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.

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.

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)

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.

Diddy Denied Acquittal and New Trial as Prosecutors Seek 11 Year Sentence

/0 Comments/in , /by

Prosecutors urged a New York federal judge Tuesday to send Sean “Diddy” Combs to prison for over 11 years following his conviction on prostitution-related charges, citing one of his accusers who said she lives in fear of the music mogul’s release from detention.

“His crimes of conviction are serious and have warranted sentences over ten years in multiple cases for defendants who, like Sean Combs, engaged in violence and put others in fear,” they wrote in a presentence submission requesting at least 11 years and three months in prison.

They filed their sentencing recommendation shortly after midnight, including letters from some of his accusers describing how his violence and demands had impacted their lives.

They called Combs “unrepentant” and said Combs had conceded his acts of violence and abuse throughout his trial but “incredibly, … he now argues that his victims should shoulder the blame.” (Read more from “Diddy Denied Acquittal and New Trial as Prosecutors Seek 11 Year Sentence” HERE)

Report: Thwarted Plot to Cripple New York Cell Service Far Bigger Than First Thought

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Chinese-linked operation to paralyze New York’s telecommunications network was far more extensive than authorities initially believed, according to law enforcement sources speaking to ABC News. The alarming scale of the plot has intensified the urgency of the federal investigation, as officials uncover more locations, more equipment, and a broader threat than first understood.

Plot Could Have Crippled NYC Cell Towers, 911 System

Federal agents say the operation had the potential to knock out every cell tower in the New York City area, jam 911 emergency calls, and sow widespread chaos by overloading critical communications systems.

Initial raids uncovered 100,000 SIM cards and hundreds of servers in five different vacant apartments and office spaces around the city. But now, officials say they’ve found an additional 200,000 SIM cards at a site in New Jersey, bringing the total haul to over 300,000.

Investigators with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Secret Service believe the equipment — capable of sending up to 30 million anonymous text messages per minute — was designed to overload and disable cellular networks.

“This wasn’t just spam or harassment,” one federal agent told ABC News. “This was infrastructure warfare.”

Motivation Tied to Targeting of High-Level Individuals

The investigation began after a series of suspicious incidents involving high-ranking individuals — including at least one person with direct access to former President Donald Trump — who were hit with “swatting” attacks and threatening messages sent directly to their private phones.

These incidents raised red flags among federal law enforcement and national security agencies, triggering a broader probe that eventually led to the discovery of the New York-area data centers.

So far, no arrests have been made, and authorities are still working to identify who rented the spaces and operated the sophisticated infrastructure hidden inside them.

Trump Admin May Have Eyes On New Regime Change War

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States is reportedly planning to target drug traffickers in Venezuela, raising questions about the possibility of regime change in the country.

U.S. military officials are considering attacking drug traffickers in the coming weeks within the borders of Venezuela, four sources told NBC News.

“We’ll see what happens. Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It’s not acceptable,” the White House told NBC, referencing a previous statement from Trump.

The report follows rising tensions over drugs and the mobilization of U.S. forces in the Caribbean.

Throughout September, President Donald Trump authorized striking several boats allegedly carrying drugs and drug traffickers.

“BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” Trump declared in a Truth post on September 15, attaching a video of the second boat strike. “The illicit activities by these cartels have wrought DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, killing millions of American citizens. NO LONGER.”
