    The US is halting Pentagon Section 333 funding for training and equipping Eastern European militaries on the frontline against Russia

    The Baltic states would face significant challenges without US security aid, amid Moscow-linked attacks on critical infrastructure, cyberattacks, and sabotage.

    The US is reviewing global troop deployments and plans to reduce its military presence in Europe, per FT.

      1. agreed. if we didn’t have to fund every other countries defense–that would help tremendously too–BUT the owners of the war machines–bombs, tanks, planes, etc would go broke without gov’t contracts paying them to supply OTHER countries for their defense, so THEIR lobbyists make tons of $$.

    BREAKING:

    Whistleblowers Inside HHS and CDC have just sent me critical information on an ACTIVE sabotage operation taking place within the Federal Health Departments.

    Left-wing career bureaucrats are in total panic over RFK Jr. shutting down their Big Pharma grift and are trying to take down the agencies from the inside.

    And they’re using the CIA to do it.

    Here’s how it’s happening: Career CDC bureaucrats are distributing a CIA manual entitled “Simple Sabotage” to their subordinates.

    I have multiple whistleblowers with first hand direct evidence of this.

    The CDC ranks are now acting out this CIA strategy to the letter. The walkouts, corporate media hits, fake protests and Senate hearings.

    It’s all staged to systematically sabotage Trump’s health agenda. Here’s what happens next and why we must FIGHT for @RobertKennedyJr right now. Read and bookmark this thread:

    The manual instructs employees to purposely slow operations by demanding written orders and pretending not to understand, while carrying out acts that spread blame across as many people as possible. It even gives explicit examples: “On the street sabotage after dark against a military vehicle.” “Do everything possible to delay the delivery of orders. Don’t deliver until completely ready.” “Try to commit acts for which large numbers of people could be responsible.”

    Lowering Morale and Creating Confusion Employees are encouraged to develop a “non-cooperative” attitude, and get others to do the same. Paired with this is “acting stupid” to lower morale, confuse the department, and undermine efficiency.

    Think that’s extreme? There’s more. The manual teaches staff to make perfection the enemy of good on even the simplest tasks. It directs them to over-criticize, drag out work, and deliberately submit illegible documents so they have to be redone.

    Meanwhile, staff are instructed to spread propaganda internally to recruit others, turning minor sabotage into mass disruption. “The saboteur may become discouraged unless he feels that he is a member of a large, though unseen, group of saboteurs operating against the enemy or the government of his own country and elsewhere.”

    While employees are being trained internally to sabotage the Trump administration, a public pressure campaign is being pushed at the same time. 1,000 previous and current HHS employees have signed a letter demanding RFK Jr’s resignation. This is how you know he is doing something right.

    Keep fighting @RobertKennedyJr

    These are deliberate, coordinated efforts to block and destroy Trump’s agenda from within the federal bureaucracy. Every delay, every confusing memo, every act designed to spread blame is part of a calculated plan to undermine the administration. The corruption isn’t isolated, it’s systematic, organized, and being executed by people who are supposed to serve the public. This is sabotage at the highest level, and it shows just how deep the rot goes inside HHS. This needs the administrations full attention.

  7. EXCERPT: “Internal memos obtained by Just the News show President Joe Biden’s aides believed at the beginning of his administration that he had an obligation to personally sign official presidential actions, including pardons, and chronicle how the former president later outsourced clemency decisions to then-Vice President Kamala Harris.

    The memos were gathered as part of a sweeping review by the Trump White House into Biden’s use of autopen signatures for official business, an inquiry that now raises new questions about whether the former president actually attended four meetings late in his term dedicated to making clemency decisions.

    Those clemency decisions included pre-emptive pardons for Biden family members as well as commutations for federal death row sentences.

    No records of Biden attending meetings that resulted in clemency

    The National Archives and Records Administration told the Trump White House Counsel’s office that “we did not find specific meeting notes that clearly mention or note that the President was present” for any of the four meetings, according to the documents reviewed by Just the News.

    “President Biden’s decision memo on commuting federal death row sentences is unmarked, and NARA cannot find a version indicating President Biden’s approval,” the documents added.

    The Office of Joe and Jill Biden did not respond to a request for comment sent through its contact page.

    The Pew Research Center reported that Biden “granted more acts of clemency than any previous chief executive on record” and noted that “overall, Biden granted 4,245 acts of clemency during his four-year tenure in the White House.”

