A Chinese simulation allegedly showed that a single Type 055 destroyer and escort could weather an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer missile bombardment. The war game was set in the western Pacific, just a few hundred kilometers east of Taiwan.

During the simulation, a single Type 055 was tested against no less than eight Arleigh Burke’s. The Chinese destroyer was not alone; it was accompanied by unmanned drone mothership vessels.

These motherships were equipped with 32 drones and 14 unmanned boats. During the simulation, the American ships launched 32 Tomahawk and LRASM stealth anti-ship missiles, all aimed at the Type 055.

NEW OVERNIGHT … TOM HOMAN IS COMING FOR NJ GOVERNOR … DW: Border Czar Homan: I’ll Prosecute NJ Governor If He’s Concealing An Illegal Alien (VIDEO)

“Let me read a headline to you: ‘Chicago leaders encourage residents to exercise their rights in resisting Trump’s deportation policies.’ The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, basically admitted he knew somebody that didn’t have full documentation that he was hiding over his garage. Your comment on all of that?” Fox news host Sean Hannity asked Homan.

“I think the governor is pretty foolish … I got note of it. Won’t let it go. We’ll look into it. And if he’s knowingly, knowingly  harboring, concealing an illegal alien, that’s a violation of Title VIII, United States Code 1324. I would seek prosecution or the Secretary would seek prosecution,” Homan answered.

“So maybe he’s bluffing; maybe he’s not; we’ll deal with that,” he continued., then turned to sanctuary cities.

After less than a month, the Swedish Prosecuting Authority has ruled that a subsea cable connecting to Latvia and the Swedish island of Gotland was not cut deliberately as an act of sabotage. Rather, the investigators concluded the cutting of the cable was an accident due to a combination of weather conditions and “deficiencies in equipment and seamanship.”

An investigation into the ship that supposedly severed a subsea cable connecting Latvia to the Swedish island of Gotland was cut accidentally, authorities confirmed.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority ruled that the cable cut, which occurred in late January, was not an act of sabotage and that a combination of weather conditions and “deficiencies in equipment and seamanship” contributed to the cable break.

Swedish authorities had seized the ship, analysing its equipment to determine if the cut was deliberate. The seizure order on the ship has now been lifted, though the investigation remains ongoing to “determine whether there are other crimes that can be suspected in connection with the cable break”.

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has become a den of leftist slush funds laundering U.S. tax dollars from alleged international outreach efforts to far-left radical activist organizations. Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) uncovered the rot, forcing a dramatic showdown at the Department of State that led to the laying off of two leaders at USAID.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the shutting down of USAID, stating “Consistent with President Trump’s Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, Secretary Rubio has paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review. He is initiating a review of all foreign assistance programs to ensure they are efficient and consistent with U.S. foreign policy under the America First agenda.”

Last week President Donald Trump took executive action to freeze the vast majority of all foreign aid payments made through the United States Agency for International Development. Secretary of State Marco Rubio took swift action to comply.

“Consistent with President Trump’s Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, Secretary Rubio has paused all U.S. foreign assistance funded by or through the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for review. He is initiating a review of all foreign assistance programs to ensure they are efficient and consistent with U.S. foreign policy under the America First agenda,” the State Department released in a statement about the move.

“President Trump stated clearly that the United States is no longer going to blindly dole out money with no return for the American people. Reviewing and realigning foreign assistance on behalf of hardworking taxpayers is not just the right thing to do, it is a moral imperative. The Secretary is proud to protect America’s investment with a deliberate and judicious review of how we spend foreign assistance dollars overseas,” the statement continues.

The review of USAID spending has been underway and is ongoing. The findings, detailing how USAID spends American tax dollars, are astonishing.

Meanwhile, U.S. Envoy for Special Projects Richard Grenell is calling for an investigation into for USAID director Samantha Power.

 

Insurrectionist NY Attorney General Letitia James has informed hospitals in her jurisdiction that they must follow state law, and disregard concern over the loss of federal funding so you can and WILL continue to chemically castrate, physically mutilate children in the name of the trans ideology.

Trump issued an order January 28 prohibiting federal funding for hospitals that give “gender affirming” surgery, hormone treatment to children under 18. James wrote, “Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws, including those that prohibit discrimination against individuals based on their membership in a protected class, such as sex [and] gender identity or expression.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) has warned hospitals in her state that they must continue providing so-called “gender affirming care” to minors, despite an executive order from President Donald Trump, or risk possible repercussions for engaging in “discrimination.”

On January 28, Trump issued an executive order prohibiting federal funding for medical facilities that supposedly help a child 18 years old or younger “‘transition’ … from one sex to another.” The order described such procedures as “chemical and surgical mutilation” and noted they often result in permanent reproductive damage.

