The United States and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday, according to American and Israeli officials, as multiple explosions resounded in Tehran.
The attack followed months of rising regional tensions amid threats by President Trump to attack.
Israel Katz, the Israeli defense minister, announced the strike in a statement, adding that the country would be under a state of emergency. The U.S. and Israeli officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss national security matters.
Three massive explosions were heard in central Tehran, according to the semiofficial news agency Fars. The casualties and targets were not immediately clear. In Israel, air-raid sirens blared across the country, warning Israelis to expect potential Iranian retaliation.

Former President Bill Clinton released a video statement on his Epstein deposition.
On Friday Bill Clinton testified before the House Oversight Committee on his connections to Jeffrey Epstein from an office in Chappaqua, New York.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer told reporters that Bill Clinton testified that to his knowledge President Trump was not involved with Epstein.
“Trump has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved with Epstein,” Comer said.
Fox News also reported that Bill Clinton’s lawyers stepped in several times to stop him from talking too much during the deposition.
Later Friday evening, a hoarse Bill Clinton broke his silence after his 7-hour deposition.
“I just finished testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee. I did it for two reasons. First, I live my country, including our Constitution. And America was built on the idea that no person is above the law. Even presidents. Especially presidents and that we should all live under the same set of rules,” Bill Clinton said.
“Though my brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light, and though I never witnessed during our limited interactions any indication of what was truly going on, I offered the little I do know in hopes that it might prevent anything like this from ever happening again,” Clinton said.
“I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see. And I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” Clinton said echoing his opening statement to the Committee.
Bill Clinton also lashed out at the Oversight Committee for deposing Hillary Clinton.
“I also have to say something personal. Republicans made Hillary testify yesterday and she had nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein, nothing. She has no memory of even meeting him,” Clinton said.
WATCH:
President Trump earlier Friday appeared to defend Bill Clinton.
“I don’t like seeing him deposed, but they certainly went after me a lot more than that,” Trump said.

The notoriously liberal national newspaper USA Today just published an op-ed from a woman living in Texas who is a Democrat and says that she loved Trump’s State of the Union Address.
She even calls out her own party for their childish behavior during the speech and says it is going to influence the way she votes in the 2026 midterms. How many people like her are out there?
Is there something shifting in American media right now? It sure looks that way on some days.
I’m a Democrat. Trump’s State of Union made me like him more
I watched President Donald Trump’s entire 2026 State of the Union speech. And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections.
This was the first time I wasn’t bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say. I appreciate his businessman’s approach to the economy and tariffs. I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and celebrated the economy wins by putting America first.
I am disappointed in all the elected leaders who refused to celebrate the people who have been sacrificed because of the policies brought about by the Biden administration.
The speech improved my opinion of Trump, and I believe he has only the best interests of the United States at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working, and I wish the Democratic Party would give him the same courtesy they gave the Obama administration with illegal aliens.
It does not need to be this difficult. I believe Trump is trying to make government more transparent and follow the rules.
Government needs to actually represent the people, not politicians’ self interests and agenda. I am actually a registered Democrat, and I was ashamed of how congressional Democrats were acting at the State of the Union ‒ not giving Trump the common courtesy and respect the office of the president deserves.
It’s kind of shocking that USA Today even published this.
Opinion: This was the first State of the Union where I wasn't bored. I actually agreed with everything Trump said. And I appreciate his businessman's approach. https://t.co/QWc0SkTd0p
People at CNN are in a panic as Paramount is set to become the new owner of the far left network. The owner of Paramount is known to lean a little more to the right, so some people at the network are worried that they won’t be allowed to continue spinning the news against Trump and Republicans every day.
Enter noted potato, Brian Stelter.
Stelter appeared on the air with Wolf Blitzer tonight and offered an absolutely laughable take on the network’s coverage of the news.
Paramount’s victory in the Warner Bros. Discovery merger battle is causing great unrest inside CNN. Fox News is finding anonymous CNN staffers freaking out at the news. On CNN’s The Situation Room, chief media analyst Brian Stelter inspired an unintentional laugh riot when he said Paramount’s goal of news that’s “balanced and fact-based….sure sounds a lot like CNN’s mission.”
