President Donald Trump mourned the lives lost in multiple terrorist
attacks over the weekend leading into the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah,
hailing the heroism of the "very brave person" who disarmed one of the
Australian terrorists.

Brown University Person of Interest Being Released, Shooter at Large; Mayor: 'Fresh Anxiety for Our Community'
In a Sunday late-night news conference in Providence, Rhode Island, a
24-year-old male person of interest was announced to be released,
leaving "fresh anxiety" for the area that an armed Brown University

wounded is now rendering evidence "that points in a different

condolences for victims of a violent weekend that included the Syria
attack, a shooting at Brown University, and a deadly antisemitic attack
in Australia.

it," Trump said, adding that authorities "got the person" responsible
but that "there'll be big damage done."
Trump said the Syria attack killed "three great patriots" and stressed it was carried out by ISIS, not the Syrian government.
FBI stops planned New Year’s Eve Los Angeles terror attack by pro-Palestinian cell
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Monday that five members of a
pro-Palestinian extremist group had been arrested in connection with an
alleged plot to carry out coordinated bombings in Los Angeles on New
Year’s Eve.
The “credible, imminent terrorist threat” to five locations in Los
Angeles came from radical members of an offshoot of the Turtle Island
Liberation Front (TILF), Patel claimed in an X post.
Four of the suspects were collared in Lucerne Valley in the Mojave
Desert, where the extremists allegedly were testing improvised
explosives. A fifth was apprehended in New Orleans while planning a
separate attack, according to the FBI boss.

accused of concealing an undocumented man to prevent his arrest by

John Fetterman breaks with Democrats, slams party’s Palestinian statehood stance as 'absolute betrayal'
Sen. John Fetterman broke with Democrats on Sunday, siding with
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham as he accused members of his party of
embracing antisemitic rhetoric after a deadly terror attack during a
Hanukkah celebration in Australia over the weekend.
Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures," Fetterman said he agreed "with
virtually everything" Graham warned about earlier in the program.
Graham had raised concerns about empowering Hamas by moving toward
Palestinian statehood.
"It’s an absolute betrayal for Israel and for the worldwide Jewish community," said Fetterman.
"Whether it's France or Australia or any of these nations, our Western
allies now calling for a two-state solution when Hamas refuses to
disarm and are actively trying to kill Jews. I can't imagine why
anybody would do that at this point," he added.

THE RED OCTOBER Dramatic moment Russian submarine is BLOWN UP by
Ukrainian ‘Sub Sea Baby’ underwater kamikaze drone for first time
Construction of a new sub could cost up to $500million
THIS is the incredible moment Ukraine sinks a Russian submarine with a sea drone for the first time in history.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and Ukrainian Navy destroyed the
£300million sub with their Sea Baby drones after conducting a special
naval operation in the port of Novorossiysk.
Dramatic footage shows an enormous explosion send chunks of debris showering over other parked ships.
The number of casualties is yet to be reported.
It was believed to be carrying four Kalibr missile launchers used to level Ukrainian buildings and bases.
Bondi Beach terror is EXACTLY what ‘Globalize the intifada’ means
It’s official: Nowhere is safe from the scourge of Jew hatred.
Not even Bondi Beach.
On Sunday, that gorgeous stretch of sand and sea in Sydney, Australia, was visited by the great evil of antisemitism.
Two gunmen opened fire at a gathering of Jewish Australians who were celebrating the first day of Hanukkah.
The left flaunts its hypocrisy as Supreme Court curbs bureaucrats’ power
During this week’s oral arguments in Trump v. Slaughter, Justice Sonia
Sotomayor threatened America with a good time — warning that the
administration is “asking us to destroy the structure of government.”
Great. It’s about time an unaccountable fourth branch of the state was decimated.
Trump v. Slaughter revolves around the president’s ability to fire
executive branch officials without cause at “independent” agencies.
For one thing, nowhere does the Constitution empower Congress to create “independent” anything.
The notion is a concoction of our worst former president, Woodrow
Wilson, and it was codified nearly a century ago in Humphrey’s Executor
v. United States, when the high court ruled that the Federal Trade
Commission was a quasi-legislative, quasi-executive, and quasi-judicial
agency.
