By CATHERINE SALGADO About an hour after promising President Donald Trump that it would stop firing, Hezbollah launched missiles at Israeli civilians. And Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is tired of the world telling him that he is the obstacle to peace. Hezbollah just killed another young Israeli soldier, and the weekend was punctuated with missile attacks on such civilian targets as beaches and shopping malls in northern Israel. In some Israeli towns, a majority of buildings have suffered damage or been destroyed by terrorist attacks. Trump insisted that Israel halt a strike on terrorist targets Monday morning, saying Hezbollah promised him an end to hostilities, but almost immediately afterwards, Hezbollah launched more missiles. A beach. Families. Children. Then, a missile. Hezbollah fired toward civilians in Nahariya, striking just meters from the shoreline. In seconds, a peaceful week...

If in the past, Barnea's promise seemed to be to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, this was an additional time that he doubled or even tripled down on regime change for Iran. By YONAH JEREMY BOB The Mossad announced on Tuesday morning that its outgoing chief, David Barnea, in a retirement ceremony late Monday night, called for Israel and the agency to remain committed to toppling the Islamic regime, which still runs Iran, following the recent 2026 war. If in the past, Barnea's promise seemed to be to prevent Iran from getting a  nuclear weapon , this was an additional time that he doubled or even tripled down on regime change for Iran, remaining as the Mossad's primary mission. "I promised that  Iran  would never get a nuclear weapon. Today, when the Iranian regime is at its weakest, most challenged, and most wounded, this is the time to complete the job, and to pay back the regime which engraved destroying us on its flag. We are at the heig...

By OLIVER JJ LANE British Police have now published a fragment of bodycam footage showing the final moments of Henry Nowak’s life as he was handcuffed by an officer after being stabbed, with critics, including Reform UK figures, stating that it is “hard to escape” the conclusion that the video is evidence of racist policing against whites. Hours after murderer Vickrum Digwa was handed a British-style life sentence with a minimum imprisonment of 21 years, and as demands for the release of police body camera footage from the critical final moments grew, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary chose late Monday night to publish a fragment of footage. Showing just three minutes between officers arriving at the scene and the moment one officer realises stabbing victim Henry Nowak’s eyes have stopped moving before abruptly cutting off, the video had previously been shown to the jury during the murder trial but had not been seen publicly until now. In the footage, a group of p...

Good morning y'all!  This article was shared, and recommended by our great friend Spectral69 in REVEILLE last night. So here it is!  -Tex By Ronny Reyes Iran has dug out a majority of the entrances to its  underground missile bases  that were buried by joint US-Israeli strikes during the height of the war, satellite images show. A recent probe of 18 missile facilities hit during the war shows that at least 50 out of 69 tunnel entrances have been reopened since the cease-fire went into effect in April,  CNN reported. The fast work indicates that Iran would be poised to fire a lot more long-range missiles across the Middle East if the war restarts amid tense peace negotiations. Satellite images captured the rigorous work Tehran has accomplished in just seven weeks across various missile bases, with digging equipment and large trucks seen excavating the tunnel entrances. Workers at one base,  located outside Isfahan , could be seen filling up more than a ...

THE RULING can be appealed to either the full D.C. Circuit Court or directly to the Supreme Court. By Jack Birle The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled on Monday against the Trump administration’s policy of barring transgender troops from the military, finding the policy was arbitrary and implemented with animus. A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that the Department of War’s January 2025 policy, which held that people with gender dysphoria are unfit to serve in the military, is unlawful. The panel’s ruling on the liberal-leaning court limited its scope to the current transgender-identifying service members who were part of the lawsuit, and the Trump administration’s policy is still in effect for transgender-identifying people not already in the military who are seeking to join. “In this litigation, the government has not attempted to defend or provide any factual basis for these disparaging characterizations of American citizens,” U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Wilkins, an...

As we embark upon yet another June, here’s a rated PG-13 reminder of the sick obsession flaunted by rainbow cult members.     By Nate Jackson Editor’s note: In oh-so-solemn observation of June 1, we are reposting this column from 2024. They’re called private parts for a reason. No one should see them or know what you do with them. Not so during “ Pride Month ” — or any of the other liturgical days on the LGBTQ++ad+nauseam calendar celebrating and promoting gender deviancy. June is when everyone is supposed to focus on what a small minority of people suffering from gender confusion pathology do with their genitals. I’m sorry to be so crass, but I’m just calling a spade a spade. If that much offended you, best bow out before reading anymore. And certainly avoid news coverage of any pride parades. Best not to do that in any case. When you strip away all the high-minded garbage about diversity, equity, and inclusion , about “seeing” people and making them feel accepted, about ho...

By Bob Hoge A Utah judge ruled on Monday that the “public and the media enjoy a presumptive right to access court proceedings” regarding the suspected assassin of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk , Tyler Robinson, and therefore, he will not conduct key parts of an upcoming hearing in the dark. The 23-year-old Robinson has been charged with seven counts, including aggravated murder, for allegedly shooting Kirk in September 2025 at a TPUSA event. His defense has repeatedly tried to hide pre-trial hearings and evidence from the public. Not this time : During previous hearings, the defense argued that having the public and press present could create unfair prejudice against their client, complicating the process of forming an unbiased jury. [Fourth Circuit Judge Tony Graf] Graf didn’t agree. “The public and the media enjoy a presumptive right to access court proceedings, including preliminary hearings. A party seeking to close a preliminary hearing must show th...

By David Manney A hiker found human remains on May 28 in the McGaffey Ridge area of Carson National Forest, and New Mexico State Police later identified the remains as those as Melissa Casias, a 53-year-old administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Laboratory. From the New York Post : The body of a missing nuclear lab worker has been found — alongside a gun — almost a year after she vanished without a trace, the latest in a string of disappearances and bizarre deaths involving experts and government employees working at some of the most secretive US national security facilities. The remains of Melissa Casias, 54, who worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, were found in Carson National Forest over the weekend, some six miles from where she was last seen alive on June 26, 2025. She was positively identified by New Mexico State Police on Monday. Investigators also found a handgun beside the remains. Casias vanished on June 26, 2025, after dropping off her h...

By Nick Arama Anti-ICE agitators have wreaked havoc for days at the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, New Jersey, attacking and threatening law enforcement.  Democrat leaders have been showing up at the ICE facility, as well, helping to whip up the situation. It got so bad that even the Democratic governor of New Jersey, Mikie Sherill, who had previously shown up, was deploying the New Jersey State Police, and Newark was putting on curfew to help stem the violence.  So what did the Democrats do, even as law enforcement was getting things under control, but try to whip things up a little more?  House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) showed up with a delegation of Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey over the weekend for an oversight visit. Just completed a congressional oversight visit with members of the New Jersey delegation. Delaney Hall should be shut down. This is not America. pic.twitter.c...
