(1) The UAE is fed up with OPEC and pulls out. This should break some of OPEC’s power over the global oil market.

Iran is part of OPEC, by the way.

(2) Comey has been indicted again, this time for threatening to harm Trump:

“Threatening the life of the President of the United States is a grave violation of our nation’s laws,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “The grand jury returned an indictment alleging James Comey did just that, at a time when this country has witnessed violent incitement followed by deadly actions against President Trump and other elected officials. The temperature needs to be turned down, and anyone who dials it up and threatens the life of the President will be held accountable.”

“James Comey disgracefully encouraged a threat on President Trump’s life and posted it on Instagram for the world to see,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “As the former Director of the FBI, he knew full well the attention and consequences of making such a post. This FBI and our DOJ partners pursued a rigorous investigation that followed the facts – and now Mr. Comey will be held fully accountable for his actions. Thank you to our investigators, Acting AG Todd Blanche, and the Eastern District of NC for their diligent and professional work.”

The threat was encoded in Comey’s “seashell” post, which contained the message “86 47”. I happen to agree with those who, like Jonathan Turley, think the case is iffy. But it’s one of those things Democrats would do if the shoe were on the other foot. And perhaps it’s also meant to serve notice that threatening the president on social media might not be a totally free ride.

(3) Al Gore warns of possible global cooling.

Warming, cooling, what’s the difference?

(4) Two “visibly Jewish” men in London have been stabbed and are in serious condition. “VIsibly Jewish” probably means dressed in Orthodox garb or with typically Jewish head coverings.

“Credit” was claimed:

Following the stabbings, pro-Iran regime Telegram accounts disseminated a video by Ashab al Yamin in which the group claimed credit for the stabbings.

“Zionists were targeted by our lone wolves in the Golders Green area of London. This heroic act left two Zionists critically wounded and on the brink of death,” the group stated.

Ashab al Yamin also encouraged further attacks against “Zionists,” framing them as defending humanity, the Al Aqsa Mosque, Palestine, and Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. The statement lauded Cole Allen, who attempted to assassinate US President Donald Trump at a gathering of journalists and government officials in Washington, DC, on April 25. The statement ended with Ashab al Yamin encouraging “free people” to assassinate Trump. The statement included closed-circuit television footage showing one of the stabbings in Golders Green that had been widely distributed online by sources not linked to the group.

Take that with a grain of salt, though, because it’s a group that routinely claims credit for a lot of terrorist attacks in the area.

I’ve known a few devout Jews who have worn caps over their religious head coverings on the streets of Boston, starting about twenty years ago, to avoid problems.

(5) Of course the left blames the right for the attacks on Trump – a version of “she asked for it” or “he made us do it.” Remember when Kennedy was killed by an outright Communist, and it was blamed on the “climate of hate” coming from the right in Dallas?
