President Donald Trump is considering fresh strikes on Iran after high-stakes peace talks with the regime failed — and as the US prepares Monday to block the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report. The president is mulling limited military strikes on the country, sources told the Wall Street Journal. An all-out bombing campaign on Iran’s infrastructure is also on the table after negotiations with the Islamic Republic fell through in Pakistan on Sunday, the sources said, but is unlikely.

Over 50 former staffers of Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) have called for his resignation following a series of sexual assault and misconduct allegations.
The signed open letter described the allegations against Swalwell as both “serious” and “credible.”
“The allegations reported by the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN are serious, credible, and demand accountability,” the letter said. “We stand unequivocally with our colleague, who showed extraordinary courage in coming forward to share her truth. We believe her.”
Both CNN and the Chronicle reported that a former staffer accused the California gubernatorial candidate of sexual assault,
The good life in the United States is over for seven Iranian nationals linked to the brutal regime in Tehran after they were targeted for removal this month by a State Department of State and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) crackdown. Over the weekend, the California Post and the New York Post published a roundup of those detained and headed for deportation, the lion’s share of the crackdown centered in Los Angeles, which has a large Persian community. Among the most prominent is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, the woman known as “Screaming Mary.”
President Donald Trump criticized Pope Leo XIV, labeling him as “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” and added that he does not want a Pope who opposes the actions of the Trump administration.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that he likes Pope Leo’s brother “much better” than he likes the Pope. Trump also noted he does not want a Pope “who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” or who “thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela. Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” Trump wrote.

Lefty billionaire Stephen Cloobeck dramatically cut ties with Eric Swalwell and revealed he has kicked him out of his mansion — hours before the congressman dropped his run for California governor.
“I am no longer supporting Eric,” Cloobeck told The Post in an exclusive interview. “F—ing tell everyone I’m a libertarian. F— you, Democrat Party. I’m a libertarian now.”
The ugly break-up between the timeshare mogul and Bay Area congressman — who pulled out of the governor’s race late Sunday — marks yet another stunning point in Swalwell’s cratering political career.
President Trump slammed Pope Leo XIV for being “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy” in a lengthy Truth Social post following the American pontiff’s veiled rebukes of the Iran war.
“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” Trump wrote Sunday night.
“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country,” he continued.
Pretty much the entire developed world faces the problem of streams of "asylum seekers" and "migrants," which are the polite terms that the left applies to invading hordes from the Third World. President Donald Trump was elected to his second term in no small part to address this crisis, and he has. Most American politicians, though, will at least pay lip service to immigration enforcement and guarding our borders. They may not mean it (see the recent, unlamented Biden administration), but they try to make appeasing noises about it, like insisting the border is closed, even when it plainly is not.
The Iranian regime recently massacred perhaps as many as 40,000 of its own people, has been bombarding civilian targets in multiple nations for weeks, and has spent decades practicing international terrorism and domestic tyranny. So, of course, the United Nations just nominated an Iranian representative to its committee overseeing women’s rights and anti-terrorism measures.Watchdog group UN Watch posted furiously on April 10, “SHAME: The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been nominated to the U.N. Committee for Program and Coordination, which meets soon to shape policy on women's rights, human rights, disarmament, and terrorism prevention.” The group’s executive director, Hillel Neuer, followed up by asking:
In the wake of President Donald Trump’s historic pledge to carry out a mass deportation program, a coalition of Republicans is promoting a bill to grant widespread amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, prompting fierce backlash from fellow congressional Republicans and the GOP base.
Rep. María Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., led 19 other Republicans in the House of Representatives in introducing H.R. 4393, the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025” or DIGNIDAD (Spanish for “Dignity”) Act, in July.

Democrats talk about impeachment and the 25th Amendment pretty much all the time when it comes to President Donald Trump. There were plans to impeach him before he even took office in 2017. They spent years calling him crazy, inviting quack doctors on left-wing media outlets, and claiming he was unstable. So, the recent push to simultaneously push for impeachment and invoke the 25th Amendment is hardly new territory for them, but it’s getting kind of old, even for CNN.On Saturday, CNN's Michael Smerconish delivered a scathing rebuke of Democrats’ rhetoric and methodically dismantled their favorite talking point that Donald Trump is mentally unfit to serve as president.
Two men were arrested near Seguin, Texas, after law enforcement officers discovered the pair was allegedly transporting stolen vehicles concealed in two semi-tractor trailers. The two men, described as Honduran nationals by the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s office, were found in possession of six stolen vehicles valued at more than $470,000. According to the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s office, the two semi-tractor trailers were intercepted early Monday morning on Interstate 10 just east of San Antonio. The suspect vehicles were stopped by the Guadalupe County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Unit, K-9, and patrol deputies, with assistance provided by the Gonzales County Sheriff’s Office.

