Trump's insane letter leaves not doubt. Even by Trump's standards, this letter is so dangerous and so delusional that there is no longer any question that the president is mentally "unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office," as laid out in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.
President Donald Trump wants Americans to watch the Army-Navy football match whether they like it or not. Trump, 79, announced in a Truth Social post on Saturday night that he planned to sign an executive order mandating an "exclusive four-hour broadcast window" to air the annual matchup between the two military service academies. The 2026 Army-Navy game will take place on Dec. 12 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. It is held every December and is played between cadets from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and midshipmen from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. "The Army-Navy Game is one of our Greatest American Traditions " Unmatched Patriotism, Courage, and Honor! This incredible Tradition is now at risk of being pushed aside by more College Playoff Games, and Big TV Money," he wrote. "NOT ANYMORE!"
At least 21 people have died in a train collision in southern Spain and left dozens more injured, as authorities warned the death toll could increase in Spain's worst rail crash in more than a decade. Carriages on a Madrid-bound train derailed and crossed over to the opposite tracks, colliding with an oncoming train in Adamuz, near the city of Crdoba. Read more
DHS Border Patrol recruitment video (quoting Isaiah 6:8): "I heard the voice of the Lord saying....and I said, Here am I. Send me.'" "God doesn't ask for the most polished, or the most powerful. He asks for the willing ... and ready to move where he leads. It's a choice to face the unknown and to trust that God will equip you along the way."
Don Lemon captured anti-ICE protesters storming a church and confronting a pastor who they believed works as an immigration agent during a chaotic scene that sabotaged the church's service on Sunday. Lemon recorded the protesters during a livestream on his YouTube program. The protesters ran into Cities Church in Minneapolis and started screaming and chanting slogans like "Hands Up, Don't Shoot!" and "ICE OUT" repeatedly. "They've stopped the service [and] a lot of people, a number of people have left," Lemon reported.
Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, one of the wealthiest people in the technology industry, had named his 191-foot yacht "Izanami," a reference to a Japanese Shinto deity associated with creation and death. However, the name was later dropped after Ellison was informed that when spelled in reverse, it reads "I'm a Nazi," a phrase widely considered offensive. The incident was detailed in a profile published by Vulture. Following this discovery, the yacht's name was changed, the report said.
The annual DOD suicide report, a critical data source for US military suicide prevention which is typically published each fall, is missing and Pentagon spokespersons had no clear answers as to where it is and when it will be finally released.

Since the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has made it clear he's concerned about America's low birth rates, and the country's aging population.
In this horrendous "Year of "Mars," Russia is targeting nuclear power plants to destroy Ukraine's infrastructure to freeze and demoralize the people this winter, also raising the specter of potential radiological contamination in the beleaguered country.

TWO BROOKLYN MARKETERS pleaded guilty Thursday to conspiring to defraud Medicaid in a $68 million kickback scheme tied to adult day care and home health services that were billed but not provided, according to a U.S. Department of Justice press release. Manal Wasef and Elaine Antao, both 46, admitted to steering Medicaid recipients to two Brooklyn social adult day care centers and a home health care fiscal intermediary in exchange for illegal cash bribes. Prosecutors said the scheme ran from 2017 through 2024 and involved laundering proceeds through shell entities to fund kickbacks. The guilty pair agreed to forfeit about $1 million. They each face up to 10 years in prison
I am but one in a sea of many Americans viewed as a threat to the established order. I was once a part of that order. I helped build it. It would turn out I couldn't survive because I couldn't follow the rules of thought and speech that are mandated by everyone on the Left, especially those at the New York Times. It's personal, you see. I used to believe that if all I did was read Page One of the New York Times, I'd be well-informed. Brainwashed is more like it.
If antisemitism has long plagued France, dating back to the Middle Ages, it's now metastasizing in new, alarming ways, according to a recently published book by French journalist Nora Bussigny. Titled "Les Nouveaux Antismites" ("The New Antisemites"), it exposes virulent Jew-hatred endemic to many far-left organizations in France, infiltrated by Bussigny as part of a lengthy undercover investigation. Using a false identity, Bussigny uncovered pervasive antisemitism and anti-Zionism, now a common denominator among diverse groups that often disagree on other matters. "I saw with my own eyes to what degree Islamists, far-left so-called progressive' militants and feminist, LGBT and ecological activists are closely linked in their shared hatred of Jews and Israel," Bussigny told The Times of Israel during a recent interview on Zoom.

The post-1945 financial order: Europe buys US debt, America stations troops in Europe. Simple. Elegant. Mutually beneficial for seventy years.
When (Z) served as a TA for History of Religions (back then, History 4), and for History of Christianity (back then, History 161), the phrase that professor S. Scott Bartchy surely used more than any other was "radical inclusivity." That is the nutshell version of how Jesus' version of Judaism was different from what came before. He largely rejected various forms of ritual purity (particularly keeping kosher) and said, "What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." Yehshua ben Yosef did not prefer to figure out who was in the tent, and who was outside, but instead to try to make the tent as big as is possible (and to treat even those who are outside the tent with kindness and decency).
This Week in Schadenfreude: Kennedy Center Performers Keep Opting Out It's been long enough since we wrote a "schadenfreude" (excepting the bonus schadenfreude earlier this week) that we did not realize that the last one was ALSO about the Kennedy Center. We guess that institution has become a vergence in the schadenfreude force.
New documents show the crew on board the United States' newest aircraft carrier are growing increasingly frustrated by design flaws that lead to regular failures in the ship's toilet system.
