Massive Great White Shark "Contender" Caught Off Florida Coast

Sarah Wynn-Williams, a former high-ranking executive at Meta, has made explosive allegations against the company, claiming it collaborated with the Chinese Communist Party and jeopardized U.S. national security. During testimony at a congressional hearing chaired by Senator Josh Hawley, she stated, “I saw Meta executives repeatedly undermine US national security and betray American values," according to CBS News. Wynn-Williams accused Meta of allowing the Chinese government access to American user data and claimed that it aided in the development of artificial intelligence tools that supported China's control over online content. She criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg for allegedly creating censorship tools for China while portraying himself as a patriot. “The greatest trick Mark Zuckerberg ever pulled was wrapping the American flag around himself," she stated. In response to her claims, Meta has denied any engagement in operations within China and clarified that a potential $50,000 penalty mentioned in her testimony was tied to her separation agreement, not related to her whistleblowing. The controversy underscores ongoing concerns regarding tech companies' ties to foreign governments.

In a heartbreaking incident in Columbus, Ohio, a 7-month-old girl, Elizah Turner, died following an attack by one of her family's three pet pit bulls. The child's mother, Mackenzie Copley, expressed her devastation on social media, stating, "I will never understand why," and shared memories of her daughter with the dogs. According to Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua, the attack occurred at the family's home on South Champion Avenue and appeared to be accidental. Elizah’s father, Kameron Turner, also mourned publicly, questioning, “How can I continue living without her?” The Franklin County Coroner's Office confirmed the child's identity, describing her as a vibrant and joyful child. "Lizah was spunky, happy… and she was never without a smile," her obituary read. Following the incident, the three dogs have been taken into custody by Franklin County Animal Control, who will assess their fate after a thorough investigation, as reported by WBNS.

In a significant warning, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that Chinese hypersonic missiles could potentially destroy the entire fleet of US aircraft carriers within 20 minutes of conflict onset. "China has 15 hypersonic missiles that can take out 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of the conflict," Hegseth stated in a recent interview, highlighting the growing military capabilities of China. Hegseth indicated that US war games consistently favor China, suggesting that the US is lagging in military preparedness due to bureaucratic challenges and slow weapon acquisition processes. He mentioned concerns regarding China's rising influence over strategic sites such as the Panama Canal, critical for US container traffic, which saw 73% of its vessels associated with US ports. In response to growing fears about Chinese dominance in the region, a joint security deal was signed in early April, allowing US military personnel to conduct training exercises in Panama. This initiative aims to enhance security around the canal, which has seen expanded Chinese investment and military presence in recent years.
