Earlier today the New York Post (Murdoch Inc.) was reporting a cabinet meeting was scheduled to take place tomorrow at Camp David, in Maryland. The unusual location for this meeting stemmed from information the Post obtained via an anonymous “White House official.” For some reason, every media report felt it was important to emphasize that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard would be in attendance at the cabinet meeting. Gabbard’s departure is openly well known and not expected until June 30th, but for some reason the DC media stenographers were quite interested in whether DNI Gabbard would be in attendance.…
AI-Generated by Grok – Russia’s Lavrov and US Rubio against the background of Kiev on fire The US deserved a personal alert from the Russians. After the Ukrainian attack targeting a college dorm that killed 21 students, mostly young women, the Russians vowed ‘strategic’ attacks against decision-making centers in the capital, Kiev. After Saturday (23), when Mosco unleashed 90 missiles and 600 drones against Kiev, we learned that the attack was just the beginning. After the Foreign Ministry made a general warning for diplomatic missions to leave the city, and for citizens to avoid Military, Industrial, and Government Sites, we…
Ken Paxton scored a major victory Tuesday night, defeating longtime Sen. John Cornyn in a bitter Republican runoff that became one of the most expensive Senate primaries in history. According to Fox News, the result marked another major win for President Donald Trump, who endorsed Paxton just days before the runoff and aggressively targeted Cornyn as “VERY disloyal.” Paxton will now face Democratic state Rep. James Talarico in November in a closely watched race that could impact Republicans’ narrow Senate majority. Cornyn conceded after the race was called and pledged to support the GOP ticket in the general election. “I’ve…

Earlier, I posted a positive article about Pope Leo’s encyclical. I agreed with him that AI could pose a threat to human civilization itself. That was before I discovered that an Anthropic cofounder was at Pope Leo’s presentation of the encyclical. Pope Leo XIV launched his AI encyclical with Anthropic. Anthropic is notorious. Its CEO and cofounder Dario Amodei and cofounder Christopher Olah want to mandate that everyone follow their AI constitution. It would probably usurp the U.S. Constitution. President Trump unceremoniously canceled Anthropic AI in all agencies. It was a good call. Anthropic refused to allow the Pentagon to use…

The Trump administration has issued a “no dust, no dollars” ultimatum demanding Iran surrender its enriched uranium before any sanctions relief. A framework agreement is roughly 95% complete but could take up to a week to finalize, with Trump warning against mistakes. Iran must ship its enriched uranium to the U.S. or destroy it in place under international supervision to receive economic relief. The administration aims to avoid Obama-era mistakes by banning enrichment for decades and providing no upfront cash payments. Iranian leaders face domestic political pressure as Supreme Leader Khamenei reportedly approved the template but state media denies nuclear…
The prescription cascade: How America’s mental health system keeps patients on more drugs, not fewer A teen prescribed 14 psychiatric drugs by age 18 describes a prescription cascade that worsened her condition. Federal officials are now launching a plan to curb overprescribing, especially in children. Medicaid data shows children on ADHD drugs are far more likely to be prescribed additional psychiatric medications. Critics argue pills cannot teach emotional regulation or replace behavioral therapy. Former patients report no medical road map for safely discontinuing psychiatric medications. The psychiatric medication machine is churning faster than ever, and a growing chorus of voices…
Brain Rescue: The underground manual for healing your fractured mind in a toxic world The author’s journey reveals that conventional medicine, controlled by Big Pharma, is a “soul-crushing machinery” that relies on failed surgeries and toxic pharmaceuticals (like Keppra and Depakote) rather than addressing root causes, proving it is a leading cause of death and suffering. The book exposes addiction as a neurological crisis stemming from traumatic brain injuries and the hijacking of dopamine systems, naming Big Tech and processed food industries as culprits in a globalist agenda to sicken and dumb down the population. The author reveals how simple,…
President Trump reversed a Pentagon cancellation by ordering an additional 5,000 troops to Poland, citing the election victory of Poland’s conservative President Karol Nawrocki, a move that broke from standard strategic assessments. The announcement comes as Poland faces escalating Russian aggression, including drone incursions into NATO airspace and the arrest of three suspected spies working for Moscow. Critics argue the deployment is largely symbolic, as defending Poland’s strategic Suwalki Gap would require around 200,000 troops, far more than the 15,000 total U.S. forces now planned. The text opposes U.S. sanctions as a deterrent, stating they “rarely change behavior” and instead…
Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a two-day summit in Beijing on May 20, 2026, signing roughly 40 cooperation documents and adopting a joint declaration on a multipolar world order, according to state media reports [1].