He also tried to address the maintenance of liberal bias, which he described as “editorial independence” that defines CNN. This is a fraught term, considering CNN didn’t exactly show independence on stories like President Biden’s mental decline — although Jake Tapper caught up after the election.
STELTER: Now, more broadly, CNN employees and viewers have real concern about whether Paramount CEO David Ellison will uphold the editorial independence that CNN is known for. There has been severe political turbulence in recent months, and President Trump has long sought to weaken CNN. Last December, Trump said, quote, it’s imperative that CNN be sold, and now that is what’s happening.
But I can tell you, Ellison has talked in recent months about how he wants to sustain the news business in the United States. And he has talked about his belief that, quote, “the majority of the country longs for news that is balanced and is fact-based.” And, Wolf, that sure sounds a lot like CNN’s mission, a lot of similarities here.

Kaillie Humphries is a woman who just won an Olympic medal for women’s bobsledding. She is also apparently a Republican who supports President Trump, and a proud legal immigrant from Canada. What’s not to like?
She revealed all of this in a recent interview with FOX News Digital.
Humphries also stood up for women’s sports, pointing out the obvious differences between men and women athletes. She also stands by the men’s hockey team for visiting the White House. This lady has it all.
Olympic legend Kaillie Humphries reveals support for Trump, ICE, saving women’s sports and men’s hockey team
U.S. Olympian Kaillie Humphries cemented her position as the most successful women’s bobsled pilot in history. And now she can say what she really thinks.
Humphries won a hard-earned bronze in the women’s two-person bobsled last weekend, marking her sixth Olympic medal, adding to her collection of three golds and two other bronzes.
Now, as Humphries looks ahead to her next contribution to Team USA, she hopes to serve on the White House Task Force for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
She hopes to do so as a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump.
“I’m a Republican,” Humphries told Fox News Digital, adding that she voted for Trump in 2024…
Her process of becoming a legal immigrant and forging a new life in the U.S., having settled in San Diego, California, where she now raises a son with her husband Travis, has given her immense pride as an American. She believes it’s a system that must be upheld and respected.
“I stand with legal immigration. I think it’s a very hard process, it’s not an easy process,” she said, noting the American flag on her T-shirt. “It shouldn’t be an easy process. It’s hard, you are actively seeking something great. It’s why I can stand here and be very proud to wear this flag across my chest and represent the United States.

Film funny man Jim Carrey has a new look and it’s turning some heads.
People in Hollywood tend to have work done on their faces but it really makes people notice if it changes their look. Carrey doesn’t even look like the same person anymore.
He revealed his new face at an awards show in Paris.
Jim Carrey Looks ‘Unrecognizable’ During Rare Award Show Appearance in Paris — as Fans Suspect Reclusive Actor Secretly Had ‘Plastic Surgery’
Hollywood comedy legend Jim Carrey sparked plastic surgery rumors after his appearance baffled some of his fans during a rare public sighting at the César Film Awards in Paris, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
Some viewers went so far as to claim he looked “unrecognizable” and wondered if it was actually him, while others suggested that he’d gotten everything from Botox and cheek fillers to surgeries on his eyes to alter his iconic look.
On Thursday, February 26, Carrey took the stage to accept the 2026 honorary César Award, giving a short speech in French.
“As an actor, each character you play is like clay in the sculptor’s hands, which you shape to your heart’s desire,” he said. “How fortunate I have been to share this art with so many people who have truly opened their hearts to me.”
See the video below, this is wild:

Joe Biden slammed President Trump on Friday evening during a political event in South Carolina.
“We’re honored to welcome President Joe Biden to Columbia on Friday, February 27, for a reception commemorating his pivotal 2020 South Carolina primary victory and thank him for a lifetime of public service,” The South Carolina Democrat Party said.
Joe Biden was a mess when he deplaned in South Carolina.
He wandered over to a woman in a wheelchair, took her phone and froze up before an aide intervened.
WATCH:
Later Friday evening Joe Biden delivered remarks at an event hosted by the South Carolina Democrat Party at the Columbia Museum of Art.
