Younger Democrats, however, have taken a dimmer view of Israel in recent years.Progressive insurgents to Mrs. Pelosi‘s leadership, most notably those in the self-identified socialist “Squad,” have accused Israel of war crimes.
“We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian residents … Israeli forces are forcing families from their homes during Ramadan and inflicting violence,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said. “It is inhumane and the U.S. must show leadership in safeguarding the human rights of Palestinians.”
By far, the most vocal criticism from the “squad” has come from Ms. Omar and Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Ms. Omar, a practicing Muslim, has lambasted Israel for responding to the violence perpetrated against its citizens during the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
“Israeli airstrikes killing civilians in Gaza is an act of terrorism. Palestinians deserve protection. Unlike Israel, missile defense programs, such as Iron Dome, don’t exist to protect Palestinian civilians. It’s unconscionable to not condemn these attacks on the week of Eid,” said the Minnesota Democrat.
I look forward to soon watching [Liz Cheney] as a Paid Contributor on CNN or MSDNC!
Did other anons notice that the final line in Trump's Desk post is just about the exact final Question Laura Ingraham asked Jim Jordan last night?
"Do you think [Liz Cheney] will soon be a paid contributor on CNN or MSNBC?"

FBI RAIDS LORDSBURG, NM POLICE DEPARTMENT - ENTIRE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS SHUT DOWN
The warrant is sealed, but the Herald has learned that this is in reference to federal Stonegarden funds.
Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) is a program that provides funds for joint efforts to secure the U.S. border.
The Lordsburg Police Department is essentially out of commission for the time being.
The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office and New Mexico State Police will be taking over their duties.
===
FYI - While not well known, the area along the border south of Lordsburg and Deming (just to the east) are HIGH drug trafficking areas. Media most often just talks about AZ and TX, and (purposely?) skips over NM. Locals have wondered how LE seems to be able to afford expensive cars on crappy salaries.>>

White House Agrees To Removes China's Xiaomi From Pentagon Trade Blacklist
In what is being described as a "rare victory" for a Chinese technology giant entangled in a spat with the US government, it appears the Biden Administration has decided to end the persecution of Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi, which had been targeted by the Trump Administration, along with a host of other Chinese firms, most notably telecoms titan Huawei.
A Joint Status Report released late Tuesday showed the DoD and Xiaomi had agreed to resolve ongoing litigation "without further contest". Xiaomi had sued the US government after the Pentagon placed it on a government blacklist, accusing it of having close ties to the Chinese military, though the Biden administration now believes that vacating that designation "would be appropriate."
“The parties have agreed upon a path forward that would resolve this litigation without the need for contested briefing,” according to the filing. A comprehensive "joint proposal" is expected to be filed before May 20.
A Xiaomi spokeswoman said the company is watching the latest developments closely, without elaborating.
Xiaomi sued the government earlier this year after the Pentagon issued an order designating the firm as having ties to the PLA, Chinese military, which would have led eventually to the firm's forceful de-listing from US exchanges and its expulsion from global equity benchmark indexes. The settlement isn't exactly a surprise: An American judge granted Xiaomi an injunction back in March to prevent "irreparable" harm to the company's business on the expectation that the Trump Administration's move would likely be over turned (the ruling also cited the US government's "deeply flawed" process for including it in the ban, according to US District Judge Rudolph Contreras, who oversaw the case ).
Unsurprisingly, Xiaomi shares surged more than 6% on the news in Hong Kong markets on Wednesday.
But the deal is just another example of how the Biden Administration is trying to walk a tightrope between the Biden family's longstanding business ties to China (which we learned some new details about just the other day) and the antagonistic approach to waging economic war against China pioneered by President Trump, which has proven to be enduringly popular among the American people.
Founded by billionaire entrepreneur Lei Jun more than 10 years ago, Xiaomi was seen as a unlikely target for Trump's scrutiny (the firm enjoyed the financial backing of American chip giant Qualcomm in its early years).

Gas Shortage is our own government and industries Fucking We the People…
It is NOT Russians!!! Inverted Totalitarianism in FULL EFFECT.
US government and industry is doing this so Biden can SELL his Trillion dollar Green New Deal…with the added benefit (in their eyes) of keeping Americans from traveling (and spreading Covid).
This is going to get ugly real quick–putting pissed off people waiting hours for gas is a recipe for disaster. People are not going to be able to go to work or visit family…or get groceries. Gas sold out quicker than the toilet paper did last year.
TOTALLY SUCKS THAT 2021 is going to be EVEN SHITTIER than 2020.
For those of you who may not be familiar with the term Inverted Totalitarianismit was coined by a political philosopher in 2003 named Sheldon Wolin. Chris Hedges often explains it by saying it is a "slow motion corporate coup d'etat" where "economics trumps politics." The government represents only the billionaires, special interests and corporationsleaving We the People with no political power. The media is owned by the elite–so it acts to promote only the message government and industry want put out (propaganda).
Here is a paragraph from Shedon Wolin's original 2003 article in which he coined the term "Inverted Totalitarianism":
Representative institutions no longer represent voters. Instead, they have been short-circuited, steadily corrupted by an institutionalized system of bribery that renders them responsive to powerful interest groups whose constituencies are the major corporations and wealthiest Americans. The courts, in turn, when they are not increasingly handmaidens of corporate power, are consistently deferential to the claims of national security. Elections have become heavily subsidized non-events that typically attract at best merely half of an electorate whose information about foreign and domestic politics is filtered through corporate-dominated media. Citizens are manipulated into a nervous state by the media’s reports of rampant crime and terrorist networks, by thinly veiled threats of the Attorney General and by their own fears about unemployment. What is crucially important here is not only the expansion of governmental power but the inevitable discrediting of constitutional limitations and institutional processes that discourages the citizenry and leaves them politically apathetic.

