Trump Admin Says US Engaged in ‘Armed Conflict’ With Drug Smugglers After 4 Boat Strikes

/11 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has informed Congress that the US engaged in “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels following recent strikes on alleged trafficking boats in the Caribbean.

The Department of War told House and Senate lawmakers that a series of airstrikes in September had targeted trafficking gangs now designated as combatants waging an “armed attack” on America via a deadly surge of drug overdoses, sources with direct knowledge of the discussions told The Post.

The so-called “1230 report” to members of Congress, named after a section in the annual defense authorization bill, “is legally mandated … following any incident in which the United States Armed Forces are involved in an attack or hostilities,” a White House official said.

“This report was issued to Congress following the September 15 strike against a Designated Terrorist Organization,” the official added. “It does not convey any new information.”

The Pentagon notice was first reported by the New York Times Thursday.

President Trump had boasted about recent airstrikes eliminating four alleged Venezuelan drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean during a speech Monday at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia.

Netflix Grooming Syndicate’s Stock Slides as Boycott Rages

/3 Comments/in , /by

The Netflix Grooming Syndicate was caught red-handed grooming children as young as two, a boycott led by Elon Musk followed, and now Netflix has watched its stock (and reputation) slide for two days in a row.

“Shares slid 0.8% to $1,162 ahead of the opening bell, having dropped 2.3% the previous session,” reports Barrons. . .

Barrons refuses to mention the and, which is the amoral Netflix choosing to stream animated programs that expose small children to homosexuality, gay kisses, and a little boy in a dress prancing around for his gay dads.

Netflix is probably too big to fail now. It’s an international corporation, the biggest entertainment company on the planet by far, and no online American boycott will bring it down. But the shame that comes with being caught in the demonic act of sexualizing little kids might bring about change. What Netflix has done is indefensible, and they know it’s indefensible, but they had hoped to sneak this through in a way that would appease the trans loons without angering Normal People.

Well, now Normal People are on to them. (Read more from “Netflix Grooming Syndicate’s Stock Slides as Boycott Rages” HERE)

White House Adviser Says ICE Agents will Attend the Super Bowl: ‘We Will Deport You’

/17 Comments/in , /by

Corey Lewandowski, an adviser at the Department of Homeland Security, said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents will be present at the Super Bowl after the NFL selected staunchly Puerto Rican singer Bad Bunny, an outspoken critic of ICE, to lead the halftime show.

As Breitbart News reported, Bad Bunny has expressed staunchly anti-ICE views and even previously pledged not to perform in the United States in protest of the Trump administration.

“Honest, I can’t risk the safety of my fans like that. Mainland America just doesn’t feel necessary to me anymore,” Bad Bunny said prior to the NFL tapping him for the halftime show. “I’ve already performed there many times. Fans in the U.S. have had plenty of chances to see me perform live.”

The singer also told i-D Magazine last month that he feared ICE raids at his U.S. concerts.

“But there was the issue of — like, fucking ICE could be outside [my concerts]. And it’s something that we were talking about and very concerned about,” he said.

Musk Announces Grokipedia to Challenge Wikipedia’s Left-Wing Bias

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a bold move that challenges the established gatekeepers of online information, tech billionaire Elon Musk has announced the creation of “Grokipedia,” a new encyclopedia project aimed squarely at dethroning Wikipedia. Announced via his social media platform X, this initiative from Musk’s xAI company responds to growing concerns that Wikipedia has been compromised by partisan activists, undermining its mission to provide neutral knowledge. Musk’s plan is to leverage his Grok artificial intelligence to build what he promises will be a more truthful and reliable repository of information for the public.

The announcement follows public criticisms from notable tech figures, including an interview with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who has himself warned about the platform’s descent into bias. Echoing this sentiment, investor David Sacks stated on X that “Wikipedia is hopelessly biased.” Sacks elaborated that “an army of left-wing activists maintain the bios and fight reasonable corrections,” creating a significant problem given the site’s prominence in search results and its use in training other AI models.

For years, Wikipedia has presented itself as a neutral, crowd-sourced project governed by strict policies of verifiability. However, critics argue that its editorial process has been captured by a specific ideological worldview. The site’s immense influence, as the seventh most-visited website globally, means its alleged biases are amplified across the internet and absorbed into other technologies, shaping public perception on a massive scale. . .

The vision for Grokipedia is not merely to replicate Wikipedia but to surpass it through technological superiority. Musk has suggested that Grok can use “heavy amounts of inference compute” to analyze a Wikipedia page and determine what is true, partially true, or false. The AI would then rewrite the page to correct falsehoods and add crucial missing context, a process purportedly free from human political motivations.

