President Donald Trump has submitted to Congress for review an agreement with Saudi Arabia aimed at bolstering the kingdom’s civilian nuclear program, but continues to insist that it won’t move forward if Saudi Arabia doesn’t normalise relations with Israel, according to a Trump administration official.

The classified document was submitted to Capitol Hill on Monday as required by the Atomic Energy Act, according to the administration official, a congressional aide, and two others familiar with the matter. All four spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to comment publicly on the classified matter.

The agreement was signedlast month in Washington by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright and his Saudi counterpart. But the next day, Trump announced he was requiring the Saudis to normalise relations with Israel through the Abraham Accords as part of the pact — raising doubts that the agreement would come to fruition.

Neither the administration official nor the others familiar with the matter would comment on whether Trump’s call for the Saudis to join the accords is detailed in the classified document submitted for the congressional review.

EXCERPT:

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is demanding that the state bar dismiss a “meritless” complaint filed by left-wing activists against a Trump administration attorney for criticizing rogue judges.

In his Monday letter to Florida Bar Executive Director Joshua Doyle, Uthmeier slammed the Aug. 18 filing by the Democracy Defenders Fund (DDF) and Lawyers Defending American Democracy against Department of Homeland Security General Counsel James Percival as a “shameless publicity stunt.” The complaint was signed by 128 former federal and state judges, “only three” of whom “previously served on the bench in Florida,” according to the Florida AG.

As The Federalist previously reported, the left-wing groups and judges took aim at a July 23 X thread by Percival. Titled, “Worst of the Worst, District Judge Edition,” the DHS general counsel described rogue judges’ overreaching actions in several immigration-related cases involving the administration and how they conflicted with its policy agenda.

For this and his media appearances criticizing those activist judges, the left-wing groups and former judges demanded that the Florida Bar investigate Percival. They laughably claimed that his commentary constituted “serious professional misconduct” and accused him of “threaten[ing] the rule of law and increas[ing] the risk of violence against judges.”

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced Tuesday that the agency, alongside the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, has uncovered more than $13 billion in suspected fraud since beginning its work in March.

Federal contractors are responsible for the suspected fraud. They were tracked down by GSA and the task force through governmentwide contracting data, public reporting and inspector general enforcement information, according to a press release.

“Let this serve as a warning to any bad actors thinking of stealing from the federal government: we will catch you, we will work with law enforcement to ensure your arrest, and we will do everything in our power to help recover every dollar you stole,” GSA Administrator Edward C. Forst said in a statement.

A few weeks into the creation, the task force and the GSA identified nearly $6.3 billion in government contracts that are going to potentially fraudulent businesses, the Daily Caller exclusively reported.

Like, and this is just an example off the top of my head, Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner threatening to blow up a portion of the White House. He’s a democrat, so before we accuse him of making a terrorist threat, we have to wait for “independent” “fact” “checkers” to determine what he meant by that.

You may remember Larry Krasner from such other viral clips as “ICE agents are Nazis,” “I’m gonna arrest ICE agents,” and “but looters are misunderstood.” I’m paraphrasing, but only barely.

Also, you may remember Philadelphia as being so overrun with drugs that Mexico used it in an anti-drug commercial. In Mexico. Where the drugs are coming from.

Drugs are fine. Crime is ok. But Trump ballroom is offensive.

I’m going to have a paperweight sitting on my desk. You know what that paperweight is going to be? It’s going to be a piece of the ballroom after we all blow it up.” … In an official ceremony, we’re going to blow it up.

LONDON — An inquest opened Wednesday into the sudden death earlier this month of Jason Arday, a Cambridge University professor who faced a storm of plagiarism accusations.

Arday, 41, who became Cambridge’s youngest Black professor in 2023, was found dead at an address in south London on Aug. 13, days after he resigned his post as professor of sociology of education following intense media scrutiny of his credentials and many of the other claims he had made about his accomplishments outside of academia.

The inquest opened with a short hearing at London Inner South Coroner’s Court. Any deaths in the U.K. that are deemed to exhibit uncertainties of one form or another are investigated by a coroner.

“The various reports have given me reason to suspect that Professor Arday died an unnatural death 12 days ago,” said senior coroner Dr. Julian Morris. “It therefore follows that I must open an investigation.”

Police said at the time of his death that it was being treated as “unexpected” but not suspicious.

Questions about Arday’s qualifications were raised publicly last month by Nathan Cofnas, a one-time Cambridge philosophy researcher who left the university after his critique of diversity, equity and inclusion programs sparked widespread protests. Cofnas previously argued that in a meritocracy, Black people “would disappear from almost all high-profile positions outside of sports and entertainment.” Cofnas was last week suspended from his post at Ghent University in Belgium.

