 My son has narrated the last book I wrote.
Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation FBI officials who covered up Hunter Biden laptop charged for lying to Congress Two ex-FBI officials were charged Friday for lying to Congress that they had little involvement in investigations into Hunter Biden — despite “helping shape the public narrative” around the troubled first son’s laptop, according to federal authorities. The former senior bureau officials, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, self-surrendered and are facing charges based on a probe into their work on FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) during the 2020 election, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro and FBI Director Kash Patel announced. “Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia – despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election,” Pirro said. All the clues Ilhan Omar had sham marriage to brother — from marriage certificate to living with ‘dirty dandy’ Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has denied allegations this week she fraudulently married second husband and alleged brother Ahmed Elmi — but when asked if they were related, cautiously replied “not to my knowledge.” The Minnesota congresswoman, who arrived in the US as a refugee from Somalia in 1995, has vehemently denied allegations she married Elmi for immigration purposes. But significant evidence has emerged which continues to fuel speculation that is not the case: Omar, 45, legally married Elmi, 41, who she described as a British citizen, in the US in 2009 and they divorced in 2017. Dershowitz: Omar in 'Much deeper trouble' The federal search of the Washington home of Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., suggests investigators have evidence beyond the usual threshold for a warrant and could ultimately lead to her deportation, Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Thursday. Dershowitz, a Harvard Law School professor emeritus and author of the book "Why I Quit the Dems," made the case on "The Record With Greta Van Susteren." "I think she's in much, much deeper trouble than she is willing to admit," he said of Omar. Agents with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, a branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, searched Omar's home before dawn Oct. 12 under a sealed warrant listing conspiracy, false statements on immigration paperwork, and immigration fraud as potential crimes, a person familiar with the case told Reuters. Jackson again publicly breaks with Supreme Court as justices side with GOP in last-minute voter ID fight The ruling allows the state to enforce a law striking student ID cards from accepted ballot identification before midterms Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone public dissenter in a Thursday decision allowing New Hampshire to block the use of student ID cards in the upcoming midterm elections. Other justices on the court cited the longstanding precedent "that lower federal courts should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election," and said that lower courts failed to argue that the specific case in New Hampshire warranted an exception to the tradition. Jackson, however, argued the proximity to an election should not get in the way of properly applying the law. "I respectfully dissent because — even, and perhaps especially, when an election is looming — I would not disturb a clearly justifiable federal-court order issued to ensure that the public receives accurate information about a State’s electoral processes," she wrote. The Russian Military Just Handed Planet Earth a Giant Hint The War in the Ukraine Isn’t Going to Stop Anytime Soon As Russia looks set to return to negotiations with the United States and Ukraine, and as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy indicates he is willing to freeze the front lines in a new ceasefire, Moscow authorized a massive missile strike campaign against the Ukrainian capital city overnight into Thursday, October 22. The strikes came only hours after Putin agreed to resume U.S.-mediated talks. The attacks involved at least 21 ballistic missiles fired in three waves and struck civilian and infrastructure targets across Kyiv. The overnight attacks killed and injured civilians, and Ukraine responded with one of its largest drone offensives of the war so far. William backs Palace gatekeeper's collab on tell-all film that Sussexes want gone Prince William is reportedly backing a Palace gatekeeper's involvement in a tell-all film that could paint Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a negative light. Sources claim that the Prince of Wales, 44, is allegedly "all for" a project focusing on Angela Kelly, the late Queen Elizabeth II's former dresser, friend, and confidante of 28 years. However, the Duke, 42, and Duchess of Sussex, 45, want to squash it before it makes the light of day because Kelly, 68, could reignite some controversy. The "gatekeeper" has previously made headlines for the "tiara-gate" scandal involving Harry and Meghan. If