According to a report from the New York Times, [convicted spy Jonathan] Pollard met with Huckabee at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem in July for a discussion that was “kept off Mr. Huckabee’s official schedule,” and revealed for the first time on Thursday.
. . .In his interview with the Times, Pollard also attacked President Trump, calling him a “madman who has literally sold us down the drain, for Saudi gold.”
Pollard, a former U.S. intelligence analyst, was sentenced to life in prison in 1987 after it was discovered that he had been selling American secrets to Israel, including the names of thousands of U.S. intelligence agency sources.
Pollard was released from prison in 2015 and moved to Israel in 2020 – flying on a private jet owned by top Trump donor Sheldon Adelson to Tel Aviv, where he was given a hero’s welcome by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In 2021, Trump pardoned Aviem Sella, the Israeli handler who recruited Pollard to spy on the United States. (Read more from “Traitor Who Sold American Secrets to Israel Hammers Trump as “Madman” HERE)

A popular Korean spa in New Jersey, where nudity is compulsory, will now let transgender women use the female-only section — even if they have male genitals — after being slapped with a lawsuit.
King Spa in Palisades Park recently changed its policies after it was sued by a trans woman for refusing to let [him] use the female facilities — despite [him] still having male anatomy, according to court documents obtained by The Post.
Under the change, the spa’s policy now clearly states that any guest may use the locker room that aligns with the gender identity displayed on their government- or state-issued photo ID.
If any spa-goer is uncomfortable with sharing facilities with a trans person who may have different genitalia from them, the policy states the customer can either request a private spa or give up use of the communal facilities going forward.
The wellness facility, which models itself after the traditional Korean spa known as a jimjilbang, requires men and women to be segregated in certain areas where clothing and any form of covering is banned.

Respected conservative pollster Richard Baris, known for his accurate reads on voter sentiment and one of the few who correctly forecasted Trump’s wins in both 2016 and 2020 when most others failed, has issued a stark “5-alarm” warning to President Trump and the MAGA movement. In analysis following the recent off-year elections in Virginia and New Jersey, Baris uncovered a troubling trend: significant drop-off among Republican voters who simply stayed home. While losses in deep-blue states were expected, the sheer scale of GOP abstention points to deeper MAGA discontent that could spell serious trouble for the 2026 midterms.
Baris, director of Big Data Poll and a regular on Steve Bannon’s War Room, stresses that traditional kitchen-table issues like the economy, immigration, and crime, are not what’s killing enthusiasm right now. Instead, his post-election surveying in New Jersey and Virginia revealed two standout grievances: Trump’s perceived sidelining of domestic priorities in favor of foreign entanglements (particularly, the administration’s focus on Israel) and his gross mishandling of the Epstein files release. The recent government shutdown ranked a very distant third.
Trump’s initial dismissal of Epstein questions as a “Dem hoax” landed poorly with a base that sees elite accountability and the Deep State as core reasons they voted for him. As Baris noted on X while quoting his earlier warnings: “Five months after our early warning poll, it’s becoming mainstream knowledge the mishandling of the #EpsteinFiles played a bigger role in the decline of Trump’s approval than some wanted to believe . . . I tried, CK. I did.”
Five months after our early warning poll, it's becoming mainstream knowledge the mishandling of the #EpsteinFiles played a bigger role in the decline of Trump's approval than some wanted to believe.
We're now learning it's role in key demos not voting.
— Rich Baris The People's Pundit (@Peoples_Pundit) November 19, 2025
Baris’s reference to Charlie Kirk (“CK”) was an apparent reminder that he had warned Kirk and others in the Trump orbit months earlier that downplaying or bungling the Epstein release would demoralize key voter demographics.
In a separate appearance relayed by Trump administration alum Grace Chong, Baris told Bannon bluntly: GOP voters feel the administration “got sidelined with things they did not care about,” and the shutdown only compounded the malaise. “The right needs a wake-up call,” he said. “They need to change this fast or they are going to get crushed.”
These frustrations are now showing up in broader polling, with Trump’s approval ratings softening amid nonstop attacks from Democrats, the media, and even 2028 hopefuls inside the party. Many in the base remain furious over the continued lack of accountability for Deep State figures despite repeated promises to drain the swamp.
The clear message is: don’t panic yet, but act immediately. There is still time to course-correct before the midterms, but pretending Democrats are too extreme to stage a comeback ignores recent history like New York City’s extreme leftward lurch. Baris’s track record makes his alarm impossible to dismiss as establishment spin, especially since he’s one of the only pollsters praised by Trump for his accuracy.
The path forward, according to Baris and other pro-MAGA analysts, is straightforward: refocus relentlessly on what actually animates the base: crushing inflation and economic pain, sealing the border, fighting crime in the streets, releasing the Epstein files unredacted, and delivering real prosecutions of the Deep State. If the President ignores this, the GOP will get crushed in 2026.

