According to Politico, the order has “shocked” State Department officials and appears to apply to funding for military assistance to Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump’s administration is not interested in taking part in the reconstruction of Ukraine after the conflict is resolved, Bloomberg reported on Friday. Trump’s team has signaled that it doesn’t intend to engage directly in rebuilding the country, suggesting that this responsibility would be handled by the private sector, the outlet said, citing a senior diplomat.

Moscow wants to resume disarmament negotiations with the US as soon as possible, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists on Friday.

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he supports targeted counter-tariffs in response to potential U.S. tariffs, but firmly opposes retaliatory export taxes on Canadian goods.

South African president signs controversial land seizure bill, eroding private property rights

The law replaces the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa signed into law a bill that will allow the government to seize land without having to pay compensation, which some in the government say is a threat to private ownership. The law, which replaces the pre-democratic Expropriation Act of 1975, "outlines how expropriation can be done and on what basis" by the state, the government says, according to the BBC. Ramaphosa's party, the African National Congress, or ANC, hailed the law as a "significant milestone." However, some members of the government have signaled they will challenge the legality of the law.

Trump may seek deal and a new tack on Iran, analyst predicts

President Donald Trump's policy on Iran may depart from the maximum pressure campaign of sanctions which defined his first term, Alexander Farley of the Woodrow Wilson Center told Iran International.

Trump has excoriated his predecessor Joe Biden for allowing Iran to rake in more revenue from oil sales to boost armed allies in the region. Newly appointed aides have pledged to revive a so-called maximum pressure campaign of sanctions on Iran to compel it to drop its disputed nuclear program. But Trump's public break with two officials who helped mastermind the strategy may indicate a new tack on how to deal with Washington's Mideast arch-enemy.

Contrary to agreement: Hamas will free IDF soldiers Karina Ariev, Danielle Gilboa, Naama Levy and Liri Albag

Osama Hamdan: "We believe that the October 7 Al-Aqsa Flood Battle launched the great war of liberation, for the sake of liberating Jerusalem and Palestine. We believe that this was not just a military operation, and that the path of the 471 days [of war] has not been one of self-defense.

State and local law enforcement officials will soon be deputized to assist federal immigration agents in ongoing enforcement and deportation operations across the country, according to Trump’s White Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The deputations were announced by Miller on Friday, with the addendum that those state and local officials who stand in the way of federal action will be arrested and prosecuted under the law.

“So this is an example of how President Trump is unleashing a vast and broad array of federal statutory authorities to secure the homeland,” Miller said. He continued: “The Secretary of Homeland Security has the authority to deputize both federal law enforcement, as well as state and local law enforcement, and the National Guard to conduct immigration enforcement activities.”

President Trump Cancels Fauci’s Taxpayer-Funded Security Detail

President Donald J. Trump has terminated the security detail for Dr. Anthony Fauci, which was being paid for by American taxpayers through the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Previously, Dr. Fauci was provided a security detail by the U.S. Marshals Service, which cost taxpayers around $15 million over the period of just two years. After the U.S. Marshals canceled their security detail for Fauci last month, a private contractor was hired at taxpayer expense.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) pushed for removing Fauci’s security earlier this week, stating: “I wish him nothing but peace, but he needs to pay for his own limos.” Following Trump’s order, Fauci will now have to pay for security out of his own pocket.

PayPal Admits Freezing Account Over Covid Mandate Criticism

PayPal's internal documents reveal a politically charged decision-making process behind Covid-era account closures.

It seemed pretty obvious as it was happening – but now there appears to be proof that PayPal was punishing users for their Covid-era speech that didn’t align with official narratives. One of the critics of pandemic mandates that got “debanked” is UsForThem founder Molly Kingsley, who has been told by PayPal that her account got frozen because it was used to receive donations, and that was found to be outside the payment giant’s “acceptable use” rules. The parent campaign group and Kingsley were vocal critics of obligatory Covid vaccination of children, forcing them to wear face masks, as well as school closures.

Meet the new boss: Trump's "Stargate" would use AI to power mRNA cancer shots, absolute surveillance, and transhumanism

Stargate: Trump directs US gov. to support transhumanist goal of creating 'artificial superintelligence'

On his first full day as the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump publicly announced that he is directing the U.S. government to support a planned $500 billion infrastructure project to enable the creation of superintelligence.

Known as “The Stargate Project,” the new company has already started building 10 data centers in Texas, and plans to soon expand the construction of data centers and energy infrastructure across the U.S. While “The Stargate Project” will be privately funded, Trump said that he will use his powers as president to ensure its rapid realization, in order to stay ahead of China and other competitors in AI development. “I will help a lot through emergency declarations, because we have an emergency, we have to get this stuff built,” Trump said.

AI can now replicate itself — a milestone that has experts terrified

Scientists say AI has crossed a critical 'red line' after demonstrating how two popular large language models could clone themselves.

Scientists say artificial intelligence (AI) has crossed a critical "red line" and has replicated itself. In a new study, researchers from China showed that two popular large language models (LLMs) could clone themselves. "Successful self-replication under no human assistance is the essential step for AI to outsmart [humans], and is an early signal for rogue AIs," the researchers wrote in the study, published Dec. 9, 2024 to the preprint database arXiv. In the study, researchers from Fudan University used LLMs from Meta and Alibaba to determine whether a self-replicating AI could multiply beyond control. Across 10 trials, the two AI models created separate and functioning replicas of themselves in 50% and 90% of cases, respectively — suggesting AI may already have the capacity to go rogue. However, the study has not yet been peer-reviewed, so it's not clear if the disturbing results can be replicated by other researchers.

UFO whistleblowers expose 80-year cover-up of the existence of alien life in new doc

Davos 2025 Celebrates Neo-Paganist Movement – Promotes Giving Personhood to Forests, Rivers, Valleys and Streams (VIDEO)

Since at least 2020, the World Economic Forum has argued in favor of giving nature, rivers, valleys, and streams personhood.

According to a previous article on the WEF website, granting legal personhood to forests, rivers, and species could give them the best chance of survival and renewal. But in order to do this, the paganist group claims, “you must listen to and understand the language of nature” itself. The pagan movement to grant nature personhood took off last year when Canada classified the Quebec River a person under the law. This label protects the river from harm by humans. On Thursday, a Davos speaker again encouraged world leaders to start granting personhood to nature.
