The UK rightly bans Cenk Uygur and Hasan Piker from entering the country

Young Turks [the 'k' is pronounced as a 'd'] founder Cenk Uygur and his nephew, the left-wing streamer Hasan Piker, both virulent anti-Semites, have discovered that the politics of open borders and unrestricted movement occasionally collide with the realities of national sovereignty.

Both men announced Monday that they had been barred from entering the United Kingdom ahead of their planned appearances at the upcoming South by Southwest festival in London. The British government reportedly revoked their visas over concerns related to their public rhetoric on Israel, a remarkable development given the contemporary West's usual reluctance to police incendiary political speech.

According to Uygur, the British Home Office designated him a "serious risk to the public order" after he claimed that "Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress." Whether one views such remarks as criticism, conspiracy theory, or something in between, British authorities evidently concluded that importing them was not in the public interest as riots and destruction tend to occur when anti-Zionist/anti-Semitism are brought forth in the public arena.

The response from the loudmouth Uygur was immediate and characteristically dramatic.

"Are we free anymore?" he asked in a post on X. "This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!"

In a subsequent thread, Uygur portrayed the visa ban as a badge of honor.

 
"It is an honor to have made Israel's enemies list. I'm very proud to have fought against their genocide."

"The mighty United Kingdom is afraid of speech that shows you who's responsible for those war crimes. But no amount of censorship will get us to stop telling the truth."

Piker, who generally favors fewer words than his uncle, offered his own interpretation of events. He claimed the United Kingdom had revoked his visa at "the behest of Israel."

"The West is betraying 'liberal values' for a genocidal fascist foreign government," Piker wrote. "Soon we will all become Israel." 

What a piece of human excrement this man is.

The episode highlights one of the more curious contradictions of modern political activism. Many of those who insist that nations have little right to control their borders become deeply indignant when a nation exercises precisely that right against them.

The controversy arrives amid additional scrutiny surrounding the execrable Piker. 

Last week, Fox News reported that the U.S. Treasury Department had subpoenaed Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin, a self-loathing Jewish woman, as part of an investigation into whether activists violated U.S. sanctions during a trip to Cuba. 

According to the report, investigators are examining the activities of roughly 40 American citizens who allegedly coordinated with foreign nationals, including Brazilian activist Thiago Avila, who recently gained attention after being detained by Israel following his participation in a Gaza-bound flotilla. He had been accused of inappropriate sexual activity, which he denied. and claimed he had been tortured by Israel, which is not at all likely. 

Further subpoenas are reportedly expected.

Fox also reported that those under investigation include Isra Hirsi, the daughter of Representative Ilhan Omar. Sources told the network that investigators are examining whether Omar herself may have helped finance her daughter's travel.

For years, anti-Israel activists have portrayed themselves as dissidents bravely speaking truth to power. What appears to have unsettured Uygur and Piker is the realization that governments, including Western governments, sometimes retain the authority to decide who may cross their borders and under what conditions. Whether that authority has been exercised wisely in this case is a matter for debate. That the authority exists should not come as a surprise.

BREAKING: Iran Suspends Negotiations with U.S. says Iranian Media

Iran's latest decision to suspend indirect negotiations with the United States marks yet another reminder of a central truth about the Islamic Republic. It has never viewed diplomacy as a process of compromise. Rather, it treats negotiations as an extension of conflict by other means, a venue in which leverage is accumulated, demands are expanded, and concessions are expected from others rather than offered by itself.

On Monday, Iran announced that it was halting all exchanges with Washington conducted through mediators. The move, reported by the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, was justified on the grounds of what Tehran described as Israel's "continuing crimes" in Lebanon.

"Considering that Lebanon was one of the preconditions for the ceasefire and that this ceasefire has now been violated on all fronts, including Lebanon, the Iranian negotiating team is suspending dialogues and exchange of texts through mediators," Tasnim reported.

