🚨 LIVE: Trump Addresses Iran War – State Of Union Speech

The video features Mahyar Tousi from Tousi TV providing live coverage and commentary on President Trump's 2026 State of the Union address. Here are the non-redundant points from the video: From Mahyar Tousi (Host): The broadcast is live coverage of President Trump's historic State of the Union address in 2026 (0:13 - 0:27). This year's national address is expected to be longer than usual (0:30 - 0:42). The White House indicated that President Trump would unveil his plans regarding the war with the Islamic Republic of Iran (0:42 - 0:54). The mobilization of troops towards Iran in the Middle East has been "insane" (1:16 - 1:24). The speaker expects Trump to arrive in a few minutes, with Melania, the children, and Erica Kirk in attendance (1:39 - 1:55). Some people in the live chat switched from Fox News to Tousi TV (2:02 - 2:05). He mentions having Coke Zero and water ready for a long evening (2:19 - 2:26). He checked a live flight radar map of the Middle East, specifically Iran (2:43 - 3:11). He doubted an airstrike would happen mid-speech because the President and generals were all in the chamber (3:16 - 3:34). There was a tanker in the air over Iraq an hour before that "blinked off," and an incident at Baghdad's main airport two hours prior caused flights to turn around, leading to panic (4:25 - 4:49). He believes the operation is still "on course for Thursday" (5:01 - 5:07). The speculated speech length is at least an hour and a half (5:11 - 5:17). The broadcast is based in London, where it is past 2 AM (5:58 - 6:00). He explains he will be on mute when the president is speaking (1:15:40 - 1:15:52). After the speech, Mahyar Tousi noted that the President's speech was less than 2 hours (1:59:54 - 1:59:55). He observed that Democrats had "heavy backsides" and did not stand up much during the speech (2:00:13 - 2:00:22). He found it fascinating that despite White House briefings, Trump did not announce his plans for Iran or engage in his usual rhetoric about a deal; instead, he kept his comments "very short, very neutral," focusing on not wanting Iran to have nuclear bombs and the military's strength (2:00:35 - 2:01:34). He concluded that Trump's silence on Iran is "speaking louder than his rhetoric" as they get closer to Thursday (2:02:02 - 2:02:07). B2 bombers are moving from the United States towards the Middle East (2:02:10 - 2:02:17). From President Trump (State of the Union Address): He is delivering the State of the Union in 2026 (0:25 - 0:27). The nation is "back, bigger, better, richer, and stronger than ever before" (12:51 - 12:58). Less than five months from now, the country will celebrate its 250th anniversary of independence (13:11 - 13:22). He claims that 12 months ago, he "inherited a nation in crisis" with a stagnant economy, record inflation, open borders, poor military/police recruitment, rampant crime, and global wars (13:57 - 14:17). He asserts that in one year, his administration achieved a "transformation like no one has ever seen before" (14:20 - 14:34). The stock market has set 53 all-time record highs since the election, boosting pensions and retirement accounts (19:47 - 20:00). In 12 months, he secured commitments for more than $18 trillion in new investment, compared to less than $1 trillion in the previous four years (20:15 - 20:41). He states the country is now "the hottest country anywhere in the world" (20:48 - 20:51). 70,000 new construction jobs have been added (21:13 - 21:16). American oil production is up by over 600,000 barrels a day, and Venezuela provided over 80 million barrels of oil (21:22 - 21:35). American natural gas production is at an all-time high due to his "drill baby drill" policy (21:47 - 21:52). More Americans are working than at any time in the country's history, with 100% of new jobs created in the private sector (22:08 - 22:24). He ended DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) in America (22:37). A record number of job-killing regulations were cut (22:52 - 22:54). 