More than half a million people in South Korea sat for the country’s grueling university entrance exam on Thursday as police mobilized to ensure they made it to the test sites on time and all flights were halted for half an hour.
The number sitting the test, essential to secure a place at the country’s top universities, was the highest in seven years. Most of the candidates were born in 2007 when there was a surge in births because it was considered an auspicious time to have a baby.
Flights at all airports, including Incheon International Airport, were banned from landing or takeoff between 1:05 p.m. and 1:40 p.m. to ensure there was no disturbance while the students sat for the listening comprehension section of the English test.
The decision affected 140 flights, including 65 international arrivals and departures. Flight trackers showed aircraft circling near airports as the Transport Ministry restricted aircraft from altitudes below 3,000 meters (9843 ft).
Financial markets and offices opened an hour later than usual to ensure test candidates arrived on time for the nine-hour exam that is seen as crucial for success in the hyper-competitive society.
“This exam has been a goal for nearly 20 years and also a new beginning,” said Yeseon Kim, who was waiting outside a test site where her daughter was sitting the exam.
A total of 554,174 people registered this year, up 6% from last year and the highest since 2019. Some 496,000 babies were born in 2007 in a jump that paused a steady decline since the mid-1990s.
South Korea is one of the world’s fastest-aging societies, although its birthrate rose to 0.75 in 2024.

Researchers say they verified and sequenced Hitler’s DNA. What they discovered is a controversial bombshell
By Katie Hunt, CNN Updated: 8:52 AM EST, Fri November 14, 2025
Researchers have analyzed a sample of DNA believed to belong to Adolf Hitler, which they say reveals thedictator of Nazi Germany had a genetic marker for a rare disorder that can delay puberty, according to a new documentary.
The research, which took more than four years to complete, was led by geneticist Turi King, a professor at the UK’s University of Bath who is known for identifying the remains of King Richard III.King said she verified that a piece of material taken from a couch in the bunker where Hitler shot himself in 1945 was soaked in the dictator’s blood by comparing a DNA sample recovered from the blood with a confirmed relative of Hitler’s.
In addition to suggesting the possibility thatHitler had a hormone-disrupting congenital condition called Kallmann syndrome, the documentary examined rumors that the dictator had Jewish ancestryand looked at whether he had a genetic predisposition to certain mental health conditions. Called “Hitler’s DNA: Blueprint of a Dictator,” the documentary premieres Saturday on Channel 4 in the UK.
However, the findings shared in the documentary haven’t been reviewed by other scientists in the field or published in a scientific journal,making it hard for experts not involved in the project to evaluate the validity of its assertions. King said that the analysis had been submitted to a “high-profile” journal and said she hopes the work will be published soon.
The small patch offrayed fabric started its journey in 1945 in the hands of US Army Col. Roswell P. Rosengren, who was communications officer for Gen. Dwight D Eisenhower.When Rosengren was allowed into Hitler’s bunker by Soviet forces, he cut a swatch of material from a bloodstained couch, according to the documentary. The swatch stayed in Rosengren’s family before being put up for sale at auction in 2014 and purchased by the Gettysburg Museum of History in Pennsylvania.
“We didn’t know what we were going to find,” King said. “It could have been the most boring genome on the planet, but it has been incredible.”The most striking finding from the team’s analysis was that Hitler had a mutation on a gene called PROK2. Variants in this gene are a cause of Kallmann syndrome and congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, King said. In boys, these conditions can delay puberty andcause undescended testicles.
“Basically, they are characterized by low testosterone levels. You either don’t go through puberty or you go through a partial puberty … 5% of cases get associated with a micropenis, ” King said,referring to a small but normally structured penis.
Clues in the historical record
At the time of his death, Hitler was observed at the end of the sofa with a gun and blood splattered on the couch and the wall behind him, said Nicholas F. Bellantoni, emeritus state archaeologist with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History. He examined parts of the sofa, which is now in Russia, in 2009.
“If the provenance of the sofa material used is confirmed to have come from the Bunker and from the settee that Hitler and Eva Braun died on, then the likelihood of the blood having come from Hitler is very good,” Bellantoni said by email.
The new details that King put forth appear to align with the historical record, according to Alex Kay, an expert on Nazi Germany and senior lecturer at the Chair of War Studies at Germany’s University of Potsdam. Kay also appeared in the documentary.
He noted that a medical document from Hitler’s stay in prison after a failed coup known as the Munich beer hall putsch in 1923 suggested the dictator had right-side cryptorchidism — a condition in which a testicle fails to descend into the scrotum.
