A Big Day for Panama

Happening now--José Raúl Mulino, president-elect of Panama, just confirmed that the U.S. signed a deal to begin removing migrants in Panama at a bilateral meeting over the weekend, one day ahead of Mulino's official inauguration.

► DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas led the delegation to Panama on Sunday and attended Mulino's inauguration today.
► This deal is part of Mulino's campaign promise to "shut down the Darien Gap".
► The Biden administration said in a statement that the two countries will "jointly reduce the number of migrants being cruelly smuggled through the Darien, usually en route to the United States."
► "The United States will support Panama’s efforts to begin the swift, safe, and humane repatriation of migrants who do not have a legal basis to remain in Panama," according to the statement.

Julio Alonso, a Panamanian security expert, Told AP in May that it is unknown what Mulino could actually achieve:

“This would be a radical change to Panamanian policy in terms of migration to avoid more deaths and organized crime using the route... In Panama, there is no kind of suppression with this situation, just free passage, humanitarian aid that didn't manage to reduce the number of assaults, rapes, homicides, and deaths along the Darien route,” Alonso said. Mulino's proposal is “a dissuasive measure, yes, [but] whether it can be completely executed we will see.”

Captagon, Qatar, and Quiet Power Plays: What’s Really Going On in the Middle East Right Now?

Chuck Holton | From Jerusalem

I'm coming to you from my balcony in Jerusalem, just a stone’s throw from the Old City. It’s always good to be back in the land—especially when there’s this much going on.

Today’s update has a lot of layers: drug trafficking, terror funding, Arab clan leaders turning against the Palestinian Authority, and Qatar playing puppet master behind the scenes. We’re going to peel it all back, so buckle up.


The Houthis’ New Hustle: Peddling Captagon

Let’s start with the Houthis—Yemen’s Iranian-backed rebel thugs—who’ve found themselves running low on funding. Their pipeline of weapons and money from Iran and Russia is starting to dry up, and when the usual donors pull back, these groups always seem to get creative.

Their new revenue stream? Captagon.

If you’ve never heard of it, Captagon is a powerful stimulant. Originally created in the ‘60s for treating ADHD and narcolepsy, it was banned in most countries by the 1980s due to how addictive it was. But like any bad idea, it’s made a comeback—especially in the Middle East. Today’s version is an unpredictable cocktail of amphetamines, caffeine, and God knows what else. It might keep you awake for 48 hours… or stop your heart. Literally.

Captagon became one of Syria’s most lucrative exports under the Assad regime. Countries like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the UAE are regularly seizing millions of pills hidden in cargo trucks. Now, it seems the Houthis have entered the trade—either producing or trafficking the pills to fund their terror operations.

And no, these aren’t being whipped up in clean pharmaceutical labs. Think barnyards and basements. If the Houthis are making it, you'd be nuts to put it in your body.

The implications? Huge. Captagon isn’t just a vice—it’s a weapon. Militant groups have used it for years to suppress fear and exhaustion in combat. It’s how you get someone to run into gunfire like a zombie.

Two Americans Wounded in Gaza – What You’re Not Hearing on the News

Two U.S. aid workers were injured in a grenade attack today while distributing food in Khan Younis, Gaza. These weren’t just any volunteers—they were highly decorated American veterans working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an organization providing food directly to Palestinian civilians without funneling it through Hamas.

The attackers? They stepped out of a crowd, threw Iranian-made grenades at the aid workers, then disappeared back into the civilians. Why? Because they wanted a reaction. Hamas and its affiliates know that if American aid workers respond with force, it creates the exact kind of propaganda they can use to stir more hate.

The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the attack was

a hostile act suspected to have been carried out by Hamas gunmen by throwing a hand grenade.”

The Palestinian group has not issued a statement responding to the claims.

Set Free for a Reason
A Message to Men Who Still Think Freedom Means Doing Whatever You Want

 

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
— Galatians 5:1

Let’s talk about freedom.

Not the watered-down, feelings-first version you see in Super Bowl ads. I’m talking about real freedom—the kind that takes guts to live out. The kind Jesus died to give you.

The Apostle Paul didn’t mince words. He said Christ set you free—for freedom. Not for laziness. Not for self-indulgence. Not to chase comfort. He set you free so you could finally live the way you were meant to live: with strength, discipline, clarity, and purpose.

But most men in America? We’ve settled for a counterfeit version of freedom. And it's wrecking us.


You Want to Be Free? Start With This: Discipline Yourself.
