Jacob Butler, 23, online bekannt als "Dort", wurde in Ottawa verhaftet. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, das DDoS-for-Hire-Botnet KimWolf mit über einer Million kompromittierten Geräten betrieben zu haben. Angriffe bis 30 Terabit/s dokumentiert, darunter auf das US Department of Defense Information Network. Brian Krebs hatte ihn im Februar öffentlich identifiziert, woraufhin Butler ihn mit DDoS, Doxing und Swatting anging. Ich nutze das als Aufhänger für eine Diskussion mit Max über IoT-Botnet-Verantwortung und wo die Grenze zwischen Provider-Pflicht und Konsumentenverantwortung liegt.Dann der Portraitbox-Breach – von dem ich selbst betroffen war. Angreifer erlangten am 16./17. Mai Zugriff auf den Paderborner Fotodienstleister, luden Daten herunter und löschten sie. Betroffen: Fotos, Namen, E-Mail-Adressen, Bestellhistorien – darunter massenhaft Kita- und Schulfotos von Kindern. Zahlungsdaten nicht betroffen. Die Benachrichtigungspflicht liegt strukturell bei den Fotografen. Die ZAC NRW ermittelt.GitHub hat einen Breach gemeldet: Ein Mitarbeiter installierte eine kompromittierte Version der NX-Konsole VS Code Extension – Teil der TeamPCP-Kampagne, über die wir in den letzten Wochen mehrfach berichtet haben. Betroffen: rund 3.800 interne GitHub-Repositories. Keine Kunden-Repos kompromittiert, aber wer Zugriff auf interne Engineering-Repos hat, hat deutlich mehr als nur Code. Das führt Max und mich zu einer längeren Debatte über Anbieterkonzentration: Es ist nicht gesund, Produktivität, Entwicklung und Security beim gleichen Anbieter zu konsolidieren – und das sage ich mit vollem Bewusstsein meiner eigenen Befangenheit.Zum Abschluss: CISA hat eine externe Nominierungsmöglichkeit für den KEV-Katalog eingeführt. Meine These: Das "Known Exploited"-Flag wird für Patch-Priorisierung zunehmend irrelevant – wenn die Zeit von Vulnerability zu Exploit bei unter 30 Minuten liegt, muss man ohnehin von sofortiger Ausnutzung ausgehen.KimWolf-Botnet-Festnahme (KrebsOnSecurity)https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/05/alleged-kimwolf-botmaster-dort-arrested-charged-in-u-s-and-canada/KimWolf-Botnet-Festnahme (DOJ)https://www.justice.gov/usao-ak/pr/canadian-man-arrested-international-authorities-charged-administrating-kimwolf-ddosPortraitbox-Breach (heise online)https://www.heise.de/news/Sicherheitsvorfall-bei-Fotoanbieter-Wird-Portraitbox-erpresst-11304453.htmlGitHub Breach / NX-Konsole Supply Chain (TeamPCP)https://github.blog/security/supply-chain-security/security-incident-nx-console-extension/CISA KEV Nomination Processhttps://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss former First Lady Jill Biden lying to us yet again about Joe Biden's condition in 2024, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass facing allegations of flouting election laws, and Virginia Democrats postponing their congressional campaigns.First, Jim and Greg hammer Jill Biden after her CBS News interview in which she claimed she thought President Joe Biden was having a stroke during his 2024 debate against President Trump. She also insisted she had never seen Biden in that condition before or after that night. Jim and Greg call out her lies as Mrs. Biden pushes her new book.Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.Then, they react to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass holding a campaign event next to a ballot drop box while supporters submitted ballots during the event. Challenger Spencer Pratt has filed a complaint alleging Bass violated election laws. Jim and Greg explain why ballot drop boxes are a horrible idea and how candidates just don't seem to care if they are breaking election laws.Finally, they have fun noting several Virginia Democrats are quietly ending their congressional campaigns now that this year's elections will be held under the existing congressional map and not the egregiously gerrymandered map struck down earlier this month by the Virginia Supreme Court.Please visit our great sponsors:Fast Growing TreesBetter plants, better growing, and an extra 20% off with code MARTINI at https://FastGrowingTrees.com/Martini for a limited time; terms and conditions may apply.New episodes every weekday. 

