Authorities Release Ransom Note In Nancy Guthrie Case

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities have released an early ransom note in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in hopes that someone will recognize the writing style. A second note released Friday indicated Guthrie died shortly after she was kidnapped. Both notes initially went to a Tucson television station days after the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie went missing from her home outside Tucson on Feb. 1. Authorities have not said whether Nancy Guthrie is still alive. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said “we believe these distinctive linguistic characteristics may be recognizable to someone who knows or has interacted with the notes’ writer.”

Spain's Border Invasion Is America's Wake Up Call

In a surprising and alarming event, on July 30th, 60,000 Arab Moroccan Muslims swarmed into the Spanish exclave of Ceuta, dramatically altering its demographic landscape. This border invasion raises significant geopolitical concerns, particularly as Spain, under the leadership of leftist President Pedro Sanchez, has been advocating for open borders and recently announced plans for amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants within its borders. The incident has prompted reactions from other European leaders, such as Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, who is considering withdrawing from the Schengen Agreement's reciprocity with Spain. This event underscores the potential consequences of leftist governance and open-border policies, highlighting the risks of outsourcing national sovereignty to transnational entities. The situation in Ceuta serves as a stark warning for the United States, illustrating what could unfold if similar policies are adopted here. It emphasizes the urgent need to consider the implications of open borders and the importance of maintaining national sovereignty.

First U.S. Refueling Aircraft Arrive At Air Base In Bulgaria To Support Middle East Operations

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — The first two U.S. military aircraft intended to provide support for operations in the Middle East arrived Friday at an air base in southeastern Bulgaria, drawing a complaint from Iran as Bulgarian residents have also been protesting the deployment. The Trump administration has faced pushback from some European allies over the use of air bases in support of its war with Iran. But lawmakers in Bulgaria — a member of NATO and the European Union — voted earlier in July to allow the deployment of up to eight U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft, as well as 250 personnel with personal weapons and ammunition and airfield equipment, at Bezmer Air Base. Under a 2006 U.S.-Bulgaria defense agreement, the Bezmer facility, about 260 kilometers (160 miles) southeast of the capital, Sofia, is a joint-use facility. Any new use of the base requires parliamentary approval. The deployment, requested by the U.S. Embassy in Bulgaria, is authorized until Oct. 1, 2026. U.S. President Donald Trump thanked Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev in a Truth Social post for allowing the deployment “despite Iran’s threats.” On Thursday, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Velislava Petrova assured her Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, that the deployment “in no way means a change in Bulgaria’s approach toward Iran." The two countries are important trade partners. A Bulgarian Foreign Ministry statement quoted Petrova as saying “it was out of the question" that any direct military actions linked to the conflict in the Middle East would be carried out from Bulgarian territory. The statement did not indicate what Araghchi said. But the Bulgarian state news agency, BTA, said Araghchi protested to Petrova over Bulgaria’s support for U.S. military operations against Iran during a telephone conversation initiated by the Bulgarian side. The report cited a report from Iran's state-run IRNA news agency. Residents of the village of Bezmer and nearby settlements, including the regional capital Yambol, have staged peaceful protests in recent days against the deployment of the U.S. aircraft. Government officials visited the region to address people’s fears, assuring them that the deployment is solely for logistical missions involving in-flight refueling outside Bulgarian airspace.

Trump Says Iran Not To Blame For Minnesota Cyber Attacks

CAMP DAVID, Maryland, July 31 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump at Camp David told reporters that he does not think Iran is behind a cyberattack on Minnesota water systems, despite U.S. officials reportedly suspecting otherwise. "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack, and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so," Trump said during a cabinet meeting. "I think I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent," Trump said, calling out Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, a Democrat. Trump's claim is at odds with a memo cited by Wired on Thursday which said that the Minnesota Fusion Center, a state-level intelligence-sharing entity, found that the hacks were “aligned” with an allegedly Iran-linked cybersabotage campaign. The New York Times, which cited unnamed U.S. and state officials, said Thursday that investigators believed the hacks were probably the work of Tehran.

Trump Issues Warning About Illegal Immigration

President Donald Trump has used his Cabinet meeting at the Camp David retreat in Maryland to discuss his usual talking points about the economy, the border, Iran and immigration. Trump referred Friday to the recent surge of migrants into a tiny territory of Spain and said the same thing is going to happen to the U.S. if Republicans don’t get elected in the midterms. Trump began Friday's meeting by saying, “It’s Camp David, and this room is a very, very special room.” The White House spent the morning highlighting that the meeting was the first televised Cabinet meeting at the storied presidential retreat, which was established in 1942 during Franklin Roosevelt's presidency. While addressing illegal immigration concerns, Trump mentioned the recent migrant invasion in Spain, saying: "That SAME THING is gonna happen to us if Republicans don't get elected except WORSE."

Marine Corps Says F-35B Stealth Fighter Crashed In CA, Pilot Ejected

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Marine Corps says an F-35B jet crashed near a Southern California air base, and the pilot has been taken to a medical facility. The jet went down Friday afternoon near the Miramar Air Base in San Diego. A statement from the U.S. Marines called the incident a “Class A mishap.” That's the most severe mishap category and one that is used when the damage totals more than $2 million, the destruction of a military aircraft, or service member death. The statement did not include any details about the condition of the pilot, other than to say they ejected, were recovered and were being taken to a medical facility. Aerial video from a news helicopter showed a plume of black smoke rising from the wreckage in a dirt field, with multiple military and firefighting vehicles and people standing nearby. What appeared to be white flame retardant material covered the ground, and at least one person was spraying the wreckage with a fire hose. Candace Hadley, a spokesperson for San Diego Fire, said firefighters were on scene to respond to a vegetation fire that sparked near the crash site. She referred additional questions to Miramar. The F-35B is one of several versions of the advanced stealth fighter jet that is flown by the Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. The “B” version has an engine that is designed for short takeoffs and is capable of vertical landings.

Trump Says Israel 'Very Happy' With Gaza Disarmament Agreement

CAMP DAVID, MARYLAND July 31 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said Friday that Israel was "very happy" with an agreement reached by his so-called Board of Peace for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups in Gaza. "We do have an understanding with Israel. Israel is very happy about it. Israel helped us, and they've been very good," Trump said. "Will it go through its ups and downs? It's a very complex situation over there." Trump called the agreement a major breakthrough, saying nobody had thought it would be possible to disarm Hamas. "It's a big step for the Middle East, and people are really impressed by it, and they're surprised by it." On Thursday, Trump called the deal a "major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan" to end Israel's war in ?Gaza. The president also said the deal would be carried out in phases, with Israeli forces withdrawing as disarmament proceeds and an International Stabilization Force working with a new Palestinian police force to secure the enclave.
