US regulator opens Waymo investigation
Reported incidents included collisions with stationary and semi-stationary objects — including gates and chains — and parked vehicles. Other incidents included a collision “shortly after” the autonomous driving system “exhibited unexpected behavior near traffic safety control devices.
Other incidents, including vehicles driving in opposing lanes with oncoming traffic or entering construction zones, were identified by publicly available reports, according to the regulator.
The investigation will evaluate the automated driving systems’ performance in detecting and responding to traffic control devices and in avoiding collisions.
A Waymo spokesperson defended the company’s safety and performance in a statement about the investigation.

Blinken in Kyiv says US arms will make a difference as Ukraine reels from a new Russian offensive
MATTHEW LEE.1/2
Updated Tue, May 14, 2024
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Tuesday that American military aid on its way to Ukrainewould make a “real difference” on the battlefield, as the top diplomat made an unannounced visit to Kyiv to reassure an ally facing a fierce new Russian offensive.(Blinken is a LIAR)
In increasingly intense attacks along the northeastern border in recent days, Moscow’s troops have captured around 100 to 125 square kilometers (40 to 50 square miles) in the Kharkiv region that includes at least seven villages, according to open-source monitoring analysts. Though most of those villages were already depopulated, thousands of civilians in the area have fled the fighting.
The Kremlin’s forces have also been making a concerted push in the east, seeking to drive deeper into the partly occupied Donetsk region. The main focus of Russian attacks Tuesday was Pokrovsk, just inside the Ukrainian border in Donetsk, where the Kremlin’s forces launched 24 assaults, the Ukrainian general staff said in a report.
Analysts have called this moment one of the most dangerous for Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasionin February 2022 — and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked Tuesday for more air defense systems to protect civilians under Russian fire in the northeast.
“We know this is a challenging time,” Blinken said in the Ukrainian capital where he met with Zelenskyy. But he added that American military aid is “going to make a real difference against the ongoing Russian aggression on the battlefield.”
The visit comes less than a month after Congress approved a long-delayed foreign assistance package that sets aside $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, much of which will go toward replenishing badly depleted artillery and air defense systems.
Some of that “is now on the way,” Blinken said, and some has already arrived in Ukraine.
Moscow’s renewed offensive in the northeastern region of Kharkiv is the most significant border incursion since the early days of the war — and comes after months when the roughly 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line barely budged.
More than 7,500 civilians have been evacuated from the area, according to authorities. At the same time, the Kremlin’s forces are expanding their push to the northern border regions of Sumy and Chernihiv, Ukrainian officials say, and Kyiv's outgunned and outnumbered soldiers are struggling to hold them back.
Troops fought street to street on the outskirts of Vovchansk, among the largest towns in the Kharkiv area, regional Gov. Oleh Syniehubov said on national television. Two civilians were killed in Russian shelling Tuesday, he said.
The U.N. human rights office said the battles are taking a heavy toll.
“We are deeply concerned at the plight of civilians in Ukraine,” Liz Throssell, spokeswoman for the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in Geneva. “In the Kharkiv region, the situation is dire.” (Kiev is bombing Russian civilians, isn’t the UN concerned about them? Russia is not bombing civilians!)
Zelenskyy thanked Blinken for the U.S. aid — but added that more is necessary,including two Patriot air defense systemsurgently needed to protect Kharkiv. “The people are under attack: civilians, warriors, everybody. They’re under Russian missiles,” he said…

NASA to Discuss New Polar Climate Mission During Media Teleconference
MAY 13, 2024
NASA is hosting a media call at 3 p.m. EDT, Wednesday, May 15, to discuss the agency’s PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission, which aims to improve life on Earth by studying heat loss from Earth’s polar regions and provide information on our changing climate.
The first of two shoebox-sized satellites is targeted to launch aboard a Rocket Lab Electron rocket no earlier than Wednesday, May 22. The launch date for the second satellite will be announced shortly after the launch of the first satellite.
Earth absorbs a lot of energy from the Sun at the tropics. Weather and ocean currents move that heat energy toward the poles, where the heat radiates upward into space. Much of that heat is in far-infrared wavelengths and has never been systematically measured. The data from PREFIRE will address this knowledge gap for the benefit of all by improving predictions of climate change and sea level rise.
The audio-only teleconference streamed live on the agency’s website.
Participants include:
Karen St. Germain, director, Earth Science Division, NASA Headquarters in Washington
Mary White, project manager, PREFIRE, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Southern California
Tristan L’Ecuyer, principal investigator, PREFIRE, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Peter Beck, CEO and founder, Rocket Lab

Fed's Powell: PPI 'mixed,' next move unlikely to be a rate hike
(thanks Jerry however NYFRB Chair already told everyone it will be to lower them but he never said how >>158623 pb that ‘how’ will eventually be a QE on the short end….cap 2 is July and holding about same at 30% for 25bp cut)
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Tuesday said the latest report on U.S. producer prices was more "mixed" than "hot" given that prior data was revised lower even as the figures for April came in higher than expected.
"I wouldn't call it hot, I'd call it mixed," Powell said at an event in Amsterdam after the Labor Department released the Producer Price Index for April.
Asked if the recent run of higher-than-expected inflation might mean that the Fed's policy rate is not sufficiently restrictive to return inflation to the Fed's 2% target, Powell said "time will tell." But he added that he did not expect the central bank's next move on interest rates would be an increase. More likely it means that rates would remain where they are, in a range of 5.25% to 5.50%, for longer than previously expected, he said.

Russia issues military ultimatum to UK
Moscow has threatened retaliation for any attacks with British weapons
Moscow will retaliate against British targets in Ukraine or elsewhere if Kiev uses UK-provided missiles to strike Russian territory, the Foreign Ministry told London’s ambassador on Monday.
Ambassador Nigel Casey was summoned to the ministry following remarks by British Foreign Secretary David Cameron to Reuters that Ukraine has the right to use long-range missiles sent by the UK to strike deep inside Russia.
”Casey was warned that the response to Ukrainian strikes using British weapons on Russian territory could be any British military facilities and equipment on the territory of Ukraine and beyond,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement following the meeting.
The US and its allies had previously qualified their deliveries of long-range weapons to Kiev by saying they could only be used on territories that Ukraine claims as its own – Crimea, the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk, and Kherson and Zaporozhye Regions.
According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Cameron’s statements to the contrary “de facto recognized his country as a party to the conflict.”
Russia understands Cameron’s comments as “evidence of a serious escalation and confirmation of London’s increasing involvement in military operations on the side of Kiev,” the ministry added.
Casey was urged to “think about the inevitable catastrophic consequences of such hostile steps from London and to immediately refute in the most decisive and unequivocal manner the bellicose provocative statements of the head of the Foreign Office.”
Earlier in the day, the Russian Defense Ministry announced an exercise to test the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons. President Vladimir Putin ordered the drills after “provocative statements and threats” by Western officials, the military said.
Moscow hopes the drills will “cool down the ‘hot heads’ in Western capitals and help them understand the possible catastrophic consequences of the strategic risks they generate,” as well as “keep them from both assisting the Kiev regime in its terrorist actions and being drawn into a direct armed confrontation with Russia,” the Foreign Ministry said in a follow-up statement.
French Ambassador Pierre Levy was also summoned to the Foreign Ministry. Moscow has not yet disclosed the details of the meeting.

Space Force publishes Data, AI strategic action plan
May 14, 2024
ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) - The U.S. Space Force published its Data and Artificial Intelligence FY 2024 Strategic Action Plan providing specific direction for the enterprise to reach data centricity capable of conducting operations in contested environments.
“To remain competitive in the era of Great Power Competition, the United States Space Force requires a unified approach across data, analytics, and AI activities; an educated, empowered workforce skilled at incorporating commercial teams and tools; continued advanced research and rapid experimentation; and effective integration with our allies and partners,” said Col. Nathan L. Iven, acting chief technology and innovation officer for the Space Force. “To deliver on this vision, the USSF Data and AI FY 2024 Strategic Action Plan identifies initial actions for organizations that are essential for establishing processes, building capacity, and aligning existing efforts to better leverage data as a strategic asset.”
According to the plan, the Space Force must adopt modern, adaptive, and agile data and analytic capabilities to enable secure discovery, access, integration, and use of intelligence data at the speed of mission requirements. To do so, the service will focus on the following four lines of efforts to make data visible, accessible, understandable, linked, trustworthy, interoperable and secure:
• Mature, Enterprise-Wide Data and AI Governance
• Advance a Data and AI-Driven Culture
• Reoptimize Data, Advance Analytics, and AI Technologies
• Strengthen Government, Academic, Industry, and International Partnerships
“It is essential that we have a coordinated framework necessary to align with the DAF — and synchronize stakeholders across the Space Force,’’ stated Chandra L. Donelson, chief data and artificial intelligence officer for the Space Force. “This holistic enterprise approach mapped out within this new data action plan sets USSF forth a path to ensure there is never a day without space data for our nation, allies and partners.”

Toulouse-based space tech Infinite Orbits bags €12 million to build first life extension satellite
May 13, 2024
The French new space in-orbit services company Infinite Orbits raised a €12 million round led by Newfund Capital along with the EIC Fund, IRDI Capital Investissement and Space Founders France. The main objective of this fundraising is enabling Infinite Orbits to accelerate the development of its main project “Endurance”, a Life Extension satellite for space assets.
Endurance will empower satellite operators to optimize their fleet management strategies while increasing their return on investment through adding years to the life of their satellites. Endurance is planned to demonstrate the first European Life Extension mission in 2026.
“Last year, we already achieved a major step: we are the first startup in the world to have a commercial nanosatellite in geostationary orbit, we formed a key alliance with satellite operator Intelsat to develop services for its fleet. With four major clients, including Azercosmos, Intelsat, CNES and Hispasat, the Company has closed its second year of revenues and is on a strong growth path to cross the €60 million figure in 2027,” explained Adel Haddoud, CEO of Infinite Orbits. “And as a commercially driven company, the next logical step for us is to offer all GEO operators new reliable and competitive services such as Life Extension.”
Founded in 2017, Infinite Orbits’ Endurance will be operated by Infinite Orbit’s RPO technology (Rendezvous and Proximity Operations), an autonomous vision based navigation technology that allows assets in space to approach and dock to one another. RPO technology will pave the way towards a sustainable utilization of space resources, allowing for a durable space environment. The technology is designed to be replicated for advanced in-orbit services, including close inspection, re-fueling, in-space manufacturing and many more applications yet to materialize following the spectacular growth of satellites launched in recent years.
The verification and validation roadmap of Infinite Orbits’ technology started in 2019 with key technology partnerships including ESA & CNES and with funding from the European Innovation Council (EIC), bpifrance, La Region Occitanie. This roadmap has led to the launch of Infinite Orbits’ Orbit Guard™ #1 to GEO orbit on May 1st 2023, carrying the first version of Infinite Orbits technology.
“We are thrilled to partner with a company like Infinite Orbits, perfectly embodying our commitment to backing deeptech ventures with the potential to lead globally,” said Salim Hassad, Investment Director at Newfund. “Infinite Orbits stands out with its exceptional founding team, robust technological foundation, and promising commercial trajectory. We are confident that Infinite Orbits will not only excel in the in-orbit servicing sector but also emerge as a future international champion.“

Breaking exascale barrier: US tops supercomputer list with Frontier, Aurora
May 14, 2024 07:39 AM EST
The US Department of Energy (DOE) just delivered a one-two punch to the world of supercomputing with their Aurora system officially cracking the exascale barrier.
This epic achievement puts the US firmly in the lead, boasting the top two most powerful supercomputers on the planet, according to the latest Top500 list unveiled at the 2024 ISC High-Performance conference.
“The Department of Energy is thrilled by the Aurora team’s achievement,” said Geraldine Richmond, DOE’s Under Secretary for Science and Innovation.
“Aurora is expanding US leadership in advanced scientific computing and will provide researchers with a unique instrument to meld simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analysis.”
“Frontier and Aurora will be pivotal tools in advancing trustworthy AI as we focus on harnessing AI’s potential while understanding and managing its risks,” she added.
What exactly is exascale?
Exascale computing achieves a minimum of one exaflop of calculations per second, enabling complex tasks like modeling, simulation, AI, and analytics. An exaflop denotes one quadrillion high-precision calculations per second, showcasing the immense computational power of these cutting-edge machines.
The Aurora supercomputer reached a performance milestone of 1.012 exaflops, making it one of only two officially recognized exascale systems globally.
Collaborative effort
This achievement wasn’t a solo act. The Aurora supercomputer, built at Argonne National Laboratory, is a collaborative effort between the DOE, Intel, and HPE. It’s a behemoth, housing a mind-boggling 10,624 computing nodes, each wielding the power of 63,744 Intel GPUs – the same tech driving the AI revolution. These processing monsters are all connected via HPE’s high-speed Slingshot interconnect, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
The current benchmark only tapped into 87% of what Aurora can do. Therefore, we have held onto our hats because even more incredible scientific discoveries are coming as the system reaches its maximum potential.
Top500 champion: Frontier
Frontier, which has been steadily flexing its muscles since its 2022 debut as the Top500 champion. Both teams at Argonne and Oak Ridge collaborate closely, and Frontier has already made significant scientific waves.
It snagged two prestigious Association for Computing Machinery Gordon Bell prizes – one for a groundbreaking approach to material discovery using the largest-ever simulation of an alloy, and another for a major leap in cloud modeling related to DOE’s Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM).
The power of Aurora isn’t lost on the research community. The Argonne Leadership Computing Facility, home to both Aurora and other cutting-edge systems, has facilitated the Aurora Early Science Program and DOE’s Exascale Computing Project.
These programs allow researchers to test the waters with Aurora, pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration. Think about projects like creating new materials and pharmaceuticals to figuring out things about physics and cosmology – that’s the kind of potential Aurora holds.
Meanwhile, China experienced a decline in rankings, and Europe has surpassed Asia in representation. The new addition to the TOP500 list is the Alps system from the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre.
In energy efficiency, JEDI from Germany claimed the top spot on the GREEN500 list, while Frontier secured the 11th position, with its 52.93 GFlops/Watt score.
FASST
These two supercomputing powerhouses form the bedrock of the DOE’s recently announced FASST (Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence for Science, Security and Technology) initiative.
FASST aims to leverage the vast scientific data troves housed within the DOE to fuel AI development, propel next-generation AI platforms and infrastructure, and build secure and dependable AI models. Ultimately, FASST seeks to harness this transformative technology to tackle the nation’s most pressing challenges in science, energy, and national security.

Geomagnetic storm shows need for space weather forecasts
13 May 2024
From 10-13 May, aurorae (typically seen at the polar areas) could be seen at unusually low latitudes.
Spectacular sightings of aurorae borealis (the northern hemisphere) were observed from e.g. Florida, Italy and Spain and aurorae australis (the southern hemisphere) were reported as far north as Queensland in Australia.
This was the result of an extreme (the highest category) geomagnetic storm from a series of coronal mass ejections (CME’s) – clouds of plasma material that are expelled from the Sun with high velocity into the interplanetary space.
These plasma clouds carry magnetic field which interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field when it finds our planet on its path through interplanetary space.
While aurorae are a delightful spectacle, geomagnetic storms also have potentially disrupting impacts such as the stress they can impose on the power grid due to induced currents in power lines, and possible impacts on communication and satellite operations.
The latest geomagnetic storm followed earlier elevated solar activity. So called active regions, concentrations of magnetic flux on the solar surface, have over the past week released several top-category X class flares, bursts of electromagnetic wave emission.
These flares impact the Earths ionosphere causing (high frequency) radio blackouts on the sunlit side of the Earth, and they can also result in perturbations or interruptions of satellite navigation services.
“Such solar events happen regularly, with their occurrence rate following an eleven year cycle associated with the inversion of the overall Solar magnetic field each eleven years,” says Jesse Andries, scientific officer with WMO’s Space Programme.
“We are currently nearing the maximum of the present cycle with Solar events occurring most frequently. While Solar events appear regularly, this recent geomagnetic storm is certainly one of the largest in several decades,” he says.
Fortunately, space weather monitoring and prediction is more and more becoming an operational practice just as terrestrial weather is. The latest event was accurately forecast.
Space weather forecasters around the world monitor the sun closely. They report each day on the evolution of active regions on the solar surface and they estimate the probability for large flares to occur.
They furthermore record the properties of the onset of coronal mass ejections which they feed to models which then allow them to estimate the expected time of arrival at Earth.
Based on these analyses, critical sectors and the general public are notified in advance of upcoming events, so they can take protective measures, such as deviating flight routes away from the poles.
WMO has been making efforts to integrate Space Weather within its activities for over a decade and has embraced it as a related environmental service in its Strategic Plan.
The WMO Executive Council meeting in June is due to adopt a new Four-year Plan for WMO Activities related to Space Weather (2024-2027). This was recently approved by the WMO Commission for Observation, Infrastructure and Information systems (INFCOM).
The plan addresses the three main pillars of the WMO Infrastructure: observing infrastructure, modelling and prediction, and data exchange.
Furthermore, it seeks to advance the capabilities of WMO Members to provide valuable services to various economic sectors that are prone to threats from Solar eruptions and consequent Space Weather phenomena.

Bloke spots hundreds of tiny 'dancing orbs' during Northern Lights that 'could be UFOs'
UPDATED 23:13, 12 MAY 2024
A bloke spotted hundreds of tiny "dancing orbs" when looking out at the Northern Lights and believes he may have seen a fleet of UFOs.
Posting a video of the skies in south Norway, the man was left flummoxed by the appearance of hundreds of shapeshifting lights and believes the lights could either be from a far off festival or beings from outer space.
His post to Reddit garnered hundreds of upvotes and commenters concerned we were being invaded by beings from beyond the stars.
Regardless of what the lights represented, viewers were left stunned by one of "the coolest videos" they had ever seen. One user wrote the video was "super neat" and another said it was "beautiful".
Others questioned whether user CrayRazy had captured evidence of life from other planets. He wrote: "Saw this tonight in the south of Norway.
At first I thought it was light beams from a festival but I live in a tiny city and that cloud is either over mountains, a lake or just a residential area.
"Really confused to what this could be. Any ideas?"
Other users were left wondering if the lights in the sky were the recent sightings of aurora borealis, but one pointed out: "Aurora borealis is way higher up."
Another wrote: "UFOs are popping up for this storm. I saw one here". A third added: "I don't know, looks like a lot of shiny orbs. There seems to be a lot of UFO activity around this solar event!"
Other Reddit users were left less convinced by the appearance of aliens and wondered whether it was in fact a solar storm taking place in the area.
One said: "We are having a solar storm. The whole northern hemisphere is capable of seeing the aurora borealis."
The original poster replied: "That's why I went outside but that doesn't look like the northern lights at all."
While a definitive answer was unavailable on what had caused the hundreds of tiny orbs to appear, some were adamant it was not UFOs and just a collection of northern lights sightings. But that's what they want you to think.
One user wrote: "It’s definitely the northern lights. I live in the Northwest Territories in Canada and you see that exact same thing from time to time.
Nothing to get worked up about. Enjoy the show!"
Another claimed: "It’s definitely the aurora borealis, but people here don’t want to believe it. It’s much more fun to think it’s something unexplained."

Wyoming Sorority Sisters Argue Against Trans Membership In Appeals Court==1/2
Six Wyoming Kappa Kappa Gamma members argued in a Denver appeals court Tuesday that their sorority acted in bad faith when inducting a transgender member into their chapter. Women's-rights activist Riley Gaines joined sorority members at the hearing.
Clair McFarland May 14, 2024
A panel of three judges is considering whether the sorority that inducted a transgender member into its Wyoming-based chapter 2022 could have acted in bad faith, and whether the six women who sued over the move appealed their case too early.
Women's-rights activist Riley Gaines joined six Wyoming women Tuesday for oral argument in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals – which encompasses Wyoming – in the case of Westenbroek v. Kappa Kappa Gamma.
The case started in March of 2023, when seven (later six) women sued the sorority, its director, and the transgender member the Laramie, Wyoming, chapter admitted.
The women claimed the sorority’s leadership was harming the organization, its offshoot housing corporation had broken its contract to sorority house residents, and the sorority leaders interfered with that contract. They also invoked a direct cause accusing the defendants of harming them.
U.S. District Court Judge Alan B. Johnson dismissed their claims six months later. He said private organizations can make and interpret their own rules – including the definition of the word “woman.” But he gave some guidance on how the women could change their complaint and re-file it.
The women appealed to the 10th Circuit instead, saying Johnson failed to consider whether Kappa leadership acted in bad faith and betrayed the duty they have to the sorority’s members.
But Can We Hear It?
Because Johnson left the women a possible avenue to plead their case in his court again, appeals-court judges voiced doubts Tuesday, that they should be hearing this case at all. “If we were to look at… whether or not the district court thought it was a final decision – it seems to me it’s not final,” said 10th Circuit Judge Carolyn McHugh, a Barack Obama nominee who took her seat in 2014.
McHugh was referencing appeals’ court rules banning higher courts from taking on cases that are still pending in lower courts. “(It’s) considered final when it goes to the merits of the complaint,” said May Mailman, appellate attorney for the six women, indicating Johnson’s order disputed their claims, not just the nature of their application – harming their hopes of re-filing.
Mailman later conceded that the women “could ask” about re-filing. Natalie McLaughlin, Kappa’s attorney, appeared almost as unwilling as Mailman to say the case could be pending still in the lower court.
She kept saying it was a valid question for the judges to consider – until Senior Judge Michael Roland Murphy – a Bill Clinton nominee to the bench – finally asked her point blank: “Is it your position we do not have jurisdiction?”
“We believe they do not have jurisdiction,”McLaughlin answered.
‘Bad Faith’
Mailman said the case’s argument isn’t so simple as defining the word woman: It’s more about whether the organization had the duty to represent itself honestly to its members.

2/2
“Plaintiffs allege directors of Kappa Kappa Gamma unilaterally changed the nature of the organization by adding a category of members… in bad faith,” said Mailman. In court documents prior, Mailman compared the move to a painter who agrees to paint a home white and instead paints it black.
Mailman pointed to the women’s allegations that the Wyoming Kappa chapter spontaneously changed its new-member voting systems from the accepted anonymous voting application to one that revealed the voters’ identities; and that people in the organization demonstrated bullying, maligning pressure on anyone who would vote against the transgender member.
McHugh indicated that the women didn’t raise their complaints of bad faith directly with the sorority leaders before suing, and not doing so may have obliterated their claim that they’re suing Kappa on its own behalf, to spare it from the actions of bad leaders.
Dictionaries And ‘Women’
McLaughlin and Mailman focused on different aspects of the case during their arguments.
McLaughlin insisted the case is about whether Kappa has a right as a private organization to interpret its own bylaws. She countered Mailman’s bad faith arguments by noting that Ohio law (Kappa is registered in Ohio) carries a presumption that private clubs’ leaders have acted in good faith and are often free from courts’ meddling.
She also insisted that because Kappa’s bylaws don’t actually define the word “woman,” the sorority’s council can draw from the current culture’s myriad definitions of it, when interpreting their induction criteria that members must be women.
McHugh asked a hypothetical: What if the sorority council had decided that cisgender (non-transgender) men were included in the definition of “woman”? Would the council’s actions still be defensible?
McLaughlin said that hypothetical is not before the court, but if it were, the court would have to weigh whether such a call had been both unreasonable and arbitrary.
“But what we’ve done before this court is put forth many sources (saying transgender women are women),” McLaughlin said.
OK, But…
But the women’s argument isn’t that Kappa merely interpreted the word “woman,” but added to it – in a sweeping rule change affecting the group’s purpose of 150 years, said Judge Richard Federico, a President Biden nominee who took his seat last year.
“Even the bylaws say ‘woman,’ period,” said Federico. “(The allegation is) you’re adding language. You’re creating a new category altogether.”
McLaughlin said Kappa’s bylaws give the governing council not only the right, but the duty to interpret club rules.
“An artful announcement of interpretation by a board does not warrant (court) interference,” she said.
Federico hinted that there may be a difference between sorority leaders interpreting rules about members’ grade-point averages and good character – and reinterpreting the word “woman.”
McLaughlin essentially retorted that, really, there isn’t.
“That this interpretation is something they take issue with, they disagree with, does not divest council of their right under Ohio rules to interpret (what a woman is),” she said.The argument ended with McHugh saying the judges would take the issues under advisement.

Red Lobster closing at least 99 locations as its future comes into question
Earlier this year, Thai Union, the largest investor in the largest seafood restaurant chain in the country, announced it was seeking to sell its stake.
May 14, 2024, By Rob Wile
At least 99 locations of Red Lobster are being auctioned off amid questions about the stalwart seafood chain's long-term future.
In a post Monday on LinkedIn, Neal Sherman, founder and CEO of TAGeX Brands, a liquidation firm, announced he was leading the closure of more than 50 Red Lobster locations, with the restaurants' equipment to be auctioned off.
A web page dedicated to the liquidations showed closure locations across the U.S. including in Denver; Indianapolis; Rochester, New York; Sacramento, California; San Antonio; and San Diego.
On Tuesday, Restaurant Business Magazine reported 99 locations were closing.
The closures represent about 15% of the company's approximately 700 locations, though it remains the largest seafood restaurant chain in the U.S.
Red Lobster has struggled with a significant debt load, unfavorable lease terms, executive turnover and ill-advised strategies including an all-you-can-eat-shrimp promotion last fall that resulted in a significant loss for the company.
Last month, CNBC reported Red Lobster was seeking a buyer as it looked to avoid a bankruptcy filing, but none have materialized.
Earlier this year, Thai Union, the largest investor in Red Lobster, announced it was seeking to exit its position.
“The combination of Covid-19 pandemic, sustained industry headwinds, higher interest rates and rising material and labor costs have impacted Red Lobster, resulting in prolonged negative financial contributions to Thai Union and its shareholders,” Thiraphong Chansiri, Thai Union Group’s CEO, said in a statement.
“After detailed analysis, we have determined that Red Lobster’s ongoing financial requirements no longer align with our capital allocation priorities and therefore are pursuing an exit of our minority investment.”

At least 8 people killed in Florida bus crash; dozens injured
Updated on: May 14, 2024 / 12:37 PM EDT
At least eight people were killed in a bus crash on a Florida highway Tuesday morning, the Florida Highway Patrol said. According to the highway patrol, the bus collided with a pickup truck on state road 40 in Marion County, which is located south of Gainesville and northwest of Orlando.
Approximately 40 people, including the truck driver, were taken to area hospitals after the crash, Highway Patrol Lt. Pat Riordan said during a news conference. Some of the injured were in very serious condition, Riordan said.
The crash involved a bus transporting about 53 farm workers and a 2001 Ford Ranger truck, the highway patrol said in a statement to CBS News.
The retired school bus was traveling west on the highway and the pickup truck was going east when the truck moved toward the center line at around 6:35 a.m., Riordan said.
The bus and truck collided in "a sideswipe-type manner," Riordan said. The collision sent the bus off the road and it went through a fence and hit a tree before it overturned.
It wasn't immediately known why the truck moved toward the center line, Riordan said.
The Marion County Sheriff's Office said on social media the part of the highway where the crash occurred would be shut down for most of the day.
The highway patrol is investigating the crash. Riordan said investigators will need at least six months to conduct the investigation.

