Philippines warns of ‘red line’ with Beijing amid heightened tensions in South China Sea
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has warned that any Filipino soldier killed by a Chinese water cannon would be considered an “act of war,” raising concerns about potential U.S. involvement in the South China Sea conflict.
Speaking at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit in Singapore, Marcos emphasized that both Filipino servicemen and citizens should be protected, indicating that the U.S., a treaty ally, would share this stance.
The Philippines has complained about Chinese ships using water cannons against its vessels. While recent clashes have resulted in injuries, no fatalities have occurred, Fox News reported.

Russia pounds Ukrainian energy facilities with missile and drone barrage
Russian forces launched a widespread missile and drone attack across Ukraine, damaging energy infrastructure in five regions, according to Ukrainian officials.
The national grid operator, Ukrenergo, reported strikes on facilities in Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Kirovohrad, and Ivano-Frankivsk.
Ukrainian air defense shot down 35 of 53 missiles and 46 of 47 drones. Russia’s defense ministry claimed the strikes targeted energy facilities supporting Ukraine’s military and Western-supplied weapon depots.
This marks the sixth major attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure since March, severely impacting thermal and hydropower generation and leading to blackouts, Al Jazeera reports.

Seoul warns public of more balloons being sent from North Korea
Seoul has urged the public to avoid and report any balloons from North Korea, which have been sent carrying trash and excrement across the border.
This follows North Korea’s recent dispatch of hundreds of such balloons, described by South Korea’s Defense Minister Shin Won-sik as “unimaginably petty and low-grade behaviour.”
The balloons are purportedly in retaliation for anti-Pyongyang leaflets sent by defectors and activists in South Korea.
Despite a 2020 South Korean law criminalizing the sending of these leaflets, activists have continued their campaigns, The Guardian reported.

Israel describes permanent cease-fire in Gaza as ‘nonstarter’
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a permanent cease-fire in Gaza, emphasizing that Israel’s conditions for ending the war must be met first.
These conditions include the destruction of Hamas’ military and governing capabilities, the release of all hostages, and ensuring Gaza no longer threatens Israel.
This stance contradicts a cease-fire proposal announced by U.S. President Joe Biden. Netanyahu also accepted an invitation to address Congress, showing support during the conflict.
Biden urged both sides to negotiate an extended cease-fire to release remaining hostages and retrieve bodies, the Associated Press reported.

Donald Trump found guilty of all 34 charges
Former President Donald Trump was found guilty on all counts in a historic criminal trial, becoming the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.
Trump pleaded not guilty, but the jury found him guilty on all counts, with each count carrying a maximum prison sentence of four years, totaling up to 136 years.
Judge Juan Merchan announced the verdict after two days of deliberations, with sentencing set for July 11, just before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is expected to be nominated for the 2024 presidential race.
Despite the conviction, Trump is not barred from running for president, Fox News reported.

Billy The Kid, A American Outlaw
Billy the Kid, born Henry McCarty and also known as William H. Bonney, is one of the most infamous outlaws of the American Wild West. His life was a short but eventful one, filled with tales of lawlessness, escape, and a relentless pursuit by law enforcement.
Henry McCarty was born on November 23, 1859, in an Irish neighborhood in the bustling city of New York. His parents, Catherine McCarty and Patrick McCarty, were Irish immigrants who sought better opportunities in America. The family struggled financially, and Henry’s early years were marked by hardship......

EU Top Diplomat Says Ukraine Has Right To Strike Russian Territory
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called on countries to consider Ukraine’s right to defend itself while balancing the risk of escalation.
Borrell stated that under the law of war, Ukraine has the right to use Western-supplied arms to strike in Russia if necessary.
His remarks came at a meeting with European Union defense ministers in Brussels.
While Ukraine has been pushing for permission to target Russian territory with longer-range weaponry provided by its allies, key backers like the United States and Germany have been cautious due to concerns about escalating the conflict.
Borrell’s call was supported by several defense ministers at the gathering. Dutch minister Kajsa Ollongren highlighted that the Netherlands has no restrictions and hopes other countries will follow suit.
Estonia’s Hanno Pevkur emphasized the need for Ukraine to have the ability to strike back against Russian aggression, Moscow Times reported.

