North Korea has launched a projectile off its east coast, according to South Korea’s military, marking the regime’s latest show of force amid heightened regional tensions. Seoul says details about the weapon and its range are still being analyzed as officials monitor for further provocations.  The U.S., Iran, and Israel agreed to a two‑week ceasefire just hours before a deadline set by President Donald Trump, easing fears of a dramatic escalation in the war. Under the deal, Iran will reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global oil route, while the U.S. and Israel pause major strikes against Iran.  Independent research firm Citrini Research sent an undercover “Analyst #3” to the Strait of Hormuz and found shipping activity continued—despite satellite data suggesting a near-shutdown. Citrini’s field report challenges the narrative of a closed strait, with markets reacting as traders reassess oil supply risks. Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on

President Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilization.”  President Donald Trump has set an 8 p.m. ET deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or else the U.S. will begin targeting the nation's power plants and bridges Tuesday. Iran has rejected proposals put forward by the U.S., and Trump in turn shut down a 10-point plan from Tehran on Monday, saying it was "not good enough."  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for

Fresno Unified is considering whether to remove all references to César Chávez from district schools and facilities. The debate has sparked strong reactions, with supporters calling it an erasure of civil‑rights history and critics questioning Chávez’s legacy and whether schools should honor controversial figures.  The district launched its audit on retirees’ dependents amid a network dispute that temporarily disrupted health care services for thousands of retirees and their dependents. Retirees last month filed a class-action lawsuit against the district over healthcare plan changes in 2023 they say diluted their benefits.

NASA’s Artemis missions could finally answer long‑standing mysteries about the Moon, from how it formed to why its far side looks so different from the side facing Earth. New samples and instruments may reveal how much water the Moon holds, what’s inside its core, and why its ancient magnetic field disappeared — reshaping what scientists know about lunar history and future exploration.  A Guinness World Records‑recognized hair collector says he now only collects samples from dead celebrities after a living star threatened legal action. The unusual hobby highlights the strange legal and ethical lines around celebrity memorabilia — and how far fandom can go before it crosses into controversy.  McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinski went viral after taking a tiny bite of the chain’s new Big Arch burger in a promotional video, sparking online mockery.

During Artemis II’s lunar flyby, the crew will enter a planned 40-minute communications blackout as Orion passes behind the Moon and loses link with Earth. This marks their most isolated moment—four astronauts floating in silence, executing critical science tasks without real-time support. Astronaut Victor Glover urged the public to “pray, hope, send your good thoughts” during the silence, while the experience echoes Apollo 11’s “alone” 48‑minute blackout on the far side.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for pri

A CalMatters column says California’s governor race looks less like a sprint and more like a game of chicken.

Their roughly six-hour lunar flyby promises views of the moon’s far side that were too dark or too difficult to see by the 24 Apollo astronauts who preceded them. Artemis II’s astronauts are following the same figure-eight path since they are neither orbiting the moon nor landing on it. But their distance from Earth should exceed Apollo 13’s by more than 4,100 miles (6,600 kilometers).  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Colorado man with an active arrest warrant was taken into custody after applying to the Commerce City Police Department and requesting a ride‑along. Police say a background check revealed a lengthy criminal history and outstanding warrant, turning what was meant to be a job inquiry into an unexpected arrest at the station.  Drivers frustrated by automatic stop‑start engines may soon get relief as the Trump administration moves to roll back federal incentives for the fuel‑saving feature.

This story explores what’s driving the surge, how social awareness and clini
