SEAL-TURNED-SENATOR SAVES THE DAY WHEN A SPICY PROTESTER FIGHTS CAPITOL POLICE:

Anti-war protester Brian McGinnis, who also happens to be the Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in North Carolina, was festooned in his Marine uniform while he mounted his protest against Operation Epic Fury. McGinnis’s bio indicates he did one tour of duty from 2000 to 2004 before being honorably discharged.

The Capitol Police attempted to remove McGinnis from the hearing room in order to stop his incessant disruptions, but they were not successful because McGinnis tightly gripped the door jamb while shouting, “No one wants to fight for Israel!” The CP could not break his grip.

This is when [Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT)] stepped into action. Sheehy exited the dais, calmly walked over to McGinnis and the Capitol Police, and spoke with him, asking him to settle down. When McGinnis still would not release his grip on the door jamb, Sheehy used a maneuver which forced the protestor to release his grip on the door. This allowed the Capitol Police to get McGinnis upright in order to escort him out.

Here’s the crazy on top of the crazy. While Sheehy was working his jujitsu (or whatever he did) on McGinnis’ hand, other protesters screamed, “Let go of his hand!” “The Senator broke his hand!” “A U.S. Senator just broke the hand of a Marine!”

GROUND WAR ERUPTS IN IRAN AS THOUSANDS OF US-BACKED KURDISH FIGHTERS SURGE ACROSS BORDER IN DRAMATIC ASSAULT:

Thousands of Kurdish fighters have a launched a ground invasion in Iran, according to a US official.

The Kurdish militias, based across the border in Iraq, began the offensive in northwestern Iran on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump on Sunday night spoke with the heads of Kurdish militant groups in Iraq to discuss the situation in Iran.

The CIA was exploring plans to arm the Kurdish forces with the aim of sparking a popular uprising, CNN reported Tuesday.

The Kurdish groups are widely seen as the most well-organized faction of the fragmented Iranian opposition and are believed to have thousands of battle-hardened fighters.

Their entry into the war could pose a significant challenge to the besieged authorities in Tehran and could also risk pulling Iraq further into the conflict.

Baghdad Bob says it’s not happening – so it’s likely happening:

Meanwhile, if you want to understand why “international law” isn’t taken seriously now:

The covert use of an Ohio-class SSBN inside Sri Lanka’s (EEZ) to torpedo and sink a vessel without declared hostilities violate the prohibition on the use of force under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter and undermine the legal order established by UNCLOS governing maritime zones.

Submarines are supposed to be covert, dumbass. This isn’t war, but collective self-defense on the part of the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, and several other countries, which is explicitly allowed by Article 51 of the UN Charter. And the United States is not a party to the Law of the Sea, which might as well ban Baskin-Robbins clown cones for all the relevance it has here.

GET OVER YOURSELVES: Punk Fail? Rockers Cancel Festival Over Trump.

Now, a gaggle of punk bands planning to tour the country is calling it quits. The reason why is so very, very 2026.

It’s all about Trump Derangement Syndrome.

No, we can’t all get along, apparently, and the Punk in the Park tour’s demise has little to do with the bands in question.

Denver’s far-Left Westword shared the ugly reason for the cancellation – “continued fallout over the organizer’s recently exposed political leanings, particularly financially supporting Trump’s second presidential campaign…”

Cameron Collins is the owner of the tour’s parent company, the Dallas-based Brew Ha Ha Productions. Collins contributed to President Trump’s most recent presidential campaign.

That was enough to stop the tour cold.

And Jello Biafra? Really?
