US Issues Final Threat to Ships That Violate Iran Blockade: ‘We will use force’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The US military broadcasted a final warning to ships that they would be subject to the force of the “whole of the United States Navy” if they violated the full blockade of Iran’s ports, according to newly released audio.

The message, uploaded on social media by US Central Command, warned of severe consequences to all vessels attempting to enter or leave the Islamic republic’s ports as part of the American blockade that went into effect on Monday morning.

“The US has announced a formal blockade of Iranian ports and coastal areas. This is illegal action,” the military said in the broadcast.

“All vessels are advised to immediately return to port if leaving and discontinue transit to Iran,” CENTCOM added. “Do not attempt to breach the blockade.

“Vessels will be boarded for interdiction and seizure transiting to or from Iranian ports. Turn around and prepare to be boarded. (Read more from “US Issues Final Threat to Ships That Violate Iran Blockade: ‘We will use force’” HERE)

Chinese oil tanker’s retreat from the Strait of Hormuz shows how Trump’s blockade is working

By New York Post. A sanctioned Chinese oil tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz — then was forced to double back and return to Iran after President Trump blockaded the vital shipping lane, according to ship tracking data.

The aborted voyage of the Rich Starry — a Malawi-flagged, Chinese-owned tanker that was blacklisted by the US in 2023 — shows how the US Navy successfully blocked the flow of ships carrying Iranian oil.

Since the war began, most vessels that have traveled out of the Strait of Hormuz have been loaded with Iranian exports — giving the cash-strapped regime vital funds.

So far, the US blockade on the eastern side of the Strait in the Gulf of Oman has stopped at least five ships from heading out into the open ocean, according to the trade analysis firm Kpler.

Iran has stifled nearly all other traffic through Hormuz, which previously carried 20% of the world’s oil, by threatening to attack tankers that don’t pay a ransom. (Read more from “Chinese oil tanker’s retreat from the Strait of Hormuz shows how Trump’s blockade is working” HERE)

‘Nail In The Coffin’: MTG Says Trump Blamed Her For Death Threats Against Her Children

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene alleged Wednesday that President Donald Trump responded without compassion when she raised concerns about escalating death threats against her and her children.

Greene made the allegation during an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” where she detailed her break with Trump and criticized his recent political rhetoric. Greene said she contacted Trump and other senior officials after receiving a surge of threats she linked to political attacks against her.

“The death threats escalated on one of my children, and I had sent those death threats to the FBI Director Kash Patel. I sent them to the Vice President JD Vance, Susie Wiles, James Blair, and I even texted the president, and I was so upset over death threats on my children because of him. And you know, the quotes in the death threat were from what the president had been calling me, a traitor. And I’m not a traitor to my country,” Greene said. “Standing up for rape victims doesn’t make me a traitor. And I reached out to the president to let him know this is what’s happening because [of] what you’re saying about me, and he was very unkind about these death threats. And so that was our last exchange, was on text message.”

Greene added that Trump responded without sympathy and placed responsibility for the threats on her.

“He basically blamed me. He had no compassion for death threats on my children. He blamed me, basically, that if my son were to get killed, it would be my fault,” Greene said. “I said back to him, I said, ‘No one’s children should ever be the victim of death threats or have any kind of political violence brought on them because of our politics, because of our disagreements.’” (Read more from “‘Nail In The Coffin’: MTG Says Trump Blamed Her For Death Threats Against Her Children” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A courageous Michigan gas station clerk helped save a teenage girl who was abducted by a gun-toting stranger with a history of rape allegations while walking to her school bus stop.

The creep kidnapped the 16-year-old girl at gunpoint just after 7 a.m. Monday in Hamtramck, while she was waiting for her school bus, Hamtramck Police Department Chief Hussein Farhat told WXYZ.

Roughly 30 minutes later, the unidentified suspect brought the girl to a Sunoco gas station, where he asked for cigarettes and told the terrified teen to pay for them, the outlet reported.

“When he ask her to pay for the cigarettes, I stop and go there’s something wrong. And she mouthed talked to me, like with no sound, ‘help,’” store clerk Abdulrahman Abohatem told the local station.

Abohatem then heroically came out from behind the protective glass and confronted the man — kicking him out and ushering the kidnapped teen behind him. (Read more from “Gas Station Clerk Saves 16-year-old Girl Abducted by Stranger After She Mouthed ‘Help’” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Nebraska police fatally shot a woman who slashed a toddler after leading the child out of a Walmart at knifepoint in an alleged kidnapping, according to cops and body-worn camera images.

Cops responded to a Walmart in Omaha just after 9:10 a.m. for reports of a woman armed with a “large kitchen knife” who had a young child, according to the Omaha Police Department.

Surveillance footage caught the woman, later identified as 31-year-old Noemi Guzman, shoplifting the knife from the store and approaching a 3-year-old boy and his guardian in an aisle, police said.

