Who Knows?
After campaigning on promises to end American entanglements overseas, Donald Trump announced a mere month after winning the 2024 presidential election that the United States’ “ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity” for “National Security and Freedom throughout the World.” In his inaugural address, weeks later, he delivered a casus belli against Panama, accusing the country of mistreating the United States: “China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn’t give it to China. We gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back.”Now, as the first year of his second term draws to a close, President Trump is mobilizing for war against … Venezuela?The buildup to a possible conflict with Venezuela, which has included attacks on boats and a gathering of forces in the Caribbean, is unusual, even surreal, in its lack of a coherent public rationale. Not only has the administration failed to seek authorization for… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago - John Roberts’s Dream Is Finally Coming TrueIn 1982, when the Voting Rights Act was up for reauthorization, the Reagan Justice Department had a goal: preserve the VRA in name only, while rendering it unenforceable in practice. A young John Roberts was the architect of that campaign. He may soon get to finish what he started.Last month, at the oral argument in Louisiana v. Callais, a majority of the conservative justices seemed to signal their willingness to forbid any use of race data in redistricting. That could lead to the end of the VRA’s Section 2 protections for minority voters, and allow states across the South to redraw congressional districts currently represented by Black Democrats into whiter, more rural, and more conservative seats, potentially before the 2026 midterms.A central question of the case, hotly debated during oral arguments, is whether Section 2 should prohibit election laws and procedures that have a racially discriminatory effect, or just those… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago

Scientists in Sweden have created a new pill designed to help the body burn fat and control blood sugar in a different way than popular GLP-1 drugs, like Ozempic.While injectable GLP-1s work by suppressing appetite, this new treatment boosts metabolism in the muscles.A study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University included both an early animal study and a human clinical trial with 48 healthy adults and 25 people with type 2 diabetes, according to a press release.NEW WEIGHT-LOSS SHOT SHOWS MAJOR FAT REDUCTION, BUT EXPERTS URGE CAUTIONThe new oral medication was found to successfully control blood glucose, boost fat burning and retain muscle mass in animals, while getting high marks for tolerability and safety in humans.It was also found to have fewer side effects than GLP-1s like semaglutides and tirzepatides, which are known to cause appetite loss, gastrointestinal distress and muscle wasting, the researchers noted.The experimental medication… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago - Cumulus’ KKOB(AM) Shuffles After Move From Two-Tower Site

Credit: John Bashian/Getty Images After nearly 85 years of broadcasting from location north of Albuquerque, Cumulus Media’s 770 KKOB(AM) moved its transmitting location in September and is operating at 1 kW both day and night from a long-wire antenna. Cumulus said it plans to return to its licensed 50 kW daytime from a new site in 2026, though it is unlikely the station will return to that same power level at night. KKOB is one of only two 50 kW AM stations in New Mexico, with 1020 KCKN in Roswell, which also runs a directional 50 kW at night to protect KDKA(AM), being the other. KKOB’s temporary setup is part of the ramifications the heritage station is facing following a hot-air balloon that struck its 645-foot daytime tower during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in October 2024.
