 My son has narrated the last book I wrote.
Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Russian Drone Strikes Train Near Ex-CIA Chief Former CIA Director David Petraeus was at a Ukrainian train station Sunday when a Russian drone struck a Poland-bound train there. Petraeus, a retired U.S. Army general, was aboard a separate passenger train at Yahodyn station near the Polish border when a jet-powered Russian drone struck the locomotive of a nearby train, according to multiple reports. Petraeus said passengers on his train heard drones overhead and were evacuated after passing through Ukrainian customs. A large explosion followed. "For those who have not been under fire, this was terrifying," Petraeus said, The New York Times reported, calling the strike the work of a "truly barbaric leader trying to terrorize Ukrainian civilians."
Tom Homan's 'incredibly alarming' threat against Dem sparks outrage President Donald Trump's border czar sparked outrage Sunday after he lobbed a threat against a Democratic lawmaker during an interview on Fox News. Tom Homan was asked about a potential investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) over her naturalization during Fox News's show "The Sunday Briefing." He confirmed a criminal investigation into the lawmaker and outlined some of the areas of interest the government is investigating. "What would need to happen for her to be kicked out of the country if some fraud is proven?" the host asked Homan. "Is there a denaturalization case that is being brought against her?" "We have denaturalized citizens based on fraud, based on lying on their applications, or misrepresenting themselves during the process, or misrepresenting the organizations they belong to, or the beliefs they have," Homan said. ISIS-inspired mass shooting conspirer removed by 'zombie' court in first of a kind case The Justice Department filed its first-ever application with the secretive court established by Congress in 1996 A supporter of an ISIS-inspired mass shooting plot has been removed from the United States through the first-ever use of a "zombie court" by the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ). The DOJ filed its first-ever application for a removal order before the United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court (ATRC) in July targeting 47-year-old Afghan national Nazira Haji Zada, who conceded to supporting a plot by her sons to conduct an ISIS-inspired mass shooting on Election Day 2024. The ATRC issued an order of removal on Aug. 20 that was unsealed Friday. Zada has since been removed to her country of origin. She is now permanently inadmissible to the U.S., according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This was the first use of the ATRC in its nearly 30-year history. Congress established the court to allow the government to deport noncitizens suspected of terrorism through a specialized judicial process that relies on classified evidence. Despite being established decades ago, the ATRC has remained dormant since its creation, leading legal scholars to refer to it as a "zombie" court. Putin left humiliated as Ukraine launch 'most important attack of year' Vladimir Putin has suffered a major setback on the battlefield following Ukraine's launch of what's being called the "most important attack of the year". Open-source intelligence (OSINT) analysts believe Ukraine has reclaimed 77 square miles of territory after launching an offensive near a town that Putin confidently declared was under Russian control. Putin bragged that generals informed him they had seized 14 towns in Ukraine's Donbas region, "including... as of yesterday, the town of Sviatohirsk", he stated on September 1. However, fresh analysis reveals Ukrainian forces have retaken the area, with one video depicting a Ukrainian commander walking through what had been Russian-occupied territory. Trump responds to pardon plea from Lindsay Clancy’s lawyer President Trump indicated that he will not offer Lindsay Clancy a presidential pardon after the killer mom’s murder trial dramatically ended with a hung jury. The commander-in-chief implied that he’s unable to intervene since the high-profile case that gripped the nation for weeks is “actually a state situation, not a federal” one. “It’s a very sad situation,” Trump told reporters Sunday. “I certainly heard that, but look, it’s very sad. There is no winner there. There’s no win no matter what you do. Three children are dead.” OpenAI boss Sam Altman warns of two ways AI could go ‘very badly’ for humans — as China alleges ‘fear mongering’ OpenAI boss Sam Altman on Monday doubled down on his warnings about the safety risks of AI — even as the Chinese government called such alarm bells from US companies “fear mongering” it likened to “Cold War” tactics. “There are two ways AI progress could go very badly and that we must avoid. First, we could lose control of the future to AI. This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity,” Altman wrote in a post on X just after midnight Monday. “Second, we could end up in a world with too much concentration of power. If an extraordinarily powerful AI is used by one person or company to impress their worldview onto everyone else, the results could be extremely dystopian.” Altman and rival Elon Musk, who were earlier this year locked in a legal battle, over the weekend backed a lengthy letter from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urging global companies to slow their work on top AI models. Vance fires back after AI honchos demand to ‘slow the pace’ of tech development: ‘Bit of a Trojan horse’
Obama and the Dems are suspiciously sounding the ‘AI apocalypse’ alarm — just in time for the midterms Air Force colonel shot down over Iran reveals desperate prayer in 50-hour fight to survive An Air Force colonel shot down over Iran survived a terrifying fall, three broken bones and a two-day enemy manhunt after turning to God as his damaged parachute sent him plunging toward the desert. The colonel, identified only by his mission call sign "Bravo," revealed in a new interview with CBS News’ "60 Minutes" how a desperate prayer began an extraordinary 50-hour fight to make it home alive. "At one point when I looked up and saw no parachute, that was the most terrifying thing I’ve ever seen," Bravo said in his first public account of the April ordeal. "So I paused, right then, and I prayed, ‘Lord, your will be done. But if I’m getting through this, I need help.’ The colonel was the weapons systems officer seated behind the pilot of an F-15E Strike Eagle operating under the call sign Dude 44 when an Iranian shoulder-fired missile struck the aircraft April 2, according to CBS News. Libertarian tech mogul to hit DSA with an eight-figure spending nuke Make Liberty Win plans to mobilize youth activists to knock on doors of over 2 million voters across at least 12 states A wealthy tech investor is committing $40 million to help Republicans stem the tide of the Democratic Socialists of America in state-level races, Fox News Digital has learned. Scott Banister, a libertarian who was an early investor in PayPal, Uber and SpaceX, among others, cut the massive check to Make Liberty Win, a right-of-center political organization. The funding has already been partially deployed in nine states — Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, New Hampshire, West Virginia and Montana — with plans to expand the push to at least a dozen states. "Self-described socialists are running for office and winning in the Democratic Party, like recently elected New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani," a press release obtained by Fox News Digital reads. "Make Liberty Win’s campaign will stem the tide of the far-left by mobilizing student and youth activists to knock on the doors of more than two million voters in key states." Fed's Table Is Set for a Rate Hike, a First Under Warsh Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh dislikes giving any guidance about the likely path of U.S. interest rates, but elevated inflation, $100-a-barrel oil, and his own emphasis on the need to deliver price stability and to pay attention to signals from financial market pricing appear to leave little doubt about what's next. The U.S. central bank will announce its policy decision at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) on Wednesday following the end of a two-day meeting. Financial markets are betting heavily that Fed policymakers will lift their benchmark rate a quarter of a percentage point, to a 3.75%-4.00% range, and signal further tightening ahead. Such a decision could land Warsh, who has run the Fed's rate-setting committee since starting the job in May, in a tight place. Carnegie Mellon professor on leave as her disturbing X posts call for ‘white man’ to die while she dances A hate-filled Carnegie Mellon University professor is on a leave of absence as the school probes her “hostile and threatening” social media history, which included calling for a “white man” to die while she danced. Dr. Uju Anya, a Nigerian-born academic who has worked at the elite Pittsburgh research institution since 2021, initially bragged about being untouchable over her hateful online history, which has included wishing Queen Elizabeth II an “excruciating” painful death and celebrating the death of “s–tbag” Charlie Kirk. The school issued a statement announcing the investigation and noting she was on a “voluntary” leave a day after her vile response to a critic who challenged her over a hateful, years-old post in which she’d celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s death went viral on Friday after Elon Musk called her out. “Rush Limbaugh finally did something positive in life by dropping dead. Good Riddance to bad rubbish,” she wrote Feb. 17, 2021, the same day the conservative radio icon lost his battle to lung cancer. Report: Kennedy Center Near 'Certain Fiscal Collapse' The Kennedy Center is on the brink of bankruptcy and could close its main building as early as Tuesday amid mounting financial and structural problems, The Washington Post reported Sunday. Leaders of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts warn the institution could be unable to make payroll or pay routine maintenance bills "within a matter of weeks," the Post reported. Officials describe the situation as an imminent "certain fiscal collapse." The warnings are contained in a 57-page packet prepared for a special meeting Tuesday of the center's board of trustees, which is chaired by President Donald Trump.
SNL UK brutally mocks Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's UK return "Saturday Night Live" is back – in London, at least. The British spinoff "Saturday Night Live UK" returned for its second season on Saturday, Sept. 12, kicking things off with a cold open all about Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan's shocking return to the U.K. The opening sketch took place at Balmoral Castle in Scotland and featured Harry (Jack Shep) and Meghan (Ayoade Bamgboye) arriving to be greeted by King Charles (Larry Dean) and Queen Camilla (Emma Sidi). "Don't tell me you spent all your Netflix money already," Charles tells the couple, to which Harry replies, "It was $60 million! How long was it meant to last?" "What a waste you've become. You're lucky your father isn't around to see this," Charles tells Harry, drawing confusion from Harry and applause from the show's studio audience. The sketch also mocked Meghan by having the duchess, who hosted the Netflix cooking and lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan," enthusiastically tell Camilla that she is a "wiz in the kitchen" before Harry chimes in, "It's true. She hires the best cooks." Seattle business leaders show how to stand up for their city By Post Editorial Board
Seattle business leaders are offering an inspiring lesson in how to stand up for average citizens — who after all are their employees, customers and neighbors — against a political class dominated by the left. As the city’s socialist mayor chases her own agenda, CEOs from corporate heavyweights like Microsoft, Starbucks, Costco, Zillow and Nordstrom are demanding a “credible public-safety plan” that tackles deadly violence, open-air drug markets, and lagging police response times. What a shocker: Those “big evil corporations” actually want a better quality of life for Emerald City residents whose money and labor they rely on. Other cities run by progressive Democrats face similar struggles. I'm Jessica Tarlov, and sometimes I get it wrong. Accepting that is the first step towards better debates Believe it or not, I’m not always a fan of my home team. Sometimes the Democrats go too far By Jessica Tarlov
We’re less than two months away from election night, and if you watch Fox News Channel’s popular show "The Five,"where I share my views as a Democrat and co-host, you know I’m hoping the Democrats score big victories across the country. But believe it or not, I’m not always a fan of my home team. Sometimes the Democrats go too far. Sometimes they preach so intensely at the rest of us that we feel left out of our own party. When it comes to far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker and his views on Marxism and China, as I said recently, I don’t agree with an ounce of what he’s selling. And sometimes, with the benefit of hindsight, we get to see things differently. To me, two big moments stand out in this crazy political era over the last more than six years, when I believed one thing, then changed my mind. |
