Of all of President Trump’s nominees, Tulsi Gabbard, his choice from Director of National Intelligence, currently is seen on Polymarket’s Betting Markets as the least likely to be confirmed, sitting at only a 49% Chance. While Kash Patel as FBI Director has a 90% Chance of being confirmed, and RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services sits at a 78% Chance.

Texas’ Department of Public Security (DPS) confirmed the details of an exchange of gunfire between Border Patrol units and what was suspected to be cartel members earlier today. According to Texas DPS and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), earlier today, border patrol agents were fired on from the Mexico side of the border while moving to interdict a number of migrants crossing the Rio Grande River near Fronton Island (Fronton Texas). No reported injuries from the incident, but a spokesperson for Texas DPS has said that Mexican military elements were seen staging on the opposite side of the border after the incident. Texas DPS is now patrolling the area near the disputed Fronton Island.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (TxDPS) has released Drone Footage of the suspected Cartel Terrorists that opened-fire earlier today, on U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agents patrolling near the Town of Fronton in Starr County. The Suspects were tracked by TxDPS Drones as they attempted to cross the Rio Grande River back into Mexico, but were stopped by the Mexican Military, causing them to flee to a Small Island on the Rio Grande between the U.S-Mexico Border.

The White House Office of Management and Budget has ordered a “Temporary Pause” in all Federal Financial Assistance Programs, including Grants, Loans, and other Funding, beginning tomorrow at 5:00PM EST. The Pause has been ordered to allow Federal Agencies and Department to ensure the removal of Program, Projects, and Activities that aline with recent Executive Orders signed by President Donald J. Trump, which is said to include “Marxist Equity, Transgenderism, and Green New Deal Social Engineering Policies.”

U.S. President Donald J. Trump has signed an Executive Order tonight for the creation of an “Iron Dome” for the United States. Despite President Trump referring to the System requested as an “Iron Dome” the same as the “Iron Dome” Air Defense System used by Israel, which is only really used for the interception of Short-Range Rockets; the Executive Order instead referenced the need to defend against “Ballistic, Hypersonic, Advanced Cruise Missiles, and other Next-Generation Aerial Attacks” more similar to the Israeli “Arrow” Anti-Ballistic Missile System.

In the Executive Order, the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) or “Star Wars” Program created by President Ronald Reagan in 1983 is mentioned, which would have seen Space-Based Lasers, Particle-Beam Weapons, and Space/Ground-Based Missile Interceptors used to defend the United States against a Full-Scale Nuclear Attack by the Soviet Union, ending the Doctrine known as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Sadly the Program was considered a Failure by both Government and Defense Officials, due to Budgetary, Technological, and Size Limitations.
