Defense Secretary Orders Air Force to Pause All Reorg Planning

Updated Feb. 11, 2025

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the Department of the Air Force to pause all planning related to its “Re-Optimization for Great Power Competition” effort—a move that leaves a sweeping plan to transform the Air Force and Space Force in limbo.

Perhaps most prominently, the Air Force has paused work on Integrated Capabilities Command, the new organization meant to oversee the planning and requirements process for developing the service’s future systems.

A department spokesperson confirmed the order to Air & Space Forces Magazine.

“On Feb. 6, the Secretary of Defense directed the Department of the Air Force to pause all planning actions connected to its Re-Optimizing for Great Power Competition efforts,” the spokesperson said.

“The planning pause remains in effect until a Senate-confirmed Secretary and Undersecretary of the Air Force are in place and have the opportunity to review the initiatives.

The Department of the Air Force welcomes the opportunity for our new leaders to assess all ongoing actions and ensure compliance with DOD directives. We will issue clarifying guidance, as necessary.”

Air & Space Forces Magazine understands there was no memorandum directing the pause.

The directive raises dozens of questions about many of 24 “key decisions” the Department of the Air Force announced in February 2024, with then-Secretary Frank Kendall saying at the time that senior leadership had determined the department was not structured properly for “Great Power Competition”—a term coined under President Donald Trump’s first administration to describe how the Pentagon would seek to deter and counter China.

To “re-optimize,” the Air Force and Space Force embarked on a massive re-organization effort.

The 24 key decisions included everything from the creation of Integrated Capabilities Command for the Air Force and Space Futures Command for the Space Force to a renewed emphasis on large-scale exercises starting with a massive one in the Pacific in summer 2025.

A defense official familiar with the pause order told Air & Space Forces Magazine that “readiness and lethality are at the core of both the Department of the Air Force’s efforts to realign to the threat environment and the new administration’s priorities.

That is why everyone in the Department of the Air Force is fully onboard and welcomes the incoming civilian leadership team, once confirmed, reviewing not only the ‘why’ behind the warfighters and readiness initiatives, but also the considerable progress made to date.

To be clear, the department is already actively moving out to implement the temporary planning pause.”

Some of the key decisions have already been put into action. The Air Force, for example, established a Warrant Officer Training School and has graduated its first new class of warrant officers in decades.

The Space Force redesigned its career paths by creating an Officer Training Course that teaches every new officer the fundamentals of space, intelligence, and cyber operations instead of having them specialize right away.

And the Secretariat of the Air Force established new organizations like an Integrated Capabilities Office and a secretive Office of Competitive Activities.

The Air Force spokesperson said that while planning has been paused, actions already taken do not have to be reversed, meaning those programs will continue.

On Feb. 11, a service official clarified that Resolute Force Pacific, the first of the large-scale exercises mentioned in the re-optimization, “is not impacted” by the pause.

REFORPAC is meant to include some 300 aircraft, and planning has been ongoing for months, though leaders have suggested the scale may need to be tweaked if Congress does not pass a 2025 budget soon.

“REFORPAC is well-aligned with the Department of Defense’s priorities of enhancing warrior ethos and credible deterrence,” the official said.

Who is Janet Petro, Trump's pick for acting NASA administrator?

February 11, 2025

Janet Petro became the first woman to lead NASA on Jan. 20, after U.S. President Donald Trump appointed her to be acting administrator on his first day back in office. Here's what we know about the new head of the space agency.

This appointment came as something of a surprise to many. Often, as a new administration takes office, the incumbent NASA administrator stands down to make way.

Ordinarily, the job goes to the top civil servant in the agency, namely the associate administrator, who is currently Jim Free, as Space Policy Online observed.

However, Trump's appointment of Petro means she takes the role instead of Free.

Petro was born in Michigan in 1960. Her interest in space and the U.S. space program was sparked at an early age, influenced by her father's work with Chrysler on NASA projects, which saw the family relocate to Florida.

That allowed her and her siblings to watch from the beach as the historic Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions lifted off.

During high school, inspired by the opening of military academies to women, she applied and was accepted to leadership training at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

There, she learned valuable lessons in time management, motivation and collaboration, which have been instrumental throughout her career.

She graduated from West Point with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering in 1981 before entering the army, flying helicopters on assignments in Germany.

After five years of service, she moved into engineering and management positions in the private sector. In 1988, she earned a master's degree in business administration from Boston University's Metropolitan College.

Petro was appointed deputy director of John F. Kennedy Space Center, where her father earlier worked, in 2007.

"I was deeply, deeply honored," she told Space Coast Living. On June 30, 2021, she was appointed KSC's first woman director by then-NASA Administrator Bill Nelson.

This was followed by her new historic appointment as the first woman to head NASA since its founding in 1958.

Petro said she was "humbled and honored," in a LinkedIn post. "NASA will continue to support and align with the policies set forth by the new administration, while remaining steadfast in our commitment to NASA's mission and core values," she wrote.

One of her first acts as NASA's acting administrator was to email staff to inform them that the agency was taking steps to close all Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in compliance with an executive order by President Donald Trump, Ars Technica reported.

"These programs divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars and resulted in shameful discrimination," a reported memo from Petro read, according to Ars.

Though urging the stated policies in recent days, Petro has earlier publicly noted the struggles women face.

"As women, we have had to overcome certain inherent obstacles in our lives to get to where we are today. It is neither right, nor wrong — it's just how it is.

But, in the long run, I think it renders women as stronger and better contenders," Petro wrote in a personal essay on NASA's website, for instance.

Petro has since appointed Michael Altenhofen, a long-time technical executive at SpaceX, as a senior advisor to the acting NASA administrator.

This follows concerns from some quarters, noted in a report by Ars Technica, that Elon Musk and SpaceX may have a growing influence on the agency, given Musk's closeness to President Trump and his role in the election campaign.

As acting NASA administrator, Petro is expected to be succeeded by Jared Isaacman, a billionaire, philanthropist and private astronaut who has flown on SpaceX Dragon spacecraft.

