Iranian Supreme Leader Emerges From Hiding To Declare Victory Over Israel

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, announced the Islamic Republic won the twelve-day war between Iran and Israel in his first public comments since the cease-fire Thursday.

Khamenei released the pre-recorded statement after President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire Monday, signaling that Iran considers the war concluded by declaring victory.

He remained in hiding during the war, according to the Associated Press. He was sheltered in a “secret location,” the outlet reported.

“I extend my congratulations to the great Iranian nation for its victory over the Zionist entity,” Khamenei said, as translated by the Hindustan Times. “Despite all the claims and hype, the Zionist entity was almost crushed and collapsed in the face of the Islamic Republic strikes.”

Khamenei continued by thanking God, whom he claimed aided Iran’s forces “as they penetrated the advanced multi-layered Zionist defenses and raised many of their civilian and military sites to the ground.” (Read more from “Iranian Supreme Leader Emerges From Hiding To Declare Victory Over Israel” HERE)

Hamas Is Preparing Attacks on American Contractors Helping Distribute Aid in Gaza

Hamas is surveilling and preparing to attack American contractors working for the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, according to a source familiar with the group’s operations.

A senior Trump administration official confirmed that threats from Hamas against the contractors are a growing concern.

“While the GHF has so far provided upwards of 40 million meals, Hamas is threatening violence — this time to humanitarian workers, which includes Americans, at the GHF sites themselves,” the official told The Daily Wire.

Concerns about a potential Hamas attack come after Hamas assassinated around a dozen Palestinian GHF workers earlier this month while they were taking a bus to aid distribution sites ahead of their first day of work. Seriously injured survivors were reportedly denied treatment at Nasser Hospital, according to GHF.

The senior official warned that Hamas should “be careful not to miscalculate.” (Read more from “Hamas Is Preparing Attacks on American Contractors Helping Distribute Aid in Gaza” HERE)

CNN’s Kate Bolduan Insists Network Did Nothing Wrong in Reporting Trump’s Iran Strike. the Records Say That Is a Lie

CNN’s Kate Bolduan insisted Thursday that the network’s coverage did not omit key details on the U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites despite the fact that CNN only added certain details after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth chastised them Wednesday.

The network, led by former Politico reporter Natasha Betrand, published an article Tuesday about the leaked Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report, highlighting the fact that the report said the U.S. bombing campaign only set Iran’s nuclear program back a few months.

However, the CNN article did not initially include the fact that the DIA made the assessment with “low confidence” based on satellite imagery of the underground nuclear facilities.

CNN updated its article to include the low confidence element after Hegseth blasted them for it.

“The instinct of CNN, the instinct of The New York Times is to try and find a way to spin it for their own political reasons to try to hurt President Trump or our country,” Hegseth said during a Wednesday press conference at the NATO summit in the Netherlands.

Supreme Court Allows State to Defund Planned Parenthood

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that South Carolina is allowed to block Medicaid funding from going to Planned Parenthood clinics in the state.

The case was brought by Planned Parenthood South Atlantic and a Medicaid patient after South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) signed an executive order in 2018 seeking to exclude the abortion giant from its Medicaid program. The abortion organization argued the order violated federal law and contended that Medicaid patients had a right to sue the state under Section 1983, part of the Civil Right Act of 1871, to choose their own qualified healthcare provider.

The Supreme Court issued a 6-3 decision disagreeing with Planned Parenthood’s arguments and siding with South Carolina, essentially allowing the state to defund Planned Parenthood after being blocked from doing so for years by lower courts.

“Section 1983 permits private plaintiffs to sue for violations of federal spending-power statutes only in ‘atypical’ situations … where the provision in question ‘clear[ly]’ and ‘unambiguous[ly]’ confers an individual ‘right,’” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion, adding that the law in question “is not such a statute.”

“After all, the decision whether to let private plaintiffs enforce a new statutory right poses delicate questions of public policy,” Gorsuch continued. “New rights for some mean new duties for others. And private enforcement actions, meritorious or not, can force governments to direct money away from public services and spend it instead on litigation. The job of resolving how best to weigh those competing costs and benefits belongs to the people’s elected representatives, not unelected judges charged with applying the law as they find it.” (Read more from “Supreme Court Allows State to Defund Planned Parenthood” HERE)

Socialist Mamdani Wants to Spend Million$ On Sex Changes for Minors

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to spend $65 million on sex change drugs and surgeries for minors and adults if elected.

Mamdani’s campaign website says his administration would “protect gender-affirming care immediately by investing $65 million in public providers to provide gender-affirming care to New Yorkers who seek it and will hold private entities abetting Trump’s attacks to account.”

Gender-affirming care is a euphemism used by transgender activists to hide the grotesque nature of sex change surgeries and drugs, which includes double mastectomies (the removal of healthy breasts), female and male genital mutilation and removal, facial feminization and masculinization, hormone treatments, and puberty blockers that can cause chemical sterilization.

