🇮🇱🇱🇧Israel's northern shock: Hezbollah exposes the limits of Israel's 'Arrows of the North' campaign in Lebanon
From the Israeli side, the 2026 confrontation in south Lebanon tells a story of its own.
Military censorship kept much of the home front under control, but it could not contain the recriminations that followed a string of failures on the northern front.
The shock at Hezbollah's performance did not stay with military correspondents, security commentators, or analysts close to the army.
It reached Northern Command itself.

Unanimous Supreme Court ruling: Freight brokers can be sued for neligently hiring illegal alien and unqualified foreign drivers
In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court just ruled that freight brokers can be held personally liable for negligently hiring dangerous trucking companies, including those flooding our highways with illegal aliens and unqualified foreign drivers who can't even speak English, let alone follow CDL regulations! Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered the opinion in Montgomery v.
Caribe Transport II, LLC, confirming that federal law does NOT shield these greedy middleman brokers from state negligence lawsuits.
The case stems from a horrific 2017 crash in Illinois where trucker Shawn Montgomery lost part of his leg after being smashed by a carrier hired by freight giant C.H. Robinson.

Americans are waiting with bated breath for the next wave of UFO files after officials promised the release will be 'very soon.' Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced Monday on X that the materials are currently 'actively being processed' for publication.
While details about the imminent disclosure dump remain secret, investigative journalist Jeremy Corbell told the Daily Mail it could include 46 classified UFO videos requested by lawmakers earlier this year.
'There is something much bigger coming,' he said.
Corbell claimed he personally provided officials with access to the videos via what he described as classified 'intel links' linked to hidden government servers, after unknown sources leaked the clips to him.

'Multipolar world order' REALLY means
The world is changing.
The once dominant imperial power of the United States is faltering, hollowed out by corruption, over-extended by hubris, eaten away by the cancers of hatred, nationalism and greed.
Even according to its own propaganda outlets, America has "become the villain", is "Officially an Empire in Decline", and we are witnessing its "final act". And, as we await the titan's inevitable fall, the world is considering the future.
Everyone is talking about the "multipolar world order" just over the horizon.

🇷🇺Forcing Russia's hand as Baltic states escalate war
The shooting down of a Ukrainian drone by a NATO warplane over Estonia this week shows how close the proxy war with Russia is to a European-wide escalation.
NATO and the EU leadership are pushing the Baltic states to escalate the war with Russia.
Maybe it's time for Moscow to preempt as the best way to avoid all-out war.
It was the first reported case of a NATO fighter jet intercepting a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur announced: "We decided that we needed to take it down... it was meant to hit Russian targets." His remarks betray a nervousness among the Baltic states about where their support for Ukraine is leading them after Russia warned that it is ready to deliver on threats of retaliation for allowing Ukraine to use their airspace to launch strikes.

Border czar Homan: Sanctuary jurisdictions must comply or face more ICE boots on the ground
Sanctuary jurisdictions in the United States will see more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel on the ground if they do not allow local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE officers, border czar Tom Homan said in a May 15 interview with the Daily Signal.
In the interview, Homan was specifically asked about New York.
In January, the state's governor, Kathy Hochul, proposed the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act, which bars state and local law enforcement agencies from signing or maintaining any Section 287(g) agreements with ICE. Such agreements authorize ICE to delegate certain immigration functions to local and state officers under the agency's oversight.
Local and state officers can detain suspected illegal immigrants under the deal.

Multiple states begin removing illegal immigrants from subsidized healthcare
The political left often betrays their true agenda in the legislation they choose to oppose.
The SAVE Act, for example, would require proof of citizenship to vote in US elections; a law which the majority of countries around the world enforce.
It's widely supported by around 80% of the public, yet, Democrats stubbornly refuse to pass it.
Why?

A Comey Cake? Former prosecutor accused of stealing Smith Report files and hiding them as cake recipes
Former Justice Department prosecutor Carmen Mercedes Lineberger has been indicted for allegedly removing confidential Justice Department material and then concealing her efforts.
Lineberger is accused of secretly transferring Jack Smith's final report and hiding the material under files labeled "chocolate cake recipe" and "bundt cake recipe." There has not been a greater recipe for disaster since aides tried to fit all of Biden's candles on a cake.
The case is particularly interesting because there was another person who was accused of a secret removal of Justice Department material who was not prosecuted: former FBI Director James Comey.
Linebarger, 62, of Port St.

