I wish I was kidding. But that is exactly what happened. Someone saw a White Kid with an umbrella and lost their shit.

Meanwhile all hell is breaking loose and this kid is just walking around Campus apparently listening to a Podcast or something. Seemingly oblivious to the Campus filling with Police Cars.

Two injuries occurred during the lockdown procedure.

Exact, with no flaws or noticeable errors in any manner, counterfiet US Dollars (10s, 20s, 50s, 100s demoninations) discovered in Bogota, Colombia. Total face value at 1,200,000 uncut sheets. Offset printing, holographic stripes, microprinting, and even the paper were all exact matches.

The bills were printed, sold in bulk (10,000 for $1,000usd), and then shipped to Lima, Peru and other cities for washing in the general circulation.

During the investigation U.S. Secret Service analyzed the sheets and could not detect any security flaw that would denote the bills as fake.

Justice Gorsuch Gives Rogue Lower Courts The Smackdown They Deserve

‘Whatever their own views, judges are duty-bound to respect “the hierarchy of the federal court system created by the Constitution and Congress.”‘

America’s lower judiciary is out of control — and Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch is putting it on notice.

In a Thursday order, the nation’s highest court granted (in part) a request by the Trump administration to temporarily pause a lower court blockade on the National Institutes of Health’s bid to terminate DEI-related grants totaling nearly $800 million. The ruling was 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s Democrat appointees saying they would have denied the administration’s application in full.

The granting of stay was one of several instances in which the Supreme Court has been asked to weigh in on injunctions issued by (primarily) left-wing district judges. Such orders have often come at the behest of Democrat activists seeking to sabotage the Trump administration via a judicial coup.

In addition to signing onto the majority’s Thursday decision, Gorsuch penned a concurring opinion in the case in which he ripped into the lower judiciary’s out-of-control behavior. While noting that “[l]ower court judges may sometimes disagree with this Court’s decisions … they are never free to defy them.”

Citing a related case recently before the Supreme Court (Department of Ed. v. California), the Trump appointee highlighted how the high court “granted a stay [in that case] because it found the government likely to prevail in showing that the district court lacked jurisdiction to order the government to pay grant obligations.” He wrote, “California explained that ‘suits based on “any express or implied contract with the United States”’ do not belong in district court under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), but in the Court of Federal Claims under the Tucker Act.”

“Rather than follow that direction, the district court in this case permitted a suit involving materially identical grants to proceed to final judgment under the APA,” Gorsuch wrote. “As support for its course, the district court invoked the ‘persuasive authority’ of ‘the dissent[s] in California‘ and an earlier court of appeals decision California repudiated … That was error.”

Gorsuch went on to underscore that “the promise of our legal system that like cases are treated alike means that a lower court ought not invoke the ‘persuasive authority’ of a dissent or a repudiated court of appeals decision to reach a different conclusion on an equivalent record.” More to the point, however, he noted that the district court’s apparent rebuke of the precedent very recently established by SCOTUS in the California case is not an isolated incident among the lower courts.

“If the district court’s failure to abide by California were a one-off, perhaps it would not be worth writing to address it. But two months ago another district court tried to ‘compel compliance’ with a different ‘order that this Court ha[d] stayed,'” Gorsuch wrote. “Still another district court recently diverged from one of this Court’s decisions even though the case at hand did not differ ‘in any pertinent respect’ from the one this Court had decided … So this is now the third time in a matter of weeks this Court has had to intercede in a case ‘squarely controlled’ by one of its precedents.”

The Trump appointee concluded his concurrence by laying down a marker in the sand that, regardless of their personal opinions, lower court judges are obligated to abide by the Supreme Court’s guidance and the existing constitutional framework.

“All these interventions should have been unnecessary, but together they underscore a basic tenet of our judicial system: Whatever their own views, judges are duty-bound to respect ‘the hierarchy of the federal court system created by the Constitution and Congress,'” Gorsuch wrote.

Gorsuch was joined in his opinion by Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who concurred in part and dissented in part, according to Thursday’s order.

Rhode Island prosecutor in viral arrest video placed on unpaid leave, job future unclear

Rhode Island AG says arrested prosecutor was wrong when she told officers they must turn off their bodycams upon request.

The Rhode Island assistant attorney general whose arrest went viral earlier this week after she seemingly tried to use her position to evade arrest, telling officers they'd "regret" putting her behind bars, will be placed on unpaid leave.

Special Assistant Attorney General Devon Flanagan, who was arrested for trespassing, was placed on paid leave after the incident while the Rhode Island Attorney General's office reviewed the matter. Starting Monday, Flanagan will go on unpaid leave, the office told Fox News Digital.

It is unclear how long Flanagan will remain on unpaid leave until a final determination is made on her employment. The attorney general's office did not respond to additional questions about its ongoing review of the matter or when it might make a final decision.

State payroll records, according to the Boston Globe, show that Flanagan was making about $113,000 a year in her position as a special assistant attorney general.

"I'm an AG! I'm an AG!" Flanagan told police as they tried to detain her for failing to comply with their demands. "You're going to regret this. You're going to regret it. I'm an A-" Flanagan said as she was escorted to the back of a police car and the door was shut.

"Good for you, I don't give a s—," one of the arresting officers said at one point.

In a subsequent radio interview after Flanagan's arrest, Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha called it "inexcusable behavior" that will likely result in "strong, strong sanction[s]." However, he did note that this isn't the first time he's dealt with a case like this involving his staff.

"I've got 110 lawyers. She embarrassed all of them. I haven't had many issues like this while I've been attorney general. I've had a few, and I let one guy go for driving drunk — had to bring him back. Well, I didn't have to but did bring him back after I fired him about a year later because, again, I needed somebody to go into a courtroom and try ugly, hard murder cases," Neronha told WPRO Radio.

"It's just really hard to find and keep capable lawyers, and so I just have to think really carefully about this one. But no question there will be a strong, strong sanction here."

Neronha added that he believed the incident was alcohol-related and noted that doesn't necessarily excuse the behavior. He also said Flanagan had an "unblemished" record working for him, is thought highly of by the state bar association and is taking steps to make amends with the New Port Police Department, including issuing an apology.

The attorney general was asked about certain details of the incident, including whether Flanagan was right in telling the officer it was the law that he must turn off his body camera upon request by a citizen.

"I’m not sure what she was thinking. Clearly, she was not thinking straight," said Neronha, who added that Flanagan was incorrect in her assertion that police officers must shut off their bodycam upon request.

"She’s humiliated herself," Neronha added. "Regardless of what happens vis-a-vis her employment with us, she’s going to have a long time coming back from this. It’s just really unfortunate."

We are living in what I call the 3rd Arc of American history, a period as consequential as the American Revolution and the U.S. Civil War. Today, the threats we face are not only abroad but also here at home: infiltration, radical ideologies, and forces that seek to dismantle the very foundation of our Constitutional Republic.

I’ve spent years at war overseas, but I have come to realize the most significant battle is right here, fought not with weapons, but with courage, conviction, and truth.

This is not just the

@realDonaldTrump

‘s fight, nor the fight of those who have worn the uniform.

Each of us has a responsibility. Don’t simply ask what others are doing, ask yourself:

What am I doing to serve my country now?

This is an existential moment for America. New York City, our Nation’s bellwether, is a warning sign. Our borders, our sovereignty, and our freedoms are all under attack. But we are not powerless. We must come together, take decisive action, and safeguard the future of our beloved nation.

The future of America will not be decided by the deep state, the globalists, or foreign powers; it will be decided by We the People.

Across the country, factory closures and job losses are biting: will the Government wake up to the self-harm of its policies, many of them emanating from the altar of Net Zero fanaticism?

Videos of the nation’s capital being swept clean of homeless encampments in just one week may have Californians adding Washington, DC, to the unofficial list of top-10 U-Haul destinations. In Los Angeles, the problem of tent encampments has persisted for almost 20 years. They began to pop up after city officials settled an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit in 2007 by agreeing to stop enforcing a ban on sitting, lying or sleeping on the sidewalk. More lawsuits, settlements and court rulings led to the entire city and much of the state becoming the site of homeless encampments on sidewalks, streets, freeway embankments, overpasses, underpasses, median strips, parks, parking lots, public plazas, beaches, or-decades/

EVEN THE BANK HOLIDAYS ARE FOR THE BANKSTERS

Note: a little history..

Cui bono? (Classical Latin: [kui ˈbɔnoː]), in English "to whom is it a benefit?"

=

A bank holiday is a day when banks and many businesses are closed, often designated as a public or legal holiday.

In the United Kingdom, the term refers broadly to national public holidays, including those established by the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 and those proclaimed by royal authority.

