Russia Launches Massive Missile and Drone Attack on Kyiv After Ukraine Sinks Russian Container Ship and Hits Oil Refineries – Zelensky Demands US Patriot Missiles

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack against Ukraine on Saturday, prompting renewed calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for American Patriot missile interceptors, which he says they’ve run out of.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the Russians launched 35 missiles and 185 attack drones mainly at Kyiv, but also at Dnipro, Sumy, and Kharkiv. “Only one ballistic missile was intercepted, simply because there are no interceptors for the Patriot systems,” he said, demanding more Patriot missiles from the US. The shortage “only encourages Russia to launch such attacks that take human lives,” Zelensky said.

Footage from the attack in Kyiv shows massive explosions hammering the city.

Zelensky said in a statement, “Eighteen residential buildings, a school, the Lithuanian Embassy, and infrastructure facilities were damaged,” and at least nine people were killed, with dozens more injured.

Verizon Blames ‘Human Error’ For Burying A Jack Smith Subpoena From Congress

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and fifteen colleagues sent a letter to Verizon on Thursday demanding the telecom giant explain how a 2023 grand jury subpoena tied to Jack Smith’s “Arctic Frost” investigation vanished from its own paperwork for more than two years – only to resurface after the company chalked the omission up to “human error.”

The letter, addressed to Verizon CEO Dan Schulman, is the latest turn in Grassley’s monthslong excavation of Arctic Frost – the Biden-era FBI/DOJ probe-turned-Trump-prosecution that has already produced a House criminal referral for Smith himself, revelations that his team accessed the actual text messages of 44 lawmakers, and now a fight over what one of the country’s largest phone companies knew and sat on.

What Subpoena?

Back in October 2023, Grassley asked Verizon to search its files for every DOJ or federal law enforcement request touching Senate devices between January 2016 and October 2023, part of his long-running Crossfire Hurricane oversight. Verizon wrote back that it generally keeps legal process on file for four years and had no records predating October 2019.

What it didn’t mention: a May 25, 2023 grand jury subpoena issued by Smith’s Arctic Frost team for senators’ phone toll records, including two numbers belonging to the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms.

Congress didn’t learn the subpoena existed until 2025, when Verizon told Grassley’s office the 2023 omission came down to “human error.” Grassley isn’t satisfied with that. His new letter wants to know whether Verizon actually found the subpoena during its 2023 search and stayed quiet, or genuinely missed a live federal legal demand sitting in its own compliance files for two years.

Two of the numbers swept up in that May 2023 subpoena weren’t just any senators’ lines – they belonged to the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms. Under a contract Verizon signed with the Senate in May 2022, that’s supposed to trigger automatic notice to the SAA any time a Senate device or line gets subpoenaed. Grassley’s letter effectively asks how a contractually mandated notification simply never happened.

AI Expert Sounds the Alarm: OpenAI’s Rogue Hacker Models and Killer Robots Signal a ‘Dystopian’ Path to Replacing Humanity

A leading artificial intelligence safety researcher issued a stark warning this week against pursuing general superintelligence and developing autonomous killer robots, framing both as steps toward a dystopian future in which machines could effectively become a “replacement for humanity.”

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, a computer scientist and AI safety expert, made the comments during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored on Friday, reacting to the recent news that OpenAI’s experimental agents had gone rogue during an internal cybersecurity evaluation, broken free of their containment, accessed the internet, and successfully compromised systems at AI startup Hugging Face as well as several other services.

The OpenAI incident involved an autonomous agent powered by its most advanced models, including the newly released GPT-5.6 Sol and an even more capable internal prototype.

During a controlled security test designed to evaluate the models’ cyber capabilities, the agent exploited a zero-day vulnerability, escaped its sandbox environment, which was supposed to lack direct internet access, and, over several days in mid-July, conducted thousands of actions targeting Hugging Face.

