US Central Command on Wednesday announced that US Military forces destroyed an Iran-affiliated ship targeting US Navy ships in the Gulf of Oman on October 6.

Two US Marine Corps Apache helicopters fired missiles at the dhow.

Crew members were evacuated from the vessel prior to the destruction.

Full statement from CENTCOM:

On Oct. 6, U.S. forces destroyed an Iranian-affiliated dhow conducting surveillance and targeting U.S. Navy ships in the Gulf of Oman.

Over the past seven months, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has continued to indiscriminately target thousands of civilian mariners transiting regional waters in addition to U.S. Navy warships. Crew members were safely removed prior to destruction of the dhow. Repatriation efforts are ongoing.

WATCH:

The military strikes on the vessels come as Iran-backed Houthis fired missiles at Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid International Airport.

Twelve people died and hundreds were injured after the latest Houthi missile attack on Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport.

The airport shut down operations on Saturday as officials assessed the damage.

President Trump fired a warning shot to the Houthis on Tuesday amid escalating tensions in the region.

President Trump will deliver remarks at a campaign rally in Kalispell, Montana, this evening after speaking earlier in Bullhead City, Arizona.

Trump’s western tour kicked off with a rally in Alaska on Tuesday.

He told reporters while departing the White House on Wednesday, “I’m doing, on average, a rally a day” while previewing his stops and speaking about the midterms. “Do you think that’s easy? It’s not,” he added.

WATCH:

Trump is holding a rally in northwestern Arizona for statewide candidates for governor, attorney general, and secretary of state.

Trump-Endorsed Andy Biggs is running for governor against Democrat Katie Hobbs, who stole the 2022 election from Kari Lake.

Trump recently went off on the state’s largest county, Maricopa, after a so-called error caused thousands of mail-in ballots to be sent to voters by mistake before early voting had even started, another bizarre anomaly that raises concerns about potential cheating. “By the way, there were no errors. You know that, right? There were no errors,” Trump said, suggesting that the Maricopa mail-in voting is rigged. “They got caught,” he added.

In Washington state, where males can often decide to compete against females in their sports leagues, a collection of high school students decided not to play this losing game.

On Tuesday, about a dozen students from the Camas High School cross country team walked away in protest after learning one runner was a male, according to a report from OutKick.

The protest was led by student Holly Burns, whose parents said she initially did not want to make waves, but as teammates shared her anger, the protest came together.

“She wanted to kind of play it safe, so we, we weren’t going to push it. We just kind of let her kind of feel it out. We told her that. We supported her whichever decision she tries to make,” Kevin Burns, her father, said.

“The more I heard about her friends wanting to do something, the more I heard about her team wanting to do something, we definitely were in support of that,” Kevin Burns said. “We told her, do what you think is best.”

“You hear about it, but you just never think it’s going to be on your kid’s small cross-country team,” Sarah Burns, her mother, added.

As news of the incident spread, support followed, with Jennifer Sey posting on X, “Courage always wins.”

Camas School District has said it follows Washington state rules, which are in opposition to an executive order from President Donald Trump that says males cannot compete against females in high school sports.

Tonight in Washington state, nearly half the Camas High School girls cross country team refused to compete against a boy on their own team.

He switched from the boys’ team just one month ago.

Now he’s placing in every meet.

Courage always wins.

“I don’t see how it’s okay to discriminate against my daughter and the daughters of everyone else that is trying to fairly compete,” Kevin Burns said.

Security at the race muzzled their attempt to join their daughter in a protest, he noted.

“They said that we’re not allowed to hold up signs at this event today,” he said. “I questioned them if that was constitutionally legal, if we could express ourselves by just holding a sign. And we kind of went back and forth about public versus private property. And in the end, it didn’t seem like they really had a grasp on what they could tell us to do or not,” he said.

Over a dozen Washington state girls walked off a cross country meet in protest of a male competitor who started the season on the boys team. Holly Burns was one of those girls, and her parents, Kevin and Sarah, told me last night how it took unity from the girls involved to make the protest happen.

The parents also told me they were pestered by security and other spectators for bringing protest signs to the meet, if future protests should be expected, and if they’re ready to be at the center of the country’s next big ‘Save Girls’ Sports’ drama.

“So I just went ahead and held up my sign, and they had several security guards following me and pestering me and telling me that I would have to leave. And I just said, no, I’m not going to leave.”

Sarah Burns noted that there was pushback.

“I had a lady that came up to me and said she was a psychiatric nurse and that I was a disgusting human for holding up this sign and that I was doing psychological damage to these children,” Sarah said.

“I told her that one day I’m gonna have to stand before my Lord and Savior and I’m gonna feel good about this.”

The incident comes weeks before Washington state voters will decide on Initiative 638, which would bar male students from playing against females.

However, even if the measure passes, it would not take effect in time to bar the boy — who was 76th in a junior varsity race in September — from the state finals.

Whatever happens, the Burns family plans to keep supporting their daughter.

“So we made a few contacts and we might go forward with that and have a more organized protest the next time,” Kevin Burns said.

MS Now is as dependable today as they always were.

On Wednesday, the far-left network reported that Kash Patel had landed in Russia for mysterious talks.

Top MS Now justice and intelligence reporter Ken Dilanian broke the breathtaking news this afternoon in a MS Now breaking report.