While originally tied to days when banks ceased operations, the term now commonly refers to days off for much of the population, though many shops and services may remain open with reduced hours.

Bank holidays can also refer to federal or national holidays in other countries, such as the United States, where financial institutions typically close, although online banking services often remain operational.

In legal terms, there is a distinction in the UK between "bank holidays" (created by statute or proclamation) and "public holidays" (recognized by common law, such as Christmas Day and Good Friday).

The term originated in the UK, where banks historically closed on certain saints' days, and was later formalized by legislation in 1871.

When a bank holiday falls on a weekend, the observance is usually moved to the following Monday.

Some sources also note that "bank holiday" can refer to emergency closures of banks to prevent a bank run, though this usage is rare.

North Carolina woman yanks the hair of a young pickpocket in Venice, Italy, causing the suspected thief to have a screaming meltdown.

The mother of 8 tracked down the suspect by using the ‘Find My’ app to locate the missing AirPods and her passport.

“I have eight kids, you’re not getting to me,” she told the suspected thief.

Right before the girls were arrested, one of them smacked the mom with a purse which had a metal water bottle in it.

“So my mom had a massive gash on her head, and it was bleeding everywhere. She got a black eye from it, and the girls were arrested. And then my mom had to go to the hospital and get some stitches,” the mother’s daughter, Karis McElroy said.

The mom ended up getting her passport and credit cards back.

This woman is a beast.

NEW: Ex-Biden Official Booted From Ritzy NY Beach

By Cullen McCueAugust 24, 2025

Former Secretary of State Antony Blinken was kicked off a popular New York beach on Fridayamid closures that were implemented while Hurricane Erin created dangerous conditions as it barreled through offshore.

Photos obtained byFox News show Blinken and an unidentified female companion relaxing on beach chairs as they talked and looked stared off into the water at Georgica Beach in East Hampton.

A lifeguard in a patrol vehicle then approached the two, and after a short conversation, they were seen gathering up their belongings, including beach chairs, shoes and a beach towel. The two then proceeded to make their way across the sand and through the parking lot.

East Hampton beaches, including Georgia Beach, were closed for several days due to the hazardous conditions produced along the East Coast by Hurricane Erin, a spokesperson for East Hampton Village’s Main Beach Office told Fox News in an email statement. “The water was closed until last night as per Suffolk County,” the spokesperson added.

The beach was later opened to foot traffic by midday on Friday after the tide receded, though it was closed prior to that. It is not known whether Blinken was actively violating the closures when the photographs were taken.

“The beach was closed to foot traffic as well all Thursday and Friday until around midday,” the spokesperson told Fox News. “Friday we were able to open each beach to foot traffic after the tide dropped out. The storm brought strong rip currents, storm surge waves and large debris. All our precautions were to keep patrons and staff as safe as possible!”

…The cyclone ultimately did not make landfall in the United States, but it did cause dangerous conditions at sea and had several states bracing for potential problems. In New York, Governor Kathy Hochul urged beachgoers to exercise extreme caution and pay attention to current forecasts.

“New Yorkers are no strangers to hurricanes — that is why I’m urging those living in areas that may be impacted to stay safe and exercise caution until the hurricane tapers off later this week,” Hochul said in a statement this past Tuesday.

For Blinken, he was returning to the scene of an infamous photo, where he was seen lounging around at the Hamptons as Taliban forces took control of Afghanistan in 2021.

The incompetent Mayor of Chicago just stated that, in DC, where crime has been brought down to almost nothing, there have been no murders in 9 days, something which hasn’t happened in years, and people are safe again, only nine people have been arrested. That is wrong, hundreds of criminals have been held, captured, and arrested, and their guns have been taken away. DC IS SAFE AND BOOMING!!!

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Senator Amy Klobuchar has acknowledged what opponents of her legislation have been warning all along.

In a recent New York Times opinion piece, she confirmed that her proposed NO FAKES Act would be used to censor AI-generated parody.

Her target is a meme video that pokes fun at her reaction to an American Eagle jeans advertisement featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.

Rather than brush off the obvious satire, Klobuchar doubled down on the need to suppress it. “As anyone would, I wanted the video taken down or at least labeled ‘digitally altered content,’” she wrote.

She applauded TikTok for removing the clip, praised Meta for tagging it, and expressed frustration that X would not help her attach a Community Note.

This public complaint confirms that the NO FAKES Act, Senate Bill 1367, is not just about preventing identity theft or stopping fraud. Klobuchar is one of the bill’s lead authors, and she is openly calling for legal tools to remove content that ridicules her.

The bill gives individuals the right to sue over the creation or distribution of “unauthorized digital replicas.”

It also places heavy compliance burdens on platforms, which would face steep fines for failing to remove flagged content quickly or for not implementing policies to suspend repeat offenders.

While the bill claims to allow space for parody, satire, and documentaries, Klobuchar’s statements make it clear that those exemptions offer little practical protection.

The parody video in question shows an AI-generated version of Klobuchar speaking at a fake Senate hearing, ranting about Democrats needing more visibility in advertising. The fictional version of the senator says, “If Republicans are going to have beautiful girls with perfect titties…we want ugly, fat bitches wearing pink wigs and long-ass fake nails being loud and twerking on top of a cop car at a Waffle House ‘cause they didn’t get extra ketchup.”

The video continues with the fake Klobuchar declaring, “Just because we’re the party of ugly people doesn’t mean we can’t be featured in ads, okay?”

The clip is clearly not real and was never presented as such, but Klobuchar is calling for its removal anyway. That admission raises serious questions about the bill’s true purpose and the viability of its so-called protections for satire.

Klobuchar did not stop with the NO FAKES Act.

She also endorsed several other legislative efforts that raise alarms for those concerned with civil liberties. These include the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which is framed as a measure against non-consensual intimate imagery but includes vague provisions that could result in widespread takedowns.

She praised the European Union’s AI Act, which legalizes large-scale biometric surveillance. She also highlighted a Danish proposal that would grant individuals control over their likeness, including face and voice, allowing them to demand the removal of unauthorized AI content.

All of these measures prioritize content removal and censorship over any meaningful protection for free expression. The supposed balance between safety and rights is nowhere to be found.

California attempted something similar, but a federal judge issued an injunction, ruling that parody and satire are protected under the First Amendment. The court referenced long-standing Supreme Court precedent affirming that fear of digital deception does not justify blanket censorship.

Internationally, the Digital Services Act in the EU mandates content takedowns based on decisions by government-aligned “trusted flaggers.” Noncompliant platforms risk fines of up to 6 percent of their global revenue.

BlackRock and Private Equity Firm housing scam EXPOSED

- They are buying up entire new housing developments, sometimes 500 units

- They’ll buy the houses at $300k per home

- They won’t sell it right away, they’ll keep the area looking like a construction zone for a year

- Let’s say there are 3 different models of homes in the community they bought, then a year later they’ll sell 3 of those houses that they bought for $300,000 to themselves in another fund for $700,000

- That creates 3 comps in the neighborhood

- They do one of each of the models, and now the entire neighborhood, each house is valued at $700,000

- Then they're going to turn them into obscene rentals and simultaneously they're going to have a 2.5x value on that portfolio to borrow against

“And every American in that community was just priced out of everything around that community.”

The Meteor and the Star Cluster

Sometimes even the sky surprises you. To see more stars and faint nebulosity in the Pleiades star cluster (M45), long exposures are made. Many times, less interesting items appear on the exposures that were not intended - but later edited out. These include stuck pixels, cosmic ray hits, frames with bright clouds or Earth's Moon, airplane trails, lens flares, faint satellite trails, and even insect trails. Sometimes, though, something really interesting is caught by chance. That was just the case a few weeks ago in al-Ula, Saudi Arabia when a bright meteor streaked across during an hour-long exposure of the Pleiades. Along with the famous bright blue stars, less famous and less bright blue stars, and blue-reflecting dust surrounding the star cluster, the fast rock fragment created a distinctive green glow, likely due to vaporized metals.

NASA confirms fireball over Japan as largest in decades

August 25, 2025 at 18:13 JST

A fireball meteor, left, is captured on Aug. 19 by a fixed camera at Fukuoka Airport. (Provided by Kyushu Asahi Broadcasting Co.)

A fireball meteor spotted over southwestern Japan on Aug. 19 was the most powerful recorded in the region since data collection began in 1988, according to NASA.

The fireball occurred over the Pacific Ocean, about 80 kilometers southeast of the Osumi Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, according to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

The meteor is estimated to have released enough energy to equal 1.6 kilotons of TNT—about one-tenth the power of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The energy released was much less than the 441 kilotons from the 17-meter asteroid that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013.

