June 18, 1983: Sally Ride is the first American woman in space

June 18, 2025

Sally Ride made history aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on June 18, 1983, becoming the first American woman in space 20 years nearly to the day after Soviet Valentina Tereshkova’s flight.

In 1977, as she was finishing her Ph.D. in physics, Ride saw a newspaper ad placed by NASA to recruit astronauts. For the first time, women were allowed to apply.

She was selected from 8,000 applicants, and went through extensive training including parachute jumping, water survival, and adapting to weightlessness; she also contributed to developing the shuttle’s robot arm and served as capsule communicator.

During her mission, Ride operated the mechanical arm, deployed communication satellites, and conducted experiments.

A very private person, she nonetheless handled her fame and inappropriate questions – such as what makeup she was taking to space and whether she would cry if something went wrong – with humor and grace.

To continue to inspire girls to pursue STEM careers, Ride co-founded Sally Ride Science in 2001. She passed away in 2012.

EXCLUSIVE: More than 80 illegal aliens were arrested during a worksite enforcement operation at the Delta Downs Racetrack in Louisiana today. According to ICE, the op was conducted after authorities received intelligence indicating that the businesses operating out of the stables at the racetrack were employing unauthorized workers. All of this comes after a brief pause on worksite enforcement operations at farms, hotels, and restaurants.

“Oftentimes, when we’re conducting these worksite enforcement operations, we uncover other forms of criminal conduct such as document and benefit fraud, money laundering and human trafficking,” said ICE HSI New Orleans Special Agent in Charge Eric DeLaune.

EU to abandon new Russian oil price cap plan – von der Leyen

Brussels had planned to lower the cap on Russian crude from $60 to $45 per barrel in the latest package of sanctions

The EU has stepped back from its proposal to reduce the price cap on Russian seaborne oil sales, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, as cited by Agence France-Presse.The move was intended to be a major component of the bloc’s latest package of sanctions against Russia.

Following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, the EU and G7 nations introduced a price cap and embargo on imports of crude oil and refined petroleum products from Russia, aiming to stem the flow of revenue to Moscow. The European Commission had proposed lowering the cap to $45 per barrel from the current $60 rate.

The current limit “had little effect, but in the last days, we have seen that the oil price has risen [and] the cap in place does serve its function,”von der Leyen said on the sidelines of the G7 in Alberta, Canada, as cited by the news agency. “So for the moment, there’s little pressure on lowering the oil price cap.”

Global prices for crude had dropped below the G7 cap, but surged shortly after Israel began its missile attack against Iran last week. Brent crude for August delivery was trading at $76.36 per barrel on Wednesday, while West Texas Intermediate for July delivery reached $74.82 per barrel.

The European Commission unveiled its 18th package of sanctions on Russia last week, targeting energy exports, infrastructure, and financial institutions.

In addition to proposing a lower oil price cap, the measures, framed as a tool to pressure Moscow into ending the Ukraine conflict, include a ban on any future use of the sabotaged Nord Stream pipeline, restrictions on imports of refined products made from Russian crude, and sanctions on 77 vessels which the West considers part of the so-called Russian ‘shadow fleet’ allegedly used to bypass oil trade restrictions.

The sanctions package still requires unanimous approval from all 27 EU member states to take effect.

On Monday, Bloomberg reported, citing sources,that Brussels faced opposition to lowering the Russian oil price cap not only because of the recent price spike, but also due to US resistance. The news agency saidthe final decision rested with US President Donald Trump, who left the G7 gathering early dueto escalating Iran-Israel tensions.

Moscow has dismissed the sanctions as illegitimate and counterproductive. Russian President VladimirPutin has set the lifting of sanctions as a condition for resolving the Ukraine conflict.

(First of all de Leyen doesn’t even belong there, the EU is not a country. But I suppose there was a lot of disagreement when Trump was there.They are so afraid of Trump, it’s kind of funny.)

Canadian state media explains absence of G7 Ukraine statement

Washington reportedly rejected a proposed text over concerns it could jeopardize the Ukraine peace process

G7 leaders did not issue a joint statement on the Ukraine conflict following the group’s recent summit in Canada,because the US refused to sign off unless it was “watered down,” Canadian state broadcaster CBC and other media outlets have reported.

The summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, ran from Sunday to Tuesday.US President Donald Trump left the gathering early, and did not meet with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky, who also attended.

On Tuesday, CBC cited an anonymous official from Canadian Prime MinisterMark Carney’s office admitting that plans for a group statement on Ukraine were dropped.

The Americans reportedly opposed wording referencing Russia, due to concerns that it could jeopardize US-brokered diplomatic efforts to settle the conflict between Moscow and Kiev.

The Canadian PM’s office later rejected the reports, with its spokesperson Emily Williams insistingthat “no proposed joint statement regarding Ukraine was distributed. Canada’s intention was always for the important language to be a part of the G7 Chairs’ Summary Statement, and it was.” (NATO also reworded their statement in fear of President Trump’s position, andhe would get mad at them. KEKThe G7 meeting was a bust because they now have the stupidest leaders that just hate Russia. Thats all they try to fixate on. And Trump denying Zelensky a meeting was the best. The little shit got mad at Trump. Z doesn’t even belong there.)

Carney’s Summary statement said that the “G7 leaders expressed support for President Trump’s efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine”and backed Kiev’s call for “an unconditional ceasefire.”

Russia has repeatedly rejected Ukraine’s sudden demand, calling it a ploy to allow Ukrainian forces regroup and resupply.

According to Carney, the G7 is “resolute in exploring all options to maximize pressure on Russia, including financial sanctions.”

Commenting on the summit on Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saidthat the event was “rather unremarkable and meaningless.”

Indonesia's Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano eruption seen from space

17 Jun 2025, 11:44 PM GMT-7

Lewotobi Laki-Laki and Perempuan

The Lewotobi twin volcano is located on the eastern reaches of the island of Flores, Indonesia, approximately 800 kilometres east of Bali, Indonesia, and 1,000 kilometres northwest of Darwin, Australia.

The two peaks that make up the volcano complex are Lewotobi Laki-Laki and Lewotobi Perempuan, or male and female Lewotobi, respectively.

Of the husband-and-wife pair, Laki-Laki has been most active recently.

Ongoing eruptions since 2023 have displaced thousands of people, with a major eruption in November 2024 killing 9 people, destroying homes and disrupting international aviation.

Laki-Laki erupted again in March and May of 2025, once again displacing people and disrupting aviation.

The Pacific ring of fire encompasses the Indonesian archipelago, with 130 active volcanoes in the country.

Over 1,000 eruptions have been recorded over the course of its history, with a deep cultural and spiritual lore attached to local volcanoes.

Aviation Code Red

At 5:35pm local time on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, Laki-Laki erupted once again, sending a volcanic ash plume high into the atmosphere.

While there are no reports of deaths or damage to property, the ash reached over 10 kilometres into the atmosphere.

The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin has issued an Aviation Code Red for the area, prompting domestic and international flights to avoid the region.

No major airport disruptions have affected nearby tourism centres like Bali, but ash continues to be expelled into the atmosphere at this stage.

The dangers of volcanic ash to aviation

Volcanic ash is made of small pieces of rock, crystal and glass. Aircraft unfortunate enough to fly through volcanic ash suffer from abrasion similar to sand blasting, which is damaging to windshields and the leading edges of the wings.

Glass particles in the ash melts in the engine, which can block the air flow and cause the engine to stall when the molten glass re-solidifies in the turbine.

Ash clouds are often projected tens of thousands of metres into the atmosphere over broad areas surrounding the eruption.

Since most commercial jets cruise at around 8,000 to 11,000 metres, this makes them highly susceptible to damage from ash clouds.

The hazard was little understood until 1982 when a British Airways jet flying to Australia lost power in all four engines over Indonesia before regaining power at a lower altitude (where the atmosphere was free of ash).

The problem occurred again as the jet ascended, so the pilot descended again and eventually pulled off a difficult emergency landing in Jakarta with minimal visibility due to the sand blasting effect on the windshield.

