If the White House Faith Office sent a memo to the president

If the White House Faith Office sent a memo to the president

To: POTUS From: White House Faith Office Re: Religion messaging Sir,  As you can imagine, we have been following with great interest your truths and public comments in the faith space. Of course you are totally correct and, as Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said, the Fake News Media is behaving like those self-righteous Pharisees we read about in the Bible. But we think it might be helpful for us to, with your permission, point out a few things. First, there’s that AI image you posted of yourself as the nation’s Healer-in-Chief. That’s absolutely what you are and what you wanted to communicate to the American public, as you said. Franklin Graham was spot on when he posted that there was no halo, no crosses and no angels to represent you as Jesus.  But here’s the thing, sir. Jesus Himself is known as The Great Physician. That’s from one of our favorite Scriptures, where Jesus says in the Gospel of Mark, “They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: …

The Memo: Iran war roils Trump’s relations with China in advance of high-stakes trip

The complicated dynamics have a straightforward core.  China has numerous ties with Iran, economically and strategically. At the same time, Beijing has zero interest… Source link

There are huge questions hanging over the Trump administration’s strategic objectives in Iran, especially now that a tentative ceasefire has hit immediate turbulence.

DOJ says it erroneously relied on ICE memo to justify immigration courthouse arrests

DOJ says it erroneously relied on ICE memo to justify immigration courthouse arrests

The Trump administration admitted in a court filing that it had erroneously relied on an ICE memo to justify arrests at immigration courthouses as part of an ongoing federal case brought by groups seeking to block the tactic. Federal prosecutors said Tuesday that they had used the memo, titled “2025 ICE Guidance,” to defend the Trump administration’s deployment of ICE agents at courthouses, which led to numerous arrests of immigrants attending hearings. The memo indicated that “ICE officers or agents may conduct civil immigration enforcement actions in or near courthouses when they have credible information” that a targeted person would be “present at a specific location.” But, the Justice Department said in the court filing, the memo “does not and has never applied to civil immigration enforcement actions in or near” immigration courts. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“Damning evidence”: Trump’s DOJ shares memo alleging Trump took docs related to business interests

“Damning evidence”: Trump’s DOJ shares memo alleging Trump took docs related to business interests

President Donald Trump allegedly took classified documents relating to his private business interests in 2021, according to a memo provided to the House Judiciary Committee by the Department of Justice. The documents show evidence gathered by special counsel Jack Smith, who led multiple investigations into Trump’s handling of classified documents. An FBI raid later on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence  found a trove of classified materials, including a large collection in a bathroom. “Trump possessed classified documents pertinent to his business interests — establishing a motive for retaining them,” according to a 2023 “progress memo” from Smith’s team, reviewed by MS NOW. “We must have those documents.” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the House Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, said the mistaken release of files was the result of a “frenzied search” by the DOJ to come up with evidence against Smith prior to him testifying before Congress in January regarding his 2023 indictment of Trump. “You have, quite amazingly, missed the fact that some of the documents you provided include damning evidence about your boss’s conduct,” Raskin wrote in …

FBI Memo Warns Iran Could Attack California Using Drones

FBI Memo Warns Iran Could Attack California Using Drones

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The Trump administration’s war on Iran may be coming home — but not where you might expect. According to one FBI document, an Iranian attack on US soil wouldn’t occur near the financial hub of Manhattan or the military industrial factories of Texas, but, confusingly, on the golden state of California. In a memo circulated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, the LA Times reported, the federal government warned of a vague drone attack that could occur in California. “We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran,” the memo reads. According to one source who spoke to the LA Times, that intelligence originally came from the US Coast Guard, though any other details are few …
