Iran Opens Strait Of Hormuz… For Now

President Donald Trump and Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced Friday that the Strait of Hormuz was officially open.

Trump took to Truth Social to thank the Iranians for opening the strait after previously claiming the U.S. was close to a deal to permanently end the conflict. Crude oil futures declined shorty after Iran announced the strait’s opening, with prices tumbling by over 10% as of this writing.

“THANK YOU!” Trump said on Truth Social. “Iran Has JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE STRAIT OF IRAN IS FULLY OPEN AND READY FOR FULL PASSAGE.”

However, Araghchi’s announcement on X was less enthusiastic. He explained that the Strait of Hormuz would only remain open “for the remaining period of ceasefire.”

“In line with the ceasefire in Lebanon, the passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz is declared completely open for the remaining period of ceasefire, on the coordinated route as already announced by Ports and Maritime Organisation of the Islamic Rep. of Iran,” Araghchi wrote.

We Have Several Signs Trump Admin Planning Next Country As Military Target

The U.S. military may be ramping up for a potential Cuba operation, multiple reports suggest.

Two sources familiar with the matter leaked the information to USA Today on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly — a report the U.S. military has yet to verify. Open source intelligence accounts on X also documented the flight path of a drone that appeared to be spying on the communist nation.

“BLKCAT6, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C ‘Triton’ High-Altitude Surveillance Drone flew an over 12-hour mission yesterday off the coast of Cuba, flying rounds over the Gulf of America and Northern Caribbean, taking a particularly close look at both Havana and the area near Guantanamo Bay, before returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida,” OSINTdefender posted on X.

The USA Today leak came just over a month after President Donald Trump’s announcement that Cuba’s regime was at “the end of the line” at the Shield of the Americas Summit on March 7.

“As part of our standard responsibilities, U.S. Southern Command routinely reviews and updates contingency plans to ensure readiness and support for U.S. government objectives in the region,” U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) told the Daily Caller News Foundation in an email, when asked whether it is preparing operational plans regarding Cuba.

Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime

One of the twisted brutes who livestreamed the racist torture of a white disabled man nearly a decade ago is back behind bars for chasing down and mugging a cyclist, according to police.

Tesfaye Cooper, 30 — who spent roughly seven years in prison for terrorizing and beating a mentally disabled man in Chicago in 2017 — was arrested on April 8 for allegedly beating up the cyclist and stealing his bike with an accomplice, CWB Chicago reported.

Cooper and Mazi Pearson, 33, are accused of shouting “GDs!” — or Gangster Disciples!” — before chasing the victim into a train station, punching and spitting at him, police told the station.

In 2017, Cooper, who is black, and three other accomplices live-streamed the horrific hate crime on Facebook in which they bound, gagged and cut the special-needs man with a knife.

In the video, someone is heard urging the victim to say, “I love black people” and “F–k Donald Trump, n—a, f–k white people!” (Read more from “Racist Monster who Livestreamed Torture of White Disabled Man is Back Behind Bars for Another Crime” HERE)

String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges

The deaths or disappearances of 11 top US scientists and researchers is a matter of urgent national importance, a member of the House Oversight Committee insisted Friday.

Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.) said his office had already been eyeing some of the “too coincidental” disappearances a year before President Trump told reporters Thursday that he had ordered an investigation.

The lawmaker argued the fate of the scientists is almost “certainly” linked to the access some had to classified aerospace, defense and UFO information — and may involve bad actors from China, Russia or Iran.

“This is a rallying call to pay attention to this issue and make sure that our nation’s top scientists are safe and secure,” Burlison told “Fox & Friends.”

“This is too coincidental, and so we have to be investigating this. We need to have our nation’s top investigators, the FBI and every agency looking into this matter.” (Read more from “String of Missing or Dead Scientists ‘too Coincidental’ not to be Major Concern, Congressman Says — as 11th Mystery Emerges” HERE)

How Justin Fairfax’s ‘Toxic’ Home Life Cruelly Victimized His ‘Gifted’ Teen Kids Before Murder-Suicide

Ex-Va. Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax and wife Cerina’s teen children were blessed from birth with sharp intellects and impressive athletic prowess, but for years suffered under the crushing weight of their parents’ toxic marriage and a father whose life and mental state were in freefall.

Court documents describe Cameron, 16, and his kid sister Carys, 14, as “hard-working” students who “perform to high academic standards” at top-notch private schools.

Both are also “gifted athletes” who play on school and travel teams – Cameron is the captain of Gonzaga College High School’s basketball team, while Carys is a stand-out athlete at St. Paul VI High School, where she plays varsity lacrosse.

Cerina, 49, had been the children’s primary caregiver their entire lives – their “port in the storm” as their parents’ marriage slowly fell apart, the documents state, noting their particularly “tight bond” with their dentist mother.

But while the teens were excelling in every aspect of their lives, a malevolent force was simmering inside their father as his political career and personal life hit the skids following multiple accusations of sexual assault.

VIDEO — Report: California Offers Breast Implants to Homeless Transgender Illegals

Illegal aliens in California’s homeless shelters are reportedly getting transgender surgeries, and taxpayers are footing the bill.

A whistleblower recently alerted the City Journal’s Christopher Rufo and Jonathan Choe about the illegals in San Francisco shelters, and when the tip was followed up, it was discovered the shelters were housing not just illegals, but “transgender” illegals, the outlet reported Wednesday.

The pair went to St. Vincent De Paul’s MSC-South facility, noting in the article it signed a $66 million service contract with the city in 2024. A worker confirmed illegals were housed there, and they spoke with two male residents from Honduras who identify as transgender, one of whom was named Lyca.