Tennessee is the first state to enforce proof of citizenship for public benefits, disenrolling illegal immigrants from subsidized healthcare programs by May 29, to ensure taxpayer resources serve lawful residents. Progressives previously claimed illegal immigrants did not access government healthcare, but now oppose verification measures, revealing they knew non-citizens were enrolled and fought to keep the system opaque. The healthcare verification push connects to the SAVE Act, which would require citizenship proof for voter registration. Democrats block it despite 80% public support, suggesting they protect a system enabling non-citizen voting and benefits access. States including North Carolina, Indiana and Oklahoma…
Almonds Recommended as Bedtime Snack Almonds have been cited as a potential bedtime snack for individuals seeking longer, deeper sleep, according to multiple sources on sleep and nutrition. A report noted that one ounce of almonds — approximately 23 nuts — contains a combination of protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, and magnesium, making them a nutrient-dense option for a small snack before bed. Sources indicate that almonds and walnuts contain tryptophan, magnesium, and melatonin, a combination beneficial for sleep [1]. Additionally, a teaspoon of almond or cashew butter has been suggested as a helpful pre-bedtime snack to stabilize blood sugar…
Fermented foods like kimchi and kefir supply probiotics that combat gut dysbiosis (microbiome imbalance), restoring healthy gut flora which is essential for preventing inflammation and disease. The beneficial bacteria in these traditional foods improve mucosal immune function and prevent harmful pathogens from entering the bloodstream, strengthening the body’s defenses without reliance on toxic pharmaceuticals. The active probiotic benefits are destroyed by pasteurization; only fresh, unpasteurized varieties (like raw sauerkraut or live kombucha) provide the living cultures needed for digestive and immune health. These ancient dietary interventions offer a sovereign, decentralized approach to preventing illness (like IBS or chronic disease), undermining…

A judge in Florida blocked an effort Tuesday to temporarily halt the use of a new Republican-favored House map, just hours after a federal judge blocked a similar effort in Tennessee.Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the Florida map into law earlier this month after the Supreme Court ruled in a Louisiana redistricting case that race-based districts violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Florida Circuit Court Judge Joshua Hawkes denied a request from several groups to pause the use of the new map designed to net Republicans several more seats in the state in November, ruling they failed to sufficiently prove the…

Where’s the beef? Not in Texas — at least, not as much as it used to be.Texas barbecue joints are shutting their doors across the Lone Star State as sky-high beef prices turn brisket — once the centerpiece of a blue-collar meal — into a luxury item that many customers can no longer afford.

https://www.eenews.net/articles/climate-change-alarms-are-flashing-washington-isnt-paying-attention/ By Zack Colman Key excerpt: The shift in Washington has been driven by President Donald Trump, who has for years dismissed climate change as a hoax, and even sought as recently as last weekend to discredit the IPCC as “WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!” in a social media post. That message was a response to last week’s announcement by the IPCC that it will not consider the worst-case emissions pathway known as Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5, or RCP8.5, in its next synthesis of climate science because it no longer appears plausible. But that high-emissions scenario was always viewed as an unlikely…

Non-whites are set to become the majority for the first time in the US by 2050, a situation mirrored in up to 16 states — including New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, according to new census data.The expected transformation reflects astonishing demographic changes projected to sweep across America by between 2040 and 2050, fueled by international and internal migration, as well as falling birthrates, the US Census Bureau figures show.