With the breakdown in peace negotiations between the US and Iran, President Donald J. Trump has determined that the US Navy will implement a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
And, to no one’s surprise, this announcement was followed by a reaction from failing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who refused to join the blockade.
Apart from being another instance in which the Labour party leader fails to live up to his duty to his main ally, the US, it is also a black eye on the British Royal Navy and its much-degraded capabilities.
California Rep. Eric Swalwell announced he is suspending his campaign for governor on Sunday amid allegations of sexual misconduct by four women. "I am suspending my campaign for Governor. To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made -- but that's my fight, not a campaign's," he wrote in a post on social media. (Snip) That ends only part of Swalwell's mounting troubles. A growing number of his Democratic colleagues are calling for him to resign from Congress, which
Vice President JD Vance said the US and Iran failed to strike a peace deal to end the six-week war rocking the Middle East, blaming Tehran’s refusal to give up its nuclear ambitions — leaving uncertainty over whether fighting will resume.
Vance delivered the quick-hit update after 21 hours of grueling negotiations in Pakistan, noting meaningful discussions were held with Iran but none that brokered a deal on terms laid out by the US.
“The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement,” Vance told reporters in Islamabad.
“And I think that’s bad news for Iran much more than it’s bad news for the United States of America.

You have to remember how close they are in all their collaborative efforts in order to truly appreciate the level of disingenuous gaslighting present in this effort to create distance.
Throughout Spygate, Russiagate and all the impeachment nonsense, Adam Schiff was Batman to Eric Swalwell’s Robin. They were/are peas and carrots, partners in every sense of the word.
Schiff and Swalwell organized together, planned and conducted media hits together, schemed together, shared the same staff together and were fundamentally side-by-side in everything. However, now that Swalwell’s perverted zipper problems and rape tendencies have become the talk of California and Washington, DC, Schiff retracts:
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in the parliamentary elections on Sunday, bringing an end to 16 years of governance in Budapest.
Following a hotly contested campaign against his rival, Member of European Parliament Péter Magyar, and his upstart Tisza Party, a record turnout of over three-quarters of voters decided to turn the page from Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party, which had ruled the country since 2010.With over two-thirds of the votes counted, Tisza held a lead of 53 per cent to 37 per cent, according to Magyar Nemzet, likely paving the way for a governing majority in the parliament.
Police are investigating a mass shooting at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in New Jersey that left multiple people injured Saturday evening, according to reports.
The shooting took place at a Chick-fil-A in Union, New Jersey, according to NJ.com.
It was not immediately clear how many people were shot or the extent of their injuries, but RLS Media reported at least six people were shot.
"This is an active and ongoing investigation," a spokesperson for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office told the outlet. "More information will be released as it becomes available."
Officers responded to a reported shooting just after 8:45 p.m. on Route 22 near Gelb Avenue, CBS New York reported.

While Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is under siege over a number of disturbing sexual abuse allegations as he struggles to keep his campaign for California governor alive, another rising Democratic star from Maryland is facing some headwinds of his own. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D), whose handlers like to portray him as the next Barack Obama, is said to be a contender for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2028. Except Moore has a problem – his past seems to be already catching up with him. For a Democrat, that in itself is really a non-issue. If the party doesn’t want your past to catch up with you, it won’t.

A Madman and Irishmen

A s the administration's trap is closing on the Iranian government (at least the fourth level of it, which is all that has not been eliminated by the IAF and U.S. forces) Irishmen are blockading major roads and streets in Ireland. Only the Guinness tankers are being let through. Ostensibly the dispute is over the rising cost of fuel which will bankrupt farmers and truckers. If, however, you’ve been paying attention, the rebellion goes deeper -- the high taxes, third-world immigration, and the highhandedness of the government. Under the guise of the idiotic net zero policies, the Irish government has been using the tax revenues which will destroy agriculture
