Par AFP © 2026 AFP Le Kenya poursuivra le projet de centre de quarantaine destiné aux ressortissants américains exposés à l'épidémie de virus Ebola en RDC, a assuré mercredi son ministre de la Santé Aden Duale, en dépit de l'indignation populaire et d'une décision de justice suspendant son ouverture.Nombre de Kényans craignent des contaminations dans leur pays, qui ne dispose d'aucune frontière commune avec la RDC et n'a enregistré aucun cas d'Ebola depuis la déclaration de l'épidémie mi-mai en République démocratique du Congo. Des années de corruption et de mauvaise gestion ont fortement affaibli le système de santé au Kenya."La base aérienne de Laikipia est l'un des 23 centres de quarantaine et d'isolement que nous construisons. Et nous n'arrêterons pas", s'est défendu M. Duale devant les députés, soulignant que le centre n'est pas uniquement destiné aux étrangers. "Le gouvernement n'a rien fait d'illégal (...) Cette épidémie ne nécessite aucune consultation", a-t-il poursuivi.La forte contestation contre ce projet a même entraîné la mort de deux personnes, tuées par balles, selon des défenseurs des droits humains, lors de manifestations lundi à ...

Par AFP © 2026 AFP Le secrétaire général de l'Otan, Mark Rutte, a estimé mercredi lors d'une visite à Kiev que la Russie était "de plus en plus désespérée" face à l'Ukraine, qui "continue de tenir bon" plus de quatre ans après le début de l'invasion russe."Alors que l'Ukraine continue de tenir bon, d'innover et de remporter des victoires sur le champ de bataille, la Russie est de plus en plus désespérée", a déclaré M. Rutte lors d'une conférence de presse aux côtés du président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky.Selon M. Rutte, la Russie subit des "pertes considérables" et son économie est "soumise à de graves tensions" malgré l'assouplissement des sanctions occidentales sur ses exportations d'hydrocarbures.Il a cependant remarqué que la guerre débutée il y a plus de quatre ans "ne montre aucun signe d'arrêt".

Nor figured out how to turn on his ex-wife Helen Knode's TV set. "Everything is very complex and it's satanic to me, the dependency that people have on computers," Ellroy, 78, says cheerfully in a bass baritone drawl from his pad in Denver, Colorado.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York and the Drug Enforcement Administration announced an indictment against Ruben Rocha, Mexican Senator Enrique Inzunza, Culiacan Mayor Juan de Dios Gamez and seven other current and former Mexican officials for allegedly conspiring with the Sinaloa Cartel to import massive quantities of drugs into the U.S. in exchange for political support and bribes...

A Georgia Supreme Court opinion issued Tuesday could stop an execution ban based on the availability of the COVID-19 vaccine. Attorneys with the Federal Defender Program argued that the vaccine was not attainable for infants younger than 6 months old, which would validate a court order that stopped executions until the vaccine was "readily available to all ages." The state issued an execution warrant in 2022 for Virgil Delano Presnell Jr., the state's longest serving inmate on Georgia's death row, but his execution was stayed based on the arguments about the vaccine's availability. Presnell was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1976 murder of an 8-year-old girl and the sexual assault of another... Continue Reading »

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the historic decision seemed to be the victorious finish line of nearly 50 years of pro-life work. Instead, it led to an unexpected twist and a new starting line. Frank Pavone with Priests for Life explains, "Yeah, it's a big adjustment, first of all, for both the pro-life and the pro-choice movements; one, when Roe was reversed, a change, frankly, that neither side was, you know, fully prepared for." That adjustment has been messy. Some states have tightened abortion laws, while many others have expanded access. "Much of this is a necessary natural consequence of leaving abortion policy to the ultimate decision of what essentially are 52 different jurisdictions, 52 where there's the 50 states, there's DC, which has its own jurisdiction, and then there's the federal government," Pavone says...

