Hundreds of Hezbollah scumcrumpets killed in 24 hours before Israel-Lebanon ceasefire kicked in

The IDF just dropped a bombshell update that shows exactly how hard they were hammering Hezbollah right up until the ceasefire kicked in.

In the final 24 hours before the truce took effect, the Israeli military killed hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists and struck around 300 infrastructure targets used by the terror group. That included launchers, command centers, and weapons storage facilities scattered across Lebanon.

"More than 150 Hezbollah terrorists were killed," the IDF statement revealed, along with those massive infrastructure hits. One of the key figures taken out was Ali Reza Abbas, the commander of Hezbollah's unit in Bint Jbeil. That southern Lebanese town has long been a major Hezbollah stronghold, and it is where the IDF's Division 98 has been locked in heavy fighting lately.

"Additional commanders in the terror organization were also eliminated," the IDF added.

Abbas was not just directing attacks against Israeli forces in the area. He had a long history of involvement in terror plots targeting military personnel, especially during Operation Roaring Lion. He also played a role in trying to bolster Hezbollah's presence in Bint Jbeil.

In a separate push, the IDF's 91st Division teamed up with the Israeli Air Force for an operation in the southern Lebanese town of Dibbin just before the ceasefire.

They struck over 70 targets and killed more than 20 terrorists in that strike alone.

Since Operation Roaring Lion launched in late February, the IDF says it has taken out more than 1,800 Hezbollah terrorists across Lebanon. Not exactly the kind of scorecard that suggests the terror group is in any position to claim victory.

Taxpayer-funded Minneapolis HS building Islamic prayer room for Muslim students

A Minneapolis-area school district has announced plans to install a dedicated prayer room and foot-washing station for Muslim students at two of its high schools, because nothing says "public education" like turning taxpayer-funded buildings into mini-mosques.

The Osseo Area Schools confirmed to Alpha News reporter Liz Collin that the remodel at Park Center Senior High School includes a prayer room, while foot-washing stations are being added to Osseo Senior High School.

The prayer room and foot-washing stations were apparently slipped into the updated plans for the district’s "Building a Better Future" initiative, a roughly 375 million dollar effort that voters approved in 2022 and 2023. Because what better way to build a better future than by renovating schools to accommodate one specific religion's rituals?

But school officials later told the Daily Mail that the Park Center Senior High School’s plans actually call for a “multipurpose space” which was “mislabeled in construction documents” as a prayer room.

“The space could be used for prayer, or other student or staff multipurpose needs throughout the day,” said Kay Villella, executive director of school and community relations.District officials also said the foot-washing plans “were included in updated plans after hearing from user groups on student needs.”

Osseo Area Schools officials have confirmed that the renovations at Park Center Senior High School will include a prayer room.

This is the pattern we have seen again and again. One-way accommodation. One-way deference. The West bends, Islam does not. The institutions of a free society, funded by the taxes of its citizens, are quietly repurposed to serve a parallel legal and moral order that regards our own as inferior. And the elites who preside over this process congratulate themselves on their tolerance, even as they surrender the very principles, secularism, equality before the law, freedom of conscience, that once defined the civilisation they claim to uphold.

It is not multiculturalism at work here. It is cultural replacement by stealth, aided and abetted by a political class too frightened or too ideologically captured to say what is plain: that no other faith demands, and receives, such institutional surrender in the heart of the West. The question is no longer whether this will continue, but how long the public will tolerate it before the consequences become impossible to ignore.

Nigeria:Twenty murdered in suspected Boko Haram attack

(photo: REUTERS/Marvellous Durowaiye)

On March 31st this year, there was a suspected Boko Haram attack in Nigeria in which 20 internally displaced persons (IDPs) were murdered in Mafa, Borno State.

According to reports, the victims were IDPs who had gone into a nearby bush to simply search for firewood. The attackers slit the throats of some victims or shot them at close range. At least 30 others (including children) were abducted in the incident. The victims were described as people who had already been repeatedly displaced by Boko Haram violence.

Boko Haram and its splinter groups (like ISWAP) have carried out multiple attacks in 2025–2026 with varying death tolls, including some involving around 20 deaths (e.g., earlier incidents targeting soldiers or civilians), but the March 31st, Mafa event aligns most closely with the details you mentioned. Violence in the region remains persistent, with civilians often caught in the crossfire or directly targeted.

