On September 2nd, 2025, the U.S. Navy killed 11 civilians on a boat in the Caribbean Sea that President Trump claimed was operated by the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, who were allegedly carrying drugs bound for the United States.  The response was swift. Legal experts weighed in on  whether this attack was a violation of international law and if it was considered a criminal act against civilians. So is this attack on civilians considered a war crime? And how will Venezuela respond to this attack?  On this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, Craig joins guest Dr. Anthony C. Arend, Professor of Government and Foreign Service and Chair of the Department of Government at Georgetown University.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes and Natalie Orpett, and Professor of Law at Cardozo Law School Rebecca Ingber, to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Uninvited Aerial Vehicles.” The Polish government is claiming that nineteen armed Russian UAVs penetrated its airspace last night. While Russians are suggesting no attack was intended, Poland has invoked Article IV of the NATO Treaty and worked with allied NATO aircraft to shoot the drones down. What might be happening here? And does it mean we're on our way to World War III as some are suggesting?“Bibi is a Killer Negotiator. No, Wait—Switch That.” Within days of the Trump administration tabling another ceasefire proposal—and, by some accounts, making progress in pressuring Hamas to accept it—Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized a set of missile strikes that killed the leaders of Hamas's political wing in nearby Qatar. It's the first such move in a Gulf country, many of which have moved towards normalization with Israel through the Trump-backed Abraham Accords. What explains Israel's actions? And what do they portend for the conflict in Gaza and the region as a whole?“Cruise Control.” A week has passed since the Trump administration took the controversial step of targeting a boat alleged to be smuggling narcotics at the direction of the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua with lethal force. The Trump administration hasn't repeated the move, but it's said it intends to. And U.S. military assets—including strategic assets whose use in a counter-narcotics military campaign is far from clear—have continued to build up in the region, leading some to believe that a broader campaign against Venezuela itself may yet be in the offing. How likely is a broader campaign? And could its implications be, legally and politically? In Object Lessons, Ben is cheering on a cadre of former FBI agents suing Kash Patel over their firings, and in the process, sings the praises of an accidental hero—the “Drizz.” Natalie, meanwhile, gets très littéraire with “The Elegance of the Hedgehog,” by Muriel Barbery—a book so French that almost nothing happens. Scott rang in his 8th wedding anniversary the traditional way: getting drunk in the basement and falling in love all over again—with The Paper.

Wesley Tabor Sr. grew up poor in a broken home, raised by a single mom who later married a convicted felon. Instead of following that path, Wesley became a cop and eventually joined the DEA, where he built a successful 23-year career fighting cartels, gangs, and drug traffickers. In this powerful interview, Wesley reveals how cartels smuggle drugs into the United States, the rise of violent gangs like MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the Mexican Mafia, and why he believes there's no real justice in America's system. He also opens up about the DUI crash that nearly paralyzed him and almost ended his career, along with unbelievable stories from decades on the frontlines of the war on drugs. This is an unfiltered look into the dangerous world of organized crime, cartel trafficking, and the failures of the justice system—from someone who lived it every day. #DEA #Cartels #DrugTrafficking #MS13 #MexicanMafia #TrueCrimePodcast #TrendeAragua #organizedcrime Thank you to PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

"Los tatuajes zapotecos interesan no sólo por la técnica, sino también por el simbolismo"

