Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos’ Release From Prison

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump commuted serial fabulist and former GOP Rep. George Santos’ seven-year prison sentence on Friday, citing “horrible” mistreatment by the Bureau of Prisons and claiming Santos’ unlawful conduct was not nearly as bad as the fibs of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

Santos, 36, sobbed in court during his April 25 sentencing after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He reported to FCI Fairton in Fairfield Township, NJ, on July 25.

He’s since dished to The South Shore Press on the appalling “fluorescent yellow … state-issued polyester” jumpsuits, as well as mold and broken AC units in the prison.

The lying Long Island pol admitted in August 2024 to defrauding donors to his successful 2022 House campaign and using the names of dozens of others — including family and friends — to falsely inflate his number of contributors.

“George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” Trump said on Truth Social as he flew from Washington to his Mar-a-Lago resort. “I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal came up again.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep.

Democratic Senate Candidate Graham Platner Calls For Violence In Now-Deleted Posts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner once urged violence as a tool for social change in a now-deleted Reddit post, according to Politico.

Platner, a former Marine and oyster farmer, wrote in 2018 that “an armed working class is a requirement for economic justice” and suggested that those who “expect to fight fascism without a good semi-automatic rifle” should “do some reading of history,” the outlet reported.

Platner did not dispute his authorship of the posts but renounced his past rhetoric in a statement to Politico.

“As I told CNN, I was f**king around on the internet at a time when I felt lost and very disillusioned with our government who sent me overseas to watch my friends die,” Platner said. “I made dumb jokes and picked fights. But of course I’m not a socialist. I’m a small business owner, a Marine Corps veteran, and a retired s**tposter.”

Trump Threatens to ‘Go In and Kill’ Hamas if Gaza Executions Continue

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. President Trump threatened Thursday to “go in and kill” Hamas terrorists if they continue to slaughter suspected adversaries in Gaza following the jihadists’ truce with Israel.

“If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them,” Trump warned in a short Truth Social post.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Disturbing footage emerged on social media this week showing public executions of Palestinians, who were blindfolded and forced to their knees before they were shot from behind by Hamas gunmen.

The terror group claimed the targeted Palestinians were “criminals and collaborators with Israel,” according to the BBC.

Following the breakthrough cease-fire that has stopped – for now – two years of war, Hamas has worked quickly to reassert control of the Gaza Strip. (Read more from “Trump Threatens to ‘Go In and Kill’ Hamas if Gaza Executions Continue” HERE)

Israel blocking Turkish rescue teams from Gaza until Hamas returns hostages’ remains – official

By The Jerusalem Post. Israel will continue refusing to allow a Turkish delegation of 81 rescue personnel and heavy equipment to enter the Gaza Strip until Hamas returns all the remains of deceased hostages that it can, an Israeli official told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

“There is a group of hostages’ bodies that Hamas can return right now [and] another group they know the location of, but they need equipment and assistance to retrieve them,” another source said. “And there are some bodies they genuinely do not know where they are.”

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Thursday: “We know for certain that Hamas can easily release a significant number of hostages in accordance with the agreement. What they are doing now is a fundamental violation of that agreement.”

After the meeting, Netanyahu spoke with Trump regarding Hamas’s delayed return of the remaining deceased hostages in Gaza. . .

Mediators have said heavy equipment and experienced rescue teams would be essential to recover the remains. (Read more from “Israel blocking Turkish rescue teams from Gaza until Hamas returns hostages’ remains – official” HERE)

Horror as airports across America and Canada blast pro-Hamas messages over their loudspeakers

By Daily Mail. The public address systems of four airports across the US and Canada were hacked to blast pro-Hamas political messages and disparage President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benajmin Netanyahu.

Videos taken by confused passengers at Harrisburg International Airport in Pennsylvania have emerged on social media as the group claiming responsibility for the stunt warned of ‘a second September 11.’

In the footage, a computer-generated sounding voice can be heard chanting ‘Free, free Palestine’ and ‘F**k Netanyahu and Trump.’ The voice can also be heard saying, ‘Turkish hacker Siberislam is here.’ . . .

Similar hacks were reported at three other airports by Transport Canada, the agency that regulates airport operations north of the border. The affected locations were Kelowna International Airport and Victoria International Airport in British Columbia and Windsor International Airport in Ontario.