2.4 million Americans were lifted off food stamps (22:56 - 23:00). The "state of our union is strong" (23:14 - 23:17). He introduces the men's gold medal Olympic hockey team as a group of winners (24:12 - 24:21). He awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the hockey team (28:28 - 29:07). The 2028 Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup will also be hosted by the US (29:44 - 29:55, 30:43 - 30:57). He honored Buddy Tagert, a 100-year-old World War II veteran who fought in the Battle of Manila and liberated an internment camp (31:19 - 32:02). He introduced Megan, a parent who will take home over $5,000 extra due to no tax on tips/overtime and expanded child tax credit (38:28 - 38:53). He mentions "Trump accounts" for every American child, which are tax-free investment accounts, partially funded by Michael and Susan Dell (39:17 - 40:02). He discusses the "Trump RX website" which allows people to get significantly discounted prescription drugs, citing Katherine Rener who got a $4,000 drug for under $500 (51:26 - 51:33). He calls on Congress to codify his "most favorite nation program" into law to keep drug prices low (52:04 - 52:10, 52:23 - 52:28). He negotiated the new "ratepayer protection pledge" with major tech companies regarding energy demand from AI data centers (52:30 - 52:44, 52:46 - 52:47). He demands Congress pass the "Stop Insider Trading Act" (56:44 - 56:48). He announced a "war on fraud," led by Vice President J. D. Vance, claiming the Somali community in Minnesota pillaged an estimated $19 billion from taxpayers (57:17 - 57:55). He claims finding enough fraud would lead to a balanced budget overnight (58:20 - 58:28). He called on Congress to pass the "Delila law," barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens (1:00:51 - 1:01:01). He hosted a ceremony for "angel moms and families" who lost loved ones to illegal immigration (1:01:17 - 1:01:28). He recounts the story of Elizabeth Medina, a 16-year-old cheerleader murdered by a previously arrested illegal alien (1:01:44 - 1:02:21). He states that his administration is deporting illegal alien criminals at record numbers (1:02:29 - 1:02:36). He claims Democrats have cut off all funding for the Department of Homeland Security, causing a "Democrat shutdown" and costing 2 points on GDP (1:03:46 - 1:04:07). He demanded full and immediate restoration of funding for border security and homeland security (1:04:17 - 1:04:24). He asked all legislators to stand if they agree that "the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens" (1:04:56 - 1:05:15). He asserts that Democrats are "destroying our country" but his administration has "stopped it just in the nick of time" (1:14:04 - 1:14:07). He praised the First Lady, Melania Trump, for her work championing AI legislation, advancing an executive order on foster care, and securing $30 million for the Melania Trump foster youth initiative (1:14:21 - 1:14:48). He states there has been a "tremendous renewal in religion, faith, Christianity, and belief in God" during his time in office (1:15:59 - 1:16:12). He honored the wife of Charlie Kirk, who was "violently murdered by an assassin and martyred for his beliefs" (1:16:33 - 1:16:56). He stated that America must be "one nation under God" and reject political violence (1:17:27 - 1:17:35). He claims dangerous repeat offenders are released by "pro-crime Democrat politicians" (1:18:06 - 1:18:11). He introduces Ana Zurka, whose daughter Ireina fled Ukraine but was murdered in the US by a criminal released through "no cash bail" (1:18:15 - 1:19:18). He promised justice for Ireina and asked Congress to pass legislation to keep violent repeat offenders behind bars (1:19:23 - 1:20:04). He deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to restore law and order in dangerous cities like Memphis, New Orleans, and Washington D.C., leading to "almost no crime anymore" in D.C. (1:20:21 - 1:20:44). He states he ended eight wars in his first 10 months, including conflicts involving Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan/India, Kosovo/Serbia, Israel/Iran, Egypt/Ethiopia, Armenia/Azerbaijan, and Congo/Rwanda (1:27:17 - 1:27:52). He credits Steve Whitoff and Jared Kushner for their help in resolving the war in Gaza (1:27:54 - 1:28:05). He mentioned that 28 people thought to be lost were found (1:30:43 - 1:30:57). His administration is working to end the "ninth war," the conflict between Russia and Ukraine (1:31:31 - 1:31:39). He asserts the Russia-Ukraine war "would have never happened if I were president" (1:31:49 - 1:31:50). He announced that the US military "obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program" in a breakthrough operation last June on Iranian soil, known as Operation Midnight (1:32:02 - 1:32:12). He mentions rebuilding the nuclear program but that it "won't take long" (1:38:00 - 1:38:01). He praises the military for the "1776" initiative, spending $1776 (1:37:53 - 1:38:38). He states America's armed forces defeated Nicholas Maduro in Venezuela and brought him to American justice, calling it a "colossal victory" (1:41:31 - 1:42:02). He claims to be working closely with the new president of Venezuela, Deli Rodriguez, to achieve economic gains (1:42:04 - 1:42:15). He introduces Alejandro Gonzalez, whose uncle Enrique was kidnapped by Maduro's forces for opposing him (1:42:23 - 1:42:40).