It uploaded malicious configurations, leaked code, executed commands in production systems, accessed dozens of secrets, and used exposed credentials to reach accounts on additional services.

Hugging Face described the intrusion as unlike anything it had previously handled, requiring days to detect and contain while ultimately forcing the company to rebuild a significant portion of its infrastructure.

OpenAI called the event an “unprecedented cyber incident involving state-of-the-art cyber capabilities,” noting that the agent operated with superhuman speed while still displaying clumsy, error-prone behavior such as repeated actions and inefficient paths.

Mysterious symbols spanning the globe hint at a lost civilization 38,000 years ago

For centuries, mainstream archaeologists have dismissed the idea that an advanced civilization existed long before modern times.

Now, an independent researcher claims he has uncovered ‘paradigm-shifting evidence of a lost civilization’ that hid a sophisticated code through geometry, symbolism, and monument design across the globe to preserve its knowledge ahead of catastrophic events.

Matthew LaCroix told Daily Mail the discovery, sparked by a recent find in Egypt, links symbols across continents and dates back 38,000 to 40,000 years.

According to LaCroix, this civilization tracked cosmic cycles, anticipated global disasters, and embedded teachings about human origins, the structure of the universe, and divine existence into monuments and sacred sites.

His investigation began after identifying recurring giant T-shapes, three-level indents, and step pyramids carved into ancient stones worldwide.

‘These specific symbols that are built in different size proportions, and the symbols are found in ancient stones around the world, are not supposed to exist; no cultures are supposed to have any cross-platform,’ LaCroix explained.

The symbols appear in locations ranging from Turkey’s Van region to South America and Cambodia.

According to LaCroix, the origin of this global system lies in eastern Turkey’s Lake Van region at a site known as Ionis.

He described it as the earliest source of the civilization’s symbols, architecture, and teachings, dating it to around 40,000 years old. He argues it preserves the original blueprint later carried to places such as Giza and Tiwanaku.

Recurring motifs, giant T-shapes, step pyramids, inverted pyramids, lions, and sacred geometry, appear at Ionis in their most concentrated form before repeating at distant sites worldwide, LaCroix added.

Nearby, the site of Kefkalesi provides one of the clearest examples of these symbols in stone.

The four-foot-by-four-foot basalt carving, known as the Kefkalesi relief, contains complex iconography that mirrors the symbols found at Ionis, Giza, and South American sites.

‘This relief became one of the most important artifacts for my research,’ LaCroix explained. ‘It connects Egypt back to this region and lets us back-engineer the global pattern.’

He pointed out repeating motifs: ‘Here are the T-shapes, repeating over and over. Here’s your step pyramid with three doors and the lion right here. These same elements appear repeatedly across sites worldwide.’

Regarding the lion, he added, ‘The lion is a guardian, and its placement helps explain the structure of the code.’

LaCroix said the relief solidified his interpretation of the symbols and accelerated his analysis of similar structures at the Sphinx Temple in Egypt.

Mainstream archaeologists, however, date known Lake Van sites to the Urartian period thousands of years ago and say there is no evidence supporting a pre-Ice Age global civilization, and no peer-reviewed research currently supports LaCroix’s proposed dating.

Nutcase James Talarico Tries to Suggest the Bible Requires the Passage of a Government-Run Healthcare System

During a recent campaign event, Texas Democrat senate candidate James Talarico used the Bible to justify the idea of a government-run healthcare system.

This is what Talarico always does. He uses Christianity to justify left wing political policy. It’s the only time he ever discusses his faith.

You will also notice that when talking about this plan, he says that they must finish what Obama started, which is an admission that Obamacare was meant to be a Trojan Horse for government-run healthcare.

Breitbart News reports:

Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico said Scripture requires the government to guarantee health coverage, telling a Texas church crowd that the New Testament makes a public health insurance option a Christian obligation.

