1 person hospitalized after renewable energy component causes multi-lane closure on I-70 One person is reported injured after a wind turbine blade broke loose from a truck and crashed into traffic on Interstate 70 in Maryland. It happened early Monday morning in Washington County, the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) confirmed to Fox News Digital. "At approximately 5:30 a.m., a tractor trailer traveling westbound on I-70 was pulling a wind turbine blade that struck the guardrail causing the blade to go partially into the eastbound lanes," a statement said. "The blade was then clipped by a tractor trailer traveling eastbound."

Suspected shooter in Idaho firefighter ambush identified

The alleged sniper who killed two firefighters and wounded a third in an ambush-styled attack in Idaho has been identified as Wess Roley. The Associated Press reported, citing a law enforcement official, that Roley deliberately set a brush fire on Canfield Mountain, near Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, on Sunday, June 29 to lure first responders into a deadly trap. Law enforcement officers responded to an ambush that killed two Idaho firefighters on Sunday, June 29, 2025. (KHQ) The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office said fire crews responded to a blaze at Canfield Mountain just north of Coeur d'Alene around 1:30 p.m. Gunshots were reported about a half-hour later.

Canada caves: Scraps tax on US tech firms after Trump suspends talks

Canada's government announced late Sunday that it would scrap its digital services tax on U.S. technology companies, paving the way for the resumption of trade talks that President Trump suspended late last week. Canada's government had planned to begin collecting the tax on Monday but said Sunday it no longer would do so "in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade agreement with the United States," according to Canada's Department of Finance. Officials said Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump agreed to resume negotiations, aiming to strike a deal by July 21.

Unidentified fiery object falling from the sky recorded in Massachusetts

This week, many strange things have been reported in the skies throughout the United States, and the trend continues. A woman in Massachusetts recorded an unidentified object falling from the sky near her home. Pembroke, Massachusetts, resident Colleen McCormack told Boston 25 News that on Wednesday night, as she was sitting in her hot tub, she noticed an object falling from the sky. McCormack quickly took out her phone and was able to record the object. She stated, "It looked like it was on fire or something and it was just coming down really fast."

Researcher suggests Biden's autopen signatures may not be his but are likely Jill's

This would mean all autopen-signed documents are forgeries A Missouri pharmacist suspects the Biden autopen signature is bigger than already reported. On February 20, 2021 a Missouri pharmacist reached out to The Gateway Pundit and shared his observations on Biden's signature to date. (This was only a few weeks after Biden stepped into the White House and no doubt one of the first observations on Joe Biden's signature on official documents.) This pharmacist noted: I am a pharmacist in Missouri. I read a few days ago that none of Biden's Executive Orders have been posted to the Federal Register, so I looked, then, a few days ago. Those Executive Orders are showing up. However, I believe I have accidentally discovered his signature may be a forgery. I just sat on this discovery, thinking someone else more important would notice it. I guess no one has yet. Part of my job as a pharmacist is to watch for forged doctor signatures and I am pretty sure Joe's are forged. I suspect that he...

Gunman starts wildfire, ambushes and murders firefighters in Idaho

A man armed with a rifle started a wildfire Sunday and then began shooting at first responders in a northern Idaho mountain community, killing two firefighters and wounding a third during a barrage of gunfire over several hours, authorities said. A shelter-in-place order was lifted Sunday night after a tactical response team used cell phone data to "hone in" on a wooded area where they found the suspect's body with a firearm nearby as flames rapidly approached, Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris said. Officials did not release his name, nor did they say what kind of gun was found. "We do believe that the suspect started the fire, and we do believe that it was an ambush and it was intentional," Norris said at a Sunday night news conference. "These firefighters did not have a chance."

It's hot weather, but not man-made

This week the United States experienced the first major heat wave of 2025. Over 160 million people in the Midwest, the South, and the East Coast experienced temperatures approaching 100oF. Many in the media claim that the soaring temperatures are due to human-caused global warming. But a look at history shows that such high temperatures have been experienced many times in the past. Extreme heat warnings were issued in Baltimore, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. The Washington Monument was closed due to the heat. Dozens of daily high temperature records were broken. Heat indexes, which combine temperatures and the effects of humidity, exceeded 100 in Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and other locations. Many media outlets reported that humans are responsible for the current hot weather. CNN reported that "heat waves are getting more dangerous with climate change" and that the current heat wave "bears the hallmarks of human-caused global warming." NPR...

