Two U.S. Army soldiers and a U.S. civilian who was serving as an interpreter were killed after shots were fired at U.S. and Syrian forces during a visit to a historic central town in Syria on Saturday, U.S. military officials said. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a post on X that the attack occurred as the soldiers were conducting a "key leader engagement." He said three other service members were injured in the incident.

December 10, 2025 In a marked reversal in foreign policy from his first term, President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. will now allow China’s communist regime to purchase some of the most advanced American-made microchips available on the market. A growing cohort of experts and lawmakers say the move will severely undercut national security by allowing the U.S.’s biggest global adversary to use the powerful technology to develop more advanced weaponry and cyber warfare tactics.

U.S. forces have seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, marking the latest escalation in President Donald Trump’s targeting of the South American nation, according to new reports. The intercepted tanker had been sanctioned by the U.S. government, sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News on Wednesday. The seizure could make it more difficult for the oil-rich nation to conduct trade, as shippers may be wary of handling its cargo. The majority of Venezuelan oil is sent to China.

In recent months, U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) has spoken out against the dangers of domestic radical Islam while also filing legislation aimed at addressing the growing threat it presents to the United States. Tuberville's efforts have largely been met with support from Alabamians. But, AL(dot)com's Kyle Whitmire, who recently moved to Washington, D.C. to be a "Washington watchdog columnist" for the outlet, is clearly not part of that demographic. In an X post entitled "Tommy Tuberville says things George Wallace wouldn't have. There's no code language here," Whitmire effectively labeled Tuberville a racist for speaking out against the establishment of a private Islamic academy in Hoover.

A group of MAGA influencers recently took a luxury trip to Qatar, sparking criticism from prominent allies of President Donald Trump, who alleged the visit smacked of a foreign influence campaign, according to a new report. In late November, right-wing internet personalities Emily Wilson, Caitlin Sinclair and Rob Smith flew to the Gulf state and documented their visits to a nightclub, upscale restaurants and a Formula 1 race.

A student at a Christian university in California said her Turning Point USA chapter was barred from being recognized as an official chapter, which the school explained is its official policy for "political advocacy initiatives."

The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission has voted to forward the request for the Islamic Academy of Alabama and Muslim prayer center, with a recommendation to deny it. Approximately 175 people turned out for the meeting Monday night, most in opposition to the proposed zoning change that would allow the Islamic Academy of Alabama to move into Hoover's Meadowbrook Corporate Park. Public comments lasted 40 minutes before the vote to move the matter to the city council, with a recommendation to deny the project.

A former World Trade Center worker who “narrowly escaped” the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks has been beaten to death by three teens — one of whom was just 12 at the time of the attack, according to officials. Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found “severely beaten” just before midnight on Oct. 19 in Downtown Jacksonville, FL., after three teens were seen “kicking and stomping” him, according to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) called for an immediate ban on all Islamic immigrants after an asylum seeker from Afghanistan shot two National Guardsmen on Wednesday near the White House. According to media reports, the victims are in critical condition, and the shooter is in custody. Tuberville said on X on Wednesday, "The Afghan terrorist who shot 2 National Guard heroes in D.C. was welcomed into this country with open arms by Joe Biden."

MELBOURNE, Australia — A man who set fire to a Melbourne synagogue while worshippers were inside was motivated by mental illness rather than antisemitism, an Australian magistrate said on Monday. A v, 35, had pleaded guilty to arson and recklessly placing people at risk of death on July 4 when he doused the front door of the East Melbourne Synagogue with flammable liquid and ignited it. Around 20 worshippers were inside sharing a Shabbat meal, but no one was injured.

MEBOURNE, Australia (AP) — An Australian senator who is campaigning for a national burqa ban was barred Tuesday from Parliament for the rest of the year for wearing the Muslim garment in the chamber. Pauline Hanson, the 71-year-old leader of the anti-Muslim, anti-immigration One Nation minor party, was accused of performing a disrespectful stunt on Monday when she walked into the Senate shrouded in the head-to-ankle garment to protest fellow senators’ refusal to consider her bill that would ban the burqa and other full-face coverings in public places.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday targeting the Muslim Brotherhood movement, instructing cabinet members to investigate branches of the radical Sunni movement ahead of a possible terror blacklisting. The measure tasks the State Department and the Treasury Department with gathering information on various branches of the Muslim Brotherhood to assess whether they should be designated as either Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) or Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).
