LAS VEGAS (AP) — Republican presidential candidates professed their strong support for Israel on Saturday as they addressed an influential Republican Jewish group during a campaign stop that coincided with Israel’s stepped-up offensive in the war against Hamas and included the exit of a high-profile contender from the 2024 race. Israel has targeted the Palestinian enclave with airstrikes and cut off power and communications as it mounts an operation against the militant group. But this year's summit comes as Israel has been plunged in crisis and put on war footing. The organization's longtime benefactor, billionaire casino mogul and GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson, became a big backer of Trump and implored coalition members to support Trump in 2016. In their remarks, most of the candidates pledged robust support for Israel.

The tree - at a spot known as “Sycamore Gap” – was located on the historic UNESCO World Heritage listed Hadrian’s Wall, which was constructed around 1,900 years ago to guard the furthest northwestern frontier of the Roman Empire.

BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon’s security agencies have launched an investigation into a late night shooting outside the U.S. embassy in Lebanon that caused no injuries, officials said Thursday. Top CIA officials were among those killed in the 1983 embassy attack in a Beirut coastal neighborhood. In 2008, an explosion targeted a U.S. Embassy vehicle in northern Beirut, killing at least three Lebanese and injuring an American bystander and a local embassy employee. In October 1983, a truck bombing killed 241 American service members at the U.S. Marine barracks at Beirut airport. The U.S. withdrew all diplomats from Beirut in September 1989 and did not reopen its embassy until 1991.

More to come from record-breaking Haaland, says Guardiola
  + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +1 min
May 3 (Reuters) - Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has broken several records this season but the Norway international still wants to improve his game, manager Pep Guardiola said. Haaland on Sunday became the first player in England's top flight to score 50 goals in all competitions in a season since Tom Waring did so for Aston Villa in 1931. The 22-year-old is level with Alan Shearer and Andy Cole for a record-equalling haul of 34 goals in a Premier League campaign and Guardiola said there is more to come from the former Borussia Dortmund striker. "Always I said many times with Erling the future will be tough because you compare what he's done," Guardiola told reporters on Tuesday. "If he doesn't score the goals like he's scoring the people will say he's in a bad situation but he can still improve.
There is no evidence that increasing the contrast on an image of a U.S. dollar bill reveals a hidden alien figure, contrary to an old hoax that is recirculating online.

An image of an authentic dollar bill is available ( here ) on the website of the U.S. Currency Education Program. An image comparing the authentic dollar bill and the first panel of the altered image that is being shared can be seen ( imgur.com/a/CsURL19 ). An image of a U.S. dollar bill has been altered to make it appear to show an alien figure.
