Vic Nava at NYPo hears Trump approves firing squad for Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan’s execution after Pete Hegseth’s recommendation. "Hasan, who was sentenced to death by a military court in 2013, would be the first service member executed by the armed forces since 1961." It's only been 17 years.

Dan Rivers @danriversitv, "Scoop: I have heard from a source familiar with the RAF Fairford story that the US feared a drone a attack similar to Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb last year which destroyed 10 Russian aircraft.

But what we do know is that she went to a frat house intentionally to have sex with two men and continued to have sex with other men and even attempted to have sex with a man who was unconscious. After that she claimed that the acts were consensual and that she was willing to do it again. The only reason she went to the police is because she was disinvited to a Halloween party at the same fraternity. This doesn't sound like a woman who was raped. This sounds like a woman who was scorned. She labored under the delusion that these men would form a friendship with her and that some might even consider forming a relationship with her.

Judge William Sullivan has DENIED Lindsay Clancy’s motion for a finding of
not guilty on all three murder indictments. Kevin Reddington argued the evidence was insufficient on two issues:
whether prosecutors proved Clancy was the person who killed her three children
and whether she was criminally responsible at the time. Sullivan rejected both
arguments, finding there was enough evidence for a rational fact finder to
conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Clancy committed the killings and was
criminally responsible. The motion is 5 pages, 5th page in the comments."
