Monday morning #headlines recap

The "ceasefire" stopped pretending: overnight the US struck Iranian radar at Goruk and Qeshm and a telecom tower at Sirik, and Iran answered with a ballistic missile on a US base in Kuwait — 4 US service members and 3 contractors wounded.

BBC Verify: Iran has damaged ≥20 US military sites across 8 countries since the war began — air defenses, AWACS, fuel depots, comms — "billions" in damage, more extensive than the Pentagon admits.

F-15E reportedly downed by a Chinese shoulder-fired missile over Iran; the deeper worry is Chinese radars detecting non-stealth (and stealth) aircraft.

Iran's President Pezeshkian submits his resignation, saying the IRGC has taken over and the government is excluded from decisions. Iranian state-aligned voices call the framing "fake news."

Targeted assassination of an IRGC general in Andisheh, Tehran — first inside Iran since the April ceasefire.

Israel seized Crusader-era Beaufort Castle — "deepest plunge into Lebanon in decades" — but multiple sources call it an empty PR stunt: <4km from the border, flag planted, troops pulled back, area still being bombed hours later. Separately, an IDF officer was assassinated in Beersheba. Finally, Hezbollah FPV drones struck an Iron Dome launcher at Biranit — the 18th launcher hit this war. Take your good news where you can find it.

Netanyahu’s response to recent losses: ordered expansion across Syria, Gaza and Lebanon. 157 southern villages under evacuation orders. Keep stretching jew, the US is incapable of saving your ass when you overextend.

NDAA provision to formally integrate the US military with the IDF — classified weapons/intel access with no presidential vote, flagged as unprecedented. Simply codifying that which is already standard operating procedure.

Financial response to war happenings: markets, naturally, shrugged: the Shiller PE is within 3.5% of the dot-com record, oil is bid but paper stays capped, and Trump ordered the first physical Fort Knox audit in 70 years. Didn’t we get this cock and bull story from Trump in his first presidency?

Stories continue to surface about spooks tracking Gabbard. Meanwhile Tulsi pushes for declassification of GOYBEAM information before her departure. Sadly she’ll never reach the level of DGAF to just dump the info on the internet… she has too much to lose like everyone else I guess, even after all the surveillance she’s endured.

George Soros is funding data centers in the United States while also funding some groups protesting against them. Multiple pointing Spiderman characters meme goes here.

More evidence surfaces that hot vaccine batches were sent to areas with more “troublemakers”.

Lauren Boebert tired of other congressional THOTS getting all the attention, decides to jump on the UFO bandwagon. I debated whether or not to mention the so-called “forced breeding” between humans and aliens for fear of setting off a fediverse stampede.

Cenk Uygur tries to board a flight for London, discovers he’s been banned from the UK for criticizing Israel. I have no regard for him, but I like that he’s now contributing to the noticing.

Our old friend Daniel Concannon notices the disparity between White and brown conviction rates in the UK based on jurors’ race: “What was once a jury of your peers is now a jury of racial aliens who hate you for being White.”

Trump administration deported 21,000 to places US calls too dangerous to visit. Satisfying if true…

Long effortpoast from Matt Forney on how the Trump administration has systematically cut immigrants off from jobs and gibs to force them to leave the country. Moar pls

Ending with another good news story… UN facing insolvency by mid-2026 as US and China both withhold payments. Good. It’s time to bust up this expensive club funded by the US for the enjoyment of foreign diplomatic leeches.

Remember folks… this ride is going to go on for a while, so buckle up…
