Iran: Truce Doesn't End Wars
Posted By: Mercedes44, 5/31/2026 9:35:18 AM
Though Israel was included in the various ceasefires that President Donald Trump has declared, almost always without securing Israel's consent, it is clear that Israel will not be a party to the truce mediated by half a dozen countries, notably Pakistan. Iran, as it is already threatening, intends to continue its war against Israel through the Lebanese Hezbollah. Last Tuesday, Tehran said $5 billion of any Iranian frozen assets that will be released under the truce will go to Hezbollah in Lebanon to "continue the resistance." [M]ost of the targets hit by Tehran were civilian structures that had nothing to do with US or Israeli forces.

Last Saturday, odious “Marxist” influencer Hasan Piker—nephew of Young Turk cofounder Cenk Uygur—was served a subpoena by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control.
Piker visited Cuba in March as part of the “Nuestra América Convoy,” a delegation of “communist sympathizers, activists, and influencers” (Fox News) who took supplies to the island’s beleaguered, bedraggled Communist Party and provided a much-needed propaganda boost in the face of mounting U.S. pressure.
The investigation will consider whether Piker and others, perhaps as many as 40 people, violated U.S. sanctions and laws by visiting the island and, in particular, by supplying the regime with goods. U.S. law imposes a wide range of restrictions—
GOP members in Congress are joining TikTok after years of speaking out against the app and are going viral.
Following in the footsteps of Democrat lawmakers who have been on the app for years, Republican lawmakers are gaining millions of views and reaching the younger generation of voters.
Last year, TikTok, the social media platform known for its short-form video content and addictive algorithm, was at the center of a data privacy concern. The platform was created and founded by a Chinese technology company, ByteDance, with links to the Chinese Communist Party.
Many in the Republican Party were concerned the CCP had access to billions of Americans’ personal data.

America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.
As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.
This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.
Martina McBride was, once upon a time, one of country’s biggest stars. The emphasis there is once upon a time; a long time, unless you’re one of those types who thinks it’s only yesterday that Pearl Jam and the Strokes were on the radio and any large group of people still listened to any of those three. (No shame in that; I’m in your numbers.)
McBride’s last album that appeared in the Billboard 200 was released in 2014. Her last album certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America — for between 500,000 to 1 million sales or equivalent streams — was released in 2007.
Did you imagine for a moment that the notion that the most openly diverse, democratic country in the Middle East, which goes to unheard-of lengths to protect citizens in enemy territory, was an "apartheid, genocider” sprung up spontaneously? That this defamation arose all on its own through large grassroots movements? Of course, this is not how so many libels against Israel took root.In an extensively documented report, the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives found that the Biden Administration sent funds to NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that used them to destabilize the Israeli government and fund anti-American and anti-Israeli activities here. These efforts, unsurprisingly,
President Trump is signing off on a decision from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) earlier this year to cut down on the number of required vaccinations for children.
The president endorsed these adjusted immunization requirements in an executive order on Friday. Trump cited his administration’s commitment to “protecting religious liberty and parental authority” in the order. Therefore, it is the policy of the United States that the core childhood vaccine schedule should be aligned with scientific evidence and best practices from peer, developed countries while preserving access to vaccines currently available to Americans—
California’s state Assembly passed the “Stop Nick Shirley Act” on Tuesday, and yet, Nick Shirley is still out here filming.
The Dallas Express covered the legislation in April, when the Assembly Judiciary Committee advanced the bill 11-2. At the time, Republican Assemblymember Carl DeMaio gave it the nickname that has since stuck, warning the legislation was designed not to protect vulnerable workers, but to silence independent journalists.AB 2624 can only be described as the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ – a bill designed to silence citizen journalists exposing fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars,” DeMaio said at the time.

The CIA should have known something was off the moment ex-officer David Rush demanded 667 pounds of gold bullion.
Instead of requesting diamonds or rare gems — the far lighter, more mobile currency the agency has long favored for clandestine work — Rush asked for heavy gold bars, a choice a former senior CIA official told The Post was an obvious red flag.
Now Rush is incarcerated in an Alexandria, Va., lockup and charged carrying out a massive theft – although it is the spy agency itself facing tough questions from lawmakers about how he was ever allowed to get this far.
President Trump is touting a performer who draws larger crowds than “Elvis” to headline the Great American State Fair on the National Mall, after numerous high-profile cancellations — himself.

