Trump Urges Pirro To 'Revisit' Decision To Drop Charges Against Accused Reflecting Pool Vandal After New Photos Emerge
Authored by Debra Heine via American Greatness,
President Trump on Friday urged U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro “revisit” her decision to drop charges against an accused Reflecting Pool vandal after new photos shared on social media, showed clear signs of vandalism.
The Department of Justice dismissed the case on August 1 after the Department of the Interior had concluded there were many flaws with the renovation project, including lining that appeared to begin peeling days after installation.
The president on Monday railed against the decision, telling reporters in the Oval Office that Pirro had “made a mistake,” and insisting “there was vandalism.”
Trump conceded that he was not “100 percent thrilled with the contractor,” but made clear that he was disappointed in Pirro.
“Frankly, I think she choked,”
“Because the judge was really vicious. Instead of going after the people that did it, the judge went after her and went after her department, and I guess she choked. I don’t know what the hell happened.”
“I was disappointed with Jeanine Pirro!” Trump later fumed.
“Really disappointed with Jeanne Pirro! She folded like an umbrella! And people get away with things, and it’s a disgrace!”
The president, met with Pirro later Monday, according to Politico, and told reporters Tuesday night, he hadn’t yet made a decision on whether to fire her.
In an interview with NBC News Thursday, Trump reiterated that Pirro had made a “terrible mistake” and insisted “there was tremendous vandalism.”
Freelance photographer journalist Andrew Leyden shared the previously unseen photos of the damage on social media, Friday.
“Cuts in the expansion joints on the side of the Reflecting Pool are visible today after NPS removed a fence that has blocked the view since June,” wrote on X. “The contractor reported this to Park Police as vandalism but we have not been able to photograph until now due to the fences.”
Leyden, a photojournalist for The New York Times , has extensively documented the Reflecting Pool’s condition and has concluded that the damage stemmed from construction flaws rather than vandalism.
In his Truth Social post Friday, Trump reiterated his claim that the material was cut “300 feet or more” and people were seen on video “on their knees with their hands in the water” cutting the liner exactly where the photos show the damage. The president also launched an attack on the defense team, labeling notorious lead attorney Norm Eisen a “TRUMP DERANGED SLEAZEBAG” and “complete LUNATIC.”
Eisen, who served as special counsel during Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, has filed or worked on over two dozen lawsuits against Trump.
Trump further alleged that the “gentleman involved,” former Olympian David Hearn, is a “big player” in ActBlue, the notoriously sketchy Democrat fundraising platform co-founded by Eisen. ActBlue is currently under active investigation by multiple congressional Republican committees over alleged fraudulent donations, illicit foreign contributions, money laundering, and obstruction of congressional probes.
Additionally, in October 2024, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) petitioned the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to take immediate action to “close fundraising loopholes that jeopardize American election integrity” following his investigation into ActBlue.
“Now that people are able to see it up close, they are reporting pure VANDALISM at The Reflecting Pool," posted on Truth Social. “Thank you Andrew Leyden for your observation!”
The material was cut right where the video tape showed, for 300 feet or more. People were on their knees with their hands in the water at the exact location of the “slashes.” Additionally, there were witnesses to the VANDALISM, and the flexible areas of the material were cut with a knife. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro should re-visit her hastily made decision, especially since it turned out that the “gentleman” involved is a big player in ActBlue, a disgraceful fundraising SCAM, and is represented by a TRUMP DERANGED SLEAZEBAG, Political Hack Lawyer, Norm Eisen, and CREW, a group that uses “charity” for political purposes which is, to the best of my knowledge, ILLEGAL! I have been beating Eisen, a complete LUNATIC, in Court for 10 years, or more. He just keeps coming, but I always WIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

Hillary Clinton Warns Dems: GOP's Anti-Communist Messaging "Very Effective" As Marxist Hijack Party
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Kara Swisher on the "Pivot" podcast that Republicans are deploying what she called a "very effective" anti-communist attack against the Democratic Party's rising class of far-left candidates , who are increasingly defeating establishment Democrats in primary races.
Clinton told Swisher that Abdul El-Sayed's narrow victory in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary is a wake-up call for the party. She said El-Sayed must unite the party by winning over supporters of moderate Rep. Haley Stevens and reassuring independent voters ahead of his general election contest against Republican Mike Rogers.
"The real fight will be, how do we make sure that people who voted for Haley feel comfortable voting for Abdul El-Sayed, and how do we get independents to feel comfortable," Clinton said.
"It's not just about Michigan, but the Republican messaging is 'communist, socialist.' It's going to be a very effective attack ," she warned, adding, "People on the left have to be prepared to answer that and be effective in answering that."
Clinton said President Trump's repeated use of "communist" and "socialist" labels was likely informed by polling and shouldn't be dismissed by the Democratic left . She said El-Sayed campaigned on Medicare for All, abolishing ICE, ending US aid to Israel, and raising taxes on millionaires and billionaires, positions that could alienate moderate voters.
The Democratic Socialists of America's "Dismantle America From Within " platform is an odd political pitch when most Americans simply want lower prices and lower taxes.
