Police in Jackson, Mississippi, arrested a man on Friday in connection with the killing of Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old Black woman found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned home in the area last month.
The September 11, 2001, attacks on New York City and Washington, DC, as the saying goes, “changed everything.” After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the global American empire, created in the 1940s to combat communism, was left without a raison d’être. While foreign policymakers spent the 1990s searching for one, the best they could come up with — use the military power of the United States to stop humanitarian abuses abroad — was quixotic at best, catastrophic at worst. For a time, the empire lost its juice.
Family members and mourners gathered at the site of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history on Friday to commemorate those killed on Sept. 11, 2001, in lower Manhattan and mark the 25th anniversary of the tragedy. As they’ve done each year since 2001, the family members of those slain read aloud the names of the 2,983 people killed at the site on 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
BRUSSELS — Greece will not receive Israel's source code for the command-and-control system underpinning its new €3 billion Achilles Shield air defense network, according to the head of Israel's Missile Defense Organization.
Trump was asking the question again. Not about Iran's nuclear program. Not about the Strait of Hormuz. Not even about how many missiles Iran had left. “How does this look in November?” Nobody in the room needed clarification. The maps on the table showed Iran, the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Red Sea. The TV set was muted. Somewhere on another screen, oil was going up again.
Trump said the American Airlines Center was packed for his Wednesday night speech, despite open areas in the arena’s upper levelBy Joseph Morton,Washington BureauSep 10, 2026|Updated Sep 10, 2026 3:25 p.m.
There was plenty of space Wednesday for President Donald Trump’s opening night remarks at the Republican midterm convention, but he suggested open seats were the result of people visiting the restrooms.
PANIC ABOUT Islam in Europe is spreading. In several European countries half the population now thinks it is incompatible with Western values. On September 6th the populist-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) won 44% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt, its largest state-election tally yet, warning about “Islamisation” and promising forced deportations. The same weekend in Britain hundreds of balaclava-clad thugs occupied Dover, chanting “Stop the boats” and “Christ is King”. In France Marine Le Pen's call to ban Islamic headscarves from public places is backed by 60% of voters.
A Curtin University-led research team has successfully identified the mysterious origin of several 4,000-year-old 25-ton stones, which ancient architects used to construct Britain’s iconic Devil’s Arrows, as Birmingham Rocks in North Yorkshire, over 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the monument’s location.
John Ratcliffe has mired the agency in politics ON SEPTEMBER 18, THE CIA turns 79. Whether it reaches 80 with its integrity intact depends largely on the man who leads it. In an administration of amateurs, talk-show hosts, and relatives, CIA Director John Ratcliffe stands out by not standing out. He does not sound unhinged and has no obvious grift. Next to a former director of national intelligence whose guru scripted her talking points, an FBI director who chugged beer with the U.S. Olympic hockey team, and an acting DNI who used mortgage-fraud referrals against the president’s enemies, the CIA director looks reassuringly normal.
Joe diGenova, the 81-year-old Trump loyalist who had headed a sprawling investigation in the Southern District of Florida that targeted President Donald Trump’s perceived political enemies, has resigned from the Justice Department.
