Massive Russian Missile Strike Rocks Kiev – Hypersonic Oreshniks Used for the Third Time in the War 

‘Hazel’ targeted Kiev.

After over a dozen Ukrainian drones destroyed a college dorm killing 21 people (mostly students) in Russian-conquered Luhansk, President Vladimir Putin vowed retaliation.

Overnight, a massive combined drone-missile strike targeted Kiev, reportedly culminating in the third attack with hypersonic Oreshnik (Hazel) missiles.

Reuters reported:

“Explosions reverberated through the city just after 1 a.m. (2200 GMT Saturday), following a warning by Ukraine’s air force on its Telegram ‌channel that Russia might launch a hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile.

[…] Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that one person was believed to have been killed after a nine-story residential building in ​the capital’s central district of Shevchenko was hit. Emergency services were at the site extinguishing a blaze, the mayor said.

US Approves “Homing All The Way Killer” Missile Support Sale To Ukraine

The US State Department has officially cleared a $108.1 million hardware and sustainment package to keep Ukraine’s frontline air defenses online, after there’s not been much in the way of big dollar headlines concerning Washington’s longtime military support to Kiev of late.

The cash injection targets the maintenance and optimization of the US-designed HAWK system – which is short for the “Homing All the Way Killer” surface-to-air missile system.

Depending on the exact missile variant deployed, the platform handles tactical interceptions of enemy aircraft, drones, and cruise missiles at operational ranges spanning 25 to 30 miles.

The newly approved sale reportedly does not provide new systems, which would bring a much higher price tag, but is instead focused on keeping existing legacy systems operational.

The State Department’s Thursday news release detailed a transaction which featured long-term systems support, including erectable mast trailers, major technical modifications, spare parts, consumables, software support, and contractor engineering services – per a media redout.

The statement sought to provide ongoing justification from the Trump admin’s Ukraine policy:

“This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security objectives of the United States by improving the security of a partner country that is a force for political and economic stability in Europe,” it said.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency has formally notified Congress of the package, and is expected to sail through, after which the contract will be mostly fulfilled by Colorado-based defense contractor Sierra Nevada Corp.  

Ukraine originally integrated the HAWK into its arsenal at the tail end of 2022 via a $400 million security assistance package. And last year Washington authorized a foreign military sale dedicated to a HAWK Phase III upgrade and related sustainment.

Ukraine could see a new rush by Western partners to supply and update air defense systems across the war-ravaged country, given the air war is steadily escalating.

Russia earlier this month sent a record 1,500+ drones and missiles against Ukrainian cities in only a 48-hour period. This was immediately on the heels of a successful 3-day ‘Victory Day’ ceasefire having held, which was backed by President Trump.

Thomas Massie Vows to Read Redacted Names in Epstein Files on House Floor Before Leaving Congress, Says Todd Blanche and Kash Patel “Perjured Themselves”

Rep. Thomas Massie on Sunday said that he plans to read the names of Epstein’s clients on the House Floor before he leaves Congress in January 2027. 

While speaking to Kirsten Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, Massie vowed to use his speech or debate immunity and read the names. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution provides that, with the exception of Treason, Felony, or Breach of the Peace, Representatives “shall not be questioned in any other Place,” prosecuted, or sued over “any Speech or Debate in either House.”

Massie previously threatened to name the names of Epstein’s coconspirators in September 2025.

Massie told Welker on Sunday that he will read redacted names from the Epstein Files in the coming weeks and months, adding, “There’s still millions of files they haven’t released.”

“Todd Blanche is violating the law,” he said with reference to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Trump signed into law last November, forcing the DOJ to release all files related to the Epstein investigation.

Massie continued, “I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI Director, Kash Patel, at the top because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files.”

Your Brain Restricts Full Access to Reality. But Scientists Found a Way to Turn Off the Filter.

In 1956, British psychiatrist Humphry Osmond coined the word “psychedelic” from Greek roots meaning “mind-manifesting” or “soul-revealing.” The term proved fitting. Users report that seconds stretch into eternity, sounds turn into color, and you very self begins dissolving. And now, after decades in scientific exile, those same once-ostracized compounds are undergoing a dramatic scientific renaissance. Researchers are investigating them not only for depression, trauma, and addiction, but also as a potential window into one of neuroscience’s deepest mysteries: how the brain constructs reality itself. And a small, egg-shaped structure buried deep in the center of the brain, the thalamus, may play an important role in that process.

