    An Iranian general vowed to respond “decisively and destructively” to any threats from President Trump.

    “We warn our enemies that Iran will respond decisively and destructively if they carry out their threats,” Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told state media following U.S. strikes over the weekend against the Tehran-backed terrorist group, according to Reuters. 

    “We are not a nation to live in hiding. We are a valid and legitimate system in the world. We announce it if we attack anywhere,” Salami was quoted as saying by ABC News. 

    U.S. Central Command said Saturday it had “initiated a series of operations consisting of precision strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets across Yemen to defend American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation.”  

    Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday that he “ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.” 

    “It has been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden,” Trump continued. “The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times.” 

    Trump wrote that the “relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.” 

    “To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!” his post concluded. 

    The large-scale campaign against Houthi targets in Yemen will be “unrelenting” until the Iran-backed proxies pledge to back off U.S. assets, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News on Sunday. 

    Trump said in a post on his Truth Social account that any future attacks would be viewed as having come directly from Tehran:

    Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN. Any further attack or retaliation by the “Houthis” will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there. Iran has played “the innocent victim” of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control. They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, “Intelligence.”

    Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!

    DONALD J. TRUMP,
    PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

    According to the US Treasury Department, Iran launders funds to the Houthi rebels that the group uses to finance strikes against Israel and other US allies.

    Poll Reveals How Likely Trump Verdict Is To Sway Voters

      Nothing can slow Donald Trump down now…

      A recent report found that Trump’s criminal hush money trial is unlikely to deter voters as he awaits a verdict.

      The NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist national poll showed 67% of registered voters nationally wouldn’t be swayed by a guilty verdict against Trump, while 15% said it would make them more likely to vote for him. Another 17% said a guilty verdict would make them less likely to vote for Trump.

       The 12-member jury is currently on day two of deliberations after the prosecution and defense concluded their closing arguments on Tuesday.

      According to the Washington Examiner, among Republicans surveyed in the poll, 25% said a guilty verdict would make them more likely to vote for the former president, while 10% said it would make them less likely to vote for him. Only 7% of Democrats said a guilty verdict would make them more likely to vote for Trump, and 27% said it would make them less likely to vote for Trump.

      Among coveted independent voters, 15% said a guilty verdict would make them more likely to vote for Trump, and 11% said it would make them less likely.

      In contrast, 76% of all voters said a not-guilty verdict wouldn’t affect their votes.

      The best-case scenario for Trump is acquittal however experts have noted outcome is unlikely as it would require all 12 jurors to find him innocent. The most realistic path for the defense is a hung jury, in which at least one juror dissents.

      The former president is expected to appeal if he is found guilty. A conviction would not keep him from running for a second term.

      Former White House Adviser Predicts Trump ‘Going To Prison’ If Democrat Wins White House In 2028

      Could Trump’s legal troubles come back to haunt him?

      President Trump’s former advisor Steve Bannon predicted Thursday that President Trump will go to prison if a Democrat wins back the White House in 2028.

      “God forbid we don’t win in ’28, President Trump is going to prison,” Bannon, who was Trump’s advisor in his first presidency, said Thursday during an appearance on Real America’s Voice.

      “And people are sitting around – still with the glow of November 4th and all the inaugurations and all the balls. We’re at war and things that’ve happened in the last 72 hours, if you don’t understand we’re in political warfare, you’re not awake,” he said, in remarks highlighted by Mediaite.

      Trump’s flurry of executive actions since taking office in January has spurred myriad legal cases. Courts have repeatedly paused actions like mass firings of federal workers and sweeping moves on immigration.

      Bannon did not specify what charges might send Trump to prison. He also warned Democrats would seek to remove Trump from office if they win back the House next year.

      “We are kidding ourselves if we don’t think that Democrats are pulling all stops out to stop President Trump to take the House through any means necessary to impeach Trump,” he said.

      Last year, Special Counsel Jack Smith dismissed his two cases after Trump’s electoral victory, referencing the Department of Justice policy that prohibits prosecuting sitting presidents. A fourth case in Georgia remains technically open, though it is effectively inactive. He was convicted on 34 felony counts in a hush money case in New York.

      Mark Levin Loses It In Livid Monologue On Biden DOJ

      Fox News firebrand Mark Levin fired off some harsh accusations against President Biden’s Department of Justice on Sunday.

