I’ve just received a Report that the United States is producing more Exquisite and Elite Weapons than at any time in our History. They are being delivered on a daily basis to our Forces in the Middle East, and beyond. Our Defense Company Factories are moving 24/7, while at the same time building, on average, 4 to 5 largescale brand new Plants, each! A primary focus of this production has been Patriots, THAAD Systems, Tomahawks, and other Standard Missile Systems, of which we already have large numbers in stock. President DONALD J. TRUMP

The photo shows an ongoing construction/renovation project on a Federal Reserve building in Washington, D.C. — a partially glass-clad modern facade attached to an older stone/columned building section, with a construction crane, orange traffic cones, and metal crowd-control/security barriers lining the sidewalk. In the foreground, a black Cadillac XT6 SUV with a "Sterling" (Virginia) license plate drives down the street under a clear blue sky with scattered clouds.

All right, let's start with this, a federal judge, again, blocking the postal service from implementing President Trump's mail ballot rule ahead of the midterms. Case could be appealed back to the Supreme Court. Of course, earlier this week the Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's effort to try to clean up the voter rolls was valid by using the post office to make sure that ballots are only delivered to actual voters who should be voting. Yeah, so this is basically a tracking system. Every company like FedEx and Amazon use these, and it's just a way of making sure that the person who's sending in the ballot is actually the voter because we know there's widespread fraud with, we know hundreds and hundreds and thousands of people are cheating, and the Democrats don't want it. They don't want to stop the fraud. Yeah, no, it is kind of amazing because I remember just a year or so ago, or a few years ago before COVID, Democrats, one thing that they could all agree upon was that the problem with mass mail-in balloting is that you have no control over who gets the ballots, you have no control over ballot custody. It was agreed that it was too dangerous because it's too fraught for corruption, but now it's become part of the Democrat strategy, apparently. Of course, and by the way, as you know, we just had new evidence that came in that hundreds and thousands of people across the country are cheating on this, and the Democrats don't want to stop it. Okay, next up, it is the year 2026, and Democrat politicians are still tearing down statues Democrats in Virginia, led by Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger, who is the most unpopular Virginia governor in the history of polling, quietly took down the statue of a Civil War doctor, Hunter McGuire, from the grounds of state capital and Richmond. And what I think is so interesting about this abomination and attack on history is that Hunter McGuire was famous for being a Civil War doctor who revolutionized the way doctors and nurses are treated in wartime, protecting them so that they can do their jobs, helping people who are wounded on the battlefield. And his ideas later became the foundation of the Geneva Convention rules governing how medics and nurses are treated on the battlefield, yet Virginia politicians led by Abigail Spanberger tore down his statue because of their hurt feelings. He's a hero. This guy's a hero who has saved lives, potentially hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lives, relieve pain and suffering on the battlefield. And he deserves a medal. He deserves a statue. I'm proud as a person who's lived in Virginia that he was a Virginian, and yet because he has some connection with the Confederacy, they want to take it down. I mean, look, you know this. You lived in Virginia. They want to take out Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, anyone who is associated with our founding.

-The legacy media, Sean, is fundamentally corrupt. They are an extension of an arm of the Democrat Party. Honestly, Sean, the media, the legacy media, like CBS and ABC and NBC and every other legacy outlet, exists to serve and advance the interests of the Democrat Party. Throw in "New York Times," throw in "Washington Post," throw in "The Atlantic." They should all be required to register as a Democrat political action committee. I mean, let's just think through some of the things that you mentioned. President Trump has been in office in his second term for a year and a half and has solved problems that plagued this nation for decades, generations, or even longer. I mean, just go through the foreign policy piece here. He's completely rebalanced our trading relationship with Canada. He has protected American manufacturing and essential supply chains from China. He has completely rebalanced NATO and ensured that other nations pay their fair share. He is now pursuing peace in the Korean Peninsula, which hasn't been achieved since the armistice in the 1950s. President Trump has single-handedly toppled Maduro, freed the people of Venezuela, and secured the greatest boon for America's energy and supply chains probably in the history of our country. He's taken the fight to the drug cartels, declared them a foreign terrorist organization, used military power to fight these enemies of human civilization. And as you have mentioned, he stopped Iran, the Islamic theocracy of Iran, from obtaining a nuclear weapon that could destroy an entire city. And now he'd come at home. He's unleashed American energy. He's building pipelines. He's bringing the price of gas down from the heinous highs of the Biden administration. He's taken inflation from the highest level in American history down to 2%. The largest tax cut in American history, no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime. And he took the most unsecured, dangerous, violent, hellish border in the history of our republic and 15 straight months, Sean, of zero releases, zero into the country.