Still, Japan’s recent meteorological event marks a significant milestone in regional records.

The meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 75,600 kph, according to Daichi Fujii, curator at the Hiratsuka City Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Witnesses across the main island of Kyushu reported seeing a bright flash and those in Kagoshima heard a sonic boom.

NATO to send Kiev another $50bn in military aid – official

The bloc plans to match last year’s support to Ukraine despite Russia’s warnings that it only prolongs the conflict

NATO intends to spend another $50 billion on military aid for Ukraine and match its contributions from last year, a senior official has told Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper.

The bloc’s Military Committee Chairman Giuseppe Cavo Dragonestated that NATO has already provided more than $33 billion since Januaryand plans to raise the total to $50 billion by the end of the year.

Asked about the alliance’s stance as Washington and Moscow pursue peace efforts,Dragone said NATO would “continue military assistance and even increase it,” accusing Russia of “stalling”dialogue.

He also expressed hope that Western sanctions, which he described as aimed at “increasing internal tensions” against Russian President Vladimir Putin, would be tightened.

At the same time, Dragone dismissed speculation that NATO could deploy troops to Ukraine, an idea floated by members such as France and the UK.

He stressed that “we have not spoken about this at all in NATO, we have not even mentioned it,” adding that such proposals were “at least premature” and remained “in their infancy.”

(On Bannon Ben Harnwell said since the U.S. will not join the NATO countries, the broke EU countries won’t do it. Plus they cannot stand up an article 5 protection for Ukraine so they can’t do it. All of this shit is smoke and mirrors. Rutte head of NATO pushed for war on Russia, he’s trying to manipulate Trump. Trump knows what they are doing.)

His remarks come after a summit between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Alaska, which was followed within days by talks between Trump and Vladimir Zelensky as well as other European leaders at the White House.

Trump hailed the meetings as productive, and the White House said there was “light at the end of the tunnel.” Moscow has indicated it is open to negotiations and has welcomed Trump’s efforts to resolve the conflict by addressing its root causes.

Russia has repeatedly condemned NATO arms deliveries, arguing they only prolong the conflict.Officials in Moscow have questioned whether Kiev and its European backers are genuinely committed to peace, pointing out thatZelensky has rejected most of Trump’s proposalsand continues to insist on reclaiming Crimea and other former Ukrainian territories.

Moscow has also criticized European NATO members for trying to sideline Russia in the negotiations while focusing instead on security guarantees for Kiev, which Russia has branded an illegitimate and “openly neo-Nazi” regime.

(NATO protects only NATO countries, Ukraine is not in NATO. US will never join this regime to destroy Russia, so NATO can’t be involved. It’s against the articles. Many NATO countries want nothing to do with security guarantees or potential war with Russia. The whole summit at the WH was to confirm what Trump knew. They will never seek peace with Russia.)

What Do We Know So Far About 3I/ATLAS?

August 25, 2025

About a month from now, the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS will be on the far side of the Sun, making it unobservable from Earth.

On October 3, 2025, it will pass within 29 million kilometers from Mars and the HiRISE camera onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter will be able to image it with a pixel resolution of 30 kilometers.

The time is ripe to summarize what we know so far about 3I/ATLAS.

First, 3I/ATLAS does not feature a distinct cometary tail based on the highest resolution image taken by Hubble Space Telescope on July 21, 2025 (reported here).

The image shows a fuzzy glow of scattered sunlight that does not extend to the far tail side of the object — away from the Sun, any more than it extends on the side perpendicular to that direction. In fact, the only elongation of the glow is towards the Sun in the anti-tail direction.

If the scattering of sunlight had been off dust particles, then these particles would have been pushed by solar radiation pressure from the Sun-facing direction to the opposite side and would have displayed a generic cometary tail stretched over a few arcseconds behind the object, easily detectable by the Hubble Space Telescope.

The fact that this tail is not observed suggests that 3I/ATLAS does not shed much dust particles with a size comparable to the wavelength of sunlight, of order 0.5 micrometer.

The spectrum of 3I/ATLAS shows substantial reddening. In the absence of sub-micrometer dust, the reddening must originate from the solid surface of 3I/ATLAS.

This is not unexpected since similar reddening is observed from the surfaces of Kuiper belt objects, like Arrokoth, which are similarly exposed to interstellar cosmic-rays.

To produce this reddening without shedding sub-micron dust particles, most of the sunlight reflected from 3I/ATLAS must originate at its surface.

It then follows that the brightness of 3I/ATLAS implies a surface diameter of 20 kilometers for an albedo of 5% that characterizes Kuiper belt objects.

The flux detected by the SPHEREx space observatory at a wavelength of 1 micrometer from 3I/ATLAS on August 8–12, 2025 suggests an even larger nucleus with a diameter of 46 kilometers (as reported here).

This implies that the mass of 3I/ATLAS is a million times larger than that of the previous interstellar comet 2I/Borisov. This huge gap in mass is surprising since we should have discovered numerous objects of the size of 2I/Borisov before discovering a 46-kilometer interstellar object.

Moreover, as I noted in my first paper on 3I/ATLAS (accessible here), the amount of rocky material per unit volume in interstellar space is smaller by a factor of ten thousand than the value needed to deliver into the inner Solar system one giant rock of this size over the decade-long survey conducted by the ATLAS telescope.

Russian troops from viral clip explain why they hoisted US flag(VIDEO)

The soldiers operated an American-supplied M113 vehicle captured from Ukrainian forces

A Russian crew who went viral earlier this month after flying a US flag from an armored vehicle have saidthey carried out the stunt specifically to rile Ukrainian forces.

The footage, which was filmed near the frontline village of Malaya Tokmachka in Russia’s Zaporozhye Region, showed the soldiers driving theUS-supplied M113 vehicle decorated with Russian and American flags after it had been abandoned by Ukrainian troops.

On Sunday, RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan shared a close-up video of the trophy APC. The crew explained that the display was intended to “irritate” the enemy.

“It’s a good APC. Ours are better, of course, but this one will do,” one soldier said.

The stunt drew outrage in Kiev. Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky’s chief of staff, Andrey Yermak, denounced it as “maximum arrogance.”

Some Ukrainian commentators claimed the video was fabricated, or that the vehicle was actually Soviet-made, while others insisted the Russian crew had already been eliminated.

French broadcaster TF1 alleged the footage was manipulated with AI, while Canada-based NATO-linked nonprofit DisinfoWatch argued it had been “staged.”

SpaceX calls off critical Starship Flight 10 test launch due to 'issue with ground systems'

August 24, 2025

We'll have to wait a little longer to see the 10th test flight of SpaceX's Starship megarocket.

SpaceX planned to launch Starship Flight 10 from its Starbase site in South Texas this evening (Aug. 24), during an hourlong stretch that began at 7:30 p.m. EDT (2330 GMT). But just 17 minutes before that window opened, the company called things off.

"Standing down from today's tenth flight of Starship to allow time to troubleshoot an issue with ground systems," SpaceX announced at 7:13 p.m. EDT (2313 GMT) on Sunday in a post on X, the social media site owned by SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk.

The company is now targeting Monday (Aug. 25), during the same launch window.

Starship is the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built, standing more than 400 feet (122 meters) tall when fully stacked.

It consists of two elements, both of which are designed to be fully and rapidly reusable — a booster known as Super Heavy and an upper-stage spacecraft called Starship, or Ship for short.

SpaceX is developing Starship to help humanity return to the moon and settle Mars, among other tasks.

NASA has tapped the vehicle to be the first crewed lunar lander for its Artemis program, and plans to use Starship to land astronauts on Earth's nearest neighbor as early as 2027.

But Starship has a ways to go before it can fly such a mission. The giant rocket has performed nine test missions to date, all of which launched from Starbase. Three of those flights lifted off this year — in January, March and May, respectively.

On all three liftoffs, Ship experienced serious problems; it exploded less than 10 minutes after launch on Flight 7 and Flight 8 and broke apart upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere on Flight 9.

Flight 10's goals will be similar to those of Flight 9. SpaceX plans to bring Super Heavy down in the Gulf of Mexico about 6.5 minutes after launch and guide Ship to a controlled splashdown in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Western Australia, about an hour after that.

Ship is also supposed to deploy eight dummy versions of SpaceX's Starlink internet satellites during its trip and perform an engine-relight test in space.

German welfare state ‘no longer financially sustainable’ – Merz

The country’s economy contracted by 0.2% in 2024 after a 0.3% decline in 2023

Germany’s welfare state is no longer financially sustainable, Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned, citing mounting financial constraints.

