Historically Presidents have attended and they and the press engaged in good natured jokes and sparring. But things have grown so hostile between President Trump and much of the mainstream media, that he didn't attend last year. But this year President Trump and the always elegant Melania attended and so did all kinds of government officials like Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and the Speaker of the House.

Well, after everyone was seated but before the event really began, a young man with a shotgun, a handgun and several knives sprinted past the metal detector checkpoint at the entrance to the hotel, but outside the ballroom. A uniformed Secret Service officer tried to intercept him and the intruder shot the officer. Other officers pulled their weapons and got off several shots, but didn't strike the individual, who was finally tackled by more Secret Service agents and handcuffed.

The Secret Service immediately hustled President Trump, Vice President Vance and the others out of the ballroom and all the guests (mostly prominent reporters) were told to get down and shelter under their tables. When it was clear that there were no more attackers, the ballroom was evacuated.

The attacker has been identified as 31 year old Cole Thomas Allen of Torrance California. Not a whole lot is known about him. He apparently worked as a teacher in a private tutoring service of some kind. His motive for attacking the dinner are unknown at this time. (But given President Trump's presence at the event, it isn't hard to guess.) He did make a $25 donation to Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, but he has almost zero presence on X.

The Secret Service Officer who was shot was wearing a body armor vest and reportedly is in good condition.

Right now, the FBI and local police are swarming the address linked to Cole Allen in Torrance CA.]]>

There was a time when I was curious about the damn book myself, so I bought it at local bookstore. They had more than one copy for sale. It’s a (inter)national chain and next time I go in there I’m going to look for it. I just wanted to know some history. Bothers me that people can invade the man’s privacy to punish him. It’s bloody well disgusting behavior and they should all be forced to resign.

Maher went after the left for refusing to disapprove of those among them who are clearly “insane,” explaining that “their cowardice in not marginalizing their own crazies has been their downfall.”

“I couldn’t get Neil deGrasse Tyson — a genius, scientist, and pre-eminent scientific voice in the media — to agree that it was ridiculous for Scientific American and the Atlantic to be claiming that separating sports by sex doesn’t make sense. Yes, it does,” he said. “Actually it makes perfect sense.”

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians & international experts, with oversight & supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed & chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern & efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity & hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff & access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza & those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Baptiste Friscourt
Jun 11, 2025

  "After confirming the existence of a fake reverse engineering program set up by the Air Force for dubious purposes, he admitted that the AARO had failed to identify the advanced platforms observed by witnesses in 'less than 40%' of cases. Given the large number of reports collected by the AARO in recent years, this figure raises questions about the number of violations of US airspace. He added :

“There's some phenomenon out there that we just don't understand”, mentioning “fiery orbs”:

“When we start seeing like a corona or a discharge, a plasma discharge, and when we've had some of these really, really strange events from the reports of the security personnel on site, these devices attempted to conceal themselves. And in one case, when a truck from the main side was coming out onto the range, this device stopped, hovered, went off the road and turned its friggin lights off.”

He stated that, in his view, this behavior proved that these platforms were controlled by humans. One might wonder how this could be the case, given that no stable technology of this type exists, while elusive behaviors exhibited by advanced platforms have been documented for centuries.

When asked by Steven Greenstreet what he found most strange, Philips replied:

“The black triangles, that there were some reports from credible people, where they saw something, and they saw a flying vehicle, triangular in shape”

He specified that the craft did not emit much heat or sound. Black triangles are shapes often associated with advanced platforms, particularly since the historical works of David Marler. (see video interview below).

About these black triangles, Steven Greenstreet asked him:

“Are you looking at them? Are you looking at photos, videos or are you just reading a report?”

Philips responds immediately to “all of the above” , implying that he has witnessed these objects himself, has seen images of them and has read investigation reports about them. This suggests that the Air Force's fake UFO program is indeed concealing a real national security issue.

When discussing the technical characteristics of these objects, he even specified:

“There are some spooky things in places they shouldn't be, with performance characteristics that we couldn't duplicate today”

Such an admission of inferiority from a former American official is rare, and it is proof, if any were needed, of the reality of advanced platforms invading American airspace with total impunity."

  "After confirming the existence of a fake reverse engineering program set up by the Air Force for dubious purposes, he admitted that the AARO had failed to identify the advanced platforms observed by witnesses in 'less than 40%' of cases. Given the large number of reports collected by the AARO in recent years, this figure raises questions about the number of violations of US airspace. He added :

“There's some phenomenon out there that we just don't understand”, mentioning “fiery orbs”:

“When we start seeing like a corona or a discharge, a plasma discharge, and when we've had some of these really, really strange events from the reports of the security personnel on site, these devices attempted to conceal themselves. And in one case, when a truck from the main side was coming out onto the range, this device stopped, hovered, went off the road and turned its friggin lights off.”

He stated that, in his view, this behavior proved that these platforms were controlled by humans. One might wonder how this could be the case, given that no stable technology of this type exists, while elusive behaviors exhibited by advanced platforms have been documented for centuries.

When asked by Steven Greenstreet what he found most strange, Philips replied:

“The black triangles, that there were some reports from credible people, where they saw something, and they saw a flying vehicle, triangular in shape”

He specified that the craft did not emit much heat or sound. Black triangles are shapes often associated with advanced platforms, particularly since the historical works of David Marler. (see video interview below).

About these black triangles, Steven Greenstreet asked him:

“Are you looking at them? Are you looking at photos, videos or are you just reading a report?”
