Trump Says He’ll Declare the Hormuz Strait a US Territory ‘Pretty Soon’

The president said the takeover of the vital waterway would happen once U.S. forces defeat Iran.

President Donald Trump announced on Friday his intention to declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, introducing a new position regarding the strategically vital waterway at the center of the ongoing conflict with Iran.

Speaking at a rally in Long Island, New York, Trump said the declaration would come after U.S. forces have defeated the Iranian regime.

“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated, pretty soon I'll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said.

His remarks came two days after he said the United States has “total control” over the strait.

“I think we will keep it,” he wrote on his Truth Social platform in all capital letters.

“Our Naval Blockade is being called, by everyone, ‘A WALL OF STEEL,’ and there is nothing Iran can do about it.”

At Friday’s rally, Trump also defended the U.S. military campaign against the Islamic regime, stating that Washington “cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.”

“It’s the number one state sponsor of terror in the world,” Trump said, noting that Americans are paying “a tiny little bit more for [their] gasoline” so that “a very evil country” doesn’t obtain a nuclear weapon.

This is a developing story that will be updated.

The Code Talkers

Today, we honor the legacy of the Navajo Code Talkers, whose courage, resilience, and native language forever changed the course of history.

During World War II, the Marine Corps turned to a method of communication that Japanese intelligence could never crack: the Navajo language.

In 1942, a group of Navajo Marines developed an unbreakable oral code that allowed for fast and secure communication during battles throughout the Pacific Theater of Operations.

Because of the code's strategic value, their heroic contributions remained secret until 1968.

Semper Fidelis.

Trump asks Supreme Court to let him build ballroom, citing national security needs and architectural values. 1/3

President Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to allow him to build a ballroom at the White House, citing previous threats to Trump’s life, national security needs and architectural values.

The emergency request filed Friday comes after lower courts repeatedly ruled that Trump needed approval from Congress before moving forward with the $400 million project. The filing also includes new renderings of the ballroom that show stylistic changes, including the addition of at least two large presidential seals in gold on the outside of the building.

The latest rebuke came last week, when an appeals court in Washington, DC, said the president lacked any authority to unilaterally pursue the planned ballroom and ordered him to stop work at the site of the former East Wing until lawmakers gave their blessing. But the court paused implementation of its decision for 14 days to give Trump time to appeal to the justices.

US Solicitor General John Sauer argued in the filing with the Supreme Court that the East Wing construction was “absolutely required “ for the president’s safety, noting the attempts that have been made on Trump’s life in recent years.

“The President of the United States of America is not a tenant, but rather the sole, elected head of the Executive Branch, and Congress has authorized him to renovate, secure, and protect the White House and its grounds, as other Presidents have been allowed to do, without exception,” Sauer wrote. “The injunction is ‘judicial overreach beyond the proper province of the federal courts.’”

The request is th first time any of Trump’s pet projects has landed before the Supreme Court. In recent months, lower courts sifting through a litany of cases challenging his plans to remake Washington have looked skeptically at his arguments defending his approach or issued rulings frustrating his pursuits.

In the ballroom case, the DC Circuit Court of Appeals agreed on August 7 with a federal judge’s ruling directing Trump to halt work on the above-ground portions of the ballroom. Both rulings permitted construction of a highly sophisticated bunker under the ballroom to continue.

“Whether or not a massive ballroom should be constructed is for Congress to decide and is not a matter for Executive self-help,” the DC Circuit said in its 2-1 ruling.

The case was brought last year by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the nation’s top historic preservation group.

“The National Trust has shown, compellingly, that Congress has not ceded unfettered authority to the Executive Branch to dramatically redesign, reshape, and reconstruct the White House – the People’s House – to fit a particular President’s desires,” the appeals court concluded.

The preservation group has until noon on Tuesday to respond to Trump’s petition at the high court.

White House stresses security

The Trump administration argued Friday that the carveout the lower courts made for continued construction of the security bunker was not enough, and said the order “threatens the security and safety of the President.”

“The entire ballroom structure is designed to shield the military installation beneath it,” Sauer wrote, “Halting the Project will stall this vital construction, making this President — the subject of recurrent assassination attempts — much less safe, and risking future Presidents’ safety.”

Above-grade construction on the ballroom began in the spring and has made considerable progress. Images posted by Trump in early August reveal multiple levels of concrete support columns and metal rebar amid a significant amount of construction equipment, including a tower crane.

