Situation on Aleppo [9/1/2026]: [11:00 AM] During the early... hours of the morning, the STG continued to advance and secure areas previously evacuated by Asayish forces: in the north, trenches were taken west of the Youth Housing Complex, as well as in the Barakah Quarries, where another series of trenches and new blocks were taken in the Resafa district, as well as the last blocks of the Al Layramoun Industrial district to the west. In the south, the New Syriac district was completely taken and the area was expanded beyond the Assyrian Quarter district after entering the cemetery area and capturing the Al-Jalaa Sports Club. Meanwhile, from the east, the assault on the Sheikh Maqsud district began and the first blocks of the Awared neighborhood were entered. All these advances took place prior to the start of a ceasefire brokered by the US and France, in which the Damascus authorities issued a new ultimatum for the surrender of the enclave in exchange for the evacuation of the inhabitants and Asayish soldiers. Despite the arrival of a convoy of buses in the morning, the Asayish rejected the evacuation and declared their commitment to continue defending the inhabitants of the enclave, given the danger of a new massacre similar to those on the Syrian coast or in Suwayda. Meanwhile, in the east of the Euphrates, a general mobilization has begun in solidarity with the besieged troops, in anticipation of the fighting spreading to the rest of the territory under SDF control.

🚨Tragedy in Dadyal: One Killed, 14 Injured in Firing... by Pakistani Rangers DADYAL, Pakistan-administered Kashmir – Tensions escalated sharply in the Dadyal area of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) on 5th July 2026 as Pakistani Rangers opened fire on protesters, resulting in at least one fatality and leaving 14 others injured. According to local sources, the security forces, including personnel from the Punjab Rangers, used AK-47 rifles and tear gas shells to disperse the crowd. The incident occurred during what witnesses describe as a protest in the region. The deceased has been identified as Mohammad Yaqub. The condition of the injured individuals remains unconfirmed at this time, and authorities have yet to issue an official statement regarding the circumstances that led to the use of live ammunition. The situation in Dadyal remains tense as residents react to the violence. Further details are awaited.show more

Two flags. 🇮🇱 🇺🇸 No allies. Every casualty, every... dollar, every body bag — theirs alone. Caesar built an empire through alliances. Alexander never fought alone. The Mongols, the most devastating military force in human history, conquered half the world by absorbing the peoples they defeated, turning enemies into soldiers. Napoleon, at his most arrogant, understood that coalitions win wars. The Allies didn’t just defeat Hitler, they buried him under the combined weight of dozens of nations, the largest military coalition ever assembled. Even the Gulf War, the last time America looked invincible, was a 35-nation effort. Trump has managed what none of them ever did: cleared the room entirely. History doesn’t remember the general who went it alone. It remembers why he lost. And when you’ve spent years insulting everyone willing to help you, the phone doesn’t ring. It just sits there. Quietly. Gandalv / Gandalvshow more

"A new UN report says Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa... is ISIS “primary target” for assassination." That’s a blatant lie! UN sold out his principles for money. It is an open secret that this is a lie. Jolani’s origins are with ISIS, and his current forces are teeming with their fighters. Over the last fortnight, after the Kurds—who crushed ISIS—engaged in combat, Jolani intervened to free thousands of ISIS terrorists. Just two months ago, a militant from Jolani’s ranks assassinated two U.S. soldiers and an interpreter during an initial meeting with the U.S. Today, ISIS flags and extremist doctrines are normalized in schools and public squares, while the UN remains silent on the specific locations where the first and second ISIS leaders were eliminated. The two top ISIS "Caliphs" killed by U.S. forces in areas under the control of Jolani (HTS) and near the Turkish border are: 1-Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi (October 2019): The founder of ISIS was killed during a U.S. Special Forces raid in the village of Barisha, Idlib. This location was only a few kilometers from the Turkish border. The Syrian Kurdish forces (SDF) provided the critical intelligence that led to his discovery. 2-Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi (February 2022): The second leader of ISIS was killed in a similar U.S. operation in the town of Atmeh, Idlib. Like Baghdadi, he was hiding in a territory controlled by Jolani’s forces and situated right on the border with Turkey. The Key Controversy: Both leaders were found hiding in Idlib, a region under the strict control of Abu Mohammad al-Jolani and monitored by Turkish military posts. This has led many to question how the world's most wanted terrorists could hide in such a small, controlled area without the knowledge or protection of local authorities and regional powers. Finally, it seems the person who wrote this report is the same UN employee filmed in that car having sex with his colleague. 😏show more

