The Dark Truth About Trump’s Plane Switch Leak: Wolff

Author Michael Wolff says he believes word of a covert Secret Service operation—to shield the president from a credible Iranian assassination threat—was ultimately made public by Trump himself. “No one knows about it, and no one knows about most of these things that the Secret Service does for a very good reason,” Wolff said on Inside Trump’s Head podcast. “These are all security precautions...

Villagers oppose setting up of sewage treatment plant near Vaniyambadi
Residents of Valayambattu village in Tirupattur have been opposing the setting up of a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) by neighbouring Vaniyambadi municipality along Palar River due to fear of groundwater pollution.

Alternative sites for the facility should be identified,” said M. Karthigeyan, a resident.
GENEVA – Global youth unemployment rose in 2025, the United Nations said on Aug 11, with some of the steepest increases seen in high-income countries as artificial intelligence begins to change the jobs market.

CEO Greg Penner say Broncos have yet to consider whether new stadium will have PSLs
Hey, so the Broncos are planning to build a new stadium by 2031, but they haven't even considered whether it'll have Personal Seat Licenses, or PSLs. That's the extra fee you pay to buy season tickets. CEO Greg Penner said it's not even on their radar right now, they're too focused on finding a location for the new stadium. They're still looking at Burnam Yards as the preferred site, but nothing's finalized. Penner did say they'll keep their season ticket holders informed every step of the way, but for now, PSLs are off the table.
Samsung is Starting to Catch Up to Apple on Hearing Health
Samsung will join Apple in offering over-the-counter hearing aid functionality. Apple added an FDA-cleared hearing health feature to the AirPods back in 2024, allowing them to be used as a clinical-grade hearing aid. Like the AirPods, the Galaxy Buds can replace a hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss, and Samsung is introducing a Hearing Test option like Apple did. Galaxy Buds users can do a self-administered hearing test in five minutes and the resulting clinical-grade audiogram can be used to adjust the built-in Hearing Aid feature.

A person died in a suspected house explosion in Indiana as furious storms moved through the Midwest on Tuesday, bringing at least two tornadoes to Illinois and winds that overturned a train car elsewhere, officials said.
