Early life and education

Jason Atta Kwei Arday was born in Clapham, London, on 9 May 1985 to Ghanaian parents.[1][2][3] He was the third of four brothers and grew up in Clapham.[4] His mother was a mental health nurse and his father a chef.[4]

Arday attended Heathbrook Primary School in Nine Elms, London.[5] At secondary school, Arday earned GCSEs in physical education and textiles before studying for a BTEC course in sport and development at Merton College in Morden, South London.[6][7] According to his memoir, Arday spent many afternoons missing secondary school and playing snooker, becoming so good that he regularly won money playing in tournaments across London. As a student, he wrote that, he made money by entering pro–am nine-ball pool tournaments and frequently reaching the latter stages, winning prize money.[2]

Some statements Arday made about his life were called into question by different media.[8] Arday said that at age three, he was diagnosed with autism, global developmental delay, deafness, and dyscalculia, and was non-verbal until the age of 11. He said he could not read or write until he was 18; and that he was diagnosed with dyslexia in his first year of university.[9][10][11][12][13][2]

this guys college mentor taught him how to read and write????

Meeting college tutor Sandro Sandri, who eventually became his mentor, redirected Jason’s life path. He learned to read and write, then got a degree in Physical Education and became a PE teacher. When he was 22, he started working toward his first master’s degree, penning academic papers and studying at night after working as a teacher all day.

He got a degree in Phys Ed.

Then got 2 masters in DEI Wakanda.

applied to an elite school that had 5 black professors and he Wakanda'd his way to be the 6th at 37 years old....

Donald J. Trump

These are the TREASONISTS that brought the suit against the Military Complex. They revealed Top Military Secrets!

“The National Trust for Historic Preservation” is a beautiful name, but even their name is fake because when they add the words “in the United States” to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it makes it sound like a Governmental Agency, which it is not. In fact, the United States refused to continue funding it in 2005 because they strongly disagreed with their mission and objectives. They are very bad for our Country. They stop many projects that are worthy, and hurt many others. In this case, they are trying to stop one that is vital to our National Security, and the Safety of all Presidents of the United States, both current and future, their families, staff, and Cabinet members. They were asked by the United States Military not to bring this suit because of the Top Secret nature of the important facility being built. They were shown detailed plans and specifications of this knitted, unified, and cohesive structure by Top Officers and Leaders in both the Military and Secret Service. But this did not deter them because they suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly referred to as TDS, as noted by Democrat Senator John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania. The lower section does not work without the upper section and, likewise, the upper section does not work without the lower. It is all one highly integrated unit.

The then President of the National Trust, who brought the case, Carol Quillen, had no background in Historic Preservation, and has been replaced, unanimously, effective immediately. This is similar to her departure from Davidson College, where she was, likewise, dismissed, but the people of our Country are forced to live on with her bad decision, especially that of revealing to everyone, including our enemies throughout the World, the Top Secret Military features of the Building that are already built, and/or under construction, such as the DronePort, which occupies the entire roof.

There is absolutely no argument that a woman walking her dog in the vicinity of the White House has STANDING to stop such a desperately needed National Security structure for the people of the United States of America, as it will provide Presidents, current and future, a secure space to do their jobs, especially when she never saw the Building, because it had not risen, and she had no rendering, or pictures of the Building because they, also, were in the formative stages of production. This woman is not a “walker,” she is an activist, or serial plaintiff, who is involved in much other frivolous litigation throughout the City. In fact, whenever the National Trust files a lawsuit, she seems to be involved. So, she walked at the site of the White House, where there was no Building, and it bothered her, but she also walks in front of all of those other places, where she must also be bothered, and hence, additional court cases? She has no Clearances, or expertise whatsoever, in National Security, Defense, or required protections for the President. She has absolutely no standing to be involved in this case and, in fact, her name is not even mentioned as a plaintiff in the case! It is this kind of gross and flagrant abuse of our Courts that is exactly why Americans are losing faith in our System of Justice. It is so bad for our Country! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Army Temporarily Halts All Apache Training Flights After Fatal Crash in Texas

Army leaders have ordered a nationwide pause as investigators seek the root cause of the Apache maintenance test flight crash near Fort Hood.

The U.S. Army said on Aug. 14 that it had temporarily halted all Apache helicopter training flights following a recent crash in Texas that killed two soldiers.

“Army leaders directed a temporary stand-down of AH64 Apache training flight operations. The stand-down will remain in effect until we have a better understanding of the root cause of the accident,” the Army said in a statement.

Two members of the U.S. military were killed on Aug. 12 after their AH-64E Apache attack helicopter crashed near Fort Hood, Texas. The Army identified them as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre T. Huey and Warrant Officer Seth L. Olmstead.

The U.S. Army Fort Hood Media Center said in a statement on Aug. 14 that the Apache helicopter experienced “a mishap” around 1:40 p.m. on Aug. 12 during a maintenance test flight in Salado, Texas, before crashing near Fort Hood.

The Army extended its condolences to the families and friends of the two pilots, adding that an investigation to determine the cause of the crash remains ongoing.

“We mourn these aviators, and our deepest condolences remain with their families, friends, and unit during this extraordinarily difficult time,” it stated.

This is a developing story and will be updated with additional details.

JD Vance

@JDVance

For years now, some hospitals and healthcare providers have been subjecting children to horrific, experimental treatments in service of radical gender ideologies. Today, thanks to the Wolves in White Coats report released by @HHSGov, we know why: profit. It turns out that convincing vulnerable children to reject their gender can create patients for life, earning hospitals tens of thousands of dollars in additional revenue per child.

The report contains deeply disturbing allegations, and I encourage every American and every parent, to read it. More than just pushing these procedures on kids, hospitals and providers may have been defrauding Medicaid and private insurers by using misleading or fraudulent billing codes to get insurance to cover the costs.

The referral to @AGToddBlanche takes accountability a step further after the 10M settlement with TCH.

I recently sat down with Savidge who revealed - for the first time - that she was the government's principal witness in the TX case.

Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Social Security Act

Today, our Nation commemorates 91 years since President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the landmark Social Security Act into law. For more than nine decades, this program has stood as a fundamental promise at the heart of American life, guaranteeing that the men and women who built our country, raised our families, and powered the greatest economy on Earth can live out their later years with the security and prosperity they earned.

As President, I will always defend Social Security, protect America’s seniors, and invest in the dedicated workers who form the backbone of our Republic. To that end, I proudly signed the Working Families Tax Cuts Act into law, which eliminated federal taxes on Social Security benefits for millions of seniors—the largest tax break in history for older Americans—empowering them to keep more of what they have earned through a lifetime of work. Within a single year, more than 35 million senior citizens have claimed an average deduction of over $7,500, providing real savings for households all across America during tax season. This relief will continue to strengthen the financial security of our country’s retirees, and giving them the dignity, stability, and peace of mind they deserve after years of dedication in the workforce.

