January 26, 2025

Colombian President Gustavo Petro caved in with remarkable speed to  President Donald Trump's demands Sunday, and reversed his decision to block US deportation flights, offering a "presidential plane" to facilitate the “dignified return” of Colombian nationalsThe move came after Trump hit the South American country with retaliatory sanctions.

This weekend, American officials sent two flights of Colombian illegal aliens as part of Trump's ongoing deportation program. Petro rejected the flights, writing that the U.S. cannot "treat Colombian migrants as criminals."

"I deny the entry of American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory," Petro said. "The United States must establish a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants before we receive them."

In response, Trump unleashed a slew of punishments, including ordering a 25% tariff on all goods coming into the U.S. from Colombia.

"I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "This order was given by Colombia’s Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro’s denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the United States, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures:

"-Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.

"-A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.

-Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

"-Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds.

"-IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

"These measures are just the beginning. We will not allow the Colombian Government to violate its legal obligations with regard to the acceptance and return of the Criminals they forced into the United States!"

A former member of the M-19, which was a Marxist guerrilla terrorist group that killed hundreds, Petro quickly caved in to Trump's demands 

In a statement translated from Spanish, the Colombian government offered to send a "presidential plane|" to help facilitate a "dignified return."

"The Government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights," the statement read. "This measure responds to the Government's commitment to guarantee decent conditions."

Trump later trolled the Colombian president with a 'FAFO' meme [Fuck Around and Find Out].

Meanwhile the Trump administration has stepped up immigration enforcement across the country as it ends its first week in office.

Federal narcotics agents arrested approximately 50 illegal aliens during a high-stakes drug trafficking raid in Adams County, Colorado, on Sunday. Many of those apprehended reportedly have ties to the notorious violent Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division, in collaboration with metro Denver law enforcement agencies and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) Denver, executed the early morning raid at an illegal makeshift nightclub operating in the area.

Federal authorities reported the seizure of substantial quantities of illicit drugs, firearms, and large sums of cash, underscoring the growing criminal threat posed by illegal immigration.

DEA Rocky Mountain Division confirmed the operation in a post on X, writing, “DEA and federal/local partners conducted an early morning operation at a makeshift nightclub in Adams County. Drugs/weapons/cash seized. Approx. 50 illegal aliens were taken into custody by ERO Denver – many are connected with the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang from Venezuela.”

Officials described the operation as targeting a secretive “invite-only” venue used by gang members to orchestrate their criminal enterprises under the cover of nightlife activity.

The Tren de Aragua gang, originally formed in Venezuela’s prison system, has rapidly expanded its criminal network across the Americas, engaging in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and violent crimes, thanks to Joe Biden oepn bordr.

Ex-FBI Director James Comey Indicted By Grand Jury For Obstruction Of Justice Lying To Congress

A federal grand jury on Thursday,  in Northern Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey on two felony counts: one for making false statements to Congress and one for obstruction of justice. Each charge carries a potential penalty of up to 5–10 years in prison.

These charges arise from Comey's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2020, during which prosecutors allege he provided misleading information about his handling of the FBI's investigation into contacts between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.

The indictment was unsealed late Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the long-simmering feud between Comey and President Trump, who was re-elected in 2024. The trial date has not been set, but it could extend into 2026.

Comey served as FBI Director from 2013 until his abrupt firing by Trump in May 2017, amid the early stages of the Russia investigation. Trump has long accused Comey of orchestrating a "witch hunt" against him, blaming the former director for the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose probe dominated much of Trump's first term.

The charges stem from Comey's 2020 congressional testimony, where he reportedly downplayed the extent of his communications with Trump regarding the Russia probe and his role in leaking memos about those interactions.

The case gained momentum earlier this year when the Secret Service interrogated Comey over a social media post showing seashells arranged as "86 47"—a reference interpreted by Trump allies as a coded assassination threat against the president (the 47th). Comey deleted the post, calling it a "restaurant-themed joke" about removing Trump from office.

Responding in a video message, Comey declared: "I'm not afraid.. I'm innocent. Let's have a trial."

President Trump celebrated the indictment on social media, posting: "Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so many years... One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to." Supporters echoed this sentiment, with conservative commentator Jesse Kelly warning that the trial's location—potentially in Washington, D.C.—could lead to an acquittal due to liberal bias of the jury pool.