The scene outside Delaney Hall detention center turned chaotic again Friday night with more clashes between anti-ICE protesters and agents – despite New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s attempt to establish a “peaceful” protest zone.
The mob throughout the evening continued their vile chants and ignored orders from police to disperse or face arrests as law enforcement used tear gas and pepper spray to restrain the unruly crowd, according to footage.
“Kill yourself, quit your job, quit your job,” the rabble-rousers chanted at one point.

A lesbian minister in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is canceling her church’s annual Fourth of July celebrations in an act of political protest apparently against the country’s — as well as her own congregation’s — “whiteness.”
Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. "We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Splaine wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current. She was referring to
Five people were killed and 44 others were injured when a non-English speaking bus driver from Staten Island smashed into stopped traffic along I-95 in Virginia on Friday morning, according to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy.

The driver of a bus involved in a deadly Virginia crash that killed five people doesn't speak English, authorities said, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who called it "unacceptable."
Five people were killed and dozens were injured when the driver of an E&P Travel bus heading from New York to North Carolina failed to slow down near a work zone and slammed into several cars on Interstate 95 in Stafford County, the Virginia State Police said.
The crash happened around 2:35 a.m. Friday.

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.
Amy Gertner, whom Platner has been married to since November 2023, told the campaign about the texts during an internal vetting process last year at the beginning of his campaign. Gertner's disclosure of the texts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
In a statement from Gertner provided by the Platner campaign, she wrote that they have gone through counseling and that their marriage today "is stronger than ever before."

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt's leftist opponents are not happy with how his campaign has taken off.
Listen to how upset the Los Angeles city council member Nithya Raman is about the amazing ads supporters have been putting out that have so animated Pratt's campaign.
Raman tried to claim Pratt was promoting his campaign with AI videos, and that was "deeply insulting" to the industry and workers. Interviewer Elex Michaelson then brings her up short, telling her these are videos by supporters, not made by Pratt. That just killed her argument, big time. She knows it, and she tries to shift to another attack.
The wife of Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner said she was “deeply hurt” after details of her husband’s extramarital sexting became public Saturday, accusing a former campaign official and confidante of betraying her trust.
The statement from Platner’s wife, Amy Gertner, came after both The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that shortly after Platner announced his Senate campaign last year, Gertner flagged to campaign staff sexual text messages her husband had with other women.
“I know who Graham is,” Gertner said in a statement delivered through Platner’s campaign. “I know the man I married
On Thursday, USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced The Great American Cotton Plan, an effort to help revitalize the nation's cotton-producing industry to move Americans back toward wearing natural fibers as opposed to plastic materials and other pontially toxic fibers.
Launched as a cornerstone of the plan to restore domestic textile manufacturing, the “Plant Not Plastic” initiative urges American consumers to choose products made with natural, U.S.-grown cotton over petroleum-based synthetics like polyester.

A clip of Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico offering a bizarre prayer while delivering an invocation on the House floor in 2021 has resurfaced where he referenced Hinduism, Islam, and more while attempting to acknowledge the names of the one true God and His son Jesus, ending his prayer in “all your many names.”
“Let us pray. Holy Mystery, you have so many names,” Talarico said in the prayer before referencing a long list of other religious beliefs and their names for God, seemingly offering a universalist view of the One True God, the great I Am.
Spencer Pratt is now Karen Bass’ biggest headache. With a margin of error of plus or minus 4.9 percentage points, the race remains statistically tight.
One of the more notable findings is Pratt’s strength among Hispanic voters, where he leads the field with 33% support, compared to 24% for Bass and 21% for Raman.
But beneath the numbers lies a much bigger warning sign for City Hall.
Voters appear deeply dissatisfied not only with the direction of Los Angeles but also with nearly every major candidate seeking to lead it.

We often hear and read about men brutalizing women, and it is a national disgrace that so many women live their lives in terror. I’ve written many times about the battering situations I came across as a police officer in NYC.
But there’s another type of battering I’ve witnessed, albeit not nearly as often: women brutalizing men.
While working a tour in Brooklyn one night, my partner and I were summoned to an apartment to handle an assault in progress. When we arrived and climbed a few flights of stairs, we heard moaning sounds coming from behind an open door of one of the rooms. Other occupants
CNN’s Michael Smerconish isn’t buying presumptive Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s explanations for once having a Nazi-linked tattoo.
On Saturday, Smerconish opened his show by calling out what he called a “blindspot” for the Democratic Party, which he explained is excusing certain behavior and troublesome candidates simply because they passionately oppose President Donald Trump.
Smerconish pointed to Platner as a prime example of this “blindspot,” citing both a Nazi-linked tattoo that has since been covered and recently-discovered Reddit posts where the candidate mocked a veteran over a video of him overseas in a firefight.
