Pope Francis has at this point spent over a week in the hospital in Rome, battling pneumonia in both lungs, and in the last 24-hours there have been reports that his condition is stable and has seen slight improvement.

The 88-year old Pontiff entered the hospital on Feb. 14 with worsening bronchitis, leading doctors to eventually diagnose pneumonia, and reports in the initial days were dire.

Russia is reportedly preparing to declare victory in its war with Ukraine within days amid a public falling out between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

According to Kyiv's military intelligence agency, the GUR, Vladimir Putin is expected to frame the announcement as not only a triumph over Ukraine but also over NATO, portraying the conflict as a broader defeat for the West.

'Russia is preparing to declare an alleged 'victory' in the war against Ukraine by the 'round date' - 24 February 2025, the third anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale war,' said the GUR agency today.

'Moreover, these plans may also include a 'Russian victory over NATO', as Muscovite propaganda has long described the war against Ukraine as a war with the Alliance.'

Moscow Demanded US-NATO Withdraw Forces From Eastern Europe In Riyadh Talks

A fresh report in Financial Times has revealed that during US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, Moscow demanded that NATO and American forces are withdrawn from eastern Europe as a condition for "normalizing relations."

Sources in Romania's government revealed the request, which was rejected by the team led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. But NATO countries along the alliance's so-called Eastern flank are still worried: "Cristian Diaconescu, the Romanian president’s chief of staff and adviser for defense and national security, said on Wednesday that the US delegation had rejected Moscow’s demand, but that therewere no guarantees that Washington would not eventually make this concession to Vladimir Putin," FT reports.

Of course, NATO militarization right to up Russia's doorstep, a historic trend which reaches back to 1990s, when Moscow demanded not one more inch east, remains a key Kremlin justification for the Ukraine war.

Given this week's anti-Zelensky rhetoric coming out of the US administration, the European allies are worried Trump will give away more (after already declaring that Ukraine won't become a NATO member). This concern was expressed to FT as follows:

"As far as I understand, the situation can change from hour to hour or from day to day," Diaconescu told Antena3 television, in a reference to US President Donald Trump’s scathing criticism of the Ukrainian leader and his concessions made to Russia even before talks began.

Diaconescu stressed that the Russian delegation to the talks in Riyadh earlier this week "failed to convince the Americans" on a Nato withdrawaland that further visits by the leaders of the UK and France to Washington next week would seek to persuade Trump not to give in to this demand.

No real details on specifically what the Russians requested as a condition for fully restoring and improving US relations has been revealed by the US side. However, staff at each of their respective embassies are being restored.

The New York Times has written of Rubio based on a phone call with European diplomats after the Riyadh meeting, "The Secretary of State sought to reassure nervous European allies that the talks [in Riyadh]did not represent an abrupt departure from American policies, as many feared."

In December 2022, just before Russian forces poured across the Ukraine border later in February, President Putin told a news conference, "You promised us in the 1990s that [NATO] would not move an inch to the East. You cheated us shamelessly."

But the Kremlin is signaling it believes the Trump White House understands its positions well. FM Sergey Lavrov had also hailed the Riyadh meeting as "very useful" and that talks will continue."I have every reason to believe that the American side understands our position,"Lavrov had said.

Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability makes tremendous progress in first year

Feb. 20, 2025

Just one year after signing a ground-breaking trilateral agreement, the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability partnership is completing facilities construction at the first of three sites that will host a global network of advanced ground-based sensors.

DARC is a partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, designed to create an all-weather, global system to track very small objects in geosynchronous orbit to protect critical U.S. and allied satellite services.

The trilateral Memorandum of Understanding was signed Sept. 27, 2023, will last 22 years, and is a practical example of what the partners can achieve when working together to enhance mutual defense capabilities in the Indo-Pacific region.

Construction of the first site, in Western Australia, was completed in December 2024, three months ahead of schedule, with mission system integration and test activities now underway.

“The collaboration between all parties for the DARC project has been outstanding and is an example of what can be done when we work with our partners on a common goal for the advancement of Space Domain Awareness across our three nations,” said Michael Hunt, assistant secretary Space Systems Branch for the Australian Department of Defence, who also serves as the Australian representative on the DARC steering committee.

Allied partnerships in space are increasingly critical given emerging threats from adversaries and pacing challengers, noted Lt. Col. Nicholas Yeung, chief of Capabilities Development for Space Systems Command’s International Affairs office.

DARC is just one of several key partnership efforts facilitated by SSC’s IA office, and it’s particularly critical as it addresses innate challenges in GEO coverage.

At 22,236 miles above the Earth, an object in geosynchronous orbit takes 24 hours to orbit the planet. This keeps the satellite “parked” in the same spot, appearing stationary to ground sensors.