Palantir's Shadow War On Iran

As the dust settles on the "12 Day War", it is ever-clearer that the conflict was a crushing defeat for Israel and the US. In retrospect, the Zionist entity's sole success was a wave of assassinations in the conflict's first hours. A fawning June 19th Financial Times report hinted cutting-edge technology drawing together diverse data and intelligence sources was responsible. This raises the obvious question of whether Tel Aviv was assisted in its murderous spree by notorious private spying giant Palantir. An avowedly pro-Israel tech giant founded by Donald Trump confidante and ardent Zionist Peter Thiel, which reportedly provides artificial intelligence tech supporting Tel Aviv's genocide in Gaza, Palantir's tendrils extend typically unseen into almost every conceivable sphere of public and private life across the West. Moreover, the firm - launched with seed funding from CIA venture capital wing In-Q-Tel - has long-played a pivotal but barely acknowledged role in the International...

Scientists complete the most thorough analysis yet of India's genetic diversity

A comparison of more than 2,700 complete genomes from South Asians uncovers a wealth of ancient and recent diversity and genetic links to disease. With around 5,000 different ethno-linguistic and religious groups, India is one of the most culturally and genetically diverse countries in the world. Yet, it remains underrepresented in genomic surveys, even when compared to other non-European groups, such as East Asians and Africans. A new analysis of Indian genomes — the largest and most complete to date — helps untangle these groups' complex evolutionary history, uncovering a 50,000-year history of genetic mixing and population bottlenecks that shaped genetic variation, health and disease in South Asia. The analysis, led by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, India, the University of Southern California (USC) and the University of Michigan, was published today (June 26) in the journal Cell. "These...

NASA's been pulling out of major astronomy meetings — and scientists are feeling the effects

"We are given rules by our own institutions about what we can and cannot say." Something was missing at the American Astronomical Society's 246th meeting this year, a conference sometimes referred to as the "Superbowl of Astronomy." It's a meeting that brings many of the country's most renowned scientists into the same room to share what they've been working on and thinking about lately; as you can imagine, that tends to organically foster brand new ideas for exploring the universe. Being at these events, you can almost feel study blueprints sprouting up all around you in real-time. It's electric. But this summer, NASA wasn't there. And in fact, the National Science Foundation cancelled its planned talk at the meeting, too. Both institutions are household names in the astronomy community, and for good reason. They keep some of the field's most vital instruments running — things like the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the trusty Hubble Space Telescope, the massive...

Joining forces: Time for Jews to unite in the struggle against Zionism, apartheid and genocide

The First Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress will take place from June 13 to 15 in Vienna, Austria, with the aim of amplifying Jewish voices against Zionism and assisting the global movement for justice and liberation in Palestine. Anti-Zionism is as old as political Zionism. Both movements were born in the same year, 1896. One was a small movement, started by a Viennese journalist, Theodor Herzl, while the other was a mass movement of Jewish workers in Eastern Europe and Russia - the Socialist Labour Bund. While the Bund became a large movement in several East European countries - in Poland, for example, it was the second largest party in the Seym, the Polish Parliament - Zionism represented less than 1% of the Jewish population in Europe. During the great period of Jewish emigration out of Eastern Europe starting in 1881, millions of Jews immigrated to North and South America, Britain, South Africa, and Australia. During the same period, a few thousand Zionist Jews immigrated to...

Iran's complaint to the United Nations

I am writing to you with utmost urgency and deep alarm regarding a brazen and unlawful act of aggression perpetrated by the Israeli regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran. In a reckless and deliberate escalation that flagrantly violates the Charter of the United Nations and the most fundamental norms of international law, Israel has launched a coordinated series of military assaults targeting several Iranian cities and peaceful nuclear facilities, senior military officials, scientists and civilians. Among the targets was the Natanz nuclear facility, one of Iran's principal nuclear sites, which operates under the full safeguards and monitoring of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This reckless attack has not only endangered Iranian civilian lives, but also posed an alarming threat to regional and international peace and security by risking a radiological disaster. Any deliberate military targeting of nuclear facilities under international safeguards constitutes a...

