Pam Bondi’s betrayal comes one week after Merrick Garland’s key witness in the Proud Boy trial recanted his entire testimony.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed paperwork to dismiss a $100 million lawsuit filed by the Proud Boys over the political persecution they suffered in the wake of the January 6th protests.

The move signifies a stark policy shift for Trump, who earlier this year pardoned or commuted the sentences of virtually all of those defendants who targeted by the Biden administration in the years since January 6th.

Eight months into Trump’s second term, several of the political prisoners targeted by Biden still have not been pardoned or had sentences commuted, and a handful are still in prison.

Bondi’s move to dismiss the Proud Boys’ suit is seen as outright betrayal by patriots and supporters of President Trump.

Bondi’s decision to pursue the Biden administration’s posture toward the Proud Boys with regard to the alleged involvement in a fabricated insurrection comes just days after the Biden Department of Justice’s key witness against the Proud Boys recanted his testimony that resulted in convictions and decades of jail time.

Top Proud Boy Enrique Tarrio (@NobleOne on X) and the so-called “Seditious Five” in June filed a federal lawsuit against the federal government for the Biden administration’s political persecution against them in the wake of the FedSurrection on January 6th, 2021.

They say the federal government should pay $100 million in restitution for the criminal prosecutions, and are asking for a jury trial to settle the matter.

When i was a very little kid, i unfortunately developed a rather dangerous bad habit of telling the playground bullies exactly what i thought. Most of the time i escaped without getting beat up too bad. Several time, i got flattened by mooks twice my size.

I don't regret that one little bit.

The unfortunate part, is that i continued that habit of calling out the shitbags in the moment… even especially those who were abusing their Costumed Authority. I may be very lucky at this time to still be alive.

I do NOT regret those dangerous chances that i took confronting Bad Cops.

Occasionally, i actually flushed out a few "Good Cops" (or at least good guys, who had the seemingly rare characteristic of acknowledging honest right from wrong, but that they had themselves picked up some 'bad habits' in The Job. I really give those few guys serious credit for being man enough to do that.)

However…. at THIS moment in time, EVEN with cameras fucking everywhere, Bad Cops are uniquely emboldened. Qualified Immunity, pats on the back as-if First Responder Heroes, Trump stating he wants to give them even MORE Indemnity, Departments overflowing with rotten Top Brass and filthy corrupt slime in their Bureaucracy, backdoor and side-hustles in every direction in Their Club… Courts and Judges ruling AGAINST the Constitution and BoRs, in favor of their Co-Protectors In Blue….

Im looking for the patterns, anon.

Whatever that "Q" thing about 4-6% lost? I think there could be many more Lost than that when this is all over. Im looking for the patterns needed to keep me and mine alive, if/when the restraints are dropped and Tyranny tries to go all out. THAT is what i think will be the "Precipice".

Ukraine strikes 2 Russian refineries, other targets in overnight attack, military says

(Updated: August 28, 2025 11:20 am)

Ukrainian forces hit the Kuibyshev refinery in Russia's Samara Oblast and the Afipsky refinery in Krasnodar Krai overnight on Aug. 28, the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces reported.

The statement comes as confirmation of a mass drone attack that struck the two oil refineries and other facilities across Russia, as previously reported by local media.

The Kuibyshev facility, lying some 800 kilometers (500 miles) from the Ukraine-Russia border, has a production capacity of 7 million metric tons of oil per year, producing gasoline, diesel fuel, and other products, the General Staff said.

The Russian Telegram news channel Astra posted photos and video footage of a large-scale fire at the Kuibyshev refinery.

Samara Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev confirmed an attack against the region's infrastructure, saying that the strike was repelled and the subsequent fire was promptly extinguished.

Russia's Defense Ministry claimed its forces downed 102 Ukrainian drones across different regions overnight on Aug. 28, including 21 over Samara Oblast and 18 over Krasnodar Krai.

In Krasnodar Krai, residents reported six to eight powerful explosions, the Shot Telegram news channel wrote, reporting a fire at the Afipsky oil refinery. Krasnodar Krai authorities later confirmed the attack.

The facility lies in southwestern Russia in a region bordering Russian-occupied Crimea, and is located some 370 kilometers (230 miles) from the front line in Ukraine.

"This refinery, which mainly produces gasoline and diesel fuel, is used to supply the Russian army," Ukraine's General Staff said. "Its annual processing capacity is 6.25 million tons of oil. A large-scale fire was reported at the facility."

Further attacks targeted ammunition depots and several logistical facilities in Russia and Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian military.

A "massive drone attack" hit transport and logistical facilities in Volgograd Oblast, Governor Andrey Bocharov said. Fallen drone debris started a fire at a locomotive depot in the city of Petrov Val, he claimed.

The attacks were carried out jointly by the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), military intelligence (HUR), and other branches.

"Detailed information about the consequences of the strikes is being clarified," the General Staff said in a statement. The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims.

Ukraine regularly targets Russian oil infrastructure in long-range strikes.

Reuters reported that Ukraine struck 10 refineries throughout August, shutting down facilities representing 17% of national processing capacity, or 1.1 million barrels per day.

Trump's idea to accept more Chinese students appears to contradict earlier admin policy

Earlier, administration officials had planned to revoke Chinese student visas over security concerns following repeated warnings from lawmakers, intelligence agencies about how China exploits the university programs.