El arte zapoteco de Oaxaca está adquiriendo cada vez más notoriedad en el mundo. Hoy les acercamos a este arte precolombino a través del tatuaje con Javier García Ruiz, más conocido como Javie GR. Artista multidisciplinar, empezó con el graffiti, luego con el arte plástico y ya desde hace 12 años es tatuador, una profesión a la que llegó casi por casualidad. Hoy en día viaja frecuentemente a Francia donde crece la demanda de este tipo de tatuajes.  El tatuaje sigue estando muy de moda, según una encuesta hecha en 18 países y que cita el diario francés Ouest France, el 40% de los adultos lleva tatuajes. Pero el tatuaje es una práctica ancestral que ya usaban culturas muy antiguas como la zapoteca en el valle de Oaxaca (México), no sólo por el aspecto estético, sino también como ritual religioso, como signo de identidad o pertenencia a una clase social. Muchos de estos tatuajes con formas de animales estaban ligados al culto a dioses como el Cocijo, el dios de la lluvia, o el Cozobi, dios del maíz.  Este interés por la estética y por la espiritualidad zapoteca ya no sólo interesa en México sino que ha atravesado fronteras como lo atestigua Javier García Ruiz, tatuador oaxaqueño, que pasa largas temporadas en Francia y Europa donde ha crecido la demanda de este tipo de tatuajes.  "Hay mucha aceptación en Francia, pienso que es por el simbolismo que tienen (estos tatuajes), unas formas con las que se identifican", explica Javie GR, quien comenzó tatuando de forma muy artesanal cuando trabajaba en una herrería y quien ahora ya tiene su propio estudio en Oaxaca llamado Endorfina. En Francia, tatúa sobre todo animales y elementos relacionados con la naturaleza que responden a la cosmovisión mesoamericana como el nahual, la capacidad que tienen las personas, según la cultura zapoteca, de transformarse. "Tatúo zoomorfos, personas que se convierten en jaguares o aves que se convierten en personas", explica el artista que cree que los simbolismos zapotecos "a través de los años pueden servir para cambiar nuestra vida cotidiana".  La naturaleza está muy presente en los tatuajes de Javie GR y el verde es el color base de sus dibujos. "Normalmente utilizo los colores derivados del verde, es como la firma", explica.  Destatuarse, un fenómeno creciente En Estados Unidos y varios países de Latinoamérica se está produciendo un fenómeno inverso a la moda del tatuaje. Mucha gente está destatuándose dibujos que se asocian a pandillas o grupos delictivos como el Tren de Aragua de Venezuela. Algo que también ocurre en México. "He colaborado en borrar algunos símbolos de algunas pandillas, algunas veces es por miedo a otros grupos o por miedo a la policía. He borrado el número 13 (que hace referencia a la Mara Salvatrucha) o he tapado frases como 'perdona madre por mi vida loca', ese tipo de tatuajes", cuenta.  La IA, ¿aliado o enemigo de los tatuadores?  La Inteligencia Artificial ha penetrado en todos los ámbitos de nuestra sociedad y en las artes plásticas en particular. Una herramienta que puede ser muy útil , pero que puede convertirse en una amenaza. "Se puede implementar para reducir el tiempo de creación y al mismo tiempo con el paso de los años puede llegar a perjudicar porque va a quitarnos la oportunidad de la creación", lamenta.  #EscalaenParís también está en redes sociales. Un programa coordinado por Florencia Valdés, realizado por Souheil Khedir y Vanessa Loiseau.

Native-born employment is rising as 820,000 foreign workers have left, but debate rages over whether the culprits are Jerome Powell's high rates, Trump's tariff wars, Silicon Valley's AI revolution, or Biden's weak foundation.   Venezuela Narco-Terror Strike Debate: Trump sank a Tren de Aragua drug boat, killing 11. Democrats and Sen. Rand Paul demand Coast Guard arrests, while Trump's War Secretary Pete Hegseth insists, “A drug cartel is no different than al Qaeda.”   China, Russia, and India Align: Trump blasted, “Looks like we've lost India and Russia to deepest, darkest China.” Reuters revealed Beijing firms sold $50 million in drone parts and military supplies to Moscow, tightening the Xi-Putin alliance.   Zelenskyy Criticizes Trump Over Alaska Summit: The Ukrainian president told ABC it was “a pity” Trump gave Putin legitimacy. Yet he admitted, “President Trump is right about the Europeans,” as EU nations import record Russian gas despite sanctions.   Department of Defense Renamed: The White House rebrands it the Department of War, reflecting a more aggressive posture from Venezuela to Ukraine and the Pacific.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Operation Patriot 2.0 Massachusetts immigration raids, Trump Chicago Apocalypse Now meme, Savannah Hyundai raid 475 illegals, U.S. jobs report August 2025, Jerome Powell Fed rates, Trump tariffs exemptions metals, AI layoffs Salesforce, Biden weak jobs foundation, Trump Venezuela narco-terror strike, Pete Hegseth drug cartels al Qaeda, Xi Jinping Putin military alliance, China drone parts Russia, Zelenskyy Alaska summit criticism, EU Russian gas imports, Department of War rebrand Pentagon

JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN @ FOR THIS WEEK'S "ASTROLOGICALLY SPEAKING" PODCAST WHICH DROPS SEPTEMBER 5 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingAs we head toward this week's Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse on September 7, we know we'll be seeing not only the emergence of the themes of this month's set of eclipses, but also the stark reality of how they are manifesting at this point in time. The themes of all eclipse series generally manifest within the collective before their arrival. And this month's eclipses—including tomorrow's September 7 Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse which occurs at 15-degrees & 23-minutes of this empathic sign of collective energies at 11:09 a.m. PT & 2:09 p.m. ET—clearly illustrate this.It's been at least since February 21 when Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release the Epstein “list.” Subsequent actions & reactions have taken place since, but the interest in bringing justice for the perpetrators of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of hundreds—if not thousands—of young girls & women—has been prominent in the news since.This month's set of eclipses—both the September 7 Pisces Full Moon lunar eclipse & the Virgo New Moon solar eclipse on September 21—carry the same themes. Eclipses generally belong to a set of two (sometimes three) which occur twice annually & are defined as a part of the longer-term Saros Series. Each series has its own interpretation.“This Saros Series appears to be concerned with the bringing to the surfaces of long-term worries about loved ones, health, or issues to do with paperwork or communication,” according to astrologer Bernadette Brady who's analyzed the meanings of Saros series eclipses in her book “Predictive Astrology, The Eagle And The Lark.”“This could manifest as a worrying piece of news about a loved one or responsibilities with paperwork coming home to roost. Any news will have a sense of destiny or fatedness about it,” she concludes.As those of us who pay attention know, “release the Epstein files!” has been a cry heard throughout the collective for months. However, it's as the themes of this eclipse series began to manifest that these cries have grown louder, to the point where survivors of Epstein & Maxwell's abuse whose health has suffered from it, have now decided to make themselves known the world.The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein & his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell took to the steps of the U.S. Capitol on September 3--only days before the September 7 lunar eclipse--it was to implore Congress to pass the "Epstein Files Transparency Act." Doing so would “force the release of all unclassified records related to the disgraced financier held by President Donald Trump's administration,” according to Reuters. "This is about ending secrecy wherever abuse of power takes root," said Anouska De Georgiou, a former model and actress who was one of about ten self-described Epstein victims who spoke about her experience at a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol." Newsweek ran this story after reporting on what was said during this Epstein survivors' press conference on September 3, starting with this headline: “'We know the names'…Victims threaten to compile own list of abusers” The article continues: “ Jeffrey Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips said that she and fellow victims planned to compile their own list of abusers from within the disgraced financier's friends and associates, after the Trump administration denied the existence of an Epstein "client list." "We know the names. Many of us were abused by them," she said at Wednesday's Capitol Hill rally.”As Brady noted in her book about this series of eclipses: "Paperwork coming home to roost," anyone???Be sure to join us for all this Astro News You Can Use--& more about this series of eclipses—such as the years during which they occurred in the past, which might jog your memory as to whether they factored importantly into your life then! (I know they did mine!) In addition, we discuss the repercussions of Saturn's recent retrograde back into Pisces, the Mars in Libra square to Jupiter in Cancer, Uranus's station retrograde at 1-degree Gemini, & the events they've already triggered. As well as events related to the upcoming September 5/6 station of Uranus retrograde combined with its closeness to the September 7 lunar eclipse.These include the 6 magnitude earthquake in Afghanistan, which has caused 2,200 deaths to date, the defiance of international law by the Trump Administration when it “blew up” the Venezuelan boat it “suspected” of carrying drug cartel Tren de Aragua gang members & killing 11 aboard in international waters in defiance of internationally excepted maritime law (Saturn Rx in Pisces; Neptune still in Aries, anyone?)And then there's the number of legal cases ending Trump's unlawful use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport immigrants without due process by declaring the U.S. has been invaded & it “at war” & the judicial smackdown of his claim that he can unilaterally impose tariffs on any country he chooses without Congressional approval. And the judicially directed "unfreezing" of the $2.2 Billion the Trump Administration had withheld in funding from Harvard University.And…so…much…more!Tune in to “Karmic Evolution's Astrological Speaking” podcast, which drops today, September 5 @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speakingor on any of your favorite podcast stations for deeper astrological analysis of all this!