Streets to space: Auto giant Honda stuns world with reusable rocket launch in Japan

Updated: Jun 18, 2025 03:10 AM EST

Honda’s name has long been tied to innovation on the ground, and it is famous for its powerful engines and automobiles.

However, the company is now shifting gears, setting its sights on the competitive space domain. The Tokyo-based company has already made a bold move.

In a surprising announcement yesterday, Honda R&D Co., Ltd. – the research arm of Honda Motor Company – revealed it successfully launched and landed its experimental reusable rocket.

“This test marked the first launch and landing test conducted by Honda with an aim to demonstrate key technologies essential for rocket reusability, such as flight stability during ascent and descent, as well as landing capability,” the company’s announcement stated.

Experimental rocket test

Honda developed the experimental reusable rocket on its own. The spacecraft is 20.6 feet (6.3 meters) in length, 85 centimeters (33.4 inches) in diameter, and has a dry weight of 900 kg (1984 pounds).

The prototype vehicle soared to an altitude of nearly 889 feet (271 meters) at Honda’s facility in Taiki Town, Japan, on June 17.

And then, in a display of precision engineering, it landed with accuracy, within just 37 centimeters of its target. The entire flight lasted a swift 56.6 seconds, providing invaluable data for future development.

So, why is this so significant? Reusability is the holy grail of cost-effective, frequent space travel flights.

This successful test is a massive step towards Honda’s ambitious goal of achieving suborbital spaceflight by 2029. A suborbital launch reaches the edge of space but doesn’t achieve orbit.

Before this, the car maker giant aims to demonstrate mastery over key elements like flight stability during both ascent and descent, and pinpoint landing capability.

“Although Honda rocket research is still in the fundamental research phase, and no decisions have been made regarding commercialization of these rocket technologies,” the press statement noted.

“Honda will continue making progress in the fundamental research with a technology development goal of realizing technological capability to enable a suborbital launch by 2029.”

Reusable rocket race

This isn’t a sudden leap into the unknown for Honda.

The company first hinted at reusable rocket plans in 2021, and late last year, they even established a Space Development Division in the U.S. to foster collaboration.

However, the company had kept its spaceflight developments under wraps for years.

Honda is not the only player in this burgeoning field. Reportedly, Japan’s government is aggressively promoting its space industry, aiming to double its size to over $55 billion by the early 2030s through active subsidies to private companies.

This has ignited a commercial space race, attracting other major automotive players like Toyota, which aims to boost the mass production of launch vehicles.

Over the past decade, reusable launch vehicles, most notably SpaceX’s Falcon 9, have completely transformed commercial space missions.

This trend has also spurred development among U.S. competitors like Blue Origin, and companies in China and Europe are also pursuing reusable rocket designs. China tested a SpaceX-inspired rocket last year in the Gobi Desert.

Earlier, Interesting Engineering reported that a Japanese company also announced the development of a “winged reusable rocket.”

Adding to this global momentum, Tokyo-based startup Innovative Space Carrier recently announced plans to test a prototype reusable rocket in the United States in December, utilizing an American engine.

Meanwhile, Honda’s Global CEO Toshihiro Mibe believes that the company’s rocket research is a meaningful endeavor that “leverages Honda’s technological strengths.”

“Honda has made another step forward in our research on reusable rockets with this successful completion of a launch and landing test,” he said.

Northern lights and glowing noctilucent clouds collide in a rare night sky show over Alberta

June 17, 2025

Nature served up a stunning double feature in the skies over Alberta, Canada, on June 9.

Aurora chaser and photographer Harlan Thomas (@TheAuroraGuy) was about 18.5 miles (30 kilometers) north of Calgary along a rural stretch he calls "The Twisted Pond Road" when the surprise display of both the northern lights and noctilucent clouds (NLCs) took to the sky.

"It was quite the surprise to see the aurora, as there was really no data to justify the geomagnetic conditions," Thomas told Space.com in an email.

"It was even more surprising to see the NLCs, as they had to overcome wildfire smoke from the Northwest and a waxing gibbous moon that was 84% full."

NLCs are Earth's highest clouds, appearing as thin wispy blue or silver streaks about 47 to 53 miles (76 to 85 km) above the planet's surface.

They form in summer when water vapor drifts into the mesosphere and crystallizes around meteoric dust. Their delicate glow is often visible from high latitudes shortly after sunset or before sunrise.

"There's nothing quite like seeing the aurora borealis and noctilucent clouds at the same time," Thomas told spaceweather.com. "It's the perfect combination."

Thomas captured the scene using a Nikon D810 camera with a 50mm lens, shooting 1/30-second exposures at ISO 3200 with one-second intervals to create both a timelapse and a still image.

Surprisingly, this wasn't the first time Thomas had witnessed such a spectacle. In 2020, he not only captured NLCs and aurora but also a comet!

"On July 14, 2020, at the height of Covid, I captured the NLC's, Neowise [comet] and the aurora," Thomas told Space.com.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time!

The NLC season typically lasts through August, so skywatchers in northern latitudes may yet catch their own glimpse of this dazzling duo.

Astronomers capture the most intricate picture of a galaxy in a thousand colors ever seen

June 18, 2025

Astronomers have obtained a stunning new image of the Sculptor Galaxy, painted in thousands of colors that reveals the intricacies of galactic systems.

The incredible image of the galaxy — located around 11 million light-years away and also known as NGC 253 — was collected with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument of the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile.

In addition to providing a galaxy-wide view of the Sculptor Galaxy, the image shows intricate details of NGC 253. As such, it could help to reveal the finer details of the poorly understood and complex systems that are galaxies.

"The Sculptor Galaxy is in a sweet spot," team leader Enrico Congiu of the Universidad de Chile said in a statement."

It is close enough that we can resolve its internal structure and study its building blocks with incredible detail, but at the same time, big enough that we can still see it as a whole system."

Covering 65,000 light-years of the 90,000-light-year-wide galaxy, zooming in on the finer details of the Sculptor Galaxy to create this image required 100 exposures collected over 50 hours of MUSE observing time.

That effort was justified by the unprecedented detail revealed in the Sculptor Galaxy VLT image.

"We can zoom in to study individual regions where stars form at nearly the scale of individual stars, but we can also zoom out to study the galaxy as a whole," said team member Kathryn Kreckel, from Heidelberg University in Germany.

An initial examination of the image has already paid dividends for the team. Within the image, they have been able to discover 500 new planetary nebulae, shells of gas and dust that are ejected from stars like the sun after they "die" and enter a "puffed out" red giant phase.

This is pretty extraordinary, because detections like this beyond the Milky Way and its immediate neighbors are fairly rare.

"Beyond our galactic neighborhood, we usually deal with fewer than 100 detections per galaxy," said team member and Heidelberg University researcher Fabian Scheuermann.

The planetary nebulae — which, despite the name, have nothing to do with planets — could bear fruit in the future, as they can be used by astronomers to make distance measurements.

"Finding the planetary nebulae allows us to verify the distance to the galaxy — a critical piece of information on which the rest of the studies of the galaxy depend," explained team member and Ohio State University researcher Adam Leroy.

That's not to say that the team is finished with this image of the Sculptor Galaxy just yet. The next step for the astronomers will be to explore how hot gas flows through NGC 253, changing composition and helping to create new stars.

"How such small processes can have such a big impact on a galaxy whose entire size is thousands of times bigger is still a mystery," Congiu concluded.

Venturi Space announces European lunar rover design

June 18, 2025

PARIS — Venturi Space, a company that has partnered with Astrolab on lunar rover concepts, unveiled an all-European rover design it hopes to offer to European space agencies.

The Monaco-based company unveiled the rover concept, called Mona Luna, at an event during the Paris Air Show June 16. The robotic rover, 2.5 meters long and 1.64 meters wide, weighs 750 kilograms.

