Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were seen talking and laughing together at Ground Zero during the reading of the names of those who were killed during the 9/11 terror attacks.

As is tradition, the names of nearly 3,000 victims of those that were killed in the 9/11 attacks were being read aloud at Ground Zero for the 25th anniversary of the attacks when a camera streaming the service cut to the two Democrat lawmakers while others around them appeared in reverence for the occasion. The man shown on camera just before the Democrats was seen breaking down in tears, a stark contrast.

At a 9/11 anniversary ceremony at the Pentagon, President Donald Trump paid tribute those who died 25 years ago.

“We will honor their lives. We will cherish their beautiful memories, and we will protect this country and its freedoms for every future generation,” he said. “We will protect it like never before. For anyone who lived it, no words can do justice to the anguish of that day.”

Trump said the world will never go back to how it was before the Twin Towers fell, the Pentagon was hit, and United Flight 93 was hijacked and crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.

“We cannot forget that moment of immense and horrible evil that took place in this world, bent on the destruction of all that is good. But this morning, we also remember how America responded to that wickedness, when days like 9/11 we learn what a country is truly made of, we’re learning right now what we’re made of, and we have to be strong and we have to be smart,” he said.

“And Americans are made of a goodness and spirit that can transcend any earthly force,” he added, “and that’s what we’re doing better than anyone else has ever been able to do it, because we are sustained by a supreme strength far more powerful than steel alone.”

“We knew that this was a turning point, and this would be something that could change something to make it better for other women. You know, justice for those children is this never happening again,” juror Paula Davlin said.

This goes to a point that I have been making for years: Social justice is ultimately a perversion of actual justice. That is because justice is a matter of an individual’s actions, not a matter of group identity.

Just days later, the statue was defaced with red paint by an unknown culprit, who also crossed out Jesus’s name on a nearby sign.

EXCERPT:

A leading Kremlin propagandist erupted in fury after Ukrainian naval drones struck the resort of Sochi, blaming Britain and renewing calls for Europe to burn in revenge. Vladimir Solovyov, the state television and radio host long regarded as one of Vladimir Putin’s most reliable mouthpieces, used his Full Contact radio show to claim the overnight unmanned surface vessel assault on the popular tourist port was pure “terrorism” directed from London.

Up to 30 people were reported injured in the incident, which targeted the waterfront of the city that hosts one of Putin’s residences nearby.

In a clip shared by Russian Media Monitor on YouTube, Solovyov declared: “Zelensky is carrying out acts of absolute terror. And there’s no other way to read last night’s strikes on the Sochi waterfront. The strike was carried out by unmanned surface craft. And we understand that Britain is behind it. And it’s an absolute disgrace. We said yesterday: Europe should burn. Ukraine should burn. Do we not understand that the threats are growing?”

The rant, aired on September 10, 2026, fits a familiar pattern. Solovyov has repeatedly accused the UK of masterminding Ukrainian deep strikes with British-supplied weapons, technology and intelligence. He has previously demanded that British factories producing drones and missiles “must burn,” called for the destruction of MI6 assets, and vowed that Great Britain would be “wiped off the face of the earth” by Russian power.

A North Carolina Democrat has sparked outrage after endorsing the mass genocide of anyone who supports President Trump and his policies:

As Breitbart reported, North Carolina Democrat state legislative candidate Shelly Headen posted a Facebook story last week from a vacation that shows her in front of ovens in a German concentration camp memorial.

Headen was visiting Dachau, where the memorial states that the Nazis murdered 41,500 Jewish people.

The post accompanying the story says, “Visiting Dauchau [sic] Concentration Camp in Germany… This is where Trump supporters belong.”

You read this right. Headen says every Trump fan deserves to be burned to death like over 6 million Jewish people during the Holocaust.

Carlson’s Friday newsletter said El-Sayed “did not celebrate airplane hijackings or cheerlead Al-Qaeda.” He said the Democrat merely objected to how America answered the attacks.

El-Sayed’s 2021 line was that 9/11 “scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people.” He added that Americans “often fail to center them.”

Republican candidate Mike Rogers called that attitude disqualifying. Carlson called Rogers the problem.

When Lindsay Clancy’s trial for killing her three young children ended in a hung jury, the reason for the split became a bigger story than the verdict itself. The lone juror who refused to find Clancy not criminally responsible for her actions was the only black member of the panel, and the pile-on that followed has revealed something far uglier than one holdout‘s stubbornness.

