Its uncontrolled entry was confirmed by both the Russian Space Agency and European Union Space Surveillance and Tracking. The Russians indicated it came down over the Indian Ocean, but some experts were not so sure of the precise location. The European Space Agency’s space debris office also tracked the spacecraft’s doom after it failed to appear over a German radar station.

Michael Herzog: Trump’s disruptive tactics spurred Arab action on Gaza that Biden couldn’t
“There was a sizable layer of officials in Biden’s State Department who ranged from reserved to outright hostile toward Israel,” Herzog said. “That created many difficulties for us—we often had to go through them to reach Secretary of State Antony Blinken.” Herzog contrasted Biden’s approach with Trump’s disruptive tactics. “Figuratively speaking, he throws a grenade into the room. There’s smoke, chaos, and then, on the back of that chaos, Trump begins to negotiate and extract favorable terms for himself.” Trump’s proposal to evacuate Gaza, while extreme, was effective at spurring regional engagement.

Pope Leo’s first appearance reveals three big clues about his papacy
Pope Leo XIV gave three important clues about what kind of leader of the 1.4-billion-member Catholic Church he will be. Leo’s first clue was his choice of name. Popes often use this choice to send their first major signal about the priorities of their new papacy. Leo’s second clue was his choice of language and the words he spoke, which put a clear emphasis on the need for peace, something Francis also often focused on. None of his speech to the crowds gathered in St. Peter’s Square was in English, but rather Italian, the language of the papacy, and a brief foray into Spanish to greet his former community in Peru. He did not mention the U.S.. Leo’s third clue was in his choice of attire.Unlike Francis, who spurned all the trappings of the papacy including on the first day he was elected in 2013, Leo wore a traditional red papal garment over his white cassock. Although Leo follows in the tradition of Francis, he signalled he is a new, and different, pope.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) took to social media to voice his concerns following the news that US President Donald Trump was considering waiving the requirement that Saudi Arabia normalize ties with Israel before a defense agreement. “I have been working on and supportive of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel for years.

He continued, “However, I would like to make it crystal clear that I will never support a defense agreement with Saudi Arabia or other elements of a proposed deal that does not include normalizing the relationship with Israel

‘Talking To God’ Through ChatGPT?: Artificial Intelligence Is Morphing Into Old-Fashioned Idolatry
“The thread’s original post by a 27-year-old teacher recounted her partner’s conviction that ChatGPT ‘gives him the answers to the universe.’ She read their chat logs and found the AI treating him as if he were ‘the next messiah.’ Numerous replies shared stories of loved ones falling into spiritual mania, supernatural delusions, and prophetic fantasies fueled by AI, believing they were chosen for sacred missions or that the AI had become sentient.” Alarmingly, the article went on to state that, “Eventually, he claimed to have made the AI self-aware, learned to ‘talk to God’ through it, or that either the bot was God or he himself was God.”

2 Of “The Wars Of The Apocalypse” Threaten To Spiral Entirely Out Of Control
Decisions that are being made this month could dramatically alter the course of human history. If the Ukrainians decide to attack Russia’s Victory Day parade with a vast army of drones, the Russians would almost certainly absolutely devastate Kyiv in return, and any hope for peace in Ukraine would be gone. Meanwhile, negotiations between the Trump administration and the Iranians will determine whether an apocalyptic scenario unfolds in the Middle East in the months ahead. Over the past few years, I have written extensively about “the wars of the apocalypse” in my articles and in my books. At this moment, 2 of those wars threaten to spiral entirely out of control. So let us hope that global leaders choose to make wise decisions when faced with tough choices.

Starmer lied: Riots after Southport murders were not caused by the “far right,” new report finds
The report stated that the causes of the disorder were complex, including social deprivation, austerity and decreasing trust in policing, and that it was mostly disaffected individuals and influencers who incited people to act violently. Sir Keir Starmer’s initial statement, which labelled the unrest as “far right thuggery,” misled the public and potentially led to miscarriages of justice for non-violent protestors. Past Prime Ministers have arguably resigned for less, JJ Starky writes.
