A bill increasing penalties for falsely reporting a crime to law enforcement is heading to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey’s desk.

Lawmakers in the Yellowhammer State passed the bill on Wednesday with a 32-0 vote in the Senate.

Many in the state called for harsher penalties for making a false police report after Carlee Russell faked her own kidnapping off Interstate 459 in the city of Hoover last summer – a case that drew national attention.

Bail to Kejriwal to campaign will spell end of arrest of politicians as elections are an ‘all-round-phenomenon’ in India, ED to SC– www.thehindubusinessline.com

Excerpt from www.thehindubusinessline.com

The Directorate of Enforcement filed a sharply-worded affidavit in the Supreme Court on Thursday against the possibility of granting interim bail to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the liquor policy case, saying 123 elections happened in the last five years alone and if politicians are given bail for campaigning, none of them can be even arrested as elections in India are an “all-year-round-phenomenon”.

The filing of the affidavit coincided with an announcement made in open court by Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who headed the two-judge Bench which heard the Kejriwal case, that the court would pronounce its order on the question of interim bail to the Chief Minister on May 10.

Grant of interim bail to Kejriwal to campaign for Lok Sabha elections would be anathema to the rule of law, equality and create a precedent which would permit “all unscrupulous politicians to commit crimes, avoid investigation under the garb of one election or the other, be it municipal election or panchayat elections or assembly or general elections, and thereafter, upon being arrested, seek interim bail to campaign for one election or the other”. In a federal structure, one election was as good as another.

The public says to prioritize the China threat. Will the expert class listen?– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

A new survey from the Pew Research Center reveals that the public increasingly views China as the most pressing foreign policy concern. According to the survey of 3,600 adults in early April, 49% of Americans now hold that “limiting the power and influence of China” should be a top priority in U.S. long-range foreign policy, which is up from 32% in 2018. Meanwhile, only 23% and 22% believe the same about “supporting Ukraine” and “supporting Israel,” respectively.

However, U.S. foreign policy continues to prioritize security in Europe and the Middle East over safeguarding our interests in Asia, which is the world’s most consequential economic region and home to America’s most potent geopolitical foe. The $95 billion aid package signed into law by President Joe Biden last week sent $61 billion to Ukraine, which brings the total U.S. commitment to a staggering $175 billion since Russia invaded in early 2022. The bill also granted $15 billion in military aid for Israel and $9 billion for humanitarian aid in Gaza while allocating a relatively paltry $8 billion to counter China’s dizzying military buildup, which, according to our own military intelligence, will prepare it for a conflict with the U.S. by 2027.

This disconnect between voter sentiment and expert-class behavior on foreign policy demands increased scrutiny, if only because the wisdom of the crowd is self-evident in this instance. Indeed, a Chinese takeover of Taiwan would be far more detrimental to America’s immediate and long-term interests than a setback in Europe or the Middle East — or even both. And so, efforts to repel such an action must be appropriately prioritized and funded.

COVID ‘FLiRT’ variants spreading. Chicago experts urge vaccination.– www.chicagotribune.com

Excerpt from www.chicagotribune.com

 

A new family of COVID variants nicknamed “FLiRT” is spreading across the country, as vaccination rates in Chicago — as well as nationwide — remain concerningly low for some public health experts.

While symptoms and severity seem to be about the same as previous COVID strains, the new FLiRT variants appear to be more transmissible, said infectious disease expert Dr. Robert Murphy.

“A new, more contagious variant is out there,” said Murphy, executive director of Northwestern University’s Institute for Global Health and a professor of infectious diseases at the Feinberg School of Medicine. “COVID-19 is still with us, and compared to flu and RSV, COVID-19 can cause significant problems off-season.”

Murphy urged the public to get up to date on COVID shots, particularly individuals who are at higher risk for severe complications from the virus. While much of the population has some immunity from vaccination or previous COVID infections, Murphy noted that “with COVID-19, immunity wanes over time.”

While the media pretends they are the saviors of democracy, Americans are not so easily fooled. In fact, the majority of Americans find the mainstream media to be one of the biggest threats to freedom and democracy, according to a New York Times/Siena poll. And the evidence now shows that over half of independent voters believe Biden is a bigger threat to democracy than Trump.