However, the project faces skepticism. While the ambition is grand, Grok itself has experienced controversies, including instances where it generated inappropriate responses. Building a system that can reliably discern complex truth from bias is a monumental challenge. Furthermore, winning over the general public from a deeply entrenched and familiar source like Wikipedia will be an uphill battle.

Trump Grants Qatar Security Guarantee Following Israeli Strike in Doha

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has issued a formal security guarantee to Qatar, pledging U.S. defense support in the event of an external attack on the Gulf nation — just after an Israeli airstrike in Doha killed several Hamas leaders. The executive order, signed on September 29, affirms the United States’ commitment to protect Qatar’s sovereignty and critical infrastructure and declares the U.S.-Qatar relationship an “enduring alliance.”

The move comes amid rising regional tensions and growing friction between U.S. and Israeli interests following the Israeli strike that targeted Hamas operatives inside Qatar’s capital. The assassination — which occurred inside a civilian building — was sharply condemned by President Trump, who reportedly demanded an apology from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his visit to the White House on the same day the executive order was signed.

According to the executive order, the United States “shall regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or critical infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.” In response to such an attack, the order says, the U.S. will take “all lawful and appropriate measures — including diplomatic, economic, and, if necessary, military” to defend Qatar.

The order credits Qatar for hosting the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East, Al Udeid Air Base, and for playing a key mediating role in regional conflicts.

“The State of Qatar has hosted United States forces, enabled critical security operations, and stood as a steadfast ally in pursuit of peace, stability, and prosperity, both in the Middle East and abroad,” the order reads.

Trump’s security pledge comes amid a broader shift in his approach to Middle East diplomacy. During his second term, the president has grown increasingly close to the Qatari government. He visited Doha earlier this year and even accepted a Qatari gift: a 747 aircraft that Trump said could replace the aging Air Force One.

Qatar has also backed Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan, which calls for an immediate ceasefire, a full exchange of hostages, staged Israeli withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, and the creation of a transitional government. Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said he supports the framework, though “some issues in it need clarification and negotiation.”

Federal Court Strikes Down Gun Ban at U.S. Post Offices

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A federal judge in Texas has struck down a long-standing ban on carrying firearms inside United States Post Offices and on surrounding postal property, ruling that the law violates the Constitution. The decision, handed down by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, comes as a major win for the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), and two private citizens who jointly filed the lawsuit in June 2024.

The court issued a summary judgment declaring the prohibition unconstitutional and immediately blocked its enforcement against the plaintiffs. The legal challenge targeted both federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 930(a) and postal regulation 39 C.F.R. § 232.1(1), which had long made it illegal to carry firearms in and around post office properties. According to the court, these rules do not align with the nation’s historical legal tradition and therefore fail under current constitutional scrutiny.

The case, FPC v. Bondi, questioned whether peaceful citizens with lawful firearm possession could legally carry when visiting routine federal facilities like the post office. SAF founder Alan M. Gottlieb noted that no historical precedent supports banning firearms on such properties, adding that the court saw through what he described as a “thinly veiled” infringement on constitutional rights.

Joe Rogan Suggests Pete Hegseth Convening Generals Was Necessary After ‘Crazy People’ Ran Biden Admin

/0 Comments/in , /by

Podcast host Joe Rogan on “The Joe Rogan Experience” Tuesday suggested it was important for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to order military leadership to convene in Quantico, Virginia, following four years of former President Joe Biden’s administration.

During his speech at Quantico, Hegseth announced his department would mandate all military members pass two fitness tests per year, regardless of rank, and to meet the highest combat standards previously reserved solely for men. Rogan argued on his podcast that President Donald Trump’s administration seemed focused on military strength, while the Biden administration prioritized “identity politics.”

[Warning: content contains explicit language.]

“[S]upposedly … they want to get all the generals together and give them some sort of a moral and ethical mandate. Like preparedness,” Rogan said. “‘This is what we want the military to be. No more fucking politics no more identity politics and bullshit. The most important thing is be ready. Be ready. Have the best, most capable military that’s humanly possible given the resources that we have today. This is where our goal is. This is where our job is,’ which makes sense.”

One of Rogan’s guests, Andy Bishop of The Red Clay Strays band, asked whether it was necessary for the Trump administration “to call everybody together” to disseminate that message. Rogan responded by criticizing the Biden administration.

“Well, you saw what the fuck was going on over the last four years,” the podcast host said. “You got guys in dresses talking about how it’s really important to have inclusiveness. ‘It’s the most important thing about the military is inclusivity.’”

Iraq War Veteran ID’d as Gunman Who Attacked Grand Blanc LDS Church, Killing 4 and Setting It Ablaze

/0 Comments/in , /by

The madman who killed at least four people and wounded eight others at a Michigan Latter-day Saints church is a 40-year-old Iraq War veteran who served in the US Marines, The Post can confirm.

