A cryptocurrency token launched by Hunter Biden, the son of the former president, abruptly lost almost all of its value within minutes of its debut Wednesday morning.

Earlier this week, the younger Biden had touted the launch of the $LAPTOP meme coin, saying it was a way to reclaim a symbol that had defined news coverage about him when his father was president. He also suggested that the meme coin would be about building community, benefiting charity and helping those who had “lost money on the $TRUMP grift,” referring to President Donald Trump’s own meme coin launch.

Instead, the value of Biden’s meme coin plummeted from a high of about $190 per token to less than $2 per token. About 80 percent of traders who bought Biden’s cryptocurrency token Wednesday lost money, according to the blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps, which described it as “bloodbath.”

Bubblemaps CEO Nicolas Vaiman said more than 15,000 crypto wallets, or accounts, had lost money on $LAPTOP, and that the supply of tokens was “extremely concentrated” before launch, making it vulnerable to a “dump,” or rapid sell-off.

Biden, who in recent months has been a prolific social media poster and appeared on numerous podcasts, has not publicly commented on the $LAPTOP coin since its launch. Representatives for Biden did not immediately respond to interview requests Wednesday.

Andrew Callaghan is also a sex pest.

LACOFD said there appeared to be a slow leak from a tank. Video from Citizen.com shows an orange yellow haze surrounding the area.

La Habra’s mayor said on Facebook that the chemical leak has been contained but residents and businesses within a mile radius of the scene were asked to shelter-in-place.

Fire officials announced at 2:30 p.m. that the incident had stabilized and all shelter-in-place orders have been lifted.

Hazmat crews mitigated the leak and the plume dissipated. Active air monitoring is in place, and officials said there is no active risk to residents.

The fire department said they evaluated at least three employees at the site where fumes were leaking from the tank but there are no reports of anyone being transported to the hospital.

Cypress Street is closed between Lambert Road and La Habra Boulevard.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that it has successfully intercepted and captured a highly advanced, unmanned American underwater vehicle at the entrance of the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

In a statement released on Tuesday, the IRGC Navy stated that the seizure was carried out in the early hours of the day following a "complex intelligence and operational action."

The unmanned submersible incorporates some of the world's most advanced underwater technology and was delivered to the US terrorist military in 2025, the statement said.

The IRGC announced that photographic evidence and detailed footage of the captured US asset would be released in the coming hours.

Iranian news agency Tasnim identified the captured system as a Dive-LD, an autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle developed by US defense technology company Anduril Industries and first delivered to the US Navy's Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Group 1 in 2025.

The vehicle is approximately 5.8 meters long, has a diameter of about 1.2 meters and weighs roughly 2.7 tonnes.

Its published specifications include an endurance of up to 10 days underwater and a maximum operating depth of around 6,000 meters.

Designed as a modular autonomous platform, the Dive-LD can be configured for missions including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, seabed mapping, infrastructure inspection and mine-countermeasure operations.

The capture comes amid a sharp escalation between Iran and the United States over the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most strategically important maritime chokepoints.

The waterway has increasingly become a key arena in the US war on Iran, prompting Tehran to assert greater control over maritime activity in and around the strait.

Recent military exchanges have included US strikes on Iranian oil tankers and Iranian missile attacks targeting US naval forces.

On September 6, Iran said it had struck a US unmanned vessel attempting to enter a restricted area near Hormuz.

The capture of the unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) marks the latest in a long history of Iran intercepting and seizing advanced Western military technology.

Over the past decade, Iranian forces have successfully downed or captured numerous high-value US assets, including the RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone, MQ-9 Reaper drones, and various underwater gliders and surface vessels in the Persian Gulf.

Reverse-engineering these captured technologies has historically played a significant role in accelerating Iran’s domestic drone and unmanned naval programs.

Iran has strongly condemned a joint statement by Canada’s foreign and finance ministers as a distortion of facts, an act of appeasement toward Washington, and a display of strategic confusion that aligns Ottawa with US military aggression and economic warfare against the Islamic Republic.

In a post on X on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei noted the timing of the Canadian statement: “On the very day the U.S. president, in blatant contempt for Canada’s sovereignty and independence, portrayed the entire country as part of the United States, Canada’s foreign and finance ministers chose to further appease their bullying neighbor—this time by targeting Iran with a statement that distorts every fact about the situation in our region.”

He emphasized that Ottawa is fully aware of the facts on the ground. “Canada knows full well that the Strait of Hormuz was open and secure before USrael launched a war of aggression against Iran on 28 February.”

