WATCH: Drone Strikes Oil Tanker in Red Sea as Biden’s Failing War in Yemen Drags On.

Footage has emerged showing a suicide drone striking an oil tanker approximately 100 nautical miles northwest of Yemen‘s port city of Hodeidah. The drone struck the tanker on its portside, raising concerns about a potential oil spill.

The incident represents another failure for Joe Biden’s Operation Prosperity Guardian, aimed at curbing the Houthis’ activities in the Red Sea. Biden previously admitted that U.S. strikes in Yemen were not stopping Houthi attacks on global shipping but vowed to continue them anyway.

“When you say working, are they stopping the Houthis, no. Are they going to continue, yes,” Biden told reporters in January.

The footage of the attack was released by the Iran-backed Houthis, who have been targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November. They claim these attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the conflict in Gaza.

Since Biden launched his ineffective campaign against them, their attacks have expanded to include targets in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean.

In May, the Houthis even managed to capture a $30 million U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone, adding to the embarrassment of the U.S. in the region.

Government Bans Pro-Trump Magazine for Criticizing Multiculturalism.

Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has unilaterally banned the right-wing, pro-Donald J. Trump Compact Magazin, accusing the publication of fostering “hatred” of migrants and ethnic diversity. “The ban shows that we are also taking action against the intellectual arsonists who stir up a climate of hatred and violence against refugees and migrants and want to overcome our democratic state,” Minister Faeser said.

“Our signal is very clear: We will not allow ethnic definitions of who belongs to Germany and who does not,” she added.

Several people associated with the magazine, including publisher Jürgen Elsässer, had their homes raided following the ban on July 16. Police also seized the magazine’s assets.

Compact is well-known for its links to the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which lawmakers in Germany’s parliament, the Bundestag, are also trying to get banned. The magazine is also noted for being skeptical of Western involvement in the Ukraine war, blaming NATO expansion for the conflict.

Brandenburg state interior minister Michael Stübgen, a member of the so-called “center-right” Christian Democratic Union (CDU) formerly led by Angela Merkel, has said all of Compact‘s social media channels will be scrubbed from the Internet, with their content deleted and revenue confiscated.

Earlier this year, Minister Faeser, who previously wrote for far-left Antifa publications, announced the government would be banning anyone declared a far-right extremist from owning firearms. The government will also trace people who donate to allegedly far-right individuals and groups.

Boris Johnson Lobbies Trump for Ukraine After Speech to Audience of Empty Chairs at RNC.

Former British prime minister Boris Johnson met with former President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday and lobbied him to prolong the Ukraine war. Johnson posted a picture of his meeting with the America First leader shortly after delivering a speech to a nearly empty room at the Republican National Convention (RNC).

Johnson said President Trump was on “top form” following the failed assassination attempt against him in Pennsylvania, writing on X (formerly Twitter), “We discussed Ukraine, and I have no doubt that he will be strong and decisive in supporting that country and defending democracy.”

It is a marked change of attitude from the supposedly right-wing Briton, who said “America is unreservedly back as the leader of the free world and that is a fantastic thing” after Biden replaced Trump.

Prior to Trump’s victory in the 2016 election, Johnson joined much of the political establishment in trashing then-candidate Trump as “unfit to hold the office of President of the United States.”

Since resigning as Prime Minister in 2022, Johnson has become a lobbyist for Ukraine and war with Russia. In September of last year, Johnson begged Trump not to withdraw support.

Reports indicate Johnson personally sabotaged a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia in the early stages of the war in 2022. Naftali Bennett, the Prime Minister of Israel at the start of the conflict, has revealed he helped to negotiate a ceasefire, but NATO powers including the U.S. and Britain where Johnson was then still Prime Minister, “blocked it.”

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin later confirmed this during an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier this year, saying a negotiated peace agreement had been made in Istanbul, Turkey, but Johnson dissuaded Volodymyr Zelensky from signing.

Following the interview, Johnson pilloried Carlson, calling him a tool of the Kremlin. Carlson said he reached out to interview Johnson, but the former prime minister demanded a million dollars to appear.

