The Pentagon is running a 60,000-strong secret army made up of soldiers, civilians and contractors, who travel the world under false identities embedded in consultancies and name-brand companies—without the knowledge of the American people or most of Congress—according to a report. The top-secret army was created by the Pentagon over the past 10 years as part of a program called “signature reduction,” and operates both domestically and internationally using a low-profile force of clandestine warriors who sometimes don civilian clothes as they carry out their assignments, Newsweek reported. The force is 10 times the size of the covert elements of the CIA,

It was on shaky ground. A Chinese skyscraper had to be evacuated Tuesday afternoon after it began inexplicably swaying on its foundation, prompting scores of bystanders to flee in terror, as seen in a series of viral videos circulating social media. The shaky incident occurred around 1 p.m. at Shenzhen’s SEG Electronics Building, which is one of China’s tallest structures in the city at a whopping 980 feet tall.(Snip) A follow-up clip posted by local media shows the top of the 73-story structure, on which two white conductor poles can be seen wobbling precariously. The building was sealed off around 2:40 p.m.

Home Depot on Tuesday reported first-quarter earnings that demolished Wall Street’s expectations, as demand for the retailer’s products remained robust as the pandemic eased. CEO Craig Menear said the company benefitted from “unprecedented demand” in the fiscal first quarter, which ended May 2.

Wall Street analysts expected $34.96 billion in net sales. Same-store sales rose 31 percent from a year ago, beating Wall Street expectations of a 19.9 percent increase, according to IBES data

Border Patrol agents in the San Diego area nabbed 25 illegal immigrant sex offenders in all of 2020. Now they have arrested 12 in just the past two months. In Del Rio, a once-quiet part of the border in Texas, law enforcement said arrests of Border Patrol sex offenders are up a staggering 2,500% this year. On one day in March, agents nabbed three offenders in just three hours, part of a flurry of seven offenders in less than two weeks.
All along the U.S.-Mexico boundary, agents report an “alarming” number of sex offenders attempting to sneak in, another grim reality of the border surge.

Last week, Hailey Davidson, a transgender woman, won her first professional title in Florida, topping LPGA player Perrine Delacour for the win. The same day, she was sent an email by the USGA saying she’s met the organization’s Gender Policy eligibility criteria and can now compete in its championships and she’s hoping to hear similar news from the LPGA via a reciprocity agreement, according to Golfweek. So much for fairness in women’s sports. In January, Ms. Davidson underwent gender reassignment surgery, and she’s been undergoing hormone treatments since 2015.(Snip)The science in these cases is clear. Biological men have more muscle mass, larger hearts and lungs,

One of the victims of a horrific subway stabbing spree lost his eye in the attack—and the teenage suspects staged the early-morning rampage as part of a gang initiation, prosecutors said Sunday. The gruesome details emerged in weekend court appearances for two of the three teens arrested in the Friday attacks, which left five victims bloodied and battered in lower Manhattan. Taquarious Soto-Burgos, 19; Joseph Foster, 18, and a 16-year-old boy were charged with robbery and weapons possession in connection with the predawn violence. A fourth suspect remained at large. Prosecutors have “information that the defendant’s violent crime spree on innocent

Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge said Monday the Biden administration won’t prevent illegal immigrants from access to public housing, as she announced a program to deliver $5 billion in emergency housing vouchers aimed at preventing homelessness. Asked if the administration would pursue a Trump-era policy to make sure that only U.S. citizens receive housing aid, Ms. Fudge said, “The answer is no.” “We are doing everything we can possibly to take any living person in this nation off the streets,” she told reporters. “That’s kind of our posture.” In 2019, the Trump administration proposed tightening regulations to prevent undocumented immigrants
