US Strikes Iranian Boats, Missile Launch Sites In 'Self Defense,' Says CENTCOM

TEHRAN — In what military officials are calling a masterclass in "measured restraint," the United States launched pinpoint strikes on Iranian boats and missile sites Tuesday, proving once again that nothing says "ongoing ceasefire" quite like explosions, shock and awe, and sinking vessels.

"US Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire," CENTCOM spokesperson Navy Captain Tim Hawkins said regarding the strikes.The US military carried out self-defense strikes in southern Iran against targets including boats attempting to lay mines and missile launch sites, Fox News reported on Tuesday.

“US forces conducted self-defense strikes in southern Iran today to protect our troops from threats posed by Iranian forces,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) spokesperson Capt. Tim Hawkins said.

“US Central Command continues to defend our forces while using restraint during the ongoing ceasefire,” he added.

According to reports, two Iranian boats were spotted laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, an act of aggression so shocking it only took the U.S. military a few hours to respond with overwhelming firepower. Forces also responded after a missile site had targeted US warplanes, said the official.

He also confirmed that the US struck a surface-to-air missile (SAM) site in Bandar Abbas, following reports of explosions in the city by Iranian media. Other explosions were reported close to Sirik and Jask, located near the strait, in what Iranian state media described as "totally normal Tuesday activities."

The official told Fox News that the strikes were "defensive," while two additional sources said that the strikes do not indicate that the ceasefire with Iran is over. Because nothing screams "ceasefire" like U.S. jets turning missile sites into parking lots.

Explosions were heard on Monday in various regions across the Strait of Hormuz, according to Fox. The official said that the US strikes were "over for now," which is Pentagon-speak for "until the next time they look at us funny."

At press time, Iran was reportedly considering a strongly-worded statement, while the U.S. Navy practiced its trademark "restraint" by not turning the entire region into a smoking crater.

'Trump House' owner dies of his injuries--neighbor 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler faces homicide charge

Kerry Sheron, killed for supporting U.S. President Trump

The owner of a heavily decorated pro-Trump home in Southern California has died days after he was beaten to a bloody pulp allegedly by his neighbor, a Navy veteran.

Kerry Sheron, a 69-year-old Army veteran known locally for covering his residence with MAGA banners and American flags, died Sunday night after nearly a week hospitalized in critical condition, inflicted on him by 32-year-old Thomas Caleb Butler.

The attack happened May 20 outside Sheron’s home in Escondido, police said.

Prosecutors allege Butler attacked Sheron in what officials described as an unprovoked assault, unless you consider someone voting for the candidate you don't like is provocative. 

Butler, who has been described in local reports as a Navy veteran, has pleaded not guilty to charges including attempted murder, elder abuse, criminal threats and battery.

Deputy District Attorney Ross Garcia previously told the court that Sheron suffered catastrophic injuries during the incident.

“It was a single punch to the jaw,” California Post journalist Garcia said. “The victim then falls to the floor, and there are subsequent hits to the victim’s head area.”

Security footage obtained by local media allegedly showed Sheron standing outside his Buchanan Street home before the suspect approached and attacked him. A nearby witness reportedly attempted to intervene before the suspect fled the area on foot.

Police later located Butler nearby and took him into custody shortly after the incident, according to investigators.

In the days before Sheron’s death, his wife Maria gave an emotional update, telling reporters there was “no hope” for her husband as he remained hospitalized with devastating injuries.

She also said the family had been preparing for the worst after doctors warned that Sheron’s condition had rapidly deteriorated due to severe head trauma.

Photos published after the assault appeared to show Sheron bruised, bandaged and connected to medical equipment inside his hospital room.

Authorities said Butler remains jailed without bail. Prosecutors indicated the charges could now be upgraded following Sheron’s death.

He is expected to be formally re-arraigned as early as this week, with homicide-related charges now under consideration, officials said.