Merz made the remarks on Saturday during a speech to fellow Christian Democratic Union (CDU) members in Osnabrueck, a city in Lower Saxony that is home to carmaker Volkswagen.

“The welfare state as we have it today can no longer be financed with what we can economically afford,” Merz said, calling for a fundamental reassessment of the benefits system. He noted that welfare spending hit a record €47 billion ($55 billion) last year and continues to rise this year. (Merkel created this welfare state, the chickens come home to roost)

Social welfare outlays have surged and are expected to climb further this year as Germany’s population ages and unemployment rises. The country provides a wide range of support measures, including housing and child benefits, unemployment payments, family allowances, and subsidies for the care of the sick and elderly. But with the economy stagnating in 2025 under both structural and cyclical pressures, the burden on the system is growing.While most benefit recipients are German citizens, a significant share are foreign nationals.

In the same speech,Merz said Germany was experiencing a “structural crisis”rather than a temporary weakness, conceding that putting Europe’s largest economy back on track has proven more difficult than he anticipated. Once the EU’s economic powerhouse, Germany’s economy has slowed sharply since 2017, with GDP rising just 1.6% compared to 9.5% for the rest of the Eurozone.

Merz’s warning came as official data showed Germany’s economy contracted by 0.2% in 2024 after a 0.3% decline in 2023, marking the first time since the early 2000s that Europe’s largest economy has shrunk for two consecutive years. Industrial production fell during Olaf Scholz’s tenure and has continued to weaken under his successor, with GDP dropping 0.3% in the second quarter of 2025, according to the latest data from Germany’s statistics office. The downturn has been driven by high energy prices, elevated interest rates and a shortage of skilled labor.

(This is why the EU cannot contribute or help win the war with Ukraine and Russia, all the countries are almost broke, with NO armies.it’s a big hoax with Ukraine. Germany was one of the most successful countries in Europe, when that country crashes all the rest will except Poland. They’ve been warned for years by the IMF and other orgs for years about this, but they didn’t listen and still don’t.)

France summons US envoy over anti-Semitism claims

Charles Kushner has accused President Emmanuel Macron of failing to protect the Jewish community

France has summoned the US ambassador over an open letter accusing French President Emmanuel Macron of failing to confront rising anti-Semitism.

Charles Kushner, whose son Jared is married to US President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka, wrote in the Wall Street Journal on Sunday thathe was “deeply concerned over the dramatic rise of anti-Semitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it.”

Anti-Semitism in France had “exploded”since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, Kushner argued, adding that Macron’s plan to formally recognize the State of Palestine would “embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France.”

The French Foreign Ministry dismissed the allegations as “unacceptable,”insisting that authorities have been “fully mobilized” to counter the surge in anti-Semitic attacks.

Kushner’s remarks “fall short of the quality of the transatlantic partnership between France and the United States and of the trust that must prevail between allies,” the ministry said, according to AP. (France doesn’t deny it, they just do the Macron dance of lies and make it political bullshit.)

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also criticized France’s decision to recognize Palestine, while Macron described the criticism as “erroneous.” In July, he announced that Paris would formalize recognition at the UN General Assembly in September, calling it a “historic commitment to a just andlasting peace.” (Bullshit War makes more War.)

(France is filled with Muslims that persecute Jews, Macron is replacing the French with Muslim terrorists.)

EU could resume ties with Russia – Finland

Limited relations could be restored once a “lasting” peace in Ukraine is achieved, President Alexander Stubb has said

EU countries could eventually restore ties with Russia once the Ukraine conflict is settled, although any cooperation will look fundamentally different from the arrangements that existed before the fighting began, Finnish President Alexander Stubb claimed on Monday.

Stubb has previously said Finland will seek pragmatic, interest-based relations with Russia once the Ukraine conflict is over.

”Establishing relations between Russia and the rest of Europe in one form or another will only be possible once a just and lasting peace has been achieved in Ukraine,” Stubb said at the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference on the Aland Islands, an autonomous region of Finland.

During the Cold War, Helsinki pursued a policy of neutrality and maintained stable relations with the Soviet Union. This continued for decades after the collapse of the USSR, although relations have deteriorated since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022.

Stubb noted that relations with Moscow remain “frozen,” while Baltic Sea nations have stepped up cooperation, and pointed to Finland and Sweden’s recent accession to NATO. “We cannot turn back the tide of history,” he said.

The Finnish leader has repeatedly spoken about the prospect of rebuilding ties after the conflict. In April 2025,he told a news conference in London that Helsinki must “morally prepare” for renewed relations with Moscowand said EU leaders had begun discussing possible contacts with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Kremlin spokesperson DmitryPeskov responded at the time that Russia has never been the first to damage relations with other countriesand continues to seek good ties with its neighbors. Finland’s decision to join NATO has effectively “reduced relations to zero,” he said. The same applies to Sweden, he added, which joined NATO last year.

Since 2022, Finland has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow in line with EU policy. The country has tightened entry rules for Russian citizens and later closed border checkpoints, citing an influx of asylum seekers from the Middle East and Africa. All southeastern border crossings remain shut, except for the Vainikkala rail station used for freight traffic. The closure has also hurt Finnish businesses, particularly in trade, retail and tourism, which once relied heavily on cross-border flows.

(What’s outrageous about these statements is the U.S., Europe and the EU started this war with Ukraine as a proxy. The relationship between these countries will never be the same, and they shouldn’t be.)

Photos Show US Reaper Attack Drone On North Korea's Doorstep

Aug 25, 2025 at 10:55 AM EDT

The United States recently deployed at least one Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle—capable of conducting strikes and reconnaissance—in Northeast Asia amid aggression from North Korea.

In a post on Facebook on Saturday, the 163d Attack Wing of the California Air National Guard wrote that the deployment marked the first time the drone unit had operated with South Korea's Air Force at Gwangju Air Base.

Newsweek has contacted North Korea's Embassy in Beijing for comment via email.

Why It Matters

North Korea has pushed ahead with its weapons development and military buildup while turning away from long-term efforts to secure peace on the divided peninsula with its southern neighbor.

Under a mutual defense treaty signed in 1953 following the cessation of hostilities in the Korean War, South Korea is protected by the U.S. to deter and defend against North Korea's aggression. More than 28,500 U.S. military personnel are stationed on the Korean Peninsula.

In addition to the forward-deployed U.S. Forces Korea and its extended nuclear deterrence, the Pentagon has regularly dispatched units—including aircraft carriers, nuclear-powered submarines, and supersonic bombers—to South Korea for drills and rotational deployments.

What To Know

Citing images released by the U.S. military, Yonhap News Agency reported on Friday that an MQ-9A Reaper drone—operated from a ground control station—was deployed on a rotational basis to Gwangju Air Base in South Korea's southwestern region last month.

The images—released last week—show a Reaper drone conducting an "aviation delivered ground refueling" from a U.S. Marine Corps KC-130J aircraft on July 22 and taking off from the air base on July 24, when it was also loaded onto a U.S. Marine Corps MC-130 aircraft.

"The arrival of the MQ-9 marks the first time the Republic of Korea hosted the aircraft for an extended period," one of the photo captions read, using the official name of South Korea.

In its Saturday Facebook post, the 163d Attack Wing described the deployment as a training event that sharpened skills in unmanned operations, safe flight integration, and operating in South Korea's airspace, advancing mission readiness "now and in the future."

According to the U.S. Air Force, the Reaper drone and its associated control system can be transported in a C-130 or larger aircraft. It remains unclear whether the drone has completed its deployment at the air base, located 167 miles south of Seoul.

The drone, operated by a two-man team on the ground, is equipped with visual sensors for targeting and can be armed with air-to-ground missiles and laser-guided bombs against "high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive" targets. It has a stated flight range of 1,150 miles.

What People Are Saying

The 163d Attack Wing of the California Air National Guard wrote in a Facebook post: "History was made as the 163d Attack Wing joined the Republic of Korea Air Force for the first time at [Gwangju] Air Base—showcasing true interoperability in the Indo-Pacific."

The U.S. Air Force said in a fact sheet of the MQ-9A Reaper drone: "Given its significant loiter time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision weapons, it provides a unique capability to perform strike, coordination, and reconnaissance against high-value, fleeting, and time-sensitive targets."

What Happens Next?

The disclosure of the American drone deployment in South Korea comes as North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un, oversaw his country test two new types of air defense missiles.

Poland vows full transparency in Russian drone crash probes

August 25, 2025, 03:03 AM

No information will be classified in the investigation of the Aug. 20 Russian drone crash and explosion in the Polish village of Osiny, the country’s Deputy Internal Minister Czesław Mroczek told RMF FM on Aug. 25.

