A Utah judge on Monday denied two major defense motions in the capital murder case against Tyler Robinson. Judge Tony Graf also delayed a highly anticipated decision on whether prosecutors should face sanctions over their public comments about the evidence. )snip)During Monday’s hearing, Judge Graf ruled that prosecutors may rely on certain hearsay evidence at Robinson’s upcoming preliminary hearing, and rejected the defense’s effort to subpoena an out-of-state witness to testify in person. He also announced he needs additional time to decide whether prosecutors violated a court “gag” order over pretrial publicity,

I previously saw an interesting discussion with NVIDEA Jensen Haung where in the context of AI he was asked: who is the smartest person you ever met?Jensen Haung paused for quite a few moments thinking about the question before he answered. Haung then redefined the word “smart.” ‘Smart’ is a word we have historically used in reference to ‘intelligence’. If a person was intelligent, we say that person is smart. (snip)This interview about the ramifications of cultural change in Europe was given in 2010, sixteen years ago, centered on a book written by Mark Steyn and the context within the questioning is looking forward over a period of about 20 years.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, all of it related to the Travyon Martin case. You will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy Carvalho was. {SEARCH TOOL}Carvalho organized a system within Miami-Dade, where black male students could avoid criminal charges, including felony cases, and have their behavior instead handled with school discipline.The approach was part of the Obama inspired “My Brother’s Keeper” concept. Miami-Dade School Police (MDSPD) were instructed not to arrest black male students and instead refer their conduct to school administration. Trayvon Martin was one of the beneficiaries.

A divided Pennsylvania Supreme Court, including two Democrat justices, ordered Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner’s office to face new outside scrutiny over its post-conviction concessions after the state’s high court found the office’s handling of one convicted murderer’s case was unreliable and said similar problems extended beyond just that single case. Justice Kevin Dougherty, a Democrat, wrote the 4-3 opinion in the case of Levar Brown, a Philadelphia man whose murder convictions became the centerpiece of a broader legal fight over Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit and the office’s willingness to concede relief in serious criminal cases. Dougherty was joined by Justice Daniel McCaffery, another Democrat judge on the state's Supreme Court,

Back in 2024, all of us watched in horror as Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key was crushed and collapsed in a heap of twisted, mangled metal.A massive container ship lost power and drifted straight into one of the bridge’s support columns and brought the entire thing down in seconds. But the most horrific part is that six construction workers were killed. The Port of Baltimore was shut down for weeks, and the economic disaster was in the billions. (snip) the collapse was described as just some “catastrophic accident.” (snip)the ship was operating with a well-known hazardous fuel system that didn’t have a backup safeguard. And the chief engineer, an Indian national

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—Connor Schutza broke the surface of the pool, breathing hard, his muscles burning after another deep-end drill designed to test more than physical endurance. Each descent had a purpose for the 22-year-old Scottsdale resident. He wasn’t training for a race or fitness competition. He was preparing for a shot at the Air Force’s elite special warfare community—one of the military’s most demanding career fields. The path requires more than strength. It demands composure under pressure, the ability to push through exhaustion, and the discipline to silence the urge to quit.

After announcing that his family is under federal investigation, reportedly related to taxes and business income, a spokesperson for California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday that the office was "working to prepare" tax returns for tax years 2021 through 2025 "for transparency," adding that, "unlike Donald Trump, the Governor has nothing to hide."Upon his election as governor in 2018 Newsom promised to release his full tax returns each year, but has not held to that promise;

Keir Starmer's premiership appears to have entered its final act. Just over a week after Andy Burnham stormed back into Parliament with a crushing by-election win, the Prime Minister is - according to senior Labour figures cited by The Observer - preparing to set out a timetable for his own departure, with a "clear statement" possible as early as Monday.It would be a remarkable collapse. Starmer led Labour to a landslide less than two years ago

Sen. Ruben Gallego repeatedly used campaign cash to fund luxury outings with his wife and to care for his children since launching his campaign for Senate in 2023, according to a POLITICO review of campaign finance records and a person familiar with the senator’s spending. The Arizona Democrat has used his leadership PAC to fund recent trips to Miami, Chicago, Disneyland and Disney World with his family. Gallego has tapped that PAC and his main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in reimbursements for child care since 2019 — including $400 to his wife’s mother for babysitting.

WASHINGTON — Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz was flowing Friday — under Iran’s monitoring — after a radio message to vessels in the region suggested the waterway had been closed over tensions with Israel and the US. “The armed forces of Iran, in accordance with the memorandum of understanding [MOU] to end the war dated June 18, 2026, have taken the necessary measures to ensure the safe passage of commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, and shipping in this route is currently underway,” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Friday, according to Iran’s Fars News Agency. Earlier, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) statement read over maritime radio

President Trump made two promises to the American people. He promised that Iran would never get nuclear weapons. And he promised he wouldn’t drag America into another endless Middle East war.Trump struck Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, weakened the regime, demonstrated American strength, and then took the exit ramp instead of turning the operation into Iraq 2.0. He never promised regime change, boots on the ground, or that US troops would spend the next decade bleeding in the desert. The mission was to cripple Iran’s nuclear program and leave. Mission accomplished. Of course, not everyone is happy about that…

The Dem Party has many problems, too many to count. But one biggie is their obsession with identity politics. Race, gender, sexuality, and gender-confused status, AKA “transgender,” matter more than competence, judgment, character, or basic common sense. ip).Does the name Stacie Marie Laughton ring a bell? Stacie, whose actual name is Barry, was once a rising star in New Hampshire politics. But that all came crashing down when authorities uncovered that he’s a horrific child predator and abuser. But in the early days of his political career, the New Hampshire community embraced him, mainly because he fit the agenda: a mentally ill man masquerading as a woman. How progressive, right?