President Trump sharply rebuked ABC News on Tuesday and suggested the network should lose its broadcast license after Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce questioned him in the Oval Office about his family’s business connections with Saudi Arabia and the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Bruce pressed Trump during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, asking whether the Trump family’s Saudi business ventures presented a conflict of interest. Trump immediately bristled, accusing ABC of being part of what he called a “hoax” and labeling the network “one of the perpetrators.”
“I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and is so wrong,” Trump said. “And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should look at that.”
Despite the heated exchange, Trump did answer the question, asserting that he was not involved in Trump Organization decisions and had stepped away from the company entirely while serving as president. He maintained that any business dealings undertaken by his family were legitimate and minimal in Saudi Arabia. “What my family does is fine,” Trump said. “They’ve done very little in Saudi Arabia, actually, though I’m sure they can do a lot.”
Bruce’s questions also touched on a more internationally sensitive issue: the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the crown prince approved the 2018 killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump dismissed the characterization and defended the Saudi leader while downplaying Khashoggi’s significance. “You’re mentioning somebody that was extremely controversial,” he said. “A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman.” Trump added that the crown prince “knew nothing about it” and suggested that raising the question in front of the Saudi leader was disrespectful. “You don’t have to embarrass our guest,” he said.
The ABC correspondent also asked Trump why he called on Congress to release the Jeffrey Epstein files rather than ordering their release himself. Trump again responded by calling Bruce “fake news” and criticizing her demeanor rather than the substance of the question. “It wasn’t the question that I mind,” Trump said. “It’s the way you ask these questions. I think you are a terrible reporter.”
Bruce’s questions, while pointed, were grounded in topics that have been publicly documented. The Trump Organization has had past business discussions and interests in Saudi Arabia, including hotel branding and development efforts before Trump took office, making the subject of potential conflicts of interest a legitimate area of inquiry.
Additionally, U.S. intelligence agencies have publicly concluded that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman approved the 2018 killing of Jamal Khashoggi, and those findings have been acknowledged by multiple administrations.
On the Epstein matter, Trump’s call for Congress to release the files despite having the authority to release certain federal materials himself also raised a factual contradiction worth examining.
While Trump objected to Bruce’s tone and approach, the subjects she raised were based in evidence and public record. However, the president perceived both the line of questioning and its tone as intentionally combative and disrespectful.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee reportedly held a quiet, off-the-books meeting in July with convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard at the American Embassy in Jerusalem.
The off-the-books meeting startled officials in Washington and inside the U.S. intelligence community, who viewed the encounter as an extraordinary breach of long-standing boundaries, The New York Times reported. According to three U.S. officials familiar with the matter, the CIA station chief in Israel raised alarm after learning Huckabee and his senior adviser David Milstein brought Pollard into a secure American facility for what Pollard described as a “friendly” conversation.
Pollard told the NYT it was the first time in 10 years that any U.S. official had hosted him inside an American government office. He confirmed the meeting only after the newspaper approached him.
“It was a friendly meeting,” Pollard told the NYT in a phone interview Wednesday.
The White House was not notified in advance, according to one senior official and two people briefed on the meeting. Those officials said West Wing aides reacted with shock when they learned Huckabee invited one of the most infamous spies of the Cold War into the embassy. The State Department did not say whether anyone approved the meeting. (Read more from “Mike Huckabee Held ‘Friendly’ Embassy Meeting With Convicted Israeli Spy” HERE)

The air forces of several NATO states were scrambled overnight to protect the airspace of the alliance along its eastern border as Russia launched one of its deadliest air strikes against Ukraine’s western regions of the war so far.
Polish, Romanian, German, Spanish, Norwegian, and Dutch fighter jets were scrambled in two deployments in airspace bordering Ukraine over Poland and Romania and the Russian armed forces hammered western Ukraine. According to Kyiv, Russia launched 476 drones, 47 cruise missiles and one ballistic missiles in strikes across the country, but particularly on Western cities Ternopil and Lviv.
At least 20 people have been found dead in Ternopil, which is approximately 225 miles west of Ukrainian capital Kyiv and 110 miles short of the Polish border. Of the killed, at least two are children, and a further 66 were wounded including 16 children in the strikes which badly damaged two apartment blocks.
Ukraine said it scrambled its own Western-built jet fighters including U.S.-made F-16s and French Mirage-2000 jets to shoot down Russian missiles. In all, Kyiv said 41 cruise missiles were shot down, 10 of them by Western-supplied Ukraine Air Force jets.
The BBC notes the unusually large and deadly Russian air raid came one day after Ukraine said it had used U.S.-made ATACMS missiles against targets inside Russia, the first time this has happened under the Trump Presidency.