The president has been personally involved in ballroom details, from floor plans to marble selection. The sprawling ballroom project has an estimated size of approximately 89,000 square feet, according to lead architect Shalom Baranes. By contrast, the primary White House structure, the Executive Mansion, is just 55,000 square feet.

Trump has maintained that the project isn’t subject to any oversight and that he should be able to continue with it without any serious scrutiny.

The administration said Friday that “Congress gave the President the power to make “alteration[s]” and “improvement[s]” to the White House “as the President may determine.”

Trump has said it will be finished in the summer of 2028, an expedited timeline for completion months before he leaves office.

His administration argued to the Supreme Court that freezing the construction at this stage “would create a veritable obstacle course for the Secret Service, further imperiling safety.”

“The partially finished, 70-foot concrete-and-steel superstructure ‘cannot be largely left alone at this point’ without tremendous setbacks that will fundamentally compromise the integrity of everything currently built there,’ not to mention the ‘major safety risk’ from leaving it with inadequate’ stability or strength to handle wind and heavy loads on [its] own,” Sauer said.

‘Magnificent Corinthian columns’ and gold seals

New renderings of the ballroom provided to the Supreme Court include new details, including the addition of at least two large presidential seals in gold.

A source familiar with the approval process of historical buildings in DC says that this should necessitate the project going before and getting approval from the Commission of Fine Arts and the National Capital Planning Commissions, the federal agencies that oversee the planning of federal spaces in DC.

“The White House’s exterior has long embodied a restrained aesthetic of republican simplicity, not opulent display,” the source said, “The addition of the large, gaudy gold seals clashes with that tradition.”

Friday’s filing also said the ballroom’s design had been inspired by the Supreme Court “and, in particular, its magnificent Corinthian columns — considered the highest column order in architecture.”

The columns, made of the “highest-grade Indiana limestone” that had been shipped to Italy, “are being being carved by some of the greatest artists anywhere in the world,” Sauer said.

“Delivery and installation will begin shortly,” he said.

Vance warns of ‘rising interest in socialism’ in US

Republicans risk losing younger voters unless living standards improve, the vice president has said

Published 14 Aug, 2026 22:08

The US Republican Party must address the economic pressures facing Americans or risk driving more young people toward socialism, Vice President J.D. Vance has said.

Vance made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Thursday, pointing to the cost of housing and education,access to well-paid jobs, and the ability to start a family as key concerns.

“Our response to that can’t just be to ignore the economic concerns that I think are feeding this rising interest in socialism,”Vance said.

He pointed to what he described as trillions of dollars in new investment flowing into the US, saying it would create middle-class jobs. He also cited stabilizing housing prices and the administration’s push for lower interest rates, while acknowledging that the effects of its policies could take time to be felt.

“My warning to my fellow Republicans would be if we don’t get this right, don’t blame young people for being sympathetic to socialism. We’ve got to blame ourselves,”Vance said.

He added that Republicans could not counter the trend simply by defending the free market, saying “You don’t stop socialism by throwing slogans at people about the free market. You stop socialism by making people’s lives better.”

Vance’s comments come ahead of November’s midterm elections, with the cost of living among the main issues worrying voters. A national poll conducted by Marquette University Law School in May showed inflation and living costs were the public’s top concern, cited by 37% of respondents.

Economic pressures have been compounded by higher energy costs fueled by the US-Israeli war on Iran and by Trump’s tariffs, while high home prices have made homeownership more difficult to attain. The median asking price for a US home stood at $430,000 in June, according to data cited by Forbes.

The economic strain has coincided with greater openness to socialism among younger Americans. A Gallup poll in 2025 showed that 39% of US adults viewed socialism positively, compared to 54% that held a high opinion of capitalism, and 81% that favored free enterprise, with socialism more popular among younger adults.

The divide has also become more visible in electoral politics, with progressive candidates making gains in Democratic primaries across the country. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, rose to prominence on an affordability-focused platform.

Vance has previously blamed decades of policy under both Republican and Democratic governments for the economic discontent, pointing to the loss of US manufacturing jobs, pressure on wages, and rising living costs.

Republicans have also faced weak ratings on the economy. The Marquette survey put Trump’s approval on the economy at 30% and on inflation and the cost of living at 22%, while respondents favored Democrats over Republicans on handling both issues.

