US Strikes Iran After Trump Claims Ceasefire Was Violated

The United States conducted strikes against Iran after President Donald Trump claimed that the Islamic Republic had violated the ceasefire on Friday.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that American forces put forth a “powerful response” after Iran struck a commercial ship that was transiting the Strait of Hormuz. A U.S. aircraft struck “Iranian missile and drone storage locations and coastal radar sites,” according to CENTCOM.

This comes after Iran is suspected of having struck a Singapore-flagged cargo ship with a one-way attack drone in the strait on Thursday.

“The unwarranted aggression against commercial shipping by Iranian forces clearly violated the ceasefire,” a statement from CENTCOM reads. “Furthermore, Iran’s dangerous behavior undermined freedom of navigation as commerce increasingly flows through the vital international trade corridor.”

“The U.S. military remains present and vigilant to ensure all aspects of the agreement with Iran are adhered to, obeyed, and in full force and effect.” (Read more from “US Strikes Iran After Trump Claims Ceasefire Was Violated” HERE)

Mother of Trans Athlete Claims Her Child Was Made ‘Invisible’ After Being Forced to Share Awards Stage with Females

The mother of transgender California track athlete AB Hernandez seems to believe that the winner’s podium at a female track event is no place for females.

In a speech at the San Francisco Pride Summit on Thursday, Nereyda Hernandez took strong exception to the recent California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) decision to give first-place honors to the female athletes who finished behind her son.
Hernandez says the new rule has rendered her son “invisible.”

“Of course I’m going to be upset,” Hernandez said. “AB put in all the work, all the hours after school, and she got put aside. It was heartbreaking. I knew it hurt her, because she’s physically there, but she’s kind of invisible.”

The CIF instituted the new rule as a way of, at least attempting to quell the controversy surrounding the state’s decision to allow boys to compete in girls’ sports.

James Talarico Says Black Churches Understand Jesus Better than White Churches

Texas Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico said many white churches do not reflect the Jesus described in the Gospels and argued that black churches have a “deeper and more accurate” understanding of what it means to follow Jesus.

Speaking on the September 2024 podcast titled “Holy Conversation: Faith and Politics,” Talarico said too many white churches focus on the afterlife instead of on “freeing the oppressed and healing the sick and feeding the hungry.”

“Too many white churches are focused on the afterlife and not really much on this life,” Talarico said. “In my opinion, a lot of white churches don’t resemble the Jesus we meet in the Gospels of being out in the world, of freeing the oppressed and healing the sick and feeding the hungry.”

Talarico also praised black churches, saying they have a better understanding of what it means to follow Jesus than many white churches.

“And in the black churches that I’ve been in, they, I think because of their position in this country historically and currently, have a much deeper and more accurate understanding of what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st century,” Talarico continued. “So I’m glad that we are learning from black churches. I know my church has up in North Austin, and it sounds like this church is.” (Read more from “James Talarico Says Black Churches Understand Jesus Better than White Churches” HERE)

Hero Dog ‘Tsunami’ Rescues 12 People and Counting After Venezuela Earthquakes

A dog who suffered abuse and abandonment in the past has become a hero in Venezuela thanks to his work helping find survivors among the ruins of collapsed buildings following this week’s deadly earthquakes.

International outlets have described the dog, a border collie named Tsunami, as a symbol of hope in the aftermath of Wednesday’s deadly doublet earthquake that caused widespread devastation in Venezuela.

Tsunami’s hard work has so far reportedly resulted in the successful rescue of over 12 survivors of Wednesday’s earthquakes in Venezuela as of Thursday.

The Colombian magazine Semana detailed that Tsunami is part of a local search and rescue team working to find survivors. Jorge Beens, founder and director of the Venezuelan canine search and rescue organization K-Sar Ecid, detailed to the magazine that Tsunami faced dramatic adverse situations in his youth. The dog was rescued years ago from an abusive household.

After receiving care, veterinary treatment, and undergoing a recovery process for the abuse he suffered, Tsunami underwent specialized training that allowed the dog to develop skills for search and rescue operations. Semana explained that over time the dog “demonstrated outstanding abilities to detect people and work in complex situations.”

Missing UFO Scientist Tried to Escape Secret Pentagon Program Days Before Vanishing Without a Trace, Bombshell Memo Claims

A missing U.S. Air Force general linked to the military’s alleged research on UFOs was reportedly trying to quit his job at a government research lab before he mysteriously vanished, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland vanished from a hiking trail in Albuquerque on February 27, which experts say could be a “grave national security crisis.”

According to documents first uncovered by historian Sara Bondink, the general’s wife, Susan Wilkerson, told authorities before disappearing, the 68-year-old was suffering from a severe mental decline and was trying to resign from several of the secret projects he was working on.

