Powerful Week 59 was a formal act of America asserting its power as Leader of the Free World and owning it. The War on Iran took center stage this week and President Trump was not playing games. The State Department wants to make it clear that anyone wanting to leave the Middle East to call the State Department at +1-202-501-4444.

But America kept honoring our service members, shored up alliances against the cartels in our home region, President Trump held a Bilateral Meeting with German Chancellor Merz and more progress toward peace between Russia and Ukraine with a 500 prisoner exchange. Memphis keeps getting safer through the efforts of the Memphis Safe Task Force, and President Trump took a bite out of crime by signing an order to combat cybercrime and fraud by enacting a tool to stop foreign-backed networks from exploiting Americans through cyber enabled fraud and extortion. Offshore robo-call centers are being investigated by the FCC now.
Medical Schools will now be delivering nutritional education to help fight chronic disease. President Trump had the Major League Soccer Champions in the Oval, and held a Roundtable to save College Football. Japan’s beautiful gift of 250 Cherry Blossom trees will be in peak bloom from 3/29 to 4/1 in our Nation’s Capital. First Lady Melania Trump chaired the UN Security Council Meeting with the topic of protecting children all over the world and making digital world safe for them while utilizing it for their optimal education.
Even though they scream in appropriate behavior on others, Congress voted down a bill sponsored by Rep Nancy Mace to make the Ethics Committee reports on their s*xual misconduct available to the public. It was a 357-65 vote. But they did vote to re-open the government and fully fund DHS. Homeland Security Secretary Noem is stepping down and moving to the new protection of the Western Hemisphere, the Shield of the Americas. President Trump named Senator Markwayne Mullin to head up DHS in her place. She is being thanked for doing a great job on achieving border security.
President Trump is not going to allow Iran to lie and stall. Their nuclear and long-range missile capabilities must be terminated. He says Iran will be hit very hard today. President Trump has made it clear, Iran’s ability to harm anyone is being decimated.

All those wishing to leave the Middle East, call the State Department at +1-202-501-4444

03042026 White House Press Conference with Karoline Leavitt
- Spain is now willing to cooperate with the U.S. military after President Trump said Madrid had indicated Washington could not use certain Spanish bases in support of Operation Epic Fury. “With respect to Spain, I think they heard the president’s message yesterday loud and clear. And it’s my understanding, over the past several hours, they’ve agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military… The president expects all of our European allies, of course, to, cooperate in this long sought after mission.”
- The President and his cabinet are focused on the success of Operation Epic Fury
- Regime change is not an explicit goal, that is up to the Iranian people.
- No U.S. strikes on civilians.
- Under President Trump’s leadership, the “rogue Iranian terrorist regime is being absolutely crushed” after 47 years of tolerance, with U.S. and allied actions permanently extinguishing Iran’s nuclear ambitions and annihilating much of its Navy.
OPERATION EPIC FURY
03022026 Department of War Operation Epic Fury Press Conference
- Now 57 hours into the operation.
- The Objective: “Destroy Iranian offensive missiles, destroy Iranian missile production, destroy their navy and other security infrastructure, and they will never have nuclear weapons.” (SecWar)
- SecWar: “We Didn’t start this war, but under President Trump we are finishing it.”
- SecWar: “Their war on Americans has become our retribution against their ayatollah and his death cult. It took the 47TH PRESIDENT, a fighter who ALWAYS puts America first to finally draw the line after 47 years of Iranian belligerence.”
- SecWar: “Negotiators bent over backwards for real diplomacy, offering pathway after pathway to peace… They tried over and over and over again, earnest attempts at peace… But Tehran was not negotiating; they were stalling.”
- SecWar: “We hope the Iranian people take advantage of this incredible opportunity. President Trump has been clear: NOW IS YOUR TIME. To Iranian security forces, choose wisely — President Trump has also been clear about your fate in either direction. To the media outlets and the political Left screaming ‘endless war’—stop. This is not Iraq. This is not endless. I was there for both.”
- General Caine: “At 15:38 (3:38 PM), on Friday, February 27, CENTCOM, through the SecWar, received the final go order from President Trump. The President directed, and I quote, ‘Operation Epic Fury is approved. No aborts. Good luck.'”
- General Caine: “Across every domain — land, air, sea, cyber, the U.S. joint force delivered synchronized and layered effects designed to disrupt, degrade, deny, and destroy Iran’s ability to conduct and sustain combat operations.”
- General Caine: “Our mission is to protect and defend ourselves and, together with our regional partners, prevent Iran from projecting power outside its borders, and to be ready for follow-on actions as appropriate.”
- General Caine: “I wish that every American could hear the communications on how calm, cool, and collected our servicemembers are under fire.”
- High marks for the professionalism of the Joint Force. Your Joint Force means

