US Unleashes Epic Fury: A Multi-Domain Push to Dismantle Iran’s Missile and Naval Capabilities

US officials announce Operation Epic Fury against Iran, detailing a dawn-to-dawn, multi-domain campaign aimed at destroying Iran’s missiles, missile production, and navy to prevent nuclear blackmail, with hundreds of targets hit in the first 24 hours and cyber/space support from US allies. The effort emphasizes surgical, overwhelming force, and warns the fight will take time, with possible additional troop movements as battle assessments continue. There are no disclosed boots on the ground yet, though the President has latitude to shape the timeline and force posture; casualties are acknowledged and the operation is described as a broader, America-first campaign rather than a quick war.

"Biden's Unconventional Policy Priorities Spark Laughter and Controversy"

During a White House press briefing, laughter erupted as a reporter asked if President Biden has "full confidence" in the Cookie Monster, following a lighthearted exchange between the White House and the Cookie Monster on Twitter about "shrinkflation." White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized the President's focus on addressing issues such as shrinkflation and inflation, stating that he has been consistently calling on large corporations to pass along their savings to consumers. She also defended the timing of the announcement of a strike force to address inflation, stating that the President has been addressing these issues for some time.

"Reporter Simon Ateba Takes Center Stage at White House Briefing"

Simon Ateba, a reporter for Today News Africa, has gained attention for repeatedly interrupting White House press briefings to demand that he be called on to ask a question. Ateba's behavior has frustrated press officials and the White House Correspondents' Association, but has also made him popular on social media and among right-wing media outlets. However, it remains unclear what specific questions Ateba has been seeking to ask. The White House has proposed rules about "professional" conduct for journalists, which could potentially be used to discipline Ateba. The White House Correspondents' Association declined to renew Ateba's membership, citing a lack of evidence that he is employed by a news outlet that reports on the White House.

Biden's Age and Health Under Scrutiny After Public Falls and On-Stage Stumble

Title 42 chaos at border continues under Biden's new policy.

President Biden remained silent and took no questions from reporters during a bilateral meeting with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez as chaos continues at the southern border following the expiration of Title 42. The Biden administration is facing intense political heat for its handling of the U.S. southern border, even more so with Title 42 no longer in place. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called news of a migrant Honduran teenager's death "deeply saddening" but kept the focus on Friday's press briefing on infrastructure rather than the ongoing border crisis.

Controversy Erupts Over Karine Jean-Pierre's Claim on Illegal Immigration Under Biden

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre became agitated when pressed on her claim that illegal immigration had come down 90% under the Biden administration. She interrupted Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy and accused him of being dramatic. Jean-Pierre was referring to the "parolee program" implemented by the Biden administration earlier this year, which allows 30,000 migrants from certain countries to come to the United States each month. However, CBP numbers show that there were 136,000 more encounters this fiscal year than the previous, making it the highest ever recorded.
