https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/shocking-videos-mexican-sailors-seen-clinging-broken-150/

Shocking videos have emerged from the moments after a Mexican Navy ship crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday night, showing at least a dozen sailors hanging from the broken 150-foot mast.

At least two people are dead, two are in critical condition, and 19 were injured.

The sailors were on the Cuauhtémoc’s mast as part of a traditional ceremonial greeting when entering a port. This practice, known as “manning the yards,” is practiced by sailors worldwide.

Multiple videos that zoomed in during and after the crash show sailors clinging to the broken mast. Continue…

The American Left and the Jihadists: An Unholy Alliance

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/american-left-jihadists-unholy-alliance/

In the West, particularly in the United States, two conflicting ideologies have formed an alliance of convenience: the liberal left and radical Islam. The irony, of course, is that countries governed by strict Islamic law would never tolerate many of the things liberals openly champion—such as abortion, same-sex marriage, gender ideology, drag queen story hours, or even the right to insult religion. In fact, the women leading liberal protests would not even be allowed to drive, speak publicly, travel, or work without a male family member’s permission or presence. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/fbi-confirms-fertility-clinic-bombing-palm-springs-was/

An additional four people were injured in the blast.

The suspect in the attack is 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus.

According to media reports, Bartkus identified as a pro-mortalist and believed that humans had never given consent to existing.

He reportedly left a 30-minute audio recording in which he explained his motives. Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/israel-takes-second-place-eurovision-song-contest-as/

Israel has finished in second place at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

Yuval Raphael of Israel impressed the judges and audience at the contest, held in Basel, Switzerland, earning the top spot in the public televote but ultimately falling behind Austria.

Although Israel landed 14th in the jury rankings among the 26 finalists, the performance was well-received by viewers across Europe.

The country received a full 12 points from only one national jury — Azerbaijan.

Raphael, 24, hailing from Ra’anana and a survivor of the October 7th Nova music festival attack, delivered a performance of her ballad “New Day Will Rise.” Continue…

Mile High Marxist Bernie Sanders Proves There Is No Climate Emergency

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/mile-high-marxist-bernie-sanders-proves-there-is/

Give the devil his due: Senator Bernie Sanders never misses an opportunity to remind Americans about our planet’s supposed peril. In a 2023 MSNBC op-ed, he whined: “The climate crisis is not just an environmental issue. It is a matter of justice, of health, of economics, and of national security.” According to Sanders, climate change is a moral and existential threat demanding sweeping government intervention and dramatic changes in personal behavior.

Except, of course, when it comes to how he lives his own life. Continue…

South Carolina Supreme Court Unanimously Upholds Law Banning Abortion at Point When Heartbeat Can Be Detected

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/south-carolina-supreme-court-unanimously-upholds-law-banning/

The South Carolina Supreme Court has unanimously determined that the state can continue banning abortion at the point when a fetal heartbeat can be detected.

The law, which the court upheld on Wednesday, bans the procedure at approximately six weeks of pregnancy.

Planned Parenthood had challenged the law in court, arguing that the law should not apply until nine weeks of pregnancy.

According to the law, abortions cannot be performed once an ultrasound can detect “cardiac activity, or the steady and repetitive rhythmic contraction of the fetal heart, within the gestational sac.”

The Associated Press reports, “The state argued that is the moment when an ultrasound detects cardiac activity. Planned Parenthood said the words after the ‘or’ mean the ban should only start after the major parts of the heart come together and ‘repetitive rhythmic contraction’ begins, which is often around nine weeks.”

The court ultimately determined that the law must be based on the intent of the general assembly, which was clearly to ban the practice at six weeks, not nine. Continue…

President Trump Names Archbishop Cordileone to New Religious Liberty Commission Advisory Board

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/05/president-trump-names-archbishop-cordileone-new-religious-liberty/

Following President Trump’s participation in the National Day of Prayer, the president signed a new executive order (EO) establishing the Religious Liberty Commission, designating Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick as chair and Dr. Ben Carson as vice chair.

The Religious Liberty Commission will be comprised of up to 14 presidentially appointed members from diverse sectors, alongside ex officio members like the Attorney General, tasked with producing a comprehensive report by July 4, 2026, examining the foundations, societal impact, and current threats to religious liberty, as well as strategies to enhance protections.

The commission will also advise the White House Faith Office and Domestic Policy Council, recommend executive or legislative actions, and collaborate internationally on religious freedom.

The commission’s creation is a stark departure from the posture of the Biden-Harris administration, which turned trampling religious liberties into a sport.

President Trump invited San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore J. Cordileone to serve on the Commission, and the Archbishop has accepted the offer.

