An Israeli pilot in a U.S. built F-35 stealth fighter took out a manned Russian-made Iranian fighter jet over Tehran early Wednesday, reportedly a historic “world first” during Operation Epic Fury. An Israeli F-35 ‘Adir’ fighter jet, using the jet’s Hebrew name that translates to “Mighty One,” downed a Russian-made Yak-130 in air-to-air combat, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced on X. “This is the first shootdown in history of a manned fighter aircraft by an F-35 ‘Adir’ fighter jet,” the IDF said. Until now, in the assault on Iran the F-35 jets, a product of the U.S. defense giant…
Sean Gamble, the CEO of Cinemark, expressed optimism of Paramount winning the bidding war to purchase Warner Bros. Discovery, saying it could be great for movie theaters. Gamble shared his views on the bidding war fallout when during a session with the Morgan Stanley Investors Conference. “Both Paramount and Warner Bros. have been longstanding supporters of theatrical exhibition and great partners for Cinemark,” Gamble said. “Based on their actions over many, many years, that’s a real positive. There clearly has been a lean of those organizations to ramp up more into the space.” Gamble said the movie theater business would also…
A large deployment of Mexican military and National Guard forces took to the streets of Jalisco to guard the wake and funeral of one of the country’s most dangerous drug lords, Ruben Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, the leader of the terrorist organization Cartel Jalisco New Generation.

In addition to a large number of attendees, including some believed to be wanted fugitives, military forces remained on the outer…
President Donald Trump appears to be leaning toward endorsing Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate primary, issuing a stark warning to state Attorney General Ken Paxton in an interview with POLITICO. The president, in a brief phone conversation Thursday morning, said an endorsement will be “made pretty soon” before addressing Paxton, who recently said he would not drop out of the race even if Trump endorses Cornyn. “Well, that’s bad for him to say,” Trump said. “That is bad for him. So maybe, maybe that leads me to go the other direction.” Trump had previously stated he would…
Dimitri Simes talks to RT about nuclear deterrence, Trump’s America, and why partnership between Moscow and Washington remains limited by design In an era when nuclear deterrence is no longer an abstract theory and the relationship between the US and Russia increasingly resembles a game without rules, it is important to hear the opinion of people who know the political systems of both countries inside out. Dimitri Simes is one of the few political analysts whose very life forms a bridge between the two superpowers. Born in Moscow, he later emigrated to the United States and spent decades working within the…
The Cuban communist regime on Tuesday announced that its Attorney General’s Office is prosecuting the six individuals arrested aboard a speedboat that allegedly sought to plot against the regime. Cuban authorities informed last week that they had allegedly intercepted a Florida-registered speedboat with ten armed men on board near its coasts, who allegedly opened fire at Cuban officials, leading to a shootout that resulted in the deaths of four of the men and the arrest of six others. At press time, the Cuban regime has not disclosed further details of the alleged shootout but branded the men as “terrorists” who…
Exiled Iranian designer and activist Leila Farahbakhsh over the weekend confronted a purported “pacifist” leftist anti-U.S. rally in Florence, Italy, against the United States’ “Operation Epic Fury” — criticizing the Italian leftists for staying silent over the atrocities committed by the rogue regime against its own people. The United States on Saturday launched “Operation Epic Fury,” a military operation against the Iranian regime alongside the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). In the first hours of the operation, U.S. and Israeli strikes targeted Iran’s missile assets and other high profile targets, including much of the regime’s leadership, leading to several deaths among the regime’s…
Winston Churchill’s Fulton address was a signal for the Iron Curtain to drop, and for nukes to almost drop as well Eighty years ago, on March 5, 1946, one of the most famous leaders of World War Two delivered a fairly short but stern message which helped lock humanity into a future of open-ended and high-risk Cold War. That was the essence of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s Fulton Speech (if we name it after the small midwestern US college town where he gave it), also known as the Iron Curtain Speech (after its key claim).A massive political, ideological,…
Qatar said on Tuesday it has disrupted two sleeper cells working for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and arrested ten operatives tasked with surveillance and sabotage. “During interrogation, the suspects admitted their affiliation with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and that they had been tasked with espionage missions and sabotage activities,” reported the state-run Qatar News Agency (QNA). QNA said seven of the suspects in custody were assigned to conduct surveillance on “vital and military facilities,” while the other three were supposed to carry out sabotage operations. The suspects reportedly had information about sensitive facilities in their possession when they…
In just a few years, thanks to Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D-CA) greedy, unnecessary, and punitive environmental regulations, the former Golden State has lost two refineries. Chevron skedaddled to Houston in 2024. Valero is taking a one billion dollar hit to get the hell out by next year. Already, Democrat-run California is forced to import some 40 percent of its oil from the Bahamas. Why does this matter? What does it have to do with cost? It’s pretty simple… The further oil must be transported, the more cost is involved, and that cost is ultimately paid by the everyday consumer in…
