The Federal Aviation Administration has issued a nationwide ground stop for all U.S. airports following a “communication issue.” While authorities have said they do not believe this issue is the result of a cyber attack, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said he is not ruling anything out. Airport staff are telling passengers to head home, or to find housing, releasing luggage from planes as there is no information as to when flights may resume. This is only the third time in history the FAA has issued a nationwide ground stop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Back in 1960, three renowned scientists published an article in the respectable “Science” magazine predicting that today, Friday, November 13th, 2026 would be the end of the world. Austrian-American physicist Heinz Von Foerster, along with two colleagues at the University of Illinois, said the world population would reach “infinity” on this date, and that their great grandchildren would be “squeezed to death” by overpopulation. Obviously, we’re still here and while the prediction may seem silly now, there were some significant changes made because of this prediction that have bought the human race some more time. Now what are you going to do with it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just days after actor, comedian and YouTuber Russell Brand was sentenced to more than 10 years behind bars, six new women have stepped forward accusing Brand of sexual misconduct. The very same UK publications that jumpstarted the criminal investigation into Brand’s behavior, are now detailing the stories of more women. ‘The Times’ and ‘The Sunday Times’ are reporting these women gave their accounts before Brand’s trial even began, but were held to ensure their accusations didn’t prejudice the court proceedings. Meantime, London police say they are investigating two more rape allegations against Brand as reports are circulating that the former actor may be transferred to one of the UK’s most notoriously violent prisons.

Oklahoma has officially dismissed the murder charge against 63-year-old Richard Glossip, who spent nearly 30 years on death row after being convicted of ordering the 1997 killing of his boss. Glossip’s conviction was overturned in 2025 for prosecutorial misconduct after he had already faced 9 separate execution dates and had three last meals. Glossip agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charge of being an accessory to murder after the fact, for the state to drop the murder charge. However, prosecutors are maintaining that because the maximum sentence for accessory is 45 years, Glossip should be sentenced to more time behind bars to pay the full debt for his role in the crime.

Ohio police say the 71-year-old ex-son-in-law of a 71-year-old couple shot both of his former in-laws in the head before turning the gun on himself. What’s even more bizarre, Stefan Pascu had been divorced from the couple’s daughter for more than a decade. Police have not released a motive, but the day of the double murder-suicide was the birthday of Pascu’s ex-wife who warned police before entering the home that Pascu was unstable. Pascu had no known criminal history and that there were no protection orders in place at the time of the killings. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The latest casualty is his chief of staff, Susie Wiles, replaced by MAGA warrior and bulldog, Stephen Miller.

This week a jury found 77-year-old Robert Kessler guilty of murdering a Florida woman and dumping her severed body parts into McKay Bay back in 2021. Sentencing happened immediately after the verdict, and that’s when Kessler heard from his victim’s family and then the judge himself who said he had never, in his forty year career, seen a crime like this one. He said the murder was horrible enough, but admonished Kessler for going “full Hannibal Lecter” on 47-year-old Stephanie Crone-Overholts, cutting her body up in at least seven different pieces. Kessler was sentenced to life in prison with an additional 15 years for abuse to a dead body. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

35-year-old Jacob Pearson first threatened a Citibank employee over the phone regarding a $2500 credit card debt, and then drove more than an hour to the bank’s Tampa headquarters and opened fire.