Isaacman, nominated by Trump late last year to head up NASA, will need to go through the confirmation process in the U.S. Senate. His nomination was formally sent to the Senate on Jan. 20, but there is currently no indication of how long it will take before he is confirmed.

Petro will continue as NASA's acting administrator and be responsible for directing the agency, including budget and programs, until Isaacman is confirmed.

Each new day brings endless examples of the misuse of US tax dollars through the US Agency for International Development (USAID) as DOGE investigates corruption and fraud in federal agencies.

A new allegation is that the agency allegedly provided “full funding” for al Qaeda terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki to attend Colorado State University (CSU).

Al-Awlaki, an American citizen born in New Mexico to Yemeni parents, was killed in a drone strike in Yemen in 2011.

Al-Awlaki was a central figure of al Qaeda known to have had contact with Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan as a “spiritual advisor” before Hasan’s attack at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009, which left 13 people dead and injured more than 30 others.

NASA to roll out major update to core flight software

February 10, 2025

NASA is preparing to roll out a significant update to its core Flight System (cFS), the reusable software the agency has relied on for 20 years.

A government-only version of NASA cFS with enhanced security, artificial intelligence, robotics support and autonomy features will be released in mid-2025 for space agency programs.

Companies working on NASA instruments, payloads, rovers, landers, balloons and unpiloted aircraft will have access to the government-only version.

An update to the open-source version of cFS, the software framework underpinning more than 40 projects from small satellites to NASA Artemis, lunar Gateway, Mars Sample Return and Roman Space Telescope, will be available soon after the government version is released.

NASA cFS, “the most popular flight software framework in the globe,” has changed little in recent years, Ashok Prajapati, cFS program manager at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, told SpaceNews.

As a result, programmers often added features to suit their missions. “The downside of that was mainstream cFS was not getting all those cool features,” Prajapati said.

“We will save a lot of money and schedule time by implementing new features that multiple missions, going in parallel, need.”

Three-Year Roadmap

After Prajapati, who earned a PhD in computer and electrical engineering from Michigan’s Oakland University, became the NASA cFS program manager in 2024, he formed a NASA cFS steering committee.

The steering committee, with representatives from NASA headquarters and the space agency’s 10 field centers, created a three-year roadmap for NASA cFS 2.0 “with rich features” to support all future missions, Prajapati said.

“We came together to work on it, so that we are not duplicating efforts.”

NASA cFS 2.0 will offer plug-and-play capabilities for in-space robotics, cybersecurity, distributed computing, spacecraft autonomy and onboard machine learning.

Each new cFS feature will go through a rigorous simulation and testing process before release. After release, the NASA cFS program office will solicit feedback from users.

“People should use NASA cFS because it comes with 20 years of heritage,” “You save about 70 percent of the cost versus starting with your own software and 95 percent of the defects.”

In addition, Prajapati is working with representatives from other NASA centers on integrating High Performance Space Computing (HPSC) and cFS.

HPSC focuses on next-generation flight computing to support multicore processing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, autonomy, high-speed data transfer, robust computing power, time-sensitive networks and chip-based cybersecurity.

First launch of Long March 8A sends second group of Guowang megaconstellation satellites into orbit

February 11, 2025

China conducted the first launch of the Long March 8A early Tuesday, carrying a second batch of satellites into orbit for the national Guowang project.

The first Long March 8A lifted off at 4:30 a.m. Eastern (0930 UTC) Feb. 11 from Wenchang Satellite Launch Center.

The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) declared the launch successful more than an hour after liftoff, revealing the payloads to be low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet satellites (02 group).

The spacecraft are understood to be part of the national Guowang (SatNet) broadband megaconstellation.

CASC did not initially reveal how many satellites were aboard the launch. The first Guowang group launch, on the much more powerful Long March 5B, carried 10 satellites.

Tracking from the U.S. Space Force space domain awareness will later reveal how many objects associated with the launch have entered orbit.

Notably, details such as size, mass and capabilities, as well as images of the satellites have yet to be revealed after either launch.

This has raised questions over the nature of the spacecraft and transparency over China’s plans for the nominally-civilian Guowang project.

CASC’s China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) produced the satellites for Tuesday’s launch.

The state-owned China Satellite Network Group Co., Ltd. (China SatNet) oversees the Guowang/SatNet project, which envisions a constellation of around 13,000 satellites in low Earth orbit.

Long March 8A

The Long March 8A is an upgraded variant of the standard Long March 8, which debuted in December 2020.

It features the same first stage and side boosters as the original but includes a newly designed 3.35-meter-diameter hydrogen-oxygen second stage, allowing a wider, 5.2-meter-diameter payload fairing.

It has a length of 50.5 meters, mass at liftoff of 371,000 kilograms and produces a liftoff thrust of around 480 tons.

The rocket can carry around 7,000 kilograms to 700-km Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO). Together with the standard Long March 8, the series offers payload capacities of 5,000 and 7,000 kg to SSO, according to CASC, improving China’s ability to launch constellations of satellites.

The Long March 8 was initially planned as a possible first test of reusability, keeping the side boosters attached for ballast to adjust for limited variable thrust capabilities of engines to allow a propulsive landing.

That plan, however, has long since been dropped, with CASC pursuing reusable launchers through the Long March 9, 10 and 12 rockets.

A reusable version of the latter could debut as soon as this year, though an inconclusive vertical liftoff and powered splashdown test in January may affect the timeline.

The expendable Long March 8 series is, however, expected to be prepared for high cadence launch activity, with a modularized construction, ramped up production of the YF-100 engines for its core and booster stages, and a dedicated launch pad at the Hainan commercial spaceport.

The rockets could play a large role in launching one or both of China’s Guowang and Thousand Sails/Qianfan megaconstellations.

Tuesday’s mission was China’s seventh orbital launch attempt of 2025 and the first since the Lunar New Year.

