World deprived of 1 billion barrels of oil over past 2 months, Saudi Aramco CEO says

The world has been deprived of about 1 billion barrels of oil over the past two months as Iran has blocked the Strait of Hormuz amid its war with the US and Israel, and even if energy flows resume it will take time for the system to return to normal, the chief executive of Saudi oil giant Aramco says.

“Our objective is simple: keep energy flowing, even when the system is under strain,” Amin Nasser tells Reuters in a statement. The strait is a key pathway for the global oil supply.

A senior IDF officer told Kan News that Hezbollah is increasingly concerned about regional isolation, but still refuses to give up its weapons.

A senior IDF officer told Kan News that Hezbollah is increasingly concerned about regional isolation, partly due to the possibility of losing Iranian backing, but the organization still refuses to give up its weapons. The security establishment recognizes a real fear among the organization’s leadership of a scenario of political and military isolation, especially in light of the possibility that full Iranian backing will not be available to them as in the past.

Abbas advisor: Hamas seeks to rule Gaza ‘even over the skulls of children’

PA advisor Mahmoud Al-Habbash slams Hamas for ruling “over the skulls of children” in Gaza.

In a remarkably blunt critique of the Hamas terror organization, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, a senior advisor to Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas, accused the group of prioritizing its own survival and power over the lives of innocent civilians. Speaking on the Al-Arabiya Network’s Mazeej Podcast on April 29, 2026, Al-Habbash laid out a scathing indictment of the group’s conduct since the outbreak of the current war. His remarks were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “I am worried that Hamas’s top priority is to continue to rule Gaza, even over the skulls of children. I am worried that this is the case,” he said.

Report: Israel built secret base deep inside Iraq before Iran war

Seeking to shorten the route to Iran, Israel set up a covert outpost in the Iraqi desert that served as a “logistics hub” and a base for Israeli Air Force units. Iraqi forces that approached the site were attacked from the air. The US was aware of the operation but did not take part in the strikes.

A report in the US newspaper The Wall Street Journal revealed that Israel established a secret military outpost in the Iraqi desert before the outbreak of the war. The facility was built with the knowledge of the United States and was intended to support Israel’s aerial campaign against Iran, according to people familiar with the matter, including US officials.

US weighs long-term military presence in Israel

Close cooperation with the IDF during Operation Roaring Lion is prompting a review of a long-term US presence in Israel. Security officials say there are “no operational restrictions.” US military personnel worked from Israel’s underground central command center and were exposed to the IDF’s capabilities, as well as its weaknesses.

In light of the close and effective cooperation between the Israel Defense Forces and the US military, Israeli security officials believe the Americans are considering moving forces to Israel from other countries in the region, or at the very least leaving a significant number of forces in Israel for the long term. The assessment is based, among other things, on the fact that unlike other countries in the region, Israel imposes no restrictions on US military activity. In addition, the US military has been given a close look at the IDF’s capabilities, above all the power of the Israeli Air Force.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announces first cabinet reshuffle since Assad ouster - report

No official reason was given for the changes.

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced a series of government changes in late-night presidential decrees published by state news agency SANA. Sharaa appointed Khaled Zaarour as information minister, replacing Hamza Mustafa, who was moved to the foreign ministry. As agriculture minister, he named Bassel Sweidan, who also heads a committee tasked with reaching settlement agreements with business tycoons linked to the Assad-era elite. Sharaa replaced governors in the provinces of Homs, al-Quneitra, and Deir Ezzor, the eastern province where most of Syria’s oil fields are located.

Trump Congratulates Incoming Iraqi Leader, Who Moves To Disarm Pro-Iran Militias

Washington is not yet giving Zaidi a “blank check,” but at the same time, it is not treating him as an adversary.

