HIGH ALERT: Foiled UK Terror Plot could Change Security at US Bases Worldwide, Expert Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

Five men arrested near a key U.S. bomber base in the U.K. on Sunday may have planned a “complex,” coordinated attack with potentially far-reaching security implications for American military installations globally, a former U.S. intelligence official warned.

As counterterrorism police investigated after officers detained the suspects near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, a former Pentagon official also said President Donald Trump will ultimately be the one to decide the consequences if indeed the “trail leads to Tehran.”

The men were initially held on suspicion of offenses under Britain’s Explosives Act before being arrested on terrorism charges in connection with the airfield, a key U.S. Air Force hub and the primary European base for American strategic bombers.

“We had them under investigation,” Trump told reporters in Chicago. “They were looking to do big damage to our fort.”

“It may have been Scotland Yard. I don’t know. We worked with a lot of them. We had them under view for a long time, and we got them,” Trump added. (Read more from “HIGH ALERT: Foiled UK Terror Plot could Change Security at US Bases Worldwide, Expert Says” HERE)

Healthcare Workers Are Dropping Health Insurance As Affordability Crisis Drags On

/0 Comments/in , /by

Some U.S. healthcare workers are now dropping health insurance coverage as costs continue to skyrocket.

Many health professionals are currently grappling with unaffordable medical bills, according to multiple recent reports. More medical workers will likely forgo health insurance in the near future, potentially straining the nation’s healthcare system, experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Healthcare workers are no different than the millions of Americans facing skyrocketing insurance premiums they cannot afford,” a Coalition to Strengthen America’s Healthcare spokesperson told the DCNF. “This has meant more people forgo purchasing insurance and put off care until they need an emergency department visit, which can lead to hospitals becoming overwhelmed.”

“An increase in the number of independent and small practice providers foregoing health insurance has the potential to put more strain on the larger healthcare system if they forego preventive care, get sick and cannot afford treatment or need to step back from the workforce,” the spokesperson continued. “This is especially true in rural communities, where hospitals and health systems are already stretched thin.”

In 2025, family premiums for employer-sponsored health insurance climbed to an average of $26,993, according to estimates from KFF.

Iran Ready for ‘Doomsday War’ after Trump Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal — but Still Wants Peace: Tehran Negotiator

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi insisted that his country is fully prepared for a “doomsday war” with the US, but claimed the regime prefers peace.

“We stand firm in the face of any aggression against us, even when it comes to a doomsday war,” Araghchi told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. “At the same time, we are ready for diplomacy.”

Araghchi pointed to Iran’s seven-day cease-fire proposal as a “very reasonable plan on the table,” despite President Trump’s decision to reject that overture.

The proposal purportedly entailed the US unfreezing some $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets, ending the blockade, and easing sanctions in exchange for a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump argued that the proposal wasn’t acceptable, and top administration officials contended that it asked the US to make too many concessions up front. (Read more from “Iran Ready for ‘Doomsday War’ after Trump Rejects Cease-Fire Proposal — but Still Wants Peace: Tehran Negotiator” HERE)

Round 2 of NYC’s Nor’easter Hits After Tree Falls on Two Young Kids and Leaves Surreal Scenes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The nor’easter took the Big Apple by storm — again.

A 1-year-old boy and 7-year-old girl were among four people hurt by a falling tree in Brooklyn, it surfaced Sunday — as round two of the region’s deadly weekend storm battered the city.

The wet-and-wild storm sent hapless ocean fish swimming through driveways and hungry seagulls diving for dinner in city streets — while prompting a waterlogged NYPD cop to deem it the worst flooding in his Queens neighborhood since 2012’s Hurricane Sandy.

“I mean, there’s horseshoe crabs all the way here up to Broad Channel Drive,” said rubber-boot-wearing off-duty Officer Matt Langdon, 48, standing in the water pooled outside his Beach 84th Street house.

“I moved here to Far Rockaway when I was 10, and this is the worst it’s been since Sandy.”

“Our crawl space is flooded up to the joists,” the cop told The Post on Sunday. “At its highest, it was coming up to my thigh, it was 2-and-a-half-feet deep at my house. My kids are stuck in the house.” (Read more from “Round 2 of NYC’s Nor’easter Hits After Tree Falls on Two Young Kids and Leaves Surreal Scenes” HERE)

Pope Leo Takes On Assisted Death, Secularism, Education In Blunt Message To French Establishment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Pope Leo XIV has used his apostolic visit to France, running from September 25-28, 2026 to discuss abortion, euthanasia, surrogacy and the place of Catholic schools in a once staunchly Catholic, but not officially secular country.

The pope’s trip is unfolding amid French President Emmanuel Macron’s progressive government which enshrined abortion in the Constitution in 2024 and recently passed legislation legalizing assisted death. Pope Leo addressed some of the underlying questions on these issues while invoking Catholic teaching.

While at the Elysee Palace in Paris Friday, the American pope, whose grandmother was French, delivered his speech in the country’s native tongue. He remarked that modern society often expects science to eliminate or alleviate every form of suffering, a hope that “often brings the risk of self-delusion.”

When science and technology lack deeper wisdom, he said, they can offer “immediate solutions that apparently address people’s wishes and their pain” yet fail to serve the greater good. He then voiced specific concern about trends that turn scientific advances into profit-driven enterprises, citing genetic manipulation, surrogacy, the trade in human organs and “the possibility of arranging one’s own death.”