In an apparent departure from early administration policy goals, President Donald Trump floated the idea of significantly expanding the number of Chinese students permitted to study in the United States, raising confusion from within his own party.

Just months ago, administration officials planned to revoke Chinese student visas over security concerns following repeated warnings from intelligence agencies about how China exploits its citizens in the U.S. to steal valuable trade secrets and research.

Years of scientific, industrial espionage

In recent years, policymakers have also raised concerns about Chinese nationals studying or working in the United States over the national security risks—including the economic espionage or intellectual property theft that have become hallmarks of Chinese national strategy.

Since President Trump’s first term, Chinese students have been accused of or charged with spying on sensitive U.S. military installations, illegally registering to vote in a U.S. election, and reporting back to the Chinese Communist Party about U.S. technological research.

One Chinese national, who came to the San Francisco area on a student visa in 2011, conducted a multi-year campaign to develop ties with local and federal government officials, including Rep. Eric Swalwell, D., Calif., on behalf of the Chinese Communist Party.

Lawmakers and intelligence officials in recent years have identified the Chinese Communist Party as the primary threat to America, warning of growing economic espionage, trade secret theft, research appropriation, and transnational repression.

In a report released earlier this year, the House Committee on Homeland Security cataloged more than 60 cases of espionage and acts of transnational repression connected to the Chinese Communist Party across 20 states under the Biden administration alone. These examples were only part of the 224 cases between 2000 and 2023, according to the committee.

Many of the examples cited by the committee include the transfer of sensitive military information and the stealing of U.S. trade secrets that could benefit the Chinese government or companies. However, Chinese students have also been implicated in the Chinese efforts, Just the News has previously reported.

“China continues to utilize ‘non-traditional’ collectors to conduct a plurality of their nefarious efforts here in the U.S. due to their successful ability to hide in plain sight,” former Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center Bill Evanina warned Congress in his 2023 testimony.

“The non-traditional collectors, serving as engineers, businesspersons, academics, and students are shrouded in legitimate work and research, and oftentimes become unwitting tools for the CCP and its intelligence apparatus,” he testified.

Explosions heard as Ukrainian drones target occupied Crimea, media report

August 27, 2025 11:44 pm

Ukraine launched a swarm of drone attacks on occupied Crimean late on Aug. 27, targeting various regions on the peninsula, the pro-Ukrainian Telegram channel Crimean Wind reported.

Several explosions were heard in the cities of Sevastopol and Yevpatoria beginning around 11 p.m. local time, the media channel reported, citing resident accounts. Dozens of Ukrainian drones were reportedly en route towards the peninsula.

Explosions continued in the region throughout the night with powerful explosions being reported near Cape Lukull, located north of Sevastopol, around 11:35 p.m.

No information was immediately available as to any casualties or damaged caused.

Russian air defense missiles were reportedly deployed in several regions amid the attack. Drone search lights were also reportedly actively seeking targets .

Earlier in the evening, Russia's Defense Ministry claimed that two drones were shot down over the Black Sea region approaching Crimea, while one was shot down over the peninsula.

The Kyiv Independent cannot immediately verify the reports or claims made by Russian officials.

Crimea has been under Russian occupation since its illegal annexation in 2014. Ukraine has stepped up strikes on military infrastructure on the peninsula since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.

The peninsula houses various military bases and weapons used against Ukrainian regions in Moscow's full-scale war. Most recently, Ukraine's navy reported that it had struck a Russian drone base in occupied Sevastopol on Aug. 22.

Graham warns: Defeating Hamas is non-negotiable, but must be done as soon as possible - interview

Graham described Lebanon’s announcement that disarming Hezbollah is a “national goal” as an important first step – but warned that words must be followed by action.

US Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a senior Republican voice on foreign affairs, visited Lebanon and Israel this week, pressing a hard line on Hezbollah and voicing strong support for Israel’s war against Hamas.

Graham described Lebanon’s announcement that disarming Hezbollah is a “national goal” as an important first step – but warned that words must be followed by action in a Thursday interview with The Jerusalem Post.

"Hezbollah is not just a Lebanese problem. It’s a world problem. Hezbollah has American blood on its hands, and they need to go," he says, referring to the plan to dismantle Hezbollah that the Lebanese government will present next.

“The Lebanese military is going to present a plan for disarmament. Time will tell if it can be accomplished politically,” Graham said, noting that without such a step, “the country is frozen in time. It can never go forward.”

While expressing hope for a peaceful solution, the senator stressed that the US and Israel must ensure there is “a credible threat” of force. “If the day comes that you have to do it by force, the Lebanese Armed Forces will need partners – and I think it’s in America’s interest to make sure Hezbollah is disarmed,” he stated.

The senator, who met this week with senior Lebanese officials including the prime minister and president, said there was there's no hope of attracting American business investment or having any major support for the country economically or militarily until there's a real plan to disarm Hezbollah that's being implemented.

Graham expresses strong defense of Israel’s campaign - with a caveat

Turning to Israel’s war in Gaza, Graham compared it to America’s fight in World War II. “Nobody suggested to the United States that we went too far in trying to defeat the Japanese and the Germans. Israel is surrounded by terrorist groups that wish to kill all the Jews. The idea that Israel is somehow inappropriately responding tells me that the world doesn’t see this as an existential threat to the Jewish state.”

He condemned European countries that are pushing for recognition of a Palestinian state. “What are the borders? Who’s in charge? Will they have a military? None of those questions are being asked. It’s just political posturing that emboldens Hamas and makes the war go on longer,” he warned.

