Israel had planned to strike Iranian nuclear sites as soon as next month but was waved off by Donald Trumpf in recent weeks in favor of negotiating a deal with Tehran to limit its nuclear program, according to press reports. Trumpf claims he made his decision after months of internal debate over whether to pursue diplomacy or support Israel in seeking to set back Iran’s ability to build a bomb, at a time when Iran has been weakened militarily and economically.
Has Donald Trumpf been in office long enough to “internally debating” this issue from his golf resorts?
The Reality

While Benjamin Netanyahu can’t wait to get the US to help him destroy Iran’s infrastructure, Trumpf has another master in the Kremlin. Tehran and Moscow signed a twenty-year cooperation treaty and are economically enmeshed. Iran has been sending Shaheed drones to Russia for three years in its brutal war on Ukraine. As predicted, Donald Trumpf cannot please two masters at the same time, so Vladimir Putin trumps Benjamin Netanyahu on the issue of attacking Iran. For now, Netanyahu will just have to settle for the hardworking American taxpayer wasting billions on obliterating the Shia Houthis, as that won’t affect the Kremlin’s investments or interests in Iran.
‘Attacking Hodeidah is a deliberate act of cruelty by the Trumpf junta.‘

US forces bombed the Ras Isa fuel port in Yemen’s Red Sea province of Hodeidah, targeting the facility with two attacks that killed dozens of civilian workers and paramedics. At least 80 people, including at least five paramedics, were killed, and 150 were wounded. The paramedics were hit by a second US attack on the facility that came after rescue workers had already arrived at the scene to help victims of the first strikes. Targeting medical personnel is a war crime according to the Geneva Convention.
Attacking the starving (Shia) Houthis also pleases (Sunni) Muhammad Bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. But as you will see below, besides killing Houthis, Trumpf makes it up to ‘Bibi’ by doing something else nefarious for him.
An outstanding international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) remain active for Benjamin Netanyahu. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Columbia University Dean of SIPA Former IDF Intelligence Officer

Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, is a former IDF intelligence officer and an official at Israel’s UN Mission in NYC. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public hysteria about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus during Israel’s Nakba against the Palestinians in 2023 and 2024. Dr Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the extensive nationwide crackdown on civil liberties and ICE detentions, including Mahmoud Khalil.
Pro-Israel billionaires and oligarchs have donated $100 million to Columbia University and they are getting their money’s worth.
The Trumpf junta is also appointing anti-Palestinian politicians to national security positions. As a nod to Benjamin Netanyahu and AIPAC, Trumpf nominated Israeli-born Yehuda Kaploun as the United States Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Ambassador-at-Large. And joining the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HRAC) are Fox News contributor Mark Levin and South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R). DHS will now be screening alien’s social media activity for antisemitism.
Now we know why Dotard Trumpf mistakenly called called General H.R. McMaster– he meant to call Governor H.R. McMaster (see last post).
Yehuda Kaploun and his wife with ethnic cleanser Dotard Trumpf.
Israel is erasing any vestiges of the Palestinians, similar to the 19th-century genocide of the indigenous peoples of the New World, and the Trumpf junta is aiding and abetting this atrocity full steam ahead. What land will be left for the Palestinians and how many of them will be left after four years of Netanyahu and Trumpf pummeling them?
Another horrific example of Israel’s punishing cruelty is the late Fatima Hassouna (25).

Since Sep 2000 and by a factor of 20:1, at least 62,688 Palestinians have been killed compared to 2,916 Israelis. 54 Israelis are being held prisoner by Palestinians, while 10,128 Palestinians are currently imprisoned by Israel. This brutal extermination is all subsidized by the hardworking American taxpayer, as well as the taxpayers of other countries that send military and economic aid to Israel.

US National Security Council To Be Staffed By MAGA Cultists
The White House is starting to rebuild the NSC with aides that are staunchly aligned with Trumpf’s Make America Great Again agenda. Derek Harvey, a military intelligence analyst and retired US Army colonel, is expected to be named senior director for intelligence.
“Always, we’re letting go of people,” Trumpf told reporters about the firings of aides to National Security Adviser Mike Waltz in the wake of the Signal group chat controversy. “People that we don’t like, or people that we don’t think can do the job, or people that may have loyalties to somebody else.”
The man selected to lead the National Counter Terrorism Center (NCTC) is a former CIA officer associated with white supremacist paramilitary organizations. DNI nominated Joe Kent, a failed Republican politician who never won a race, to lead this important position.