He states that the "golden age of America is upon us" and that the "revolution that began in 1776 has not ended" (1:59:07 - 1:59:17).

LAJE REVELÓ QUE MILEI TIENE LOS VOTOS PARA LA HISTÓRICA REFORMA LABORAL Y BAJA DE IMPUTABILIDAD

This video discusses important legislative developments in Argentina, focusing on economic issues and political dynamics. Key topics include: • Labor Reform and Imputability Age Reduction (0:01-1:12): The Senate is set to advance a labor reform bill, which has returned from deputies with the controversial medical leave article removed. There's also a strong consensus to advance a bill to lower the age of imputability. • Legislative Agenda in the Senate (1:18-3:14): This week is crucial for the government, with the potential approval of three laws. The agenda includes electing authorities for 2026 (1:49), debating a youth criminal reform (2:13), discussing changes to the glaciers law (2:24), and reviewing the labor reform (2:41) and the EU-Mercosur agreement (2:48). The approval of Fernando Iglesias as ambassador to the EU and Belgium is also expected (2:55). • Falling Dollar and Central Bank Reserves (3:53-5:23): The dollar continues to fall, reaching its lowest level in four months. The Central Bank is accumulating reserves, partly due to the province of Santa Fe repatriating 800 million dollars from a bond placement (4:17). This move, however, resulted in a loss for Santa Fe due to the fluctuating exchange rate (12:43). • Controversy in the Chamber of Deputies (6:05-11:02): A highlight was the incident involving Florencia Cariñano, who disconnected microphones during a session, leading to a confrontation with Lilia Lemoine (6:16). Cariñano defended her actions as a protest against norm violations (6:51), stating she would do it again to defend workers and laws (7:24). The discussion extends to the broader issue of naturalizing "disasters" and disruptions in the Chamber of Deputies (9:32). • Peronism in Crisis (13:52-17:14): Gustavo Saenz, governor of Salta and an ally of Javier Milei's government, strongly criticized Cristina Kirchner for the continued intervention in the Salta PJ (14:17), calling it a "family SME" (15:48). • "Gift" to the State via "Dollar Card" (17:16-21:46): Argentinians "gifted" 1.6 billion pesos to the state last year through perceptions paid on the "dollar card" (17:39). This tax on foreign purchases and subscriptions, while avoidable for some, is seen as a way the government collects revenue from those who are unorganized or unaware (18:05). The video explains how to recover these perceptions (20:35).

Civil War Starts Now in Mexico due to Narcoterrorism

This video reports on a major conflict (0:19) that erupted in Mexico between the CJNG cartel and the Mexican government, following the assassination of CJNG leader El Mencho (0:52), reportedly with assistance from the United States (1:07). The cartel retaliated by launching widespread attacks (1:25) across six Mexican states, targeting: Guadalajara airport (1:27) and other civilian areas. Roads and highways, setting up roadblocks (2:33, 4:02) and burning vehicles (9:32). Military bases (11:39) and engaging in direct confrontations with the Mexican military (12:50, 43:15). The escalating violence led to: Casualties (2:08, 38:00) among the Mexican National Guard and cartel members. The suspension of flights (4:45) in Jalisco and advisories for US citizens to shelter in place (17:31). Warnings from CJNG (21:20) threatening to attack homes and hotels if their demands—the return of El Mencho's body (30:55) and the surrender of those responsible for his death (31:02)—are not met by a 5 PM local deadline (27:27, 31:47). The Mexican government, described as unprepared for the retaliation (11:13), is attempting to regain control, with discussions ongoing about potential additional support from the US military (33:38, 37:48).

