Mark Zuckerberg is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in history. The creator of Facebook and owner of Meta (the company that also includes the social network Instagram) has managed to establish himself as one of the wealthiest men of our time, which is why he indulges in luxuries that most mortals can only dream of.

To celebrate his 40th birthday, the American has decided to give himself a luxury yacht called “Launchpad”, which is valued at 300 million euros. With this vessel, Zuckerberg plans to sail around much of the world while enjoying extreme comfort and glamour within reach of a few.

A 58-year-old Canadian man stole trade secrets from Tesla and tried to sell them on YouTube, authorities say– fortune.com

A Canadian national who lives in China pleaded guilty on Thursday to conspiring to sell secrets he stole from Tesla to market battery assembly technology vital to electric vehicles, authorities say. He was caught in a sting operation after undercover agents posed as Long Island businesspeople looking to buy an assembly line at a trade show in Las Vegas.

Klaus Pflugbeil, 58, is now facing a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and he’ll be sentenced in October. His co-defendant, Yilong Shao, is still at large. Prosecutors said Pflugbeil and Shao were employees of a Canada-based manufacturing company that made and sold battery assembly lines for clients that needed alkaline and lithium-ion batteries. The Canada manufacturing firm was purchased by a company—identified in reports as Tesla—which gave the Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker a leg up in continuous motion battery manufacturing.

“Despite Pflugbeil’s agreement to protect what he knew was proprietary, sensitive technology, he chose to abscond with these trade secrets to China, where he sought an unfair and illegal advantage in critical industries such as electric vehicle manufacturing,” assistant attorney general Matthew Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division said in a statement. The conduct jeopardized national security, said Olsen.

A Quarter of All Americans Still Believe The Biggest Vaccine Lie : ScienceAlert– www.sciencealert.com

Head to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, and it’s written in bold text: vaccines do not cause autism.

Even so, an incredible 24 percent of US adults think the opposite when it comes to the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Another 3 percent aren’t sure.

The stats are based on a survey of 1,522 people carried out by the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) at the University of Pennsylvania last April, fuelling concerns that the false beliefs will lead to fewer vaccinations and put a far greater percentage of the population at risk of preventable diseases.

More than a quarter of a century has passed since the former physician Andew Wakefield famously published a fraudulent study linking autism spectrum disorder with MMR vaccines. Though the paper has since been retracted, the APPC team suggests the echoes of the ensuing debate continue to sow concern and confusion.

DETROIT (AP) — Just before 2 a.m. on a chilly April night in Seattle, a Chevrolet Silverado pickup stopped at an electric vehicle charging station on the edge of a shopping center parking lot.

Two men, one with a light strapped to his head, got out. A security camera recorded them pulling out bolt cutters. One man snipped several charging cables; the other loaded them into the truck. In under 2½ minutes, they were gone.

The scene that night has become part of a troubling pattern across the country: Thieves have been targeting EV charging stations, intent on stealing the cables, which contain copper wiring. The price of copper is near a record high on global markets, which means criminals stand to collect rising sums of cash from selling the material.

New French Election Kills Proposal to Legalize Euthanasia– www.lifenews.com

The European Parliament held their elections from June 6 to June 9, 2024 resulting in a shift in the balance of power. It appears that the European Parliament will likely have more of a  conservative focus over the next few years.

In response to the European election results and the shift in european politics, French President, Emmanuel Macron, on June 10 called a snap election with his hope of catching conservative political parties off-guard. The election will be on June 29 – 30 and the second tier on July 6 – 7.

For those who oppose euthanasia, France’s euthanasia proposal has technically died with the snap election. After the election the euthanasia proposal will need to be re-introduced. If Macron loses support, it is unlikely that the euthanasia proposal will immediately return.

A similar situation exists in the UK where Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called a snap election for July 4. The difference is that Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, is leading in the polls and Starmer has promised that if elected his party would legalize assisted suicide.

Indiana Sees Incredible 98% Drop in Abortions Thanks to Abortion Ban– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt from www.lifenews.com

The Indiana Department of Health’s recent report revealed a 98% decrease in abortions in the state of Indiana. The report detailed 45 abortions during the first 2024 quarter, a tremendous reform compared to the 1,931 abortions committed in the first quarter of 2023. This means 1,886 babies are alive in Indiana who may not have been at this time last year.

These are encouraging numbers. But Indiana’s abortion industry is actively threatening the laws that made this victory possible. The same day the Indiana Department of Health released its report, Planned Parenthood argued in court to challenge Indiana’s Pro-Life laws.