“The prosecutor's office is investigating this case. The prosecutor is communicating well with the public. Nothing will be kept secret in this case,” he said, adding that it will take time to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Initial reports suggested that the drone may have deviated from its course during a Russian attack on Ukraine, crashing in the Lublin Voivodeship, about 100 kilometers (62 miles) from the Ukrainian border and roughly 70 kilometers (43 miles) north of Warsaw.

The drone was likely a military decoy without a warhead containing a small amount of explosives.

Earlier, on Aug. 20, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski publicly acknowledged that Poland’s airspace had been violated “from the east.” He promised to lodge a formal protest against the responsible party, without naming a country.

Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said the drone was Russian and accused Moscow of “provoking NATO members again” at a time when peace talks are underway.

According to the report, the drone was launched from the Russian air base in Shatalovo, Smolensk Oblast, at about 9 p.m. EET on Aug. 19.

It is unclear whether its deviation into Polish airspace was deliberate or the result of a systems malfunction.

Veterans Bring Mission Mindset to the Drone Industry

August 25, 2025

Across the country, a quiet revolution is taking flight. Veterans — forged by structure, pressure, and purpose — are now commanding America’s airspace in a new way.

We’ve swapped cargo planes and convoys for quadcopters and cloud processing, but the mission mindset hasn’t changed.

After 20 years in the U.S. Air Force — leading logistics and operations across five countries — I authored a book on systems thinking, resilience, and redefining purpose.

Then I launched HiFly Aerial Drone Services in Salt Lake City, Utah. What began with a single DJI drone has evolved into a full-service UAV company delivering thermal inspections, 3D mapping, and construction monitoring across the Intermountain West.

But this isn’t just my story. It’s part of a larger movement: veterans redefining the future of flight. We’re not just flying drones — we’re building companies, setting new standards, and bringing battlefield precision into commercial airspace.

Why Veterans Make Exceptional Drone Operators

1. Mission Planning is in Our DNA

Veterans are trained to think in layers — strategy, safety, execution. That mindset is tailor-made for FAA Part 107 compliance, airspace coordination, and risk management.

2. Tech-Forward and Fearless

From satellite systems to secure comms, military professionals are no strangers to cutting-edge tech. Adapting to UAV platforms, sensors, AI, and GIS tools like DroneDeploy? We’re built for it.

3. Regulatory Fluency

Checklists. SOPs. Chain of command. Veterans step into regulated environments with confidence — and often exceed what’s required, especially in areas like BVLOS operations and infrastructure inspections.

4. Leadership Under Pressure

Every drone flight is a mission. Veterans bring calm under pressure, clarity in chaos, and a client-ready professionalism that builds trust and delivers results.

More Than a Job: Drones as a Pathway to Purpose

For many veterans, drone entrepreneurship isn’t just a job — it’s a form of post-service reintegration.

It’s tactical. It’s mobile. It’s purpose-driven. And with VA programs like Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment (VR&E), more veterans are entering this field with access to gear, training, and startup support.

At HiFly, we’re developing:

      •     STEM-focused drone camps

      •     Veteran-led UAV training programs

      •     P.H.O.E.N.I.X., a portable client dashboard for high-impact data delivery

All built with the same attention to detail we learned in uniform.

The Future Is in the Air — And Veterans Are Leading It

Veteran-owned UAV companies are pioneering the future of:

      •     Disaster response & search-and-rescue

      •     Wildfire risk mitigation & environmental mapping

      •     AI-powered inspections for solar, wind, and infrastructure

      •     3D construction progress modeling

      •      Drone light shows & sustainable event tech

With the FAA evolving standards for BVLOS, Remote ID, and UTM, there’s never been a better moment for veterans to carve out space in the aerial economy.

Final Approach

In the Air Force, we flew with purpose. In the drone world, that hasn’t changed.

What veterans bring — discipline, situational awareness, and operational excellence — is exactly what this industry needs to scale safely and smartly.

To the drone industry:

Hire veteran pilots. Partner with veteran-owned UAV firms. Sponsor their training programs. You’ll gain far more than flight time — you’ll gain mission-ready professionals.

To my fellow veterans:

The skies are open. The tools are accessible. The mission is yours to define. Whether you’re flying for clients, communities, or causes — your next chapter could be airborne.

Rahman “Ray” Richardson is a U.S. Air Force veteran, FAA Part 107 drone pilot, and the founder of HiFly Aerial Drone Services — a Salt Lake City–based UAV company specializing in inspections, 3D mapping, and sustainable drone solutions.

He is also a published author and educator focused on resilience, systems thinking, and veteran empowerment.

ICE Arrests Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Deportation To Uganda Imminent

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem commented on X regarding ICE's arrest of alleged MS-13 illegal alien gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, stating that the deportation process has begun.

Today, ICE law enforcement arrested Kilmar Abrego Garcia and are processing him for deportation.

President Trump is not going to allow this illegal alien, who is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator to terrorize American citizens…

The Trump administration has notified lawyers of alleged MS-13 illegal alien gangster Kilmar Abrego Garcia (whom the globalist MSM portrays as a "Maryland father") that the Salvadoran national, facing human smuggling charges in Tennessee and having refused an offer by the federal government to plead guilty and serve his sentence in Costa Rica, may be deported to Uganda next week.

According to the seven-page filing in the Federal District Court in Nashville, the Salvadoran national has been instructed by the federal government to report to ICE's Baltimore, Maryland, office on Monday morning.

COGAT releases shocking footage of Hamas brutality against Gazans

Updated: AUGUST 25, 2025 18:51

The Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) on Monday publicized a series of videos of what it said were “Hamas operatives abusing, assaulting, and shooting at Gaza residents.”

COGAT published the videos as Israel and Hamas compete over the global narrative on Gaza. The terrorist organization is trying to emphasize food-insecurity issues, convincing the UN to label them as “famine.”

Jerusalem is trying to remind the world that many Gazans view themselves as prisoners under the authoritarian rule of Hamas.

Calling Hamas “the embodiment of evil and unrestrained cruelty – to preserve its bloody rule,” the videos released by COGAT mostly show extensive beatings of tied-up men lying on the ground, some with their eyes blindfolded, crying out in pain from being struck with hard objects or from being kicked.

The grainy videos also show some gunshots aimed at the people being taped.

COGAT Commander Maj.-Gen. Ghassan Alian, addressing the international community on COGAT’s English X/Twitter page, wrote: “Hamas embodies the essence of evil.

The shocking footage illustrates how the terrorist organization Hamas oppresses the population, abuses civilians, and uses unrestrained violence against people in order to maintain its bloody rule and consolidate its power.

“Hamas once again proves that it does not represent the residents of Gaza – it rules over them with force, fear, and cruelty.”

Hamas's brutality against Gazan civilians

Hamas does not deny that it beats and kills Gazans, creating many of these kinds of videos and disseminating them to spread fear among the population – especially fear of cooperating with Israel and any authority that is not Hamas.

Over the years, Hamas has frequently beaten and killed Gazans affiliated with the Palestinian Authority’s Fatah movement, Hamas’s rival, which governs the West Bank and governed Gaza until Hamas carried out a coup in 2007.

Hamas usually tries to portray those being beaten or killed as collaborators or traitors with Israel in an effort to avoid drawing attention to its own focus on simply maintaining power.

Hamas is defined by most Western countries as a terrorist group, especially after the October 7 massacre.

The sympathy of Western countries with Gazans’ food-insecurity issues, which are partly caused by Hamas, has shifted far greater attention lately to criticizing Israel’s policies regarding managing the flow of humanitarian aid and trying to cut Hamas’s control of food aid.

When every single city, state, and federal jurisdiction which investigated or charged or imprisoned someone for burning or defacing or giving a dirty look to a rainbow flag admits wrongdoing and pays restitution to its victims, we can have a discussion about whether burning an American flag is “free speech.”

Navy Officer Says Underwater UFOs Are Legitimate Threats. The Evidence Is Hard to Ignore

Aug 25, 2025 9:30 AM EDT

In mid-2014, during training flights off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia, F/A-18 pilot and U.S. Navy Lieutenant Ryan Graves began to notice something strange.

The radar returns looked off—phantom blips moving with unfathomable speed and precision. At first he dismissed it as a glitch. But then the anomalies returned, recorded by the fighter jets’ sophisticated sensors.

They would hover in place—and then dart away at supersonic speeds. They were recorded from the ocean’s surface to 40,000 feet.

“Sometimes stationary—0.0 Mach. Other times 250 to 350 knots . . .. Sometimes even supersonic—1.1 to 1.2 Mach. All altitudes. And always over the ocean,” Graves says.

