Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

Perhaps we should ‘decarbonise’ the warming loons.

The climate crazy — it’s still with us.

One year ago, the International Court of Justice in The Hague declared that all nations are obligated to protect the sky from greenhouse gas emissions. It’s unfortunate, but climate zealotry stubbornly hangs on. [some emphasis, links added]

The global warming cabal, which is less concerned with climate than abolishing capitalism and advancing their cult, has been showing cracks in recent years.

A little more than a year ago, we noted that “our friend Steven Hayward,” a university professor and incisive thinker, had written “a compelling essay … about ‘The Nadir of the Climate Change Movement.’”

We also chronicled in “Climate Alarm On The Run” parts I and II about the Washington Post decision to cut its climate “reporting” team down to “five lonely reporters” and the elimination of the National Public Radio climate desk, which is “what happens when ‘journalists’ keep reporting about a dead horse.”

“Eventually,” we said, “the public realizes the horse has perished, and there’s nothing left to talk about. Or that there was no horse to begin with.” Continue reading Climate Racket: The Cult Just Won’t Quit

Trump: “not one boat gets in”

Trump says Iran is pleading the US to stop its naval blockade

Trump has asked a crowd at General Motors in Michigan: “How good is our navy with a blockade?”

Referring to the US naval blockade on Iran, he said that: “Not one boat gets in”.

He added that Iran is saying: “Please, please, no blockade”.

  • US President Donald Trump says “we are having good talks” with Iran but that he is not interested in prolonged negotiations. Trump also again denies that the United States is low on munitions.
  • Iran’s top joint military command says that it will view any attempt by the US to implement its “illegal” maritime blockade as an escalation of the regional conflict.
  • Iran says the US is “stuck and struggling” after five months of war it began under the influence of Israel and will “inevitably pay the price”.

Iran’s health minister says 60 killed, 670 injured in recent US attacks

Mohammad Reza Zafarghandi said that 60 Iranian citizens were killed and about 670 injured in attacks by the United States in the south of the country, over a period of between 10 and 12 days, according to Iranian news agency reports.

The US is ‘winning big time’ with Iran, Trump says

More from Trump’s speech in Michigan:

The president says he is making the “largest ever investment in the United States armed forces”, adding that the US has the strongest military in the world and that he is using it now.

“We’re winning big time with the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he said, adding, “We’re ensuring that they’re never having a nuclear weapon.”

“”If you understood the power of the nuclear weapons, you’d understand exactly what I was saying.”

Trump says Iran has been “the bully of the Middle East” for 47 to 50 years.

He said that US President Barack Obama thought it was possible to bribe Iran, but that “you can’t bribe them, you gotta beat them, and we’re beating the hell out of them”.

“We’ll see how it turns out,” he added. “Right now there are very friendly negotiations going on.”

 Iran is Exploiting UK’s Small Boats Crisis to Smuggle Intelligent Agents Into Britain

The Mullahs Fear Women Most

Why Iran’s Female Resistance Will Defeat Tyranny

For forty-seven years, Iran’s ruling mullahs have pursued a relentless campaign to subjugate half their own population. Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini hijacked the 1979 revolution, misogyny has served as one of the cornerstones of the Islamic Republic. Every law, every decree and every instrument of repression has sought to reduce women to obedient subjects, stripped of equality, dignity and freedom.

Yet the clerical regime has committed one fatal miscalculation. Its greatest victims have become its greatest adversaries. Today, Iranian women lead the struggle for democratic change. Their courage has shaken one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships, exposing the moral bankruptcy of a regime whose survival depends upon fear, violence and systematic discrimination. From the very beginning, the mullahs understood that controlling women meant controlling society. The compulsory hijab became far more than a dress code. It evolved into a political weapon, a daily reminder that every woman’s body, voice and future belonged to the state rather than herself.

Iran: ‘Former Supreme Leader Ordered Us to Negotiate’

Tankers and cargo vessels in the Gulf of Oman

Houthis and Saudi Arabia exchange fire as US-Iran war intensifies

The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed its “condemnation and strong denunciation” of the Houthi attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

  • Saudi Arabia launches strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-held city of Hodeidah in the latest escalation during the regional war between the United States and Iran.
  • President Donald Trump says dialogue between Washington and Tehran continues and a threatened “massive” attack may be unnecessary, although the US remains “locked and loaded”.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran does not fear threats or succumb to pressure.
  • Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia has claimed that “almost all” US military infrastructure in Iraq’s Erbil has been destroyed during recent attacks by the IRGC, he told Iranian state television, as reported by Anadolu Agency.
  • The Houthis have condemned those attacks and claimed air defences “intercepted enemy aircraft”.
  • The IRGC naval forces stopped four vessels in the Strait of Hormuz over the past 24 hours after firing warning shots, Iranian state television has reported.

