Trump Blasts Iranian Media Reports, Tells Tehran To Get Its Act Together Or Else

President Donald Trump on Friday ripped Iranian media reports about a potential deal to end the war, adding that the regime in Tehran better “get their act together.”

“The terms that Iran leaked out to the Fake News have NOTHING to do with the terms that were agreed to, in writing. What they said, including their weak and pathetic statement on having a deal, bears no relation to the truth,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Very dishonorable people to deal with. With them, there is no such thing as dealing in good faith. AMAZING! Also, their totally rebuffed Drone attack last night against Indian Ships leaving the Hormuz Strait is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. They better get their act together, and FAST!” he added.

In classic form, the ayatollahs’ state-run propaganda machine immediately began leaking terms that sounded suspiciously like they came from a regime that still thinks it’s 1979 and Jimmy Carter is in charge. Iranian state media earlier Friday shared purported details of the possible memorandum of understanding that could be signed with the U.S., according to Reuters.

It cited the IRNA news agency as saying that under the agreement, Iran would make no commitment regarding the transfer of the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

Instead, the future administration of the Strait reportedly would be decided through dialogue and joint decision-making between Iran and Oman, a country in close proximity to the area.

The IRNA news agency added that discussions about the future of Iran’s nuclear program would take place within a 60-day period after the agreement is signed, Reuters added.

Of course, because nothing says “peace deal” like letting the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism keep control of the most important oil chokepoint on Earth while they quietly restart their nuclear hobby in the background. 

Trump, never one to suffer fools or mullahs gladly, made it crystal clear that America isn’t falling for the same old sand-dune shenanigans. The mullahs can either shape up, or the deal is deader than their economy under decades of glorious revolutionary management.

New Accuser Says Platner’s Nazi Tattoo Was Actually A Reminder That America Is The Real Villain

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner’s increasingly cursed tattoo saga took another sharp turn this week after a former romantic partner claimed the candidate fully understood the meaning behind his infamous Nazi insignia and allegedly treated it like a progressive TED Talk on American imperialism.

The unidentified woman told the New York Post she was romantically involved with Platner in 2021, back when the future Senate hopeful was apparently juggling a fiancée, a dating app habit, and a chest tattoo straight out of a History Channel documentary on “Europe’s Worst Ideas.”

“As a person who is a leftist, I immediately looked at him and asked him, ‘Is that a Totenkopf?’ and he told me a whole, ‘he will hold this weight forever’ bravado sob story about how it was, but he decided to keep it as a reminder that the United States was the evil, bad guy overseas,” she told The Post.

Apparently Platner’s explanation was not, “Oops, my bad,” but instead the classic progressive defense of “Actually America is the real fascist.”

The Post reported it corroborated portions of the woman’s account through old text messages and social media posts, because in 2026 every political scandal now comes with archived receipts and emotionally unstable screenshots.

“I very briefly was talking to and then consequently seeing Graham Platner from about February 2021 until mid July 2021 when it was revealed to me that he was cheating on his fiancée at the time,” the woman posted on X. “He knew about the fu**ing tattoo.”

According to screenshots she shared, the relationship apparently involved Nazi tattoos, infidelity, bizarre bedroom sound effects, and enough red flags to qualify as a Soviet military parade.

In one message to her mother, she reportedly blasted Platner over his “Nazi tattoo” and “small d—k,” while also accusing him of making “weird noises” and “fu**ing around on his fiancée.” In another message to a friend, she warned, “Better not take a peek at the Nazi tattoo on his chest.”

Somewhere, Democratic campaign strategists are likely wondering whether it’s still too late to run literally anyone else.

The woman also pushed back against claims that critics of Platner are just right wing operatives trying to sabotage the campaign.

“I think you’ll find that contrary to the current spin of his campaign, I am not in fact a ‘Republican operative’ hell bent on destroying his campaign, but instead am and have been very much on the left side of the political spectrum,” she wrote.