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Hamas has reportedly informed... Israeli officials that it currently holds 20 living hostages and is prepared to begin their release today under the terms of the new ceasefire agreement brokered by Trump. 2.⁠ Aid convoys entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing, with queues of lorries moving into the territory. Under the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, "full aid" is expected to scale up immediately. Israel’s COGAT says 500 trucks have entered Gaza so far, with 300 distributed by the UN and aid groups. 3.⁠ Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he’s instructed the IDF to prepare for the total demolition of Hamas’s tunnel network in Gaza. He calls it Israel’s “major challenge” post-hostage phase, to be done both militarily and via an international mechanism led by the U.S. 4.⁠ A Taliban government spokesperson said fighting with Pakistan has stopped following mediation efforts requested by Qatar. It comes after a night of heavy cross-border warfare that saw the Taliban claim 58 Pakistani soldiers were killed, 30 wounded, and 3 border posts captured. 5.⁠ The U.S has been quietly helping Ukraine hit deep inside Russia, targeting oil refineries and energy infrastructure in a covert campaign to cripple Putin’s war economy. U.S intel guided Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes, enabling hits on at least 16 of Russia’s 38 refineries, disrupting over 1 million barrels/day of capacity. 6.⁠ Trump’s visit to Israel tomorrow will be the briefest trip by a U.S president to Israel in history, with Trump staying just 3 hours and 40 minutes. He won’t meet freed hostages - medical concerns cited - and won’t visit the Western Wall, departing in the afternoon for a Gaza summit in Egypt. 7.⁠ Madagascar’s President Andry Rajoelina said an “illegal and forceful attempt to seize power” is underway, as soldiers refused orders to shoot protesters and joined a youth-led uprising in Antananarivo. 8.⁠ Torrential rains have triggered catastrophic flooding across 5 Mexican states, claiming at least 42 lives. Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, Queretaro, and San Luis Potosi have suffered massive destruction, with entire communities cut off and thousands without power. 9.⁠ Venezuela’s leader Nicolás Maduro kicked off a bunch of military drills in 8 states, claiming it’s all about “defending the homeland,” as the U.S. Navy flexes off the coast and fears of an imminent invasion heighten. 10.⁠ A helicopter crashed in Huntington Beac, California, near the Cars ‘n Copters on the Coast event site. Officials say 2 people were inside the aircraft and 3 bystanders were also hurt when it went down by the Waterfront Beach Resort.show more

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦 For Russia, the situation on the front is... becoming critically difficult, signaling a potential Ukrainian breakthrough in the near future that could completely collapse Russia's defensive fortifications in the south. Rybar, one of the most authoritative military bloggers close to the Russian Ministry of Defense, is shouting about this hysterically: The situation in the southern regions of Russia is taking on an increasingly alarming character. Since the beginning of May, Ukrainian formations have significantly increased the number of drone strikes on transport vehicles delivering various goods to the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts, as well as Crimea. The threat of a shortage of certain goods has emerged on the peninsula, and fuel is being sold with restrictions. The threat concerns not only the disruption of the holiday season in Crimea or shortages of individual products. Strikes on cargo carriers on the peninsula directly impact the combat capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces on the southern fronts, where the situation is already unstable. 🔻 What is happening on the front? ➡️ In the Kamenske direction, the enemy has been active for a long time and managed to advance in several sectors, forcing Russian forces to retreat: Stepnohirsk has been lost, and Plavni is nearly lost, along with practically all territorial gains achieved by the Russian Armed Forces during the offensive that began in early 2025. ➡️ There is a risk that the enemy will not only restore the status quo but will transition to an offensive themselves on the Kamenske-Shcherbaky line. Indirect signs indicate that attention has already been paid to the problems in this sector, but the situation remains difficult. ➡️ The activity of Ukrainian drone operators has significantly increased regarding strikes on Kamianka-Dniprovska, Vodiane, and Enerhodar. Local channels publish reports every 20–30 minutes about drone attacks on the city, the number of which reaches dozens. There are casualties and injuries among the civilian population. Among the targets are also employees of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, which was officially confirmed by the station's resources. ➡️ This could indicate preparation by the enemy for, if not a full-scale landing, at least a diversionary attack through the reed beds located on the bottom of the former Kakhovka Reservoir. Allowing the loss of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is unacceptable — dislodging even small groups from there will be extremely difficult. Furthermore, the Russian Armed Forces will be significantly restricted in strike assets, as the Zaporizhzhia NPP is not a facility that is advisable to bomb with aviation. ❗️ Given that Ukrainian formations have already partially paralyzed Russia's logistics in the land corridor toward Crimea, it is not difficult to imagine what will happen if the Armed Forces of Ukraine break through Russia's defenses on the Kamenske-Shcherbaky line. 📌 The Russian Armed Forces will have to redeploy additional forces to the Vasylivka direction, the routes to which are already frequently targeted by enemy strikes. In the worst-case scenario, stabilizing the situation will require transferring additional forces to the Tokmak direction, and further to Berdiansk and Mariupol. It is on these roads that the delivery of civilian cargo is already seriously disrupted. ❓ What can be done? The issue of organizing "small sky" air defense is already understood and studied, and it has been mentioned at the highest level. The skyrocketing increase in strikes after the May holidays is clearly visible, though the roads were not safe before that either. It was in early May that the Armed Forces of Ukraine began testing Hornet-type systems, and already after the ceasefire, they started mass usage, leaving no opportunity for a pause to devise tactics.