Clinton's warning comes one month after Mark Penn , the former chief White House pollster and strategic advisor to President Bill Clinton for six years, used a Wall Street Journal op-ed titled " The Socialist Threat Is Real "
Penn's warning was very blunt: "America will be in serious trouble if Democrats fail to defend their party."
He added, "Lawmakers, law-enforcement agencies and journalists should investigate the Democratic Socialist of America to see if foreign governments and interests are funding it."
Another Clinton insider, Jamie Metzl, who served in the Clinton White House, sounded the alarm about "radical extremists " known as DSA:
I am a lifelong Democrat . I served on President Clinton's National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright. I am also a lifelong human rights and civil rights advocate.
But every Democrat and every American should recognize that the DSA represents a fundamental threat to our party and our country.
This is not a story about a few idealists seeking to reduce healthcare costs. It is about a small group of radical extremists pursuing a strategy to take over the Democratic Party and ultimately our country in order to impose an agenda that would devastate our economy and fundamentally dismantle our system of government .
Don't take my word for it. Listen to the full conversation between Fox News' Martha MacCallum and New York City DSA co-chair Gustavo Gordillo and judge for yourself.
Clinton is part of the Democratic establishment elite class that is fighting to preserve its grip on power as progressives and reformist socialists gain ground in local elections, with some openly promoting the dismantling of capitalism and running with anti-American rhetoric.
DSA Marxist leaders are hellbent on "destroying America from within ."
DSA spokesperson Hasan Piker tells followers to "kill capitalist " ...
Hasan: "FLOOD illegals into the United States so they can 'f*ck your sisters and daughters' to 'destroy the white race'."
To understand the composition of competing forces within the American left, Karlyn Borysenko, who describes herself as an anti-communist analyst, produced the five-tiered "rainbow cake " view that ranges from establishment Democrats who favor incremental reform within capitalism to revolutionary socialists seeking to abolish capitalism and destroy the nation from within.
Tiers 4 and 5, the DSA, the Mamdanis, the Hasan Pikers, the El-Sayeds, and the list goes on and on, all under the DSA tent, are what the establishment fears.
Their ties to revolutionary Marxism and Islamists are what we said last week were "the gift that keeps on giving " for Republicans and their messaging.
So why is the DSA so radical and why do they want to overthrow capitalism and the nation?
Well...
Remember in Decemeber 2025 we asked the question:
Seven months later:
A multi-agency task force is already working to identify and disrupt far-left networks and potential foreign subversion linked to actors in Cuba, China, Europe, and the Middle East, including networks associated with Neville Roy Singham. The effort appears focused on the intersection of revolutionary Marxist movements, foreign influence operations, and domestic political destabilization.
The US has already witnessed political assassinations, attempted assassinations, riots, firebombings, and other militant operations by the far left, and the situation will only worsen because the Democratic Party allowed the far left to grow as it sought to bring more people into its tent. Now, the far left is eating the establishment alive.
We must remind readers that Colombia offers a warning of how far-left militancy can escalate into intimidation and violence. Trump-backed President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella has taken power, but ahead of Friday's inauguration, Marxist terrorist groups detonated vehicle bombs. When revolutionary movements cannot secure power through popular support, they often turn to coercion, intimidation, and political violence. That's exactly what's happening in the US.
The rise of the far left and Marxist revolutionaries inside the DSA that are hellbent on destroying capitalism and the nation has only been a gift to the Republicans...
...who will be ramping up anti-communist messaging as the Red Scare is back.

Ukraine Faces Growing Air Defense Crisis As Patriot Supplies Dwindle
Ukraine Faces Growing Air Defense Crisis As Patriot Supplies Dwindle
Via RFE/RL ,
Ukraine failed to intercept any of the 24 ballistic missiles and four Zircon cruise missiles Russia fired in the August 5 attack, underscoring the strain on its missile defenses.
U.S. Patriot availability has become a significant constraint after extensive interceptor use during the Iran conflict.
Kyiv is increasingly seeking European inventories, expanded production, and eventually licensed or joint Patriot manufacturing to secure its air defenses ahead of winter.
Ukraine's failure to intercept a single Russian missile during a large-scale overnight attack this week has raised fresh concerns over Kyiv's dwindling supply of air-defense interceptors as Moscow escalates its ballistic missile strikes on the nearly defenseless capital and other regions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that deliveries of anti-ballistic interceptor missiles from partner countries have fallen sharply, leaving Ukraine vulnerable to deadly attacks that are being launched by Russia with increasing frequency.
Following a meeting with Ukraine's military leadership on protecting critical infrastructure on August 2, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had received only a third as many air-defense interceptors this year compared to the same period in 2025.
"Our partners have the missiles. What is needed are the necessary political decisions on deliveries and on accelerating production, including localization in Ukraine,"
Latvian Foreign Minister Baiba Braze, who was in Kyiv during the most recent attack on August 5, condemned Russia's latest strikes, which lit up the late-night skies with balls of flames from massive explosions.
"It was a vile attack on Ukrainians. I was hiding in the shelter along with a number of them and admiring their resilience. Russia is a terrorist state and needs to be contained," she wrote on X.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha also urged allies not to slow military assistance.