Hunter Biden’s trial on gun charges will begin next month after judge rejects bid to delay
The president’s son pleaded not guilty to the federal charges
15 minutes ago
Hunter Biden’s trial for federal gun charges will begin next month after a Delaware judge rejected his bid to delay the trial until September.
Mr Biden’s attorneys told US District Judge Maryellen Noreika they needed several more months to decide on witnesses and review evidence submitted by the prosecution. His trial is set to begin 3 June, according to recent court filings. Mr Biden faces 25 years in prison and fines of up to $750,000.

Did you know that Donald Trump had his own game show in the early 90's? It was called Trump Card.
The show was filmed at the Trump Castle casino-hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Trump made a cameo appearance on its premiere episode to inaugurate the show with Jimmy Cefalo:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Supreme Court Justices Thomas And Alito Issue Warnings About State Of America
In separate remarks at two different events on Friday, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito issued warnings about the state of affairs in America today, including support for freedom of speech “declining dangerously” and the nation’s capital becoming a “hideous” place where cancel culture runs rampant.
Justice Thomas spoke at a conference of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Point Clear, Alabama, while Justice Alito delivered a commencement address at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, a Catholic college in Ohio, with both of the conservative-minded judges painting a dark picture—while encouraging action and offering hope.
At the Alabama event, Justice Thomas was asked to comment by the moderator—U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle—about what it’s like to work “in a world that seems meanspirited.”
“I think there’s challenges to that,” Justice Thomas said. “We’re in a world and we—certainly my wife and I the last two or three years it’s been—just the nastiness and the lies, it’s just incredible.”
Justice Thomas has faced heavy fire from Democrats who accuse him of skirting disclosure rules, of corruption in general, and of being too cozy with wealthy Republicans. They have not been able to point to any specific court cases in which the justice has misbehaved. Some activists have even pushed for Justice Thomas’s impeachment.
By contrast, over 100 former Supreme Court clerks signed an open letter last year defending Justice Thomas’s integrity, calling him a man of “unwavering principle” whose independence is “unshakable.” They called various critical stories that have targeted him as “malicious” and “perpetuating the ugly assumption that the Justice cannot think for himself.”
“They are part of a larger attack on the Court and its legitimacy as an institution,” the letter also stated. “The picture they paint of the Court and the man for whom we worked bears no resemblance to reality.”
Public opinion polls suggest public trust in the Supreme Court recently fell to new lows.
Addressing the criticism, Justice Thomas said at the Alabama conference that Washington had become a “hideous” place where “people pride themselves in being awful,” while characterizing America beyond the Beltway as a place where regular people “don’t pride themselves in doing harmful things.”
Justice Thomas also expressed concern that court writings have become inaccessible to the average person, engendering a sense of alienation.
“The regular people I think are being disenfranchised sometimes by the way that we talk about cases,” Justice Thomas said, while expressing hope that this could change.
‘It’s Rough Out There’
Justice Alito warned graduates at the Catholic college in Ohio that freedom of speech and religion were both being assailed in today’s America, while expressing hope that young people would take up the mantle and fight for positive change.
In his address, Justice Alito made a reference to pop culture, namely to a graduation speech delivered by the character Thornton Melon (played by Rodney Dangerfield) in the movie “Back to School.”
He jokingly cited Mr. Melon’s advice to graduates, which was not to go out into the world after graduating because “it’s rough out there” and instead move back in with their parents, let them pay all the bills, and “worry about it.”
“As Mr. Melon said, it is rough out there,” Justice Alito said. “It’s probably rougher out there now than it has been for quite some time. But that is precisely why your contributions will be so important.”
Justice Alito said that, outside the walls of the campus, “troubled waters are slamming against some of our most fundamental principles,” referring to freedom of speech.
“Support for freedom of speech is declining dangerously,” he continued, noting that this problem is especially acute on college campuses, which he said are places where the exchange of ideas should be most protected.
“Very few colleges live up to that ideal. This place is one of them … but things are not that way out there in the broader world,” Justice Alito said.

Israeli Tanks Plunge Deeper Into Rafah As 500,000 Palestinians Flee
Israeli tanks have been seen plunging deeper into the southern Gaza city of Rafah amid reports that some 500,000 people have fled amid the escalating ground offensive.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initially focused their operation on the eastern section of the city, having seized a key roadway that essentially cuts Rafah in half. "The tanks advanced this morning west of Salahuddin Road into the Brzail and Jneina neighborhoods. They are in the streets inside the built-up area and there are clashes," one resident told Reuters via a messaging app. Regional media also reports that "Video on social media showed one tank on George Street in Al-Jneina neighborhood."
The White House criticism that not enough has been done to evacuate civilians to safety has persisted. "One of the officials also warned that Israel has not come anywhere close to making adequate preparations – including building infrastructure related to food, hygiene and shelter – ahead of potentially evacuating more than one million Gazans are who currently reside in Rafah," the report continues.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan has clarified in a fresh statement that "The president was clear that he would not supply certain offensive weapons for such an operation were to occur." He underscored in a Monday briefing, "It has not yet occurred."
The words came after a dire prediction by Secretary of State Antony Blinken about the near-future fight if Israel goes 'all in' on Rafah. "Israel’s on the trajectory, potentially, to inherit an insurgency with many armed Hamas left, or, if it leaves, a vacuum filled by chaos, filled by anarchy and probably refilled by Hamas," he said Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press." Already the IDF has been forced to return to wage battle in some parts of northern Gaza after Hamas reappeared there, though these regions had already been pacified earlier in the conflict.
But on the whole the US now assesses Hamas capabilities have been "significantly degraded". State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said days ago, "You have seen their ability to launch the kind of attacks that they did on October 7 significantly degraded, if not completely eliminated."
"They couldn’t launch an attack of that scale today," Miller claimed. "Their weapons production factories underground have been eliminated. Most of their battalion leadership in the north and in central Gaza has been eliminated. So Israel has achieved a great number of its military objectives."
The US CENTCOM commander has been on the ground coordinating with IDF leadership, despite President Biden signaling to the public and angry progressives he's getting tough on Israel…

Witness Tampering?… Biden Ally Rep. Goldman Admits Meeting with Michael Cohen “Many Times” to “Prepare Him” for Testimony in Biden/Bragg Trial
During an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Rep. Goldman made the candid admission that he met with Michael Cohen a number of times to prepare him.
“I have deposed Michael Cohen. I have met with him a number of times to prepare him,” Goldman said.
However, Rep. Goldman’s involvement with Cohen is now under intense scrutiny. Despite acknowledging Cohen’s dubious credibility and being a convicted perjurer, stating that he “is an admitted perjurer…an admitted liar,” Goldman’s interactions with Cohen are being suspected by some as a deliberate attempt to shape his narrative against Trump.

Australian Government’s Overreach Slammed: Conservative Social Media ‘Gab’ Defies Censorship Demands, Faces $500,000 Fine for Upholding Free Speech
The conservative social media platform Gab has openly defied the Australian government’s demand to remove or censor a video depicting a tragic attack at the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in western Sydney.
While tech giants like Meta acquiesced to similar requests, Gab has told the Australian government to pound sand, potentially incurring a hefty fine of $500,000 USD.
The controversial video, which includes a poignant message from Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, who was wounded during the assault, became a flashpoint for a clash between censorship and the right to free speech.
Two days after six people were killed in a Sydney shopping mall last month by a serial stabber, who was ultimately shot dead by a female police officer, Bishop Mari Emmanuel of Christ The Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley was the target of a violent stabbing while preaching during an evening service.
After a 16-year-old Muslim terrorist stabbed the bishop during a live-streamed sermon, the video of the attack quickly spread online.
The platform, which prides itself as a bastion of unfettered expression, especially for conservative voices often silenced by mainstream social media, is now being threatened with a significant financial penalty.
The notice from Down Under warns of enforcement action that could lead to civil penalties amounting to $782,500 AUD for non-compliance—around half a million in US dollars.
Gab’s CEO, Andrew Torba, issued a fiery response:
We refuse to succumb to the pressure of the Australian government and will not censor the video posted by our user. We stand by our commitment to free speech and support the Assyrian Christ The Good Shepherd Church in their time of need. We encourage our users to share their thoughts, prayers, and support for Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and the entire congregation affected by this tragedy.

A New York Appeals court on Tuesday rejected President Trump’s request to lift crooked Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order.
The appeals court said Merchan “properly weighed” Trump’s First Amendment Rights.
Unbelievable!
“We find that Justice Merchan properly weighed petitioner’s First Amendment Rights against the court’s historical commitment to ensuring the fair administration of justice in criminal cases, and the right of persons related or tangentially related to the criminal proceedings from being free from threats, intimidation, harassment, and harm,” according to the order.

Office-loan delinquencies jump to nearly 6-year high, says Moody’s
The bill on past-due commercial property loans surpassed $19.1 billion in April.
Delinquencies on office loans rose to 6.4% in April — the highest level since June 2018 — as the payoff rate among borrowers with maturing debt from Wall Street plunged, according to a new Moody’s Ratings report.
A main driver of the monthly uptick was that only 24% of borrowers with maturing office loans in April repaid their mortgages, down from a roughly 45% to 50% rate last year, Moody’s said.
Instead of payoffs, property owners have increasingly looked for loan modifications, extensions and other forms of debt relief from lenders as the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates higher for longer than many expected. Titans of the commercial real-estate industry, including Starwood Property Trust’s Barry Sternlicht, have responded with ramped-up calls for the Fed to cut rates, especially with half of the estimated $4.7 trillion of outstanding commercial mortgage debt on buildings in the U.S. coming due through 2027. The office refinance rate has been low ever since interest rates increased in mid-2022 and 2023, as office lending standards have tightened and borrowers have been less willing and able to refinance office loans,” the Moody’s team wrote.
The Moody’s delinquency data was based on property loans on hotels, office buildings, shopping centers and other building types in multiborrower, or “conduit,” commercial mortgage-backed securities deals, not loans held by banks or other lenders.
The Moody’s team pegged the sector’s overall conduit-loan delinquency rate in April at 5.37%, which translates to a $19.13 billion loan balance, up from $18.22 billion a month earlier.

Merrick Garland and Chris Wray Proudly Announce Government Censorship Apparatus to Target “Cyber-Enabled Campaigns” and Censor Americans in Run-up to 2024 Election
Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and FBI Director Christopher Wray announced on Monday their latest plan to censor Americans under the guise of combatting “election threats.”
Attorney General Merrick Garland who is directly tied to the historic persecution of opposition candidate Donald J. Trump led the discussion today in Washington DC on election threats.
He should have mentioned his name first when he lectured on current election threats.
Merrick Garland today mentioned the DOJ and FBI’s work to protect elections from national security threats. Garland added, “It includes our National Security Division’s and the FBI’s work to protect our elections from national security threats, including malign foreign influence and cyber-enabled campaigns.”
Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) noted theconvenient timingof this announcement by Garland and Wray.
Just last week the Biden regime was forced to dissolve and disband the unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following a lawsuit by America First Legal and Ambassador Richard Grenell.

Those considered to be under influence from abroad will also be prohibited from serving as observers
Russian lawmakers on Tuesday passed a bill that bans individuals labeled as ‘foreign agents’ from seeking any political office in the country, according to a press release issued by the Federation Council, the upper chamber of Russia’s parliament.
According to the bill, those deemed foreign agents will no longer be able to stand as candidates in elections at either the municipal or federal level. Such persons will also be prohibited from taking part in elections as proxies of other candidates or observers, which effectively means that anyone working for NGOs or media companies that receive funds from abroad may be excluded from the election process.
The legislation was earlier passed by the State Duma, the lower chamber. It must now be signed by President Vladimir Putin to become law.
The changes essentially constitute a package of amendments to an existing law governing the activities of foreign agents in Russia first adopted in 2012. Under the law, those designated as foreign agents are not banned from operating in the country but are required to disclose their status and are subject to additional restrictions.
The latest amendments oblige anyone who decides to take part in elections to “cease their status as a foreign agent.” If it turns out that an already registered candidate has the status of foreign agent, a court can cancel such a candidate’s election registration. The bill also states that a citizen can be deprived of his or her currently held political position if designated a foreign agent. However, office holders are granted a 180-day period to relinquish this status before being removed.
Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin earlier called the new legislation “humane, democratic and liberal.” He emphasized that those labeled as foreign agents have the option of having the label removed by cutting ties with foreign funding and then reintegrating into the electoral process.
According to Volodin, there are currently ten foreign agents in the legislative bodies of Moscow, St. Petersburg and other Russian regions.
In 2022, Russia already amended the legislation to prohibit foreign agents from holding state office, taking part in electoral campaigns, engaging in educational activities, or receiving state funds. In March of this year, advertising on platforms belonging to foreign agents was banned. Those who fail to comply with the foreign agent legislation can face fines of up to 5 million rubles ($55,000) and up to six years in prison.

Utah mom sues AstraZeneca, claiming she was left ‘permanently disabled’ in COVID vaccine trial
A Utah mother who says she was “permanently disabled” after taking part in the US clinical trial of AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine is suing the drug manufacturer because it failed to cough up enough cash to cover her medical expenses.
Brianne Dressen, 42, was “the picture of good health” when she started the British-made vaccine’s clinical trial in 2020 — but ended up developing a severe neurological condition, the lawsuit filed Monday alleges.
“I walked into the clinic fine, and walked out the beginning of a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy,” Dressen said, per the court papers.

New Documents Reveal Training Materials Explaining to Noncitizens and Illegal Aliens How They Can Register to Vote in DC Elections
Excerpt from Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 13-pages of records in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from the District of Columbia, explaining to illegal aliens and other noncitizens how they can register to vote in local elections.
The PowerPoint presentation explains:

STRONGEST SOLAR FLARE OF THE CURRENT CYCLE - RADIO BLACKOUTS OVER ALL OF CONUS
Sunspot AR3664 just unleashed the strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle-an X8.7-category blast from beyond the sun's western limb. X marks the spot in this image of the flare from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory
Because the sunspot is behind the edge of the solar disk, the flare was partially eclipsed. It was probably even stronger than it appeared. "X8.7" is almost certainly an underestimate of the flare's true strength.
Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the top of Earth's atmosphere, causing a deep shortwave radio blackout over the Americas. Ham radio operators, aviators and mariners may have noticed a sudden loss of signal at all frequencies below 30 MHz.
Subatomic debris from this event might soon reach Earth, guided toward our planet by the Parker Spiral (read the story below for more information). Also, a CME might be in the offing. Stay tuned for updates!
Giant sunspot AR3664 is no longer facing Earth. That makes it extra dangerous. The Carrington-class sunspot is passing over the sun's western limb-a region of the sun that is magnetically connected to our planet. Indeed, we are feeling the effects of that connection right now; take a look at this map of ongoing radio blackouts
Red zones in the map show where shortwave radio signals are being absorbed. Inside the Arctic Circle, frequencies below 30 MHz are almost completely blacked out, a nuisance for polar aviators and ham radio operators.
What's causing this? Protons accelerated by solar flares in the magnetic canopy of AR3664 are following the Parker Spiral back to Earth. Think of it as a magnetic superhighway. The arriving particles are funneled by our planet's magnetic field toward the poles where they ionize the atmosphere and interfere with the normal transmission of shortwave radio.
This polar cap absorption event could last for days, especially if it is boosted by more flares from AR3664. You can can monitor its progress here.

Pfizer Earning Billions Treating Covid Vax-Induced Turbo Cancers
Pfizer is boasting that the pharmaceutical giant is now raking in billions of dollars in profits from treating the turbo cancer epidemic that was triggered by the company’s Covid mRNA vaccines.
According to company CEO Albert Bourla, Pfizer is cashing in from new “blockbuster” cancer drugs.
Bourla, a World Economic Forum (WEF) “agenda contributor,” is gloating that treating turbo cancers is “our new Covid.”
Speaking with Fox Business about how Pfizer plans to score big on the new turbo cancer market, Bourla announced that the deadly epidemic is translating into big profits for Pfizer investors.
Since profits from the company’s mRNA (modRNA) COVID jabs are drying up, Bourla is ready to unleash new chemical drugs to reinvigorate the profit streams.
The “pandemic” brought record revenue to Pfizer, which generated an astounding $157 billion overall from not just its “vaccine” but also Paxlovid, an oral antiviral medication.
In 2023, however, sales were down by more than half at only around $71 billion.
Since the end of 2022, Pfizer’s share price has likewise fallen by 42 percent due to a rapid decline in demand for all things COVID-related.
Pfizer responded with a major cost-cutting campaign that included laying off hundreds of people at its United Kingdom and United States facilities.
Of course, Bourla and the other executives at Pfizer were never planning to take a pay cut.
Conveniently, the company is now cashing in on the turbo cancer epidemic caused by the Covid mRNA injections.
As deadly cancers continue to spread rapidly among the general public, Big Pharma elites are enjoying the spoils.
“Oncology: it is our new COVID,” Bourla said excitedly, grinning from ear to ear while giving all the credit to himself and his friends.
“We did what we did with COVID.

Ohio A.G. Dave Yost Charges Protesters Under Ancient KKK Anti-Masking Law, Grand Jury Rejects Charge
ShareFacebookTwitterRedditTelegramVKEmail
Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost charged two pro-Palestine protesters under an ancient KKK anti-masking law in a bid to eliminate their First Amendment rights but a grand jury rejected the obscure felony charge in court on Monday.
From Cincinnati Enquirer, "Grand jury ignores felony disguise charges against pro-Palestinian protesters at Xavier":
A Xavier University student and a recent graduate arrested in connection with a campus protest were charged with felonies under a law that officials say had never been used in Hamilton County before.
The pair appeared in court Monday on charges they committed a crime while wearing disguises. Witnesses said they were wearing medical face masks. They are also charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor.
By Monday afternoon, the charges against Sophia Dempsey and Julia Lankisch, both 22, had been ignored by a grand jury. In Ohio, grand juries are held in secret, so details about why the charges were so quickly brought before the jurors and why they were ignored is not known.
The pair still face the misdemeanor trespassing charges.
Disguises law dates to 1800s but no record of use in Hamilton County
The protesters were initially charged under an 1800s era law used to target the Ku Klux Klan and other similar violent, vigilante groups. Attorney General Dave Yost pointed out the law in a letter to Ohio university presidents in response to the recent pro-Palestinian protests. It carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison.
Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Matthew Broo said staff at his office could find no records or recall anyone else ever being charged under this law in this county.
Israel-First Republicans and Democrats in the wake of October 7 have gone all in on passing "hate speech" laws to outlaw criticizing Jews and Israel - First Amendment be damned.

Quote: "We raised the issue of Russia's systematic attacks on our energy infrastructure and the possibilities for assistance in its restoration from Argentina. Our systems are partially similar so that Argentina can assist Ukraine with some spare parts." Details: Svyrydenko said they discussed with the Argentine minister the possibilities of deepening cooperation in the defence sector, including the creation of joint defence businesses, procurement of artillery ammunition and gunpowder, as well as investments in Argentine companies that produce weapons. Svyrydenko mentioned that Ukrainian companies have invited Argentine companies to participate in Ukraine’s investment projects in the agricultural sector. In particular, regarding equipment for temporary grain storage in silo bags. She also hopes that trade in agricultural products will increase, including the export of Ukrainian nitrogen fertilisers to Argentina.

Getting vaccinated for covid four or more times results in near-complete collapse of the immune system, bombshell study finds
Writer and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson says he has in his possession evidence from a study showing that covid "booster" vaccines push the immune system over the edge, causing an almost total collapse of immune function.
In a series of tweets, Berenson wrote that based on the study's findings, no more booster shots should go into any arms. (Related: Here's more proof that covid injections cause AIDS.)
"Boosters need to be halted immediately. HALTED. IMMEDIATELY. Stack coming," Berenson wrote, Stack referring to his Substack blog. "There's a new paper. It's bad. How bad? I've shown it to two physicians so far. One said he 'had a seizure' reading it. The other said something worse."
The study comes from China, which is where many believe the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) originated. It shows that after the fourth injection – meaning the two primary jabs and two subsequent booster shots – a person's immune system is pretty much shot.
A summary of the study explains that, despite being unleashed all around the world under Operation Warp Speed, covid injections have no known efficacy and their "potential adverse effects remain largely unknown." This in and of itself suggests that nobody should be getting these injections.
Since many already have, researchers decided to compare the humoral and cellular immune responses of an extended course of recombinant receptor binding domain, or RBD, vaccine boosters in a mouse model. Here is what they found:
"Multiple vaccine boosters after the conventional vaccination course significantly decreased RBD-specific antibody titers and serum neutralizing efficacy against the Delta and Omicron variants, and profoundly impaired CD4+ and CD8+T cell activation and increased PD-1 and LAG-3 expressions in these T cells."

Reminder
CDC Faked 99% of Reported Covid Deaths, Data Shows
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just quietly published new data that revealsa staggering 99% of reported “Covid deaths” were not actually caused by the virus.
Recent data from the CDC reveals a troubling statistic showing that most recorded fatalities that were blanket-blamed on Covid were actually caused by something else.
According to the CDC’s Covid dashboard, just 1.7% of the 324 “Covid deaths” registered in the week ending August 19 had the coronavirus as the primary cause of death.
Alarmingly, the vast majority of people who were labeled as so-called “Covid deaths” actually died of other causes such as cancer and heart disease.

I'm proud to have co-signed this letter urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to reject the WHO Pandemic Treaty and proposed changes to the International Health Regulations. This is a stance I've long advocated for and, in fact, was the first member of parliament to call for a WHO Exit, focusing on prioritising the well-being of Australians above unelected bureaucrats.
Despite the proposals being water down recently, the fact the WHO suggested them in the first place is reason enough for us to completely #ExitTheWho and put #AustraliansFirst.

When only 5 of 65 Liberal Party members in the Federal Parliament are prepared to sign a letter calling on the government not to sign the WHO global pandemic treaty - what’s the point of anyone voting Liberal ?
When it comes to selling out Australia’s sovereignty to the WHO globalists - Labor & Liberal are the UniParty.

While we have been worrying about the WHO Pandemic Treaty and the threats to liberty it poses, the United States Government has a plan to seize control of the “Global Health Security Agenda”.
$30 Billion for a worldwide plan with cross coordination between 70 governments with US agencies like the HHS and USAID taking the lead.
So even if the WHO Treaty fails it doesn’t mean the power grab goes away. Read this 64 page report and tell me I’m wrong.

Federal Judge Tosses Biden Admin's Effort to Stop Media Censorship Lawsuit
Monday, 13 May 20241/2
A lawsuit that claims the State Department unlawfully used "censorship enterprises that target the American press" — favoring left-leaning media outlets over conservative news sites — is moving ahead after a federal judge rejected the Biden administration’s attempt to dismiss the case.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, The Daily Wire, and The Federalist filed a joint lawsuit against the Biden administration’s State Department in December over its alleged funding of technologies that essentially work to blacklist conservative media outlets.
The complaint argued that the State Department uses its Global Engagement Center to finance the development and promotion of left-wing media monitoring organizations, including NewsGuard and the UK-based Global Disinformation Index, in "one of the most egregious government operations to censor the American press in the history of the nation."
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle in Tyler, Texas, ruled that the plaintiffs had provided enough information to show they had standing to challenge the State Department's alleged actions.
Kernodle denied the Biden administration's request to dismiss the suit, tossed its request to move the case to a different venue, and ordered expedited discovery.
In his ruling, Kernodle cited allegations that the State Department's actions essentially encouraged social media companies to "deplatform" the Daily Wire and The Federalist in violation of a Texas state law, which prohibits censoring speech based on viewpoint.
NewsGuard, GDI, and other "disinformation" watchdog groups have a long history of systematically targeting conservative media outlets under the guise of combating misinformation.
Margot Cleveland, an attorney at the New Civil Liberties Alliance, which is representing Daily Wire and the Federalist in the case, told Newsmax that while the ruling is “only the first step in halting the State Department's unconstitutional and ultra vires conduct, it represents an important first step in this case.”
"That the Court opened his opinion by quoting the First Amendment is a valuable reminder of the stakes at issue," she said.
Kernodle’s ruling begins by quoting directly from the First Amendment and previous rulings that have bolstered the component’s importance to the Constitution.
"Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press," the order begins.
Cleveland added that while Daily Wire and The Federalist may be the only media plaintiffs involved in this specific case, the State Department's "censorship scheme threatens the freedom of the press of any American outlet that reports disfavored views, including Newsmax."
Paxton’s office called Kernodle's ruling an "important victory" in its lawsuit against the Biden administration's "conspiracy to censor, deplatform, and demonetize media outlets disfavored by the federal government."
"The Biden administration made a reprehensible attempt to censor the American press with funding intended to monitor foreign propaganda, aiming to repress viewpoints the federal government disagreed with," Paxton said in a statement.
"Abusing taxpayer money, Biden repurposed a government agency into a censorship apparatus. It must stop, and I am proud to lead the nation's fight to save the First Amendment."
His office issued a press release about the latest update in the case noted that even though the "Global Engagement Center" was “only authorized to counter foreign propaganda,” the State Department "actively intervened in the news-media market to limit the reach and business viability of domestic news organizations by funding censorship technology and private censorship enterprises."

