SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol and his former defense minister were sentenced to 30 years in prison Friday in a case alleging Yoon ordered drone flights over Pyongyang in 2024 to heighten tensions with North Korea and justify declaring martial law at home.
The full version of the Seoul Central District Court’s ruling was not immediately available. The same court earlier sentenced Yoon to life in prison for a rebellion conviction over his short-lived imposition of martial law in December 2024.
North Korea accused Seoul of flying drones over Pyongyang to drop propaganda leaflets three times in October 2024. South Korea’s defense minister at the time, Kim Yong Hyun, issued a vague denial before the Defense Ministry said it could neither confirm nor deny the allegations. Tensions rose sharply but did not lead to any military clashes.

One of Canada’s top constitutional freedom groups warned that a proposed social media ban for children under age 16 could create a host of “privacy-violating” rules leading to a nationwide-mandated digital ID.
Reacting to news of a social media ban proposed by the Liberal government, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) warned in an X post that the ban could lead to overreaching digital ID laws, noting that parents should be in charge of their children’s online use.
“The Justice Centre opposes government internet surveillance and the displacement of parents as the primary decision-makers responsible for protecting young people from online harms,” it said in its X statement.

It was unclear how the markings in the grass were made. In some areas, the grass turned brown to form the shape of numbers in contrast to the surrounding green.
The US Park Police said the cause of the “discolouration” has not yet been determined. A spokesperson said grass samples have been collected for testing and an investigation is ongoing.
The White House referred questions about the incident to the Department of the Interior. The incident comes as the National Mall is set to be the scene for events celebrating the 250th anniversary of US independence in the coming weeks.

A federal appeals court has approved of President Trump’s backup tariff plan — at least, for now.
On Thursday, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit extended a block on a lower court ruling striking down the tariffs.
This means that President Trump can keep collecting 10% global tariffs under Section 122 temporarily as the further litigation continues.
Here are the details:

Russia will restrict imports of most food, seeds, flowers, wood and fertilizer from Armenia starting on Friday, less than a week after Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil Contract party secured a parliamentary majority in elections seen as a test of Yerevan’s pivot toward the West.
The federal agricultural safety agency Rosselkhoznadzor said the sweeping ban was issued in response to the “systematic detection” of pests in products imported from Armenia since May. It claimed that, in June alone, three separate cases of khapra beetle infestations were discovered in dried food shipments.
“The ban will remain in effect until a specific framework is developed to ensure the safety and traceability of shipped goods,” the agency said in a statement on Thursday, adding to an already long list of Armenian goods recently banned for import to Russia, including produce, flowers, mineral water and alcoholic products.

Wall Street’s major indexes ended sharply higher on Thursday, with stocks extending gains after U.S. President Donald Trump said he canceled planned strikes against Iran, and on the eve of the market debut of Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
Hours before the expected strikes, Trump said on Truth Social that negotiations with Tehran had advanced to the highest levels of Iran’s leadership and had been okayed by a broad coalition of regional powers.
Oil prices dropped sharply, while stocks added to their rebound from the prior session’s selloff. On Wednesday, major Wall Street indexes fell more than 1% and the S&P 500 Technology Index confirmed a correction.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced Thursday that the Trump administration has located 146,000 unaccompanied migrant children who were trafficked into the United States during the Biden administration and subsequently lost.
During a news conference at the Department of Justice with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and other Trump administration officials, Mullin credited a joint effort between DHS, ICE and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for finding the missing children, which he said President Trump has made a high priority.
Unfortunately, nearly 300,000 minors remain unaccounted for, according to Mullin, although officials continue to search for them.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump just took a pivotal step toward removing government-endorsed discrimination from America’s legal system and undermining the institutional apparatus of critical race theory.
Critical race theory teaches that America is systemically racist and that even racially neutral policies are truly racist if they result in better outcomes for members of one race than for members of another. That’s the exact same logic as the legal theory known as “disparate impact.”
Cornell Law School defines disparate impact as a policy or rule “that seems neutral but has a negative impact on a specific protected class of persons.”

Sens. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and Ed Markey (Mass.) are just the latest high-profile Democrats to throw their support behind scandal-plagued Senate candidate Graham Platner.
The progressive oyster farmer from Maine won the Democratic nomination Tuesday night, a result that was widely expected after Gov. Janet Mills (D) suspended her campaign in April. Despite Mills still appearing on the ballot, Platner managed to secure 72% of the vote share, setting up a general election against five-term incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R).
‘In November, Maine voters will elect Graham Platner, and we will win a Senate majority.’

The New York Post reported that the group maintains all three districts let students change the names and genders they use at school without parental involvement or notification, plus lets male students who “identify” as girls participate in female-specific athletics and use female lockers and restrooms.

Most people with at least half a brain understand that what Karmelo Anthony did is legally defined as murder. This has nothing to do with the color of his skin. It should also not be controversial to throw convicted murderers in prison. But because this man had a certain skin color, many people with low IQs have a problem with this. And one of those low-IQ losers appears to be allegedly on the hunt for people who were on the jury that convicted the murderer.

Russian Telegram channel 112 reported that the explosive device had been planted under the driver’s seat and detonated remotely.
The device reportedly had a yield equivalent to 300 to 400 grams of TNT.

After a Sudanese national apparently attempted to brutally behead a man in Belfast, Ireland, The New York Times on June 10 claimed the real concern was “anti-immigrant sentiment,” not how the U.K.’s open border policies enabled the attack.
Video from the attack, which went viral on social media, shows the migrant attacking a native U.K. citizen named Steven Ogilvy in an apparent attempted beheading. The New York Times (NYT) article does not describe the attack until four paragraphs in, and does not use the word “beheading” once. The article also buries information about the suspect, including the fact that he was a Sudanese who may have fraudulently claimed refugee status, in the eleventh paragraph.

Since he came down the escalator 11 years ago, Donald Trump’s personal conduct made him uniquely unfit for office and Americans had a moral obligation to oppose him, so said Democrats. Character mattered in politics, they told us.
But on Tuesday, nearly 150,000 Mainers sent a different message. Democrats handed Graham Platner a landslide primary victory, a decisive win for the man who had a Nazi tattoo. And to be clear, Platner wasn’t the only candidate on the ballot. Incumbent Gov. Janet Mills and former Democrat Senate nominee in 2024 David Costello were on the ballot as well. And yet it was a landslide victory for Platner.
Platner spent 18 years bearing a Nazi tattoo and only had it removed when it became ever so slightly (emphasis on slightly) politically inconvenient. He also said women worried about rape should not “get blacked out, f*cked up around people” they aren’t “comfortable” with. He also allegedly said that if someone ever broke into his home, he would “rape them … [but] not in a sexual way, not in a gay way.”

These people are “too gay to function.”
