U.S. widens offensive against Iran, hitting
infrastructure inland
Posted By: FlyRight, 7/26/2026 6:44:13 AM
The U.S. has widened its military campaign against Iran, shifting from attacks on coastal military targets to strikes farther inland that have damaged key infrastructure, including bridges, transportation routes and utility facilities. The expanded operation comes after a short-lived ceasefire collapsed, reigniting fighting over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s busiest oil shipping lanes, the Associated Press reported. Since hostilities started again, U.S. forces have moved beyond targeting naval capabilities and missile sites along Iran’s southern coast to striking military and infrastructure targets deeper inside the country.

into university housing programs over
race discrimination 1 reply
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has opened civil rights investigations into housing programs at two public universities after complaints alleged the schools promote or operate residential communities based on race, the agency announced.
HUD's Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity is investigating the University of Connecticut and the University of Minnesota to determine whether their campus housing programs violate the Fair Housing Act by steering or advertising housing opportunities based on race or ethnicity.
The investigations stem from complaints filed by the Equal Protection Project, which argues that the universities' themed residential communities unlawfully classify students by race even if participation is technically open to all students.

Speaker Mike Johnson pulled off another unlikely feat getting a divided Republican conference to pass a bill providing Iran war funding and supporting state voter ID requirements. This time, he had a hand from Vice President JD Vance, who worked the phones behind the scenes to get skeptical conservative members on board, sources familiar with the matter tell the Daily Signal.
Overcoming numerous divisions within the conference, House Republicans on Wednesday successfully passed a framework for reconciliation 3.0, which included $95 billion in spending for the Iran war and parts of the SAVE America Act.
Many in Atlanta also celebrate its popularity because it's a successful black-owned business, co-owned by Tamara Young and Chef Virgil Harper. And that's fine; it's a free country, and people are welcome to celebrate what they want and what matters to them. Personally, when I go out to eat, I really only care about things like flavor and service, not the race of the owners. I grew up with parents who never considered someone's skin color a defining factor in who they are or what they're capable of achieving, and I've always followed their lead.
watchdog group is calling on Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) William Pulte to review the security clearances of certain members of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team following allegations they mishandled classified information.
The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) has sent a letter to the DNI asserting allegations against members of Smith’s team and requesting an investigation to revoke security clearances if needed.
“As recent documents from Senator Grassley’s office have shown, several members of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office were extremely careless when handling classified documents and with the security of designated classified areas,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick said in a statement.
California rejected nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots during its June primary, the highest total in recent election cycles, as a surge in late-postmarked ballots sparked concerns about changes to U.S. Postal Service processing.
According to data from the California secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail ballots — or 1.73 percent of all mailed ballots cast — were rejected in the state’s June primary, up from roughly 109,000 rejected ballots in the 2024 primary and up from about 106,000 in the 2022 primary.
More than 93,000 ballots were disqualified because they were deemed late, making timeliness the most common reason the ballots were rejected.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Evan Barker, a former Obama intern and lifelong Democrat, who left the party after what she saw as a volunteer at the Democratic National Convention.
In 2024, in an op-ed for Newsweek, she expanded on why she became so “disenchanted” with Democrat leadership despite raising “tens of millions of dollars” for them and why she left the party.
Next week, Baker’s memoir, “Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative,” is set to drop.
The Wall Street Journal’s Barton Swaim previewed the book noting:
President Donald Trump has a winning strategy on Iran. The military campaign should not stop until Iran's regime delivers an unconditional surrender, as Germany and Japan did in World War II.
House Speaker Mike Johnson should be cautious about telling Trump to "wrap it up." The US strikes on Iran have been as breathtaking as they were overdue – and massively complex. What would the world look like today if in 1942 the US and its allies had been told to "wrap it up"?
Trump should not listen to anyone who tells him to slow down or ease up. The Gulf Arabs are being hit hard again --
Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued a temporary stay blocking the Trump administration’s State Department policy that restricted visas for foreign nationals involved in efforts to censor Americans online.
Boasberg issued the sweeping 58-page memorandum opinion on July 14, siding with the Coalition for Independent Technology Research, or CITR, which represents leftist researchers, fake fact-checkers, nonprofit activists, and so-called “trust and safety” professionals.
President Trump on Friday blasted the European Union for fining American tech companies.
Trump said the European Union is robbing the American taxpayer.
The European Union fined Apple $15 billion, Meta $3 billion and Amazon $2.5 billion.
President Trump said he launched a 301 investigation after the European Union fined Google another $1 billion. Full statement from President Trump:
The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies!
After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars,
Alaska has sent 3,048 letters to voters asking them to verify their citizenship status ahead of the August 18 primaries.
The more than 3,000 voters who received the letters were moved to inactive status. They will be able vote with provisional ballots if they do not respond to the letter before the primary election.
ABC News reported:
The state has sent more than 3,000 letters to Alaska voters asking them to verify their citizenship ahead of the Aug. 18 primary, a number a top state elections official said is unusually high.
The letters have raised concerns among some state lawmakers, including one who said some constituents who received them are U.S. citizens.
OK, so here's the deal:
With the news cycle full of stories about the war in Iran, Democratic Socialist (Marxist) mayors' latest destructive nonsense, election fraud, Medicaid fraud, and other such fun stuff, I decided to take a short trip off the beaten path and write about an intriguing case involving face tattoos, inalienable rights, and the U.S. Constitution. Sound like a fun diversion? It was. Read on.
As many, if not most, of us are aware, free speech cases are often messy and usually replete with uncomfortable facts. This is one of those cases.

