US Central Command announced on Saturday that US forces disabled another oil tanker sailing toward Iran for violating the US Navy blockade of Iranian ports. 

Video from the mission released by CENTCOM shows US forces conducting a “verification boarding” on a Comoros-flagged tanker in the Arabian Sea and attacking a Mozambique-flagged tanker in the Gulf of Oman after it “attempted to violate the blockade multiple times.”

WATCH:

The disabled tanker is “no longer transiting to Iran,” and the Comoros-flagged tanker is “now continuing its journey,” CENTCOM announced.

US Central Command said in a statement on Saturday,

The U.S. naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect. As of July 25, CENTCOM has redirected 12 commercial vessels trying to run the blockade, disabled 2 that didn’t comply, and boarded 2 to ensure total compliance.

Earlier today, U.S. forces completed a verification boarding aboard Comoros-flagged M/T Charminar in the Arabian Sea, and the tanker is now continuing its journey.

CENTCOM forces disabled Mozambique-flagged M/T Lavine in the Gulf of Oman, July 24, after the crew attempted to violate the blockade multiple times and ignored repeated warnings. The ship is no longer transiting to Iran.

American forces remain highly vigilant, focused, lethal, and ready.

Meanwhile, Iran said it stopped four tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz by firing “warning shots” on Saturday.  “Four vessels that had intended to transit through the southern area of the Strait of Hormuz via an illegal and unsafe route were stopped over the past 24 hours after warning shots were fired by the IRGC Navy,” the IRGC said on Saturday.

This comes after US forces on Thursday completed a 13th consecutive night of attacks against Iranian military capabilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the fighting resumed earlier this month.

Video from CENTCOM shows the most recent attacks from the nearly two-week-long airstrike campaign:

There were no new bombings on Friday, which would have been the 14th consecutive night of strikes.

Minnesota’s radical gender experiment is now targeting the playroom.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported earlier this month that a controversial program developed at the University of Minnesota Medical School is preparing to make so-called “MyGender Dolls” available to educators, school counselors, clinicians, pediatricians, and mental-health providers working with children between the ages of four and ten.

The dolls, which mimic classic paper dolls but allow children to swap out genitals, reproductive organs, clothing, hairstyles, and accessories, are being marketed as a “therapeutic” tool “grounded in gender-affirming clinical practices.”

The paper dolls reportedly have gender-neutral names, including Sam, Rory, Avery, and Parker, according to the New York Post.

According to the project’s website, they are intended to help children ages 4–10 “visualize their anatomy and genders” and “learn about the different options that exist for who they can be.”

Prototypes have already been tested on young children. University researchers previously paid “transgender and gender diverse” kids ages 5–10 and their parents $20 to $60 to participate in sessions using the dolls.

The project originated at the University of Minnesota Medical School’s Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (formerly the Program in Human Sexuality).

It is now being commercialized as MyGender Dolls and made available to teachers, school counselors, pediatricians, and mental health providers.

According to the university’s 2024 annual report:

MYGENDER DOLLS: A TOOL FOR THERAPISTS

Several of our research and scholarship projects meld art and science. We have made substantial progress on the MyGender Dolls project, a set of therapeutic tools intended for licensed therapists to use with patients and their parents or caregivers, to help children who find it difficult to express themselves.

Research and development is ongoing, and has been made possible by generous grant and donation support. We used community-engaged approaches to revise both the dolls and the therapeutic tools that are used in conjunction with them. We are working with offices at the University in order to bring this innovation to clinical spaces!

The university’s medical school allegedly receives $15 million annually in state funding under Gov. Tim Walz’s administration, money earmarked to boost research capacity.

Walz himself received the institute’s inaugural “Distinguished Sexual and Gender Health Champion Award” in 2023 and has been photographed smiling alongside one of the project’s co-founders.

The New York Post reported:

The University of Minnesota’s Medical School has been receiving $15 million annual funding from the state via Walz — cash earmarked to “increase the medical school’s research capacity” and “ensure its national prominence.”

But the school doesn’t report how much it funnels to its Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, which has a total research budget of $1.4 million, according to its 2025 annual report.

Walz, who’s pushed pro-transgender policies on the Midwestern state, was bestowed the institute’s inaugural “Distinguished Sexual and Gender Health Champion Award” in 2023, a title created just for him.

The scandal-plagued governor was even pictured with a wide grin alongside Medical School Associate Professor Nic Rider — co-founder of MyGender Dolls, which is bringing the radical dolls to market.

Rider, a psychologist who specializes in children and teen transgender health, goes by they/them pronouns, according to a bio on the medical school’s website.

Employees and senior officials at the Citizens Research Council of Michigan have a documented history of supporting Democratic candidates, participating in Democratic primaries, and criticizing Republican political figures, raising questions about the organization’s frequent portrayal in the media as a neutral, nonpartisan authority.

A research memo based on federal campaign finance records found that all identified political donations made by CRC employees went to Democratic candidates or progressive political organizations.

The contributions totaled approximately $1,285 and benefited candidates including Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Rashida Tlaib, Elissa Slotkin, and Kristen McDonald Rivet. Donations also went to Justice Democrats and the No Dem Left Behind political action committee.

The review identified no contributions to Republican candidates or conservative political committees.

Political participation records cited in the memo also show a Democratic pattern among members of CRC’s senior staff.

CRC President Eric Lupher has reportedly participated in approximately twice as many Democratic primaries as Republican primaries. Research Director Craig Thiel participated in both Democratic primaries conducted in 2024, according to the records.

Vice President of Development Rhonda Parker and Communications Director Maureen McNulty Saxton have participated in Democratic primaries but have no identified history of voting in a Republican primary, the memo found.

