Revenge Shall Be Mine Saith The Trumpet

An internal Pentagon email suggests the United States may have plans for ally countries not supporting the war with Iran, according to a new report.

Reuters, citing a US official familiar with the situation, reported on Friday about the alleged Pentagon email.

The options listed in the email include suspending Spain from the NATO alliance, “reassessing US diplomatic support for European ‘imperial possessions,’ to include Britain’s claim to the Falkland Islands near Argentina,” and suspending “difficult” countries from NATO, according to Reuters chief national security correspondent Phil Stewart.

Seeking Asylum Is Legal. Judge Axes Trump's Executive Order.

An appeals court on Friday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order suspending asylum access, a key pillar of the Republican president’s plan to crack down on migration at the southern border of the U.S.

A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found that immigration laws give people the right to apply for asylum at the border, and the president can’t circumvent that.

Mamdani said when announcing the veto, his first, that he worried the bill created “constitutional concerns … regarding New Yorkers’ fundamental right to protest.”

Release The UFO Files So We Can Concentrate on the Epstein Files!!

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told Piers Morgan on Tuesday that he’s certain aliens exist because he had seen “too much,” including “videos” and “pictures” shown to him by government officials.

During an interview with Burchett on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Morgan said, “Let me start with a very direct question. Do you believe aliens exist?”

“Yes, sir. I do,” replied Burchett, before arguing that several passages from the Bible were evidence of ancient astronauts. “We’ve seen too much. I’ve seen too much. Not myself personally, but out when I’ve been briefed by government officials. Video, pictures. Some of the best-trained pilots in the world have described having close collisions with some sort of aircraft or apparatus, and so I think it’s time that they come clean.”

Remember when it was wall to wall coverage of missing Nancy Guthrie like the media could not talk about anything else?

There are 11 missing or dead or suicided scientists all linked to space or military programs and the FBI just now opened a “probe.” - Marjorie Taylor Greene

My comment on UFOs.

I've seen many UFO sightings over my 76 years, most eventually explained away as our own experimental aircraft.

From 1989-2005 I lived near Pensacola Naval Station, Hurlburt Field, Special Ops and Eglin Air Force Base which is the largest Air Force base in the world by land area. So yeah, the skies were quite interesting.

In the early 2000s I saw a stealth bomber about 100 feet above me make a hard left impossible turn late at night. We have incredible technology. 

I also watched an hour long light show in the clouds, probably lasers, around 1 am.

Is there other life out there? Of course there is but have they visited earth? Show me the proof.

FBI Director Kash Patel, standing at a lectern beside his boss Tuesday, publicly addressed recent allegations that he has drank to excess, interfering with his duties.

“I’ve never been intoxicated on the job,” Patel told a room full of reporters Tuesday, after highlighting what he considers to be a string of law enforcement successes since the start of his tenure.

“This FBI director has been on the job twice as many days as every director before me,” Patel said.

Guess Who's Getting A Pardon.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted co-conspirator of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is again asking a federal judge in New York to vacate her sex trafficking conviction and release her from prison. 

Maxwell submitted her new request, which she wrote herself, to federal prosecutors in New York, who said they received "a FedEx envelope -- marked with a 'ship date' of April 16, 2026 -- that contained a USB drive with the defendant's amended motion and exhibits," according to a letter to the district court that was posted online early Monday morning.
