MEXICO - President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night that the United States is “going to start now hitting land” in its fight against drug cartels — framing the move as a response to what he claimed is cartel control of Mexico and a US death toll in the “250,000–300,000” range every year. Trump’s “hitting land” remark signals a possible escalation from the administration’s maritime-focused counter-narcotics campaign into operations that could potentially touch Mexican territory or cartel-linked infrastructure — an outcome that would raise major questions about sovereignty, congressional authority, and blowback along the US-Mexico border. Experts have warned potential military action against cartels inside Mexico could be viewed as an act of aggression and trigger dangerous unintended consequences, including displacement and migration pressure.

IRAN - The unprecedented protests pose an existential threat to the Ayatollah's fragile regime. Donald Trump has signalled he is ready to back Iranian protesters – as the US weighs up military action against Tehran. The President said Iran is “looking at FREEDOM” and vowed America was “ready to help”, as chaos spreads across the country. Behind the scenes, US officials have been locked in talks over potential strikes on Iran’s military, according to reports. The Wall Street Journal said multiple Iranian military targets are being considered as options for attack. Former Pentagon insiders told The Telegraph that Trump could also unleash covert CIA operations to destabilise the regime – or give Israel the green light to strike first.

PUERTO RICO - One day after the United States attacked Venezuela and captured its ruler, Nicolás Maduro, beachgoers on the northwestern coast of Puerto Rico heard the rumbling noises of flying military aircraft overtake the peaceful sounds of waves lapping onto the shore. For those in this city known for its surfing and beach life, the sights and roars of fighter jets and Reaper drones were a reminder that, just a few miles away, the air facilities of a once-shuttered US military base have gained renewed importance in President Donald Trump’s plan to assert “American dominance in the Western Hemisphere.” The forgotten military facilities are now being revived amid Trump’s new military push in the Western Hemisphere and his warning following Maduro’s capture of the possibility of new US military attacks in Venezuela.

VENEZUELA - Venezuelan militias are hunting for US Citizens, and any Americans should leave the country immediately, the US State Department has warned. The Government body said: "Venezuela: The security situation in Venezuela remains fluid. As international flights have resumed, US citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately. Before departure, US citizens should take precautions and be aware of their surroundings. There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of US citizenship or support for the United States. Remain vigilant and exercise caution when travelling by road. Monitor airlines’ communications and websites for updated information. Venezuela has the highest Travel Advisory level – Level 4: Do Not Travel – due to severe risks to Americans, including wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure."

USA - While impotent leaders like Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and any number of other European nonentities navel-gaze, Trump has become a titan, a global sheepdog, rounding up the rotten apples. After decades of oppression under authoritarian ayatollahs, Iran now stands on the brink of collapse. ​U​ntil recently, open uprising against its religious dictatorship was unthinkable, but now its persecuted people believe freedom is in sight and within reach. And just like the cowardly brute Bashar al-Assad, who was overthrown from his iron-fisted rule of Syria in 2024 and forced to flee, panicked Ayatollah Ali Khamenei looks set to join him in exile... in Moscow. One by one states that have ruled by subjugation are falling: Assad was driven out of Syria; Hamas was forced to yield and hand back the Israeli hostages it had snatched; Venezuelan tyrant Nicolas Maduro was abducted from his bed, and Iran was blitzed by US bunker bombs and its nuclear capabilities neutered. Like it or not, Trump is forcing the world to fall into line.

VENEZUELA - Oil, gold and rare earth elements: the backdrop to US political tension with Venezuela. The country’s enormous energy and mineral resources are consolidating as a key factor in the geopolitical dispute and in Venezuela’s institutional collapse. In addition to possessing the world’s largest oil reserves, Venezuela boasts enormous gas deposits — the sixth largest globally — vast gold reserves, the most significant in Latin America; iron, ranking 12th worldwide; bauxite, 15th; and diamonds. Before the collapse of the Chavista regime, the country had made significant progress in the exploitation and export of several of these commodities, particularly oil, gas, iron ore, and processed aluminum and steel products, cornerstones of contemporary Venezuela.

UK - The United Kingdom is decadent in many ways, with a leftist-Globalist Labour government fraying the social fabric with unchecked mass migration, killing the economy with ‘green’ suicidal policies, and using rampant censorship to keep citizens in line. But now, we’ve come to the point in which something new and positive is unfolding, and it’s verified by numbers: Bible sales in Britain ‘have hit their highest level on record’. The figures more than doubled compared to pre-pandemic levels, reportedly driven by a surge in interest from Gen Z. This is part of what many see as a ‘significant cultural shift regarding matters of faith and religion’ in the Kingdom.

