🔘I built a free news/OSINT dashboard after years of running real intelligence dashboards in the Army 🪖
Retired Army communications and IT vet here. Spent years building actual dashboards for commanders so they had real information at their fingertips instead of digging through paper reports. After I got out, I kept doing the same thing for myself, except now it's pointed at public news and social feeds instead of military reporting.
The result is a personal dashboard that pulls live feeds (news wire, YouTube, Telegram, X, Truth Social, TikTok, Instagram, and more) into one screen, sorted chronologically, with no algorithm deciding what you see. Three of the desks are free forever, no account needed. A few more are behind a small paywall to help cover hosting.
Built the whole thing myself on Weebly and Cloudflare, iterating in public as I go. Would love feedback from anyone who deals with information overload the same way I did.

☢️ US INTEL: SAUDI ARABIA HAS NOT RULED OUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
It's in classified docs sent to Congress, U.S. officials told The Washington Post. State: U.S. "will not support" a Saudi bomb. Riyadh calls its program peaceful. Senate Dems want the deal scrapped.

🍌 Field report: a SpaceX Falcon 9 launch recording at 120 dB could not wake my three miniature schnauzers. A banana peeled 180 feet away, door closed? All three up in seconds. They aren't responding to loudness. They're responding to relevance. 🐾 ZB30 on scene.

THE TAKEAWAY. The next time your dog ignores his name but springs to life at the sound of a treat bag, don't assume he is stubborn or stupid. He is making a choice about what deserves his attention. Like the three schnauzers in my house, he ignores what doesn't matter and acts on what does. As the conclusion puts it: "In a world of manufactured noise, that's actually pretty wise." Maybe the real lesson is not that dogs have selective hearing, but that we should all be so honest about what we actually listen to, and why.
Follow the signal. Find the dogs. ZB30 standing by. 🐾

🚨 69 years ago today, 9 Black teenagers walked into Little Rock Central High behind the 101st Airborne. Not the National Guard. Gov. Faubus had used the Guard to BLOCK them. Get the history right. 🐾 ZB30 on scene.

THE CORRECTION: WHO BLOCKED THE LITTLE ROCK NINE, AND WHO ESCORTED THEM
A viral “This Day in History” card gets the chain of events backward. President Dwight D. Eisenhower did not send the Arkansas National Guard to escort the Little Rock Nine. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus used the Guard as a barrier, and federal troops later became the escort.
On September 2, 1957, Faubus ordered the Arkansas National Guard into Little Rock. On September 4, when the nine Black students tried to enter Central High School, the guardsmen turned them away. The National Park Service records that Faubus used his authority to prevent the court ordered integration from happening. The Eisenhower Presidential Library likewise says Faubus ordered the Guard to surround Central High to keep the students out.
The story then moved from state obstruction to federal enforcement. On September 23, the students entered Central under state and local police protection, but rioting outside cut that first school day short. On September 24, Eisenhower signed Executive Order 10730. The order placed Arkansas National Guard units into active federal service for an indefinite period, directed the Defense Department to enforce federal court orders, and authorized the use of U.S. armed forces. The National Archives text is the primary record. Its disposition table lists the order as signed September 24, 1957.
On September 25, the nine returned for their first full day. The 101st Airborne Division escorted them into Central High School. That is the key correction: Faubus’s Guard blocked the students; Eisenhower federalized the Guard and sent the 101st Airborne to protect access and enforce the court’s order.
The NPS spells the nine’s names this way: Thelma Mothershed Wair, Minnijean Brown-Trickey, Jefferson Thomas, Terrence Roberts, Carlotta Walls LaNier, Gloria Ray Karlmark, Ernest Green, Elizabeth Eckford, and Melba Pattillo Beals. Naming them matters. They were not a prop in a presidential anecdote. They were nine teenagers whose attendance tested whether state resistance could override federal law.
The Library of Congress record for a September 25 photograph identifies Major General Edwin A. Walker and Colonel William A. Kuhn of the 327th Airborne Battle Group outside Central High while integration was being enforced. Our image uses a separate U.S. Army photograph credited to the National Archives, showing the 101st escort operation.
One archival note: the National Archives milestone page displays a citation line that says September 23, but the order’s own closing line says “The White House, September 24, 1957, and the Archives disposition table gives September 24 as the signed date. The September 23 date belongs to Eisenhower’s proclamation referenced inside the order.
Facts first. ZB30 is standing by.