Lyca confirmed his illegal status and claimed he received cross-sex hormone therapy under the state’s medical program.

At another shelter, they spoke to a man who also identified as a transgender woman named Jacqueline. He claimed he was a lawful resident of the U.S.:

Wearing rouge on his cheeks and a low-cut red shirt, Jacqueline flaunted his large chest. He said that he had gotten transgender hormone treatments, and confirmed that he had received breast implants from the state Medi-Cal program. Though Jacqueline claimed to be a legal resident, he suggested that the state also provides implants to illegal immigrants. “Even though you’re undocumented,” he said, “you can get them.”

VIDEO: White House Investigating Disappearances, Deaths of U.S. Scientists with Access to Classified Information

The White House is investigating the reported deaths and disappearances of multiple U.S. scientists and government employees who had access to classified nuclear and space information.

When asked about the issue and if the cases were connected, President Donald Trump said Thursday, “I hope it’s random, but we’re going to know in the next week and a half. I just left a meeting on that subject. Pretty serious stuff,” Live Now Fox reported.

One of the cases was 68-year-old retired Air Force Maj. General William “Neil” McCasland, who vanished in February from his family home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to Fox News.

During his career, McCasland oversaw advanced and highly classified research programs for the military. When he disappeared, he left his phone but his wallet and a .38-caliber revolver were nowhere to be found, the outlet continued:

The general previously had said he was experiencing what he described as a “mental fog,” according to investigators, but authorities stressed there was no indication he was disoriented at the time of his disappearance.

“Arguably, he would still be the most intelligent person in the room,” Albuquerque police Lt. Kyle Wood said March 16.

Tucker Carlson Prompts Theological ‘Firestorm’ for Claiming ‘Muslims Love Jesus’

The Tucker Carlson Network (TCN) prompted intense theological debate Tuesday for an X post claiming Muslims love and revere Jesus Christ, which came a day before Carlson said President Donald Trump is acting like the Antichrist. . .

The post suggested the Islamic reverence for Jesus is what prompted Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to condemn Trump’s Truth Social post from Sunday, which depicted him as a Christ-like figure with light emanating from his hands. Trump deleted the meme following outrage, claiming he believed the AI-generated image was him as “a doctor.”

TCN’s post linked to the Tuesday edition of Carlson’s morning newsletter, which contrasted Islam’s supposed views of Jesus with that of “other religions,” referencing a clip of Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro dismissing Him as “a Jew who tried to lead a revolt against the Romans and got killed for his trouble.”

The post was met with pushback from many X users, including some figures who have generally been supportive of Carlson.

Calvin Robinson, a cleric in the English Catholic Church in North America who was a recurring guest on Carlson’s Fox News program, suggested his characterization of Islam failed to take into account that Christians are severely persecuted in many parts of the Muslim world . . .

The Wednesday edition of TCN’s morning newsletter acknowledged the “firestorm” set off by the previous day’s edition, but suggested Americans are generally ill-informed about Islam and the Muslim world, which [Tucker] maintained was “no accident.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Prompts Theological ‘Firestorm’ for Claiming ‘Muslims Love Jesus’” HERE)

The Buying and Selling Body Parts: Women are now Using Cadavers for Boob Jobs

Across the country, women are embracing a buzzed-about injectable filler made from donated cadaver fat — yes, that’s tissue from dead bodies — to fill in, smooth over and enhance their shape. . . 

With limited long-term data, questions remain about whether the injected, pre-dead material could lead to fat necrosis, or the death of fatty tissue.
“If you take a patient’s own fat, the potential of having dead fat is pretty small, but it’s not zero,” said [a leading plastic surgeon, Dr. Tommaso] Addona, who has performed more than 10,000 breast cases. “I don’t know what the potential of this fat not surviving is.”

If the filler fails to integrate in the breast, it could potentially form oil cysts or calcifications that show up as hard, suspicious masses on imaging like mammograms — potentially triggering false alarms for cancer. . .

Made by Tiger Aesthetics, the injectable is billed as the “first structural adipose tissue designed for aesthetic body procedures, providing cushioning, volume and support,” according to its website. Sterilized and stripped of DNA from the deceased donor, the filler is said to preserve fat’s natural 3D honeycomb structure, “retaining the innate architecture of adipocytes (cells that store energy as fat) to provide immediate volume at the application site.” (Read more from “The Buying and Selling Body Parts: Women are now Using Cadavers for Boob Jobs” HERE)

Trump Sides With Deep State, Signals Intent To Preserve Spy Tool That Snarled His First Term

President Donald Trump signaled a willingness Wednesday to extend a hotly debated surveillance tool while also commenting that he would willingly surrender his rights and privileges to do so.

The president posted on Truth Social that he was working with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, along with House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rick Crawford, on extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The post comes as Republicans’ infighting grows over the provision between Johnson and several members of the Rules committee.

“I am asking Republicans to UNIFY, and vote together on the test vote to bring a clean Bill to the floor. We need to stick together when this Bill comes before the House Rules Committee today to keep it CLEAN,” Trump wrote.

Trump also pointed to former FBI Director James Comey, saying that he used FISA Title I as part of his investigation into Russian Collusion in the president’s 2016 campaign. He then added that he would be willing to surrender part of his own rights for the section.

“I am willing to risk the giving up of my Rights and Privileges as a Citizen for our Great Military and Country! Our Military Patriots desperately need FISA 702, and it is one of the reasons we have had such tremendous SUCCESS on the battlefield,” Trump wrote.