In May, footage emerged of Johnson praising Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Azov Brigade at a private London club.

Great Britain’s Last Ethnic Minority Leader Resigns as Left Turns Back to White Men.

The Zambia-born First Minister of Wales, Vaughan Gething, is resigning. With the Labour politician’s elevation in March, every national leader in Great Britain was an ethnic minority. Now, all of them have gone.

Humza Yousaf, First Minister of Scotland, was the first to lose office. The Pakistani-heritage Muslim resigned as leader of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP) in April. He had been facing a no-confidence vote after breaking a coalition agreement with the Greens, who propped up his anti-free speech administration in the Scottish government—roughly equivalent to a U.S. state government.

Unlike Scotland and Wales, England lacks a devolved government, with the British central government administering its domestic affairs. Until July 5, the British government was led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, an Indian-heritage Hindu. He has been replaced by Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer after leading the Conservatives into their worst-ever general election defeat.

Neither Yousaf, Sunak, nor Gething became national leaders after winning at the ballot box; all of them were installed by their parties between elections.

Yousaf’s leftist party has replaced him with John Swinney. Like Starmer, he is a white man in his sixties. Gething’s replacement is yet to be determined, but another white man is the favorite to replace him: Jeremy Miles.

Feds Confirm They Were Aware of Plot to Assassinate Trump.

Federal agents became aware in recent weeks that the Islamic Republic of Iran is plotting an assassination attempt on former President Donald J. Trump. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) says they have received human-sourced intelligence regarding the plot—allegedly increasing Trump’s security detail.

However, any changes to the security situation involving Trump did not appear to deter would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks, who fired several shots at the former president on Saturday, striking him in the ear and killing hero rallygoer Corey Comperatore while he shielded his family.

At the moment, it is not believed that Crooks and the Iranian plot against Trump’s life are connected.

Iran’s plot against Trump stems from his order in September 2020 to target one of the Islamic state’s top military commanders, Qassem Soleimani, in a drone strike. Soleimani was tied to numerous attacks by Iranian proxies against American soldiers—and believed to be the nexus of Iranian terror activities. Soleimani was killed in the strike, prompting the Iranians to declare him a martyr and swear revenge.

The existence of the Iran assassination plot raises even more questions regarding the security lapses and apparent lack of resources for Trump‘s United States Secret Service (USSS) detail at last Saturday’s rally. Video evidence shows rallygoers attempting to draw the attention of law enforcement to the gunman for several minutes before he opened fire.

Additional reports suggest that law enforcement had identified the would-be assassin as a suspicious person of interest upwards of half an hour before the shooting occurred.

According to the USSS, the rooftop—an elevated position just 400 feet away from where former President Trump was speaking—from which the attack was carried out was a high-priority location of concern. Despite this, no agents were stationed on the roof.

Local Cops Trash Secret Service Director’s Narrative Over Trump Hit.

Law enforcement sources across “multiple counties” in Pennsylvania are contradicting United States Secret Service (USSS) Director Kimberly Cheatle’s account of the events leading up to the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump on Saturday. Specifically, they are refuting her claims that there were police inside the building from which the would-be assassin opened fire.

Cheatle has said assets were not posted on the building due to its “sloped roof,” and “the decision was made to secure the building from inside.”

Channel 11’s Nicole Ford reports local police took photographs of the sniper, Thomas Matthew Crooks, “at least” 26 minutes before he attempted to assassinate Trump and that these were “sent up the command chain.” Sources told Ford that Crooks was also “spotted by police with a range finder.”

Ford’s sources say Crooks did not climb the roof until after Trump began his speech and that he was on top of the building for “fewer than seven minutes” before being confronted by a local police officer.

Serious questions have been raised about the USSS security failures that allowed Crooks to open fire on Trump, striking his ear and three rallygoers, one of whom was killed. Cheatle has said “the buck stops with me” but she has not offered her resignation.

