This is nauseating. I spoke at a Trump rally right before Lindsey Graham in 2024 in SC in Lindsey Graham’s home county. During my speech I said no more money to the Ukraine war and talked about no more U.S. involvement in foreign wars and the massive crowd roared with cheers. After I finished, Lindsey Graham came on stage and was booed for the entirety of his speech until he finally quit and walked off stage. In his home state. In his home county where he was born and raised. This is all documented and on many videos. And Trump knew it happened, he heard the crowd. Lindsey Graham is exactly what Americans voted to get rid of in 2024, but Trump fights tooth and nail to protect. The vast majority of Trump’s endorsements are for politicians that always protect the swamp establishment and the deep state. Open your eyes and get out of the cult. The Trump endorsement should be a warning label proving that candidate will obey the very system that you hate and will be most likely funded by AIPAC which promotes Israel’s interest over America. Vote for candidates that are America FIRST!!! 🇺🇸

US Navy destroyer USS Michael Murphy (DDG-112) is crossing the strait of Hormuz today according to AIS data.

N926NA (NASA 926) served as a high‑altitude observation platform during the Artemis II recovery, capturing video of the Orion capsule’s re‑entry, splashdown, and recovery operations to provide real‑time imagery for NASA and the recovery teams.

In April 2026, the NT-43A (tail number 73-1155) deployed to MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, to support NASA’s Artemis II lunar mission launch. During this deployment, it was fitted with a removable dorsal EO/IR turret and operated in the launch area, providing rare photographic opportunities of the secretive aircraft outside its usual Nevada base. This mission underscores the NT-43A’s evolving role beyond pure stealth testing, leveraging its unique airframe for specialized sensor support in high-profile space operations while maintaining its core function as a flying radar signature measurement platform. The aircraft typically resides at Tonopah Test Range Airport when not deployed, with its missions remaining largely classified due to the sensitive nature of its radar and EO/IR data collection activities.

Just for outside observers, this, circled, is the Irish government’s tax take on fuel at the pumps. This is what the #FuelProtest is about. Lowering this substantially to make fuel affordable.

@WorldCrimeIntel Impressive haul. Makes you think how much actually gets through.

Spain: A total of 5 tons of cocaine was seized by police, marking a significant interception along the Huelva coast. The criminal organization used high-speed boats for smuggling, storing the cocaine in 'safe houses' in Gibraleón (Huelva) and Utrera (Sevilla). During the operation, over 3,500 kg were found in Gibraleón, along with four Kalashnikov rifles and a stolen van, while 400 kg were seized in Utrera. In total, five war-grade weapons, a pistol, five vehicles, various phones, and cash were confiscated. Ten individuals, including nationals of multiple countries, were arrested on charges of criminal organization membership, drug trafficking, illegal arms possession, and vehicle theft, with all being remanded in custody.

Extratropical Cyclone #Vaianu continues to spiral toward the North Island of New Zealand. Damaging winds are expected, with severe gusts likely to bring down trees, cause power outages, and create hazardous conditions, particularly in exposed northern and eastern areas.
