    VIDEODavid Carlson, the pizza delivery "roommate" of the suspected shooter of prominent Democrats in Minnesota, Vance Boelter, seems to trying way too hard to portray his supposed buddy as MAGA. Yeah, a "MAGA" guy who had "No Kings" leaflets in his car. Adding to the suspicions about the Pizza Guy is how defensive he was about showing the actual text message on his phone that he claimed was sent by Boelter. Something is seriously OFF with this picture.

    Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump “promoted” the violent environment that brought the shootings of Minnesota lawmakers over the weekend. Co-host John Berman said, “There was a state representative, Democratic leader of the state legislature in Minnesota killed over the weekend, a state senator shot. How would you describe the current political atmosphere in this country this morning?” Merkley said, “I feel like Trump has really popped the lid off of the rhetoric and the the sense of hate and violence and promoted this type of an environment. It’s profoundly disturbing for...

    North Korea has played a critical, though often overlooked, role in developing the very Iranian military capabilities now being used against Israel. Iran’s Emad and Ghadr ballistic missiles, deployed in its recent retaliatory strikes, are advanced derivatives of the North Korean No Dong missile, developed with direct North Korean assistance and parts.

    Tehran has asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to press U.S. President Donald Trump to use his influence on Israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire with Iran in return for Tehran's flexibility in nuclear negotiations, two Iranian and three regional sources told Reuters on Monday. Gulf leaders and their top diplomats worked the phones all weekend, speaking to each other, to Tehran, Washington and beyond in an effort to avoid a widening of the conflict as longstanding enemies Israel and Iran intensified their attacks in their biggest ever confrontation. Iran is willing to be flexible in the nuclear talks...

    Undercover video shows a Western Carolina University director of institutional assessment detailing a ‘strategy’ to ‘embed’ DEI. The WCU administrator caught on camera is ‘no longer employed by the university,’ a school spokesperson says. ... She went on to explain that if DEI is not explicitly mentioned in an office or title, it can remain undetected by legislators. “It is easier for them to be like, well, you need to get rid of that position because it has that niche title,” she says in the video. “Well, if we don’t create titles, and that it’s more just the work you...

US authorities have not immediately confirmed or commented on Zakharova’s remarks.

    DUBAI—Iran has been urgently signaling that it seeks an end to hostilities and resumption of talks over its nuclear programs, sending messages to Israel and the U.S. via Arab intermediaries, Middle Eastern and European officials said. In the midst of a ferocious Israeli air campaign, Tehran has told Arab officials they would be open to return to the negotiating table as long as the U.S. doesn’t join the attack, the officials said. They also passed messages to Israel saying it is in the interest of both sides to keep the violence contained. But with Israeli warplanes able to fly freely...

    The Cyprus visit is a calculated effort to advance India's Mediterranean strategy by countering the Turkey-Pakistan alignment, they added. Cyprus's maritime connectivity and strategic location position it as a potential hub in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC).With Cyprus set to hold the rotating presidency of the EU Council in 2026, PM Modi's visit -- the first by an Indian Prime Minister in 23 years -- paves the way for deeper India-EU collaboration during Cyprus's leadership term. This visit comes amid heightened Turkey-Pakistan solidarity, particularly following Turkey's support for Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.Cyprus, engaged in territorial disputes with Turkey, naturally...
  • Hawaii just passed the first climate tax in U.S. history. Tourists will foot the bill. $100M a year. Here’s what lawmakers aren’t saying out loud.

    06/16/2025 7:34:10 AM PDT · by davikkm · 100 replies
    The ink is dry. Hawaii has officially become the first state in the nation to impose a climate tax. It’s called the Green Fee. The name sounds harmless. The impact is anything but. Senate Bill 1396 is now law. It tacks on a 0.75% increase to the Transient Accommodations Tax. That means every hotel stay, every short-term rental, every cruise ship docking in the islands will now carry a new surcharge. The state expects this to rake in $100 million annually. This isn’t a symbolic gesture. It’s a full-scale revenue engine. The money will be funneled into climate resilience projects....
  • Israel Takes Control of Iran’s Skies—a Feat That Still Eludes Russia in Ukraine. Power mismatch in Israel-Iran war shows importance of air superiority.

    WSJ ^ | June 15, 2025
    Within 48 hours of starting its war on Iran, Israel said it gained air superiority over the western part of the country, including Tehran. Israeli warplanes began dropping bombs from within Iranian skies instead of relying on expensive long-range missiles. That is a feat that the giant Russian air force has been unable to achieve in Ukraine in 3½ years of war. This setback is one of the reasons why Moscow’s troops have been bogged down in grinding trench warfare, sustaining staggering losses, ever since they failed to rapidly seize Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, in February 2022.