"The agency unlawfully weaponized the center to violate the First Amendment and suppress Americans’ constitutionally protected speech," Paxton’s office alleged.
The Daily Wire previously reported that the Global Engagement Center was founded in 2011 as the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications, where it was responsible for countering the propaganda of foreign terrorists like al-Qaida.
The initiative was renamed in 2016, however, it kept the same counterterrorism mission.
It’s stated mission is to "direct, lead, synchronize, integrate, and coordinate U.S. Federal Government efforts to recognize, understand, expose, and counter foreign state and non-state propaganda and disinformation efforts aimed at undermining or influencing the policies, security, or stability of the United States, its allies, and partner nations."
Congress has not authorized any funds to be used for purposes other than countering foreign propaganda and disinformation.
However, the suit contends that taxpayer dollars were used to pay for the services of companies that have a history of targeting conservative media outlets by limiting ad revenue.
To do so, GDI, which claims to be nonpolitical and nonpartisan, offers a "Dynamic Exclusion List" of global media outlets that it contends present a "high risk for disinformation."
While its blacklist is kept under wraps, it does publish its top 10 "riskiest" outlets, which have featured prominent conservative media outlets, including the Daily Wire, the Federalist, New York Post, and others.
The outlets deemed "least risky" are mostly left-leaning sites such as NPR, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.
GDI’s list is disseminated to major advertising companies for use in their decision-making process. Many ad platforms are using these blacklists to effectively de-monetize conservative and right-leaning media.
The complaint argues that GDI was "funded and promoted" by the State Department defendants named in the suit, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and five other officials.
NewsGuard, which also reportedly received State Department funding, has negatively rated leading conservative outlets like the Washington Times, Newsmax, Breitbart, The Federalist, Epoch Times, Red State, PragerU, The Daily Wire, and others.
In a 2020 press release, NewsGuard touted winning a $25,000 Pentagon-State Department contest for “detecting COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation.”
NewsGuard has previously defended contracts it was awarded from the Biden administration.
In 2021, it received nearly $750,000 from the Pentagon.
In March 2023, the company told Newsmax that the particular contract was not "government funded."
"NewsGuard has been inaccurately described as a "U.S. government funded" entity — which is like saying Verizon is government-funded because some government agencies pay for its phone services," company spokesman Matt Skibinski said in an email to Newsmax.
"NewsGuard is a for-profit business. We sell licenses to clients to access our data about misinformation and disinformation sources and narratives.:
Skibinski claimed his organization was "proud" to have worked with the U.S. government to counter disinformation campaigns emanating from Russia, Venezuela, and China.
NewsGuard was found by businessman Steven Brill, a long time Democrat activist and donor who has backed candidates such as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
The Media Research Center in two annual studies found NewsGuard ratings were significantly biased against conservative media outlets in favor of more liberal ones.
The NewsGuard ratings. in turn, are used by major advertising agencies to effectively block conservative media from receiving advertising. Their ratings effectively works to demonetize conservative media.
Increasingly Congress has become concerned that NewsGuard engages in a privatized form of censorship on behalf of the government.
Last December, Congress passed a provision in the National Defense bill prohibiting the Pentagon from awarding military recruitment advertising to any advertising agency that uses “misinformation” services such as NewsGuard and GDI. President Biden signed the defense bill into law.

SYDNEY : The great replacement has commenced.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) population data for the 2022-23 financial year revealed that 38,425 residents left Sydney over the year.
In the same period, record migration resulted in 156,616 net overseas migrant arrivals in Sydney.
Since 2001, Sydney’s population has increased by 1.35 million people, nearly entirely due to net overseas migration.
This is madness.
Yet weak, cowardly & gutless Labor & Liberal politicians attempt to blame "lack of supply" for the exodus of Sydney families from the city.
Australia must slash migration numbers, but only ONE NATION has the courage to say that.

Joe Biden Announces Tariffs on Non-Existent Products from Non-Existent Origination Country – Here’s Why
May 14, 2024 | Sundance1/2
It was predictable [SEE HERE] and it happened exactly as predicted.
BlackRock investment firm writes the regulatory and economic policy for Joe Biden’s administration. That’s the quid-pro-quo that maintains the Biden political financial operation. All of DC know it. No one does not know. The one’s who claim they do not know about it are all pretending. Republicans take the background BlackRock bribes and pretend.
BlackRock positioned massive investment assets inside Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and Chery. The three Chinese companies are in the process of moving North American auto manufacturing to Mexico, specifically to make EV’s. The Chinese EV’s made in Mexico will come into the U.S market tariff free under the USMCA trade agreement. China and BlackRock will make billions.
Today Joe Biden announced a series of tariffs against China in the EV industry. [SEE HERE]The Chinese EV’s are not being made in China. The tariff regime is a farce a total joke.
Pic 1
Biden might as well be announcing tariffs on Chinese swimming poolsflown into the USA via hot air balloon. There will be more Chinese swimming pools delivered from China than Chinese EV’s. The Chinese EV’s come from Mexico. ==The tariff is fake.
WHITE HOUSE […] To further encourage China to eliminate the acts, policies, and practices at issue, and to counteract the burden or restriction of these acts, policies, and practices, the Trade Representative shall modify the two actions to increase section 301 ad valorem rates of duty for the following products from China:
• Battery parts (non-lithium-ion batteries): Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024;
• Electric vehicles: Increase rate to 100 percent in 2024;
Lithium-ion electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024;
• Lithium-ion non-electrical vehicle batteries: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026;
• Natural graphite: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2026;
• Other critical minerals: Increase rate to 25 percent in 2024; (read more)
None of this stuff is coming from China. It is all coming from Mexico via transnational shippingand Chinese manufacturing in Mexico. [Check Date]
Pic 2
On the EV issue, this tariff approach is politically duplicitous by Biden against the backdrop of massive investment in Mexico by the three largest Chinese EV automakers. Last December the three Chinese auto manufacturers, MG, BYD, and2 Chery, announced they were going to spend billions building new EV manufacturing plants in Mexico. Each Chinese auto manufacturer was going to spend between $1.5 to $2.0 billion.
Those Mexican built Chinese EV’s would pass into the USA market under current USMCA trade rules and regulations, as long as they technically meet the material origination rules. This can make tariffs against the Chinese imported EVs a moot point, because China will be making them in Mexico (North American trade agreement).
One of the reasons President Trump said the U.S. auto industry would suffer a “bloodbath,” is specifically because the current Chinese auto companies are targeting these EV’s in the $10,000 or less range. If you want to see what it looks like when cheap Chinese EV’s start to flood a consumer market, visit Russia – the western sanctions have only increased this flow. I can see it clear as day….

CERN's Decision to Cut Ties with Russia Sparks Controversy
May 14, 2024
The recent decision by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to terminate its collaboration with Russia has sparked significant debate among the scientific community.
According to Russian and European scientists contacted by swissinfo this move inadvertently supports Russian President Vladimir Putin's war efforts in Ukraine and sets a dangerous precedent.
Russian contributions to CERN's scientific research have been substantial. The decision to sever ties with Russia and Belarus was made by CERN's Council in December 2023 in response to the ongoing illegal military invasion of Ukraine by Russia.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the decision in March, labeling it as "politicized, discriminatory, and unacceptable."
This unprecedented decision comes after nearly 60 years of scientific collaboration between CERN and Russia.
The collaboration began in the 1960s during the Cold War and continued with Russia becoming an observer state in 1991.
Over the years, Russia has made significant financial and scientific contributions, particularly to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
Financial and Operational Impacts
The cessation of this partnership will have notable financial repercussions for CERN. Russia contributed over 2 million Swiss francs annually until 2022, funding around 4.5% of the LHC's experimental costs over the past 30 years.
To compensate for the loss of Russian funding, CERN will need to secure an additional 40 million Swiss francs for the High Luminosity LHC upgrade project.
Moreover, the loss of Russian expertise and personnel is expected to impact CERN's operations. Approximately 500 scientists affiliated with Russian and Belarusian institutions will be forced to cease their research at CERN.
This includes scientists like Fedor Ratnikov from the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, who expressed his dismay over the decision and its implications for scientific collaboration.
Political Over Science
Former CERN employee Maurizio Bona and other scientists have voiced concerns about the political motivations behind the decision.
Bona highlighted that CERN had traditionally operated independently of political pressures, focusing solely on scientific endeavors and promoting intercultural dialogue and peace.
The move to exclude Russia and Belarus marks a shift in this approach, with political considerations now influencing scientific collaboration.
Russian physicist Andrei Rostovtsev argued that the decision to exclude Russia from CERN serves Putin's narrative that surrounding countries are adversaries, thus justifying increased military expenditure at the expense of scientific research. Rostovtsev and other critics fear that this politicization of science could hinder future international collaborations and scientific progress.

China plans to pump out thousands of cheap, what I would consider semi-disposable, electric cars into the USA market. That’s why they have invested so heavily in Mexico. Keep in mind,Blackcock(a Biden benefactor investment firm) is enmeshed with this Chinese move.
This tariff claim by the Biden administration on “import Chinese EV’s” is optics only for political benefit. Whereas the 100% tariffs proposed by Donald Trump specifically target Chinese EV’s made in Mexico.
Stand back and elevate your thinking on this Chinese EV issue; the substance of it is a consequence of a much larger dynamic.It is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
There is a cleaving underway, a dedollarization that continues in global trade. Nations are no longer relying (dependent) on dollars as the baseline for trade parity; they are determining their own nation to nation trade valuations outside the use of the dollar as a benchmark.
The result of this dedollarization taking place is massive inflation inside the USA that continues as the dollar (yellow zone) is weakened against the increasingly non-dollar-aligned world (grey zone). The frequency of dollar use is lessening as alternatives are being used.
Trade into the yellow zone still requires a benchmark of dollars, but bilateral trade within the grey zone increasingly does not. This is the root of the global financial and economic cleaving. Mexico is not stupid.

China is trying to position their transportation sector (auto, planes, trains and mass transit manufacturing) as Apple manufacturing is to cell phone use. Some of these disposable Chinese electric vehicles are actually impressive, which makes sense when you consider that China steals the engineering and design elements from knuckleheaded western corporations who use China for industrial manufacturing (see Tesla etc).

Republican-Led States Sue Biden Administration
Over New Transgender Protections
National Review, by David Zimmerman
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/14/2024 6:22:42 PM
Eighteen Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over the federal agency’s new sexual-harassment guidance that enforces broad legal protections for transgender workers. The federal lawsuit, filed on Monday by Tennessee attorney general Jonathan Skrmetti, argues that the EEOC is overstepping its constitutional limits by unlawfully placing gender identity under the purview of Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. The states agree with the 2020 Supreme Court ruling, Bostock v. Clayton County, that firing employees because they are transgender or gay constitutes sex-based discrimination. The plaintiffs, however, argue that the decision does not weigh on the accommodations

Another State Just Banned Biological Men
From Women's Spaces
Townhall, by Madeline Leesman
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/14/2024 6:13:01 PM
Republican Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves announced on Monday that he signed a bill into law that protects women from so-called “transgender” people in their restrooms and locker rooms. Advertisement “The far-left radicals aren’t going to like it… but in Mississippi, we’re going to protect women’s spaces,” Reeves, who has three daughters, wrote on X. “It’s mind blowing that this is what Joe Biden’s America has come to. Having to pass common sense policies that protect women’s spaces was unimaginable just a few years ago. But here we are… we have to pass a law to protect women in bathrooms, sororities, locker rooms, dressing rooms, shower rooms, and more,” he explained.

The Most Important Election in Georgia
Is One That Many Voters Could Overlook
PJ Media, by Chris Queen
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/14/2024 2:20:51 PM
When you go into the voting booth, it’s easy to focus on the big races. Those high-profile contests at the federal and state level get the most coverage, and you can do your homework and learn about the candidates. If you have your ear to the ground or have decent local media, you can do the same with some local races. But every state has those down-ballot races that are often nonpartisan and don’t get much media coverage. It’s easy to ignore races like these when you don’t know anything about the candidates. Georgia has one of those races this year that is buried way down on next Tuesday’s ballot,

In separate remarks at two different events on Friday, Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito issued warnings about the state of affairs in America today, including support for freedom of speech “declining dangerously” and the nation’s capital becoming a “hideous” place where cancel culture runs rampant. Justice Thomas spoke at a conference of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Point Clear, Alabama, while Justice Alito delivered a commencement address at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, a Catholic college in Ohio, with both of the conservative-minded judges painting a dark picture—while encouraging action and offering hope

Attempt to start WW3 No. 10,563
Putin Plotting 'Physical Attacks' On West, UK Intelligence Warns, Amid Spate Of Mystery Arsons
A top British intelligence official has issued a new alarmist warning concerning the 'Russian threat' to the West. Anne Keast-Butler, who for the last year has headed up the UK's GCHQ, or signals intelligence operations (which is the equivalent of America's NSA), has warned in her first major speech that President Putin is plotting "physical attacks" against Western targets.
Addressing cyber security experts in Birmingham, the GCHQ director claimed that Moscow is busy "nurturing and inspiring" groups of cyber attackers, and is even "in some cases seemingly coordinating physical attacks against the West."
She said that alongside Russia, China poses an "epoch-defining" risk to long-term UK national security as well. She admitted that currently China is taking up "more resource… than any other single mission" at GCHQ.
But ultimately she focused the speech on British intelligence being "increasingly concerned about growing links between the Russian intelligence services and proxy groups to conduct cyber-attacks – as well as suspected physical surveillance and sabotage operations."
She also said at a moment the major new Kharkiv offensive is underway that "Putin has not given up on his maximalist goal of subjugating the population of Ukraine."
Her dire assessment comes as the British government is seeking to crack down on Russian diplomatic sites in the UK which are suspected of being dual Russian intelligence hubs.
There have also been recent new accusations of specific attacks on UK infrastructure being linked to Russia. For example The Telegraph writes that "Last week, a British man was charged with an arson attack in London and accused by prosecutors of working for Wagner Group, the Russian paramilitary organization."
The same report notes that "Russia has long been accused of protecting cyber gangs that target Western organizations, allowing them to operate with relative impunity as they carry out sophisticated hacks."
"Last week, the National Crime Agency named Dmitry Khoroshev, a Russian national, as the person behind LockBit – a ransomware group that had stolen hundreds of millions of pounds from businesses," The Telegraph continues.

Ilya and OpenAI are going to part ways. This is very sad to me; Ilya is easily one of the greatest minds of our generation, a guiding light of our field, and a dear friend. His brilliance and vision are well known; his warmth and compassion are less well known but no less important.
OpenAI would not be what it is without him. Although he has something personally meaningful he is going to go work on, I am forever grateful for what he did here and committed to finishing the mission we started together. I am happy that for so long I got to be close to such genuinely remarkable genius, and someone so focused on getting to the best future for humanity.
Jakub is going to be our new Chief Scientist. Jakub is also easily one of the greatest minds of our generation; I am thrilled he is taking the baton here. He has run many of our most important projects, and I am very confident he will lead us to make rapid and safe progress towards our mission of ensuring that AGI benefits everyone.

Aaron Rodgers and Tucker remind everyone that Ghislaine Maxwell was indicted for trafficking children to no one and likely worked for the Mossad, Epstein didn't kill himself in Federal Prison, and talk about the Bohemian Grove and secret societies blackmailing elites in our society. This kind of rhetoric is becoming mainstream. Normalize exposing elite who commit crimes against children. Boom!
"How many Jeffrey Epstein type people are out there? And who is pulling the strings on that?
Ghislaine Maxwell has a lot of ties to the Mossad. That would make sense. I mean Jeffrey didn't seem to get some of the appointments based on merit, someone was putting him in the right spots. I don't think he's the only one. I think there is a weird bizarre problem that has a sex component with the elites. There's a pedophile component to it as well which is really sick…
I would like that to be exposed. Jeffrey Epstein had the goods on everybody. There's a lot of people that didn't want him to be alive. The wild story around multiple people being asleep, him not being watched at the time. I just don't believe in that many coincidences.
Tucker:
"He was murdered in federal detention in Manhattan. I don't think there's any question about that. And people lied about it."
Rodgers:
"The Ghislaine Maxwell trial had next to no coverage. Trafficked to nobody. She is indicted for trafficking kids and nobody who she was trafficking kids to got indicted or named. And all the files still haven't been released…Super prominent names on the flight logs…
I've seen some interesting things.. Been around some interesting parties and gatherings that are strange. Not anything like Diddy party… Even at an Oscar party seeing how some of these people act, a little strange. Parties within the party that always kind of weirded me out a little bit.
Getting into conspiracy stuff…Then you know about secret society stuff the Bohemian Grove..The secrecy around that. That's not the only secret society…The Skull and Bones at Yale which has produced all those Presidents… And the Freemasonry at its highest level.. There is a sexual component to a lot of that.. Obviously with Epstein it was blackmail to get them to do what they want… How many people are compromised by that that are in positions of power today? You are naive to think it's none." @AaronRodgers12

Snopes, a fact-checking website, quietly changed a fact check about a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Joe Biden’s daughter, being real. The fact-checking website describes the diary, which was written by Ashley Biden, describing “actions taken toward her” by the president when she was younger that are “not appropriate,” according to Snopes.This comes a month after Ashley Biden wrote a letter on April 8 to Chief Judge Laura Taylor Swain of the Southern District of New York. The younger Biden acknowledged the existence of the diary, writing that she was “deeply saddened” to “even have to write”

Abbott Trolls CA Over Police Officer Exodus
to TX: 'Never Forget the Leftist Policies
That You Fled'
Red State, by Bob Hoge

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott responded to a Sunday article in Daily Mail that detailed the large number of cops ditching California for the pastures of Texas, which might not be greener but are certainly more friendly to law enforcement. Morale is low among peace officers in the Golden State as soft-on-crime woke district attorneys like LA’s George Gascón and Alameda County’s Pamela Price, along with criminal-loving measures like Proposition 47, make them feel undermined and unwelcome. Thousands of them are getting out of Dodge, the outlet reported: …the Golden State is hemorrhaging thousands of police every year, with numbers down by more than 5,000 since 2019.

Asian Stocks to Follow US Rally With Focus on CPI
(Muh NASDAQ closed at a record high so everyone seems to be in the long pool-which is now the crowded trade do tread lightly as the meme stocks helped but AMC basically ded meat-that FUGLY from $9 to below $6 andback to about $6.88 as the secondary told ya what it was really worth and it’s “about tree-fiddy” >>161856 pb GameStop’s short interest is 64,370,000 shares but that is non-naked reported volumes so this has a few moar days in it then it’s over-AMC pretty much told you that plus this comes as the markets have run out of gas and not many are short….how much did they pay that douche yo “resurface” after 3 years at market highs?….not a coincide imo…Japanese Yields on Govt debt still at 11year highs and that shows no sign of cooling off -10y cap 3 and 20y cap 4 and cap 5 our 10y just under 4.5%-have broken out above the recent highs of Oct 2023 but unless the BoJ reversed its stated trajectory on bond monetizing however muh yen has retraced about 2/3rds of the total intervention so Mr. Bond has to be dealt with sooner or later)
Stocks in Asia are poised to follow a big tech-led rally in US benchmarks, as investors look to key inflation data later Wednesday for clues on the Federal Reserve’s next steps. Equity futures for Japan and Australia pointed higher, while those for Hong Kong were little changed with that market closed for a holiday. In the run-up to US consumer price index data, the S&P 500 shrugged off Jerome Powell’s signals that interest rates will be higher for longer(the rate THEY control is Prime and rates could go higher especially if Japan doesn’t take the same route in those currency interventions as they used cash instead of US Treasuries at the end of April)a mixed reading on producer inflation. The report weighed on bond yields and oil. Tesla Inc. and Nvidia Corp. led gains in the “Magnificent Seven” cohort of megacaps, as meme-stock traders once again piled into GameStop Corp. and AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. US futures were little changed in early Asia trading. Underlying US inflation probably moderated in April for the first time in six months, offering some hope that price pressures will start to ease again. Compared with April 2023, the core CPI is projected to rise 3.6%. While the annual increase would be the smallest in three years, it would still be too high to warrant rate cuts. A survey conducted by 22V Research showed 49% of investors expect the market reaction to the CPI report to be “risk-on” — while only 27% said “risk-off.” The S&P 500 rose to around 5,247, just shy of the March 28 closing level of 5,254.35 that would mark its 23rd record in 2024. Treasury 10-year yields fell five basis points to 4.44%, a Bloomberg gauge of the dollar declined for the first time in three days and oil slipped 1.4% in New York while gold rose. The Nasdaq Golden Dragon Index of US-listed Chinese companies slipped from a seven-month high reached Monday. US producer prices rose in April by more than projected >>161883 pb
The options market is betting that the S&P 500 will move 1% in either direction after today’s CPI report.

Two Virginia universities scrap DEI requirements
after Youngkin audit
Washington Examiner [DC], by Breccan F. Thies
Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/14/2024 10:40:00 AM
Two public universities in Virginia have scrapped their planned diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements after a review by Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s (R-VA) administration. Virginia Commonwealth University and George Mason University canceled their plans to implement DEI-oriented classes as a requirement for undergraduate studies after Youngkin raised concerns about “core curriculum mandates that are a thinly veiled attempt to incorporate the progressive Left’s groupthink.” However, while the VCU Board of Visitors voted 10-5 publicly in a meeting on Friday to reject a “racial literacy” requirement just before the fall 2024 academic semester,

US wholesale inflation just hit its highest

Americans already contending with persistent and stubbornly high inflation just got more unwelcome news on Tuesday: There are more price hikes likely coming down the pike. Wholesale inflation picked up in April to its highest rate in a year, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Tuesday. (Snip) “The concern here is that we now have a trend, an upward trend in producer prices, which can only be passed through to consumers and result in upward pressure on consumer price inflation over the coming months,” Kurt Rankin, senior economist for the PNC Financial Services Group, told CNN in an

In 2018 Cohen was incarcerated, so he was in jail while meeting with them. Miraculously, he got out of prison early for “covid” precautions, right after he started working with the prosecutors.
This is a sham trial and I hope Trump pi’s quickly acquitted! How many more attempts can they make to stop him from winning in November?

Joe Biden’s America. An illegal alien from El Salvador who entered the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation was arrested in the murder of a 33-year-old West Virginia woman. David Antonio Calderon, 46, was arrested in Virginia after authorities found an unidentified woman on a burning couch in a field in Martinsburg. “Early findings from the state Medical Examiner’s Office point to burn injuries as the likely cause of death.” West Virginia News reported. According to police, Calderon, who went by the nickname “Amigo,” also attacked two homeless people with a baseball bat in April.

Oscar Blue Ramirez reporting for Real America’s Voice News – live stream May 13, 2024
Newly-elected President of Panama, José Raúl Mulino says he will close the Darien Gap to migration.
Organized Crime in Colombia has enriched themselves out of human misery while destroying the culture of the indigenous tribes. President José Raúl Mulino wants to decontaminate the jungle that has become an environmental disaster of this mass migration.
The Non-Government Organizations (NGO’s) are calling President Mulino inhumane and violating human rights. Oscar Blue states that the Panamanian President is protecting the sovereignty of his nation and its border while preventing people from dying (in this dangerous border crossing, the Darien Gap).
The NGO’s offer no solutions and are demanding that the Darien Gap crossing remain open simply because they are the ones profiting from this human misery.
International Organizations, Cartels, NGO’s (like the ones operating within the United States at the southern border) businesses, and individuals are benefiting from government and private funding…reaping large sums of money in this human trafficking situation.

JUST IN: In a 2018 letter to the FEC, Michael Cohen’s own attorney stated “Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford. Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly.”
Prosecutors are using this as an attempt to show Trump lied, but this letter has nothing to do with Trump. Cohen wrote this with his own attorneys. His story has changed so much he can no longer be considered a credible witness.
Why isn’t the media pointing out these facts?

CHARLESTON, WV: "Two-term Governor Jim Justice has won the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, a race that was called shortly after voting concluded. MetroNews and other outlets called the race early on. The Associated Press called the race for Justice at 8:15 p.m.
“I love the people of West Virginia, and they know me through and through. They have the opportunity to judge me by my deeds; they’ve done that,” Justice said on MetroNews’ election coverage. “That’s why we have this landslide, landslide, landslide.”
Joe Manchin, a Democrat, decided not to run for reelection in increasingly Republican-leaning West Virginia this year. So the seat is open and most national pundits believe the seat is likely to swing to a Republican.
Justice is a two-term governor who first won that office as a Democrat in 2016. He switched parties in 2017 at a rally for then-President Donald Trump, citing his close relationship with Trump and saying he could accomplish more as a Republican. Trump announced an endorsement for Justice several months ago."

Vatican City, May 1, 2019 / 10:35 am
A group of nineteen Catholics, including some prominent academics, have published an open letter to the bishops of the world accusing Pope Francis of heresy.
The letter, made public on April 30, was dated "Easter week" and signed by 19 individuals, including Fr. Aiden Nichols OP, an internationally recognized theologian and author. The 15-page letter begins by asking the bishops of the world to take some action against the pope.
"We are addressing this letter to you for two reasons: first to accuse Pope Francis of the canonical delict of heresy, and second, to request that you take the steps necessary to deal with the grave situation of a [sic] heretical pope."
The letter lists seven specific areas of Church teaching where the signatories believe the pope has "through his words and actions, publicly and pertinaciously" demonstrated his belief in "propositions that contradict divine law."
The complaints focus on supposed teachings of the pope concerning sexuality and morality which they claim run contrary to the Church's magisterium. The letter highlights what the signatories believe to be problematic passages from the pope's 2016 post-synodal apostolic exhortation Amoris laetitia, especially concerning Catholics in irregular marital situations.
Among specific heretical beliefs the letter accuses the pope of holding is the position that a Catholic can, with full knowledge of divine law, violate that law and not be in a state of grave sin.
The letter also references a number of bishops, cardinals, and priests whom the authors claim are themselves heretical and the pope either appointed or allowed to remain in office, as further proof of the Holy Father's "heresy."

Jason Carter (inset) said at a mental health forum on Tuesday that the life of his grandfather Jimmy Carter (top) is 'coming to the end'. The 99-year-old former president has been in hospice care for more than a year after deciding to forego any further medical treatment. Since then his beloved wife Rosalynn (together bottom) has passed away and he has been living at home with regular visits from his family. The Georgia peanut farmer has already survived metastatic brain and liver cancer.

The wing of a Boeing 757 jet owned by former President Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport after landing safely and taxiing early Sunday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his aircraft when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
The wing of the Boeing jet owned by former President Donald Trump struck a parked plane at a Florida airport after landing safely and taxiing early Sunday morning, the Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday.
It is not known if Trump, who had held a campaign rally in Wildwood, New Jersey, on Saturday, was on his Boeing 757 when its winglet struck the rear elevator of a parked VistaJet in West Palm Beach.
No injuries were reported in the collision.
The FAA notice about the incident, which occurred at 1:19 a.m. ET on Sunday, gives the tail number of Trump’s aircraft, N757AF.
In a statement, the FAA said, “A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12.”
“While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet,” the FAA said. “The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft. The FAA is investigating.”
A winglet is a short fin that projects upward from the wing of an aircraft. They are used to reduce aerodynamic drag.
CNBC has requested comment from a spokesman from Trump’s presidential campaign about the incident.
Trump maintains a residence at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach.

Over $13 Million Paid Out In Vaccine Injury Claims In Australia
The Australian government has paid out $20.5 million (US$13.2 million) in COVID-19 vaccine injury claims to people who experienced harm from the jab.
Services Australia data provided to The Epoch Times reveals 6.82 percent of claims have been compensated so far, that is 286 out of 4,191.
“As at 31 March 2024, the COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme has received 4,191 claims and paid 286 claims to the value of around $20.5 million,” a spokesperson said.
“Services Australia expects to receive new claims until the COVID-19 Vaccine Claims Scheme’s end date of 30 September 2024.”
The updated figures up to the end of March, follow a submission to the government’s COVID-19 Inquiry, revealing it had paid $16.9 million worth of claims up to the end of November 2023.
The federal government is due to deliver a budget for 2024/2025 covering all government agencies in the evening on May 14.

