Teens waved terrorist flags and learned Maoist war tactics at a radical “Anti-Imperialist Summer Camp” hidden in the Pacific Northwest, The Post has learned. The late August camp, run by the terror-linked Anti-Imperialist Front USA (AIF-USA), was attended by teenagers from their offshoot, Revolutionary Youth, along with community college students and young workers, in the Pacific Northwest, according to materials provided to The Post by education watchdog group the North American Values Institute (NAVI). Pictures from the trip showed nearly 20 hoodie- and bandana-clad campers sitting around a fire alongside flags from several terrorist groups, one of which read “Victory...

A police officer (Trenton Garner) in (Cedartown) Georgia shot and killed HeeHaw, the one-year-old mini donkey, who lived at a children's petting zoo in Cedartown, Georgia. A federal civil rights lawsuit has already been filed. I already interviewed HeeHaw's lawyers, Solomon Radner and Chris McCormick a few weeks ago. Now, the bodycam has finally been released, and it's bad...

A bar ethics complaint has been filed against New York Attorney General Letitia James for allegedly making prejudicial statements about the “Cornell 7” in the days before being appointed special prosecutor to look into criminal charges for the Ivy’s Chi Phi frat members, The Post has learned. Two days before she was appointed special prosecutor to reopen an investigation into a 2024 alleged gang rape at Cornell University’s Chi Phi house, James posted on social media: “What this young woman has been forced to endure is horrific and unacceptable.” “To her, and to all survivors: you’re not alone. We stand...

Demographic Crisis and the Collapse of the Labour Market Ukraine is experiencing one of the deepest demographic and labour crises in its recent history. The combination of prolonged military conflict, mass emigration, and waves of mobilisation has created a critical shortage of workers across the country. Ukrainian businesses are increasingly unable to fill vacancies, forcing employers to look abroad for labour. According to Vasyl Voskoboynyk, head of Ukraine’s Migration Policy Department, around 30% of jobs across the country remain unfilled. Since February 2022, millions of Ukrainians have left the country, creating a major demographic gap and reducing the availability of...

Sweden and Denmark are pouring money into defense, tightening ties with each other and Europe—and moving beyond the U.S. It’s paying off. COPENHAGEN and STOCKHOLM—Sweden’s central bank has been worrying about what cashless consumers would do if an emergency such as a Russian cyberattack took down the electrical or communications grid. And so as of July, Swedish consumers can buy essential goods using their Mastercard and Visa cards without a network connection. The central bank (the Riksbank) wants to go further by enabling offline purchases with Swish, a local mobile payments system that bypasses the Visa and Mastercard networks altogether....

Explanation: Tidally locked in synchronous rotation, the Moon always presents its familiar nearside to denizens of planet Earth. From lunar orbit, the Moon's farside can become familiar, though. In fact this sharp picture, a mosaic from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's wide angle camera, is centered on the lunar farside. Part of a global mosaic of over 15,000 images acquired between November 2009 and February 2011, the highest resolution version shows features at a scale of 100 meters per pixel. Surprisingly, the rough and battered surface of the farside looks very different from the nearside covered with smooth dark lunar maria....

The tiger seen mauling a man who had gotten inside the enclosure at Yorkshire Wildlife Park has survived, say police. Shocking footage has emerged of a man inside the enclosure at the Doncaster attraction and the tiger, visibly disturbed by his presence, attacking the man who is seen shouting at the animal to stay back. The popular wildlife park will remain closed throughout today and the rest of tomorrow. Visitors reported hearing gunshots as they were ordered to leave the park shortly after 1.35pm. The speculation prompted fears from the public that the animal had been shot dead to protect...

A small team of 2-4 "Vibecoders" from a company called Aircraft, using Anthropics Claude AI Opus 5.5 model, fed the binary machine code for Adobe's Creative Suite of software products into Opus 5.5 and have produced a workable source code and the entire suite of products which they have released as open source. Acknowledging that plenty of bugs exist in the initial release, the company is saying within a month they should have all the bugs resolved. The implications of this are HUGE, if 2-4 people using AI can feed the binary machine code of any proprietary into a current...

A weapon discovered in 2023 on Mount Geumseong in southwestern South Korea has been identified by researchers from the Naju National Research Institute of Cultural Heritage as a Hwangja Hwatong, a handheld gunpowder weapon that fired arrows or pellets, ZME Science reports. The 600-year-old bronze weapon measures about nine inches long and weighs about two pounds. Engravings on the handle record the weapon’s name, weight, manufacturing supervisor, craftsman, and an incomplete date. When researchers compared the inscription with historic records of firearm production, they determined that this weapon was made in either 1377 or 1437. “It comes from a crucial...

