Trump threatened to ‘blow up’ Oman — why the tiny Gulf kingdom is caught between DC and Iran
President Donald Trump’s threat to “blow up” Oman if the Gulf kingdom didn’t “behave” has exposed a rare rupture with one of Washington’s most valuable Middle East partners — a country that has spent decades quietly serving as America’s backchannel to Iran.
“The strait’s gotta be open to everybody,” the president said during a Cabinet meeting Wednesday. “It’s international waters. Nobody’s going to control it. We’re going to watch over it. We’ll watch over it, but nobody’s going to control it. That’s part of the negotiation that we have. They would like to control it; nobody’s going to control it. It’s international waters. And Oman will behave just like everybody else, or we’ll have to blow ’em up. They understand that. They’ll be fine.”
The remark came amid a dispute over the future of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes. The Trump administration has strongly opposed reported discussions involving Iran and Oman over a potential tolling system or joint management arrangement for the strait, arguing such a move would threaten freedom of navigation and give Tehran greater influence over one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
The comments reflected a broader dispute over how far Oman should go in its efforts to engage Iran as the two countries discuss proposals related to the future management of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important shipping routes.
The Omani embassy and the White House could not be reached for comment on the underlying tensions or negotiations on the Strait of Hormuz.
Situated on the southeastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, Oman occupies the southern side of the Strait of Hormuz and has long pursued a foreign policy distinct from many of its Gulf neighbors.
While maintaining close security ties with the U.S., Muscat also has preserved relations with Iran, allowing it to serve as one of the region’s key intermediaries. Oman helped facilitate secret U.S.–Iran talks that paved the way for nuclear negotiations, has repeatedly served as a diplomatic channel between Washington and Tehran and has played a role in negotiations involving Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
“Oman’s role as the Switzerland of the Middle East has advanced U.S. interests,” April Alley, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute, told Fox News Digital.
“They have facilitated numerous rounds of talks between U.S. and Iranians,” she said. “They were also able to broker a truce between the US and the Houthis in the Red Sea. Their neutrality allows them to be quiet facilitators when adversaries are ready to talk.”

If you haven’t kept up on West Coast politics, a virtual earthquake is taking place in Californina. The Fake News Media is not giving ink to the Llbtard Socialists, To fill you in, the Mayor of LA, the infamous Karen Bass, is getting slapped around by a political newcomer by the name of Spencer Pratt. Remember Karen Bass, she help spread the fire in Pacific Palisades; 17000 houses burned to the ground.
Spencer Pratt was one of the victims. Lost it all, now he is leading in the latest poll by 2%. Pratt, a pragmatist, has other ideas on how to run the city of Angels.Battered by the slowdown in the entertainment industry, still struggling to rebound from the pandemic. Homelessness, government efficiency and crime are issues. But for many, Los Angeles has become hopelessly unaffordable, which cast a shadow over so much. All of this is weight is on the shoulders of Karen Bass. Los Angelinos are fired up for change.
Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is running a surprisingly competitive, high-profile campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.

The race for governor is another “head to head” race into the stretch. The latest UC Berkeley-L.A. Times poll of likely voters has the three candidates at the top almost within the margin of error so anything could happen leading up to Election Day. The top two candidates will move on in the race.
There’s also some suspense in the race for California governor, though not as much as in L.A. According to new numbers from the Public Policy Institute of California, Democrat Xavier Becerra is leading the field at 23%, with Republican Steve Hilton coming in at 20%.
Across the land anarchists are confronting authority, either taunting them into a fight or outright pummeling them with rocks, bullets and more. This has to stop before it is too late. Authorities must take control of these situationa now. Anything less will lead to more attacks and a complete breakdown of law and order.
The predominant attacks are well coordinated by Neville Roy Singham. Singham, an American multi-millionaire and self-described socialist living in Shanghai, has been the focus of U.S. House and Senate investigations. He is accused of funneling millions of dollars into a “dark money” network of far-left organizations.
Singham’s father Archibald Singham was Sri Lankan. In his youth, Singham was a member of the League of Revolutionary Black Workers, a Black nationalist–Maoist group,
Watching the videos below will make any sensible law abiding American, BARF.
Get this, migrants who broke into the United States are now being supported by Americans who spread lies about their condition. These defenders are POS. The United States must bring in the Army to confront them with all necessary equipment. Our plan is to deliver the assests, not pepper spray, but bayonets and beat the living hell out of the protestors. We must teach these protestors a lesson in peacful protest, not anarchistic mob rule.