In a separate statement, the agency raised the stakes considerably.

"Furthermore, Iran and the Axis of Resistance have resolved to pursue the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts, including the Bab al-Mandab Strait, as part of efforts to punish Israel and its supporters," Tasnim said in a separate post on X.

Tehran has also demanded the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, adding yet another condition to an already fragile diplomatic process.

Whether this suspension represents a temporary pause or a more comprehensive breakdown in communications remains unclear. Yet the broader significance is unmistakable. Iran is not narrowing the field of dispute. It is widening it.

The Islamic Republic has once again escalated its demands while simultaneously portraying itself as the aggrieved party. What began as negotiations concerning the ceasefire and the future of the conflict has now expanded into an attempt to hold Washington directly accountable for every Israeli military action in Lebanon. Tehran's position is that American influence over Israel must be exercised according to Iranian expectations before meaningful talks can resume.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made that point explicitly on Monday.

"Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts. The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation," Araghchi wrote on X.

Likewise, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the parliament speaker and lead negotiator, accused the United States of violating the ceasefire through its continued blockade of Iranian ports and by failing to restrain Israeli operations in Lebanon.

Behind these statements lies the enduring reality of Iran's regional strategy. The so-called Axis of Resistance is not a spontaneous coalition of like-minded movements. It is a network painstakingly constructed over decades by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and its Quds Force. From Hezbollah in Lebanon to Hamas in Gaza, from the Houthis in Yemen to Shia militias in Iraq, these organizations serve as instruments of Iranian influence and power projection throughout the region.

The current conflict traces its origins to the US-Israeli strikes on Iran in February, strikes that reportedly resulted in the death of Ali Khamenei. Hezbollah's subsequent missile attacks against Israel transformed an already dangerous confrontation into a wider regional conflict.

A ceasefire between the United States and Iran took effect on April 8, with Pakistan acting as the principal mediator. A separate ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon followed on April 16. Yet Iran has consistently argued that these agreements are inseparable, insisting that Israeli military actions in Lebanon constitute violations of the broader Iran-US truce.

What effect this latest development will have on negotiations remains uncertain.

The talks have covered issues of enormous strategic consequence, including the future of the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles, sanctions relief, and the framework for a permanent settlement. Both sides had reportedly been working toward a 60-day memorandum that would extend the ceasefire and create space for further nuclear discussions.

According to reports, draft provisions included the reopening of Hormuz to unrestricted shipping, the removal of Iranian naval mines within thirty days, proportional easing of the American blockade, and sanctions waivers permitting Iran to resume oil sales.

The agreement was said to be awaiting final approval from both US President Donald Trump and Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei.

Trump projected confidence early Monday.

"Iran really wants to make a deal, and it will be a good one for the USA and those that are with us," he wrote. "Just sit back and relax, it will all work out well in the end, it always does."

Yet optimism has repeatedly collided with reality. Only last week Trump warned that Iran needed to finalize an agreement or "we'll have to finish the job," after the White House rejected reports of a draft accord as a "complete fabrication." The president has previously estimated the ceasefire's chances of survival at only one percent.

That skepticism appears increasingly justified.

The truce has been tested repeatedly through military incidents and competing narratives. The United States and Iran continue to offer conflicting accounts of engagements in the Persian Gulf, including strikes near Bandar Abbas, disputes involving drones and tankers, and claims surrounding an Iranian retaliatory attack on a US airbase.

The broader lesson is difficult to ignore. Every ceasefire in the Middle East creates a brief window in which diplomacy might succeed. Yet such agreements endure only when all parties accept that compromise is preferable to escalation. Iran's latest actions suggest that, at least for now, Tehran believes pressure and confrontation remain more useful tools than peace.

U.S., Iran Keep Trading Punches While Negotiators Pretend a Peace Deal Is Right Around the Corner

One of the more exhausting traditions in modern geopolitics is watching hostile nations lob missiles at each other while diplomats simultaneously assure everyone that a breakthrough is just days away. This weekend, the United States and Iran kept that tradition alive and well.

