President Donald Trump posted a video on Tuesday of a United States military strike against Tren de Aragua drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea.
The strike took place in international waters and killed nearly a dozen terrorist cartel members carrying illicit drugs, Trump said. A video of the strike showed a small boat motoring through water before bursting into flame.
“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
“TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere,” he added. “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.”
“The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” Trump concluded. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!”

The president <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-deploys-forces-to-take-on-latin-american-drug-cartels-in-the-southern-caribbean">ordered</a> U.S. military assets to the south Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela last month to counter drug cartels, which his administration has classified as foreign terrorist organizations. The president has ratcheted up pressure on Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who the United States has targeted as a top cartel official.
In August, the United States <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-hikes-bounty-on-venezuelas-maduro-to-50m">doubled</a> its bounty on information leading to Maduro’s arrest from $25 million to $50 million.
“Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“The DOJ has seized over $700 million of Maduro-linked assets, including two private jets, nine vehicles, and more,” she added. “Yet, Maduro’s reign of terror continues. He is one of the largest narco traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security.”

U.S. Drone Strikes Cartel Drug Boat, Trump Posts Video For World To See: ‘BEWARE!’

The Republican-led House Oversight Committee released tens of thousands of documents related to the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday.
The Department of Justice provided the <a href="https://oversight.house.gov/release/oversight-committee-releases-epstein-records-provided-by-the-department-of-justice/">records</a> under subpoena from committee chairman James Comer of Kentucky. The document dump consisted of 33,295 pages.
Speaking to reporters following the release, Comer <a href="https://x.com/Breaking911/status/1963011925358608801">said</a> that the committee continues to expand its investigation into notable figures, such as former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who, as a prosecutor, negotiated a controversial plea deal with Epstein in 2008. The committee is working on releasing other records, as well.
“We&#8217;re gonna continue to bring in more people. We learned of some additional names today,” said Comer. “We&#8217;re gonna do everything we can to give the American public the transparency they seek, as well as provide accountability in memory of the victims who have already passed away, as well as those that were in the room, and many others who haven&#8217;t come forward.”
Comer thanked the White House for working with House lawmakers to make the documents available for release.
“The White House is working with us. I wanna publicly thank the White House for turning over so many documents thus far,” said Comer.
The committee has subpoenaed a number of high-profile figures already, including former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Comer <a href="https://x.com/DailyCaller/status/1962989269351309574">added</a> that the committee plans to subpoena Epstein’s madam Ghislaine Maxwell, as well.
The Department of Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ghislaine-maxwell-reveals-whether-she-believes-epstein-committed-suicide">interviewed</a> Maxwell and released the tapes of that interview last month. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche conducted the interview, and Maxwell’s testimony backs up some of what the Justice Department has said about Epstein’s case, such as the lack of an Epstein “client list.”
Maxwell also told Blanche that she never saw any man, including President Donald Trump nor Clinton, behave inappropriately around Epstein.
“I never, ever saw any man doing something inappropriate with a woman of any age. I never saw inappropriate habits,” Maxwell told Blanche. “Now somebody’s inappropriate and mine may be different.”
“Trump was always very cordial and very kind to me,” she added. “And I just want to say that I find — I — I admire his extraordinary achievement in becoming the president now. And I like him, and I’ve always liked him. So that is the sum and substance of my entire relationship with him.”

Republican-Led Oversight Committee Drops Massive Trove Of Over 33,000 Epstein Docs

CBS News edited an interview with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to “whitewash” the criminal background of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, according to Noem.
Noem appeared on CBS’s “Face The Nation” on Sunday and defended the Trump administration’s efforts to deport Abrego Garcia, who is currently challenging his planned removal to Uganda.
The Homeland Security Secretary said that Abrego Garcia, who is in the United States illegally, committed crimes against children and his wife, but when her interview aired on CBS News, the network had cut out the part in which Noem had talked specifically about the accusations that Abrego Garcia is facing.
“And the one thing that we will continue to do is to make sure that he doesn&#8217;t walk free in the United States of America,” Noem said in a clip that aired on Face The Nation.
The edit cut short Noem’s response, which continued on for nearly 30 more seconds.
“This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors,” Noem had continued in a clip that never made it to air, but that Noem later posted on social media.
“Even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children,” said Noem. “He needs to never be in the United States of America, and our administration is making sure we’re doing all that we can to bring him to justice.”
Noem said that the network “shamefully edited” her interview to “whitewash” Abrego Garcia.
“This morning, I joined CBS to report the facts about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Instead, CBS shamefully edited the interview to whitewash the truth about this MS-13 gang member and the threat he poses to American public safety,” she wrote in a post on X.