Ronald Reagan who traditionally has won that. Donald Trump nearly triples up on this. Reagan at just 18%. And then Abraham Lincoln who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time. But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by what is this this is six seven times as many Donald John Trump at 53% easily crushing a blink in at 8% and the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well.

The page has three columns: a left story "Money woes a 'rial' crusher" about Iran's currency collapse, a center story with a map graphic of the Persian Gulf/UAE/Iran region showing a red arrow pointing into Iran, headlined "That cut really hurts / UAE big Iran partner," and a right story "US will sanction nations that aid Tehran" by Josh Christenson and Ryan King about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's "Operation Economic Outcast" campaign. A faint repeating watermark reading "COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION IS ..." overlays the page.
Text in image: 4 nypost.com New York Post, Tuesday, August 25, 2026 THE BATTLE FOR IRAN $QUEEZING Money woes a 'rial' crusher Iran's currency plummeted to new lows Monday, sending citizens rushing to exchange lines to save their cash. The rial dropped to 2.02 million to $1 when the currency markets opened, about half of what it was worth at the start of the year. The continued plunge during nearly six months of war has led Iranians to sprint for the exchange markets in hopes of getting US bills. "There is no hope for a deal or peace," Sadegh Mahmoudi, 73, said as he waited at an exchange line in Tehran. The rial has been in a free fall since November due to years of sanctions and persistently high inflation, factors that have only gotten worse during the war. While Iran's official Central Bank rate stands at 1.5 million rial to the dollar, the market rate is what Iranians pay. "President Trump decimated Iran's economy to a point where the rial has never been weaker and inflation has rarely been higher," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote Sunday in an opinion piece in the Financial Times. "The regime's final refuge now lies in the self-deception of fearful nations that still believe accommodating aggression can secure a durable peace." Bessent warned that the additional financial penalties announced Monday would effectively "collapse the regime," with Trump echoing the same threat on social media. "IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!" the president wrote on Truth Social. Tehran officials have threatened retaliation. "Any escalation of this situation will undoubtedly bring about consequences," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told reporters on Monday. Ronny Reyes, With Wires ■ Dubai is Iran's biggest supplier of goods by far ■ One-third of Iran's imports come from the UAE, most flowing through Dubai ■ Nearly 15% of Iran's non-oil exports go to the UAE, sending $6.5B to the regime in the last 10 months ■ 70% of Iran's fuel oil exports went to UAE By RONNY REYES [Map showing IRAN, QATAR, Dubai (star), UAE, SAUDI ARABIA, OMAN, Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, with a red arrow pointing from the Gulf region into Iran] That cut really hurts UAE big Iran partner A US ally in the Middle East has finally cut off Iran — and it could be one of the biggest threats to the regime yet. The United Arab Emirates, which serves as Tehran's largest supplier of goods, suspended all trade with the Iran over the weekend — nixing $6 billion in cash that went to the regime from exports, as well as access to vital supplies from the outside world. Dubai — the UAE's thriving commercial hub — is by far Iran's largest supplier of goods. The Emirati government finally felt fed up with Iran following repeated missile attacks that triggered evacuations for the first time during the war. The move not only threatens the $21.3 billion trade relations between the two nations, it also leaves Iran without its primary way to collect US dollars, Mark Kimmitt, a retired US general and former assistant secretary of state, told The Post. "If the Emirates cease trade and blocks dollar flows, it could have a crippling effect on the Iranian economy," Kimmitt said. Dubai essentially served as Iran's window to the world after years of being slapped by Western sanctions, with traders buying and re-exporting consumer goods, food and industrial equipment to Iran. The two nations strengthened their economic cooperation in 2024, with the UAE surpassing China as Iran's most vital trading partner. Iran imported about $14.8 billion worth of goods from the UAE during the first 10 months of the 2025 fiscal year, accounting for 30% of its total imports, according to the two countries' trade data. Meanwhile, Iran exported around $6.5 billion worth of goods to the UAE during the same fiscal period, nearly 15% of its non-oil exports. Most notably, Iran also depended on the UAE for 70% of its fuel oil exports, making the UAE its largest market for the product. Refined oil also came back in the opposite direction from Dubai — with gasoline and diesel imports from the UAE helping to offset Iran's supply deficit. The blow leaves Iran with fewer means to make money and import goods as its economy continues to plummet under the strain of US sanctions. US will sanction nations that aid Tehran By JOSH CHRISTENSON and RYAN KING WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Monday the start of the Operation Economic Outcast campaign against Iran to "tighten the noose" around its regime, and warned countries against doing business with Tehran. The Trump administration aims to choke off revenue streams to the Iran by pressuring countries to stop making oil, energy and business deals with Tehran. "The clock just started ticking," he warned at a news conference, while declining to give a precise timeline before secondary sanctions against uncooperating countries would take effect. Prez on the horn Bessent revealed that the President Trump has been burning the phone lines to other capitals with demands, and stressed that America "does not have infinite patience" with countries to comply. "The president is making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime. We are already seeing results," Bessent said, without citing examples. He issued a final warning to world leaders "to make a decision between . . . America and Iran." Trump is preparing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next month. Beijing purchases

