US officials described the hours of talks in Berlin as positive and said Trump in his call would seek to push forward the deal.

The US officials warned Ukraine must accept the deal, which they said would provide security guarantees in line with NATO’s Article Five – which calls an attack on one ally an attack on all.

“The basis of that agreement is basically to have really, really strong guarantees – Article Five-like – also a very, very strong deterrence” in the size of Ukraine’s military, a US official said on condition of anonymity.

“Those guarantees will not be on the table forever. Those guarantees are on the table right now if there’s a conclusion that’s reached in a good way,” he said.

A mysterious interstellar visitor is barreling toward its closest approach to Earth, and the world’s governments are scrambling.

The object, known as 3I/ATLAS, will swing past our planet on Friday at a distance of roughly 170 million miles, and while officials insist there is no imminent danger, the sheer scale of the international response tells a different story.

NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and 23 nations have launched a sweeping, year-long planetary defense exercise, the biggest in history.

They are using the object’s arrival to rehearse for the unthinkable: a real, incoming space threat.

China Hawks Face Setback With Trump’s Nvidia Deal, National Security Strategy– foreignpolicy.com

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he will permit semiconductor giant Nvidia to export its high-end H200 chips to China, potentially handing Beijing a boost in the battle for artificial intelligence supremacy. In characteristic fashion, Trump is insisting on the U.S. government taking a 25 percent cut of the sales.

The H200 isn’t Nvidia’s most advanced chip, but it outclasses the cut-down models that Nvidia had designed especially for the Chinese market. The deal is undoubtedly a product of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s lobbying in Washington, but it also appears designed to curry favor with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with whom Trump hopes to secure a significant trade agreement.

The move comes amid a flurry of conciliatory behavior toward China. Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, is reportedly tasked with blocking any U.S. government action that could jeopardize a potential trade deal with Beijing. Vice President J.D. Vance has been echoing Chinese rhetoric, and the administration effectively killed legislation that would have required U.S. firms to offer the government first-purchase rights on key chips.

As the nation continues to be roiled by debate over unfettered immigration and terrorism, with such deadly results as the recent D.C. shooting, a new horrifying plot comes into light. And two of the nation’s three broadcast network newscasts couldn’t be bothered to cover it.

NBC did, though. Watch the report in its entirety, as aired on NBC Nightly News on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025:

TOM LLAMAS: In Delaware a potentially violent attack on a college thwarted after police say they confronted a man and found rounds of ammunition in his car and detailed plans for an attack in his home. Sam Brock has more on the police work that appears to have saved lives.

SAM BROCK: Police in Delaware may have prevented catastrophe after finding this University of Delaware student, Luqqman Khan, inside his truck in a park after hours last week. Officers patrolling the area initiated a traffic stop. Khan was uncooperative and armed, they say, with a loaded Glock handgun, more than 1000 rounds of ammunition and an armored ballistic plate, as well as a notebook that according to the federal complaint states his desire to be a, quote, “martyr”, naming a member of the University of Delaware Police Department has a target. “Battle efficiency, kill all, martyrdom, all combatants”, he wrote.

The fact that martyrdom was invoked, does that add another chilling dimension to the story?

Belgium Wants to Euthanize Dementia Patients– www.lifenews.com

Blurb:

The Belga News Agency reported today that The Belgian Advisory Committee on Bioethics released an advisory report that supports euthanasia for people with advanced dementia.

Approval for euthanasia, which is killing a person by lethal poison, has moved from the terminally ill, to the chronically ill, to people with mental illness, to children and newborns and now to the incompetent.

Clearly The Belgian Advisory Committee have bought into a eugenic ideology based on the belief that some human lives are not worth living, and can be killed.

The Belga News Agency reported that:

At present, someone with advanced dementia cannot legally obtain euthanasia in Belgium. The current law requires that a person be mentally competent when requesting euthanasia, or that a prior living will or advance directive has been drawn up that applies when the patient is in a state of irreversible loss of consciousness – a coma.

This means that people with dementia can currently only request euthanasia if they are still sufficiently mentally competent. In 2024, 56 people with dementia in our country received euthanasia.

Resigning Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith deliberately manipulated Washington, D.C., crime data to appear lower, according to a new report.

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform’s majority staff released an interim report on Sunday as part of its ongoing investigation into allegations that MPD leadership pressured commanders to alter crime stats. The committee launched the probe into the department in August.

‘Chief Smith should resign today.’

After interviewing seven acting MPD commanders and one suspended MPD commander, the committee found that the department’s leadership placed “a higher priority on suppressing public reporting of crime statistics than stopping crime itself.”

Former FBI Director James Comey got another assist from a Clinton-appointed judge Friday as the Justice Department looks to hold him accountable for his role in Russiagate.

Last month, U.S. District Judge Cameron McGowan Currie, a Clinton appointee, ruled that Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was incorrectly appointed and therefore, the charges brought by her office against Comey were “defective.”

“All actions flowing from Ms. Halligan’s defective appointment … constitute unlawful exercises of executive power and must be set aside,” the judge wrote.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced at the time that the Justice Department would be appealing the ruling.

A terrorist attack on the Nuremberg Christmas market in Germany has been thwarted through the arrest of five suspects.

Bavaria’s Interior Minister Herrmann (CSU) spoke in Nuremberg on Sunday about the arrest of the men in Lower Bavaria who were allegedly planning to attack a Christmas market using a vehicle.

Multiple reports indicate that police believe the suspects – three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian – had an “Islamist motive.”