Investigators have not publicly identified a motive and said it remains unclear whether the two men knew each other before the confrontation.

Thomas Caleb Butler

Sheron had previously claimed his home, widely known in the community as the “Trump House” because of its large political displays and American flags, had been vandalized in the past. In a video posted months earlier, he showed torn flags and damaged decorations outside the property.

Maria previously told reporters she believed her husband may have been targeted because of the pro-Trump displays outside their home. Authorities, however, have not confirmed any political motive tied to the attack.

In recent days, dozens of supporters gathered outside Sheron’s home holding signs, flowers and American flags as news of his condition spread through the community.

Neighbors described the area as shaken by the violence, saying the attack felt sudden and deeply disturbing for a usually quiet residential street.

Purple Heart recipient mocked by Nazi tattoo wearer Graham Platner

“I don’t understand the hatred toward veterans who served honorably"
Ted Daniels, Purple Heart Hero

The heroic Army veteran at the center of this latest Democrat clown show in Maine is finally speaking out, and he’s got a simple message for the party apparatchiks still clinging to their Senate hopeful Graham Platner: you people owe his kids an explanation.

According to the New York Post, Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels unloaded on the top Democrats who are still circling the wagons for Platner even after his charming Reddit burner account comments resurfaced—where he mocked Daniels and said the man “didn’t deserve to live” after a brutal firefight in Afghanistan.

The whole mess has gone nuclear now that online sleuths also dug up images of the Democrat sporting what sure looks like a Nazi-linked tattoo. Shocking, I know. Democrats backing a guy with that rap sheet? In this economy?

Daniels, whose helmet-cam footage from a 2012 Taliban ambush went massively viral years ago, told the Post he doesn’t even want an apology from Platner anymore because it wouldn’t feel genuine.

Instead, he said he wants liberal lawmakers like Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and Hakeem Jeffries to explain to his kids why they are backing a candidate who mocked the possibility of their father being killed in combat.

Daniels went viral years ago after helmet-cam footage showed him sprinting into open fire during a Taliban ambush while bullets ripped around him.

His team survived the onslaught, but not before Daniels, who drew the enemy fire away from his squad, was hit four times. He earned a Purple Heart for his actions.

Years later, Platner, now the presumptive Democratic Senate candidate in Maine, allegedly mocked Daniels on a burner Reddit account, calling him a “dumb motherf*cker” and saying he should not have survived.

Platner: an angry, vulgar, Nazi-loving, Democratic candidate

The New York Post reported that Platner has since deleted large portions of the account history.Daniels also criticized Platner over past comments targeting Chris Kyle and Vice President JD Vance over their military service.

“I don’t understand the hatred toward veterans who served honorably,” Daniels told the New York Post. “That part gets me.”

Platner has defended himself by pointing to his own military service, saying accusations that he disrespects veterans are “offensive” and “slanderous.” He just hates Jews, I guess. 

He has not apologized for the comments. Despite everything, Daniels said he is not attacking Platner’s military record and still considers him “a brother” because of his service.

But he also suggested it’s a lot easier to trash someone online than say those things face-to-face.

The controversy exploded even further after Dave Portnoy publicly torched Platner over the tattoo controversy while rejecting an apparent attempt by the campaign to get Barstool involved in an anti-private-equity Red Sox message push.

The "Totenkopf" tattoo (German for "death's head" or skull)

Portnoy blasted Platner in a private exchange. “Yeah I’d be happy to talk to him about that tattoo and him being a Nazi,” Portnoy wrote before later posting screenshots of the exchange online. Look, this is just another day in the Democrat fever swamp: a guy who allegedly trash-talked a wounded warrior from behind a keyboard, rocks questionable ink, and the party’s blue-check royalty still can’t find the spine to walk away. 

Shocker.

