Nearly half of Israeli youths not optimistic, 33% thinking of emigrating
A new survey of young Israeli adults has found that nearly half of the population in the occupied territories is not optimistic about the future of the Israeli entity, while more than one-third of people are thinking about immigration to find jobs and improve their lives. The poll was conducted by the Israeli Fenima research center as part of an investigation to find a solution to reduce social fragmentation within the Israeli society. The research center described its findings, which were published by the Hebrew-language Israel Hayom daily newspaper on Sunday, as "worrying" and wrote that 33% of Israeli youths are considering immigration from the occupied lands. Also, 44% of them feel there is no future for the regime. Issues such as rising living costs, security situation and social divisions are among other reasons for young Israeli adults to mull over leaving the occupied territories.

Conservatives urge Texas AG Paxton, Gov. Abbott to declare southern border crisis an 'invasion'
For nearly a year, conservatives in Texas have been calling on state Attorney General Ken Paxton and Gov. Greg Abbott to declare the influx of people and drugs illegally entering Texas as an invasion. It's been a month since Republican state Rep. Matt Krause, chair of the Committee on General Investigating, requested Paxton to provide a legal opinion on the matter. He asked Paxton to determine if the federal government has failed to uphold its obligations to protect Texas from invasion under Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution and whether Texas has the sovereign power to defend itself from invasion. Responses usually take a minimum of 180 days. However, speculation continues over whether Paxton will issue an opinion before the May 24 runoff election after not receiving 50% of the vote in the March 1 primary election. Krause and others have told The Center Square the AG's office is working on the opinion. Paxton's office didn't respond to requests for comment.

'Never let a crisis go to waste': USAID ghoul Samantha Power opines that food shortages 'will lead farmers toward green energy'
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Chief Samantha Power claimed on This Week Sunday that food shortages will push farmers toward green energy. Power said food prices have increased 34% globally, prompting her agency to ask Congress for assistance in easing the food shortage crisis on a global scale. She said the agency is working with farmers across the globe to transition to "natural solutions" that are, according to her, in their best interest. "We're working with farmers to also increase their production so you actually have more supply brought on market. Fertilizer shortages are real now because Russia's a big exporter of fertilizer, and even though fertilizer is not sanctioned, less fertilizer is coming out of Russia," she said. "As a result, we're working with countries to think about natural solutions like manure and compost, and this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers to make eventually, anyway. So, never let a crisis go to...

Solomon Islands PM suggests Australia's reaction to China security deal is hysterical and hypocritical
The prime minister of Solomon Islands has accused the Australian government of hypocrisy over his country's security deal with China, saying the Aukus pact was far from transparent but he "did not become theatrical and hysterical". Manasseh Sogavare said Solomon Islands and other countries in the region "should have been consulted to ensure that this Aukus treaty is transparent since it will affect the Pacific family by allowing nuclear submarines in Pacific waters". The Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, hit back on Friday afternoon, suggesting that Sogavare had changed his view based on "other influences" and that there was a "remarkable similarity between those statements and those of the Chinese government".

US government shamelessly defends DHS 'Ministry of Truth'
Homeland Security chief says the task force is the exact opposite of George Orwell's infamous brainchild The newly unveiled 'Disinformation Governance Board', operating within the US Department of Homeland Security, has triggered a massive pushback, forcing DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas to make several appearances on national TV in an attempt to clarify how the unit will operate. Many critics, including top Republicans, have blasted the initiative as a crackdown on free speech, akin to a 'Ministry of Truth' taken from the pages of George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984.

True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht: 'Mules' went on routes trafficking ballots 'repeatedly, day after day' ahead of the 2020 election
Dirty voter rolls, the mass use of mail-in ballots, and privately-funded drop boxes "combined together to create an easy pass lane for fraud," as "mules" — or ballot traffickers — trafficked thousands of ballots, likely altering the outcome of the 2020 election, True the Vote president and founder Catherine Engelbrecht told Breitbart News Saturday. Engelbrecht, who leads the election integrity organization True the Vote, previewed the upcoming film by Dinesh D'Souza, 2,000 Mules, which blows the lid off of the "organized crime" that took place leading up to the 2020 election. The film used data obtained by True the Vote, as Engelbrecht noted that they had so many calls "that had a similar characteristic of concern around what was happening with mail ballots and drop boxes." Because of that, they focused on that issue. "We geo fenced or put a sort of a digital fence, if you will, around all the drop boxes, and then we bought a tremendous amount of cellphone data and cellphone data...

Head of EU state added to Ukraine's 'enemies list'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been added to the notorious online database pro-Kiev activists use to blacklist people they consider enemies of Ukraine. The Mirotvorets ('Peacemaker') website was created in 2014 as a public database of "pro-Russian terrorists, separatists, mercenaries, war criminals, and murderers." It contains links to social media accounts and personal information, such as home addresses, phones, and emails. Orban is listed as "an accomplice of Russian war criminals," and an "anti-Ukrainian propagandist." The website mentioned that the Hungarian PM refused to back an embargo on Russian oil and gas, among other things. He also broke ranks in the EU by refusing to send weapons to Ukraine or allow the transit of foreign weapons to Ukraine through Hungarian territory.

Illegal immigrant population grew by 1 million in Biden's first year, analysis finds
The illegal immigrant population in the United States increased by roughly 1 million during President Joe Biden 's first year in office, according to a new analysis. A study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform viewed by Fox News estimates that the population of illegal immigrants had jumped from 14.5 million in 2020 up to 15.5 million. The analysis from the conservative group found that the increased numbers cost taxpayers at least $143.1 billion, a $9.4 billion increase from 2020. FAIR, which favors strong border security, attributed the increased number of illegal immigrants to the following: an improving economy after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and Biden rolling back Trump-era immigration policies. The study said of the economy: "Businesses are once again hiring, and many unscrupulous employers are using this as an opportunity to turn to reliably cheap labor to undercut the market and make up for lost profits resulting from economic shutdowns stemming...

