CENTCOM: U.S. launches military strikes on Iran in response to downing of helicopter

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has announced that the U.S. military has launched “self-defense strikes against Iran” in retaliation for the downing of an American helicopter on the orders of President Donald Trump.

On Tuesday, CENTCOM released a statement on social medi confirming the strikes.

“This is a response to what they did…with our helicopter last night, and I believe the response should be very strong, very powerful, and that’s what this one is,” Trump told ABC News.

Both crew members of the downed helicopter were safely rescued hours after the crash, the president and CENTCOM confirmed.

House passes GOP’s $70B border security and immigration bill

The House of Representatives officially passed a roughly $70 billion budget reconciliation package on Tuesday, securing a major legislative victory that guarantees three years of dedicated funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Clearing the chamber in a razor-thin 214–212 party-line vote, the enforcement package bypassed traditional filibuster hurdles in the Senate through the reconciliation process, effectively cementing long-term fiscal resources for enhanced border operations, detention center expansions, and thousands of new field agents.

Having now successfully cleared both chambers of Congress following an intense final hour of floor debate, the spending bill officially heads to President Trump’s desk, where it is expected to be signed into law.

DISGUSTING VIDEO: Karmelo Anthony Supporter Declares ‘Both Brothers Should’ve Been Dead’ Outside Courthouse After Guilty Verdict, Black Panthers Push ‘Race War’

After a Collin County jury unanimously convicted 19-year-old Karmelo Anthony of murdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in a brutal stabbing at a Frisco high school track meet, supporters of the convicted killer erupted in fury outside the Texas courthouse.

Independent journalist Nick Sortor captured shocking footage of Anthony’s deranged supporters openly calling for the death of Metcalf’s twin brother Hunter, who witnessed the murder, and the crowd expressing their agreement.

In the video posted by Sortor on X Tuesday evening, a woman at the courthouse rants that “BOTH of the brothers should’ve been dead, if you ask me.”

The surrounding supporters of the murderer nod and voice agreement.

Sortor’s caption on the video read, “Karmelo Anthony supporter says Karmelo should’ve killed Austin’s twin brother HUNTER as well. And the Karmelo group AGREES with her. They’re OPENLY calling for MURDER. This was NEVER about self-defense. Some of them just want to see white people murdered in cold blood. They can’t be reasoned with.”

Anthony, a Black teen, stabbed white 17-year-old Austin Metcalf in the chest during an altercation at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco on April 2, 2025.

Austin Metcalf’s identical twin brother, Hunter Metcalf, was not only at the track meet but also witnessed the fatal stabbing.

Born just four minutes after Austin, Hunter told Karmelo Anthony to leave the Memorial High School team tent during the rain delay.

Austin then stepped in to confront Anthony.

Hunter was right there when Anthony pulled the knife and stabbed his brother in the chest.

According to police reports and witness accounts, Hunter immediately rushed to Austin’s side, tried desperately to stop the bleeding, and held his twin in his arms as Austin took his last breath and died despite lifesaving efforts by first responders.

The brothers were inseparable. They played football together as standout athletes, worked the same part-time job at a local pizzeria, attended church youth group, cleaned the house, did yard work, and did nearly everything together.

Their bond was described by the family as unbreakable until that moment.

Hunter later accepted Austin’s posthumous diploma at their high school graduation in an emotional ceremony that drew a standing ovation.

Prosecutors never called Hunter to testify during the trial. He was kept out of the courtroom as a potential witness, but his presence and raw grief were described as those in the courtroom as being evident in bodycam footage played for the jury, showing him sobbing and screaming as he tried to save his brother.

Anthony claimed self-defense, but eyewitnesses, video evidence, and testimony presented over eight days of trial proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the claim was false.

The jury deliberated for less than three hours before returning a guilty verdict on murder charges on Tuesday.

The same jury will now decide sentencing.

This wasn’t the only racial bloodlust on display outside the courthouse, as Black Panthers and supporters declared “THIS IS A WAR” and told the crowd, “We got to tell our kids the truth that this is a RACIST-ASS COUNTRY… Don’t NOBODY want to hear about what we do to each other. We talking about what they doing to US!”

