An aid worker in Beirut described “total chaos” in Lebanon’s capital, with bombs raining down over the city, striking what she described as civilian areas with “no warning.”“These are not targeted attacks,” Dr. Tania Baban, the Lebanon country director for the Chicago-based nonprofit MedGlobal, told NBC News in a voice note, describing dozens of strikes across the city. She said her ears were “still ringing” after a building right by hers was hit.The timing of Israel’s surge affirmed what Israel’s leadership had made clear Tuesday night in public statements and diplomacy: That Israel remains determined to degrade Hezbollah even as…

On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump took to social media and threatened to destroy an entire civilization unless Iran opened the Strait of Hormuz.  “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight.” Trump later on Tuesday pulled back on his threats to wipe out Iranian bridges, power plants, and other civilian…

By Chris Snellgrove | Published 4 seconds ago As a writer who specializes in Star Trek, I spend a fair amount of time delving into the production details of my favorite episodes. I’ll often discover cool, behind-the-scenes trivia that makes me enjoy these stories that much more. Every now and then, though, I’ll discover something shocking. Namely, that my favorite creators really despise what I consider their best work. A perfect example of this is the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Evolution,” which was written by Michael Piller. The episode is so good that it helped him land the…

Reaction to Tiger Woods’ car crash and driving under the influence arrest last month ranged from sadness to dismay to exasperation. Few observers, however, expressed surprise. Although widely recognized as perhaps the greatest golfer of all time, Woods, 50, has been in a downward spiral personally and professionally for years.His struggles with prescription drugs became public in 2017 when police found him asleep at the wheel of his car with the engine running near his Jupiter, Fla., home. Multiple painkillers, sleep aids and THC were detected in his system. Woods checked into rehab shortly after that incident, saying his efforts…

The black SUV carrying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at the White House just before 11am on February 11. The Israeli leader, who had been pressing for months for the United States to agree to a major assault on Iran, was whisked inside with little ceremony, out of view of reporters, primed for one of the most high-stakes moments in his long career.US and Israeli officials gathered first in the Cabinet Room, adjacent to the Oval Office. Then Netanyahu headed downstairs for the main event: a highly classified presentation on Iran for President Donald Trump and his team in the…

If you only got your news from the Democratic Party’s corporate wing, you’d be excused for thinking that not much of consequence was happening in the world. Centrist groups like Third Way and pro-Netanyahu organizations like the Anti-Defamation League don’t seem to be fretting about the escalating war in the Middle East, the Trump regime’s insider trading, or Republicans’ plans for another reconciliation package that would drastically cut health care spending to fund the war (while also suppressing the vote). In their circles, there’s a different catastrophe that the Democratic Party should…

The ability to project military air power rests on physical systems: aircraft, fuel, depots, airfields, maintenance crews, spare parts, and the logistics chains that bind them together. Among these, aerial refueling is foundational. It is the mechanism by which range is extended, persistence is maintained, and operational flexibility is preserved. Without it, the operational reach of the U.S. military contracts sharply. This article examines the deteriorating condition of U.S. aerial refueling capabilities and the strategic implications. The Hidden Backbone of Modern Air Power Modern U.S. military air operations depend on aerial refueling to a high degree. Fighters, bombers, ISR platforms,…

MADISON, Wis. — Democratic-backed candidate Chris Taylor won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Tuesday, growing the liberal majority on the court as cases affecting congressional redistricting, union rights and other hot button issues await in the perennial battleground state. Taylor, who focused her campaign on abortion rights, defeated Republican-backed Maria Lazar in the fourth straight victory for liberal court candidates dating back to 2020. Liberals are now guaranteed to hold a majority on the court until at least 2030. Democrats tightened their control of the court just months before a November election in which they seek to keep…