Guzman was seen brandishing the knife and forcing the female shopper to walk ahead of the cart as the child remained inside it. She then terrifyingly led them through the store and into the parking lot, cops added.

The knife-wielding woman “took possession of the child, essentially kidnapping the child,” Deputy Chief Scott Gray said at a press conference. (Read more from “Police Fatally Shoot Woman Seen Slashing Toddler She Kidnapped from Walmart” HERE)

Kristi and Bryon Noem Took on Millions in Debt Leading up to Cross-Dressing Husband’s Fetish Model Splurge

/0 Comments/in , /by

Kristi Noem and her cross-dressing husband, Bryon, borrowed millions of dollars in the years leading up to the latter’s eye-popping spending on “bimbo” OnlyFans models, a financial disclosure shows.

The couple listed between $2,600,000 and $3,250,000 in debts dating back to 2020 on a federal financial disclosure filed by the fired Homeland Security secretary last year.

Five of the six loans were obtained by Bryon for his car wash and insurance businesses, according to the filing.

The only loan listed as a “joint” one was a 2020 mortgage valued between $100,001 – $250,000.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Bryon, a father of three, had been leading a double-life while Kristi served in the Trump administration – spending tens of thousands of dollars to chat-up kinky OnlyFans models as he donned massive fake breasts.

Report: Iran Executions Hit Three-Decade High

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two European non-governmental organizations (NGOs) published a report this week that found Iran conducted 1,639 executions in 2025 — an increase of 68 percent over the previous year, and the largest number of executions since 1989.

The report was the latest edition of the “Annual Report on the Death Penalty in Iran” prepared by Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Together Against the Death Penalty (EPCM), which are based in Norway and France, respectively. The report has been produced every year since 2012.

The two groups are generally opposed to the death penalty, but find Iran’s practices to be particularly objectionable, as the Islamic regime is usually “ranked first worldwide in executions per capita” — it sometimes takes second place after China — and has a much lower threshold for capital punishment than most other nations.

In her forward to the report, human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh said the “worst form of execution” practiced by Iran are its political killings, which are often carried out at the behest of bloodthirsty pressure groups.

“This is precisely why death sentences should never be issued under the influence of public opinion,” she said. (Read more from “Report: Iran Executions Hit Three-Decade High” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) report shows that a bullet jacket from a .30 caliber round was found during the autopsy of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, and the next day, Breitbart News reported that FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls indicated that law enforcement recovered the rifle they believed was used in the shooting.

Bohls described the firearm as a “high-power, bolt-action rifle.”

The New York Post noted that the rifle was a “30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle.” A .30.06 has long been a popular big-game hunting round in the U.S., and it is in the .30 caliber classification.

The ATF report says that during Kirk’s autopsy, a “.30-caliber class deformed/damaged bullet jacket fragment and four lead fragments” were found. (Read more from “ATF: Bullet Jacket from .30 Caliber Round Found in Charlie Kirk’s Autopsy” HERE)

Trump Ally Suspends Defense Agreement With Israel After IDF Fired Warning Shots At Country’s Peacekeeping Convoy

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suspended the nation’s defense cooperation agreement with Israel amid the war with Iran.

Meloni spoke outside a wine industry event in Verona Tuesday, where she told reporters the Italian government “has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defense agreement with Israel in consideration of the current situation,” according to a Politico report.

The defense agreement was first established in 2003. It covers the transfer of military equipment and technology-related research between Italy and Israel’s armed forces, and it is set to automatically renew every five years, Politico reported.

The development comes amid rising tensions between Italy and Israel, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired warning shots at an Italian peacekeeping convoy in Lebanon on April 8, according to a Politico report.

“A logistics convoy of the Italian contingent, moving from Shama towards Beirut, was subjected to warning shots fired by the IDF about two kilometres from the base of departure,” the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, stated April 8. The peacekeepers were with UNIFIL, or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

Video Shows Oklahoma Principal Tackling School Shooter, Halting Attack

/1 Comment/in , /by

Newly released security camera footage shows the moment an Oklahoma principal was shot and injured as he tackled a former student who walked into school carrying a gun.

Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore has been hailed as a hero by state officials for stopping the April 7 shooting before students were hurt.

The footage, released Tuesday, April 14, shows a man walking into what appears to be a school lobby carrying a gun. At least two other people are in the lobby. Moore runs in and tackles him. A second school employee then walks in to help and takes the gun away from the man.

Moore was shot in the leg and survived.

The accused shooter, Victor Hawkins, is facing felony charges of shooting with intent to kill and pointing a firearm, as well as two misdemeanor counts of carrying a weapon into a public assembly. Investigators wrote in court filings that Hawkins, 20, told them he wanted his own school shooting “like the Columbine shooters did.” (Read more from “Video Shows Oklahoma Principal Tackling School Shooter, Halting Attack” HERE)
