John Daniel Davidson seems to be continuing his efforts to damage morale, and even the Daily Caller

The Federalist editor John Daniel Davidson, who previously made defeatist arguements regarding the war against Islamofascism, which he termed "forever wars", looks like he's still keeping up a Tucker Carlson-influenced position, and hinting he's against ground operations, if that's what's needed to bring down the Islamofascists still in Iran. What he says was written in response to the crisis at the straits of Hormuz:

To open the strait, the administration is going to have to choose among a set of actions that are, for obvious reasons, unappealing and unpopular: all-out regime change, the deployment of U.S. ground forces to the Iranian coast (among other possible deployments inside Iran, like using U.S. Special Forces to secure nuclear sites and materials), and Persian Gulf convoys for the foreseeable future.

While much depends on how these things are done, they will likely be deeply unpopular — and not just with Trump’s critics on the left. Polls right now indicate broad support for the war among Republicans and the president’s MAGA base, but the minute U.S. troops set foot on Iranian soil we should expect that support to begin eroding.

So in other words, it's okay for Iran to cause chaos for anyone sailing through Hormuz, but ground troops bringing down the dictatorship is inherently wrong, huh? What a shoddy disgrace Davidson's being. Hey, of course it's bad if say, Europe's militaries aren't willing to take any of the needed steps to deal with this, but that doesn't mean the USA military shouldn't deal with the situation and do everything possible to put a stop to what Iran's doing there. Again, we seem to have here a situation where somebody refuses to recognize that freedom isn't free, and Davidson clearly doesn't want to help Reza Pahlavi in his own campaign to put a stop to the Iranian autocracy.

That’s why the Trump administration should begin a concerted and coordinated effort now to assuage Americans’ concerns about getting bogged down in Iran. If victory in Iran is going to require more than flying sorties over Iranian airspace and dropping bombs, then Trump and his officials should begin preparing the American people for that eventuality.

Indeed, support for any overseas military action often depends on managing Americans’ expectations. If the message is that the Iran war will be a walk in the park, or that it will be over by the end of the month, and it turns out that major, months-long operations (and possibly ground troops) are going to be required to secure the Strait of Hormuz or enact regime change, that will erode support for the war faster than anything.

Because Davidson wants it to. And that's shameful. I think this could be a case of wanting to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. I'm not convinced Davidson even cares about Europe's dire state, based on such fishy and otherwise shoddy coverage. If there's uranium in Iran that needs to be stopped, it's just all the more disturbing that somebody would oppose that, especially somebody claiming to be a conservative.

Since this subject came up, here's another article about the sad situation where a considerable number of Americans don't want to do any ground combat, and worse, may not want the USA military defeating Iran's ayatollah regime at all. although since this is the Daily Caller, the site co-founded by Tucker Carlson, perhaps what they're saying is skewed:

Recent polling shows weak support for the war among Americans. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released March 1, only 27% support strikes against Iran. Support among Republicans is at 55%, while it is 19% among independents and just 7% among Democrats — making it one of the most unpopular wars in decades.

“It’s unusual to have such a negative response when American troops are still fighting, and I think that has everything to do with the polarization we’re facing,” pollster Scott Rasmussen, founder of Rasmussen Reports, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Now, that the view about Iran is becoming more negative. Let’s be very clear about this. There is a lot of downside potential coming out of Iran that could really hurt the president, really hurt Republicans,” Rasmussen said.

What's strange is that in the following poll news, coming from Rasmussen's own company, however, contradicts what the Daily Caller's claiming:

Polling throughout the nearly three-week U.S.-Israeli military operation against Iran has consistently shown near-unanimous backing for President Donald Trump’s decision to launch Operation Epic Fury among the MAGA base and overwhelming support among Republicans, while a new Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday finds that a majority of likely voters overall say the operation has been succeeding.

The Rasmussen poll found that 61 percent of likely voters say the military operation against Iran has been successful so far, including 35 percent who describe it as “very successful.” [...]

Other polling has reinforced the same pattern across multiple surveys conducted since the operation began.

An Economist/YouGov poll conducted in recent days found that 87 percent of MAGA supporters approve of Trump’s handling of Iran, while other surveys have placed support as high as 91 percent among MAGA-aligned voters.

This certainly is much different than what the Daily Caller's telling, and indeed, how is it possible Rasmussen himself would be quoted telling them such a downer? For all we know, they probably distorted his statements, and provided one more reason why anything coming from Daily Caller has to be taken with a grain of salt. I guess that's the Carlson influence in motion alright.

Davidson is not suited for his job with the bizarrely defeatist approach he's taking that doesn't recognize why it's inevitable when moral sacrifices need to be made among patriots to prevent much worse from occurring, and it's also shameful how he, along with the Daily Caller, are even belittling Reza Pahlavi's crowd and practically erasing them along the way. Apparently, more sensible people are invalid in their hypocritical viewpoint.