However, Graham also cautioned Israel to pay attention to shifts in American politics. “Democrats voted overwhelmingly to stop arms transfers to Israel. Even some Republicans are now accusing Israel of genocide. That should be taken seriously into account", he said, adding that defeating Hamas is “non-negotiable” but must be done as soon as possible to allow discussions about the post-war regional order.

“My hope is that by the end of this year, Hamas and Hezbollah will both have been neutered as effective proxies of Iran. Then in 2026, we can start a serious conversation about integrating Israel into the region and providing Palestinians with a better future – but without Hamas,” he said.

"Hopefully, we can pick up normalization with Saudi Arabia. But that can't happen as long as there's major military operations going on", the senator empathized.

Trump Envoy Warns Deadly Russian Attack on Kyiv Threatens U.S. Peace Initiative

August 28, 2025

Russian missiles and drones struck residential areas in Kyiv early Thursday, killing at least 18 people in what both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy said showed Moscow’s disregard for ongoing peace negotiations.

Emergency workers and residents cleared shattered glass and debris from streets in central Kyiv, where one strike blasted a large gaping hole in an apartment building, images posted by Zelensky showed.

Mattresses dangled from destroyed balconies, while windows of nearby homes and businesses were blown out. Among the dead were three children, with the youngest being two years old, city officials said.

“Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war,” Zelensky said on social media, calling for tougher sanctions and a stronger response from allies.

Kyiv, once relatively shielded from Russian aerial assaults, has suffered repeated deadly strikes in recent months. In July, one of the worst barrages killed more than 30 people, including five children.

On Thursday, Kyiv military chief Tymur Tkachenko said Russia launched ballistic and cruise missiles, along with Iranian-designed Shahed drones from multiple directions to “systematically” target residential neighborhoods.

A five-story building in the Darnytsky district collapsed, while a shopping mall was also hit, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said. During the bombardment, residents sheltered in subway stations, some with sleeping bags and pets.

European Council President Antonio Costa said the attacks damaged the EU’s diplomatic mission in the city. He posted a picture on X from the inside of an office with the windows blown out and debris scattered across the room.

“My thoughts are with the Ukrainian victims and also with the staff of the EU delegation, whose building was damaged in this deliberate Russian strike,” Costa wrote in the post.

A British government cultural building was also damaged. Both Brussels and London summoned Russia’s ambassadors after the barrage in Kyiv.

Trump envoy Keith Kellogg called the strikes “egregious” and said they “threaten the peace” that the American president is pursuing.

“The targets? Not soldiers and weapons but residential areas in Kyiv — blasting civilian trains, the EU & British mission council offices, and innocent civilians,” Kellogg wrote in a post on X.

In a daily briefing, Russia’s military did not provide any information about its air assault against Kyiv, stating only that it carried out “precision” strikes on military sites across Ukraine. It claimed that all targets were “destroyed.”

The Kremlin later on Thursday accused Ukraine of “continuing to strike… Russian civilian infrastructure.”

Meanwhile, in Russia, the Defense Ministry reported downing more than 100 Ukrainian drones across the country overnight, leading to flight and train disruptions in several regions.

In the southern Rostov region, 50 homes were evacuated after an explosives-laden drone crashed into the roof of a house in a residential area but failed to detonate.

In the neighboring Krasnodar region, Ukrainian drone attacks caused fires at an oil refinery and nearby forest.

No one was reported injured or killed in the overnight attacks on Russia.

AIPAC-Funded Republicans, On Behalf of ADL, Launch Investigation Into Wikipedia for 'Anti-Semitism'

A pair of AIPAC-funded Republicans, working on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League, sent an intimidating letter to the Wikimedia Foundation on Wednesday announcing they're under investigation in relation to "antisemitic and anti-Israel" content on Wikipedia.

From USA Today, "Republicans in Congress open probe into Wikipedia for alleged bias":

House Republicans announced on Wednesday, Aug. 27, that they have launched an investigation into Wikipedia, alleging that the internet encyclopedia has organized efforts to “inject bias” into its entries.

"In a letter obtained by USA TODAY, the Republican-led House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer of Kentucky and the head of the cybersecurity subcommittee, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina, sent a request for information to Wikipedia’s CEO Maryana Iskander.

Specifically, the request was made for an investigation into “foreign operations and individuals at academic institutions subsidized by U.S. taxpayer dollars to influence U.S. public opinion.”

In the letter, Comer and Mace referenced a report from the Anti-Defamation League, in which they allege that Wikipedia coordinated a campaign to manipulate entries related to the War in Gaza, which they allege advanced “antisemitic and anti-Israel information.”

"As our research showed earlier this year, antisemitism and anti-Israel bias on Wikipedia are a significant problem. We welcome the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform opening an investigation into this issue and thank Rep. James Comer for his leadership effort to address this hate," in a statement released by ADL on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

The ADL says jump and the GOP asks, "How high?"

The ADL has had Wikipedia in their crosshairs ever since their liberal editors approved a page for the Gaza Genocide and another for Jewish supremacy.

A Trump administration official, in a statement to Laura Loomer, admitted that Secretary of Education Linda McMahon held a meeting with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt but denied that the ADL has a working relationship with the administration.

The Trump administration never issued a formal, public denial that they were working with the ADL and instead only issued that indirect denial which was filled with obvious lies using Loomer as their conduit.

