Scientists have identified a new species of ladybird spider in Morocco with an unusual and striking red coloration and an elusive endangered wild cat was seen in Thailand for the first time in 30 years.

Big news for the USA!' The Dotard-in-Chief gleefully posted that he callously slashed 271,000 federal jobs since seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, even as polls show Americans are deeply dissatisfied with his inept mishandling of the US and global economy.

During Dummkopf Trumpf's first Reign of Terror, he caused nearly 30,000 civilian deaths in Syria and Iraq when he targeted ISIS: airwars.org

There's more Murder-Death-Kill to come directly and indirectly from the sinister Trumpf junta.

The leaked DOJ memo encourages AUSAs to cite any of approximately 30 violations of the US Code to prosecute people who film or interfere with ICE operations.

The worst Attorney General to ever head the US Justice Dept, insider trader Pam Bondi, is implementing "National Security Presidential Memorandum-7: Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence" (25 Sep 2025) to terrorize Americans.

Next year ICE will be using hi-tech Israeli hacking devices to warrantlessly track people in the US, as well as pay bounty hunters to track down migrants. DHS has been purchasing military-grade weapons and is looking to lease warehouses in order to detain migrants wholesale like so much Amazon products.

"National Security Presidential Memorandum-7: Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence" and USAG Pam Bondi's memo provide the policy mechanisms to create a brutal federal-level police state in the US.

Too bad that previous presidential administrations, Republican or Democratic, did not abolish DHS or ICE over the past 24 years, because now these two agencies have become a runaway train, demolishing lives, dreams, careers, businesses, families, and civil liberties throughout the US.

"Some of you clowns are just insufferable.

Hopefully your negativity stays in the comments and not directed at your families.

Merry Christmas, snowflakes!"

Pope Leo, celebrating his first Christmas after being elected in May by the world's cardinals to succeed the late Pope Francis, has a quieter, more diplomatic style than his predecessor and usually refrains from making political references in his sermons.

In a later Christmas blessing, the pope, who has made care for immigrants a key theme of his early papacy, also lamented the situation for migrants and refugees who "traverse the American continent."

Leo, who has in the past criticized Dummkopf Trumpf's brutal immigration crackdown, did not mention the Dotard-in-Chief. In his Christmas Eve sermon, the pope said refusing to help the poor and strangers was tantamount to rejecting God himself.
The new pope has lamented the conditions for Palestinians in Gaza several times recently and told journalists last month that the only solution in the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people must include a Palestinian state.

Since Israeli PM Benjamin Netabyahu initiated his vengeance campaign against the Palestinians on 7 Oct 2023, al-Jazeera reports at least 70,369 Muslims have been killed and 167,160 wounded or maimed in the Gaza Strip, the majority of them women and children; 1,034 have been killed in the West Bank.

After the so-called "ceasefire" agreement in the Gaza Strip came into effect on 10 Oct, at least 406 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,118 others wounded in continued IDF attacks. The UN reports that nearly the entire Gaza Strip remains in a food emergency, with hundreds of thousands of people experiencing high acute malnutrition rates.

An international arrest warrant issued by the ICC for crimes against humanity remains active for Benjamin Netanyahu and the Istanbul Public Prosecutor in Turkiye issued arrest warrants for him and 32 other Israelis accused of committing war crimes. An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law or an international tribunal at the Hague.

AFRICOM's initial assessment is that multiple terrorists were killed in the ISIS camps.

"US Africa Command is working with Nigerian and regional partners to increase counterterrorism cooperation efforts related to on-going violence and threats against innocent lives," said Gen. Dagvin Anderson, commander, USAFRICOM. "Our goal is to protect Americans and to disrupt violent extremist organizations wherever they are."

US Africa Command will continue to assess the results of the operation and will provide additional information as appropriate. Specific details about the operation will not be released in order to ensure operational security."

According to ACLED (https://acleddata.com), "armed groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province have wrought havoc in north-eastern Nigeria for more than a decade, killing thousands of people, however most of these have been Muslims." The MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) targets petroleum facilities and pipelines that benefit the oil companies and Nigerian elites but have despoiled the environment for poor people living in the Niger Delta.

Nigerian Foreign Minister Yusuf Maitama Tuggar said the AFRICOM attack was a "joint operation" targeting "terrorists," and it "has nothing to do with a particular religion."

In central Nigeria, there are also frequent clashes between mostly Muslim herders and farming groups, who are often Christian, over access to water and pasture.

Deadly cycles of tit-for-tat attacks have also seen thousands killed, but atrocities have been committed on both sides.
Human rights groups say there is no evidence that Christians have been disproportionately targeted.
