𝗦𝗔𝗨𝗗𝗜 𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗕𝗜𝗔 𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧! - Is Saudi Arabia now entering the fight against Iran exactly as I predicted? After Iran attacked a U.S. base in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom has joined military operations alongside the United States and Israel. Saudi Arabia opened key air bases for U.S. strikes. Reports confirm Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman views this as a historic opportunity to eliminate the Iranian threat. The kingdom has activated advanced defenses and reserves the right to direct military action. Combined with UAE forces approaching 300,000 active troops, regional ground pressure is building fast. U.S. airpower provides overwhelming support without American boots on the ground. The IRGC must surrender or face total collapse. President Trump is delivering on strength and smart alliances. The mullah regime's days are numbered. Victory is coming.

Knoxville. Reifert Street. Caller said a bunch of people were in the street. PD arrived and said they found that it was for a memorial balloon release. When they released their balloons, it hit the power lines and took out a large portion of the neighborhood’s power.

From the White House Kitchen Credit: Garvit Pandey America, the White House chef just broke his silence. After years of cooking for four Presidents — quietly, loyally, without saying a single word publicly — he finally opened his mouth. And what he revealed about Donald Trump — compared to every other President he served — is something that will make your jaw drop completely. Because nobody saw this coming. Not even the media. Chef Andre Rush. Nearly 20 years inside the White House kitchen. Four Presidents. Clinton. Bush. Obama. Trump. A man who watched all of them up close — not from a press briefing, not from a campaign trail — but from the most honest place possible. Their kitchen. Because you can lie in a speech. You can perform at a rally. You can craft an image for the cameras. But in a kitchen — at odd hours — when the food is being prepared and nobody important is watching — That is where the real person shows up. And here is what Chef Rush revealed that the media buried in one sentence and moved on from. When asked which President was the hardest to cook for — He said Trump. But not for the reason you think.“He’s a worker. He’s up all night. It wasn’t a lot of morning breakfast.” Up all night. The kitchen was ready. The food was prepared. And Trump was not there to eat it. Because he was working. Then Rush said something about the OTHER three Presidents — Clinton, Bush, Obama — that told you everything about the difference. Those Presidents ate. Regularly. On schedule. The kitchen knew when to expect them. What they wanted. How they liked things prepared. Trump? The chef never knew when Trump would appear. Because Trump’s schedule was not built around meals. It was built around America. And when Trump DID come through that kitchen? “Always friendly. Always complimentary to the staff.” Not once — in all those years — did Trump make the kitchen staff feel small. Never a harsh word. Never a demand that crossed a line. Never the behavior that powerful people often show when they think nobody important is watching. Just — thank you. Good job. I appreciate it. Every single time. And then Rush said the part that completely broke me. “He does try to eat healthy. People don’t get to see that part. They just see what we want to show on social media.” The media spent years showing you Trump eating McDonald’s. The Diet Coke. Every image designed to make him look careless. And his own chef — the man who actually cooked his food — said publicly that Trump tries. That the real picture is different from what the media shows. That behind every carefully curated image is a man who is actually trying to take care of himself — while being up all night, skipping breakfast, and carrying 330 million people on his shoulders. 😭🙏🇺🇸 Four Presidents. One chef. And after nearly 20 years — the verdict from the man who fed them all was simple. Trump was the hardest to cook for. Not because he was difficult. Because he was never there — always working, always carrying, always choosing America over his own meal. And when he did show up — he was always kind to the people who served him. Always. That is the real Trump. And it took his chef 8 years to say it. 😭🙏🇺🇸 💔 Type “ALWAYS KIND TO THE STAFF 😭🙏🫡” if this White House chef’s confession just showed you the Trump that four Presidents worth of kitchen staff finally confirmed. Pass this to every American who still believes what the media shows them — because the man who is always up, barely eating, and always kind to the kitchen staff is not the man they described.

@TexasRepublic71 Yes it happened, they found no explosive device. Still terrorism

A major explosion and fire at Valero’s Port Arthur refinery has taken one of the largest U.S. refining facilities offline, removing approximately 415,000 barrels per day from supply amid heightened market volatility. Our North American Refinery Intelligence Service has released a new report analysing the incident, using infrared monitoring across 12 key processing units at the site. Together, these units represent a significant share of PADD 3 refining capacity. Combining aerial imagery captured within 24 hours of the event with detailed operational analysis, the report assesses the scale of the disruption. Key findings include damage to the diesel hydrotreater, impacts on surrounding infrastructure, and the operational status of major units across the facility. With geopolitical pressures already tightening global energy markets, this outage adds further uncertainty to refined product supply.

Early Friday morning, the FDNY responded to a 3-alarm fire at Engine 79 in The Bronx, bringing more than 160 firefighters and EMS personnel to the scene. During the incident, members operating inside the firehouse encountered fire on the first floor that extended to the apparatus floor and up the stairwell, trapping firefighters on the second floor. “This morning, one of our firefighters identified the fire and immediately alerted everyone in the building, giving members the opportunity to get out and call for additional help,” said Fire Commissioner Lillian Bonsignore. “Members on the second floor who could not access the stairway did exactly what we ask the public to do, they sheltered in place in a room, closed the door behind them, and waited for assistance. That action bought them time and allowed for their safe removal.” “About 6:00 this morning, members became aware of a fire on the first floor that extended to the apparatus and up the stairwell, making egress difficult for those on the upper floors,” said Chief of Department John Esposito. “Ladder 56 arrived quickly and removed members from the second floor using portable and aerial ladders. This incident escalated to a third alarm, and the fire has since been brought under control.” Fourteen firefighters sustained minor injuries, with several transported to area hospitals for evaluation.The cause of the fire remains under investigation. FDNY officials are coordinating to relocate companies and maintain fire operations in the surrounding neighborhood while the firehouse undergoes repairs.
