RFK Jr. Announces More Than $700 Million To Target Mental Illness, Homelessness

The Trump administration is going to spent more than $700 million on programs aimed at reducing drug addiction, homelessness, and mental illness, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on June 17.

The largest portion of the new funding, nearly $239 million, is going to a lifeline that people who are suicidal can call. Some $223 million is going to community behavioral health clinics. Nearly $100 million is being offered to communities that apply to the Safety Through Recovery, Engagement, and Evidence-based Treatment and Support (STREETS) Program, which provides services for homeless people who are addicted to drugs or have serious mental illness.

The other funds are going to programs targeting the prevention of, treatment for, and recovery from drugs, or programs that support mentally ill people.

"These investments will help move people from the streets into treatment and recovery, strengthen families, save lives, and make communities safer," Kennedy said in a statement.

The funding follows an executive order from President Donald Trump that directed officials to work on shifting homeless people into institutions to help address crime and disorder in the nation's cities, and another order that says the disease of addiction must be stopped through an emphasis on treatment.

"My Administration will drive a new national response to the disease of addiction that will create stronger coordination across government, the healthcare sector, faith communities, and the private sector in order to save lives, restore families, strengthen our communities, and build the Great American Recovery," Trump said in the latter order.

Kennedy on Wednesday visited the Easterseals Michigan-Clinton Township Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, part of the Easterseals network of facilities that assist people with disabilities, their families and caregivers, and veterans.

"Our goal is to provide comprehensive outpatient mental health and substance use services that are person-centered, trauma-informed and evidence-based," the clinic's website states.

Kennedy said that homelessness is "one of the greatest problems that we have now, health problems in this country" and that it is interconnected with the crisis of drug addiction, which has caused more than 1 million deaths since 2000.

Ukraine launches almost 200 drones at Moscow

Blazes have been reported in the Russian capital and more than a dozen people wounded in the surrounding region, in one of Kiev’s largest aerial attacks

At least 17 people have been wounded after the Ukrainian military launched one of its largest drone raids against Moscow, Russian officials have said.

Air defenses shot down at least 194 UAVs on the approach to the Russian capital overnight, Mayor Sergey Sobyanin wrote in a Telegram post on Thursday morning.

Some drones made it through and caused blazes, with witnesses reporting large plumes of thick black smoke in several areas in and outside the city.

Several drones reached the Moscow Oil Refinery in the southeastern Kapotnya district of the city, Sobyanin said. Firefighters have been deployed to the site.

Debris from a downed UAV delivered minor damage to a building at the Sadovod shopping center in southeastern Moscow, according to the mayor.

Two children among civilians wounded in Moscow Region

Nine people, including a three-year-old child, suffered shrapnel wounds and other injuries in the town of Kotelniki east of the capital as a result of the Ukrainian drone raid, Moscow Region Governor Andrey Vorobyev said on Telegram.

In Mic Drop at Press Briefing, Vance Blasts Israeli Officials – “Bibi’s Cabinet Has Come Out and Attacked the Deal – If I Was in the Cabinet I Might Not Be Attacking the Only Powerful Ally That I Have”

“You don’t have to knock down an apartment house every time you’re looking for somebody because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they’re not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you,” Trump said, condemning Netanyahu’s attacks in Beirut, Lebanon.

“I didn’t like where two hours before we’re signing the agreement that there was an attack in Lebanon, in Beirut. It wasn’t like in the southern side, and you know, it was in Beirut. I did not like that. I let him know that I didn’t like it, not at all.”

Vance: Well, I don't want to get into hypotheticals that could torpedo the deal because I think the president's expectation is that all of our friends, the Israelis, the Arabs in the region, we're going to work together and actually see this deal to completion. Now, I saw the Axios report that Netanyahu is fuming. That's not reflective of the conversations that I've had with him, but maybe he's saying something to somebody else that he's not saying to me.

What I will say, and this does bother me, is that you've seen people within Bibi’s cabinet who have come out and attacked the deal, and in some ways very personally attacked the President of the United States, and I guess my message to them would be twofold. Number one: Donald J. Trump is the only head of state in the entire world who is sympathetic to the nation of Israel at this moment in time, and he happens to be the head of state of the world's superpower. If I was in the cabinet of the Israeli government, I might not be attacking the only powerful ally that I have anywhere left in the entire world.

