IDF strikes Arak nuclear reactor, dozens of sites across Iran
Forty Israeli Air Force fighter jets overnight Wednesday struck dozens of nuclear and military targets in Tehran and other locations across Iran, including the reactor near Arak, according to the Israeli military.
The reactor strike specifically targeted the core seal structure—a key element in plutonium production, said the Israel Defense Forces.
Construction of the reactor began in 1997 but was halted due to international pressure. Originally designed to produce weapons-grade plutonium, Iran later agreed to convert it for the production of low-grade plutonium unsuitable for nuclear weapons.
However, the regime reportedly chose not to complete the conversion—retaining the reactor’s potential for weapons use as leverage against Western powers.
The IAF strike aimed to destroy components essential for plutonium production, thereby preventing the reactor’s use for nuclear weapons development, according to the military.
In a separate strike, the IAF targeted a nuclear weapons development site near Natanz. The facility housed specialized equipment and hosted projects intended to accelerate Iran’s nuclear program, the IDF said.
Israeli aircraft also neutralized air defense batteries, surface-to-surface missile storage facilities, radar detection systems, and other surveillance equipment operated by the Iranian regime.
Earlier on Wednesday, the IDF carried out a series of strikes in Tehran, targeting more than 20 sites, including facilities linked to Iran’s nuclear weapons development and missile production programs….
Iran fires 15 missiles at Israel in latest barrage
Some 15 ballistic missiles were launched at Israel’s north in Iran’s latest attack on Thursday afternoon, with no reports of direct hits or casualties.
Air-raid sirens sounded across Israel’s north, including in Haifa, sending the city’s almost 300,000 residents running for bomb shelters. The IDF Home Front Command gave the all-clear some 20 minutes after the military detected launches from Iran.
“At this stage, no calls have been received by the Magen David Adom 101 hotline regarding falls or injuries, with the exception of a woman who was injured on her way to the protected area,” the medical emergency response organization said in a statement.
Israel’s Channel 14 News reported that interception fragments sparked two fires in the north—one in an open area, and another in a building.
On Thursday morning, at least six people were seriously wounded by a missile barrage that hit Israel. Beersheva’s Soroka Medical Center took a direct hit, with additional impacts in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Holon.
Four serious injuries were caused by a hit on an apartment building in Holon, south of Tel Aviv, according to Wolfson Medical Center. Two people were seriously wounded in a direct hit in Ramat Gan.
The barrage, composed of some 30 ballistic missiles, was the heaviest launched by the Islamic Republic at the Jewish state in some 48 hours.
Since the start of the war on Friday, Iranian attacks on Israel’s civilian population centers have killed 24 people in the Jewish state. Three were killed on Friday, 13 overnight on Saturday, and eight early on Monday.
Did Planned Parenthood Commit Yet Another Felony?
The House DOGE Subcommittee announced last week it had launched an investigation into Planned Parenthood for a panoply of charges, including illegally promoting abortion and transgender injections to children and profiting from the harvest or transfer of aborted babies’ organs and tissue.
Yet a pro-life legal expert says it is possible even this robust list of lawbreaking may omit yet another abortion industry felony which is punishable by five years in prison.
Planned Parenthood stands accused of repeatedly misleading federal officials about its activities in oral testimony and written documents, a violation of a criminal statute banning anyone from making a “materially false” statement to the government.
Many of the contested statements stemmed from Planned Parenthood’s damage control operation after undercover videos showed abortion industry employees discussing, joking about, and even haggling over the “donation” of aborted babies’ organs and tissue for scientific experiments.
Investigative journalists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress exposed the practice a decade ago, posing as agents interested in purchasing harvested organs.
A federal statute (42 USC § 289g-2) makes it “unlawful for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or otherwise transfer any human fetal tissue for valuable consideration if the transfer affects interstate commerce.” But it states, “The term ‘valuable consideration’ does not include reasonable payments associated with the transportation, implantation, processing, preservation, quality control, or storage of human fetal tissue.”