That shouldn’t be surprising to anyone reading this but an MSNBC panel “can’t make sense of that.”

According to The Daily Caller:

An MSNBC panel grew bewildered at a poll indicating independent voters find President Joe Biden to be a bigger threat to democracy than former President Donald Trump.

A PBS Newshour/NPR/Marist poll found 53% of independents believe Biden’s second term will “weaken America,” while 42% believed Trump would further harm democracy.

“I find it shocking, honestly,” MSNBC political analyst Susan Del Percio said. “I can’t make sense of that number. I wish I could. I wish I could have some really great insight to it, but I don’t know if it’s an outlier or not, because the other numbers of independents are going in the right direction. So, that may be it.”

Defense attacks Stormy Daniels’ credibility as she returns to the stand in Donald Trump’s hush money trial – Chicago Tribune– www.chicagotribune.com

NEW YORK — Stormy Daniels will return to the witness stand Thursday in Donald Trump’s hush money trial as the defense tries to undermine the credibility of the porn actor’s salacious testimony about their alleged sexual encounter and the money she was paid to keep quiet.

The trial against the former president kicks back off with defense lawyers questioning Daniels, whose account is key to the prosecutors’ case accusing Trump of scheming to illegally influence the 2016 presidential campaign by suppressing unflattering stories about him.

Trump looked on in the courtroom as Daniels for hours on Tuesday described an unexpected sexual encounter she says they had in 2006. Trump denies they ever had sex. Still, a decade later, Trump’s then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, paid her to stay silent in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

Daniels’ testimony was an extraordinary moment in what could be the only criminal case against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee to go to trial before voters decide in November whether to send him back to the White House. Trump has pleaded not guilty, denies any wrongdoing and has cast himself as the victim of a politically tainted justice system working to deny him another term.

Israeli, American flag display vandalized at Harvard University

A display of over one thousand Israeli and American flags was destroyed over the weekend at Harvard University.

The flags were planted by the local chapter of the Young America’s Foundation to honor the victims of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack that sparked the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.

Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Jewish student who helped plant the flags with YAF, said he found the display vandalized coming home from a Sabbath service.

“We had almost all of our Israeli flags and our American flags either thrown all over the campus, thrown in the garbage, or ripped,” Kestenbaum said in a video showing the damaged flags. “All of our hostage posters were of course ripped and destroyed, so we’re gonna get new ones.”

Severe storms were tearing through the central and southeast U.S. late Tuesday and Wednesday, spawning damaging tornadoes, producing massive hail and killing two people in Tennessee and another in North Carolina.

A storm that rumbled across northeastern Tennessee brought high winds that knocked down power lines and trees. Claiborne County Sheriff Bob Brooks said a 22-year-old man was in a car struck by one of the trees.

Wednesday afternoon, a tornado emergency — the weather service’s highest alert level — was issued for an area south of Nashville including the towns of Spring Hill, Chapel Hill and Eagleville.

The U.S. National Weather Service had previously reported a likely tornado on the ground in nearby Columbia, Tenn., about 72 kilometres south of Nashville. People in Columbia were injured and homes were damaged, according to Lynn Thompson, assistant director of Maury County 911. Thompson told The Associated Press that he could not provide any further details: “We’re getting overloaded right now.”

An illegal immigrant from Venezuela who is accused of killing nursing student Laken Riley near the University of Georgia campus in February was hit with a “peeping Tom” charge Tuesday.

Fox News reported 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, who police say beat and suffocated 22-year-old Riley in Athens on Feb. 22, was indicted on 10 charges by a Georgia grand jury Tuesday afternoon.

The Venezuelan national had already been charged with murder, but the 10-count charging document also alleges Ibarra had “spied upon” a UGA staff member through a window on the day of Riley’s brutal killing.

A copy of the inducement obtained by Fox News and signed by District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez laid out the circumstances of the charge.

The indictment said Ibarra “did unlawfully go on the premises of the University of Georgia, University Housing Village Building ‘S’ … for the purpose of becoming a peeping tom.”

Growing misinformation about gun violence is permeating Chinese-language social media, a new report shows.

