by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization: There are two completely different visions for the upcoming Trump-Putin summit.  Most of the world is hoping for an end to fighting in Ukraine, based on an agreement for normalization of relations between the U.S. and Russia, tied to mutually-beneficial economic cooperation.  And then there are those clinging to hopes of […]

Rising from the Stockholm suburbs under their original moniker Force, the Swedish rock collective that would eventually become known as Europe has undergone numerous lineup transformations since their inception in 1979. The band obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition Rock-SM (Swedish Rock Championships), launching a career that has spanned over four decades. Since their formation, Europe has released eleven studio albums, three live albums, three compilations and twenty-four music videos. Europe rose to international fame in the 1980s with their third album, 1986’s The Final Countdown, which became a global phenomenon and established The post Complete List Of Europe Band Members appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

Monday’s PBS News Hour mourned the death of Anas al-Sharif, covering the war in Gaza for the anti-semitic Arab network Al-Jazeera, who was killed along other journalists by an Israeli drone. Foreign affairs reporter Nick Schifrin played along with the rest of the gullible press, portraying Anas, revealed by Israeli intelligence as an undercover Hamas operative, as a hero despite massive evidence to the contrary, evidence distrusted because the source was Israel (by contrast, PBS rarely has a problem with relying on death tolls from the Hamas-controlled health ministry). Nick Schifrin: In Gaza today, the story so often is death. And now death stalks those who tell the story. For a moment today, the storytellers fell silent for Al-Jazeera's Anas Al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, mourned with the bulletproof vests that failed to protect. There is a fierce pride and brotherhood among Gaza's journalists. And, today, they prayed over the body of a man they considered a mentor who shared their story. Al-Sharif was a well-known correspondent who began reporting for Al-Jazeera after the war began. He, like everyone in Gaza, was suffering from a lack of food and, while describing a woman who collapsed from hunger, broke down during a live broadcast. A missile fired by an Israeli drone killed him and four other journalists last night in the tent where they were living outside Shifa Hospital. Journalist Mohammed Qeita was 20 feet away and was injured in his lower back. Mohammed Qeita, Journalist (through interpreter): We did not only lose our colleague Sharif. We lost the voice of journalism, the journalistic icon for everyone, for all Palestinians. Sharif was the voice of all of us. Schifrin: But Israel argued Sharif and other members of Al-Jazeera were also members of Hamas' military wing and released what it described as translated Hamas' salary documents and personnel tables as proof. Al-Jazeera called them fabricated, part of a campaign by Israel against Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Sara Qudah is the Committee to Protect Journalists Middle East regional director. He quoted Sara Qudah of the Committee to Protect Journalists spewing “murder” accusations against Israel and calling the drone killing a war crime. After Schifin quoted CPJ stats claiming 192 journalists had been killed since October, "making this war the deadliest for journalists in history," Qudah appeared again, to accuse Israel of “sending a very clear message that they want to hide the truth and they want to silence those witnesses.” Will PBS follow up on Anas’s killing as more links comes to light, such as the “selfies” Anas took with Hamas leadership? Clearly, leftist media see al-Jazeera as fellow leftists, so they can never be extremists, unlike Fox News. By now, even the anti-Israel BBC has grasped the fact that Al-Jazeera-affiliated Anas wasn’t some heroic journalistic truthteller but was on the Hamas terrorist payroll, writing Tuesday evening, “The BBC understands Sharif worked for a Hamas media team in Gaza before the current conflict.” So perhaps the rest of Israel’s evidence showing Sharif was Hamas-affiliated is also accurate, despite PBS’s pathetic attempts to suggest otherwise? A transcript is available, click “Expand.” PBS News Hour 8/11/25 7:17:28 p.m. (ET) Amna Nawaz: Palestinians in Gaza today buried five staffers from the Arab network Al-Jazeera targeted by Israel last night outside a hospital and also reported some of the heaviest Israeli bombardment in weeks. Health authorities reported at least 34 people killed after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin continue to defend his plan to occupy Gaza's largest city and an area that Israel has defined as a humanitarian zone for displaced Gazans. Nick Schifrin reports. Nick Schifrin: In Gaza today, the story so often is death. And now death stalks those who tell the story.