And the second message I would give to some of those cabinet members: Bibi, to his credit, has not gone down this path, but to some of these cabinet members in Israel who are attacking the present United States, the other thing that I would say is that over the last three months, two thirds of the defensive weapons that have protected your homeland have been built by American hands and paid for by American tax dollars. The problem for Israel is not Donald J. Trump, and anybody in Israel who thinks their biggest problem is the President of the United States needs to wake up and smell the reality of the situation that country is in.

The rape gang crisis: How the UK betrayed its own people

Time and again there have been warnings that ignoring the hard realities of mass immigration would one day bring tragedy

The Rotherham rape gang scandal exposed a profound civilizational betrayal at the heart of modern Britain: a once-cohesive nation, shaped by centuries of shared history and identity, is now undermined by universalist delusions and forced to confront harsh tribal realities, incompatible loyalties, and rapid demographic transformation.

Between the late 1980s and 2013, approximately 1,400 White British girls – many as young as 11, from working-class families or care homes – were systematically groomed, gang-raped, trafficked, and subjected to unimaginable brutality in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

The perpetrators were overwhelmingly men of Pakistani Muslim heritage operating in tightly organized grooming gangs. They preyed on vulnerable native girls, using alcohol, drugs, and false promises of affection to lure them in, before passing them around for repeated sexual violence that frequently involved extreme physical cruelty. The victims suffered pregnancies, forced abortions, miscarriages, and lifelong STDs. To the abusers, these girls were nothing more than “easy meat.”

This was not an isolated outbreak of crime, but a damning case of institutional complicity. The 2014 Jay Report, concluding an independent inquiry bled by Professor Alexis Jay, made clear that police and social services possessed extensive evidence of ethnic patterns and widespread abuse, yet they repeatedly refused to intervene. Officers dismissed traumatized schoolgirls as “prostitutes” exercising “bad lifestyle choices,” while senior officials prioritized “community relations” and suppressed reports that highlighted organized South Asian grooming networks, all to avoid accusations of racism. Whistleblowers were intimidated, marginalized, or silenced. In the end, political correctness and bureaucratic self-preservation mattered more than the safety of native children.

The same disturbing pattern repeated across Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, and dozens of other towns. The ‘Rape Gang Report’, published on Tuesday by Restore Britain MP Rupert Lowe, estimates that at least 250,000 mainly White British girls had been victimized nationwide since the 1950s. Time and again, authorities across the country turned a blind eye, paralyzed by their fear of offending immigrant communities.

A legitimate state has a primary duty: to protect its own people – its native population, its culture, and above all its children – not to appease imported interests or offer up its daughters on the altar of diversity. By consciously abandoning British girls to their fate, the British state forfeited its moral authority and democratic legitimacy.

Rotherham stands as a damning indictment of Britain’s postwar multicultural experiment. For decades, elites imposed mass immigration from culturally incompatible societies, championed aggressive pluralism, and treated traditional British identity with open hostility. The result has been the transformation of a historic nation into a rootless administrative zone, struggling to manage fractious ethnic enclaves where the concerns of the indigenous majority are routinely subordinated to minority demands and a globalist ideology. This same corrosive process is now visible across much of Western Europe.

This failure brings to mind the grave warnings of several key thinkers. Carl Schmitt, the German jurist and political theorist, argued in The Concept of the Political (1932) that politics fundamentally concerns the distinction between “friend” and “enemy.” A sovereign community must recognize existential threats to its way of life and act decisively to protect its own people through clear distinctions based on loyalty and survival. Oswald Spengler, in his monumental The Decline of the West (1918–1922), described how civilizations slide into irreversible decay once their elites become deracinated and cosmopolitan, severing their organic ties to their own traditions, culture, and people.

