LISTEN: US Military Releases Audio of US Naval Vessels on Patrol in the Gulf of Oman, Warning Other Vessels Amid Blockade – “We Will Use Force”

US Naval Vessel patrols Gulf of Oman
The US Military on Tuesday released audio of US Naval officers patrolling the Gulf of Oman and warning other vessels that try to breach blockade.
“U.S. naval vessels are on patrol in the Gulf of Oman as CENTCOM continues to execute a U.S. blockade on ships entering and departing Iranian ports. U.S. forces are present, vigilant, and ready to ensure compliance,” CENTCOM said.
“After implementing the blockade on ships entering and departing Iranian ports, American forces halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea. U.S. Sailors, Marines, and Airmen remain positioned and ready to act against any vessels seeking to violate the blockade,” CENTCOM said.
“The US has announced a formal blockade of Iranian ports in coastal areas,” a Naval officer says.
“This is illegal action. All vessels are advised to immediately return to port if leaving, and discontinue transit to Iran if that is your next port of call, do not attempt to breach the blockade,” he said.
“Vessels will be boarded for interdiction and seizure transiting to or from an Iranian port,” the officer said.
“Turn around and prepare to be boarded. If you do not comply with this blockade, we will use force. The whole of the United States Navy is ready to force compliance,” he said.
WATCH:
On Monday, President Trump announced a US Naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz after peace negotiations stalled.
“The United States to Blockade Ships Entering or Exiting Iranian Ports on April 13 at 10:00 A.M. ET. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT” Trump said on Truth Social.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday, President Trump had already ordered the U.S. Navy to BLOCK “any and all ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz effective immediately” after Iran defied his nuclear demands and continued their terrorist extortion racket on the world’s energy supply.
CENTCOM confirmed the blockade: Starting at 10 a.m. ET today, U.S. forces will implement a full blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports and coastal areas, including every single Iranian port on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman.
The blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations. Freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz to non-Iranian ports will continue, but the terror regime’s ports are now effectively shut down.
The US Naval blockade was implemented after Vice President JD Vance announced no deal had been reached with Iran after a 21-hour marathon negotiations.
Here is the US’s ‘red line’ list according to Semafor (It is unclear if any points were agreed upon):
– End all uranium enrichment
– Dismantle all major nuclear enrichment facilities
– Retrieve highly enriched uranium
– Accept a broader peace, security and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies
– End funding for terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis
– Fully open the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage

Trans-Identified Attorney Goes Berserk in Oklahoma Courtroom, Screams “I Can’t Breathe,” and Demands a Female Officer While Resisting Arrest After Playing the “Trans” Victim Card (VIDEO)

Chaos erupts inside an Oklahoma courtroom as attorney Rob Hopkins is restrained by deputies after being held in contempt.
A transgender Oklahoma attorney representing a mother in a bitter child custody battle was arrested after repeatedly clashing with the judge, triggering a chaotic scene that ended with contempt charges, resistance, and a dramatic removal from the courtroom.
According to The Oklahoma Post, attorney Rob Hopkins, who was representing Julie Ann Kramer in an ongoing custody dispute, was taken into custody by order of Judge Laurie Jackson after repeatedly interrupting proceedings and refusing to comply with courtroom decorum.
The viral footage shows Hopkins repeatedly interrupting the judge, smirking at the bench, and eventually throwing a phone in a fit of rage.
The courtroom video began when Hopkins repeatedly spoke over Judge Laurie Jackson, refusing to yield the floor despite multiple warnings.
Judge Laurie Jackson: “You interrupt me one more time, you are being held in indirect contempt of court.”
Rather than de-escalate, Hopkins continued to argue, insisting the judge was refusing to hear the case properly and challenging the court’s jurisdiction.
At one point, the situation escalated further when Hopkins appeared to knock a phone off the bench, prompting the judge to warn about courtroom conduct as tensions rose.
The situation took an even more bizarre turn when Hopkins suddenly injected identity politics into the confrontation. Instead of acting like a professional, Hopkins attempted to hide behind her identity, suggesting the judge was only being harsh because she is a “transgender attorney.”
Rob Hopkins:
Or maybe because I’m a transgender attorney practicing all over the state.Judge Laurie Jackson:
I don’t know what you are.Rob Hopkins:
You do, ma’am. You do.Judge Laurie Jackson:
I don’t know what you do.Rob Hopkins:
You do.Judge Laurie Jackson:
Other than you have just now—Rob Hopkins:
No, ma’am, you do.Judge Laurie Jackson:
It doesn’t have anything to do—Rob Hopkins:
It’s happened when we talked on the phone.Judge Laurie Jackson:
That wasn’t talking, let me tell you. You were entirely inappropriate.Rob Hopkins:
You were yelling at me, and I did not even know you were the judge.Judge Laurie Jackson:
And I didn’t know you from Adam.Rob Hopkins:
I said, “My name is Rob Hopkins. I’m an attorney in Oklahoma City.”Judge Laurie Jackson:
No, sir, you did not.
The situation turned from combative to theatrical when Hopkins was ordered into custody for direct contempt.
As deputies attempted to lead her away, Hopkins began a bizarre performance, screaming “Do not hurt me!” and “You just kicked me!” despite the video showing officers simply trying to secure her hands.
Hopkins began shrieking, “I can’t breathe!” and “I can’t move!” while writhing on the floor.
Hopkins then demanded a “female officer,” apparently deciding in the heat of the moment that only a woman should be allowed to touch her.
Hopkins was hit with a $25,000 bond and later faced an additional charge for resisting arrest, according to The Oklahoma Post.
NEW: Video of transgender attorney Rob Hopkins is going viral after security cameras captured her being tackled to the ground and jailed for contempt.

