ATLANTA (AP) — An appeals court has halted the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others while it reviews the lower court judge’s ruling allowing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to remain on the case.
The Georgia Court of Appeals on Wednesday issued the order, which will prevent Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee from moving forward with pretrial motions while the appeal is pending.
OBSERVATION - Fani should be sweating bullets.
Russia -

The U.S. has been tracking Russian warships and aircraft that are expected to arrive in the Caribbean for a military exercise in the coming weeks, in a Russian show of force as tensions rise over Western military support for Ukraine, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
The ships also are expected possibly to make port calls in Venezuela and Cuba, as Russia establishes a Western Hemisphere military presence that the senior Biden administration officials said was notable but not concerning. The exercise, which will be monitored by the U.S. military, will involve a “handful” of Russian ships and support vessels, the two officials said.
It’s not the first time Russia has sent its ships to the Caribbean. This exercise, however, is taking place as Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Moscow could take “asymmetrical steps” elsewhere in the world in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S.-provided weapons to strike inside Russia to protect Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.

Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temperatures highs in the 80 - 90s and fair.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Ukrainian air defense shot down 17 Shahed drones overnight.
Ukrainian drones successfully hit the Russian Novoshakhtinsk refinery tonight, causing a severe blaze to break out. Operations have been shuttered at the plant and a firefighting train has been deployed.
Oil depot was attacked by a drone in Staryy Oskol district of Belgorod region
Ukrainian Military Intelligence destroyed project 498 Saturn tug boat in occupied Crimea with naval drones
Russian ground forces launched attacks south of Chasiv Yar.
Outlook —
In spite of continued Russian attacks, it appears that they are reaching the end of what can be considered an offensive, with very little territory gained over the past few weeks.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- IDF calling up more reservists.
- IAF made a lot of air strikes in S Lebanon overnight.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
Lest we forget - there are still hostages being held in Gaza.
***
Reuters: Hamas lost about half of its forces during eight months of war and relies on hit-and-run tactics
***
The IDF announced on June 5 that it will increase the maximum active reservists by 50,000 soldiers.
***
The IDF is establishing a new rapid-response unit to respond to “terrorist incidents” in the Gaza Strip.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
The Israeli Army: - We withdrew the Bishalah Brigade from the city of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip. There are now 9 IDF brigades operating throughout Gaza (5 of them in Rafah), a total of ~13,000 soldiers.
Israel army says it hit a Hamas compound in UNRWA school in central Gaza. Local health officials say 40 people killed. Hamas and PIJ elements were observed firing on IDF from buildings within the school complex.
The IDF continued clearing operations throughout Gaza.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Gantz, addressing officials of towns in northern Israel: Prepare for difficult days that may turn into a real war.
Channel 12 is reporting that Israel will not go into Lebanon before the operation in Rafah is completed—about three weeks from now.
Massive bombing by IDF in Lebanon overnight, many reports of widespread power outages.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
Yemen’s Houthi rebels unveil solid-fuel ‘Palestine’ missile that resembles Iranian hypersonic missile. The Houthi fired its new “Palestine” missile, complete with a warhead painted like a Palestinian keffiyeh checkered scarf, at the southern Gulf of Aqaba port of Eilat in Israel on Monday. The attack set off air raid sirens but caused no reported damage or injuries.
———INTERNATIONAL ——————————-
Spain will ask a U.N. court to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. Several non-European nations have already made the request
——— FORECAST ————————-
OK, starting to see key indicators of actions for S Lebanon. Second night of heavy airstrikes, likely designed to prepare the battlefield for ground forces entry. The call up of 50K reservists is a partial indicator as well, but this may be due to the rotation out of existing operating reserves. IIRC, Israeli reservists can only server 3 months at a stretch, so the need for new call ups.
Some OSINT analysts are looking at August for Israel to tackle Hezbollah. This is an early window and a lot will depend on how quickly Israel can clean up in Gaza. Part of future Gaza operations is the quick strike unit set up which would free up units for operations against Hezbollah.
Another indicator continues to be warnings by Israeli leadership that operations against Hezbollah will soon begin.
Lebanon -

A New York Democrat running for Congress suggested in a Zoom townhall meeting that Donald Trump supporters need to be subjected to “re-education camps” for the country to “put it all together again” after “we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare.”

