US military personnel captured an eerie flying saucer UFO in incredible new footage that has just been released to the public. Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp say the video was recorded by government personnel over the Afghan-Pakistan border in November 2020. They released it to the public on Tuesday. It shows a massive disc weaving in and out of cloud cover. The Department of Defense labeled the disc a UAP - unidentified anomalous phenomena - and it looks markedly different to other 'tic-tac'-shaped UFOs seen in recent military footage. The raw thermal imagery, along with two additional enhanced...

They’re not against nuclear weapons; they’re for our enemies.The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons won a Nobel Peace Prize for its opposition to the existence of nuclear weapons. Its slogan was ‘We must eliminate nuclear weapons before they eliminate us.’ Unless the nukes are in the hands of Islamic terrorists. After Israel launched its campaign to end Iran’s nuclear weapons program, ICAN denied that Iran was developing nuclear weapons and instead condemned Israel for striking Iran’s nukes. International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, which helped found ICAN, also condemned Israel and instead urged it to create...

It is home to Wall Street, the major banks and the traders that dominate the global markets. On Billionaires’ Row, along 57th Street, the average apartment costs $22m, and often far more. New York has always been the most ruthlessly capitalist city on Earth, a place where money could be made quicker than anywhere else. As the old song has it, if you could make it there, you could make it anywhere.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded to state assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday night. Why it matters: Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, is on course for an earthquake victory after running an extraordinary grassroots campaign focused on affordability in America's largest city. - Mamdani was leading 10 other Democrats — including his top opponent, scandal-ridden Cuomo — in the first round of the ranked-choice election as of late Tuesday night. - Mamdani's policy proposals include rent freezes, free buses, and city-run grocery stores, all funded by $10 billion in new taxes on...

General Motors CEO Mary Barra has publicly cozied up to the Trump administration in recent months, including promoting a major investment in the United States last week, but her tenure at the company has included several examples of the company shipping production and jobs overseas. "I'm actually looking forward to working with the president and with the administration, because I think we can grow the importance of the auto industry and manufacturing, and so I think there's a lot that we have in common," Barra said about the incoming Trump administration in December 2024. This month, GM announced that it...

A top staffer in the federal agency overseeing personnel for the Trump administration has denounced the US strikes on Iran as “pointless” and suggested the decision was made by members of DC’s “deep state.” Andrew Kloster, who serves as general counsel at the Office of Personnel Management, tweeted — and then deleted — a string of posts ripping the US for having sent “handouts” to Israel in the past and for previously downplaying the threat of Tehran getting a nuclear weapon. Within a half-hour of President Trump announcing successful US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities Saturday night, Kloster wrote on...

Protestors shout slogans and wave Palestinian flags as they rally in support of pro-Palestinian group Palestine Action after British government announced the group’s ban, in Trafalgar Square, in central London, on June 23, 2025. Henry Nicholls / AFPIt is bad enough that Europe’s spineless leaders have done all they can to avoid taking sides with democratic Israel against Islamist Iran. But it will be even worse if they refuse to fight the intensifying political war on the home front, against the anti-Western alliance that has come out in support of Iran and its terrorist satellites. Even when the likes of...

Writer Andy Greenberg at Wired.com has replicated the 3D-printed pistol and silencer used to assassinate UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. The task took him several days and thousands of dollars worth of time, machinery, and parts. Greenberg does a credible job of explaining the process and the lengths he had to go through to do so legally. With personal advice from an acknowledged 3D gun printing expert, a serious budget from Wired, and a licensed silencer manufacturer, Greenberg succeeded in the State of Louisiana. The action took place in Louisiana because much would have been illegal under...

It took one text message to turn Maria Murillo’s world upside down. It was from her husband, a gardener on a landscaping job on a balmy weekday morning in La Mirada, she said. “I’m (expletive)ed…,” it read, but in Spanish. A video from the scene that June 18 morning showed why, according to the family. It appears to show federal agents parked curbside in a blue SUV, alongside a La Mirada sidewalk. Moments later, the video showed what appears to be two agents escorting a man to a vehicle. “Excuse me, but what’s your name, so your family can know,”...