No one ever disputed that Clancy killed her three children. The only question before Plymouth County Superior Court was whether she was criminally responsible or legally insane when she did it.

Since the judge declared a mistrial, several jurors have gone public, and one of them, Paula Devlin, has done more damage to her own credibility than to the holdout’s.

Devlin, who favored the not-criminally-responsible verdict, didn’t even hold back when she attacked the holdout juror. “He was very arrogant, he really did not take anything that anybody said,” Devlin said. “The nurses [on the jury], he tried to ask a question about the medications, and we went back to the report from South Shore Hospital. We had the toxicology report, we could see exactly the amounts. The nurses in the room spoke to that and talked to that. […] They spoke to that specific thing. That was a question that he had, and he just completely disregarded the information that they gave him.”

President Donald Trump wrote off calls for guardrails on artificial intelligence in a Monday Truth Social post, slamming Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei for sounding the alarm on the dangers posed by rapidly developing AI.

“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” Trump said. “The Trump Administration has stopped AI ‘people’ from doing bad, or potentially bad, ‘things,’ like Dario (Anthropic!), who is now pretending to be a ‘perfect little angel’ – and we will continue to do so!”

Over the weekend, Amodei wrote that “we must slow the pace at which we improve the capabilities of AI models.”

“Progress will still seem fast, and we must make wise use of the time we gain,” he said.

Fears about the future of AI have been boiling up after Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon resigned from Anthropic, saying “We’re on track for a lot of the most aggressive of these scenarios where by the end of next year things could be out of control already.” Another Anthropic employee, Evan Hubinger, chimed in that “We really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans!”

If these executives truly believe their technology poses an existential danger, they should stop selling advanced chips, systems and expertise to China—not demand a Washington regulatory fortress that protects their market share, crushes smaller competitors and leaves Beijing free to surge ahead. The answer is not an American retreat; it is American victory: accelerate innovation, secure our technology, impose strict safeguards against the dangers they warn about and deny our enemies the tools to surpass us. China will not pause. America must not unilaterally disarm in the most consequential technological race of the century.

America cannot surrender the future because a handful of AI executives have discovered that apocalypse is good for business.

MOSCOW, September 14. /TASS/. Russia’s engineer forces, together with partners from Laos, have organized humanitarian demining exercises in the Nizhny Novgorod Region for member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and dialogue partners (ADMM Plus), the Russian Defense Ministry reported.

“In early September, the Russian Chief of Engineers office, together with partners from Laos, organized an exercise on humanitarian demining for ASEAN countries and the association’s dialogue partner states at the training ground of the Nizhny Novgorod Guards Higher Military Engineering Command School. “The exercises were highly praised by all participating countries,” the ministry reported.

The ministry specified that, under the coordination of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Main Directorate for International Military Cooperation, more than 100 military personnel from Brunei, Vietnam, India, Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and the Philippines took part in the event.

According to the ministry, the exercises focused on humanitarian demining, the coordination of engineer units, the disposal of unexploded ordnance, and the use of specialized equipment. Modern ground robotic systems were actively employed.

The ministry reported that the closing session summarizing the results of the three-year Russian-Lao co-chairmanship of the ADMM Plus expert working group on humanitarian demining will take place in Laos in 2027.

EXCERPT:

Congress may have spent most of the last few weeks out of session. But despite lawmakers decamping from Washington for their home districts, rest assured that the swamp remains alive and well.

A recent story in Politico provides yet another example of how K Street lobbying works — with the former serving as the free publicity arm of the latter. The publication ran a story about hospitals purportedly incurring large losses without including any explanation of or justification for its claims. If there’s a more obvious way to shill for the organizations potentially paying thousands of dollars for subscriptions to one’s publication, I have yet to see it.

At issue in the article: two Medicaid-related provisions of last year’s budget reconciliation bill. The first one involves provider taxes, which most states assess on various groups of medical practitioners (including hospitals) as a fancy way of attracting additional federal matching dollars from Washington. The second involves state-directed payments, supplemental payments that Medicaid programs make — often to hospitals, and often with the state share of the payments financed via provider taxes or similar budgetary gimmicks designed to shift funding from the states to Washington.

