Angelina Jolie ‘Consumed by Guilt’ Over Bodyguard Being ‘Kidnapped’ by Ukraine Army and Forced Into War — ‘She Thinks It’s All Her Fault’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Angelina Jolie is “devastated and guilt-ridden” after her Ukrainian bodyguard was detained by the army and conscripted into military service during her humanitarian visit to the war-torn country.

Sources close to the Hollywood star, 50, say she believes her presence may have inadvertently triggered the incident – with one insider calling it “a nightmare she can’t stop replaying.”

Jolie was traveling through southern Ukraine on November 5 as part of a UNICEF mission when her security escort, 33-year-old Dmytro Pyshchikov, was stopped at a military checkpoint in Pivdennoukrainsk.

Guards discovered he had no valid exemption from service and ordered him to the local Territorial Recruitment Center in Voznesensk, Mykolaiv region – the department overseeing enlistment for the ongoing defense against Russian forces.

His family has not heard from him since. (Read more from “Angelina Jolie ‘Consumed by Guilt’ Over Bodyguard Being ‘Kidnapped’ by Ukraine Army and Forced Into War — ‘She Thinks It’s All Her Fault’” HERE)

Congressman, 71, Blames Elon For Looking at Dirty Pictures on Plane

/1 Comment/in , /by

Rep. Brad Sherman blamed Elon Musk’s X algorithm for serving him saucy pictures amid a potential scandal involving him scrolling through softcore pornography in public.

The 71-year-old California Democrat was photographed looking at pictures of lingerie-clad girls on his tablet while on a flight. The pictures of Sherman were posted to X by the Dear White Staffers account, an account made of a “group of Capitol Hill staffers working to expose poor working conditions.” The images were later reposted by Donald Trump Jr.

As the images circulated on social media, John Bresnahan of Punchbowl News secured an interview with Rep. Sherman, who claimed the photos were served to him by X’s algorithm.

“This was on Twitter. These pictures came up on ‘For You.’ I must’ve looked at more than 1,000 posts,” Sherman said.

X’s “For You” tab is an algorithmically driven feed that shows users a mix of old and new tweets from a variety of accounts, including ones they don’t follow. According to Social Bee, the content served in a user’s “For You” tab is determined by a variety of factors.

‘Called Me A Traitor’: MTG Holds Trump’s Feet To The Fire Over Epstein Files, Honoring ‘Terrorist’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told CNN’s Dana Bash on Sunday that President Donald Trump calling her a “traitor” was “hurtful,” a sentiment she reflected on the president over the Jeffrey Epstein files and recently meeting with the Syrian president.

Greene tore into Trump over what she dubbed his administration’s “shocking” handling of the Epstein files on “State of the Union with Jake Tapper and Dana Bash.” This was her first interview since Trump announced he would not be supporting his longtime stalwart for reelection in Georgia’s Republican primary. The congresswoman, who clarified during the interview she still supports Trump, is one of four House Republicans to support a discharge petition to release files related to the deceased sex trafficker Epstein. In recent weeks, she also publicly spoke out about her break with the administration on their handling of the matter.

Greene told Bash the “most hurtful” thing Trump said to her “is he called me a traitor.”

“Which is absolutely untrue … and that is so extremely wrong. And those are the types of words used that can radicalize people against me and put my life in danger,” Greene said.

“I stood with President Trump when virtually no one else did,” she added. “Campaigned all over the country. Spent millions of my own dollars helping him get elected.”

“I do support him and his administration, and I support them in delivering the campaign promises we made to the American people. His remarks, of course, have been hurtful,” Greene said. “However, I have something in my heart that I think is incredibly important for our country, and that is to end the toxic fighting in politics. And this has been going on for years, and it has divided our country, split up friends and families, neighbors, and it’s not solving our problems.” (Read more from “‘Called Me A Traitor’: MTG Holds Trump’s Feet To The Fire Over Epstein Files, Honoring ‘Terrorist’” HERE)

Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Bomb Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

A United Airlines flight on its way to Chicago was forced to make an emergency landing in Missouri Sunday after a passenger said there was a bomb in his wife’s luggage, according to reports and authorities.

United Flight 380 from Dallas to Chicago landed in St. Louis on Sunday morning due to a potential security concern, a United Airlines spokesperson said in a statement to The Post.

The plane was diverted to St. Louis Lambert International Airport around 8:40 a.m. after a man said there was a bomb in a piece of his wife’s luggage, sources told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The allegedly unwieldy man was arrested, the outlet said.

His identity or whether he has been charged is not immediately clear.

All 119 passengers were promptly evacuated and waited on the concourse upon landing, the airport’s director, Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, told the outlet. (Read more from “Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Bomb Threat” HERE)

Trump Reverses Course on Epstein Files: Supports Release After Previously Calling It a ‘Democrat Hoax’

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a dramatic turnaround, President Donald Trump on Sunday called for House Republicans to support the full release of Jeffrey Epstein documents — a marked shift from his prior stance labeling the battle a left-wing “hoax.”

