Senate confirms Emil Bove to Third Circuit, as Dems fail to thwart Trump pick
Emil Bove, President Donald Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, has been confirmed to a lifetime seat on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals — the culmination of a tumultuous campaign from his detractors that ultimately fractured his support among the Senate GOP. Trump has long taken pride in his selections for the federal judiciary, of which there were hundreds during his first term,

‘Misdirected by the misinformation’ – Reactions to British PM Keir Starmer’s statement on recognizing Palestinian state in September
Following Thursday’s announcement by French President Emmanuel Macron vowing to recognize a Palestinian state this September, … It appears the United Kingdom has responded to the call. Last night British Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined France in setting September as a deadline for Israel to meet his conditions, warning that failure to do so would automatically lead to the recognition of a Palestinian state.
Saudi Arabia builds trade corridor to circumvent Houthis amid continued attacks on Israel & shipping lanes
Port of futuristic ‘Neom’ desert city becomes hub for trade corridor. Saudi Arabia is building a new regional trade corridor linking Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iraq to circumvent the southern Red Sea, where the Yemeni Houthi terrorists continue to fire on ships while launching missiles at Israel. The Saudi Press Agency announced Wednesday that the Neom port, located in northern Saudi Arabia, relatively close to the Jordanian and Iraqi borders, completed a trial run of a new trade corridor, which would cut cargo times to Egypt and Iraq in half.
Arab Nations Call for Hamas to Disarm and End Gaza Rule
Several Arab countries are joining other countries and urging Hamas to disarm and end its rule over Gaza. Middle East expert Anders Persson sees it as part of an emerging diplomatic tsunami to increase pressure on the parties.
Two medical researchers say tick-borne meat allergy should be allowed to spread because eating meat is “morally impermissible”
In their paper, they used the warped argument that “eating meat is morally impermissible” and so “efforts to prevent the spread of tick-borne AGS are also morally impermissible.” AGS, or alpha-gal syndrome, is an allergy to mammalian meat which can be life-threatening. It is caused by a tick bite.
Essentially, because the two medical researchers feel that eating meat is morally impermissible, they feel that justice is done if people develop this potentially life-threatening condition as a result.
This Isn’t About Israel — It’s About Global Jihad
While Americans debate from thousands of miles away, Israel just made one of the most consequential decisions in its modern history: to vote toward the annexation of Judea and Samaria. Predictably, Western voices—our most popular pundits, politicians, and yes, pastors—are in an uproar, clutching the pearls of the long-dead “two-state solution.” But let’s be clear: this move isn’t about peace treaties, land swaps, or failed diplomacy. This is about survival. And it’s about stopping the march of radical jihadist Islam before it reaches your doorstep.
8.8-Magnitude Earthquake Triggers Pacific-Wide “Gog and Magog” Tsunami
Rabbi Yekutiel Fish, author of the Hebrew Torah blog, Sod HaChashmal, emphasized that forces of nature, such as earthquakes and volcanoes, are manifestations of God’s judgement, denoted in the Bible by His name ‘elohim.’ The rabbi noted that the seismic aspect of God’s influence in the world was explicitly described in Psalms, which describes earthquake-generated tsunamis as an end-of-days phenomenon. Therefore we are not afraid though the earth reels, though mountains topple into the sea. Its waters rage and foam; in its swell mountains quake. Selah. Psalms 46:3-4
Colonel Hezi Nehama: The war in Gaza can be won in a month
He also argues that Hezbollah’s weakened posture in the north makes it possible for Israel to shift forces southward, thereby enabling a full-scale ground operation in Gaza. Col. Nehama believes the war against Hamas can be won—and won swiftly—but only through a decisive and aggressive strategy that goes beyond the current approach.
Iranian general was killed in street chase, not airstrike, daughter claims
The daughter of a top Iranian general killed in June says her father died in a street chase with Israeli agents, not an airstrike. Mahdieh Shadmani made the explosive claim in a video posted Monday to Instagram, according to Iran International. “Some might think my father was killed in an airstrike, but it was a direct chase with the Israelis,” she said. The general, Ali Shadmani, was head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters—Iran’s main war command. He was officially reported dead on June 17. Iranian state media said he died from injuries sustained in an Israeli airstrike in Tehran.

Hezbollah’s southern front no longer exists – IDF
In summarizing its last nine months of action against the Hezbollah terrorist organization in Lebanon, the IDF said that the Iranian proxy’s southern front, which faces Israel, no longer exists.

Smotrich: Rebuilding of Gaza Jewish communities ‘closer than ever’
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich on Tuesday declared that the rebuilding of Jewish communities in the Gaza Strip was now “closer than ever,” outlining a vision for a plan even larger than previous efforts. “This is a realistic work plan,” he stated. Speaking at a conference organized by the Gush Katif Heritage Center, Smotrich stressed that the sacrifices made by Israel during the war against the Hamas terrorist group were not intended “just to hand Gaza from one Arab to another.” He called the coastal enclave “an inseparable part of the Land of Israel.”

