🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Helicopters are lowering 4,800-pound bunker busters onto a US carrier in the Arabian Sea... and the ship's weapons officer says the magazine is already at war footing The Journal followed the Washington's "gun boss" through an at-sea resupply that brought fuel, stores and a large shipment of standoff missiles and GBU-31 bunker busters, the 2,000-pound JDAM built for hardened targets, stacked on skids as "rolling stock" so crews can run them up the elevators to the deck the minute a mission drops. Asked what the room looks like during a ramp-up, he said this is it. Pickaxe Mountain's tunnel mouths, the cleared entrances at the missile cities, Eagle 44's taxiway portals: that's what a GBU-31 is for, and the ship is holding a magazine full of them...

🇺🇸Trump: "Why can't we take people from Norway and Sweden and Denmark?" Because Nordic nations consistently rank at the top for global happiness, healthcare, education and quality of life. Nobody from those countries is looking to leave that for...this. Writer: Bri t.co/dz5NfYmxWL

🇺🇸🇮🇷 America’s top counterterrorism office was reportedly told to stop investigating foreign ties to the Charlie Kirk assassination... and Trump may have read that killing as a warning not to walk away from the Iran war... The president got shot in the ear at Butler, a second gunman got close at West Palm Beach, his security was breached in public more than once, and then the man in his inner circle arguing hardest against another round with Iran was killed on a stage. Joe Kent, who ran the National Counterterrorism Center until this year, says his own office hit a wall: "We were stopped. We were told, hey, it's a lone gunman. You know, we've nothing else to see here." Joe says he can't prove a network was behind it, but any analyst assessing a foreign leader with that sequence of events would assume it shaped his thinking, and he believes Trump never wanted this war and understands a message when one is sent. He won't rule out Israel one day targeting a US official either, though he thinks the money works too well for them to need it... yet. On the claims about Lindsey Graham surfacing since his death, Joe's question is why material that damaging never leaked while he was alive and voting for every war. Joe says Washington always had a simple way to stop Israel from starting a war: take back the American air defense batteries that protect it, so Israel would have to spend its own missiles on defense instead of attack. That option was written up before the 12-day war and never used, and he says that is how America got dragged into this one. @joekent16jan19

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Seven months into the Iran war, Obama says Tehran is the one holding most of the cards He asked the question a lot of Americans have been wondering about: “7 months later, how’s that war going?” American soldiers have been killed, U.S. missile stocks are dangerously low, and Iran now holds veto power over the Strait of Hormuz. Iran is coming out of this stronger than before, and the war is NOWHERE near over. Writer: Bri t.co/YOD25WkzoI

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 A C-5 cargo jet flew into Diego Garcia, turned around and flew out within a day... and plane-spotters think the Iran strike package is being staged from the one base Iran can't reach Diego Garcia is where the B-2s flew from for last year's strikes and the Indian Ocean island nobody's drones can touch, which matters more since the Guard supposedly scared the B-1s out of England this month. A Super Galaxy is the Air Force's biggest hauler, the kind that moves bunker busters and the ground crews to load them, and a 24-hour turnaround means it dropped something and left.

🇺🇸🇲🇽 Police say a man whose DACA protection had just expired took a sledgehammer to Quantico’s Iwo Jima statue and decapitated one of the Marines Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano reportedly came into the US illegally back in 1999, which means he’s spent nearly his whole life in this country, and got DACA in 2014 before it lapsed in August. Officers caught him at night swinging at a limestone model of the Marines raising the flag on Iwo Jima, leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. Police haven’t given a motive... but after nearly 27 years here, taking a sledgehammer to the men who raised the flag on Iwo Jima is not what assimilation looks like. Source: CNN / Writer: Daniel

🇪🇸 LOOK AT THESE IDIOTS! If there is anything we should all take away from these dumbass riots, it’s that you shouldn’t loot things like computers and smartphones. They will track your ass down faster than you can let that bad boy finish booting up! Grocery stores make more sense if you’re bitching and complaining about prices and affordability. Just saying.

🚨🇫🇷 Footage reportedly shows rioters in Marseille firing mortar fireworks straight at police as France’s protests rage for a second straight weekend Dozens of them can be seen launching red and green rounds at officers while the crowd cheers, even after France flooded the streets with 70,000 police, armored vehicles and drones. Last weekend’s riots left nearly 1,000 officers hurt and more than 300 Marseille shops looted, so this counts as the calmer Saturday. Protesters want relief on living costs, but with France’s borrowing costs at their highest in over 20 years, Macron can’t afford to give it to them, and Mélenchon is already warning of a general strike starting Nov. 5.

🇺🇸 Gold fell back under $4,000 this week and the bond market still lost to it by 138 points since 2022... and the math behind the buying has half of Washington's income going to interest within a decade Washington took in $5.2 trillion last year, its best haul ever, and Peter runs the math: 5% on the $50 trillion the budget office projected for 2035 is $2.5 trillion a year in interest, about half of what came in. Peter Grandich, a 42-year Wall Street veteran who dumped gold in January and went fully back in on Friday, gives investors one rule for what's coming: "Don't try to win. Just try not to lose." Peter says Wall Street generalists started buying physical gold in the last 12 months because the old 60/40 portfolio is turning into 60/20/20 with gold taking part of the bond slot, and that with over 60% of market money now in passive funds, the next downturn won't be normal, because index funds have to sell into it. Add fertilizer shortages out of the Gulf and the next phase of this war shows up at the grocery store, which means the fight over who pays the interest starts long before 2035. @WeTheBrandon @PeterGrandich

🇺🇸 Rubio on Trump: “Well, he’s a historic figure; there’s no doubt about it. He’s not an orthodox political figure. He’s not a politician at all! He's visionary. He imagines what people say is impossible. He thinks things that people say, ‘We can't do it because that's never been done before,’ and then he achieves them.” He is certainly a visionary and has some pretty bold ideas for what things should look like. Take the Reflecting Pool, Trumpy Arch, and the Ballroom as prime examples. He’s struggling with the achievement part! Writer: Jamie t.co/8WKCuEbauR

🇺🇸Rubio insists new visa restrictions hitting Indian workers and students are global, not targeted. “It happens to impact Indians that want to come to the United States and work, and that our businesses are trying to bring in.” Last year Trump ordered a $100,000 H-1B visa fee that hit many skilled workers from India.