The hack also impacted flight information displays and plastered pro-Hamas messages across the screens. In red lettering over a black background the text read ‘Isreal lost the war, Hamas won honorably you are a pig, Donald Trump.’ (Read more from “Horror as airports across America and Canada blast pro-Hamas messages over their loudspeakers” HERE)

European Socialists Suddenly Realize Open Border Policies Makes People Hate Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

Europe’s socialist leaders are avoiding the topic of illegal immigration as they struggle to compete with conservative populism across the continent.

The Party of European Socialists (PES), Europe’s second-largest political group, is hosting a three-day summit in Amsterdam beginning Thursday to energize activists as elections play out in various European countries. However, the leftist coalition will barely be addressing the issue of mass immigration, despite it being a top concern among European leaders.

“Migrants are increasingly criminalized and used as a scapegoat for social and economic hardships and to justify discriminatory policies,” states the one and only reference to the subject in the PES’ final declaration of the congress, first obtained by Politico. A Social Policy program, to be approved on Friday, also states the need to guarantee “the protection of migrants, asylum seekers and undocumented people.”

Immigration is not mentioned in an outline establishing the group’s priorities and talking points, and there is no scheduled debate for the issue, according to Politico.

Europe experienced an illegal immigration crisis in the mid-2010s when civil war in Syria and other international conflicts caused massive refugee flows, with more than one million illegal migrants landing on the continent in 2015.

Democrats Block Legislation To Pay Troops During Shutdown

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats blocked the Senate from considering a defense spending bill on Thursday afternoon that would pay military service members during the shutdown.

Senators voted 50 to 44, with just three Democrats breaking with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to advance a full-year defense appropriations bill. The failed vote comes as Congress is locked in a stalemate to end the 16-day shutdown with Democrats largely refusing to cross party lines and reopen the government.

The defense appropriations bill would fund the Department of War for the upcoming fiscal year and ensure that active-duty troops do not miss a paycheck during the shutdown. The measure also includes a military pay raise.

Military personnel would have gone without pay for the first time in U.S. history on Wednesday if President Donald Trump had not tapped unused Pentagon funding to temporarily cover troop pay.

However, there is no guarantee of future paychecks for military personnel if the shutdown continues into November. (Read more from “Democrats Block Legislation To Pay Troops During Shutdown” HERE)

Israel PM Netanyahu in Court for Graft Trial Appearance

/1 Comment/in , /by

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was back in a Tel Aviv court on Oct 15 for the latest hearing in his long-running corruption trial, which opened in May 2020.

The prime minister kept a smiling face as he and his entourage of several ministers from his conservative Likud party were heckled by protesters en route to the tribunal.

It comes after US President Donald Trump suggested on Oct 13 that the Israeli premier should be pardoned in his three separate corruption cases.

His latest appearance at the Tel Aviv court also follows the return of the hostages taken by Hamas as part of Mr Trump’s US-brokered plan to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

In one case, Mr Netanyahu and his wife Sara are accused of accepting more than US$260,000 (S$336,970) worth of luxury goods, including champagne, cigars and jewellery, from billionaires in exchange for political favours.

Alaska Air Guard Evacuates Hundreds from Western Alaska

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Alaska Air National Guard C-17 evacuated over 300 civilians from the remote western coast of Alaska to emergency shelters in Anchorage, the latest in the military response to massive flooding caused by Typhoon Halong over the weekend. The crew flew the evacuation from Bethel, the only town along the impacted coast with a runway large enough to handle heavy cargo jets.

Many onboard had been rescued in recent days by Alaska Army and Air Guard teams, Coast Guard and state rescue workers who spent the previous several days finding and moving civilians from surrounding towns where homes and buildings had been left destroyed or uninhabitable by flood waters.

Military and state rescue forces had rescued at least 51 people in those remote villages over the weekend, officials said.

The storm received little attention outside the state, but left a trail of devastation through several coastal villages whose populations are mostly Alaskan natives. The flooding has torn buildings, including some homes, from their foundations and floated them away.

The rescues have taken place in the communities of Kipnuk and Kwigillingok, an Alaska National Guard news release says. At least one person has been killed by the storm and two are missing, the Associated Press is reporting. (Read more from “Alaska Air Guard Evacuates Hundreds from Western Alaska” HERE)

John Bolton Indicted Over Handling of Classified Materials

/0 Comments/in , /by

The US Justice Department has charged John Bolton, a former national security adviser to President Donald Trump during his first term, with allegedly mishandling classified materials.