Join Jim and Greg for the Friday 3 Martini Lunch as they react to Sen. Susan Collins clashing with Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner over the Iraq War, the attempted swatting of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham claiming Democrats don't need men's votes to win elections, and the unraveling of the Freedom 250 concert series on the National Mall.First, Jim and Greg break down the comments of Sen. Susan Collins and Democrat challenger Graham Platner after Platner accused Collins of voting to send him to die in Iraq. They applaud Collins for clearly correcting the record and welcome a Wall Street Journal column from the Purple Heart recipient whom Platner said he wished had died during the war.Next, they condemn the latest threat targeting a U.S. Supreme Court justice after Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of an attempted swatting - sending police to a home under false pretenses. Thankfully, police quickly recognized the hoax before it escalated. Jim and Greg also reflect on how political violence and intimidation have continued to worsen since the attempted assassination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh four years ago.Then, they react to comments from New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, who told Democrats that if enough Democrat women vote, they won't need support from men to win elections. Jim and Greg consider what Lujan Grisham is really saying here and the massive media double standard that comes with it.Finally, they cringe as the majority of artists withdraw from an already lackluster lineup of Freedom 250 concerts on the National Mall starting next month. Jim and Greg have some fun discussing some of the names that were on the schedule but note how this news is also a reflection of how divisive our nation is right now.Please visit out great sponsors:OneSkinFor a limited time, try OneSkin with 15% off using code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.

Pags jokes that he is officially NOT running for president in 2028 — and uses the moment to call out politicians constantly making headlines by announcing campaigns they aren't even in. Then, another swatting incident hits a Supreme Court justice's home, and Pags opens up about his own family being targeted during the wave of swattings against conservatives last year. Plus, the DOJ opens a criminal probe tied to testimony in the E. Jean Carroll case involving President Trump. Then, famed attorney Alan Dershowitz joins for Part 1 of a massive conversation on the Epstein files, Ghislaine Maxwell, why Trump alerted authorities about Epstein years ago, CNN's treatment of Dershowitz, and whether a third Trump term is even constitutionally possible.

Is AI about to trigger a cybersecurity vulnerability explosion? In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, David Shipley examines what some researchers are calling the early signs of a "vulnerability apocalypse" as Anthropic's Claude-powered Project Glasswing identifies thousands of potential software flaws at machine speed. The episode breaks down the real numbers behind the hype: over 10,000 candidate vulnerabilities flagged, 1,726 confirmed high or critical findings, 97 patched issues, and the growing concern that AI-driven bug hunting could overwhelm already stretched security teams. One example: a critical WolfSSL certificate forgery vulnerability (CVE-2026-5194, CVSS 9.1). Also in this episode: Canadian authorities arrest Ottawa suspect Jacob Butler, also known as "Dort," allegedly linked to the Kim Wolf botnet operation blamed for nearly 30 terabits-per-second distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and more than 25,000 incidents. We also cover active exploitation of a Ghost CMS SQL injection vulnerability (CVE-2026-26980), with attackers reportedly compromising hundreds of websites using ClickFix malware lures, including high-profile targets. And finally, an Iran-linked cyber espionage campaign dubbed "Screening Serpents" uses highly personalised fake recruitment approaches to target aerospace, defence, and telecom professionals with new remote access malware. If you work in cybersecurity, infrastructure, or IT leadership, this is one to watch. 00:00 Vunpocalypse Headlines 00:28 AI Finds Vulnerabilities 01:32 False Positives and Costs 02:39 WolfSSL Critical CVE 03:51 Patch Volume Pressure 04:28 Kim Wolf Botnet Arrest 05:13 Botnet Scale and Swatting 06:48 International Takedowns 07:41 Ghost CMS Mass Exploits 09:07 ClickFix Infection Chain 10:25 How to Remediate Ghost 10:39 Iran Spear Phishing Ops 12:51 Closing and Sign Off #Cybersecurity #CyberSecurityToday #AIsecurity #GhostCMS #DDoS #CyberEspionage #Anthropic #ClaudeAI #IranCyberThreat #InfoSec

