There appear to be 2 things on tap at the White House for June 26, 2025: Iran's nuclear facilities and the NATO 'breakthrough' thanks to President Trump's leadership. First up, a June 26, 2025 White House article about Iran:Experts Agree: Irans Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliteratedciting experts saying that Iran's nuclear facilities have been obliterated.International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Grossi says Iran's centrifuges are no longer operational because the bombing would have destroyed them mostly from the vibrations.Institute for Science and International Security President David Albright notes that without working centrifuges, Iran can't produce anything.Iran's own Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei states Our nuclear installations have been badly damaged, thats for sure.Institute for Science and International Security Senior Research Fellow Spencer Faragasso says it will most likely take years for Iran to recover from the bombing of these 3 facilities.
Second, the June 26, 2025 article:President Trumps Leadership, Vision Drives NATO Breakthroughthrough negotiating a deal to increase the NATO contributions for participating countries across the alliance. It appears that only Spain is adverse to increasing their contribution to the whole and President Trump has already addressed that (see the June 25, 2025 ANP article on this topic). NATO Secretary General "you're my Daddy" Mark Rutte said that without President Trump, the increase in contributions would never have happened.Finnish President Alexander Stubb calls the agreement a "big win for Europe."Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal strongly supports the increase in contribution (5% of GDP).Finnish Minister for Foreign Affairs Elina Valtonen admits that Europe needs to contribute more to their own defense.Polish President Andrzej Duda,Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski, andEuropean Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas all give President Trump the credit for recognizing that all members of NATO were not paying their 'fair share' towards their own defense. The article goes on to cite news organizations and American politicians who agree with the actions taken at the NATO conference.
Frankly, I, and many others, think we have no business being involved in NATO in any way, shape, or form. They are across an entire ocean from us and we have been supporting their defense since WWI. Enough is enough. We need to withdraw from NATO and let Europe fight its own battles. With any luck, this gambit is the first step to creating an independent European NATO alliance that will enable the US to pull out with few complications.

Pierre Yassue Nashun Riley, a Jamacian national, overstayed his tourist visa in 1998. In 2006 he was arrested with marijuana and firearms charges and, after a trial in which he was found guilty, was sentenced to 25 years in jail. In 2021, he requested a compassionate release, which was granted. However, Immigration officials were there upon his release to take him into custody to deport him for being here illegally and now having federal convictions. Riley tried to fight the deportation, finally claiming he would be in deadly peril from the other drug dealers in Jamaica. The lower courts agreed but the DOJ appealed to SCOTUS.
Order from the Board of Immigration Appeals denying deferral of removal in withholding only proceeding is not a final order of removal under 8 U. S. C. 1252(b)(1); the 30-day filing deadline to challenge a final order of removal under 1252(b)(1) is a claims-processing rule, not a jurisdictional requirement.
. . . the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Basically, SCOTUS says Riley waited too long to file against being deported to Jamaica where he states he would be in deadly peril by other drug dealers. Now the case goes back to the lower court for a new ruling based on the SCOTUS decision.
This makes me wonder if other illegal aliens who have Federal convictions will attempt to use the "deadly peril" gambit to keep from being deported.

But because we reported those 'inconvenient truths' they're trying to bankrupt ANP.
