• Red China demanded that the U.S. cancel its $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan. I'm very apprehensive. If World War III erupts with China, I fear that America's Generation Z may have to fight on China's side, because they accepted TikTok's Terms and Conditions without reading them.

• The European Union continued to decline sending troops or ships to the Persian Gulf, instead opting to push diplomacy to end the conflict. In the Eurovision national song contest, Bulgaria beat Israel in the finals. In other words, Bomb Bomb Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran came in second.

• The 2026 FIFA World Cup soccer championship is making final plans to get started June 12th at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. This week Europeans voted Ronaldo the Most Desirable man in the world. Americans agreed, saluting Ronaldo's chain of burger restaurants with billions served.

• Pope Leo issued a warning about Artificial Intelligence over algorithmic job displacement and environmental harm from data centers. I'm not fearful of AI, but I'm a bit alarmed about its rapid progress. Come the day the machines rise up and attack man, I hope I'm nowhere near the dildo factory.

• Politico reported that the Democratic Party is being pulled further and further to the Left by new Progressives promising voters free stuff. One candidate is offering Americans $960 a week not to work, free rent, home food delivery and record-low gasoline prices. And so I'm voting for Covid in 2028.

• President Trump headlined a Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington Cemetery where he honored those killed in action. Speaking of combat, just two days earlier, Trump had been shot at and missed for the 4th time in 2 years. The Secret Service just gave him a new code name – Donald Duck!

• The Secret Service shot a disturbed gunman who thinks he's Jesus who fired shots at the White House Saturday. These are dangerous times. I'm starting to think Trump might propose protecting the U.S. Capitol building with its own ballroom and build a large ice-skating rink to protect the Pentagon.

• President Trump rejected Iran's latest peace proposal that would give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz and surrender no enriched uranium. They also demanded billions in frozen Iranian cash. Not to be outdone, the Seattle Seahawks just demanded the Lombardi Trophy for losing the Super Bowl.

• Senator Bernie Sanders gave a rousing speech for Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner Monday. I can now say I've lived long enough to see a Jew who was born during World War II campaign for a guy with a swastika tattooed on his chest. Only Hogan's Heroes was lighter on the Nazis.

• The Los Angeles Times reported that the Sandy Fire in Simi Valley was 40% contained after the week-long blaze consumed 40,000 hillside acres. The Ventura County Fire Department says the Sandy Fire is the largest fire ever recorded in Simi Valley that wasn't started by the Rodney King verdict.

• Sacramento Councilwoman and Laotian Mai Vang turned her back on the U.S. flag and refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance at a meeting Friday. There's more. The bad news is she's running for Congress in the Democrat primary, and the worse news is, she may be too moderate to win in California.

• The WHO reports 177 deaths from Ebola in Africa along with 600 people who show symptoms of the untreatable virus. The State Department just banned everyone from the Congo, Uganda and the Sudan from entering the U.S. Californians have no fear of Ebola unless they hear it's got Gluten in it.

• Hollywood actors called for a boycott of CBS for canceling Stephen Colbert. He hosted a show on a Michigan public access channel the day after his Late Show was canceled. He was so successful in re-creating the magic of his network show that the public access channel has already lost $10 million.