Somehow President Donald Trump managed to find someone less qualified than Tulsi Gabbard to replace her as interim director of national intelligence. Gabbard is a former congresswoman and combat veteran. Bill Pulte, named Tuesday by Trump, is a partisan sycophant who has none of the "extensive national security expertise" that the law requires of a DNI nominee. Continue Reading »

With the naming of Bill Pulte to serve as acting Director of National Intelligence today, President Donald Trump offered a stick in the eye to the intelligence community and cause for celebration to his base. "It's a middle finger to the Senate. A fuck you to the Deep State," MAGA loyalist Steve Bannon told POLITICO. "The White House staff hates him because they can't control him." Continue Reading »

Unlike some other appointments, President Trump's naming of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as national intelligence director was not something I could get too whipped up about. It was a bad appointment, but — as I've argued before — the ODNI should never have been established in the first place (an overcorrection in the 9/11 aftermath). Its short history has featured too many episodes of politicizing intelligence. And the government's critical intelligence work is still done by the CIA, the National Security Agency, the FBI's National Security Division, the president's National Security Council, and the other more active components.

President Trump lashed out at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel's escalation in Lebanon in an expletive-laden call on Monday, two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call told Axios. Why it matters: Earlier on Monday, Iran threatened to abandon the negotiations with the U.S. over Israel's actions in Lebanon. On the call, Trump called Netanyahu "crazy" and accused him of ingratitude, according to two of the sources. He also put the brakes on Israel's plan to strike Beirut. Continue Reading »

The Save Europe Act, a European Citizens' Initiative demanding that the political elite halt 'replacement migration', secure Europe's borders, and protect the ethnocultural identity of European nations, has surpassed 100,000 signatures in only three days since its launch. The initiative was launched by Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek with the goal of turning remigration into a Europe-wide political project. Speaking to a reporter at the Remigration Summit in Porto, Portugal, held on 30 May, Vlaardingerbroek described the Save Europe Act as 'essentially a legal proposal that we will send to the European Commission and demand that they transform into law.'

From the moment Donald Trump entered office last year, he dismantled in weeks the gender identity-based laws and policies that Democrats had taken years to institute. With the stroke of his pen, he nixed the teaching of gender identity in publicly funded schools; restored Title IX to protect sex, not gender identity; and banned trans people from the military, among other executive orders. Some Republicans, however, are worried that their party hasn't gone far enough, and are baffled that Congress hasn't matched the executive branch's verve. Politico reports that hardline Republicans such as Missouri Senator Josh Hawley are frustrated that more bills haven't made their way through Congress and been enshrined into law, thereby future-proofing them for whoever replaces Trump.

Step Aside Private Credit: Partners Group Is First Private Equity Fund To Gate Investors The private credit gating-gate is spilling over to private equity.  Partners Group Holding AG has capped withdrawals at one of its evergreen private equity funds amid heightened redemption pressure, as the investor anxiety that hit private credit vehicles is now spilling over to other asset classes within private markets, Bloomberg reported. The Swiss firm, one of Europe’s largest listed alternative asset managers, said its $8.6 billion Global Value SICAV fund was limiting redemptions to 5% of net asset value per quarter after withdrawal requests surged to an estimated 9.8% in the second quarter, according to a letter to investors seen by Bloomberg News. Amid the surge in redemptions targeting private credit funds, a spokesperson for Partners Group told Bloomberg that there’s been a pick-up in redemption requests from private wealth clients across the firm’s evergreen portfolio. Such clients, who are typically "far more skittish than institutional investors", make up about a fifth of assets under management across its platform and a particularly large proportion of Global Value’s investor base. Partners Group is one of the pioneers of evergreen funds, ... Continue Reading »

