In defense of our Republic, the Supreme Court struck down using emergency powers to enact taxes.

 

This ruling will also prevent a future President such as AOC from using emergency powers to enact socialism.

1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

 

Searching the web

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is a U.S. federal law enacted in 1977 as Title II of Public Law 95-223. It was signed into law by President Jimmy Carter on December 28, 1977.Purpose and BackgroundCongress passed IEEPA to limit and clarify the broad emergency economic powers previously granted to the President under the much older Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) of 1917. TWEA had allowed presidents to exercise sweeping controls over economic transactions (even in peacetime emergencies), and investigations in the 1970s revealed that the U.S. had been under various declared emergencies for decades. This led to reforms via the National Emergencies Act (NEA) of 1976 and IEEPA in 1977, which aimed to restrict such powers to genuine foreign-sourced threats and add congressional oversight.Key ProvisionsThe President can declare a national emergency in response to an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to U.S. national security, foreign policy, or economy that originates in whole or substantial part outside the United States (50 U.S.C. § 1701).

Once declared, the President gains authority under 50 U.S.C. § 1702 to:Investigate, regulate, or prohibit various international economic transactions.

Block/freeze assets and property in which foreign entities have interests.

Restrict or prohibit imports/exports, financial transfers, and other commerce-related activities.

 

The President must consult with Congress where feasible, report to Congress every six months on the emergency and actions taken, and the emergency can be terminated by Congress or the President.

In cases of actual armed attack on the U.S., additional powers (like property confiscation) apply.

Penalties for violations include civil and criminal fines/imprisonment.

 

Common UsesIEEPA has become the primary legal foundation for most modern U.S. economic sanctions programs, administered mainly by the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Presidents have used it extensively to target countries (e.g., Iran, North Korea, Russia), terrorist groups, narcotics traffickers, and other entities posing foreign threats.It does not explicitly mention tariffs, and its core focus is on blocking transactions, freezing assets, and regulating commerce in emergency contexts rather than broad revenue-raising import taxes (which are traditionally a congressional power under the Constitution). Recent controversies (including Supreme Court cases in 2025–2026) have debated whether IEEPA can justify widespread tariffs, with some rulings holding that it exceeds the statute's intended scope.In summary, IEEPA gives the executive branch flexible but constrained tools for responding to foreign economic threats during declared emergencies, while aiming to prevent unchecked peacetime use of emergency powers.

Why was the NG recently activated in select cities within the US?

Can the NG work in coordination w/ the marines?

Do conditions need to be satisfied to authorize?

Given that the mess of a Supreme Court opinion rejecting Trump’s IEEPA tariffs nonetheless leaves the door wide open for Trump to immediately re-implement the tariffs by different means and under different authorities, I think MacBeth has the best description of the Roberts decision:

 

A walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

“Accordingly,” Roberts wrote, “the president must ‘point to clear congressional authorization’ to justify his extraordinary assertion of the power to impose tariffs. He cannot.”

Ranger Road Fire, Oklahoma and Kansas

Feb. 19, 2026

 

The Ranger Road Fire began in Oklahoma in the afternoon of Tuesday, February 17. The fire has since spread across the border into southern Kansas and, as of February 19, burned more than 283,000 acres.

 

The image comparison above shows the day the fire started, February 17, on the left "A" side. The active fire front can be seen encircling the burned area in bright red, with smoke emanating from the fire.

 

Move the center swipe bar to the left to see by Wednesday, February 18, the burned area in brown has doubled to almost twice the size of Chicago. The fire is currently only about 15 percent contained.

 

The false-color corrected reflectance images were acquired by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) aboard the joint NASA/NOAA NOAA-20 platform.

 

The Plains have been experiencing extremely critical to elevated fire weather conditions these past few days due to dry air, high and sustained winds up to 20 mph, and dry vegetation with high burn risk.

I wonder if SC know they not only fucked the country, they fucked International relations, foes like Europe has been looking for a way to defeat Trump and the US for years.

 

I hope one courageous and honest Patriot that knows this five, conspired intentionally to hurt Trump and America. There is no fucking way this wasn’t a plan, to block Trump butin effect crash our economydue to the chaos they made. I hope to God there are recordings of them planning it.

 

I also wonder if Obama, Susan Rice and others threatened these justices with black mail, or more horrendous punishment.

 

It really doesn’t make sense for the SC to make a major decision that can harm our economy and country for years to come because of their decision. In the past the Court stayed out of matters that the result would hurt the whole country.

 

They have intentionally cracked the retail pricing (and all pricing) by removing tariffs.Retail will be the first to increase rapidly! And the Democrats are cheering it on!

 

I’m as mad today as they day when the ruled on Obama care, and forced that shit law that in reality ruined health insurance for probably ever! Obama threatened Roberts and he caved.

Feb 20, 2026

 

High winds coupled with dry conditions fueled fast-spreading wildland fires in the U.S. southern Plains in winter 2026.

On February 17, several large blazes broke out on the Oklahoma Panhandle and burned quickly through tens of thousands of acres of grasslands and shrublands.

The winds also caused dust storms and low visibility throughout the wider region.

 

Smoke from multiple fires as well as wind-borne dust streamed across the Plains on the afternoon of February 17, when the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this image.

The Ranger Road fire, the largest of the group, started that day shortly after noon near Beaver, Oklahoma, and spread rapidly throughout the afternoon.

By the evening, it had burned into Kansas and consumed an estimated 145,000 acres (587,000 hectares), the Oklahoma Forestry Service reported.

Combined with other fires nearby, including the Stevens and Side Road fires near Tyrone, Oklahoma, more than 155,000 acres burned that day, the agency said.

 

The Ranger Road fire exhibited features of a “fast fire,” a particularly dangerous and destructive type of fire characterized by rapid spread.

These blazes usually burn in grasslands and shrublands rather than forests, often occur in autumn and winter when fuels are dry, and are propelled by strong winds.

Wind gusts up to 70 miles (110 kilometers) per hour were measured across the Oklahoma and Texas panhandles on February 17, the National Weather Service said.

 

The fires destroyed several structures, threatened farmland and livestock, and prompted evacuation orders for parts of western Oklahoma and southern Kansas, according to news reports.

Oklahoma’s governor declared a disaster emergency for counties in the Panhandle.

 

Persistent winds and dry conditions led to further fire growth on February 18. The Ranger Road and Stevens fires approximately doubled in size that day, the Oklahoma Forestry Services reported.

On February 19, a red flag warning remained in effect for the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, with forecasts calling for wind gusts up to 40 miles (64 kilometers) per hour and very low relative humidity.

 

Wind-blown dust created other serious hazards across the region. Near Pueblo, Colorado (west of this scene), poor visibility led to a deadly pileup of dozens of vehicles on Interstate 25, according to reports. A

nd in southern New Mexico, officials warned travelers of dangerous conditions due to blowing dust.

TRUMP’S TARIFF FIGHT IS NOT OVER!

President Trump is ALREADY talking about implementing “Plan B,” per NewsNation

“The admin DOES have other tools… it can impose tariffs under OTHER statutes,” Jonathan Turley says

Other tariff authorities remain intact and available: The decision is narrow—it only blocks tariffs specifically under IEEPA. Tariffs imposed under longstanding trade laws like Section 232 (national security, e.g., on steel, aluminum, or other metals) and Section 301 (unfair trade practices, especially against China) are unaffected and stay in place. Administration officials and analysts have already signaled they plan to pivot quickly to these tools to reimpose similar (or adjusted) duties, keeping much of the trade pressure and revenue stream alive. This avoids a total collapse of his tariff strategy.

 

In short, this is mostly bad news for the core of his tariff-heavy economic plan, but he retains fallback options that could blunt the impact and allow him to continue aggressive trade policies. If more develops (like a Trump statement or follow-up actions), it could shift the picture to a positive outcome.

 

 

Whereas before Trump was using tariffs lower profit margins to achieve a desired outcome, now he will instead prohibit targeted products leaving no profit whatsoever.

 

SCOTUS took away President Trump’s flyswatter and encouraged him to use his sniper rifle instead.

Webb maps Uranus's mysterious upper atmosphere

19/02/2026

 

For the first time, an international team of astronomers have mapped the vertical structure of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering how temperature and charged particles vary with height across the planet.

Using NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's NIRSpec instrument, the team observed Uranus for nearly a full rotation, detecting the faint glow from molecules high above the clouds.

The results offer a new window into how ice-giant planets distribute energy in their upper layers.

 

Led by Paola Tiranti of Northumbria University in the United Kingdom, the study mapped out the temperature and density of ions in the atmosphere extending up to 5000 km above Uranus’s cloud tops, a region called the ionosphere where the atmosphere becomes ionised and interacts strongly with the planet’s magnetic field.

These unique data provide the most detailed portrait yet of where the planet’s auroras form, how they are influenced by its unusually tilted magnetic field, and how Uranus’s atmosphere has continued to cool over the past three decades.

The measurements show that temperatures peak between 3000 and 4000 km, while ion densities reach their maximum around 1000 km, revealing clear longitudinal variations linked to the complex geometry of the magnetic field.

 

“This is the first time we’ve been able to see Uranus’s upper atmosphere in three dimensions,” said Paola.

“With Webb’s sensitivity, we can trace how energy moves upward through the planet’s atmosphere and even see the influence of its lopsided magnetic field.”

Webb’s data confirm that Uranus’s upper atmosphere is still cooling, extending a trend that began in the early 1990s.

The team measured an average temperature of around 426 kelvins (about 150 degrees Celsius), lower than values recorded by ground-based telescopes or previous spacecraft.

 

Two bright auroral bands were detected near Uranus’s magnetic poles, together with a distinct depletion in emission and ion density in part of the region between two bands (a feature likely linked to transitions in magnetic field lines).

Similar darkened regions have been seen at Jupiter, where the geometry of the magnetic field there controls how charged particles travel through the upper atmosphere.

 

“Uranus’s magnetosphere is one of the strangest in the Solar System,” added Paola. “It’s tilted and offset from the planet’s rotation axis, which means its auroras sweep across the surface in complex ways.

Webb has now shown us how deeply those effects reach into the atmosphere. By revealing Uranus’s vertical structure in such detail, Webb is helping us understand the energy balance of the ice giants.

