These are evident branches of, rather than deductions from, the duty of self-preservation, commonly called the first law of nature.” The Biden regime, together with its allies in the World Economic Forum and the Chinese Communist Party, consider those natural rights, not unalienable endowed by the Creator, but as privileges dispensed or withdrawn according to… READ MORE DONATE to A.F.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro said on Monday that the United States is seeking to oust him after President Donald Trump deployed the military to the Southern Caribbean to take on Latin American drug cartels. Speaking to journalists, Maduro said that Venezuela must confront “the biggest threat that has been seen on our continent in the last 100 years,” adding, “They are seeking a regime change through military threat,” Fox News reported. The Venezuelan leader said that his country is “super prepared” to address any threats to its sovereignty. “A situation like this has never been seen,” he added. Last month, Trump directed the Pentagon to deploy U.S. troops and warships to address “threats to U.S. national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region,” according to Reuters. The Trump administration has accused Maduro and his government of taking part in massive drug trafficking operations that smuggle narcotics into the United States. The government recently increased the bounty on Maduro to $50 million, citing his alleged ties to transnational gangs and drug cartels. After President Trump took office in January, the State Department also designated the Venezuelan international criminal gang, Tren de Aragua (TdA), as a foreign terrorist organization. The State Department also recently added the Venezuelan Cartel de los Soles to the foreign terrorist list. The United States recognized Maduro’s opponent, Edmundo González, as the rightful leader of Venezuela after the Maduro regime appeared to rig the 2024 election to keep the socialist leader in power. González was forced to flee to Spain after Venezuelan authorities announced that Maduro had won the election. On August 18, three U.S. guided-missile destroyers headed to the Southern Caribbean near the Venezuelan coast, and a U.S. official told Reuters that around 4,000 sailors and Marines were also expected to be deployed to the region as part of Trump’s crackdown on drug cartels. The president has made it a priority to stop the flow of deadly drugs, such as fentanyl, into the United States and take on drug cartels and criminal gangs — both inside and outside of the country. Trump said during his joint address to Congress in March that “the cartels are waging war on America, and it’s time for America to wage war on the cartels.” The Trump administration also worked out deals with Mexico to bring incarcerated drug lords to U.S. soil, where they can face charges. Last week, former drug lord El Mayo — a co-founder of the powerful Mexican Sinaloa cartel — pleaded guilty to racketeering. “Thanks to the relentless work of our prosecutors and our federal agents, El Mayo will spend the rest of his life behind bars. He will die in a U.S. federal prison where he belongs,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said. “His guilty plea brings us one step closer to achieving our goal of the elimination of the drug cartels and the transnational criminal organizations throughout this world that are flooding our country with drugs and human traffickers and homicides.” While the United States has successfully extradited former drug lords from Mexico, the Mexican government opposes the United States deploying any troops to the country. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said last month, “That is ruled out, absolutely ruled out. It is not part of any agreement, far from it. When it has been brought up, we have always said no.”

Chicago’s mayor leads protests against President Trump’s potential crime crackdown as judges block the deportation of illegal immigrants. India cozies up to China and Russia at a summit in Beijing, a major foreign policy challenge for the Trump administration as a federal court strikes down his tariffs. The FDA moves to ban a potent, opioid-like substance called 7-OH that is being sold in gas stations and marketed to kids.