Summer “Stingers” in the North Georgia Mountains: What's Buzzing Around Your Eaves? By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control Well, neighbors, summer has officially arrived in Jasper. The sun is out, the lake is calling, and if you're like me, you're spending as much time as possible on the back deck or out in the yard. But there's a downside to this beautiful North Georgia weather: The stingers are out in force. Up here in the mountains—from Talking Rock to Big Canoe—summer is the peak season for things that fly, buzz, and pack a punch. At Faith Pest Control, we're getting the calls every day from folks who walked into a yellow jacket nest or found a “paper lantern” hanging over their front door. Here's the breakdown of who's who in the world of North Georgia stinging insects this summer: The “Ground Troublemakers”: Yellow Jackets If there's one bug that can ruin a backyard BBQ faster than a summer thunderstorm, it's the Yellow Jacket. The Hiding Spot: Unlike honeybees, these guys love to build nests in the ground—often in old rodent burrows or under railroad ties. The Danger: They are notoriously cranky. If you run a lawnmower over their “front door,” they'll come out swinging. And unlike a honeybee, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times without losing its stinger. The “Eavesdroppers”: Paper Wasps You've seen these nests—they look like an upside-down umbrella with open honeycombs. The Hiding Spot: They love our North Georgia architecture! You'll find them under the eaves of your house, behind shutters, or tucked into the corners of your porch. The Behavior: They aren’t quite as aggressive as yellow jackets, but if you get too close while painting or cleaning your windows, they'll defend their home with a painful sting. The “Gentle Giants”: European Hornets These guys are big—sometimes over an inch long—and they can look pretty scary when they're bumping against your porch light at night. The Hiding Spot: They usually nest in hollow trees, but they aren’t above moving into an attic or a wall void if they find a gap in your siding. The “Attraction”: They are the only wasps in our area that are active at night. If you leave your porch lights on, don’t be surprised to see these big fellas circling the glow. The “Drill Bits”: Carpenter Bees While the males don’t have stingers (they're just “all bark and no bite” hovering in your face), the females do. The Damage: Their real “sting” is to your wallet. They bore perfectly round holes into your cedar siding, decks, and fascia boards. If left alone, they'll turn your beautiful mountain home into a piece of Swiss cheese. Fred's “Stay Safe” Summer Tips Before you grab a can of spray and head out there, keep these things in mind: Watch the Flight Path: Before you start weeding or mowing, stand back and watch your yard for a minute. If you see bugs consistently flying in and out of a hole in the ground or a crack in your siding, you've found a nest. Avoid “The Swat”: If a wasp flies near you, try to stay calm. Swatting at them is interpreted as an attack, and that's when they call for backup. Check the Kids’ Playsets: Check under the slides and inside the “fort” area of backyard playsets once a week. These are favorite hiding spots for wasps. Don’t Block the Exit: If you find wasps entering a hole in your house siding, do not caulk that hole shut while they are inside. They will find a way out—and “out” might mean chewing through your drywall into your living room! We've Got the Gear to Handle It Look, I know a lot of folks like to “DIY” their pest control, but when it comes to stinging insects, it can get dangerous fast—especially if you have an undiscovered allergy. At Faith Pest Control, we have the protective gear and the specialized treatments to knock out these nests safely. We live and work right here in Jasper, and we want to make sure your summer stays fun and sting-free. Give us a shout at Faith Pest Control, and let's keep those “mountain stingers” in the woods where they belong!The post Summer “Stingers” in the North Georgia Mountains: What's Buzzing Around Your Eaves? first appeared on Faith Pest Control.

Warren police are warning of swatting issues.

President Donald Trump held a rally at a packaging facility in Hebron, Kentucky Wednesday. Carmel Clay Schools alerted families to a potential swatting attempt Wednesday after multiple similar voicemails were left at schools within a short period of time. The death of an ICE detainee who was found unresponsive in his cell at the Miami Correctional Facility last month has been deemed natural. A severe weather storm system barrelled through Illinois and Indiana overnight Tuesday. Roughly a half dozen TSA agents in Indianapolis have left the job as the latest federal shutdown has left them without pay.