Baghaei rejected Canada’s self-portrayal as a defender of international norms. “Canada cannot credibly present itself as a champion of ‘peace and security,’ ‘freedom of navigation,’ and ‘international law’ while simultaneously backing U.S. military aggression and Washington’s illegal, interventionist actions in our region.”

The spokesperson questioned Ottawa’s priorities: “If freedom of navigation is truly the issue, why does Canada—having itself experienced American bad faith and knowing that U.S. signatures are ‘written in pencil’—choose to support U.S. military aggression and economic terrorism instead of calling for an end to American aggression, blockade, and economic warfare?”

He concluded that the Canadian position “is neither ‘diplomacy’ nor ‘responsible statecraft’. It is a display of strategic confusion and submission to intimidation—a choice that will not even shield Canada itself from American bullying and aggression.”

The remarks came in response to a September 6 statement by Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand and Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne that condemned what they called Iran’s “destabilizing activities,” including alleged threats to vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, and voiced support for US-led efforts to “reopen” the waterway along with additional sanctions.

Iranian officials have consistently pointed out that the Strait of Hormuz remained open and secure for commercial shipping until the United States and the Israeli regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on February 28. Subsequent disruptions, they stress, are the direct consequence of that illegal attack, the ensuing US naval blockade, and Washington’s attempts to impose its will on a sovereign nation.

Baghaei’s statement underscores Tehran’s longstanding position that true respect for freedom of navigation and international law requires an end to US military adventurism, the illegal blockade of Iranian ports, and economic terrorism, not the parroting of Washington’s narrative by countries that themselves face American pressure.

The Islamic Republic has repeatedly affirmed its commitment to the security of the strategic waterway as a coastal state while reserving its legitimate right to self-defense against aggression. Ottawa’s decision to join the campaign of aggression, Iranian officials argue, neither serves peace nor protects Canada from the very bullying it claims to oppose.

On the very day the U.S. president, in blatant contempt for Canada’s sovereignty and independence, portrayed the entire country as part of the United States, Canada’s foreign and finance ministers chose to further appease their bullying neighbor—this time by targeting Iran with a statement that distorts every fact about the situation in our region.

Canada knows full well that the Strait of Hormuz was open and secure before USrael launched a war of aggression against Iran on 28 February.

Canada cannot credibly present itself as a champion of “peace and security,” “freedom of navigation,” and “international law” while simultaneously backing U.S. military aggression and Washington’s illegal, interventionist actions in our region.

If freedom of navigation is truly the issue, why does Canada - having itself experienced American bad faith and knowing that U.S. signatures are 'written in pencil' - choose to support U.S. military aggression and economic terrorism instead of calling for an end to American aggression, blockade, and economic warfare?

This is neither 'diplomacy' nor 'responsible statecraft'. It is a display of strategic confusion and submission to intimidation - a choice that will not even shield Canada itself from American bullying and aggression.

German sportswear company Adidas apologized Monday after an advertising campaign featuring a former Israeli soldier prompted a backlash and calls for a boycott, Anadolu reports.

The campaign featured Shalev Biton, whose left leg was amputated after he was wounded while serving in the Israeli army in 2021, to promote Adidas’s Single Shoe service.

“We recognize that an image used in a recent local activation by the local team has raised concerns and strong reactions,” Adidas said in a statement.

“It was never our intent to cause offense and we apologize for anyone affected,” the company added, describing the promotion as a local initiative rather than part of a global campaign.

Biton was one of 11 disabled athletes featured on posters displayed at Adidas stores in Israel.

Pro-Palestinian activists criticized the decision to include a former Israeli soldier in a campaign centered on amputees, contrasting the promotion with the thousands of Palestinians who have lost limbs during Israel’s war on the Gaza.

World Health Organization estimates published in May said that Gaza had recorded more than 5,000 traumatic limb amputations and over 22,000 major extremity injuries since October 2023. Up to a quarter of those with life-changing injuries were children, according to the organization.

Spanish actor Javier Bardem was among those who urged consumers to boycott the company over the promotion.

Adidas said its Single Shoe service was intended to promote inclusion by allowing people with limb differences to only purchase the shoe they need.

The company introduced the service in 23 European countries in January, offering individual shoes for 50% of the price of a pair at Adidas-owned stores and outlets. It was developed in consultation with disability groups and organizations, including ParalympicsGB.

Adidas said the program was expanding across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including Palestine, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt.

The company said it would “continue to listen, learn and work to ensure that our actions reflect the inclusive values we stand for.”