There is every reason to believe the ADL and the Trump administration, as well as the "liberal" American Jewish Committee, are working hand-in-glove with the administration to suppress criticism of Jews and Israel.

Hopefully, Wikipedia will not cave to the Israel Lobby's intimidation.

Exclusive: Electromagnetic weapon zaps drone swarm in seconds

August 28, 2025

Waves of drones tumbled out of the sky above Camp Atterbury, Indiana, on Tuesday, their mechanical death throes punctuating what was otherwise a quiet morning.

Why it matters: Drone swarms are a nightmare for security officials all over the world, whether they're overwhelming a Russian air base or hovering near an American airport.

How it happened: Defense contractor Epirus this week demonstrated its drone-frying Leonidas to observers from various U.S. military services and foreign countries, including some in the Indo-Pacific.

Axios was the only media on hand for the Atterbury tests, about 45 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis. In the climax of the two-hour show, Leonidas went up against 49 quadcopters, the largest grouping it's ever faced.

The "forcefield system," which weaponizes electromagnetic interference, crippled all of them at once. No pricey projectiles. No fireballs.

Epirus CEO Andy Lowery was understandably bullish, telling Axios: "I call this a singularity event."

The big picture: The drone-counter-drone game is upending military spending and power dynamics while, at the same time, forcing a rethink of stateside security (consider power plants or the upcoming World Cup).

The lines are blurring between missile and unmanned. Armored vehicles and deeply dug trenches are no refuge. Apex predators of the battlefield, like tanks, are having their claims contested.

Domestically, the Northeast's drone madness late last year underscores how ill-prepared the U.S. is for a real overhead incursion.

The intrigue: Lowery recently met with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "This platform is going to be needed at stadiums and at ports and at airports," he told Axios. "The list goes on and on."

Zoom in: Founded in 2018, Epirus has worked with the U.S. Army, Navy and Marine Corps and tested in multiple overseas theaters.

The company in March announced a $250 million raise led by 8VC and Washington Harbour Partners LP.

More recently, it rolled out its "sixth domain" doctrine, which argues that an overwhelming number of cheap, networked, dangerous machines challenges the traditional dividing lines of war.

The five existing domains — well known in the defense world — are air, land, sea, space and cyber.

What's next: Lowery told Axios that Epirus will "stay in the one-to-many fight," as demonstrated on Tuesday, but could explore sensing as well as electronic and cyber warfare.

US-Israeli scheme for Lebanon includes forced displacement, turning Beirut suburb into 'refugee camp’: Report

The plan falls in line with Washington’s broader goal of disarming the Lebanese resistance

There is a new US plan for a “clampdown” on Beirut’s southern suburb, which could potentially see the area come under the control of a foreign or Arab security force, according to a report released by Al-Akhbar newspaper on 27 August.

The southern suburb, a strong base of support for Hezbollah, was heavily bombarded by Israel during its brutal war on Lebanon last year. The suburb has been repeatedly hit by airstrikes since the ceasefire took effect.

According to Al-Akhbar, the plan aims to “treat the southern suburbs just like Palestinian refugee camps.”

The 1969 Cairo Agreement for years allowed Palestinian groups a degree of autonomy over refugee camps in Lebanon. Despite the agreement being declared null in the 1980s, the status of the camps has remained more or less the same.

However, Lebanese troops maintain checkpoints and a heavy presence around the camps. Palestinian camps in Lebanon have recently begun a symbolic disarmament process in line with the state’s efforts to monopolize control of weapons in the country.

The Al-Akhbar report frames the new US plan as part of Washington’s broader goal of disarming Hezbollah, which the Lebanese government vowed to achieve in a cabinet session in early August.

“The US proposal envisions checkpoints at all entrances [of the Beirut suburb], thorough searches of individuals and vehicles, and a tight control on goods, materials, and money flows. This mission would not be handed to the Lebanese army. Instead, the plan calls for a foreign security force, possibly an Arab one, to take on the task,” it said.

Al-Akhbar also said the plan falls in line with US efforts to “empty the southern border region.”

A recent report by Axios said there is a US plan for a “Trump economic zone” near the southern border, aimed at preventing Hezbollah from re-establishing its presence there. The report said this would happen with the help of Gulf financing.

During a press conference in Lebanon’s Presidential Palace on Tuesday, US envoy Tom Barrack confirmed plans for the economic zone.

Lisa Cook hints ‘clerical error’ to blame for any mortgage application discrepancy

Published Thu, Aug 28 20251:35 PM EDT (Governors on the Board of the Fed cannot make clerical errors)

Key Points

• Fed Governor Lisa Cook’s lawsuit against Donald Trump challenges his ability to remove her from office but only briefly addresses the central accusations that she committed mortgage fraud.

• Cook did call mortgage fraud accusations “unsubstantiated and unproven” without going into detail.

• In a statement to CNBC, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte noted that Cook did not attempt to refute the claims against her.

Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook’s lawsuit against Donald Trump challenges his ability to remove her from office, but only briefly addresses the central accusations that she committed mortgage fraud. One part of the documents filed in the suit suggests that the issue at hand regarding documents Cook submitted for home loansmay have been caused by a “clerical error” on her part and asserts that even if a mistake was made it does not rise to an offense that would justify removing her from office. (Bullshit, auditors for home loan, double the the forms before approving. ==What is doing and filed for 2 mortgages at the same time so it looked liked only one. She confused the two different loan companies)

The complaint mostly focuses on rules outlined in the Federal Reserve Act that state Fed officials can only be removed for “cause,” a legally nebulous condition that may have to be determined by the Supreme Court. Cook maintains that the fraud allegations do not meet the standard and instead are subterfuge for Trump’s efforts to stack the Fed Board of Governors in his favor so that he can get the interest rate cuts he has been demanding.

