Four weeks after Israel signed the US-brokered Abraham Accords with the UAE and Bahrain on 15 September 2020, Tel Aviv’s Higher Planning Council approved 4,948 new settler units in the occupied West Bank. No public fanfare. 

No tanks rolled in – just signatures authorizing another layer of occupation. The first wave of expansion advanced quietly, legitimized by the language of “peace.”

This sequencing deliberately reflects the core logic of Zionist expansion: Normalize when the region submits, colonize when the world blinks. 

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) has announced it will cease its operations early next year after losing its budget to US President Donald Trump’s cuts.

Operations will be gradually wound down over the next few months, the CPB announced on Friday. Founded in 1967, it has been responsible for stewarding over 1,500 public television and radio stations, including major US broadcasters PBS and NPR. 

“Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations,” CPB President and CEO Patricia Harrison said in a statement.

A Republican Party social media post on Friday aimed at promoting American manufacturing has drawn ridicule online after users identified the car featured in the image as a presumably Soviet-made Lada, not a product of the US auto industry.

The image, posted to the party’s official account on X, shows US President Donald Trump standing in front of a bright yellow sedan. The caption reads: “A Big Beautiful Bill will help bring back the great American car,” referencing legislation recently signed by Trump to extend tax cuts and promote domestic automobile production.

Russia Cripples NATO Armor—Australia's Abrams Rushed Into Growing Tank Graveyard!

Despite the catastrophic losses of the first batch of American Abrams tanks in Ukraine—many destroyed by Russian drones and precision strikes—Australia has now delivered a new wave of M1A1s, hoping to change the tide. With 49 units sent as part of a $245 million military aid package, the tanks have been upgraded to survive Eastern Europe's brutal battlefield. But with an 87% destruction rate and new footage showing their vulnerabilities, critics are asking: are these tanks just more targets, or can Ukraine finally use them right? The clock is ticking—and the world is watching.

LARRY PICKERING WAS A POPULAR RIGHT WING AUSTRALIAN CARTOONIST. HERE GUS MISCHIEF ONE OF HIS MOST INCISIVE TOON ABOUT THE STATE OF THE USA IN THE 1970s.

Senior members of the US Democratic Party and their benefactors are listed in the Epstein documents, X owner Elon Musk has claimed.

On Friday, Bloomberg reported that the FBI agents reviewing the files on the convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein had identified numerous references to US President Donald Trump, as well as dozens of other high-profile figures. The agency stressed that the appearance of any name “is not evidence of a crime or even a suggestion of wrongdoing.”

Responding to the report, one X user suggested that “when a Democrat becomes president, they’ll un-redact these names.”

“I do exorcisms now, all day, pretty much,” stated Dr. Michael Cocchini, the author of the book “The War Within,” during a gathering of ‘Christian warriors’ at the late country music star Kenny Rogers’s Copperline Ranch in Nashville on December 11. “I kind of gave up medicine; I felt it was the remnant of Babylonian witchcraft,” explained the medical doctor, further stating that “we see people get healed from schizophrenia … a one hour exorcism and they’ll never hear voices again.”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that Delhi's relationship with Moscow remains a "point of irritation" in India-US ties.

Rubio's statement comes a day after US President Donald Trump said he would impose 25% tariffs on Indian goods "plus an unspecified penalty", for buying Russian oil and weapons.

In an interview to Fox News Radio on Thursday, Rubio called India an "ally" and "strategic partner" but added that Delhi's purchase of Russian oil was hampering its relationship with Washington.

Russian oil made up 35% to 40% of India's oil imports in 2024 - up from 3% in 2021.

A reality of our day: The Israeli Government, with the full support of the United States, is conducting genocide in Gaza. Numerous other countries, including Australia, as well as a multitude of corporations worldwide are complicit.

Question: Why are Australian institutions so silent, so quiet, in the face of obvious and evident mass slaughter, another holocaust?

Donald Trump says US nuclear submarines are being repositioned in response to "provocative statements" from Russia's former president, Dmitry Medvedev.

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Washington time, the US president wrote: 

"Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that. 

The EU was not “feared enough” during negotiations with the US on the newly-signed trade agreement between the two, French President Emmanuel Macron has said, according to Euractiv. 

The agreement, concluded on Sunday during talks between US President Donald Trump and European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen  sets a 15% tariff on the majority of EU exports to the US. Brussels also committed to investing $600 billion in the US economy and buying $750 billion in American energy over the next three years. The US, however, will not face any EU tariffs on its exports.

“To be free, you have to be feared, and we haven’t been feared enough,” Macron told the Council of Ministers in Paris on Wednesday, according to two attendees present during the meeting.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump’s Attorney General trying to get in Trump’s good graces by breaking her silence after her botched cover up by attacking a federal judge who Trump despises.

===================

The documents unsealed by a court in January 2024 contained nearly 1,000 pages of evidence in the lawsuit filed by Giuffre, who died by suicide on April 26 at her home in Neergabby, Australia. 

US President Donald Trump has said Moscow and New Delhi “can take their dead economies down together.”Trump announced 25% tariffs on India on Wednesday, plus penalties for the South Asian nation’s economic ties with Russia.

In a message posted late Wednesday on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump wrote that the US has little trade with Russia and India.

”I don’t care what India does with Russia,” Trump said. “They can take their dead economies down together, for all I care. We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the world.” 

Records obtained by U.S. intelligence officials indicate the FBI would play a role in putting “more oil into the fire” of the Russia collusion hoax ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to newly declassified documents released Thursday.

US President Donald Trump has issued a warning to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, calling him a “failed”leader and cautioning him against combative rhetoric.

Medvedev, now serving as deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, had earlier dismissed the notion that Trump, or any other US official, could dictate Moscow’s stance on the Ukraine conflict. His comments came in response to American calls for Russia to negotiate peace or face tougher sanctions.

Trump fired back on Wednesday in a post on Truth Social, in which he vented frustration over resistance from Russia and India to his international trade agenda. He claimed both countries had “dead economies,” before singling out Medvedev.
