Tensions between the countries have continued to grow not only as a result of the border patrol situation but because Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko encouraged migrants to illegally enter Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, their bordering European Union nations. For months, thousands of migrants have attempted to illegally enter Poland, many getting stuck in a swampy forested area and pushed back and forth by Polish and Belarusian forces. According to Major Katarzyna Zdanowicz from the region’s border guards, about 3,000-4,000 migrants were along the border, including 800 in the vicinity of a large makeshift camp....

Officials in the European Union nations that border Ukraine said there is not an influx of refugees now, but local media reported an increase of foot traffic, Reuters reported. Earlier Thursday, Russian forces invaded Ukraine by land, air and sea in the biggest attack in Europe since World War II.

Detectives initially stopped the truck for erratic driving near I-15 and St. Rose Pkwy around 2:30 a.m. on Friday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said in a post on Facebook. “The nervous driver had a story that didn’t add up,” the police department said. Officers then called in a K9, Nuggetz, who alerted them to the presence of drugs. “LVMPD K9 Nuggetz indicated a positive alert for drugs which led to a search,” the department said....

Such was the case with a call made last week to the Converse Police Department in Texas. Officials from Converse, located within about 15 miles of San Antonio, later published a Facebook post about supposed “skeletal remains” being reported in the area. Officers were dispatched to the area of FM 1516 and Binz-Engleman Road to investigate. The eerie report was quickly verified to be a hoax as police realized the skeleton in question was just a plastic prop....

A woman in her late 60s, who authorities said lived in the area but has not been officially identified yet, was seen in her car where witnesses reported it floating in the river near a pedestrian bridge.

U.K. newspaper Jewish News published an interview with Polish plenipotentiary Jaroslaw Nowak last week where the diplomat discussed a new amendment to the country’s Act on the Institute of National Remembrance. The law, which is meant to prevent Poland from being held responsible for any contributions made by the government during the Holocaust, was called “one of the stupidest amendments ever to appear in the law” by Nowak. He also said that the country would have to admit to their wrongdoings “at some point” in the future....

Speaking to the Polish television channel TVP Info, Pawel Jablonski, deputy head of Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, discussed the upcoming EU-Ukraine summit in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Friday. Jablonski stressed the importance of the summit, saying that “the root of Russian aggression is the desire to block Ukraine’s integration with Europe.” “The Ukraine-EU summit shows that this open path to membership…is something real. These are not just slogans, empty slogans, but a real will to cooperate....

In the United States, roughly 90 percent of incumbents can expect re-election, even when their constituents are dissatisfied with their performance, or partisan shifts would have otherwise put them at a disadvantage. That incumbency boost overwhelmingly benefits men, since men hold nearly a super majority of elected positions in the U.S. Women currently hold only 27.1 percent of seats in Congress, 31 percent in statewide elected office, 31.3 percent in state legislatures and 25....

The Jim Jeffords fiasco is getting all the (digital) ink, but it capped a week that already was adding up to a bad one for the Bush White House. On Monday, Cheney and his wife hosted hundreds of Republican fat cats at the vice president’s residence, an official, taxpayer-owned home on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory. It was a piece of political theater that the Bushies should have been smart enough to avoid....

I don’t know what the president was thinking, of course, when, with a characteristic frown and bite of the cheek, he noted that “evidently some of the world don’t view Saddam Hussein as a risk to peace. I respectfully disagree.” But I’ve covered Bush long enough to make an educated guess. Here it is. Shaped by the Yale of the ’60s and by his own father’s career, the president views the demonstrators as weak-willed moral relativists, afraid to take on–as only faith-filled and freedom-loving leaders can–forces of evil on earth....

Trudeau and his Liberal Party released a campaign video earlier the same day, laying out a “climate action plan” which they claim will reduce Canada’s carbon emissions to “net-zero by 2020.” The NDP are one of several parties standing against the Liberal party in the Canadian federal election, which is set to take place October 21. In the video, which has since been heavily disparaged on social media, Trudeau addresses the camera, saying “Years from now, I want to look my kids in the eyes and say we stepped up in the fight against climate change....

A new poll from Yahoo! News and YouGov shows support for defunding the police is up 8 percent from a previous poll conducted May 29 and 30 during the first week of protests. However, despite growing support, only 24 percent of Americans support defunding the police. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has gained momentum amid the weeks-long George Floyd protests across the nation. The poll showed that support for the movement has more than doubled since 2016, with 57 percent of Americans saying they have a favorable view of BLM....

In an interview with Fox News, Pompeo said that the book The Room Where it Happened released on Tuesday, contained “lies and falsehoods” and criticized Bolton’s lack of discretion. “It’s both sad and dangerous,” Pompeo told host Sean Hannity. “Indeed the cover itself that said he was in the room isn’t even completely true. The president and others, myself included, had to cut him out of meetings because he was leaking or he’d twist things or he’d lie....