“It is clear from the circumstances surrounding Governor Cook’s purported removal from the Federal Reserve Board that the mortgage allegations against her are pretextual,” the suit states. “This allegation about conduct that predates Governor Cook’s Senate confirmation has never been investigated, much less proven. This allegation is not grounds for removal under the” act. The document calls the fraud allegation “unsubstantiated and unproven” but does not go into detail about why that is the case. Whether Cook did in fact lie on the applications will be the focus of establishing the legal standard for cause to remove her.

Trump and other officials, most notably Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, have alleged that Cook provided false information about her primary residence when obtaining federally backed mortgages. The complaint said that even if Cook did make a mistake on the applications, it still wouldn’t rise to cause.

“Even if the President had been more careful in obscuring his real justification for targeting Governor Cook, the President’s concocted basis for removal — the unsubstantiated and unproven allegation that Governor Cook ‘potentially’ erred in filling out a mortgage form prior to her Senate confirmation — does not amount to ‘cause’ within the meaning of the FRA and is unsupported by caselaw,” stated the complaint from Cook’s attorney, Abbe Lowell.

Moreover, the suit says that “the President and Director Pulte have not even alleged explicitly that Ms. Cook benefited from any clerical error, or that such an error was intentional. Even if Governor Cook had committed the infractions that the President alleges— which she did not—the President would lack ‘cause’ to remove her” under the law.

In a statement to CNBC, Pulte noted that Cook did not attempt to refute the claims against her.

“In her filing, Ms. Cook does not deny that these are her mortgage documents, so one has to wonder why she, or [Fed Chair] Jerome Powell, would want this to be a part of the Federal Reserve, which is supposed to have preeminent integrity and which is critical to the safety and soundness of the U.S. Mortgage Market,” Pulte said in a statement to CNBC’s Scott Wapner.

However, avoiding the specifics in this type of case is far from unusual as doing so would give credence to the allegation, said Robert Hockett, a professor of law and public finance at Cornell Law School. “You don’t want to play his game, or legitimize his game by playing it,” Hockett said. ”’I’m not surprised at all that the lawsuit wouldn’t include paragraph after paragraph providing the details of her mortgage applications. Because, that would, in effect, be conceding that there’s something legitimate about what Trump is doing.”

“We have no privileged knowledge of the legal facts, but believe if it were established Cook committed even accidental mortgage misrepresentation, she would have to go,”Guha said in a note earlier this week.

Israeli ground troops conducted a commando raid overnight Wednesday-Thursday on a Syrian site it had already bombed on the two previous days, Syrian state media reported, in a major operation said to have included helicopters and fighter jets as well as dozens of ground troops.

Israel first struck the site outside Damascus on Tuesday, killing several Syrian soldiers, according to Damascus’s foreign ministry, and bombed it again on Wednesday, according to state television.

A Syrian defense ministry official told AFP on condition of anonymity that the site was a former Syrian military base in Tal Maneh, near Kisweh.

Following the second attack on Wednesday, state media said that Israeli troops were flown into the area to carry out a raid, “the details of which are not yet known, amid continued intensive reconnaissance flights.”

According to two Syrian army sources, a unit of the Israeli army carried out an airborne landing on a strategic hilltop southwest of Damascus and conducted a two-hour operation before leaving the area.

They said the troops landed near Jabal Manea, which was once a major air defense base operated by Iran before being destroyed by Israel after the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

A number of troops from the new Syrian army are positioned at the base, the sources said.

According to a Syrian source who spoke to Al Jazeera, the raid involved four helicopters and two fighter jets, as well as dozens of soldiers.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on a network of sources on the ground, reported that the site had weapons used by the Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, a major ally of former Syrian ruler Assad.

The Observatory said the Israeli ground raid was the first of its kind since the fall of Assad in an Islamist-led rebel offensive in December.

The increased Israeli military activity in Syria comes as the two countries are engaged in “advanced” US-mediated talks on easing tensions in southern Syria, with Damascus seeking a security deal that could open the door to wider political negotiations.

According to Hebrew media reports earlier this week, Damascus and Jerusalem are closing in on understandings, and the deal in discussion would be based on the disengagement lines that the two sides agreed to in 1974 after the Yom Kippur War a year earlier.

After the reports of Wednesday night’s raid, Defense Minister Israel Katz declared Thursday morning on X that Israeli forces “are operating on all battle fronts day and night for the security of Israel.”

He did not indicate what he was referring to, though the post came minutes after Syrian media reported the commando raid.

Asked for comment, an Israeli military spokesperson said: “We do not comment on foreign reports.”

Israel’s strikes on Tuesday had reportedly targeted Syrian soldiers who, while on patrol, discovered “surveillance and eavesdropping devices” reportedly belonging to Israel.

Syrian state media said that additional Israeli strikes prevented other troops from reaching the area until Wednesday evening, when other soldiers were able to retrieve the bodies of the soldiers killed the day before, and “destroy some of the (surveillance) systems by targeting them with the appropriate weapons.”

Trump has fired a Democrat on a federal railroad board. He's the latest to refuse to leave his post.