03022026 Bilateral Meeting with Chancellor of Germany Merz at the White House
- President Trump says that he felt Iran was going to attack first and so he forced their hand. Based on the way the negotiation was going, I think Iran was going to attack first, and I didn’t want that to happen so if anything, I might’ve forced Israel’s hand.”
- They started hitting civilian places in countries that had nothing to do with this- that is the level of evil we are dealing with (Iran).
- At some point, they stop lobbing missiles because we are knocking out their ability to do so.
- Many in Europe have been helpful. Mark Rutte had been great.
- Spain has been terrible. They have been unfriendly and uncooperative. They will not go up to pay 5% for NATO, they are staying at 2% and they are not paying that. As a result, POTUS says that we will end trade relations with them. Institute an embargo on Spain.

- The Biden Administration let in more than 190,000 unvetted Afghan nationals into our country during Operation Allies Welcome, many of them military-aged men.
- Under President Trump, we have instituted a comprehensive vetting process for aliens. DHS is requiring the country of origin to cross-reference biometric data and criminal history, expanding our vetting to include social media screening, and directing individuals to check-in every year.
- 65 to 70% of illegal aliens are here with criminal records on top of being here illegally
- The Biden regime was paying child traffickers to sponsor unaccompanied minors coming across the border. “The government paid individuals who knowingly trafficked them and abused them. That has stopped.”
- Senator Katie Britt recounts stories of DHS officers sleeping in cars, selling plasma, and taking on second jobs during the Democrat shutdown. A DHS employee had to borrow money to pay for his wife’s cancer treatment. The Democrats have brought tremendous suffering to the heroic men and women of DHS.
- Senator Josh Hawley wants all CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) removed from the internet and the criminals held responsible. He is working on legislation and he will work on funding for trained people to identify the criminals and hold them accountable.

03042026 Day 2 Secretary Kristi Noem Testifies at House Judiciary Oversight Hearing of DHS
Senator Markwayne Mullin to Replace Kristi Noem for Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem will leave DHS, effective March 31, 2026, and will transition to a new role as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. A new security initiative focused on the Western Hemisphere. Announcement of this is planned for Saturday in Doral, Florida. Trump praised her service at DHS, particularly on border security, while nominating Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to replace her as DHS Secretary (Mullin will need Senate confirmation).

Kristi Noem is recognized for her work in creating the most secure Border in history, while working to find over 145,000 of the Missing Children that were smuggled in through Biden’s open border. Many rumors circulate about the reason for the change. Markwayne Mullin will be a fantastic Heal of Homeland Security. For Kristi, it is a step up. Next for her is:
The Shield of the Americas

The Shield of the Americas advances the protection of the Western Hemisphere as referenced in the NSS National Security Strategy. See my post on the new NSS here.

From the NSS: “Our goals for the Western Hemisphere can be summarized as “Enlist and Expand.”
We will enlist established friends in the Hemisphere to control migration, stop drug
flows, and strengthen stability and security on land and sea. We will expand by
cultivating and strengthening new partners while bolstering our own nation’s
appeal as the Hemisphere’s economic and security partner of choice.”
“The United States must reconsider our military presence in the Western
Hemisphere. This means four obvious things:
- A readjustment of our global military presence to address urgent threats in
our Hemisphere, especially the missions identified in this strategy, and away
from theaters whose relative import to American national security has
declined in recent decades or years; - A more suitable Coast Guard and Navy presence to control sea lanes, to
thwart illegal and other unwanted migration, to reduce human and drug
trafficking, and to control key transit routes in a crisis; - Targeted deployments to secure the border and defeat cartels, including
where necessary the use of lethal force to replace the failed law
enforcement-only strategy of the last several decades; and - Establishing or expanding access in strategically important locations.
The United States will prioritize commercial diplomacy, to strengthen our own
economy and industries, using tariffs and reciprocal trade agreements as powerful
tools. The goal is for our partner nations to build up their domestic economies,
while an economically stronger and more sophisticated Western Hemisphere
becomes an increasingly attractive market for American commerce and investment.”

- Major tech companies—including Google, Microsoft, Meta, Oracle, xAI, OpenAI, and Amazon—sign the pledge to commit to covering the full costs of electricity generation, infrastructure upgrades, and power delivery needed for their energy-intensive AI data centers, rather than passing those expenses onto American households and ratepayers through higher utility bills.
- The pledge aims to protect consumers from rising electricity prices driven by the AI boom, while encouraging companies to build, buy, or bring new dedicated power resources and hire/train local workers in affected communities.
- Upgrade power delivery infrastructure for the next phase of technology