Followers of the Watch, Coriolanus is proud to have personally worked with a genuine analyst decades ago who would later go on to lead the NCTC, Ms. Christy Abizaid:
Former D/NCTC Christy Abizaid.
Purges continue in the US government and Coriolanus is doing his best to provide you the more interesting or impactful cases, like this vignette below, involving the manifestly underqualified USSECSTATE Marco Rubio.
6 Jan terrorist Peter Marocco, the Trumpf junta apparatchik in charge of dismantling USAID, left a meeting at the White House last week to return to his office at the State Department. But when he arrived, Marocco could not enter the building: security told him he was no longer an employee there. Word of Marocco’s firing quickly tore through the GOP and MAGA ecosystem, startling Trumpf’s loyalists who viewed the aide as part of an elite cohort of administration true believers. Loud voices on the right piled on Marco Rubella, accusing him of undermining their disruptive agenda. Rubella has also differed with Trumpf regarding Ukraine and Russia.
Just as the Third Reich cowardly eliminated their enemies, so does the Trumpf junta by not addressing the victims to their face. Employees are terminated by email or surprise, like Peter Marocco, who deserved his fate.
The NSC will undergo a dramatic Islamophobic and anti-NATO realignment, rife with faulty analysis and bellicose policy decisions– an AIPAC dream come true. When Democrats return to power, they should immediately rescind the over-abused POTUS Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF). The damage this right-wing NSC will cause will take years for Democrats to repair while Ukrainians suffer and the Palestinian population and their lands will be further reduced.

Ukraine-Russia Update

1) After ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin announced an ‘Easter ceasefire’ with Kiev, Russian forces carried out 387 attacks and 19 assaults. Ukrainian casualty counts are still being tabulated. 2) China is supplying weapons to Russia, including gunpowder and artillery, and Chinese representatives are involved in weapons production on Russian territory, Ukraine’s president President Volodomir Zelensky announced. 3) Fascist Viktor Orban of Hungary is urging countries against Ukraine’s ascension into the EU. The Putin acolyte vowed not to let Brussels “force” Budapest to accept Kiev’s EU membership, lying that Ukraine’s entry would harm Hungary’s economy. 4) A prisoner exchange with the Kremlin returned 277 Ukrainian POWs and 246 Russian EPWs. Most of the Ukrainians had been held in captivity for nearly three years. The Russian EPWs were most likely not undernourished like the Ukrainian POWs. 5) Christopher Smith is expected to become the US Ambassador to Ukraine. From 2022-23 he served as deputy chief of mission in Kiev. Bio: 2021-2025.state.gov
Trumpf’s Ukraine ceasefire is slipping away, a war he promised his supporters and the world that he would end within a day.
Russians Celebrate Trumpf Serving Russia’s Interests
Dotard Trumpf is a “Soviet leaders’ dream” according to a leading Russian scholar. Writing in a weekly Russian newspaper, the scholar praised the actions of Trumpf for “driving a wedge” between the US and “the European part of NATO.” Other Russian news outlets echoed these sentiments. Moskovsky Komsomolets described the actions of Trumpf as “destroying the world created by American liberals.” In another newspaper, Russian Duma Senator Alexei Pushkov wrote: “None of the steps Trumpf has taken threatens Russia’s interests directly.”
The Economist was much more charitable in their assessment of Trumpf:
“The American president increasingly looks like Russia’s willing dupe.”

Ex-NYPD Sergeant Sentenced as Illegal Agent for China

A former NYPD sergeant was sentenced to 1-1/2 years in prison for acting as an illegal Chinese agent. Michael McMahon (57) was hired as a private investigator to surveil a New Jersey resident as part of a global campaign by Chinese law enforcement to repatriate alleged criminals living abroad, known as Operation Fox Hunt. Two of McMahon’s co-defendants were similarly sentenced. McMahon said he thought he was working for a company seeking to recover embezzled funds, and would not have taken the job if he knew the Chinese government was behind it. “I was unwittingly used,” McMahon testified.
China Monitors Its Citizens Worldwide
An NYPD officer with McMahon’s experience should have known better, as he’s not operating in a vacuum of knowledge about China and their oppressive system. Retired NYPD officers enjoy a healthy pension, pistol permits, and access to a tremendous network of gumshoes and security companies in the Big Apple, which McMahon flushed away.