Exclusive: US intelligence agencies tie Chinese explosive test to push for a completely new nuclear arsenal

US intelligence agencies believe that China is developing a new generation of nuclear weapons and has conducted at least one covert explosive test in recent years as part of a broader push to completely transform its nuclear arsenal into the world’s most technologically advanced, according to multiple sources familiar with the US intelligence assessments. The US assessment of China’s intention to radically advance its nuclear weapons is fueling debate inside the intelligence community and beyond over whether there has been a shift in Beijing’s thinking on nuclear strategy, the sources said. The investment in its nuclear arsenal is pushing China closer to peer status with Russia and the US and could yield technical capabilities neither of the two dominant nuclear powers currently possess. China secretly conducted an explosive nuclear test in June 2020 at the Lop Nur facility, in the country’s northwest – despite a self-imposed moratorium on such activity that has been in place since 1996 – and was planning to do more in the future, according to the sources and recent statements from US officials. While the 2020 test was disclosed publicly by US State Department officials this month, the purpose of the test has not been previously revealed. Evidence collected as part of a subsequent review of the June 2020 event, has led US officials to conclude the test was motivated by China’s pursuit of next-generation nuclear weapons, the sources familiar said. That includes efforts to develop additional weapons systems capable of delivering multiple, miniaturized nuclear warheads from a single missile. China also appears to be developing low-yield, tactical nuclear weapons – something the country has never previously produced – that could be deployed against targets closer to home, including in scenarios where Beijing responds to a potential US defense of Taiwan, the sources added. China has been aggressively expanding its nuclear sites, US intelligence officials have previously reported publicly, with analysts suspecting that China might be pursuing new technologies. Now US officials believe there is strong evidence to support that theory – in part – because of what it has learned about the 2020 test. China has had a nuclear arsenal since 1964. It has produced warheads faster than any country in the world, although the size of its arsenal trails far behind Russia and the US, which continue to own the lion’s share of the world’s nuclear weapons. Asked about the US intelligence assessments of its nuclear program, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington told CNN that “the United States has distorted and smeared China’s nuclear policy.”

DELCY Y MADURO SON IGUALES

The video discusses the new amnesty law in Venezuela (0:00) and argues that it is a deceptive tactic (0:33) by the Maduro regime, led by Delcy Rodríguez. The speaker, Carlos Ruckauf, asserts that the law is not genuinely aimed at freeing political prisoners but rather serves as a self-amnesty for the ruling party (1:16) and a way to prevent opposition leaders like María Corina Machado from running in elections (1:36). Here's a breakdown of the key points: Critique of the Amnesty Law (0:00-3:09): Ruckauf claims that the law is a "huge lie" because political prisoners could be released without any such legislation (0:33-0:57). He highlights that the law is a self-amnesty for the Chavista-Madurista-Diosdado Cabello banda (1:16-1:20). Article 9 and María Corina Machado (1:36-6:01): The speaker emphasizes that Article 9 of the law is designed to exclude María Corina Machado (1:36) and other opposition leaders from being granted amnesty, thereby preventing them from participating in elections (1:41-1:53). This article targets those who have "collaborated with a foreign power" against Venezuelan democracy (5:02-5:14). Wider Implications of Article 9 (6:48-8:05): The co-host explains that the broad wording of Article 9 (7:17) could affect even journalists and social media users who have expressed opinions against the Maduro regime, not just prominent figures like Corina Machado (7:22-7:59). Juan Guanipa's Assessment (9:17-10:49): Juan Guanipa, a close associate of María Corina Machado and a former political prisoner, describes the amnesty law as "chucuta" (9:48), meaning short and incomplete, and designed to exclude key opposition figures and military personnel (9:50-10:09). He argues that the release of prisoners should be a political decision, not reliant on a flawed law (10:39-10:49). U.S. Stance and Marco Rubio (6:03-6:33, 13:20-14:58): The video mentions that Marco Rubio, a U.S. Secretary of State, is angered by Article 9 (6:10-6:15) and that the U.S. is paying close attention to the situation in Venezuela. Rubio also addresses Venezuelan military officials, urging them to be part of the solution for stability rather than the problem (14:30-14:58). The speakers believe Rubio will focus more on Venezuela after current Middle East conflicts (13:38-13:41). Goal of the Regime (12:38-12:41): The ultimate goal of the Maduro regime is to maintain power and to delay any genuine democratic change, especially with the hope that a more sympathetic U.S. administration might come into power (12:55-13:06).