Biden slammed President Trump and blamed Covid for the border crisis during his speech.
Joe Biden absurdly claimed that HE closed the border – NOT President Trump.
“The day I left office, border crossings in the United States were lower than the day that I entered that office and inherited from Trump. He’s – I won’t say it,” Biden said.
“On the day I left office, I handed Trump the strongest economy in the world! In the world! And that’s not hyperbole. That’s a fact!” Biden said even though near record inflation was crushing Americans in January 2025.
The man accused of being behind the fatal stabbing of a 41-year-old woman at a bus stop in Fairfax County, Virginia, was charged with second-degree murder.
Joe Biden on Friday delivered his classic slurred speech at a Democratic Party event in South Carolina, where he started yelling jibberish about Trump’s State of the Union.
Biden took a jab at Trump’s speech, the longest State of the Union in history, at 1 hour and 48 minutes long.
“Did you see Trump give the State of– Union yest– last night? Is he still talking?” Biden asked the crowd like a confused old man trying to make a joke to his grandchildren.
“It’s unbelievable! The guy talks for almost two hours, but never mentions the anniversary of Putin invading Ukraine. Never once,” he continued in reference to the fourth anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022– when Biden was President.
In a way, he’s right, though. Trump could have said, “Four years ago, today, under Crooked Joe Biden, America was so weak that Russia invaded Ukraine.”
Biden and the Democrats are honestly lucky that he didn’t bring up Biden’s failure on that front, on the Afghanistan withdrawal, or in the Middle East.
WATCH:
Biden: By the way, did you see Trump give the State of– Union yest– last night? Is he still talking?
But folks, it’s unbelievable! The guy talks for almost two hours, but never mentions the anniversary of Putin invading Ukraine. Never once.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Biden arrived in South Carolina earlier to deliver a speech at an event to commemorate his 2020 “win.”
Upon landing, Biden wandered over to a woman in a wheelchair, took her phone, and froze up before an aide intervened.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a sweeping move to end Department of War attendance at Ivy League and elite universities that have become hotbeds of “woke indoctrination.”
On Friday, Secretary Hegseth announced that the Department of War is OFFICIALLY CUTTING TIES with the woke Ivy League “elites” who have spent decades poisoning the minds of our nation’s future military leaders.
No longer will American taxpayer dollars be used to subsidize institutions that hate the very country our soldiers swear to defend.
“For too long, the Ivy League and similar institutions have been subjecting our warriors to woke indoctrination—those days are over,” the secretary wrote on X.
For years, the radical Left has used professional military education to push a “curriculum of contempt.” Hegseth is putting an immediate stop to it.
Starting in the 2026-2027 academic year, the Department of War will cancel all attendance at institutions including Princeton, Columbia, MIT, Brown, and Yale.
That includes graduate fellowships, professional military education courses, and any Pentagon subsidies that send uniformed officers into programs that do not align with national security priorities.
Hegseth was crystal clear: The mission of the military is to FIGHT AND WIN WARS, not to master “globalist submission” or “social justice activism.”
The decision extends beyond Ivy League campuses. Hegseth has also ordered a top-to-bottom review of all military war colleges and internal Department of War education programs to ensure they refocus on strategic thought, combat readiness, and the foundational principles of the Republic.
Pete Hegseth:
“There should exist a sacred trust between America’s institutions and our warriors. It should be a trust that demands we develop our finest military leaders with the highest standards so that they are equipped to fight and win our nation’s wars with absolute lethality—from basic training to the halls of higher education.
That said, our senior service colleges have always been expected to act in the interests of this principle: to transform our senior warfighters into strategic thinkers—soldiers capable of mastering the complexities of modern warfare and leading our joint force to victory at every echelon.
Unfortunately, this sacred trust has been broken in this military’s professional military education system. It’s been poisoned from within by a class of so-called elite universities who’ve abused their privilege and access to this department and utterly betrayed their purpose.
For decades, the Ivy League and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars, only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain.
They’ve taken our best and brightest—the men and women who pledge their lives to this nation—and subjected them to a curriculum of contempt. They’ve replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of wokeness and weakness.
