His central thesis is clear: the war in Syria was not an organic revolution but a deliberate effort by Washington, Israel, and their regional partners to weaken Iran by toppling Assad’s government.

New Study: California’s $20 Minimum Wage Killed 18,000 Restaurant Jobs
research confirm again and again that an increase in the minimum wage is terrible for the poor. For at least some — perhaps 18,000 in California — it takes away their opportunity to make any money at all. Unfortunately, politicians have an incentive to ignore economic laws in favor of nice-sounding slogans about improving the lives of the least advantaged.
Trump Explains Why He Kicked Jeffrey Epstein Out of Mar-a-Lago; Turned Down Invitation to Pedo Island
“He stole people who worked for me,” the president continued. “I said don’t ever do that again. He did it again and I threw him out of the place, persona non grata. I threw him out, and that was it,” Trump said. “I’m glad I did if you want to know the truth.” And by the way, I never went to the island, and Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times. I never went to the island but Larry Summers I hear went there—he was the head of Harvard.”
Netanyahu Now Plans To Annex Gaza, Bowing To Extremist Members Of Coalition
Under the scheme, Israel will give Gaza political and militant group Hamas a short deadline for accepting a ceasefire. After Hamas refuses to accept Netanyahu's terms (which will likely be written to guarantee refusal) Israel will start annexing portions of Gaza, starting with the buffer zone it has created along the perimeter of the territory, before proceeding to claim more land in the north. Eventually, all of Gaza will be claimed as Israeli land, fulfilling the wishes of extremist ministers who are vital to Netanyahu's ruling coalition.

Last week, Cincinnati, OH made the national news after video footage went viral of crowds exiting a "black culture" jazz music festival.

One victim was an older man who was stomped and punched repeatedly into the road by multiple assailants. Another victim was a woman who was beaten unconscious.
Russia Calls Off Annual Navy Day Celebrations Amid Ukrainian Drone Attacks
Some one hundred Ukrainian drones were intercepted by Russian air defenses overnight, which does not suggest a particularly huge attack compared to prior major drone assaults from the last several weeks - but the attack did serve to severely impact annual Russian military observances.

Trump EPA To Remove "Greenhouse Gases" From List Of Dangerous Pollutants
The EPA has crafted a proposal that would undo the government's "endangerment finding", a determination that pollutants from burning fossil fuels, such as carbon dioxide and methane, can be regulated under the Clean Air Act.

The EPA's proposal to revoke the finding is currently under review by the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Survey Reveals "Seismic Shift" As More Parents Reject Vaccine Schedule

AI Chatbots Rely on Sources With Clear Biases
Over the weekend, I saw this bias unfold in real time. On Friday, a user on Elon Musk’s platform X asked Grok whether more guns make Americans safer. Grok responded flatly: “No, evidence shows more guns correlate with higher firearm homicides and violent crime rates.” The chatbot dismissed self-defense and deterrence, referring to my research –specifically my “more guns, less crime” theory – as something cited by “right-wing advocates.” Grok supported its claims by referencing Scientific American magazine and a RAND Corporation review, saying these sources show guns don’t reduce crime and instead increase violence. Those answers are misleading and wrong.

Ukraine, Russia and the Future of War
Just last week, reports began to emerge that Russia has unveiled a "new tactic" in their war against Ukraine: swarms of drones "flying at different altitudes, and attacking from all directions" in order to confuse Ukrainian forces and bypass their air defences. A recent air assault on Kyiv was cited as an example. Russia set 400 drones on the Ukrainian capital from every direction to confuse and preoccupy Ukraine's air defence, thus enabling 20 of its ballistic and cruise missiles to slip through.
Study Claiming No Link Between Aluminum in Vaccines and Autism Riddled with Flaws, Critics Say
But that’s not what the Danish scientists did. Instead, they compared children who received vaccines containing aluminum to children who received vaccines with slightly less aluminum. Not only that, but there was only a one-milligram difference between the amount of aluminum in the vaccine doses received by the children in one of the groups compared to those in another group. Comparing children with similar aluminum levels rather than comparing children with low levels of aluminum to children with high levels of the metal further muddled the findings...

Trump the Inflationist: He Wants More Easy Money from the Fed
At this point it’s clear that any hopes that Trump was going to be a hard-money guy who would rein in monetary inflation was pure wishful thinking. Trump’s preferred monetary policy is demonstrably no different from that of Biden, Obama, or George W. Bush. The “solution” for these politicians is always more easy money, in the form of lower interest rates.
