Liar-in-Chief Donald Trump has once again showcased a unique ability: making claims about events that never actually occurred. During a Navy event, he asserted that in his 2000 book, he had forewarned the U.S. about Osama bin Laden. Interestingly, this alleged “prophecy” was so confidential that it did not even appear in the published book.
Despite fact-checkers debunking this story years ago, Trump continues to resurrect it like a recurring false narrative. He proudly emphasized the importance of his supposed mention of a man he had never actually referenced. He even claimed to have informed Pete Hegseth, who was a young individual at the time and not the U.S. defense secretary.
While history will remember many aspects of Trump’s presidency, his nonexistent clairvoyant phase as a hindsight ghostwriter will not be one of them.
In Northern California, law enforcement officers were puzzled when a Waymo self-driving taxi executed an illegal U-turn without a driver present to issue a ticket. The San Bruno Police shared on social media that during a DUI checkpoint, the autonomous vehicle performed a maneuver in front of them. They humorously noted the absence of a driver or hands on the wheel, leading to a situation where they couldn’t issue a citation to a “robot.”
Waymo was contacted to address this issue, ensuring that future self-driving vehicles adhere to traffic regulations.
The El Cortez Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, renowned as the city’s oldest and purportedly most haunted establishment, is challenging adventure seekers to spend a weekend hunting ghosts for a cash prize. Since 1941, the hotel has witnessed various events, from mob activities to chaos, and is now offering $5,000 to one daring individual willing to search for its resident spirits.
Organized by Casino.org, the competition will select a single winner to spend a night on Fremont Street, also known as the “Old Strip.” Essentially, it offers a Vegas-style ghost-hunting experience akin to The Shining, but with slot machines, vibrant neon lights, and slightly improved room service.
In a surprising turn of events, a Florida man named Walter Frymire, arrested for drug and trespassing offenses, was found concealing a full-sized flask during a jail X-ray scan. Sheriff Grady Judd revealed that the flask had been smuggled in the day before through an unconventional method. Frymire, a 28-year meth user, faced charges for trespassing on Amtrak property, with the oversized thermos as an unexpected discovery.
The Nobel Committee faces a unique challenge this year not in selecting a winner but in locating one. Fred Ramsdell, recently awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine, seems to be unaware of his newfound global acclaim while enjoying an off-grid hiking trip. His colleague Jeffrey Bluestone expressed difficulty in reaching him, hinting that Ramsdell might be backpacking in Idaho.
