Trump-endorsed candidate Marty O’Donnell advanced in a crowded GOP primary race to face off against Democratic incumbent Rep. Susie Lee in Nevada’s 3rd congressional district.

O’Donnell is best known as the composer for the popular «Halo» and «Destiny» video game franchises and has run his campaign on putting «families first,» as well as promoting small businesses and community safety.

The district is among Nevada’s most fiercely contested battlegrounds, with its suburban electorate often deciding close races. President Donald Trump carried the district in 2016 and again in 2024, while former President Joe Biden flipped it in 2020.

O’Donnell entered the primary with major GOP backing after securing endorsements from Trump and Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo.

«Susie Lee wants Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, Transgender for Everyone, Defund the Police, and wants to take away your Second Amendment, meaning, your guns. Sadly, she voted against the Biggest Tax Cut in History (including NO TAX ON TIPS!), and fought ferociously to knock out Rural Healthcare, a big factor in Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District,» wrote Trump in his endorsement on Truth Social in April.

«In contrast, Marty O’Donnell is a World-Class Composer and Entrepreneur who knows the America First Policies required to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote NO TAX ON TIPS, Advance MADE IN THE U.S.A., and Champion our Nation’s Golden Age. As your next Congressman, Marty will fight tirelessly to Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment,» said Trump.

The video game composer has compared the battles against «woke» ideology in both video games and politics during his run for Congress.

«I believe the enthusiasm for the re-release of the original ‘Halo’ is in large part due to the wokification of the gaming industry,» he wrote in 2025 of «woke» ideology in gaming. «After years of gamers fighting the infiltration of DEI in the industry, we are finally winning.»

«I saw firsthand the beginning of DEI in the industry,» he continued, describing how the industry has faced backlash over games that alienated players with identity politics. «How did gamers react to having things forced on them by non-gamers developing these characters in the studio? They revolted.»

The «Halo» games, centered on humanity’s war against alien invaders, have sold tens of millions of copies, becoming one of the most recognizable and enduring video game franchises since 2001.

The large suburban electorate voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election even as Lee narrowly won the congressional race — a seat she has held since 2019.

Lee, a former second-grade teacher, has strongly opposed Trump’s call to eliminate the Department of Education, advocating instead for increased federal funding for public schools, special education and after-school programs.

The self-proclaimed moderate Lee also campaigned on the cost of living and healthcare, pushing to lower costs for families.

O’Donnell supports strict border control, a finished border wall and targeting human and drug trafficking.

Lee has occasionally supported tougher border-security measures but is against Trump’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship and has criticized some aspects of his immigration policies.

Her election came amid concerns from voters about surging crime, especially extortion by violent organized crime gangs. Fujimori has pledged to act tough on crime with an «iron fist.»

She is the daughter of the late Alberto Fujimori, the former president whose government in the 1990s defeated the Shining Path extremist rebel group but also took an authoritarian turn.

He was convicted in 2009 of human rights abuses in the fight against the rebels and, later on, corruption charges. His legacy within Peru remains deeply divisive.

¿Rusia planea atacar Polonia? Estados Unidos lanzó una advertencia y crece la inquietud en Europa

Published

on


El presidente de Rusia, Vladimir Putin, tiene serias dificultades en su frente militar con Ucrania y un fuerte cambio de opinión de la ciudadanía rusa hacia su régimen. Para compensar estos serios problemas, Moscú estaría planeando un ataque contra Polonia para poner a prueba la determinación de la OTAN.

La infraestructura crítica polaca podría ser blanco de misiles y drones, o los soldados rusos podrían cruzar la frontera hacia territorio de la OTAN.

Advertisement

El diario británico The Telegraph dio este viernes la primicia. Washington ha emitido varias advertencias a Varsovia sobre el complot, según informaron a Onet, el medio de comunicación polaco, propiedad de Axel Springer, junto con The Telegraph, y que forma parte de su Red Global de Reporteros.

“Rusia planea una «provocación» armada en territorio polaco para poner a prueba la determinación de la OTAN”, advirtió Estados Unidos.

Justo cuando el presidente norteamericano Donald Trump, en su red social, ha criticado a los aliados de la OTAN por el gasto en defensa, calificando de «ridícula» la estructura actual de la alianza.