By Pavan Acharya08/28/2025 02:12 PM EDT

The White House says it has fired Robert Primus, a Democratic appointee on a federal board that oversees freight railroad mergers, because he isn’t on board with President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda — but Primus is vowing not to leave.

White House spokesperson Kush Desai confirmed Primus’ ouster from the normally sleepy Surface Transportation Board and told POLITICO in a statement that Trump plans to “to nominate new, more qualified members to the Surface Transportation Board in short order.”

Primus did not respond to a request for comment. But in a LinkedIn post Wednesday evening,he called his firing “deeply troubling and legally invalid.”“I plan to continue to discharge my duties as a member of the Board and, if I’m prevented from doing so, I will explore my legal options,” Primus wrote. He also defended his record on the board, where he’s served since Trump appointed him in 2020.

It’s the latest example of personnel unrest and tension throughout the Trump administration, which is managing blowback from the recent firings of Federal Reserve Board Gov. Lisa Cook and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Susan Monarez, who also refused to leave her post.

The Primus shakeup comes as the board prepares to consider whether to approve an $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern, which if successful would decrease the number of the largest U.S. freight railroads to just five. Without Primus, the five-member board, whose appointees require Senate confirmation,would be composed of one Democrat and two Republicans. By statute, the board can’t have more than three members from the same party.

Primus was originally nominated in 2020 during Trump’s first term. Notably, he opposed the $28 billion merger between

Canadian Pacific and Kansas City Southern in 2023. Prior to joining the STB, Primus had worked on Capitol Hill for decades, including a stint as chief of staff for former Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) from 2002 to the end of 2018.

Unions that represent railroad workers came out swinging on Thursday against Primus’ termination. SMART-TD, which has publicly opposed Union Pacific’s merger with Norfolk Southern, said in a statement that Primus’ firing was “unprecedented and unjustified” and suggested outside interference from industry.

“To eliminate a Senate-confirmed position simply because corporate America disagrees with a regulator’s conclusions position is an assault on the independence of federal oversight itself,” the union said.

Jessica Kahanek, a spokesperson for the Association of American Railroads, of which both Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are a member, said its members “respect the critical role the STB plays, and value our strong working relationship with its members and staff. That has been true for more than 30 years and will remain so regardless of the Board’s composition.”

Israeli official claims to Saudi outlet that IDF troops confiscated ‘secret equipment’ near Damascus

August 28, 2025, 5:30 pm

Saudi outlet Al-Hadath reports that Israeli forces located and confiscated “secret and sensitive equipment” near Damascus, citing a senior Israeli security official.

The claim follows reports overnight of an Israeli airdrop of troops on the outskirts of the Syrian capital.

According to the report, the IDF dismantled Turkish surveillance devices planted in the Damascus area intended to monitor Israel.

The source said Jerusalem has warned the new Syrian government against aligning with Ankara, calling it “playing with fire.” The source further claimed the equipment had been housed in Syrian military bases for over a decade.

Separately, a Syrian official told Al Jazeera that four Israeli Air Force helicopters and two fighter jets arrived at a military base in the al-Kiswah area, just south of Damascus, deploying dozens of troops — reportedly special forces — who carried out searches at the site for two hours before withdrawing.

Fighter jets allegedly “cleared the way” for the helicopters and blocked Syrian reinforcements, though no clashes were reported.

The IDF has yet to officially comment on the reports, but Defense Minister Israel Katz said earlier today, “Our forces are operating on all battle fronts day and night for the security of Israel.”

Nursery school teacher is convicted of raping and drowning her partner's four-year-old daughter by sitting on her in the bath

A female nursery school teacher has been convicted of raping and drowning her partner's four-year-old daughter by sitting on her in the bath.

Amber-Lee Hughes was found guilty of the crimes against Nada-Jane Challita in the Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg on Thursday.

She was arrested after the four-year-old was discovered dead in a bathtub filled with water in 2023, inside the apartment Hughes shared with her father, Elie Challita.

As the judge described the events that occurred on 23 January 2023, the day Nada-Jane was murdered, her father's face was visibly distressed.

Throughout the trial, which began earlier this year, Hughes insisted she was innocent and pleaded not guilty. It was not until last month that she confessed to drowning the girl after an argument with Challita over infidelity, but she continued to deny the rape.

Hughes and Challita had a turbulent defined by multiple altercations, during which she continually threatened to harm the child, according to the prosecution authority.

Judge Richard Mkhabela described to the court how Hughes premeditated the murder the child.

'The accused made the threat. She has the propensity to make violent threats. The objective evidence shows that after stopping communication with Mr Challita at 16:35, Mr Challita continued sending the accused messages but she did not respond but had read the messages.'

According to the evidence handed over to the court, the nursery school teacher also raped the girl by inserting foreign objects into her genital, Eyewitness News reported.

The judge told the court that it was unnecessary to review the evidence about whether the drowning was accidental because of Hughes' admission.

'The accused’s latest admissions… is an admission that she drowned the deceased by sitting on top of her, and further that the drowning caused the deceased’s death,' he said.

He added that Hughes’ 'belated admission is incongruent with the scientific and medical evidence' presented by forensic pathologist Dr Hestelle van Stadan, who conducted the post-mortem examination.

'The said admissions meet all the elements of murder,' he noted.

Following the drowning, Hughes reportedly described making three attempts to take her own life.

