“We have mutually agreed that, while the Blockade will remain in full force and effect, Project Freedom (The Movement of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz) will be paused for a short period of time to see whether or not the Agreement can be finalized and signed…” - President DONALD J. TRUMP

Secretary Rubio says Operation Epic Fury is over.

Hegseth on Project Freedom: "This operation is separate and distinct from Operation Epic Fury. Project Freedom is defensive in nature, focused in scope, and temporary in duration, with one mission: protecting innocent commercial shipping from Iranian aggression."

This comes while the Iranian regime is targeting the commercial and US military ships with cruise missiles as per Reuters.

Air defense systems are currently responding to a missile threat. Please remain in a safe location and follow official channels for warnings and updates.

@afneil The German Chancellor said the US is being humiliated worldwide regarding Iran. That's also counterproductive don't you think?

Good luck continuing to wage your war against Iran without your German bases. Well nigh impossible. US troops aren’t in Germany to protect Germans. They’ve been there to project US power. Bye bye.

O St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my interests and desires. O St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord; so that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of fathers. O St. Joseph, I never weary contemplating you and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart. Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me, and ask Him to return the kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, patron of departing souls, pray for us. Amen. 🙏

A Mayo Clinic-developed artificial intelligence (AI) model can help specialists detect pancreatic cancer on routine abdominal CT scans up to three years before clinical diagnosis. It identifies subtle signs of disease before tumors are visible, when curative treatment may still be possible. The findings, published in Gut, mark a milestone in Mayo Clinic's multiyear research effort to enable earlier detection of one of the deadliest cancers. Learn more: mayocl.in/4eippBP

Iran Is Flooded With So Much Unsold Oil That It’s Stashing It in Derelict Tanks @WSJ - You mean the strategy is working? wsj.com/world/middle-e… Iran is scrambling to find new ways to store its oil, hoping to avoid a crippling production shutdown as a U.S. naval blockade bottles up its exports... With oil backing up at home, Iran is reviving derelict sites known as “junk storage,” using improvised containers and trying to ship crude by rail to China. The unusual steps are aimed at delaying an infrastructure crisis... With limited ability to load crude onto ships, Iran’s national oil company has already begun reducing output, according to Kpler. Production cuts often start before storage is technically full, because operators need to preserve room in the system and avoid dangerous bottlenecks. Kpler estimates Iranian crude production could fall from current levels by more than half, to between 1.2 million and 1.3 million barrels a day, by mid-May if the blockade holds.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

Muslims do not need to become a majority to take over a nation politically. The real benchmark is 10%. Once Muslims reach that threshold, they generate enough organized, consistent, and relentless pressure to begin reshaping a society from within. This is exactly what happened in the Middle East, Islam ruled for centuries before Muslims were even a majority of the population. They will do the same in Europe and the West if not decisively stopped. The Islamization of culture accelerates once political leverage is achieved; but achieving that leverage never required a majority. Islamic doctrine is extraordinarily well developed on this point; it has centuries of refined methodology for how a minority captures political power, then gradually Islamizes the culture until the demographic transformation becomes irreversible. The British and Europeans have no idea what they are dealing with. They look down on Islam as a primitive religion; a relic, a curiosity. They do not see it for what it actually is: one of the most sophisticated and battle-tested systems of political conquest ever developed by human civilization. By the time they realize it, 10% will be a distant memory.

Wow!

BREAKING: President Trump extends ceasefire. STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP: Based on the fact that the Government of Iran is seriously fractured, not unexpectedly so and, upon the request of Field Marshal Asim Munir, and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, of Pakistan, we have been asked to hold our Attack on the Country of Iran until such time as their leaders and representatives can come up with a unified proposal. I have therefore directed our Military to continue the Blockade and, in all other respects, remain ready and able, and will therefore extend the Ceasefire until such time as their proposal is submitted, and discussions are concluded, one way or the other. President DONALD J. TRUMP
