US military conducts airstrikes against Islamic State operatives in Somalia

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military has conducted airstrikes against Islamic State operatives in Somalia, the first attacks in the African nation during President Donald Trump’s second term.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Saturday that the strikes by U.S. Africa Command were directed by Trump and coordinated with Somalia’s government.

An initial assessment by the Pentagon indicated that “multiple” operatives were killed. The Pentagon said it assessed that no civilians were harmed in the strikes.

Trump, in a post on social media, said a senior IS planner and recruits were targeted in the operation.

“The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians. Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!” Trump said. “The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”

Amazing how much news doesn’t make it to the MSM, or if it does will only devote like 30 seconds
to an in-depth news story being reported on the network that shall not be named.

Richard Grenell @RichardGrenell
. @realDonaldTrump is President of the United States, again.

And diplomacy is back.

I’ve spoken to multiple officials in Venezuela today and will begin meetings early tomorrow morning.

Talking is a tactic.
----------------------------------------
Maduro:

Maduro has signaled a willingness to accept deportation flights in exchange for the preservation of oil licenses and increases in crude exports, The Washington Post has reported. Venezuela boasts the world’s largest proven oil reserves, but its industry has been hobbled by U.S.-led sanctions and mismanagement.

Shades of foggy bottom. :)

It made it to MSM. We hit some caves where they hole up and no civilians were hurt. Trump said we killed many terrorists. I don't remember where I heard it, I think I read it, then heard it.

MSM - Main Stream Media. They're convinced MSM doesn't carry stories that they should Both of the stories they are talking about show up on MSM,and even had a link to a statement on X. But there are stories they emphasize that MSM doesn't. I was interested in why the National Defense guy was going to Venezuela during Yubio's trip down there.

We should see part of the reinstated sanctions lifted so Venezuela will take deportees, and there will be announcements when Tren de Aragua deportees are flown home.

It means main stream media.
Key Right-Wing Mainstream Media Outlets:
Fox News: Often cited as the most prominent right-wing mainstream media outlet, Fox News has a significant conservative audience.
Fox Business: Along with Fox News, it has one of the most conservative net-ideology scores.
Newsmax: A Far-right mainstream media outlet, has a significant conservative audience.
The Wall Street Journal: Also owned by Rupert Murdoch. Its editorial page offer more conservative perspectives.

Many studies have shown that people who view right-wing main stream media sources are less informed than people who view other news sources.
A Fairleigh Dickinson University survey found Fox News viewers were less informed about current events than people who didn't follow news at all.
Another study showed that Fox News viewers are less likely to have college degrees compared to MSNBC viewers.

Of course any regular reader of this board already knows all this.

Good luck America, you are gonna need it.

Key language here. Since you watch the all informing conservative media I am sure you do know these strikes have been ongoing during the Biden administration as well... right?

Yep, kudos for Biden. As I recall he also sent a few hundred troops to act as advisors too.