Keir Starmer was the Director of Public Prosecutions. It has been reported that while he was there, 13,000 suspected rape gang members and pedophiles were left off with warning letters. One survivor testified, we raised concerns at the time because we all went to the sexual health clinic. So there are records from that. Even the Chief Inspector of Police was aware. Another said on one occasion, a police officer returned a victim named Fiona to the house where the abuse was occurring and told the men there to have fun with her. The accounts are harrowing. One woman described watching a girl being stabbed, beaten, and set on fire. Another account described a child just 5 or 6 years old tied up and abused, and the report includes allegations of some victims branded with the initial M for Muhammad. It’s sickening, incomprehensible, and preventable.

Millionaire Tech Firm CEO Killed After Private Jet Crashes Onto Texas Highway in Fiery Wreck

The news was first reported by the Austin American-Statesman. Tech leaders and politicians, including U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, Congressman Lloyd Doggett and Congressman John Carter, expressed condolences in posts on social media.

“Josh has been one of the most significant figures driving innovation and entrepreneurship across America,” Cruz said. “In Texas, he made our state a global leader. His impact was incalculable.”

Six people were inside the plane, said investigator Jose Baeza with LPD at a news conference posted online. First responders took them out of the aircraft, but Baer did not survive.

The five others on the plane, as well as the driver of the car that was hit on the highway, were taken to local hospitals and are in stable condition, said Gilberto Sanchez, the director of Laredo International Airport.

Five officers were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation and the plane crash caused road closures in the area.

“LRD commends the swift response of the Laredo Police Department, Laredo Fire Department, area first responders, and the bystanders who acted without hesitation to assist those aboard the aircraft,” Sanchez wrote in an email to KUT News. “Their efforts under extremely hazardous conditions were instrumental in the rescue of five lives. “

Undersea cable connecting Egypt and Syria has been cut, state-owned telecom operator says — Damascus blames 'systematic sabotage campaign' as cause of damage

Syrian users would have to deal with slow internet speeds as the undersea cable is being repaired.

Syrian Telecommunications Company (SyTC), the state-owned enterprise that operates the country’s internet infrastructure, said that an undersea cable connecting Egypt and Syria was cut and that it would take time before the “full resumption of services” could take place. While the country hasn’t named any possible culprit, Arab News reports that the Damascus government has blamed a “systematic sabotage campaign” as the cause of damage. It’s now routing data through another undersea cable that connects to Cyprus and through a 1 Tbps overland cable that goes through Turkey. Despite that, the incident is still affecting internet users across Syria.

Undersea cables are crucial infrastructure that allow nations to connect to the rest of the world. Aside from letting you browse the internet and watch cute cat videos, it’s also crucial for trade and market, with billions of dollars’ worth of transactions flowing through these cables at any given time. More importantly, these cables are also used by governments to communicate with their allies and other countries, making them as crucial as sea lines of communications.

But despite their importance, this infrastructure is quite vulnerable — they often only sit on the seabed or, at best, sit 1.5 to 5 feet in the mud. This means that they could easily be damaged, both intentionally or accidentally, by items being dragged on the sea floor, like a trawler net or anchor. It’s also difficult to guard these cables, as they span long distances (with the total deployed undersea cable length estimated to be greater than 32 times the Earth’s circumference at the equator), and no country on Earth has enough resources to patrol every mile of these cables.

Because of this, undersea cables are often seen as soft targets and are frequently the victims of “gray-zone warfare.” We’ve seen several incidents of undersea cables being cut by ships that are suspected of being part of Russia’s shadow fleet, with Finland experiencing several incidents in the Baltic Sea in just two years. The Middle East has also seen its fair share of cable disruptions, especially in the Red Sea, which serves as a bottleneck for connections between Europe and Asia. Taiwan has also increased its defensive patrols around 24 undersea cables, especially as nearly a hundred blacklisted China-linked boats were seen lurking around the island’s infrastructure.

While Syria said that the damage to its undersea cable was part of a “systematic sabotage campaign,” it did not point the blame to a specific state or non-state actor. However, its location between Europe and the Middle East makes it a crucial player for the various regional and global powers with interests in the region. Furthermore, the country also plays host to several Russian bases, allowing it to have access to the Mediterranean Sea.