This is a crucial step towards characterising giant planets beyond our Solar System.”

 

The study is based on data from JWST General Observer programme 5073 (PI: H. Melin of Northumbria University in the United Kingdom), which used NIRSpec’s Integral Field Unit on 19 January 2025 to observe Uranus for 15 hours.

The research has been published in the Geophysical Research Letters.

12-point summary

 

Here's a 12-point summary of the book, including key data and statistics for those that don’t want to read the longer Q&A below.

 

PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) is not cancer-specific. It's present in normal, benign, and cancerous prostate tissue. There is no specific PSA level that definitively indicates cancer.

Routine PSA screening leads to significant overdiagnosis and overtreatment. For every 1,000 men screened, only 1 man may avoid death from prostate cancer, while many others suffer unnecessary biopsies and treatments.

Prostate cancer is age-related. About 40% of men aged 40-49, 70% of men 60-69, and 80% of men over 70 have prostate cancer. Most of these cancers are slow-growing and unlikely to cause death.

The lifetime risk of dying from prostate cancer is only 3%, meaning 97% of men will die from other causes, even if they have prostate cancer.

Radical prostatectomy, a common treatment resulting from PSA screening, often leads to significant side effects. Up to 60-80% of men experience erectile dysfunction and 10-20% have long-term urinary incontinence.

PSA screening has not significantly reduced prostate cancer mortality. Studies show similar death rates between screened and unscreened populations.

The PSA test has a high false-positive rate of up to 80%, leading to many unnecessary biopsies and treatments.

Active surveillance is increasingly recognized as an appropriate option for many men with low-risk prostate cancer, potentially avoiding unnecessary treatments and their side effects.

The U.S. healthcare system spends an estimated $3 billion annually on PSA tests alone, with billions more on subsequent procedures and treatments.

New technologies like robotic surgery and proton beam therapy, while heavily marketed, have not shown superior outcomes to traditional treatments but are significantly more expensive.

Conflicts of interest are prevalent in prostate cancer care. Many researchers and physicians promoting PSA screening have financial ties to companies that profit from increased screening and treatment.

The FDA approved the PSA test for screening in 1994 despite significant reservations from its own advisory panel. This decision, along with aggressive marketing by medical companies, led to widespread adoption of PSA screening before its benefits and harms were fully understood.

Mystery as groundbreaking Caltech genius found gunned down on porch of SoCal home

 

A Caltech genius has been gunned down on his porch in Southern California.

 

Carl Grillmair was found dead outside his home in the unincorporated community of Llano, 75 miles north of LA, on Monday.

 

The 67-year-old astrophysicist, who was an expert on distant planets, died from a fatal gunshot wound to the torso, the LA County Medical Examiner said.Cops arrested Freddy Snyder, 29, on Wednesday and charged him with murder. He was also charged over a nearby carjacking and first-degree burglary over a Dec. 28 incident.

 

His bail has been set at $2 million. It is unclear if there were any links between the suspect and Grillmair.

Lunar New Year fireworks seen from orbit

Feb. 19, 2026

 

NASA astronaut Chris Williams has shared an enchanting view of fireworks exploding in the sky over Beijing from the International Space Station (ISS), as millions gathered on the world below to celebrate Lunar New Year on the night of Feb. 17.

 

A celebration witnessed from orbit

Williams captured spectacular detail in the complex network of highways and thoroughfares branching out from the bright urban centres of Beijing, and the coastal city of Tianjin, which can be seen to the southeast of the Chinese capital

On the night of Feb. 17, this metropolitan light show was bolstered by the light cast by spectacular fireworks displays, which took on a static-like appearance in the time-lapse footage captured from 250 miles (402 kilometers) above Earth in low orbit.

"Happy Year of the Horse," wrote Williams in an X post accompanying the video. "I was fortunate to be looking out of the Cupola while we were passing over Beijing and saw the twinkling of fireworks celebrating the Lunar New Year!"

Meanwhile, Chinese taikonauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang marked the celebration in orbit by adorning the Tiangong Space Station with festive decorations and a feast, while also sharing a music video partially filmed aboard the orbital outpost, titled "Let the five-star red flag fly high in space".

 

What spacecraft are in frame?

A circular solar panel belonging to the Northrop Grumman-built Cygnus XL cargo spacecraft NG-23 can be seen to the right of the shot. The spacecraft carried 11,000 pounds (4,990 kilograms) of supplies and equipment to the orbital station following its launch on Sept. 14, 2025.

The MS-28 Soyuz spacecraft — whose rocket caused significant damage to the only crew-capable launch pad at Russia's Baikonur Cosmodrome upon lifting off on Thanksgiving Day in November last year — is visible to the left of the Cygnus freighter.

The spacecraft and its crew, composed of NASA's Chris Williams and cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev are due to depart the station and return to Earth this summer.

Peeking up at the bottom left of the video is the Russian docking node "Prichal" — a recent addition to the orbital station that, installed back in 2021, provides additional berths for crewed Soyuz spacecraft and Progress freighters..

A mini 'planetary parade' is visible tonight. Can you spot them all?

February 20, 2026

 

Look to the western horizon at sunset on Feb. 20 to witness an incredible sight, as three planets shine below the slender crescent of the waxing moon, with Jupiter glowing high overhead in the winter sky.

The upturned sickle-shape of the 18%-lit moon will appear 40 degrees above the horizon as the sun sets, with a string of bright "evening stars" representing Venus, Mercury and Saturn arrayed beneath, fighting for attention in the glow of the setting sun.

 

Saturn will be positioned 15 degrees directly below the crescent moon, with Mercury less than 10 degrees— roughly the width of your clenched fist held at arm's length — to its lower right.

Mercury is currently in prime viewing position, having just passed its point of greatest eastern elongation on Feb. 19, when it was at its furthest from the sun in Earth's sky in its current evening apparition.

 

Find a spot with a clear view to the west for a chance to see Venus shining directly below Mercury, less than 10 degrees above the horizon at sunset.

Neptune will also be present less than 1 degree — approximately the width of your little finger — to the right of Saturn, though it'll be too dim to spot with the naked eye.

 

Neptune is so distant that the blue spec of its disk can only be seen with the aid of an 8-inch telescope, but utmost care must be taken to ensure that the sun is well below the horizon before pointing any telescopic equipment in its direction.

Uranus, meanwhile, will be five degrees below the Pleiades on Feb. 20 and while technically just bright enough to spot with the naked eye from a dark sky location, the planet will also benefit from the magnifying power of a telescope to spot its tiny aqua disk.

 

Jupiter dominates the sky this time of year and can be found high in the east at sunset, glowing with the bright stars Castor and Pollux in the constellation Gemini.

A 6-inch telescope will reveal details in the cloud bands lining its surface, along with its four largest moons, Io, Ganymede, Europa and Callisto.

 

The lunar crescent will also make for a fascinating telescopic target, just three days out from its new moon phase on Feb. 17.

Look out for the dark forms of Mare Crisium and Mare Fecunditatis darkening the sunlit wedge of Earth's satellite, which formed when ancient lava flows flooded networks of impact craters before hardening many millions of years ago.

Next, sweep your telescope across the line separating night from day on the lunar surface — known as the terminator — to spot a myriad of shadowed impact craters scarring the lunar surface.

The Next Frontier for Nurses? Outer Space.

February 19, 2026

 

As NASA and private space companies plan missions farther from Earth, one nurse is working to make sure nursing is part of the conversation.

Christine Rincon founded The Space Nurse to advocate for a formal role for nurses in space travel and long-duration missions.

Her message is that if humans are going to live and thrive in space, not just survive, nurses need to be involved.

 

Why Nursing Is Missing From Space Missions

Rincon became a nurse in 2015. At the time, she said space nursing “wasn’t really a thing.”

She initially believed that by the time she gained experience, opportunities might open up. By 2026, Rincon realized the profession still did not have a clear pathway into space operations.

Currently, space missions rely on a flight surgeon, and a biomedical engineering team in mission control.

If a medical issue occurs aboard the International Space Station, teams coordinate from Earth and evacuate if needed.

 

But as Rincon pointed out, missions to Mars would take about six months to reach their destination. Evacuation would not be an option.

As space agencies plan to go farther, Rincon believes medical teams must begin to "mirror Earth."

“Who better to care for the whole person than the nurse?” she said.

 

Nurses Already Have the Skills NASA Needs

Rincon said many NASA job postings use engineering terms that may cause nurses to overlook opportunities.

One example she shared: “human in the loop processes.”

At first, Rincon did not recognize the term and assumed it did not apply to her. After researching it, she realized nurses use human in the loop processes daily.

 

Examples she provided include:

Opening a medication dispensing system like Pixis and deciding whether to override a warning

Reviewing electronic medical record sepsis alerts and determining whether a patient is truly septic

In both cases, the machine provides data, but the human makes the final decision.

 

Rincon said nurses may read those job postings and move on without realizing that the experience described applies to them.

 

She also referenced NASA Standard 3001, which outlines environmental requirements such as:

Temperature

Air quality

Oxygen levels

 

According to Rincon, nurses understand those parameters in practical, patient-centered ways.

 

Microgravity Changes Patient Care

Rincon is currently teaching nurses about how microgravity affects the human body.

Gravity, she explained, is something healthcare providers take for granted until it is gone.

In microgravity:

Fluids float

Blood shifts to the head and chest

There is less blood in the periphery

IV fluids do not drip downward

Air bubbles disperse throughout fluid bags

Vomit does not fall and can pose risks to equipment

 

She emphasized that what nurses expect to happen to the body in a gravity-based environment “is not what’s going to happen” in space.

Rincon also noted that CPR in space looks dramatically different from CPR performed on Earth.

 

The Rise of Space Tourism

Rincon said space medicine planning is still largely focused on highly screened, extremely healthy astronauts.

But commercial space travel introduces a new population: space tourists.

Unlike astronauts, tourists may not have the same physical conditioning or training. Rincon gave the example of nausea in space, something most astronauts experience.

In a zero-gravity environment, vomiting does not fall downward. If it contacts electronics, it could become dangerous.

Rincon believes nurses are well positioned to address these operational realities.

 

Nurses manage:

Activities of daily living

Early signs of abnormal changes

Training and education

Ongoing patient support

 

Rincon also shared an example from a conference discussion about a head tilt study used to simulate microgravity.

