- President Donald Trump signed an executive order at the White House on Thursday officially renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Declaring the name change of the Great Lake "effective immediately," the action comes amid escalating trade tensions and renewed bad blood between the United States and Canada. During the signing, the President took direct aim at America's northern neighbor, stating that Canadian officials have treated the U.S. "very badly." The newly dubbed Lake America is bordered by New York state to the south and east, and Canada's Ontario province to the north and west. In response to the executive action, Canadian officials previously stated they intend to completely ignore Trump's attempt to unilaterally rename the shared international body of water.

- Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently sat down with CNN's Anderson Cooper for his first television appearance since giving a closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee regarding his connections to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. During the interview, Gates firmly denied having a social relationship with the convicted sex offender, stating he did not meet any women through him. Gates explained that he held a "misguided view" that Epstein could help facilitate raising philanthropic funds for global health initiatives, a decision he now calls a "gigantic mistake". Cooper also pressed Gates on unverified allegations from draft emails written by Epstein in 2013 that suggested an attempt at blackmail. Gates clarified that he was unaware of any blackmail plans at the time and that Epstein never successfully blackmailed him, adding that the situation only highlighted how foolish he was to spend time with the disgraced financier.

- Security camera footage released by police in northern England shows a man's clumsy and repeated attempts to throw a highly illegal package over a tall prison wall. The bizarre CCTV video captures 30-year-old Joshua Smith struggling multiple times before finally managing to launch the parcel over the fence. Unfortunately for Smith, the effort was entirely in vain. Humberside Police report that authorities intercepted the package almost immediately after it landed on the other side. Inside, guards discovered a mobile phone and an estimated $16,000 worth of drugs that never reached their intended destination. Following the failed smuggling attempt, which originally took place in July of last year, Smith pleaded guilty to related charges. This week, a judge sentenced him to more than three years in prison for his actions.

- Meta has agreed to a historic $18 billion settlement to resolve a landmark 2023 lawsuit brought by 29 states, which claimed the company designed Facebook and Instagram to be addictive and harmful to the mental health of young users. While Meta did not admit wrongdoing, the tech giant agreed to implement sweeping new safety measures pending judicial approval. These changes for users under 18 include a two-hour daily time limit, a "night mode" blocking app usage between midnight and 6 a.m., a "school mode" that mutes notifications during class hours, the disabling of extreme cosmetic surgery filters, and strengthened parental controls. Under the agreement, Meta will pay 70% of the settlement to the states over the next decade. The remaining 30% will only be paid if major competitors like YouTube and TikTok agree to make similar payments and implement matching safety features.

- It sounds like a scene from a horror movie, but for Dr. Krista Edelman, it was a terrifying reality. In a chilling new PSA, Dr. Edelman describes waking up in the middle of the night to the feeling of coarse hair on her lips—only to realize a live bat was actively pushing against her teeth, trying to burrow into her mouth. Knowing exactly how dangerous the situation could be, she remained calm and avoided killing the animal. Instead, she and her husband successfully trapped the bat alive inside a beach bucket so it could be properly tested for rabies. Because bat teeth are incredibly small and bites often go unnoticed, Dr. Edelman immediately went to the emergency room to receive the rabies vaccine and immunoglobulin. While the bat ultimately tested negative for the fatal virus, she is sharing her harrowing experience as a warning to others. She strongly advises homeowners, especially those in older houses, to have exterminators check their attics and chimneys for bat infestations ...

- Description
- President Trump has suggested renaming Lake Ontario to "Lake America" as a new jab against Canada amid a rapidly escalating trade war. Following the collapse of recent trade talks, the Trump administration announced plans to impose massive 50% tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel, starting January 1st. In response, Canada is not backing down. Starting September 8th, the Canadian government has vowed to hit back by matching U.S. tariffs dollar-for-dollar on over 700 American goods, ranging from steel to dairy. This retaliation follows the U.S. placing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods last week, after Trump publicly labeled Canada "unreasonable and entitled." While the President cannot unilaterally rename an international body of water like Lake Ontario, he can issue an executive order directing U.S. federal agencies to use the name "Lake America"—a tactic previously used when he mandated federal agencies refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf o...

- In 2024, Russian immigrant and U.S. defense contractor Ilya Belouzarov was shot and killed by the FBI in a hotel parking lot. Shootings involving the FBI are incredibly rare, sparking a massive investigation into why a man with a U.S. government security clearance was gunned down hundreds of miles from his home while trying to flee to the border. Belouzarov, who worked for the satellite-imaging company Maxar on a Department of Defense contract, had recently spiraled in the final weeks of his life. He was fired, drained his bank accounts, signed over power of attorney to his teenage son, and vanished. While his son claims Belouzarov was strictly pro-Ukraine and anti-Putin—even sending care packages to Ukrainian troops—a year-long investigation revealed a shocking twist: the FBI had been actively investigating him for espionage. Belouzarov believed he was passing sensitive U.S. information to Ukrainian operatives. However, in a tragic "double blind" espionage plot, those operatives...

Originally reported missing, her body was found a day later in a wooded area near Leinenkugel's Brewery by a walking trail along Duncan Creek. Carson Peters-Berger, her cousin and 14-years-old at the time, was arrested and accused of killing her. Peters-Berger was charged in 2024 with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree sexual assault, and first-degree sexual assault of a child under the age of 13 resulting in great bodily harm. Wednesday in court, Peters-Berger pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide, as per an agreement. The other two counts were dismissed but read in for his sentencing.

- A concerning new study has confirmed chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in at least one in four former NFL players who died over a recent five-year period. Researchers identified 878 former players who passed away between 2016 and 2021; of the 235 who donated their brains for scientific research, a staggering 215 were diagnosed with the degenerative brain disease. Lead authors of the study emphasize that CTE is caused by the cumulative effects of repeated head impacts spanning a player's youth, high school, collegiate, and professional careers, noting that nearly 70% of those head impacts actually occur during practice. While the NFL reported a 17% drop in concussions in 2024—reaching an historic low thanks to improved protocols, fewer contact practices, and better helmets—a league spokesperson acknowledged the severity of the findings, stating that while the game is safer today, "safer doesn't mean safe."