The DOGE investigation will probe potential violations of this statute.
Pro-life legal scholars have acknowledged ambiguity about the legal definition of “reasonable.” But a legal scholar says, in Planned Parenthood’s rush to cover its tracks, it may have left itself vulnerable to prosecution on yet another statute…
Houston Doctors Perform First Fully Robotic Heart Transplant In The US
Surgeons at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center in Houston have made medical history by performing the first fully robotic heart transplant in the United States. The groundbreaking procedure, led by Dr. Kenneth Liao, marks a major leap forward in minimally invasive cardiac surgery—offering patients faster recovery times and fewer complications.
Unlike traditional heart transplants, which require surgeons to open the chest and split the breastbone, this robotic approach uses small incisions to remove the diseased heart and implant the donor heart. The surgical team controlled the robot’s precision instruments, avoiding the need for a large chest incision.
“Opening the chest can delay healing, especially for transplant patients on immunosuppressants,” Dr. Liao explained. “The robotic method preserves the chest wall, improving respiratory function and overall recovery.”…
The recipient, a 45-year-old man, had been hospitalized since November 2024 with advanced heart failure, relying on mechanical support devices. After the March 2025 transplant, he recovered without complications—a testament to the procedure’s potential…..
This milestone isn’t just about technology—it’s about better outcomes for patients. As robotic surgery evolves, it could make life-saving transplants safer, faster, and more accessible for thousands.
Interest costs on national debt rise significantly as the Treasury gets ready for large-scale refinancing
Daniel Newman, the CEO of Futurum Group, appeared on the Big Money Show panel to discuss potential changes that President Donald Trump might bring with his proposed significant legislation.
The government faces the task of refinancing almost a third of its debt, which totals over $36 trillion. This situation is set against Trump’s repeated requests for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.
A report from the Debt Management Bureau of the Treasury indicates that as of April 30, about 31.4% of government bonds are expected to be refinanced in the upcoming year.
This translates to roughly $11 trillion in federal debt securities that will need attention within the next 12 months.
Recently, the costs associated with maintaining this substantial debt have surged, propelled by rising interest rates aimed at tackling inflation— the highest the U.S. economy has seen in four decades.
Domestic debt service costs have jumped due to rising interest rates.
In 2024, the projected interest expenses from national debt servicing are expected to soar by 34%, reaching $949 billion. This figure exceeds both the discretionary budget for the Department of Defense and federal spending on Medicare.
Additionally, the increasing costs associated with social security and Medicare, driven by an aging population, are pivotal factors contributing to the expanding federal deficit, which is anticipated to hit around $1.9 trillion in fiscal year 2025.
Trump has consistently urged the Federal Reserve to lower its benchmark interest rates in hopes of stimulating economic growth and alleviating federal debt service costs….
The 16-billion-record data breach that no one’s ever heard of
Several collections of login credentials reveal one of the largest data breaches in history, totaling a humongous 16 billion exposed login credentials. The data most likely originates from various infostealers.
Unnecessarily compiling sensitive information can be as damaging as actively trying to steal it. For example, the Cybernews research team discovered a plethora of supermassive datasets, housing billions upon billions of login credentials.
From social media and corporate platforms to VPNs and developer portals, no stone was left unturned.
Our team has been closely monitoring the web since the beginning of the year. So far, they’ve discovered 30 exposed datasets containing from tens of millions to over 3.5 billion records each.
In total, the researchers uncovered an unimaginable 16 billion records.
None of the exposed datasets were reported previously, bar one: in late May, Wired magazine reported a security researcher discovering a “mysterious database” with 184 million records. It barely scratches the top 20 of what the team discovered.
Most worryingly, researchers claim new massive datasets emerge every few weeks, signaling how prevalent infostealer malware truly is.