“Countless children soon regret that they have been mutilated and begin to grasp the horrifying tragedy that they will never be able to conceive children of their own or nurture their children through breastfeeding. Moreover, these vulnerable youths’ medical bills may rise throughout their lifetimes, as they are often trapped with lifelong medical complications, a losing war with their own bodies, and, tragically, sterilization,” the executive order explained.

After four years of struggle, the people of Myanmar continue to see the quality of their life degrade, but yet their will to resist the junta that illegally took power in February 2021 has not waned. The resistance has only grown, and the territories the resistance claims have only increased.

That point is brought home by recent news of 22 junta troops being killed and eight captured in an ambush deep within junta territory. The junta recently announced a six-month extension of its “mandate to rule in preparation for elections” with a non-date-specific “promise” elections will be held this year. This move will only strengthen the resolve of the people of Myanmar to continue to resist this tyranny.

A nation on the brink

A comparative assessment of Myanmar before and after the 1 February 2021 coup underscores the country’s descent into turmoil. Once experiencing relative political stability and economic growth under a quasi-democratic government, Myanmar is now a battleground where millions suffer daily.

More than 3,000 airstrikes have devastated civilian areas, killing at least 6,224 people, including 711 children and 1,387 women. The number of political prisoners has skyrocketed from 234 before the coup to 21,711 as of last month.

With the junta rapidly losing territorial control, resorting to forced recruitment, and cracking down on free speech, Myanmar’s future remains uncertain. As resistance forces continue their push, the question remains: how long can the military junta hold on before the country witnesses a decisive shift in power?

According the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), they claim the Iranian Islamist regime is working on developing nuclear missiles that can effectively reach Europe. They are using North Korean designs, the report alleges.

A U.S. representative of the NCRI, Soona Samsami,  told The Telegraph UK, “For over two decades, they have used negotiations and the West’s leniency as a means to advance their nuclear weapons program, threatening global peace and stability. Tehran has never been as weak and vulnerable as it is today. The desperate Iranian regime is thus speeding up the development of nuclear weapons. Now is the time to hold the regime accountable for internal killings, regional warmongering and nuclear weapons development.”

Iran has allegedly been covertly developing nuclear weapons with a 1,800‑mile range that could reach Europe using North Korean designs, according to the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
The Telegraph in Britain reported Sunday that details provided by the NCRI indicate that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is expanding its warhead program at two sites disguised as communication satellite launch facilities. The facilities, controlled by Iran’s nuclear weapons division – the Organisation for Advanced Defence Research (SPND) – are reportedly expediting missile production…
According to the report, the first warhead base is located about 22 miles from the Iranian city of Shahrud. Experts from the SPND and the IRGC Aerospace Force have been working on a nuclear missile integrated into a Ghaem-100 rocket, capable of traveling 1,800 miles. This range would put targets in Europe –including Greece –and Israel within reach.

Under President Donald Trump, the DOJ arrested former senior Federal Reserve advisor John Harold Rogers, 63, for allegedly stealing trade secrets from the U.S. agency that controlled China’s access to U.S. markets. He took those trade secrets and gave them to his CCP handlers.

Former Federal Reserve Adviser Arrested for Allegedly Passing US Trade Secrets to China – NTD

Excerpt:

Prosecutors on Jan. 31 arrested a former senior Federal Reserve advisor, accusing him of stealing trade secrets from the agency that could allow China to manipulate the U.S. market.

John Harold Rogers, 63, worked for 11 years as a senior advisor for the international finance division of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the main governing body for the U.S. central bank.

A federal indictment alleged that Rogers began working with Chinese conspirators since at least 2018. The Chinese handlers worked for the Chinese intelligence and security apparatus and posed as graduate students at a Chinese university, according to the filing.

Rogers, in the collaboration, allegedly solicited trade-secret information that included proprietary economic data sets, China tariff deliberations, and briefing books for specific board governors. He also allegedly solicited internal discussions and forthcoming announcements from the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), a 12-member body consisting of the seven Federal Reserve board of governors, the New York Federal Reserve Bank president, and four of the remaining 11 Reserve Bank presidents that rotate on an annual basis.

Billions of dollars in value were lost in the tech market, which also includes the Chinese tech market, after a Chinese-owned tech company released a powerful AI reasoning model called DeepSeek that is far cheaper and a little more powerful than current AI models like ChatGPT. The world’s richest 500 people lost over $100 billion after the market responded to the stunning news.

Marc Andreesen, who created Netscape Navigator, called the release “AI’s Sputnik moment,” referring to the shock in America when, in 1959, the Soviet Union successfully launched a space satellite called Sputnik at a fraction of the cost of then-current U.S. programs. Donald Trump said of the “Sputnik moment,” that it “should be a wake-up call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing to win.”

