In South Los Angeles, a mystery shooter has been turning alley cats into target practice with a BB gun. PETA responded by offering $5,000 for the culprit’s arrest. Dozens of cats have been targeted, including poor Albert, who now has a bullet stuck in his spine.

Following a March 29 meeting in Islamabad with foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said his country is prepared to host U.S.-Iran talks aimed at de-escalating the conflict in the Middle East, stating, “Pakistan will be honoured to host and facilitate meaningful talks between the two sides in [the] coming days, for a comprehensive and lasting settlement of the ongoing conflict.” The talks are set to take place today.
Meanwhile, CENTCOM has confirmed that the USS Tripoli (LHA 7) arrived in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility waters on Friday, with 3,500 U.S. sailors and Marines on board. This deployment builds on the existing presence of around 50,000 U.S. troops in the region.
Nothing says “we’re committed to peace” like sending more troops toward Iran right before negotiations are to take place, and Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf has taken note of it, saying, “the enemy publicly signals negotiations while secretly planning a ground invasion.”
Last week, Marines received a letter from Lieutenant General Leonard F. Anderson IV, commander of Marine Forces Reserve, in which they were told to “prepare your family” and “check their gear.” The most noteworthy line read, “Our forces are currently engaged in operations connected to Iran and are positioned to preserve stability in the Western Hemisphere.”
Apparently, “preserving stability” requires sending more U.S. fighters as opposed to gearing up on negotiation tactics.
Regarding military deployment to Iran, will the IDF fight too? According to reports, no, they won’t. Why would they? Israeli billionaires leased the U.S. military.
Meanwhile, Houthis are ramping up attacks on Israel to support Iran, and the U.S. cannot fight them at the same time, nor can Israel while fighting in Lebanon. The Houthis entered the conflict on Saturday with two missile and drone attacks on Israel in the space of fewer than 24 hours.
Perhaps the Houthis are the sneak attack? Waiting for the U.S. and Israel to wear themselves out on Iran, only to hit them from behind with the Houthis?
Rethink What You Put in Your Mouth
Most toothpaste contain fluoride, foaming agents, and chemicals you wouldn’t knowingly eat—yet you use them twice a day.
VanMan’s Miracle Tooth Powder flips that model. It’s made with real grass-fed cattle bone hydroxyapatite—the same mineral structure as your teeth—to naturally remineralize and strengthen enamel.
No fluoride. No SLS. No foaming agents. Just clean, edible ingredients that work with your body—not against it.
Users report whiter teeth, less plaque, and waking up without that dry, coated feeling traditional toothpaste leaves behind.

We can now refer to Israel’s military actions in Lebanon as an invasion. Why? Because the Associated Press says that we can. They dedicate an entire article to explaining why they feel “invasion” is the appropriate term, adding that, “It’s important to use the correct language to describe military action between sovereign nations.”
But beyond the terminology, not only are they invading a sovereign nation, they are also killing journalists. Israeli forces launched multiple strikes on a marked press vehicle near Jezzine in southern Lebanon, killing three journalists and wounding others after firing four missiles. The IDF says one of these journalists was a Hezbollah terrorist, which is a baseless claim.
In a further escalation, in what some are reporting as an attempt to replicate the “Gaza model” of occupation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed his military to expand invasions of southern Lebanon. This is concerning given that the Health Ministry is reporting that Israel has already killed 1,094 in Lebanon this month, and this includes 121 children.
The IDF claims that at least 700 of those killed were Hezbollah members, though it has offered no proof.
In this context, the AP calling this an invasion is spot on, and given their long track record of selective wording, mislabeling, and coverups, one has to wonder what their real motives are for suddenly caring about correct language.
Artemis II is trending because it will be the first American spacecraft in almost 54 years to fly around the moon and return to Earth.
This video is trending because it is a comedic satire of the idiocy of being called an antisemite for criticizing the warring government of Israel. It’s perfection.
Pope Leo is trending because he seemed to rebuke Trump when he said Jesus does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.