“This is not just a leak – it’s a blueprint for mass exploitation. With over 16 billion login records exposed, cybercriminals now have unprecedented access to personal credentials that can be used for account takeover, identity theft, and highly targeted phishing. What’s especially concerning is the structure and recency of these datasets – these aren’t just old breaches being recycled. This is fresh, weaponizable intelligence at scale,” researchers said.
The only silver lining here is that all of the datasets were exposed only briefly: long enough for researchers to uncover them, but not long enough to find who was controlling vast amounts of data. Most of the datasets were temporarily accessible through unsecured Elasticsearch or object storage instances…
In December 2020 a Chinese Whistleblower Sent The Gateway Pundit Video, Photos of Alleged Chinese Counterfeit US Ballot Printing Operations – This Week the FBI Confirmed This Chinese Counterfeit Ballot Manufacturing Operation Was Real …Update: YouTube Took Down the Video But We Still Have Them Posted Below
Earlier this week FBI Director Kash Patel exposed a Chinese plot in 2020 to create THOUSANDS of fake mail-in ballots in the 2020 presidential election.
According to Kash, the communist Chinese were involved in a plot to create thousands of fake mail-in ballots in 2020 using fake voter registrations.
And, it should be clear that China was not creating fake ballots to assist Donald Trump. The Chi-Coms detested Trump and what he had done to their economy. Trump was the only US president in decades to take on the Chinese Communist Party.
The Gateway Pundit reported on this operation, or a very similar Chinese operation, back in early December 2020.
The Gateway Pundit even posted video evidence that was posted on YouTube. Google-YouTube took down the video evidence but we kept a copy and we have it posted below.
Here is what The Gateway Pundit reported back in December 2020 on the Chinese counterfeit ballot printing operation to swing the election to Joe Biden….
Social Security Now Headed For Insolvency Even Sooner Than Expected
Social Security will be unable to pay full retirement benefits by 2034, one year earlier than previously projected, according to a new report released Wednesday by the Social Security Board of Trustees.
The updated annual forecast cites multiple factors for the worsening outlook, including population trends and a recent expansion of benefits for certain public-sector retirees.
Without reform, beneficiaries could see a 19% cut in their payments within the next decade, the report found.
“Congress can’t keep dodging entitlement reform. Social Security’s $28 trillion in unfunded liabilities is about the same size as America’s entire GDP,” Ryan Young, senior economist at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The problem is structural, and will not improve on its own.”
Social Security spending is projected to reach 6% of the GDP by 2035, but the Trump administration and congressional GOP leadership have pledged not to touch benefits. Even broaching this topic may prove politically perilous as the 2026 midterm elections approach.
However, maintaining the long-term viability of the safety-net program will require substantial reform.
“Social Security’s current pay-as-you-go financing has built-in demographic problems that no amount of creative accounting can solve,” said Young. “Transitioning to a personal account system, such as about 30 countries around the world use, is not optional. It would also give retirees better returns while reducing current workers’ tax burdens, while giving people ownership over their retirement savings.”…
North Korea launches multiple rockets, Seoul says
North Korea fired around 10 rounds from multiple-launcher rocket systems, Seoul’s military said Thursday, one day after South Korea held joint air drills with the United States and Japan.
The rockets were launched around 10 a.m. from the Sunan area near Pyongyang, the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a text message sent to reporters.
“The detailed specifications are being closely analyzed by South Korean-U.S. intelligence authorities,” the JCS said. “In the current security situation, our military is closely monitoring various trends in North Korea under a strong South Korea-U.S. military posture.”..
North Korea has deployed troops, artillery and weapons to Russia to aid in Moscow’s war against Ukraine. Pyongyang is believed to be receiving much-needed financial support and advanced military technology for its own weapons programs in return.
On Tuesday, Moscow’s top security official said that North Korea would send 6,000 military workers and combat engineers to help rebuild Russia’s war-torn Kursk region.