After appearing only as glitches on the jets’ radar, the objects on one occasion finally came into view. Graves reported seeing a dark gray or black cube inside a clear sphere, between five and 15 feet in diameter, coming within 50 feet of their jets.

“That was the turning point,” Graves says. “We started treating it as a safety issue.”

Over the next year, Graves’s squadron recorded sightings of unidentified objects almost daily. Sometimes the objects flew in loose formations. Other times they traveled alone.

They had no exhaust, no visible propulsion, no wings. Sometimes the object would rotate in place; others vanished when approached.

As it turned out, pilots stationed off the West Coast—on missions aboard the USS Nimitz, the USS Princeton, and other carriers—had been experiencing similar things for years.

Some of these craft—now classified as UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena)—appeared to be capable of transmedium travel, meaning they are able to move from air to sea without slowing, splashing, or emitting heat.

They challenged every assumption held by aerospace engineers and radar operators.

Graves doesn’t claim to know what the objects were. But one thing was clear. “This wasn’t business as usual,” he says.

“There was a serious issue at play. It wasn’t just one rogue object. It wasn’t just us on the East Coast. It wasn’t just my squadron. It was a pattern. This was global.”

Since at least the 1950s, military sources have reported strange objects plunging into the ocean—what they call USOs (unidentified submerged objects).

These phenomena exhibit characteristics that conflict with our understanding of physics and maritime navigation. As radar and similar technologies have advanced, so have the number of sightings.

Today Graves is one of the most vocal advocates for UAP transparency.

Now retired from the military, he’s the founder of Americans for Safe Aerospace, the largest UAP-focused pilot safety initiative in the world, and works with former Pentagon and naval officials to push for greater transparency.

He doesn’t claim that these craft are alien, but he’s certain that they aren’t using known human tech.

“Where that leaves us opens up options—extraterrestrial visitors, time travelers, breakaway civilizations . . . things that challenge the status quo and aren’t easily accepted at face value,” he says.

Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, PhD, an oceanographer, was one of the first to view footage from the UAP incidents in 2015 involving fighter jets attached to the USS Theodore Roosevelt, which at the time was conducting training exercises off the coast of Florida.

Two videos captured by Navy fighter jets that were made public in 2020 show strange craft flying at incredible speeds with no visible means of propulsion, sometimes rotating in midair.

“I knew then that what I saw was not our technology. We don’t test experimental aircraft in training ranges—it’s too dangerous—and I had access to everything classified. No nation has craft that can move like that,” he says.

Nolte: Far-Left NYT Reports First Immigrant Population Drop in Decades

John Nolte25 Aug 2025

As though it’s a bad thing, the far-left New York Times reported that for the first time in decades the immigration population has dropped in the U.S.

“For the first time in decades, more immigrants are leaving the United States than arriving, a new study finds,” the Times reported, adding that this signifies “an early indication that President Trump’s hard-line immigration agenda is leading people to depart — whether through deportation or by choice.”

“An analysis of new census data released … found that between January and June, the foreign-born population in the United States — both lawful and unlawful residents — declined by nearly 1.5 million,” the report continued. “In June, the country was home to 51.9 million immigrants, down from 53.3 million six months earlier.”

Naturally, the Times summed it all up using unnamed, cherry-picked “experts”:

But experts predict looming negative economic and demographic consequences for the United States if the trend persists. Immigrants are a critical work force in many sectors, and the country’s reliance on them is growing as more baby boomers retire.

The Times even went as far as to advocate for illegal alien labor…

“Restaurants, farms and assisted-living facilities are already grappling with labor shortages that could become more pronounced,” one so-called expert told the Times. “Many of those roles are filled by undocumented immigrants, whose population reached 14 million in 2023[.]”

If the Times is telling you the overall illegal population is 14 million, you can bet it’s at least twice that.

The Times said the study does not distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants who are leaving the country, but why would a legal immigrant leave the country? It makes no sense.

There are some numbers on that…

According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics studyreleased this month,the overall foreign-born population drop is higher than what the Timesreported: 2.2 million, which is made up of 1.6 million illegal aliens.

To me, the most interesting factor is this: According to a separate Times’ report from last week, since Trump took office, ICE has deported 180,000 illegals (the administration says it’s closer to 330,000).

Either way.

Let’s say that 1.6 million illegals are no longer in the country and that ICE only deported 180,000 to 330,000 of those 1.6 million.This tells us that Trump’s push to incentivize self-deportation is working.

And when I say “incentivize,” I don’t only mean the positive incentives offered by the administration that include airfare back to your home country and $1,000 after you arrive.The negative incentives are, in my opinion, even more effective. Just the fact that we have a president who is actually enforcing the law is a major incentive because the era of illegals feeling comfortable living here has finally come to an end.

Additionally,Trump is aggressively removing the magnets Democrats put in place to attract illegal aliens: Welfare, food stamps, free housing, and free health insurance. Do you get free housing and health insurance? I sure don’t.

Removing 14 million to 30 million illegals will be next to impossible, even for Trump.Incentivizing illegals to self-deport is the real key. And I would argue that the way the administration is handling the “Maryland Man” case is part of that strategy.

Democrats and their regime media allies have turned Kilmar Abrego Garcia into a sacred cow, even though he is a credibly accused gangbanger, human trafficker, and wife-beater. But the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) just keeps coming at him. After he was deported to El Salvador, a judge ordered Garcia’s return. Garcia returned but was immediately jailed on criminal charges. Then a judge released him. Then ICE took him into custody for deportation to Uganda.

Where this ends up, no one knows,but the message it sends to America’s illegal immigrants is that even the most sacred of cows among you are not safe from justice, and if the backing of the media and the Democrat party cannot protect this man, no one in this country illegally is safe from deportation.

Everything Trump is doing is working, and he deserves credit for the self-deportations as well, because those have always been part of his plan.

Canada PM Mark Carney Bails to Ukraine After Dropping Trump Tariff Fight

Frances Martel25 Aug 20251/2(Canada is totally fucked, unless they get rid of the NWO they will never be free.)

Leftist Canadian Prime MinisterMark Carney visited Kyiv on Friday to sign agreements supporting the country’s efforts to stop the ongoing Russian invasionof its land, leaving Canada shortly after agreeing to drop tariffs on the United States.

Carney’s tariff policy is notable, and somewhat surprising, after he campaigned for the top office almost entirely on a promise to challenge President Donald Trump, dismantle the longstanding friendly relationship between Canada and America, and convince the United States to drop tariffs Trump imposed to protect American industries. The emphasis on supporting Ukraine represents an abrupt shift away from Carney’s signature campaign policy, the opposition to American interests.

The Liberal leader was first appointed to succeed longtime radical leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March after the latter announced his retirement in the face of shockingly low approval ratings and a surge in popularity for the Conservative Party. Despite having no political experience before becoming prime minister, Carney successfully eliminated a 26 percent conservative polling lead and defeated rival Pierre Poilievre in a general election in April.Almost immediately after winning the prime ministership, Carney dropped his opposition to Trump, visiting the White House and agreeing to policies that brought Canada more in line with Trump’s economic vision for the relationship.

The issue of tariffs, dominant in Canadian headlines on Friday, rapidly evaporated as Carney materialized in Kyiv. The Canadian leader met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in anticipation of Ukrainian Independence Day and signed a variety of agreements to help bolster the Ukrainian military and oppose Russian imperialism.

Zelensky expressed gratitude for the visit and described their private talks as relating to “diplomacy, work within the Coalition of the Willing, sanctions efforts, energy cooperation,Canada’s potential assistance in Ukraine’s reconstruction and rehabilitation programs for our veterans, as well as our defense cooperation.”(Canada is broke and will be broker soon)

Carney reportedly committed millions to help Ukraineproduce a larger army of drones, which Zelensky called the “number one priority in defense and tactical operations, as they help save lives on the battlefield.”

The Canadian prime minister’s office issued a statement that, in addition to repeating Zelensky’s emphasis on weapons procurement,went out of its way to express gratitude to the Trump administration for its efforts.

“The two leaders discussed Russia’s ongoing war of aggression and welcomed U.S. leadership in working toward an end to the killing,” a readout of Carney and Zelensky’s conversation read. “The Prime Minister and the President agreedthat just and lasting peace can only exist with robust and credible security guarantees, and that no decisions about Ukraine can be made without Ukraine.” (==Never going to happen, security guarantees can’t be there. No NATO involvement. Everything is a lie with these creaps)

The two countries also issued a joint statement celebrating that Carney’s presence in Kyiv “reaffirmed the strong and enduring partnership between Canada and Ukraine, grounded in shared democratic values, respect for sovereignty and international law, and a mutual understanding that borders must not be altered by force.”