This makes GEO important “real estate” for several satellites, but because GEO is so far above the Earth, it’s more difficult to monitor space debris and/or adversarial actions that could potentially disrupt or deny space-based capabilities in that orbit.

Yet another challenge is that the U.S. can only cover a limited portion of the sky based on its geography, which is one of the reasons international partnerships are so important.

The DARC program demonstrates how allied partnerships can overcome both technical and geographic challenges while accelerating the delivery of advanced space technology in support of combined operations.

Commodore Dave Moody, head of Space Capability for U.K. Space Command, said, “DARC leverages the geography and commitment of key partner nations to deliver persistent, comprehensive space domain awareness.”

“One year on, the talent harnessed between the nations has begun to field a more capable technology that will protect and defend the international ways of life,” Moody said.

“Alongside the United States and Australia, the United Kingdom will continue to take deliberate steps that ensure DARC enables a collective ability to operate decisively in space.”

DARC is a unique collaboration between the three countries to get after first-of-its-kind capability that can do something that not only is needed from an operational perspective but has never been done before.

One of the main benefits of radar is that it operates 24 hours a day, in all weather and can make observations through clouds and during the daytime – something optical telescopes cannot do.

An ongoing challenge of radar versus telescope, however, is that the further out your radar goes, the larger the power required to transmit and the bigger the receiver arrays must be.

Drones and AI take center stage in Navy-led Middle East exercise

February 21, 2025

MANAMA, Bahrain — A recent U.S.-led maritime exercise in the Middle East shifted its focus to building artificial intelligence and drone capabilities as the Navy and its partners work to address increasingly sophisticated threats in the region.

The emphasis represents a change at this year’s International Maritime Exercise, which normally focuses on mines and explosive ordnance disposal, among other training.

It also comes as the Navy and other nations in the region prioritize adaptation to technology used by Iran and its proxies in Lebanon, Yemen and other countries, service officials say.

For example, Iran-backed Houthi militants in Yemen have launched swarm drone attacks against ships in the Red Sea in the past year.

The U.S. and its partner navies in the region also are defending against cyberattacks on their systems, Vice Adm. George Wikoff, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Central Command/U.S. 5th Fleet, said Thursday.

“Cyberattacks are a great example of where AI can make a real impact,” Wikoff said, adding that it has “great promise” as a cyber protection tool. AI also is becoming a bigger factor in stopping adversaries, Wikoff said.

Information picked up by Navy sensors in the sea regarding such activity as drug or weapons smuggling can be evaluated more efficiently using AI, which allows a better understanding of what is happening in regional waterways, he said.

“Our ability to get through that data and find what’s really important is always a challenge, and AI is helping accelerate that,” Wikoff said.

He noted that Task Force 59, a Bahrain-based unit focused on testing and deploying drones and using AI, has played an important role in leading Navy security efforts at sea.

Wikoff made the comments as the 12-day IMX25 ended Thursday. The exercise also included noncombatant evacuation, search and seizure, vessel defense, search and rescue, and mass casualty response, the Navy said.

It was linked to Cutlass Express, an exercise in eastern and southern Africa led by U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa. Together, there were about 30 countries and 5,000 personnel participating in the exercises, the Navy said.

The maritime portions took place in the Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea and northern Indian Ocean.

“If you look around the room today, you’ll see naval personnel from every continent on the Earth with the exception of Antarctica,” Wikoff said during the exercise’s closing ceremony.

This year’s IMX took place during a period of relative calm in the region.

That is chiefly due to the Houthi militants’ stoppage of their attacks on ships in the Red Sea because of a ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas in Gaza last month.

Even so, there were about 50% fewer participants in the exercise than in previous years, Navy officials noted. In 2022, about 60 nations participated, they said. Wikoff attributed the drop to the fact that navies are stretched by multiple global obligations, adding that participant numbers aren’t the sole factor determining success. “It’s about the quality of the training and (whether) those that participate … get what they want out of it,” Wikoff said.

Gee, that's too bad. Were they one of the ones claiming Trump's approval rating was plummeting?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/media/article-14421309/cbs-news-chaos-ratings-disaster-network.html

CBS News chaos worsens as new presenters trigger ratings 'disaster' at woke network

CBS News is in the midst of a ratings crisis brought on by its new 'Evening News' format, former executives and producers have said.

'It's a disaster,' a former CBS News exec told DailyMail.com of the new dual-anchor set-up they framed as 'going to two anchors.'

Maurice DuBois and John Dickerson have since replaced longtime host Norah O'Donnell, leading to a more magazine-style, less headline-driven format noticeably different from the days of Walter Cronkite.

'It's been critically panned, ratings down week by week and from this time last year,' the source added.

'[Executive Producer] Bill Owens is also overstretched and feeling the pressure with this lawsuit from Donald Trump,' the insider said, days after the abrupt exit of CBS News and Stations' President of Editorial and Newsgathering Adrienne Roark.