When she asked how participants would go to the bathroom, she said nobody had an answer.

"They don't think about these things," Rincon said.

 

Building the Path Forward

Rincon said she is actively networking with NASA and private space companies, including:

Blue Origin

SpaceX

Virgin

Axiom, which hopes to build a space station

 

Her goal is advocacy now and consultation in the future.

Because this path has not yet been established, Rincon said much of her work involves explaining why nursing is important in space operations.

She also addressed imposter syndrome, recalling that she once introduced herself as “just a nurse” in engineering-heavy spaces.

 

Members of the broader space community pushed back on that language and acknowledged that nurses are needed.

“You are needed,” she said. “You don’t have to be afraid to walk into these rooms.”

Biosphere 2’s SAM to become testing ground for next-generation space habitats

February 20, 2026

 

From carbon-scrubbing crops to advanced life-support technology and an indoor Mars yard, the facility is emerging as a proving site for future off-world missions.

At the University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2, the Space Analog for the Moon and Mars, better known as SAM, operates as a sealed habitat where air, water and food are measured and recycled as if it were far from Earth’s croplands and life-sustaining atmosphere.

SAM’s research informs the future of astronaut life-support systems while advancing a broader goal: positioning the facility as a critical testing ground for next-generation space habitats.

 

The SAM facility is built around Biosphere 2’s original 1987 Test Module, a prototype designed to determine whether humans could survive inside a sealed environment on Earth.

The module was later abandoned until Kai Staats, SAM’s director of research, led a reconstruction effort. After years of restoration, the original pressure vessel was expanded and now includes a crew quarters with a kitchen, bath, engineering bay, airlock, carbon dioxide scrubber and life support monitors.

Together, they form a pressurized habitat analog capable of hosting long-duration missions with up to four crew.

 

Testing life support with crops – and one human

SAM’s most recent mission sealed a single crew member, Matthias Beach, a member of the SAM development and operations team, inside the habitat with 144 dwarf pea plants to test whether crops could help sustain human life in isolation.

The experiment lays a foundation for future off-world missions.

 

Conducted over two weeks in October 2025, the dwarf pea experiment tracked how efficiently plants sequester carbon dioxide and return oxygen in a confined environment.

Initially, every breath Beach exhaled inside SAM was captured by the plants through photosynthesis and converted back into breathable air.

On Day 8, with Beach still inside, the peas were harvested so the team could observe the level of carbon dioxide and record a precise measurement of how much carbon each plant had been removing from the air.

 

The test demonstrated how a relatively small number of crops could become part of a closed air system to support life on future lunar or Martian settlements. For the crew member inside, the experiment was also a deeply personal experience.

“When I harvested the plants, it was actually kind of sad,” Beach said. “I took pictures of a few that I thought were adorable, and I really missed them afterward.

I missed hearing the pumps cycle on and off every half hour, the glow of the lights and that smell – the humidity and the green. Without it, the habitat felt more like a spaceship.”

 

Additional crops are slated for testing inside SAM through 2026, contributing to a growing database documenting how 20 or more food species might support air revitalization in a sealed habitat.

Those crops include peas, wheat, rice, barley, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, sweet potatoes and white potatoes, Staats said.

The dataset will help determine how many square meters of crops are needed to support long duration, human-crewed missions and how much carbon those crops can recycle.

Building a database for space agriculture

Inside the SAM Test Module, hydroponic racks – managed with support from the U of A’s Controlled Environment Agriculture Center – regulate plant growth through controlled lighting, nutrient delivery, humidity and temperature.

Sensors embedded within each of SAM’s four compartments continuously monitor carbon dioxide, oxygen, humidity, temperature and vapor-pressure deficit, a measure of how much moisture the air holds relative to how much it can hold when saturated.

That metric is critical to plant health and carbon sequestration rates.

 

The data streams in real time to SIMOC Live, an air-quality monitoring platform developed by Staat’s team, that connects globally participating habitats in the World’s Biggest Analog project into a shared repository.

Those measurements are also fed into SAM’s digital twin, SIMOC – an agent-based computer model that uses mission data to refine predictions and improve future habitat performance.

SIMOC is now available for use by anyone in the world, equipped with a working, virtual model of the original 1991-93 and 1994 Biosphere 2 missions, as well as SAM and a Mars habitat of customizable design.

 

Testing machines and plants side by side

Additionally, while the dwarf pea trial focused on what researchers call “bioregenerative” air revitalization, SAM’s team is also developing a complementary “physicochemical” system.

Construction is now complete on the Experimental Air Revitalization Laboratory, or EARL, a four-bed molecular-sieve carbon dioxide scrubber modeled after the system used on the International Space Station and developed under a technology license with NASA.

Designed in partnership with James Knox, a spacecraft carbon dioxide removal systems expert, the scrubber allows the SAM team to test mechanical and biological life-support methods side by side, switching between them or operating in parallel while humans are sealed inside the habitat.

Researchers will be able to evaluate which approach works best for specific mission scenarios and how hybrid systems can balance power demands and environmental control.

 

“SAM is the only facility on Earth that can study both machine-based and plant-based processes with humans in the loop in a pressurized facility,” Staats said.

“We have the closest thing to an actual Mars habitat running on Earth. No one else – not even NASA or the International Space Station – has that today.”

 

Practicing missions on a simulated Mars

The SAM habitat is immediately adjacent to an indoor Mars yard – a geologically accurate landscape featuring ancient riverbed deposits, a lava tube, a scree slope and a reduced gravity simulator designed for rovers and crewed exploration.

Researchers train in pressure suits while testing procedures and mobility under reduced-gravity conditions, allowing scientists and industry partners to evaluate systems and protocols before launching them into orbit or deploying them on planetary surfaces.

A new surgical bay is also under construction inside of the SAM crew quarters. Led by practicing surgeon and SAM team member Dr. Bindhu Oommen, the SAM Med Bay has engaged a growing collaboration of space medical professionals, including former NASA flight surgeons, the APEX fellowship based at Banner Health in Phoenix and the University of Florida.

 

With its expanding capabilities, SAM is positioned to serve as a primary test site for commercial space companies, government agencies and academic institutions interested in validating new tools, rovers, medical systems and life-support hardware.

Its integration with the Mars yard makes it a natural training environment for teams preparing missions that require realistic operational testing.

CSO, CMSSF celebrate newest Guardians, engage BMT training staff

Feb. 20, 2026

 

U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman and Chief Master Sgt. of the Space Force John Bentivenga presided over a Basic Military Training graduation ceremony, engaging with military training instructors and the service's newest Guardians throughout the visit to Joint Base San Antonio, Feb. 17 through 19.

Earlier in the week, Bentivenga participated in a BMT graduation "Patching Ceremony," personally applying U.S. Space Force patches to graduates' uniforms, as a symbolic moment to mark each trainee's transition to Guardian, before he addressed the graduates on the importance of their mission to dominate the space domain and secure the nation's future.

 

On Feb. 18, Bentivenga led the newest Guardians in the "Airman and Guardian's Run," a one-and-a-half-mile run that celebrates the culmination of Air Force and Space Force BMT.

The event gave families and guests their first glimpse of their trainee-turned-graduate in seven-and-a-half weeks.

Saltzman and Bentivenga later sat down with MTIs over lunch to discuss the future of BMT training, strategies to recruit and retain quality instructors, and the critical role MTIs play in shaping, training and inspiring Guardians with the foundation to deliver the world's premier space power.

 

At the graduation ceremony, Saltzman spoke directly to the newest class of Airmen and Guardians about the challenges ahead.

"You are joining our military at a time unlike we've seen in generations, and our world will continue to evolve," Saltzman said.

"The threats we face in the air and in space will only grow more complex, and our adversaries are sharpening their own swords every day."

 

Saltzman was quick to follow with a message of confidence in the graduating class. "But I'm not worried," Saltzman continued. "Each of you has proven yourself.

I know you have the courage to challenge the status quo, the innovative spirit to stay a step ahead of our adversaries and the warrior mindset to meet anything the nation demands of you."

 

Saltzman closed his remarks on a personal note.

"I'm incredibly proud of each and every one of you, and I'm confident that no matter the challenges we may face in the future, you have what it takes to fight and win, for your families and for our nation," Saltzman said.

Space Force Guardians complete BMT alongside Air Force recruits at JBSA-Lackland, the sole BMT installation for both services.

The Space Force, established in December 2019, continues to shape its culture, identity and training standards as the nation's newest military branch.

It Is Important To Remember That Hillary Clinton's Chappaqua Bathroom Server Was The Main Access Point Where Foreign Governments And International Criminals Who Donated To 'The Clinton Foundation' Retrieved The Intelligence They Paid For.

 

It Is Also Relevant To Mention That President Barack Obama's Personal Email Server Was Set Up By Alphabet / Google's Eric Schmidt, In North Korea, One Year Before 'The Obama Foundation' Was Founded, In 2014.

 

We Already Know Barry's Co-Conspirators Logged In To The Same Gmail Account With The Same Password, Reading And Replying To Each Other In Drafts — Saved, Never Sent.

 

However, Is It Plausible That Barry's Server Also Was The Access Point For Selling State Secrets To Foreign Governments And International Criminals Who Donated To 'The Obama Foundation'?

 

Interestingly Enough, It Turns Out That John Bolton Also Has A Foundation. In February Of 2015, John Bolton Launches 'The Foundation For American Security And Freedom'.

 

This Is The Foundation's Mission Statement…

 

'The Foundation For American Security And Freedom (FASF) Is Dedicated To Ensuring U.S. Leadership In A World Of Growing International Threats. We Know That America Must Lead. We Analyze, Communicate And Advocate Restoring Critical Alliances, Rebuilding Our Military Capabilities, And Opposing Isolationist Tendencies Domestically. We Stand Against Great Power Threats, Global Terrorism, Expansionist Regimes And Nuclear Proliferation That Endanger The Security Of America And Her Allies.'

 

At The Time Of The Launch Of The Foundation John Bolton Had Previously Served As The U.S. Ambassador To The United Nations, Under Secretary Of State For Arms Control And International Security, And Assistant Attorney General In Charge Of The U.S. Department Of Justice's Civil Division.