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: Chicago Mayor Fights Trump Crime Crackdown Topline: Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is leading protests against President Trump’s potential federal crime crackdown in his city, while Democrat-appointed judges are blocking the administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants. After President Trump signaled that Chicago would be the next target of a federal crime crackdown similar to the one in Washington, D.C., Mayor Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker have threatened non-cooperation and legal action. Pritzker called a potential deployment of the National Guard an “invasion,” and Johnson has preemptively ordered Chicago police not to cooperate with any federal law enforcement. The moves have drawn criticism from some local Democrats who argue the city should be coordinating with the federal government to reduce crime. Meanwhile, the administration’s deportation efforts are being stalled in the courts. On Sunday, a Biden-appointed judge blocked the deportation of 76 Guatemalan children. Last week, an Obama-appointed judge halted the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a clip of a recent CBS News interview, noting that the network edited out the serious allegations against Abrego Garcia, including that he is a “known human smuggler” and a “wife beater” who “solicited nude photos from minors.” India Tilts Toward China, Russia as Court Strikes Down Trump Tariffs Topline: In a major foreign policy challenge for the Trump administration, India’s Prime Minister joined the leaders of China and Russia for a summit in Beijing, signaling a potential realignment as a U.S. federal court struck down many of President Trump’s global tariffs. This week, Chinese President Xi Jinping is hosting a summit with leaders from across Asia and the Middle East. A rare public display of unity between Xi, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is setting off “alarm bells in Washington.” The move is seen as a direct response to Trump’s 50% tariffs on Indian goods and signals that India is willing to work with U.S. adversaries if its relationship with Washington deteriorates. The summit comes as a federal appeals court dealt a major blow to Trump’s signature trade policy. On Friday, the court ruled that the president was not justified in using emergency powers to unilaterally impose his global tariffs. Trump responded over the weekend, warning, “More than 15 Trillion Dollars will be invested in the USA… If a Radical Left Court is allowed to terminate these Tariffs, almost all of this investment… will be immediately cancelled!” The ruling allows the tariffs to remain in effect until at least October, giving the Supreme Court time to potentially hear the case. FDA Moves to Ban Opioid-Like ‘Kratom’ Product Topline: The FDA is taking emergency action to ban 7-OH, a potent, opioid-like substance derived from the kratom plant that is being sold in gas stations and vape shops and aggressively marketed to children. The FDA has recommended that 7-OH be classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, which would make it illegal to sell or possess. The agency says the compound is an opioid, up to 13 times more potent than morphine, and carries significant health risks, including addiction and overdose. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary issued a stark warning that the substance “may be the fourth wave of the opioid epidemic.” The products are sold in forms that are appealing to kids, such as fruit-flavored gummies, vapes, and even ice cream cones, often without clear or accurate labeling. There is currently no federal age restriction on the products. The move to ban the substance comes after a number of anecdotal reports of addiction and death, including a Georgia two-year-old who had to be revived with Narcan after accidentally ingesting a 7-OH product marketed as an “energy pill.” Several states, led by Florida and Ohio, are also moving to ban or restrict the substance.

Would you take time out of your day to wish goodwill to a bunch of strangers? Tip King is an old-school and totally wholesome farmer, and he did just that. While driving his tractor down the road, he noticed a beautiful sight and stopped to enjoy and share it. The thing that caught his attention was the vibrant yellow in a field of sunflowers. @tipking470 ♬ original sound – Tip Looking gruff and serious, Tip is off his tractor and standing in the road. He opens by saying, “Good Morning, TikTok.” He explains that he was driving down the road when he “noticed how the sunflowers are really bright this morning. Thought, maybe it would brighten somebody’s day.” At that point, he turns the camera and pans it slowly across the huge sunflower field, then back again. He explains that the flowers always turn toward the morning sun. The camera turns back to focus on Tip as he says, “Well, have a great day.” It doesn’t get any more wholesome than this farmer. Image from TikTok. Sunflowers are an amazing plant. They were originally cultivated as a food source when early Americans ground the seeds into a flour. The seeds have always been a special treat. We extract the oil for cooking, and the stalks have even been used as building materials. The flower gets its name from the habit of young flowers to turn toward, and follow, the sun. Although yellow sunflowers are the most common, there are also red, orange, white, pink, and purple sunflowers. Sunflowers hold spiritual significance for many cultures. There are unique interpretations of their properties. The one common factor is that every culture views them as beneficial. Please share if this field of yellow sunflowers made you smile.
