Toxic air invading 17 US states TODAY as massive plume of wildfire smoke crosses nation's border
See more Daily Mail on Google - save us as a Preferred Source
By CHRIS MELORE, US DEPUTY SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 08:19 EDT, 15 July 2026 | Updated: 11:25 EDT, 15 July 2026
A dense mass of smoke containing harmful lung-penetrating particles has begun pouring over the US border from Canada.
The giant plume is sweeping across the Upper Midwest and into the Northeast this week, driven by jet streams carrying smoke from large wildfires burning in northern Ontario.
Weather experts believe Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan will see the densest smoke filling the air on Wednesday, and the plume will quickly move on to Pennsylvania, New York and the entire New England area by Thursday.
Dan DePodwin, AccuWeather's vice president of forecasting, told the Daily Mail that major metropolitan areas such as New York City and Philadelphia could start to see air quality affected on Wednesday and Thursday.
'Northern Michigan, maybe Western New York, those types of spots at this point seem most favorable to experience at least a time of poor air quality. And then places farther east, like Boston, some of the major cities in the northeast,' DePodwin predicted.
Officials have warned that wildfire smoke contains fine particulate matter, also known as PM2.5, which consists of microscopic particles of toxic compounds, small enough to penetrate human tissue and cause breathing issues.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has connected breathing in PM2.5 to multiple health issues, including aggravated asthma, decreased lung function, irregular heartbeat, heart attacks and premature death for those with heart and lung disease.
'If the visibility starts to really be reduced and you can really smell the smoke, that's a situation that becomes unhealthy. You want to be spending indoor time, especially if you're a sensitive group, or even wearing a mask outside is something that can be done in those situations if you have to be outside and avoiding strenuous activity,' DePodwin cautioned.
Other states expected to see the impact of the wildfire smoke include parts of New Jersey, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois - especially in the Chicago area.
The effects of the Canadian wildfires were already beginning to flow over the border at the start of the week, but the intensity is expected to increase dramatically within hours.
The National Weather Service's (NWS) office in New York posted on Tuesday: 'Smell smoke this morning? It's coming from a wildfire outbreak in Ontario.
'While it should not impact air quality much today, smoke at the surface could increase Wednesday into Thursday, potentially reducing visibilities and air quality.'
More than 800 active wildfires have been burning across Canada this summer, particularly in the Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
DePodwin noted that two million acres have already burned down in Canada this year, which is more than the total for some entire wildfire seasons in the country.
While he said that climate change may play a role in the increasing number of wildfires throughout Canada in recent years, DePodwin pointed out that the nation's lack of fire and land management efforts was causing plumes of smoke to reach the US.
'Because a lot of Canada is very rural, in many parts of the country, they don't actively fight fires, because there is very little to no population nearby,' the AccuWeather forecaster explained.
'So, the fires burn until they go out themselves, or they do minimal fire suppression. So that is part of it, that is occurring here.'
While US air quality is expected to be impacted this week, DePodwin said the effects will likely be far less visible compared to 2023, when the skies over several states turned orange with smoke-filled pollutants.
That year, 40 million acres of forests burned down across Canada in a historic wildfire season.
'It would be difficult to repeat 2023 again. However, that same poor air quality, where it becomes unhealthy or very unhealthy, that type of air quality, we're seeing that in Canada near the fires where they're burning now,' DePodwin explained.
'You could have that type of poor air quality in at least parts of the northeastern Great Lakes here through the middle of the week, probably through about Thursday, we could see pockets of that,' he continued.
DePodwin added that wildfires go through cycles, pouring out massive amounts of smoke and then stopping for a time, meaning the impact on US air quality can be very unpredictable from hour to hour.
'Some of the tools we use suggest that there could be poor air quality in a lot of places like Buffalo, maybe New York City, Albany, maybe even down to Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday,' he said.
'I think a safe bet at this point would be to say that it's probably prudent to plan for a day or two of at least some reduction of air quality, and it's not out of the question that it becomes unhealthy.'
How unhealthy, DePodwin said, will depend on how low the smoke drops in the atmosphere.
Entering Wednesday, most of the smoke was high up, creating hazy or milky-looking sunshine and making sunrises and sunsets more colorful and vivid.
That does not affect air quality much at ground level.
When the smoke mixes down closer to the surface, however, that is when air quality can get worse.
As smoke pours into the Northeast this week, the region has already been dealing with extreme heat and humidity caused by a massive heat dome affecting 25 states.
While the thick air is not expected to directly make the smoky conditions worse for your health, DePodwin noted that any area where the smoke reaches ground level will feel even worse during the summer heatwave.
'A very hot day and a very humid day are already not very comfortable. If you then add near-surface smoke that reduces air quality and visibility and smells not great, that's going to even feel grittier and just not pleasant. It's going to make you feel even more unpleasant, obviously.'

Israel limits US aerial refueling aircraft at Ben-Gurion Airport
The tankers created a bottleneck at the airport due to a shortage of room to park planes.

Jul 16, 2026 at 9:45 am
(JNS) Israel and the US have agreed to cap the number of American refueling planes parked at Ben-Gurion International Airport at 20, with additional aircraft to be relocated to Israeli Air Force bases, the Transport Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The decision, which comes amid the breakdown of the ceasefire with Iran following its persistent attacks in the Gulf, was made to enable capacity for civilian flights at Israel’s main international gateway during the peak summer travel season, Transport Minister Miri Regev said.
The unprecedented deployment of some 72 US military aircraft at Israel’s main civilian airport, which began in February, was being reduced after the June 17 US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding took effect.
The aircraft created a bottleneck at the airport outside of Tel Aviv, as international carriers resumed flights amid a shortage of parking space.
The US paused the drawdown and returned additional aircraft to the airport this month due to escalating tensions with Iran, bringing the number of aircraft there to exceed the agreed-upon cap.
Amid US dissatisfaction with the limit, new understandings were reached with the American military to enforce the 20-plane limit to keep the busy commercial airport fully operational.
“Israel is a strong military ally, and we appreciate the warm hospitality for American forces as we work shoulder to shoulder in promoting regional security and stability,” US Navy Captain Tim Hawkins, US Central Command spokesperson, said in a statement sent to JNS on Wednesday. “US Central Command will continue working with our Israeli partners to best position US aircraft to support operations.”

July 15, 2026: First Daylight Air Strikes Begin Against Iran
Hal Turner World July 15, 2026
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) says U.S. forces have begun another round of strikes against Iran, marking the first daytime strikes we’ve seen since the ceasefire took effect:
This is clearly an indication that strikes are escalating.
President Trump told Fox News to expect a variety of strikes to take place this week, warning they will escalate even further next week. He indicated Iran will face the loss of infrastructure like Power Plants, Bridges, and Oil infrastructure.
Iran's army said on Wednesday it would respond after a US strike on one of its barracks in southeastern Iran that it said killed seven military personnel.
The army's ground forces said the United States fired 13 missiles at a barracks in Bampur, near Iranshahr, before dawn, targeting accommodation buildings and guard posts. It said seven military personnel, including career soldiers and conscripts, were killed and several others were wounded.
"The retaliation for the blood of the martyrs of this crime is certain and imminent," the army said, adding that it would deliver a "decisive response" to the attack.
A former Iranian foreign minister called for a ground assault on a US military base in the region and the capture of 100 Americans. “My proposal is that we launch a ground attack on one of the US bases in the region, capture 100 Americans and bring them to Iran,” said Manouchehr Mottaki, who is now a member of Iran’s parliament.
BAHRAIN ATTACKED TOO
The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force issued a statement Wednesday: "The General Command of the Bahrain Defense Force announces that Iran continues its systematic aggression through its heinous attacks targeting civilians in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
The Bahrain Defense Force's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed several treacherous Iranian aerial attacks this morning, Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
The General Command emphasizes that the deliberate use of missiles and drones to target civilians and private property constitutes a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law."
90 Minutes Later, It Was Over
CENTCOM has publicly announced it completed a morning round of strikes against Iran at 7:30 a.m. ET on July 15.
CENTCOM says it launched precision munitions against coastal defense systems and cruise missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island during the 90-minute wave. The strikes further degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Open Borders Are A Death Sentence To Western Nations: Governments Have Refused To Respect The Wishes Of Their Citizens
By J.B. Shurk (American Thinker) - All News Pipeline
July 15, 2026As simmering conflicts between Western citizens and Western governments boil over the next few years, we must never forget how we got to this point: Elected officials and irremovable bureaucrats occupying permanent administrative roles have refused to respect the wishes of the citizens whom they ostensibly represent and serve.
From the United States to the United Kingdom, citizens have demanded that their governments secure national borders and end the steady flow of illegal aliens into their communities. From France, the Netherlands, and Germany to Australia and New Zealand, citizens have demanded that their governments arrest and remove Islamic immigrants who are guilty of rape, murder, or other violent crimes. With the exception of President Trump’s efforts to enforce immigration law and deport illegal alien criminals (despite formidable resistance from the courts, leftist NGOs, and Establishment politicians from both the Democrat and Republican Parties) in the United States, no Western official has done anything to remedy the scourge of unlawful mass invasion in a deliberate, meaningful, and effective way. Instead, Western governments hide from their citizens the true number of illegal immigrants living among them. Western governments hide from their citizens a full accounting of the crimes committed by foreign nationals who should never have been permitted entry in the first place.
Mass illegal immigration is not a new problem. In the United States, President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act into law in 1986. Defended by both political parties as a way of combating illegal immigration while providing long-term lawbreakers legal status, it effectively awarded millions of foreign nationals amnesty. Politicians convinced the American people to support this trade-off: In return for citizens’ reluctantly permitting the government to reward the unlawful behavior of foreign immigrants who had no right to reside in the United States, the government would protect citizens by cracking down on future illegal immigration and punishing businesses that hired illegal immigrant workers. The U.S. government never lived up to its side of the bargain.
Instead, U.S. officials have lied to their citizens for forty additional years. Until President Trump entered office, U.S. borders were not secured. Businesses were rarely punished for hiring illegal aliens. Unbeknownst to most American citizens, State and federal welfare programs continued to add illegal aliens to their taxpayer-funded dole rolls. School districts in both cities and small towns continued to enroll illegal alien children. Hospital emergency rooms continued to overflow with illegal alien patients seeking “free” medical care. American jobs — especially blue-collar jobs — continued to go to illegal aliens because employers could pay foreigners less, avoid state and federal taxes, and use the threat of deportation as exploitative leverage over their workforces. Illegal alien workers continued to place downward pressure on hourly wages. Illegal aliens continued to place upward pressure on the costs of housing, energy, and household necessities.
Sometime in the ‘90s, American politicians and government bureaucrats began admitting to Americans that there were roughly eleven million illegal aliens inside the United States. For the next thirty years, politicians and bureaucrats repeated the same “eleven million” figure as if no net-increase in immigration had occurred. Anybody living in small-town America knew this to be a demonstrable lie. In the nineties, local school classrooms were made up almost entirely of American kids who grew up speaking English in households whose families had been living in the United States for generations. As each year passed, those same classrooms were increasingly filled with kids whose parents had come from all over the world, and even small school districts were forced to hire staff who could attend to the needs of an increasingly foreign student body unfamiliar with basic English.
Former Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino has said repeatedly that there are more than one hundred million illegal aliens residing in the United States. In other words, roughly one out of every three people living inside the borders of the U.S. is a foreign national unlawfully here. If those foreign nationals are employed, then they are likely guilty of identity fraud and committing a number of additional state and federal crimes. Of those committing identity fraud, many are using social security numbers stolen from American citizens. Illegal aliens who steal Americans’ identities adversely affect citizens’ credit scores, tax obligations with the IRS, and background checks. Illegal aliens who fraudulently vote by claiming to be American citizens steal votes from actual American citizens. Foreign nationals who illegally vote in American elections deny American citizens legitimate representation and undermine Americans’ constitutional form of self-government.
In 1986, lawmakers from both parties promised an end to illegal immigration. Instead, tens of millions of new illegal aliens have continued to arrive. In return for grudgingly acceding to the government’s desire to provide a one-time gift of amnesty to those foreigners whose first act in the country was to break our immigration laws, Americans continued to lose jobs, pay more for everything, and be defrauded by identity theft. Even worse, they were forced to watch as foreign cultures transformed their schools and towns. They were forced to watch as foreigners successfully ran for political office and pushed foreign policies and beliefs upon American citizens.
New York City has a Muslim mayor from Uganda who has been a naturalized U.S. citizen for only eight years. Minneapolis has a Muslim member of Congress from Somalia who became a naturalized U.S. citizen at the age of seventeen. Roughly 4% of Congress are foreign-born naturalized citizens, while 15% of Congress have at least one immigrant parent. A third of the judges occupying prestigious and powerful positions on the D.C. District Courts were born in foreign nations. These numbers are going in one direction — up!
When President Barack Obama spoke enthusiastically about “fundamentally transforming” the United States, this is what he had in mind. If you invite third-world communists to break into your country, pretty soon your government will be filled with third-world communists, too. Americans were never consulted about this “fundamental transformation.” Politicians and bureaucrats steamrolled American citizens with tall tales of foreign immigrants fleeing violence in their home countries and seeking safety in the United States. Nobody tried to explain why all the foreigners fleeing persecution in their home countries still wave their national flags in American neighborhoods and at American sporting events. Nobody tried to explain why foreigners from all over the world couldn’t obtain asylum in countries closer to home. Nobody tried to explain why so many foreigners claiming asylum in the United States continue to visit their friends and families in their native countries.
No American ever voted for this radical transformation. No politician or government bureaucrat respected American citizens enough to seek their consent. Nevertheless, politicians and bureaucrats continue to lie to the American people by pretending that foreign nationals are not taking over their society. Because they despise American citizens, government officials tell obvious lies without shame.
Where is all this shameless and callous disregard for the will of American citizens headed? It is headed toward the same dead end already appearing in other Western nations such as the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, and France: Increasingly, Western peoples are electing political representatives who promise to end divisive and deadly mass immigration policies. The more that government officials undermine their citizens’ electoral will, the more that citizens are turning to the streets to be heard. Peaceful forms of civil disobedience are evolving into violent altercations with police.
Instead of listening to their citizens, Western governments call them racists and censor their online speech. At some point, citizens will conclude that their governments have become threats to their security and way of life. Governments will lose their legitimacy. Western countries will become battlefields. Open borders guarantee that Western nations will die.

Massachusetts Proposes Government Islam Commission
Commission will use “practice of Islam” to pick government appointees.
July 15, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield 24 Comments
Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left: HERE.
In 1833, Massachusetts became the last state in the country to ‘disestablish’ its church and separate church and state. In 2026, Massachusetts legislators are proposing to ‘reestablish’ Islam as a state religion with the power to propose laws and pick government officials.
13 out of 40 State Senate Democrat members backed a bill calling for a “permanent commission on the status of people who practice Islam”. The title of Bill S.2134 ‘An Act promoting the civil rights and inclusion of American Muslims in the commonwealth’ may appear innocuous, but the bill creates a quasi-government body, not for an ethnic or racial group, but for a religion, that will take government and private funding, propose legislation, recommend Muslims for government positions and “foster unity” and cooperation among Islamist groups.
The government commission will, among other things, use its government access to “identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions”. This amounts to a government-created body making “the practice of Islam” into a religious test for government office, something that is completely illegal and would never be tolerated from a Christian government commission using the “practice of Christianity” as a test for recommending its members and allies for appointed office.
Under Chapter 3 of its general laws, Massachusetts has permanent commissions on the status of various groups, women, black people, LGBTQ, the disabled, grandparents, and Latinos, but not for any specifically religious group. There was a temporary commission on antisemitism, which was shut down and the legislative rider that created it made no mention of the commission being created specifically for a religious, rather than an ethnic group.
So I reached out to the Massachusetts ACLU, the American Humanist Association and the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), three organizations that had been very involved in lawsuits and campaigns over church and state issues to see whether they objected to a ‘permanent commission’ to advance the ideological and religious aims of a particular religious group.
The ACLU and AHA did not respond, however FFRF Senior Policy Counsel Ryan Jayne warned that “Section (d)(5) of the bill states that the Commission will “identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions, as the commission considers necessary and appropriate”. This is entirely unacceptable for a taxpayer-funded body because it shows a clear denominational preference for public office, raising serious concerns under the First Amendment and Article VI of the U.S. Constitution.” Certainly the ability of the “practice of Islam” commission to put forward religious appointees for government positions involves an inherent religious test for holding public office.
As Jayne notes, Article VI does state that “no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.” It’s hard to square that with creating a commission limited to one religious group and having it propose appointments.
The Islamic commission will however also propose “legislation to combat Islamophobia”, a unique case of a specifically religious group getting government funding to propose legislation.
Ryan Jayne of FFRF, while arguing that “anti-Muslim bigotry” is a problem, also noted that “the bill uses but does not define the term ‘Islamophobia.’ This creates a risk of the commission conflating genuine animus against Muslims with criticism of Islam, which is protected speech under the First Amendment and would be inappropriate for the government to censor or oppose.” Defining ‘Islamophobia’ also requires defining ‘Islam’.
Bill S.2134 raises all sorts of major problems, beginning with its creation of a government religious commission on the “status of people who practice Islam”. It is not clear how Massachusetts exactly intends to define the “practice” of Islam. There are two branches of Islam and various groups like the Nation of Islam or the Ahmadis who claim to practice Islam, but whose religious beliefs Muslims reject. If Bill S.2134 becomes law, the Massachusetts government will have to determine who is or isn’t actually practicing Islam. It will also have to deal with potential discrimination complaints from groups like the Ahmadis whose “practice” of Islam is rejected by Islamists and would likely be barred from this commission.
Sen. Jamie Eldridge, the leading proponent of the “Practice of Islam” bill lists laudatory quotes about the bill from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), an unindicted co-conspirator in funding Islamic terrorism which endorsed the attacks of Oct 7, and a Boston mosque patronized by a terrorist, implying the Islamist group is a driving force behind the bill.
CAIR’s endorsement is a significant issue because Bill S.2134 also states that members of the ‘permanent commission’ must have “demonstrated a commitment to the Muslim American community.” That suggests backers such as CAIR will be picking members of this commission.
Another item in the legislation makes it clear that the commission is meant to be a government-backed command hub for CAIR and other Islamist groups. The goal of the commission is to “foster unity among the American Muslim community and organizations in the commonwealth by promoting cooperation and sharing of information and encouraging collaboration and joint activities.”
The idea of a government commission to “foster unity” among a particular group is a very strange one and such language doesn’t exist in the black, Latino or LGBTQ commissions.
Islamists want to exploit the resources, finances and prestige of the Massachusetts state government to create and manage an Islamist umbrella network. Not only is Bill S.2134 creating a permanent commission on “the practice of Islam”, but the commission will oversee existing Islamist operations in the state. It’s unclear what these are, but some may well be religious.
And the Islamic commission will be able to accept both private and government funding which “shall be deposited in a separate account with the state secretary’s office” and the organization will be staffed by “a paid executive director” and “employees” as well as volunteers, further crossing the lines between government and private Islamist religious group activism. An Islamist group with private funding and government authority seems like a constitutional nightmare.
Had such an organization been created for Christians or Jews, with the specific mandate that it represent the agendas of those “who practice Christianity” or those “who practice Judaism”, the ACLU and the American Humanist Association would have been all over it, and yet none of these organizations have objected to the Massachusetts bill because the two tier system bans church and state, but welcomes mosque and state.
Bill S.2134 ‘An Act promoting the civil rights and inclusion of American Muslims in the commonwealth’ has not yet become law. After being proposed in 2024, it made it out of committee at the end of last year and the last action on it was a referral to the State Senate Committee on Ways and Means.
Those voting in favor of the bill included Sen. Rebecca Rausch, a Democrat who had fought to remove the state’s old blasphemy code, but now how long will it be until she’s fighting to put it back?

We Are Sleepwalking into a Global Catastrophe: Why Trump’s War on Iran Threatens the Infrastructure That Keeps Billions Alive
Guest Post by Mike Adams
July 15, 2026
The Failure to See the Real Danger
Admittedly, I have failed to explain the stakes clearly enough. For months, I have written about fertilizer supply chains, the Haber-Bosch process, and the vulnerability of the Strait of Hormuz. But the gravity of this crisis has not sunk in for most people. Let me put it as plainly as I can: The global population of more than 8 billion people depends on a fragile web of natural gas, oil, and downstream chemistry that took 60+ years to build on this planet. If we lose 25 percent of these critical substances, we lose 25 percent of the population. That is 2 billion people. Here is why that math is inescapable.
As I documented in my article “The Haber-Bosch House of Cards,” the single chemical reaction that fixes nitrogen from the air into fertilizer is responsible for feeding roughly half of humanity [1]. That process requires vast quantities of natural gas. The Persian Gulf region, especially Qatar and Iran, supplies much of that gas. When the Trump administration launched its war on Iran in February 2026 and the Strait of Hormuz was effectively closed, the global fertilizer supply chain began to collapse. This is not a prediction of future famine. The famine is already baked in. But it could still get a whole lot worse depending on how things go from here.
The Hidden Infrastructure That Keeps Us Alive
Natural gas from Qatar and the Persian Gulf is not just for heating homes. It is the essential feedstock for nitrogenous fertilizers via the Haber-Bosch process. Without this gas, ammonia production stops. Without ammonia feedstock material for agricultural fertilizers, crops fail. Half of humanity is alive today only because of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. As Sharon Astyk explains in her book “Depletion and Abundance,” our entire food system floats on a sea of oil and natural gas [2]. We have built a civilization that is utterly dependent on these energy-dense inputs.
Then there is sulfuric acid. It is produced as a byproduct of sour crude oil refining and is indispensable for manufacturing phosphate fertilizer. Without oil extraction, no sulfur, no phosphate – no food. The Persian Gulf supplies roughly one-third of globally traded fertilizer, and the Strait of Hormuz is the lifeline for both oil and gas shipments. As Lewis Dartnell notes in “Origins,” the narrow straits of Bab-el-Mandeb and Hormuz have been critical chokepoints for trade for millennia [3]. Today, they are the arteries of global food production. Sever them, and you sever the lifeline of billions.
How Trump’s Bombing Has Already Fractured the System
The war began with U.S. airstrikes on Iran after Trump claimed an imminent threat – a decision he later admitted was influenced by Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Pete Hegseth [4]. Iran retaliated by closing the Strait of Hormuz, effectively cutting off 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas supply. Then came the Israeli strikes on Iran’s South Pars gas field. Iran responded by targeting QatarEnergy’s gas trained, achieving precision strikes. The damage is extensive. Two of QatarEnergy’s gas trains have been destroyed, with repairs estimated at 3 to 5 years – or a decade if Iran retaliates further and damages all 14 gas trains.
The loss of that gas means no nitrogen fertilizer, no affordable aluminum, no derived helium – the entire industrial chain is crippled. A detailed analysis by Craig Tindale, titled “Systemic Risk: A 12-Order Cascading Analysis of a Zero-Flow Strait of Hormuz Closure,” shows that the interruption of this one corridor can propagate outward into a general crisis of civilization [5]. Trump’s threats to target Iranian civilian infrastructure risk escalating the destruction to all Persian Gulf states. The system is not just under strain; it is breaking.
The Unavoidable Result: A Decade-Long Mass Die-Off
Without abundant fertilizer supplies, global food production collapses. For a decade, it will be physically impossible to feed all 8 billion people (only some of them will have access to food, but not all). As I warned in “The 10 Year Famine Is About to Be Unleashed,” the foundation of civilization is one vulnerable facility – the fertilizer supply chain [6]. In a worst-case scenario with extensive infrastructure destruction, the population could shrink from 8 billion to 4 billion or less. This is not hyperbole; it is mathematics. You cannot have half the food and keep all the people.
The coming migration tsunami will reshape the world, as I detailed in my article by that name [7]. Civil unrest, government collapses, and even cannibalism will follow. This is the scale of an asteroid impact, but man-made. The question is not whether mass death will occur, but how many billions will die before the system stabilizes at a lower population.
Conclusion: The Mad Emperor at the Controls
In summary, Trump is waging war on the entire human race. He and his advisers seemingly have no understanding of the ramifications of their actions. As I wrote in “The Coming Famine,” millions (at minimum) will starve because of a man-made catastrophe [8]. And if the escalation worsens, we could literally be facing the end of the world as we know it.
A year’s supply of food will not help. Only ending this senseless war can prevent billions of deaths.
Demand an end to this madness before we all find ourselves in the crosshairs of global destruction. The stakes have never been higher, and the consequences of inaction are beyond comprehension.

The Future Is Now: War, Famine, Pestilence And Natural Disasters Will Define The Months Ahead
July 13, 2026
I have been repeatedly telling my readers that we are living in apocalyptic times, and when I first started saying that I think that many people out there thought that I was exaggerating, but now what is happening to us is becoming a lot more obvious. The war in the Middle East has escalated dramatically over the past week, the “Super El Ni
ño” is causing absolutely crazy heatwaves and storms all over the planet, the Ebola outbreak in Africa is totally out of control, and we have been witnessing some very large earthquakes in Venezuela and elsewhere. I have been warning that war, famine, pestilence and natural disasters are in our future, but the truth is that the future is now. Global events have started to spiral out of control, and the chaos that we are experiencing is not going to stop.Just a little while ago, U.S. Central Command informed the world that for a third night in a row the U.S. has begun conducting an enormous round of airstrikes in Iranian territory…
Moments after President Trump told talk show host Hugh Hewitt the U.S. would be launching more strikes against Iran, U.S. Central Command announced the U.S. began its third consecutive night of strikes.
“At 4:45 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command began launching the third consecutive night of strikes against Iran, at the Commander in Chief’s direction,” U.S. Central Command announced on X. “These strikes will continue imposing a heavy cost on Iranian forces and degrade their ability to attack innocent civilians and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.”
Massive explosions are being reported in multiple locations even as I write this article.
And President Trump just told Hugh Hewitt that the U.S. is even going to attack “Pickaxe Mountain” at some point…
Speaking to conservative talk host Hugh Hewitt, President Trump said the U.S. will hit Iran hard Monday and Tuesday. The president said the U.S. will “take out” Pickaxe Mountain, a deeply buried site that analysts believe could be part of Iran’s nuclear program..
“We’re going to take out Pickaxe Mountain,” he said. “Tell the Iranians to be ready. Let them know we’re coming, okay? There’s not a damn thing they can do about it.”
I have mentioned Pickaxe Mountain multiple times in recent weeks.
Many believe that Iran’s most important nuclear work goes on in that underground facility, and so far the U.S. and Israel have not been able to damage it because it is considered to be “beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs”…
Pickaxe Mountain, located near Iran’s heavily damaged Natanz uranium enrichment facility, is a heavily fortified site that hosts two deeply buried tunnel complexes that experts assess as beyond the reach of the most powerful bunker buster bombs in the U.S. arsenal.
President Trump is signaling that the U.S. is prepared to take things to a new level.
Of course the Iranians are not just going to sit there and absorb punishment.
They have been striking back every night, and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf just issued a very ominous warning…
What did he mean by that?
We don’t know.
But what we do know is that the Iranians just hit two UAE tankers with cruise missiles…
The Iranians are simply not going to back down, and so things are going to get insane.
Earlier today, we learned that President Trump has notified Congress that the war with Iran is officially back on…
President Trump formally notified Congress that “military action” against Iran restarted last week, according to a letter obtained by CBS News on Monday, as a monthslong ceasefire comes to an end.
Military action “commenced on July 7,” the president said in a message dated July 10 and addressed to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Senate’s president pro tempore.
The letter was sent after Mr. Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire “over” and ordered several rounds of strikes on Iranian targets, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last week. Iranian authorities have insisted that ships seek permission and use an Iranian-approved route before transiting the strait, and responded to the U.S. strikes by launching missiles and drones at U.S.-allied Gulf states.
Iran War 3 is not going to be like Iran War 1 or Iran War 2.
In my opinion, the coming weeks will be full of shocks and surprises.
Meanwhile, yet another gigantic heat dome produced by the “Super El Niño” is frying large portions of the western half of the United States…
Roughly 100 million people across the United States are facing extreme temperatures this week as a heat dome scorching the western part of the country spreads to the Northeast.
In Billings, Montana, temperatures reached a record high of 111 degrees on Sunday as the dangerous heat was felt across the Great Basin, the Rockies and sections of the desert Southwest.
Temperatures are forecast to be 20 to 30 degrees above average for this time of year, according to CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan. Some locations will see record-breaking temperatures through the week.
It isn’t supposed to get up to 111 degrees in Montana.
But it just did.
This “Super El Niño” is going to do so much damage to crops all over the world, and the World Meteorological Organization is projecting that this could push global food prices higher for years…
Analysts are warning that a powerful El Niño developing in the Pacific Ocean could push up global food prices over the months and years ahead.
In early July, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecast that current El Niño weather conditions would “strengthen rapidly over the coming months,” with a higher likelihood of “heatwaves, droughts, heavy rainfall and other extreme weather events in many parts of the world.” Meanwhile, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) last week said there was an 81 percent possibility of a “very strong” El Niño between October and December—one it said would rank “among the largest El Niño events in the historical record going back to 1950.”
Meteorologists and economists, including analysts at the World Bank, warn that such an event—dubbed by some a “super” or “Godzilla” El Niño—could disrupt global agriculture and food supply chains through next year while exacerbating the economic pressures facing countries worldwide.
Tens of millions died from starvation during the “Super El Niño” of 1877-1878.
How many will die from starvation this time around?
If health authorities are not able to get the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo under control, pestilence could claim a large number of lives during the months ahead as well.
Earlier today, we learned that another American has officially tested positive…
Another US citizen has tested positive for Ebola as part of an ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The American was working for a humanitarian organization and was transferred to Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany on Monday, US officials said.
The CDC announced the positive test on Friday and said it is working with public health authorities and the person’s employer, which was not identified, to identify close contacts and prevent further transmission.
There is no cure for the Bundibugyo strain, and the official numbers that we are being given are going up quite rapidly…
Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya, MD, MPH, said that, as of July 9, 112 healthcare workers have been infected with Ebola since the outbreak began, including 35 who died. The outbreak now stands at 1,947 cases, and 704 deaths, with the vast majority of those in the DRC.
As I noted on Friday, many experts are convinced that the official numbers are seriously understating the severity of this outbreak.
I have shared this before, but I am going to share it again. It is being reported that approximately four out of every five new Ebola cases in the DRC “have no known link to existing patients”…
Four out of every five new Ebola cases in parts of Democratic Republic of Congo have no known link to existing patients, a senior World Health Organization official said, warning that the true scale of the outbreak could be two to four times larger than official data suggest.
The figures underscore the challenges facing health workers as they battle to contain the outbreak in the country’s northeast, which has so far infected 1,792 people and killed 625, according to government data released on Thursday.
The vast majority of the new cases that are popping up have no connection to the existing cases that authorities already know about.
That is a major league red flag.
And once someone gets infected, there is a very good chance that they will die.
Lastly, I wanted to point out two very alarming earthquakes that we just witnessed in Southern California…
A second significant earthquake has struck Southern California in two days, along a dangerous fault line that one expert claims has now been ‘unlocked’ and could soon unleash ‘The Big One.’
A magnitude 4.3 quake struck less than 90 miles from Los Angeles at 12.40pm ET (9.40am local) on Monday, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS).
It struck less than 24 hours after a magnitude 4.1 tremor erupted along the same fault line that a California geophysicist says is long overdue for a massive and devastating quake – the Garlock Fault.
The ground is shaking.
But are local residents paying attention?
Sunday’s quake happened at a location where the Garlock Fault meets the San Andreas Fault.
According to geophysicist Stefan Burns, this was the largest earthquake at that particular junction in 26 years…
The Garlock is a major east-west fault in Southern California, while the San Andreas is an 800-mile-long fracture running from Southern California north through the Bay Area and into the Pacific Ocean.
Burns warned that the earthquake struck exactly where these two faults meet, in an area that has not seen a quake this strong in more than 26 years.
According to the scientist, this small event at the junction could be an early sign that underground stress is building and the Garlock may play a role in the next major California earthquake – which many call ‘The Big One.’
As I keep pointing out, scientists have repeatedly warned us that “the Big One” is way overdue.
It is just a matter of time before it strikes, and once that day arrives life in Southern California will never be the same again.
Sadly, many will ignore the warnings until it is too late.
Even though so many historic events are happening all around us, I am seeing so much apathy out there right now.
20 years ago we weren’t being hit by crisis after crisis, but that is considered to be “normal” in 2026.
We really are in the midst of a “perfect storm” in which we are being hammered by one problem after another, and this “perfect storm” is only going to intensify in the months ahead.

