President Donald Trump told Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook that she had been terminated on Monday, citing allegations of mortgage fraud. “Pursuant to my authority under Article II of the Constitution of the United States and the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, as amended, you are hereby removed from your position on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, effective immediately,” Trump wrote to Cook in a letter. “The Federal Reserve Act provides that you may be removed, at my discretion, for cause,” he wrote. “I have determined that there is sufficient cause to remove you from your position.” Trump cited allegations by Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, who accused Cook of claiming two separate properties as her primary address within weeks of purchasing each with financing. “President Trump purported to fire me ‘for cause’ when no cause exists under the law, and he has no authority to do so,” Cook said in a statement responding to Trump’s letter. “I will not resign. I will continue to carry out my duties to help the American economy as I have been doing since 2022.” Cook, who has not been charged with a crime, has hired attorney Abbe Lowell as legal counsel. Lowell is a veteran defense attorney with decades of experience representing high-profile political figures, including former President Bill Clinton, former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), and Hunter Biden. End of Summer Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships “President Trump has taken to social media to once again ‘fire by tweet’ and once again his reflex to bully is flawed and his demands lack any proper process, basis, or legal authority,” said Lowell. “We will take whatever actions are needed to prevent his attempted illegal action.” Pulte accused Cook of having “falsified bank documents and property records” to purchase two properties, a house in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and a condo in Atlanta, according to CNN. Mortgage documents show that Cook took out mortgages on both properties and claimed both as her primary residence. Trump said Monday that questions about Cook’s integrity have undermined Americans’ confidence in her ability to serve on the Federal Reserve. “The Federal Reserve has tremendous responsibility for setting interest rates and regulating reserve and member banks,” Trump wrote. “The American people must be able to have full confidence in the honesty of the members entrusted with setting policy and overseeing the Federal Reserve.” “In light of your deceitful and potentially criminal conduct in a financial matter, they cannot and I do not have such confidence in your integrity. At a minimum, the conduct at issue exhibits the sort of gross negligence in financial transactions that calls into question your competence and trustworthiness as a financial regulator,” he wrote. ?

President Trump signs executive orders to eliminate cashless bail nationwide and prepare National Guard units for deployment to crime-ridden cities. Alleged MS-13 member Kilmar Abrego Garcia is detained by ICE and faces deportation to Uganda after turning down a plea deal. Cracker Barrel apologizes after a “woke” rebranding effort sparks a massive customer backlash and costs the company nearly $100 million. It’s Tuesday, August 26, 2025, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Morning Wire is available on video! You can watch today’s episode here: If you’d rather listen to your news, today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below: Trump Signs Executive Orders to Crack Down on Crime Topline: Emboldened by a dramatic drop in crime in Washington, D.C., President Trump signed a series of executive orders on Monday aimed at cracking down on “soft on crime” policies nationwide. The first executive order targets cashless bail, a policy that allows suspects to be released from custody without posting bail while they await trial. The order begins by eliminating the policy in D.C. and threatens to withhold federal funding from any other jurisdiction that keeps the policy in place. “Somebody kills somebody, they go, don’t worry about it, no cash, come back in a couple of months. … You never see the person again,” Trump said. A second order directs Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to establish specialized National Guard units in each state, specifically trained and equipped to quell “civil disturbances.” A third order targets the desecration of the American flag. While the Supreme Court has ruled that flag burning is protected speech, the order directs the Attorney General to “vigorously prosecute” offenders for related crimes like trespassing and calls for the revocation of visas for any non-citizens who burn the flag. The moves were met with defiance from some Democrats. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker warned federal officials against trying to “incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous.” Alleged MS-13 Member Detained, Faces Deportation to Uganda Topline: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien and alleged MS-13 gang member, was detained by ICE on Monday and may be deported to Uganda after he rejected a plea deal on human smuggling charges. Abrego Garcia was taken into custody at an ICE office in Baltimore on Monday after turning down a deal that would have allowed him to plead guilty to human smuggling and be deported to Costa Rica. He now faces potential deportation to Uganda, one of several African countries that have agreed to take non-violent illegal aliens from the U.S. His attorney immediately filed a lawsuit to block the deportation. The case has been assigned to Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee who has previously sided with Abrego Garcia. The detention comes as the Trump administration celebrates a major victory in its war on cartels. On Monday, Mexican cartel kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a top official in the Sinaloa Cartel, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking and is expected to be sentenced to life in prison. “El Mayor will spend the rest of his life behind bars,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “Their reign of terror is over.” Cracker Barrel Apologizes After ‘Woke’ Rebrand Backfires Topline: Cracker Barrel has issued an apology after a major rebranding effort, which critics blasted as an attempt to distance the chain from its traditional Southern roots, sparked a massive customer backlash and cost the company nearly $100 million in market value. Last week, the restaurant chain unveiled a new, modern logo that removed the iconic barrel and “Uncle Herschel” character, and began remodeling its stores with a blander, white-walled aesthetic that was widely mocked online. After losing nearly $100 million in market value, the company released a statement Monday saying they “could have done a better job” with the rollout. The backlash is seen as part of a larger culture war debate. Critics have pointed to the company’s recent embrace of Pride month, its removal of “Duck Dynasty” merchandise, and the revelation that its former head of management training served on an advisory council for the LGBTQ activist group the Human Rights Campaign as evidence of the company kowtowing to left-wing activists. Brand consultant Andrew Beck told Morning Wire that the company’s new communication strategy is attempting to “reach a customer that looks more like the people … that were recruited to do this change than it does the actual customers of Cracker Barrel.”

Living in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is a Congo African grey parrot named Coco. While living a solitary life with no siblings and asking the local leprechaun for a best friend, the bird soon met a tuxedo cat. The parrot may “think” the cat is his best friend, but the cat seems to think Coco would make a great lunch. @clairerosa90 Another episode of unlikely animal friendships. The cat jumps up at the window again at the end. After I stopped recorded coco said “don’t be cheeky to bird. The cat was cheeky to bird” can’t believe I didn’t get that recorded #unlikelyanimalfriends #cat #catdiaries #parrot #parrottok #talkingparrot #africangreyparrot #africangrey #parrotsoftiktok ♬ original sound – Claire Rosa Coco has a limited vocabulary, but he does love to hear himself talk. He keeps up a pretty good stream of chatter throughout the day. He has a not-so-nice nickname for his human mom, Claire Rosa, and their Alexa device. She is trying to break him of those habits while encouraging better words. The Congo African grey parrot is a very talkative species. When the animal visits, Coco announces to the room, “Look, a cat.” The silly parrot tries to “boop” his friend through the window. The inside bird seems to be a curiosity for the neighborhood cats. In addition to the little tuxedo, they have at least five other cats that visit to say hello to Coco. The bird only has eyes for one, though. Image from TikTok. We don’t think Claire Rosa is Coco’s first human. He has an affinity for certain aspects of the human anatomy and an adoration of insults. According to Coco, it is not him pooping on the paper, and he has even blamed it on the cat, which has never been inside. Tossing the bird in the bin (trash can) seems to be a threat that poor Coco has heard enough to have it in his repertoire. Claire assures us that he has never been tossed in the bin.

The entire South American continent is a hub of UFO activity, and has been since the start of the Modern UFO Era. There is little doubt, though, that one of the most active countries, in terms of UFO and alien encounters, not only in South America but in the world, is Brazil, which has boasted regular and consistent reports since the 1950s, at least. Moreover, many of these encounters feature multiple witnesses and also include veteran military and commercial airline pilots. In short, while we should treat all encounters from anywhere in the world with a cautionary pinch of salt, there is good reason to suggest that many of the following accounts are very credible.

A deadly tropical disease known as sleeping sickness has been eliminated from Kenya in a significant public health triumph. The East African nation is the 10th on the continent to achieve the milestone, but also the most populous to do so. Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) results from the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, that spreads to humans through […] The post WHO Declares Kenya Free of This Deadly Tropical Parasite After Decades of Suffering appeared first on Good News Network.