They’ve traded true intellectual rigor for radical dogma, sacrificing free expression for the suffocating confines of leftist ideology.
What is the purpose, you may ask, of investing in an education that teaches our warriors to despise the very nation they swore to defend? What’s the value of a degree that seeks to hollow out their warrior ethos and replace it with a creed of globalist submission?
The answer is simple: there is none.
Let’s be brutally honest about how we define our terms here. This is not education; it’s indoctrination. It’s a calculated, targeted assault on the core of our fighting force, and it is a betrayal that we will no longer tolerate.
The Department of War is finished subsidizing the corruption of our own uniformed class. We’re done paying for the privilege of having our enemies’ wicked ideologies taught to our future leaders.
We’ve had enough. We demand that senior service colleges work to sharpen our warfighters on genuine national security issues—not social justice activism.
We demand curriculums grounded in the founding principles of this Republic—principles that champion the enduring ideals of peace through strength and putting American interests first. We demand universities that invest back into our nation’s prosperity rather than our greatest adversaries.
It’s common sense. No longer will we sit back and treat these woke breeding grounds of toxic indoctrination as valid centers of so-called intellectual curiosity. We cannot and will not continue to send our most capable officers—senior officers—into graduate programs that undermine the very values they have sworn to uphold.
That’s why today, just like we did with Harvard, I’m ordering the complete and immediate cancellation of all Department of War attendance at institutions like Princeton, Columbia, MIT, Brown, Yale, and many others, starting next academic year—2026–2027.
Furthermore, we’re going to hold ourselves accountable as well. In the coming days, I will direct a formal, top-to-bottom review of our own internal war colleges, ensuring they are once again bastions of strategic thought—wholly dedicated to the singular mission of developing the most lethal and effective leaders and warfighters the world has ever known.
As a final message to our warriors: the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you. The so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice. But never forget that we—the War Department—have your back. The American people have your back. And President Trump has your back, always.”

President Trump stopped at a Whataburger in Corpus Christi, Texas, after he delivered remarks on his energy agenda.
The president traveled to Texas to deliver remarks at the Port of Corpus Christi.
“As President Donald J. Trump travels to Corpus Christi, Texas, today, he returns to a state that is thriving under Republican leadership — powered by American energy dominance, bold tax relief, secure borders, and massive private sector investments,” the White House said in a statement.
“Under President Trump, Texas families are seeing real results in lower costs, higher wages, safer streets, and more jobs — with much more to come as the Trump Administration works tirelessly to repair the damage of the Biden era,” the White House said.
After his remarks, Trump stopped at a Whataburger restaurant.
The crowd in the restaurant went wild as President Trump walked in and ordered hamburgers for everyone.
“Burgers for the whole place!” President Trump said. “If this were a bar, I would say drinks for all, but I don’t drink!”
President Trump also trashed the Democrats and called them “crazy.”

Jimmy’s Famous Seafood co-owner John Minadakis spoke to The Gateway Pundit on Thursday following their incredible response to the liberal media’s anti-American reporting on Team USA’s Olympic victory. The restaurant went viral on social media for flat-out telling the news outlets to “go f*ck yourself.”
The restaurant has been operating in East Baltimore since 1974, when Minadakis’s father, Demetrios “Jimmy” Minadakis, came to the US from Greece and opened the family business, which is now a Baltimore staple. “My father came here from Greece when he was an immigrant in the late 60s, worked in the hospitality industry between PA and DC— dishwasher, busboy, whatever it takes, right— and saved a little bit of money up and ultimately ended up here where we’re sitting right now,” John told The Gateway Pundit.
“If I had to describe it in three words, you know, Jimmy’s seafood is the American dream.”
And when liberal media outlets attacked the country we love and our American culture, the Minadakis family didn’t hold back.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Jimmy’s Famous Seafood went viral over the past week for shutting down the leftwing media on social media after they tried to diminish the USA Men’s Hockey team’s Olympic gold medal win by suggesting that Americans should not be proud of their country.
“Go f*ck yourself,” the restaurant’s owners said on social media to far-left Huff Post, New York Times, and the Baltimore Sun.