Chinese officials on Tuesday arrested 18 leaders of the underground Zion Church. Almost 30 pastors and staffers have been detained, without formal arrest, since the middle of October.
Zion Church is an underground or “house church,” meaning it has not been authorized and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese government is using a technique called “Sinicization” to take control of organized religion and make it subordinate to Communist Party doctrine. “Sinicized” churches, mosques, and temples are forced to teach Communist dogma in addition to their religious beliefs.
Millions of Chinese Christians have bravely chosen to defy the system by worshiping at “house churches,” so-called because they typically hold services in the homes of their congregants. The Zion Church was founded in 2007 by Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri, who converted to Christianity after the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989.
Jin’s church grew rapidly during the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic by offering services online — and even by defying dictator Xi Jinping’s harsh lockdown policies to hold services in person. Zion Church is now one of the largest remaining underground churches.
Xi’s regime launched its biggest crackdown on house churches in years this October, detaining dozens of pastors and staff members, including Pastor Jin. Five of the detainees were released in October and four more were released on bail in early November, according to Jin’s daughter Grace.

New Zealand health officials announced Wednesday that new prescriptions for puberty blockers will no longer be issued to children identifying as transgender.
Doctors will stop prescribing the gender-affirming medication — gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues — to minors starting Dec. 19, after the health ministry cited a lack of “high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks,” Health Minister Simeon Brown said.
Existing patients can still access the medication for gender dysphoria or other conditions, such as early-onset puberty, endometriosis, and prostate cancer.
Officials said 113 people were using puberty blockers in 2023 — down from 140 in 2021.
Hormone blockers can pause puberty and are occasionally used to treat children with gender dysphoria.
Critics slammed the decision, warning the ban will severely impact transgender and gender-diverse youth, arguing medical decisions should be left to the individuals doctor. (Read more from “New Zealand bans puberty blockers for transgender minors” HERE)
A Queens senior citizen who shot dead a man who tried to rob him will spend four years in prison after admitting to toting an unlicensed revolver — as his lawyer ripped the city’s “draconian” gun laws.
Charles Foehner, 67, pleaded guilty to one count of criminal weapons possession Thursday in a deal to end his case more than two years after he fatally shot would-be thief Cody Gonzalez, who charged at him near his Kew Gardens home.
The Queens District Attorney’s Office chose not to prosecute Foehner, a retired doorman, for Gonzalez’s killing after he told cops that he’d defended himself from a mugger who lunged at him late at night holding what looked like a knife — but which turned out to be a pen.
But prosecutors slapped Foehner with a slew of weapons raps for the unlicensed handgun and for an arsenal of illicit handguns, revolvers and rifles inside his home in the quiet neighborhood.
Foehner took the plea deal to avoid a trial, where he faced 25 years in prison on gun charges that are not hard to prove, said his attorney Thomas Kenniff after Thursday’s hearing in Queens Supreme Court.

The US Coast Guard denied claims it’s revising its policies to reclassify hate symbols, including the swastika and nooses, as “potentially divisive” symbols — slamming the suggestion as “categorically false.”
The claim, first reported by the Washington Post on Thursday afternoon, picks apart the Coast Guard’s “Harassing Behavior Prevention, Response, and Accountability” manual that was approved this month.
The military branch flatly denied the outlet’s report that it was planning to reclassify its list of hate symbols
“The claims that the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses or other extremist imagery as prohibited symbols are categorically false,” Admiral Kevin Lunday, acting commandant of the US Coast Guard, wrote in a statement on X. “These symbols have been and remain prohibited in the Coast Guard per policy. Any display, use or promotion of such symbols, as always, will be thoroughly investigated and severely punished.”

“The Coast Guard remains unwavering in its commitment to fostering a safe, respectful and professional workplace. Symbols such as swastikas, nooses and other extremist or racist imagery violate our core values and are treated with the seriousness they warrant under current policy.” (Read more from “US Coast Guard denies claim it will stop classifying swastikas as hate symbols: ‘Categorically false’” HERE)
