31·23 hours agoNot really sure what to make of this, to be honest. I looked through presidential records and couldn’t find any other “anti-communism week” declaration. I know that “Loyalty Day” has been declared every year since the second Red Scare.
Why did he declare it at the end of the week? Why did he only specify 2025 in the declaration? I can’t find any mainstream news articles explaining the proclamation. Trump didn’t even post about it on truthsocial.
In 2017, Trump proclaimed November 7 to be “National Day for Victims of Communism”. The date was chosen in relation to 1917 Soviet Revolution. Why was it upgraded from 1 day to a whole week?

I don’t see a similar proclamation made by Biden, Obama, or Bush. Ron Desantis has designated November 7 to be “Victims of Communism day” in Florida each year since 2022, but not nationally.

This is the official translation provided by DPRK. They own every website with the .kp TLD.
I would think ‘cognition against the enemy’ is referring to their perception of the US military actions in the region. It says that they are upset about the aircraft carrier ‘George Washington’ arriving in the region. Counteraction means that they want to retaliate against the US military drills. DPRK considers the US/ROK/Japan military drills to be practice for an invasion of North Korea, ie provocation.
The pamplets account also promotes patsoc ACP.

I’m disappointed that China delayed the rare earth export controls. It seems like China isn’t getting much in return.
This might sound like a lib take, but I suspect he might be feeling jealousy of Kim Jong Un. A reporter mentioned North Korea’s missile tests yesterday. For over a week, Trump teased the idea that he would meet with Kim during his Asia trip this week. Earlier today, Trump said that plans to meet with Kim had been canceled due to scheduling. I suspect that Kim rejected Trump’s offer to meet. Trump also announced today that the US would be building a nuclear-powered submarine for South Korea.
It is my understanding that Kim Jong Un liked Trump as a friend but also knows that Trump has a policy of aggression towards DPRK. Trump is a fake friend to Kim basically. In a press release from Kim Yo Jong, she suggested that Trump was trying to be Kim’s friend only to trick DPRK into denuclearization.

https://hexbear.net/post/3054729It is true that Trump, when he was president, tried to reflect the special personal relations between the heads of states in the relations between states, but he did not bring about any substantial positive change.
He that puts on a public gown must put off a private person. The foreign policy of a state and personal feelings must be strictly distinguished.

https://hexbear.net/post/5690704I do not want to deny the fact that the personal relationship between the head of our state and the present U.S. president is not bad.
However, if the personal relations between the top leaders of the DPRK and the U.S. are to serve the purpose of denuclearization, it can be interpreted as nothing but a mockery of the other party.
Here’s the clip where Trump is asked about DPRK’s recent missile tests. Western media has reported a claim the DPRK chose to fire the missiles around the same time that Trump’s plane landed. I’m doubting this claim, DPRK did perform missiles but I’m doubting the relation with the plane landing, though DPRK does typically performing missile tests in response to South Korea military drills.
Trump tells the reporter “he’s been launching missiles for decades”. Then teases that idea of meeting with Kim soon. Trump later said that the meeting is canceled.
It is real. I made the truthsocial link into an archived URL so people didn’t have to visit truthsocial. Visit truthsocial at your own risk. It’s Trump’s website.

The image says “Note: See page 126 for the preferred sign.” Your screenshot is saying that this gesture is not correct to use. It’s teaching people to not use it.
I found an old article. It seems like the signs were changed around 1993.

I think it’s more suited for a gossip-type comm. It’s in the same vein as celebrity news. Emiru is the top woman streamer on Twitch right now, rank #48, averages 20,000 live viewers. (Yes, the top 40 streamers are all men currently) Mizkif is rank #68.
Indiatimes is tabloid like Dexerto or TMZ.
They were both colleagues with Asmongold and work for the company that Asmongold helped create, called OTK. I don’t think Emiru agreed with Asmongold politically, she just does cosplay makeup or something. Mizkif was a WoW streamer. This is the third incident in my memory of OTK being tied to sexual assault. In 2022, Mizkif was accused of covering up a sexual assault committed by CrazySlick (not a streamer anymore). In 2024, OTK member Tectone was accused of sexual assault by his girlfriend; Tectone left OTK and is now a far right MAGA streamer. In 2025, Asmongold left OTK because of his far right political streams.
Emiru was also assaulted at Twitchcon last week.
Reporter: How did you manage to find somebody to pay for our troops during the shutdown?
Trump: He’s a great gentleman. He’s a great patriot. He’s obviously a very substantial man and he contributed $130 million toward the military in order to make up any difference… he doesn’t want publicity. He doesn’t, you know, he’d prefer, I think, that his name not be mentioned. And he’s a big supporter of mine.
Reporter: Is it an American citizen?
Trump: It is. Great American citizen