A New York Post newspaper page (page 5, dated "New York Post, Tuesday, August 25, 2026," nypost.com printed on the right margin) under the headline series "THE BATTLE FOR IRAN" / "POISON SNAKE." The main photo shows a gray-haired man in glasses and a navy suit speaking at a lectern bearing the seal of "THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY" (dated 1789), with an American flag behind him and two microphones in front. A smaller inset photo to the right shows stacks of foreign currency (banknotes and coins) spread out, apparently at a currency exchange. A caption box between the photos reads "TIGHTENING GRIP: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (left) announces Monday that the US will sanction countries that do business with Iran, sending Iranians scrambling to unload their currency at exchanges like this one in Tehran (above)." Below the images is a multi-column news article with a subheading "Evasion," discussing US sanctions on Iran, Treasury actions against banks (including Bank Melli), comments from Bessent and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and references to a six-month-old war with Iran and sanctions targeting entities in China and Iran tied to nuclear/missile technology. The image has a translucent circular watermark/stamp overlaid across it reading something like "...DISTRIBUTION IS ST... COMMERCIAL... PROHIBITED" (partially obscured).

"We want to make clear here today that no one is above the reach of US sanctions," Bessent said when asked if China would be subject to them. The United Arab Emirates already had announced last week that it was stopping all trade and financial transactions with Iran. Asked Monday told a Post reporter those actions were "likely causal, and I would expect that we would see a broad array of countries taking similar action as we continue our engagement." "The UAE has been a very good partner," he said. "You will see a wave of sanctions when you leave this meeting today and you should expect that cadence to continue." Trump had called UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed hours before the announcement. "And I would expect that you will see a major announcement of a financial institution being sanctioned by the end of this week," added Bessent. Bessent is authorized, "in consultation with the Department of State," to target countries or entities dealing with Tehran through digital assets, technology, gold, commercial aviation and shipping. That authority took effect Monday under an executive order Trump signed in January 2020. Evasion Treasury officials noted that the Iranian regime has been making use of cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions, stabilizing its rial currency with gold to hedge against inflation, using commercial planes or ships to transport weapons or their components, fighters, cash and gold. As the 6-month-old war with Iran has dragged on, the Trump administration has teased an "Economic D-Day" approach. As an example, Bessent said that countries have been told to shutter Bank Melli branches within their borders, referring to the largest government-owned commercial bank in Iran. That would include the bank's branches in the UK, France, Germany Russia and other countries. Bessent said the operation will "foreclose every other option available," calling it a "zero leakage approach" that will ensure the regime will have "no minimal breathing space" to rebuild. "Iran now faces a very clear choice, with only two paths before them: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy," he said. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters later Monday, "The only choice they have is to come to the table and actually talk about their nuclear program, which is what the president has demanded." In addition, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control on Monday sanctioned more than 60 entities that enable Iran to obtain illicit nuclear and missile technology, conduct malicious cyberattacks and increase the regime's oil revenue through shadow fleets and other entities. Some of the now-sanctioned entities, located in China and Iran, helped move "proliferation-sensitive equipment" and other "highly sensitive dual-use technology" to Tehran's Malek Ashtar University of Technology.

