Washington -- As President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk work to overhaul the federal government, they are forcing out thousands of workers with insider knowledge and connections who now need a job. For Russia, China and other adversaries, the upheaval in Washington as Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency guts government agencies presents an unprecedented opportunity to recruit informants, national security andintelligence experts say. Every former federal worker with knowledge of or access to sensitive information or systems could be a target. When thousands of them leave their jobs at the same time, that creates a lot of targets, as...

GOD WILL NOT LET YOU FALL My family and I went camping this past summer. We took several hikes down the little river bed as it flowed through the Cuyamaca State Park near our home in San Diego. We stopped for a picnic lunch, and ate with our feet in the cool running water. As I ate my sandwich, I started tracing a trail through the rocks that shot up into the air in front of us. It was an old habit from days gone by of rock scrambling: no ropes, no hardware, no helmet, no brains! As teenagers,...

The Trump administration is evaluating plans for the Pentagon to take control of a buffer zone along a sprawling stretch of the southern border (the Roosevelt Reservation - the first sixty feet from Mexico, in California, Arizona and New Mexico) and empower active-duty U.S. troops to temporarily hold migrants who cross into the United States illegally... ...In effect, the move would turn the buffer zone into an expansive satellite military installation.

One of the biggest problems in today’s politics (at least in the West) is the tendency by politicians to compartmentalise everything. Now the optimist could say this is clear evidence that they are not totalitarian. That is at least partially true: Hitler and Stalin did not accept the idea that there is a private sphere separated from the state, that whatever the individual does must be evaluated in light of what this would mean for the Volkskoerper. They took an organic view on all societal matters, meaning that there was no true individual choice, only options that the state would...

Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wants protesters to rise up across the U.S. and Europe and challenge the renewed Israeli military campaign in Gaza. The Times of Israel reports Khamenei made his call for action in a speech designed to rally anti-Israel activists everywhere, “to strongly oppose this treacherous, horrendous act.” “Once again children are being killed, homes are being destroyed, and civilians are being displaced. The people must stop this tragedy,” Khamenei says in a Nowruz address, according to an English transcript posted on his website.

Donald Trump has decided to go 'nuclear' on the migrant crisis by allowing the military to take control of a 'buffer zone' near the Southern border with Mexico. Trump's ambitious plan would turn the 60-foot deep buffer zone into a military installation at the border and allow US troops to temporarily hold migrants who cross into America. A defense official told The Washington Post that the migrants would be held until legally detained by civilian law enforcement. The president has made fixing the migrant issue the top of his second term agenda and has seen success early on with illegal...

Representative Dusty Johnson has re-introduced the Traveler’s Gun Rights Act, a bill attending to a Second Amendment issue constraining firearms rights of those who do not use a permanent physical address, such as many active-duty military personnel and those who live and travel via RV. Companion legislation currently in the Senate is being led by Senator Mike Rounds, and both of these gentlemen are representatives of South Dakota, the state I like to call home and one that still represents strong American values and traditions. Johnson’s Traveler’s Gun-Rights Act seeks to correct the firearms purchasing process and strengthen Second Amendment...

amid reports suggesting these carriers, namely USS Carl Vinson, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, and USS Abraham Lincoln, might be heading towards Iran. This movement is part of broader strategic military positioning in the region, possibly in response to heightened tensions involving Iran and its allies, like the Houthis in Yemen. No official statement has confirmed Iran as the specific target, but the deployment signals an increase in military readiness.

As a podcaster and freelance journalist, Ole Nymoen admits he enjoys freedom of expression and other democratic rights in his home country of Germany. But he would not want to die for them. In a book published this week, Why I Would Never Fight for My Country, the 27-year-old argues ordinary people should not be sent into battle on behalf of nation states and their rulers — even to fend off an invasion. Occupation by a foreign power might lead to a “sh*tty” life, he told the Financial Times. “But I’d rather be occupied than dead.” Nymoen, a self-described Marxist,...

Just after he smoothed the surface of the freshly poured concrete, his small children chased a ball across the driveway, leaving deep footprints. The man yelled after them with a torrent of angry words. His shocked wife said, "You're a psychologist who's supposed...
