The Pentagon now ranks Israel as a bigger counterintelligence threat than some of America's enemies, according to The New York Times.The report details concerns that Israel has been spying on senior Trump officials, including the President's top negotiator Steve Witkoff and Pentagon policy chief Elbridge Colby, along with other American military and government...

The number of “threat to kill” knife offences in London has risen to close to a record high, official figures reveal. There were 154 such attacks in April, up from 126 in March, 92 in February and 127 in January, according to Metropolitan Police data. The alarming new figure is the second highest on record, going back to 2015, and sparked a heated political row over law and order in London. While overall knife crime is down in London, the city has been rocked in recent weeks by a series of fatal and other serious stabbings. In what appears to...

Jurors can consider manslaughter in addition to the murder charge against Karmelo Anthony, the judge said Tuesday. Anthony is charged with murder in the April 2, 2025 death of Austin Metcalf. Both were 17 at the time and were set to compete that day for different Frisco high schools at a track meet. If convicted, Anthony faces up to life in prison. The case has drawn national attention from the start and generated a flood of misinformation and racist vitriol on social media. Anthony is Black. Metcalf was white. Journalists from The Dallas Morning News will provide live updates throughout...

A car exploded in the city of Balashikha, which borders the Russian capital Moscow, in the early morning of June 9, killing the driver at the scene. According to the Telegram channel Two Majors, the man killed in the explosion has been identified as a Russian major general. The channel, however, did not reveal his name. Earlier, witnesses and Russia’s Investigative Committee confirmed that a 62-year-old man died after an explosive device detonated inside a vehicle in the Aviatorov district of Balashikha. The explosion occurred shortly after the car began moving. Russia’s Investigative Committee said the blast occurred at around...

The left tried really hard to turn the Karmelo Anthony case into a civil rights story. They wanted Karmelo to look like some modern-day Rosa Parks, like being told to leave another team’s tent at a high school track meet was the same thing as being ordered to the back of the bus. Revolver: There’s nothing the left wanted more than to turn an everyday black thug into the next Rosa Parks. That’s what they were desperately trying to do with accused murderer Karmelo Anthony. You’ll recall that Anthony is charged with the brutal stabbing murder of young, white teen...

Accused murderer Nick Reiner is fighting in court to get the inheritance left by the parents he is accused of stabbing to death in their $20 million Los Angeles mansion. A new court petition shows he is fighting to get $750,000 of his $1.5 million trust as his legal bills pile up. His legendary film director father, Rob Reiner, and his mother, Michele, set aside the trust for him, dictating he was to receive half of the funds when he turned 30 and the other half when he turned 35. Reiner, 32, now claims the trustee, lawyer Paul Kanin, has...

In April 2025, amid active congressional investigations, federal FARA violation requests, a sitting faculty member who had publicly hoped Iran would bomb a US military base, Hamas symbols spray-painted on dorm walls, a student body that had just voted 68% to boycott Israel, and an ongoing war in which Iran was targeting American institutions — Georgetown University’s interim president flew to Doha and signed a ten-year contract renewal with Qatar Foundation. He then accepted a ceremony in which Georgetown’s highest honor, the President’s Medal, was given to Sheikha Moza bint Nasser — the Qatari royal who had publicly praised Hamas...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that, despite the exchange of strikes between Iran and Israel, a deal to end the war in the Middle East could be reached “in two or three days.” “They were going back and forth [with strikes], and now they both agreed, through me, to stop, and now we’re in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal,” Trump told reporters in New York, where he was attending the NBA finals in Madison Square Garden. Trump said the deal would stop Iran from having nuclear weapons and result in the...

The madman accused of slaughtering Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a train in North Carolina screamed at the judge on Tuesday as he was ruled not fit to stand trial for a second time. Decarlos Brown Jr., 34, ranted about having “material in his body” during the brief hearing at the federal courthouse in Charlotte, Queen City News reported. He also shouted about wanting to press charges against the FBI, and asked the judge whether he had reviewed his evaluation and a letter from his mother, the outlet reported. Brown is facing federal and state charges in the shocking August...

Israel conducted airstrikes Tuesday across southern Lebanon, despite a warning from Iran that further attacks could lead to a devastating reciprocal response. The Israeli military issued evacuation orders for the city of Tyre, on Lebanon’s southwestern coast, before launching a wave of airstrikes in the surrounding area. Tyre is one of southern Lebanon’s largest cities, with nearly 175,000 people in the city and its metropolitan area. Notably, Israel’s latest evacuation order for the city included Tyre’s Christian sector, which had previously been excluded from airstrikes. Israel asserts that Iran-backed Hezbollah militants are hiding within the city but has not provided...

