Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.
The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.
Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.
The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.
Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.
The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.
The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.
This is your tax money.
It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.
We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.
Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

The Israeli military declares that it will return to fighting and launch large-scale military operations in the Gaza Strip.
Israel has not been satisfied with what it has done in terms of massacres, brutality, and genocide over three continuous years, but rather seeks to erase and eliminate Palestinians from existence on this land.
I have never in my life seen people as bloodthirsty as Israel and its people.
Haaretz reported that Israeli defense companies supplied Qatar and Saudi Arabia with advanced military systems despite the absence of official diplomatic relations or formal military cooperation between Israel and these countries.
The report stated that these transfers took place within international aviation and defense contracts. According to the documents, Qatar received the C MUSIC air defense system from Elbit Systems, designed to protect aircraft from missile threats and used on VIP aircraft.
The report also indicated that Israeli technology was integrated into Qatari F 15QA aircraft through contracts linked to Boeing.
The report further noted that Israeli companies supplied Qatar and Saudi Arabia with additional components for F 15 aircraft, including night vision systems and combat helmets, through indirect contracts with American companies.
These deliveries were part of broader modernization programs valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
Bill Pulte, Trump's unqualified acting director of national intelligence, has chosen as his chief of staff a GOP election lawyer who oversaw a poll watching program that included Jack Posobiec and other conservative conspiracy theorists.
The lawyer, Christina Norton, also appears to have no experience working in the intel community.
"It is horrifying."

October 7, 2023, early morning, Israel's police command center: "(Strike) Gaza. Break it all apart. Along with the soldiers who got abducted."
In the first hours of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, while conversing with Israel's Police Chief Kobi Shabtai, another senior officer calls to implement the Hannibal Directive, and destroy Gaza along with the Israeli captives. Minister Itamar Ben Gvir later arrives and orders to stop filming the meeting.

Multimillionaire career politician and landlord who lives in a taxpayer-funded 19 room mansion with maids, butlers, chauffeurs, free food, and an unlimited expense account: ‘Those elites won’t let you in their club! I’m the one looking out for you poors!’
I’ve seen some of the files the DOJ is hiding.
They include records contradicting Trump’s claim that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
Those redactions weren’t about protecting survivors. They were about protecting Trump from embarrassment.
End the cover-up.
Trump is throwing a hissy fit because Senate Republicans won’t nuke the filibuster and pass his stupid SAVE Act so now he’s punishing everyone by not signing the bipartisan Housing Bill. #SaveHousingFromTrump Rep Walkinshaw (D-VA) explains why the president needs to sign it.👇👇
Here’s an in-depth New York Times article on how Trump, his family, and his cronies are abusing their government power to line their pockets and using billions of your tax dollars to facilitate their grifting. Note that the $8.9 billion in federal money going to the 14 Trump and Lutnick companies is equal to the entire amount of federal assistance Western North Carolina has received for Hurricane Helene recovery.
Rampant corruption in plain sight . . . and Republicans see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.
Here’s an excerpt from the article and a free link to the entire piece:
“Ahead of the deal, the Trump administration approved preliminary applications for as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing for the American company, now called Kaz Resources, which plans to break ground on the project in rural Kazakhstan.
It was not only Mr. Trump and Mr. Lutnick who saw an opportunity.
Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration that has few precedents in American history.”
. . . . .
“One or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies that are actively working with the federal government on critical mining deals, including the Kazakhstan project, according to federal filings examined by The New York Times.
All 14 of these companies have either benefited directly from offers of financial assistance from the Trump administration, or have pending permit applications before the Commerce Department, which Mr. Lutnick oversees, The Times found. The total amount of federal funding that the Trump administration has provided or is considering providing to the companies exceeds $8.9 billion, according to public statements by the companies and federal government.”

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Palestine released a report documenting that Israel deliberately targeting Palestinian children, killing tens of thousands, alongside other war crimes.
No politician commented on this report, nor did the media cover it.
I offer my condolences to the entire Iranian nation and the Islamic Ummah on these days of mourning for the Household of God (pbut), and for the martyrdom of Tharallah, Imam Hussain, peace and blessings be upon him and his pure family, and his loyal companions.
@MarkJCarney@AnitaAnandMP You think maybe this is happening in Canada? IDK

Meanwhile in America…
An economics professor at Emory University is violently body-slammed to the ground and zip-tied by police for protesting the genocide in Gaza.
She keeps telling them:
“I am a professor. I am a professor of economics.”
This is what happens when you speak out in the “land of the free.”
Palantir, the US spytech firm accused of abetting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, enjoys lavish tax breaks on UK profits that are already derived from taxpayers’ money, an analysis by openDemocracy has found.
The company has been awarded at least £670m in UK public contracts in recent years. That includes a £330m deal to manage sensitive NHS data, signed despite the fact Palantir's co-founder Peter Thiel has expressed disdain for publicly funded healthcare.
Those contracts have helped make the UK Palantir’s second-largest market by revenue, with 2024 pre-tax profits of £25.3m.
But its effective UK tax rate that year was only £2m, or 8%, far lower than the norm of 25% paid by firms with profits above £250,000. In 2023 it was even less, at 4.7%, and in 2022 it was 4.2%.
For 2025, Companies House filings suggest Palantir paid less than £820,000 in cash tax in the UK, less than it paid in Korea, Japan, France and Germany.
The low rate was due a structured arrangement that limits the amount of profits recognised in the UK, as well as a rule that awards large tax breaks to firms that compensate their employees with stock instead of cash, openDemocracy reported.
The report said the nature of filings made it difficult to assess the total amount of tax breaks Palantir has received, but by 2022 alone it had accumulated £230m in tax relief from what it called “employee share acquisition relief”.
“When profitable companies are paying very little tax, especially when much of their revenues derive from taxpayers' money itself, then it's important to ask why,” Mike Lewis, director of TaxWatch, told openDemocracy.
“Is it because tax incentives and tax breaks are poorly targeted? Or is it because companies are shifting profits in ways that our tax system is supposed to counteract?”
