GREG HODGEN, True Crime Trial Exposes Litigation Tax On Working Families
An opinion piece argues that the conviction of two Louisiana plaintiffs’ attorneys tied to a conspiracy involving staged truck crashes and fraudulent claims spotlights broader dysfunction in trucking-related lawsuits. The author blames “jackpot justice,” aggressive advertising, and warped incentives for higher insurance costs and consumer prices, and points to reforms and enforcement in places like Florida and New York as models to curb abuse while preserving legitimate compensation.
Tech hobbyist makes shoulder-mounted guided missile prototype with $96 in parts and a 3D printer
A hobbyist showcased a Stinger-style launcher and missile-like prototype built largely from 3D-printed components and cheap, widely available electronics, using sensors and microcontrollers for guidance, plus an optional camera and GPS tracking setup. It has no proven real-world effectiveness and is not comparable to military-certified systems, but it underlines how modern fabrication tools can make weapon-like experimentation vastly more accessible, because apparently we are speedrunning the “bad idea” portion of the timeline.
Mysterious boom near Houston followed by report of rock through roof, meteor possible
A loud boom rattled parts of the Houston area, and one resident reported a rock crashing through her roof, leaving a large hole and a football-sized fragment.

Trump threatens strikes on Iran power plants over Strait of Hormuz ultimatum
President Donald Trump said the United States would strike and “obliterate” Iran’s power plants if Iran does not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz by Monday, escalating pressure as energy prices rise. In a Truth Social post, he set a 48-hour deadline to open the waterway “without threat,” warning the largest power plant would be targeted first, because nothing says calm, strategic statecraft like diplomacy by countdown timer.
