Israel Wants to Train ChatGPT to Be More Pro-Israel

/0 Comments/in , /by

The government of Israel has hired a new conservative-aligned firm, Clock Tower X LLC, to create media for Gen Z audiences in a contract worth $6 million. At least 80 percent of content Clock Tower produces will be “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets” with a minimum goal of 50 million impressions per month.

Clock Tower will even deploy “websites and content to deliver GPT framing results on GPT conversations.” In other words, Clock Tower will create new websites to influence how AI GPT models such as ChatGPT, which are trained on vast amounts of data from every corner of the internet, frame topics and respond to them — all on behalf of Israel.

As part of this work, the firm will also use search engine optimization software MarketBrew AI, a predictive AI platform that helps clients adapt to algorithms and promote their work on search engines like Google and Bing, to “improve the visibility and ranking of relevant narratives.”

Clock Tower will integrate its pro-Israel messaging into Salem Media Network properties, a conservative Christian media group that boasts a vast radio network and produces high-profile shows such as the Hugh Hewitt Show, the Larry Elder Show, and the Right View with Lara Trump. In April, the conservative media network announced Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump as significant stakeholders in the company. Salem Media Network did not respond to a question clarifying whether it would be compensated by Clock Tower for promoting messages on behalf of Israel, or how these messages would be integrated.

Report: Thwarted Plot to Cripple New York Cell Service Far Bigger Than First Thought

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Chinese-linked operation to paralyze New York’s telecommunications network was far more extensive than authorities initially believed, according to law enforcement sources speaking to ABC News. The alarming scale of the plot has intensified the urgency of the federal investigation, as officials uncover more locations, more equipment, and a broader threat than first understood.

Plot Could Have Crippled NYC Cell Towers, 911 System

Federal agents say the operation had the potential to knock out every cell tower in the New York City area, jam 911 emergency calls, and sow widespread chaos by overloading critical communications systems.

Initial raids uncovered 100,000 SIM cards and hundreds of servers in five different vacant apartments and office spaces around the city. But now, officials say they’ve found an additional 200,000 SIM cards at a site in New Jersey, bringing the total haul to over 300,000.

Investigators with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the U.S. Secret Service believe the equipment — capable of sending up to 30 million anonymous text messages per minute — was designed to overload and disable cellular networks.

“This wasn’t just spam or harassment,” one federal agent told ABC News. “This was infrastructure warfare.”

Motivation Tied to Targeting of High-Level Individuals

The investigation began after a series of suspicious incidents involving high-ranking individuals — including at least one person with direct access to former President Donald Trump — who were hit with “swatting” attacks and threatening messages sent directly to their private phones.

These incidents raised red flags among federal law enforcement and national security agencies, triggering a broader probe that eventually led to the discovery of the New York-area data centers.

So far, no arrests have been made, and authorities are still working to identify who rented the spaces and operated the sophisticated infrastructure hidden inside them.

Pete Hegseth Rebukes DEI, Fat Troops: ‘We Are Done with That Sh*t’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced new standards Tuesday as part of an ongoing cultural shift at the Pentagon ending the “war on warriors” led by woke politicians and Pentagon leaders.

Hegseth, eight months into a historic tenure that has seen the Department of Defense rebranded and reoriented as the Department of War, made his announced Tuesday addressing top military leaders at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Quantico, Virginia, ahead of remarks by President Donald Trump.

“From this moment forward, the only mission of the newly restored Department of War is this: warfighting, preparing for war, and preparing to win, unrelenting and uncompromising in that pursuit,” he told the rare assemblage of top military brass.

Hegseth’s speech emphasized many themes pressed throughout his time leading the Pentagon, such as eradicating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements, mandating higher standards, and earning peace by preparing for war.

But his 45-minute remarks in front of top generals and flag officers marked a formal pivot away from many past policies that Trump has argued distract from the military’s core mission. (Read more from “Pete Hegseth Rebukes DEI, Fat Troops: ‘We Are Done with That Sh*t’” HERE)

REPORT: Democrats Trigger Schumer-Led Government Shutdown With No Exit Plan in Sight

/0 Comments/in , /by

As the clock ticks down to a midnight government shutdown, Senate Democrats — led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — are poised to filibuster a clean, short-term spending bill, virtually guaranteeing a lapse in government funding. Despite the looming crisis, Democrats are offering no clear path to end the shutdown they are helping to initiate.

