March 05, 2025

President Donald Trump on Tuesday night local time delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, outlining his legislative priorities and touting his administration's early accomplishments. The speech was marked by a mix of defiant optimism and criticism of his opponents.

Trump declared that his administration has accomplished more in the first 43 days than most administrations have in four years, emphasizing a 41-point jump in small-business optimism and a 27-point swing in public perception of the country's direction.

The president announced that he has signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken over 400 executive actions, which he described as a record. These actions were aimed at restoring "common sense, safety, optimism, and wealth" across the country.

Trump declared a national emergency on the southern border and deployed the U.S. military and border patrol to "repel the invasion." He noted that illegal border crossings last month were the lowest ever recorded.

The president proposed cutting taxes on domestic production and manufacturing, retroactive to January 20, 2025. He also announced tariffs on goods from Canada, Mexico, and China, stating that other countries have used tariffs against the U.S. for decades.

Trump also highligted his efforts against far woke ideology.

"We've ended the tyranny of so-called diversity, equity and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and, indeed, the private sector and our military. And our country will be woke no longer." Trump said.

He continued, "We believe that whether you are a doctor, an accountant, a lawyer or an air traffic controller, you should be hired and promoted based on skill and competence, not race or gender. Very important."

The president noted, "I signed an order making it the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female."

Trump also commented on the Russia-Ukraine war. He mentioned receiving a letter from Volodymyr Zelensky during his speech. In the letter, the Ukrainian president expressed readiness to sign a minerals deal and a willingness to engage in peace negotiations.

He read parts of the letter to Congress, stating, "We really do value how much America has done to help Ukraine maintain its sovereignty and independence. Regarding the agreement on minerals and security, Ukraine is ready to sign it at any time that is convenient for you." Trump appreciated the letter and indicated that it was a sign of warming relations between the two leaders following their contentious Oval Office meeting.

During his remarks about Ukraine Trump trolled far-left Democrat senator Elizabeth Warrem .who he called "Pocahontas."

“I’m also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight," Trump said. "The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense, with no security, with no anything.”

As Democrats in attendance started to applaud, Trump asked, “Do you want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, you would say. Pocahontas says yes.”

The Republicans then burst into laughter as the camera turned to Warren, showing her smiling and clapping.

“Two thousand people are being killed every single week. More than that,” Trump continued. “They’re Russian young people, they’re Ukrainian young people, they’re not Americans, but I want it to stop. Meanwhile, Europe has sadly spent more money buying Russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending Ukraine, by far. Think of that.”

Trump has repeatedly referred to Warren as “Pocahontas,” in reference to the famous 17th century Native American woman, as part of a jab at Warren’s fraudulent claims to Native American ancestry.

In 2018, after he received criticism from Democrats over the nickname, Trump vowed to continue using it, arguing it was “too good to give up.”

During his speech Tuesday night, Trump called out Democrats' conduct in the chamber for heckling and disrupting, saying that they would not clap, stand, or cheer for any of his achievements. Far-left Democrat Congressman Al Green was removed from the chamber for standing up and loudly interrupting Trump.

The president called on Democrats to join in celebrating "incredible wins for America" for the good of the nation.

During the speech, Trump honored DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old cancer patient who dreams of becoming a police officer. Trump introduced DJ to the audience, noting that DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018 and given only five months to live, but has since surpassed that prognosis by over six years.

In a heartwarming moment, Trump announced that Daniels would be sworn in as an honorary Secret Service agent in a moment that drew cheers from Republicans in the House gallery.

“He has always dreamed of becoming a police officer. But in 2018, DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer,” Trump said, before adding: “And tonight, DJ, we’re going to do you the biggest honor of them all.”

Critics slammed Democrat congressmembers in attendance, who refused to give a standing ovation as the president introduced DJ Daniel, and victims of crimes by illegal aliens.

Far-left MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace also faced backlash as critics online called for her firing and an apology over her distasteful comments about DJ Daniel.

“I hope he’s alive for another 95 years and I hope he lives the life he wants to live. He wants to be a cop, he knows what he wants to do and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you,” Wallace said.

Then, in a reference to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, Wallace said: “I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump’s supporters and if he does, I hope he isn’t one of the six who loses his life to suicide.”

Trump also slammed Democrats in post on Truth Social Wednesday. “The Democrats should lose the Midterms based on their behavior at last night’s Joint Address to Congress,” he wrote. “All Republicans must use their behavior on men in women’s sports, their very dangerous Open Border policy, High Energy and Taxes, and much else.”

He continued, “Also, Republicans should utilize the footage provided on the total disrespect they showed to all of those that were honored that night, including young ladies who were killed by illegal migrants, people with terminal cancer, etc. They didn’t even have the common courtesy to stand, smile, or applaud. This could be, on analyzing the full tape of this Historic Event, your full CAMPAIGN TO VICTORY!”

The speech was delivered to the 119th United States Congress, presided over by House Speaker Mike Johnson and Vice President JD Vance. It was not officially a State of the Union address because it was the first address in Trump's second nonconsecutive term. Presidents typically do not designate their first speech in a new term as a State of the Union.

U.S. Military Airstrike In Southern Caribbean Targets Vessel Allegedly Operated By Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang

The U.S. military on Tuesday, conducted a precision strike in the southern Caribbean against a vessel that had departed from Venezuela and was allegedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang, a transnational criminal organization designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. government.

