๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ โ€” According to an upcoming biography on Health and Human Services Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr sourced from his personal diaries, RFK Jr once cut off a raccoon's penis while parked on the side of the highway to study it in the future.

This is far from the first claim of RFK Jr's bizaare animal activites; in the past, RFK's daughter once claimed that RFK cut off a dead whale's head and subsequently put it on top of the family car for a five-hour car ride. RFK's cousin cousin claimed that RFK personally blended chicks & mice to feed to his pet falcon.

This isn't the first Trump administration official to deal with animal-related issues either: ex-DHS secretary Kristi Noem admitted to shooting and killing her 14-month dog because she couldn't train her for pheasant hunting. She was fired long after the controversy for issues entirely unrelated to her killing her pet dog.

โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿš— - The Pentagon is in talk with American carmakers Ford and General Motors to manufacture parts and components of weapon systems using their facilities.

The US defense industry has been facing entrenched production bottleneck. Consumption within six weeks of fighting in Iran exceed multiple years of production for several key weapon systems.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, also a close friend of Vice President Vance, last year accused legacy defense companies of deliberately using specialized systems which are expensive and difficult to produce over cheaper commercial equivalents.

I've heard him tell this joke before. I think the Wall Street Journal should have a better sense of humor.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡งโ€“ Marine Le Pen has intensified her shadow diplomacy by holding unpublicized talks with Israelโ€™s Ambassador Joshua Zarka and Lebanonโ€™s Ambassador Rabih Chaer.

โžก๏ธThe meeting with Zarka, confirmed by the Israeli embassy following media leaks, underscores Le Penโ€™s effort to bypass official channels and challenge President Macronโ€™s regional policies. By engaging directly with these key envoys, the far-right leader is signaling a strategic shift to bolster her international credentials and provide a direct alternative to the ร‰lysรฉeโ€™s diplomatic line.

โšฝ๏ธโŒ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโ€“ FIFA has rejected Iran's request to move its 2026 World Cup matches from the US to Mexico for security reasons, insisting the schedule remains fixed. Despite Iranโ€™s concerns over political tensions, FIFA stated that a venue change is logistically impossible.โ€ฆ
โšฝ๏ธ๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทโ€“ FIFA President Gianni Infantino has reaffirmed that Iran will "for sure" compete in the 2026 World Cup, despite the ongoing conflict in West Asia and political friction with the United States. Speaking at a CNBC economic conference in Washington, Infantino emphasized that sports should remain separate from politics, stating that the Iranian team earned its place on the pitch and represents its people.


โžก๏ธIran, which dominated Asian qualifiers last year to secure its seventh World Cup appearance, is slated to play its Group G matches against Belgium, Egypt, and New Zealand on U.S. soil. Despite safety concerns previously raised by U.S. President Donald Trump, Infantino insisted the tournament will move forward as planned, highlighting the power of football to "build bridges" even during times of international crisis.

As our negotiators have said, you, Iran, can choose a prosperous future, a golden bridge, and we hope that you do for the people of Iran.

In the meantime, and for as long as it takes, we will maintain this blockade, successful blockade. But if Iran chooses poorly? Then they will have a blockade and bombs dropping on infrastructure, power, and energy.