Lindsey was one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, and his sister shares his deep love of our Country, and the State of South Carolina. During her visit, I asked Darline, for the Good of our Nation, to run for the U.S. Senate in the Special Republican Primary on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. She accepted, as there is nobody better to honor the legacy of her beloved brother, Lindsey. Darline, who comes from an absolutely incredible family, has been a WINNER all of her life, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement in the Special Election for U.S. Senate in South Carolina. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR DARLINE — SHE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Video transcript
Yeah, in the Senate he has done very well. This is a reality check for you. That is, Donald Trump is still the son on which the planets of the GOP revolve around. You could see it quite well here. Look at this. Trump endorsed these one Senate primaries. If the person that he endorsed is not an elected incumbent like Darlene Graham was, you know, since 2022, or 2022 is about 95% of the time, has that weakened it all this cycle? No, it is not. It has actually gotten stronger. Look at this. 100% of the time if Trump endorsed a non-elected incumbent like Darlene Graham, they in fact won the Republican primary for United States Senate, Trump's name is still the one that GOP voters buy when it comes to Senate endorsements. He went there. He spent money. He made a difference. And according to some measurements here, it may have turned it around for her. Yeah, I would say that this is probably the endorsement of Darlene Graham and getting her across the finish line. The Republican party is probably the strongest sign of Donald Trump's name being gold in Republican primaries to date. It is by far his most impressive performance because just take a look here. It is according to the cash to prediction market. Chance to win the South Carolina special GOP Senate primary. Before the Trump endorsement, it was just 14%. Just 14%. The reason why Darlene Graham won that primary, won that nomination is because of one name and one name only, Donald John Trump. This was his most impressive endorsement to date in terms of getting someone actually nominated because she basically stood no chance. Once that endorsement came in, her chances rocketed well north of 50% and last night she won that nomination. And it's largely because Republican primary voters are hugely supportive of the president. You know, sometimes we have these polls and you know, they're favorable polls or approval polls and they're in the moment. But I just love this one. Okay. The president Republicans most admire. It's Donald Trump. This is a historic comparison. A majority of Republicans say 53% say he's the Republican president they most admire. Ronald Reagan, who traditionally has won that much, Donald Trump nearly triples up on this. Reagan at just 18%. And then Abraham Lincoln, who by most historic accounts is the greatest president of all time. But Republicans say that the president that they most admire by what is this, this is six, seven times as many Donald John Trump at 53%, easily crushing Abe Lincoln at 8%. And the Elon poll showed that he was the greatest president as well.

A photo taken on a large flat rooftop or paved surface, likely under a construction/renovation project. In the foreground, dark burnout-style tire marks form overlapping circular and streak patterns on light gray concrete/coating, resembling loops and a slash. Beyond the marked area is a section of surface coated in teal/turquoise waterproofing or sealant material, with construction debris (rolled materials, wrapped pallets, a golf cart, a white storage/shipping container on a trailer) scattered near the edge. A row of green trees lines the background under a clear blue sky.

A screenshot of a page from what appears to be a legal/government document (e.g., a criminal complaint or investigative report), consisting of a paragraph of typed text. A portion of the text describing the defendant's actions at the reflecting pool is highlighted in blue.
Text in image: Further investigation by the government included interviews with two National Park Service ("NPS") employees, W-1 and W-2, who were both engaged in cleaning the interior of the Reflecting Pool. The defendant approached the area where they were working. W-1 stated they observed the defendant using his cellular telephone to take what the NPS employee believed to be video or a photograph(s) of the damage to the reflecting pool. The NPS employee, W-1, stated that the defendant then knelt, placed both hands into the reflecting pool—below the surface of the water—and started to "violently" rip and tug at a large portion of the blue pool coating. The NPS employee, W-1, asked the second NPS employee, W-2, to contact police and requested that the defendant not touch or rip at the coating. The defendant told W-1, that the NPS personnel were "awfully sensitive about the pool" and he continued to tug at the coating until National Guard soldiers arrived.
