Trump Mulls Punishing NATO Countries that didn’t Assist Iran War Effort: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is reportedly weighing a plan to punish NATO allies that refused to assist the US in the war with Iran.

Under the proposed plan, the Trump administration would pull US troops out of NATO countries that were unhelpful with Operation Epic Fury, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing Trump administration officials.

The plan is one of several being considered by the White House to punish members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, according to the outlet.

Trump has recently threatened to reassess US membership in NATO over the alliance’s lack of assistance with the Iran war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

“NATO WASN’T THERE WHEN WE NEEDED THEM, AND THEY WON’T BE THERE IF WE NEED THEM AGAIN,” Trump posted on Truth Social Wednesday night.

Common Pantry Staple Could Fight Deadly Disease Without Antibiotics, Study Suggests

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Cholera can quickly become life-threatening, but the best defense might be sitting in your pantry.

New research from UC Riverside in Southern California reveals that a high-protein diet can effectively “disarm” the bacteria, slash infection levels by 100-fold, and stop the disease in its tracks before it turns fatal.

Published in the journal Cell Host and Microbe, the study found that diets rich in casein, the main protein in milk and cheese, along with wheat gluten, could limit cholera bacteria in the gut.

Cholera is a bacterial disease spread through contaminated water and food, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease can cause severe diarrhea, dehydration and even death if it goes untreated.

The research team aimed to determine whether harmful bacteria would respond to dietary changes in the same way as other bacteria. (Read more from “Common Pantry Staple Could Fight Deadly Disease Without Antibiotics, Study Suggests” HERE)

A street sign was unveiled Tuesday night in Bridgeview, Illinois, recognizing the area as “Little Palestine,” according to ABC7 Chicago.

The area of 79th Street to 113th Street houses one of the largest Palestinian-American communities in the U.S., according to ABC7 Chicago. The area is also home to more than 200 Arab-owned businesses, according to CBS News Chicago.

Waseem Al-Wawi, co-owner of Milk Cake Bakery, said he is “proud” to be part of the “Little Palestine” community.

“As a Palestinian walking here in the Little Palestine area, seeing all these businesses, all these Palestinian businesses, you can find anything you want,” Al-Wawi told CBS News Chicago.

“There’s a big Palestinian community here, we’re very proud to be part of little Palestine here in Bridgeview,” he said.

Israel Pounds Lebanon Despite ‘Fragile’ Ceasefire

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israel unleashed a bombing campaign in Lebanon on Wednesday despite a recent ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated in an X post that it “completed the largest coordinated strike across Lebanon since the start of Operation Roaring Lion,” targeting Hezbollah headquarters, military arrays and command centers. President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly agreed that fighting in Lebanon could continue during a phone call in the lead-up to the ceasefire, Axios reported.

At least 89 people have been killed and more than 700 wounded in the strikes Wednesday, The Associated Press reported, citing Lebanese Health Ministry figures. More than 1,500 people have been killed since the conflict began in March, with another million displaced.

Hezbollah had stopped its attacks early Wednesday morning as the ceasefire took effect, Reuters reported, citing three Lebanese sources.

“Hezbollah was informed that it is part of the ceasefire – so we abided by it, but Israel as usual has violated it and committed massacres all across Lebanon,” senior Hezbollah lawmaker Ibrahim al-Moussawi, told Reuters. (Read more from “Israel Pounds Lebanon Despite ‘Fragile’ Ceasefire” HERE)

Woman Charged With Sending Classified Army Info To Journalist

/0 Comments/in , /by

Federal authorities arrested and charged a former military support employee Tuesday, accusing her of knowingly funneling classified information to a journalist over a period of years.

Agents arrested 40-year-old Courtney Williams of Wagram, N.C. A federal grand jury later indicted her for violating the Espionage Act after transmitting sensitive national defense information to unauthorized recipients, according to the press release. Prosecutors say Williams, who once held a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance, disclosed protected material despite repeated training and explicit legal warnings.

Williams worked with a Special Military Unit from 2010 to 2016, where she had daily access to highly classified operations, tactics, and intelligence, according to court filings. As part of her role, she signed a nondisclosure agreement acknowledging that any unauthorized release of such material could trigger criminal prosecution.

Investigators allege that between 2022 and 2025, Williams maintained sustained contact with a journalist, exchanging more than 180 messages and logging over 10 hours of phone conversations. In those communications, prosecutors say, she shared details that later appeared in published reporting and a book—some of which contained classified national defense information. The journalist identified Williams as a source and attributed statements directly to her.

Authorities also allege that Williams compounded the breach by posting sensitive information on social media. Senior national security officials said the case is a stark example of insider risk.

Professor Of Islamic Civilization Says ‘Get Over It’ To Concerns About Rape Gang Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Georgetown University professor is under fire for telling people who share concerns about Muslim “rape gangs” to “get over it.”

Professor Jonathan A. C. Brown, chair of Islamic Civilization at Georgetown, posted the dismissive remark twice on X in response to users discussing a link between Islam and an escalating crisis of rape gangs in the United Kingdom, archived versions of the now-deleted posts show.

