The world just witnesses a shockingly one-sided air war between Pakistan and India last week. Pakistan air force, equipped with Chinese weapon systems, took down a large number of India air combat assets while suffering zero loss.
The air battle featured Chinese-made J-10C fighters, PL-15 air to air missiles, HQ-9 air defense system, and ZDK-03 AWACS. Reported India losses included 3 French-made Rafale fighters, 1 Russia-made Su-30, 1 MiG-29, and 1 Israel-made Heron UAV.
The greatest earthquakes in the history of the continental United States occurred along the New Madrid fault zone in the middle of the country. In 1811 and 1812, there was a series of catastrophic earthquakes that were so powerful that they jolted people all the way up in Canada. Those quakes made the Mississippi River run backwards, they made church bells in Boston ring, and they were even felt inside the White House. Today, millions of Americans live in the New Madrid fault zone, and most of them don’t think much about the enormous “geological scar” that exists deep inside the ground under their feet. But scientists assure us that it is just a matter of time before that very deep “geological scar” rips wide open, and when it does it will create a disaster on a scale that most of us can’t even imagine right now.
What Trump signed on April 28, 2025, under the banner “Strengthening and Unleashing America’s Law Enforcement,” is not a new policy. It is the formal expansion of a long-standing system of protection, militarization, and centralized authority cloaked in law enforcement language. This executive order doesn’t simply embolden police departments—it overrides local autonomy, eliminates procedural accountability, and grants new powers and protections to an already insulated class of state enforcers. It does so while embedding Pentagon assets, national security prerogatives, and DOJ legal cover into the very structure of local law enforcement.
