The MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak has already been linked to three deaths, even as the WHO assures us it is not another COVID. But iPINIONS notes that cruise ships were floating petri dishes long before COVID, thanks to norovirus outbreaks, environmental dumping, and passengers packed together socializing like sardines. Now Trump’s WHO withdrawal adds another layer… Read more.
Ex-Mossad chief Tamir Pardo toured the West Bank and warned that settler violence is sowing the seeds of another October 7. Colette Avital sounded a parallel alarm about Netanyahu’s Israel, where fascism exported to Palestinians is now coming home to roost. iPINIONS argues that Gaza was the proving ground, the West Bank is the sequel,… Read more.
Cinco de Mayo marks Mexican resistance and pride.

Laura Loomer’s $150 million lawsuit against Bill Maher was supposed to defend her reputation. Instead, it exposed the joke at the heart of her own case.