IDF obliterates another Iranian overlord

The IDF's targeted strikes against jihadists in Iran has now seen the punishment of one Ali Larjani, who was a leading commander of the IRGC:

The IDF confirmed on Tuesday that the Israeli Air Force, acting on IDF intelligence, and through the integration of unique operational capabilities, conducted a precise strike on Monday that eliminated Ali Larijani, the Secretary of Iranian Supreme National Security Council, who operated as the de facto leader of the Iranian terror regime. The strike was conducted while he was located near Tehran.

Throughout the years, Larijani was considered one of the most veteran and senior figures within the Iranian regime leadership and was a close associate of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Following the elimination of Khamenei, Larijani consolidated his status as the de facto leader of the Iranian regime and led the combat efforts against the State of Israel and countries across the region.

As a part of his role, Larijani led the regime’s national-security coordination and directed its international activity, including engagement with members of the axis.

During the most recent wave of protests against the Iranian terror regime, Larijani advanced violent enforcement measures and repression operations, and personally oversaw the massacre that was carried out against Iranian protestors.

This was a repulsive monster who deserved to be smashed to death. We can only hope his punishment will help further the demise of the dictatorship in Iran.

Muslims in India attack Hindus over music

Hugh Fitzgerald points to the disturbing problem of Islamofascists in India who attacked Hinduists over their music celebrations, on Ramadan and surely even when it's not the holiday:

Contrary to the popular view that portrays them as a hapless minority, Muslims are the second-largest population and the fastest-growing demographic in India, and by far the most pampered one, be it by media, politicians, or pop culture. Ramadan is a month when Muslims fast during the daytime; however, it is shocking how Muslims force their religious beliefs on non-Muslims, Hindus in particular, and stop them from going on with their regular lives and celebrating their festivities.

In Banswada town in Telangana, a Muslim mob gathered in front of a department store and resorted to violence. The incident occurred on February 20, when a Hindu saleswoman at the Reliance Smart Mart store played a devotional song dedicated to the Hindu deity, Goddess Durga. A Muslim customer, Muzammil, who was at the store at the time, objected to the music and asked her to stop it, as Ramadan was ongoing.

The situation quickly deteriorated, as a massive Muslim crowd gathered outside the store and began throwing stones at it. Police efforts to calm the throng were also met with stone-throwing, leaving at least two police constables injured. Police officials have confirmed that 10 to 12 individuals have been arrested in connection with the unrest. In response, additional security forces were deployed throughout the town to stop further escalation. Authorities, who are always rushing in to safeguard Muslims, their interests, and image, warned against the spread of provocative content on social media that could incite further communal tension. Efforts were reportedly made to suppress this news, or rather, the incident did not find mention in many news reports.

Another incident of Islamic entitlement during the holy month occurred in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, which again was not reported by most news agencies, lest the popular perception of Muslims be tarnished. A traditional Hindu wedding procession turned violent on Friday night, February 20, after a dispute over the music played during the celebration escalated. The incident occurred in the Rakhial area when the Hindu groom’s party was playing songs dedicated to Hindu deities associated with the ceremony, a common practice in India. Muslims formed a gathering and objected to the music, citing the ongoing observance of Ramadan, and demanded that the Hindus stop playing the songs.

The disagreement quickly turned hostile, as Muslims started throwing stones at wedding guests and nearby parked vehicles, forcing the celebration to be halted abruptly. The Hindus were holding their celebrations at their venue, and the Muslims still objected to it, claiming that they were fasting and preferred quieter gatherings.

This is utterly repugnant, and any police, media and politicians who bury the news for the sake of brownie points should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. The public in India who were struck by these atrocities should start demanding that the Islamofascists be exiled, and there should be serious opposition to any further indoctrination by the Religion of Peace.

How the IDF took down Iran's missile and defense systems

Some news about how the IDF managed to defeat much of Iran's weaponry to date, and also smashed much of Hezbollah in Lebanon:

The IDF has released new data on Operation Roaring Lion in Iran, detailing the stages of preparation for the campaign, the opening strike, and operational efforts undertaken since the start of the conflict.

According to the army, in the months preceding the operation, the Intelligence Directorate concentrated extensive efforts while applying lessons learned from previous operations against Iran. The IDF emphasized that Israel entered the campaign with the understanding that Iran is a significant-capability enemy that must not be underestimated.

According to the data, the operation in Iran is being conducted according to a pre-planned, structured program, on which thousands of military Intelligence and IDF personnel in both regular and reserve units worked. The IDF noted that almost all targets struck in the operation are new targets identified by Military Intelligence after Operation Rising Lion, the result of a long-term intelligence effort spanning years.

The IDF also noted that Hezbollah was significantly weakened following Operation Northern Arrows, with its weapons arsenal reduced by approximately 90 percent. The damage to the organization and the IDF’s defensive preparations, according to them, allow freedom of action in Lebanon and Iran.