“The discovery of Kallmann syndrome is, for me, personally, as a historian and as somebody who has spent more than 20 years researching the Nazis, a major finding,” Kay said. He added the information potentially explained Hitler’s lack of personal relationships.
Kay and King said the findings also put to rest lingering rumors that Hitler had Jewish ancestry — speculation that stemmed from Hitler’s grandmother becoming pregnant while working in a Jewish household, according to the documentary.

Because the Y chromosome data analyzed in the researchmatched the DNA of Hitler’s male line relative, King said it’s not possible Hitler had Jewish ancestry.“If that was the case, we wouldn’t have got the DNA match with him,” King said. “That DNA match not only confirmed that this is Hitler’s DNA but also confirms that that story of human Jewish ancestry through his father is just simply not true.”
The value of historical DNA
King said she had some initial reservations about taking part in the documentary but decided to participate because she felt her expertise would ensure that the analysis was scientifically rigorous. “This is also not just a documentary but an academic paper,” she said, adding she had no publication date to offer.
Scientists have previously used DNA to study well-known historical figures. Beethoven’s DNA, recovered from a lock of hair, revealed that the composer had health issues.
Archaeologists also widely use ancient DNA from human remains.
However, without information on the quality of the genome, the raw data or how the analyses were done, it is not possible to assess the assertions made in the documentary, according to Pontus Skoglund, senior group leader of the Ancient Genomics Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute in London.
“Stepping back, the scientific value of a media campaign such as this balanced against the possible stigmatization of individuals with these real diseases today can also be questioned,” Skoglund said. He added that the researchers could have shared the findings with the scientific community on what’s known as a preprint server before a formal peer review and publication in an established journal.
It’s plausible that historical DNA could be extracted from the piece of cloth, but there has to be good justification for studying the DNA from historical figures and a defined set of questions, said Tom Booth, Skoglund’s colleague and a bioarchaeologist at the Francis Crick Institute.
“There are extensive historical records documenting the behaviour of Hitler in public and private,” Booth said via email.“(H)e is probably one of the most intensively studied figures in history, so I think it’s difficult to argue the DNA evidence adds much in this regard.
“Even the Kallmann syndrome diagnosis might not be as straightforward as the headlines suggest. There can be a lot of variation in how it manifests physically, and while it is a plausible explanation for his undescended testicle, it doesn’t justify the amount of ‘micropenis’ in my newsfeed.”
A ‘small, small puzzle piece’
The researchers also said they calculated a polygenic risk score, which involves sifting through a person’s DNA to quantify disease risk. Their findings suggested that Hitler had an increased genetic predisposition to schizophrenia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism.
However, polygenic risk score is a tool used today for research purposes — it’s not diagnostic and doesn’t mean that Hitler necessarily had these conditions, said Ditte Demontis, a professor in psychiatric genetics at Denmark’s Aarhus University, who was involved in the research and appears in the documentary.
“Currently, we are at a state where polygenic risk scores for psychiatric conditions are only used in the context of research,” Demontis emphasized. “We can say something at a group level but not an individual level.”
Demontis compared Hitler’s polygenic risk score with those of 30,000Danish people and found that if Hitler lived today “his score for schizophrenia, autism and bipolar disorder was actually higher than 99% of the individuals in the Danish population.” It is also rare to have a high polygenic risk score for all three conditions, she added.
“It’s not diagnostic, and I also want to stress that the score absolutely by no means leads to any certain kinds of behavior or actions,” Demontis said.
King agreed. “We are at great, great pain not to stigmatize people with these conditions, because, you know … it’s incredibly rare that people with these conditions go on to commit violent acts,” she said.
“And the other thing is that Hitler did not act alone, he had hundreds and thousands of people who helped him,” King noted. “They’re not all going to have the same genetic makeup as him. His genetics is just a small, small puzzle piece.”

California revokes 17,000 commercial driver's licenses for immigrants
The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally.

California plans to revoke 17,000 commercial driver's licenses given to immigrants after discovering the expiration dates went past when the drivers were legally allowed to be in the U.S., state officials said Wednesday. The announcement follows harsh criticism from the Trump administration about California and other states granting licenses to people in the country illegally. The issue was thrust into the public's consciousness in August, when a tractor-trailer driver not authorized to be in the U.S. made an illegal U-turn and caused a crash in Florida that killed three people.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Wednesday thatCalifornia's action to revoke these licenses is an admission that the state acted improperly even though it previously defended its licensing standards. California launched its review of commercial driver's licenses it issued after Duffy raised concerns.