That clarification probably hurt Democrats even more. It is one thing when conservatives call you out for questionable behavior. It is another when your fellow leftists start sounding like opposition research teams.

In a lengthy statement, the woman explained she had moved to Maine during the pandemic to work at a “glamping resort” near Acadia National Park and joined Tinder because she knew nobody in the area. Unfortunately, instead of meeting a rugged outdoorsman or emotionally available yoga instructor, she matched with a Democratic Senate candidate carrying what appeared to be a live action Reddit thread on his chest.

The accusations are only the latest headache for Platner, whose explanation for the tattoo has been unraveling faster than a CNN fact check during a Republican debate.

Earlier this week, Platner’s former political director accused him of “a pattern of dishonest behavior,” which in modern politics is basically the equivalent of saying water is wet.

Despite the growing pile of controversies, Maine Democrats selected Platner on Tuesday to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The choice came after weeks of revelations involving disturbing social media activity, explicit messages with multiple women, and reports that Platner maintained an account on a platform allegedly frequented by child predators.

At this point, Democrats appear to be following the proven electoral strategy of “Surely voters won’t notice.”

Platner’s campaign attempted damage control yet again.

“Graham’s repeatedly said he picked a skull and crossbones tattoo off a wall in Croatia to commemorate surviving Ramadi and his friends who were killed there,” a spokesperson told The Post. “Graham has also since covered up the tattoo and answered countless questions about it.”

Critics noted this is a very unusual explanation, largely because most Americans commemorate military service with a shadow box, a challenge coin, or maybe a bumper sticker, not a symbol widely recognized from Nazi iconography.

Still, Democrats remain optimistic voters will focus on the important issues, like protecting democracy from mean tweets and banning gas stoves.

Trump Pauses Iran Strikes, Believes A Deal is Imminent

WASHINGTON, D.C. — After spending the morning threatening to turn Iran’s military infrastructure into a parking lot, President Trump abruptly announced Thursday afternoon that peace was back on the menu and the whole thing was “all wrapped up,” proving once again that Middle East diplomacy now operates like a New York real estate negotiation conducted entirely through Truth Social posts.

“We have a deal,” Trump reportedly told aides moments after allegedly green-lighting, canceling, then re-green-lighting a plan to seize Iran’s Kharg Island before finally deciding he preferred making headlines instead.

“Based on the fact that discussions with the Islamic Republic of Iran have been brought to the highest level of Iranian leadership and approved, I have, as President of the United States of America, cancelled the scheduled strikes and bombings against Iran this evening,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

“Discussions and final points have been, in both concept and great detail, approved by all parties involved, including the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others.”

Sources inside Washington confirmed several Pentagon officials were informed of the cancellation only after seeing the president’s post sandwiched between advertisements for gold coins and pillows.

The agreement reportedly includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, renewed nuclear negotiations, and what experts are calling “the annual Middle East ceasefire that lasts somewhere between four hours and two weeks.”

“It’s pretty much all wrapped up,” Trump told The Post in a phone call that insiders say lasted roughly the same amount of time as one of his golf putts.

The sudden diplomatic breakthrough came just hours after Trump warned Iran he would strike them “VERY HARD TONIGHT” and floated plans to take over Kharg Island and “assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets.”

“At some point in the not too distant future, we will be taking Kharg Island, and other oil infrastructure points, and assume total control of their Oil and Gas Markets, much like we have with Venezuela,” Trump wrote earlier Thursday morning, causing cable news producers nationwide to begin hyperventilating into paper bags.

Trump later explained that conquering the island remained his preferred option.

“We ⁠are talking ⁠to them, and all, but you know, ⁠look, my preference has always been — take ⁠Kharg Island … my preference would be that,” he said on “Fox and Friends.”

“⁠I don’t know that America has the stomach for it.”

Political analysts immediately translated the statement to mean, “Trump still wants the win, but he also remembers Americans get cranky when their sons are deployed to defend democracy in places they can’t find on a map.”

Meanwhile, Iran appeared to respond to the agreement with the traditional diplomatic strategy of denying the agreement exists at all.