Advertisement

También dijo que el apoyo de EE. UU. no estará garantizado si no hay mayores contribuciones.

La infraestructura crítica polaca, que hoy tiene las fuerzas armadas más poderosas de Europa y no descarta armarse nuclearmente, podría ser blanco de misiles y drones.

Los planes del Kremlin

Advertisement

El objetivo de la provocación rusa sería aumentar las tensiones y obligar a los aliados occidentales a suspender la ayuda a Ucrania. Podría lanzarse en cuestión de meses.

Fuentes de seguridad polacas tampoco han descartado un ataque más convencional, como una pequeña incursión terrestre de soldados rusos en el flanco oriental de la OTAN.

Según las fuentes de seguridad de Onet, los escenarios de provocación podrían incluir un ataque con drones contra infraestructuras críticas, como centrales eléctricas, o simulacros de ataques aéreos que obligarían a Polonia a activar sus sistemas de defensa aérea.

Advertisement

Una fuente de inteligencia polaca afirmó que, en el escenario más extremo, podría producirse un «ataque híbrido en la región fronteriza». La misma fuente indicó que era concebible una incursión armada con soldados rusos o bielorrusos.

Putin necesita mostrar una victoria

Rusia podría presentar esto como una entrada accidental en territorio polaco debido a un fallo del GPS, o como una dudosa misión de rescate para recuperar un helicóptero averiado.

Rusia contaría con que, en lugar de abrir fuego contra soldados rusos o bielorrusos en tal situación, Polonia se vería obligada por Estados Unidos a negociar con Rusia o Bielorrusia, en vez de responder con contundencia, según informaron fuentes polacas a Onet.

Un escenario en el que los rusos se retirarán de Polonia como resultado de esas negociaciones, en lugar de por la fuerza militar, sería visto como una victoria desde la perspectiva de Moscú. Una narrativa que necesita Vladimir Putin.

El fin del apoyo occidental a Ucrania podría incluso ser una exigencia central de Rusia para dichas conversaciones, a cambio de la retirada de Polonia.

Estados Unidos iinforma sistemáticamente a Polonia sobre los nuevos planes rusos para un ataque convencional contra el flanco oriental de la OTAN, del que Polonia no está exenta», declaró una fuente cercana al presidente polaco.

La estrategia

Una segunda fuente, un embajador en uno de los aliados de Polonia en la OTAN, también confirmó que una provocación en uno de los estados bálticos o en Polonia representa un grave riesgo, al igual que una tercera fuente del Ministerio de Defensa polaco.

Una cuarta fuente de seguridad báltica confirmó a The Telegraph que dichos planes se estaban debatiendo en Moscú. Rusia podría entonces intentar alegar posteriormente que la provocación fue llevada a cabo por Ucrania.

Advertisement

Cualquier ataque terrestre por parte de Rusia podría llevarse a cabo desde Kaliningrado, el enclave ruso al norte de Polonia, que alberga armas nucleares, o desde Bielorrusia, al este.

Estos métodos son el único medio realista que tiene Rusia para provocar una acción. Debido a que sus fuerzas están desplegadas en Ucrania, carece de la capacidad para librar una guerra a gran escala contra aliados de la OTAN.

Si bien Polonia sigue siendo un firme aliado de seguridad de Ucrania, las relaciones se han tensado en los últimos meses debido a las diferentes visiones sobre la historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la competencia entre los sectores agrícolas de ambos países. Se teme que Moscú intente ampliar esta brecha.

El rol de los países bálticos

Según The Telegraph, un reciente ejercicio naval en Letonia, en el que la Armada y la Infantería de Marina de EE. UU. desempeñaron un papel central, tenía como objetivo recordar a Moscú que cualquier ataque en el flanco oriental sería, de facto, un ataque contra las tropas estadounidenses.

En el peor de los casos para la OTAN, el objetivo de Rusia sería socavar la soberanía polaca, exponer a la OTAN como un tigre de papel y forzar su retirada.

En Ucrania, «Vladimir Putin no tiene un plan de victoria». Esta es la conclusión del diplomático de mayor rango de Estonia, Jonatan Vseviov. Según afirmó, Vladimir Putin, ante importantes dificultades, jamás podrá alcanzar los objetivos que se ha fijado en Ucrania.

