Raytheon Company executives, along with federal, state and local officials, and local business leaders, dedicated new facilities at Raytheon Missile Systems. This is part of a large-scale expansion and modernization project to increase capacity and capability at Raytheon’s Tucson operations.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place in front of newly-built structures that will house many of the 2,000 new employees the company is hiring to support business growth.

New buildings scheduled for completion this year include an advanced testing facility, a multi-purpose building and a customer access center. The expansion is planned for completion in 2020 and includes:

  • New buildings
  • Infrastructure upgrades
  • Engineering and manufacturing enhancements
  • High-powered computing capabilities

Raytheon Missile Systems is designing, engineering, testing and manufacturing some of the most advanced aerospace and defense technologies of today and the future, including missile defense systems, hypersonic missiles and space vehicles. Arizona’s supportive environment for business investment and growth is an enabler of Raytheon’s success.

“Our expansion supports the nation’s military, the security of America’s allies and the U.S., state and local economies. This project validates Southern Arizona’s strengths in innovation, technology and quality of life for our growing workforce, and has been made possible by the strong collaboration and support of government and private sector partners,” said Dr. Taylor W. Lawrence, Raytheon Missile Systems President.

Raytheon’s recent expansion is expected to result in billions of dollars of economic impact throughout Arizona over 10 years. Partners in the expansion include Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, Arizona Commerce Authority, Pima County, City of Tucson, Sun Corridor Inc., Tucson Airport Authority and Tucson Electric Power.

“With more than 500 suppliers around Arizona and a workforce of nearly 12,000 people, Raytheon continues to have a positive economic impact throughout our state. Increasing Raytheon’s infrastructure and job growth in Arizona is a major win for all of us, and the result of solid partnerships statewide,” Ducey said.

“Pima County works with our regional partners to create an environment supportive of innovation and opportunity for Raytheon. Raytheon has been a terrific partner in boosting the economy of Pima County and we appreciate its commitment to our community. These are the high-paying, high-tech jobs every community strives to have,” said Pima County Supervisor Sharon Bronson.

Tactical retreats: Why Venezuela’s revolution still stands: [Once again on the right of poor and oppressed nations to self-determination and sovereignty]

Much more is now known about the events of January 3 than was initially clear. Contrary to the narrative imposed by Western media and repeated mindlessly by some on the left, there was resistance. Testimony from survivors and statements from President Trump himself confirm that the presidential security detail, alongside Venezuelan military units and a contingent of Cuban internationalist fighters, engaged the attacking forces in a firefight. Thirty-two Cuban combatants fell alongside more than 50 Venezuelans in the security forces and presidential guard, who defended the president with their lives.

First, US electronic warfare systems totally disabled the country’s air defenses and communications infrastructure. According to Venezuela’s defense minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez, the US used Venezuela as a “laboratory” for weapons technologies never used before. Padrino is well-known as the military leader who consistently exposed US efforts to corrupt and bribe the military to turn on Maduro and the Bolivarian Revolution, as well as prior US assassination attempts. He personified the country’s “military-civic union” that blocked years of regime change efforts under the banner of “always loyal, traitors never.”

An official Venezuelan account of January 3 still has not been released, given that the country remains militarily surrounded (more on that later). But unofficial reports from witnesses and survivors back up Padrino’s comments. They recount that with all their communications and air defenses knocked out and all electricity in the area blacked out, Venezuela military forces were hit with drones and some kind of sonic weapon that incapacitated soldiers. Instantaneously, they were subjected to rapid and overpowering firepower that resulted in a one-sided massacre, even as they shot back.

In Trump’s State of the Union, he honored the pilot of the first Chinook helicopter, which landed at the presidential compound, carrying the Elite Delta Force units that then conducted the ground operation and kidnapped the president. The helicopter took heavy fire, severely injuring the pilot. The US has also admitted there were additional US casualties, although no deaths.

In preparation for this operation, it has since been revealed that the raid was rehearsed on a full-scale, exact replica of Nicolás Maduro’s compound, built in Kentucky. For weeks, Delta Force commandos practiced “blowing through steel doors at ever-faster paces” and memorizing the layout of corridors and safe rooms. Because Maduro was known to rotate between locations, they launched the operation only after he was confirmed to be at that specific site. Specialized nighttime aviation was provided by a group known as the “Night Stalkers.

