Another US plane hit by Iran after jet shot down & two Black Hawks also damaged as race to find missing pilot continues

Another US plane hit by Iran after jet shot down & two Black Hawks also damaged as race to find missing pilot continues

TWO Black Hawk helicopters involved in rescuing one of the two F-15 pilots were pounded by small arms fire as they transported the stricken serviceman.

It comes as the frantic race to find the second missing crew member continues after the US fighter jet was struck down over Iran.

A second American aircraft was also shot down during combat operations around the same time near the Strait of Hormuz, the Washington Post reported.

The lone pilot of the A-10 attack plane, known as Warthog, navigated it to Kuwaiti airspace before ejecting and was subsequently rescued, three US officials said.

Meanwhile, Iranian state TV claimed that “an American A-10 aircraft was shot by the defence systems of the Army Air Defence Force and crashed in the Persian Gulf in southern Iran.”

It is unclear if this is the same Warthog, or another targeted during the rescue mission for the stranded pilots.

Eric Swalwell Threatens FBI Agents Amid Fang Fang Drama After Bondi’s Firing

Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell on Friday threatened FBI agents during an appearance on CNN on Friday.

Swalwell ran to CNN to discuss Trump’s decision to fire Pam Bondi as Attorney General.

The Democrat lawmaker who is currently running for governor of California claimed FBI agents are being asked to break the law every single day.

“To the FBI agents who are being asked to break the law every single day. What we want to make clear, and I know this comes from Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia, who will have the subpoena power next Congress,” Swalwell said without offering any proof whatsoever.

He continued, “You will be protected if you come forward right now.”

“If you do not come forward right now and you enable more corruption on Epstein or the weaponization, you will be before Congress, and it will all come out,” Swalwell said.

Even CNN was skeptical.

Trump White House plagiarized Iran war manifesto from Israel-aligned think tank

The Trump White House plagiarized its justification for attacking Iran from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, the main DC outfit promoting war with Tehran. The think tank was originally founded to “enhance Israel’s image,” and partners closely with the Israeli government.

The Trump Administration appeared to plagiarize its official justification for its war on Iran, copying almost word-for-word a document originally produced by the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), a pro-war think tank with close ties to Israeli intelligence which was originally founded to “enhance Israel’s image.”

The FDD document was authored by Tzvi Kahn, the former assistant director for policy and government affairs at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

A March 2, 2026 statement issued by the White House accusing Tehran of 44 instances of terrorism against American citizens is “virtually identical” to the list published by FDD in June 2025, analyst Stephen McIntyre noted Thursday.

While the White House did make superficial alterations to the text, they largely consisted of appending the label “Iran-backed” to every mention of groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. In the few instances where Trump administration officials bothered to make significant changes to the original FDD list, the edits were almost always made in service of “ratcheting up the underlying allegation,” McIntyre concluded.

Among the most egregious examples was a 1996 attack on the Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, which FDD originally said merely that Hezbollah al-Hejaz was “deemed responsible” for. In the White House version, however, the group’s responsibility was “asserted as factual,” explained McIntyre, noting that serious questions about the incident remain unanswered to this day. “Clinton’s Defense Secretary William Perry subsequently wondered (along with many others) whether Khobar Towers should have been attributed to Al Qaeda,” he wrote.

A 2009 investigation by journalist Gareth Porter based on interviews with over a dozen former CIA, FBI and Clinton administration officials demonstrated that the FBI’s inquiry into the Khobar Towers attack was precooked to blame Iran, when Al Qaeda was most likely the culprit. Porter found that Shia citizens of Saudi Arabia had been tortured into confessing to the crime by Saudi secret police.

While the White House declined to join FDD in blaming Iran for the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, it echoed the Israel-oriented organization in blaming Tehran for 603 military deaths in Iraq, which both documents attributed to “Iran-backed militias.” But there are major discrepancies with the figure, which amounts to 60% of the total US combatant deaths attributed to Iran. As McIntyre noted, such a claim is “not made in the State Department annual reports on Global Terrorism.”

At least four of the Americans the Trump administration claims were killed by Iran had served in Israel’s military. These included a US citizen who died while invading Lebanon in 2006 and two Americans in the IDF’s Golani brigade who were killed while invading Gaza in 2014. The fourth American, who was born in Israel and had also served in the Golani brigade, was killed amid violent reprisals against settlers in the West Bank in 2015.