The report, released Tuesday by the civil rights nonprofit group Chinese for Affirmative Action, pointed to five dominant narratives emerging — largely on WeChat — including the idea that banning guns is a step toward authoritarianism, while gun ownership represents “democracy.”

Another popular belief the report surfaced is that U.S. law enforcement isn’t obligated to protect people, so gun ownership is a necessary element of self-defense, particularly amid an era of anti-Asian hate.

“We are worried the same tragedies will happen again and again,” said Jinxia Niu, the program manager of CAA’s Chinese digital engagement initiative, speaking about gun violence.

Louisiana Bill to Restrict Concealed Carry Near Parades Fails in House– www.usacarry.com

Excerpt from www.usacarry.com

BATON ROUGE, LA – A controversial bill that sought to restrict concealed carry of firearms within 100 feet of parade routes in Louisiana failed to pass in the Louisiana House on Monday, May 6. House Bill 627, introduced by Representative Mandie Landry, did not garner enough support, with 58 representatives voting against it and only 38 in favor.

The bill aimed to amend existing laws to prohibit the carrying of concealed handguns in the vicinity of parades or demonstrations that had obtained a governmental permit. This proposed amendment was part of an effort to enhance public safety at large public gatherings, which often see significant crowds.

HB 627 would have infringed on the rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families, especially in places where the likelihood of encountering a threat could be higher due to large gatherings. The legislation would have done little to prevent criminals, who do not adhere to gun laws, from carrying firearms.

Ten powerful solar flares erupt from Sun over past day– en.inform.kz

Excerpt from en.inform.kz

 Scientists detected ten powerful solar flares that erupted from the Sun over the past day, the Institute of Applied Geophysics has told TASS.

The first flare, ranked as category M1.3 flare, was detected at 12:48 a.m. Moscow time on Tuesday (9:48 p.m. Monday GMT), lasting 30 minutes. The last one, which occurred at 7:30 p.m. Moscow time (4:30 p.m. GMT), was also the most powerful of them all. Ranked as category M8.2, the flare continued for 15 minutes.

Some of those flares disrupted radio communications on the short wave.

Over the past few weeks, scientists have registered four solar flares of the highest X class (X1.7, X4.5 and two X1.3) and a large number of less powerful M-class flares.

Solar flares are divided into five classes according to their X-ray strength: the smallest ones are A-class, followed by B, C, M and X. A0.0 class is equal to the radiation energy found in the Earth’s orbit, 10 nanowatts per square meter. Each letter stands for a 10-fold increase in energy output. As a rule, the flares, known as giant explosions on the sun, send solar plasma into space, and the clouds of these charged particles can bring about geomagnetic storms when reaching the Earth.

Has the U.S. government secretly retrieved exotic craft of “non-human” origin? Newly declassified documents, along with extraordinary legislation, illustrate how two successive Democratic Senate majority leaders appear to have believed so.

Notably, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and the late Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) were not alone in their focus on UFOs. The Democratic heavyweights received critical support and encouragement from a bipartisan group of high-profile senators over the years, including former fighter pilot and famed astronaut John Glenn (D-Ohio); Ted Stevens (R-Alaska), who observed a UFO as a  World War II pilot; Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), then-chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense; 2008 GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.); Senate Intelligence Vice Chairman Marco Rubio (R-Fla.); Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.).

Excerpt from www.nationalobserver.com

Health and climate advocates are urging British Columbia to develop a credible evacuation plan in case of an oil spill in Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet as the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project opens for business.

In a letter dated May 8 and addressed to British Columbia’s Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman, environmental advocacy organizations, along with city councillors from Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Green Party of Canada co-leader Elizabeth May and prominent environmentalist David Suzuki warn that safety measures to protect lives and human health in the event of an oil spill are not in place.

Trans Mountain has published emergency response plans for its pipeline and terminals, but because a spill in Burrard Inlet would involve multiple jurisdictions, a “Greater Vancouver Integrated Response Plan” has been developed. That plan spells out how initial assessments of marine spills would be conducted, reported and communicated. But according to the letter’s signatories, it’s up to the B.C. government to clarify responsibilities specifically.

A Boeing 737 carrying 73 terrified passengers had a horrifying skid off the runway when its wing dangerously ignited within moments of take-off.

