Tuesday Tacos... The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

I struggled to keep a job. I started using my GI Bill for nursing school, just to end up too depressed to continue. I felt, and sometimes still do, like any day now I’ll just wake up back on the ship. After a year or so, I couldn’t take it. I tried VA. The first psychiatrist I saw diagnosed me with PTSD like it was the common cold, dismissing me with an Ambien prescription. It helped, but I was afraid of becoming dependent, so I never refilled it. Other therapists were quick to push religion, which doesn’t align with me. Aside from that, their help was mostly handouts and suggestions for activities like equine therapy.

When aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN-68) chops into U.S. Central Command in the coming days, it will be the fifth carrier to operate in the Middle East since the U.S. resumed deployments to the region in late 2023.

Base Housing U.S. Troops in Iraq Also Attacked The Ain al-Assad base housing U.S. troops in western Iraq was also targeted, an Iraqi security official who was not authorized to comment publicly told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. But Iran did not claim credit for that attack, which could have been carried out by militias. It was not immediately clear if there was damage to the Iraq base or any injuries.

Al Udeid Air Base

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iran launched missile attacks Monday on a U.S. military base in Qatar, retaliating for the American bombing of its nuclear sites and escalating tensions in the volatile region.

The Department of Defense has revealed new video footage of another aircraft encounter. They describe the object as a massive "disc-shaped UAP" with an abnormal heat signature weaving through the clouds and changing directions in a way that cannot be explained.

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Marine Corps veteran Adrian Clouatre doesn't know how to tell his children where their mother went after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained her last month. When his nearly 2-year-old son Noah asks for his mother before bed, Clouatre just tells him, “Mama will be back soon.” When his 3-month-old, breastfeeding daughter Lyn is hungry, he gives her a bottle of baby formula instead. He’s worried how his newborn will bond with her mother absent skin-to-skin contact.

Narciso Barranco, the 48-year-old landscaper who was seized off the street, has three sons who are U.S. Marines, including two on active duty, the oldest son, 25-year-old Alejandro Barranco, said in an interview on Sunday.

The United States carried out a middle–of-the-night attack using decoys and deception that completely “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared. But Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine immediately undercut this, telling reporters that while an initial assessment indicated “severe damage and destruction,” it would take time for the final battle damage to be known.

Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is having a moment. The rising Democratic star sits down with Katie for a candid, no-holds-barred conversation about what drives her, what frustrates her, and why she refuses to play by the old political rules. From her viral moments on Capitol Hill to the serious challenges facing democracy, Crockett shares what’s on her mind and why this moment demands leaders who won’t back down.

trump said Saturday that the U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel ’s effort to decapitate the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict. There was no immediate acknowledgment from Iran

Some believe UFOs are nothing but figments of people’s imaginations, or at best atmospheric ilusions; others think they are earthly secret technology; while some are convinced that these unidentified craft are of alien origin (or at least reverse-engineered alien tech). But whatever these objects may be, the unidentified aerial phenomenon is a reality, and public interest in the matter does not seem to wane.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Saturday, as President Donald Trump weighs whether the United States should take part in Israel's strikes against Iran.

Over the years, Trump has promised action on policy issues from tax legislation to minimum wage increases to health care within two weeks. He's hinted at conspiracy theories to be resolved and policy decisions to be revealed within a fortnight — only for his announcements to materialize months later or not at all.

Donald Trump is sidestepping his own defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, while seeking advice on whether to launch a military strike against Iran, according to a report. An unnamed U.S. official told The Washington Post that the president is instead turning to a couple of four-star generals for guidance on whether to join Israel in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities, with the head of the Pentagon being largely left out. “Nobody is talking to Hegseth,” the official said. “There is no interface operationally between Hegseth and the White House at all.”

trump making statements that are other than the truth - once again... “PM Modi clearly told President Trump that during this entire incident, at no time, at any level, were there any talks on issues like India-U.S. trade deal or mediation between India and Pakistan through America,” Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri announced in a video statement.

Michael Fransen, 26, was arrested Sunday and charged with two counts of aggravated child molestation and two counts of aggravated forcible sodomy involving children under age 10, Kingsland police said.
