[Breitbart] For the second time in less than 24 hours, migrants are dead following a crash as smugglers attempted to avoid arrest. Texas Department of Public Safety officials report that four migrants died and two others are in critical condition when a Jeep driven by a suspected human smuggler crashed into a tractor-trailer while fleeing from law enforcement. Officials report the driver is in critical condition (brain dead).
Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez told Breitbart Texas that a Border Patrol agent attempted to stop a suspected human smuggler near Encinal, Texas, on Thursday morning. The driver failed to yield leading to a law enforcement pursuit.
Olivarez said the pursuit ended when the driver of the white Jeep crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer. It is not known at this time if Border Patrol continued the pursuit or if another agency took over prior to the crash. Breitbart Texas reached out to Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials for additional information. The agency confirmed Border Patrol agents engaged in the traffic stop. The CBP Office of Professional Investigations is investigating the incident.
The results of the devastating crash left four of the passengers dead. Two others and the driver were taken to an area hospital in critical condition.
“The driver is not expected to survive his injuries,” Lt. Ovivarez told Breitbart. “He experienced severe head trauma including exposed brain matter.” Olivarez said a helicopter air ambulance transported the driver to a hospital.
Police found documents in the vehicle identifying one of the migrants as a Venezuelan national. The identities of the others have yet to be established.
This is the second deadly crash in 24 hours involving human smugglers attempting to avoid arrest. On Wednesday afternoon, the driver of a green Ford Expedition lost control and rolled the vehicle after fleeing from La Joya police officers, Breitbart Texas reported. The crash led to the death of two of the migrant passengers. Two other occupants of the vehicle are in the hospital in critical condition.
All four of the occupants of the Expedition were foreign nationals illegally present in the United States, Olivarez stated.
On Monday evening, a worker found an abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio after migrants locked inside yelled for help. Investigators found more than 60 people inside the trailer. Reports indicate 46 of the migrants died at the scene and seven others succumbed to the damage from the heat and lack of water. Four people are facing charges in connection to what is now considered the nation’s largest death toll from a single smuggling incident.
[VolohConspiracy] Chief Justice Roberts final opinion of the term rejects the statutory challenge to the Biden Administration's rescission of the "Remain in Mexico" policy.
This morning Chief Justice Roberts delivered a gift to the BIden Administration with the final opinion in an argued case this Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... term in Biden v. Texas. In a 5-4 decision, the Court concluded it had jurisdiction to hear the case and rejected a statutory challenge to the Biden Administration's rescission of the Trump Administration's Migrant Protection Protocol, aka the "Remain in Mexico" policy. The case is now remanded back to the lower courts for additional proceedings, including other challenges to the policy change.
Chief Justice Roberts wrote for a 5-4 Court, joined by the Court's liberals and Justice Kavanaugh, who also wrote a concurrence. Justice Alito wrote a dissent joined by Justices Thomas and Gorsuch. Justice Barrett also wrote a dissent joined by the Justices Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch, save for the first sentence of her opinion ("I agree with the Court's analysis of the merits—but not with its decision to reach them.").
Note this indicates the Biden Administration's victory may be short-lived, as Texas and others may still pursue their APA challenges to the policy, including arguments that the Administration failed to provide an adequate explanation for the policy decision. Justice Kavanaugh stresses the point in his concurrence. So the Biden Administration is not out of the woods yet. Expect Texas, et al., to really hone their State Farm arguments on remand.
[IsraelTimes] Citing anonymous sources, al-Arabi al-Jadeed says Cairo informed Tehran it demands to be kept out of the Israeli-Iranian shadow war
Egyptian security officials warned Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... not to operate on Egyptian soil to target Israelis, days after The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and Israel apparently thwarted attempts to target Israeli civilians in Ottoman Turkish territory, according to a report Wednesday in the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... -backed daily al-Arabi al-Jadeed.
"Egyptian officials informed their Iranian counterparts that Egypt will not accept the involvement of its security reputation in the ongoing conflict between Tel Aviv and Tehran," the report said.
The officials reportedly added that Cairo has in the past declined to join Israel or other regional actors in their shadow war against Iran.
According to the report, Israel informed Egypt that Iran had begun to consider targeting Israeli citizens there, after collaboration between Israeli and Ottoman Turkish intelligence prevented attacks on Ottoman Turkish soil.
Iran and Israel have been engaged in a years-long shadow war, but tensions have ratcheted up in recent months following a string of high-profile incidents Tehran has blamed on Israel. Jerusalem, as is common practice, neither confirms nor denies its involvement in most of the incidents.
Israel warned its citizens not to travel to Turkey in mid-June, fearing Iranian retribution. According to senior Israeli officials, significant intelligence had indicated that Iran was seeking to carry out attacks against Israeli tourists in the country to avenge a series of killings and strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets that have been attributed to the Jewish state.
In rare public announcements, Israeli officials publicly urged Israelis in Istanbul to lock their hotel rooms at night and avoid strangers. At times, the security establishment even declared that an operation to capture Israelis had started.
On Tuesday, Israel eased the elevated travel warning, returning it to Level 3, or moderate. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett thanked Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him.

"Our activities were successful, and succeeded in protecting human life," said Bennett. "We will gradually return to normal."