It's Thursday, September 4th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sudanese police interrupt funeral service to arrest 5 Christians Police in Sudan disrupted a funeral prayer meeting last month to arrest five Christians. The Christians are South Sudanese. Police have been targeting Ethiopian and South Sudanese nationals for deportation as civil war rages in Sudan. Muslim extremists in the country are also calling for officials to arrest South Sudanese Christians in particular.  A local church leader told Morning Star News, “There is a growing fear among the South Sudanese Christians. So, they remain indoors in order to avoid being arrested.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Sudan. The Northeast African nation is ranked fifth on the Open Doors World Watch List of the most difficult countries to be a Christian.  Sudanese landslide killed 1,000 people Speaking of Sudan, the country suffered one of its worst natural disasters in recent history.  On Sunday, a landslide wiped out the village of Tarasin in the western region of Darfur. Only one person survived, leaving an estimated 1,000 people dead. The landslide came after weeks of heavy rainfall in the mountainous region. Getting aid to the area is already difficult due to the ongoing civil war. In recent years, Sudan's conflict has generated what is considered the world's largest humanitarian crisis.  25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024 The United Bible Societies Fellowship reached 240 countries and territories with millions of copies of the Bible last year. The Fellowship of Bible Societies facilitated 25.9 million digital Bible downloads in 2024. This outpaced full Bible printings for the first time. The fellowship distributed 22.5 million printed Bibles last year. It also distributed 8.6 million printed New Testaments and over 118 million printed portions of Scripture.  Brazil led the way in printed and digital distribution, followed by India, China, Nigeria, and the Philippines.  Brazilian homeschool mom lost her case in court Earlier this week, a Brazilian court heard a case of a mom prosecuted for homeschooling her son.   Regiane Cichelero was facing fines of $20,000 and threats of losing custody of her child, for daring to choose home education on religious grounds.   Alliance Defending Freedom International has taken up the case. Her legal counsel, Julio Pohl, points out that “No parent should fear state punishment for choosing to homeschool their child. Regiane made a lawful and conscientious decision to teach her son at home. We are hopeful that the court will affirm her rights and take an important step toward protecting parental rights in Brazil.”   Sadly, Cichelero lost the case.  She was ordered to re-enroll her child in Brazilian public school and ordered to pay the equivalent of $20,000 for not complying. She said, “We will take the case to the Supreme Federal Court and from there, if we continue to receive a ‘no,' we will take it to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.” She had a special message for the Christian homeschoolers who have been praying for her. Cichelero said, “To you who prayed, my sincere thanks. Remember, prayers never return empty. The Lord is sovereign over all things. The Lord has called us for this time, for this cause, for this moment. We are writing history. … He is still the God who controls everything. He has not abandoned us!” US military strike kills 11 Venezuelan terrorists in boat with narcotics The United States conducted a military strike on Tuesday on a drug boat from Venezuela. On Truth Social, President Trump wrote, “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.” Listen to comments from President Trump. TRUMP: “On the boat, you had massive amounts of drugs. We have tapes of them speaking. It was massive amounts of drugs coming into our country to kill a lot of people. Everybody fully understands that. In fact, you see it, you see the bags of drugs all over the boat. And they were hit obviously. They won't be doing it again. And I think a lot of other people won't be doing it again when they watch that tape. We have to protect our country, and we're going to.” President Trump said the terrorists belonged to Tren de Aragua. The Venezuelan gang is responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence.  Trump supports Christian pregnancy centers The Trump administration is supporting Christian pregnancy centers in New Jersey in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. First Choice Women's Resource Centers is challenging New Jersey's unconstitutional investigation into its operations. Erin Hawley, Senior Counsel with Alliance Defending Freedom, said, “New Jersey's attorney general is targeting First Choice—a ministry that provides parenting classes, free ultrasounds, baby clothes, and more to its community—simply because of its pro-life views. The Constitution protects First Choice and its donors from demands by a hostile state official to disclose their identities.” 50% of Congress are people of Biblical principle The Christian Employers Alliance released their new report card on U.S. Congressional leaders. The index scores lawmakers on a 0-to-100 scale based on their alignment with Biblical principles. Republicans tended to score better than Democrats. Of the 535 members of Congress, half scored 50% or better. Margaret Luculano is the president of the Christian Employers Alliance. She told the Washington Examiner, “Our faith is the foundation of how we live and lead, and lawmakers need that same compass as they face complex policies. That's why we launched the Biblical Business Index — a first-of-its-kind tool bringing together theologians and policy experts to connect Scripture with today's legislation.” Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:15, “By me kings reign, and rulers decree justice.” Gen Z & Millennials attend church more often than older Americans And finally, the Barna Group released new research from its ongoing State of the Church initiative. The report found Christians from younger generations are attending church more frequently than before. They also attend more often than Christians from older generations.  Churchgoers from Gen Z attend 1.9 times per month, while Millennials attend 1.8 times per month. The average for U.S. churched adults is 1.6 per month. Also, Gen Z and Millennial churchgoers attend nearly twice as much as they did in 2020. Psalm 122:1 says, “I was glad when they said to me, ‘Let us go into the house of the LORD.'” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 4th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

This follows the designation of Tren de Aragua as terrorists and a directive by President Donald J. Trump for the military to go after such “narco-terrorist” targets. While it may not be the top story in the news, it's a major development that takes us into new rough waters in the drug war but it could also be the build up to a further U.S. attack on Venezuela.

