-International Events-

1. Trump Threatens 5% Tariff and $12B Bailout for Farmers Amid Tensions with Mexico Over Water Disputes: Donald Trump has escalated his standoff with Mexico by threatening a 5% tariff on imports and a $12 billion bailout for American farmers, accusing Mexico of violating decades-old water-sharing obligations under the 1944 US–Mexico Water Treaty. He added that Mexico still has to deliver 800,000 acre-feet of water for failing to comply over the past five years, and needs at least 200,000 acre-feet of water before 31st December. 'That is why I have authorized documentation to impose a 5% Tariff on Mexico if this water isn't released, IMMEDIATELY.', he wrote on TRUTH social. (IBTimes)

2. The widening rift between Trump and Europe is a gift to Putin: On Tuesday, Trump doubled down on his administration’s criticism of Europe, saying in a newly published interview with Politico that European nations were “weak” and “decaying” because of their immigration policies. The jubilation likely expressed in Moscow over Washington’s put-downs of Europe is reminiscent of the glee over Trump and Vance’s public scolding of Zelensky in the Oval Office later that month. But there appears to be a deliberate Russian strategy here. Russian policy has been clearly aimed at chipping away European support for Ukraine, while seizing an opportunity to sow doubt about the viability of the NATO alliance. (CNN) (AC-This article is similar in tone to the 'Russian collusion' narratives from 2016. The saber-rattling by the EU over Russia is louder than ever, making reasoning observers wondering why Europeans are full of dread of an impending Russian invasion. The geopolitical atmosphere concerning Europe, the US and Russia is thick with maneuver and 5th Gen warfare.)

-US Events-

1. Democrats flip Miami mayor’s office, winning control for first time in nearly 30 years: Democrat Eileen Higgins won Miami's mayoral runoff, routing Trump-backed Emilio Gonzalez 59% to 40% and ending nearly 30 years of Republican control. (GroundNews)

2. Zohran Mamdani Picks Convicted Armed Robber to Lead Public Safety Transition Team: New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped Mysonne Linen, formerly incarcerated rapper, to lead his City Hall transition team on public safety. (Breitbart)

3. Suspect in deadly shooting on Kentucky State University’s campus identified: One person is dead and another is injured after a shooting on Kentucky State University’s campus Tuesday. Frankfort Police report that a suspect is in custody and is not a KSU student.The suspect has been identified as 48-year-old Jacob Lee Bard of Evansville, Indiana. He is charged with murder and first-degree assault. (WKYT)

-Regulatory and Legal-

1. OCC Confirms Banks Can Act as Intermediaries in Crypto Transactions: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has clarified that national banks may engage in “riskless principal” transactions involving crypto-assets. (BitcoinMag)

-CBDCs/World Currencies/Strategic Reserves-

1. U.S. Lawmaker Pushes CBDC Ban Into NDAA After ‘Broken Promises’ Claim: Rep, Keith Self revealed that he has formally submitted an amendment to add a ban on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The amendment aims to stop the Federal Reserve from creating, testing, or supporting any digital asset that works like a CBDC, even under a different name. However, the proposal also blocks Federal Reserve banks from offering accounts or financial services directly to individuals. (CoinPedia)

-Institutional Concerns-

1. Fidelity Bitcoin ETF Sees $199M Inflow: Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF recorded a $199 million net inflow, leading spot Bitcoin ETFs. (CoinGecko)

2. Coinbase Drives a New Institutional Milestone With PNC Bitcoin Access: Coinbase’s expanded partnership with PNC Bank opens direct bitcoin access inside PNC’s private-banking platform, signaling a pivotal step toward mainstream digital-asset integration as wealth clients seek regulated, seamless exposure. (BitcoinCom)

-Economic Indicators-

1. US Treasury Yields at 3-Month High: The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note hovered near 4.2% on Wednesday, its highest level in three months, as markets braced for the FOMC’s policy decision later in the day. While the Fed is widely expected to deliver a third consecutive 25 bps rate cut, attention is firmly on updated projections and guidance for 2026. (TradingEconomics)

-Security Concerns-

NSTR

-Technology and Science-

1. Modern Warfare: Lessons From Ukraine: The future of war is looking more science-fiction by the day. In Ukraine, each side uses tens of thousands of these drones per month. They’re so common that 12 gauge shotguns have become essential kit for soldiers on the front-lines. It turns out that birdshot is among the most effective counters. It’s not just flying drones. Unmanned ground combat vehicles (UGVs) are also coming into play. For now, these ground-based drones are crude with limited range and ammunition. But within a few years they will evolve into intimidating juggernauts roaming the battlefield. In the near future tanks and artillery will also be unmanned. Drones and missiles are already becoming capable of autonomous action. But both sides are understandably secretive about their capabilities. The bottom line is that the hunter-killer robots from The Terminator are moving from sci-fi to reality. (ZeroHedge) (AC-These technological advancements are not just limited to the battlefield, but also to semi-permissive and even permissive environments and localized conflicts. As veterans of recent conflicts, the rapid evolution of tactics and strategy disassociate us from the modern battlefields. For example, are snipers and recon units even relevant anymore? It is significantly a new world of combat, only 3+ years in the making.)

2. SpaceX Plans Record-Breaking Public Offering, Raising Billions for Starlink Expansion: SpaceX, the aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, is preparing for a major public offering next year that could raise more than $25 billion and value the company at over $1 trillion. The initial public offering may take place around June or July. (TechTimes)

I was considering joining my local trap shooting club just for fun but now it seems like a mandatory skill to have

Should probably get a couple drones too