Report on Recently Abducted Alawite Women in 2026 This... report was prepared by Syria Justice Archive Syria Justice Archive following contact with a group of human rights activists, the families of the girls, and community sources. 1. Mariam Faez Sultan, Age 16 Abducted on January 9, 2026, in the Mezzeh area of Damascus (she lives in the Mezzeh 86 neighborhood, which has an Alawite majority, within the broader Mezzeh district). After contact with her family, her father confirmed she had been abducted. Strangely, he offered thanks and praise to the “General Security” after learning that the caller belonged to a team working with the UN Office of Investigations. Nevertheless, as of the writing of this report, March 8, 2026, the girl remains abducted. 2.Lana Al-Suleiman, Age 18 Abducted on March 1, 2026, in the Burj Al-Ghanum area in the city of Masyaf, Hama countryside. She was released two days later on March 3, 2026, and was compelled to appear in an interview stating she had not been abducted and had simply been at a friend’s house. It should be noted that our team and most documentation pages recently chose not to publish abduction cases, and that the girl appeared in posts on Facebook from her local area indicating she had been missing, yet none of the posts mentioned abduction. We were unable to contact her family. 3. Layal Ibrahim Abdullah, Age 25, Married Abducted on February 22, 2026, while traveling by public transport from the town of Slunfeh toward the city of Latakia to visit a doctor for a previously scheduled appointment. All hospitals were checked; she was not found. Layal was released on February 27, 2026. A documentation team contacted her family, who confirmed she had been held for four days, but refused to provide details, saying: “What matters is that she came back.” 4. Alma Elia Saleh, Age 14 Abducted at Karsana Square in the city of Latakia on March 4, 2026. After contact with her family, her mother was in a state of breakdown and confirmed that her daughter was missing, adding that they had filed a report with security forces. The girl was released one day later on March 5, 2026. Unofficial sources reported that the Coastal Police Station arrested the abductor and secured the girl’s release. 🔹Our sources confirmed that following a visit by the UN Investigation Team to Damascus, during which files on kidnapped Alawite women since 2025 were presented, the HTS-led General Security is now pressuring abductors to release the girls within days. This marks a shift from the previous pattern of denying abductions and shielding perpetrators. In several instances, units of the General Security or HTS factions were themselves involved in the abductions, as in the case of Abeer Suleiman from 2025 (cited as one example among others), who has not been released to this day. At the time of her abduction, General Security personnel in the city of #Safita contacted the abductors in Idlib to warn them that her family had filed a complaint — less than half an hour after her father and brother had done so. Over the past year and continuing to the present, dozens of Alawite women abducted since 2025 remain unreleased. The total number of abduction cases from 2025 exceeds 80 documented cases. One case from 2026 (Mariam Sultan) also remains unresolved. All cases are fully documented.show more