 

Considering The Recent Indictment And The Previous Revelation Of John Bolton's Use Of A Nonsecure AOL Email Account, It Sure Seems Like He Was Doing The Exact Same Thing As Hillary And Barry, Selling Foreign Governments Access To State Secrets.

 

It Turned Out That The Depraved Warmonger Was Actually A Spy, And A Traitor. I Wonder How Much He Got Paid. I Am Sure We Will Find Out During The Trial.

 

However, If John Bolton Did Not Get Paid For His Services, It Makes This Even More Messed Up, Because It Would Indicate That He Truly Believed It Was The Right Thing To Do, To Further The U.S. Empire's Agenda, Serving His Masters. Either Way, John Bolton Is Finished.

There should be a law that our government and leaders can never use “conspiracy theory” to try to debunk the truth. And they should be required to tell the truth and then prove it’s true!

Russian planes escorted out of air space near Alaska

Feb. 20, 2026 / 10:18 AM

 

Five Russian planes flew into the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone and were escorted out by U.S. planes on Thursday.

 

The North American Aerospace Defense Command detected the two Tu-95s, two Su-35s, and one A-50 and tracked them in the ADIZ, a NORAD press release said.

 

NORAD launched two F-16s, two F-35s, one E-3, and four KC-135s to intercept, identify and escort the planes until they left the Alaskan ADIZ.

 

The Russian military aircraft stayed in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian airspace. This activity in the Alaskan ADIZ happens regularly and isn't seen as a threat, NORAD said.

 

An ADIZ is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the identification of all aircraft in the interest of national security.

 

NORAD uses a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter planes to detect and track aircraft, the release said.

 

A similar event happened in September near Alaska, as it did in August two days in a row. The August event drew attention because it happened soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin visited Alaska to meet with President Donald Trump.

Stolen ambulance crashes into DHS office space in Idaho

Feb. 19, 2026, 4:15 PM EST

 

Investigators were searching Thursday for a person who stole an ambulance and crashed it into an Idaho office building leased by the Department of Homeland Security in what authorities called a targeted attack.

 

Someone stole a Canyon County Paramedics ambulance from St. Luke’s Medical Center in Meridian, just west of Boise, around 12:30 a.m., according to authorities. No one else was in the ambulance.

 

According to Meridian Chief of Police Tracy Basterrechea, the suspect “retrieved gas cans stashed around vegetation.” The suspect then drove the ambulance into a nearby building leased for DHS, including workspace associated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

 

Meridian authorities said the suspect tried but failed to light the accelerant and ignite the gas cans. Gasoline appeared to be poured in and outside of the ambulance, but the suspect appeared to be scared off by first responders and fled the scene.

 

During a news conference Thursday afternoon, authorities said they believe this was a targeted attack on DHS property.

 

Staff from the Seattle field office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on the scene.

Zelensky resorts to f-bombs and insults to rally Western hawks (VIDEO)

20 Feb, 2026 01:31

 

Vladimir Zelensky is increasingly resorting to insults and unhinged rants while trying to rally pro-Ukraine hawks in the West.

Zelensky used profanites on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference last week and later continued in the same style in interviews with outlets including Axios and Piers Morgan Uncensored.

RT’s Roman Kosarev explains that Zelensky’s tactic is aimed to undermine Western politicians seeking a diplomatic resolution to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Ukrainian army disappearing – Russian general

20 Feb, 2026 10:34

 

Kiev’s ability to supply fresh soldiers to the front line has significantly diminished, putting the Ukrainian army on a downward spiral, a senior Russian military planner has said. The Ukrainian army’s strength is being sapped by mass desertion and public resistance to mandatory conscription.

The Russian military estimates Ukrainian military casualties at over 520,000 in 2025 and 1.5 million since the conflict escalated in 2022, Gen. Sergey Rudskoy, head of operations at the Russian General Staff, said in an interview published Friday.

 

“Presently, the Kiev regime has largely lost the ability to replenish its units through obligatory mobilization.

The number of recruitments per month has dropped by about two times,” Rudskoy told Krasnaya Zvezda, the Russian armed forces’ official newspaper. “A trend is forming for the decrease of the Ukrainian army’s strength.”

 

During his nomination hearings last month, Ukrainian Defense Minister Mikhail Fedorov told lawmakers that two million potential recruits were on a wanted list for draft evasion and 200,000 troops had deserted.

This month, human rights ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets reported a sharp rise in complaints against mobilization enforcers, calling it a “systemic crisis.”

New videos of violent confrontations between conscription patrols and civilians are published by Ukrainian media almost daily, even as authorities claim most such footage is fabricated.

 

In the interview, Rudskoy also discussed Russian battlefield progress and how technological changes are affecting military planning. Modern warfare demands faster AI-assisted decision-making and broad deployment of robotic systems, he said.

Mass use of drones in the Ukraine conflict has made them comparable to artillery in terms of damage inflicted, Rudskoy added. Drones have also redefined front lines, creating a “zone of blanket kinetic action” extending up to 15 kilometers from friendly positions.

It follows a bitter row with his Thai ex-wife after she accused him of stealing £500,000 from the company they ran together.

 

He was arrested last year and quizzed by detectives when she claimed he had forged documents to sell land and shares in the firm without her knowledge.

Prince Andrew Joins UK Muslim Rape Gang So He Can Keep Abusing Young Girls

 

LONDON - In a stunning twist that experts said could prevent him from facing prosecution for ties to deceased billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, the former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor joined a UK Muslim rape gang so he could keep abusing young girls.

 

The disgraced former royal made the announcement on Thursday following his arrest on charges of misconduct, telling authorities that he had converted to Islam and joined one of the famous rape gangs in town, which effectively made him immune from facing any consequences.

 

"We all know I won't be held accountable now," Mountbatten-Windsor told reporters after being released from custody for being Muslim. "You all thought you finally had me, but I'm always several steps ahead of you. I have converted to Islam and joined one of their delightful rape gangs, which means law enforcement won't touch me, and I can continue abusing young girls as much as I want without any fear of being prosecuted. Cheers!"

 

British authorities admitted that there was now little they could do. "Our hands are tied now, unfortunately," said Scotland Yard spokesman Reginald Arthur Wigglesworth. "Once he put on that funny outfit and said he was a Muslim, that was the end of any chance we had to hold him accountable for any crimes. As per British law, Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor may now commit whatever horrific acts he chooses. Muslim rape gang immunity, and all that, you know."

 

At publishing time, former U.S. President Bill Clinton had reportedly asked if he could fill out an application to join the gang.

Ukrainian drones hit Tamanneftegaz oil terminal, destroy workshop and tanks

February 20, 2026, 06:03 AM

 

Ukrainian drone strikes seriously damaged the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal in Krasnodar Krai, Russia, destroying a production facility and hitting multiple storage tanks, open-source intelligence analysts reported on Feb. 20.

Analysts from the OSINT project CyberBoroshno published images of the aftermath, writing that “the specialized fats production and packaging workshop was completely destroyed” as a result of the attack.

 

Separately, OSINT analysts from Exilenova+ released images showing damage to storage tanks at the Tamanneftegaz facility.

“One tank was completely destroyed, another burned out, and a third sustained damage,” the post said.

 

On Feb. 17, sources told NV within Ukraine’s SBU Security Service that drones from the Alpha Special Operations Center of the agency had struck infrastructure at the Tamanneftegaz oil terminal in Krasnodar Krai for the second time in the past month.

They noted that the port of Taman is one of the largest in the Black Sea region and handles the transshipment of oil, gas and ammonia. Its storage facilities for petroleum products and liquefied gas exceed 1 million cubic meters.

 

The previous attack on the terminal took place on Jan. 22, 2026, when it was likewise targeted by SBU drones.

According to the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, a fire broke out across an area of about 6,200 square meters at the site following the strike.

Three storage tanks with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters each were damaged. Estimated losses amounted to about $50 million.

IDF strikes Hamas command center in Lebanon; 3 reported dead

February 20, 2026

 

The IDF said it struck a Hamas command center in Lebanon used to plan attacks on Israel; Lebanese reports said three people were killed and 12 wounded in Ain al-Hilweh near Sidon, where two missiles hit a building that once housed Palestinian security forces

Lior Ben Ari, Yoav Zitun|08:57

 

The IDF said it struck Friday a compound used by Hamas operatives in the area of the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Hilweh near Sidon in southern Lebanon.

According to the military, the site had recently been used to prepare attacks against Israeli forces operating in Lebanon and to conduct training aimed at advancing various terror plots against the IDF and the State of Israel.

Lebanese reports said three people were killed and 12 wounded in the strike.

 

“The infrastructure that was struck was embedded in the heart of a civilian population, cynically exploiting village residents to advance the organization’s terror objectives and using them as human shields,” the IDF said.

“The activity of the operatives at the compound constituted a violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon and posed a threat to the State of Israel.”

 

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported that two missiles hit a building that had previously been used by the Joint Palestinian Security Forces operating in refugee camps in Lebanon and had “recently been rented by a certain party to serve as a kitchen for distributing food portions.”

According to the report, the targeted building and nearby structures were damaged. A Palestinian source told Lebanon’s LBCI that a Hamas office in Ain al-Hilweh was struck and that there were casualties.

 

Lebanese media reported Monday on a timeline set by the Lebanese army to complete the second phase of consolidating weapons in the country’s south.

According to army commander Gen. Rodolphe Haykal, disarming Hezbollah north of the Litani River will take four to eight months.

Haykal made the remarks while presenting the Lebanese government with the monthly report on the weapons consolidation plan, and one report said an extension is also possible.

 

Lebanese military sources told the Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that Haykal “did not set a deadline for consolidating weapons north of the Litani but stressed the need to complete it quickly.”

The comments came about a month after the Lebanese army announced it had completed the process of dismantling Hezbollah’s weapons south of the Litani, a claim Israel rejected.

EXCLUSIVE: FBI Probed Actions Of Trump's Legal Team While He Was Still In Office

 

G-men scrutinized an 'election matter' 16 months before Arctic Frost

EDITOR’S NOTE: This is the second story in a series on FBI assessments. Read the first story here.

 

A confidential government report exposing the reach of an FBI dragnet of arbitrary spying published by Racket News last week did not detail specific matters that fell into its web, but new documents reveal that the legal team of President Donald Trump fell under the watchful gaze of the bureau while he remained the sitting president in 2020.

