West not prepared for conflict with China – FT

Biden: Netanyahu must stop Israeli judicial reform - NYT

US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby and White House Press Secretary Karin Jean Pierre both refused to confirm an Oval Office invite for Netanyahu despite multiple public queries.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu risks harming American-Israel ties if he rushes to slam through judicial overhaul legislation without securing broad political consensus for such reform, US President Joe Biden told The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman.

Biden was so concerned about the issue that he had invited Friedman to converse with him for over an hour in the Oval Office on Tuesday, just one day after the US president had spoken by phone with Netanyahu.

Israel is on a slippery slope from democracy to autocracy - opinion

The government is leading smaller attacks on Israelis' freedom that aren't related to judicial reform.

The shift from democracy to autocracy is not an overnight thing. It’s not as if we wake up one morning and realize, “Wow, now I live in an autocratic state!” Rather, it is a slow slide down a slippery slope of minor attacks on our freedom that we accommodate, especially if it does not affect us dramatically at the moment.

Jews who lived in Germany during the early days of the rise of national socialism, for example, have related that they simply did not believe things could get as bad as they eventually did, and so they accommodated the minor changes in life, never thinking that they were on a train ride to disaster, and the loss of all of their freedom.

Scandal-Plagued Stanford President Resigns After Review Finds 'Significant Flaws' In Studies He Ran

The president of Stanford University has resigned after an independent review of his prior research found 'significant flaws' in studies he supervised going back decades.

Marc Tessier-Lavigne announced on Wednesday that he would resign as president of Stanford after the review, conducted by an outside panel of scientists, found that an important 2009 Alzheimer's study contained "multiple problems," and "fell below customary standards of scientific rigor and process," but that it did not include falsified data which Tessier-Lavigne then covered up.

The banks do this when they suspect some form of bank fraud. But experts say in the majority of cases, no fraud is ever found, leaving customers to wonder, Why Me?

When we met Elad Nehorai and his family, they had been at a Bank of America branch in West Los Angeles for hours trying to get access to their life savings. That morning, when Nehorai tried to log into his online bank account, he got an alert.

Ahead of a major hearing scheduled to take place in the House next week, National Security Council Coordinator John Kirby told reporters Tuesday that UFOs are having a “real impact” on the ability of U.S. Air Force pilots to operate.
