President Trump said Saturday that the U.S. will “run” Venezuela until the new government can be put in place after the American military removed dictator Nicolas Maduro from power.
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a proper and judicious transition,” Mr. Trump said. “We don’t want to be involved with someone else getting in, and we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years.”
Mr. Trump did not provide any details on how the U.S. would run Venezuela or what the time frame would be for a transition to a new government for the country.

Multiple people have reportedly been killed as protests erupt across Iran over the collapse of the national currency and increasingly high inflation rates.
According to Newsweek, at least six people were killed on Thursday as protesters continue to clash with security forces over economic woes such as increasing inflation rates, which have soared to 40%, along with the collapse of the nation’s currency.
The nationwide protests, now in their fifth day, are the largest in three years, with reports of fatalities in cities including Lordegan, Kuhdasht, and Isfahan.
Video footage from Lordegan shows large crowds gathering as shots can be heard. Local rights groups claimed that two protesters were killed by security forces, who allegedly opened fire on the demonstrators.
The regime’s response to the protests has taken a softer tone, allowing media coverage of the protests while state broadcasters appear sympathetic to the reasoning behind the outrage.
Previous crackdowns on protests have resulted in authorities shutting down communications and labeling protesters as foreign agents, demonstrating the shift in tone.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian publicly acknowledged the government’s responsibility for the nationwide outrage, proclaiming, “If people are dissatisfied, we are to blame—not America or anyone else.”
“Our failures are the result of poor management,” Pezeshkian added.
One local shopper in the Iranian suburb of Karaj told Iran International that “Khamenei has spent over four decades chasing war, missiles and chanting, ‘Death to this or that.’ Now, we can’t even afford rice.”
Meanwhile, American officials expressed support for Iranian protesters in a social media post, calling on Iranians to take a stand against Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
“The people of Iran want freedom. They have suffered at the hands of the Ayatollahs for too long. We stand with Iranians in the streets of Tehran and across the country as they protest a radical regime that has brought them nothing but economic downturn and war,” wrote U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Mike Waltz on Monday.
The nationwide protests come as President Donald Trump threatened to “knock the hell out of” Iran if it rebuilds its nuclear weapons or ballistic missile programs, after the United States “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear facilities in June.

This scenario seems highly likely in a major 21st-century conflict: An adversary destroys some of the commercial space satellites on which the U.S. military relies.
Will the U.S. government pick up the bill to replace those satellites, given their vital roles in national security? Will each company with such assets in orbit be treated the same by an across-the-board federal policy or a new law? Or will individual firms negotiate with the Pentagon their own terms of financial protection and wartime reimbursement, depending on how badly the government needs the specific capability that only they can provide?
Those questions are a priority right now inside the Defense Department and in the C-suites of leading American defense companies. In many ways, they represent a uniquely American problem. The thin lines between government and industry in communist China, for example, erase any uncertainty about who is ultimately responsible for defense-related assets in space.
But for the U.S., it’s a much more nuanced proposition. And it’s on track to become infinitely more complicated in the years to come, when the U.S. Space Force by its own estimation could rely heavily on privately owned and operated satellites for everything from command and control to surveillance and reconnaissance and from navigation to communications.
“It’s obviously a question that’s been under debate a lot. It’s a slippery slope,” Air Force Secretary Troy E. Meink told The Washington Times recently.
Mr. Meink said similar questions are at play in other arenas, such as undersea cables that transmit data across the world and are typically owned by leading telecommunications companies, big tech firms or other private actors.
Uncertainty about targets
But nowhere will the questions be more prevalent in space, given both the rapidly expanding importance of the domain to virtually everything else that the U.S. military does and the relatively small number of companies capable of doing the complex and expensive work to launch, operate and maintain cutting-edge satellites.
“The challenge has always been trying to go in and specifically underwrite or front any commercial services. It kind of just opens up that can of worms,” Mr. Meink said during a media roundtable at the recent Spacepower 2025 conference in Orlando, Florida.
“Do you have to do that for every commercial service the government uses? That’s untenable at some point,” the secretary said in response to questions from The Times. “But that doesn’t mean there’s not something that should be done and something that can be done. But that’s a very tricky, kind of policy-infused … question that we have to work our way through.”
For war planners, one of the most difficult aspects is figuring out exactly what could become a target, as analysts say that a wide swath of space-related infrastructure could be viewed as de facto pieces of the American war machine, especially by an enemy.
“In a future conflict, other U.S. space operators may find themselves in an adversary’s crosshairs because of the possibility that they might provide service to the U.S. government, even if they were not currently doing so,” Clayton Swope, deputy director of the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, wrote in a recent in-depth analysis of how the U.S. government can protect commercial satellites.
The threats to those private satellites are no longer theoretical.

Jose Ceballos never attained U.S. citizenship, yet voting records show he managed to cast ballots in at least two dozen elections dating back to 2006.
He may have been voting before that, but that is as far back as the Kansas secretary of state’s records go.
That Mr. Ceballos was serving as mayor of Coldwater, a town near the Oklahoma border, makes the case all the more astonishing.
His case arose just weeks after Ian Roberts, then the superintendent of public schools in Des Moines, Iowa, was arrested as an illegal immigrant. It quickly became clear that he had been registered to vote in Maryland for years despite having worked outside the state since at least 2015. He last re-registered to vote in Maryland a year after that, in December 2016.
They were the marquee examples of illegal voting, but by no means the only ones in 2025.
Federal authorities brought voting cases against at least 10 other immigrants this year, accusing them of casting ballots despite not having attained U.S. citizenship.
That included Carlos Jose Abreu, sentenced to 65 months in prison for illegal voting, aggravated identity theft and firearms violations, and Haoxiang Gao, who authorities said voted in 2024 and then called election officials trying to recant his vote. He then fled the U.S. to avoid prosecution.
It also includes Denis Bouchard, a Canadian who prosecutors said has voted in elections in North Carolina for more than 20 years despite never attaining citizenship.
It includes Svitlana Demydenko and her daughter Yelyzaveta, Ukrainian immigrants who are accused of voting in Florida in 2024 despite not being citizens. They have entered not guilty pleas.
The White House’s Department of Government Efficiency was credited with helping bring several of the cases to light.
The advent of the Trump administration marked a major shift in the issue. The Department of Homeland Security, which had been previously accused of hindering states that wanted to run their voter registration rolls through government databases, moved to streamline the process and reduce fees.