Warning all weebs: Kaspersky says hackers are distributing malware via anime girl wallpapers on Steam Workshop's Wallpaper Engine

When it comes to desktop wallpaper, I often go with an illustration by Finnish artist Heikala. Making your own wallpaper, not unlike conjuring the visual arts, is a skill. As such, it's no wonder that many go looking for pre-made backdrops on Steam Workshop—though cybersecurity firm and anti-virus creator Kaspersky warns this has become yet one more avenue to be leveraged by bad actors.

Security researchers have found that malware is being pushed out in the guise of packages for animated desktop wallpapers. A Kaspersky press release claims that multiple infected Workshop wallpapers were downloaded thousands of times via Wallpaper Engine on Steam.

Wallpaper Engine offers a number of formats, including animated and interactive desktop scenes. Kaspersky adds, "The application-based wallpaper feature allows executable programs to run directly on a user's Windows computer, allowing attackers to distribute malicious software under the guise of legitimate content."

As for how the attackers snuck in their malware alongside the weeaboo wallpapers, Kaspersky highlights two different methods. One route involves bundling malicious executables inside the wallpaper package, whereas another sees bad actors hide "malware inside password-protected archives, with passwords embedded in archive names or configuration files." Once installed, the application-based wallpaper would automatically trigger the malicious payload inside.

"For example, one of the malicious wallpaper samples discovered in December 2025 appeared to function legitimately at first, launching an embedded desktop game without any visible signs of compromise," Kaspersky elaborates, "In the background, however, the wallpaper deployed the DarkKomet backdoor and installed a modified library designed to target Steam users: it harvested account information and hijacked active Steam sessions."

Steam users based in China and Russia appear to have been the primary targets of the malware distribution campaign, though folks living in Singapore, Hong Kong, Germany, Vietnam, India and Canada have also been affected. As far as Kaspersky's security researchers can tell, the campaign is less of a coordinated effort and appears to be the work of "multiple independent threat actors." Be safe out there, my fellow weebs.

Klaus Schwab’s “intelligent age”: AI will replace human cognitive abilities

The intelligent age is replacing our cognitive capabilities with AI, and universities should prioritise teaching students how to capably use technology over teaching actual knowledge, according to World Economic Forum (“WEF”) founder Klaus Schwab.

Livestreaming today [29 May] at the University of Johannesburg in South Africa, Schwab spoke at length about what he calls ‘the intelligent age” and what it means for jobs, students and humanity.

Comparing previous industrial revolutions to the so-called intelligent age, the grand architect of the Great Reset agenda said that our thinking abilities were now being delegated to artificial intelligence.

“What is the Intelligent Age doing? It is replacing our cognitive capabilities by algorithm, or by what we call our artificial intelligence”—Klaus Schwab, The Intelligent Age and the Responsibility of African Leadership, May 2026

THE ROTHSCHILDS' PLAN TO CONQUER AMERICA FOR THE BANKERS

Count Cherep-Spiridovitch, a tsarist general who battled the Bolsheviks in the Russian Revolution, published a book in 1926 entitled The Secret World Government, which shows how the Rothschilds' plan for world tyranny y. He cites an interview with German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1876, in which Bismarck explained that the Rothschilds, who already controlled Europe, were afraid, in the middle of the 19th century, that the United States would become independent of them if it remained one nation. The plan, therefore, was to divide the United States between England (controlled by Lionel Rothschild) and France (controlled by James Rothschild). France was to take over the South while British Canada annexed the defeated North. As a preparatory move, in 1863, France and Spain invaded Mexico with 30,000 troops. Britain, France and other European powers were ready to snuff out the young republic but were deterred by Russia, the only European nation not in the Rothschilds thrall. Tsar Alexander II sent his fleets to New York and San Francisco and declared that an attack on the United States was an attack on Russia. Meanwhile the U.S. Congress, stimulated by Lincoln, created "greenback" dollars to finance the war and escape indebtedness to the foreign financiers. "They [the Rothschilds) understood at once that the United States would escape their grip," Bismarck said. "The death of Lincoln was resolved upon. Nothing (was) easier than to find a fanatic to strike." Cherep-Spiridovitch concludes: "According to Bismarck the awful Civil War in America was fomented by a Jewish conspiracy, and Abraham Lincoln was killed by the same Hidden Hand that killed six Romanov tsars, 10 kings and scores of ministers only to more easily bleed their nations."
