Ukraine hit a major Moscow oil refinery for a second time in a week and disrupted commercial flights at the city’s airports in one of its biggest drone attacks since Russia’s all-out invasion of its neighbor more than four years ago, Russian officials said Thursday.

The attack came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had held “an important coordination call” with the presidents of the United States and France, and had won key pledges of further support from the G7 summit this week.

Zelenskyy was expected in Brussels later Thursday for talks with NATO and European Union leaders, including discussions about the possible building of a continental system to protect against ballistic missiles. Russia has relentlessly struck Ukraine with those types of missiles, which air defenses struggle to counter.

Congress often appears to function via the mantra of “one step forward, four steps back.” Even when policymakers take action — as in recent steps to fight fraud in government programs — they continue to ignore bigger issues with entitlement spending.

The annual release of the Medicare trustees’ report illustrates the problem. This year’s report showed that, by the end of last year at least, the administration’s anti-fraud efforts had not delayed the program’s (technical) insolvency date. Meanwhile, another year passed without lawmakers acting to fix a program that has been functionally insolvent for years.

As of now, democratic socialist Janeese Lewis George has a commanding lead in the Democrat Party’s primary for mayor of the nation’s capital, which occurred on June 16.

Lewis George, the first and only democratic socialist member on the DC City Council since the late 1990s, says her “people-first platform” will “improve the lives of the people in D.C. …by strategically and effectively utilizing all that the government can offer and do.”

Specifically, she wants the government to provide “childcare for all,” “affordable utilities for all,” “arts and culture for all,” “reliable transportation for all,” “good jobs for all,” and “homes for all.”

The PM also revealed that livestreaming will be prohibited, while restrictions will be enabled by default for 17-year-olds.

The UK was one of several countries examining potential under-16 social media bans, following the lead of nations such as Australia.

On Monday, Starmer announced a full, rather than partial, ban as he is not “prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children.”

“Social media is making children unhappy, it’s making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them, and it could even be harming their mental health,” the Prime Minister added.

The ban also includes restrictions on online products such as gaming apps, including removing the option to message with strangers.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s jobs may be at stake if they continue to oppose President Donald Trump’s Iran deal, a senior White House official warned.

The threat emerged in a report published Sunday by the right-leaning Israeli daily Israel Hayom, which detailed a bitter internal White House battle over the emerging memorandum of understanding with Tehran.

“The debate has been settled. Those who oppose it may pay a personal price,” a senior US official told the outlet.

According to the report, Vice President JD Vance, envoy Steve Witkoff, and Trump envoy Jared Kushner have driven the push for a deal, arguing the Iranian regime is unlikely to collapse soon and that Gulf states — particularly Qatar — have pressed hard for an agreement.

Rubio and Hegseth argued the opposite: that Iran is buckling under economic pressure and Washington should tighten the screws, not ease them. The two men had been the public faces of that harder line — touting “Project Freedom,” a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, only for Trump to shelve it hours after they publicly praised it.

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Restore National Park Displays Removed Under DEI Review › American Greatness– amgreatness.com

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore displays and interpretive materials removed from National Park sites as part of an effort to eliminate controversial diversity, equity and inclusion-related content.

US District Judge Angel Kelley ruled Friday that the administration must reinstall exhibits and displays that were removed following an executive order issued by President Donald Trump last year. The order directed federal agencies to eliminate content deemed to inappropriately disparage Americans and to remove divisive interpretations of U.S. history.

The lawsuit was brought by a coalition of park advocacy organizations that accused the Interior Department and National Park Service of attempting to “erase history and undermine science” by removing exhibits from parks across the country.

In a 63-page decision, Kelley concluded that the administration’s actions amounted to censorship and threatened the credibility of the National Park System.

“The Government’s stewardship of these park sites thus carries a responsibility to present history in full rather than in favored fragments. Unfortunately, the Government has disregarded these principles,” Kelley wrote.

 

Players Receive MLB Warning After Adding Bible Verses To Their ‘Pride’ Caps– wltreport.com

We’re more than halfway through June, and the parade of LGBT “pride” propaganda across professional sports continues at full speed.

Most recently, the MLB came under fire for issuing a warning to multiple players on the San Francisco Giants who wrote Bible verses on their hats.

The same hats had already been very conspicuously altered to include the month’s ubiquitous rainbow imagery, but adding a small nod to the Creator was apparently too much for league execs. 

Per the Daily Caller:

Staying true to their faith in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, numerous San Francisco pitchers wrote verses from the Bible on their caps. Starting pitcher Landen Roupp, one of the hurlers, talked following the contest about why he scrawled the verse, stating that it was the representation of “God’s covenant.”

“It’s just about God’s covenant and a promise that he makes to us that, you know, his faithfulness and his mercy,” said Roupp to the media, per OutKick. “That’s just kind of something I believe in, and I stand firm in that, and I’m thankful we live in a country where, you know, we have the freedom to believe what we want … and express what we want.

“There’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand in. I believe in God,” added Roupp.

Here’s a sampling of the backlash the MLB received in response:

(LifeSiteNews) — Major League Baseball (MLB) has issued a warning to three Christian San Francisco Giants pitchers who inscribed a Genesis chapter 9 citation on their team’s specially issued “Pride Night” ball caps last Friday.

As it turns out, so-called “Pride Night,” which is purported to be promoting tolerance, is actually about intolerance for Christians. 

“The writing on the cap violates our rules and consistent with normal practice we have warned the players about future violations,” Pat Courtney, MLB’s chief communications officer told the LGBT sports site, Outsports. 

Outsports suggested that MLB didn’t go far enough for fans “who wanted baseball to issue a fine for the uniform infractions.”

California is “too gay to function.” And if you are surprised by this, you are not paying attention.

According to Chris Rufo, in California, the left is prioritizing contracts for “state-certified gay-owned businesses.” It is unclear how your business can get certified in gayness, but I digress.

Per City Journal:

In 1986, Governor George Deukmejian signed Assembly Bill 3678, which required certain CPUC-regulated utilities to submit annual “plans” for buying goods and services from woman- and minority-owned companies. Two years later, CPUC created its “Supplier Diversity Program,” which would enforce the law and set contracting “goals” for large utilities.

Under a series of Democratic governors, the program has expanded to include gay-owned businesses. In September 2014, then-Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring CPUC to recognize “LGBT-owned businesses” as eligible for supplier-diversity benefits. Five years later, Governor Gavin Newsom expanded the program further, “encouraging” other companies involved in the energy sector to award contracts to gay-owned firms.

Apparently, it’s “Loneliness Awareness Week,” thanks to a global campaign emanating from the United Kingdom.

On the surface, the idea of a “Loneliness Awareness Week” sounds as cozy as the founding organization’s name, Marmalade Trust. That group self-identifies as a “charity,” but it acts more like a nongovernmental organization (NGO) devoted to government and globalist involvement in shaping our social connections.

Marmalade Trust’s home page proudly announces that its mission to fight loneliness is “joined by organisations globally,” including 10 Downing Street, the U.K.’s National Health Service, the BBC, The Guardian, Public Health England, and various other globalist and media outlets. On another page, it boasts that Loneliness Awareness Week has had the involvement of “the Royal Family, the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London, NHS trusts, and all government departments.  We have even had a special Royal Mail postage stamp!” The London transit authority is also partnering with the campaign by encouraging people to chat with strangers on public transit, seemingly to help overcome the loneliness epidemic.