The armed assaults form part of a surge by Boko Haram and its Islamic State splinter group ISWAP, who have stepped up their deadly attacks on military bases and villages in Nigeria’s insurgency-hit northeast.

The gunmen raided the villages of Pubagu and Mayo-Ladde in the states of Borno and neighbouring Adamawa respectively on Tuesday afternoon, after overwhelming local vigilantes, said Mada Saidu, chairman of Askira-Uba district, where one of the attacks occurred.

At least 11 people were killed in Pubagu and nine in Mayo-Ladde. Homes and shops were torched and food supplies looted, Saidu said.

Islamist terrorists have waged a 17-year insurgency seeking to carve out an Islamic state in northeast Nigeria, killing thousands and displacing at least two million people, aid groups say, despite major military campaigns to root them out.

One is left, as so often in these grim chronicles of African jihadism, with the weary sense that the same story repeats itself with only the names of the villages and the precise number of the dead changing. The Nigerian state, for all its declarations of resolve, appears chronically unable to impose order on a region long surrendered to the logic of holy war.

Mamdani Act: Bill introduced to deport immigrants with extremist ideologies

US Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) has dropped a monster piece of legislation that would crank up the federal government's power to deport, denaturalize, deny citizenship to, and keep out immigrants who are hooked up with extremist ideologies. We're talking socialism, communism, and Islamic fundamentalism here.

The bill, called the MAMDANI Act (Measures Against Marxism’s Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists), is a deliciously direct shot at New York City Mayor comrade Zohran Mamdani and the growing conservative nightmare of a far-left anti-Israel crowd cozying up with Islamist extremists.

Mamdani, that far-left socialist and proud anti-Zionist, has built his whole political brand on anti-Israel activism and has been hammered for pushing anti-Semitic rhetoric.

In his statement, Roy made it clear the legislation is all about giving the government better tools to screen out immigrants peddling anti-American and anti-Western garbage.

“Not just for the last six years, but for the last 60 years, our immigration system has been cynically used to disadvantage American workers’ competitiveness in favor of mass-importing the third world,” Roy added. “This has not just led to higher crime and lower wages, but also the promulgation of hostile ideologies fundamentally opposed to American values.”

The congressman said the bill is aimed squarely at what he called a “Red-Green Alliance” between far-left and Islamist extremists. That unholy partnership has been stoking antisemitism, anti-American radicalism, and open support for terrorist outfits while hiding behind the fig leaf of progressive politics.

“By targeting the Red-Green Alliance, this legislation deploys new tools to fight back against the Marxist and Islamist advance that has devastated Europe and has now arrived on our doorstep, especially in my home state of Texas,” Roy added.

BREAKING: Trump says female Iranian prisoners will not be executed as per his request

President Trump claimed on Truth Social that he was told by Iranian authorities the eight women who were to be executed tonight, Wednesday.

He said that four of the women will be released immediately and the others will be sentenced to one month in prison, he posted.

Trump claimed credit for the lifting of the death sentence, based on a previous post where he told Iranian authorities that not executing the prisoners would be a "great start to our negotiations."

Unfortunately, the executions have not been definitively stopped or confirmed as halted. That is, reports are conflicting and basically unverified as of today.

The eight women named are: Bita Hemmati, Panah Movahedi, Mahboubeh Shabani, Ensieh Nejati, Ghazal Ghalandari, Diana Taherabadi, Golnaz Naraghi, and Venus Hosseininejad. They were reportedly arrested in connection with the 2025–2026 Iranian protests against the regime. Some faced serious charges like security-related offenses or moharebeh (waging war against Allah), which can carry the death penalty in Iran, as can many other things such as being raped as a woman without witnesses; being an atheist, Jew, Christian and refusing to pay a tax (jizya), or drawing a picture of their so called prophet, Mohammed.

Human rights groups have raised alarms about unfair trials, torture, and a broader spike in executions, in which there has been more than 1,600 in 2025, while political cases are still ongoing.

Only limited cases (e.g., Bita Hemmati as a potential first female protester execution) had clearer confirmation of death sentences from independent sources; claims about all eight being imminently executed came primarily from activist accounts, such as one by Eyal Yakoby that circulated widely.