The previous launches saw the fourth batch of Qianfan satellites launch on a Long March 6A from Taiyuan and a Long March 3B launch from Xichang sending the TJS-14 test satellite towards the geostationary belt.

CASC has yet to publish an overview of China’s plans for the year, which is expected later this month. The country may once again attempt to reach around 100 launches, as targeted for 2024.

Major missions for 2025 include crewed Shenzhou-20 and -21 missions and Tianzhou cargo spacecraft to the Tiangong space station and the Tianwen-2 near-Earth asteroid sample return mission. The latter is expected to launch around May.

China also aims to debut a number of new Long March and potentially reusable commercial rockets during 2025. These could include first “low-cost” cargo missions to the Tiangong space station.

DARPA’s in-space manufacturing program advances with two teams selected for orbital demos

February 10, 2025

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has selected the California Institute of Technology and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to lead the final phase of its in-space manufacturing program, the agency announced Feb. 10.

The program, dubbed NOM4D (Novel Orbital and Moon Manufacturing, Materials, and Mass-efficient Design), aims to tackle one of the most persistent challenges in space infrastructure development: how much cargo can fit inside a rocket’s nose cone.

“As commercial space companies continue to expand access to orbit for U.S. economic and national security needs, a major roadblock for building large-scale structures in orbit remains the size and weight limits imposed by a rocket’s cargo fairing,” DARPA explained in its announcement.

Caltech and UIUC will conduct small-scale orbital demonstrations to validate their novel materials and assembly processes in the space environment.

NOM4D, which kicked off in 2022, explores the use of lightweight raw materials that can be transformed and assembled once they reach orbit.

DARPA says this strategy could enable the construction of structures far larger and more efficient than anything that could be launched fully assembled from Earth.

Caltech’s robotic assembly

Caltech’s demonstration, planned for February 2026, will showcase autonomous robotic construction in low-Earth orbit.

The university has partnered with space transportation company Momentus to launch their experiment aboard a Vigoride orbital vehicle on a SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-16 mission.

The demonstration will feature a “free-flying” autonomous system where a gantry robot will construct a 1.4-meter-diameter circular truss using lightweight composite fiber tubes.

While not a functional antenna, the structure will serve as a proof-of-concept for future large-scale space-based communications infrastructure.

University of Illinois’ materials process

The University of Illinois team is focusing on innovative materials and manufacturing processes. Their demonstration, scheduled for April 2026, will take place on the International Space Station using the Bishop Airlock module.

The team has partnered with Voyager Technologies (formerly Voyager Space) for the mission, which will launch on NASA’s Commercial Resupply Mission NG-24.

The Illinois team’s innovation centers on a composite-forming process using carbon fiber that starts flat and transforms into a hardened reinforced structure through a controlled chemical reaction.

This technology could dramatically reduce the volume needed to transport building materials to orbit.

“We envision NOM4D technologies enabling other massive structures in orbit, such as refueling stations for commercial or government spacecraft, space-based solar array farms, and many other commercial and national security applications,” said DARPA’s announcement.

A third team from the University of Florida, while not participating in the orbital demonstrations, is developing laser sheet metal bending techniques.

This technology will be shared with NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, potentially contributing to future space manufacturing capabilities.

While a Department of Defense agency, DARPA has taken an interest in lunar technology development, with NOM4D complementing other initiatives like its Lunar Architecture (LunA-10) study and the Lunar Infrastructure and Robotics-Enabled Intelligence for Complex Operations (LOGIC) project.

World Athletics Moves to Cheek Swabs to Determine Female Eligibility

World Athletics is preparing to institute cheek-swab tests for elite athletes who want to compete in female categories to make sure they are females and not transgender athletes.

The move comes after the organization banned transgender athletes from playing as females back in March of 2023.

At the time, Lord Sebastian Coe, head of World Athletics, said, “We will be guided in this by the science around physical performance and male advantage, which will inevitably develop over the coming years. As more evidence becomes available, we will review our position, but we believe the integrity of the female category in athletics is paramount.”

But since that time, World Athletics has said that there is “new evidence which clarifies there is already an athletically significant performance gap before the onset of puberty,” according to The Guardian.

“The childhood or pre‑pubertal performance gap in the sport of athletics specifically is 3 to 5% in running events, and higher in throwing and jumping events. New evidence establishes that athletic disadvantages associated with female body structure and physiology contribute to the performance gap,” the organization added.

Coe insisted that the latest changes are meant to “ensure that our guidelines keep up with the latest information available to maintain a fair and level playing field in the female categor.”. He said: “Preserving the integrity of competition in the female category is a fundamental principle of the sport of athletics, and we look forward to this collaborative consultation process with our key stakeholders in this area.”

World Athletics said the cheek swab will test for the SRY gene and testosterone levels.

World Athletics also maintains that lowering testosterone levels for transgender athletes does not do enough to erase the advantages that male athletes have. And claims that “new evidence has also clarified that testosterone suppression in 46XY DSD and 46XY transgender individuals can only ever partly mitigate the overall male advantage in the sport of athletics.”

Lord Coe is now seeking to be elected as the next head of the International Olympic Committee. He has pledged to spearhead an “uncompromising and clearcut policy” to protect women’s sports.

Jamie is going all out to stop DOGE—but why? For the American people? Please. That’s a joke. So, what’s the real reason?

Well, some newly unearthed info on Jamie Raskin’s wife is starting to bring the full picture into focus—and it just might explain why Congressman Raskin is so terrified of DOGE and doing everything in his power to shut it down.

Turns out, Mrs. Sarah Bloom Raskin has quite the deep state resume—and some of her dealings raised eyebrows.

The kicker is that Congressman Raskin failed to disclose certain financials from his darling wife in a timely manner, violating the Stock Act in the process. But that’s not even the worst of it…

Insurrection Barbie:

Jamie Raskin’s wife previously served at the top levels of the treasury and the federal reserve during the Obama administration.

