MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL CONTINUES DESPITE BIDEN CLAIM
Joe Biden appears to be trying to play both sides. On one hand he is pretending to pacify the crowds of pro-Palestinian protestors that are demanding the US cut off military aid to Israel to force another ceasefire with Hamas. In response to the high number of civilian casualties in Southern Gaza, the Biden administration claimed it will withhold some arms shipments to Israel. Ostensibly this was meant to force Israel to back off of its announced full onslaught of Rafah—the last stronghold of Hamas on the border with Egypt. On the other hand, we learn that only part of the military aid on hold is a shipment of the largest bombs: 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs. All other military assistance to Israel including the $15 billion in recently approved aid is expected to go forward. Intelligence sources in the Middle East confirm that military aid isn’t really being cut off. Meanwhile, Netanyahu is under fire by two of his cabinet members over his refusal to allow the Palestinian Authority to come back in and govern Gaza in the aftermath of the war (if it ever ends). Hardliners want Gaza to remain in the control of Israel via military occupation, and “softliners” want the Palestinian Authority to run Gaza again.

A Pfizer whistleblower has just leaked an internal email to the public to show that the pharmaceutical company provided employees with Covid shots that were “separate and distinct” from the injections that were rolled out for the general population.
The email suggests that high-level Pfizer employees were offered Covid shots from a batch that was reserved for a chosen few.
These doses were somehow different from the injections given to the general public.
Cohen was grilled by Trump attorney Todd Blanche about a pivotal phone call that connected Trump to allegations that he approved reimbursements to pay porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. In one exchange, Blanche accused Cohen of lying about speaking with Trump on the phone in October 2016 to reassure his boss that he was handling the payment to Daniels.
Blanche then confronted Cohen with text messages that contradicted the lie - revealing that Cohen in fact spoke with Trump's bodyguard, Keith Schiller.
In her book Silent Invasion, Dr. Deborah Birx, the former White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, admits how much of a lie the entire affair was. Birx knew when they asked for 15 days to stop the spread that it wasn’t the truth and it was only “a start.” She also asked for an extension without an ounce of science to support her request.
They conned Donald Trump. They were doctors and scientists. He wasn’t, and they let him know it, so he listened to them. Of course, it got much worse under Biden, who acted like a king.
‘They are doing this intentionally to keep him here and keep him off the campaign trail, and I think everybody in the country can see that for what it is.’

In 2014, a class action lawsuit against Whole Foods surfaced, alleging deceptive labeling, specifically for the “all-natural” brands. Many of them actually contained chemical preservatives, artificial coloring, artificial flavorings, and other artificial ingredients.
One of the products mentioned was the company’s own 365 Everyday Value brand cola, which sported the “all-natural” label despite containing a laundry list of artificial ingredients.
Slovakia’s populist prime minister Robert Fico has been shot, according to breaking news reports, after which he was rushed to the hospital and appears to be alive according to early reports. But some reports have listed his condition as "very serious" and that he had to be airlifted.
According to emerging details in The Associated Press, Fico "was injured in a shooting and taken to hospital. The incident took place in the town of Handlova, some 150 kilometers northeast of the capital, according to the news television station TA3."
Russia has been using an “artillery bubble” as a tool to protect ground forces as they push an advance. Meaning, troops will only attack as far as the artillery can reach. Artillery is vital to a large scale offensive. Coincidentally, Russia doubled its importation of explosive materials commonly used for artillery in the past several months. They are now reportedly producing triple the amount of artillery that NATO is providing to Ukraine.
Mainstream analysts claim the push towards Kharkiv move might be a feint, allowing Russia to increase the size of its buffer zone. They continue to assert that Russia doesn’t have the forces necessary for a major offensive. I would say it depends on how weak Ukraine’s defensive lines actually are. Russia has been consistently using large scale Pincer movements to envelop defensive positions and destroy them.
In the past two weeks alone Russia has gained considerable ground. Russian troops recently made confirmed advances northwest of Svatove (Luhansk Oblast), near Avdiivka (Donetsk Oblast), in Robotyne (Zaporizhzhya Oblast), and in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast, U.S.-based think tank Institute for the Study of War reported on May 6th. The reason for this is relatively simple – Ukraine lacks the manpower to effectively establish defense in-depth. All the reports coming from the front support this theory.
Following several weeks of stepped-up Russian aerial attacks which have pummeled Ukraine's energy and electrical grid, state power operator Ukrenergo on Tuesday announced that rolling emergency blackouts have gone into effect across the country.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has for the first time explained the rationale behind this week's major cabinet reshuffling, which for the first time of the Ukraine operation saw Sergey Shoigu removed as defense minister (and 'promoted' to head of the national security council), and former minister for economic development Andrey Belousov moved into the defense chief spot. He described the decision as due to the dramatic rise in the defense budget and military spending.
"The first line of fortifications and mines simply did not exist."
Describing what happened when Russian ground troops, backed by airstrikes and artillery, simply walked through the border area on Friday, he wrote: "The enemy freely entered the grey zone along the entire cordon line, which in principle should not have been grey!
"In two years, there should have been concrete fortifications... on the Ukrainian border!"
This confirms a prior Associated Press observation which stated that "Ukraine’s lack of adequate defensive lines has helped Russia make significant military gains, and constant enemy fire hinders building."
Trump attorney asked about roughly three pages worth of records that the attorney claimed Mr. Bragg’s office had deleted. The fact that prosecutors submitted the call records into evidence but didn’t tell the Trump defense team that some of them had been deleted raises questions about the integrity of the proceedings, according to Trump attorneys, and others.
“Insanity! How on earth is this not a felony committed by Bragg and his minions? It sure would be if team Trump did it,” the former president’s eldest son, Don Trump Jr., said in a post on X.
Mr. Trump Jr. was presumably referring to the fact that evidence tampering is a class E felony in the state of New York.

I'm actually rather surprised that our esteemed opposition, Congressman Pelosi, is on that side of the motion. I thought the left was supposed to be anti-elite. I thought the left was supposed to be anti-establishment today, particularly in America, the globalist left have become the establishment. I suppose for Miss Pelosi to have taken this side of the motion, she'd be arguing herself out of a job.
Following several more cross-border attacks from Ukraine, including direct drone hits on Russian oil facilities over the past 48 hours, Russian forces have launched a surprise ground offensive which seeks to break through front lines in the northeastern Kharkiv border region on Friday.
"Russia launched a new wave of counteroffensive actions... Ukraine met them there with our troops, brigades, and artillery," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed of the new action in a briefing. "Now there is a fierce battle underway."
The Israeli war cabinet voted unanimously on Monday to continue the attack on Hamas’s last stronghold in Rafah — while also sending diplomats to Cairo, Egypt in an effort to explore whether Hamas is really interested in ceasefire.

First reported in 2022, the 'Secure Docket Card' pilot program is expected to begin this summer with around 10,000 cards in a limited rollout at three or four locations in the US. The agency claims that the program is "pre-decisional" and subject to change. According to the report, Houston and Atlanta are two potential locations.
Officials claim that the program will "modernize documentation provided to some noncitizens" but it will not be an official form of federal ID.