Public comments by senior CRC personnel have also reflected opposition to prominent Republicans.

Lupher previously referred to President Donald Trump as “Mein Fuhrer Herr Trump.” Saxton has shared social media posts mocking Trump and accusing Republicans of making political arguments in “bad faith.”

CRC describes itself as a privately funded, nonprofit public affairs research organization that provides “factual, unbiased, independent information” on issues affecting Michigan.

News organizations frequently identify the council as nonpartisan when citing its research or criticism of state policymakers.

CRC’s financial support has also come from major philanthropic organizations frequently associated with progressive policy initiatives.

Publicly available records show that the Ford Foundation provided CRC with $375,000 between 2021 and 2024. The organization has also received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Kresge Foundation, the Skillman Foundation and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation.

The Ford Foundation has separately faced scrutiny over grants made to entities in China. A Washington Examiner investigation reported that the foundation had provided nearly $10 million since 2020 to Chinese government entities and organizations with links to the Chinese Communist Party.

Those grants reportedly supported state-controlled universities, government agencies and programs connected to China’s international investment strategy.

Questions about CRC’s political background have become more significant as the organization has criticized Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall and the Republican-controlled House.

House Republicans have promoted their work on the state budget as an effort to reduce spending, eliminate unnecessary programs, and impose additional transparency requirements.

They have also pursued legislation intended to restrict entities associated with foreign adversaries, including China, from purchasing Michigan farmland. This important work has been undermined by the CRC’s reporting by Democrat donors.

The available records indicate that CRC is not institutionally detached from Michigan’s political debates. Far from it—its employees have overwhelmingly supported Democrats in the political activity identified by the research memo, while senior officials have publicly criticized Republican figures. The facts show that the CRC’s impartiality is little more than a front designed to detract from their left-wing partisan agenda.

On Saturday morning. Radio host Sid Rosenberg joined Fox News and went scorched earth on far-left radical NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, holding nothing back.

Recently, Mamdani sauntered up to the mic like a bantam rooster to boast that his administration was actively considering whether he could direct police to detain Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he travels to New York in September for the United Nations General Assembly.

In an interview on the New York Times podcast The Interview, Mamdani said Netanyahu “belongs in the Hague,” calling him a war criminal charged by the International Criminal Court over the Gaza war.

President Donald Trump said Netanyahu “will not be arrested, in any way, shape, or form, while in the United States of America.” Netanyahu responded on Rosenberg’s program that Mamdani is with “the terror actors.”

Mamdani has maintained an anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, and pro-Palestinian stance, and now appears to support the IRGC.

Rosenberg said on Fox, "People are very nice people, but trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is like trying to talk to the IRGC, okay? This guy is a terrorist. That's the bottom line. I'll say it. You don't want to say it. I'll say it. He's a terrorist. He's a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people. He hates the German people. Unless you're Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you."

"He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people stabbed the other day in the Upper East Side of New York City. That blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani."

"We got to find a way to get this guy out of here. Maybe Dr. Naomi Wolf is right. Maybe that election wasn't what it looked like on paper. Maybe he really didn't win. But either way, this guy is the worst thing to happen to New York politics, maybe in the history of our state."

"He's a lowlife."

Fox News' Griff Jenkins appeared to bristle at the blistering honesty and cut in, "I mean, I think you may be a bit over your skis in calling him, labeling him a terrorist, and you're probably getting flagged."

"But let me ask you this, because the New Yorkers elected this guy. They knew everything about him before. Like, this is predictable. You talk about predictability. This is a predictable—"

Rosenberg shot back, "Let me ask you this. The Hamas guys that are in Qatar right now, they've never put on a bullet— excuse me, an explosive vest. They've never shot anybody. Would you consider those guys terrorists? Because I would."

"Okay, so his ideologies are in line with the terrorists."

"Mahmoud Khalil is a campus terrorist. You don't have to kill somebody to be a terrorist. You have to share the ideology."

"That's what this guy is. He's no better than the person who actually goes and shoots somebody because he respects that person. He likes that person. That makes him one of them.

President Trump took a moment during his White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner speech on Friday to troll the Iranian Supreme Leader and highlight one of his accomplishments that “the media never talks about.”

Trump tossed the political correctness that the left-wing media complex is accustomed to out the window, telling them that Iran is “now being run by a gay dictator.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei, is believed to be a gay man. The leader of the brutal theocratic regime is ironically believed to have had a long-term sexual relationship with his male childhood tutor.

Trump is said to have laughed out loud when briefed by intelligence officials, while others in the room also found it hilarious, according to sources who spoke to the New York Post.

“While I have all of the press here in one place, I have to say that we’re having an amazing load of accomplishments that the media never talks about,” Trump said.

“For example, under my administration, a once-feared and powerful regime that relentlessly attacked America has finally been toppled.”

Trump continued, “Their former leaders have been removed, and they’re now being run by a gay dictator facing internal divisions.”

WATCH:

US forces continued strikes against Iran this week, completing 13 consecutive nights of attacks against Iranian military capabilities in and around the Strait of Hormuz since the fighting resumed earlier this month.

Video from CENTCOM shows the most recent attacks from the nearly two-week-long airstrike campaign:

Meanwhile, the Supreme Leader hasn’t even been seen publicly since the start of the military conflict between Iran and the US.

The 56-year-old Mojtaba Khamenei is believed to have been injured, possibly critically, since the first US strikes on February 28, which killed his father and other top Iranian officials.

Notably, Khamenei did not even attend his own father’s funeral earlier this month.