The latest round of Middle East fireworks saw American forces strike Iranian air-defense radar installations and drone facilities, while Iran answered by launching missiles and drones toward Kuwait. Apparently, "de-escalation" means something very different in that part of the world.

The fighting comes as negotiators continue trying to hammer out a deal that would supposedly bring an end to the conflict. President Trump had indicated before the weekend that an agreement was within reach. Unfortunately, the people actually negotiating the deal keep pointing out that minor details, such as Iran's nuclear commitments and the timing of sanctions relief, remain unresolved. In diplomatic circles, those are what experts refer to as "the important parts."

According to U.S. Central Command, American warplanes struck Iranian radar sites and drone command-and-control facilities on Qeshm Island and in Gorik, both located in Hormozgan province. The military said the operation followed Iran's shoot-down of an American MQ-1 drone.

American forces also intercepted and destroyed two Iranian attack drones that were deemed threats to commercial shipping. Given Iran's long-standing interest in making life miserable for anyone trying to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, that assessment wasn't exactly difficult to make.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly announced that it had responded to the American attacks. The Guard Corps, which serves as both the regime's military enforcer and its favorite tool for projecting power throughout the region, portrayed its actions as defensive.

Kuwait, meanwhile, found itself once again caught in the middle. The country reported missile and drone attacks Monday as warning alarms echoed across the nation. U.S. Central Command said American defenses intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles aimed at U.S. forces stationed there.

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman insisted the attacks were a defensive response to American operations. That's a familiar talking point from regimes that routinely define "defense" as launching missiles at their neighbors.

The latest exchange is particularly concerning for Kuwait, which suffered heavily during the broader conflict and has continued to absorb attacks even after the ceasefire that technically took effect in early April. The ceasefire has held about as effectively as most ceasefires involving Iran.

The Revolutionary Guard also claimed responsibility for shooting down an MQ-1 drone Sunday after it allegedly entered Iranian territorial waters. Whether that incident was a provocation, a misunderstanding, or simply another excuse for escalation depends entirely on which government spokesman is talking.

Behind the scenes, negotiators are reportedly discussing a memorandum of understanding that would reopen access through the Strait of Hormuz, extend the ceasefire, and create a renewable 60-day window to address Iran's nuclear program and sanctions relief. In theory, it would provide both sides with enough breathing room to end the conflict.

Not everyone is convinced.

American foreign-policy hawks and Israeli officials remain deeply skeptical of any agreement that eases pressure on Tehran without forcing significant concessions. Their concern is straightforward: Iran appears weaker than it has been in years, and they fear a rushed agreement could hand the regime economic relief while leaving its nuclear ambitions largely intact.

Trump weighed in Monday on social media, saying Iran wants to reach an agreement but complaining that criticism of the deal inside the United States is making that harder to accomplish.

That may be true. Then again, when missiles are still flying and drones are still falling out of the sky, it's understandable that some people might want to see the fine print before celebrating the arrival of peace.

Democratic Candidate Charged With Terroristic Threat After 'Pulling A Firearm On Government Workers' In Bold Stand For Democracy

HONOLULU—In what campaign strategists are calling "a bold new approach to constituent outreach," Kirill Basin, a long-shot Democratic candidate for Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District, was arrested Friday after allegedly strolling into a government building and threatening officials with a firearm like a true man of the people.

The 40-year-old progressive visionary reportedly entered the Maui County facility around 9:30 a.m., brandished the weapon at two government workers in a spirited display of anti-establishment fervor, then fled the scene before being apprehended hours later. 

Authorities described the incident as following "a string of bizarre behavior," which in Democrat circles is known as "Tuesday."

It remains unclear exactly why Basin felt the need to bring a gun to a government office or which specific officials he was "dialoguing" with at gunpoint, but sources close to the campaign insist it was probably about healthcare.

