Pictures of torn-up paper notes in Trump’s toilets emerge in WH correspondent Maggie Haberman’s book after he denied flushing Oval Office docs: Donald says pics are ‘fabricated’

Images allegedly depicting Donald Trump’s toilets clogged with torn-up pieces of paper have emerged after the former president denied claims he would flush official documents during his time in the White House.

Maggie Haberman, a New York Times White House correspondent who closely followed Trump during his presidency for an upcoming book, claimed to have obtained pictures of presidential notes stuffed into the residence toilets from a former White House official who worked under the previous administration.

Toiletgate. The media should be able to run with this for a minimum of 6 mos.

As Israel-Palestinian truce holds, Gaza power plant restarts

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — With a cease-fire between Israel and Palestinian militants holding after nearly three days of violence, Gaza’s sole power plant resumed operations Monday as Israel began reopening crossings into the territory.

Israel also lifted security restrictions on southern Israeli communities after the Egyptian-mediated truce took effect late Sunday. Fighting abated, and war-weary people in Gaza and Israel were left picking up the pieces after another round of violence — the worst since an 11-day war between Israel and Hamas last year.

Of Course, The FBI Refused to Apologize for Their Russian Collusion Antics

Conservatives and liberals hate the FBI for different reasons, with varying intensity levels. The issues they take umbrage with the nation’s preeminent law enforcement and domestic intelligence agency are different in size and scope, though they’re all serious issues that speak to the credibility and professionalism of the FBI. For liberals, the FBI’s lack of care when investigating the plethora of sexual assault allegations lobbed against the now-incarcerated Larry Nassar by American gymnasts was appalling. FBI Director Christopher Wray was yanked onto the Hill over this last year, where he apologized for his agency’s lack of follow-through. Nassar terrorized our gymnastics team for years; his list of victims included Olympic champions.

The Corruption of Medicine

Guardians of the profession discard merit in order to alter the demographics of their field

The post–George Floyd racial reckoning has hit the field of medicine like an earthquake. Medical education, medical research, and standards of competence have been upended by two related hypotheses: that systemic racism is responsible both for racial disparities in the demographics of the medical profession and for racial disparities in health outcomes. Questioning those hypotheses is professionally suicidal. Vast sums of public and private research funding are being redirected from basic science to political projects aimed at dismantling white supremacy. The result will be declining quality of medical care and a curtailment of scientific progress.

The West Must Brace for More Chinese Naval Aggression

Between April 26 and May 26, Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) interceptors interfered with the navigation of a U.S. C-130 Hercules transport aircraft, an Australian P-8 surveillance aircraft, and a Canadian CP-140 Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft conducting surveillance off the coast of North Korea. The worst possible outcome from such an encounter is a fatal mid-air collision, which last occurred in April 2001, off the coast of Hainan Island, between a U.S. Air Force EP-3 and a Chinese J-8 fighter aircraft, killing a pilot. Previously, between July 1952 and February 1960, the United States suffered a total of twenty-eight military fatalities in four incidents at sea with China, not including at least a dozen other hostile encounters. In three instances—in 1953, 1956, and 1968—U.S. surveillance aircraft were shot down.

Tehran, the Day After

What might happen in Iran if America or Israel bombed the nuclear sites?

What would happen inside Iran if America or Israel bombed its nuclear sites? That intriguing question is rarely broached, in part because many in Washington recoil from any speculation that might make such a military contingency a more concrete exercise. Iran’s atomic program keeps advancing, and the odds of any new nuclear deals seriously constraining it seem low, but neither Israel nor America appears keen on striking.

Biden administration’s farcical climate policies to devastate farmers, exacerbate food shortages

I don’t believe Biden is in charge.

There has been much talk of food shortages recently.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Or so say folks like Stephanie Nash, a fourth generation dairy farmer. She and many other farmers are warning that President Biden’s new climate plans will jeopardize our food supply and eventually force many of them out of business. Deliberately.

I apologize for my white baby

How can I extol the virtues of anti-racism while birthing another white person?

I’m here to apologize to my brothers and sisters of color — my white daughter’s pale skin has brought me nothing but shame. I have failed as an ally.
For if whiteness is the root cause of systemic racism, then what does that make me for having a white child? How can I extol the virtues of anti-racism and dismantle white supremacy while simultaneously birthing another white person? These two seem incompatible. If I were truly honoring my commitment to decolonizing white spaces, I would have had my tubes tied or had myself euthanized and done the BIPOC community and the planet a favor. I’m such a coward.

Climate Change Emergency? What a Crock, Part 2

Just last week, congressional Democrats were urging President Joe Biden to declare a climate emergency because some Americans were enduring a patch of hot weather. Though more than a bit meshuga, they couldn’t match the fever of Bill Weir. The CNN chief climate correspondent said, also last week, that “the fate of life on earth is at stake” because Washington isn’t doing more to cool the planet.

Yet again, pieces of a puzzle a pre-schooler could put together in a couple of minutes are missing.

André Pratte: Trudeau’s departure could cause problems for the Liberals in Quebec

“Will Trudeau know when the moment is right for leaving?” was the title of the analysis authored by La Presse’s Bureau Chief on Parliament Hill. In a column published last Tuesday, Joël-Denis Bellavance, a well-informed reporter, speculated that the prime minister might use his vacation time in Costa Rica to reflect on his future. If, as some expect, Justin Trudeau decides not to run for a fourth mandate, his party’s prospects in Quebec could become bleaker.

Footage appears to show fresh atrocity against Ukrainian PoW

Horrific video and photos have emerged that appear to show the head of a Ukrainian prisoner of war stuck on a pole outside a house in the eastern Ukrainian city of Popasna, which was captured by Russian forces in May and is close to the current frontline in the Donbas.

The Ukrainian governor of Luhansk province, Serhiy Haidai, posted the gruesome photo on his Telegram channel. It has since been widely shared on social media. Ukrainians have accused Russian troops of barbaric medieval behaviour and likened the image to Lord of the Rings.