Mona Luna was designed by Venturi Space as a concept to offer to the European Space Agency and French space agency CNES, along with potential commercial customers, as a larger rover better able to handle the lunar terrain and also survive the lunar night.

“On the moon we have a lot of slopes and loose soil, so you need an ATV,” or all-terrain vehicle, said Antonio Delfino, director of space affairs at Venturi Space, in an interview. “Nobody at the moment is doing an ATV.”

The rover features suspension and steering systems better able to handle lunar terrain, he said, and is designed to travel at up to 20 kilometers per hour.

Those systems and other key components are all housed inside the rover, kept as close to the center as possible for better thermal management during the extreme temperature swings between lunar day and night.

The size of the rover is also critical, he added. “In the future, if you want to mine the moon, explore the moon, you need a massive rover,” he said.

“When we talk about a massive rover, the technology addressed with it is totally different from the technology for a small rover.”

Mona Luna uses battery and “hyper-deformable” wheel technologies that Venturi is also supplying to Astrolab, an American company that is developing lunar rovers, including for NASA’s Lunar Terrain Vehicle (LTV) program.

Delfino noted the technologies used on Mona Luna are entirely European and that there is a “wall” in place to separate work on that rover with Astrolab’s projects.

Astrolab, though, displayed models of its rovers in the same exhibit space at the show.

Venturi has received some support from ESA for key technologies needed for the rover.

The company is hoping to win support for a rover development project at ESA’s ministerial conference in late November, when member states will decide on funding for agency programs for the next three years.

Delfino argued a rover like Mona Luna fit a gap in Europe’s exploration plans. Mona Lisa is designed to be delivered to the lunar surface on ESA’s Argonaut lander, which would launch on an Ariane 64.

“In Europe at the moment there is no program to explore the moon with a rover,” he said. “There is the Argonaut lander and we have the Ariane 64, but a rover is missing, so we are pushing very hard to convince them this is important.”

One approach to develop the rover could be a public private partnership, similar to what NASA is pursuing with the LTV program where companies will pay a portion of its costs.

He said he mentioned this to Josef Aschbacher, ESA director general, and Daniel Neuenschwander, the agency’s director of human and robotic exploration, and got a positive reception. “It will be easier for them to decide to go forward on this.”

He said private companies have shown an interest in the rover as well. “We have some contact with private industry that is interested in Europe,” he said. “And, why not, also outside of Europe.”

CEOs push back on proposed cuts to commercial satellite imaging programs

June 17, 2025

The heads of leading U.S. satellite imaging firms are urging Congress to reject proposed budget cuts to commercial remote sensing programs, warning the reductions could undermine national security and reverse years of progress in integrating private-sector innovation into intelligence and defense operations.

In a letter sent June 16 to key lawmakers on intelligence, armed services, and appropriations committees, the CEOs of Maxar Technologies, Planet, BlackSky, Iceye US, Capella Space, and ground systems provider KSAT called proposed cuts to the National Reconnaissance Office’s (NRO) commercial imagery programs “sweeping” and misaligned with long-standing bipartisan policy.

“As leaders in America’s remote sensing industry, we are deeply concerned that the Fiscal Year 2026 budget proposes sweeping cuts to commercial remote sensing programs,” the executives wrote.

The pushback follows reporting from SpaceNews that the Trump administration’s 2026 budget proposal includes a roughly 30% reduction — or about $130 million — in funding for the NRO’s procurement of electro-optical imagery under its Electro-Optical Commercial Layer (EOCL) program.

That program supports long-term contracts with Maxar, BlackSky, and Planet to provide high-resolution satellite images to the U.S. government.

The administration’s proposal would also eliminate funding entirely for the acquisition of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery — a type of remote sensing that gained new relevance after Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine as SAR can penetrate cloud cover and operate in all weather conditions.

“The FY26 budget request entirely removes funding for a Commercial Synthetic Aperture Radar program, makes significant reductions to the Electro-Optical Commercial Layer (EOCL) program, and disregards funding for future commercial radio frequency (RF) acquisitions at scale,” the CEOs wrote, arguing that these actions contradict both recent executive branch guidance and long-standing congressional mandates.

They cited recent policy guidance from the Pentagon that emphasizes greater commercial integration, noting that President Trump’s executive orders and the Pentagon’s 2024 Commercial Space Integration Strategy call for expanded use of commercial technologies for national security purposes.

Government-owned vs. commercial

The letter also frames the cuts as strategically short-sighted in the context of competition with China. “Congress has laid out clear mandates to integrate commercial products and services into defense and intelligence operations.

Those directives must not be ignored by bureaucratic apathy or institutional bias favoring government-owned systems,” the executives wrote, highlighting a broader tension within the intelligence community over whether to rely more heavily on commercial satellite capabilities or government-owned systems.

The NRO, which builds and operates the nation’s spy satellites, has increasingly turned to commercial providers in recent years as private companies have launched hundreds of small imaging satellites that can provide high-frequency coverage.

The companies behind the letter said they have poured capital into satellite constellations and infrastructure over the past decade, betting that sustained government demand would support both national security needs and the growth of a globally competitive U.S. industry.

“Our companies have invested billions of dollars in space and ground technologies, created highly skilled jobs, and deployed hundreds of satellites that now underpin critical defense, intelligence, and civil missions,” the CEOs said.

The cuts represent a “retrenchment from adopting commercial remote sensing capabilities,” they argue, and risk long-term damage to public-private models that have been adopted across the U.S. government.

The letter follows similar criticism from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which earlier this month warned the cuts could jeopardize America’s technological lead.

“Preserving and expanding investment in commercial remote sensing programs is crucial to maintaining America’s strategic edge and ensuring the safety and security of our nation and its allies,” wrote John Neal, executive director of space policy at the Chamber.

Maxar partners with Array Labs to expand 3D imaging technology

June 18, 2025

Maxar Intelligence announced an agreement with radar imaging startup Array Labs to secure capacity on its constellation set to launch in 2026.

Array Labs, based in Palo Alto, California, is developing a 3D radar imaging constellation designed to operate in clusters, with swarms of small satellites working together to capture simultaneous images of the same location on Earth.

Using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors, Array Labs plans to capture high-resolution 3D imagery of the Earth regardless of lighting or weather conditions.

The partnership represents Maxar’s latest effort to diversify beyond its traditional electro-optical satellite imaging business.

Westminster, Colorado-based Maxar Intelligence operates a constellation of high-resolution electro-optical imaging satellites but also partners with other remote sensing companies to integrate their data into its products.

The partnership with Array Labs aligns with Maxar’s goal of adding more 3D data to its Earth observation products, said Peter Wilczynski, chief product officer at Maxar Intelligence.

Maxar’s goal, he said, is to build a “living globe, a highly accurate, real-time 3D representation of Earth.”

SAR technology allows satellites to capture images through clouds and darkness, providing data collection capabilities that complement traditional optical satellites which require clear skies and daylight.

The technology has become increasingly important for commercial Earth observation as customers demand more frequent and reliable data collection.

Array Labs launched its first two prototype satellites in 2024.

The company plans to launch its next demonstration mission in 2026, followed by the deployment of its first full production cluster — comprising four formation-flying satellites designed for commercial 3D imagery and large-scale mapping.

Under the agreement, the two companies will work to integrate Array Labs data into the Maxar 3D product line.

“This collaboration will help to change how the world accesses, understands, and derives value from 3D data,” said Isaac Robledo, cofounder of Array Labs.

“By combining our unique space systems and collection capabilities with Maxar’s global terrain products, we are expanding the aperture of what’s possible with 3D data.”

The Array Labs partnership follows Maxar’s strategy of building what it calls a “virtual constellation” by partnering with satellite operators, including SAR imaging company Umbra and multi-spectral satellite operator Satellogic.

Trump critic 'stunned' by pardon from president: 'Didn't know it was coming'

A disgraced Democratic politician says he was as surprised as anyone by his recent pardon by president Donald Trump.

