US Politics
InfoWars reporter Jamie White was found dead outside his Austin home in what is being investigated as a homicide. The incident has drawn attention from InfoWars host Alex Jones, who described White as a dedicated journalist. The investigation is ongoing, with the Austin Police Department yet to release further details. While some speculate on a targeted attack, others suggest it could be unrelated to his journalism.
Meanwhile, the arrest of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil by ICE has sparked a debate over free speech and immigration policy. Khalil, a green card holder and pro-Palestinian activist, was detained under orders from the State Department. He has not been charged with any crime, raising constitutional questions. The arrest is allegedly part of a broader Trump administration initiative to revoke visas and green cards of individuals deemed to support Hamas. Columbia University is facing calls to reinstate its “Sanctuary Campus Policy” following the incident. Critics, including Amnesty International, have condemned the arrest as an infringement on Khalil’s rights, while supporters argue that universities should not harbor those who support terrorism.
Relatedly, Miriam Adelson, a prominent figure in Republican politics, has been a significant financial backer of President Trump. Her $100 million donation to Trump’s campaign has led to discussions about her influence on U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Israel. Adelson’s political involvement continues the legacy of her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, and her contributions have positioned her as a key figure in shaping conservative politics in the U.S. Some critics suggest her donations could lead to policy decisions favoring Israel, while others defend her right to support candidates aligned with her views.
Marco Rubio, known for his firm stance on international issues, has reportedly supported military interventions and sanctions, particularly against China and in the Middle East. His appointment as Secretary of State aligns with Trump’s pro-Israel policies and may affect U.S. relations with Taiwan, Latin America, and other regions. While some conservative groups welcome his strong national security stance, others criticize his past support for controversial policies, such as the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen.
Economy
The Trump administration’s strategy has raised concerns about a potential recession. Efforts to reduce government spending, led by figures like Elon Musk, could lead to economic contraction. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have discussed the need for a “detox period” as the economy transitions from public to private spending. The administration’s approach involves fiscal contraction and tariff policies, aiming for long-term growth despite short-term economic challenges. While some analysts warn of a recession, others argue these measures are necessary corrections to previous fiscal policies.
Health
Dr. Peter McCullough has linked the current bird flu outbreak to gain-of-function research at the USDA Poultry Research Laboratory in Georgia. The virus, identified as CLADE 23446, has spread to various mammals and migratory birds, raising concerns about traditional biosecurity measures. The McCullough Foundation has criticized mass culling practices and called for investigations into the USDA’s handling of the outbreak, which has impacted egg prices and the food supply chain. Some scientists argue that the virus’s natural evolution could also explain its emergence, without the need for lab-based origins.
Geopolitics
The Trump administration is reportedly pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to hold elections and consider territorial concessions to Russia as part of a peace agreement. This move is tied to the resumption of U.S. military aid and intelligence sharing. The administration’s strategy includes a potential minerals deal with Ukraine and a focus on elections, with Trump reportedly criticizing Zelensky’s leadership during wartime. Zelensky has rejected territorial concessions, emphasizing Ukraine’s commitment to its sovereignty.
In other news, foul play is not being ruled out in a collision between a U.S. military tanker and a container ship in the North Sea. The incident has raised questions about maritime security and the potential for geopolitical tensions in the region. While some speculate on sabotage, others consider navigational errors or mechanical failures as possible causes.

Bird Flu Outbreak Tied to USDA Lab Experiments, Claims Dr. McCullough
This strain of bird flu is different. This looks like it actually came from serial passage research done at the USDA Poultry Research Laboratory in Athens, Georgia … We’re so sure of it that we’ve published this in a peer-reviewed paper … and it hasn’t been disputed by any of the public health officials.