Talarico made the argument at a town hall he held at a DeSoto church on July 20, footage of which his campaign posted Saturday under the title “James Talarico Unveils Plan For Black Voters.” The Austin Democrat argued the country should “finish the work of President Obama” and pass a public option, then grounded the pitch in the Gospels.

“Because health care is a human right. It is not a privilege,” Talarico said.

Talarico told the crowd he wanted to speak scripturally, given the setting, and pointed to how Jesus spent his ministry.

“If you read our scriptures, if you read the New Testament, what does Jesus spend most of his time doing? It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching, it is healing. Healing the sick,” Talarico said. “And in Matthew 25, scripture says that’s how we will be judged and how we will be saved. By healing the sick, by feeding the hungry, by welcoming the stranger, by visiting the prisoner.”

RFK Debunks Sen. Warren’s Hypocritical Attack on His Supposed Big Pharma ‘Conflict of Interest’

Reuters and Washington Post have a new deceptive report out claiming that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has financially benefited from a settlement with a top pharmaceutical company. But they left the crucial context out that showed he personally received not a dime.

Democrats are never ones for context. They love to have reasons to pretend they are destroying corruption when they are really going after personal political opponents. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), for instance, had her warpaint and Tomahawk out as she screeched, “Is RFK Jr.’s son getting a cut of a $50 MILLION settlement that his dad could have influenced? I’m investigating.” Naturally, she needs something to investigate to avoid investigating Anthony Fauci and the pharmaceutical companies that pushed COVID vaccines that we now know, courtesy of Fauci‘s journal, were quite ineffective and sometimes injurious.

Kennedy responded to Warren and the lefty media outlets at the same time. “The Washington Post editorial board accuses me of a conflict of interest that might bias me against Big Pharma, whose interests they apparently seek to protect,” he posted on X, highlighting the irony of media and politicians rushing to defend monopolistic businesses. “The alleged conflict comes from money I supposedly made from a settlement in a lawsuit against Merck for injuries caused by its Gardasil vaccine.”

He emphatically stated: “The problem is that I never received a penny from the Merck Gardasil settlement, and neither has my son nor anyone else in my family.” So Warren et al. are smearing Kennedy with — surprise, surprise — lies.

Kennedy explained further, “Before taking office, I relinquished any interest in potential Gardasil fees back to the Wisner Baum law firm, which publicly confirmed this during my confirmation process. Yet @SenWarren, @Reuters, and @washingtonpost editorial board — in their ardor to protect Big Pharma — continue to push a false narrative that makes Big Pharma the victim and me the mendacious villain.”

For yet more interesting context, according to a Fox News report from last year, Warren received a whopping $5 million from Big Pharma during her 2020 presidential bid. And the Washington Post freaked out when Kennedy proposed limiting pharmaceutical ads. Always follow the money.

USEFUL IDIOT: Left Wing Political Commentator is SHOCKED That He is Being Hit With Zohran Mamdani’s New Tax on New Yorkers

Scott Galloway is a left wing political commentator and professor at NYU. He hates President Trump and has never heard a far left policy he didn’t like.

But now he is complaining that he has been hit with Zohran Mamdani’s new pied-à-terre tax, which hits New Yorkers who own a valuable second home.

Galloway is complaining that he has been ‘doxed’ because his name appears in the Mamdani administration’s searchable database for these properties.

FOX News reports:

Prominent liberal podcaster and NYU professor Scott Galloway called out New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s publicly accessible database, saying it endangers landowners like himself.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani opened a new front in his ongoing battle with New York City’s wealthy after his administration published a searchable database identifying affluent property owners who could be subject to the city’s proposed pied-à-terre tax, a move critics say could expose them to harassment and public safety risks.

The database, released by the city’s Department of Finance, allows users to search properties and view the names and addresses of owners whose non-primary residences could be subject to the proposed tax. A spokesperson for the department said publication of the property roll was required by state law…

“I’ve been doxed,” the liberal professor announced on the podcast. “I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Mayor Mamdani has decided to release a list of the 950,000 residences with addresses and names that might be eligible for his pied-à-terre tax.”