SpaceX Reportedly Targets $135 IPO Price As Morningstar Says Valuation Should Be Halved Last week, Elon Musk called Bloomberg's "SpaceX Said to Cut IPO Value" story "false," marking the latest clash between Musk and the MSM over coverage of his companies. Reuters has released a new report, which, based on sources, says SpaceX is planning an IPO at a price of $135 per share, aiming to raise a record $75 billion by selling about 555.6 million shares at an estimated $1.75 trillion valuation. SpaceX's roadshow is expected to begin Thursday, with a potential Nasdaq debut under the ticker SPCX on June 12. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, BofA, Citigroup, and JPMorgan are leading the deal. Sources said the IPO is "structured as an all-primary offering," which means the proceeds will go to SpaceX rather than existing shareholders. Musk will reportedly be subject to a 366-day lock-up period. At a $1.75 trillion valuation and projected 2025 booking revenue of $18.67 billion, SpaceX would trade at roughly 94 times trailing sales. The company also reported a $4.94 billion net loss in 2025, compared with a prior-year profit, with Starlink internet as the major profit engine. Beyond ... Continue Reading »

Family Of Henry Nowak's Migrant Killer Sparks Outrage After Asking For "No Further Pain" In Tone-Deaf Statement Via Remix News, The family of Vickrum Digwa has been accused of adding insult to injury after issuing a statement asking that Henry Nowak’s murder not be used to cause “further pain,” despite fierce public anger over the way the 18-year-old was stabbed, falsely accused, handcuffed and left dying in the street. Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 21 years on Monday after stabbing 18-year-old Henry Nowak multiple times in Southampton. According to the account provided, Henry was stabbed five times, including twice in the back of the legs, once in the face and once fatally in the chest. The case has caused national outrage not only because of the killing itself, but the wider context. After the stabbing, Digwa’s brother phoned police and claimed that “some White guy” had racially insulted his brother. Henry had not done so, a court ruled. Instead, Digwa had used a ceremonial knife to stab him repeatedly. Police then arrested Henry purely on the basis of the report of racial assault against him. ... Continue Reading »

Major Iranian Attack On Kuwait International Airport Leaves One Dead, 63 Injured Kuwait International Airport has come under Iranian missile and drone attack on Wednesday, in a significant strike that killed one person and left 63 people injured - according to the country's health ministry, with several of the victims being seriously wounded. A passenger terminal was directly struck, damaging facilities including diplomatic missions at the airport, Kuwaiti authorities have said. Area hospitals conducted seven major emergency surgeries following the incident, underscoring that it was a mass casualty event. via The Telegraph Kuwaiti defense ministry spokesperson Brig Gen Saud Abdulaziz Al-Atwan described the attack as "criminal Iranian aggression which resulted in significant material damage to the building and injuries." It confirmed engaging 13 missiles and 17 drones total which were fired from Iran.  Civil aviation authorities immediately suspended traffic and transferred arriving flights to separate unaffected airports after "terminal one came under Iranian attacks causing casualties and damage." The cross-border airport attack came after violent exchanges of fire between the US and Iran, which at first looked like limited one-off incidents, but then became an extended tit-for-tat. Overnight, the US military deployed a Hellfire missile to ... Continue Reading »

Futures Drop, Yields And Oil Rise On Latest Middle East Hostilities US equity futures are mixed as oil prices, bond yields, and USD move higher in response to the latest overnight attacks in the Middle East with no public progress on a deal. As reported previously, the US struck Iran’s Qeshm Island, which was then met with retaliatory Iranian strikes on US bases in Kuwait; explosions were also reported in Saudi Arabia, and air sirens were set off in the UAE. US Centcom said that the Iranian drone attacks were “successfully defeated.” As of 8:00am ET, S&P futures were down 0.1% but off session lows: absent the now daily gamma squeeze, the S&P is poised to halt a nine-day rally; Nasdaq futures rose 0.2% with semis bid premarket led by MRVL, INTC, AVGO, and AMD as Mag7 names are weaker.

ADP Reports US Economy Added The Most Jobs In 16 Months In May Following a shockingly strong JOLTS report, ADP just reported a stronger than expected rise in jobs added in May. ADP says 122k jobs were added in May - better than the 120k expected - and the biggest monthly addition since January 2025 Source: Bloomberg "Hiring was more broad-based in May than we've seen in the last few years," said Dr. Nela Richardson, Chief Economist, ADP.

