Miller’s Fury Over Low Deportation Numbers Hands Dems a Political Weapon

In contrast to the views of Miller and Trump, most people are not inherently opposed to unauthorized immigrants; their concern lies with flawed immigration systems. However, Miller and Trump perceive the presence of unauthorized immigrants as an existential threat, believing legalization wouldn’t mitigate this perceived danger. This perspective explains their prioritization of deportation, viewing it as crucial to national security and even the preservation of Western civilization. Consequently, significant law enforcement resources are diverted from combating serious crimes to deportation efforts, reflecting this fundamentally different assessment of national priorities.

Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old to Lead US Terror Prevention

Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention

The appointment of a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention is, to put it mildly, astonishing. The sheer youth and lack of relevant experience in this crucial national security role raise immediate and serious concerns. This isn’t a situation where someone with a related background has transitioned into a higher position; this is a complete leap from seemingly unrelated jobs to one of immense responsibility.

The individual’s previous experience, according to available information, includes an internship at the Heritage Foundation and work on Trump’s 2024 campaign.… Continue reading

Trump Issues Proclamation Banning Travel From 12 Countries

The new travel restrictions, targeting countries deemed high-risk due to insufficient vetting processes, high visa overstay rates, and inadequate information sharing, aim to prevent terrorist entry into the United States. These measures, justified by concerns about national security and exemplified by a recent attack in Colorado, are intended to enhance screening and vetting procedures. The administration asserts the restrictions are country-specific and mirror previous, successful efforts to protect the nation from foreign threats. The White House emphasized the need to prevent the type of attacks experienced in Europe from occurring within the US.

Trump Reinstates Travel Ban on 12 Countries

President Trump reinstated a travel ban affecting citizens from 12 countries, with additional restrictions on seven more, effective Monday. The ban, based on concerns about visa overstays and deficient vetting processes in the listed countries, includes Afghanistan and Haiti, despite criticism from some quarters. This action follows a January 20 executive order and builds upon a similar, legally challenged ban from Trump’s first term. The administration cites national security concerns as justification, contrasting this implementation with the chaotic rollout of the original ban.

Trump Receives Intelligence Briefings Less Than Weekly

President Trump’s engagement with the President’s Daily Brief (PDB) is significantly less frequent than his predecessors and even his own first term, according to multiple news outlets. While the White House maintains he remains “constantly apprised” of intelligence matters, reports indicate a reduced number of formal briefings, raising concerns about potential vulnerabilities. This contrasts with the 90 PDBs received by President Biden in his first year, highlighting a difference in approach to national security intelligence. Critics express alarm over this reduced engagement, while the White House defends the President’s access to information.

Chinese Researchers Accused of Smuggling Toxic Fungus: Terrorism or Scientific Mishap?

Yunqing Jian and Zunyong Liu, a scientist and her boyfriend, were arrested for smuggling *Fusarium graminearum*, a fungus capable of causing significant crop damage and posing a threat to human and animal health. The fungus, classified as a potential agroterrorism weapon, inflicts billions of dollars in economic losses annually. Jian allegedly received funding from the Chinese government for related research, raising national security concerns. The arrests highlight the potential for bioterrorism through the smuggling of dangerous pathogens.

UK Defence Boost: Addressing Russian Aggression, Not Trump’s Agenda

Britain’s recent defense boost is far more than a symbolic gesture aimed at Russia or even a subtle jab at Donald Trump; it’s a long-overdue correction of a decade of neglect. The previous government’s fiscal policies, characterized by austerity and a consistent lack of investment, have left the armed forces significantly weakened. This wasn’t simply a matter of misplaced priorities; it involved active mismanagement, with available funds seemingly disappearing without any commensurate improvements in capabilities. Years of underfunding have left a gaping hole in Britain’s defense posture, a situation exacerbated by Russia’s aggressive foreign policy and its particular animosity towards the UK.… Continue reading

UK to Build Up to 12 New Attack Submarines as Part of Major Defence Review

The UK government will build up to 12 new conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered attack submarines, replacing the current Astute class fleet from the late 2030s. This initiative, part of a larger £40bn defence review, also includes £15bn for the nuclear warhead programme and investments in munitions production, long-range weaponry, cyber capabilities, and military housing. The new submarine program is expected to create tens of thousands of jobs and apprenticeships. These actions aim to enhance the UK’s warfighting readiness and deter growing threats.

Ukraine Kept Trump in the Dark About Russia Attack: A Wise Decision?

Trump was not informed of the Ukrainian attack on Russia, and that’s probably a good thing. The reasons for excluding him from this sensitive information are numerous and stem from concerns about his trustworthiness and potential for jeopardizing the operation. His well-documented history of close ties to Russia and his propensity for impulsive pronouncements raise serious doubts about his ability to maintain operational security.

Trump was not informed, and this decision likely prevented the sensitive information from falling into Russian hands. Given his past actions and statements, it’s highly probable that he would have inadvertently or intentionally revealed the details to Putin.… Continue reading

Trump to Receive Fox News-Style Intel Briefings Due to Reading Difficulties

National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard is reportedly exploring methods to reform President Trump’s intelligence briefings, aiming to increase engagement and trust. Proposed changes include a video format mirroring Fox News, incorporating more graphics and animations, and shifting content focus towards topics like economics and trade. These adjustments stem from Trump’s limited engagement with the current briefing format and his preference for visual media. However, Gabbard’s office vehemently denies these reports.
