Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack.

The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come.

A muchos les extrañó el silencio de Trump sobre Brasil. No ha sido para no mojarse entre Lula o Flavio. Desde el equipo de Bolsonaro le trasladaron al presidente norteamericano que su apoyo explícito podía movilizar a la izquierda y podía dar razones a Lula para construir el relato del intervencionismo americano. En el backstage el apoyo del Gobierno de USA ha sido máximo. Brasil es prioritario para Estados Unidos que es consciente de que Lula estaba vendiendo a China sus reservas de tierras y minerales críticos. De ganar Bolsonaro la estrategia del presidente americano de no involucrarse habría sido magnífica.

All flights out of russia should be shut down immediately, and any country which does not comply should have its flights shut down. The time to act was yesterday.

BREAKING:

5 hospitals have been closed for quarantines in Siberia due to a possible plague outbreak.

The 28-year-old lab technician Darya Shipilova, died yesterday after breaking a test tube with live Yersinia pestis the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute on September 25th while handling samples.

A mask mandate has now been introduced at the huge aluminum plant in Irkutsk.

This first symptoms of pneumonic plague typically start about 4 to 7 days after exposure. 200 people are under observation.

Le Pen can't deport her way out of this. Many of the rioters were born in France and are French citizens. You can't deport someone to a country they've never lived in. Whatever France's answer is, it won't be deportation.

Of course this is true, which is why at one time there were social rituals aimed at making girls delay sex-having, like dances with chaperones and courtship and ‘have my daughter home by 9pm’. This system restrained both men and women, and we got rid of it. Now we have people wanting to bring back the good that system did, but with no social rituals and no expectation of restraint for women— only the expectation that men will exercise self-restraint for fear of running afoul of the law, or some mob of clucking old women online. It’s obviously ridiculous and will never work.

44 years ago today, Pat Summerall and John Madden called a Division-III college football game.

Wittenberg vs. Baldwin-Wallace
October 3, 1982

During the fall of '82, in the second week of the NFLPA's 57-day players' strike, CBS needed to get creative with its Sunday afternoon programming.

So on October 3, the network sent its top NFL broadcast team of Pat Summerall and John Madden to Springfield, Ohio to call Division-III Wittenberg's game against its rival Baldwin-Wallace — each school with an enrollment then of about 2,000 students.

Three other NFL on CBS broadcast teams were also assigned to call Division-III games that weekend.

Wittenberg, Baldwin-Wallace, and the Ohio Athletic Conference were each paid $10,000 for the game.

The video includes the CBS open and pregame introduction by Pat and John, the first several minutes of the game, and select highlights from this historic CBS broadcast.

A very rare and fascinating telecast — and quite a thrill for those players, coaches, students, and communities.