The shocking scenes unfolded at Blaise Diagne International Airport near Dakar, Senegal, when the aircraft’s left wing and engine suddenly burst into flames due to a hydraulic problem during acceleration.

Footage captured the chilling aftermath, showing a blanket of fire-suppressant foam engulfing the beleaguered Transair plane’s wing.

More gut-wrenching still are the images of the charred aircraft embedded in the dirt, with a gaping hole visible in the now foam-covered aflame left engine.

Excerpt from phys.org

The eventual prevalence of a piece of misinformation may depend on its topic and the country in which it spreads, with notable differences between the UK, Germany, France and Italy, according to a study published May 8 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Fabiana Zollo from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy, and colleagues. This finding suggests that policies to combat misinformation and polarization may need to be context-specific in order to be effective, the authors say.

Researchers analyzed news activity on Twitter (now X) in France, Germany, Italy and the UK from 2019 to 2021, including a focus on news about Brexit, the coronavirus, and the COVID vaccines. Each news source they analyzed was rated as either “reliable” or “questionable” based upon their NewsGuard (a tool that evaluates the reliability of news outlets based on nine journalistic criteria) score.

Across all four countries, the vast majority of users only ever consumed reliable news sources on each of the three topics. But in every country and in each topic, there was always a small percentage of users who only ever consumed questionable news sources—with very few people consuming a mix of both reliable and questionable sources.

Merchan Nudges Closer to Jailing Trump with 10th Contempt Fine

Excerpt from legalinsurrection.com

Judge Puts Trump on Notice for Jail Time After Finding Him in Contempt for Tenth Time

Judge Juan Merchan found former President Donald Trump in contempt of court for the tenth time, leading to a warning about possible jail time.

Trump faces 30 days at the most if he violates it again.

“Because the offensive statement was made prior to this Court’s Decision of April 30 and because the People are seeking only a monetary fine, the Court will, once again, fine Defendant, $1,000,” Merchan wrote in his filing.

Merchan continued: “However, because this is now the tenth time that this Court has found Defendant in criminal contempt, spanning three separate motions, it is apparent that monetary fines have not, and will not, suffice to deter Defendant from violating this Court’s lawful orders.”

Merchan the put Trump “on notice that if appropriate and warranted, future violations of its lawful orders will be punishable by incarceration.”

In court, Merchan admitted he worries about sending Trump to jail as he pointed to the Secret Service:

“The last thing I want to consider is jail,” Merchan said. “You are [the] former president and possibly the next president.”

—

“The magnitude of that decision is not lost on me,” Merchan said. “Your continued willful violation of the court’s order…constitutes a direct attack…and will not be allowed to continue…It is not allowed to continue.”

New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed that the possibility of former President Donald Trump being jailed in the state is being discussed between the mayor’s office and the New York City Department of Correction.

Adams said in a Tuesday press conference that the Department of Correction and Rikers Island would “be ready” in case Trump is jailed for violating Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order in his New York hush money trial.

The department’s commissioner “is prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island, and I’m pretty sure she would be prepared to manage and deal with the situation,” Adams said.

“We have to adjust,” he said. “In this business, particularly around law enforcement, we have to adjust whatever comes our way, but we don’t want to deal with a hypothetical. But they’re professionals. They’ll be ready.”

The Democratic mayor referenced Harvey Weinstein’s recent transfer to the medical ward at Rikers Island to demonstrate the ability of the Department of Correction to adjust to high-profile cases.

“Additionally, failure to immediately leave will result in disciplinary action as outlined in the Student Manual. You will be immediately placed on emergency interim leave of absence from the University,” the notice states.

Pro-Hamas Mob Shows True Colors, Rips Head Scarf Off Jewish Man Near Met Gala, Then Beats Him – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt from redstate.com

A disturbing video of a pro-Hamas mob assaulting a Jewish man near the Met Gala in New York City Monday evening shows you exactly who many of these “mostly peaceful” pro-Hamas protesters across the nation truly are: violent, hate-filled extremists. At first, the man, who was wearing a Star of David head scarf, or sudra, and the mob of anti-Israel demonstrators yelled back and forth at each other, but then somebody ripped off his head scarf.

