“May all be revealed” has been my prayer for our world for many years now. That dearly held wish is now being answered, and the truth is looking every bit as ugly as expected. Reading by Tim Foley: It used to be hard to help westerners see the depravity of the US empire.

Pakistan’s prime minister is pressing President Donald Trump to grant a last-minute two-week extension to his Iran deadline as the clock ticks toward an 8 p.m. cutoff that could trigger sweeping U.S. strikes, offering a potential diplomatic off-ramp in the final hours.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, whose government has served as a primary intermediary between Washington and Tehran, called for…

President Donald Trump’s migration cutoff is pressuring a huge meatpacking firm to offer better wages to President Joe Biden’s last wave of low-wage migrants.

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said that the department might look at taking away customs processing for international airports in sanctuary cities and said that “the Democrats are wanting to defund Customs and Border Patrol. Well, who processes those individuals when they walk off the plane? So, I’m going to have to be forced to make hard decisions, who’s willing to work with us and partner with us?” Host Bret Baier asked, [relevant exchange begins around 5:35] “Mr. Secretary, you know that the issue here is that you have states and…

President Donald Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe on Monday detailed a high-risk rescue deep inside Iran in which U.S. forces — aided by a CIA-led “deception campaign” — raced “against the clock” to locate and recover a wounded airman concealed in a mountain crevice, “invisible to the enemy, but not to the CIA,” after his F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down, while evading capture for nearly two days behind enemy lines.

House Intel Committee Ranking Member Jim Himes (D-CT) last Friday said that he was “not aware” of the National Security Agency (NSA) purchasing Americans’ private communications despite years of reporting about the intelligence community purchasing Americans’ private information.

Powell’s term as chair of the Fed’s board of governors ends on May 15.