This is how unserious our government leaders are about immigration: A judge in Tennessee is about to release self-professed illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia from jail, even though she knows he’s in the country unlawfully — meaning, he’s a criminal — and knows that when she orders the release he’ll be immediately apprehended by immigration authorities. U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes on Sunday ruled that the Trump administration had failed to prove that Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national, was a likely flight risk or threat to the public in the run-up to his human trafficking trial. She acknowledged, however, that...

Everything Democrats warned about before Trump returned to office is exactly what they’re either now celebrating or dismissing. President Donald Trump’s second term has been plagued by leftist-led lawfare — with unelected, inferior court judges usurping executive authority in an effort to obstruct or dictate presidential actions. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted in a March interview with Kristen Welker that lawfare is part of Democrats’ success strategy. “Now we have to fight that back in every single way. And we actually have had over 100 cases in the courts where we’ve had a very good record of success. So...

Internal MAGA opposition to President Donald Trump’s support for Israel’s campaign to destroy the Iranian nuclear program is not about helping him preserve his legacy or holding him to his promises about avoiding Middle East conflicts or foregoing regime-change wars. If these issues were that important to the right-wing voices who are now rising against his Iran policy, they could’ve voted instead for Kamala Harris, who, like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, wanted to legitimize Iran’s bomb and flood Iran’s war chests with hundreds of billions of dollars. Trump voters knew exactly where Trump stood on Iran because he has...

393 views Jun 23, 2025 Is the human race viable? This video delves into the profound and often uncomfortable question of human existence, exploring the perspectives of philosophical pessimism and anti-natalism. We examine why some of history's greatest minds, and contemporary thinkers, argue that bringing new life into the world is not an act of love, but potentially an act of cruelty. Arthur Schopenhauer: The German philosopher is renowned for his 1818 work, The World as Will and Representation, which posits that the phenomenal world is a manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will. For Schopenhauer, human "willing"—desiring and...

President Trump and the NATO Secretary General spoke today about the Israel-Iran ceasefire at the NATO 2025 summit. "I was 'proud' of Israel because they pulled their planes back," he said, commenting on the exchange of hostilities a few hours after the beginning of the ceasefire. Israel claimed not to have aborted the attack completely, but rather - at Trump's request - limited it to a single Iranian installation. Trump also claimed to be optimistic about the future of the deal: "I think we'll have somewhat of a relationship with Iran." Trump commented on reports that Operation Midnight Hammer had...

The New York City mayor's race is this way by design. The polls showing that Zohran Mamdani, a socialist and Muslim terror supporter who only became a citizenship in 2018, could become the mayor of New York City, where his compatriots murdered thousands of Americans, may or may not be true, but there’s no reason why they wouldn’t be. Mamdani is up against Cuomo, a repulsive and widely hated figure that opponents of the Muslim socialist are only getting behind because the alternative is even worse, and then Mayor Eric Adams, whom much of the city probably right believes is...

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will soon start a massive advertising blitz to encourage uptake of wearables such as fitness trackers among Americans, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on June 24. “We’re about to launch one of the biggest advertising campaigns in HHS history to encourage Americans to use wearables,” Kennedy said on Capitol Hill in Washington during a congressional hearing. Rep. Troy Balderson (R-Ohio) spoke positively about what he described as innovative wellness tools and asked Kennedy to describe how the government is promoting access to such tools.

Eleven Iranian nationals have been arrested in the last 48 hours by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across eight different states and nine cities, according to CBS News. This development comes in the wake of a nationwide security alert issued after the U.S. carried out a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities this past weekend. ... One of the individuals arrested is Mehran Makari Saheli, who is a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). ICE arrested Saheli at his home in Minnesota where he "admitted connections to Hezbollah," an Iranian-funded terrorist organization. ... On Sunday, authorities also...
