“More than 70 repatriation missions have returned 1,500 fighters to their home countries, yet much work remains,” Adm. Brad Cooper told a UN conference in New York. “Today, I join you all in calling on every nation with detained or displaced personnel in Syria to return your citizens.”
The ‘citizens’ and ‘fighters’ in question are ISIS. And some are coming here.
Even while one arm of the Trump administration is trying to deport Islamic terrorists and their supporters, another is trying to import them into our communities and around the world.

EXCLUSIVE: US Nuclear Bomber Fleet Shares Fence With Trailer Park Linked To Chinese Intel-Tied Fraudster
The top secret June 2025 B-2 Bomber strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities was launched from Whiteman Air Force base, which shares a fence with a foreign-owned trailer park linked to a convicted fraudster with Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence ties.
The Knob Noster Trailer Park in rural Missouri is located less than a mile from the runway of “the world’s only nuclear-capable stealth bomber.” Business filings and social media posts reveal the RV park is one of several properties near U.S. military interests acquired by a web of shell companies, which are ultimately owned by a couple who live in Canada and belong to organizations controlled by disgraced Chinese tycoon and self-described former CCP intelligence “affiliate,” Miles Guo, The New Yorker wrote in a 2022 profile.

Administration officials released the response after viral footage appeared to show him convulsing in his car on Thursday while Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents tried to arrest his wife during a targeted operation in Massachusetts.

‘Don’t Awaken The Jaguar’: Colombia’s Petro Issues Grandiose Threat To Trump Over Cartel Crackdown
The leader of the top cocaine-exporting nation in Latin America issued threatening statements directed at President Trump on Sunday in response to the ongoing U.S. crackdown on drug cartels.

The Trump administration has reportedly mulled striking cartel targets in both Venezuela and Mexico.

Lyons vowed to track down the gunman, saying that law enforcement agencies were searching for the gunman.

Faggot loving, baby-killing JINOs (who don't want smaller government)
Something a long the lines that executive’s RIF or entire departments can’t be challenged after the gummit has been shut down over 41 days????
I can’t remember his name either, but I thought I read that trump has appointed a grimm reaper to start recommending cuts
That’s the perfect format! Small synopsis, lots of links….thank you! So much quick information to scan through.
| Presidential Powers After ~40 Days of Government Shutdown (USA) | |
|---|---|
| Legal Reality | No specific powers or authorities are automatically granted to the President after approximately 40 days (or any fixed duration) of a government shutdown. The Antideficiency Act (31 U.S.C. §§ 1341-1342, 1511-1519) applies from day one and prohibits spending without appropriations, with no time-based escalations. |
| Core Exceptions (Ongoing) | Activities protecting life and property, constitutional duties (e.g., Commander-in-Chief), and mandatory programs (Social Security, Medicare) continue regardless of shutdown length. |
| Executive Discretion via OMB | President, through the Office of Management and Budget, designates "essential" vs. "non-essential" employees and prioritizes operations. This discretion exists from the start and does not legally expand over time. |
| Practical Effects in Prolonged Shutdowns (~40 Days) |
|
| Impoundment & Rescissions | Under the Impoundment Control Act (1974), President may propose deferrals or rescissions, but Congress must approve rescissions within 45 days. Shutdown provides political cover, not new legal power. |
| National Emergency Declaration | Not tied to shutdown duration. Can be invoked (e.g., 2019 border wall after 35-day shutdown) under National Emergencies Act to redirect funds (e.g., military construction). Requires separate justification. |
| 2025 Shutdown Context (~40–42 Days) | Longest in U.S. history (ended ~November 10–11, 2025). Administration used for:
|
| How Shutdown Ends | Requires Congress to pass appropriations legislation, which President signs or vetoes. No unilateral presidential termination authority. |
| Common Misconception | No 40-day threshold exists in law. Confusion may arise from debt ceiling crises or emergency declarations, which are separate mechanisms. |
| Summary | Prolonged shutdowns amplify political and practical influence but do not confer new legal powers. All actions remain constrained by existing statutes and subject to judicial review. |
I heckuva appreciate the effort you put into rounding up news stuff. That’s something I just flat don’t have time to do. And scanning is way easy so keep up the good work. I think the appropriate old phrase is “ non illegitmae carborundum”: Don’t let the bastnerds wear you down-————————Semper Fi on Vet’s day.
Thank you! I was wondering because I have never seen her before.

The next stage of the peace plan has proven problematic, as Hamas has so far refused to give up its weapons and control over Gaza.
Awar of words between Turkey and Israel has escalated as plans are in the works for an International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza that would remain for at least two years, under President Donald Trump’s peace plan.
Stage one of the peace plan occurred with the exchange of the 20 remaining live Israeli hostages being held by Hamas for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners being held in Israel, including about 250 life prisoners and about 1,700 who had been captured since the war started on October 7, 2023, with Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel. The attack resulted in approximately 1,200 deaths, mostly civilians, and 251 people taken hostage. The other part of stage one was the ceasefire, which has been fragile at best.
