Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD): "Our new analysis reveals that when President Trump issued a mass blanket pardon to 1,500 January 6 felons and dozens of mostly white-collar criminals, he wiped out $1.3 billion in restitution payments and fines they owed directly to their victims and to American taxpayers. While prior presidents overwhelmingly reserved pardons for those who accepted responsibility for their crimes, made full restitution to their victims and paid all their legal fines, Trump uses pardons not only to shorten the sentences of his political friends but to wipe out the debt they owe to their victims and to our society. The Trump presidency is overseeing a massive transfer of wealth not only from the poor to the rich but from the innocent to the guilty. This is a golden age for politically connected criminal felons." read more


Researchers asked whether living within proximity to a golf course affect the risk of Parkinson disease (PD). A case-control study found the greatest risk of PD within one to three miles of a golf course, and that this risk generally decreased with distance. Effect sizes were largest in water service areas with a golf course in vulnerable groundwater regions. These findings suggest that pesticides applied to golf courses may play a role in the incidence PD for nearby residents. read more


NYC Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been forced to hire a private security firm because of a deluge of threats against him. "I woke up yesterday to a message that said, The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim,'" Mamdani said. "This is what I see and read quite regularly." After the primaries, the NYPD will then take over his security. If elected, the democratic socialist would be the city's first Muslim and Asian mayor. Mamdani said Trumpf and other Islamophobes are to blame for the threats against him. He pointed to a recent political flyer by a pro-Cuomo super PAC that darkened and lengthened Mamdani's beard, and a social media post by City Councilmember Vickie Paladino calling for Mamdani to be deported even though he is a US citizen. read more

The IDF killed 59 and wounded 200 Palestinians near food aid centers in Gaza. The IDF said it was reviewing the matter. The shooting comes as many Gazans are in the grip of famine, according to international aid agencies. The UN said a "very limited" amount of food was being brought into the Strip. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said Israel will not end the killing in Gaza until hundreds of thousands of Palestinians leave the enclave. "We will end this campaign when Syria is dismantled, Hezbollah is severely beaten, Iran is stripped of its nuclear threat, Gaza is cleansed of Hamas and hundreds of thousands of Gazans are on their way out of it to other countries, our hostages are returned, some to their homes and some to the graves of Israel," said Smotrich during his speech in the illegal settlement of Eli in the central occupied West Bank. Smotrich claimed that these are not only the goals of the government but rather a consensus of the Israeli people and soldiers. read more

The invasive Asian needle ant is a stinging, carnivorous pismire that has been slowly spreading across the US. Last year at least three cases of life-threatening anaphylactic reactions were reported in Georgia, making this little (and little-known) insect a growing problem. Asian needle ants will reach their yearly peak numbers in July and August. They are small and blend in so well that stings often occur when someone, perhaps while gardening or moving wood, unknowingly disturbs them. "Imagine somebody inserting a needle directly into your flesh," said one researcher. These ants are now widespread on the East Coast. For some, the stings can be life-threatening. For others, it's an unusual pain that can come and go for hours. Pet owners should be vigilant about where their dogs and cats venture to. read more


Comments

Islamophobe Laura Loomer on NYC Democrat Zohran Mamdani: He's a "communist and jihadist" and if he wins, the US "in store for another 9/11 terror attack." Link: angrywhitemen.org

Ms. Loomer has made herself a tidy little fortune of $10m spewing Islamophobic bile. She has also been responsible for personnel changes at the DOD if the person wasn't loyal enough to Israel and AIPAC.

#4: Hilarious photo, thanks.

Maybe one of these Asian needle ants struck back on behalf of the migrants or the Iranians. Evil Stepford Wife DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was hospitalized today for an allergic reaction: www.cnn.com

Noem has bad karma. A few months ago her handbag was stolen while she dining at a posh restaurant. What's next for the Puppy Killer this year? Can't wait to read about it.