“An informed source told FNA Iran has not approved any draft agreement or initial memorandum with the US, contradicting President Donald Trump’s claim that Tehran agreed to a finalized text,” Iran’s Fars News Agency posted to X.

Observers noted this marks approximately the 38th time Trump has declared an Iran deal “close,” though supporters insist that unlike previous administrations, at least this time America bombed something before negotiating.

At press time, CNN was reportedly preparing a seven-part special explaining why peace in the Middle East is actually bad news for democracy.

President Trump warns that the US is "very close" to making Iran's infrastructure a smoking crater

FRISCO, TX — President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that the United States is now “very close” to replacing Iran’s infrastructure with a large smoking crater after the regime allegedly spent months “tap, tap, tapping” its way through negotiations like a telemarketer trying to extend your car warranty. Is anyone really surprised?

“I may keep going,” Trump told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst. “They had a chance to sign a deal and survive.”

According to administration officials, Iran reportedly believed it could stall talks indefinitely by recycling the same strategy it used on previous American presidents: smile politely, drag things out for years, collect pallets of cash, and wait for CNN and MS Now to explain why America is the real aggressor and Trump is a bad man.

Unfortunately for Tehran, they are no longer negotiating with the foreign policy genius who gave them the JCPOA and a free pass to chant “Death to America” between uranium enrichment sessions.

“We hit them hard yesterday, and we're going to hit them again hard today,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “And we'll see what happens with the deal. We were really close to a deal, but they keep tapping us along. They keep playing us for suckers because you know what? They dealt with some very stupid Presidents.”

I can't imagine who he is referring to.  

Trump later clarified that by “very stupid Presidents,” he was referring to any commander in chief who thought the Iranian regime could be bribed into becoming Sweden.

“It was just tap, tap, tap,” Trump said. “I don't know what they are doing.”

Sources close to the administration confirmed Iran’s negotiating strategy largely consisted of pretending to compromise while enriching uranium and funding every terrorist organization west of the moon.

Trump also blasted Barack Obama’s nuclear agreement with Iran, calling it “the worst deal.”

“We want a deal that is meaningful, a deal that works. We don't want a Barack Hussein Obama deal, JCPOA, the worst deal,” Trump said, making sure we remember Obama's Islamic-sounding name. “That was a path to a nuclear weapon.”

Political analysts say Democrats were deeply troubled by Trump’s comments because they prefer their hostile Islamist regimes “stable, respected, and flush with American cash.”

Trump warned that a nuclear Iran would spell disaster for the region.

“If they had a nuclear weapon, there would be no Israel, there would be no Middle East, and they would have absolutely shot at us,” Trump continued.

Meanwhile, Trump casually revealed that the U.S. military has apparently been vaporizing Iran’s oil operations while most corporate media outlets remained busy fact-checking whether Trump used an improper verb tense during a rally speech.

“Did you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil?” Trump asked. “Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran. Until right now. We took out, the other night, 22 ships.”

Pentagon officials later confirmed the administration had also launched a secret mission protecting ships through the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in over 100 million barrels of oil reaching global markets safely.

“This wildly successful effort is because the UNITED STATES of AMERICA CONTROLS the Strait of Hormuz — NOT Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Their military is defeated, and their economy is lost. It’s over for Iran!”

The Communist News Network [CNN] reportedly responded to the post by immediately assembling a panel of former Obama officials to explain why controlling a strategic global oil route is actually problematic for democracy.

The conflict escalated after CENTCOM launched “self-defense” strikes against Iranian military targets following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump described the rescue of the helicopter pilots as “a miracle,” explaining that an Iranian drone became lodged in the aircraft during the attack.

“It was on fire, it was hot,” Trump said, sounding almost as if he was feeling the heat.

Military experts confirmed this still remains significantly less uncomfortable than sitting through a State Department briefing under the Biden administration.

Iranian officials responded to Trump’s comments by vowing they would “respond to threats accordingly,” which analysts translated loosely as “angrily issuing statements before another military facility explodes mysteriously overnight.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also warned Iran against escalating the conflict further.