Preserving Social Security for future generations also requires eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in every corner of the program. These benefits belong to the American citizens who earned them through decades of honest labor, and my Administration will never allow criminal illegal aliens and fraudsters to raid a system they never paid into. To end this theft, I signed a Presidential Memorandum stopping illegal aliens and other ineligible individuals from obtaining Social Security Act benefits—and we are deporting illegal aliens who steal from our country. Through these actions, we are restoring integrity to Social Security and safeguarding every last dollar for the hardworking Americans who fund it.

From sweeping tax relief to lower costs for prescription drugs, health care, and everyday essentials, my Administration is working tirelessly to make life more affordable for all Americans. We will ensure that Social Security remains unshakable and that every American senior can enjoy the safe, secure retirement they worked a lifetime to achieve.

US accuses allies of China tariff ‘scam’

The White House claims more than 40 countries have served as hubs for rerouting Chinese goods

Published 14 Aug, 2026 08:04

The White House has accused more than 40 nations, including some of its closest partners, of helpingChinese goods evade US tariffs by exploiting differences in levies imposed on third countries.

A new 25-page report titled ‘The Great Transshipment Scam’, released by the White House on Thursday, names Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, India, Israel, Taiwan, and the EU among those allegedly involved in the practice.

The document claims the “scam” involves sending Chinese-made goods through another country, where they are lightly processed, repackaged, or relabeled before being shipped to the US under a new declared origin.

Washington says the practicetook off after President Donald Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese products in 2018. Since returning to office, Trump has expanded levies to much of the world,creating wide differences in tariff rates between trading partners. Last month, he also imposed new tariffs on imports from 60 countries over alleged failures to combat forced labor, drawing protests from several major US partners. The White House acknowledged that such gaps may themselves have increase incentives for rerouting.

The report estimates that the practice costs the US Treasury tens of billions of dollars annually. Under one central model-based scenario, it puts lost federal revenue at $19 billion to $26 billion and claims around 450,000 American jobs could be displaced.

Washington said it now plans to step up enforcement using an AI-based customs system dubbed ‘Detective Border’, designed to flag suspicious shipping routes, origin claims, and ownership links. The report warns that violators could face additional tariffs, sanctions, or exclusion from the US market.

China has repeatedly condemned Trump’s tariff regime, accusing Washington of protectionism and economic coercion and arguing that its trade and technology restrictions disrupt global commerce.

Earlier this month, the Chinese Commerce Ministry announced tighter export controls on drones and related technologies and retaliatory measures against several American entities, warning of further countermeasures if Washington introduces new restrictions.

WNBA task force discusses transgender athletes amid furor

A WNBA task force of team presidents and general managers met Wednesday and discussed transgender athletes but did not arrive at any eligibility rules, according to a statement sent to ESPN by a league spokesperson.

In recent weeks, demonstrators have staged rallies at Indiana Fever games for and against transgender inclusion after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said in an ESPN article that she supports barring transgender girls and women from girls' and women's sports.

The league's statement Wednesday, in full, reads:

"Today's meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online. We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others."

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert previously sent a memo to teams saying a task force of WNBA team presidents and general managers would discuss the issue at the meeting, which was already scheduled.

The WNBA has no publicly available policy governing eligibility of transgender or intersex athletes. The 2026 collective bargaining agreement signed in March states that "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA." There is no further definition of a woman. On Friday, two former NBA players, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White, declared themselves eligible for the WNBA draft, saying they identify as women.

No known transgender woman has ever played in the WNBA. Two known nonbinary athletes have played in the league: Layshia Clarendon and AD Durr. Both players' birth sex is female. The WNBA has not responded to requests to clarify its policy and how it applies to transgender women, transgender men and nonbinary players.

Before Indiana's win over the New York Liberty on Tuesday, Fever coach Stephanie White gave an impassioned speech about the commentary and scrutiny directed at her team and the WNBA.

"The hate, the fearmongering, the divisiveness, the stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win," she said.

Presidential Message on the Anniversary of Winning World War II

Today, our Nation celebrates the 81st anniversary of Imperial Japan’s unconditional surrender—the moment American might brought the Second World War to its end in complete and total victory. On this monumental occasion, we pay tribute to the grit and sacrifice of the warriors who defended our homeland and carried the hopes of the free world upon their shoulders.

The road to our victory began in fire at Pearl Harbor, where Imperial Japan’s infamous attack summoned a peaceful Nation to arms. Meeting that assault head-on, the warfighters of the Greatest Generation crossed thousands of miles of open sea, turned the tide of the conflict at Midway, broke the enemy fleet at Leyte Gulf, and seized the fortress islands of Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Each of those battles was waged against a fierce and unyielding enemy that tested the strength of American resolve like never before. In the end, the unbreakable will of America’s Armed Forces drove an empire of conquest to its knees, freed millions from its brutal occupation, and left the American Flag flying over a Pacific restored to freedom.

For 4 long years, the American People bore hardship and loss on a scale this country has never known, and they never once wavered. More than 16 million Americans answered the call to serve, and more than 400,000 of them never came home, laying down their lives on distant shores to keep our Nation free. Through their sacrifice, uncommon courage, and selfless devotion to freedom, America emerged from the deadliest war in history stronger, safer, and immortalized as a symbol of freedom, hope, and liberty in every corner of the world. Eighty-one years later, the peace those warriorswon endures, and a free and democratic Japan stands beside the United States of America as one of our closest allies—our two countries joined by common purpose in the defense of a free and open Indo-Pacific and the pursuit of prosperity for both our peoples.

When Imperial Japan laid down its arms on this day in 1945, America stood victorious over the forces of tyranny, proving to every generation that freedom survives only when brave citizens stand ready to defend it. We owe our deepest gratitude to the Americans who gave their lives in that struggle, the soldiers who charged across open sand into enemy fire, the Marines who stormed beaches, the sailors who stood their posts on burning decks, and the airmen who took flight into the skies above the Pacific. To every one of them, our Nation makes this promise: Their valor will forever live on in the American story, the liberty they won will grow stronger in the hands of all who follow,and the Republic they saved will stand as the mightiest force for good the world has ever known. Together, we salute the Greatest Generation, and we carry their indominable spirit into our own time—proud, vigilant, and free. May God bless the heroes of the Second World War, and may their triumph light the way for our Nation in the centuries to come.

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates has sparked widespread alarm after warning that looming “water shortages” will soon trigger “the biggest mass mortality event the world has ever seen.”

In a disturbing viral video clip, Gates then warns of “billions of people dying” before appearing to point toward the United States Water Reserve as the answer.

The chilling remarks have sent social media into overdrive, with critics questioning why one of the world’s most influential billionaires is sounding the alarm about a resource every human being depends on to survive.

The short clip begins with Gates warning that water shortages could become the largest mass mortality event in history.

He then escalates the warning by referring to “billions of people dying.”

The clip goes on to suggest that investment in the United States Water Reserve could help address the crisis.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has made at least $174,000 annually for nearly eight years as a member of Congress, but like many of her “Squad” colleagues, she has yet to put a substantial dent in her student loan debt, according to House financial disclosures.