Speaking on August 5, he said:
"Russian strikes take no summer vacation; support for Ukraine and pressure on the aggressor must not pause, either. Every interceptor counts. They are life-saving tools."
US Stockpile Questions Patriot interceptor missiles remain Ukraine's most effective defense against Russian ballistic missiles, but questions are growing over how many additional interceptors Washington can realistically provide.
Last week, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) estimated that the United States has used more than half of its Patriot PAC-3 MSE and THAAD interceptor inventories during its military operations against Iran this year.
The report
Mark Cancian, a senior adviser with CSIS and co-author of the report, told RFE/RL that the shortages leave Washington with little flexibility to supply Ukraine.
"Ukraine will not be able to expect many interceptors -- or any interceptors -- from the United States for quite a while," Cancian said.
"The US has used extensively its own inventories.... We're down to about 800 or 900 [Patriot interceptors]. The war planners don't want to go below that, so it would be very difficult to provide any of those or any new production to Ukraine.”
Cancian said Ukraine may instead have to seek Soviet-designed S-300 missiles from countries that still operate the system and intensify efforts to destroy Russian missile launchers before they can fire.
His assessment contrasts with public assurances from the Trump administration.
CNN, citing unnamed officials, reported on August 4 that Patriot inventories had fallen to "dangerously low" levels. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth rejected that report, calling it "fake news."
Just days earlier, the Pentagon announced agreements with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman to expand production of Patriot PAC-3 and THAAD interceptors.
US President Donald Trump insisted early on August 6 that the United States has "massive" amounts of munitions.
Trump also had pledged to allow Ukraine to manufacture Patriot missile interceptors, only to appear to backtrack
"Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history," he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
"The 'leakers' of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought!" he added.
However, US administration officials who spoke to RFE/RL on condition of anonymity said the CSIS estimates broadly reflect the current state of American interceptor inventories.
Cancian said rebuilding those stockpiles will take years despite efforts to accelerate production.
"The United States is expanding production," he said.
"Before the war in Ukraine, it was producing about 300 Patriot interceptors a year. Now we're up to about 600. We're trying to get to 2,000 a year, but that will take until at least 2030."
Even then, he said, Ukraine will have to compete with other US partners for new production.
"The Gulf states have used a lot of their Patriots [in the current Gulf conflict]. They want their inventories replenished, so there'll be a lot of competition for the new production. It may be four or five years before supply meets demand."
Risks For Ukraine The prospect of fewer US interceptors raises immediate questions for Ukraine as Russia steps up missile attacks ahead of another winter.
Adding to the urgency, several media reports, including from Reuters, quoted Ukrainian military intelligence sources as saying a North Korean missile unit had begun deploying to western Russia and ?could be equipped with up to 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for attacks on Ukraine.
Kervin Aucoin, a US Army veteran and former military intelligence analyst, said reduced US inventories will inevitably affect Kyiv.
"It's not going to be none, but it will be far less than what Ukraine was expecting,"
Still, he argued that Ukraine has repeatedly adapted to changing battlefield conditions.
"Ukraine is doing a great job…. If they can't rely on the US, unfortunately, they will rely on their own resilience, and they will continue to succeed on the battlefield," he said.
Over time, he said, Ukraine may increasingly turn toward cheaper technologies, including drone-based air defense and laser systems, rather than relying primarily on costly Patriot interceptors.
Republican Senator Rick Scott of Florida, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee, told RFE/RL he believes the White House remains committed to supporting Ukraine.
"When I talk to people in the White House, they are absolutely committed to supporting Ukraine. I'm confident they will provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs when it needs them."
Cancian also warned that depleted US inventories could influence how America's adversaries assess Washington's military readiness.
"China is what the United States is most worried about," he told RFE/RL.
"Using so many interceptors has created a window of vulnerability, and China might try to take advantage of that."
He added that Iran could reach similar conclusions: "Iran is certainly looking at this and thinking that the United States might be unwilling to recommence hostilities because of these growing shortages."
Ukraine Looks To Europe With US supplies under pressure, Ukraine is increasingly looking to European allies.
US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker recently said Washington is exploring joint production of Patriot interceptors with Ukraine and European partners.
He stressed, though, that the immediate priority is to provide Ukraine with the air defense capabilities it needs to survive another winter, either from allies with excess interceptors or through increased production at US factories.
Kyiv has already begun that effort.
In early July, then-Defense Minister Mykhaylo Fedorov sent requests to nearly 40 countries seeking the temporary transfer of Patriot interceptors from existing inventories, proposing to replace them later with missiles from future production.
Ukraine has not disclosed which countries received the requests.
Within the European Union, a key provider of military assistance to Ukraine, seven countries operate Patriot systems: Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Greece, Spain, and Romania.
RFE/RL asked those governments on August 5 whether they would consider supplying additional interceptors following Ukraine's failure to intercept any Russian missiles during the overnight attack.
Germany declined to comment on operational matters, as did Romania, which called it a "matter of national security."
Sweden pointed to its contribution of an additional $108 million to the PURL initiative, bringing its total support for the program to $535 million.
The Netherlands has previously said it has already donated everything it could spare from its own Patriot inventories, and is providing Ukraine with around 3 billion euros per year in military aid until at least 2029.