Amsterdam Bans Meat Ads as the War on Food Expands

Amsterdam’s decision to ban meat advertising should be viewed as part of a much broader trend that has been unfolding for years. Politicians insist this is about climate change. Every new restriction is presented as a noble sacrifice for to save the environment. Yet the target is almost always the same: farmers, ranchers, livestock producers, and regular people who are forced to sacrifice their health and livelihood for the globalist agenda.

The Netherlands has already spent years battling its own farming community through nitrogen regulations, forced buyouts, and restrictions that have pushed many family farms to the brink. Massive farmer protests erupted because people recognized that this was never merely about emissions. Agriculture was being redesigned from the top down. Now the campaign has moved beyond production and into culture itself. If citizens cannot be persuaded to abandon meat voluntarily, then governments will gradually make meat less visible, less available, more expensive, and increasingly stigmatized.

Many people dismissed concerns years ago when international organizations began discussing alternatives to traditional meat consumption. The World Economic Forum published articles exploring insects as a future protein source and repeatedly promoted dietary shifts away from actual meat. The argument was always framed around sustainability, carbon reduction, and environmental goals. They attempted to normalize chewing on bugs as an alternative to a steak. They claim it is our duty as global citizens to sacrifice essential nutrition to save the planet, despite knowing well that these measures would not make a meaningful dent in anything.

Mystery Car Bombing Near Moscow May Have Taken Out A Top General

In what appears the latest targeted killing in a string of high profile assassinations of top Russian military brass since the Ukraine war began, an unidentified man – possibly a high-ranking military officer, was reportedly blown up Tuesday morning after a bomb detonated in his car.

The incident happened very early in the morning Tuesday in a suburb called Balashikha, just outside the Russian capital. While Russian authorities have yet to release the identity of the deceased man, it happened very near an area known to host residences of military and government officials.

“The location of Tuesday’s explosion is not far from where Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik — the deputy head of the General Staff’s main operational directorate — was killed in a car bombing last year,” the Amsterdam-based Moscow Times writes.

Investigators said an “explosive device was detonated while a BMW X3 car was driving near a residential apartment building.”  

In this newest case, the speculation on Telegram is that the fatality was a 62-year-old lieutenant general. A formal investigation is underway:

Security camera footage circulated by pro-Kremlin media showed the vehicle bursting into flames from the trunk and back seats before rolling into a parked vehicle. According to the Telegram channel Mash, bystanders rushed to pull the driver out of the burning wreckage, but he died shortly after.

Russia’s internal security service, the FSB, previously said it is making great efforts to tighten around high-ranking military officers of late.

This possibly adds, pending the details, to a growing list of high profile assassinations related to the Ukraine war. To review:

—Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in 2022 which was likely meant for her father, prominent political thinker and often dubbed “Putin ally” Aleksandr Dugin.

—Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 outside of his residence when a bomb planted in a nearby scooter detonated.

—Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, who served as deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car bomb attack last April. A “homemade” explosive device detonated under his Volkswagen Golf in a residential neighborhood.

Throughout the course of the war there’s been a string of these high profile assassinations on Russian soil involving car and even cafe bombs.

4 California School Districts Under DoJ Review Over Gender Ideology, Sex Ed Policies

Four California public school districts face federal inquiries into whether their policies and practices regarding instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology violate students’ civil rights.

The districts under Justice Department review are all in Northern California, with three in Monterey County—Graves Elementary School District, Santa Rita Union School District, and Soledad Unified School District—as well as San Francisco Unified School District. Their students range from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

The reviews will determine whether the districts notify parents of their right to opt their children out of instruction on sexual orientation and gender ideology, also known as SOGI, and whether district practices align with federal protections against sex discrimination.

“This Department of Justice will not tolerate local school authorities trampling on the rights of parents concerning the education of their children,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the department’s Civil Rights Division said in a June 8 statement.

“The Supreme Court’s recent decisions in ‘Mahmoud’ and ‘Mirabelli’ have put all school districts on notice: policies that keep parents in the dark about sexuality and gender ideology in the classroom must end now.”