These Two Things Are Not The Same... Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity, Viral images of a grand classical arch and a twisted modernist one reveal the unbridgeable divide between leaders who celebrate America's heritage and those who seem determined to replace it with something cold, crooked, and alien. The contrast could not be clearer or more deliberate. On one side stands towering marble, golden eagles, and inscriptions evoking "One Nation Under God." On the other, a bent, leaning metal structure that looks like a giant wire hanger or a failed piece of iron work. One lifts the spirit. The other drains it. Arch at the Obama Presidential Library.

The other embraces the brutalist and deconstructivist styles that have produced so many unloved public buildings in recent decades. The Obama Presidential Center ... Continue Reading »

Trump Team Proposes New Tariff Round On 60 Countries Over Forced Labor Practices The U.S. Trade Representative has issued an overnight statement and proposed a new round of tariffs of at least 10% on imports from 60 trading partners, marking the administration's largest attempt yet to rebuild its tariff empire after the Supreme Court struck down earlier levies. The new duties stem from Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which investigates whether trading partners are failing to block products made with forced labor - or slave labor.  Those tariffs would apply to Canada, Mexico, the EU, Taiwan, and the UK, while goods from China, India, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and Switzerland would face a higher 12.5% rate. The USTR explained that the higher rate targets countries that have failed to impose or effectively enforce forced-labor import bans. "The failure of our most important trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labor is unacceptable. This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an unlevel playing field," U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer wrote in a statement. Greer added, "We will no longer tolerate this ... Continue Reading »

Bass Advances To Runoff In LA Mayor's Race; Pratt Leads Contenders Authored by Jackson Richman and Beige Luciano-Adams via The Epoch Times, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass advanced to the November runoff election for Los Angeles mayor. The Associated Press called Bass’s advancement after 1:30 a.m. ET on June 3. Reality TV star Spencer Pratt and Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman lead 11 other candidates in the race for runner-up. The runner-up will face Bass in the runoff election on Nov. 3. Bass campaigned on issues including affordability, public safety, and homelessness. Pratt focused his campaign on crisis management, fiscal responsibility, government reform, public safety, homelessness, infrastructure improvements, support for small businesses, and oversight of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. Raman’s platform emphasized ending homelessness, expanding housing, protecting renters, improving public safety and transportation, environmental protection, immigrant rights, animal welfare, and support for small businesses. Both Raman and Pratt have criticized Bass for her response to recent wildfires sweeping Los Angeles. Pratt’s home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire in 2025. A distinctive feature of Pratt’s campaign was the widespread use of artificial intelligence-generated videos created by supporters. One of the most ... Continue Reading »

"Dramatically Less Accessible To The Average Fan": Knicks Finals Tickets At MSG Sell From $3K To $280K For the first time since 1999, the New York Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals. For fans, it's a dream decades in the making. For anyone hoping to attend a game at Madison Square Garden, however, that dream comes with a staggering price tag in the thousands of dollars.  The 2026 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs have produced some of the most expensive basketball tickets ever recorded. Secondary-market prices have surged to levels that rival — and in some cases exceed — major championship events such as the Super Bowl. The cheapest tickets available for Knicks home games in the Finals have generally been listed between $3,600 and $4,100. Reports from TickPick, SeatGeek, and other ticket marketplaces showed get-in prices exceeding $3,800 for some Madison Square Garden games, while average ticket prices in New York have hovered around $6,000. Even compared with the already-expensive games in San Antonio, Madison Square Garden stands in a category of its own. While some Spurs home games have had entry prices ... Continue Reading »

