Rep. Michael McCaulof Texas, one of the GOP’s most prominent foreign affairs hawks, announced he’d retire on Sunday while warning that, with Russia’s escalation of its invasion of Ukraine, “we got to be very careful not to be on the precipice of a World War III.” McCaul made his statements to ABC News as he discussed last week’s incursion into Polish airspace of Russian drones, which led to NATO scrambling jets to intercept the vehicles. Russia said the intrusion was an error, but Poland and other European countries contended it was intentional. President Donald Trump said it “could have been a mistake.” McCaul said the move was cause for alarm. “We’ve never seen anything like this in recent times,” the congressman said. “And so, what I’m concerned about is that the escalation here and the temperature rising, we got to be very careful not to be on the precipice of a World War III.” McCaul has long pushed Trump to take a tougher stance on Russia and its invasion of Ukraine and he said he thinks the president is “waking up” that Russian President Vladimir Putin “is not negotiating in good faith.” Trump has repeatedly praised Putin over the years and moved to cut off military aid to Ukraine, though he’s reversed course and supported a new increase. He invited Putin to Alaska for discussions last month about a cease-fire in Ukraine but the Russian president has yet to commit to one. “I think he’s manipulating the president as a KGB officer would,” McCaul said of Putin, who used to work for the Russian intelligence service. “The more Putin irritates the president, I think the better we are in terms of defending NATO and Ukraine.” A former anti-terrorism prosecutor and past chairman of the House Homeland Security and Foreign Affairs committee, McCaul, 63, is part of an older generation of foreign policy hawks who’ve tried to counter a younger crop of Republicans who are more skeptical about U.S. intervention elsewhere in the world. McCaul becomes one of at least 10 House members leaving the chamber without seeking higher office, a tally that includes fellow GOP hawk Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska, who’s been increasingly critical of Trump’s response to Putin. McCaul said he would finish his term but that “I’m looking for a new challenge in the same space that would be national security, foreign policy, but just in a different realm.” (AP)
Tornadoes destroyed several homes in southeastern Utah over the weekend, but authorities said there were no reports of people injured. A storm produced two tornadoes in San Juan County in southeastern Utah over the span of an hour starting around 12:35 p.m. Saturday, according to meteorologist Kris Sanders with the National Weather Service’s office in Grand Junction, Colorado. The paths of the tornadoes that touched down near Montezuma Creek likely covered less than 10 miles (16 kilometers), but the weather service hadn’t yet determined their exact tracks or wind speeds, Sanders said by telephone. A survey may be conducted Monday, he said Sunday. Three homes in the area were demolished in the storm, Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren said in a social media post. The 27,000-square-mile (70,000-square-kilometer) reservation stretches into Arizona, New Mexico and Utah and is the largest of any Native American tribe. No injuries were reported, but an unknown number of livestock and pets were reported missing, the Navajo Police Department said in a social media post. Images posted by the department showed the towering column of a tornado surrounded by dark clouds and also a flattened home surrounded by debris. Tornadoes are pretty unusual in that part of Utah, Sanders said, noting that the weather service had only confirmed two there since 1950. (AP)
Severe lapses in Israel’s security—both along the seam line and at busy public transportation hubs—were exposed in the wake of the deadly Ramot terror attack last week. In the past, security guards were stationed at many central bus stations throughout the country. Today, there is no permanent security presence at bus stops, even at bustling stops that draw hundreds of people at sensitive areas in Jerusalem, Israel’s largest city. UTJ MK Uri Maklev has long warned of this vulnerability. Following the deadly 2023 terror attack at a bus stop at the entrance to Jerusalem, Maklev—then Deputy Transportation Minister—made a formal request to the National Security Ministry demanding that it secure central bus stations and hitchhiking stops. “These are sensitive points where dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of passengers gather every hour, and they are a preferred target for attacks,” Maklev wrote at the time. “Security guards must be restored to these locations, and the safety of passengers must be ensured.” Three years later, nothing has changed. According to sources familiar with the issue, the Finance Ministry is the entity effectively preventing the move due to a refusal to budget the associated costs. Instead of securing passengers’ lives, the Finance Ministry chooses to allocate resources to employ ticket inspectors on buses and the light rail. Kikar H’Shabbat also reported last week that on the Erev Shabbos before the attack, Ramot residents complained to the police about the entry of illegal