Sara Qudah, Middle East and North Africa Regional Director, Committee to Protect Journalists: For us, what happened is plain and simple. It's a murder. They targeted Anas and his colleagues and they killed them. They did threaten them before they targeted and killed them. And, for us, this is a war crime. Nick Schifrin: CPJ says 192 journalists have been killed since the October 7 terrorist attacks, making this war the deadliest for journalists in history. Sara Qudah: The Palestinian journalists in Gaza are the only witnesses and the only journalists on the ground who are able to report on what is happening. There is no international media access inside Gaza to investigate, document, to report to the entire world what is happening. So, by killing them, Israel is sending a very clear message that they want to hide the truth and they want to silence those witnesses. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister: Gaza will be demilitarized. Israel will have overriding security responsibility. Nick Schifrin: This weekend, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended his plan for the Israeli military to occupy Gaza City and the Mawasi tent camp, which Israel has described as a humanitarian zone. Woman: We need a deal, a deal to end this war. Nick Schifrin: Netanyahu pushed that plan over the objections of Israeli hostage families and what former military officials described to "PBS News Hour" as resistance from Israel's chief for the general staff, who today said he planned — quote — "operational control of Gaza City," but only after a pause to allow troops a needed break. Benjamin Netanyahu: Given Hamas' refusal to lay down its arms, Israel has no choice but to finish the job and complete the defeat of Hamas. Nick Schifrin: The U.S. and Israeli officials also tell "PBS News Hour," while the IDF prepares for possible occupation, Israel and Hamas will restart cease-fire negotiations. Until then, the war takes its daily deadly toll, including on the smallest victims, a boy named Majid. And, today, Ahmed Tota (ph) cried over his daughter's body, filmed by a journalist who is sharing and living the reality of the war. For the "PBS News Hour," I'm Nick Schifrin.  

President Trump is right: It’s a disgrace that violent criminals and gangs roam freely through the nation’s capital — even in neighborhoods housing top government officials. Federalizing control over D.C. law enforcement and deploying the National Guard makes sense. But the deeper rot isn’t a lack of police presence. It’s the collapse of deterrence through weak sentencing and a revolving door for repeat offenders, especially juveniles.If Trump truly wants to make Washington safe — and follow El Salvador’s tough-on-crime model — he must break from the “criminal justice reform” movement he once embraced. Those same policies have turned D.C. into a carjacker’s paradise.The bipartisan experiment with leniency has failed. The bipartisan demand for safety is loud and clear.No cherry-picked statistics can hide the reality: Lawmakers, staffers, and high-ranking officials fear walking around parts of the city, including Capitol Hill, even during the day. The recent attack on DOGE official Edward Coristine by a pack of 10 juveniles attempting to steal a woman’s car says everything. In 2023, D.C.’s carjacking rate hit 142.8 per 100,000 people, up 565% since 2019. Juveniles committed 63% of those crimes, with guns involved in more than three-quarters of cases.The crime wave wasn’t random. In 2018, the D.C. Council passed the Youth Rehabilitation Act Amendment, allowing most offenders under 25 to get reduced sentences and sealed records. Repeat armed carjackers face little risk of long-term prison time. Even FBI agents have been victims. Mayor Muriel Bowser admitted some juvenile carjackers have six or seven priors — and still walk free.Other “reform” laws stacked the deck. The Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act allowed resentencing for crimes committed before age 18. The Second Look Amendment of 2020 expanded that leniency to criminals sentenced before the age of 25 — prime time for violent crime. These measures all but erased the deterrent effect of sentencing.And this isn’t just a problem for left-wing dystopian cities and states. Republican lawmakers in red states have pushed softer juvenile laws, too. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) had to veto several leniency bills. He remains one of the few willing to confront the bipartisan jailbreak agenda.Over the past decade, leaders in both parties have embraced the “decarceration” canard. They’ve reduced sentences, ignored parole violations, and wiped criminal records — all in the name of shrinking prison populations.The result? Predictable chaos.RELATED: The capital of the free world cannot be lawless TheaDesign via iStock/Getty Images President Reagan’s Task Force on Victims of Crime saw it coming four decades ago: “Juveniles too often are not held accountable for their conduct, and the system perpetuates this lack of accountability.”Trump himself backed the First Step Act, which released dangerous offenders early. One of them — Glynn Neal, with a long record of violent crime — walked free just one day before stabbing a staffer for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky).Troops on the street can help. But this is more than a policing problem — it’s a policy problem. Trump’s second term should reject the leniency consensus and restore deterrence, starting with nullifying D.C.’s soft-on-crime laws.If he wants to win the public’s trust on crime, he must trade “criminal justice reform” for criminal justice enforcement. The bipartisan experiment with leniency has failed. The bipartisan demand for safety is loud and clear.