At the time, McCasland was involved in high-level research for the Department of War, focusing on national security and advanced technology.

Just days before he vanished, according to a police report, McCasland flew by himself to Washington DC to officially resign from the Riverside Research facility, a nonprofit that provides scientific research, engineering, and advisory services on advanced technology projects. . .

Sources told Radar there are fears he may have been silenced to protect secrets the government is keeping – or that he was made to disappear by the very extraterrestrials he has spent a career documenting.

America’s Population of Children is Nose-Diving; Only One Region with Growth

Children’s laughter is becoming less common all across the country — after the number of kids in the US shrank by 1.8 million since 2020.

All except for one region, where school classes are still growing: The South.

The portion of Americans under 18 grew by 1.1% between 2020 and 2025, amounting to 303,969 being born or moving to region during that time.

It’s a relatively small number of children, but significant compared to trends across the country — with the national child population dropping by 2.4% during the same time, US Census Bureau data from Axios found.

The drop was more dramatic in some regions.

Western states lost 1,015,068 kids — a 5.7% decline — while the northeast’s child population declined by 4.1%. (Read more from “America’s Population of Children is Nose-Diving; Only One Region with Growth” HERE)

How US Leaders’ Attempts To Dominate The World Are Weakening One Of Our Greatest Advantages

Washington’s attempts to dominate global finance through tight sanctions could be strengthening America’s adversaries.

Iran has been avoiding U.S. sanctions by using Chinese yuan to sell its oil, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday. This avenue opened amid years of American leaders making it less desirable for China, Iran, and Russia to use the U.S. dollar.

Among the White House’s bargaining chips in the ongoing Iran nuclear deal talks is relief from U.S. sanctions, which could unfreeze some of the approximately $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets, according to WSJ. However, the U.S. Treasury reportedly said most of Iran’s $43 billion in oil revenue from 2024 were paid for in yuan.

Russia also increased yuan use amid U.S. sanctions spurred by the Russo-Ukrainian War, according to WSJ. Over 90% of trade between Russia and China is now conducted through yuan and Russian rubles, according to Russian officials, up from the pre-war 2%.

Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and John Cornyn of Texas introduced a bill to give stolen Russian assets to Ukraine. (Read more from “How US Leaders’ Attempts To Dominate The World Are Weakening One Of Our Greatest Advantages” HERE)

Pastor Tony Spell Attacked Neighbor who Allegedly Threatened to Rape and Kill Wife

A Louisiana pastor is accused of attacking his neighbor, who hurled expletives and allegedly threatened to rape and kill his wife as the pair brawled across from the church.

Tony Spell, the 48-year-old pastor of the Life Tabernacle Church, was arrested on battery charges for beating his neighbor’s 20-year-old son on Tuesday, according to WBRZ.

Spell was changing the battery of his church’s school buses when he was allegedly abused from across the four-lane road in Baton Rouge, La.

“He said, ‘Tony, I’m going to rape your wife, I’m going to rape all your grandchildren, and the next time you go out of town, I’m going to kill them,’” Spell claimed on Wednesday.

Spell said he had a “duty and obligation” to protect his family.

“Number one, I’m a husband, number two, I’m a father, and number three, I’m a pastor who shepherds his flock,” he said. “I will not allow a man to murder my children when I’m gone.” (Read more from “Pastor Tony Spell Attacked Neighbor who Allegedly Threatened to Rape and Kill Wife” HERE)

Mob Shouting ‘Free Karmelo’ Violently Assaults ‘The Smallest White Girl They Could Find,’ She Claims

A woman claims that a mob of female Karmelo Anthony supporters jumped her in an unprovoked attack at a Texas bar Sunday.

Sammie Lee says she was leaving Whiskey J’s bar in Longview, Texas when she was attacked by a group of girls she had never met before, Fox News reported. Lee alleged that the crowd was angered by the verdict against Karmelo Anthony — the 19-year-old who was sentenced to 35 years in prison after being found guilty of murdering Austin Metcalf in a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet.

“While getting jumped they [were] yelling out ‘Free Karmelo’ — saying they [were] going to target the smallest white girl they could find,” Lee wrote in a Sunday Facebook post in which she included pictures of her face with visible blood and a black eye.

“I never said a word to these girls, never looked at them, and don’t know them at all,” Lee’s post added. “[B]lack eye, and staples in my HEAD! [I] was LEAKING blood on the back of [sic] head & my face. [T]otally caught me off guard. THIS SHIT IS NOT OKAY!!!!!”

One woman, Ciarrianne Fuller, was arrested in connection with the alleged assault, according to CBS19. Fuller is charged with assault causing bodily injury and has been placed in Gregg County Jail on a $20,000 bond as the investigation continues.
