The aborted flight to Davos briefly turned a routine presidential trip into a moment of raw vulnerability. A “minor electrical issue” forced Air Force One back to Joint Base Andrews and pushed President Trump onto a backup jet, underscoring how fragile even the most choreographed diplomacy can be. Yet the real turbulence awaited him on […]

On that Davos stage, Trump turned a policy speech into a geopolitical drama. Greenland became more than frozen rock; it was recast as a test of loyalty, a bargaining chip between allies he claimed no longer showed gratitude. He mocked Europe’s leaders, recalled being called “daddy,” and warned that saying no to Washington would not

An arctic blast is about more than discomfort; it is a full-body assault. As temperatures plunge, blood vessels clamp down, starving fingers, toes, ears and nose, while the heart strains against rising blood pressure. Below 95°F, judgment blurs, coordination fails and shivering turns from a warning into a desperate, last-ditch survival reflex. For the elderly,

In the days since the order was signed, the debate has moved from legal language to human cost. Non-binary people now face a federal system that insists they do not exist as they understand themselves. For some, that means explaining to border agents why their appearance or name no longer matches rigid markers. For others,

Newsom arrived in Davos ready to play prosecutor, casting Trump as a global menace and shaming European leaders for “rolling over.” His profanity-laced rebuke sounded like a warning shot: stop accommodating Trump, or be remembered as collaborators. Yet, as he demanded a tougher line, the room’s power centers quietly signaled they were already moving in

The crisis is no longer theoretical; it’s sitting at kitchen tables, in crowded ERs, in the quiet panic of opening another medical bill you can’t pay. While lawmakers posture over “fiscal responsibility,” families are doing the math on whose appointment gets canceled, whose refill can wait, and what happens if it can’t. Each missed vote,

The crash near Barafu Camp has left a raw wound on Kilimanjaro’s slopes, where triumph and tragedy already live side by side. A Tanzanian guide, a local doctor, a Zimbabwean pilot, and two Czech tourists shared a single purpose that day: to get down alive. Instead, their final moments unfolded in the unforgiving air where

Bush’s reemergence lands like a quiet indictment of the way Washington now does business. He isn’t calling out one party, one bill, or one headline scandal; he’s calling out a culture. A culture that normalizes shutdown threats, stuffs complex provisions into midnight deals, and treats compromise as betrayal instead of the engine of a functioning

What unfolded in Machala was not an isolated burst of chaos but another chapter in a war that has turned Ecuador’s prisons into command centers for organized crime. The reported asphyxiations and hangings hint at calculated executions, not random mayhem, in a system where gangs decide who lives and who dies long before the state

A powerful 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck the Alaskan Peninsula late Wednesday, prompting tsunami warnings and heightened monitoring across the Pacific. The quake, at a depth of 35 km, occurred 91 km east-southeast of Perryville. No immediate damage or casualties were reported. Tsunami sirens were activated in places like Kodiak, as shown in a video obtained
