And what you’re going to see is you’re going to see the revitalization, the resurrection of all these communities because they built the power once upon a time, and that power is sitting there kind of cheap like the Geico money."

Trump Administration Launches Investigation Into Texas's Muslim-Only Community Project
"The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is investigating entities involved in a planned Muslim housing development in Texas due to concerns the initiative may have engaged in discrimination based on religion and nationality, the department said.

HUD’s probe will look into “The Meadow” project, formally called EPIC City or the East Plano Islamic Center, for potential violations of the Fair Housing Act, according to the department. The Act prohibits direct providers of housing, such as real estate companies, from instituting discriminatory practices that make housing unavailable to people based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or family status.
According to the department, it has “received a complaint from the Texas Workforce Commission detailing a large-scale pattern of religious discriminatory conduct by the developers of The Meadow.”
The project’s marketing materials promote the initiative as a “Muslim community” that will represent the “epicenter of Islam in America.” There are allegations of discriminatory financial terms in the project requiring lot owners to subsidize a mosque and Islamic educational centers, HUD said.
Another allegation is that the initiative employs a biased sales mechanism consisting of a two-tier lottery system for lot sales, granting exclusive access to Tier One buyers."

School-Led Anti-ICE Protests Grow Increasingly Violent, Putting Children in Danger
"Students across America are increasingly being injured, arrested, and seen engaging in violence as teachers and school administrators continue to encourage children to walk out of class to mount marches off school grounds to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement

(ICE).
Mexican flag-toting kids in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, for instance, erupted in violence against a lone man who had a pro-Trump flag. A similar assault occurred in Enumclaw, Washington, during a student protest there. These student protests are turning violent all across the country.
It is also being discovered that many of these protests are not spontaneous, but are instead being organized by socialist groups and teachers’ unions. And these groups are using kids to push their political agenda."

Rubio Says US & Europe "Belong Together", Urges Alignment With Trump's Vision For Western Revival
"U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio told European leaders on Feb. 14 that Washington is not walking away from the transatlantic alliance—but called for a renewed partnership that aligns with President Donald Trump’s push for national revival, tougher border control, and a return to industrial and military strength.

Addressing the annual Munich Security Conference, Rubio sought to reassure governments unsettled by a year of tensions over trade, defense spending, and at times critical U.S. rhetoric toward NATO.
At the same time, he made clear that Washington’s commitment would be tied to what he called a broader civilizational renewal—one that calls on Europe to strengthen its own defenses and reassess policies on migration, climate, and economic globalization.
“Under President Trump, the United States of America will once again take on the task of renewal and restoration, driven by a vision of a future as proud, as sovereign, and as vital as our civilization’s past,” Rubio said.
“And while we are prepared, if necessary, to do this alone, it is our preference, and it is our hope to do this together with you, our friends here in Europe, for the United States and Europe—we belong together.”
Serving as both a warning and an invitation, Rubio’s remarks acknowledged “mistakes” made by both the United States and Europe in the decades following the Cold War, while highlighting a shared responsibility to correct course."

Trump Makes Mamdani Melt Down By Enforcing Federal Code In NYC
"A clash between Democratic officials in New York City and the Trump administration is intensifying over a Pride flag flown at a federal monument outside the Stonewall Inn.

Earlier this week, the administration removed a Pride flag from the Stonewall National Monument. Officials said the action followed longstanding federal rules governing which flags may be displayed at national monuments.
The administration maintains that only the American flag, the Department of the Interior flag, or POW/MIA flags are permitted, not political flags. Pride flags, however, have continued to fly around the Stonewall Inn itself, which sits adjacent to the monument.
The decision triggered backlash from activists and city leaders, including New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani. He posted on X that he was “outraged” and said “our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it.”