 

The FBI flexed its investigative muscle in the tense period between Election Day and the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, not bothering to wait for the formal transition of power to President Joe Biden before it began digging.

 

About a month after Americans cast their ballots, while Trump remained in the Oval Office as a lame duck, then-FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich urged the FBI Field Office in Atlanta to start interviews “as soon as possible” into what the bureau branded an “election matter,” a Dec. 8, 2020 memo reveals.

 

FBI agents sprung into action, alerting the public corruption unit and opening an assessment into a Georgia hearing five days earlier in which Rudy Giuliani, acting as Trump’s attorney, aired suspicions of fraudulent voting and other irregularities.

Pope Pius IX, the last of the popes with temporal power over the Papal States, continued a smallpox vaccination campaign begun by Pope Pius VII and offered a small financial reward to those who were vaccinated. (CNS file photo)

 

When popes were king, they ordered all their subjects in the Papal States to be vaccinated, using punishments and rewards to convince the hesitant and making sure the poor and the prisoners were inoculated as well.

 

Vatican News recounted how, as a smallpox epidemic swept central Italy at the end of the 1700s and beginning of the 1800s, Pope Pius VII threw the full weight of his temporal power behind a vaccination campaign.

 

The text of a law promulgated June 20, 1822, by Pope Pius' secretary of state, Cardinal Ercole Consalvi, described the new smallpox vaccine as a gift "put in place by divine providence" as a sign of God's "paternal love to save his children."

 

But the text noted that not everyone saw the vaccine as a gift, and it denounced appearances that "a deep-rooted prejudice was stronger in some parents than the love of their offspring."

 

"The legislation specified that to obtain subsidies, benefits or premiums, it was necessary to provide the 'certificate showing that the applicant, being the father of a family, has had the vaccination,'" said the Vatican News report May 7.

 

Refusing the vaccine was defined as "reprehensible conduct" punishable by a loss of benefits.

 

The pope set up committees to oversee the vaccination campaign and tied the licensing of physicians to their willingness to vaccinate patients, the report said.

OPINION ANALYSIS

Supreme Court strikes down tariffs.

By Amy Howe on Feb 20, 2026

 

In a major ruling on presidential power, the Supreme Court on Friday struck down the sweeping tariffs that President Donald Trump imposed in a series of executive orders. By a vote of 6-3, the justices ruled that the tariffs exceed the powers given to the president by Congress under a 1977 law providing him the authority to regulate commerce during national emergencies created by foreign threats.

 

The court did not weigh in, however, on whether or how the federal government should provide refunds to the importers who have paid the tariffs, estimated in 2025 at more than $200 billion.

 

The law at the center of the case is the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, known as IEEPA,which authorizes the president to use the law “to deal with any unusual and extraordinary threat, which has its source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States, if the president declares a national emergency with respect to such threat.” A separate provision of the law provides that when there is a national emergency, the president may “regulate … importation or exportation” of “property in which any foreign country or a national thereof has any interest.”

 

The dispute at the center of Friday’s opinion began last year, when Trump issued a series of executive orders imposing the tariffs. Lawsuits filed by small businesses and a group of states, all of which say that they are affected by the increased tariffs, were filed in the lower courts, which agreed with the challengers that IEEPA did not authorize Trump’s tariffs. But those rulings were put on hold, allowing the government to continue to collect the tariffs while the Supreme Court proceedings moved forward.

 

In a splintered decision on Friday, the Supreme Court agreed with the challengers that IEEPA did not give Trump the power to impose the tariffs. “Based on two words separated by 16 others in … IEEPA—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “Those words,” he continued, “cannot bear such weight.” “IEEPA,” Roberts added, “contains no reference to tariffs or duties.” Moreover, “until now no President has read IEEPA to confer such power.”

 

In a part of the opinion joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Roberts said that Trump’s reliance on IEEPA to impose the tariffs violated the “major questions” doctrine – the idea that if Congress wants to delegate the power to make decisions of vast economic or political significance, it must do so clearly. “When Congress has delegated its tariff powers,” Roberts said, “it has done so in explicit terms, and subject to strict limits,” a test that Trump’s tariffs failed here.

 

The court’s three Democratic appointees – Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson – joined another part of the Roberts opinion, holding that Trump’s tariffs were also not supported by the text of IEEPA. “The U.S. Code,”Roberts noted, “is replete with statutes granting the Executive the authority to ‘regulate’ someone or something. Yet the Government cannot identify any statute in which the power to regulate includes the power to tax.”(that is stretching and stupid. This history is right the SC usually never gets involved in complex matters.)

 

Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. In his view, Trump had the authority under IEEPA to impose the tariffs because they “are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.” Moreover, he suggested, although “I firmly disagree with the Court’s holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President’s ability to order tariffs going forwardbecause numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs at issue in this case.”

 

Kavanaugh also warned that “[i]n the meantime, however, the interim effects of the Court’s decision could be substantial. The United States may be required to refund billions of dollars to importers who paid the IEEPA tariffs, even though some importers may have already passed on costs to consumers or others.”

Here are the main alternative laws the president could use (or has used in the past) to impose tariffs:

 

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974

Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974

Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930

 

These alternatives are more constrained than IEEPA—often requiring investigations, findings, consultations, time limits, or congressional involvement—which could slow implementation or invite challenges. The administration has indicated it plans to pivot to these statutes to reimpose similar measures where possible. Some existing tariffs (e.g., on steel/aluminum under Section 232) were not impacted by this decision.

February 20, 2026

 

Summary

  • US President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday he may be "considering" a limited strike on Iran.

  • US President Donald Trump’s 10–15 day deadline for Iran to reach a nuclear deal coincides with a March 2 IAEA board meeting that may censure Tehran, Bloomberg reported, noting Israel launched strikes within 24 hours of an agency censure in June.

  • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that the United States had not demanded zero uranium enrichment in nuclear talks and that discussions in Geneva had focused on ensuring Iran’s program remains peaceful through diplomacy.

  • Amnesty International said at least 30 people, including children, were at risk of execution in Iran over alleged links to the January uprising, warning that several had been sentenced to death after what it described as unfair trials and reports of torture.

  • US President Donald Trump on Thursday signaled a nearly two-week deadline for Iran to reach a nuclear deal, warning that an agreement would be achieved “one way or the other” if diplomacy fails.

Bipartisan US lawmakers oppose Iran war powers resolution

Two bipartisan lawmakers announced on Friday they oppose a congressional bid to limit the use of force against Iran, arguing the measure would constrain Washington’s ability to respond to what they described as an evolving threat from Tehran.

In a joint statement, Representatives Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Mike Lawler, a Republican from New York, said they would oppose the bipartisan Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution, which seeks to require explicit congressional authorization for military action against Iran.

The lawmakers framed their stance around security concerns, saying the United States must retain operational flexibility. “This resolution would restrict the flexibility needed to respond to real and evolving threats and risks signaling weakness at a dangerous moment.”

Iran lawmaker says US carrier proximity not necessarily sign of war

A member of the Iranian parliament's national security commission said the approach of US aircraft carriers toward Iran does not automatically indicate an imminent conflict.

Salar Velayatmadar said that whenever an American carrier moved to within roughly 700 to 800 kilometers of Iran, officials would even grant leave to forces because they did not expect war.

“When the US carrier gets that close, it is effectively like an easy target within our range, and no rational actor would take such a risk,” he said.

Velayatmadar added that the situation should be viewed as more serious when US naval forces increase their distance from Iran.

US pulls fighter jets from NATO exercise in Norway over Iran tensions

The United States is withdrawing much of its planned air power, including F-35 fighter jets, from the NATO exercise Cold Response in northern Norway due to rising tensions with Iran, Norwegian newspaper Fremover reported.

Norway’s armed forces confirmed to Fremover that some US forces would not take part and would be deployed elsewhere.

The move comes as Washington builds up military assets in the Middle East amid the risk of a wider conflict with Iran. The exercise will continue with remaining forces, according to the report.

UN experts urge Iran to disclose detainees’ fate, halt executions

UN human rights experts urged Iranian authorities on Friday to disclose the fate and whereabouts of people detained, forcibly disappeared or missing after nationwide protests and to halt all death sentences and executions linked to the demonstrations.

“The true scale of the violent crackdown on Iranian protesters remains impossible to determine at this point,” the experts said in a statement, citing discrepancies between official figures and estimates by rights groups.

Iran International has reported that more than 36,500 people were killed in a two-day crackdown in January and that tens of thousands were arrested.

The experts called on Iran to release those arbitrarily detained, restore full internet access and ensure independent investigations into alleged violations, warning that without transparency “we will assume the worst.”

Araghchi says US has not sought zero enrichment in nuclear talks

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday that the United States has not asked Tehran to permanently stop uranium enrichment, pushing back on reports that Washington was demanding zero enrichment.

Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Araghchi said recent talks in Geneva had been constructive and that both sides had agreed on guiding principles for a possible deal.

“The US side has not asked for zero enrichment,” he said, adding that Iran had not offered to suspend enrichment either.

“What we are now talking about is how to make sure that Iran’s nuclear program, including enrichment, is peaceful and would remain peaceful forever,” he said.

 

Araghchi said there was “no military solution” to Iran’s nuclear program and that the only path forward was diplomacy, adding that Iran was prepared for both negotiation and war.

He said technical measures were under discussion to ensure the program remains peaceful, and noted that International Atomic Energy Agency chief Rafael Grossi had played a constructive role in recent negotiations.

He also said the two sides had agreed to prepare a draft framework for a possible agreement and would begin negotiating its language at their next meeting, calling the process “a normal way of any international negotiations.”

Araghchi said Iran was ready for diplomacy but warned that if attacked again, it would defend itself, adding that after the previous 12-day conflict its “enemies had no way but to ask for an unconditional ceasefire.”

France reacts to murder of Catholic convert Quentin Deranque

 

The killing of a 23-year-old Catholic convert and pro-life activist in Lyon has sent shockwaves through France, prompting a national outcry and a major criminal investigation.

 

Quentin Deranque died in hospital in Lyon on February 14, two days after he was violently assaulted following a pro-Palestinian conference organised by La France Insoumise at the Lyon Institute of Political Studies, commonly known as Sciences Po Lyon. The event was hosted by Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament affiliated with the party.