by a Concerned Venezuelan With all things happening and events speeding up these last few days, every Venezuelan has the sense that something is going to happen anytime. The US Secretary of State has sent warships toward the area, and Maduro has in turn sent 15,000 troops to the border. How do I know? Easy: No classes, no kids on the streets, means no harm for them, low possibilities of civilian casualties, and no possibility of the gang using that for a fake narrative. stronger rhetoric from both sides 3 warships in the Caribbean and 3 more on the way…? The gang weaponized the power grid, among other basic needs, such as FOOD, and any intervention to restore democracy in the country will imply a communications and power grid blackout, with unforeseen consequences, and unpredictable duration. We have now filtered this through the survivalist perspective of someone who’s lived through systemic collapse and is bracing for what may come next, Dispatch for this week: August 2025 With everything unfolding so rapidly—especially in the last few days—it’s impossible to ignore the feeling that something big is about to happen. The pace of events has accelerated, and every Venezuelan I know feels it in their bones. It’s not just speculation anymore. It’s a collective intuition, sharpened by years of surviving under pressure, betrayal, sadness, and oppressive silence. This is one of the strongest barriers, people: the psychological aspect. As a matter of fact, youngsters are susceptible to being affected in ways we never know. There are official statements coming from the U.S.—especially those linked to the bus driver incident—and they’re not just diplomatic noise. They’re signals. Strong markers. And when you’ve lived through enough cycles of chaos, you learn to read between the lines. You learn to listen to what’s not being said. You learn to watch the streets, not the screens. How do I know something’s coming? Simple. You just have to understand the implications of a military operation. That is the reason this deployment is in school holidays, when schools are closed. The streets are quieter than normal, and people do their business as usual. No children playing outside means that they won’t get caught in any dangerous confrontation, or be run over by a pickup with armed, masked guys. That’s strategic. Because any negative propaganda, like innocent bystanders killed in the attempt to remove one of the most dangerous threats to the US stability since Bin Laden, could be used by their allies as an excuse to send them aid. This is a means to avoid giving the (ahem) “regime” any excuse to twist the narrative. Because that’s what they do. They weaponize stories. The insidious Russian propaganda and the century-old Chinese machinery that have been manufacturing lies are very close, watching everything. They need now more than ever to fabricate chaos to justify their grip. They have been using suffering as a shield and a sword. Cuban School. And right now, the rhetoric from both sides—internal and external—is intensifying. The language is no longer cautious. It’s confrontational. It’s raw. It’s the kind of language that precedes severe action. The kind that doesn’t leave room for negotiation. They used “negotiation” to do as they pleased and deceive anyone. Paid under the table to the “negotiators” in Barbados, and Norway pimped them for five whole years. Always “believing” that they were a “government by the people, for the people”…while they made fortunes with the flow of a real river of white powder mixed with fentanyl slowly undermined the lives of 100.000 US people per year… Meanwhile, the gang is acting erratically. Their behavior is more desperate, more unpredictable. There are already three members of the bus driver’s inner circle (ministers and deputies of the Assembly) in prison. They’re tightening control, issuing contradictory orders, and lashing out in ways that feel like the final throes of a dying system. They’re not just afraid—they’re cornered. And that makes them dangerous, more than ever. I’ve said this before, and I’ll keep saying it: They weaponized the power grid. They turned electricity into a tool of control. Same with food. Hunger was used as leverage. Starvation became a policy. They didn’t just let the system collapse—they engineered it. They made scarcity a strategy. They made suffering a currency. And now, if there’s any kind of intervention—military, diplomatic, or otherwise—to restore democracy or even just stabilize the region, we know what’s coming: A total blackout. No communications. No power. No internet. No way to reach loved ones. No way to know what’s happening beyond your immediate surroundings. And the worst part? We won’t know how long it’ll last. It could be hours. It could be days or weeks. The consequences will be unpredictable. And some of us are indeed preparing. Quietly. Methodically. We remember. Because when you’ve survived this long, you don’t panic. Not anymore. You adapt. We’ve learned to read the signs. We’ve learned to listen to the silence. We’ve learned to trust our instincts more than any official broadcast. We’ve learned that survival isn’t just about food and water—it’s about information, too. It’s about timing. It’s about knowing when to move and when to disappear. And right now, everything is pointing to a moment of rupture. The guys are losing control. Their grip is slipping. Their propaganda is failing. And more importantly…Their fear is showing. They’ve started to lash out at their own people. They will shut down the power grid, leaving entire neighborhoods without electricity, without