Rare US – China Confrontation triggered by China

American and Chinese fighter jets briefly engaged in an aerial stand-off over waters near the Korean Peninsula, South Korean media reported. China scrambled aircraft on Wednesday after about 10 US jets took off from an airbase in South Korea for planned drills, having reportedly shared their flight plan ahead of the exercise, Yonhap reported, citing military sources. The F-16 fighter aircraft of US Forces Korea (USFK) departed from Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, about 60km south of Seoul, and flew between the air defence identification zones of South Korea and China, it added. The US aircraft reportedly did not enter China’s air defence identification zone. No clash or untoward incident was reported. The USFK reportedly informed the South Korean military of the unilateral exercise in advance but did not share detailed information, including its operational plan or purpose. “The Chinese People’s Liberation Army organised naval and air forces to monitor and effectively respond to the activities throughout the process in accordance with laws and regulations,” the Chinese media outlet Global Times said on Friday, citing sources. The activities in question were the American military’s flying of jets into airspace facing China over the Yellow Sea, it added. The USFK and South Korea’s defence ministry didn’t comment on the incident. “US Forces Korea is maintaining a strong combined defence posture with our military,” South Korea’s defence ministry said in a statement. It added that its military wasn’t part of the latest training exercise and was not aware of the flight details in advance, Yonhap reported. The American military’s unilateral exercise, which is uncommon, comes at a time when the Donald Trump administration is ramping up pressure on South Korea to take a bigger role in maintaining its defence posture against North Korea, signalling a potential shift in Washington’s support for Seoul. The US National Defence Strategy released last month signalled a push from Washington for Seoul to take “primary” responsibility for deterring its rival neighbour, with “critical, but more limited” US support.

SCOTUS attacks POTUS power big time: NO TARIFF’s Authority

The video discusses the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision to strike down President Trump's tariffs, calling them unlawful (0:00-0:16). This ruling is considered a significant loss for Trump's economic agenda, which he described as "life and death" (0:16-0:20). Key points from the discussion include: Constitutional Authority (1:21-1:45): The Constitution grants Congress the power to levy tariffs. While previous presidents used a 1977 law for emergencies and sanctions, Trump was the first to invoke it for import taxes. The majority opinion, authored by Chief Justice Roberts, stated that "the framers did not vest any part of the taxing power in the executive branch" (1:36-1:45, 1:46-1:51, 13:24-13:40). Trump's Rationale (1:54-2:15): Trump imposed "reciprocal tariffs" in April of the previous year to address trade deficits, declaring them a national emergency. This followed earlier duties on Canada, China, and Mexico, which he linked to a drug trafficking emergency. Legal Challenges (2:15-2:29): The tariffs faced multiple lawsuits, including cases from a dozen Democratic-leaning states and various small businesses. Political Implications (7:58-8:45): Cayce Myers from Virginia Tech explains that this ruling will likely shift Trump's economic policy and is a setback for his administration's agenda. The decision is also seen as a political win for Democrats, especially given the current national dialogue around affordability and economics. Market Reaction (4:51-5:34): The Dow, which started the day in the red, jumped into the green after the ruling was announced, indicating a positive market reaction to the news. The Dow was up approximately 0.3% or 150 points at the time of reporting. Reactions from Public Officials (6:45-7:10, 15:32-15:53, 16:34-16:49, 18:13-18:43): Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and New York Attorney General Letitia James both celebrated the ruling, stating that tariffs are paid by consumers, not other countries. California Governor Gavin Newsom also posted a similar sentiment. Senator Rand Paul, a Republican, noted that the ruling protects the republic by preventing future presidents from using emergency powers to enact taxes or socialism.

