The U.S. Army is investigating the apparent flyby of that military branch's Apache helicopters over the weekend at the Nashville home of singer Kid Rock, a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, an Army spokesman said Monday. On Saturday, Kid Rock posted videos on his X account showing two helicopters hovering and flying close to his home, as he pointed at them, pumped his fist in appreciation, and saluted while standing next to a pool, a miniature "Statue of Liberty" and a sign above his head that said, "Southern White House." "This is a level of respect that s--- for brains Governor of California will never know," the singer wrote in one post, referring to Gov. Gavin Newsom, a staunch Democratic critic of Trump.
The federal government has not yet replaced the bullet-pocked windows that serve as a grim reminder of an attack at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention more than seven months ago, the agency's acting chief acknowledged Wednesday. CDC employees asked Dr. Jay Bhattacharya about the broken windows during a staff meeting, noting that the panes were papered over. "We're working on that," Bhattacharya said, adding that it's a priority. Another CDC official said permanent window replacement work is underway. In August, a 30-year-old man fired more than 180 shots into the campus and broke about 150 windows, with bullets piercing "blast-resistant" windows and spattering glass shards into numerous rooms, according to information circulated internally at the agency.
The Trump administration bombed a school with an "untested" missile on the same day as a strike that killed 175 at another school, according to a report. A new Precision Strike Missile, which has never been tested in combat and only made it out of the prototype phase last year, was used in the attack, The New York Times reported. The Times reported that "a weapon bearing the hallmarks of a newly developed U.S.-made ballistic missile," known as a PrSM, hit a sports hall and adjacent elementary school near an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps military facility in southern Iran. The attack came on the first day of the war on Feb. 28, the same day a double strike on the Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab, southern Iran, killing 175, including more than 100 schoolgirls, according to Iranian media.