Kelly chooses to collaborate on the "hush-hush" film about her life, she could reveal exactly what happened during the controversial moment that dates back to the lead-up to Harry and Meghan's 2018 wedding. Enes Kanter Freedom goes scorched Earth on LeBron James, NBA with new revelations after WNBA Finals incident Enes Kanter Freedom has come forward with new allegations regarding the culture of the NBA during his playing career and sent a warning to the WNBA amid his ongoing feud regarding the league's gender eligibility policy. Freedom's new statements come one day after the WNBA tried to direct him to sit in a private luxury suite at Game 3 of the WNBA Finals in Atlanta instead of the courtside seat he purchased, amid security concerns. The change in arrangement resulted in a highly-publicized encounter with police at the entrance of State Farm Arena, which resulted in Freedom leaving the venue entirely amid disagreements over where he wanted to sit. Now Freedom is revealing that his former Boston Celtics teammate Dennis Schröder privately questioned LeBron James’ motives as an activist, and that his Celtics teammates once shunned him for making an appearance on Fox News in his final year in the league in 2021. According to Freedom, he asked Schröder that season what James was like as a teammate and how he viewed James’ public advocacy. Monica Lewinsky turns heads on the red carpet as tell-all book rumors swirl Monica Lewinsky, 53, is glowing on the red carpet in a recent appearance. While Lewinsky rose to stardom as a former White House intern who was involved with President Bill Clinton, the star’s credentials go far beyond her rise in the ’90s. Now a successful podcaster, Lewinsky is a frequent face in the media. (She even just scored a Signal Award for Best Host for her hit podcast, Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky.) She just landed on the red carpet at the Make Equality Reality Gala 2026 at Cipriani 25 Broadway in New York City, and made it clear that she’s only getting more stunning as the years go by. Is Monica Lewinsky Writing a Tell-All? Word on the web is that Lewinsky is shopping a tell-all book around, Page Six Hollywood reported earlier this week. The piece shared that the publishing industry is abuzz with rumors of the project, which is reportedly being sold via WME. However, they refused to give further details on the tome. Lewinsky will certainly have a few things to write about in the upcoming memoir! Fifty Antifa groups in France join vast network to ensure chaos in weekend protests Antifa radicals busing agitators, raising money and stoking a 'mouvement antifasciste' with new riots Some 50 radical Antifa cells in a wider network of nearly 300 groups are mobilizing to ensure this weekend's demonstrations in France devolve into chaos and mayhem, Fox News Digital has learned. Self-described Antifa groups are working with a sprawling network of communist, socialist, far-left and anti-Israel groups to mobilize on two fronts this weekend: an "anti-fascist village" against conservative leader Marine Le Pen's National Rally in the city of Orléans and nationwide protests called Acte II to replicate last week's violent riots. A Fox News Digital investigation has mapped 287 groups in France's expanding protest ecosystem, including 50 explicitly Antifa organizations, 27 explicitly communist, socialist, Trotskyist or revolutionary-left organizations, 24 labor unions and an expanding coalition of far-left anti-Israel, migrant-rights, environmental, feminist, transgender and other activist organizations. The demonstrations, which claim to be about youth education, include just 27 student and youth organizations. Paris to shut down the Louvre, other tourist attractions over fears of violent Saturday protests Some 70,000 law enforcement officers will be deployed across France on Saturday while the Louvre and several other major Paris museums will be closed as authorities seek to prevent renewed violence during planned protests. Protests last week devolved into mayhem, with people setting fires, storming public buildings, smashing shop windows, looting and clashing with police. It was France’s most violent unrest in years. Demonstrators plan to take to the streets again Saturday to denounce the high cost of living. Students, members of the CGT labor union and activists from the “ yellow vest ” movement, whose demonstrations against social injustice shook France in 2018 and 2019, are all set to join. Mysterious black triangles spotted going 1,800 mph over secret US military bases, latest UFO file dump reveals Mysterious black triangle objects speeding up to 1,800 miles per hour without vapor trails were spotted over secret US military bases on at least three separate occasions over the past year, a newly declassified tranche of government files on UFOs revealed Friday. The sightings sparked national security concerns and it remains unclear if the objects were from other nations, according to redacted files on unidentified anomalous phenomena released Friday by the Trump Administration. The triangle sightings raised concerns