Trump gives Iran another Warning

Trump warns of strikes to infrastructure if Iran targets ships in Strait of Hormuz

President Trump on Wednesday threatened to authorize strikes against Iranian civilian infrastructure if the Islamic Republic continues to target vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

“From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The president’s maximalist rhetoric toward Tehran is not new, as he threatened to strike civilian infrastructure multiple times during the early months of the war. Trump warned Iran in April that a “whole civilization will die,” before backing off his threat to launch a wave of severe strikes.

International attacks on civilians and civilian objects that are not directly involved in hostilities are war crimes under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), which the U.S. is not a party to. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also announced a diplomatic effort last week to “dismantle” the ICC.

Shutdown Stalemate Fuels Funding Freeze

Trump halts $11 billion in Democratic city infrastructure funds over shutdown

The Trump administration has just pulled the plug on $11 billion in federal funds for infrastructure projects, primarily in Democrat-led cities, as the government shutdown drags on with no resolution in sight.

As reported by Fox News, the freeze, announced by Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought on Friday, targets projects in cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Baltimore, with Vought squarely blaming Democrats for forcing this drastic step through their refusal to negotiate an end to the shutdown.

This move comes on the heels of an earlier freeze of nearly $18 billion for major New York City projects like the Hudson Tunnel and Second Avenue Subway, signaling a broader strategy to rethink federal spending priorities during the budget impasse that began on Oct. 1.

Democrat Infrastructure projects coming to a Screeching Halt

$11B infrastructure halt rocks Democrat-led cities as government shutdown persists

Brace yourselves, folks—$11 billion in infrastructure dreams are grinding to a halt in Democrat-led strongholds, all thanks to a government shutdown that has partisan fingerprints all over it, as Breitbart reports.

As announced by White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought, this massive pause affects projects in cities like Boston, Baltimore, New York, and San Francisco, with the blame pinned squarely on what’s been dubbed the "Democrat shutdown."

Let’s rewind to early October, when Vought first dropped the bombshell that $18 billion in New York City projects alone were being shelved, including heavyweights like the Hudson Tunnel Project and the Second Avenue Subway.

While the Army Corps is sidelined, over $11 billion in so-called lower-priority projects across multiple cities are now on the chopping block, teetering on the edge of outright cancellation.

Trump freezes federal funds for New York City project

The Trump administration has frozen about $18 billion for two major infrastructure projects in New York City

pending a review to ensure that funding is not “flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles,” a top official said Wednesday.

"The funding is earmarked for the Hudson River Tunnel Project known as Gateway, and the Second Avenue Subway project, said Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought.

Vought’s announcement came on the first day of the shutdown of the U.S. government after Congress failed to pass stopgap funding bills that would have kept federal agencies and services operating at normal capacity for at least another seven weeks.

The Trump administration has blamed the two top Democrats in Congress—Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries—for that shutdown. Both Democrats are from New York City.

Maybe next time the state and its corrupt judges will think twice before trying to bankrupt a man for taking out a loan and repaying it with interest. Democrats played hardball. Now Donald John Trump is back on the mound.

As pitcher Mudcat Grant used to say, it is time for a little chin music. That means a pitch up and in and barely under the chin. He was tough. Beat Don Drysdale 8-2 in the first game of the World Series in 1965.

Pitcher Trump’s designated hitter is Vought, which provides Democrats with a new face to sling mud at. They have exhausted themselves and their supporters trying to demonize Trump. They need a surrogate to attack. JD Vance is too cuddly. With the beard, he looks like a Teddy bear—albeit the mean talking one from the Ted movies." [Luthmann News]

Telecom threats uncovered by the Secret Service in New York City

Secret Service thwarts telecom threat in NYC amid UN General Assembly

Imagine a city silenced, emergency lines dead, and chaos reigning as world leaders gather -- welcome to the near-miss nightmare the U.S. Secret Service just averted in New York City.

The Secret Service dismantled a network of more than 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards in the New York-area that were capable of crippling telecom systems and carrying out anonymous telephonic attacks, disrupting the threat before world leaders arrived for the UN General Assembly.

