A sculpture featuring a cracked Statue of Liberty crushed under a golden "thumbs up" and emblazoned with "Dictator Approved" has appeared on the National Mall. The 8-foot-tall art installation, an apparent criticism of President Donald Trump, has been drawing the attention of visitors at the Capitol this week. It is unclear who put it there, but it was first spotted Tuesday near the site where a bronze statue mocking rioters who stormed the US Capitol on 6 Jan 2021 was placed months before. "This statue will call attention to that imagery by linking our American traditions to freedom to the actual praising these types of oppressive leaders have given Donald Trump," the permit application with the National Park Service (NPS) said. read more


The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) questioned ex-President Jair Bolsonaro and seven high-ranking military officers over the 8 Jan 2023 attempted coup in Brasilia. Jair Bolsonaro and the defendants acknowledged that they conspired to prevent the inauguration of President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva, who was elected in 2022. Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of the defendant, is accused of obstructing and threatening the legal proceedings against his father through his activities in the US. In Feb 2025, Eduardo Bolsonaro resigned from his position as federal deputy and moved to Texas to coordinate directly with the Republican Party. Since then, the Trump administration has promoted a series of measures to "put pressure" on the Brazilian judicial system. USSECSTATE Marco Rubio stated that the US government is "strongly considering" sanctions against Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Elon Musk previously threatened this same justice over 'X' regulatory non-compliance issues in Brazil. read more


Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is angry and wants President Donald Trump to bomb Mexico, not Iran, she griped on social media: Twitter. "I don't know anyone in America who has been the victim of a crime or killed by Iran," she complained. "America has not dropped bunker busters on the Cartel's sophisticated drug tunnels, launched tomahawks on massive cartel poisonous drug operations, or gone to war against the cartels [sic] international terrorists [sic] networks." "American troops have been killed and forever torn apart physically and mentally for regime change, foreign wars, and for military industrial base profits. I'm sick of it." Greene insisted she did not want to "fight or fund nuclear armed Israel's wars that they started." read more


Iranian authorities have detained a European national on accusations of "spying on sensitive areas of the country." The individual's nationality has not yet been confirmed. The alleged spy was arrested while cycling through a restricted security zone in Markazi Province. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has arrested 22 people in the city of Qom, accusing them of spying for Israel. Map: Iran. Since Israel's unprovoked surprise attack on Iran, 13 people have been executed as spies. In recent years, seven French citizens have been detained by Iranian authorities, with two still being held in custody. French President Emmanuel Macron said he had spoken with his Iranian counterpart by phone, demanding the immediate release of the two remaining detainees. Nota Bene: Emmanuel Macron promised to recognize the State of Palestine which he still has yet to do. read more

51 dead and 104 injured Muslims were taken to the few functioning hospitals in Gaza over the past 24 hours. This casualty count seems to be below average for the highly murderous IDF. The death toll in the Gaza Strip is now 55,959, the majority of whom are children and women. Since the start of Israel's Nakba against the Palestinian people on 7 Oct 2023, 131,242 Arabs have also been wounded or maimed. After AIPAC-funded US Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) green-lighted the horrendous GOP budget in March 2025 which released billions of American taxpayer dollars to Israel, the IDF resumed its killing spree, resulting in 5,647 Arabs dead and 19,201 maimed since 18 March 2025. read more
