SIDE NOTE: THE UNITED STATES HAS MOVED TO DEFCON 4.

Official reports indicate that the US has raised its military alert level to DEFCON 4 – a level of alert indicating high alertness and reinforcement of global intelligence and surveillance systems. This is an unusual step.

Trump is reportedly infuriated with Netanyahu. 🤔

STEVE'S TAKE: IF this is true, I could care less what Trump thinks. He would be wrong to be angry. In fact, I'm angry with him for not being part of the strikes.

This was a very important attack by Israel. It was well executed, & was a long time coming. It was do or die time. They chose do instead of die. So, I for one give Israel a round of applause, for being willing to act when everyone else funded the terrorists and sat on their hands doing nothing pretending peace was a legitimate option with the number one state sponsor of Islamic terror.