The longtime 60 Minutes boss was enlisted to help oversee Evening News last summer. He was brought on by Wendy McMahon, the CEO said to be next on the chopping block amid a parade of exits.

It has also spawned a ratings slump that has raised alarm bells across the industry.

'I would say it's a five-alarm fire,' a veteran television news exec told Status on Friday about ratings seen last week.

'It's mind boggling,' a veteran producer who spent a decade at the network further said of the strategy. 'They took the "news" out of the "Evening News!" It's not surprising the audience is leaving in droves.'

Sure enough, statistics released by Nielsen last week supported the seasoned staffers' theories - with the exec who spoke to DailyMial.com pointing out how the show's total viewership is down 14 percent year-over-year.

'We expected this,' a person close to leadership, however, argued to Status's Oliver Darcy Thursday night. 'We are in this for the long term and are confident in our long game.'

But ratings - and accounts from TV veterans - perhaps indicate a collapse that can be traced to the recent implementation of the new format, which is now structured more similarly to 60 Minutes and even shows like Access Hollywood.

For the week of February 10, Evening News saw a 24 percent drop in the 25-54 demographic when compared to the same period as last year, Nielsen statistics show.

'That demographic is very important to advertisers,' the former exec who spoke to the DailyMail.com explained. 'The experiment is failing.'

The 'veteran' television exec who spoke to Status said more of the same, as numbers for CBS's evening competitors ABC World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News both slightly up.

'It's almost impossible to build it once you've lost it. So to have a drop off like that suggest that this asset… is circling the drain,' they said of the viewership.

'Why did McMahon and Owens decide to try to reinvent the "Evening News" in this challenging moment?' the industry insider went on to ask. 'Any excuse you give the audience to change their habit is a massive risk.'

'The habits are so fragile in this new media landscape. So if you give them an excuse to stop watching, they will.'

The former CBS exec who spoke to the newsletter echoed that opinion, calling the past several months 'one of the most consequential periods for news in years.'

'And [yet] they are often minimizing the biggest story of the day to 20 seconds.'

Evening News staffers had a similar reaction after the iconic show devoted just 22 seconds to Elon Musk and Donald Trump's Oval Office appearance last week.

Employees at CBS Broadcast Center in Manhattan told Puck how they were left 'confused' - and in some cases, 'upset' - by the decision, at a time where hard-hitting news was coming out of Washington at a record rate.

All major news stations led with the story and offered extensive coverage - while O'Donnell's replacements Dickerson and DuBois instead focused on lengthy features about the US education system, the flu and discovery of a rarely seen fish.

The historical importance of the White House appearance made the still-young strategy stand out all the more, spawning an overall sense of confusion.

'You have to try really hard to ignore huge stories,' the former CBS producer told Status, after Evenings buried their coverage of the Musk appearance in a roundup of the day's events seven minutes in.

Was Zelensky blackmailing Joe Biden?

Trump wants to know why Biden was financially supporting Ukraine without the promise of getting taxpayer money back.

Why would he do this when Europe isn't?

Remember when Rudy Giuliani suggested it was because of blackmail?

Think about it: Joe was using Ukraine as his own personal money laundering operation.

Hunter Biden was the bag man for the "big guy," Joe Biden while meeting up with hookers, prostitutes, and smoking crack.

Imagine what kind of information they could have had on the finances and the decrepit activities of Hunter.

Remember:

The Biden family, the Pelosi family, and the Romney family all had children inexplicably connected to Ukraine.

When Donald Trump asked about the crimes being committed in Ukraine: Adam Schiff concocted a whistleblower out of thin air to get Trump impeached.

That's how much they don't want us asking about Ukraine.

Ukraine is an epicenter for corruption.

Imagine the kind of leverage Zelensky could have had over Biden knowing what he knew…

Hegseth addresses strengthening military by cutting excess, refocusing DOD budget

Feb. 21, 2025

During a recorded, on-camera address from the Pentagon today, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth discussed his priorities of strengthening the military by cutting fiscal fraud, waste and abuse at DOD while also finding ways to refocus the department's budget.

Hegseth began his remarks stating the Defense Department owes the American people transparency related to steps DOD is taking to accomplish its mission while being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.

"We shoot straight with you. We want you, the American people — the taxpayers — to understand why we're making the decisions that we're making here," Hegseth said, adding that DOD is working as quickly as possible to execute the priorities of achieving peace through strength by rebuilding the military, restoring the warrior ethos and reestablishing deterrence.

Prior to getting in-depth on issues related to the department's finances, Hegseth cautioned viewers to take anything they've heard and/or read on the topic with a "gigantic grain of salt."

"Ever since I've taken this position, the only thing I've cared about is doing right by our service members — Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen and Guardians," Hegseth said. "In short, we want the biggest, most badass military on the planet."

