President Trump issued a powerful statement regarding the situation in Iran after Israel has conducted numerous airstrikes targeting the Iranian regime’s military assets, stating that &#8220;we&#8221; now control the skies over Iran.
“We now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran had good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to American made, conceived, and manufactured ‘stuff.’ Nobody does it better than the good ol’ USA,” Trump stated on Truth Social.
The use of the term &#8220;we&#8221; caught the eye of many, given questions over whether the United States will increase its involvement in the campaign to eliminate Iran&#8217;s nuclear capabilities. Trump has stepped up his rhetoric aimed at Iran in the last 24 hours, and followed up his statement with threats aimed at Iran&#8217;s leadership.

Trump has been a staunch ally of Israel during his time as president. He is reportedly considering entering the conflict more directly, and is convening his top national security aides in the White House Situation Room this afternoon as he works towards a decision.
The U.S. military has bombing capability that exceeds Israels, and may be needed to deliver a crushing blow to Iran&#8217;s underground nuclear facilities.
A poll released on Monday showed that Trump voters <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/poll-of-trump-voters-finds-overwhelming-support-for-u-s-helping-israel-against-iran?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Hank+Berrien&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Trump+Voters+Overwhelmingly+Support+U.S.+Helping+Israel+Against+Iran%2C+Poll+Finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">overwhelmingly back</a> the United States taking action against Iran in support of Israel.

Trump: ‘We Now Have Complete And Total Control Of The Skies Over Iran’

CONTINUE READING

A <a href="https://paragoninstitute.org/private-health/the-greater-obamacare-enrollment-fraud/">new report</a> from an institute whose president coordinated the development of health policies during President Donald Trump&#8217;s first term says millions of people are fraudulently obtaining health insurance subsidized by the federal government.
The Paragon Health Institute is a think-tank whose president, Brian Blase, is determined to root out corruption in the federal healthcare plan. “We don’t just write white papers,” he <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/12/20/conservative-policy-shop-helping-shape-gop-priorities/">stated</a> last December. “We focus on trying to make change.”
“The Biden administration’s attempts to make it easier for people to sign up for insurance through the federal marketplace website also allowed insurance brokers to commit fraud, experts across the political spectrum agree,” The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/06/17/affordable-care-act-obamacare-fraud/">noted</a>, adding, “The report estimates that the income of more than a quarter of the 24 million marketplace enrollees this year was misrepresented, often by brokers, so that the plan would be fully subsidized.”
“We have found that this improper enrollment and fraud surged over the past year—rising by more than one-quarter to now total nearly 6.4 million ineligible recipients,” the report, titled, “The Greater Obamacare Enrollment Fraud: The Fraud Got Much Worse in 2025,” states. “The Biden administration took a host of administrative actions that prioritized higher enrollment numbers over eligibility verification, allowing fraud to grow unchecked.”
The report explains:
<blockquote>
Exchange enrollment fraud is driven by a combination of four factors: (1) the enhanced Obamacare subsidies, enacted as a temporary pandemic-era policy, which fully subsidize plans for people who report income between 100 and 150 percent of the FPL; (2) Biden administration policies that prioritized enrollment over eligibility verification and program integrity; (3) limits on how much the federal government can recover if insurers receive excess advance subsidies because of improper eligibility determinations; and (4) automatic re-enrollment, which perpetuates improper enrollments year after year.
&#8230; the perverse incentives of the system have attracted unscrupulous brokers. These brokers understand how to game Obamacare. They are driving fraudulent enrollments by exploiting the enhanced direct enrollment feature of HealthCare.gov, which allows third parties to enroll consumers without their direct interaction with the exchange.
</blockquote>
In <a href="https://paragoninstitute.org/private-health/the-great-obamacare-enrollment-fraud/">The Great Obamacare Enrollment Fraud</a>, the precursor to the current report, the institute made six recommendations to deal with the fraud it found:
<ol>
<li>Congress should permit the enhanced subsidies to expire after 2025.</li>
<li>Congress should raise subsidy recapture limits to reduce incentives for people to misestimate their income.</li>
<li>Congress or the next administration should limit automatic re-enrollment into exchange plans and end it for people moving from or into fully taxpayer-subsidized plans.</li>
<li>Congress should appropriate cost-sharing reduction payments and prohibit silver-loading.</li>
<li>Congress should conduct aggressive oversight of the Biden administration’s management of HealthCare.gov, enhanced direct enrollment, and insurer and broker actions to take advantage of misestimating income.</li>
<li>Congress or the next administration should reverse policies of the Biden administration that enabled such widespread fraudulent enrollment, particularly the continuous open-enrollment period for people who report income below 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level.</li>
</ol>
The current report staunchly supports President Trump’s budget bill, stating, “If the provisions of The One Big Beautiful Bill become law, five of Paragon’s six recommendations from The Great Obamacare Enrollment Fraud would be implemented. &#8230; The remaining reform, and the most important, is for Congress to permit the enhanced subsidies to expire after 2025.”