    In June, President Donald Trump ordered the White House Counsel to lead an investigation into whether any senior administration officials had “conspired to deceive the public” about the former president’s mental state and exercise his authority and responsibilities. 

    Trump then specifically directed the investigators to probe the use of the autopen on official documents or clemency actions.

    Memo: Policy started out requiring hand signature on pardon letters

    The White House investigation uncovered an early memo that shows a day one administration policy to use an “original hand signature” for pardons had been abandoned by Biden’s final year in office, when the autopen was frequently used to sign orders as part of the president’s prolific clemency spree.

    Within one month of Biden taking office, the White House Staff Secretary Jess Hertz disseminated that draft memo, outlining the official policies that would govern whether certain presidential actions would require a handwritten signature from the new president or would be eligible for the autopen…..”

  8. Just The News: “Federal law enforcement officials on Thursday were notified about a potential attack on law enforcement officers in Washington, D.C. from a group hoping to get detainees in the district released, Just The News has learned. 

    A federal source shared the notification with Just The News, which claimed the attack could occur as early as Friday and that the suspected group, identified as the “FLARE Coalition,” was located outside of Union Station and Columbus Circle.

    The group allegedly intends to immobilize federal vehicles by slashing tires, breaking windows, assaulting law enforcement officers, such as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, with fireworks and homemade explosives, and using chemical weapons to “neutralize federal agents and take duty weapons.” 

    FLARE has also pushed Congress recently to release the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, to impeach President Donald Trump and remove him from office. The group has described itself as a “24/7 occupation in front of D.C.’s Union Station,” and as a “non-violent anti-fascist collective working toward and beyond the impeachment, conviction and removal of President Donald Trump.” 

    The threat comes after Trump launched a federal takeover of D.C. last month, which gave him a 30-day limit that ends next week without congressional approval. 

    The takeover included the creation of the Safe and Beautiful Task Force, deploying National Guard troops and taking control of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in order to cut down on crime in the district and clean up the city.”

  9. Just The News: “The White House and Pentagon on Thursday confirmed that President Donald Trump will formally rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War on Friday. Trump teased the name change late last month, which is expected to need congressional approval in order to be permanent and official.

    The Department of Defense’s name was changed in 1949 through an amendment to the 1947 National Security Act, which had combined the Army, Air Force and Navy under one department. The Army and Air Force were part of the Department of War before that.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who will later be referred to as the Secretary of War, appeared to confirm the name change was happening Friday, after Fox News reported that Trump will sign an executive order to alter the department’s name.

    “DEPARTMENT OF WAR,” Hegseth posted on X in response to the Fox News article.

    The executive order will make the Department of War a “secondary” title for the Department of Defense, and “secretary of war” a secondary title for Hegseth, the outlet reported. It also directs Hegseth to propose ways to make the name change permanent.”

    “Outgoing Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers Is Going Out With A Leftist Bang — After two terms as the vessel of the far left, Evers is leaving. And he has nothing to lose. Certainly not his dignity or integrity.”

    The Federalist, By: M.D. Kittle, September 05, 2025

    Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers addresses the state during the pandemic.

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “After announcing he won’t seek a third term, uber liberal Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers — the palest man in politics — looks like he’s preparing to burn the mother down. As the MacIver Institute reported this week, Evers is using his recently expanded power to erase mothers and motherhood via trans-agenda friendly language in state Department of Health Services programs.  

    The Evers administration’s Clearinghouse Rule 25-004 redefines, among other gender-specific terms, “pregnant women” as “pregnant persons” in a forced new administrative rule. The language swap trades “Pregnant woman” for “pregnant member(s).” 

    “This rule makes it crystal clear: in the Evers-Rodriguez administration, motherhood isn’t respected — it’s mocked,” Rep. Amanda Nedweski, a southeast Wisconsin Republican, said in a statement. “Once again, Wisconsin moms are being pushed to the side, all to advance a fringe political platform. The fact that our state’s so-called ‘public health experts’ continue to push the unscientific fantasy that men can become pregnant is nothing short of embarrassing. It’s an insult to women everywhere and a blatant rejection of basic biology.”

    Republican state Rep. Clint Moses, chairman of the Assembly Committee on Health, Aging, and Long-Term Care, held a hearing on the controversial proposed rule this week. The Department of Health Services didn’t bother to show up to explain why the administration deemed the woke changes necessary. 

