Viral Video Shows Kuwaiti Approaching US Air Force Pilot Who Ejected From Fighter Jet

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Video of an apparent interaction between a Kuwaiti citizen and a U.S. Air Force pilot who ejected from an F-15 fighter jet went viral online.

Three U.S. military jets were shot down from the sky in Kuwait, and reports initially assumed they were downed by Iran’s military forces. U.S. Central Command later indicated the incidents were the result of “friendly fire” from Kuwaiti air defenses.

The video shows the perspective of the Kuwaiti walking up to the soldier, who smiles as the man greets her and reassures her she is in friendly hands.

“You’re fine? Really? Do you need something to help you?” the man asks.

“No, I’m OK,” she replies.

“No problem, you’re safe, you’re safe. You’re safe,” he repeats. “Everything good? No problem.”

Supreme Court Blocks California Law That Stopped Schools From Telling Parents if Their Kid Is Transgender

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday blocked a law that prevents California schools from telling parents if their child comes out as transgender, after granting an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group.

The order for now blocks a state law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in July 2024 that made California the first state to bar school districts from requiring staff to notify parents of their child’s gender identification.

The ruling also blocks a rule that required teachers to use a student’s preferred pronouns.

Monday’s granting of an emergency appeal from a conservative legal group comes after many parents and teachers challenged the law.

The Thomas More Society, representing two sets of Catholic parents, argued the law causes schools to mislead them and secretly facilitates gender transition in minors. (Read more from “Supreme Court Blocks California Law That Stopped Schools From Telling Parents if Their Kid Is Transgender” HERE)

Far-Left Politician’s Shocking Marriage Secret — as She Lobbies Against Bombings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, a far-left Democrat running in California’s 65th Assembly District, is an anti-war climate activist who’s called to defund the Pentagon — even as her household has profited from one of the nation’s largest weapons manufacturers.

The DSA-aligned candidate is the spouse of Fazlul Zubair, who works as a systems engineer manager for Raytheon, the same company that built the Tomahawk missiles reportedly used in the Iran strikes over the weekend.

The California Post asked Iqbal-Zubair to respond to the contradiction between her policy positions and her husband’s employment to Raytheon, which rebranded to the RTX Corporation in 2023.

“I have no comment,” she told The Post.

Iqbal-Zubair previously ran for state assembly in 2020 and 2022, when she was endorsed by the Democratic Socialist of America, an organization that pushes anti-war policies and advocates to defund the US military.

The Post reached out to the DSA to ask if it was aware of Iqbal-Zubair’s connection to one of the world’s largest defense contractors, but did not hear back. (Read more from “Far-Left Politician’s Shocking Marriage Secret — as She Lobbies Against Bombings” HERE)

Former ‘South Park’ Writer Toby Morton Launches Website to Send Barron Trump to War

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former South Park writer Toby Morton has launched a website calling for President Donald Trump’s son, Barron, to be forced into the U.S. military and sent to a war zone.

Morton, 50, who runs a large number of fake news parody websites and who claims he is a creator of “Anti-Fascist Websites,” recently launched DraftBarronTrump.com as the president continues his military actions in Iran to rid the world of the fascist Iranian Mullah regime.

Morton’s attack on 19-year-old Barron Trump begins telling visitors, “America is strong because its leaders are strong. President Trump proves that every day. Naturally, his son Barron is more than ready to defend the country his father so boldly commands. Service is honor. Strength is inherited.”

“Dog Bless Barron,” the site continues.

Morton’s site also proclaims, “This site is dedicated to honoring the strongest and bravest voices in war. When power is projected abroad, it is only right that strength exists at home. If you’re looking for proven genes, inherited courage, and unquestionable resolve, look no further than the Trump family. Leadership starts somewhere.” (Read more from “Former ‘South Park’ Writer Toby Morton Launches Website to Send Barron Trump to War” HERE)

Ancient Time Capsule Unearthed in Iraq Reveals New Details That Corroborate the Bible

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Babylonian ‘time capsule’ buried for more than two millennia under the ruins of a ziggurat in modern-day Iraq has revealed never-before-seen details about the biblical king Nebuchadnezzar II.

Two cylinders bearing a royal inscription were buried as ‘foundation deposits’ – ritual objects buried under ancient buildings as a divine blessing believed to ensure the structure’s longevity.

The cylinders, each made of baked clay, were originally unearthed at the ruins of the temple in the ancient city of Kish, one of the most important cities in Mesopotamia.

Two locals who found the relics at the Kish archeological site named Tell Al-Uhaimir handed them to the State Board of Antiquities and Heritage in 2013. The new findings about what was inscribed on the cylinders were revealed in December.