A committee comprising three senior Iraqi figures is close to finalizing an “executive plan” to disarm factions within the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) that enjoy support from Iran, Asharq Al-Awsat reported on 8 May. Development of the plan, which will be presented to US officials in the next few days, comes amid expected changes to the leadership of key security agencies under the incoming government of Ali al-Zaidi. Zaidi was nominated by the Shia-majority Coordination Framework (CF) political bloc on April 27 as the consensus candidate to succeed Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. According to sources speaking to the Saudi newspaper, the three-member committee includes Zaidi, Sudani, and the leader of the Badr Organization, Hadi al-Amiri.

Is the Socialist-Islamist alliance finally over?

Qatar supports terrorism, but due to its enormous pool of money, it has successfully subverted the West, writes Qatari defector Khalid Al-Hail

Khalid Al-Hail is a defector from the Qatari ruling establishment, the president of the Qatar National Democratic Party, and the country’s most prominent opposition spokesman. Now living in exile in the United Kingdom, he is a successful international businessman and the leading advocate for democratic reform in Qatar, known for exposing the regime’s state-backed influence operations and media manipulation abroad. I can’t believe how petty this sounds, but I really think western socialists are frightened that the fall of the Ayatollahs will split their vote base. Why on earth else would people whose hearts bled for Palestine be back out in the streets supporting a regime which has matched the death toll of Gaza in just a few months? The clue is in the prevailing ideology of the Western intelligentsia. The signs have been visible for years.

Russia said to be sending Iran drone parts via Caspian Sea, bypassing Hormuz blockade

According to New York Times, shipments could help Tehran quickly restock its drone arsenal amid ceasefire, while evading both sanctions and tense routes through Persian Gulf

Russia is sending drone components to Iran via Caspian Sea shipping, US officials told the New York Times in a report published Saturday, turning the world’s largest lake into a key conduit for both covert and overt trade. According to the sources, who spoke to the American outlet on condition of anonymity, the long-overlooked trade corridor is helping Iran rebuild its military capabilities in the wake of the US-Israeli bombing campaign that ended last month in a tenuous ceasefire.

Trump announces three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine

President Donald Trump announced a three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, coinciding with Russia’s Victory Day parade.

“I am pleased to announce that there will be a THREE DAY CEASEFIRE (May 9th, 10th, and 11th) in the War between Russia and Ukraine. The Celebration in Russia is for Victory Day but, likewise, in Ukraine, because they were also a big part and factor of World War II,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social. In his own statement, Zelensky justified his change in position with the prisoner of war exchange, saying, “Red Square is less important to us than the lives of Ukrainian prisoners who can be brought home.”

Putin thinks Ukraine war ‘coming to an end’ as three-day ceasefire goes into effect

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Saturday that he thinks the Russia-Ukraine war “is coming to an end,” the same day a three-day ceasefire between the two countries went into effect.

President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Friday, saying it would be in effect over the weekend and through Monday. The ceasefire started the same day as Russia held its Victory Day Parade, an annual military celebration that commemorates the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. The parade notably did not feature ground equipment, despite the event historically showcasing Russia’s military prowess. Russian forces recorded a net territorial loss in April, the first time that’s happened since August 2024, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Ukraine’s long-range drone attacks have been increasingly reaching further into Russian territory, sparking fears that Ukraine could strike within Moscow on the day of the parade.

Putin names condition for meeting with Zelensky

Face-to-face negotiations can take place, but only after a final long-term peace agreement is fully prepared, the Russian president has stressed

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that a meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky could take place “anywhere,” including in a third country, but only after a final long-term peace agreement is fully prepared and ready for signing.
“The Ukrainian side and Mr. Zelensky, they are ready to have a personal meeting... We have never refused,” Putin said during a press conference after Victory Day celebrations on May 9. “We can meet in the third country as well, but only after there is an ultimate agreement regarding a peace deal that must be a long-term deal.”

Germany’s Merz threatens Slovak PM over Victory Day trip to Moscow

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman hit back, saying Europe would be a “concentration camp” without the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has hit back at German Chancellor Friedrich Merz after he criticized Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico for attending Victory Day celebrations in Moscow. Merz said he “deeply regretted” Fico’s trip and claimed it did not reflect the EU’s “common view,” speaking at a press conference in Stockholm on Saturday. “We will talk with him about this day in Moscow today,” he said. “We are celebrating Europe Day here in Stockholm today. And this is something completely different.”