Epstein estate to pay $35 million to settle sex abuse claims

 

Two of the late financier’s top aides join the settlement to finally resolve claims from at least 40 women

 

The estate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has agreed to pay up to $35 million to settle a class-action lawsuit, according to a court filing from Thursday.

 

The suit accused two of the financier’s advisers of aiding and abetting his sex trafficking of young women and teenage girls.

 

The lawsuit was initially filed in 2024 against Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, both of whom served for years as Epstein’s personal lawyer and accountant, respectively.

 

Boies Schiller Flexner, the law firm representing Epstein’s alleged victims, announced the settlement in a filing in a federal court in Manhattan. Under the terms of the proposed settlement, Epstein’s estate would also be joined as a defendant in the case.

 

The settlement, reached with Indyke and Kahn, aims to “finally, and forever” resolve claims from victims who say they were “sexually assaulted or abused or trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein between January 1, 1995, and through August 10, 2019,” the date of his death in prison.

 

Indyke and Kahn, who have not been accused of abusing women or witnessing any such abuse, have denied all liability to Epstein’s victims and agreed to the settlement terms without admitting wrongdoing.

 

“Because they did nothing wrong, the co-executors were prepared to fight the claims against them through to trial, but agreed to mediate and settle this lawsuit in order to achieve finality as to any potential claims against the Epstein Estate,” NBC quoted their lawyer Daniel H. Weiner as saying.

 

The proposed agreement, which requires approval from a federal judge in New York to become final, provides for a total payout of $35 million to the group – estimated by their attorney to include at least 40 eligible women – or $25 million if fewer than 40 qualify.

 

The payout follows a prior distribution of $121 million to 136 claimants through the Epstein Victims Compensation Program, as well as a subsequent $48 million settlement covering 59 victims.

 

The release of the Epstein files has sparked a wave of resignations worldwide. The fallout hit hardest in the UK, where three senior officials in Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government stepped down and King Charles’s brother Andrew lost his titles.

With Shaky Reasoning, Trump Weighs Limited Initial Strike On Iran To Force A Deal

 

Having amassed the heaviest US air power in the Middle East since the disastrous 2003 Iraq invasion, President Trump is now considering an initial, limited strike on Iran to force it to bow to the maximalist demands of Israel and the United States. The idea is based on two deeply questionable premises:

 

that air strikes alone will compel Iran to give up its defensive ballistic missile capabilities, and halt all nuclear enrichment

that Iran won't retaliate for an American "limited strike" in a way that sends the United States, Israel, Iran and perhaps even Russia and China racing up an escalation ladder

Reported by the Wall Street Journal, the single-strike scenario is an alternative to the idea of a sustained, weeks-long military campaign that would not only target nuclear sites, but also state and security facilities. The Pentagon has been actively planning for such an onslaught, and one official told Reuters that the administration fully expects such a campaign would trigger Iranian retaliation and a series of strikes and reprisals that last far longer than last summer's 12-day war that was initiated by Israel.

 

While Israel-catering warmongers like to portray Iranian leaders as unstable religious zealots, the Iranian government has demonstrated enormous restraint in the face of decades of economic and military warfare. In addition to last year's war started by Israel, other extreme provocations have included the 2020 US killing of Iranian general and Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani, an April 2024 Israeli attack on Iran's consulate in Syria, and a long-running series of Israeli assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists.

 

However, the era of Iranian strategic restraint may be over. "Unlike the restraint Iran showed in June 2025, our powerful armed forces have no qualms about firing back with everything we have if we come under renewed attack,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote in January.

 

Elsewhere, Iran has said that, "in the event that it is subjected to military aggression, all bases, facilities, and assets of the hostile force in the region would constitute legitimate targets." More pointedly, Ayatollah Khamenei has conjured imagery of US sailors being condemned to a watery grave by Trump's initiation of war:

15 Children Killed in Drone Strike on Displacement Camp in Sudan

Fri 20 Feb 2026 | 12:16 PM

 

At least 15 children were killed and several others injured in a drone strike on a displacement camp in West Kordofan, Sudan, according to UNICEF.

In a statement issued late Wednesday and reported by Agence France-Presse, UNICEF said preliminary reports indicate that at least 15 children were killed and 10 others wounded in the attack, which targeted a camp for internally displaced people in the city of Al Sunut on Monday.

The agency did not specify who was responsible for the strike.

 

Communications remain largely cut off in West Kordofan, where the Rapid Support Forces control most areas. Residents have limited access to communication services, relying intermittently on satellite internet connections such as Starlink.

Kordofan, a region rich in oil reserves and agricultural land, serves as a strategic corridor linking Darfur in the west, largely under Rapid Support Forces control, to Khartoum and eastern Sudan, where the national army maintains authority.

 

Sudan has been engulfed in conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces since April 2023.

The fighting has resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and displaced more than 11 million people, creating what the United Nations describes as the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

Three Killed as Drone Attack Targets Humanitarian Convoy in Sudan

Friday, February 20, 2026 at 10:01 AM

 

Three people lost their lives and four aid workers sustained injuries Thursday when drones targeted a humanitarian convoy transporting essential supplies through Sudan’s conflict-torn Kordofan region, according to medical monitoring groups.

The Sudan Doctors Network reported on social media that the vehicles were delivering food and emergency aid to Kadugli city and Dilling town in South Kordofan when the attack occurred in the Kartala area.

The medical group attributed the drone assault to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), though the specific aid organization operating the convoy remains unknown.

 

Sudan has been engulfed in civil war since April 2023, with fighting between the RSF and government military forces spreading nationwide.

The World Health Organization reports that the conflict has claimed at least 40,000 lives and forced 12 million people from their homes. Aid organizations warn the actual casualty count may be significantly higher due to limited access to remote combat zones.

 

The Kordofan region has become the latest battleground, where humanitarian groups and security analysts document increasing drone attacks that disrupt relief efforts and harm civilians.

This occurs despite military claims of regaining control and lifting sieges in Kadugli and Dilling. February alone saw 77 civilian deaths from drone warfare across Kordofan.

 

United Nations agencies announced Wednesday that a convoy successfully reached Dilling and Kadugli with assistance for over 130,000 residents – marking the first substantial aid delivery in three months.

Nevertheless, relief workers express growing alarm over the intensifying violence.

 

This marks the second assault on humanitarian convoys within a month, the Sudan Doctors Network noted. Earlier in the month, attackers struck a World Food Program convoy in North Kordofan.

Meanwhile, a UN-supported investigative team released findings Thursday concluding that RSF actions in el-Fasher, North Darfur’s capital, during late October displayed “hallmarks of genocide.”

In response to these findings, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on three RSF commanders involved in el-Fasher operations and demanded the group agree to an immediate ceasefire.

Five European powers plan joint drone push to counter Russian threat and bolster Nato security

February 20, 2026, 17:14:23 IST

 

Europe’s five leading military powers are preparing to roll out a joint initiative focused on investing in military drones as part of broader efforts to strengthen the continent’s defence industry against the backdrop of Russia’s war in Ukraine and rising questions over the United States’ long-term commitment to Nato.

A document reviewed by Reuters, along with confirmation from a Polish defence ministry official, indicates that the five nations plan to collaborate on the development of autonomous drones.

 

The conflict in Ukraine has highlighted the effectiveness of autonomous interceptor drones, which have emerged as a lower-cost alternative to expensive air-defence missile systems.

European partners backing Kyiv are now looking to incorporate lessons learned from the battlefield into their own defence strategies.

 

The European Group of Five Defence Ministers comprising France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Britain is scheduled to meet in Krakow, Poland, on Friday. The grouping includes Europe’s largest defence spenders.

The talks come as European governments seek to reinforce their defence capabilities amid growing doubts across the continent about Washington’s readiness to uphold its security commitments through the Nato alliance.

 

A draft statement viewed by Reuters, which remains subject to revision, notes that the ministers “support a real increase in the production capacity of the European defence industrial base” and “welcome the EU’s commitment to providing Member states with increased fiscal flexibility for defence spending and to create lending instruments”.

At the same time, the document emphasises that while the European Union can play a supportive role, defence capabilities continue to rest primarily with individual member states at the national level.

 

The ministers also pledge to work together within Nato and the EU to counter Russian hybrid threats, and to continue supporting Ukraine and efforts to find peace, the statement said.

”We agree to launch the Low-Cost Effectors and Autonomous Platforms (LEAP) initiative,” the statement seen by Reuters said. It said the aim was ”to increase our cooperation on the development and procurement of low-cost effectors and autonomous platforms to deliver military effect.”

In military terminology, ”effectors” are the components of a system which produce a physical effect, while ”autonomous platforms” are unmanned systems capable of independent decision-making.

The "Hole Through the Fence" (Not the Obstacle)

 

This ruling is narrow—it only closes one door (IEEPA as a blank-check tariff tool). It does not ban tariffs or cripple trade policy. Here's the clear path forward:

 

Other statutes remain fully available (explicitly noted in the opinion as unaffected):

 

Section 232 (Trade Expansion Act of 1962) — national security tariffs (used successfully before on steel/aluminum).

Section 301 (Trade Act of 1974) — unfair trade practices (China IP, subsidies).

Section 201 safeguards, antidumping/countervailing duties (ITA processes), etc.

These have survived judicial review precisely because Congress spoke clearly.

 

Congress can (and often does) legislate new authority — The decision actually strengthens the case for bipartisan tariff legislation if needed, putting the power back where the Constitution places it.

Negotiated deals & exemptions — The opinion highlights that many of the challenged tariffs were already being adjusted downward via agreements (UK, Japan, China commitments). Diplomacy + targeted tools = continued leverage without IEEPA overreach.

Emergency declarations still work for non-tariff tools — Sanctions, blocks, asset freezes, quotas—all untouched.

 

In short: The Court said "not this statute, not this way." It did not say "no tariffs ever." The fence has a wide-open gate labeled "Use the statutes Congress actually wrote for tariffs" or "Get Congress to pass clearer authority." This is a procedural and textual guardrail, not a substantive blockade.

The decision reinforces constitutional structure while leaving the executive toolkit intact for legitimate trade enforcement. Game on—different tools, same goals achievable.

The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.

On a whim….

 

We have seen how non-profits and political foundations are fronts for access, influence, laundering money.