both for the advanced technology they appeared to use and for the location — over top secret sites where the US government tests new technology. The exact location and dates of the sightings were redacted for security reasons. Kamala Harris gets crickets from Mississippi rally crowd after butchering motivational quote: ‘Let me repeat that’ Former Vice President Kamala Harris’ attempt to inspire voters at a Democratic rally in Mississippi fell flat Thursday after she was forced to repeat a confusing quote in a far-from-full high school gym. “You know, I mentor a lot of young people, and I talk to them sometimes and part of the advice I give them is, you know, never let someone else with limited ability to see your capacity be a limitation on your ambition,” Harris said at the Columbus, Miss., rally for Democratic Senate hopeful Scott Colom. The applause line received barely any reaction from the crowd, prompting the stunned former vice president to painfully deliver it again. Erika Kirk rips 'absurd' 2029 trial timeline for Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin Erika Kirk is fighting a proposed 2029 trial date for her husband’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson Erika Kirk is urging a judge to reject a defense proposal that would push the trial of her husband's accused killer into 2029, asking the court to set a trial date in 2027. In a new court filing obtained by Fox News, Kirk's legal team blasted the defense's proposed timeline as "grossly out of line" with comparable cases, asking the court to schedule the trial for the earliest practicable date in 2027. Kirk's team also argued that prolonged delays would deepen the emotional toll on the Kirk family, particularly Charlie Kirk's two young children, and cited a report that Robinson's defense had already cost taxpayers approximately $1.6 million in its first year. Trump Admin Sues to Block Possible Dem Senate Win in Alaska The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit to block certification of the Senate race in Alaska if Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, loses the contest while another candidate with the same name is on the ballot — kicking off what many have feared could become a lengthy battle between the U.S. government and states over certifying an election where President Donald Trump's party has faced formidable opposition. The Department of Justice filed the lawsuit Thursday, demanding Alaska be blocked from certifying a win for Democrat Mary Peltola if the other Sullivan remains on the ballot. The Alaska Supreme Court previously rejected efforts to remove the other Sullivan.
European civilization is crumbling, proving socialism doesn’t work. Will America listen? By Matthew Syed
The foundations of European civilization are crumbling. This is not just about buildings set alight, monuments burned to a cinder, people rioting in the streets. It is about something subtler, more visceral, a violence that has been wreaked on the innards of European society over decades rather than merely over the course of a 10-second TikTok short. To understand what is happening, you have to glimpse the trajectory of a once disciplined group of societies that dominated the world, but which also — through a process as subtle as it has become devastating — started putting the present ahead of the future, today above tomorrow, fast living over collective sacrifice. “Delay of gratification,” the psychologist Carol Dweck said, “is the route to all good things” — but this is what has been missing for a quarter of a century and more. France has been running fiscal deficits not for one year, or five, or 10, but for 52 straight years under parties of all colors. This always felt good in the here and now, because swiping ever more cash from bond markets permitted the state to spend beyond its means. Yet the cumulative effect has been ruinous: debt stands at almost 120% of GDP and interest payments are swallowing ever larger parts of the budget, which means public spending is at near record highs while people feel more squeezed than ever before. Team Trump’s vast war on fraud should pay dividends for decades to come
By New York Post Editorial Board
Here’s one war that should’ve started years ago: Team Trump’s drive to stamp out fraud is still ramping up, but is already saving the public billions. This week alone, federal, state and local authorities conducted a string of fresh raids and made arrests, including in New York and California, as part of a nationwide crackdown on Medicaid fraud. Homeland Security also launched a massive operation to snare illegal immigrants who fraudulently stole $40 million in food stamps, bringing the total in food-stamp fraud ID’d so far to $641 million. The feds have also destroyed more than 2,200 illegal merchant SNAP devices and disabled more than 2,000 retailer authorization numbers, heading off an estimated $5 billion in potential fraudulent transactions, Fox New reported. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s sweep in Gotham alone saw more than 80 adult-day-care centers hit in Brooklyn and Queens. |