The surprise reversal came as the House neared a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a bipartisan effort led by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). Trump wrote on Truth Social: “House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.”

He doubled down, blaming his earlier criticism on what he called “Radical Left Lunatics” trying to distract from the Republican Party’s “great success.” But he also confirmed he wants a criminal-style investigation: he said he will ask the Department of Justice and the FBI to probe Epstein’s ties to major Democratic figures — including Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, and J.P. Morgan Chase — while notably leaving out any Republican names from his target list.

Newly Released Emails Raise Troubling Allegations

Trump’s shift follows a fresh eruption of documents from the House Oversight Committee, which on Wednesday released over 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate. These files include damning statements in Epstein’s own emails, once shared with House Democrats, that appear to tie Trump more deeply to conversations about Epstein’s underage victims.

According to Factually, a fact-checking site, analysts reviewed the House Oversight Committee materials and estimated that Trump is mentioned in more than 1,600 of the 2,324 email threads in that batch.

In one 2011 exchange between Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein writes:

“I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump … [Redacted] spent hours at my house with him … he has never once been mentioned. … im 75 % there.”

— Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwel

In a separate 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein states:

“Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

In a separate 2019 email to author Michael Wolff, Epstein states:

“Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”

Trump’s reversal has raised eyebrows from both sides of the aisle. Critics say his change of heart comes only after the newly released documents make his past denials harder to sustain publicly.

The timing may also have political motives. Earlier in November, Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in secured the final signature needed to force a House floor vote on the Transparency Act — meaning Trump risks being on the wrong side of a formal congressional majority.

Nevertheless, Trump and his allies are pushing back. The White House dismissed the newly released emails as a politically driven leak, insisting the president has nothing to hide.

In a statement, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt argued that Democrats are “selectively leaking emails” to create bad-faith narratives, adding that Trump already distanced himself from Epstein years ago — and even kicked him out of Mar-a-Lago for inappropriate behavior.

With a House vote imminent and the pressure mounting, all eyes now turn to how many Republicans will side with Trump — or break from him. As he calls for renewed investigations into Epstein’s connections with powerful figures, his reversal draws fresh attention to exactly what kind of relationship he once had with the disgraced financier.

MTG: Trump Calling Me a Traitor Puts ‘My Life in Danger’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said President Donald Trump calling her a traitor put her life in danger.

Host Dana Bash, “As you just heard, and I know you saw, the president says he’s withdrawing support for you, encouraging primary challengers. You were one of his biggest supporters. What do you think happened here?”

Taylor Greene said, “I stood with President Trump when virtually no one else did, campaigned all over the country, spent millions of my own dollars helping him get elected. And I think that’s incredibly important. And I do support him and his administration. I support them in delivering the campaign promises we made to the American people.

Texas, California National Guard Being Recalled from Chicago, Portland Deployments

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of War ordered Texas and California National Guard to return to their home states, ending deployments to Chicago and Portland. The orders following intervention from activist judges who claimed there was no justification for the military’s assistance in these cities.

In Chicago, 200 Texas National Guard soldiers were deployed to the Chicago area in October in response to violent protests and actions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and facilities. Texas Governor Greg Abbott authorized the federal government to deploy the National Guard, which has been patrolling the nation’s southern border during the Biden-era border crisis, Breitbart Texas’ Randy Clark reported.

The Guardsmen were deployed under the president’s Title 10 authority which was challenged by U.S. District Court Judge April Perry, CNN reported. The U.S. Supreme Court asked for an additional briefing on the case.

In addition to the 200 members of the Texas National Guard deployed to Chicago, President Donald Trump also ordered 200 members of the California National Guard to be deployed to Portland, Oregon. These soldiers are also being recalled to their home states, according to ABC News.

Department of War officials reportedly said the soldiers in both deployments engaged in “forward-facing” operations and instead, remained behind the scenes. (Read more from “Texas, California National Guard Being Recalled from Chicago, Portland Deployments” HERE)

WATCH: Epstein Files Fallout: Trump Turns on Greene, Labels Her ‘Wacky Lunatic’

/10 Comments/in , , /by

In a stunning rupture between two of the most outspoken figures in the Republican Party, President Donald Trump on Friday publicly withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, accusing the Georgia firebrand of drifting “Far Left” and obsessing over the release of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents.

“I am withdrawing my support and Endorsement of ‘Congresswoman’ Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the Great State of Georgia,” Trump declared on Truth Social in an early-morning broadside that stunned GOP insiders.

He called Greene “wacky,” a “lunatic,” and said she has become consumed with “COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!”

