President Trump: This is a very big evening that took place last night. We have to be surrounded by safe, secure countries. And we also have to have energy. Very important. We have to have energy that's real energy, not where they're getting four percent, and five percent of the energy out of the ground.

Russia, Iran, China Outraged At US 'Flagrant Armed Aggression' On Venezuela As EU Shrugs

The international reaction to America's bombing campaign against Venezuela, during which time US special forces did a grab and nab of longtime President Nicolás Maduro has been predictably mixed.

Global leftist leaders condemned a US attack in Venezuela that led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Caracas.

Brazil, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, and Cuba rejected the US military action, with some calling for a meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

US Democrats have raised questions over the legality of the strikes

While Europe has issued statements of placid acceptance - and also generally a 'wait and see' type approach - the reaction from BRICS countries and Washington rivals has been one of horror and swift condemnation.

First Russia: Moscow quickly condemned the blatant "act of armed aggression" against a sitting head of state and Russian ally, ​the Russian ‍Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. "In the current situation, ‍it ⁠is important … to prevent further escalation and to focus on finding a way out ​of ‌the situation through dialogue," the ministry added.

"The pretexts used to justify these actions are untenable," Moscow stressed. "Russia reaffirms its solidarity with the Venezuelan people."

"Venezuela ⁠must ​be ‍guaranteed ‍the ⁠right to ​determine ‌its ‌own ‌destiny ⁠without any destructive, ‌military intervention ‍from ‌outside.

“‍We ⁠reaffirm ​our ‍solidarity with ‍the Venezuelan ⁠people and our ​support ‌for its ‌leadership’s ‌policy ⁠of defending the ‌country’s national ‍interests and ‌sovereignty," it added.

Second Iran: Tehran itself has been in Trump's crosshairs this week against ongoing protests focused on economic hardship in the country, amid crippling US-led sanctions and coming off a recent, brief war with Israel.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wrote on X, "What’s important is when one realizes an enemy wants to force something on one’s govt. or nation with false claims, they must stand firmly against that enemy."

At this moment, however, there have been scant signs of any real fight or resistance on the part of the Venezuelan Army, suggesting this could have had help from the inside, akin to a coup which had the support of the US.

"We won’t give in to them. With reliance on God & confidence in the people’s support, we'll bring the enemy to its knees," Iran's top cleric added.

EU leadership shrugs after long lecturing the world on the so-called "rules-based order"...

After highlighting the death and destruction caused by drug cartels flooding the United States with drugs and criminals through Mexico, Trump added, “Something’s gonna have to be done with Mexico.”

WATCH:

Trump: Well, it wasn’t meant to be, we’re very friendly with her, she’s a good woman, but the cartels are running Mexico. She’s not running Mexico. The cartels are running Mexico. And we can be politically correct and be nice and say, “Oh yes, she is.” No, No, she’s very, you know, she’s very frightened of the cartels. They’re running Mexico. And I’ve asked her numerous times, would you like us to take out the cartels? “No, no no, Mr. President, no no, no, please.” So, we have to do something, because we lost— the real number is 300,000 people, in my opinion.

You know, they like to say 100,000. 100,000 is a lot of people, but the real number is 300,000 people, and we lost it to drugs. And they come in through the southern border, mostly the southern border, a lot, plenty come in through Canada too, by the way. In case you don’t know, but they come in through the southern border, and something’s gonna have to be done with Mexico.

Israeli military ordered to prepare for war on all fronts amid Iranian protests

A new long-term plan reportedly envisions a “dramatic expansion” of all IDF military activity, including weapons in outer space

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been ordered to prepare for a possible simultaneous war against Iran, Lebanon, and the West Bank, according to Israeli Channel 12. One scenario reportedly includes an “explosive operation” against Tehran, which is currently facing widespread Israeli-backed cost-of-living protests.

The preparations are part of a four-year long-term plan led by IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, the broadcaster revealed on Wednesday. On top of war readiness, they also reportedly include plans to develop capabilities to attack both satellites and ground targets from space.

Officials in West Jerusalem expect Iran to attack Israel to “prevent the dissolution” of the Iranian government under the pressure of the protests, Channel 12 said.

Israel has held off on officially commenting on the mass unrest shaking Iran, concerned about a potential military response, Channel 12 claimed. However, Israel’s Mossad spy agency has openly backed the protests on social media, and claimed that it has agents embedded in the demonstrations.

The demonstrations began in late December, prompted by hyperinflation and an enduring economic crisis in the sanctioned Islamic Republic.

The unrest, the worst in recent years, rapidly spread to multiple cities and reportedly led to deadly clashes with the Iranian authorities, with some protesters demanding the reinstatement of the monarchy, ousted by the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

US President Donald Trump has threatened to militarily intervene. “We are locked and loaded and ready to go” if Iran kills “peaceful protesters,” he said on Truth Social on Friday.