Both sides claim to 'control Hormuz' as explosions reported in Iran, column of smoke in Kuwait | Watch
Reports of explosions in Kuwait as the current round of blows between Washington and Tehran continues; IRGC says it 'captured' the Strait of Hormuz and that it would remain in Tehran's hands as Trump claims 'Strait is open and remains an international shipping lane'
Lior Ben Ari
Lior Ben Ari|12:56
The exchange of blows in the Persian Gulf over control of the Strait of Hormuz continues, with media outlets reporting explosions in Kuwait and an Iranian missile strike on a U.S. Army missile unit position in the country. According to reports in Iran’s Mehr news agency, the unit played “a significant role in the attack carried out last night in southern Iran.” There were also reports that the Revolutionary Guards attacked U.S. warships and vessels “that carried out a violation 20 kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz.”
Tehran confirmed that missiles fired by an “enemy” struck near Qeshm Island. According to reports, air defense systems and small Revolutionary Guards boats were hit at several locations in the Strait of Hormuz.
Rocket attacks in Kuwait
Meanwhile, both Iran and the United States are claiming control of Hormuz. The Revolutionary Guards first announced that they had barred foreign companies from passing through the strait without Iranian monitoring. “The strategic passage is more important to us than dozens of atomic bombs,” Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said of the Strait of Hormuz, which has become the main point of contention between Iran and the U.S.
On Saturday night the Iranians announced that the strait would remain closed “until American intervention in the region ends.” In a post on X, Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, wrote: “We seized the Strait of Hormuz by force, and we will keep it by force.”
U.S. Central Command, however, said that “Iran does not control the strait. It remains an international maritime route. U.S. forces are deployed and ready to ensure it stays that way.”
U.S. President Donald Trump also addressed the issue. In an interview with NBC on Sunday, he rejected Iran’s claim that it had closed the strait. “Yes, it is open. We bombed them hard last night,” he said.
Trump claimed Tehran had agreed to a deal the previous day: "A perfect deal for us, no nuclear, no this, no that, no nothing, they gave up everything. And then after that, they left the room, and then within an hour they launched a drone at a ship.”
Tehran also referred to the division of shipping lanes in the strait with Oman. Members of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee made clear in a statement that “Iran will manage the Strait of Hormuz, with or without Oman.”
“Based on the supreme leader’s instructions, management of the Strait of Hormuz will not return to its previous state,” they said. “Whether in cooperation with Oman or independently, management of this waterway will be in Iran’s hands.”
The current round of attacks began when Iran struck cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Washington continued to encourage passage through a waterway route that the Revolutionary Guards do not recognize. In response, Trump said at a NATO meeting in Ankara that, as far as he was concerned, the ceasefire was over.
“They are a bunch of scum. I don’t like them at all. We wasted a lot of time with them, they are incompetent,” he said. “They want to eliminate me — the president of the United States. I have been No. 1 on their list for years. We need to eliminate the cancer early — that is how I feel.”
Expanding the circle of fire in the Gulf
Overnight, the U.S. carried out its largest number of strikes in the past week. According to U.S. Central Command, more than 300 targets have been attacked in the past week “to degrade Iran’s ability to attack civilian and commercial vessels passing through the strait.”
According to the U.S. military, 800 vessels have passed through the strait with American assistance since May, carrying 400 million barrels of oil. The Iranians said the Americans carried out strikes on seven military bases in Bushehr, five in Deir and four in Asaluyeh.
Iran, for its part, expanded the circle of fire and attacked at least six countries, claiming the targets were U.S. bases. Saudi Arabia has not yet been attacked.
Jordan: On Thursday, Iran’s military said it had fired missiles at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, a Jordanian air force base also used by U.S. forces. Jordan said no damage was caused and that eight missiles were intercepted. Tehran said it had launched 10. Jordan’s news agency reported Sunday that three missiles fell inside the country, causing no casualties.
Kuwait: The Gulf state has reported coming under attack each time since the renewed exchange of blows began. The Iranians announced fire toward U.S. bases in the small country, while Kuwait reported intercepting at least 13 drones and missiles over the past week. Kuwait also reported intercepting hostile targets Sunday morning.
Bahrain: Tehran said it also attacked the small Gulf state Sunday morning. Bahrain’s military announced Thursday that it had intercepted missiles and drones. Explosions were also reported across the country Sunday morning.
Qatar: Qatar said Sunday morning, for the first time since renewed fighting between Iran and the U.S., that it was facing missile fire toward its territory. Qatar, which is mediating between Iran and the U.S. and made efforts over the weekend as well, told its citizens Sunday morning that the security threat level was high and urged them to remain indoors and stay away from windows. Qatar hosts the strategic U.S. Al Udeid Air Base, which Iran said was the target. Qatar reported three people wounded by interceptor fragments Sunday morning.
United Arab Emirates: For the first time this week, the Gulf state, which has peaceful relations with Israel, was also attacked by Iran. Alerts for missile and drone fire were activated in the UAE on Sunday morning, and reports said the country was dealing with the threat.
Oman: The Revolutionary Guards also announced fire Sunday morning toward the “neutral” country that is supposed to manage the Strait of Hormuz with Iran. According to the Revolutionary Guards, “U.S.-owned logistics centers supporting ships and refueling docks at the port of Duqm in Oman were destroyed.” Oman reported drones aimed at targets in Musandam Governorate.

Horrified villagers living in fear after hundreds of venomous snakes escape farm as floodwaters crush city
By News.com.au
Published July 10, 2026, 7:18 a.m. ET
If you have a fear of snakes, stop reading right now.
Truly frightening footage has emerged of hundreds of venomous snakes escaping a breeding farm as floodwaters smash through a village in Hengzhou, China.
Poisonous cobras were among the almost 900 reptiles that were reportedly released when days of heavy rain caused severe flooding in the area and destroyed their facility.
The bizarre clip shows snakes popping their heads up above the water and slowly slither their way across the body of water in a very Loch Ness style of horror.
They apparently got loose after a nearby reservoir collapsed and the snakes were able to go free in the town, sparking concern from local residents.
The breeding farm is said to have housed a mix of venomous cobras, king rat snakes and non-venomous water snakes.
Emergency teams were dispatched to the scene to search for the escaped reptiles and assist local residents affected by the flooding.

The Hengzhou Emergency Management Bureau confirmed rescue workers were dealing with the incident.
Officials said further information would be released as the situation develops.
The great escape has prompted authorities to stock up on anti-venom and advise residents on what to do if they happen to encounter a snake.
It is understood that at least one person has already been bitten and is receiving medical treatment, according to local media.
The terrifying scenes come after it was reported that at least 39 people lost their lives in China in the last week, after a tropical storm dumped heavy rainfall and caused widespread flooding.

Most of the deaths occurred in Hengzhou, where the partial collapse of a reservoir dam sent torrents of water into the city and claimed 26 lives, said Ding Wei, the vice mayor of Nanning city, which has jurisdiction over the area, at a news briefing.
Nine people remain missing in the broader Guangxi region.

The tropical storm Maysak brought record rainfall to Guangxi starting on Saturday, breaching reservoirs and leaving locals stranded for days on top of their homes and offices.
More than 10,000 students and teachers were trapped in a cluster of schools in Guigang city on Thursday, northeast of Hengzhou.
Hundreds of animals have also been left stranded or swept out by the rising floodwaters.

One zoo in Guigang said that more than 100 animals were missing, including two zebras, four porcupines and dozens of tropical birds.
An animal shelter operator in Binyang county, northwest of Hengzhou, also struggled in recent days to rescue about 200 cats and dozens of dogs.

We Are Entering the End Times; Don’t Take the Mark of the Beast
July 3, 2026 Categories A - Life in the Spirit e-Newsletter, End Times & WarningsTags christianity, End Times, God, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Last Days, mark of the beast
To the Remnant Bride of Christ and All Who Seek the Truth:
We are entering the end times, soon to be living in the very book of Revelation. Time is short, the days are evil, and the pace of change is accelerating. Not only are there many indications that war is coming to America, which will impact our economy and our lives, but the foundation for the Mark of the Beast is being built before our very eyes.
In I Chronicles 12:32, God commended the men of the tribe of Issachar “who understood the times and knew what Israel should do”. In like manner, we need to understand the times and seek the Lord as to what we should do.
Part I described the war that is coming, Part II addressed how to prepare spiritually, Part III described how we can prepare physically, and Part IV focused on how to prepare for an economic crash. This is Part V, which will describe how the foundation for the Mark of the Beast is being constructed before our very eyes. You can see it here: LifeintheSpirit.net. You won’t want to miss it.
0000 – PART V – We Are Entering the End Times Download
Just as the safest place to be is always in the center of the Lord’s will for our lives, the best preparation is seeking the Lord and following His guidance in all things.
As always, QUESTION EVERYTHING, do your own research, check out these sources, and take these things to the Lord for confirmation, for the Truth shall set us free.
And finally, God created us to be alive at this special time, and to be His witnesses. So let us share the truth and love of Christ with all He brings across our paths, so we may experience the joy of the Lord, which surpasses all human understanding.
Time is short. God is great. Walk with the Lord.
In His love,
Mark

'We Risk Dying for Nothing': Unpaid Health Workers Abandon Congo's Ebola Fight as Death Toll Approaches 600
Healthcare workers in Congo strike over unpaid wages, threatening Ebola containment efforts as the outbreak worsens.
By Thea Felicity
Published 08 July 2026, 2:25 PM BST
Healthcare workers battling the deadly Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo have begun walking off the job over months of unpaid wages, raising fears that the country's response could weaken as the death toll reaches 580.
The strike, which happened in the eastern province of Ituri, comes as health officials warn the virus is spreading faster than containment efforts.
Congo declared its latest Ebola outbreak on 15 May, with the Bundibugyo strain now affecting three eastern provinces. According to the latest government figures, authorities have recorded 1,708 cases, including 580 deaths, making the first month of the outbreak the worst on record. The labour dispute also coincides with the launch of clinical trials for treatments targeting the Bundibugyo virus, adding further pressure to an already stretched public health response.
Congo's Ebola Response Under Pressure as Workers Demand Pay
Doctors, epidemiologists, security personnel, community outreach teams and workers responsible for the safe burial of Ebola victims say they have not received their salaries or promised bonuses since the emergency was declared.
Many also claim they have been expected to continue working despite shortages of protective equipment and deteriorating conditions.
'Since the Ebola virus disease outbreak was declared, we've been demanding payment for our work,' said Dr Biensi Kano, a member of the epidemiological surveillance committee in Bunia, Ituri's provincial capital.
He warned that the prolonged delays have placed enormous strain on workers and their families.
'The non-payment of benefits exposes us and our families to significant socio-economic difficulties and seriously undermines our living conditions,' Kano said.
Over the weekend, workers issued an official notice to national and provincial authorities demanding payment within 24 hours. By Tuesday, some had already stopped reporting for duty, although no formal strike declaration had been issued.
The disruption comes at a particularly delicate stage of the outbreak. The World Health Organization's representative in Congo, Dr Anne Ancia, warned this week that Ebola continues to spread, driven by population movement and ongoing insecurity, while some treatment centres are approaching full capacity.
Growing Frustration on the Front Line
Healthcare workers say the financial uncertainty is only one of several dangers they face. Many have also encountered hostility from communities suspicious of Ebola response teams.
Dr Ben Bakule, a community investigator, recalled narrowly escaping an attack in late May while tracing contacts linked to a confirmed Ebola patient in the village of Tutu in Djugu territory. He said response workers frequently spend their own money travelling to affected communities, despite promises of government support.
'We spend money on transport to get to work. We thought we'd be rewarded. At the moment, nothing is going right because we're not being paid. We don't deserve this sort of treatment,' Bakule said.
His frustration culminated in a stark warning about the risks facing front-line staff.
'We might have to give up our jobs. These are risks we're taking. We risk dying for nothing. This government wants this epidemic to continue,' he added.
Some of that anger spilled into the streets on Monday when workers protested outside the Rwampara Ebola treatment centre, setting tyres alight before police intervened to disperse the demonstration.
Government Acknowledges Complaints
Government officials have acknowledged the payment delays but argue they stem partly from logistical challenges rather than a lack of funding.
Akilimali Pierre, incident manager at Congo's National Institute of Public Health, said the closure of Bunia Airport had complicated the transfer of funds needed to support the outbreak response.
'The fact that Bunia airport is closed is hampering the very implementation of the response, particularly certain aspects of the flow of funds. This is one of the reasons that may account for the delay in payment,' Pierre said.
During a visit to the mining town of Mongbwalu last month, Health Minister Roger Kamba sought to reassure response teams that resources were available.
'All doctors, all nurses and all staff working on the response will be fully supported. We have the money for that,' Kamba said.
Front-line workers insist those assurances have yet to translate into reality.

Iran war takes terrifying turn as missiles bombard NUCLEAR plant and flights are thrown into chaos
By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER
Published: 08:14 EDT, 9 July 2026 | Updated: 04:19 EDT, 10 July 2026
Donald Trump's war has escalated after Tehran retaliated by firing missiles and drones at war-weary US allies in the Middle East, while American strikes bombarded an Iranian nuclear plant.
A day after the President declared the ceasefire 'over' and struck more than 170 regime targets, Kuwait and Bahrain faced fresh Iranian attacks on Thursday morning.
Jordan, a US ally, said five Iranian ballistic missiles were fired from northwestern Iran toward an air base in the country, delaying flights across the region.
Sirens could be heard blasting for civilians to take cover as all Iranian missiles were intercepted, the government says.
Iranian officials claimed that US military strikes sent shrapnel and projectiles slamming into the perimeter of the Bushehr nuclear power plant in southern Iran.
US strikes on Iran over the last 48 hours have targeted Iran's military assets near the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway responsible for one-fifth of the world's oil supply.
Various Iranian air defense systems, drones, regime speed boats, and missile storage sites have been destroyed, according to US Central Command. US officials claim that the strikes are designed to stop Iran from attacking commercial shipping vessels crossing the strait.
Iran's Revolutionary Guard claims it has successfully struck US military bases near the Persian Gulf. The Daily Mail has contacted the Pentagon for comment.
The chaos from the latest US-Iran strikes has delayed the final stage of the funeral procession for slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to the New York Times.
Hundreds of thousands of mourners in recent days have taken to the streets of Tehran to mourn the death of the country's notorious dictator.
Khamenei was set to be buried in his hometown, the holy city of Mashhad, on Thursday, but the burial was delayed as strikes rang out nearby.
Iranian state media also said a railway bridge in the Golestan province had been hit while the Revolutionary Guard reported two bridges had been attacked.
Explosions were also reported in several Gulf nations on Wednesday night, as Iran claimed it attacked US bases in neighboring countries in retaliation.
A spokesman for US Central Command said yesterday: 'US forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief.'
Trump had previewed potential strikes at a NATO summit in Ankara earlier on Wednesday.
'We're gonna hit 'em hard tonight. They violate the agreement every day,' he said.
Trump had said earlier in the day that the latest back-and-forth fighting would not result in 'long-term' military action.
'Anything that happens is going to happen very fast,' Trump said, though he also suggested the U.S. military might 'just finish the job.'
Trump also renewed his past threats to hit Iran's civilian infrastructure, including electric plants and desalination plants, and to seize the oil-production hub of Kharg Island.
The President's move against the regime follows a funeral eulogy for Khamenei in which a state-backed speaker openly called for Trump's death.

Crazed maniac hurls Molotov cocktails at two NYC churches — then goes on profane rant in shocking courtroom outburst
By Joe Marino, Greg Carlton, Patrick Reilly and Amanda Woods
Published July 9, 2026 Updated July 9, 2026, 6:55 p.m. ET
A twisted Queens firebug was busted for allegedly hurling Molotov cocktails at two Queens churches late Wednesday – part of what prosecutors believe was a disturbing seven-incident spree.
Yogesh Sayrange, 36, – who ranted like a madman in federal court on Thursday – admitted to tossing fiery projectiles at the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church in Ozone Park, and the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on in Woodhaven, along with other locations, according to cops and the feds.
“Yea, I f–king firebombed them,” Sayrange allegedly told investigators about a separate bombing of a deli, adding with out explanation: “They’re Muslims, scum and terrorists.”
Mugshot of Yogesh Sayrange.
He he continued his manic, nonsensical rantings as he was hauled into Brooklyn federal court Thursday for arraignment on charges of allegedly tossing another makeshift device at a smoke shop on Fulton Street while wearing a distinct Guy Fawkes mask last week, prosecutors said.
“You’re protecting them, you dumb c–t,” Sayrange seethed at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda. “I’m saying it to this retard here.”
“The government is a criminal syndicate,” he added as the marshal’s handcuffs clicked behind him.
By Thursday, he only faced official charges in the smoke shop crime – but prosecutors say they suspect that he is involved in seven total arsons dating back to June.
Sayrange also allegedly confessed to the June 25 deli arson, identifying himself both with and without the eerie face covering, according to the feds, who are still probing him for all the alleged firebomb attacks.
But the accused arsonist vehemently proclaimed his innocence in court – snapping at Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi, who simply asked him if he understood his rights.
“I don’t stand under you, you stand under me,” Sayrange barked. “You’re making false accusations and asking ‘do I agree with you?” No I don’t.”
Sayrange – a Guyanese citizen who is considered “unauthorized” in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired – was ordered held without bail.
“It’s all fake,” he snapped when prosecutors explained the risks he poses if not held.
“They’re not members of the community, they’re criminal cartels,” Sayrange ranted. “They’re foreign enemies.”
He also directed his rage at prosecutor Ashlyn Miranda.
Disturbing video from Wednesday night shows Sayrange outside the Ozone Park church talking with three other men before he lit the Molotov cocktail and threw it over the gate at the front door.
“Do you want this institution to be turned into a mosque?” Sayrange strangely asked before tossing the cocktail, according to the feds.
The bottle exploded and started a fire as the suspect calmly walked away, the footage shows.
He walked less than a mile to the Jehovah’s Witnesses building and firebombed the building’s front door, which again smashed and sparked a blaze.
FDNY doused the flames at both locations, which were closed, and no serious damage or injuries were reported, cops said.
Investigators later learned that around the same time, the suspect lit a third Molotov cocktail and threw it at an ambulette services building on Rockaway Boulevard near 77th Street in Woodhaven, police said.
No damages or injuries were reported at that location either.The suspect was located by police — who found two additional Molotov cocktails in his bag, prosecutors said.
“I had two more in my bag — I was going to finish the job,” he confessed, according to the feds.
He was taken into custody around 12:10 a.m. Thursday, according to police.
Investigators believe Sayrange mostly targeted houses of worship during his spree that began last month – but commercial locations were also hit, according to law enforcement sources.

Trump directs fresh round of strikes on Iran to hold regime’s forces ‘accountable’
By Zoe Hussain Published July 12, 2026, 7:09 p.m. ET
The US military launched a new barrage of strikes on Iran on Sunday evening to “continue degrading” Tehran’s ability to attack commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
President Trump directed the US Central Command forces to begin the fresh round of strikes around 5 p.m. ET to “hold Iranian forces accountable,” CENTCOM announced in a statement on X.
There is expected to be a “bigger” wave of US attacks on Iranian military targets on Sunday night than the strikes carried out earlier in the day, a US official told the New York Times.
Early reports from Iran’s state media indicated that among the targets of the strikes was a telecommunications tower near the village of Tahroi in Sirik, Hormozgan Province, which borders the Strait of Hormuz, the outlet reported.
The strikes follow an intense bombing campaign led by US forces on 140 targets in the Islamic Republic late Saturday, after Iran attacked a commercial vessel and declared the key oil choke point closed.
The US on Saturday pounded targets including missile and drone sites, naval assets, ammunition storage facilities, communication networks, and surveillance locations, CENTCOM said in a previous statement.
After the round of strikes, Trump insisted the Strait of Hormuz was open — contradicting Tehran’s warnings that the vital route remains closed.
“Yeah, it’s open. We bombed the hell out of them last night,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
In response to the American airstrikes, Iran launched a wide-scale assault against American facilities across the Middle East — escalating a pattern of attacks between the nations and leaving negotiations to end the war on the brink of collapse.
The IRGC said it destroyed a command-and-control center and drone hangars in Jordan, targeted a radar site in Kuwait, attacked aircraft carrier support and refueling platforms in Oman, and struck a jet maintenance center and command base in Qatar.
Other attacks and missile interceptions were reported in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, where the US houses military bases.
Iran and the US have nearly reached the halfway point of the 60 days of their interim deal aimed at reaching a permanent end to the war that began in late February.
Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, vowed that the attacks would persist if the US continued to undermine the country’s control over the economically vital waterway, which oversees 20% of the world’s oil transport.
“The era of one-sided deals is OVER. We told you: keep your word or pay the price. Reality is knocking,” Ghalibaf wrote X.

Earthquake in Frazier Park jolts Southern California early Sunday morning
By Zain Khan Published July 12, 2026, 10:35 a.m. ET
A 4.2-magnitude earthquake rattled Southern California early Sunday, striking 70 miles north of Los Angeles, according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake hit just after 3:30 a.m., with its epicenter located about 1 mile southeast of Frazier Park, a mountain community along the Interstate 5 corridor near the LA County line.
The agency’s ShakeAlert early warning system was activated following the temblor.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
Earthquakes of that size are frequently felt across Southern California, particularly in communities near major fault systems.
The earthquake comes less than three weeks after a magnitude 5.6 temblor struck near Redwood Valley in Mendocino County, knocking out power to thousands of Pacific Gas & Electric customers, triggering a series of aftershocks and causing minor injuries and damage.
That quake, centered about 115 miles northwest of Sacramento, also prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office to monitor the situation, though officials reported no tsunami threat.
Sunday’s earthquake was significantly weaker, but a magnitude 4.2 temblor is still capable of producing noticeable shaking, rattling homes and businesses and causing minor damage near its epicenter, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The latest shaking also comes as scientists continue to warn that Southern California remains vulnerable to a much larger earthquake.
A study published last month found stress levels along two major segments of the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems have reached their highest levels in at least 1,000 years. Researchers said the findings do not mean a major earthquake is imminent, but they reinforce long-standing concerns that the region is primed for what many Californians refer to as “The Big One.”
“We have been lucky in California not to experience a large urban earthquake since 1994 on Northridge,” Ahmed Elbanna, director of the Statewide California Earthquake Center and a professor at the University of Southern California, said. “In order to release the stresses, the stress levels that we are talking about in this study, we need a magnitude 7 or larger earthquake.”
Map highlighting Frazier Park in Southern California.
According to researchers, a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake striking Southern California could affect nearly 24 million people across the Los Angeles metropolitan area and the Inland Empire.
Such a quake would be more than 125 times stronger than the magnitude 5.6 earthquake that struck Northern California in June.
California experiences thousands of earthquakes each year because it sits along the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
While most are too small to be felt, the state’s extensive network of faults — including the San Andreas, San Jacinto and Hayward faults — makes it one of the world’s most seismically active regions.
Historic earthquakes, including the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the 1971 San Fernando earthquake, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake and the 1994 Northridge earthquake, have shaped California’s building codes and emergency preparedness efforts.

If you thought pre-war Iran was a threat, you haven’t seen anything yet
This is an important read: Leading military scholar has studied the body language of crowds turning out at Ayatollah’s funeral and doesn’t like what he sees. Trump acts surprised by funeral turnout.
Leo Hohmann
Jul 06, 2026While Americans were busy celebrating their nation’s 250th anniversary on July 4th, something important was happening 6,000 miles away that went largely unnoticed and lightly reported in the U.S. media. It’s something every American should be aware of.
An estimated 10 to 15 million Iranians turned out over the weekend to mourn at the funeral for the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a revered figure throughout Shia Islam who was killed along with his wife, granddaughter and other family members by a U.S./Israeli missile on Feb. 28.
Here’s one video showing Tehran over the weekend:
Iranians are in no mood to be gracious or polite, says Dr. Robert Pape, an expert on mass psychology in the geo-political realm, especially as it relates to war. They want revenge.
Pape, a professor at the University of Chicago and one of the leading scholars on coercion, military airpower, and political violence, says the Ayatollah’s funeral has shifted the balance of political will in Iran’s favor, four-and-a-half months into the war.
In a podcast interview with At the Water’s Edge, Pape breaks down why wars cannot be won with air power alone and explains how this strategy can actually backfire and stir up anger in a society, while at the same time unifying its will to carry out revenge.
Even President Trump acted surprised by the turnout for the Ayatollah’s funeral.
Trump expressing that he expected the late leader to be widely unpopular.
Trump remarked, “I was shocked. I thought people hated him,” after witnessing the emotional response from mourners.
This shows how detached from reality Trump is due to his propensity to listen to all the wrong people in the realm of foreign policy.
While you will find plenty of Americans who look at the above videos and say it’s all propaganda and Iranians were either coerced or paid to come out and publicly appear mournful, I find that to be a hard sell.
As Pape points out, the crowds were so large that they could have steered their anger at the regime. There’s no way 100,000 IRGC troops, if they even had that many nearby, could have killed 10 million people if they decided to unleash their fury against the Iranian government.
The crowds of people in Tehran made China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square protests look paltry by comparison.
What the U.S. did was use military air power to inflict misery on the Iranian population. In such a scenario, even those Iranians who hated their government began to hate the U.S. and Israel even more. This is common sense among those who study mass psychology and how it is influenced by war-time scenarios. Apparently, no one with any access to this knowledge was allowed to speak with President Trump before he decided to launch his war on Iran.
“Punishment doesn’t work,” Pape said, explaining what’s really happening inside Trump’s inner circle, and why he thinks Iran is trying to wreck the Trump presidency rather than cut a peace deal with Washington.
In essence, Trump has kicked a hornet’s nest and opened Pandora’s box.
And the ramifications going forward will play out for years to come in ways Americans will not be able to imagine right now.
In the video interview below, Professor Pape delves into what the funeral turnout really signals about Iranian public opinion. He says Iranian society has been traumatized, similar to the way the U.S. was traumatized after the 9/11 attacks, only times that by a factor of at least four. This is a must-watch interview for those wanting to grasp the full consequences of Washington’s foolhardy move of attacking Iran, a move that I believe will ultimately prove to be detrimental to both the United States and Israel.
Professor Pape discusses how a traumatized nation is likely to respond going forward. One thing to watch for is how Iran, having survived the initial traumatic scenario, is now collectively emboldened to seek retribution, not just militarily but economically.
Leo’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
Pape’s believes the will of the Iranian people just shifted. He explains why Iran is rejecting the financial sweeteners offered by Trump’s New York real estate investors posing as diplomats, that being Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Pape believes airpower and blockades rarely break a nation’s will, and explains why he expects Trump to face pressure to escalate the war as soon as August.

CLAIM: SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL IS BRAIN DEAD AFTER HEART ATTACK
Hal Turner Nation July 06, 2026 Hits: 20954
A single, as-yet-unverified report has come out indicating Senator Mitch McConnell, long time Senate Leader, is Brain Dead in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home weeks ago.
There is also word that McConnel's wife, Elaine Chao, flew to Beijing just days after McConnell was hospitalized, and met with China's Vice President, Han Zheng!
Why would the Chinese wife of a long-time, and very important U.S. Senator, fly to Beijing and meet with China's Vice-President, while her Senator husband is fighting for his life in a hospital?
IS FORMER US TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY ELAINE CHAO AN AGENT OF CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY?
• The core facts are accurate: Mitch McConnell was found unconscious at his D.C. home on June 14, 2026, and hospitalized (reports indicate possible cardiac arrest); three days later on June 17, his wife Elaine Chao, a private citizen and former U.S. Transportation Secretary, met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng in Beijing, as confirmed by Chinese state media like Xinhua and People’s Daily.
• Family business context exists: The Chao family owns Foremost Group, a shipping company with significant historical ties to China; this has drawn past scrutiny over potential conflicts during Chao’s government service, though she is no longer in office and the meeting was framed around U.S.-China relations and people-to-people exchanges.
• The corruption implication is speculative: No public evidence shows illegal activity in this specific trip, but the timing—while McConnell remains hospitalized—has fueled widespread questions and conspiracy theories online about priorities and influence, amplified by long-standing political debates over China ties.

Microsoft lays off 4,800 employees, including 600 in Washington
Jul 6, 2026, 7:33 AM | Updated: 7:55 am
BY FRANK SUMRALL
My
Northwest Lead EditorMicrosoft laid off 4,800 employees Monday, including 600 in Washington, where the company is headquartered (Redmond).
The cuts impacted roles across sales, consulting, and the Xbox gaming division. The layoffs accounted for approximately 2.1% of its workforce.
Amy Coleman, the executive vice president and chief people officer for Microsoft, said in an internal memo to employees, according to GeekWire, that the layoffs are a consequence of the “changing technology industry” and the “need to adjust resources and roles and shift how we operate” to respond to AI’s impact on the company.
“I also want to be direct that the roles eliminated today are not being replaced by AI,” the memo read, according to GeekWire. “At the same time, what is true is that AI is changing how work gets done.”
Microsoft employs roughly 220,000 people across the globe. The company eliminated approximately 15,000 positions just last year — 6,000 layoffs in May 2025 and another 9,000 layoffs in July 2025.
Roughly 1,600 of the 4,800 job cuts were a part of the company’s Xbox division, with more Xbox layoffs to come in the next few months. According to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, this is a part of the biggest restructuring in the gaming console’s history.
Microsoft’s layoffs came promptly after its fiscal year ended on June 30.
Xbox faces thousands of layoffs this summer as new CEO orders gaming division ‘reset’
Microsoft’s Xbox division is undergoing significant layoffs this summer as the gaming department undergoes a “reset.”
This video file cannot be played. (Error Code: 102630)
First reported by Bloomberg, Xbox is expected to lose 3,200 jobs in total — 20% of the department’s workforce — including 1,600 jobs Monday.
The reports of upcoming layoffs come just months after Asha Sharma became the latest CEO of Xbox in February. Xbox executives stated that it has invested more than $20 billion over the past five years, while revenue has declined by approximately half a billion. According to Sharma, Xbox needs to rethink its portfolio in the coming weeks and months.
A significant portion of Xbox’s employees work at the Microsoft campus in Redmond. It is unknown how many Puget Sound-area employees will be affected by the upcoming layoffs, as of this reporting.