Commodity Markets Are Living On Borrowed Time Authored by Helen Thomas via City AM, Governments and industry have softened the impact of energy and commodity supply disruptions by releasing reserves, reducing inventories, and increasing operational flexibility. These measures are temporary, and continued inventory drawdowns are pushing oil and metal markets toward historically tight conditions. Once inventories become critically low, higher prices may become the primary mechanism for balancing supply and demand, leading to weaker economic growth and lower consumption. Commodity markets have spent the past three months performing an extraordinary balancing act. Despite one of the most significant disruptions to global energy flows in decades, the global economy has continued to function remarkably smoothly. After an initial spike, prices for several key commodities have stabilised or even eased. Yet this apparent calm is deceptive. The reason the system has held together is due to governments, producers and consumers drawing down the buffers that normally protect the global economy from disruption. Those buffers are now approaching dangerous limits. Inventories are being depleted at a remarkable pace. Global oil stockpiles have fallen to levels that senior industry executives describe as unprecedented. Aluminium markets are facing a similar ... Continue Reading »

Reactor Developers Advance Sweden's Nuclear Ambitions While State Puts Up $3.7 Billion Sweden advanced its nuclear revival with two major filings for new capacity and a government proposal to commit up to $3.7 billion in state capital for SMR projects. On May 18th, Blykalla submitted the first application for an advanced reactor park under Sweden’s new siting process. The Norrsundet site would host six 55-MWe SEALER lead-cooled reactors, for 330 MWe total.  CEO Jacob Stedman called it a historic first for Sweden, and linked the technology to meeting AI and electrification demand with reliable baseload power. Blykalla has a prototype facility underway at Oskarshamn with Uniper and partnerships with Oklo and ABB. Studsvik filed in May for 600-1400 MWe of SMR capacity at its Nyköping site. This follows the Studsvik group’s earlier March application for Valdemarsvik. CEO Karl Thedéen highlighted the site’s decades of expertise and the intention to deliver real grid capacity in the 2030s as part of the company’s ReFirm program. The government also recently proposed to acquire a 60% stake in Videberg Kraft AB, the Vattenfall-led project company for up to 1500 MWe at Ringhals. Vattenfall is the state-owned utility ...

Welsh Police Officers Ordered To Log Anti-Islam Comments In Chilling Free Speech Crackdown Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, Britain's free speech traditions face fresh erosion as South Wales Police directs officers to record conversations and comments about Islam that stray beyond what the force deems "legitimate" discussion. The policy, exposed in recent social media posts, risks logging lawful criticism as hostility incidents that could surface in future employment checks. This move builds directly on the Labour government's March definition of "anti-Muslim hostility" and exposes how public bodies are "gold-plating" safeguards meant to protect open debate. Police force orders officers to keep record of Britons' anti-Islam commentshttps://t.co/kQIa0v3VGz - GB News (@GBNEWS) June 2, 2026 South Wales Police has told staff to log anything exceeding its view of 'acceptable' talk on Islam. The Free Speech Union immediately challenged the guidance, warning it hands officers unchecked power to decide acceptable speech and creates a chilling effect on expression. The FSU post laid it out plainly, noting "South Wales Police are zealously enforcing their own definition of Islamophobia in a way that threatens free speech." ?

Opposite Of Drawdown: US Mulls Expanding Nuclear Weapons Deployments In Europe The White House has been talking about reducing America's military presence across the European continent, amid long-running Trump complaints over lack of NATO burden-sharing. There are even plans to draw down 5,000 US troops from Germany on a permanent basis (though for now it appears thousands are just being moved to Poland). Such a military 'reduction' would be welcomed by Moscow, however, as is usual when Washington signals de-escalation in force posture, the result ends up being the opposite. Washington is reportedly preparing to scatter more nuclear tripwires across the European continent, all while claiming a draw down of forces and footprint. DoD file image According to a Financial Times report published Tuesday, the US is actively discussing whether to deploy nuclear weapons in more NATO states. Citing three people briefed on the internal discussions, American officials have signaled distinct openness to additional deployments well beyond the six nations that currently host the Pentagon's nuclear-capable bombers. Under NATO’s legacy nuclear sharing program, only six allies including Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, and the United Kingdom - are approved to host US supplied ...

