President Trump continues to seek to pressure Ukraine's Zelensky to halt long-range drone strikes on Russia's refineries, in a bid to calm rising diesel prices especially while the parallel Strait of Hormuz crisis persists.
"President Trump over the weekend considered ordering a strike against the Houthis in Yemen before deciding to hold off for now, two U.S. officials said," Axios writes Monday. "Trump was caught between wanting to help his friend and ally, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and avoiding getting entangled on a new front in the Middle East." So now the nation stands on the brink of yet a separate Mideast adventure while the Iran conflict has yet to end, this time in Yemen, because Trump desires to "help his friend". But in the end he did not pull the trigger, for now at least.
Just as the Iranian delegation of President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to fly to New York City for this week's UN General Assembly, where it's expected that the Iranians could be engaged in some sideline diplomacy with the White House, another tanker incident has unfolded off in the Persian Gulf area. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency is reporting Monday that an oil tanker has been "struck by an unknown projectile" while on an inbound transit route in the Strait of Hormuz.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on X, "One of Russia's key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine.
The move follows Trump slapping 50% tariffs on some Canadian goods last month after the US and Canada failed to reach a last-minute trade deal. However, the levies included significant exemptions for major Canadian imports such as oil, gas, and potash. However, earlier, Russian news agency Interfax quoted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko as saying his country lacks the capacity to supply potash fertlizer to the West.
‘These questions deserve rigorous science, transparency, and answers,’ the health secretary said.
"We are in contact with the Qatari intermediary who conveyed our conditions to Washington to end the war, and we are awaiting a response from President Trump," the supreme council's secretary Mohsen Rezaei said.
Attorney Edward Paltzik said Thursday that he is representing Michael Desronvil, the lone holdout juror in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who would not agree that Clancy was not criminally responsible for strangling her three children in January 2023. According to Paltzik, Desronvil has relocated to an undisclosed location in northern New England after his refusal to join the rest of the jury made him the target of a mob.
Aviation researcher Andreas Rupprecht posted footage on LinkedIn that appears to show a prototype of China's "next-generation" fighter jet, with new images suggesting potential progress toward operational status.
Even when Cuba's grid is in operation, only 30% of the population at most receives electricity at any given time. Many regions stay dark 20 to 30 hours at a stretch. Some provinces have reported 60–90 hours without power. Havana has gone from 4 hours a day early in the year to 18 hours after the fuel cutoff.
Most countries in the world reject this controversial policy. Our closest allies in Europe reject birthright citizenship and follow the common practice of “jus sanguinis,” or right of blood. We are part of a smaller number of countries following “jus soli,” or right of soil.
China’s next-generation combat aircraft will be able to fly by themselves if a pilot loses consciousness, navigate without satellite signals and operate in self-reorganising large drone formations. That is the plan laid out by researchers from the Shenyang Aircraft Design & Research Institute, a top Chinese military aircraft design organisation, in a paper last month, the SCMP reported.
America's already-diminished inventory of air defense interceptor missiles took another significant hit last week, as dozens more were expended to defend US troops in Jordan from an Iranian attack. This latest incident illustrates Iran's use of crafty and increasingly technologically-advanced attacks to further sap US munitions supply and degrade the Pentagon's ability to continue mounting defenses -- or provoking attacks -- in a war nearing the seven-month mark.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune revived discussion of a potential US diesel export ban with reporters Tuesday, a day after Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said any export halts on crude or petroleum products were unlikely to lower consumer prices. The divergence in messaging suggests growing pressure across the Trump administration to contain surging fuel costs ahead of the midterm elections as the global refining crisis pushed the US diesel crack spread to a record $117 a barrel early Wednesday morning.
