Former San Francisco Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff has launched a profanity-filled attack over the club’s ongoing Pride Night controversy. The former Giant directed much of his criticism at the questions team president Buster Posey faced from reporters while defending what he believes Posey wanted to say publicly. According to TMZ, Huff, who helped the Giants win World Series titles in 2010 and 2012, posted a series of messages on X after Posey declined to answer questions Tuesday regarding the organization’s Pride Night controversy, which has remained in the spotlight following Major League Baseball’s decision to warn several Giants pitchers...

THREE more former military bases are to be turned into migrant housing as part of Labour’s plan to close asylum hotels. The sites would hold 3,750 people, if approved. They are a Ministry of Defence site in Bicester, Oxfordshire, RAF Barnham in Suffolk, and RAF Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire. The Tories abandoned plans for a 1,500-person centre in tiny Linton in 2022. Labour’s plans announced today also include extending the use of Crowborough training camp, East Sussex, to 2030. It was taken over this year despite huge protests. And there are plans to retain the ex-Ministry of Defence Police base...

Buster Posey tried to move on from the Giants’ Pride Night controversy. Instead, his response seemed to frustrate just about everyone. The Giants president of baseball operations met with reporters Tuesday at Oracle Park and opened with a brief statement acknowledging that fans had “strong feelings” about the issue. But when follow-up questions came, Posey repeatedly shut them down. “I’ll answer baseball questions,” Posey said. That did not go over well. The controversy began on June 12, when Giants pitchers Landen Roupp, J.T. Brubaker and Ryan Walker wrote Bible verse references on their Pride Night caps. A fourth pitcher, Sam...

A fiery confrontation erupted during a congressional hearing as DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Rep. Rosa DeLauro clashed over immigration policies, border security, and child separation. Mullin fired back, accusing the congresswoman of ignoring issues involving unaccompanied migrant children during the Biden administration and challenging her criticism during a tense back-and-forth.

DILLON: "Why do the Padres have to wear gay uniforms? That doesn't make any sense to me." "As a gay person, I never said why I need the Padres to be gay." "Why is Citibank gay? Why is Chase gay?" "Why does this help anyone that a corporation is trans? Why is Chobani Yogurt trans? What's the point of this? Does this get people healthcare? Does this make people happy?" ROGAN: "It makes some people happy." DILLON: "It makes some people happy that I worry about because I just don't understand, and it makes more people angry." DILLON: "That's why...

On Thursday, elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted a commercial cargo vessel flying the Singapore flag within the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Citing two senior American officials, The Wall Street Journal reported that the assault inflicted significant damage on the ship’s bridge, though no injuries or fatalities were reported. Concurrently, a regulatory Iranian state body known as the Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) issued a strict warning regarding maritime lanes on Thursday. The agency, which holds an official mandate to supervise and govern transit through the chokepoint, announced that any vessels traveling via routes outside its designated framework...

Backsliding on climate action would drive the Labour party into political obscurity, Zack Polanski has warned, as trade union leaders said more drilling in the North Sea would not help UK workers. The Green party leader, speaking to the Guardian as searing heat swept the country for the second time this year, urged Andy Burnham – widely expected to be the UK’s next prime minister – to be bold on climate justice. He said any move to water down the party’s commitments would have dire consequences at the ballot box. “Half measures or backsliding on climate action would be a...

There’s a seeming paradox at the epicenter of the political earthquake that hit New York City on Tuesday night, when a trio of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Zohran Mamdani–backed candidates triumphed in congressional primaries across the city. The progressive candidates who claim to represent a working-class revolution won thanks to the votes of the well-educated, credentialed, and affluent, while low-income New Yorkers tended to back the more moderate candidate. The results reflect a nationwide political reality: Across the country, higher education and income increasingly correlate with progressive voting, while working-class voters—including in long-established immigrant communities—opt for more moderate...

Iran's Revolutionary Guards attacked a Singapore-flagged commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, a U.S. official confirmed to CBS News, posing a challenge to President Trump's efforts to reopen the critical shipping corridor. The ship's bridge was damaged after it was struck on its starboard side by an "unknown projectile" off the coast of Dahit, Oman, according to an advisory from the U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Centre. The advisory said no casualties or environmental impact were reported. After the strike, the United Nations' International Maritime Organization temporarily paused a days-old plan to evacuate many of the vessels stranded...

The German far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), could be closing in on power at the state level for the first time since the Nazi regime's defeat in World War II 81 years ago. Polling suggests the party is far ahead of its rivals in Saxony‑Anhalt and, crucially, within striking distance of an outright majority that would defeat mainstream parties' traditional Brandmauer—or "firewall"—against a far-right government. Germany's electoral system of proportional representation means that most governments at the national and regional level are coalitions. The "firewall" is an agreement of non‑cooperation in which mainstream parties do not govern with, or...

