Posted By: Dreadnought, 5/27/2024 7:36:29 PM
Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium has expanded, and the refinement of the material is nearing weapons-grade levels, according to a confidential report by the United Nations’s nuclear weapons watchdog. The confidential International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report, viewed by the Associated Press, found Iran possesses 313.2 pounds of uranium enriched to 60 percent, a 45-pound increase from the last watchdog report. Uranium enriched at 60 percent in sufficient amounts is a prerequisite to producing uranium at the 90 percent needed for nuclear weapons, per the IAEA’s definitions.

The prosecution rested Tuesday evening after delivering closing arguments in Donald Trump’s hush-money trial, sending the case to the jury to decide the fate of the presumptive Republican nominee for president after a weeks-long trial that took him off the campaign trail and placed him inside a Manhattan courtroom.
As chaotic scenes unfolded outside the courthouse in lower Manhattan, including an appearance from actor and Biden campaign surrogate Robert De Niro, Trump’s defense team and District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors summed up their respective arguments, both of which focused heavily on the credibility of Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer.
Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden

A pervasive sense of fear has settled in at the highest levels of the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among officeholders and strategists who had previously expressed confidence about the coming battle with Donald Trump.
All year, Democrats had been on a joyless and exhausting grind through the 2024 election. But now, nearly five months from the election, anxiety has morphed into palpable trepidation, according to more than a dozen party leaders and operatives. And the gap between what Democrats will say on TV or in print, and what they’ll text their friends, has only grown as worries have surged about Biden’s prospects.
Former President Donald Trump’s business records trial is in its final stages as closing arguments will commence on Tuesday, and deliberations will begin as soon as Wednesday.
Judge Juan Merchan set closing arguments for Tuesday after the defense rested on May 21. The New York Times reported that Merchan expects the arguments to last about a day, though the Hill noted he did state they could spill into a second day. Trump’s defense will go first, followed by the prosecution. From there, jurors will deliberate whether or not the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is guilty of falsifying business records in connection to an alleged “hush money”

Remember that catchy NYC tourism campaign, “I loooove New Yoork!” I can almost picture President Biden croaking out the catchy tune, but with one word changed: “I loooove Iraaan!”
Iran is the number one state sponsor of worldwide terrorism. They call America the ”Great Satan,” and their stated goal is to wipe Israel off the map. But don’t tell that to Joe Biden, who doesn’t want to upset the Mullahs in case it might hurt his increasingly remote reelection chances. The befuddled octogenarian president actually is demanding that European countries concerned about the Islamic Republic’s nuclear weapons program stand down and refrain from telling the truth—which is that Iran must never,

Less than two weeks before Hunter Biden is set to go to trial for felony gun charges, his father, President Joe Biden, paid a visit to one of the upcoming trial’s key witnesses.
Last night, Joe Biden visited his daughter-in-law Hallie Biden, the widow of Beau Biden and ex-girlfriend of Hunter Biden, according to the White House pool report. Beau Biden was deployed to Iraq and it is Memorial Day weekend.
The president does not appear to be distancing himself from his son as the criminal trial is set to get underway. Joe Biden’s visit to Hallie Biden follows a state dinner held by the White House last week with Hunter Biden
Late last week it was reported that a member of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) stationed at Ft. Liberty (Bragg), North Carolina was under investigation after he shot and killed a 35-year-old Chechen man who was trespassing on his property. Since the original reports, some disturbing information about the deceased and the company he was allegedly contracting with has come out - and it's got special forces families nationwide spooked.
Here's a brief synopsis of what happened, courtesy of the Moore County Sheriff's Department:
On the evening of May 3, 2024, at approximately 8:15 PM, Moore County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to a report of trespassing at a residence
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who almost always sides with the liberal wing on decisions, admitted to sometimes crying after certain rulings in favor of the conservatives.
Sotomayor admitted to crying when speaking at Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute on Friday upon receiving an award.
“There are days that I’ve come to my office after an announcement of a case and closed my door and cried,” Sotomayor said. “There have been those days. And there are likely to be more.”
The justice said there are sometimes moments where she is “deeply, deeply sad.”
“There are moments when, yes, even I feel desperation,” she said. “We all do.
There's word of a new airstrike on Rafah on Sunday, just hours after Hamas lobbed rockets from Gaza into Israel overnight, as we shared earlier. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirms that it launched the strike against a Hamas compound, and took out two of the terror group's top commanders, Fox News Digital reported:
While the exact number of killed remains unclear at this time, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that it struck a Hamas compound in Rafah in which "significant Hamas terrorists were operating."
The IDF, citing intelligence that it said indicated Hamas’ use of the area, said it carried out the strike "against legitimate targets under international law."
Donald Trump spoke at the Libertarian Party Convention on Saturday night and, given the controversy over the invitation within the party, it wasn't surprising that many in the audience expressed their displeasure at the former president's presence.
Trump was trying to pry some Libertarian Party voters away from Robert Kennedy. who spoke earlier in the day to a sparse crowd.
Besides that, it took some courage to speak at a venue where he knew he would receive a mixed reception. Trump paid the crowd little mind, making his points and occasionally responding to the crowd. "You can keep going the way you have for the last long
A North Texas sheriff confirmed the deaths of at least five people in a tornado that struck two counties during the Memorial Day weekend. At least 20 others were injured in the Saturday-night storm.
Cooke County, Texas, Sheriff Ray Sappington reported the deaths of at least five people that struck Saturday night in his North Texas county. As the sun rose on Sunday morning, the trail of devastation appeared to stretch for miles, NBCDFW reported. “We do have five confirmed (deaths), but sadly, we think that that number is probably going to go up,” Sappington told reporters. ”There’s nothing left of this house. It’s just a trail of debris