Throughout the war, Iran has launched missiles and drones at U.S. military bases in the Middle East and Gulf, destroying “hundreds of buildings and structures” at American bases in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, and Jordan, according to the inspector general’s report. Dozens of U.S. aircraft were damaged or destroyed as well, it also said, including four F-15E fighter jets, one F-35 advanced fighter plane, multiple refueling aircraft, several helicopters, and others.
"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to the American public," one deployed service member told CBS News. "We're standing there with our eyes closed getting punched in the face."
Persian Gulf states are rebuilding their AI infrastructure with ‘war-proofing’ as a priority
Drone attack on Mecca from unknown location being reported overnight, though the Saudi coalition has been prompted to blame Yemen's Shia Houthis: Saudi Arabia and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation have condemned what they described as a “heinous” Houthi attack targeting Mecca.
The 1,200-kilometer pipeline was shut after an attack last week damaged the system. Wright said Saudi officials were still assessing the damage, but expected repairs to be measured in days rather than weeks.
President Donald Trump's administration is planning to sell to Israel a munitions package worth $2.8 billion, which will include tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs, according to a U.S. official familiar with the sale. The planned sale, which has been informally communicated to relevant congressional committees who weigh in on large arms sales, includes 20,000 MK 84s and 20,000 BLU-117s, the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said.
“And then the party of my body, my choice forced citizens to wear masks and to submit to invasive and intrusive medical interventions against their own wills. The party of MeToo — remember that we were all supposed to listen to women and to believe women— they cruelly silenced the voices of tens of thousands of mothers who believed that their children had suffered vaccine injuries. The Democrats declared war on women’s sports, effectively destroying Title IX. “Democrats condemned meritocracy openly and celebrated mediocrity. The Democratic Party became the party of elites, labeling working Americans as deplorables. Democrats cultivated deep ties with Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Ag, Big Food, Big Insurance, and the mainstream media. They embraced policies that divided Americans along racial lines. They abolished my uncle’s physical fitness test because they said that competition was bad for children.
Kennedy reflects on his family’s Democratic legacy, argues that the party has abandoned its traditional values, and criticizes its handling of COVID-era policies, constitutional rights, women’s sports, immigration and corporate influence. He also discusses his 2024 campaign, his alliance with President Donald Trump, Charlie Kirk’s role in bringing them together, and the “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.
In his dissenting opinion, Alito said the states’ lawsuit aiming to block the rule was the kind of “Hail Mary pass” that shouldn’t stop a rule that the USPS had the power to issue. “The plaintiff States cannot claim the timing of the rule tilts the equities in their favor when they, and courts hearing their claims, are responsible for so much of the delay,” he said. “Not only was the Government subject to months of premature litigation and a series of injunctions that this Court later determined were likely issued without jurisdiction, the Government had to wait nearly another full month for this Court to issue its decision so holding.”
Houthis attacked a Saudi air base with missiles and drones, claiming major damage. Houthis seized more Red Sea territory, including Perim Island near the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Shipping risks are rising, with vessels avoiding the Red Sea and taking longer routes around Africa. Iran-Gulf diplomacy was postponed, delaying efforts to address the Strait of Hormuz crisis in what was to be a rare GCC-Iran meeting. Saudi oil exports face ongoing disruption after a pipeline shutdown, pushing oil prices above $100/barrel.
The government is losing $2 trillion a year and now thinks it’s time to borrow $1.2 trillion to hand out and call it a dividend.
"I've asked Zelensky not to hit the Russian refineries. Diesel is being driven up by the fact that it’s having a hard time coming out of Russia," Trump additionally stated. "That’s a case that hurts the world, and we’ve got to stop it."
The drought has transformed the man-made lake into a shrunken version of itself, with no end in sight. The falling water level threatens supplies and hydroelectric power for millions and has forced some boat ramps to close.
Saudi Arabia temporarily shut its 7 million-barrel-a-day East-West pipeline following multiple drone attacks, exposing a massive vulnerability in a critical export route used to bypass the Strait of Hormuz during more than six months of US-Iran conflict.