      During the latest airing of Life, Liberty, and Levin, the host honed in on the number of leaks that have been made to the media in Trump’s ongoing legal cases.

      “This department is destroying America. It’s destroying the 2024 election. It’s violating every norm, every tradition, everything it inherited to ensure that that department could be trustworthy and could be reliable,” Levin said. “And I want to say this. If we don’t break the back of the Department of Justice, and I will explain what I mean in a moment, it will destroy this country.”

      Levin then begins reading headlines from the New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post about leaks regarding Trump’s legal cases.

      “Who do these leaks help? Do they help Donald Trump? Do they help a single witness? It’s the federal government. It is the Biden Department of Justice. It is the Democrat Party’s Department of Justice that’s interfering in the election.

      “Look at this! You see this?! These are the leaks! From grand juries to witnesses to Mar a Lago to the nature of the classified documents,” Levin adds. “Leak after leak after leak!”

      Levin then claims that the “pattern of leaks” violates Trump’s 5th and 6th Amendment rights as well as contaminates the jury pool in the upcoming cases.

      “All roads go through the Department of Justice. All roads go through Jack Smith‘s office, the special counsel,” Levin screams. “Now the Trump lawyers need to wake the hell up to do something about this.”

      Special Counsel Jack Smith has charged the former President with 47 counts, if convicted Trump could spend the rest of his life in prison.

      Rush Limbaugh’s Widow Reveals Last Way He ‘Tweaked the Media’

        Rush Limbaugh is sticking it to liberals even beyond the grave.

        Kathryn Adams Limbaugh, the widow of conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh confirmed to Glenn Beck that his death certificate reads his occupation as “Radio’s Greatest of All Time.”

        “[It was] another thing we wanted to do in a way to tweak the media as a final goodbye from Rush, which we know he certainly would have loved,” she said. “But someone put that through, ironically.”

        Limbaugh also described her late husband as someone who “was so humble.”

        “He had the biggest heart,” she said. “He was so sincere. He never forgot the little guy.”

        Later in the interview, Beck asked if Sir Elton John, who is known to support Democrats, was aware when he performed at her 2010 wedding that the groom was the conservative radio host. Ms. Limbaugh shared that she belives the two men regardless of their opposite ideological differences were actually very similar.

        “This may be breaking news, but I believe that Sir Elton John and Rush are actually very, very similar. They had quite a similar demeanor off of their performance personality. I believe that they both were so hard-working. They both were at the top of their game, so to speak. They both loved their audience,” Kathryn Limbaugh added. “So in many respects, they were very similar.”

        Rush Limbaugh passed away last February following a battle with lung cancer.

        Report: Pentagon Mulls Deploying Anti-Drone Lasers Near Hegseth, Rubio Homes in DC

        The Pentagon is weighing the deployment of “powerful” anti-drone technology to a Washington, D.C., military installation that houses two top Cabinet officials, according to a report published Tuesday.

        Officials are considering sending a laser-based defense system to Fort Lesley J. McNair, where multiple drones of unknown origin were detected earlier this month, The New York Times reported, citing four people briefed on the discussions. The installation sits less than four miles from the White House and is located within some of the most tightly controlled airspace in the country.

        The proposal, however, faces logistical challenges. The Times noted that deploying such a system over Washington’s high-traffic airspace could complicate efforts, given the risks associated with operating advanced counter-drone technology in a densely populated and heavily regulated flight zone.

        The deliberations follow a series of recent drone incidents that have raised security concerns across multiple U.S. military installations. Earlier this month, unidentified drones were spotted over Fort McNair on at least one night, prompting heightened monitoring and internal discussions about potential responses. The sightings also led officials to consider relocating senior officials who reside at the base, though they ultimately remained in place, according to prior reporting.

        The incidents in Washington are part of a broader pattern of drone activity near sensitive military sites.

        On March 9, personnel at Barksdale Air Force Base in Bossier Parish, Louisiana, were ordered to shelter in place after an unmanned aircraft was observed overhead. Although the order was lifted later that day, additional drone sightings were reported at the base throughout the week.

        Officials have not publicly identified the source of the drones in any of the incidents, and investigations remain ongoing. The recent activity has underscored growing concerns within the Pentagon about the vulnerability of domestic military installations to unmanned aerial systems, particularly as global tensions continue to rise.

