Trump’s renewed criticism of the Chagos deal is reportedly because he is being blocked from using UK bases for a strike on Iran.

Donald Trump has withdrawn his backing for Sir Keir Starmer’s Chagos Islands deal because he has not received UK approval to use its military bases for a US strike on Iran, it has been reported.

The US president attacked the agreement to hand sovereignty of the islands to Mauritius and lease back the Diego Garcia joint UK-US military base as “a big mistake”.

His latest U-turn on his previous support for the deal is because of the UK Government’s refusal to give the White House the green light to use the Diego Garcia base or RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire for a potential military campaign against Iran, according to the Times.

Trump's move, which also seeks ‘immunity’ for makers, faces backlash from health advocates and MAHA coalition

Donald Trump has signed an executive order protecting production of glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup, which some bodies and studies have linked to cancer and which are the subject of widespread US litigation.

The president’s move, which also seeks to provide “immunity” for makers of the herbicides, was strongly criticized by health and environmental advocates including some figures in the Make America Healthy Again (Maha) coalition.

The order also protects domestic production of phosphorus, which is used in making glyphosate and other agricultural chemicals, as well as a range of other products, including some in military defense.

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes than people living closer to sea level. But the mechanism of this protection has remained a mystery. Now, researchers at Gladstone Institutes have explained the roots of the phenomenon, discovering that red blood cells act as glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions like those found on the world's highest mountaintops.

In a study in the journal Cell Metabolism, the team has shown how red blood cells can shift their metabolism to soak up sugar from the bloodstream. At high altitude, this adaptation fuels the cells' ability to more efficiently deliver oxygen to tissues throughout the body, but it also has the beneficial side effect of lowering blood sugar levels.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharply criticized the so-called “God-hating left” and stressed the importance of “Western Christian” values during his keynote address at a Christian communicators conference in Nashville, Tennessee. The rhetoric drew attention from attendees and sparked political debates about the role of religion in the Army.

“The god-hating and divisive DEI has disappeared, gender equality and quotas have disappeared, worship of climate change as a God has disappeared. We are one Army, one fighting force, one nation under God. We are not in a world where the woke rules – we believe in God.”

– Pete Hegseth

Alexis Wilkins, a country singer, performed the national anthem before Hegseth’s remarks.

The 101st Airborne Division did not respond to requests for comment on the event as the matter was being considered.

What is the point of putting Research & Design Funding into Guidance Systems when we already have Jesus, the most effective Guidance System on Earth?

Ok ok you say that is probably hyperbole but have YOU ever seen Jesus malfunction as a Guidance System? Nope, I mean at least I can't think of any examples. None at all. Zip. Zero.
