Trump to Daily Caller:
"Israel is amazing, I have good support from Israel. Look, nobody has done more for Israel than I have, including the recent attacks with Iran, wiping that thing out. We, that plane, wiped them out like nobody ever saw before."
The Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson (DDG-102) was recently seen docked at the Amador International Cruise Terminal in Panama City, on the Pacific side of the Panama Canal. The Sampson is one of three destroyers deployed by the U.S. Navy to the southern Caribbean Sea as part of a counter-narcotics task force operating off the coast of Venezuela.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry: Israel’s failure to respond to the ceasefire agreement proposed by Egypt and Qatar in Gaza reflects its unwillingness to ease the situation.
US Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent:
“Putin, since the meeting in Anchorage, since the phone call, when the European leaders and Zelensky were at the White House the following Monday, has done the opposite of what he indicated he wanted to do; in fact, he has, in a despicable manner, increased the bombing campaign.
So I think with Trump, all options are on the table, and I think we'll be examining those very closely this week.”

Yes, Venezuela has one of the most advanced air defense networks in Latin America, built largely with Russian hardware. But its real effectiveness in a high-end conflict is debated.
The naval force deployed by the U.S. off the Venezuelan coast is clearly insufficient for a large-scale invasion— in 1989, the invasion of Panama, a much smaller country with less military strength, required nearly 28,000 Marines, compared to fewer than 4,000 now in the Caribbean—but it is more than sufficient for precision bombing operations, with approximately 140 Tomahawk missiles ready for immediate launch. Given the quality of Venezuelan air defenses, it is estimated that over 90% of these missiles would hit their targets.
It’s worth noting that this is not an isolated incident; GPS jamming and spoofing have become recurrent in Eastern Europe, affecting even ships and drones. The EU itself acknowledges an escalation of these attacks while increasing investments in defense and technology to counter these threats.
Bulgarian officials suspect Russian jamming.
Kremlin denies.
Welcome to 21st-century hybrid warfare.
This type of attack is not sufficient to bring down an aircraft, but depending on the timing of the attack—for example, if it occurs during critical flight phases—it can cause significant disruptions and endanger flight safety.
Venezuelan President Maduro claimed that eight warships, equipped with 1,200 missiles and accompanied by a nuclear submarine, are positioned against Venezuela.
In a message to Trump, Maduro warned: "Be cautious, as Marco Rubio seeks to embroil you in a violent conflict in South America, the Caribbean, and Venezuela, aiming to tarnish your legacy with a massacre of the Venezuelan people, leaving your name stained for centuries."
In an Al Arabiya interview, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas affirmed that Saudi Arabia steadfastly upholds its support for Palestine, prioritizing the establishment of a Palestinian state above all other interests.
According to Maar News, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told Iran’s president that he views Tehran’s nuclear program as peaceful and supports its right to continue it. He also expressed worry about the consequences of reinstating snapback sanctions. In reply, Iran’s president thanked Guterres for opposing Israel’s actions in Gaza and urged him to adopt a stronger stance against Israel.
The Houthis have released a list of 12 senior officials killed in Thursday’s Israeli strike on Sanaa, including the Prime Minister, Cabinet Secretary, Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister, and Ministers of Economy, Foreign Affairs, Agriculture, Tourism, Sports, Labor, Justice, Energy, and Information. Israel claims military leaders were also targeted, but the Houthis have not yet disclosed their names.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump will hold his second meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and leaders from the “Coalition of the Willing” in Paris on Thursday, September 4. The meeting will focus on security guarantees for Ukraine, with expected attendees including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
France and Germany have launched a new initiative to create a European early-warning system, called JEWEL, independent of NATO, NORAD, and U.S. systems. It will feature space-based satellite missile early-warning and defense capabilities under the “ODIN’S EYE I/II Project” and ground-based radars across Europe. Both nations have invited other EU and NATO countries to join the project.
The U.S. Army Pacific announced that the 3rd Multi-Domain Task Force (3rd MDTF) will deploy its "Typhon" Strategic Mid-range Fires System (SMRF) to Japan for the first time during the Resolute Dragon 25 exercise, set for September 11-25. This deployment will place the system's Tomahawk Land Attack Cruise Missiles (TLAM), with a range exceeding 1,000 miles, and SM-6 missiles, with a range of up to 300 miles, within striking distance of targets in China, North Korea, and Russia. The move has prompted responses from the Chinese and Russian Defense Ministries, urging Japan to adhere to its post-World War II "commitments to peace."
A 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck Afghanistan's eastern provinces, killing at least 300 people and injuring 500 others, according to a Pakistani official cited by BNO News on Monday morning.