The Bronx and Queens Democrat has owed between $15,001 and $50,000 in federal student loan debt since her election to the House in 2018. That’s the same amount she owes now, according to her August disclosure, where lawmakers report ranges for debt and income.

The “Tax the Rich!” pol reported less than $81,000 in total assets.

Recently, Ocasio-Cortez has suggested that she’d been saving up for some time instead to freeze her eggs, a process that can cost between $10,000 and $20,000 per cycle.

Ocasio-Cortez amassed the loans while attending Boston University as an international relations and economics major between August 2007 and May 2011 — and went on to tend bar in Manhattan before her successful run for Congress.

The “Squad” Democrat has consistently backed student debt cancellation. During former President Joe Biden’s term, she even pushed the 46th commander-in-chief to cancel as much as $50,000 in debt per student borrower. But she’s not the only US lawmaker who’s still holding student loans.

Alaska Democratic Senate hopeful Mary Peltola rejected support this week from former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the state by double-digits in her failed 2024 presidential campaign.

“Alaska is a must-win Senate seat for Democrats to retake control of the Senate,” Harris wrote in a fundraising email, urging the public to “help Mary Peltola get the support she needs” by splitting a donation between Peltola’s campaign and the ex-veep’s Fight for the People PAC.

Harris continued, “So if there’s anyone who can flip Alaska and secure the Senate majority for Democrats – it’s Mary. But she cannot do it alone.”

“When we all stand behind Mary, we can give her the boost she needs to overcome their spending and organize across Alaska,” the former vice president added.

Peltola, a former congresswoman who flipped Alaska’s at-large congressional seat blue in 2022, was not interested in Harris’ support.

“Mary isn’t seeking endorsements from anyone from the Lower 48 — her focus is and always will be Alaska,” a campaign spokeswoman told the New York Times.

The outlet said the Peltola campaign did not approve the fundraising email.

Harris lost Alaska to Trump in the 2024 presidential election by a whopping 14 percentage points.

Notably, Peltola did not endorse Harris in the 2024 race.

A Georgia financial advising CEO was sentenced Friday to 20 years behind bars for masterminding a $380 million Ponzi scheme to fund his lavish lifestyle of yachts, private jets and luxury shopping.

Todd Burkhalter, the founder of Atlanta-area Drive Planning LLC, orchestrated one of Georgia’s largest schemes and stole millions from over 2,000 investors in the years-long con.

Burkhalter, 59, was ordered to serve two decades in federal prison by US District Court Judge Tiffany R. Johnson, while two of his executives were sentenced to less than five years for their roles this week.

Burkhalter’s attorneys had asked for a 14-year sentence while federal prosecutors recommended 17 and a half years as part of a plea deal back in January.

The Florida executive had pleaded to wire fraud charges following a years-long investigation into the shady ventures.

Between September 2020 and June 2024, Drive Planning marketed investment opportunities to potential investors to secure nearly $400 million in funds, even immediately using the money to pay off early investors.

Burkhalter then used the pool of cash for high-end personal spending, including buying a $2 million yacht, a $2.1 million condo in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, dropped $800,000 on vehicles, including a motorcoach and two Land Rovers.

He also spent millions on luxury travel, chartering private jets, $800,000 to pay his ex-wife’s attorney and another $320,000 on clothing, jewelry, and beauty treatments.

Democratic Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Thursday President Donald Trump has helped her deliver for the state, pointing to a specific fighter jet mission she tried to secure during the Biden administration but couldn’t.

Whitmer spoke to Newsom on his podcast, “This is Gavin Newsom,” and said she needed to figure out how to conduct herself after the 2024 presidential election because her state had voted for Trump again.

Newsom noted Whitmer had visited the White House, and the pair both agreed a working relationship with the president was “part of the job.”

“I’ve gotten some really good stuff done. Honestly,” she told Newsom. “I got a fighter mission at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, and I tried to get that done under the Biden administration, couldn’t get over the finish line, but I got it done with him. So, that’s a huge deal to Michigan.”

Whitmer appeared to be referring to Mission Next, which will replace the retiring A-10 Warthog aircraft based at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in Michigan with 21 brand-new F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

The mission is part of a modernization plan for the National Guard Base, according to the National Guard’s website, which includes construction and infrastructure upgrades that will create jobs and new training opportunities.

Democrat attorneys general have sued to block the Trump administration from accessing records on commercial driver’s licenses.

The Trump Department of Transportation has stepped up enforcement of commercial driver’s licensing rules, seeking more information from states to find unqualified truck drivers, including illegal immigrants. It has threatened to withhold about $10 million in funding if states don’t hand over the records.

ADVERTISEMENT

However, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul led a group of 21 Democrat-leaning states and the District of Columbia in filing two lawsuits in the Eastern District of Virginia, just over a year after an illegal immigrant truck driver caused a Florida Turnpike collision that killed three people.

“Yet again, the Trump administration has threatened to hold federal funding hostage in order to obtain personally identifiable information of millions of Americans for improper purposes,” Raoul said.

“This database was created 40 years ago so states could share information with each other to stop unsafe drivers from operating commercial vehicles, and the federal government’s decision to ransack that database puts the whole system in jeopardy,” he added. “I will continue to push back on the unnecessary and unlawful attempts of the Trump administration to misuse Americans’ most personal information.”

The state’s commercial licensing data is stored centrally with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators, an organization that represents state DMV officials. The federal agencies gave the association a deadline of Aug. 17 to share the information; when the association said it could not meet the deadline, the Department of Homeland Security subpoenaed the records.

Joining Illinois in the lawsuit are Democrat attorneys general from Virginia, California, the District of Columbia, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. In Pennsylvania, which has a Republican attorney general, the governor’s office joined the lawsuit.

White House Notes Canada Biggest Enabler of Transshipped Chinese Products to U.S. Market

August 14, 2026 | sundance | 126 Comments

The White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing released an extensive report this week identifying the major nations who enable China to transship goods into the U.S market in an effort to avoid tariffs. [REPORT HERE]

Within the report several nations and regions are identified as being used by Chinese manufacturers to avoid U.S. customs and duty enforcement mechanisms. However, both Canada and Mexico are cited as primary enablers of the process.

The issue strikes at the heart of the problem identified long ago with the NAFTA agreement, and the problem only worsens when the USMCA provisions on country of origin are not enforced.

When you remove oil and lumber, the majority of Canada’s manufactured exports to the USA contain Chinese component parts and this has been the source of much friction in the current trade negotiations. The manufacturing supply chain within all free trade agreements only works when the source of component goods is accurately recorded.

Massive Explosion Shatters Italian Factory South of Rome That Supplies Munitions to Ukraine

A blast that reminds us that the war is not so far away.

Yesterday (13), a gigantic explosion shattered through a munitions factory near ​the town of Colleferro, southeast of Rome, with the blast heard for miles around.

The factory produces ammunition and weapons that are transferred to Ukraine through European partners.

Reuters Reported:

“The explosion occurred when firefighters and police were already at the ​site responding to a fire, local media ​reports said.”

So far, no injuries were reported.