Raskin took eight months to disclose his wife’s sale of 195,936 shares of Reserve Trust, where she sat on the advisory board. This sale resulted in $1.5 million in profit for Raskin’s wife.

This was a violation of the Stock Act.

But that’s not the real story, the real stories is that in 2018, when she sat on the advisory board, the Fed granted Reserve Trust unusual access to its master account — an enviable get that allows the fintech company to move money for customers without relying on banks.

This was the only state chartered trust company in the country to get one.

And that’s why she got 1.5 million dollars in exchange.

You see why @RepRaskin is terrified of @elonmusk and DOGE auditing the treasury.

Space Flag 25-1: Largest USSF exercise advances space superiority

Feb. 10, 2025

Space Training and Readiness Command concluded Space Flag 25-1, the 20th iteration of its premier training exercise, and the largest service exercise in the Space Force’s history, in late December 2024.

Space Flag is designed to prepare Guardians and joint forces to integrate all space power disciplines and maintain space superiority against advanced threats.

By replicating realistic operational environments, the exercise hones mission planning and execution at both tactical and operational levels.

Hosted by the 392nd Combat Training Squadron, Space Flag 25-1 brought together approximately 500 participants and observers, including representation from every mission Delta in Space Operations Command, operational units from U.S. Space Forces Space (S4S), and a wide array of interagency partners and military organizations.

The 392nd CTS, responsible for providing advanced military space training, ensured participants collaborated in mission planning and tactical execution to prepare for the challenges of contested space operations.

For the first time, Operational Command and Control (C2) Centers such as S4S’s National Space Defense Center, Combined Space Operations Center, and Joint Overhead Persistent Infrared Center, as well as the National Reconnaissance Office Operations Center took on real-world roles in the exercise as the operational component, or Blue Cell players.

This involvement replaced simulated functions used in prior iterations, significantly increasing the realism and operational complexity of the scenarios.

Space Flag 25-1 saw substantial improvements to its battle lab capabilities. Upgrades to the modeling and simulation environment enhanced the realism of Space Domain Awareness and Satellite Communications Network play.

These advancements provided participants with more accurate and dynamic scenarios, better reflecting real-world challenges for congested and contested resources within the exercise.

The exercise also introduced a new capability that created a dynamic and realistic virtual radiofrequency environment for participants.

This capability, introduced for the first time in Space Flag history, added another layer of operational realism by simulating radiofrequency conditions Guardians might face in contested environments.

Looking ahead, this capability is expected to evolve further, supporting more missions and enabling increased joint electronic warfare participation.

Building on these technological and operational advancements, the exercise spanned multiple locations, including Schriever, Peterson, Buckley, and Vandenberg Space Force Bases.

The first week centered on operational-level mission planning with master space plans and task orders delivered to tactical players.

A quarter-million dollar donation made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's charitable foundation to an organization run by Joe Biden's daughter should be thoroughly probed, a top figure from a think tank closely associated with the Trump White House claims.

The couple's non-profit organization, Archewell, was revealed to be a founding partner of Ashley Biden's initiative, Women's Wellness (Spa)ce, to which they contributed the six-figure sum, according to the charity's impact report published last December.

Now Nile Gardiner, Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, is calling for 'significant scrutiny' of the donation made to the Philadelphia-based hub, which has been described as a 'trauma-informed wellness center' for women.

The donation was made some time in the 2023-2024 tax year, according to Archewell's annual report.

It came at a time when the couple seemed to be intent on finding a way into the Biden family inner circle when Joe Biden was still President.

DailyMail.com has previously reported that Meghan and Harry wanted to ride back to the US on Air Force One after the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II in 2022 but were rebuffed by the White House.

The couple also invited then-First Lady Jill Biden to attend the Invictus Games, Harry's Olympics-style competition for disabled veterans, but she turned them down, reportedly out of fear it could upset the British royal family.

Microplastics in the bloodstream can induce cerebral thrombosis by causing cell obstruction and lead to neurobehavioral abnormalities

22 Jan 2025

Abstract

Human health is being threatened by environmental microplastic (MP) pollution. MPs were detected in the bloodstream and multiple tissues of humans, disrupting the regular physiological processes of organs. Nanoscale plastics can breach the blood-brain barrier, leading to neurotoxic effects. How MPs cause brain functional irregularities remains unclear. This work uses high-depth imaging techniques to investigate the MPs within the brain in vivo. We show that circulating MPs are phagocytosed and lead these cells to obstruction in the capillaries of the brain cortex. These blockages as thrombus formation cause reduced blood flow and neurological abnormalities in mice. Our data reveal a mechanism by which MPs disrupt tissue function indirectly through regulation of cell obstruction and interference with local blood circulation, rather than direct tissue penetration. This revelation offers a lens through which to comprehend the toxicological implications of MPs that invade the bloodstream.

The PBS office solely dedicated to embracing the disputed ethos of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) – and its associated diversity officers – is no more.

The closure is in direct response to President Donald Trump executive orders signed last week targeting wasteful DEI programs across a host of government sectors.

In a confirmation statement sent to Fox News Digital, PBS confirmed the move Monday.

In order to best ensure we are in compliance with the President’s executive order around Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion we have closed our DEI office. The staff members who served in that office are leaving PBS.

We will continue to adhere to our mission and values. PBS will continue to reflect all of America and remain a welcoming place for everyone.

PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger sent out a memo earlier in the day, according to the New York Times, informing her colleagues that after working with legal counsel on the matter of Trump’s executive orders on DEI, they decided to follow Trump’s order and shutter the office.

“To ensure that we comply with the President’s Executive Order, we have closed our DEI office, and Cecilia Loving and Gina Leow are leaving PBS. I know you join me in wishing them well in future endeavors,” Kerger wrote.

We were not the first country that had slaves, but we were one of the first countries to abolish slavery.

America paid reparations, in blood. The blood of 600,000 soldiers who died to abolish slavery.

From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis Resigns Amid Impeachment Proceedings

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis announced his resignation on Monday following the launch of impeachment proceedings against him. The move comes after last year’s presidential election was annulled due to allegations of Russian interference.