When the Pentagon made Palantir’s Maven Smart System a formal “program of record” in March, it did more than approve software.
It gave long-term status to a platform that analyzes data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors, and intelligence reports to identify potential targets. Maven supported almost all of the 13,500 US strikes in Iran. The designation is meant to secure funding and extend its use across the military.
That decision came while the United States was still investigating the February 28 strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls’ school in Minab, Iran. An initial US military inquiry found that US forces were likely responsible, but the Pentagon has not released a final public conclusion.
Iranian authorities have reported between 155 and more than 175 deaths, most of them students and teachers. The question is why a military system designed to move faster from information to action has no equally clear public requirement to slow down after grave civilian harm.
In software engineering, an “error budget” is meant to protect users. When a service exceeds an agreed level of failure, new releases stop until the problem is understood and fixed. War is obviously not software.
But in Washington’s AI-assisted operations, civilian deaths do not automatically trigger a temporary suspension of the relevant tools, an independent review of the data, or a public account of the decisions that led to the strike.
Advocates of military AI argue that better data and faster analysis can make attacks more precise. That is possible in principle. But precision is not something software simply possesses. It depends on the quality and age of the data, what a system treats as suspicious, and whether people have enough time to challenge its output.
AI does not turn stale or biased information into truth. It can make bad information travel faster.
Human Rights Watch has warned that Israeli digital tools used in Gaza relied on incomplete data and inexact estimates that could raise the risk of civilian harm. The lesson is not that every use of AI is unlawful. It is that speed can magnify the consequences of a bad premise before anyone can catch it.
The familiar assurance that a “human remains in the loop” does not solve this problem. A person who sees only a final recommendation, cannot inspect the data trail, and has seconds rather than hours to decide is not exercising meaningful independent judgment.
AI can shape lethal force without pulling a trigger. It can determine what appears urgent, which people or places rise to the top of a list, and which facts never appear at all.
The Iran campaign makes this concern immediate. Maven and Anthropic’s Claude were used to process classified intelligence, suggest coordinates, rank targets, and turn planning that once took weeks into real-time operations. That does not establish that AI independently chose every target or that every AI-supported strike was unlawful.
Reuters later reported that Palantir faced the task of removing Anthropic technology from Maven. But the larger point remains: the Pentagon is institutionalizing systems built to compress the time for human deliberation before force is used.
The Minab tragedy represents the human cost of treating speed as a virtue in itself. The school had a public website, posted student photographs, and was visible in satellite imagery. It also reported that targeting officials appeared to have used outdated intelligence.
The exact role of AI in the strike has not been disclosed. But information apparently did not distinguish the school clearly enough from the adjacent military compound, and the Pentagon has not publicly explained how that failure traveled through the targeting process. That is an accountability problem, not just a technical one.
Congress should establish a civilian stop rule for AI-assisted targeting. Credible evidence of grave civilian harm should trigger a temporary suspension of the relevant system in comparable missions, an independent review of the data and approval process, and a public explanation of the system’s role.
This would not treat every civilian casualty as proof of a crime or ban every military use of AI. It would mean families do not have to wait through months of secrecy to learn whether a database, a contractor, or a command decision helped turn a civilian site into a target.
Congress has begun to consider broader guardrails. The House Armed Services Committee’s FY2027 defense bill would direct the Pentagon to extend its AI policy to systems that support or materially influence operational planning, target development, weaponeering, and engagement recommendations.
That is a start. But it is not a civilian stop rule. It does not automatically pause a system after a devastating incident or guarantee a public answer.
Such a rule would reinforce the law of war. Customary international humanitarian law requires militaries to take all feasible precautions to verify targets and reduce foreseeable civilian harm. It also requires them to cancel or suspend attacks when it becomes clear that a target is not military or an attack would be unlawful.
The Red Cross has recommended after-action reviews and re-testing or suspending AI systems when reliability, safety, or legal compliance concerns emerge. Recent scholarship points in the same direction.
Renato Wolf emphasizes precaution throughout AI-assisted target verification, while Jessica Dorsey warns that over-reliance on computational systems can weaken the human judgment needed to protect civilians. If an AI-enabled process makes verification harder because it rewards speed, the problem is a failure to meet an existing legal duty.
Palantir can say it supplies the platform. The Pentagon can say software only supports decisions. An operator can say the data arrived already ranked.
But people grieving outside a destroyed school are left with no clear answer about who is accountable. Until Washington creates a publicly disclosed civilian stop rule, “precision warfare” will remain a technical phrase that conceals a political choice: to accelerate force without a meaningful way to stop, inspect and answer for its failures.

Deadly Floods Batter China As Super Typhoon Threat Looms
Wednesday, July 8, 2026 |
by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International Correspondent
BEIJING (Worthy News) – China faced mounting challenges Wednesday after flooding killed at least 17 people and injured hundreds in the country’s south and center, while scientists warned the devastation could spread to other provinces with the approach of Super Typhoon Bavi.
As rescue workers raced to search for survivors, some scientists warned that “extreme weather” is likely to become more frequent this year, while others argued that rapid urbanization in flood-prone areas, inadequate infrastructure, and other factors have also contributed to the scale of the disaster
The expected weather systems are set to test the resilience of densely populated cities and rural communities across the world’s second-largest economy, home to more than 1.4 billion people.

China’s National Climate Center expects up to six typhoons to form in the Northwest Pacific and South China Sea this month, well above the average of 3.8. Up to three are forecast to make landfall, compared with the usual 1.8, while forecasters warned this year’s storms are likely to be stronger than normal.
The latest disaster began after Typhoon Maysak swept across southern China, triggering widespread flooding, landslides, thunderstorms, and rare inland tornadoes.
THOUSANDS DISPLACED
State media said more than 130,000 people have been evacuated and hundreds of thousands affected. In Guangxi province, floodwaters submerged homes after rivers burst their banks and reservoir dams failed, leaving many residents stranded on rooftops awaiting rescue.
“The floods happened so rapidly, the water just came so fast. The villagers didn’t have time to take food with them when they were running away,” a resident identified only by her surname, Zhou, told reporters.
Another resident, Huang, said floodwaters engulfed her village within minutes. “We simply couldn’t rescue everyone in time. There were too few rescue personnel, and the lifeboats they brought were too small,” she said, adding that many families had also lost electricity and communications.
Chinese President Xi Jinping ordered what state media described as “all-out” rescue and relief operations, urging authorities to treat the injured, relocate displaced residents, and strengthen disaster prevention efforts.
SUPER TYPHOON APPROACHES
Authorities also warned that continued heavy rain could hamper rescue operations as rivers remain swollen and reservoirs stay under pressure.
The warning came as Super Typhoon Bavi, packing sustained winds of more than 290 kilometers (180 miles) per hour, was forecast to approach China’s eastern coast later this week, raising fears of renewed flooding, landslides, and further loss of life.
Benjamin Horton, dean of the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong, warned that increasingly destructive weather events leave little time for communities to recover.
“The magnitude of the events is increasing, and there is no time to recover and become resilient,” he said, warning that more powerful cyclones could bring unprecedented rainfall, flooding, and crop damage later this year.
Whether driven primarily by climate change or rapid development in vulnerable areas, the latest disasters underscored China’s growing struggle to cope with increasingly destructive weather as millions brace for another powerful storm.

Iran spurns U.S. offer of frozen assets, insists Strait of Hormuz remains under Tehran's command
By Benjamin Clark, July 6, 2026
The Trump administration offered Iran access to billions of dollars in frozen overseas funds if Tehran would drop its demand to toll ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Iran said no, and its deputy foreign minister flew home from Doha to declare the waterway "under Iran's command."
The rejection, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, landed after a week of indirect talks in Qatar between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, White House adviser Jared Kushner, and Iranian representatives communicating through Qatari mediators. The talks were meant to advance a memorandum of understanding Washington and Tehran reached last month. Instead, they exposed just how far apart the two sides remain on the most consequential chokepoint in global energy.
Iran wants to charge vessels for passage through the strait. The U.S. and Gulf Arab nations have flatly refused. And while American negotiators dangled a share of roughly $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets, including $6 billion held in Qatar, Tehran chose leverage over cash.
A waterway in crisis
The numbers tell the story of what Iran's posture has already cost global commerce. Before the conflict began on February 28, more than 100 ships transited the Strait of Hormuz each day, carrying roughly one-fifth of the world's oil supply. By last week, that figure had dropped to 75 ships a day. By Wednesday, it was down to 43.
That collapse in traffic reflects the threat behind Iran's words. The regime's military warned that any vessel traveling outside routes approved by Tehran would face an "immediate and powerful" response. That is not the language of a government interested in compromise. It is the language of a tollbooth enforced at gunpoint.
Iran's proposed fee scheme could generate as much as $40 billion annually, a staggering revenue stream for a regime whose economy has been strangled by sanctions for years. Tehran frames the fees as payment for "maritime security and related services", services the international community never asked for and does not want.
International law says no
Iran's toll gambit has drawn opposition from well beyond Washington. The United Nations' International Maritime Organization stated plainly that no international agreement permits tolls on international straits, warning that any such toll would set "a dangerous precedent." Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, representing the world's leading shipping power, called the proposal "completely unacceptable."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has been equally direct. "It's an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway. That's existing international law," Rubio stated. The memorandum of understanding itself contains a clause forbidding tolls for 60 days, a provision Iran interprets as permission to impose them once that window closes. The U.S. rejects that reading entirely.
President Trump addressed the dispute on Truth Social: "There will be NO TOLLS in the Hormuz Strait for 60 days during the Cease Fire Period, and there will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired."
The interpretive gap between Washington and Tehran over a single clause in their own agreement captures the fragility of the broader diplomatic effort, a fragility that has drawn skepticism from within the Republican base about whether any deal with Iran can hold.
The Oman alternative, and why it failed too
Oman, which shares jurisdiction over part of the Strait of Hormuz, floated a compromise: a voluntary fund financed by oil producers and shipping companies that would pay for shipping services without requiring direct toll payments to Iran. On paper, it was a face-saving off-ramp.
Neither side took it. Iran objected because the plan would not require direct toll payments, meaning Tehran would lose the leverage and the revenue stream it covets. U.S. officials, meanwhile, expressed concerns that even a voluntary fund could be viewed as indirectly benefiting the Iranian regime.
Gulf Cooperation Council nations rejected Iran's toll proposal outright. Oman itself turned down Iran's proposal to split control of the strait, leaving Tehran without a single regional partner willing to back its tollbooth scheme. Former Pentagon official Alex Plitsas offered a blunt assessment of why: "Iran's strategy of attacking GCC states as it means to put pressure on the United States absolutely backfired and set relations back with their Gulf neighbors by decades."

Frozen assets and selective 'friendships'
The $100 billion in frozen assets the U.S. put on the table represents a significant economic lifeline for Iran. The $6 billion held in Qatar alone would dwarf many of the regime's accessible revenue sources. Yet Tehran chose to hold out for the toll revenue, a bet that it can sustain control of the strait long enough to force the world to pay up.
That bet looks increasingly reckless. The Treasury Department has already warned American shippers that paying Iran's toll could trigger sanctions. The advisory stated that "U.S. persons and U.S.-owned or -controlled foreign entities are generally prohibited under U.S. sanctions from engaging in transactions with the Government of Iran." Iran reportedly imposed a $1-per-barrel fee on tankers, with some ships paying up to $2 million in tolls, transactions the U.S. government now treats as potential sanctions violations.
Iran has also tried to play favorites. Tehran designated five "friend" nations, India, China, Russia, Iraq, and Pakistan, that supposedly receive free passage while others face threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Iran's ambassador to India denied charging Indian ships any toll at all, telling reporters, "You can ask the Indian government if we have charged anything up to now." That denial sat awkwardly alongside President Trump's accusation of extortion and his order to the U.S. Navy to interdict vessels that have paid tolls to Iran.
The selective "friendship" system reveals the toll scheme for what it is: not a maritime-services arrangement, but a geopolitical sorting mechanism designed to reward allies and punish adversaries.
Leverage Tehran cannot sustain
Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and North Africa program at Chatham House in London, framed Iran's calculus in terms that should worry anyone counting on a negotiated resolution:
"Iran is trying to open the strait on its own terms and does not want to relinquish what leverage it has gained."
But Vakil also identified the fundamental weakness in Tehran's position: "Tehran can disrupt the strait more easily than it can sustainably administer it." Disruption is cheap. Administration requires legitimacy, infrastructure, and international cooperation, none of which Iran possesses.
MORE: Trump Accounts officially launch, putting investment dollars in the hands of American children
The administration has shown willingness to explore military options when diplomacy stalls. Earlier in the conflict, Trump halted a planned strike on Iran at the request of Gulf allies who wanted to give negotiations more time. That restraint was not open-ended, and Iran's rejection of the asset-release offer narrows the diplomatic runway further.
The broader pattern of Iranian intransigence extends beyond the strait. Tehran has balked at nuclear talks as well, and the memorandum of understanding that was supposed to provide a framework for progress now looks like a document both sides interpret in fundamentally incompatible ways.
The Doha talks produced no announced outcomes beyond Gharibabadi's defiant declaration. Whether additional rounds of negotiations are scheduled remains unclear. The Wall Street Journal report, sourced to people familiar with the negotiations, left open questions about who specifically authorized the asset-release offer and what, if any, conditions Iran might accept short of full toll authority.
What Iran chose, and what it means
Iran had a clear off-ramp in Doha. Billions in frozen funds, a path back toward economic relief, and a framework already agreed to in principle. Tehran rejected all of it in favor of a toll scheme that the United Nations calls unlawful, that Gulf neighbors refuse to support, and that the U.S. Treasury treats as a sanctions violation.
Meanwhile, the tensions have also strained relationships closer to home. Trump has navigated simmering tensions with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over the Iran deal, and congressional debates over war powers have grown heated as the conflict drags on.
The daily ship count through the Strait of Hormuz, from over 100 before February 28, to 75 last week, to 43 on Wednesday, is not an abstraction. It represents real cargo, real fuel, and real costs passed along to consumers and businesses worldwide. Every day the strait stays throttled, the economic damage compounds.
Iran chose a tollbooth over a lifeline. The question now is how long the world will let Tehran stand in the road.

The Feds Just Told Utilities to Assume the Enemy Is Inside the Grid and You Should Plan Accordingly
Jul 04, 2026
In the predawn hours of January 3, the lights went out across Caracas. No transmission towers were bombed and no power lines were severed. The blackout was accomplished through precise manipulation of the industrial control systems that manage the flow of electricity, synchronized with the American operation that pulled Nicol
ás Maduro out of his palace and, as ZeroHedge reported, onto a plane bound for an American courtroom. A capital city of millions went dark because someone, somewhere, typed the right commands.That was a preview. Five months later, on May 5, the federal government quietly told every power company, water utility, and pipeline operator in America to plan as though the same thing could happen here. Not as a thought experiment. As a baseline operating assumption.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency calls the initiative CI Fortify, and buried in its bureaucratic language is one of the most remarkable admissions Washington has ever made. Operators are instructed to assume that in a conflict scenario, third-party connections such as telecommunications, internet, vendors, and service providers will be unreliable, and that threat actors will already have some access to their operational technology networks. Read that again. The agency responsible for defending American infrastructure is telling the people who run that infrastructure to plan as if the enemy is already inside, the phones are dead, and nobody is coming to help.
What Washington Just Admitted
For years, the official posture on grid vulnerability treated catastrophic cyberattack as a tail risk, something to model in academic papers and war games while assuring the public that layered defenses would hold. CI Fortify abandons that posture. The guidance instructs operators to identify their most critical customers, such as nearby military bases, and to maintain business continuity plans that allow safe operation in a fully isolated state for weeks to months. Recovery planning includes practicing the replacement of destroyed systems and the transition to manual operations in case isolation fails and components are rendered inoperable.
Acting CISA Director Nick Andersen said utilities must be able to “isolate vital systems from harm, continue operating in that isolated state” and recover whatever an adversary manages to compromise. The agency has already begun targeted assessments under a pilot phase, prioritizing infrastructure that serves military installations. Pilot assessments are not what an agency does about a hypothetical. They are what an agency does about a threat it believes is real, near, and inadequately answered.
The obvious question follows. If the federal government believes the utilities serving your home should be prepared to operate for weeks or months while compromised and cut off from the outside world, what does it believe about the homes at the end of those wires? The guidance never says, because that is not CISA’s lane. But the logic does not stop at the substation fence.
Three Continents, One Target
This guidance did not appear in a vacuum. It arrived after six months of grid attacks that spanned three continents and three entirely different methods.
On April 7, six federal agencies including the FBI, NSA, and Department of Energy issued a joint advisory confirming that Iranian-affiliated hackers had disrupted programmable logic controllers deployed across multiple American critical infrastructure sectors, including energy, water, and local government facilities, with some victims suffering operational disruption and financial loss. These are not warnings about what Iran might attempt. The advisory describes what Iranian actors already did, inside American systems, during an active shooting war.
In late December, hackers linked to Russian intelligence penetrated operational technology systems across Poland’s electrical grid, targeting wind farms, solar installations, and the remote terminal units that connect distributed generation sites to control centers. The attackers entered through vulnerable internet-facing edge devices and deployed wiper malware that damaged operational technology, nearly crippling power in part of the country during a period of severe cold.
And in Berlin, no code was needed at all. On the same January morning Caracas went dark, arsonists set fire to a single cable bridge in the Lichterfelde district, knocking out power to more than 40,000 households and 2,000 businesses. Full restoration took four days, the longest outage the city had experienced since 1945. One fire. Four days. A left-wing extremist group claimed the attack as a protest against fossil fuels, which tells you something about how cheaply and ideologically motivated grid sabotage has become.
Iranian hackers, Russian military intelligence, and homegrown radicals with a gas can. Different actors, different tools, identical target. The pattern is not subtle, and CISA clearly noticed.
The Split-Reality Problem
What makes the cyber variant of this threat uniquely dangerous is that operators may not know it is happening until the damage is done. Security researchers have demonstrated malware that intercepts legitimate operator commands and replaces them with malicious instructions, rapidly opening and closing circuit breakers in a technique that can physically destroy transformers and generators by overheating them or forcing them out of sync. Simultaneously, the malware calculates what normal sensor readings should look like and feeds those fabricated values back to the control room, so operators see green lights and stable voltage even as equipment burns in the physical world.
Large power transformers are not sitting on shelves waiting to be installed. Replacement timelines run to months, and much of the manufacturing capacity sits overseas. An attack that destroys hardware rather than merely disrupting software breaks every restoration assumption the old preparedness models were built on. The two-week pantry was designed for hurricanes, where mutual-aid crews pour in from neighboring states and the lights come back in days. It was not designed for an adversary who destroys the machines that make restoration possible while blinding the people who would order it.
The Paranoid Were Right on Schedule
There is a rich irony here worth savoring. For two decades, the people who stored water, kept generators fueled, and asked pointed questions about grid fragility were the media’s favorite punchline, wild-eyed characters good for a condescending cable segment between celebrity news and weather. Now the federal government has issued formal guidance built on the preppers’ exact premise, that the systems sustaining modern life can fail suddenly, at scale, by hostile design, and that the only rational response is to prepare before it happens. Nobody at CISA will phrase it that way, but CI Fortify is a preparedness doctrine. The government simply reserves the vindication for institutions while the citizens who reached the same conclusion years earlier are still waiting for their apology.
Scripture records that when Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s walls under threat of attack, he did not choose between faith and vigilance. He exercised both at once.
Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. (Nehemiah 4:9)
Prayer and a posted watch. Trust in God and a hand on the trowel and the sword. That has always been the biblical model of preparedness, and it is precisely the posture this moment calls for. Not panic, which is faithless, and not passivity, which is presumption, but sober watchfulness.
The Household Version of CISA’s Question
The core question CISA now puts to every utility is simple. How long can you operate without external connectivity? Every family should ask the household version of the same question and answer it honestly.
Water. Municipal pressure depends on electric pumps. A grid-down event of weeks means stored water and a means of purifying more, at a gallon per person per day as the bare floor.
Refrigerated medications. Insulin and other temperature-sensitive prescriptions are the quiet catastrophe in every extended outage. Talk to your pharmacist now about buffer supplies and non-powered cooling options.
Communications. Cell networks degrade within hours of grid loss. A battery or hand-crank radio, and ideally a family plan for where to meet when phones are useless, costs almost nothing today and everything later.
Heat and cooling. Match your plan to your climate and season. The Polish attack was timed to a cold snap for a reason.
Cash. Card readers, ATMs, and payment apps are all grid appliances. Small bills on hand will buy what plastic cannot.
Duration. Retire the 72-hour mindset. If federal planners are telling utilities to prepare for weeks to months of isolated operation, the prudent household target is thirty days minimum, built toward ninety as budget allows.
None of this requires a bunker or a second mortgage. It requires taking the government at its word, which is a novel experience, but a warranted one in this case. Washington has told the utilities that the enemy may already be inside the grid and that no cavalry is guaranteed. The watchman who hears that and fills his water barrels is not the crazy one. He is the only one paying attention.

Paul Strand
07-03-2026
The 4th of July makes us think of our independence and freedoms. And legal battles in recent years over religious liberty in the U.S.A. raise serious questions about the freedom to worship in America. So when our Founders came up with the First Amendment, were they trying to keep the government free from religion, or religion free from government?
These days, the phrase "wall of separation between church and state" has come to mean keeping God or His believers from having a big effect on government and public life. But that’s far, far from what the Founding Fathers were thinking of when they were separating church and state.
Fear of an All-Powerful State Church Wed to the Power of the Government
They were afraid of what so many of the Old World countries had: a religion established by the state as its one true religion, that would tyrannically rule over the faith and conscience of every citizen.
As the Providence Forum’s Peter Lillback put it, “They recognized having a monolithic church was a dangerous thing.” That's because it made the king not only their physical sovereign but also their all-powerful spiritual ruler.
Before the Pilgrims fled England, Wallbuilders' David Barton recalled, “The Pilgrims’ pastor was executed because he made the statement that Jesus Christ is head of the church. And the monarch said, ‘Oh no, I’m the head of the church. You’re dead.’”
Wouldn't Allow a Church of America Like the Brits Had the Church of England
Knowing of such terror and tyranny, AmericanMinute.com historian William Federer explained how the Founders felt: "Their big fear was the federal government was going to follow the blueprint of every country in Europe and pick one national denomination."
So what they meant by saying in the First Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" was that the federal government was banned from creating – or "establishing" – a national religion with the national government wedded to it.
"They didn't want to have a national, established Church of America like you have the Church of England, forcing people to believe something that they didn't believe in," said Jerry Newcombe, host of the radio program "Vocal Point".
“What they said was, 'We don't want a state church here. Consciously, therefore, they were separating the church from government," Lillback said.
But that was strictly to protect the churches and each believer’s faith and conscience from the government.
All About Protecting Each American's Conscience and Freedom to Believe
Not only did the First Amendment say, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion," but it also said, "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
"What they wanted was the freedom that we have in the Bible: the rights of conscience," Barton said. "And they didn't want the state telling us how we could or couldn't practice our faith."
Lillback said the Founders keeping government control away from faith meant, "Each of us has a right to be who we are before God. It has been well said and it's a classic statement of religious liberty that man is not free unless he is free on the inside. We have to have the freedom to believe what we believe. That's what the First Amendment protects."
'God: He's on Both Sides of the Wall'
And that’s what Christian historian Eddie Hyatt explained Thomas Jefferson was talking about when he wrote the letter that first used the famous "wall of separation" phrase to a group of worried Baptists.
"He said that the First Amendment had erected a wall of separation that would protect them from any intrusion of the government," Hyatt stated. "In Jefferson's mind, the wall of separation was a uni-directional wall, put there to keep the government out of the church; not to keep the influence of the church out of the government."
There was no antipathy towards the Lord in all of this, Lillback insisted, saying, “But the idea of God: He’s on both sides of the wall. And He’s welcome there. And He should be.”
The Government Is Reaching Over that Wall, Bossing Around People of Faith
But today, there's been a complete flip.
Lillback said, “Those who once believed in this really high and impregnable wall of church and state, we now see the government reaching over that wall and saying, ‘but don’t preach that text of scripture.’”
Barton added, “All of a sudden the government’s regulating religious activities, which is what Jefferson said they would not do because of separation of church and state.”
Hyatt lamented, “The Founders would be so distressed to see how that statement has been turned on its head.”
As Newcombe explained, "They absolutely did not mean the separation of God and government, which is what's often being practiced today."
No One 'Under Government,' but Each One 'Under God'
Lillback encourages Americans to remember what the nation's Founders intended.
“This is a theistic government. So God was not separated from government," he insisted. "So any interpretation of the First Amendment that takes God out of government is turning the whole story on its head. Rather it was taking a formal state church out of the equation, leaving it up to each individual. But all, as we still say, 'under God.' That was the view of our Founders."
They believed a nation based on liberty could only stay free if its citizens were godly people. As Barton pointed out, believers in God have their eyes on eternity, and it makes them practice self-control.
Knowing You'll Answer to God Makes You Govern Yourself
"When you’re God-conscious, you realize, ‘ya know, I’m going to have to answer to Him for what I do,’ and it limits my bad behavior," Barton stated.
Newcombe added, “That’s something the Founders believed very strongly: that we’re going to be accountable before God.”
Hyatt said of those Founders, "They knew that they were creating a nation for a free people, but also for a virtuous people who would govern themselves from within."
You need very little police power if people, because of conscience, will police themselves.
Green Bean Control Laws?
"Self-control is what you need," Barton explained. "We can pass all the control laws we want. But unless you control the heart, you'll never control behavior. I mean, I can kill somebody with a can of green beans. What are we going to do? Pass green bean control laws if somebody does that? No. It's on the inside."
And the Founders knew to keep America true and free, they also needed the perfect law of a loving, all-wise God.
As Lillback put it, “There was a clear understanding that the government needed to have an ultimate check and balance, even beyond the people that ran it and their elections. And that is the transcendent law of God. And so that is why when we look at our Declaration of Independence, there are four references to Deity.”
Going through the Declaration, Lillback laid them out: "'We're endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights.' The laws of God and nature. And it tells us there's an appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world. And, finally, a dependence on the Providence of God. Four references to Deity."
Not Godless at All
But then came the US Constitution, which some say is a godless document because God isn’t mentioned in it. As soon as they were done with it, though, the Founders called for a day of Thanksgiving to God.
"They were not thinking 'let's get rid of God,'" Lillback stated. "They said, 'We have been given now a new Constitution, and now amendments that give us our freedoms. And where do we turn? We turn to heaven and thank God for this.'"
"Now, if their intent was to get rid of God from government, boy did they miss their point," Lillback said. "Because they turned around and thanked Him for everything that they had. It shows the utter historical absurdity of 'the godless Constitution'."
Constitution's Last Words Reference Christ
And God isn’t really absent from the Constitution or its authors’ lives.
“They are not godless," Lillback insisted. "They are people who, at the very end of their work, said, ‘In the year of our Lord, 1787.’ The very last words in the Constitution are a reference to Jesus Christ.”
He concluded, “It’s no surprise then that the ultimate motto is We are One Nation Under God.”

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time
By
Katie HuntScientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of made-to-order organisms that function like living machines.
Kate Adamala, a synthetic biologist and professor at the University of Minnesota, and her team constructed the cell piece by piece from nonliving chemical components. The creation is a limited and fragile prototype, but it could help scientists better understand the origins of life and could potentially be programmed to help mitigate some of the world’s biggest biological problems. The cell is nonspecific — neither plant nor animal — but most closely resembles a simple bacterium.
“I know the full ingredient list of the cell, I know exactly what chemicals, what molecules at what concentrations,” she said. “It is fully defined, which means we can engineer it.”
Scientists have for decades bioengineered natural cells to solve human problems.
A famous example is how human insulin genes can be inserted into E. coli bacterial cells to manufacture insulin and treat diabetes. Scientists argue synthetic cells are the next frontier; they could potentially lead to the development of new cancer treatments and novel ways to capture carbon or manufacture chemicals.Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life, but they are far from simple. The human body has 37 trillion cells, more than the number of stars in the sky, and scientists still don’t know how every different cell type works or what exactly they contain.
The synthetic cell that Adamala and her colleagues built was not “life created in the lab” but a “genuine milestone on the road to toward that question,” said Yuval Elani, an associate professor in biochemical technologies at Imperial College London, who was not involved in the work.
“Building a cell from scratch means you are no longer tied to the constraints and evolutionary baggage of natural biology. It opens up the possibility of designing systems and programming them to do things that living cells may not do easily, or may not do at all,” Elani said.
“To my mind, this is a real advance in the long-running effort to ask whether chemistry can be organized so convincingly that we begin to call it life.”
The field of synthetic biology is separate from stem cell research in which scientists reprogram and manipulate existing cells derived from biological resources.
‘An incredibly wimpy organism’
Adamala named her creation “SpudCell,” partly as a joke because she didn’t want it named after herself. It’s also a play on Sputnik, the Russian satellite that launched the space age in the 1950s
“We’re hoping we’re really starting the true age of bioeconomy, enabling technology that will let people engineer biology,” she said.
On Wednesday, Adamala and her colleagues made public the scientific paper detailing how SpudCell works, although the research has not been published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Adamala said it would be submitted for publication this week. Along with two other scientists, Drew Endy and Jan Jedryszek, and biotech entrepreneur Chris Raggio, Adamala founded a public-benefit institution called Biotic that hopes to advance the capabilities of the synthetic cell by making it available to other researchers.
Made up of 150 to 200 molecules, SpudCell feeds, grows and replicates for about five generations, according to Adamala. It is far less complex than a biological cell that holds millions, if not billions, of molecules.
Adamala described SpudCell as “an incredibly wimpy organism that right now basically does nothing other than to eat and occasionally make a daughter cell.” Each generation requires feeding and takes roughly 12 hours to replicate at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). By comparison, E. coli divides every 30 minutes.
The synthetic cell’s genome is far smaller than that of a natural cell, with 90,000 base pairs. (E. coli’s genome has 4.6 million base pairs.) While it can replicate like a natural cell, the synthetic cell deploys a different mechanism. A natural cell uses a cytoskeleton, a structural framework that SpudCell lacks. The synthetic cell, by contrast, produces proteins, which crowd at the membrane, forcing it to split.
SpudCell is also unable to make its own ribosomes, key parts of a natural cell that make proteins. Instead, it uses E. coli ribosomes that are supplied through feeding.
“It’s just the beginning,” Adamala said. “It’s a chassis that we’re hoping to build on, and that’s significant, because now we actually can have some reasonable idea of how to build on it.”
Elani said the synthetic cell doesn’t exactly mimic a natural cell — but that isn’t necessarily a flaw. “Some of these life-like behaviours are achieved by mechanisms quite unlike those used in biology,” he said via email. “This matters, because synthetic biology is not always about imitation. Sometimes it allows us to do things differently, and to take shortcuts.”
Other scientists not involved in the research described the work as an exciting advancement. SpudCell straddles the line between a “pile of chemicals and a naturally evolved cell in nature,” said Elizabeth Strychalski, a group leader at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Cellular Engineering Group. She called the research “important and impressive,” saying it would be “tremendously useful.”
Tom Ellis, a professor of synthetic genome engineering at Imperial College London, described the cell as “probably the biggest breakthrough in recent times in the synthetic cell field.”
“Making a synthetic cell helps us understand the exact minimum requirements for life and how life might have emerged from chemistry — that’s a cool thing to try to understand,” Ellis said via email.
Chenli Liu, a distinguished professor at the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology and founding director of China’s State Key Laboratory for Quantitative Synthetic Biology, said that synthetic cell research was an exciting and rapidly evolving field but it wasn’t possible to give a meaningful assessment of the work before its publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.
Is it life?
A key achievement of their work, the researchers said, was showing that the synthetic cells are subject to the forces of selection, the process by which certain traits become more or less common. When they introduced a genetic change that increased production of a growth protein, cells carrying it grew and divided faster. However, because this change was introduced to the system rather than arising as a spontaneous genetic mutation, SpudCell can’t be said to “evolve.”
Nor can SpudCell really be considered life, said Endy, an associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford University. Endy was not involved in Adamala’s research but is a cofounder of Biotic.
“We don’t totally understand life — far from it. We don’t have an all-powerful ability to manipulate matter to make stuff. I would say Kate has constructed a cell. I don’t think she’s created life,” Endy said, noting that while physicists still don’t fully understand the mysteries of gravity, engineers can nonetheless build bridges.
In its current form, he said, SpudCell does not pose any biosafety risks and could not, for example, be used to manufacture a biological weapon. “It can only divide if you feed everything, including ribosomes. It has zero capacity to reproduce itself outside that context,” he added.
“However, does it promise a future where more people will be able to build cells? Yes. Are there potential safety and security concerns around the doing of that? Yes. Do we have to well manage them? Yes,” he said.
Adamala and Endy noted that because SpudCell can be built from the bottom up, it will be possible to engineer safeguards and fail-safes in the cell’s genome that would prevent the cell from posing safety risks if released into an environment. Plus, they said, there are far easier ways for bad actors to make a pathogenic organism
Scientists have also warned about the potential creation of mirror bacteria — synthetic organisms in which the molecular structure found in nature is reversed. The molecules in a mirror cell would be replaced with mirror-image versions that could put humans, animals and plants at risk of exposure to dangerous pathogens.
Through Biotic, which will license the core technology, Endy and Adamala said they hope that SpudCell will become a shared global standard for synthetic cell biology, acting like an open-source operating system such as Linux.
Laurie Zoloth, a professor of religion and ethics at the University of Chicago, said establishing Biotic may help address some of the ethical issues when new technology is introduced: Who does it benefit? Who decides its use? Who sets guardrails in place?
“We will have to see how it endures in its first, idealistic form,” Zoloth said. “I hope it does.”
Imperial College London’s Ellis said a standard, shareable and open-source framework would help scientists build upon one another’s work more quickly. “However, I’m not sure that the work in this paper is something everyone else in the world will want to fall in line behind,“ he said.
“A synthetic cell is a common goal for many teams around the world, but how they are tackling it and how they define success is very different.”
Adamala said the goal is to keep the core SpudCell technology open to anyone who wants to work on it, adding that academics or nonprofit organizations would be able to use it for free while there would be licensing fees for commercial use.
“Right now, SpudCell cannot make anything useful, it’s not efficient enough,” she said “What I’m excited about is we’re gathering the international community to actually speedrun the development for it to become useful.”

