[ad_1] Trump’s war on Pope Leo includes cloak and dagger When Trump declared Pope Leo “terrible for foreign policy,” the U.S. intelligence community took the president’s remarks as a directive to prioritize spying on the Vatican. It has for years, sources tell me. The CIA has human spies working inside the Holy See bureaucracy. The NSA and CIA seek to intercept telecommunications, emails, and texts. The FBI investigates crimes committed against and by the Vatican. The State Department closely follows the ins and outs of Papal diplomacy and politics. All of these agencies liaise with the Vatican’s own foreign policy,…

In Baltimore on Oct. 20, 2025, a 17-year-old student named Taki Allen was sitting outside his high school after football practice when an artificial intelligence-enhanced surveillance camera falsely identified the Doritos bag in his pocket as a gun. Within moments police cars arrived, officers drew their weapons and Allen was forced to his knees and handcuffed while they searched him. All they found was a crumpled bag of chips. The AI’s misidentification and the human decisions that followed turned a normal evening into a traumatic confrontation. On Dec. 24,…

Competitors and audience felt the tension and excitement as the inaugural 2026 Honey Bun Eating Challenge at Washington Corrections Center/Cedar Hall/C and D tier was about to begin. After several other community activities on the tier—Secret Santa during the holidays and a Super Bowl party—a couple of guys decided they wanted to keep the positive energy going.

[ad_1] The Florida Highway Patrol arrested Zachary Krug, an officer with the Temple Terrace Police Department, on charges of vehicular homicide and reckless driving after a crash that killed a 6-year-old girl.

The crash killed Layla Sakowski and seriously injured several others, including her…

[ad_1] Screenshot On Tuesday, Judge Napolitano asked me to respond to Nicholas Kristof’s reporting on the systemic rape and sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners and hostages. Here is what I had to say: Napolitano: Let’s go to another article, which is of some controversy. It’ll be in The New York Times tomorrow, so the only way you could see it today is in the digital version, and that’s Nick Kristof’s article about the prison rapes in Israeli prisons, which is very difficult to read, but which evoked a firestorm from the Israeli foreign ministry. Kristof, who almost apologized for writing…

[ad_1] When President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing yesterday for his summit with Xi Jinping, much of the American foreign policy establishment framed the meeting through the familiar lens of “great power competition.” Analysts will scrutinize every handshake, communiqué, and trade announcement for signs that Washington is either “standing up” to China or “conceding” ground to its principal rival. But the more important reality is that the summit will likely underscore just how much the balance of leverage has shifted over the past several years—and how little appetite Beijing has for rescuing Washington from the consequences of its own strategic…

[ad_1] Salmon aquaculture close to Klaksvík, Faroe Islands. Photo: Ekrem Canli. CC BY-SA 4.0 Fish farming, a form of aquaculture, is now the fastest-growing form of factory farming worldwide. This rapid expansion can be attributed to the industry’s emphasis on buzzwords such as “climate,” “conservation,” and “sustainability.” While discussions about land-based farmed animals, such as cattle, pigs, and poultry, are dominated by their impact on emissions and the environment, aquaculture has been positioned as a sustainable alternative, allowing it to quietly transform coastlines into industrial zones while affecting marine ecosystems and communities in ways that are often invisible to the…
