"I do not understand the constitution. I have not had sufficient time to read that as of yet. I don't understand what standing orders are, what they're made up of, nor do I understand what an amendment is."

Exclusive: Earlier this spring, a mysterious explosion blew up a car carrying an alleged cartel operative in broad daylight, on one of Mexico’s busiest highways, just outside of its capital city.

It was a targeted assassination facilitated by CIA ops officers on the ground.

Since last year, CIA operatives inside Mexico have directly participated in deadly attacks on several, mostly mid-level cartel members—a lethal campaign that's gone largely unnoticed.

@wallaceme I see the late night editorial meeting in the boozer went well for the NS.

[Brian Ging @brianging]

@CoachMeron In short no. A win is a win but it was not a great performance; zero composure and stability in handling the lead. It could have easily gone very badly wrong.

@MrEli_x Are you high?

@CoachMeron Sorry to be cynical, but this just reeks of stubbornness. It plays into all the claims that he just favours the old school players, regardless of situation and form.

"The U.S. military has introduced Ukrainian counter-drone technology in recent weeks at a key U.S. air base in Saudi Arabia, according to five people with knowledge of the matter, as it seeks to stem attacks that have destroyed aircraft and buildings, and killed at least one service member.

The deployment of a Ukrainian command-and-control platform called Sky Map at Prince Sultan Air Base, which has not previously been reported, is a sign of how Ukraine’s military has surged ahead in drone and counter-drone technologies that have been battle-hardened in its four-year war with Russia."

Halt to Iran attacks means Netanyahu's corruption trial will resume on Sunday

(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's long-running corruption trial will resume on Sunday, the courts' spokesperson said on Thursday, after Israel lifted a state of emergency imposed over its war with Iran.

The emergency, which had closed schools and workplaces, was lifted on Wednesday evening as no incoming Iranian missiles had been reported since 3 a.m. (midnight GMT) after a ceasefire was agreed.

"With the lifting of the state of emergency and the return of the judicial system to work, hearings will resume as usual," a statement from the Israeli courts said, adding that they would take place between Sundays and Wednesdays.

Bloomberg News exclusive: Orban Offered to Be ‘Mouse’ Helping Russian ‘Lion’ in Putin Call

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told Vladimir Putin during a phone call in October that he was willing to go to great lengths to assist the Russian president

“Yesterday our friendship rose to such a high level that I can help in any way,” Orban said, according to a Hungarian government transcript of the call reviewed by Bloomberg. “In any matter where I can be of assistance, I am at your service.”

“The more friends we make, the more possibilities we have to resist our adversaries.”

To underline the point, Orban recalled a children’s story he said was popular in Hungary. The Aesop fable involves a mouse freeing a lion caught in a net after it had earlier spared the rodent’s life. The remark drew a laugh from Putin, the transcript shows.

@AriFleischer You think the US undermining Ukraine has endeared it to Poland, Baltics, Romania?

Journalist Shelly Kittleson has been abducted in Baghdad. We join our colleagues around the world in demanding her release. This is an unacceptable attack on press freedom. Journalists are essential witnesses; not political leverage.