Belarus Bans Promotion of LGBT Ideology, Pedophilia, and Childlessness

The Belarus parliament has passed a bill to criminalize the promotion of gender ideology, pedophilia, homosexuality, and deliberate childlessness, mirroring the laws of its neighboring ally, Russia.

The upper house gave the legislation the seal of approval on April 2, following its passage last month by the lower house, with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko expected to sign it into law.

The bill makes the “propaganda of homosexual relations, gender charge, refusal to have children, and pedophilia” punishable by fines and community labor.

Homosexuality was decriminalized in Belarus in 1994, following the collapse of the Soviet Union. Same-sex marriage is unlawful in Belarus and in many European nations, including Italy, Cyprus, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and Croatia.

Lukashenko, who has ruled the nation of 9.5 million for more than three decades, is known for his socially conservative views on marriage and the family.

‘The Classic Family’

Russian state media reported him as saying in March 2023 that although he thinks gay men may be “golden people,” he does not believe in the promotion of homosexual relationships because “we need people. Babies. Men don’t give birth. So let’s stick with the classic family.”

Some transgender activists have said that the country’s top security agency, which still bears its Soviet-era name, the KGB, has blackmailed individuals to force them to cooperate.

US federal judges increasingly turn to AI – study

Over half of US federal judges (60%) are using at least one AI tool in their judicial work, a recent Northwestern University study suggests. The research is based on responses from 112 federal judges, drawn from a random sample of 502 federal bankruptcy, magistrate, district court, and appellate court officials.

The use of AI in courtrooms has recently drawn attention for fabricated citations and other errors that have undermined confidence in some filings. The survey published earlier this week shows that these tools are now being adopted not just by lawyers, but also by federal judges.

The survey found that 60% of judges use AI at least occasionally for tasks such as reviewing documents, conducting legal research, and drafting or editing documents. Around 22% use it daily or weekly. Legal research was the most common (30%), followed by reviewing documents (16%).

Around one in three judges said they permit or encourage AI in their chambers, while 20% formally prohibit it. More than 45% reported that they have not received AI training from the court administration.

While judges acknowledge the risks of AI, experts warn that its unreliability could undermine judicial authority.

Why Are All These Scientists And Military Officials Missing/Dead?

A disturbing number of scientists and military officials connected to America’s most sensitive aerospace, nuclear, and space programs have gone missing or turned up dead recently.

The timing is prompting serious questions as to whether it is connected to President Trump ordering the full release of UFO and UAP files.

Fox News host Will Cain highlighted several of the cases:

“Carl Grillmair: Astrophysicist at Caltech. He worked on a NASA-supported space telescope project and infrared systems. Now, he was shot and killed at his home just two months ago.”

“Frank Maiwald: Senior Scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab. He died nearly two years ago but his cause of death has never been made public.”

“Monica Reza: Connected to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab Project. She went missing last summer while hiking in California.”

“William Neil McCasland: Retired Air Force General that oversaw advanced space and surveillance programs. He’s been missing since February. (Connected to Monica Reza)”

IDF threatens ‘elimination’ for Russian leaders who ‘wish Israel ill’

Israel’s veiled threat to Moscow came just after Russian media warned traffic cameras in Moscow were vulnerable to the same exploits that Israel reportedly used to monitor Ayatollah Khamenei’s residence before assassinating him.

Israeli military spokeswoman Anna Ukolova has drawn outrage in Moscow after threatening that Russian authorities who “wish Israel ill” could be subject to “elimination,” while suggesting Israel could hack into Russian closed-circuit television cameras to identify and track targets.

Asked by a journalist with Russian radio broadcaster RBC whether Israel had access to Russian traffic cameras, Ukolova declined to answer directly but warned that “Khamenei’s elimination shows our capabilities are serious” and that “no one who wishes us harm will be left aside.”

She added, ominously, “I hope Moscow does not wish Israel ill right now – I’d like to believe that.”

In response to a post by Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, who wrote that the IDF spokeswoman threatened that “Russian authorities [will] be killed if they take [an] anti-Israel position,” Ukolova claimed Dugin was spreading “fake news.” But she declined to clarify how her remarks had been incorrectly interpreted.

