Filipino Authorities seized a Chinese fishing boat near Scarborough Shoal with over 500 critically endangered sea turtles illegally poached by Chinese fishermen.

What a hypocrite China is!

The 4-day joint maritime exercise, which utilized 5 ships and a multi-purpose helicopter, ended yesterday with participants calling it a success.
“This is the 15th Maritime Cooperative Activity, and we have gone a long way from the very first MCA that we conducted,” said Capt. John Percie Alcos, the commanding officer of BRP Diego Silang.
Philippine Coast Guard personnel also participated in the exercise.
“This activity enhances our ability to operate seamlessly with our other maritime partners,” according to BRP Melchora Aquino commanding officer LCDR Florentino Rimando Jr. | via Jun Veneracion/GMA News

Toyota has invented a water-powered car engine! 😁😁😁
In a move designed to shatter the global automotive industry, Toyota has just unveiled a water-powered hydrogen engine produced by electrolysis - and it only emits steam! No lithium. No charging stations. Nothing but pure revolution. With this bold choice, Toyota isn't just competing with electric cars - it's declaring the end of the battery era.
Let’s be absolutely clear: Iran came to the table because it ran out of options.
Its leadership was decimated.
Its military was crippled.
It’s economy under crushing pressure.
And it knew exactly what came next if it refused to negotiate.
That’s leverage.
As someone who served in Iraq and spent two years as a diplomatic liaison officer in Saudi Arabia, I can tell you this:
Iran is WEAKER today than it has been in decades.
The regime understood one thing: President Trump was prepared to do more.
That’s why they folded.
And to the armchair generals demanding weeks or months of more bombing, you’re missing the point.
The goal wasn’t endless war.
The goal was to neutralize the threat and secure peace from a position of strength.
The same President who delivered the Abraham Accords, moved the embassy to Jerusalem, and crippled Iran’s terror-financing network did it again.
President Trump forced a hostile regime to negotiate on America’s terms.
That’s NOT appeasement.
That’s deterrence.
That’s leadership.
That’s PEACE through STRENGTH.