Russia’s Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu made the announcement while meeting Kim in Pyongyang for the second time this month. His visit came ahead of the one-year anniversary of the signing of a comprehensive strategic partnership by Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The North’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper celebrated the June 19 anniversary in an article touting the “absolute solidity” of its alliance with Russia….
DOJ to seize $225.3 million for victims of crypto scammers
“Civil forfeiture complaint is the latest action taken by the Department to protect the American public from fraudsters specializing in cryptocurrency-based scams, and it will not be the last,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.
“These schemes harm American victims, costing them billions of dollars every year, and undermine faith in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Our investigators and prosecutors are relentlessly pursuing these scammers and their ill-gotten gains, and we will relentlessly pursue recovery of victim funds.”
Last week, the DOJ found five men guilty who laundered over $36 million from victims. They operated out of Cambodia and face maximum penalties of between five and 20 years in prison.
Assistant Director of the FBI Criminal Division Jose A. Perez, said his agency will not allow the criminals targeting unsuspecting victims who believe they are making legitimate investments to keep these scams going.
“This seizure of $225.3 million in funds linked to cryptocurrency investment scams marks the largest cryptocurrency seizure in U.S. Secret Service history, said Shawn Bradstreet, a special agent in that agency’s San Francisco field office.
In this investigation, more than 400 suspected victims say they lost money after believing that they were making investments, officials said.
According to the FBI internet Crime Complaint Center’s 2024 internet Crime Report, cryptocurrency investment fraud resulted in more than $5.8 billion lost in 2024. People over age 60 were impacted the most, losing an estimated $2.8 billion.
Pro-Hamas Group Invests $100K in Muslim Mayoral Candidate
Forget the Ground Zero mosque, New York City may end up with a ‘Ground Zero’ mayor, a Muslim socialist who hates America and Israel.
And you’ll never guess who’s backing him.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the anti-Israel group whose leader said he was “happy” about Oct. 7, is quietly funding socialist Zohran Mamdani’s bid for New York City mayor.
The Unity & Justice Fund, which CAIR formed last year to expand its political influence, has contributed $100,000 to New Yorkers for Lower Costs, the largest PAC supporting Mamdani, according to campaign records. The money was split between a $25,000 gift on May 30 and a $75,000 donation on June 16.
Unity and Justice, by the way, is a fairly typical Muslim Brotherhood name. The Egyptian Brotherhood Party was the Freedom and Justice Party. It’s the Justice and Development Party in Morocco and the Justice and Construction Party in Libya.
The common theme here is ‘Justice’ which within the Islamic framework means the supremacy of Islamic law.
And CAIR has Muslim Brotherhood roots.
The brand outside may be “lower costs” but the brand inside is ‘justice’ or Sharia law.
Muslim Rapist of 15-Year-Old Girl Blames “Cultural Differences”
Esmatullah Sharifi, an Afghan refugee, offered an Australian woman a ride home and then put his right hand around her neck and his left hand over her mouth and raped her. Sharifi’s lawyers claimed that due to cultural differences he was confused about the nature of consent.
This wasn’t Sharifi’s first misunderstanding of the difference between rape and sex. He had already been sentenced to 7 years in jail for raping an Australian teenager on Christmas Day in 2008.
Last year, an Egyptian Muslim cleric was arrested for groping women on a beach.
The spokesman for the Dee Why Mosque said that by groping a grandmother pushing a stroller and an underage girl, Ahmed Alkahly had been “showing love and compassion but had misunderstood the cultural differences between Australia and Egypt.”
Almahde Ahmad Atagore made his own effort at showing love and compassion by sexually assaulting seven women and girls. The youngest of his victims was only 13 years old. Afterward he laughed.
Atagore’s lawyers blamed cultural differences and Judge Margaret Rizkalla agreed, telling the Libyan Muslim rapist, “It seems you were very ill prepared to deal with cultural differences.”
