KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv early on Sunday, setting off fires and wounding at least three civilians, while attacks on other parts of Ukraine later killed at least two people, local officials reported. The strikes come as Ukraine’s successful drone attacks have stalled the Russian army’s advances in an expanded campaign inside Russia that has been causing fuel shortages and piling pressure on Russian leader Vladimir Putin. In Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine, Kremlin-installed authorities said a Ukrainian drone strike had killed four civilians in the city of Horlivka. According to Ivan Prikhodko, the city’s Russian-appointed mayor, the…

Switching the clocks twice a year is “bad for your health,” Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA) said, discussing his support for the Sunshine Protection Act which would make daylight savings permanent. Speaking on Breitbart News Daily, Griffith described it as a “good bill.” “Let me explain. It is bad for health. It is bad for your health to switch back and forth twice a year, so you got to pick one. And for over a decade in Congress, we’ve been fighting over whether it would be daylight savings time or standard time. Question is, do you want more light in the…

Mwamba, a Texas Tech alumnus who previously ran for president in 2023 and finished 12th among 26 candidates after stepping aside for peace, told The Gateway Pundit that America’s push to secure Congo’s vast deposits of copper, lithium, cobalt and other strategic minerals is being undermined by “bad governance,” eastern unrest, and…

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) – Romania shot down a suspected Russian drone after it crossed into its airspace on Sunday – the third such incursion in three days in the Eastern European nation that’s both a European Union and a NATO member, the country’s president said. Two Romanian F-16 fighter jets scrambled from the Fetesti airbase, under NATO’s operational command, and shot down the drone over the Black Sea, the military alliance said. “A new drone was shot down this morning, at 10:13, by an F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, over the territorial waters of Romania, in the Sulina-Chilia…

Nearly 1,000 Georgia residents confronted OpenAI and Effingham County officials Thursday about a $20 billion data center project that had been negotiated in secret for months before being announced earlier this week without public input. The Current reports that the AI startup best known for developing ChatGPT held a community listening session at Effingham College and Career Academy to educate residents about the planned development, but the more than three-hour event featured more shouting than listening.

Two abandoned downtown Los Angeles skyscrapers, dubbed the “graffiti towers,” are finally getting cleaned up, but not without Mayor Karen Bass taking some heat for letting the site become the city’s towering symbol of urban decay. Critics have cited the skyscrapers as an example of the city’s decline — joining homeless encampments, widespread littering, open illegal drug use, and a general lack of nuisance enforcement under her administration. One news outlet was particularly brutal in its coverage of Bass, who heads America’s second largest city behind New York. “She let criminals run riot over $1bn skyscraper development for YEARS. Now…

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump is set to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Friday night, months after the event was derailed by a would-be assassin in April. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that Trump will deliver a “vicious” but “unifying” speech. The president noted in April that he was “all set to really rip it” in his speech before the dinner was cut short. “The president’s speech will be a combination of unifying yet vicious, and serious yet hilarious, all at the same time, if you can imagine that,” Leavitt told NBC News. “One thing I can assure you,…