California law mandates sex education to encompass these topics, and state provisions give parents the right to opt their children out of the instruction on these subjects, either entirely or in part.

The San Francisco Unified School District has previously told its teachers that neither parental permission nor notification is needed to teach or discuss SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) topics in the classroom.

In addition, SOGI topics “appear to be embedded in California’s social studies and history classes,” according to the DOJ statement.

The reviews will also cover policies permitting access to single-sex intimate spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms, in addition to girls’ sports teams, based on a student’s perceived gender identity rather than sex. The Justice Department will decide whether these policies are in compliance with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The four districts all receive federal taxpayer funding, subjecting them to Title IX’s prohibitions on sex discrimination in education programs and activities.

The department will evaluate whether the districts have enacted changes in response to the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decisions in Mirabelli v. Bonta.

“Plaintiffs alleged that California’s policies permitted disclosure of a student’s gender transitioning at school only if the student consented,” the ruling states.

“Plaintiffs claimed that these policies violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

“We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim.”

Kuwait Turns To Anduril For $2 Billion Counter-Drone Shield After Horrifying Airport Attack

The moment an Iranian Shahed-136 drone struck Kuwait International Airport last week appears to have been a major wake-up call for Kuwaiti officials. The incident likely crystallized a troubling reality: legacy air-defense systems are not enough to counter the Shahed drone threat spreading across the Gulf, and Kuwait needs to supercharge the deployment of layered counter-UAS systems with both electronic and kinetic defeat capabilities.

The State Department revealed shortly after the airport attack last week that it approved a potential $1.98 billion foreign military sale to Kuwait for Anduril-made counter-drone systems.

“The Government of Kuwait has requested to buy counter-unmanned aerial systems platforms,” the State Department wrote in a press release.

SNAP Benefits Go To 186,000 Dead People… And Stopping Them Might Be Difficult

President Donald Trump’s anti-fraud efforts have brought renewed focus on issues plaguing the welfare system, including the millions of dollars in food stamps that are being sent to dead recipients.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released a report last month stating that 185,986 deceased people in 29 states were receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as of July 1, 2025, at an annual cost of $419.6 million. It also reported an additional $3 billion in potential fraud, waste, and abuse.

On May 21, a federal jury convicted a man who stole the identity of Carlos Ramon Obregon, who was killed in a 1977 Los Angeles drive-by shooting. Decades after the 14-year-old’s death, the defendant used the dead teen’s identity to collect about $283,000 in government benefits, including SNAP benefits, Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, and COVID-19 payments.

That’s just one example that the administration has outlined to highlight the issue. Here’s what to know about the problem of dead recipients, which has been lingering for decades.

Renewed Focus by Trump Admin

Trump directed federal agencies via executive order in March 2025 to ensure “unfettered access” to data from federally funded state programs such as SNAP, also known as food stamps.

In response, the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service told state agencies on May 6, 2025, that all records associated with SNAP must be made available to the federal government.

“For years, this program has been on autopilot, with no USDA insight into real-time data,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins wrote in a letter to states.

Following the USDA’s demand for detailed information on food stamp recipients to review for fraud, a coalition of 21 states and the District of Columbia filed a federal lawsuit against the USDA, accusing the agency of unlawfully demanding massive amounts of sensitive SNAP recipient data.

Voter Fraud: Los Angeles County Woman Pleads Guilty To Paying People In Skid Row To Vote

A woman who worked as a longtime signature collector for ballot initiatives pleaded guilty on June 8 to paying homeless people in Los Angeles’ Skid Row and elsewhere $2 or $3 to register to vote.

Brenda Lee Brown Armstrong, 64, of Marina del Rey, also known as “Anika,” entered a plea to one count of paying another person to register to vote, a federal charge that carries a penalty of up to five years behind bars.

Sentencing was scheduled for Aug. 31.