P.G. Sittenfeld, a former Cincinnati city councilman who served four-and-a-half months in federal prison on federal corruption charges, sent a Fathers Day letter to friends and family to explain how he got a reprieve from the president he had criticized throughout his political career, reported the Business Courier.

“I did not know this pardon was coming. And when I first heard the news, I was as stunned as I suspect you were,” Sittenfeld wrote in a letter obtained by the publication. “Our family is overjoyed, deeply relieved and profoundly grateful that my freedom is secure and that we are and will remain together.”

Planting your country's flag in enemy territory

Planting a country's flag in enemy territory is a potent symbolic act, steeped in historical and psychological significance, that transcends mere physical presence. It represents a bold assertion of dominance, victory, or claim over a contested space, often serving as a visual proclamation of military or ideological triumph. The flag, as a national emblem, embodies a country's identity, values, and sovereignty, soraising it in hostile territory signals not just territorial control but also a challenge to the enemy's authority.Iconic examples, like the Soviet flag hoisted over the Reichstag in 1945 or the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima, capture this symbolism vividly, becoming enduring images of victory that rally domestic morale and project power globally.Beyond conquest, the act can carry a defiant message, marking a foothold in the face of opposition and staking a claim to legitimacy, whether temporary or aspirational.

Symbolically,planting a flag also serves as a psychological weapon, designed to demoralize adversaries and galvanize supporters.It transforms a patch of ground into a stage for propaganda, where the flag's presence communicates resilience, superiority, or even provocation. In modern contexts, such as geopolitical disputes over islands or borders, planting a flag can escalate tensions, signaling intent to assert influence or challenge international norms. However, the act is not without risks—it can be seen as disrespectful or imperialistic, potentially inflaming conflicts or alienating neutral parties. Whether in war, exploration, or diplomacy, the flag’s placement in enemy territory remains a universal gesture of power, ambition, and defiance, carrying weight far beyond the cloth itself.

U.S. Flag on Iwo Jima (Japan, 1945)

Context: During the Pacific Theater of World War II, the Battle of Iwo Jima was a brutal campaign to capture the Japanese island for its strategic airfields.

Event:On February 23, 1945, U.S. Marines raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi, the island’s highest point, after intense combat.The first flag was replaced with a larger one, captured in Joe Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima.

Significance: The flag-raising symbolized American resilience and progress toward victory in the Pacific. Though the battle continued for weeks,the image galvanized U.S. public support, boosted war bond sales, and became an enduring symbol of Marine Corps valor.

Impact: The photograph shaped American national identity and wartime propaganda, though it also sparked debate over its staging and the battle’s high cost (nearly 7,000 U.S. deaths).

Best defense: A good ‘offensive’

June 17, 2025

Members of 4th Space Operations Squadron multiple U.S. Air Force security forces units and other military units stationed along Colorado’s Front Range participated in a military exercise at Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site last week.

In the early hours on a cold, rainy Tuesday, security forces members stood ready at Peterson Space Force Base military passenger terminal to board two 302nd Airlift Wing C-130 Hercules aircraft.

Their mission — deploy to a remote U.S. Army base in southeastern Colorado in support of the Front Range Offensive 25-1 exercise.

However, due to the weather conditions and the status of the dirt runway at PCMS, the flights were canceled, and members were then bussed to the installation, located two and a half hours from Colorado Springs.

“You can, to the smallest detail, plan an exercise a year in advance and things can still drastically change when you get to the day of,” said Master Sgt. Travis Beatty, 50th SFS Logistics and Resources superintendent.

“Things like weather have a profound effect on operations. That’s why we build in contingencies — provisions for possible events or circumstances.

“The Front Range Offensive 25-1 is an exercise testing a combination of tactical planning, development of junior leaders, Agile Combat Employment techniques, ground combat tactics and enhancing the interoperability of Air Force and Space Force units at the squadron levels,” Beatty said.

“This was our first opportunity to exercise in an austere environment with Airmen and Guardians conducting their missions codependently while also executing early phase operations in a contested environment with no established infrastructure.”

The Front Range Offensive 25-1 marks the second time the 50th Security Forces Squadron has sponsored this event.

The first exercise was a proof of concept with 29 total personnel consisting of mostly security forces, one contracting and one U.S. Space Force member from the 2nd Navigational Warfare Squadron — responsible for operating the Global Positioning System satellite constellation.

This iteration not only grew in scale to incorporate 65 total personnel but also to include more specialties.

While security forces are protecting the area, 4 SOPS is simulating real-world, expeditionary environment operations, said Spc. 4 Jennifer Guinn, 4 SOPS mobile military satellite communications operator.

“Our unit is a mobile mission — a packaged-up extra terminal supporting the MILSATCOM constellation that can deploy just about anywhere,” Guinn said.

“Our people have commercial driver's licenses to move equipment, can stand up a mobile operations console in remote conditions and they are weapons-qualified and trained to set up a perimeter and defend mission assets, if necessary.

Poll: Majority of Americans Oppose US War on Iran, Including 53% of Trump Voters

The survey also found that 61 percent of Republican-identified respondents supported U.S. negotiations with Iran.

hile it is widely known that American progressives overwhelmingly oppose the war on Iran at which President Donald Trump is increasingly hinting, new polling published Tuesday revealed that a thin majority of respondents who voted for the Republican president are also against U.S. involvement in the widening Israel-Iran war.

According to the Economist/YouGov survey of 1,512 U.S. adults conducted between June 13-16, 60% of all respondents oppose U.S. involvement in the war, while just 16% supported military action and 24% were unsure. Among those who voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris for president last year, 71% opposed war on Iran.

So did 53% of Trump voters. In fact, a majority of respondents across all gender, race, age, and income categories opposed military action against Iran.

The survey also found that more Republican-identified respondents supported U.S. negotiations with Iran than did Democrats, 61% to 58%. Fifty-six percent of all those surveyed back talks, while 18% oppose negotiations.

Pennsylvania lawmaker proposes making Space Force license plates

Updated: Jun 18, 2025 / 06:56 AM EDT

A Pennsylvania lawmaker says he will soon introduce legislation for the creation of Space Force license plates.

Members of the armed forces in the state of Pennsylvania are offered special license plates based on their corresponding branch.

Members of the Navy, Army, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard have special plates, but the Space Force does not.

According to the memo, Space Force was founded on December 20, 2019, as the sixth armed force of the United States. However, their members in the Commonwealth have yet to receive a custom plate.

State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff (R-171) plans to introduce a bill to change that. The memo says members of the Space Force in Pennsylvania are members of the United States Military and are deserving of recognition for their service.

The bill has not yet been introduced.

Midair emergencies force four Boeing Dreamliners to divert India flights

17 Jun, 2025 12:15

Four Boeing 787 Dreamliners on international flights to India have been forced to turn back due to technical issues over the past few days, according to media reports.

On Sunday, a Hyderabad-bound Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt returned to the German airport midway through the journey based on a suspected bomb threat, according to sources quoted by the media outlet India Today.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Hyderabad airport received a message that the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was returning to Frankfurt after having taken off.

On Monday, Air India flight AI315 was forced to return to Hong Kong just 15 minutes after taking off, Reuters reported.

The airline confirmed the incident, citing a “technical issue” as the reason for the return, but did not provide further details.

The Boeing 787-8 aircraft successfully landed without incident, and alternate arrangements were made for the passengers.

Also on Monday, a British Airways flight carrying 214 passengers to Chennai was forced to dump fuel and return to London after the pilots reported a suspected technical issue, Business Insider reported.

“The aircraft returned to Heathrow as a standard precaution after reports of a technical issue,” a BA spokesperson told the website, adding that there was no “emergency landing.”

In a similar incident, passengers on an Air India San Francisco-Mumbai flight were asked to deplane in Kolkata on Tuesday after a snag was detected in the left engine during a scheduled stop, delaying the onward journey by hours, an India Today report said.

These developments come just days after an Air India 787-8 crashed shortly after takeoff in Ahmedabad, killing 290 people.

