We have never faced anything quite like this. Diesel fuel and fertilizer have become far more expensive as a result of the conflict in the Middle East, and extreme weather is playing havoc with crops all over the planet. Here in the United States, we just experienced the driest first three months of a year in recorded history. No, that isn’t an exaggeration. Now a “Super El Niño” is coming, and that means that drought conditions are going to get even worse in many areas of the world. The “Super El Niño” of 1877-1878 resulted in widespread droughts that killed more than 50…

Hundreds of protesters descended upon the Southampton Central police station on Tuesday evening as tensions ran high following the release of bodycam footage showing officers handcuffing 18-year-old Henry Nowak as he bled to death while begging for their help. Chanting Nowak’s final words, “I can’t breathe”, hundreds of Britons took to the streets of Southampton to demand justice for the slain student, who was murdered last year by 23-year-old Vikrum Digwa with a ceremonial Sikh knife. As police came onto the scene, they were falsely told by Digwa’s family that Nowak had been racially abusive. Despite Nowak being in clear…

An alleged Tulsa, Oklahoma, home intruder was shot around 12:00 a.m. Monday then identified and arrested after dropping his wallet while fleeing the armed resident. NewsOn6 reported that the alleged intruder broke into the home and was confronted by the resident. The Tulsa Police Department indicated the suspect allegedly reached for his waistband, leading the resident to conclude he might have a gun. Therefore, the resident shot him. The wounded suspect fled the scene and dropped his wallet on the way out, thereby identifying himself as 47-year-old Alvin Basham. Police later located Basham, who “was bleeding from a gunshot wound but was immediately…

The Pentagon has barred journalists from entering its press office after redesignating it a classified space, the latest in a series of restrictions on reporters’ access to the department. First reported by the Washington Post late on Monday, the move was confirmed by Acting Pentagon Press Secretary Joel Valdez, who said journalists would no longer be permitted to enter the office because speechwriters working for Secretary of War Pete Hegseth routinely handle classified information there. Access to senior public affairs officials would remain available by appointment.“This is the most transparent War Department in history,” Valdez wrote on X, adding “No amount…

The modern world is entering one of the most dangerous periods in recent history. Economic wars, rising geopolitical tensions, massive blackouts, water shortages, and collapsing infrastructure are no longer isolated problems, but signs of a growing global crisis. Behind the illusion of technological progress and stability, entire systems are beginning to weaken under pressure, creating a climate of fear, uncertainty, and instability that continues spreading across nations with alarming speed. For decades, modern civilization cultivated the illusion of permanence. Cities expanded endlessly beneath oceans of electric light, financial markets operated every second of the day across interconnected continents, and governments…

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on Monday announced the reopening of the airport in Bunia, the capital city of Ituri province, which is the epicenter of the Ebola Bundibugyo outbreak. The DRC Ministry of Transport and Communications suspended all flights to and from Bunia Airport on May 27 as a “precautionary measure” to “prevent any cross-border spread of the epidemic and to ensure the health and safety of passengers, crews and airport staff.” The flight ban included exceptions for humanitarian and medical flights, subject to approval from the DRC’s aviation and health ministries, but local residents complained that…

Tuesday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) refused to denounce Maine U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner’s Nazi tattoo. Host Kasie Hunt said, “So speaking of politics there today Graham Platner, the likely nominee for Senate in Maine, was meeting with Democrats after additional revelations. There have been some in your caucus, including, Cory Booker and, John Fetterman, notably, who’ve criticized Platner and raised questions about whether he’s the right nominee in that race. Do you think, considering everything on the line control of the Senate, that could come down to that race in Maine, is he the right person…

Tuesday was supposed to be a voting day in the House, with members flying back to Washington to begin their workweek by passing a slate of bipartisan bills. Instead the floor was largely deserted after Republican leaders pushed back the chamber’s first votes — further adding to a gaping divide between the House and Senate in how often lawmakers on each side of the Capitol are carrying out their most basic legislative duties. According to a POLITICO analysis of the Congressional Record, the House has gaveled in 241 days during the 119th Congress, compared to the Senate’s 284 session days.…

Zelensky has angered Warsaw by honoring nationalist figures blamed for massacres of Poles Bartosz Cichocki, who served as Poland’s ambassador to Ukraine from 2019 to 2023, has returned a state award granted to him by Vladimir Zelensky, citing Kiev’s latest round of honoring nationalist figures who collaborated with Nazi Germany and took part in ethnic cleansings.The move follows Ukraine’s state reburial last month of Andrey Melnik, who co-founded Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) in 1929 and later competed with Stepan Bandera for influence within the movement. Both men have been criticized for their collaboration with Nazi Germany during the Second…

A cargo ship was attacked by drones while sailing near the Umm Qasr port in Iraq on Monday. On Tuesday, Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for a missile attack against a commercial vessel, describing it as justified retaliation for an attack by the “terrorist and child-killing U.S. military” against an Iranian ship. The first incident occurred on Monday, roughly 40 nautical miles southeast of Umm Qasr. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center (UKMTO) said the ship involved was hit by an unknown “projectile” on its starboard side, resulting in a large explosion. According to Iraqi…
