1 crew member rescued after US fighter jet shot down in Iran, officials tell AP

A U.S. fighter jet was shot down in Iran on Friday and one crew member was rescued, officials said, the first aircraft downed since the war began nearly five weeks ago.

It marked a major escalation in the conflict just two days after President Donald Trump said in a national address that the U.S. has “beaten and completely decimated Iran” and was “going to finish the job, and were going to finish it very fast.”

Iran just shot down a U.S. fighter jet, which is astonishing since Trump just told us Iran was obliterated. - Andy Borowitz

The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing.
His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”

This is the same man who called joining Trump’s war “buying cheap tickets for the Titanic after it hit the iceberg.”

The French are not holding back.

A Lot of This Money Will End Up In Trump's & Co.'s Pocket

President Trump is seeking $1.5 trillion in defense spending as part of the White House’s fiscal 2027 budget request, a roughly 40 percent increase from 2026 funding levels.

The proposal released Friday said a base of $1.1 trillion will be specifically for the Department of Defense, while $350 billion will be requested through Congress’s budget reconciliation process for “critical Administration priorities” like more munitions and defense industrial base expansions. It also mentions the president’s planned “Golden Dome” missile defense system.

Fraudster Claims To Look For Fraud

Vice President Vance’s new role as fraud czar will “primarily” focus on Democrat-led states, President Trump announced Friday morning.

“We will call him the ‘FRAUD CZAR,’ and his focus will be ‘EVERYWHERE,’ but primarily in those Blue States where CROOKED DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS, like those in California, Illinois, Minnesota (Somalia beware!), Maine, New York, and many others, have had a ‘free for all’ in the unprecedented theft of Taxpayer Money,” the president posted on Truth Social. “The numbers are so large that, if successful, we would literally be able to balance our American Budget.”