How does a former auto mechanic become one of the fastest-rising independent investigative journalists in America? On this episode of The Karol Markowicz Show, Karol sits down with Walter Curt to discuss his unconventional path into journalism, his rapid rise during COVID, and the shocking moment that changed everything—being swatted alongside multiple journalists. Walter dives deep into his investigative work uncovering alleged government fraud, financial crime, and activist networks—explaining why “following the money” may reveal far more than the headlines suggest. He also shares insights into his biggest stories, including a controversial school-related scandal, and what it takes to report on sensitive topics in today’s political climate. Plus, a candid conversation on the personal cost of independent journalism—from threats and family strain to finding purpose and fighting for the next generation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hate, Swatting, Doxxing, Pizzabestellungen, gezielte Einschüchterung – all das sind keine zufälligen Eskalationen im Internet, sondern kalkulierte Machtdemonstrationen. In dieser Folge der Abschweifung geht es nicht um Empörung, sondern um Mechanismen. Ausgehend von aktuellen Beispielen und eigenen Beobachtungen analysiere ich, warum Hater nicht auf Inhalte reagieren, sondern auf Aufmerksamkeit. Warum öffentliche Beschwerden oft genau das liefern, was diese Menschen suchen. Und weshalb das alte Internet-Prinzip „Don't feed the troll“ heute aktueller ist denn je. Ich unterscheide klar zwischen Kritik und Hate, zwischen Diskurs und gezielter Zerstörung. Warum Kritiker bleiben, auch wenn man ihnen widerspricht – und warum Hater verschwinden, wenn man ihnen die Währung entzieht. Außerdem geht es um die Rolle von Öffentlichkeit, Impressumspflichten, Machtgefälle und die gefährliche Illusion, man könne Eskalation mit Lautstärke beenden. Eine Folge über Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie, digitale Gewalt und die unbequeme Erkenntnis, dass Schweigen manchmal kein Wegsehen ist – sondern Selbstschutz.