    ‘Radical Gender Agenda’

    DHS and other Evers’ state agencies are free to do what they want. In July, the leftist-led Wisconsin Supreme Court shut down the Republican-controlled legislature’s power to at least temporarily block administrative rules. 

    “Fresh off of the State Supreme Court’s ruling that strips state lawmakers of their oversight ability of administrative rules, the Evers-Rodriguez administration is using their newfound power to enact their radical gender agenda through the rulemaking process without legislative approval,” Nedweski added. 

    The lawmaker noted Evers’ proposed state budget this year that demanded portions of state law refer to mothers as “inseminated persons” or “parent who gave birth to the child.” Removed from the budget by majority Republicans in the legislature, the proposal made Wisconsin the butt of a litany of woke jokes. Dads suffer a similar fate in the new rule. The term “father” will be replaced with “other parent.” 

    Tony’s Parting Shots? 

    Since first winning the governor’s race in 2018, the former longtime public school educrat has been the vessel of the far-left agenda. With leftists firmly in control of the state’s court of last resort for the foreseeable future, Evers could go out with a leftist bang. He’s got nothing to lose. So don’t be surprised if the Pale Rider: 

    › Signs a proclamation declaring Che Guevara Wisconsin’s official State Communist.

    › Issues an executive order designating February as Take a Criminal Illegal Alien to Work Month.

    › Establishes a “Gender-Affirming Care” wing at the State Capitol, with “Testicle Tuesday” (20% of orchiectomies) and 24/7 unisex high school showers. 

    › Changes the state flag to incorporate the short-lived Cracker Barrel logo.

    › Directs deer-hunting license revenue go to fund a fleet of creepy 1974 Chevy vans to serve as mobile abortion-on-demand units. 

    › Orders the Milwaukee Brewers to change their name to the Anti-Racists. And mandates Bernie Brewer go through six weeks of intensive diversity, equity, and inclusion training — with at least one session on “Stormin’” Gorman Thomas‘ toxic masculinity moustache. 

    › Makes “Zuckbucks” Wisconsin’s official currency. 

    › Issues an order requiring that all state public libraries be staffed by drag queens. 

    › Closes all state prisons and designates them “safe spaces” for BIPOC communities and Penzeys spice outlet malls. 

    › Requires all state employees to describe Gov. Tony Evers slacks as “The Home of the Whopper.”

  25. “The Department of War!”

    Clandestine, Sep 05, 2025

    “For those asking why Trump is changing the name of the Dept of Defense to Dept of War: Because in the past, the Deep State used the military to push their agenda, under the guise of “defense.” It’s Orwellian, like the “Ministry of Truth.”

    Its name is the opposite of what its true function is. It’s clever Orwellian wordplay to manipulate the masses to be more accepting of war.

    Trump is changing the name to a more fitting description, the Dept of War, because that’s what the military does. Yes they are engaged in defense, but not just defense. Not saying war is good, but offensive is obviously a big part of warfare as well, and to pretend otherwise is foolish.

    This name change also has some Sun Tzu elements, to project strength. Our enemies see our military prowess as a deterrent. The objective is to have such a strong military, that you don’t have to use it, because your enemy is defeated before the battle begins.

    This is an overall change in philosophy for the US military moving forward. No more Orwellian wordplay. No more euphemisms. No more woke bullshit.

    We will deliver peace through strength, and we will not apologize for it. Our military will be strong and fully equipped to be the most dominant fighting force the world has ever seen. We do not want war, but if our enemies choose to cross us, it will be the last mistake they make.

    Trump and the USMIL are sending a message to the world that the days of taking advantage of the US and her People are over. The Department of War!”

  38. “Bill Gates enacts sham rebrand to score access to Trump White House — Though he’s still a Davos Man at heart.”

    Jordan Schachtel, Sep 05, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE “In the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House in 2025, mega-billionaire Bill Gates has effected a calculated shift in his politics.

    Historically aligned with progressive causes and Democratic figures — see: his $50 million to Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign — Gates now suddenly expresses eagerness to collaborate with the Trump administration on “global health” and the like. However, don’t be mistaken; this “reversal” is a purely strategic move to safeguard his personal influence amid Trump’s aggressive policy changes from the previous administration.

    President Trump on Thursday hosted the top executives of the world’s most powerful technology corporations to bolster investment in American chip manufacturing and artificial intelligence (AI) products and services.