Hostage families welcome Arab League’s call for Hamas to relinquish Gaza
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum responded on Wednesday to a rare unified statement from Arab League nations – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt – calling for Hamas to disarm and relinquish control of the Gaza Strip. “We welcome this important progress and the Arab League’s recognition that Hamas must end its rule in Gaza,” the Forum said in a statement. “Kidnapping innocent men, women, and children is a blatant violation of international law and must be unequivocally condemned.”
Half of ‘very liberal’ US Jews believe Israel is comitting genocide, JPPI survey finds
Of US Jews in general, 45% say Israel is too aggressive in its war in Gaza, while around 33% say Israel is not aggressive enough. Split socio-politically, the majority of liberal Jews believe Israel is overly aggressive, while most conservative Jews (a smaller cohort) believe that Israel is not aggressive enough. 70% of Jewish Trump voters (roughly a quarter to a third of US Jews) believe Israel isn’t aggressive enough,
A Podcast Had Guests Calling on People to ‘Take Down’ and ‘Kill’ Jews — and Nothing Happened
Is a podcast guest in America permitted to call for the killing of Jews? As far as I know, that’s incitement. A random antisemitic female guest appeared on the Fresh and Fit Podcast with host Myron Gaines, whose real name is Amrou Fudl. The show has more than 1.5 million subscribers. Gaines pretends to be an intellect, and he is not a very good actor.

As Parental Skepticism Increases, The American Academy Of Pediatrics Calls For An End To All Non-Medical Vaccine Exemptions
As public and parental skepticism over Big Pharma’s never-ending vaccine schedule for children grows, the push to inject young Americans by force, even against their parents’ wishes, is growing too. But as tax-funded tyrants call for eliminating what medical and religious freedoms remain, anger and suspicion are exploding. The latest shoe to drop: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released a policy statement calling for an end to all non-medical exemptions from immunization mandates imposed on school children. It’s being taken seriously. But the backlash to the draconian proposal to trample religious liberty and parental rights is escalating quickly.

Another Canary: The Las Vegas Economy Is Tanking Just Like It Did In 2008 And 2009
If you want to get a really good indication of where the U.S. economy is heading, just look at what is happening in Las Vegas. During good times, hotel occupancy rates are very high and lots of money is thrown around in the casinos. But when times are getting tough, less people head to Las Vegas and those that do go tend to be tighter with their money. We saw a perfect example of this during the Great Recession. Once the global financial crisis hit, gambling revenues in Las Vegas plunged. The following comes from an ABC News article that was published in 2009…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Pitches Eyeball-Scanning World ID to Bankers
Shut out by privacy regulators skeptical of his iris-scanning ID scheme, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is taking a different route. He’s now turning to the financial sector to pitch World ID, a digital identity platform built on the premise that artificial intelligence has made it impossible to tell humans from machines. It’s a solution aimed at solving a problem AI itself has created.
Is The Federal Reserve Purposely Trying To Destroy The U.S. Economy?
Oops, they did it again. Even though the housing market has been in a depressed state for an extended period of time and even though economic conditions are slowing down all over the country, the Federal Reserve has once again refused to lower interest rates. What in the world are they thinking? I certainly share President Trump’s frustration with the Fed. Central banks all over the world have been cutting rates, but our central bank just won’t budge. Have Fed officials gone completely insane, or are they purposely trying to destroy the U.S. economy?
Big Tech proposes European Commission adjust water efficiency rules to allow data centres located where water is scarce to be viable
A collaboration of Big Tech and data centre operators has submitted a paper to the European Commission detailing the issues it has with the Commission’s policies on the restriction of water and energy requirements for data centres. Data centres require enormous amounts of energy and water to operate. So Big Tech and data centre operators are proposing that the Commission adjust their policies to include a statistical trick that will allow data centres to operate in locations where water is scarce.
Two medical researchers say tick-borne meat allergy should be allowed to spread because eating meat is “morally impermissible”
Last month, a paper by two American researchers from the Western Michigan University School of Medicine was published in the journal Bioethics. In their paper, they used the warped argument that “eating meat is morally impermissible” and so “efforts to prevent the spread of tick-borne AGS are also morally impermissible.”
AI in Wyoming may soon use more electricity than state’s human residents
On Monday, Mayor Patrick Collins of Cheyenne, Wyoming, announced plans for an AI data center that would consume more electricity than all homes in the state combined, according to The Associated Press. The facility, a joint venture between energy infrastructure company Tallgrass and AI data center developer Crusoe, would start at 1.8 gigawatts and scale up to 10 gigawatts of power use.
UK Government Spends £850m to Cover Up Stupid Afghan Mistake
In September 2021, the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) accidentally leaked a spreadsheet. The file contained personal information – including names, locations and contact details – of 100 British officials including special forces and MI6 personnel, as well as thousands of Afghan nationals. The Afghan names were applicants for relocation under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) having assisted the British Forces. The leak meant Taliban-linked accounts were then able to access the information and were reportedly using the data to trace survivors within hours, posing critical safety risks to UK intelligence staff and the Afghans who helped them. The UK government called it an isolated mistake. It wasn’t.
Americans Spend Nearly Half Of Their Days Online, And Young People Are More Suicidal Than Ever
Our society is more addicted to the Internet than ever. So how has that affected us? Are we happier than we once were, or are we less happy? Are we more mentally healthy than we once were, or are we less mentally healthy? I don’t have to give you the answers to those questions, because you already know. Our society has gone completely nuts, and our suicide rate has soared. In particular, we are seeing historically high levels of suicide and depression among our young people. We have a major national crisis on our hands, but hardly anyone is talking about it.
It’s A Trap: We Are Escalating A War Against The One Nation On Earth That Could Completely Destroy Us
Just six months ago, there was so much optimism that we were going to have peace with Russia. It was never going to be easy, but at least President Trump was willing to talk to the Russians to see if an agreement would be possible. Unfortunately, Trump is now telling us that he is “not so interested in talking anymore”, and instead he is making threats. As I have warned repeatedly, threatening the Russians will backfire severely. Someone that is close to Trump needs to explain to him that this approach is only going to make things worse.
