Iran's Violation of sovereignty and security condemned by Kuwait and United Arab Emirates

Iranian missile fired at Americans intercepted, but wreckage still leaves injuries

Even as President Donald Trump is working with his negotiators, who are working with Iran's negotiators, on a plan to turn down the heat from Islamist hostilities in the Middle East, Iran has launched a missile that has injured several Americans.

The ballistic missile was aimed at a U.S. base in Kuwait, and although it was intercepted, the wreckage still rained down, injuring several people.

The New York Post report said the missile was "in retaliation for the American military knocking out Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz."

"This egregious ceasefire violation by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz," CENTCOM said in a social media statement.

"All drones were successfully intercepted by U.S. forces which also prevented a sixth drone launch from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas. U.S. Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and measured as we continue to defend our forces and interests from unjustified Iranian aggression."

The Policy That Made American Warriors Into Sitting Ducks

Hegseth Just Ended the Policy That Left Soldiers Defenseless for 35 Years

A gunman at Fort Stewart, Georgia opened fire on his fellow soldiers on August 6, 2025 – and every soldier who could stop him was unarmed. Six of them charged toward the gunfire anyway and brought him down with their bodies.

Now Pete Hegseth just signed a memo that changes what happens the next time someone opens fire on a US military installation.

For 35 years, a 1992 Pentagon directive effectively disarmed the U.S. military on its own soil.

Carrying a personal firearm on a U.S. military installation was prohibited. Military police could carry. Soldiers actively training could carry their service weapons. Everyone else – the sergeants, the logistics specialists, the medics going to work every morning – was disarmed the moment they walked through the gate.

Hegseth put it plainly. "Effectively, our bases across the country were gun-free zones," he said Thursday. "Unless you're training, or unless you are a military policeman, you couldn't carry. You couldn't bring your own firearm for your own personal protection onto post."

"Well," he added, "that's no longer."

FBI Investigates Mysterious Car-Sized Drones Over Trump's Golf Course and Military Base

Mysterious aerial activity has alarmed residents in northern New Jersey as unexplained flying objects hover over high-profile locations.

According to Daily Mail, the FBI has launched an investigation into reports of car-sized drones spotted over Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster and Picatinny Arsenal Military Base in Rockaway, featuring green and red lights on their wings.

The sightings began in mid-November, with multiple eyewitnesses describing objects larger than typical hobbyist drones.

Local residents report the aerial vehicles appear nightly and remain active for hours, causing significant concern throughout Morris County and surrounding areas.

China buying up strategic land in the U.S.

Retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert S. Spalding III

Report: China Owns Farmland Next to 19 Military Bases

China owns farmland near 19 U.S. military bases across the country, according to the New York Post, raising fears of espionage and sabotage by communist agents.

The bases adjacent to Chinese-owned land include some of the most strategically important installations, including Fort Liberty in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Fort Cavazos in Killeen, Texas, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California, and MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

"It is concerning due to the proximity to strategic locations," retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Robert S. Spalding III told the Post. His work focuses on U.S.-China relations.

"These locations can be used to set up intelligence collection sites and the owners can be influential in local politics as we have seen in the past," he said. "It is alarming we do not have laws on the books that would prevent the Chinese from buying property in the U.S."

I don't blame China. I do blame our lax laws in this country and those property owners selling to China for the almighty buck.
