US steps into war between Israel and Iran, strikes 3 Iranian nuclear sites

US steps into war between Israel and Iran, strikes 3 Iranian nuclear sites

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The U.S. military struck three sites in Iran, inserting itself into Israel’s war aimed at destroying the country’s nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran’s threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict. President Donald Trump said Iran’s key nuclear sites were “completely and fully obliterated.” He also warned Tehran against carrying out retaliatory attacks against the U.S., saying Iran has a choice between “peace or tragedy.” Iran’s nuclear agency confirmed that attacks hit its Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz atomic sites, but insisted that its work will not be stopped.… Continue Reading

LSU goes for 2nd national title in 3 years as it opens CWS finals against streaking Coastal Carolina

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — LSU and Coastal Carolina have met only two times previously as they enter the College World Series finals Saturday night. Those games back in 2016 have not been forgotten.

Jay Johnson, now at LSU, was Arizona’s coach. Coastal Carolina is on a 26-game win streak. LSU is going for its second national championship in three years.… Continue Reading

Pilot killed in small plane crash in North Carolina raised a wheel to avoid a turtle, NTSB says

MOCKSVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A National Transportation Safety Board preliminary report says the pilot of a small plane that crashed at a North Carolina airport runway this month raised a wheel after landing to avoid hitting a turtle. Officials say the pilot and a passenger were killed in the June 3 crash near Sugar Valley Airport in Mocksville. A second passenger was seriously injured. A communications operator reported that she advised the pilot about the turtle and that after landing, the pilot lifted a wheel to avoid it. A man cutting grass reported that after the wheel was raised, the wings rocked back and forth and the plane took off again. He then heard the crash.… Continue Reading

North Carolina Green Party retains official status despite failing vote thresholds

North Carolina Green Party retains official status despite failing vote thresholds

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Green Party will remain an official party in North Carolina, able to field candidates statewide through the 2028 elections. The Republican majority on the State Board of Elections voted Thursday to allow the North Carolina Green Party to be recognized again in the ninth-largest state. The party was at risk of joining four other small parties whose candidates for president or governor also failed to reach vote thresholds last year. But Green Party officials said they more than met another standard in state law because presidential candidate Jill Stein was on the 2024 ballot in at least 35 states.… Continue Reading

North Carolina Gov. Stein vetoes his first bills. They are on concealed carry and immigration

North Carolina Gov. Stein vetoes his first bills. They are on concealed carry and immigration

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein has vetoed his first bills. On Friday he blocked for now Republican legislation that would let adults carry concealed handguns without a permit and make state agencies and local sheriffs more active in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The three vetoed measures now return to the legislature, where Republicans are one House seat shy of holding a veto-proof majority. Override votes could happen as soon as next week. Stein said the gun bill makes North Carolina residents less safe and undermines responsible gun ownership. One immigration bill would force some state law enforcement agencies to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.… Continue Reading

Generational survey uncovers surprising insights on how Americans connect with the ocean

Generational survey uncovers surprising insights on how Americans connect with the ocean

RALEIGH, N.C. (WPTF) – A new national survey from ocean research group DEEP reveals surprising generational gaps in how Americans view the ocean’s role in daily life. Released for World Oceans Day, the study found that while only 45% of respondents understood the ocean’s impact—from oxygen to infrastructure—interest in ocean exploration remains high, especially among younger people. DEEP’s Dr. Dawn Kernagis, a former NASA aquanaut, says the findings highlight both a lack of awareness and a growing fascination with underwater living. The survey aims to spark deeper conversations and inspire more people to protect our oceans through simple everyday actions.
