Ukrainian forces destroyed 26 Russian helicopters in a single day using an unknown long-range weapon supplied by Kyiv's allies, Volodymyr Zelensky has claimed. During a press conference with journalists in Latvia on Thursday, the Ukrainian president remained light on details when discussing the use of the mystery weapon, not disclosing which country had provided the system, how long it had been in operation or when it had been used against the helicopters. "Partners have provided us with some long-range weapons," he said, according to a translation by Ukrainian news outlet RBC. "I won't say what, but our partners will understand....

WASHINGTON, Iowa — The chapel doors were firmly closed, but the shouts could be heard on the empty streets outside Marion Avenue Baptist Church here on a recent Sunday evening. “Amen!” someone cried out. “Tell it!” another yelled. Inside, practically every pew was filled. A few hundred people were there — many of them visitors from nearby towns in this heavily rural part of the state. They sat in rapt attention as a man in a dark suit dramatically paced back and forth in front of the pulpit, speaking with the passionate air of someone determined to save every last...

Who’s Really To Blame For America’s Catastrophic Financial Meltdown And Devastating National Recession? Contrary to what the “Occupy Movement” might tell you, it’s not greedy Wall Street executives. No, as one of America’s top financial professionals reveals in this shocking new book, the real culprit is economic warfare, with our foreign enemies exploiting our lurking financial weaknesses. In Secret Weapon, Kevin D. Freeman unveils how all the evidence – including motive, means, and opportunity – points to America’s foreign enemies as deliberately pushing our economy over the brink.

Israel’s New and Improved Ancient War Cry By Norma Zager “And the Walls Came a Tumbling Down…” from the story of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. In Ari’s last Postcard he discussed the new war facing Israel, coming battles that will require new methods, new strategies and new weapons for Israel’s survival. This is all true were it not for one small caveat: Israel must return to its ancient battle strategy to defeat its enemies, or it will be lost forever. I suppose at first glance this premise sounds a bit insane. Nuclear weapons will be aimed at Israeli...

DES MOINES, Iowa—Prominent Republicans here pretty much splinter into two camps on the question of whether Sarah Palin will jump into the 2012 presidential race. One side points to a mysterious California lawyer named Peter Singleton as proof the former Alaska governor will definitely run. The other side points to Mr. Singleton as proof she won't. "When it comes to Palin in Iowa, it's pretty much Peter Singleton," said Iowa Tea Party Director Ryan Rhodes. "The guy is everywhere." Crisscrossing the state in a series of rented cars, the 56-year-old Mr. Singleton has spent the better part of five months...

Gov. Jerry Brown has brought in the big gun -- his dog, Sutter Brown -- to do some ankle-high lobbying on the issue of a special election that would allow CA voters to weigh in on budget issues. We kid you not: here's the latest You Tube moment in the California budget wars, this one starring the cheeky California Corgi, who is now part of a tongue-in-cheek drive called "Doggies for Democracy." Looks like Sutter -- after doing his first "excloo" with us here at SFGate.com -- is now a media sensation who can be found pimping, uh, pushing his...

LONDON - The humble prune is set to be recognized as one of the secret weapons of World War II. A London auction house, Spink, is selling two grizzled prunes that it says were destined to be stuffed with maps or other documents and smuggled to prisoners of war. The prunes were part of the memorabilia collection of a British spy. "They are very dry and hard and it's amazing that they have survived," Spink spokeswoman Emily Johnston said Tuesday. The prunes are part of a collection of World War II memorabilia collected by a British woman, the late Doreen...

June 8, 2004 - In what has been called the "worst disaster in U.S. naval history," the U.S.S. Indianapolis was sunk by a Japanese submarine on July 30, 1945, sinking in 12 minutes, and of the 1,196 men on board, only 316 survived.
