NYTIMES (Julia Jacobs) - Trump-Led Board Votes Again to Close Kennedy Center for Renovations

The decision will be reviewed by a federal judge who previously said the board had not thoroughly evaluated the president’s plan.

AI:The Kennedy Center board, now under heavy Trump influence, has voted once more to shut down the main building for renovations while simultaneously moving to inscribe Donald Trump's name on the structure. This calculated maneuver attempts to bypass a federal judge's previous ruling that the board failed to properly vet the president's ambitious plan. While left-leaning outlets scramble to frame this as a power grab, it is actually a direct challenge to judicial interference regarding the administration's desire to modernize the facility and honor the presidency. The legal battle now shifts toward whether the courts will permit this renovation project to proceed despite intense opposition from those seeking to block the president's legacy…Open

State of the Union: Iran demands all ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz coordinate safe passage with its armed forces. The post Iran War Day 167: CIA Had ‘Low Confidence’ in ‘Israeli-Derived’ Intel on Iran Assassination Plot, WaPo Reports appeared first on The American Conservative .

The CIA doubted the veracity of a purported threat from Iran to the President’s life during the July NATO summit in Ankara, according to an article published in the Washington Post Wednesday. The information on that threat, which led Trump to secretly leave Air Force One via a catering cart to fly home on a second plane, came from Israel’s spy services (as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week). According to new reporting from the Post, America’s intelligence community did not agree with the Israeli assessment, with one U.S. intelligence official describing the assassination threat as “Israeli-derived, not U.S.-generated, and viewed [by the CIA] as low confidence.” The Pentagon has lost at least 45 MQ-9 Reaper…Open