Ukolova’s statements came just days after it was revealed that a large number of Russian CCTVs were potentially using BriefCam – an Israeli video analysis software that closely matches the description of a program the Netanyahu regime reportedly deployed to track Iranian movements outside the home of Iran’s Supreme Leader before they assassinated him during their February 28 sneak attack.

On March 12, Russian outlet Mash revealed that the Israeli software BriefCam “has been used in Russia by private providers since the 2010s.” Founded at Israel’s Hebrew University in 2007, BriefCam uses AI to let users “review hours of video in minutes” and “make [their] video searchable, actionable and quantifiable.” In 2024, BriefCam was absorbed by a Dutch subsidiary of the Canon Group named Milestone Systems, which publicly pledges to “amplify what organizations of any size can see, do and achieve with video.”

“Our patented VIDEO SYNOPSIS® technology condenses hours of surveillance into a short summary by overlaying multiple events—each tagged with its original timestamp—onto a single frame, letting you filter them by object type and attributes,” the company’s BriefCam page crows. An analysis by Al Jazeera revealed those attributes include “gender, age group, clothing, movement patterns and time spent in a given location.”

Left Wing Group ‘Demand Justice’ Panicked Over Possibility That Trump Will Get to Pick Two More Supreme Court Justices

The progressive activist group ‘Demand Justice’ is already warning their fellow travelers on the left that President Trump may be able to pick two more new justices for the U.S. Supreme Court before leaving office.

If you remember the ordeal that the left put the country through when Justice Kavanaugh was being confirmed, you have an idea of what the left would do if Trump got to pick not one, but two more judges for the court. The term ‘meltdown’ doesn’t even begin to cover it.

It would be funny though, especially after all of the left’s talk about packing the court.

This is from the New York Times:

Liberal Group Warns That Trump Could Have Two More Supreme Court Picks

For now, none of the nine Supreme Court justices have announced plans to retire, and Mr. Trump has no looming opportunity to keep stocking the court with younger conservative justices.

That isn’t stopping Demand Justice from preparing a multimillion-dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen — with a warning that Mr. Trump could be replacing two justices this year…

Josh Orton, the president of Demand Justice, said the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred and Mr. Trump nominated a successor to the court — most likely for Clarence Thomas or Samuel A. Alito Jr., the two oldest justices. Justice Thomas is 77 years old, and Justice Alito is 76…

“If you think that Trump is willing to leave two of the three justices he thinks are most loyal on the court in their 80s past when he leaves office, you are not paying attention,” Mr. Orton said in an interview Thursday. “There is no way that Donald Trump and Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito would ever commit the fundamental miscalculation about power that we saw from Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Barack Obama and we as a movement.”

Now that it has been revealed that Justice Alito had a recent health scare, people on the left are probably even more nervous.

Watch Gavin Newsom’s Wife Brag About Filling Her Children’s Heads With Gender Nonsense

A shocking video is making the rounds on social media right now which shows Gavin Newsom’s wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom speaking at an event and bragging about the gender nonsense that she is using to fill up the minds of her children.

It’s not exactly clear when the video is from but it appears recent and she is clearly proud of what she is talking about.

It is now widely known that one of Trump’s most effective 2024 ads was the one where he reminded voters that Kamala Harris supports all of this craziness. Now Gavin Newsom’s wife is reminding people that she and her husband support all of this, too.

FOX News has details:

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is drawing attention online for resurfaced remarks about giving her boys dolls to play with and even changing male characters in books to females.

“I’ve given our boys dolls, even if they tear the head off,” Newsom said in an undated interview that resurfaced on X. “I’ve given them dolls to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that’s reserved for women, but that it’s also an activity that is a responsibility of men.”

She also said she changes male characters to female when reading books to her sons.

“What I have done with both my daughters and my sons is if I’m reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the he to a she,” Newsom said. “And it just normalizes for my sons, in particular, it’s not even … I don’t even just do it for my girls. I do it for my sons because I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting.” …

“At the end of the day, we’re all kind of like in this place in history maybe where we’re recognizing what it is to ultimately deconstruct all these gender roles and ultimately be human, and that’s exciting to me,” Newsom said.
