In May 2025, Steve Witkoff promised Hamas to lift Israel's Aid blockade on Gaza in exchange for the release of Edan Alexander.

Hamas released Edan Alexander and Steve Witkoff bragged about not following through with the deal.

At the end of May 2025, US began operating GHF aid trap sites in Gaza, which have frequently opened fire on starving Gazan.

I read through the article. I think that the screenshot is the only leak revealed by Ken. The rest of the article talks about documents published by the Heritage Foundation. The conclusion of the substack article is that Republicans are trying to invent a transgender category of terrorism designation, "Transgender Ideology Inspired Violent Extremism" TIVE.

It was 2 ships that were attacked by drones on the coast of Tunisia, not just 1. The Tunisia National Guard said that the fire on the ships was actually caused by a cigarette fire. There is video of both attacks, which the GSF has posted on their website. This would seem that Tunisia is complicit with the attacks.

This is the current location. Most of the boats are around where it says "43".

I found that to be ironic too. I think it is in reference to the military parade that China had 2 weeks ago. Trump complained that he was not invited like other country leaders.

The first season of Eric Andre had all fake celebrity guests. From the screenshot below, you can see that the impersonator is not actually Russel Brand.

I'm not very familiar with that show. I searched The Trews on youtube. One of the very last episodes, titled Episode 371, uploaded in 2016, has Russel Brand saying that socialism is good and quoting Karl Marx. In 2017, Russel Brand endorsed Jeremy Corbyn.

If I recall correctly, his pivot to right wing happened around 2022 when youtube deleted one of his videos for Covid Denialism. He moved to rumble after that. He received a wave of sexual assault allegations in 2023.

Cabello’s statements claim that Lopez Bati is not merely a drug trafficker but an operative for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

Venezuelan officials claim this drug trafficker was plotting a false flag operation to implicate Venezuela in the drug trade, potentially justifying further U.S. intervention or condemnation.

The capture of Lopez Bati was part of a larger operation that saw Venezuelan authorities seizing a staggering 3,680 kilograms of cocaine.

There is now a second video. In this clip, Trump says that Bagram is 1 hour away from where nuclear missiles are made in China.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un Guides Work of Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Complex

Pyongyang, September 19 (KCNA) -- Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Thursday guided the performance test of the unmanned weapons and equipment being developed and produced by an institute and enterprises under the Unmanned Aeronautical Technology Complex.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un was accompanied by Ri Pyong Chol, general advisor for the munitions policy of the WPK Central Committee, and other senior officials of the WPK Central Committee and officials in the defence science research field.

He learnt in detail about the performance and combat application of various types of unmanned weapons and equipment including strategic and tactical unmanned surveillance vehicles and multipurpose drones being developed and produced by the institute and enterprises under the UATC.

Clearly proved in the test held on the same day were the military strategic value and innovative performance of the strategic unmanned surveillance vehicle and the excellent combat effectiveness of Kumsong-series tactical attack drones.

Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction over the result of the test.

He said that as he already stressed, the reality, in which the utility range of unmanned equipment is being further expanded in modern warfare and unmanned equipment emerges as a major military activity asset, raises it as a top-priority and important task in modernizing the armed forces of the DPRK to put on a highly-developed basis the core technology of unmanned equipment and the artificial intelligence and operational ability of the unmanned weapons and equipment systems.

He referred to the issues arising in directing primary efforts to rapidly developing the newly-introduced artificial intelligence technology and expanding and strengthening the serial production capacity of drones.

That day he approved and signed a document related to an important plan reflecting an organizational and structural measure for further expanding and strengthening the technological potentialities of the UATC. -0-

The video clip comes from a joint press conference earlier today with {Kid Starver|Keir Starmer}. I think Trump only mentions it in passing, I watched a longer video and it didn't seem to have more details.

In the video Trump says that the US needs to retake the base to prevent China from something nuclear. The SCMP article says that Trump thinks that China controls the airbase, not sure. The dropsite tweet says that the US wants the base to monitor China.

The US left Bagram Air Base in July 2021 as part of the US withdrawl from Afghanistan.

Tucker Carlson is lying and supporting the first amendment isn't "left wing".

During this same episode Tucker says that the First Amendment was inspired by Christianity and therefore since Charlie Kirk was a good Christian, he was the biggest supporter of the first amendment. Then Tucker plays a clip of Charlie Kirk telling a college student that she should be forced to carry a 2 week embryo to term, as evidence that Charlie was in support of the first amendment.

Does this line of reasoning make any sense to you? First Amendment = Christianity = Anti-abortion? If you're not a right winger, it probably doesn't. This is because words mean entirely different things to right wingers. To understand what they are saying, you have to interpret their words through their own framework.

Tucker Carlson engages in the same level of word salad as Kamala Harris or Mayor Pete. As a propagandist, the things that Tucker Carlson says are not meant to make sense, it is meant to engage the emotions of the audience, typically a right winger.

In the clip of the tweet, Tucker is only saying that he supports Free Speech to express that his own speech is being silenced. He is creating an expression of fear to add legitimacy to the second half of the episode. During the second half of the episode, Tucker says that pro-Israel people were trying to keep Tucker away from Charlie by taking away his funding. This devolves into a larger conspiracy theory.

During the last 2 minutes of the episode, he blames the left. He says that Charlie Kirk was anti-war, supported raising wages, supported affordable housing. Then he says that the left is pro-war, pro-death, pro-inequality. Tucker says "the left, the trans community are the shock troops of power". Tucker ends the episode by saying that he loved Charlie Kirk because he opposed the left and transgender people.

Tucker Carlson believes that Free Speech means supporting Kirk and being against transgender people. He believes that criticizing Kirk or supporting transgender people is against Free Speech.

The director of the FCC went on Benny Johnson's podcast and said that Jimmy Kimmel's comments were "some of the sickest conduct possible".

"There are avenues here for the FCC, so there are some ways in which I need to be a little careful, because I could be called wholly to become a judge on some of these claims that come up."

"Frankly, when you see stuff like this, I mean, we can do this the easy way, or these companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there’s going to be additional work for the FCC ahead."

His whole debate schtick was fake. All of media is saying that he encouraged discussion or welcomed people to politics, none of which is true. Charlie manufactured scenarios where he could bully unprepared people to promote far right propaganda.

He sits in a booth with a microphone to present himself as the expert, giving him advantage in the conversation. He chooses unprepared college students from campus who are between classes. Then if someone proves that he's wrong, he just won't upload the video. There was no real debates.