The plant is operated ​by the Franco-German ⁠defense group KNDS via KNDS Ammo Italy, a subsidiary ​of the group.

“’It would have been a tragedy’ if the blast had not happened during the summer holiday when the plant was closed, Colleferro mayor Giulio Calamita ​told reporters. He said efforts were underway to put out ‌the ⁠last fires.

‘The circumstances surrounding the incident are currently being investigated and assessed by the teams on site’, KNDS said in a statement.”

The plant produces medium- and large-caliber ​ammunition for ​land and ⁠naval defense systems, as well as solid propellants for aerospace launch vehicles.

Euronews reported:

“Italian media reported that there were no casualties, with the AGI news agency saying employees sheltered in secure areas at the facility.

[…] Videos shared on social media showed a fire at the factory followed by a massive explosion.

‘The fright is great, but right now it is essential to keep calm and, above all, to avoid spreading untrue information, such as that relating to the 2007 accident which is once again circulating. We will update you as soon as possible with verified information’, [the mayor] wrote.”

Bright Perseids from Sweden

Known for its bright and fast meteors, the annual Perseid Meteor Shower comes to planet Earth's skies from a radiant in the heroic constellation Perseus. The popular northern summer celestial spectacle is created as grains of dust cast off along the orbit of periodic comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle vaporize in Earth's dense atmosphere, tracing brief, but beautiful streaks through the night. Taken near the shower's peak of activity on August 12, this composite image recorded two bright perseid meteors and one meteor's watery reflection from a location near the coastal village of Grisslehamn, Sweden. Almost as bright as Altair, brightest star on the scene, the meteors appear along with the faint, diffuse background of the Milky Way. This year, the shower's peak activity coincided with a New Moon, so perseid meteor flashes were undiminished by bright moonlight. And for many skywatchers, this night of bright perseid meteors followed their viewing of the silhouette of the New Moon in a much anticipated solar eclipse.

Asteroid 2026 PC6 passed Earth at 0.05 LD, marking closest flyby of 2026

Friday, August 14, 2026 15:42 UTC

Asteroid 2026 PC6 passed Earth at 0.053 lunar distances (0.00014 AU / about 20 400 km / 12 700 miles) from the center of our planet at 00:50 UTC on August 12, 2026, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (NASA/CNEOS).

At the nominal distance, the object passed about 14 000 km (8 700 miles) above Earth’s surface, placing it inside the orbit of geostationary satellites and making it the closest asteroid flyby of the year.

2026 PC6 is one of 101 known asteroids to pass within 1 LD of Earth in 2026, as of 10:29 UTC on August 14. Based on nominal LD distance, it is the closest known asteroid flyby within 1 LD recorded so far this year.

The Minor Planet Center (MPC) noted the initial reported observation by ATLAS-TDO at Teide Observatory in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, at 01:20 UTC on August 11 – about 23 hours and 30 minutes before closest approach.

2026 PC6 is an Aten-class near-Earth asteroid with an estimated diameter of 6.8 to 15 m (22 to 49 feet).

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Small-Body Database reports an orbit with a semimajor axis of 0.749 AU, perihelion of 0.426 AU, aphelion of 1.073 AU, eccentricity of 0.432, and inclination of 19.8 degrees.

State Department Revokes Over 175,000 Visas Of Foreign Nationals Accused Of Crimes

Via American Greatness,

President Donald Trump’s State Department has revoked more than 175,000 visas held by foreign nationals accused of crimes since the start of last year, officials said this week, markingone of the administration’s most sweeping efforts yet to remove dangerous individuals from the country.

State Department officials said themajority of revocations targeted foreign nationals accused of assault, drunk driving, theft, drug crimes, fraud, immigration violations and threats to national security.

A significant share of the revoked visas also involved allegations of child abuse, sexual assault, embezzlement and reckless driving.

Among the cases cited by officials, one foreign national lost his visa after being charged with rape and sexual battery of a victim who is mentally disabled. Another had a visa revoked following charges of felony kidnapping, human trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor.

Other cases included a foreign national arrested for disorderly conduct, resisting arrest with violence, drunk driving and domestic violence, as well as individuals charged with sodomy of a child, aggravated sexual battery, and possession of more than a dozen counts of child sexual abuse material.

One foreign national was arrested for driving with heroin in the vehicle and a blood alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.

A U.S. embassy in North Africa revoked more than 100 visas held by so-called birth tourist parents who officials said traveled to the United States primarily to give birth so their children would obtain American citizenship.

Officials also flagged financial crimes among the revocations, including aforeign national accused of orchestrating a Medicaid scheme that billed more than $5 million for fake servicesunder the guise of a legitimate healthcare business, and another who fabricated company revenue and forged letters to swindle investors and clients while using the false claims to fraudulently obtain a visa.

A foreign national who came to the United States to teach young students was arrested and had his visa revoked after being accused of sexually assaulting one of them.

Several foreign nationals lost their visas after publicly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk, including one who wrote that “when fascists die, democrats don’t complain” and another who said Kirk “died too late.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also moved against foreign nationals deemed threats to national security, revoking the visa of a Cuban national with ties to the communist regime and of Iranian nationals connected to the Iranian government.

Officials additionally revoked the visa of a Laotian child sex offender previously pardoned by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, as well as a Kuwaiti national accused of expressing a desire for violence against Trump and referring to Americans as the “enemy.”

NASA Announces MAX POWER: America’s Newest Aerospace Expo, Airshow

Aug 14, 2026

In honor of America’s historic 250th anniversary, NASA announced on Friday MAX POWER, a public exposition of American air and space innovation, Nov. 7 and Nov. 8, on and near the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The multi-day, family-friendly event will showcase the next-generation aircraft, spacecraft, autonomous vehicles, and technologies that will help define the future of transportation in air and space, bringing together the public, innovators, investors, pilots, astronauts, engineers, and companies helping open this new frontier.

“This November, we are opening Kennedy Space Center’s historic Shuttle Landing Facility to the public for America’s newest and most exciting aerospace technology expo and airshow, and we are calling it MAX POWER,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

“For 250 years, America has advanced by building what did not exist, flying higher, moving faster, and reaching toward the near-impossible.

There is no better place to celebrate that spirit than at NASA Kennedy, America’s gateway to the stars and the place where so many of our nation’s greatest achievements began.”

By bringing together the legacy of NASA with the companies and technologies shaping what comes next, MAX POWER aims to ignite the spirit of exploration and inspire the next generation of explorers, builders, and dreamers.

In addition to the agency, Air Dot Show, Delaware North, Space Florida, Purpose Entertainment, and UP.Summit are external collaborators.

Some activities will take place at NASA Kennedy, including the Apollo Saturn V facility, and the Launch and Landing Facility currently leased by Space Florida.

Others will take place at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex adjacent to the center leading up to, and during, the festival.

New York Mag fires Mamdani-loving writer Ross Barkan for 67 instances of ripping off other authors

Story by Alexandra Steigrad • 18h

New York Magazine has fired lefty political writer Ross Barkan, one of the biggest boosters of Mayor Zohran Mamdaniin NYC journalism, for ripping off other authors’ work a shocking 67 times.