Terrorist attacks using vehicles to ram people have been on the rise in the past two decades. The method was used prominently by Palestinian terrorists in Israel in the early 2000s before a radical Muslim deployed the tactic at the University of North Carolina in 2006.

A federal appeals court has granted an emergency motion sought by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to halt contempt hearings scheduled to start this week over the deportation of suspected Venezuelan gang members.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg had scheduled contempt hearings for Dec. 15 and 16, over the Trump administration’s deportation of Venezuelan gang member under the Alien Enemies act in March of this year.

Boasberg had issued restraining orders on the deportation of two planeloads of suspected Tren de Aragua gang members, after the planes were already airborne.

Another South American country has gone “far-right” and the timing couldn’t be better for the U.S. as it seeks to secure its critical mineral supply chain.

Several weeks ago, Bolivia elected Rodrigo Paz as its new president. He promptly planned to scrap a ream of taxes as one of his first moves since becoming the nation’s first conservative leader in nearly two decades.

The government has also repaired relations with Washington after years of anti-American hostility dating back to when ex-President Evo Morales, a charismatic coca-growing union leader, kicked out the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 and cozied up to Russia, Iran and Venezuela.

The U.S. State Department has already announced agreements on nuclear cooperation and security assistance, and Paz has said his administration will allow Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate in Bolivia for the first time, after his predecessor refused to give it an operating license last year.

On December 7, 2024, 28-year-old Ghanian artist Joseph Awuah-Darko made headlines when he announced that his mental illness — what he called treatment-resistant bipolar disorder — had made his life unbearable and that he was planning to be euthanized in the Netherlands. He claimed that it had taken him four years to get approved for euthanasia.

But he wasn’t planning to go out quietly. First, he was planning a project called “The Last Supper,” in which he would sit down with hundreds of strangers for a meal and conversation — all, of course, carefully documented on his social media sites. The press went wild, describing the suicide promo tour as a “deeply personal yet profoundly universal journey” in which Awuah-Darko would “create moments of warmth, understanding, and human connection before his time runs out.”

Of course, Awuah-Darko’s time wasn’t “running out.” He had requested, and then scheduled, suicide-by-doctor. His “Last Supper” project — which seems to be a deliberately blasphemous derivative of the Last Supper of the Lord Jesus Christ before His Crucifixion — was designed to send precisely the sort of message that Dying With Dignity pushes on the public. Death by lethal injection isn’t a terrible thing at all. It simply allows you to factor death into your plans — and while you wait, you can be a “bipolar foodie,” to boot.

Blurb:

The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals must reexamine its decision to allow New York officials to levy massive fines on Amish parents for declining vaccines for their children, the Supreme Court ruled.

On Monday, the Supreme Court asked the Second Circuit to reconsider a ruling that upheld New York’s imposition of vaccine requirements on small Amish schools and, by extension, students. The Supreme Court said the court must reconsider the ruling in light of Mahmoud v. Taylor.

This summer, SCOTUS ruled in favor of a religiously diverse group of parents who said that sexualized school curriculum in Montgomery County, Maryland, public schools violated their religious rights. The school district eliminated opt-outs after an overwhelming number of parents requested them.

That ruling could now clear the way for greater religious freedom rights in other areas of life.

“This case is about the Amish defending their faith and way of life,” First Liberty Institute counsel Hiram Sasser told LifeSiteNews via a media statement. The group is representing the Amish parents fighting hundreds of thousands of dollars of fines.

He continued to blame Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for not embracing Trump’s plan without reservations. “I thought we were very close with Ukraine to having a deal.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has triggered a political firestorm this week after warning city officers they could be fired if they fail to intervene against what he deems “unlawful” or “excessive” force by federal immigration agents.

The directive immediately set Minneapolis on a collision course with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

GOA’s “Big Beautiful Lawsuit” Under Fire as Gun Control Groups and DOJ Defend National Gun Registry– www.usacarry.com

SAN ANGELO, TX — A high-stakes legal battle over the constitutionality of federal gun registration is heating up in Texas, as three of the nation’s leading gun control organizations have joined forces with the U.S. Department of Justice and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to defend the controversial National Firearms Act (NFA).

The lawsuit, Silencer Shop Foundation v. ATF, was brought by Gun Owners of America (GOA), the Silencer Shop Foundation, and other plaintiffs. They argue that the NFA’s registration requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and similar items are unconstitutional — especially after Congress eliminated the $200 transfer tax on many of these items in 2025. GOA contends that without a tax in place, the government has no constitutional authority to require a national gun registry.

Despite this change in law, the DOJ continues to enforce the registration framework, arguing that the NFA is still supported by Congress’s taxing and commerce clause powers. In a surprising twist, the DOJ’s position is now being reinforced by an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief filed by the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Giffords Law Center — the three largest gun control lobbying organizations in the country.

How Muslim Migrants Are Conquering the USA Block by Block

America’s heartland bleeds red, white, and blue, but in the shadows of Detroit’s rusting factories, a foreign army advances with calculated fury. It’s no accident. It’s a blueprint forged in the fires of conquest: immigrate as the oppressed, multiply like a storm front, demand your caliphate’s laws, and crush the infidel culture beneath your boot. This isn’t theory – it’s happening now, in Hamtramck and Dearborn, where minarets pierce the sky and Sharia’s shadow darkens school boards, city halls, and welfare lines. The invaders don’t whisper; they roar through loudspeakers five times a day, calling the faithful to prayer while the rest of us fund their siege.