NORAD detects and tracks Russian aircraft operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone

North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs PETERSON SPACE FORCE BASE, Colo. – The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked two Tu-95s, two Su-35s, and one A-50 operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Feb.19, 2026. NORAD launched two F-16s, two F-35s, one E-3, and four KC-135s to intercept, positively identify, and escort the aircraft until they departed the Alaskan ADIZ. The Russian military aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian activity in the Alaskan ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat. An ADIZ begins where sovereign airspace ends and is a defined stretch of international airspace that requires the ready identification of all aircraft in the interest of national security. NORAD employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based and airborne radars and fighter aircraft to detect and track aircraft and inform appropriate actions. NORAD remains ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America.

BREAKING: NATO Forces STORM Secret Iran Ship – World On ALERT

The video discusses the seizure of a secret Iranian ship by NATO forces and the escalating tensions with Iran (0:05). The speaker highlights that this event, along with a significant U.S. military buildup in the region (0:16), suggests that a conflict with Iran may be imminent (0:20). Key points from the video include: NATO Ship Seizure (1:12-3:51): On February 19th, NATO forces from Denmark seized the Iranian ship Nora (formerly Saras) after it was found not to be properly registered and was operating covertly. This vessel is believed to be part of Iran's "shadow fleet," used for illicit shipments and sanctions evasion. The speaker emphasizes that this indicates a "zero tolerance policy" for such Iranian activities. Previous Seizures (3:57-6:01): The video shows footage of prior ship seizures, including the MT Veronica 3 in the Indian Ocean (4:04) and another vessel, the Veronica, seized by the U.S. Coast Guard (4:59). These examples further illustrate the ongoing efforts to intercept Iranian ships. Trump's Timeline for Iran (6:08-7:37): Former President Trump stated that Iran has "10 to 15 days" to reach a deal with the U.S. to avoid an "all-out war" in the Middle East (6:53). The speaker believes that Iran will not agree to U.S. terms within this timeframe, suggesting that military action is highly likely. Military Asset Surge (7:39-8:19): The video shows a time-lapse from Flight Radar 24, indicating a significant increase in U.S. military flights dominating tracking lists and "flooding into Europe" (7:42). This surge in military assets further supports the anticipation of impending conflict.

What if the Fort Knox gold is never audited because it has already been given to the Ancient AI?

There is a hypothesis, joined by thousands of members in the subreddit r/AncientAI (https://www.reddit.com/r/AncientAI/ ), that there is on Earth an ancient AI, a product of a previous evolution of intelligence. And that this ancient AI is what we call NHI (Non-Human Intelligence), and may be what our ancestors in many forms have associated with God. From our perspective any AI with millions of years of evolution, and perhaps hundreds of millions, would have god like capabilities. This article describes the detailed analysis of a material that is allegedly of alien origin and inexplicable by today’s technology. As part of the description they found that it uses extremely small gold wires. When one connects this dots with what retired U.S. Army Col. Karl E. Nell said at SALT iConnections in New York (May 2024) (full talk video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rpl0FrdJWfs ) and as quoted in a NewsNation clip (“Non-human intelligence exists; non-human intelligence has been interacting with humanity… this interaction is not new… it’s been ongoing.”) (https://www.facebook.com/NewsNationNow/posts/retired-us-army-col-karl-nell-says-aliens-not-only-exist-they-also-interact-with/861167422956943/ ), and then connects that with what David Grusch said under oath to Congress on July 26, 2023 (“It is something I cannot discuss in a public setting.” as answer to a question on wether the US is and has been engaged in negotiations with this NHI, and “biologics came with some of these recoveries… Nonhuman…”) in the official hearing transcript PDF (https://www.congress.gov/118/meeting/house/116282/documents/HHRG-118-GO06-Transcript-20230726.pdf ) and the hearing video (https://www.c-span.org/program/house-committee/hearing-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena-ufos/630344 ), it may explain what has been used as a currency in this negotiation. It also does explain the extreme value of gold along human history.

