Your Whereabouts Are Known at All Times
“Big Brother is watching you” is no longer a fictional admonition. Everywhere you go, your location is recorded by phone technology, license plate readers, Uber and Lyft transactions, and cameras. Privacy? Forget about it. Your location history is in the hands of many tech companies. Can the police and other government agencies force tech companies to share that information about you? The U.S. Supreme Court took up that question on Monday. The court’s decision could have a widespread impact on your privacy. If your location history puts you within a 1-mile radius of a bank robbery with hundreds of other people, you could become a suspect, swept up in the wide net cast to find the perpetrator.
Under one Rochester roof: DFL office, mosque, Somali community center and six transportation companies
A longtime Rochester resident told Alpha News the Nick Shirley videos prompted him to pay closer attention to what he was seeing around town — and said the 1500 Building quickly stood out as especially suspicious. Inside Rochester’s “1500 Building,” a dense cluster of tenants operate under one roof, including the Olmsted County Democratic Party, a Somali community center, an Islamic mosque, and a half-dozen transportation companies operating out of separate suites.
After giant parade, no tanks in Moscow this year
For the first time since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia will not display any military equipment at this year’s traditional Victory Day parade, the Defense Ministry in Moscow announced, according to news agencies. Victory Day marks the end of World War II. Normally, the Russian regime flaunts its military might in the form of missiles, tanks and aircraft during the parade, which is held on May 9th every year. This will not be the case this year, officials say, citing the “current operational situation” without further details.
Trump threatens Iran with automatic weapons: No more Mr. Nice Guy
“Iran can’t get its act together. They don’t know how to sign a non-nuclear agreement,” the US president writes, urging the Iranians to “get smart soon.” The post features an AI-generated image of Trump wearing black sunglasses and holding an assault rifle, with explosions visible in the background. “NO MORE MR NICE GUY,” it says in capitals.
Iran’s Economy Buckles Under War Pressure as Crisis Deepens
Iran’s economy is rapidly deteriorating under the strain of war, with more than one million people out of work and inflation soaring to crippling levels. According to The Wall Street Journal, another million jobs have been indirectly affected, as businesses shut down and supply chains collapse across the country. At the center of the crisis is a tense standoff between Iran and the United States. Washington is betting that economic pressure will force Tehran to yield, while Iran is hoping rising global energy costs will push the U.S. to ease its blockade.

Iran Announces Fuel Rationing As Brent Sets New War Highs, After Trump Rejects Tehran’s Latest Offer
Brent crude reaches $120/barrel – new Iran war high, and highest since June 2022. Simultanously, Iran’s currency has collapsed to a record low, plunging to 1.8 million rial per dollar – also amid mass layoffs in various Iranian sectors. CENTCOM reportedly preparing for “short wave of strikes” on Iran in order to potentially break the Hormuz impasse & force Tehran back to the negotiating table. Trump rejects Iran proposal as it won’t give up nuclear program. Trump recently met this week with oil and gas executives at the White House to address energy fallout, and as oil pushes higher: Axios.
China Loses Monopoly Over The Rarest Of Rare Earths
With less than three weeks to go the Trump-Xi summit in China, the scramble for leverage and superiority – whether in terms of the Iran war or the just as important supply chain of rare earths – is on. That explains why the Pentagon’s push to get its hands on the rarest of the rare-earth elements leads all the way to this small port city in Malaysia. As the WSJ reports, Australia’s Lynas Rare Earths has begun pumping out heavy rare earths, the elusive kind that China dominates. “No one had made a separated heavy rare earth outside of China in 20 years,” said Amanda Lacaze,
Liberals Push Fake Immigration Stats to Undermine Trump Deportation Agenda
Democrats and the liberal media are pushing the narrative that most of the illegal aliens being deported have “not committed any crimes.” But that claim breaks down under even the most basic scrutiny, and is instead just another attempt to convince the public to accept mass amnesty and ultimately citizenship for every illegal alien.
The Day The Memecoin Dies
… we have reached the point in the batshit insanity cycle where people are boarding planes and booking hotels to celebrate coins that started as jokes about dogs. Pause and really sit with that.
Memecoins are not businesses. They are not technologies in any meaningful sense. They produce nothing, fix nothing, and generate exactly zero in revenue unless you count the transfer of money from the last guy in to the guy just ahead of him. They are vapor. Digitized empty space. Financial air pockets passed hand to hand with a straight face, as if this is all perfectly rational behavior.
Putin Presents Victory Day Truce In Ukraine During 90-Minute Trump Call