"We have already delivered Patriots missiles and are currently unable to deliver more missiles from our existing stockpiles. At the same time, we are open to exploring any option that helps Ukraine protect its skies and people. Air defense has been a strong focus point of our military support and will continue to be so in the future,” the Netherlands Defense Ministry spokesman Kees Bakhuis told RFE/RL in a written statement on August 6.
Poland's Defense Ministry said all support requests from Ukraine are reviewed by the Polish Armed Forces and organizational units of the ministry as part of the country's comprehensive support -- from the donation of military equipment, to the training of Ukrainian soldiers, to extensive logistical support and medical support -- to Ukraine's Armed Forces.
RFE/RL asked Ukraine's ambassador to NATO, Alyona Hetmanchuk, about the state of negotiations with partner countries, but her response was not available as of publication.

Joint Chiefs Chair Pushing For Iran War Off-Ramp, Warning Escalation Will Backfire
In another sign of mounting pressure on President Trump to disengage the US armed forces from his failing, five-month war on Iran, America's top general has been carefully working with other Trump advisers to communicate that continued depletion of the Pentagon's arsenal is unlikely to alter Iran's stance, while escalation is likely to backfire , CNN reported on Friday evening, citing "sources familiar with the matter."
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine has been using side conversations with cabinet officials -- including CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President JD Vance -- to ensure they have a shared, clear picture of the military situation before they meet with Trump, CNN's sources say. Summing it up, one said, “Caine is looking for an off-ramp .”
In a July congressional hearing, Caine said "airpower has its limits." Nicknamed "Razin Caine," the general said to be reiterating that caution in his behind-the-scenes discussions with likeminded officials who think a major escalation of US attacks on Iran could cause disastrous fallout for the region and US interests.“There really isn’t much else to hit since it is whack-a-mole with drone and missile sites . Bombing power plants would be publicly a lot more significant," one source said. Others said hitting Iranian infrastructure would likely rally the country's citizens around the government -- even more than the war has done already
Last weekend, the US military seemed poised to carry out Trump's threat to unleash “the biggest attack since World War II," but he called it off, at least in part because of profound concerns raised by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Iran had promised to wreak havoc up and down the Gulf. “The only ones in favor of the operation were elements of CENTCOM,” said one source, referring to the Pentagon's Central Command, which is responsible for action in the Middle East. The source also pointed out that Israel also wants escalation of the war.
“I think it is just his way of protecting the military,” a source said about Caine's cautionary campaign. In addition to squandering the lives of at least 18 US service members and wounding more than 600 more, the five-month Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran has severely depleted the US arsenal . Referring to Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) and Precision Strike Missiles (PrSM), two sources this week told Reuters that "Washington has used virtually all of these weapons ," further substantiating earlier media reports and think tank studies that sounded alarms over dwindling munitions. It's not just offensive weapons that are running out: Low air defense missile supplies are also of grave concern, particularly to Gulf states that would face what would likely be a devastating Iranian backlash to a major new US assault on Iran.
Earlier this year, one source criticized Caine for failing to pointedly counsel Trump on the pitfalls of taking on such a well-equipped and geologically-protected adversary. “He’s definitely pulling punches,” the source said then, adding that Caine was much more candid with fellow military officers than with his commander-in-chief. Now, Caine is apparently intensifying his approach . Though warning of the dwindling arsenal, Caine is said to have assured Trump that, if he does order a major escalation, the Pentagon could manage to cause plenty of destruction across Iran. However, it probably wouldn't put a crack in Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz, much less substantially affect the nuclear situation that was fraudulently advanced as the casus belli -- for decades :

Oxford Union Debate Debacle Exposes The Real Limit Of Free Speech In Britain
Oxford Union Debate Debacle Exposes The Real Limit Of Free Speech In Britain
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News ,
In the heart of the Oxford Union, a supposed bastion of open debate, a single brown paper envelope triggered pure panic.
Commentator Laurence Fox stood to argue that the West is right to be suspicious of Islam. He held up the envelope and indicated it contained a cartoon of the prophet Muhammad. The chamber erupted in frantic attempts to stop him opening it. Rules were suddenly invoked. Relevance was questioned. Respect was demanded.
The Muslim president of the Union interjected that her very presence should have been enough to persuade Fox that Muslims believe in free speech.
"My wife asked me not to show this for fear of repercussions for my family," Fox said. "But I told her that if I did not, I would have submitted to Islam." He continued that the West should resist Islam "in the strongest terms on free-speech grounds alone."
Fox opened the envelope and revealed a cartoon of Rees-Mogg. Laughter and applause followed. The fear that had gripped the room evaporated the instant it became clear the image did not depict Muhammad.
In that moment the argument was settled more effectively than any speech could manage.
The debate took place under the motion "This House believes the West is right to be suspicious of Islam." Speaking for the motion were actor and free-speech campaigner Laurence Fox, Tommy Robinson, and writer Jonathan Sacerdoti. Against them stood Oxford Union president Arwa Elrayess, a 20-year-old Muslim of Palestinian heritage from Gaza, Rees-Mogg, and others. Outside, left-wing protesters tried to block entry. Inside, the atmosphere was already charged.