The Pope noted that mutual respect and the protection of every human life remain duties binding on all. Later, at UNESCO headquarters, he reinforced the point by stating that “the human person is someone who is conceived and born.” (Read more from “Pope Leo Takes On Assisted Death, Secularism, Education In Blunt Message To French Establishment” HERE)

A Google Employee Said He Quit Because He’s Worried about Superintelligent AI

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Google employee said he resigned from the company, citing the pursuit of powerful artificial intelligence as “inherently irresponsible.”

Robert O’Callahan, who worked at Google DeepMind, wrote in an X post that his team was developing chips to make AI faster and cheaper and that he believed AI was already “progressing too fast.”

He shared a resignation letter on his personal blog that he said he sent to colleagues on Friday, in which he wrote that he couldn’t “turn a blind eye” to the impact of his work because it “would not be a Jesus-following thing to do.” He describes himself as a Christian in his blog’s bio.

“This has not been an easy decision. I love my colleagues and my work environment, and being paid handsomely to solve fun puzzles has been amazing,” he wrote. “But my team’s goal is ultimately to make AI much cheaper and lower-latency, and I don’t think that’s good for people right now: I firmly believe AI progress is currently far too rapid (and I have doubts about the destination too).”

Business Insider could not establish how long O’Callahan, who says he is based in New Zealand, worked for Google. Approached for comment, O’Callahan referred Business Insider to the blog post. Google declined to comment.

O’Callahan joins a string of employees from AI companies who have either quit over safety concerns or sounded the alarm from within. (Read more from “A Google Employee Said He Quit Because He’s Worried about Superintelligent AI” HERE)

The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth

/1 Comment/in , , /by

It’s an age-old question: How much of the differences between the way men and women behave are a result of nature, and how much is nurture?

A new study could shed more light on this. It shows different behavior between newborn boys and girls could appear just hours after birth.

Researchers from the University of Cambridge believe forces at work before birth — like sex hormone levels, might play a role, or even that the changes are a result of a slightly faster cognitive development in newborn girls.

They showed newborns — only about 33 hours old — two videos. One was a human face, the other, an animated Newton’s cradle (swinging metallic spheres).

Both sexes spent slightly longer looking at the face than at the Newton’s cradle. But researchers found that girls spent proportionally more of their looking time on the face than boys did. (Read more from “The Surprising Way Girls and Boys Behave Differently just Hours After Birth” HERE)

Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?

/1 Comment/in , /by

A federal grant program tailored towards the trades being adopted across the United States may help reshape higher education as millions of Americans go back to school.

North Carolina became the fifth state to be approved by the U.S. Department of Education (ED) for Workforce Pell (WFP) grants Friday, paving the way for more Americans to receive federal funds for pursuing career and technical education (CTE), according to a press release.

WFP’s implementation, which began July 1, 2026, under the Working Families Tax Cuts Act signed July 4, 2026, by President Donald Trump, comes after around 60% of American adults aged between 18-28 surveyed by ResumeTemplates.com in October 2025 reported they have considered pivoting towards the trades as opposed to traditional higher education.

“Workforce Pell is finally a reality after decades of debate—opening new doors for students across the nation,” ED spokesperson Ellen Keast told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This landmark student aid program is designed to move beyond the outdated college‑for‑all model and expand access to in-demand, workforce‑focused credentials that can be completed quickly and at lower cost.”

Some of the covered CTE programs could help individuals attain employment in as quickly as eight weeks, according to a May press release by ED. (Read more from “Could The Trump Admin’s New Grant Program Disrupt Higher Education?” HERE)

Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Hindustan Times. The mystery surrounding a boat-shaped formation in Turkey, which some researchers believe could be the remains of Noah’s Ark, has taken a new turn after fresh underground scans reportedly detected possible tunnels, chambers and multiple structural layers.

The findings come from an international team investigating the Durupınar Formation near Mount Ararat. The Daily Mail, which reported the findings exclusively, said researchers now claim they have “100 percent confirmed” that the formation is a “man-made object”.

However, the findings have not established that the site is the biblical Ark. Researchers say the radar readings and material recovered through drilling require further physical and scientific testing.

According to the Bible, Noah’s Ark saved humanity and every kind of animal from a catastrophic flood. Some biblical chronologies place the flood more than 4,300 years ago.

The latest radar surveys reportedly detected structural layers, straight lines, right-angle intersections and large cavity-like spaces at different depths. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark’s Resting Place ‘100% Confirmed’? New Scans Detect Possible Tunnels Underground” HERE)

Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure

By Newsweek. A team searching for the remains of Noah’s Ark shared a video from inside a 515-foot boat-shaped formation in Turkey that they believe could contain the biblical ship’s remains. On X, the team referred to the video as the first look at “footage from inside Noah’s Ark.”

The international group of archaeologists, geologists and soil scientists announced on Wednesday that they had started collecting core samples from the Durupınar Formation, which has attracted people hoping to find Noah’s Ark since its outline was identified in 1959.

Preliminary radar data do not show “a simple homogeneous solid-rock signature,” said Andrew Jones, founder of Noah’s Ark Scans. His U.S.-based group is working with Bakhtar Research and Engineering LLC, whose scientist, Dr. Khosrow Bakhtar, led the radar survey. The wider investigation is directed by archaeologist Cenker Atila of Sivas Cumhuriyet University.

Noah’s Ark Scans later posted footage from its Gopher drone, an “underground robot built to go where a person cannot” equipped with a high-resolution camera. (Read more from “Noah’s Ark Hunters Share Video Update From Inside Mysterious Structure” HERE)