Iran Signals ‘Mass Sacrifice’ By Dusting Off Saddam-Era Participation Trophy While Trump Deal Is Already “Largely Negotiated”

TEHRAN—In a bold diplomatic masterstroke, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reminded the world that his country is totally ready to throw another generation of young men into the meat grinder, just like the good old days, all while Trump’s team casually confirms the deal is basically done.

The remarks came as President Donald Trump said a deal with Tehran is "largely negotiated" but warned the U.S. could walk away entirely if the mullahs keep cosplaying 1982.

Pezeshkian invoked one of Iran’s strongest wartime symbols on May 24, signaling Tehran’s ironclad resolve to maybe, possibly, kind of fight the U.S. and Israel if they absolutely have to, according to a counterterrorism expert who sounded very impressed.

While Iran signaled broad agreement with Washington on some points, it emphasized that a final deal is not imminent because nothing says “serious negotiation partner” like publicly hyping up mass human sacrifice right before signing the paperwork.

In an X post marking the anniversary of the 1982 recapture of Khorramshahr from Iraqi forces during the Iran-Iraq War, Pezeshkian said, "Khorramshahr today is Iran, the Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz," adding that "resistance, self-sacrifice, and repelling aggression are rooted in the culture of this land."

Analysts claimed Pezeshkian was deliberately invoking one of the deepest ideological touchstones of the Islamic Republic, you know, that time they spent eight years and a million lives to win back one city from Saddam.

"This is the Iran-Iraq War reference, and the timing is the point," said Dr. Omar Mohammed, director of the Antisemitism Research Initiative Program on Extremism at George Washington University.

"This is one of the Islamic Republic’s foundational mythological moments, civilian resistance, mass sacrifice, repelling an ‘aggressor army.’ Roughly what the Great Patriotic War is to Russia. The rhetorical move is the extension," Mohammed told Fox News Digital.

"He’s mapping the 1980-82 defensive-war frame onto the current confrontation: Iran attacked by an aggressor, ordinary citizens (‘battle-untested but brave’) expected to stand and fight, with ‘resistance, sacrifice, repelling aggression’ cast as the cultural default mode."

Some of the phrasing, Mohammed said, also evokes volunteer and Basij fighters versus a professional invading army — or as the rest of the world calls it, “the Iranian business model.”

"Invoking the strait inside a wartime-mobilization frame, even rhetorically, is a deliberate signal, not throat-clearing," he added.

"The Khorramshahr frame is the deepest register the regime has. It’s what they reach for to signal existential war, not a managed crisis."

Mohammed explained that Pezeshkian’s X post is framing the current confrontation from the presidential account to send a "high-stakes message."

"It’s also a tell on internal posture: Khorramshahr, in short, means ‘we are being invaded and we will not negotiate,’" he added, “unless the deal is really, really good and Trump throws in some sanctions relief and maybe a new soccer stadium.”Sources say the tough talk is playing beautifully on Iranian state TV, where viewers are encouraged to cheer loudly while quietly hoping their kids don’t get volunteered for the next glorious mass sacrifice.

Virginia Prosecutor Tells Gun Ban To Pound Sand, Reminds Everyone The Second Amendment Is Still A Thing

Ryan Mehaffey, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Virginia prosecutor, is taking a hard-line stance against what is an "unconstitutional" new gun ban signed by far-left Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

Comrade Spanberger, who has been slipping in the polls amid criticisms of her socialist/progressive policy agenda, signed a new bill last week banning the future sale and manufacture of "assault weapons," including many semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns. The law also bans the future sale of magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds, because she thinks people don't carry more than one magazine nor know how to reload.

The move caused immediate backlash from many Virginians and raised new Second Amendment violation concerns. Rather than protest, however, Mehaffey, who serves as the commonwealth attorney for Spotsylvania County, is drawing a line in the sand and flatly refusing to enforce the ban.

With the bill set to take effect this July ahead of America’s 250th anniversary of independence, Mehaffey sent a letter to Spotsylvania Sheriff Roger Harris, instructing him that the ban is "unconstitutional and cannot be lawfully enforced."