Palestinians into their neighborhoods. Residents of Rechov Yaakov Elazar and Rechov Harry Truman, which overlook a valley in the nearby village of Beit Hanina, have complained to the police several times in recent weeks about breaches in the security fence separating the neighborhoods, allowing infiltrators to freely enter Jewish neighborhoods. But on the Shabbos before the attack, instead of a few Palestinians, a large group of Arab residents from nearby neighborhoods crossed the fence in close proximity to the main roads of Ramot, which at the time were packed with Jews on the way to shul. Ynet reported last week that the breaches in the security fence near the Jerusalem area remained open in the days following the attack, with little to no security forces in sight, while Israel’s security bodies point fingers at each other regarding the responsibility for safeguarding the area. Security officials estimate that at any given time there are about 50,000 illegal Palestinian workers in Israel. A former security official told Ynet, “It is clear that if Israel wanted to hermetically close all the breaches, it would happen, but it doesn’t, and for years upon years, illegal aliens have entered.” He hinted that security officials may turn a blind eye to the issue since the Palestinian workers are good for Israel’s economy as well as the stability of the PA, but “they wake up only when there is an attack.” “It is clear that now, after the attack, they are not thinking at all about letting workers in, but if they want to close the fence, then they should close it hermetically, all the way,” he asserted.

Spanish authorities say more than 100,000 people took part in the latest pro-Palestinian protests that interrupted the final stage of the Spanish Vuelta and forced organizers to cut short the Grand Tour event on Sunday, capping a campaign of disruptions. The central government’s representative for the Madrid region said that authorities estimated more than 100,000 people joined Sunday’s protests. The number could not be independently verified. Fran Martín Aguirre added that two people were detained by police. Visma-Lease a Bike rider Jonas Vingegaard was confirmed as the overall winner of the three-week cycling race. There were clashes between police and protesters near the route finale in Madrid. Some protesters carrying anti-Israel banners partly blocked the road and forced riders to stop. There was no stage winner and the podium ceremony was called off because of security concerns. Organizers said the final stage “ended early to ensure the safety of the riders.” “Due to the protests in Madrid, the race ended earlier than planned and there will be no podium ceremony,” race officials said. There were about 50 kilometers (31 miles) left on the 21st stage that was a mostly ceremonial ride into Madrid. Vingegaard had extended his overall lead over João Almeida on Saturday with a lead of 1 minute, 16 seconds over Almeida. It was Vingegaard’s third Grand Tour title, adding to his pair of Tour de France titles won in 2022 and 2023. Police escort The protesters threw barriers onto the road on a finishing circuit in the Spanish capital. Riders had been expected to do nine laps on the circuit. Several hundred protesters stayed on the road where the race was supposed to pass by. Anti-Israel banners were also hung from nearby buildings. The protests continued well into the evening in Madrid, most of them peaceful. Earlier, protesters threw objects at police and officers used teargas to try to disperse the crowds. Spanish media reported that authorities said 20 people were injured and at least two people were detained. The race had resumed briefly Sunday after riders were originally told by race organizers to stop because of the protests, but they eventually had to stop again as authorities and organizers discussed the situation. Police escorted the riders as they left the track. Protesters carrying Palestine flags jeered when the teams’ support cars passed by them along the route. Police in riot gear had confronted protesters at different points along the route. More than 1,500 police officers had been deployed ahead of the last stage. There had been no major incidents as the riders set off on the 103.6-kilometer (64.3-mile) final stage starting in nearby Alalpardo. Spanish media said tens of thousands of protesters participated. Some 50,000 fans had been expected in the Spanish capital. Diplomatic battleground The Grand Tour event turned into a diplomatic battleground and was largely disrupted by protesters against the presence of Israeli-owned team Premier Tech, which earlier in the race removed the team name from its uniforms. Israel Premier Tech rider Matthew Riccitello finished fifth overall and ended with the white jersey for best youngest finisher overall. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez joined Ireland and Norway in recognizing a Palestinian state last year, and Spain became the first European country to ask a U.N. court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide. Before the protests on Sunday, he called […]