China set to host Putin as economic ties grow under Western pressure
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit China on Thursday in an attempt to shore up ties with Beijing seen as crucial for the war in Ukraine.
The two-day trip carries symbolic as well as practical significance. It marks Putin's first journey abroad since his inauguration for a fifth term about a week ago, mirroring Chinese President Xi Jinping's decision to make Moscow his first destination after starting his third term last year.
But Putin is heading to China on the heels of two top American officials, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who both pressed their Chinese counterparts to curb exports that support Russia's defense-industrial base. The U.S. recently sanctioned a slew of Chinese entities with Russian links, and is reportedly turning its crosshairs on Chinese banks deemed to be aiding the war effort.
The visit also comes just after Xi's tour of Europe, where he called for a global war truce during the Paris Olympics in July and August, and Blinken's trip to Ukraine. The two countries' economic and financial ties have grown considerably since the start of the war. According to Chinese customs data, trade turnover reached a record $240 billion in 2023. The redirection of Russian crude oil to China following the European Union's import ban has helped sustain Russia's export revenues, while trade with China assures continued access to machinery, equipment and consumer goods along with, reportedly, "dual use" goods with potential military applications.

T-6 Instructor Pilot Dies After Ejection Seat Goes Off on the GroundWeird
May 14, 2024 | By David Roza
An Air Force instructor pilot died early in the morning on May 14 from injuries sustained when the pilot’s T-6A Texan II training plane ejection seat activated during ground operations the day before, the 82nd Training Wing at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas, announced in a press release.
“An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway,” the wing wrote, adding that the pilot’s name is being withheld for 24 hours to notify his or her next of kin.
The 82nd is the host unit at Sheppard, but the pilot was assigned to the 80th Flying Training Wing, the unit which runs the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT) Program, a multinational school where students and instructors from across NATO learn and teach the basics of flying.
The wing flies the T-6, a two-seat propeller plane often used for basic aviation lessons in undergraduate pilot training, and the T-38, a two-seat jet typically used to teach future fighter and bomber pilots. Two years ago, 76 T-6s and 203 T-38s were grounded due to concerns about potentially faulty ejection seat parts. The grounding affected 40 percent of the T-38 fleet and 15 percent of the T-6 fleet.
At the time, Air Force Materiel Command said the explosive cartridges used in the ejection seats may suffer from “quality defects.” Each seat has multiple and redundant explosive cartridges. Two months after the stand-down, the Air Force had found no faulty cartridges on any of the T-6s, Breaking Defense reported at the time.
“Our primary concern is the safety of our Airmen and it is imperative that they have confidence in our equipment,” Maj. Gen. Craig Wills, then-head of the 19th Air Force, said at the time.
The average age of the T-6 fleet is 17 years old, according to 2023 data. While spry compared to the T-38’s average age of about 56 years, senior Air Force leaders say the age of trainer aircraft is slowing down pilot production.
“From the time they [student pilots] are commissioned—because of the challenges we’re having with T-6 and T-38—we have a little bit of a backup. It can be as many as four years,” then-Vice Chief of Staff Gen. David W. Allvin toldthe House Armed Services Committee in 2023. “So almost an 18 month- to 24 month-wait just to get into pilot training.”
A T-6 made an emergency “belly flop” landing at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas, on April 3 after its pilot declared an in-flight emergency. No one was injured in the incident.

Look for that SAM flight w/Captain “No hands” Blinken-fugger haz 2 wars going on but let’s go to a bar and ‘hang out’-from Rzeszow very soon as this Swedish AC is the ‘cover’ for him departing and should eventually make it’s way south from the Baltic Sea
Still remain unconvinced the majority of these trips are real although they are letting enough time elapse so it’s believable however you know what is capable with green screens and deep fakes.
The past of these trips “to Kiev” has shown flat out lies and fuggery so why would they change that at this point.

NY v Trump: As 'star witness' Michael Cohen testifies, Trump allies flock to court to 'support their friend'
Cohen expected to be prosecution's final witness
As the prosecution’s "star witness," and likely its final witness, Michael Cohen testified on Tuesday, allies of former President Trump flocked to the court in a show of support for the presumptive Republican presidential nominee in his criminal trial.
A number of high-profile GOP allies joined Trump at the Lower Manhattan court for the 17th day of his criminal trial – a day that once again featured Cohen, Trump’s former attorney, being questioned by both New York prosecutors and a cross-examination by Trump's defense attorneys.
"I came here, again, today, on my own to support President Trump," House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said outside the court in New York City on Tuesday morning, blasting Cohen as a "man who is clearly on a mission for personal revenge."
"[He] is widely known as a witness who has trouble with the truth. He is someone who has a history of perjury and is well-known for it. No one should believe a word he says today," Johnson said of Cohen, adding that "he lied to Congress; he lied to the IRS; he lied to federal election officials."
"Even Cohen's own lawyer testified to a grand jury that he is not reliable. So, there's nothing that he presents here that should be given any weight at all by a jury," Johnson said, noting the case "is not about justice" but "all about politics, and everybody can see that."
Johnson, along with Reps. Byron Donalds and Cory Mills, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy all attended the trial in a show of support for Trump. Sens. J.D. Vance, Tommy Tuberville, Rick Scott and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis attended court with the former president on Monday.
"All guests volunteer to come to court to support their friend, President Trump, and are not invited by the campaign," a Trump campaign official told Fox News Digital.
The official said the growing number of Republican allies coming to the downtown Manhattan courthouse is "not some kind of coordinated political thing."
Cohen is said to be the star witness for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team as they try to prove the former president falsified business records relating to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels, an adult film actress, in the lead-up to the 2016 election to silence her about an alleged affair with Trump in 2006.
Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
Cohen's testimony
As for Cohen’s testimony, the ex-Trump attorney said he was "reimbursed $420,000" for the $130,000 he paid to Daniels. Cohen said former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg suggested he "gross up" the payments.
Cohen testified that Weisselberg facilitated his reimbursement plan for the payment and that Trump knew the details of that reimbursement.
Trump is unable to speak about witnesses or court staff due to the gag order imposed upon him by Judge Juan Merchan.
The former president appealed the gag order, arguing that it violated his First Amendment rights. But as Cohen testified Tuesday, the Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court denied Trump’s appeal of the gag order.
Now Trump’s attorneys will have the opportunity to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals.
The prosecution presented Cohen with 11 checks totaling $420,000. Cohen confirmed that they were all received and deposited. The checks had a description of "retainer," which Cohen said was false.
Under cross-examination by Trump attorney Todd Blanche, Cohen testified that he apologized to Congress, the country and to his family for lying to them in 2017 and "acting in a way that suppressed information that the citizenry had a right to know in order to make an informed decision about an individual who was seeking the highest office in the land."
Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations, making false statements to Congress and tax evasion. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

Blanche grilled Cohen on his negative past statements he made online and to the media about Trump.
Over the course of the investigation and case, Cohen made more than 20 television appearances. He has recorded hundreds of podcast episodes – four total episodes a week all year long – since the investigation for this trial started. Cohen agreed that Trump has been mentioned in every podcast.
Blanche also asked Cohen if he was obsessed with Trump.
"I don’t know if I would call it obsessed," Cohen said. "I admired him tremendously."
Under cross-examination, Cohen also admitted to meeting with former New York prosecutor Mark Pomerantz, who resigned in 2022 when Bragg took over the Manhattan DA's probe of Trump after he signaled he was uninterested in bringing charges against the former president.
Cohen in 2021 testified that he wanted the DA's office to publicly acknowledge he was cooperating with their investigation, as he was hoping to have his sentence lessened. Cohen, at the time, was serving his sentence but was moved from prison to home confinement.
Ultimately, there was no letter or public announcement made by the DA about his cooperation.
Blanche said he will continue the cross-examination of Cohen on Thursday; court does not meet on Wednesdays.
Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass said Cohen was the prosecution’s last witness.

BREAKING 🚨 Former People's Deputy of Ukraine Andrii Derkach says they have proof that Biden family member affiliates, both Burisma founders and employees, are complicit in the blowing up of Nord Stream 2 and other terrorist activity by way of at least a $50 million collective bribe.
According to Derkach, a $6 million cash bribe was reportedly handed over to Ukrainian law enforcement to shut down the investigation into Burisma. $12 million was given to a drone army under secret court order.
The Burisma lawyer who handed over the $6 million did it on camera. The other $12 million, according to Derkach, was donated to a drone army under secret court ruling. The drone army reportedly kills people and does not target infrastructure facilities.
Derkach says that the chains of transactional records would lead investigators to believe that funds were used to supply American companies to send to the Central Intelligence Office (GUR).
The $6 million has been held as evidence, by a secret court order. The money was handed over to a military unit of the Central Intelligence Office (GUR) for the sake of carrying out terrorist activities. After that, Derkach says, the Nord Stream explosions occurred, Prilepin was attacked, Darya Dugina, daughter of far-right political activist Aleksandr Dugin, was assassinated.
Top officers of security agencies in Ukraine—Malyuk, Budanov—they reportedly conduct interviews using extra-budgetary cash.
Derkach says all transactions of funds have been traced from Burisma to Morgan Stanley to Rosemont Seneca, which is affiliated with and owned by Hunter Biden. U.S. Congress is using these documents to prove influence peddling.
The criminal case initiated in regard to Burisma, actively investigated by Prosecutor General Shokin was not closed until 2020.
Derkach says all who have sponsored and participated in terrorism will be held accountable for their crimes.

Zelensky postpones all foreign trips as Russia advances=
The move comes after Moscow’s forces captured several settlements in Kharkov Region in recent days
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has postponed foreign visits scheduled for later this week, his press secretary has announced. His comments come amid the Russian offensive in the border Kharkov Region.
The statement was made on Wednesday by Sergey Nikiforov, who wrote on his Facebook page that the Ukrainian leader “has instructed that all international events involving him scheduled for the coming days be postponed and new dates coordinated.” He thanked Kiev’s backers for their understanding.
Zelensky was due to travel to Spain on Friday and meet with King Felipe. Later, he was expected to visit Portugal, where he was set to sign a bilateral security cooperation agreement with Lisbon.
While Nikiforov did not state the reason for the postponement of Zelensky’s travel, the move comes as the Russian Defense Ministry reported an advance in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region. On Wednesday, it said Moscow’s troops had captured the villages of Glubokoye and Lukyantsy, which are close to the Ukraine-Russia border.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov admitted that Kiev wasfacing an “extremely difficult” situationas itstroops were struggling to hold groundand were outgunned by the Russian forces. Against this backdrop, he urged Ukraine’s backers to ramp up ammunition deliveries.
Ukrainian officials have long warnedthat theywere not ready to repel a major Russian attack, complaining about delays with Western arms shipments. In April, the head of Kiev’s military intelligence, Kirill Budanov, warned that Ukraine would face serious difficulties in mid-May and early June.
Kharkov Region has frequently been used by Ukrainian forces to stage artillery and drone attacks on Russian border areas, many of which targeted residential buildings, resulting in dozens of civilian casualties. In March, Russian President Putin suggested that Moscow could “at some point” beforced to “create a certain cordon sanitaire” in Kiev-controlled territoriesto prevent further attacks.

Crooked Joe Biden is the WORST debater I have ever faced - He can’t put two sentences together! Crooked is also the WORST President in the history of the United States, by far. It’s time for a debate so that he can explain to the American People his highly destructive Open Border Policy, new and ridiculous EV Mandates, the allowance of Crushing Inflation, High Taxes, and his really WEAK Foreign Policy, which is allowing the World to “Catch on Fire.” I am Ready and Willing to Debate Crooked Joe at the two proposed times in June and September. I would strongly recommend more than two debates and, for excitement purposes, a very large venue, although Biden is supposedly afraid of crowds - That’s only because he doesn’t get them. Just tell me when, I’ll be there. “Let’s get ready to Rumble!!!”

Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico rushed to hospital after shooting
Robert Fico, the populist Prime Minister of Slovakia, has been rushed to hospital after a shooting, according to reports.
The terrifying attack took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles north east of the country's capital Bratislava.
A suspect has been detained, according to local news station TA3, with a dramatic video showing the moment they were arrested.
A loud commotion can be heard, as police officers can be seen swarming the alleged attacker while sirens can be heard blaring in the distance.
Robert Fico has served as the Slovakian PM since 2023, after previously serving from 2006 to 2010 and again from 2012 to 2018.
He has recently come under fire for oppposing NATO membership for Ukraine.
His government has long opposed giving military aid to President Zelensky and his troops, and has bizarrely claimed that life is "normal" in Kyiv.

Biden Ducks Official Debates, Wants 2 Instead of 3, Controlled by Friendly Media, Demands Earlier Schedule.
Joe Biden took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand two, not three, presidential debates and hope to shift them forward in the calendar year—seemingly so he has time torecover from an expected poor performance before election day.
The Biden campaign even sent a formal letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, stating that Biden would not be participating in the organization’s debates.
Instead, Biden’s team proposed debates in June and September, conducted under an umbrella of corporate-left news organizations, with a scheduled vice-presidential debate in July.

Nationwide gold & silver tax cuts: 13 states scrap capital gains, Fed on high alert
(Kitco News) - In the US, legislation is being reshaped by a combination of state and federal efforts aiming to revise the taxation and legal tender status of gold and silver. This trend is catalyzed by a broader movement among lawmakers and fiscal conservatives who see these changes as essential to reinforcing economic stability. "Both the state of Nebraska and the state of Alabama passed legislation exempting capital gains from gold and silver on the state level. This is part of a movement. Other states have recently done the same thing," notes Jp Cortez, Executive Director of Sound Money Defense League. In response to these state-level initiatives, federal legislation is also being considered, with "Congressman Alex Mooney recently reintroduced legislation to end all federal income taxation on gold and silver, coins and bullion in the entire country.”
However, not all states have joined this movement. Hawaii, New Mexico, New Jersey, Vermont, and Maine still impose sales taxes on precious metals. These states are targets for future legislative efforts aimed at aligning them with the broader national trend.
The Constitutional Context and Implications for Sound Money
The U.S. Constitution grants Congress the power to coin money and regulate its value. Historically, this included precious metals like gold and silver, which were once part of the U.S. monetary system. Reintroducing gold and silver as money aligns with constitutional principles and acts as a countermeasure against inflation and government overspending. Cortez emphasizes the constitutional and economic stability sound money can bring in a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, "Sound money constrains a government that would otherwise do bad things with the power afforded to the printer of money… It provides people the chance to be able to save and plan in a currency that they know will hold value over the long term."
Sound money refers to money backed by a physical commodity such as gold or silver and is not susceptible to significant depreciation or inflation. It is characterized by its ability to hold value over time, offering predictability in financial planning and a check on the government's ability to inflate the currency supply.
The momentum for recognizing gold and silver as legal tender is growing across the U.S., highlighted by a Federal bill and recent legislative actions in several states. Nebraska joined the movement last month, becoming the 12th state to eliminate capital gains taxes on these precious metals, following Alabama's earlier decision.
Similarly, Arizona, Arkansas, and Utah have passed comparable laws in recent years. Efforts to exempt these metals from income taxes are also advancing in states like Iowa, Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas, with significant legislative progress made in 2024. Additionally, Kentucky has recently become the 45th state to abolish sales taxes on gold and silver, further cementing the trend towards easing financial regulations on these assets.

AR 3664 at the Sun's Edge
What did the monster active region that created the recent auroras look like when at the Sun's edge? There, AR 3664 better showed its 3D structure. Pictured, a large multi-pronged solar prominence was captured extending from chaotic sunspot region AR 3664 out into space, just one example of the particle clouds ejected from this violent solar region. The Earth could easily fit under this long-extended prominence. The featured image was captured two days ago from this constantly changing region. Yesterday, the strongest solar flare in years was expelled (not shown), a blast classified in the upper X-class. Ultraviolet light from that flare quickly hit the Earth's atmosphere and caused shortwave radio blackouts across both North and South America. Although now rotated to be facing slightly away from the Earth, particles from AR 3664 and subsequent coronal mass ejections (CMEs) might still follow curved magnetic field lines across the inner Solar System and create more Earthly auroras.

Billionaire Frank McCourt's Project Liberty forms consortium to bid for TikTok's US operations
May 15th, 09:27:45
(Reuters) -Entrepreneur and former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt said on Wednesday his organization, Project Liberty, is forming a consortium to buy social media platform TikTok in the United States.
A law signed by President Joe Biden on April 24 gives the social media platform's owner, ByteDance, until Jan. 19 next year to sell TikTok or face a ban.
The bill was passed by U.S. lawmakers on account of worries that China could access Americans' data or surveil them through the app.
The White House had said it wants to see Chinese-based ownership ended on national security grounds but not a ban on TikTok.
Project Liberty, working with Guggenheim Securities, law firm Kirkland & Ellis, technologies, academics and others, proposed to migrate the platform to a digital open-source protocol.
Inventor of the World Wide Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and David Clark, senior research scientist at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, are among the supporters of the bid, the organization said.
Project Liberty had launched the open-source Decentralized Social Networking Protocol in 2021, establishing a shared social graph that is not dependent on a specific application or a centralized platform.
The organization encompasses work of the Project Liberty Institute, with an international partner network that includes academic institutions and a for-profit arm that includes a technology team developing digital infrastructure.

NASA Names Deputy Station Manager, Operations Integration Manager
MAY 14, 2024
NASA selected Dina Contella as the deputy program manager and Bill Spetch as the operations integration manager for the agency’s International Space Station Program, effective Sunday, June 2.
“Dina’s depth of experience with the complex and dynamic aspects of the space station mission will be instrumental for leading through future challenges,” said Dana Weigel, program manager for NASA’s International Space Station Program. “Bill’s extensive experience with space station hardware and transportation systems uniquely position him for the leadership role as the operations integration manager.”
Contella succeeds Weigel, who became space station program manager in April, and the two will share overall management of the International Space Station, including development, integration, and operations, as well as its cargo and commercial missions. Spetch will oversee day-to-day operations, maintenance, and research aboard the orbiting laboratory, taking over the position held by Contella.
Contella has more than 30 years of experience in various roles supporting the International Space Station, Artemis, and the space shuttle. For the past two-and-a-half years, she was the operations and integration manager, responsible for leading real-time aspects of the program, including chairing the International Space Station mission management team. Contella led about 40 dynamic station operations each year, managing day-to-day space station technical risk decisions and programmatic mission integration among the orbiting laboratory’s five international partner agencies.
Prior to her work in the space station program, Contella held technical and management positions of increasing responsibility, including Gateway program mission integration and utilization manager, Advanced Exploration Systems lead for utilization and logistics across multiple Moon-to-Mars programs, and lead for an industry study to enhance NASA’s understanding of commercialization of low Earth orbit. Before these positions, she served as a NASA flight director, the spacewalk operations group lead, a spacewalk liaison stationed in Russia, a spacewalk flight control officer for space shuttle and space station missions, and a space shuttle navigation and computer instructor.
Contella, from Austin, Texas, graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station.
Spetch has 27 years of experience supporting the space station throughout his career. He most recently was the office manager responsible for the health and integrity of the space station, including sustaining, sparing, and integrating commercial elements onto station and providing real-time engineering support. Before that, he was station transportation integration office manager, acting space station mission integration and operations manager, space station transportation integration office deputy manager, and station Vehicle Integrated Performance Environments and Resources (VIPER) team manager.
The Maple Grove, Minnesota native graduated from the University of Minnesota Minneapolis with a bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics.

15th SPSS innovates with Mount Official Scheduling System
May 15, 2024
MAUI SPACE FORCE STATION, Hawaii (AFNS) - Perched atop the 10,023-foot summit of Haleakalā in Hawaii, lives Space Delta 2’s 15th Space Surveillance Squadron. The 15th SPSS operates the Maui Space Surveillance Complex and is home to small, medium, and large-aperture tracking optics, including the Department of Defense's largest optical telescope designed for satellite tracking and imaging, as well as visible and infrared sensors for data collection on near-Earth and deep-space objects.
Tracking of these deep space objects will soon be made more efficient, thanks to the Mount Official Scheduling System, also known as MOSS.
“The MOSS tool provides a simple and effective avenue to effectively balance scheduling needs,” said U.S. Air Force Maj. Matthew Holland, base operations and sustainment project manager. “MOSS is forecasted to eliminate the available time to operate our sensors that currently goes unused due to these scheduling mishaps, which is currently estimated at 41% of the calendar year.”
In just under six months, the MOSS team created and deployed a web-based application that provides the warfighter with 15-20% more Space Domain Awareness data while also laying the groundwork for future operational capability development and deployment to operational units across the Service.
“When it comes to future enhancement, we want to have a version of MOSS on Secret and [Top Secret] networks so that all of our external partners can access and use the tool because many live on the Joint Worldwide Intelligence Communications System,” Holland said. “We also want to integrate a function that tracks metrics for our current operations.”
A team of six members, consisting of Guardians and Airmen, enabled 150 more days per year of Electro-Optical telescope usage for non-traditional sensors that provide operationally relevant SDA data to the warfighter, a 41% increase over legacy operations.
“Currently we waste 150 days a year due to scheduling issues that prevent us from operating,” Holland said. “This cloud-based application, made by our own active-duty Guardians, will eliminate those wasted days and enable us to execute operations every day there are not weather impacts or maintenance being conducted.”
By MOSS reducing 15th SPSS operational planning by half, this provides transparent scheduling capabilities to the research and development and intelligence community.
“We aim to pair MOSS with a 15SPSS 'Portal' that we plan to build in the future as our second product team,” Holland said. “The portal will serve as a JWICS homepage for our site and will have sensor status the interactive view/request schedule functionality via MOSS, and a Dropbox type function for pushing data from our site to our operators.”
The comprehensive goal of MOSS is simple, says Holland. “The overall goal for us via MOSS and the Portal will be to ensure we are utilizing our exquisite research and development capabilities in Maui to most effectively serve the SDA communities' needs.”

Trump, Biden Agree To June Presidential Debate On CNN
Update (1148ET): After a morning of geriatric shit talking, President Biden and former President Trump have agreed to a June 27 debate hosted by CNN.
The date means that the two will debate before either candidate's nominations are formally complete, and will be their first televised encounter since 2020.
The debate will be held in CNN's studio in Atlanta, per Axios, citing a network announcement. No audience members will be present, per the Biden campaign's demands.

President Biden on Wedensday says he won't participate in the decades-old tradition of three fall debates by the bipartisan Commission on Presidential Debates, and has proposed two televised debates in June and September - with no audience, RFK Jr. can't participate, and Trump's mic will be muted when Biden is speaking. Oh, and they can only be hosted by a regime-friendly network.

Michael Granoff, managing partner of venture fund Maniv who worked as a staffer for the 1990s campaign of Bill Clinton, voted for Biden in 2020 but now says he lost confidence in the President and is considering a vote for Trump.
'I am not voting for Biden. I'm not saying I'm voting for Trump, but it's a nonzero chance now,' he told The Free Press.
Republican donor Cliff Asness says he 'spent well over seven figures' to support Trump's primary opponent Nikki Haley, but claims his commitment to making sure another Holocaust doesn't happen is edging out his thoughts that he would never donate to Trump.
'My 'Never Again' is trumping my 'Never Trump' these days,' Asness told Free Press.
Granoff believes that Biden's current stance betrays commitments he made to the world's only Jewish state after Hamas terrorists invaded Israel on October 7, 2023 and engaged in the largest single-day massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust.
'The speech he gave on October 11 was one of the finest speeches a president has ever made,' Granoff said. 'Had he stuck to that policy, he would be leading in the race right now. I would be raising money for him.'
'Biden is a huge disappointment, really a moral outrage with this arms embargo being only the latest and greatest outrage,' the co-founder of AQR Capital Management continued. 'Despite my long opposition to him, this makes me more likely, though I haven't quite gotten there yet, to see Trump as the better of two bad alternatives.'
Registered Democrat hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman also responded after CNN aired Biden's comments, writing on X his decision to stop arms shipments is 'one of the worst acts against an ally of a sitting president ever.'
'Hopefully, this means he won't be sitting for longer,' he added.
Haim Saban, a billionaire entertainment mogul and Democratic donor, wrote an email to two senior White House advisers last week speaking out against Biden's policy switch up on Israel.
'Let's not forget that there are more Jewish voters who care about Israel than Muslim voters that care about Hamas,' he wrote.

Biden Ducks Official Debates, Wants 2 Instead of 3, Controlled by Friendly Media, Demands Earlier Schedule.
Joe Biden took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to demand two, not three, presidential debates and hope to shift them forward in the calendar year—seemingly so he has time to recover from an expected poor performance before election day.
The Biden campaign even sent a formal letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, stating that Biden would not be participating in the organization’s debates. Instead, Biden’s team proposed debates in June and September, conducted under an umbrella of corporate-left news organizations, with a scheduled vice-presidential debate in July.

A Closer Look at Joe Biden Debate Video Is Funny and Shows How Bad He Truly Is
As she also noted, Biden's acceptance was maximum cringe, with Biden trying to act tough, and saying "Make my day, pal," like he thought he was Clint Eastwood rather than a slurring "elderly man with a poor memory." Oh, and the lying about beating Trump in the prior debates was something else when he Biden infamously lied about his son's laptop.
He also wants no live audience, mics cut once the person's time expires and while the other person is talking, only certain news organizations hosting it, and no RFK Jr.
Just exactly how many edits are in there? He has five edits in there in a 14-second video. He can't even get through a 14-second video without all that help. That shows just how bad he is, he can't even get out more than a sentence without an edit. In a debate, he's not going to be able to look to a teleprompter to give him the answer and to help tell him what to say.