any prior warning. They’ve started to establish checkpoints and reading phones, as a means of controlling people and “catch conspirators”. They’re trying to blind us before the storm hits. But we’re not blind. We see them. We see everything. We see the military movements. We see the sudden disappearances. We see the foreign ships in Caribbean waters. And we see the silence from the thugs’ allies who once spoke loudly. And we remember. We remember the hunger and the endless lines for food. We remember the blackouts. We remember the silence we were forced to keep. We remember the betrayals, especially in the state-owned oil industry. We remember the years we lost. We remember the children who never made it to adulthood. We remember the elders who died waiting for medicine. We remember the families torn apart by exile. We remember the friends who vanished without a trace. And we carry those memories like armor. Because this time, we won’t be caught off guard. People built networks and hid supplies. Others mapped escape routes. We’re street-trained ourselves to survive without systems. We’ve learned to live in the cracks of a broken nation. We’ve managed to get some power. To find food. And now we have our own truth. And we’re ready. Not for war. Or violence. But for survival. For the possibility of something better. Because even in the darkest moments, we still believe in light. We still believe in each other. We still believe that Venezuela can rise again—not through slogans or speeches, but through the quiet resilience of its people. Nextly, let’s see the scenario for the next few days, and a short list of equipment we could need. Short list of essential items for a total disruption of normal life Curfew, water and energy rationing, no access to fresh food, etc.— these things typically happen, to the eyes of many, at the onset of war or severe crisis. The first step, as many of us know already, is securing your Basic autonomous infrastructure Local power sources: portable solar panel (personal choice once I get the coin), battery bank (will build myself), and if you have kids, a manual or pedal generator will keep them busy and transferring that excess of energy to a better place: your battery rack. Water storage and filtering system: ceramic or charcoal filters (I have been using a little Sawyer for almost 3 years in a row now, and it still works), sealed water containers, and purification tablets. Lighting: LED flashlights. I find the ones with removable regular rechargeable batteries the best option: the body can withstand plenty of abuse. Once the batteries are depleted, replace them with another set. Get some long-burning candles and solar lamps just in case. This is the choice for many Venezuelans, indeed. Don’t fall in that Asian trap. “Rechargeable” flashlights will stop working in a couple of years unless you get the good industrial-grade stuff; the LEDs will dim beyond uselessness in a couple of years, and will leave you stranded in the dark. Get the models where you can replace your batteries as you please, and make sure to get a rechargeable battery pack. Read these articles in Programmed obsolescence and standardization. Non-perishable food and cooking Modular food reserve: canned goods, dried grains, energy bars, salt/sugar. Portable cooking setup: Dual fuel stove (mine is discontinued for some reason, it was the Gulf War model), alcohol stove (I never used one, you make your pick), or rocket stove (make sure you have an option to cook for several rainy days in a row). Essential seasonings: to avoid food fatigue (bouillon, spices, oil). I love this little “kit”.  Communication and documentation Multiband radio: battery-powered or hand-crank radio, for receiving news. There are many options to choose from. You get what you pay for. Buying to stash is unwise. Get the good stuff and use it as a daily driver. Documentation: physical and digital copies of ID, maps, and contact lists. Offline device: phone with local apps, offline maps, and useful PDFs. Read this article for more information. Tools and maintenance Basic kit: multitool (I have one of these and they are awesome, otherwise I wouldn’t put a link), duct tape, wire, a good knife. Minimal hygiene: soap, toilet paper, bleach, sealable bags Modular first aid kit: painkillers, dressings, antibiotics, gloves Protection and adaptability Durable clothing: waterproof, thermal gloves and caps Visual protection: goggles, dust mask (a necessity, because of wildfires!), and a shemagh Antileak backpack: compartmentalized, water-resistant, ready for evacuation. I totally avoid zippers on my backpacks. For the youngsters out there still able to run into the woods with a backpack, trust me, you don’t want zippers when you have to run away for whatever reason you find in a forest. Losing your gear can be deadly. So, use top loaders. The military uses backpacks with zippers because they have money to throw. Mind you, the Alice pack is one of the best designs ever. This is the bare minimum list you need at home. Sure, throw in some hooks and line, and hunting/fishing stuff if you plan to go into the wild. But we have enough already with things happening in the cities. And our surrounding woods are not exactly friendly. Not to those without proper training. Venomous snakes year-round, for instance, and so on. I hope you find this little article useful, guys. Please, contribute to keep this wonderful site up and running. The differences with other sites and the information work done since the last worldwide disaster should have given you a hint by now. Thanks for your reading!