Donor Who Gave $130 Million to Pay Troops Is Reclusive Heir to Mellon Fortune
Timothy Mellon is a billionaire and a major financial backer of President Trump.
Timothy Mellon, a reclusive billionaire and a major financial backer of President Trump, is the anonymous private donor who gave $130 million to the U.S. government to help pay troops during the shutdown, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump announced the donation on Thursday night, but he declined to name the person who provided the funds, only calling him a “patriot” and a friend. But the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the donation was private, identified him as Mr. Mellon.
Shortly after departing Washington on Friday, Mr. Trump again declined to identify Mr. Mellon while talking to reporters aboard Air Force One. He only said the individual was “a great American citizen” and a “substantial man.”
“He doesn’t want publicity,” Mr. Trump said as he headed to Malaysia. “He prefer that his name not be mentioned which is pretty unusual in the world I come from, and in the world of politics, you want your name mentioned.”
The White House declined to comment. Multiple attempts to reach Mr. Mellon and representatives for him were unsuccessful.
Mr. Mellon, a wealthy banking heir and railroad magnate, is a longtime backer of Mr. Trump and gave tens of millions of dollars to groups supporting the president’s campaign. Last year, he made a $50 million donation to a super PAC supporting Mr. Trump, which was one of the largest single contributions ever disclosed.
A grandson of former Treasury Secretary Andrew W. Mellon, Mr. Mellon was not a prominent Republican donor until Mr. Trump was elected. But in recent years, he has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into supporting Mr. Trump and the Republican Party.
Mr. Mellon, who lives primarily in Wyoming, keeps a low profile despite his prolific political spending. He is also a significant supporter of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who also ran for president last year. Mr. Mellon donated millions to Mr. Kennedy’s presidential campaign and has also given money to his anti-vaccine group, Children’s Health Defense.
The Pentagon said it accepted the donation under the “general gift acceptance authority.”
“The donation was made on the condition that it be used to offset the cost of service members’ salaries and benefits,” Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said in a statement.
Still, the donation appears to be a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits federal agencies from spending money in excess of congressional appropriations or from accepting voluntary services.
It remains unclear how far the donation would go toward covering the salaries of the more than 1.3 million troops who make up the active-duty military. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the Trump administration’s 2025 budget requests about $600 billion in total military compensation. A $130 million donation would equal about $100 a service member.

This is the house or compound of Yasser Abu Shabab in Southern Gaza, according to Sky News, 3 weeks ago. Notice how his house hasn’t been attacked, unlike most of Gaza.
Gustavo Petro gave a speech to a large crowd about the OFAC sanctions placed on him. I can’t find an article in English. Radio Nacional de Colombia is Colombia public radio.
Last month Gustavo Petro gave a speech at the UN in New York, calling for Nations to form “powerful army” to stop the genocide in Gaza. "We need a powerful army of the countries that do not accept genocide,” “That is why I invite nations of the world and their peoples more than anything, as an integral part of humanity, to bring together weapons and armies.”
After giving his speech, Petro joined a group of Pro-Palestinian protesters outside of the UN building, including Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.
The US responded by revoking his US diplomatic visa. Petro posted to twitter that it did not bother him.
Treasury is claiming that “cocaine production in Colombia has exploded to record high rates”. I’ve only heard that cocaine quality has been shit in recent years.
My guess is that those attacks were meant to implicate Colombia after Colombia came out in support of Gaza.
For me, greens has to have pork fat, a bit of sugar, and apple cider vinegar. savory/salty/sweet/tangy. Not a fan of chili flakes or hot sauce in greens.