Tras reunirse este miércoles la presidenta mexicana Claudia Sheinbaum y el secretario de Estado estadounidense Marco Rubio, ambos gobiernos anunciaron un entendimiento en materia de seguridad y de lucha contra el crimen organizado. Si bien aún no se ha firmado, los grandes rasgos fueron esbozados en un comunicado conjunto que parece disipar los temores sobre una intervención militar de Estados Unidos en México. Entrevista al especialista en seguridad Armando Rodríguez Luna.  Soberanía. Esa es una de las palabras clave del entendimiento alcanzado este miércoles entre México y Estados Unidos para colaborar de forma bilateral en la lucha contra el narcotráfico. Washington lleva meses presionando para que los mexicanos demuestren que están actuando, y la presión ha aumentado en los últimos días, explica el experto en seguridad y crimen organizado en México, Armando Rodríguez Luna, del Colegio de Análisis de la Seguridad con Democracia. "Con respecto a las acciones que está llevando a cabo Estados Unidos contra los grupos del crimen organizado, designados también como 'organizaciones terroristas', el más claro ejemplo es lo que sucedió ayer en Venezuela [el gobierno estadounidense afirmó haber destruido una embarcación que presuntamente pertenecía al grupo criminal venezolano Tren de Aragua y transportaba drogas desde Venezuela]. La presidenta Sheinbaum estaba muy preocupada porque Estados Unidos desplegó barcos en el Golfo de México y en el Pacífico mexicano, o cerca de las costas mexicanas. También se realizaron diversos vuelos de reconocimiento de carácter militar sobre el territorio mexicano". Un nuevo modelo de inteligencia en México Este acuerdo, resalta Rodríguez Luna, podría incluso abrir un nuevo modelo de inteligencia. "El establecer marcos de cooperación, particularmente en las áreas de inteligencia que el gobierno mexicano pueda ofrecer al gobierno estadounidense, creo que es la principal moneda de cambio que buscaba el gobierno de Sheinbaum. Porque a cargo de la inteligencia contra el crimen organizado está su principal hombre de confianza: Omar García Harfuch. Ella va a fortalecer tanto la figura de García Harfuch como todo el andamiaje legal e institucional que está en proceso de construirse dentro de México. Había muchos obstáculos por temas de desconfianza dentro de México. Las Fuerzas Armadas son las principales generadoras de inteligencia dentro del país". Los dos gobiernos han anunciado, además, que crearán un grupo de implementación de alto nivel. "Grupos de alto nivel en materia de seguridad ha habido muchos prácticamente desde 2008, cuando surge la Iniciativa Mérida. Ahora, esperemos que este nuevo grupo de alto nivel pueda construir desde el Congreso de Estados Unidos la posibilidad de garantizar y hacer sostenible que puedan fluir tanto los recursos, ya sea monetarios o en especie. Ahora, por otra parte, este grupo de alto nivel tiene que traducirse en grupos operativos en temas muy específicos, por ejemplo, el del ‘huachicol' o tráfico ilegal de combustibles, evidentemente el del fentanilo y las metanfetaminas, tráfico de armas, etc. Pero ahí vamos avanzando poco a poco".

In this episode of The Wright Report, we go around the globe for breaking updates on Trump's strike in Venezuela, Mexico's trade and cartel challenges, Canada's housing lesson, Europe's political revolt, the free speech crisis in the UK, and China's bid to reshape global power. From warships in the Caribbean to propaganda in Tiananmen Square, today's brief delivers the facts you need to navigate a rapidly changing world.   Trump Authorizes Strike on Venezuelan Drug Boat: The U.S. military sank a Tren de Aragua vessel, killing 11 narco-terrorists. Trump warned, “Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” With warships and Marines stationed nearby, speculation grows that regime change could be on the table, despite White House denials.   Secretary Rubio in Mexico for Trade, Cartels, and Screwworms: President Sheinbaum raises tariffs on China under Trump's pressure, aligning with a “Fortress North America” strategy. Poverty in Mexico drops by 13 million, but reports credit Trump's 2018 labor reforms. Meanwhile, cartel boss El Mayo admitted decades of bribing Mexican politicians, and ranchers accuse Sheinbaum of letting screwworm-infested cattle in from Guatemala.   Canada's Immigration Cuts Ease Housing Costs: Bloomberg reports that stricter immigration policies have cooled Canada's housing crisis. Bryan draws a parallel: if the U.S. removed 15 to 30 million illegals, millions of homes would free up for Americans.   Europe Turns Right Amid Free Speech Crackdowns: Conservative parties surge in Germany, France, Italy, and the UK. Yet in Britain, a comedian was arrested for posts about transgender issues, joining thousands jailed yearly for “offensive” speech. VP JD Vance warned such laws amount to “civilizational suicide.”   Trump, Europe, and Ukraine's Stalemate: Trump expressed disappointment in Putin and frustration with Europe's refusal to send troops, saying peace is delayed by “maximalist demands.” European leaders hesitate, offering only weapons and logistics while rejecting boots on the ground.   China Hosts BRICS and Flaunts Military Might: Xi Jinping told India's Modi, “The globe today is swept by a once-in-a-century transformation,” signaling closer ties between Beijing and New Delhi. At a Tiananmen Square parade, Xi showcased drones and weapons while erasing U.S. contributions in WWII. Trump hit back online: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against The United States of America.” Bryan warns Xi's rise represents a “new Dark Age” for humanity if unchecked.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Venezuela drug boat strike, Tren de Aragua narco-terrorists, Marco Rubio Mexico City talks, Mexico tariffs on China, Mexican poverty drop Trump labor reforms, El Mayo cartel bribes, screwworm outbreak Guatemala cattle, Canada immigration housing shortage, Europe populist conservative surge, UK comedian arrested free speech, JD Vance civilizational suicide UK, Trump Europe Ukraine peace talks, Xi Jinping BRICS Modi meeting, China Tiananmen military parade, Trump Xi Putin Kim social media post