Anthropic said one operator used its AI system to generate 2,475 intelligence products in 30 days while monitoring religious and diaspora targets.
As of Friday, after having the day prior entered the strategic port of Mocha, it is being widely reported including in Al Jazeera that the Houthis have taken control of Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline. This gives the group, and by extension Tehran, immensely greater leverage over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and vital global energy chokepoint.
The official line is that 1,256 single adult males will be placed at the old MoD depot on the edge of the Oxfordshire hamlet. Yet the document villagers pulled out of the consultation pack talks about “accommodation for 3,510 service users.” That is not a rounding error. In a place of 350 people and 46 children, it is a demographic wrecking ball.
CSIS estimates that the United States had about 2,300 Patriot interceptors before the conflict with Iran. The remaining inventory is estimated at between 759 and 827 missiles, or roughly one-third of the prewar stockpile. The Patriot inventory is not the only U.S. missile stockpile under pressure. CSIS estimates that 234 to 278 Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) interceptors remain from a prewar inventory of about 452, representing approximately 52% to 62%. Precision Strike Missile (PrSM) stocks are estimated at only 10% to 22% of pre-conflict levels. Tomahawk cruise missile inventories are estimated at about two-thirds of their prewar level.

People who were vaccinated against measles can still contract and transmit the virus to others, and in some instances can initiate substantial chains of transmission, according to a new systematic review and meta-analysis. The study, published Aug. 14 in Expert Review of Vaccines, examined decades of evidence on measles transmission from people who had received at least one dose of a measles-containing vaccine.
US Strikes Iran: US forces reportedly hit Iranian oil tankers near Kharg Island and Jask. Iran Targets US Ships & Jordan: Iran reportedly launched another attack on US naval assets, though no American ships were hit, say US officials. Ballistic missiles raining down on Jordan overnight.

President Trump just issued remarks sure to spark fierce controversy once again. Widespread reports have long documented that he was miles away from Ground Zero on that fateful day, but now he's using language as if he was a victim or barely escaped, or as if he was so close to the action and tragedy akin to a first responder. In the below he seems to confusedly switch between settings - as is often his style - going from talking about his own claimed rescue efforts with a crew of responders, to then narrating a dramatic tale of "running" from the site as it was feared a building could come down on them.
"If they haven't understood by now, they should understand before it’s too late that the rules of the game have changed and that from now on, any violation of Iran’s interests and security will receive a ‘faster, heavier, and more painful’ response,” Ghalibaf said in a post on Telegram. He has warned that Iranian retaliation will no longer be "proportionate".
Democracy is dangerous without guardrails. Unless a society has a strong sense of moral virtue that fosters personal discipline, duty, and honor, base selfishness becomes the driving motivation behind all political action. Unless certain constitutional protections exist to safeguard each individual’s inviolable rights, democratic majorities devour those rights whenever expedient.

Aviation researcher Andreas Rupprecht posted footage on LinkedIn that appears to show China’s next-generation high-altitude intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance drone, an aircraft he estimates is “comparable in size to the US Air Force’s B-21 Raider.” Rupprecht wrote on LinkedIn that the WZ-X drone was spotted at a secretive air base in China’s Xinjiang region, known to some as China’s version of Area 51:
The city-owned grocery stores are part of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan to fight rising food prices. The stores will offer a list of staple food items at 30 percent off the going market price, although how the market price will be calculated has not been disclosed. The city is searching for a private operator to run the stores. Neither the proposed site in Manhattan nor the site in the Bronx could be considered a food desert, so the city-owned stores will draw customers from local independent markets.
Such a statement might make sense if the agitators faced charges related to free speech, but they don’t. They face charges for violating churchgoers’ right to religious freedom—which also appears in the First Amendment. A federal grand jury indicted 38 people on two charges: violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which also protects access to churches; and violating the Ku Klux Klan Act, which criminalizes efforts to deprive Americans of their fundamental rights—in this case, the right to the free exercise of religion.
After Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced two “measles-associated” deaths and called for vaccination, Lancaster County’s coroner said his office recorded no deaths caused by measles. The dispute has drawn scrutiny to Shapiro’s undisclosed financial ties to vaccine manufacturers and a pending regulation that would expand his health department’s authority.