The Republican-sponsored measure would have kept the government funded through November 21, buying more time for negotiations. But Democrats, demanding $1.5 trillion in unrelated policy concessions, have refused to support the extension — despite not presenting a viable alternative.

“It’s right now impossible to say — there are about 20 different possible exit ramps — some of them good, some of them troubling,” admitted Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) when asked about the Democrats’ strategy.

Hours before the deadline, even Senate Republicans were left baffled by the Democrats’ lack of a coherent plan to end the shutdown once it begins.

“I don’t think my Democratic friends have thought through how to get this thing back open,” said Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA). “And I don’t think they have thought through what I believe the OMB Director is going to do while the government is shut down.”

Kennedy warned that the Trump administration could leverage the shutdown to reduce federal workforce numbers or cut funding to programs typically favored by Democrats — actions that could become permanent.

President Donald Trump echoed those concerns from the Oval Office on Tuesday, hinting that the administration may take aggressive action during the shutdown.

“We can do things during the shutdown that are irreversible, that are bad for [Democrats] and irreversible by them, like cutting vast numbers of people out … cutting programs that they like,” Trump said.

Despite Democrats’ resistance, the White House appears ready to let the shutdown run its course — potentially using the opportunity to trim federal programs long targeted by conservatives.

While Democrats are blocking the clean resolution, they’re simultaneously placing the blame for the shutdown on Trump and Republican lawmakers.

“I’ll quote President Trump as he’s said repeatedly, ‘It’s the responsibility of the president to keep the government open.’ Those are his words. I believe him,” said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA). “They control every part of the government. It’s the president’s job.”

Meanwhile, others like Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) are banking on Republicans eventually buckling to Democrat demands. “At some point they’re going to come to the table realistically because there’ll be such mounting pressure,” Blumenthal said.

Those demands include reversing cuts to foreign aid, restoring public broadcasting funds, and extending COVID-era healthcare subsidies that are not set to expire until year’s end.

Trump Admin May Have Eyes On New Regime Change War

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States is reportedly planning to target drug traffickers in Venezuela, raising questions about the possibility of regime change in the country.

U.S. military officials are considering attacking drug traffickers in the coming weeks within the borders of Venezuela, four sources told NBC News.

“We’ll see what happens. Venezuela is sending us their gang members, their drug dealers and drugs. It’s not acceptable,” the White House told NBC, referencing a previous statement from Trump.

The report follows rising tensions over drugs and the mobilization of U.S. forces in the Caribbean.

Throughout September, President Donald Trump authorized striking several boats allegedly carrying drugs and drug traffickers.

“BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” Trump declared in a Truth post on September 15, attaching a video of the second boat strike. “The illicit activities by these cartels have wrought DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES ON AMERICAN COMMUNITIES FOR DECADES, killing millions of American citizens. NO LONGER.”

Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales’ Staffer Burned to Death After Dousing Herself With Gasoline, Setting Her Body Ablaze

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A staffer for Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales who burned to death in her backyard set herself on fire with gasoline, according to firefighters — but her family still insists it was an accident.

Regina Santos-Aviles “doused herself in gasoline” in Uvalde on September 13, according to a report from responding firefighters obtained by the Uvalde Leader News.

The 35-year-old mother then “was ignited in flames,” the report said, adding that burning gasoline cans were extinguished when firefighters arrived.

Officials did not say whether she deliberately started the fatal blaze, but the Uvalde Police Department said it does not suspect anybody else was involved in her death or that there was any foul play.

Santos-Aviles was found alive and still ablaze by her own mother around 9:30 p.m. that night, and was helicoptered to a nearby hospital. (Read more from “Texas Rep. Tony Gonzales’ Staffer Burned to Death After Dousing Herself With Gasoline, Setting Her Body Ablaze” HERE)

Woke Officials in Tony DC Suburb Refused to Charge Trans Sex Offender Who Went ‘Hunting’ for Little Girls, Virginia AG Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Virginia’s Attorney General is blasting woke county officials for refusing to arrest a sex offender who claimed to be a woman so he could walk into girls’ locker rooms — and said there was clear evidence he was “hunting” little girls at pools and water parks in the tony Washington, DC, suburb.