Today's Headlines: Trump finally reappeared yesterday—45 minutes late to his big Oval Office presser—where he confirmed Space Force HQ is moving from Colorado Springs to Huntsville, Alabama (something we already knew thanks to a DoD slip-up). Asked about his mysterious five-day absence and rumors he'd died, Trump brushed it off, then pivoted to announce he's sending National Guard troops into Chicago, prompting Gov. JB Pritzker to accuse the feds of already staging units nearby. At the same time, Sec. of State Marco Rubio announced a U.S. strike on a Venezuela-linked drug boat in the Caribbean that killed 11, with Trump posting an explosion video on Truth Social as his version of “just say no.” Meanwhile, Trump's two-week “deadline” for peace in Ukraine passed without progress—Putin was too busy in China attending Xi Jinping's WWII anniversary parade with North Korea's Kim Jong Un and his daughter/successor Kim Ju Ae. Back in D.C., Congress returned from recess facing another looming shutdown and the Epstein files circus: six survivors testified on Capitol Hill as lawmakers released 30,000 pages of mostly redundant documents, while still pressing DOJ for the unredacted batch.

//The Wire//2300Z September 3, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: WHITE HOUSE SHARES DETAILS OF NARCO-VESSEL STRIKE AS TENSIONS REMAIN HIGH THROUGHOUT THE REGION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Caribbean Sea: The Pentagon released amplifying details regarding yesterdays sinking of a suspected narco-vessel in the waters off the coast of Venezuela. 11x people were on board the vessel, which was struck with a missile. The Pentagon has stated that the individuals onboard were positively identified as narcotics traffickers.-HomeFront-Mississippi: Details have come to light regarding an incident that took place over the weekend in the town of Oxford. The Oxford Police Department criminally charged the owner of Booth's Barbecue for holding an event at their legally-operated business within the town. The restaurant held a weekend event that resulted in parking issues around the town, and resulted in general congestion due to the large crowds. During the events of the day, one individual produced a firearm and began shooting at another individual, in what is suspected as being a gang dispute.Following this shooting, the owners of the restaurant were cited for "inadequate security" and failing to have a "safety plan", in addition to other charges.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As a reminder, the verbiage being used to refer to those killed in the strike off the coast of Venezuela reflects the previous efforts to classify Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, so all of these individuals are referred to as "terrorists" and not drug traffickers. Contrary to popular belief, this classification does not often result in vibes or essays but rather the application of Rules of Engagement in accordance with the UCMJ and the guidance set forth by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) in Joint Publication 3-60.As far as the paperwork goes, Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro himself is listed as the leader of this "terrorist organization", which is largely contradictory as TdA has opposed Maduro in the past, with most of the gang being rounded up and thrown in Venezuelan prisons. The details of the strike itself are also interesting as it's not very common to see eleven people onboard a vessel that is primarily conducting drug trafficking operations.Nevertheless, the strike itself is mostly tactically irrelevant but serves two very important functions: To send a very strong message to Maduro, and also to gauge public sentiment within the United States to determine if the American people will accept future operations.Here at home, there is always the possibility that this escalation will result in threats within the homeland; the thousands of different gangs, criminal syndicates, and those sympathetic to cartel operations are probably not too pleased with the recent developments in South America. On the other hand, it must be noted that Central American gangs and criminal enterprises have very different motivations than what many may be familiar with from the past 40 years of fighting counterinsurgencies in the Middle East...most nefarious groups in Central and South America are financially-motivated, not ideologically-motivated. It is possible that knee-jerk protests/demonstrations will be the result from protesters, but most of this will not really be relevant when it comes to risk. The real concerns to watch out for are how cartel traffickers respond to this development: some cells/groups may go further underground and lay low for a while, but others may become emboldened and attempt to stand and fight. If larger and more influential cartels/groups decide that fighting back in a more kinetic manner is the option that is in their best interest, the situation may become very kinetic rather quickly.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPO

The host argues that the Democrats' consistent protection of the gang, from local law enforcement to federal courts, suggests a deliberate strategy to allow the group to establish itself in the U.S. The transcript frames this as a "political civil war," with the Trump administration's use of military and federal resources to target these gangs being actively resisted by Democrats who, according to the speaker, are enabling the criminal enterprises for political gain.