"After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed. Now that we've exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked," Duffy said, referring to the state's governor. "This is just the tip of iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses."
Newsom's office said that every one of the drivers whose license is being revoked had valid work authorizations from the federal government. At first, his office declined to disclose the exact reason for revoking the licenses, saying only they violated state law. Later, his office revealed the state law it was referring to was one that requires the licenses expire on or before a person's legal status to be in the United State ends, as reported to the DMV.
Still, Newsom's spokesperson Brandon Richards shot back at Duffy in a statement.
"Once again, the Sean 'Road Rules' Duffy fails to share the truth — spreading easily disproven falsehoods in a sad and desperate attempt to please his dear leader," Richards said. Fatal truck crashes in Texas and Alabama earlier this year also highlight questions about these licenses. A fiery California crash that killed three people last month involved a truck driver in the country illegally, only adding to the concerns.
Duffy previously imposed new restrictions on which immigrants can qualify for commercial driver's licenses. He said earlier this fall that California and five other states had improperly issued commercial driver's licenses to noncitizens, but California is the only state Duffy has taken action against because it was the first one where an audit was completed. The reviews in the other states have been delayed by the government shutdown, but the Transportation Department is urging all of them to tighten their standards.
Duffy revoked $40 million in federal funding because he said California isn't enforcing English language requirements for truckers, and he reiterated Wednesday that he will take another $160 million from the state over these improperly issued licensesif they don't invalidate every illegal license and address all the concerns. But revoking these licenses is part of the state's effort to comply.
The new rules for commercial driver's licenses that Duffy announced in September make getting them extremely hard for immigrants becauseonly three specific classes of visa holders will be eligible. States will also have to verify an applicant's immigration status in a federal database. The licenses will be valid for up to one year unless the applicant's visa expires sooner.
Under the new rules, only 10,000 of the 200,000 noncitizens who have commercial licenses would qualify for them, which would only be available to drivers who have an H-2a, H-2b or E-2 visa. H-2a is for temporary agricultural workers while H-2b is for temporary nonagricultural workers, and E-2 is for people who make substantial investments in a U.S. business. But the rules won't be enforced retroactively, so those 190,000 drivers will be allowed to keep their commercial licenses at least until they come up for renewal.
Duffy said in September that investigators found that one quarter of the 145 licenses they reviewed in California shouldn't have been issued. He cited four California licenses that remained valid after the driver's work permit expired — sometimes years after. Newsom's office said the state followed guidance it received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security about issuing these licenses to noncitizens.

Trump defends his MAGA bona fides amid backlash from his base
After GOP election losses and an interview with Fox News, some of Trump's supporters have expressed concerns that the president's priorities aren't aligned enough with his base.
Nov. 13, 2025, 2:48 PM EST By Matt Dixon and Allan SmithNBC NEWS Pushing hard to get the anger in Maga
Note part of long article, Sundance wrote and article last week, that all the Sea Island Oligarchs Dems and Reps are banding together, Ingrahm and Levin involved, to take Trump out, and Prevent any Maga First Republicans from getting elected in 2026 and 2028)
Here’s proof of it and Anti Maga group want to take overClip from article:
“When they departed Sea Island, eventually the professional Republicans (GOPe) ended up settling on supporting Hillary Clinton, because Donald Trump could not be defeated within the confines of the party apparatus and became the presumptive nominee. The tech group from Sea Island was already part of the Hillary Clinton alignment, and the “political influence agents” also saw Hillary as the comfortable, predictable and non-disruptive candidate. The key underpinning all of them was “anyone but Trump.”
President Donald Trump’s once unquestioned grip on his MAGA political base is showing signs of strain as some of his supporters have started pushing back on White House policy proposals they see as contrary to his long-held promises on immigration and the economy.
As Trump takes heat from even the most loyal segments of his political base, he has remained defiant. “MAGA was my idea. MAGA was nobody else’s idea,” Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham in an interview that aired Monday. “I know what MAGA wants better than anybody else, and MAGA wants to see our country thrive.”
Trump remains popular with Republicans, and he’s still able to make or break candidates in Republican primaries — 88% of Republican registered voters approved of Trump in the latest NBC News poll, conducted in late October, before the latest elections. Among voters who consider themselves part of the MAGA movement, it’s even higher — 96% — highlighting the loyalty he commands from core supporters.