This wasn’t some low-budget hacker setup; it was a high-stakes operation with over 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards scattered across a 35-mile radius around U.N. headquarters. The sheer scale -- capable of blasting out 30 million messages a minute -- shows a level of sophistication that reeks of deep pockets and darker intentions. And with millions poured into equipment, this was no casual prank.

The discovery came as part of a wider probe into telecom threats aimed at senior U.S. officials, proving once again that our enemies don’t sleep. While no direct plot tied to the U.N. gathering has surfaced, the timing raises eyebrows. Could this be a mere coincidence, or are we dodging a bullet meant for a bigger target?

The Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations, the Department of Justice, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the NYPD, as well as other state and local law enforcement partners, provided valuable technical advice and assistance in support of this investigation.
This is an ongoing investigation.

Russian Cyber Attacks on our Infrastructure

FBI Warns of Russian Cyber Hackers Targeting Critical US Infrastructure

Russian hackers have been caught accessing the computer networks of critical U.S. infrastructure

For some of you out there who believe Putin and Russia is not our enemy:

The FBI warned the public on Aug. 20 that Russian hackers had breached computer systems at manufacturing plants, power grids, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure in the United States.

Hackers tied to Russia’s Federal Security Service were caught by the FBI using cyberattacks to get into computer networks targeting a wide range of critical infrastructure and other organizations in the United States and across the world.

By gaining access to the devices over the past year, the hackers were able to steal configuration files for thousands of networking devices associated with U.S. entities across critical infrastructure sectors, the FBI said.

The hackers also used the unauthorized access to look around and collect intelligence in their victims’ networks, which revealed their interest in protocols and applications in control systems.

Biden committed $1 billion in aid to rebuild infrastructure in African nations

Biden pledges $1 billion in disaster aid to Africa while North Carolina struggles post-hurricane

President Joe Biden announced a $1 billion investment in Africa during his visit to Angola on Tuesday, pledging support for rebuilding homes and infrastructure in nations affected by natural disasters.

The announcement highlights a troubling disconnect, as residents in Western North Carolina continue grappling with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene without sufficient federal assistance.

Key Details:

1. While attending a summit in Angola, Biden committed $1 billion to help African nations recover from natural disasters. The funding is framed as part of his administration’s push to strengthen U.S.-Africa relations and enhance global disaster resilience.
2. Hurricane Helene caused over $53 billion in damages in Western North Carolina, displacing thousands and leaving critical infrastructure in disrepair. Recovery has been slow, with Asheville residents only recently regaining access to reliable clean water and rebuilding efforts still ongoing.
3. Biden’s announcement has drawn attention to what some call a misalignment of priorities, as many in North Carolina struggle with unmet recovery needs. The administration’s decision to allocate significant funds abroad has led to calls for more focus on domestic disaster relief.

Chinese hackers targeting our freedoms and Congress stays silent

FBI Director Warning-- Chinese Hackers Are Preparing to “Physically Wreak Havoc” on US

Chinese hackers are developing the “ability to physically wreak havoc on our critical infrastructure at a time of its choosing,” FBI director Christopher Wray said this week.

He added that the hackers are waiting “for just the right moment to deal a devastating blow.”

The hacking campaign, known as Volt Typhoon, has embedded itself successfully in several American critical infrastructure companies that include telecommunications, energy and water, and others, he said.

Why is Congress sitting on their ass?

FBI Director Wray continues to warn lawmakers on Capitol Hill and they are doing nothing and Biden heads to the beach.

And the border, what a treasonous disgrace by this administration for allowing criminals into our country.

Marco Rubio and Rick Scott support critical funding for important water infrastructures

Rubio, Scott Urge Army Corps to Fund Critical Florida Projects

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) must submit a Work Plan for the Fiscal Year 2024 funds appropriated by Congress no later than May 8, 2024.

Those decisions will have long-term implications for communities around the country, especially in Florida.

U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Rick Scott (R-FL) sent a letter to United States Army for Civil Works Assistant Secretary Michael Connor detailing critical projects in Florida that merit new and continued funding.

