TAKEOFF,

Activists with Russian Ties Convicted,

Four activists were convicted of conspiring to act as illegal Russian agents within the United States, the Department of Justice announced on Thursday.

According to prosecutors, Omali Yeshitela, Penny Hess, Jesse Nevel, all of St. Louis, and Augustus C. Romain Jr. of Atlanta received money and support from a Moscow-based organization for a number of actions in the US between 2015 and 2022. They were acquitted on the more serious charges of acting as foreign agents.

The four face potential imprisonment of up to five years. As of Thursday, no sentencing date was set.

Wisconsin’s Universities Adopt Neutrality Policy,

Wisconsin’s 13-school university system announced an immediate neutrality policy on Friday, limiting officials’ public statements to operational matters while maintaining impartial viewpoints.

The new policy is an outgrowth of UW-Milwaukee’s anti-Israel protest deal where Chancellor Mark Mone agreed to call for a cease-fire in Gaza and discuss cutting ties with Israeli companies.

UW System President Rothman and Jewish groups criticized Chancellor Mone’s deal with anti-Israel protesters, with Rothman calling for campus neutrality and consequences for actions.

The new policy exempts faculty and staff when teaching or sharing field-related expertise but cautions against using university channels to avoid implying institutional positions. Personal statements on non-university platforms are also exempt.

FDA Approves Apple’s Hearing Aid,

The FDA has approved software enabling Apple’s latest AirPods Pro model to function as hearing aids.

Apple’s new Hearing Aid Feature, available in October, will turn AirPods Pro 2 and compatible earbuds into hearing aids when used with iOS 18 devices. It’s the first FDA-authorized software to convert consumer earbuds into over-the-counter hearing aids.

Apple says users can create personalized hearing profiles using iPhones and the new AirPods Pro, transforming the earbuds into clinical-grade hearing aids.

According to the FDA, more than 30 million American adults have some degree of hearing loss.

POLITICS,

Federal prosecutors plan to file criminal charges over an alleged Iranian hack of former President Trump’s campaign emails as early as next week, according to sources.

The U.S. imposed sanctions on 16 Venezuelan officials allied with President Maduro, accusing them of interfering in the recent presidential election and suppressing opposition voices.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams appointed retired FBI official Tom Donlon as interim NYPD commissioner Thursday, seeking to rebuild the department’s image amid a federal probe of police officials.

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,

Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road King James Version

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