Fox made free speech the centrepiece of his case. He cited polling showing that 78 percent of British Muslims believe no publication should print pictures of Muhammad, rising higher among some groups. He noted that Britain had long abandoned its own blasphemy laws. Then he produced the envelope.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, speaking against the motion, reached for procedure, recalling that as a former Union librarian he believed props were against the rules. Others in the audience scrambled for any technicality that might prevent the image from appearing. The chair eventually ruled that props were permitted.
VIDEO
Jonathan Sacerdoti, who spoke alongside Fox that night, later described the episode in The Spectator . The opposition and their guests, he wrote, "squirmed in discomfort, terrified at the very suggestion a drawing of Mohamed might soon be unveiled."
When the real image appeared, the relief was palpable. "It seems we had found the limit of free speech they had all denied existed. That limit was Islam."
Elrayess had positioned herself as a defender of open debate by inviting the motion and the speakers in the first place. She told the chamber: "Free speech and debate is not something I do despite being a Muslim, it is something I do because of it."
Yet when the practical test arrived - the possibility of a Muhammad cartoon - the institutional machinery of the Union moved to stop it. The title of president was offered as proof of principle even as the principle itself was being restricted in real time.
VIDEO
Fox's point lands without further explanation: the taboo is real, the fear is real, and the clever arguments about compatibility evaporate the moment the cartoon is threatened.
This is not an abstract philosophical dispute. Britain has already seen teachers driven into hiding for showing Muhammad cartoons in classrooms. Publications and individuals face credible threats for the same act. The Oxford Union, with its historic claim to be a last redoubt of free speech, demonstrated in real time that the same constraint operates even among those who insist no such constraint exists.
Fox closed his demonstration with a clear declaration. "So it is in that spirit that I will not submit. I show you this as an Englishman who believes in free speech. I will not submit. I will not bow down." The image he actually showed was of a British politician. The image that produced terror was the one everyone understood could not be shown.
The motion was defeated in the chamber that night. The larger argument was not.
Free speech that collapses the moment it risks offending one particular religious sensitivity is not free speech at all. It is a managed privilege granted on condition of silence.
The Oxford Union's panicked reaction to a piece of paper proved the case more cleanly than any speech could. The West has every reason to notice when its most elite institutions flinch.

US Army's $400 Million Laser Deal Accelerates Race To Harden Bases From Kamikaze Swarms
Building on our investment theme that the US military is racing to harden its bases with counter-drone systems capable of defeating Group 1-3 drones, and potentially Group 4 threats, Bloomberg reported late in Friday's US cash session that the Army plans to purchase at least $400 million of AeroVironment's counter-drone laser systems, citing a person familiar with the deal.
The source told the outlet that the deal would provide the Army with dozens of LOCUST systems, which use artificial intelligence to track and identify small and medium-sized drones before human operators engage them with a high-energy laser.
AeroVironment's LOCUST system was originally developed by BlueHalo, which the defense firm acquired for about $4.1 billion in 2025. The latest LOCUST X3 uses a scalable 20-to-35-plus-kilowatt laser, AI-enabled detection and tracking software, and precision beam control to defeat Group 1-3 drones.
LOCUST can be deployed at fixed installations, including military bases, or mounted on tactical vehicles such as the Infantry Squad Vehicle and Joint Light Tactical Vehicle.
The economics of laser weapons are almost certainly a major focus among military planners. At roughly $5 per shot, compared with a $100,000 rocket or a million-dollar interceptor missile, lasers offer one of the most cost-effective ways to defeat Group 1-3 drones.

US to Lift Blockade once Oman Deal Announced
Importantly, Reuters reports late in the day Friday that Washington plans to lift the naval blockade on Iranian ports once the Oman deal is finalized and announced, which Bessent earlier said could be as soon as 'today or tomorrow'. If the US were to back down militarily in the Gulf, it would cede effective control of the vital waterway to the Iranians. Per Reuters :
Progress is being made ?between Iran and Oman ?on the Strait of Hormuz and "we expect a deal soon," ?a U.S. official told ?Reuters on Friday.
Once a deal ?is announced to restore commercial ?shipping without impediments, the ?United States will lift its blockade of Iranian ports, the official said.
"There ?is progress between Oman ?and Iran on the Strait, and ?we ?expect a deal soon," the official said. "Once the deal is announced to restore commercial ?shipping ?without ?impediments, the United States will lift the blockade ?of Iranian ports."

Bessent: Today or Tomorrow the Strait will be Open; Iran Signals 'Compensation'
Iran has announced that under the 'finalized' Oman-Iran scheme and 'deal' for management of the Hormuz Strait that "enemy countries" (read: US and Israel) may only transit the waterway after lifting sanctions and paying compensation for the war .
While this was not issued by the Foreign Ministry or top leadership per se, it does appear to represent Tehran's overall position, after on Thursday it first declared that US and Israeli-linked ships will not be allowed Hormuz transit under the Oman plan :
Tehran Mayor says Passing through the Strait of Hormuz is subject to the lifting of sanctions and the payment of compensation:
"The countries that have attacked Iran will not have the right to use this strait until compensation is paid . Governments that freeze Iranian assets or continue to impose sanctions and threaten the nation will be deprived of this strategic boon."
While Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has appeared to back the Omani plan to reopen the strait, the US State Department has also newly warned on Friday that more 'decisive action' will be taken to cut off sources of Iran's funding. Bessent has newly stated that...
I think shortly, maybe even today, tomorrow, we are going to see an agreement, a 30- to 60-day ceasefire, and the Strait will be open .
This is somewhat surprising, but as we described below, it seems a final Washington exit is indeed in motion, even if it leaves Iran with greater leverage in the region. Like Trump's latest comments Thursday night, Bessent seems in 'mission accomplished' mode with this newly published interview ...
This really does sound like 'it's finally over' talk ...
White House Largely Quiet on Iran-Oman Deal to Manage the Strait
President Trump's latest Iran comments came Thursday night, after a prior day wherein Iran and Oman unveiled their 'finalized' Hormuz management scheme, which most notably includes a ban on all US and Israeli vessels in the energy transit waterway.
As we reviewed earlier , the White House has appeared to genuinely be searching for an exit strategy, but this stipulation alone may be too hard a pill for Trump to swallow, if accurate - given that it obviously leaves Iran in de facto control of the strait. Many pundits have pointed out it even leaves Iran with more leverage and power in the region than before the launch of Operation Epic Fury.
But this is why Trump's comments to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday evening are surprising , given that instead of reacting angrily and outright condemning the Iran-Oman plan, his reaction was somewhat muted and meager . Doves who see this war as disastrous and hope for quick exit will welcome the development.
via Reuters Trump: Going to End Pretty Soon
"I think it's going to end pretty soon . I don’t think they can go much longer ," the president said, while leaving his meaning ambiguous. Asserting once again that the US is involved in negotiations with Tehran (something the Iranians have been vehemently denying all along), Trump added that "I think we’re doing fine."
The only thing Trump truly got angry about Thursday was related to the domestic side of the conflict, after US major media published several reports saying the Pentagon is perilously low on missiles and interceptors, which have been drained after nearly six months of war. He blasted 'treasonous' 'fake reporting' and even threatened to jail 'leakers' over the reports (the inherent contradiction says a lot here).
But again, Trump's penchant for raging against 'dishonest' and 'evil' Iranian leaders has been curiously absent over the last several days as the US bombs have fallen silent - after he called off planned 'harder' strikes over the weekend (or the last big TACO moment, among many prior).
This relative quiet at the White House comes even after Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf openly mocked the United States and Trump's theatrics and constant changes of course on X. He wrote Thursday :
"Massive attack coming… wait, never mind, they want to negotiate." That’s theater diplomacy on loop. Using bullying + broken promises + fake news as leverage is a failed strategy. Acknowledge the facts and fulfill your commitments. We don’t need more theater.
All of this change in Washington tone and posture suggests this could finally be the moment for a true offramp , as the US faces a 'go big or get out' realization, and as the prospect of slogging through months more of a developing quagmire becomes too politically and economically costly. This is potentially the declare 'victory' and get out moment. As former Congressman Ron Paul has put it: Just Walk Away!
This is further evidenced in Trump's sudden realism, expressed late Thursday in the same Oval Office presser. When asked about the status of the Strait of Hormuz, he admitted that "it's easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along , or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are."
He further acknowledged :
"People don’t want" to risk ships worth billions of dollars and expose them to the possibility of accidentally hitting a mine in the Strait of Hormuz, he conceded. Trump also claimed Thursday that Hormuz is "sort of open right now," although fewer than 10 ships per day transited from Sunday through Tuesday, according to Kpler data.
Of course, the US and Iran have been involved in several of these 'pauses' and cooling off periods before, which were later revealed to be the 'calm before the storm'. Tehran has since wised up and pointed out that the Pentagon used these interim periods of no fighting to just rearm, reposition, and ramp up military supply flights to the region.
Joe Kent: 'Good First Step' Toward an Exit
Joe Kent, a top national security official who resigned in protest of the Iran war upon the very start of the operation, is welcoming these signs that Trump is finally seeking to extricate the US from the conflict at all costs :
Trump is messaging that he won the war— this is a good first step in extricating us from what would otherwise be a catastrophic mistake . The reality is, the best “deal” we can make with Iran at this point that works in our favor is to just leave—it’s the only case in which POTUS then holds the cards.
He needs to “close the deal” now, before the Iranians force him back into a shooting war . We simply can’t assume that Iran will wait idly for us to make the next move. Alarmingly, it seems we are failing to account for just how aggressively killing the Ayatollah & bombing the girls’ school has radicalized Iranian leadership & its people—it’s very likely that Iran will feel compelled to drag us back into the war in order to force the U.S. to retreat, bloodied, both for the sake of its national honor & for deterrence.
Trump can end this by pulling our troops & ships out of the region now—deprive Iran of targets to hit and the leverage they need to escalate . Trump says we’ve won, therefore we can bring them home.
So either Trump is indeed preparing to go bigger, or this is - belatedly - the final 'cut and run' moment that probably the majority of the American public has been hoping for.