May 15, 2024, 05:00 ET
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Today, Atomic Canyon, a pioneer of AI nuclear search, announced a new project with the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), home of the Frontier supercomputer, to build a safe, efficient open-source AI model for the nuclear sector. Atomic Canyon will use Frontier – the world's fastest supercomputer – to train the company's AI model to understand complex nuclear terminology. Their collaboration with ORNL is a significant milestone, marking the development of the first AI model tailored for nuclear data and content.
Ridge National Laboratory
Harnessing the power of Frontier, Atomic Canyon aims to open-source nuclear sector terminologies, helping to develop a nuclear AI infrastructure to build upon and to provide a powerful tool for efficient data navigation, document indexing, performance improvement and cost savings.
This advanced technology, developed by Atomic Canyon and trained on millions of publicly available documents from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Agency-wide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), will utilize sentence-embedding models. These algorithms convert written sentences into numerical representations to allow AI to grasp nuclear terminology and accurately discern information. This deeper understanding makes the AI more effective and helps prevent AI "hallucinations" and biases during search and data analysis. Atomic Canyon's technology will provide innovators with trusted, accurate assistance in understanding the broad spectrum of nuclear safety and security requirements. The model will not be trained on sensitive information on the design or operation of nuclear technologies, but will be able to assist with analyzing a vast array of public regulatory guides, inspection reports, and other documents, with the goal of increasing safety and public accountability.
Frontier, the world's fastest and the first to achieve "exascale" computing performance (a quintillion calculations per second), will play a pivotal role in the collaboration between Atomic Canyon and ORNL. This project promises significant benefits for nuclear researchers, scientists, engineers, and stakeholders worldwide. Leveraging the capacity and speed of AI, alongside the transparency of open-source technology, the resulting platform is poised to take on the sector's most complex challenges, driving a revitalization of nuclear energy.
"Our leading-edge technology is tailored to the nuclear sector," says Trey Lauderdale, CEO and founder of Atomic Canyon. "Collaborating with ORNL's premier supercomputing facilities such as Frontier will help our platform understand complex nuclear concepts, removing a major barrier to AI implementation in the nuclear sector. Moreover, our open-source approach will encourage transparency and collaboration among nuclear stakeholders and innovators focused on safety and security. Our goal is to help the world's best and brightest have the information and technology they need to help navigate the climate and energy crisis."
Last month, Atomic Canyon's Neutron search platform launched to significant interest from the nuclear sector. This collaboration represents a broader initiative to expand access and facilitate innovation in the nuclear sector on a much larger scale.
By training their AI on nuclear terminology, Atomic Canyon will develop a safe, accurate tool that will enable researchers around the world to harness AI's potential for solving nuclear challenges. This has become increasingly important, as climate change and soaring energy demands underscore the need for a transition to more abundant, clean energy sources.
"Open-source AI search, trained using the lab's Frontier supercomputer, will play an essential role in the research, engineering, and development of nuclear energy and the nuclear sector, now and into the future," says ORNL's Thomas M. Evans, Group Lead and Distinguished R&D Staff, HPC Methods for Nuclear Applications. "This is crucial to advance nuclear innovation and move toward a future powered by sustainable energy."

She needs to get kicked out of Congress and sent to jail. Epstein got her elected
Stacey Plaskett represents the territory where Epstein brought his victims.
"There's enough here to raise concern. And I think the questions should be asked if these individuals were actually the source," McPhail said. "And if they weren't — if this was actually Jeffrey Epstein's money that was passed through them — then yes, that would be an unlawful straw-donor violation."A lawyer representing Indyke and Kahn said they weren't reimbursed for the donations. An attorney representing Groff declined to comment.
The August 2014 primary was a close race.Plaskett won, defeating the well-known Malone by just 737 votes. One local news organization called it "one of the biggest upsets in Virgin Islands politics."
It wasn't until a month later that Plaskett and Epstein met for the first time in person, introduced by Erika Kellerhals, a local lawyer. They had a meeting on September 5, according to copies of Epstein's schedules obtained by Insider through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Plaskett was expected to coast to victory in the general election. The local Democratic Party has a firm grip on the territory's politics. Since 1981, the Virgin Islands has only once sent a non-Democrat to Congress.
Nonetheless, de Jongh pushed for more money to support Plaskett. In October 2014, she wrote an email to Epstein memorializing a $13,000 donation to a Democratic Party operation in Plaskett's support from the Southern Trust Co.
"Hi Jeffrey, I am confirming with you that STC will send $13K to the Democratic Party for the benefit of Stacey Plaskett," de Jongh wrote.
'We would have a friend in Stacey'
Epstein kept up the generosity. In September that year, a consultant on Plaskett's campaign invited Epstein to two dinners on St. Thomas and St. Croix, the two main islands in the US Virgin Islands, emails show. Epstein swiftly promised he would donate the "max" but said he didn't want his name attached.
The records dredged up by JPMorgan appear damning. Epstein practically had the entire governmentin his pocket through de Jongh and received $300 million in tax incentives over a 19-year span, JPMorgan has said.
Plaskett's connections to Epstein drew some attention in 2019 after federal prosecutors charged him with trafficking girls for sex. After initially refusing to return his campaign contributions, Plaskett later said she would donate the funds "to Virgin Islands organizations that work with women and children."
"I am uncomfortable having received money from someone who has been accused of these egregious actions multiple times," Plaskett said at the time.(Fucking LIAR)

Hageman: Judge Merchan is making such blatant, blatant, reversible errors; he absolutely knows that if there is a conviction in this case, it will be reversed on appeal, and it's as though he is attempting to do that because he knows that no such appeal would actually take place prior to November, yet he would have a conviction on the books, which is the classic; and I think in this case, exposes the way in which they are using lawfare against President Trump. I have never seen a judge make the kinds of errors that this judge has made in this case before, and I think he recognized that if there is a conviction, it would be overturned on appeal.

AMC’s stock tumbles on news company will issue 23.3 million of shares in debt-for-equity swap
(Just MILKED ya in 2 days…that fugly intra-day chart yesterday warned of this absolutely it did and they did the deal starting late Monday/early yesterday based on the implied value….LATHER,RINSE, REPEAT)
Swap and $250 million ATM offering will help shore up balance sheet and reduce net leverage by about 10%, says analyst.
AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc.’s stock tumbled 22% Wednesday to brake the rally of the past two days, after the cinema operator disclosed that it will issue 23.3 million shares in a debt-for-equity exchange for $163.9 million of bonds that mature in 2026. The 10%/12% cash/PIK toggle bonds — PIK stands for payment-in-kind — offer an issuer the ability to defer interest payments in return for a higher coupon later.
Based on the aggregate principal amount of the bonds plus $6.9 million of accrued interest, the stock is being issued at an implied value of $7.33 a share, the company said in a regulatory filing. The stock AMC, -24.23% closed Tuesday at $6.85 after rising 32% on the day. It was last quoted at $4.75.
The stock took off on Monday along with other meme stocks, after trader Keith Gill, aka Roaring Kitty, posted his first tweet since 2021 and revived the trading frenzy from that period.

Helium leak delays Starliner crewed test flight
May 14, 2024
WASHINGTON — The launch of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft on its first crewed flight has slipped at least four days because of a helium leak in the spacecraft.
Boeing announced May 14 that the launch of the Crew Flight Test (CFT) mission, previously scheduled for May 17, has been rescheduled for no earlier than May 21 at 4:43 p.m. Eastern on an Atlas 5 from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The cause of the delay, the company said, was what it described as a “small helium leak” in the spacecraft’s service module, which engineers traced a flange in one of Starliner’s reaction control thrusters. Helium is used to pressurize the propulsion system on the spacecraft.
Boeing did not state in the announcement when the leak was detected, including if it was known during the previous launch attempt May 6 versus some time later, or if the leak would have prevented a launch had it been detected during the countdown. Company spokespersons did not respond to questions about the leak.
The May 6 launch was scrubbed not because of any problems with Starliner but instead with a valve in the rocket’s Centaur upper stage. The rocket was rolled back to the vertical integration facility building near the launch pad, and Boeing said in its statement that the valve was successfully replaced May 11 and tested to confirm it was working properly.
According to the Boeing statement, the company is working with NASA to characterize the leak rather than replace the flange. “As a part of the testing, Boeing will bring the propulsion system up to flight pressurization just as it does prior to launch, and then allow the helium system to vent naturally to validate existing data and strengthen flight rationale,” Boeing stated.
There had been few updates about the status of the mission after the announcement it would be delayed to May 17 to replace the Centaur valve. There had been hints, though, that the mission might slip beyond that date. After previously stating that the CFT crew of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams would remain at the Kennedy Space Center for the next launch attempt, NASA said May 10 that the two had returned to Houston while staying in a pre-launch medical quarantine. NASA also informed media May 13 that the rollout of the Atlas 5 back to the pad had been delayed a day to May 16. In both cases, though, NASA said the launch remained scheduled for no earlier than May 17.
This incident is the latest in a long string of delays for the program. Various problems with the spacecraft, such as software, valves, parachute components and wiring tape, have all contributed to years of cumulative delays in development of the spacecraft and its test flights. Boeing hopes that, with a successful CFT mission, it will get those problems behind it and enable regular crew rotation missions to the International Space Station as part of a $4.2 billion contract the company received from NASA in 2014.
NASA officials, while eager to start using Starliner and end its reliance solely on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, emphasized after the May 6 scrub that they were not in a hurry to launch the CFT mission. “We’re not in a rush to fly from a station standpoint. We did clear our summer schedule intentionally to give us plenty of runway for the CFT mission,” Dana Weigel, NASA ISS program manager, said at the briefing after the scrub.

TEXAS: "The Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston was closed Wednesday after a passing barge struck one of its supports, causing significant damage, officials said. The collision happened around 10 a.m, City of Galveston spokeswoman Marissa Barnett said. The lift bridge, which spans the west end of the Galveston Ship Channel, connected Galveston Island with Pelican Island, the home of Texas A&M University at Galveston.

‘Enough’: Controversial ID program for illegal immigrants targeted by GOP senator
Adam Shaw Tue, May 14, 2024
FIRST ON FOX: A top Republican senator is moving forward with apush to block a controversial program that would give ID cards to illegal immigrants as early as this summer.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is introducing the "No Taxpayer Funds for Illegal Immigrant Identity Cards Act" which would bar any federal funds from going to the ICE Secure Docket Card program or any similar program.
The ICE Secure Docket Card program was first reported on in 2022, and Fox News Digital reported last week that ICE is planning a limited rollout of the program this summer, with a distribution of approximately 10,000 cards. While the agency stressed that plans are "pre-decisional" and still subject to change, it is expected the cards will be issued in three or four locations in the U.S.
TAXPAYER-FUNDED ID PROGRAM FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS EXPECTED TO BEGIN THIS SUMMER
The agency said the program will "modernize documentation provided to some noncitizens" but stressed it would not be an official form of federal ID.
"While the specifics of the card and pilot are under development, it is important to note the secure card will not be an official form of federal identification," the agency said. "The secure card will indicate it is for use by DHS agencies and would be provided only after national security background checks have been performed."
But the program faces Republican opposition, with lawmakers having consistently opposed the program.
LEAKED IMAGES SHOW BIDEN ADMIN'S PLANNED ICE ID CARD FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS
Hawley’s bill would also require the Department of Homeland Security Inspector General to report on any costs associated with the program, or any similar program to grant cards to those in the country illegally.
"Joe Biden opened the border and ushered in an era of unprecedented chaos in the US. And now, rather than getting the crisis under control,he wants to use Americans’ money to fund ID cards for illegals." Hawley said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
"Enough. Biden should be deporting illegal immigrants and securing our border, not giving them IDs and making it easier for them to take advantage of taxpayer benefits," he said. ICE has defended the program, saying it would allow officials to more easily verify identities via the DHS system.
ICE DEVELOPING PROGRAM TO GIVE ID CARDS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, AS BORDER CRISIS RAGES
"Moving to a secure card will save the agency millions, free up resources and ensure information is quickly accessible to DHS officials while reducing the agency’s FOIA backlog," the spokesperson said. "For provisionally released noncitizens, the digital modernization will provide ongoing access to important immigration documents through the secure card and connected portal."
Meanwhile, the administration isproposing a federal rule to allow officials to deport those determined to be national security and public safety threats earlier in the asylum process.(It’s already in the law)
But Hawley’s bill comes a day after it was revealed that aColombian national wanted for aggravated homicidein his home country was encountered in November, but wasreleased into the U.S. ICE agentsarrested him in Massachusetts earlier this month.

NYCB sells $5 billion loan book to JPMorgan, an ‘important first step’ in turnaround
(Muh Turd Polishing 101….remember Munchkins put money into this too)
New York Community Bancorp’s stock gave back recent gains Wednesday on the heels of a $5 billion loan sale to JPMorgan Chase & Co., which marks a fresh move in the bank’s plan to turn a profit.
Jefferies analyst Casey Haire said the deal for JPMorgan Chase JPM to acquire the mortgage-warehouse loans marks an “important first step to restore credibility” as NYCB looks to reverse recent losses. NYCB’s stock NYCB, -5.63% fell 4% on Wednesday as it gave back recent gains. The stock is up 1.8% in the past week and ahead by 31.5% in the past month.
Measured against its starting point for 2024, however, the stock remains 62% lower for the year after a surprise loss and a material-weakness disclosure earlier this year.
The loan sale marks “incremental progress from the train wreck back in February and March,” Janney analyst Chris Marinac said in an email to MarketWatch. On Wednesday, Jefferies reiterated a hold rating and a stock-price target of $3.50 for NYCB on the heels of the bank’s loan-sale deal, which is expected to close in the third quarter.
JPMorgan’s NYCB loan purchase resembles a smaller-scale version of the bank’s work with other banks to provide $30 billion in capital to struggling First Republic Bank last year, according to a source familiar with the bank. JPMorgan ended up buying First Republic in a government-led transaction.
JPMorgan’s Commercial & Investment Bank is adding the NYCB loan portfolio to its sizeable loan-securitization business, while providing capital to a commercial client that was shedding a noncore business at a competitive market price, the source said. Common-equity Tier 1, or CET1, ratios reflect a lender’s capital against its assets, which include cash and stock and other liquid holdings. Meanwhile, NYCB’s loan-to-deposit ratio will go down to 104% from 110% as the loan sale to JPMorgan increases the bank’s liquidity profile.
Even at 104%, however, the bank will still be “meaningfully above” the average loan-to-deposit ratio of its peer group, Jefferies noted.

‘Outlook for Ukraine Bleak’ as Russia Masses 510,000 Troops on Frontline.
An expert has warned that the “outlook for Ukraine is bleak” as recentfigures indicate over half a million Russian troopshave been mobilized to the Ukrainian border. The now dramatically overpowered Ukrainian defense is grappling with depleting ammunition and manpower shortages as it awaits international assistance.
“The Russian forces have now expanded to 510,000 troops. The outlook for Ukraine is bleak. Its allies must replenish stockpiles,” said Dr. Jack Watling of the hawkish Royal United Services Institute.
The current objective of the highly fortified Russian forces involves the broad sweep to capture Kharkov, Ukraine’s second-largest city. UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps claimed this aggressive move had “caught the West napping,” although experts warned last month that Russia was positioned to capture the city within months.
Russian forces recently launched another offensive in the northeastern regions of Ukraine, increasing the pressure on the already overstretched Ukrainian defense. In less than a week, the Russian military has effectively occupied between 38 to 47 square miles, capturing towns and villages and eroding Ukrainian control.
These developments come as Ukrainian forces are expectantly waiting for international aid, with small quantities starting to trickle in from the U.S.
According to Yurii Federenko, a battalion commander, it will take a minimum of two months before the inbound supplies can adequately supplement Ukrainian defense needs.
This additional pressure on the Ukrainian forces further contributes to the defense instability in significant territories such as the regions surrounding Avdiivka and Chasiv Yar. The current situation signals a strategic advantage for Russia, commanding a challenging predicament for the Western allies and Ukraine.
In April, several experts said ”the writing is on the wall for Ukraine” and predicted the country may only have “weeks” left in its war with Russia.

The White House has told Congress it plans to send more than $1bn (£800m) in new weapons to Israel.
This comes despite the US being opposed to a full-scale invasion by the Israeli military on the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
It said last week it had paused a shipment of bombs to Israel over concerns civilians would be killed if used in densely populated areas.
The package can be blocked by Congress if a majority in both chambers object.
The package, confirmed by US media, would include $700m in tank ammunition, $500m in tactical vehicles and $60m in mortar rounds, according to the Associated Press news agency……..

‘Orban Next!’ Pro-Ukraine Accounts Celebrate Assassination Attempt on Slovak PM Fico.
Pro-Ukraine social media accounts are cheering the shooting of Robert Fico, the Prime Minister of Slovakia. The 59-year-old European Union (EU) and NATO leader, an ally of Hungary’s Viktor Orban, has opposed continuing to fund the Western proxy war with Russia in Ukraine, as well as the sanctions duel that has disrupted European energy supplies while having no meaningful impact on Russia’s growing economy.
• “Hero!” declared one user of the suspect. He posted a separate message asking, “Victor [sic] Orban you watching?” — as if to suggest the Trump ally, who also opposes open-ended support for Ukraine, will be shot if he doesn’t change his stance.
• Other users echoed this sentiment, with one user posting “Orban should take notice” and many users, often with the Ukrainian flag by their name, posting messages reading “Orban next” or “Orban is next.”
• Lots of #NAFO types reacting to the shooting of Robert Fico, the anti-war Prime Minister of Slovakia, by expressing their hope that @PM_ViktorOrban is targeted next. Sick people. pic.twitter.com/Xbpux37xEs

EU state’s leader calls for end to Ukraine conflict
It is naive to think that Kiev can recapture all the territories it claims as its own from Russia, Czech President Petr Pavel says
Russia and Ukraine should end their conflict and engage in negotiations, Czech President Petr Pavel has said, stressing that thediplomatic process must involve both Kiev and Moscow.
In an interview with Sky News on Tuesday, Pavel, who previously served as the chairman of NATO’s Military Committee and the chief of the Czech Republic’s General Staff,expressed doubtthat Ukraine can achieve a clear victory over Russia.
“We have to be realistic.It would be naïveto say that Ukraine can fully restore the control over the territories in the foreseeable future. Russia will not give up the territory it is occupying now,” he said, referring to four former Ukrainian territories that voted to join Russia in autumn 2022, as well as Crimea, which did so several years earlier.
Pavel stressed that “we need to stop the war and then start negotiations about [a] future arrangement.” He suggested that “there might be some kind of a compromise,” but cautioned that it would be unattainable without theparticipation of Ukraine, Russia-, and other countries that could act as guarantors of the agreement==.
The Czech president said that while the West has enough resources to prop up Ukraine’s military, NATO cannot intervene directly on the battlefield because it would trigger a direct clash with Russia.
When pressed whether he believes Ukraine could eventually join the US-led military bloc, Pavel responded in the affirmative, adding, however, that “we have to come up with a kind of a settlement, restore peace in the region, and then we can talk about the potential membership of Ukraine.” (NATO will never invite Ukraine into the fold, they have embezzled, stolen, sold and black marketed a majority of the money & weapons sent to them. Ukraine is a terrorist country at this point, there is no turning back to a normal place.)
He also weighed in on the Russian offensive in Kharkov Region, noting that it is “the result of long preparation,” and that Ukraine had been bracing for this for a long time while asking the West for more weapons. Nevertheless, he claimed that the West had been “overcautious with our [arms] deliveries” to Kiev, warning that Ukraine may “eventually lose the war.”
Ukrainian officials have long warned that they would struggle to hold back Russia if it launched a major offensive. In recent days, the Russian Defense Ministry reported advances in the border Kharkov Region, claiming to have captured several settlements while Kiev has scrambled to send reinforcements.

Slovak prime minister shot: Live updates
Robert Fico was wounded when an assailant fired multiple shots outside a government meeting
Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico was shot and wounded on Wednesday when multiple shots were fired at him as he greeted the public after a government meeting.
Fico was taken to hospital by his security detail after the shooting, while his attacker was detained by police.
According to local media reports, four shots were fired at Fico as he shook hands with supporters outside a meeting in Handlova, around 150km east of Bratislava. At least one of the shots struck the prime minister, witnesses reported.
15 May 2024
17:44 GMT
Fico’s security detail was “not in order,” the former head of the Office for the Protection of Constitutional Officials, Juraj Zabojnik, told Dennik N. “When four or five shots are fired, someone is guilty. I didn't see anyone jumping in front of the prime minister,” Zabojnik said.
The security team should have placed operatives among the crowd, he continued, adding that while “it may happen that the first shot gets out,” Fico should have been shielded from any subsequent shots.
“When something like this happens and with such a large body of security personnel, it will be a very tough subject of investigation,” Zabojnik concluded.
17:40 GMT
Fico is still being operated on, Labor Minister Erik Tomas told TV Markiza. The operation will take a long time as several of the prime minister’s organs were damaged, Tomas said.
17:11 GMT
Footage has emerged showing the moment Fico was shot. The video shows the prime minister shaking hands with supporters across a metal barrier, before the gunman fires around five times. As Fico collapses, the attacker is swarmed by security guards and bystanders.
17:01 GMT
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he was “indignant” to hear of the “heinous” attempt on Fico’s life. “I know Robert Fico to be a courageous and strong-spirited man. I very much hope that these qualities will help him to withstand this difficult situation,” Putin said in a statement.
16:28 GMT
The Ta3 TV network has named the attacker as Juraj Cintula, born in 1953. Cintula is reportedly a poet and founder of the Slovak Association of Writers, and a supporter of the opposition Progressive Slovakia party.
In a statement, the Slovak Association of Writers said that it would investigate whether Cintula is a member and revoke his membership if so. “We express our indignation at such a brutal act, which has no parallel in the history of Slovakia.”
15:05 GMT
Slovak President Zuzana Caputova has urged the public to refrain from drawing hasty conclusions about the attack on Fico, and to wait for information from the police.
14:56 GMT
Multiple media outlets have identified Fico’s attacker as a 71-year-old man from the town of Levice. According to the Dennik N newspaper, the man shot Fico with a legally owned short weapon.
14:18 GMT
The attempt on Fico’s life is an unprecedented threat to Slovak democracy, President-elect Peter Pellegrini said in a statement. “If we express differing political views with guns in the squares, and not in the polling stations, we threaten everything that we have built together during the 31 years of Slovak sovereignty,” he wrote.
Pellegrini, an ally of Fico, defeated ex-foreign minister Ivan Korcok in a vote last month, and will replace the pro-Western Zuzana Caputova as head of state in June.
14:08 GMT
Fico was hit “multiple times” and his condition is “life-threatening,” the prime minister’s office announced on Facebook. He is currently being airlifted from Handlova to a hospital in Banska Bystrica as flying him to Bratislava would take too long, Fico’s office added. “The next few hours will decide” whether he survives, the statement concluded.
14:00 GMT
Footage shared on social media showed a stricken Fico being helped to his car by his security detail. The politician was bundled into the back of the vehicle and rushed away, while police officers handcuffed his suspected attacker. The suspect appears to have shot Fico from point-blank range.

VIDEO: “I 100% Believe” He Will Stand With The Establishment – RINO NV Senate Candidate Sam Brown’s Campaign Staffers Expose His Anti-Trump Agenda in Undercover Recording
Video recordings provided exclusively to The Gateway Pundit by an undercover journalist show Nevada Senate candidate Sam Brown’s staffers revealing a hidden agenda to appeal to the RINO Establishment if he is sent to Washington, D.C.
RINO Sam Brown and America First Nevada Senate candidate Dr. Jeff Gunter are currently vying for President Trump’s endorsement and a win in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate in Nevada.
In an undercover interview, Nevada political consultant Woodrow Johnston noted that Trump’s endorsement “is so powerful if he endorses someone they’ll win the primary.”
The Gateway Pundit published an interview with Jeff Gunter, a real Trump supporter and Trump’s former ambassador to Iceland, earlier this year. We also reported that Sam Brown is financially backed by Americans for Prosperity, the Koch-backed group that staunchly supported Nikki Haley since last November; long-time Mitch McConnell donor Gregory Ciongoli; Thomas McInerney, a John Bolton megadonor who also backed DeSantis for President; and several other never-Trump donors.
“He’s a hardcore RINO, a Mitch McConnell guy, loves Nikki Haley and is funded by the same people,” said Gunter.
In the interviews below, taken at the 2024 Nevada GOP Convention, Sam Brown Field Director Nikolas Madison confirms that Brown will "absolutely" stand "with the Establishment." When asked if he'd do that, Madison responded, "I 100% believe so." He also agreed that members of Congress need to vote against Trump and thinks Sam Brown "is capable of recognizing the situation."
The Gateway Pundit contacted Nikolas Madison, but he did not immediately provide comment.

Peru’s Government Officially Classifies Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex as ‘Mentally Ill’ People
The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”
Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported.
It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.
In defense of this action, the ministry asserts that this classification will “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health.”

Michael Cohen’s Attorney Robert Costello Testifies that Cohen Didn’t Believe Stormy Daniels’ Story – Only Paid Her to Save Trump
Rep. Greg Steube (R-FL): He didn’t believe the allegation of the Stormy Daniels story, that he thought the story would be embarrassing for Trump and especially for Melania, so he decided he would take care of it himself.
Attorney Robert Costello: Absolutely. That is contrary to what this guy testified to in court in New York yesterday.
Rep. Greg Steube: Well, what’s not being talked about is your next paragraph, the reason and his motivation for that. So if you could just walk through that for the committee.
Robert Costello: Yeah, obviously, when we started to talk about the NDAs, and this is the very first meeting at the Regency Hotel, when, by the way, Rudy Giuliani was not involved in representing Donald Trump at that time. Cohn testified that it was a conspiracy between Giuliani and Costello as of this date. Totally false. In any event, he also said that he didn’t discuss the Stormy Daniels matter with us, and he certainly did. I specifically asked him because he kept on going back saying, I can’t believe they’re trying to put me in jail for these NDAs.
So I said, Michael, tell me about the NDA. Tell me about Stormy Daniels. What did you do? He said, I got a call from a lawyer representing Stormy Daniels who represented that she was going to testify that Donald Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Michael Cohen said, I didn’t believe the allegation, but I knew that such an allegation would be terribly embarrassing. He said, It would be embarrassing. He focused on Melania Trump. He said, I didn’t want to embarrass Melania Trump. He said, That’s I decided to take care of this on my own. I went back to that several times.
You did this on your own? “On my own.”
Did Donald Trump have anything to do with it? “No.”
Did you get the money from Donald Trump? “No.”
From any of his organizations? “No.”
From anybody connected to Donald Trump? “No”.
Where did you get the money? “I took out a HELOC loan against my property.”
I said, Why would you do that? He said, “I didn’t want anybody to know where I got this money.”
I didn’t want Melania to know. I didn’t want my own wife to know because she’s in charge, he said, of the Cohen family finances. He said, “If she saw money coming out of my account, she’d ask me 100 questions, and I didn’t want to answer any of them.”

White House 'Deeply Troubled' As Georgia Enacts Law To Thwart NGO 'Interference'
Defying large domestic protests and condemnation from the United States and other Western governments, the Republic of Georgia's parliament on Tuesday adopted a "foreign agents" law that would impede foreign nongovernmental organizations' (NGOs') ability to operate in the country - and put Georgia's European Union and NATO ambitions in jeopardy.
Georgia's president, Salome Zourabichvili, has vowed to veto the measure, but the parliament approved the law by a 84-30 margin, only needs 76 to override a veto.After the law's passage, Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters:
"We’re deeply troubled by Georgia’s Kremlin-style 'foreign agents' legislation…we have been outspoken about our concerns with the legislation, which runs counter to democratic values and would move Georgia further away from the values of the European Union and, let’s not forget, also NATO."

