A Florida jury has convicted 59-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on five federal charges, including attempted assassination of Donald Trump, assaulting a federal officer, and multiple firearms violations. The case stems from an incident in September 2024 near Trump’s golf course in West Palm Beach, where authorities say Routh planned to carry out the attack. During the trial, prosecutors outlined how Routh spent weeks preparing, conducting surveillance, and positioning himself with an SKS-style rifle. Although he never fired a shot, Secret Service agents intervened and prevented the attempt. Evidence also revealed his use of burner phones to avoid detection. Routh, who…

Dozens of demonstrators were taken into custody near the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan as protesters blocked traffic and chanted slogans such as “No Trump! No fascist USA!” The crowd—estimated at over 150 people—also held signs reading “Reject Trump” and “Arrest Trump,” part of protests coinciding with President Trump’s speech at the UN General Assembly. Separately, climate activists with Extinction Rebellion blocked one of the UN checkpoints, leading to more arrests. Anti-Israel rallies further added to the chaotic scene, with authorities deploying barricades to manage the crowd. The NYPD processed most arrested demonstrators at headquarters while handling multiple incidents across…

At the United Nations General Assembly, President Donald Trump delivered a harsh critique of the UN, accusing it of failing to assist in U.S.-led peace deals and mocking its abilities after facing technical glitches—specifically a stalled escalator and a teleprompter malfunction. He told delegates that while he claims to have ended seven wars, the UN never reached out to aid or recognize those efforts. The speech questions the institution’s effectiveness despite his assertion of supporting its enduring potential. Trump also criticized global leadership on issues like migration, climate initiatives, and green energy, calling many programs counterproductive. He used vivid language,…
After being evicted last month, investigators found the remains of four infants at a home in Cadogan Township, close to Ford City, and arrested Jessica Marie Mauthe, 39, of Pennsylvania. When Mauthe’s previous landlord came inside to clean, he discovered the first body in a closet. It smelled bad and was wrapped in towels. Three more baby remains were found in the attic during a follow-up investigation, wrapped in plastic bags and towels and kept in tote bags. Mauthe allegedly admitted to investigators that she gave birth to the babies by herself over a period of years. Approximately a year…
During President Trump’s UN speech, Melania Trump was observed with a particularly stern expression, prompting wide reaction online to her withdrawn demeanor. Cameras caught her largely motionless, her gaze shifting without offering any visible support or reaction. The moment quickly went viral, with commentators noting how unusual it was for the First Lady, often composed at public events, to appear so distant while her husband delivered a fiery address. Some interpreted her silence and posture as a subtle but pointed contrast to Trump’s forceful rhetoric. Analysts say such unscripted expressions often attract attention, especially during high-stakes international appearances. The incident…
Conejos County officials in Colorado have determined that two 25-year-old men, Andrew Porter and Ian Stasko, were killed by a lightning strike while elk hunting in the Rio Grande National Forest. The pair had been missing since September 11 after reporting their location via satellite device. Their bodies were found under a large tree near the Rio De Los Pinos Trail Head after an extensive weeklong search. Though no major injuries were visible, minor burns and singed hair on their bodies, clothing, and gear pointed to lightning as the cause, according to the coroner. Investigators say death was instantaneous. Both…
As President Trump and First Lady Melania ascended the escalator at the United Nations ahead of his address to the General Assembly, the escalator abruptly stopped. The halt forced them to walk up the stationary steps. The incident activated a built-in safety feature in the escalator, which was triggered by a videographer who was walking backward ahead of the Trumps. The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects from becoming caught in the escalator’s machinery. Later, Trump’s teleprompter also failed during his speech’s opening, leading him to begin without the aid. He joked that the person operating it…
Google has announced that it will allow creators who were permanently removed from YouTube over alleged violations of past COVID-19 or election content policies to rejoin the platform. The decision was revealed in a letter to Congress by a company lawyer, who stated that the Biden administration applied pressure on Google to remove certain content—even when it did not clearly break YouTube’s rules at the time. The policy change affects both high-profile accounts and smaller creators, including figures who were previously banned for alleged misinformation. Under the new approach, channels that were terminated under now-defunct policies will be eligible for…
Following the discovery of emails in which Ferguson referred to Jeffrey Epstein—later found guilty of sex crimes—as a “supreme friend,” Prince William is reportedly pressuring King Charles to formally withdraw Prince Andrew and Sarah “Fergie” Ferguson from the royal family’s public duties. The dispute arose from a 2011 letter in which Ferguson purportedly thanked and praised Epstein, defying previous public declarations that distanced her from him. Her patronage was terminated by several UK charities as a result of the disclosure. According to sources, William believes the leak is extremely damaging and wants Andrew and Ferguson to suffer severe penalties in…
Citing what he called “unserious and ridiculous demands” from Democrats, President Donald Trump has canceled a scheduled meeting with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. The purpose of this week’s gathering was to seek a bipartisan compromise and address the rapidly approaching September 30 government funding deadline. Democrats had demanded that important health care programs, like as insurance subsidies and Medicaid, be preserved in any agreement. Trump declared that unless Democrats lowered their demands, the meeting would not go on. Schumer and Jeffries have responded by accusing Republicans of impeding talks and threatening to shut…
President Donald Trump’s address to the U.N. General Assembly began with unexpected technical problems: the escalator malfunctioned as he ascended to the podium, and the teleprompter failed to work. Forced to improvise, he opened his speech without relying on his usual aids, joked about the equipment failures, and warned that “whoever’s operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.” He said speaking without the teleprompter allowed him to “speak from the heart.” Once the teleprompter came back online, he resumed with his planned remarks—covering both domestic and foreign policy issues. He also revisited a past bid to renovate the U.N. headquarters,…
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries sharply criticized President Trump after the White House called off a meeting with congressional Democratic leaders meant to hammer out a funding deal ahead of the looming September 30 shutdown deadline. Jeffries, speaking in Brooklyn, dismissed Trump’s remarks accusing Democrats of making “unserious and ridiculous demands” as disconnected from the core issues in the current spending debate. He said the president’s language was about politics, not policy, and that the real question is whether funding bills protect critical programs like health care. He also reaffirmed that Democrats are open to negotiations and willing to sit…
In her memoir 107 Days, Kamala Harris describes frustration during the 2024 VP debate where her running mate, Tim Walz, stumbled under questioning from Sen. J.D. Vance. Watching Walz’s performance unfold, Harris turned to her husband, Doug Emhoff, and said, “What is happening?” after she felt he fell for Vance’s tactics. Harris had hoped Walz would be “the closer,” delivering strong answers, but she writes that he smiled and nodded along with Vance’s false show of bipartisanship. His misstep came when he had to respond to a question about being in Hong Kong during pro-democracy protests in Tiananmen Square but…
President Donald Trump urged NATO member states to shoot down Russian warplanes that enter their airspace without permission, saying allied nations must take firmer, more decisive action to defend their sovereign skies. Speaking publicly, Trump argued that nations should not tolerate repeated airspace incursions and that a robust military response — including using lethal force when foreign aircraft violate national borders — was necessary to deter further provocations. He framed the proposal as a matter of protecting territorial integrity and pressuring European allies to strengthen their defense postures. The comments came amid heightened tensions between NATO and Russia over recent…