Sometimes I like to ask people who the person in their life is that helped them grow the most and become the best version of themselves. Never once has anyone answered with the person who endlessly criticized them or constantly pointed out their flaws. It is those who love and accept us unconditionally who help us develop our potential. Yet somehow, we rarely direct that same love and acceptance toward ourselves. Instead, we buy into the belief that our inner critic will keep us safe by keeping us in line and protecting us from failure and rejection. But inner criticism doesn’t create the perfect life we hope for. Instead, it breeds anxiety, avoidance, self-doubt, and perfectionism. Self-criticism often undermines motivation because failure feels unbearable. It shuts people down, reinforces shame, and blocks growth. This doesn’t mean we should ignore our faults or struggles. In fact, it is easier to acknowledge flaws in the context of self-love than self-shame. When admitting wrongdoing feels like proof of being unworthy or unlovable, it becomes an existential threat we protect against at all costs. By contrast, unconditional positive regard and acceptance provide the safety to admit mistakes and grow. How, then, can we foster self-compassion in the face of self-criticism? First, it helps to understand that the inner critic is not our enemy but a protector with outdated tactics — overworked and underpaid. If we approach it with curiosity and compassion, we can build a relationship in which it learns to trust us to process hard feelings and navigate the world. When any part of us feels deeply understood, it becomes less rigid and more open to new ways of being. Second, we need to grasp that acceptance and change are not opposites. They form a dialectic: two truths that fuel each other. When I accept myself, I gain the courage to attempt change. When I try to change while holding acceptance, I can experiment and fail without collapsing into shame. It sounds like this: “I accept you exactly as you are, and I believe you can grow and do better.” A simple practice can make this real: the next time you notice your inner critic, pause and gently place your hand on your heart. Say to yourself, “I know you’re trying to keep me safe. Thank you. I can handle this.” Then ask: “What would a loving friend say to me right now?” This small shift plants seeds of self-compassion. This dynamic is not only psychological, it is deeply spiritual. The month of Elul, the Yamim Noraim, and the Aseres Yemei Teshuva are times dedicated to introspection, teshuva, and growth. Sometimes we engage in self-flagellation, mistaking shame for change. But that cycle keeps us stuck. Teshuva is not the work of an inner critic gone wild. It is a return to the pure, pristine Self, the neshama, that remains intact within us Acceptance does not mean complacency. It is not an excuse to ignore our flaws or avoid responsibility. On the contrary, when we accept ourselves as beloved and worthy, we find the strength and courage to do the real work of teshuva — to face our shortcomings honestly, to take responsibility, and to choose differently. Self-compassion is not lowering the bar; it is what allows us to rise to it. Chayi Hanfling […]
In the days following the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, numerous workers have been fired for their comments on his death, among them MSNBC political analyst Matthew Dowd. Several conservative activists have sought to identify social media users whose posts about Kirk they viewed as offensive or celebratory, targeting everyone from journalists to teachers. Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer said she would try to ruin the professional aspirations of anyone who celebrated Kirk’s death. It’s far from the first time workers have lost their jobs over things they say publicly — including in social media posts. But the speed at which the firings have been happening raises questions about worker rights versus employer rights. In the U.S., laws can vary across states, but overall, there’s very little legal protections for employees who are punished for speech made both in and out of private workplaces. “Most people think they have a right to free speech…but that doesn’t necessarily apply in the workplace,” said Vanessa Matsis-McCready, associate general counsel and vice president of HR Services for Engage PEO. “Most employees in the private sector do not have any protections for that type of speech at work.” Add to that the prevalence of social media, which has made it increasingly common to track employees’ conduct outside of work and to dox people, or publish information about them online with the intent of harming or harassing them. Employers have a lot of leeway Protections for workers vary from one state to the next. For example, in New York, if an employee is participating in a weekend political protest, but not associating themselves with the organization that employs them, their employer cannot fire them for that activity when they return to work. But if that same employee is at a company event on a weekend and talks about their political viewpoints in a way that makes others feel unsafe or the target of discrimination or harassment, then they could face consequences at work, Matsis-McCready said. Most of the U.S. defaults to “at-will” employment law — which essentially means employers can choose to hire and fire as they see fit, including over employees’ speech. “The First Amendment does not apply in private