President Donald Trump announced the operation on Truth Social, stating that 11 individuals, whom he referred to as "narcoterrorists" or "terrorists," were killed in the strike while the boat was transporting illegal narcotics in international waters. The strike was described as a "kinetic" operation carried out in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility.

The U.S. military confirmed a "precision strike" against the vessel. Trump shared a 29-second video clip on Truth Social showing a small, multi-engine speedboat traveling at sea before a bright flash and flames engulfed it. The video is largely in black and white, and Venezuela's Communications Minister Freddy Ñáñez falsely suggested it was artificially generated.

No U.S. military personnel were injured in the operation Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the "lethal strike" on X stating it targeted a drug vessel operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.

The Tren de Aragua gang originated over a decade ago within the notoriously violent prison system of Venezuela's Aragua state. It has since expanded its operations across Latin America, including to Chile, Colombia, and the United States, where it is involved in drug smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, sex trafficking, and acts of extreme violence such as beheadings.

The Biden administration designated it a transnational crime organization in 2024. President Trump, upon returning to office, escalated the designation, formally declaring Tren de Aragua a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" in February 2025, a move that is unusual for a criminal gang.

The strike on the vessel occurred amid a significant U.S. military deployment in the southern Caribbean. In recent weeks, the U.S. has sent at least seven warships, including the nuclear-powered submarine USS Virginia, and over 4,500 Marines and sailors to the region.

This build-up, which includes Aegis guided-missile destroyers like the USS Gravely and USS Jason Dunham, is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to combat drug trafficking from Latin America. The administration has also increased surveillance flights with P-8 spy planes over international waters.

The deployment has been met with strong condemnation from Venezuela, with President Nicolás Maduro calling it an "extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral and absolutely criminal and bloody threat" and vowing to "declare a republic in arms" if attacked. Maduro has ordered troops to the border with Colombia and urged civilians to join militias in response.

The strike represents a dramatic escalation in the U.S. approach to drug cartels, signaling a willingness to use military force in the Americas.

The U.S. has also offered a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest on drug-trafficking charges. Despite the military action, the administration has not signaled plans for a land invasion of Venezuela.

ISS Orbital Altitude Reboost Maneuver By SpaceX Dragon Cargo Spacecraft

SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft (C211) on Wednesday Sept. 3 at about 1815 UTC, successfully completed its first test burn to demonstrate a new capability to help maintain the International Space Station's (ISS) orbital altitude.

This initial maneuver, lasting five minutes and three seconds, used two Draco engines located in the Dragon's trunk to raise the station's orbit by approximately one mile at its lowest point, positioning it in a 420 x 412-kilometer orbit.

The boost kit is expected to provide about a quarter of the propulsion needed annually to maintain the ISS's 418-kilometer-high orbit.

The new capability is enabled by an add-on "boost kit" installed in the Dragon's open-to-space aft trunk section.

This kit includes two Draco engines, six propellant tanks, and a helium pressurization system, forming an independent propellant system separate from the spacecraft's main systems. This hardware allows the Dragon to perform reboosts, a task traditionally handled by Russia's Progress vehicles.

This capability, introduced on the SpaceX CRS-33 mission, is part of NASA's strategy to reduce reliance on Russian vehicles and build fuel reserves for the station's eventual controlled deorbit, a process that will be managed by a future SpaceX-built deorbit vehicle. The Dragon's ability to perform these burns is a significant step towards the station's long-term operations and safe retirement.

This test marks the beginning of a series of planned burns throughout the fall of 2025 to sustain the station's altitude.

Comedian Graham Linehan Arrested In UK Over Critical Transgender Posts On X

Comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday, upon his arrival from Arizona, U.S., by five armed police officers on ridiculous suspicion of 'inciting violence' related to three posts he made on X in April 2025.

The posts that prompted his detention included one from April 20 stating: "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls."

Another post from April 19 showed an image of a trans rally with the caption: "A photo you can smell."

He subsequently wrote: "I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em."

The 57-year-old was taken to a police station, questioned about the posts, and subsequently hospitalized due to a severe spike in blood pressure, which he described as "stroke territory," before being released on bail with a condition prohibiting him from posting on X until a further interview in October.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and stated that officers became concerned for his health, resulting in the hospital visit, but claimed his condition was neither life-threatening nor life-changing. The arrest was carried out by armed officers from the MPS Aviation Unit.

Linehan described being met by five armed officers immediately after disembarking from his American Airlines flight, escorted to a private area, and informed of his arrest. He was placed in a cell and questioned about the tweets, during which his blood pressure reportedly reached over 200, leading to his transfer to the emergency department at a hospital for observation.

The arrest comes days before Linehan is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 4, 2025, facing two charges: one of harassing transgender activist Sophia Brooks on social media and another of damaging her mobile phone during an October incident. He has denied these charges.

Linehan, is the Irish comedy writer best known for creating the sitcoms Father TedThe IT Crowd, and Black Books. He has become a prominent and outspoken critic of transgender rights movements since around 2018.

The comedian's arrest has sparked significant political and public reaction, with UK opposition politicians, including Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick and Labour backbencher Jonathan Hinder, criticizing the use of five armed officers for an arrest over social media posts, calling it a "ridiculous" waste of police time. Author JK Rowling also condemned the arrest, calling it "totalitarianism" and "deplorable."

Critics on social media slammed UK government for descending into tyranny, especially since the enactment of Britain's controversial Online Safety Act.