Security officials assessed that Hezbollah might join the conflict, so a broad preparation effort was carried out and operational plans were adapted in advance. The IDF stated that it is well-prepared for both defense and offense on the northern border. [...]

At the current stage of the campaign, the effort is focused on systematically targeting centers of power of the Iranian regime, including command headquarters, control centers, Basij sites, and the regime’s suppression forces.

The IDF noted that unlike Operation Rising Lion, which focused on an immediate threat, Operation Roaring Lion provides an opportunity to strike more broadly at Iran’s strategic capabilities.

In the early days of the operation, efforts focused on striking Iran’s ballistic missile system, aiming to reduce launches toward Israel. According to the IDF, after more than two weeks of fighting, a significant decline in launches toward the Israeli home front is observed compared to Operation Rising Lion.

It was also reported that the IDF achieved air superiority within just 24 hours, enabling extensive operations over most of Iran’s airspace. As part of the strikes, 120 detection components and 100 air defense systems were destroyed.

The IDF noted that so far, most Iranian missile launchers have been hit and 85 percent of the regime’s detection capabilities have been damaged. Additionally, approximately 70 percent of Iranian launchers were rendered inoperative.

As part of the strikes against Iranian military industries, a significant impact was inflicted on missile production, leaving Iran with no current ability to manufacture missiles. The IDF stated that it continues to strike the production chain to maintain this achievement.

In recent days, the IDF has also acted against the command chain of the Iranian missile system, including command officers and missile bases, as well as against alternative residences and headquarters. These moves, according to the army, have led to a drastic reduction in missile fire toward Israel.

There's still danger of missiles being launched, and as of now, there were at least 2 alarms sounded today. But hopefully, this operation will ultimately result in Iran's regime being reduced to rubble as they deserve, and hopefully, Reza Pahlavi will be able to ensure a more civilized leadership will replace the mullahs. And maybe the country name will return to being "Persia" again.

Actor/director Timothy Busfield's sexual abuse trial set so far for next year

The disgraced actor/director Timothy Busfield's trial for sexual abuse charges has been set for next year:

A trial date has been set in Timothy Busfield's ongoing legal battle.

The West Wing alum's trial is scheduled to begin in May 2027, his criminal defense attorney Amber Fayerberg confirmed to PEOPLE on Wednesday, March 11. The date is subject to change and could potentially be sooner.

According to the court dockets, the proceedings are scheduled to last three weeks.

Let's hope the trial is held earlier, and most importantly, that Busfield will be convicted and incarcerated for his crimes. Then he can share a cell with Harvey Weinstein.

USA Congress caucus against Islamic sharia grows to more members

Some good news about the size of a special caucus opposed to Islamic sharia in the USA:

The Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives has reached 50 members. That’s nearly a quarter of the Republican House delegation. And it also shows the growing popularity of opposition to the Islamization of America within the Republican Party despite efforts by elites like Tucker Carlson to Islamize the GOP.

Back in mid-January, a press release by Rep. Keith Self and Rep. Chip Roy, who launched the caucus, noted that it had added 24 members in one month.

It’s now more than double that size.

That's great. And good to see the awful Carlson isn't succeeding in his sellouts to the Religion of Peace.

FBI warns of possible Iranian terror attack off the west coast

The FBI issued a warning that, as the war against Iran continues, they could try to attack areas like California with missiles from off the coast:

The FBI recently warned police departments in California that Iran could attempt to attack the US West Coast using drones launched from vessels at sea, according to a report by ABC News on Wednesday based on a warning bulletin obtained by the network.

The alert, circulated in late February, said that "recent information indicates that Iran sought, as of early February 2026, to carry out a surprise drone attack from an unidentified vessel off the US coast, particularly against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US attacks Iran."

This is what far-left California fails to consider, as all the while, all they care about is implementing their far-left ideologies. Now that the news made headlines, however, celebrities attending the Oscar ceremony are receiving increased security. But will all this change their minds about Iran's Islamic totalitarians? Alas, probably not.

Ramat Gan religious council head stabbed in terror attack

A terrorist attack occurred in Ramat Gan:

The head of the Ramat Gan Religious Council, Adv. Gedalyahu Ben Shimon, a senior Shas Party official and member of the Bnei Brak City Council, was severely wounded on Thursday in a stabbing on Bialik Street in Ramat Gan

A Magen David Adom (MDA) medical team that was dispatched to the scene provided medical care and took the 47-year-old victim to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

The police arrested a 20-year-old Arab from Jatt at the scene and are investigating the background. The Shin Bet is involved in the investigation.

According to eye-witnesses, the suspect shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the act.

Besides how repulsive this incident is, it also makes clear that even in Israel, there's jihadists who can use that exclamation that's insulting to God, and goes against the Commandment, "thou shalt not use God's name in vain".

It's a challenging question of whether Haredis will wake up and recognize the reality of how Islamic jihadists are completely indiscriminate about who they attack, and that Haredis have been and still are some of the biggest victims of the Religion of Peace.