The cylinders offered a new perspective on Nebuchadnezzar II, a historical figure who was an agent of destruction in the Bible. The king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire ruled from 605BC to 562BC.

US Intel Did Not Suggest a Preemptive Strike From Iran Before US-Israeli Attacks

/0 Comments/in /by

Trump administration officials told congressional staff in private briefings Sunday that U.S. intelligence did not suggest Iran was preparing to launch a preemptive strike against the U.S., three people familiar with the briefings said.

The administration officials instead acknowledged there was a more general threat in the region from Iran’s missiles and proxy forces, two of the people said. The third person, however, said the administration emphasized that Iran’s missiles and proxy forces posed an imminent threat to U.S. personnel and allies in the region.

The officials did not provide any clarity about what would happen next in Iran after the joint U.S.-Israeli operation, the two people said. All three people insisted on anonymity to discuss details that have not been made public.

The information conveyed to the congressional staff contrasts with the message from President Donald Trump. “Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime. A vicious group of very hard, terrible people,” he said in a video message after launching strikes on Iran.

Texas Mass Shooter Ndiaga Diagne Had Iranian Flag and Photos of Islamic Republic Leaders in His Home: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

The murderous gunman who shot up a Texas bar in a possible terrorist attack had an Iranian flag and photos of Islamic Republic leaders in his home, according to a report.

Senegalese national Ndiaga Diagne, 53, may have been motivated by the joint attack by Israel and the US when he pulled up to Buford’s Backyard Beer Garden in Austin on Sunday wearing a “Property of Allah” shirt and started shooting, killing two people and wounding 14 others, officials have said.

After Diagne was shot dead by Austin police officers, a search warrant executed at his home revealed an Iranian flag and pictures of Iranian leaders, sources with direct knowledge told CBS News.

A Quran was also found in Diagne’s car and he was also wearing an undershirt with the Iranian flag or other Iranian symbols, The Post previously revealed.

FBI Special Agent Alex Doran told reporters on Sunday that while authorities are working to determine the exact motivation for the mass shooting, there were “indicators on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate a potential nexus to terrorism.” (Read more from “Texas Mass Shooter Ndiaga Diagne Had Iranian Flag and Photos of Islamic Republic Leaders in His Home: Report” HERE)

Link Between Cannabis and Anxiety, Depression Has ‘Strengthened Over Time’: New Study

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Science is split on whether the effects of cannabis are good or bad, with recent research showing it could boost brain power in older adults, while other studies show the purported benefits go up in smoke.

But a new study has found a growing connection between cannabis use and detrimental effects on mental health.

Smoking weed has previously been found to have an impact on the brain by altering dopamine activity that closely resembles patterns observed in psychosis.

Now, a study led by McMaster University and published in The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry has shown that increasing cannabis use and worsening mental health symptoms are appearing together more and more often.

“We see that Canadians who use cannabis tend to be more likely to meet criteria for anxiety and depressive disorders, and more likely to report suicidality,” said Jillian Halladay, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing at McMaster. “We also see that this co-occurrence has strengthened over time.” (Read more from “Link Between Cannabis and Anxiety, Depression Has ‘Strengthened Over Time’: New Study” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Following earlier reports of fighter jets downed over Kuwait, CENTCOM has confirmed the loss of three F-15E Strike Eagle fighters around 0700 Kuwait time (2303 Eastern). The aircraft were engaged in “active combat” in support of Operation Epic Fury against “Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones” and were shot down “over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident”.

They said: “the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses.”

CENTCOM confirmed what had earlier been said by the Kuwaiti authorities that “All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered, and are in stable condition”.

The American authorities added: “Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation.

The cause of the incident is under investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available.” (Read more from “Three F-15E Eagles Downed in Kuwait in ‘Friendly Fire Incident’, Pilots Eject Safely Says Local Authorities” HERE)

China Denounces U.S. as ‘War Addict’ for Strikes on Iran

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Chinese Defense Ministry on Saturday denounced the United States as a “war addict” for launching strikes on Iran, while more temperate Chinese government organs called for an immediate cease-fire.

“The U.S. is a war addict. Throughout its over 240-year history, it has been at war for all but 16 years,” said a Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman at a press conference in Beijing in remarks spread by social media accounts linked to the Chinese government.

“The U.S. has 800 overseas military bases in over 80 countries and regions. The U.S. is the main cause of international disorder, global turbulence, and regional instability,” the spokesman said.

The state-controlled China Daily wrote an editorial on Saturday saying that American and Israeli action against Iran “ignores international law” and “follows a pattern of increasing belligerence.” (Read more from “China Denounces U.S. as ‘War Addict’ for Strikes on Iran” HERE)