One post by Independent Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe reads: “There is a link between the rape gangs and one particular religion – we have seen it again and again and again at our inquiry. That religion is Islam. As a country, we must have the courage to face up to that fact.”

Brown responded to Lowe’s post with “get over it.” When another user said Brown’s comment was “absurdly evil,” the professor repeated the cold remark, writing “Get over it” a second time.

NASA’s Moon Mission is a Massive Media Failure, Inexplicably Feeds Conspiracy Theories

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . . NASA’s team of geniuses has been unable to find a way to send any decent cameras on the Artemis II mission. Or if they did, they weren’t used. The Astronauts had their iPhones with them, which was a good idea, so presumably they could have just pointed them out the window and then tweeted the result. If they did that, NASA chose not to highlight most of their pictures. You won’t see many astronaut selfies going viral.

Instead of an endless stream of cool videos and photos of our planet as Orion left, NASA has released THREE photos that their crew took of the Earth. . .

NASA will now mumble excuses about why they can’t get any good pictures, and then throw in some technical jargon about why the mission was important to science despite how boring it looked. They’ll say it matters because it sets up future missions. Doubtless, those missions will also be unable to do basic photography and social media marketing. . . 

Later space footage of [Artemis II] separating was grainy and hard to make out. By the way, when SpaceX has done launches like this, their videos of the rocket are always pristine and beautiful. You see it all. Somehow, despite billions in tax dollars, that’s not something that can be accomplished by NASA.

When the mission arrived at the moon a few days later, we watched the flyby live feed, which largely consisted of two women sitting in front of the camera spinning word salad and occasionally explaining why we can’t see anything. When Orion came around the dark side of the moon and returned to contact with Earth, we still saw nothing. While looking at nothing, we had to sit through a crew member reading a boring, grandiose, pre-prepared speech.

Alex Jones Calls for Removing Trump from Office: ‘How Do We 25th Amendment His Ass?’

/64 Comments/in , , /by

By People. President Donald Trump is facing backlash from a once-outspoken supporter amid his escalating threats against Iran.

During the Monday, April 6, episode of his self-titled show, longtime MAGA ally and right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked against Trump.

The 25th Amendment lays out a process by which Vice President JD Vance and the majority of Trump’s Cabinet could declare the president “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office” and involuntarily remove him from power. In that instance, Vance would be elevated to acting president, and if Trump challenged the move, Congress could make the final decision.

During the episode of The Alex Jones Show, guest and former attorney Robert Barnes shared his belief that “Trump has lost his mind.”

“I mean literally, what we should do is have Vice President Vance tackle him, take him to the basement of the White House, that new bunker they’re building under the ballroom,” Barnes said. (Read more from “Alex Jones Calls for Removing Trump from Office: ‘How Do We 25th Amendment His Ass?’” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene joins left-wing calls for the 25th amendment as Iran deadline nears

By Fox News. Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

“25TH AMENDMENT!!! Not a single bomb has dropped on America. We cannot kill an entire civilization. This is evil and madness,” Greene wrote on X.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.

Greene’s post featured a screenshot of Trump’s Tuesday Truth Social post in which he ominously warned that Iran’s “civilization will die tonight.”

Tucker Carlson Rages at Trump Over Easter Tirade: ‘Who Do You Think You Are?’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Tucker Carlson slammed President Donald Trump on Monday, a day after the president fired off a profanity-laced threat against Iran.

Trump has grown increasingly frustrated amid his ongoing war with Iran, which responded to U.S. and Israeli bombardment by restricting travel through the vital Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. On Easter, the president took to Truth Social to deliver an ultimatum.

“Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” he wrote. “There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F*ckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.”

Carlson, who opposes the war, was irked by Trump’s f-bomb, but took particular umbrage at the president’s “Praise be to Allah” dig:

Artemis II Reports Strange ‘Squiggles’ and Unexpected Shades of Green on the Moon

/0 Comments/in , /by

The four astronauts on NASA’s Artemis II mission to the Moon shared fresh descriptions of the Moon, noting its winding features dubbed “squiggles” and its surprising shades of green and brown.

Communication ceased at the conclusion of a 6-hour pass during which the crew made history simply by gazing through their windows, becoming the first people to witness the far side of the Moon firsthand. Contact was restored after an intense 40 minutes without radio transmission for the first time in 50 years. Moments before this groundbreaking achievement, their observations seemingly caught them off guard.

Geometric markings carved into the landscape, winding features the crew dubbed “squiggles,” and a surprising array of greens and browns were among the sights that met NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover and Christina Koch and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen as their Orion capsule sailed over territory no person had previously observed up close. . .

Before communications ceased, Glover delivered what proved to be an appropriate send-off, referencing the teachings of Jesus, including the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, before concluding with a phrase that held dual significance.

“We will see you on the other side,” he said. (Read more from “Artemis II Reports Strange ‘Squiggles’ and Unexpected Shades of Green on the Moon” HERE)