White Girls Raped By Dogs, Whisky Bottles, & 100s Of Men: Britain's Migrant Grooming-Gang Scandal Exposed Via Remix News, Restore Britain leader Rupert Lowe used a Westminster Hall debate on Monday to confront MPs with harrowing testimony from White girls and women who were raped, tortured, trafficked, and degraded by migrant grooming gangs, and abandoned by the very authorities that should have protected them. The debate was secured after 260,974 Brits signed a petition calling for Parliament to address the rape gang scandal. Lowe opened by thanking the signatories and welcoming survivors who were sitting in the hall, saying the debate was not about politics, but about them. “I want the world to hear what we heard during the two weeks of our independent rape gang inquiry hearings, an inquiry that should never have needed to happen,” Lowe said. He then read out a series of graphic testimonies that exposed the scale of the abuse suffered by almost exclusively White girls. One survivor said she was only “about 12, nearly 13” when a man raped her before forcing an empty Jack Daniel’s bottle inside her and breaking the glass. Another described being held down ...

US Warns Ally Oman That It Better Pick The 'Right' Side In Hormuz Standoff The saga of rare Washington pressure on its longtime regional ally Oman continues, with on Tuesday The Wall Street Journal reporting that US officials are growing "increasingly frustrated" with Muscat's neutral stance, which they now view as hostile to US interests. Oman has stood accused of cooperating with Iran on a proposed toll collection scheme which would benefit Tehran and circumvent America's aims for the region. Via container-news "In recent days, the Trump administration has threatened to sanction and even bomb Oman, after a new intelligence assessment concluded that Muscat was planning to join Iran in tolling vessels in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, according to another U.S. official," WSJ writes. "Oman has repeatedly denied that it plans to do so." Interestingly, Oman actually provided some level of military assistance to the US even as it launched an unprovoked attack on the Islamic Republic alongside Israel. "Omani territory was used to provide some logistical supplies to the U.S. military at the start of the war, say Arab and U.S. officials," notes the report. "But the U.S. official said the military assistance was small." During ... Continue Reading »

Russia Weighs $50 Million Plan To Influence Armenia's Election Via Eurasianet, Reuters reported that Russian officials discussed influence operations aimed at weakening Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan ahead of Armenia’s June 7 parliamentary election. One alleged proposal involved temporarily bringing Armenian passport holders living in Russia back to Armenia to vote for opposition candidates. Despite the reported efforts, polling suggests Pashinyan’s Civil Contract Party remains the clear frontrunner as Armenia debates its future relationship with Russia and the West. Russia has mulled an extraordinary measure of exporting humans to Armenia in an effort to undermine Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s chances of retaining power in the fast-approaching parliamentary elections on June 7, according to an investigative report published by the Reuters news agency.  Despite the Kremlin’s best efforts to manipulate the election’s outcome, recent polling data shows that Pashinyan’s Civil Contract Party is pulling away from a collection of opposition forces and appears increasingly likely to have a majority in the next parliament. According to Reuters, citing four sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, the Kremlin set up an agency in October called the Directorate for Strategic Cooperation and Partnership to run a wide array of influence operations in ...

Barbarian Mindset: How Leftists And Third-World Invaders Think Alike Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us The fall of the Roman Empire is often presented as symbolic of the slow but steady decline of the western world today, and it’s true, this comparison might be more accurate than many people realize. The disastrous collapse which escalated over the course of the 5th century was driven by economic crisis, a split of the empire into eastern and western halves, government reliance on foreign mercenaries for security, uncontrolled mass immigration, and ultimately, barbarian invasion. When the western empire failed, Rome was plundered and centuries of human innovation and progress were lost in the flames. It’s an element that modern historians often gloss over – Each time the west has fallen, incredible knowledge that took generations to discover was dispersed into the ether. Each time, the human species was set back for centuries. Many lives were sacrificed and ancient cities were destroyed, but the loss of time is perhaps the greatest tragedy of all. It took another 400 years for the western world to reconstitute under Christian rule, but barbarians attacked again in the form of ... Continue Reading »
