THE KING RALPH SCENARIO: Israel will target ‘every successor’ appointed by Iran’s Islamic regime, IDF warns. “We want to tell you that the hand of the State of Israel will continue to pursue every successor and every person who seeks to appoint a successor. We warn all those who intend to participate in the successor selection meeting that we will not hesitate to target you, either. This is a warning!”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Freedom Fever Is Catching, and Cuba Might Get It Next. “If hope is indeed growing in the island communist cesspool, it could very well be the X factor that has been missing all of these decades. OK, President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have a lot to do with everything, but hope can be so powerful when people who have been oppressed for far too long finally hit a liberation tipping point.”

“AMERICA AND PUBLIC DISORDER”:

We don't have public restrooms because they'd be trashed in days.

We don't build bus stops because they'd become homeless shelters.

We don't have dense walkable cities because nobody wants to be accosted by strangers.

This is because we have chosen to accept public disorder,… pic.twitter.com/9o8YnMOPLA

YES: Energy secretary predicts rising oil prices due to Iran conflict will be temporary.

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday that a recent rise in gasoline and energy prices tied to the escalating conflict with Iran is temporary, stressing that markets are reacting more to fear of a prolonged war than to an actual shortage of supply.

Wright made the comments during an interview on CBS’ Face the Nation.

“What you’re seeing is emotional reactions and fear that this is a long-term war,” Wright said.

“We have a temporary period of elevated energy prices, but it will not be long,” he also said.

The world is awash in the stuff. It’s just that some of it is stuck in the Gulf.

CHANGE: French President Emmanuel Macron announced the extension of France’s nuclear deterrent to eight European nations, alongside the expansion of France’s nuclear warhead stockpile. “Macron laid out that nuclear-capable Rafale B fighters would be spread out across Europe on temporary deployments as an “archipelago of forces” that would complicate the decision making of any nation wanting to use extreme force against France or its allies. Alongside these deployments, allies will also be invited to take part in French nuclear exercises, in a similar manner to NATO’s Conventional Support to Nuclear Operations programme.”

Not many people had “French nuclear umbrella” on their 2026 bingo card.

THANKS, FELLAS:

Ukraine is now sending help to the Persian Gulf, aiding Gulf states and the U.S. to protect their military bases from Iranian suicide drones with cheap Ukrainian interceptor drones:

Not that you’d fire a Patriot at a Shahed…

I DID NOTICE:

By the way if you've noticed far less Gaza propaganda in your feed it's not because Iran knocked Gaza off the front page. It's because Iran is what kept it there. Now that their cyber command has been smashed, so too has a global propaganda exercise.

PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, ARKANSAS STYLE: Hero Dad Wins Arkansas Sheriff Primary Election While Awaiting Murder Trial.

Picture this: A sleazy 67-year-old creep named Michael Fosler sneaked around Spencer’s home, lured Mr. Spencer’s young daughter from her bedroom with unknown promises, and bolted away in his dusty pickup truck.

Spencer sensed that something was amiss. He looked into his daughter’s bedroom and saw that she was gone. Dad heard Fosler’s truck leaving with some urgency. Spencer wasn’t going to wait for the cops to finish their donuts to respond. He grabbed his gun and tok off in hot pursuit.

Minutes later, Spencer caught up to the child molester’s truck like he was Liam Neesom in Taken.

After Spencer forced the perv’s pickup off the road, words flew. An “altercation” ensued and…boom. Spencer plugged the creep ceasing any respiratory activity and rescuing his little girl from what could’ve been a lifetime of nightmares.

Heroic? Hell yes. But the local prosecutor decided he can’t just let a heroic dad “get away” with doing the right thing. He slapped Spencer with a murder charge. Because, you know, the justice system gonna justice.

Fuming, but far from finished, Spencer flipped the script, saying, in effect, “Screw this broken machine — I’ll fix it myself.”

Awesome. But he still needs to be found Not Guilty when the case goes to trial this spring to run in the general election.

HMM: GOP’s Bruce Blakeman Narrows Gap With Kathy Hochul in New York Race. “New York, long viewed as one of the most Democratic states in the nation, has become increasingly competitive over the last few years. Hochul faced a closer-than-expected race in 2022, and former Vice President Kamala Harris underperformed past Democratic presidential candidates against President Donald Trump in 2024.”

Democrats keep pushing the boundaries with terrible candidates, but blue state voters keep going for them.

IT’S FLORIDA MAN FRIDAY [VIP]: Finally, Another Stolen Ambulance. “It’s time for your much-needed break from the serious news, and this week, we’ll learn why you should wait for the paramedics to finish up, how ‘pickleball brawl’ entered the vernacular, and the worst time to pull off a robbery in Texas.”

LAUGHING WOLF HAS THOUGHTS ON DECAPITATION STRIKES: Surprise, Response.

The thirty-minute window was predicated on detecting Soviet missiles being launched. Flight time from there to here is roughly thirty minutes. If we saw them fueling (Soviets/Russians use a lot of liquid-fueled ICBMs), longer period for response. That was sufficient: thirty or forty years ago.

Even twenty years ago, depressed trajectory shots from subs not too far off the coast cut that time from detection to impact to about fifteen minutes. The assurances the subs couldn’t get that close, and would be detected if they did, were deafening, though reminding me a bit of toddlers drumming their feet and yelling while having their fingers in their ears.

Today, we have massive container ships plying the waters of our country. If I can figure how to put one or more land-attack cruise missiles into a container for launch, I guarantee you others have as well. When you look at more modern drones, boy howdy are you talking the ability to get things in the air and to target with little or no detection. Iran has the capability (or did) and China has been openly experimenting with it. For all the open, think iceberg and know others have as well, a lot of others.

We lost our sense of seriousness about these things during the Clinton administration, and never fully got it back.

ROBERT SPENCER: UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason? “Given that these claims about the health of well-known and beloved dog breeds are so implausible, what else could be going on here? Well, Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) recently landed himself in hot water when he posted this on X: ‘If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.’ Could it be that Muslims in Britain are forcing exactly this choice, or that Britain’s far-left Labour government is trying to ensure that the country’s growing and restive Muslim population continues to vote for Labour en masse?”

IT’S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO IMAGINE:

Jimmy Lai is one of the most notable Catholic martyrs alive in the world today. Can anyone imagine the Great Pope John Paul2 keeping silent about such an obvious example of Communist repression? As St Thomas More said, "Silence gives consent." https://t.co/Zd04hALio6

I guess that means there’s no one to accept Trump’s “unconditional surrender,” and the campaign will continue.
