Israel launched waves of overnight airstrikes on Hezbollah targets after the Iranian-backed terrorist group fired hundreds of drones and rockets at towns and cities in northern Israel, declaring war on the “enemies of Islam.”

On Wednesday evening, the Lebanon-based Shia-jihadist group announced the launch of Operation “Eaten Straw,” invoking Quranic verses referring to the supposed destruction of a Christian-Ethiopian army at the hands of Arabs in the sixth century.

John Fetterman Says He Will Never Vote For Current Version Of Election Integrity Law– dailycaller.com

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman said on Wednesday that he will never vote for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in its current form.

Fetterman said on “The Takeout with Major Garrett” that he is against restrictions on mail-in voting, arguing that it is safe and has even been supported by Republicans. The SAVE Act would require all Americans to show proof of citizenship with documentation in person before voting, which would largely impact mail-based and online voter registration.

“I don’t support [it] in its current state to vote Save America. And the president is constantly critical on mail-in voting, and that’s ridiculous,” Fetterman said. “It’s safe. Some of the best examples in the country are from red states like Ohio and Florida, of course. And now I have a unique perspective on that too, as in 2019, as I was lieutenant governor, the Republicans in Pennsylvania pushed for mail-in voting.”

Suicide pods now have a “double dutch” option, where couples can die together in Switzerland. These 3D-printed death pods are designed for two people to climb inside, press a single button at the same time, and pass away within minutes.

Suicide pods were created by Philip Nitschke, often nicknamed “Dr. Death,” and were first introduced in 2024 for single-person use. The individual must meet with a psychiatrist for a mental capacity assessment to determine whether he or she is considered “fit” to proceed.

With the push of a button, the chamber fills with nitrogen, causing the person to lose consciousness within seconds, followed shortly by death. What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber. Now that same concept has been redesigned to end not one life, but two at once.

Islam in general and Ramadan in particular hold the key for society to prosper if it embraces a “noble vision of hope and peace” that Muslims hold dear, U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres tells the world in a newly released video message.

The exhortation to heed the example of Ramadan comes as the veteran Portuguese Socialist arrives in Turkey to fast with Muslims and show his support for their religion, as Breitbart News reported.

The Turkey visit comes just days after Guterres used the U.N.’s own International Day to Combat Islamophobia to plead, “The world’s two billion Muslims hail from all corners of the globe, reflecting the vast diversity of humanity itself.”

He said “Islamophobia” is real and growing and the time has come for the world to heed his call, “Let’s eradicate the scourge of Islamophobia from every country and community.”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., says putting the SAVE America Act on the Senate floor for a “one-and-done” vote, as seemingly suggested by Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., would be a “disastrous” failure.

“We ignore our base at our own peril, and we don’t want to dispirit our base,” Johnson said. “And right now, that’s kind of the path we’re going on.”

After an enormous amount of pressure from the Republican base and the White House, Thune announced this week that he plans to bring the SAVE America Act up for a floor vote. The legislation would require voter ID and proof of American citizenship to register to vote.

Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has almost completely stopped in the days since the United States and Israel launched strikes against Iran.

Iran sits above this strategic waterway, which is a vital route for exports of oil, gas and other commodities from the Persian Gulf, and has targeted tankers in the area.

Its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned ships not to sail through the passageway, saying that vessels “could be at risk from missiles or rogue drones”, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency.

For almost two weeks now, the US and Israel have been waging war on Iran. What Washington initially presented as a military campaign that would swiftly alter the strategic balance and put Tehran in a vulnerable position has proven to be far more complex. Over the past months, the White House has maintained that Iran could be on the brink of total defeat by the end of the first, or at most, the second day of a conflict. Apparently, the American side expected a rapid dismantling of Iran’s capabilities and a serious destabilization of its government. However, recent developments tell a different story.

US and Israel Strike Basij Checkpoints in Iran; Hitting ‘the regime’s protest-crushing machine’

The Basij are the paramilitary forces (often voluntary) that serve to enforce Sharia law and civil compliance on the streets. They are a key impediment to protestors coming outside and taking their country back. Iranian activist Nariman Gharib: The IDF and US forces delivered precision strikes, surgically dismantling Basij checkpoints in the heart of Tehran’s streets, the very thugs who beat, arrest, and shoot protesters every single night. No civilian casualties. Just clean, targeted operations. And the people? They’re not hiding. They’re back on the rooftops, voices shaking the city: “Marg bar Basij!” (Death to Basij!) “Marg bar dictator!” (Death to the dictator!) The regime’s own enforcers are being eliminated while the people cheer from the rooftops. The fear is gone. (Gharib).

Similar reports coming out of the west, in the province of Ilam: The IDF says it destroyed major bases of Iran’s internal security forces and the Basij militia in Ilam Province. These are the same forces used by the regime to crush protests and brutalize Iranian civilians. In simple terms: Israel hit the regime’s protest-crushing machine (Mossad).

Oil prices rose back above $100 and stocks sank Thursday as Iran’s attempts to hit supplies in the Middle East and bring down the global economy overshadowed a record release of strategic crude reserves by the International Energy Agency.

Stock markets in Asia closed down Thursday and European markets opened with losses as investors saw few signs the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran would end soon, despite President Trump’s repeated assurances that it would.

U.S. Energy Secretary Christopher Wright announced on Wednesday that the U.S. would release 172 million barrels of oil from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve, while the International Energy Agency — which has 32 member nations, including the U.S. — announced it would release 400 million barrels from its own reserves.

China passed a law on a “shared” national identity among the country’s 55 ethnic ‌minority groups on Thursday, a move critics say will further erode the identity of people who are not majority Han Chinese and risk making anyone challenging that “unity” a separatist punishable by law.
Called “Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress”, the ethnic minority law aims to forge national unity and advance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the ​Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at its core, a draft copy of the law showed.