Hegseth then touched on three areas related to the Pentagon's finances.

First, Hegseth said to tackle excess spending and address the issue of fraud, waste and abuse within DOD, the department would be relying on the recently established Department of Government Efficiency.

"[DOGE is] here, and they're going to be incorporated into what we're doing at DOD to find fraud, waste and abuse in the largest discretionary budget in the federal government," Hegseth said.

He added that DOGE would be given access to systems — with proper safeguards and classifications — to first find redundancies and identify previous priorities not core to the department's current mission and then get rid of them.

"With DOGE, we are focusing as much as we can on headquarters and fat and top-line stuff that allows us to reinvest elsewhere," Hegseth said.

He then pivoted to the topic of reorienting the defense budget inherited from the previous administration.

Hegseth said beginning immediately, the Pentagon will pull 8% — or roughly $50 billion — from nonlethal programs in the current budget and refocus that money on President Donald J. Trump's "America First" priorities for national defense.

"That's not a cut; it's refocusing and reinvesting existing funds into building the force that protects you, the American people," Hegseth said.

He also said there are certain areas where funds will not be refocused — border protection, fighting transnational criminal organizations, nuclear modernization, submarine programs, missile defense, drone technology, cybersecurity, core readiness and training and the defense industrial base among them.

The secretary then turned to his third topic: the reevaluation of the Defense Department's probationary workforce.

Hegseth pushed back on recent reports that DOD would do across-the-board cuts of all probationary employees.

He said leaders are reevaluating probationary employees "carefully and smartly," and future manning decisions would be based, in part, on quality of performance.

"We're starting [cuts] with the poor performers among our probationary employees because it's common sense that you want the best and brightest," Hegseth said.

"So, when you look at headcount, we're going to be thoughtful; but we're also going to be aggressive up and down the chain to find the places where we can ensure the best and brightest are promoted based on merit," he continued.

Hegseth added DOD will implement a hiring freeze to take time to identify better hiring practices as they relate to finding the most "hard charging" employees that are central to the department's core warfighting mission.

The secretary finished his remarks by returning to the topic of transparency and the value he sees in communicating directly to the people.

"Our warfighters and taxpayers deserve no less, and we'll keep reporting back to you from time to time on what we're seeing," Hegseth said.

"We appreciate your support as we move out … on making our military once again into the most lethal, badass force on the planet to keep our country safe."

Yale’s Shocking Find: Post-Vaccination Syndrome Mimics Long COVID—and Tamara Ugolini’s Calling It Out!

A Yale preprint from February 18, 2025, reveals 'post-vaccination syndrome' (PVS) is real and messy. In a study of 42 PVS patients versus 22 controls, researchers found crippled immune systems: fewer CD4 T cells to fight infections, and overactive CD8 T cells pumping out inflammation-causing TNF-alpha. Worse?

The vaccine’s spike protein lingered in blood over 700 days post-jab—echoing long COVID. Rebel News’ Tamara Ugolini, a fierce advocate for the vaccine-injured, says it’s proof the ‘conspiracy’ crowd was onto something.

Authors admit more research is needed, but conflicts of interest with Pfizer and the FDA muddy the waters. They claim vaccines saved millions—based on simulations, not facts. Ugolini’s verdict? Big Pharma ties can’t hide the truth: immune chaos and lingering spike protein demand answers. This isn’t denial—it’s a wake-up call. Buckle up—the reckoning’s just begun!

What a Dick!

Dear __:

Thank you for contacting me about President Trump’s nomination of Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI). I appreciate hearing from you.

Tulsi Gabbard previously served in the House of Representatives, representing Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. A noted conspiracy theorist, Ms. Gabbard has regularly praised adversaries of the United States, war criminals, and despots. In 2017, she traveled to Syria shortly after then-Syrian President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against civilian populations, after which she troublingly supported Syrian denials of such atrocities despite multiple independent reports, including by agencies she would oversee as DNI. Ultimately, the Assad regime killed hundreds of thousands of Syrians and displaced millions more. She has also praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and the illegitimate government of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.

While President Trump has the authority to nominate cabinet officials, the United States Constitution provides the Senate with the power of advice and consent. This means the Senate is responsible for determining whether a nominee is qualified or capable of fulfilling the duties of that role. Ms. Gabbard has regularly created national security concerns with her actions and statements, that I believe are disqualifying for someone wishing to serve as Director of National Intelligence.

On January 30, 2025, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence held a hearing on Ms. Gabbard's nomination. On February 4, 2025, the committee advanced her nomination by by a vote of 9-8. No Democratic members of the committee voted for Ms. Gabbard. Her nomination now goes to the full Senate for consideration. I will be sure to keep your views in mind.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please feel free to keep in touch.

Sincerely,

Richard J. Durbin

United States Senator