        Sheriff Lamb on Border Security: ‘Go Back to the Trump-era Policies’

        Pinal County, AZ Sheriff Mark Lamb attends the Federation for American Immigration Reform's 15th annual "Hold Their Feet To The Fire" media event in Washington, DC.

        The Federation For American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is currently hosting its annual two-day event – “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” – which is a gathering of radio show hosts, members of Congress, dozens of immigration activists, and even a few non-radio media members including your very own American Liberty News – who were invited to attend the event this year. The purpose of the event is to have the tough conversations about immigration that most in the mainstream media refuse to have.

        Sheriff Mark Lamb of Pinal County, Arizona – and of Live PD and 60 Days In fame – was one of this year’s attendees. Pinal County is located between the cities of Phoenix and Tuscon.

        I had the chance to ask Sheriff Lamb a few questions today and get his thoughts on why he had come to Washington this year to share the extreme impacts of illegal immigration that he sees every day back home in Arizona, as well as what Washington can do about it.

        When asked about specific policies Washington could enact to make the lives of Sheriffs like himself easier, Lamb first pinpointed what he sees as “a key problem in this country” – “that we don’t understand the three branches of government anymore. ” Each branch is in place do their job and from the Sheriff’s perspective – that’s not currently happening.

        The number one problem that his officers face every day, Lamb said was Fentanyl, an issue that President Biden and most Washigton, D.C. politicians rarely touch on. Most Fentanyl that comes into the United States makes it through Pinal County, due to the I-10 corridor. Lamb praised the brave officers in his department who are on that interstate every day trying to stop the flow of drugs, as well as humans beings who are also smuggled through his jurisdiction illegally.

        Still, he emphasized that fentanyl is the leading cause of death amongst Americans between the ages of 18 and 45. Last year in Arizona, Lamb told me there were 33 children who died from fentanyl – seven of them were under the age of one.

        When prompted, Lamb said he would welcome a visit from Biden as he could not recall a time when Biden had visited the border – either during his time as President or tenure as Vice President. “I do not agree with these guys at all, but I have respect for the positions of President and Vice President.”

        The Sheriff’s first and foremost request to the Administration is simple, he “would actually like to see them do their job – protect our border, secure it.” The easiest thing they can do is first “go back to the Trump-era policies, as we know those worked.” He said that the Biden Administration should should “start there, and then build from there.” In another effort to highlight the differences between the current Administration and their predecessors, Lamb said that he wants to see partnerships restored between federal agencies and the local agencies. He emphasized a stark difference between the “open line of communication that existed under Trump”, and the lack of communication he experiences now.

        Trump Heads to Situation Room as Iran Deal Decision Appears Imminent

        President Trump signaled Friday that a final decision on a potential agreement with Iran could be just hours away, announcing he was heading to the White House Situation Room to make what he called a “final determination” on a proposed deal that would dramatically reshape U.S.-Iran relations.

        “I will be meeting now, in the Situation Room, to make a final determination,” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post outlining the terms he says Iran must accept before any agreement moves forward.

        The president’s announcement immediately fueled speculation that a major breakthrough could be nearing after months of negotiations following the U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran earlier this year.

        Among Trump’s non-negotiable demands: Iran must permanently abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons.

        “Iran must agree that they will never have a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb,” Trump declared.

        Trump also outlined provisions that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz to unrestricted international shipping, eliminate any remaining naval mines in the waterway, and potentially end the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports.

        “Ships caught in the Strait due to our amazing and unprecedented Naval Blockade, which will now be lifted, may start the process of ‘heading home!’” Trump wrote. “Say HELLO to your wives, husbands, parents, and families from me, your favorite President!”

        Perhaps the most striking element of Trump’s proposal involves Iran’s remaining stockpile of enriched uranium.

        According to the president, the United States would work alongside Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency to excavate and destroy what he described as enriched nuclear material buried beneath mountains damaged during U.S. B-2 bomber strikes nearly a year ago.

        “The enriched material, sometimes referred to as ‘Nuclear Dust,’ … will be unearthed by the United States … and DESTROYED,” Trump wrote, adding that only the U.S. and China possess the capability to carry out such an operation.

        As Fox News reported, it remains unclear whether the removal and destruction of Iran’s enriched uranium is formally included in the draft agreement currently under discussion. The White House confirmed Thursday that negotiations are ongoing, but details of the final arrangement remain unresolved.

