The author, a professor in Zurich and a Swiss militia helicopter pilot, explains a recent silence as a result of teaching duties and annual flight training. He describes his responsibilities as a captain, noting the need for a minimum of fifty hours of training each year. The writer also shares personal reflections, mentioning his family—Jocelyne, the children, Gino, Tsigane, and Safira—and his commitment to Switzerland’s defense. He criticises the U.S. president’s actions, describing them as “cowardice” that erodes America’s credibility.

A Purdue University team that searched for Amelia Earhart’s missing Lockheed Electra 10‑E on the remote Pacific island of Nikumaroro has reported a setback. The expedition, which focused on the Taraia Object—a visual anomaly first spotted in satellite imagery in 2020—found no conclusive evidence that the object was aircraft wreckage. Instead, the team concluded the anomaly was likely a collection of large trees deposited along the peninsula’s sandspit. By the time the team arrived, much of the debris had fragmented and washed away, leaving only a single Y‑shaped fragment. The fragment’s reflective surface was caused by a carbonate veneer, and other items found were coated with a shiny concretized amalgam of coral sand. Despite the disappointment, the expedition uncovered several artifacts, including a 30‑inch steel tube, that could help study how debris travels through the lagoon. The team remains hopeful that Earhart may have ended up on Nikumaroro, but no artifacts were conclusively linked to the missing aircraft.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged 9/11 plotters seeking to enforce a plea deal. The men had agreed to life sentences in a 2024 deal signed by a military commission judge. Days later, then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected the proposal, claiming authority to override it. Military courts said Austin had no such power, and an August ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit favored the government. The Supreme Court’s decision removes a barrier to Mohammed’s trial before a military commission in 2028, where the death penalty is possible. Mohammed has been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.

Federal officials carried out a major voter‑fraud operation in Commerce, California, on Monday morning, arresting more than two dozen people accused of registering to vote as noncitizens.

The operation follows a recent DOJ warning that processing ballots from suspected noncitizens could expose election officials to criminal investigation. The arrests come amid heightened tensions between the Trump administration and California over election administration and noncitizen voting allegations ahead of the midterm election.
