US Central Command completed its seventh consecutive night of airstrikes against Iran Friday, hitting Iranian “military logistics infrastructure” among other targets. “US Central Command (CENTCOM) hit surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities,” read a statement released by the combatant command. “US forces employed fighter aircraft, aerial drones, and warships in addition to other assets.” “CENTCOM continues to hold Iran accountable at the Commander in Chief’s direction while fully enforcing a naval blockade against Iranian ports.”

As I have said many times before, exterminate IRGC. I am tired of the 50 years of hell that this country created for everyone.

The United States military began conducting its seventh consecutive night of missile strikes Friday on Iran now that a ceasefire between the two countries has officially ended. Fighting in the region resumed this week after negotiations failed to end the conflict, which was in a state of nominal ceasefire for months. In June, the countries signed a memorandum of understanding extending the ceasefire by 60 days. "CENTCOM launched a round of strikes against Iran at 3 p.m. ET today for the seventh consecutive night," United States Central Command said on X. "The strikes are designed to continue degrading Iranian military capabilities at the Commander in Chief's direction."

President Donald Trump on Thursday released a trove of declassified intelligence documents that his administration says expose long-suspected vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure, in addition to alarming intelligence pointing to prior administrations' and officials' knowledge of such issues that were kept from the president, Congress and the American people. "The intelligence community withheld information from his president's daily brief. That's a big deal. That's where the intelligence community gives him the absolute most classified data, what he needs to know for that day, and frankly, during his first term, they withheld it. That is a black mark on the intelligence community," Rep. Keith Self, R-Tex., told Just The News.

As the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act remains stalled in Congress, a new report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security shows an astounding number of deceased and illegal aliens are registered to vote in Texas. The document, released by DHS, shows that more than 113,000 individuals who are either deceased or illegal aliens are registered to vote in the state. DHS notes that 10 states have cooperated with the federal government’s request for their complete voter rolls: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.

Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley took the heaviest fire after gaveling one in the day after Memorial Day. Senators James Lankford and John Hoeven were also hammered for doing the same during the Fourth of July recess. Since Trump’s second term began, more than 30 GOP senators have presided over these empty procedural sessions, convincing many in the base that the GOP Senate is choosing “tradition” over Trump’s mandate. But one of Trump’s strongest allies in the Senate says the real story is being missed. In an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit, Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-MO,

Sane people assume politics has no place in the provision of hospice care. The Left believes otherwise, convinced everything is political and, therefore, fair game for the coercive imposition of its civil religion. The Left’s civil religion traces its intellectual lineage to the French philosophe Jean-Jacques Rousseau, whose assault on the Enlightenment helped lay the foundations of modern totalitarianism. In a nutshell, Rousseau’s civil religion was a belief system born of the “general will,” as pronounced by the omniscient “Legislator.” It bound a people to the state and demanded universal assent and practice. Those who refused were “forced to be free,” either through exile from society or even execution. Per Britannica:
Cynthia Nixon's Judicial Role Raises Questions

New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson has appointed liberal activist actress Cynthia Nixon to the Commission on Judicial Nomination — a critical body tasked with screening and recommending candidates for the state's highest court. Nixon, best known for her role as Miranda Hobbes in "Sex and the City," completely lacks a law degree or any judicial experience. Given that most other commission members are practicing lawyers, this choice stands out like a sore thumb at a time when New Yorkers are desperate for a justice system that prioritizes the rule of law over progressive virtue-signaling.

The Reform leader attacked what he said was a “vacuous” speech by “chameleon” Burnham as he was elected unopposed to replace Sir Keir Starmer. Farage hit out at the Right-wing CPAC UK conference organised by Liz Truss after Burnham vowed to undo many of the economic reforms spearheaded by Margaret Thatcher’s government in the 1980s. “On Monday, we’ll have a new Prime Minister, our seventh Prime Minister in 10 years – and we used to laugh at the Italians. He comes in with absolutely no mandate of any kind at all,” Farage said.

An imam from Texas named Omar Suleiman who has led prayers before Congress is facing a formal rebuke over horrible comments he made, celebrating the news of the death of Senator Lindsey Graham. Celebrating the death of Republicans has become commonplace on the left. We saw the exact same thing play out following the death of Charlie Kirk. They don’t even try to hide it. They gleefully celebrate the death of their political adversaries openly on social media, then often act surprised when others react to them with disgust, or if there are consequences. This case is especially repulsive, given that this is supposedly a man of God.

