    Los Angeles was devastated by wildfires back in January, and the area is still feeling the impacts of the disaster. So when $100 million was raised by two FireAid concerts at the Intuit Dome and Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring acts such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Green Day, Billie Elish, and Jelly Roll, you'd have thought the money would make its way to fire victims. Well, it's not that simple. Sue Pascoe, editor-in-chief at Circling The News, has the story of how this money ended up not going to fire victims, but instead making its way to...

    Last week, CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the FBI for a criminal investigation. Some reports claim the referral relates to Brennan potentially having perjured himself before Congress. But on Wednesday, President Donald Trump may have pointed to another direction the FBI probe may take. In an interview with reporter John Solomon, Trump said he would declassify an annex to the May 2023 report filed by John Durham, the special counsel appointed during Trump’s first term to investigate Russiagate. The annex, according to Solomon, deals with the “Clinton Plan intelligence”—and, says Solomon, “lawmakers and Durham...
  • Astronomy Picture of the Day - A Double Detonation Supernova

    Explanation: Can some supernovas explode twice? Yes, when the first explosion acts like a detonator for the second. This is a leading hypothesis for the cause of supernova remnant (SNR) 0509-67.5. In this two-star system, gravity causes the larger and fluffier star to give up mass to a smaller and denser white dwarf companion. Eventually the white dwarf's near-surface temperature goes so high that it explodes, creating a shock wave that goes both out and in -- and so triggers a full Type Ia supernova near the center. Recent images of the SNR 0509-67.5 system, like the featured image from...

    On May 23rd, The Times published an extraordinarily candid probe into how militarised drones have irrevocably revolutionised warfare in the 21st century, with Russia far at the forefront of this radical shakeup of how conflicts are waged. Meanwhile, there is little indication NATO members even vaguely comprehend this battlefield reality, let alone a single one of them is undertaking any serious measures whatsoever to prepare for conflict such as that currently unfolding and evolving daily throughout Ukraine’s eastern steppe.The Times piece is a first-person report of a visit to the assorted headquarters of Kiev’s 93rd Mechanised Brigade, in basements of...

    What does it really mean to have German ancestry? If you’ve taken a DNA test and seen the "Germanic" label, your story is far richer, older, and more dynamic than any single result. Groundbreaking genetic research reveals that Germans descend from a tapestry of Ice Age hunters, early farmers, horse-riding steppe migrants, Celtic warriors, and global travelers. Each left its enduring mark, blending survival, innovation, and migration into the DNA of modern Germans.

    A video showing federal agents walking through an Inland Empire grocery store Monday morning prompted a call for answers by community advocates. The video shared by the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice (ICIJ) showed agents exiting an “employees only” area at the Stater Bros. location on West Hold Boulevard in Ontario. The incident prompted ICIJ Executive Director Javier Hernandez to ask why the agents were allowed into the store and expressed concerns over the Ontario Police Department’s role in the operation. Stater Bros. issued a statement Monday afternoon regarding the incident. “Unannounced, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents informed...

    Former CIA Director John Brennan responds to accusations of a treasonous conspiracy to commit a soft coup" against Donald Trump from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard: FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN BRENNAN: Here we are again, Nicole. It is unsurprising, very troubling, and very dangerous. As Representative Haines said, the person who leads our intelligence community today would put out something like this that just mischaracterizes and misrepresents, in a wholesale manner, what the intelligence community did during the 2016 run-up to the presidential election. Again, the misrepresentations just are ludicrous. When I read through the material, it reminded me...

    A group of federal judges on Tuesday declined to extend Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney of New Jersey after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries launched a pressure campaign to oust her. Alina Habba’s term as interim US Attorney expires on Friday at 11:59 pm. Hakeem Jeffries called on federal district court judges appointed by Obama and Biden to remove Alina Habba over her decision to indict Rep. LaMonica McIver. “The so-called U.S. Attorney in NJ maliciously indicted Congresswoman LaMonica McIver for doing her job. Habba is a woefully unqualified political hack who must go. She must be rejected...

In 1967, this remarkable experimental aircraft, developed by North American Aviation, reached a stunning speed of Mach 6.7, a record for a crewed, powered aircraft that remains unbroken to this day.

    The Obama administration conspirators must be prosecuted — no matter who they are.It’s not all that surprising, given that it happened in an iteration of the dreaded Friday news dump, that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s revelations about the true genesis of the Russia hoax have not yet become the story of the century.It is that. The legacy corporate propaganda press will deny this fact to the moon and the stars, but that doesn’t change how historic Gabbard’s Friday release is.

    President Donald Trump announced Tuesday he had reached a settlement with CBS and Paramount triggered by a 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. 'We have just achieved a BIG AND IMPORTANT WIN in our Historic Lawsuit against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount,' Trump wrote on Truth Social. 'Just like ABC and George Slopadopoulos, CBS and its Corporate Owners knew that they defrauded the American People, and were desperate to settle.' Trump said that Paramount/CBS/60 Minutes paid $16 million in the settlement and anticipated an additional $20 million from the new owners of CBS in advertising, PSAs or similar...

    Toronto police say a 14-year-old boy has been charged with second-degree murder after stabbing a 71-year-old grandmother, Shahnaz Pestonja, in a parking lot while she was trying to load her groceries. Pestonji was rushed to an area hospital following the attack but ultimately succumbed to her injuries. Police described the attack as “unprovoked.” Although the suspect fled from the area, police announced the arrest after a “coordinated effort by multiple units.” A video the accused allegedly shared on social media, which has not been confirmed, relayed “excuses” for his monstrous act and might also have helped locate the suspect. Shahnaz...

    On Sunday, our thoughtful and reserved president reposted on his Truth Social site a video generated by artificial intelligence that falsely showed former President Obama being arrested and imprisoned. There are those among you who think this is high humor; those among you who who find it as tiresome as it is offensive; and those among you blissfully unaware of the mental morass that is Truth Social. Whatever camp you fall into, the video crosses all demographics by being expected — just another crazy Trump stunt in a repetitive cycle of division and diversion so frequent it makes Groundhog Day...

    The U.S. steel industry is back under President Donald J. Trump. After languishing under a Biden-era stranglehold — plagued by unfair foreign competition, job losses, and weakened national security as imports flooded the market and domestic production stalled — the steel industry is quickly roaring back to life.U.S. steelmakers are proving that strong leadership and protective tariffs are the keys to revitalizing American manufacturing.Ohio-based Cleveland-Cliffs announced record steel shipments in Q2 2025. CEO Lourenco Goncalves: “Cliffs is a major supplier of steel to the automotive manufacturers, and the Trump Administration continues to show strong support to both the domestic steel...

    New Jersey’s federal judges declined Tuesday to appoint Alina Habba, President Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. attorney in the state, to continue serving in that role, delivering a resounding rebuke to one of his administration’s most polarizing Justice Department appointees.The state’s U.S. district court judges made the announcement in a brief order that did not offer any explanation for their decision. The order — signed by Renee Marie Bumb, the chief federal judge for the District of New Jersey — appointed Desiree Leigh Grace, a career prosecutor who Habba had named as her first assistant U.S. attorney as her replacement...
