NATIONAL SECURITY
FOR F's SAKE, BIDEN! – Biden targets ‘extremist' Trump allies as democratic threat in fraught political moment. U.S. President Joe Biden charged Republican allies of Donald Trump with undermining the country's democracy and urged voters on Thursday to reject extremism ahead of November's midterm elections.
America's elusive military ‘margin of safety.' Even the Reagan buildup wasn't enough. Now, take into account 25 years of defense cuts.
B-21 Raider: The Air Force's new stealth bomber Russia and China fear. The Raiders are on their way. The Northrop Grumman B-21 Raider is supposed to be the US Air Force's (USAF) next great long-range bomber. If Air Force expectations pan out, a hundred or more of the bombers will join the fleet in the next decades, providing the core of one-third of the nuclear triad and a lethal precision strike capability.
HOMELAND SECURITY
FRY HIM – Indiana man charged with murder in Dutch soldiers' shooting. A 22-year-old Indiana man was charged Thursday with murder in the fatal shooting of a Dutch soldier and the wounding of two others in downtown Indianapolis.
RUSSIA THREAT – UKRAINE WAR
Gorbachev was “shocked and bewildered” by war in Ukraine, interpreter says. Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who died earlier this week at the age of 91, was “shocked and bewildered” by Russia's war in Ukraine, his interpreter of 37 years, Pavel Palazhchenko, told Reuters Thursday.
Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 191. IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said his agency would maintain a constant presence at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after he returned from a mission there while leaving experts from his team at the site.
US war-gamed with Ukraine ahead of counteroffensive and encouraged more limited mission. In the buildup to the current Ukrainian counteroffensive, the US urged Kyiv to keep the operation limited in both its objectives and its geography to avoid getting overextended and bogged down on multiple fronts, multiple US and western officials and Ukrainian sources tell CNN.
Five UN inspectors remain at embattled nuclear plant. Part of the I.A.E.A. mission departed the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant after roughly four hours, but others remain to continue assessing its safety.
IRAN THREAT
IRAN IS PLAYING BIDEN – Iran's response to nuclear deal ‘not constructive,' US State Department says. An effort to save the Iran nuclear deal appeared to hang in the balance on Thursday after Washington said Tehran's latest reply to the European Union proposal was “not constructive.”
It's the worst possible time to revive the Iran nuclear deal. The Biden administration's push to reach a new nuclear agreement with Iran is completely out of step with not only our own interests in the Middle East but also regional developments that are bypassing Washington. The White House risks eroding our already tenuous position in the region and undermining our credibility with regional allies.
INTERNATIONAL SECURITY
India launches new aircraft carrier as concerns over China grow. INS Vikrant is the largest warship built in India and can carry a crew of 1,600 and operate a fleet of 30 fighter aircraft.
NOT HELPFUL NOW – Poland demands $1.3 trillion war reparations from Germany. Poland's top politician said Thursday that the government will seek equivalent of some $1.3 trillion in reparations from Germany for the Nazis' World War II invasion and occupation of his country.
PLAYING BOTH SIDES – Indian troops join Russian military exercise despite US concerns. Soldiers from the Indian army have landed in Russia for a week-long military exercise, India's defense ministry said on Thursday, days after the United States said it had concerns about any country exercising with Russia now.
US MILITARY AND SPACE
DESERVES TO BURN IN HELL – Former Army chaplain who sexually abused inmates gets 7 years in prison. Behind a closed chapel office door inside a federal women's prison in California, a chaplain forced inmates seeking his spiritual guidance to have sex with him, exploiting their faith and their powerlessness behind bars for his own gratification, prosecutors said.
OOORAH! – Marines hone future concepts with dune buggies, liaison officers, and many radios. The giant RIMPAC exercise helped the Corps test their newest type of agile unit within a multinational force.

Never owned a MAGA hat never wore one and never accepted money from China to sell out America for personal family gain unlike you and your family.Your attempt to take the spotlight off your family corruption did not work.Real Americans know full well what kind of people the bidens are.Biden crime family have done nothing to stop Chinese fentanyl from coming into the US from China via Mexico, begining to wonder if the Hunter Biden crime family somehow are in on that action. Seem’s like it’s a non topic with the Biden’s,the only ones not protesting fentanyl crimes are those making money off of the product.Time to find out all the deals Hunter made.
Hey Joe, don’t let your big foul shotgun mouth overload your bony little popgun butt!
I hope I outlive that old anti-American piece of dirt so I can go piss on his grave!
This from the man who raised Hunter, and supported his greedy, and lacivious Lifestyle.
See Dems WANT War
Biden can call anyone anything he likes but that does not prove he is right, just has aired his thoughts. Which in most cases is wrong anyway!!!!!!!
Actually as a supporter of DJT I DO reject extremism, especially DemonCrat extremism. I told my wife during the bitter aftermath of Jan 6th: ‘This is a false flag operation. The DemonCrats have recruited BLM and Antifa thugs, bussed them in and dressed them up like Trump protestors to turn them loose in the Capitol Building.’ Scripture tells us: The Lord has a special place for those who love a LIE.
I happen to be one of those Republicans and I don’t appreciate being called a Nazi. Everything you said about Republicans and Donald Trump, is You and your party. You are a liar and everything you say and do is a lie. Your party wanted to defund the police, open the borders and let the Cortel kill our kids with their drugs. Everything that is wrong in this country since you took office, is your fault. You are the President, and you care nothing for the American people. You are trying to turn our country of Freedom into Communist. You are a complete failure and putting your hate on everybody but you.
