BREAKING: 52 MISSILES. ZERO IMPACT.
Read that again.
Fifty-two coordinated Iranian missiles launched at a United States Navy Carrier Strike Group.
And they didn’t scratch the USS Abraham Lincoln.
While an E-2D Hawkeye circled high above the Gulf of Oman… watching… scanning… calculating… the entire salvo was detected in its boost phase.
Under 40 seconds to classify the threats.
Link 16 firing assignments transmitted.
Aegis systems locked.
Arleigh Burke destroyers engaged.
Eight minutes later?
Every. Single. Missile. Gone.
This is what American engineering looks like.
This is what discipline looks like.
This is what generations of sailors, radar techs, pilots, and fire control officers look like when it all works together.
You don’t see panic.
You see precision.
Iran fired everything they had in that window.
Anti-ship ballistic missiles.
Medium-range ballistic missiles.
Anti-radar missiles designed specifically to blind us.
And the shield held.
Not because of luck.
Not because of headlines.
Because of training.
Because of layered defense.
Because the United States Navy does not improvise under pressure.
While some talk… our sailors stand watch.
While propaganda claims “successful hits”… American steel remains afloat.
This is not chest-thumping.
This is gratitude. Thank you Jesus!
Gratitude for the young man at a console tracking inbound objects at Mach speed.
For the Hawkeye crew circling in the dark.
For the destroyer crews who executed flawlessly.
For the families at home who carry the quiet burden of service.
Fifty-two missiles.
Zero impact.
That’s not arrogance.
That’s readiness.

Overnight, on President Trump’s orders, the Department of War commenced OPERATION EPIC FURY — the most lethal, most complex, and most-precision aerial operation in history.
The Iranian regime had their chance, yet refused to make a deal — and now they are suffering the consequences. For almost fifty years, Iran has targeted and killed Americans, always seeking the world’s most powerful weapons to further their radical cause. Last night, unlike any previous president, President Trump began dealing with this cancer.
We will not tolerate powerful missiles targeting the American people. Those missiles will be destroyed, along with Iran’s missile production. The Iranian navy will be destroyed. And, as President Trump has said his entire life, Iran will never have a nuclear weapon.
The United States did not start this conflict, but we will finish it. If you kill or threaten Americans anywhere in the world — as Iran has — then we will hunt you down, and we will kill you.
Our warriors are the best in the world, and they are fully unleashed to achieve our objectives. May God’s providence protect them in this vital mission.
To say I’m disappointed in the joint statement by leaders from France, Germany and the UK regarding Operation Epic Fury is an understatement.
It is so sad to see western democracies lose their passion for justice and a sense of right and wrong the further away from their shores the event occurs. Everyone in Europe is rightly impassioned about Russia invading Ukraine. But when it comes to the long suffering people of Iran, Europe has been pathetic.
To the leaders of France, Germany and the UK: the Iranian people are not wrong to demand the end to their oppression from the bloodthirsty ayatollah’s regime that has American and European blood on their hands. You collectively are the ones that are wrong by refusing to come to the Iranian people’s aid and adding insult to injury, you’re suggesting we should continue to negotiate with religious Nazis. It is pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen.
To the Iranian people: President Trump heard your cries. Help has arrived in large measure.
To our European allies: you have gone pathetically soft and lost your zeal for confronting evil apparently unless it’s on your front porch.
So sad.

Myron Gaines, one of the hosts of the Fit and Fresh Podcast, is known for spreading vile antisemitism and misogyny to his more than 1.5 million subscribers. In one his latest episodes, he asked a group of young Americans for their thoughts on Hitler.
Their answers and comments are beyond shocking. But what isn’t shocking is that Gaines did nothing to intervene. In fact, he reveled in it, egged it on, and often nodded in agreement.
Platforming such extreme hatred and misinformation is irresponsible and disgusting – and it’s not ok.
@GavinNewsom Government has a fundamental responsibility for safety of its people.
You betrayed the citizens of California where addiction, homelessness and lawlessness now abounds.
@crb0712@CBHeresy Tucker somehow pulls of arrogance while being a passive / aggressive soy boy. Gotcha questions like the population of Iran, chapter and verse of the Bible for supporting Israel, etc. He’s not asking questions to understand. It’s all about likes for Tucker.
@SenAmyKlobuchar@SenAlexPadilla Barging in, demanding the spotlight, and claiming to be a victim. The arrogance screams privilege. Any other citizen would have been arrested and charged. You all think you’re Kings!
@RepJasonCrow Barging in, demanding the spotlight, and claiming to be a victim. The arrogance screams privilege. Any other citizen would have been arrested and charged. Now you think this is his job?
No wonder you got smoked in November.

1. If you're leaving your house because you have to work, just be careful. If you're leaving your house for a mango rhubarb slushee, first of all, gross, second of all, you don't need it.
Gaetz must be the worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history. This is something that falls well outside the proper scope of deference to a President nominating members of his senior team. Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn't have character or the civic virtue the Founding Fathers wanted. The Republican party should oppose this nomination. https://t.co/c8201SO0E1
@markalfordkc We’ll have the House, Senate, and the Presidency. It’s time Republicans take a long look in the mirror and commit to a true conservative agenda that reduces debt, government, a division amongst its people.
