Last week, authorities received a warning from the Military Intelligence Service, as well as allied services, that diversionary actions could take place on the border with Russia - including border violations by armed groups. The police secure the royal region for possible events that could lead to acts of diversion - says RMF FM Marek Boroń. Therefore, reinforcements from police commands from several voivodships [jurisdictions: comparable to a county] came to the borderland. This is due to the information we also have from external services. We are to take care of the safety of the citizens who live there, but...

You don’t have to be a pioneer on the Oregon Trail to catch the bug that causes dysentery. Nowadays, the infection is spreading more through sex — and evolving into something that’s “close to untreatable,” one expert said. Shigella bacteria infect nearly half a million people in the US every year — causing diarrhea with blood or mucus (the hallmark of a dysentery infection), stomach pain, cramps, fever and vomiting. Scientists are learning more about why the disturbing disease is spreading so quickly, and why it’s developing a resistance to treatment. ...

We're hearing reports of sky-high GOP turnout in states across the country. That's excellent news for Republicans and even better news for America: if we get out and vote, we can block the Democrats from taking power and trying to dismantle this nation to rebuild it as a socialist state.

Greenland’s parliament on Tuesday ratified the Arctic island’s security agreement struck earlier this year with U.S. President Donald Trump, although some opposition party members questioned the deal’s economic value. The United States, Denmark and Greenland in September signed the agreement, aimed at ending tensions after Trump’s repeated threats to take control of the strategically located and mineral-rich island, a self-governing Danish territory. The deal expands the U.S. military’s role in Greenland, paving the way for two new military bases and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense system, while reaffirming Danish sovereignty and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. A majority of lawmakers had...

Ship 42 has fired its engines for the last time on the ground, and Elon Musk just made a promise about it that no Starship has ever kept. The FAA moved Flight 15. SpaceX hasn't said a date. We did, last episode, and the new one doesn't match ours. Musk also posted a launch number for Louisiana that makes the FAA's biggest Starbase plan look small. NASA stacked the Artemis III core stage and said who flies first. And ULA’s Vulcan rocket has a date you'll want to hear. So, when does Flight 15 fly? SpaceX's Starship 42 Fired Its...

Billionaire media mogul David Geffen has reportedly rekindled his romance with his ex-husband Donovan Michaels, just months after their bitter divorce and an explosive lawsuit. The 83-year-old entertainment titan and his 33-year-old former spouse appeared 'very much back together' during an October outing aboard Geffen's 454-foot superyacht Rising Sun, sources told Page Six.

The Department of Homeland Security has blasted California’s sanctuary policies, claiming the state released nearly 24,000 undocumented immigrants from jail since January 2025 rather than handing them over to ICE. DHS said the cases involved more than 81,000 criminal charges or convictions, including 169 homicides, 147 sexual assaults, 1,097 assaults and 3,295 burglaries. “Governor Gavin Newsom and his cronies in California have turned the Golden State into a hotbed of illegal alien crime,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. He added that sanctuary politicians have not only refused to cooperate with law enforcement and “released murderers, child abusers, kidnappers, and gang...

The New York Times recently highlighted an alleged list of more than 1,000 Michigan voters, described as primarily Jewish Americans, who have endorsed Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (D) for the U.S. Senate over Republican Mike Rogers. The document, which is still available online, presents those participating as a show of support from Jewish “leaders” and community members. A closer look at the names, however, raises instant questions about the list’s credibility. One in particular would make Bart Simpson proud. Jack Mehoff. No, seriously. That name is on the list. What, was Hugh Jass not available? Conservative political commentator and online media...

We live at a time when we are facing a relentless wave of AI cyberattacks, and they are becoming insanely sophisticated. On Monday, refrigeration units in supermarkets all over Europe were successfully attacked. But I am not going to talk about that today. In this article, I am going to talk about the sort of AI cyberattack that could turn off your electricity for an extended period of time. This is not a theoretical threat. Hackers have been repeatedly attacking Internet-exposed programmable logic controllers in recent months, and a successful attack could potentially plunge a large portion of the country...

She announced that she was now running the court. Nawrocki told the pilot to turn around at around 6:12 in the evening, and by midnight he was standing inside the Tribunal building beside...

I really hate AI, but I thought this setup was nice - for once. John Voight starts out and then it transistions to the AI with Congress arguing. Then Frnaklin give his speech.