Prior to becoming mayor,Mamdani served as campaign manager for Barkan’s failed state senate campaign, a fact the writer frequently mentioned on his Substack and other platforms.

New York Magazine – which recently came under fire for an anti-Israel cover story – launched a review of Barkan’s work after a Washington Post reporter noticed striking similarities between the lead of one of his stories and the lead Barkan wrote about the same subject in May.

New York Magazine said in a statement toThe Post that it found 67 Barkan columns “that did not include proper attribution of language, information and/or sourcing.”

The publication said it was updating those pieces with proper attribution and is “committed to addressing any other instances that come to light.”

“Upon conclusion of the review, we have determined that we will no longer publish his column,” NY Mag added.

“We regret that his work did not live up to our editorial standards, and apologize to the writers whose work was not appropriately attributed.”

After the Washington Post writer first blew the whistle on Barkan, NPR unearthed additional plagiarism allegations, drawing an angry denial from Barkan.

The firing was a humiliating blow to the writer, who regularly heaped praise on Mamdani in pieces in high-brow lefty publications, calling the mayor’s 2025 election victory “seismic” in The Nation.

The ink-stained wretch voiced regret over the rip-offs — a cardinal sin in journalism —though he appeared to portray the firing as a mutual decision by him and New York Magazine.

“We’ve decided to end the column and I send all the best to New York Magazine,” Barkan said in a statement to The Post.

“In the course of nearly 250 pieces, there were times I should have been more careful with my citation,” he added. “I’m sorry about these errors and will work to do better, more careful work in the future.”

He also plugged his work for The Nation.

“I am, at a more considered pace, writing a new column for The Nation,” Barkan said.

The Post has asked The Nation if it will continue to employ him in light of the stunning revelations.

His writing career includes bylines in the New York Times, and both fiction and non-fiction books.

He previously said he has a forthcoming book on Mamdani, who was Barkan’s campaign manager in his 2018 run for a Queens seat in the New York State Senate.

On this day in space! Aug. 15, 1977: Mysterious 'Wow!' Signal boosts search for E.T.

August 15, 2026

On Aug. 15, 1977, astronomers using Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope detected the famous "Wow!" signal, which to this day is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that we are not alone in the universe.

Astronomer Jerry Ehman was using the telescope to scan a region in the constellation Sagittarius when it detected a weird, 72-second-long radio burst.

The signal was too strong to be explained by background noise, and researchers determined that it was very unlikely that this signal came from anything on Earth.

Despite their best efforts, astronomers have not been able to detect any other signals like it.

Why it mattered

For as long as humans have existed, we have looked up and wondered, "Are we alone?"

This question remains one of the biggest mysteries across not just science but for humanity as a whole.

The "Wow" signal remains an iconic and important finding in the search for life out in the cosmos.

Nearly 50 years since the "Wow!" signal, scientists have made incredible progress in the search for alien life.

We have landed rovers on Mars that have found possible signs of life on the Red Planet, for example, and discovered thousands of exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system.

The "Wow!" signal was detected nearly two decades before scientists first confirmed the existence of exoplanets.

Today, we have found more than 6,000 of them and are using cutting-edge technologies to explore further and see if any of these far-off planets might contain signs of life.

Construction Workers Dig Up Mysterious $10M Gold Stash While Working on Sewer System

Police in the city of Dendermonde, Belgium, said the workers discovered a “large quantity of gold” while doing ground works at the construction site

By Gina Kalsi Published on August 14, 2026 08:48AM

NEED TO KNOW

• Construction workers discovered gold thought to be worth over $10 million during groundworks in the city of Dendermonde, Belgium

• Officials have secured the treasure, which included gold bars and coins, and are investigating its origins and legal ownership

• Kobe, an 18-year-old student and construction worker, told Belgian media that they came across the hidden stash ahead of constructing a sewer system

Construction workers in Belgium are celebrating the discovery of gold worth an estimated $10 million during a renovation project.

Police in the city of Dendermonde, around 18 miles north of Brussels, said the workers dug up the “large quantity of gold” during groundworks, per a Facebook post and a report by Belgian outlet VRT.

Officials later came and collected the gold, which was then inventoried and “safely stored as quickly as possible in a high-security vault of the federal government services,” according to the translated statement.

Police Dendermonde posted a series of pictures that included 49 gold bars laid out on a table, a bucket of gold coins and officers appearing to log the findings on a computer.

The haul’s estimated worth is around €9 million, the equivalent of over $10.4 million, according to VRT.

Police warned treasure hunters wanting to enter the construction site that it was “fenced off” and had “several dangerous pits.”

“Moreover, we have already passed by and everything is definitely gone ... so certainly do not take irresponsible risks!” they added.

“Hoping that this treasure ends up in the right place and that this unexpected discovery can change the lives of many in a positive way!” the post added.

Kobe, an 18-year-old student and construction worker, told VRT that they came across the treasure while undertaking groundworks to build a sewer system.

“Our first reaction was actually disbelief, amazement. We certainly hadn’t expected to find gold,” he told the outlet.

Kobe said he initially thought they were just €1 coins but soon realized it was a bigger find after seeing a gold nugget.

“After 33 years in the construction industry, this is the first time I’ve experienced anything like this,” site manager Mario told VRT.

The East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the surprising discovery, per Belgian outlet De Standaard.

“At this moment, it is not known where that gold comes from, nor to whom it legally belongs,” Prosecutor Hanne Ollevier told the outlet.

The building where the treasure was found is owned by the Belgian charity CAW Oost-Vlaanderen, which offers support to people in difficulty.

U.S. Space Force set to launch classified mission Saturday from Vandenberg

August 14, 2026

SpaceX is targeting Saturday afternoon for a Falcon 9 launch of the USSF-366 mission from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base.

The spontaneous launch window opens 2:52 p.m. to 6:52 p.m., with a backup opportunity available at 2:38 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16.

According to reports, this is likely a classified mission for the United States Space Force, comprised of a batch of classified low-Earth orbit satellites being launched on behalf of a U.S. government entity.

Following stage separation, the first stage booster will return and touch town on the Of Course I Still Love You droneship stationed in the Pacific Ocean for later retrieval.

There is the possibility that residents of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties may hear one or more sonic booms during the launch, depending on weather and other conditions, base officials said.

This will be the 18th flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched NROL-126, Transporter-12, SPHEREx, NROL-57, and 13 Starlink missions.

A live webcast of the mission will begin about 10 minutes prior to liftoff and is accessible at www.spacex.com/launches/ussf366, and via webcast on the new X TV app.

Launch dates and times are subject to change at any time due to mission requirements.

3-orbit spacecraft could help US remove satellites nearing end of life

Aug 15, 2026 09:52 AM EST

US spacecraft could safely remove satellites nearing end of life.

Dead satellites drifting around Earth could soon receive a controlled push out of orbit.