But there’s a belief among some of Trump’s MAGA supporters that is spilling out online that the president is increasingly swayed by wealthy donors who have access to him at private White House events, his exclusive Mar-a-Lago club and the luxury boxes he sits in when he attends sporting events, including a Washington Commanders football game on Sunday.
“President Trump is instinctually America First, but things are seriously askew,” said Paul Dans, the architect of Project 2025 who is running against Trump-endorsed Sen. Lindsey Graham in South Carolina’s GOP primary. “America First is experiencing a hijacking right now. He’s [Trump’s] getting bad advice and is being kept in a bubble.”
It’s a shift in focus that some on the right say can be traced back to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the influential conservative leader of Turning Point USA who was gunned down in September. “Charlie Kirk was the last person who could walk into the Oval Office and speak on behalf of the base,” Mike Cernovich, a prominent MAGA social media personality, posted on X. “Now it’s all donors.”
The White House pushed back on the idea that Trump is distancing himself from the ethos of his MAGA agenda on key policy planks, such as on H-1B visas. “In record time, President Trump has done more than any president in modern history to tighten our immigration laws and put American workers first,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration had to contend with another issue that has divided and frustrated his base: the case of Jeffrey Epstein. The House Oversight Committee released more than 20,000 pages of Epstein emails — some of which discussed Trump. A bipartisan pair of House lawmakers also secured enough signatures — including from some Trump allies — to force a vote in the coming days compelling the Justice Department to release all of its documents in the Epstein case against Trump’s wishes.
A Trump ally said that if the issues prompting loud online pushback continue, there could be broader political problems electorally for Trump and Republicans. But, they said, they are not convinced that point has been reached yet, because past base concern has often been overblown.
“Sure, could this all end up adding up and become a real problem? Yes, it could,” said the person, who, like others in this article, was granted anonymity to speak candidly. “But that, I do not think, is the point we are at yet. Worth watching, sure, but I think much of this will pass.” continued

Second Smear article today, saying the same, Trump is losing base support. There will be more everyday, put on the armor of God, pray for Trump and MAGA
Two Smear pieces on Trump and the MAGA movement come out in one Day, what are the odds of that, NBC and NYT?Watch out there be more coming daily. I knew it was a mistake being interviewed by Ingraham, her and Levin hate him. If MAGA falls for this, I’d be disappointed, all supposed Maga voted quoted, were 500% never going to vote for Trump in 2024. Lots for fake MAGA comments.
America First? Some Trump Supporters Worry That’s No Longer the Case.
President Trump has been dining with billionaires and has taken a keen interest in crises overseas, leading to fears that he is drifting away from his more populist stances.
Nov. 14, 2025
President Trump has been dining with Wall Street bigwigs. He has embarked on an opulent revamp of the White House at a time when Americans are struggling to pay their bills. He has expressed support for granting visas to skilled foreigners to take jobs in the United States. He approved a $20 billion bailout for Argentina, helping a foreign government and wealthy investors at a moment when the U.S. government was shut down.
For a president who returned to office promising to avoid foreign entanglements, make life more affordable and ensure that available jobs go to American citizens, it has been a significant departure from the expectations of his loyal base. And it is starting to open a rift with his supporters who were counting on a more aggressively populist agenda.
The divisions within Mr. Trump’s movement, spawned by his own actions, have been only amplified by the latest developments on a story that he has been doing his best to quash: his relationship with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Much of the president’s MAGA movement, andmany of his top aides, pushed for years for all the investigative files on the Epstein case to be made public, insisting that a rich and well-connected man — and his network of wealthy and powerful friends — needed to be held accountable for any abuse of young women.
But Mr. Trump, who has emphatically denied any involvement in or knowledge of Mr. Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation, showed again this week that he was resisting further disclosures, leaving a small but vocal group of Republicans angry over his about-face, and risking a further rupture in the movement heading into next year’s midterm elections.
“When they’re protecting pedophiles, when they are blowing our budget, when they are starting their wars overseas, I’m sorry, I can’t go along with that,” RepresentativeThomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, said on CNN this week. “And back home, people agree with me. They understand. Even the most ardent Trump supporters understand.”
Trump allies are aware that his more populist message has become muddled in recent months, as the president has spent time courting wealthy donors and making no secret of his desire to win a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on foreign conflicts.
Mr. Trump told aides recently that he might attend the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, a gathering of the political and business elite, according to two people familiar with the matter. Some of his advisers, however, feel such a trip would send the wrong message at a moment when they are trying to recapture a political edge on the economy.
