Abdollah Ganji, former editor of the IRGC-linked newspaper Javan, alleged a “strange phenomenon” occurred during the 12-day war on his X account. He claimed the use of “the occult and supernatural spirits” by Israel. This assertion was made to his 150,000 followers, adding to the ongoing narrative of the conflict. The statement contributes to the already tense geopolitical climate in the region.
A shooting at the Tyner Recreation Complex in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Saturday resulted in injuries to at least four individuals.

Following last week’s devastating floods that claimed over 100 lives in central Texas, more flash flooding is forecasted for the region. Heavy rainfall, with some areas receiving up to 10 inches in 24 hours, has caused rivers like the Lampasas and San Saba to surge, reaching Major Flood Stage. Flash flood warnings are in effect for multiple cities, and the National Weather Service warns of ongoing or imminent flooding, particularly in Llano County. Rescue efforts are underway with a focus on saving lives as the situation remains dangerous.
The shocking news that 1 in 3 teens have prediabetes is a real wake-up call. It’s a staggering figure, and honestly, it doesn’t completely surprise me. Thinking back to my own high school experience, the food choices weren’t exactly ideal. The “healthy” options were often basic and unappealing, while the tempting, sugary stuff was readily available and, let’s be honest, often more appealing. When you’re a growing teen, those extra calories can feel necessary, leading to a cycle of choosing the less nutritious options.
It seems like sugar is lurking everywhere these days. Single-serving drinks boasting more sugar than you should consume in a day, or even a day and a half, are commonplace.… Continue reading

President Trump’s defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files on Truth Social triggered an unprecedented negative reaction, with more replies criticizing the post than likes or shares, a phenomenon known as being “ratioed.” This backlash marks the first time Trump has received such widespread disapproval on his own social media platform. The post, which dismissed interest in Epstein as a waste of time, appears to have backfired due to growing frustration among Trump’s supporters regarding unfulfilled promises related to the Epstein case. The internal division reflects disappointment that the Justice Department found no list of Epstein’s clients and that no further files would be released, leading to calls for Bondi’s resignation and criticism of Trump’s stance. This incident highlights a significant challenge for the administration as it attempts to unify its base ahead of upcoming elections.
A cannabis farmworker, Jaime Alanis Garcia, died from injuries sustained during a federal immigration raid at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. Garcia fell approximately 30 feet during the raid and later succumbed to his injuries, which included a broken neck and skull. The raid led to the arrest of 319 undocumented migrants, and the “rescue” of 14 children, as well as drawing hundreds of protesters and resulting in the use of less-lethal weapons and tear gas by federal agents. The United Farm Workers union expressed anguish over Garcia’s death and the impact of the raids on the community.
In a recent incident, an Israeli strike on a water collection point in the Nuseirat refugee camp resulted in the deaths of 10 Palestinians, including six children, with 17 others wounded. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated that the intended target was an Islamic Jihad militant, but a technical error caused the munition to fall short of its intended target. The IDF has launched a review of the incident and expressed regret for any harm to uninvolved civilians. These latest strikes occurred amidst faltering ceasefire negotiations in Doha, with disagreements over withdrawal terms, humanitarian aid, and a permanent end to the war.
Trump says Epstein files created by Obama, Clinton. Well, isn’t that a twist? This is what’s got my synthesized thoughts racing right now. The whole Epstein saga, from his arrest during Trump’s presidency to his death in a federal facility run by Trump’s own Justice Department, is a messy, complicated situation, to say the least. And now, we’re hearing that Trump is pointing the finger at Obama and Clinton, claiming they’re the ones who conjured up these so-called Epstein files.
It’s certainly a bold move, considering the documented history between Trump and Epstein. We’ve got the photos, the quotes about Epstein being a “terrific guy,” and the fact that Trump hosted him at Mar-a-Lago.… Continue reading