The Constitutional Court invalidated the December election after far-right candidate Călin Georgescu, a relatively unknown figure, won outright in the first round amid claims of foreign meddling.

Iohannis, a pro-European leader, had previously stated that he would remain in office until a new election in May. However, mounting pressure led lawmakers to initiate impeachment proceedings on Monday, following two previous opposition-led attempts.

“In order to spare Romania and its citizens a crisis, I am resigning from the presidency,” Iohannis declared, confirming that he will officially step down on Wednesday.

He warned that Romania is on the brink of a political crisis, stating, “In a few days, parliament will vote on my impeachment, which will push Romania into turmoil with both domestic and international consequences.” He maintained that he had “never violated the constitution.”

Bill Gates and George Soros ripped off American taxpayers, milking $Billions from USAID to carry out their exploitative political agendas worldwide

In a stunning move that has shocked the establishment, the Trump administration has ordered the shutdown of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), halting its operations and placing nearly all staff on leave. This is no mere bureaucratic reshuffle—it is a direct strike against a globalist enterprise that has siphoned billions of taxpayer dollars into the coffers of Bill Gates, George Soros, and the dystopian schemes of the World Economic Forum (WEF). For decades, USAID has been a pipeline for funneling American tax dollars into these individuals’ political agendas, bypassing democratic oversight and enriching their sprawling empires. As the agency teeters on permanent closure, a spotlight is shining on the staggering scale of this financial labyrinth and the urgent need to hold those responsible accountable.

Main Points:

USAID has distributed billions of taxpayer dollars to Bill Gates’ vaccine initiatives, George Soros’ regime-change projects, and the WEF’s globalist agenda.

The agency’s shutdown is a reckoning for a system that has prioritized globalist goals over American interests.

American taxpayers have been left footing the bill for these elite schemes, with little to no transparency or accountability.

Bill Gates and George Soros should have their ill-gotten gains confiscated and returned to the people.

USAID-branded building found in liberated Donbass city (VIDEO) - RT

The American foreign influence agency is under scrutiny for alleged waste and misuse of taxpayer dollars

A video shot by Russian troops in the recently liberated city of Kurakhovo in Donbass has gained online attention for featuring a plaque from the US Agency for International Development (USAID). The footage comes amid a crackdown on Washington's primary foreign influence organization, which in 2023 alone boasted a budget of some $60 billion, by the administration of US President Donald Trump.

In the clip, Russian soldiers approach an administrative building that has the plaque prominently displayed at the entrance. The soldiers are heard joking that “enemies of the American people” work for USAID. It’s not clear when exactly the video was filmed. The Russian Defense Ministry announced the full liberation of Kurakhovo, a city located in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), from Ukrainian forces on January 6.

Last week, the region’s head, Denis Pushilin, highlighted the plaque in a social media post that accused the American agency of harming entire nations through “networks of ‘independent’ media tasked with manipulating the public opinion.”

Trump recently suspended most US foreign aid programs, with USAID being at the center of scrutiny since the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) began its work. Reports from Ukraine have since revealed that roughly 90% of local media were in fact dependent on USAID grants.

Musk has mocked the characterization of such outlets as independent and has branded USAID “a criminal organization” due to the overtly pro-Western nature of some of its projects.

The plaque in Kurakhovo stirred interest online, although it does not necessarily imply that the city was a significant hub for USAID activities. According to Ukrainian officials, the agency partially financed renovations of the municipal services building shown in the video, which included providing furniture, equipment, and training for staff. The plaque designates the office, which was reopened in 2021, as “a gift from the American people.”

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the Trump Administration to restore the gender ideology webpages it deleted.

US District Judge John Bates of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a George W. Bush appointee, ordered Trump to restore the pages by midnight tonight.

Last month, President Trump scrubbed public health websites of all things related to “gender ideology.”

A group dubbed Doctors For America sued the Office of Personal Management and numerous government agencies, claiming the removal could prevent doctors from helping patients.

Judge Bates agreed with Doctors for America and ordered the extremist ideology to be restored.

London Skies in Chaos as British Airways Jet Evades Catastrophic Drone Crash by Inches in a Hair-Raising Incident

Tuesday, February 11, 2025

A British Airways jet narrowly avoided a catastrophic collision with a drone near London City Airport, coming within 10 feet in a terrifying near-miss incident.

A British Airways plane narrowly avoided a catastrophic collision with a drone, coming within just 10 feet of impact near London City Airport.

The incident, classified as a “Category A” event, indicates there was a “serious risk” of a collision, according to official reports.

The flight, operated by BA’s Cityflyer regional carrier, was four nautical miles northwest of London when the alarming event occurred.

The crew of the Embraer 190 aircraft reported spotting a lit object at 6:10 PM on October 31 while flying at an altitude of 3,000 feet, as confirmed by Thames radar controllers.

In the UK, drone regulations prohibit flights above 400 feet, making this occurrence not only dangerous but also illegal.

Despite notifying London City Airport’s control tower and the police, the unidentified object was never located or officially identified.

A report by the UK Airprox Board highlighted the severity of the situation, stating there was a “definite risk of collision,” and praised the pilots for their quick, instinctive response in avoiding disaster.

Previous Incidents Raise Alarming Trends

This is not an isolated case. In January 2024, another British Airways flight carrying 180 passengers had a similarly close encounter with a drone over Kent.

The aircraft, an A321, had just departed Heathrow en route to Greece when the drone came within five feet of its wing and just 30 feet from the cockpit.

Traveling at 250 mph and flying at 9,600 feet, the near-miss was described by the UK Airprox Board as one of the closest calls for a British Airways aircraft.

Pilots reported the drone as shockingly close, further emphasizing the growing risks posed by unauthorized drone operations near commercial air traffic.

With incidents like these becoming more frequent, authorities are under increasing pressure to enforce stricter measures to protect air safety and prevent future emergencies.

