/0 Comments/in , , /by

Iran executed a 19-year-old champion wrestler in a public hanging Thursday along with two other people who were arrested during the brutal crackdown on anti-regime protesters in January.

Saleh Mohammadi, a rising star from Qom, was allegedly tortured to confess to the capital crime of waging war against God, with the teen executed without a fair trial, according to human rights groups.

“His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society,” Nima Far, a human rights activist and Iranian combat athlete, told Fox News.

Mohammadi, along with fellow protesters Mehdi Ghasemi and Saeed Davoudi, were accused of killing two police officers “with knives and swords” during the January protests, according to Iranian state media.

Despite appeals from the US, the protesters were found guilty and executed by Tehran. (Read more from “Iran Executes 19-year-old Champion Wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, Two Others in Horrific Public Hangings” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Recently released footage of Ghislaine Maxwell’s long-awaited congressional deposition has one top plastic surgeon wondering if that person is really the woman who once trafficked young girls for s– fiend Jeffrey Epstein, RadarOnline.com can reveal. . .

Beverly Hills board-certified plastic surgeon Michael Zarrabi is among them. He says side-by-side photo comparisons show “two completely different people” with “so many stark differences” between the images.

“You can see that the shape of the face has changed and the nose looks completely different,” he examined, before pointing out Maxwell’s eyelids appeared to be altered as well.

“Before, she had very heavy-set eyelids and a very low eyelid crease. And now it looks like she may have had plastic surgery of her upper eyelids.”

Zarabbi stressed if Maxwell’s new look isn’t from plastic surgery, there can be only one other option: “This is a completely different person.” (Read more from “Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Imposter’ Bombshell as Top Surgeon Claims Jailed Ex-Madam Is a ‘Completely Different Person’” HERE)

Rare Cause of Death Revealed for Newly Elected Mayor who Collapsed during Town Hall Meeting

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A newly elected Idaho mayor was killed by a rare cardiac complication he suffered during a town hall meeting, the coroner confirmed Thursday.

City of Nampa Mayor Rick Hogaboam, 47, collapsed mid-speech during the Treasure Valley Partnership in Eagle on Wednesday evening.

Eagle Mayor Brad Pike, a former firefighter, was the first to attempt CPR. A coalition of cops, fire crew and medics rushed to unsuccessfully treat Hogaboam. He died at the scene.

His death was caused by a cardiac tamponade, the Ada County coroner said.

The complication, typically found in two out of every 10,000 people, is the buildup of blood or fluid around the heart that prevents the muscles from pumping blood properly, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need to Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination (VIDEO)

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent said he and his team were blocked from continuing to investigate possible leads tied to the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, alleging federal agencies told them to halt their work despite unsolved questions.

Speaking on the Tucker Carlson Show following his resignation from the NCC, Kent said his office initially pursued leads related to possible foreign connections in the case, which fell within its mandate. But he said those efforts were curtailed.

“We were then told that, ‘Hey, you guys need to stop. You can’t work on this anymore,” Kent said.

Kirk, a prominent conservative figure and ally of President Donald Trump, was killed last September in a high-profile assassination that authorities have described as the act of a lone gunman on Utah Valley University’s campus. Kent said investigators were told to defer to state authorities in Utah and that federal agencies limited further inquiry.

“The FBI will say that they stopped that because they wanted to … turn everything over to the Utah State authorities,” Kent said, adding that officials characterized the case as a “slam dunk case.” (Read more from “Joe Kent Says He Was Told ‘You Need to Stop’ Investigating Charlie Kirk Assassination (VIDEO)” HERE)

Trump’s former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent under FBI investigation for sharing classified information: reports

By The Independent. The FBI has opened an investigation into Joe Kent, President Donald Trump’s former counterterrorism chief, who resigned from his post over opposition to the war in Iran, according to multiple news reports.

The bureau’s probe into Kent, who served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, pertains to allegations that he mishandled classified information, four unnamed sources familiar with the matter told Semafor on Wednesday.

The investigation began before he left the administration, sources said, with one characterizing it as having gone on for months.

It’s being handled by the bureau’s Criminal Division, a source told CBS News.

Taylor Budowich, a former deputy White House chief of staff, appeared to allude to the investigation shortly after Kent stepped down. He wrote on X that the ex-counterterrorism chief was “often at the center of national security leaks.” (Read more from “Trump’s former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent under FBI investigation for sharing classified information: reports” HERE)

Megyn Kelly Fumes at Trump’s Revenge Plot

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Megyn Kelly has warned that President Donald Trump’s apparent revenge campaign against internal critics could devastate Republican turnout in the midterms.

The right-wing podcaster lit up social media after news broke that Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, is under federal investigation for allegedly leaking classified information. Kent, 45, had just resigned in protest at Trump’s war on Iran—the first senior Trump administration official to do so. According to Semafor, the investigation predates his exit.

Before the probe became public, Kent, a former Green Beret, appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show to reject Trump’s claim that Iran had posed an imminent threat, the central justification for the war that has cost the lives of 13 U.S. service members and an estimated 1,5000 Iranians.

Kelly’s response to the probe into Kent was unambiguous. “You wanna rip the GOP apart right to its core and prevent a single America First voter from participating in the midterms?” she posted on X Wednesday. “Indict Joe Kent and Tucker Carlson. See how that works out.”