Richard Cox, a prolific 58-year-old registered sex offender, allegedly exposed himself to little girls and women in the girls’ locker rooms. He was also found with child pornography and a schedule of girls’ swim class schedules at Fairfax County rec centers on his phone, cops said.

However, in Fairfax County — where a Dem-majority board oversees the cops — authorities aid they have no plans to charge Cox for his visits to three rec centers there where children were present, WSET reported.

When he was finally arrested, it was in neighboring Arlington County — where Cox is facing charges for a laundry list of sex crimes.

Video obtained by WSET shows Cox, a biological male, entering women’s locker rooms at Fairfax County’s Oakmont, Audrey Moore, and Franconia rec centers last year.

Trump Gaza Plan Wins Support of Arab, Muslim World — and Palestinian Authority

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the Gaza war has not only won support from Israel, but also from the Arab and Muslim world — and from the Palestinian Authority, which has opposed his plans in the past.

The 20-point plan, as Breitbart News has noted, would fulfill Israel’s goals of freeing the remaining hostages, as well as disarming Hamas and removing it from power. It also offers the prospect of a Palestinian state — if Hamas complies with the plan and the Palestinian Authority agrees to sweeping reforms of its policies and anti-Israel culture.

If Hamas does not agree, the plan allows Israel to continue fighting the terror group.

Trump canvassed for support for the plan among Arab and Muslim nations on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York last week. The plan includes key Arab demands, such as the inclusion of the Palestinian Authority in the future governance of Gaza (together with other Arab states). It also prevents Israel from annexing Gaza, and does not mention Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).

The Times of Israel noted: “Shortly after the press conference [by Trump and Netanyahu at the White House on Monday], the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt issued a joint statement welcoming Trump’s efforts and pledging to engage with the US to advance the implementation of the Gaza peace plan.” (Read more from “Trump Gaza Plan Wins Support of Arab, Muslim World — and Palestinian Authority” HERE)

REPORT: New FBI Lab Report and Witness Testimony Deepen Mystery in Unsolved Jan. 6 Pipe Bomb Case

/5 Comments/in , , /by

Newly released evidence suggests explosive devices may have been planted later than originally claimed — or not meant to explode at all.

The long-unsolved case of the pipe bombs planted outside the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters on January 6, 2021 has taken a dramatic turn. Newly released FBI lab analysis and a key witness interview obtained by Just the News inject fresh doubt into the official narrative — including the timeline and intent of the devices.

FBI Director Kash Patel, who recently took over the bureau, turned over the documents to Congress, sparking renewed scrutiny of a case that remains unsolved four years later despite surveillance footage, public tips, and a substantial reward.

Key Findings Raise Questions About FBI’s Jan. 6 Narrative

Among the most significant revelations:

Both devices were built with the chemical building blocks of black powder and 60-minute kitchen timers.

However, the FBI lab report never used the word “viable” to describe either device — raising questions about whether they were intended to detonate at all.

A key witness who discovered the RNC bomb said the timer still had 20 minutes remaining when she found it — suggesting it may have been planted just shortly before its discovery, not 16 hours earlier as the FBI has long claimed.

The devices were labeled as “Improvised Explosive Devices” (IEDs) and had destructive potential if properly assembled, but neither detonated, and the lab report offers no clear explanation why.

“When properly assembled and initiated, an IED of this sort can cause property damage, bodily injury, or death,” the lab report states. But it avoids saying whether these bombs were truly ready to explode.

Contradictory Timelines: Was the RNC Bomb Planted Hours Later?

The FBI has consistently stated that the bombs were planted at approximately 8:16 PM on Jan. 5, based on timestamped security footage showing a suspect placing the RNC bomb.

But a Commerce Department employee, who discovered the RNC device while doing laundry around 12:40 PM on Jan. 6, told the FBI it was not there at noon, when she first passed by the area.

“I can confirm that the device must have been placed between 12:00–12:40 PM EST,” she said in her tip to the FBI.

She also reported that the timer was set to “20” when she discovered it — indicating that, if the timer were running, the bomb had only been ticking for 40 minutes — again contradicting the FBI’s 16-hour timeline.

The witness, identified as a worker inside a first responder communications program at the U.S. Commerce Department, told investigators she had no memory or recognition of the suspect widely shown in FBI footage.

Congressional investigators are now exploring several alternative theories:

The bombs were not meant to explode, but were planted as a diversion to redirect law enforcement resources away from the Capitol.

