Frantic terrorist MAN HUNT 'begins across America' as terrifying Iranian passport plot to flood the nation with jihadis is uncovered
After President Donald Trump ordered airstrikes to take out three of Iran 's nuclear facilities in late June, defense officials warned that Tehran may have the ability to strike back – from inside the US Homeland. Indeed, the Islamic Republic and its proxy forces in the Middle East, namely Hezbollah and Hamas, have long sought to plant terrorist sleeper agents, poised to activate when called upon, in American communities.

Israeli retired officials write to Donald Trump on war in Gaza
"It is our professional judgement that Hamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel," the officials said. "Your credibility with the vast majority of Israelis augments your ability to steer Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and his government in the right direction: End the war, return the hostages, stop the suffering," they wrote. Their appeal comes amid reports that Netanyahu is pushing to expand military operations in Gaza as indirect ceasefire talks with Hamas have stalled. Having witnessed his mother and father being beaten by the IDF, he runs into the street and throws stones at an IDF tank. If he is not shot but arrested as a Hamas terrorist and imprisoned without any kind of court hearing for years. In a fence so heavily guarded, how did the IDF allow so many Hamas terrorists to drive to the fence, cut their way through, and drive where they committed their atrocities. Finally driving back to Gaza with their hostages without any serious IDF back-up or support, were they told to turn a blind eye or was it a very serious dereliction of duty. Trump will lose any chance of a Nobel Prize, he and Israel could be on the other side of history. Many thanks, Andrew Nutt, Bargoed.

How the Spartans got fighting fit
Donald Trump has brought back the Presidential Fitness Test for American children, once used in state schools to gauge young people's health and athleticism with one-mile runs, sit-ups and stretching exercises. He could usefully add elements of the early training invented by the Spartan lawgiver Lycurgus to create disciplined, physically and mentally resilient soldiers and citizens. Every baby was examined for fitness. They were trained not to fuss about food, or be frightened of the dark when left alone, or to get angry or cry. At seven, they joined bands in which they grew up together while their elders registered their progress in obedience and courage. They were also taught to stay silent rather than drivel on, and if they did talk, to use language clearly and trenchantly (our term 'laconic' derives from Lakôn, 'Spartan'). Famous examples: 'We do not ask how many the enemy are: just where they are.' And to a Persian boasting 'Our arrows will block out the sky': 'Good, we shall fight in the shade.' Girls, while not being formed into the companies, also underwent state-sponsored training that emphasised physical strength and endurance, preparing them for their roles as mothers of warriors. They too learned to express themselves incisively. A girl saw a Milesian having his shoes put on and laced by a slave and said: 'Father, the foreigner hasn't any hands!' Being asked by an Athenian woman 'Why is it that you Spartan women are the only women that lord it over your men?', she said: 'Because we are the only women that are mothers of men.' Another, when her sons had fled from battle back to her, said 'Where have you come from now, you craven slaves? Do you intend to creep back in here, where you came from?', and she pulled up her garment and showed them. Another, as her son was going to war, gave him his shield and said: 'Your father kept this safe for you; do the same, or do not exist.' Another, asked by a man if she would be good if he bought her, said: 'Yes, and if you do not buy me.' Fine lessons in exploiting the potential of language, rather than waving it flabbily about.