Venezuela Oil Revenue Projected To Hit $5 Billion Under U.S. Control
"Venezuela’s oil sales, under the control of the United States for five weeks now, are set to bring $5 billion over the next few months, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told NBC News in an interview.
“Sales today are over a billion dollars, and in fact, we have sort of short-term agreements over the next few months that will bring in another $5 billion,” Secretary Wright said in the interview during a

historic visit to Venezuela to meet with the interim President Delcy Rodríguez.
The United States has already transferred $500 million in proceeds from sales of Venezuelan crude oil to Caracas, following the deal agreed by the two governments in January.
All the money from the oil sales, handled by top commodity traders Vitol and Trafigura, goes back to Venezuela from a U.S. Treasury-controlled account, Secretary Chris told NBC News.
There is a lot of work to be done and massive investments need to flow for Venezuela to restore its oil industry, “But it's on the road to becoming investable,” Secretary Wright told NBC News." ZeroHedge

"Mere days after the US-backed government in Taipei launched the Joint Firepower Coordination Center (JFCC), defined as “an enhanced firepower coordination effort in close cooperation with the United States”, multirole sources have confirmed that the Chinese

breakaway island province of Taiwan is deploying the overhyped and exorbitantly overpriced M142 HIMARS MLRS (multiple launch rocket system) to the islands of Penghu and Dongyin.
The U.S.-made system is also equipped with ATACMS missiles, extending its reach to 300 km. Taipei insists that this will “strengthen the effectiveness of the kill chain”, while its Ministry of Defense (MoD) stressed that the increase in HIMARS orders to 111 units was undertaken specifically to forward-deploy them to the islands closest to China’s mainland."

Trump Promises Voter ID "Whether Congress Approves Or Not"
"The final tally was 218-213, with Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas standing as the lone Democrat to cross party lines.
On Friday, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) gave Republicans their 50th vote late Friday afternoon, telling Maine Wire the revised bill strikes an appropriate balance between election security and voter access.

Unfortunately, 50 votes only get the GOP so far. The legislation still lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has made clear the bill is "dead on arrival.”
And Collins herself opposes scrapping the filibuster to ram the measure through.
“I oppose eliminating the legislative filibuster,” Collins said.
President Trump, however, is promising that requiring a photo ID to vote will get done with or without Congress.
In a post on Truth Social, he accused Democrats of opposing Voter ID and citizenship verification because “they want to continue to cheat in Elections.”
Trump vowed that “There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not,” and stated that Americans demand “Citizenship, and No Mail-In Ballots, with exceptions for Military, Disability, Illness, or Travel.”
Trump also slammed Democrats as “horrible, disingenuous CHEATERS” for opposing Voter I.D., claiming they “boldly laugh in the backrooms” while opposing it.
He called the lack of Voter I.D. “even crazier, and more ridiculous, than Men playing in Women’s Sports, Open Borders, or Transgender for Everyone.”

Woman Caught Attempting To Burn Down Facility Tied To ICE
"Kansas City police are searching for a woman accused of attempting to set fire to a warehouse just hours after a proposed sale of the property for use as an ICE detention facility fell apart.
Officers were dispatched around 5:50 p.m. Thursday to the 14900 block of Botts Road, according to the Kansas City Police

Department. The building is the same warehouse Platform Ventures had been negotiating to sell to the federal government for potential use by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
When officers arrived at the scene, the Kansas City Fire Department was already working to contain the blaze. Fire officials quickly determined the fire appeared to have been intentionally set.
Witnesses told police an unidentified woman approached the structure, appeared to spray an unknown substance along part of the building’s exterior, and then ignited it before fleeing the area. Authorities have not released a description of the suspect."

The so-called Berlin Format gathering on Friday was attended by Kiev’s European backers – including French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, as well as the heads of the European Commission, the European Council, and NATO – who are seeking to insert their vision of a “just peace deal” into the US-led negotiations process.
An unnamed European official described the last-minute cancellation, officially blamed on alleged “scheduling conflicts,” as “insane,” while another told FT that without Rubio the entire meeting “lacked substance.”