A temporary restraining order was swiftly granted to one Agtunong just hours after Basin's arrest, proving once again that the system works, especially when you're the one filing paperwork instead of waving heat.

Court records also reveal Basin was previously arrested for disorderly conduct on May 2. Undeterred by such systemic oppression, he filed a lawsuit Thursday against Maui Police Chief John Pelletier and Maui County, claiming he was subjected to "prolonged and deliberate infliction of physical, sexual and psychological abuse" during his detention.

Representing himself because apparently no lawyer in Hawaii wanted to touch this with a ten-foot pole, Basin took to his campaign Instagram to proudly announce the suit.‘This is the lawsuit I served today. It basically outlines how 3 police officers tortured me for 14 hours,’ Basin wrote in the Instagram post.

‘That’s the gist. It’ll never happen to anyone again.’

Political analysts say the incident perfectly encapsulates the Democratic Party's exciting new direction: running on platforms of compassion, equity, and occasionally pulling firearms on civil servants. Early polling shows Basin trailing significantly, but supporters remain hopeful that enough voters will see his vision of governance by armed confrontation.

You cannot make this stuff up.

Grok reveals more on Graham Platner

I asked Grok, "Did Graham Platner work for Blackwater?" And after 4 whole seconds I received this response: 

Yes, Graham Platner worked for a successor company to Blackwater (now known as Constellis), though he has publicly stated that he "never worked for Blackwater." 

His role: Platner worked as a State Department security contractor (e.g., protecting an ambassador or similar duties) in Afghanistan for about six months around 2018, after his U.S. military service (Marines and Army National Guard, with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan).

Company connection: He was employed by Constellis Holdings, the parent company that absorbed Blackwater (rebranded as Xe Services in 2009 and later merged into Constellis). Blackwater/Constellis provided private security and other services for the U.S. government.

Platner's response: He has denied direct employment with the original Blackwater, calling out the association as inaccurate or a technicality. Critics argue this is splitting hairs since Constellis is the direct successor with the same core business and legacy. ContextThis has become a point of controversy in his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign in Maine (as a Democrat challenging Susan Collins). Opponents and some progressives have highlighted it alongside his veteran background, past social media posts, and a tattoo he later covered up. Supporters note it was short-term government-contracted work and that he became disillusioned with U.S. involvement abroad afterward. Sources include news outlets like Politico, Central Maine, and public discussions on the topic. Wikipedia and his campaign materials focus more on his oyster farming and Marine Corps service but don't contradict the contractor stint.

So Platner said he didn't work for Blackwater and he is technically correct because the company was swallowed up by Constellis. And this is how he gets away with his lie.

Platner Kept a Profile on a Messaging App That Has Been a Playground for Predators for Years

If there is one thing that Graham Platner's Senate campaign has taught us, it's that every time people think they've hit the bottom of the opposition research barrel, the bottom is deeper still.

Over the course of this campaign, Mainers have learned about Platner's public restroom chicken-choking self-gratification habits, his phone-sex adventures on a network that was compromised by the Taliban, and his apparent emotional investment in a Thailand prostitution tax loophole. Most candidates spend campaign season talking about jobs, inflation, and national security. Platner has spent it providing material that sounds like it was rejected by the writers of a dark cable comedy.

Now comes another revelation.

According to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal, Platner maintained an account on Kik, the anonymous messaging platform that has spent years battling a reputation as a haven for sexual predators and child exploitation.

The account, operating under the username phustle0331, remains active. The profile picture is a mirror selfie featuring an individual who appears to be wearing nothing more than a bath towel. The tattoos visible in the image reportedly match tattoos Platner displayed during an interview with a local ABC affiliate last October. The username also matches a private Instagram account linked to Platner, as well as the Reddit account that has already generated plenty of unwanted headlines for his campaign.

Platner later acknowledged to the Wall Street Journal that the account was his.