A public rift has emerged between Iran’s government and state television over how to portray the state of war and negotiations with the United States, as mediators try to nudge both countries towards diplomacy.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, centre right, and Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, centre left, attend a farewell ceremony for Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for international delegates at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosalla in Tehran, Iran, July 3, 2026

Former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly said there would be no negotiations with Washington – but privately had given his approval.

“We went to the dear leader, explained the situation, and asked him what to do since he had said the ‘no war, no peace’ conditions are bad for the country,” the president said. “He ordered us to go negotiate. We started the talks based on his order.”

‘Military action alone’ won’t change Iran’s perspective

Iran has “no perfect choices or even good ones”, according to Michael Mulroy, former US deputy assistant secretary of defence for the Middle East and a CIA paramilitary operations officer.

However, if Iran can sell energy, then the US is “not going to be able to isolate them to the point where they change their perspective on a new agreement that’s more conducive to the United States”, he told Al Jazeera.

“So I think we need to build an international coalition to identify how we’re doing this: sanctions, secondary sanctions, freezing assets, the IRGC’s global infrastructure – all these things need to happen”, he said, adding “they probably won’t happen fast enough for the White House’s perspective, but they do need to happen because it’s clear that just military action alone is not changing that perspective”.

“From the US perspective, it needs several things to happen for this not to be considered a strategic failure; they need the Strait of Hormuz to be open, completely open and they need a new nuclear agreement that guarantees Iran doesn’t get a nuclear weapon, and we’re pretty far from that.”

  • Iran summons Ukraine’s diplomats after Kyiv bombs an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea, killing at least one sailor and wounding another.
  • Ukraine says it was targeting Russian vessels carrying Iran-linked military cargo, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia is assisting Iran in its military campaign in the Middle East.
  • Yemen’s Houthis launch missile and drone attacks on Saudi Aramco oil facilities in Jizan and Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, in retaliation for Saudi-led coalition strikes on Hodeidah port and Kamaran Island.
  • Trump has ordered the US military to set aside plans to attack Iran, according to US media, amid concerns the conflict could “dangerously drain” air defence munitions stocks.
  • Kuwait’s ambassador to the US had denied a Wall Street Journal report that claimed the Gulf state had sent fighter jets to attack Iran.

Iran War: Trump sez US is “locked and loaded”

Speaking with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump confirmed that “We are talking to them.”

“I think they’re getting more and more serious as the days go by, for maybe the obvious reason, but we are talking to them right now,” the president continued. 

“I think they are being by far the most serious that we’ve seen. But that doesn’t mean we get there,” Trump added.

The 13th consecutive night of strikes rained down on Iran early Friday, with the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) reporting that they targeted “military command centers, drone facilities, communications networks, and maritime capabilities.”

The latest round of attacks came as Trump said he was weighing a “massive attack bigger than anything before,” while Tehran rejected another ceasefire proposal, Breitbart News reported.

Trump: Iran Talks Getting ‘More Serious,’ but Not Worried About Rushing Peace Deal Before Midterms

  • Saudi Arabia launches strikes on Yemen’s Houthi-held city of Hodeidah in the latest escalation during the regional war between the United States and Iran.
  • President Donald Trump says dialogue between Washington and Tehran continues and a threatened “massive” attack may be unnecessary, although the US remains “locked and loaded”.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran does not fear threats or succumb to pressure.
  • Erbil airport reopens after a drone crashed near the facility following a drone attack on the city. Iran’s army says it has attacked Al-Azraq US Airbase in Jordan. Sirens sound in Bahrain as both the kingdom and Kuwait say they have intercepted Iranian missiles.
  • The US Central Command says it has concluded air strikes against Iran for the 13th consecutive night, with Iranian media reporting blasts in several cities, including Khorramabad, Jask, Ahvaz, Bandar Abbas, as well as Qeshm Island.
  • A US missile strike near Ahvaz left four people dead and five injured, while additional strikes on Khorramabad and the port city of Bandar Abbas resulted in two injuries at each site, according to Iranian media.
  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that “mindless aggression” will only see Trump pay a “heavier price” for a deal to end the war.

Mamdani

Mamdani just went on camera and counted dead Hamas terrorists as innocent victims of the Gaza war.

Read that again.

The mayor of New York City is publicly mourning terrorists who invaded Israel, raped women, burned families alive, kidnapped children, and have repeatedly tried to murder Jews in this city and around the world.

He doesn’t distinguish between civilians and Hamas because he doesn’t want to. To him, a dead Hamas murderer is one more victim of “the Jews.”

Millions of New Yorkers voted for this man.

Mayor Mamdani spent the week inflaming anger toward Israel and threatening to arrest PM Netanyahu if he arrived in New York.
TODAY, a visibly Jewish man leaving synagogue was stabbed in broad daylight.
Now the sly jihadist from Uganda will tell us he’s “shocked” and “saddened” and “there’s no place for hate in NYC”…unless, of course, he’s the one dishing the hatred while Jews are left to bear the consequences.