Another sign, via his Truth Social latest, that Trump could finally be willing to say 'mission accomplished' and get out, while letting the regional and oil transit 'chips fall':
Iran Hasn't Blinked
The deadly alternative to simply declaring an exit is an eventual introduction of ground troops and full-on regime change. Thankfully, Trump officials have continued to by and large condemn this as a legitimate scenario - given it would surely once again put US forces in a new 'forever war' that would last years or even decades.

But in the meantime, the Iranians do smell weakness and blood in the water. Just before US markets closed Thursday, Tehran announced its forces attacked and struck 'hostile targets' at Qeshm island, near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran is remaining defiant, and even sees itself in the driver's seat with its ability to wage asymmetric warfare against a much larger US foe which is confused on what to do next. This was also on display with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian having asserted this week in an interview , "Our enemies expected the country to collapse due to the pressures they have exerted ." He added that these pressures have "reached their maximum".

Teacher Exposes Chaos: Violence, Drugs, & Prostitution At 75% Migrant School In Germany
Teacher Exposes Chaos: Violence, Drugs, & Prostitution At 75% Migrant School In Germany
Via Remix News,
A German teacher has described a secondary school in the Rhineland where violence, drug dealing, and severe behavioral problems have become part of everyday life, including one case in which a 15-year-old girl allegedly prostituted herself in the school toilets for drugs and money.
Speaking anonymously to Bild , special education teacher “Carola S.” said around 75 percent of students at her school have a migrant background, with many having arrived from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan or Ukraine.
“It’s all blowing up in our faces,”
“Every day is a challenge. Fights, shouting — this happens in the classroom and on the schoolyard,” she told the German tabloid.
“We are happy if we can teach for a few minutes at a time. Sometimes the police have to come several times a week.”
She said drugs are also dealt on school grounds and recalled an extreme case involving a 15-year-old pupil.
“A particularly egregious case involved a 15-year-old student who prostituted herself in the school toilets for drugs and money. She became pregnant and left the school.”
Carola said many newly arrived pupils initially speak little German and do not receive grades for their first two years. “After that, the students are graded regularly, but for many, their performance is still unsatisfactory. Some don’t return at all,” she said. “This year, almost 40 percent failed to obtain their secondary school leaving certificate.”
She also described clashes over cultural attitudes, including a Syrian father who objected to his son being taught by a woman.
“It is very difficult for us to reach these parents,” she said.
Carola said she was punched in the face just three weeks ago while attempting to intervene in a fight between pupils.
“I got caught in a fight between students and ended up with a split lip because a student punched me in the face during the scuffle,” she said.
She reported the incident to police, but said the case was subsequently closed.
“This is not an isolated incident. Some colleagues are openly insulted, threatened, or ambushed after school, and this isn’t even reported,” she added. “Many talk about not being able to do the job until retirement. We have a high rate of sick leave.”
The German Teachers’ Association has long accused politicians of failing to respond quickly enough. Its chairman, Stefan Düll, said back in 2024 that preventive measures, social work, school psychology and other support systems had failed to expand in line with demand.
“For too long, politicians have primarily acted reactively,”
“Due to immigration in 2015, the war in Ukraine and other immigration, new people are constantly coming into the system, but the system is slow to keep up because it is moving too fast,” he said at the time.
“The higher the percentage of immigrants, the more difficult it is to motivate the class.”
Recent incidents have added to concerns over conditions in German schools. In May, a 20-year-old Afghan was remanded in custody after allegedly sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl inside a school restroom in Koblenz while a 19-year-old suspected accomplice allegedly held the child down.
That same month, authorities announced a regular police presence at the Karolina-Burger high school in Ludwigshafen following 118 criminal complaints, around 100 fire department call-outs and a succession of knife attacks, assaults and threats.
Teachers there had reported death threats including “I’ll shoot you all,” pupils attacking one another, and extensive vandalism. In one of the most serious cases, prosecutors said a 16-year-old girl attacked a teacher with a knife “with the intention of killing her.”
Concerns have also been raised over religious intimidation. In April, Berlin youth worker Wolfgang Büscher warned that some schools were producing what he described as “mini-Islamists,” with pupils allegedly pressuring Muslim and non-Muslim classmates to conform to strict religious practices.
Back in the Rhineland, Carola said teachers increasingly feel abandoned by authorities.
“No one from the school board ever shows up. They’ve left us to fend for ourselves,”
“And then the politicians want to close the secondary schools. Where are the children supposed to go then?”

EU Cohesion Breaks: Madrid Socialists Impose Border Protections Against Italians After Third World Invasion
Update: Spain is to impose new border controls for flights and ships from Italy as the two countries' row over the influx of migrants into Ceuta intensifies.
Sky News reports that the Spanish government has confirmed that passport, nationality and visa checks would be conducted for Italian passengers and visitors from other countries arriving from Italy from midnight ?on Saturday ?until 7 September.
The Spanish government called Italy's decision to suspend Schengen travel agreements (following the Spanish enclave's un-fettered invasion by over 70,000 military-aged male Moroccans), "unjust, contrary ?to EU interests and discriminatory" and with a full straight face the socialist leadership added that the decision has been taken "amid the persistent irregular migratory pressure" from Italy .
* * *
The unhinged socialists in Madrid are losing their minds over the Italian government's move to suspend the Schengen travel agreement because it wanted to protect its national sovereignty after the Spanish African enclave of Ceuta was invaded by 70,000 mostly military-aged men.