The account was created on June 26, 2016. By that point, Kik's reputation wasn't exactly a mystery. The platform had already become notorious for attracting predators looking to exploit children. That same year, a major sting operation led to the arrest of more than 2,600 predators. Concerns about the app became so widespread that the New York Times published an exposé detailing the dangers it posed to minors.

The issue has been especially relevant in Maine, the state Platner hopes to represent in the Senate.

Just last year, one Maine man received a sentence of 30 to 60 years for producing videos depicting the sexual abuse of children for users on the platform. Another case that surfaced in September involved a man who allegedly attended children's sporting events to obtain photographs that he later transformed into sexualized images using artificial intelligence.

Platner's Nazi tattoo

Experts estimate that roughly 70 percent of Kik users are between the ages of 13 and 24. Although the company has updated its rules to prohibit minors from using the app, there is no meaningful age-verification system in place to ensure users are actually adults. As a result, critics continue to describe the platform as a "Predator's Paradise."

Platner's campaign has insisted that he deleted the app from his phone, but apparently neglected to deactivate the account itself. They were apparently more concerned with him being embarrassed if the app was still there, than the idea that he is still on the platform. 

With the primary election only days away, Platner remains the favorite to secure the Democratic nomination, because, of course he is. If he does get the nomination, he is expected to face incumbent [RINO] Republican Senator Susan Collins in November in one of the most closely watched Senate races in the country.

At this point, every new revelation about Platner feels less like opposition research and more like another installment in a series that nobody asked for, but everyone is reading anyway. He is disgusting, but he's Democrat disgusting and for that Party, it's okay.

Platner's campaign in trouble: if you thought the Nazi tattoo was bad, check this out

Graham Platner, the Democrat running for U.S. Senate in Maine who’s come under fire for a Nazi tattoo and apparently masturbating in port-a-potties sent sexually explicit texts to other women while he was married, the Wall Street Journal reported. And let us not forget his brutal comments about a U.S. soldier getting wounded and how he said he should have been killed instead.

But it gets worse.

Platner’s wife informed his campaign about the problem days after he announced he was running, the paper reported.

Platner and Amy Gertner got married in 2024. Within a year of marriage, she found sexually explicit text messages from several women in the spring of 2025, the Journal reported.

On May 30 this year, the Wall Street Journal detailed how his wife discovered those sexually explicit texts he exchanged with other women in 2025, quite early in their marriage. She flagged this to a trusted campaign aide last August, ahead of the comrade Bernie Sanders rally, as she was worried it might have a negative political impact upon decent people who find that kind of behavior repugnant and immoral. [Not that it seemed to be a serious enough problem for her to leave the pig.]

Anyway, the campaign saw it as a private marital issue that should be handled through counseling, and they went ahead with the events. Gertner later said they worked through it and came out of it with a stronger marriage.

Some social media and local reports also reference pre-campaign complaints from Maine women about Platner on dating apps (e.g., Tinder interactions followed by ghosting).

Platner has not publicly detailed any of these situations. Not the crude discussions of prostitution overseas and his defense of married men who have sex with prostitutes.

But despite the immorally bankrupt behavior of Platner and the many who don't see his scumbaggery as an issue, he leads Susan Collins in the polls.

Back in 2019, he made comments about avoiding taxes by "banging hookers in Thailand" instead of dealing with a wife at home.

What is happening to our country?

Obama appointed judge fired over sex scandal

FOX Business contributor Katrina Campins broke down the mess of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's personal relationship with Nathan Wade on Jesse Watters Primetime.U.S. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon dropped a motion on Friday to get Atlanta U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross tossed from a major election integrity case. Why? Because Ross admitted she went to a partisan Democrat fundraiser for Fani Willis, which is flat out illegal and screams she is anything but impartial.

But that is just the warm up for Ross's greatest hits album of judicial disgrace. 

