Jack Schlossberg, the grandson of former President Kennedy and a candidate for a New York congressional seat, on Sunday criticized the influx of billionaire and tech-industry money in his House race as an attempt to “buy an election.” “Look, I’m running against people who are backed by massive billionaires or massive AI companies, and they're...
During his briefing on the Iran war last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested that Americans take a knee and pray to Jesus for the success of U.S. forces in the Middle East. A few days later, he read out a sermon praying that “wicked souls” be “delivered to the eternal damnation” in the fight...
Iran's firing of two missiles toward the joint U.S.-U.K. base in the Indian Ocean is putting Europe on notice that Tehran appears able to levy attacks previously considered beyond its reach. In the March 20 incident, one intermediate-range ballistic missile fell into the water and the other was shot at. Still, while unsuccessful, it attests...
