Iran’s Revolutionary Guards attacked three cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the regime’s state television, despite a ceasefire in the area. Two of the ships came under fire on Wednesday morning, with the Revolutionary Guard claiming that the vessels MSC Francesca and the Epaminondas were now in their custody, the Associated Press reported. A third ship, the Euphoria, was also hit with gunfire and later “stranded” on Iran’s coast, according to the semiofficial Nour News, Fars, and Mehr agencies. The ships’ owners could not be immediately be reached by the AP. The purported attacks came amid a delicate ceasefire in the Middle East, but peace talks between U.S. and Iranian delegations have been delayed. Vice President JD Vance was set to fly to Pakistan on Tuesday to begin another round of negotiations with Iran, but his flight was put on hold, with Iran claiming it had not yet agreed to talks. Also on Tuesday, President Donald Trump insisted Iran wanted to open the strait to “save face.” “Iran doesn’t want the Strait of Hormuz closed, they want it open so they can make $500 Million Dollars a day (which is, therefore, what they are losing if it is closed!),” Trump posted on Truth Social late Tuesday night. “They only say they want it closed because I have it totally BLOCKADED (CLOSED!), so they merely want to ‘save face.’ People approached me four days ago, saying, ‘Sir, Iran wants to open up the Strait, immediately.’ But if we do that, there can never be a Deal with Iran, unless we blow up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!” Hours later, Trump followed up, claiming that the regime was suffering financially. “Iran is collapsing financially! They want the Strait of Hormuz opened immediately- Starving for cash!” the president posted. “Losing 500 Million Dollars a day. Military and Police complaining that they are not getting paid. SOS!!!” Watch above via Fox News.The post Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Attacks 3 Ships in Strait of Hormuz, State TV Reports first appeared on Mediaite.

Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough warned Republicans that “blowback” to President Donald Trump’s “gut instinct” decisions would always hurt their party, whether it’s his redistricting fight or the Iran war. The comments came the day after Virginia voters approved a redistricting measure that could bolster Democrats’ efforts to win control of the narrowly divided House ahead of this year’s midterm elections. Scarborough began Wednesday morning’s show by pointing to a reaction on X by former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, who warned Republicans that the Democratic redistricting push was “avoidable and foreseeable.” Predicting more of the same from Democrats, the host said that once the president put the idea out there to redistrict, “you’ve got to start planning for their response to your great idea.” “That’s what’s happened here,” he continued. “The Democrats are going to end up, you know, at least doing as well in redistricting.” He added: “And then here comes the real rub for Republicans, you cut these districts too close, like they’re thinking about now doing in the state of Florida… Mark my words, Florida, you cut these districts too close in an election, that’s a bit of a landslide – like this year’s probably going to be – then suddenly you take a really bad situation and make it much, much worse. So instead of losing 20 seats, you might lose 35 or 40 seats because the margins have been trimmed down to supposedly help one party or the other.” “And anybody that dares complain about what the Democrats are doing have to remember it’s all in response to something that was completely avoidable,” he said. Acknowledging that some Republicans had been pushing back on Trump’s ideas, Scarbrough later unloaded on a litany of the president’s “gut instinct” decisions he said were coming back to bear on the party: There’s so many things that, again, Donald Trump has suggested that the Senate does and that you’ve had [John] Thune and others pushing back, not because they wouldn’t like that short term gain, but they know the long term consequences are bad. It’s like attacking the pope. They’re attacking the pope now. Maybe that feels good on Easter morning, or whenever the president decides he’s going to attack the pope, but why? That’s not going to work out well for you. It’s bad. I don’t know why that would feel good for… [TheTopNews] Read More.34 mins ago - ‘I’ve Seen Too Much’: Congressman Tim Burchett Says He Knows Aliens Exist ...Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told Piers Morgan on Tuesday that he’s certain aliens exist because he had seen “too much,” including “videos” and “pictures” shown to him by government officials. During an interview with Burchett on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan said, “Let me start with a very direct question. Do you believe aliens exist?” “Yes, sir. I do,” replied Burchett, before arguing that several passages from the Bible were evidence of ancient astronauts. “We’ve seen too much. I’ve seen too much. Not myself personally, but out when I’ve been briefed by government officials. Video, pictures. Some of the best-trained pilots in the world have described having close collisions with some sort of aircraft or apparatus, and so I think it’s time that they come clean.” He continued, “I don’t know if it’s about little green men or flying saucers, Mr. Morgan, but I do think it’s about disclosure, it’s about transparency, and as a member of the media, you should be all for that regardless. I just want to know what we’re spending tens of millions of dollars on.” After Morgan asked Burchett whether he had “seen any cold, hard, irrefutable factual evidence to support alien life,” the congressman responded, “Well, unless dozens of federal authorities are lying to me and pilots are lying to me, and the pictures and videos and