Advertisement

Las Fuerzas Armadas polacas están compuestas por más de 292.000 efectivos en servicio activo. Lo forman cinco ramas principales: las Fuerzas Terrestres, la Armada, la Fuerza Aérea, las Fuerzas de Operaciones Especiales y la Fuerza de Defensa Territorial, todas ellas bajo el mando del Ministerio de Defensa Nacional de Polonia.

Según el Instituto Internacional de Investigación para la Paz de Estocolmo (SIPRI), Polonia destinó 46.800 millones de dólares a su presupuesto de defensa en 2025, situándose en el puesto 14 a nivel mundial en cuanto a gasto militar.

El artículo 5 de la OTAN

Advertisement

El compromiso de la OTAN podría aplicar su artículo 5 si Rusia ataca a Polonia.

El Artículo 5 del Tratado del Atlántico Norte establece que “un ataque armado contra un miembro de la OTAN se considerará un ataque contra todos los miembros». Esto conlleva la obligación de cada uno de ellos de acudir en su ayuda.

Esta asistencia puede implicar o no el uso de la fuerza armada. Puede abarcar cualquier acción que los Aliados consideren necesaria para restablecer y mantener la seguridad de la zona del Atlántico Norte.

Advertisement

El Artículo 5 de la OTAN es coherente con el Artículo 51 de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, que reconoce que todo Estado víctima de un ataque armado, tiene el derecho inherente a la legítima defensa, individual o colectiva, y puede solicitar ayuda a otros.

En el contexto de la OTAN, el Artículo 5 transforma este derecho de legítima defensa en una obligación de asistencia mutua.

Si bien el Artículo 5 en sí mismo solo se ha aplicado una vez en Afganistán , constituye la base de todas las actividades más amplias de la OTAN en materia de disuasión y defensa, incluidas la realización periódica de ejercicios militares y el despliegue de las fuerzas militares permanentes de la Alianza.

Trump grants pardons to ‘persecuted’ mechanics in right-to-repair crackdown: ‘I am setting them all free’

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump on Friday announced full executive pardons for six people he claims were «persecuted» by the Biden administration for simply «fixing their car.»

In a Truth Social post Friday afternoon, the president took aim at federal prosecutions he characterized as part of the «Weaponization and Stupidity» of the prior administration, saying, «I AM SETTING THEM ALL FREE, RIGHT NOW!»

The pardons align with Trump’s broader push to defend the «right to repair.»

Earlier in the week, he signed a presidential memo designed to make it easier for Americans to repair their own vehicles by protecting self-repair rights and opening up options for aftermarket parts.

The executive clemency is seemingly linked to a federal environmental case involving Elite Diesel Service Inc. and its owner, Troy Lake Sr.

Lake received a full and unconditional pardon Nov. 7, 2025, wiping away his conviction in the case United States v. Elite Diesel Service, Inc. et al.

According to federal plea agreements, Elite Diesel had instructed employees to disable computerized on-board diagnostic systems on at least 344 heavy-duty commercial trucks between January 2017 and December 2020.

The diagnostic systems are federally mandated under the Clean Air Act to monitor emissions control systems.

Lake was sentenced on Dec. 5, 2024, to more than a year in prison and a $2,500 fine. The company was put on probation for five years, ordered to pay a fine of $37,500 and required to make a $12,500 payment to a Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment program designed to repair emissions systems for low-income drivers.

Government prosecutors also argued that Elite Diesel’s co-conspirators, other diesel truck garages and fleets, hired Lake’s company to manipulate the computers so that emission system malfunctions would go undetected, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.

The EPA’s sprawling investigation ultimately swept up eight alleged co-conspirator garages and fleets across seven states, including Kansas, North Dakota and Oklahoma.

The businesses were ordered to pay heavy fines and fund local community service projects, such as buying clean school buses or electric groundskeeping equipment to offset environmental impacts, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

At the time, Biden administration officials defended the criminal prosecutions as essential for public health.

EPA Criminal Investigation Division Special Agent Lance Ehrig accused the defendants of leading a «large-scale conspiracy» that «diminished air quality.»

A study cited by the prosecution claimed the tampered trucks collectively released more than 1,300 tons of excess nitrogen oxides and other pollutants into the air.
