US ATTORNEY SLAMMED FOR HANDLING OF PE*OPHILE ISRAELI CYBER OFFICIAL

Outrage is mounting on social media against Acting U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah and the Trump administration following reports that Tom Alexandrovich, a senior Israeli cybersecurity official arrested in a Las Vegas child s*x sting, had met with FBI and NSA officials before his arrest and was scheduled for further meetings the day after his arrest, yet was allowed to flee to Israel.

Critics allege that the U.S. government, through Chattah's office, shielded Alexandrovich by declining federal charges and leaving the case to local prosecutors, who have little chance of securing his extradition.

Police notes from Alexandrovich's interview indicate he had an interview with Department of Homeland Security(DHS) and FBI officers at the police station and had already met with both FBI and NSA officials multiple times prior to his arrest. He was scheduled for more meetings with the FBI and NSA the day after his arrest.

President Donald Trump held a high-stakes meeting at the White House on Monday, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and a delegation of European leaders, including German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to discuss a potential end to the war in Ukraine.

Trump announced in a Truth Social post that he had called Putin during the meeting to begin arranging the bilateral encounter, stating that Putin had agreed to accept security guarantees for Ukraine, a development he described as a "very significant step." Zelensky confirmed the discussion of security guarantees and stated they would be formalized on paper within the next week to ten days.

The core of the discussions centered on security guarantees for Ukraine, which Trump stated would be provided by various European countries with coordination from the United States. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for guarantees involving weapons, training missions, and intelligence, and confirmed that details would be worked out within 10 days.

MSNBC REBRANDS

Far-left cable news channel MSNBC is rebranding to My Source News Opinion World, or MS NOW, as part of its spinoff from NBCUniversal into a new publicly traded company called Versant, a move confirmed by multiple sources on August 18, 2025.

This change, which includes dropping the iconic peacock logo, is driven by NBCUniversal's decision to retain the peacock symbol for its own family of brands, necessitating a new, independent identity for the network. The rebranding is expected to be unveiled later this year, coinciding with the completion of the Versant spinoff, and will be accompanied by a significant marketing campaign.

ISRAELI OFFICIAL ARRESTED IN CHILD S*X PREDATOR RING BUST

A top Israeli cybersecurity official, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, was arrested in Las Vegas during a multi-agency sting operation targeting child s*x predators and faced felony charges of "Luring a Child with Computer for S*x Act." He was released on $10,000 bail after a court appearance and has since returned to Israel, with the circumstances surrounding his release remaining unclear.

Alexandrovich, 38, was apprehended on August 6, 2025, as part of a two-week operation that led to the arrest of eight individuals. He was charged with a felony related to attempting to lure a child for a s*xual act using a computer, a crime that carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in Nevada.

“A multi-agency operation targeting child s*x predators led to the arrest of eight individuals over the last two weeks,” the department said in a release published on Friday. The release lists the names of 38-year-old Tom Artiom Alexandrovich and seven others.

The 38-year-old served as the Executive Director of the Israel Cyber Directorate, a government agency operating under the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He was also described as the head of the Technological Defense Division and the founder of Israel's "Cyber Dome" initiative, which aims to protect the country's critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

PUTIN OFFERED PEACE FOR DONETSK

President Vladimir Putin reportedly told Donald Trump during their Alaska summit that Russia would agree to a peace agreement, rather than a temporary ceasefire, if Ukraine surrendered control of the Donetsk region, a demand that would require Kyiv to cede territory not currently under Russian occupation.

Putin reportedly offered to freeze the frontlines in Ukraine's south and make unspecified territorial concessions in the Sumy and Kharkiv regions in exchange for Ukraine ceding the entire Donetsk region, which is 70% occupied by Russia. He described the Alaska meeting as a "starting point for resolution" and emphasized Russia's "sincere interest" in ending the conflict.

Following the summit, Trump called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European leaders, and indicated that a trilateral meeting between himself, Zelenskyy, and Putin is forthcoming.

Zelensky, who was not invited to the summit, has made it clear he is not willing to discuss ceding any territory, especially land not already controlled by Russian forces, as he believes such a move would embolden further Russian aggression. He has demanded that any future negotiations include Ukraine and that Russia be held accountable.

The Ukrainian leader said he will meet with Trump in Washington, D.C., on Monday, and has warned that sanctions on Russia should be strengthened if a trilateral meeting does not occur or if Russia attempts to evade a genuine peace process.

TRUMP-PUTIN 'EXTREMELY PRODUCTIVE' SUMMIT

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held a summit on Friday, at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska, for high-stakes discussions on Russia's war in Ukraine. The meeting lasted approximately three hours, beginning after 3 p.m. EDT when the two leaders greeted each other on the airport tarmac, and concluded around 7 p.m. EDT with a joint press appearance.

Trump described the talks as "very profound" and "extremely productive," stating that "many points were agreed to" and that he and Putin were in agreement on "most points". He acknowledged that "a couple of big ones" remained unresolved but expressed optimism, saying, "We have a very good chance of getting there". Trump emphasized, "There's no deal until there's a deal," and noted he would contact NATO leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to brief them on the discussions.

Putin also struck a positive tone, hinting that the two sides had reached "agreements," though he did not specify their nature. He stated that U.S.-Russia relations have "fallen to the lowest point since the Cold War" and claimed Trump wanted to address the "crux of the matter" in Ukraine.

The Russian leader asserted that the conflict relates to "fundamental threats to our security" and argued that lasting peace requires eliminating the conflict's root causes. He expressed hope that the agreements reached would serve as a starting point not only for resolving the Ukrainian issue but also for restoring "business-like and pragmatic relations" between the two nations.

ULA LAUNCHES USSF-106 MISSION

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Vulcan rocket launched the USSF-106 mission carrying an experimental navigation satellite for the United States Space Force’s Space Systems Command (SSC) from Space Launch Complex-41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, on August 13, at 0056 UTC. This mission marked the first National Security Space Launch (NSSL) aboard the Vulcan rocket.

USSF-106 was the first certified national security mission for the Vulcan rocket, designated as the 101st national security mission for ULA, and the first flight of the Vulcan Centaur VC4S configuration for the U.S. Space Force.

The Vulcan Centaur rocket stood 62 meter tall and weighed 789, 250 kilograms(kg) powered by two methane-fueled BE-4 engines and four GEM 63XL solid rocket boosters, generating nearly 1,369,777 kg of thrust at liftoff.

The mission carried an experimental navigation satellite into geosynchronous orbit (GEO), about 35,000 kilometers(km) above Earth, using the high-energy Centaur V upper stage, which provided direct injection to GEO.

Vulcan launched with four side-mounted solid rocket boosters(SRB) in order to generate enough thrust to send its payload directly into GEO on one of ULA's longest flights ever, a seven-hour journey that will span over according to ULA.