Economics: The sociological foundation of civilization
People often wonder about the origins of the civil world.
Few, if any, have ever reached conclusions.
Civilization begins in the imagination of gifted men.
To make progress individuals must imagine the relationship between the physical world, the timing of events, and the control/influence they have of the world around them.

Major Italian volcano speeds toward transition, major eruption could be on the way: 'The system is likely to reach a breaking point'
Campi Flegrei, a volcanic caldera west of Naples, is speeding toward a transition within the next decade, a new study suggests, but researchers can't yet say whether that transition will be an eruption or some other change in the volcano's internal plumbing.
The caldera, also known as the Phlegraean Fields, is home to about 500,000 people who would be at risk in the event of an eruption.
The caldera stretches about 9 miles (15 kilometers) in diameter and formed in a massive eruption 40,000 years ago.
Other, smaller eruptions have happened since, including an explosive one in 1528 that built Monte Nuovo, a 433-foot (132 meters) cinder cone.

🇦🇷🇮🇱Flight to Argentina: How significant is it for Israel's LatAm outreach?
Experts say Israel is using the new flight to Buenos Aires as a geopolitical tool to cement its footprint in Latin America.
Israel and Argentina have launched a direct flight starting in November as the two countries boost their ties under Argentina's far-right President Javier Milei and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The twice-a-week flight comes as Israel is aggressively pushing to cement its geopolitical footprint in Latin America amid its growing international isolation and its entrenched image as an occupying power.
On May 7, Israel's national carrier, El Al, opened bookings for a direct flight between Tel Aviv and Buenos Aires covering a distance of 12,000 kilometres (7,460 miles) - the longest route in the airline's history.

🇫🇷🇮🇷Reactions of Tehran and the approach of France in the war against Iran
Post-2022 geopolitical developments and escalating tensions in the Persian Gulf have significantly strained relations between Iran and France, raising questions about the future of diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
After the June 2025 military strike against Iran, France did not condemn it, and the subsequent triggering of the snapback mechanism caused relations between the two countries to reach a state of deadlock.
Over different periods, in addition to repeating accusations and allegations against Iran, Paris has also benefited from political, legal, and even economic pressure. (a) The meeting between Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian and French President Emmanuel Macron on the sidelines of the 2025 United Nations General Assembly constituted a significant milestone.

Inside the Israeli coup against Thomas Massie
Thomas Massie's defeat was a coup by the Israel lobby.
Recently, the anti-war libertarian Kentucky representative Thomas Massie was defeated by Ed Gallrein, a Neo-con who supports every Israeli/American war from the Gaza genocide to the war in Iran.
This election result was in no way the result of a clean and fair election, but the result of a coordinated coup from the pro-Israel lobby, which poured millions of dollars into the race to ensure that Massie be replaced.
Last year, after Massie first spoke out against the Israeli/American bombing of Iran in June of 2025, a super PAC called "Kentucky MAGA" was created in an attempt to unseat Thomas Massie.

Small UK town forced to form 'vigilante' security team to protect women and kids from migrants
Government plopped hundreds of them in former army barracks.
Residents of a quiet East Sussex town have been left with no choice but to patrol their own streets after the leftist Labour government dumped hundreds of unvetted male migrants into a former army camp on their doorstep.
Crowborough, a small community of around 20,000 people, is now home to a volunteer security force called Crowborough Aware.
With 81 vetted locals stepping up, the group is conducting regular patrols to deter trouble and keep women and children safe.

Land grab: The billionaires' club at the center of America's public lands fight
A controversial land swap orchestrated by the mega rich could be 'a harbinger of what's to come' for public lands under Trump.
At the end of a dirt road along the northeastern edge of Montana's Crazy Mountains, a simple sign warns visitors they are now entering private property.
For fifth-generation Montanan Brad Wilson, the notice marks a defeat with implications far beyond the Crazies.
"The fate of our public lands and our rights are in jeopardy right now," Wilson told Floodlight.

The first atomic bomb test in 1945 created an entirely new material
The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab.
During the Trinity nuclear test on July 16, 1945, in the New Mexico desert — the world's very first test of an atomic bomb — a new material spontaneously formed.
It was discovered only recently, by an international research team coordinated by geologist Luca Bindi at the University of Florence, which identified the novel clathrate based on calcium, copper, and silicon.
It's a material never before observed either in nature or as an artificial compound created in the laboratory.
