‘Extremely Rageful’ Trans NYT Exec ‘Rained Hell’ on Family for Years, In-Laws’ Lawyer Claims after Slaying

/0 Comments/in , /by

The attorney for the alleged killer in-laws painted a drastically different picture Thursday of the transgender New York Times executive gunned down in a Northern California parking lot.

Curtis Briggs stood in front of the court where Jonathan McKinsey’s mother-in-law Shili Chen and father-in-law Shouyong Zhang were attending proceedings Thursday — and told reporters the victim had “rained hell on his family for years.”

“He was extremely rageful, could not control his temper, abused his wife so badly at one point he fractured her spine, abused the kids so badly that a court in Alameda County had to send him to parenting classes,” Briggs said. “McKinsey was extremely violent and dangerous to his family,” he added.

McKinsey faced allegations of spousal abuse and domestic violence from wife Candice Jang, well before he died Sept. 26, after Zhang and Chen allegedly shot him to death.

The New York Times employee was charged last year on two counts of misdemeanor child abuse for the incident, but was ultimately released from jail on the condition that he take parenting classes. Jang called the police after McKinsey allegedly hit their young son.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The State Department, led by Secretary Marco Rubio, has revoked more than 250,000 visas from foreign nationals since President Donald Trump took office in January 2025.

This week, Rubio announced that more than a quarter of a million visas have been revoked. On X, officials called it “a historic milestone that reflects our unwavering commitment to protecting the American people.”

In August, State Department officials revealed that most of the foreign nationals who, at that point, had their visas revoked were accused of assault, drunk driving, theft, drug crimes, as well as fraud, immigration violations, and endangering national security.

Jaw-Dropping Way Trump Allegedly Got Talked Into a War Is Leaked

/0 Comments/in , /by

Donald Trump spent hours asking Elon Musk’s AI chatbot about whether Venezuelans would celebrate if he captured leader Nicolas Maduro—then ordered the operation that seized the South American dictator weeks later.

The extraordinary account from a Trump insider was revealed in a new Time report offering a jaw-dropping glimpse of the president’s obsession with artificial intelligence, which he “officially” rebranded this week as “super intelligence.”

According to the report, Trump has “marveled at AI’s capabilities” ever since he returned to power, and during an Oval Office meeting with Elon Musk in December, he spent hours asking his Grok chatbot questions about his presidency and legacy.

At the time, the U.S. military had been conducting highly contentious lethal strikes against Venezuelan boats that Trump had claimed, without presenting any evidence, were smuggling drugs into America.

When the president asked Grok how Venezuelans might react to Maduro’s capture, the chatbot predicted many would welcome the downfall of the “repressive” leader, the official said. (Read more from “Jaw-Dropping Way Trump Allegedly Got Talked Into a War Is Leaked” HERE)

Two US Brothers Busted in $1.7M Hamas Fundraising Scheme — that was Exposed with Help from the NYPD

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two Louisiana brothers are facing terrorism charges for their alleged role in a twisted scheme to fund Hamas under the guise of Gaza humanitarian aid – and they were brought down with the help of the NYPD.

Abdel Adhami and his sibling Omar Adhami were busted in the Pelican State last month for allegedly raising money online and funneling it to Saleem Alzaq, a member of the terror group who regularly uses social media to post Hamas propaganda, according to newly unsealed federal indictments.

Abdel allegedly funneled more than $83,000 to Hamas from 2023 to 2026 while his brother is accused of sending $6,000.

According to Abdel’s complaint, he used several different Snapchat accounts to post Hamas propaganda and raise funds for the terrorist group, in addition to referring followers to a Telegram account.

The Telegram account “almost exclusively posted pro-HAMAS and pro-Palestinian Islamic Jihad messages, videos, and images, while soliciting donations,” the court docs said. (Read more from “Two US Brothers Busted in $1.7M Hamas Fundraising Scheme — that was Exposed with Help from the NYPD” HERE)

Trump Says He Regrets All 3 of His Supreme Court Picks

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said he regrets nominating all three of the Supreme Court justices he appointed during his first term, according to an interview published Thursday.

The president told TIME that Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett, the three he placed on the high court between 2017 and 2020, have voted against him too often since taking the bench.

Asked whether he regretted the nominations, Trump pointed to the appointments he had handed each justice.

“Yeah. Yeah. What can I do? I put them in,” Trump said. “They voted against me too often. I was very—I gave them the position of a lifetime, and they vote against me often. They vote for me too.”

The president tied his frustration to the court’s rulings on birthright citizenship and his emergency tariffs. (Read more from “Trump Says He Regrets All 3 of His Supreme Court Picks” HERE)

Tech Giant Catches Chinese AI Firm Red-Handed In 15,000 Phony Account Scheme

/0 Comments/in , /by

An American frontier artificial intelligence lab says it caught associates of a rival Chinese firm trying to copy its homework.

OpenAI said Wednesday it shut down an effort by more than 15,000 users to extract the “hidden reasoning” behind its AI models, tying a core group of people associated with Chinese-based Moonshot AI, the creator of the Kimi chatbot, according to a company report. The company warned that the technique could let rivals build copycat models without the safety protections OpenAI incorporates into its own, which risks national security.

“It is unclear whether all operators we observed during the relevant time period originated from a single actor. However, we attribute a core cluster of the activity to individuals associated with Moonshot AI, the developer of Kimi,” OpenAI said in its report.

The ChatGPT creator said it shut down or limited the fake accounts, made it harder to sign up for new ones and is watching more closely for similar activity, the report stated.

The distillation activity began July 1 and peaked July 24 and 25, when more than 4,000 users sent roughly 16,000 requests, according to the report. OpenAI shut the activity down by July 28. (Read more from “Tech Giant Catches Chinese AI Firm Red-Handed In 15,000 Phony Account Scheme” HERE)

Trump DOJ Confirms It Will Not Appeal Historic Ruling Ending Red Tape For Gun Suppressors

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) formally notified Congress Thursday that it will not appeal a ruling that ended paperwork and registration requirements for suppressors.

United States District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of the Northern District of Texas, a Trump appointee, handed down a ruling striking down the National Firearms Act requirements on Aug. 5 on the grounds that reducing the transfer tax to $0 rendered the registration and processing requirements of the NFA unconstitutional. In a Thursday letter to Congress, Solicitor General D. John Sauer told lawmakers the DOJ would let the ruling stand.

“The Department of Justice has determined not to file an appeal,” Sauer wrote, noting that the court had also foreclosed the use of the commerce clause to justify the registration and paperwork requirements.

The latest figure posted on the agency’s website indicates that as of Sept. 3, over 6.9 million suppressors were registered in accordance with the National Firearms Act. The National Shooting Sports Foundation reported in June that at least 6.1 million suppressors were privately-owned.
