Donald Trump suggests using military against ‘enemy from within’ on Election Day

By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN Photo: Brandon Bell / Getty Images via AFP Former President Donald Trump suggested using the military to handle what he called "the enemy from within" on Election Day, saying that he isn't worried about chaos from his supporters or foreign actors, but instead from "radical left lunatics." "I think the bigger problem are the people from within. We have some very bad people. We have some sick people. Radical left lunatics," Trump said told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo in an interview on Sunday Morning Futures. "I think it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military, because they can't let that happen," he added.

‘Comet of the century’ captured in photos across the globe | Science & Tech News

Stargazers across the globe managed to capture the "comet of the century" as it whizzed across the northern hemisphere. Comet A3, also known as Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, did not disappoint astronomers who were anticipating how bright and visible it might be as it came within approximately 44 million miles of Earth on Saturday. Snaps from across the UK, US and Asia showed the comet within the inner solar system.The phenomenon roughly occurs every 80,000 years - meaning the comet would have last been visible from Earth when the Neanderthals were walking the planet.

ANALYSIS: The Liberal revolt is about Trudeau, communications, and the carbon tax – National

The hopes of an anxious Liberal caucus were first raised at the end of the summer of 2022 in the resort town of St. Andrew’s, New Brunswick. Liberals had gathered that August for the first in-person retreat after the pandemic to confront a series of polls that found them trailing the leaderless Conservatives by a few points.In September of that year, the Conservatives would find their leader, Pierre Poilievre, and now, two years later, the anxiety of 2022 has turned to the panic of 2024 with multiple polls showing the Liberals 20 points behind and facing an absolute rout if an election were held this fall. Many Liberal MPs who once thought they might survive on their own popularity are now facing the reality that they will lose their jobs because of the unpopularity of the same leader who ...

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu urges removal of UN peacekeepers from Lebanon, claiming they are ‘hostages of Hezbollah’ | World News

Benjamin Netanyahu has urged the United Nations to remove its peacekeepers from Lebanon, claiming they are becoming "human shields" and "hostages of Hezbollah".The Israeli prime minister said he had asked for their removal "repeatedly" and been "met with repeated refusals". Meanwhile, the UN said Israeli tanks burst through the gates of one of its bases early on Sunday morning, asking that the lights be turned off.The presence of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in areas it was required to fulfil a mandate was "putting peacekeepers in danger", the UN added.Breaching and entering a UN position was a "flagrant violation of international law", it said. Israel defended the incident, however, by saying one of their tanks was trying to evacuate injured soldiers "while still under fire" and "backe...