“President Trump is seeking a deal,” Hegseth said. “But not just a deal, a great deal on behalf of the American people so that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon.”

At press time, European leaders were reportedly urging “restraint” while quietly hoping the United States continues doing all the work.

Race hustlers have a new cause to rant about: Karmelo Anthony's verdict by an "all-white jury"

FRISCO, TX — America’s professional outrage industry went into full DEFCON 1 Tuesday after a Texas jury took approximately the length of a Chick-fil-A drive-thru order to convict Karmelo Anthony of murder, prompting activists to declare the verdict proof that the nation remains irredeemably racist.

Anthony was convicted for fatally stabbing high school athlete Austin Metcalf at a 2025 track meet after what witnesses described as a brief dispute that could have ended with literally anyone just walking away. Instead, Anthony reportedly chose the “escalate directly to homicide” option.

Video footage showed Anthony refusing repeated requests to leave the opposing team’s tent before pulling out a knife and turning a teenage argument into an episode of “Law & Order: Critical Race Unit.”

Naturally, race hustler activists immediately clarified that the real victim here was the guy holding the knife.

Dallas activist and Next Generation Action Network founder Dominique Alexander condemned the verdict as “flawed” and “unjust,” warning that “Black America should be very upset about what went on today.”

According to Alexander, the conviction proves that “black lives do not matter in the criminal justice system,” apparently because juries are now expecting people not to stab other people to death at school sporting events.

Alexander also insisted he was not “playing the race card,” moments before unfolding the race card, laminating it, and slamming it onto the table hard enough to crack the wood.

Meanwhile, self-proclaimed “Prince of Pan-Africanism” Dr. Umar Johnson compared the case to the Dred Scott decision because apparently every criminal conviction involving a black defendant is now legally equivalent to antebellum slavery.

Johnson declared on Instagram that Anthony had been “lynched by an all-white jury,” despite the inconvenient detail that the case involved a public trial, defense attorneys, evidence, witnesses, and significantly fewer ropes than most lynchings historically featured.

Celebrity race hustler attorney Ben Crump also weighed in, saying the case raises “hard questions about fairness, justice, and whose actions earn the benefit of understanding.”

Many observers agreed the question was indeed difficult, particularly the part where one teenager stabbed another teenager in the chest and then activists spent months explaining why society should be more understanding about it.

CNN contributor Areva Martin argued the verdict “raises questions” and predicted appeals related to the exclusion of black jurors.

“Faith in our courts requires more than a conviction or an acquittal,” Martin said. “It requires confidence that every defendant was afforded a fair trial.”

Critics noted that the defendant did, in fact, receive a fair trial, complete with attorneys, evidence review, witness testimony, and the radical legal principle that murder is generally frowned upon.

Martin also defended Anthony’s actions by suggesting he feared for his life, despite testimony that Metcalf explicitly said he did not want to fight him.

Legal scholars confirmed this marks the first known case where hearing “I don’t want to fight” was interpreted as an imminent threat requiring immediate stabbing.

Not every black commentator joined the outrage parade, however. Judge Glenda Hatchett said she saw no “basis for self-defense” and questioned why Anthony simply didn’t leave the tent when asked.

“He was not supposed to be in the tent,” Hatchett said. “He was asked to leave the tent. Why not just leave the tent?”

Civil rights leaders across the country immediately condemned Hatchett for recklessly introducing personal responsibility into the conversation.

Erdogan Says Israel’s ‘Aggression’ Threatens Turkey, Entire Mediterranean Region, And Also His Own Long List Of Grievances

ANKARA—Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned Wednesday that Israel’s continued existence poses an existential threat to Turkey, the Mediterranean, world peace, small puppies, and probably his approval ratings.

Erdogan also said there were initiatives, led by Israel, to destabilize the Mediterranean region and warned that "nobody should chase adventures" or join Israel's "boat of mischief." He was not referring to Greta Thunberg and her scumcrumpet voyagers.