‘I honest to God believe I was drugged’: magician David Copperfield’s alleged victims speak out
For two 15-year-old girls in the early 1990s, meeting David Copperfield, the world famous magician, seemed like the thrill of a lifetime.
Carla says she remembers the way Copperfield gave her his phone number after a 1991 show in Georgia. About two years later in San Francisco, Lily says, she felt giddy when the master illusionist picked her to join him on stage for a magic trick.
Both girls were in high school at the time and had attended Copperfield’s shows with their parents.
The women, now in their 40s, come from different backgrounds and have never spoken to each other, but they do have one thing in common. They claim the events that followed these encounters changed their lives.
Carla says she feels she was “groomed” by Copperfield for more than two years. She describes how he sent her notes and gifts, including a teddy bear and Valentine’s day balloon when she was 16. A note attached to one – a photo of which was seen by the Guardian – reads: “In 2 years I will be back”.
After Carla turned 18, Copperfield became the first man she had sex with, she says. He was more than twice her age. Copperfield’s lawyers denied he groomed Carla and said they had a “consensual relationship”.
Lily claims Copperfield groped her breasts on stage while performing a trick in front of her father and sister who watched aghast, they have confirmed, from the front row. She says she had nightmares for years about Copperfield using his magic on her.

Israeli Ministers Join March Calling for Settlements in Gaza, Expulsion of Palestinians
Ben Gvir and a minister in Netanyahu's Likud party joined the march
Members of the Israeli government joined thousands of Israelis in a march in southern Israel on Tuesday led by far-right activists calling for the re-establishment of Jewish settlements in the Gaza Strip and the expulsion of Palestinians.
The march commemorated the 76th anniversary of the day Israel celebrates its Independence Day, known as the Nakba, or catastrophe, to the Palestinians as more than 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes to create the modern state of Israel in 1948.
Joining the march in the Israeli city of Sderot were two ministers in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, leader of the Jewish Power party.
“In order to preserve the security achievements that our soldiers lost their lives for, we must resettle Gaza with security forces and settlers that will embrace the land with love,” Karhi said in a speech at the march, according to Haaretz. “This is the only real way to make the Hamas Nazis pay a price and to defend our nation and country.”
Ben Gvir also spoke and said settlements and the expulsion of Palestinians are the “true solution” to the situation in Gaza. “We must return to Gaza now! We are coming home to the Holy Land!” he said. “And second, we must encourage emigration. Encourage the voluntary emigration of the residents of Gaza. It is moral!”
Ben Gvir and other Israeli officials have framed their desire for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza as “voluntary migration,” but the Israeli onslaught is making the Strip uninhabitable and could give the Palestinians no choice but to leave if they have the option.
In October 2023, a document prepared by Israel’s Intelligence Ministry that was leaked to the media said the best post-war scenario for Israel would be the expulsion of all 2.3 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Since then, Israel has killed about 1.5% of the population of Gaza and has destroyed most of the Strip’s infrastructure.
Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Israeli Knesset and Ben Gvir’s Jewish Power party, said last month that there are secret plans in the works to build Jewish settlements in Gaza. “You will see practical steps, including plans and work in government offices and security services. There is intensive work behind the scenes on this,” she said.

Authorities have reportedly released the identity of the suspect accused of punching actor Steve Buscemi during a random attack while he was out walking in Manhattan on Wednesday morning.
On Tuesday evening, the NYPD announced that Clifton Williams, 50, was the man who reportedly punched Buscemi in the face, Fox 5 New York reported.
The 66-year-old star of "Fargo" and "Boardwalk Empire" was assaulted just before noon in midtown Manhattan and taken to a nearby hospital with bruising, swelling and bleeding to his left eye.
Witnesses confirmed to local station ABC 7 that Buscemi chased after Williams, but was unable to stop him.

Judge Nichols gives Steve Bannon until Monday to respond to DOJ demand for immediate prison sentence.
Here’s the current situation:
US District Judge Carl Nichols, who oversaw Bannon’s initial trial, had put a hold on Bannon’s sentence while the appeal was ongoing.
Nichols has now given Bannon until Monday to respond to the DOJ’s latest request.
The DOJ’s stance is clear: unless Bannon can show his appeal is not merely a delay and has substantial grounds, he should begin his imprisonment.

Veteran DEA agent sentenced to 3 years for bribing former colleague to leak intelligence
https://www.yahoo.com/news/veteran-dea-agent-sentenced-3-193323865.html
NEW YORK (AP) — A former U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration supervisor was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison for bribing a longtime colleague to leak DEA intelligence to Miami defense lawyers seeking to profit off the timing of indictments and other sensitive information about drug investigations.
A federal jury last year convicted Manny Recio of bribery and honest-services wire fraud amid a flurry of misconduct cases involving DEA agents accused of corruption and other federal crimes. Recio's former colleague, John Costanzo Jr., was sentenced last month to four years behind bars for orchestrating the $100,000 bribery scheme.
“He decided to cash in on his connections," U.S. District Court Judge Paul Oetken said of Recio during a hearing in Manhattan, adding the bribery conspiracy compromised DEA investigations. “He knew better.”
A decorated investigator who worked more than two decades in the DEA, Recio made an emotional apology in front of several family members and said he accepted his conviction. He told the judge he had “lost everything” through this prosecution, including his life savings.
“I don't even have a credit card, your honor," he said. “I stand before you without any excuses.”
The DEA did not respond to a request for comment.
Recio, 55, retired from the DEA in 2018 but remained close to Costanzo as he began recruiting clients as a private investigator for several Miami defense lawyers.
Prosecutors said Recio had been motivated by greed, writing in court filings that his “spending habits, including his purchase of a 2021 Porsche Macan, demonstrate the motive that led him to seek unlawful profits through bribery.”
“The ink was hardly dry on his retirement papers before he launched into this scheme,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Sheb Swett told the judge. “What they did was engage in law enforcement by secret, by inside information.”
Following the conviction of the two former DEA supervisors last year, federal prosecutors shifted their focus to the defense lawyers they said bankrolled the $100,000 bribery scheme, David Macey and Luis Guerra, recently getting clearance to review hundreds of normally privileged communications with Recio. Macey and Guerra have not been charged and have not responded to repeated requests for comment.
Much of the prosecution turned on text messages and wiretapped phone calls between the lawmen after a longtime DEA snitch turned on the same agency that launched his lucrative career as the go-to fixer for traffickers, prosecutors and defense attorneys alike.
Recio repeatedly asked Costanzo to query names in a confidential DEA database to keep abreast of federal investigations that would interest his new employers. The two also discussed the timing of high-profile arrests and the exact date in 2019 when prosecutors planned to bring charges against businessman Alex Saab, a top criminal target in Venezuela and suspected bag man for the country’s president, Nicolás Maduro.
In exchange, prosecutors said, Recio secretly funneled $73,000 in purchases to Costanzo, including plane tickets and a down payment on his condo in suburban Coral Gables, Florida. The two also deleted hundreds of calls and messages to a burner phone.
Recio's defense attorneys portrayed the former DEA supervisor as a generous friend and mentor who wouldn't have met Macey and Guerra if not for Costanzo's introduction. In seeking a more lenient sentence of 18 months, they collected letters from several other defense attorneys who praised Recio's work as an investigator in complex cases in which defendants sought to cooperate with the DEA.
“His intent was never to harm the DEA mission,” defense attorney Ronald Gainor said. “What we have here is someone who made l

ELECTION COVERAGE
Patrick Morrisey is GOP candidate for governor
By Brad McElhinny
May 14, 2024 - 9:59 pm
Patrick Morrisey, a three-term attorney general, has won the Republican nomination for governor.
The governor’s seat opened up because two-term Gov. Jim Justice, a Republican, is up against a term limit. He is running for U.S. Senate.
Competitors for the Republican nomination included Morrisey, two-term Secretary of State Mac Warner, former House Judiciary Chairman Moore Capito and businessman Chris Miller.
With 98% of the votes in, Morrisey had 71,737.
His closest competitor, Capito, had 60,647. Miller had 44,769, and Warner had 36,987.
“Thank you West Virginia. What an incredible night. We did it,” Morrisey said to supporters at his campaign headquarters. “We never give up.”
He said his campaign sent a message: “You do not mess with West Virginia. In West Virginia, we fight, we advance conservative values and boy do we win for our people.”
The Republican Governor’s Association swiftly congratulated Morrisey.
“Congratulations to Patrick Morrisey on his victory tonight in West Virginia’s Republican gubernatorial primary election,” said RGA Chairman and Tennessee Governor Bill Lee. “Patrick Morrisey has stood up to Democrats’ bureaucratic overreach time and time again, and he’ll continue to do just that as West Virginia’s next governor, delivering freedom and economic opportunity to West Virginians across the state.”
The only Democrat in the race for governor is Huntington Mayor Steve Williams.
“I think I can help,” Williams said on MetroNews election night coverage. “There are areas that need massive infrastructure additions. We need to make sure we’re working so hard to be able to compete with the rest of the world that we go at warp speed.”
He said he’ll gear up for a competitive election toward the fall, including the fundraising that can help with communication. “I can’t be everywhere at once, so I have to have the resources to let the people hear our message — and it is our message,” he said.
Capito had the endorsement of Justice, who characterized him as the best option for carrying on his administration’s priorities.
Some of the Republican candidates were carrying out family traditions.
Capito is the son of U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito and grandson of three-term Gov. Arch Moore. Miller is the son of Congresswoman Carol Miller and grandson of longtime Ohio Congressman Sam Devine. Warner’s brothers have been involved in politics and public service.
Money poured into the governor’s race, with Morrisey, Capito and Miller each having more than a million dollars on hand in the closing weeks. Miller’s campaign reported spending a whopping $2.7 million during the period.

AIPAC-affiliated PAC backs Maryland primary candidate with US$4 million
Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is seeing major national attention, with a PAC affiliated with AIPAC backing a candidate with over US$4 million.
Tuesday's Democratic primary in Maryland is receiving major national attention, with a political action committee affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee contributing over US$4 million to its preferred candidate.
One of the top two candidates, Harry Dunn, a former capitol police officer who became a national figure after testifying following the 6 January 2021 attack, has been endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and other prominent members of Congress, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and J Street.
The other leading candidate, Sarah Elfreth, a member of the Maryland Senate, appears to have most of her endorsements from state officials. She has received over US$4 million in donations from the United Democracy Project.
Both leading candidates have described themselves as supporters of Israel, though there appears to be a contrast in their messaging on Gaza.

Jeffrey Epstein’s original ‘little black book’ now on sale, expected to fetch $200K
“As far as I know, Mr. Epstein’s estate is in no way involved in any manner,” Panagopulos said.
“As for the proceeds of the sale, I can say with a great deal of confidence that they will be going to a party that does not, nor ever did have any connection with Mr. Epstein or anyone named in the book.”
The 64-page address book, dated by a forensic document examiner to be from around 1997, lists 349 people in total. Among them are celebrities including Robert F. Kennedy Jr, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo’s wife Cristina Greeven, actress Morgan Fairchild and billionaire Carl Icahn.
As with Epstein’s other black book, many of those included have denied meeting or having any connection to the pedophile financier.
The book on the auction block has an intriguing history of its own.
The book was initially stumbled across in the 90s by Denise Ondayko, a musician who claims she found it while walking down Fifth Avenue in New York City.
She held onto it, fascinated by the names inside, but not initially realizing it belonged to Epstein.
After realizing the book had numbers for Epstein’s mansions and staff, Ondayko put the book up for sale on eBay in 2020, with Chris Helali purchasing it for $425 and sharing some of its contents with reporters.
Auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s declined to auction the book on the grounds of it being in poor taste, but Helali was convinced to partner with Alexander’s by New York City antiques collector and expert, Billy Leroy, according to the Daily Beast.
Alexander’s noted interested bidders can come to the auction houses’ Maryland office to inspect the book after submitting a two day notice. Private bidding is open until June 15.
Once the auction closes, the top two bidders will be notified via FedEx and given the chance to make one final offer before a winner is chosen……….

GameStop, AMC drove $5 billion in trades on Robinhood in a single day
Other brokerages, like Public and Moomoo, also saw a boost in activity.
When meme stocks rally, the brokerages may benefit more than the investors.
On Tuesday night, CEO Vlad(who doesn’t have a brokerage license)Tenev shared on X that Robinhood Markets Inc. HOOD, +2.77% saw $5 billion in equities trading volume that day, one of the biggest days for the online broker in the past 12 months. Due to payment for order flow, in which market makers pay brokerages to send them their customers’ trades, Robinhood stands to gain when its customers are inspired to trade more.
Robinhood critics contend this fact could lead to conflicts of interest such as incentivizing more trading or the gamification of investing. Robinhood has faced lawsuits over its alleged gamification practices, and has removed certain features that could be interpreted as gamification—like its confetti animation that would play when a trade was placed. During a 2021 congressional hearing, Tenev told lawmakers that, “We don’t believe in gamification.” Shares of GameStop GME, -18.87% rallied in overnight trading on Sunday after X user “Roaring Kitty”(check his bank accts for large deposits to “reappear”)began posting cryptic memes after a three-year hiatus. The account is associated with investor Keith Gill, whose posts in 2020 and 2021 were credited with helping drive the initial meme-stock frenzy. GameStop shares jumped 74% on Monday and around another 60% on Tuesday, before pulling back over 30% intraday on Wednesday. The dramatic jump was reminiscent of GameStop’s boom in early 2021, and drove people to other meme stocks that were popular at the time, including AMC Entertainment Holdings Inc. AMC, -20.00%, BlackBerry Ltd. BB, -6.92% and Koss Corp. KOSS, -19.19%. With meme stocks making big gains, people were also wondering if this boost would match the magnitude of 2021. While not quite at that level yet, several brokerages felt the effects from the bump in meme stocks. Online trading platform Moomoo also saw a dramatic increase in trading volume, but couldn’t provide exact numbers.

Killers in Mexico 'can look like anyone' as cartels use women, kids as assassins, PI warns
Report: Sinaloa Cartel Gave Baja Murder Suspects to Police
With the high-profile murders of three surfers in Mexico grabbing headlines ahead of the busy American summer travel season, a private investigator is warning that killers in the country may not be who you expect.
Cartels are increasingly using women and children to carry out violent acts, Jay Armes III, who specializes in kidnappings in Mexico and works cases all over the world, told Fox News Digital.
Images and videos of cartel members in tactical gear with intimidating military-grade weapons are meant to instill fear, but "the scariest part" of violence in Mexico "is the bad guys don't look like bad guys," Armes said.
"When you capture these people and line them up, and you look at their faces, they look like your gardener, the waitress who served you dinner at a restaurant, the little old grandmother down the street," he said.
Police arrested three people in the investigation and the first suspect was charged last week for “forced disappearance,” according to a press release from the Baja California Attorney General’s Office.
“For the crime of forced disappearance committed by private individuals, the Attorney General’s Office of Baja California achieved the connection to the trial of Jesús Gerardo ‘N’, alias ‘El Kekas’, who will remain in preventive detention after his involvement in the crime committed to the detriment of two brothers of Australian origin and an American in Ensenada,” they said.

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s Protectors at JPMorgan Chase, Mary Erdoes, Has Sold $29 Million of Her Stock in the Bank Since Just Before Epstein’s Arrest in 2019
In 2020, Netflix released a documentary series titled “Filthy Rich,” based on the book by the same name. The series examined how sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was able to continue to enjoy his wealth and power even after Palm Beach, Florida police had built a case that he had sexually-assaulted more than a dozen young girls – many from public schools in middle-class areas surrounding the mansions of Palm Beach.
A sweetheart deal between the Florida State Attorney and the U.S. Department of Justice allowed Epstein to serve just 13 months in jail from June 2008 to July 2009, most of it in a work release program in which he was driven to an office daily by his chauffeured limousine. Epstein was allowed to be on the loose for another decade until the Department of Justice was embarrassed into arresting Epstein on federal sex trafficking charges on July 6, 2019, following an explosive series of articles about Epstein’s victims by Julie Brown in the Miami Herald. (Epstein died in a Manhattan jail on August 10, 2019, a little more than a month after his arrest. His death was ruled a suicide by the New York City Medical Examiner.)
Despite Epstein’s earlier arrest in Florida and sensational headlines that followed, Epstein was able to continue his long-term banking relationship with the largest bank in the United States – JPMorgan Chase – until at least 2013. (JPMorgan Chase is now a five-count felon itself, able to endlessly cut sweetheart deals with the U.S. Department of Justice.)
One of Epstein’s protectors at JPMorgan Chase was Mary Erdoes – who continues to serve as CEO of the bank’s Asset & Wealth Management business that caters to the ultra-wealthy.
Erdoes may never get as “filthy rich” as Epstein, but she has sold $29 million of her JPMorgan Chase stock since just before Epstein’s arrest in 2019. That includes the following amounts: $3.9 million so far this year; $3.7 million in 2023 as headlines flew around the world over the Epstein-related allegations against the bank made by the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands in federal court in Manhattan; $3.9 million in 2022; $7.4 million in 2021; $2.4 million in 2020; and less than three months before Epstein was indicted in 2019, Erdoes sold $7.95 million. These dollar amounts do not include the millions in stock sales that Erdoes made, ostensibly to pay taxes on stock awards.
How did Erdoes come by all of this stock in the bank? The company granted it to Erdoes on the basis of good performance.
This is what the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands alleged in a federal lawsuit last year against JPMorgan Chase and Erdoes: (Epstein owned a private island and compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands.)
“In 2006, a JP Morgan Rapid Response Team noted that Epstein ‘routinely’ made cash withdrawals in amounts from $40,000 to $80,000 several times per month, totaling over $750,000 per year. In addition, Mary Erdoes admitted in her deposition that JP Morgan was aware by 2006 that Epstein was accused of paying cash to have underage girls and young women brought to his home. In the years that followed, JP Morgan employees, including senior executives, emailed internally that Epstein was under investigation or had been sued for trafficking or sexual abuse. This includes an email in 2010 between Mary Erdoes and Jes Staley regarding a federal investigation of Epstein for child trafficking; a 2011 email summarizing a few 2010 news stories connecting Epstein to human trafficking and promising to ‘monitor the accounts and cash usage closely going forward;’ and a 2011 compliance memo noting that ‘[n]umerous articles detail various law enforcement agencies investigating Jeffrey Epstein for allegedly participating in child trafficking and molesting underage girls’ and that ‘Epstein had settled a dozen civil lawsuits out of court from his victims regarding solicitation for an undisclosed amount.’ Internal emails also questioned who Epstein’s clients were, circulating an article regarding whether Epstein was running a Ponzi scheme.
“Indeed, Epstein’s behavior was so widely known at JPMorgan that senior executives joked about Epstein’s interest in young girls. In 2008, for example, Mary Erdoes received an email asking her whether Epstein was at an event ‘with miley cyrus.’ In her deposition, Mary Erdoes testified that JP Morgan terminated Epstein as a customer in 2013 after she became aware that the withdrawals were ‘actual cash.’ However, Epstein had made substantial cash withdrawals every year he banked with JP Morgan….”

This is how the New York Times reported Erdoes’ role with Epstein in August 2019: “When compliance officers at JPMorgan Chase conducted a sweep of their wealthy clients a decade ago, they recommended that the bank cut its ties to the financier Jeffrey E. Epstein because his accounts posed unacceptable legal and reputational risks.” The reason the relationship was allowed to continue, “according to six former senior executives and other bank employees familiar with the matter, was that Mary C. Erdoes, one of JPMorgan’s highest-ranking executives, intervened to keep him as a client, ” according to the New York Times article.
Any person with a criminal history of paying hard cash to underage girls for sex assaults, and who is taking large sums of hard cash from a bank, should be terminated immediately. The bank is also legally-mandated to file reports with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). But according to an expert report written by a former FBI agent of 23 years, Shaun O’Neill, and introduced into evidence last year in the U.S. Virgin Islands’ federal court case, the following massive sums of hard cash were provided to Epstein by JPMorgan Chase:
“Epstein was able to withdraw large amounts of cash from his JPMC accounts for years [Redacted]. In the year 2003, Epstein was able to withdraw highly suspicious amounts of cash totaling $175,311. In 2004, he withdrew $840,000. In 2005, he withdrew $904,337. In 2006, he withdrew $938,625. In 2007, he withdrew $526,000. In 2008, he withdrew $469,000. In 2009, he withdrew $165,011. In 2010, he withdrew $253,397. In 2011, he withdrew $260,000. In 2012, he withdrew $290,000. In 2013, he withdrew $197,152.”
O’Neill writes further in the statement filed with the court last year:
“Human trafficking under U.S. law was transformed with the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (the TVPA) in 2000. The TVPA equipped law enforcement, prosecutors and victim advocates with new tools and resources to mount a comprehensive and coordinated strategy to combat modern forms of slavery both domestically and internationally…
“In reference to sex trafficking of a minor with great relevance to the numerous victims at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein, minors need not demonstrate force, fraud, or coercion were used against them to induce them to engage in a commercial sex act. Rather, U.S. law has firmly established that minors cannot consent to commercial sex. Additionally, there is recognition that many forms of human trafficking do not involve force but rather occur through psychological manipulation against victims.”
O’Neill indicated that “Based on the review of the 17 victim statements contained within the July 25, 2006 Palm Beach Police Department Incident Report, more than ten victims were under the age of 18. The elements of child sex trafficking were present as the allegations referenced a commercial sex act involving a minor and there is no such thing as a ‘child prostitute.’ The allegations reflected a textbook definition of human trafficking.”
O’Neill put the blame for the expansion of Epstein’s sex trafficking ring at the feet of JPMorgan Chase, writing:
“Had JPMC cooperated with federal law enforcement and [Redacted]….Epstein would have been federally charged at a much earlier date. He likely would not have received the Florida Non-Prosecution Agreement, and he would have been imprisoned for the sex trafficking and money laundering crimes that he committed at an earlier time, thereby shrinking his overall list of victims.”
The long-tenured Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, Jamie Dimon, was deposed in the U.S. Virgin Islands court case. His narrative is that he lived a cloistered existence in a corner office on the 48th floor of 270 Park Avenue where even the top executives who directly reported to him and worked only “a couple hundred feet” away from his office, never shared with Dimon their knowledge of, and meetings over, the bank’s concerns about Epstein’s massive withdrawals of hard cash, his prior history as a jailed sex offender in Florida, or his appearance on the front page of the New York Post in 2011 with the giant, all caps bold headline: “PRINCE AND PERV,” featuring a photo of Prince Andrew and Epstein, and the commentary: “Randy Andy with NYC sex creep.”
Somehow, the fact that Epstein was referring to JPMorgan Chase some of the richest and most politically-connected men in the world also escaped Dimon’s perch in that corner office. According to the Attorney General of the U.S. Virgin Islands, Epstein referred the following individuals to the bank as clients: the sixth richest man in the world, Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates; the ninth richest man in the world, Google co-founder and billionaire Sergey Brin; the Sultan of Dubai, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem; media and real estate billionaire Mort Zuckerman; former U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Harvard President Larry Summers, and numerous others.
As chance would have it, Dimon – for the first time since taking the helm of the bank – is also selling large chunks of his stock in the bank. See Jamie Dimon Dumped $150 Million of His JPMorgan Stock in February; Now He Says His Regulators Want 25 Percent More Capital at his Bank.

Rumble Sues YouTube for Over $1 Billion in Damages
On Monday, video streaming platform Rumble announced it is suing YouTube parent company Alphabet for over a billion dollars in damages.
The suit claims that “Google exploits significant conflicts of interest that stem from its multiple roles in this electronically traded marketplace,” and is therefore able “to pocket a supra-competitive portion of every advertising dollar that passes through the Ad Tech markets it controls, ad-revenue that rightly should have passed through to publishers like Rumble and its content creators.” Rumble added to the criticism that Alphabet was acting as a monopoly, referencing established antitrust precedence.
This will be the second lawsuit Rumble has carried out against Google in a handful of years, with the first being the 2021 lawsuit over Alphabet’s self-preference in search results. The earlier lawsuit also confronted Alphabet for its relationship with Android and preloaded bundles of their apps on Android devices.
A little over a year ago, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) and eight other states joined in a lawsuit alleging Sherman antitrust violations. The complaint alleges, “competition in the ad tech space is broken, for reasons that were neither accidental nor inevitable. One industry behemoth, Google, has corrupted legitimate competition in the ad tech industry by engaging in a systematic campaign to seize control of the wide swath of high-tech tools used by publishers, advertisers, and brokers, to facilitate digital advertising.”
The European Union (EU) fined Google €1.49 billion for “abusive practices in online advertising” in 2019.
Rumble, headquartered in Longboat Key, Florida, was founded in 2013 with the aim to be a free speech alternative to YouTube. It has grown as creators, who have felt they have been unjustly persecuted by YouTube’s moderation policies, joined its competitor’s platform. Rumble stock currently gives them just under a $2 billion dollar market value. While YouTube makes just over 10 percent of Alphabet revenue, Alphabet currently trades at a $2.1 trillion market cap.
Business leaders may note that the prospects of a much smaller company legally targeting a larger competitor are usually not great. However, with the DOJ and EU having made similar legal claims, their likelihood of winning the suit may be stronger.

Emergency Alert - Ontario 'Canada'
Heard an Emergency Alert come through on the radio in the car (was not received on my Galaxy 5 - haven't had an alert since I moved out the the city)
Weird thing was - it came through as a PRESIDENTIAL ALERT. We do not have a President in Canada (last I heard). Even double-verified it with the person that did receive it (they have an older phone than mine).
Just wondering if all of Ontario received this one, or just my area?
Something coming down the pipe? Maybe we belong to the USA? Totally weird

Flood of Fake Science Forces Multiple
Journal Closures
Wall Street Journal, by Nidhi Subbaraman
Posted By: DVC, 5/15/2024 5:17:34 PM
Fake studies have flooded the publishers of top scientific journals, leading to thousands of retractions and millions of dollars in lost revenue. The biggest hit has come to Wiley, a 217-year-old publisher based in Hoboken, N.J., which Tuesday will announce that it is closing 19 journals, some of which were infected by large-scale research fraud. In the past two years, Wiley has retracted more than 11,300 papers that appeared compromised, according to a spokesperson, and closed four journals. It isn’t alone: At least two other publishers have retracted hundreds of suspect papers each. Several others have pulled smaller clusters of bad papers.

Whistleblower reveals how government rushed to give all clear after East Palestine train derailment and says he was threatened when he asked why
An EPA whistleblower has come forward with shocking claims over the government's response to the toxic East Palestine train derailment.
Robert Kroutil, a scientist who spent four decades in government agencies, claimed to NewsNation that the EPA strayed from its normal safety procedures when testing for hazardous contamination around the crash site.
He alleged that leaders delayed in deploying a chemical testing plane for five days, but still decided that evacuated residents were free to return to their homes after only three days.
Residents who returned home quickly reported adverse reactions, including rashes, breathing problems and nausea.
'That deployment was the most unusual deployment I’ve ever seen,' Kroutil said of the testing aircraft. 'You just wouldn’t do it that way.'
Kroutil originally worked for the Department of Defense, where he worked to develop the Airborne Spectralphotometric Environmental Collection Technology (ASPECT) aircraft, a high-tech plane used to detect levels of chemical contamination in the air.
He continued this work when he moved to the EPA to work as a contractor, but said throughout his career he had never seen the aircraft used in the manner that it was in the East Palestine disaster.
At the time that officials told residents it was safe for them to return to their homes, EPA Chief Michael Reagan specifically singled out the use of the ASPECT plane as a reason he made the decision.
'We’ve had boots on the ground, leading robust air quality testing, including the advanced technology ASPECT plane,' he said.
However, procedures normally called for the ASPECT plane to be deployed within hours, and Kroutil said he is still confused why it wasn't deployed in a timely manner, feeling it may have missed key data on the levels of toxicity in the area.
'In East Palestine, we had a big delay,' he told NewsNation. 'There was a big delay in getting the aircraft to Pittsburgh.'
Asked why officials may have postponed the flight, Kroutil said he is 'still asking myself that question.'
Following the derailment on February 3, 20203, he said: 'We should be collecting data on the 4th, the 5th, the 6th (of February), multiple flights on the 7th.
'We should be there at least two weeks to monitor the situation.'