While Trump bs’s the world on his scripted fall... out with Israel, the U.S. military is carrying on with its construction of a base near Gaza while Israel controls over 50% of Gaza! Check out the details: This $500 million base will house up to 10,000 terror forces they say is part of a stabilization force on 350 acres of Palestinian land. There will be 26 watch towers, multiple bunkers, an arms range and a massive warehouse with weapons all protected by barb wire! The construction is led by a U.S. general while around 200 U.S. troops are stationed in Israel as part of the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC), which coordinates humanitarian and security assistance into Gaza. Meanwhile, There’s no reconstruction happening in Gaza while Palestinians live in tents and in fear of kosher terrorists. The Israeli Minister of war crimes, Israel Katz, proudly announced: We currently hold over 60% of Gaza, and all of it has been destroyed. It has been destroyed both above and below ground. This is the difference in the approach we have introduced. Kosher child killer found out! Dor Gedalia Ben Simhon, the battalion commander of the 52nd Battalion of the 401st Armored Brigade of the Israeli occupation forces, was killed in southern Lebanon alongside three other soldiers. According to investigations into the murder of 5-year-old Hind Rajab, this is the same battalion that murdered her and six of her family members in their car on January 29th, 2024. They also murdered two Palestinian Red Crescent paramedics, Youssef Zeino and Ahmed Al Madhoun, who were killed when their ambulance was struck while attempting to rescue her.show more

🚨A BRITISH SOLDIER SPEAKS FOR MILLIONS “I sacrificed my... life to secure this country's freedom and its freedom of speech — and now you arrest people for words while turning a blind eye to crimes committed by invaders. You are a disgrace to your uniform and you are an insult to mine.” A moment like this cuts through everything. When a serving soldier—in full uniform—has to remind the police what this nation stands for, it proves just how far we’ve fallen. Britain’s armed forces understand sacrifice, duty, and loyalty to the people. They also see betrayal when it's unfolding right in front of them. This is not about politics. This is about truth, honour, and the survival of the nation our soldiers pledged their lives to defend. History will look back on these days, and those who stayed silent will not be remembered kindly.show more

Today is singer Linda Rondstadt’s birthday, who is from... Tucson, Arizona. She is definitely NOT my fan and, in the past, she led a huge demonstration against me in front of my jails/tents. In protest, I forced all of my inmates to listen to her songs, which they hated. It seems the only inmates who liked her songs were illegal aliens! Rondstadt also attacks President Trump and me for our anti-illegal immigration policies. Protesting alongside Linda is former Democrat Maricopa County, Arizona Board of Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox who had traveled to Washington DC in 2008 with former Phoenix mayor Phil Gordon to file a complaint against my anti-illegal immigration enforcement operations. Their efforts, which they still brag about, made me an official target by the Obama/Biden administration in their “First 100 Days” in office report, and led to an investigation regarding a 17-year lawsuit known as the Melendrez case. Unfortunately for Wilcox and the Democrats, my anti-illegal immigration enforcement policies were recently vindicated by the US Supreme Court. It should be noted, at the time of Linda’s demonstration, “Fraudney” Glassman from Tucson, Arizona was running for US senate for Arizona and became the nominee for the Democratic Party that year. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rodney Glassman was there protesting against me too! Rodney Glassman has lost his last several elections in a row. In contrast, Warren Petersen, a real conservative running for Arizona Attorney General, has won all of his elections and has earned the prestigious privilege of being elected the President of the Arizona Senate. Nevertheless, I want to commend Linda’s Tucson, Arizona police chief brother for his dedicated service. Linda should have positive remarks about “America’s Toughest Sheriff” since in the year 2000, my Sheriff’s Office arrested and convicted a suspect to prison for stalking Linda for over 3 years. Ironically, one of her hit songs was “You’re No Good.” Also, one of Linda’s collaborators in music was Dolly Parton who sent me her autographed photo signed, “With Love.”show more

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1. Trump’s envoy, Steve Witkoff,... arrived in Moscow to discuss the final offer from the U.S for peace in Ukraine. It reportedly includes provisions that Ukraine won’t join NATO and that both sides will cede some territory. 2. A Russian general was killed by a car bomb in Moscow - believed to be a targeted attack by Ukraine. General Yaroslav Moskalik was the deputy head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and once led Russia-Ukraine talks in Paris. 3. Trump slammed Putin for launching a major missile attack on Ukraine: “We’re in the midst of peace talks, and missiles were fired. I was not happy with that.” 4. Gunfire erupted overnight between India and Pakistan across the Line of Control as tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals spiral. India’s army confirmed there had been limited firing of small arms that it said had been initiated by Pakistan, adding it had been “effectively responded to.” 5. Some mourners caused outrage by snapping selfies with the body of Pope Francis at St Peter’s Basilica. Despite rules and basic decency, phones came out, selfie sticks went up, and reverence flew out the window. 6. After rebel-backed chaos and rising death tolls, Congo and Rwanda are set to sign a peace and development pact in D.C. with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Behind the diplomacy? Billions in U.S investment and a quiet race for cobalt, copper, and lithium. 7. China told Washington to completely scrap all tariffs if it wants serious negotiations. China's Commerce Ministry insisted the U.S started the trade war and must make the first move toward peace. 8. Judge William Orrick - who ruled Trump can't cut funding to cities hiding illegal immigrants - turned out to be a huge Democratic Party supporter. He didn't just donate 6 figures to Democratic candidates including Obama, Kerry, and both Clintons - he chaired committees to elect them and introduced Kamala at campaign events. 9. Online criminals scammed Americans out of $16.6 billion last year, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center, marking a 33% surge in just 12 months. People over 60 took the biggest hit - losing $4.8 billion across more than 147,000 complaints. 10. California pulled ahead of Japan with a $4.1 trillion economy, making it the 4th largest in the world. It grew faster than the U.S, China, and Germany last year, but with rising public-sector jobs, shrinking private ones, and trade partners spooked, it’s not clear how long the state can hold the line.show more