Officials told the Associated Press that early indications suggest the aircraft may not have been correctly configured for takeoff.

There have been numerous complaints, whistleblower revelations and concerns regarding the safety of Boeing 787s, according to media reports.

In 2019, a New York Times report revealed that John Barnett, a former quality manager who retired in 2017, had filed a whistleblower complaint alleging subpar work on the 787s.

In January 2024, another whistleblower alleged that the Dreamliner’s fuselage had improper connections, with gaps that could cause it to break apart in flight.

Hegseth deploys additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth deployed an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles.

In a Tuesday night press release, U.S. Northern Command announced the deployment of the California National Guard troops under a Title 10 status to protect federal property in the city. Task Force 51, as the force in Los Angeles is designated, previously consisted of roughly 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines, deployed last week in response to anti-ICE riots in the city.

“As with other units identified to support this mission, the brigade will not directly participate in civilian law enforcement activities,” the NORTHCOM statement said regarding the new deployment. “The activation of the 49th is intended to provide Task Force 51 with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency.”

“The soldiers are completing training on de-escalation, crowd control, and use of the standing rules for the use of force in advance of joining the federal protection mission,” it continued, adding that the troops wouldn’t conduct law enforcement activities such as arrests. “Their focus is the safety and continuity of federal functions.”

Texas Wants to Make It Easier for People to Own Sawed-Off Shotguns

2A winning!

Texas is poised to make it easier for residents in the state to own short-barreled shotguns and rifles, rolling back yet another firearm regulation in a state that has experienced some of the deadliest mass shootings in the country in the last decade.

Texas Senate Bill 1596 would decriminalize short-barreled long guns, including sawed-off shotguns. Texas defines these weapons, which are currently illegal in the state, absent a federal permit, as “a rifle with a barrel length of less than 16 inches or a shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches, or any weapon made from a shotgun or rifle if, as altered, it has an overall length of less than 26 inches.”

No evidence of nuclear threat from Iran – ex-UK ambassador

West Jerusalem claims Tehran was on the brink of obtaining nuclear weapons to justify the latest attacks

There’s no evidence that Iran poses a nuclear threat to Israel, former UK Ambassador to Iran Richard Dalton has said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Iran was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons shortly after Israel launched air strikes on Iranian territory last week.

Speaking to Sky News last week,Dalton said, “There is no evidence in the public domain” that Iran was on the brink of nuclear weaponization.

He noted that US intelligence shows “no change in the basic assessment” that Tehran has decided “to develop nuclear weapons in accordance with their own defense doctrine, which is to eschew weapons of mass destruction.”

“So, we are entitled to disbelieve Netanyahu’s claims that there was some recent change in Iranian policy and behavior until evidence is put in the public domain,” Dalton said.

Israel began bombing Iran last Friday, claiming that the country was nearing the completion of a nuclear bomb. Iran denied the accusations and responded to the Israeli military operation with waves of drone and missile strikes on the Jewish state.

According to a Washington-based Iranian human rights group, the Israeli assault has so far killed 585 people, including 239 civilians, and wounded more than 1,300. Israel’s Government Press Office reported on Wednesday that Iran’s retaliatory missile attacks claimed the lives of 24 people, with 804 injured. It added that around 3,800 people have been evacuated from various areas due to ongoing tensions.

In 2015, Tehran signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, an international accord with the US and European powers that limited uranium enrichment in exchange for sanctions relief. In 2018, then-US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from the deal, reimposing all sanctions and prompting Iran to gradually move away from its own commitments. Since then, the Iranian authorities have granted foreign inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency only limited access to its nuclear facilities.

The Islamic Republic currently enriches uranium to 60% purity, far above the 3.67% cap set under the now-defunct agreement.

Russia has condemned Israel’s airstrikes and called for deescalation,warning that strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure could trigger a “nuclear catastrophe.” In a statement on Tuesday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said Israel’s attacks on peaceful atomic sites violate international law and threaten global stability. (All middle eastern all agree with this statement.)

Former Intel Officer Drops Truth Bomb – CIA and ODNI Covered Up 2020 CCP Election Interference, Fired Him for Speaking Out

A former National Intelligence Officer for Cyber under President Trump and Joe Biden has come forward with explosive allegations: the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) deliberately buried evidence of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) interference in the 2020 presidential election—and fired him when he refused to play along.

The whistleblower’s damning post came in response to General Mike Flynn’s tweet Monday questioning why foreign election interference by the CCP wasn’t exposed back in 2020:

“So there was foreign interference by the CCP in the 2020 presidential election. Who was running the USIC at that time and why didn’t this get exposed back then? @CIADirector.

Can we get four years of our lives back!?” Flynn asked, tagging President Trump and former DNI Tulsi Gabbard.”

Former intel officer Christopher Porter didn’t mince words in his reply:

“Sir, I WAS in charge of election analysis and DID call it out. CIA and ODNI tried to cover up the evidence and when I wouldn’t go along with it, terminated me.”

According to Boston College:

From 2019 to June 2022 he was the National Intelligence Officer for Cyber, leading the US Intelligence Community’s analysis of foreign cyber threats and threats to US elections. As a member of the National Intelligence Council, Porter oversaw production of National Intelligence Estimates, was the primary cyber intelligence advisor to the Director of National Intelligence, developed the analytic portion of the Unified Intelligence Strategy, and lead the IC Cyber Analysis Leadership Council made up of the other cyber leaders of CIA, FBI, NSA, DOD, and other agencies.

Serving under both the Trump and Biden Administrations, he frequently briefed and wrote for the President of the United States, senior Cabinet officials, the Gang of Eight and other legislative leaders in the US House of Representatives and Senate, and civilian and military cyber leaders throughout the executive branch.

This revelation is gaining steam following Monday’s bombshell from FBI Director Kash Patel, who confirmed that newly declassified documents reveal alarming CCP involvement in a scheme to flood the 2020 election with fake mail-in ballots. The ballots were allegedly backed by fraudulent voter registrations and Chinese-manufactured fake driver’s licenses.

Autonomous fighter drones join the front lines in USAF operations

June 18, 2025

The U.S. Air Force is increasingly referring to its next generation of unmanned aircraft as “fighter drones,” as the service prepares to integrate these vehicles alongside traditional fighter jets in combat missions.

The Air Force’s Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) program includes two separate vehicles under development by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (GA-ASI) and Anduril, both designed to operate as combat-ready UAVs.

These UAVs are being built to complement existing fighter fleets, providing additional capabilities and support during operations.

According to Air Force officials, the new aircraft are expected to play a key role in future air combat by flying alongside piloted fighters and taking on a variety of tactical missions.

One is an all-stealth design for undetected penetration of enemy defenses; the other is a sleek fighting companion.

It appears the General Atomics YFQ-42A/CCA drew inspiration from the earlier stealth capabilities of the Avenger UAV, which has been in flight for more than a decade.

This aircraft has a maximum ceiling of over 50,000 ft, flies at 400 mph, has around 15 hours of endurance and is powered by a built-in turbofan engine.

One notable feature of the CCA version is its split, sloping “tailfin” and rounded design, along with a top fuselage air intake that shields the power plant from potential radar signals – all stealthy characteristics similar to those of its Avenger counterpart.

Looking closely at the prototype, the doors on its belly appear to be for an internal weapons bay.

Another USAF CCA prototype, built by Anduril, has been named the FYQ-44. It features a sleek and fast design, similar to earlier pre-stealth fighters, but also includes an internal weapons bay, rounded contours, and an air intake below the fuselage for a turbofan engine.

The USAF’s release of these two CCA prototype contenders seems to suggest that they could be the fighter aircraft of the future.

The CCA program, however, does talk about control of these armed UAVs by accompanying mainline manned fighter aircraft, but with autonomous capability to find and destroy once dispatched to attack a target.

Colorado Army Guard’s Drone Warfare Cell Reshapes Warfighting

June 18, 2025

WATKINS, Colo. - As the battlespace continues to evolve, so too must the tools and training of those who fight within it.

