US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has refused to rule out striking targets in Iran in the wake of repeated strikes on Iran-linked groups across the Middle East. Speaking to NBC, Sullivan was asked repeatedly if the US was considering attacks inside Iran.
"Well, sitting here today on a national news program, I'm not going to get into what we've ruled in and ruled out from the point of view of military action," he said. "What I will say is that the president is determined to respond forcefully to attacks on our people. The president also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East."
Tehran warns Biden that if US strikes Iranian soil in retaliation for death of three soldiers the Islamist regime will hit back at American targets across the Middle East - sparking all-out war between the foes
Iran has told the United States through intermediaries that any strike on its own soil would cross a red line and provoke reprisals on American targets in the region, according to a report.
The grim warning came as the world holds its breath to see how Joe Biden will respond to the killing of three U.S. soldiers by Iranian-backed militias. Biden on Tuesday said he had already made his decision regarding reprisals for the deaths on Sunday - but did not disclose what it was.

Israel’s national security minister backs Trump over Biden
Itamar Ben-Gvir has accused US President Biden of not giving Israel enough freedom to fight Hamas
Israeli national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has criticized US President Biden’s approach to Israel’s war in Gaza, arguing that the situation would be “completely different” if former President Donald Trump were in power. “Instead of giving us his full backing, Biden is busy with giving humanitarian aid and fuel (to Gaza), which goes to Hamas,” Ben-Gvir told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. “If Trump was in power, the US conduct would be completely different.”

Beijing Powerless As Chinese Stocks Crater After Trump Confirms He Will Impose 60% Tariffs
Last week's dead cat bounce in Chinese stocks - after Beijing did everything but launch a multi-trillion fiscal stimmy bazooka (something it will do, later if not sooner) - is a distant memory, and as Asian markets open for trading in the news week, Chinese markets are cratering with the Shanghai Composite plunging as much as 3.1% to a fresh five-year low ... while the broader CSI 1,000 Index is also in free-fall and also on pace to re-test the 2018 lows with as many as 990 of the 1000 companies of the index in the red.
Zelensky pledges Ukrainian leadership purge
Not only his top general will be fired but a ‘series of state leaders’ will go, the former comedian has warned
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is planning a “serious” overhaul of his leadership team, he told Italy’s RAI TG1 news channel, when asked about a reported plan to fire military commander General Valery Zaluzhny. Tensions between the Ukrainian president and his top general have grown since last year, with numerous reports over the past week suggesting Zaluzhny would soon be relieved of his post. In the interview published on Sunday, Zelensky addressed the rumors for the first time.
The Switzerland-Ukraine Peace Conference
Last March, in our article “Switzerland is in danger“, we discussed how and why Switzerland received its greatest privilege, how significant these privileges of neutrality are for Switzerland and what – only positive – consequences this privilege has had for the development of our small country. And yes, we have the Russians to thank for this privilege. We have also pointed out the dangers. Switzerland seems to be lurching headlong in the wrong direction – weak leaders with traits of megalomania are responsible for this. They seem to see the duties imposed on them in the constitution as recommendations that can be bent beyond recognition.

German fears grow that NATO won’t survive Trump – NYT
The Republican frontrunner has repeatedly questioned the bloc’s usefulness, accusing its members of freeloading off the US
There is growing concern among the German leadership that NATO will not survive if Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is reelected as US president, the New York Times has claimed.

Thousands of Canadian businesses could go bust – report
Many small companies have been struggling to repay pandemic-era government support, according to Reuters
Thousands of small businesses in Canada face the risk of closing down after the government ended pandemic-era support last month and as interest rates are at a two-decade high, according to a Reuters report. A surge in bankruptcies, which already jumped by 38% in the first 11 months of 2023, would weigh on the country’s economic growth, lobby groups and economists cited by Reuters warn.
CRESCIA: Canada is more broken than ever
The Trudeau Liberals recently gathered for a cabinet retreat to hit the reset button after a disastrous 2023 that saw the country become more broken than ever before. No big announcements emerged but the Liberals spent time ruminating about the consequences of a Trump presidency: “Mr. Trump represents a certain amount of unpredictability, but we will make sure we’re pulling together and preparing for whatever eventualities,” said Trudeau.
Trump is far from assured of the presidency. Since the Second World War, no incumbent has lost an election and the US economy is firing on all cylinders.
How The Satanic WEF Propaganda Network Uses A.I. To Carry Out Brainwashing To Control The People Through Dystopian Dark Psychology, Trying To Turn Demonic Deceptions Into 'Truth'
You must be grounded in reality to determine what is truth and what are lies
Computers. They are all over the place and even reside in many things you may be surprised to realize they are controlling. This hackneyed component of modern life has been around in some form for millennia from the simple numeral frame to the more advanced abacus and included the use of fingers, stones etc to represent multiples and sets of other numbers (I will admit to still using that method for quick calculations). Their basic history and functions are actually easy to understand and we have covered it before, but a refresher may be a nice option at this point.
Your Tax Dollars for Davos
A few weeks ago, while watching the 54th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum for updates on their coordinated strategy to promote Central Bank Digital Currencies and digital tyranny, something on my Twitter/X feed caught my attention.
Amidst these events, Congressman Scott Perry introduced the “Defund Davos Act.” Initially, I was shocked to learn that we, as taxpayers, were funding the WEF at all. However, further investigation revealed that since 2013, we have provided at least $60 million in taxpayer funding to the WEF.

Dead Dolphins Wash Up on Texas Beaches
Dead dolphins have been washing up on Texas beaches as the state’s stranding season peaks.
Around 18 dolphins have already been stranded along the Gulf Coast in January, and this number is only expected to increase, the nonprofit Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network told Newsweek in an email. “It is dolphin stranding season for Texas and over the next few months we will likely continue to see an increase in stranded dolphins, both alive and dead, due to various causes,” Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network said on a Facebook post.
to quote this piece… “since the second world war no incumbent has lost the presidency”… 🤔…
How about Carter, Bush, Senior and Trump?
"Trump is far from assured of the presidency. Since the Second World War, no incumbent has lost an election and the US economy is firing on all cylinders"
This is firing on all cylinders, I'd sure hate to see it drop a couple. -Edwin
