Trump Says $20 Billion Aid for Argentina Depends on a Milei Election Victory
‘I’m with this man because his philosophy is correct,’ Trump told reporters.
Trump has long held onto the ego-centric illusion that only he possessed such personal rapport with the big 3 dictators of the world [Putin, Xi and Kim], that his influence could have prevented all previous wars and solve all current conflicts. Trump’s initial appearance of success in the Gaza peace deal (which won’t last in the long-term) has only reenforced Trump’s delusional self-image as the great “peacemaker of the world.” It was Vladimir Putin who first dashed Trump’s self-deception by fooling him in August into thinking Russia was a viable peace partner while promptly increasing his massive drone and bombing campaign against Ukrainian civilians and non-military infrastructure. This week, it was Xi Jinping’s turn to slap Trump in the face. After agreeing earlier this year with Trump’s trade representatives to free up rare earth mineral sales to the US in exchange for more favorable tariff rates, Xi shocked Trump this week by backtracking on that agreement and imposing even heavier restrictions rare earth mineral exports to all Western countries, including the US, to deprive all non-Chinese high-tech industries from these key rare minerals. Trump responded with threats of an additional 100% tariffs on all Chinese goods on top of current tariffs, which will hurt Chinese industries while dramatically increasing consumer prices here in the USA.

"Russian troops with concealed faces and unmarked uniforms have appeared at Estonia's border, echoing tactics used at Ukraine's borders in 2014," the same report claims. Estonian officials are hyping the as yet undefined threat as a "clear danger". But it does seem that someone on the Russian side was sending a 'message'.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pushing for mandatory nutrition education in medical schools, emphasizing its importance in preventing chronic diseases. Kennedy argues that future physicians must learn to prescribe diets alongside medications to combat diet-related illnesses, which claim over a million American lives annually. Current data shows many medical schools provide minimal nutrition instruction.
Jones was found liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress after calling the Sandy Hook mass shooting a hoax.
in 2012-13 the Obama administration helped its Sunni allies Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar provide arms to Syrian and non-Syrian armed groups to force President Bashar al-Assad out of power. And in 2013 the administration began to provide arms to what the CIA judged to be “relatively moderate” anti-Assad groups—meaning they incorporated various degrees of Islamic extremism. That policy, ostensibly aimed at helping replace the Assad regime with a more democratic alternative, has actually helped build up al Qaeda’s Syrian franchise al Nusra Front into the dominant threat to Assad.
For many years during the height of the war in Syria, Russian jets pummeled the Al-Qaeda/Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) enclave of Idlib province. Even some US officials admitted it was the biggest single concentration of Al-Qaeda terrorists in the world (yet the CIA had a significant role in helping them oust it from government forces in the first place).
A growing list of news organizations with access to Pentagon briefings have formally rejected a new Defense Department (or Dept of War) policy that would require journalists to sign a pledge promising not to seek unauthorized materials and limiting their access to certain areas unless accompanied by an official. In essence it's part of the continuing crackdown on leaks.
Trump's move last Friday to threaten Beijing with an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods, in response to China's sweeping new export controls on rare earths and ahead of a planned Trump-Xi meeting later this month, signals that both sides are trying to gain as much leverage as possible before the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in South Korea.
"OMB is making every preparation to batten down the hatches and ride out the Democrats’ intransigence," the White House Office of Management and Budget wrote Tuesday on X. "Pay the troops, pay law enforcement, continue the RIFs, and wait."
The California law will now take effect on July 1, 2026, “[banning] the sale of new Glock-brand pistols and Glock-style clones.” In my view, it is unconstitutional under prior Supreme Court precedent. Democrats previously called for banning “Glock switches” that can be affixed to the rear of a Glock slide to make the pistol shoot full auto. However, such switches are already unlawful. They are now going after the gun itself, confirming the objections of gun rights groups that such early bans were moves to lay the foundation to ban semiautomatic weapons generally.
This marks the second time in a week that the the Feodosia facility has been struck and gone up in flames. Importantly, it is Crimea's largest oil storage and transshipment hub, with a capacity of around 250,000 tons.
Washington is one of a handful of Democrat-run states that have pushed back against President Trump’s executive order banning biological males from competing in women’s sports.
On a historic day, Hamas has released all remaining Israeli hostages following two years of war. Twenty in total have been released, with an initial seven handed over in the first wave, followed by 13 more. Twenty-eight additional deceased captives are expected being returned, though there are reports that only four of the deceased have been transferred back to Israel at this point. In return, 250 Palestinian prisoners serving long and life sentences are now being released from Israeli prisons as part of the first phase of the US-brokered deal. Additionally, over 1,700 Palestinians being held without charge are to be released.