The violence did not simply end, though. In leaked communications that have since been confirmed by multiple sources, Delcy Rodríguez revealed that from the first moments of contact on January 3, the Trump administration issued an ultimatum. Rodríguez stated, “The threats started the moment they kidnapped the president. They gave Diosdado, Jorge, and me 15 minutes to respond, or they would kill us.” Any refusal to negotiate, she said, would result not just in kidnapping, but the decapitation and annihilation of the remaining leadership of the Venezuelan state. They also were told that the US military would continue to surround the country. Every statement and every decision they made would be scrutinized as either a sign of compliance or resistance, and their lives could be taken at any moment.

The heavy jowls, that’s the Democratic Politician’s ticket! Proving grounds, or crash test dummies? On Wednesday, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) told CNN that he would support new funding for the U.S. war with Iran — but only if Israel and Arab Gulf states help pay for it.

Oh, so Jews are the only ones allowed to be part of DEI, woke ideology? Jews and Zionists?

Former Goldman Sachs CEO says DEI programs are ‘counterproductive,’ arguing ‘you’re branding the people in that program’

Ahh, Jews get the brass ring: As of March 2026, 37 U.S. states have adopted or endorsed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism through legislation, executive orders, or proclamations. While proponents argue these laws are essential for identifying and combating Jew-hatred, critics often describe them as “draconian” due to concerns that they could be used to suppress free speech or legitimate criticism of the Israeli government.

Trump said he is “not happy” with Iran’s choice of a new supreme leader but that early results from Operation Epic Fury have been “way beyond expectation.”

Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been installed as the next supreme leader.

“I don’t believe he can live in peace,” Trump said

Guadalajara is nicknamed the “Mexican Silicon Valley” due to the high concentration of electronics and IT companies based in the city, including multinationals like Intel, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard, which has given rise to a robust industrial and supply cluster. This is further enhanced by the large number of engineers graduating from its universities, the growth of startups in semiconductors and artificial intelligence (AI), as well as research centers and state policies aimed at attracting investment. These factors have transformed the capital of Jalisco into an innovation hub comparable — more symbolically than literally — to the Californian ecosystem.

You can never trust a Jew or a Turk? Using the regional turmoil sparked by the war against Iran’s clerical regime as a cover, Turkey has deployed six F-16 fighter jets to the occupied part of Cyprus.

Turkey’s March 9 action represents a significant escalation in the militarization of the Eastern Mediterranean. It also raises serious legal questions over the export and end use of U.S.-made military equipment.

Turkey has occupied approximately one-third of Cyprus since its 1974 invasion of the island. The self-declared “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” (TRNC) is only recognized by Turkey. The international community, including the United States and the European Union, recognizes the Republic of Cyprus as the island’s sole legitimate government.

Turkey’s deployment of combat aircraft adds another layer to its already large military footprint in the occupied zone of Cyprus. This consists of tens of thousands of troops, combat drones, and missile capabilities.

Trump the Epstein HD video star — golden showers, blowjobs by children, feces gouging, more — touches everything, not like Midas, but like Honey Bucket Man:

Cuban officials are preparing to withdraw the nation’s medical brigade from Guyana after it moved to provide full salaries to doctors and nurses from the island instead of sending most of the payments to the Cuban government.

Cuban doctors have worked in African, South American and Caribbean nations for decades under diplomatic agreements that earned the Cuban government money while providing medical care in places where it was otherwise scarce. But the Trump administration has sharply criticized it, with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio describing it as forced labor.

Guyana Health Minister Frank Anthony told reporters Monday that Cuban authorities have chosen to end the program after nearly 50 years and recently asked their brigade of more than 200 doctors to prepare to leave the South American nation.

Taking a blood sample from a wild American alligator is not a clinical procedure. North Carolina native Kemp Burdette describes the process as an “all-hands-on-deck” situation. After rolling up on the gator in a boat and tossing a hook and a lead weight tied to a heavy-gauge fishing line across the beast’s backside, you reel until the hook catches and flips the creature. Then comes the all-hands part. Ideally a small group of people tag-team to hold the animal down—it will chill out, but just watch for the tail—drape a towel over its eyes, duct tape its mouth, and prick between the thick armor with a needle.