Global cocaine production hits all-time high - UN

Around 25 million people were using the drug worldwide in 2023, up from 17 million in 2013, a new report says. Global cocaine production surged to a new record in 2023, accompanied by soaring seizures, growing user numbers, and rising deaths, the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has said. On Thursday, the UNODC released its annual report, warning that a "new era of global instability" is empowering organized crime and driving drug use to unprecedented levels. The report found that cocaine has become the fastest-growing illicit drug market worldwide. Illegal production skyrocketed to an estimated 3,708 tons in 2023 - up nearly 34% from 2022 - driven largely by expanded coca cultivation and higher yields in Colombia. Use of the drug climbed to an estimated 25 million people in 2023, up from 17 million in 2013. The highest consumption continues to be in North America, Western and Central Europe, and South America, with wastewater data showing sharp rises in European cities.

The Angel of History as a symbol of Resistance

It's one of the most mesmerizing passages in the history of knowledge. In the 9th of his Theses on the Philosophy of History, Walter Benjamin - Jewish, tragic figure, solitary genius - dissects Paul Klee's haunting painting Angelus Novus and graphically explains to posterity the drama facing the Angel of History: "His face is turned toward the past. Where we perceive a chain of events: he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing in from Paradise; it has got caught in its wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. The storm propels him into a future to which his back is turned - whilst the pile of debris before him goes even higher. This storm is what has been called progress." The time has come to go beyond what may be read as a very apocalyptic Christian parallel between divinity and violent...

Meet the dystopian startups making 'biological computers' from human cells

Picture a dystopian future where computers don't just mimic human thinking - they're powered by actual human brain cells. That future is taking shape in a Cambridge, England, lab, where a groundbreaking device called CL1 is blending biology and technology in ways that could transform how we compute. Developed by Australian startup Cortical Labs and U.K.-based bit.bio, this shoebox-sized machine houses 200,000 lab-grown brain cells wired to silicon circuits, creating a "biological computer" that's already turning heads. Unlike traditional computers, which guzzle energy, CL1 operates with the efficiency of a human brain. "Our brains process information using a fraction of the power that modern electronics need," Hon Weng Chong, CEO of Cortical Labs, told FT. "This could open doors to smarter robots, stronger cybersecurity, and immersive virtual worlds." Oh, joy.

Hawaii: Lava geysers reach heights up to about 1,100 feet before Episode 27 of Kīlauea summit eruption ends

Episode 27 of the ongoing episodic summit eruption of Kīlauea volcano on the Big Island within Halemaʻumaʻu Crater ended abruptly just before 8 p.m. Sunday (June 29) after nearly 11 hours of continuous, sustained and vigorous lava fountaining. Hawaiian Volcano Observatory reported at 8:20 p.m. in a Volcanic Activity Notice that waning lava geysers from the north vent in the southwest portion of the crater stopped completely at 7:54 p.m., several hours after reaching maximum heights up to about 1,116 feet. Flames were visible at the south vent for a few minutes afterwad. High fountains produced about 1.6 billion gallons of lava, covering 80% of the crater floor.

Toddler dies after attack by 5 dogs in South Africa

A three-year-old girl has died after she was attacked by a pack of dogs at the Marathon informal settlement in Ekurhuleni. On Friday, the toddler was walking alone through a narrow passage in the settlement when five dogs attacked her. "Despite any efforts to assist her, the child sadly succumbed to her injuries later the same day," said Ward 93 councillor Geoffrey Mthembu. "I visited both the bereaved family and the scene of the incident earlier today (Sunday) to offer my condolences and assess the situation firsthand. It is important to note that this marks the third reported incident involving the same group of dogs in this area. "The two previous incidents involved other children, who fortunately survived, though with trauma. The dogs have been repeatedly described by the community as highly aggressive and dangerous."