Trump warns of more strikes, but failed to mention tonight: Says US can hit Iran “at any time” but expects the war to end soon. Iran retaliation: Missile and drone strikes hit U.S.-linked sites across Jordan, Iraq, Kuwait and Bahrain. Civilian toll rises: Iran reports a wedding was targeted. Hormuz escalates: Two tankers reportedly hit mines, killing two crew members. No regime collapse, despite Trump urging 'rebellion': Despite US claims, Iran shows no clear signs of imminent collapse and says negotiations remain possible.
The House is expected to vote this week on a proposed constitutional amendment that would fix the size of the Supreme Court at nine justices. The number of justices is currently set by statute, which Congress can change by simple majority. If ratified, the amendment would place the figure in the Constitution, where changing it would require another amendment.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers participated in the operation from from July 27 to Aug. 29, arresting 2,197 illegal aliens across the state, including murderers, rapists, pedophiles, drug traffickers, and violent assailants, according to DHS. "Thanks to the hard work of the men and women of ICE and our federal partners, Operation Rotten Apple did what sanctuary politicians in New York City and the state of New York refuse to do: made the Empire State safer," said Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in a statement. New York Field Office Director Kenneth Genalo said federal immigration officers were harassed, threatened, targeted, and terrorized during the operation by local residents and community members.
Trump vows retaliation, mulls more 'limited' strikes after Iran's own 'retaliatory' missile attacks on US bases in Jordan. Eight Iranian missiles were intercepted by Jordan amid the first major tit-for-tat military strikes in a month. US forces struck Iranian missile launchers on Larak Island, reportedly killing two people. Iran threatens further retaliation, while regional tensions reignite across UAE, Qatar and Red Sea. Global oil prices rose Monday in wake of the overnight renewed fighting.
A Southern California corruption case unraveled in dramatic fashion after federal agents discovered tens of thousands of dollars hidden underground at the home of a longtime local politician, according to the NY Post. Ricardo Pacheco, a former Baldwin Park councilman, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for taking bribes while in office. Investigators recovered $62,900 buried in his backyard, part of more than $83,000 ultimately seized from him. Federal prosecutors said Pacheco used his position to help private interests win favorable treatment from the city. Much of the misconduct involved companies seeking approval to operate marijuana businesses in Baldwin Park.

One book store owner noticed a sudden spike in book sales in April—between double and triple the weekly sales tally.... The practice of what has been dubbed AI "book shredding" burst onto the scene after a 2025 court document revealed that AI tech giant Anthropic purchased millions of printed books, removed their bindings, then scanned each page into digital datasets. Afterward, Anthropic shredded and discarded the originals. It was revealed that the project was part of an ongoing expansion of Anthropic's central library, which has an aim to collect "all the books in the world" and retain them "forever." The undertaking was called Project Panama.
actual attempts to realize socialism, however well-intentioned they were originally, only delivered totalitarian tyranny and mass impoverishment. Since then, schools haven’t been so keen on teaching younger generations that a system based on individual liberty constrained only by peacefully-acquired private ownership rights is what delivers the goods and what enables competent adults to function as morally- and intellectually-autonomous individuals. Neither do they teach that politically-generated handouts, subsidies, privileges, and immunities, nor governmental fiat money creation or unrealistic governmental promises of future economic security are at the root of many of the worsening problems afflicting the productive classes in our society today. Instead, young people have been indoctrinated with a belief that “capitalist” private profit-seeking and the cultural and religious traditions spontaneously propagated in an individualistic culture are to blame for all of society’s ills and injustices. They are taught that only by instituting “socialism” to overthrow capitalism and forcibly re-engineer America’s culture to “woke” specifications can such problems be solved.
2. Follow the harvest. Migrant farm work was the artery that kept many alive. Cotton in Texas, apples in Washington, wheat in Kansas—each crop had its season, its hunger for hands. A family could stitch together nine or ten months of labor by chasing ripeness across state lines, living in tents that leaked when it rained. 3. Ask not what the job is; ask only if it exists. Pride was a luxury item, quickly pawned. Men who had managed offices took up shovels. Women who had worn silk now scrubbed floors. The work itself mattered less than the doing of it, the exchange of sweat for coins.
Ukraine Agriculture Minister Taras Vysotskyi told reporters that, "roughly speaking," about 90% of the food-logistics infrastructure used by major retail chains (large distribution centers serving networks such as Fora, Silpo, NOVUS, and Varus) has been destroyed. That said, Vysotskyi insists this won't result in famine - as chains are switching to more expensive direct-from-producer "on wheels" deliveries. Yet, stores in Kiev are reporting empty shelves for produce, dairy, and staples.
Russia has increasingly targeted Ukraine’s civilian commercial and logistics infrastructure in recent weeks, striking warehouses, distribution centers, hypermarkets, postal terminals and other facilities that keep goods moving through the country. The campaign has damaged supply chains and forced businesses to find more expensive and vulnerable ways to store and deliver products.
Russia has reportedly used a newly upgraded ballistic missile, provisionally known as the Iskander-1000, for the first time in combat, with Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence reporting that it struck a target in the capital Kiev on August 27. The 9M723-2 ballistic missile used is reportedly an upgraded derivative of the 9M723-1 missile used by the older Iskander-M system, and can achieve a 1,000 kilometre range, where the Iskander-M system was previously limited to a 500 kilometre range.
The Kura test range lies about 4,160 miles to the east of where the Arkhangelsk region launch occurred, making for an impressively distant flight across Russia. The military confirmed that the "tactical, technical and flight characteristics of the missile system" were monitored and analyzed, and that the flight went off flawlessly.
A federal judge permitted the government to move forward with construction earlier this month.
President Trump's move to dismantle what Republican Sen. Josh Hawley has called the "modern-day monopoly" in U.S. beef processing reflects growing concern that industry concentration has become a food-security vulnerability. Four corporations, JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill and National Beef, dominate cattle purchasing and processing, creating single points of failure across the nation's beef supply chain. This consolidation has reduced local processing capacity, weakened regional food supply chains and shifted pricing power away from independent ranchers and farmers.
Media accounts which seek to explain the nature of his meeting with top Kremlin intelligence officials, while apparently being snubbed by Putin in terms of a direct interaction, have shifted in days since the visit. The early 'consensus' was that he delivered a stern warning for Russia not to attack any NATO state. But President Trump has poured cold water on this explanation, appearing to dismiss it outright in his latest comments.