Biden Campaign: Trump's Black Support

CNN's data reporter is sounding the alarm on a "very troubling" sign for the Biden campaign: Donald Trump's support among black voters has more than doubled.
"Look, if you look at 2024, Biden still leads among black voters over Donald Trump, 69% in an average of polls," CNN's Harry Enten said. "But look at this number for Donald Trump: 22%. Where was Donald Trump at this point? Four years ago in the poll, he was just at 9% of the vote."
"So he's seen more than a doubling in his support among African-Americans," he continued. "This margin, which was in the 70s, just four years ago, look at where it is

The Libertarian Party has chosen 38-year-old Chase Oliver as its 2024 presidential nominee.
An openly gay former Democrat who once supported Barack Obama, Oliver used his victory speech to rail against the U.S. “war machine” and demand an end to the “genocide in Gaza,” according to the Washington Examiner.
After author Michael Rectenwald was eliminated from the race during Sunday night’s voting, the final vote was between Oliver and “none of the above,” in which he ultimately prevailed with around 60 percent support. He announced economist Mike ter Maat as his running mate.
Cracker Barrel hopes splashing out $700 million on refurbishing its restaurants can save the dying chain. The six-point plan includes a makeover for stores with brighter colors to make them less dated, a new logo and new menus. New items on the simplified menu include green chilli cornbread and hashbrown casserole shepherd's pie. Two stores have already been refurbished and ten others are testing a refreshed menu. But CEO Julie Masino said prices in many outlets will rise.
The Libertarian Party on Sunday nominated party activist Chase Oliver for president, rejecting former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after they each spoke at the party’s convention.
Third parties have rarely been competitive in U.S. presidential elections and the Libertarian candidate four years ago won 1% of the vote. But the party’s decision is getting more attention this year due to the rematch between Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden, which could hinge again on small vote margins in a handful of contested states.
“We did it! I am officially the presidential nominee,” Oliver posted Sunday on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s time to unify and move forward for liberty.”
Twice failed Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton refuses to accept the fact that she lost the 2016 election to former President Donald Trump because Americans like him better. During an interview with The New Times, Clinton blamed sexism for losing out to Trump.
Instead of taking accountability, Clinton claimed that women voters abandoned her for not being “perfect,” arguing that they took a “risk” on Trump because he is a man.
Just days before the election, then-FBI Director James Comey re-opened an investigation into Clinton.
Judge Aileen Cannon last Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
One filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago (Snip) "There were no threats and no risk to agents’ safety arising from their allegations relating to possession of documents at a premises already guarded by the Secret Service. But the agents appear to have done so, based on documents produced in discovery, in order to search for alleged contraband they pretended was life threatening in Mar-a-Lago’s gym and kitchen (five and four pictures, respectively),” the motion read.
Actor Robert De Niro suggested that if former President Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election, the United States “government will perish from the earth” and that Trump would “never leave” office.
“Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the earth,” De Niro said from a press conference held by the Biden campaign outside of the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse as closing arguments were happening in Trump’s business records trial, before jury deliberations. “I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
The strike only added to the surging international criticism Israel has faced over its war with Hamas, with even its closest allies expressing outrage at civilian deaths. Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
Osama Siblani, a prominent Arab-American community leader and publisher, announced that Muslims are poised to take control of key political positions across the United States, including the Congress and the White House.
During his speech earlier this month at a dinner honoring former Lebanese security chief Abbas Ibrahim, who has known for ties with Hezbollah, Siblani said, “We have the best we can offer to the United States of America – not only in Michigan but across the country – and we [have] offered our best… The best is yet to come.

Joe Biden on Monday morning delivered remarks at a Memorial Day Ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Earlier Monday morning Kamala Harris and Joe Biden participated in a wreath-laying at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Biden looked bored and distracted. He would rather be anywhere else.
At one point Biden wiped his nose and put his head down while the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff welcomed Gold Star families As usual, Biden made his speech about himself. He told the Gold Star Families about his son Beau’s death.
Beau Biden died of brain cancer at Walter Reed in Bethesda, Maryland in 2015, but Joe Biden usually suggests
Please fasten your seatbelts and remain seated at all times, it looks like we’re in for a bumpy flight. No less an authority than Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says so, claiming Sunday that climate change is one of the driving forces behind a rise in severe flight turbulence.
Buttigieg set out his prediction by first declaring “The reality is, the effects of climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation.” He was speaking on CBS’ Face the Nation, forecasting severe turbulence is something that will continue to“affect American travelers, whether here or abroad.” Buttigieg continued:
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Donald Trump is back in court today on Tuesday for closing arguments in Alvin Bragg’s show trial in New York City.
The Biden campaign, for some reason, decided to hold a press conference right outside the courtroom with disgraced, deranged Trump-hating actor Robert De Niro this morning. Unsurprisingly, the tactic spectacularly backfired on them.
Fox News’s John Roberts revealed that the campaign announced they would be holding the event at roughly 10:15 AM while teasing that “special guests” would be participating.
