BREAKING: President Trump Speaks Out About Israeli Air Strikes on Iran. “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”
If this goes on another 48 hours, there might not be any leadership left to cut a deal with.

Democrats recently voted to create an entity called Parkland Metropolitan District which won the imminent domain case
The head of the government agency IS THE DEVELOPER WHO WILL PROFIT FROM THIS LAND
“What does it mean to be a private landowner here in Colorado? Well, it means in some rare cases, the government can just come in and take your private land or a portion of it for the public good. I’m talking about eminent domain. I am standing here next to Polizi Farms in Brighton, Colorado. And recently, this farm lost an eminent domain case to an entity called the Parkland Metropolitan District.
This is a quasi government agency that won the rights to take a portion of this farmland right in the middle. And this entity, this district, is going to put a drainage pipe right in the middle of this farm. The farm worries that this drainage pipe is going to mess with their whole operation. It’s going to ruin the drainage of the farm, and then the farm is going to be done. It’s going to be done for the pipe is moving forward.
But what is the Parkland Metropolitan District? It was created very recently after a vote by the Brighton City Council. And guess who used to sit at the very head of this government agency, the chairman of this government agency, the private developer who was going to benefit from this drainage pipe. It’s not a public highway that’s going to be benefiting from it. It’s not a public road.
It’s not a freeway. It’s a private development. How is that for private land ownership in Colorado?”
About what I’ve come to expect, sad to say.
JUST SAY NO TO TERRORIST DOCTORS: Doctors urge Brown not to rehire Hezbollah-supporting physician deported by DHS.
MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Oops!… Mossad Did It Again. “Like so many others, I spent last night glued to the news — here at PJ Media and on X — marveling at the breadth, depth, and mind-blowing precision of Israel’s initial strike on Iran. No surprise here: Mossad and Israeli special forces were the real stars of the show.”
ANOTHER SLOW NEWS DAY: Appeals Court Humiliates Newsom, Restores Trump’s Control of National Guard.
YES:
Newsom's line of argument, advanced often by rich progressives, that we need a caste of illegal labor to do jobs that are too crappy for Americans, is ground zero for how the Democrats lost the working class. My @TheFP column on the LA riots: https://t.co/uCYngYJYAz

The Dems do love their imported servants.
PRO-ACTIVE: Abbott Calls Out National Guard Before Leftists Can Loot. “So why don’t Democratic governors take similar precautions to prevent ‘peaceful protests’ from turning into the usual riot, arson and looting sprees we keep seeing over and over again?”
To ask the question is to answer it.
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Israel Surgically Delivers Multiple Packages of ‘FO’ to Iran. “There are always a lot of moving parts in situations like this. By the time you read this there will probably be a lot more information. I’ll give you a few things here without much commentary from me, then move onto the Mailbag of Magnificence.”
KAROL MARKOWICZ: I’m a legal immigrant — don’t you dare lump me in with border-jumpers. “This should be no surprise: Legal immigrants, who waited their turn and struggled to become Americans, have little in common with those who broke the law to arrive in our country ready for someone to take care of them — and are increasingly angered by politicians who coddle the criminals.”
THE ENEMY WITHIN: PSU professor placed on leave after ‘I am Hamas … we’re all Hamas’ comment.
The professor of Arabic language and literature was placed on leave on Friday, according to a June 6 statement from the university’s President Ann Cudd.
“PSU stands unequivocally against antisemitism, terrorism, and hate of any kind, including the statements made in this video. … The statements made in this video are absolutely unacceptable,” Cudd stated.
“PSU is conducting an investigation of this incident and the faculty member involved has been placed on administrative leave.”
Cudd does not identify the scholar by name but The Oregonian and KOIN Portland both identified her as Professor Yasmeen Hanoosh of the Department of World Languages and Literatures.
She could use an educational trip to Gaza.
ONE OF MY FAVE CABINET MEMBERS OF ALL TIME: Bessent Identifies New Strain Of TDS, Reminds Dems They Lost The Election.. “A higher decibel level does not give your statements more veracity.”
BEWARE:
I don't expect a symmetric retaliation by Iran. Rather the Ayatollahs, now clearly in an existential struggle with Israel, will likely attempt to expand the conflict to the West. The Trump admin may believe Iran has infiltrated the southern US border. Watch this space.

Kurt Schlichter’s The Attack made real?
The threat we face right now inside the US is activated Iranian-allied terror cells.
This is where the Democrat "No Border" policy has created huge risks.
Hundreds of thousands of military aged men made it into the country without any encounter with US immigration personnel.…

Wow, yet another surprise attack against internal strategic targets using smuggled shorter-range drones.

Well, it sucks to be the Mullarchy, anyway. For actual Iranians, it’s a major opportunity.

AN OVERNIGHT WIN FOR TRUMP, AT THE COURT OF APPEALS AND IN THE POLLS:
TODAY – 57% Approve Trump Deploying National Guard in LA
Even while President Donald Trump’s immigration policy remains controversial, most voters support his decision to use the National Guard to stop attacks on federal immigration agents in Los Angeles. https://t.co/oBPqbSiqT7

UPDATE: But a good point from Adrian Vermeule:
If your reaction to this is that “the process is working,” you’re missing the point. Any one of almost 700 district judges might intervene at any time to block anything the President does, even within the core of his Article II powers. The overhang of uncertainty and confusion… https://t.co/l93r1M78qA

In my review of the decision I don't see where Breyer even addressed this issue.
If calling into federal service is a POTUS function, how can he enjoin that decision if he has no jurisdiction over POTUS on separation of powers grounds.
That is black letter law. https://t.co/hhoibH9C2w

TIPPING THE SCALES: Why So Many Cases Against Trump Are Heard by Democrat-Appointed Judges.
To see whether Trump’s adversaries are engaging in forum shopping, RealClearInvestigations analyzed 350 cases brought against the administration. We found that plaintiffs have brought 80% of those cases before just 11 of the nation’s 91 district courts. While Democrat presidents have appointed roughly 60% of all active district court judges, each of the 11 district courts where the anti-Trump challenges have been clustered boasts an even higher percentage of Democrat appointees. In several of these venues, the administration’s challengers are almost guaranteed that a judge picked by Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton will preside over their case.
The analysis of these 350 cases, which covers all those identified in popular litigation trackers and RCI’s independent research as of this week, lends credence to claims that anti-Trump litigants may be strategically filing suit in courts where they are most likely to receive a favorable ruling – a practice that has been both pursued and decried by Democrats and Republicans.
RCI also analyzed three dozen cases in which judges imposed the most extreme restraint on the Trump administration by entering a nationwide or universal injunction – prohibiting the administration from enforcing its policy not only against the party bringing the case, but anyone, everywhere. The analysis shows that these injunctions have disproportionately emerged from Democrat-leaning courts where plaintiffs have brought the lion’s share of suits, and that Democrat-appointed judges are overwhelmingly responsible for ordering them.
The rot runs deep.
