The British government is so rattled by a Banksy mural satirizing judges at the Royal Courts of Justice that it may pursue a criminal damage case — a move that could finally expose the artist’s closely guarded identity. Clearly he (or she) hit a nerve.

Lead: Netanyahu Claims Full Responsibility for Doha Attack, Trump Scrambles

Israel launched an unprovoked attack on the Qatari capital of Doha on Tuesday, targeting senior Hamas leaders who were there for peace negotiations. The attack was condemned by many global leaders.
They did not kill Hamas leaders but they killed Hamas members and their associates, according to Hamas.
This put egg on the face of President Trump who arranged the Qatar meeting. Why would anyone trust the U.S. given what looks like a set up?
President Trump issued this statement which stops just short of condemning the attack.
“Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a Sovereign Nation and close Ally of the United States, that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker Peace, does not advance Israel or America’s goals,” he said.
Israel apparently thinks it does. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this on X:
“Today’s action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation. Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.”
President Trump said that the military alerted him of the strike and that he tried to warn Qatari officials but it was too late. Qatari leaders refute that.
“The statements being circulated about Qatar being informed of the attack in advance are baseless. The call from a U.S. official came during the sound of explosions caused by the Israeli attack in Doha,” said an advisor to the Qatari Prime Minister.
Qatar says it will adopt a “comprehensive” response to the strike — but what that means remains unclear. For now, the attack has shattered trust in U.S.-backed negotiations and raised new doubts about whether peace talks can survive the fallout.
A new study shows that the World Health Organization takes money from questionable sources and that may affect its operation.
Excuse me for a minute:
Duhhhhhhhhhhh!
This report comes from the BMJ, formerly the British Medical Journal. Researchers found that “current levels of donor transparency are low, potentially exposing the WHOF—and by extension the WHO—to risks of perceived reputational damage or undue influence.”
The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is listed as one of the WHO’s main donors and they make money from the very medical programs and vaccines that the WHO recommends. This has long-since been a known risk to public health!
Why is the medical world just catching up to this? And the media, who has ignored this for decades?
War Hits Wallets—Shield Yours with Gold
Cities crumble in conflict—and so can currencies. With Washington spending at wartime speed, the U.S. debt has rocketed past $34 trillion and the interest tab alone tops $1 trillion a year. The “fix”? Print more dollars—fueling inflation and eroding your savings.
That’s why central banks and billionaires are piling into gold and silver. Goldman Sachs now pegs gold at $4,500/oz by 2026—because real assets thrive when paper money falters.
My family moved a chunk of our nest egg into precious metals years ago; even our kids hold coins. It’s not a fad—it’s financial self-defense.

At first glance, the initiatives seem exceedingly reasonable. It includes a plan to define processed food, raise infant formula standards, improve food for military and veterans, reform Medicaid metrics for health improvement and continually evaluate chemical exposure as it relates to “children’s” health.
The strategy emphasizes voluntary collaboration and cultural messaging over regulatory enforcement. For now, it does not have a lot of teeth when it comes to enforcing new standards. Critics warn the plan lacks substance and may erode public health standards. But given that the U.S. is a leading nation in childhood obesity and has rising rates of childhood disease, how much weaker could those standards get?how much weaker could those standards get?
The Independent Medical Alliance praised the MAHA Strategy, calling it a “groundbreaking shift in federal health policy that prioritizes prevention, lifestyle, and transparency over pharmaceutical dependency.”

$999. That is the cost of the new Apple iPhone Air, available September 19. Apple announced several other new products on Tuesday.
World Cup CONMEBOL qualifiers were trending on Tuesday as the soccer/football tournament wrapped up.
Oliver North is trending because he reportedly married his former secretary, Fawn Hall, recently. The two were key figures in the Iran Contra scandal.
This video is trending where a student is removed from a class at Texas A&M for challenging the teacher’s lessons on gender ideology. It was a children’s literature course. The university said that this course was “not consistent with the course’s published description” and that the professor, the dean and the department head have been removed from their positions.
The New York Times took heat on Tuesday for how they covered the horrific death of 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on public transportation. Specifically, this sentence:
“After the video’s release, a number of influential conservatives also accused major news outlets, including The New York Times, of ignoring the story because the crime was committed by a Black man against a white woman.”
Elon Musk and others took to X to ask why “Black” is capitalized while “white” is not.
The answer lies in the AP Stylebook, which most major outlets treat as their grammar and style bible.
In the wake of George Floyd’s murder in the summer of 2020, AP announced it would begin to “capitalize Black in a racial, ethnic or cultural sense, conveying an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa. The lowercase black is a color, not a person.”
But what about white? According to AP, white people don’t get a capital letter: “White people generally do not share the same history and culture, or the experience of being discriminated against because of skin color.”
Ever heard of the Irish!?
Yes, AP admits white people have been victims of inequities. But even then, they say, capitalization would be dangerous because “capitalizing the term white, as is done by white supremacists, risks subtly conveying legitimacy to such beliefs.”
That is clearly racist. AP’s reasoning codifies a hierarchy: some groups’ histories and discrimination “count” enough to warrant capitalization, while others’ don’t. By saying white people “generally” haven’t experienced discrimination — when history is full of examples — they dismiss real persecution because it doesn’t fit their ideological frame.
That’s the racist part: this isn’t neutral style guidance, it’s a value judgment about which groups are “worthy” of formal recognition.
And have you noticed? I didn’t capitalize white here. This old faithful journalist student needs to break rank AP Style. While I’m at it, reclaim the Oxford comma, too. Here goes:
Humans can be White, Black, Asian, Russian, and many other things.
Woo! I’m free!