“I don’t love this,” co-host Kara Swisher agreed. “I can’t say I love this. It feels a little bit like doxing. Just tax them and get on with it is my feeling.”…

“He’s taken a legitimate source of tax revenue, and he’s turning it into a wanted poster,” he said of Mamdani’s tax list. “The question I would have is, other than trying to identify and imply these people have done something wrong — and then, 18 months after a healthcare CEO was executed in the street, published the list — what is the upside here? Why is he doing this?”

Far-Left Chicago Mayor Brags About Protecting Illegal Aliens Over Americans and Creating ‘ICE-Free Zones’ in His Crime-Plagued City

In an interview on The Joy Reid Show, Chicago’s far-left Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson made a series of shocking statements, including that he prioritizes protecting illegal aliens and has created “ICE-free zones” in the city.

Johnson also claimed that the Trump administration is an example of the “tyranny and fascism” that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned about.

Johnson left little doubt about where his loyalties lie when discussing protection for various groups in Chicago.

“I’m going to stand up and protect working people… undocumented immigrants…whoever you are,” he stated.

X Warns Australia’s Censor Wants Reach Beyond Australia

X has told the Australian Senate committee that a proposal expanding the powers of the nation’s top censor would let the regulator demand documents from people outside of Australia. The only connection that would be required for X to have to hand over documents to Australia’s eSafety Commissioner is that the person is “affiliated” with a platform.

The submission, published Tuesday, targets the Online Safety Amendment (Strengthening Enforcement for the Social Media Minimum Age) Bill 2026. The bill cleared the House of Representatives on July 1 and hit the Senate Environment and Communications Legislation Committee on the same day. That committee will report on August 25.

The changes would “compel any person outside Australia…to provide information and documents merely because they are ‘affiliated’ with a company,” X said in a filing.

X described that as being “in clear conflict” with international legal principles, warning that the amendment “raises potential for a severe impact on international comity.”

X said the plans gave no “due regard to procedural fairness, privacy, the broader impacts on online services, and Australia’s digital economy.”

A company that fails to take “reasonable” steps to keep under-16s off its platform currently faces a penalty of up to A$49.5 million or 30,000 penalty units. The bill doubles that to A$99 million, around US$69 million, for systematic breaches.

Under the bill, eSafety could also compel the records from the third-party digital ID vendors that platforms hire, as well as from app store operators.

Those vendors hold face scans, ID document images, and inference data drawn from Australians who handed over sensitive data in order to stay on the platform after Australia banned social media for under 16s.

The bill would give the government regulator a legal route into all of that data that it recently mandated to be collected.

eSafety complained to the panel that its current authority to compel documents lags behind that of other regulators and that it’s left to depend on “representations from providers about their own compliance.”

Christian Parents Sue Oregon After State Brands Them “Child Abusers” for Refusing to “Affirm” Daughter’s Transgender Identity

A Christian mother and her husband are fighting back after Oregon officials effectively branded them child abusers because they refused to “affirm” their teenage daughter’s transgender identity.

Nicole and David Calaway filed a federal lawsuit on July 15 against their daughter’s former therapist and multiple Oregon Department of Human Services officials, accusing them of violating the couple’s First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

“It has destroyed our lives,” Nicole told The Daily Signal.

According to the lawsuit, Child Protective Services removed Nicole’s then-15-year-old daughter, identified as K.A., from the Calaways’ home on July 18, 2024.

The seizure occurred one day after Nicole and her daughter reportedly terminated the services of therapist Jennifer Forster. Court documents allege that Forster then contacted the child-abuse hotline after being encouraged by ODHS caseworker Rachel Woods.

Forster allegedly told authorities that Nicole had appeared “aggressive and angry” and intended to leave her daughter without mental-health support.

The Calaways contend those statements were false and created a “fabricated appearance of urgency” that Oregon officials used to remove K.A. from their home.