The envelope bore official Chinese postal markings indicating it either originated from China or was returned from China—at the same time that pro-Beijing actors have stepped up their campaign to target and threaten The Epoch Times.
President Trump's latest roundtable on ANTIFA wasn't just a political statement — it was a long-overdue reckoning against rising far-left political violence. For years, journalists and citizens alike have watched America's streets burn, our cities vandalized, and our law enforcement vilified under banners of "resistance." But as the President's meeting revealed, ANTIFA is only one mask worn by a much larger monster — a transnational network of NGOs, foreign financiers, and ideological operatives quietly fueling what Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute called "Riot Inc."
The U.S. remains dangerously dependent on China, the world's largest producer of rare earths, for these critical minerals that are essential inputs into the manufacturing of drones, humanoid robots, EVs, and advanced weaponry. Anduril Industries founder Palmer Luckey sat down with Bloomberg on Friday to discuss how America's defense supply chains are dangerously reliant on China. He said the U.S. must urgently "reindustrialize" and rebuild its capacity to produce rare earths, semiconductors, and advanced computing hardware domestically if it wants to survive the 2030s.
To give a sense of just how vast the outage was, Ukrainian energy firm DTEK later said it was able to restore power to over 240,000 households in the region, but with many more still in need of help. Just within the 24-hour prior, the Kyiv area also experienced rare blackouts, along with many other regions, after a key electrical generation plant was directly struck by either missiles or drones.
The Trump administration revealed in a late-Friday court filing that the White House has begun laying off more than 4,000 federal employees as the government shutdown entered its 10th day. Unlike standard temporary furloughs, these moves are permanent layoffs. The decision has infuriated Democrats, who called it politically motivated and "illegal," while conservatives praised it as a long-promised effort to trim the bloated federal bureaucracy (continued DOGE-related efforts).
A video posted on social media shows Chicago residents warmly greeting U.S. Border Patrol agents who are deployed to help Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers rounding up criminal aliens. The welcome stands in sharp contrast to the actions by organized anti-ICE radicals.
Hegseth proclaimed at a signing ceremony alongside Qatari Minister of Defense Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani at the Pentagon that he is "proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force Facility at the Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho."
This marks a departure from President Joe Biden’s practice since 2021 of issuing dual proclamations that observed both Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day on Oct. 13.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center long ago abandoned civil rights work and turned into a partisan smear machine,” Patel said. “Their so-called hate map has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.” “That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership,” Patel added.
This summer, the SPLC added Kirk’s Turning Point USA to the “hate map.” It remains unclear whether this may have inspired Robinson, and the SPLC condemned the assassination, but it has not removed Turning Point from the map. The SPLC has refused to add Antifa, Black Lives Matter, or vandals targeting churches and pro-life pregnancy centers to the “hate map.”
At this point, it feels like every week brings another revelation about how far the Biden regime went to weaponize the government against its political enemies. And the American people are exhausted… not from outrage, but from watching bombshell after bombshell drop with no accountability. They’ve seen enough corruption to fill a 10-story library but still haven’t seen a single perp walk. So, the fatigue is real, and it’s justified.
US equity markets are tumbling following comments from President Trump threatening “a massive increase of tariffs on Chinese products” being imported into the US, accusing China of becoming “hostile” due to their export controls Additionally, Trump said he saw “no reason” to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping
"Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize for getting elected as a black man He then went on to drop 26,000+ drone strike bombs in more than 7 countries and deepened racial divisions in America to unprecedented levels Trump has signed more peace deals and stopped more war..." DC Draino
The Washington Examiner reported, the Employment Policies Institute found California has lost nearly 20,000 fast-food jobs since Newsom’s law took effect. That’s one-quarter of all fast-food job losses nationwide.
After a whistleblower alerted The Defender, an OSHA spokesperson confirmed an internal directive telling healthcare employers not to report or track COVID-19 vaccine injuries. OSHA removed the policy from its website after inquiries from The Defender. Critics said the directive concealed the scope of vaccine injuries and made it difficult for injured workers to obtain workers’ compensation or disability benefits.
The [American Bar Association] long ago ceased to promote best practices for legal education—leading my colleague at The Heritage Foundation and me to call for federal and state actions to end the ABA’s accreditation monopoly. In April, President Donald Trump issued an executive order explicitly criticizing the ABA’s accrediting arm for its problematic DEI practices
French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned after less than a month in office on Monday and less than 24 hours after naming a new government that prompted a key coalition ally to withdraw support. The move deepened the country’s political crisis and left President Emmanuel Macron with few options.
