At least 60 Palestinians were killed and 284 others were wounded over the past 24 hours as the IDF prepares for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian death toll since Oct 2023 is now 54,381; 124,381 people are injured or maimed, like the man missing an eye in the photo below. The majority of the victims are women and children. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said the IDF operation will lead to a complete takeover of the territory: "We are finally going to conquer the Gaza Strip," he said. In March 2025, the American taxpayer expedited delivery of four billion dollars in military assistance to Israel. Ireland defends its position that Israel is carrying out genocide in the Gaza Strip.

On this day, twelve short months ago: "Donald Trump became the first former U.S. president to be convicted of a crime after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush-money payment in 2016 to the adult-film star Stephanie Clifford, known as Stormy Daniels, who claimed to have had an affair with Trump in 2006."

Tajuan Washington (19) was charged with assault and weapons crimes after he allegedly shot five people at the Brass Mill Center in Waterbury, CT, during a dispute. None of the victims died. Washington was free on $20,000 bail on unrelated motor vehicle charges and he self-surrendered at police headquarters. His lawyer, public defender Justin Chan, said he believed Washington was defending himself and added Washington had been traumatized by losing a relative to gun violence. Chan added there were no convictions on Washington's record. A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The FBI arrested Nathan Vilas Laatsch (28), a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) employee for attempting to transmit classified information to a friendly foreign government. Laatsch, who held a TS/SCI clearance, said that he had "completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation" that he wanted to send. He said his reasoning for the decision was because he did not align with the current Trumpf junta's policies. The FBI was subsequently tipped off and made contact with Laatsch under the guise of the aforementioned foreign government. Laatsch would end up transcribing and smuggling out classified products on two occasions to who he thought was an official of the friendly foreign government, and was arrested after the second exchange. A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Read more

Zaur Gurtsiev, Deputy Mayor of the Russian city of Stavropol who led an airborne operation to capture Mariupol, has been permanently removed from the chessboard by an explosion on the night of 28-29 May. A man identified as Nikita Penkov (29) approached the veteran special operations officer, a Russian military hero, and activated a hand grenade which neither of them survived. Prima facie, this appears to be a martyrdom operation against Zaur Gurtsiev, a former Russian paratrooper. Russian authorities suspect Ukrainian involvement. Previous Ukraine GUR missions behind enemy lines utilized escape plans or remote detonation devices. See video of operation in link. Read more


Syrian refugee Muhammad Al Muhammad (19) was hailed as a hero after he pinned down a German native woman (39) who stabbed 18 people in Hamburg's main railway station last week. Muhammad was waiting on the platform for his train when he spotted a woman wielding a knife and people running away from her. The hero intervened and assisted a Chechen man who kicked her knee, causing her to collapse. Muhammad then pinned the maniac down until the polizei arrived. None of the victims died and the attacker was sent to a psychiatric facility for evaluation. Strict firearm regulations prevented this lunatic from owning a gun, which she could have used to cause more casualties and possibly fatalities, like a typical US mass shooting. Read more

    Elon Musk has announced his departure from the Trump administration, bringing an end to his role as a special advisor and the public face of the government's cost-cutting campaign. The move comes just one day after the billionaire entrepreneur publicly criticised President Donald Trump's marquee legislative proposal, which he described as "a massive spending bill" that undermines his work. Posting on X, his own social media platform, Musk wrote, "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."
