President Donald Trump said the US would be “starting” land strikes on drug operations in Latin America, though again declined to provide details on when and where the escalation of his military campaign would actually begin, or if countries could still do anything to avert the threatened action.

“We knocked out 96% of the drugs coming in by water, and now we’re starting by land, and by land is a lot easier, and that’s going to start happening,” Trump told reporters Friday in the Oval Office.

The US president for days has been pledging to broaden the effort, which comes after the Pentagon has launched a series of attacks on what it has called drug-smuggling boats in international waters off the coast of South America.

While Trump’s posturing has largely been seen as a pressure campaign against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, he on Friday insisted the land targeting may not only impact Venezuela.

“It doesn’t necessarily have to be in Venezuela,” he said, adding that “people that are bringing in drugs to our country are targets.”

Trump has justified the actions in part by framing the fight against drug smuggling as akin to combat operations. He told reporters that if overdose deaths were counted like combat deaths, it would be “like a war that would be unparalleled.”

Striking targets on land would represent a major escalation, and Maduro earlier this week said that if his nation came under foreign attack, the working class should mount a “general insurrectionary strike” and push for “an even more radical revolution.”

ST. LOUIS (KTVI) — Budweiser is rewarding adults who have received the COVID-19 vaccine with a free round of beer.

Budweiser sat out of this year’s Super Bowl to reallocate funds for COVID-19 vaccine education and awareness. Now the “King of Beers” continues to drive that message by rewarding those who rolled up their sleeves for the shot.
How can you get a free round of beer:

Budweiser is rewarding people 21 and older who show they’ve been vaccinated with a free round of beer.
Consumers can upload proof of vaccination (i.e. a selfie with their vaccination sticker) to ABeerOnBud.com to enter to receive the free beer.
The prize comes in the form of a $5 virtual debit card that can be used to purchase one Budweiser beer.

The company is sharing its “Reunited with Buds” ad featuring the Clydesdales and puppy set to Queen’s legendary hit “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

The new version of the spot encourages consumers to get a vaccine and contribute to the safe return to bars. It ran for a short time over the summer, and Budweiser is bringing it back to respond to the countrywide excitement for a safe reopening.

A man “lost control” and broke the arm of a crying baby he was supposed to be looking after. Ra-shawn Oluwatobi, 27, put his hand on the three-month-old boy’s shoulder and deliberately pushed down on him after becoming frustrated with the baby's wailing.

After breaking the boy's arm, Oluwatobi reportedly panicked and placed the crying boy in a sleeping bag in his mum's bedroom at her house. Later that day, he sent a message to the baby's mum - who was not present at the time of the assault - telling her he had "f***ed up" and hurt the baby's arm.

The mum initially could not see anything wrong with her baby, but took him to Alder Hey Children's Hospital the next day after noticing he appeared to be having trouble moving his arm. There a scan revealed he had suffered a spiral fracture to his right upper arm bone.

Oluwatobi, of Laurel Road, Fairfield, was arrested, and later pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

At Liverpool crown court today, December 12, prosecutor Matthew Dixon said: "The defendant was at the baby's mother's house, minding the baby. The baby woke up and the defendant gave him a bottle. He started crying and the defendant tried to stop him, but nothing the defendant did seemed to be making any difference.

"After a short while the defendant got annoyed and put the baby down on a chair. He then lost control and put pressure down on the baby's right shoulder, pushing down with one of his hands. The simply caused the baby to cry even more.

"He checked the baby's arm and saw that it was drooping, and panicked and put the baby in a sleeping bag in his mother's bedroom."

Photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein tie the late, convicted sex offender to President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, tech billionaire Bill Gates and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.

These men and others are featured in the roughly 95,000 photos the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has received from the Epstein estate as part of its ongoing investigation. House Democrats publicly released 19 photos Friday morning.

“It is time to end this White House cover-up and bring justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful friends,” said the Oversight Committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Robert Garcia of California, in a statement. “These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files, NOW.”

The White House and other individuals in the photographs beyond Trump did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The Justice Department is required to release the full tranche of Epstein-related documents by Dec. 19, per the terms of legislation Congress passed last month.

US set to lose measles elimination status: The ‘house is on fire’

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5647002-measles-status-outbreaks-kennedy/

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the nation is likely to lose its status as a country where the disease is eliminated, something that infectious disease specialists say is directly related to President Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

South Carolina this week quarantined at least 254 people after confirming more than two dozen measles cases in the state. It’s the latest in what has been the worst year for measles in the U.S. in recent history.

An outbreak in West Texas this year saw more than 700 confirmed cases since January and the deaths of two children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been 47 reported outbreaks in the country this year.

“This is a very clear example of the damage that the anti-vaccine movement has done in the United States,” said Fiona Havers, adjunct associate professor at the Emory School of Medicine and a former infectious disease staffer at the CDC.

Kennedy was one of the country’s most well-known anti-vaccine advocates when Trump named him to lead the HHS. Since taking power, Kennedy has moved to remake the nation’s vaccine advisory board and other parts of the government to reflect his vision.

A nation loses its distinction as a country where measles has been eliminated when it sees at least 12 months of sustained transmission.

AOC splurged nearly $50K on pricey hotel stays, dining and renting Puerto Rico concert venue where Bad Bunny performed

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dropped almost $50,000 on hotels and meals in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of this year — as well as renting a San Juan venue where she was caught on tape grooving at an August Bad Bunny concert.

