The Media’s Iran Meltdown: Vance Exposes the Spin Machine
While Trump’s strike shattered Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the press is busy trying to rewrite history.
Good Morning, it’s Thursday, June 26th, 2025.
Trump’s Iran strike was a military masterclass—decisive, clean, and without a single American casualty. But instead of acknowledging the win, the media is running interference, parroting anonymous leaks and pretending it’s all a big question mark. JD Vance just tore through the nonsense and called it what it is: a desperate attempt to smear Trump and protect the bureaucracy.

Vance Nukes the Media for Running Cover on Iran Strike Sabotage
Vice President JD Vance just called out the entire D.C. media class and torched the intelligence leakers trying to undermine Trump’s Iran strike success.
Vance didn’t just defend the mission—he took a flamethrower to the lazy, dishonest reporting and the shady bureaucrats behind the leaks. The strikes leveled Iran’s nuclear program, no Americans were killed, and yet the press is somehow spinning this as a failure. Why? Because the Deep State handed them a “low confidence” intel memo suggesting Iran might, someday, rebuild.
Here’s the truth: Trump ordered a dozen 30,000-pound bunker busters to rain hell on Iran’s top nuke site. Two others were also wrecked. Everyone agrees the bombs hit their mark. The debate now? Not whether Iran can make a bomb—it can’t—but how long it would take to rebuild, if they even dare.
And instead of celebrating a wildly successful military op, the media is obsessing over hypothetical rebuild timelines. They’re quoting Iranian spin and half-baked leaks over our own Pentagon. That’s not journalism—it’s sabotage.
Vance nailed it: “The entire debate… is not about whether Iran can now build a nuke. They can’t. It’s about how much rebuilding the Iranians would have to do.” In other words, we shattered their program, and the only question left is how badly.
He went further, asking what no “mainstream” reporter will: who’s leaking intel to hurt the president, and why? These aren’t whistleblowers—they’re unelected saboteurs waging war on accountability.
Vance ended with a brutal warning: “Pay attention to the reporters laundering talking points from junior careerists in the intelligence community. President Trump has obliterated the Iranian nuclear program. The American media seems destined to obliterate their own credibility on this fake story.”
Bottom line: Vance put the media on blast for carrying water for Iran and exposed the real scandal—an unaccountable intelligence class trying to run foreign policy from the shadows. He’s not just defending Trump; he’s defending the truth. And he’s daring the media to cover it.
The Media Would Rather See America Fail Than Admit Trump Just Won
Trump just brokered a Middle East ceasefire and obliterated Iran’s nuclear facilities—yet the media’s mourning like it’s a funeral. MSNBC calls the ceasefire “fragile,” the Washington Post whines about Trump bypassing the “foreign policy establishment,” and pundits are busy clutching pearls over “war powers violations.”
Never mind that Obama, Biden, and Clinton all launched strikes without congressional approval. The same reporters said nothing then.
What the press really can’t stomach is that Trump did what they said was impossible: he ended a war, stopped a nuclear threat, and made it happen without a single American casualty. So now they’re spinning anonymous intel leaks and trying to manufacture outrage.
It’s not journalism—it’s sabotage.
Duffy to Woke Cities: Burn It Down? Pay for It Yourself
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy just laid down the law: if your city cheered on the rioters, don’t come crying for federal cash to fix the wreckage.
In a brutally honest interview, Duffy said the Department of Transportation will not be funding infrastructure repairs in places where officials either encouraged or failed to stop destructive protests. Minneapolis, for example, won’t be getting a dime from DC to fix roads torched during the George Floyd riots. And cities with anti-ICE mobs smashing up streets? They can get in line—right behind nobody.
This is what accountability looks like. For years, blue-state leaders like Tim Walz and Lori Lightfoot let their cities burn in the name of “justice,” while blocking federal efforts to restore order. Now, they want taxpayers from Nebraska and Florida to pay for the cleanup. Not happening.
Duffy’s stance is more than a fiscal decision—it’s a warning shot. If mayors want to virtue signal while criminals run wild, they’d better be ready to foot the bill. Federal grant money isn’t a bailout for woke incompetence. And for once, someone in Washington is saying what the rest of us are thinking: stop rewarding failure.
Biden’s Shadow Handler Bails on Congress as Cover-Up Collapses
The man insiders say was really running the White House just ran from Congress—and it’s not a good look.
Anthony Bernal, Jill Biden’s chief of staff and the so-called “work husband” of the First Lady, abruptly bailed on scheduled testimony before the House Oversight Committee about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. His no-show came right after the White House conveniently waived executive privilege, removing his last excuse. Translation? Bernal has everything to hide.
This isn’t some flunky. According to a Project Veritas bombshell and firsthand witness accounts, Bernal had “enormous power” behind the scenes. Former digital strategy staffer Deterrian Jones even called him “scary.” And now that Congress is closing in on who was actually approving presidential decisions—like that infamous autopen signature fiasco—Bernal is ducking the heat.
Neera Tanden already testified that she barely interacted with Biden himself. Memos were sent to “the circle,” and returned with approvals—no transparency, no confirmation the president even saw them. That’s not a presidency; that’s a puppet show.
The Committee isn’t playing games. Chairman James Comer said a subpoena is on the way. This cover-up is unraveling, and it’s starting to look like Bernal, not Biden, was signing off on major decisions while the commander-in-chief was fading fast. The American people weren’t just misled—they were flat-out lied to.

Thanks for reading and staying in the fight with us. We aren’t here to sugarcoat or play nice—we’re here to tell the damn truth, whether it ruffles feathers or not. Our mission is simple: defend the Republic, expose the liars, and give you the clarity the mainstream media won’t.
The people who tried to kill America’s backbone are now whining that Trump won’t let them rebuild the damage they caused. Tough luck.

P.S.
What’s happening with the media’s meltdown over the Iran strikes should outrage every sane American. JD Vance nailed it—they’re too lazy or too compromised to report what actually happened. And they hate Trump more than they love the truth. Do you think the media’s credibility can ever recover? I want to hear your take. Seriously—email me back.

But, of course, the facilities weren’t destroyed. Video clearly shows them being evacuated days before the strikes. And there is no evidence of radiation leakage.
The air strikes were just another humiliating failure for the USAF.