Ukraine could trade territory in potential peace talks with Russia, Zelensky says

President Volodymyr Zelensky said he planned to exchange territories if U.S. President Donald Trump succeeds in bringing Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table, according to an interview with The Guardian published on Feb. 11.

Ukraine launched a surprise cross-border incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast in August 2024, initially capturing around 1,300 square kilometers (500 square miles) of territory. While Ukrainian forces have since lost roughly half that area, they recently advanced 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) in the region in a new offensive.

The Ukrainian military continues to hold Russian territory that could play "an important part" in future negotiations, Zelensky previously said.

"We will swap one territory for another," Zelensky told The Guardian, without specifying which Russian-occupied land Ukraine would seek in return.

"I don't know, we will see. But all our territories are important, there is no priority," he said.

Talk of ending Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has increased as U.S. President-elect Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20.

The new administration aims to end Russia's war against Ukraine 100 days from inauguration, Keith Kellogg, Trump's special Ukraine peace envoy, said on Jan. 8.

According to sources in Ukraine's President's Office, cited by RBC-Ukraine, Kellogg will visit Ukraine on Feb. 20 after the Munich Security Conference.

On Feb. 7, the U.S. president revealed he aims to meet Zelensky in Washington the following week. He also recently said that the U.S. wants access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals in exchange for aid. Zelensky has responded that Kyiv is open to mining deals with partners.

Trump has also allegedly spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war. The U.S. president told the New York Post he had a concrete plan to end the war, adding, "I hope it's fast. Every day, people are dying. This war is so bad in Ukraine. I want to end this damn thing."

Democrat lawmaker freezes on House floor after suffering 'adverse reaction to medication'.

Rep. John Larson, D-Ct., appeared to freeze mid-remarks on the House floor on Monday. In the middle of impassioned remarks aimed against President Donald Trump and his team, including Elon Musk, Larson took a long pause and when he resumed speaking his speed was noticeably slower. The lawmaker was also slurring his words.

Biden Judge Revises Restrictions on Access to Treasury Payment System – Keeps Ban on DOGE in Place; Treasury Leadership Exempted

A federal judge on Tuesday revised the restrictions on access to the Treasury’s payment system.

As previously reported, corrupt Obama Judge Paul Englemayer on Saturday issued an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) forbidding all of Trump appointees, including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, from accessing Department of Treasury data in response to a lawsuit filed by 19 Democrat state attorneys general.

The case was ultimately assigned to a Biden judge for a decision.

US District Judge Jeannette Vargas, a Biden appointee, responded to the Trump Admin’s emergency motion to dissolve, clarify or modify Englemayer’s ex parte TRO.

The Trump Admin argued in their motion papers that “the TRO contravenes Article II of the Constitution to the extent it applies to political appointees, in particular the Secretary of Treasury and other senior Treasury leadership.”

Judge Vargas kept most of the restrictions in place, but she allowed Secretary Bessent and other in Treasury leadership to access the payment system.

As if a judge is allowed to restrict the Treasury Secretary from accessing treasury data.

“There is nothing in the record to indicate that, prior to January 20, 2025, any statute, regulation, or agency policy prohibited the Secretary of Treasury or any other Senate-confirmed officer within the Treasury Department’s senior leadership from accessing any Treasury Department payment record, payment systems, or any other data systems maintained by the Treasury Department containing personally identifiable information and/or confidential financial information of payees,” Judge Vargas wrote in an 8-page order reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.

Judge Vargas however, kept intact the ban on DOGE workers from accessing the Treasury Department’s payment system and data.

“However, to the extent that Defendants seek to eliminate the TRO’s restriction on access by “political appointees” more broadly, Defs. Mem. at 5-6, the Court denies the motion,” Judge Vargas wrote.

Vargas was recommended to the Biden administration by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand.[4] On March 20, 2024, President Joe Biden announced his intent to nominate Vargas to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.[3] On March 21, 2024, her nomination was sent to the Senate. President Biden nominated Vargas to the seat vacated by Judge Paul G. Gardephe, who assumed senior status on August 9, 2023.[5] On April 17, 2024, a hearing on her nomination was held before the Senate Judiciary Committee.[6] On May 9, 2024, her nomination was reported out of committee by an 11–10 party-line vote.[7] On September 10, 2024, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 52–43 vote.[8] Later that day, her nomination was confirmed by a 51–43 vote.[9] She received her judicial commission on November 6, 2024.[10]

Russia frees jailed US national – White House

Marc Fogel, a former US embassy employee, had been sentenced to 14 years behind bars in Russia on drug trafficking charges

Russia has released US national Marc Fogel following negotiations with President Donald Trump’s advisors, the White House announced on Tuesday. Fogel, a former schoolteacher and US diplomat, was sentenced to 14 years in prison in 2022 on drug trafficking charges.

On Tuesday morning multiple sites reported that a private jet belonging to US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff had entered Russian airspace and landed in Moscow. The US ambassador to Russia Lynne Tracey was later seen by RIA Novosti at the the Russian ministry of foreign affairs.

“Today, President Donald J. Trump and his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff are able to announce that Mr. Witkoff is leaving Russian airspace with Marc Fogel, an American who was detained by Russia,” US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said in a statement, adding that Trump, Witkoff and other presidential advisors negotiated his release as part of “an exchange.”

Moscow has not commented on the development so far. Fogel’s Russian lawyer confirmed his release to TASS, adding that the details are still unclear. The former diplomat has boarded a plane and was expected to contact his legal team in Russia after arriving in the US, the lawyer added.

Top Republican condemns Elon Musk for ‘supplication’ to China in new book

Exclusive: Tom Cotton, Senate intelligence chair, risks angering key Trump ally with harsh words for ‘tech titans’

In a new book, the Arkansas senator Tom Cotton condemns Elon Musk for “chasing Chinese dollars” and having “shamefully supplicated China’s Communist rulers”, in order to advance his own interests as chief executive of companies including Tesla and SpaceX.

