Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned Thursday after his extramarital affair raised national security concerns, in a spectacular downfall for the longtime head of the chipmaker, a vital player in the artificial intelligence boom. Huang faced growing calls to resign after his affair with a Chinese businesswoman who reportedly was also acting as a spy for Beijing. His troubles compounded late Wednesday after media reports said Huang had another extramarital affair with an Nvidia employee who reported to him. The ouster sets off a scramble to find a permanent replacement to lead Nvidia, which did not have a succession plan. The...

🚨 WOW! A mysterious object the size of a SCHOOL BUS may be hurtling toward Earth, and scientists aren't sure it's even an asteroid. It's reportedly been moving abnormally for the past few years and is EVEN ACCELERATING. One Harvard professor says it could be a MAN-MADE SPACECRAFT launched by the Soviet Union in 1988. A lost Soviet probe coming home almost 40 years later. You can't make this up. The good news is NASA is finally run by someone serious. Jared Isaacman is set to weigh in.— Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) November 12, 2026SOURCE: https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/2120876132836766189

President Donald Trump announced that he has directed Vice President JD Vance to drop negotiations to end the war with Iran and instead focus on alleged “CORRUPTION” in Democratic-run states. In a Thursday morning Truth Social post, Trump announced the new assignment for his vice president, who has spent months spearheading diplomatic efforts to end the conflict and recently blamed the war for Republicans’ devastating midterm election losses. "I have asked Vice President Vance to focus his complete and total attention on the Massive Corruption and Crime taking place in Democrat run Cities and States throughout the U.S. The Blue...

What could we do with these 12 billion euros? Lower fuel prices. Ease the burden on families. Improve care services. Keep hospitals open across the country. But the federal government is pouring this money into immigration into the welfare system," wrote AfD MP René Springer. ...

U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) said on Nov. 11 that he had secured the 218 signatures needed to force a House vote on a motion to bring up a bill that would allow sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s victims to sue over records they say the Department of Justice (DOJ) unlawfully withheld or redacted. Massie said in a post on X that he was working with Democratic Reps. Pramila Jayapal of Washington, Teresa Leger Fernández of New Mexico, and Ro Khanna of California to bring the bill to the floor “for a vote soon.” The White House didn’t respond to an...

Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered a 600-year-old burial complex holding 38 bodies — including one skeleton whose unusual position has raised questions about the possibility of human sacrifice. The graves were discovered at Chan Chan, an ancient pre-Incan city near Trujillo, Peru, roughly 350 miles north of Lima. Peru's Ministry of Culture announced the discovery earlier this fall, saying the nearly intact Chimú burial site had remained hidden for over six centuries. Images shared with Fox News Digital by officials at the Ministry of Culture show an assortment of ancient ceramic vessels, including decorated jugs and pottery with sculpted figures....

When some people hear the Catholic Church teaches “no one can be at the same time be a good Catholic and a true socialist” (Quadragesimo Anno 120), they ask in reply, “But can a good Catholic be a true capitalist?” The question is, rather, “How should the state view and intervene in the affairs of free-market economies?” To that question, Pope Pius XI offered two answers. First, the state should not treat capitalism as something intrinsically evil, since it “is not to be condemned in itself” (Quadragesimo Anno 101). Second, the state should make sure free markets adhere to “norms...

Promising images coming in from a sonar scan of the SS United States! She appears to have landed upright, more to come today as crews conduct further scans and divers confirm its orientation. *** What you’re seeing here can be best described as a cross cut section showing the multiple deck levels of the ship. They appear to all be horizontal, which is indicative of the ship being upright with the uppermost deck sitting around 55 feet of water.If so, this is exactly what everyone has worked so diligently to accomplish and what divers around the world hoped to be...

The 24-year-old Kiwi had been in danger of being replaced despite a strong season that currently has him ninth in points. Bulgarian Nikola Tsolov was touted as the next to climb onto the F1 ladder with the Red Bull junior squad. However, it appears a spell of five straight points finishes has made Lawson simply too good a prospect to drop. Racing Bulls issued a statement late on Thursday confirming both Lawson and rookie teammate Arvid Lindblad will be retained for 2027. “I’m very happy to be continuing with Visa Cash App Racing Bulls next year,” said Lawson. “We’ve had...

Former President Jimmy Carter’s family farm in Georgia has been sold to a conservation group for $8.5 million, with plans to preserve the land and eventually open it to the public.

brief: Ukraine is seeking long-term Western funding to maintain an 800,000-strong army after the war to deter future Russian aggression. The proposal contrasts sharply with Moscow’s demands to limit Ukraine’s military, including a 2022 proposal to cap its forces at 85,000 troops. Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi are also addressing NATO-style security guarantees and Europe’s future security architecture. Ukraine has asked its Western allies to finance an 800,000-strong army for at least 10 years after the war with Russia ends, seeking to deter another Russian invasion. The request was raised during discussions on security guarantees at trilateral talks between Ukraine,...

On Veterans Day, ABC's Sunny Hostin sparked controversy by arguing that enslaved Americans largely emancipated themselves rather than crediting Abraham Lincoln and the Union's victory in the Civil War. "The slaves basically emancipated themselves because they wanted freedom and they fought for their freedom," Hostin said. Enslaved Americans absolutely resisted slavery, escaped captivity and fought for their freedom. Their contributions deserve recognition. But the historical record also establishes:

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee looking into how the government dealt with the Jeffrey Epstein case tried so hard to tie Donald Trump to the sex pervert that they tampered with some of the “evidence” they leaked to the media. Oh, yes, they did, according to the head of the committee, James Comer. Indeed, their lies blew a 10 out of 10 on the Adam Schiff Prevarication Scale. And the guy behind it is the same one who will ascend to chair of the Oversight Committee come January, Robert Garcia. I’ll be writing more about that empty suit soon,...

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) smiled and said nothing when confronted over a House Judiciary Committee report alleging the city's district attorneys instructed prosecutors to downgrade charges against illegal aliens to shield them from deportation. Now a former top ICE official in New York is explaining why that question may have been so uncomfortable. Scott Mechkowski, a retired deputy field office director for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in New York City, says Bronx DA Darcel Clark's (D) playbook for child sex abuse cases was designed to keep deportable offenders here. It's quite sickening when you think about...

Drivers are starting to see some relief from high fuel prices. For the first time in months, the average price of a gallon of gasoline has dipped below $4, according to AAA. The price crossed below the $4 threshold on Tuesday, and is currently down to a national average of $3.94 for a gallon of regular. Prices have dipped about 40 cents over the past month, with much of that decline happening in the past two weeks. "Many will assume the election had something to do with it, but that's a myth," Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at...
