The local press primarily mined Netanyahu’s 60 Minutes interview for headlines regarding enriched uranium and Donald Trump. As a result, his response to an unusual question about Chinese involvement in the war in Iran was largely overlooked. It has been a long time since the prime minister appeared so cautious—so intentionally vague. “Look,” he told the interviewer, “different countries have different interests... Does China want its supply chain to be with the Iranians? It’s not a zero-sum game... There are dangers and opportunities in everything... like in AI... there President Trump and President Xi will talk about AI... there too are dangers and opportunities...” The PM wasn’t squirming for nothing. He too knows that China is too important to clash with head-on. On one of the days of the war, someone in the Israeli top echelon wondered what would happen if the Chinese turned on the camera in the robotic vacuum cleaner in the home of an IDF major general, and what if they decided to pass information to the Iranians about impact zones using the enormous number of [Chinese] vehicles they have in Israel (much more than in the US or Europe). From Beijing’s perspective, Israel is not a sales target, it is a strategic target—a deliberate and systematic chipping away at American influence in the heart of the Middle East and gaining a foothold in a technological-military power. While the Americans operate on the top floor through the government, politics, and military cooperation, the Chinese infiltrate through the floorboards. Perhaps Israelis should feel flattered that the two superpowers are bickering over our attention, but we need to remain careful. China, unlike Qatar, does not support Iran out of love for the Ayatollahs, nor out of hatred for Israel. It does so because it needs chaos in the Middle East that will drain US resources and attention away from Taiwan and the South China Sea. For Xi Jinping, every dollar the US invests in interceptors for Israel is a dollar not invested in submarines in the Strait of Malacca. This quiet war is China’s way of buying time in the clash of titans against the United States. The Iran war is where the Chinese are testing American boundaries and their willingness to go all the way. The event is only getting more complicated. Take the Strait of Hormuz, for example. The Iranians are trying to create a new equation and control the world through violent control over the straits. This might be good for the Iranians, but for the Chinese, it is terrible. Why? Because while transit through Hormuz is important to the Chinese, transit through the Strait of Malacca is much more important. This is a narrow strait between Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore, practically controlled by the US. Eighty percent of China’s oil imports pass through it. If the method of blocking shipping lanes becomes a legitimate means, it means the US will acquire almost absolute control over the Chinese. And that is just one example. Another example comes specifically from Israel: the amount of military knowledge and capabilities built and tested here over the past three years is historically unprecedented. Israel is considered today around the world as a formidable power with field-tested experience. The war is the world’s largest testing lab for artificial intelligence on the battlefield. When Israel disrupts UAV swarms or eliminates 20 scientists in Iran in a few seconds, it makes its superiority practical. Trump brings receipts showing that Chinese technology is inferior to the Israeli-American mind, clarifying to them that he holds the tap to the knowledge and the blockade against everything they are trying to achieve. In this battle, Israel is the US’s combat R&D department, and for Trump, this is a tremendous bargaining chip. Trump knows that the one keeping Iran alive today, even if quietly, is the empire from the East. They are the ones still trading with the Iranians while bypassing sanctions; they are the ones providing them with intelligence and even certain types of weaponry. For the Chinese, for example, air defense batteries are considered offensive weapons, but ballistic missiles are somehow defined as defensive weapons. Go figure. Just as Israel set a goal for itself to break the Middle Eastern axis of evil, Trump set a goal for himself to break the Chinese-Russian-Iranian-North Korean axis of evil. If he disconnects the Chinese from the axis—he will weaken it significantly and bring it closer to the goal he desires so much: an absolute and indisputable victory, in a short time, and with a relatively low number of casualties.

It's 1950s America and you're in the rural south of America. A black man has just been stabbed. Why? Because he said something the white man didn't like. Or did he? The black man never got medical help. In fact as he tried to climb over the fence to get away and yell for help the white guy aggressively followed him. Cops arrive. The white man says that the black guy mouthed off to him so he stabbed him. But the white guy just happened to be carrying a large knife with him? The white guy denies any guilt. The cops, arbiters of justice do the unthinkable. They put the black man in handcuffs. While he's still bleeding! They listen as the white man says the black guy said something he didn't like. An obvious travesty as the cops are arresting the wrong guy. In fact the white man blamed the black guy for being racist and attacking him. He died in handcuffs. Later on the white guy admitted stabbing the black guy and didn't mention anything about the guy saying mean stuff. He thought it couldn't be overheard but it was recorded. One of the most ridiculous miscarriages of justice of a terrible era. Anyone would agree race played a motivating factor. And that the cops deserve to be tried for their prejudices. Except this story didn't happen in rural America in the 1950s. It happened in Britain today. And it wasn't a black man but a British 18 year old white kid. He was stabbed by a Sikh guy carrying a large knife who claimed Henry was racist and attacked him. His mom acted as an accomplice and attempted to hide the weapon. Except he was recorded in the back of a police van and never mentioned any of the race stuff. And the cops handcuffed the white 18 year old instead of getting him to a hospital. He died in handcuffs accused of deserving the stabbing due to racism. Everyone knows the first case would be terrible unspeakable racism. We would all rightly condemn and build statues commemorating the first guy. We would hang our heads in shame at such an awful story. It's no less awful when it happened today just because the races changed.