It’s an explosive charge from the Republican chair of the powerful Senate intelligence committee, given that Musk, the world’s richest person, is a major donor and close adviser to Donald Trump, now working at the heart of the president’s administration to slash costs and reshape the federal government.

Disapprovingly, Cotton quotes remarks from 2021 in which Musk told Chinese state television he was “very confident about Tesla’s future in China” and “very confident that [the] future of China is gonna be great”.

Trump has long attacked China on trade grounds, implementing tariffs on Chinese products, though he recently changed his position on TikTok, the Chinese-owned social media app that Congress and Joe Biden banned on national security grounds, only for Trump, who previously supported a ban, to order a delay in implementation.

Musk’s interests and investments in China are widely discussed, contributing to speculation that he could be involved in a US purchase of TikTok should its parent company, ByteDance, concede to pressure to sell. Though Musk said in comments released last week he was not currently interested in doing so.

Cotton is a foreign policy hawk and vocal China critic who last month openly criticized Trump’s changing position on TikTok.

The senator’s first book, Only the Strong: Reversing the Left’s Plot to Sabotage American Power, hinted at ambitions for higher office, perhaps after Trump leaves the national political scene. His new book, Seven Things You Can’t Say About China, will be published in the US next week. The Guardian obtained a copy.

In his book Cotton includes Musk in a group of American “tech titans” he accuses of “Chasing Chinese dollars” whom he says “have … shamefully supplicated China’s Communist rulers”.

Cotton writes: “Microsoft founder Bill Gates praised China’s dictator, saying that ‘I am impressed [with] how hard President Xi works … he’s quite amazing.’

“Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg bought copies of Xi’s book The Governance of China and gave them to his employees because ‘I want them to understand socialism with Chinese characteristics.’”

At a White House state dinner honoring Xi the next year [2015], Zuckerberg bizarrely asked the Communist dictator to name his unborn daughter.

Cotton continues: “Elon Musk told China’s state television, ‘I’m very confident that the future of China is going to be great and that China is headed towards being the biggest economy in the world and a lot of prosperity in the future.’”

Musk made those comments in 2021, in an interview with China Central Television.

Four years on, with Musk ensconced in the heart of government, accessing sensitive government systems and classified information with apparent impunity, his Chinese ties are prompting growing concern.

Last month, Russel L Honoré, a retired US army general, used a New York Times column to highlight business interests including $1.4bn in loans from Chinese banks used to build a Tesla factory in Beijing. The headline was stark: “Elon Musk Is a National Security Risk.”

Cotton, however, widens his sights to include US companies outside the tech sector, writing: “Silicon Valley isn’t the only accomplice in China’s crimes: a shocking number of American companies are complicit in the party’s use of Uyghur slave labor.”

Listing companies named by Congress in such context in 2020, Cotton says the US giants “Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Campbell Soup Company, Costco, Patagonia, and Tommy Hilfiger all likely employed forced labor in their supply chains”.

The senator also criticizes Apple for lobbying with Coca-Cola and Nike “against a law blocking imports made with Chinese slave labor”. Nike’s lobbying “should come as no surprise”, he writes, “given that its then CEO, John Donahoe, said in 2021 that ‘Nike is a brand that is of China and for China.’ When it comes to Chinese genocide, maybe Nike’s slogan is ‘Just Do It’.”

Despite writing at length about TikTok – repeatedly advising readers to boycott all Chinese apps and remove them from children’s phones – Cotton does not single out Trump for criticism on his policies and rhetoric concerning TikTok or China.

But the senator does obliquely criticize Trump regarding Chinese investment in US educational institutions, a growing phenomenon which Cotton deplores. ...

‘Australia broke its word’: Trump bombshell

An ominous new detail on Australia has emerged in the executive order signed by Donald Trump today.

Donald Trump has accused Australia of breaking its word on aluminium exports in a new Presidential order issued by the US as he considers offering a carve out for 25 per cent tariffs.

Despite describing the Prime Minister as a “fine man” and confirming he will consider Australia’s pleas for a tariff exemption, the presidential proclamation on the aluminium tariffs says Australia “disregarded a verbal commitment” to limit aluminium exports.

“The volume of US imports of aluminum articles from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Mexico, EU countries, and the UK in 2024 was approximately 14 per cent higher than the average volume of such imports in 2015 through 2017,” the proclamation said.

“The volume of US imports of primary aluminum from Australia has also surged and in 2024 was approximately 103 per cent higher than the average volume for 2015 through 2017.

“Australia has disregarded its verbal commitment to voluntarily restrain its aluminum exports to a reasonable level.”

The Albanese Government remains cautiously optimistic that the US President will offer Australia a better deal despite the US President’s initial claims there will be no exemptions.

The move will simplify tariffs on the metals “so that everyone can understand exactly what it means,” Mr Trump told reporters. “It’s 25 per cent without exceptions or exemptions. That’s all countries, no matter where it comes from, all countries.”

Last year, Australia exported 223,000 tonnes of steel to the US, and 83,000 tonnes of aluminium or around 1 per cent of our exports

Trump singles out Australia after tariff order

Mr Trump has slapped 25 per cent tariffs on steel and aluminum imports, but will give “great consideration” to an exemption for Australia after a phone call with Anthony Albanese.

“This is a big deal,” Trump said while signing the executive order in the Oval Office.

“The beginning of making America rich again.”

The Albanese Government remains confident that a special deal for Australia is in the offing.

“Today I’m simplifying our tariffs on steel and aluminum,” Mr Trump said. “It’s 25 per cent without exceptions or exemptions.”

Australia’s trade minister Don Farrell is planning to fly to the US within days to hold talks with his counterpart over a possible exemption for Australia.

Shortly after signing the tariff order where he insisted there would be no exceptions, he confirmed that Australia might secure a better deal.

“Mr President, the Australian prime minister has said you are considering an exemption for Australia on steel. Is that correct?,” Mr Trump was asked.

“I just spoke to him. Very fine man. He has a surplus,” the US leader replied.