2 American Airlines planes with the same flight number avoid disaster thanks to quick-thinking controller

(AP) - A potential disaster was averted Friday when a Phoenix air traffic controller recognized two American Airlines jets mistakenly were flying the same flight number and acted quickly to avoid confusion and keep them a safe distance apart.

Audio of the incident shortly after midnight Friday shows how he found a solution to ensure the planes that were both called American 2482 maintained proper separation as one plane arrived from Chicago shortly after the other had taken off in Phoenix.

“I’ve been working air traffic for 25 years. I’ve never seen two aircraft pretty much merge with the same call sign. That’s pretty incredible,” the controller said after the departing plane had safely cleared the area.

If both pilots thought the controller was telling them to fly at the same altitude as they headed toward each other, they might have collided, so it was crucial they knew which plane he was directing.

Quick thinking ensured the controller’s instructions were clear

The audio posted by ATC.com shows how the controller quickly started referring to “American 2482 on the arrival” and “American 2482 on the departure” to keep the two planes straight.

Woman [Melissa Farris/Melissa Lovewell] Arrested on Suspicion of Vandalizing World War II Memorial in Washington

The Kentucky woman faces up to 10 years in prison. The words ‘Clean hands Dirty $’ were spray-painted on a memorial surface.

Federal authorities arrested a woman suspected of vandalizing the World War II Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro announced Aug. 14.

Melissa Farris, 41, of Elizabethtown, Kentucky, was charged with two felony counts of depredation against property of the United States and destruction of a veterans memorial. If convicted, she faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

“Defacing the World War II Memorial is a disgusting act and an insult to the Americans who fought and died for our country,” Pirro said in a statement. “We will not tolerate this kind of criminal activism, and we will ensure that anyone who desecrates a veterans’ memorial is held fully accountable.”

The memorial was vandalized on Aug. 13 with the words “Clean hands Dirty $” painted on one of the surfaces, along with paint splatters on the ground. A painted sign was also found in a trash can near the north entrance of the balcony, authorities reported.

Soap was also poured into the fountain, causing suds to spill over the sides.

Farris, also known as Melissa Lovewell on Facebook, posted a video of herself at the memorial and appeared to take responsibility for the vandalism.

She posted several videos after her arrest, saying she was headed to federal court. She indicated she was turning herself in and said her actions were carried out to get help for personal problems. Farris also claimed she lived on the street in a camper.

U.S. Park Police responded to the memorial at about 2 p.m. Aug. 13 after receiving a report of a disorderly person at the site.

A witness told officers they saw a woman spray painting graffiti on parts of the Atlantic Theater Pavilion of the memorial at the eastern end of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

A park ranger arrived and found foam in the fountain area.

Several people gathered around the balcony and watched a woman taking videos of herself before fleeing after the park rangers arrived, according to prosecutors.

Park police recognized Farris as someone they had arrested on Aug. 10 for illegally camping on federal property a few blocks away, according to authorities. She identified herself during that arrest as “Melissa Lovewell.”

During a review of her social media, police found videos of the memorial vandalism, prosecutors said.

The World War II Memorial honors 16 million American service members who served during World War II, and millions more who supported the effort at home. More than 400,000 Americans died during the war.

Golden State Spurn: Trump DOT chief reroutes California rail money to train safety elsewhere

"Our infrastructure is rated at about a C-minus, and we should have A infrastructure in America," Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy tells Just the News.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Friday $5.3 billion in investments to improve national rail safety and upgrade Amtrak trains, diverting nearly half the money from California's disastrously overpriced and stalled high-speed rail project championed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

About $2 billion of the new Federal Railroad Administration investment will come from savings from Duffy's decision to end federal support for the California project, which exploded to becomes seven times over budget and years delayed.

"I would love to see America have high-speed rail. I'm an advocate of it and for it," Duffy told the Just the News, No Noise television show. "But when California has an initial cost estimate of $33 billio, but over the course of more than a decade, they don't lay one track. And by the way, the cost projection now for that rail is $231 billion.

"Listen, we're not going to invest in projects that don't deliver for the American people. We're going to invest in the projects that actually show that the hard work of an American taxpayer there's a deliverable for the money that they give us, and so that's one example," he said.

Duffy told Just the News that the new funding will:

Close over 30 train crossings and upgrade over a thousand with new infrastructure and technology

Purchase 43 Made-in-America trainsets to replace Amtrak’s aging fleet

Overhaul 41 locomotives currently serving Amtrak’s Midwest and Pacific routes.