“The President does not decide what the Navy does. These unelected denizens of the unaccountable 4th branch of government do.”
Dec 27, 2025
Many years ago, while I was still serving undercover in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), I attended a series of briefings given to Chiefs of Station before they went out to take over their posts. There were maybe twenty of us in the room, all new Chiefs getting ready to head out into the field.
The Director of CIA came and spoke to us one day just before we were to break for lunch. He gave a very powerful and very direct talk regarding what he expected of us. The gist of it was that he wanted us to be aggressive, take risks, and swing for the fences. He never wanted to hear about anyone being risk-averse or failing to push the envelope. He wanted us to think big.
It was an inspiring address. Then the Director left the room. We all stood up to head out for lunch. The chief of our area division got up quickly and told us to sit back down. Then he went outside to make sure the Director was really gone before he came back into the room.
TRUMPS BIGGEST WARSHIP DREAM GETS CANCELLED BY THE NAVY
Our area division chief then told us in no uncertain terms to disregard everything we had just been told. He did not care what the Director, his boss, thought. Our marching orders remained the same, and he had no interest in anyone “pushing the envelope” or “swinging for the fences”. Caution was the word of the day.
The room went silent. We went to lunch demoralized and certain that nothing would ever change.
Right now, all over Washington, I have to think a great many good men and women are experiencing the same emotion. They were momentarily elated when Trump took office. Now they see that inside the key federal agencies, nothing has really changed.
Take a look at what just happened when Trump announced the launch of a new class of “battleships”. His words were clear and unmistakable. We were going to build the largest such vessels since the Second World War, and we were going to do it in record time. The President estimated that the lead ship of the class would be operational in two and one-half years.
Now, when a conflict arises, you’re going to ask us two questions: where is the carrier, and where is the battleship?”

Annual report details aggressive new nuclear attack posture, hypersonic missile development and aircraft carrier construction
By Bill Gertz December 24, 2025
The Chinese military is continuing a massive, decades-long arms buildup, including a shift in nuclear force doctrine that increases the danger of a direct attack on the U.S., according to the Pentagon’s annual China military power report.
“China’s historic military buildup has made the U.S. homeland increasingly vulnerable,” the report states. “China maintains a large and growing arsenal of nuclear, maritime, conventional long-range strike, cyber and space capabilities able to directly threaten Americans’ security,” the report says.
The annual assessment, made public Tuesday, warns that the People’s Liberation Army continues to progress toward its 2027 modernization goals that include preparations for using force to annex Taiwan and threatening nuclear strikes on the United States to prevent American forces from intervening in a defense of the self-ruled island

A federal judge ruled that California schools can’t conceal students’ different-sex gender identities from their families, delivering a smackdown of the hotly contested state policy in a landmark victory for parental-rights advocates.
U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez permanently blocked policies backed by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and other state officials requiring schools to keep parents out of the loop on their children’s gender transitions.
The judge also ruled that schools don’t need student authorization to disclose different-sex names and pronouns.

We must never forget how we’ve been lied to over and over by the legacy media!!!
The media has lied about nearly every major cultural flashpoint in recent memory—from the “Hands up, don’t shoot” narrative in Ferguson, to the Russia Hoax, to the “very fine people” lie in Charlottesville, to Hunter Biden’s laptop. These weren’t honest mistakes, they were coordinated efforts to shape elections, fuel unrest, and divided a nation. And many Americans still believe them today.
In this 5-Minute Video from 2023, Tim Pool walks us through the media’s most egregious deceptions—lies that the Obama DOJ, court records, and direct transcripts have all debunked. So why are these stories still treated as truth? Why do institutions keep doubling down? Our culture rewards emotions over evidence, feeling over fact. But informed citizens must think for themselves. This isn’t about race or politics—it’s about truth. If we can’t call out lies, what kind of country are we becoming? Watch and decide for yourself.
Kelsey Grammer is one of those rare Hollywood types who is very open about the fact that he is a conservative Republican and Trump supporter. There are a few others but they are definitely a minority in the entertainment industry.
Grammer recently appeared on Tomi Lahren’s podcast and made a point about where we are as a country and where things are headed politically. It is something that every Trump supporter needs to hear.
Grammer goes over some examples of recent left wing extremism and then reminds everyone that while Trump has absorbed everything that the left has thrown at him, he is no longer standing ‘in the gap’ as Grammer puts it. The left is coming after all of us and at the end of the day, we are all basically on our own as people. It’s not a criticism of Trump as much as it is just common sense.

The Board of the Kennedy Center has unanimously voted to rename the Kennedy Center the ‘Trump-Kennedy Center’ to honor President Donald Trump’s work to revitalize the venue.
On Thursday morning, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took to social media to announce the name change.
“I have just been informed that the highly respected Board of the Kennedy Center, some of the most successful people from all parts of the world, have just voted unanimously to rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump-Kennedy Center, because of the unbelievable work President Trump has done over the last year in saving the building,” she wrote. “Not only from the standpoint of its reconstruction, but also financially, and its reputation.”
