Netanyahu Left 'Personally Stunned' By Trump Rhetoric Prohibiting Lebanon Strikes
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his inner circle were reportedly blindsided - left "stunned" - after President Trump dropped a surprise line effectively clipping Israel's wings in Lebanon, according to Axios, citing sources familiar with the exchange.
On Friday, Trump declared the US had "prohibited" further Israeli strikes just as the administration-brokered 10-day ceasefire with Lebanon kicked in. The US President was unusually harsh in rhetoric with America's longtime #1 Mideast ally, writing on Truth Social that "enough is enough".

The words were clearly not directed at Lebanon, or Hezbollah, but squarely at Israel and its deadly air campaign which had included intense bombing of Beirut at the South for the last week-and-a-half.
The statement set off alarms in Jerusalem, with Israeli officials scrambling for clarity from Washington. Almost e...

Will AI job fears hurt China′s housing market as they have in the US and India? (SCMP)
|
|
|
Growing public anxiety over artificial intelligence-driven job loss, especially in technology and other white-collar sectors, has weighed on housing sentiment in the US and India.
Yet data remains insufficient to quantify the direct impact of AI-related job fears on China's sluggish home-buying sentiment, though analysts expect such concerns to make households more cautious about long-term housing purchase decisions.
China's rapid AI adoption to boost automation and productivity had implications......

These Are The US Cities Where No One Can Afford A Large Home
An April 2026 housing report by Highland Cabinetry highlights a growing affordability crisis across major American cities, revealing that the true cost of housing goes beyond total price and is better understood through the lens of cost per square foot. By analyzing home prices, rental costs, and average property sizes across 40 large cities, the study shows where Americans are paying the most for the least amount of living space. This approach offers a clearer picture of value, emphasizing how much space residents actually receive for their money rather than just the overall cost of buying or renting a home.
At the center of this trend is San Francisco, which ranks as the most expensive housing market in the country for both buyers and renters. Homebuyers in the city pay more than $1,000 per square foot on average, with a typical home costing around $1.24 million for just over 1,100 square feet. Renters face similar challenges, with...

Pro-Life Dad Awarded Million-Dollar Settlement Over Biden-Era FBI Raid
Authored by Bryan Hyde via American Greatness,
A pro-life father of seven whose Pennsylvania home was raided at gunpoint by the FBI under the Biden administration has been awarded a seven-figure settlement from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Fox News reports that Mark Houck, a devout Catholic and pro-life activist, was arrested in 2021 by the FBI and prosecuted for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act.
The charges stemmed from an October 2021 incident that took place outside a Philadelphia, PA abortion clinic where Houck and his young son were accosted by a pro-abortion volunteer who harassed and yelled at the boy until Houck pushed the volunteer away.
A jury acquitted Houck in 2023; he and his wife then filed a lawsuit later that year alleging that the Biden DOJ had engaged in malicious and retaliatory prosecution, abuse of process, false arrest, and assault.
Houck's lawsuit specifical...

Freies Internet lebt davon, dass der Zugang grundsätzlich offen ist. Die EU will dieses Prinzip umdrehen: Zugang nur noch nach Nachweis. Unter dem Etikett „Kinderschutz“ baut Brüssel die nächste digitale Schranke: erst Ausweis, dann Zugang. Die neue EU-Alters-App, die Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen in der vergangenen Woche angepriesen hat, ist mehr als nur Kinder-

AI is not eating up China′s software market but turbocharging it: HSBC analyst (SCMP)
|
|
|
China's artificial intelligence model companies are unlikely to “eat up” the domestic software market because they lack the deep industry know-how and experience to meet enterprise needs, according to an HSBC analyst.
Unlike the US, China's less developed software-as-a-service (SaaS) market stands to gain even as AI models continue to improve, with the most likely outcome being a collaborative approach where model companies and legacy software firms serve enterprises in tandem, said Yiran Liu,......