Firefly Aerospace has secured a contract from the US Department of War’s Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and Space Development Agency (SDA) to develop a preliminary design for a satellite deorbiting mission.

Announced on August 13, the project will use Firefly’s Elytra orbital vehicle to approach, examine, and remove spacecraft nearing the end of their operational lives.

The effort is intended to reduce the expanding debris population threatening satellites and future missions across multiple Earth orbits.

Elytra will approach and inspect aging satellites

Under the contract, Firefly will complete a preliminary design review, or PDR, covering its proposed mission architecture.

Successfully finishing the review will make the Texas-based company eligible to compete for the mission’s next phase, which could include the launch, spacecraft operation, and deorbiting campaign.

The proposed sequence begins with Elytra launching into low Earth orbit. The spacecraft would then maneuver toward the designated client object, conduct rendezvous and proximity operations, survey its condition, and perform the deorbiting service.

“Firefly is known for performing some of the hardest missions in space, and this mission is no exception,” said Jason Kim, CEO of Firefly Aerospace.

“In alignment with the White House order to prioritize orbital debris mitigation, our team designed a highly efficient, cost-effective solution for our Elytra vehicles to deorbit satellites nearing end of life,” he added.

One system designed for three orbital regions

Firefly says its proprietary deorbit system can support operations in low Earth orbit, medium Earth orbit, and geostationary Earth orbit.

This flexibility could allow Elytra to work with satellites operating at vastly different altitudes and built with varying sizes and configurations.

Elytra combines high-thrust maneuverability with substantial fuel reserves and payload capacity.

Those capabilities are important for missions requiring the spacecraft to alter its trajectory, reach another object, match its movement, and operate near it safely before beginning the disposal procedure.

The orbital vehicle incorporates flight-proven technology from Firefly’s existing launch vehicles and lunar landers.

Its avionics, composite structures, and propulsion architecture draw partly from systems used by Blue Ghost, the company’s lunar lander that successfully reached the Moon.

Firefly is separately preparing Elytra for a space domain awareness mission under another DIU contract. That flight is scheduled no earlier than 2027, and its core structures have been completed as the vehicle enters integration and testing.

Up to 25 launches planned through 2031

Beyond satellite servicing, Firefly is expanding its dedicated launch business. The company recently extended its multi-launch agreement with Lockheed Martin by two years, potentially covering up to 25 Alpha rocket launches through 2031.

Those missions will use the upgraded Alpha Block II configuration, designed to serve payloads in the 1,000-kilogram class while improving reliability and production rates.

The rocket is also being developed for deployable launch operations supporting responsive national security missions, hypersonic tests, and commercial satellite deployments.

Together, the programs position Firefly to handle both ends of a satellite’s life: delivering spacecraft to their chosen orbits and eventually helping remove them after their missions conclude.

You've been watching the Iran story wrong. It's not about tankers or negotiations.

It's about a system Kissinger built in 1976 — and someone just indicted him for it at Chatham House. @sjkokinda names the names.

A ‘ghost ship’ allegedly attacked Ecuadorian boats with bomb-dropping drones. The survivors want answers

August 15, 2026

Hernán Flores says he remembers the shock he felt when a sudden blast rocked his fishing boat in the Pacific.

“We heard the explosion – boom! It was the kind of blast that left my ears ringing. Right then, I felt blood running down me,” he recounted.

Flores had captained one of two Ecuadorian fishing crews who say their boats were sunk in an unexplained attack involving small, explosive-laden rotor drones launched by armed foreigners in March.

The incidents have been the subject of mounting interest in the United States, with the Washington Post this week reporting that the strikes were carried out as part of a covert CIA program – a claim CNN cannot independently verify.

A spokesperson for the CIA told CNN, “We do not have any guidance to offer on this.”

CNN spoke to multiple fishermen about the experience and what happened to them next. This is the story through their eyes.

‘Dropping the bomb on us’

The two fishing crews reported almost identical experiences, though they were attacked separately.

Several days into their respective fishing voyages, both said they spotted a mysterious blue ship and drones seemingly following them at a distance.

At the time, they said they had no reason to believe they were being targeted, so they carried on with their work.

A day or two later, they said their boats were suddenly attacked.

Without warning, a pair of drones either dropped explosives or crashed into the boats, hitting La Negra Francisca Duarte II on March 17 and Don Maca on March 26, according to the fishermen.

They described the drones as relatively small, measuring roughly the size of a pillow, with rotors in all four corners and a tube hanging from the center, from which explosives are believed to have been dropped.

The first drone seemingly detonated after crashing onto the gas tanks of La Negra Francisca, the crew recounted, while the second appears to have dropped an explosive.

Hernán Flores, captain of the boat’s 16 crew members, said one drone crashed into the boat, severely injuring the foot of his nephew Jordyn.

The flames from one explosion also burned the upper half of another crewmate’s back, according to the crew’s attorney Jorge Chiriboga Dávalos, who shared photos of the injuries.

In the attack on Don Maca a few days later, one of the 20 crew members said the first blast hurled him into the air.

“I went flying and slammed into a diesel tank that was sitting there,” Jaime Rubén Cervantes Macías recalled. “People were shouting, ‘Drone, drone, drone!’ So, I jumped up quickly to take a look – and it was a drone firing at us, dropping the bomb on us.”

His crewmate John Sebastián Palacios said the explosions were so loud they damaged his hearing. Another fisherman said the attack injured his left eye, causing it to lose most of its vision.

At some point, both crews said they spotted a different gray aircraft surveilling the situation from above. Hernán Flores described it as a “mini plane” with long wings. A sketch he made depicted the aircraft with a bulbous nose that tapered off toward the body.

Flight data suggested the area near the boats’ last recorded locations was being patrolled by a plane registered to a company whose address is listed as a private mailbox at a United Parcel Service store in Richmond, Virginia, according to public records first reported by the New York Times and later verified by CNN.

It Was Destroyed In Just Days...

In a matter of days, once-pristine beaches in the Spanish enclave of Ceuta have been reduced to open-air dumps and disease-ridden camps occupied by thousands of illegal migrants who refused to leave after the mass invasion from Morocco.

Locals describe feces, urine, garbage, and makeshift shacks covering the sand. Contagious illnesses are spreading. Mass brawls with bladed weapons have broken out.

What was a quiet coastal stretch has become a third-world encampment on European soil.

Footage circulating widely shows Trampolín Beach and surrounding stretches completely taken over. Residents report they can no longer bring their children to the shore.

"We can't take our kids to the beach, we can't go. They are occupied, they are full of shacks, people are eating there, throwing food, it's full of clothes, feces, urine," one local said.

🚨JUAN O SAVIN: WHAT IF YOUR BODY IS THE RECEIVER—AND YOUR DNA IS THE FREQUENCY?

In this remarkable 2014 interview with Doug Hagmann,Juan O Savin—then referred to as “W”—lays out one interconnected theory involving consciousness, the torsion field, DNA, transhumanism and silicon-based life.

Juan proposes that consciousness may not actually reside inside the physical body at all, but somewhere adjacent—“another heaven, if you will”—while the body functions like an avatar.