The Department of Homeland Security moved earlier this month to deport Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, to Uganda after a court order prevented his deportation back to his home country.
Last week, U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, put the deportation on hold until Xinis can hold an evidentiary hearing on a lawsuit Abrego Garcia filed challenging his deportation to Uganda. Xinis had previously ordered the Trump administration to “take all available steps to facilitate the return” of Abrego Garcia to the United States after he was sent to El Salvador.

CBS News ‘Shamefully Edited’ Interview To ‘Whitewash’ Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s Background, Noem Says

Right-wing parties are simultaneously leading polls across Europe’s biggest economies in a first for the continent’s nationalist and populist movements.
In France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, known together as Europe’s “Big Three,” right-wing parties have surged in popularity on angst over lax immigration policies and high inflation, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/right-wing-europe-dd4f1156?mod=hp_lead_pos10">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
The National Rally has led polls in France consistently for the past year, and National Rally’s presidential candidate would likely win the first round of voting. National Rally is led by Jordan Bardella, who took over the party after Marine Le Pen.
National Rally is already the largest single party in France’s National Assembly.
Reform UK, the newly founded British party led by Nigel Farage, has overtaken the ruling Labour Party in polls within the last six months. Farage founded the party partly out of frustration with the Conservative Party, which has dueled the Labour Party for control of government over the past century. Farage launched Reform after accusing Conservatives of abandoning their voters.
In Germany, Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has edged ahead of the ruling centrist Christian Democratic Union.
France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, like the rest of Europe, have experienced a period of high inflation after pandemic-era spending binges led to aggressively rising prices, which have left many goods at significantly higher price points than they were five years ago. Europe has also lagged behind the United States in economic growth, which could offset the impact of those higher prices.
The governments of the Big Three have also faced increasing grassroots pressure over permissive immigration policies.
In France, citizens have reacted against the country’s growing Muslim population which many see as a threat to French values. The slogan “Let’s block everything” has <a href="https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/block-everything-france-braces-for-a-september-in-flames/">grown</a> popular on social media in France in reaction to unsustainable spending, in part on immigration that has little direct benefit for French citizens, that has led to austerity measures.
In Germany and the United Kingdom, both countries have experienced record waves of immigration in recent years. Germany’s foreign-born population has surged from 15% of its total population in 2017 to 22% last year.
The United Kingdom has seen raw immigration numbers comparable to the surge that swamped the United States immigration system under Biden within the same time frame. Unlike the United States, however, the United Kingdom’s population is about a fifth the size of the United States’.
Europe’s immigration policies have received attention and criticism from the United States, from high-profile figures such as Elon Musk to top officials in the White House.
“[G]overnment that puts foreigners above their own people is, by definition, TREASONOUS and ILLEGITIMATE!” Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1962212945233895500">posted</a> on X on Sunday. “The people of Britain deserve a government that represents their interests, not those of shadowy foreign organizations!”
Musk has also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-backs-right-wing-german-party-after-christmas-terror-attack-the-only-hope-for-germany">voiced</a> support for AfD in Germany, while the Trump administration has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/european-nations-grapple-with-growing-free-speech-problem-under-trumps-gaze">criticized</a> European officials for restricting free speech across the continent, often to avoid upsetting foreign populations that have swelled within its borders, such as in Germany and the U.K.

