Trump Warns Iran: Make Nuclear Deal or Face ‘Far Worse’ Attack as ‘Massive Armada’ Nears — ‘Time Is Running Out’

/21 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump warned Wednesday that “a massive armada” led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is moving toward Iran and that the regime’s “time is running out” to make a nuclear deal — or face a U.S. strike far worse than the one carried out last summer.

Writing on Truth Social, Trump said the armada is “moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose,” describing it as a larger fleet than the force previously sent to Venezuela and one “ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary.”

Trump urged Tehran to “come to the table” and negotiate a deal, warning that time is “truly of the essence,” and making clear that failure to do so would bring severe consequences.

The warning explicitly referenced past military action. Trump said Iran ignored an earlier demand to make a deal, which was followed by “Operation Midnight Hammer,” adding that “the next attack will be far worse.”

Operation Midnight Hammer refers to the June 22, 2025 U.S. strikes at the end of the 12-day war, when B-2 bombers dropped 12 GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators — bunker-buster bombs — on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility, while a U.S. submarine fired 30 Tomahawk missiles at the Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites.

California Man Admits Funding ISIS and Stockpiling Explosive Device

/12 Comments/in , /by

A Long Beach man pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges for sending a dozen payments to suspected members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, a designated foreign terrorist organization, and for illegally possessing a homemade bomb.

Mark Lorenzo Villanueva, 29, pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Villanueva has been in federal custody since August 2025.

According to his plea agreement, Villanueva began communicating in February 2025 over a social media messaging platform with an individual who represented himself to be an ISIS fighter living in Syria. This individual told Villanueva how to send him money in Syria.

Based on these instructions, Villanueva sent more than $1,600 with the understanding that the money would be spent on ammunition, weapons, and other supplies for ISIS to conduct operations. Villanueva also discussed conducting operations for ISIS in the United States. (Read more from “California Man Admits Funding ISIS and Stockpiling Explosive Device” HERE)

Alex Pretti Appears to Spit at ICE, Kick Out Tail Light in Previous Minneapolis Confrontation Before He Was Shot by Border Patrol

/6 Comments/in , /by

Harrowing new footage shows Alex Pretti armed, spitting at federal immigration officers and smashing the taillights of their black SUV during a chaotic clash more than a week before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.

The video, which the BBC said it has verified, captured the ICU nurse yelling at agents while they were driving away during a heated Jan. 13 protest before booting the back of the car, prompting them to jump out and tackle him to the ground, according to footage from The News Movement.

The man — who was wearing similar clothing in the video to what Pretti had on when he was fatally shot last Saturday — was taken to the ground by at least five agents, who deployed tear gas into the whistle-blowing crowd during the wild confrontation.

The horde of agents continued to hold him down until he retreated and joined the raucous crowd in shouting at the agents — with a gun visibly tucked into the back of his pants.

Homeland Security Investigations is “reviewing” the newest footage of the 37-year-old’s apparent prior brush with federal agents, the Department of Homeland Security told The Post.

“There’s something horrible, horrible going on in our country right now. And we have one of the greatest countries — had one of the greatest countries in the world.”

The actress addressed her fand and followers and said, “We are human beings, and we cannot forget our humanity, but right now this is a fascist government.”

She asserted, “Right now this is a fascist government. It’s not becoming a fascist government. It is a fascist government. And ICE is brutalizing people.” (Read more from “Actress Molly Ringwald Claims Trump Supporters Will Be Found Guilty Of Treason” HERE)

Mayor Says He’s Coordinating With Other Cities’ Leaders To Thwart ICE

/1 Comment/in , /by

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson admitted Wednesday he was “in regular communication” with other mayors leading so-called “sanctuary cities” in efforts to impede enforcement of federal immigration laws.

President Donald Trump called for an end to “sanctuary cities” in a post on Truth Social Monday, following a series of shootings, two of them fatal, that took place in Minneapolis involving Department of Homeland Security personnel engaged in immigration enforcement operations. Johnson said during a press conference at the National Press Club he’d been talking with Democratic Mayors Jacob Frey of Minneapolis and Michelle Wu of Boston about how to combat United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

“To respond to the operation in Chicago, I leaned heavily on other cities’ responses, like Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass shared her experience governing while the city was in Trump’s crosshairs,” Johnson said. “We’ve been in regular communication both at the executive level and the staff level with cities like Minneapolis and Portland, Oakland, Boston, and Denver and Baltimore to learn from each other’s experiences and develop strategies to protect our constituents.”