Statement on Trump Suspending Microsoft from the PERM Program: This is a crucial issue for me as the top Democrat on the Immigration Subcommittee, the only member of Congress to have actually had an H-1B visa, and the Representative for tens of thousands of Microsoft workers. The administration has been consistently working to take away legal pathways for immigrants to contribute their talents to our country, and this is yet another of those attacks. The PERM program is the first step toward an employment-based green card for countless workers who want to contribute to this country, and it lays out...

On October 11, 2026, the DNS root is scheduled to change its key-signing key (KSK) for only the second time ever. This key anchors DNSSEC’s chain of trust, which lets DNS resolvers authenticate answers using cryptographic signatures. The change is called a KSK rollover. Validating resolvers need to trust the new key before the switch, as otherwise healthy websites could become unreachable. ... Most website operators do not need to make any changes for this rollover. If you run a DNSSEC-validating resolver, check that it trusts the new root key, KSK-2024, and follow your software vendor’s instructions to update its...

When the Term “Liberalism” ChangedA great transformation of the meaning of liberalism in this country manifested itself with the election of Franklin Roosevelt to the Presidency in 1932. Instead of emphasizing individual freedom and (concomitant) limited Constitutional government, the term now referred instead to a doctrine of ever-expanding government control over the economy, including higher taxes and more regulations. (This transformation of the term’s meaning was discussed by the legal historian Ronald Rotunda in a 1968 essay titled "The Liberal Label: Roosevelt's Capture of a Symbol.”) During the 1932 campaign, incumbent Republican President Herbert Hoover – hardly an advocate of...

President Trump said Friday he had granted approval for “tiny cars” to be built in the United States, a move that would expand the availability of similar smaller vehicles that are popular in Asia. “I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America. Manufacturers have long wanted to do this, just like they are so successfully built in other countries,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “They can be propelled by gasoline, electric, or hybrid. “These cars of the very near future are inexpensive, safe, fuel efficient and, quite simply, AMAZING!!! START BUILDING THEM NOW!”

From prosecuting comedians to backing the Digital Services Act, Paris has widened its censorship reach for decades. French President Emmanuel Macron went full Orwell recently. While long the darling of Western media, Macron has been one of the most anti-free-speech leaders in the world. On Sept. 29, he declared that "The so-called American ‘free speech’ today, which some people have promoted, is the opposite of free speech." Having Emmanuel Macron holding forth on free speech is akin to Joey Chestnut proselytizing on veganism. France has been in a headlong plunge into censorship and speech criminalization. These laws criminalize speech under...

According to a statement released by the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), a study conducted by scientists from UCSB and Stanford University has determined that the forager-farmer Tsimané people of lowland Bolivia and the hunter-gatherer Hadza people of Tanzania have highly diverse yet similar gut microbiomes, sharing more than 1,200 bacterial species. More than 60 percent of these bacterial species are rare or absent in the microbiomes of people living in industrialized populations. The researchers were surprised because the Hadza consume mammals, birds, fish, and foraged fruits and vegetables, while the Tsimané eat more fiber in the form of...

It all falls to you, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Trump supporters. The midterm elections on November 3 are essential for the survival of the country: The survival of the United States as a constitutional republic is on your shoulders. The 2026 midterm election is important, but it also sets the stage for 2028, and while every election is important, these elections are existential. This is because the United States is in a revolutionary time. The outcomes of the midterms will be critical. Americans have the chance to save America or send the country down the path of a Communist tyranny....

REVEALED: The “Offices of New Americans” Spreading a Pro-Immigration Agenda Across the Country Free lawyers to fight deportation. Services regardless of immigration status. A national network helping build the bureaucracy. Across America, state governments are establishing offices dedicated to expanding immigrant services, influencing public policy and, in some states, providing lawyers to fight deportation. They are called Offices of New Americans.

Three years after The Exorcist franchise spectacularly fell apart for Universal, the iconic horror property is set to return under writer-director Mike Flanagan with a new film starring Scarlett Johansson. Below is the first teaser trailer for The Exorcist: Martyrs, which is described as “a radical new vision of the most terrifying title in the history of cinematic horror.” In the film, Johansson stars as NYPD homicide detective Julie Miller, who investigates a murderer called Father Sunday (John Leguizamo), a priest (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and a new slew of killings that threaten Miller’s 12-year-old son (Jacobi Jupe). Flanagan is the prolific...

Americans are interesting people, far more intelligent than politicians and the media are willing to credit. They make reality-based decisions; most aren’t rich enough to do otherwise, relying on wealth to insulate them from stupid, though politically popular, policies. This is particularly true where their gun-buying in response to the trends of the last half century is concerned: For most of the 20th century, the American gun owner’s household was defined by the long gun. The rifle over the fireplace, the shotgun in the closet, the family hunting tradition. That picture has flipped. Today the handgun sits at the center...
