US military 'out of time' in push against adversaries' modernization, Air Force secretary says
[FoxNews] Senior Air Force officials told U.S. lawmakers that they are "out of time" in modernizing their forces to meet the threats of China and other adversaries.

Department of the Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall and top-ranking military leaders from the Air Force and Space Force shared their chilling warning to a House committee on Wednesday.

"Time is my greatest concern — we are in a race for military technological superiority with a capable pacing challenge," Kendall told the House Armed Services Committee.

Government Corruption
Prosecutors accuse Trump of breaching gag order 7 more times: 'It's ridiculous'
[NYPOST] The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office slammed Donald Trump Thursday for allegedly breaching a gag order “seven more times” in the past few days, fuming it’s “ridiculous.”

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s most “disturbing post,” prosecutor Chris Conroy said. came that night when Trump shared a quote on Truth Social from Fox News host Jesse Watters which said “they are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge” in order to get on the jury in his hush money trial.


Trump, 77, also reposted clips, including an opinion piece published in The Post, that were critical of his former lawyer and “fixer” Michael Cohen — an ex-con who is expected to be a key witness at the historic Manhattan Supreme Court trial.

Judge Juan Merchan has ruled that the former president can’t disparage jurors or witnesses in the criminal case — or go after family of court staff, including relatives of the judge and District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

#6  So a full biographic breakdown of each and every juror is bonne, but oh boy mention the judge's family is not just active party members but even agents assigned to political opponents, and Trump specifically.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Biden announces half measures on Iran drones, steel — without hitting lucrative oil income
[NYPOST] President Biden announced sanctions against Iranian steel and drone companies as well as 16 individuals Thursday in response to last weekend’s aerial attack by Tehran against Israel — after years of similar Iranian drones pummeling Ukraine and without clamping down on Iran’s oil exports.

Leading Republicans and Democrats in Congress have asked Biden to consider going after Iranian petroleum revenue in response to Tehran’s support of Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
gunnies in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, but the latest announcement does not address the country’s top export, on which Biden previously eased sanctions.

Higher US gas prices caused by reduced global supply could undermine Biden’s bid for a second term in November.