“The Mamdani Administration will budget $65 million in funding to explicitly support and expand access to Gender Affirming Care (GAC) in NYC. It will direct $57 million to public hospitals, community clinics, federally qualified health centers, and nonprofits providing GAC,” the page reads. “In the face of the Trump administration’s proposed elimination of federal support for GAC and his threats to care for adults, this infusion will protect GAC access or both transgender youth and adults.”

The Grandfather of the Brilliant New Head of MI6 Was a Nazi Spy Chief

When Blaise Metreweli was announced as the next head of MI6 it was immediately apparent she had long been groomed for the top.

The woman set to become the first female spy chief in the agency’s 116-year history had all the right attributes. . .

From the age of 22, her name was only mentioned in public when receiving honours ‘for services to British foreign policy’ and in a civil service notice documenting a bland economics posting to Dubai. Despite entering her 20s in the Wild West early days of social media, there is no trace of her online. . .

Archives in Germany reveal that the woman who from September will take charge of the nation’s secrets is the granddaughter of a notorious Nazi collaborator who spied and killed for Adolf Hitler’s Germany.

We can disclose that Ms Metreweli’s grandfather was Constantine Dobrowolski, a Ukrainian dubbed ‘The Butcher’ who defected from the Red Army to become the Fatherland’s chief informant in the region of Chernihiv in Ukraine.

Why Each New Controversy Around Sam Altman’s OpenAI Is Crazier Than the Last

Last week, two independent nonprofits, the Midas Project and the Tech Oversight Project, released after a year’s worth of investigation a massive file that collects and presents evidence for a panoply of deeply suspect actions, mainly on the part of Altman but also attributable to OpenAI as a corporate entity.

It’s damning stuff — so much so that, if you’re only acquainted with the hype and rumors surrounding the company or perhaps its ChatGPT product, the time has come for you to take a deeper dive.

Most recently, iyO Audio alleged OpenAI made attempts at wholesale design theft and outright trademark infringement. A quick look at other recent headlines suggests an alarming pattern:

Altman is said to have claimed no equity in OpenAI despite backdoor investments through Y Combinator, among others;

Altman owns 7.5% of Reddit, which, after its still-expanding partnership with OpenAI, shot Altman’s net worth up $50 million;

OpenAI is reportedly restructuring its corporate form yet again — with a 7% stake, Altman stands to be $20 billion dollars richer under the new structure;

Former OpenAI executives, including Muri Murati, the Amodei siblings, and Ilya Sutskever, all confirm pathological levels of mistreatment and behavioral malfeasance on the part of Altman.

The list goes on. Many other serious transgressions are cataloged in the OpenAI Files excoriation. At the time of this writing, Sam Altman and/or OpenAI have been the subject of no less than eight serious, high-stakes lawsuits. Accusations include everything from incestual sexual abuse to racketeering, breach of contract, and copyright infringement.

Trump Accuses Democrats of Leaking Intel Assessment of Iran Strikes: ‘They Should Be Prosecuted!’

President Trump claimed Thursday that congressional Democrats leaked a preliminary Pentagon intelligence assessment that questioned the impact of Saturday’s airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear program.

“The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

It’s unclear if Trump has evidence pointing to a culprit as the FBI investigates the Tuesday leak of the Defense Intelligence Agency assessment drafted shortly after the strike that said Iran’s nuclear development may only have been set back months.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said shortly before Trump’s claim that Democrats in Congress may have been responsible — though she described no specific evidence and said no conclusions had been made.

“It could have been someone in the intelligence community, or it could have been someone on Capitol Hill who had access to this document. The FBI is searching for that person,” Leavitt told reporters. (Read more from “Trump Accuses Democrats of Leaking Intel Assessment of Iran Strikes: ‘They Should Be Prosecuted!’” HERE)

Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak

The Trump administration will limit the sharing of classified information with Congress in the wake of a high-profile document leak, the White House has confirmed to the Washington Examiner.

President Donald Trump maintains that last week’s Iran strikes totally obliterated that country’s nuclear program, but his claim has been undermined by a leaked internal document suggesting the nuclear program was set back by only a few months.

Trump’s White House has responded to the leak with a full-court press, pushing back furiously against the reports, opening investigations into the leak, personally attacking the reporters involved, and now limiting how much information it shares with Congress.

A White House spokesperson also pointed to statements press secretary Karoline Leavitt made Wednesday afternoon about an FBI investigation into the matter.

“I am told by the FBI that the leak already is being investigated, and it absolutely should be,” she said on Fox News. “Because this was a top secret intelligence analysis that very few people in the United States government had access to see.” (Read more from “Trump Will Limit Sharing of Classified Information With Congress After Iran Bombing Document Leak” HERE)