Colorado River system continues slide toward crash, despite emergency actions sending water to Lake Powell
Federal officials study changes to Glen Canyon Dam for low-water use scenarios
By Elise Schmelzer | eschmelzer@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: June 21, 2026 at 6:00 AM MDT
The two major reservoirs on the Colorado River face dire outlooks that will likely spur federal officials to restrict the amount of water flowing downstream — and decrease hydropower generation — in the coming months, even after they ordered recent emergency measures.
Projections released last week by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation show that if dry conditions persist, Lake Powell’s water level could dip below a threshold called “minimum power pool” as soon as February. That’s the level below which water can no longer flow through the reservoir’s hydropower turbines.
Without intervention, the projections say, the lake will remain below the critical elevation for the foreseeable future.
The threat of Powell hitting that threshold — 3,490 feet in elevation — has hovered above federal water managers for months as the reservoir has continued to drop to record-low levels. In April, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation leaders announced that they would send up to 1 million acre-feet of water from the upstream Flaming Gorge Reservoir to Powell and reduce the amount of water released from Powell to keep the reservoir’s level at 3,500 feet above sea level — which includes a small buffer Reclamation officials want to maintain to stay above the power pool level.
Powell’s water levels continue to drop as Colorado River leaders deal with two crises: one climatological and one political. Long-term drought fueled by climate change has shrunk the Colorado River’s flows as federal officials and water leaders in the seven basin states — including Colorado, home to its headwaters — struggle to agree on longer-term plans for the river’s management.
So far, they’ve failed to find agreement on how to divvy up the usage cuts necessary to adapt to lower flows that reduce the water supply for farmers and residents in a region that’s home to 40 million people.
When Lake Powell’s levels fall below minimum power pool, that means water can no longer flow through the intake tubes for Glen Canyon Dam‘s hydropower facility, which is the primary method for moving water downstream from the reservoir in southern Utah.
Instead, water can move only through much smaller bypass tubes that, for years, have been considered unsafe for long-term use — though Reclamation officials now say they can be operated safely with continuous maintenance.
The bureau’s most recent projections, released Tuesday, show that the emergency measures taken this spring will only be a stopgap, unless extremely wet weather returns.
“We’re going to get to 3,500 of elevation (at Powell) this year, and we’re going to stay there for a while, unless we get snowmaggedon,” said Anne Castle, a senior fellow at the University of Colorado Law School. She previously served as the chair of the Upper Colorado River Commission and as assistant secretary for water and science at the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The updated projections come on the heels of a new analysis published this month by Castle and a slate of other Colorado River experts. It shows that a relatively dry year would crash the river’s water storage system. The two major reservoirs would then fall so low under such a scenario that they essentially would no longer be usable as water savings accounts.
Instead, water managers would be able to pass water downstream only as it flowed into the reservoirs.
“This would be an outcome with devastating consequences,” the five authors stated in the paper.
‘This cannot be allowed to happen’
Bureau of Reclamation officials have said they will operate Lake Mead and Lake Powell to keep their water levels from falling below critical elevations. The federal water managers aim to keep Powell at 3,500 feet or higher and Mead at 975 feet — water levels that allow water to continue flowing through the reservoirs’ hydropower facilities and farther downstream.
Protecting those reservoir levels means that all the water below those elevations is rendered essentially inaccessible, the study authors wrote.
“If you get to those levels and Reclamation won’t allow the reservoirs to go below those levels, it’s like those reservoirs aren’t there,” Castle said.
Those levels are coming soon, according to the analysis.
The study's authors looked at two potential hydrologies: a year that is moderately wet, with water use remaining relatively unchanged; and one that is moderately dry — though not as dry as this past year — and water use falls.
A moderately wet year would buy only a few years of buffer unless the seven Colorado River basin states substantially reduce their water use, according to the analysis.
Under moderately dry conditions, Powell's level would fall to 3,500 feet above sea level, and Mead's would likely fall to 975 feet shortly after.
Those low reservoir levels would leave water managers with no flexibility to move water to meet the needs of water users in the Lower Basin states: Arizona, California and Nevada.
A reduction in the amount of water flowing from Powell into Mead could cause legal uncertainty across the basin, since the 1922 Colorado River compact requires the Upper Basin states — Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming and Utah — to pass a certain amount of water downstream from Powell.
Falling reservoir levels at Lake Mead also pose a threat to hydropower capacity at Hoover Dam, which supplies power to 1.3 million people across the Southwest. According to the Bureau of Reclamation's projections, water levels in the Nevada reservoir are projected to fall so low by November that power generation would be cut by 70%. That's because 12 of the dam's 17 turbines are not designed to operate at water levels below 1,035 feet.
The bureau projects that water levels in Mead will recover for a few months before plunging downward again in March — and staying below the level needed to avoid severe cuts in power production until at least April 2028, when Reclamation's projections end.
The only way to halt the slump toward a system crash is to bring water use in line with supply, Castle said. Immediate, basinwide water cuts that are unprecedented in size are the only way to prepare for the potential of a relatively dry winter, the authors wrote in the analysis.
"The political incentives to fight for the most favorable outcomes for individual states and water users must be overcome by the necessity of preventing a Colorado River system crash, the consequences of which would be devastating for those same water users," the analysis concludes. "This cannot be allowed to happen."
Backup systems safe, officials say
There is a sliver of good news among the catastrophic forecasts.
If Lake Powell falls below minimum power pool, the only way to release water downstream is through four 8-foot-diameter tubes called the river outlet works. For years, Bureau of Reclamation officials have said the tubes were not designed for long-term use at low water levels, and such use could cause structural damage to the dam.
But officials now say there's a way to safely use the river outlet works, if needed.
Recent studies of the river outlet works have shown that managers can operate the backup tubes continuously in a safe way, said Katrina Grantz, the deputy regional director for Reclamation’s Upper Colorado Region, at a conference in Boulder earlier this month. But the outlets require frequent inspections and maintenance when used continuously, which means that one of the four conduits will routinely be offline.
Over the course of a year, the maintenance rotation will result in an effective capacity of about three and a half outlets operating continuously, bureau spokesman Peter Soeth wrote in an email in response to follow-up questions from The Denver Post.
"The river outlet works were never designed to serve as the primary or long‑term release pathway," Soeth said. "Relying on them continuously would reduce operational flexibility and, over extended periods, could introduce wear that requires more intensive maintenance."
The bureau is studying ways to modify Glen Canyon Dam to deliver water and hydropower once the reservoir's water level drops below minimum power pool, Soeth said.
But any changes would not help in the immediate future — the first round of design appraisals and cost estimates won't be finished until 2027.

Urgent warning as ocean surface temperatures hit a record high for June - with fears the planet is entering 'uncharted territory'
READ MORE: UK weather conditions could bring surge of mosquitoes
See more Daily Mail on Google - save us as a Preferred Source
By XANTHA LEATHAM, EXECUTIVE SCIENCE EDITOR
Published: 06:18 EDT, 1 July 2026 | Updated: 07:48 EDT, 1 July 2026
The planet’s oceans are at unprecedented temperatures for this time of year, scientists have warned.
Experts from the Copernicus Climate Change Service revealed that last month, temperatures outside the polar regions hit an average of 20.86
°C.This marks a new record for June, exceeding the extraordinary highs recorded in 2023 and 2024 – which at the time scientists said were ‘terrifying’.
Now, they have said the new peak will likely bring ‘consequences for weather patterns, global climate and marine ecosystems’.
It comes amid concerns that a ‘super El Niño’, which could bring extreme heat ‘almost everywhere’ across the globe, has begun.
NASA satellites recently confirmed that the weather phenomenon – characterised by warmer water in the equatorial Pacific – is ‘underway’.
‘Current conditions could indicate the beginning of a new phase, leading, once more, to uncharted territory,’ Carlo Buontempo, Copernicus Climate Change Service Director, said.
‘With ocean temperatures at these levels and El Niño on the horizon, we are likely to see more temperature records fall in the coming months.’
Over the past three years, the global ocean outside the polar regions has been between 0.35°C and 0.73°C warmer than the long-term average.
The last June record, set in 2024, stood at 20.83°C – with the new record now just above it.
Experts warned that a warmer ocean has wide-ranging impacts.
Higher ocean temperatures keep the atmosphere warm for longer, provide extra energy to storms and increase evaporation – enhancing the potential for extreme precipitation and flooding.
Warmer seas also contribute to sea level rise and ice melt, and stress marine ecosystems. They also keep the air warmer, fuelling heat waves.
Commenting on the new record Professor Simon Tett, Chair in Earth System Dynamics at the University of Edinburgh, said: ‘This is not a surprise.
‘Atmospheric CO2 keeps increasing as fossil fuel is burnt. More CO2 means more heat trapping, which shows up as higher ocean temperatures.
‘On top of this human-driven warming, there is likely a bump from the El Niño which has started to warm the Eastern Pacific.’
A startling image, released earlier this week, showed parts of Europe in the grips of a marine heatwave with some areas recording temperatures 6°C higher than usual.
The worst-hit areas were in the western Mediterranean Sea, particularly in the Gulf of Lion off the coast of southern France, and in the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian seas along the western coast of Italy.
Last month, the UK and many other countries in Europe sweltered amid new heat records while Antarctica experienced unprecedentedly balmy winter conditions.
And according to forecast models, this could only get worse – as the strength of this year’s El Niño is likely to reach levels not seen in decades.
Experts predict the phenomenon will have ‘widespread effects’ including bringing wetter conditions to the American Southwest and drought to countries in the western Pacific.
While its influence on British weather is indirect, a particularly strong El Niño event could raise global temperatures and supercharge the heating effects of climate change.
Simon Culling, a prominent data collector and investigator for the UK’s Tornado & Storm Research Organisation (TORRO), wrote on X: ‘If the current predictions for the forthcoming El Niño phase are realised, what does this mean for the UK?
‘It may mean hotter summers for both 2026 and 2027 and increases the risk of a significant cold spell in winter 2026/27. Let’s see what plays out.’
Meteorologists say El Niño's intensity will likely be comparable to the 1997/98 event which saw global temperatures reach their highest on record.
During its development, the UK experienced an exceptionally hot, sunny and humid August characterised by heatwaves.
Speaking on the possible development of El Niño, Grahame Madge, a climate science communicator at Met Office, previously said: ‘This is likely to be a significant event.
‘It’s likely to be the strongest El Niño event so far this century. And we're probably comparing it to the 1998 one. This was a significant year for global temperature and at the time, it was the warmest year on record.'

Florida woman fatally shoots Army veteran during dispute over Walmart parking spot
By Nicholas McEntyre
Published July 2, 2026, 3:08 a.m. ETA New Jersey native who served in the Army was fatally shot by a woman during a dispute over a parking spot outside a Florida Walmart.
Bart Diguglielmo, a retired Staff Sergeant with the US Army, was killed after an unidentified woman shot him in front of the supercenter in North Lauderdale, Florida, just before 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said.
Diguglielmo, 62, and the female shooter were embroiled in a “verbal altercation” over a parking space before the altercation turned deadly, officials said.
The woman claimed that she shot Diguglielmo in self-defense, police said.
Witnesses recalled the woman becoming hysterical as police investigated the shooting.
“I was walking up and heard a lady screaming,” David Anderson told CBS News Miami. “She was screaming and she was saying a lot of things.”
Video shared on social media captured the alleged dispute, as a woman wearing a white shirt stepped out of her car with a gun in her hand, talking back to a man, believed to be Diguglielmo, wearing a gray shirt, who had walked up on her.
The two shoppers repeatedly pointed at each other during the argument and, at one point, the man put both his arms in the air as they stood in an empty parking space, according to video obtained by WPLG.
Diguglielmo appears to follow the woman around another car as she aims the gun at him before a single gunshot rings out and he collapses to the ground.
The gunshot victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Diguglielmo’s sister described her brother as a decorated veteran during Operation Desert Storm, according to CBS News Miami.
A native of Hammonton, New Jersey, Diguglielmo served as a combat nurse, combat medic and tactical communications expert, according to his Facebook profile.
“He was a Christian man and a very good person and would not hurt anyone,” the sibling, whose name was not revealed, said.
Diguglielmo, who lived in Lauderhill, Florida, was also a retired nurse, his sister said.
Officials have withheld the name of the woman.
The Broward County State Attorney’s Office will determine if she will be charged following the police investigation.

Middle-class NY mom led anti-Israel extremist group, donated to Palestinian terrorists, feds say: ‘I wish every day were Oct. 7’
By Priscilla DeGregory and
Xavier SerranoPublished July 1, 2026, 6:14 p.m. ET
A middle-class upstate New York mom has been charged with allegedly supporting an Islamic terrorist organization after donating $30,000 in cryptocurrency to the violent, antisemitic group, federal prosecutors announced Wednesday.
Catherine Beth Washburn, 37, a self-proclaimed stay-at-home mom, according to her Facebook account, exchanged messages with a terrorist in the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group in Gaza, once telling him “I wish every day were October 7,” according to prosecutors in the Western District of New York.
Washburn, who is from Irondequoit, just outside of Rochester, is the alleged leader of an extremist group that formed in the wake of Hamas’ attack on Israel in 2023, the feds said.
The anti-Israel group, called the Direct Action Movement for Palestinian Liberation, rejects peaceful protests and encourages sabotage and property destruction, according to prosecutors.
Old media photos show her as a mother of two children, smiling with her husband. She lived in a $280,000, three-bedroom house and appears to have spent significant time in the small town of Dansville.
However, her social media accounts are now filled with pics of her wearing a hijab and anti-Israel diatribes — including one post showing the home addresses of so-called “Zionists.”
It’s unclear whether she converted to Islam or exactly when she allegedly became radicalized.
In her messages with the PIJ fighter, Washburn allegedly said, “If I lived in Gaza, I would fight alongside the resistance.”
She also said she hated Jews “very much” and wished Israel “would disappear,” the feds claimed.
“I feel excited every time I see news of the killing of an occupation soldier,” she said, referring to Israeli soldiers.
Washburn then sent the fighter a total of $30,000 in cryptocurrency through 80 separate transfers, the feds alleged.
And in a November 2025 message, she predicted she would face hard time for her involvement with the group.
“Based on my passed [sic] fundraising and posting Im [sic] gonna get put away for a few life times,” she wrote adding a laughing emoji, the feds claimed.
Washburn also took a selfie of herself and placed the image next to the Hamas flag and two hand grenades, prosecutors claimed.
She is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization. She faces up to 20 years behind bars if convicted.
Washburn appeared in federal court in Buffalo Wednesday where she was held without bail.
“This defendant, fueled by her self-described hate of Israel and Jewish people, went to great lengths to attempt to provide financial support to terrorist organizations that use violence to further their agendas, including the Palestine Islamic Jihad,” U.S. Attorney Michael DiGiacomo for the Western District of New York said in a statement.
“Despite her alleged attempts, including cryptic communications with a fighter involved in violent attacks in an area thousands of miles away, Catherine Washburn was stopped and so too were her efforts to support violent extremism.”

Largest U.S. Power Grid Issues Alerts as Heat Drives Near-Record Power Demand
By Tom Gantert, The Epoch Times • Jul. 2, 2026
(The Epoch Times)—PJM Interconnection, the nation’s largest electric grid operator, said it has implemented a series of emergency preparedness measures as extreme heat drives electricity demand toward record levels across its 13-state service territory.
The grid operator issued a Hot Weather Alert through July 3, along with Maximum Generation, Load Management and Low Voltage alerts for Wednesday as it works to maintain reliable service during the heat wave.
PJM said the alerts do not require action from residential customers but are designed to maximize available power supplies by postponing generator maintenance, preparing demand response programs, and increasing transmission system capability.

PJM is forecasting peak electricity demand of 166,304 megawatts on July 2, which would exceed its previous summer record of 165,563 megawatts set in 2006.
PJM also said it recalled maintenance outages last week to return more generating units to service and obtained emergency approval from the U.S. Department of Energy to, if necessary, curtail data centers and other large customers with backup generation before resorting to voltage reductions or customer outages.
The Energy Department also granted temporary relief from certain environmental permit restrictions for power plants through July 3.

Virginia, which is in PJM’s service area, has become the epicenter of the nation’s data center boom and the resulting surge in electricity demand. According to the Pew Research Center, the state has 398 operating data centers—more than any other state—with another 287 planned.
PJM also took several additional steps to bolster grid reliability before the heat wave arrived. On June 25, the grid operator issued a Maintenance Outage Recall, asking generators that were offline for scheduled maintenance to return to service to increase available power supplies.
PJM also obtained two emergency orders from the U.S. Department of Energy. One allows transmission operators, as a last resort before voltage reductions or customer outages, to curtail data centers and other large electricity users with backup generation. The second temporarily relaxes certain environmental permit restrictions so additional generating units can operate through July 3.
The National Weather Service warned that dangerous, potentially record-breaking heat will persist across much of the central and eastern United States through the Independence Day holiday weekend.
Heat index values are expected to top 100 degrees in many areas, with some locations experiencing “feels like” temperatures as high as 115 degrees. The agency urged residents to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, check on vulnerable neighbors, and never leave children or pets in parked vehicles.
The prolonged heat increases the risk of heat-related illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

Not Just A “Super El Ni
ño”: A Record-Setting Worldwide Ocean Heat Wave Is Causing Insane Weather Chaos All Over The GlobeJuly 1, 2026
The oceans on our planet have never been this hot, and this is causing explosive weather throughout the world. Record high temperatures are being set all over the northern hemisphere, we are witnessing absolutely crazy storms, and gigantic wildfires are erupting at a blistering pace. We have never experienced anything quite like this before, and it is going to be very difficult for farmers to grow crops in these unpredictable conditions. It feels like we are living through a Hollywood disaster movie, but of course what we have been through so far is only just the beginning.
A lot of people are blaming the crazy weather on the “Super El Niño” that began a few weeks ago.
But it isn’t just a “Super El Niño” that we are facing.
According to Google, an El Niño occurs as a result of warmer surface temperatures in the equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean…
El Niño is a naturally occurring climate phenomenon characterized by unusually warm ocean surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific. During an event, standard trade winds weaken, causing warm water to shift toward the Americas instead of Asia, altering global weather patterns.
In 2026, we have certainly seen extremely warm surface temperatures in the equatorial waters of the Pacific Ocean.
But that is just part of the story.
Right now we are actually experiencing a worldwide ocean heat wave.
In fact, last month ocean surface temperatures reached the highest level ever recorded…
Temperatures on the ocean surface hit a record high in June, European scientists warned Wednesday, fueling fears of more dangerous heat waves this summer and fanning concerns over the escalating global climate crisis.
Two separate services under the European Union’s Copernicus earth observation program — the Copernicus Climate Change Service and the Copernicus Marine Service — announced they had both independently confirmed the record temperatures.
This is very alarming news.
According to the Copernicus Marine Service, the average ocean surface temperature actually reached a level of 20.98 degrees Celsius…
Global average sea surface temperatures in June were 20.98C, beating the previous records of 2023 and 2024, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Marine Service.
I am particularly concerned about the massive heat wave that we are witnessing in the northern Pacific.
On beaches all along the west coast, the consequences of this heat wave are clearly visible…
Within minutes of walking on a San Diego beach, marine ornithologist Tammy Russell found the feathered carcasses — one after another.
Some were mixed in with washed up kelp. Others were under rocks.
Each month, scientists and volunteers conduct surveys of dead seabirds and find what Russell describes as a grim assessment of the impact of a massive marine heat wave that has lingered for months off parts of the California coast.
The reason why so many seabirds are starving to death is because the little critters that they normally eat in the ocean are all being wiped out by the heat wave…
Many seabirds, including California brown pelicans, loons and grebes, starved to death in recent months as record-setting ocean temperatures decreased the band of cold, nutrient-rich surface water where krill, anchovies and sardines thrive near the shore, said Russell, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California, San Diego, Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
“We’ve been seeing cormorants walk to shore and then just die within the hour. I mean one time it happened within 15 minutes, and I’ve never seen that before,” Russell said. “That has been heartbreaking for me and we’re seeing this happening across the whole coast.”
What we have been witnessing in recent weeks is absolutely insane.
It all started on June 17th when the Memorandum of Understanding was signed.
That was the day when Tropical Storm Arthur formed, and that was the day when Tropical Storm Arthur made landfall.
It devastated communities all the way from Texas to the east coast.
According to Accuweather, it is being estimated that it caused somewhere between 4 to 6 billion dollars in total damage…
Tropical Storm Arthur, which dumped more than of 20-inches of rain in some spots across the Gulf this week, caused an estimated $4-6 billion in total damage and economic loss, according to a preliminary estimate from experts at AccuWeather. Flooding, property and infrastructure damage, hundreds of flight delays, financial losses from extended power outages, and business interruptions contributed to the economic impacts from the storm.
This was a truly historic storm, and the amount of rain that it dumped was absolutely astounding…
31.56 inches of rain in Cottonport, LA
24.47 inches of rain in Plaucheville, LA
20.66 inches of rain in Simmesport, LA
15.75 inches in Carriere, MS
Since then, the U.S. has been getting pounded by storm after storm, and now a truly frightening heat wave is baking the eastern half of the nation…
The heat is on.
A prolonged, dangerous heat wave will continue to intensify across most of the central to eastern United States into the Fourth of July weekend, with both smothering humidity and searing highs that could approach records in the mid-Atlantic.
I have already written about this “mega heat dome” multiple times.
We are being told that approximately 230 million Americans will experience extreme heat over the course of this week…
Overall, about 230 million people, or roughly two‑thirds of the U.S. population, could be exposed to extreme heat this week, Weather.com warned.
“The extreme heat will peak Tuesday [June 30] through Thursday [July 2] in the Midwest and Mississippi Valley, shifting eastward into the Ohio Valley and East Coast Thursday [July 2] and into the weekend,” the National Weather Service said in an online forecast.
People will be running their air conditioning like crazy, and this will put a tremendous amount of stress on our power grids.
In anticipation of what is coming, the Trump administration has just issued an emergency order for the largest power grid in the entire country…
The Trump administration has declared a power emergency for the nation’s largest energy grid in advance of a dangerous heat wave that threatens to strain electricity infrastructure.
The emergency order issued by the Energy Department Tuesday authorizes power plants in the PJM Interconnection LLC region, which serves 67 million people across 13 states, to operate at maximum levels and exceed some environmental requirements.
A second Energy Department order authorizes the use of backup generators in the PJM region “as a last resort,” PJM said. Both orders run until 11:59 p.m. New York time July 3.
Let us hope that the power grids do not fail.
Because if they do, many could end up dead.
In fact, a woman in Mississippi just died from the heat after she collapsed in her own garden…
A Mississippi family is left grieving after the blistering heat caused an elderly couple to collapse in their garden, leaving a loving wife and mother to die in the dangerous temperatures.
Martha ‘Irene’ Van Egmond, 83, was in her garden on Saturday when she fell in a flowerbed and passed away from hours of intense heat exposure, as her grieving husband desperately tried to help her up.
Conditions have been even worse in Europe.
Spanish authorities are telling us that more than 1,000 people died during the recent heat wave that hit that country…
Spain has also revealed the devastating toll of the recent heatwave, with officials saying more than 1,000 people died from heat-related causes in June.
At least 1,028 people died of heat-related issues during the heatwave, the public Carlos III Health Institute said.
What a nightmare.
When things are this hot, it is really easy for wildfires to erupt.
As I write this article, 16 massive wildfires are raging all across the state of Colorado…
Sixteen wildfires were burning across Colorado as of Monday night, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said, spurring several state emergency declarations across the state.
One of those declarations was in Mesa County in response to the deadly Snyder Fire, which reached more than 30,000 acres Tuesday morning. Polis also authorized the state’s National Guard to support response efforts.
To the east, evacuations are in place for areas across Pueblo and Custer counties as the Aspen Acres Fire continues to be a threat. While weather conditions and firefighting efforts helped manage some of the fire growth Tuesday morning, high winds in the afternoon are a concern in the effort to keep it under control, Pueblo County Sheriff David Lucero said during a news conference.
Colorado has been gripped by a seemingly endless drought for months, and there is no end in sight.
Next door in Utah, 12 enormous wildfires have collectively burned almost 300,000 acres…
Last week in neighboring Utah, severe fire conditions drove the National Weather Service office in Salt Lake City to issue its first-ever “particularly dangerous situation” red flag warning for central and southern parts of the state.
Now, twelve fires encompassing nearly 300,000 acres are burning across across the state.
The Cottonwood Fire in southern Utah had grown to nearly 100,000 acres as of Tuesday night, an area bigger than Salt Lake City. It is only 5% contained, according to InciWeb data. Evacuations remain in place for the blaze, which officials say is likely the most destructive and expensive in state history.
This is not normal.
In fact, this is not even close to normal.
The giant wildfires are just one of the reasons why air quality alerts have now been issued in 10 different states…
A dangerous haze is creeping across parts of the US, threatening to turn ordinary summer activities into a health risk.
Millions of Americans across ten states are under air quality alerts as a combination of ground-level ozone, wildfire smoke and harmful particle pollution degrades conditions from the Northeast to the Southwest.
Officials in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Colorado, Arizona and California have issued advisories warning that the air could become unhealthy, particularly for sensitive groups.
We are not even in the heart of wildfire season yet.
What will conditions be like once we get to August?
Meanwhile, our planet has been shaking like crazy over the past couple of weeks.
Yesterday, the Gulf of California was shaken by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake…
A magnitude-6.0 earthquake was reported early Tuesday afternoon in the Gulf of California.
The quake, reported at 12:45 p.m., was centered northeast of La Paz on the Baja California peninsula and southwest of El Progreso, a port city on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Shaking was reported in Los Mochis, Culiacan, Zapopan and other areas.
Aftershocks of magnitudes 4.5 and 5.3 were reported later Tuesday afternoon.
Of course everyone is still focused on Venezuela because of the immense devastation that a pair of giant earthquakes caused there.
The official death toll has now risen to 1,943 as authorities attempt to find any survivors that are still alive…
Venezuela’s earthquake disaster entered a critical sixth day Tuesday as the official death toll climbed to 1,943, rescue crews raced to find survivors beneath collapsing rubble, and frustration deepened across the country over what many residents describe as a slow and inadequate government response.
There is one element of this story that I haven’t even discussed yet.
Shortly after the earthquakes, the skies over Caracas turned “a sinister blood-red”…
The skies over parts of Venezuela have turned a sinister blood-red just days after the region endured back-to-back deadly earthquakes.
Videos and photos taken from Caracas on June 30 captured the ominous scene, showing a sky glowing an intense crimson red as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Social media users questioned if the colored sky was linked to the deadly earthquake that had recently struck the region.
Images of the red skies are being shared like crazy all over social media.
Apparently this phenomenon can be caused “when sunlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere”…
The deep red glow, known in Venezuela as a candilazo, occurs when sunlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere under specific conditions, producing a fiery sunset.
Needless to say, the twin quakes threw an enormous amount of dust and debris up into the atmosphere.
And so that is probably why the skies turned red.
There have been at least 689 aftershocks following the twin quakes, but the good news is that aftershock activity seems to be dropping…
Rodríguez said 689 aftershocks have been recorded since the main quakes, though both their frequency and average magnitude appear to be declining – a cautiously positive sign, though not enough to rule out further dangerous seismic activity.
“We must remain relentless in the search for people who are alive,” Rodríguez said during a Tuesday press briefing. “We must keep hope alive that more survivors can still be found beneath the rubble.”
On top of everything else, it appears that there is now an outbreak of the Marburg virus in Uganda…
Uganda has reported a Marburg virus disease outbreak to the World Health Organization (WHO), even as the country is responding to a separate Ebola outbreak, according to STAT.
The Ugandan government has not publicly announced the Marburg outbreak, but the World Health Organization was formally notified Tuesday of at least one case, STAT reported, citing the agency.
A source familiar with the response told STAT that two Marburg cases had been detected as of Monday and that the outbreak appeared to be localized.
Like the Bundibugyo virus that is spreading in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, there is no cure for the Marburg virus.
So hopefully officials in Uganda will be able to contain this outbreak.
But whether this particular outbreak becomes something big or not, it is still my contention that it is just a matter of time before we witness more major global pandemics.
I am convinced that we have reached such a critical turning point in human history.
But for now most people in the western world continue to act like the party will never end, and for the moment ignorance is bliss.

Europe Is Already Preparing for War
Posted Jul 2, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |
People keep asking when World War III will begin. They are asking the wrong question. Europe is already behaving as though it is at war. I have warned for years that the politicians in Brussels would never allow peace because the sovereign debt crisis requires an external enemy. Every week, another European government announces more military spending, another mobilization plan, another emergency measure, another speech warning the public to prepare for conflict. This is no longer speculation. It is policy.
Now Poland’s foreign intelligence chief, Col. Paweł Szota, has made one of the clearest admissions yet. He warned, “The level of Russian aggression is very high, and the risk of military confrontation is real.” He added that Poland “must operate as if war with Russia is inevitable“ because waiting until conflict begins would be too late. Those are extraordinary statements from the head of a NATO intelligence service. Governments do not talk this way unless they are already planning for the next stage.
Szota explained that Russia “is systematically pushing red lines, testing NATO’s responses,” and argued that the Kremlin views Poland and NATO’s eastern flank as “an obstacle to achieving its imperial ambitions.” He also warned that Moscow could continue the war in Ukraine for years, sacrifice its own economy, and expand hybrid operations against NATO members, including provocations in the Baltic region. Europe is no longer speaking about diplomacy. It is openly discussing escalation scenarios and military contingencies.
This is precisely what our computer has been forecasting. The 2026 Panic Cycle was never simply about financial markets. It marked the acceleration of geopolitical instability. Governments always require a crisis when they cannot solve the debt problem. Europe is entering an economic depression while military budgets are exploding. Germany is debating conscription once again. Poland is rapidly expanding one of the largest armies in Europe. NATO members are increasing defense spending toward 5% of GDP. Civil defense campaigns are appearing across the continent. These are not the actions of governments expecting peace. They are the actions of governments preparing their populations psychologically and financially for war.
Once governments convince themselves war is inevitable, they begin making decisions that ensure it becomes inevitable. Every mobilization by one side is interpreted as aggression by the other. Every sanctions package invites retaliation. Every troop deployment produces another deployment in response. History shows that wars often become unavoidable long before the first shots are fired because political leaders eliminate every possible path back to diplomacy.
I have repeatedly stated that the sovereign debt crisis and the War Cycle are converging. Europe cannot finance its welfare state, its Green agenda, and endless military expansion simultaneously. Something has to give. Throughout history, governments buried under debt have repeatedly turned toward external conflict because war postpones domestic political reckoning. It creates an excuse for deficits, emergency powers, censorship, and capital controls while redirecting public anger toward a foreign adversary.
Ukraine has become the catalyst, not the destination. The computer has consistently warned that 2026 marks the beginning of the Panic Cycle, 2027 carries the highest risk of broader international war, and the economic consequences will intensify into 2028 as recession and civil unrest spread. Europe is no longer preparing to avoid war. Its own intelligence chiefs are now publicly telling their citizens to prepare because they increasingly believe war is coming. That should concern every investor far more than the daily fluctuations in the stock market.

