But the Democrat Party continues to conspire with an America-hating, radical Islamic terror state, and that's okay, because Michiganistan.
Iran informed Turkey in advance of its planned operation against Israel, a Turkish diplomatic source told Reuters on Sunday, adding that Washington had conveyed to Tehran via Ankara that any action it took had to be "within certain limits."
Turkey, which has denounced Israel for its campaign on Gaza, said earlier on Sunday that it did not want a further escalation of tensions in the region.
The Turkish source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had spoken to both his US and Iranian counterparts in the past week to discuss the planned Iranian operation, adding Ankara had been made aware of possible developments.
Earlier this week, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Fidan to make clear that escalation in the Middle East was not in anyone's interest.
"Iran informed us in advance of what would happen. Possible developments also came up during the meeting with Blinken, and they (the US) conveyed to Iran through us that this reaction must be within certain limits," the source said.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, leftwing "anti-war" activists cheered an act of war... by Iran.
American Anti-War Activists Cheer for Iran's War

But then a man stumbles to the podium, wiping sweat from his forehead. He grabs the microphone to announce that the Islamic regime of Iran has launched missiles and drones heading straight toward Israel.
"They believe that they will be in Palestinian--I don't call it Israeli--airspace between two and four a.m., which means about two to four hours from now," he says. "In addition, there are reports of drones having been fired on Israel from Yemen and Iraq."
The crowd, all wearing black N95s, erupts into applause. Someone in the back lowers their mask to send a celebratory whistle soaring throughout the room.
The man at the podium, Hatem Abudayyeh, heads the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, "a purported community group which, on information and belief, is an affiliate of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a designated terror organization based in Gaza," according to a lawsuit over the alleged relations between U.S. advocacy groups and Hamas.
"This is when this country and the world needs us because the United States is going to, quote unquote, defend the criminal Israeli state," says Abudayyeh, whose home was raided by the FBI in 2010 as part of an investigation "concerning the material support of terrorism."
"We have to assume that the United States is going to try to retaliate against Iran."
After the boos and calls of "shame" subside, Abudayyeh says it is "incumbent" upon Americans to "stop the United States from expanding this war and hitting Iran."
"We've got to be the strong, powerful anti-war movement that we are," he says, placing the microphone down and exiting the stage.
The crowd immediately began chanting, "Hands off Iran."
It's as true now as it was in 2001: They're not anti-war, they're just pro-Islamic terrorism.
