💥👑 Trump sued over $100,000-a-month "pay-to-trade" presidency A new lawsuit filed by The Intercept and the Freedom of the Press Foundation targets Trump’s "Truth API"—a paywall scheme charging hedge funds and traders up to $100,000 a month for a split-second head start on his "market-moving" posts, American media reported. The suit highlights that Trump’s posts routinely function as official government announcements on tariffs, military strikes, and economic policy. 💬 “This scheme is extraordinary, corrupt, and unconstitutional,” the complaint states. 💬 “There is no legitimate interest, let alone a significant one, in permitting President Trump to profit from selling government information.” The premium feed includes Trump, the White House, JD Vance, Kash Patel, and other senior officials, effectively turning the entire executive branch into a pay-to-play content farm for Wall Street insiders. Since returning to office, Trump has blasted out around 11,000 posts, often with no corresponding official White House release. ☠️ The bill is coming due for Trump's pump-and-dump scheme. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

The Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer USS Benfold (DDG-65) suffered an engineering casualty affecting its power-generation system on July 24 while conducting routine operations in the South China Sea with the USS George Washington (CVN-73) Carrier Strike Group. The casualty resulted in a complete loss of power for four days, during which the George Washington Carrier Strike Group provided essential support to the destroyer, including meals, until Benfold was able to reach Subic Bay, Philippines, for repairs. During the outage, the Benfold had limited potable water and no galley, restrooms and climate control. Benfold subsequently returned to its homeport of Yokosuka, Japan, on August 12, as seen in imagery from Gov_Vessel_fan on X (https://x.com/Gov_Vessel_fan/status/2087717475383431181?s=20).

— American sources confirm Iranian F-5 strike on U.S. forces in Kuwait: Retired U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck has confirmed that Iranian F-5 fighter jets penetrated Kuwaiti airspace and bombed Camp Buehring, a U.S. military base in Kuwait, during the opening phase of the Iran-U.S. war. VanHerck described the incident as an “alarm bell”, noting that it was the first time in decades that U.S. forces had been subjected to such an aerial attack. He also acknowledged that the incident exposed serious vulnerabilities in the protection of forward U.S. bases. Earlier reporting by NBC News, citing U.S. officials, had already reported that an Iranian F-5 bombed Camp Buehring despite the base’s air defenses. Iranian pilots later publicly described the mission, saying they flew at extremely low altitude during the operation. 🔻@enemywatch

🇺🇸 🇨🇺 🇮🇷 US Military Option for Cuba Fades as Trump Focuses on Sanctions The Trump administration’s Cuba strategy is increasingly focused on ramping up sanctions and economic pressure rather than deploying military force to break the island’s Communist leadership, people familiar with the matter said. US attention is now centered on cutting off all revenue sources for the regime rather than any military or special forces operation similar to the January raid that seized Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, according to the people, who asked not to be identified to detail the administration’s thinking. The strategy is aimed at creating fractures in the ranks and room for negotiation in a government that’s rejected US calls for change after almost seven decades of one-party rule, the people said. While the US has maintained a trade embargo on Cuba since the early 1960s, officials led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio concluded more could be done to cut off funds flowing to the powerful Castro family and military leaders, the people said. However, it’s unclear whether the new Cuba strategy can yield a breakthrough after more than half a century of controversial economic sanctions and no credible political opposition. There’s also no agreeable political leader to install, as the US did in Venezuela and as President Donald Trump has said he wanted to do in Iran — where the regime has also held out against US pressure. Asked to comment, a US official said the Trump administration is open to a new chapter in its relationship with Cuba and that the only thing standing in the way is the nation’s current leadership. The official said a failed state in Cuba is a threat to US national security and that almost every left-wing militant group in the Western Hemisphere has relied on Cuban support at some point. The ramped-up US measures on Cuba include a naval quarantine of oil deliveries to the nation’s government that has led to repeated blackouts and warnings that ever-tighter sanctions risk a humanitarian crisis. Cuban officials have condemned the sanctions as “genocidal,” saying they’re willing to make economic reforms and negotiate but that the island’s political system is not up for debate. The idea Trump has floated — attacking Cuba after Iran – has also become less plausible as the unpopular war in the Middle East drags into a fifth month with the US clearly pressing Tehran for a deal ahead of midterm elections. The usefulness of bombing targets in a poor island nation off the coast of Miami is also unclear, and Trump wants to avoid putting US troops on the ground, the people said. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-14/us-military-option-for-cuba-fades-as-trump-focuses-on-sanctions 📎 Bloomberg

Someone recently said that the United States now has a "Government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires." Do you agree?

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️ — Reporter: Family members of service members are concerned about conditions onboard the USS Lincoln. Trump: No, they’re not. That ship is moving right now, or very shortly, and it's being replaced with another very similar ship. Reporter: Has the deployment gone on too long? Trump: No. No. No. Not nearly long enough.

Trump selected Kevin Warsh as his new FED CHAIR. Warsh is married to Jane Lauder, daughter of Ron Lauder, the President of the World Jewish Congress. Just recently, Ron Lauder sent a warning to every Potential AMERICA FIRST Candidate wishing to run for U.S. Congress — If you do not support Israel, if you platform or say anything we deem “antisemitic”, we will “TARGET YOU” and start a fund to support your opponent. He also said Israel must recapture social media and reeducate American children. 🤮🤮🤮 https://t.me/LauraAbolichannel