DeepSeek AI has taken the tech industry by storm with its cost and resource-effective advanced-language model. DeepSeek engineers claim that their open-source language learning model utilises fewer and cheaper chips to perform the same tasks as any other AI model out there at a ‘shoestring cost’ of $5.6 million. This has led many investors to rethink why a significant capital investment is required to build the strongest models when a competent AI model has been developed at a fraction of development costs.
DeepSeek AI is reportedly outperforming ChatGPT in areas such as mathematics and coding, positioning itself as a new competent AI model. The Chinese AI startup quickly emerged as the no.1 free app on the iOS app store, emerging as a free alternative against ChatGPT. DeepSeek performs all the functions of an open-source AI language learning model by utilising just 2000 chips, DeepSeek engineers reported. Whereas ChatGPT required 10,000 Nvidia GPUs to process its training data.
DeepSeek AI was founded in 2023, by Liang Wenfeng. Headquartered in Hangzhou, China, this new AI model is set to revolutionise the tech industry as it has successfully developed artificial general intelligence at a comparatively low cost…
As per a report by Bloomberg, billionaires tied to artificial intelligence suffered losses.

Against the will of the rank-and-file members of the Florida GOP, the people who gave the party its overwhelming majorities in the legislature and Governor’s office, the Florida RINO GOP is leading a revolt through the creation of a bill allegedly intended to help Trump’s Deportation agenda.

Governor Ron DeSantis said of the bill, “The Legislature’s bill is a bait-and-switch tactic trying to create the illusion of an illegal immigration crack down, when it does anything but. It is an insult to name such a weak bill after President Trump, who has been so strong on this issue.”

He added, “By giving enforcement power to the agricultural arm of state government, it ensures that enforcement never actually occurs. In short, it puts the fox in charge of the hen house.”

Florida Legislature Goes Full ‘RINO,’ Turns on DeSantis with ‘Bait-and-Switch’ Move– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

For the past six or seven years, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has been a conservative stalwart in the Sunshine State, and the Republican-controlled state legislature has begrudgingly followed his lead.

But like so many other Republican states, Florida has a deeply entrenched uni party establishment, despite the fact that DeSantis has turned Florida from purple to ruby red, at least with respect to voting patterns.

Most recently, DeSantis called a special session of the legislature to back President Donald Trump’s immigration and mass deportation efforts. Rather than passing helpful immigration policies, the Florida Republican establishment gaveled out on Monday and started their own special session in an attempt to gut immigration enforcement in the state.

In a bill called the TRUMP Act, they named Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson as the chief immigration officer in Florida, and perhaps even worse, they failed to pass a meaningful duty for local and state law enforcement to help with immigration enforcement.

“By giving enforcement power to the agricultural arm of state government, it ensures that enforcement never actually occurs,” DeSantis said on social media. “In short, it puts the fox in charge of the hen house.”

DeSantis added that the move to appoint Simpson as the chief immigration officer “unconstitutionally removes authority to enforce the law from the governor to a lower-level cabinet agency.” He warned that the stakeholders in that agency “often oppose enforcement measures.”

Are you worried about what will happen to Florida when DeSantis leaves office?

“The Legislature’s bill is a bait-and-switch tactic trying to create the illusion of an illegal immigration crack down, when it does anything but,” he continued. “It is an insult to name such a weak bill after President Trump, who has been so strong on this issue.”

The nerve that these lawmakers had to name their watered-down bill the TRUMP Act indeed showed they were signaling to voters that they are handling immigration when in reality they are trying to do the opposite.

Daniel Horowitz, a commentator with The Blaze, added that such efforts are “why so many Republican voters have become jaded with the party.”

Rather than executing on the immigration agenda Florida voters so clearly want, Florida Republican Senate President Ben Albritton is “working with the open borders lobby to undermine the best opportunity to end illegal immigration once and for all,” Horowitz cautioned.

The TRUMP Act bizarrely had a provision to create “more beds” for criminal illegal aliens, prompting DeSantis aide Christina Pushaw to respond.

“Why does it sound like these legislators’ priority is to ensure Florida pays for more beds to comfortably house illegal aliens here?” she asked. “We voted for MASS DEPORTATIONS.”

Lake County Republican Commissioner Anthony Sabatini likewise rebuked the Florida state legislature. He warned that the proposal is a “FAKE immigration bill” that watered down the DeSantis agenda to “nearly nothing” and put “pro-illegal immigration” Simpson in charge of enforcement.

Though we do not see the Republican establishment rear its ugly head as visibly in Florida relative to other red states, the swamp still needs to be drained in Tallahassee.

The latest showdown in Florida is a reminder that the Democrats are not always the problem.

Sometimes the establishment Republicans are actually the enemy.

Even worse, rather than directly opposing the conservative agenda, those sorts of Republicans coat their subversion in a veneer of conservatism in cynical attempts to fool voters.

That means conservatives in Florida, and the rest of the country, must remain vigilant.
