The whole waiting two weeks was such an obvious ruse

I think an important thing to recognize is that Trump makes these highly unpopular decisions on the start of a weekend because the stock market is closed. He did the same thing with some of the tariff announcements.

Al Jazeera live feed is good. I also like the Drop Site News twitter account. It's run by Ryan Grim and Jeremy Scahill.

Two videos of US doctors in Gaza giving statements about treating the Palestinian victims of the aid site massacres. "Every time there’s a so-called food distribution, we know there’s going to be annihilation"

"I don’t see any evidence of warriors. I see malnourished fathers and daughters. I see pregnant women with their babies ripped from their womb by shrapnel. I see small children, comfortable in their red sweater, having it ripped off and their arms completely annihilated."

Joss voiced John Redcorn from Season 2 through Season 13 of “King of the Hill” and already recorded lines for the upcoming revival of the popular animated series. He’ll be seen in Episode 2 of the show’s upcoming Season 14, and possibly more episodes beyond that.

In a statement on Joss’ Facebook page, his husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales said that Joss was “murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other.”

UPDATE Joss's husband made a statement on facebook after I created this post. Added context.

MILLER: I think it is, without a doubt, true that Israel has committed war crimes.

INTERVIEWER: You wouldn't have said that at the podium?

MILLER: Yeah, look, because I when you're at the podium, you're not expressing your personal opinion. You're expressing the conclusions of the United States government. The United States government has had not concluded that they've committed war crimes, still have not concluded that.

INTERVIEWER: But your personal view is they have?

MILLER: Well so ...

INTERVIEWER: And they were while you were there?

MILLER: But but but ... Yes but here let me let me qualify that. There are two ways to think about the commission of war crimes. One is if the state has pursued a policy to deliberately committing war crimes or is acting reckless in a way that aids and abets war crimes. That I think is an open question.

I think, what is hard, is almost certainly not an open question, is that there have been individual incidents that have been that have been war crimes, where members of the Israeli military have committed war crimes.

In almost every major conflict, including conflicts prosecuted by democracies, you will see individual members of the military commit war crimes. The way you judge a democracy is whether they hold those people accountable.

INTERVIEWER: but Israel hasn't been that.

MILLER: That's my point is we have not yet seen them hold sufficient numbers of the military accountable. I think it's an open question whether they're going to.

INTERVIEWER: I'm really struck that you think now that Israel did commit war crimes and yet at the time, and I get why, but at the time you were at the podium and you couldn't say that, i mean personally that must be very difficult

MILLER: Welllll ... So the state department itself had concluded, they didn't phrase it in these terms, but I think I did at the the podium, a few times, had concluded that it was likely that Israel had committed war crimes, but I do think it's almost certain that that they have.

Multiple people at Boulder's Pearl Street Mall in Colorado were burned when they were attacked by a man during a march for Israeli hostages Sunday, according to police.

Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that the suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.

Run For Their Lives, which organized the walk, said, "This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release."

"So we stood up, lined up in front of the old Boulder courthouse, and I was actually on the far west side. And there was somebody there that I didn't even notice, although he was making a lot of noise, but I'm just focused on my job of being quiet and getting lined up. And, from my point of view, all of a sudden, I felt the heat. It was a Molotov cocktail equivalent, a gas bomb in a glass jar, thrown. Av [another marcher] saw it, a big flame as high as a tree, and all I saw was someone on fire," said Victor.

Video of the scene shows what appears to be a burn scar in front of the old courthouse and a person being taken away on a stretcher. Photos from a viewer show a shirtless man at the scene being detained by police.


FBI Director Kash Patel, in a statement, described the incident as a targeted terror attack and said agents were on the scene.

Redfearn, however, said it was too early to speculate about a motive. “We are not calling it a terror attack at this moment,” he said.

Memorandum Issued by Institute for American Studies of DPRK Foreign Ministry

Pyongyang, May 27 (KCNA) -- The Institute for American Studies of the DPRK Foreign Ministry Monday released a memorandum to inform the international community that the U.S. establishment of a new missile defense system is a very dangerous "threatening initiative" aimed at threatening the strategic security of the nuclear weapons states regarded by the U.S. with hostility and facilitating the use of the offensive military muscle of the U.S. forces.

According to the memorandum, the U.S. plan for the "Golden Dome" missile defense system setting it as a goal to closely defend the Continent of North America from the ballistic missile, cruise missile and supersonic missile attack by its strategic enemy states is a typical product of "America first", the height of self-righteousness, arrogance, high-handed and arbitrary practice, and is an outer space nuclear war scenario supporting the U.S. strategy for uni-polar domination with the preemptive establishment of the outer space-based military substructure, not a "defensive measure" to cope with the "threat" from someone.

The memorandum disclosed the U.S. offensive weapon system aimed at the preemptive strike at sovereign states.

