US Assets Counter-Attack Iranian Fast Boats

But they're claiming none of this violated the ceasefire, because they're trying to pretend to comport with the unconstitutional War Powers Act for some reason.

A U.S. strike on Iran's Qeshm Port in the Strait of Hormuz and Bandar Abbas were reported Thursday, with U.S. officials telling Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin that this was neither a restart of the war nor an end to the ceasefire.
The U.S. military also struck Iran's Bandar Kargan naval checkpoint in Minab, officials confirmed.
The development came as Iran's state-run IRNA news agency also reported air defense activity in western Tehran.
Two other loud explosions were heard Thursday night, while eyewitnesses told Iran International they heard multiple blasts in Chitgar.
Iran's state-run Mehr News Agency also reported attacks and exchanges of fire across Iran's southern Hormozgan province near Bandar Abbas, Bandar Khamir, Sirik and Qeshm Island, according to reports.
Thursday's strike on Iran's major port came two days after Iran fired 15 ballistic and cruise missiles at the UAE's Fujairah Port.
Those strikes sparked anger among Gulf countries, officials told Griffin, though Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Gen. Dan Caine had said during a Pentagon briefing May 5 that those attacks did not amount to a violation of the ceasefire.
Hegseth and Caine described the attacks as low-level incidents that did not rise to that threshold.

U.S. forces intercepted unprovoked Iranian attacks and responded with self-defense strikes as U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz to the Gulf of Oman, May 7.
Iranian forces launched multiple missiles, drones and small boats as USS Truxtun (DDG 103), USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115), and USS Mason (DDG 87) transited the international sea passage. No U.S. assets were struck.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) eliminated inbound threats and targeted Iranian military facilities responsible for attacking U.S. forces including missile and drone launch sites; command and control locations; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance nodes.
CENTCOM does not seek escalation but remains positioned and ready to protect American forces.

If they're firing on US ships, the War Powers Act is out the window. The US President has nearly unlimited inherent authority to defend US ships and bases from attack.

More from Ed Morrissey. The Iranians attacked us with "swarms of fast attack boats." I don't understand why those were allowed to continue existing.

But, the amount of lousy BBQ'd brisket outside of Texas puts lie to your statement.

However-

Technology has caught up with BBQ and eliminated the alchemical fufaraw of cooking a perfect brisket.

Anyone can cook a perfect BBQ's brisket these days pretty much every single time if you have a Wood Pellet Grill and a bluetooth meat thermometer. Zero guess work.

That goes double for ribs and-

triple for BBQ'd Pork, which was always training wheels BBQ for idjits.

26 OT - because of course they did:

Dozens of California-based representatives sent a letter Thursday to the state’s attorney general urging him to conduct a “full and robust review” of the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance Corporation.

“If you determine that this merger would have anticompetitive effects, use your best judgment to pursue the appropriate course of action,” the letter, signed by 34 members of Congress representing different districts in California, reads.

The effort was spearheaded by Rep. Laura Friedman — representing California’s 30th Congressional District — whose office confirmed it had previously been in touch with Paramount about the merger.
The letter’s concerns were reinforced by signatures from several high-profile Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Zoe Lofgren, Ted Lieu and Ro Khanna.

A group of House Democrats is urging the Trump administration to publicly acknowledge Israel’s undeclared nuclear weapons program, a move that would abandon decades of U.S. policy but confirm what has been an open secret among intelligence officials since the late 1960s.

In a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio obtained by The Washington Post, more than two dozen lawmakers, led by Rep. Joaquin Castro (Texas), say Washington’s silence on the program is indefensible amid the war in Iran and the acute threat of military escalation.

Grew up in NC, now in Texas. This just isn't true in any way that I can figure out. Brisket is nonexistent in the Carolina BBQ repertoire, and that's what Texas BBQ is. Sure there's pulled pork here too but it's not as good as Carolina whole hog.

The Carolinas are big pork producing states so pork dominates the BBQ scene there, just like Texas has big ranches and many head of cattle.

