Nuclear Strategy being rewritten

Pentagon Rethinks Tactical Nuclear Options

The Pentagon is rewriting its nuclear strategy to give the president more options short of all-out war. The review would raise the profile of smaller, shorter-range weapons for regional conflicts. Here is what we know.>br />
The facts--
  • Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby is leading a nuclear strategy review aimed at building more credible options for a president facing a regional nuclear threat.
  • The shift favors tactical weapons. It would place greater emphasis on shorter-range, lower-yield warheads rather than reaching first for heavy strategic arms.
  • It is a strategy review, not a formal posture review, a narrower vehicle that can move faster and commit the department to less.
The scenario is a regional attack. The strategy is built for a case in which China or Russia strikes a U.S. ally with a small weapon, forcing Washington to choose between doing nothing and escalating to a full strategic exchange.

Colby would de-emphasize damage limitation, the long-standing goal of a massive strike to destroy an adversary’s forces, without eliminating it.

Secret Pact revealed: AG's plotted lawfare against Trump

Trump Vindicated as Secret Pact Reveals 22 Democrat AGs Plotted Lawfare Before 2024 Election

President Trump’s warnings about coordinated Democratic lawfare received fresh support after a secret agreement revealed that at least 22 Democratic attorneys general were preparing for legal battles against a future Trump administration before the 2024 election.

The pact, later tied to what became known as the “Project for Federal Accountability,” preceded nearly 100 lawsuits challenging Trump’s administration after he returned to the White House.

According to The Center Square, the document outlined preparations for coordinated litigation involving a potential Trump administration. The agreement was reportedly signed months before Trump defeated his Democratic opponent.

State attorney generals kept it quiet. The coordinated effort later became known as the “Project for Federal Accountability” and later appeared in then-New Jersey Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy’s 2025 budget. Murphy never publicly mentioned the project while unveiling the budget.

Palestinian students sue Columbia University

After settling antisemitism claims, Columbia now faces lawsuit from Palestinian students

A new lawsuit accuses the university of biased disciplinary proceedings, surveillance of pro-Palestinian activists and creating a hostile environment after Oct. 7.

Filed in New York State Supreme Court, the complaint accuses the university of encouraging the mistreatment of Palestinian students by holding “unfair and biased disciplinary hearings” and creating a “hostile and unsafe environment” following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel that sparked university-wide protests and tensions on campus

The lawsuit alleges that the university “actively participated in and amplified the racially, ethnically, and politically motivated targeting of Palestinian students, staff, and faculty.”

The case is the latest in a string of legal battles born out of Columbia’s handling of campus protests.

In July 2025, the Ivy League university on New York’s Upper West Side agreed to pay $21 million to settle charges by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that alleged a hostile work environment for Jewish employees as a part of its federal resolution agreement with the Trump Administration.

Politicians Turn Blind Eye to National Security Threat as Terror-Linked Muslim Brotherhood Celebrates Election of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan

Abdul El-Sayed’s Michigan nomination is no ordinary left-wing upset. It is a national-security flare.

When the Muslim Brotherhood’s own media celebrates a U.S. Senate nominee as defeating “Zionists,” Americans should pay attention.

RAIR’s report ties El-Sayed’s rise to the Red-Green alliance: DSA socialism, CAIR-world networks, anti-Israel politics, Hasan Piker radicalism, and Democrat Party cowardice.

Ted Cruz put the question where it belongs: what happens when organizations with documented Brotherhood and Hamas-adjacent histories celebrate a candidate seeking access to the United States Senate? [Fair Foundation]

Thune stalling Trump's Agenda

John Thune Sends Senate Home for 37 Days, Schedules 11 Sessions to Block Recess Appointments

The Senate is heading into a 37-day recess. But the chamber will not simply close its doors and stay away from Washington.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has scheduled 11 pro forma sessions during the break. These brief sessions are expected to involve no votes, debates, or meaningful legislative work. Instead, a lone senator periodically opens the chamber, gavels in, and gavels out.

The Senate had its first session on Monday, August 10, at 10 a.m. Regular Senate business is set to resume on September 14.

The schedule includes the following pro forma sessions:

Monday, August 10, at 10:00 a.m.
Thursday, August 13, at 8:00 a.m.
Monday, August 17, at 1:30 p.m.
Thursday, August 20, at 11:30 a.m.
Monday, August 24, at 12:30 p.m.
Thursday, August 27, at 8:00 a.m.
Monday, August 31, at 11:30 a.m.
Tuesday, September 1, at 12:30 p.m.
Friday, September 4, at 10:00 a.m.
Tuesday, September 8, at 1:15 p.m.
Thursday, September 10, at 3:00 p.m.