    In attendance were a who’s who of the Big Tech elite, including OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

    However, the name that really stood out at the meeting was Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, who has played a uniquely influential role in the world since leaving the company in 2000.

    It was only a few years ago that Gates positioned himself as one of the architects of the covid hysteria disaster. He arguably had more of an impact than any other individual on the disastrous U.S. pandemic policies.

    During the covid era, Gates leveraged his wealth and influence to successfully monopolize the American policy response through institutions and policymakers that he had directional control over, which resulted in devastation to hundreds of millions.

    When he left the tech space, Gates committed to an ultra progressive political portfolio, specializing in becoming the go-to “expert” for food, nutrition, and “public health” issues, and he has invested lots of his time and energy to advancing the global climate narrative.

    Nutrition expert Bill Gates

    Bill Gates is a committed leftist whose worldview serves as the antithesis to the president’s “MAGA” agenda, and he has rather openly sought to undermine his every initiative.

    Though after the election, Gates publicly congratulated Trump and offered to “work together now to build a brighter future for everyone.”

    Late last month, Gates, through his foundation, stopped his direct involvement with dark money Democratic Party initiatives. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, with its $75 billion endowment, quietly severed ties with Arabella Advisors, a dark money political network linked to Democratic causes.

    But it should be clear that this is merely a strategic ploy to re-ingratiate himself with the people in power in D.C.

    Gates has never publicly disavowed any of his previous beliefs, which are so far-left that it’s hard to imagine that they align with a single Trump Administration initiative, even when it comes to competing with China in the tech space. Gates’s campaign is all just window dressing to secure his access to the White House, instead of falling into years of disfavor as an antagonistic force.

    Sure, the president is right to want to bolster investment in America. In fact, it’s essential to allocate as much capacity as we can to winning the AI race against China. Yet bringing Gates to the table — especially given that he no longer has anything of value to contribute to the space — will not aid that effort. It will only allow the ultimate Davos Man to attempt to hijack the administration’s agenda.”

  39. “LoTT EXPOSES School’s Radical Trans Bathroom Policy”

    Libs of TikTok, Sep 05, 2025

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “Across the nation, schools are continuing to violate the rights of young girls by allowing MALES to invade FEMALE private spaces such as restrooms, locker rooms, and sports. Temecula Valley Unified School District (TVUSD) in California is one of these districts that we EXPOSED.

    Back in July, Libs of TikTok broke the story on how TVUSD was attempting to implement a policy that FORCED young girls to basically claim they have a mental illness if they didn’t want boys invading their bathroom at school.

    During a board meeting, Emil Barham, one of the district’s board members, SMILED and SMIRKED as a concerned parent spoke out against the policy in defense of young girls.

    The following month, we published an image of the infamous “Mental Health Accommodations” form that TVUSD was proposing. This form would pressure female students into falsely declaring they had a mental issue for not wanting boys in their restroom.

    A document titled "Mental Health Accommodation Request" with fields for parent/guardian name, phone number, email address, student name, school site, grade level, and accommodation request. The text includes references to federal and state laws, including Section 504, the Rehabilitation Act, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and California Education Codes. Red text overlay reads "PENDING REVIEW" across the document.

    Following our report, EVEN MORE concerned parents AND students showed up at a TVUSD board meeting to protest the proposed policy, stating how the school was failing to protect girls and jeopardizing their futures by tainting their reputations with a “mental health” issue label.

    Protests against the policy didn’t end there! Just this week, brave students at a TVUSD middle school staged a walkout to protest the district’s woke policies that allow MALES to invade the FEMALE restrooms.

    Many of them called out the school for failing to protect girls and forcing them to falsely claim a “mental illness” for wanting female-only spaces.

    However, not all those who attended the protest were friendly…We then broke the story that Dawn Murray Sibby, a woke teacher at TVUSD, showed up to the student walkout and appeared to HARASS mothers because they don’t want BOYS invading their DAUGHTERS’ locker rooms.

    Policies like this are plaguing school districts across the country and woke staff and defending it.

    Here is the bottom line: A boy CANNOT become a girl. A girl CANNOT become a boy. There are only TWO genders: Male and Female. As school districts continue to push this radical LGBTQ ideology on children, Libs of TikTok will do everything we can to expose them. If a school district near you is attempting to push radical gender ideology on children, send us a tip at submissions @libsoftiktok.com. Children MUST be protected.

    Have a great weekend!” —LoTT Team