This is not a “one off” type of breakdown of ‘law and order’, it is outright anarchy, which if not neutralized today, will metastisized into something much grearter. Think of assassination of the President and members of the SOTUS; Senators and Congresssmen can also be targets. This is not beyond the realm of possibility. ANTIFA and their cohorts will not stop at nothing to bring about a violent revolution. Socialism is their number one objective, however, once in power they will become Autocrats. Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez, Hitler, Mao, Pol-pot are idolized. The desires of governors from New Jersey, Virginia, New York, California, Oregon, Illinois and Washingtonare to be like them.
There is one bottom line here, you know what it is!
The news is flooded with the arrests of the Somalian conspiratory criminal network, small fry operatives, but how about the masterminds, those who got away to Somalia, and the politicians, why aren’t they in the Iron Bar. We hear about the Somali who fled to Somalia with $200,000,000. America wants answers.
From what we know so far is that the Learing Center, the Restaurant, and autistic scammers bilked the system for Nine Billion Dollars ($9 billion) at a minimum. The United States of America needs to hunt the perpetrators down, where every they are.
Thirty Million Dollars disappeared, how is that possible. A forensic audit is mandatory. Find out where it went and how was it possible. Bounce her back to Africa, we have had it with her bullshit.
Imagine this fraud going after a reporter who was just doing her job. When asked about the massive discrepancy, Omar snapped: “I think you’re STUPID for asking me ANYTHING!I don’t have to tell you JACK SHIT!”
She is definitely a plant. She and her accomplices set the system up for her to get elected. Then, once she was in, passed legislation to fleece the system of tax dollars to the tune of billions.

HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) — Vice President JD Vance claimed Friday that Representative Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota Democrat, has committed immigration fraud.
He said during a podcast interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson that he has spoken with White House immigration advisor Stephen Miller about potential legal action against the congresswoman, who has denied the accusations.
“We’re trying to look at what the remedies are,” Vance said. “That’s the thing that we’re trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she’s committed immigration fraud, how do you go after her, how do you investigate her, how do you actually do the thing – how do you build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people?”
Omar was born in Mogadishu, Somalia, in October 1982. According to the biography posted on her own website, she lived there for around eight years before her family fled to a refugee camp in Kenya, moving to the United States four years later, and eventually settling in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis in 1997.
In a 2018 interview with the Intercept website’s “Deconstructed” podcast, Omar said she became a naturalized U.S. citizen before she turned 18 years old, explaining that “My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process.”
In the same interview, she said her family resettled in the U.S. in 1995. Since a would-be naturalized citizen must first live in the U.S. as a permanent resident for five years, 2000 would be the earliest year in which Omar’s father (and Omar herself) could become citizens. Since Omar was born in October 1982, she turned 18 in October 2000. So, based on the sequence of events presented by Omar, it appears she became a U.S. citizen at the age of 17, sometime between January and October 2000 —
Although Omar’s account makes sense, and we found no substantive dispute over it, we were unable to locate any official documentation that supports that version of events. We asked Omar’s spokesperson and district director to provide any official documentation that would confirm the date of her naturalization, but we received no such evidence.
The Congresswoman’s spokesperson reiterated that she became a U.S. citizen in 2000 and pointed out that an individual cannot be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives without demonstrating citizenship, but the spokesperson did not have Omar’s “personal government documents.”
Until and unless evidence of that nature becomes available to us, definitively establishing that Omar became a U.S. citizen in 2000 she has pull off one of the greatest cons in history.
Excerpts above taken from article by Dan MacGuill Published 16 July 2019
In the AP story, Omar’s replies to all this are those of the victim combined with overtones of the royal “we”:
“We choose not to further the narratives of those who would oppose us” Omar’s statement said, adding that she believes the claims are being made by people who want to stop a black, female Muslim from sitting in Congress.
The chronology of all this, briefly, follows:
1982 — Born in Somalia;
1991 — Went to refugee camp in Kenya;
1995 — Came to United States as a refugee, becoming a citizen at some later point;
2002 — Took out a marriage license to marry Ahmed Hirsi (AKA Ahmed Aden), but did not marry him except in a Muslim ceremony; they had two kids;
2008 — Parted from Hirsi; a Muslim divorce, not recorded, took place;
2009 — Married Ahmed Elmi; a marriage certificate exists;
2011 — Parted from Elmi, with a Muslim divorce;
2012 — Reunited with Hirsi and had a third child;
2017 — Formally divorced Elmi (after being elected to the legislature);
2018 — Married (re-married?) Hirsi and was nominated for Congress.
At the very least, a busy lady — one with a fondness for guys named Ahmed.
It is outrageous that her father got a job at the post office when so many of our citizens are unemployed. How did that happen? Secondly, she became a professional nutrition educator at the University of Minnesota. No doctorate here. Omar also wrote, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.