So apparently… Senator John Fetterman made this statement recently while criticising New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for threatening to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and focusing on foreign policy attacks against Israel instead of fixing city problems like potholes and homelessness.
Fetterman pointed out that the mayor only criticises Netanyahu but stays silent on Iran and Hezbollah and noted Iran’s history of killing tens of thousands of its own people during protests for democracy. #nyc #politic #news
.

Dr. Maalouf:

I used to think Zohran Mamdani was a ‘cultural Muslim’ who didn’t really care much about religion, and was just a third-worldist using his Islamic background for identity politics and votes. I was wrong.

It is becoming increasingly more obvious by the day that he’s actually an extremely radicalized Shia Muslim practicing taqiya all along.

Remember a couple months ago when relatives of Iranian Regime officials were arrested across America? They were all pretending to live secular lives, the women even wore provocative clothing. They were all practicing taqiya.

While all Islamic sects allow you to lie in order to advance Islam, this is even stronger in Shia Islam. You can live a completely different life.

Well, I believe this is the same situation. Zohran Mamdani is not only a Muslim, he’s a Twelver Shia Muslim. He belongs to the exact same sect as the Islamic Regime in Iran, Hezbollah, and Houthis.

His ‘progressive’ persona is all an act. The only thing he cares about is advancing Islam. This is why he pretends to care about the LGBT and other useful idiots. Taqiya allows him to do that.

Just like during the Islamic revolution in Iran, when the Muslims and leftists were allies, and we all know how that ended for the leftists when the Muslims got to power.

This man is a monster. Continue reading Mamdani

Trump warns of unprecedented ‘massive attack’ on Iran

The US-Israeli war on Iran has triggered a global energy crisis

U.S. VOWS TO PUNISH IRAN AFTER HOUTHIS STRIKE TANKERS

  • Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait have reported retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Iran after a 12th consecutive day of US strikes, including an attack on Kuwait’s Al-Abdali border crossing with Iraq.
  • US President Trump says he is considering a “massive attack” on Iran, “bigger than ever before”, and that he is close to making a decision.
  • US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking on the sidelines of the ASEAN conference in Manila, says Iran is “begging for a deal” but are not ready to keep to one.
  • Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says a tanker is ablaze in the Strait of Hormuz, while Yemen’s Houthis also claim missile and drone strikes on two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.
Houthi supporters hold a rally in Sanaa, Yemen, Friday, July 17, 2026, against the Saudi-led coalition. Banner in Arabic reads, “All Saudi oil facilities are targets to our missiles and drones.”

Trump: US will use Iranian money in its ‘possession’ to pay for damage to ships, cargo

The US president says on his Truth Social platform that, from now on, “Any and all damages done to Ships, Cargo, or anything related thereto, will be paid for by Iranian Money that the United States has in its possession, and controls”.

“These damages may be very substantial but, nevertheless, this is the fair and equitable thing to do”, Trump added.

Tehran has nearly $100bn in assets frozen by other countries and beyond its control.

 

China Demands Middle East Parties ‘Remain Calm’ as Houthis Threaten Its Oil Tankers

The Chinese Communist Party has historically supported Iranian interests in the Middle East and Iranian terrorist proxies such as Hamas. Communist leaders, including genocidal dictator Xi Jinping, have maintained a marked distance from Iran during the current conflict with the United States, however, repeatedly demanding that all sides of the war respect freedom of navigation in and around the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) have blockaded on and off since March. China is heavily dependent on the Middle East for its oil and other fossil fuel supplies, placing it in an especially vulnerable position despite not being an active combatant in the conflict.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry pronounced Beijing “deeply concerned” on Thursday over the ongoing war between Iran and its proxies and the United States in the Middle East, demanding all parties “remain calm.”

Iran Defiant:

Iran’s chief negotiator and parliament speaker has mocked the US military strategy aimed at degrading Tehran’s ability to control the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting it has backfired.

US State Department tells citizens in Middle East to prepare for potential flight cancellations due to Iran war

The US State Department has issued an advisory urging US citizens in West Asia to be prepared for emergency travel situations due to potential flight cancellations and disruptions to air travel as a result of the Iran war.

This warning comes amid President Trump’s latest threat to carry out a “massive attack” on Iran.

Iran: Negotiator Ghalibaf says war will end or engulf region

Worldwide Caution:

Due to heightened tensions in the Middle East, the security environment remains complex with the potential for unforeseen escalation. Americans currently in the Middle East should exercise caution and heightened vigilance and should be prepared for flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures, and potential travel disruptions. Some airlines in the region have postponed resumption of earlier flight schedules; others have cancelled some routes.
