- 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 ...

- US And Canada Trade War: New Tariffs, Retaliation, And 'Lake America'
- Runtime

- 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...

- 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."

- Dolly Parton, who rose from humble beginnings to the greatest heights of American music and became one of the country’s most philanthropic, unifying and beloved stars, died Tuesday at her home in Nashville, according to a family statement. She was 80. The statement, attributed to her nephew Bryan Seaver, said Parton died “peacefully.” A small, private service will be held for her close family, the statement added. Parton had been open about various health issues in the last two years, and especially after her husband Carl Dean died in March 2025. “Back when my husband Carl was very sick — that was for a long time — and then when he passed, I didn’t take care of myself,” Parton said in a video to fans earlier this year. “So I let a lot of things go that I should have been taking care of.” An American treasure In a career that spanned over half a century, Parton captured the American experience, penning more than 3,000 songs.

- Description
- The U.S. Secret Service is actively investigating a chilling new video broadcast by Iranian state media that explicitly targets Barron Trump. The nearly three-minute video, aired over the weekend by the Iranian broadcaster IRIB, opens with a disturbing quote regarding "where to kill" the President's youngest son. It features stylized graphics pinpointing locations Barron frequently visits, such as Trump Tower in New York, and concludes with a narrator suggesting people are eagerly waiting to claim a $10 million reward. IRIB is closely associated with hardliners within the Iranian regime, and its head is directly appointed by Iran's supreme leader. While Iranian state media has previously issued threats against President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, this marks a rare and alarming escalation by specifically targeting their youngest child, who has largely been shielded from the public eye. The Secret Service issued a statement confirming they are aware of the video and inv...

- A controversial Trump administration policy is bypassing U.S. court protection orders by deporting asylum seekers to the Central African Republic (CAR)—a country currently engaged in a civil war that carries a strict "Do Not Travel" advisory from the U.S. State Department. Migrants who successfully fought deportation to their home countries due to threats of persecution, torture, or death are now facing these "third-country deportations." Several asylum seekers allege they were handcuffed, shackled, severely beaten, and even forced into full-body restraints during a nearly 20-hour June flight from Louisiana to Bangui. U.S. officials have firmly denied the allegations of abuse, calling them a "flat-out lie." Meanwhile, questions are swirling around a massive spike in U.S. funding to the UN migration agency (IOM) in the CAR. After years of giving just a few million dollars, the U.S. contributed $85 million this year. The State Department acknowledges that foreign assistance is being ...

- A rare and incredibly violent tornado struck the French village of Pomas late Monday afternoon, leaving a devastating trail of destruction in its wake. Forming rapidly in the Aude department around 5:00 p.m. on August 24, the dramatic storm brought dark skies and intense winds that residents compared to the sound of a large truck heading straight for their homes. The village clock is now famously frozen at exactly 5:02 p.m.—the exact moment the peak of the tornado tore through the area. While official field surveys are still pending, experts estimate that wind speeds at the core of the tornado may have reached up to 250 km/h (155 mph). The extreme weather event—a phenomenon rarely seen in France—partially destroyed the village in just a matter of minutes. The first police officers arriving on the scene described the aftermath of shattered homes and massive debris fields as an absolute "apocalypse."

- Description
- Everyday items you use could soon get significantly more expensive. The Trump administration has just slapped a massive 50% tariff on hundreds of Canadian goods, ranging from everyday staples like milk, honey, and winter coats, to Canadian beer, wine, and whiskey. While these import taxes will initially be paid by U.S. businesses, those costs are highly likely to be passed directly onto consumers, compounding the price increases many businesses are already facing due to the ongoing war with Iran. Interestingly, U.S. officials have spared several key imports from the sweeping tariffs. The 50% tax does not apply to oil, electricity, maple syrup, or potash, serving as an implicit acknowledgment that taxing these specific goods would be too costly for American consumers. In response, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has vowed dollar-for-dollar retaliation on goods made in America, targeting U.S. steel, dairy, appliances, and electronics. Because Canada is a leading buyer for many U.S....