In November 2021, Republican Representative Lauren Boebert said she had shared an elevator with Omar, and that she and a Capitol Police officer both mistook Omar for a terrorist. Boebert referred to Omar as the “Jihad Squad”. Omar said that she had not shared an elevator with Boebert, that the story was made up, and that Boebert’s comments were “anti-Muslim bigotry”.
Omar’s campaign was the E Street Group’s biggest moneymaker.
The connection between Omar’s campaign and Mynett’s consulting firm was brought to national attention by her critics and opponents.
In response to the critics, Omar’s campaign terminated its contract with Mynett’s firm on November 17, 2020, saying the termination was to “make sure that anybody who is supporting our campaign with their time or financial support feels there is no perceived issue with that support.”
Over the years, Omar has faced criticisms of her marriage and claims that she married her brother for years.
Former President Donald Trump fanned the flames of those allegations in July 2019 saying “There’s a lot of talk about the fact that she was married to her brother. I know nothing about it.”
When Omar was seeking a state House seat in 2016, the conservative sites flagged a screenshot of a since deleted Instagram post that was allegedly uploaded by Elmi on June 12, 2012.
The caption of the photograph posted shortly after Omar gave birth to her third child identified Elmi as holding the baby girl, calling her his niece.
Democratic Rep. Al Green unseated by Rep. Christian Menefee in Texas primary with two incumbents
NBC News projects Menefee defeated Green after GOP-led redistricting efforts forced them to run for the same slice of Houston.
It’s over for Al Green, he can now go back to the hood and be the man he thinks he is. Sorry Al about the defeat. We will miss you getting kicked out of the State of the Union. Don’t cry for me Argentina.
The Iranians are similar to the venerable medicine man, selling elixir that in the end will kill you. In days past the Islamist peddled their rugs at the baazar, haggling over the sale. They perfected this technique until the buyer would finally acquiesce to the bazaar merchant’s price.
Our advice to Trump who has been around the block more than once, don’t be fooled by their chicanery. They are not to be trusted. “Verify then Trust” is our shiboleth. Reagan had it all wrong. Why would you “Trust then Verify” ?By then it is too late..
We have seen this shit show before, it always turns out the same. Lies lies and more lies. Broken agreements, more promises, and in the end the agreement falls apartand we are back to square one. No more waiting game.
Obliterate them now before it is too late. About time we finished the job.
Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, roped in John Cornyn in a high stakes Hook ‘m Horns rodeo. This was a show of Trump’s power in the Republican party.
PLANO, TX – President Donald Trump and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are the big winners in the Lone Star State’s bitter Republican Senate primary battle, which has spanned for more than a year and became the most expensive Senate primary in history.
Paxton, who was endorsed by Trump just one week ago, convincingly defeated longtime GOP Sen. John Cornyn in Tuesday’s runoff election for the Republican nomination.
Paxton now faces off against state Rep. James Talarico — a rising star in the Democratic Party — in the general election in a race that is among a handful that may decide if the Republicans hold their slim 53-47 majority in the Senate. Talarico, who topped progressive star Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a vocal Trump critic, in the March primary, is trying to become the first Democrat in nearly four decades to win a Senate election in Texas
Those of the Jewish persuasion have created a monster that has now turned against them. As you know by now, Jews as a whole vote 75-80% vote for Democrats. This was the outgrowth of WWI & WWII when Jews arrived from Europe due to antisemitism. In fact, Jews whole heartedly supported FDR, who was responsible the murder of Jews when he turned a blind-eye to the extermination camps.
How we got here. The Jewish Socialist labor Bund was formed in Vilnius in 1897. Bundists rejected Zionism, advocating instead for the improvement of Jewish life, culture, and civil rights in the specific countries where they already lived, rather than emigrating to Palestine. The Bund envisioned reconstituting the Russian Empire as a federal union of autonomous, socialist nations with equal rights for all minorities.
Suppression: In 1920, the Bund split; the left wing merged into the Russian Communist Party, while the right-wing leadership maintained its independent socialist identity until they were ultimately suppressed and imprisoned by the Bolshevik government.
In the 1860s, immigration from Europe of radical labor activists, particularly of German, Jewish, and Scandinavian backgrounds, led to the establishment of the International Workingmen’s Association in 1864 and the Socialist Labor Party of America in 1877.
During the 1870s, socialists of various tendencies actively participated in early American labor organizations and workers’ demands to improve working conditions, as well as to officially recognize and practically implement the basic labor rights. These grievances culminated in the 1886 Haymarket massacre in Chicago, which resulted in the death of eleven people. One of the consequences of this tragic event was the establishment of International Workers’ Day, which was proclaimed as a fundamental labor holiday. Apart from that, workers’ organizations and socialist parties worldwide made the establishment of an eight-hour workday their primary objective.