54 Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire. There was no damage done to the three Destroyers, but great damage done to the Iranian attackers. They were completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy. These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down. Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave! A normal Country would have allowed these Destroyers to pass, but Iran is not a normal Country. They are led by LUNATICS, and if they had the chance to use a Nuclear Weapon, they would do it, without question — But they’ll never have that opportunity and, just like we knocked them out again today, we’ll knock them out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST! Our three Destroyers, with their wonderful Crews, will now rejoin our Naval Blockade, which is truly a “Wall of Steel.” President DJT

Sheridan Gorman’s mother dropping hard truth after watching her daughter’s accused killer in court last week:
“They claimed he doesn’t understand English and has the mentality of a small child — so he can’t stand trial.”

Mom fired back:

“I saw him stand in the courtroom. He can stand. A small child doesn’t buy an illegal gun. A small child doesn’t stand at the end of a pier and execute someone.”

Even more damning — he was answering the judge before the translator could even speak. He understood every word.

The authorized use of Military Force from 9-11 is still in force, and allows the President to use force against ANY ALLY of Al Q and Bin Laden.

The Taliban were attacked by multiple US Presidents under this rubric... and the Taliban were funded, armed, and aided, by Iran.

Ergo, Iran was an ally of Bin Laden and Al Q... thus falling under the 9-11 Authorization.... Congress never put a time limit on it, nor rescinded it.

Alpha News has learned the executive director of the state’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was on the receiving end of more than $110,000 in taxpayer payments over six months for a publicly-funded adult foster care program he ran from a Rosemount residence.

What’s more, after Alpha News contacted Jaylani Hussein for comment on April 29, his name and phone number were removed from the license record.

Hussein, who has led the Minnesota chapter of CAIR since 2015, was — until days ago — listed as a license holder for an adult foster care program alongside co-licensee Fardosa Adan Hassan, according to state records.

The Carolinas are big pork producing states so pork dominates the BBQ scene there, just like Texas has big ranches and many head of cattle.

Four months after masked federal agents shot and killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti on the streets of Minneapolis, New York leaders announced a plan to implement some of the strictest rules for immigration officials of any state in the country.

The package, which was included in the state budget deal announced on Thursday, prohibits state and local officials from entering into formal or informal cooperation agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and bars law enforcement agents from wearing masks.

The goal appears to not be regime change, the goal appears to be to break the financial and market hold the EU and the Brits have on the region.
They seem to kick up conflicts there any time the price of oil goes too high, and they also seem to profit from insuring the pipelines and shipping in the area, which demands a higher "war risk" premium when conflicts start.

Like Venezuela, once the outside funding goes away the outside influence stops being important, the the gulf states can go back to pumping and selling oil and figuring out what to do with their profits.
Regime change stops that process because it means everyone has to fight over who is boss. The way Trump is doing it, he is getting everyone to fight over who is boss first.

169 >>@130 Jackstraw-Not freaking out BUT I can't help but remember that our side gets stompy feet too when things aren't going their way. High prices at the pump, food and no smiting of our enemies here at home. We want turn out for the mid terms. I am rooting for Trump, I'm rooting for our side. However if we take a bath in the mid terms we might be f'ed let alone Trump surviving the many assassination attempts that are sure to come. I want that shit dealt with too. We're on shaky ground.

Still only May 7th.

I think everyone including Trump understands he has to get this done soon but also get it done right. For a newcomer he's exceptionally good at politics as shown by the schlonging in Indiana.

If Trump lays waste to Iran gas prices aren't coming down anytime soon. Worse, someone will have to pick up the pieces and that usually means us one way or the other. He's a pretty good negotiator and has earned my trust in these issues. I give him a longer leash than some.

********************
I could be wrong, but about a month ago Mossad or us? tried to bring arms in and the Kurds got them.

Persians are waiting til it is safe to rise up. I have patience. I also pray and believe we will win.

Everyone's an expert now. I just watch Tousi and think he knows more than the whiners what is going on. His father is stuck in Iran. The ONLY way information gets to them is via Starlink.

Please do not be retards like other blogs.

The midterms hinge on turnout. That is my only concern. Sadly lots of people turn out to vote for the king (so they think) and then they go home thinking their work is done, to hell with local and state government and Congress.

(I thought it was curious when voting for the school board the other day one of the election officials commented that if they hold an election, I show up. Well, I feel compelled to as a function of self-government. 83 ballots were cast in that election.)

Well, good for you, Ken.

Information says air support kept them from damage with interceptions.

I pray for those on that ship and all of them every night.

Due to their little attack the IRGC are going to die soon.
