A division within the FBI is asking defense contractors to report incursions by “unmanned systems” — including unidentified anomalous phenomena — that could pose a threat to U.S. national security. NewsNation special investigative correspondent Ross Coulthart has obtained a flyer produced by the FBI’s Office of the Private Sector announcing a new initiative to report unmanned systems such as drones and underwater vehicles that could pose a threat to defense facilities and “critical infrastructure” sites. The document notes an increase in “incursions over recent months” and says the unmanned systems “may be intended to disrupt operations or gauge U.S. response...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton, and CBS late-night host Stephen Colbert have called President Trump's $250 million privately funded construction of a White House ballroom a "desecration of a historic structure." Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) has gone even further and is now telling prospective Democrat 2028 presidential candidates "don't even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE of your presidential term on January 20, 2029." It's...

Charlie Kirk, the conservative influencer who was assassinated in September, and Nick Fuentes, the young Hitler-loving white nationalist at the center of a growing schism on the right, were bitter enemies. Fuentes despised Kirk for his support of Israel, and, more broadly, for his efforts to marginalize Fuentes’s gleefully racist and fascist brand of politics. In 2019, seeking to expose Kirk as “anti-white” and a “fake patriot,” Fuentes organized his army of young fans — known as Groypers, after a variant on the alt-right Pepe the Frog meme — to flood events held by Kirk’s organization, Turning Point, and ask...

White people always get the blame for slavery, but what about the Black Kings, the Arabs, and the Jews? Oh, for Christ's sake, we're always seen as the sole villains who created slavery, while everyone else played innocent. Lies! This video tears through that rubbish with fury: African kings in Dahomey and Kongo, those ruthless tycoons flogging captives for profit like it was a Sunday market. Arab sultans? Masters of misery, castrating slaves and hauling them across the Sahara to stuff Ottoman harems and Persian courts, long before any white bloke showed up. Jewish merchants chucking in cash and fleets,...

A Florida sheriff’s deputy heroically rescued a 7-year-old boy over the weekend by stopping his knife-wielding older brother with a single, precise shot to the head, authorities said. Bodycam footage has captured the moment the deputy kicked down a locked bedroom door after hearing the boy’s desperate cries for help, moments before opening fire. The incident happened Sunday when Deputy Anthony Gonzalez, 25, responded to a frantic domestic violence call at a home near Tampa, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office. The suspect, Mario Camacho, 27, was reportedly armed with a knife and choking his younger brother. Camacho’s sister,...

The State Department on Monday officially updated its designation for Nigeria as a "Country of Particular Concern" for its alleged severe violations of religious freedom and persecution of Christians.

A former special agent says the agency has become top-heavy and self-absorbed. “Uh, Pat, the FBI is at the door,” my wife called out to me on an otherwise quiet Tuesday morning last month. Those words would strike fear in most, but this wasn’t the first time I’d heard such a thing. In my almost two decades with the FBI, colleagues helped with childcare, invited one another over for holidays, and drove each other to doctor appointments. A pop-in wasn’t out of the ordinary. But this time seemed different, and I could hear it in my wife’s voice. Two agents...

National media polls are continuing to distort President Donald Trump's support, John McLaughlin, a key pollster for the president's 2024 campaign, told Newsmax on Monday. "Absolutely not," McLaughlin said when asked on Newsmax's "Finnerty" if he trusts this year's surveys. "They're doing the same thing; they're trying to run down Donald Trump on purpose," he added. He said his firm's latest poll showed Trump with a 51% approval rating and 46% disapproval but added a Washington Post-Ipsos survey was "a poll of adults polluted with nonvoters." "They weighted it down to 30%," he said. "That's 20 points less than we...

Scientists have upended long-held assumptions about thermal conductivity, revealing that boron arsenide crystals can conduct heat even better than diamond. Researchers at the University of Houston have uncovered a major breakthrough in thermal conductivity, challenging long-standing assumptions about boron arsenide (BAs) and its ability to conduct heat compared to diamond. Their experiments revealed that when produced as high-quality crystals, boron arsenide can reach thermal conductivity levels above 2,100 watts per meter per Kelvin (W/mK) at room temperature, possibly outperforming diamond, which has long been regarded as the most effective heat conductor among isotropic materials. The findings, published Oct. 10 in...

Semi-artificial organic photocathode in operation. Credit: Celine Yeung Researchers at Cambridge have developed a solar-powered device that imitates photosynthesis to turn CO2, sunlight, and water into valuable chemical fuels. Their non-toxic “semi-artificial leaf” can run continuously and efficiently, producing pharmaceutical compounds with high purity. The discovery could help replace fossil fuels in chemical manufacturing and spark a new era of green chemistry. Sustainable Chemistry Breakthrough Scientists have found a sustainable new method for producing the essential chemicals that make up thousands of products we use every day, including plastics and cosmetics. The global chemical industry manufactures an enormous range of...