The U.S., which defined outer space as a battlefield in future in its early years, has been hell-bent on the moves to militarize outer space, claiming that those who dominate outer space can win victory in the future war.

The plan for "Golden Dome" being advocated by the present U.S. administration is also the expression of another attempt to militarize outer space coming from the past strategies for dominating outer space and the epitome revealing the criminal past of the U.S. which plunged the whole world into the nightmare of the outbreak of a nuclear war.

Down through history, the U.S. has justified its moves for space militarization, claiming that the perfect interception of nuclear missiles by its enemy states flying toward its mainland can be realized only by the introduction of the space-based interception system. Under the pretext of defending its mainland, it has been hell-bent on building a missile defense system targeting the independent sovereign states including the DPRK.

Clear is the reason why the U.S. is scheming to freeze the so-called "threat" from sovereign states as a pretext for modernizing its missile defense system, persistently spinning out the time-worn sophism just like a guilty party filing the suit first.

It is to preemptively attain military superiority in an all-round way by justifying its hegemony-oriented moves for space arms buildup and accelerating outer space militarization behind the screen of "mainland defence" and to launch the military strike at its enemy states at its will by relying on it. This is the military strategic goal pursued by the U.S. and the main goal of the "Golden Dome" project being prioritized by the present U.S. administration.

The memorandum pointed out the malignant factor that has heated the strategic arms race worldwide and accelerated the potential danger of outer space war.

The U.S. plan for building a new missile defense system is the root cause of sparking off global nuclear and space arms race by stimulating the security concerns of nuclear weapons states and turning the outer space into a potential nuclear war field.

Shortly ago, a U.S. space company announced that the U.S. Space Force is planning the design of a kind of orbit transporter called "space aircraft carrier" and will invest 60 million U.S. dollars in it.

The reality in which the global concern about the fact that the advent of the "space aircraft carrier" will be a catalyst for aggravating military confrontation in outer space is growing is a typical example proving a catastrophic consequence to be entailed by the U.S. moves to militarize outer space.

Another example of the U.S. moves to militarize outer space is the development of the "X-37B" unmanned spacecraft being accelerated by the U.S. Space Force.

It is not fortuitous that many space experts appreciate that the threat posed by the "X-37B" to the world is no less than nuke as the advent of the "X-37B" is an unpleasant factor reminiscent of the realistic possibility of space warfare that has been considered by mankind as imagination.

The memorandum disclosed the U.S. military hazardous attempt of betting the security of its satellites.

Since 2016, the U.S. has staged all sorts of missile interception drills including missile warning drill, combined ballistic missile defense drill and naval missile defense drill by mobilizing Aegis destroyers and latest drones together with Japan and the ROK.

The U.S. set up a space force unit in the ROK in December 2022. It inaugurated the U.S. space force in Japan at the Yokoda U.S. Air Force Base in December 2024, and formally operated the real-time tripartite missile information sharing system among the U.S., Japan and ROK targeting the DPRK's missile launch in December 2023.

Clear is the aim sought by the U.S. in its persistent attempt to build an integrated missile defense system with Japan and the ROK.

Lurking behind it is an attempt to further intensify their military subjugation to the U.S. through the establishment of the integrated missile defense system with its satellite countries and to use the forces of its satellites for the military operations of the U.S. forces in case offensive actions against regional countries are launched.

The above-said facts prove that the U.S. moves to build the integrated missile defense system are the dangerous military gambling prompted by the ignorant and selfish intention of the suzerain state to use its satellites as the cannon fodder and bullet shield for realizing its interests even by betting the security of its satellites.

The memorandum pointed out the means of offering profits to ensure the constant boom of the U.S. munitions monopolies.

Today, the U.S. armaments spent in the space field are three times the cost of civil space development, which corresponds to 95 percent of the space-related expenditure of all countries of the world.

The present U.S. administration claims that the establishment of the "Golden Dome" missile defense system will cost only 175 billion U.S. dollars, but the recent announcement of the U.S. Congressional Budget Office that the cost of building the space-based interceptor missile system will amount to 542 billion U.S. dollars to maximum suggests that the plan for "Golden Dome" is the largest arms buildup plan in history.

The global security environment, which is becoming uncertain due to the U.S. undisguised moves for space militarization, proves that the security of the state and the region can be reliably guaranteed only by the symmetry of the matchless power capable of firmly bringing not only the current challenges but also the coming challenges under its control, the memorandum stressed. -0-

Unclear if Phil's health issues prevented him from being involved in the reboot ... but it's worth noting he was briefly suspended from the show following a controversial 2014 GQ magazine interview where he made homophobic and racist remarks.

The NBC video says that it is a surprise meeting. The video also shows that she prayed at The Wailing Wall. The video also says that the meeting was prompted by the Israel Embassy Shooting. The reporter on NBC still tries to imply that Trump is distancing himself from Israel. I don't believe the forced narrative that Trump is distancing the US from Israel.