The dates were confirmed by the official Senate floor schedule. On paper, the Senate is in recess. Procedurally, however, these brief meetings keep the chamber technically available to conduct business. Political parties use these brief meetings to stop the president from making temporary "recess appointments" to federal offices or judicial seats while Congress is away.

In other words, it's all bull and Trump views pro-forma blocks as a maneuver by the "swamp" to stall his agenda.

D.C. crime down big time after First Year of Crime Task Force

Trump's D.C. crime task force marks one year with more than 16,000 arrests

The Make D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force just hit its first anniversary with over 16,000 arrests, a record that backers call proof the federal crackdown is working and critics say came at enormous cost.

Attorney General Todd Blanche marked the milestone with a statement crediting President Trump's leadership for what he called "extraordinary results" in the nation's capital.

The task force, which launched August 11, 2025, brought together the Department of Justice, the U.S. Marshals Service, the National Guard, and local police in a sustained law enforcement surge across Washington, D.C. The numbers released to Fox News Digital ahead of the anniversary paint a picture of a city-wide operation that went far beyond routine policing.

Among those 16,000-plus arrests: 35 homicide suspects taken into custody, more than 100 known gang members arrested, over 3,200 narcotics arrests, and nearly 2,000 illegal guns pulled off the streets. The task force also located 25 missing children and returned them home.

Overall crime in Washington, D.C. dropped significantly, with recent annual metrics showing total violent crime decreasing by roughly 29% to 35% and property crime decreasing by about 23%, powered by steep declines in motor vehicle thefts and robberies.

DSA, a Communist Movement

I snuck into a SECRET DSA meeting - They don't want me to publish this...

Trump was right...

This reporter says, "I snuck into a meeting at The People’s Forum in New York City, the far-left organization at the core of the DSA’s rise to nationwide prominence and the beneficiary of millions of foreign dollars invested to topple the United States of America from within.

What I found inside clearly shows that the DSA is a communist movement as President Trump has claimed, despite AOC, Zohran Mamdani and other DSA candidates rejecting the label repeatedly in the media.

They are going to be very mad that I published this… Take a look:"

DNC out of cash and done with Kamala

Former DNC fundraiser warns major donors are done with Kamala Harris as party runs out of cash

A former Democratic National Committee fundraiser says big-dollar donors have no interest in backing Kamala Harris again, and that the party's lurch toward socialism and its refusal to hold anyone accountable for a billion-dollar losing campaign are driving contributors away for good.

Lindy Li, who once raised money for the DNC, appeared on "My View with Lara Trump" and laid out what she described as a full-blown financial crisis inside the Democratic Party. Li pointed to Harris's 2024 presidential campaign, which, combined with the pro-Harris Future Forward super PAC, burned through roughly $2.5 billion, and said donors who watched that money vanish without a victory have stopped returning the party's calls.

Federal Election Commission filings show Harris's principal campaign committee alone reported approximately $1.18 billion in disbursements during the 2023, 24 cycle. Li's broader $2.5 billion figure includes aligned super PAC spending.

Either way, the numbers represent one of the most expensive losing campaigns in American history, and Li says the fallout has left the DNC so cash-strapped it pledged its own headquarters building as collateral.

"There's been no accountability. The autopsy that they sent out was basically a sham, and they couldn't even stand behind it. They didn't even mention the fact that Kamala Harris is a terrible candidate."

That refusal to face facts, Li argued, is exactly why donors walked.

The War that goes on and on

Iran Again Refuses to Reopen Strait of Hormuz Unless US Meets Demands

Trump said on Aug. 9 that the United States was only semi-negotiating with Iran after the regime demanded multiple concessions.

On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that an agreement on the establishment of a new maritime route in the Strait of Hormuz had entered the “final stages.”

However, Araghchi reiterated the regime’s position that the new shipping lanes would not be opened until the United States agreed to Tehran’s demands.

On Aug. 8, Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr said the United States would need to comply with multiple demands for the Strait of Hormuz to reopen.

The demands included the United States ending its war with Iran, removing the naval blockade, withdrawing military troops, lifting sanctions on the regime, releasing blocked Iranian assets, paying damages caused by the war, and avoiding future threats against Iran.

“I see that Representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran are asking for compensation for the damage done to them during the last five month Military Conflict (started because, THEY WILL NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON), even though it was never mentioned in any of our negotiations or meetings!”wrote Trump.

In response to Tehran’s demands, Trump demanded compensation from Iran for all of the people killed and wounded by the regime’s roadside bombs and conflicts.

