Trump Needs To Issue A Fatwa Against Islam
UPDATE: CENTCOM says the Strait of Hormuz is open for business:
The US unleashed its military might on Iran after the regime attacked a commercial vessel and declared the Strait of Hormuz closed Saturday.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted on X:
US forces pounded the Islamic Republic late Saturday, striking 140 targets including missile and drone sites, naval assets, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and surveillance locations, United States Central Command said in a statement.
Over 300 targets inside Iran have now been hit since the regime first violated the fragile cease-fire by launching missiles at commercial ships traversing the Strait of Hormuz on July 6, the agency added.
The strikes were launched after Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy attacked the M/V GFS Galaxy, a Cyprus-flagged container ship, and declared the crucial waterway closed.
A civilian crew member from the ship is now missing and the vessel suffered significant engine room damage in the strikes, CENTCOM said.
Iran also targeted other ships navigating the strait, and the US shot down several drones, an official told the Wall Street Journal.
The US vowed that Tehran would pay a “heavy cost” and said that the retaliation, which began at 7:15 p.m. ET, was being carried out under the direction of the commander in chief, President Trump.
“Iran was provided yet another opportunity to demonstrate adherence to the Memorandum of Understanding after being held accountable for earlier attacks on commercial vessels but has again failed,” CENTCOM said in a statement on X.
Explosions were heard in the southern Iranian coastal cities of Bushehr Chabahar and Asaluyeh early Sunday local time, Iranian state-run media reported.
Iranian state media claimed that military buildings were hit in the Busehr strikes, and a military site in Deyr was also hit.
There were also strikes in the city of Kagan, which is near Iran’s vital South Pars oil and gas field, and in Jask, according to the New York Times.
Additional strikes were reported deeper inside Iran, including in the city of Kerman, which is 300 miles away from the coast, CNN reported.
The regime responded to the fierce US retaliation by launching wave of attacks on multiple US allies in the region.
The United Arab Emirates Defense Ministry announced that Iran had targeted the country with a missile and drone onslaught.
“The UAE’s air defenses are currently engaging with missile attacks and incoming drones from Iran,” The UAE’s Ministry of Defense posted on X.
Jordan’s Prince Hassan Air Force base was also targeted by numerous ballistic missiles, according to Iranian State Media.
The IRGC claimed to have destroyed a command and control center and several drone storage facilities at the base, CNN reported.
In addition, Qatar’s air defenses intercepted a missile attack, the ministry of defense posted on X.
Iran had earlier warned that US strikes would be met with a “severe” response and that “new enemy bases” in the Middle East would be targeted.
Alarm sirens also rang out in Bahrain, the country’s Interior Ministry announced.
The IRGC claimed to have fired a “warning shot” at the Cyprus-flagged ship, which was traversing an “unauthorized route.”
“Following this incident … the Strait of Hormuz will be closed until further notice and until the end of the American interventions in this area, and no vessels will be allowed to pass through it,” it said in a statement.
Iran’s attack came after the Trump administration issued an ultimatum to Tehran on Friday, demanding that the regime publicly declare that the Strait of Hormuz was open for business and that there would be no further attacks on shipping.
Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Dead At 71
Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican senator from South Carolina, died suddenly on Saturday night, his office said.
Graham, whose 71st birthday was Thursday, recently returned from Ukraine after meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky. Graham told reporters in Kyiv on Friday that a bipartisan group of senators had reached an agreement with the White House to impose new sanctions on Russia in an effort to end that country’s long-running war with Ukraine.
In its statement early Sunday, Graham’s office said only that the senator had “passed away from a brief and sudden illness.” The statement said that Graham’s family appreciates prayers and asks for privacy.
Emergency medical responders worked to stabilize a man at Graham’s home on Saturday night and transport him to a hospital, according to police scanner audio obtained by The Washington Post and eyewitnesses.
Graham, a leading GOP foreign policy voice, was running for reelection this year.
