Late on Tuesday evening, it was reported that Iran had retaliated against America by firing ballistic missiles against United States and coalition forces in Baghdad.

And the reports were true. The world’s leading state sponsor of terror officially took credit for the attack. President Trump has consulted his national security team. Here’s what is known…

We are aware of the reports of attacks on US facilities in Iraq. The President has been briefed and is monitoring the situation closely and consulting with his national security team.

From Daily Wire:

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, a designated terrorist organization, released a statement late on Tuesday night claiming responsibility for firing multiple missiles at U.S. troops throughout Iraq.

According to Axios, the IRGC said, “The brave soldiers of IRGC’s aerospace unit have launched a successful attack with tens of ballistic missiles on Al Assad military base in the name of martyr Gen. Qasem Soleimani. … We warn all allied countries of the U.S. that if attacks are launched from bases in their countries on Iran, they will be a target of military retaliation.”

Wait for information. If these are rocket attacks on a US base in Iraq, that's just the latest — a face-saving maneuver that is a continuation of Iran's tactics in Iraq. If it's ballistic missiles coming directly from Iran, that's a true escalation.

This may be a big deal or it may be a symbolic way to launch some intial retaliatory strikes that are easy to execute without that much damage. We need to wait and see

I’ve been thinking today that Iran would start with something easy and fast but not that damaging. The real retaliatory response (or hopefully attempted and failed response) will most likely take time to develop

There's a world where these missiles are a more symbolic shot across the bow from Iran to test the water versus actual strategic strikes meant to cause mass damage. A lot we don't know https://t.co/DeB16r9PcN

So the news is now ranging from big deal to a dud:

Big deal: Iran has fired ballistic missiles into US military bases in Iraq, in clear retaliation to the killing of #QassemSoleimani

A dud: small rockets with lots of media noise.

WATCH (and listen):

OMG! Iran’s regime just announced an $80 million bounty for anyone who brings the head of @realDonaldTrump for killing Soleimani.
PS: Iran’s ppl however are overjoyed at Soleimani’s death. As the #IranProtests have shown, they long for an end to the mullahs’ tyranny #FreeIran2020

2020 isn’t even four days old but actress Rose McGowan may have just dropped the most ridiculous tweet of the year.

According to McGowan, the Trump administration is a “terrorist regime” and the American people are being held hostage while Donald Trump resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

You can’t make this stuff up.

In her heart, Rose probably believes she right.

LOOK:

Dear #Iran, The USA has disrespected your country, your flag, your people. 52% of us humbly apologize. We want peace with your nation. We are being held hostage by a terrorist regime. We do not know how to escape. Please do not kill us. #Soleimani pic.twitter.com/YE54CqGCdr

The citizens of Austin, Texas are on high alert Sunday afternoon after a massacre left at least three people dead with the suspect still at large as of this writing. Law enforcement has identified the suspected killer, and are scouring the city looking for clues. A massive multi-agency manhunt including the FBI and U.S. Marshals is underway in Austin for an armed suspect wanted for killing at least three people near an apartment complex late Sunday morning. Austin police said that the three lifeless bodies were all adults, including two Hispanic females, and one Black male. They said they believe the suspect is Stephen Nicholas Broderick, who is possibly a former law enforcement officer charged with sexual assault of a child last summer. Austin’s KXAN, citing an arrest affidavit, reported last June that the Travis County Sheriff’s Office detective was on administrative leave following an arrest for allegations of sexual assault. Police had some very specific ideas of what could come next in the case. The Austin Police Department said the suspect was still at large as of approximately 2:30 p.m. local time and is considered armed and dangerous. Police have urged everyone nearby to shelter in place and report suspicious activity. “We are concerned he might possibly take a hostage and be himself sheltered somewhere waiting for us to leave,” Interim Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon said during a news conference Sunday afternoon. Police said that the victims were known to Broderick, but did not elaborate any further.

Biden Team Sends Stern Threat to Russia Over Navalny’s Health

This is just the latest escalation in the war of words between these two nations.

While every nation on this planet likely harbors some sort of terrible secret, or some evil underpinnings, no one plays the role of international bad guy quite like Russia does. The enormous nation has no real qualms about the world knowing its business, and Vladimir Putin has held onto power for as long as he as by doing the bare minimum required to keep him from being called a dictator. Beyond that, the nation appears fond of strongman-shenanigans like poisoning and jailing dissident journalists like Alexi Navalny, who is on death’s door in a Russian prison camp. If he dies, US President Joe Biden says that the Kremlin will pay the price. President Joe Biden’s national security adviser warned Sunday that there will be repercussions for Russia if Putin critic Alexei Navalny dies, amid reports that his health is rapidly deteriorating in prison. “We have communicated to the Russian government that what happens to Mr. Navalny in their custody is their responsibility and they will be held accountable by the international community,” Jake Sullivan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” Biden has had a fairly poor relationship with Russia doing his first few months in office, with the two nations issuing not-so-subtle statements and threats in each others’ direction.
