A proud moment as this Marine grandfather gets to give first salute to his now higher ranking granddaughter

The Al-Qaeda terrorist and suspected mastermind of the 7/7 bombing in London 2005 in which 52 people were killed and 800 wounded, Haroon Aswat, was released early from psychiatric prison last year “after his schizophrenia improved.” UK judges ruled for his release from psychiatric care, overriding police and security services’ warnings that he was still a massive danger to public security. Aswat was linked via phone contacts with the bombers, had met some of them in Pakistan before the attack and had travelled back to the UK just weeks before the attacks and last the UK on the same morning that the attacks took place. He was arrested in Zambia a few weeks later with bomb-making manuals. The U.S. wanted him extradited for past terrorist offences on their territory but faced legal obstacles from European judges. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) first blocked his extradition to the USA due to concerns his paranoid schizophrenia would worsen in US prison conditions (breaching human rights against inhuman treatment). After US assurances on care, he was eventually extradited back in 2013. He was sentenced in the USA in October 2015 to 20 years for conspiring to provide material support to al-Qaeda, including helping set up a jihadist training camp in Oregon with Abu Hamza associates. After serving time, he was extradited back to the UK around 2022 and held under the Mental Health Act. Last year, UK judges decided to give him an early release and he is now free in West Yorkshire with just limited monitoring since it was deemed that stricter measures such as being forced to wear an ankle monitor risked worsening his psychiatric status and would be against mental health law provisions.

One understated reality of what Trump has done: He basically just nuked his Senate majority for the next six months. Rs have a 53-47 hold on the Senate. - Sen. Tillis is retiring and already acting like an independent. - Sen. Cassidy now has no reason to play ball. - Sens. Murkowski and Collins have long been willing to break with POTUS. - Sen. Cornyn will have to navigate the runoff, but win or lose next Tuesday he comes out of that doing whatever he wants. All the sudden, a 53-47 Senate majority is a 48-47 majority with five live swing votes.

Top Democrats suddenly go quiet when asked about the explosive Reddit posts from Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner. Fox Digital pressed Democratic leaders on whether Platner’s newly uncovered vulgar online comments are becoming a political problem ahead of the midterms… and got little to no response.

Katie Miller: “What’s a conspiracy theory that you believe in?” Liz Wright, wife of Trump Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “…The teachers unions want to keep the students stupid so they can control them and turn them into Democrats.”

The biggest shipyard in China and the biggest shipyard in South Korea both fit inside the Solano Shipyard. 6.5 miles of waterfront on a federal deep-water channel used by Panamax class, destroyer-sized ships. There are 365,000 skilled workers within 50 miles. Just sayin'.

Tucker Carlson LAUGHS at "Islamic jihad" saying "whatever that is?!" As he mocks the people"concerned about Islamic jihad, Hamas and Hezbollah" who voted against Thomas Massie.

Today, May 21st, marks one year since Sarah Lynn Milgrim z”l and Yaron Lischinsky z”l were murdered. 365 days since two bright young souls, devoted to Israel, the Jewish people, and building bridges between communities, were taken from us far too soon. Our Embassy and extended Embassy family are still grieving. Although our formal year of mourning has come to an end, we still feel the pain and horror as if it still were the night of May 21st, 2025. We hope Sarah is remembered for her dedication to bringing communities closer to Israel, her compassion, her kindness, and the way she brought people together with sincerity and warmth. We hope Yaron is remembered for his delicate way of interacting with people from all walks of life, his dedication to educating others about Israel, his intellect, and his deep love for the State of Israel. May their memories continue to be and forever be a blessing. May we merit to continue honoring them and their work. May our Embassy family know no more pain. May the Almighty comfort us, together with their families, among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. We ask that you remember our friends and colleagues, and never allow their deaths to be in vain or forgotten.