Greene, once one of Trump’s most loyal allies on Capitol Hill, has deviated from the president on several issues in recent weeks — including supporting an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies and joining a bipartisan push to force public release of Epstein files.

The tension, Trump said, began when he advised Greene not to seek higher office.

“It seemed to all begin when I sent her a Poll stating that she should not run for Senator, or Governor — she was at 12%, and didn’t have a chance (unless, of course, she had my Endorsement — which she wasn’t about to get!),” Trump wrote.

He also mocked Greene for allegedly complaining that he no longer took her calls:

“With 219 Congressmen/women, 53 U.S. Senators, 24 Cabinet Members, almost 200 Countries… I can’t take a ranting Lunatic’s call every day.”

Trump hinted strongly that he is prepared to back a primary challenger in Georgia’s 14th District.

“I understand that wonderful, Conservative people are thinking about primarying Marjorie… if the right person runs, they will have my Complete and Unyielding Support,” he said.

He blasted Greene for making an appearance on The View, calling the hosts “Low IQ Republican hating Anchors.”

Greene is one of only four House Republicans who signed a discharge petition led by Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna to force a vote compelling the Department of Justice to release unclassified Epstein documents.

Trump has repeatedly dismissed Democratic efforts around the Epstein investigation as a “hoax,” but on Friday signaled he would direct DOJ and the FBI to probe Epstein’s ties to “Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many others.”

The president did not mention any investigation into Republicans or Trump associates who appear in flight logs or other records.

Within hours, Greene responded like a jilted ex — by posting her private text messages with Trump.

“President Trump just attacked me and lied about me,” she wrote on X.

“I haven’t called him at all, but I did send these text messages today.”

The texts, addressed to “DJT,” show Greene urging Trump to “check the flight logs of Epstein’s plane,” alleging Bill Clinton flew with Epstein “26 times! Hillary too!!”

She argued that releasing the full Epstein files is necessary “for the women who were victims” and to expose “Democrat bad guys.”

Another text to a Trump aide, Natalie, shows Greene insisting she has defended Trump tirelessly for years and that the Epstein case is “not a hoax.”

“Apparently this is what sent him over the edge,” Greene concluded. “The Epstein files.”

Hikers Catch Mountain Lion Staring Them Down In Tense Video

/2 Comments/in , , /by

Mountain lions — also known as cougars, pumas or panthers — are confirmed to have established wild populations in 16 U.S. states, with all but one (Florida) lying to the Mississippi River’s west.

States with large mountain lion include Colorado, with Colorado Parks and Wildlife estimates reaching as high as 7,000, though the agency noted the total was more likely from around 3,500 to 4,500, according to the Mountain Lion Foundation. Texas is among the other 15 states on the list and its mountain lion population is also uncertain.

Mountain lions’ territory spans mainly in the southwestern region of Texas, home to Big Bend National Park, per BroBible. Hikers exploring that vast roughly 1,250-square-mile area are warned to stay alert for mountain lions, and a few were doing just that when they suddenly found themselves being stared down by one while on the trail.

Three hikers who set out before dawn Saturday on the Boot Canyon Trail got more than they bargained for when a mountain lion suddenly bolted across the path in front of them, according to the Houston Chronicle. It climbed a nearby hill and paused to stare back at the group — a moment the hikers managed to capture on video. (Read more from “Hikers Catch Mountain Lion Staring Them Down In Tense Video” HERE)

‘Maryland Man’ Democrats Rushed To Defend Called Human Smugglers At Least 500 Times, Docs Allege

/2 Comments/in , /by

Kilmar Abrego Garcia allegedly called a convicted migrant smuggler and another co-conspirator hundreds of times in a single year while running a human smuggling operation.

Federal prosecutors allege Abrego Garcia, an illegal migrant who has become one of the biggest names in the Trump administration’s national deportation agenda, used multiple phones to communicate with co-conspirators while smuggling foreign nationals across the U.S., according to court documents. The Salvadoran national purportedly called Jose Hernandez-Reyes, an illegal migrant previously convicted of alien smuggling, and another co-conspirator more than 500 times in 2022 alone.

Abrego Garcia became the face of the Trump administration’s hardline immigration enforcement agenda when he was deported to his home country of El Salvador earlier this year, despite a prior withholding of removal order that prohibited his repatriation. He was eventually flown back to the U.S. to face human smuggling charges in Tennessee, with Attorney General Pam Bondi accusing him of making over 100 trips smuggling illegal migrants.

A spokesperson for his attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The details were submitted in court as the Trump administration says it’s accumulated mounting evidence that Abrego Garcia participated in a years-long conspiracy to smuggle illegal migrants across the southern border while he lived unlawfully in the U.S. (Read more from “‘Maryland Man’ Democrats Rushed To Defend Called Human Smugglers At Least 500 Times, Docs Allege” HERE)
