CENTCOM said in in a press release,

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed an additional round of strikes against Iran at 10 p.m. ET, July 14, hitting dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.

U.S. fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels launched precision munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems during the seven-hour wave to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews.

The strikes took place the same day U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade against vessels transiting to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas. The blockade went into effect at 4 p.m. ET today.

U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief.

US forces launched another round of strikes against Iran on Tuesday afternoon, marking four consecutive days of attacks, just one hour before the US Navy blockade against Iran started. 

US Central Command announced that the strikes began at 3 pm ET “as American forces prepare to resume the naval blockade against Iranian ports and coastal areas.”

At 3 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching an additional round of strikes against Iran to continue degrading Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The strikes are taking place as American forces prepare to resume the naval blockade against Iranian ports and coastal areas. The blockade goes into effect at 4 p.m. ET.

President Trump previously declared that the ceasefire with Iran is “over” last week before launching multiple strikes, including a 5-hour-long mission on Monday.

Before this, the US executed strikes throughout the weekend after Iran targeted another commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

Trump also announced on Monday that he’s resuming the blockade on Monday.

The President told Fox News earlier, “We’re taking over the Strait. They have nothing. They’ve got nothing. They’re professional negotiators. That’s all they are. I don’t even call them good at it. They haven’t gotten anything. They’ve got nothing from me.”

“But if you look for 47 years, they’ve been tapping people along, Presidents. Every president got tapped along, didn’t do anything, and they became more and more powerful,” the President added.

Hollywood actor James Franco must be trolling everyone with this, because no one would be dumb enough to believe it.

He has been teasing for a while now that he captured footage of an alien on his property and this week, he finally showed it to the world, but it looks like it’s something out of a B-movie from the 1960s.

Still, Franco is doing all of this with a straight face, as if he is completely serious. Does he really believe this is genuine? Does he expect others to do the same?

KTLA News reports:

We’re just as confused by James Franco’s alien video as you are

Actor James Franco returned to social media last month and is making some bizarre accusations.

Since early June, Franco has been posting a series of cryptic TikToks hinting at evidence of an alien encounter.

In a June 3 post, he told his followers that he created the account because “there’s some serious s–t going on.” He said it’s really him and not AI. He then wrote his TikTok handle on a piece of paper.

“I know I seem crazy,” he said. “No, this is real.”

He then asked people to follow him so he would know who was interested in what he had to say. He also promised to show his followers “some crazy stuff.”

More recently, he’d been teasing that something was coming on July 13.

Well, on Monday, that day arrived, and he finally released some “proof,” but we’re still not sure if it’s legitimate.

“It was thrust upon me, I didn’t ask for this,” he said as he stood in his kitchen.

Are you ready for this? Here it is:

Maybe Franco should try writing a decent script or making a new documentary instead.

His alien video looks like it was made by middle school students.

A Wisconsin board said Elon Musk may have violated an election law by offering $1 million to American who oppose radical judges during the state’s Supreme Court election.

As previously reported, Elon Musk promised to give away $1 million each day until the November 2024 election to those who sign his petition supporting the U.S. Constitution.

At a packed 2024 rally in Pennsylvania, Elon Musk wasted no time in following through on that promise, awarding a $1 million check to John Dreher, one of the attendees.

Elon Musk continued his giveaway in 2025 during Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election.

Musk’s America PAC awarded $1 million checks to three voters who signed a petition to protest the far-left “activist judges” in Wisconsin’s judicial race.

CBS News reported:

The Wisconsin Elections Commission found that billionaire Elon Musk may have violated the state’s election bribery law by offering $1 million checks to voters during a Wisconsin Supreme Court election that Musk’s political action committee spent heavily in.

The commission — which is made up of three Republicans and three Democrats — voted 5-1 last Thursday to refer two complaints filed by voters against Musk to the Brown County District Attorney’s office, commission Communications Director Emilee Miklas told CBS News.

A motion approved by the committee found “probable cause” that Musk violated a state law that makes it a crime to offer a person “anything of value” to induce them to vote.

It is unclear whether Brown County District Attorney David Lasee — the top prosecutor in the county that covers Green Bay — plans to pursue charges.

A Pennsylvania judge previously refused to block Elon Musk’s $1 million daily giveaway with no explanation.

If only Americans vote in American elections, Democrats will be out of the job, and they are admitting it publicly.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan was recently speaking to a crowd of supporters about the SAVE America Act and she accidentally gave the game away without even seeming to realize it.

Conservatives know why Democrats oppose the act. They want people to be able to vote without IDs so that illegal immigrants can vote.

They keep trying to claim that it’s just too difficult for certain Americans to obtain an ID but that’s ridiculous. You can’t do anything in life today without a valid ID.

Slotkin’s comments take things a step even further.

In the clip below, she actually says:

“The SAVE [America] Act, which would literally allow this administration to rig our democracy so that it would be hard for any Democrat in any state to win any election.”

It is time to get out the crayons (or Sharpies) and explain this to them like they are kindergarteners.

If you want to vote in America’s elections, you need to be an American.

How do we determine who is or is not an American? We check an ID or other proof of citizenship.

If someone is not a citizen, they will not be able to vote!

If that hurts Democrats’ chances, the reason why is obvious.

Jashanpreet Singh, the 21-year-old illegal alien semi-truck driver who killed three people on a Southern California freeway last October was sentenced to under 5 years in prison on Tuesday.

Singh previously pleaded guilty to three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.

Superior Court Judge Shannon Faherty (D) (she was previously appointed by Governor Newsom to fill a vacancy), sentenced Singh to 4 years and eight months in prison after he killed three people and injured several others in a multi-vehicle pile-up crash.

According to Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, Singh is an Indian illegal alien who was caught and released by border patrol agents at the El Centro, California, sector by the Biden administration in March 2022.

“I’m told ICE is placing a detainer request on Singh with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department, where he is in custody on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He has not been formally charged yet,” Bill Melugin said.

BREAKING: Per multiple ICE sources, Jashanpreet Singh, the semi-truck driver suspected of killing three people in a DUI crash on the 10 freeway in Ontario, CA yesterday, is an Indian illegal alien who was caught & released at the CA border by the Biden admin in March 2022.

Three people were killed and several others were severely injured after Singh plowed into vehicles on a freeway in Ontario, California, last October.

Eyewitnesses said the collision created a massive fireball after Singh failed to stop as traffic slowed down.

It took over 24 hours from the time of the accident for the California Highway Patrol (CHP) to release the identity of the driver who caused the fiery crash.

The Gateway Pundit reached out to CHP Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, inquiring about the identity of the truck driver who caused the deadly chain-reaction car accident on the 10 westbound freeway.

Officer Jimenez did not immediately respond to The Gateway Pundit’s email; however, KTLA reported later Wednesday that authorities identified the driver as Jashanpreet Singh.

Dashcam video obtained by KABC shows the moment Singh plowed into three vehicles before smashing into another semi-truck.

A total of 8 vehicles, including four big rig trucks, were involved in the deadly crash.

An eyewitness said Singh was driving at a high rate of speed when he slammed into the vehicles.

Singh was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs but a toxicology report later revealed he was not under the influence.