Terrorist threats are on the Rise says FBI Director

Wray warns of increased terrorist threat, says U.S. is in a 'dangerous period'

FBI Director Christopher Wray said Tuesday the war between Israel and Hamas has led to a spike in threats against the United States, warning that "we are in a dangerous period" as various terrorist groups look to leverage the conflict for their own causes.

The threat of international terrorism in the U.S. had largely subsided in recent years, particularly since the defeat of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But senior American officials say Hamas' deadly Oct. 7 attack on Israel has created a new dynamic with dangerous implications at home and abroad.

On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray said that China's hackers are targeting American critical infrastructure, including water treatment plants, pipelines and the power grid, to be able to "wreak havoc" in the U.S. if Beijing ever decides to do so.

Testifying before the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, Wray also warned that there has been too little public attention on the threat that he says China's efforts pose to national security.

The hearing came the same day that the Justice Department announced that it had disrupted a Chinese state-sponsored hacking campaign that targeted American critical infrastructure.

After Buttigieg Caught in Taxpayer Scandal – Ted Cruz Drops the Hammer on Him

Over the Summer, Biden’s Department of Transportation announced it was accepting applications for the National Infrastructure Project Assistance, Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA), and Rural Surface Transportation Grant programs.

These programs received billions of tax dollars to rebuild America’s infrastructure. Biden himself has previously tried to take credit for “rebuilding” America’s roads, bridges, etc.

But the DOT’s head, Pete Buttigieg, revealed these billions will only be given to projects with a woke agenda. And now, Ted Cruz is firing back.

Biden's Vehicle KILL switch

Biden's Infrastructure Bill, Now Signed Into Law, Mandates "Vehicle Kill Switches" By 2026

The United States federal government is apparently in the process of trying to force automakers to install kill switches in their vehicles that authorities can use to shut down any newer vehicle.

The law comes as part of President Biden's infrastructure bill, which was recently signed into law, according to Yahoo. The government kill switch is - like all good thefts of civil liberties - being positioned as a "safety measure". The mandate needs to be put into effect by 2026, Muscle Cars & Trucks reported.

Which, of course, is code for some kind of device that is constantly on and monitoring your vehicle - and will likely have the power to shut down your vehicle anytime it wants.

"This is a privacy disaster in the making, and the fact that the provision made it through the Congress reveals — yet again — how little its members care about the privacy of their constituents," The Daily Caller wrote.

Breakdown of Biden's "Infrastructure" bill

A Clearer Breakdown of What This Infrastructure Bill Is Really Funding

"On November 5, 2021, Congress passed the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (H.R.3684) which was signed by the President on November 15. Yet another $1.2 trillion in nefarious “investments” to keep the money presses rolling.

Most media sources summarize the 2740-page bill by lumping everything into spending categories, while leaving out some of the most critical data that shows what they really intend to fund. This report breaks down several key data and funding points, while drawing attention to some of the more questionable allocations.

This Infrastructure Bill also reveals how the entire transportation system is going to have control over what everyone drives including vehicle-to-grid 5G technology with kill switches installed, when they drive, access to transportation, an integrated payment system including a per-mile driving fee, the evolution of autonomous vehicles, buses, truck lines, and Amtrak’s expansion to reduce vehicles on the road.

This bill boasts 27 pilot programs they want to document and roll into legislation for additional future control, and their “Build Back Better Bill” would provide the added funding for some of them, if that bill manages to get passed through the Senate."

Democrats' Socialist "Wish-List" at expense of America

The 7 Blood-Boiling Items Hidden Inside Biden's $3.5 Trillion Socialist Wish List

1. “Handouts” for the wealthy, and bailouts for failing establishment media organizations
2. A cloaked “Green New Deal” that would put small businesses under
3. Weaponizing the IRS
4. Targeting American energy independence through taxes
5. Dishonestly hiding a provision to offer amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants
6. Biden’s agenda would create a “slush fund” to be used for “socialist pet projects.”
7. Biden’s agenda would completely abandon rural Americans

So, now that they are getting closer to reducing this outlandish $3.5 trillion, what horrible tyrannical, socialistic, communistic items will still be left?