the buildup is a strong signal of pressure, but not necessarily an invasion plan.
The U.S. government has updated the chart of ships off the Venezuelan coast. There are now 8 surface vessels and 1 nuclear submarine.
When are you going to release more shirts?
The Palestinians respond:
“Regarding the official Israeli announcement about the assassination of our beloved Abu Ubaidah, we await the farewell statement from the resistance. The enemy’s notices mean nothing to us.
Remember that before him, great leaders arose — Al-Sinwar, Al-Haniyeh, Al-Daouri, Marwan Issa, Ayman Nofal, Ahmad Al-Jandour, and other senior figures — and the march of the resistance has continued.
Recall that Abu Ubaidah was the one who always ended his words with the phrase: “It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.”
Know that we are a people who, if deprived of one leader, another rises. Loyalty to our leaders is not expressed in grief but in walking their path and completing their mission.”
I reported what the IDF stated. You may not like it, but it’s part of the news.
Trump’s “Gaza Riviera” Proposal
President Trump has outlined a sweeping plan to remake Gaza, envisioning its transformation from a war-torn territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East”—complete with resorts, smart cities, and a high-tech economy. Under the proposal, the United States would administer Gaza for at least a decade, direct reconstruction efforts, and implement a population strategy aimed at relocating Palestinians abroad.
1. U.S. Administrative Control
• Duration: 10–15 years of U.S. trusteeship.
• Responsibilities: Oversee the removal of 50 million+ tons of rubble, disposal of unexploded ordnance, and cleanup of environmental hazards.
• Authority: Trump initially said the U.S. would “own Gaza,” though aides later clarified there would be no commitment of American troops or direct funding.
2. Palestinian Relocation
• Mechanism: Financial incentives offered to Palestinians to “voluntarily” relocate to Egypt, Jordan, or other regions such as Libya, Sudan, Syria, or Somalia’s Puntland/Somaliland.
• Permanence: Trump at first described relocation as permanent, ruling out return, but aides later softened this to “temporary.”
• Destinations: Trump floated the creation of “six safe communities” or a “beautiful new land,” though Egypt and Jordan have publicly rejected hosting displaced Palestinians.
3. Redevelopment Plan
• Economic Vision: Develop resorts, harbors, an airport, and high-tech industries.
• Infrastructure: Rebuild Gaza’s devastated water, sanitation, and agriculture systems, while assessing tunnel damage left by Hamas.
• Timeline: 10–15 years, possibly 25 given the destruction (with 90% of Gaza’s population displaced and half its infrastructure destroyed).
• Population: Trump has alternated between suggesting Gaza would welcome “the world’s people” and asserting Palestinians would not return.
4. Security and Governance
• Hamas Factor: Assumes Hamas has been eliminated, but offers no clear strategy for ensuring long-term security.
• Military Role: Trump initially raised the idea of U.S. troops “if necessary,” then walked it back. Security arrangements remain undefined.
• Humanitarian Framing: Trump argues Palestinians live in “hell” and would benefit from relocation to “safe, beautiful communities.”
• Economic Pitch: He promises “unlimited jobs and housing,” portraying Gaza’s coast as a future global destination.
Israel has begun releasing additional footage of the massacre carried out by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023. In this clip, Palestinians can be seen throwing a grenade into the room where Gil Ta’assa was hiding with his two children. He threw himself onto the grenade, sacrificing his life to save his family.
Ahmed Wadia, the Palestinian terrorist shown in the video throwing the grenade, was successfully eliminated by the Israel Defense Forces in September 2024.

On Thursday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump ordered the Department of Homeland Security to revoke Secret Service protection and all other “security-related measures” for Vice President Kamala Harris. While former vice presidents typically receive six months of protection after leaving office, Harris’s detail had been extended to one year by an executive directive from President Joe Biden, citing threats made against her during and after the 2024 election.
Odds of a 2025 meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin have sharply declined on Polymarket’s betting exchange. Once above 70% following Putin’s meeting with U.S. President Donald J. Trump, the probability has now fallen to just 25%. Analysts expect the figure to drop further in the wake of last night’s ballistic missile strike on Kyiv, as several European leaders have publicly ruled out the possibility of such a meeting.
Diplomatic sources revealed that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in negotiations with Mexico, Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, and France to join forces in a military deployment in the Caribbean against drug trafficking linked to the Chavista regime in Venezuela, according to a report by the newspaper ABC Madrid.
No, but there are a lot of bots that help. It’s only when something really big happens that the local people start posting about it, and that’s really good. When those protests were happening in Venezuela, there was a Nostriche who was posting everything in real time.
Within the past hour, the Israeli Air Force conducted precision airstrikes on multiple residential buildings in Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, reportedly targeting homes of senior officials from the Iranian-backed Houthi movement. Israel stated that the IDF will continue taking decisive action against the Houthis, while escalating operations against Hamas in Gaza, vowing to eliminate any threat to Israeli citizens.
The British Council Office was left nearly destroyed in last night’s Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv.
In response, the U.K. Foreign Ministry has summoned the Russian Ambassador, while Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused President Vladimir Putin of “sabotaging peace” in ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Tuesday that he has ordered the expulsion of Iran’s Ambassador to Australia, Ahmad Sadeghi, and the closure of Australia’s embassy in Tehran. The move follows revelations from the Australian Security Intelligence Organization (ASIO), which uncovered “credible intelligence” linking Iran to two major antisemitic attacks in the country last year: the firebombing of Melbourne’s Adass Israel Synagogue and Lewis’ Continental Kitchen in Sydney. Albanese also confirmed that Australia will move to designate Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a “foreign terrorist organization.”
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook issued a statement through her attorneys in response to President Trump’s attempt to remove her from the Board of Governors.
“President Trump claims to have fired me ‘for cause’ when no such cause exists under the law, and he lacks the authority to do so. I will not resign. I will continue fulfilling my responsibilities to support the American economy, as I have since 2022.”
Trump’s justification for Cook’s removal was a Justice Department investigation launched last week into alleged mortgage fraud, referred by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who has also forwarded complaints targeting several of the president’s political opponents.
Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, posted an image of Ayatollah Kahembei controlling Lula.
A Chinese defense firm has recently revealed several mobile mock-ups of the U.S.-made M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), intended for use by the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in upcoming military exercises. The replicas were painted in a camouflage scheme resembling that of the Taiwanese Army, which received multiple HIMARS units from the United States in November 2024.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump today signed an Executive Order that he claims imposes a one-year prison sentence for burning the American flag—an action directly protected under the First Amendment, as affirmed in Texas v. Johnson. Despite Trump’s assertion, the order itself makes no mention of prison time. Instead, it directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to review cases of flag burning to determine whether individuals can be charged with other offenses, such as disturbing the peace or violating environmental laws, effectively attempting to bypass First Amendment protections.
