(AP) — Residents of St. Petersburg, Russia’s second-largest city, were told not to leave their homes after a “large-scale” Ukrainian drone attack targeted the city Saturday morning, underscoring Kyiv’s growing ability to hit deep inside Russia, a day after the Russian president refused an offer to meet his Ukrainian counterpart.

St. Petersburg Gov. Alexander Beglov advised the residents not to go outside and warned of possible disruptions to mobile internet service, while Regional Gov. Alexander Drozdenko said 141 drones were shot down over the surrounding Leningrad region.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 376 Ukrainian drones.

Although no casualties were immediately reported, the renewed attack on St. Petersburg is the latest embarrassing blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to cast the conflict as a distant event that doesn't affect Russian daily life.

“Henry Nowak was stabbed 5 times, then handcuffed and left to die because someone accused him of being racist. We asked UK police what kind of speech could get you arrested. They told us saying something offensive was enough. Henry Nowak died because of police like this.” — Investigative reporter Muckraker

As The Gateway Pundit has reporte in recent days, 18-year-old Henry Nowak, a promising Polish-British university student, was brutally stabbed five times in Southampton on December 3, 2025, by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa, a British Sikh wielding a large dagger (alongside a kirpan). Digwa then lied to arriving officers, falsely claiming Nowak had racially abused him and assaulted him.

Bodycam footage, released with the family’s permission, shows the dying teenager pleading “I’ve been stabbed” and “I can’t breathe” repeatedly while officers handcuffed him on the ground.

One officer even replied, “I don’t think you have, mate.” Nowak died in police custody, humiliated and in handcuffs, because the system prioritized a false “racism” allegation over a bleeding victim.

...When police are trained that “racism” allegations (even from the actual perpetrator) must be taken at face value and acted upon immediately, while actual violence takes a backseat, innocent people die. This is two-tier policing in its most grotesque form — as The Gateway Pundit and voices like Nigel Farage have warned.

June is considered LGBTQ+ Pride Month in the United States, Canada, and many other nations. Throughout the month various activities, including Pride Parades, will be taking place in celebration and honor of the LGBTQ+ community and sexual diversity. But this celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride points to something the Bible warns against time and time again—and it is not just sexual immorality.

As the name suggests, at the heart of Pride Month and other Pride celebrations and even the idea of Pride is the sin of pride... But God “opposes the proud” (James 4:6)...

Pride comes from a rebellious heart that rejects the benevolent authority of the Creator. A proud person ultimately claims to know better than God and his Word and believes that inventing our own rules and celebrating our own choices, achievements, and desires is greater than what God has commanded in his Word. It’s a movement that puts the focus squarely on us rather than on God.

Humanity’s first sin was really an example of pride... Deceived by the serpent, Eve believed God was selfishly withholding equality that she wanted, so she took the fruit and ate before offering it to Adam, who also ate. At the heart of their rebellion was pride in their own thinking and lust after what they wanted. But it broke creation (Romans 8:22) and brought death and the curse into what was, moments before, a “very good” creation (Genesis 1:31).

Pride is the root of all sin. Pride puffs one up with a false sense of independence. Proud people always feel that they can live independently from God and from other people. Proud people feel entitled to do what they want when they want to.”

The battle over marriage and gender being waged right now in the church is about much more than the institution of marriage or the binary nature of gender. It is ultimately about pride. Will we allow God, our Creator and Judge, to be our authority, or will we exalt our own beliefs and opinions (or those of our sinful culture) above God and his Word? Will we elevate ourselves to judge and dishonor God, like Eve, thinking he is capriciously withholding something good from us?

Over this next month, rainbow-colored flags will flutter in parades, and many people will adorn rainbow-themed attire to celebrate Pride. But these individuals are not truly celebrating sexual diversity. They are celebrating rebellion against God (ironically, while using the rainbow, a symbol God already gave meaning to in Genesis 9:8–17).

A silent war is playing out across rural America.

Residents are packing themselves into local county meetings in incredible numbers and calling on their representatives to oppose gargantuan data center projects, developments that could cause electricity prices to spike, drain water supplies, and generate copious amounts of noise.

Farmers are being hailed as heroes for rejecting millions of dollars to turn their land into data centers, while claims of the facilities bringing jobs to the area are being met with incredulity and frustration.

In short, the AI backlash has grown immensely over the past year or so... 

According to a new Heatmap poll, at least seven in ten Americans would oppose a data center being built near their home. That’s a seismic shift from last September, when a similar poll found only 42 percent of Americans were opposed.

The widespread opposition has turned into a rare bipartisan issue, with conservatives and liberals joining sides to an astonishing degree.

Case in point, a planned data center in the broader Salt Lake City region in Utah, backed by Canadian businessman and TV personality Kevin O’Leary, will overtake a swathe of land twice the size of Manhattan — while only generating 2,000 permanent jobs.

Worse yet, the region is already facing a water crisis, a dire environmental predicament that could be made far worse by the development.

Two U.S. lawmakers are set to introduce a bill aimed at preventing Chinese-connected vehicles from entering the United States via Canada and Mexico, amid growing concerns over Chinese-made electric vehicles entering the Canadian market.

The bill would prohibit connected vehicles from China and other "adversarial nations" from entering the United States, including vehicles made or designed in China, as well as vehicles made by a Chinese company or an entity more than 15 percent owned by Chinese companies, according to a May 28 press release from Stevens's office.

...national security laws in countries such as China can compel manufacturers and suppliers to share data with their home governments or police, increasing the risk that Canadian data could be exploited.

A one-page readout on the U.S. bill says connected vehicles would threaten U.S. national security if the information collected "were to fall into the hands of our adversaries."

"Vehicles today can collect and transmit massive amounts of data - geolocation of drivers, mapping of critical infrastructure, full-motion video, and more," the readout says.

Connected vehicles could also be "remotely accessed and tampered with," presenting a "tremendous" risk to U.S. safety and security, the readout says, noting the Chinese auto industry is heavily subsidized, allowing Beijing to "undercut competitors and quickly flood new markets."

"The Chinese Communist Party should never have access to sensitive information about American drivers, roads, or critical infrastructure," Stevens said in a statement, adding that the bill would "close dangerous loopholes" that currently allow Chinese connected vehicles to enter the United States through Canada and Mexico.

Healthcare costs shouldn’t eclipse the cost of owning a home; but for millions of Americans, that’s exactly what’s happening.

The numbers don’t lie. The average American family now pays over $2,200 a month for health insurance; surprisingly, that’s more than the average monthly mortgage payment of $2,000. Let that sink in. Keeping a roof over your head costs less than keeping your family covered.

That is not a market failure. That is a system rigged by liberals and government bureaucrats designed to benefit corporate giants at the expense of everyday Americans. Premiums are soaring, and insurers are cashing in. It needs to stop.

Americans are noticing. A recent poll found that a staggering 90 percent of Americans say health insurance companies have too much control and should be broken up, with 74 percent strongly agreeing. The overwhelming majority of Americans know there is a problem. They are screaming for justice.

So how did we get here?

Blame the liberal architects of Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was sold as a lifeline for struggling families. Instead, it became the golden goose for big insurance.

In 2024, a ridiculous 87 percent of insurer revenues from ACA premiums were taxpayer-funded. This was ten percentage points higher than before Covid-era credits expanded the subsidy pipeline.

Democrats are not helping Americans afford insurance. They are writing blank checks to the very industry that is gouging them.... Every year, patients are paying more while getting less, and taxpayers are footing the bill.

On top of all that, repeated mass fraud from insurers has deepened the wound.

Paying for healthcare has now become the top financial worry for American families...