When you import the Third World, you import the Third World's problems. Right now, that's never been more apparent than in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where an immigrant variously described as Sudanese and Somalian brutally attacked a young Irish man. The UK's Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, is outraged. The post reads: KIER STARMER: Belfast stabbing was "sickening." Irish officials and law enforcement have urged the public not to circulate footage of the African migrant, citing concerns of unrest and "misinformation." PM Keir Starmer called the attack “horrific” and “sickening,” saying he had “absolutely no tolerance” for violence like this. The footage...

Steve Hilton, the Republican gubernatorial candidate backed by President Donald Trump, publicly distanced himself from the president’s claims that California’s election results were “rigged” as he argued his team had “seen nothing” to suggest this was the case. Speaking on CNN’s OutFront on Monday, Hilton was pressed by host Erin Burnett on Trump’s repeated allegations, without evidence, that both the California governor’s race and the Los Angeles mayoral contest were “crooked” and “rigged.” “Just in terms of where you stand, are you worried that there’s fraud right now? Or are you just frustrated that the count is slow, but that...

A U.S. Army AH-64 Apache attack helicopter went down near the coast of Oman Monday evening while on patrol, with both crew members rescued within two hours in what military officials are describing as a historic first: the first known rescue of downed military personnel by an unmanned surface vessel. U.S. Central Command confirmed Tuesday that the two U.S. Army AH-64 Apache pilots were rescued near the Strait of Hormuz after their helicopter went down near the coast of Oman on Monday evening. The Apache was "patrolling regional waters" when the incident occurred, CENTCOM said. A Task Force 59 unmanned...

A thorough reexamination of scientific data has revealed that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating, and the primary driver might not be what you think. While melting glaciers and shrinking ice sheets are commonly understood to contribute to sea levels creeping higher, the slow and steady expansion of our oceans often goes unseen. Yet this phenomenon is the main cause leading to higher sea levels around the world, research shows. As water in the ocean gets warmer, it expands in space – a process known as thermal expansion – meaning seawater occupies more volume. This expansion of water is...

A US drone boat conducted a first-of-its-kind rescue mission to save the crew of an American Apache helicopter that crashed near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, the military said. The unmanned vessel, powered by artificial intelligence, located the crew who had been stuck for two hours in the waters off the coast of Oman, bringing them to shore, the Wall Street Journal reported. The operation marks the first time a high-tech US Navy drone deployed to the Middle East was used to conduct a rescue mission. The Navy previous deployed a Seahawk medium unmanned surface vessel (MUSV) with an...

Ohio voters could decide in November whether they want to enshrine its photo ID law into the state constitution. A new poll suggests the voter verification protection is very popular in the Buckeye State — as it is throughout the country. Last week, Ohio’s Republican-controlled state Senate easily passed (22-9) a joint resolution that would send a constitutional amendment ballot question to voters. Every Democrat voted against the measure. The resolution now moves to the GOP-led House, where it must pass with a three-fifths majority. Republicans have the votes, but some conservatives want to see photo ID for absentee ballots...

Despite intensified diplomatic messaging, both sides have warned they will retaliate if attacked again, leaving the region in a highly unstable standoff where deterrence and escalation risks remain tightly intertwined.

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake off the northwest coast of Cuba led to reports of light shaking in parts of Florida on Monday afternoon, including in South Florida. According to the United States Geological Survey, the magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck about 65 miles to the west-northwest of Mantua, Cuba, which is to the west of Havana. The epicenter was about 376 miles from Miami. "Shaking from the recent M6.1 earthquake offshore of Cuba was felt in Florida, where earthquakes are not commonly felt. Did you feel it? (If you're in the area and did not feel it, that's data too!)," USGS...

The First Amendment forbids the government from forcing you to disclose the groups or organizations that you support. That is because the First Amendment guarantees our right to associate with others, and associational privacy is fundamental to that freedom. Nevertheless, in complete disregard for these associational rights, the Securities and Exchange Commission currently requires investors to disclose the businesses they support financially. No government agency has the authority to compel Americans to disclose the companies in which they invest. Yet for several years, the SEC has done exactly that through a surveillance program called the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). The...

Candidate Nithya Raman in the Los Angeles mayoral race came in third place on election night, June 2, so far behind second place finisher Spencer Platt that she essentially conceded the election in a tearful farewell. And then, miracle of miracle, over the next few days as more and more mail-in ballots kept rolling in, Raman suddenly surged in the votes, often exceeding first place Karen Bass in some counts and doubling the percentage of her election day returns to the extent that by Sunday she surpassed Pratt in the vote, thus apparently landing a spot in the November runoff...
