Someone for likely ill intent (note the clock shot), took a video of B-2s flying through the Strait of Gibraltar. Neat video.
Note how actual contrails act, versus the persistent other trails of recent years…

I thought it would be Pete Navarro next who’s been MIA after the IEEPA Tariff decision but…
“According to Politico and the Washington Post, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer may be on the chopping block.”
The labor secretary has some problems…. most of her staff have been fired. Apparently, there was drinking on the job and some questionable expenses on trips. There is currently an investigation.
Lutnick’s been accused of insider trading when his Wall Street firm went 100% bonds last March before the April 7th tariff announcement! Remember, stock market was on tear after President Trump was inaugurated and Lutnick’s firm dumped all of it’s stock market holdings.
I think Lutnick could be next.
I also think Trump will be throwing Pete under the bus soon.
Who is “Pete”, Genius? Navarro? Hegseth? Pan?
Hegseth
Nope, Hegseth is a keeper…🇺🇲
It’s hilarious how Dims always name things the OPPOSITE of what they are 😉
I vaguely recall something about this and I believe that story was soundly debunked.
It’s true. I remember reading that Lutnick’s firm Canter Fitzgersld sold all their stock holdings and went 100% bonds in late April and thought they were abdolutely crazy because the stock market was in a rip going up every day.
Little did I know…

President Trump on Saturday posted video footage purportedly showing a massive strike in Tehran that he said “terminated” many of the regime’s military leaders.
Makes one go! Mmmm?

Trump isn’t stupid. There is a reason he hired Bondi and the other directors that seemed odd choices.
Me, I suspect those Fisa’s are double edged swords. I have no idea, but it seems like something has recently happened that allows him to remove them now.
I pray this is true.
It’s true. Thank God! He had to have angels all around him!!

The fake media don’t like to report stories favorable to President Trump if they don’t have to.

Other reports are saying the US is asking private satellites to withhold images at this time…
Maybe ‘no news is good news’….and Pentagon silence too….

Nothing at WAPO or NYT, either…

I am sad leaving my orchard behind when I move
and will have to start a new when wherever I end up.
Has been really nice to have boxes and boxes of fresh peaches, nectarines, pears and persimmon piled up everywhere for half the year. Apples never did well here. Cherries and plums mostly get eaten by the critters.
My goal is to be able to grow a few protected banana trees when I get there.
Where are you, and where are you going when you move?
Tropical areas are nice year around. Guanábana fruits grow well too…
For some reason my gas dropped 10 cents a gallon at my local Safeway…on a holiday weekend no less

There was quite a battle, but he’s almost out.
Where is suspicious cat when you need him?
Why would a US government official give Al Jazeera classified information while a rescue is ongoing? Would that not be treasonous?
No, it wouldn’t…and there would be a very good reason for it in this case.
An idiot “reporter” – Jennifer Bendery – over at Huffpo wrote an article claiming that Catholics are not invited to attend Good Friday service at the Pentagon.
…” Jennifer Bendery, a senior politics reporter at the outlet, wrote that the Pentagon “invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel.”
“Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics,” Bendery claimed…….
……..Bendery shared a memo sent to staff by Air Force leadership that read, “Just a friendly reminder: There will be a Protestant Service (No Catholic Mass) for Good Friday today at the Pentagon Chapel.”
“No Catholic Mass” does not exclude Catholics; it simply notes that a Catholic Mass is not being held. Why? Because Catholics traditionally do not attend Mass on Good Friday.”……

Over 1, 000 comments from Lefties on Bluesky.
They’ve all gobbled up Huffpo’s misinfo, hook, line, and sinker.
You can read comments w/o an account:
https://bsky.app/profile/jbendery.bsky.social/post/3mim7btui422c
They don’t believe in God (the blue sky crowd).
There was a Mass in another room for Catholics who did want to worship at the Pentagon on Good Friday.
Bendery is such an idiot that she probably doesn’t know the different liturgical traditions in Christianity.
And I’m sure Catholics were more than welcome at the “Protestant” Good Friday service, should they desire to go.
These people are ridiculous.
Comments claiming JD Vance will be denied entry, since he’s a Catholic.
Anyway, just a Heads Up for preople who are sharing Easter dinner with nutty Dems. They may bring this “latest outrage” up.
Oh, yes, the Catholics would be most welcome. But some may prefer a Mass, so the Pentagon offered both forms of worship.
All our Catholics are welcome at my house.
Holy moly!
Our local PBS station in St. Louis is airing “The Greatest Story Ever Told”, a collection of Bible stories from the 60’s or 70’s.
All we have is basic streaming and our antennas suck but tonight they are working. Many 30’s-50’s stars if you’re an old fart like me.
I’m still freaking out this is ob PBS!
Hey! You’re my neighbor!
I think that must be what my husband was watching while I was fussing about pre-Easter brunch duties.
We’re doing The Chosen’s Holy Week.
Well worth the watch.
Pray this is true for the people of Iran and the Christians living there!
We need to watch for the usual fake news from lefties. There was an uprising on January 6, 2026 in this city of about 24,000. This most likely is video from that uprising.
I came across this article at Times of Israel, re survival after ejection…interesting…and contemplating an article I read somewhere, talking about what sounded like ‘super jammers’ being utilized?….and lots of rumors (propaganda?) out there right now re. a successful rescue…nothing official. Radio silence from ‘headquarters’….
https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-does-a-fighter-pilot-survive-being-shot-down-in-enemy-territory/
We want to see that it’s true; those who are in the process of extricating this crewman probably don’t need news coverage if they’re trying to be stealthy.
But after it’s over, if they are all safe we’ll celebrate!
I remember when we lost servicemen looking for Bowe Bergdahl during the Obama regime, his absence was purposeful and he put others at risk. Then Obama honored him at the WH.
In 8 years rife with low lows, that was the lowest for me as a former service member.

