Trump admin to begin releasing highly anticipated UFO and ‘extraterrestrial life’ files — here’s what to expect
It’s disclosure day.
The timeframe was disclosed during a West Wing meeting on Thursday attended by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a member of the House Oversight Committee’s task force on the declassification of federal secrets.
“It’s going to start tomorrow. It’s going to have some stuff in there from pilots, and maybe one video,” Burchett told independent journalist Jeremy Corbell in a conversation shared with The Post.
“Pilot materials” could refer to encounters that American military aviators had with UFOs while on active duty, according to sources.
The first release will not include the 46 UFO videos that Congress has demanded the Department of War release to the public. Read more here.
Trump downplays US-Iran attacks as ‘love tap’ — insists cease-fire is still holding despite attack on Navy ships
“Three World Class American Destroyers just transited, very successfully, out of the Strait of Hormuz, under fire,” he posted to Truth Social. “There was no damage done to the three Destroyers.”
The president poetically described the event as an overwhelming loss for the “Iranian attackers,” who he said were “completely destroyed along with numerous small boats, which are being used to take the place of their fully decapitated Navy.”
“These boats went to the bottom of the Sea, quickly and efficiently. Missiles were shot at our Destroyers, and were easily knocked down,” he said. “Likewise, drones came, and were incinerated while in the air. They dropped ever so beautifully down to the Ocean, very much like a butterfly dropping to its grave!” Read more, see photos and video here.

Marco Rubio is a rock star in the Trump admin – and making himself a serious candidate for prez in 2028

President Trump rolls him out whenever he has a problem to solve.
Whether it’s filling in as national archivist, blowing cartel drug boats out of the water, DOGEing USAID to death or sitting as vice chairman of the “Saving College Sports” council, Rubio is Trump’s Mr. Fix-it.
His Tuesday stint filling in for White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who is on maternity leave, became a viral sensation on several fronts: his casual use of rap and hip-hop lyrics like “insane in the brain” (Cypress Hill) to describe the Iranian leaders and his warning that they “should check themselves before they wreck themselves” (Ice Cube) earned him cool dad credits with the press pool.

China orders firms to ignore US Iran sanctions, daring US to enforce crackdown
Expert calls the move 'a measure of defiance by Beijing' as Trump administration intensifies pressure on Tehran's oil revenue

China
has ordered companies to disregard U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian
oil, forcing a direct test of Washington’s ability to enforce its
crackdown on Iran.
A new directive, issued through China’s Commerce Ministry Sunday, invokes a 2021 "blocking statute" that prohibits firms from complying with foreign sanctions deemed illegitimate. The order applies to several Chinese refiners accused by the United States of purchasing Iranian crude, including major independent processors known as "teapot" refineries.
The move represents a shift from years of opaque workarounds to more explicit state-backed resistance, as Beijing signals it will not cooperate with U.S. efforts to cut off a key source of revenue for Iran.
"This is unprecedented. It’s a major escalation in terms of China’s response to U.S. economic statecraft. It is a measure of defiance by Beijing," said Max Meizlish, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of...Read more, and see video here.

Nine of the organization’s race-ratings changes were made in Florida, where Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new GOP-friendly congressional map into law earlier this week.
