-“Cuban National Defense Council Approves “Transition to State of War” as Social Media Erupts”-
“The statement fails to specify any concrete measures that were approved, what real implications this supposed “preparation” will have, or what level of civilian mobilization is expected.
Nevertheless, the communiqué concluded by noting that “Army General Raúl Castro Ruz was kept informed of the activity’s progress, which he described as a good and efficient meeting.”

DeStefano’s Freedom Ends—he has been taken to New York
https://www.ammoland.com/2026/01/destefanos-freedom-ends-he-has-been-taken-to-new-york/

If you want someone to blame, look no further than New York State Attorney General Leticia James. She is the sole reason why DeStefano is facing 521 years behind bars. The more than five centuries of potential prison time he faces are on par with James’ crazy and overzealous course.

“Statements by Iran regime’s chief justice reveal a system trapped between collapsing fear and an unstoppable uprising

The remarks made by Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje’i, Iran regime’s Chief Justice and a senior enforcer of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, on 14 January 2026, were less a display of judicial authority than a revealing document of structural panic. His warning that repression must be carried out “quickly” because “if it is delayed, it will no longer be effective” captures the anxiety of a system that sees time itself turning against it.”

Farmers are not going to give up. Mercosur.
“With the deal now signed, the ball is in the European Parliament’s court. Ratification requires lawmakers’ consent, and MEPs remain split largely along national lines, even as supporters hope backing from EU governments will sway undecided colleagues.

Opponents are set to test that support as early as next week, when lawmakers vote on a resolution calling for the agreement to be challenged before the EU’s top court.”

Grok, on X was asked about this picture

The image is from 2020 protests, but in the current 2026 context of ICE shootings and unrest in Minneapolis, similar armed sightings have occurred. In a Jan 16 incident, Raul Gutierrez was charged with stealing a rifle from a vandalized FBI vehicle and illegal possession. No specific outcome for the pictured individuals, as it’s an old photo. Ongoing protests continue.

In the doghouse… Belgian court jails wife who boiled, starved, and caged her husband with their 60 chihuahuas, rejecting excuse of menopause and stress
A Belgian judge was unimpressed by claims that early menopause explained months of extreme domestic abuse that left a 48-year-old man a “burned skeleton”

https://rmx.news/article/in-the-doghouse-belgian-court-jails-wife-who-boiled-starved-and-caged-her-husband-with-their-60-chihuahuas-rejecting-excuse-of-menopause-and-stress/

WTF happened to European men??

Absolutely horrific.
We have a real problem with societies that are coercing men to “respond delicately” if they are forced to defend themselves, (or to defend others), even when they are physically attacked.
A man is expected to wait until he has endured severe physical trauma as evidence to justify any measure of defense.
Too often, it seems to be a no win situation: even if a man effectively prevents an assault on himself, his method of handling the situation is often considered, insensitive at best, and, evil and/or illegal at worst.
And if he fails to prevent his own assault, he may endure merciless cruelty, as in this case, yet the evil woman still expects that she shouldn’t be held accountable for her own actions because she “couldn’t control herself” (due to menopause).
And all through these nations, Lefty women cry for equal rights, but definitely NOT equal accountability)

“Miller makes the case for Greenland hostile takeover.”
After we control Greenland, it will be our staging area for attacking Canada.
After all, Canada has a tiny population for such a huge territory.
From our “Golden Dome” bases in Canada, Alaska, and Greenland, we can face the Boss Monster––Russia.