“The leaders called for an immediate, complete, and unconditional ceasefire as a first step toward launching a genuine peace process aligned with the principles of the United Nations Charter,” the statement read. “They emphasized the importance of reliable security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any future peace agreement.”

The countries’ statement did not elaborate on what commitments should be included in an unconditional ceasefire, nor did it in any way define “reliable security guarantees.”

The Ukraine visit served to divert attention from Carney’s pro-U.S. tariff policy. On Thursday, Carney called President Trump in anticipation of the announcement that Ottawa would soon drop tariffs. The prime minister’s office described the talk as “productive and wide-ranging” and addressing “current trade challenges, opportunities, and shared priorities in a new economic and security relationship between Canada and the U.S.”

On Friday, Carney confirmed that Canada would drop retaliatory tariffs on the United States imposed during the Trudeau era — rather than imposing more retaliatory tariffsin response to Trump’s escalation of fees on goods not included in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a continental free trade agreement, throughout the year.

“Canada and the United States have reestablished free trade for the vast majority of our goods. Canada will retain our tariffs on steel, aluminum and autos as we work intensively to resolve the issues there,” Carney declared in victory last week.

The prime minister framed his caving to pressure from Washington as nonetheless beneficial to Canadabecause the country allegedly still “has the best trade deal with the United States. And while it’s different from what we had before, it’s still better than that of any other country.”

Carney also emphasized that over 85 percent of trade between the two countries remains tariff-free as part of the USMCA.

While campaigning in April,Carney vowed not just to counter demands from America for a better trade atmosphere, but to fight tariffs Canada had nothing to do with. At the beginning of that month, President Donald Trump announced a slew of tariffs on nearly every country that does business with the United States, subject to individual negotiation. The White House explicitly stated at the time that Canada and Mexico were not part of the package of “Liberation Day” tariffs, but Carney issued a defiant public statement, anyway.

“We are going to fight these tariffs with countermeasures. We are going to protect our workers and we are going to build the strongest economy in the G7,”Carney bizarrely vowed. “In a crisis, it’s important to come together and it’s essential to act with purpose and with force, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

Carney campaigned on ending the longstanding friendly relationship with the United States.

“Over the coming weeks, months, and years, we must fundamentally reimagine our economy,” Carney promised Canadians. “We will need to ensure Canada can succeed in a drastically different world. The old relationship we had with the U.S. based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military co-operation is over.”

Carney campaigned against conservative rivalPierre Poilievre by falsely declaring him to be too friendly to Trump — a statement clearly rebutted by Trump’s own commentsabout the Canadian election.

“I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a Liberal. And maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care. It doesn’t matter to me at all,” Trump said in an interview in March.

Of Poilievre, Trump said, “the Conservative that’s running is stupidly no friend of mine. I don’t know him, but he said negative things. So, when he says negative things, I couldn’t care less.”

US won’t play key role in Ukraine’s security guarantees — Trump

Washington should support the effort led by Europe, the has president said

(Hilarious Kek, who didn’t know this was coming?This means no one can do it without the U.S. they were counting on Trump paying for it; and NATO countries can’t go without US. US will not defend a non NATO country, nor cause major division with Russia)

Europe must take the lead in providing “significant security guarantees” to Ukraine, US President Donald Trump said on Monday.Washington’s role will be supportive rather than primary, he stressed.

“Europe is going to give them significant security guarantees — and they should, because they’re right there,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office. He added that Washington would remain involved “from the standpoint of backup.”

This isn't the first time Trump has clarified Washington’s role in resolving the Ukraine conflict. Speaking in the Oval Office last week with Vladimir Zelensky,Trump was asked if security guarantees for Kiev could involve US troops.

We’ll let you know that maybe later today,we’re meeting with the leaders of seven great countries. There will be a lot of help.Europe is the first line of defensebecause they are there, but we’re going to help, we’ll be involved.

Since the taks with ZelenskyTrump has also clarified++ that as far as Washington is concerned, Ukraine getting Crimea back and joining NATO are both “impossible.” ==

He told Fox & Friends last Tuesday that Kiev had approached the US-led military bloc to seek help in trying to get the peninsula back.

“They went in and said ‘We want to get Crimea back’. This was at the beginning,”Trump revealed.“The other thing they said was ‘We want to be a member of NATO’. Well, both of those things are impossible.”

“It was always a no-no,” both during the time of the Soviet Union, and now with Russia,Trump explained, adding that Russia has always stressed it did not want “the enemy” on its border.

Zelensky said on Saturday that new details of security guarantees for Ukraine would be ready “in the coming days.”

“The teams of Ukraine, the United States, and European partners” are working together on the architecture of these guarantees, he said. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stressed that “robust security guarantees will be essential” and claimed that Washington, despite its limited role, would remain part of the process.

Zelenskyand his Western European backershave called for “Article 5-like guarantees” that would obligate countries to respond collectively if Ukraine were attacked. ==He also proposed defining which states would be responsible for ground support, air defense, and maritime security, alongside commitments to fund Ukraine’s armed forces.=+

Speaking in Kiev on Friday NATO chief Rutte called for strengthening Ukraine’s military capacity and putting in place binding guarantees from Europe and the US. Some nations have even floated sending peacekeepers, while Canada has not ruled out contributing troops.Washington has rejected deploying ground forces but left open the possibility of air support. (Which won’t ever happen obviously.)

After meeting Trump earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed that Ukraine’s security must be ensured but warned against solutions that exclude Moscow. Russian ForeignMinister Sergei Lavrov argued that guarantees “must be subject to consensus” and denounced proposals involving foreign military intervention as “absolutely unacceptable.

(Zelensky thought he was successfully conning Trump, because Trump was so attentive,but the idiots didn’t listen to his words, they never do, so once again Trump dodges the stupid EU and Ukraine trap.)

Trump Signs Order Targeting American-Flag-Burning, Desecration

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Aug. 25 that directs the attorney general to prosecute those caught burning the American flag or desecrating it in other ways.

"If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail," Trump said.

"You will see flag burning stop immediately."

“The people in our country don’t want to see our flag burned and spit on.”

A Supreme Court ruling in 1989, Texas v. Johnson, overturned the law and declared the act of flag desecration protected as symbolic speech under the First Amendment.

“It was a very sad court, a 5–4 decision,” Trump said.

In that case, a Texas court convicted Gregory Lee Johnson of burning an American flag outside the 1984 Republican National Convention in Dallas after marching with protesters.

“The government generally has a freer hand in restricting expressive conduct than it has in restricting the written or spoken word,” Justice William J. Brennan wrote in the court‘s opinion.

“It may not, however, proscribe particular conduct because it has expressive elements.”

The president said the issue goes beyond speech, as it can lead to violence.

“When you burn the American flag, it incites riots,” Trump said.

We give Matt Taibbi the final word on this decision by The White House...

Zelensky claims Ukraine has united EU and US

Relations between Washington and Brussels have been strained as Trump has called on Europe to play a bigger role in its security

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky has claimed that his country can be considered the foundation of Western unity. His comments come amid strained relations between Washington and Brussels over defense spending issues and further military aid to Kiev.

In a Telegram post on Sunday, Zelensky said“Ukraine can in a single day gather and unite the world’s leaders around itself.”He further claimed thatKiev has “restored the unity of Europe and the US and now serves as the foundation of this alliance.”

However, ties between the US and its European NATO partners have only deteriorated since US President Donald Trump took officein January. He has demanded that these nations play a larger role in their own security and pay for any further US military support for Kiev. He’s also imposed 15% tariffs on most imports from the EU.

Amid his efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict,Trump has also restored US diplomatic contacts with Moscow, held multiple phone calls with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and met his counterpart in Alaska earlier this month to discuss a peace deal.

Last week, Trump hosted Zelensky in Washington along with several other European leaders, who arrived to support him after his previous visit to the White House, in February, ended in a shouting match. Back then, Zelensky was accused by Trump of being ungrateful and “gambling with World War III” by refusing peace with Russia.

The latest summits have been described by Trump as “productive.”He has suggested that a peace deal, which would likely include land swaps, has become more feasible.

However, Zelensky has rejected such proposals, vowing in his Independence Day address that Ukraine would retake Crimeaand other former Ukrainian regions, despite Trump himself stating it would be “impossible” for the peninsula to return to Kiev’s control.

Moscow has repeatedly described the Ukraine conflict as a Western proxy war against Russia, but has said it remains open to a negotiated settlement.

Russian officials have insisted, however, that any deal must address the root causes of the crisis and include Ukrainian neutrality, demilitarization, and recognition of the territories that voted to join Russia between 2014 and 2022.

