🚨 BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just voted to subpoena Pam Bondi over the Epstein investigation.
24-19. Five Republicans crossed over.
This is massive.
Pam Bondi runs the DOJ that withheld Epstein images showing death and physical abuse. That redacted the names of powerful clients. That was caught red handed hiding FBI witness interviews of a woman accusing Trump of sexually assaulting her as a minor.
And now five Republicans just voted to drag her in front of Congress under oath.
The walls are closing in.
She came in like a plot twist, handed out more combos than a fast-food menu, and left those two dudes questioning their life choices, with a side of humility.😏
India is delighted to welcome President Stubb of Finland. It is equally gladdening that he is the Chief Guest at this year’s Raisina Dialogue. Our talks today were wide-ranging. We discussed the strong potential in trade and commerce, especially after the India-EU Free Trade Agreement. Other sectors that featured in our discussions include cooperation in technology, infrastructure, defence, space, AI, semiconductors, education and more.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Now Virginia has a chance to help level the playing field. If you live in the Commonwealth, early voting begins March 6, and Election Day is on April 21. Vote YES.

A boat in international waters that is not running a national flag is categorized in international law the same way a pirate is. Such boats have absolutely no national or international protections, and you cannot commit a war crime against them.
A vessel in international waters is required under UNCLOS to sail under the flag of a specific nation. If it does not, it is legally considered a stateless vessel. A stateless vessel has no right to the protections normally afforded to ships under a national flag, including immunity from interference by other states.
UNCLOS Articles 92, 94, 110, and customary maritime law spell out the consequences clearly:
1. Stateless vessels have no sovereign protection. A flagged ship is an extension of its flag-state’s sovereignty. A stateless vessel is not. This matters because “war crimes” presuppose protected persons or protected property. A stateless vessel is legally unprotected.
2. Any state may stop, board, search, seize, or disable, a stateless vessel. UNCLOS Article 110 explicitly authorizes boarding and seizure. The law does not require states to risk their own personnel or assets while doing so. Disabling a vessel that refuses inspection, including firing on it, is legally permitted under both UNCLOS and long-established state practice.
3. War crimes require an armed conflict. You cannot commit a “war crime” outside an armed conflict. War crimes occur only within the context of international humanitarian law (IHL). Enforcing maritime law against a stateless vessel is a law enforcement action, not an IHL situation.
No armed conflict = no war crime possible.
4. Lethal force may be used when a vessel refuses lawful orders. The International Maritime Organization’s “Use of Force” guidance for maritime interdiction recognizes that disabling fire, even lethal force, is lawful when a vessel refuses lawful boarding, attempts to flee, poses a threat, or engages in illicit activities such as piracy or narcotics trafficking.
Once again: law enforcement rules apply, not IHL.
5. Sinking a stateless vessel is not prohibited by UNCLOS. UNCLOS permits seizure of a stateless vessel and leaves the means entirely to the enforcing state so long as necessity and proportionality are respected. If the vessel flees, attacks, or refuses lawful commands, sinking it is legally permissible. Many states routinely do this to drug-smuggling vessels (e.g., semi-submersibles) without it ever being treated as a war crime.
6. No flag = no jurisdictional shield. The entire reason international law requires ships to fly a flag is to prevent this exact situation. Flagless vessels are legally vulnerable by design.
Because a stateless vessel has no protected status, because UNCLOS authorizes interdiction of such vessels, because lethal force may be used in maritime law enforcement when necessary, and because war crimes require an armed conflict that is not present here, sinking an unflagged ship in international waters is not a war crime.
The playoff will continue to make everyone mad until we acknowledge that the conferences are way too big and we need to go back to geographical conferences of 12 teams each
The playoff committee punished Ohio State more for losing to the only other undefeated team in the country by 3 than it did 3-loss Alabama for getting crushed by Georgia. Wild.
It's December! If @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune are going to continue to allow treasonous members remain and continue to refuse to end the filibuster so that the entire America first agenda, the SAVE Act, election laws, defund the Taliban and restoration of the Smith-Mundt Act, then it's time for them to be removed as leadership in Congress.
We have no time to waste. We already had to endure 8 years of democrats completely controlling and destroying our country. Republicans should be working 24-7 to unite behind our President and save America!
🇺🇸🇪🇺 GLOBALISTS HIT PANIC BUTTON: TRUMP NUKES NATO, AND SAYS EU IS AT WAR AGAINST DEMOCRACY
Trump unleashed his 2025 National Security Strategy, a 33-page middle finger to globalist wet dreams, laser-focused on slamming the brakes on endless wars and flipping the bird to freeloading allies.
Core pillars? Buckle up:
- Peace Through Strength (deter China and Russia without dumb interventions),
- Economic Boom (tariffs to rocket the U.S. from $30T to $40T GDP by 2030s),
- Border Fortress (Monroe Doctrine 2.0 crushes cartels and migrants),
- Energy Domination (drill baby drill for cheap gas and jobs),
- Tech Supremacy (steal back IP from Beijing thieves).
Biggest gut-punches? Ditch the Middle East babysitting, let 'em invest in AI while the U.S. pivots to backyard brawls.
"Mutually advantageous" trade reset with China? Yeah, right, it's code for reciprocity or get wrecked.
Trump's crew torches Europe as a "horror show" of "unstable minority governments trampling democracy," calling out their Ukraine pipe dreams and demanding NATO ponies up 5% GDP on defense or kiss the alliance goodbye.
CSIS, that bipartisan swamp creature, is losing its mind:
"This declares WAR on European politics, leaders, and the EU, NATO's DOOMED!"
Hypocrites much? They've bled Americans dry for decades; now Trump's shifting burdens.
Dems wail "isolationism!" while Elon's cheering the industrial rebirth.
This ain't your grandpa's NSS, it's a chainsaw to the uniparty, vowing no more "permanent domination" fantasies.
Venezuela? He's eyeing a Maduro smackdown.
Taiwan? Allies, step up or sit down.
Takeaway? Trump's betting big on home-field wins: prosperity over policing, realism over rainbows.
Europe's quaking, and Beijing's sweating.

It’s about time politicians need to stop publishing misleading news, and we need smart, critical thinking people to continue to call it out. I appreciate it
ALEX JONES: At USF, Muslims hold mass prayers in the parking lot. A couple preachers eat bacon nearby and now are charged with FELONY HATE CRIMES for “OFFENDING” them with bacon.
Meanwhile, they commit fraud at record rates and openly plan takeover.
ENOUGH. They’re blood-sucking parasites locked in a death cult! Time to wake up and call it what it is!
