More troubling reports emerged this week out of Minnesota. Following a steady stream of news regarding corruption investigations, widespread fraud, and unchecked immigration across the state, a cyberattack reportedly targeted dozens of water facilities. While early reports signaled it could’ve been an Iranian strike, President Donald Trump soon shut down such speculation. As Fox News reported:   “I just want to mention that we heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack, and they blame it on Iran,” he said at the start of a Cabinet meeting Friday at Camp David, Maryland. “I don’t think so. I think I blame it on Minnesota because they’re grossly incompetent,” Trump said. “There was a cyberattack of 30 water plants, and I would blame it on Minnesota and the governor, the corrupt governor of Minnesota. They like to say, oh, is Iran? Iran should be so lucky. Iran’s got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota.” Trump’s dismissal puts him at odds with a preliminary assessment reportedly shared by U.S. and state officials and comes days after federal agencies warned that Iranian-affiliated hackers were targeting the same kinds of systems. Iranian involvement and poor cybersecurity are not mutually exclusive: previous Iranian-linked attacks on U.S. water facilities exploited internet-connected equipment protected by default or nonexistent passwords.     News of the attack soon sparked social media discussion: nah it was democrat incompetence — Jason (@Jason1125000) July 31, 2026   Why Minnesota? I call bs! It's more likely tied to our state leaders! — Millie Brown (@mcbsib69) July 31, 2026 ABC News added these details: “I think that Minnesota ought to get its act together. It’s one of the worst run states,” he told ABC News’ Mary Bruce when she asked about the attack. Walz pushed back against Trump in statements on social media Friday. “Trump knows exactly who is responsible for this attack, and knows that other states were hit too. This is what modern warfare looks like, and it further illustrates there’s no plan to win a war with Iran,” he said. Here’s some additional coverage: What are your thoughts?

It’s not immediately clear what led to the crash. An aerial photo shows the smoking aircraft on the ground in what appeared to be an open field at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Another image shows multiple vehicles and multiple responders on the scene. The hatch of the plane appears to be open. Footage taken by CBS affiliate KFMB-TV’s helicopter shows responders working to put out the fire. The CBS News Confirmed team was able to verify social media videos that showed a plume of black smoke emitting from the plane as responders spray it with fire retardant. The pilot has not been identified. The Marine Corps said in a statement that the pilot was assigned to Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing. A Marine Corps spokesperson described the crash as a “class A mishap,” which is the most severe classification used by the U.S. military and federal agencies. More information will be released once it’s available. An F-35 fighter jet crashed near a Marine Corps base in San Diego on Friday, sparking a small fire.

In March, a U.S. Air Force F-35A crashed in Nevada; the pilot ejected safely and sustained only minor injuries. In July 2025, a pilot ejected after an F-35 crashed near Naval Air Station Lemoore in central California. The F-35 is considered the most advanced war plane in the world. The Pentagon purchased jets in three styles: F-35A for the Air Force, F-35B for the Marines and F-35C for the Navy. The F-35B can take off and land vertically, similar to how a helicopter takes off and lands. The warplane represents the most expensive weapons system in the U.S. military arsenal. The Pentagon is projected to spend $1.7 trillion on nearly 2,500 F-35s, according to a GAO report released in 2023. The program has faced severe maintenance problems, military service depot delays and inadequate equipment costs for the fighter jets. Concerns about the cost of this plane have been aired publicly, including by President Donald Trump. Before his first term in office, he said the F-35 program was “out of control” and vowed to rein in its costs, which have only since grown.

Hey there, Noah here, and you have to see this… A new breakthrough from Korea can reduce crow’s feet, sagging, and crepey skin by 48%. That’s right – by almost HALF! In a groundbreaking study using high-definition 3D skin scans… Women saw their wrinkles literally disappear before their eyes. No expensive creams or painful injections. The reason it works so well is because it activates the key cells in your skin that produce ALL your collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. It turns out, while creams can give short-term, surface level results… They never truly fix the root cause of wrinkles, sagging, or crepey skin. No wonder 8 out of 10 women say they are left wanting more from their creams. Ivy League dermatologist, Dr. Mara Weinstein explains how this new Korean breakthrough works: Try this Korean “younger skin” method at home in just 30 seconds If you want skin that looks 10 to 15 years younger, try this today. Tracey Colone from Rainbow City, Alabama said: “Wow, I cannot believe what a difference this has made in reducing the visibility of my wrinkles and firming up the skin on my neck, too… the woman at the grocery store told me I look amazing. That really made my day!” Enjoy and Cheers! -Noah (Note: Thank you for supporting businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message in this article and ordering through the included links, which benefits WLTReport.