The Trump administration's National Institutes of Health is still funding some medical researchers who suppressed debate about the possibility of a lab leak as the origin of COVID-19.Following the outbreak, then-National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci and then-NIH Director Francis Collins strongly condemned allegations that the virus was the result of a lab leak, primarily citing a March 2020 peer-reviewed article from National Medicine titled "The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2."'How do you put all this together, whether you believe in this series of coincidences, what you know of the lab in Wuhan, how much could be in nature — accidental release or natural event?'However, released emails revealed that the scientists involved in drafting the Proximal Origin initially had concerns that the virus had leaked from a lab.Kristian G. Andersen, who would go on to be listed as the primary author of the article, wrote in an email to Fauci on January 31, "The unusual features of the virus make up a really small part of the genome (Andersen further noted that he, Edward Holmes, Robert Garry, and Michael Farzan "all find the genome inconsistent with expectations from evolutionary theory.""But we have to look at this much more closely and there are still further analyses to be done, so those opinions could still change," he added.Holmes and Garry also helped draft the Proximal Origin.RELATED: BlazeTV's 'The Coverup' exposes how the censorship industrial complex silenced Americans during COVID Photo by Jane Barlow - WPA Pool/Getty ImagesIn an email to Fauci and Collins on February 2, 2020, Farzan was quoted as saying, "Nothing seems to specifically suggest whether this virus was most likely to be 'adapted,' 'evolved,' or maybe even 'engineered.' So I think it becomes a question of how do you put all this together, whether you believe in this series of coincidences, what you know of the lab in Wuhan, how much could be in nature — accidental release or natural event?""I am 70:30 or 60:40," he concluded. Farzan later backtracked, claiming those numbers were "inverted."A House subcommittee found that the report was created after Fauci and Collins held a conference call in February with roughly a dozen scientists, four of whom drafted the paper days later. That draft was reportedly sent to Fauci and Collins "for editing and approval" before it was published.During a 2023 congressional hearing, Andersen denied allegations that Fauci prompted researchers to write the Proximal Origin report and rejected claims that grants were used to persuade scientists to dismiss the lab-leak theory.Despite early suspicions about the virus' origins, the final published version of the paper stated that the scientists' "analyses clearly show that SARS-CoV-2 is not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus."The report sparked allegations that the once-skeptical authors were now complicit in the cover-up of the virus' origins.Yet grant records show that Andersen, Garry, and Ian Lipkin are still receiving taxpayer-funded grants, several of which are being used to conduct COVID-related research.Andersen is receiving a few grants from the NIAID: one worth over $2.5 million, another for $319,000, and a third for $602,000.The first grant provides funding to the Center for Viral Systems Biology. Andersen is the director and principal investigator of CViSB, while Garry is the co-director.The project's summary states, "The COVID-19 pandemic is a stark reminder of the threat posed by infectious diseases, but other priority pathogens, such as Lassa and Ebola viruses, continue to pose significant challenges in endemic areas.""Our central hypothesis remains that complex networks of viral and human factors, including distinct clinical, immunological, genetic, virological, and physiological attributes play key roles in determining the outcome and spread of Lassa, Ebola, and COVID-19," it continues. "Our overall goal is to identify these molecular networks and provide a deep system-level understanding of the virus, host, and environmental drivers of disease severity and spread to discover predictive markers of human disease."RELATED: Despite Biden's pardon, Anthony Fauci still faces legal perils. Here they are. Anthony Fauci. Photo by J. Scott Applewhite-Pool/Getty ImagesThe second grant provides funding for the CViSB's Administrative Core, led by Andersen, which includes support for all of the center's research projects to ensure its goals are successfully met.The third grant funds "Project 2," which aims to "investigate the complex interplay of virus genetics and host immunity in determining epidemiology and outcome of infection with Lassa virus, Ebola virus, and SARS-CoV-2."Garry was listed as the project leader on a separate grant for "Project 1," totaling nearly $515,000. The project's goal is "to generate an integrated, systems-level dataset that will enable development of models that predict disease severity or long-term sequelae in individuals infected with Lassa virus, Ebola virus or SARS-CoV-2, and protective responses to vaccines."Another separate grant, totaling over $1.9 million, went to Columbia University's Center for Infection and Immunity for a project to study "gene-environment interactions between the immune system and infectious agents." The project lead and investigator was listed as Ian W. Lipkin, another co-author of the Proximal Origin. Lipkin informed Blaze News that he is not pursuing SARS-CoV-2 research."Unless new data are uncovered that unequivocally demonstrate a point source, I don’t see how there will be resolution of this contentious and destructive debate," Lipkin said. "What is unequivocal is that wild animal markets and unregulated research with known or potential pandemic pathogens pose unacceptable risks to public health."According to the NIH RePORTER, Holmes and Andrew Rambaut, also a Proximal Origin co-author, do not appear to have any active projects that are receiving grants at this time. Dr. Richard H. Ebright of Rutgers University told Blaze News that there is "compelling evidence" that the authors of the Proximal Origin knew the paper's conclusions were "invalid at the time it was submitted for publication, at the time it was accepted for publication, and at the time it was published."He accused the authors of committing "science fraud by publishing conclusions they knew to be invalid" and then "compound[ing] that science fraud by publishing patently unsound follow-up papers purporting to support the invalid conclusions."Ebright called for the NIH Office of Research Integrity and the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate and "pursue retraction of their fraudulent paper and unsound follow-up papers, termination and clawback of their federal funding, and debarment from eligibility for future federal funding."An NIH spokesperson told Blaze News, "NIH does not discuss grants compliance reviews on specific funded awards, recipient institutions, or supported investigators, whether or not such reviews occurred or are under way."Andersen and Garry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.RELATED: Inside Trump’s White House during the early pandemic: ‘The Coverup’ Episode 3 available NOW Like Blaze News?