Among the quiet forces reshaping U.S. warfighting readiness is a specialized group called the Drone Warfare Cell (DWC), operating within the Multi-Domain Special Operations Cell (MDSOC) at 5th Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Colorado Army National Guard.

Though the individuals behind it remain unnamed by design, their impact is increasingly visible across training pipelines, during deployment readiness and with the integration of drone technology into modern combat operations.

“Drone warfare is arguably one of the modalities that is leading the evolution of the battlespace,” the director of the MDSOC said.

“The technological advances that are happening in real time, just on this one topic, are nearly impossible to keep up with if there isn’t a group of dedicated warfighters that make this their sole mission.”

Formed in 2022 as a grassroots effort by Soldiers in the 5th Battalion, 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne), the DWC was born from an operational need to close a gap.

Initially focused on counter-unmanned aerial systems, the team quickly identified a significant shortfall in training for small unmanned aerial systems across the force.

Today, the DWC is a team of skilled advisors who train and deploy with U.S. forces to address drone-related threats and capabilities.

Their mission is to prepare units for the modern threat environment by integrating Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) and Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (cUAS) and to enable commanders to make better-informed decisions using the full spectrum of unmanned systems.

“Members of the DWC are not just instructors who can certify others to fly drone aircraft. They are technical integrators who understand the full scope of unmanned systems across air, land and sea,” the director said.

“The work they have done has directly increased the lethality and survivability of U.S. Soldiers.”

Key capabilities offered by the DWC include sUAS/cUAS integration, technical innovation, hands-on advising and red teaming that uses adversary tactics to identify vulnerabilities and strengthen defenses.

Their holistic approach enables forces to move beyond simply using drones to fighting smarter with them.

During the last two and a half years, the DWC has trained more than 400 service members in sUAS and cUAS operations and worked across multiple deployments to educate partner forces.

As demand grows, so does the cell’s reach. While initially designed to support small, highly specialized units, the DWC now sees increased interest from conventional formations.

“We are excited to see the shift in focus because the only way we are going to be able to prepare the entire formation for the next fight is through collaboration between special operations and conventional forces,” the DWC’s noncommissioned officer in charge (NCOIC) said.

“It shows that across the board, people recognize this is a fight everyone has to be ready for.”

The cell supports units preparing to deploy but also attaches to those already in theater, trains partner forces, advises command teams and integrates into the intelligence process.

“We tailor our support depending on the unit’s needs,” the NCOIC said. “We’re not just sending out a checklist. We’re on the ground, helping them think through how drones can support their mission.”

That mindset also applies to broader modernization efforts. The DWC is actively contributing to developing the new Special Forces Robotics Warrant Officer course and partners with academia and industry to bring cutting-edge solutions directly to warfighters.

The DWC also ensures that hard-earned lessons from global conflicts are not lost. Through regular touchpoints with the Department of Defense and other government entities, the cell ensures that emerging best practices and real-world insights are shared across the broader force.

At a time when technology is redefining how wars are fought and won, the DWC ensures the force stays ahead of the curve.

Although the individuals behind the mission remain unnamed, their purpose is clear: to prepare American forces for the challenges of today and the unknowns of tomorrow.

EU could cancel visa-free travel for Israelis – Euronews

Brussels has introduced new rules that couldplace restrictions on countries found in violation of the UN charter or international humanitarian law

Israel could face a suspension of its visa-free access to the EU’s Schengen area under new rules approved by European lawmakers, Euronews reported on Wednesday. This comes shortly after the Jewish state launched a bombing campaign against Iran, prompting retaliatory attacks.

The new rules amend the visa suspension mechanisms to include violations of the UN Charter, human rights, breaches of international humanitarian law, and defiance of international court rulings. Israel is among the countries most at risk following allegations of war crimes in Gaza raised by the UN, Euronews wrote, citing sources in the European Parliament.

“This tool helps us deliver the values that have built our community,” Slovenian MEP Matjaz Nemec, the bill’s rapporteur, told the news outlet.He insisted that “no specific country is being targeted,” although European Parliament sources said Israel was a focus for several political groups pushing for the reform.

Currently, citizens from 61 countries – including Israel, the UK, Japan, and Australia – may enter the Schengen area for up to 90 days without a visa. So far, the EU has suspended visa-free access only once, in the case of the Republic of Vanuatu for its alleged citizenship-by-investment scheme.

Under the new rules, the European Commission can impose a one-year suspension through an implementing act, which only needs the approval of member states and can be blocked by a qualified majority. Extensions require a delegated act, which can be blocked by either the European Council or Parliament.The process can be initiated by the Commission or prompted by an EU member state.

The deal still awaits formal approval by the full European Parliament and Council before becoming EU law.

The reform follows widespread international condemnation of Israel’s conduct in Gaza and its recent military operation against Iran. Russia has denounced Israel’s actions against Iran as “illegal” and warned they could trigger a “nuclear catastrophe.”

Israel began bombing Iran on Friday, claiming Tehran was close to building a nuclear weapon. Iran denied the accusations and responded with drone and missile strikes.

The Venetian bankers moved their operation to London.

The Doge was one of the most powerful people in the world for 1000 years.

Near Total Internet Blackout In Iran As Israel Has Control Of Skies

President Donald Trump on Wednesday fielded reporters' questions on the Iran crisis, but refused to answer whether the US military will directly enter the war, amid Israeli requests that the Pentagon assist in striking Iran's nuclear facilities.

"There's a big difference between now and a week ago," Trump told reporters outside the White House, and added curiously: "Nobody knows what I'm going to do."

He indicated that the Iranians had reached out but he feels "it's very late to be talking." But he also threw out the possibility: "We may meet. It's, I don't know, there's a big difference between now and a week ago," he said on the White House lawn.

"I can tell you this, that Iran's got a lot of trouble and they want to negotiate. And I say, 'Why didn't you negotiate with me before all this death and destruction?'"

IRAN'S SURPRISE

==Hackers take control of Iranian state media, broadcast anti-regime messages

Hackers reportedly hijack Iranian state TV, airing footage of anti-regime protests and urging citizens to rise up.== The attack follows an Israeli airstrike on the broadcaster's headquarters earlier in the week.

Hackers reportedly hijacked the Iranian state broadcaster during a live broadcast on Tuesday and broadcast anti-regime messages.

Videos posted to social media show what is reportedly state television broadcasting footage from anti-regime protests, specifically the massive 2022 "Women, Life, Freedom" protests, along with messages such as "Rise up! This is your moment. Go out into the streets. Take control of your future.

Opposition-aligned Iran International quoted the state broadcaster as saying:"If you experience disruptions or irrelevant messages while watching various TV channels, it is due to enemy interference with satellite signals."

According to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), the infiltration of the broadcast was limited to satellite transmissions.

Earlier in the week, an Israeli airstrike hit the headquarters of the Iranian state broadcaster.

Minister of Defense Katz confirmed that the IDF has struck the "Iranian regime's propaganda and incitement broadcasting authority," after a widespread evacuation of the population.

"We will hit the Iranian dictator everywhere," Katz declared.

The IDF confirmed that the Israeli Air Force conducted a precise strike based on intelligence provided by the Intelligence Directorate, targeting a "communications center that was being used for military purposes by the Iranian Armed Forces."

According to the IDF, "The building was used by the Iranian Armed Forces under the guise of civilian activity, covering up the military use of the center's infrastructure and assets. The strike directly harmed the military capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces."

Prior to the strike, the IDF provided an effective advanced warning to the civilian population, including phone calls, and conducted the strike in a precise manner in order to mitigate harm to civilians as far as feasible.

A short time earlier, the IDF issued a warning calling on residents of District Three in northern Tehran, where the headquarters are located.

This isn’t a drill. It’s the highest level of military alert. And it’s happening as tensions with Iran are on the edge of ignition.

Missiles are moving. Oil routes are flashing red.

They’re not warning the public, but they just activated the war machine.

