Wyoming Sheriff Targets Denver Officers with Provocative Recruitment Campaign
In a bold move that has sparked widespread conversation, a Wyoming sheriff has launched an audacious recruitment campaign aimed directly at law enforcement officers in Denver, Colorado. The campaign, highlighted by a conspicuous billboard in Denver, extends an invitation to officers disillusioned by local budget cuts and perceived restrictions on their ability to enforce the law. This initiative by the Laramie County Sheriff's Office in Wyoming capitalizes on the growing discontent among Denver officers following an announcement of an $8.4 million budget reduction for the Denver Police… اقرأ أكثر

China Launches Mysterious Stealth Warship
A new stealthy Chinese corvette or light frigate has ostensibly made its maiden voyage.
The ship's design has some broad similarities to Sweden's radar-evading Visby class corvettes, including a main gun that sits concealed inside low observable cupola when not in use, but is larger by all indications.
How fast work on this vessel seems to be progressing also speaks to the scale and scope of China's shipbuilding capacity, something that presents huge challenges for even the country's most well-equipped competitors, principally the United States.
Just two weeks ago, China… اقرأ أكثر

سيرسل بايدن مليار دولار أخرى إلى إسرائيل
The Biden administration notified Congress on Tuesday that it was moving forward with more than $1 billion in new weapons deals for Israel, U.S. and congressional officials said, a massive arms package less than a week after the White House paused a shipment of bombs over a planned Israeli assault on Rafah.
The latest weapons package includes the potential transfer of $700 million in tank ammunition, $500 million in tactical vehicles and $60 million in mortar rounds, the officials said.
The decision to proceed with the transfers underscored the Biden administration’s reluctance to deepen… اقرأ أكثر

الرسوم الجمركية ستنقل الإنتاج الصيني إلى المكسيك
The Biden administration's new tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and other strategic sectors aim to protect the future of U.S. manufacturing, but they will likely accelerate a shift of Chinese production to Mexico, Vietnam and elsewhere to avoid them.
U.S. officials and trade experts say that without strong efforts to cut off transshipped or lightly processed Chinese goods from Mexico and other countries, China's underpriced excess production will still find its way into U.S. markets.

صدمة تعرض لها تمثال الهولوكوست في باريس
In a disturbing act of vandalism, the Paris Holocaust Memorial, a site dedicated to honoring those who bravely rescued Jews during the Nazi occupation of France in World War II, has been defaced. The memorial, known for its solemn tribute to the 'Righteous Among the Nations,' individuals who risked their lives to save Jews from the Holocaust, was found covered in blood-red handprints in a blatant display of disrespect and hatred. This act has sparked outrage across the nation and drawn condemnation from various quarters, including French Jewish organizations and city authorities.

البيت الأبيض يقول: "لا توجد إبادة جماعية" في غزة
U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday that President Joe Biden's administration does not view the killings of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel in its war with Hamas as genocide.
Sullivan said the United States wants to see Hamas defeated. He also said that Palestinians caught in the middle of the war were in "hell" and that a major military operation by Israel in Rafah would be a mistake.
"We do not believe what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. We have been firmly on record rejecting that proposition," Sullivan told reporters at the White House.… اقرأ أكثر

Global Leaders Panic Over Drop In Fertility Rate
The world is at a startling demographic milestone. Sometime soon, the global fertility rate will drop below the point needed to keep population constant. It may have already happened.
Fertility is falling almost everywhere, for women across all levels of income, education and labor-force participation. The falling birthrates come with huge implications for the way people live, how economies grow and the standings of the world’s superpowers.

Missile Fired From Drone Kills 4 Members Of Pakistani Family
A missile fired by a drone struck a house in a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban in northwestern Pakistan along the Afghan border before dawn Tuesday, killing at least four villagers, including children, police said.

He said it was not immediately clear who fired the missile and officers were investigating. The Pakistan army evicted Pakistani Taliban insurgents from the region years ago, but they have been regrouping there.

الولايات المتحدة تصعد حربها التجارية مع الصين
White House announces new anti-China tariffs:
-Electric vehicles: from 25% to 100%
-EVs batteries: from 7.5% to 25
-Solar cells: from 25% to 50%
-Steel and aluminum: from 0%-7.5% to 25%The White House said the action was “carefully targeted at strategic sectors” which also included aluminium and steel, critical minerals, solar cells, port cranes and medical products. The tariffs would apply to $18bn worth of Chinese products, it said.
The US will quadruple the tariff rate on Chinese EVs to 100 per cent this year and roughly triple the rate on imports of steel and aluminium. The rate on Chinese semiconductors will be doubled from 2025. The tariff on solar cells will also be doubled this year to 50 per cent.