A blacklisted Chinese company claims to have developed a "cyber nuclear weapon" that could be used to hack Western companies and governments. Zhou Hongyi, the chief executive of cybersecurity company Qihoo 360, said it had built an AI system that matched the capabilities of Anthropic's Claude Mythos, the most powerful US AI technology. Qihoo has been blacklisted by the US government since 2020 over claims that it is linked to the Chinese military. Earlier this month, the Pentagon accused Qihoo of being a "military civil fusion contributor to the Chinese defence industrial base" tied to Beijing's intelligence agencies. ...China will...

Senator John Kennedy slams the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, calling them 'Bolsheviks' and 'stone-cold crazy.' He critiques their socialist agenda, saying it 'lowers his IQ' and is out of touch with mainstream America.

@RandPaul Gain-of-function research in foreign labs is a public health threat. Funding it with taxpayer dollars without oversight is reckless. Hiding the evidence is a crime against the American people. Dr. Fauci's NIH did all three. They funded dangerous experiments in Wuhan, buried the evidence, and silenced anyone who tried to tell the truth. I have spent years fighting to expose it, and I am not finished.

I've been reading about the expiration of the 2011 Secure Boot certificates today, mainly with regards to Windows OS systems. Many of those users are dealing with older hardware that will not be getting a BIOS firmware update from the PC/laptop manufactures to get those certificates updated to the latest (2023) versions. The big appeal of getting users onto Linux was the ability to use older hardware that Microsoft deemed incapable of receiving the latest OS installs and updates. Sounds great, but now I am reading this issue carries over into Linux. For so long, we've been told something like...

Fake USB sticks used by the Japanese army spread a China-linked computer virus inside a secure network for nearly a year before they were found to contain malware, Japan’s Nikkei newspaper reported on Thursday. The flash drives were delivered to Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force during disaster relief operations in March 2024 following an earthquake in central Japan, the paper said, citing internal army documents. The infection was not discovered until February 2025, when a Japanese soldier in Itami, near Osaka, reported that a computer was operating slowly. A scan revealed that it had been infected by a virus carried on...

Ten years following the landmark vote, the EU's former Brexit negotiator said the bloc's door is open to the UK, but that London "cannot cherry-pick" EU policies. Former European Union Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier told Euronews that it is up to the United Kingdom to decide whether it would want to rejoin the bloc, but that Brussels has made its conditions clear. His comments come ten years after the UK voted to leave the EU by 52% to 48%, and at a time when polling shows a clear majority of the British public, across party lines, views doing so as...

All branches of the U.S. military began once again requiring their recruits to get flu vaccines earlier this month, an exception to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to lift the military's vaccine mandate, a Pentagon official confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday. The news comes as Lackland Air Force Base in Texas — home to the Air Force's Basic Military Training program — grapples with a flu outbreak that has infected 275 people in recent weeks, a congressional staffer with knowledge of the matter told CBS News. The process of reinstating the mandate for recruits began before the Lackland outbreak...

Explanation: The Sun has just set... in the opposite side of the sky. Pictured here are anticrepuscular rays apparently converging in the east in this image of the limestone plateau in the heart of the Hyblaean Mountains of southeastern Sicily, in Italy. How were these anticrepuscular rays formed, if the Sun wasn't there? After the Sun set (in the west, as usual) its light still illuminated a cloud higher up in the sky. Partially blocked by the cloud, the sunlight produced patterns of light and shadow, crossing the sky in parallel lines. Perspective makes it look like they converge in...

Lance Twiggs was living with Robinson when Kirk was killed last year.A judge on Monday dismissed a motion by Tyler Robinson’s attorneys to subpoena his former romantic partner to testify in court next month. Robinson, 23, is accused of killing right-wing activist Charlie Kirk as he spoke at a campus debate at Utah Valley University in Orem last year. Robinson faces multiple charges in connection with the killing, including felony aggravated murder. On Monday, state District Judge Tony Graf Jr. granted prosecutors’ motion to quash a subpoena brought by defense attorneys to have Lance Twiggs testify live in Utah at...

BREWSTER COUNTY, Texas (KOSA) - A multi-agency operation in Pecos led to the rescue of seven human trafficking victims and the arrest of 24 people, according to the Reeves County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators said the discovery was made during a June 13 search warrant execution at El Ranchito Night Club, an adult entertainment establishment that had been operating out of compliance with a local ordinance. Authorities said residents began reporting suspected violations as El Ranchito continued operating. The Reeves County Sheriff’s Office then launched an investigation, which led to a search warrant. “That’s how we were able to develop our...
