State Farm Will No Longer Accept New Applications for California Property Insurance Due to Wildfires, Inflation, Historic Construction Costs
State Farm will no longer accept new applications in California for property insurance due to wildfires, inflation and historic construction costs.
Wildfires = Poor forest management thanks to Democrat policies.
Inflation = Thanks to trillions in spending by Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress.

Former Israeli general implores U.S. to lead efforts to stop Chinese-Russia-Iran alliance
"Israel, at the end of the day, if needed, will defend itself by itself," said Amir Avivi, now chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum.
Retired Israeli Gen. Amir Avivi says the United States must take a leading role in crafting an anti-Iranian coalition to prevent the consolidation of a Chinese-Russian bloc with Tehran that would destabilize the Middle East.
"We have seen a huge change in the last year,"Â Avivi, now chairman of the Israel Defense and Security Forum, told the Just the News, No Noise television show broadcast Friday from the National Religious Broadcasters Conference in Orlando, Fla.Â
"We're seeing an emergence of a Russian-Chinese-Iranian bloc in the Middle East, and they are feeling that the West is not willing to fight."
Concerns about U.S. adversaries strengthening ties have grown under the Biden administration.
In March, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released its Annual Threat Assessment that pointed to a "complex and pivotal international security environment" facing Washington.

3.5 million Ukrainians entered Russia since Februa.ry 2022 – official
Efforts to process the refugee influx have coincided with heightened security measures, the Russian Border Guard chief has said
More than 3.5 million Ukrainian citizens have crossed into Russia since Moscow launched its military operation more than a year ago, Vladimir Kulishov, the head of Border Guard Service, said on Saturday.
Speaking to TASS news agency, Kulishov noted that “due to the aggravated humanitarian situation in the area of hostilities” Russian authorities have taken a number of steps to facilitate entry for millions of Ukrainians. The official did not clarify whether the figure represents the number of Ukrainians who have remained in Russia, or whether some of them later left the country.
Kulishov said the conflict has resulted in an “escalation of military threats” to the nation’s border, stemming from Kiev’s attempts to “stage provocative acts” and send sabotage and reconnaissance forces into Russia. Earlier this month, a Ukrainian raid in the Belgorod Region, near the Ukrainian border, left one civilian dead and several others injured.
To stave off any such incidents in the future, Russian authorities have ramped up security measures in the border area, including creating defense fortifications, Kulishov explained.

Aside from Russia, Ukrainians have also fled to other European countries, with a total of four million refugees currently under various protection schemes in the EU, according to Eurostat.