In 1901, multiple socialist parties merged to create the Socialist Party of America (SPA). In 1905,anarchists created the Industrial Workers of the World. The Socialist Party of America, led by its national chairman Eugene V. Debs (who was also the SPA’s candidate in the U.S. presidential elections), played a crucial role in igniting a widespread socialist opposition to World War I, which eventually led to the nationwide governmental repression collectively known as the First Red Scare. The Socialist Party declined in the 1920s, but the party nonetheless often ran Norman Thomas for president. In the 1930s, the Communist Party of the United States of America (CPUSA) played a significant role in the labor and racial struggles of that time. In the 1950s,
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a landmark U.S. labor and civil rights law that legally ended segregation in public places and banned employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Proposed by John F. Kennedy and signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 2, 1964, it is considered one of the most significant pieces of civil rights legislation in American history.
That brings us to today. Majority of Jews supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, in fact they were instrumental in the founding of the NAACP. However, as we have seen, Jews rose to power in many of the organization that supported the liberal paradigm. For instance the AFT and SEIU are led by either a Jewish or Black presidents. However, what has begun as a movement for justice has now turned into something else. These organizations no longer are at the forefront of Jewish support.
Colleges, Harvard, Columbia, Yale, UCLA and others have become the hotbed of Palestinian anarchists and rabble rousers. They have been joined by anti-Jewish groups such as BLM, Free Palestine, ANTIFA, and others. This movement came together after the Israeli Gaza Operation which was the outgrowth of October 7. A constrant flow of antisemitsm has waved over the country. As we have seen these anarchists will stop at nothing to murder Jews, destroy synagogues and businesses.
The country is out of control, gangs are now taking over cities. Running amok in town after town; police can’t keep up with law enforcement. This is the outgrowth of liberal politics. Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and Chicago have been targeted by the gangbangers. Businesses have been destroyed, their inventory stolen. Jew hatred has gone viral. Those of the Jewish persuasion aren’t safe on city streets, college campuses, even in their house of worship. Where is Schumer, where is Jeffries? That can’t be found. One would think that they would call out their enemy. No, they just bite their tongue and go on their way.
Yet where is the outcry from the Liberal cabal. They remain silent, Only Republicans offer support to the Jews and Israel. They call out the vitriol and hate. After all that Jews have done to embrace and solidify democracy, democracy has turned their back on them.The Dumocrat hate party is now gone full monte consisting of Black agitators, Muslim hate mongers, and those who perpetuate lies such as Blood LIbel.When will they wake up and vote Republican?
To put the perspective in place, we have posted an article on Jerusalem, its history and population.
Jerusalem has stood at the center of Jewish life and identity for more than 3,000 years. Circa 1000 BCE, King David made the city the capital of the Jewish people. His son King Solomon built the First Temple there more than 1,500 years before the advent of Islam. The Second Temple stood for centuries until its destruction by the Romans in 70 CE.
The connection is not abstract, it is historical. Jerusalem is mentioned more than 660 times in the Bible, while it is not mentioned even once in the Quran. Archaeological discoveries throughout the Land of Israel further underline the Jewish connection to the city. The Tel Dan Stele, an ancient inscription discovered in northern Israel in 1993, contains the earliest known extra-biblical reference to the “House of David,” providing powerful historical evidence for the Davidic dynasty described in scripture.
And the Siloam Inscription, discovered in Jerusalem in 1880, commemorates the completion of King Hezekiah’s water tunnel in the 8th century BCE and was written in ancient Hebrew, providing direct evidence of organized Jewish life and governance in the city during the First Temple era.
Indeed, no other people in history ever made Jerusalem its national capital except the Jews. Not the Romans. Not the Byzantines. Not the Ottomans. Not the British. And certainly not the Palestinians.
Americans celebrate Memorial Day, but on this fitting occasion it is important to remember and give tribute to those who have perished in our defense. They gave the ultimate sacrifice, their life, so we can live in liberty.
WASHINGTON — Fraudsters behind the notorious “Quality Learing Center” daycare facility in Minnesota raked in nearly a quarter of a million dollars worth of pandemic-era loans from the Small Business Administration, according to a senator’s investigation.
That daycare center, which had a misspelled name and a near-empty parking lot when YouTuber Nick Shirley stopped by for his viral video last year, became the poster child of the fraud scandal that rocked Minnesota.
The facility, which shuttered in January, had garnered some $1.9 million from Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program last year and some $10 million in state funding since 2019.
But a probe by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) found that it had also received federal assistance from the Small Business Administration back in April and May of 2020 during the first Trump administration.
Ernst is trying to figure out how the SBA assistance money was used. While there are records of the loan going out and then being forgiven, there are no “receipts” about where the money went, a source familiar with the matter explained to The Post.
If the watchdog determines the money was spent improperly, the feds could pursue punitive measures, such as criminal investigations.
