IRAN - In the midst of the Hamas-Israel conflict - while the world's attention is fixed on the war Iran and Hamas began - Iran's ruling mullahs have seized the opportunity to advance their nuclear program. By backing, arming and training Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis, Iran launched a proxy war against Israel, leveraging the conflict in part to divert attention from its nuclear ambitions. The calculated move not only serves Iran's immediate interests in destabilizing its adversaries - the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain and most of all the United States, which it would like to see out of the region, so Iran could presumably have the Middle East all to itself - the diversion of the Gaza war also aligns with its goal of eradicating Israel.

ISRAEL - Israel launched fresh overnight airstrikes on the Southern Gazan city of Rafah early today killing at least 27 people - while also pounding Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. The deadly raids came just hours after the Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas urgently called on the United States to stop Israel from attacking Rafah, warning it was now the only country in the world which could prevent the “crime”. But Israel carried out yesterday’s deadly aerial assault despite the plea.

USA - And there it is: Campus Protester Says ‘We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the USA’. In case you were wondering what all these campus protests are really all about, this should answer any remaining questions. During an anti-Israel campus protest at George Washington University this weekend, a speaker said ‘We must have a revolution so we can have a socialist reconstruction of the United States of America.’ That’s the quiet part out loud right there. Do you think this is what the founders of George Washington University had in mind for their school? This is Occupy Wall Street all over again, they’re just using the conflict in the Middle East as a cover cause.

NIGER - The United States will pull the majority of its troops from Chad and Niger as it works to restore key agreements governing what role there might be there for the American military and its counterterrorism operations, the Pentagon said Thursday. Both African countries have been integral to the US military’s efforts to counter violent extremist organizations across the Sahel region, but Niger’s ruling junta ended an agreement last month that allows US troops to operate in the West African country. In recent days, neighboring Chad also has questioned whether an existing agreement covered the US troops operating there.

HUNGARY - CPAC Hungary (Conservative Political Action Conference) was held this weekend in Budapest, Hungary. The conference was attended by conservatives from throughout the continent and America. The unexpected highlight of the weekend conference may have been the riveting speech by the beautiful Eva Vlaardingerbroek. Eva did not hold back in her defense of Christian Europe and the current assault by the globalist left to destroy our civilization.

UK - Britain's towns and villages are being terrorised by sling-shot wielding children who are filming themselves abusing animals to post on social media. Residents say they are seeing 'more and more' anti-social behaviour recently and some believe it is due to a new social media trend. Locals in Kent believe the rise in catapult-related incidents are related to a trend of young people filming themselves firing ball bearings at animals and posting it online. Pensioners say they are too scared to go for walks alone, and animals ranging from cats to swans have been brutally injured.

USA - We often hear from politicians that things like raw milk, guns, the unvaccinated and TikTok need to be banned in order to save We the People from harm, but then why do all of these same people support Big Pharma, the actual leading killer of Americans by a long shot? Prescription drugs are now the leading cause of death in the United States today, surpassing even heart disease and cancer. And within that category, psychiatric drugs specifically take third place as the top killer. Back in 1998, it was rare for the average person to take pharmaceutical drugs of any kind. Today, pharmaceutical drug usage is so common that all newborns, as of 2019, are now expected to take prescription drugs for roughly half their lives.

USA - What comes to mind when you think of the top causes of death in the US? Many people’s thoughts immediately turn to killers like heart disease and cancer, but it turns out that the number-four spot actually goes to abortions carried out by Planned Parenthood.

UK - The NHS is to crack down on transgender ideology in hospitals, with terms like “chestfeeding” set to be banned. Victoria Atkins, the Health Secretary, will this week announce a series of changes to the NHS constitution which sets out patients’ rights. Referring to “people who have ovaries” rather than “women” will also be prohibited under plans to ensure hospitals use clear language based on biological sex. The new constitution will ban transgender women from being treated on single-sex female hospital wards to ensure women and girls receive “privacy and protection” in hospitals. Patients will also be given the right to request that intimate care is carried out by someone of the same biological sex.

USA - In a bizarre twist that seems straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie, US residents can now legally purchase a flame-throwing robot dog named Thermonator for just under $10,000. AutoEvolution reports that Ohio-based Throwflame, the oldest flamethrower manufacturer in the United States, has introduced Thermonator, a robot dog equipped with a flamethrower capable of shooting flames up to 30 feet. The company, known for its unique products, is now offering the Thermonator for sale in all states except Maryland and California, where flamethrowers are restricted.The introduction of the Thermonator has sparked a debate about the ethical implications of making such a potentially dangerous device available to the public. While some argue that it has legitimate uses in certain industries, others worry about the consequences of putting a flame-throwing robot dog in the wrong hands.

UK - London plans to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2030, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says. The UK is set to embark on the “biggest strengthening” of its national defense “in a generation” and plans to gradually increase defense spending to £87 billion (around $108 billion) annually by 2030, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced. Sunak made the remarks on Tuesday at a joint press conference with NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg while on a visit to Poland.

USA - Which major city will completely collapse first – Los Angeles, Chicago or New York City? In 2024, virtually all major US cities have certain things in common. First of all, if you visit the downtown area of one of our major cities you are likely to see garbage, human excrement and graffiti all over the place. Some of our core urban areas literally look like they belong in a third world country. Most of our politicians don’t seem too concerned about doing anything to clean up all the filth, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that rat populations are absolutely exploding all over the country. In some of our largest cities, the total rat population is numbered in the millions.

RUSSIA - The recent rapprochement between Russia and North Korea could embolden Pyongyang to take a more risky approach in the global arena, a senior US diplomat has warned. Deputy Assistant Secretary Jung Pak, who serves as the State Department’s senior official for North Korea, told Bloomberg on Monday that Moscow’s “complete embrace” of North Korea could mean that the country would be more inclined to threaten its southern neighbor, export weapons abroad, and defy Washington’s calls to return to denuclearization talks. According to the US official, Pyongyang has reaped numerous benefits from this cooperation, including economic assistance and high-profile meetings with Russian officials.

USA - President Biden on Wednesday signed a $95 billion foreign military aid bill into law and claimed the legislation, which funds the proxy war in Ukraine and Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza, is good for “world peace.” “It’s a good day for America, it’s a good day for Europe, and it’s a good day for world peace, for real. This is consequential,” Biden said. The legislation breezed through the Senate on Tuesday, passing in a vote of 79-19. It was passed on Saturday as four separate bills in the House, where it also received strong bipartisan support. Biden thanked Republican leaders for supporting the legislation. “I want to thank everyone in Congress who made it possible, especially the bipartisan leadership: Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson; Leader Jeffries; Leaders Schumer and McConnell. They don’t always agree, but when it matters most, they stepped up and did the right thing,” he said.

USA - What would you do if the power grid where you live went down and there was no electricity for an extended period of time? You might want to think about that, because experts are warning that it is just a matter of time before cyberattacks successfully cripple our power grids.