GOP Senators Press IRS To Revoke Tax-Exempt Status of ‘Palestine Chronicle’ Nonprofit Tied to Hamas Hostage Taker– freebeacon.com

A coalition of senators on Wednesday petitioned the IRS and other federal law enforcement agencies to launch an investigation into the Palestine Chronicle, alleging the nonprofit outlet violated its tax-exempt status by routinely publishing a Hamas hostage taker, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Led by Sen. Ted Budd (R., N.C.), the six senators say the little-known outlet violated American anti-terrorism laws by employing Abdallah Aljamal, a Gazan journalist who was killed over the weekend when Israeli forces discovered several of their hostages in his family’s home. Israeli military officials confirmed to the Free Beacon earlier this week that Aljamal was actually a Hamas affiliate, and reports show that he was writing for the Palestine Chronicle during the time he imprisoned Israeli civilians.

CHARLESTON — Following the death of 14-year-old Kyneddi Miller, the governor and state lawmakers are pushing to bolster homeschool requirements in an effort to prevent future child deaths.

Kyneddi, who was found in a “skeletal state” in April, was homeschooled beginning in 2021. Her family lived in Boone County.

On Friday, Gov. Jim Justice said that he may call a special session that would focus on the issue.

“We’re in discussion with the legislature,” he said during a news conference. “The homeschooling issue — we probably need to find a way to tighten it. That’s an area we can [for] sure probably make things a little better.”

BOMBSHELL: Just Leaked Documents Reveal Joe Biden’s Executive Order on Asylum Seekers Is a Total Scam– conservativeroof.com

Joe Biden’s new executive order for asylum seekers is a total scam!

Last Tuesday, Joe Biden held a press conference from the East Room to discuss his new asylum “restrictions” and border security measures.

More than 15 million illegal aliens, primarily males of military age, have entered the US during Biden’s administration.

In his first 100 days in office, Joe Biden issued 94 executive actions impacting border policies.

Now, he is presenting himself as a savior with his new “asylum restrictions,” yet thousands of illegal aliens are still granted asylum and released into the US every day.

The New York Post reports that despite Biden’s touted border “crackdown,” approximately 1.8 million illegals will still be able to enter the US annually.

Jill Biden Costs Taxpayers $345K to Fly to Hunter’s Trial – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt from pjmedia.com

“Dr.” Jill Biden expended at least $345,000 of taxpayers’ hard-earned money so she could fly back and forth between France and the U.S. for the D-Day commemoration and Hunter’s trial. Allegedly the Democratic National Committee (DNC) will be providing at least partial reimbursement for the pricey travels. It seems particularly depressing that, only 80 years after the D-Day invasion of WWII, when some of the men who stormed the beaches of Normandy are still alive, the wife of the U.S. president is squandering Americans’ cash on flights in connection with the shameful deeds of the president’s family. Between Joe possibly soiling his pants on stage and Jill’s jet trips, America sure is looking pathetic on the world stage.

The Western Journal summed up the relevant facts:

Hunter Biden’s trial over his allegedly illegal purchase of a gun was going on in Delaware at the same time as the D-Day memorial services in France, and “Doctor” Jill wanted to split her time attending both… Jill Biden is billing the U.S. government for the $345,400 in flights, the National Taxpayers Union Foundation estimated, according to the newspaper.

Excerpt from www.washingtonexaminer.com

A Republican group is running ads in seven deep-red states and five swing states calling for the Supreme Court to reject former President Donald Trump’s claims of absolute immunity.

Republicans for the Rule of Law, a partisan group that is focused on the Constitution rather than loyalty to a party, is spending $2 million in Republican-leaning states and swing states to run anti-Trump ads. The ad will feature conservatives requesting the Supreme Court to reject Trump’s immunity claims.

“Our constitutional system is predicated on legal accountability and equal justice under the law, even for presidents and past presidents,” said Sarah Longwell, the executive director of Republicans for the Rule of Law. “Conservatives feel this in our bones: No man or woman is above the law. In this case, that means rejecting the ‘absolute immunity’ claim.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s, D-Calif., proposal to restrict gun rights through a 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution has failed to gain national traction since it was unveiled one year ago.

Despite the Democratic governor’s enthusiasm in 2023, exactly zero states have agreed to his call for the constitutional convention necessary to amend the U.S. Constitution.

Newsom claimed Sunday that this lack of progress was expected and the amendment could take decades to gain momentum.

Anil Kumar, a Democrat and member of the Wayne State Board of Governors, had his appeal rejected over the Michigan Board of State Canvassers disqualifying him from appealing as a congressional candidate on the August primary ballot.

In a decision released Tuesday morning, the Michigan Court of Appeals nixed Kumar’s motion to overturn the May 31 decision by state canvassers that he did not submit enough valid signatures to make the ballot for the Democratic nomination to the 10th Congressional District.

