LONDON — When Queen Elizabeth II’s seven-decade-long reign ended with her death at 96 last September, her son, Charles, immediately became King.
On Saturday, however, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, will be formally crowned at Westminster Abbey.
He’ll be the 40th monarch to be crowned at the abbey in a line that stretches back 900 years to William the Conqueror’s coronation on Christmas Day 1066.

Kan reports that senior officials in the coalition estimate that the judicial reform will no longer be promoted by the Prime Minister. According to the officials, what was decisive for Netanyahu was the political pressure from the White House, including his lack of invitation to Washington.

A federal jury on Thursday found four members of the Proud Boys guilty of seditious conspiracy and other charges in the Justice Department’s most high-profile trial related to the events of January 6, 2021.
After six days of deliberation, jurors convicted Enrique Tarrio, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, and Zachary Rehl of seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. The jury deadlocked on those two counts for a fifth defendant, Dominic Pezzola. All five were found guilty of obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging any duties, obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder, and one count of destruction of government property.

The headlines speak for themselves. Two years ago, a writer in Foreign Policy lamented that the U.S. has tried and failed to “get Israel to break up with China.” A year later, it was the editor of the Jerusalem Post who argued that Israel “has to choose” between Washington and Beijing, while the Washington Post noted that Israel’s failure to do so was “testing its relationship with the U.S.”
The Bureau of Land Management was formed out of the General Land Office, which sold and distributed public land to settlers, and the Grazing Service, which settled the range wars on the side of the farmers. Its mission under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) is “the management of the public lands and their various resource values so that they are utilized in the combination that will best meet the present and future needs of the American people”.

Please re-read every word of the next four paragraphs and know that NOT ONE WORD of them is true! In the 1950s—and for centuries before and decades after—girls knew they were girls; boys knew they were boys and that was that.
Growing up in the 1950s, I remember distinctly that all of my high school classmates were obsessed with figuring out who they really were, males or females. Every conversation, the special clubs we formed to talk about this issue, the heated arguments we had with our parents who didn’t “get” that the children they thought were boys or girls were not at all what those dinosaurs imagined sex and gender to be, and the total lack of understanding we got from the powers-that-be, including teachers, counselors, coaches, doctors. It was truly a horrible time to be a girl or boy.

As of May 5, Russia is still in control of 95% of Bakhmut.
Prigozhin spreads misinformation to induce Ukraine to continue to shift troops to Bakhmut. Yes, he will withdraw from Bakhmut but he will be replaced by Russian troops.

Leftist corporate media is so busy throwing a temper tantrum over Kari Lake’s book and her intense rise in popularity that they may have missed that Lake’s claims of election fraud are getting the go-ahead to be scrutinized and investigated.
“In what can only be described as a perfect meeting of like minds, Winning Team Publishing, the self-described “nation’s premier conservative publishing house” that was co-founded by Donald Trump Jr., will publish the book, which sells for $29.99. The book ships on June 27, according to the company’s website,”

There is no doubt now that Bakhmut will soon fall to the Russians. How soon? Probably a few days and no more than one week.
Ukraine says it has managed to evacuate its elite forces from the city, leaving only rearguard elements to hang on until the end. Efforts by Ukraine to provide counterattacks have not borne fruit, and all efforts have been stopped by Russian paratroopers and Wagner PMC fighters, along with generous amounts of Russian artillery.
T. Belman. I made the same argument in this article
Without 30 years of provocative, to the Russian mind threatening, behavior by the United States, the Ukraine war does not happen.
John Mearsheimer has pointed out that for well over 20 years, from the Soviet collapse in 1991 until the 2014 US supported, anti-democratic, violent coup in Kiev against a pro-Russian Ukrainian president, no one of any importance, absolutely no one, viewed Russia as a military threat to its neighbors or to Europe generally, or believed that Russia harbored revanchist impulses. Neither its behavior during this period nor its top officials’ statements suggested Russia had any designs of dominating its near abroad, let alone conquering it, much less conquering anyone else.

WASHINGTON—China’s communist rulership believes that it must undermine and displace the United States in order to thrive, according to the nation’s top intelligence official.
The regime is actively working to expand its authoritarian model of governance across the globe and to supplant U.S. interests in Asia specifically, said Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines.
“[China] is increasingly challenging the United States economically, technologically, politically, militarily, and from an intelligence standpoint around the world,” Haines said during a May 4 hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Bill Clinton: “In 2011, I realized that Putin’s attack on Ukraine is only a matter of time”
Former US President Bill Clinton:
“Vladimir Putin did not want to recognize the 1994 international agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine in exchange for its renunciation of nuclear weapons.” This was told by former US President Bill Clinton, who, together with Boris Yeltsin, participated in the preparation and signing of the Budapest Memorandum.

Aben Amaala just tweeted:
Yes, there are new parliamentary elections, and more than that, a constitutional monarchy, in which King Abdullah II relinquishes the institution of the throne to his son, to be King Hussein II. And a population federation with the West Bank, and this project will be a file for great change, and it will be called the New Jordan.
Now this issue is being discussed with the capitals of decision-making. Accordingly, the Palestinian issue will be resolved, and accordingly, Saudi Arabia will normalize with Israel. Regarding the new constitutional monarchy in Jordan, the prime minister will be of Palestinian origin and from the West Bank. This project will start after the marriage of Prince Hussein at the beginning of next June. This project is presented confidentially and at a high level. All things are subject to change in all directions.

Recently, I met one of Israel’s leading brain surgeons — a doctor who has dedicated his life to saving others. He, his father, and his children all contribute significantly to the State of Israel. He told me that he feels depressed, hopeless, and full of rage toward the community to which I belong: Israel’s ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) community. He feels that his country and the Zionist dream are being trampled. He was overwhelmed with pain.
We sat together and talked, and experienced a transformation, understanding each other, and hugging at the end of our conversation.

When word broke Tuesday that Khader Adnan—a senior terrorist and serial hunger striker from Iranian-controlled Islamic Jihad—had died in an Israeli prison after 83 days of refusing food, Hamas began shelling Israeli towns and villages in the western Negev. As Islamic Jihad’s premier propagandist, Adnan was reportedly the most prominent Islamic Jihad terrorist in Jenin, where the group reigns supreme.
Between Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning, Islamic Jihad and Hamas rocket teams pummeled Israel with more than a hundred rockets and mortars. Israelis in communities around Gaza spent the night in their bomb shelters.

Knesset Member Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the United Torah Judaism Party, heads to the podium at the Knesset, Dec. 29, 2022.
Yitzhak Goldknopf, leader of the United Torah Judaism Party (UTJ), said that “if the new recruitment plan isn’t settled, the government will fall apart,” speaking of a haredi conscription law the ultra-Orthodox parties are insisting upon.
Speaking to Mishpacha, a haredi magazine, which ran the quote as a headline, the ultra-Orthodox political leader, who is also Israel’s minister of construction and housing, said: “The Prime Minister received an unequivocal message from me according to which there is an order from the Council of Torah Sages that if the conscription law is not passed before the budget [which is due by May 29], we will withdraw from the government. As long as there is no other [council] directive, this is what will be done.”