 

What about the government/CIA laundering technology to Silicon Valley via In-Q-Tel?

Jared Soares for Fortune

 

"Imagine you’re the CEO of a small Silicon Valley company that sells a compelling little device. It’s a next-generation communicator, the size of a wad of gum, that fits snugly over the user’s back tooth.

 

"The “Molar Mic” captures the voice with high fidelity, even in surroundings of extreme noise, and wirelessly transmits audio signals to the wearer by vibrating the nerves of the inner ear. It makes the Airpod-to-iPhone interface look like tin cans on a string, and you can just imagine how valuable it might be to, say, a commando in a firefight.It’s the kind of gadget the tech genius “Q” would hand to James Bond before he goes out on a mission—except that it’s totally real.

 

"Normally, you’d be thrilled if Fortune called you up with a chance to tell the world about it. But there’s one, huge problem: Because real-life national-security types are your ideal customers for the Molar Mic—indeed, may already be buying it—you’re forbidden from talking about it very much at all.

 

“I can’t,” Peter Hadrovic, the company’s CEO, tells me. “ I know it seems weird that I’ve got all this publicity here I’m walking away from, but…”

 

"Hadrovic’s company is called Integrated Tactical Technologies. On its website, the company goes by the acronym “iT2,” an aptly opaque choice for a business that’s the opposite of public-facing.

 

"There’s a fraught pause. Hadrovic looks off into the low middle distance. He’s 6-foot-9 and still built like a skinny center, the tall-man position he played on Princeton’s basketball team. “Can’t talk about it,” he says, breaking into an apologetic smile. “I’m not selling it to anybody who I can say I’m selling it to.”

 

"He’s not saying he’s selling it to real-life James Bonds. But he’s not not saying that, either. And he didn’t turn down the interview outright, because he very much wants to say nice things about a stealthy venture capital fund called In-Q-Tel, whose 2009 investment made building the device possible.

 

“There’s no way the Molar Mic exists, but for In-Q-Tel,” Hadrovic says.

…"

SCOTUS TAKEAWAY -

The Hidden Victory

 

The MOST IMPORTANT takeaway - for me - from today’s SCOTUS decision on the Trump Tariffs has nothing to do with trade - it’s about precedent.

 

During oral argument - Justice Gorsuch asked the administration’s lawyer an extremely important question.

 

He cornered the administration and simply asked: If the Court upholds these tariffs, can a future President unilaterally declare a “CLIMATE EMERGENCY” to bypass Congress and impose their own agenda?

 

The administration’s lawyer was forced to reluctantly agree and say, “yes.”

 

Now, as scary as it might be - just for a very brief moment - imagine President

@AOC

or

@GavinNewsom

or a President

@maura_healey

What looks like a defeat today might actually be the firewall that saves tomorrow.

Alternative paths for TRUMP TARIFFS

 

Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962: Allows tariffs or restrictions on imports threatening national security. No cap on rates or duration; requires a Commerce Department investigation and findings. Trump used this extensively in both terms (e.g., steel/aluminum, autos, copper, lumber, furniture). Many existing Section 232 tariffs remain unaffected by the ruling, and new/expanded investigations (e.g., on semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals) could add more.

 

Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974: Permits tariffs in response to unfair trade practices, violations of trade agreements, or discriminatory actions by other countries. Handled by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) after investigation. No rate limit; Trump used it heavily against China in his first term and could launch new probes to target partners.

 

Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974: Authorizes temporary worldwide tariffs (up to 15%) or quotas to address large balance-of-payments deficits or international payments problems. Quick to implement with minimal process; limited to 150 days unless Congress extends. Often cited as a fast "replacement" for broad IEEPA tariffs, though at a lower rate cap.

 

Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930: An older, rarely used provision allowing up to 50% duties on imports from countries discriminating against U.S. commerce. Could target specific discriminatory practices.

 

Other/niche authorities: Additional targeted actions under laws like the Trade Act of 1974 or negotiated rulemaking, plus potential congressional legislation for broader authorization (though unlikely given political dynamics).

Cartel and Chinese Drones Demand Immediate FAA Action

February 20, 2026

 

Drones are increasingly violating American airspace. We know that tens of thousands of drone sightings on our southern border are connected with the Mexican drug and human trafficking cartels.

But dozens of other drone sightings at sensitive military installations suggest hostile nation-state actors, most likely China.

 

As drone operations in Russia’s war on Ukraine show, the threat is no longer hypothetical — it is active and escalating. Unfortunately, a dangerous combination of bureaucratic inertia and misplaced priorities has left our borders and military installations vulnerable.

In December 2023, Langley Air Force Base in Virginia endured 17 consecutive nights of drone incursions, some involving craft up to 20 feet in length.

Despite clear sightings and briefings that reached the White House, proposals to jam signals, deploy directed energy weapons, or shoot the drones down were rejected as “too risky.”

To this day, no official explanation has been provided, and no one has been held accountable.

 

In New Jersey, 11 months later, drones were reported over Picatinny Arsenal, a 6,400-acre U.S. Army research and manufacturing facility, as well as over Naval Weapons Station Earle.

After weeks of public alarm and official confusion, then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said, “I want to assure the American public that we in the federal government have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings.”

He went on to ambiguously remark, “Some of those drone sightings are, in fact, drones …”

 

By Dec. 16, five weeks before Donald J. Trump was sworn in for his second term, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration, and Department of Defense issued a statement, disclaiming any threat, noting that the sitings were of “… lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones and law enforcement drones, as well as manned fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and stars mistakenly reported as drones.”

Yet Stewart International Airport, 60 miles north of New York City, shut down due to the perceived drone threat, while the FAA issued temporary flight restrictions over Picatinny Arsenal and Bedminster, New Jersey, suggesting that something was amiss.

Eventually, federal officials attributed most incidents to lawful commercial drones and misidentified aircraft. Public fears subsided.

But along the southern border, the threat is clear and continuous. Cartels operate thousands of drones annually — estimates exceed 60,000 sightings along or over the border, all in the latter half of 2024.

The cartels operate the drones for four main purposes: surveillance, drug smuggling, counter-surveillance, and airspace denial — as drone swarms can prevent U.S. government helicopters from safely operating in the vicinity.

Some cartel operatives have reportedly traveled to Ukraine to study advanced drone warfare, tactics now being turned against U.S. Border Patrol agents as well as rival cartels.

 

The sudden airspace closure over El Paso on Feb. 11 happened because someone finally decided to act. Depending on reports, U.S. forces neutralized at least one cartel drone — or an errant party balloon.

Eyewitness accounts reported to the Daily Mail described a large hovering object releasing smaller drones near the border around the time of the incident, contradicting claims by some that authorities had merely downed a stray Mylar balloon.

 

The FAA’s initial response — a 10-day shutdown imposed without advance notice to the White House, Pentagon, or local officials — suggested less a safety measure than an act of bureaucratic retaliation in the form of malicious compliance.

At the heart of the problem lies the Federal Aviation Administration’s singular focus on civilian air travel safety at the expense of national security.

Counter-drone technologies — jammers, lasers, kinetic interceptors — require exhaustive FAA safety certification borne of modern safetyism that demands zero risk.

These demands are effectively impossible to meet; endless testing and risk assessments guarantee delay. When disputes arise over testing protocols, as reportedly occurred before the El Paso closure, the FAA resorts to drastic measures that aim to punish government rivals rather than protect the American public.

 

The FAA’s emphasis on airspace safety — heightened after the deadly January 2025 Reagan Washington National Airport midair collision and anti-drone tests in the D.C. area two months later — has fueled caution on counter-drone technologies that risk interfering with manned aircraft systems.

Yet this tragedy is a false analogy, having nothing to do with anti-drone technology, which operates within very clear and predictable parameters.

 

Langley and the border tell a different story: Persistent threats met with a bureaucratic maze that results in hesitation or inaction.

As a consequence, mystery drones over military bases or crossing the border go unchallenged. Cartels and nation-state adversaries, likely China, exploit our indecision.

 

America’s skies must not be surrendered to the cartels or hostile operators.

Border Patrol and the military need clear authority to deploy counter-drone systems in sensitive areas without endless FAA vetoes.

Rules of engagement must be streamlined and regulators held accountable to prevent “safety” or process from protecting our airspace.

Israeli Settlers Kill 19-Year-Old Palestinian American in the West Bank

 

Jewish settlers in the West Bank killed a 19-year-old Palestinian American on Thursday as settler violence continues to surge in the Israeli-occupied territory.

 

According to Haaretz, Nasrallah Abu Siam was shot during a settler attack on the village of Mukhmas in the central West Bank, and he later succumbed to his wounds. Two other Palestinians were injured by the gunfire.

 

An eyewitness told the Israeli newspaper that after the settlers shot Abu Siam, they “crowded around him, hit him with clubs and stones, and nearly killed him. They behaved like animals. There was no humanity in them.”

 

Raed Abu Ali, a resident of Mukhamas, told The Associated Press that when Israeli troops were deployed to the town during the attack and fired tear gas and live ammunition, emboldening the settlers. “When the settlers saw the army, they were encouraged and started shooting live bullets,” he said.

 

The IDF acknowledged that its forces conducted “riot dispersal methods” in the area but denied that Israeli troops used live ammunition. During the attack, settlers stole livestock, and Haaretz reported that footage shows settlers leading dozens of sheep away from the village.

 

Abu Siyam’s mother told the AP that he was an American citizen. Last year, two US citizens were killed by settler attacks in the West Bank, including Sayfollah Musallet, a 20-year-old from Florida who was beaten to death by settlers while visiting family in the Palestinian territory.

 

Khamis Ayyad, another Palestinian American who was in his 40s, died of smoke inhalation while trying to put out fires set by settlers during an attack on a West Bank village in August 2025.

To show you how ridiculous the opinion is, the Court said that I’m not allowed to charge even $1 DOLLAR to any Country under IEEPA, I assume to protect other Countries, not the United States which they should be interested in protecting — But I am allowed to cut off any and all Trade or Business with that same Country, even imposing a Foreign Country destroying embargo, and do anything else I want to do to them — How nonsensical is that? They are saying that I have the absolute right to license, but not the right to charge a license fee. What license has ever been issued without the right to charge a fee? But now the Court has given me the unquestioned right to ban all sorts of things from coming into our Country, a much more powerful Right than many people thought we had.