In the Ashfield rapes, four Pakistani brothers raped eighteen women and girls. Their father urged that his sons be pardoned because they “did not know the culture of this culture.”…
Tennessee Funeral Directors Association Confirms White Fibrous Clots Are Real and Prevalent
Invited by TFDA President Taylor Moore, Haviland conducted an in-person survey with 28 embalmers and funeral directors during the convention in Franklin, TN:
- 64% reported seeing white fibrous clots in corpses during the first half of 2025
- The white clots appeared in an average of 17% of all corpses
- 70% reported signs of micro-clotting (“coffee grounds” or “dirty blood”)
- 39% of embalmers observed an increase in infant deaths, with an average 14% rise over pre-2020 levels
These results were not only documented on paper but confirmed on video, as multiple embalmers raised their hands during Haviland’s presentation to verify that they had personally observed the white fibrous clots.
Many stated they had never seen such clots before the COVID-19 era.
This public acknowledgment demands immediate investigation into the potential link between the COVID-19 mRNA injections, SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the formation of these anomalous clots. It’s time our public health agencies respond.
You can find all of Tom Haviland and Laura Kasner’s work from the past three years on their Substack: Clotastrophe
According to Dr. Kevin McCairn et al’s intensive biochemical and microscopic analysis, the white fibrous clots appear to be amyloidogenic fibrin aggregates—abnormal, protease-resistant protein structures likely formed through pathological remodeling of fibrin in the presence of spike protein.
The clots exhibit dense, rubbery morphology, strong autofluorescence, beta-sheet-rich domains confirmed by Thioflavin T staining, and ultrastructural features consistent with amyloid fibrils under electron microscopy.
Elemental analysis confirmed their organic, protein-based composition, and PCR detected human origin with preliminary markers suggestive of recombinant spike protein exposure.
The Weaponization of Gene-Edited Mosquitoes
There are several dimensions to the mosquito crisis. The release of gene-edited male mosquitoes, coupled with the development of a dengue and malaria vaccine
But that is but the tip of the iceberg.
According to F. William Engdahl in 2018, the weaponization of insects is on the drawing board of the Pentagon:
There is strong evidence that the Pentagon, through its research and development agency, DARPA, is developing genetically modified insects that would be capable of destroying agriculture crops of a potential enemy.
The claim has been denied by DARPA, but leading biologists have sounded the alarm on what is taking place using new “gene-editing” CRISPR technology to in effect weaponize insects.
It’s like a 21st Century update of the Biblical plague of locusts, only potentially far worse.
Under the DARPA project, Genetic Alteration Agents or viruses will be introduced into the insect population to directly influence the genetic makeup of crops.
DARPA plans to use leaf hoppers, white flies, and aphids to introduce select viruses into crops. Among other dubious claims they say it will help farmers combat ‘climate change’.
What no one can answer, especially as neither the Pentagon nor the US FDA are asking, is how will the genetically engineered viruses in the insects interact with other microorganisms in the environment?…
Violent crime reduction operation in Fort Worth: 76 arrests, 22 kilos of drugs seized
Federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies announced Wednesday the culmination of “Operation Showdown,” a two-month initiative that led to the arrest of 76 individuals on firearm and drug charges and the seizure of hundreds of weapons and kilograms of illicit drugs in the Fort Worth area.
U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson stated that the operation was “one of the largest and swiftest enforcement initiatives in our district’s recent history.” Working with the Fort Worth Police Department, ATF, and DEA, authorities focused on high-crime “hotspots” in the city with noticeable rates of violent crime linked to drug and firearm trafficking.
“Our intention is to reduce violent crime in Fort Worth, Texas, and we did it together,” Larson said.
Of the 76 individuals arrested, 56 have been charged with federal drug and gun crimes by the U.S. Attorney’s office, while 20 others face felony charges from the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office.
Many of those arrested are convicted violent felons, and some are in the country illegally with suspected ties to the Venezuelan transnational criminal organization Tren de Aragua (TDA)…
