US government shutdown: Republicans scramble for last-minute deal – BBC News
The US moved closer to a government shutdown on Thursday, with House Republicans braced to oppose a last-minute proposal forming in the Senate.
Congress faces a deadline of midnight on Saturday to pass a new budget, before thousands of federal employees are placed on unpaid leave.
The Senate has forged ahead with plans for a temporary funding agreement – which House Republicans will oppose.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Peace.
There are factors on a larger scale that seem beyond my reach. How I apply this in my life. Give generous tips for my food when ever possible. Also, be sure that any money spend internationally is transfered into local currency before making my purchase. May God recommends any loses. Devaluating and replacing currency used in fraulant transactions. Being sure our strive is for international peace. Stopping corruption in its tracks. Fortifying the quality of life we are all working. In the name of The Lord for everything. God Bless.

「テロ等準備罪」とは？ (1)組織的犯罪集団が、(2)重大な犯罪を計画し、(3)その計画を実行するために準備行為をした場合、「テロ等準備罪」に該当します。 これにより、実際に犯罪が実行される前に検挙することができ、被害の発生を未然に防止することができます。
What is “crime of preparation for terrorism, etc.”? If (1) an organized criminal group (2) plans a serious crime and (3) takes preparatory acts to carry out the plan, it falls under the crime of "preparing for terrorism, etc." This makes it possible to arrest criminals before they are actually committed, and prevent damage from occurring.

Most shameful irresponsible 'superpower' borrowing more money for 45 day budget extension. Refusing to do their jobs to enact a proper annual budget. Guaranteed in a month they'll repeat this same sad act, as they have become accustomed to. It is beyond pitiful and should be illegal for them to collect pay for work they are not performing, dereliction of duty.

What are the Democrats doing. All they ever want to do is spend more and tax more. Never enough. TERM LIMITS NOW. NO PENSION. Cut federal employees 10% a year and increase productivity. Run it like a business. What a disgrace. They are all compromised at some level just a fact.

All Americans are asking is to Close Our Borders.
Take A Look:
Last year, in 2022, improper and mistaken federal payments totaled $247 billion. That’s about $20.5 billion per month, or more than $675 million every, single day.
What exactly is an improper payment? Federal law defines the term as “payments made by the government to the wrong person, in the wrong amount, or for the wrong reason.”
In other words, a corner grocery store has better accounting controls than our $6.82 trillion U.S. federal government had in 2021.
