Judge Apologizes to Alleged WHCD Attacker for Treatment in Jail

/3 Comments/in , /by

A judge issued an apology to Cole Tomas Allen, the alleged White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner attacker, for how he has been treated while being held in jail.

During a hearing on Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui expressed his apologies to Allen, who has been “held in the safe cell,” according to ABC7 News. Faruqui reportedly said the safe cell was “tantamount to solitary confinement.”

The judge also gave the Washington, DC, Department of Corrections a deadline of Tuesday “to notify when the jail’s housing board will” make a decision regarding “which section of the jail” Allen will be placed in, according to the outlet.

Faruqui’s apology to Allen comes after Allen’s attorneys said in court filings that Allen “was placed on suicide watch shortly after arriving at the D.C. jail.”

Due to Allen being placed on suicide watch, he was put in “what’s known as a ‘safe cell,’ a padded room with constant lighting and 24-hour lockdown conditions,” according to the outlet. Allen’s attorneys claimed that he showed “no signs of being a risk.” (Read more from “Judge Apologizes to Alleged WHCD Attacker for Treatment in Jail” HERE)

/7 Comments/in , /by

Tammy Peterson says her husband, author and podcast superstar Dr. Jordan Peterson, is suffering a “neurological injury,” which has taken him out of the spotlight.

The clinical psychologist and young man whisperer stepped away from recording his popular YouTube show and podcast recently, prompting questions from fans.

His family told The Post he is primarily suffering from a “neurological injury,” from previously taking psychiatric medications.

“Dr. Peterson is at home with family and helpful companions,” Tammy reported. “His mornings are brutally painful and discouraging for him. Later, much later in the day, he sometimes feels some relief.”

Peterson had been taking the benzodiazepine Klonopin when his wife, Tammy, was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2019. Getting off the medication caused nightmarish withdrawal symptoms.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two American service members went missing over the weekend while participating in a joint military exercise with partner nations in North Africa. Search and rescue efforts are still underway.

CBS has reported that the two soldiers were off-duty and had decided to go on a hike to observe the sunset when one fell off of a cliff and into the water below. A number of soldiers then attempted to form a human chain to rescue their comrade in the water, but failed to pull them up. The second soldier then jumped into the water for a rescue attempt, but failed. A third soldier also attempted a rescue, but returned to shore after likewise failing.

US Destroys Six Iranian Ships In Straight Of Hormuz During ‘Project Freedom’

/2 Comments/in , /by

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) head Adm. Brad Cooper told reporters on Monday that the United States destroyed six Iranian boats that were threatening commercial ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump launched “Project Freedom” on Sunday, an effort by the U.S. Navy to help guide commercial ships through the Strait of Hormuz. On a press call with reporters, Cooper said the U.S. returned fire and destroyed Iranian forces who emerged to threaten the commercial ships.

“We have defeated each and every one of those threats,” Cooper told reporters.

“We defended this, both ourselves and consistent with our commitment, we defended all the commercial ships,” Cooper added. “We had drone launches against commercial ships, all of which were defended against consistent with our commitment, and then the small boats were all going against commercial ships, and all were sunk by Apaches and [inaudible] helicopters.”

Cooper told the Daily Caller that the U.S. has cleared an “effective pathway” through the strait. Two U.S. ships have passed through the strait in the last 24 hours. Following the exchange of fire, Cooper declined to speak about whether the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran was now over.

Trump’s New Surgeon General Pick Sparks Backlash, Splits MAHA Movement

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s new nominee for surgeon general is exposing divisions in the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, the health-focused coalition elevated inside the administration by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

“The new surgeon general nominee, Dr. Nicole Saphier, may have a great pro-life testimony, but she gets an F when it comes to all things MAHA,” said Turning Point USA health and wellness podcaster Alex Clark — a comment shared by other MAHA activists like Kelly Ryerson, an anti-pesticide advocate also known online as “Glyphosate Girl.”

“DOGE the Surgeon General!!! We want medical freedom!!!! If not Casey – we take no one!” added Vani Hari, also known online as “Feed Babe” and a prominent figure inside the MAHA movement.

She recently told The Atlantic that failing to confirm Means would “ruin the soul of MAHA.”

After Trump’s initial pick for surgeon general, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, was withdrawn in 2025, Trump selected Casey Means, a Stanford-trained physician, wellness author and entrepreneur, and vocal MAHA proponent who was close to Kennedy as he helped develop the Trump administration’s health agenda.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ex-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani emerged from a coma Monday and was talking and alert as he remained hospitalized in Florida while recovering from pneumonia, Big Apple billionaire pal John Catsimatidis said.

Catsimatidis said he received the uplifting news from a close former aide to the 81-year-old ex-“America’s mayor’’ Monday afternoon.