Iran Parliament Speaker rejects UN inspector access to bombed nuclear sites
Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf rejects claims that UN inspectors would be allowed access to nuclear sites damaged by US and Israeli airstrikes.
Elad Benari Jul 2, 2026, 12:07 AM (GMT+3)
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who headed the Iranian delegation for negotiations, on Wednesday rejected the notion that UN inspectors would be permitted to enter Iran’s nuclear sites that were bombed by the US and Israel.
"Claims regarding inspector access to bombed sites are false," Ghalibaf said, as quoted by Iranian media.
"We ourselves passed a law in parliament, the Supreme National Security Council passed it too; we made it law that under no circumstances do we allow access to sites that have been bombarded and damaged," he added.
US President Donald Trump recently stated that Iran will allow nuclear inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as part of the agreement with the US.
Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff made similar comments during a previous congressional briefing.
To date, Tehran has withheld information from the IAEA regarding the present location or condition of that material, while concurrently blocking inspectors from conducting assessments at the bombed facilities.
An agreement announced last September between Iran and the IAEA, intended to resume inspections and uranium accounting, has since been declared void by Tehran after Britain, France, and Germany triggered the return of UN sanctions previously lifted under the 2015 nuclear deal.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi recently assessed that the bulk of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile is probably still located at the Isfahan nuclear complex which was struck last June.
The IAEA chief said at the time that the IAEA also seeks access to Iran’s nuclear sites at Natanz and Fordow, where additional nuclear material is present.

The Kids Are Not Okay With AI. And They Know It.
by The Epoch Times
July 1, 2026in Aggregated, Opinions
In this The Epoch Times article, Kay Rubacek reveals that Gen Z graduates are loudly rejecting AI hype at commencements, signaling deep skepticism and awareness of its threats to human cognition, jobs, and fulfillment.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, music executive Scott Borchetta, and real estate leader Gloria Caulfield faced boos when praising AI as the next revolution during recent university speeches.
Gallup data shows Gen Z excitement for AI plummeted 14 points to 22% while anger rose to 31%, with even daily users losing enthusiasm.
Nearly half of college students have considered or changed majors due to AI disrupting job markets, particularly in tech, business, and engineering.
Gen Z is the first modern generation testing less cognitively capable than their parents despite more schooling, with declining attention, memory, literacy, and IQ linked to screen-based education.
Young people increasingly prefer human-created work, analog activities like vinyl and journaling, and view AI as chipping away at challenge, creativity, and purpose.
The backlash reflects a generational revolt against being experimental subjects in elite-driven tech transformations without consent or regard for consequences.
This wisdom intact among youth offers hope amid AI’s advance, demanding adults heed their clear vote against unchecked disruption.

June 30, 2026
We have witnessed crazy summer weather in the United States before, but this year has been just bonkers. There was snow at the end of June, high winds just shredded a wind farm in South Dakota, there have never been more tornadoes in Illinois, the western half of the country is being plagued by severe drought, wildfires are erupting at a blistering pace, and now the eastern half of the country is going to experience a “4th of July furnace” caused by an absolutely colossal heat dome…
Half of all Americans are facing prolonged, dangerously hot temperatures from an intense heat dome as they head outdoors to celebrate the country’s 250th Independence Day.
The temperatures in some spots in the eastern US, like New York City and Washington, DC, could be the hottest in over a decade, and numerous high temperature records are likely to fall in the coming days.
The oppressive heat and humidity are already gripping the Midwest and South and it will expand to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday. The sprawling heat dome will then park over the East, particularly the Interstate 95 corridor, and peak by Friday.
I repeatedly warned my readers that things would get really hot once the “Super El Ni
ño” officially arrived, and that is precisely what has happened.Throughout the rest of this week, high temperatures will be way above normal from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean…
Actual high temperatures are forecast to range from 90 to 105 F in most areas from the Plains to the western slopes of the Appalachians early this week and from the Plains to the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from Wednesday to Independence Day. Temperatures this week will be 10-20 degrees above the 30-year historical average in nearly three dozen states in late June and early July.
“The extreme heat and humidity are expected to bring near-record, or possibly record, energy usage to the mid-Atlantic power providers,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Alan Reppert said.
This is truly going to be an epic heat wave.
According to the Washington Post, a whopping 73 million Americans are expected to experience high temperatures in the triple digits…
73 million. That’s the number of Americans that are expected to experience triple-digit heat through Sunday.
190 million. Humidity will build to extreme levels for that many Americans by the end of the weekend.
205 million. For that many Americans, the risk for heat-related impacts will reach major or extreme levels through Monday, according to NOAA’s HeatRisk. At the rare extreme level, heat can be deadly to people without access to effective cooling.
The mid-Atlantic region will be hit particularly hard.
If you can believe it, in certain parts of the mid-Atlantic it could actually feel like it is 115 degrees outside once you account for the oppressive humidity.
One meteorologist is warning that it will be so hot in some areas that it “will melt your face off”.
If you live in an area that will be affected by this heat dome, please take proper precautions.
Sadly, there are still many people that do not take the heat seriously. In one very tragic case, an 18-month-old child ended up dead as a result…
An 18-month-old child died Monday after being found in a hot car outside an early education center in Plantation, Florida, on a day when temperatures climbed into the 90s.
Plantation police and firefighters responded at 5:39 p.m. Monday to a report of a deceased child inside a vehicle at A World of Discovery Academy, according to the Plantation Police Department.
The Plantation Fire Department confirmed the child was deceased, police said. Detectives responded to the scene, and an investigation into the child’s death is underway.
We need to educate our young parents better so that this sort of thing will stop happening.
When it gets extremely hot, we also see very large thunderstorms.
Throughout the rest of the week, the forecast calls for thunderstorms to develop all along the edges of the heat dome…
Rounds of thunderstorms will track along the edge of a massive heat dome through the days leading up to the Fourth of July. As the heat dome begins to weaken over the Independence Day weekend, severe thunderstorms are forecast to surge southward into areas that have remained largely storm-free this week.
During a heat wave like this week’s, sinking air beneath most of the heat dome suppresses thunderstorm development. Storms that do form typically develop along the weaker outer edge of the dome, where the flow around the high-pressure system helps steer them.
Thunderstorms will vary in size and intensity. Most will develop during the afternoon and evening, but some may organize into large complexes that persist overnight and continue into the next morning. In extreme cases, these complexes can evolve into derechos, while isolated storms may strengthen into supercells that may travel hundreds of miles. Both can be extremely dangerous and destructive.
Some of the storms that we have already seen have been absolutely frightening.
In South Dakota, a storm that actually occurred early in the morning produced a 131 mph wind gust that literally destroyed a bunch of wind turbines…
An early morning storm ripped through Highmore, South Dakota, about 220 miles east of Rapid City, producing a reported 131 mph wind gust that, if sustained, would fall within Category 4 hurricane strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Local KELOLAND meteorologists Scot Mundt and Brian Karstens were absolutely stunned by the wind speed, which reached 131 mph.
The violent straight-line winds toppled grain silos, damaged infrastructure, and knocked over large wind turbines.
Wind turbines are normally placed in areas that typically get high winds.
But they were never designed to handle a wind gust of this magnitude…
High temperatures also typically mean lots of tornadoes, and this year has been no exception.
In fact, the state of Illinois has already experienced more tornadoes in 2026 than in any other full year on record…
Illinois has had a record-setting year of tornadoes that no state wants to experience.
As of late June, Illinois already has experienced 205 preliminary tornado reports, which is more than any other full year since records were first taken.
Notably, Illinois has had more than double the number of tornadoes of any other state thus far in 2026. Mississippi and Indiana are a distant second with 84 apiece.
This is insane.
At this stage, Illinois has “almost tripled the 30-year average number of tornadoes per year”…
Illinois state climatologist Trent Ford told Newsweek in an email that the number of tornadoes in the state has skyrocketed over the last four years, but even by those standards, this year has been extreme.
“2026 is by a wide margin the most severe weather active year we have since consistent records were taken in the late 1950s,” Ford said.
“We have smashed our previous tornado record by mid-June and almost tripled the 30-year average number of tornadoes per year in Illinois.”
I told you that this summer has been bonkers.
And the scary thing is that it has just started.
In the western half of the nation, drought is the biggest issue.
Right now, the entire state of Colorado is experiencing at least some level of drought…
A number of states are suffering from record drought, but none has suffered as much recently as Colorado. Drought at various levels covers the entire state, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. The worst levels of drought, called “exceptional drought” and “extreme drought,” cover 37%. According to Drought Monitor experts, exceptional drought is “the most severe classification of drought, indicating critical, widespread water shortages, massive agricultural and pasture losses, and the frequent implementation of emergency water restrictions.”
Large wildfires have started along the Colorado border with Utah. This has strained the state’s firefighting resources. This has become a larger problem across the country. There have been over 35,000 wildfires in the US this year, the National Interagency Fire Center reports. These have burned 3.1 million acres so far this year. Last year, at the same time, the acres burned totaled 1.8 million.
The “Super El Niño” is likely to make things even hotter and even drier in many of the areas that are already dealing with drought.
The founder of AccuWeather is warning that we could soon see a “mini-Dust Bowl” in our western states…
And even though El Niño could transition back to neutral later this year, some experts are increasingly focused on what could follow, warning that drought conditions in the Plains could persist for years after the pattern breaks down — and the possibility of a “mini Dust Bowl” scenario.
“If the long-term drought is as bad as it could be, and you are starting off already with severe drought, this raises the real possibility of a ‘mini-Dust Bowl,” said AccuWeather Founder and Executive Chair Joel N. Myers. “Soybeans will be stressed further in the months and years ahead, and yields on some of these crops will be reduced in parts of the country. If that happens, it will have a negative impact on food production, leading to price inflation. Furthermore, water supplies will be harmed, as well.”
Drought is afflicting other key agricultural areas all over the globe, and that is setting the stage for widespread famines.
Everything that I have shared in this article is really happening.
But a lot of people out there are just sticking their heads in the sand and pretending that everything is going to be okay somehow.
It is time to wake up and face reality, but much of the population simply won’t do that.

The AI Jobs Apocalypse Has Begun: We Are Witnessing an Unprecedented Wave of AI-Related Layoffs in 2026
by Michael Snyder
July 1, 2026Reading Time: 6 mins read
(The Economic Collapse Blog)—We all knew that this would be coming. In 2026, the rate of AI-related layoffs has greatly accelerated, and that means that large numbers of good paying jobs are suddenly disappearing from the economy. This is occurring when we are already facing one major crisis after another, and so the timing could not be worse. Many young people specifically chose a major in college that would prepare them for positions in the tech industry because those were supposed to be the jobs of the future. Unfortunately, the AI jobs apocalypse is wiping out those jobs the fastest.
Let me give you some cold, hard numbers that will clearly demonstrate what I am talking about.
According to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the number of announced job cuts in the United States last month was the highest that we have seen during the month of May since the peak of the last pandemic…
U.S.-based employers announced 97,006 job cuts in May, up 16% from the 83,387 job cuts recorded in April, and up 3% from the 93,816 announced in the same month last year, according to a report released Thursday from global outplacement and executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
May’s total is the highest for the month since 2020, when 397,016 job cuts were recorded in May at the height of the pandemic. It also marks the third straight month that cuts have risen, climbing from 48,307 in February to 97,006 in May.
There is no way to spin those numbers to make them look good.
And for the third month in a row, artificial intelligence accounted for more layoffs than any other reason…
In May, Artificial Intelligence (AI) led all reasons for job cuts for the third month in a row, with 38,579 announced cuts. It is the highest monthly total ever recorded for the reason since Challenger began tracking it in 2023, and it accounted for 40% of all cuts announced in May — up from just 7% in January, 25% in March, and 26% in April. For the year, AI has been cited in 87,714 cuts, or 22% of all 2026 layoffs, already far surpassing the 54,836 attributed to the reason in all of 2025.
Read that last sentence again.
The number of AI-related layoffs in 2026 has already surpassed the grand total of AI-related layoffs for the entire year of 2025.
That is how fast things are now moving.
Needless to say, the tech industry is being hit the hardest.
At this point, tech layoffs are running 44 percent faster than last year…
So far this year, there have been an estimated 363 layoffs at tech companies this year, affecting nearly 150,000 people — a pace of about 974 people per day, 44% faster than last year — according to TrueUp, a tech job board and recruiting platform that also runs one of the most widely cited tech layoff trackers.
The trend appears to be accelerating. Tech layoffs hit their highest single month in two years last month, with nearly 40,000 cuts, and AI was the most-cited reason for layoffs across every industry for the third month running, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
There is no long-term loyalty in the tech industry anymore.
The moment that AI can do your work more efficiently than you can, you are in danger of being let go.
Some of you out there have personally experienced this.
During the past six months, we have seen some of the biggest names in tech radically transform their workforces…
Several major tech companies have announced significant workforce reductions this year while simultaneously ramping up investments in artificial intelligence.
Oracle disclosed recently that it has reduced its workforce by roughly 21,000 employees (4) over the past year. Meanwhile, Google has continued trimming staff (5) through performance reviews, buyout programs and reorganizations, with outside estimates suggesting between 1,500 and 3,000 engineering roles have been eliminated in 2026.
Meta also laid off roughly 8,000 employees earlier this year while shifting about 7,000 workers into AI-focused roles, highlighting how some companies are cutting jobs in certain areas while continuing to invest heavily in artificial intelligence.
This is just the beginning.
And it is going to spread to every industry.
If you can believe it, a major tobacco company just announced that it is planning to “cut about 20% of its workforce as it pursues an AI-driven overhaul”…
British American Tobacco (BATS.L), opens new tab plans to cut about 20% of its workforce as it pursues an AI-driven overhaul to lower costs and lift profits amid regulatory challenges and delayed launches.
The maker of Lucky Strike and Dunhill cigarettes said on Monday it would cut around 5,500 jobs and move roughly 3,500 roles to third-party firms, including Accenture . The restructuring would affect around 9,000 employees in total, but excludes the U.S., the company’s biggest market.
BitGo is another firm that is ruthlessly firing employees for AI-related reasons…
BitGo has joined the growing ranks of crypto firms slashing staff numbers as part of a pivot to AI.
The crypto custody and infrastructure company is cutting nearly 15% of its workforce, co-founder and CEO Mike Belshe said Thursday in a tweet that BitGo also filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A lot of the workers that are hitting the bricks are relatively young.
In the past, it was fairly easy to find another tech industry job, but now that has completely changed.
In fact, it has become so difficult to find a tech job these days that many job seekers have resorted to “spraying and praying”…
To survive this nightmarish job market, candidates are now “spraying and praying,” as one career coach described it — or paying resume services to blast out thousands of CVs per day to game the system and land a gig. However, according to experts in the tech industry who spoke with SFGATE, this is only creating a vicious cycle of inefficiency that hurts both workers and companies.
According to a recent survey conducted by Robert Half, a Bay Area talent and business solutions firm, over 50% of hiring managers said that AI-generated resumes are “flooding the market,” making it difficult to weed out candidates who are actually qualified for roles. To combat this torrent of resumes, 33% of hiring managers are now using AI-detection tools and spending more time training employees on how to spot ones that feel authentic.
“Many hiring managers tell us it’s becoming harder to distinguish between applicants because AI-generated resumes often use similar language, formatting and keywords,” Terah Brossart Daniels, a technology jobs expert with Robert Half, said. “Another issue is authenticity. A resume may look impressive on paper, but employers are spending more time validating whether a candidate’s experience, accomplishments and technical skills hold up throughout the interview process.”
If conditions are this bad now, what will the employment market look like once things really start falling apart in this country?
We were promised that AI would unleash a new golden age of peace and prosperity for our society.
Obviously that is not what is actually happening.
AI technology will continue to advance at an exponential rate, and soon millions more human workers will become obsolete.
This story is not going to end well, but most of you have already figured that out.

Blood-red skies appear over Venezuela days after deadly earthquakes sparking fears of a biblical omen
By STACY LIBERATORE, US SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
Published: 10:11 EDT, 1 July 2026 | Updated: 10:53 EDT, 1 July 2026
The skies over parts of Venezuela have turned a sinister blood-red just days after the region endured back-to-back deadly earthquakes.
Videos and photos taken from Caracas on June 30 captured the ominous scene, showing a sky glowing an intense crimson red as the sun dipped below the horizon.
Social media users questioned if the colored sky was linked to the deadly earthquake that had recently struck the region.
The timing sparked theories ranging from mysterious 'earthquake lights' to biblical signs, as many likened it to Joel 2:30-31, which describes the 'Day of the Lord', which is a time of God's coming judgment and power.
'And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes,' read the verses.
However, experts said the dramatic display was caused by much more ordinary phenomena.
The deep red glow, known in Venezuela as a candilazo, occurs when sunlight interacts with particles in the atmosphere under specific conditions, producing a fiery sunset.
There is also a significant Saharan dust plume crossing the Atlantic into the Caribbean and northern South America, which can also turn the sky red, especially during sunrises and sunsets.
Experts stressed that while the recent seismic disaster may have heightened fears and fueled speculation, the blood-red skies were the result of a well-understood atmospheric event and not evidence of earthquake-related activity or a biblical omen.
Videos and photos of Caracas have flooded social media, where many users appeared concerned for the region.
'This is beyond unsettling. What is happening in Venezuela?' one X user shared.
Others are sure the blood red was a sign from God, as another X user posted: 'Repent. Jesus is near.'
Several Bible passages have long been associated with unusual events in the sky.
The most frequently cited is Joel 2:31, with the prophecy being repeated in the New Testament in Acts 2:20, where the Apostle Peter declares: 'The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.'
Another often-referenced verse, Revelation 6:12, describes apocalyptic signs in the heavens, saying, 'The sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.'
Over the years, these passages have led some Christians to interpret blood moons, deep red sunsets, unusual auroras and smoke-filled skies as possible signs of the approaching end times or Christ's return.
However, biblical scholars and scientists generally caution against linking specific natural phenomena to prophecy.
In the case of Venezuela's crimson sky, atmospheric experts said the event was a candilazo and the massive Saharan dust plume that traveled across the Atlantic from Africa.
Atmospheric experts said the crimson sky was caused by a candilazo, a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through large amounts of dust and other tiny particles in the atmosphere.
The massive Saharan dust plume also filled the air with microscopic particles that scattered shorter blue and green wavelengths of light, allowing the longer red and orange wavelengths to dominate the sky.
As the sun sank lower on the horizon, its light had to travel through an even thicker layer of dust-filled atmosphere, intensifying the fiery red hues and creating the dramatic blood-red sunset seen across Venezuela.
The sinister scene followed major earthquakes that hit Venezuela on June 24, when 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude quakes hit back-to-back.
Some 774 buildings were badly damaged in the back-to-back quakes that struck on Wednesday evening, including 189 buildings that have totally collapsed, National Assembly President Jorge Rodriguez said on Sunday.
Officials said on Wednesday that the death toll has climbed to 1,943, but many more people are still missing.

Exclusive: "Pure gold" discovered following strike on the Drone City in southern Lebanon
A day after the destruction of the underground compound in southern Lebanon, a place that was once thought to be empty is now coming up with dozens of UAVs and munitions depots

Twenty-four hours after IDF forces destroyed Hezbollah’s underground compound in Majdal Zoun in southern Lebanon, Yossi Yehoshua, i24NEWS’ sister Hebrew channel’s military commentator and Yedioth Ahronoth military commentator, revealed that a warning to act against the site had already been issued at the beginning of the war. During Operation “Northern Arrows,” officers in the 36th Division recommended dealing with the compound, which was considered one of the main strategic assets that Iran built for Hezbollah near the border, and according to assessments, was intended to serve as a central base for the terror group's UAV network.
However, at that time, the Air Force Intelligence Division assessed that the compound was not active and that there were no weapons in it. As a result, the 36th Division was not tasked with taking control of the area, even though its forces operated nearby.
Only recently, with the advancement of the forces in the area, the decision was made to carry out a ground operation. When the Yahalom combat engineering unit entered the compound, it became clear that the reality was completely different from the initial assessments: instead, a giant tunnel system was discovered, along with command rooms, weapons storage facilities, dozens of Iranian-made drones, and a large quantity of ammunition.
Tsahal
At a depth of about 30 meters and with a lot of weapons: the giant tunnel that the IDF located in Lebanon, which was used as a site for assembling UAVsTsahal
The defense establishment defined the findings discovered at the compound as "pure gold" from an intelligence perspective. Some of the UAVs and weaponry were transferred to Israel for further examination, and the defense establishment estimates that they may provide significant information about Iranian UAV technologies, Hezbollah's operational methods, and the operational connection between Tehran and the organization.

Erdogan Pushes for Turkey’s Full Role in European Defense as Tensions With Israel Deepen

Turkish president says Ankara must be included in Europe’s defense architecture ahead of NATO summit
by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief
(Worthy News) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is pressing for Turkey’s full integration into Europe’s defense and security framework, arguing that Ankara’s military strength and NATO role make it indispensable to the continent’s future security.
Speaking to parliamentarians from NATO’s 32 member states gathered in Istanbul, Erdogan said Turkey wants a seat at the table in every major European defense initiative.
“As one of the countries contributing to the development of NATO’s European pillar, we want to take part in all defense and security initiatives in Europe,” Erdogan said.
His remarks come ahead of a key NATO summit, as Europe races to strengthen its defense capabilities amid war, regional instability, migration pressures, terrorism threats, and growing concern over the alliance’s long-term burden-sharing.
Erdogan also urged lawmakers to support Turkey’s participation in European Union defense projects, despite Ankara’s long-stalled effort to join the EU. Turkey remains a NATO member but not an EU member, placing it in a complicated position as Europe debates how much influence non-EU NATO states should have over the continent’s emerging defense architecture.
The Turkish leader also called for closer cooperation among NATO allies in the defense industry, warning that trade restrictions and export controls between member states weaken the alliance’s military effectiveness.
“If we are to overcome the challenges we face, we must remove barriers to defense industry trade while ensuring a balanced and fair sharing of responsibilities among allies,” Erdogan said.
His appeal comes as NATO leaders prepare to address defense spending, weapons production, Ukraine, Middle East instability, and the future of Europe’s security posture.
Turkey’s Strategic Weight Inside NATO
Turkey has long occupied one of NATO’s most strategically sensitive positions, bordering the Middle East, the Black Sea, the Caucasus, and southeastern Europe. Its military is one of the largest in the alliance, and Ankara has often argued that Europe cannot build a serious security system while keeping Turkey on the margins.
Still, Turkey’s relationship with Western allies has been strained by disputes over defense purchases, human rights concerns, Ankara’s foreign policy posture, and its acquisition of Russia’s S-400 missile defense system, which led to Turkey’s removal from the F-35 fighter program.
Erdogan’s latest remarks reflect a broader effort to restore Turkey’s influence inside the Western security order while maintaining Ankara’s independent regional ambitions.
Turkey and Israel: From Strategic Partners to Bitter Rivals
Turkey’s push for a larger defense role also comes as relations between Ankara and Jerusalem remain deeply strained.
For decades, Turkey and Israel maintained significant military, intelligence, and economic ties. During the 1990s, the two countries cooperated closely, with Turkey seeing Israel as a valuable regional partner and Israel viewing Turkey as a rare Muslim-majority ally.
That relationship began deteriorating under Erdogan’s rule, especially after the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, when Israeli commandos intercepted a Gaza-bound flotilla and several Turkish activists were killed. Diplomatic ties were downgraded and did not fully recover for years.
A fragile reset emerged in 2022, when Israel and Turkey restored full diplomatic relations after years of U.S.-backed mediation. But that thaw collapsed after the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel and the subsequent Gaza war. Erdogan became one of Israel’s fiercest critics, accusing Jerusalem of war crimes and repeatedly defending Hamas as a political movement rather than treating it as a terrorist organization.
Turkey imposed export restrictions on Israel in April 2024 and halted direct trade the following month, saying the measures would continue until humanitarian conditions in Gaza changed. The decision marked one of the sharpest economic ruptures between the two countries in modern history.
By 2025, Ankara had expanded pressure on Israel, including restrictions tied to airspace, ports, and military-related cargo, while Israeli officials accused Erdogan of aligning himself with hostile anti-Israel forces in the region. The two countries have also clashed over Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, and Iran’s regional influence.
erdogan netanyahu worthy christian news turkey israel
The result is a relationship that has moved from uneasy partnership to open hostility, even as both nations remain major regional powers whose actions directly affect the balance of the Middle East.
Trump Says He Stopped Turkey From Entering Iran War
Erdogan’s comments also come amid renewed attention on Turkey’s role during the recent U.S.-Israel confrontation with Iran. President Donald Trump has claimed that he personally stopped Turkey from entering the war against the United States, a statement that underscores how volatile the regional battlefield has become.
While Turkey has not directly entered the conflict, Ankara has consistently sought to position itself as a regional power broker — criticizing Israel, engaging with NATO, maintaining channels with Russia and Iran, and pressing for a larger role in European defense planning.
That balancing act has made Turkey both valuable and unpredictable to Western allies.
Prophetic Watch: Turkey, Gog and Magog
For many Bible prophecy watchers, Turkey’s rising military profile, its growing hostility toward Israel, and its desire to shape the future of Europe and the Middle East carry prophetic significance.
Ezekiel 38–39 describes a future coalition that comes against Israel in the latter days, led by “Gog” of the land of Magog. The prophecy names several ancient peoples and regions, including Gomer and Togarmah, which many scholars and prophecy teachers have historically associated with areas in or near modern-day Turkey.
Worthy News does not set dates or claim that every diplomatic development is a direct fulfillment of prophecy. Still, Turkey’s shifting posture is worth watching. A NATO member that once had strong ties with Israel is now increasingly hostile toward Jerusalem, deeply involved in regional power politics, and seeking a larger role in Europe’s defense structure.
For believers, the issue is not fear but discernment. Scripture calls us to watch, pray, and remember that the God of Israel is neither surprised by the movements of nations nor shaken by the ambitions of rulers.
As the prophet Ezekiel declared, the nations may gather, but the Lord will ultimately make His name known in the sight of many nations.

By
Breanna ClaussenJune 29, 2026
While the world’s attention is fixed on the Iranian regime, another nation with leadership just as wicked and bent on the destruction of Israel is flying largely under the radar of scrutiny.
Turkey, a member of NATO, has a vast track record of antisemitism—praising the Iranian proxy-led massacre on October 7th, hosting Hamas terrorists, threatening to invade the Jewish State, and even publicly expressing the desire to acquire nuclear weapons. Some Military experts have gone so far as to brand the nation “the new Iran,” expressing concerns over Turkish President Erdogan’s thirst for power and radical anti-Israel rhetoric.
Turkey’s interior minister recently sparked criticism for promising to “liberate” Jerusalem from Israel.
“Just as in the past, those lands will be ours once again. Allah willing, they will come under our sovereignty and dominion once more,” he vowed, referring to the control held under the fallen Ottoman Empire, “because we have a global leader like [Turkish President] Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at our helm. A world leader.”
Netanyahu, earlier this month, called Erdogan an “antisemitic dictator,” highlighting his support for terrorism, genocide against minorities, and brutal actions against dissenting voices within Turkey.
On Wednesday, President Trump took a mixed position, stating that he had thwarted Turkish plans to join Iran in attacking Israel during the war, while simultaneously praising Erdogan as a “great leader” and signaling the upcoming approval to sell F-35 fighter jets to the nation—a sale that was previously barred due to Turkey’s purchase of Russia’s S-400 air defense system in 2019.
The danger posed by Turkey is not theoretical to those who hold a Biblical worldview. Through the book of Ezekiel, chapters 38-39, we know that when the leadership in Turkey threatens to invade the Jewish State, we should take them at their word. The prophet Ezekiel details an alliance already vividly formed in our world today, comprised of Turkey, Iran, Russia, and others. God’s Word states that this dark coalition will wage a future attack on the modern state of Israel, attempting an invasion from the north.
While this attack has not yet occurred, the shifting pieces are moving into place, just as God’s Word described, leaping from today’s headlines in astonishing fashion. A mutual hunger for regional control and hatred of Israel continues to tighten the cooperation between Turkey, Iran, and Russia—with two of the three openly stating their intention to wipe Israel off the map.
Another facet of Ezekiel 38-39 worth noting is Israel’s isolation during the future attack. The chapters speak of the nation of Israel standing alone on the world scene, with even the United States neglecting to come to Israel’s defense. While President Trump has taken extraordinary steps in favor of Israel in his first and second terms, recent tensions surrounding Iran and the growing anti-Israel positions gaining traction in America suggest that the US-Israel relationship may be on the brink of waning.
While we don’t know all the elements that will ultimately bring about the precise circumstances of this Ezekiel war, we do know as Christians that it is not all bad news. Will bad actors become further emboldened? Yes. Will Israel stand against an army with no friends to come to her aid? Yes. But that is not the end of the story.
In an awe-inspiring turn of events, Ezekiel 38-39 describes the shattering defeat of Turkey, Iran, and Russia, not as a result of Israel’s military might, but by the direct and spectacular intervention of God. In that day, not only will God’s chosen people be rescued, but the “eyes of many nations” will recognize that these were the actions of almighty God (Ezekiel 38:23).

Venezuela rocked by strongest earthquakes in over a century, as USGS fears up to 100K deaths — Trump vows US is ‘ready, willing, and able to help’
By Zoe Hussain
Published June 24, 2026
Updated June 25, 2026, 6:53 a.m. ETVenezuela was rocked Wednesday afternoon by its strongest earthquakes in over a century — causing widespread destruction with fears of as many as 100,000 casualties.
A magnitude-7.2 quake struck roughly 100 miles west of Caracas, followed just 39 seconds later by an even bigger 7.5-magnitude temblor, according to the US Geological Survey.
“High casualties and extensive damage are probable, and the disaster is likely widespread,” the USGS warned — estimating that the death toll could climb to at least 10,000, and potentially 100,000.
As of early Thursday, at least 164 people had been confirmed killed and almost 1,000 others injured, acting President Delcy Rodriguez said.
Chaotic footage posted to social media captured terrified people scrambling to safety and shielding their families as ceiling panels collapsed and sparks flew at Maiquetia International Airport.
Videos also showed baseball players and onlookers running into the field during a game in Caracas as the quake hit, shaking power lines and stadium seats.
Emergency responders were forced to climb through the ruins of collapsed buildings as distraught residents searched for their loved ones into Wednesday evening.
Many buildings, including in Caracas, appeared to be destroyed or significantly damaged. Furniture and rubble were piled on the streets as homeowners stood outside in shock.
“When we went downstairs, the scene was like a horror movie,” said one local resident, Maria Alejandra.
“We had to climb over the rubble and everything. The building superintendent with the baby and all the neighbors coming down. But from that building, I only saw that one family got out.”
Caracas resident Martha A
ñez told CNN that she “leaned out onto the balcony, screaming, ‘We’re trapped! We need help! Please, someone come!’”With the major quakes being so close together, “it felt endless,” she said.
The massive geological event occurred as many Venezuelans were at home celebrating Battle of Carabobo Day, a public holiday marking the 1821 victory that helped secure the country’s independence from Spain.
“As soon as it started, we began hearing people screaming,” said Astrid Ramirez, a 41-year-old publicist in western Caracas. “Everyone was running down the stairs.”
Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said the earthquake shook several states.
“We understand that some people may be desperate, but we are acting according to protocols to activate aid and rescue efforts to help those who need it most,” Cabello said on state television. “Be very careful with children and the elderly; call each other and check that no one has been harmed.”
President Trump took to Truth Social on Wednesday night to say the US is willing to help the South American country with recovery efforts.
“The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths,” Trump wrote.
“The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good!!! President DJT.”
Rodriguez thanked Trump and the US, “who have been in constant contact with the Venezuelan authorities, providing support and solidarity to the people of Venezuela in the face of the tragedy that grips us.”
“Venezuela will never forget the hand extended to our people in these hard hours,” Rodriguez said.
In January, the US launched a barrage of strikes in Venezuela, culminating in the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores de Maduro.
The pair was brought to the US and jailed.
Rescue workers search through the rubble of a collapsed building after an earthquake.
The Maduros sent a message of solidarity while locked up in federal custody in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, CNN reported.
“Today, there is only one message: maximum unity, maximum solidarity, and maximum action,” the message posted on Maduro’s official Telegram channel read.
“Let no one be left alone, let each community take care of their children, their grandparents, their sick,” said the statement on behalf of the couple, who face drug trafficking and weapons charges.
“Venezuela has faced great trials, and we will come out of this one strong too, with faith, discipline, and solidarity.”
The US Tsunami Warning System issued a tsunami threat for Puerto Rico and the US and British Virgin Islands after the quakes.
But the warning was withdrawn about an hour later.
The quakes are among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century.
The nation lies in a seismically active zone, where the Caribbean Plate meets the South American Plate.
Roughly 30,000 people were killed when an earthquake destroyed much of Merida and Caracas in March 1812, according to the USGS.

