President Trump on Tuesday sat for an interview with Fox News, where he suggested that a ground invasion may be imminent in Iran and that the US may take over Iran’s critical oil export hub of Kharg Island. 

The President declined to say whether he would rule out a ground campaign, suggesting it might be necessary if he “thought it was appropriate.”

“Sometimes you need a ground campaign, but we have other people that will do the ground campaign for us,” Trump added.

Trump also said the ongoing air campaign against Iran, which resumed last week, will “continue until I say it’s enough.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, US forces carried out attacks on Iran for approximately seven hours last night, hitting “dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas,” US Central Command said, releasing video of strikes.  

WATCH:

This comes after a five-hour-long mission on Monday, where US forces hit targets across Iran, including Bushehr, Chah Bahar, Jask, Konarak, Abu Musa, and Bandar Abbas.

It seems that the US is working to degrade Iran’s drone and missile capabilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz in preparation for an invasion of Kharg Island in the Northern Persian Gulf.

“If we degrade them far enough and deep enough back, I would do that,” Trump told Fox News with regard to an invasion of Kharg Island.

“We already hit Kharg Island, as you know, twice, even three times. I said, hit everything but the oil. Just leave that little area from 25 yards out. Leave that little area. Don’t touch the oil, because I don’t want that in terms of the world economy,” Trump said.

“You know, it’s a chunk of the world economy, so we haven’t hit that. At some point, we could, but I think it’s unlikely.”

WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump also threatened during the interview to begin hitting Iran’s energy, oil, and transportation infrastructure next week.

“I’ll save the energy targets for last, but ultimately we’ll hit energy targets,” Trump said after confirming that daily strikes against Iran will continue.

“We’re going to knock out all their power plants, we’re going to knock out all their bridges unless they get to the table and negotiate,” he added.

The cyclospora outbreak is spreading like wildfire across the country. There were roughly 300 cases nationwide just a week to 10 days ago, now there are more than 3,000 cases in the state of Michigan alone! And these numbers are expected to grow dramatically over the next few weeks, in part because we still have no idea what is causing the infection.

Indeed, as cases of this parasitic infection, which causes “explosive diarrhea,” continue to sky-rocket, health officials are struggling to determine the exact source of the outbreak. According to The New York Post:

State and federal health officials are continuing to investigate multiple outbreaks, but the source has not yet been identified.

In previous US outbreaks, cyclospora has repeatedly been linked to fresh produce, including raspberries, basil, cilantro, green onions, snow peas, lettuce, mesclun and salad mixes. Research has also connected past outbreaks to blackberries, watercress, mangoes and vegetable trays.

Health officials in Michigan, one of the states hardest hit during the current outbreak, are beginning to suspect lettuce or salad greens may be responsible, although the investigation remains ongoing.

While the culprit remains unknown, what we do know is that the symptoms from the parasite aren’t pretty:

The parasite, cyclospora, spreads through raw produce and water contaminated with human feces – and it causes the intestinal illness cyclosporiasis, whose symptoms include cramps, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, low-grade fever and vomiting. The most commonly reported symptom is “watery diarrhea with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements”, according to the CDC.

Many Americans are asking what they can do to avoid this parasite:

Officials recommend following proper food safety practices when preparing meals.

Experts also say some foods appear to pose much less risk.

“To date, no commercially frozen produce, cooked foods or peeled fruit have been associated with cyclosporiasis infection,” one study cited by WPIX found.

The CDC advises washing hands thoroughly with soap and water after using the bathroom and before preparing food. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers do not kill cyclospora.

The Treatment

You can try to avoid every single food linked to cyclospora, you can follow all of the proper food safety practices, and you can still end up with the infection!

So what do you do to keep your family safe and healthy?

The good news is that while the cause of this outbreak is unknown, we do know what the treatment is – trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole – more commonly known as Bactrim.

Bactrim not only treats cyclospora infections but is the recommended treatment for a range of other GI and bacterial infections.

Attorney General nominee Todd Blanche on Wednesday morning faced Senate Judiciary Committee members in a confirmation hearing.

President Trump last month announced that he nominated Todd Blanche to serve as Attorney General.

Blanche, a former federal prosecutor in New York, was chosen to serve as the Acting Attorney General after President Trump fired Pam Bondi in April.

