[Just the News] Former Israel Ambassador Michael Oren says the U.S. may someday have faith again in its institutions but there are immediate obstacles — "not the least of which is that the elite universities in the United States produce graduates who don't necessarily believe in the United States."
Oren, who was Israel's ambassador the U.S. from 2009 to 2013,
...the Obama years, so he’d know...
offered the observation Thursday on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast when asked whether Americans will be able to stop the infighting and make their nation strong again.
"Yes, but there are great obstacles," Oren replied. "There are obstacles that were beginning to emerge in the 1970s, but have come, you know, full blossom, not the least of which is that the elite universities in the United States produce graduates who don't necessarily believe in the United States."
He also questioned whether such schools "think that the United States is ... an exceptional country that's worth defending and fighting for, or that it has a mission to be the leader of the free world."

[Regnum] Numerous problems of the Russian Empire in domestic policy before the war had a direct connection with the foreign policy situation of the country and the future conflict in the Far East. In particular, this concerned the state of affairs on the national outskirts. Things were not limited to Jews in Bessarabia.
Transcaucasia also became a zone of political instability. Since the 1880s, under the influence of events in the Balkans and in the Ottoman Empire, revolutionary sentiments began to spread among the Armenians of Russia. Of course, the Russian revolutionary movement also played its part in this. The Russian authorities also contributed. Since Russia's exit to the Transcaucasus, the Armenians have been a loyal part of the population, actively cooperating with the imperial administration and the army.
But during the reign of Emperor Alexander III significant changes were outlined. The Armenian public supported the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire, including through the church. This raised doubts and even suspicions of the authorities. In 1885, an attack on the Armenian parish education began - about 500 schools were closed, in fact, no adequate replacement was offered.

