Iran has defied international demands to rein in its nuclear program and has increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, according to a confidential report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog seen Tuesday by The Associated Press. The report by the International Atomic Energy Agency said that as of Oct. 26, Iran has 182.3 kilograms (401.9 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60%, an increase of 17.6 kilograms (38.8 pounds) since the last report in August. Uranium enriched at 60% purity is just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%. The IAEA also estimated...

When he takes the oath of office in January, Donald J. Trump will make history as the first court-adjudicated sexual abuser to assume the presidency. But if he gets the team of his choice, he will not be the only one in the room whose conduct has been called into question.Mr. Trump, who was found liable in a civil trial last year of accosting a woman, has selected a defense secretary, an attorney general, a secretary of health and human services and an efficiency czar, all of whom have been accused of variations of sexual misconduct and, like the president-elect,...

The University of California, Berkeley, will offer a course in spring 2025 that describes Hamas as a “revolutionary resistance force fighting settler colonialism.” According to a screenshot posted by Eyal Yakoby, the course, titled “English Composition in Connection with the Reading of World Literature, Leninism and Anarchism: A Theoretical Approach to Literature and Film,” is set to be offered in spring 2025. In addition to describing Hamas as a “revolutionary resistance force,” the course description also accuses America of funding “genocide.” ”With the US-backed and -funded genocide being carried out against Indigenous Palestinians by the Israeli Occupying Force, many have...

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger stressed the benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI) in his final book “Genesis: Artificial Intelligence, Hope, and the Human Spirit,” examining what the technology means for the world. In a pre-recorded promotional video for the book released Tuesday, Kissinger said through the use of the new technology, “humanity [is] trying to wield a power which they cannot possibly understand.” Kissinger passed away in November 2023, but wrote the book in collaboration with technology leaders Eric Schmidt and Craig Mundie. It was published posthumously on Tuesday. “Eric, Craig, and I decided to write Genesis...

Hey Nate, we weren't coordinating with the Trump campaign like I think an investigation could find that Selzer may have been. I control the numbers completely myself, and they are 100% a product of my own work. You should probably retract that. BTW, I refuse to pay to read this crap, but I'm pretty sure you're going to talk about the accuracy of polls on 11/4 and ignore the fact that they were manufacturing a fake Harris lead all fall (like your model also helped do by inserting additional leftward bias as compared to RCP). We, alone, showed Trump winning...

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Tuesday that Hezbollah had fired rockets that struck United Nations Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) peacekeepers in southern Lebanon — not once, but twice in the same day. In a first statement, the IDF said: Earlier today (Tuesday), a report was received that a UNIFIL post in the area of Ramyeh in southern Lebanon was hit, causing a number of injuries and damage to the post. An IDF review determined that Hezbollah fired a rocket that hit the UNIFIL post. The rocket was fired from the area of Deir Aames, one of many fired...

MSNBC ‘Morning Joe’ co-host Mika Brzezinski had a meltdown on Thursday as she slammed former US president Donald Trump. Throughout her 90-second rant, the MSNBC anchor referred to Trump as a fascist and that he is “killing us”, referring to women. Brzezinski’s meltdown came as part of a 10-minute segment where hosts discussed Trump’s involvement as Roe v Wade was overturned. Brzezinski used the former president’s installation of the three pro-life justices to his alleged “obsession” with Hiter

More than a dozen pro-abortion activists were arrested at a peaceful men’s pro-life demonstration in Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday for allegedly acting in an “unlawful, riotous, and tumultuous manner,” according to police. Fourteen people were arrested, “most or all” of whom were pro-abortion counter-protesters at the The National Men’s March to Abolish Abortion and Rally for Personhood, the Boston Globe reported, citing police. Those arrested were identified as Julia Coughlin, 26; Jennifer Adams, 22; Joseph McDonald, 26; Gary Ervin, 28; Aiden Burke, 24; Charles McDonald, 21; Laurel Clapp Fox, 25; Sofia Rose, 24; Mitchell Lawson, 27; Meiya Sparks Lin, 24;...

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” senior contributor Mike Barnicle said Tuesday that he doesn’t know how political commentators on cable news can make themselves “relevant again.”Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “New research shows one in five adults regularly get their news from influencers on social media. The number is even higher among younger Americans with almost 40% under the age of 30 getting their news from those sources. According to the Pew Research Center the social media site X remains the most widely accessed platform followed by Instagram and YouTube.”

Without explanation, the Georgia Court of Appeals canceled oral arguments over whether Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from prosecuting President-elect Donald Trump and his allies on state RICO charges. Next month, the state's appellate court was scheduled to hear Trump's legal team — as well as lawyers representing his eight remaining co-defendants — argue for the Democrat DA's disqualification after a Fulton County judge allowed Willis to remain in charge of the election interference case (so long as her lover, then-special prosecutor Nathan Wade, stepped aside). However, roughly two-and-a-half weeks out, the December 5 court date...

The madman who allegedly killed two people during a stabbing spree in Manhattan had just recently been released from prison, it has been revealed. Ramon Rivera, 51, was released from Rikers Island on October 17 after being arrested on charges of burglary in the third-degree and assault in the third-degree on February 19, PIX 11 reports. Police accused him at the time of being responsible for a pattern of burglaries throughout Manhattan, dating back to December 2023, when a thief smashed glass doors and windows of bodegas and smoke shops to steal thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes, vapes and...

Ukraine has fired US-supplied longer-range missiles at Russian territory for the first time, the Russian government said, a day after Washington gave its permission for such attacks. US officials also confirmed use of the Army Tactical Missile System (Atacms) to CBS news, the BBC's US partner. Ukraine has not commented. Russia's defence ministry said the strike targeted the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine to the north on Tuesday morning. Five missiles were shot down and one damaged, with its fragments causing a fire at a military facility in the region, the ministry said. Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov accused Washington of...

The House Ethics Committee is scheduled to meet Wednesday. And if members vote on whether to share their investigative findings about attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz, it would only take one Republican to trigger the release of the report. The panel is evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, and it only requires a majority vote in the private meeting to release the report. A tie would defer to the party that controls the House — meaning if all Republicans voted against releasing it, the report would not be published. But it would only take one, combined with all Democrats, to...

The Lindy Boggs Room in the Capitol is the reason for the fight. The Republicans will control it but its for all the women members of Congress.

In a new report released, the office says it has "no indication or confirmation" that UFO reports are "attributable to foreign adversaries." AARO's latest findings might not sit well with some in the UFO/UAP community. That's because, just last week, a quartet of high-profile witnesses — including a retired U.S. Navy rear admiral, a former NASA associate administrator and a former U.S. counterintelligence officer — told the U.S. House of Representatives that a wide-ranging and long-running government conspiracy has, for decades, served to "hide the fact that we are not alone in the cosmos" from the American public. We are...

Donald Trump Jr., the eldest son of President-elect Trump, claimed the Biden administration is trying to cause “World War 3” by helping Ukraine in its war with Russia.“The Military Industrial Complex seems to want to make sure they get World War 3 going before my father has a chance to create peace and save lives,” Trump Jr. posted on the social platform X. “Gotta lock in those $Trillions. Life be dammed!!! Imbeciles!”