OBSERVATION - The theme of re-education camps for opponents of the left isn’t a new one. It just goes to further demonstrate that they want to inflict the same tyranny on the country as did the Soviet Union, China, NK and other dictatorships.

The U.S. Senate voted June 5 to block the so-called “Right to Contraception Act,” which supporters said would protect women’s access to contraception. But conservatives say the bill would actually go much further and is part of a continuing campaign that Sen. Katie Britt (R-Alabama) called a “summer of scare tactics” being pushed by Democrats.
Conservative leaders pointed out that the bill’s vague wording could clear the way for minors to undergo transgender surgeries, as well as receive puberty blockers and procure abortions. The bill’s text reads, in part, that it is designed “to protect an individual’s ability to make decisions about their body, medical care, family, and life’s course.”
It also includes a loose definition of contraception, stating that it is “any drug, device, or biological product intended for use in the prevention of pregnancy, whether specifically intended to prevent pregnancy or for other health need.”

Biden was escorted away from the D-Day ceremony by his wife even though Macron and others strayed behind to greet the veterans. This happened just seconds after the president appeared to have a situation while on stage, squatting and appearing disoriented.

Illegal Immigration –
A memo from their director reportedly orders U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to take extreme measures to instruct illegal aliens on how to obtain asylum – and expands qualification criteria to the point that any illegal alien can easily do so.
The ICE officers are instructed to install signs and videos – with translations available in more than two dozen languages – telling illegal aliens what to say in order to gain asylum, in an email obtained and detailed by The New York Post:
“Instructions from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) acting director Patrick J. Lechleitner to his team includes the installation of signs seemingly instructing migrants what to say to qualify for asylum.”
“There also must be a video ‘explaining to noncitizens that they should raise these concerns’ that ‘should be played on a loop.’ ‘The videos must be played in in-processing areas,’ the email reads.”
The signs provide illegal aliens with a list of things they can claim, such as being “hungry or thirsty,” that will ensure that they’ll be referred to an asylum officer and their “claim will be heard.”
OBSERVATION - Stating the obvious - biden et al wants to anchor as many illegals here in the US as possible to thwart the deportations Trump is announcing.
Russia -
Russian President Vladimir Putin sought to repackage long-standing, tired threats about direct confrontation with the West by claiming that Russia will provide long-range strike capabilities to unspecified actors for strikes against the West.
OBSERVATION - This brings back warning from 2018 and threats to place Russian missiles in Cuba and Venezuela. Perhaps other nations in Central / South America as well. Cuban Missile Crisis 2.0.
Ukraine –

RUMINT –
3 surface-to-surface missile carriers have been deployed to the Black Sea area, up to 24 Kalibr missiles.

Ukrainian air defense shot down 5 Russian Kh-101 missiles and 48 Shahed drones overnight. Areas targeted include Odesa, Kyiv, Bila Tserkva, and western Ukraine.
Ukraine launched missiles against targets in the Luhansk region.
Ukrainian forces reportedly have recaptured most of Kalinina (located NE of Chasiv Yar) and pushed Russian invaders back over the Chassiv Yar channel.
Renewed Russian assaults in the Ocheretyne salient.

Outlook —
Still more rumblings concerning Ukraine successful counter attacks in the Kharkiv region as well as devastating defensive fights around Chaziv Yar. The high water mark of the Russian offensive has been reached and beginning to ebb.
Interesting to see if Russia really did send missile boats out to sea. Ukraine drone boats and aircraft have been able to essentially own the waters. This may signal a degree of desperation by Russia to try to get this asset back into the fight after being silent for most of the year.