Iran's judiciary quickly denied the claims as "fake news," stating: No such imminent executions were planned. Some of the women had already been released. 

Others faced lesser charges that would at most result in imprisonment, not death, they claim. State media echoed this, rejecting President Trump's narrative. 

No independent verification of executions being carried out, stopped, or commuted for all eight. Human rights organizations (e.g., Amnesty International) have warned of risks to protesters but haven't confirmed mass death sentences or last-minute halts for this specific group.

So what is the truth? I guess we'll find out.

Final thought: it's very possible that Iran is lying to the public about this being fake news in order to make President Trump look foolish or simply look wrong. We don't know anything right now and hopefully we'll find out soon. I would never bet against President Trump when he makes a bold claim like this one.

Iran is a total clusterfrack today

The Iranian government appears deeply divided and weakened with power struggles.

Reports indicate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has gained significant influence to the point that the situation can be considered to be a coup, sometimes overriding civilian officials like the Foreign Minister. There's indications that IRGC commanders are controlling military decisions and even isolating parts of the leadership. 

President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration seems sidelined in key areas and he is even less of a figurehead than ever before.

The current ceasefire is nearing its end (or extension deadline) but it looks like President Trump is going to hold off attacking the regime . Iran has sent mixed signals, some officials announced the Strait of Hormuz was "open," but the IRGC contradicted this and attacked vessels, so it's as if the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. 

The situation is highly volatile,

Iran has stated it has "no plans" for further peace talks (e.g., in Islamabad, Pakistan), accusing the US of bad faith [because we refuse to allow them to continue with their nuclear ambitions]. The Trump administration has threatened to resume strikes on infrastructure if no deal is reached, while also signaling a possible short extension tied to Iran's internal fractures.

Meanwhile, the regime continues executions, torture of detainees, and crackdowns on dissent, including against protesters from earlier this year. Opposition groups like the PMOI (Mujahedin-e Khalq) report ongoing anti-regime activities despite the risks.

Pro-regime rallies in Tehran supporting the government, showing some remaining base of support amid the chaos. However, these Islamists are significantly fewer in number than the Iranian people who are attempting to replace the current government with non-terrorist people.

Broader ContextThe regime survived the immediate aftermath of the strikes and Khamenei's death without collapsing, but it is "seriously fractured," as Trump has noted. Economic damage from sanctions, protests, and the war has compounded long-standing issues. The IRGC's hardline stance seems to be driving more aggressive or inconsistent policies compared to the Foreign Ministry.

No one knows exactly "who’s in charge" at every moment, with the IRGC appearing to hold significant de facto power. The situation remains fluid--talks could resume, the ceasefire could extend (or break), or escalation could return quickly. 

It's a veritable clusterfrack.

Southern Poverty Law Center up to its eyeballs in legal stuff

U.S. Attorney's Office, Middle District of Alabama reported that between 2014 and 2023, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including the Ku Klux Klan and National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party). 

And you wonder why they always attacked conservatives and supported leftists.

A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the SPLC with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme. The FBI investigated this case with assistance from the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI).

An indictment is merely an allegation of course, and all defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

“The SPLC allegedly engaged in a massive fraud operation to deceive their donors, enrich themselves, and hide their deceptive operations from the public," said FBI Director Kash Patel. "They lied to their donors, vowing to dismantle violent extremist groups, and actually turned around and paid the leaders of these very extremist groups - even utilizing the funds to have these groups facilitate the commission of state and federal crimes. That is illegal – and this is an ongoing investigation against all individuals involved.”

The SPLC is a non-profit organization headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, whose mission, according to its website during the relevant time period, was to be a “catalyst for racial justice in the South and beyond, working in partnership with communities to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements, and advance the human rights of all people.” [Not to include Republicans, conservatives and anyone who even thought of voting for President Trump.]

According to the indictment starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent and extremist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, or who had infiltrated violent extremist groups at the SPLC’s direction. Unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website. 

“Donors gave their money believing they were supporting the fight against violent extremism,” said Acting United States Attorney Kevin Davidson. “As alleged, the SPLC instead diverted a portion of those funds to benefit individuals and groups they claimed to oppose. That kind of deception undermines public trust and social cohesion.”

