CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Torrential rains in West Virginia have caused flash flooding that inundated homes and businesses. Authorities say the floods washed out bridges and led to numerous water rescues in portions of the state. West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a state of emergency for all 55 counties Tuesday night. Forecasters said up to 7 inches of rain fell in some places. No deaths were immediately reported. Morrisey sent 100 National Guard members to the hardest-hit areas in the state's north, with an additional 200 members set to arrive late Wednesday morning. The rains were part of wide-ranging storms that produced reports of tornadoes in several states.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is expected to sign an agreement with Saudi Arabia that could potentially provide the kingdom with uranium enrichment capability for its civilian nuclear program. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says any deal signed by the U.S. would not lead to proliferation. Two people familiar with the matter have confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press. The deal could allow for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia following a joint U.S.-Saudi study. The two people, who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said the agreement could be announced as soon as Wednesday.
The debate over whether Ugandan immigrant Zoram Mamdani would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York City has sparked significant controversy. Mamdani, who argued that Netanyahu is a war criminal responsible for the deaths of thousands of Palestinians, claimed he was exploring legal options to enforce an International Criminal Court arrest warrant. However, President Trump explicitly stated that no such arrest would occur in the United States. Mamdani released a video asserting that Netanyahu should be arrested and tried, but he concluded that New York City lacks the legal authority to do so. Critics, including commentators on Salem News Channel, dismissed Mamdani’s efforts as a “kangaroo court” lacking jurisdiction, highlighting the broader political implications and the contentious nature of the debate. Trump’s direct involvement and endorsement of Netanyahu further complicate the situation, revealing deeper political tensions and differing perspectives on international law and sovereignty.
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Delaware, July 22 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump attended a ceremony for four U.S. service members who returned to American soil in flag-draped caskets on Wednesday after being killed in Iranian attacks in the Middle East.
The ceremony, known as a "dignified transfer" of the bodies, comes amid growing frustration with the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran.
The war has cost U.S. taxpayers at least $37.5 billion, has led to the deaths of 18 U.S. service members and injured more than 450 troops. It has killed thousands of Iranians.
Both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have raised questions about the war, which has boosted global oil prices and shows no signs of ending. Since the war started in February, Trump has offered differing objectives for the war.
The U.S. president traveled to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware for the ceremony.
"We're going to honor them. For me it's one of the hardest things to do as a president. But it has to be done," Trump said before leaving for the ceremony. Asked what he would tell the families of the fallen, Trump said: "All I'm going to say is, we love you. We love your child, and that's what they are to them. They're their children. There's no games, no nothing."
U.S. presidents, vice presidents and dignitaries regularly attend the solemn transfer ceremonies at Dover — home of the largest U.S. military mortuary — during times of war or conflict.
The three U.S. service members killed when an Iranian missile hit their sleeping barracks at Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan on Friday were First Lieutenant Tyler James Feehan, 25, Sergeant Angel S. Rampersad, 28, and Private Isabella Gonzales, 19. All three were assigned to U.S. Army air defense brigades.
The fourth death, of Sergeant Michael Emmanuel Swinton, 30, occurred on Sunday in a separate incident in Erbil, Iraq, during a controlled detonation of an attack drone.
The Pentagon said on Monday that 100 service members have been injured since July 7 and 96% have returned to duty.
Four in five Americans expect ?the war to drag on for an extended period, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll conducted this month. Some 37% of respondents approved of U.S. military strikes against Iran.
Trump's approval rating ?has hovered near the lowest levels of his political career since the conflict began, with Republican strategists warning that rising living costs have neutralized the political benefits of his tax cuts.
Higher gas prices and cost-of-living concerns pose a political risk to ?Trump's Republican Party ahead of November's midterm elections, in which it risks losing its House majority and possibly its control of the ?Senate.
President Trump traveled to Dover Air Force Base to honor the four U.S. service members killed in the Middle East, offering heartfelt condolences to their families and pledging that Iran would face consequences.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is returning to a New York courtroom for a pretrial hearing in the federal drug trafficking case against him.
Maduro has pleaded not guilty to the charges and continues to argue that he was illegally taken into U.S. custody. His attorneys are challenging both the circumstances surrounding his detention and the government's authority to prosecute him.
Federal prosecutors accuse Maduro of participating in a yearslong conspiracy to send large quantities of cocaine into the United States.
No trial date has been set as the court considers the defense’s legal challenges and other pretrial matters.
President Donald Trump will attend the dignified transfer of four U.S. service members killed in the Middle East when their remains arrive Wednesday at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.
According to the White House, the transfer will include two Army soldiers killed in Iranian missile and drone attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan, along with a third service member believed to have died in the same attack after previously being listed as missing.
The remains of another soldier, who was killed in Iraq while attempting to disarm an Iranian drone, will also be returned during the ceremony.
The dignified transfer marks the formal return of the fallen service members to the United States, where their families and military leaders will honor their service and sacrifice.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says the city does not have the authority to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
Speaking Tuesday, Mamdani said any effort to enforce the International Criminal Court warrant issued for Netanyahu would have to be carried out by the federal government, not the New York Police Department.
The comments represent a shift from remarks Mamdani made earlier this month and during his mayoral campaign, when he said he wanted the city's legal department to explore whether the NYPD could arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York.
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations criticized Mamdani's earlier comments, saying the mayor should stop calling for Netanyahu's arrest. Netanyahu is expected to travel to New York in September for the U.N. General Assembly.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told lawmakers Tuesday that the U.S. war against Iran has cost an estimated $37.5 billion so far, as he defended the administration's request for a $95 billion military funding package during a contentious Senate hearing.
The spending proposal includes funding for military operations, along with aid for farmers and election-related priorities backed by the White House.
Hegseth's testimony came as the Pentagon announced that more than 100 U.S. service members have been injured since early July and that the number of Americans killed in the conflict continues to climb.
The hearing featured heated exchanges and protests as lawmakers debated the growing human and financial costs of the war.
The U.S. military carried out an 11th consecutive night of airstrikes on Iran early Wednesday, targeting aircraft hangars and drone storage sites as fighting continued across the region.
U.S. Central Command said the latest strikes followed President Donald Trump's announcement that military operations against Iran would intensify. The attacks come after diplomatic efforts to revive an interim ceasefire collapsed.
Before the latest barrage, Iranian Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni traveled to Pakistan, which has served as a key mediator in the conflict. However, there was no indication that new negotiations were underway.
President Trump said the United States has no interest in renewed talks as the conflict continues, with both sides battling for control of the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
In a world where the lines between truth and deception are increasingly blurred, one thing is clear: the Democratic Socialists of America are on the move, and their influence is being felt across the country. This episode delves into the world of DSA, where the speaker shares his thoughts on the party's rise to power and its potential impact on the midterms.
The speaker discusses the recent comments made by Van Jones, a prominent progressive Democrat, who spoke out against the DSA's extreme policies. While some may see this as a positive development, the speaker argues that it's too little, too late, and that the damage has already been done. He also touches on the topic of progressivism, socialism, and communism, highlighting the dangers of these ideologies and how they can lead to the erosion of individual freedoms.
The conversation also explores the concept of the "working class" and how it's being used by politicians like Man Danny, who claims to be a champion of the working man but can't even define what that means. The speaker reveals the true nature of Man Danny's constituency, which is actually made up of higher-income, white, and highly educated voters, not the working class he claims to represent.
If you're interested in understanding the complexities of the DSA and its impact on American politics, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and commentary.
