[The Iranian Letter @TheIranianzg3z]

BREAKING: Iranian state media says the country has “no choice but to obtain the atomic bomb,” arguing that only a nuclear deterrent can remove the military option against Iran and strengthen its position in future negotiations.

The report also claims the shift is driven by recent U.S. threats against Iran, describing nuclear deterrence as essential for the country’s security and negotiating leverage.

“China wants to interface with the DSA,” one New York-based political activist told a meeting on October 8 last year of the China Working Group of the DSA’s International Committee, which helps set policy and advises leaders. “If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we’re golden,” says the person, whose name is redacted.

According to today’s scathing & explosive article, Dianna Russini - when getting pulled over for a ticket - would Facetime NFL head coaches to get out of the tickets

In one example, she asked the cop’s favorite team, then Facetimed the team’s head coach - he picked up… and Russini got out of the ticket.

Islamists, Socialists and guys with SS tattoos.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.