She argues that pursuing Kent and Carlson—two figures with deep credibility among the anti-interventionist wing of the MAGA coalition—would look to America First voters like Trump using the justice system to silence dissent over a war he was never supposed to start. The result, she warned, would be a suppressed Republican turnout in the midterms. (Read more from “Megyn Kelly Fumes at Trump’s Revenge Plot” HERE)

Panicking Trump Aides Left Scrambling by Counterterror Chief’s Shock Resignation Bombshell

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The White House had no idea Donald Trump’s top counterterrorism official planned to post his damning resignation letter protesting the Iran war on social media, according to a report. . .

But he blindsided the White House by posting his bombshell resignation letter on X, where it has been shared more than 250,000 times, causing the president major embarrassment, a senior administration official told The Wall Street Journal.

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell said the letter contained “virulent anti-Semitism,” while South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham accused Kent of repeating the “oldest storyline in the world” that “if it weren’t for the Jews, we’d all be safe.”

It was previously reported that Vance, who had been skeptical of launching a war with Iran, knew Kent planned to resign and urged him to inform Trump and Wiles first.

A spokesman for the vice president told the Journal that Vance “believes that it’s imperative for the national security team to remain cohesive, trust one another, and avoid mouthing off to the media about internal deliberations.” (Read more from “Panicking Trump Aides Left Scrambling by Counterterror Chief’s Shock Resignation Bombshell” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The US military dropped 5,000-pound bunker-buster bombs on underground Iranian missile sites near the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, according to authorities.

The massive attack announced by US Central Command came as the war with Iran had stanched the flow of shipping through the vital Persian Gulf waterway.

“Hours ago, US forces successfully employed multiple 5,000-pound deep penetrator munitions on hardened Iranian missile sites along Iran’s coastline near the Strait of Hormuz,” the regional command said on X around 7 p.m. ET.

“The Iranian anti-ship cruise missiles in these sites posed a risk to international shipping in the strait,” CENTCOM added.

A US official told CNN that the munitions were the GBU-72 Advanced 5K Penetrator, an explosive first released by US aircraft in 2021. (Read more from “US Drops 5K-pound Bunker-Buster Bombs on Underground Missile Sites near Strait of Hormuz” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A senior Iranian police commander recently told an agent of Israel’s renowned Mossad intelligence service “I swear on the Koran I’m not your enemy” and begged the Jewish state to “please come help us” overthrow the Islamic Republic, according to the contents of a leaked phone call.

The call, reported by the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, was one of several placed by Israeli intelligence threatening Iranian security officials and their families by name if they did not stand aside in the event of a popular uprising to overthrow the mullahs.

“We know everything about you. You are on our blacklist, and we have all the information about you,” the Mossad agent told the police commander in Farsi. “I called to warn you in advance that you should stand with your people’s side. And if you will not do that, your destiny will be as your leader [Ayatollah Ali Khamenei]. Do you hear me?”

“Brother, I swear on the Koran, I’m not your enemy,” the commander responded. “I’m a dead man already. Just please come help us.”

The US and Israel have sought to create the conditions for the Iranian people to take down the theocratic regime by systematically striking its military infrastructure and targeting top political leaders for assassination, respectively, since Feb. 28.

‘Fake News’: FCC Chair Warns Broadcasters To ‘Operate In The Public Interest’ Or Risk Loss Of License; FCC Warns Broadcasters over Iran War Coverage

/4 Comments/in , , /by

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned media outlets Saturday that they may lose their broadcast licenses if they insist on running “fake news” content.

Carr wrote in an X post he was giving broadcasters who were “running hoaxes and news distortions ‐ also known as the fake news” the chance to “correct course before their license renewals come up.” His warning came in response to a Truth Social post by President Donald Trump slamming “the Fake News Media” for what he called an “intentionally misleading headline” about U.S. Air Force planes reportedly hit by an Iranian missile strike.

“The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not,” the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman wrote in his post. “And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.”

The FCC chief was likely citing a Gallup survey released in September 2020 which showed that only nine percent of U.S. adults had “a great deal” of trust in mass media to report “the news fully, accurately and fairly.”

“The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves,” Carr continued. “It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news.”

FCC warns broadcasters over Iran War coverage

By Salon. As the war between the United States and Iran enters its third week, a new front in the conflict is emerging at home: a battle over how the war is covered by the media.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr warned broadcasters this week that news outlets must accurately report on the war or risk regulatory scrutiny tied to their broadcast licenses. The remarks came after Donald Trump accused major media organizations of misleading the public about the administration’s military campaign against Iran.

Carr said broadcasters operate under a legal obligation to serve the “public interest” and suggested that networks spreading what he characterized as inaccurate reporting about the war could face consequences when their licenses come up for renewal.

The warning followed a series of posts by Trump on his social media platform, Truth Social, where the president told supporters that coverage of the war was “wrong” and urged Americans not to believe reports circulating in the press. Trump has repeatedly accused news outlets of distorting details about the scope and effectiveness of U.S. strikes on Iranian targets.

Press freedom advocates and media analysts quickly raised concerns that the comments could signal government pressure on news organizations during wartime. (Read more from “FCC warns broadcasters over Iran War coverage” HEREc)