        Iranian officials have responded cautiously. The semi-official Fars News Agency characterized Trump’s statements as a “mixture of truth and falsehood” intended to portray a “fabricated victory.”

        Meanwhile, Iranian parliamentary speaker and senior negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf emphasized Friday that Tehran remains skeptical of American assurances.

        “We do not trust guarantees and words, only actions are the criterion,” Qalibaf wrote on X.

        According to reporting from Fox News, the proposed framework would extend the current cease-fire for 60 days while allowing both sides to negotiate remaining disputes surrounding Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief, and regional security concerns.

        Iran has long maintained that its nuclear activities are intended solely for peaceful purposes. Trump, however, has repeatedly argued that any deal must go beyond previous agreements — including President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear accord — by permanently eliminating Iran’s ability to enrich uranium and preventing any future path to a nuclear weapon.

        The president also hinted that economic concessions could be addressed in later negotiations.

        “No money will be exchanged, until further notice,” Trump wrote.

        Trump’s decision to convene in the Situation Room — traditionally reserved for the nation’s most consequential military and national security deliberations — suggests the administration believes a pivotal moment in the negotiations has arrived.

        Whether the talks ultimately produce a historic diplomatic breakthrough or collapse at the finish line may soon be decided behind the secure doors of the White House’s most closely watched room.

        Congress Elects House Speaker

        On Friday, Congressional lawmakers convened to elect the next Speaker of the House.

        Mike Johnson (R-La.) will serve as Speaker of the House for the 119th Congress.

        With the Republican majority at 219-215, Johnson could lose only one Republican vote to remain speaker.

        Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) was reelected to the top post in the House in a stunning floor vote on the opening day of Congress on Friday, securing the gavel on the first ballot.

        It appeared that he would fail on the first ballot as Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Keith Self (R-Texas) voted for other candidates. However, the chamber held the vote open as Johnson conferred with his opponents and Norman and Self switched their votes to applause in the chamber.

        The vote came after President-elect Donald Trump issued his “total” endorsement of Mike Johnson (R-la.) earlier this week.

        “Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

        Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene also offered her endorsement of Johnson shortly before Friday’s vote.

        Watch:

        “Tomorrow we convene at noon in the House of Representatives, and our first order of business will be to vote for Speaker of the House. This is a historic vote, and it is the first order of business that we have to accomplish before we can even swear in as members of Congress,” began Greene. “Now, here’s how I feel about it. You all have seen may disagree with Mike Johnson at times. You’ve seen me fight against him at times. But you want to know something else? Here’s what I recognize: For the past four years, all of you and myself included, have put blood, sweat, and tears into electing President Trump. And when you want to talk about blood, President Trump himself actually was the one that shed blood after an assassin shot him in the face.”

        Trump Bucks Judge With Courtroom Monologue

        In the end, former President Donald Trump spoke to the court from the defense table in his civil fraud trial.

        Trump’s remarks came during closing arguments, which remain ongoing.

        “The facts are the financial statements are perfect, that there are no witnesses against us. The banks got all their money paid back. There were great loans,” Trump maintained, echoing remarks he has previously made in public.

        Trump spoke for approximately five minutes before accusing Judge Arthur Engoron of having his own agenda.

        “I certainly understand that,” the GOP front-runner persisted. “You can’t listen for more than one minute.”

        At that point, Engoron told one of Trump’s lawyers to “control your client.” The judge eventually cut Trump off.

        Engoron ruled on Wednesday that he wouldn’t allow Trump to speak during his attorneys’ closing arguments because he wouldn’t agree to avoid personal attacks.

        NBC News further reports on the unprecedented courtroom display:

        Speaking from the table sitting next to his lawyers, Trump spoke to denying all wrongdoing while Engoron quietly listened.

        Trump maintained that banks “got all their money back” and “they weren’t defrauded” while repeating his call to receive damages “for what we’ve gone through.”

        The former president accused James’ office of not providing one document proving her allegations of inflating his financial statements and argued that the case presents a “situation where I”m an innocent man.”

        “The legal scholars looking at this case find it disgraceful,” he said, adding “this is a fraud on me.”

        James is asking Engoron to fine Trump and his co-defendants over $370 million and impose a lifetime ban on Trump and two former company executives from the New York real estate industry.
