Central to Hegseth’s campaign is a small circle of senior advisers, including Ricky Buria, a retired Marine colonel and Hegseth’s chief of staff, as well as Tim Parlatore, his personal lawyer, according to current and former officials with knowledge of the internal deliberations.

Those advisers informally evaluate candidates based on a number of subjective factors, including their loyalty to the president and their association with the previous administration’s diversity, equity and inclusion policies, the people said.

An entire city came to celebrate one man: Vozinha. 📷

The Cape Verde goalkeeper stood tall against Spain, delivering a heroic display to earn a historic point in his country's first-ever World Cup game.

@Copa90 This is AI 🤦‍♂️

Important info for Americans watching the World Cup:

It is not called FIFA. That is the organization that plans the tournament. It's simply "the World Cup."

Calling it FIFA is kinda like calling the Olympics "IOC".

A Russian drone struck an historic Christian monastery -- one of the most important sites in the Eastern Orthodox faith -- the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, causing a fire in the main church.

A spokesman for the Orthodox Church of Ukraine responded calling the Kremlin the “antichrist.”

In the first tranche of government UFO files, video PR38 looks the most visually interesting, but the shape was determined to be a camera artifact in the Metabunk investigation two years ago. Diffraction spikes, a bit like Gimbal's, but different camera.