Is this not a national security concern? 🚨 A... CCP linked Intelligence Official purchased a Historical Building close to the White House who has a background in SNIPER TRAINING Q: Mr. President, there’s a report about a CCP senior intelligence official purchasing a historical building overlooking the White House. Have you heard about this? TRUMP: “No, I haven’t heart that.” 🔻 My Findings: The original source of this story is from the Daily Caller. Just the News even amplified it.. On July 21, 2026, the Philip Qiu and Family Foundation (a U.S.-registered private foundation based in Washington, D.C.) purchased the historic ~100-year-old Securities Building (at or near 729 15th Street NW) for $8.4 million. The building sits roughly 650 feet northeast of the White House grounds/complex. Philip Qiu (Chinese name Qiu Feili) is described as having held positions linked to Chinese state security and United Front Work Department (UFWD) organizations. His background includes: • Career as a detective in the Shanghai Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Team (under China’s Ministry of Public Security). • Special forces/combat and SNIPER training (noted in Shanghai Jiaotong University records from around 2011). • Roles including chairman of the Shanghai Overseas Chinese Foundation (described as operating within Shanghai’s UFWD system) since about 2021, plus other UFWD-linked positions. • Co-founder of the Chinese American Museum in Washington, D.C. (which shares an address/related entities with the foundation in some reports).show more

🚨 BREAKING: Thailand has officially blacklisted Trump consultant Michael... B. Alfaro & myself, Gary Franchi, Chief White House Correspondent for Next News Network — after our reporting on the Cambodia–Thailand border crisis reached millions, triggered President Trump’s direct intervention, and led 70,000 Cambodian monks to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Michael traveled to Cambodia during the August ceasefire period, after Trump warned both nations they would face tariffs if hostilities continued. On the ground he met with Deputy PM Sun Chanthol, Tourism Minister Huot Hak, and spoke by phone with Prime Minister Hun Manet & First Lady Pich Chanmony. He documented families displaced into plastic tents, schools & temples destroyed, and 18 Cambodian soldiers still being held captive by Thai forces after being lured to the border under a false “peace” meeting. His livestream drew over 9 million viewers in just one hour, exposing the truth that mainstream media ignored. I amplified those findings to millions more through Next News Network. As a White House-credentialed journalist who has reported from NATO & the White House press room, I’ve used my platform to ensure the Cambodian people’s voices were heard. The response? A smear campaign launched by the Thai army & left-wing reporters, calling Michael a “lobbyist” and me “just a YouTuber.” Their intent was clear: discredit us to bury the truth. And when that failed, they escalated: Thailand blacklisted Michael Alfaro — and targeted me by name — in a desperate attempt to silence our reporting. But the truth is out. President Trump issued a dramatic ultimatum after reviewing Michael’s footage: Cambodia & Thailand must return to the table or face U.S. withdrawal & tariffs. Within hours, both nations held their first peace talks since the conflict reignited. Now the Cambodian people call Michael a hero, and in September, Cambodian-American communities will honor both of us with a Champion Trophy for standing with them when few others would. And today — history was made. 70,000 Cambodian monks just nominated President Donald J. Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, citing his role in ending the decades-long border conflict. This extraordinary moment is a direct result of the truth Michael exposed in Cambodia. Thailand can blacklist us. They can smear us. But they can’t erase the fact that our reporting reached the President of the United States, helped force peace talks, and has now contributed to President Trump’s historic Nobel Peace Prize nomination.show more