‘Magic Fairy Dust’: Florida Restaurant Owner Says People Started Applying As Soon As Gov. DeSantis Nixed Unemployment Waivers For Job Search
A businessman who owns two restaurants – one in Florida and one in New York – said business is booming in the sunshine state after the state brought back the job search requirement for people receiving unemployment benefits while on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning.
“It’s just like that, magic fairy dust,” Buddy Foy Jr., owner of Chateau by the Lake, said. “Now you have to look for a job, the waiver is being removed for that search requirement for unemployment. And in the last 5 days, literally everyday it’s building to more and more.”
“We got zero phone calls in five months for jobs, we filled our jobs through referral, Steve, through our current employees. And in the last 5 days, our staff is saying ‘I can’t keep answering the phone, we have to serve customers’.”
Foy Jr., said business owners now get to “compete for labor” just as they had prior to the pandemic.
Meanwhile, business isn’t doing as well in New York, with Foy Jr., saying “business is tough” and that he’s “counting on referrals.”
“We will open New York Memorial Day Weekend and we will take reservations based on the supply of labor,” he said.
Foy Jr., recently moved to Florida, calling the move a “blessing” after New York forced him to shut down his business. Still, Foy Jr., says he understands why people don’t want to get a job when there’s no incentive.
“You make more money on your involvement at home, so I don’t blame them.”

Le Pen Denounces Migrant Taxi NGOs as Part of ‘Modern Slavery’
French populist leader Marine Le Pen denounced the activities of migrant taxi NGOs, linking them to people trafficking and modern slavery.
Le Pen made her statements on France’s national day of the abolition of the slave trade on Monday, criticising NGOs, which operate primarily in the Mediterranean Sea, for picking up migrants and transporting them to Europe.
“The trafficking of human beings organised by smugglers in the Mediterranean and encouraged under the guise of misguided humanism by NGOs funded by the European Union is part of this modern slavery,” Le Pen alleged in a statement released by her party, the National Rally.
“Slavery, as it was practised, was recognised as a crime against humanity. Its modern form and the resulting economic human trafficking is an abomination,” Le Pen said, adding that France should return to being a symbol to the world against tyranny, saying the country must fight against modern slavery.
“In particular, it requires breaking with ultraliberalism and globalism and putting the economy at the service of man, not the other way around,” she said.
Le Pen is not the first to accuse migrant taxi NGOs of being linked to people-traffickers, as such accusations have been levelled against so-called civil society groups for years.
In 2017, the Italian government released photographs that claimed to show people-smugglers directly working with a German NGO.
The following year, a former member of the security staff for a migrant taxi NGO claimed to have received death threats from far-left extremists after he had blown the whistle on activists allegedly co-operating with people-traffickers by alerting Italian authorities.
In July 2020, the German Joint Analysis and Strategy Centre for Illegal Migration (Gasim) levelled allegations of co-operation between the so-called charities and people-traffickers, saying that the criminals track the NGO vessels in the Mediterranean and send migrants to them.
The report also claimed that gangs had directly communicated with NGOs using a satellite phone in some cases.
Last week, Sea-Watch dropped off 454 migrants in Sicily, and SOS Mediterranee had delivered another 236 to the island just days before. Landings of illegal immigrants have soared in recent days.

BlackBerry Prevents DarkSide Ransomware — Years Before It Ever Existed
DarkSide is a newer ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) product that offers its malware for download on the dark web. Like many other RaaS vendors, DarkSide allows their customers to download malware and attack victims to extort money, exfiltrate files, and then share in the proceeds with the malware creators.
RaaS and other Malware as a Service (MaaS) vendors allow anyone to become a threat actor by offering the malware for download after signing up. This makes these services extremely dangerous for organizations around the world as traditional security companies are required to build defenses against hundreds if not thousands of different actors who attack with variants of the original malware.
Some RaaS services offer a very low barrier to entry, offering their malware for free in exchange for a share of the paid ransoms. Other RaaS vendors require some upfront payment to download the malware; but usually do not share in any profit from ransoms paid.
The FBI has been actively tracking DarkSide since it was first discovered in October 2020. The attack often occurs in two phases; after gaining access to the network, threat actors first exfiltrate as much data as they can before then encrypting the drives.
By exfiltrating the victim’s data, as with any good business model, the attackers then have multiple paths to revenue. They can threaten to release a victim’s sensitive data publicly and still control the victim’s computers, keeping them from being productive.
Does BlackBerry Prevent DarkSide Ransomware?
Yes. The BlackBerry Threat Research team has tested all known variants and confirmed they were successfully prevented by the current version of BlackBerry® Protect. We prevented the execution of the files using our AI engine without any updates or Internet connectivity. In fact, many of the known variants were prevented with a version of BlackBerry Protect from 2015!

Why was Blackberry destroyed?
Because they were secure and would not allow their stuff to be compromised by the globalist, CCP systems.