Millions Of Americans Illegally Getting Subsidized Obamacare: Report

The Senate GOP Conference is touting a poll that found Trump 2024 voters overwhelmingly back the United States providing offensive weapons to help Israel strike Iranian military targets and strongly support Israel’s military actions.
The Gray House poll surveyed 450 Trump voters on June 15-16. Thirty-five percent of voters were 65 or older; 33% were ages 50-64; 26% were 30-49, and 7% were 18-29. Sixty percent were male and 40% were female.
The poll found nearly 80% of Trump voters backed the United States providing the offensive weapons. In addition, the poll found 72% of voters supported the United States taking its own military action targeting Iran to prevent the Iranian regime from developing nuclear weapons. A whopping 80% of voters felt that Iran is a destabilizing force that sponsors terrorism, threatens U.S. allies, and undermines American interests throughout the region; 72% said Iran was a serious threat to the United States’ national security.
According to the poll, Israel’s strikes on Iran are backed by 83% of Trump voters; 86% supported giving Israel defensive weapons to protect itself from Iranian attacks; 91% agreed that the United States should provide Israel with intelligence for the same reason.
Seventy-three percent of voters felt that a diplomatic deal with Iran could be trusted, and it was likely that Iran would attempt to develop nuclear weapons in secret.
On a different issue, 85% of voters supported Israel’s military actions in Gaza following the brutal October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre of more than 1200 Israelis.

President Donald Trump’s record of support for Israel is unmatched by any other president. He has moved the American Embassy to Jerusalem, recognized Israeli sovereignty of the Golan Heights, and brokered the historic Abraham Accords.
Prominent Evangelical Christian leaders from a movement that has staunchly supported Trump over the past decade have praised the president for his unyielding stance on Iran. Dr. Mike Evans, founder of Friends of Zion, told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/evangelical-leaders-praise-trumps-continued-support-israel-amid-war-iran">Fox News Digital</a>, “The Trump strategy is brilliant because he’s giving Iran a way out, but he’s not taking it off the table that the U.S. will bomb Iran. Quite the contrary, he’s made it very clear that if Iran does anything to attack U.S. bases in the Middle East or Americans, they will have hell to pay.”
Pastor John Hagee, founder and chairman of Christians United for Israel, stated in the days preceding the Israeli strikes on Iran, “I do not think President Trump will allow himself to be played by Iranian negotiators or American isolationists. When it&#8217;s all said and done, I believe President Trump is willing to do what it takes to ensure Iran is defanged either by enabling our strongest ally, Israel, to defend itself or otherwise.&#8221;
After the strikes, Hagee added, &#8220;We must stand with Israel today and every day. Iran’s future as an evil force in the Middle East is now in question. Only the people of Iran can take the country back. But Israel has opened the door for them and given the world room to breathe. Now the U.S. must take its seat at the head of the international table and stand alongside the only American ally in the free world willing to do what is necessary to protect the free world.”

Trump Voters Overwhelmingly Support U.S. Helping Israel Against Iran, Poll Finds

A female announcer on Iranian state TV had her anti-Israel rant truncated in a spectacular way when the Israel Defense Forces bombed the area near her studio.
“What you heard was the voice of the invader of the homeland,” the announcer declared. “The voice of the invader against the voice of truth and justice. What you saw was the voice you heard.”
Then, all hell broke loose.