Scientists once viewed the thalamus largely as a relay station: a kind of biological switchboard routing sensory information to the cortex, the brain’s outer layer responsible for higher thought, perception, and conscious awareness. But newer theories suggest something far stranger. Increasingly, neuroscientists suspect reality may partly reflect the brain’s constantly updated “best guess” about the world—built from memory, expectation, sensory input, and context, as Michelle J. Redinbaugh, PhD, a neuroscientist at Stanford University, puts it.

Turkish Police Storm Opposition Party HQ, Fire Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets at Supporters

Erdogan is moving against opponents.

Today (24), Turkish Police stormed the offices of the country’s main opposition CHP party.

The shock troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at party supporters and officials hiding inside for the last three days.

Associated Press reported:

“It was a violent end to a standoff between members of the Republican Peoples’ Party, or CHP, and a leadership team appointed by an appeals court.

Footage taken by local media Sunday in the courtyard and inside the building showed clouds of tear gas as riot police stormed through the premises, before journalists were removed by the police. Supporters initially attempted to resist the police by spraying them with fire extinguishers, but were quickly stopped. Doors, furniture and the ground floor windows were destroyed.”

House Bombshell: JPMorgan, BofA, Morgan Stanley Accused of Helping CCP-Linked Firms Cash In

An investigation carried out by the House of Representatives Select Committee on China has revealed that American banks may have been involved in helping Chinese interests tied to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army raise billions of dollars. It is belaboring the obvious that having China raise money on this scale isn’t in the best interests of the United States.

The Committee broke the news first on X.

The post is a lengthy one, but here is a key point:

Just months after @DeptofWar designated Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (@catl_official), the world’s largest battery maker, as a “Chinese military company,” JPMorgan and Bank of America moved forward with underwriting its Hong Kong IPO, helping the company raise billions in new capital. According to our investigation, the banks proceeded even after CATL was linked to China’s Military-Civil Fusion strategy and despite evidence connecting the company to entities tied to the PLA, China’s defense-industrial base, and forced labor in Xinjiang. 

The investigation uncovered CATL partnerships and business relationships with blacklisted Chinese defense-linked entities, including @Huawei, NORINCO, CETC, @CSSC_global>, COMAC, @ChinaMobile_X, and @CN_Nuclear_Corp. The report also details CATL’s ownership stake in Wuhu Shipyard, a key builder of Chinese naval vessels and military equipment, as well as research partnerships tied to the PLA’s National University of Defense Technology and China’s nuclear weapons complex.

And:

In a separate transaction, Morgan Stanley sponsored the IPO of Zijin Gold even after its parent company and Xinjiang subsidiaries were added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. Internal documents showed the firm identified significant sanctions and national security risks and moved forward regardless.

In simple English, American financial institutions are implicated in a financial scheme that may well have raised money for the Chinese military – and for Chinese operations that use forced labor in their operations.

SICKENING: Houston Attorney Charged with Felony Bestiality After Wife Catches Him RAPING the Family Dog on Hidden Surveillance Camera

A 56-year-old Houston estate planning attorney has been hit with felony bestiality charges after his own wife caught him in the act of sexually assaulting the family dog on home surveillance footage.

The man identified as Steven Swain has been charged with felony bestiality after authorities say his wife turned over surveillance footage allegedly showing him engaging in sexual acts with the family dog, named Shipley.

According to local reporting citing court documents, the wife installed cameras inside the home after becoming suspicious, later identifying both her husband and the dog in the footage before removing the animal from the home for its safety.

Swain reportedly turned himself in to face the charges. He posted a $7,500 bond and is due back in court this coming Tuesday. The dog is now safe with the wife, and the case remains active.

According to X user Michelle GCR:

According to court records filed in the 183rd District Court with Judge Lance Long, investigators were contacted by the Houston SPCA after a woman reported discovering disturbing surveillance footage recorded inside the family home near Providence Park in Houston.

The probable cause affidavit alleges the video showed Swain lying in bed exposing himself while repeatedly calling the small black dog, “Shipley,” over to him. The details that followed are genuinely sickening.