Powerful Explosion at Northrop Grumman’s Utah Rocket Facility
A powerful explosion destroyed part of Northrop Grumman’s solid rocket motor production facility in Promontory, UT. Unbelievably, no serious injuries resulted from the blast which sent shockwaves through the surrounding area. The facility, known as “Rocket Ranch,” is a cornerstone of the US solid rocket motor (SRM) production capability and plays a central role in some of the nation’s most critical defense and space programs. An investigation and safety review are underway.

Canadian TV Show Mocks Trumpf Mercilessly
Trumpf’s future autobiography: Gulags and Golf: How I Destroyed America While Enjoying the Links
Trumpf has been in office three months and he has a 43% approval and 55% disapproval rating. Nearly 70% of CEOs disapprove of Trumpf’s tariffs, including oligarch Felon Musk. Trumpf was already named the worst president of all time (Joe Biden was ranked 14th greatest).
‘President Plane Crash’ Meme for Trumpf Mostly True
During the National Prayer Breakfast at the US Capitol, Trumpf mentioned the aviation disaster in which 67 people lost their lives after an American Airlines flight collided with a Black Hawk US Army Helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport — and compared the odds of a helicopter and plane colliding to golf balls striking one another on a golf driving range:
“I guess the helicopter was high, and we will find out exactly what happened,” he said. “But the odds even if you had nothing, nobody, the odds of that happening are extremely small. You go to a driving range in golf and hit hundreds of balls, thousands of hours.”
He added, “I’ve never seen a ball hit another ball. … Balls going up all over the place, you never see them hit. It was amazing that could happen. There were a lot of mistakes made. It should’ve never happened.”
Besides this imbecilic comparison of an aviation tragedy to hitting golf balls, Trumpf and Felon Musk’s DOGE team began slashing the federal budget, including the FAA. Concern grew that American aviation would become unsafe. After another plane crash occurred shortly after the Washington calamity and the budget cuts, the internet meme “President Plane Crash” went viral. Remarkably, the pundits and aviation analysts were correct.
Just over 100 days in, 2025 is already the deadliest year for US aviation since 2001. Fear of flying has spiked with 29% Americans now thinking it is unsafe to travel by plane. Analysis reveals such concerns are not entirely unfounded. While the 21 accidents recorded up to 10 April are lower than the 24 recorded by this point last year ” the number of aviation fatalities in 2025 exceed that of the past 15 years combined. There have been 83 fatalities on civilian airliners in the US so far this year, making up 63% of the global total of 131. And this is not inclusive of helicopter crashes, so the overall aviation total is even higher. The rate of fatalities per month is, as such, ten times higher in 2025 relative to 2024.

Belize: US Hijacker Shot Dead Aboard Small Passenger Plane
A US man has been shot dead after hijacking a small passenger plane in the Caribbean nation of Belize. Fourteen passengers were on board the aircraft when Akinyela Sawa Taylor took control of the flight at knifepoint. Two passengers were injured, including one who was stabbed in the back.
Taylor ordered the pilot to take him out of the country, but was then shot in the chest by another passenger. The hijacker’s motives are unclear, but Taylor had previously been refused entry into Belize. How Taylor was able to get through its borders is unclear as is how another passenger was able to board the flight with a loaded firearm.
Akinyela Sawa Taylor is allegedly a US military veteran and he could have been suffering from PTSD and/or have been under the influence of drugs.
In another unrelated mystery that was recently solved in Belize, in Feb 2025 three American women were found dead in a beach resort in Belize. Officials first investigated the deaths as possible drug overdoses. Belize police identified the women as Kaoutar Naqqad (23), Imane Mallah (24), and Wafae El-Arar (26), who were staying at the Royal Kahal Beach Resort. Note: Carbon monoxide detectors are not legally required in homes and businesses in Belize, so many hotels and lodgings do not have carbon monoxide detectors. People have suffered adverse effects or died from exposure to carbon monoxide in Belize and indeed, forensic investigators determined in March that was the cause of their tragic and useless deaths.