'The supply chain does not exist': Green energy industry is in for a rude awakening
Renewable energy prices have skyrocketed while new wind and solar installations have plummeted over the last year, even as governments continue to forge ahead with ambitious climate plans. While the U.S., European Union, other Western nations and international organizations have all pursued aggressive climate agendas that involve expanding renewable energy technology and infrastructure, prices have surged and profits have declined, according to industry reports and corporate earnings reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. President Joe Biden has made a series of climate pledges, including a commitment to decarbonize the grid by 2035 and achieve net-zero economy-wide emissions by 2050, while pushing a long list of anti-fossil fuel policies. Commodity markets tied to global renewable energy development have been roiled by inflation, supply chain issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and, more recently, Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Even as project demand has stayed high,...

Kirby said: "Today, I can announce that the United States has commenced training with the Ukrainian Armed Forces on key systems at U.S. military installations in Germany. Now, these efforts build on the initial artillery training that Ukraine's forces already have received elsewhere, and also includes training on the radar systems and armoured vehicles that have been recently announced as part of security assistance packages.

Are Russia-Israel relations facing a temporary challenge or definite deterioration?
Israel sees an existential threat in everything, because it is a state like no other; it cannot close its eyes at night and sleep soundly when the rest of the world is stormy. It was created after decades of a game between superpowers, and it maintains this balancing act today. This is very obvious during the war in Ukraine where, under pressure from the West, Israel is tending to favour the Ukrainians while hoping that Moscow understands the reasons why. However, relations between Russia and Israel are deteriorating very fast as Tel Aviv has been forced to choose which side it is on. Claiming that the occupation state could act as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine is unrealistic; the war in Ukraine is not merely a dispute between neighbours, but a confrontation between the creators of Israel — Western Europe and the US — on one hand, and Russia on the other. Israel, of course, is indebted for its creation and ongoing existence to the Western Bloc, and no matter how much it...

Ukraine is winning the battle on Twitter, but in the real world Kiev is losing the fight for Donbass
Western media coverage of the Ukraine conflict has been so hysterically one-sided, and divorced from reality, that it's probably only a matter of time before Iraq's erstwhile 'Comical Ali' is brought out of retirement to insist that there are no Russians advancing towards the Ukrainian army's front lines. Meanwhile, the actual fighting continues to result in a string of defeats for Kiev's battered forces, who have already lost control of two major cities, despite unprecedented support from the US and its allies. As American officials work with the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to craft a perception of Kiev's victory against the Russian military, Moscow is preparing to counter with a harsh dose of reality. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on the heels of a dramatic visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev where, together with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, he met with Zelensky, testified before Congress that the goal of the Ukrainians in fighting their...

Western media coverage of the Ukraine conflict has been so hysterically one-sided, and divorced from reality, that it's probably only a matter of time before Iraq's erstwhile 'Comical Ali' is brought out of retirement to insist that there are no Russians advancing towards the Ukrainian army's front lines. Meanwhile, the actual fighting continues to result in a string of defeats for Kiev's battered forces, who have already lost control of two major cities, despite unprecedented support from the US and its allies. As American officials work with the government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to craft a perception of Kiev's victory against the Russian military, Moscow is preparing to counter with a harsh dose of reality. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, on the heels of a dramatic visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev where, together with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, he met with Zelensky, testified before Congress that the goal of the Ukrainians in fighting their...

US pediatricians' group moves to abandon 'race-based' guidance
For years, pediatricians have followed flawed guidelines linking race to risks for urinary infections and newborn jaundice. In a new policy announced Monday, the American Academy of Pediatrics said it is putting all its guidance under the microscope to eliminate "race-based" medicine and resulting health disparities. A re-examination of AAP treatment recommendations that began before George Floyd's 2020 death and intensified after it has doctors concerned that Black youngsters have been undertreated and overlooked, said Dr. Joseph Wright, lead author of the new policy and chief health equity officer at the University of Maryland's medical system. The influential academy has begun purging outdated advice. It is committing to scrutinizing its "entire catalog," including guidelines, educational materials, textbooks and newsletter articles, Wright said.

Rare weather event: Taiwan's highest mountain gets snow in May
A rare May snowfall hit Taiwan's highest mountain Monday afternoon, caused by strong and very moist easterly winds sweeping through the island, according to the Central Weather Bureau (CWB). It was only the fifth time since 1990 that snow had fallen in May on Yushan, also known as Mt. Jade, following snowfalls there in 1995, 1997, 2000, and 2011. The latest snow has ever been recorded on Yushan in May was on May 31, 1955, the CWB said. The snow began to fall on the mountain at 1:30 p.m. and lasted until 2:10 p.m. Monday when it turned into rain, the CWB said, but it forecast more snow to come later in the day.

Girls just wanna have bombs
For decades feminists screamed from the rooftops about the need for women leaders. All the worlds problems would be solved overnight if there were just enough sensible and sensitive women in positions of real power. "There would be no more wars if women were in charge!" And here we are with women in power everywhere and closer to world war three and nuclear annihilation than we've been since the 1962 Cuban Missile crisis, and it's all coming down to the belligerent actions of two female Prime Ministers near Russia's border. The female leaders are all in their Schwab-made stables, fresh from their young global leaders' etiquette courses and the future global leaders' finishing school where they learned how to obey western Oligarchs with curtseys and bootlicking. New Zealand, Denmark, Estonia, Sweden, the unelected head of the European Union, and the clueless little lollipop of Finland, like a traveling band of 1950s doo-wop girls. They're now eager to perform. They're ready for...