And as some Republicans called on Mr. Trump to become more involved in negotiations to end the longest government shutdown in American history, he largely kept the issue at a distance. During that time, he hosted dinners for wealthy donors of his ballroom project, provided social media updates about his White House bathroom renovation and held a lavish “Great Gatsby” Halloween party with the theme “a little party never killed nobody.”
In recent days, particularly as the shutdown has come to an end, his administration has shifted to talking more about affordability. That was the main message coming out of the White House on Wednesday, when Congressional lawmakers released the latest trove of Epstein emails.
“As the architect of the MAGA movement, President Trump will always put America First,” Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement. “Every single day he’s working hard to continue fulfilling the many promises he made and he will continue delivering.”
Mr. Trump has repeatedly insisted, wrongly, that grocery prices are down….

Anons what do you think of this, in order to destroy the Epstein Rummerler, Barry episodes and people craving for more info, I think the DOJ should release as much as they can for researchers and let them go at it for two years like here.
The only way to stop the gossip is to release all they can, not hiding Israel's and other countries sabotage of America will have to be known.
thx anon.
Cool, maybe the WH has been hacked, and some forces are trying to hear all the conversations. Hence the music.
Or maybe Trump is casting out demons there with music. Honestly, knowing the darkness of DC, it's a surprise he and his family can live there
I'm sorry I still don't believe that. Maybe the team burned all the data and proof before Kash showed up. Four short paragraphs on X is never proof.
Kash is being stupid if he believes everything former Directors and agents did. It's just unbelievable how loyal he is to a team that can be embedded with evil doers.
Kash got that info from a report, was he there, did he verify with others?
Kash should get Kyle Seraphin and other respectable agents to come in and review the process, and all the agents there. All agents know who the bad guys are there still. Bring in outside reliable investigators for Kash and Dan to be sure they are not treating him like an idiot. They could identify the embeds. (PS Kyle and others are not at all impressed with Kash. Him fighting on X trying to protect his girlfriend was childish and stupid. Have we ever heard about any Directors wife or girlfiend, Never, its not at all appropriate, and can't she stand up for herself.) The more he does it, the more suspicious people get. This is not what leadership of FBI does on X. He just gave enemies things about himself that could be exploited. You protect your girlfriend in high school and college, but not a major leader of FBI Agency. He revealed he has very thin skin.
Kash should stop being so aggressive with people that question the FBI. The FBI agents and agency needs 5-10 straight years of telling the truth and proving it, so at some point we can believe anything the say.
Plus Kash's bullshit statement of Charlie's killer was said and that was it, Nothing more to say, he said it was true so it's true! Done, doorshut.
He gave no real evidence, except some pathetic chat logs, of him and his gag girlfriend, that just sounded made up. That was the last we heard anything. Are they still investigating his Charlie's death, or did they close the case?
The FBI leadership and agents, have lied ever since they were created. And no offense but Kash and Bongino will never know everything on the 50,000 employees.
How do they know if the last Admin didn't ship out the real FBI agents that were criminals for Obama and Bidan; to offices around America or in Foreign Countries, so they can still be embedded.
People giving Kash a report of how hard the agency worked, when he came in, doesn't prove all of that is done or even ongoing. If they found nothing else of Crooks, then they failed.
Of all people Kash, should be the most suspicious when the FBI agents tell him, we are doing everything straight up.
Release all the evidence, and let us read it, only then will we believe it.
Kash sounds like he's way over his head, Judicial Watch doesn't lie. He needs mentoring from an old time FBI leadership that retired with full and complete honors.
One retired CIA said Tulsi would never know when and what they were lying about and she needed to get honest retired impeccable agents to work side by side with her; so she can find out everything.
Maybe Kash and Dan needs that ASAP.
Like CIA the FBI is trained to lie and you'll never know they are lying.
OK AI did the first two paragraphs of that statement.
Kash didn't have any FBI that were hackers, the hackers would have found his footprint.
Is Kash really saying, Crooks outfoxed the whole agency. Sounds pretty unlikely.
Kash needs an Intervention and deprogramming sessions, many with successful Agent leaders.
This post isnotableRarely is there something so stupid done, that droves of investigators online, come up with rational thoughts and proof. and lots of questions.
WTH, after Trump saves Israel's ass and helps Bibi, to get peace with neighbors at least Levin and Klein are calling for the death of anyone that doesn't support Israel. These statements will only make more people question Israel's motives.
Neither Levin or Klein are thankful to Trump and America.
The jews are calling for killing all non jews. Not just their enemies.