This segment argues that America is in a "civil war" for control of its cities, with the Trump administration's use of executive power clashing with what the speaker views as a rogue Democratic resistance. The discussion focuses on a federal appeals court ruling that barred the president from using the National Guard for law enforcement in California, a decision the host claims is a politically motivated attempt to protect criminal networks. The segment asserts that the Democratic Party is intentionally allowing groups like Tren de Aragua to operate in the U.S. and that this is part of a larger, coordinated effort to destabilize the country and seize power, with foreign adversaries like China playing a role. The host concludes by saying that these unprecedented events, including a grand jury's refusal to indict an individual for threatening to kill a president, show a breakdown of the justice system and a society on the brink.

This segment examines the Trump administration's approach to combating transnational criminal organizations, specifically focusing on the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. The discussion delves into the group's alleged activities, including human trafficking and drug smuggling, and the administration's efforts to counter them. It also explores the complex relationship between the gang, the Venezuelan government, and the actions of U.S. law enforcement, questioning why certain agencies and political figures may have initially hesitated to act. The transcript highlights the view that a more aggressive stance is necessary to combat these organizations, and suggests there may be a deeper, more politically motivated connection at play.

Court Rules Trump Cannot Use Wartime Law For Deportations; Nations Hostile to U.S. Meet in China | NTD Good MorningAn appeals court ruling has dealt a blow to the Trump administration's deportation efforts. A three-judge panel at the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan gang members is illegal.