The Negev channels are flowing: record desert floods echo King David’s vision
The hills north of Arad turned white Monday under a blanket of hail, roads across the Negev and Arava were shut down, and Nahal Tze’elim, the ancient desert stream that drains into the Dead Sea near Masada, recorded the strongest flow since measurements began. The Israel Meteorological Service confirmed that approximately 30 millimeters of rain fell in the Nahal Tze’elim drainage basin in a short period, triggering the record-breaking flash flood. The Bible repeatedly treats the Land of Israel as a living participant in Jewish history. Rain falls when Israel is restored to its land and is withheld when it is driven out. Desert streams flowing again are not symbols invented by modern readers; they are the Bible’s own chosen language for national return and divine intervention. Isaiah states it plainly: “I will open rivers on barren heights, and springs in the midst of valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water”
Supreme Court sides with a faith-based pregnancy center

IRGC, not Mojtaba Khamenei, is in charge of Iran, analysts say
On operational matters, Iranian and Pakistani sources identified IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi as a central figure. Iran’s leadership structure is shifting following the assassination of Ali Khamenei and the appointment of his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, as supreme leader, with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps taking a more dominant role in decision-making, according to officials and analysts. While Mojtaba Khamenei formally sits at the top of the system, three people familiar with internal deliberations said his role is largely to legitimize decisions made by military leadership rather than direct policy himself,
Maverick Arabic news outlet exposes Hamas’ abuse of Gazans
A nongovernmental Arabic media outlet based in the United States with scores of journalists across the Middle East has been exposing Hamas’s abuse against Palestinians, including the rape and sexual assault of women and children, challenging a generation of distortion about Gaza in mainstream Western media. The unfiltered coverage, which led to the arrest and torture of three local journalists in Gaza by the Islamic terror group last year, comes amid continuing criticism over the international wire services that have journalists and stringers based in Gaza for collusion with Hamas,
Israel sanctions fundraising campaign for Gaza flotilla over Hamas links
The ministry pointed to reports that members of the Global Sumud Flotilla network were recently detained in Tunisia on suspicion of money laundering and corruption. The measures target the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) “Second Mission,” an initiative reportedly including more than 1,000 participants on 100 vessels that recently departed from Turkey, Italy and Spain. Jerusalem said the flotilla serves as a cover for Hamas-linked fundraising activity. Most of the vessels are currently in the area of Crete.

‘Change your course’: IDF intercepts Gaza flotilla far from Israel
Officials say navy moved to enforce Gaza maritime blockade against Global Sumud Flotilla, a 100-vessel convoy carrying about 1,000 activists, hundreds of miles from Israel’s coast. The IDF began taking control late Wednesday of the Global Sumud Flotilla’s Spring 2026 Mission, which was west of Crete and sailing toward the Gaza Strip, though it had been expected to arrive only next week. The Foreign Ministry mocked the flotilla, saying the “medical aid” found on board consisted of “condoms and drugs.”
Florida Governor Bans Tax Dollars From Being Spent On ‘Radical Climate Agendas And Identity Politics’
Thanks to a series of recently approved laws, state agencies and local governments in the Sunshine State will no longer be allowed to spend any taxpayer money on “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) schemes. Spending by local governments for “climate change,” “net zero,” the “Green New Deal,” “environmental, social, and governance” (ESG), and “sustainability” programs is also officially verboten.
New genome editing method could swap entire genes and correct 1000 mutations at once
New technology enables the insertion of a large segment of DNA into a genome, potentially expanding gene therapy treatment from cancellation of disease-causing mutations to replacement of an entire gene, scientists say. This distinction is important: Because some diseases involve hundreds of mutations, pursuit of a gene therapy treatment would require hundreds of gene edits that would be subject to individual federal approval, Liu said. “The biggest impact of this technology is we can correct 1,000 heterogeneous mutations at once,”
To what extent is Egypt building up its forces in Sinai?
There is also infrastructural buildup: the Egyptian army is building three bases in Sinai that include airports – in violation of the agreement – while expanding its other bases in the peninsula and constructing new bunkers. Satellite imagery has revealed that since 2013, Egypt has built dozens of floating bridges (mostly military) across the Suez Canal, in addition to a railway bridge and the digging of tunnels under the canal. All of these will allow Egypt to move forces into Sinai much faster than before.

The largest land war in Europe since World War II has raged for years, the war with Iran is poised to go to a new level once fighting resumes, and the Hormuz crisis threatens to destroy the global economy. In this environment, it’s critical for leaders to choose words carefully. But statements by King Charles and President Trump are making headlines for the wrong reasons.
Global Oil Crisis Escalated to New Level; U.S. Farmers Planting Fewest Acres of Wheat Since Records Began in 1919
Every day that the Strait of Hormuz is closed, the damage done to the global economy gets worse. But full consequences of the global oil crisis won’t be felt for a while because nations are still running thru their oil reserves. Full consequences of the global fertilizer crisis won’t be felt until harvest season. What we’re experiencing now is just the small tip of a very large iceberg.

Iranian naval blockade stays until Iran agrees to nuclear deal
US President Trump said Iran will remain under a naval blockade until it agrees to a deal that addresses US concerns about its nuclear program. The blockade is “somewhat more effective than bombing,” Trump said. “They are choking like a stuffed pig. And it is going to be worse for them. They can’t have a nuclear weapon,” he added.
