The U.S. Space Force plans to test rockets in Johnston Atoll, approximately 800 miles from Hawaii. The locals are saying: Not this again.

In the 1950s and 1960s, the U.S. military conducted nuclear tests on this region in their race with the Soviets for nuclear weapons. They were known as Operation Hardtack and Operation Dominic. That area is still considered nuclear. Although there was no civilian population exposed to the tests, U.S. soldiers and contractors were knowingly exposed to radiation. There is video of them standing there to watch a nuclear test with zero protection.

The locals also say that this is a spiritual violation of the land and they don’t want it used this way. They say that the land is finally recovering from previous military use, which included “coral dredging, atmospheric nuclear testing and the stockpiling and burning of toxic chemical munitions — including more than 2 million gallons of Agent Orange.”

The U.S. Space Force under the Department of the Air Force claims it wants to use this land to test space cargo shipments “to help determine whether commercial rockets can transport military equipment more speedily around the globe, in hours rather than days to weeks that current modes of transportation require.”

Vice President JD Vance has a trip to Israel planned for Tuesday but has reportedly canceled it in the wake of Israel’s military operation in Gaza.

The Vance team cited “logistical” reasons for canceling the trip but did not expand but Axios quotes a U.S. official who says that the decision was made because the VP “didn’t want his trip to suggest the Trump administration endorsed the Israeli decision to launch a massive operation at a time when the U.S. is pushing for a ceasefire and hostage deal.”

Israel has commenced what they call Gideon’s Chariots. It is a full-scale invasion of Gaza with an attempt to displace every single one of the 2 million civilians living there. It involves Israeli airstrikes, ground troops, armored divisions, and naval units on a level not seen before.

Israel says that they have issued evacuation warnings via leaflets, text and media so if civilians stick around and die, that’s not on Israel. They tell them to go to Safe Zones but those Safe Zones have been bombed too.

France, the United Kingdom and Canada issued a joint condemnation of the Israeli military operation on Monday. It calls Israel’s reaction to October 7 “wholly disproportionate” and calls out the Netanyahu Government for breach of International Humanitarian Law. It says that these countries are “committed to recognising a Palestinian state as a contribution to achieving a two-state solution and are prepared to work with others to this end.”

Netanyahu did not take kindly to this statement. He called it a “huge prize” for Hamas and told them to follow President Trump’s lead and support Israel. He added: “We will take control of all the territory of the strip.”

Iran says that it is still open to a nuclear deal but they do not want to negotiate in public. Probably a good idea.

The U.S. has previously said that it would be okay with Iran enriching uranium to a low level in order to build a nuclear power program and use for other civil development projects. Now the U.S. says that no uranium enrichment by Iran is acceptable. How did that needle move to 0? Did it have to do with Israel’s insistence that it be zero?

Over the weekend, Ayatollah Khamenei gave a speech in which he accused the U.S. of hypocrisy by seeking peace deals abroad but supporting “the massacre in Gaza.” He said that the U.S. “must and will leave” the Middle East and that Israel is a “dangerous, deadly, cancerous tumor” that “must and will be eliminated.”

He did not chant “Death to Israel” and “Death to the U.S.A.” The people in the audience chanted that and he did not stop them.

This is the temperature of peace negotiations right now but thankfully the Ayatollah is not doing the negotiations himself. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi says that “Mastering enrichment technology is a hard-earned and homegrown scientific achievement; an outcome of great sacrifice of both blood and treasure. If the U.S. is interested in ensuring that Iran will not have nuclear weapons, a deal is within reach, and we are ready for a serious conversation to achieve a solution that will forever ensure that outcome. Enrichment in Iran, however, will continue with or without a deal.”

President Trump spoke with Russian President Putin for over two hours and both reported that the conversation was positive. They say a ceasefire is in the works but…they’ve been saying that for weeks and this weekend, the Russian military reported that Ukraine is losing up to 1,345 servicemen per day.

President Trump said that negotiations are underway towards a ceasefire and permanent end to the war. He seemed to indicate that after the war ends, Russia can start doing business with the U.S.

President Zelensky said that he too spoke with President Trump and that Ukraine is “ready for a full and unconditional ceasefire.” He pleaded with the United States to stay involved and threatened Russia with sanctions from the U.S. and Europe if it does not cooperate. Who is he to threaten sanctions from countries he does not run?

President Putin says that the details of a ceasefire will continue in Istanbul where President Zelensky met with a Russian delegation just days ago.

FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino sat for an interview with Fox News on Sunday and said some things that raised eyebrows, namely that Jeffrey Epstein DID kill himself.

“You know a suicide when you see one and that’s what that was,” said Director Patel.

What did he see that the rest of us cannot? How did he “see one”? The camera footage was not captured because the system reportedly failed only where Epstein was at the time. The guards also failed to check on him as required and later falsified their logs. Epstein’s cellmate was also mysteriously removed prior to his death so there were no witnesses. And there are still inconsistencies with the autopsy which showed fractures in Epstein’s neck which experts say were were more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicidal hanging. So how can he be so sure out of hand?