Team Trump is exposing billions in fraud — even as Democrats keep actively encouraging it
By Post Editorial Board
Published June 25, 2026, 6:30 a.m. ET
Team Trump’s fraud crackdown is turning up billions in stolen taxpayer money, even as Democrats do their best to ignore, deny and even enable it.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s announcement Tuesday of a massive takedown — 455 perps collared across nearly every US state and territory — roped in a whopping $6.5 billion in scams.
The operation marked “the greatest combined federal and state effort combating health-care fraud in history,” Blanche noted.
Individual brazen crooks in these jaw-dropping cases siphoned millions meant for people truly in need, and spent it on luxury items for themselves: an $865,000 Bulgari necklace, a $594,000 Ferrari and — get this — a $4.6 million Philippines beach resort.
It wasn’t just taxpayers who got hurt:
A student actually died during basketball practice after a doctor involved in an $89 million fraud scheme OK’d the kid’s cardiac test based on just a cursory look, even though it contained “unconfirmed interpretations noting potential cardiovascular abnormalities,” the Department of Justice charged.
A nurse practitioner fraudulently billed Medicare for medical services, including the application of “unnecessary and expensive wound allografts” never applied or dangerously applied to infected sites, per DOJ.
One case alone involved a stunning $3.76 billion in bogus charges: Ibrahim Hilmi of Miami allegedly billed for medical equipment and wound dressings that he never provided.
Fortunately, the government paid only $5.7 million of that amount. But within weeks, that cash allegedly got transferred to Hong Kong and Indonesia as Hilmi fled the country.
In another huge case, the feds charged Marizel Yukee of Las Vegas with illegally billing $906 million in claims, netting a cool $297 million (more than a quarter-billion!) and using the funds to buy real estate, including that Philippines beach resort.
Americans, whatever their political party, should be livid at such blatant thievery.
Instead, Democrats oppose anti-fraud rules, such as those in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, claiming they cost folks their health care — as if it’s wrong to do any checks about whether a transaction is a scam if it means one patient who could legally qualify has to wait to finish the paperwork.
Dems also slam the Trump fraud crackdown as a political hit job targeting primarily blue states and cities.
Of course, those places are the ones that provide most government-subsidized health care and other social services, so most fraud will happen there — especially since Dems are against policing social-service programs. (Plus, this operation exposed “targets” spanning the entire country.)
Worst of all, some Democrats appear to be abetting fraud outright: Vice President JD Vance, for example, wants DOJ to probe, and possibly prosecute, Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and others based on evidence Minnesota’s top state officials ordered local authorities to “stop looking into” fraud for fear of being labeled “racist or Islamophobic.”
Worse, that state’s Department of Human Services actually probed the very people warning about the abuses.
Democrats never stop pushing to spend more on aid for the needy, particularly when it comes to health care.
Yet fraud leaves less cash available for the folks they claim to champion; if Dems truly cared about these people, they’d be the ones screaming loudest about the scams.

Venezuela earthquake ravages Caracas airport as travelers run for cover: video

Airport
Venezuela earthquake
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela
Venezuela has been struck by two devastating earthquakes which saw terrified passengers at Simon Bolivar International Airport (CCS) near Caracas run for cover.
On June 24, 2026, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) reported that the first earthquake struck Venezuela at 18:04, local time, at a magnitude of 7.2, followed 39 seconds later by a larger 7.5 mainshock.
Interim President Delcy Rodr
íguez declared a state of emergency throughout the country and stated that so far 32 people have died during the disaster with hundreds more injured.The United States Geological Survey has estimated that there is an above 50% chance that more than 10,000 people may have died.
The agency also concluded that the 7.5 earthquake struck southeast of Yumare in Venezuela and warned there is a risk of aftershocks resulting in potentially strong shaking.
President Rodríguez confirmed Simon Bolivar International Airport has been closed due to severe damage to its infrastructure.
Video footage shared on social media following the earthquakes showed airport building shaking under the earthquake force as the ceiling began to collapse, and people pulling suitcases tried to flee.
American Airlines issues travel alert
American Airlines, Avianca, Wingo and LATAM Airlines are just some of the carriers that are due to land or depart the airport on June 25, 2026.
American Airlines told passengers traveling to or from Venezuela and scheduled to travel June 25, 2026, will have their change fee waived.
In a statement LATAM Airlines Colombia said it “expresses its solidarity with the people, families, and communities affected by the strong earthquake recorded”.
“In LATAM Colombia, we understand the uncertainty and concern that an emergency like this can generate for our passengers and their families. For this reason, we have activated flexible alternatives that allow them to reorganize their trips with greater peace of mind during this difficult moment,” Erika Zarante, CEO of LATAM Airlines Colombia, added.
President Rodríguez holds press conference
In an address to the nation, President Rodríguez said that she asks the “population to remain calm and united”.
“We have officially implemented a national state of emergency to streamline rescue resources,” President Rodríguez said.
The Ministry of Communications said that President Rodríguez announced the activation of a “General Staff”, composed of the Sectoral Vice Presidents Diosdado Cabello, Juan José Ramírez, Héctor Rodríguez, and Calixto Ortega.
“We have activated the entire public and private health network of the country, I want to ask the doctors, nurses, and all health personnel as a whole to report to their workplaces,” President Rodríguez added.
World leaders react to earthquake
World leaders have offered their condolences to Venezuela and offered their country’s support during relief efforts.
In a social media post, US President Donald Trump wrote: “The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths. The USA stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new good friends.”
President Rodríguez said she also held a phone call with the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, who “expressed his solidarity and support toward the Venezuelan people in these difficult moments for our nation”.

Magnitude 5.6 earthquake rattles Northern California
by: Marc Sternfield
Posted: Jun 24, 2026 / 08:26 AM PDT Updated: Jun 24, 2026 / 02:38 PM PDT
An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6 rattled Northern California Wednesday morning, causing minor damage and shaking homes across a wide swath of the state.
According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the quake struck at 8:10 a.m. with an epicenter in Redwood Valley in inland Mendocino County, about 50 miles east of Mendocino and 120 miles north of San Francisco, at a depth of 8 kilometers. An aftershock measuring 2.5 shook there area roughly seven minutes later.
One resident of Lake County who felt the quake told KTLA sister station KRON4 that it lasted around seven seconds. Another resident said the quake was strong enough to knock items off the shelf at Mendocino County Ukiah Valley Hospital, where his daughter works, and a photo showed shattered wine bottles at a grocery store in Upper Lake.
In a statement, Mendocino County officials said some injuries were reported, but no deaths.
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said it was briefed on the quake and was working with local first responders.
“The Governor’s Office is closely coordinating with emergency officials and assessing potential impacts and damage,” Newsom’s office said.
There were no immediate reports of serious damage in that sparsely populated area of the state.
Thousands of earthquakes are recorded in California each year, but the vast majority are extremely minor. Several hundred reach a magnitude of 3.0, and only about 15 to 20 reach a magnitude of 4.0 or greater, according to the USGS.
In North America, only Alaska records more
quakes per year than California.Use controls or your thumb to move and zoom.
What to do in an earthquake
During an earthquake, knowing the proper steps to protect yourself and minimize injury is crucial. The California Department of Public Health provides detailed guidelines on what to do during such events. Here are the key points:
Drop: Immediately drop down onto your hands and knees. This position prevents you from being knocked over and allows you to stay low and crawl to safety if necessary.
Cover: Use one arm to protect your head and neck, and, if possible, take shelter under a sturdy table or desk. If no shelter is available, get down next to an interior wall away from windows. Stay on your knees and bend over to protect vital organs.
Hold On: Hold onto your shelter until the shaking stops. Be prepared to move with it if it shifts.

France is reporting it's first case of EBOLA!
Hal Turner World June 24, 2026 Hits: 13664
France on Wednesday announced its first confirmed case of Ebola identified on its territory, a doctor who had returned from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The health ministry said the patient has a "very low" viral load and that contacts are "currently being identified."
The case is the first of the deadly haemorrhagic fever identified outside the African continent during the current outbreak, which has also affected Uganda.
It's also the first time Ebola has been detected in France.
In 2014, during a major outbreak in West Africa, two patients were transported to France, but they had been diagnosed abroad.
The health ministry "confirms today the identification of a first positive case of Ebola virus disease on national territory", said a statement.
The ministry specified that the case had been identified in mainland France.
The doctor was isolated on arrival in France, even before the disease was officially identified, the ministry added.

DETROIT, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Pride Month is marketed as a celebration of inclusion and self-expression. But one Detroit Tigers fan learned those principles may come with an asterisk: certain viewpoints are tolerated, while others can get you escorted out of Comerica Park.
According to a report from New Media Detroit, a woman who is now identified as Paige Combs-Morgan says she was escorted from a Tigers game over wearing a shirt that read “Jesus Over Pride.”

The incident occurred on June 19 after television cameras picked up her seat location behind home plate. Combs-Morgan says stadium staff informed her that other fans had complained about the shirt’s message.
Three words and many security staffers.
Combs-Morgan wasn’t waving signs, throwing food, or yelling at fans. Instead, she says she was attending the game with relatives while wearing a shirt with three words on it: Jesus Over Pride. According to her account, multiple stadium
employees and police officers eventually became involved in removing her from the ballpark.The view from behind home plate.
Combs-Morgan told New Media Detroit she wore the shirt as a quiet expression of her Christian faith. She said she became concerned by debates surrounding Pride Month events in Major League Baseball and the treatment of players who publicly expressed their religious beliefs. In the interview, she shared, “That’s where I found it an issue because we should make sure that we’re expressing our faith.” Combs-Morgan maintains that fans have the right to express their views peacefully and says she should have been permitted to wear the shirt throughout the game.
What do the Detroit Tigers say about it?
However, according to a report from the Detroit News, the team had a different take on what happened. They said in a statement, “We received several complaints from fans seated behind home plate during Friday’s game, who reported another fan’s behavior as being disruptive to their ballpark experience. The behavior included frequent walks and poses across the front row of seats in camera- visible areas, obstructing others from being able to watch the game.”
The statement goes on to say, “Our staff warned the fan that she would be ejected if the behavior continued, as it violated our fan code of conduct. She was later escorted from the ballpark because the behavior persisted, and not because of her attire.” They explained their fan code of contact is available online and that “one of the first expectations listed being that guests should refrain from any action that disrupts other guests’ enjoyment of the game.”

Despite the statement, Combs-Morgan says she was told by several park employees that it was her shirt was offending people. She disagreed. That is why during the sixth inning, she posed for the cameras and held out her arms to show off her shirt. After that, she left to get a drink and police officers and Comerica Park employees approached her.
What are the rules?
According to Comerica Park’s code of conduct rules, guests may be removed for obscene, vulgar, abusive, threatening, or discriminatory behavior, displaying obscene or indecent messages, disrupting the enjoyment of other fans, or refusing reasonable requests from stadium personnel. The policy also contains a broad catch-all provision stating that “Ilitch Sports + Entertainment reserves the right to prohibit anything deemed inappropriate.”
Will it end here?
Combs-Morgan says she won’t be doing anything further about her removal from the stadium. She said, “I’m not going to file a lawsuit, and I’m making this a big civil rights thing. Jesus wouldn’t seek money, and I’m not seeking money either. But I do plan on wearing that shirt again. Maybe not to that venue, but I’ll keep wearing it, because I have a right to get this message out, too.”

After Trump posted that the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open" the IRGC shot a Singapore-flagged cargo ship on it.
The Ever Lovely. The bridge damaged, but no casualties.
Iran just put a hole in a commercial vessel days into a deal that was supposed to guarantee safe passage, while Trump is publicly declaring everything was fine, and US officials are now describing it as an "early test of the deal's durability."
That's one way to put it.
An unknown projectile slammed into its starboard side, the right flank, roughly 7.5 nautical miles southeast of Oman's Dahit.
The blow landed on the bridge, the part of the ship the crew steers from, which is about as bad a spot to take

Iran drones hit Bahrain as tanker attack rocks Strait of Hormuz
Iran launched drones at Bahrain and a tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. The incidents signalled renewed Gulf escalation despite a tentative US-Iran understanding.
India Today World Desk
Dubai,UPDATED: Jun 27, 2026 16:18 IST
Iran launched a drone attack targeting Bahrain and a ship in the Strait of Hormuz separately came under attack on Saturday, in what appeared to be Tehran's response to overnight US airstrikes. The incidents across the Persian Gulf highlighted the risk of the conflict spiralling again, even after Iran and the US reached an interim deal aimed at securing a final accord to end the war.
The US airstrikes had followed an Iranian drone attack on a ship trying to leave the strait on Thursday, part of a series of attacks that have shaken the uneasy ceasefire. Separately, a multinational maritime body overseen by the US Navy said on Saturday that it would expand a route near Oman's shores in the strait to allow both inbound and outbound traffic, a move likely to open up a fresh point of tension with Tehran.

New US-Iran Lebanon oversight body excludes Israel, gives Tehran say over IDF actions - editorial
A joint statement released by the mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan, announced the creation of a deconfliction mechanism for Lebanon.
By
J POST EDITORIAL JUNE 24, 2026 05:59As additional details emerge from the talks that took place between the US and Iran in Switzerland, they reveal the dire predicament that Israel is getting mired in.
A joint statement released by the mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan, announced the creation of a deconfliction mechanism for Lebanon. According to reports on N12, it would limit Israeli military action to only responding to “imminent threats,” rather than to the broader category of “emerging threats,” according to a Monday report.
The N12 report noted that the new arrangement would depart from a previous framework, established in November 2024, that included representatives from Israel, Lebanon, the United States, France, and the United Nations. The new oversight body would include the US, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, and Pakistan - but not Israel.
In essence, it’s creating an absurd reality that gives Iran - the nation bent on destroying Israel and fueling the Hezbollah holy war against the Jewish state - a senior role in determining whether Israel is violating the framework set up to defuse the war in Lebanon.
As such, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, predictably lauded the new mechanism, calling it a “major progress to end the Lebanon War.”
US VP JD Vance announces 'deconfliction mechanism,' says Israel part of talks
US Vice President JD Vance, when announcing the “deconfliction mechanism” in Burgenstock on Sunday, said that Israel would be part of the conversation. But without representation, Jerusalem is once again being shut out from vital decisions being made that affect the well-being of its citizens, a trend that has gained steam since the partnership with the US that launched the February 28 attack against Iran.
Naturally, Israel has lashed out at what’s taking place behind its back. President Isaac Herzog said on Monday that any negotiations to end the Israel-Lebanon conflict should be done by the two countries themselves and not by “Iranian extortion.”
Shortly after the N12 report aired, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a Hebrew-language statement stressing that Israeli troops in southern Lebanon have “full freedom of action” against both “direct or emerging threats” posed to them.
“The directive that the defense minister and I have given the IDF is clear and has not changed: Our forces in southern Lebanon have full freedom of action to thwart any direct or emerging threat against them or against residents of northern Israel. The IDF faces no restrictions in this regard,” Netanyahu said.
That view was reiterated on Tuesday in a joint statement issued by Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir.
Lebanon, Aoun unhappy with ceasefire implementation, oversight
Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun also seems none too pleased with the new mechanism.
As The Jerusalem Post’s Amichai Stein reported, although Aoun has publicly welcomed the initiative, senior Lebanese officials have privately questioned why the US is facilitating renewed Iranian influence in Lebanon after months of successfully reducing Tehran’s footprint there.
“We negotiate for ourselves, and we do not accept any other party doing so for us,” Aoun said on Monday, cautioning that although Beirut welcomes “any assistance that comes from any country to end the war,” it expects those countries to avoid “interfering in our internal affairs.”
The developments are taking place on Tuesday as Israeli and Lebanese delegations are meeting in Washington for another round of talks focused on the disarmament of Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and continued discussions on the prospect of normalization between the two countries.
Lebanese officials expressed concern that Iran’s renewed role could encourage Hezbollah to refuse cooperation with any disarmament initiative. Signs of the group’s resistance are already evident in recent statements by senior Hezbollah officials, who now insist that Israel must complete a full withdrawal from Lebanese territory before the terror organization takes any steps toward disarmament.
Although we don’t know the full details about what’s being discussed between the US and Iran under the auspices of Pakistan and Qatar, nevertheless, agreements made in Switzerland that affect the lives of IDF soldiers serving in Lebanon and Israeli citizens suffering the brunt of Hezbollah attacks must be made with the involvement of Israel.
Why we have been shut out and whether we’re impotent to do anything about it are matters that need to be considered when Israelis go to the polls this fall.

06-23-2026Qatar is a tiny desert nation, yet its people enjoy the Middle East's highest standard of living. Enormous oil and gas wealth also allows the country to buy influence around the globe, especially here in the United States.
Now, an explosive report examines how this money is being weaponized.
Direct from the Persian Gulf to elite universities, corporations, and powerful institutions — Qatari cash is flooding America.
Natalie Ecanow, a senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, has tracked this money trail, which goes back some 25 years.
"I spent over a year trying to trace as much of Qatar's money as I could in the United States, and the grand total that I came up with was $400 billion and change," she explained. "That's billion with a b."
Most of that money started flowing in 2010.
"In some cases, it's a clear play for influence. I would say that money the Qataris spend on lobbying, public relations, media, to a certain extent, education, all of that is buying influence to some degree," Ecanow said.
It turns out FDD found Qatari billions making their way into important places here in the U.S. — from our defense and energy industries to public schools and even American universities.

Gregg Roman, who heads up the Middle East Forum, worries about the depth of this influence. "They're essentially undermining American citizens' interests in our backyard," he said.
When it comes to defense, the monarchy hasn't been shy about spending big. They've dropped at least $30 billion on helicopters, missiles, drones, and F-15 fighter jets. Qatar even coordinates this from inside our country.
"Their state defense firm has a U.S. subsidiary in South Carolina. And it runs, what is essentially a drone research and development facility," Ecanow explained. "It's called Johns Island. And that's soaked up millions of dollars."
Qatar has poured billions into building up the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base, just southwest of Doha. As home to about 10,000 troops, this is where U.S. Central Command runs the show. Without this base, the American air campaign against Iran would have been a lot tougher. And that's just the start.
During the recent G-7 summit in Evian, France, the Qatari emir told President Trump he's proud of his country's investments in America. While thanking the emir, Trump announced that more Qatari cash will be coming.
"You fought, and you helped us, and with great bravery. So I just want to compliment you on that. And you'll always be my friend," Trump said. "Qatar is going to be investing much more than $1 trillion in the United States."
Over the past decade, Qatar has also pumped $25 billion into U.S. energy, with most of that money landing in oil-rich Texas. "Mostly in liquefied natural gas operations down there. And I believe one of the Qatari projects actually just came online in the last couple of months," Ecanow said.
She and Roman both point out that they consider Qatari donations to American universities especially troubling.
Why? Qatar openly supports the Muslim Brotherhood and has hosted the Taliban and Hamas, terrorists.
According to FDD, the Israeli government actually approved more than $1 billion in Qatari money sent to Hamas since 2012.
"The thinking was, if the Qataris could, you know, spend money on or subsidize, you know, civil service salaries and things like that in Gaza and stabilize, sort of like civilian life in the strip, that maybe, you know, Hamas would sort of moderate. That thinking obviously was proved wrong," Ecanow said.
Roman is pulling back the curtain on how and where this money can shape what happens at our universities.
"Start with Georgetown. Almost $1 billion from Qatar went to the university over 20 years. A son of the former Emir sits on its board. Qatar names the chairs. They pick the Fellows. Qatar is the number one foreign funder of American universities. It even surpassed China," he explained. "And then in 2025, it tripled its giving from under $400 million at one point to $2 billion in a single year."
Georgetown University says the money it receives from Qatar comes primarily from contracts to operate a satellite campus in Doha. The university is in full legal compliance with U.S. government reporting requirements and maintains full operational and academic autonomy.
Ecanow, however, believes all that Qatari money has made schools like Georgetown forget what they stand for.
"Last year, the president of Georgetown awarded the mother of the Qatari Emir. So that's the mother of the ruler of Qatar, awarded her what is essentially the highest honor that the president can give out. And what's interesting about this is that this particular woman, months prior to receiving the award, publicly eulogized YaYa Sinwar, who was Hamas's chief in Gaza, and one of the, if not the mastermind behind Hamas's October 7th terrorist attack."
Roman believes antisemitism on college campuses has something to do with Qatar funding.
"If you look at the universities that they have relationships with, whether it be Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, Cornell, Georgetown, or even Texas A&M, to a certain extent, which severed their relationship with the Qataris, these are hotbeds of antisemitism in America," he insisted. "There's a direct correlation between the levels of antisemitism on college campuses and how much Qatari money goes into those schools."
President Trump has praised Qatar as a resilient partner under pressure in the war with Iran. Before the fighting started, though, the two countries appeared pretty friendly. They also share good ties with American adversaries, Russia and China.
"It really boils down to what we'd like to describe as arsonist and firefighter. The Qataris are playing both. And so far, there's been very little accountability from the U.S. government for the more adversarial things that the Qataris engage in," said Ecanow.
FDD reports the Qataris have also spent $295 billion on public relations and lobbying the U.S. Congress.
"But I should note that all that activity is legal," Ecanow insisted. "There's nothing wrong with it. It's just that, a) there needs to be disclosure, and b) it can't prevent the U.S. government from holding Qatar accountable for the things that don't necessarily align with American priorities."

Lebanese Christians say Trump making a mistake
Lebanese Christian party chiefs urge America not to let Iran link its deal to Lebanon, noting that Tehran only cares about saving Hezbollah.
Ryan Jones Jun 23, 2026 at 2:55 pm
If Iran manages to convince America to directly link Lebanon to the emerging US-Iran peace deal, that will be seen by everyone in the Middle East as a clear victory for the Islamic Republic. That was the warning issued by the heads of Lebanon’s Christian political parties to US President Donald Trump.
Samy Gemayel, head of the Kataeb Party, told Lebanese media this week that there can be no peace in Lebanon “as long as the weapons of the militias [Hezbollah and other Shiite groups] are on our land.”
The problem, as Gemayel indirectly pointed out, is not Israel’s military operations or presence in southern Lebanon. Most Lebanese, and certainly its Christian population, known that Israel has no territorial designs on their country.
The problem is the presence of Iran-backed forces that the Lebanese government dares not confront directly. “We will not coexist with Hezbollah,” insisted Gemayel. “Whatever the result of the talks taking place outside Lebanon, we will not accept the existence of this militia.”
Lebanon’s time of suffering must come to an end, he stressed. And Gemayel said that suffering is the product of Iranian interference.
“The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States and Iran has nothing to do with Lebanon,” he added. “What Iran is trying to do through the agreement is to protect its people in Lebanon, not Lebanon.”
Samir Gagea, head of the Lebanese Christian Forces Party, wrote an open letter to US Vice President JD Vance on behalf of Christians in Lebanon, urging him to sever any connection between Iran and Lebanon in the ongoing US-Iran negotiations.
Gagea called on the US to strengthen the institutions of the Lebanese state, rather than facilitate Iran’s continued interference in Lebanese affairs.
Permitting Iran to continue to wield influence in Lebanon will render pointless the peace talks Washington is attempting to facilitate between Israel and Lebanon, and will perpetuate the conflict between the two neighbors. Hezbollah exists only as a tool of Iran’s quest to destroy Israel.

By
Tom Gilbreath June 23, 2026How strange it must be for a pastor to stand at a funeral and preach the reality of heaven — even though he mostly dismisses the book from which he preaches. What a terrible burden it must be for a man or woman to make himself or herself God’s judge — choosing which of God’s words should be kept and which should be discarded based on the shallow, always-changing moral fashions of the age. Millions of churchgoers are led by people who subordinate God’s Word to the whims of a sick culture.
To impose today’s political correctness on the Bible does violence not only to the Bible, but to human souls. One seminary student turned politician has made a name for himself in Texas saying that God is “nonbinary.” Yet in Matthew 6:9, Jesus taught us to pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.” After His resurrection, Jesus said to Mary Magdalene, “I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My God, and your God.” To all but the most distorted minds, this means that Jesus — the One on whom Christians pin all our hope — proclaims God as Father — as male.
The same politician has announced that there are “six different genders.” He certainly doesn’t get that from the Bible. It says in Genesis 1:27, “Male and female created He them.” According to The New York Times, running in the Texas general election, he now regrets “the way he had articulated some of his progressive views on gender and race.” But he has reiterated that “The Bible is silent about abortion.” Really? Most Bibles include the Ten Commandments, including number six — “Thou shalt not kill.”
This is not about politics. I’m not telling anyone how to vote. If you vote regularly, you have almost certainly found yourself voting for the lesser of evils. So, you hold your nose and vote for one of the choices, even if it involves voting for someone with whom you have major differences. This is not about politics but about the state of the Church.
This week I talked to a 12-year-old neighbor who I know comes from a strong Christian family. I asked him what message he would give today’s Church. Without hesitation, he responded, “They need the Gospel.” Then he added, “The real Gospel.”
The real Gospel offers salvation from sin. Therefore, a fundamental part of “the real Gospel” is that we are sinners and we need a Savior. Large numbers of churches today advertise themselves as “affirming.” But the real Gospel does not “affirm” people in their sin. “I’m Okay, You’re Okay” does not lead to the cross. Jesus offers salvation from something dark and deadly — something people ignore at great personal peril. Jesus does not affirm you in your sins. He saves you from them.
Our value and meaning rest on the foundation of God’s truthfulness. So, to deny God’s Word also denies His benefits. When a Christian denies God’s Word, he undermines his own hope and meaning. If God says one thing and means the opposite, how can we trust Him on anything? But Psalm 19:7 says, “The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.”
Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.” When the winds threaten, and the storm rages — when the earth quakes beneath our feet and seems to be breaking apart, we find security in the unchanging, everlasting Rock of Ages.

1 min readElectronic banking services have been severely disrupted after another cyberattack on several state banks in Iran, Iranian media outlets reported on Tuesday.
According to the reports, the three affected banks - Melli, Saderat and Tejarat - temporarily had to shut down their customers' card services nationwide, meaning online payments were not possible. This was intended to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security of customers' assets, the IT department of the Banking Coordination Council said, according to the Shargh online news website.
Experts are currently working to restore operations as quickly as possible, it said. However, the council was unable to provide more detailed information. Private banks in the country are not affected by the attacks.
A cyberattack in mid-June disrupted four major state banks, with online payments and numerous cash machines in the capital Tehran stopping working.

Who are the suspected perpetrators behind these cyberattacks?
"A silent war is unfolding and Iran is under cyberattack," the Iranian hacker group Black Wolves said on its Telegram channel at the time, claiming responsibility for the attack.
Back in 2022, during the women's protests, there was a major hack targeting Iran's central bank. The surveillance cameras of the notorious Evin prison in Tehran were also hacked. Published footage showed violent assaults by prison staff on political prisoners.
The hacker attacks are regarded as a form of digital protest against the Islamic system of government in Iran.

British "Storm Shadow" Missiles Used To Attack Russia; "NATO is Now Party to the Conflict"
Hal Turner World June 23, 2026 Hits: 29272
Yesterday, June 22, 2026, Britain and Ukraine carried out a historic attack upon Russia, with Ukraine firing British "Storm Shadow" cruise missiles deep into Russia, striking Voronezh. The date is also historic; it was 85 years ago yesterday, on June 22, 1941, that Germany launched "Operation Barbarosa," attacking the then-Soviet Union in World War 2.
The attack using British "Storm Shadow" and French "SCALP" missiles was authorized by British Prime Minister Kier Starmer before he RESIGNED as Prime Minister. This is, by far, the biggest escalation of the Ukraine-Russia war.
Both British Storm Shadows, and French SCALP missiles must be guided to target actively by US and NATO military satellites. Active guidance. That means the while Ukraine pulled the trigger, NATO member countries have now actively guided the attack inside Russia. NATO is now a "party to the conflict."
Russia President Vladimir Putin warned against this on television over a year ago. Here is that interview at the top of a split screen, with the results of the attack in Voronezh at the bottom half:
The target that was attacked was a Russia semiconductor factory.Putin clearly drew this as the biggest red line.
Putin earlier said (in video above) that if Ukraine were empowered to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons like Storm Shadow missiles, it would mean direct NATO participation and Russia would react appropriately.
To deep-strike with cruise missiles you need:
- Active Western satellite intelligence data
- NATO personnel to program the flight route and target of missiles within Russia
Hal Turner Analysis
Technically, for Russia to eliminate this threat, they would likely need to strike NATO bases.
What will Putin do? If he does retaliate against Britain and/or NATO Bases, we're in World War 3. If he doesn't, the West will just continue doing this to Russia. It is an impossible choice, but a choice Putin must make nonetheless.
My personal belief: I think Putin makes strikes. I think he will come out and say something like "I warned you - publicly and privately - that if NATO-Satellite-Guided missiles were used to strike Russia, then NATO would be a party to the conflict. You did it anyway. Now, suffer the result of your decision."
He may also say something like "Our strike will be limited to (insert target) and if you do not respond, we will consider the matter closed. But if you do respond, then it's all-out war."
I think he will strike. Right now, today, we stand at the threshold of literal World War 3.

Missouri Judge Strikes Down Laws Restricting Baby Murder
By Zachary Stieber, The Epoch Times • Jun. 23, 2026
(The Epoch Times)—Missouri laws restricting abortion are unconstitutionally vague and conflict with a constitutional amendment voters in the state approved in 2024, a county judge has ruled.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Jerri Zhang on June 18 ruled in favor of Planned Parenthood and other plaintiffs, finding that many of the restrictions “violate the Missouri Constitution … and may therefore not be enforced.”
That’s in part because of a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2024 that said the government “shall not deny or infringe upon a person’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which is the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive health care, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions.”
The amendment said that restrictions could be applied, but only if the government demonstrated they were “justified by a compelling governmental interest achieved by the least restrictive means.”
The violations, Zhang said, include restrictions that prohibit providing medication abortion absent a plan approved by the government that involves abortion providers committing to being available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to “personally treat all complications” from the abortions.
Planned Parenthood had not been providing medication abortions, deeming the rules too onerous. It had been providing regular abortions under preliminary injunctions that had previously been entered by the courts.
***Support The Liberty Daily and Mike Lindell -- use code TLD at MyPillow.com and get up to 66% off!***
The organization said on June 22 that it had resumed providing those abortions in the wake of the ruling.
“This decision brings compassion and common sense back to Missouri health care,” Emily Wales, president and CEO of Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, said in a statement.
“For too long, politicians forced patients to leave the state for an evidence-based and trusted form of abortion care. Now, that care is coming home and with it, we move closer to fulfilling the promise of reproductive freedom Missourians demanded.”
Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway criticized the development.
“This radical decision gives abortion providers a free pass to police themselves,” Hanaway said in a statement.
“Women are no longer entitled to the same level of care in an abortion clinic that they would receive in other healthcare settings: providers are no longer required to maintain complication plans or insurance, and the state cannot even conduct basic health and safety inspections to ensure patient safety.”
Hanaway said she would appeal the ruling to the Missouri Supreme Court.

