The carburetor, or just carb for short, had a long run as the de facto fuel metering device on American automobiles, beginning with the Duryea brothers'...

The government is expected to wrap up its case against Sean "Diddy" Combs on Monday after more than six weeks of testimony from a number of witnesses.Jury selection for the rapper's sex crimes trial began on May 5, and the prosecution called its last witness to the stand Friday after hearing Diddy's former assistant, alleged "drug mule" Brendan Paul, testify about his time employed by the Bad Boy Records founder.Diddy's legal team, headed by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, initially indicated they would need upwards of two weeks to plead their case, but told Judge Arun Subramanian last week that they may be able to rest by Tuesday or Wednesday.Despite the trial coming to a close, former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani admitted that lingering questions remain with the case, including questions about missing key witnesses.DIDDY'S ALLEGED DRUG MULE TESTIFIES EMPLOYEES MOVED LIKE SEAL TEAM 6, USED COCAINE TO STAY AWAKE"What happened to Gina, who was Victim 3 in the indictment? The government said they were unable to get a hold of her, and she did not testify," Rahmani said. "Was she afraid, embarrassed, paid off by Combs, or was there another reason why she didnt comply with the subpoena?Regardless, it was a mistake by the prosecution to list her as a victim when they did not have assurances that she would appear.They should have known Combs has the resources to threaten or pay witnesses not to testify and have planned accordingly."There have been no allegations in court that Diddy threatened or paid witnesses not to testify.Rahmani also wondered why Diddy's chief of staff, Kristina "KK" Khorram, wasn't called to testify. Brendan Paul testified Friday that KK "basically ran the enterprise."During the testimony of summary witness Anaya Sankar, the jury was shown text messages between Diddys ex Cassie Ventura and KK dated May 2, 2017. Cassie was telling KK that the "Last Night" singer allegedly had locked the door and dragged her by her hair.DIDDY'S ALLEGED DRUG MULE TAKES THE STAND WITH IMMUNITY DEAL; TRIAL REVEALS DARK SECRETMore text messages between Cassie and KK dated April 20, 2018, showed Cassie saying she cant take the violence and being kicked out of her own home. KK responded, "I dont know what else to say, but Im here" Cassie then wrote, "I just want to stay focused."The jury was then shown text messages between KK and Diddys more recent ex-girlfriend, who testified under the pseudonym Jane. She alleged that Diddy had forced her to have sex with male escorts during "hotel nights" and that occasionally the sex session was recorded.A text message sent to KK from Jane was shown to the jury, which claimed Combs was threatening to release the alleged sex tapes. Jane wrote, "Youre his righthand womanmaybe hell listen to you" The message was sent on Feb. 18, 2024."Many consider her to be Combs Ghislaine Maxwell because she knows where the proverbial bodies are buried,"Rahmani told Fox News Digital. "Khorram was actually involved in the alleged sex and drug trafficking and could have been charged as a co-conspirator.The government should have leaned on her to flip against her former boss.Instead, they gave her a pass by simply reading her text messages into evidence."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSRahmani questioned why Diddy's ex-girlfriends, including Cassie, Mia and Jane, didn't leave if they had been sexually assaulted and trafficked. "The government put on expert Dawn Hughes to explain the psychology of abuse, but that is the biggest question in the case,"Rahmani admitted. "Did the victims stay because they wanted the money and fame that came with being Combs partner?If so, did they consent to the freak offs while they were happening?""Was this rape, or really regret and resentment? Im not sure prosecutors have fully answered this question and this is the same argument the defense raised with some success in the Harvey Weinstein retrial."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWhat the jury will decide remains the biggest question in the case. Attorney Nicole Blank Becker, who represents R. Kelly, told Fox News Digital that jurors, just like anyone else, have a difficult time separating emotions from charges."When you hear about the horrible actions of P. Diddy, not only here, but then you see the actions on a video, and at some point, the jury will be told, OK, perhaps that it was a domestic violence, but that's not really what this is about. It's about something bigger," Becker said. "The idea that the jurors will be able to separate that in their mind is highly unlikely, even though they will be told to. And there's a lot of demonstrative evidence in this case, is my understanding.WATCH: SEAN DIDDY COMBS ASSAULTS CASSIE VENTURA IN 2016 LOS ANGELES HOTEL INCIDENT"My experience when I was in the case with R. Kelly, those types of things are often used not only to show what the government's trying to bring, show in their case, but it definitely brings an emotional side to a human, and sometimes that emotional part It's very difficult to overlook when you're back there as a juror."She added, "I can only imagine the difficulty that there must be when you were back in a jury room to sort of separate if you think he's a good person or a bad person, because that's not what they're there for, right? Therefore, they're back there to basically check off boxes. If the government has done this, check it off. If the government has done that, check it off. Better bet that they're also back there talking about, Oh my god, can you believe what he did in this video?'"Becker noted that testimony and evidence may get misconstrued, and that the jury has to separate emotions from fact."Some of it, I think it gets minced," Becker said. "It becomes extremely difficult actually to say to yourself, 'OK self, I'm not supposed to let myself be emotionally involved in this. I'm supposed to just listen to the law, and then put the facts in where the law is appropriate.'""I know in [R. Kelly's] case, I can only imagine how difficult that must have been. And I think that that's going to also be another difficult part of the Diddy case as well."