The migrant invasion, which Elon Musk described as comparable to scenes from "World War Z," was a complete optics disaster for the socialists in Madrid, and really, for socialists and the far left across the West, who have been hellbent on importing the Third World to install new voting blocs and build political power. Now, that move, via uncontrolled mass migration, has been delegitimized, and countries like Italy have had enough.
Madrid's socialists say the new border checks are "unfair" and are "affecting the mobility of thousands of passengers." But really, who cares what socialists in Madrid have to say?
The West is shifting away from the nation-killing policies of uncontrolled mass migration and entering a new era focused on restoring national security after a decade marked by repeated migrant invasion after invasion with disastours consequences.
Interestingly, the socialists responded to the Italian government by stating:
Therefore, we urge the Italian government to rectify the situation, end the checks, and treat Spaniards like all other European citizens. If it fails to do so by Sunday, August 9, Spain will be forced to take proportionate measures to protect the interests and dignity of its citizens.
Immediately after last week's invasion, 22 European leaders condemned Madrid's socialist regime over its open-border policies and warned that the mass crossing may have been an act of "hybrid warfare."
Related :
"We cannot allow uncontrolled mass crossings, the instrumentalization of migration or other hybrid threats to create the perception that illegal entry into the European Union is possible ," EU leaders, including Denmark's Mette Frederiksen, Italy's Giorgia Meloni and Germany's Friedrich Merz, wrote in a letter last week published on X by Denmark's Ministry of State.
Who organized or facilitated the invasion from the Moroccan side remains a big question. Unverified speculation has pointed to possible US or Israeli involvement, but no evidence has emerged to substantiate those claims.
More speculation:
What is observable is Italy's quick response under its right-leaning, Trump-aligned government and the resulting political blowback spreading across Europe. Years of uncontrolled mass migration have boosted support for right-wing parties campaigning on border security, national sovereignty, and the restoration of law and order.

Kids In Tiny British Village Beg The Government Not To Force Illegal Migrants On Their Home
Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News ,
The children of a quiet Oxfordshire village have been forced to put pen to paper and plead with the Prime Minister himself. Their message is simple and heartbreaking: leave our home alone.
Piddington is a tiny English settlement of roughly 350 people - around 250 adults and just 46 children. The Home Office and Labour government under Andy Burnham intend to place 1,250 single adult male asylum seekers on a former Ministry of Defence site that borders the village, runs along the back of homes, and sits directly against the parish playing field and children's park.
If the plan proceeds, the number of young men dumped on their doorstep will dwarf the entire local population.
Residents previously held a symbolic independence vote after the government announced the scheme with zero meaningful consultation. Weeks later the silence from Downing Street continues, so the children themselves have now spoken.
Seven-year-old Rex Perkin wrote: "Dear Andy, We like our village because I and my family walk down to my sister's grave to see her. I worry I won't be able to do that anymore. My family has lived here for over 100 years. I love the playing field in Piddington because I go there every week. Thanks Andy."
Eleven-year-old Tilly West pleaded: "Please, please, please! This is for the 300-400 people in the village as well as dogs who won't be able to go sniffing in the bushes as much."
Nine-year-old Orla West was direct: "I do not like this idea because we love our park. We can walk our dogs. We love Piddington."
Other children echoed the same theme - freedom to play, walk the dog, cycle, and simply be children in the only home they have ever known. Their letters were delivered as adults in the village continue to face a wall of non-response from the government.
Parish Council chair Tim McNally has documented the official silence. Fourteen days after an open letter to Burnham, there was still no engagement. "Families are anxious. Questions are growing. And trust is being tested," he said. "This is bigger than one village. It's about whether communities like ours still matter when decisions are made."
The village has opened a fundraising effort and is weighing further democratic steps, including a referendum on self-determination.
Residents describe a place with deep roots and generations of the same families. One mother whose children wrote letters told reporters the scale would leave them "so outnumbered that it would change our lives completely."
Another parent noted that even the ability of an elderly grandmother to walk home safely at night is now in question.
The site itself is a long-abandoned munitions area requiring major infrastructure work, yet the government presses ahead with plans for an open facility where men aged 18-65 can sign in and out at will for a minimum of ten years.
McNally has framed the fight as one that now represents more than Piddington. On TalkTV he made clear he feels he is speaking for the country as well as his neighbours.
Conservative MP Joy Morrissey addressed the fears of locals, noting "These mothers don't want their daughters to [be] raped or molested."
The official response remains the familiar boilerplate. Number 10 says community concerns are "central" to its reforms, points to a drop in hotel numbers, and claims it will "consider" the children's letters.
That is little comfort to a village that has already watched its local voice sidelined, its planning powers stripped from the district council, and its future decided in Whitehall.
Piddington's children are not asking for special treatment. They are asking to keep the ordinary freedoms that previous generations took for granted - walking their pets, playing on the field, growing up without being outnumbered by a sudden influx of foreign fighting-age men whose presence was never put to a democratic vote.
In a country that still claims to value local communities and the safety of its own children, those letters should be impossible to ignore. The government has so far chosen silence.
