THEY’RE ALWAYS IN THE LAST PLACE YOU LOOK: Archaeologists uncover 3,000-year-old tomb near Egypt’s Luxor. “The tomb, identified as belonging to a man named Paser, was found by a Dutch archaeological mission from Leiden University in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna necropolis on Luxor’s West Bank, according to Egypt’s tourism and antiquities ministry. The team of archeologists will work to identify people buried there and learn more about them.”

ICYMI: Paramount Plays Hardball Against Newsom’s Regulatory Goons “It’s official. ‘A coalition of state attorneys general have sued Paramount to stop its $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery,’ the Hollywood Reporter just said, calling it ‘a sweeping legal challenge to a merger that threatens to reshape Hollywood amid the absence of the Trump administration’s intervention in big deals.'”

MAMDANI’S NYC: Homeless encampment with drug trafficking, prostitution reaches 12 blocks.

“Definitely getting worse,” she added. “People stopped parking here. People are scared to park here.”

Nearby workers have said that open drug dealing and prostitution have become commonplace, with one tent reportedly serving as a gathering place for sex work, drug transactions, or both.

“This is crazy,” said one supervisor at the Jacob Javits Center nearby. “The cops and the sanitation guys and the outreach guys, they clean up one spot and after that day, the next day they’re over here. Then they’re over there. They’re kind of just spreading around.”

The supervisor explained that the worst parts are on 36th and 37th, where it is filled with heroin addicts.

Meanwhile, one vagrant there called socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani “awesome” for allowing the encampment to continue and halting police raids. This comes as city records show that 311 calls complaining about the vagrants increased to 48 this year from 40 in 2025.

Gooder and harder.

ANALYSIS: TRUE. US ambassador to NATO says Iran ‘controlled by a bunch of crazy people.’

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker said Sunday that Iran is “controlled by a bunch of crazy people” after escalating tensions between Washington and Tehran.

“President Trump’s a peacemaker, Jake, and he wants a deal with Iran. He wants to make sure that they never have a nuclear weapon, that they join the world as a contributor and a normalized country,” Whitaker told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

“But right now it’s, you know, as President Trump has said, and Marco Rubio has also stated, you know, this country is controlled by a bunch of crazy people,” he added.

That’s “murderously crazy people” to you, bub.

KERCH UPDATE: Ukraine’s New Naval Strategy Is Brilliantly Simple. “There’s line of military thinking that says it’s better to wound a soldier than to kill him outright. A dead man can be buried later, but a wounded man requires at least two more to get him off the field. Similarly, every damaged tanker and ferry isn’t just a lost means of getting people, fuel, and equipment where they’re needed. They’re added logistical burdens to a country already under logistical strain after more than four years of heavy fighting and nearly 1.5 million dead and wounded.”

SCHLICHTER: No Democrat Has the Brains or Courage to Not Be Crazy.

That’s really all there is to it. Instead, they’re crowding the freak lane while leaving the normal lane empty. Several Democrats who were born after the Jurassic Age have danced around it, but none have committed. It’s apparently too much to ask that they not be complete Leftist freaks.

Let’s get the easy part out of the way, which is not being old. The Democrat Party is a gerontocracy. As we’ve seen, the boomer generation has clutched onto power, sucking the lifeblood of the young to keep themselves in office forever. U.S. Democrat Rep. Nancy Pelosi (CA-11), former president Joe Biden, U.S. Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA-43), and many others—what do they have in common besides a relentless commitment to Moloch? They think Methuselah is a whippersnapper. Only now are they beginning to loosen their grip, and that’s simply because they’re literally too old to maintain it.

What you see now inside the Democrat Party is not so much a fight over ideology—as we’ll see, socialism has been the ideology of the Democrat Party for decades, and now they’re moving into full-scale communism.

OH, CANADA:

XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT: Christians are disappearing for worshipping a God other than Xi.

When the power cut out and his signal dropped, TJ knew something was wrong.

Seconds later, the banging started on his front door. Terrified, he stood as still as possible with his wife and three-year-old daughter, hoping they wouldn’t be noticed.

But the Chinese police officers broke down the door, shoved his wife and child into a separate room and began to question TJ.

“They grabbed my clothes and grabbed my hands so I couldn’t move. I could hear my daughter crying so much in the room next door but I couldn’t go to her, I couldn’t hug my wife,” he told The Telegraph.

TJ knew what his family’s crime was: being Christian and worshipping a God that was not Xi Jinping. In China, following a church that is not state-controlled is punishable.

The Chinese leader is intensifying Beijing’s crackdown on Christians amid a wider purge of top officials, showing signs of an increasingly paranoid leader.

This will probably get even less press attention than Muslims slaughtering the Christians of the Sahel.

CLEVER: Russian hackers breached cameras on NATO logistics routes to track weapons shipments.

Russian state-backed hackers have been systematically compromising internet-connected civilian IP cameras in NATO countries across Europe in an effort to monitor the transfer of military equipment and weapons to Ukraine.

Source: joint statement by the Dutch General Intelligence and Security Service (AIVD) and the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MIVD)

Details: According to the intelligence agencies, the large-scale Russian operation targeted cameras located along military logistics routes in Europe, including in the Netherlands. The hackers were attempting to identify what types of weapons were being sent to Ukraine.

During the joint investigation, the agencies found that a small number of cameras located directly on military logistics routes in the Netherlands had been compromised. The organisations that own these devices have since been notified and are taking appropriate security measures.

I don’t trust security cameras like Ring that rely entirely on somebody else’s offsite storage.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Lindsey Graham — A Man of Many Surprises Right Until the End. “Lindsey Graham is the man who launched a thousand opinions. Nobody was neutral when it came to Graham, which I think is one of the highest compliments that anyone can receive. You could find the full gamut of opinions among just Republicans. He could be infuriating at times, then he could be the GOP pitbull that you needed to send after the Democrats.”

UGH: Iran Paper Names Trump, 12 Others as Targets for Revenge.

The move escalated rhetoric from Iran’s ruling establishment as new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei used his first public message in weeks to vow retaliation.

As of Sunday, however, the newspaper’s list has not been formally endorsed by the Iranian state.

The Hamshahri daily, owned by the Tehran municipality, posted the graphic online late Saturday, pairing photographs of 13 foreign officials with a statement from Mojtaba Khamenei, who succeeded his father after Ali Khamenei was killed on Feb. 28, the first day of the U.S.-Israeli air campaign against Iran.

The image did not run in the paper’s Sunday print edition.

Along with Trump and Netanyahu, the infographic named British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

Reporting from JFeed identified additional figures pictured, including Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz, IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper.