USA - Fact Sheet: Trump Administration Resets US Nutrition Policy, Puts Real Food Back at the Center of Health RESTORING SCIENCE AND COMMON SENSE: Every American deserves to be healthy - but too many Americans are sick and don’t know why. That is because their government has been unwilling to tell them the truth.

USA - For decades, Americans have unknowingly consumed cheese made with a genetically modified enzyme developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer — an ingredient that remains unlabeled and unregulated despite growing concerns over GMOs in the food supply. Fermentation-produced chymosin (FPC), a lab-engineered version of traditional rennet, is now used in roughly 90% of commercially produced cheese in North America. The revelation, which recently went viral on social media, has sparked outrage among health-conscious consumers, many of whom are now vowing to boycott mainstream cheese brands. "How is this allowed?" demanded one X user, while others declared they would scrutinize labels or switch to organic alternatives. The backlash highlights a disturbing trend: The quiet takeover of the food supply by corporations with a history of prioritizing profits over public health.

USA - The Trump administration will withdraw from dozens of international organizations, including the UN’s population agency and the UN treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, as the US further retreats from global cooperation. President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order suspending US support for 66 organizations, agencies, and commissions, following his administration’s review of participation in and funding for all international organizations, including those affiliated with the United Nations, according to a White House release.

USA - The USA is no longer a part of dozens of international organisations focused on climate, women’s rights and other initiatives. The Trump administration announced it wouldn’t take part in the UN’s population agency, international climate negotiations, UN Women and other organisations. Many of the targets are UN-related agencies that focus on issues the Trump administration has categorised as catering to diversity and ‘woke’ initiatives’. The move has been slammed by international leaders, with French President Emmanuel Macron saying the US is ‘breaking free from international rules’ and ‘gradually turning away’ from some of its allies. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier went further, saying America was destroying the world order. In the executive order signed by Trump, posted on the White House website, it reads: ‘After deliberating with my Cabinet, have determined that it is contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support to these organisations.’

USA - The Trump economy is booming. A CNBC analyst was left noticeably shocked — even asking the audience to “buckle up” — while reading the latest trade deficit numbers Thursday morning. The US trade deficit dropped to $29.4 billion in October 2025 from $136 billion in March 2025 — a major win for President Trump’s policies.

USA - The Trump administration last week blocked plans to shut down a generator unit at a coal-fired power plant in Colorado. The order, which will keep the unit running through March 2026, cites analysts finding that the grid would be unable to supply enough electricity during periods of high demand, such as a major storm. “Keeping this coal plant online will ensure Americans maintain an affordable, reliable and secure supply of electricity. The Trump administration is committed to lowering energy costs and keeping American families safe,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said in a statement. The Colorado unit wasn’t the only coal facility the administration preserved. On December 17, Wright ordered the last coal power plant in Washington to remain operational. It was slated for retirement at the end of last month. On Christmas Eve, Wright also blocked the closure of two coal-fired power plants in Indiana, which were to be shuttered the following week. “The industry is very optimistic," Arthun said. "We know there’s an energy crisis and that coal is a valuable player in stabilizing the grid."

USA - Stagnating economies, together with high government debt loads, inevitably create funding crises and debt traps. Nowhere is this problem more destructive than for the fiat dollar. But it’s not just the dollar. Economies in the Eurozone and the UK have insufficient growth to support their colossal mountains of government debt. A combination of rising interest rates reflecting growing risk and stagnating economies bring on debt traps, leading to yet higher interest rates making the situation even worse. My memory is of the sterling crisis in 1976, when the IMF bailed out the British government, and the Bank of England had to fund medium-term debt with gilt coupons of over 15%. The Labour government was forced to cut its spending to resolve the situation. So I have a question for today: who is going to bail out first, the US Government, then the UK and Eurozone, and who is going to force them to cut spending on the edge of a recession? Only the markets will do it: crisis first, and only if we are lucky, the solution follows.

IRAN - The start to 2026 could hardly have gone worse for the Supreme Leader. Every day this year something has gone wrong for the Islamic regime in Tehran. Now, protests have erupted across the country, more widespread than any since the government murdered Mahsa Amini in 2022. Today, we’re seeing clashes with groups from shopkeepers to students of every age and demographic. Calls for the end of the ayatollahs, the restoration of the monarchy and for freedom have been heard from the Caspian Sea to the Persian Gulf. It’s true the economy is collapsing, but this isn’t about economics – it’s about liberation.