John told The Gateway Pundit that the initial interaction on X, which has now garnered over 17 million views, far outnumbering the Huffington Post's original tweet about why celebrating the USA should "turn you off," that they've received "overwhelming positivity."
"You're seeing so many people that aren’t just proud of, not only that team, but what this country has afforded them, and it's coming out, and they're just, they're proud, man. It's beautiful. It's like Fourth of July every day this week. It really is. So, whether it's on Twitter, or Facebook, or Instagram, or via email, people are sharing amazing stories, disabled veterans that are emailing us saying how much joy the tweet brought them. The three words, you know, it's crazy. It's beautiful," John said, noting that some people are traveling hundreds or even thousands of miles just to try their restaurant. "The thing that we've been reading the most is, ‘You said what we were all thinking.’"
"No matter if you were in a bar, if you were on your couch, you probably had tears in your eyes, you had goosebumps, you were hugging whoever you were next to, you weren't checking voter cards, you know? It was unifying. And then here comes Huffington Post, saying, ‘Oh, you know, you shouldn't really be cheering for the guys.’ It's, you know, the first thing I thought, I typed, and I guess it was the tweet heard around the world," John said of his thinking behind the post.
"I just don't think it's a, yeah, patriotism isn't political. That's the truth. I strongly disagree with anybody trying to make this monumental win for our country political," John added.
He further responded to Keith Olbermann, who, as The Gateway Pundit reported, made an unhinged X post, calling the Men's hockey team "stupid, self-absorbed and misogynistic" for accepting President Trump's invite to the White House.
"I'll be honest, I don't think either side of the political fence claims Keith Olbermann anymore. I think he's that far gone," John said. "Once again, I just think he's trying to interject politics into it, trying to get his name out there. He's trying to remain relevant when he hasn't been for a long time. And, you know, I just couldn't imagine telling somebody who has dedicated their entire life to a sport and being the 1% of the 1% and achieving their goals."
"When you're eight years old, playing rollerskate hockey with your buddies, you dream of that moment, to meet the president, right? And then you're gonna have Keith Olbermann tell you that you shouldn't go? I think that's a little ridiculous."
The social media reaction has been such a hit that Jimmy's is even selling t-shirts featuring the new slogan, with proceeds supporting the Folds of Honor nonprofit, which supports the families of fallen or disabled troops and first responders. Merchandise and food from the restaurant are available to ship at Jimmysfamousseafood.com (the crab cakes are amazing!).
Jimmy's Famous Seafood's "GFY" T-shirt
As John explained, his family restaurant frequently shares the wealth, helping local businesses stay afloat during COVID, through their Famous Fund, and donating to organizations like the Wounded Warrior Project, which they already donated $10,000 to after their USA Olympic gold medal t-shirt completely sold out in just three days. "Because of the American dream and everybody blessing our family and this country blessing our family, you know, we're in a position to give back, and I think it is our duty and our responsibility," John said.
This author also had the opportunity to try their crab cakes, crab eggrolls, calamari, shrimp, sushi, steak, and various other appetizers, and this is truly one of the best restaurants in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia area.
Acting HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience for the first time since taking his new role, and he did not shy away from detailing the fraud he says he uncovered after finally stepping into a position of power.
With Medicaid and Medicare alone, Kennedy said, “We lose just on Medicaid and Medicare, $100 billion a year. And it’s all just this, really, ya know, shocking, blatant fraud.”
As HHS Secretary, Kennedy described an industrialized scheme operating out of Florida, where P.O. boxes were set up for companies claiming to sell durable medical equipment like knee braces and wheelchairs.
But there’s one small problem: “They don’t have any knee braces or wheelchairs.”
However, they do have patient identification numbers.
Those ID numbers are used to bill the government for equipment that never ships. Kennedy said many of these schemes are operating out of countries like Cuba or Russia.
He then pointed to another staggering example: Los Angeles has more hospice care providers than the entire rest of the country COMBINED.
How is that possible? That’s because “it’s all fraudulent,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy added that this fraud accelerated under the Biden administration, where he says officials ended the program integrity office and told staff, “We don’t want to do program integrity anymore. We now just want to focus everything on enrollments.”
Kennedy argues you could say there was “bad motive there.”