Turns out that Ross, who is married, has been carrying on for years banging Atlanta deputy police chief Kelley Collier right there in her chambers during work hours. Staff overheard the sexual noises. When she got caught, she lied about it and then retaliated against the people who reported her.

This is textbook workplace sexual misconduct, lying, and obstruction of justice, folks. 

And what did the federal judiciary do about it? Gave her a freaking private reprimand. Yes, a private reprimand. That is the judicial equivalent of a participation trophy for being a sleazy embarassment. Ross should resign immediately or get impeached by Congress. She should also face federal criminal charges for lying to investigators.

The Atlanta Police Department has tons of cases in front of Ross's court. 

Collier, her regular courthouse hookup, is a nearly thirty year veteran who runs the Community Services Division and, oh yeah, he is also married. 

The Eleventh Circuit Judicial Council actually said it was only by pure happenstance that Ross never got assigned any cases from that division while she was banging the deputy chief. Relying on luck to avoid a screaming conflict of interest does not make you ethical. It makes you lucky and gross. Nothing indicates she would have ended the affair if a case had landed on her desk. 

Ross is  married to DeKalb County Circuit Judge Brian Ross. I wonder how he's taking it.

This went on right under the noses of her law clerks, young lawyers who were supposed to look up to her as a role model as opposed to a "Fans Only" woman. One former clerk had to blow the whistle to disciplinary authorities. She turned her fancy judicial chambers into a cheap love shack for several years, from 2023 until 2025. 

When staff pushed back on her illegal behavior, she cursed them out. Retaliating against whistleblowers has zero place in the federal judiciary.

Ross, an Obama appointee, also showed up at the victory party for Fani Willis, the same legal train wreck who brought that ridiculous, politically motivated indictment against President Trump and nearly twenty other defendants in 2023. Courts eventually booted Willis after it came out she was sleeping with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. 

Judges are not supposed to attend these partisan Democrat love clusterfracks. Ethical canons exist for a reason.

Ross showed zero integrity when Eleventh Circuit Chief Judge William Pryor confronted her. She flat out denied everything and called the allegations outrageous. She knew she was lying through her teeth. If a lawyer pulled that stunt in court, they would be disbarred and possibly prosecuted for contempt. But the Judicial Council went soft on Ross, kept the reprimand private, and refused to name her. That lack of transparency is garbage. The public has every right to know which judge is abusing her office, lying about it, retaliating, and trying to cover it up. 

She is a caught liar with no business on the federal bench. This fiasco is exactly why Congress needs to pass Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley's bill for an independent inspector general over the federal judiciary. These judges cannot police themselves, and for one in particular, don't even mention the word 'police,' it gets her all steamy hot.

Her eventual confession changes nothing. 

The council made her skip being chief judge of the Northern District and say sorry to the staff she screwed over. Big whoop. These are pathetic slaps on the wrist. As it stands, Ross keeps collecting that sweet lifetime federal paycheck and benefits. Other judges with half a spine have resigned over less. She should do the same. The Justice Department needs to prosecute her, and the House should impeach her.

Funny how Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff has been completely MIA on this. 

Ross sits on the bench in his home state. Her antics have humiliated the Northern District of Georgia, the whole state, and the federal judiciary. Ossoff, a full-blown coward, has not called for her resignation, has not demanded transparency, and has not said a single public word about why they shielded her from accountability. That silence is deliberate, and Georgians should remember it come election time. 

Ross is a complete disgrace to the judiciary. She should slink away with whatever dignity she has left and be replaced by someone who understands that judicial chambers are not a Motel 6 for afternoon delights that the whole staff has to hear. 

The Senate Judiciary Committee, where Ossoff ought to be leading the charge instead of playing hide and seek, should demand answers on why her name stayed secret. Most important, the Justice Department needs to open a criminal investigation into the false statements she made to Pryor and her obstruction of justice. The judiciary and the country deserve way better than Eleanor Ross.