Europe's heatwave meltdown: France shuts down nuclear reactor over fears 46C heat could cause disaster and 'heat dome' causes deaths across continent

By ELIANA SILVER, SENIOR FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER and PERKIN AMALARAJ, FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER
Published: 04:09 EDT, 23 June 2026 | Updated: 08:30 EDT, 23 June 2026
Europe is sweltering under a heat dome pushing temperatures in parts of the continent to 46C, as deaths rise and the risk of disaster grows.
The spike in temperatures is being driven by a mass of hot air moving north from the Sahara, fuelled by a strong high‑pressure system known as the 'African anticyclone.'
Meteorologists say the system is creating a so‑called 'heat dome,' trapping hot air over western and central Europe and allowing temperatures to build day after day.
In France, 40 people have tragically drowned while seeking reprieve from the heat since June 18 according to Sebastien Lecornu, the country's prime minister who added the deaths occurred 'mainly among young people.'
He will hold a crisis meeting today to discuss the extreme weather bringing the country to its knees.
The government's emergency response cell warned people not to try to cool off in unsupervised areas such as lakes and rivers after the drowning deaths at the weekend, which included a 13-year-old girl.
Similarly in Germany a spike in fatal swimming accidents saw five deaths over the weekend.
Two men aged 20 and 22 drowned in lakes in Bavaria, and a 79-year-old woman died in the Baltic Sea. Other fatal swimming accidents occurred in lakes in Brandenburg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
And in the UK thunderstorms and torrential rain sparked widespread disruption across Britain today after some 3,000 lightning strikes hit London in just two hours.
A violent band of storms swept across southern England overnight bringing flash flooding, power cuts and travel disruption before Britain braces for what could become one of the hottest days ever recorded in the UK later this week.
The storms are expected to give way to soaring temperatures as the heat dome builds across western Europe, with forecasters warning Britain could experience its hottest June day on record.
The heatwave may have already proved deadly.
Yesterday two toddlers were tragically found dead in a car in France. The children, aged two and four, were found unconscious by their mother in the family car outside their home in Carpentras.
'The causes of death are yet to be determined, but the heatwave is the leading line of inquiry,' said Helene Mourges, the prosecutor in the town of Carpentras, where temperatures had been forecast to reach a maximum of 39C.
The day before, three elderly people died in their residence in Gironde in the southwest as a result of the high temperatures.
At the Pean nursing home for the retired in Paris, the staff have jumped into action to protect vulnerable residents, carrying around pitchers of water.
'It's not enough to put down a glass of water and tell them to drink. You have to be sure they actually do,' said head nurse Badra Hamadi.
The country's national weather agency said that it experienced its hottest night from Monday to Tuesday since measurements began in 1947.
The national temperature indicator - an average of readings from 30 stations across France - reached 21.6C, according to preliminary figures taken Tuesday morning. The previous record was 21.4C, set on July 25, 2019.
France has switched off a reactor at a nuclear plant near Toulouse because cooling water drawn from a nearby river had got too warm, a spokeswoman said.
The Golfech plant near Toulouse is cooled by the Garonne river but the water had warmed beyond the safe level of 28C.
Harsh temperatures are expected to linger until at least Thursday, with conditions possibly intensifying as the week continues. The European heat dome comes after a May that saw several countries report record temperatures for that time of year.
Weather bosses have put 49 of the 96 mainland departments on a red alert weather warning, up from 35 over the weekend.
Paris officials have warned people to avoid travel. 'The transport network comes under severe strain in periods of extreme heat... railways cannot withstand temperatures above 50 degrees,' the head of the Ile-de-France greater Paris region, Valerie Pecresse, told journalists.
'That is why we have advised all passengers who can to postpone their journeys, particularly vulnerable people, and for everyone who is able to work from home to do so.'
Business leaders said the economy was also taking a hit.
'France is running at a slow pace. Businesses, as far as possible, are implementing recommendations to protect their employees,' the head of France's MEDEF employers group, Patrick Martin, told BFM TV. In several places across Paris, shops had run out of electric fans amid surging demand.
Forecasters warned that scorching weather could end up being as serious as a 2003 heatwave that claimed the lives of nearly 15,000 people nationwide.
Over in Spain, where parts of the centre and northeast hit 40C, authorities issued a swathe of orange and red weather warnings across large parts of the Iberian Peninsula and Mallorca.
Spanish weather bosses said the country's heatwave would last until at least the middle of the week.
Nearly all of Spain was under a heat alert on Tuesday, with parts of the south and north of the country placed on the highest warning level as a heatwave grips most of western Europe.
National weather agency AEMET issued red alerts - a warning for 'extraordinary danger' - for areas around the southern city of Cordoba, the northern city of Bilbao and parts of the northern region of Cantabria.
Temperatures of up to 40C in the shade were forecast in parts of the Basque Country on the border with France, an area where such extreme heat is relatively uncommon.
Large swathes of central and northern Spain were placed under orange alerts - the second-highest level- while most of the remainder of the country was covered by yellow warnings. Only areas on the coastline escaped heat alerts.
In Barcelona, where temperatures have been rising without hitting the extremes seen elsewhere in the country, 76-year-old Jose Farre was forced to take advantage of the cooler early hours to do his shopping in the Catalan capital.
'I have a heart condition, I'm diabetic and I feel it a lot,' he said, explaining that the rising temperatures have made it harder for him to sleep and even breathe.
'We've gained several degrees between my youth and today... But what bothers you the most is the humidity,' he insisted. Fears of wildfires and other incidents have also seen restrictions on Tuesday's celebrations for Catalonia's traditional feast day of Saint John, usually marked with fireworks and bonfires.
The authorities have called for extreme caution and have imposed a ban on setting off firecrackers or throwing flaming objects within 1,640 feet of a forest.
They also advised residents and visitors to take precautions during the heatwave, including drinking water regularly, staying in cool environments, limiting outdoor physical activity during the hottest hours of the day and taking extra care of vulnerable people.
In Germany, where temperatures have already reached as high as 38C, the DWD weather service warned of severe thunderstorms in eastern regions including Berlin, where heavy rain disrupted the open‑air F
ête de la Musique festival.Organisers had to evacuate the grounds of the Berlin Open as heavy rain and strong winds set in, and as fans awaited the tennis tournament's singles final between Jessica Pegula of the US and Linda Noskova of the Czech Republic.
And in Italy, 15 cities are now on red alert, with the number expected to rise to 16 cities on Wednesday.
The cities are Bologna, Bolzano, Brescia, Florence, Frosinone, Milan, Perugia, Pescara, Rieti, Rome, Turin, Verona, Venice, Viterbo, and Ancona.
Latina in central Italy will join the list on Wednesday.
During a red alert - the highest level - the ministry advises people to eat light, stay indoors in the hottest parts of the day and sprinkle themselves with cool water.
In Rome, people were seen cooling off in water fountains in the city's Piazza Venezia.
In the capital, the transport authority admitted that the batteries on the city's new electric buses are running out before the end of the drivers' shifts because of more intensive use of air conditioning.
'We are organising the service to face up to this unusual heatwave,' the Atac transport authority was quoted by the Corriere della Sera daily as saying.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Belgium are expected to be 'the hottest ever recorded' there in the coming week, warned David Dehenauw, head of forecasting at the IRM meteorological institute.
Belgium's national rail company SNCB announced that some rush hour trains had been cancelled for Monday and Tuesday to reduce the risk of breakdowns blocking the tracks amid the heat dome.
Soaring temperatures forced a primary school in Tervuren, near Brussels, to relocate its final exams to a nearby church.
'Too hot in the classroom, then we'll do the exams in the church,' the school wrote on its Instagram, posting footage of pupils taking their tests from rows of church chairs.
Here in the UK, Liz Bentley, chief executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, predicted that existing UK heat records for June would be 'annihilated' - as had already happened in May.
'The coming week will bring an unprecedented heatwave with temperatures likely to reach 38-39 degrees Celsius,' she predicted. 'The current June record is 35.6 degrees Celsius.
'This will lead to two consecutive months, May and June, in which the UK temperature records have been annihilated by well over 2C,' she added.
The UK's meteorological office issued the highest level of heat warning for parts of central and southern England for Wednesday and Thursday, with temperatures in the shade potentially rising as high as 40C in some places.
'An exceptional spell of hot and humid weather is expected across this region' covering London, Birmingham, Bath and other areas of England, the Met Office said Monday, a month after Britain broke its May temperature record. It was only the second time the Met Office has issued such a warning.
'It is now likely the current highest temperature on record for June will be broken, this being 35.6C recorded in Southampton in June 1976 and Camden Square in June 1957,' the forecaster said.
Schools in southwest England said they were planning to finish the day early, and a train company said it was cancelling or changing some of its services out of London because of the 'severe weather'.
Transport systems across Europe came under strain. Britain's Network Rail also warned that passengers should only take essential train journeys on Wednesday and Thursday.
Services may be disrupted or slowed as operators impose speed restrictions to protect infrastructure.
Some transport routes were disrupted overnight due to a series of intense thunderstorms in London, including at Heathrow Airport.
The UN has warned the weather over the next five years will likely see more shattered heat records.
Akshay Deoras, a senior researcher at the University of Reading's National Centre for Atmospheric Science, in England, said it was clear what was behind the rash of heat records.
'Human-driven climate change has provided the springboard for this event, loading the atmosphere with extra heat and making extreme temperatures far more intense than they would have been in the past,' he said.
A study found that human-caused climate change led to the deaths of 1,500 people across Europe during an unusual May heatwave.

By L Todd Wood
June 22, 2026Law enforcement agencies could soon gain the ability to follow not only vehicles but also the personal electronic devices of drivers and passengers, thanks to a new system that merges traditional license plate scanning with wireless device tracking.
The technology, called SignalTrace, comes from Italian defense giant Leonardo. It builds upon existing automated license plate reader (ALPR) networks already installed on roadsides and in public spaces. Rather than stopping at vehicle plates, SignalTrace collects signals from smartphones, Bluetooth wearables like smartwatches and earbuds, RFID badges, and even pet microchips to create a persistent digital profile tied to specific cars.
According to materials reviewed by 404 Media, the system uses algorithms to detect when multiple devices travel consistently alongside a particular vehicle. It then links those devices to the vehicle’s license plate and precise location history, generating what the company describes as an “electronic fingerprint.”
This capability could help investigators track suspects even when license plates are swapped, removed, or obscured, reported SOFX.
Privacy advocates warn that such expanded tracking raises serious civil liberties issues. Groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation have long criticized ALPR systems for mapping people’s daily movements and associations, creating detailed “patterns of life” without warrants or probable cause. Adding personal device data to the mix significantly amplifies those concerns.
Leonardo has not publicly responded to the latest privacy questions surrounding SignalTrace. The company secured a patent for the core technology in 2024. In its announcement, Leonardo stressed that the system only captures emitted device frequencies and does not access or decrypt the actual content of phones, messages, or communications.
Officials at the company have also stated that SignalTrace was built to respect individual rights. The system reportedly holds data passively and only releases it in response to legitimate law enforcement requests following a crime.
Leonardo provides equipment and software to police forces, security services, and government agencies. The rollout of SignalTrace underscores a broader trend: surveillance infrastructure that once focused solely on vehicles is rapidly evolving to monitor the digital devices people carry with them every day.
This development is likely to fuel ongoing debates about the appropriate limits of public surveillance technology in balancing security needs with personal privacy.

Israelis Are Livid Over Trump Ending War, Overwhelmingly Believe Iran Won: Poll
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
After roping President Trump into breaking a core campaign promise, watching the
United States expend resources and risk American lives to attack Iran, and then
watching Trump take steps to end the war via MOU - Israelis are livid because the US didn't commit to full-on decimation to
celebrate America's 250th, and say Iran came out ahead.
According to a survey conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in
partnership with the Agam Institute, 92.1% of
Israelis believe Iran came out ahead in the conflict and the US-brokered
deal that followed.
Even among voters loyal to Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu's conservative bloc, 93.1% said Iran won. 82.9%
of respondents said the six-week military campaign against Iran left
Israel's long-term security weaker, not stronger. Another 86%
hold a negative view of both the way the fighting ended and the way Washington
negotiated the subsequent deal without meaningful Israeli input. Nearly 88%
of Israelis believe their country either fell short of its war aims entirely or
achieved only partial success, despite the stated
objectives being nothing less than dismantling
Iran's nuclear program, neutering its missile arsenal, and toppling the regime
in Tehran. Those were the goals. None of them, by
the public's own assessment, were fully met.
Netanyahu has tried to project confidence
in the signing of
the Memorandum of Understanding anyway. At a press conference Monday, he insisted
Iran will never possess nuclear weapons "as long as I am prime
minister of Israel." As we noted on Tuesday, hardline
Israeli politicians are livid over the Iran deal, and want Netanyahu out
so they can do 'real regime change.'
"With an agreement or without an agreement,
Iran will not have nuclear weapons - not today and not tomorrow," he
said, calling the mission his "life's mission." He has also maintained
that the nuclear threat from Iran was an
"immediate danger" that Israel removed "together with our
American friends."
Either way, Israelis aren't buying it. 72.5%
of respondents reject Netanyahu's claim that Israel secured major gains and
eliminated an existential threat. Only 26.5%
rate his handling of the war as "good" or "excellent," while
56.4% call it "failed" or "poor." His personal
approval as prime minister has collapsed from 40.5% in early March to 29.4% in
June, a fifteen-point swing in roughly three months.
And of course, there's Trump... with 69.1%
of respondents rated his handling of the war and the resulting deal as
"failed" or "poor," against just 10.8% who called it
"good" or "excellent." Quite the change in sentiment
from his 2024 election win...
Despite the widespread belief that the Iran campaign backfired, 48.2% of Israelis say their country should renew major military action
against Hezbollah, including strikes in Beirut, even if that means
clashing with Trump, who has made clear he wants
the fighting in Lebanon to stop. Only 20.9% oppose that course, with the
remaining 30.9% undecided. Israelis appear simultaneously convinced the last war
was mishandled and eager for the next one.
Just 12.2% of respondents believe Israel achieved most of the stated goals
against Hamas
and Hezbollah following the October 7, 2023 attacks while 61.3% say Israel
achieved none of them, and 26.5% say only some were met.
Across the Atlantic, the reception looks entirely different. A Quantus national
poll of 1,000 likely US voters found 43% strongly approve and another 13%
somewhat approve of the preliminary US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.
Combined disapproval sits at just 13%.
The Trump administration has been trying to respond to criticism of the deal,
while Israeli cabinet members are talking mad shit about Trump - to the point
where VP JD Vance came very close to asking if they've even said 'pwease' or
'thank you.'
Vance defended the MOU
during Thursday's White House briefing, pushing back on
what he said was misleading media coverage. “The
simple fact is that the only way the Iranians get any of those resources - not a
single penny, by the way, from the United States of America under any
circumstances - but the only way that they would ever get any benefit of the
bargain is if they comply fully, and change their behavior," Vance said of
Iran, adding that Tehran's military and nuclear
program "is still destroyed" if Iran refuses to change course.
He also said that compliance would bring "a transformative relationship
with the Middle East."
? WOW! JD Vance is DIRECTLY calling out Israeli cabinet members for their
personal attacks on President Trump
"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… pic.twitter.com/0H9yGH8ubL
— Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) June 18, 2026
The Hebrew University-Agam Institute survey was conducted June 17–20, using a
weighted sample of 3,644 Israelis aged 17 and over, designed to reflect the
broader population, and has a maximum sampling error of just 2.2% at a 99%
confidence level.
Maybe they'll just keep attacking Lebanon to scuttle the peace deal?
???? Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir:
"We cannot stop destroying houses in southern
Lebanon. We cannot stop, period.
We cannot allow the population of southern Lebanon to return. ... We must
continue to control the territory even if Trump disagrees."
PSYCHO.

Hollywood Star Exposes The Perverse, ‘Demonic’ Fraud Inside Foster Care
System
By Staff | Lifesite
June 22nd, 2026 6:15 AM
Actress and singer Jen Lilley went on the
Shawn Ryan Podcast to discuss her experiences as a
foster care parent.
FosterCareInterview @ShawnRyan762 / X screenshot
(LifeSiteNews) — A Christian Hollywood star has
exposed the dark side of the foster care system which incentivises the bad
behavior of people who medically and socially abuse children placed in
their care.
Actress and singer Jen Lilley, a popular leading lady on the Hallmark and Great
American Family Channels, went on the Shawn Ryan Podcast to discuss her
experiences as a foster care parent.
Lilley explained how “bad people” make money
by gaming the foster care system.
The actress recounted a disturbing exchange at a Los Angeles conference where she
spoke with more experienced foster care
parents.
“Oh honey, I make $28,000 a month off foster
care … because I have this many kids,” one woman said.
“Here’s the thing: You want to get a D-Rate
kid,” this woman continued, explaining that the
more medical, emotional, and behavioral needs a child has, the more the foster
care system will reimburse the foster parent.
“You want to make sure they fail in school.
If they fail in school and you can get them on
medication, your rate goes up,” the woman told Lilley. “Every
time they don’t pass a grade, your rate goes up because they’re a
more difficult kid. Every time they need medication, your rate goes up.”
Lilley declared, “This is a demonic situation that exists
because
the church closed her doors.”
According to a 2025 report by The Up Center, a Virginia-based
nonprofit that supports foster families, several factors do indeed determine how
much financial support a foster family receives, including:
Special Needs: Children with medical,
emotional, or behavioral challenges qualify for higher reimbursement
rates.
Age Groups: Older children typically have higher
stipends due to increased costs for clothing, food, and activities.
Location: Payments vary by state, and sometimes even by county, depending
on cost of living.
Emergency Placement: Short-term or
emergency foster care may provide higher daily
rates due to urgent needs.
Level of Care: Therapeutic or treatment foster care, where children
require more specialized attention, comes with significantly higher payments.
Foster care payments range up to $1,200 per month
per child depending on the state, age of the child, and level of care
required.
Lilley noted that the intention of increasing the
rates is likely meant to “incentivise
good people to stick with it, but what it did was to incentivise all the wrong
people — people who are in it for the money instead of for the love of
a child.”

China Sanctions 10 US Defense, Rare Earth Firms, Restricts 46 From Govt
Procurement Weeks After Pentagon Blacklist
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
China said on Monday that it will add 10 American
firms to its export control list, including two rare earth firms MP Materials
and USA Rare Earth, while also restricting
46 US firms from government procurement,
signaling it would respond
to Washington’s recent expansion of a military blacklist, even amid a broader
stabilization of bilateral ties, the SCMP reported.
The Ministry of Commerce said in a statement on Monday that the 10 American firms to be added to the export control list were
AVEOX (Simi Valley, California)
Red Cat Holdings and Teal Drones (South Salt Lake, Utah)
IMSAR (Springville, Utah)
Jaia Robotics (Bristol, Rhode Island)
Ball Aerospace & Technologies (Broomfield, Colorado)
Oshkosh Defense (Oshkosh, Wisconsin)
L3Harris Maritime Services (Norfolk, Virginia)
MP Materials (Las Vegas, Nevada)
USA Rare Earth (Stillwater, Oklahoma)
It's notable that China's commerce ministry had
already imposed curbs on a number of these listed firms and their subsidiaries,
both in 2024 and 2025 over US arms sales to Taiwan. More notably, the
inclusion of critical rare earth players like MP Materials and USA Rare Earth
underscores Beijing's willingness to weaponize its monopoly over the global
magnet and rare earths supply chains.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said the decisions were made in response to “malicious actions” by the US
government, after the US Department of Defence expanded its list of
“Chinese military companies”.
“China has decided, in accordance with the relevant laws and provisions… to
include Aveox, Inc. and nine other US military-related entities on the export
control list. The export of dual-use items to these entities is prohibited, and
no export operators shall violate the above provisions,” said the commerce
ministry spokesperson.
Analysts said that the measures from both sides so far were unlikely to
significantly derail relations, though they also warned of the impact
from any escalation. As we reported, on June 9, the Pentagon
said it was adding dozens of Chinese companies - including tech giants
Alibaba and Baidu - to a list of entities it says were linked to China’s
military, widening a blacklist perceived as
targeting sectors at the heart of US-China technological competition. The
designation cut the firms off from US defense procurement; however, Baidu had
quickly shot back, calling the suggestion that it is a military company
"totally baseless".
So the U.S. publishes a list of Chinese Military
Companies—which imposes no sanctions or
restrictions on those companies, it’s just a list—and China responds with
actual export controls on multiple U.S. companies. Seems like a good time for
Commerce to issue the Entity List… https://t.co/3JIAMuWVfK
— Chris McGuire (@ChrisRMcGuire) June 22, 2026
The commerce ministry cited provisions of
China’s laws on export control of dual-use items - products with both civilian
and military applications - as well as the need to safeguard national security
and fulfill "international non-proliferation obligations."
Specifically, export operators are prohibited from
shipping dual-use items to the 10 firms. Organizations and individuals
from any country or region are also prohibited from transferring or providing any
dual-use item that originated in China to these businesses.
The notice mandated that any export currently under way that falls under the law
must be stopped immediately.
Taiwan remains a sticking point in this tense ongoing diplomatic and defense
tug-of-war, but Rubio has still
lately confirmed that a proposed $14 billion arms
package to Taiwan remains "under review" - in the wake of
fierce Beijing objections.
According to the Wall Street Journal, here what was likely behind Beijing's
calculus:
China’s actions
on Monday “likely serve
to build leverage for China in the ongoing negotiations with the U.S.,”
said Henry Gao, a trade expert and professor of law at Singapore Management
University. “In terms of the trade truce, this
development introduces additional friction, but it does not necessarily
derail the process.”
MP Materials, which enjoys financial backing from the Pentagon, is a leading U.S.
miner and processor of rare earths. Although USA
Rare Earth is less established as a player in the emerging industry, both
companies are aggressively ramping up capacity in an attempt to break China’s
stranglehold over the global supply chain of the key materials. MP
Materials and USA Rare Earth didn’t immediately respond to a request for
comment.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Ministry of Finance also released a statement saying it
would restrict 46 US firms from government
procurement, excluding those involved in China-based US-Sino joint
ventures, effective immediately. The list of 46 US
companies includes Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Missiles & Defence, General
Atomics Aeronautical Systems, BDS (Boeing Defence, Space & Security),
General Dynamics Land Systems and Javelin Joint Venture, a 50-50 partnership
between Lockheed Martin and Raytheon.
Cameron Johnson, a partner at Shanghai-based consultancy Tidalwave Solutions,
said the move is Beijing’s “brushback pitch”
– a warning against other possible sanctions on China or its firms.
“This is a reaction to the US’ recent blacklisting by the Pentagon,” he
said. “This also serves as a warning against any
possible sanctions, such as ones targeting China’s open-source AI tools
that are currently being discussed in the US.”
Johnson said that more trade sanctions were likely
from both the US and China, as both countries attempt to increase
leverage before President Xi Jinping’s visit to the US in September.
“So when they meet, they can use these measures
as chips at the bargaining table,” he said.
Earlier this month, the Pentagon added
technology giant Alibaba Group Holding, electric vehicle
makers BYD and Nio, search engine Baidu, robot maker Unitree Robotics,
networking equipment maker TP-Link and other Chinese companies in artificial
intelligence, biotechnology and the solar sector to a list of “Chinese
military companies”.
The designation, under Section 1260H of the National Defence
Authorisation Act, can complicate firms’ access
to US capital markets and government business, although it does not
automatically trigger sanctions. Observers also said “reputational
stigma” could affect the Chinese firms involved, and that the move could pave
the way for tougher sanctions by the US.
For China, Johnson said the top leadership was also continuing to expand its export controls to blunt
the impact from the US, particularly in non-proliferation compliance or
in relation to activities or commodity trading it sees as detrimental to China
and its companies.
Xin Qiang, a professor and deputy director of the Centre for American Studies at
Fudan University, said Beijing was making it clear
it would fight back against trade sanctions or designations, but that the
ball is now in the US’ court.
“Beijing is making it clear it’s not afraid of
tactical confrontation” he said.
Xin, however, warned that any further escalation could cast a pall over Xi’s
planned September trip to the US.
“I think the next step will likely depend on
whether the US continues to introduce new sanctions or confrontational
measures. If so, China will certainly retaliate. If
this falls into a vicious cycle, the impact will be extremely negative.”

GM replaces more than 1,000 workers with 50 robots at flagship Detroit plant:
‘We’re disgusted’
By Brandon Cruz
Published June 21,
2026, 3:43 p.m. ET
General Motors has gutted its electric-vehicle ambitions and killed more than
1,000 jobs at its flagship Detroit assembly plant
— replacing those
workers with 50 robots and sparking outrage from labor unions.
The “collaborative robots,” or “cobots,”
have been installed on the assembly line at GM’s
Factory Zero plant in Michigan amid a sharply reduced demand for its EV
models and the ensuing push to cut costs, reports said.
The machines are now working alongside the remaining humans there who attach the
body panels to vehicles as they move down the track, according to AutoBlog.
The automaker insists the cobots are not replacements
to human workers and are actually necessary at the Detroit-Hamtramck
electric-truck plant to stay competitive while improving “safety and
ergonomics” for the workers, according to Crain’s Detroit Business and a
company spokesman.
“We’ve been installing cobots across
our manufacturing footprint as part of a broader push to
bring more advanced technology into our operations,” spokesman Kevin
Kelly said.
“At Factory ZERO, we are implementing them alongside our team — helping improve
safety and ergonomics, while keeping our
operations flexible and competitive,” he said, adding that the workers
let go are only temporarily laid off.
Kelly did not specify if or when those workers would eventually return to work.
But United Auto Workers Local 22 president
James Cotton isn’t buying it, saying the machines
are simply a cost-cutting measure that is taking jobs from his union
members.
“Our manpower is being taken away from us,” Cotton said, according to Crains.
“From top to bottom, we’re disgusted that they have cobots in our plants,”
he said.
The number of labor hours required to produce a
car has declined 50% to 70% since the 1980s, Crains reported.
But that hasn’t stopped UAW wages from going up.
The union was able to make historic wage gains in 2023, and the union
will likely seek stronger protections in its upcoming 2028 contract
negotiations, the outlet said.
Cotton said that despite the company’s claim of the technology making
conditions safer, he has safety concerns with robots working next to humans and
noted the union has since filed grievances against
GM over the cobots.
The cobots arrived as GM is getting hammered by
slowing EV demand — largely because of the costs, according to AAA —
with the automaker pausing production at Factory Zero multiple times over the
past year.
In response to GM’s heavy automation push and cobot installation, UAW
president Shawn Fain said workers are “in a fight for humanity,” reported the News
Tribune.
“The fruits of our labor have multiplied like
never before, but workers aren’t reaping the harvest,” he said,
according to the outlet.
“And if AI continues to be used as an accessory to that crime, it has to be
stopped — it doesn’t have to be this way — in a just society, when workers
create more value, they see more of the benefit.”
In the first quarter of 2026, GM reported $4.25 billion
in profits, up 22% from the same period the previous year, according to
Yahoo! Finance.

New York To Pay Prostitutes Millions For Free Healthcare
Gov. Kathy Hochul (Marc A. Hermann / MTA)
Spencer Lombardo June
22, 2026 5:05 PM ET
New Yorkers are set to keep paying for prostitutes’ STD treatments and birth
control.
Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration will
spend an additional $1.5 million in tax-dollars on prostitutes’ healthcare,
reviving the $1 million pilot program without legislative approval, The
New York Post reported Friday.
New York State Department of Public Health, Hochul’s office, Community Health
Project, and Evergreen Health did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller
News Foundation’s request for comment.
Community Health Project owns the Callen-Lorde
Community Health Center (Callen-Lorde) in Brooklyn, which “pioneered
healthcare equity in the spirit of resistance—and with a deep commitment to
fighting stigma and health disparities,” according to its website.
The New York State Department of Public Health’s AIDS
Institute granted Callen-Lorde’s and Evergreen Health’s parent corporations
$1 million to cover prostitutes’ primary, behavioral, dental, and sexual
health services, The Post reported July 2023. The department recently
extended the program through 2028 after expiring last year.
“The lengths by which New York Democrats will
cater to the far left has no greater example then [sic] Gov. Hochul funding
healthcare for hookers to the tune of millions while actual frontline healthcare
workers … live on food stamps,” Republican Assemblyman Michael
Novakhov reportedly said. “Instead of playing pimp, Kathy ‘Ho-Ho’
Hochul and Mayor ‘Madam’ Mamdani should consider making sure the heroes who
answer 911 calls and save lives every day can afford their rent and
groceries.”
The extension came after calls from Democratic firebrands such as New York City
Mayor Zohran Mamdani in favor of decriminalizing prostitution,
according to The Post.
“Not only must we decriminalize sex work, we
need a comprehensive platform of justice for all,” Mamdani stated in an
X post during his May 2020 campaign for state assembly.
“[Hochul] is a target and trying to keep them [Mamdani
and state Democratic Socialists of America] at bay [during her re-election bid]
with other people’s money,” Republican Assemblyman Sam
Pirozzolo reportedly said. He also
pointed out how prostitutes can already receive abortions and pills for sexually
transmitted diseases at medical facilities for free within the state.

across the Atlantic and is expected to reach parts of the southeastern US
in the coming days.
The vast cloud consists of extremely dry,
dust-filled air that forms over the Sahara Desert before being carried thousands
of miles westward by strong winds.
Light to moderate Saharan dust has already begun drifting into South Florida,
including the Miami area, creating hazy skies, suppressing
thunderstorm activity and contributing to
hotter, drier conditions.
Forecasters said a drier air mass, fueled by an approaching plume of Saharan dust, will move
into the region beginning Tuesday.
The dust is expected to continue filtering across
the state through the week, with its effects becoming increasingly
noticeable by midweek.
Saharan dust contains fine particles, PM10 and especially PM2.5, minerals like
quartz and feldspar, and sometimes microbes or pollutants
picked up during transport.
These can be inhaled deep into the lungs or enter
the bloodstream, causing respiratory and
cardiovascular issues.
Other impacts include eye, nose, skin and throat
irritation, headaches, fatigue and allergic reactions.
The Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources Management has
issued an Air Quality Alert for fine particulate
pollution that will remain in effect until 3pm ET Tuesday.
The alert covers inland, metropolitan, coastal and
far southern portions of Miami-Dade County, including Miami,
Hialeah, Kendall, Kendale Lakes, Carol City, Florida City, Redland, Fortymile
Bend, Shark Valley Observation Tower, Pa-Hay Okee Overlook, Mahogany Hammock and
Royal Palm Ranger Station.
Officials warned that concentrations of fine
particulate matter may approach or exceed levels considered unhealthy,
potentially affecting air quality across the region.
The greatest impacts of the Sahara dust are
forecast from the middle of the week into the weekend as high pressure builds and
additional dust arrives from the Atlantic.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve later in the week
as moisture returns, although Saharan dust
outbreaks are common across the southeastern US during the summer months.
Forecasters warned the plume could worsen
conditions during an ongoing heat wave.
The NWS said temperatures will continue to climb into the mid-90s, while heat
index values could reach between 105 and 110 degrees.
The arrival of the plume also means quiet hurricane activity.
As the dust travels toward the US, a dry pocket of air forms thousands of feet
above sea level, bringing drier air and hotter conditions, suppressing tropical
developments like hurricanes by removing the moisture they need to form.
Each summer, seasonal weather patterns like the
West African Monsoon and high-pressure systems create strong winds that sweep
across the Sahara.
These winds pick up tiny particles known as
aeolian dust and lift them into the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the Bermuda-Azores High, a
high-pressure system over the Atlantic Ocean, produces steady east-to-west winds
that help carry the dust across the ocean.
Another pattern, the African Easterly Jet, helps
push the dust higher into the air and even farther west.
Together, these wind systems can transport Saharan
dust over 5,000 miles, often reaching the Caribbean, Florida, and the
Gulf Coast.
Dust activity usually peaks between June and mid-August, though the amount of
dust varies from year to year.

Canadian PM Carney ‘horrified’ by Montreal shooting near Jewish sites
Quebec Province Premier Christine Fréchette condemned the attack as an act that has
“no place” in Canadian society and stated that she was “deeply shaken”
by the shooting.
By GOLDIE KATZ
JUNE 23, 2026 01:40
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that he
was “horrified” to learn of a shooting attack in a heavily Jewish
neighborhood in Montreal, Quebec, on Monday in which at least two people,
including a police officer, were killed.
“My thoughts are with the victims, their loved
ones, the first responders, and the entire community of Côte‑des‑Neiges,”
Carney said in a post on X/Twitter.
Quebec Province Premier Christine Fréchette
similarly shared that she was “deeply shaken”
by the attack and that the government of Quebec “is offering its full
cooperation to the authorities involved and will remain present to support the
victims, their loved ones, and the community.”
Fréchette condemned the attack as an act that has “no place” in Canadian
society.
"I would like to thank the police officers, first responders, and all those
working on the ground," she stated, adding that an investigation into the
incident is still ongoing.
In a press briefing later on Monday, Fréchette
announced that the Quebec flag will be flown at half-mast in the aftermath of
the shooting. She also stated that the province
will dispatch psychological support teams to any individual affected by
the attack who needs them.
Minister of Diaspora Affairs decries rise in
antisemitic violence in Canada
Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli stated in a post on X/Twitter that
he is closely monitoring the situation and that his ministry is in ongoing
contact with community leaders and relevant authorities in Montreal.
“The Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating
Antisemitism stands ready to assist, support, and stand alongside the community
during this difficult time,” he continued.
While the motivation behind the attack has not yet been confirmed by Canadian
authorities, Chikli decried the rise in
antisemitic violence against Canada’s Jewish communities over the past two
years.
“As we have warned time and again, it is only a
matter of time before there will be loss of innocent lives,” Chikli stated,
urging local authorities to “stop with the condemnations and committees, and
start with the action.”
Israel’s consulate in Montreal also extended its thoughts and prayers
to all impacted
by the shooting in a post on X/Twitter.
“We offer our most sincere condolences to the victims, their families, and all
those affected by this tragedy,” the consulate said in a statement released on
social media.
The consulate also expressed appreciation for the swift responses of Montreal
Police (SPVM) and local law enforcement agencies.