Virginia Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger is drawing Republicans' ire and a potential Justice Department lawsuit on her latest moves against the Second Amendment. I would say that she needs to be removed from office, but I won't.

A statement released by Spanberger’s office called the assault weapons ban a "critical step toward protecting families, communities, and the law enforcement officers who serve them." It also puts miscreants who would terrorize or otherwise commit crimes with firearms at a distinct advantage over those of us who want self-defense protection of our homes and businesses. But worse, it goes against the U.S, Constitution and is totally illegal.

Spanberger remarked she signed the bill into law "because firearms designed to inflict maximum casualties do not belong on our streets." She forgot to mention how firearms can prevent or minimize casualties by the time law enforcement arrives. 

These are the same dolts who talk about 'gun violence' as if the gun operates on its own.

The leftist governor added that "while the General Assembly chose not to adopt my amendment that specifically carves out certain firearms frequently used for hunting, I will work with the patrons to clarify this language."

In response, Mehaffey said in an interview with Fox News Digital that the law "is striking at the core of the militia system that existed in Virginia."

According to Mehaffey, the Second Amendment is not just an assurance of personal freedoms, but also a safeguard for a community’s ability to defend itself through a 'well-regulated militia.'

"Our founders were careful to make sure when they drafted our founding document, that the ultimate right of the people was preserved to defend themselves and to defend their community," he explained. "So, the linchpin of the constitutional analysis is going to be does this instrument have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a regulated militia."

Mehaffey argues that Virginia historical tradition and legal precedent requires citizens own firearms for the public defense, saying, "The second amendment may not mean that you are allowed to have a nuclear weapon, but what it does allow you to have is a basic infantry weapon."

Mehaffey argues that in Virginia, historical tradition and case law precedent not only allow citizens to own firearms but even require them to arm themselves with the weapons of a basic infantryman for common defense. In the Founding Fathers’ time, Mehaffey said the standard issue was a musket and 20 rounds. Today, the basic infantry weapon in the U.S. military is the M4A1 carbine equipped with a 30-round magazine. And let's not leave out the idea that extra magazines are provided to our war fighters.

Comrade Abigail Spanberger

"The second amendment may not mean that you are allowed to have a nuclear weapon," he laughed. "But what it does allow you to have is a basic infantry weapon."

"That sort of weapon is the core of what's protected by the Second Amendment. Not necessarily a nuclear warhead, but a rifle that you can take out and form either a fire team or a company to defend yourself and to defend your community."

Spoken like a true 'grunt'.

Mehaffey is not alone in his stance. In addition to what he characterized as the "overwhelmingly positive" response from his community, Smyth County Commonwealth’s Attorney Phillip Blevins, an Air Force veteran, has also refused to enforce the bill, arguing it is unconstitutional. The ban is also facing lawsuits from gun-rights groups, including the NRA, Firearms Policy Coalition and Second Amendment Foundation.

Blevins told Fox News Digital that "ultimately, courts will continue to address these issues, and I respect the role of the judiciary. But as the elected Commonwealth’s Attorney for Smyth County, I will continue to stand for what I believe the Constitution requires, without apology or hesitation.""My position is not based on politics. It is based on constitutional fidelity," he continued, adding, "The Bill of Rights either means something, or it does not."

"As Commonwealth’s Attorney, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Virginia. That oath is not situational, and it does not change based on politics, headlines, or pressure from either side of an issue."

Mehaffey believes he and those standing beside him on this issue will ultimately prevail."The Second Amendment is the supreme law of the land, both in the U.S. Constitution and the analog in the Virginia Constitution," he explained. "So, whatever law is passed by the General Assembly is not going to have the ability to supersede the Constitution."

While he has gotten a lot of personal attention for his stance, Mehaffey emphasized that, "I want nothing more than to fulfill my office with honor and to be a good servant to the people that elected me to represent them and to stick up for their rights."