Germany: Poll shows AfD on verge of absolute majority in eastern Saxony-Anhalt just 4 months before election

AfD is closer to controlling a German state government than ever, but there are still four months to go until election day

With just one more point on election day, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) is closing in on producing a political earthquake. According to a recent poll by Infratest dimap, the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is pushing its lead even further, now at 41 percent. The poll also shows that for the CDU, establishing a government is becoming more difficult, especially since any realistic option besides the AfD appears to be a minority government. There are just four months until election day, and much could change until then, but the AfD appears to be only gaining momentum, not only in the state, but also nationwide, where it just hit a record of 28 percent in the latest Insa survey.

Trump Considering Moving the Troops Withdrawn From Germany to Poland

Goodbye Germany, hello Poland?

We have been reporting here on TGP about the repercussions of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s offensive comment about the US operations in the Middle East, and the fierce response by Donald J. Trump, as you can read in Trump Hits Back at Germany’s Merz for Suggesting that Iran ‘Is Humiliating the US’, as Foreign Minister Wadephul Tries To Walk Back the Absurd Comments by failing Chancellor. This is an unforced error by Merz that showed his true colors and his lack of appreciation for his US allies.

With Polish conservatives crashing in the polls, is Morawiecki getting nervous?

Former PM Mateusz Morawiecki has assured his party that he will not be leaving, but changes are needed to beat Donald Tusk’s camp

According to the latest CBOS poll, the Civic Coalition (KO) widened its lead over Law and Justice (PiS) in May, while support for the right-wing Confederation also increased compared to the mid-April survey. Meanwhile, Grzegorz Braun’s Korona party would also enter the Sejm. The ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk polled at 30.8 percent, a drop of 1.2 points from its April showing. And in what the Do Rzeczy news portal called “disastrous” results for PiS, the party led by Jarosław Kaczyński saw a slight increase in support, from 18.2 percent to 19.6 percent, but still lags KO by over 11 points.

Incoming Hungarian PM forced by Brussels to dismiss brother-in-law as justice minister over charges of nepotism

Péter Magyar has not even taken office yet, but from EU funds to border breaches, things are definitely “getting real” and Brussels is watching

Péter Magyar’s government has not yet been formed, but one of the ministerial candidates has already had to resign — in fact, it is his brother-in-law, Márton Melléthei-Barna. Magyar’s had initially tried to appoint him head the justice ministry. As Remix News reported last week, Lászlo Toroczkai, leader of Hungarian right-wing party Our Homeland, had expressed his shock that Magyar was committing the same nepotism he had attacked Fidesz for. What’s more, Melléthei-Barna is a former employee of Oppenheim Law Firm, which represented Meta against Toroczkai when he sued the Marc Zuckerberg-owned tech behemoth for alleged rampant censorship he and his party faced on both Facebook and Instagram.

Spain’s Socialist Government Is Sacrificing Its Own Police to Ruthless Drug Cartels — Another Officer Dead as Spain Becomes Europe’s Weak Link for Drugs and Illegal Migration

Picture Mexican and Colombian cartels using high-speed go-fast boats to flood cocaine and hashish into the U.S. via Florida or California, while U.S. agents chase them in outdated vessels — all while millions of illegal immigrants pour across the border using the same smuggling networks.

Replace the U.S. southern border with Spain’s southern coast, and that’s the crisis unfolding in Europe right now under Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s government. Americans familiar with border security debates at home will recognize the pattern: when politicians deprioritize enforcement, criminals and cartels exploit the vacuum.

French police catch Moroccan migrant in the middle of raping a young woman in a Paris public restroom

He was placed in deferred police custody due to his condition, and an investigation was opened for rape.

LANE: Starmer’s Epic Election Fail May Have Paradoxically Saved His Political Skin… For Now

The conventional wisdom for months has been that Britain’s Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, is cooked, finished, insert your metaphor here.