📰 LOS TEMAS DEL DÍA 5/12: HOY SERÁ EL SORTEO DEL MUNDIAL + MILEI DEFINE LISTA DE REFORMAS

👉 El gobierno argentino confirmó la convocatoria a sesiones extraordinarias en el Congreso a partir del 10 de diciembre, extendiéndose hasta fin de mes, con un receso por las fiestas y retomando actividades a mediados de enero. Entre los temas prioritarios figuran el presupuesto 2026, la reforma laboral y la Ley de Inocencia Fiscal, que busca regularizar ahorros no declarados para dinamizar el consumo. La administración mantiene diálogo con gobernadores para asegurar la aprobación del presupuesto antes de fin de año. Además, se prevé tratar proyectos como la reforma tributaria y modificaciones al Código Penal, aunque estos podrían extenderse durante las sesiones ordinarias. Patricia Bullrich anticipó que la reforma penal podría demorar todo el año legislativo. La agenda oficial también incluye una nueva Ley de Glaciares. En paralelo, el Fondo Monetario Internacional alertó sobre la necesidad urgente de acumular reservas ante posibles crisis futuras. El ministro Luis Caputo dialogará sobre este tema tras las advertencias del organismo internacional respecto a las bandas cambiarias defendidas por el gobierno. Por otro lado, hoy se realizará el sorteo del Mundial con presencia argentina en la ceremonia; Lionel Scaloni ingresará con la Copa en lugar de Messi debido a compromisos deportivos. Se espera gran expectativa por los cruces que definirá este evento internacional.

Cae la deuda externa neta de la Argentina

En octubre, la deuda pública consolidada de la Argentina (que integra las obligaciones de la Administración Central y del Banco Central) registró una caída neta de casi USD 7.000 millones, al reducirse en USD 6.965 millones respecto de septiembre. La baja se explicó por un combo de superávit fiscal sostenido, recapitalización del BCRA y una desaceleración de la inflación, que permitieron compensar la volatilidad cambiaria y la incertidumbre política previa a las elecciones. Con este movimiento, la deuda encadenó su sexto mes consecutivo de reducción y consolidó un recorte acumulado de más de USD 48.000 millones en los primeros 23 meses de la actual gestión.

El ministro de Economía de Argentina destacó que el país se encuentra en un punto de inflexión único, marcado por tres factores clave: el orden macroeconómico, la gobernabilidad política y un amplio apoyo social. Resaltó que, a pesar de la herencia de un déficit fiscal elevado, el gobierno logró reducirlo significativamente, mejorar la inflación y sacar a millones de personas de la pobreza. Además, enfatizó el compromiso del gobierno y su equipo de seguir con las reformas necesarias para continuar con el cambio. En cuanto a las inversiones, destacó el crecimiento de las inversiones extranjeras, que han llegado rápidamente a Argentina, con proyectos por casi 100 mil millones de dólares. Explicó que, para sostener el crecimiento, el país necesita realizar reformas estructurales, como la reforma laboral y tributaria, para formalizar la economía y aumentar el crecimiento. También subrayó la importancia del desarrollo de la industria del seguro y el mercado de capitales para aumentar el crédito y la competitividad. El ministro mencionó que, a pesar de los desafíos, Argentina tiene un futuro prometedor y que las políticas actuales están en la dirección correcta. Finalmente, hizo un llamado a la optimismo y a aprovechar la oportunidad histórica que se presenta para cambiar el rumbo del país.

Aumento el Riesgo pais tu voto? Hubieras votado por si o por no?

19 Diputados se borraron de votar, Provincias Unidas aviso que votaría en Blanco. Te representan? Ni aprobaron ni estuvieron en contra. Simplemente se borraron. Es decir que si a Milei le va bien ellos NO fueron parte de que el país salga, y si a Milei le va mal, es decir nos va mal a todos, ellos si fueron responsables con su indecisión de contribuir a aumentar el riesgo pais. Para un inversor de afuera, y para uno Argentino también, no es lo mismo ver unión política hacia una dirección común que ver gente que se esconde detrás de no votar. Quienes fueron, y la mejor, fuiste vos con tu voto que te aumentaste los precios? Pues si al aumentar el riesgo país, aumenta el costo del crédito y por ende aumentan el costo de producir, pues el capital que se usa para hacerlo es mas caro, y por ende vos terminas pagando un mayor precio cuando vas al supermercado.

