| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | ⚔️ White House to restore the Department of War. The White House confirmed plans to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War, reviving its original 1789 title. President Trump says the move signals a return to military strength "instead of DEI and woke ideology." Trump also stressed America's "unbelievable history of victory" under the name War Department. | 💰 Trump slashed $5B in foreign aid. President Trump revoked nearly $5 billion in foreign aid using a rarely used pocket rescission, bypassing Congress just before the fiscal year's end. The cuts target international organizations and peacekeeping funds. Trump's team frames this as a decisive "America First" move, redirecting resources away from globalist projects. | 👹 Minnesota shooter linked to satanic network. A new report revealed that the transgender-identifying shooter who killed Catholic schoolchildren was inspired by a secret Satanic and nihilist network. These groups prey on vulnerable youth, especially those who feel marginalized. The disturbing connection points to the shooter's radicalization on a deeper, spiritual level. | 🇾🇪 Israeli strike killed Houthi prime minister. An Israeli airstrike eliminated the Houthi prime minister and eight other ministers in Yemen during a leadership meeting. The Houthis, backed by Iran, have targeted Israel and disrupted global shipping since October 2023. The Israelis are now preparing for a Houthi military response. |

Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a DOJ paralegal who flipped off a National Guard member. The most clicked link in our last newsletter was the conservative backlash to Trump's mixed messages on Chinese students.