Earlier Wednesday, we reported on Attorney General Nominee Todd Blanche's Senate confirmation hearing and the “extraordinarily obnoxious” questions lobbed at him by the insufferable Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and other Democrats. But it wouldn’t be a true clown show without one of the hardest to stomach lawmakers in the entire metro D.C. area, Adam Schiff. The truth-challenged California senator went toe-to-toe with Blanche, who has been acting director since April following Pam Bondi’s departure, but he probably wished he hadn’t.

I hope you're sitting down for this one. The 'ladies' at The View don't like something Republicans did. Shocker, right? In this case, it's the fact that Gov. Henry McMaster appointed the late Lindsey Graham's sister, Darline Graham Nordone, to hold his place in the Senate until a new senator for South Carolina is elected. Now, I know some of you didn't like this idea, but you didn't like it for legitimate reasons. The ladies at The View didn't like it because... um, well, because she's a woman.

Consumer prices fell in June 0.4 percent, following a renewed, short-lived ceasefire in the Iran war, with 12-month inflation dropping from 4.2 percent to 3.5 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s good news, with average weekly earnings for private sector workers back up to 3.8 percent the past twelve months. The decreases were led by falls in the energy prices as gasoline fell 9.7 percent and fuel oil dropped 9.2 percent. With U.S. strikes in Iran resumed after Iran attacked ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz — that led President Donald Trump to declare the ceasefire with Iran was terminated —

COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end. One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the “spontaneous” events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).(Snip) When the COVID-19 vaccines were initially released, I had a large number of patients immediately show up with “moderate” reactions to the COVID vaccines, with many of them stating something to the effect of: “I have gotten a flu shot for years and I have never experienced anything like this.”

Things just keep getting worse for the Democratic Party, and at this rate, they may need a new metaphor because "keeps getting worse" barely covers it anymore. We already told you the polls are tightening heading into the midterms in November, which was bad enough on its own. Now it turns out the party's situation is so much worse than we already know, and the people running the show apparently don’t want you to know just how bad it really is In a bizarre move, the Democratic National Committee required its senior leadership to sign non-disclosure agreements before a private meeting on the party's finances, according to

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic. “No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that's very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and

Pakistan's Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three individuals convicted of murdering a Christian man and his pregnant wife — Shahzad Masih (26) and Shama Bibi (24). The couple was burned to death after being thrown into a brick kiln. The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2014, in Punjab's Kasur District. Masih and Bibi, who worked as laborers at a local brick factory, were falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran. The brick kiln owner reportedly prevented the couple from fleeing due to a financial dispute. A local Islamic prayer leader used a mosque loudspeaker to incite a crowd against them. A mob of over 1,000 people then converged

President Donald Trump's Thursday speech to the nation was short and compact. The new teleprompter person was a bit rusty, but he pulled it off without too many hiccups. As expected, the hiccups came from Democrats and the NeverTrumpers, who had already decided what the substance of the speech would be before Trump even uttered a word. The takeaways from the Democrats and the Left: Trump is a raving lunatic and is setting the stage to steal the 2026 midterms. And they accuse Trump of being a conspiracy theorist?

A former Marine who attracted attention to his Florida write-in congressional campaign with an explicit assassination threat against Donald Trump is now in handcuffs. The U.S. Department of Justice announced on July 16 the arrest and charging of Jacksonville’s William L. Upham. It is illegal to make an explicit threat against the life of the president of the United States, and that is just what Upham did. Upham already appeared in federal court and is still being detained. He could be looking at five years in federal prison if the feds secure a conviction. Given the three nearly successful attempts on Trump's life already, the feds cannot afford to dismiss

The fast-food drive-thru was not born in California. But the idea was perfected by California cultural icon In-N-Out, which is fitting because the double-double chain has become the main villain in Culver City’s effort to ban drive-thrus. Red’s Giant Hamburg on Route 66 in Springfield, Mo., was likely the first drive-thru restaurant in the country, says the American Automobile Association, serving customers as early as 1947. But In-N-Out created a year later “the drive-thru as we know it today, complete with an intercom ordering system,” at its Baldwin Park restaurant, which had “only enough room for the cooks.”

Some officials have floated making would-be legal permanent residents submit a $100,000 bond if applying at a US consulate overseas, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Others said the deposit amount could fluctuate depending on individual cases.Green card holders would likely be repaid upon becoming US citizens, a process that takes at least five years. “President Trump has made clear that those who wish to immigrate to the United States must be financially self-sufficient,”