[DW] Many Bangladeshis who come to Cyprus hoping to find work end up in refugee camps in the EU country. They blame human traffickers for their ill fate.
If they’re migrant workers, they have no business in refugee camps.
Two Bangladeshi migrants colonists were desperately waiting at the main gate leading to the Pournara migrant reception camp outside Nicosia, the capital of the Republic of Cyprus, last week, hoping to gain entry into the already-overcrowded camp. The two men — in their 20s — looked exhausted and afraid. One of them, 24-year-old Salim Hossain, told DW that the authorities denied them entry into the camp due to a lack of documents.
"We don't have any passports. A Bangladeshi human trafficker has taken them from us in North Cyprus before sending us to the southern part of the island," Hossain said.
“Yes” isn’t good enough — Turkey ups the ante. Yesterday it was 30, today 73.

On Wednesday two bad boyz were potted in an encounter at the Newport, Mir Bazar area of Kulgam in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor.

It was special for the Armed Forces for a reason. The terrorist who was killed was number 500 in the past two and half years.

[AlAhram] Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stated on Wednesday that establishing an Arab military alliance akin to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... ) is not possible and would not be proposed..
Like NATO would be ineffective without America, an Arab NATO would be just another talk shop without Israel —distressing though it is for certain parties to contemplate. Better nothing official than that.
Shoukry’s remarks came in a joint presser Wednesday with Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Alzayani on the sidelines of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi’s two-day visit to Bahrain.
In the past few days, speculation regarding the creation of an "Arab NATO" involving US-sponsored Arab-Israeli security cooperation has widely circulated in advance of US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier. Of course Corn Pop is a real person.... ’s visit to the region in mid-July.
Though Shoukry ruled out the idea of creating an Arab NATO at the current stage, he stressed the importance of reinforcing joint Arab action, according to the Bahraini daily Akhbar-Alkhaleej.
"We are confident that our joint capabilities are great and capable of protecting Arab national security interests against any interference from outside the Arab region," the Bahraini newspaper quoted Shoukry as saying.
No doubt.
The top Egyptian diplomat stressed, "we have an interest in continuing consultations and coordination at the level of relevant leaderships and agencies to maximise benefit from cooperation among us in all fields [including] political, economic and security, because we have a common history and destiny that must be preserved."
In an interview with to CNBC earlier this week, Jordan's King Abdullah II said he believed a Middle Eastern military alliance could be built with like-minded countries, stressing that the vision of such an alliance must be very clear.
“We’ll be in charge, and someone else will do the work.”
The remarks come nearly two weeks before the upcoming Gulf Cooperation Council+3 Summit which will be chaired by Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... on 16 June.
The summit will host the heads of state of the GCC countries, the leaders of Egypt, Jordan and Iraq, as well as US President Joe Biden, who will be making his first tour in the Middle East by visiting Saudi Arabia, Israel and the West Bank.
It doesn’t sound like Israel will participate, but they have an election to deal with.
[IsraelTimes] Yair Lapid officially became prime minister at the stroke of midnight between Thursday and Friday, taking office as the 14th premier in Israel’s history.
Lapid’s term leading the country could be a fairly short one, as he takes over a caretaker government ahead of national elections on November 1. But the new prime minister appeared ready to make the most of a potentially brief tenure.
"We’ll do the best we can for a Jewish, democratic state, good and strong and thriving, because that is the job, and it’s bigger than all of us," Lapid said at a handover ceremony with outgoing prime minister Naftali Bennett on Thursday afternoon.
On Sunday, Lapid is expected to convene the first weekly cabinet meeting of his premiership. Bennett — who announced on Wednesday that he will not run in the next election
...it’s important to recognize one’s limitations, and where one needs further growth. Common brilliance is not enough without experience...
— is set to remain in the government as alternate prime minister. He will also continue to hold responsibility for the country’s Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... policy.
On Thursday, Lapid announced the full slate of his staff as he gears up to hit the ground running. His prime ministerial office will be headed up by a woman for the first time in Israeli history.
Naama Schultz, a longtime aide to the Yesh Atid leader, will become director-general of the Prime Minister’s Office once Lapid takes over. Schultz served as the head of Lapid’s office when he was alternate prime minister, as well as an adviser when he was finance minister.
Lapid is bringing in a series of other loyalists, including longtime adviser Yair Zivan as his diplomatic adviser, and one of his longest associates, Dani Vesely, as his chief of staff.
But in a nod to continuity, Lapid is keeping on staff four key positions from the Bennett premiership: Shalom Shlomo as cabinet secretary, Avi Gil as military secretary, Eyal Hulata as national security adviser, and Keren Haijoff as his international spokesperson.
Only entering politics a decade ago, the centrist former TV anchor will be the first non-right-wing prime minister since Ehud Barak left office in 2001, and one of the few without significant military experience.

Lately I'm thinking Catherine the Great went through lovers at a slower rate. Of course she could do a pretty good job of ruling herself. Germany could use someone like her, and/or unlike Frau Merkel.
No more BDS for you! It turns out once again that there is a high cost for companies playing woke games.

Ben & Jerry’s will continue to be sold in Israel and the West Bank, after the Israeli franchise came to an agreement with the ice cream maker’s parent company Unilever following a year of legal battling over a settlement boycott, the two sides announced on Wednesday.
Israel and its supporters hailed the decision as a major victory against the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Israel could just stop being so awful. That would stop this BDS movement in its tracks. Remember that time they blew up all those unarmed civilians? Yeah, stop doing that.
Given that the first round of BDS kicked in about a century ago — the Arab League boycotted Jewish goods back when Britain was in charge of that part of the world — it sounds like what you really mean, Mr. Albemarle Snerert7268, is that Jews are icky.