First round of US-Iran talks ends with 60-day roadmap toward final deal, mediators say
Iran says Qatar and Pakistan’s ‘tireless’ mediation helped advance efforts to end the Lebanon war, as US-Iran talks in Switzerland move to technical teams
ynet, News Agencies|Yesterday | 21:25
Qatar and Pakistan said Monday that the first round of high-level talks between the United States and Iran had concluded in Switzerland with “encouraging progress,” including a 60-day roadmap toward a final agreement and new mechanisms meant to prevent escalation in the Strait of Hormuz and Lebanon.
The talks at the Qatari-owned Bürgenstock resort followed a tense opening in which Tehran said it had again restricted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to resume attacks on Iran if it tried to close the waterway.
The Lake Lucerne Summit was held under the framework of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding and included representatives from Iran, the United States and the two mediating countries, Qatar and Pakistan. A U.S. official said Vice President JD Vance took part in the talks with Iranian officials.
In a joint statement, Qatar and Pakistan said the talks were conducted in a “positive and constructive atmosphere” and had produced “encouraging progress,” including the creation of a mechanism for further technical negotiations.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said separately that the work of the negotiating delegation had concluded, but that technical teams would continue their discussions, according to Iranian state and semi-official media. He said a text issued by Qatar and Pakistan would outline the general points agreed during 18 hours of talks and would be presented as the document of understandings reached in Switzerland.
According to the joint statement, the parties agreed to establish a High-Level Committee to provide political oversight of the mediation. Chief negotiators will report regularly to the committee and lead working groups focused on nuclear issues, sanctions, monitoring and dispute resolution, as well as other matters related to implementing the memorandum.
The committee also agreed on a roadmap aimed at reaching a final deal within 60 days, laying the groundwork for the immediate start of additional technical talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the “tireless” mediation by Pakistan and Qatar had delivered major progress toward ending the war in Lebanon. He said oil and petrochemical exports had received waivers, the blockade had been lifted, some frozen Iranian assets had been released and a major reconstruction and development plan for Iran had been launched.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said the sides discussed the basis for beginning negotiations toward a final agreement and that “good progress” had been made in Switzerland, according to IRNA and Press TV.
The mediators said the parties had also agreed to open a communication line to avoid incidents and miscommunication, with the goal of ensuring safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz.
The strait, a key choke point for global energy shipments, had become a central point of dispute before the talks. Iran said it had restricted traffic because the United States had failed to ensure a halt to fighting in Lebanon, while U.S. officials disputed that the waterway had been closed. Commercial shipping data cited in the report showed five vessels passed through the strait on Sunday, down from 26 a day earlier.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz had been discussed and that the sides agreed to arrange a mechanism.
The joint statement also said the parties agreed to create a de-confliction cell involving the negotiating parties and Lebanon, facilitated by the mediators, to ensure adherence to the termination of military operations in Lebanon under the memorandum.
A U.S. diplomat involved in the talks said late Sunday that the sides had discussed “the Strait, Lebanon, nuclear issues, and details of implementing the MOU, among other topics.” The diplomat said discussions also included “clarifying some of the confusing messaging from Iran on the Strait and building deconfliction mechanisms to ensure the Strait will remain fully open.”
The talks were held against the backdrop of continued violence in Lebanon despite a new ceasefire announcement Friday. Trump warned Iran on social media to stop its “proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble,” saying the United States would strike Iran again if it did not rein them in. Vance, however, said Trump had asked U.S. officials to “turn over a new leaf” in relations with the Iranian people.
Technical talks are expected to continue at Bürgenstock for the remainder of the week.
Qatar and Pakistan said they would continue working to ensure that negotiations proceed in a constructive atmosphere, with the goal of reaching a final deal. The mediators also expressed appreciation to the United States and Iran for what they described as their commitment to diplomacy and a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Millions told to stay indoors as lung-damaging toxins blanket two US states

Millions of Americans are being told to stay indoors as dangerous air pollution reaches unhealthy levels across parts of multiple states on Friday.
The National Weather Service has issued multiple air quality alerts covering major population centers of Colorado and California as ozone smog, fine particle pollution and windblown dust threaten to worsen respiratory conditions.
The alerts affect communities stretching from Colorado's Front Range Urban Corridor to Southern California's Coachella Valley and parts of East Los Angeles.
Breathing in ozone can significantly damage human lungs, along with triggering breathing difficulties, asthma attacks and other health problems, particularly among children, older adults and people with existing lung disease.
In Colorado, hot temperatures and stagnant weather conditions are allowing ozone pollution to build near the ground.
Officials in California are battling separate pollution events driven by harmful fine particles and wind-blown dust.
Residents in affected areas are being urged to reduce strenuous outdoor activity and take steps to keep indoor air clean.
The alerts remain in effect Friday, with some areas expected to remain under warnings through Saturday morning.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued an Ozone Action Day Alert for the Front Range Urban Corridor, covering Douglas, Jefferson, Denver, western Arapahoe, western Adams, Broomfield, Boulder, Larimer and Weld counties.
The alert began Thursday afternoon and remains in effect until 4pm local time on Friday, according to the NWS alert.
Officials warned that hot, stagnant weather will allow ozone levels to climb into the 'Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups' category.
Ground-level ozone, often referred to as smog, forms when sunlight reacts with pollutants emitted by vehicles, industrial facilities and other sources.
Residents were asked to reduce driving whenever possible in an effort to limit additional pollution.
The warning affects millions of residents living along the busy Interstate 25 corridor from the Denver metro area north toward Fort Collins.
Meanwhile, Southern California is facing two distinct air-quality threats.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District issued an alert for the Coachella Valley due to harmful levels of particle pollution generated by windblown dust.
The alert covers communities including Indio, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, La Quinta and Coachella and remains in effect until 11am local time on Saturday.
Officials warned that particle pollution can penetrate deep into the lungs and contribute to serious health issues, including asthma attacks, worsening heart and lung disease symptoms and an increased risk of respiratory infections.
Another air quality alert was issued for Boyle Heights and East Los Angeles because of elevated levels of fine particle pollution.
The warning remains active until Friday afternoon.
Fine particle pollution, known as PM2.5, consists of microscopic particles that are small enough to travel deep into the respiratory system and, in some cases, enter the bloodstream.
According to officials, exposure can increase the risk of heart attacks, bronchitis, asthma flare-ups and breathing difficulties.
While anyone can experience health impacts from poor air quality, officials said certain groups face significantly greater risks.
These include people with heart or lung disease, older adults, pregnant women, children and those who spend long periods outdoors.
Residents in affected areas are being advised to keep windows and doors closed, run air conditioning systems or air purifiers when possible and avoid activities that could further worsen indoor air quality.
Officials also recommend avoiding fireplaces, candles, incense, grilling and gasoline-powered lawn equipment during periods of poor air quality.
Air quality can change rapidly depending on weather conditions, wind patterns and local emissions, meaning pollution levels may vary considerably even within the same city.
Forecasters said residents should continue monitoring local air quality reports and limit outdoor exertion when pollution levels rise into unhealthy categories.

Canada’s War on Jesus – Pastor Artur Pawlowski
By Greg Hunter On June 20, 2026 In Political Analysis 47 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com (Saturday Night Post)
Canada’s legislative body has just passed the so-called “Bible Ban” (Bill C–9) “including an amendment that removes a longstanding religious‑exemption in hate‑speech law.” It basically makes things said in the Bible hate crimes that carry criminal penalties. LifesiteNews.com reports, “One Conservative MP, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom and an “assault” on faith.” Pastor Artur Pawlowski is no stranger to religious oppression in Canada. He went viral during Covid lockdowns when he called Canadian police Nazis, kicking them out of his church at an Easter service. It got millions of views, but YouTube took it down. Please tell me this “Bible Ban” law in Canada is not happening. Pastor Pawlowski says, “Yes, it is absolutely happening. It’s happening in front of our very eyes, but it did not start a few months ago. They have been trying to pass laws like this for decades. . .. I was arrested for reading the Bible in a public park. I had several charges and faced a year in prison for the crime of reading the Bible, and that was 2006. . .. I have become the most persecuted and prosecuted Canadian in the history of this country. I have more than 360 citations, more than 120 court cases and many, many arrests before Covid, during Covid and after Covid.”
Pastor Pawlowski has a special warning for America and says, “They have been working on this for a very long time. I want Americans to know that they just don’t show up one day and say, hey, I’m Aldolf Hitler. I’m Joseph Stalin. . .. They are working their plans. They are very patient and implementing little laws . . . it’s death by 1,000 bylaws. They are bringing these laws here. . .. If you say homosexuality is an abomination (as in the Bible), this can be deemed as hate, and you could spend 10 years in prison. . .. It’s not just aimed at homosexuality. . .. If you say prostitution is wrong, stealing is wrong or lying is wrong and you are targeting a group of people and they can say their feelings are hurt and they think you are ‘hating’ them for being thieves or gangsters or rapists or pedophiles. . .. The government can now come and arrest you if you publicly go against pedophilia. . .. You calling them pedophiles and wicked and evil is hurting them because it is hate. You can be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned.”
This new “Bible Ban” law is a direct attack on Jesus. The Bible, in the Old Testament and New Testament, is mostly about Jesus. The Bible says in Saint John 1:1, “In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God” (KJV). The Book of Revelation, at the end of the Bible, is all about the Second Coming of Christ Jesus. Banning the Bible is a war on Jesus. There is no other way to define it.
In closing, Pastor Pawlowski says Canada has gone rogue. . .. Canada has fallen. I am telling you they are not stopping. In the UK, tens of thousands of people are already in prison for Tweets and Facebook posts. . .. I grew up behind the Iron Curtain (in Poland), and if you have never faced tyranny like immigrants like me, you have no idea what we are talking about. You have never faced the horror, fear and terror of a totalitarian regime, but that is exactly what we are seeing. . .. Look what happened in Australia and New Zealand. They willingly gave up their guns and, boom–their freedoms are gone.”
There is much more in the 39-minute interview.

Putin's Advisor: Russia Considering Missile Strikes on Europe
Hal Turner World June 20, 2026 Hits: 16143
Currently, in Moscow, the determination is growing to proceed "much more harshly" against Ukraine and the European countries directly involved in the "aggression" against Russia. This was a statement of fact from Sergei Karaganov, a close advisor to the Russian president and prominent political scientist, in a televised media interview.
According to Karaganov, Russia's attack on Europe will take place within a year. Germany is at the top of the target list, where "revanchism" is returning, along with Poland and Romania, which are involved in arms deliveries to Ukraine.

As you can clearly see the evil in the world is almost fifty-fifty, my word has shown you that before, so that should not be a surprise. For I have said that two shall be standing in the field and one shall go and one shall remain, that is fifty-fifty, and it has got to that place, that also means that the end is very, very near. So you will still have half of the world that desires to do evil and half of the world that desires to do good, but only about thirty percent are true Christians. etc.

Rome March for Life draws thousands: 'Protecting life is... beautiful'
Icon of a globeInternational
·By Isabella ChildsRome March for Life draws thousands: 'Protecting life is... beautiful'
Thousands of pro-life Italians took the streets of Rome on June 13 for Italy’s annual “Scegliamo della Vita” (“Letʼs Choose Life”) March. The pro-lifers marched both for the preborn, who can be aborted up to 12 weeks under current Italian law, and for the elderly and disabled, who are threatened by the possibility of the broad legalization of assisted suicide in the country.
Key Takeaways:
Thousands of people participated in the 2026 annual March for Life in Rome, Italy.
Organizers wanted to show the beauty and joy in choosing life.
Abortion is currently legal in Italy through 12 weeks gestation.
The March began at the Piazza della Repubblica and included thousands of participants from all across Italy.
Maria Rachele Ruiu, a prominent Italian pro-life advocate who participated in the March, told EWTN News that the marchers aimed to demonstrate not just the right to life, but also the beauty and joy of the pro-life cause.
Never miss the latest news in the fight for life.
“We want to show that choosing and protecting life is not only right, important, and necessary but also beautiful,” Ruiu said.
Ruiu pointed out how the Italian press often mischaracterizes those who stand for the right to life for the preborn and the vulnerable; the March is an opportunity for the pro-lifers to share their joy.
“We want to parade through Rome to show our true face: happy people,” Ruiu said.
Zoom In:
Massimo Gandolfini, who served as spokesperson for the march, referenced in his speech Italy’s current abortion law and a potential expansion of legal assisted suicide.
“We see that this right [to life] today is deeply wounded and heavily attacked with abortion law, and with this rumored law on assisted suicide, to which we are totally opposed,” Gandolfini said.
Italy legalized abortion in 1978, and under current law, women are allowed to abort their babies up to 12 weeks for any reason; women are able to obtain abortions in the second trimester and beyond if medical professionals label their situation as urgent. The abortion pill is legal through nine weeks of pregnancy in Italy.
Italian law permits assisted suicide for patients determined to be suffering irreversible pathology with intolerable physical and psychological pain, in accordance with a 2019 Italian Constitutional Court ruling. Pro-life advocates are concerned by rumors of the law’s expansion.
“We want to demonstrate to keep attention high on a fundamental issue, which is the right to life. The right to life is the right that underpins every other right of a civil society and a democratic society,” Gandolfini said.
The Bottom Line:
Famed singer Andrea Bocelli sent a message to marchers, which was played at the rally. Bocelli’s mother was pressured by doctors to abort her son, but she chose life.
"Life, when welcomed and not feared, multiplies, and the civilizations that have prospered are those that have invested in new generations,” Bocelli said.

ANOTHER RARE GULF OF AMERICA EARTHQUAKE STRIKES NEAR CUBA
For only the third time in more than 150 years, another rare earthquake has occurred in the southern Gulf of America near Cuba.
The quake measured M4.9 at a depth of approximately 12 miles, occurring on June 15, 2026 at here earthquakes are rarely observed.
What makes this event even more unusual is that it follows other rare earthquakes in the same general area, adding to a growing list of uncommon seismic activity in the Gulf.
Could this be the start of a larger seismic trend in the region?

Anti-Christian Hate Crimes Are Surging Across Europe—And The Warning Signs Are Also Flashing In America
By
Decision Magazine June 17, 2026Anti-Christian hate crimes are surging across Europe—and the warning signs are flashing in America too.
The Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe) released its May 2026 monthly analysis report, documenting a troubling spike in hostility. A total of “37 anti-Christian hate crimes targeting Christian places of worship, religious symbols, religious spaces, Christian institutions and Christian individuals” were recorded, marking an overall increase.
The crimes included vandalism, desecration, physical violence, theft, incitement, vandalism paired with violence, disruption of worship, and arson-related attacks. “With 13 recorded arson-related incidents,” the report notes, “May represents the highest monthly figure recorded so far in 2026.” Though not exhaustive, the countries that bore the brunt of it included Germany, France, Italy, Ireland, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
OIDAC Europe details how “incidents affecting churches and Christian property whose anti-Christian bias could not be clearly established” were not included in the report, meaning the “statistical total” could be worse than presented. Over 27 additional thefts, 24 break-ins or attempted break-ins, 14 cases of vandalism, damage or graffiti, and nine fires are actively “under investigation or with unclear causes.”
In Greece alone, roughly 96% of “all recorded incidents” involved attacks related to religious sites in the country between 2024 and 2025, according to the May 2026 analysis.
“[A]nti-Christian hostility continues to extend beyond property damage,” OIDAC asserts. “[I]ncidents involving direct violence, intimidation, or serious danger to persons” are steadily becoming a “notable trend.”
For example, according to OIDAC Europe, “A Christian-run caf
é in Leipzig had to close after its operators reported 26 attacks over a period of two and a half years, including repeated vandalism, graffiti attacks, damage caused by butyric acid, and other forms of harassment.” These attacks were allegedly “carried out by individuals associated with the far-left extremist scene and ultimately made the continued operation of the café financially impossible.”The Barbara Chapel in Penzberg, Germany, was desecrated with “satanic graffiti.” A historic church bell tower was damaged in a shotgun attack in Greece, and Italy faced instances of graffiti that openly called for churches to be burned.
These aren’t abstract numbers, OIDAC Europe concludes, but vivid pictures of believers struggling to live out their faith without penalty. A café forced to shutter after relentless harassment. Worship disrupted by violence. These recorded cases reflect “a broader pattern repeatedly documented by OIDAC Europe in recent years, namely the pressure faced by Christian individuals and organisations that publicly uphold traditional Christian beliefs and values.”
And notably, this wave of hostility isn’t confined to Europe. Similar patterns are increasing sharply in the United States as well.
According to the Family Research Council’s (FRC) own tracking of incidents against churches, the organization identified 1,384 acts of hostility toward U.S. churches between January 2018 and December 2024. Like in OIDAC Europe’s report, these attacks include vandalism, arson, bomb threats and other destructive acts that seek to intimidate faith communities.
FRC’s reports show a clear upward trend in attacks on houses of worship, with annual updates documenting accelerating incidents in recent years. Just as in Europe, these acts often target the physical spaces where Christians gather, while broader cultural pressures mount against those who hold to Biblical convictions on life, marriage and truth.
Bible passages to ponder amid rising hostility:
Philippians 3:10
Matthew 16:18
John 16:33

For literally WEEKS, I warned readers of this website and listeners to my radio show that we here in the US would start hitting "tank bottom." Now, the "pipeline crossroads of the world" in Cushing, Oklahoma, HAVE hit tank bottom.
Any oil flowing into Cushing, is redirected to flow straight out. Storage tanks are at their operational bottom; NO RESERVES AVAILABLE.
So now we need to see, who is going to GET oil and who isn't? You've got to know the Military will get THEIRS first . . .
Once we start hearing who won't get more oil until "two weeks from next Friday" we will have an idea of which parts of the country will run out of Gasoline, Diesel, Propane, Aviation, and Bunker fuel(s). EXPECT TO SEE GAS RATIONING in Parts of this country, soon.
MORE ! ! ! !
U.S. President Donald Trump, attending the G7 Meeting in France, told the media just minutes ago "`We Run Out of Reserves in About Four Weeks' (if the Iran deal wasn't done.)
Here is video of him revealing that:
Now, here's the "rub:" If Israel screws-up the Iran deal, and attacks either Iran or Lebanon again, then Iran will shut the strait of Hormuz all over again - BEFORE WE GET THE OIL -- which will take 35 days to arrive at the West Coast, 45 Days to arrive at the Gulf Coast, and 55 days to arrive at the East Coast. That time does NOT count the number of days it takes to physically LOAD those massive tanker vessels.
So we are most definitely NOT "out of the woods" and we will be running-out of fuel in some areas of THIS country within weeks.
I earnestly hope you took my warnings seriously, and got yourselves several five-gallon gasoline storage cans - and FILLED THEM UP.
Right now, we have no way of seeing the internal oil distribution priorities that will have to be implemented, so there are, in fact, areas of THIS country that WILL run out of fuel for some period of time. YOU need reserve gasoline (or perhaps Diesel) to try to get yourself through that outage.
Oh, and for those of you who mocked my reporting, who called me "Chicken Little the sky is falling" or smeared me as "The Boy who cried Wolf", and those others who scorned my reporting as "click bait" or "Doom Porn" it turns out I was right, and you were wrong. Tank Bottom arrived today at the Primary commercial oil reserves for this nation.
So the real question is, will those smart-asses who doubted me, NOW go out and get prepared? Or will it just be too much for them to admit I was right, and they were wrong?

Canada’s Parliament officially passes ‘Bible ban’ Bill C-9
Canada’s House rejected a final attempt to stop Bill C-9, which threatens to criminalize quoting the Bible, including on homosexuality.

OTTAWA, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A final attempt to stop Bill C-9 was defeated, meaning that the bill, which threatens to criminalize quoting parts of the Bible, including on homosexuality, has officially passed Canada’s Parliament and will soon become law.
On Wednesday, June 17, a majority of MPs voted down an attempt by Conservative MP Andrew Lawton to stop Bill C-9 “once and for all.”
“The Liberals and Bloc Qu
ébécois voted down my motion to withdraw the divisive and toxic Bill C-9 to stand up for freedom of expression and freedom of religion,” wrote Lawton in an X post.Lawton thanked Green and NDP MPs for voting in opposition to Bill C-9, noting that “opposition to this bill has come from the political left and right, from civil liberties groups and a range of faith organizations.”
“With the adoption of the Senate’s amendment criminalizing the noose as a hate symbol, Bill C-9 will soon receive royal assent and become law.”
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Canadian senators voted recently to approve the Liberals’ Bill C-9 or “An Act to amend the Criminal Code (hate propaganda, hate crime, and access to religious or cultural places).”
However, because the last-minute amendment adding the noose was made, the bill had to go back to the House of Commons before it was sent to the Governor General for Royal Assent to become law.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Canadian senators last week voted down a recent proposed amendment to Bill C-9 that would have criminalized “residential school denialism.”
A ‘dark day’ for Christians
One Conservative MP, Brad Redekopp, called the official passage of Bill C-9 a “dark day” for Canada and religious freedom and an “assault” on faith.
“Today is a dark day in Canadian history,” wrote Redekopp in an X post.
“The House has passed Bill C-9—an assault on religious freedom that removes longstanding protections for Canadians expressing sincerely held beliefs. Conservatives fought this bill every step of the way—and we will keep fighting until religious freedom is restored.”
Canadian pro-life and faith groups, as well as a Catholic cardinal, sounded the alarm over the legislation. Indeed, in a recent letter to Canadian senators, Cardinal Frank Leo, the metropolitan archbishop of Toronto, said that while the Catholic Church recognizes “the importance of addressing hatred and protecting individuals and communities from violence,” changes are needed to the bill.
Constitutional experts have blasted the bill, saying that it will allow empowered police and the government to go after those deemed to have violated a person’s “feelings” in a “hateful” way. The bill was introduced by Justice Minister Sean Fraser last year.
Specifically, Bill C-9 would remove Section 319(3)(b) of Canada’s Criminal Code.
This section protects the good-faith expression of a person’s religious views based on religious texts such as the Holy Bible.
Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) previously blasted the passage of Bill C-9 in the Senate, saying that “God will not be mocked.”
“This is a dark day for religious freedom and free speech in Canada,” said Jeff Gunnarson, national president of CLC.

Spy agencies buying your data: The new surveillance state no one is talking about
06/17/2026 // Cassie B. // Views
The U.S. and European intelligence agencies are purchasing commercial personal data harvested from the advertising ecosystem.
This practice, called advertising-based intelligence or AdInt, allows agencies to access location, political views, and religious beliefs.
Oversight bodies lack authority to review or block government contracts with data brokers.
The same datasets bought by Western agencies are equally available to foreign adversaries.
Stronger regulation and oversight would reduce national security vulnerabilities created by AdInt.
The digital advertising industry that tracks your every move for profit has found a new customer: your own government.
A report published Tuesday by Interface, a European tech policy think tank, reveals that U.S. and European intelligence agencies are spending millions of taxpayer dollars to purchase commercially available personal data harvested from the advertising ecosystem. This practice, known as advertising-based intelligence or AdInt, represents one of the most significant and largely unregulated shifts in modern surveillance.
What they're buying
The report gathered evidence from 11 intelligence oversight bodies across democratic nations. "Via commercial vendors, national security agencies typically purchase access to a constantly updated stream of bulk data. That data contains information on mobile devices' unique IDs, their precise location over time, as well as granular profile data of individual app users linked to these devices," said Thorsten Wetzling, one of the study's authors.
Among the sensitive details these datasets can expose are a person's whereabouts, age, gender, political views, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, and who they communicate with.
This information originates from online ad auctions, software embedded in apps, social media platforms, and internet-connected devices. Data brokers aggregate and sell it to anyone willing to pay, including intelligence agencies that acquire it through a range of procurement channels, sometimes using front companies to conceal their identity.
Agencies caught in the act
In the United States, the FBI has previously acknowledged purchasing location data derived from online advertising, although bureau director Christopher Wray testified in 2023 that the practice had since been replaced by a court-authorized process. U.S. Customs and Border Protection ran a pilot program from 2019 to 2021 that acquired location information from mobile app software and digital advertising systems. An internal Department of Homeland Security report found that some agencies had violated federal law through purchases of commercial location data.
In Europe, Austria's Interior Ministry procured the surveillance tool Tangles, which includes a plug-in capable of analyzing ad-derived location data. France's foreign intelligence service asked lawmakers in 2021 to create a legal basis for purchasing internet browsing records from private companies — a request that has yet to be granted.
Oversight bodies powerless to stop it
The findings are deeply concerning for anyone who values privacy. Researchers surveyed oversight practitioners and found that several lack the authority to review, reshape, or block government contracts with data brokers. Nearly all delegations surveyed said they are not notified when new contracts are signed, and not one has the binding authority to delay or prevent such contracts from being concluded.
"These practices are gaining momentum, not just in the United States where this has been reported more widely, but also across Europe," Wetzling said. The report notes that existing laws have failed to keep pace with the advertising data industry, leaving a regulatory vacuum that intelligence agencies have been quietly exploiting.
The accountability gap
Investigative reporting has shown how easily 3.6 billion location data points — covering millions of individuals, including military personnel, intelligence staff, and senior government officials — can be purchased on the open market. The practice creates national security risks too: close cooperation with private firms and reliance on vast datasets may expose agencies and personnel to exploitation by hostile actors.
Most oversight bodies said they are legally barred from publicly disclosing the extent to which their intelligence communities are buying commercial data. And while auditing data-sharing arrangements technically falls within most oversight mandates, not a single delegation reported having actually conducted such an audit where commercially sourced data was involved.
Will anyone stop them?
The report makes it clear that stronger regulation and effective oversight do not have to come at the expense of national security. In fact, the authors argue the opposite. Left unchecked, AdInt creates serious vulnerabilities: the same datasets purchased by Western agencies are equally available to foreign adversaries, who are already using them.
This is not just a European problem or an American problem. This is a human rights problem. Your data, collected without meaningful consent, is being weaponized by governments that have no business knowing where you sleep, who you love, or what you believe. The only way to stop it is to demand our elected officials close these legal loopholes before every private thought becomes a government data point.

These Are The States Starting To Panic About AI Taking Over
by Tyler Durden
Authored...
Residents of Washington state are more concerned about artificial intelligence replacing jobs than workers anywhere else in the United States, according to a new report released in June 2026. The study, conducted by IP address provider Floxy, comes amid growing concerns about workplace automation after more than 54,000 American jobs were reportedly lost to AI-related workforce reductions last year.
To determine where Americans are most worried about automation, researchers analyzed all 50 states using several indicators. The study measured AI adoption rates among working-age residents, assessed how vulnerable local industries are to automation, and tracked search activity for terms such as "will AI replace my job," "AI taking jobs," and "AI layoffs." Researchers also factored in cybercrime rates, identity theft statistics, and the strength of state-level data protection laws.
Each state received an AI Panic Index score ranging from 1 to 99, with higher scores indicating greater levels of concern about AI-driven job displacement.
With an AI Panic Score of 99, Washington tops the rankings. Approximately 4,087 AI-related job displacement searches are conducted per 100,000 residents, the highest rate in the country. Researchers suggest this concern may be linked to the state's close ties to the technology sector, as both Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered there and have recently announced significant workforce reductions tied to AI initiatives. At the same time, nearly one-third of Washington's workforce already uses AI tools, giving many employees firsthand exposure to the technology's growing capabilities.
Wyoming ranks second, with more than 20,000 residents regularly searching for information about protecting their jobs from AI. Although the state lacks the large technology sector found in Washington, around one-quarter of working adults already use AI tools such as ChatGPT, potentially increasing awareness of how automation could affect future employment opportunities.
Nevada places third on the list. The state combines relatively high AI adoption with one of the nation's highest cybercrime rates, creating heightened awareness of technology-related risks. Approximately one in three Nevada workers already use AI tools, and around 55,000 residents search monthly for information about whether AI could replace their jobs.
Massachusetts ranks fourth, with roughly 160,000 residents searching each month for information related to AI-driven job losses. The state's thriving technology and biotechnology industries are advancing rapidly alongside AI innovation, contributing to concerns about automation. With about one-third of adults already using AI tools regularly, many workers are becoming increasingly aware of the technology's potential impact on their roles.
Maryland ranks fifth and records the highest AI adoption rate in the country, with 36.3% of working-age residents already using AI in the workplace. Despite widespread adoption, concerns remain high, particularly given the state's large concentration of technology and knowledge-based jobs that could be vulnerable to automation in the years ahead.
Commenting on the findings, Floxy Chief Technology Officer Aimen Hallou said concerns about AI-related job displacement are well-founded: "These concerns are not overblown. AI was directly linked to tens of thousands of job cuts in the US last year, and that's only counting companies that openly admitted it. Amazon eliminated 14,000 corporate roles, citing AI; Microsoft cut 15,000, and both were explicit about why. The broader reality is that MIT researchers estimated AI can already perform the tasks of roughly 1 in 8 American workers. That number is only going to grow as the tools get cheaper and more capable."

Trump declares Iran deal finalized, orders US naval blockade lifted
US President Donald Trump said Washington and Tehran had reached an agreement that includes an Iranian commitment not to obtain nuclear weapons and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. He later announced that the agreement had been finalized and ordered the US naval blockade lifted.

Last modified: 06-15-2026 01:02Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced in a post on X that "following intensive talks, we are pleased to announce that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED." He added that "both sides have declared the immediate and permanent termination of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon." According to Sharif, "the official signing ceremony will be on Friday, 19 June in Switzerland."
US President Donald Trump joined the announcement in a post on his social media platform Truth Social, in which he ordered the Strait of Hormuz opened and the US naval blockade lifted. "The Deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran is now complete. Congratulations to all! I hereby fully authorize the toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz, and, simultaneously herewith, authorize the immediate removal of the United States Naval blockade. Ships of the World, start your engines. Let the oil flow!"
The announcements came minutes after US President Donald Trump told The Wall Street Journal that he intended to soon issue an official statement confirming that the US and Iran had reached an agreement. He said the agreement was expected to be signed electronically by him or by Vice President JD Vance.
Trump also addressed the issue of enriched uranium, making clear that, as far as he was concerned, there was no urgency to remove it from Iranian territory. "We'll get the nuclear material later, when we're ready to go in and do it. I'd say over the next month or two, there's no rush," he said, describing the material as "harmless."
At the same time, the US president criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Israeli strike in Beirut, which he said nearly derailed the diplomatic talks. "Bibi shouldn't have done that. I really didn't like it," Trump said. However, he stressed that, as he understood it, Netanyahu supported the emerging agreement. "Bibi is okay with it. Why is it good for him? Iran cannot have nuclear weapons under any circumstances," he added.

Updated: Jun 13, 2026 / 11:55 AM EDTMoneta church tent collapses in storm, caused multiple injuries and a death
BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WFXR)- A person died and several others were injured when an outside tent at East Lake Community Church failed after a storm.
Bedford County officials say around 6:45 p.m. Friday, June 12, 2026, a large tent collapsed during an outdoor service at East Lake Community Church.
Eleven individuals were transported to local hospitals by ambulance, while eleven others were treated at the scene for minor injuries. One person died at the scene of the collapse.
Prior to the collapse, a severe storm cell moved through the area, bringing heavy rain, lightning, and strong winds. The weather conditions caused the tent structure to fail.
The tent had passed an inspection conducted by the Bedford County Division of Building Inspections on Tuesday, June 9, 2026.
Bedford 911 Emergency Communications received the initial report and classified the incident as a mass casualty event. First responders from Moneta Volunteer Fire Department were on scene for the event and were able to immediately begin rescue efforts. Emergency personnel and resources from neighboring localities responded to assist at the scene.
“We would appreciate your prayers and your patience as we navigate this situation,” the church wrote on social media.
