Today in News History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1905, Alfredo M. Santos, Filipino general (died 1990) was born. In 1971, MF Doom, English-American rapper (died 2020) was born. In 1975, Diego Spotorno, Ecuadorian actor was born. In 1982, Yadier Molina, Puerto Rican baseball player was born. In 1988, DJ LeMahieu, American baseball player was born. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, Mumbai is rocked by three bomb blasts during the evening rush hour, killing 26 and injuring 130. In 2013, Typhoon Soulik kills at least nine people and affects more than 160 million in East China and Taiwan. In 2024, Thomas Matthew Crooks, American student, known for attempting to assassinate former US President Donald Trump (born 2003) passed away. In 2024, President of the United States Donald Trump is injured in an assassination attempt while speaking at an election campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.
The next “flagship killer” is coming from Motorola, but it may not reach the US anytime soon.

A 7,100mAh battery, MagSafe-style magnetic charging, and a 7,000-nit QHD+ LTPO display make it genuinely impressive, and genuinely unavailable to US buyers.