Court records state Swain’s wife told investigators she began reviewing home security footage after learning her husband had allegedly been bringing sex workers into the home.

She states she had the cameras installed recently because the home was under renovation and they had contractors working in the home.

She discovered the video while reviewing the footage. Authorities say she positively identified both Swain and the dog in the video. She then left him and took the dog with her and does not know his current location. She states she believes this may have happened more than once.

New Hampshire State Rep. Says Man Who Entered Women’s Locker Room is Reportedly a ‘Registered Sex Offender’

The Gateway Pundit reported that after Judy Walcott reported that someone she believed to be a man was inside the women’s locker room at a Planet Fitness in New Hampshire, her longtime membership was canceled.

Walcott told Fox News Digital, “I was shaking. Like I was actually trembling because it freaked me out that bad.”

After initially reporting the issue, she was told that the staff could not do anything about it due to company policy.

Walcott raised the issue again with another staff member a few days later and was called “transphobic.”

Ultimately, Walcott said, the gym’s manager called her to say her membership had been canceled for a “policy violation.”

Now, NH State Representative Lisa Mazur (Hillsborough District 44) has shared disturbing details about the man she says is at the center of the controversy, noting that, if this is indeed the man that Planet Fitness is protecting,  he was previously convicted of felonious sexual assault and the victim was a minor.

Israel’s organ theft scandal exposes a culture of desecration

On 25 January, Israeli President Isaac Herzog stood before a crowd celebrating what Tel Aviv claimed was a world record in kidney donations. The event, promoted after a lobbying push to Guinness World Records, was meant to project generosity, discipline, and moral purpose.

But Guinness listed only the gathering itself as a record, not the kidney donations that Tel Aviv had turned into a public relations show.

The bodies behind the numbers

In Gaza, where Israel has been returning Palestinian bodies in bags, sometimes decomposed, mutilated, or showing signs of surgical interference, the celebration landed differently. For Palestinian health officials, the question was not how Israel had produced so many donors, but whether all of those bodies had consented.

Dimming Israel’s “propaganda facade” was none other than Dr Munir al-Bursh, director general of the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza. He said Israel’s “record numbers” raised serious questions about the sources of the kidneys and other organs now being celebrated. He pointed to the stark contradiction of an occupation state that has held Palestinian bodies for years in the “cemeteries of numbers” and refrigerators while presenting itself to the world as a humanitarian model in organ donation.

Bursh cited documented cases of bodies returned to families missing organs, especially kidneys, without medical reports, autopsy files, or any legal path to accountability. He demanded an independent international investigation into whether Israel’s claimed achievement had been built on the theft of Palestinian organs.

Just over a week later, Israel returned the scattered remains of some 54 Palestinians to Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. Forensic teams quickly got to work in an attempt to identify the bodies and give closure to their families, but noted that many of the corpses had clear signs of torture and the surgical organ removal.

This was not the first such warning since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Ten days into Israel’s genocide in Gaza, allegations of organ theft had already surfaced. By late November 2023, Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor called for an investigation into the theft of Palestinian organs, after “medical professionals found evidence of organ theft, including missing cochleas and corneas as well as other vital organs like livers, kidneys, and hearts.”

Israel and its defenders moved to blunt the spread of these allegations by invoking “blood libel” and antisemitism. Because the evidence came from Palestinians, calls for international scrutiny have largely fallen on deaf ears.

The FCC Is Asking the Public to Weigh in on Whether ‘The View’ Is ‘Bona Fide News’ After Disney Files Petition

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr is asking the public to weigh in on whether ABC’s “The View” truly qualifies as a news program, and therefore not subject to broadcast laws requiring it to provide access to differing political views.

Of course, anyone who watches the program at all knows its political views range from left to hard left.

Carr posted on social media on Friday, “Disney has filed a petition with the FCC asking the agency to declare that The View is exempt from the statutory equal opportunities requirements that would otherwise apply to broadcast shows.”

ABC is part of the Disney Corporation.

“Disney argues that The View qualifies as ‘bona fide news’ under the law, comparing itself to Meet The Press or Face The Nation,” he added. “Therefore, Disney argues, it can have one partisan candidate for office on The View while denying equal opportunities to all others.”

Carr noted that the FCC is now seeking public comment on the matter online. “Is The View a ‘bona fide news interview program’?” he asked.