In this solo December episode, I continue a month-long series dedicated to educating parents about the real dangers our kids face online. After last week's story about Adam Tate, today I share two more real cases—one involving sextortion and another involving swatting—that every parent needs to understand. These aren't rare events. They're happening quickly, quietly, and often right under our noses while our kids sit in their bedrooms playing games like Roblox, Fortnite, and more.   You'll hear the heartbreaking story of 17-year-old Ryan Lass from San Jose, who took his own life within hours of being extorted by an overseas criminal network. Then we break down the tragic case of Andrew Finch, a 28-year-old father of two who was killed after a swatting prank triggered a full SWAT response to the wrong house. Both stories highlight how dangerous the digital world has become—and why we must be proactive, aware, and deeply involved in protecting our kids' online lives.     Timeline Summary: [0:00] Introduction [1:02] Why December episodes are focused on online safety and protecting kids. [1:50] Recap of last week's episode about Adam Tate and the Sean Ryan interview. [2:32] Why sinister online activity is escalating and why parents must stay informed. [3:02] Introducing two new stories: a sextortion case and a swatting case. [3:48] Explanation of "swatting" and why even young kids are now doing it. [4:48] Beginning Ryan Lass's story — a high school senior extorted online. [5:38] How a predator posed as a woman and launched a rapid blackmail attack. [6:07] FBI findings and identification of the international criminal ring. [7:41] Why Ryan's case matters: he was targeted, not reckless. [8:37] How modern predators manipulate teens using panic and pressure. [9:02] Parents' blind spots about who kids are connected to online. [10:17] Reminder that kids are connected to global predators—not just friends. [11:03] Introduction to Andrew Finch's swatting case. [12:06] The false 911 call describing a violent hostage situation. [12:57] How Andrew Finch was shot despite having no involvement. [14:01] Why swatting is deadly—and how it grew out of gaming communities. [15:39] The seriousness of online conflict and its real-world consequences. [16:33] How swatting and predator activity now infiltrate gaming platforms. [16:54] Why Bark is one of the most effective tools for monitoring kids' devices. [17:19] The need for proactive online supervision—like helmets for digital life. [18:18] A recent incident with my own son that Bark helped me catch early. [19:09] The urgency of protecting our kids from online predators. [19:32] Directing listeners to the show notes and resources at thedadedge.com/1412. [20:10] Additional resources including PenTester, YouTube links, and conversation guides. [20:27] Free "Conversations for the Car" PDF for kids ages 5–18. [20:45] Encouragement for parents: we fight this fight together.       Five Key Takeaways Predators are organized, trained, and global. Kids on gaming systems are interacting with far more than just "friends."  Sextortion happens extremely fast. In Ryan's case, the window from first contact to death was only hours.  Swatting is no longer just a gaming prank—it's deadly. The Andrew Finch tragedy shows how quickly it can turn fatal.  Parents must stay vigilant, informed, and engaged. Safety now requires ongoing conversations and digital monitoring.  Tools like Bark can save lives. Monitoring texts, DMs, and online chats can catch danger long before it escalates.      Links & Resources Mentioned   Bark Monitoring for Families: https://thedadedge.com/bark Ryan Montgomery Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2GPd36fFPuLsBSlZp6WUvc?si=BPYACSoWRRin9MatFHMGbg Facebook Story Referenced in Episode: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=32876961955250751&id=100000911118224&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=nnmVU8LFIdec2oLO# PenTester (Ryan Montgomery's Cybersecurity Site): https://pentester.com/ Ryan Montgomery's YouTube Channel (@0dayCTF): https://www.youtube.com/@0dayCTF NBC Bay Area News — Sextortion Case of San Jose Teen: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/4-arrested-sextortion-san-jose-teen-suicide/3865298/?utm_source=chatgpt.com ABC News — Swatting Incident Leading to Andrew Finch's Death: https://abcnews.go.com/US/la-man-arrested-swatting-incident-led-police-killing/story?id=52057251&utm_source=chatgpt.com Podcast Episode Shownotes: http://thedadedge.com/1412   Closing Remark If this episode helped open your eyes to the realities our kids face online, please take a moment to rate, review, follow, and share the show.

Episode 418 of Boss Hog of Liberty is out! Jeremiah Morrell and Bones Harcourt are your hosts. Zach Burcham is working as your producer. Brian Nichols is our featured guest. The Government has reopened and Thomas Massie just got the Epstein Files release turned into law. Will he turn this momentum into a career on the national stage? The Trump Administration has been trying to redistrict congressional seats across the country. This week they lost a court case in Texas and potentially they are going to lose 5 seats in their quest to keep the House of Representatives. This has put even more pressure on the push for Indiana to take up mid cycle redistricting. Governor Braun has called a special session, but the Senate is refusing to take the issue up. President Trump has started singling out members who are not on “his side” and some of them have been victims of harassment and “Swatting”. The Indiana State Police are now investigating. Locally, the Henry County Planning commission has approved the Knightstown Data Center and the City of New Castle has passed an RV parking ordinance that might be more aggressive than intended.

President Donald Trump is sharply criticizing Indiana Senate Republicans for refusing to return to the Statehouse in December to vote on mid-decade redistricting, intensifying pressure on GOP lawmakers as party leaders say they lack the votes to move forward.

War Room Tune In For LIVE Election Day Coverage, As New York City Poised for Socialist Islamist Takeover & NYC Polling Stations Face Swatting & Bomb Threats… Meanwhile, Dems Seek To Turn Red States Blue In Pivotal Races