AOC’s principal campaign committee shelled out $680.52 on July 28 to stay at the lavish Hotel Palacio Provincial, along with another $1,507.26 on Aug. 29 and a whopping $9,440,79 on Sept. 29, according to third quarter federal campaign finance filings — even as the “Squad” rep on her social media accounts denounced gentrification that was taking place on the island.

A Georgia woman suffered severe burns to her face and body after being doused with a toxic chemical in a random attack while she was strolling through a park — and her sadistic assailant is still on the loose.

Ashley Wasielewski, 46, was walking laps around Forsyth Park in Savannah Wednesday night after attending a Christmas program at a nearby church when a stranger approached her from behind and poured the corrosive liquid over her head, according to her devastated friends and family.

She let out a blood-curdling scream as the chemical burned her skin, ate through her clothing, and melted her car’s key fob in her pocket.

“She was instantly like, ‘Why are you pouring water on me?’ And then her skin started to burn,” said her close friend Connor Milam, who described Wasielewski as a giving person who often volunteered in her community and provided essential items to the homeless.

“She looked down and her pants were starting to burn off her body. She started screaming. They didn’t rob her. They didn’t take anything from her. This was a random person in the park who went out of their way to disfigure another human being.”

Wasielewski was rushed to the Augusta Burn Center, where she’s being treated for second- and third-degree burns over half her body, including her face, scalp, hands and legs, according to her son Westley.

Moore was fired for cause due to an 'inappropriate relationship' with a staffer.

Two US soldiers and a US civilian interpreter have been killed in Syria in an ambush by a lone Islamic State gunman, the US military has said.
Three other service members were injured in the attack, during which the gunman was "engaged and killed".
The identities of those killed are being withheld for 24 hours until their next of kin have been informed.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, said: "Let it be known, if you target Americans - anywhere in the world you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you."
The ambush occurred in Palmyra, located in the centre of the country, according to Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.

Foreign fighters
Another woman said two of her female relatives, one of them a teenager, were taken by foreign fighters from a street in March. According to the relative’s account, the two were held in the basement of a house several hours away. There, the teenager was raped by the same man for 10 days until he left. The other woman was raped by another person for about two months, after which they were set free.
Another victim, who was 19, said she was taken in early July by three masked foreign fighters – an Iraqi and two non-Arabs.
“You Alawites are filthy infidels,” one of the men told her. When she tried to argue and begged for her life, he hit her head against the windshield until she bled.
She was locked in a basement of the Iraqi’s home. He threatened to kill her if she didn’t let him touch her. When she started screaming, he left, fearing neighbors would hear, she said.
She said she tried to kill herself by breaking a glass and cutting her vein, but the cut was not deep enough.
The next day, the Iraqi told her that his “emir,” a term used by jihadis to refer to their leader, had decided to set her free “on the condition that you learn about Islam.” The next morning, he put her in the car with his wife and children. On the way, he told her not to tell people she had been kidnapped but to say she’d left home of her own will to learn about Islam. They stopped and he bought her sweets from a store, then dropped her off at a taxi station in Idlib city, she said.
Not long after returning home, a state investigator came to her family home and questioned her about what happened. She identified the Iraqi through security footage from the sweets shop. But it is not known if he was arrested, and officials did not comment when asked.
Fearing reprisals, the family fled Syria.

The two countries incel wignat white nationalists worship are going to import millions of Indians.

https://m.economictimes.com/nri/work/as-western-doors-close-new-ones-open-for-indians/amp_articleshow/125872564.cms

As favourite immigration destinations of Indians such as the United States, Canada and many other developed countries, tighten entry pathways, global labour mobility is finding other routes. Rising nativism, political pressures and restrictive visa regimes in many Western nations are reshaping how workers, especially from labour-abundant countries like India, move around the world. The contraction in one part of the world is coinciding with an expansion in another. Russia, Japan and several other ageing or labour-short economies are increasingly opening their doors to Indian workers.

In July this year, a Russian business leader had expressed hope about inviting a large number of Indian workers. "As far as I know, by the end of the year, 1 million specialists from India will come to Russia, including the Sverdlovsk region. A new Consulate General is opening in Yekaterinburg, which will deal with these issues," Andrey Besedin, the head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told the RosBusinessConsulting (RBC) news agency. Besedin said the migration of Indians would fill the shortage of a highly qualified workforce in the Sverdlovsk region.

Japan’s turn towards Indian workforce

Japan, like Russia, faces a demographic crisis but has traditionally been cautious about large-scale immigration. That stance has begun to soften in recent years, and the August 2025 India-Japan Action Plan on Human Resources marks a breakthrough in bilateral manpower cooperation.

Senate Republicans on Thursday blocked a motion to advance a Democrat-drafted bill to extend enhanced health insurance premium subsidies that are due to expire at the end of 2025, tax credits that Democrats say are needed to keep premiums from rising by double digits next year.

The legislation, which needed 60 votes to advance, failed by a vote of 51 to 48.

Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) voted for the Democratic plan to extend the enhanced health insurance tax credits, even though both lawmakers have called for reforms to the program. Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), who is up for reelection next year, and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) also voted for the Democratic proposal.

The unusual vote on a Democratic-crafted health care plan while Republicans control the Senate was set up by a deal Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) struck with centrist Democrats to end the recent 43-day government shutdown.

The proposal, unveiled by Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), would have extended the enhanced subsidies, which were first enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, another three years.

“Our bill is the last train to leave the station. After this, we will not have time to try again before premiums shoot through the roof next year,” Schumer said on the Senate floor before the vote.
