Trump Says He Now Believes Ukraine Can Win Back All Territory Lost to Russia with NATO’s Help
-
President Donald Trump declared at the United Nations that he now believes Ukraine, with the support of NATO and the EU, can reclaim all territory lost to Russia—a sharp reversal from his past calls for concessions to end the war. The statement followed a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged continued U.S. backing as Ukraine faces relentless missile and drone strikes. Trump emphasized that Russia’s prolonged failure in the war made it appear like a “paper tiger,” while pushing Europe to cut off Russian oil imports and pledging support for NATO allies confronting Russian provocations. His remarks came as the U.N. detailed widespread human rights abuses in occupied Ukraine and reported surging civilian casualties amid intensified Russian attacks. Click here to read more.

OpenAI Teams Up With Oracle and SoftBank to Build 5 New Stargate Data Centers
-
OpenAI has announced plans to build five new Stargate data centers in the U.S. in partnership with Oracle and SoftBank, boosting total capacity to nearly 7 gigawatts, the equivalent of seven nuclear plants, with sites in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and the Midwest, and a major expansion at the flagship Abilene, TX, facility that will employ over 25,000 workers; the initiative, framed as critical to America’s AI race against China, comes alongside a $100 billion Nvidia deal to deploy up to 5 million GPUs by 2026, but experts warn that the massive energy demands, complex financing, and global competition from firms like China’s DeepSeek may challenge OpenAI’s bet that scale alone guarantees AI dominance.

Two-Thirds of Americans Believe in the Bodily Resurrection of Christ, Study Finds
- A new State of Theology survey by Lifeway Research and Ligonier Ministries shows that two-thirds of Americans (65%) believe the bodily resurrection of Christ literally happened, while 71% affirm the Trinity and majorities agree that God is unchanging, perfect, and that salvation comes through faith alone; however, many also diverge from biblical orthodoxy, with 65% saying God accepts all religions, 66% believing most people are naturally good, and nearly half denying that Jesus is God, findings that reveal a mix of strong affirmation of core Christian doctrines alongside widespread theological confusion in American faith today.

US Secret Service dismantles “imminent” nation-state threat targeting NYC telecom infrastructure
- The US Secret Service says it dismantled a massive nation-state cyber campaign aimed at New York City’s telecommunications, discovering over 300 SIM servers and 100,000 SIM cards hidden across abandoned apartments in the tri-state area, which had the potential to cripple cellular services, disrupt emergency systems, and even impact the United Nations General Assembly; investigators warned the system could send 30 million texts per minute and was already facilitating communication between foreign threat actors and criminal enterprises, though while the “imminent threat” has now been neutralized, no arrests have yet been made.

IDF encircles Gaza City as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II

The IDF announced Tuesday that its forces have fully encircled Gaza City as part of Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, with three divisions securing key sectors including Sheikh Radwan, Sabra, Tel al-Hawa, and the coastline; the military estimates that over 600,000 residents have already fled, while Hamas appears disoriented and reluctant to engage in large-scale confrontations, though sporadic clashes have occurred, including one that killed Maj. Shahar Netanel Buzaglo, a company commander; the IDF has also reinforced security nationwide for the High Holidays as Hamas reportedly pressures civilians to remain in the city, even attacking a UN convoy.
