https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4g9njjrek2o Israel's military says it has hit Houthi targets in Yemen in response to the group's missile launch at Israel's Ben Gurion airport the previous day. The IDF said it attacked sites that it claimed served as a "central supply source for the Houthis" in the Hudaydah Port, as well as the Bajil cement factory east of the city of Hudaydah. https://www.axios.com/2025/05/05/israel-gaza-destroy-trump-deal Israel has set President Trump's visit to the Middle East next week as a deadline for a new hostage and ceasefire deal, with a massive ground operation to commence if no deal is reached, Israeli officials say. Why it matters: Israel's Security Cabinet approved a plan Sunday night to gradually reoccupy all of Gaza and hold it indefinitely if no deal is reached by May 15. Plans for the operation call for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) to flatten any buildings that remain standing and displace virtually the entire population of 2 million people to a single "humanitarian area."

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20xqdn04g3o Russia says Ukraine has launched an overnight drone attack targeting Moscow for the second night in a row. All four of the capital's major airports were closed for several hours to ensure safety but later reopened, Russia's aviation watchdog Rosaviatsia said on Telegram. Moscow's mayor, Sergei Sobyanin, said on social media at least 19 Ukrainian drones had been destroyed before they reached the city "from different directions". He said some of the debris had landed on one of the key highways into the city, but there were no casualties. Ukraine has not yet commented. But the mayor of Kharkiv said Russia had also carried out drone strikes in the city overnight, as well as in the Kyiv area. The governor of Ukraine's Odesa region, Oleh Kiper, said one person was killed in a drone strike. It is the second night in a row that Russia has reported a drone attack by Ukraine - on Monday, Russia's defence ministry said it had destroyed 26 Ukrainian drones overnight. Unconfirmed reports by Russian military bloggers suggested windows of an apartment in the south of Moscow were smashed. As well as in Moscow, the governors of other Russian cities, including Penza and Voronezh, also said they had been targeted by drones overnight into Tuesday. Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, Kyiv has launched several drone attacks on Moscow. Its biggest attack in March killed three people.

Let us know when anything bad actually happens. Not interested in predictions.

The Harry Potter movie series was produced as a co-production between the United Kingdom and the United States. While the films were largely filmed in the UK, Warner Bros., a US-based company, was a key part of the production.

Is there a link you can provide about this?

You're a dooshebag Rusty.

First post I read today in this thread was from this weekend about an AI generated Trump as Pope image. I posted immediately after seeing it.

Another Rusty post behind a locked pay-gate. I'm sure you'll say you pay for the Atlantic too and that you read the article. Except you didn't, BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you drunk? BRO!!!!!!!!!!

Dead Pope Francis is in hell where he belongs.

For example, parts from Canadian or Mexican suppliers who pay their workers $16 or more an hour are deemed “compliant” with the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, a trade deal negotiated during the first Trump administration. That means most Canadian parts are exempt from tariffs, but relatively few Mexican parts. - CNN I focking told the idiots this agreement was still in place.

This goes way way too far being pro-Israel. damn

So now libs listen to the mega wealthy, who happens to be a life long Democrat, even thought they despise Elon having any influence because he's mega wealthy and doesn't understand the regular people.

How is the economy not OK? Inflation is down since Trump took office. The stock market is not part of the economy, and it's recovering anyway.

I'll be at the local track betting the horses Saturday! Let's f'n go!