Director Patel also said that a new “wave of transparency” is coming soon in “about a week or two” but that pertained to Russiagate and January 6 prosecutions. Will we ever see solid evidence about Epstein’s death?

They were asked why we have so little information on the assassination attempt on President Trump and Director Patel said that there “are two live prosecutions and we can’t get ahead of the federal court cases.”

That’s fair. The government cannot impugn defendants while they are defending themselves but Director Bongino did say there is no “there there.” As in, the conspiracies are not based. Really?

Both men reiterated that they are focused on criminal prosecutions at the FBI under President Trump. “We’re about to ruin your summer if you’re a bad guy.”

So how do you feel about the FBI under this new leadership? Does this put those two stories to bed for you?

President Biden’s has spokesperson announced that the former President has “an aggressive form of prostate cancer” with “metastasis to the bone.”

This is tragic news but it is also highly unusual. President Biden was treated for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in 2008 which is an enlarged prostate. The public was assured at the time that it was not cancer but we were also assured his treatment would include regular screenings, which would have caught this at a much earlier stage. Did he refuse screenings or is there malpractice at hand because those screenings were not ordered? This should have been detected and treated long ago based on his medical history.

As one cancer physician put it, “prostate cancer is the easiest cancer to diagnose when it first starts and to watch it progress to bone metastases…. It would be malpractice for this patient to show up and be first diagnosed with metastatic disease in May 2025. It is highly likely he was carrying a diagnosis of prostate cancer throughout his White House tenure and the American people were uninformed.”

So… why is this happening? Why wasn’t this caught and treated earlier? Or is this news to us and not news to the Biden family? In which case, these are valid questions: Did they release this news on the heels of Democrats blaming the President for his own failed health? Or perhaps to distract from the recordings from President Biden’s FBI interviews?.

The Food and Drug Administration issued an approval for Novavax’s Covid-19 vaccine. This is the only non-mRNA vaccine.

The vaccine was approved for adults aged 65 and older and individuals aged 12 to 64 with at least one underlying health condition that increases their risk for severe COVID-19 outcomes. But reading the clinical trials prompts serious questions.

The trials included populations that had a single doses and populations that had two doses. The trials showed a reduction in symptomatic Covid 7 days after the second dose. But the FDA didn’t approve two doses. They only approved one. So is one dose even effective at all at preventing Covid? We don’t know, that wasn’t tested.

There is also a noted risk of myocarditis and heart inflammation but it is lower than that of mRNA Covid vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna. There was also at least one vaccine recipient with “a serious event of Guillain Barré syndrome reported 9 days following administration of” the vaccine. The FDA notes that Novavax has to follow up on any further cases if they observe it.

The FDA is also supposed to follow up on how the vaccine does when it is shipped to patients. They don’t know!? They don’t. They must submit a study called “Shipping Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 rS (JN.1 Vaccine) Drug Product in Pre-Filled Syringe (PFS) Finished Good Presentation” by July of this year. This is not an uncommon practice at the FDA. They approve vaccines not knowing how they will fare once they are shipped to doctor’s offices. They test it on us.

Why would someone chose to take this given that its dosage was not trialed and its effectiveness unknown? Especially given the low prevalence of Covid. Your guess is as good as mine.

Ukrainian President Zelensky gave the new Pope Leo a war souvenir at his inauguration Mass.

“Today, we presented Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex with a special icon – the Holy Mother with the Infant, painted on a fragment of a crate used to store heavy artillery munitions, brought from near Izyum. This icon speaks of our children. Of those who have suffered from the war, who were deliberately abducted and deported by Russia, and who are very much awaited at home – in Ukraine. We pray for the lives of all our deported children and hope for the Vatican’s support in this matter, so that all of them, both the children and Ukrainian prisoners, can return home,” he wrote.

Pope Leo offered to moderate peace discussions for all global conflicts so Zelensky got in line first to speak to the new Catholic leader since the cameras are still very much trained on the amiable new Pope but less interested in Zelensky’s antics lately.

The Pope’s Inauguration Mass was attended by global leaders including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Vice President shared this photo of a meeting after church with President Zelensky where he said that the two spoke about the “goal of ending unnecessary bloodshed in Ukraine, and we discussed updates on the ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire and lasting peace.” The Russian military reports that Ukraine is losing up to 1,345 servicemen per day.

It that a forced smile on Zelensky’s face or indication that they got on better this time?

These seem to be ornamental meetings for Zelensky. The people who can actually make this happen will speak on the phone on Monday: that is, President Trump and President Putin. After the call, President Trump says that he’ll speak with President Zelensky and members of NATO. He added: “HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE A PRODUCTIVE DAY, A CEASEFIRE WILL TAKE PLACE, AND THIS VERY VIOLENT WAR, A WAR THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED, WILL END. GOD BLESS US ALL”

OKAY GOOD