Trump Gets Fresh Economic Boost as Inflation Falls to 8‑Month Low
"The latest inflation reading from the Department of Labor has revealed that inflation—while still far from the flat levels touted by President Donald Trump—continues to slow toward its pre-pandemic rates, adding to a run of encouraging economic signals that have marked the opening of 2026.

On Friday morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that consumer prices rose 0.2 percent in January, down from a 0.3 percent increase in December. On an annual basis, inflation eased to 2.4 percent from 2.7 percent the previous month, marking the lowest year‑over‑year reading since May 2025.
“Today’s inflation report comes on the heels of the jobs report released earlier this week that showed better-than-expected labor market conditions in January,” said Bright MLS Chief Economist Lisa Sturtevant."

February 2026: TRUMP PRESIDENCY Trump’s Taiwan Pact Reshapes Supply Chains and Global Power

Trump’s Taiwan Pact Reshapes Supply Chains and Global Power
"The Trump administration finalized a sweeping trade agreement with Taiwan that cuts tariffs, boosts American exports, and pours hundreds of billions into U.S. industry.
Taiwan agreed to eliminate or sharply reduce tariffs on nearly all

American goods, as duties on U.S. beef, dairy, and corn were reduced immediately to 0%. Pork belly tariffs fell from 40% to 10%, and ham fell from 32% to 10%. Taiwan also removed non-tariff barriers on motor vehicles, medical devices, and pharmaceuticals, accepting U.S. safety standards in those sectors.
The U.S. dropped tariffs on Taiwanese imports to 15% from 20%, a shift that aligns Taiwan with key competitors like South Korea and Japan. Semiconductors and advanced electronics stand at the center of that adjustment.
Taiwan is committed to buying nearly $85 billion in U.S. goods between 2026 and 2029, including $44.4 billion in liquefied natural gas and crude oil, $15.2 billion in civil aircraft and engines, and $25.2 billion in power grid equipment and generators. Rounding out the list are marine and steelmaking equipment.
Taiwanese companies pledged $250 billion in U.S. production across semiconductors, energy, AI, and advanced electronics.
Chinese President Xi Jinping called Taiwan the most important issue in China-U.S. relations during a recent call with President Donald Trump, pressing for prudent handling of arms sales and warning against deeper ties.
Taiwan President Lai Ching-te, however, described the pact as pivotal for the island's economic future, urging closer trade alignment with democracies such as the United States, Japan, and European partners over a deeper reliance on China.
Over 70% of global advanced chip production depends on Taiwan, as shifting capital and facilities toward American soil reduces exposure to geopolitical shocks. Industrial clusters anchored in American states simultaneously strengthen national security and economic leverage."

EPA Repeals the ‘Holy Grail of the Climate Change Religion’: Move Will Lower Energy Costs, Car Prices
"EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on Thursday repealed the endangerment finding ruling, calling it the “largest act of deregulation in the history of the United States,” which will save Americans billions of dollars in hidden taxes every year.
Zeldin formally rescinded what is known as the “endangerment

finding,” which provided the legal basis for the federal government to regulate greenhouse gas emissions such as carbon dioxide and methane.
He said that the Endangerment Finding never made a “straight-line conclusion” that carbon dioxide from motor vehicle engines causes “endangerment.” He called the Endangerment Finding the “holy grail of the climate change religion.” It created the legal basis for the agency to regulate greenhouse gas emissions, in the belief that the emissions are an alleged threat to public health and welfare.
"With this proposal, the Trump EPA is proposing to end sixteen years of uncertainty for automakers and American consumers. In our work so far, many stakeholders have told me that the Obama and Biden EPAs twisted the law, ignored precedent, and warped science to achieve their preferred ends and stick American families with hundreds of billions of dollars in hidden taxes every single year. We heard loud and clear the concern that EPA’s GHG emissions standards themselves, not carbon dioxide which the Finding never assessed independently, was the real threat to Americans’ livelihoods. If finalized, rescinding the Endangerment Finding and resulting regulations would end $1 trillion or more in hidden taxes on American businesses and families."