Right-Wing Parties Are Surging In Popularity Across Europe’s Biggest Players

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he will sign an executive order mandating voter I.D. for “Every Single Vote.”
Trump posted to Truth Social on Saturday evening that his executive order on voter I.D. would have “NO EXCEPTIONS!” He added that he would also take action to stop most voting by mail.
“Voter I.D. Must Be Part of Every Single Vote. NO EXCEPTIONS! I Will Be Doing An Executive Order To That End!!! Also, No Mail-In Voting, Except For Those That Are Very Ill, And The Far Away Military. USE PAPER BALLOTS ONLY!!!” the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115120863399877029">posted</a>.
Thirty-six states currently <a href="https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_identification_laws_by_state">require</a> some form of identification to be presented when voting, although the specific requirements vary by state. Of those 36, 25 require a photo ID, while the other 11 do not specifically require photo identification. The remaining 14 states – which include deep-blue states such as California, Illinois, and New York – do not require identification to vote on Election Day.
Trump earlier this month <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115049485680941254">agitated</a> against mail-in voting, promising to “lead a movement” to ban it. He also railed against “Highly ‘Inaccurate,’ Very Expensive, and Seriously Controversial VOTING MACHINES” in an August 18 post on his social media site, Truth.
“We are now the only Country in the World that uses Mail-In Voting. All others gave it up because of the MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD ENCOUNTERED,” he wrote at the time. “WE WILL BEGIN THIS EFFORT, WHICH WILL BE STRONGLY OPPOSED BY THE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THEY CHEAT AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, by signing an EXECUTIVE ORDER to help bring HONESTY to the 2026 Midterm Elections.”
The president said that Democrats are “virtually Unelectable” without mail-in voting.
“ELECTIONS CAN NEVER BE HONEST WITH MAIL IN BALLOTS/VOTING, and everybody, IN PARTICULAR THE DEMOCRATS, KNOWS THIS,” he wrote.
In the 2024 election, roughly 30% of votes were cast by mail, according to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. Most votes were cast in person, either during early voting or on the day of the election.
“The majority of voters in the 2024 general election cast their ballots in person, with 35.2% voting in person before Election Day and 37.4% voting in person on Election Day,” the commission wrote in a <a href="https://www.eac.gov/sites/default/files/2025-07/2024_EAVS_Report_508.pdf">report</a> on the 2024 election. “Mail voting comprised 30.3% of the turnout for the 2024 election, which is down from the high water mark for mail voting seen in 2020 (43%) but still larger than the percentage of the electorate that voted by mail in pre-pandemic elections.”

Donald Trump Promises To Sign Order Mandating Voter I.D.: ‘NO EXCEPTIONS!’

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was seriously injured after a car accident in New Hampshire on Saturday night.
A spokesman for Giuliani said the 81-year-old was taken to a nearby trauma center with a fractured vertebrae and multiple cuts and bruises, including injuries to his left arm and lower leg. The spokesman said the accident occurred after Giuliani aided a woman who was a victim of domestic violence.
“Prior to the incident, Mayor Giuliani was flagged down by a woman who was the victim of a domestic violence incident. Mayor Giuliani immediately rendered assistance and contacted 911. He remained on scene until responding officers arrived to ensure her safety,” said Michael Ragusa, head of security for the former mayor. “Following this, while traveling on the highway, Mayor Giuliani&#8217;s vehicle was struck from behind at high speed.”
“This was not a targeted attack. We ask everyone to respect Mayor Giuliani’s privacy and recovery, and refrain from spreading unfounded conspiracy theories,” Ragusa added in a post on X.
The mayor is recovering in the hospital. His care is in part being overseen by his business partner, Maria Ryan, who is also a nurse. Ryan said that Giuliani is receiving further tests on his injuries.

Ragusa added that “the mayor is in great spirits. He’s a beast. He survived 9/11,” according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/08/31/us-news/rudy-giuliani-hurt-in-car-wreck-after-helping-domestic-violence-victim-spokesman/">New York Post</a>.
Giuliani, who is known as “America’s mayor,’’ served as mayor of New York City from 1994 through 2001 when, on September 11, al-Qaeda terrorists crashed two passenger airliners into the Twin Towers as part of a larger terrorist attack on the United States. Giuliani’s leadership after the attack and his tough-on-crime policies in the 90s defined the mayor’s time leading New York City.