Trump added that the families of hundreds of thousands of innocent protesters killed by the regime over the past 50 years, including the 52,000 people he said were killed in the past five months, should receive compensation.

“I have instructed my representatives to put this firmly into any, and all, future negotiations,” Trump said.

Detailed analysis from the Atlantic Council and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) suggests that while Iran is far weaker militarily, it still holds leverage through its ability to disrupt global oil trade until a final deal is signed.

Socialism and antisemitism keep finding each other because both need scapegoats.

The Nazis wrapped state power, racial collectivism, and Jew-hatred into one murderous machine. The Soviet Union persecuted Jews under the language of class, loyalty, “rootless cosmopolitanism,” and anti-Zionism.

Today’s Red-Green left is walking the same poisoned road under softer branding: democratic socialism, anti-colonialism, Gaza activism, “equity,” and “human rights.”

Mike Huckabee is right to sound the alarm. Jew-hatred is not a side effect of the new left. It is becoming one of its organizing principles.{Luthmann]

Temporary Protected Status was always TEMPORARY - Now affirmed

New York City fires Haitian municipal workers after courts uphold TPS termination

Mayor Zohran Mamdani acknowledged that New York City dismissed dozens of Haitian employees who lost work authorization after federal courts cleared the Trump administration's termination of Temporary Protected Status, a program the government itself defines as never meant to be permanent.

Mamdani's office released a statement Friday confirming that the city reviewed the work authorization of Haitian TPS holders on its payroll and separated from those who could not show an alternative legal right to work. The mayor framed the move as compelled by federal law, not chosen by City Hall, a distinction that did little to soften the outcome for the workers who lost their jobs.

The dismissals followed two court decisions that, together, removed every remaining legal obstacle to the Trump administration's decision to end Haiti's TPS designation.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June in Mullin v. Doe that the administration could proceed, and on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes, a Biden appointee, lifted the stay that had kept the termination order on hold while courts reviewed it.

Mamdani also offered free legal help and said city staff would walk affected Haitians through their options.

Lifelong Democrat said he will support Rogers over DSA-backed Abdul El-Sayed

Former Jill Biden Press Secretary Abandons Party, Backs GOP Senate Candidate

Jill Biden’s former press secretary Julian Epstein is breaking with the Democratic Party and backing Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race.

The lifelong Democrat said he will support Rogers over DSA-backed Abdul El-Sayed after El-Sayed narrowly defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary.

“After decades of giving my all for Democratic House and Senate candidates, this fall I will support — and contribute to — Mike Rogers,” Epstein wrote. He added that he will do everything he can to convince other Democrats to follow.

Epstein said the Democratic Party is failing to confront the rise of Democratic Socialists of America candidates. He singled out Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman as an exception.

Operation changes at the FBI

FBI Director Kash Patel Announces Largest Bureau Overhaul in History

FBI Director Kash Patel says the bureau has undergone its fastest and largest overhaul in history, reshaping everything from technology and field operations to staffing and partnerships with local police.

After 14 months in charge, Patel says the changes are aimed at restoring public trust in an agency he believes had become overly bureaucratic and politically weaponized.

Everybody thinks the FBI is running around like ‘CSI,’ and we just weren’t,” he said.

The bureau also rebuilt its operational command center with real-time situational awareness and improved communications. The FBI is also integrating artificial intelligence into both classified and unclassified operations. Patel said some executive-level work that previously took hours can now be completed in about 20 minutes with AI added to Investigations.

Patel said roughly one-third of FBI employees had been located within 50 miles of Washington. He called that concentration “illogical.” The director moved approximately 1,500 employees out of Washington offices and into field operations across the country.

Deputy Defense's COO wants munitions acceleration

Pentagon Pushes Defense Companies to Boost Weapons Production After Concerns of Depleted Stocks

The Pentagon is pressing the U.S. defense industry to accelerate production of weapons to help replenish its diminished stockpile of munitions, including those depleted in the ongoing war with Iran.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement Saturday that the department was actively focused on boosting munitions acquisitions to provide “the weapons our warfighters need at the pace the threat demands.” He confirmed department efforts in the last week to significantly speed the process but insisted it was part of a broader modernization effort that predated the five-month-old conflict.

Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg wrote to industry leaders on Wednesday, giving them no more than 21 days to submit plans to “drive significantly faster, more aggressive delivery schedules and/or increased production for critical capabilities," according to a memo obtained by The Washington Post.

“Years-long development cycles are not acceptable,” Feinberg wrote. “We must dramatically accelerate our program schedules and expand our production capacity now.”