"One of the most dangerous things that happen in rail is when vehicles cross the rail track," he said. "Eliminating many of those and deploying new technology improves safety. So some really cool things are happening," Duffy explained. "But here's a different philosophy as well. Our infrastructure is rated at about a C-minus, and we should have A infrastructure in America."

Ex-Cambridge professor facing plagiarism allegations found dead

Arday was the youngest black person to hold a full professorship and the university and resigned earlier this month.

Jason Arday, a former University of Cambridge professor accused of plagiarism, was found Friday at the age of 41.

"At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious," UK Police said, according to the BBC.

Arday was the youngest black person to hold a full professorship and the university and resigned earlier this month. He faced considerable allegations of plagiarism and the university ultimately announced an investigation into his work, which prompted his resignation.

Even his resignation letter faced allegations of being AI generated and earlier reporting suggested that he borrowed material for his upcoming autobiography from the TV series "Spartacus."

Three people were executed in the U.S. in a single day for the first time since 2010. Tennessee and Oklahoma carried out an execution within 30 minutes of each other, and Alabama executed an inmate six hours later.

Anthony Darrell Hines was executed in Tennessee. He was convicted in the 1985 stabbing death of Catherine Jean Jenkins, 54, as she worked as a motel maid in Kingston Springs, NBC News reported. Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez, 70, was executed by lethal injection at the state penitentiary in McAlester, Oklahoma. He was the state's third execution this year. He was convicted of murdering his girlfriend at their Oklahoma City home in 2003.

Alabama executed Jeremy Williams, who pleaded guilty in the 2021 rape and murder of the young Georgia girl. Prosecutors say the 42-year-old raped and strangled Karamarie Holland after paying the child's mother $2,500 to perform a sex act. Prosecutors also say he filmed the attack.

The mother is serving a 20-year sentence after pleading guilty to sex trafficking.

Embattled and Disgraced DEI Cambridge Professor Found Dead in London – Suicide Suspected

August 14, 2026 | sundance |

The story of Jason Arday is one of the strangest and yet embarrassingly sad representations of political correctness, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion running amok. [Recap of Absurd Stories Here]

After one of the most ridiculous and absurd life stories was seemingly accepted by the Cambridge University academic community, they raised Jason Arday to a professorship of sociology and education in 2023. Then slowly it surfaced that the guy was a professional plagiarist and was passing off the academic work of others as his own.

Everything unraveled as those outside the university system started looking at Arday’s scholarship and life claims. The absurdity of it all ended up with massive embarrassment for the university and those within it.

Arday resigned in disgrace; but prior to the discovery of his fictitious life story being sold as real, he signed a book deal which was scheduled to launch this week. I suspect the publisher did some serious hindsight research and discovered the material in the book was entirely made up. Something happened, and today Mr Arday was found dead.

Daily Mail – […] Professor Jason Arday was found unresponsive at a London address shortly after 3pm on Friday.

It comes after a tumultuous few weeks in which fellow dons had questioned if the 41-year-old academic’s work was original.

[…] The Metropolitan Police said in a statement: ‘Police were called by the London Ambulance Service at 3.12pm on Friday, August 14, following a report that a man had been found unresponsive inside a property.

‘Sadly, a 41-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene. His next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by officers.

‘At this time his death is being treated as unexpected, but is not believed to be suspicious.’

The statement added: ‘The case is being investigated by officers from the Met’s Central South Command Unit. A file will be prepared for the coroner.’ (read more)

…”When Arday resigned from his professorship and his fellowship, he said that this should not be ‘mistaken for an acceptance of the narratives that have surrounded me’. He cited the ‘personal cost’ of the furore which he said had been ‘too great’. He also cancelled a series of events to promote his new memoir, Great And Unfortunate Things, which was released in the US this week.”…

Arday claimed that he once ran 600 miles between Edinburgh and London in six days for charity, an accomplishment which would put him in the upper tier of world ultra marathon runners. He also claimed that he ran run 30 marathons in 35 days. On the 21st marathon he suffered from an epileptic fit and fractured his leg after falling down. This did not deter him and he went on to finish the remaining nine marathons.” “To this day, I don’t really know how I did it,” he recalled.

