25 years after 9/11, Tunnel 2 Towers honors the fallen at the White House

LA HABRA - UPDATE: A hazmat incident at 503 S. Cypress Street prompted a response from Los Angeles County Fire and La Habra Police at around 11:53 a.m. on September 8, 2026. Crews responded after a chemical leak created a large orange cloud at a family-owned commercial facility. At least three people were exposed to the unknown substance; none had been transported to a hospital as of the latest report. The business specializes in industrial cleaning products, water treatment, and hand sanitizers. As of right now it is not leaking into the air. It is preferable for those living nearby to use their air purifiers and run them at max.

UPDATE: A man dubbed "The Butt Sniffer," who was previously arrested on suspicion of inappropriate behavior at Southern California businesses, was sentenced Tuesday to 170 days in county jail.⁠

Calese Crowder, 39, was most recently arrested in August after stores in Glendale reported a man acting suspiciously and bending down around people. Crowder was arrested a short time later in the 100 block of South Brand Boulevard. ⁠

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon warns school districts could lose federal funding for violating parents’ rights as the administration cracks down on secret gender transitions in schools

“Government employees and their advocates believe that they’re somehow entitled to that [government job] by some, like, divine right, regardless of their output.”

AGAIN AND AGAIN: A convicted felon was OUT ON BOND when police say he got into another gunfight and an innocent 16-year-old girl was killed.

Police say the teenager was an innocent bystander when gunfire erupted near the railroad tracks during Manassas’ crowded First Friday event.

Investigators believe 21-year-old Tasheem Rashad Douglas fired the shot that killed her. He is now charged with second-degree murder and multiple firearm offenses.

But this was not Douglas’ first run-in with police.

He was already a convicted felon, and in February police say he brandished a gun at Manassas Mall, fled from officers and ended up on the grounds of an elementary school.

Despite that, he was back out on bond when police say he became involved in another shooting.

Now a 16-year-old girl who had absolutely nothing to do with any of it is dead.

How many more innocent people have to die at the hands of criminals who were already arrested, already charged and then put right back on the street?

Seattle has a new euphemism for criminals: Ed Henry and Joshua Carr discuss why those in charge should be told, "shut your piehole."

Very dumb and unhappy Fake News CNN “reporter,” Kaitlan Collins (really low ratings, also!), had a panel where discussions were all FICTION AND LIES. You would think that CNN, which is suffering terribly in the TV Ratings, would get rid of their 3rd rate “anchors,” and try to bring credibility back to their once storied network. It is fading FAST! See you all at the Republican National Convention tomorrow night!!! President DJT

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

Karmelo Anthony’s family is asking the public for ANOTHER $250,000 for his legal fight after already raising hundreds of thousands of dollars — while Anthony is also using publicly funded attorneys.

Anthony was convicted of m*rdering 17-year-old Austin Metcalf after st*bbing him at a Frisco high school track meet. He claimed self-defense, but the jury rejected that argument and sentenced him to 35 years in prison.

His request for a new trial was denied in August, and now his case is headed to appeal. APPARENTLY that means another fundraising campaign.

NBC 5 asked what happened to the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised before trial. A family supporter declined to answer, while Anthony’s attorneys later said the original defense cost more than $300,000.

If the public is being asked to hand over another QUARTER-MILLION DOLLARS while Anthony also has publicly funded legal representation, people have every right to ask exactly where all of this money is going.

Unbelievably, the fundraising campaign is WORKING. But where exactly is the money going?

NEW: U.S. Marshals Service officials announced Tuesday that they recovered 79 children reported missing or endangered during a monthslong operation across Ohio.

In Operation Meridian (August), U.S. Marshals recovered 79 missing or endangered children (ages 6–17) across Ohio, marking the largest missing-child operation in the state's history. Conducted with federal, state, and local partners, the operation targeted cases involving trafficking, abuse, and neglect in communities such as Cleveland, Columbus, and Toledo. Authorities also assisted HUD-assisted housing residents, recovering specific victims like two sisters from 2024/2026 and a trafficking victim in Toledo. All recovered children were connected with medical, psychological, and reunification services.

Please, praying for the Milwaukee Police officer who was shot in the line of duty this evening 🙏🏻

On September 8, under the direction of SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM) forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization. Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it. JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.

The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.

A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

Accepting this race and entering the “endgame” is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company’s Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available.

I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities.

If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because “it’s happening anyway” - or take this moment to call for different conditions?
