The post Paul Skenes Wins NL Cy Young As Speculaticom. Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes delivers in the fourth inning of a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds, Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025, in Cincinnati. (AP Photo/Michael Swensen) Naturally as might be expect, the Yankees are among those viewed as a destination for the Skenes sometime in the upcoming future. It is a story that gained some legs on Wednesday on the second day of the GM meetings in Las Vegas when NJ. com published a story about a teammate from Pittsburgh saying how Skenes seemingly dreams of playing for the Yankees at some point. So far Skenes’ lone experience with the Yankees was a two-inning cameo on the final Saturday of the 2024 season at Yankee Stadium when he struck out Juan Soto and Aaron Judge as gymnast girlfriend Livvy Dunne cheered him on. That was at the end of his rookie season when he beat Jackson Merrill for Rookie of the Year while joining a 76-win team so there was no speculation then but it figures to be the kind of thing to appear now and occasionally in the future until the Pirates lock him up to a long-term deal or actually trade him. It is not quite like Gerrit Cole going to the World Series in 2001 as a child with a sign proclaiming his massive Yankee fandom but it is out there so much to the point that GM Ben Cherrington even addressed the topic. “What we’re going to.

One of the emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein recently released by the House Oversight Committee reportedly shows correspondence with Steve Bannon one of President Donald Trump’s longtime advisors about getting Trump’s embattled second Supreme Court nominee through a major controversy. On Wednesday, journalist Sean Morrow of More Perfect Union posted a September 2018 email exchange between Epstein and Bannon, in which the two are seen discussing a potential line of attack on Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. According to the emails, Epstein suggested that then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s attorneys press Ford who accused Kavanaugh of assaulting her at a high school party on medications she may have been using that can sometimes cause memory loss.”I delayed my trip a day. So I’m still around,” Epstein wrote from a personal gmail account. “Tell [Kavanaugh attorney Bill Burck] they should make sure they ask Ford about her medications, what type and for how long. My guess is that [Ford lawyer Debra Katz] won’t let her answer. Roger,” Bannon responded. Epstein then sent Bannon another email with a link to a 2015 Pharmacy Times article entitled “8 Medications That May Cause Memory Loss.” Bannon wrote back: “Is this a hint,” with Epstein replying: “Duh.”The convicted child predator then sent Bannon a link to a 2017 University of São Paulo study entitled “false memories in social anxiety disorder,” followed by another correspondence that read: “She couldn’t recall if the lie detector was given the same day as her mother’s funeral or the next day? MEDS. Oh I get it now,” Bannon wrote back. Even though Bannon was no longer Trump’s White House chief strategist after August of 2017, the Washington Post reported several months after his firing that Bannon and Trump regularly kept in touch in regular phone calls that Trump himself usually initiated. Bannon still called Trump “sir” even though he was no longer an administration employee, according to the Post. Morrow wrote that while the email address Epstein had been corresponding with was redacted, he determined the recipient was Bannon, as previous exchanges with that recipient mentioned that they had been on comedian Bill Maher’s show. Morrow reported that he verified that Bannon was indeed a guest on Maher’s program on the night in question.
The post The $100M Built Network Blending Blockchain, AI, & Privacy appeared com. Crypto Presales Discover how Zero Knowledge Proof’s $100M built-first network with encrypted smart contracts and live AI compute is redefining blockchain and emerging as a top crypto to buy in 2025. In a market filled with projects that sell promises long before delivering results, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) has reversed the model entirely. It built everything before selling anything. With over $100 million invested in infrastructure, testnet live on day one, and AI compute integration, ZKP isn’t pitching a concept; it’s presenting a finished product. Now entering its whitelist phase, ZKP is being touted as a frontrunner among the top cryptocurrencies to buy in 2025. It represents a new class of blockchain project, one that combines operational credibility with privacy-focused technology designed for large-scale enterprise and AI adoption. A Build-First Approach That Changed the Game ZKP’s approach breaks the unspoken rule of the crypto market: don’t build until you raise. Instead, the team delivered a functioning ecosystem before opening its presale. The result is a network that already supports real-time computation, proof generation, and privacy-preserving transactions. The four-layer architecture that powers ZKP is already operational: Hybrid Consensus Layer: Merges Proof-of-Intelligence and Proof-of-Space to balance computation and energy efficiency. Execution Layer: Enables private smart contracts compatible with both EVM and WASM standards. Zero-Knowledge Layer: Handles real-time proof compression and verification for scalability. Storage Layer: Integrates IPFS and Filecoin for decentralized, encrypted data handling. This infrastructure doesn’t just exist in theory; it’s already running compute tasks that demonstrate how blockchain and AI can coexist securely. That early functionality gives ZKP a credibility advantage that few other presales can claim, and solidifies its place among the top crypto to buy before 2026. Where Privacy Meets Productivity The defining feature of the ZKP ecosystem is its privacy-first compute model. Every process, from validation to.
The post US House votes on ending US government shutdown WSJ appeared com. The House of Representatives was approaching a final vote late Wednesday on legislation to end the longest government shutdown in US history, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. The bill, which passed the Senate on Monday, has sizable momentum, and its approval by the House would clear it for US President Donald Trump’s signature. Market reaction At the time of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is up 0. 05% on the day at 99. 50. US Dollar FAQs The US Dollar (USD) is the official currency of the United States of America, and the ‘de facto’ currency of a significant number of other countries where it is found in circulation alongside local notes. It is the most heavily traded currency in the world, accounting for over 88% of all global foreign exchange turnover, or an average of $6. 6 trillion in transactions per day, according to data from 2022. Following the second world war, the USD took over from the British Pound as the world’s reserve currency. For most of its history, the US Dollar was backed by Gold, until the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971 when the Gold Standard went away. The most important single factor impacting on the value of the US Dollar is monetary policy, which is shaped by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed has two mandates: to achieve price stability (control inflation) and foster full employment. Its primary tool to achieve these two goals is by adjusting interest rates. When prices are rising too quickly and inflation is above the Fed’s 2% target, the Fed will raise rates, which helps the USD value. When inflation falls below 2% or the Unemployment Rate is too high, the Fed may lower interest rates, which weighs on the Greenback. In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve can also print more Dollars and enact quantitative easing.