The Politico article predicts catastrophe for hospitals:

Hospitals thought losing hundreds of billions in Medicaid funding through GOP-led cuts last year was bad. But coming regulations from the Trump administration could slash their funding even deeper than Congress did. Two recently proposed rules from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services [CMS] would cost hospitals hundreds of billions of dollars more, hospital executives told Politico. …

Hospitals say CMS’ rules restricting state taxes and payments go further than what Congress intended. Hospitals expected to lose $340 billion through 2034 after Congress passed the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act last year. If the rules are finalized as proposed, they would generate $756 billion in savings to the federal government and $265 billion in savings to states through 2035. Or as hospitals see it, they’re losing $681 billion more than they expected.

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that the United States will eliminate its 10 percent tariff on Irish whiskey, offering a significant trade concession to Ireland following repeated appeals from Irish officials and the country’s spirits industry.

Trump made the surprise announcement during the trophy ceremony at the Irish Open, held at Trump International Golf Links in Doonbeg.

“Everybody’s been bugging me” about the tariff, Trump told the crowd, adding that some professional golfers had raised the issue with him.

“And I said, ‘On behalf of the United States of America, I am going to take the tariffs off’” Irish whiskey, Trump said.

The announcement drew cheers and whistles from spectators. Trump did not provide a date for when the tariff exemption would take effect.

Irish whiskey has been subject to the 10 percent U.S. import tariff applied to many European Union products. Trump previously exempted certain British spirits, including Scotch whisky and whiskey produced in Northern Ireland, from U.S. tariffs.

In his Friday newsletter, Carlson declared El-Sayed “obviously right” after resurfaced remarks put the Democrat on the defensive for arguing that Americans fail to “center” the millions harmed by the U.S. response to the September 11 attacks. Carlson stopped short of a formal endorsement, but urged Michigan voters to keep Rogers “far away from Washington.” 

The remarks at issue came from a 2021 podcast. 

“9/11 scarred our country in profound ways, but what we did after 9/11 scarred millions of other people. When we talk about 9/11, we often fail to center them.”

“Today, I mourn the 3K lives, 6K injuries, & infrastructural devastation in NYC, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my faith. Tomorrow, I’ll mourn ~1M lives, millions of injuries, & infrastructural devastation in 3 countries, perpetrated ignorantly in the name of my country.”

Doing so by deploying federal agencies, executive orders, and personal lawsuits against journalists, media corporations, and critics.”

He then read through much of the piece, which included an excerpt saying America’s press freedom was “just below Botswana,” before he opined, “We could add to that the Pentagon has thrown out reporters from the building there. The White House hijacked the press corps and the pool in the building. The assaults go on and on. Deeply worrisome.”

Spain’s Federal Police Union (UFP) on Sunday denounced the “absolute collapse” of Ceuta’s overworked police forces, pushed to their limit by the mass illegal migrant invasion of the embattled enclave.

The police union is demanding the Spanish socialist central government deploys reinforcements to help the exhausted policemen in Ceuta amid rising violence — with a group police officers working long shifts to process a massive amount of asylum requests presented by alleged asylum seekers that swarmed their way into the Spanish North African Exclave in late July.

The UFP denounced the dramatic situation to several Spanish outlets on Sunday, elevating the union’s protests and demands after one of the overworked police officers in Ceuta suffered a heart attack over the weekend and was urgently admitted to a local Intensive Care Unit (UCI).

The Federal Police Union is reportedly attributing the officer’s heart attack to the “brutal level of stress and pressure” that police officers are facing as a result of the invasion.

According to El Pueblo de Ceuta, the UFP insists that the invasion of Ceuta has left a crisis that goes beyond migration, with the arrival of thousands of illegal migrants overwhelming the operation capacity of the exclave’s police forces. The chaotic late July events plunged the Spanish North African exclave into a far-from-resolved crisis including,  but not limited to, a surge in crime, sexual and other forms of violent assault, and the systematic collapse of Ceuta’s healthcare services.

The next scam call you receive may not sound like a robot, a call center, or even someone pretending to be your relative. AI voice generators have become capable of reproducing regional accents and dialects that sound convincing enough that researchers are warning they could become a potent social-engineering tool.

For example, a scammer could use an accent familiar to a targeted community to make a suspicious call sound considerably more trustworthy.

Research from Abertay University examined synthetic versions of Scottish Standard English and Dundonian Scots, a regional dialect spoken around Dundee. The study found people frequently assumed AI-generated speech was human, with that bias becoming even more concerning when regional dialects come into the conversation, which isn’t something people expect a machine to reproduce.

Another 2026 study, published in the Journal of Marketing Research, points to why that matters for scams. Researchers analyzed 7,002 entrepreneur-investor combinations from Shark Tank, 2,091 Kickstarter campaigns, and several laboratory experiments.