"That's what I'm trying to do," he continued, adding, "I would expect any government official to remain faithful to the Constitution and to discharge their duties as servants of the people in the same way that I have."

In other news, Spanberger's office is reportedly working on a follow-up bill that would ban pointy sticks, stones, and angry words, just to be safe.

Israelis now hunting the October 7 terrorists

After Hamas terrorists’ orgy of rape, torture, mutilation, and murder on October 7, 2023, the IDF began its war to destroy Hamas inside Gaza. At the same time, the Israelis wanted to make sure that a subset of Hamas members, those terrorists who took part in the October 7 attack in any capacity, would be hunted down and killed. To this end, the IDF established an elite group to locate, and then to summarily execute, those who were participants in the atrocities. 

The task force is called NILI, an acronym of “Netzach Yisrael Lo Yeshaker” (“The Eternal One of Israel does not lie”), signifying that no victim of the attack would be forgotten.

The Hebrew text from which the acronym NILI was formed comes from the Bible, 1 Samuel 15:29. A spy ring of Jewish pioneers, which the world-famous agronomist Aaron Aaronsohn led during World War I, also used the acronym NILI.

 

Aaronsohn and his associates collected information of military value about the Ottoman Turks in Palestine, and provided it to the British forces then in Egypt. It was dangerous work. The Turks caught Aaronsohn’s sister Sarah, and after four days of torture, she committed suicide. The Turks executed many more of the NILI spies. 

The information the NILI spies provided proved to be of immense value to the British, and enabled them to take Beersheba from the Turks. There is in Jerusalem a street named in honor of the group, Rehov Nili.

“The clear message to all future enemies is to think again about the price of a terrorist operation like that,” said Shalom Ben Hanan, a former senior official in the Shin Bet (Israeli Security Agency).

Take part in such terror operations as that on October 7 against Israelis, and sooner or later, the long arm of Israel will reach and destroy you, no matter how long it takes.

Do harm to Israelis of the kind done on October 7, 2023, and you will be pursued relentlessly, whether an elite group called NILI or the regular soldiers of the IDF do the pursuing. “Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?” 

Yes, there is “balm in Gilead,” to sooth the souls of the survivors. Every dead terrorist increases the amount.

Federal Officials Subpoena Hasan Piker And Medea Benjamin For The Crime Of Vacationing In Cuba While Pretending It Wasn't A Communist Propaganda Tour

WASHINGTON—In a shocking development that has left the activist community clutching their Che Guevara tote bags, federal officials have subpoenaed Twitch's premier champagne socialist Hasan Piker and CodePink co-founder Medea Benjamin as part of a widening investigation into Americans who may have accidentally violated U.S. sanctions by, sources say, "going to Cuba and handing stuff to the regime."

According to reports, the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, those notorious buzzkills, issued subpoenas tied to the "Nuestra América Convoy," a heartwarming coalition of trust-fund revolutionaries, Instagram influencers, and professional America-haters who embarked on a solidarity cruise to the island paradise where bread lines are considered performance art.

Investigators are reportedly looking into whether these brave freedom fighters illegally financed their tropical Marxist cosplay, coordinated logistics with the Cuban government, delivered "aid" that somehow never reaches actual Cubans, or stayed at regime-connected hotels that appear on the State Department's "Definitely Not For Tourists" list. The probe is part of the Trump administration's cruel and unusual crackdown on people who love authoritarianism but hate filling out paperwork.

Piker, the internet's most beloved tankie who streams from a house his uncle bought him, proudly documented the trip on Instagram with the courageous caption "I’M GOING TO CUBA."

He was spotted high-fiving CodePink activists and networking with organizations linked to Neville Roy Singham, the capitalist billionaire who's turned "funding communism" into a full-time hobby. Up to 40 Americans could face scrutiny, meaning the feds are coming for everyone who thought "bringing medical supplies to Cuba" was a personality.