things they’ve shown me are complete fabrications, and if they are, then I guess I haven’t. But have I seen a craft or anything flying over me that was unidentifiable? No sir, I have not personally.” “Some of the stuff I’ve heard is pretty troubling. It’s very troubling,” he continued. “To think that we just deny their existence and then we have aircraft, half a billion dollar aircraft with some highly trained professionals on it that are put into harm’s way, and we’ve had to scrub missions before because something’s out there and the Pentagon claims that they have no knowledge of it. And it’s not going to be ours, sir, because if it was ours, we wouldn’t risk those lives, and we value life.” Morgan questioned, “You obviously have a lot of information which could be very explosive, and there are people clearly you believe who don’t want this information out there. Do you ever fear for your safety? Have you had any threats telling you to shut up?” “Well, I constantly have death threats on my… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
- John Kerry Swipes at Trump: US Better Off if ‘Neither Iran Nor Kash Patel Are ...Former Obama Secretary of State and diplomat John Kerry mocked President Donald Trump’s war with Iran and a crisis enveloping his FBI director, Tuesday, by warning that the U.S. was better off if “neither Iran nor Kash Patel are getting bombed.” The jabs came after Patel held a presser to deny reporting by The Atlantic that he had been caught drunk on the job and Trump’s claim on Truth Social insisting that “The DEAL” his administration was making with Iran would “be FAR BETTER” than former President Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Kerry, a key architect of Obama’s deal, which Trump abandoned during his first term, appeared on The Late Show to throw digs at the president’s war with Iran. The former secretary of state warned host Stephen Colbert that the president had made war “inevitable” by giving Iran “no freedom to move in a different direction,” while criticizing Trump’s blockade on the Strait of Hormuz and threats of more bombing. “Are those the best ways to negotiate? In other words, if you start, as I said before, if you start with an act of war, is that the best way to start a peace talk?” Colbert asked. “No, obviously not,” Kerry scoffed, before jabbing: “No, I think what he’s doing now is challenging the validity of his FIFA World Peace Prize.” As the audience laughed, the host mockingly scolded, “Don’t even joke about that. That is sacred, sir. That is sacred.” “But I mean, the bottom line, look, it’s a great thing if we are able to– it’s a good thing for America if neither Iran nor Kash Patel are getting bombed,” Kerry rounded again, to more applause and laughter. At the end of the interview, Colbert focused on Trump’s interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box on Wednesday morning, where the president suggested that he would have won the Vietnam War in a short period of time. Addressing Kerry as a veteran of that war, which Trump did not serve in – having avoided the military draft with a medical deferment for bone spurs – Colbert asked, “Don’t you find that ironic? That the one guy who could have won the war couldn’t go because he had bone spurs?” Circling back on Trump’s now-deleted AI-generated Jesus meme that Trump posted last week, Kerry replied, “You showed a very telling photograph there, a photograph of Donald Trump as Jesus.… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago

AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) blamed President Donald Trump for a Democratic victory in Virginia on Tuesday, claiming that the president’s “betrayals” of parts of the MAGA movement would have “devastating consequences in the midterms.” Voters in Virginia voted to narrowly approved a mid-decade redistricting map that could give Democrats an electoral boost in ten out of eleven of the state’s House districts. The constitutional amendment allows the Democratic-controlled state legislature to implement a new districting plan without the approval of Virginia’s redistricting commission. Greene claimed Republicans had fallen out of favor with the “once red state” due to Trump’s and the GOP’s failure to deliver on their promises. “Virginia just voted to redraw House district lines, taking their state from 6D-5R to 10D-1R, eliminating 4 Republican seats just by redrawing the map,” she wrote on X. “A once red state is turning into one of the bluest states because people don’t want to support Republicans now.” She continued, calling out the president’s war with Iran, the release of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, and money’s role in the Republican Party as a few key causes for “a revolt on the right”: Trump betraying the America First wing of MAGA is going to have devastating consequences in the midterms. I’ve been warning of this all along. No more foreign wars and regime change (he started war in Iran), lowering inflation and cost of living (his war is increasing inflation and gas and diesel and it’s just starting), release the Epstein files (he fought it and called it a hoax) are some of the top issues that has caused a revolt on the right and a mass exodus of America First Trump voters. Add on the betrayals to the MAHA wing and it gets even worse. But it’s not just Trump, it’s the Republicans in the House and Senate too. They love the donations and the parties and praise they get from the big donors and lobbyists representing the big corporations. There wont be accountability. They will not drain the swamp. And Trump is not your retribution. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but open your eyes and look at the facts and take note of their actions. Stop lapping up their meaningless words. Our loved military is once again fighting in the Middle East, your money is paying for Israel’s war, and once again people… [TheTopNews] Read More.9 hours ago