Graham’s death narrows Republicans’ majority in the Senate, where they had held a 53-47 edge. Under South Carolina law, the state’s Republican governor can make an immediate appointment to fill Graham’s seat for the remainder of his term, which expires in January.
Leftists Conspire To (Keep Blacks In The Ghetto) Prevent Blacks From Learning Proper English
Leftists will do whatever it takes to maintain underachievement among blacks, because this keeps them on the Democrat plantation. Some would even deny them the ability to speak proper English.
Fox News reports:
A group of radical left-wing groups in California are pushing for schools to add Black vernacular into a Golden State program that pushes multilingualism for kids.
Black Californians United for Early Care and Education (BlackECE) is a “collaborative partnership of organizations committed to advancing language justice for Black children in early childhood education.” Those groups include Californians Together, Catalyst California and Early Edge.
(You know this is dangerous for our children. There are many red flags in this scene.)
The ostensible objective as usual is equity. Teaching kids to talk like ghetto trash will “challenge harmful language hierarchies.” Black English is presented as a “legitimate” language, warranting consideration under the progressive concept of multilingualism, which is employed to splinter the country apart into a Tower of Babel the better to destroy it.
PBS strategically provided a megaphone for BlackECE cofounder Ashley Williams:
“I don’t want my son to walk into any room and feel like his voice is not valued or his perspective can’t be heard because he’s not saying it in one way or the other,” she told the outlet. “But with that comes a lot of shame and embarrassment because you’re being constantly corrected when you’re still in a moment when you’re just learning language.”
Got to get them young, before they learn to speak English correctly. Otherwise, they might assimilate into mainstream American culture.
Williams recalled being teased for “talking white” by family members, and complained that her teachers were “adamant about proper English,” which she said made her feel insecure.
Similarly, proper math might make some feel insecure and even result in teasing for adding and subtracting white. It may be abolished in favor of black math, according to which 2 + 2 = whatever makes the oppressed feel affirmed.
If the Smithsonian’s propaganda takes hold, blacks may also be teased for succumbing to “white supremacy culture” if they engage in hard work and rational thinking.

LGBTQ+ Cruise Ship Refused Entry To Egypt Days After Turkey Turned It Away
An LGBTQ+ cruise ship blocked from Turkish waters this week has been refused entry into Egypt.
The Scarlet Lady’s 2,000 passengers, including the Broadway performer Patti LuPone, woke on Thursday morning to find a note placed under their cabin doors informing them that the ship was urgently looking for alternative ports.
“Early this morning, we were informed that Scarlet Lady has been denied entry into Egyptian waters, and, as a result, will no longer be able to call in Alexandria today,” Rich Campbell, the chief executive of Atlantis Events, the tour group that chartered the Virgin Voyages ship, told passengers.
“I know how much this visit meant to so many of you. We successfully sailed a similar itinerary last year without issue. So we were surprised by this unfortunate decision,” he wrote.
The note concluded: “Please know that both the Atlantis and Virgin Voyages teams worked tirelessly to make this call in Alexandria a possibility. This news came as a surprise to all of us, and we’re just as disappointed as you are.”
The visit to Egypt was already a change to the planned tour, hastily arranged after the ship was refused entry to Turkey. No official reason has yet been given for the decision of the Egyptian government.
The 10-day Athens to Venice cruise was blocked from Turkey after authorities published a statement online saying the cruise was chartered “by groups known for behaviours that do not align with the structure of our society and our moral values”.
The ship’s arrival had been cancelled after it “sparked significant public concern”, they added. “There is absolutely no possibility of the group in question visiting our province for an event of this nature.”
Kyle Olsen, the owner of Hermes Holidays, another LGBTQ+ tour company, said he believed that if Turkey had not refused entry to the ship this week, Egypt would not have issued its ban. “I worry that other countries are going to be emboldened in turn to ban gay cruises from their ports as well,” he said.
“This is a sad representation of the way the world is going. Successive governments are falling to rightwing groups and the rights of LGBT+ people are being taken away as a result across the globe.”