Gov. Hochul: ‘New York Is Providing $50 million to Cover Legal Services’ For Illegal Aliens

Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) announced Tuesday that the state of New York will provide $50 million in taxpayer dollars to pay legal fees for illegal immigrants to help them fight back against the Trump administration’s popular deportation efforts.

The governor highlighted the state’s “investment” during a dramatic news conference addressing the arrest of New York City comptroller and mayoral candidate Brad Lander, who was busted by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents earlier Tuesday for allegedly assaulting a federal officer.

Hochul said she believed the charges against Lander had been dropped, but added that she was still concerned about illegal aliens being “taken away from their families” in New York.

“They don’t have the attention, they don’t have the lawyers and that’s why the State of New York is providing 50 million dollars to cover legal services for people who are finding themselves in this situation,” Hochul said. We continue to do what we can to support the communities and the immigration coalitions and thank them for their work they’re doing at this time.”

USAID Gave Known Con Man $800M Contract To Do Kamala’s Work On ‘Root Causes Of Migration’

Biden admin gave $800M contract to a home-based company despite knowing its manager received past contracts through bribery.

President Joe Biden’s USAID awarded an $800 million contract to a business operating out of a Virginia home even after it formally ruled that its key manager lacked “honesty or integrity” — a reference to the fact that, according to a May 12 guilty plea, he had secured USAID contracts through bribery for a decade.

The contract was for addressing “issues affecting the root causes of irregular migration from Central America to the United States” — the work that Biden assigned to Vice President Kamala Harris, but which she never appeared to address, a Daily Wire investigation found.

The Department of Justice announced Friday that Walter Barnes III, the founder of government contractor Vistant (previously known as PM Consulting Group, or PMCG) and Roderick Watson, a USAID contracting official, pleaded guilty to a bribery scheme in which Barnes and two others conspired to pay Watson $1 million in exchange for $544 million in contracts.

What has not been reported is that the Biden administration continued to steer contracts to Vistant/PMCG even after it knew of the massive corruption: the migration contract, even larger than the $544 million in the indictment, and others that are still active.

The $800 million contract went to a joint venture between Barnes’ company and CollaborateUp, a tiny consultancy run out of a suburban home in Falls Church, Virginia, where its CEO, Richard Crespin — who runs the company while also working at a think tank — lives. The Virginia home was the address listed on the $800 million contract.

In announcing its $800 million contract, CollaborateUp said it would address the “irregular migration from Central America to the United States” by addressing “climate change.” Its website also touts its work “advancing DEIA” and combating “misinformation.”

This year, it added Mark A. Green, a former Republican congressman who served as Donald Trump’s appointee to lead USAID during his first term, to its payroll as a “senior advisor,” according to its website.

Vistant’s criminal scheme relied on joint ventures to exploit a DEI policy called 8(a) contracting, which lets the government award contracts with no or limited competition when the recipient is a racial minority or a small business. It formed a joint venture with a larger company —which was bribing Watson and would actually do the work — so Watson could use Barnes’ status as a black man to steer the contracts to him, rather than being obligated to go through an open competitive process.

Barnes’ company ultimately received hundreds of millions of dollars, stripping his “disadvantaged” status, and the CollaborateUp joint venture reversed the maneuver, relying on CollaborateUp’s status as a small business to win a contract with limited competition, while relying on Barnes and other larger firms to actually do the work.

CollaborateUp says it “co-developed” USAID’s “procurement reform” policies “alongside former Administrator Mark Green.” That means the company that USAID put in charge of contracting reform got a massive contract for itself after partnering with someone who criminally corrupted the USAID contracting process, then put a former USAID official on its payroll.

The bribes by Barnes and his co-conspirators laid out in charging papers — which included cash, fake payroll payments, a country club wedding, a trip to Martha’s Vineyard, a down payment on a house, and basketball tickets — took place between 2013 and 2022. By 2023, USAID inspector general investigators knew of the corruption. On November 9, 2023, the government barred Vistant and Barnes from contracting based on “evidence of conduct indicating a lack of business honesty or integrity.”

That same day, it notified the Vistant-CollaborateUp joint venture, called PMCG CollaborateUp JV LLC, that it had been chosen for the “root causes of migration” contract.

A USAID contracting official believed the contract was “legally questionable” and told the contractors later that month that he was yanking it. He said that even though CollaborateUp owned 51% of the joint venture, according to the proposal, almost all the work would be done by Vistant or subcontractors. That meant CollaborateUp brought little to the table except being a middleman, while the contract’s “driving force” was banned for lack of integrity, according to civil court papers.

Yet the contractors appeared to feel so entitled to nearly $1 billion in government money that they took the government to court demanding it. It asked a judge for a permanent injunction “prohibiting USAID from rescinding its award.”

On June 10, 2024, Paul Young, a go-between who paid Watson to obscure the paper trail to Barnes, was indicted for his role in bringing Watson to influence “the award of USAID contracts valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.” The indictment refers to Vistant and Barnes as Company 3 and CC-3 and says, “Young began making payments from CC-3 to CC-1 [Watson].” It describes how, for example, in October 2022, CC-3 sent a down payment for Watson’s home to him through Young.

Two days later, on June 12, 2024, Judge Charles F. Lettow issued “a limited injunction,” punting the decision about the $800 million contract back to USAID to reevaluate. By that time, Vistant had been removed from the list of banned contractors, though the ban on its founder, Barnes, remained.

On August 22, 2024, USAID awarded the “indefinite quantity” contract of up to $800 million for “USAID Central America Regional Support Services” to PMCG CollaborateUp JV LLC. It made an initial payment of $10,000 that day.

Further demonstrating that the government knew at the time that Vistant/PMCG had gotten its previous USAID contracts through bribery, one week later, prosecutors offered a plea deal to a co-conspirator of Barnes, Darryl F. Britt, that laid out the findings of a long-running investigation from USAID’s inspector general. The plea deal referred to Vistant as Company 2, and Barnes as CC-2.

“Indefinite delivery” contracts are open-ended contracts that allow the government to send repeated work to a company over a period of time up to a maximum amount, meaning the government could pay PMCG CollaborateUp as much as $800 million, but could also pay less.

The migration contract was terminated in February 2025 — not because Barnes was corrupt, but because the Trump administration was shuttering USAID over suspicion that graft and insider deals were common, which liberals decried as a conspiracy theory.

Yet the Biden administration’s General Services Administration, which oversees government-wide contracting, also gave PMCG CollaborateUp JV LLC two contracts lasting five years each, despite the government’s knowledge that Barnes had gotten contracts through bribery.

On November 6, 2024 — the day after the presidential election — GSA awarded the joint venture an indefinite delivery contract through 2029, whose cap was listed as $999,999,999,999.00. It paid $2,500 as the opening salvo.

On December 19, shortly before the Biden administration left office, GSA gave it another indefinite delivery contract with similar terms. According to its GSA Price List, the company rents administrative assistants to the government for $93.68 an hour. CollaborateUp did not return a request for comment.

The half-billion dollar bribery scheme is just one instance of fraud at USAID that was known about during the Biden administration, but not prosecuted until the Trump administration.

Stephen Paul Edmund Sutton, a British citizen who worked for a USAID contractor, pleaded guilty on May 19 to taking kickbacks related to an electric program in Pakistan. Sutton and a co-conspirator who worked for him were in charge of giving out subcontractors to Pakistani vendors to perform work.

In 2015, the pair created two companies and had the contractor pay them for forklift and crane services. Then, those companies hired Pakistanis for half the amount. Prosecutors said the agency was defrauded of $100,000. Sutton was ordered to be handed over to immigration authorities instead of jail.

The Daily Wire previously revealed that USAID’s inspector general told a federal court in November that another foreign aid contracting official, Matthieu Zahui of the African Development Foundation, had steered contracts to a friend who secretly paid him personally. USAID had credible tips about Zahui for years, but didn’t take his phone until February 2024. The phone, it said, contained evidence that he was receiving wire transfers to his personal bank account from the owner of a contractor he had steered government funds to.

