While international air travel to the US from Europe, South America, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean is significantly down because of Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic foreign and domestic policies, travel bans, irrational Islamophobia in America, rising aviation prices, and ICE brutality against foreigners and migrants, air travel from the Middle East to the US has not declined. This month EgyptAir expended service to the US by adding to two new direct routes to Los Angeles and Chicago.

Authorities braced for the possibility that a damaged chemical tank in Southern California could leak or explode as an evacuation order continued into the Memorial Day weekend for 50,000 residents with no timeline on when they can return. Firefighters have been spraying the outside of the tank with water hoses in an effort to cool the chemicals heating up inside and prevent an explosion. Lee Zeldin, head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said Sunday the "most likely scenario" is a "low-volume release," where officials will be able to "monitor, neutralize, and contain the threat." "The Orange County Fire Authority is working to keep the temperature of the tank down. That is very important," he said on CNN.


Unable to cheat at golf at his health department-sanctioned Bedminster resort in NJ because of heavy rain and opting out of attending his good-for-nothing son's wedding in the Bahamas this weekend, Dummkopf Trumpf unleashed a maelstrom of idiotic AI-generated images confirming that his cognitive skills are in deep irreversible decline and/or he is mixing medications.

US authorities have charged Iraqi national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi (32) for allegedly plotting to assassinate Ivanka Trump in order to avenge IRGC-QF General Qasem Soleimani, a beloved Iranian military leader who Donald Trump recklessly ordered murdered by a drone strike in Baghdad Iraq on 3 Jan 2020.

In Mafia parlance, Dummkopf Trumpf "crossed a line" and the unforgiving IRGC-QF and MOIS will maintain a KGB-like personal vendetta against him and members of the Trumpf Crime Family (TCF) for some time to come.

IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon continue in widespread looting and pillaging. An IDF reservist admitted: "There was another mission [in Lebanon] -- an unofficial one: Taking out all the loot." The "spoils" would be unloaded at an outpost so they'd be waiting for the soldiers when they went home.

The Trump administration will never admit this, but the biggest reason that Trump is a fan of AI is because of how easily AI can conjure up images that make Donald Trump look great.

The image you're looking at now of Trump as Superman was posted by him last summer, but it's been just one of many, many AI images in which Trump looks better than anyone else.

Just a few weeks back, we had of course Donald Trump as Jesus, excuse me, I mean Donald Trump as a doctor healing a patient while people around him pray and there is a strange creature in the background at the top.

But again, it makes Donald Trump look better than others.


The Trump administration is moving to close what it describes as a loophole that allows migrants to remain in the United States while awaiting permanent residency. On Friday, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced new guidance directing immigration officers to treat the transition from temporary nonimmigrant status to permanent immigrant status under Section 245(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act as a process that should generally take place outside the United States, according to a document obtained by the Daily Caller. (RELATED: An Incredible Share Of Migrant Households Use Welfare, Study Finds) Under the guidance, individuals seeking lawful permanent residency would typically be required to return to their home country, complete screening procedures and obtain an immigrant visa through the U.S. Department of State before reentering the U.S. as immigrants.

You may have seen people on TikTok or Instagram talk about a sleep hack called "sun gating." It's a simple concept:

Go outside soon after you wake up and let the morning sunlight hit your eyes, without looking directly at the sun.

While the name may be new, the science behind it isn't. Health experts have studied how morning sunlight exposure affects your body for years.

It turns out that getting bright, natural light early in the day can help reset your internal clock (called your circadian rhythm) which plays an important role in how well you sleep and how you feel during the day.