“Alligator jaws have an incredible amount of crushing force but not very many pounds of opening force,” Burdette says. “You can actually hold an alligator’s mouth shut, even a big one.”

Burdette knows this because the Cape Fear River is his jurisdiction. A former Navy search and rescue swimmer who grew up sloshing around swamps and backwaters, he’s a Riverkeeper, the local leader of the national Waterkeeper environmental organization dedicated to saving the region’s 200-mile riverine ecosystem.

He wrestles these apex predators not for sport but to hunt for a microscopic threat: PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. Burdette worked with a team of North Carolina State University scientists who measured PFAS concentration in the blood of alligators and found that it was correlated with immune issues in the animals—another worrying sign in a decades-long history of PFAS poisoning in Cape Fear.

And they just continue to scam AmeriKKKa. A golf club company backed by the sons of Donald Trump is merging with drone manufacturer Powerus in a deal designed to take the drone technology company public.

The merger with Aureus Greenway Holdings is the latest in Eric and Donald Trump Jr’s growing investments in the drone sector, following last month’s $1.5bn tie-up between Israeli drone maker XTEND and Florida-based JFB Construction Holdings. Drones have become a major procurement priority for the Pentagon and are widely used in Ukraine, where dense air defense systems near the frontlines limit the deployment of conventional aircraft.

Portland State declares financial crisis, reveals plan to cut or reduce 19 departments

Portland State’s announcement Monday lays the groundwork for a process that could result in a massive restructuring of the university.

And, of course, art and transportation make a city.

Dozens of crow sculptures, each 6 feet tall and individually designed by artists from Portland and across the Pacific Northwest, will be positioned throughout downtown as part of a free, self-guided art trail. Not that you’d mix it up with, obviously, the thousands of crows that take over downtown Portland every winter.

The new art installation is called “Wildwood: Follow the Crows.” The sculptures are inspired by LAIKA’s upcoming stop-motion film “Wildwood.” The trail will be part gallery, part scavenger hunt and part civic celebration. The installation encourages people to wander throughout the city to discover the art along walkways, plazas, parks and street corners.

Kids around the world should be out here, in yurts, for thousands, studying mother nature: Are Velella velella dangerous?

At first, Velella velella — also known as by-the-wind sailors — can be striking to look at. But as they dry and decay, they begin to smell fishy and turn brittle, like potato chips that crunch underfoot. They generally do not sting people who touch them, but Oregon State University advises against walking barefoot through fresh strandings and touching your eyes or mouth after handling them.

Why do Velella velella wash up on beaches?

University of Washington researchers say Velella can wash ashore in staggering numbers — sometimes in the trillions — on beaches around the world, including along the West Coast. In a 2021 study published in Marine Ecology Progress Series, the researchers analyzed 20 years of observations collected by COASST, the university’s citizen-science beach survey program.

More and more Oregon companies are being lured to invest elsewhere, either by expanding their out-of-state presence or relocating operations entirely, according to a recent study.

States often compete with one another to attract big employers, and the study’s findings suggest that efforts to recruit companies from Oregon are working.

  • U.S.–Israeli strikes on a residential complex in eastern Tehran late Monday killed at least 40 people, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, in one of the deadliest attacks in the capital since the start of the war. The attack hit apartment blocks near Resalat Square, a densely populated area of the capital, with rescue crews searching the rubble for survivors.
  • Three school students were killed after U.S.–Israeli strikes hit residential areas in Lorestan Province in western Iran, according to Iran’s Tasnim News Agency. The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights reported that the attack also destroyed the Intelligence Department building in the city of Kuhdasht. The blast reportedly leveled nearby homes and commercial buildings, with sources saying both intelligence personnel and civilians were among the dead.
  • A U.S.–Israeli drone strike hit a two-story residential building in the central Iranian city of Arak shortly after midnight Tuesday, killing five people and injuring one, according to Iran’s Mehr News. State media reported heavy damage to the residential structure following the strike.