Secret Service Did Not Post Anyone on Sniper Building Because Slightly Sloped Roof Created ‘Safety Factor’ for Agents.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle claims her agency failed to station an agent on the rooftop from which gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate former President Donald J. Trump because it had “a sloped roof at its highest point.” She argues there was “a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” adding that “the decision was made to secure the building from inside”—which did not stop Crooks from climbing the building and opening fire on the former president.

Cheatle, under mounting pressure to resign over security lapses at the Butler, Pennsylvania rally, says the “shooter was identified as a potential threat” before the assassination attempt. This raises further questions as to how he was able to get off multiple shots at President Trump, striking his ear and killing rallygoer Corey Comperatore.

Despite security flagging him as suspicious, Crooks managed to evade detection multiple times and spent up to 30 minutes on the roof before his attack. Eyewitnesses were pleading with law enforcement to do something upon spotting Crooks on the roof with a rifle, but he was able to execute his attempt on Trump’s life unimpeded.

“The buck stops with me,” Cheatle has said, describing the incident as “unacceptable” and pledging to prevent such lapses in the future—instead of offering her resignation. She will testify before Congress in the coming days.

Meanwhile, former U.S. Army sniper Rep. Cory Mills, is arguing the lapses make no sense and may have been “intentional.”

“The amount of negligence, the amount of mistakes made here, I have a very difficult time not leaning myself towards this was intentional as opposed to fecklessness,” he told CNN.

Jack Black Cancels Concert Tour After Sidekick Celebrates Trump Assassination Attempt on Stage.

Hollywood actor and musician Jack Black announced the remainder of his band Tenacious D’s tour would be put on hold after his friend and sidekick Kyle Gass appeared to celebrate the assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump during a concert in Australia on Sunday night. In a video from the event, Gass declares, “Don’t miss Trump next time,” while blowing out candles on a cake to celebrate his birthday.

“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black said in a statement following the incident. The Joe Biden supporter added: “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

Gass’s horrendous comment appears to have been in response to Black stating he should make a wish as he blew out the candles. The remark came just 24 hours after former President Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet while holding a rally in Pennsylvania.

Rallygoer Corey Comperatore was killed by the gunfire when he leaped on his family to protect them from the bullets. Two other Trump supporters were seriously injured.

Musk Moving SpaceX to Texas In Response to California’s New Anti-Family Trans Law.

Billionaire technology mogul Elon Musk will move his SpaceX operations entirely out of California and into Texas after Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) announced he has signed AB1955 into law. The legislation bans schools from enacting rules that would require the notification of parents if a child identifies as transgender—effectively substituting the state for family.

“This is the final straw,” Musk said in a post on X (formerly Twitter)—the social media platform he purchased in 2022. He added: “Because of this law and the many others that preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas.”

Musk added, in a separate post: “I did make it clear to Governor Newsom about a year ago that laws of this nature would force families and companies to leave California to protect their children.”

Under the new law, California school districts will no longer be allowed to notify parents if their child begins using different pronouns or self-recognizes as a different gender. The law makes the state the first to bar school districts from sharing pertinent information with parents regarding their children.

Earlier this year, California’s Democrat Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a legal advisory to schools in the state warning that informing parents of their children’s decision to use different pronouns or change their gender—without the child’s permission—likely violated the state constitution.

Trump Tax Returns Thief Reveals Stealing Americans’ Records Is ‘Easy.’

Charles Littlejohn, a former Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contractor convicted of stealing former President Donald J. Trump’s tax returns, has revealed he could access sensitive taxpayer information easily. Littlejohn, who worked for Booz Allen Hamilton and possessed an IRS-issued email address and laptop, admitted to being able to retrieve tax returns of any American without impediment.

In a deposition on March 19, Littlejohn disclosed that he pilfered tax returns from approximately 7,500 wealthy individuals and shared some of the data with journalists. “I was able to access tax returns at will,” he bragged.

Before the deposition, the Department of Justice (DOJ) informed the judge in the case that Littlejohn had taken the job in question solely so he would have access to Trump’s tax returns.

Following his admission, Littlejohn reached a plea agreement with the IRS. He is due for release from the Marion Federal Correctional Institution in Illinois on July 13, 2028.

The case raises significant concerns about the security of taxpayer data held by federal agencies.