The NATO member, which has spent years perfecting the art of being furious at Jews while cozying up to every Islamist troublemaker in the region, blasted Israel as the biggest obstacle to peace. Turkey has helpfully halted all trade with Israel and demanded the international community do something, preferably involving strongly worded letters and zero self-reflection.

"The attacks by (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu and his network of murder on Lebanon and Syria have brought the issue to a point where it also threatens Turkey," Erdogan told lawmakers from his ruling AK Party in parliament, and added that Ankara's security was tied to that of these two countries.

Erdogan also said Israel was leading a "sneaky effort" to destabilize African countries and the Mediterranean by igniting "the fire of discord" on the ethnically split island of Cyprus. "These small entities, whose ambitions far exceed their size, have boarded Israel's boat of mischief, taken on the role of Zionist subcontractors, and are pursuing some pipe dreams in the Eastern Mediterranean," he said, without elaborating, thinking his audience were idiots.

Turkey blames Israeli provocations for starting US-Iran war and for rainy days and Mondays.

"Nobody should chase adventures... I want everyone to know that if the rights of Turkey and Turkish Cypriots are violated in the Eastern Mediterranean, our response will be very clear and very strong."

Turkey, Iran's neighbor, has blamed Israel's "provocations" for starting the US-Iran war, because apparently nothing bad ever happens in the Middle East unless the Jews make it happen. Erdogan [who obviously read Surah Al-Ma'idah in the Qur'an] on Wednesday urged world powers to take a clearer stance against Israel, saying it was emboldened by the "silence of the international community."

"Pulling Israel back to within the bounds of the rule of law has become a shared duty not just for certain countries, but for all of humanity," he said.

Netanyahu hits back at 'anti-Semitic' Erdogan, 'oppressor,' genocide against Kurds. 

In an X/Twitter post, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hit back at Erdogan, saying, "The anti-Semitic dictator Erdoğan, who is committing genocide against the Kurds, backing the Hamas terrorist organization, oppressing his own people, and imprisoning his political rivals, is the last person who should be lecturing the State of Israel."

"The State of Israel and the IDF, the most moral military in the world, will continue to act decisively against Iran and its proxies, which threaten the Middle East and the entire world," Bibi added.

At press time, Erdogan was reportedly preparing a strongly worded speech about how only Turkey is allowed to have ambitions in the Mediterranean, because reasons.

Belfast goes thermal after Sudanese migrant arrested in brutal knife attack

In the latest grim chapter of a story that much of Europe has grown wearily familiar with, a Sudanese asylum seeker stands accused of attempting to murder a Belfast man by stabbing him and blinding him in one eye. The attack, captured in horrific graphic footage that spread like wildfire across the internet, has ignited not merely outrage but actual violence on the streets of Northern Ireland, violence that reveals the brittle fault lines beneath the surface of a society long lectured about the blessings of diversity.

Hadi Alodid, 30, charged with attempted murder and possessing a knife after Monday night attack.

First responders rushed to a Belfast neighborhood after violence erupted following a stabbing that seriously injured a local man.

Alodid appeared via video link in Belfast Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, where he was remanded in custody. Prosecutors allege he blinded Stephen Ogilvie in his left eye during the assault. He faces charges of attempted murder, threatening to kill a radiographer, and possessing a knife. 

Speaking through an Arabic interpreter, Alodid declined legal representation and entered no plea.

The assault took place shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Monday in north Belfast. Police describe Ogilvie, a man in his forties, as suffering serious injuries to his face, neck, back, and eyes. A kitchen knife was recovered from the scene. Bystanders, including one wielding a hurling stick, intervened with what PSNI Assistant Chief Constable Ryan Henderson rightly called “heroic” action. Their courage, it seems, was all that stood between the victim and a worse fate.

Yet the aftermath has been uglier still. 