So how does your consciousness communicate with your body without the signal being “overwritten, hotwired, tapped into, or spoken over” by another consciousness?

Juan's answer: DNA.

He compares DNA to countless microscopic tuning forks, each vibrating at its own note. Together they create a signal, song or frequency unique to you—allowing the consciousness “transmitter” to communicate specifically with its physical “receiver.”

And behind it all, Juan proposes, is a torsion signal that is constantly present, connecting realities in ways our conventional physics may not yet recognize.

Then he turns to transhumanism—and asks the extraordinary question:

What if transferring consciousness from biological bodies into machines isn't merely our future? What if another civilization already did it in the distant past?

What if what we call “silicon-based life” is consciousness recorded on a different medium—and remnants of an earlier technological civilization are still capable of accessing our physical realm?

Consciousness.

DNA.

Torsion fields.

Ancient bloodlines.

Transhumanism.

Silicon life.

“Another heaven.”

Juan was connecting all of it—in 2014.

Democratic Party Insiders Behind Anchor Baby Hospital Network.

Its Founder Received a Biden Lifetime Achievement Award. His Daughter Sits in a DCCC Leadership Circle.1/2

AUG 15, 2026

Prime Healthcare leaders cultivated ties to Biden, Obama, Harris, Newsom and other top Democrats while their hospitals marketed “Birth Packages in South Texas” to pregnant women abroad.

Prime Healthcare leaders cultivated ties to Biden, Obama, Harris, Newsom and other top Democrats while their hospitals marketed “Birth Packages in South Texas” to pregnant women abroad.

Two Texas hospitals under investigation for allegedly marketing childbirth packages to foreign women belong to a politically connected healthcare empire led by a Biden-honored billionaire and a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s leadership network.

Dr. Prem Reddy founded Prime Healthcare and created the nonprofit Prime Healthcare Foundation, which owns Mission Regional Medical Center and Knapp Medical Center, the two hospitals now under investigation.

In 2024, Reddy received the Joseph R. Biden Lifetime Achievement Award.

His daughter, Dr. Kavitha Bhatia, now serves as president and chair of the $1.8 billion Prime Healthcare Foundation. Prime’s own biography identifies Bhatia as a member of the DCCC Leadership Circle for House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ro Khanna.

Prime also prominently displays Reddy, Bhatia and other company leaders with Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, Hillary Clinton, Karen Bass and Judy Chu.

While Prime’s leadership built relationships with some of the Democratic Party’s most powerful figures, its Texas hospitals were promoting discounted childbirth packages abroad through a website called:

HaveMyBabyInTexas.com.

“Are You Pregnant, Living Abroad?”

Texas officials began investigating after uncovering foreign billboards advertising “Birth Packages in South Texas.”

The Spanish-language advertisements promoted natural deliveries for $3,950 and cesarean deliveries for $5,525, directing prospective patients to the Have My Baby in Texas website.

A Mission Regional social-media advertisement reportedly asked:

“Are you pregnant, living abroad, and looking to welcome your baby in South Texas?”

The packages included private delivery and postpartum rooms, prenatal classes, breastfeeding assistance and neonatal intensive care discharge education.

The campaign used an international telephone number and featured testimonials from foreign patients, including a woman from Mexico City.

An archived version of the website identified both Mission Regional and Knapp Medical Center as participating hospitals. Texas officials also cited a Mission Regional Instagram post from July 2023, suggesting the campaign operated publicly for years.

Texas Health and Human Services referred the matter to Attorney General Ken Paxton after receiving information that healthcare providers receiving state or federal funding may have been soliciting birth tourism.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Prime’s Democratic Power Network

Prime’s political relationships extend far beyond Reddy’s Biden-branded award.

The company’s own advocacy page showcases Prime leaders with Biden and Jill Biden, Obama, Harris and Doug Emhoff, Newsom, Whitmer, Clinton, Bass and Chu.

The company’s own advocacy page showcases Prime leaders with Biden and Jill Biden, Obama, Harris and Doug Emhoff, Newsom, Whitmer, Clinton, Bass and Chu.

Prime says its executives supported Biden administration healthcare priorities and worked with Newsom on Medicaid access and Covered California.

Reddy has also contributed to Democratic heavyweights including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Al Gore and John Kerry, and was later honored with awards bearing the names of President Joe Biden and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

His daughter, Dr. Kavitha Bhatia’s, ties to the Democratic Party extend well beyond ceremonial photographs. Prime Healthcare’s own executive biography identifies the woman who chairs the foundation controlling both hospitals as a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Leadership Circle for House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ro Khanna.

Kavitha Bhatia shared a personal note from Joe Biden telling her to “Keep the Faith,” while writing that she was “truly grateful to have worked with President Biden and the Biden-Harris administration.”

Bhatia has also put money behind Democratic candidates. Campaign-finance records show she contributed $5,250 to Democrat Brian Goldsmith’s 2026 California state Senate campaign. Goldsmith is campaigning against Trump’s immigration crackdown, denouncing what he calls “unconstitutional ICE raids.” Bhatia has also contributed $3,000 to Democratic California state Sen. Anna Caballero. Federal campaign-finance databases additionally identify Bhatia as a contributor to the Harris Victory Fund and Harris for President in 2023.

Her proximity to Democratic leaders has been personal as well as financial. In 2024, Bhatia described attending an “unforgettable evening” with Joe Biden, Barack Obama and Gavin Newsom, writing that she was “truly grateful to have worked with President Biden and the Biden-Harris administration.” The event she described was Biden’s star-studded Los Angeles reelection fundraiser featuring Obama and Jimmy Kimmel, which raised more than $30 million for Biden’s campaign.

Bhatia further wrote that she had previously spoken with Obama during his presidency about expanding healthcare access and said that work “now continues with Governor Newsom.” Prime has separately boasted that Biden and Jill Biden met with Bhatia and her father, Prem Reddy, in 2022, when the president recognized what the company called Prime’s “invaluable partnership with the Administration.”

New trick found to put Trump’s name on Kennedy Center – media

The arts venue’s board reportedly found a workaround after a federal judge ordered that the president’s name be taken down

Published 14 Aug, 2026 23:41

The board of the Kennedy Center has voted to restore Donald Trump’s name to the Washington arts venue, multiple media outlets report, just two months after it was removed on a federal judge’s orders.

The Trump-aligned board voted to rename the institution after Trump and John F. Kennedy last December, and his name was subsequently added to its facade. However, US District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in May that the board lacked authority to change the name established by Congress and ordered the Trump signage removed. Workers complied in June.

This time, the board is not formally renaming the Kennedy Center after Trump. According to Axios, an inscription below the Kennedy Center sign will -read “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump,” while the physical site will be named “President Donald J. Trump Plaza.

The new formulation puts Trump’s name back on the building without formally declaring that the Kennedy Center is named after him, apparently to sidestep restriction stipulating that only Congress can change the institution’s name.

