The White House posted this photo for May the 4th saying “Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. Youâre not the Rebellionâyouâre the Empire.” The Community Notes points out that the red Lightsaber is actually the color used by the Sith Lords.

Lead: Golden Dome?

Yemen’s Houthis fired a missile into Israel’s Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, wounding six people and causing major delays in air travel.
This isn’t supposed to happen with Israel’s Iron Dome so how did it? The Israeli military says that the missile interceptor system malfunctioned “due to a technical error.” They said that the system has enjoyed a 95% success rate for Houthi attacks.
Israel has pledged retaliation. â Defense Minister Israel Katz said this about the attack: “Whoever harms us will be struck sevenfold in return.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to retaliate on Iran, not Yemen, because he says that the Houthis answer to “their Iranian terror masters.”
The U.S. has been willing to attack Yemen in recent months but The Times of Israel reports that Netanyahu is “frustrated” with the Trump administration for not doing more. The Trump administration has been friendly with Turkey and engaging in diplomacy with Iran, both things that Israeli leaders disapprove of. Netanyahu was also not happy “with former US National Security Adviser Mike Waltz being removed from his position” given how gung ho Waltz was to lead a war with Iran.
Aid to Gaza

Israel says that it will not let aid back into Gaza unless shipments are screened for contraband.
Israel has blocked aid from entering Gaza for months. It now says that they will stop the blockade if two U.S. companies begin to filter the shipments.
Israel has appointed Safe Reach Solutions and UG Solutions to do this. They are two U.S.-based companies with “CIA backgrounds.” That should be enough to disqualify them for anything.
The Israeli cabinet has to approve this and politicians are worried that far-right supporters in Israel who want Gazans to starve will oppose it, according to The Jerusalem Post.
The United Nations says that this proposal is “untenable” because it “would allow military and political objectives to impede humanitarian goals, put restrictions on who is eligible to give and receive aid, and could force large numbers of Palestinians to move, which would violate international law.”
The United Nations hasn’t actually done anything other than condemn the situation for civilians in Gaza so it probably won’t matter what they say.
A lawyer for the U.S. State Department argued that Israel’s own security needs supersede the Geneva convention’s laws on providing aid to civilians.

No U.S. Troops in Mexico

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says that she rejected President Trump’s offer to send U.S. troops to Mexico to fight the drug cartels.
She said this at a university this weekend: “It is true⌠he said, âI propose that the US army enter to help.â And you know what I told him? No, President Trump, our territory is inalienable, our sovereignty is inalienable, our sovereignty is not for sale!â
A statement from the White House said that the U.S. and Mexico are working together but “Mexico must do more to combat these gangs and cartels, and the US stands ready to assist and expand the already close cooperation between our two countries.”
Why do you think that Mexico refuses help to handle the cartels? They clearly don’t “got this.” Could it be as simple an explanation as the fact that the cartels run the Mexican government so no government official could possibly agree to this?
2.5 million. That is how many people attended Lady Gaga’s concert in Brazil this weekend, giving her the record for the highest-attended concert in history by a female artist, according to Variety.
$76 million. That is how much Thunderbolts made at the box office this weekend. That’s low for a Marvel movie but not bad for a lesser known superhero story.

This dad is trending for catching a foul ball in the stands while his daughter covers his eyes.
This photo is trending because a woman says that she enjoyed a pizza with black olives after a movie and people are taking offense with the black olives on pizza.
A new study shows that the Antarctic Ice Sheet has experienced a “mass gain period lasting over three years.” So Antarctica is not melting. Since at least 2021, it has been growing.
Researchers at Tongji University found that Antarctica had lost 142 gigatons of ice per year since 2011 but starting in 2021, that trend began to flip. In the years since, Antarctica has grown by approximately 108 gigatons of ice per year.
Why would this happen? Because this is what glaciers do. They shrink and grow. Climate idiots would have you believe they are supposed to stay at one mass forever but that’s just ignorance. Glaciers are dynamic systems by nature and in a constant state of flux.