But that wasn’t enough. Then they started pummeling him. This would be the top story in the country if this had happened to any other minority, but because the man is pro-Israel, the mainstream media is mostly avoiding the beatdown.

Watch: (Warning—disturbing footage):

“Get the f*** outta here!” one guy can be heard yelling as the fracas heated up. The Jewish man was eventually able to escape and run away, but not before suffering a few serious blows as the mob of around a dozen people surrounded him and tried to prevent his getaway. The footage was taken by a witness who took the video to the local NYPD precinct, but it’s not clear if anyone has been charged for the assault.

The video was posted to social media by the Jew Hate Database, whose website explains their purpose:

In a world increasingly shadowed by the resurgence of Jew hatred since the October 7th attacks, the Jew Hate Database emerged as a beacon of vigilance and resilience. Within the first six weeks of our inception, we garnered over 60,000 followers, a testament to the urgent need for our mission… At our core, we are passionate Jews deeply committed to the welfare of our people and the continuity of our existence…

We stand as a line of defense, setting boundaries against Jew hatred, ensuring that such actions and rhetoric do not go unchecked.

Buildings at Columbia, Cal Poly Humboldt and Pomona have also been taken over recently by anti-Israel activists 

Pro-Palestinian Rhode Island School of Design students seized their administration building on Monday night and barricaded themselves in.

Campus leaders gave them a Tuesday morning deadline to disperse but the activists remain inside.

A video posted on X shows students shimmy food up with a rope ladder to feed the activist students, who demand the art school cut all financial ties with Israel and condemn the country publicly for alleged “genocide.” They’ve reportedly taken over the second story of the building, which houses the president’s office and other financial offices.

“A livestream by the organizers showed protesters gathered in a corridor on the second floor of the building, chanting ‘Free, free Palestine,’ as security guards inside a room appeared to prevent them from entering it. Videos showed other protesters gathered outside the building,” the New York Times reported.

The New York Police Dept. has reported finding some disturbing and dangerous things in the possession of the Nazi Hamas supporters infesting the campus at Columbia University.

It is clear these protesters arrived on the campus of the college prepared for terrorism.

Per Just The News:

Michael Kemper, a NYPD’s chief of transit, posted photos Friday of what police confiscated from the protesters.

“For those romanticizing the protests occurring on college campuses, ‘Death to America!’ is one sentiment that runs counter to what we believe in, what we stand for, and what many have fought for on behalf of this country,” Kemper stated on X. “And if you think the words written on this piece of paper are disturbing … you should hear the vile, disgusting, hateful, & threatening words coming out of the mouths of far too many of these so called ‘peaceful protestors.’”

Kemper posted a video of a pamphlet that stated, “Death to Israeli Real Estate” and “Death to America!” The pamphlet also stated, “DISRUPT/RECLAIM/DESTROY Zionist business interests everywhere!”

NYPD Deputy Commissioner Kaz Daughtry posted on X photos of items he said the police confiscated from protesters who took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. The photo showed gas masks, ear plugs, helmets, goggles, tape, hammers, knives, ropes, and a book on terrorism. The book is by Charles Townshend, Professor of International History at Keele University in England. It was published in 2011 and is 161 pages.

Judge Bans Fmr FEC Chairman From Sharing Facts In Trump Trial– thefederalist.com

Excerpt from thefederalist.com

The New York judge presiding over Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump has strictly limited the information a key witness for the Republican’s defense can testify about in court.

Bragg claims Trump violated the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) when his former attorney Michael Cohen paid pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged affair. According to Bragg, because the cash changed hands ahead of the 2016 election, it should have been publicly reported as a campaign expenditure.

Judge Juan Merchan, a financial supporter of Trump’s campaign opponent with a “rabid pro-Democrat bias,” has gone along with this plan by entertaining Bragg’s weak case and gagging Trump. Merchan further hindered Trump’s legal efforts by declaring former FEC Chairman Bradley Smith is only allowed to testify about limited aspects of his job.

Smith professionally enforced campaign finance laws including the one Bragg has chosen to target Trump over. He has long asserted that “almost anything a candidate does can be interpreted as intended to “influence an election” but “not every expense that might benefit a candidate is an obligation that exists solely because the person is a candidate.”
