Iran issues warning to US about possible attacks on 2 cargo ships suspected of spy activities
Iranian officials warned the U.S. on Sunday about possibly targeting two cargo ships in the Middle East that are suspected of being spy ships for the country.
The warning was issued after forces from the U.S. and U.K. launched an airstrike offensive against Houthi rebels located in Yemen.
The Associated Press reported that the statement from Iran referred to the Behshad and Saviz ships, which are both registered commercial cargo ships with a company based in Tehran, which the U.S. Treasury sanctioned as a front for the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines.
Houthi Rebels Fire Missiles At Two Ships As Red Sea Crisis Rages On
Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted two commercial ships sailing in the southern Red Sea following airstrikes by the United States and the United Kingdom on dozens of locations across Yemen, Iraq, and Syria over the weekend. This escalation around the maritime chokepoint has led to a blockade of ships, marking a new round of cost-push inflation due to snarled supply chains. Reuters quoted a Houthi spokesman who said anti-ship missiles were fired at the Morning Tide and Star Nasia, flying Barbados- and Marshall Islands flags, respectively, as British and American.
Iran could weaponize its uranium in one week, new report says
Moreover, using its remaining stock of enriched uranium, the country could have in total enough weapon-grade uranium for six weapons in one month.
A new report from the Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) is sounding the alarm on Iran’s closeness to going nuclear, upgrading its threat level to “Extreme Danger,” the highest of its six ratings, for the first time since the group began following the Iranian nuclear program in the 1990s. Since 2022, the report says, Iran’s ‘breakout’ time has been zero— that is to say, Iran “has more than enough… highly enriched uranium (HEU) to directly fashion a nuclear explosive.”
Major European Banks At Center Of Complex Iran Sanctions Evasion Scandal
Ever since Obama's very short-lived nuclear deal with Iran was scrapped by the subsequent Trump administration, Tehran has ramped up its efforts at sanctions evasion, which has especially relied on a fleet of 'ghost tankers' sailing primarily to China.
But the story of the secret cooperation of reputable European banks, and sophisticated efforts to hide large Iranian transactions has been a more interesting development, and this week Lloyds and Santander UK (based in Spain) have been in the spotlight, causing their shares to take significant hits on Monday

Insiders fear this will be the year that North Korea will fire nukes
In his most intensive drive for power over the Korean peninsula since his father’s death more than 12 years ago, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is mounting a blitzkrieg of weapons tests and rhetoric.

Buoyed by his relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kim is shipping artillery shells and missiles for Russian forces bogged down in Ukraine while spreading fears of a grand plan to take over South Korea.

Trump Tells Fox News ‘I Believe We’re Going to Have a Terrorist Attack 100%,’ Possibly Due to Chinese Immigrants | Video
Donald Trump spoke with Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News, covering his potential VP picks, Iran’s nuclear potential and Trump’s belief that “we’re going to have a terrorist attack 100%,” tying that believe to an increase in immigrants from China and the Biden administration lifting Trump’s travel bans. After Bartiromo said she’s “been told that Chinese are paying $35,000 a head, $50,000 a head” to enter the U.S. from the southern border with Mexico and that the number of “military-age men” from China is “up 1,100% year over year,” she asked, “Are they being directed by the Communist Party to come over here?”
DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Could Be Impeached on Tuesday
In the early morning hours of last Wednesday, after a markup that lasted 15 hours, the House Homeland Security Committee voted to advance articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The effort has been years in the making, with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) reminding Townhall last week that we are where we are today thanks to a resolution to impeach Mayorkas she put forth which was tabled last November.

With that update, it looks like we're keeping to the timetable offered by Greene and Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
12 Absolutely Insane Examples That Show Just How Far The U.S. Has Fallen
When I was young, I often wondered what it must have been like to live during the fall of the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, now I have a pretty good idea. Just like the Roman Empire, the United States is falling. Every day our decline gets even more pronounced, and you can see evidence of this all around us. Virtually all of our major institutions are crumbling, and virtually all of our most critical systems are failing. We tend to blame our problems on our politicians, but the truth is that the rot that is rapidly spreading throughout our society runs a lot deeper than that.
The treacherous U.S. federal government has entirely abandoned its duty to defend states against INVASION… is it time to form a NEW union?
The clash between the U.S. federal government and the state of Texas over the border has stirred up a national debate about state’s rights, with opinions generally divided along party lines. However, this is actually a very cut-and-dry case, and one only needs to actually read the supreme law of the land, the U.S. Constitution, to see that the federal government has rendered its supremacy null and void by abandoning its duty to defend states against the immigrant invasion.
In Tests, GPT-4 Strangely Itchy to Launch Nuclear War
A team of Stanford researchers tasked an unmodified version of OpenAI's latest large language model to make high-stakes, society-level decisions in a series of wargame simulations — and it didn't bat an eye before recommending the use of nuclear weapons. The optics are appalling. Remember the plot of "Terminator," where a military AI launches a nuclear war to destroy humankind? Well, now we've got an off-the-shelf version that anyone with a browser can fire up.

'Dead people should be able to change their gender', says Labour MP Charlotte Nichols as growth of gender ideology is slammed as 'patently absurd'
Labour MP Charlotte Nichols has suggested dead people should be able to change their gender - as the growth of gender ideology has been slammed as 'patently absurd'.

Replying to the MP's written question to Parliament last month, Equalities Minister Stuart Andrew said
2000 year old ancient Roman scrolls have been unlocked by Artificial intelligence
A few years ago, during one of California’s steadily worsening wildfire seasons, Nat Friedman’s family home burned down. A few months after that, Friedman was in Covid-19 lockdown in the Bay Area, both freaked out and bored. Like many a middle-aged dad, he turned for healing and guidance to ancient Rome. While some of us were watching Tiger King and playing with our kids’ Legos, he read books about the empire and helped his daughter make paper models of Roman villas.

This is the filth the left is pushing on America.