According to her plea agreement, for nearly 20 years, Armstrong periodically worked as a “petition circulator.” In that role, she was paid by coordinators to collect voter signatures on official petitions that qualify initiatives, referendums and recalls for California state ballots. Prosecutors said Armstrong drove around the Los Angeles area to find registered voters to sign the petitions.

After gathering enough signatures, Armstrong returned the petitions to her coordinators, who then paid her a set amount for each registered voter’s signature. The amount she was paid varied depending on the specific ballot initiative. Because her coordinators only paid for signatures attributable to registered voters, Armstrong endeavored to ensure the people who signed her petitions were registered voters, court papers show.

Armstrong admitted soliciting signatures in Skid Row, a convenient place for the defendant to collect signatures because of its high concentration of people in a relatively small area who were willing to sign petitions in exchange for cash.

Armstrong regularly paid amounts between $2 and $3 to induce people to sign her petitions, officials said.

Prosecutors said some homeless people did not have an address to put on the forms, so on occasion, Armstrong provided her own former address in Los Angeles to write on the registration form. Such registration forms simultaneously registered an individual to vote in California elections and in federal elections.

“This is not an allegation, this is not a theory, this is an example of admitted voter fraud,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said when Armstrong was charged. “We’re going to aggressively prosecute voter fraud.”

A video shot by conservative media figure James O’Keefe and reposted by an account called “Real America’s Voice” showed a woman handing cash to a homeless person. In a post on social media, O’Keefe said his video led to Armstrong being charged.

Essayli said on June 5 that his office has “multiple” probes underway into alleged voting fraud. While declining to provide any specifics, he pointed to the Armstrong case as an example of the sort of thing he is investigating.

“Yes, there is evidence of election fraud in California,” he said.

The comments came one day after President Donald Trump publicly accused Democrats of engaging in election fraud in California, pointing to the legally established mail-in voting process.

Essayli also said his office is working with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon in an effort to audit the state’s voter rolls.

Essayli said previously that Armstrong’s arrest coincided with arguments in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) appeal of the dismissal of a lawsuit over voter registration records.

The DOJ sued California Secretary of State Shirley Weber last year, demanding the state hand over the unredacted voter file, which includes registered voters’ full names, residential addresses, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers.

The DOJ claimed it had the right to access the data under powers granted by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, the Help America Vote Act, and the National Voter Registration Act.

In January, a Santa Ana federal judge dismissed the case after finding that the DOJ’s request for the information violates federal privacy laws. The defense also argued that the Trump administration wants to use the data to help enforce its immigration policy.

WHO Doubles Down On Global Vaccine Agenda 2030: More Shots, More “Misinformation” Crackdowns, And Zero Accountability For Harms

In a message released this week, Dr. Kate O’Brien, Director of the World Health Organization’s Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals, delivered a clear warning to the world: the globalist vaccine agenda is not slowing down — it’s accelerating.

Marking the halfway point of the Immunization Agenda 2030 (IA2030) at the 79th World Health Assembly, O’Brien and global health partners recommitted to “reaching everyone, everywhere with life-saving vaccines.” They called immunization the “most powerful, cost-effective and equitable health intervention” and positioned strong vaccine programs as the cornerstone of “global health security” and emergency preparedness.

O’Brien openly admits routine immunization coverage is slipping in many countries, outbreaks of “vaccine-preventable diseases” are spreading, and inequities are worsening. But instead of pausing to examine why public trust has collapsed, the WHO’s solution is to blame “misinformation,” push harder for catch-up campaigns like “The Big Catch-Up,” and prepare for the next round of rapid vaccine deployment during inevitable (or planned?) “future shocks.”

She explicitly calls for efforts to “debunk misinformation,” “build up trust,” and integrate surveillance, immunization, and emergency response systems. In plain English that means more censorship, more behavioral nudges, and tighter coordination between governments, Big Pharma, and international bodies to ensure compliance.

This comes after the highly controversial COVID-19 vaccine rollout — the most heavily promoted, mandated, and profitable pharmaceutical campaign in history — which left millions reporting injuries, excess deaths in highly vaccinated populations, and risks for myocarditis, neurological issues and fertility impacts that were dismissed or downplayed for years despite being legitimate concerns.