He was done long ago, it has been said, and has only been kept around by his Labour party until now, to take the fall for their inevitable drubbing at the ‘midterm’ elections, so as not to sully the shiny new leader with the air of failure. Now that the job is done, he should be on his way post haste so his replacement can save the Labour Party and lead Britain to a socialist utopia. A fine idea as it goes, except it doesn’t seem to be happening. In his blinkered way, the Prime Minister absolutely refuses to go of his own free will, and those few in the party who could move against him seem to have blinked at the crucial moment. Is it possible that Sir Keir Starmer has failed so hard that he pulled the rug out from under the feet of the plotters, too?

Pentagon declassifies UFO files

The documents detail reports of mysterious objects and aerial encounters involving US military personnel

The Pentagon has declassified and released a batch of government files on unidentified flying objects (UFOs), describing the move as a “historic transparency effort.” The release, published on a dedicated page on the website of the US Department of War, contains hundreds of documents, videos, intelligence reports, and witness accounts spanning decades, including FBI interviews, NASA mission transcripts, military pilot testimony, US State Department cables, and archival imagery tied to unexplained aerial incidents. Among the newly released material are reports describing “metallic objects,” unexplained “red lights” in the sky, and aerial encounters involving US military personnel.

4 Key Points From New White House Counter-Terror Strategy

The new strategy document lists cartels and violent left-wing groups, alongside Islamic extremists, as the three major terror threat categories...

President Donald Trump’s administration rolled out its new counterterrorism strategy overview on May 6, articulating recent policy shifts and new pledges going forward. The 16-page strategy guide seeks to articulate an “America First” approach to dealing with militants, extremists, and criminal enterprises. “For the 25th Anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, America has returned to a common sense and reality-based Counterterrorism Strategy,” the document states. “President Trump has [effected] a complete revision of how we defeat threats to America predicated on national sovereignty and civilizational confidence and the objective of destroying the groups who would kill Americans or hurt our interests as a free nation.”

REPORT: As People Flee New York City Over Mamdani’s Policies, NYC Public School Enrollment is Going to Drop Dramatically

As New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani implements his new policies, there has been a lot of talk about wealthy people fleeing the city, but that is only part of the story.

Everything is connected on some level. As people leave the city, the number of children enrolled in their public schools is going to drop, which will have other rippling effects. At some point, too much of the foundation is eroded away and things start to crumble. Then the real problems begin.

Over 100 Passengers and Crew Stricken with Highly Contagious Norovirus on Caribbean Princess Cruise Ship

Another cruise ship nightmare is making headlines and this time, more than 100 passengers and crew members reportedly fell ill aboard the Caribbean Princess during a norovirus outbreak.

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that causes acute gastroenteritis, the inflammation of the stomach and intestines. Often called the “stomach flu” or “stomach bug,” it is unrelated to influenza. It causes sudden, severe vomiting and diarrhea, with symptoms typically lasting 1 to 3 days. It spreads rapidly via contaminated food, water, or surfaces.

WATCH: Trump Responds to Journalist Asking if He Will Rejoin WHO Over Hantavirus

President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter on Friday whether he would reconsider rejoining the World Health Organization in light of the ongoing hantavirus outbreak aboard a cruise ship.

The question came as Trump was speaking to the press on the South Lawn of the White House while departing for an event in Sterling, Virginia. A reporter pressed the President on the hantavirus situation, beginning with asking if he had an update on the virus. “We have it,” Trump responded. “We have very good people looking at it. It seems to be okay. They know the virus very well. They’ve worked with it for a long time.”

Hantavirus: Stop The Spread Is Back

Is “flatten the curve” next?

Hollywood loves a good sequel and so does politics and pharmaceutical development. Since Covid, there have been several attempted disease scares – Mpox, Swine flu, Bird flu, Chikungunya, Measles – but nothing has really caught the attention of audiences like the new Hantavirus frenzy. Today’s evidence comes from DRUDGE REPORT: global effort to stop the spread. Is “flatten the curve” next? Let’s remember how this began last year, with of course, a hantavirus death in the family of one of America’s most beloved Hollywood actors. It was Betsy Arakawa, Gene Hackman’s wife, who died February 12, 2025, from apparent hantavirus infection from rodents in the home. Terrifying image.

