Rewards for Justice is offering a reward of up to $20 million and possible relocation for information about Iran’s nuclear program, including its facilities, equipment, and associated personnel, such as those in the scientific community, or the movement of any of the above. In 2025, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported that Iran is enriching uranium to 60 percent purity, a level that is a short technical step from the 90 percent required for a nuclear weapon. Iran is the only non-nuclear-weapon state to produce uranium at such a high enrichment level. Experts estimate this quantity, if enriched further,...

Twenty years after University of Miami football star Bryan Pata was fatally shot, his loved ones hoped 2026 would bring long-awaited justice and a turning point for their sorrow and frustration. But instead of a verdict in the murder trial of Pata's ex-teammate Rashaun Jones, the Pata family got a mistrial in March, followed by eight months of legal bickering over jailhouse snitches, an investigation into the lead detective, allegations of bribery against defense lawyers and efforts to disqualify the judge amid claims of bias. Pata's relatives and friends have long blamed 15 years of police missteps and disregard between...

Given the projectile vomiting of blue onto the electoral map, I thought it might be a good time to take in some refresher material on what we're going to be up against. Given the sadness of the occasion, I prefer movies over actual reference material to help keep things at least entertaining. Obviously, I've already seen these so if you have your own recommendations, please add. Here are my top recommendations for weekend viewing:

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~ [The Glenn Beck Program, around October 14, 2026]Glenn Beck: What’s going to come out of this, John? What is your feeling on this one?John Solomon: So, I’ve been on the same roller coaster you have, Glenn. You know, you do lots of this great reporting. You try to help people. I’ve been in the White House declassifying documents, and you see this extraordinary body of evidence—and then you see the people implicated in that body of evidence walking free, thumbing their nose, going on television, making money, writing false letters that mislead Americans in elections—and you’re like, “Is...

We asked AI to simulate what Texas will be like now that it has become a blue state.

You are in the emergency room. You have been told you are being admitted. And then, you wait. And wait. Four, 12, maybe even 24 hours, still stuck in the E.R., waiting for a bed to open up. This new normal in American hospitals is about to intensify. The practice of keeping patients in the E.R., called “boarding,” for hours or even days has been increasing over the past decade. One in four patients who were admitted through the E.R. spent at least four hours waiting in the E.R. before getting a bed in September 2024, compared with one in...

Explanation: It is time to say goodbye to NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory. After nearly 22 years of service, the satellite re-entered Earth's atmosphere on November 4 at 7:39 EST over the North Sumatra region of Indonesia. The featured image is a mosaic created in 2018 using some of the first million images captured by the satellite's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope. Swift had a combination of instruments, including an X-ray telescope and a gamma-ray telescope, that worked together to enable humanity to study, in unprecedented detail, the fastest and most energetic explosions in the universe. The most recent solar maximum accelerated the...

Elon Musk's angular truck appears to be headed for the scrapyard of history, and Jeremy White of Wired is not mourning. He slams the Cybertruck as an overhyped experiment that never lived up to its billing: produced for less than four years, plagued by recalls and design flaws, and now being phased out at Tesla's Texas factory to make room for the company's autonomous Cybercab. Despite Musk's boasts of "off the charts" demand and more than a million reservations, US sales remained modest, with under 50,000 delivered by March of last year and fewer than 12,000 sold in the first...

Demographics, age, and social views: Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers, Silent Generation. The intersection of demographics, age, and social views explores how a person’s place in society—particularly their generational cohort—shapes their perspective on cultural, political, and systemic issues.

Yesterday, I told our student leaders in 1,700 chapters that Tuesday night hurt, and that our anger can’t become a retreat. Today, I want to tell Republicans in Congress what that means for them. Republicans control the House and the Senate until noon on January 3rd. Government funding runs out on December 11th, so Congress is coming back to town whether it wants to or not. I know a number of leaders are on Capitol Hill this week drawing up the GOP’s to-do list before the gavels change hands. So let me save them some time. The Pro-Life Generation has...

President Donald Trump is expected to devote more attention to his presidential library during his final two years in office. With Democrats preparing to take control of Congress in January after their sweeping midterm victories, Trump is expected to focus increasingly on projects he can pursue without congressional approval, CBS News reported Thursday, citing current and former administration advisers. "He undoubtedly recognizes that the library development season opens now, and he will go for it," a senior administration official told CBS News. Another official said Trump will focus on "all things he can control, which means: Building." The president has...

An Instagram post celebrating abortion has exposed the fact that many Americans believe women should avoid having multiple abortions and/or using it as a form of birth control. It also showed the damage that the idea of 'subjective truth' has done to younger generations, leading them to believe that when human life begins is a matter of individual opinion rather than scientific fact. Key Takeaways: * In a recent social media post, a woman expressed support for women who have multiple abortions (which directly and intentionally end the lives of preborn human beings), even saying that there is no such...

Miller will take over as chief of staff on Monday.

Colossal Biosciences – a futuristic startup working to bring back extinct species including the woolly mammoth – is suing one of its former scientists for allegedly stealing trade secrets and sharing the data with competing labs. In a bombshell lawsuit filed Friday morning in Texas federal court in Austin, Colossal accused James Kehler, formerly its vice president of animal sciences and later of BioSynergy, of “dishonesty, greed, and the betrayal of the confidential science at the heart of Colossal’s mission.” The Dallas-based firm – which has so far succeeded in creating “woolly mice” that bear woolly mammoth traits and gray...