President Biden and former President Donald Trump on Wednesday made their plans to officially debate, but the offer from the Biden team came with several strings attached. Trump gave Biden an open invitation to debate anytime, anywhere, and Biden rose to the challenge, telling Trump to "make my day" in a heavily edited video on social media. Alongside Biden's announcement came a letter from his campaign to the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD), and that letter revealed a few critical limits that Biden's team was placing on any debate between him and Trump.

Whistleblower Says Democrat Politician Ran A Dark Website For Pedophiles
If you want to know how truly evil the people we’re dealing with are, you need to hear this:
This is from Nathan Larson, Democrat politician, ran for Congress, multiple times. Ran a website for pedos to discuss their dark intentions and fantasies. Here's the quote.
“It's not enough to fck kids and take their innocence. You also need to reproduce the next generation with them. Let them see that you prefer to fck the offspring you have with them, than to have s*x with a woman who is no longer jailbait.”
There is more to the quote mentioned in this video but honestly it just gets so much more dark and disgusting I won’t transcribe it. You can watch the clip and hear it.
The whistleblower provided the evidence to Major News Media, no one would run the story. He says they were all aware of it including enforcement agencies but no one would do anything about it
Democrats Nathan Larson is an admitted pedophilia advocate who also was on trial for allegedly grooming and kidnapping a 12-year-old girl

Peru’s Government Officially Classifies
Trans, Nonbinary, and Intersex as ‘Mentally
Ill’ People
Gateway Pundit, by Jim Hᴏft
Posted By: rememberwhen, 5/15/2024 3:41:18 PM
The Peruvian government has taken a firm stand on the issue of gender identity. A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.” Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA specifies “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental health conditions, The Telegraph reported. It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.

The EC-37B Compass Call electronic warfare (EW) aircraft is being developed to provide improved electronic attack capabilities for the US Air Force (USAF) based on the Gulfstream G550 commercial business jet.
The new platform is based on the Gulfstream G550 Conformal Airborne Early Warning Aircraft (CAEW) airframe, which is a derivative of the G550 business jet. It is equipped with the existing Compass Call EW system installed on the ageing Lockheed Martin-built EC-130H Compass Call electronic attack aircraft.

Dear Chairmen Jordan, McHenry, Smith, and Comer:
I write to follow up my letters of April 23, 2024, and May 1, 2024, concerning the potential manipulation of the stock of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (“TMTG”), which trades on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the ticker “DJT.”
As you know, Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Regulation SHO (“Reg SHO”) guidance clearly states that the only way to establish “reasonable grounds” for short sales of threshold securities like DJT is if the broker-dealer pre-borrows the securities; moreover, “a broker-dealer may not re-apply a locate for intra-day buy to cover trades.”1 SEC guidance also provides that “bona-fide market-making does not include activity that is related to speculative selling strategies for investment purposes of the broker-dealer and is disproportionate to the usual market making patterns or practices of the broker-dealer in that security.”2 Despite this clear guidance, TMTG’s stock has appeared continuously since April 2, 2024, on the Nasdaq Reg SHO Threshold List, which results from persistent failures to deliver (“FTDs”) and can indicate the illegal “naked” short selling of a security.
The apparent anomalies surrounding the trading of DJT have become chronic and alarming to TMTG. In the last 30 trading days, an extraordinary volume of DJT shares traded have been shorts, leading to an astonishing quantity of FTDs. In fact, recently published SEC data indicate that FTDs exceeded 1 million DJT shares on eleven separate trading days between April 9, 2024, and April 30, 2024, with a peak of over 2.3 million FTDs on April 29, 2024, alone.3 Data made available to us suggest that serious anomalies may have occurred on that date, as well as on April 30 and May 1.

2 https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/regsho.htm
3 https://www.sec.gov/data/foiadocsfailsdatahtm
I respectfully request that you encourage the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to issue Electronic Blue Sheet (“EBS”) requests pertaining to April 29, April 30, and May 1 to firms that facilitate short sales, including but not limited to the following:
• Citadel Securities
• VIRTU Americas
• G1 Execution Services
• Jane Street Capital
• Apex Clearing
• Clear Street
• Cobra Trading
• Cowen and Company
• Curvature Securities
• StoneX Securities
• TradePro
• Velocity Clearing
In addition to obtaining relevant information from FINRA regarding these EBS requests, which could shed light on potential violations of Reg SHO, I again advise you to include in your investigation into this matter requests for the following records:
• Consolidated Audit Trail (“CAT”) trading data including trading records, quotes, market maker records, and add/drop records, and CAT tables revealing masked fields such as broker aliases;
• FINRA data including brokers’ short interest data and Trade Reporting Facility (“TRF”) data with brokers’ market participant identifiers (“MPIDs”);
• Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”) information including daily position reports, CNS accounting summaries, participant daily activity statements, universal trade capture data, consolidated trade summaries (M209 records), and correspondent clearing records;
• Reports from DTCC member firms reflecting total shares short since February 14, 2024 (including trading under the ticker ‘DWAC’ prior to March 26, 2024), CAT data for loan/borrow reports, and daily locate and pre-borrow logs.
I remain convinced that a robust inquiry is needed to protect shareholders, including TMTG’s retail shareholders, and to ensure that Main Street investors retain their faith in the fairness of U.S. markets. To that end, I am ready and willing to assist your efforts in any way possible.
Sincerely,
Devin Nunes
CEO, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.

UCLA attackers exposed: meet the violent Zionist agitators LA police haven’t arrested
The Grayzone has obtained a dossier detailing the identities of the Zionist hooligans who assaulted UCLA anti-genocide student protesters. It was sent to LA police, but no arrests have been made. And the cops still can’t explain why they disappeared for hours during the mob attack.
For over three hours, local and campus police stood down as the masked thugs assaulted students, journalists, and even officers of the law with fireworks volleys, pepper spray, and metal pipes. Though multiple attackers have been identified by community members on social media, to date there have been no arrests of pro-Israel goons.

Non-Citizens to be Removed from Ohio's Voter Rolls Prior to 2024 Election
Wendi Strauch Mahoney 05/15/2024 Source: uncoverdc.com LaRose Ohio
Non-citizens are the focus of Ohio's Secretary of State Frank LaRose's latest initiative to clean up the state's voter rolls. A recent review of the rolls by the Secretary of State's Public Integrity Division and Office of Data Analytics and Archives found, according to a May 14 press release, "137 voter registrations assigned to Ohio residents who have twice confirmed their non-citizenship status to the BMV. Ohio law requires two instances of individuals submitting documentation to the BMV indicating that they are not United States citizens. The individual must also have either registered to vote, updated a registration, or voted in Ohio between the two instances of submitting the required documentation to the BMV."
LaRose stated, "Ohioans overwhelmingly passed an amendment to our state constitution which makes it clear that only U.S. citizens can vote in our elections," said Secretary LaRose. "It is my duty under the law to uphold the constitution, and the legislature has explicitly tasked me with ensuring that only eligible citizens can register and vote. It's important to recognize that some of these registrations may be the result of an honest mistake," LaRose continued.
"These may be well-meaning people trying to pursue the American dream, and communication barriers sometimes result in a registration form being submitted in error. We need to help them get that cleared up before an accidental registration becomes an illegal vote that could result in a felony conviction or even deportation."
To cross-check citizenship data, the Secretary also requested additional access to records held by the Biden administration. The requests include:
• Access to the SAVE database, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration resource that helps verify citizenship status.
• Access to citizenship-identifying records from the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration databases.
• Federal district court records that disclose individuals disqualified from jury service due to a lack of U.S. citizenship.
Non-citizen voting has become a significant issue ahead of the 2024 election because the U.S. election system makes it challenging to accurately track non-citizen registrations and non-citizen voters. Due to Biden's open borders policies, the nation's borders have been flooded with illegal aliens, with over 10 million people entering the country since Biden took office in 2021—not including the "gotaways," according to True the Vote's published 611 Project.
Ohio Withdrew from ERIC in Spring 2023, Prompting a New System of Maintaining Voter Rolls
The new data analytics team was hired following Ohio's exit from ERIC in the Spring of 2023. LaRose wrote a letter to ERIC on Mar. 6, 2023, proposing reforms in the ERIC system, but his requests were met with resistance. Ohio was the sixth state to withdraw from the ERIC voter registration maintenance system. Since then, LaRose has taken steps to enhance the process of purging illegal registrations from the state's voter rolls. County boards will identify voters whose registrations have been inactive for four years.
Aside from removing non-citizens, a May 2 directive asked counties to engage in a more comprehensive effort to ensure the accuracy of the state's rolls.
Counties are directed to identify alleged illegal registrations by May 21 and must mail notices by May 31. The state's searchable database of inactive voter registrations will also be updated after May 21.

2/2
The ongoing review of possible gaps in Ohio's voter roll maintenance program requires counties to cross-reference voter registrations for the following issues:
• Voters who moved but failed to update their addresses in the system. Registrations flagged for cancelation in 2024 were first identified by the U.S. Postal Service's National Change of Address (NCOA) registry in 2020 and have been confirmed inactive for four years.
• Past due removals: The Secretary directed county boards to review registration data for records that may have been previously flagged for removal after the required four-year waiting period. "If the registrations are confirmed again to be inactive and eligible for removal, the boards have been directed to initiate that process. The Secretary of State's Office of Data Analytics and Archive, the first of its kind in the nation, identified this issue as part of an ongoing data integrity investigation."
• Returned acknowledgments: "These new registrations received an acknowledgment notice from a county board of elections that was returned as undeliverable by the Postal Service. By law, the registration must be placed in confirmation status, meaning the voter is notified by forwardable mail that they either need to update the registration or engage in "voter-initiated activity" to avoid cancelation."
• BMV Mismatches: "By law, the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles provides identification records to boards of elections used to verify voter registrations, such as a registrant's name, date of birth, last four digits of a Social Security number, driver's license number and whether the person has been identified as deceased. If any of this information mismatches with a voter's registration, the registration must be put into confirmation status, meaning the voter is notified by forwardable mail that they either need to update the registration or engage in "voter-initiated activity" to avoid cancelation."
LaRose is the first Secretary of State in the country to publish a "Registration Readiness roster." The Ohio Secretary of State's website will list the roster for public review. The website allows Ohioans to check inactive registrations before the removal is initiated. LaRose reassured Ohioans that he is committed to election integrity as a top priority, "These steps should give Ohioans confidence that election integrity is our top priority. The process we're initiating this week is just part of a larger, aggressive effort to ensure Ohio is ready for another high-profile presidential election this fall. We'll have more to announce soon."
In Ohio, a voter's registration status must meet the following conditions:
• The voter was notified no later than Jun. 30, 2020, that they appeared in the NCOA out-of-county database; OR whose notice was returned undeliverable; OR whose BMV records do not reflect voter registration.
• Registered to vote before Feb. 18, 2020
• No voting history since Apr. 28, 2020
• Has not engaged in any "voter-initiated activity" since they received a 2020 notice.
Voter-initiated activity includes voting, updating voter registration, submitting an absentee ballot request form, and signing a candidate or issuing a petition verified by a board of elections. Voters in Ohio should use the following form to update their registrations. Once notified, voters will have until Jul. 15 to update registration or engage in voter-initiated activity. Voters who fail to update their registration will be purged from the rolls on Jul. 22. New voter registration applications must be postmarked 30 days before the election to be eligible to vote in that election.
In another directive from LaRose, counties purged 26,666 registrations from the rolls in 85 counties in September 2023 before the November election, a decision that was criticized as "reckless" in a letter sent by State Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney (D-Westlake). Another 6,524 abandoned registrations were removed in Cuyahoga, Lucas, and Summit counties following the Nov. 7, 2023 General Election. Over 124,000 voters were also removed from the rolls after the 2022 election.
Innovations Ohio also criticized the Secretary of State in an "Ohio's Missing Voters" report published in October 2023. The group attributed the alleged decline (over 3% overall) in voter turnout between 2018 and 2022 to the Secretary's failure to register disadvantaged populations in the state. LaRose took office in 2018.

Trade war intensifies as Biden slaps more tariffs on Chinese products
Bojan Lepic May 15, 2024
US president Joe Biden has revealed a new set of major tariff increases which will hit many different Chinese imports as well as impact the shipping of those products.
The largest tariffs will be imposed on Chinese electric vehicles, advanced batteries, solar cells, steel, aluminium, and medical equipment. Biden opted to keep in place tariffs imposed during the Trump presidency while others were raised several fold. The first that pops out is the increase of duties on Chinese EV cars from 25% to 100% while semiconductor tariffs doubled from 25% to 50%, and lithium-ion EV battery duties jumped from 7.5% to 25%.
“American workers can out-work and out-compete anyone as long as the competition is fair, but for too long it hasn’t been fair. We’re not going to let China flood our market,” Biden said during a speech in front of the White House.
However, the tariffs will not hit hard in the short term because some will not take effect until 2026, but for EV batteries, solar, and other specific items, the impact will be immediate.
This, however, can hamper Biden’s climate goals and his job creation promises due to it raising the costs of EV production via tariffs on batteries.
The White House claimed that these measures will affect around $18bn in imported Chinese goods. But some are nothing more than a headline grab since the tariffs on EVs will not have an important impact since a very small number of those vehicles are imported from China.
Data from the US Census Bureau states that the US imported $427bn in goods from China in 2023 and exported just $148bn. This gap has existed for a long time and has become a thorn in Washington’s eye.
China, as expected, pushed back against the tariffs, and stated that this move would seriously affect the atmosphere of bilateral cooperation. The Biden administration believes that the tariffs won’t escalate tensions with China but it will certainly explore ways to respond to the new taxes on its products.
These measures are part of the presidential election tussle between Donald Trump and Biden who both, in their own way, support tariffs on Chinese products. Trump’s idea is to have 10% tariffs on all imported products regardless of where they come from and 60% tariffs on all Chinese goods.
Lars Jensen, CEO of Vespucci Maritime and an expert in the container shipping industry, said via social media that, purely from a container shipping perspective, the goods to note with increased tariffs are solar panels from China.
“More than 50,000 teu is imported into the US each quarter. However, it should here be noted that in 2023 a full 84% of these were imported from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia. But in this context, it should be noted that these are Chinese companies who set up operations in Southeast Asia in an attempt to not be subjected to the US/China trade war,” he noted.
“Another element to notice from a container shipping perspective is the introduction of a 25% tariff on ship-to-shore cranes from China,” Jensen added.
Tariffs on photovoltaic cells used to make solar panels were bumped from 25% to 50% while some critical minerals will have their tariffs raised from nothing to 25%. The tariffs on ship-to-shore cranes will rise to 25% from zero. In 2025 and 2026 tariffs will also be raised on lithium-ion batteries that are not used in electric vehicles, graphite, and permanent magnets.

Tweet from Katie Phang shows Maggie Haberman and Michael Cohen were working together. Any patriot knows that this is because Cohen was a plant and he and Haberman were out to get Trump (as per Q drops). However, the replies to Phang's tweet are full of leftards turning on Haberman, accusing her and the NYT of being in Trump's pocket. You can't make this shit up and it kinda freaks me out. In their defense, Haberman's mother did used to work for Trump. TBH, this whole thing does confuse me. The swamp is murky AF. Can any anon clear it up for me?

Keep an eye on Auto Insurance, it's currently the cause of nearly half of all annual Supercore inflation:
Supercore inflation equals the inflation of a basket of goods and services, minus the food and energy inflation, and minus the housing inflation.
This ultra-focussed lens is what makes the set of prices in the inflation measure "supercore."

Was pleased to meet with former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night at his private residence in NY. It was nice to catch up again, especially given the pile on he is currently dealing with in the US. Was also a good opportunity to discuss AUKUS, which received a warm reception. We also discussed the continuing assertions of China in the Indo-Pacific and the threats against Taiwan. These were issues we discussed regularly when we were both in office. Once again, the former President showed his true appreciation of the value he places on the Australia-US alliance and the shared role of supporting what our friend, Shinzo Abe, called a free and open Indo-Pacific. Good to see you DJT and thanks for the invitation to stay in touch. All the best.

Alexander Soros and the International Renaissance Foundation, which is part of the Open Society Foundations network, actively support the implementation of the Bring Kids Back UA plan.
This was discussed between Soros Jr and Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Nothing good comes from such meetings for the Ukrainian population.

BREAKING: The judge overseeing multiple 2022 midterm election challenges in Harris County, Texas has ordered a REDO for the 180th District Court judicial race after finding that there were many mistakes and violations of election law
"The court has found that 1,430 illegal votes were cast in the race for the 180th District Court and that it is not realistic or feasible to determine which candidate received those votes." - Judge David Peeples
The court also found that a “net margin of 321 votes (1146 to 825) were cast for Jones over Pierce in the extended one hour of voting on Election Day, which the court has found resulted from an official mistake by the Harris County Elections Administration Office.”
The 2022 election in Harris County was one of the most disastrous elections in the country, probably only bested by the rigged election in Maricopa County, Arizona. Voters were disenfranchised on election day and many illegal democrat votes were counted. All Republican candidates should immediately request a redo of the entire election, one rigged race should mean all the other races were rigged
This is great for election integrity

Slovakian PM 'still fighting in hospital' in major update on attempted assassination
The Slovakian PM has been rushed to hospital after he was shot in the street in an 'attempted assassination'.
By Sam Ormiston, Assistant News Editor, Alessandra Scotto di Santolo, World News Reporter
14:12, Wed, May 15, 2024 | UPDATED: 19:10, Wed, May 15, 2024
Robert Fico, the populist Prime Minister of Slovakia, is still fighting for his life after he was rushed to hospital following a horror shooting.
The terrifying "assassination attempt" took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles northeast of the country's capital Bratislava. The Slovakian Government confirmed that he is in "life-threatening condition" after being transported by helicopter, from a local hospital to one in the capital.
hting for his life after he was rushed to hospital following a horror shooting.
The terrifying "assassination attempt" took place in Handlova, a town located 93 miles northeast of the country's capital Bratislava. The Slovakian Government confirmed that he is in "life-threatening condition" after being transported by helicopter, from a local hospital to one in the capital.
In a public update, the Slovakian Minister of Interior Robert Kalinak said: "Slovakia has never been confronted with a situation like this".
He thanked emergency services, nurses and specialists at the hospital, "still fighting" for the PM's life.
"He's still in surgery, he suffered serious trauma after several shots. His health is pretty serious, the situation is bad," he added.
He added: "We hope he is strong enough to deal with this trauma."
Fico, a staunch ally of Russia's President Vladimir Putin, is still under surgery after sustaining injuries to his head and chest, according to an eyewitness at the scene, who told MNT.SK that she heard "three of four shots".
Reports confirmed the surgeons had to remove four bullets from his body.
He fell to the ground as emergency services swarmed the scene.
A suspect has been detained, according to local news station TA3, with a dramatic video showing the moment they were arrested.
A loud commotion can be heard, as police officers can be seen swarming the alleged attacker while sirens can be heard blaring in the distance.
The country’s president later confirmed a suspect is in custody in a televised statement. Fico was taken by helicopter to a hospital.
The motive for the shooting was unclear. Express.co.uk has contacted the Slovakian Police for comment.

The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway on Tuesday's 'Special Report' commented on potential Republican vice presidential picks visiting former President Donald Trump at his New York trial: "You can't really be a potential V.P. contender if you don't take a strong position against this lawfare. But I'm not sure if you can have a future in the Republican party period if you are not speaking out against this." "Again, it shouldn't be a partisan issue," Hemingway continued.

USCP Drug Investigation
The United States Capitol Police (USCP) is investigating a roughly one-inch by one-inch zip lock bag with a small amount of a white powdery substance, which field tested positive for cocaine.
The small bag was found on the floor of a hallway inside USCP headquarters. The hallway is on the second floor in an area that has been a staging spot for furniture and supplies. The area is heavily trafficked by various contractors and employees. It is also near offices such as Prisoner Processing, Crime Scene, Intel and Reports Processing.
The baggie was found in the middle of the floor just before 1:00 p.m. by an officer, who immediately reported it to a supervisor. The residue was field tested and came back positive for cocaine. The USCP Investigations Division has opened an investigation, which will include further testing, including DNA testing of the baggie. We will provide more information when it becomes available.

Story by ELLEN KNICKMEYER, Associated Press • 2 min read
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Interior Department staffer on Wednesday became the first Jewish political appointee to publicly resign in protest of U.S. support for Israel's war in Gaza.
Lily Greenberg Call, a special assistant to the chief of staff in the Interior Department, accused President Joe Biden of using Jews to justify U.S. policy in the conflict…..

NSW Police blasted after force reveals tourist who wore 'October 7' soccer jersey won't face charges: 'Tolerating public support for terrorism'
NSW Police has revealed it will not be pressing charges against a man who wore a shirt glorifying the October 7 terror attack to a major tourist attraction, sparking outrage from the Australian Jewish community.
Police will not press charges against a man who wore a shirt glorifying the October 7 terror attack to a major NSW tourist attraction because it did not break any laws.
The inaction has infuriated the peak organisation representing the Jewish community, with its chief executive saying it demonstrated the “weakness of our laws” and authorities’ tolerance for public support for terrorism.
The witness who reported the matter to police, Steve Joffe, said he was left feeling “disappointed” after receiving a phone call informing him that police had received legal advice that the sports jersey was not in breach of current legislation.
A NSW Police spokesman confirmed that officers attached to Blue Mountains Police Area Command had received legal advice and other than seizing and destroying the jersey, no further police action was expected against the 29-year-old who wore it.

Taiwan's president joins drag queens celebrating RuPaul win
Taiwanese drag queen Nymphia Wind and winner of hit TV series "RuPaul's Drag Race" performed a rousing medley of songs for outgoing President Tsai Ing-wen, thanking her for being the island's "mother".
During Tsai's two terms in power, her Democratic Progressive Party had been a strong proponent of social issues particularly on LGBTQ rights, making the island the first place in Asia to legalise gay marriage in 2019.
She will step down as president on Monday with that under her belt, as well as having been Taiwan's first woman president - two milestones that Nymphia Wind tearfully highlighted in a speech Wednesday at the presidential office.
"Thank you so much for your eight years of dedication, for becoming Taiwan's mother," the Taiwanese-American drag queen said.
The first East Asian winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race" performed three songs in the main entrance of the presidential office - the first by Taiwanese songstress Huang Fei, and then "Marry the Night" by Lady Gaga.
For the final song, Nymphia Wind was joined by five other Taiwanese drag queens as they danced and lipsynced to pop star Jolin Tsai's LGBTQ-centred song "Womxnly", which includes the lyrics "Never let anyone change who you are".
"This is probably the first presidential office in the world to host a drag show," Nymphia Wind quipped as Tsai applauded her after the performance.
The president said the performance "shows resistance to social discrimination, resistance to prejudice".
"I want to thank all the drag queens for speaking up for themselves, breaking the barriers and showing their beauty of fearlessness," Tsai said.
Nymphia Wind's win last month sent the island's social media into a frenzy when she said "Taiwan, this is for you!"
Tsai congratulated her then on social media site X, praising her "for being so accomplished in the difficult art form of drag, and for being the first Taiwanese to take the stage and win" "RuPaul's Drag Race".
"Taiwan thanks you for living fearlessly," she said in a tweet.

In a landmark decision, a Bexar County visiting judge has ordered a new election for the 180th District Court seat in Harris County, Texas. This ruling comes after Republican candidate Tami Pierce narrowly lost to Democrat DaSean Jones by a mere 449 votes in the November 2022 election.
DaSean Jones, who was sworn in as a Harris County criminal district court judge 15 months ago and has since presided over hundreds of cases, now faces uncertainty about his 2022 election victory.
Republican Tami Pierce continues to contest the election results in court, asserting that “improper or illegal votes were counted” and that the election was “riddled with errors.”

In a decisive win, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks defeated Rep. David Trone for the Democratic nomination for Maryland’s open Senate seat Tuesday, setting up what is expected to be a closely watched contest this November when she takes on former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan. The Associated Press called the race for Alsobrooks shortly before 10 p.m. when she was leading the three-term congressman with more than 50% of the vote, and her lead continued climbing through the night. Alsobrooks emerged victorious in the Democratic contest after trailing early in the campaign — and facing down an opponent who had piled millions

The Banking system of Cuba hasreportedly collapsed.
Cubans are reporting via Social Media all their money is gone from their accounts, and all Automated Teller Machines (ATM's) have been emptied.
This news is being heavily suppressed but it is getting out slowly.
At banks all over the country, aangry mobs descended upon banks where Police tried to turn them away. Instead, the mobs overturned Police Cars and sent the cops running.
It was all for naught. Not only were the banks closed, they were empty too. People who got in found open vaults - they weren't even broken into - and no cash in them at all.
The Cuban people have been left with no financial resources, they have no means of buying food …they are desperate and they are afraid.

(Here we have the latest excuse for something they were never going to do with any conviction as .1% raises is just playing-so say they do that 4 moar times to get to .5%-Big fuckin’ deal. They have bigger problems nao: a collapsing currency, spiking yields-compared to where they’ve been and the next time they buy yen they will likely sell our US Treasury Bonds which will spike rates. Last October is what caused our Treasuries to spike yields and lower their values. This news sent the Yen vs $ down which is strength and JGB yields down slightly-this matters BIGLY the correlation of yen and US Dollar because of muh yen carry trade)

External demand knocks 0.3 percentage points off growth

Thrify consumers, geopolitical factors among risks to outlook
Japan's economy contracted in the first quarter, squeezed by weaker consumption and external demand and throwing a fresh challenge to policymakers as the central bank looks to lift interest rates away from near-zero levels.
Preliminary gross domestic product (GDP) data from the Cabinet Office on Thursday showed Japan's economy shrank 2.0% annualised in January-March from the prior quarter, faster than the 1.5% drop seen in a Reuters poll of economists. Downwardly revised data showed GDP barely grew in the fourth quarter. The reading translates into a quarterly contraction of 0.5%, versus a 0.4% decline expected by economists.Private consumption, which accounts for more than half of the Japanese economy, fell 0.7%, bigger than the forecast 0.2% drop.It was the fourth straight quarter of decline, the longest streak since 2009.
Capital spending, a key driver of private demand, fell 0.8% in the first quarter, versus an expected decline of 0.7%, despite hefty corporate earnings.(and those profits are from low rates and devaluing currency)Cap 2&3
External demand, or exports minus imports, knocked 0.3 of a percentage point off first quarter GDP estimates.
Policymakers are counting on rising wages and income tax cuts from June to help spur flagging consumption.
The drag to growth from an earthquake in the Noto area this year and the suspension of operations at Toyota's Daihatsu unit are also expected to fade.
Still, a sharp decline in the yen to levels unseen since 1990 has fueled concerns about higher living costs, squeezing consumption.
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised interest rates in March for the first time since 2007, in a landmark shift away from negative rates, but the central bank is expected to go slow in unwinding easy money conditions given a fragile economy.