The fatal shootings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti took place during confrontations connected to “rapid-response” networks seeking to thwart ICE operations. Such groups monitor ICE vehicles, share the locations of ICE officers and summon mobs to confront agents as they try to arrest illegal aliens with criminal records, sometimes resulting in physical altercations, Fox News Digital reported.

The shooting of Pretti, who had a concealed carry permit, is under investigation, with two Border Patrol agents involved in the shooting being placed on administrative leave. Video shot by bystanders appeared to contradict initial statements made by Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem regarding the incident, including apparently showing one Border Patrol agent in possession of Pretti’s gun before the shots were fired.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced the arrests of 16 individuals in Minnesota for allegedly rioting and assaulting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, including a Somali immigrant who recently went viral for saying that “being Somali isn’t just eating bananas with rice.”

“I am on the ground in Minneapolis today. Federal agents have arrested 16 Minnesota rioters for allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement — people who have been resisting and impeding our federal law enforcement agents,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X:

We expect more arrests to come. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nothing will stop President Trump and this Department of Justice from enforcing the law.

Among those arrested is 23-year-old Nasra Ahmed, a Somali American, who recently went viral online when, during a press conference, she said, “Being Somali isn’t just eating bananas with rice.”

“It’s like, it’s a, it’s a… it’s kind of like the bananas and rice,” Ahmed said. “It’s like that combination of banana and rice, but you, you, you’re gonna get what I mean.” (Read more from “Minnesota: DOJ Arrests 16 Anti-ICE Activists for Rioting, Including Viral ‘Bananas and Rice’ Somali Migrant” HERE)

Prime Pink Slips: Amazon to Cut 16,000 Corporate Jobs

/1 Comment/in , /by

Amazon announced Wednesday it will eliminate 16,000 corporate positions as part of an organizational restructuring aimed at reducing management layers and streamlining operations.

Bloomberg reports that Amazon announced Wednesday it will eliminate 16,000 corporate positions as part of an organizational restructuring. The job cuts represent part of a broader effort by the technology giant to remove bureaucratic obstacles and increase employee ownership across the company.

Beth Galetti, Amazon’s senior vice president of people experience and technology, disclosed the workforce reduction in a blog post on Wednesday. The company will provide affected US-based employees with a 90-day period to search for alternative positions within the organization. Those unable to secure new roles will receive severance packages and transition assistance.

Galetti emphasized the company’s commitment to organizational improvement, stating that Amazon has been working to strengthen its structure by reducing layers, increasing ownership, and removing bureaucracy. She also sought to reassure employees and stakeholders that the company does not plan to announce broad staff cuts every few months, though Amazon will continue to make adjustments as deemed necessary.

The latest round of layoffs brings Amazon’s total announced job cuts to 30,000 over a three-month period, following an initial wave of reductions in October. The scale of these cuts reflects Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy’s determination to address organizational concerns that emerged following a pandemic-era hiring surge that significantly expanded the company’s corporate workforce.

Years after his huffing arrest, “Little Rascals” star Bug Hall has traded in Hollywood for a quiet homesteading lifestyle.

The former child star, who identifies as “a radical Catholic extremist,” has moved his wife and five daughters to a small area near Mountain Home, Ark., reports the Daily Mail.

Hall, 40, told the outlet that he already gave up the money he made as a child actor and has taken “a vow of poverty.”

In accordance with his religious commitment, he donated all of his savings along with the majority of his material items, and plans to “maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible.”

“If there’s a financial need that comes up, I’ll go take some work or do an odd job, for cash to fulfill that need,” he explained.

As of Page Six’s reporting, the actor and his family currently reside in a campervan with a water well and a generator. (Read more from “‘Little Rascals’ star living off-the-grid in poverty as ‘Catholic extremist’ after arrest over huffing air duster cans” HERE)

Holocaust Museum Condemns Gov. Tim Walz’s Comments Comparing Minnesota Children to Anne Frank: ‘Deeply Offensive’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Holocaust Museum shared a statement in reaction to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz comparing the experience of children in Minnesota to that of Holocaust victim Anne Frank.

Walz, 61, made the comparison in a press conference held on Sunday, Jan. 25, following the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal officers.

“We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank,” Walz said towards the end of the press conference. “Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”

Anne Frank died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at age 15 after spending two years in hiding, one of six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust.

“Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish,” the museum wrote in a statement shared on X on Monday, Jan. 26. “Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges.”