This Day in Legal History: Frederick Douglass Escapes SlaveryOn this day in legal history, September 3, 1838, Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery, setting in motion a life that would fundamentally reshape American legal and political thought. Disguised as a free Black sailor, Douglass boarded a train in Baltimore and made his way north to freedom, ultimately arriving in New York City. His flight from bondage was not just a personal liberation—it was a direct challenge to the legal regime of American slavery, upheld at the time by both state laws and federal statutes such as the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. Douglass's successful escape, aided by forged documents and the relative leniency of northern vigilance at the time, highlights the tension between laws protecting property in human beings and the moral and constitutional arguments against such laws.Once free, Douglass became one of the most powerful legal thinkers of the 19th century, though he was never formally trained as a lawyer. Through his speeches, writings, and public advocacy, he shaped legal discourse on citizenship, equal protection, and constitutional interpretation. He directly influenced Reconstruction-era legal developments, including debates over the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. His 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” offered a searing legal and moral critique of the Constitution's complicity with slavery, while still asserting its potential as a freedom-promoting document when interpreted through a natural rights lens.Douglass's escape, and the career it made possible, also underscored the limits of law in the face of moral justice: in 1838, his very existence in the North was criminal under federal law. That reality would not change until the formal abolition of slavery in 1865. His advocacy helped lay the groundwork for a new legal order that could no longer reconcile itself with the ownership of people. September 3 is not just the anniversary of one man's flight—it marks a turning point in the long legal struggle to align American law with its professed ideals.President Donald Trump is prepared to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold his administration's use of emergency powers to impose broad tariffs, including those targeting fentanyl and “reciprocal” trade imbalances. This follows two significant legal defeats, including a 7-4 ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) does not grant the president sweeping tariff authority. The court held that the statute, enacted in 1977, lacks any reference to tariffs among its regulatory tools, creating a serious challenge to the legal basis for Trump's actions.Despite the legal headwinds, Trump's team remains optimistic, noting the conservative 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court and the Court's traditional deference in matters of foreign affairs. However, legal scholars suggest the case hinges on the major questions doctrine, which requires Congress to speak clearly when authorizing executive action with major economic or political impact. This doctrine was previously used to strike down President Biden's student loan forgiveness plan in 2023.Observers expect the Court to address whether IEEPA's silence on tariffs means such powers were never intended. If the Court rules against Trump, his administration is already eyeing fallback legal authorities, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act and Section 338 of the Smoot-Hawley Act, to keep tariffs in place. Meanwhile, nearly $66 billion in collected duties could be subject to refunds if importers challenge payments. A Supreme Court decision is likely by early 2026, with significant consequences for presidential trade powers.Trump to ask Supreme Court to save tariffs but faces tough legal questionsA U.S. federal judge ruled that Google can keep its Chrome browser and Android operating system, dealing a blow to antitrust enforcers who had hoped for more aggressive remedies. However, the judge ordered Google to begin sharing key search and advertising data with competitors in an effort to restore competition in online search. This decision follows a five-year legal battle in which Judge Amit Mehta previously found Google to be maintaining an illegal monopoly in search and related advertising. Despite that finding, Mehta declined to force structural changes like breaking up Google, citing recent advances in AI as creating new, organic competition.The ruling is a partial victory for Google and Apple, as it allows the two tech giants to continue their $20 billion annual deal that makes Google the default search engine on Apple devices. It also permits Google to maintain similar agreements with device makers like Samsung and Motorola, although exclusive contracts are now banned. Google stock jumped over 7% in after-hours trading following the decision.The court emphasized that AI companies like OpenAI are already better positioned to compete with Google than traditional search competitors have been in decades. The data-sharing order could benefit developers of AI-powered search tools and browsers, but the competitive impact may not be felt immediately. Google, while considering an appeal, expressed concerns that the order could undermine user privacy.The ruling is likely to be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, where Mehta's restrained approach may stand a better chance of surviving appeal. The case is part of a broader government crackdown on Big Tech, which includes ongoing legal battles involving Google, Meta, Amazon, and Apple.Google keeps Chrome and Apple deal but must share data in big antitrust rulingThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that President Donald Trump unlawfully used the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport a group of Venezuelans he alleged were members of the Tren de Aragua gang. In a 2–1 decision, the court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the deportations, marking the first appellate ruling to directly address Trump's invocation of the centuries-old law through a March 14 presidential proclamation.Writing for the majority, Judge Leslie Southwick rejected the administration's claim that the gang's presence constituted a "predatory incursion" under the law, which only authorizes deportations during times of declared war or invasions. The court emphasized that neither condition was met. Judge Irma Carrillo Ramirez joined Southwick, while Trump appointee Judge Andrew Oldham dissented.The ruling is a setback for the Trump administration, which had sought to use the Alien Enemies Act—a wartime measure—to conduct swift removals of alleged gang members without traditional due process. The Supreme Court had already intervened in May, halting removals on procedural grounds and criticizing the administration for providing only 24 hours' notice to detainees without clear instructions on how to contest deportation.The American Civil Liberties Union, representing the Venezuelans, hailed the decision as a vital check on presidential power, warning against executive overreach during peacetime. Legal experts expect the issue to eventually return to the Supreme Court. The administration may first seek a rehearing from the full Fifth Circuit.US appeals court rejects Trump's use of Alien Enemies Act to deport VenezuelansThe 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling that had declared the federal machine gun ban unconstitutional, upholding the long-standing prohibition on such weapons. The case centered on Tamori Morgan, a Kansas man charged with possessing a machine gun and a conversion device known as a "Glock switch." A federal judge in Wichita, appointed by President Donald Trump, had previously dismissed the charges, citing the Supreme Court's 2022 Bruen decision, which required modern gun laws to align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation.The appeals court, however, found that Bruen did not dismantle the existing legal framework established in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), which protects weapons “in common use” for lawful self-defense. Writing for the unanimous three-judge panel, Judge Scott Matheson held that machine guns do not meet that standard and are primarily used for unlawful purposes, even if their usage is more widespread than official data suggests.Congress first regulated machine guns in 1934 and fully banned the possession of newly manufactured ones in 1986. The appellate ruling reinforces the idea that such weapons fall outside the Second Amendment's protections, despite recent expansions of individual gun rights. The court emphasized that even under Bruen, regulations do not require a perfect historical match—only a relevant analogue, which the machine gun ban has.US appeals court upholds machine gun ban, reversing trial judgeMy column for Bloomberg this week takes a hard look at the newly expanded federal Child Tax Credit (CTC) and asks whether it's really doing what it claims: reducing child poverty. On the surface, the policy looks like progress. The maximum credit is up to $2,200 and now indexed to inflation—something advocates have long called for. But dig into the mechanics, and a more troubling picture emerges.Despite the expansion, around 19 million children—28% of all kids in the U.S.—will remain ineligible for the full credit simply because their families don't earn enough. That's not a glitch; it's built into the law. The income phase-in structure means the poorest families, those most in need, get the least. In fact, a family of four has to make $41,500 to qualify for the full benefit—well above the federal poverty line of $32,150.This flawed design disproportionately affects Black, Latino, and Native American children, as well as kids in single-parent and rural households. And it's a bipartisan failure: Columbia University's data shows the exclusions cut across red and blue congressional districts almost evenly. That's part of what makes this so frustrating—lawmakers on both sides get to claim credit for “expanding” the CTC, even as millions of children continue to be left behind.Meanwhile, states are quietly filling the gap. Since the expiration of the more generous pandemic-era CTC in 2021, about a dozen states have implemented their own refundable credits. The results speak volumes. In Minnesota, for example, a $1,750 per-child credit is projected to lift 13,000 children out of poverty—nearly half the impact of the expanded federal credit in that state. Colorado and Vermont have seen similar success.The message here is that small, targeted, refundable state credits can work—and are working. Columbia's numbers prove that these policies are more than symbolic; they're helping real families. But that momentum could vanish if states assume Washington has solved the problem. The federal version may dominate headlines, but it's the state-level credits doing the actual heavy lifting.Tax policy doesn't usually offer much moral clarity, but this time it does. States have the tools to fight child poverty. The only real question is whether they'll use them—or wait around for Congress to deliver another “big, beautiful” fix that never arrives.Trump's New Child Tax Credit Deems Millions ‘Too Poor' to Qualify This is a public episode.
