As we reported, President Donald Trump called out European countries that rejected his request for ships to help out in a coalition to escort tankers through the Strait of Hormuz. It was a much-deserved mic drop scolding. How many times have we saved Europe's bacon? How many decades have we provided them protection from Russia, only to have them not pay their fair share until Trump forced them to do it? Yet they can't even be bothered to provide us help now, to protect their own interests. Here's Germany's Boris Pistorious saying they didn't start the war. So much for such an "ally."

In early 1991, right at the end of the first Gulf War, President George H. W. Bush could’ve marched to Baghdad, toppled Saddam Hussein, and freed the Iraqi people from tyranny. All the military tools were in place — and long-suffering minorities like the Kurds, who died by the thousands in chemical warfare, were more than willing to wage war. All they needed was help from the U.S.-led coalition. The help never came: 50,000 to 182,000 Kurds were slaughtered.
Up to 200,000 Iraqis died.
In the Time magazine essay “Why We Didn’t Remove Saddam,” which was cowritten by George H. W. Bush and Brent Scowcroft, the ex-president explained his reasoning:

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released part one of its investigation into a California elections fraud cash for ballots scheme. James O’Keefe and his team of journalists went undercover on Skid Row in Los Angeles posing as homeless people. ‘Petitioners’ told the undercover journalists that they are paid between $7-$10 per signature. Some of them earn up to $1,000 per day. “California NGOs Encourage Fake Addresses To Homeless People To Sign Petitions & Register Voters, A State & Federal Felony. Footage Shows 28 Instances Of Cash Changing Hands For Ballot Signatures & Voter Registration Forms,” they said.

Top Iran security official Ali Larijani killed days after goading US and Israel in live interview The 67-year-old Larijani was one of 10 Islamic Republic officials with a $10 million bounty placed on his head Friday by the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program. In a separate statement, the Israel Defense Forces announced it had killed Gen. Gholam Reza Soleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force, in a “targeted strike” on Tehran.
“Amid the internal protests in Iran, and particularly in recent times with their escalation, the Basij forces under Soleimani’s command led key suppression operations involving severe violence, widespread arrests, and the use of force against civilian protesters,”

There have been a lot of questions raised about the Strait of Hormuz, and what the status was for ships trying to go through it following strikes on the Iranian regime. The Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the Strait was open except to the U.S., Israel, and those involved in fighting. If that's true, that would mean that the principal people who rely on it for global trade — the Asian markets — would be able to go through.
There are actually ships traversing it now, according to Tanker Trackers, albeit not the normal traffic yet.

France’s government is bolstering the country’s military presence in the Middle East, dispatching its aircraft carrier and other warships, while President Emmanuel Macron engages with key players in the conflict, including Iran, in a bid to position Paris for future diplomatic talks.
Macron said that France’s military involvement is strictly “defensive” and aims to avoid making the country a party to the war. He reaffirmed that position after one French soldier was killed Thursday in a drone attack in Iraq.
“We are not at war with anyone,” Macron said.
Still, the large-scale deployment of the French navy — which he described as “unprecedented” —

Lies, disinformation and fictional accounting are the order of the day as a desperate hard-Left UK government, aided by its pet Climate Change Committee, tries to keep its impossible Net Zero controlling agenda intact. The bedrock unproven science claims surround the suggestion that recent limited global warming presents an existential threat to the planet. Statistics are routinely tortured to produce claims of up to 1.7°C warming from the pre-industrial age, notable as reported in a recent silly ‘Trump’s brave new world’ article by Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in the Telegraph. In fact, temperatures have only risen by around 1.1°C over the last 100 years.

Britain is a “sitting duck” for drone attacks, senior defence sources say, because Ed Miliband’s wind farms interfere with radar used by defensive domes. The Mail has the story.
Ministers have been warned the UK lacks any equivalent to Israel’s famous ‘Iron Dome’, which gives it the capability to intercept ballistic missiles at high altitude from 40 miles away.
Military chiefs have called for the Treasury to allocate the estimated £10 billion required for the system – but have so far been promised only £1 billion to scope out options.
Germany, in comparison, is spending £3.5 billion on the Arrow anti-missile system as part of an expanding pan-European air-defence network.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has confirmed that not only was the Michigan synagogue attacker’s brother in the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah, but that brother was actually a commander within the group. Multiple people and outlets have cited the fact that several of Ayman Ghazali’s family members died in an Israeli counterstrike recently as some sort of excuse for why he tried to blow up a Jewish school and synagogue in West Bloomfield. Even the initial reports indicated that Ghazali’s family had terrorist ties,

Xi has been supremely confident that China will dominate the rest of the century... "Change is coming that hasn't happened in 100 years," the Chinese leader told Vladimir Putin after their 40th in-person chat, in Moscow in March 2023. "And we are driving this change together."
Many in Washington and New York policy circles essentially agreed with Xi as they accepted the narrative of America's managed decline.
Not President Donald Trump. In a spectacular move, he extracted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife from Caracas on January 3 and is now in the process of taking down Iran's theocracy.

President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. would continue shooting Iranian boats and ships "out of the water" and that the Strait of Hormuz will soon reopen.
"Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are," he wrote on Truth Social.

Iran’s Shahed-style drones each cost between $20,000 and $50,000, but they can do a lot of damage. Since the latest conflict began, Iran's drones have killed six members of the Army Reserve at a command center in Kuwait on Sunday, and Iranian drones have wreaked havoc on Middle East petroleum facilities.
The FBI is now warning that Iranian drones potentially pose risks to targets in California. Some journalists in the legacy media are shocked to discover that the U.S. has limited capabilities to counter these destructive and lethal aerial devices. While it's true that neutralizing drone threats is difficult,
