Does your car insurance cover what really matters?

Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to find the coverage you actually need.

Three Minute Prepper - Moscow Pushes On

Putin says Moscow is intent on pressing on in Ukraine. Russia's troops are advancing along the entire line of contact. Putin said he is certain Moscow will soon capture more settlements and before the end of this year will witness new success. The Russian army made its biggest advance in Ukraine in a year in November. Putin said the ball is now fully on the side of Western opponents and the head of the Kyiv regime. He denied responsibility for tens of thousands killed, claiming Russia did not start the war. Russia and Washington are pushing Ukrainian President Zelensky to hold a presidential election. Putin said Russia could halt long range strikes on voting day. Speaking from Cairo, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov condemned European proposal to send multinational force to police any peace deal as a brazen threat to Russia. When presidents claim certainty about capturing more territory before year end while denying responsibility for deaths they caused by ordering the invasion, those statements are not defensive posturing. Those are victory declarations from leaders who believe they are winning.

US seized another Venezuelan oil tanker in pre dawn operation Saturday. The Coast Guard seized a Panama flagged vessel called Centuries. White House said the vessel was falsely flagged and operating as part of Venezuelan shadow fleet to traffic stolen oil and fund the narcoterrorist Maduro regime. Venezuela condemned the seizure as a serious act of piracy. US forces were pursuing yet another tanker Sunday. If seized, it would mark the third interception in less than two weeks. Senator Rand Paul called the seizure of these tankers a prelude to war. Venezuela ordered its navy to escort tankers carrying petroleum products after Trump declared complete and total blockade. Several ships sailed with naval escort Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. If US attempts to seize another tanker, it could lead to direct clash with Venezuelan Navy. When naval forces from two nations position for confrontation over oil tankers, that prelude becomes prologue. Previous issues documented first tanker seizure and blockade declaration. Now the third seizure approaches while Venezuelan Navy escorts create collision course.

Pentagon failed its 8th audit in a row. The Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Agency Report found 26 material weaknesses and two significant deficiencies in financial controls for reporting. Auditors went through roughly $4.7 trillion in assets and another $4.7 trillion in liabilities. The audit found the Department is unable to provide assurance over effectiveness of internal controls in place to support reliable financial reporting. Investigators found particular issues with Joint Strike Fighter Program. Pentagon did not report Global Spares Pool assets in financial statements, leading to lack of accurate and reliable data. Despite all that, Pentagon still intends to achieve a clean audit in 2028 fiscal year. The findings were released a day after Trump signed massive defense bill authorizing record $901 billion in spending. When departments that cannot account for $4.7 trillion in assets get authorized for $901 billion more spending, those budgets are not oversight failures. Those are blank checks written to institutions that operate without accountability because accountability would expose where the money actually goes.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will soon present options for attacking Iran again to Trump. Israeli officials are increasingly concerned Iran is expanding production of its ballistic missile program damaged by Israeli strikes earlier this year. They are preparing to brief Trump about options for attacking it again. Israeli officials also concerned Iran is reconstituting nuclear enrichment sites the US bombed in June. Officials view Iran's efforts to rebuild facilities where they produce ballistic missiles and repair crippled air defense systems as more immediate concerns. Netanyahu expected to make case to Trump that Iran's expansion of ballistic missile program poses threat that could necessitate swift action. The Israelis and Iranians both clearly understand their fight is not over. When prime ministers prepare briefings on strike options while expressing concern about rebuilt missile facilities, those meetings are not diplomatic consultations. Those are war planning sessions setting timelines for next attacks.

Connect every signal. Putin declares certainty about capturing more Ukrainian territory before year ends. US seizes third Venezuelan tanker as naval escorts create collision course. Pentagon fails 8th audit while getting $901 billion more in unaccountable spending. Netanyahu prepares strike options briefing as Iran rebuilds missile facilities. Previous issues documented NATO warning world war is coming, blockades imposed, and military operations escalating everywhere. Now the drumbeats intensify. Russia advances with victory declarations. Venezuelan Navy escorts tankers toward confrontation. Trillions disappear without audit trails. Strike options get briefed for Iran. Those who prepared for converging conflicts, understood unaccountable military spending funds operations never disclosed, and knew that rebuilt facilities get targeted again were not being alarmist. They were reading what happens when victory declarations precede new offensives, when naval forces position for collisions, when audit failures enable unlimited spending, and when strike briefings set attack timelines. When drumbeats get louder, when third tankers get seized, when $4.7 trillion cannot be accounted for, and when strike options get presented, the question is not whether wars expand. The question is whether you prepared before the drumbeats become bombardments.

Stay prepared,
