CALL TO ARMS: President Trump ponders Iranian people’s resolve to overthrow regime.

The U.S. military's Central Command said it struck Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defences, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites on Tuesday. Iranian media reported hits on multiple targets near the Strait of Hormuz — the narrow waterway where Tehran has threatened tankers attempting to pass without its permission.

"Last night was like the end of the world," Mahmoud, 38, a municipal worker in Sirik County along the strait, told Reuters by telephone, describing the attacks on the area which includes the city where the wedding was reported to have been hit. 

U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. hit Iran "very hard" and that Iran only responded with a "love tap."

"It was a very heavy attack last night, and we're prepared to do another one any ​time we want," Trump told reporters at the White House. 

Iran struck what it said were U.S. assets in Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait and Iraq, and said its aim was now to drive U.S. forces out of the vast network of military bases they have maintained for decades across the Middle East.

I just BUSTED evil Google / YouTube again unfairly censoring my comment. They are doing this to many Republicans and Conservatives.

 

Below see the screen shot with my comment missing. 

I think that Google / YouTube is unfairly censoring Republicans and Conversatives. It is a form of illegal election interference. 

Evil Google wants to control what you think, far left Communist Democrats are NEVER censored like I am.

FREEZES: Treasury targets IRGC assets and promises new bank sanctions.

WHAT TO KNOW

• U.S. Central Command said American forces completed a wave of strikes against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targets across Iran, including air defense sites, radar systems, maritime assets, mine-laying capabilities and communications sites.

• CENTCOM said the operation followed "recent attempted attacks by the IRGC against commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and against American service members."

• Iran responded by launching missiles and drones, according to Iranian semiofficial media.

• A senior U.S. official told Fox News that all American personnel are accounted for, the U.S. intercepted the majority of Iranian missiles and no major damage has been reported at U.S. bases in the Middle East.

  
  

“We will not let Communist Party of China define who we are,” says Taiwan’s Vice President Hsiao Bi-Khim, who has been sanctioned by Beijing and labeled a “separatist.”

 

BREAKING: CENTCOM launches fresh round of STRIKES against Iran.

 “If they do respond, they’ll be hit much harder,” USA President Trump told Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst.

“This is a very big hit today. If it goes a third time, they’re going to be totally wiped out as a country.”

The threat came as tensions continue to escalate between Washington and Tehran following renewed exchanges of fire and U.S. strikes on Iranian military positions.

Iran has also threatened to respond militarily if the United States intensifies what Iranian officials describe as a siege against the country. Two oil tankers were reportedly struck near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this week, raising concerns about further disruptions to global energy shipments.

NEW DETAILS: India holds trade talks with Iran despite US warning.

When you think you cannot accomplish something, please think about George Washington. When you read about what he did, most people think he accomplished the impossible.

Despite having little experience in commanding large, conventional military forces, Washington’s strong leadership presence and fortitude held the American military together long enough to secure victory at Yorktown and independence for his new nation.

Unlike the successful Siege of Boston, the efforts to defend the city of New York ended in near disaster for the Continental Army and the cause of independence.
In what proved to be the largest battle of the Revolutionary War in terms of total combatants, Washington’s forces on August 22, 1776, were flanked out of their positions atop the Gowanus Heights (part of today’s modern Brooklyn) and soundly defeated by William Howe's roughly 20,000 man force on Long Island.

It was during these dark days at the close of 1776 that Thomas Paine’s words from the recently published American Crisis rang most true:

“These are the times that try men’s souls…the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

New Study Shows That The Universe Might Be A Rotating Black Hole

Have you ever considered that everything you know—the planets, stars, galaxies, and even you—might actually exist inside an enormous black hole? 

What if the universe we call home is merely the interior of a cosmic leviathan, swallowing light from another reality we can never directly observe? For decades, black holes have captured our imagination as cosmic monsters devouring everything in their path, where even light cannot escape their gravitational clutches. 

Recent discoveries are forcing scientists to consider an extraordinary possibility: that our entire universe might itself be a black hole. This isn't science fiction, it's a serious scientific hypothesis with growing evidence behind it.

The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, based on current measurements and its expansion since the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. The total universe's size is unknown; it could be finite, possibly 7 trillion light-years across or much larger, or even infinite. These estimates come from cosmic inflation models, but no direct evidence confirms the total size. 

The Hubble tension, a debate over the universe's expansion rate, adds uncertainty but doesn't change the observable universe's size. Large structures like the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, spanning 10 billion light-years, fit within the observable universe. Future observations may clarify the total size.

Is the edge of our universe an event horizon on a black hole in some other universe?