Mormon cricket ‘sludge’ causes crashes in Nevada
Authorities in Nevada issued a warning to drivers after a peculiar incident involving Mormon cricket “sludge” led to multiple crashes over the weekend.
The mashed remains of these insects, combined with recent rainfall, created a slippery substance on roads, resulting in two crashes involving three semi-trucks on Interstate 80, according to the Eureka County Sheriff’s Office.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries reported from these accidents. Emergency services, including fire and Nevada State Police, responded to the incidents and advised drivers to exercise caution due to the unusually slick and unpredictable road conditions caused by the insect residue.
Mormon crickets, known for their cannibalistic behavior, have made headlines in Nevada in recent years, swarming towns and causing disruptions, NBC News reported.

DNC to virtually nominate Biden and Harris to bypass Ohio ballot issues
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has confirmed plans to virtually certify President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominees before Ohio’s Aug. 7 ballot certification deadline and ahead of the in-person convention starting Aug. 19.
This decision, while ensuring timely nomination, departs from the traditional celebratory atmosphere of the convention where the official nomination typically takes place.
Despite the virtual proceedings, the DNC will organize in-person ceremonial events during the convention week in Chicago.
The move comes amidst a special session of the Ohio Senate addressing Biden’s appearance on the state’s ballot, a matter complicated by partisan issues related to campaign finance.
DNC Chair Jamie Harrison emphasized Democrats’ commitment to resolving the conflict internally and ensuring Biden’s presence on the ballot nationwide, ABC News reported.

Judge Cannon rejects request for gag order against Donald Trump in classified docs case
Federal Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a gag order against Donald Trump in the classified documents case, citing prosecutors’ failure to properly confer with Trump’s defense team.
Cannon criticized the lack of meaningful discussion before the request was made and emphasized the importance of adherence to court rules.
She highlighted the ongoing challenges in the case’s filing process as it progresses toward trial.
Cannon stated that prosecutors could reapply for a gag order once Trump’s defense team has had sufficient time to review and discuss the motion, CNN reported.

Man convicted of attacking Pelosi’s husband gets 30-year sentence
David DePape, convicted of assaulting then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in 2022, was re-sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday, reaffirming the original sentence.
The case was reopened to allow DePape to speak during his sentencing hearing, a right initially denied by U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley.
DePape apologized for the attack before being re-sentenced. He had forcibly entered Pelosi’s San Francisco home on October 28, 2022, and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer in a politically motivated assault.
DePape was found guilty of attempting to kidnap a federal officer and assaulting a family member of a federal officer, driven by far-right QAnon conspiracy theories, Reuters reported.

Denver police say drones will respond to 911 calls instead of cops
The Denver Police Department is launching a new program to use drones in responding to 911 calls. This initiative comes after recent budget cuts to fund migrant services.
Despite former Chief Robert White’s earlier opposition to drones, the department will use a $100,000 grant from the Denver Police Foundation to purchase drones and start the program within six to twelve months.
The drones will assist officers by providing real-time information and could potentially respond to calls before officers arrive.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office has been using drones since 2017 for various tasks such as tracking suspects and mapping crime scenes, and is now considering using drones to respond to calls ahead of officers.
However, the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado has raised concerns about privacy and over-policing, particularly in communities of color, the Daily Mail reported.

Consumer confidence rebounds after months of decline
The U.S. consumer confidence index increased to 102 in May, up from 97.5 in April, marking the first rise after three consecutive monthly declines, according to the Conference Board.
This exceeded economists’ expectations of a drop to 96.
The survey component reflecting current economic conditions improved to 143.1 from 140.6, and the expectations index for the next six months rose to 74.6 from 68.8, remaining below the recession threshold of 80 for the fourth month.
Despite steady economic growth and an estimated 3.5% annual GDP growth rate in Q2, 56% of Americans believe the country is in a recession, likely due to persistent high prices, Market Watch reported.

