GLOBAL OUTLOOK
- SHOTS RING OUT AT TRUMP DINNER – A California teacher and registered Democrat named Cole Allen appears to have attempted to kill members of the Trump administration, including Trump, at a White House Correspondents Dinner. He was injured in the attack, and so were two secret service agents. The fallout from the shooting has only just begun. The shooting happened at the Wahington D.C. Hilton Hotel.
- AI BECOMING BIGGER THAN OIL – AI is now bigger than oil and gas in terms of capital investment, having topped $400 billion. It is also the largest debt-segment within U.S. investment-grade credit at $1.4 trillion.
- POPE PROMISES NOTHING MORE THAN INFORMAL BLESSING FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE – Pope Leo XIV has affirmed he has no plans to go beyond allowing priests to bless gay marriages to formalizing blessings for gay marriages.
Leo declared, “When a priest gives the blessing at the end of Mass, when the Pope gives the blessing at the end of a great celebration like the one we had today, there are blessings for all people. Francis’s famous expression, ‘everyone, everyone, everyone,’ expresses the Church’s conviction that everyone is welcomed, everyone is invited, everyone is invited to follow Jesus, and everyone is invited to seek conversion in their own lives. To go beyond this today, I believe, could cause more disunity than unity, and that we should seek to build our unity on Jesus Christ and on what Jesus Christ teaches.”
