High-powered rifle recovered amid manhunt for Charlie Kirk’s killer, the FBI says.

Poland sends 40,000 troops to the border before Russian military drills. It’s a headline that immediately grabs your attention, isn’t it? When you think about it, the situation is a bit of a déjà vu. We remember all the “military drills” on the Ukrainian border, and how that turned out. It’s hard not to feel a sense of unease when you see that kind of troop movement, especially when you know the history. The Russians, well, they have a certain track record. Let’s just say they’ve consistently shown a lack of interest in evolving beyond their tendencies of invading their neighbors.… Continue reading
The House’s partisan split has become even narrower with Democrat James Walkinshaw’s swearing-in, reducing the Republican majority to 219 seats. Speaker Johnson can now only afford to lose two Republican votes on party-line votes. The already slim majority presents significant challenges for congressional Republicans, as the narrow margin has historically created difficulty in passing legislation, with the upcoming government funding deadline posing an immediate test. The last time such a close margin existed was after the 1930 elections, highlighting the historic nature of the current situation.

The August jobs report revealed the weakest labor-market gain in five years, with the unemployment rate rising and long-term unemployment reaching its highest level in nearly a decade. A particularly concerning trend is the rise in Black unemployment, which has disproportionately impacted Black Americans, with unemployment reaching its worst levels since 2021. This downturn is linked to government firings, DEI rollbacks, and specific sector declines, especially in trade, transportation, and manufacturing. Historically, the economic struggles of Black workers often foreshadow broader economic issues, making the current situation a cause for alarm and potential further negative impacts on the economy.

Return of detained Korean workers in US delayed as Trump encouraged their stay, Seoul says – it’s a mouthful, isn’t it? Let’s break this down. It seems like a group of South Korean workers, who were apparently detained in the US, had their return home delayed because, well, former President Trump, according to Seoul, *encouraged* them to stay. And that’s where the story gets really interesting, and frankly, a bit unsettling.
So, what exactly does “encouraged” mean in this context? Based on the unfolding narrative, it sounds less like a gentle nudge and more like a forceful suggestion. The initial plan was for these workers to go back to South Korea.… Continue reading