workplaces to protect employees’ speech,” said Andrew Kragie, an attorney who specializes in employment and labor law at Maynard Nexsen. “It actually does protect employers’ right to make decisions about employees, based on employees’ speech.” Kragie said there are “pockets of protection” around the U.S. under various state laws, such as statutes that forbid punishing workers for their political views. But the interpretation of how that gets enforced changes, he notes, making the waters murky. Steven T. Collis, a law professor at the University of Texas at Austin and faculty director of the school’s Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center, also points to some state laws that say employers can’t fire their workers for “legal off duty conduct.” But there’s often an exception for conduct seen as disruptive to an employer’s business or reputation, which could be grounds to fire someone over public comments or social media posts. “In this scenario, if somebody feels like one of their employees has done something that suggests they are glorifying or celebrating a murder, an employer might still be able to fire them even with one of those laws on […]
Israel’s Defense Ministry says it has treated nearly 20,000 wounded soldiers since the war with Hamas erupted on October 7, 2023, with more than half of those treated are battling post-traumatic stress disorder and related mental health conditions, according to new ministry data. Officials warn that the influx is straining the Rehabilitation Department, which is now treating about 1,000 new war casualties every month on top of 600 ongoing cases from previous conflicts. Some 9 percent of the wounded have moderate to severe injuries. Fifty-six veterans are classified as having over 100 percent disability — the highest possible designation — with another 24 at 100 percent disability, 16 paralyzed, and 99 amputees fitted with prosthetics. Roughly 45 percent of the 20,000 are physically wounded, 35 percent are coping with PTSD or other mental health conditions, and 20 percent face both. Nearly two-thirds are reservists. The scope of the problem extends beyond the current war. Including veterans of earlier conflicts, the ministry is now caring for 81,700 wounded, more than a third of whom are grappling with mental health challenges. By 2028, officials project that number will swell to 100,000, with at least half requiring treatment for PTSD and related conditions. The financial stakes are equally high. The Rehabilitation Department’s NIS 8.3 billion budget devotes almost half — NIS 4.1 billion — to mental health treatment. Yet staff shortages and mounting demand are overwhelming the system. With a ratio of one rehabilitation worker for every 750 patients, officials warn of bureaucratic bottlenecks, rising suicidality risks, and “new and unique needs” among the latest wave of wounded. In response, Defense Minister Yisrael Katz and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have appointed a public committee, chaired by Prof. Shlomo Mor-Yosef of Leumit Health Services, to recommend an expanded national strategy for treatment and rehabilitation.

President Donald Trump’s administration renewed its request Sunday for a federal appeals court to let him fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve’s board of governors, a move the president is seeking ahead of the central bank’s vote on interest rates. The Trump administration filed a response just ahead of a 3 p.m. Eastern deadline Sunday to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, arguing that Cook’s legal arguments for why she should stay on the job were meritless. Lawyers for Cook argued in a Saturday filing that the Trump administration has not shown sufficient cause to fire her, and stressed the risks to the economy and country if the president were allowed to fire a Fed governor without proper cause. Sunday’s filing is the latest step in an unprecedented effort by the White House to shape the historically independent Fed. Cook’s firing marks the first time in the central bank’s 112-year history that a president has tried to fire a governor. “The public and the executive share an interest in ensuring the integrity of the Federal Reserve,” Trump’s lawyers argued in Sunday’s filing. “And that requires respecting the president’s statutory authority to remove governors ‘for cause’ when such cause arises.” Bill Pulte, a Trump appointee to the agency that regulates mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, has accused Cook of signing separate documents in which she allegedly said that both the Atlanta property and a home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, also purchased in June 2021, were both “primary residences.” Pulte submitted a criminal referral to the Justice Department, which has opened an investigation. Trump relied on those allegations to fire Cook “for cause.” Cook, the first Black woman to serve as a Fed governor, referred to the condominium as a “vacation home” in a loan estimate, a characterization that could undermine claims by the Trump administration that she committed mortgage fraud. Documents obtained by The Associated Press also showed that on a second form submitted by Cook to gain a security clearance, she described the property as a “second home.” Cook sued the Trump administration to block her firing and a federal judge ruled Tuesday that the removal was illegal and reinstated her to the Fed’s board. The administration appealed and asked for an emergency ruling just before the Fed is set to meet this week and decide whether to reduce its key interest rate. Most economists expect they will cut the rate by a quarter point. (AP)