She told the court she had been suffering with borderline personality disorder but admitted she was fully aware of her actions.

She developed a romantic relationship with Challita in 2021, and moved in with him and his young daughter.

IDF troops uncover and destroy kilometer-long tunnel in southern Gaza, says military

August 28, 2025 8:07 pm

IDF troops operating in southern Gaza’s Zeitoun area discovered and destroyed a roughly one-kilometer-long Hamas tunnel equipped with living quarters and weapons, the military says.

Soldiers from the 7th Brigade, under the 99th Division, located the underground tunnel during operations in the southern Gaza Strip. According to the IDF, the tunnel was used by Hamas operatives for military purposes.

In addition, the brigade, working alongside the Israeli Air Force, dismantled other terrorist infrastructure, seized additional weapons, and neutralized several terror operatives who allegedly posed a threat to troops in the area.

IDF confirms striking Houthi targets in Sanaa area of Yemen

August 28, 2025 5:54 pm

The IDF confirms that the Air Force carried out a targeted strike on a military site of the Iran-backed Houthis in the Sanaa area of Yemen, following two Israeli Air Force interceptions of Houthi drones earlier today.

Defense Minister Israel Katz, together with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and senior commanders, coordinated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via the Red Line communication system before authorizing the operation, Katz’s office says.

“As we warned the Houthis in Yemen: After the plague of darkness comes the plague of the firstborn,” Katz says in a statement, a reference to the biblical 10 plagues.

The comment appears to confirm remarks in Hebrew media attributed to a senior Israeli official that the strikes are targeting Houthi political figures.

The IDF confirms that the Air Force carried out a targeted strike on a military site of the Iran-backed Houthis in the Sanaa area of Yemen, following two Israeli Air Force interceptions of Houthi drones earlier today.

Defense Minister Israel Katz, together with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and senior commanders, coordinated with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu via the Red Line communication system before authorizing the operation, Katz’s office says.

“As we warned the Houthis in Yemen: After the plague of darkness comes the plague of the firstborn,” Katz says in a statement, a reference to the biblical 10 plagues.

The comment appears to confirm remarks in Hebrew media attributed to a senior Israeli official that the strikes are targeting Houthi political figures.

The IDF says the Houthis have acted aggressively since the start of ongoing war, aiming to harm Israel and its allies, destabilize the regional order, and disrupt global maritime freedom.

“The IDF is acting forcefully against the Houthi terror regime, alongside intensifying operations against Hamas in Gaza, and will continue to work to eliminate all threats to Israeli civilians,” the military says in a statement.

The new strike follows Sunday’s IAF operation in Houthi-controlled Sanaa, reportedly killing at least four people and injuring scores.

That strike came after a Friday night ballistic missile attack from Yemen, in which the Houthis for the first time used a projectile with a cluster bomb warhead.

"What I will tell you is that the FDA recently revoke the emergency use authorizations for three COVID vaccinations while simultaneously green lighting for new COVID-19 vaccines with 2025-2026 formulas. The reason for the revocation of that emergency use authorization is because obviously the COVID pandemic and the public health emergency is over, but uh just to correct the record because there's been a lot of misinformation on this the FDA's decision does not affect the availability of COVID vaccines for Americans who want them."

"We believe individual in choice; that's a promise both the President and the Secretary have made and it's a promise they have now delivered on."

FIRST HUMAN CASE OF FLESH EATING PARASITE CONFIRMED. HOW YOU CAN STAY SAFE.

For 70 years, the United States has been fighting an invasion at our southern border, but its not the invasion of illegal immigrants we are talking about.

The United States has, for 70 years, been fighting a continuous aerial war against the New World screwworm, a parasite that eats animals alive: cow, pig, deer, dog, even human. (Its scientific name, C. hominivorax, translates to “man-eater.”) Larvae of the parasitic fly chew through flesh, transforming small nicks into big, gruesome wounds.

The United States government, to prevent the spread of this deadly parasite, blasted flies with radiation to make them sterile and then began intensive campaign of dropping these sterile flies south of the border.

While this effort held the deadly parasite at bay for a time, the containment efforts are now failing:

But in 2022, the barrier was breached. Cases in Panama—mostly in cattle—skyrocketed from dozens a year to 1,000, despite ongoing drops of sterile flies. The parasite then began moving northward, at first slowly and then rapidly by 2024… The U.S. subsequently suspended live-cattle imports from Mexico.

Trump Is Building His Own Paramilitary Force

Aug. 27, 2025 By Ezra Klein

(Ridiculous 15 pageOP=ed from NYT that Obama is pushing. Ultimate and delusional fear mongering, hysteria and twisting every concept of intelligencefirst page only)

You know those optical illusions where you look at a picture and depending on where and how you focus your eyes — maybe you’re looking at a vase or two faces — the image keeps flickering back and forth? Looking at the Trump administration is like that for me — though the flickering is between: This is democracy — the American people are getting what they voted for, good and hard. And: This is authoritarianism — or at least the road to authoritarianism.

I can see the picture of a president doing what he was elected to do. Donald Trump ran unquestionably on mass deportations. He ran on reversing a historic surge of migration into this country. He won on that platform. He’s just doing what he promised. He’s tripling ICE’s budget. He’s funneling tens of billions of dollars to build detention centers. In L.A., protesters tried to obstruct him, so Trump called up the National Guard. And after years of railing about crime levels in our major cities, Trump is using the power he has over Washington to do something about it, to show Americans that he’s doing something about it.

