Judge weighs whether Venezuela can pay Maduro’s legal costs in US drug trafficking case
As Maduro and Cilia Flores, his wife and co-defendant, looked on in beige jail uniforms, his lawyers argued that the U.S. is violating the deposed leader’s constitutional rights by blocking Venezuelan government money from being used for the couple’s legal costs. The U.S. government hasn’t let the funds flow because of sanctions against the South American country. Maduro and Flores remain jailed in Brooklyn, and neither has asked to be released on bail. Hellerstein has yet to set a trial date.
The Iran War Just Reopened the Caspian Energy Map
For decades, the idea of transporting natural gas from Turkmenistan across the Caspian Sea to Azerbaijan and onward to Europe has been held hostage to geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty. Today, the convergence of war and market disruption is creating conditions that could finally break this impasse. In doing so, Turkmenistan, home to some of the world’s largest gas reserves, could emerge as a key energy supplier to offset war-constrained Middle Eastern flows.

WATCH: Senate hearing goes silent after Angel Father confronts top Dem over daughter’s death

Dick Durbin, D-Ill., for not acknowledging his daughter, Katie, who was killed by an illegal immigrant drunk driver. After Sen.

I also appreciate Ranking Member Welch and Mr. Padilla for recognizing that. What I don’t understand is why my senator of Illinois, Mr. Durbin, [I] haven’t heard two words from him toward me,” he said, pointing in Durbin’s direction. “It’s kind of amazing,” Abraham added.

Gen Z is supposed to be done with religion. Someone forgot to tell them.
Steve Little was teaching a leadership class to his own employees last month when he asked, almost as an aside, how many of them were actively practicing religion. He was expecting a smattering of hands. Instead, 80 percent of the room – employees aged 26 to 38 – raised their hands. “I was shocked. I genuinely demonstrated that on my face.” The following week, Little received an industry report from the Associated Builders and Contractors showing that churches are now the second fastest-growing construction sector in America – double-digit growth in a market where hospitals, schools, and municipalities are all contracting.

Iran lowers minimum age for war roles to 12, sparking outcry over child soldier use
Under international law, Iran’s move flagrantly violates the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which explicitly prohibits the use of children in military activities, marking a dramatic breach of its global obligations.

US President Donald Trump spoke on Friday at the FII Priority Summit in Miami and declared major changes in the Middle East power balance following actions against Iran. “Tonight, we’re closer than ever to the rise of the Middle East that is finally free at last from Iranian terror,” Trump said. “For 47 years, Iran has been known as the bully of the Middle East – but they are not the bully any longer.”
Iran vows ‘heavy price’ after Israel strikes nuclear sites
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned on Friday that there will be a “heavy price” to pay after Israel struck two of Iran’s key nuclear facilities. “Israel has hit 2 of Iran’s largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure.

The wars Israel is already preparing for – and why they look nothing like today’s
In the fog of war with Iran, whose long-term consequences may take years to fully understand, American and Israeli strategists are already preparing for their next conflicts. They recognize a central truth: Tomorrow’s wars will not resemble today’s. If the Iranian regime falls, Israel’s primary adversary could change. Much depends on whether the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tightens its grip or whether genuine political transformation empowers the Iranian people.

Trump Board Plan Would Disarm Hamas in Stages Over 8 Months, Destroy Gaza’s Tunnels
Hamas would be required to allow the destruction of its vast Gaza tunnel network as it lays down its arms in stages over eight months under a disarmament plan presented to the terrorists by US President Donald Trump‘s “Board of Peace.” The plan follows a timeline that begins with a US-backed committee of Palestinian technocrats taking security control of Gaza and concludes with Israeli forces withdrawing completely upon “verification that Gaza is free of weaponry.”

Ukraine is close to clinching several security agreements — including with the UAE and Qatar — to counter Iranian attacks, its foreign minister said on Friday, adding that he saw scope to draw China into peace efforts to end the war with Russia. “We will welcome any efforts of Chinese colleagues to end this war, to achieve a ceasefire, and probably they have this potential to influence Russia,” he said.
Iranians fear crackdown will intensify: ‘If there is a deal, we will have to leave’
The French news agency AFP on Friday published testimonies from several residents describing daily life in the country. One theme, according to the accounts, continues to weigh heavily on Iranians: repression and intrusion into personal life by authorities. Shayan, a resident of Tehran, told AFP there is no hunger in Iran and that goods remain available. “Cafes are open, we go out, there is fuel, water and electricity. But there is a sense of helplessness among all of us,” he said. “We meet with family and friends, play cards and drink. Shops and restaurants are open until 9 p.m. But the city feels empty, most people have left.” Ansiya, a dentist in the Iranian capital, said she is losing hope every day. “We are trapped between three mad powers and the war is frightening. I know I will never be the same person again. The war has torn a part of me away, and it will not return,” she said.

Lockdown 2.0: The IEA Has Released 10 Guidelines to Help the Public Prepare for the Coming Fuel Shortages and “Energy Lockdowns”

Professor Norman Fenton recently had his Twitter account taken over by hackers who sent out thousands of spam posts and messages. This is a warning for those who adopt digital identities (“IDs”). “I predict that in every country that adopts the digital IDs wanted by globalist overlords in the WEF and UN, hundreds of thousands to millions of lives will be ruined each year.”
Islamification of the West: Muslims are simply doing what Muslims have always done
Last year, Raymond Ibrahim explained what ribat is, historically and today. Because the Koran instructs Muslims to form ribats to carry out jihad against infidels, when Muslims enter a Western nation, they form ribats. What has changed is that our politicians are inviting them into our nations and supporting them while they do it.

Orange County, California Surrenders: Board of Supervisors Issues First-Ever Eid al-Fitr Proclamation at the Demand of CAIR and Islamic Shura Council
In a blatant act of cultural submission, the Orange County Board of Supervisors handed Islamic activists a major propaganda victory by officially recognizing Eid al-Fitr for the first time — an incremental step in America’s Islamization, orchestrated by Muslim Brotherhood-linked Shura Council and fraud-plagued CAIR, while sidelining traditional Judeo-Christian values.