George Santanyana, the Spanish philosopher, famously said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

When it comes to foreign currency intervention, it is surprising that of all people, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, a former hedge fund operator, seems to have forgotten the many earlier attempts at foreign exchange intervention that failed for want of being supported by fundamental economic policy change. This has induced Mr. Bessent to embark on a quixotic attempt to prop up the swooning Japanese yen with foreign exchange intervention without requiring that the Bank of Japan hikes interest rates or that the Japanese government addresses Japan’s public finance sustainability problem.

If there is one episode of failed foreign exchange intervention with which Mr. Bessent should be more than familiar, it is that in support of the pound sterling in 1992. In that year, the Bank of England failed to prevent a humiliating sterling devaluation despite massive foreign exchange intervention and then large interest rate hikes. After all, Mr. Bessent was a principal advisor to George Soros in his successful attempt to break the Bank of England on what came to be known as Black Wednesday.

Rescue workers and volunteers rushed to clear rubble as they searched for survivors in Colombia on Tuesday after the country was struck by its strongest earthquake on record.

At least 181 people died and 1,595 were injured in the earthquake, according to the country’s president, Abelardo de la Espriella.

De la Espriella said 195 people were reported missing. Civilian-run databases suggest the number of missing could be as high as 3,900. Many families posted information about loved ones online, hoping for information about their fate.

Over 1,100 homes across the country were destroyed, and over 8,300 damaged, de la Espriella said. Rescue workers and volunteers were seen clearing rubble by hand in some places.

The 7.4 magnitude quake struck cities across Colombia’s western region shortly after 7:30 a.m. local time Monday, sending panicked residents onto the streets.

Hungary’s parliament has confirmed Andras Baka, a former Supreme Court chief and critic of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, as the country’s next president.

The National Assembly voted in a secret ballot on Tuesday to confirm him as president with 140 votes in favour, six opposing and no abstentions.

He had been nominated on Saturday by the Tisza party, which holds a constitutional majority of more than two-thirds of parliament. During the nomination, Tisza lawmakers said Baka’s experience would represent “a significant asset” as the party lays “the foundations for Hungary’s new constitutional order”.

Opposition party Fidesz – which dominated Hungary’s politics until a landslide electoral defeat in April – boycotted the vote. They accuse Tisza of using authoritarian tactics to reshape the country’s political system, a charge the party denies.

EXCERPT:

Jeffrey Tucker, a prominent critic of COVID-19 lockdown policies from the earliest days, stated categorically that the purpose of the stringent measures was not to protect people’s health; it was to delay the onset of natural immunity so that the experimental “vaccine” which was still in development would be hailed as the heroic solution to the virus.

The shocking assertion was made during a recent The Brownstone Show podcast with fellow truth-teller Dr. Jessica Rose as they spoke about the revelations supplied by the publication of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s diary. 

“I was told by top FDA, NIH officials that a major reason for social distancing, lockdowns, masking, plexiglass, stay at home orders, and everything else was to delay the onset of natural immunity, to delay rising seroprevalence levels, to delay endemicity, until after the shots were online,” said Tucker. He didn’t name the federal officials who disclosed the true purpose of the tyrannical government orders. 

“So it wasn’t just that all these … social engineering tactics were designed to keep us well. No. It was exactly the opposite,” Tucker argued. 

“It was to keep us from gaining a natural capacity to resist the virus so that they could wait until the injection came along so the injection could be deployed and experimented upon us and thereby get all the credit for having solved the issue,” he explained.

Michigan Democrats’ newly anointed Senate candidate blamed gun rights and “right-wing media” for a 2023 mass shooting at a Nashville Christian school at the hands of a mentally disturbed woman pretending to be a man.

In a now-deleted podcast in April 2023, Abdul El-Sayed claimed that the school shooting wasn’t a “trans problem” but “a gun problem.”

“After this shooting in Tennessee, right-wing media wanted to talk about the identity of the shooter who happened to identify as trans,” El-Sayed said during his opening monologue on the podcast, according to a story first reported by the Post Millennial.

The far-left Senate candidate was referring to Audrey Hale, the 28-year-old trans-identifying psychopath who stormed into the Covenant School, a Christian elementary, on March 27, 2023 and fatally shot six people, including three third-graders. She was shot and killed by a responding police officer before she could take more innocent lives.

Hale left behind a “manifesto” — multiple journals, in fact— filled with extreme leftist ideology, deranged entries laboring on her apparent white guilt and an urge to “kill all the white kids,” as well as plans laying out her deadly errand.

(LifeSiteNews) – The U.S. Department of Justice has formally charged Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) “fascism expert” Heidi Beirich with making fraudulent payments to extremist groups with donor money as part of a broader probe into the far-left organization’s activities.

As previously covered by LifeSiteNews, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is charging SPLC with allegations that it used millions of dollars in donations to fund groups like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and Aryan Nation in order to foment racist hatred and unrest as a means of keeping its purported mission of “dismantling” hate alive, largely through the payment of “field sources,” who were ostensibly informants but are accused of actually promoting the very behavior SPLC purports to monitor, all without letting donors know how their money was being used.