Burned-out cars and boarded-up houses now scar McMaster Street in east Belfast. Masked men, acting in the shadows, set fire to homes they believed housed immigrants. They torched bins, attacked a bus, and hurled objects at police. Firefighters had to rescue people from blazing buildings. This is not the ordered protest of concerned citizens; it is the chaos that follows when trust in the authorities has collapsed and communities feel abandoned to their fate.

Authorities initially identified Alodid as Somali before correcting his nationality to Sudanese. He entered Northern Ireland from the Republic in 2023, claimed asylum, and was granted a five-year permit to remain, another reminder of how porous borders and generous asylum policies have reshaped these islands. Henderson insisted there was “no information to suggest that this was a terrorist-related incident.” You got to wonder what definition of terrorism is being employed when knives, blindings, and street disorder become routine features of urban life.

Anselme Shima, a resident originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, captured the fear now stalking ordinary people: “I’ve lived on my street for almost 10 years, I have a good relationship with my neighbors, but last night was a horrific one. We don’t know what to do. I’m scared. Seeing this, I’m wondering if I’m next.”

First Minister Michelle O’Neill of Sinn Féin described the unrest as “thuggery.” “Groups of masked men burning families out of their homes is nothing less than disgusting cowardice,” she said. 

Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly of the Democratic Unionist Party added: “taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong.” Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the original stabbing “sickening” and condemned the subsequent violence: “The scenes in Belfast last night were shocking and completely unacceptable. 

There is no justification for the violence and disorder that we saw threatening our communities, nor for those who encouraged it, online or elsewhere. It is clear that people were targeted last night because of their background and I will not tolerate it.”

These are fine words, as such statements always are. Yet they arrive after years of policy that has treated mass immigration, chain migration, and lax asylum procedures as moral imperatives rather than experiments with profound and often irreversible consequences. The open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic, central to the fragile peace process that ended “The Troubles”—is now under scrutiny, as it should be. Working-class areas, where former paramilitaries still hold sway, have borne the brunt of this latest disorder.

This case echoes another recent horror: the murder of freshman student Henry Nowak in Southampton last year. Nowak, who was White, was stabbed repeatedly by Vickrum Digwa, a Sikh man who falsely claimed to have been the victim of a racist assault. Police initially treated the dying Nowak as a suspect. Digwa was convicted of murder and sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years. Such stories accumulate, each one dismissed in isolation by officials desperate to avoid acknowledging a pattern.

The amplification of these events online by figures like Tommy Robinson is predictable. What is less discussed is why such voices find resonance: precisely because the institutions charged with maintaining order have spent years prioritizing narrative over reality. When communities watch their streets change beyond recognition, when stabbings and riots follow in predictable succession, and when the response is platitudes about “thuggery” rather than honest reckoning, unrest is not an aberration, it's the inevitable consequence of elite denial. 

Northern Ireland, like so much of the United Kingdom and Europe, is discovering the hard way that you cannot import large numbers of people from profoundly different cultures, place them under strained welfare systems, and expect social cohesion to magically endure. The bill for that illusion is now being paid in blood and fire.

Breaking: CENTCOM launches self-defense strikes against Iran

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces launched self-defense strikes against the Islamic state at 5:00 p.m. ET today at the direction of our Commander in Chief, President Donald Trump. This comes in response to a downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter yesterday.

The mission is stupidly proportional to this unjustified aggression. I say stupidly because when someone hits you in the nose, you don't just hit him in the nose in retaliation--you beat the crap out of him. 

There were two servicemen in that helicopter that were rescued at sea and are doing fine.

CENTCOM described the strikes as defensive and would be proportional, as I stated.

There have been several explosions in the port city of Sirik and nearby areas of Hormozgan Province like Kuhestak and Minab, as Iranina media noted blasts in the area.

Sirik is a small, strategically located port town on Iran's southern coast in the Strait of Hormuz region.

Some reports also reference military activity near Bandar Abbas, a major Iranian naval port.

There are reports of many KC-135s flying over the Middle East as I write this, indicating a likely scenario where fighter aircraft are ready to go.

More details to follow.

What ceasefire?