Pass the pâté

Arday claimed in a 2024 speaking engagement that he raised over £5 million for charity from his marathons and that he had raised over £5.5 million in his life. This is an extraordinary sum – Arday has said elsewhere that the money went “most notably” to Shooting Star Children’s Hospices and Shelter. One JustGiving page shows Arday raising only £380 for one of his 300 miles in three days challenges.

Full to the brim

Arday claimed that he went to both South America and West Africa to install water points. WaterAid said that they never send their volunteers abroad, “out of respect for the people we work with, we don’t encourage or facilitate self-funded visits either.”

First they came for the professors of sociology

Arday has made several claims about physical threats. He claimed that masked men threatened him twice if he failed to resign, the second time at knifepoint. The CCTV in his building did not catch these intruders. He told the Guardian that a severed pig’s head was sent to his family home, and that the police had chased this up, finding that a butchers in South Londonhad sold a whole pig the morning that the incident occurred. The police told the Guardian “categorically” that no such investigation had taken place, and the butcher which Arday said the pig had come from also said that they had no recollection of selling the pig.

Back of the net

Arday claimed in an interview at the University of Bath that he played academy-level football, and that he went on to play semi professionally. This claim has not been repeated in his to-be-published autobiography. He has not explained which club he was attached to.

That’s a bad miss

Arday was apparently something of a snooker shark. While at secondary school, he says that he would play in a local snooker hall, then afterwards came to win substantial sums in local competitions. He says in his memoir that he was making so much cash from his triumphs that his mother thought he could be a drug dealer. CueTracker, a comprehensive online database of professional snooker, shows him having participated in one amateur competition, winning no prize money.

A star is born

Arday claimed that he was in the BBC documentary Seven Up. Seven Up was a television series that followed the lives of ten boys and four girls in England. It began in 1964, more than 20 years before Arday was born in 1985. The BBC said that Arday had “nothing to do with our films.”

Baptism of fire

Arday claims that when he went to secondary school his teachers would strike his knuckles with a pen if he failed to complete his tasks. Corporal punishment was banned in England in 1987, around two years after Arday was born. Perhaps he skipped a few years due to his talent?

Act like you belong

Arday has claimed that he was a visiting professor for Nelson Mandela University in South Africa, the University of Glasgow and Ohio State University, all of which have denied that he held such a position. According to the Daily Mail, Arday has also wrongly claimed to have a position as honorary professor at Durham University.

Oxfordian theory

He claimed that he had published a book called “Being Young, Black and Male: Challenging the Dominant Discourse” with Palgrave Macmillan. This claim can be seen in his speaker biography for a Queen’s University Belfast live speaking event. Palgrave Macmillan say that they took a proposal from Arday from this book but did not publish it. Arday did not give the Telegraph a comment on this story.

Cambridge University has said that Arday has been the victim of a “vile campaign to undermine his credibility.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio: “In my work with heads of state and foreign ministers, I am frequently hosted in reception facilities that are visually impressive and reflective of the wealth and beauty of the nations I am visiting. In the United States, by contrast, we currently lack the ability to hold large events of a similar magnitude on White House grounds for those same heads of state and foreign dignitaries. Instead, we must currently host such visits in plastic or canvas tents on the South Lawn with unsafe and unsanitary portable bathrooms and accommodations unbecoming of our national stature…Our foreign counterparts offer premier security arrangements for United States officials. It is imperative that we not only offer the same level of elite security services, but offer the world’s leading capabilities in an efficient manner on grounds over which we exert permanent control…We must obviously seek every reasonable means to mitigate both the more predictable risks, including weather and physical incursions, but also emerging threats…The East Wing Project is essential to that defensive security posture. The Project is absolutely critical not only for the physical safety of guests, but also for advancing our diplomatic relations and the interests and standing of the United States in the world.”

Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: “I declare there is a valid military requirement for a secure, state-of-the-art facility that provides for the physical protection of the President and the command, control, and communication capabilities necessary for the President to carry out his Commander-in-Chief responsibilities over the United States Armed Forces anywhere across the globe at any time.”

Jay Clayton, Director of National Intelligence: “The Project is critical for ensuring the White House can serve as a secure location for the gathering of the President, gathering of senior government officials, and gatherings that further the interests of the United States. The Project on the Complex also will improve the level of protection and ability to manage and mitigate threats to the President and senior government officials and will enhance the handling, management, and utilization of IC information, including the conduct of IC-directed support to the Complex.”