Just days before, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited Florida, Trump threatened to back new airstrikes on Iran if it ramps up its ballistic missile program.

Last June, Trump ordered the US military to join coordinated military strikes with Israel against Iranian nuclear sites during an open conflict between Tehran and West Jerusalem. He claimed the attack preempted the development of a nuclear weapon by the Islamic Republic – allegations Iran denied, condemning the attack as unprovoked.

NYPD Found Box of Abandoned Police Uniforms Just Days Before Mamdani Was Sworn In

A large cardboard box overflowing with NYPD uniforms was abandoned near Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery, cops said on Thursday.

A 911 call led police to the box containing department pants, shirts, jackets and hats on a roadside in the 66th Precinct around 8:39 p.m. Tuesday, cops said.

Video posted online shows officers taking uniforms from the box at 37th St. and Ninth Ave. in Borough Park and stuffing them into plastic bags.

The “blues” were taken to the 66th Precinct stationhouse for safekeeping, police said.

The unusual discovery fueled speculation online, with one X user noting the find nearly coincided with Mamdani’s swearing-in at midnight Thursday morning.

“This was not smart to do … these uniforms could be used in future attacks on the city,” Derick Brough commented on X. “They [police] could have articulated their disgust with mayoral selection in other ways.”

Similarly, another poster also saw a possibly sinister motive behind the curious occurrence.

Trump: I Have Good Relationship with Xi, ‘They’re Going to Get Oil’, People Will Be Allowed to Have Oil

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” President Donald Trump discussed the capture of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela and stated that he has a good relationship with China’s Xi Jinping, and “there’s not going to be a problem. And they’re going to get oil. We’re going to allow people to have oil.”

Co-host Nicole Saphier asked, [relevant remarks begin around 22:05] “Mr. President, what do you make of the fact that, just hours before the airstrike, there was a Chinese delegation meeting with Nicolas Maduro, and we have yet to hear from China any sort of comment on the attacks?”

Trump answered, “I know nothing about that. But I have a very good relationship with President Xi, and there’s not going to be a problem. And they’re going to get oil. We’re going to allow people to have oil. But we can’t take a chance of — after having done this incredible thing last night — of letting somebody else take over where we have to do it again.”

Earlier in the interview, Trump stated that he sees the United States will be “very strongly involved in” the Venezuelan oil industry in the future.

Former CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge exposes how the network suppressed the Hunter Biden story

An ousted veteran CBS reporter has written a lengthy expose claiming to reveal details about how the network squashed a Hunter Biden story.

Writing on her newsletter, Catherine Herridge described the broadcaster’s investigation into the laptop as a ‘missed opportunity for CBS News’, suggesting the broadcaster failed to properly report her findings.

Herridge said she told company executives the laptop contained material about ‘a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm’ along with Hunter’s business texts and emails in early October 2020.

But later that month, during a 60 Minutes interview with then-President Trump, correspondent Lesley Stahl said the laptop ‘couldn’t be verified’, according to Herridge. ‘As I watched the broadcast, I felt sick,’ she wrote.

It comes after two IRS whistleblowers sat down with Herridge for an interview and told her they were banned from investigating Joe Biden amid the government’s probe into his son.

YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP: Portland Rolls Out PAID “Immigration Leave” — City Workers Get 40 Hours Off for Deportation Hearings While Taxpayers Foot the Bill, No Questions Asked

The City of Portland has officially rolled out a new taxpayer-funded benefit: paid “Immigration, Naturalization, and Citizenship Leave” Human Resources Administrative Rule (HRAR) 6.15.

City officials have now committed public funds to cover paid leave for immigration court proceedings—including deportation hearings while blocking basic oversight, all while the city is facing a $66 million shortfall.

As of January 1, 2026, city workers in Portland, Oregon, can now clock out for up to 40 hours a year — without losing pay or benefits — to deal with immigration-related legal matters for themselves or for family members.

Eligible employees may use this leave for activities such as:

Obtaining legal support or meeting with immigration or criminal defense attorneys

Attending interviews or tests related to naturalization or citizenship

Appearing at state or federal criminal court proceedings

Deportation hearings

Matters involving “unlawful detention” related to immigration status.

For the first 40 hours each year, this leave is paid and coded in the payroll system as IMLV, with the employee remaining on regular payroll the entire time.

The policy does not stop with the employee.

HRAR 6.15 explicitly allows this paid leave to be used to support:

A spouse

A child

A parent

A sibling

Or anyone with a “close association” equivalent to family.

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the policy is its strict privacy mandate.

Under HRAR 6.15, supervisors and managers are prohibited from asking about or collecting information related to:

An employee’s immigration status

Citizenship status

Country of birth

Employees are also instructed not to provide such information to the city, except where strictly required by state or federal law

Requests are recorded in the payroll system, but the underlying details are intentionally shielded. Managers are even warned not to exchange specific request details via email.