Bolton was indicted on 18 counts by a federal grand jury in Maryland. He’s accused of breaking laws related to the transmission or retention of national defense information, according to a copy of the indictment made public Thursday.

The alleged misconduct spanned from about April 2018 to August 2025, according to the indictment. Bolton “abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities” on the job, prosecutors said.

Bolton, who became one of Trump’s fiercest critics, is the latest of the president’s perceived enemies to face charges. Bolton has previously denied mishandling classified information.

“Anyone who abuses a position of power and jeopardizes our national security will be held accountable,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “No one is above the law.” (Read more from “John Bolton Indicted Over Handling of Classified Materials” HERE)

Questions Arise Over Alleged Google Searches Before Charlie Kirk Killing

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In the days following the shocking murder of right-wing podcaster Charlie Kirk, social media has become a breeding ground for speculation — and now, one particularly unusual theory is gaining attention online.

While rumors about who ordered or carried out Kirk’s killing have ranged from political plots to faked-death claims, this new theory doesn’t focus on the people directly involved. Instead, it looks at Google search data — and suggests that someone may have known about the alleged killer, Tyler James Robinson, before Kirk’s death.

The Google Trends Conspiracy Theory

The theory began circulating on TikTok, where a creator claimed that Google Trends data shows an odd pattern of searches leading up to the tragedy. According to the video, Kirk was murdered on September 10, 2025, but there were Google searches for “Tyler James Robinson” from the Washington, D.C. metro area a full day earlier — on September 9, 2025.

This is probably nothing… 🤷‍♂️

♬ Mysterious and sad BGM(1120058) – S and N

That’s significant because the public didn’t learn Robinson’s name until September 11 and 12, after authorities identified him as the suspect. The TikToker shared screenshots purporting to show a small spike in searches for Robinson before his name was publicly known, suggesting that someone “knew” about him in advance.

The theory also claims there was a small spike in searches for “Losee Center” — the building where Robinson allegedly took aim at Kirk — on September 8, two days before the shooting.

Adding another twist, the TikToker alleged that a rare firearm used in the killing also saw an unexplained surge in searches on August 27, again traced to the Washington, D.C. area.

Missing Data Raises More Questions

However, when users tried to verify these claims, they hit a roadblock. The TikToker who shared the theory claimed that the graphs they used in their video — supposedly screenshots of historical Google Trends data — “no longer appear.”

Independent checks confirm that these specific search trends do not currently show up on Google Trends. Whether the data ever existed or was fabricated remains unclear.

Still, that hasn’t stopped people from speculating. Some users believe the data was “scrubbed” after drawing too much attention, while others think the entire claim was built on doctored screenshots.

Online Reactions and Skepticism

Another pushed back, arguing that the supposed screenshots don’t match Google’s actual Trends design, colors, or font. “The graphs are fake,” they wrote.

But not everyone is convinced they’re fake. One user claiming to have over a decade of experience in Google search analytics responded, “Only the red frame was added, in my opinion. My expertise is 13 years of Google search marketing.”

The data cited in the viral TikTok video cannot be independently confirmed, and Google has not made any statements about it.

Letitia James Is Housing Felon OnlyFans Model Relative at Her Other Virginia Property — Which Also Faced Fed Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

New York Attorney General Letitia James is housing a second felon family member at her properties in Virginia — and The Post can reveal she and her big sister were partners in crime.

James’ grand-niece Cayla Thompson-Hairston, 21 — who is an OnlyFans star with a public, X-rated social media presence — was charged in April 2024 with lying about her felony criminal record when she tried to buy a gun in Suffolk, Virginia, according to court docs.

Cayla was legally “disqualified” from owning a firearm due to an August 2020 felony charge of malicious wounding — which Virginia law defines as a crime in which a person “shoots, stabs, cuts or wounds any other person, or by any means causes bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable or kill.”

Thompson-Hairston was a juvenile at the time, and the records of that case are sealed.

In 2019, when Cayla was just 15 years old, she was also caught up in the criminal hijinks of her big sister, Nakia Thompson, 36, who is a wanted fugitive by North Carolina authorities with a slew of arrests, according to docs.
