On Thursday night, the Indiana Fever played the WNBA Wings in Dallas.
And, once the WNBA refs allowed the league’s first superstar to be tackled and mugged on the court.
The attacks last night wer particularly vicious.
At one point in the game Fever star Caitlin Clark was tackled on the basketball court
Note from the author: In my own personal experience – As a longtime basketball player and former NBA HoopItUp Street Ball Champion I can tell you I HAVE NEVER seen a player tackled on a basketball court.
There may have been rough play and fights but never a football tackle!
And, of course, the refs did not call a foul on the play!
What is wrong with this crazy league?
Pulling a players arm like that when in full motion is dangerous @CaitlinClark22 is being attacked and refs should be aware but the whistle is stuck only against her
AGAIN NO FOUL CALLED
Benjamin Brown has a collage of the hits Caitlin took last night.
Also an elbow to the throat for the third time in 3 consecutive games.
Caitlin was fouled several times in this one game but the referees never called one foul.)
(what a local police force could do if the had balls would be to arrest the next player who takes an elbow to Caitlin's
neck or tackles her is to arrest the player. And arrest for obstruction the coach and any player who tries to stop the arrest.
When the game is forfeited, the cops need to go over to the arena microphone and announce the following:
The game has been cancelled. Everyone should go to the ticket booth and demand a complete refund before
you leave. That should bankrupt the owner. because there is no money in women's sports. If the team is in jail,
the new owner can field a team of local high school boys and put wigs on them.

PEPE ESCOBAR: 440kg of 60% enriched uranium missing. Trump Lost His Only Window
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LaVbjEaA9g
Iran was prepared to last until November when the US elections are over and the Democrats begin the Trump's impeachment.
Iran refused to let Qatar intermediate between them and the US, only Pakistan which is backed by China is to mediate.
Trump threatened to blow up Oman so they cannot mediate a new MoU.
Trump was calling Pakistan's Field Marshall Munir almost daily begging for an off ramp.
Trump offered a multi-billion dollar bribe to make IRGC commanding officer General Vahidi to be US puppet commander of Iran.
Even Bangladesh wants to join the Mecca pact if only as an observer like Egypt and Syria. Opposition to the US is growing like wildfire.
China will give Pakistan $10 billion loan to replace IMF. This will suffer the wrath of the US Dollar Mafia Empire
which has been discussing using nuclear weapons on the US
Trump has no idea where Iran's 440kg of 60% enriched uranium is. Iran will detonate an atomic device if the new Ayatollah says Do it.
(North Korea gave the Iranians help to devekop up to 11 atomic bombs.)
Medieval Diseases Have Returned To Los Angeles
by Tyler Durden
In what can only be described as a stunning failure of state and local policy and leadership, Los Angeles County recorded its highest tally of flea-borne typhus cases in 2025, confirming 220 diagnoses, up from 187 the year before, according to the county's Department of Public Health. Almost nine in ten of those patients ended up hospitalized. Fleas that feed on infected rats, opossums, and other small mammals carry the bacteria behind the disease to humans, and Los Angeles has watched the case count climb for years. The 2025 total marks the sharpest jump yet.
Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, examined the county's internal records for City Journal. His team filed public records requests and received a thousand pages of documents from the county health department. What those documents showed is a public health system bracing for outbreaks it had fallen behind on.
"This is about plague rats that have returned," Rufo told Hugh Hewitt on the Salem News Channel. "So we did a story, we did FOIA, we got 1,000 pages of documents from the County Health Department in Los Angeles. And the picture that these documents painted was quite grim. You have a return of typhus, you have outbreaks of hantavirus, you have really a plethora of medieval diseases that are on the rise in LA."
Rufo laid out two forces behind the outbreak. "And there are a couple of causes for this. The first is that the homeless encampments that are scattered, not just in Skid Row, but throughout the city, are the perfect breeding ground for rats. And so now there are millions of rats breeding under the streets of Los Angeles. And the County Health Department admits in these internal documents that they're not ready for these outbreaks," he continued. "And at the same time, you have California Governor Gavin Newsom in two separate pieces of legislation in recent years banning all of the most effective rodenticides, so rat poisons that can keep that population at bay. And when you put those ingredients together, you get something that experts predicted in LA seems powerless to stop, which is typhus, including three deaths from typhus in recent years."

China has firmly rejected Washington's call to join in implementing US sanctions to "squash" Iran's economy, pushing back against Trump administration pressure to be part of the "toughest sanctions in history" which has marked a new phase of conflict focused on extended economic warfare, as a military solution is seen as increasingly unrealistic and unlikely.