The board also voted on Thursday to move forward with a two-year closure of the center’s main venue for renovation. The proposed overhaul would refurbish aging infrastructure, polish the building’s marble facade, and renovate its halls and theaters.

“Under President Trump’s bold leadership, the Kennedy Center is on its way to becoming the finest cultural institution anywhere in the world,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston told Axios.

The naming saga has already inspired legislation in Congress. In January, Senator Bernie Sanders and several Democratic colleagues introduced the Stop Executive Renaming for Vanity and Ego (SERVE) Act, which would prohibit federal buildings, land, and other assets from being named after a sitting president. The bill remains at the committee stage.

Huston argued at the time that naming efforts like these reflect policy achievements rather than branding, citing initiatives including the TrumpRx prescription drug website, while noting that both Washington, DC and the Hoover Dam were named after presidents while they were still in office.

‘Disgusting’: Vigilante pedophile hunter Faze Nighthawk’s huge problem with Australia

A vigilante predator hunter who catches Australians grooming children and posts them online has a huge problem. And Australia should be ashamed.

He is the beanie-wearing vigilante trawling internet dating apps for predators who he later exposes to legions of adoring subscribers online.

Amir Hawatt, who goes by the moniker Faze Nighthawk, has amassed millions of views on social media for carrying out what he and others see as a vital public service.

The tactic is simple: Scour chatrooms for predators. Approach them under the guise of a pre-teen or barely-teenage boy or girl. Engage in often disturbing conversations online. Convince them to meet in public.

When the alleged predators eventually do turn up — sometimes after as many as seven months of baiting — there is no young person waiting for them.

Instead, Faze greets them with a camera crew, some microphones and a disarming approach that time and time again involves the accused confessing to grooming young people for sex.

In a recent video, Faze meets with an alleged child groomer in a public street in Sydney.

“So we can both agree she was a 13-year-old girl?” he asks the man.

“Yes. I sent a picture of my d**k. My bad, my total bad,” the man replies in the video, which has been viewed more than 1.5 million times.

“How long have you had an attraction to kids?” Faze asks.

“I haven’t. That’s the whole thing,” the man replies.

Within minutes, having convinced the man he is there to turn his life around, the police arrive.

“Are the police here for me?” the man asks.

“Can you just make them go away?”

The vigilante, who travels interstate for stings and spends countless hours in the darkest parts of the internet, is good at what he does. But that might not matter.

This week, he called his own work “a big waste of time”.

“In all honesty it feels like a big waste of time catching predators here in Australia. For what?” he wrote online.

“For them to end up getting three months in jail? For the judges to end up throwing out cases?

“These predators are confessing to having videos of kids being raped on their devices, and I’m constantly hearing ‘they’re out on bail’.

“Australia has no justice system, this is a rehabilitation country. Some of the worst offenders in history come from this country, and their sentences are a big slap on the wrist.

That phrase became the name for an entire category of toys, and we still use it more than 60 years later.

Prime Minister of Israel

@IsraeliPM 7h

The Prime Minister's Office:

This morning Hezbollah violated the ceasefire in Lebanon by attacking our soldiers in the security zone, which protects Israeli communities just across the border. The Hezbollah attack seriously injured three of our soldiers. The IDF responded by striking the Hezbollah terror headquarters which ordered the attack.

Only later did the IDF learn that Hezbollah deliberately put civilians in that military compound.

Hezbollah is willing to do anything, including using its own civilians as human shields, to falsely accuse Israel of deliberately targeting civilians, which the IDF clearly did not.

Helo ABBA82 also showing similar tracks.

Looks to me like they were recently freighted aboard a C-5 or C-17 possible with their transponders on.

The long looping tracks is just the system straight lining (great circle) between two distant points, shows up as a curve on a flat map.

Senator Ron Johnson Issues Warning to Fauci After He Refuses to Appear For Private Transcribed Interview

by Cristina Laila Aug. 15, 2026

Senator Ron Johnson on Friday evening fired off a warning to Dr. Fauci after he refused to appear for a private, transcribed interview.

Senator Johnson invited Fauci to appear for a private interview after the former NIAID director pleaded the Fifth Amendment 111 times and refused to answer questions.

Ron Johnson said his subcommittee will continue to obtain Fauci’s records and warned his team will explore legal options.

Full statement from Ron Johnson:

Dr. Fauci’s attorney has just notified us that Fauci refuses to appear for a private transcribed interview.

The American people deserve answers to legitimate questions regarding our miserably failed response to COVID-19. Some of those questions can only be answered by Dr. Fauci.He arrogantly once stated that he was “very happy to testify before any congressional oversight committee. I have nothing to hide.”

Apparently, he has a lot to hide.

Since Fauci refuses to talk about his role and decisions related to COVID-19,my Subcommittee will continue to obtain his records and request to speak with key individuals that he worked with. We will explore our legal options before deciding our next steps.

Last Monday, Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul released the first batch of text messages from Dr. Fauci’s Covid-era iPhone.

The text messages revealed that Fauci privately knew that the Covid vaccine caused miscarriages in pregnant women.

Fauci covered up the data that revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester.

The first batch of texts was between Dr. Fauci, former CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Biden’s Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy.

Fauci said a second dose of the mRNA Covid vaccine “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”

Clarence Thomas Reveals Certain Law Schools Won’t Host Him

By Cristina Laila Aug. 15, 2026

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said certain law schools won’t host him because of his political beliefs.

Justice Thomas said Stanford Law School and others are “off limits” to him because of his conservative political values.

Clarence Thomas made the remarks this week during a conversation with host Peter Robinson at the Hoover Institute.

Stanford denied Thomas’ claim that the law school wouldn’t host him.

“We would be honored to host Justice Thomas at Stanford Law School,” a spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News. “The Stanford Constitutional Law Center, directed by Professor Michael McConnell, former Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, regularly hosts members of the judiciary on campus.”

“Our students and faculty would welcome the opportunity to hear from Justice Thomas and engage with his perspectives on the Court, the Constitution, and the law,” the spokesperson said.

Fox News reported:

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas recently claimed that certain law schools and colleges were completely “off limits” for him and other conservatives to visit.

“You know, I have never been to Stanford Law School,” Thomas told Peter Robinson during an on-stage discussion hosted by the Hoover Institute. (He didn’t say he was invited to Stanford. So if they invited him he did not take the invitation. Someone is reading what he said inaccurately!)

He went on to say that current conservative thought leaders, like himself, are largely unwelcome from high education institutions like Stanford Law School.

“That’s the reality,” Thomas said. “That’s the world we’re in, because there’s certain places that are just presumptively off limits. This is the way it works. And that’s true. I mean, I’ve been to Yale Law School, but that’s the way it works. And to say it isn’t, is to lie.”

The comments from the high court justice came amid ongoing criticism from conservative pundits that college campuses have become intolerant to right-wing ideas and that students are being indoctrinated by liberal professors.

Thomas alleged that, if not for YouTube, the ideas and works of American economist Thomas Sowell, who profoundly shaped his political views, would be lost to the younger generation of students because some people’s views are “unpalatable” to the student body.
