In his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court on Tuesday, Brown said that political differences couldn't have been the main reason for his firing from the NTSB.

Mexico Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco Alvarez (38): "Foreign policy is, in essence, the external expression of a national project. Our task is not limited to representing; we must transform. Translate diplomacy into prosperity for the people of Mexico, into effective protection for those who are far from home, and into tangible opportunities for the development of our country."

Iran's Embassy in Tajikistan on Tuesday posted an AI-generated video of Jesus Christ punching President Trump in the face. The embassy posted the video on its account on the social platform X.


Over the years, America has been blessed with visionaries in fitness who have reshaped how we exercise. Including one who hails from the great state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma senators decided the 79-year-old should be our school-aged children's fitness role model. While the details of the Trump administration's fitness plan are still being worked out, I suspect someone whose only exercise is playing golf probably wouldn't be able to pass the screening. The guidelines are expected to include pull-ups or push-ups, V-ups (a modified version of a sit up), a 1-mile run, and some sort of stretching component to measure how far you can reach beyond your toes.

The FIFA 2026 World Cup tournament has opened our eyes to the complexities of implementing border intelligence and protection measures for a tri-nation event drawing six million visitors from around the world. With the Summer Olympics arriving in Los Angeles in 2028 ("LA28") and major international sporting events and concert tours unfolding, there's likewise opportunity to reassess how we handle security at major events themselves.


Late last year, I relaunched Giant Freakin Robot with a renewed determination to avoid these pitfalls by making this the most exclusionary geek site on the internet. What does that mean? It means we will not work with writers who have bad ideas or ideas that are in direct conflict with the values and interests of our readers. That doesn't serve them or us. Specifically, Giant Freakin Robot's readers are geeky men, and always have been, so that means finding commentators who have the same fundamental world view that most geeky men have. Engaging Alex Kurtzman fans to write for Giant Freakin Robot would make about as much sense as investing in Giant Freakin Robot makeup tutorials.


"On 14 April, at the direction of the commander of US Southern Command, Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.

6 Jan maniacs pardoned by Donald Trump are conducting nationwide crime spree


The President of the United States, Donald Trump, is a deranged old pervert whose brain, long since sodden and pitted from a lifetime of indulgence and Diet Coke, is foaming out of his ears. Over the weekend he wigged out and posted some floridly unhinged shit on his busted little playpen social-media site about how Pope Leo XIV, the supreme pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church, is "too liberal" and "weak on crime""for God's sake, there's graffiti all over the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel!"apparently in tantrum response to Leo XIV having criticized both Trump's war of aggression on Iran and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's framing of that war as having been ordained by God. A little while later, Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ, healing by touch a guy who looks an awful lot like Jeffrey Epstein while a crowd of uniformly white people gaze on in wonder.

In the film Mad Max, an oil shortage leaves Australian society teetering on the brink of total collapse. In real-life, things aren't quite that dystopian yet Down Under. But with barely a month of stockpiled diesel left and hundreds of forecourts running dry, the anxiety is palpable.


On Monday, Trump said that he had instructed the U.S. Navy to "seek and interdict every vessel in international waters that has paid a toll to Iran," and the U.S. military later said that the "blockade will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas." However, ship tracking data analyzed by BBC Verify revealed that at least four Iran-linked vessels "crossed the Strait of Hormuz" without incident; two on Monday, and two overnight.


Since Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz sounded the alarm in January about the rampant Medicare fraud inside California's hospice system, ABC and NBC have not spent a second on their flagship morning and evening newscasts informing viewers of the billions of dollars scammed from U.S. taxpayers.
