ANALYSIS – Donald Trump has been wrongly persecuted since he was elected president in 2016. From the four-year Hillary Clinton-manufactured ‘Russia collusion’ hoax to corrupt investigations to ‘deep state resistance’ within his administration to a partisan impeachment – no president has been so unfairly hounded in U.S. history. And now, we have the multiple indictments against him, including the ones for poor bookkeeping in the Stormy Daniels nonsense and the “I can’t remember exactly when it happened, but Trump raped me 30 years ago” defamation case of E. Jean Carrol. (RELATED: E. Jean Carroll Seeks More Money From Trump Following…

WEDNESDAY PDB – Will they get involved? Pentagon keeps troops in Niger despite putsch, maintains contact with some military leaders. The Pentagon has suspended security cooperation with Niger due to the political unrest in the West African nation, but U.S. troops are not being evacuated, and some are still even continuing to engage with members of the country’s military. HOWEVER – The US can’t use its $110 million drone base in Niger. The U.S. military is unable to fly drones from a base in Niger because the country’s airspace has been closed after a coup overthrew the government in late July.…
ANALYSIS – I must admit that, initially, I was disappointed in the Russian Ka-52 attack helicopters’ performance in Ukraine. I expected more from their fearsome-looking ‘Alligators.’ That’s their Russian name. NATO calls them ‘Hokum Bs.’ And Russian forces lost a lot of them during the early stages of their invasion. But perceptions may be changing. While Russia has likely lost “around forty” Ka-52s since it invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the type is still imposing a “heavy cost,” according to the U.K.’s Defense Intelligence agency.

ANALYSIS – First it was the monkeypox virus, and now America may soon be facing a public health emergency due to the drastic surge in sexually transmitted syphilis cases, primarily spread through male-to-male sex (MSM). If untreated, syphilis can spread to the brain and nervous system or to the eye, causing serious issues such as hearing loss, stroke and blindness. And there’s another big concern: Having syphilis can increase the risk for getting HIV or giving it to others. But you can rest assured that Team Biden and the complicit media will do everything possible to divert attention from the…
TUESDAY PDB – A second drone strike in two days has attacked a skyscraper in the heart of Moscow’s financial district, reminding Russians that Ukrainian-made drones are capable of striking Russia’s capital. Russia intercepts new wave of drones over Moscow, office tower hit. One of the intercepted aircraft damaged the same office tower that was hit in an attack over the weekend. The latest drone strikes against the IQ-Quarter skyscraper in Moskva-City business district underscore Moscow’s vulnerability as Russia’s war in Ukraine drags into its 18th month. The IQ-Quarter, located 4.5 miles (7.2km) west of the Kremlin, contains the offices…
ANALYSIS – From Russia with love – during the Cold War, everyone knew that traveling to the totalitarian Soviet Union entailed risks, even if you were an accredited diplomat. There was the ubiquitous surveillance and tracking and the occasional harassment or detention. There was also the ever-present risk of a ‘honey trap’ using attractive women to get secrets from willing Americans. But those were the old days.

And the new ‘Moscow Rules.’ Today, a clandestine counterintelligence unit of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB)…
ANALYSIS – As reported last week, a military coup has rocked Niger, a key U.S. ally in Africa. The mutinous soldiers have detained the recently elected president. Why does this matter? Well, for starters, the U.S. has troops and drones based there in the fight against Islamist jihadists, and the country is rich in uranium. Then there is Russia which is vying for influence and control. (RELATED: Military Coup Rocks Key US Ally In Volatile Region) Meanwhile, neighboring countries led by Nigeria may take military action to restore the president to office. West African nations have imposed sanctions and threatened…
MONDAY PDB – Going woke has a price – Confidence in US military lowest in over two decades. Americans are now less likely to express “a great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the U.S. military, with a noticeable decline that has persisted for the past five years. The latest numbers are from a June 1-22 Gallup poll that also captured record lows in public confidence in several public institutions. BUT – ‘The Few, the Proud’ aren’t so few: Marines recruiting surges while other services struggle. Not long ago, Marine Col. Jennifer Nash, a combat engineer with war deployments…
ANALYSIS – Joe Biden may be getting closer to being impeached by the Republican-led House. Or at least it seems that way. But should he be impeached? On Tuesday Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) reportedly told a select congressional group meeting in his office that he’s “moving closer” to opening an ‘impeachment inquiry,’ though not quite yet. This is the second time in two days that McCarthy has stated he is seriously considering the move against Biden. On Monday night he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that the GOP House investigations into Biden and his family are “rising to the level of impeachment inquiry.” And as The Washington…
ANALYSIS – According to various news reports, Joe Biden is either conducting secret, backchannel talks with the Kremlin behind the back of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky, or senior ex-U.S. officials have gone rogue and are breaking the law. NBC News first reported on these unofficial talks between the former American officials and high-ranking Kremlin members, including meetings with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, in early June. The goal, it was said, was to quietly and discreetly lay the groundwork to end the war in Ukraine. https://twitter.com/officejjsmart/status/1684571611545104386 The problem is Ukraine didn’t know about the secret talks. Many consider that a…