Your Britain takes innocent British boys who’ve been stabbed by immigrants and handcuffs them while they bleed out and die in the street.

Suspeito! Trocaram o delegado que investigou Lulinha. A Polícia Federal substituiu o delegado que comandava as investigações sobre as fraudes do INSS e que alcançou Lulinha, o filho mais velho do Lula. O pedido de quebra de sigilo contra ele foi feito justamente sob a gestão do delegado afastado. O senador Carlos Viana, que presidiu a CPMI do INSS, já oficiou o Diretor-Geral da PF cobrando explicações. Não é pra menos. Esse foi um dos maiores escândalos contra aposentados e pensionistas, gente que trabalhou a vida inteira e teve o dinheiro roubado. Quem não deve, não teme investigação. Lula não disse que podia investigar seu filho? Mudou de ideia?

1. Common grace: so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. — Matthew 5:45 2. A different type of grace: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, — Ephesians 2:8 You don’t have to accept reformed to theology to admit every single person is given more than they deserve. Yet not everyone is given the gospel. Is God unjust? By no means.

🚨NYT: "We need more Jew haters in Congress."

Minha querida ministra, você não acha que o Senado deveria apurar um contrato de R$ 129 milhões que a esposa de um ministro recebeu do Daniel Vorcaro? Nenhum problema no Daniel Vorcaro perguntar ao Alexandre de Moraes se “deu para bloquear?”no dia em que ele foi preso? Numa mensagem autodestrutiva? Obrigado por sua atenção.

É tudo só coincidência… com ajudinha dos “permitidos”!

OPINIÃO | DANILO DE ALMEIDA MARTINS - O STF de ontem pediu perdão a um nascituro; o de hoje permite queimá-los: gazpovo.com/HKg5R8ok "Apesar de serem os mais atingidos pela liminar proferida, os nascituros não são parte na ação e não puderam manejar nenhum recurso ou qualquer outra medida defensiva"

🧵The Democrats may not survive the Callais ruling. The Supreme Court’s decision to curb race-based congressional districts strikes at the structural foundation of their House power. I've been counting 21 such districts. But by the American Spectator's count, 122 of Democrats' 212 seats sit in majority-minority districts engineered along racial lines. This is not a small correction. It is an existential threat to their current model.

Imagine being so morally bankrupt that you design, order, pay for, and proudly hang a terrorist flag at NYU’s graduation. It takes a special kind of vile low-life to turn a celebration of achievement into a glorification of hate. Whoever is responsible should be expelled immediately if they’re a student and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Enough is enough.

"Within H.H.S., many staff members were angry with Mr. Becerra. Again and again, they sent up reports, including some that reached his level, warning that children appeared to be at risk. "This week, the same H.H.S. employees told me they were frustrated that the California race seemed fixated on claims about 85,000 'missing' children. What troubled them more, they said, was that the government rushed to release 250,000 children and then did so little to find out what became of them." In other words, what @XavierBecerra did was far worse than simply losing track of 85,000 children. x.com/hannahdreier/s…

A MATRIA tem recebido relatos de mulheres que atuam no sistema de justiça demonstrando desconfortos, inseguranças, medo e preocupações relacionadas a mudanças no acesso a espaços íntimos e segregados por sexo - como banheiros, vestiários e alojamentos - nas dependências dos tribunais e órgãos do Judiciário. Muitas dessas mulheres relatam não terem sido consultadas previamente sobre essas mudanças, além de apontarem dificuldades para expressar opiniões ou preocupações sobre o tema de forma aberta e segura dentro do ambiente institucional. Diante disso, buscamos compreender melhor a percepção de mulheres que atuam no Judiciário - magistradas, servidoras, técnicas, terceirizadas e demais profissionais - sobre: - os impactos dessas mudanças no ambiente de trabalho; - questões relacionadas à privacidade, segurança, dignidade e liberdade de expressão; - o grau de participação das mulheres nos processos decisórios; - e a existência de receios relacionados à manifestação de opiniões divergentes. O objetivo é produzir um levantamento sério, respeitoso e baseado na escuta das próprias mulheres do sistema de justiça, contribuindo para um debate institucional mais transparente e democrático sobre direitos em tensão. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