Robert Fico “is expected to survive” after surgery, his deputy prime minister Tomáš Taraba said.
Taraba told the BBC Fico was no longer in a life-threatening situation.
He said: “Fortunately as far as I know the operation went well – and I guess in the end he will survive. He is not in a life-threatening situation at this moment.
“He was heavily injured – one bullet went thought the stomach and the second one hit the joint – immediately he was transported to the hospital and then to the operation.”
There has been no official announcement yet about the prime minister’s condition.

Chinese Junk Bonds Jump to Three-Year High on Property Stimulus
(as our economy is based on consumption China’s is based largely on Real Estate and that ball haz to keep bouncing or it’s lights out..they can extend and pretend for a while but sooner or later the push to create sales in this sector will bite them just like it did here from 2000-2007 when that bubble popped)
China’s junk dollar bonds are rallying to their highest level in three years amid government efforts to shore up the bruised property sector. The average price of Chinese high-yield dollar bonds has jumped 2.1 cents so far this week and is set for the biggest weekly advance in seven months. Prices have risen to 85.5 cents, according to a Bloomberg index, the highest since September 2021, just before Fantasia Holdings Group Co.’s surprise default cast a spotlight on the extent of China’s property-debt problems. Top gainers this month included some of the survivors of the crisis, including China Vanke Co., Longfor Group Holdings and Seazen Group Ltd. Some of Vanke’s dollar bonds are poised for their largest daily gain Thursday since November last year. Its note due in 2027 jumped 6.3 cents on the dollar Thursday morning, while another one maturing in 2029 is up 6.7 cents.
Despite the rise in junk-bond prices among some property developers, a large portion of the market remains deeply distressed. Dollar notes of defaulted builders such as Country Garden Holdings and China Evergrande Group, which have been removed from the Bloomberg index, are still trading below 10 cents on the dollar. Government policy is moving in the right direction and we could see light at the end of tunnel next year, said Ting Meng, senior credit strategist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. “If these policies [had] come earlier, the effectiveness will be much better,” she said.
Stock prices in the sector also surged on Thursday. A Bloomberg gauge of Chinese developers showed shares rising as much as 10%, led by defaulted developer Sino-Ocean Group Holding Ltd., which climbed 51%, and CIFI Holdings Group Co., which gained 25%.
This week’s rally comes as China’s government mulls added steps to stimulate demand in the property sector. China’s State Council is considering a proposal to have local governments across the country buy millions of unsold homes from distressed developers at steep discounts using loans provided by state banks. Many of the units will then be converted into affordable housing, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. Across China’s major cities, local governments are putting together efforts to loosen home purchase rules. Xi’an, the capital of Shaanxi province, and Zhejiang province’s capital of Hangzhou both scrapped all their remaining curbs on residential property purchases last week.

The partnership between Moscow and Beijing are a stabilizing force in the world, the Russian leader said
The Russian leader made his comments during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The trip is Putin’s first foreign visit since he was sworn in for his fifth presidential term this month.
“It is absolutely crucial that the Russian-Chinese relations are not ad hoc contacts and are not aimed against anyone,” Putin said.
“Our cooperation in world affairs is one of the main stabilizing factors on the international stage. Together, we defend the principles of fairness and the democratic world order based on the multipolar realities and international law.”

The government has convened peak intelligence and security officers to act after of a large-scale data breach on a health provider.
An Australian private health organisation has been targeted by a large-scale ransomware attack.
National Cyber Security Coordinator Michelle McGuinnes said in a statement she had been advised of a large-scale ransomware breach incident against a private health information provider on Wednesday afternoon.
“I am working with agencies across the Australian government, states and territories to co-ordinate a whole-of-government response to this incident,” her statement read.

Are these the honest ones being silenced?
FBI STUDY: More Law Enforcement Officers “Feloniously Killed” Under Biden/Garland DOJ Than in Any Other 3-year Period in Past 20 Years
ANALYSIS: Under the Biden Administration, “from 2021 to 2023, more officers were feloniously killed (194) than in any other consecutive three-year period in the past 20 years (73 officers in 2021, 61 officers in 2022, and 60 officers in 2023).”
Under the Biden Administration, “from 2021 to 2023, more officers were feloniously killed (194) than in any other consecutive three-year period in the past 20 years (73 officers in 2021, 61 officers in 2022, and 60 officers in 2023).” Today, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program released Officers Killed and Assaulted in the Line of Duty, 2023 Special Report, which is the source for that historically unsettling data point. The FBI study includes data from the Law Enforcement Employee Counts on the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer, linked at cde.ucr.cjis.gov. In an election year, the findings of the study are problematic for the “DEFUND THE POLICE!” crowd quietly and implicitly led by the Biden Administration, Joe Biden, the Department of Justice and AG Merrick Garland.
According to the FBI, “Officers Killed and Assaulted in the Line of Duty, 2023 Special Report, provides preliminary counts of law enforcement officers killed and assaulted in 2023, as well as an in-depth analysis of law enforcement officers who were killed or assaulted from 2014 through 2023, based on the data voluntarily provided by law enforcement agencies to the FBI’s UCR Program.”
For a presidential administration seeking reelection in 2024, which has leveraged two-tiered justice to target its political opposition at the same time it has walked both sides of the line to defund law enforcement agencies the nation over, the data set speaks for itself in the category of playing dumb games and winning stupid prizes.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to foment civil unrest by promoting protest at the same time you sought to defund those responsible for enforcing the law and ensuring public safety?
Not anyone without a duplicitous agenda.
A summer of “mostly peaceful protest” in 2020 that was unpacked after America was locked-down in a fraudulent “pandemic” presents as a perfect on ramp for the consequences resulting from the Biden Administration’s policy decisions.

IDF announces 5 soldiers killed, 7 injured in ‘friendly fire’ case in northern Gaza
Tank fired shells at building where the troops were stationed; probe underway * Israel strikes in Lebanon’s Baalbek after Hezbollah drone hit sensitive military site in Galilee
Five Israeli soldiers were killed and another seven were wounded, including three seriously, in an incident of so-called friendly fire in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya yesterday, the military announces.
The slain troops are named as
Cpt. Roy Beit Yaakov, 22, from Eli
Staff Sgt. Gilad Arye Boim, 22, from Karnei Shomron
Sgt. Daniel Chemu, 20, from Tiberias
Sgt. Ilan Cohen, 20, from Karmiel
Staff Sgt. Betzlel David Shashuah, 21, from Tel Aviv
The soldiers all served in the Paratroopers Brigade’s 202nd Battalion.
According to an initial IDF probe, a tank operating alongside the paratroopers in the Jabaliya camp fired two shells at a building where they were gathered at around 7 p.m.
The tank forces had arrived at the area in the morning hours, and several hours later, the paratroopers reached the area and established a post in the building. Later in the evening, another group of paratroopers reached the area and notified two of the tanks there that they were entering the building.
The tank forces had later identified a gun barrel from one of the windows of the building and believed it was enemy forces, leading them to fire two shells.
The incident is being further probed.

It says it has "taken immediate steps to mitigate any potential impact on our systems", and believes the incident originated from a third-party vendor.
MediSecure's website has been pulled, and the company has posted a statement saying it has identified a cyber security incident impacting "the personal and health information of individuals".
The company is a prescription exchange service, which facilitates electronic prescribing and dispensing of prescriptions.
It says it has "taken immediate steps to mitigate any potential impact on our systems", and believes the incident originated from a third-party vendor.
"MediSecure takes its legal and ethical obligations seriously and appreciates this information will be of concern.
"MediSecure is actively assisting the Australian Digital Health Agency and the national cyber security coordinator to manage the impacts of the incident."
MediSecure was one of two companies awarded contracts by the federal government to provide PBS e-script services until late last year, when the tender was granted exclusively to another company, eRx.
In October last year, the ACCC granted authorisation for MediSecure to transfer all publicly- funded electronic prescriptions and data to eRx.
MediSecure said at the time it would remain in the market providing private prescriptions. It's unclear what data has been compromised and over what time period.
The company could not be contacted today.
Earlier, national cyber security coordinator Michelle McGuinness was unable to share what company had been affected.
"I am working with agencies across the Australian government, states and territories to coordinate a whole-of-government response to this incident," Lieutenant-General McGuinness said in a statement on social media platform X.
"We are in the very preliminary stages of our response and there is limited detail to share at this stage, but I will continue to provide updates as we progress while working closely with the affected commercial organisation to address the impacts caused by the incident."
The organisation is also working with the Australian Federal Police.
Cyber Security Minister Care O'Neil says she was briefed on the breach, and the government had convened a national coordination mechanism.
"Updates will be provided in due course," she said on social media platform X.
"Speculation at this stage risks undermining significant work underway to support the company's response."
Australian Medical Association president Steve Robson said the organisation is seeking urgent briefings on the incident.
"There needs to be a thorough and transparent investigation, backed by clear and consistent communication to the public and profession," Professor Robson said.
"These are critical to maintaining community trust in the electronic systems that are now integral to the functioning of our health system."
In October 2022, Medibank revealed hackers accessed the personal data of all customers across its Medibank, ahm and OSHC brands, affecting millions of Australians.

Hunter Biden’s legal defense has a problem: The patron paying the bills is running out of cash
Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has loaned millions to the president’s son, has told associates he is tapped out.
Less than a month before the start of his first trial, Hunter Biden may be losing a key financial lifeline.
Kevin Morris, a Hollywood entertainment lawyer who has long supported the president’s son, has told associates that he has run out of resources to help fund Biden’s legal defense, according to a person close to Morris who was granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.
“The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter,” said the person. “Now, four and a half years later, there’s still no help — and now Kevin is completely tapped out. So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources. It’s pretty dire.”
Reached for comment about this reporting, Morris confirmed the person’s account but declined to elaborate further. A spokesperson for Biden’s legal team also declined to comment.
Biden is scheduled to begin trial on June 3 on federal gun charges in Delaware. A separate case, in which Biden is charged with federal tax crimes, is scheduled to go to trial June 20 in California.
Morris has played a key role in handling Biden’s legal bills, as he detailed in an interview with lawmakers in January. The possibility that Morris can no longer serve as a benefactor is the latest sign of the tumult surrounding the president’s son in the final weeks of preparation for two trials that he — and his father — had hoped would never happen.
The person close to Morris said that the Hollywood lawyer faces financial constraints that present “a huge problem” and that there are concerns about how Biden will pay for expert witnesses to testify for him at his Delaware trial. It is unclear precisely how much Morris has spent thus far to support Biden, but in aJanuary letter to the House oversight committee, Morris’ lawyer said Morris had loaned Biden more than $6.5 million.
At a pretrial hearing on Tuesday in Wilmington, Biden’s lead defense attorney, Abbe Lowell, signaled that the preparation for the first trial — on charges that Biden illegally bought a gun as a drug user and lied about it on a government form — is facing headwinds. As the hearing opened, Lowell told Judge Maryellen Noreika that for the first time in his long career, he wasn’t ready for a trial to start. He noted the complexity of Biden’s legal situation: two trials looming within weeks of each other, and appeals proceedings already underway in both jurisdictions.
Lowell told Noreika that he and his team have been preparing for the trial, but that one hurdle was finding expert witnesses to testify on a variety of evidentiary issues, including drug addiction and forensics. He said he found three experts who had “tentatively agreed” to get involved but that he was still working to finalize retention agreements for these people.
Experts who testify for defendants at trials can bill $500 per hour or more for their work. They can rebut the analysis that government experts provide about evidence presented at trial.

Lowell described having strained “resources” to handle preparation for two trials — currently scheduled to start in the same month — on two different coasts.
But the judge was unmoved, and declined his requests for the trial to be postponed.
It’s not clear how much Lowell, or the other lawyers working on Biden’s cases, are charging for their services. In other recent cases, Lowell has sought fees of $855 per hour and over $1,500 per hour.
Morris and Biden met in 2019 during now-President Biden’s campaign. They both were raised in the mid-Atlantic in Roman Catholic families, and immediately developed a close bond. At the time, Biden was trying to get his life on track and stay sober. Morris helped him get safe housing and pay his overdue tax bill. In his January interview with congressional investigators, Morris said he and Biden spoke every day and were like family.
CNN reported in October that Biden has racked up more than $10 million in legal bills over the years. Since becoming sober several years ago, the president’s son has focused on painting as his occupation. He signed with a New York gallerist, Georges Berges, to sell his work. But that gallerist told congressional investigators that the relationship was not as lucrative as he had hoped, and that Biden’s art would have sold for more if not for the baggage associated with his name.
“Had his name been somebody else, he would have been doing a lot better,” Berges said in his testimony. “I have artists that I don’t think are as good that are selling for higher than he is. And so it’s actually — I feel bad for him in so many ways because I think he’s a great artist, and he just can’t get a break.”
Of about 20 pieces of art Biden sold with Berges’ gallery, 11 works were sold to Morris, he said. Morris purchased the art by paying the gallery’s commission for the sale, and Biden’s share was handled without the gallery.
Berges also told lawmakers he stopped representing Biden last year.
“From a business perspective, it hasn’t been the best decision for me,” he said.

anons opine including flashback on the WHO pandemic treaty plus good discussion
THE W.H.O PANDEMIC TREATY IS TO BE HELD ON THE 27TH OF MAY 2024 !!!
Note: Some things to highlight, The pandemic was a manufactured event globally, everyone was in lockstep, leaders, media, politician, celebs, the used fear and psychological warfare on the populations of the world and rolled out a vaccine globally whilst shutting down business's and locking people up in the homes, killing the elderly with midazolam and morphine to slowly kill them on end of life protocol, different named versions around the globe.
The got every nation to take out i.m.f loans from /by the world bank. (all planned by the B.I.S). death toll is off the charts including adverse disabilities, see deagal predictions (c.i.a connected).
one moar thing, many leaders died of suspect events who tried to not use their tests and vaccines, e.g John Magufuli’s of tanzania (paw paw fruit and goat dna) plus many others who stood up against big pharma, latest could be the Slovak p.m who just got shot..
The W.H.O treaty not be signed, so far 49 rep senators have sent a letter to biden not to sign it, farage is highlighting it, many others are making noise in the media and especially on social media, join in and highlight this grab at power by the w.h.o which is attached to the U.N and will be part of the world health social credit I.D attached to the monetary system to track and control every single person on earth alive and future generations.
ps this is a good discussion with reminders of the w.h.o and although does not get into the w.e.f or bill gates. that is already known by all those with eyes to see.
We should all be ‘worried’ about the WHO pandemic treaty

Sky News host Celeb Bond has questioned the proposed World Health Organization's pandemic treaty.
“It raises obvious questions about why you would want this global body to have control over you as a sovereign nation,” Sky News host Caleb Bond said.
“The UK in the in the last few hours has said that it will not be signing on to the treaty in its current form because it is worried, as we all should be, that it would take away their ability to operate as a sovereign nation.”

Michael Cohen's Former Lawyer Shatters His Testimony
While testifying before a House committee on Wednesday, Robert Costello, a lawyer who previously represented Michael Cohen, spilled the beans on a number of things that seriously damaged the unprecedented “hush money” case against Donald Trump.
Among the things he revealed included the allegation that Cohen told him “I swear to God, I don’t have anything on Donald Trump."
Costello criticized Cohen’s testimony on the stand as “full of lies,” stating “I read Michael Cohen’s testimony from yesterday’s trial in New York on the way down on the train and virtually every statement he made about me was another lie."
Costello also revealed that Cohen reportedly told him he didn’t believe Stormy Daniels’ claim about her alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006, and said that Cohen worried about the story being embarrassing to Melania Trump if Daniels went public with it. Costello said Cohen told him the money for Daniels was obtained through a Home Equity Line of Credit to conceal the source of the money. By contrast, Cohen claimed in court that Trump signed the check given to Daniels.
Costello blamed Cohen turning against Trump on him feeling “betrayed” for not being offered a White House job.

North Carolina could ban face masks for medical reasons in public
The North Carolina state Senate voted along party lines Wednesday to ban anyone from wearing masks in public, even for health reasons.
Republican supporters of the ban said it would help law enforcement crack down on protesters who wear masks. They say demonstrators are abusing COVID-19 pandemic-era practices to hide their identities following a wave of pro-Palestine protests nationwide and at North Carolina universities.
The bill goes even further and repeals an exception that’s been state law since the early stages of the pandemic that allows people to wear masks in public for health and safety reasons.
Thirty senators voted in favor of House Bill 237, while 15 opposed it and five were absent.
Democrats raised concerns about the bill, particularly for those who are immunocompromised or those who may want to continue to wear masks during cancer treatments, WRAL News reported.
State Sen. Sydney Batch (D) is a cancer survivor and shared with her fellow senators how her family wore masks to protect her and her weakened immune system during treatment.
She and other Democrats proposed ways to amend the bill so police could still crack down on protesters but continue to have legal protections for health concerns, but they were shot down, the outlet reported.
GOP Sen. Buck Newton brushed off the concerns, saying no one saw “Granny getting arrested in the Walmart pre-COVID” and thinks law enforcement will use “good common sense” when applying the law, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
The AP noted that the state’s general statutes on masking date back to the 1950s in an attempt to curb Ku Klux Klan membership, when the state passed a public masking ban.
Under the bill, if a person is arrested for protesting while masked, it would elevate the classification of a person’s crime, either a misdemeanor or felony, to one class higher.
>It now heads to Gov. Roy Cooper’s desk. Cooper, a Democrat, could veto the bill, but the North Carolina Republican Party has a supermajority and can override the expected veto.

Aurora Georgia
A familiar sight from Georgia, USA, the Moon sets near the western horizon in this rural night skyscape. Captured on May 10 before local midnight, the image overexposes the Moon's bright waning crescent at left in the frame. A long irrigation rig stretches across farmland about 15 miles north of the city of Bainbridge. Shimmering curtains of aurora shine across the starry sky, definitely an unfamiliar sight for southern Georgia nights. Last weekend, extreme geomagnetic storms triggered by the recent intense activity from solar active region AR 3664 brought epic displays of aurora, usually seen closer to the poles, to southern Georgia and even lower latitudes on planet Earth. As solar activity ramps up, more storms are possible.

NASA’s Juno Provides High-Definition Views of Europa’s Icy Shell
MAY 15, 2024
Images from the JunoCam visible-light camera aboard NASA’s Juno spacecraft supports the theory that the icy crust at the north and south poles of Jupiter’s moon Europa is not where it used to be. Another high-resolution picture of the icy moon, by the spacecraft’s Stellar Reference Unit (SRU), reveals signs of possible plume activity and an area of ice shell disruption where brine may have recently bubbled to the surface.
The JunoCam results recently appeared in the Planetary Science Journal and the SRU results in the journal JGR Planets.
On Sept. 29, 2022, Juno made its closest flyby of Europa, coming within 220 miles (355 kilometers) of the moon’s frozen surface. The four pictures taken by JunoCam and one by the SRU are the first high-resolution images of Europa since Galileo’s last flyby in 2000.
Juno’s ground track over Europa allowed imaging near the moon’s equator. When analyzing the data, the JunoCam team found that along with the expected ice blocks, walls, scarps, ridges, and troughs, the camera also captured irregularly distributed steep-walled depressions 12 to 31 miles (20 to 50 kilometers) wide. They resemble large ovoid pits previously found in imagery from other locations of Europa.
A giant ocean is thought to reside below Europa’s icy exterior, and these surface features have been associated with “true polar wander,” a theory that Europa’s outer ice shell is essentially free-floating and moves.
“True polar wander occurs if Europa’s icy shell is decoupled from its rocky interior, resulting in high stress levels on the shell, which lead to predictable fracture patterns,” said Candy Hansen, a Juno co-investigator who leads planning for JunoCam at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona. “This is the first time that these fracture patterns have been mapped in the southern hemisphere, suggesting that true polar wander’s effect on Europa’s surface geology is more extensive than previously identified.”
The high-resolution JunoCam imagery has also been used to reclassify a formerly prominent surface feature from the Europa map.
“Crater Gwern is no more,” said Hansen. “What was once thought to be a 13-mile-wide impact crater — one of Europa’s few documented impact craters — Gwern was revealed in JunoCam data to be a set of intersecting ridges that created an oval shadow.”
Although all five Europa images from Juno are high-resolution, the image from the spacecraft’s black-and-white SRU offers the most detail. Designed to detect dim stars for navigation purposes, the SRU is sensitive to low light. To avoid over-illumination in the image, the team used the camera to snap the nightside of Europa while it was lit only by sunlight scattered off Jupiter (a phenomenon called “Jupiter-shine”).
This innovative approach to imaging allowed complex surface features to stand out, revealing intricate networks of cross-cutting ridges and dark stains from potential plumes of water vapor. One intriguing feature, which covers an area 23 miles by 42 miles (37 kilometers by 67 kilometers), was nicknamed by the team “the Platypus” because of its shape.

A banner announcing the opening of the Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA), set to open on May 27, is shown hanging in Changwon, South Gyeongsang, on Thursday.
KASA was based off of NASA from the United States. The Yoon Suk Yeol government aims to develop over 2,000 aerospace companies and generate 500,000 jobs through the establishment of the agency, with the goal of becoming one of the top five space powers globally by 2045. Seoul National University's aerospace engineering professor Yoon Young-bin was appointed by Yoon as KASA's inaugural chief on April 24.

Fico shooter protested suspension of Ukraine military aid – Slovak interior minister
Matuss Sutaj Estok called the suspect a “lone wolf” discontent with Bratislava’s policies
The man who critically injured Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday was afierce critic of the latter’s decision to stop arms shipments to Ukraine, Interior Minister Matuss Sutaj Estok has said.
Fico was shot at point-blank range several times on Wednesday as he greeted supporters in the small town of Handlova. The assailant was immediately arrested and the prime minister was rushed to a hospital in serious condition. Local authorities said earlier that there was a “clear political motivation” behind the attack.
Media reports identified the attacker as Juraj Cintula, 71, said to be thefounder of the Slovak Association of Writersand a supporter of the opposition Progressive Slovakia party.
On Tuesday, Sutaj Estok confirmed earlier media reports that “the perpetrator is charged with the premeditated crime of attempted murder” and stressed that this was “a politically motivated act.”
According to the minister, the suspect closely followed domestic and international events, and protested against several government policies, including the closure of the Special Prosecutor’s Office, and the suspension of military aid to Ukraine. Fico, a critic of the Western stance on the Ukraine conflict, campaigned on a promise to cut arms deliveries to Kiev, which he proceeded to do after taking over as prime minister after the election last autumn’
“He stated these reasons why he disagrees with the government policy and why he decided to assassinate the Prime Minister,”Sutaj Estok said, describing the attacker as “the so-called lonely wolf” not linked to any groups.
He noted that the suspect’s actions were in part accelerated by the recent victory of Peter Pellegrini, an ally of Fico, in the presidential election. The term of the current president, Zuzana Caputova, described as having pro-Western leanings, expires next month. Both Pellegrini and Caputova have denounced the attack, describing it as a threat to democracy.

(It’s just a number however this may get the reluctants into the long pool as the handoff to retail and hedgies continues-Natty Gas is up about 4.6x% and told ya that GME had a coupla days of gas and it was 2)
Stocks ticked higher Thursday, pushing the Dow Jones Industrial Average above 40,000 for the first time, as a banner year on Wall Street continued.
The Dow hit an intraday high of 40,000.54 and was last up 84 points, or 0.2%. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also hit record highs, gaining 0.2% each. The Dow’s march toward 40,000 comes as expectations of interest rate cuts and enthusiasm around artificial intelligence boost investor sentiment.
On Wednesday, the April reading of the consumer price index, a broad measure of how much goods and services cost at the cash register, increased 0.3% from the prior month. That was slightly below the Dow Jones estimate of 0.4%. The data sent stocks ripping higher, with the S&P 500 closing above 5,300 for the first time. The 30-stock Dow reached a fresh milestone Thursday morning, surpassing the 40,000 threshold.
At its high of the session, the average touched 40,002.75, climbing about 0.2%. Walmart shares helped lift the price-weighted index to its fresh high, as the big-box retailer jumped more than 6% following a fiscal first-quarter beat on top and bottom lines. The Dow’s new high follows a day after the three major averages closed at fresh records.

Slovakia faces ‘civil war’ – interior minister
The attempt to kill Prime Minister Robert Fico stems from a combustible political environment in the country, a top official has said
Slovakia appears to be on the brink of a civil war, its interior minister has warned, following the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Robert Fico on Wednesday.
The head of the Slovak government was shot in the eastern town of Handlova, where he had chaired a working meeting. The gunman, identified by the media as an opposition party supporter in his early 70s, acted on political motives, according to Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak.
Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok warned that the country was “on the edge of a civil war”over political tensions. Social media is full of “hateful comments” in the wake of the attack, he added.
Meanwhile, according to Kalinak, who spoke to journalists outside the hospital in the city of Banska Bystrica, where Fico was rushed for emergency surgery, “the inability to accept the will of some part of the public, which some group does not like, is the result that they have worked towards today.”
Fico, a nationalist and euro-skeptic, assumed office last year, after his Smer-SD party won the parliamentary election in September. He promised to put Slovakia’s interests first, including in the highly-contentious issue of the Ukraine conflict. His refusal to provide more arms to Kiev stood in sharp contrast to the previous government.
His victory was a defeat for Progressive Slovakia (PS), which suffered a second electoral upset in April. The presidential candidate endorsed by the pro-EU party was defeated by Peter Pellegrini. PS co-founder Zuzana Caputova is set to complete her term as president next month.
Fico has lashed out at comments coming from supporters of the opposition, particularly those upset by the waning power of the Progressives.He has also accused some media outlets of fanning the flames.
Some Slovaks are denouncing supporters of political forces they do not like as “misguided blind folk” that they are ashamed to have as their neighbors, he lamented in a video statement last month. Politicians face obscenities in the streets, he added.
”I expect this frustration to turn so intense that it could lead to the murder of one of the leading government officials,”Fico warned.
Many Slovak politicians and foreign leaders have condemned the attempt on Fico’s life. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Slovak leader was a “courageous and strong-spirited man,” and that those qualities would hopefully help him overcome the crisis. Fico’s deputy, Tomas Taraba, said his surgery was a success and that the prime minister is expected to recover.