President Trump SHUTS DOWN Media Hysteria as Democrats MELT DOWN After He LEGALLY Casts Mail-In Ballot in Florida

President Trump shuts down media hysteria after casting a legal mail-in ballot
The Left and their media allies are once again in full meltdown mode, this time over President Donald Trump doing something completely legal, completely logical, and fully consistent with the very election safeguards he’s been fighting to implement.
President Trump calmly dismantled the latest fake narrative during a roundtable discussion, where reporters attempted to manufacture outrage over his use of a mail-in ballot in Florida’s recent special election.
During Thursday’s roundtable, the President didn’t hold back when Jim Acosta’s girlfriend, Liz Landers of PBS, tried to grill him on his decision to vote by mail.
Trump dismantled the narrative that there is any comparison between a President using a legal, requested absentee ballot and the Democrats’ push for mass, unverified mail-in chaos.
Trump laid it out crystal clear for anyone with a functioning brain:
“Tell me about mail-in ballots, go ahead. You mean I used a mail-in ballot? You probably said yeah, I did. You know why? Because I’m President of the United States. And because of the fact that I’m President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking— But you were in Palm Beach, sir, the last few weekends. That’s right.
And I, yeah, and I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn’t be there. Because I had a lot of different things. But, you know, we have exceptions for mail-in ballots. You do know that, right?
So if you’re away, we have an exception. If you’re in the military, we have an exception. If you’re on a business trip, we have an exception. If you’re disabled, we have an exception. And if you’re ill, if you’re not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington, D.C., so I used a mail-in ballot. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know it was so well-meaning.”
Truth bomb dropped. The President of the United States has national security duties, White House obligations, and a country to run. He wasn’t lounging on the beach — he was working for YOU, the American people.
And the rapid response team nailed it perfectly:
“Is Jim @Acosta’s girlfriend @ElizLanders unable to read? If she had basic comprehension skills, she’d know the SAVE America Act has commonsense exceptions for military service, illness, disability, and travel. And he’s the President of the United States.”

Corporate media outlets and Democrat politicians rushed to label Trump a “hypocrite,” pushing the same tired talking point that he opposes mail-in voting while using it himself.
But here’s what they conveniently ignore: Trump has NEVER opposed legal, limited, and controlled absentee voting, according to a spokesperson who told ABC News.
He has consistently drawn a clear distinction between:
- Targeted absentee/mail-in ballots (with safeguards)
- Mass, universal mail-in voting (with no accountability)
Even the White House reiterated that Trump supports “commonsense exceptions” for mail-in ballots—specifically for:
- Military personnel
- Illness or disability
- Travel or work obligations
Trump, who spends most of his time in Washington, D.C. fulfilling presidential duties, used that exact legal framework.
That’s not hypocrisy. That’s following the law as written.
Absentee ballots for the military in the United States go back much further than most people realize.
The first official, legalized absentee voting for military members began in 1813, when Pennsylvania allowed soldiers in the War of 1812 to vote while away.
The system expanded dramatically during the Civil War (1861–1865):
- Many states passed laws so Union soldiers could vote from the battlefield.
- By the 1864 presidential election, most Union states allowed absentee voting for troops.
So here’s the obvious question: If soldiers risking their lives overseas have long been allowed to vote absentee… why wouldn’t the Commander-in-Chief, responsible for leading them, be afforded the same right?
The answer is simple: he is. And he used it legally.
Let’s be honest about what’s really driving this outrage.
Trump’s push for election integrity, particularly the SAVE America Act, has Democrats panicking.
The legislation:
- Requires proof of citizenship to vote
- Requires voter ID
- Limits mass mail-in ballots
- Preserves absentee voting for legitimate cases
In other words, it restores confidence in elections while protecting access for those who truly need it.
And that’s exactly why the Left is losing it.

BREAKING: ICE Agent Saves Baby’s Life in TSA Line at JFK Airport, Performs Heimlich Maneuver on Unresponsive Infant (VIDEO)


An ICE agent saved a baby’s life in a TSA line at New York’s JFK Airport on Wednesday.
The Democrats have repeatedly voted to block funding for the Department of Homeland Security and TSA.
Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.
President Trump deployed ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
One of the ICE agents deployed to JFK saved a baby’s life.
An infant was unresponsive and wasn’t breathing when an ICE agent jumped into action and performed the Heimlich maneuver on the baby.
“DHS tells Fox News that an ICE agent saved the life of a 1-year-old boy who had gone unresponsive and wasn’t breathing while waiting in a TSA line at JFK airport yesterday.
Full statement from the DHS:
At JFK Airport, as travelers waited in hours-long lines, an infant became unresponsive and stopped breathing. The panic of the child’s family and nearby passengers were heard by an ICE agent stationed at a checkpoint.
This heroic officer immediately sprang into action—rushing toward the cries, taking the child, and performing a Heimlich maneuver that restored the infant’s breathing after nearly two minutes.
This officer’s extraordinary bravery embodies the selfless service of DHS law enforcement.
Video released by the DHS shows the agent running to help the baby.