Michael Burry says the market today feels like ‘the last months of the 1999-2000 bubble’

Michael Burry of “Big Short” fame is warning that the stock market’s fixation on artificial intelligence is beginning to resemble the final stages of the dot-com bubble.

“Absolutely non-stop AI. Nobody is talking about anything else all day,” Burry wrote Friday in a Substack post after listening to financial television and radio coverage during a long drive. The investor, best known for predicting the U.S. housing crash, said stocks are no longer reacting meaningfully to economic data such as jobs reports or consumer sentiment in a logical way. The S&P 500 rose to a fresh record high Friday as traders focused on a slightly better-than-expected April jobs report rather than a record low reading in consumer sentiment.

Treasury Yields Are Back at 1998 Levels. America Is Not

The year was 1998. Titanic was still pulling people into theaters. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa were chasing Roger Maris’s home run record. And the Dow Jones Industrial Average had punched through 9,000 for the first time.

The Cold War was over. The Internet and cell phones were starting to take off. And America’s biggest problem was the President getting frisky in the Oval Office. The US economy was certifiably booming in 1998; unemployment was at a thirty-year low, the economy was growing leaps and bounds, and Washington was, by its own modest standards, somewhat functional. The federal government had just posted its first budget surplus in three decades, and America’s debt-to-GDP ratio was falling. Plus there was zero geopolitical competition. China was still an impoverished backwater. Russia was toast. The euro didn’t even exist yet.

Paris Prosecutors Move to Criminally Charge Musk and xAI

The investigation started with an algorithm complaint from a Macron ally and now includes charges ranging from Holocaust denial to child exploitation.

Paris prosecutors announced Thursday that their investigation into Elon Musk’s social platform X has been upgraded to a full criminal probe. The Paris prosecutor’s office is now asking investigating magistrates to formally charge Musk, former X CEO Linda Yaccarino, and three companies linked to the platform, including xAI and X.AI Holdings Corp. If they refuse to appear for those charges, prosecutors say judges can issue warrants that carry the same legal weight. The charges cover a long and growing list of alleged offenses: Complicity in possessing and distributing sexual images. Nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes. Denial of crimes against humanity. Fraudulent extraction of user data. Violation of the secrecy of electronic correspondence. Manipulation of an automated data processing system as part of an organized group. Illegal collection of personal data without adequate security.

Google Broke reCAPTCHA for De-Googled Android Users

The company that decides whether you’re a bot now also requires you run its software to prove otherwise.

Google has tied its next-generation reCAPTCHA system to Google Play Services on Android, meaning anyone running a de-Googled phone will automatically fail verification when the system decides to challenge them. The requirement forces Android users to run Google’s proprietary app framework version 25.41.30 or higher just to prove they’re human. When reCAPTCHA flags what it considers suspicious activity, it abandons the old image puzzles and demands you scan a QR code. That scan requires Play Services running in the background, communicating with Google’s servers. If you’re using GrapheneOS or any other custom ROM that strips out Google’s software, the verification fails.

JD Vance holds chilling closed-door summit with America’s most powerful men as horrifying global threat menacing hospitals spirals

JD Vance was shaken.

The technology he’d spent months championing was now threatening to tear through America’s banks, hospitals and water plants. On an April phone call with the country’s most powerful tech executives, the Vice President sounded the alarm on the runaway dangers of their own creations. On the line were some of the richest men on the planet: Elon Musk, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google chief Sundar Pichai and Microsoft‘s Satya Nadella. ‘We all need to work together on this,’ Vance reportedly told them. The Vice President, whose Silicon Valley ties made him the White House pointman on AI, now had a stark warning for his allies: bring your technology under control. It marks a stunning about-face.