Archbishop Cordileone serves on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life, and Youth as well as on its Committee for Canonical Affairs and Church Governance, and has been an outspoken advocate for a commitment to Church teachings. Continue…

Hamas Planned Oct. 7 To Prevent Israel-Saudi Normalization, Documents Confirm

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/hamas-planned-oct-7-prevent-israel-saudi-normalization-documents-confirm

Newly uncovered internal Hamas documents confirm a longtime theory explaining the motives behind the Oct.7, 2023 terror attack which kicked off the bloody and grinding Gaza war, which still shows no signs of abating and has resulted in unprecedented death and destruction in the Gaza Strip.

The documents, published by The Wall Street Journal, demonstrate that Hamas leaders had a specific aim of preventing a potential peace agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia based on the US-backed Abraham Accords. This was speculated about soon after the horrific attacks that also kicked off the hostage crisis.

This is according to minutes from a high-level meeting which cite now slain Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and which were reportedly discovered by Israeli forces in Gaza tunnels. Sinwar was quoted in the internal papers, which are dated Oct. 2, 2023 - as saying, "There is no doubt that the Saudi-Zionist normalization agreement is progressing significantly." Continue…

EU Establishment Fumes As "Far Right" Romanian Candidate Closes In On Presidential Win

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/establishment-seethes-far-right-romanian-candidate-closes-presidential-win

When EU backed officials in Romania fabricated the accusation that right leaning presidential candidate Calin Georgescu was only popular because of a Russian disinformation operation on social media, the most common assumption was that this was purely a political stunt to draw voters away from his campaign. Instead, the establishment surprised many around the world with Georgescu's arrest and eventual disqualification from the race.

To this day there is still no concrete evidence that Russia had any hand in the candidate's campaign or made any measurable effort to sway the election in his favor.

At bottom, Georgescu was the clear favorite to win exactly because he was a populist, nationalist and wanted to keep Romania out of the Ukraine conflict. This is what the Romanian people want. However, the qualities that endeared him to the public were also the qualities that made him a target for removal. The strategy has only resulted in even greater defiance by the voters and given a clear boost to George Simion, the conservative alternative.

Georgescu has thrown his support behind Simion, a self proclaimed fan of MAGA and a staunch opponent of Romanian involvement in Ukraine. Simion recently crushed the existing government coalition in the do-over elections, causing Romania's Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to resign. The final election, slated for this Sunday, will finally end the chaos of the uncertain election process. Continue…

US Space Chief Says China, Russia May Escalate Space Conflict

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/us-space-chief-says-china-russia-may-escalate-space-conflict

U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations Gen. B. Chance Saltzman said the United States’ potential adversaries Russia and China have demonstrated a “recklessness” and aggressiveness that show how much a space-related conflict could escalate, particularly through actions in the war in Ukraine.

“You see a tremendous use of space capabilities on the modern battlefield,” Saltzman said at the Politico Security Summit on May 15.

“Denying a country access to their space capabilities does create [a] military advantage.”

Common usage includes low-orbit interference, such as radio frequency satellite communications jamming, he said. Continue…

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban revealed after a meeting with the Defense Council that Ukraine is meddling in the ongoing Hungarian referendum over whether to support Ukraine’s EU membership plans.

He also accused the opposition of unprecedentedly colluding with them.

This coincided with Hungary reportedly downing a Ukrainian drone, which followed tit-for-tat diplomatic expulsions after Ukraine accused Hungary of spying on it and Hungary accused Ukraine of pushing hostile propaganda. Continue…

China Set To Become Top Nuclear Power Source By 2030

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/china-set-become-top-nuclear-power-source-2030

China has approved plans to build 10 new nuclear reactors for 200 billion yuan ($27.7 billion), positioning it to surpass the U.S. as the world’s largest nuclear power producer by 2030, according to Nikkei Asia.

The decision, made at a State Council meeting last month, includes eight Hualong One reactors—developed by state-owned firms based on U.S. and French designs—and two CAP1000 units, based on Westinghouse’s AP1000 model. The reactors will add about 12,000 megawatts of capacity.

Construction will take place along the coast in Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, with state-owned companies like China National Nuclear Corp., China General Nuclear Power Group, and China Huaneng Group operating the plants.

