The Trump-Xi Beijing Summit: What the Smiling Handshakes Won't Tell You

On Thursday, Donald Trump will walk into the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, shake Xi Jinping's hand, and declare it a great meeting. There will be announcements. There will be numbers — billions of dollars in Chinese purchase commitments, a new bilateral mechanism with an important-sounding name, possibly a joint statement on Iran. Trump will post on Truth Social. Markets will rally briefly. Pundits will argue about who won. None of that will tell you what actually happened. What is actually happening in Beijing this week is something more consequential and more uncomfortable than the summit theatre will reveal: two leaders of two deeply mutually dependent superpowers, both of whom need this meeting to succeed for entirely different reasons, sitting across a table in a world that has already moved past the assumptions that defined their last nine months of negotiations.

11 American Scientists and Nuclear Insiders Are Dead or Missing. The FBI Just Got Involved. Here's Every Name and What They Knew.

They worked on asteroid deflection missions. Nuclear weapons components. Plasma fusion that could change the world's energy supply. Anti-gravity propulsion. And one by one, since 2022, they have vanished or turned up dead — leaving behind phones, wallets, glasses, and more questions than anyone in Washington wants to answer. As of April 2026, at least 11 individuals connected to America's most sensitive nuclear and aerospace programs are dead or missing. The FBI has now confirmed it is leading a coordinated investigation. The House Oversight Committee has demanded briefings from NASA, the Department of Energy, the Pentagon, and the FBI by April 27. President Trump called it "pretty serious stuff." Here is every confirmed case, what each person was working on, and why the pattern — particularly in New Mexico — is so difficult to explain away. The New Mexico Cluster: Four People, One State, One Year The detail that alarms investigators most isn't the deaths. It...

Video: Steven Hawking telling us to get packing and head for the stars

Stephen William Hawking, CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA (born 8 January 1942) is a British theoretical physicist, whose scientific career spans over forty years. His books and public appearances have made him an academic celebrity and he is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a lifetime member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, and in 2009 was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. I remember him saying in his earlier books that he did not think aliens existed because if they did. We would have probably had a visit by now. Steven Hawking is now telling the citizens of the beautiful blue. They time is up not more than maybe a 100 or 200 years. The earth cannot sustain the growth of the human race any more than this, with all it's depleting natural resources. We are running out of time.  This revelation by Professor Hawking has already opened up loads of discussions across all sorts of Media. People of all races, creeds and co...