“We have a surplus with Australia. One of the few. And the reason is they buy a lot of airplanes.

“They’re rather far away and they need lots of airplanes. We actually have a surplus. It’s one of the only countries which we do.

“And I told him that that’s something that we’ll give great consideration to.”

‘No Exceptions’:Pentagon Schools Defy Hegseth by Renaming DEI Efforts

In preparation for Donald Trump’s second presidency, the Pentagon’s school system attempted to conceal its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts under a different name.

The Department of Defense Education Activity renamed social-emotional learning as “resilience,” according to a Jan. 6 meeting recording obtained by The Daily Signal.

Pete Hegseth - “The Pentagon will comply, immediately,” Hegseth said. “No exceptions, name-changes, or delays.”

Bullion Bank Leads Team $3,000+

CITI’s new Gold report published February 6th makes a straightforward case: Gold’s rally is being driven by physical demand, not speculation. The bank has hinted at this before in August 2024. It was also about this time other major Bullion Banks unveiled their own new physical demand-skewed models for valuing Gold. In this way, Citi, BOA, and Goldman have been ahead of the curve in sharing their methodology with investing clients

This change in risk metrics was significant as it acknowledged China/BRICS demand and set the table for price-target upgrades regardless of what the Dollar or interest rates did. And that is exactly what we got. Gold and Silver rose dissuaded neither by Dollar strength nor higher rates since those reports in August.

Citi Says More Upside is Coming

As of two days ago, with Citi (and UBS) raising their targets, every major bullion bank has raised its price target to $3,000 now. Two of them, BOA (and today) Citi have raised their soft targets even higher With this latest analysis, Citi joins the $3,000 short term club and describes more specifically the rationale for potentially even higher prices.

Here’s a breakdown of that new report

Bottom Line: Target Raised

Central banks are buying at record levels, investment demand is absorbing nearly all new supply, and concerns over de-dollarization are keeping gold in focus. The report outlines why these trends are likely to continue while also highlighting potential risks from trade policy, interest rates, and economic shifts.

Russia treated US ‘very nicely’ – Trump. The US president hopes the release of an American national will mark the “beginning of a relationship” to end the Ukraine conflict

President Donald Trump has said that Moscow agreed to release Marc Fogel, a former US embassy employee sentenced to 14 years in prison on drug trafficking charges, without asking “much” in return.

Moscow has not yet commented on the development, but US officials have praised the move as a “show of good faith” after US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff’s private jet departed Russia with Fogel on board on Tuesday.

“We were treated very nicely by Russia, actually. I hope that’s the beginning of a relationship where we can end that war and millions of people can stop being killed,” Trump told journalists at the White House later

New York City argues for noncitizen voting law before state’s top court

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s top court was asked Tuesday to reverse a ruling against a law that would allow noncitizens to vote in New York City municipal elections by lawyers who argued city officials acted within their legal powers.

New York City became the first major U.S. city to grant widespread municipal voting rights to noncitizens in January 2022 - though the law approved by the Democrat-led city council was never implemented due to a legal challenge from Republicans. The city law did not grant noncitizens the right to vote in presidential, congressional or state elections.

A trial judge sided with Republican challengers to noncitizen voting in June 2022. And a mid-level state appeals court ruled last year that the law violated the state constitution and a legal requirement to hold a public referendum on the proposal because it changed an election method.

For many years, 8chan was one of the main driving forces behind memes and global politics.

We were able to do the unthinkable.

As time went on, numerous governments began to fear us and they worked together with USAID to take down 8chan.

Now with President Trump's second term we are finally free from the shackles of censorship.

Come celebrate with us by checking out the Official $8CHAN Meme.

A court ruling has paved the way for President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against CBS and its parent company, Paramount Global, to move forward.

U.S. District Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk dismissed CBS and Paramount’s motion to throw out the case as “moot,” following significant updates to the original complaint. The updates include adding Paramount Global as a co-defendant, introducing Representative Ronny Jackson (R-TX) as a co-plaintiff, and boosting the damages sought to a staggering $20 billion.

The court cited precedent stating that an amended complaint supersedes the original complaint, rendering prior motions to dismiss ineffective. The amended complaint introduces additional parties and expands the factual and legal claims.

The lawsuit stems from the controversial “60 Minutes” interview with then-Vice President Kamala Harris that aired in October. Trump’s legal team accuses CBS of “news distortion,” alleging the network edited Harris’s responses to unfairly tilt public perception in her favor during the 2024 Presidential Election.

CBS has countered these claims, insisting that all edits were purely for clarity and brevity, consistent with established journalistic practices. In an effort to address the accusations and an ongoing investigation by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), CBS made the unedited transcripts and footage of the Harris interview publicly available.

The FCC is currently analyzing these materials to assess whether CBS breached its “news distortion” policy. Reports suggest that Paramount Global is contemplating a settlement to sidestep further regulatory fallout, particularly concerning its anticipated merger with Skydance Media.

News distortion involves manipulating or misrepresenting information in news reporting, leading to public misinformation. This manipulation can occur through various methods, such as selective editing, where context is removed or footage is selectively edited to mislead viewers or alter the narrative.

Factual errors, whether unintentional or deliberate, biased reporting that unfairly favors one side of an argument, and the omission of important facts or perspectives can all distort news. These practices can undermine trust in the media and affect public perception of significant issues, making adherence to ethical standards and guidelines crucial for news organizations to maintain credibility.

The raw footage of the 60 Minutes segment showed that many of Harris’s detailed answers were heavily trimmed for the televised segment. For example, a comprehensive 179-word response about Israel was cut down to a mere 20 words.

CBS justified these edits by explaining that it is standard practice for journalists to condense interviews to save time, manage space, or enhance clarity. Interviewer Bill Whitaker asked whether Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is “listening” to the Biden-Harris administration.

“Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by, or a result of, many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region,” Harris said in a preview for the “60 Minutes” interview.

In the interview that aired, the vice president said, “We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”
