President Trump delivers a blunt message to U.S. allies: America will no longer carry the burden alone. Trump argues that nations relying on energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz should take greater responsibility for protecting their own interests rather than depending on the United States. "Fight for yourselves. Build your own strength. Secure your own future." A statement that’s already sparking intense debate across the world.

Tulsi Gabbard, in her recent days as Director of U.S. National Intelligence, has released another batch of declassified documents. The materials indicate that Dr. Anthony #Fauci, while heading the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, conspired with intelligence community leadership to deliberately suppress the hypothesis about the laboratory origin of #COVID-19. In the agency's press release, it notes that Fauci, through the NGO #EcoHealth Alliance, directed millions of taxpayer dollars to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to conduct dangerous research with bats. Meanwhile, when the pandemic began, he acted as a behind-the-scenes advisor to the intelligence community, recruiting loyal experts for the intelligence agencies to promote the version of the virus's natural origin. The published documents also expose Fauci in false testimony. In 2024, he claimed at Congressional hearings that he had not discussed viral research with the CIA or FBI. Now the opposite is proven. Moreover, facts have emerged about harsh reprisals within the intelligence agencies themselves: analysts who tried to defend the laboratory leak version were intimidated, denied career advancement, or rapidly fired.

Automatic registration for US military draft to begin in December Eligible men will automatically be registered into the #military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money. Most men between the ages of 18 and 25 are already required to register with the Selective Service, but automatic registration was mandated in December 2025 as part of the fiscal 2026 National Defense Authorization Act. The U.S. has not had a draft since the Vietnam War, with military service being voluntary since 1973. But former President Jimmy Carter in 1980 reinstated the Selective Service in the event of a “national emergency,” where the registry could be used to “provide personnel to the Department of War and alternative service for conscientious objectors, if authorized by the President and Congress.” Many have questioned whether a U.S. military draft could take place amid the war in Iran, which is currently in a tenuous two-week ceasefire. Under the new rule, men will be registered automatically within 30 days of their 18th birthdays. Women are still ineligible for the draft, even as lawmakers in the past few years have attempted to attach provisions adding women to the draft as part of the annual defense policy bill. The measures have all been stripped out before a final vote on the legislation.

Europe Out of Order...! Spain, Switzerland, Italy and now France have closed either fully or partially their airspace to American military aircraft that are being used in the 3rd Gulf War, a sign displaying the growing rift between Europe and the U.S. If countries in Central Europe start following the example set by Spain, each sortie from England will cost the USAF more jet fuel as then number of flight corridors is reduced and travel time is increased.

Aviano, Sigonella, Souda Bay, Ramstein core #NATO bases now potentially within range of Iranian Missiles. Even eastern flank positions like Rukla and Orzysz could be affected at extended range. What really matters now is scale: how many missiles Iran has, and how long it can sustain launches. The U.S. has used the bases at Sigonella and Souda Bay to launch reconnaissance missions on Iran with MQ-4C Triton drones.

Mojtaba Khamenei s/o slain Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei & the newly appointed Supreme Leader, was critically injured in an airstrike by the U.S. and Israeli air forces this afternoon and later succumbed to his injuries. Iranian TV admits the new Supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei was seriously injured from an Israeli strike. Trump told his advisers that he would support the elimination of Mojtaba Khamenei if it is revealed that he is not willing to retreat to the American demands, including ending the nuclear program, according to official American sources

President Trump holds news conference after announcing U.S. has captured Venezuelan leader Maduro

Mapping potential military targets in Venezuela Yesterday, the U.S. announced Operation 'Southern Spear' to "remove narco-terrorists from our hemisphere." With the Ford carrier strike group now on station in SOUTHCOM, the U.S. could launch land strikes at any time. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth compares the upcoming "Operation Southern Spear" against Venezuela to America's past bombings of Iranian nuclear facilities and America's past month-long bombing campaign against Yemen's Ansarallah.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: President Trump ordered action — and the Department of War is delivering. Today, I’m announcing Operation 'SOUTHERN SPEAR.' Led by Joint Task Force Southern Spear and the U.S. Southern Command, this mission defends our Homeland, removes narco-terrorists from our Hemisphere, and secures our Homeland from the drugs that are killing our people. The Western Hemisphere is America’s neighborhood – and we will protect it.

U.S. ambassador to France, Charles Kushner, condemns France's Macron for "not taking sufficient measures to combat antisemitism" in France. The American ambassador expressed his displeasure with #Macron's pledge to recognise the State of Palestine, claiming it only emboldens antisemites and endangers French #Jews. In a letter addressed to the French president, Kushner said: "Tolerating antisemitism is betraying the French Republic". #Kushner is the father-in-law of Ivanka Trump and the father of Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Charles Kushner directed much of Trump's foreign policy during his first term (2017-2021).