After U.S. airstrikes on high-value nuclear sites in Iran, Americans could be vulnerable to targeted cyberattacks and terrorist acts from lone wolves, according to one expert.Bill Daly is a former FBI investigator who worked to thwart terror attacks and dealt with foreign counterintelligence. He told Fox News Digital that while hard infrastructure like rail lines and power plants could be at risk, cybersecurity should be a key focus."You also look at things such as power plants, utilities, that type of infrastructure, where if they were able to put a concentrated effort towards a cyberattack, you could diminish the electrical grids, and other kinds of technical infrastructure," Daly said. "We know they've looked at ways to try to get into our infrastructure, or controlling water resources or water systems or [the] electrical grid."OPEN BORDERS UNDER BIDEN COULD HELP IRAN RETALIATE WITH US TERROR SLEEPER CELLS: FORMER FBI BOSSHe said that if Iranian state-sponsored terrorists are looking to attack, rather than just lone wolf terrorists, there is a higher risk of a sophisticated cyberattack."I think maybe something to do with the power grid might be something that they could do try to do remotely, without sending somebody here," he said.Daly said that potential cyberattackers could "overwhelm the internet infrastructure" and turn off systems that are critical to Americans' everyday lives.However, Daly is also worried that with the open border policies of the Biden administration, there is no telling how many bad actors are already in the United States.IRAN MAY ATTEMPT FACE-SAVING RETALIATION AGAINST US FOR STRIKES, EXPERT SAYS"My overall concern about what's happening now is the fact that we have, we're aware, that there have been several hundred known people on terrorist watchlists who've come across the border since 2021 through 2024, nearly a couple hundred," Daly told Fox News Digital."And then we have, on top of that, we have now probably estimated, a million or more, easily, gotaways, people who we can't account for who came across the border," Daly said. "So the Joe Biden open borders really gives me a reason to be cautious and concerned, because we just don't know who these people are. If we stopped literally hundreds of people on terror watchlists, who's to say how many people have come across who have not been caught?"Recalling the 9/11 attacks, Daly said that terror cells in the country could be taking directions from a foreign government and waiting for the right moment to strike.AMERICA COULD BE HIT WITH 'HIGH-IMPACT' CYBERATTACK TARGETING ENERGY GRID, FMR WH TECH CHIEF SAYSLikewise, he said that lone wolf attackers who are not part of a particular group could now be galvanized to attack randomly."Some people have been pre-positioned here, who are sent directly through some kind of state sponsor, or people who have been co-opted, who have asked [that] once they got over here, they would continue to cooperate with them or show allegiance to Iran," said Daly.However, the FBI is constantly monitoring for both cells and lone wolves alike."Here in the U.S., there has been certainly a tremendous concentrated effort towards combating terrorism since 9/11," Daly said. "Joint terrorism task forces around the country, those are primarily driven by the FBI, with state, local, and other federal agencies participating."You know, they've been constantly looking at potential terrorist acts across the board, so it's not something new we have to ramp up from the get go, right?"I believe the FBI is putting a much more concerted effort into monitoring any people who may have been on their radar before as being part of any potential terrorist activity."

A tomb likely linked to the family of King Midas was recently uncovered in Turkey offering more details about life during the reign of the legendary leader.The discovery was made at the Gordion archaeological site some 60 miles southwest of the Turkish capital of Ankara. The royal tomb dates to the 8th century B.C. and was found after a grueling four months of excavating.Gordion was the capital of the Phrygian kingdom, which controlled most of western and central Anatolia in the first millennium B.C.LONG-LOST CAPITAL OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION MAY HAVE FINALLY BEEN UNCOVERED, ARCHAEOLOGISTS SAY: 'UNIQUE FIND'Its most famous king is King Midas, the ruler known for his "golden touch." He controlled the kingdom between 740 and 700 B.C.With the burial chamber dating back to 750 B.C., evidence suggests the new discovery belonged to his family.University of Pennsylvania professor C. Brian Rose, who directs excavations at the site, spoke with Fox News Digital about the recent discovery.The tomb, dubbed Tumulus T-26, contained a great display of wealth, including various well-preserved bronze objects and iron tools, said the historian.Interestingly, the remains of the decedent were also cremated.Rose said the bronze vessels "attest to a high level of wealth," on top of the tomb's proximity to the burial mound of Midas' father."Royal tombs are often organized in clusters, so it seems likely that the newly excavated tombs belonged to his family," he said.Miraculously, the royal chamber was untouched by burglars, so several artifacts were still intact.A notable find was a pair of large bronze cauldrons that were used to serve food and drink during a funeral feast.Rose said that although no food residue was found on the vessels, previous discoveries at the site have shed light on what ancient Phrygians ate.ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER PROOF OF ANCIENT BIBLICAL BATTLE AT ARMAGEDDON SITE: 'EXCEPTIONAL PHENOMENON'"There was surviving food residue from the funeral ceremony of Midas father in 740 BCE," he noted."We therefore know that they served a spicy lentil and barbecued sheep or goat stew that was washed down with an alcoholic beverage a mixture of grape wine, barley beer and honey mead."He added, "Some of the vessels had wax strips applied to their sides and the name of the owner was written. If you put your bowl down, you could easily find it again."The recent find follows others made at the same archaeological site.Archaeologists previously found a burial named Tumulus T-52, which housed over 3,000 amber beads.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleWhile the bronze objects in Tumulus T-26 indicate wealth, Rose said the discovery of the beads in Tumulus T-52 was unprecedented."Thisconstitutes one of the largest assemblages of amber found anywhere in the ancient world, and scientific testing shows that it was imported from the Baltic," he noted.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTER"This is the kind of feature that one would expect in a royal assemblage, and the discovery supplies welcome information regarding the long-distance trade networks to which Gordion was connected."Archaeologists across the world uncover an untold number of ancient tombs every year and some are lucky enough to find well-preserved artifacts, too.Last month, Egyptian officials announced the discovery of several high-ranking Ancient Egyptian officials' tombs.In Syria, a contractor recently stumbled across an expensive Christian tomb complex dating back to the Byzantine Empire.
