Vice President JD Vance delivered a powerful speech at the National Police Memorial Service in Washington, D.C., vowing unwavering support for law enforcement. Standing before top Trump officials, Vance took aim at “far-left prosecutors,” “weak-willed politicians,” and the rise in lawlessness. He declared the Trump administration would never abandon police officers or the memory of fallen heroes. With National Police Week underway, Vance promised pro-police policies, zero tolerance for anti-cop rhetoric, and a crackdown on violent crime and open border chaos. A resounding moment of the administration’s law-and-order stance. #JDVance #DonaldTrump #PoliceMemorial #NationalPoliceWeek #LawAndOrder #BackTheBlue #ProPolice #FarLeftProsecutors #BlueLivesMatter #ZeroTolerance #BorderSecurity #PoliceSupport #Trump2025 #PoliceHeroes #DefendThePolice #CrimeCrisis #ICE #DEA #USMarshals #FallenOfficers ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Maoist Insurgency Operation: Turning Point in India’s War on Extremism| Oneindia

On May 21, 2025, a Maoist insurgency operation carried out by Indian security forces marked a decisive moment in the country's internal security history. The neutralisation of Nambala Keshava Rao, alias Basavaraju—the most wanted Naxalite leader—during Operation Black Forest in Chhattisgarh, reflects the intensity and effectiveness of India’s Maoist insurgency operation strategy. Basavaraju, the CPI (Maoist) chief, was the brain behind multiple deadly ambushes. His elimination, alongside the dismantling of guerrilla infrastructure and the capture of 450+ IEDs, is seen as a major boost in India’s fight against Left-Wing Extremism. With over 320 security camps, infrastructure growth and a new rehabilitation policy, the Indian government is pushing strongly towards a Naxal-free India by 2026. Watch the full report on how this Maoist insurgency operation became a landmark in counter-insurgency efforts. #MaoistInsurgencyOperation #OperationBlackForest #NaxalFreeIndia #BasavarajuKilled #LeftWingExtremism ~HT.178~PR.282~PR.100~GR.124~