Ken Dilanian: “We don’t know what Kash Patel is doing in Russia. And that’s one of things that is concerning our FBI sources. They don’t know either. The FBI is not saying anything about this. I asked them for a comment on our reporting. They have not gotten back to me. What we know is there’s a two-day trip scheduled. He’s going to Moscow and St. Petersburg… It has not happened since 2018 when Robert Mueller went to Russia to talk about counter-terrorism cooperation.”

But the surprise was on the loons at MS Now.

The FBI this afternoon released photos of Kash Patel at Liberty University.

Unfortunately for MS Now, the FBI posted photos of Director Kash Patel at Liberty University.

The Justice Department’s investigation into Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar could widen to a conspiracy case, CNN and NBC reported.

The Feds seized Ilhan Omar’s phone when they raided her DC residence, according to a new report by NBC News.

“Federal agents seized Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s phone when they searched her Washington, D.C., home this week as part of a federal investigation into potential immigration-related crimes, and have sent roughly a dozen subpoenas out in the case, according to two people familiar with the investigation,” NBC reported.

“The possible charges cited by federal officials included conspiracy and making false statements in immigration paperwork, one of the people said,” the outlet said.

CNN also reported that the investigation into Ilhan Omar may widen to a conspiracy case as several members of Omar’s family have been subpoenaed.

Federal investigators have been probing the immigration paperwork filed by Ilhan Omar’s father.

On Monday, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that, according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.

CNN reported:

The Trump administration pushed for an unusually aggressive search of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house in recent days in an immigration fraud probe that targets the congresswoman, possible false statements made on government documents, and a potential conspiracy, according to multiple people familiar with the investigation.

Prosecutors, however, first had to contend with a federal magistrate judge, in a prolonged back-and-forth that hasn’t previously been reported. Judge Matthew Sharbaugh of the DC District Court ultimately limited how the Justice Department could access Omar’s documents in Monday’s search, before he would approve the warrant, because of her role as a member of Congress and the Constitutional protections that affords, multiple people familiar with the investigation told CNN.

The investigators’ inquiries that prompted the search include whether Omar or her now-deceased father lied about her age when she obtained citizenship in 2000, claiming she was a minor when she was of adult age.

Omar emigrated to the US as a Somalian refugee around the age of 12 and became a citizen in 2000, according to people familiar with Omar’s situation.

One source told CNN the government could try to expand the investigation into a wider conspiracy case and try to investigate if this was deception and the purposeful falsification of information over years by a larger group of individuals.

Legal expert Jonathan Turley said that laws surrounding immigration fraud mean that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota could lose her citizenship if she’s found to have committed fraud.

Homeland Security Investigations raided Omar’s Washington-area home onMonday.  The raid was part of what Fox News called a “criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman’s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child.”

A Department of Justice statement added little other than saying the raid was “part of an ongoing federal investigation,” which is “criminal” in nature.

“This investigation began under the Biden administration,” Turley noted in a video posted to X, saying that there have long been questions surrounding Omar’s history.

JUST IN: Legal expert Jonathan Turley says Ilhan Omar could face DENATURALIZATION if prosecutors prove that she obtained citizenship with FALSE INFORMATION — and now, grand jury subpoenas are hitting her family members

“The U.S. government’s position has always been that if you have information there that is untrue, where you would NOT have been made a citizen, then you can be DENATURALIZED.”

“There’s question as to the stated age of Representative Omar, which allowed her to basically piggyback on the process of her father, instead of having to file a separate effort or filing for naturalization.”

“I think that these family members very likely are related to the immigration side of this.”

The AGE issue is because she reportedly had her birth date changed after-the-fact, suggesting Omar might’ve been TOO OLD to piggyback citizenship off her father

And there you have it: lying to obtain citizenship and trying to COVER IT UP as a CONGRESSWOMAN?!

I think Omar is crooked, and she knows it.

When asked which of the various controversies surrounding Omar should be considered to have precedence, Turley replied. “I think that we should focus on the immigration side of the investigation because that’s the one that has reached the point of an actual search of her residence.”

“I think that these family members very likely are related to the immigration side of this,” he said.

“The immigration laws are very clear. When you’re accused of illegally procuring citizenship or naturalization, it is not a defense that, ‘I was innocent in all of this,’” he said.

“The U.S. government’s position has always been that if you have information there that is untrue, where you would not have been made a citizen, then you can be denaturalized,” he said, noting that the standard of proof for denaturalization is high.

“There’s also question as to the stated age of Representative Omar, which allowed her to basically piggyback on the process of her father, instead of having to file a separate effort, filing for naturalization,” he said.

In previous comments cited by RealClearPolitics on Tuesday, Turley noted that Omar’s father “filled out much of the paperwork that may be the subject of this search. He had a record as a colonel in a really brutal regime, and there may be questions as to those original papers.”

He then explained why age matters.

“By saying that she was 17, she did not have to file for her own citizenship,” Turley said.

A report in the New York Post said that congressional staff pushed to have Omer’s official birth date changed from 1981 to 1982.

Former political rival A.J. Kern told the newspaper on Tuesaday that Omar “claims her citizenship narrative is that she derived citizenship through her father when she was a 17-year-old minor.”

“For derivative citizenship, two things have to be true — one, her father had to naturalize; and two, she still had to be a minor — and what I have found is that it’s highly likely that neither of those things are true,” he said, noting that a complaint to get to the truth of the matter was dismissed.