Pastor leads dedication ceremony to golden statue of Trump

According to a report from the National Post, a towering gilded statue of President Donald Trump has sparked controversy after its unveiling this week at Trump National Doral in Miami, with critics drawing comparisons to biblical idolatry.

The 15-foot (about 4.6-meter) bronze statue, nicknamed “Don Colossus,” depicts Trump raising his fist in a moment echoing his survival of an assassination attempt in 2024. Covered in gold leaf—a material long associated with the president’s personal aesthetic—the monument was financed by cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and Trump supporters. Its creator waited months for full payment before the piece was finally installed. Televangelist Mark Burns, a Trump ally who led the dedication ceremony on Wednesday, moved quickly to address concerns that the statue crossed into forbidden idol worship, a concept explicitly banned in the Ten Commandments. He referenced the biblical golden calf that provoked Moses’ anger.

South Korea has just unveiled and named its first humanoid robot monk

A groundbreaking moment unfolded in Seoul on Wednesday as artificial intelligence stepped into the realm of spirituality. A humanoid robot named Gabi officially joined South Korea’s largest Buddhist sect, the Jogye Order, becoming the nation’s first robotic monk ahead of Buddha’s birthday celebrations.

The 4-foot-3-inch (1.3-meter) robot, dressed in traditional gray and brown robes with a beaded rosary and black shoes, participated fully in the ceremony at Jogye Temple. Gabi led monks in chanting during a lantern-decorated procession, folded its hands in prayer, and bowed respectfully to officiating monks. In a pivotal exchange that underscored the blend of technology and faith, a monk asked Gabi: “Will you devote yourself to the holy Buddha?” The robot replied, “Yes, I will devote myself.” The questions continued regarding devotion to the holy teaching, with Gabi affirming each time.

UFO expert says government is still hiding information from us — and we couldn’t handle the truth anyway

According to a report from the New York Post, long-time UFO researcher Dennis Anderson has expressed deep skepticism over the Pentagon’s recent release of more than 160 previously classified files on UFOs and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), claiming it falls far short of true transparency.

The Department of War made the documents and videos public on Friday as part of an ongoing declassification effort under the current administration, featuring unexplained footage from Apollo missions, Middle East operations, and other encounters. Officials have promised additional, even more compelling material in future releases, framing the move as a commitment to openness after decades of limited disclosure.

Archaeologists uncover massive artifact depicting pharaoh thought to have challenged Moses in Exodus

Officials say statue weighs up to 6 tons and was likely transported from the ancient city of Pi-Ramesses

Archaeologists in Egypt recently uncovered a massive statue believed to depict King Ramses II, the pharoah believed to be a major character in the Old Testament. The statue was found at the Tel Pharaoh site in Husseiniya Center, Sharqia Governorate, the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said on April 22. The site is in Egypt’s Nile Delta, northeast of Cairo. Officials also described the statue as “remarkable” in size, weighing between 5 and 6 tons and measuring over 7 feet long. In a translated statement, the ministry described the statue as being in a “relatively poor condition of preservation,” with its legs and base missing. Still, officials described the statue as “likely represent[ing] King Ramses II.”

The Great Pyramid’s secret architecture: New research claims inner voids are ancient construction highways

For over four millennia, the Great Pyramid of Giza has stood as a testament to ancient ambition, its very existence posing a monumental question: how was it built?

As noted by BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, while Egyptologists have long theorized about massive external earth ramps, engineers have questioned the practicality of such structures, noting the need for a ramp nearly a mile long to reach the summit at a workable slope. A groundbreaking new study now offers a compelling solution, suggesting the builders ingeniously used the pyramid’s own skeleton as a construction highway. Published in the March 2026 edition of NPJ Heritage Science, research by computer scientist Vicente Luis Rosell Roig presents a sophisticated model centered on an edge ramp, a hidden, internal spiral pathway that allowed workers to haul stones upward within the growing structure itself. This theory challenges the image of vast, resource-heavy external ramps and provides a new lens through which to view the pyramid’s mysterious internal voids.
