Leaked CIA assessment: "Israeli officials know they're losing the American public. Panicked that America's political consensus on the Rogue state is collapsing, Israel is pursuing a long-term strategy to permanently enmesh her Pariah nation within America's military, intelligence, and defense establishment " in ways future administrations would struggle to unwind."

Israel is a murderous Rogue state


Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R-GA): "We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Dummkopf Trumpf because he made that promise. But he's betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun."

AIPAC obviously funds genocide and Islamophobic foreign wars using American taxpayer dollars which this circle intends to fight


Capital One Financial has for the first time formally linked its decision to close the Trump Organization's bank accounts to anti-money laundering concerns, a significant disclosure made on Friday.


President Donald Trump went on a posting spree on Truth Social on Saturday, sharing AI-generated images of him doing everything from arresting extraterrestrials to kissing a statue of Jesus Christ. Trump went on Truth Social on Saturday to insist the United States is winning the Iran war and lash out at Jeannine Pirro after the U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. dropped criminal charges against an Olympian accused of vandalizing the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. He also posted a number of strange memes that ran all over the place. One image was of him kissing a golden statue of Jesus. The president also doubled down on his long-standing wish for the United States to take control of Greenland. Trump said on Friday it'd be a good bet to say the United States will have "operational control" of Greenland before the end of his second term.


A federal judge has rejected X.AI's request for a temporary restraining order that would have halted enforcement of Minnesota's AI nudification ban. The bill was passed with near unanimous support in both the Minnesota House and Senate earlier this year. The law bans the use of technology that generates fake nude images of real people. X.AI challenged the law, saying the company already prohibits its users from generating nude or sexualized images of people without their consent and claims the Minnesota statute "imposes an overbroad, content-based ban on free speech and the tools of visual expression in a clumsy attempt to prohibit nudification."

"Today, I sent a letter to the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops regarding their schools' vaccine mandates. Ironically, they won't offer religious exemptions as prescribed by state law. This is troubling and may disqualify them from state scholarships and vouchers."

This worthless Republican political hack with the punchable face is also investigating Dr Anthony Fauci

President Donald Trump announced he is canceling planned attacks on Iran, citing progress in talks. He said the pause is contingent on "being able to rapidly make a DEAL," comments that come a day after US officials said new strikes could take place as soon as this weekend.


Louisiana retailers can no longer charge customers extra for using debit cards under a new state law that took effect Saturday, giving consumers new legal protections and expanding the attorney general's authority to enforce the ban. Senate Bill 254 prohibits retail businesses from imposing a surcharge on customers who pay with a debit card instead of cash, check, credit card or another form of payment. The law defines a surcharge as any additional amount charged by a retail business that increases the cost of a transaction for the privilege of using a debit card. It does not apply to credit card transactions. Consumers who are assessed an unlawful debit card surcharge may recover actual damages from the retailer. Before filing a lawsuit, however, the customer must provide written notice of the alleged violation.


Multiple people were killed and others were injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon at an In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho, according to officials.

"We believe that the threat to the community is over," Twin Falls Police Chief Matthew Hicks told reporters Saturday evening. Read more


Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke to President Trump on Saturday and expressed concern over his plans for massive new strikes against Iran, according to two U.S. officials and a third source with knowledge of the call.

Why it matters: Trump is seriously considering attacking Iranian energy targets in the coming days in response to Iran's missile strike on a U.S. base in Jordan and its continued disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. He has yet to issue final orders. Read more


Nick Adams' Foundation for Liberty and American Greatness has brought in millions in donations and helped him land a State Department appointment, but records show there is almost no indication FLAG was spending that money on its stated mission.


We Now Have the Leading Charge in Trump's Next Impeachment

Why is the president willing to withdraw Todd Blanche's nomination? The answer constitutes a blatant high crime and misdemeanor.

One can sense that John Cornyn and Thom Tillis, the two outgoing Republican senators who have suddenly developed the backbone to maybe vote against the attorney general nominee now that they're not facing their voters again, represent a far more broadly (if privately) held view in the Senate GOP that the man is manifestly unqualified.


Federal officials on Friday released an updated framework for the Colorado River, requiring Arizona, California and Nevada to significantly reduce their water use in the coming years. The plan, released by the Interior Department's Bureau of Reclamation, reduces the water available for use by the three states by 3 million acre-feet in the coming decade. One acre-foot is enough water for as many as four households to use for a whole year. The cuts represent the largest proposed cuts for those states to date
