✡️❌ 🇻🇦 Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Jewish man, mocked Christian prayer following the Catholic school shooting that killed two children: “Don’t just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying!” 🔗 phillip (@philliplede)
“Catholics don’t think that prayer magically protects them from all suffering. After all, Jesus prayed fervently from the cross on which he was dying.”

Two years later, migrant enclaves are starting to form in Japanese cities.
This is the city of Osaka, now unrecognisable due to the mass influx of Indians.
If in early 2024, it was estimated that foreigners accounted to 2.4% of the population of Japan (~3 million people), by 2035, this number is expected to reach 10-11% of the population with Japan losing its status as an ethnic homogenous country and becoming on par with Western European countries and the U.S.

In early June of that year, Barak wrote to Epstein: “Thx. Call you after the meeting,” and mentioned plans to sit down with Thiel’s Valar Ventures.
Around the same time, Barak was focused on Reporty, later rebranded as Carbyne, an Israeli emergency-response company that collects real-time video, audio, location, and privacy data. He served as chairman of Carbyne’s board and was listed as an early investor in 2015. Epstein helped contribute to Barak’s initial investment.
2016 emails to Epstein and Barak additionally show Valar Ventures’ Andrew McCormack eager to learn more about Carbyne.
From 2015 to 2016, Epstein invested $40 million in Thiel’s Valar Ventures, which has since ballooned to $170 million. In 2018, Thiel’s Founders Fund participated in a $15 million Series B funding round for Carbyne.

🇳🇪🇲🇦 Niger Suspends Intelligence Cooperation with Morocco
Niger’s military leadership has suspended intelligence cooperation with Morocco after uncovering links between Moroccan systems in Niamey and French intelligence contractors.
🔶 The deal had allowed a Moroccan company, tied to Morocco’s DGED (foreign intelligence), to install surveillance infrastructure in the capital. An investigation found the network was both underperforming and connected to French private intelligence. The entire system was dismantled overnight on orders from DGDSE chief Bala Araby.
📜 Context:
• Since the 2023 coup, Niger’s authorities have moved to reduce French influence and reclaim sovereignty over security institutions.
• The decision follows a pattern seen across the Sahel, where juntas in Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso are replacing Western-linked frameworks with regional structures.
• Niger is now relying heavily on human intelligence, with Presidential Guards patrolling Niamey by foot and motorcycle around sensitive areas.
📌 The suspension is a clear signal: Niamey will no longer tolerate foreign backdoors in its security apparatus, even when masked behind regional partners like Morocco.

Russia is trying to repeat the success of the breakthrough north of Pokrovsk by attacking in a sector of the front which hasn't been fortified properly by Ukraine.
The Russians had already conquered part of the Zaporozhzhia defensive line in the middle of June 2025 when they reached the town of Komar in the western part of Donetsk Oblast. They haven't exploited this breakthrough because the goal wasn't to push into Dnepropetrovsk, the goal always was conquering the Donetsk and Lugansk Oblasts first and then maybe conquer additional land.
Now that the southern-half of the Donetsk oblast was fully conquered and with the Ukrainians still refusing to make territorial concessions, the Russian command is now beginning to exploit their breakthrough.
There is a narrow 9 km/ 6 mile gap between the hamlet of Lesnoe and the village of Ternovoe which has no fortifications. The trench systems of the Zaporozhzhia defensive line are immediately north of Ternovoe and are facing southward but the Russians are threatening the village from the east.
Novoselovka is right between Lesnoe and Ternovoe. The hamlet of Voronoe was taken two days ago and there have been reports of Russian DRGs in Sosnovka, as far back as two weeks ago.
This gap, opens the road to the city of Pokrovskoye and if Pokrovskoye falls, the Russians have the possibility to envelop the remainder of the Zaporozhzhia line who has been holding since April 2022 with the frontlines virtually unchanged since or push further into central Ukraine and attack towards Pavlograd or push west towards Zaporozhzhia City and even the city of Dnepro/Dnepropetrovsk.
Recent developments on this front say that the Russians captured two more villages in this sector, the village of Komyshuvakha who was at risk of being encircled and even the village of Ternovoe.

Senior White House officials believe some European leaders are publicly supporting President Trump's effort to end the war in Ukraine, while quietly trying to undo behind-the-scenes progress since the Alaska summit, Axios has learned.
Two weeks after the summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, there has been little clear progress toward ending the war. Frustrated Trump aides contend the blame should fall on European allies, not on Trump or even Russian President Vladimir Putin.
White House officials are losing patience with European leaders, whom they claim are pushing Ukraine to hold out for unrealistic territorial concessions by Russia.
Axios has learned that the sanctions the U.S. is urging Europe to adopt against Russia include a complete cessation of all oil and gas purchases — plus secondary tariffs from the EU on India and China, similar to those already imposed on India by the U.S.
"The Europeans don't get to prolong this war and backdoor unreasonable expectations, while also expecting America to bear the cost," a top White House official told Axios. "If Europe wants to escalate this war, that will be up to them. But they will be hopelessly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."
The Europeans are said to be pushing Zelensky to hold out for a "better deal" — a maximalist approach that has exacerbated the war, Trump's inner circle argues.
"Perhaps both sides of this war are not ready to end it themselves. The president wants it to end, but the leaders of these two countries need it to end and must want it to end as well," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday.
A senior White House official told Axios that Trump is seriously considering stepping back from the diplomatic efforts until one or both parties begin to show more flexibility.
Some U.S. officials have begun to see European leaders as a major obstacle, despite the fact that Trump held a friendly meeting with them and Zelensky less than two weeks ago.

Build a competent war industry and field large armies? No. The EU will turn the continent into one giant bog.
European countries have dried up their bogs and swamps centuries ago to make room for the expansions of farms and cities. Now the EU is preparing to literally destroy human settlements in order to "revive" these bogs.
Another reason the EU is supportive of this plan to revive the continent's long gone swamps is that it will "combat" climate change! Bogs are very good for "carbon retention".
Even POLITICO's authors recognise this plan as an "act of desperation" after the EU failed to kickstart its defense industry, three and a half years after war broke out, a war which Russia had been building up for since 2008 and refuses to negotiate with Russia, clinging on to its international law, except when Israel is involved.