🚨 NEW: Fox’s Mike Tobin reports “over 50 senior Iranian leaders were eliminated” in new U.S. attack on top officials who had been gathered together, which President Trump referenced on Truth Social.
Al Jazeera is reporting this:
Second US crew member from downed jet rescuedA US government official has told Al Jazeera that the second crew member from the downed F-15E has been recovered after a “heavy firefight”.

No, but a lot of individual confirmations, including from Congresswoman Elise Stefanik. Also the Air Force Special Forces Recruiting page.

The fake MSM aren’t quick to report anything favorable to President Trump or his administration, or detrimental to the Dems. They hide so much as well.
Interesting…am hopeful and prayerful…that all are safe…and yes I wonder about Al Jazeera as well….
BREAKING: An Orwell Prize-winning war correspondent reports the missing F-15E weapons systems officer is safe and back in American hands.
Toby Harnden, a former Royal Navy officer and author, who reported from 33 countries including Baghdad and Jerusalem for The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Times, says the WSO has been recovered alive.
An officer involved in monitoring the rescue reportedly described the ordeal:
“He evaded up a 7,000-foot ridge. They’ve been schwackin’ dudes chasing him all day. Was nuts.”
No official confirmation as of yet.
The Department of War may be waiting until all the men are out of Iranian territory entirely before making an official statement.
Its on Fox TV now…
Prayers answered…!
Heroes, all of them!
The Axios article:
Trump confirms that the US rescued the wounded F-15E WSO after he evaded Iranian forces for over a day.
What actually happens when an American pilot goes down behind enemy lines
The moment that ejection seat fires, two clocks start simultaneously.
On the ground, a disoriented pilot gathers their gear, ditches the parachute that’s visible for miles, and moves. Fast.
Enemy forces can reach a crash site in under 30 minutes.
Miles away, engines are already starting. Pave Hawks drop low at 150mph. Attack aircraft begin circling. Coordinates are refined in real time.
The pilot’s training takes over. SERE: Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape. Move undetected. Find water without giving away position.
Navigate without GPS. Every transmission risks detection, so communication comes in short encrypted bursts.
Just enough to say “alive” and give a location.
After 24-48 hours, fatigue and dehydration degrade everything. Decisions get harder.
Movement slows. Detection risk climbs.
This is reportedly what’s playing out in southwestern Iran over the last couple of days.

For years, California leaders accused oil companies of price gouging at the pump, but a state investigation found no evidence of that. Instead, a CBS News California investigation found what’s really driving the highest gas prices in the U.S.

Hundreds of College Students Baptized at University of Pittsburgh in Late-Night Campus Revival! 🙏
Hundreds of college students at the University of Pittsburgh took a big step of faith this weekend. They were baptized right on campus during a Unite US event. Organizers say the students made a clear decision to “go all in with Jesus.” The night was filled with music, prayer, and real moments of change.
Thousands of students showed up for the gathering. What started as a normal campus night turned into something special. People reported seeing physical healings and hearing strong personal stories. Baptisms went on until after midnight, and the team kept going because so many wanted to take part.
This event stands out because it happened at a major university – a place where students are often busy with classes, parties, and future plans. Instead, many chose to pause and focus on faith. Organizers from Unite US called it part of a bigger move happening on college campuses across the country.
The videos and stories from the night are already spreading fast online. For many watching, it’s a hopeful sign that young people are looking for something deeper than everyday campus life. Whether you share the same faith or not, it shows students today are hungry for purpose and community.

Fox News Update 28 mins ago
US forces locate and evacuate downed airman in Iran
U.S. forces have located and evacuated the missing weapons systems officer who was downed over Iran, two senior US officials and multiple well placed sources in the region confirmed to Fox News.
The airman had been unaccounted for after an F-15E fighter jet was shot down, triggering an intense search-and-rescue operation in hostile territory.
Details remain limited, but reports indicate U.S. personnel reached the service member behind enemy lines in Iran and successfully extracted him, with all personnel now safely out of the country.
More details will be reported as they become available.
Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin contributed to this reporting.