A teenage girl. A viral pop star. A Tesla. A fake 911 call. Is this a murder case—or is it something even more calculated? In this full-length Hidden Killers investigation, we go deep into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, whose body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to singer d4vd. The vehicle sat for weeks on a public street before being impounded. The odor led to the discovery of human remains. Since then, the internet has exploded with speculation, assumptions, and unconfirmed theories—but the LAPD has not made an arrest, and cause and manner of death remain undetermined. So what do we really know? This episode strips away the noise and asks a much sharper question: Is David Burke—better known as d4vd—being framed? We walk you through the timeline, confirmed reporting, and the forensic science behind the case, including a chilling new detail: a voice-changed 911 call sent armed police to the Texas home of d4vd's parents, just days after the body was found. Was it a prank, or part of a wider effort to harass or implicate him? We speak about the possibilities—from digital footprints to forensic tripwires in the Tesla itself—and how investigators will use science, data, and chain of custody to separate narrative from truth. This is not about defending or accusing—it's about what the facts actually show, and where those facts haven't yet caught up to the headlines. If you're here for real true crime storytelling—fact-first, emotionally grounded, never sensationalized—you're in the right place.

In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover the heartbreaking Catholic school shooting in Minneapolis, a wave of swatting attacks targeting U.S. colleges, and global updates from Iran, Greenland, Vietnam, and West Africa. From domestic terror and cultural battles at home to mineral wars and Islamist violence abroad, today's brief delivers the facts shaping America's future. Minneapolis Catholic School Shooting: A 23-year-old man who identified as transgender opened fire outside a Catholic school, killing two children and injuring 17 others. In his manifesto he wrote, “I do it to please myself… I do it because I am sick.” The school's priest begged, “I ask you to — please — pray,” while Democrats like Jen Psaki shot back, “Prayer is not freaking enough.” Bryan calls Psaki's remarks “a demand of the evil and wicked” and links the shooter's instability to cross-sex hormones, THC use, and the broader dangers of experimental “gender affirming care.” Swatting Attacks Target U.S. Colleges: Universities from South Carolina to Colorado were hit by fake active-shooter calls, prompting dangerous police raids. Wired identifies the culprits as an online group called Purgatory, who brag they are “nihilistic” and do it for fun and cash. Bryan argues the crime warrants capital punishment: “You rip this stuff and these people out by the root.” Foreign Spies Captured Bolton's Emails: The New York Times confirms that a foreign intelligence service intercepted classified emails John Bolton sent to his wife and daughter from an unsecured system. Democrats call Trump's DOJ “fascist,” but Bryan insists, “Had I done what John Bolton did, I would be in prison a long time ago.” Iran's Nuclear Stockpile Neutralized: Satellite images confirm Trump's Operation Midnight Hammer left 900 pounds of enriched uranium entombed at Isfahan. The IAEA backs the finding, despite Iran threatening its director Rafael Grossi with death. Bryan says the news proves firing DIA chief Jeffrey Kruse for downplaying the strike was “a good clean-out of the Deep State.” American Operatives Stir Trouble in Greenland: The Wall Street Journal reports suspected Trump-linked contractors are recruiting Greenlanders for separatist movements, sparking tensions with Denmark. Bryan suspects, “These guys are more like Erik Prince's Blackwater than CIA professionals — sloppy, but maybe effective.” China Moves to Corner Vietnam's Tungsten Supply: Reuters reveals Chinese firms are secretly bidding for Vietnam's tungsten mines through front companies. With the U.S. sourcing a quarter of its tungsten from Vietnam, Bryan warns this could leave America “utterly dependent” on Beijing for another critical mineral. Islamist Violence in Ivory Coast Spurs U.S. Base Plans: Militants from Burkina Faso kill farmers in northern Ivory Coast, part of a growing jihadist campaign across West Africa. The U.S. considers building a drone and Special Forces base in Benin, Ghana, or Ivory Coast to counter both Islamists and China's expanding footprint in African resources and fishing.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Minneapolis Catholic school shooting, transgender shooter manifesto, Jen Psaki prayer remarks, THC psychosis gender dysphoria, U.S. college swatting attacks Purgatory group, John Bolton unsecured emails espionage, Operation Midnight Hammer uranium entombed, Jeffrey Kruse DIA firing, Trump Greenland operatives separatist movement, China Vietnam tungsten mine, U.S. dependence critical minerals, Ivory Coast Islamist attack Burkina Faso, U.S. West Africa drone base, China Africa bauxite cocoa fishing