I don’t like any of this. I certainly didn’t vote for it. But Trump promised, and Americans voted for, the biggest deportation operation in U.S. history. It was always going to be ugly and cruel. So I can see that picture.

And then it flickers. My eyes refocus. And I see the evisceration of due process. I see detention centers being built where it is extraordinarily hard for lawyers and families to reach the people inside. I see men in masks refusing to identify themselves and pulling people into vans. I see armed U.S. troops in camo, some on horseback, riding through MacArthur Park in Los Angeles like they’re an occupying army. I see Trump sending in armed forces to take over the American capital.

What is going to happen when, predictably, a protester throws a rock at an agent? Or a Marine hears a car backfiring and thinks it’s a gunshot?In an instant, this could all explode. You could have American troops firing on American civilians in an American city in a country-defining crisis. What happens then?

Because that’s the other picture I see— the one that keeps coming into clear focus. Not Trump cleaning up crisis or disorder butTrump creating crisis and disorder so he can build what he has wanted to build: an authoritarian state, a military or a paramilitary that answers only to him — that puts him in total control.

And I wonder: Are these pictures even different? Trump promised all of this. It is possible to destroy democracy somewhat democratically.

I want to start here by following the money a bit. The Atlantic reported that in Donald Trump’s 2026 budget you had the F.B.I. seeing a big budget cut. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives: a big cut. The Drug Enforcement Administration: again, big cut.At the same time, they’re passing a bill to triple the budget of ICE to all-in add $170 billion to immigration enforcement.

What’s behind this pattern of the big crime agencies seeing their budgets cut and immigration enforcement entering a kind of budgetary expansion we have never seen before?

I think it’s just a continuation of the hollowing out of institutions that we’ve seen over the last six months.

ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have long been the most rogue, renegade and certainly pro-Trump police agencies in the federal government. So I think Trump sees those two as the most loyal to him. Also, obviously, the mass deportations are going to ensure that those two agencies remain relevant throughout his administration.

The F.B.I. has had a long, proud history and culture. There are a lot of stains on that history and culture, but it’s an institution that has prided itself on its independence. Same with the A.T.F., which is often bucked by Republican administrations. I’ve certainly had my problems with the D.E.A. over the years, but there is a separate culture and sense of independence there.

I think this an effort to build up the two federal policing agencies that Trump sees as most loyal and deferential to him.

One quote that I came across while I was preparing for this episode from the journalist Caitlin Dickerson — you know these things and then you realize you don’t really know them, you’re not tracking their scale. of more and more agencies, larger military budget, etc….(14 more pages)

When the UFO Story Walks into A&E

27 August 2025

There is “no job description as ‘UAP Symptoms and Complications Specialist’.”

That line, from a foreword by famed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) researcher Dr Jacques Vallée, sets the tone for a new 50-page medical literature review that argues encounters with UAP are producing real-world injuries - while medicine largely looks the other way.

Published this month by the Unhidden Foundation (uNHIdden), Potential health effects associated with exposure to UAP reframes a culture-war topic as a public-health gap.

The report concludes there is “credible evidence that UAP encounters can cause physical, physiological and psychological harm,” and calls for independent research, clinical training, specialist referral pathways, and far greater transparency between military and civilian health systems.

Its bottom line: treat UAP-linked cases with “scientific rigour” and patients “with care and respect.”

The authors stress what the report is and isn’t. It does not claim proof of non-human intelligence or attempt to explain what UAP are.

Instead, it aggregates what physicians and witnesses have reported about health outcomes, and asks healthcare to catch up.

“This document does not attempt to draw conclusions where evidence is lacking,” writes Dr Daniel Weaver, a GP, in a personal preface, framing the work as a cautious, evidence-informed review aimed at clinicians.

That caution is paired with unusually direct language for a medical brief.

The executive summary lists four takeaways:

UAP are real, as acknowledged by the U.S. and U.K. government reporting;

UAP can harm human health;

Radio-frequency and microwave exposure appears to be a common mechanism; and

Civilians—and their doctors—lack access to much of the relevant knowledge because key studies remain classified.

uNhIdden’s review stitches together open-source government assessments, defence-funded research, case catalogues, and peer-reviewed medicine:

Government confirmation that UAP are “real objects.”

The report cites the U.S. Director of National Intelligence’s 2021 assessment that some UAP are physical objects and a hazard to aviation; it also quotes President Obama’s plain-spoken admission that there are “records of objects in the skies” that defy easy explanation.

In the U.K., the MoD’s Project Condign concluded in 2006: “That UAP exist is indisputable.”

Injury mechanisms.

A Defense Intelligence Agency–commissioned review - Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human and Biological Tissues - produced under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), the DIA’s broad 2008–10 UAP study administered by the agency and contracted to Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies, concluded that “humans have been found to have been injured” in close proximity to anomalous craft, with electromagnetic radiation field effects - especially in the UHF/microwave bands - identified as a primary mechanism; the AARO Report further identifies frequency “hot spots” around 400 MHz–2 GHz and describes heat-linked and neuro-sensory symptoms consistent with radio frequency exposure.

Symptoms that go beyond simple heating.

The report lists patterns from the AAWSAP files that include acute headaches, vertigo with nausea, palpitations, sleep disturbance, ocular irritation, and persistent paraesthesiae - alongside an absence of certain routine lab abnormalities - suggesting complex neurophysiological effects in some cases.