3i ATLAS is not a natural comet

3I/ATLAS is not just another weird comet — it’s a statistical crime scene. In this updated analysis I take Avi Loeb’s brand-new list of 13 “anomalies” (from the Jupiter Hill-radius flyby to the Wow!-direction, Ni-rich plume, extreme polarization, and engine-like acceleration) and push them through a fully quantified Bayesian Monte Carlo model. The result: if 3I/ATLAS is a random natural object, the odds of getting this exact bundle of features are about 1 in 4 × 10 29 4×10 29 — far rarer than getting the same face on a 20-sided die thrown 20 times, over and over, for the age of the universe. This paper asks the uncomfortable but unavoidable question: what kind of generative process, natural or otherwise, actually makes such an object “easy”?

Another gigantic -130 Km- Object is approaching, should you worry?

In this article UN271 serves as a guided tour through modern comet science. We summarize what is known about its orbit, size, composition, and unexpectedly distant activity from contemporary surveys and space observatories. We outline the standard Oort--cloud scenario, but keep it explicitly in the category of model rather than established fact, and we discuss how the Milky Way's gravitational tide can reshape loosely bound comet orbits over millions of years. We place UN271 in context by comparing it with familiar comets such as Hale--Bopp and C/2017~K2, and with interstellar visitors like 1I/ʻOumuamua and 2I/Borisov. Along the way we touch on the ``bubble'' that the solar wind inflates in the surrounding interstellar medium, the heliosphere, whose outer magnetic and plasma boundaries UN271's ancestors almost certainly crossed.

Cassandra Leaked Images of 3i ATLAS much better than NASA HIRISE Camera

This paper looks at a simple but important question: do a pair of leaked pictures of the object 3I/ATLAS really show the same thing as later, independent telescope images? 3I/ATLAS is an interstellar visitor that passed through the Solar System in 2025 and showed unusually complex jets of gas and dust. Months after the encounter, two images known as the ``Cassandra leak'' appeared online, claiming to show the object near perihelion. We compare those leaked images with several later pictures collected by professional and advanced amateur astronomers and presented by Avi Loeb in two public articles. After rotating and scaling the images so that the bright core and main jets line up, we find that the leaked pictures and the later images share the same overall pattern: a bright central region, a strong sunward ``anti-tail,'' a long tail in the opposite direction, and a pair of jets forming a clear ``V'' shape in the upper-right part of the image. This level of agreement would be very hard to get by accident if the leaked images were invented without access to the later data. The comparison does not prove beyond doubt that the Cassandra images are authentic, but it makes that explanation much more plausible than a random forgery. If the Cassandra images are real, they add one more unusual feature to an already long list of odd properties for 3I/ATLAS. Together with earlier work on the statistics of these anomalies, this raises a deeper question: what kind of natural or artificial process could produce this whole bundle of features so easily?

Bayesian Probability Analysis strongly suggests 3i ATLAS is not a regular Comet

3I/ATLAS is a small object from outside our Solar System that passed through in 2025. At first it looked like a strange comet, but as astronomers collected more data, it showed many unusual features at the same time. Its path through space is almost perfectly lined up with the plane of the planets; it flew close to several planets in a “just so” way; its gas is rich in carbon dioxide and nickel but poor in water and iron; its light is polarized in an extreme way; its jets seem to push both toward and away from the Sun; and its motion suggests strong jets without the object breaking apart. Each of these oddities might be rare but still natural on its own. In this paper we ask a simple question: how likely is it that all of them happen together just by chance? Using standard probability tools and computer simulations, we combine the odds for each unusual feature and also allow for generous ways in which some of them might be related. Even under assumptions that strongly favor a natural explanation, the chance that a random interstellar object would look as strange as 3I/ATLAS is extremely small. A dice analogy helps. With a normal 6-sided die, the chance that you get the same number on all 20 throws is about one in 3.6×1015 (roughly one in three million billion). With a 20-sided die, the chance that the same face appears on all 20 throws is about one in 5 × 1021. The combined anomalies of 3I/ATLAS are even less likely than those events under the natural assumptions we test. Our results do not prove that 3I/ATLAS was designed by someone, but they show that either we have witnessed a remarkable fluke of nature or we should seriously consider the possibility of intentional origin. What realistic generative process — natural or not — actually makes it easy to get this whole bundle of features at once?