“He’s talking, he’s alert. To me, that’s great news,’’ the supermarket and media mogul told reporters.

Giuliani’s shocking weekend hospitalization occurred after he was stricken with the respiratory illness, said his business partner, Tom von Essen, who served as the city’s fire commissioner during 9/11.

“Rudy had a tough weekend. He had pneumonia,” von Essen told The Post, calling Monday “an important day’’ in terms of Giuliani’s recovery. (Read more from “Ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani out of Coma, Talking and Alert After Hospital Scare: Close Pal” HERE)

‘Armed and Dangerous’ Special Forces Veteran Hiding out in Tennessee Woods after Shooting Wife

/0 Comments/in , /by

A special forces veteran with “extensive” survival training has been on the lam for several days after he allegedly shot his wife at their Tennessee home and fled into the woods, according to authorities.

Craig Berry is wanted on a second-degree attempted murder charge for shooting his wife at his home in Dover around 1:30 a.m. on Friday, according to the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office.

Berry, a retired military special forces veteran, dashed into the woods near the residence in camouflage clothing before deputies could nab him, cops said.

His wife, who was not identified, was taken to a medical facility after the domestic altercation, police said. Her condition is not immediately known.

The department added in a statement that the multiagency manhunt for Berry across a heavily wooded stretch of the state may be “a lengthy process” as the vet has “extensive training in survival tactics” and is an “excellent swimmer and diver.”

He is considered “armed and dangerous” and vanished with at least one handgun. He is also believed to have taken extra ammunition, authorities added. (Read more from “‘Armed and Dangerous’ Special Forces Veteran Hiding out in Tennessee Woods after Shooting Wife” HERE)

Report: Somali Pirates Team Up with Houthi Terrorists to Attack Key Oil Trade Route

/0 Comments/in , /by

A report published this week suggests pirates from Somalia are once again threatening commercial shipping in the Red Sea, reportedly working with the Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen to menace a trillion-dollar flow of seaborne oil.

“Somali and Houthi-linked groups are teaming up — using skiffs and new tech to strike ships with coordination not seen in a decade — while Saudi crude rerouted from the Strait of Hormuz has created a target-rich environment for them,” RTCOM Defense CEO Ido Shalev told Fox News Digital.

“There is an opportunistic alignment, with the Houthis providing geopolitical cover and advanced GPS and surveillance, and Somali groups providing the boots on the ground or skiffs on the water,” he said.

Shalev said it was a return to the “Somali model” of piracy that grew prevalent in the 1990s after the collapse of Somalia’s central government. The Somalis had two thousand miles of coastline and a huge fleet of small fishing boats, which criminals quickly realized could be employed for swarming attacks against large commercial vessels as depicted in the 2013 film Captain Phillips.

The age of Somali piracy supposedly ended when the government in Mogadishu regained control over the coastline, but two new hijackings over the past ten days have revived the pirate menace, to the great embarrassment of the Somali government.

Supreme Court Restores Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone through Telehealth, Mail and Pharmacies

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court on Monday restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a lower-court ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortions are provided across the nation.

The order signed by Justice Samuel Alito temporarily allows women seeking abortions to obtain the pill at pharmacies or through the mail, without an in-person visit to a doctor.

Those practices had been permitted for several years until a federal appeals court imposed new restrictions last week.

The latest order will remain in effect for another week while both sides respond and the high court considers the issue more fully. (Read more from “Supreme Court Restores Access to Abortion Pill Mifepristone through Telehealth, Mail and Pharmacies” HERE)

Tucker Carlson Reveals Main Issue He Feels Is On Young Voter’s Minds. It’s Not What You Think.

/53 Comments/in , /by

During an interview published Saturday, Tucker Carlson told the New York Times he believes the most important issue impacting young Americans in the long term is access to economic opportunity.

In response to the NYT’s question about how he thinks controversial 27-year-old podcaster Nick Fuentes fits into the future of the American right, Carlson responded it is “so hard to know” adding that most “of the debates about race, ethnicity, religion, to some extent immigration, are less resonant long-term than debates about economics.”

“I think the main frustration among young people is not just that the composition of the country is changing too fast, which it definitely is,” the Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder said. “But the main concerns are about the lack of economic opportunity for American young people, who are totally screwed at a more profound level than people acknowledge. Older people do not acknowledge that.”

Carlson also told the NYT’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro that he had recently had dinner with “a bunch of really smart kids from Stanford.”

“And one of them said that his best friend just graduated with a degree in computer science last year and has not been able to find a job,” he recounted. “So that’s a window into the total destruction of the economic opportunity for young people, and what looks to me as a non-economist like the true hoarding of capital by a tiny group of people.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Reveals Main Issue He Feels Is On Young Voter’s Minds.
