They found evidence on Jared Kushner's phone of hundreds of millions in fraud and that he hired a hit man, but Hunter Biden's laptop huh?

N.C. 12 remains closed between Basnight Bridge and Rodanthe as crews remove damaged pavement and prep for a one‑lane detour by Fri. All other sections are open. The Rodanthe–Stumpy Point emergency ferry continues to run. Visitor access to Hatteras Island is still restricted.

Bob Uecker's "I must be in the front row" Miller Lite ad became bigger than the commercial campaign itself. The spot dates to the early 1980s and fit Uecker's self-deprecating persona perfectly. He could be a baseball broadcaster, actor and comedian without changing the character much at all. Nobody played the lovable guy who knew he wasn't the star better than Uecker.

NC DOT crews are in process of clearing way for new pavement on Hwy 12. Sandbags and protective dunes will be on the ocean side. Initial goal will be to open one lane, then two. A longer term fix would have to be approved at a higher level. Until then, re-paving.

Repeated ocean overwash continued to delay repairs to N.C. 12 on Pea Island on Sunday, while coastal flood advisories were extended through Thursday as king tides and persistent northeast winds prolong flooding and erosion concerns along the Outer Banks. patreon.com/SamWalkerOBXNews…

NASA shared space images from Mars.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is not authentic NASA footage from Mars but a digital composite of rover surface images with an unrelated Earth star field. NASA has confirmed similar viral videos are fake. x.com/NASAMars/statu… youtube.com/watch?v=FRm_tS… petapixel.com/2025/08/22/no-…