In response, Piker took to social media with the calm, measured tone of a man whose entire brand is being mad online: "the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class." Critics noted that "delivering aid" in this context apparently means posing for photos while the Cuban people continue their 65-year experiment with bread shortages.

Medea Benjamin, meanwhile, delivered the most unintentionally hilarious humanitarian defense of the year: "Taking medical supplies to pediatric hospitals in Cuba is now a crime? Saving the lives of babies is a crime?" This from the co-founder of CodePink, an organization whose other major cause is ensuring as many American babies as possible never make it to a pediatric hospital in the first place. The irony was so thick you could spread it on regime-approved toast.

Medea Benjamin

CodePink has long maintained that abortion activism, anti-capitalism, hating Israel, climate doomsaying, and screaming at U.S. soldiers are all part of the same sacred "global feminist struggle." Their manifesto reportedly equates the "war machine" with "patriarchy," scolds Western feminists for not caring enough about Gaza, and dreams of a utopia where American bases vanish, Israeli walls crumble, and uteruses achieve full diplomatic immunity, preferably under a nice red flag.

Neither Piker nor Benjamin has been charged with anything yet. They're simply being asked questions about why they keep treating hostile dictatorships like ideological summer camps while calling it "humanitarian work." Piker, who once said America deserved 9/11 and has spent years explaining why various communist hellholes are actually worker paradises, seems genuinely shocked that the government noticed.

For now, the subpoenas represent a bold new frontier in federal enforcement: the radical notion that maybe you shouldn't fly to enemy nations, coordinate with their governments, and then act surprised when someone checks the receipts. The Babylon Bee will continue monitoring this story as it develops, or until Hasan has to stream from a slightly less luxurious location.

Trump admin may be willing to make 'significant accommodations' on sanctions relief for the terrorists

WASHINGTON—In a stunning display of 21st-century diplomacy that somehow hasn't collapsed into a mushroom cloud yet, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Sunday that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz now depends on "full Iranian acceptance and then compliance" with negotiated terms. Of course, trusting the ayatollahs to keep their word is like the scorpion carrying the frog across the stream, for you fable fans.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, evidently moonlighting as a Trump hype man, commended President Donald Trump for leading "extraordinary efforts to pursue peace" after a high-level multilateral phone conference that rounded up the usual suspects from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates. Sources confirm the call went swimmingly, with zero participants threatening to turn anyone into a parking lot.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated on Saturday that the main U.S. objective remains preventing Tehran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon, ambitious stuff, considering Iran views "nuclear weapon" the same way a kid views a participation trophy, as in 'everyone should get one.'

President Trump, never one to undersell a deal, declared that the Iran agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz has been "largely negotiated," which in diplomatic terms means "we're basically there except for the part where they keep lying."

The U.S. may be willing to make "significant accommodations" for Iran on sanctions relief if the nation's leaders are willing to make similar accommodations to the U.S. on enriched uranium, a senior administration official told Fox News on Sunday, in what historians are already calling "the most polite game of nuclear chicken ever played."

The official downplayed reports that the deal could be signed on Sunday, saying Tehran's system "does not move fast enough."

"Our plan is to deal with all of their stockpile of the enriched material," the official said. "We see the Iranians making some serious accommodations on these questions that we didn't see before." And if you believe the Islamic Regime at their word, I have a bridge to sell you.

"If the Iranians make significant accommodations on the enrichment question then we will make significant accommodations on sanctions relief," the official continued.

"Even in the IRGC's own propaganda, they did not talk about tolling the Strait of Hormuz. Our position is quite clear. We don't think that a toll is an acceptable outcome," the official added. 

At the time of this writing, Iran was reportedly nodding along while secretly spinning more centrifuges, and Washington was pretending this time would be different.

And snakes have hips.

If the Islamic Regime of Iran is allowed to remain in power, nothing will have been accomplished and this will be a waste of blood and treasure.
