Gone but never forgotten. Twenty-five years since the Twin Towers disappeared from New York’s skyline in a terrorist attack they returned Wednesday night, brought back into the public consciousness courtesy of a drone-delivered light show. A total of 2,977 airborne lights rose into the night sky symbolising each one of the people killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks orchestrated by al-Qaeda terrorists. They then moved together into formation, tracing the outlines of the fallen but still vividly remembered towers that made the World Trade Center at their full architectural majesty. Videos shared on social media show the drones rebuilding the familiar-but-lost…

CBS host Gayle King exhibited dismay upon learning that a black man was the lone holdout juror who did not vote to acquit in the Lindsay Clancy case, saying he needed a moment to come to terms with the revelation.  Clancy killed her three children, and admitted to the crime, but the defense argues she is not guilty by reason of insanity. A mistrial was declared last week after one male juror held the line. During a Friday CBS interview with juror Paula Devlin, King wanted to know exactly who the holdout juror was, likely thinking he was a heartless…

Anthropic disclosed Thursday that it had shut down several attempts this year by scientists to use its artificial intelligence models for research that could contribute to biological weapons development. Anthropic published a report detailing misuses of its AI systems over the past eight months, describing cases in which state-linked actors and researchers tried to exploit its technology. Anthropic said it could not always tell whether the biological research in question was legitimate science or something more dangerous, but it banned the accounts involved regardless. In some cases, according to the report, scientists got around Anthropic’s controls that block access from…

The $5,000 “Trump dividend” proposal is a “reward for people” for putting up with Biden’s poor economic policies, President Donald Trump told reporters following his appearances at the GOP’s midterm convention. Trump pitched the dividend checks during both of his speeches at the midterm convention. “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them, because of our… tremendous economic success, like in history we’ve never had anything like what’s happening, but because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of…

Wednesday, during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) applauded to Sens. Dave McCormick (R-PA) and Eric Schmitt (R-MO) for their speeches at the Republican National Convention underway in Dallas. According to the Ohio Republican lawmaker, for the GOP to be successful in the November midterm elections, they needed to highlight the accomplishments of the Trump administration while also reminding voters how “radical” the Democratic Party had become. “[N]ow there’s signs, because we’ve deported, and others have left voluntarily, about 3 million people,” host Laura Ingraham said. “Rents are stabilizing. There’s more housing available.…

Darklanlan, Wikimedia Commons A teacher guide in Fairfax County, Virginia, is being blasted for its tone-deaf approach to discussing the 9/11 terrorist attacks with students. The six-page instructional guide, “25th Anniversary and Commemoration of 9/11,” was distributed to teachers and focuses more on shielding students from ‘anti-Muslim racism’ than covering the history of the murder of almost 3,000 people on American soil by Islamists. It is especially galling as the district sits just miles from where a hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon. Per Fox News: A digital content analysis reveals that about half of the 1,740-word document is devoted…

The Islamic regime in Morocco released a statement Thursday rejecting accusations of its alleged involvement in the mass illegal migrant invasion of Ceuta — affirming “no evidence, facts, or reports” can substantiate said allegations. The Moroccan regime affirmed that it will not accept becoming a political “scapegoat” for Spain’s politics — an assertion that comes right as an overwhelming majority of Spaniards believe that Morocco was behind the chaotic invasion. In recent days, several Spanish politicians from the center-right People’s Party (PP) and the anti-mass-migration Vox party have intensified accusations against Morocco, accusing its regime of having driven the migrant invasion…

Democratic socialist and state Rep. David Morales has defeated Democrat Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Brett Smiley in the mayoral primary race, making another win for the far-left Democratic socialist movement in the country. Decision Desk HQ and NBC News are projecting a victory for Morales in Tuesday’s primary against Smiley, which will put him up against Republican Dave Talan in November’s election. However, with this primary victory, he is widely viewed as the presumptive winner, given City Hall’s status as a solid Democrat stronghold in the state. “I’m running for mayor because I believe government can do so much more…