Israel hates Vance because he was alleged to leak plans to make a separate Kurdish state on the Borders of Turkey and Iran. But
the Kurds were supposed to take out Erdogan in Turkey.

Turkiye tried to get Interpol to issue a Red Notice for Netanyahu.
The Israelis did an air strike against the Turkish airbase in Syria because they did not want the Syrians to get tanks defend themselves

Israel wants to justify an attack on Turkiye so the Turks will try to invoke article 5, but to no avail. This will break up NATO.

Pentagon Fires Stars and Stripes Publisher, Editor-in-Chief, and Reporter for “Insubordination”
The Pentagon moved Friday to fire three senior employees at the taxpayer-supported military newspaper Stars and Stripes, accusing them of “insubordination” amid an escalating battle over the publication’s direction.
Publisher Max Lederer, Editor-in-Chief Erik Slavin, and Middle East reporter Lara Korte were each served with separation notices and given five days to appeal, according to CBS News.
“According to the notice, I am being fired for stating in a CBS interview that censorship of news for service members would constitute a red line,” Slavin said.
“The Pentagon’s public affairs office has charged me with insubordination. I stand by the principle that Stars and Stripes must remain editorially independent, as required by law and by the department’s own policies.”
During the CBS interview, Slavin described the hypothetical scenario that he said would be unacceptable.
“‘Don’t run a perfectly accurate story, run this instead. Here it is, written by the Pentagon.’ That would be a red line,” he said.
Korte, who covers the Middle East, similarly insisted that she does not work for the Pentagon—even though the outlet operates within the Department of Defense and receives millions of dollars from American taxpayers.
“I’m working for Stars and Stripes. Not for the Pentagon, not for any administration, not for any policymaker,” Korte said during the CBS segment. “I’m here to cover the military community.”
Korte later called the dismissals “a shame for the institution and service members."

Opening a Path to Hearing Others with Alastair Crooke"
Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/solarireport
By Ricardo Oskam
In Northern Italy last week, former British diplomat and intelligence officer Alastair Crooke delivered the opening session at the gathering that concluded the Solari Builders pilot course, sharing lessons learned from a lifetime spent listening to and negotiating with people the West has decided it does not need to hear from. Crooke joined Catherine last May to discuss “Civilization at the Crossroads,” and this week, he is kindly allowing us to publish his fascinating talk on cross-cultural understanding for Solari subscribers.
To begin with, Crooke recounts how, fresh from university, a mentor told him that his mind had become “a perfectly polished Cartesian retort”—and that the kindest thing anyone could do was smash it. His mentor explained that the Western mind pins facts to a clothesline of empirical data and rationalizes its way to a conclusion, triangulating forever between subject and object. While this has made the Western mind a powerful instrument, it has quietly deleted the metaphysics of most of humanity. For a Muslim, Crooke notes, the world is not inert matter waiting to be measured; it is alive, luminous, and a presentation of the divine. To negotiate with such people, you must first accept that they do not think as Westerners do. We are well advised to seek complete understanding.
Crooke’s biography provides clues as to how he honed his listening and negotiation skills. Born in Ireland and raised on a farm outside Harare (in what was then Rhodesia), educated in Switzerland and Scotland, Crooke spent his early career under diplomatic cover with British intelligence in Northern Ireland, South Africa, Cambodia, Colombia, Pakistan, and across the Middle East. He later served as Middle East adviser to EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana, and from that seat helped broker de-escalations and military withdrawals in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the negotiations that ended the 2002 siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. In 2004, Crooke founded Conflicts Forum in Beirut, an effort to open direct dialogue between Western policymakers and entities like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iran. (He pointedly refuses to use the word “terrorists.”)
The heart of his lesson involves the discipline of perception. Drawing on the works of mystic-philosopher Ibn al-‘Arabī, Crooke urges us to see with both eyes, hear with both ears, and understand with our whole being—catching not only what is said but what is left unsaid, and answering argument with empathy rather than rebuttal. In short, he invites us to reassess how we perceive and embrace the world around us. To take back control of how we spatialize our world and expand consciousness—rather than let it be filled with hypermaterialism and prejudice—is the quiet, sovereign work each of us can begin.
As we move through these times of unpredictable change in a world that is indeed alive and intelligent, Crooke’s insights offer each of us inspiration to create our pathway forward.