“It’s a deadly cocktail,” Hanke offered. He said “the bond vigilantes have come out of hibernation” in reference to the investors that have served as the scourge of administrations for decades, selling government debt en masse to punish what they see as reckless fiscal or monetary policy, ultimately driving yields higher until policymakers change course. The term was coined by economist Ed Yardeni in a 1983 paper, where he wrote that if fiscal and monetary authorities wouldn’t regulate the economy, “the bond investors will.”

The number of troops from the pariah state has crept up to 8,500 fighting in Ukraine after Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un signed a mutual defense agreement two years ago. According to Major General Vadym Skibitskiy, Deputy Head of Ukrainian Defense Intelligence, Putin may request up to 50,000 more soldiers from North Korea next month.
Russia fired a new ballistic missile during a recent strike on Ukraine. The Iskander-1000 has a larger engine and longer range than its predecessor. Russia has been upgrading its ballistic missile arsenal, threatening Ukraine's already strained air defenses.
Benjamin Netanyahu has removed much of the ambiguity surrounding Israel’s territorial intentions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, southern Lebanon and Syria. His government is no longer presenting Israeli military control merely as a temporary response to immediate threats. It is articulating a broader doctrine under which Israel reserves the right to remain inside neighbouring territory until every organisation it considers a danger has been disarmed or eliminated. Because Israel alone determines whether that condition has been satisfied, the proposed security arrangements have no fixed geographical limit, timetable or clearly defined endpoint.
Moderna’s mRNA flu vaccine showed abysmal efficacy in preventing hospitalization. It also showed a higher risk of adverse events, including death, compared with a non-mRNA standard-dose flu vaccine, according to a reanalysis of the FDA’s clinical data. The authors of the reanalysis, including Dr. Peter McCullough and Nicolas Hulscher, urged U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to halt distribution of the shots.
At the start of this week, Britain announced it plans to provide Ukraine with classified technology to allow for the country's own manufacturing of the British/French-designed SCALP air-launched cruise missile (which in the UK is known as the Storm Shadow).

Champagne said counter-tariffs will be introduced on a sliding scale of 15, 25, and 50 percent, with the highest levies applied to specific dairy products, cosmetics, and select lumber products.
The Supreme Court stated that its new order “does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful ... but the [executive order] itself does not harm the States, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the Government from trying to implement it.” In other words, any concrete injury that the litigating states may experience would come from later agency actions implementing it, and states may then sue over that issue when it arises.