[Regnum] Oh, the bridge ... “how much in this sound has merged for the Russian heart! How much of it responded . " It seems that if Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin had lived these days, he would have written these lines about the Crimean bridge. It has been dreamed of by more than one generation of politicians both in Russia and abroad. But, on the one hand, there was not enough technology, and on the other hand, apparently, there was no such urgent need, if for centuries the idea of a bridge was in the air, but did not receive implementation.
The first bridge crossing appeared between Taman and Kerch only in 1944, at the end of the Great Patriotic War. For its construction, the USSR used building materials prepared for the same purpose by the Nazis. However, the bridge stood until the first drift of ice. Only fragments of pillars remained from the powerful building, which can still be seen on the Taman coast. The decision on another attempt to connect the mainland main part of Russia with the Crimea was made 70 years later. The task of building "both an automobile and a railway bridge" across the Kerch Strait was set by Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Ministry of Transport on March 19, 2014, that is, the day after the reunification of Crimea with Russia. The bridge has become a vital necessity. As they say, there would be no happiness, but misfortune helped.
Direct translation of the article by Aleksandr Kots
[KP] Zelensky, and Poroshenko, and other politicians and oligarchs of Ukraine pay taxes to the “aggressor” and make a profit, but for some reason they are making claims for this in Kiev only to the leader of the Opposition Party “For Life” Medvedchuk
LOW APARTMENT
Perhaps this was not what his voters expected from Volodymyr Zelensky, when they were led to a promise to start "planting" in the first spring after the elections . His electorate, a sinful thing, thought that we were talking about his predecessor - Petro Poroshenko, who in Ukraine got everyone to such an extent that the people were ready to vote for a comedian without political experience. But two years later, Poroshenko continues to remain at large. And Zelensky starts his "landing" from the other end - eliminating a direct political rival. The main victim of this performance, he chose (or indicated at the US Embassy?) The leader of the Opposition Party "For Life" Viktor Medvedchuk.
A figure for the current Ukrainian hysterical politics is more than suitable. Not only is the oppositionist, who also hobbles around with Muscovites, climbs across Zelensky into the inferno with the exchange of prisoners in the Donbass, then with vaccines, then with housing and communal services tariffs. And nobody asks him about it. The monopoly on good deeds should be exclusively with Zelensky, who is not doing very well with this.
Nevertheless, the above would be quite enough to be accused of ... "treason"! However, the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine has already found something to complain about. In addition to high treason, it was decided to impute to Medvedchuk “the plundering of national resources in Crimea”.
What kind of “national resources” does Ukraine have in Crimea? Yes, Medvedchuk simply dared to engage in gas production on the peninsula, which means paying taxes to the "aggressor". And for dessert, the oppositionist has created an organization that helps Ukrainians who go to Russia to work and study. There are the same companies that send Ukrainians to Poland for strawberries. But the Security Service of Ukraine decided that in fact the purpose of this organization is "to collect personal data of migrant workers, to recruit them, to influence the internal politics of the country and to spread propaganda."
In fact, Russia is one of the three main trade partners of Ukraine at the end of 2020. Imports to Ukraine from Russia amounted to $ 4.6 billion, and exports in the opposite direction - $ 2.7 billion. And this is by no means one Medvedchuk. Coal, electricity, nuclear fuel, grain, chemistry - the dock can be extended indefinitely. Starting, by the way, with ... Zelensky himself! In which in the same Crimea an apartment is registered for his spouse. Nice, in Levadia, almost 130 sq. meters.
Moreover, after 2014, this apartment was re-registered according to Russian laws. And the rent for it comes regularly to the Russian budget.
Is this not the rage? Here is who could share the dock with Medvedchuk.
SERIES OF ZELENSKY
Zelenskiy also has a unique ability - to impose sanctions against Russian TV channels with one hand, and with the other to “sell” his products to them.
Zelensky's show company Kvartal-95, for example, sold the Daddy series to the Russian TV channel STS (which Kiev imposed sanctions on). And last year the President of Ukraine, judging by his official declaration, received royalties from Kvartal-95 in the amount of $ 166 thousand. There is also the money of the "aggressor" received bypassing the sanctions. But the SBU is in no hurry to initiate a criminal case.
But since the time of Poroshenko, Ukrainians have been prohibited from dealing with another Russian company - Yandex. But on his service "Kinopoisk", thanks to the acquired rights, they calmly show the series "Servant of the People" with Zelensky in the title role.
CANDIES, CEMENT AND GASOLINE POROSHENKO
By the way, about Poroshenko. As the president of Ukraine, which, in his own words, is in a "state of war" with Russia, he made a profit from his Roshen factory in Lipetsk, we all already know. Also quite a high treason.
But isn't Poroshenko still the owner of the largest cement enterprise in Crimea - the Bakhchisarai cement plant?
And for three more with Arseniy Yatsenik and Viktor Subbotin, the ex-president controls the Karpatneftekhim plant (until February 2017 - a subsidiary of NK Lukoil, located in the town of Kalush, Ivano-Frankivsk region).
NK Lukoil annually supplied Karpatneftekhim with up to 600 thousand tons of gasoline from its Volgograd and Perm refineries. Net profit - from 400 to 600 dollars from each ton of manufactured products! Monthly income - $ 3-3.5 million.
Not bad for those who shout loudest about the "Russian threat" and "Kremlin agents" in Ukraine.
"TITANIUM" FIRTASH
Ukrainian oligarchs Dmitry Firtash and Sergei Lyovochkin also settled well in Crimean enterprises. The first receives its main income in the form of dividends from the activities of the enterprises "Mineral Fertilizers", "Crimean Titan", "Crimean Soda Plant" and "Brom". The second owns 20% of the income of these companies. But they do not climb into opposition.
WHEAT VEREVSKY
But a major Ukrainian businessman, Andrei Verevsky, is no stranger to politics. The co-owner of the Kernel Group agrarian company in the Verkhovna Rada controls the Doverie parliamentary group, which is famous for the fact that, at the direction of Zelensky's office, it simultaneously votes together with the Servant of the People faction of power, adding the missing votes to pass the necessary laws.
So Kernel Group until 2020 was a co-owner (50%) of the grain terminal in the Russian port of Taman. Verevsky received income from the transshipment of 4 million tons of grain annually by the Russian port terminal.
DANGEROUS COMPETITOR
In fact, all the details of Medvedchuk's business in Russia have long been a Punchinelle's secret. The last time it was analyzed in detail in the Ukrainian press was back in 2019. Then, however, the authorities did not see a serious political rival in Medvedchuk.
Today, even court sociology in Ukraine shows how rapid a fall in confidence in Zelensky and his "Servants of the People", such a confident rise in the rating of the Opposition Party "For Life". And this is dangerous. Therefore, even more or less adequate Ukrainian journalists openly call the "Medvedchuk case" political persecution. What it is, in fact, is.
But the saddest thing is the persecution of millions of supporters of his party in the South-East of Ukraine, some of whom, by the way, recently voted for Zelensky. Because she wanted to normalize relations with Russia and the world in Donbass.
But Zelensky did not keep his word.
Can they, too, be safely recorded as traitors or, at least, as accomplices?
At the moment, Viktor Medvedchuk has been placed under house arrest until July 9 inclusive. The court denied the prosecutor's office in his detention.
[Babylon Bee] WASHINGTON, D.C.—President Biden proposed a $2 trillion spending bill Monday for the purpose of determining the cause of rising inflation. This is Biden’s fourth proposed $2 trillion bill in as many months.
"The cause of inflation is a major concern for all Americans," Biden told reporters. "Rest assured, your government is committed to spending however much taxpayer money it takes to get to the bottom of this malarkey!"
According to Biden, the cause of the rapid increase in inflation has been baffling his economic experts for weeks. "All we know is that some mysterious event happened around January 20th which caused inflation to skyrocket out of control," Biden said. "We don’t know what that event was exactly, but we do suspect President Trump was involved somehow. And maybe Russia."
Biden noted that his willingness to spend trillions to study the problem shows just how seriously he takes the threat of inflation. "I can’t remember the last time anyone proposed a $2 trillion spending bill to Congress," he stated. "I mean that honestly: I can’t remember. Say, what were we talking about again?"
In the meantime, officials from the US Treasury as well as the CDC have advised the public to start carrying double wallets to protect their money and help slow the spread of inflation.
[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian did not let down those who had expected his short "warning" visit to Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... to end the way it did. It proved, indeed, that he who has nothing can offer nothing.
What happened has proven beyond any doubt that Gay Paree could offer nothing as long as it has two different sets of definitions for: religious and sectarian extremism, occupation, illusory sovereignty, the people’s right to honest living, corruption and conspiring against coexistence and "institutional state".

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Several political and military realities separate the recent violent mostly peaceful showdown between 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 Hamaswith 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... -ruling Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, faction and Israeli forces from the three other confrontations the two experienced over the last 12 years.
Even though it was triggered by the forced eviction of Paleostinian families from the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, the military escalation between Israel and Hamas can be traced back to two isolated yet recent Israeli and Paleostinian political developments.

Driving out 99% Arabs from Israel and consolidating the real estate would be enough for a start. Dissolving things like the wakf and securing Jerusalem for non-moslems will be itself a commendable morale victory for western civilization.
Then moving on to assassination, career destruction and humiliation of benefactors of 'Palestine' in other countries would be terrific. Brutal projection - poison, stabbings, drive bys and suicides. A fitting recompense to everyone who ever assisted Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah.