But USAID did not ask a judge for a search warrant to conduct further investigation until November 4, the day before the election. Zahiu has not been criminally charged as of now.

Harvard, MIT Use Law To Limit Legal Payouts While Sitting On Endowments Worth Billions

Harvard and MIT have been using a little-known Massachusetts law to limit their legal liability in lawsuits, despite sitting on massive endowments—$53.2 billion and $24.6 billion, respectively. The law caps tort damages against charitable organizations at just $20,000, which critics argue allows these elite universities to avoid meaningful financial accountability even in serious cases like sexual harassment or environmental violations2.

This legal shield, known as “charitable immunity,” is unique to only three U.S. states and has been repeatedly invoked by both institutions over the past few decades3. Efforts to repeal or reform the cap have failed annually from 2019 to 2024, with Harvard reportedly lobbying against the changes each year.

Critics say the cap discourages victims from pursuing justice and allows wealthy nonprofits to sidestep consequences that for-profit entities would face. As one Massachusetts senator put it: if you’re hit by an Amazon truck, you might get millions—but if it’s a Harvard truck, “you’re not going to get squat”.

Provo Utah named the best managed city in America

-Provo ranked by WalletHub as the best-run city in America.

-Mayor Michelle Kaufusi credits the city's team and residents for the achievement.

-Provo excels in safety, education, and infrastructure, with low crime and unemployment rates.

PROVO — WalletHub released a report Tuesday of the 20 best-run cities in America, with Provo in the top spot.

Provo's mayor, Michelle Kaufusi, said she found out about the ranking early Tuesday and was in her kitchen "jumping up and down" as she read the article.

"This recognition from WalletHub is truly an honor, but it's really just a testament, like I stated, to our incredible city team and the residents who make Provo such a special place to live," she said.

For this ranking, WalletHub compared 148 of the country's largest cities based on their operating efficiency to determine the effectiveness of local leadership.

WalletHub ranked each city based on 36 key performance indicators grouped into six service categories. Those indicators were also measured against the city's total per capita budget.

Provo ranked first overall out of all 148 cities.

"It means we must be doing something right, and that's exciting. We've always believed in getting the basics right first, which are, for us, quality schools, safe neighborhoods, well-maintained roads, and then, of course, the responsible budgeting," Kaufusi said.

"Provo, Utah, is the best-run city, and the reasons for that are that the city is experiencing business growth of around 5.2%, alongside a high school graduation rate of nearly 91%. Provo is also a city that is safe," said WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo.

Lupo added that Provo also has the fourth-lowest violent crime rate and the seventh-lowest property crime rate in the country.

"Safety is always a top concern for citizens," Kaufusi said. "We continue to focus on keeping our citizens safe and sound in Provo. I think it was a couple years ago, we literally were voted the safest city, large city in the nation, so that's a focus for us."

The city also has the eighth-lowest unemployment rate in the country at 2.8%.

According to WalletHub, Provo also keeps its infrastructure well maintained and has impressive economic momentum.

When broken down into rankings by individual categories, Provo's numbers are all across the board.

The city ranked third for safety, 23rd for infrastructure and pollution, 29th for education, and 31st for financial stability.

"We're not just spending money here in Provo, we're spending it wisely. So every dollar we invest has to deliver real value for our residents, whether that's keeping your streets safe or maintaining our infrastructure or supporting our schools, all of those things matter," Kaufusi said.

Provo's weakest categories were health, for which it ranked 35th, and economy, earning the 84th spot.

"Now we have to keep raising the bar. We're not going to rest on our achievements. We've never been that way. We are go-getters, and we're going to use it as a springboard to continue improving," the Provo mayor said.

Idaho had two cities listed in the top five, with Nampa at No. 2 and Boise ranked fourth.

According to WalletHub, Nampa earned the second spot because of extremely low government debt, a low property crime rate and a strong economy.

The only other Utah city on the list was Salt Lake City which ranked 99th out of 148.

Border Patrol agents shut down massive drug smuggling tunnel between Tijuana and San Diego

U.S. Border Patrol agents recently discovered and disabled a nearly 3,000-foot-long narcotics smuggling tunnel sitting beneath the US-Mexico border.

Agents found the tunnel — which linked Tijuana and San Diego — in early April while it was actively under construction.

The underground passageway ran under part of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry and had a projected exit point near or inside a commercial warehouse space in San Diego, according to an announcement from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Upon entering the "highly sophisticated" tunnel, authorities were met with barricades seemingly placed to prevent law enforcement from finding its entrance, the announcement noted.

VA secretary calls out California officials after LA anti-ICE riots shutter clinic serving veterans

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins called out California officials for ignoring the impact the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots have had on displaced veterans after an ambulatory clinic was forced to suddenly shutter its doors earlier this month.

"They're not peaceful. We see what they're doing. They're throwing stuff at us. They're taking it out on the police," he said of the protesters on "Fox & Friends," Wednesday.

"What Gavin Newsom and… the mayor, don't want to talk about is the impact on the people who are just trying to live their lives… we have a large homeless population of veterans [in Los Angeles]… which we're working on fixing… but we've got a lot who just need that basic care."

Three years after 19 Americans died in a bombing at a Saudi Arabian apartment complex, then-President Bill Clinton sent a cable that told Iran’s president a secret that the 42nd president wasn’t even willing to tell the American public: U.S. intelligence had ample evidence that Tehran was behind the deadly Khobar Towers terror attack.

“Message to President Khatami from President Clinton: The United States Government has received credible evidence that members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, (IRGC) along with members of Lebanese and Saudi Hizballah, were directly involved in the planning and execution of the terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia of the Khobar Towers military resident complex,” the 1999 cable declared.

“The United States views this in the gravest terms,” the cable continued. “We acknowledge that the bombing occurred prior to your election. Those responsible, however, have yet to face justice for this crime. And the IRGC may be involved in planning for further terrorist attacks against American citizens. The involvement of the IRGC in terrorist activity and planning abroad remains a cause of deep concern to us.”

Why did Mohammad Mosaddegh nationalize Iran's oil industry?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalization_of_the_Iranian_oil_industry

The legislation led to the nationalization of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) and the formation of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). The movement was led by Mohammad Mosaddegh, a member of the Majlis for the National Front and future prime minister of Iran. The movement to nationalize the oil industry was the reaction to the following concessions made by Iran to foreign powers: the Reuter concession of 1872, the 1901 D'Arcy Concession, the 1933 agreement between the Iranian government and AIOC, and the 1949 Gas-Gulshaiyan Supplemental Oil Agreement.

If you needed any more proof that The Fed is a scam, this is it.

70% of all bank profits now come from Fed handouts. It’s not a free market—it’s a rigged casino. And you’re covering the losses

* The American people are getting robbed for every angle We are slaves over Monopoly money. – Thomas Paine

* thanks, I did not know this. We are taught that the fractional reserve banking system means that banks are only loaning out a percentage of their deposits while maintaining a small deposit at the fed. As pointed out by prof Richard Werner in a paper, banks actually create over 90% of the money supply. They simply credit your account when you take out a loan and create an asset for themselves for the outstanding loan, essentially creating money out of thin air. This has always been the system we are just told that the fractional reserve system is reality. You have pointed out that banks are paid interest on this modest reserve as well, no kidding too big to fail is an issue. – Stephen B

*Grok says:The claim that 70% of bank profits come from Fed interest on reserves islikely exaggerated. Data suggests 2024 bank profits were ~$268B, with Fed interest payments ~$187B, closer to69.8%. This is significant but not quite 70%, and includes non-bank institutions. Banks also earn from loans and fees. The policy is debated—some see it as a subsidy, others as vital for monetary control. Exact 2024 figures are unverified, so the claim’s precision is uncertain.

* It appears that I am being double taxed. I pay federal income taxes which go to this insanity that the Professor has explained and I am paying an interest rate on my mortgage that is probably double what it should be (8.8%) because the Fed said so. Absolutely insane