“Israel struck buildings in Tehran belonging to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, or IRIB, Iran&#8217;s state-owned media company, with the blasts seemingly heard live on television hours after the Israeli military said residents and workers in that part of the capital should leave,” The Wall Street Journal <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/israel-iran-attack-news?mod=hp_lead_pos4" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF had targeted “the Iranian regime&#8217;s propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority.”
The incident was reminiscent of one during Israel&#8217;s war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, when a Lebanese reporter, Fadi Boudia — who had been <a target="_blank" href="https://freebeacon.com/israel/watch-hezbollah-reporter-injured-as-bomb-lands-outside-his-home-during-live-tv-hit/" rel="noopener">known</a> to disseminate pro-Hezbollah propaganda — was about to conduct an interview when the IDF struck.

Israel has established clear dominance over Iranian airspace since its initial attacks on June 13, while pointedly trying to avoid civilian casualties.

Iran has indiscriminately launched waves of ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s second, third, and fourth largest cities after Jerusalem: Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Petah Tikvah. Tel Aviv has roughly 475,000 people, Haifa has 290,000. Petah Tikvah has 255,000.

Israeli officials have said they achieved air superiority within 48 hours of the campaign&#8217;s initial attacks.
“The IDF has completely taken control of the airspace over Iran. This is a military fact — first of all,” IDF reserve lieutenant colonel Arie Zaiden <a target="_blank" href="https://global.espreso.tv/military-news-idf-to-expand-military-success-following-airspace-dominance-in-iran-idf-reserve-colonel" rel="noopener">stated</a>.
“Secondly, the IDF, as we are taught at all levels, commanders, officers, and so on: if you are successful, you need to expand on that success. The IDF is expanding on its success. &#8230; The IDF can now operate freely in Iranian airspace. We have enough ammunition. The U.S. gives us strong support. We also have international backing, so the operation continues. It&#8217;s not a victory, but it is clearly a turning point.”

We are confident that these religious groups will finally be able to care for the most vulnerable consistent with their beliefs.”

SCOTUS Gives Victory To Nuns Fighting New York Abortion Mandate

In the midst of Israel’s war with Iran, former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett sent a direct message to the Iranian people, assuring them that Israel is at war with the despotic Islamic regime that has cruelly oppressed them, and that there will never be a better time to &#8220;rise up&#8221; against it than now.
“As the former Prime Minister of Israel, I have a special message to the Iranian people: Your time is now,” Bennett declared in a video that was translated into Persian. “Your time is now to rise up against your cruel dictators. You have a horrible regime, and you’re a good nation. An old, disconnected, corrupt, and egotistical regime, a regime that is cruel and incompetent. This is the time to rise up. We’ve taken out the heads of the military, the heads of the IRGC.”
“If not now, when?” he asked rhetorically. “There won’t be a better time. And I want to tell you something: Israel is not at war with the Iranian people. We’re at war with the regime, with the nuclear program. We respect the Iranian people.”
“Here I am in Bat Yam, the city where roughly 50 to 70 buildings were hit,&#8221; he said. “I know that you guys are being hit. We don’t want to hit civilians; we respect you.”
“Your time is now,” he repeated. “If you act, Israel will stand with you. The world will stand with you. Good luck, and may God bless you.”

Iran, originally known as Persia, is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Its emperor Cyrus the Great, who ruled in the sixth century B.C. and expanded his empire until it was the largest in world history at the time, was one of the most tolerant rulers in history; he is highly respected among the Jewish people for freeing them from the Babylonian Empire and permitting them to return to Israel and Jerusalem and rebuild their sacred Temple.
Prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran had good relations with Israel. But the visceral hatred of Israel and Jews evidenced by the Islamic regime has been clear from the inception of its rule, no better characterized than Iran being the only country in the world that objected to a 2022 United Nations resolution that condemned the denial and distortion of the Holocaust. “The General Assembly adopted the resolution by consensus — meaning it was approved without a country-by-country vote. Only Iran, Israel’s most ardent adversary, objected,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/20/world/americas/united-nations-holocaust-resolution.html">admitted</a>.

Also, the Trump Administration has apparently abandoned plans to give amnesty to illegal aliens who work for farms and hotels, which is great news.