CBS Sports has placed NFL analyst Tony Romo on leave “until further notice” following his arrest in Wisconsin last week on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated (OWI). “Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice,” the network said in a statement. Former NFL Quarterback Tony Romo Arrested   ESPN shared further: Romo received three citations from the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office following a July 23 traffic stop after he was seen passing cars in a gore area, which separates interstate traffic from cars entering from an on-ramp. He performed poorly on field sobriety tests and was taken into custody, booked and released. Meanwhile, former NFL star J.J. Watt will fill Romo's role on the network's top team with Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson. Watt, a three-time NFL defensive player of the year, usually works with Ian Eagle on the network's No. 2 team. CBS Sports announced that lead NFL color commentator Tony Romo has been placed on indefinite leave. J.J. Watt will be Romo's replacement, @AdamSchefter pic.twitter.com/u1TLpwhDCR — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) July 31, 2026 More from the New York Post: The disheveled ex-Cowboys QB told officers he had “zero” drinks and was on his way to visit “grandma and grandpa.” Seemingly surprised at being pulled over, Romo said he planned to call his attorney when instructed to step out of his car for a sobriety test and began to film the interaction on his phone. “Because I’m coming from a golf course you think I’m drunk?” he asked during his back-and-forth with officers before being cuffed and placed in the back of a cruiser. One officer claimed Romo had an “open bottle of an alcoholic beverage” located on the passenger side of his black Jeep, according to a third citation viewed by The Post, performed poorly on field sobriety tests, and was later cited for “refuse to take test for intoxication after arrest.” “I’ve heard from all the lawyers don’t ever do that,” he told officers. “So, we’re not going to do that.” A spokesperson for the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s office told The Post this week that because of the allegations against Romo, the case is “a traffic violation and not a criminal charge in Wisconsin.” He is scheduled for a court hearing on Sept. 21, but is not required to attend. He faces a total of $1,568.50 in fines. Watch footage from the arrest HERE. Bodycam Footage From Tony Romo Arrest Released – “I’m Going To Meet Grandma And Grandpa” What are your thoughts?

Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ), the ranking member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, sent a letter to SpaceXAI CEO Elon Musk demanding answers about the company’s Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 data centers. The data center sites, which operate near the Tennessee-Mississippi border, are accused of harming local communities. Mississippi Mayor Allegedly Tells Resident To “Consider Selling” Home Amid Noise Complaints About Plant Powering Nearby Data Centers “Communities across the nation are frustrated and angry about the pace of giant data centers being constructed in their back yards,” Pallone wrote in his letter to Musk. “Americans are concerned about what data centers and Big Tech’s push for more AI means for their communities, jobs, property values, and future. Electricity prices are skyrocketing, the electric grid is strained, our clean air and water are being polluted, and noise is wearing on communities’ health and patience," Pallone continued. “What has also become apparent from my examination of data centers is your company’s disregard for the health and well-being of local communities,” Pallone wrote to Musk. “Your rapid rollout of gas-powered turbines into vulnerable communities without adequate oversight or regulation creates a massive health risk to those communities. And any potential savings to the community’s electricity costs resulting from trucking in off-grid gas turbines comes at great cost to their health. This is an unacceptable trade-off," he continued. US House Democrat asks Musk to answer for polluting xAI data centers https://t.co/rYMbGNlE2O https://t.co/rYMbGNlE2O — Reuters (@Reuters) July 30, 2026 Reuters has more: The letter follows growing scrutiny of the energy demands and environmental impacts of AI data centers as technology ​companies race ​to expand computing ⁠capacity. Reuters reported this month that Musk's AI company xAI had installed 59 natural gas turbines ​for its Colossus 2 project without securing ​federal ⁠clean-air permits, according to communications between regulators and company representatives. Reuters found the turbines were located near predominantly Black ⁠communities and ​that potential emissions exceeded thresholds ​that would typically require federal permits. "SpaceXAI’s Colossus 1 data center is powered by 35 gas-powered turbines, making the site the third-largest source of ozone-causing pollution in Shelby County, Tennessee – ahead of a nearby refinery and power plant – all without any air permits or protections, in violation of the Clean Air Act," a press release from Energy & Commerce Committee Democrats read. "Just five miles away, on the other side of the border in Mississippi, SpaceXAI has trucked in at least 60 gas-powered turbines for its Colossus 2 data center – all of which are also operating without air permits or safeguards. According to one analysis, this makes the Colossus 2 turbines the largest source of pollution in the Memphis area – five times as polluting as the next largest source, the Memphis airport – and the largest emitter of nitrogen oxide in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas," it continued. "Of all the companies involved in the meetings with Committee staff, SpaceXAI has been the least willing to answer questions. At a meeting with Committee staff last month, SpaceXAI representatives were unwilling to engage in serious discussion and were the least knowledgeable about the company’s actions and plans," the press release stated. "Taken together, the turbines at Colossus 2 are capable of annually pumping out approximately 5,000 tons of nitrogen oxide, over 7,000 tons of carbon monoxide, nearly 200 tons of sulfur dioxide, hundreds of tons of volatile organic compounds, hundreds of tons of particulate matter, and over 40 tons of formaldehyde, which is toxic even in small amounts," Pallone wrote in his letter to Musk. "This represents an astounding increase in emissions in the Memphis area making it a major source of criteria and hazardous air pollutants," the letter continued. "These emissions present numerous health risks to the population, including aggravation and development of asthma, respiratory infections, and cardiovascular disease," it added. SpaceX faces House Energy Committee demand to tour its AI data centers in Memphis https://t.co/zW3PxybsuV — CNBC (@CNBC) July 30, 2026 CNBC shared further: SpaceX’s artificial intelligence facilities, known as Colossus and Colossus 2, include three data centers packed with cutting-edge Nvidia processors. They were built by xAI, before SpaceX acquired Musk’s startup, which is the developer of Grok’s AI models, chatbot and image editing tools. The facilities are at the heart of SpaceX’s AI ambitions, as the company tries to compete with the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic, and to eventually build orbital data centers. Pallone excoriated SpaceX and Musk for a “disregard for the health and well-being of local communities.” He said the company has created “a massive health risk” to neighbors by “trucking in off-grid gas turbines” to power the facilities, all without the proper permits and pollution controls. President Trump’s Department of Justice has filed a motion to intervene, and to effectively help xAI fight off a lawsuit, which was filed by environmental advocates and the NAACP in Mississippi to stop the company’s use of allegedly illegal, air-polluting turbines. “The Trump Administration has essentially claimed that it alone decides whether SpaceXAI and other companies get a free pass to pollute unimpeded,” Pallone wrote. “But just because the Trump Administration will bend over backward to give tech companies free rein over community air, water, and land does not make your actions legal.” New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, enacted legislation earlier this month to ensure data center operators pay a fair share for electricity, instead of shifting costs to residents and businesses. "In addition to being harmful to the nearby communities and the environment, the strategy that SpaceXAI has repeatedly deployed also appears to be illegal. The position that SpaceXAI has apparently taken, and that local regulators seem to have accepted, is that because the gas turbines are located on trailers, they constitute 'mobile sources' of pollution and may therefore be utilized without permits for up to one year under the Clean Air Act," Pallone wrote in the letter. "But this reading of the Clean Air Act—whether by SpaceXAI or a state or local regulator—is clearly wrong," he added. "Given the inability of SpaceXAI to provide adequate time and information in that meeting and in order to bring much-needed transparency to SpaceXAI’s operations at Colossus 1 and Colossus 2, please provide responses to the below requests by August 11, 2026," Pallone wrote. "My Committee staff will also reach out to discuss dates when I and my Committee staff can visit the Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 sites, including their energy generation sites," he continued. Some of the information Pallone requested from the company includes: A list of all turbines in use at any point for the purposes of powering either the Colossus 1 or Colossus 2 sites, as well as their emissions and permitting application details All communications and records relating to Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 between employees or representatives of SpaceXAI and various state, local, and federal entities – including the White House Analyses, reports, and documentation related to the emissions, power consumption, and water usage of both the Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 data center sites Read the full letter HERE.