Prior to serving as Acting Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General, Blanche served as President Trump’s personal attorney in New York.

“He’s Acting Attorney General,” Trump said at a Rose Garden event in early June.

Italian Prime Minister will get pushback at home and abroad – but it is worth it.

A fact that is incredibly offensive for the ‘new age’ sensibilities of liberals, but is nevertheless true: human hunters are a vital part of the ecological balance of species in many regions of our planet.

Just think about how many countries are suffering lately with insane invasions by wild hogs breeding with domestic pigs at a speed faster than they can be culled, and turning rural and suburban areas upside down.

Or how the resurgence of bear populations in Japan seems beyond the ability of the government to cope with it.

So, when Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government proposes a reform of hunting laws, even if in the run-up of next-years’ elections, it seems like a good idea.

But needless to say, the proposed reform has become a huge battleground in Italy’s culture wars.

Politico reported:

“The legislation, which would mark Italy’s biggest overhaul of hunting laws in more than three decades, would expand the rights of hunters by extending hunting grounds and seasons and increasing the number of huntable species. Most controversially, it would redefine hunters as “bioregulators” who help protect biodiversity. It has been passed by the country’s senate and is now being examined by the Agriculture Committee of Italy’s parliament.

If passed, the bill would also renew tensions between Rome and Brussels. The European Commission in December sent Rome an official letter regarding the proposal over concerns it could violate the EU’s Birds Directive; the EU executive has said it is ‘closely monitoring’ the passage of legislation.”

So, there you have it: whenever European countries have good legislation in the works, the bullying and harassment by the Globalists in Brussels and Strasbourg kicks in immediately.

EU lovers from Politico also can’t fathom a reasonable motive for the legislation that’s not naked electioneering. “The government’s determination to push ahead with the reform has drawn attention as a potential play to woo conservative voters — particularly with Meloni now facing pressure from a new nationalist movement belonging to retired General Roberto Vannacci.”

“’We considered it essential to revise legislation that is more than 30 years old and adapt it to an environmental and hunting context that has changed considerably’, Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Luca De Carlo [rejected] suggestions the reform was politically driven. The bill is ‘not aimed at the conservative electorate’ but at protecting wildlife through better management, argued the lawmaker from Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party.”

President Trump is furious over his administration’s decision to capitulate to the radical left and corporate media on deportations after a series of ICE-involved shootings.

As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were yesterday directed to stop pulling over vehicles driven by illegal aliens. The Daily Mail confirmed that DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin created the directive.

This all came after fatal ICE-involved shootings in Maine and Texas.

In a long and passionate post on Truth Social, Trump argues that caving now will play right into the criminal aliens’ hands and that “it won’t happen on my watch.”

Here is his full post:

The men and women of ICE are doing a GREAT job, one that has to be done. CRIME IS WAY DOWN IN AMERICA, in many cases with numbers that haven’t been seen in decades. The Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden allowed 25,000,000 people to pour into our Country, unchecked and unvetted. Many were Criminals, and we have to get them out.

In order to do this, we must be strong, tough, and smart, and we CANNOT give up one of I.C.E.’s most important and effective crime-fighting tools, THE TRAFFIC STOP!

Once we do, we are playing right into the criminal’s hands. The Radical Left Dumocrats would like to see this done, but it won’t happen on my watch. I.C.E., be judicious, fair, and smart, and go back and do your very important job.

Keep those Crime Stat Records coming! Remember, you are loved and respected in America. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

It’s not clear at the moment whether Trump has reinstated the policy or is just blowing off steam.

On Monday, 26-year-old Joan Sebastian Guerrero of Colombia attempted to run over ICE agents during a targeted enforcement operation on Monday morning, and he was fatally shot, The Gateway Pundit reported.

In Texas, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was fatally shot after ramming an ICE vehicle, ignoring commands, and trying to run over an agent last week.

A witness to the shooting in Maine confirmed on Monday that the vehicle was “put into drive and was trying to hit the ICE officer” before shots were fired, killing the suspect.

UPDATE: Trump has officially overturned Mullin’s order.

The White House tells me President Trump OVERTURNED the suspension of ICE traffic stops this morning.

This, after DHS sent a memo out to all field office directors yesterday – saying ALL vehicle stops were suspended until further notice.