Pope sorry for using gay slur in meeting with Italian bishops
Pope Francis apologized for using a derogatory term about gay men while reaffirming the Catholic Church’s ban on gay priests.
This incident highlighted the tension between the Church’s official stance on homosexuality and the reality of gay men in the priesthood and LGBTQ+ Catholics seeking inclusion.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni addressed the controversy, explaining that Francis used the term during a closed-door meeting with Italian bishops on May 20.
Italian media reported that Francis had jokingly used the term while emphasizing the ban on gay men entering seminaries, the Associated Press reported.

IRS Thief Stole the Files of at Least 50,000 Americans
The IRS thief behind the largest theft of private taxpayer information in U.S. history stole the tax files of 50,000-70,000 individuals and businesses, according to a Wall Street Journal column by a victim.
The thief, Charles Littlejohn, was sentenced to five years in prison, despite committing at least 50,000 felonies but being charged with only one count.
High-profile victims include LeBron James, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, and Michael Jordan.
Littlejohn, who worked as an IRS contractor for Booz Allen, admitted he took the job specifically to steal sensitive data, which was later provided to the progressive organization ProPublica.
The government has not explained why Littlejohn faced only a single charge, and victims have criticized the light sentence.
ProPublica published reports based on the stolen data, coinciding with congressional Democrats and President Biden’s push for a major tax increase.
The organization also proposed a controversial “True Tax Rate” based on unrealized gains, American’s for Tax Reform reported.

Dems in full-blown ‘freakout’ over Biden
A pervasive fear has gripped the Democratic Party over President Joe Biden’s reelection prospects, even among previously confident officeholders and strategists.
As the 2024 election approaches, anxiety has intensified, with private concerns diverging sharply from public statements.
Democrats are worried about Biden’s persistent poor polling and the high stakes of the election, as Trump leads in most battleground states and has outpaced Biden in fundraising.
This unease has grown as Trump campaigns in liberal strongholds and targets Hispanic and Black voters, claiming he can win in these areas, Politico reported.

Israeli Tanks Reach Central Rafah as Global Uproar Grows
Palestinians in Rafah faced a grim scene as they searched through the charred remains after a fire swept through a tent camp, causing widespread panic and destruction.
This incident occurred while Israeli forces advanced into the southern Gaza city, despite international calls to cease their offensive.
The blaze, resulting from an airstrike on Sunday that local officials claim killed at least 45 people, led survivors to desperately flee and later identify their loved ones among the ruins.
Israeli tanks have reached Rafah’s city center for the first time, with nearly a million people fleeing and those remaining enduring severe conditions and attacks.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari reported that Israel is investigating the incident, stating that the IDF targeted two Hamas militants with munitions not capable of causing such a large fire, NBC News reported.

China’s secretive spaceplane releases object into orbit
China’s experimental reusable spacecraft, during its third mission, released an unidentified object into orbit.
This event was cataloged by U.S. Space Force as object 59884 (International designator 2023-195G).
The spacecraft, suspected to be a spaceplane, launched on December 14, 2023, and released the object on May 24 after 164 days in orbit.
Jonathan McDowell from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggested the object might be a subsatellite or hardware ejected before deorbit.
It could also be for proximity and capture maneuvers, similar to tests conducted during the spaceplane’s second mission.
China has kept details about the mission confidential, only issuing a brief launch report stating that the mission aims to verify reusable technology and conduct space science experiments, Space News reported.

MLB says robot home plate umpires unlikely for 2025
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred announced that robot umpires are unlikely for 2025 due to ongoing technical issues and insufficient progress in minor leagues.
MLB has been testing the automated ball-strike system (ABS) since 2019, using a combination of robot umpires and human umpires with a challenge system.
Players’ feedback favors the challenge system, preserving the skill of catcher framing.
Manfred emphasized the importance of careful implementation, citing the success of the 2023 pitch clock introduction and minor rule adjustments this year.
Discussions with the players’ association about ABS are pending, ABC News reported.