 

Our Country is the “HOTTEST” anywhere in the World, but now, I am going in a different direction, which is even stronger than our original choice. As Justice Kavanaugh wrote in his Dissent:

 

“Although I firmly disagree with the Court's holding today, the decision might not substantially constrain a President's ability to order tariffs going forward. That is because numerous other federal statutes authorize the President to impose tariffs and might justify most (if not all) of the tariffs issued in this case…Those statutes include, for example, the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (Section 232); the Trade Act of 1974 (Sections 122, 201, and 301); and the Tariff Act of 1930 (Section 338).”

 

Thank you Justice Kavanaugh!

 

In actuality, while I am sure they did not mean to do so, the Supreme Court’s decision today made a President’s ability to both regulate Trade, and impose TARIFFS, more powerful and crystal clear, rather than less. There will no longer be any doubt, and the Income coming in, and the protection of our Companies and Country, will actually increase because of this decision. Based on longstanding Law and Hundreds of Victories to the contrary, the Supreme Court did not overrule TARIFFS, they merely overruled a particular use of IEEPA TARIFFS. The ability to block, embargo, restrict, license, or impose any other condition on a Foreign Country’s ability to conduct Trade with the United States under IEEPA, has been fully confirmed by this decision. In order to protect our Country, a President can actually charge more TARIFFS than I was charging in the past under the various other TARIFF authorities, which have also been confirmed, and fully allowed.

 

Therefore, effective immediately, all National Security TARIFFS, Section 232 and existing Section 301 TARIFFS, remain in place, and in full force and effect. Today I will sign an Order to impose a 10% GLOBAL TARIFF, under Section 122, over and above our normal TARIFFS already being charged, and we are also initiating several Section 301 and other Investigations to protect our Country from unfair Trading practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

President Trump: The ability to block, embargo, restrict, license, or impose any other condition on a foreign countries ability to conduct trade with the United States under IEEPA, has been fully confirmed by this decision…in order to protect; and it says so, in order to protect our country, a president can actually charge more tariffs than I was charging in the past period of a year. Under the various tariff authorities. So we can use other of the statutes, other of the tariff authorities, which have also been confirmed and are fully allowed. Therefore, effective immediately, all National Security tariffs under Section 232, and existing Section 301 tariffs; they're existing. They're there. Remain in place. Fully in place. And in full force and effect. Today I will sign an order to impose a ten percent global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.

The Supreme Court’s Ruling on TARIFFS is deeply disappointing! I am ashamed of certain Members of the Court for not having the Courage to do what is right for our Country. I would like to thank and congratulate Justices Thomas, Alito, and Kavanaugh for your Strength, Wisdom, and Love of our Country, which is right now very proud of you. When you read the dissenting opinions, there is no way that anyone can argue against them. Foreign Countries that have been ripping us off for years are ecstatic, and dancing in the streets — But they won’t be dancing for long! The Democrats on the Court are thrilled, but they will automatically vote “NO” against ANYTHING that makes America Strong and Healthy Again. They, also, are a Disgrace to our Nation. Others think they’re being “politically correct,” which has happened before, far too often, with certain Members of this Court when, in fact, they’re just FOOLS and “LAPDOGS” for the RINOS and Radical Left Democrats and, not that this should have anything to do with it, very unpatriotic, and disloyal to the Constitution. It is my opinion that the Court has been swayed by Foreign Interests, and a Political Movement that is far smaller than people would think — But obnoxious, ignorant, and loud!

 

This was an important case to me, more as a symbol of Economic and National Security, than anything else. The Good News is that there are methods, practices, Statutes, and other Authorities, as recognized by the entire Court and Congress, that are even stronger than the IEEPA TARIFFS, available to me as President of the United States of America and, in actuality, I was very modest in my “ask” of other Countries and Businesses because I wanted to do nothing that could sway the decision that has been rendered by the Court.

 

I have very effectively utilized TARIFFS over the past year to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Our Stock Market has just recently broken the 50,000 mark on the DOW and, simultaneously, 7,000 on the S&P, two numbers that everybody thought, upon our Landslide Election Victory, could not be attained until the very end of my Administration — Four years! TARIFFS have, likewise, been used to end five of the eight Wars that I settled, have given us Great National Security and, together with our Strong Border, reduced Fentanyl coming into our Country by 30%, when I use them as a penalty against Countries illegally sending this poison to us. All of those TARIFFS remain, but other alternatives will now be used to replace the ones that the Court incorrectly rejected.

All of Europe 9.5M Jewish people lived. Hitler killed 6M and 3.8M collected reparations.

My question is how did Hitler round up all the Jewish people in Moscow Madrid and London?

 

When you dig a littler deeper 2.4M Jewish people lived under Nazi Germany and 3.8M collected reparations

Silicon Valley Engineers Charged With Stealing Trade Secrets From Leading Tech Companies And Transferring Confidential Data To Unauthorized Locations, Including Iran

 

SAN JOSE – A federal grand jury has indicted three Silicon Valley engineers on charges of conspiring to commit trade secret theft from Google and other leading technology companies, theft and attempted theft of trade secrets, and obstruction of justice. Samaneh Ghandali, 41, Mohammadjavad Khosravi aka Mohammad Khosravi, 40, and Soroor Ghandali, 32, all of San Jose, were arrested today and made their initial appearances in federal district court in San Jose this afternoon.

 

According to the indictment filed yesterday and unsealed today, the defendants gained employment at leading technology companies in the area of mobile computer processors. Samaneh Ghandali and Soroor Ghandali, who are sisters, worked at Google before going on to work for another technology company identified as Company 3, and Khosravi, who is married to Samaneh Ghandali, worked at a technology company identified as Company 2.

 

As part of the alleged scheme to commit trade secret theft, the defendants used their employment to obtain access to confidential and sensitive information. The defendants then exfiltrated confidential and sensitive documents, including trade secrets related to processor security and cryptography and other technologies, from Google and other technology companies to unauthorized third-party and personal locations, including to work devices associated with each other’s employers, and to Iran.

 

“As alleged, the defendants exploited their positions to steal confidential trade secrets from their employers. Our office will continue to lead the way in protecting American innovation and we will vigorously prosecute individuals who steal sensitive advanced technologies for improper gain or to benefit countries that wish us ill,” said United States Attorney Craig H. Missakian.

 

“The alleged actions outlined in this indictment reflect a calculated betrayal of trust by individuals accused of stealing trade secrets from the very tech companies that employed them. According to the allegations, the method in which confidential data was transferred by the defendants involved deliberate steps to evade detection and conceal their identities,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani. “Protecting Silicon Valley innovation and defending the groundbreaking technologies that drive our economy and national security is a top priority for the FBI. We will continue to work with our private sector partners to hold accountable anyone who seeks to unlawfully exploit American ingenuity,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Sanjay Virmani.

 

The indictment describes that while employed at Google, Samaneh Ghandali transferred hundreds of files, including Google trade secrets, to a third-party communications platform, specifically to channels bearing each of the defendants’ first names. Soroor Ghandali likewise is alleged to have transferred numerous Google files, including trade secrets, to these channels while employed by Google. These Google trade secrets were later copied to various personal devices and Khosravi’s Company 2 work device, as well as Soroor Ghandali’s Company 3 work device.

President Trump: I think that foreign interests are represented by people that I believe have undue influence; they have a lot of influence over the Supreme Court. Whether it's through fear, or respect, or friendships, I don't know. But I know some of the people that were involved on the other side, and I don't like 'em. I think they're real slimeballs.

Katie Hopkins destroys "t*t whisperer" Zack Polanski: "Gay Jew leading Muslims to vote Green!"

 

A terrifying electoral stitch up between the Islamist group The Muslim Vote and the dangerously woke Greens – led by the treacherous tit whisperer Zack Polanski – means the Gorton and Denton by-election is now a battle for the soul of the Disunited Kingdom and whether we are really going to allow an Islamist takeover in plain sight.

And that’s what’s at stake as Mohammed Hijab outlined the plot in the Netherlands at the weekend.

Katie Hopkins is now even warning of the risks of a rigged election, as she goes to war with Polanski.

In his Digest, Dan explains why this by-election represents a straight up battle between Christianity and Islamism.

Trump Says ‘War Is Over’ in Gaza Despite Israel Killing Over 600 Palestinians Since Ceasefire Deal Was Signed

 

At least two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces over the past day, according to Gaza's Health Ministry

 

President Trump claimed at his first “Board of Peace” meeting on Thursday that the “war in Gaza is over” despite Israel’s repeated violations of the ceasefire deal, which have killed more than 600 Palestinians.

 

While declaring the conflict is over, Trump added that there have been “little flames,” an apparent acknowledgement of at least some ceasefire violations. Israeli attacks in Gaza continued as he held the meeting.

 

Israeli airstrikes and shelling were reported across Gaza on Thursday, and at least one Palestinian was injured by Israeli gunfire in the southern city of Khan Younis. Photos from Gaza show Palestinians at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis on Thursday mourning a man who was killed by Israeli fire in the area.

 

Gaza’s Health Ministry said on Thursday that at least two Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces over the previous 24-hour period, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed since the deal was signed in early October to 611. Another 1,630 Palestinians have been injured.

 

The Health Ministry’s numbers account for dead and wounded Palestinians brought to hospitals and morgues. “A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews have been unable to reach them so far,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.

Reporter: Why wouldn't you just work with congress to come up with a plan to push tariffs through?

President Trump: I don't have to. I have the right to do tariffs. And I've always had the right to do tariffs. And it's all been approved by congress, so there's no reason to do it.

Dead whale in Newport Beach, CA, gone from shoreline, likely from strong surf overnight

 

A dead sub-adult humpback whalefloats in the surf between 10th and 11th Streets on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, CA, on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. The 27-foot whale came onto shore at about 3 p.m. Officials at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center examined the whale and said their current plan is to wait to see if the coming storm brings the whale back out to sea.

A subadult humpback is comparable to a teenager in human years, PMMC said.

 

“Humpback whales are asentinel species,”said Dr. Alissa Deming, veterinarian and vice president of Conservation Medicine and Science at PMMC. “Everystranding represents both a loss and an opportunity …"