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said over the weekend that he regrets the death of Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya’s son in Israel’s strike in Qatar last week. Speaking in an interview with the terror-supporting Qatari media outlet Al Jazeera, Olmert said, “There are senior Israeli officials who need to be tried for their crimes. The Israeli government gave orders to kill Palestinians. Killing the negotiators means that you don’t want negotiations and you don’t want to release the hostages. I want to say that I’m sorry for Al-Hayya’s son and his wife—they shouldn’t have been victims. We kill terrorists, and we will continue to fight terror.” Olmert also used the platform to attack Netanyahu, claiming, “Netanyahu does not represent us and does not represent Israel. I am making every effort to bring him down.” Likud Minister Miki Zohar responded to the report by stating, “Olmert is a convicted criminal who repeatedly slanders Israel in the world only because he was caught in his corruption and served a prison sentence. He is a dangerous and vengeful man with zero values and is fundamentally corrupt, who receives a platform in some of the media only because he expresses the ‘right opinions.’ What a bushah.” In May, Olmert told the BBC that “what Israel is doing now in the Gaza Strip is close to being a war crime.” (YWN Israel Desk—Jerusalem)
President Donald Trump is once again making George Soros a centerpiece of his political attacks, calling on Saturday for the billionaire Democratic donor to “be put in jail” and reviving his push to prosecute one of the most prominent financiers of liberal causes. The president’s remarks came in an interview with NBC News, just days after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk — an ally whose death has shaken the GOP grassroots. Trump told NBC he wants to see the country “heal,” but added that “we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.” Asked specifically about Soros, Trump didn’t hesitate. “He’s a bad guy,” Trump said. “He should be put in jail.” Soros, 94, has been a longstanding target for Republicans, who cast his philanthropy and political spending as the engine of progressive infrastructure. Last month, in a fiery Truth Social post, Trump threatened Soros and his son Alexander with RICO charges — a law typically reserved for mob bosses, biker gangs and corrupt enterprises. “George Soros, and his wonderful Radical Left son, should be charged with RICO because of their support of Violent Protests, and much more,” Trump wrote. “Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country.” He ended the post with a pointed warning: “Be careful, we’re watching you!” On Friday, Trump leaned in further. Appearing on Fox & Friends, he announced that his administration is “going to look into Soros” for possible RICO violations. That line drew attention given the irony: Trump himself was indicted under the statute in 2023 in a Georgia case alleging election interference. The Open Society Foundations, the network founded by Soros and now chaired by Alexander Soros, rejected Trump’s accusations outright. “The Open Society Foundations do not support or fund violent protests. Allegations to the contrary are false, and the threats against our founder and chair are outrageous,” the group said in a statement. “Our mission is to advance human rights, justice, and democratic principles in the United States and around the world. We stand for fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
IDF forces demolished the home of a Palestinian terrorist who, on May 14 near Bruqin and the Bruchin settlement, fatally shot 30-year-old pregnant Tzeela Gez and injured her husband; doctors performed an emergency surgery to deliver her son, Ravid Chaim, who was tragically nifter two weeks later.
In a recent operation in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, the IDF and Shin Bet report that at least 11 Hamas operatives were killed inside the group’s tunnel network.

On his first official stop during a visit to Israel that began Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived at the Kosel, accompanied by Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. The three placed notes between the cracks of the Kosel. They also joined a prayer led by R’ Mordechai (Suli) Eliav, CEO of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, who oversees the ongoing preservation and education at the site. The wives of the three also attended, standing in the ezras noshim, where they too prayed and inscribed their names in the official guestbook maintained for dignitaries who come to the Kosel. The delegation was then guided by Eliav on a tour of the Kosel tunnels. These tunnels, which run beneath the Old City, allow visitors to witness firsthand the stones and remnants from Bayis Sheini and earlier periods. (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