'I Control Donald Trump:' Netanyahu Brags To World Leaders -Tucker Carlson

Popular American commentator, journalist and conservative firebrand Tucker Carlson has publicly accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of boasting to foreign leaders that he controls both President Donald Trump and U.S. foreign policy, calling the situation "humiliating" for America.

The Tucker Carlson Show host made these remarks during a recent appearance on the System Update podcast hosted by Glenn Greenwald, where he also criticized U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza and argued that American leaders are being forced into actions detrimental to the nation's interests.

Carlson stated he has direct knowledge of Netanyahu's claims based on conversations with people who heard him say it, asserting that the Israeli leader is "running around" the Middle East and telling people point blank, "I control the United States. I control Donald Trump."

The conservative firebrand emphasized that his criticism is directed at U.S. leaders who, in his view, are allowing the country to be subjected to a "humiliation ritual" due to foreign influence, arguing that this undermines the fundamental relationship between citizens and their government.

Carlson described Israel's military actions in Gaza as an "expansion" and dismissed accusations of bigotry against him, stating he is not hurt by such labels because he knows he is not a bigot.

The conservative commentator has faced backlash from Jewish Zionists, for his remarks at Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, where he recounted a story likening Kirk’s murder to the crucifixion of Jesus, including a scene of men in a lamplit room eating hummus plotting to kill Lord Jesus Christ. (Matthews 26: 1-5).

Critics, including Jewish groups and Israeli officials, have condemned the speech as an antisemitic dogwhistle, arguing that the reference to hummus—a modern Middle Eastern food—was a deliberate and offensive trope implying Jewish involvement in Kirk’s assassination.

Carlson defended his remarks in the System Update podcast interview., pointing out that he categorically and publicly makes his views about Israel and Netanyahu known, and doesn't need to imply it in a speech about Kirk.

While prominent Zionist and Jewish neoconservative voices criticized the speech, many MAGA-aligned conservative movement’s figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and former Congressman and OANN host Matt Gaetz praised Carlson's speech.

The controversy underscores the growing concern on the American right over Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy especially in the Middle East. Growing number of conservatives -- traditionally allied with the Israeli right -- have started in recent years, started questioning the policies of Netanyahu's government in the region since the break out of the ongoing genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza. "It is America First, not Israel First," is a common meme on social media among right-leaning critics of Trump's bizarrely submissive pro-Israel policies.

KA-03: ULA Atlas V Launches 27 Amazon Project Kuiper Internet Satellites

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V 551 rocket successfully launched 27 Project Kuiper broadband satellites into low Earth orbit on Thursday, Sept, 25, at 1209 UTC from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.

The Atlas V 551 rocket, featuring five GEM 63 solid rocket boosters and a single RL10C-1-1 engine on its Centaur upper stage, lifted off on schedule. The launch window was 29 minutes long, and favorable weather conditions, with a 95% chance of acceptable conditions, were confirmed by the U.S. Space Force's 45th Weather Squadron.

The payload fairing, a 23-meter composite shroud, was jettisoned after ascent through the atmosphere. The Centaur upper stage's main engine cutoff (MECO) was confirmed, and the 27 satellites were successfully deployed at an initial altitude of 450 kilometers(km).

The satellites will now be gradually raised to their operational orbit of 630 km by Amazon's mission operations center in Redmond, Washington.

The Kuiper 3 (or KA-03) mission marks the fifth launch for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation and the third batch of satellites delivered by ULA on the Atlas V rocket. The launch was part of a morning doubleheader, following a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch carrying 28 Starlink satellites just hours earlier.

This launch is the third of nine planned Atlas V missions for Amazon's Project Kuiper constellation, with the remaining five scheduled before transitioning to the next-generation Vulcan rocket.

ULA is delivering more than half of the constellation's 3,200 satellites under the world's largest commercial launch agreement. These spacecraft will be lofted on more than 80 launches performed by a variety of rockets — SpaceX's Falcon 9, Arianespace's Ariane 6, Blue Origin's New Glenn and ULA's Atlas V and Vulcan Centaur.

Thursday's successful launch brings Amazon's total number of in-orbit Project Kuiper satellites to 129. Project Kuiper faces competition from SpaceX's Starlink, which operates the world's largest satellite constellation with over 8,000 satellites as of September 2025.