In June, the New York Post reported on a DOJ filing detailing how an individual identified only as “Employee-2” and described as someone “who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project” maintained a “romantic relationship” with an informant identified as F-9 who was embedded in the neo-Nazi group National Alliance. It determined Employee-2 was none other than Beirich, who had authored a 2015 article on the National Alliance that matched the indictment’s allegation that Employee-2 wrote such an article based on material stolen from the group’s headquarters the year before. A different informant was allegedly paid off to take the blame for the theft.

This week, CNN reported that Beirich has been arrested in California and indicted on allegations she “oversaw payments of donors’ money” to the hate groups. “I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts in completely fictitious companies’ names and make payments to individuals for reasons that were not accurate as described,” said U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. “This is exactly what we said would happen in a case like this, which is that our investigators and the U.S. attorneys and the agents working the case will keep on working it even after the initial indictment.”

The United States on Thursday said it could maintain a naval blockade of Iran indefinitely and would ratchet up economic pressure on Tehran as ceasefire talks have floundered, global ‌oil supply is dropping and regional tensions are rising.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters that the U.S. military could keep a naval presence in the region to enforce its blockade of Iran, which has inflicted severe economic damage on the country.

“Indefinitely, the United States Navy can maintain a blockade like that because we’ll rotate ships in and out, as we have, and we’ll continue to,” Hegseth ​told reporters on a trip to Panama.

It’s safe to say that most Americans love dogs. The relationship between those lovable mutts and their people is like nothing else; there is no other domesticated animal that associates with us not by our choice, but theirs, the way dogs do. They are faithful companions, loyal helpers and guardians, and they love us without reservation. Whenever anyone proclaims “you can’t buy love,” it’s a safe bet they’ve never had a puppy.

In some cultures, though, our traditional love for Canis lupus familiaris isn’t shared. Which brings us to the current Democrat candidate for a Michigan Senate seat, Abdul El-Sayed, and his tenure as Detroit’s health director. During this stint, El-Sayed was responsible for, among other things, Detroit’s animal control department, and his handling of that department prompted an employee to describe it as a “dog slaughterhouse.”

El-Sayed’s campaign, of course, is touting a significant improvement in the shelter’s live-release rate.

Detroit Animal Care and Control’s (DACC) live-release rate was roughly 20% to 26% when El-Sayed inherited the operation in late 2015 but climbed to about 61% to 62% by late 2016 — an improvement his campaign points to in arguing that the raw number of animals euthanized during his tenure obscures a turnaround from the dire conditions and euthanasia rates he inherited. The Daily Mail reported that records covering the period surrounding El-Sayed’s tenure showed 4,680 dogs and cats were euthanized, with 1,056 dogs and 29 cats getting euthanized in the first full calendar year DACC was under El-Sayed’s Health Department.

EXCERPT:

A Brazilian bishop has attacked consecration to St. Michael the Archangel while suggesting that the devil is “rather imaginary.”

“Are there theological justifications for Consecration to Saint Michael? Consecration is to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,” wrote Bishop Vicente Ferreira on X last week. “Isn’t the devil we fight against rather imaginary?” he added.

“The greater exorcism should be: of homophobia, of femicide, of racism, of crimes against indigenous peoples. Of that legion of evils,” he concluded, in a statement originally written in Portuguese.

The tweet appears to be aimed at another Brazilian bishop. On the same day as Ferreira’s statement, the archbishop of Montes Claros, José Carlos Campos, consecrated his archdiocese to St Michael.

Ferreira was slammed for his denigration of devotion to St. Michael, who is invoked for spiritual defense against the devil by Catholics because he was given power by God to cast the devil and his followers from Heaven.

“What is your religion? You should convert to Catholicism,” wrote one X user. “At your age, worrying about these woke idiocies isn’t going to get you to heaven. You should be concerned with saving your soul.”

That’s not a funny anecdote. That’s the story.

As the WNBA tries to fathom what the “W” in their own name stands for, its own past statements on social media are revealing the entity’s biases against their own athletes.

The league was dropped into the middle of the debate over whether men should take away athletic opportunities for women when Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham said it was unfair for males to compete against females. A counter-attack erupted within the league as coaches and players fired back by spewing the liberal orthodoxy that mediocre transgender athletes need a place to win awards.

The WNBA’s 2026 collective bargaining agreement says, “only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.”

But there is no definition of women in the policy, and the issue of men playing in the WNBA by saying they identify as female is not discussed.

The WNBA was not allowed to simply let the issue fade after two former male NBA players said they want to be selected in the 2027 draft given the lack of any barriers in the league’s rules.

Buffeted by the winds of controversy, the league sought refuge in the traditional remedies of meetings, task forces, and PR statements.
