This article was originally published by Micahel Snyder at The Economic Collapse Blog under the title: The U.S. Navy Just Blew A Giant Hole In An Iranian Cargo Ship As The Crisis In The Strait Of Hormuz Escalates To An Entirely New Level Apparently the Trump administration was not kidding when it warned that no Iranian ships would be allowed through the blockade. Just a little while ago, Donald Trump announced that the U.S. Navy had blown an enormous hole in the side of an Iranian cargo vessel that had willingly chosen to ignore a warning to turn around. Just two days after the completely irrational euphoria that we witnessed on Friday, the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz is worse than ever, and there is no end in sight. On Friday, I explained why the extremely positive headlines that we were reading in the Western world were dead wrong. When the two-week ceasefire with Iran was originally unveiled, the Iranians were supposed to completely open the Strait of Hormuz for that two-week period. But they hesitated because fighting was still raging in Lebanon, and the Iranians believed that the fighting in Lebanon was supposed to be part of the ceasefire.…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! If you’re proud of something, you want people to see it. That is why it’s telling that Virginia Democrats are asking Old Dominion residents to vote for a redistricting scheme without allowing their proposed map to be printed on the ballots.But it’s no wonder: the mid-decade redistricting proposal is an obscene gerrymander that will wipe out all but one GOP-leaning congressional district in the state. And, of course, they claim it’s all done in the name of “democracy.”This dishonest power play seeks to make the congressional representation of a purple state nearly as blue as Massachusetts. It disenfranchises nearly half the Commonwealth (Virginia went 51.8%-46.6% for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024). The proposed districts are extreme – running from heavily populated blue areas deep into rural red areas. Federal government employees in Arlington and Fairfax will essentially dictate the congressional representation of farmers and shopkeepers up to 100 miles away.DAVID MARCUS: RICH MEN NORTH OF RICHMOND TRY TO STEAL VOTES OF RURAL VIRGINIANSLocal airwaves have been inundated with ads pushing this redistricting scheme as a benevolent attempt to save democracy and “free and fair elections.” One ubiquitous ad features former President…

The USS Robert Smalls will leave Yokosuka, Japan, for San Diego, California, and be replaced by the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Mustin. “This move will be a permanent change of station for the crew and family members,” the Navy said.The move, according to the service, is part of a scheduled rotation of forces in the Pacific.The Smalls was most recently assigned to Carrier Strike Group Five in support of U.S. military operations in the Indo-Pacific region.The cruiser, commissioned in 1989, was initially named the USS Chancellorsville, a nod to the city in which Confederate Gen.

Pentagon officials told senators in a classified briefing this week that the first six days of Operation Epic Fury cost American taxpayers an estimated $11.3 billion, according to a person familiar with the session. The figure, however, omitted a range of war-related expenses, indicating the overall total is likely to rise.Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., in brief remarks to reporters on Wednesday, said that he believes the $11.3 billion figure was “roughly accurate,” adding that the war’s current operation total is “significantly above that.” A Defense Department spokesperson declined to discuss details of the closed-door meeting, but emphasized to Military Times that the exact price tag will remain unknown until the mission is complete. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.President Donald Trump on Wednesday, speaking at a campaign-style event in Kentucky, declared that “we’ve won” the war.