SAUDI ARABIA AND THE BOMB OPTION: WHAT U.S. INTELLIGENCE REPORTEDLY SAID, WHAT IT DID NOT, AND WHY CONGRESS CARES NOW
A U.S. intelligence community assessment says Saudi Arabia has not ruled out the option of developing a nuclear weapons program, according to U.S. officials who spoke to The Washington Post. Read the verb carefully. "Has not ruled out" is a judgment about intent and options. It is not a finding that Riyadh is building a bomb, and the Post report does not say that.
THE REPORT
The Washington Post (John Hudson, published 1:12 PM ET Friday, Sept. 25, 2026) reported that the assessment appears in classified documents provided to Congress. The sourcing is unnamed U.S. officials who, per the Post, spoke on condition of anonymity because the material is classified. Per summaries of the Post story by The Jerusalem Post and Anadolu Agency, the intelligence view was submitted alongside State Department input described as more confident in the deal's safeguards and in Saudi assurances. The CIA declined to comment. ZB30 has not seen the documents.
OFFICIAL RESPONSES
State Department, to the Post: the United States "does not and will not support a Saudi nuclear weapon program." It said the deal keeps the strongest nonproliferation standards achievable through diplomacy. The Saudi government did not answer questions directly and pointed to an earlier statement by Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman calling the program "peaceful" and run with "the highest levels of responsibility and transparency." A senior administration official told the Post that Saudi normalization with Israel remains a firm condition for the deal, i24NEWS reported. ZB30 found no on-record reaction from ODNI, the White House, Israel's government or Iran as of drafting.
WHY NOW: THE 123 DEAL
Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Prince Abdulaziz signed a U.S.-Saudi peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement (a "123 agreement") plus a bilateral safeguards agreement on July 22, 2026, per the Energy Department. The administration sent it to Congress on Monday, Aug. 24, CNN reported, starting a 90-day review. It takes effect unless both chambers pass disapproval resolutions, and a veto override would need two-thirds. Per the Post, enrichment would start capped below 5% and could rise to 20% after an additional study and written agreement. That is below weapons grade. The deal does not require the IAEA Additional Protocol, which allows broader inspections; a separate bilateral safeguards arrangement stands in for it.
THE PUSHBACK
On Sept. 25, Sens. Ed Markey and Jeff Merkley, joined by Sens. Tim Kaine, Chris Van Hollen, Peter Welch and Ron Wyden, wrote Secretary of State Marco Rubio: "With this deal, the Trump Administration is departing from precedent, adopting looser restrictions, and caving to Saudi demands by agreeing to a process that is all but certain to allow Riyadh to acquire the means to enrich uranium and possibly develop nuclear weapons." Per the Post, 20 nonproliferation experts, including former IAEA chief Hans Blix, warned Congress this week that the inspection terms could make undeclared weapons work hard to detect.
CONTEXT, VERIFIED
MBS on CBS "60 Minutes" (March 2018): "Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible."
Uranium: in January 2025 Prince Abdulaziz said of domestic uranium, "We will enrich it and we will sell it," Reuters reported. The kingdom has no enrichment plant and no operating power reactor.
Safeguards: Saudi Arabia rescinded its IAEA Small Quantities Protocol effective Dec. 31, 2024 (INFCIRC/746/Mod.1) and now runs a full Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement. It has not adopted the Additional Protocol.
Pakistan: on Sept. 17, 2025, MBS and Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif signed a Strategic Mutual Defense Agreement stating "any aggression against either country shall be considered an aggression against both." Its full text is unpublished, and the public statement does not mention nuclear weapons.
Iran: in September 2026 the U.S., UK, France and Germany told the IAEA Board that Iran provided no access to any nuclear facilities in the latest reporting period (GOV/2026/50). The IAEA called that "a matter of proliferation concern." Per the Post, Iran's enriched uranium is believed to have survived U.S. and Israeli strikes in 2025 and 2026.
WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW
The assessment's wording, confidence level and date. Which agencies agreed. Whether it cites new intelligence or restates long-held views. No public document backs it: the president's transmittal says a classified annex prepared with the DNI went to Congress separately, and ZB30 found nothing unclassified with this judgment.
WATCHING NEXT
Disapproval votes, any declassified summary, Saudi reaction on the record, and the Israel normalization condition. ZB30 standing by.