(Zelensky the war maker must be embarrassed about his totally stupid announcementUkraine is truly not a sovereign nation, they keep forgetting that.)

Ex-Ukrainian commander ‘biding time’ to challenge Zelensky – Guardian

A recent poll shows that Valery Zaluzhny, currently Kiev’s ambassador to London, is more popular than Vladimir Zelensky

There is an “increasing belief” in Kiev that former commander-in-chief, Valery Zaluzhny, is preparing to go head-to-head with Vladimir Zelensky in a potential presidential race, The Guardian has claimed.

Amid growing tensions, Ukrainian leader Zelensky removed the general from his post in February 2024 and dispatched him to the UK to serve as Kiev’s ambassador.

In an article on Monday,The Guardian claimed that while Zaluzhny has painstakingly concealed any political ambition he may have, “many assume he is just biding his time before entering the fray.”The British newspaper cited the general-turned-envoy’s supposed musings as to how he would present himself to Ukrainian voters and what platform he would run on, should he decide to vie for the presidency.

The outlet further stated that Zaluzhny has been receiving a steady flow of Ukrainian and Western dignitaries at both the embassy in London and in Kiev earlier this year.(Zelensky chose to send him to the UK)

The Guardian also quoted anonymous sources as saying that in March, following the infamous showdown between Zelensky and US President Donald Trump at the White House,Vice President J.D. Vance secretly reached out to Zaluzhny, in an apparent attempt to sound him out as a potential alternative leader. He reportedly turned down Vance’s overtures.

Last week, freelance journalist Katie Livingstone claimed that Zaluzhny was “quietly preparing a run for president – in direct opposition to Zelensky.”She quoted an unnamed sourceas suggesting that his team had “effectively begun” an unofficial PR campaign.

Zaluzhny’s press representative was quick to deny the speculation.

A survey of 1,000 people in Ukraine conducted July 4-5 by ‘Rating’ indicated that the former commander-in-chief was trusted by 73% of respondents. That would put him in first place among political figures in the country, with Zelensky trailing six percentage points behind, the poll suggested.

Another survey by a different pollster in late June showed that 41% of Ukrainians believed the country was drifting toward authoritarianism.

Zelensky’s presidential term expired in May 2024, but he has refused to hold new elections, citing martial law. The Kremlin insists that the Ukrainian leader has lost legitimacy.

Western and Ukrainian officials held ‘secret meeting’ on ousting Zelensky – Russian intel

Top officials in Kiev have backed plans to replace the Ukrainian leader with former military chief Valery Zaluzhny, the SVR has said

US and UK officials have secretly met with key Ukrainian powerbrokers to discuss ousting Vladimir Zelensky and replacing him with former military chief Valery Zaluzhny, according to Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).

In a statement on Tuesday, the SVR claimed Western officials had gathered at an undisclosed Alpine resort with top Zelensky aide Andrey Yermak, Ukrainian military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov, and Zaluzhny, who is currently Kiev’s ambassador to the UK.

According to the agency, all sides agreed “it is high time” for Zelensky to be replaced and called the change “a key condition for resetting Kiev’s relations with the West and continuing Western military aid.”

The SVR reported that US and UK officials told their Ukrainian counterparts they want Zaluzhny to become president. The agency claimed that Yermak and Budanov “saluted” the plan and secured promises that they would keep their current posts if Zaluzhny took over.

Zaluzhny, who served as commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces between 2021 and 2024, has enjoyed high approval ratings, with speculation that he would likely beat Zelensky in a potential presidential election.

The SVR also claimed the covert meeting revealed why Zelensky had initially backed a bill that would have stripped two Ukrainian anti-corruption bodies of their independence. The crackdown sparked protests at home and criticism from the West, prompting Zelensky to roll back the reform.

According to the SVR, Yermak “set up”Zelensky by advising him to push the controversial law, knowing this would undermine his image abroadand provide justification for Western partners to seek his removal.

The SVR went on to address ordinary Ukrainians, saying: “A new president of your country has been chosen at an Alpine resort. Is this the triumph of Ukrainian democracy and independence you dreamed of?”

Zelensky’s presidential term expired last May, but he has refused to hold a new election, citing martial law. .

President Trump to Sue to Prevent Grassley From Blocking of Alina Habba’s Confirmation for US Attorney with Unconstitutional ‘Blue Slip’ Custom(VIDEO)

By Cristina Laila Aug. 25, 2025 12:

President Trump on Monday said he will be filing a lawsuit to prevent Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) from blocking Alina Habba’s confirmation for US Attorney of New Jersey with the unconstitutional ‘blue slip’ custom.

Late Sunday evening, President Trump once again called out Grassley for blocking judicial confirmations because of the outdated ‘blue slip’ custom that defers nominations to the home state senators.

“I have a Constitutional Right to appoint Judges and U.S. Attorneys, but that RIGHT has been completely taken away from me in States that have just one Democrat United States Senator. This is because of an old and outdated “custom” known as a BLUE SLIP, that Senator Chuck Grassley, of the Great State of Iowa, refuses to overturn,even though the Democrats, including Crooked Joe Biden (Twice!), have done so on numerous occasions. Therefore, the only candidates that I can get confirmed for these most important positions are, believe it or not, Democrats! Chuck Grassley should allow strong Republican candidates to ascend to these very vital and powerful roles, and tell the Democrats, as they often tell us, to go to HELL!” Trump said on Truth Social on Sunday.

As previously reported, last Thursday, US District Judge Mathew Brann, an Obama appointee, said Alina Habba is “not lawfully holding the Office of US Attorney” of New Jersey.

The Pennsylvania-based federal judge oversaw a challenge to Alina Habba’s authority because the judges in New Jersey had a conflict of interest after they ousted her from her position as interim US Attorney last month.

A group of federal judges last month declined to extend Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her.

Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney was set to expire after 120 days. Habba resigned as Interim US Attorney and became Acting US Attorney for New Jersey after the Trump DOJ outmaneuvered the judges.

Last week, Alina Habba said Senate JudiciaryChairman Chuck Grassley is trying to block her confirmation in the Senate by holding up the ‘blue slip’ tradition.

BREAKING: President Trump says he will be SUING to prevent Chuck Grassley from blocking Alina Habba's confirmation for US Attorney

LFG @AlinaHabba!

Grassley is working with Democrat Senators from New Jersey in a "gentlemen's agreement," giving them VETO POWER over Habba's confirmation.

It's called a "blue slip," and it's not based on ANY law at all.

"The only person I could get approved are Democrats or maybe weak Republicans. We don't want that."

"This is based on an old custom. Not based on law. I think it is unconstitutional."

CONFIRM @USAttyHabba!

Looks like Israel is on a war crimes rampage today. In addition to bombing a Hospital and killing killing at least 20 people, including five journalists they waited for the rescue team to show up and killed them too. The US Congress's greatest ally.

Trump rethinks sending feds to ‘killing field’ Chicago after mayor resists: ‘Want to be asked to go’

By Published Aug. 25, 2025, 3:02

WASHINGTON —President Trump indicated Monday he was leaning against deploying federal forces to fight crime in Chicago, saying he doesn’t want to “barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians.”

Trump had said Friday that he planned to replicate his DC crime crackdown in the Windy City, followed by New York City — only to be met with local pushback.

Democratic Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said he was “evaluating all of our legal options to protect the people of Chicago from unconstitutional federal overreach.”

“In a certain way, you really want to be asked to go,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday morning.

“You know, I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly by corrupt politicians and bad politicians, like a guy like [Illinois Gov. JB] Pritzker, he has to spend more time in the gym.”

“They have a political thing about it,” Trump added while signing anti-crime executive orders.

“It’s like the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. But I don’t like going to a town, city, place, a state, and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is rampant.”

Trump noted that on Friday he had “made the statement that next should be Chicago, because, as you all know, Chicago is a killing field right now, and they don’t acknowledge it, and they say, ‘We don’t need him. Freedom! Freedom! He’s a dictator. He’s a dictator.’

“A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator.’ I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator,” the president went on.

“I’m a man with great common sense and a smart person, and when I see what’s happening to our cities, and then you send in troops, instead of being praised, they’re saying, ‘You’re trying to take over the Republic!’ These people are sick.”

Trump’s abrupt reversal followed his claim that African-American women were wearing red “Make America Great Again” hats and pleading for federal intervention in Chicago.

He did not mention any updated plans for New York City.

Trump has mobilized hundreds of National Guard members and federal agents to help fight violent crime in Washington. He ordered similarsurges of federal resources to various cities in 2020, during his first term.