“At root, plaintiff’s request for mandamus is founded on his factual contention that the Board discounted elector signatures that should instead have been deemed valid,” stated the order. “But in its answer, defendant Board explicitly disputes plaintiff’s factual allegations in that regard and offers contrary evidence. Given the existence of such material factual disputes, we conclude that it would be inappropriate to grant plaintiff any of his requested relief here.”

“This virus, like all viruses, is mutating,”’ he told the policymakers. ‘We need to continue to prepare for the possibility that it might jump to humans.”

“[The] real worry is that it will jump to the human lungs where, when that has happened in other parts of the world… the mortality rate has been 25 percent.”

Dr Califf, who was speaking to the Agriculture Committee, added: “We gotta have testing, gotta have anti-virals and we need to have a vaccine ready to go.” [Emphasis added]

Israeli shelling and airstrikes killed at least 37 people, most of them sheltering in tents, outside the southern Gaza city of Rafah overnight on Tuesday. The attacks targeted the same area where strikes triggered a deadly fire days earlier in a camp for displaced Palestinians, according to witnesses, emergency workers and hospital officials.

The fire at the tent camp has drawn widespread international outrage, including from some of Israel’s closest allies.

The Israeli military suggested Sunday’s blaze in the tent camp may have been caused by secondary explosions, possibly from Palestinian militants’ weapons. The results of Israel’s initial probe into the fire were issued on Tuesday. Military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the cause of the fire was still under investigation but that the Israeli munitions used were too small to be the source.

Japan’s Self-Defense Forces scrambled F-15 fighter aircraft on Monday to intercept a Chinese Air Force drone making its first appearance near the country’s southwestern islands, its Defense Ministry said.

The Joint Staff Office in Tokyo said Japanese Air Force jets were launched to head off a possible airspace violation by a Wing Loong-10 unmanned aerial vehicle, which had entered Japan‘s air defense identification zone but not its territorial airspace.

A Newsweek map, created using the Joint Staff’s geospatial data, shows the flight path of the military drone, which Japan identified as a reconnaissance and attack aircraft, during a sortie in the East China Sea.

Tokyo said the WL-10 approached from China’s east coast and circled the waters at least twice before returning to the Asian continent.

The tent camp inferno has drawn widespread international outrage, including from some of Israel’s closest allies, over the military’s expanding offensive into Rafah. And in a sign of Israel’s growing isolation on the world stage, Spain, Norway and Ireland formally recognized a Palestinian state on Tuesday.

Excerpt from timesofindia.indiatimes.com

DEIR AL-BALAH: The tent camps stretch more than 16 kilometers (10 miles) along Gaza’s coast, filling the beach and sprawling into empty lots, fields and streets. Families dig trenches to use as toilets. Fathers search for food and water. Children dig through garbage and wrecked buildings for wood or cardboard for their mothers to burn for cooking.
Over the past three weeks, Israel’s offensive in Rafah has sent nearly a million Palestinians fleeing the southern Gaza city.Most have already been displaced multiple times during Israel’s nearly 8-month-old war in Gaza, which is aimed at destroying Hamas but has devastated the territory and caused what the United Nations says is a near-famine.
The situation has been worsened by a plunge in the amount of food, fuel and other supplies reaching the UN and other aid groups to distribute to the population. Palestinians, who relied in part on humanitarian aid even before the war, have largely been on their own to find the basics for survival.

US tweaks its strategy to contain China: Squad now completes the trident with Quad and AUKUS | Opinion Analysis News– www.news9live.com

Excerpt from www.news9live.com

Bengaluru: The formation of a US-led new security alliance in Asia – known as Squad to counter the hegemonistic aims of China has raised questions whether the old grouping of Quad that included India has been reshuffled to include Philippines in place of India. Such speculation may not be based on facts. India, despite its independent foreign policy which expressly forbids joining any security alliance, is important to the US and its Asian allies. India’s sheer size, its population which is the largest in the world, its economic clout as the fifth largest economy and its positioning as the southern neighbour of China sharing a 4,000-km border across the Himalayas, makes it critical for any strategy seeking to check China’s expansionist and aggressive ambitions.

India has always been reluctant to security alliances, not because of its diffidence in its military capabilities, but it fears that being drawn into one grouping or the other curtails its freedom of choice and its decision-making capability regarding its enlightened national interest, and that it could be drawn into conflicts that are not of its making, nor in its interest. During the Cold War, India refused to be drawn into either of the two blocs led by the US and the Soviet Union, even earning US dislike for its non-aligned policy.