Thomas Jacob Sanford rammed his Chevy Silverado truck into the building before opening fire on worshipers at a Sunday service at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan.

The vehicle had two large American flags behind the cab and a set of deer antlers attached to the bumper.

He also set the church ablaze, causing the entire structure to burn down. Authorities fear there may be more victims in the fire.

A Facebook post by Sanford’s mother says the gunman — who died at the scene in a shootout with cops — served in Iraq from 2004 to 2008.

Authorities later confirmed that Sanford, from nearby Burton, Michigan, is the lone suspect. (Read more from “Iraq War Veteran ID’d as Gunman Who Attacked Grand Blanc LDS Church, Killing 4 and Setting It Ablaze” HERE)

REPORT: Israel Issues Final Warning for Gaza City Evacuation as Full-Scale Invasion Nears Amid Peace Deal Pressure

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Israeli forces close in on Gaza City, the Israeli military has issued what it calls a “final opportunity” for Palestinians to flee, warning that those who remain will be treated as “terrorists and supporters of terror.” The warning comes as the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claim near-total control of the Netzarim Corridor, a central route that effectively splits the Gaza Strip in two.

According to Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, the move is aimed at isolating Hamas in Gaza City. “This is the last opportunity for Gaza residents who wish to do so to move south,” Katz stated, while adding that the military operation will proceed regardless of ongoing cease-fire talks. “We are preparing for all possibilities,” he said, referring to both the goal of eliminating Hamas and freeing the remaining 48 Israeli hostages.

While Israel urges civilians to flee south, questions remain over where exactly Palestinians are expected to go. Southern Gaza is already overwhelmed with displaced residents, limited shelter, and ongoing Israeli airstrikes. Humanitarian agencies have warned repeatedly that no area of Gaza is truly safe.
Reports from Gaza’s civil defense indicate that 36 people were killed in Gaza City on Wednesday alone, underscoring the dangers of attempting to evacuate amid constant shelling. Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have condemned the evacuation as forced displacement, warning that treating civilians who remain as combatants violates international law.

The United Nations has described the situation as a “looming catastrophe,” and the International Criminal Court is reportedly reviewing whether the siege and bombardment meet the legal definition of genocide, given the high civilian death toll, widespread displacement, and destruction of civilian infrastructure, including hospitals and churches.

The siege of Gaza City comes amid growing scrutiny of Israeli military actions. Multiple churches, including the historic Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius, have been struck during the conflict, drawing international condemnation. Israel claims the strikes target Hamas operatives using civilian sites as shields, but religious leaders and humanitarian groups insist these attacks violate protections under international law.

With access to clean water, electricity, and medical care all but vanished in northern Gaza, the implications of a full siege could be devastating for the tens of thousands who remain, many of whom are elderly, disabled, or unable to evacuate due to lack of transport.

As the violence escalates, pressure is mounting on all parties to accept a U.S.-backed cease-fire plan spearheaded by former President Donald Trump. The 20-point proposal includes:

An immediate cease-fire
The exchange of all remaining hostages
A staged withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza
The disarmament of Hamas
The establishment of a transitional government under international supervision

The proposal has been backed by several Arab states and is reportedly being reviewed by Hamas leadership. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has signaled that military objectives will not be paused for diplomatic talks. “The only path forward is victory over Hamas,” Netanyahu said this week.

With the IDF declaring that anyone left in Gaza City may be considered a combatant, the stage is set for what may be the bloodiest phase of the war yet. Humanitarian groups warn that labeling civilians as enemy combatants risks mass civilian casualties and undermines the principle of distinction — a core tenet of international humanitarian law.

The UN estimates that over 1.8 million Palestinians — more than 80% of Gaza’s population — have already been displaced since the conflict reignited nearly two years ago. Entire neighborhoods have been flattened, and vital infrastructure has been decimated.

If a full-scale invasion proceeds, it could mark a significant escalation in a war that is already being examined under the lens of potential war crimes and crimes against humanity.

White House Yanks Controversial Nominee to Helm Bureau of Labor Statistics

/0 Comments/in , /by

Conservative economist EJ Antoni’s nomination to become the next commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics was withdrawn by the White House late Tuesday, with much of the nation’s capital focused on the ongoing drama of the government shutdown.

“Dr. EJ Antoni is a brilliant economist and an American patriot that will continue to do good work on behalf of our great country,” a White House official said in a statement.

“President Trump is committed to fixing the longstanding failures at the BLS that have undermined the public’s trust in critical economic data. The President plans to announce a new nominee very soon.”

Trump nominated Antoni on Aug. 11, ten days after firing then-BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer following a lackluster jobs report that coincided with significant revisions to past figures the bureau released.

Antoni, the chief economist for The Heritage Foundation, was expected to face a close confirmation vote in the Senate amid criticism that he lacked experience both in public service and in compiling labor data.