China paused new nuclear projects after Japan’s Fukushima disaster in 2011 but resumed approvals in 2019, accelerating to around 10 reactors per year since 2022. President Xi Jinping is promoting nuclear power to reduce air pollution, curb oil dependence—China imports about 70% of its crude—and meet climate goals. In 2020, Xi pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2060. Continue…

Russia Launches Biggest Drone Attack Since Start of Ukraine War, Killing At Least One

https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2025/05/18/russia-launches-biggest-drone-attack-since-start-of-ukraine-war/

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russia overnight into Sunday launched its most intense drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of its full-scale invasion in 2022, after the first direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv in years failed to yield a ceasefire.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spurned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s offer to meet face-to-face in Turkey after he himself proposed direct negotiations – although not at the presidential level – as an alternative to a 30-day ceasefire urged by Ukraine and its Western allies, including the U.S. Continue…

Portugal targets France in power link dispute after blackout – FT

https://www.rt.com/news/617787-portugal-pressure-france-ec-blackout/

Lisbon has reportedly asked the European Commission to pressure Paris over the stalled expansion of electricity supplies following the recent ten-hour outage

Portugal plans to ask the European Commission to pressure France over limited electricity supplies from the latter, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing Energy Minister Maria da Graca Carvalho. The move follows the April 28 blackout that left millions across Spain, Portugal, and parts of southern France without electricity for up to ten hours.

Portugal is reportedly blaming Paris for failing to complete and expand critical electricity interconnections with Spain – shortcomings that Lisbon argues exacerbated the blackout by restricting cross-border energy support. The power outage has been described as the largest in recent European history. Continue…

Poles will be electing their next head of state as incumbent Andrzej Duda’s second term expires

Around 29 million eligible voters will be choosing the successor to President Andrzej Duda from a field of 13 candidates. According to the latest opinion polls, three contenders have emerged as frontrunners. Continue…

FDA approved gene-edited pigs could find way to Canadian plates

https://www.westernstandard.news/agriculture/fda-approved-gene-edited-pigs-could-find-way-to-canadian-plates/64825

At least it isn’t vegan bacon.

But now the jury is out on whether genetically modified livestock are a panacea for food producers or an another example of factory farmed frankenfoods.

Decades after genetically modified plants became common on dinner tables, the US Food and Drug Administration has quietly approved the first gene-edited pigs for human consumption.

Starting on May 1, gene-edited pigs engineered to resist porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) have been aproved for sale and consumption.

Although they haven’t been approved in this country, Canada is widely expected to follow suit under agricultural trade agreements with the World Trade Orgnization. Continue…

Ottawa tested slogans to sell emissions cap ahead of federal vote

https://www.westernstandard.news/news/ottawa-tested-slogans-to-sell-emissions-cap-ahead-of-federal-vote/64733

The federal government tested a series of carefully crafted slogans in taxpayer-funded focus groups aimed at winning public support for a cap on oil and gas emissions, according to internal research by the Privy Council Office.

Blacklock's Reporter says Canadians responded most favourably to messages that framed energy companies as profitable businesses capable of spending on clean technology.

“Participants were presented with a series of statements outlining various reasons behind the federal government’s decision to cap and reduce emissions produced by the oil and gas sector,” stated the October 23 report, Continuous Qualitative Data Collection Of Canadians’ Views.

Participants were then asked to react to each statement and say whether they agreed with its reasoning. Continue…

BREAKING: Joe Biden diagnosed with prostate cancer

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-joe-biden-diagnosed-with-prostate-cancer

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones, according to a statement released Sunday by his personal office.

The update followed recent medical evaluations prompted by Biden’s worsening urinary symptoms. “Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said, according to CNN.

"Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden’s recent medical diagnosis. We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery," President Donald Trump posted. Continue…

Canada's top COVID bureaucrat blamed 'racism' for 'stressful' pandemic

https://www.rebelnews.com/top_covid_bureaucrat_blamed_racism_for_pandemic

Dr. Tam criticized 'armchair epidemiologists' during the pandemic, contradicting her assertion that diverse opinions are 'part of the scientific process.'

Canada's $324,000-a-year chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, objected to what she considered mockery disguised as public criticism during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tam described the pandemic as "extremely stressful" for public health officers, emphasizing the pressure they faced on the pace and extent of their recommendations.

As Canada's top COVID bureaucrat, Dr. Tam faced daily criticism regarding her appearance, race, accent, and advice, which she found challenging given the coronavirus's origins, according to Public Health Agency Access To Information notes.

At the time, Tam became a prominent figure through weekly televised briefings, clarifying that her role was advisory, not solely decision-making, and that public understanding of this distinction is helpful. “My leadership position isn’t one of power — in fact I have very little power — but one of support and influence in decision making.”

In April 2020, then-Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland likened her and other chief public health officers to "rock stars." That followed remarks from prime minister Justin Trudeau, who claimed Canada was “among the best-prepared countries in the world."

Trudeau suggested his government was “grounded in science and data” and attributed Ottawa's COVID-19 management to following the advice of public health offices, which encouraged widespread vaccination “through every means we could.” Continue…