Someone reset the timers later — possibly even on Jan. 6 — to make the devices appear more threatening than they were.

The FBI’s initial timeline may be flawed or intentionally misleading.

“The single greatest action that facilitated the protesters’ ease of entry into the Capitol on January 6 was the placing of the pipe bombs,” said Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.), chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating law enforcement’s Jan. 6 response.

“The FBI was zealous in pursuing those trespassing at the Capitol but quite lacking in their pursuit of whomever placed the pipe bombs.”

The newly released materials cast serious doubt on the official version of events surrounding the Jan. 6 pipe bombs. Whether these devices were real threats, failed weapons, or stage-managed distractions, one thing is now clear: the case is far from closed — and may point to broader failures inside the FBI during one of the most scrutinized moments in modern U.S. history.

REPORT: New Epstein Emails Reveal Graphic Recruitment Tactics, Deep Ties to Ghislaine Maxwell

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Newly uncovered emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account have shed disturbing new light on how the convicted sex offender allegedly operated his trafficking network — not only exploiting underage girls, but actively using victims to help recruit others, often with the help of Ghislaine Maxwell, according to a new Bloomberg report released Sept. 12.

The trove, which spans over 20 years and includes thousands of messages, focuses especially on the period between 2005 and 2008, as Epstein came under mounting legal scrutiny in Florida. The emails suggest that, rather than retreating, Epstein and Maxwell tightened their grip on a coordinated operation to recruit and reward young women — while simultaneously crafting legal strategies to avoid consequences.

According to Bloomberg, the emails included messages from Epstein’s female associates, who regularly sent him photos and dossiers of prospective targets. These profiles included age, ethnicity, job, personality traits, and physical descriptions.

One particularly callous email allegedly shows Epstein dismissing a candidate with a single line:

“Fat and Asian sorry.”

This language and system underscore what investigators have long alleged — that Epstein’s network operated like a targeted grooming machine, designed to identify and isolate vulnerable young women who could be manipulated or bought.

In a 2007 email, Epstein received a spreadsheet from his accountant, detailing over $1.8 million in gifts and cash payments made between 2003 and 2006.

Among the entries were:

Direct cash payments to girls later identified as victims

Electronics, including laptops

Victoria’s Secret purchases

One individual received $75,000 in gifts alone

This financial documentation appears to align with accusations that Epstein used money and material goods to not only silence victims, but bind them into his operation — creating an exploitative cycle of dependence.

Maxwell’s Involvement: 650 Messages, Damning Replies

Despite claims during her trial that her relationship with Epstein diminished after his first legal troubles, the emails tell a different story.

650 messages between Epstein and Maxwell were identified

203 messages were sent in just the first half of 2008, as his legal team negotiated a plea deal

In one striking exchange, Epstein allegedly emailed Maxwell asking:

“Which one do you prefer,,, lewd and lascivious conduct,, or procuring minors for prostitution”

Maxwell’s alleged reply:

“I suppose lewd and lascivious conduct… I would prefer lewd and lascivious conduct w/a prostitute if possible.”

This exchange — during an active criminal investigation — appears to undercut Maxwell’s defense that she was no longer involved in Epstein’s world at the time. In fact, it suggests that she was still actively engaged in his legal defense and his broader operation.

Though communications between the two reportedly slowed after Epstein’s 2008 imprisonment, they resumed in late 2014, just as Maxwell faced new allegations from Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers.

In 2014, Maxwell allegedly emailed Epstein:

“Can you send me the file on Virginia that your lawyers have or whatever info you have on her.”

Then, in January 2015, she forwarded a confidential 20-year-old Palm Beach County Sheriff’s report to Epstein. The report involved a 15-year-old Giuffre accusing two men of rape — a case that was eventually dropped due to “lack of credibility,” according to the document.

Ten days later, Maxwell sent another email to Epstein’s legal team, voicing concern over an emerging U.K. investigation:

“This would take whatever slim shred of a life I have after this mess and kill it.”

Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of sex trafficking minor girls in connection with Epstein’s abuse network. Her legal team has submitted a final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is set to be reviewed during the justices’ “long conference” — a session where petitions accumulated over summer recess are considered.

The newly released emails — particularly those directly contradicting Maxwell’s claims of distancing herself from Epstein — may further complicate her appeal.