"Today’s indictment reflects that no one, no organization, is above the law,” said Special Agent in Charge Sara J. Jones with the FBI-Mobile Field Office. “Charitable donors deserve transparency about how their contributions will be used, and those who betray that trust through concealment and fraudulent means must be held accountable. The alleged fraudulent activities of the Southern Poverty Law Center sowed hate-filled discord and spurred criminal conduct as set forth in the indictment. The FBI will continue to work tirelessly to protect the American public from financial crimes and to pursue justice against those who violate public trust."

Between 2014 and 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million in donated funds to individuals who were associated with various violent extremist groups including: Ku Klux Klan, United Klans of America, Unite the Right, National Alliance, National Socialist Movement, Aryan Nations affiliated Sadistic Souls Motorcycle Club, National Socialist Party of America (American Nazi Party), American Front.

Holy hypocrisy Bat Person!

According to the indictment, the objective of the scheme and artifice was to obtain money via donations through materially false representations and omissions about what the donated funds would be used for.

In order to covertly pay the individuals, the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities. The covert nature of the accounts allowed the SPLC to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the individuals. In order to keep the scheme going, the SPLC made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.

A conviction will result in the forfeiture of financial gains from the alleged illegal activities.Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement in Washington.

The details contained in the civil forfeiture complaint are allegations only, but c'mon, this has been going on since bell bottoms were in vogue. Time to close them down.

Comrade Bernie Sanders-backed group just endorsed a billionaire in governor's race

Millionaire Comrade Bernie and his bad breath

Well, here’s a twist you almost have to admire for its sheer lack of self-awareness. Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) used to attack millionaires and billionaires, but now that he has become a millionaire, it's only the billionaires now that he goes after. Hypocrisy much?

Billionaire California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer has just landed the endorsement of Our Revolution, a group tied to Bernie Sanders that has made a name for itself railing against… billionaires.

Yes, really.

To their credit, the group didn’t try to dodge the obvious contradiction. They leaned into it, acknowledging Steyer’s billionaire status in a press release while insisting that “it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.”

So, the problem isn’t billionaires; it’s the wrong billionaires. 

“Tom Steyer understands that California’s affordability crisis is not inevitable, it’s the result of a political system shaped by concentrated wealth and corporate power at the expense of working people,” said Our Revolution Executive Director Joseph Geevarghese.

“At a moment when too many defend the status quo, Tom has taken a different path, challenging the very system that benefits people like him,” he added.

And if you’re keeping score at home, the group even noted on X that this is the first time they’ve endorsed a billionaire for public office. Historic stuff.

Steyer, for his part, was more than happy to accept the nod, saying he’s “honored” and promising that “as Governor, [he’ll] work tirelessly to realize our shared vision of a California that works for working people.”

Meanwhile, Our Revolution’s own website still proudly calls for efforts to “Defund Oligarchy” and to “eliminate in the influence of corporations, billionaires and consultants in our political process.” Apparently, there are exceptions, especially when the billionaire in question is writing checks in the right direction.

Steyer, a climate activist who made his fortune founding Farallon Capital, is worth about $2.4 billion, according to Forbes. He’s poured tens of millions into saturating California’s airwaves, something he also did during his unsuccessful 2020 presidential bid.

And here’s the kicker: it might actually be working because he has a 'D' after his name and that's all it takes for the left.

Polling aggregated by RealClearPolitics suggests Steyer is currently the top Democrat heading into the June 2 top-two primary.

The race, however, is anything but settled. Eric Swalwell dropped out and resigned from Congress following multiple sexual misconduct allegations, blowing up what many thought was the Democrats’ strongest hand.

The field is still crowded, with Steyer facing off against Katie Porter, Xavier Becerra, and Matt Mahan, among others. Betty Yee has already bowed out after weak polling, and Gavin Newsom hasn’t tipped his frenetic hand on a successor.

On the Republican side, Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are still putting up respectable numbers—enough to raise the outside possibility of a Democratic lockout in California’s “jungle primary.”

In that system, the top two vote-getters—party labels be damned—advance to November.

And if current trends hold, one of them could very well be a billionaire endorsed by a group that exists to oppose billionaires. 

Politics doesn’t get much cleaner than that.