Actor Alan Ritchson, star of the Amazon Prime show Reacher, accused President Donald Trump of concealing the Epstein Files while saying that he’s “all up into 13 year olds.”
Ritchson expressed his thoughts during an interview with podcaster Josh Horwitz.
“People, I think, are a little afraid of me because they’re like he’s a loose canon, and I am not. I’m just saying the s*** that everybody should say if they give a s*** about humanity everybody else should feel like I feel about the way things are and the abuses that are happening everywhere,” he said.
It was then that Ritchson expressed outrage over the “the f****** Epstein files.”
Three more subcontractors that worked on the Obama Presidential Center have filed legal claims saying they are owed nearly $900,000, adding to a growing list of payment disputes surrounding the project.
The companies each filed mechanics liens against the Obama Presidential Center property, a routine legal tool used on construction projects to recover unpaid construction costs. The subcontractors claim they are owed money for structural steel, excavation and concrete, and gymnasium flooring work performed on Home Court, the Center's 60,000-square-foot basketball and events facility.
Twenty-five states, with the help of a Department of Homeland Security database, have identified hundreds of thousands of dead people and noncitizens registered to vote, and they haven’t finished counting yet.
So far, just 10 states—including key battlegrounds Georgia and North Carolina—have fully processed the voter data through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, database.
SAVE is primarily used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to verify eligibility for government benefits. The Trump administration made it available to states to cross-reference voter registration data.
The socialists are feeling their oats right now.
They think they are on the rise in the face of a weak Democratic Party that seems largely okay with being eaten alive, and already has been largely taken over by radicals.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — the guy with the perpetual smirk — is one piece of evidence of this trend. He apparently thought he could dictate foreign policy and get Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested. Then when he found out he doesn't have that kind of power, he had to resort to encouraging leftists to protest.
That has now ticked off the local police,
California’s Medi-Cal crisis has left taxpayers paying for fraud, waste, and abuse.
The Pacific Research Institute released a study this week breaking down how taxpayers are paying for “a program that has grown beyond the state’s ability to effectively manage it.”
The findings come as the Trump administration announced on July 21 that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is pausing over $860 million in funding to California after federal officials discovered in-home supportive services claims that significantly exceeded national trends.
Sally Pipes, the institute’s president, told the Daily Signal that rooting out fraud should be lawmakers’ top priority.
“If lawmakers could make only one thing happen this year,
They’re dolling up the trans agenda — and taxpayers are footing the bill.
“First-of-their-kind” transgender dolls — complete with removable genitalia — will debut in some Minnesota classrooms this fall to kids as young as 4 years old. The paper dolls, with gender-neutral names like “Sam,” “Rory,” “Avery” and “Parker,” have removable internal and external genitals, along with more than 100 interchangeable pieces of clothing, accessories and hairstyles — like a trans Mr./Mrs. Potato Head.
In 2023, the New York Times ran an article entitled, “Increasingly, Women Are Running the World’s Great Museums.” Some of the museums mentioned were the Louvre, the Vatican Museum, and the National Gallery of Art.
But it’s not only museums where women dominate. Other arts and cultural institutions seem to be on a permanent trajectory to hire women as CEOs. On the surface, this shouldn’t be a problem. Qualified women should certainly take their place at the top if they are the best candidates for the job.
But…. There seems to be a troubling common denominator here. The vast majority of the women in these positions fit a certain mold.
Another stunning connection has emerged between Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family and the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud scandal that robbed American taxpayers of hundreds of millions of dollars intended to feed needy children.
Omar’s sister, Sahra Noor, registered her consulting company at a Minnesota residence connected through business records to several major figures in the Feeding Our Future operation, according to an investigation by The Daily Wire.
Noor founded Grit Partners Consulting, a health and leadership consultancy focused largely on projects in Africa.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Economic Development Corporation admitted this week that his city-owned grocery stores “might not have all the items” you’d find in a typical supermarket.
The five stores — which are expected to cost taxpayers upwards of $70 million — will likely not include hot food counters or butchers, EDC officials revealed during a board meeting Thursday.
“It may not have all the items, but it’s going to be like a typical grocery store,” insisted Jeanny Pak, interim CEO of the EDC, the powerful city-run nonprofit tasked with boosting economic growth and development. Pak also echoed Mamdani’s assertion that only certain items in the stores would be discounted.
The German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, vowed to punish those responsible after a car struck people on the outskirts of Berlin’s Gay Pride celebrations, killing at least one person and wounding 16 others.
The attack on Saturday night forced organisers to cut short one of Europe’s largest Pride events and comes as Germany remains on edge after a series of deadly vehicle and knife attacks in recent years.
Police said those hurt “included several with life-threatening injuries”. They called on everyone to leave the event, one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations, immediately, in a post on X.

The Odyssey” is taking hits from conservatives, rightly so, for its “woke” casting. Some of director Christopher Nolan’s choices are indeed odd and distracting. (Why does the Bard look like a Rastafarian?)
But it’s leftists who should be even more upset about the people chosen for key roles.
Sure, the movie checks all the diversity boxes, which, according to our friends at Unleash Prosperity, is mandatory if you want your film to be considered for Best Picture in today’s leftist-controlled Hollywood. So, Nolan appeased the left’s diversity gods with a cast that, according to one count, is 50% white, 24% Latino and Hispanic, 12% black, and 9%
