Northern US To Experience Snow, Ice As Back-To-Back Storms Forecast To Move Through Region

/0 Comments/in , /by

A clipper system is set to sweep through New England early this week, delivering another dose of snow to northern regions of the United States already burdened by a snowy winter so far.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, light snow is anticipated throughout the Northeast, including areas such as upstate New York, Vermont and New Hampshire prior to shifting into Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

This latest snowfall arrives as the Northeast continues to grapple with an abundance of winter weather this season. Notably, regions right outside New York City, including Mamaroneck, New York, have already seen light snow.

Buffalo, New York picked up around five inches of snow Sunday, coinciding with the Bills’ final regular-season game at Highmark Stadium before the venue’s closure.

Isolated snow showers may pop up Monday across New York City and Long Island, though no major disruptions are anticipated. (Read more from “Northern US To Experience Snow, Ice As Back-To-Back Storms Forecast To Move Through Region” HERE)

Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Plans to Flee to Russia If Security Team Fails, Turns on Him as Regime Gripped by Unrest: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reportedly plans to escape to Moscow if his security team falters or turns on him amid ongoing unrest in his country featuring protesters chanting for his death.

Khamenei, 86, will catch a flight with his inner circle, including roughly 20 aides and members of his family, if the Islamic Republic’s army is overwhelmed by the swelling protests – or if the security forces decide to defect, an intelligence source told The Times.

His son and “nominated heir apparent” would also flee, the source said.

Khamenei’s general escape plan mirrors that of fallen Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, who fled Damascus by plane and landed in Moscow with his family – while the country’s opposition forces stormed the nation’s capital in December 2024.

“They have plotted an exit route out of Tehran should they feel the need to escape,” which includes “gathering assets, properties abroad and cash to facilitate their safe passage”, the source said.

Alleged JD Vance Home Vandal Is Son of Wealthy Doctor, Dem Donor — Who Recently Changed Name to Julia

/0 Comments/in , /by

The deranged hammer-wielding alleged vandal accused of busting several windows at Vice President JD Vance’s home in Cincinnati is allegedly the son of a prominent millionaire family — and appears to have been going by “Julia” in recent weeks.

William DeFoor, 26, was arrested early Monday after allegedly shattering four windows at Vance’s home. Police said that DeFoor was attempting to break into the home around midnight.

The Vances, who moved into the vice president’s official residence in Washington, DC, after the inauguration, were not in Ohio at the time.

It’s unclear whether DeFoor identifies as transgender or nonbinary, but he recently appeared to be posting under the name Julia DeFoor. Cops listed the suspect’s name as William, and his gender as male.

In his mugshot, DeFoor has an unkempt, matted mullet – and a dead-eyed stare.

DeFoor’s father, also named William, is a successful Harvard University graduate. (Read more from “Alleged JD Vance Home Vandal Is Son of Wealthy Doctor, Dem Donor — Who Recently Changed Name to Julia” HERE)

Trump Says US Will Temporarily Run Venezuela, ‘Not Afraid of Boots on Ground’ If Necessary

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump told the nation the US would now take over running Venezuela, after strongman Nicolas Maduro was captured “in the dead of night.”

“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said at a press conference from his Mar-a-Lago resort as he provided new details on the stunning military operation.

“We’re going to run it, essentially” through the transition, he said.

The logistics of a US-run Venezuela were still being worked out, but Trump said it might involve military “boots on the ground.”

“We’re not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to,” the president said. “We had boots on the ground last night, at a very high level, actually.”

Later, Trump added, “We’re going to have [a] presence in Venezuela as it pertains to oil.” (Read more from “Trump Says US Will Temporarily Run Venezuela, ‘Not Afraid of Boots on Ground’ If Necessary” HERE)

Trump Admin Moves To Strip Alleged Foreign War Criminal Of Citizenship

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a civil complaint Monday to revoke the citizenship of a man facing a war crimes arrest in Bosnia.

Sead Miljkovic allegedly gave false information to immigration authorities upon receiving his U.S. citizenship in 2007, according to a DOJ press release.

Miljkovic was a member of the security forces of the Autonomous Province of Western Bosnia (APZB) and was subject to an arrest warrant issued by Bosnian courts regarding alleged war crimes against civilians during the time he received his citizenship, according to the DOJ.

The DOJ alleges that Miljkovic, who also used the last name Dukic, hid his true identity by failing to disclose that he had used more than one name, listed more than one date and place of birth, more than one name of his father and more than one woman listed as his wife in multiple applications.

“This Administration will not permit aliens to come to this country and hide their past to acquire the precious gift of U.S. citizenship,” Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the DOJ’s Civil Division said in a statement. “Decades might pass, but when we find you, we will take action.” (Read more from “Trump Admin Moves To Strip Alleged Foreign War Criminal Of Citizenship” HERE)

Notorious Socialist Dictator Nicolás Maduro Perp Walked Ahead Of Facing ‘Full Wrath Of American Justice’; Someone Made a Huge Profit Predicting Maduro’s Capture

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. Deposed socialist Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro arrived at a New York City jail Saturday night, hours after U.S. military forces captured him in Caracas, and awaits arraignment on four criminal charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy.

A 12-second video posted to X late Saturday by the White House’s Rapid Response account shows Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents escorting an apparently handcuffed Maduro, wearing a hat and grasping a water bottle, through the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn (MDC Brooklyn). In the video, which the social media account captioned “Perp walked,” the ex-leader can be heard saying “good night” in both English and Spanish, as well as “happy new year” in English — apparently his first public remarks since being taken into U.S. custody.

Another one of MDC Brooklyn’s current inmates is Luigi Mangione, the 27-year-old man accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December 2024. The pretrial detention facility’s previous inmates notably include sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, and cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.

Combs’s lawyers wrote that several courts “have recognized that the conditions at [MDC Brooklyn] are not fit for pre-trial detention” in a 2024 motion for bail. Maxwell also reportedly took issue with the jail’s accommodations during her stay, with the Jeffrey Epstein accomplice having complained of its allegedly abusive guards and plentiful rats.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, in a Saturday morning post to X, vowed Maduro “will soon face the full wrath of American justice on American soil in American courts.” (Read more from “Notorious Socialist Dictator Nicolás Maduro Perp Walked Ahead Of Facing ‘Full Wrath Of American Justice’” HERE)

Someone Made a Huge Profit Predicting Maduro’s Capture. Here’s What Happened

By Axios. Traders and speculative bettors earned huge profits on prediction markets because of the capture of Venezuela President Nicolás Maduro.

Why it matters: Though the capture of Maduro seemed to come out of the blue for many Americans, some were ahead of the curve, netting them thousands of dollars.

These bets — many of which were on Maduro’s capture, and are now on what happens next to the ousted leader — will renew longstanding questions about inside information and access to prediction markets.

Driving the news: Traders on Polymarket appeared to anticipate Maduro’s capture late Friday night, before President Trump announced it early Saturday morning.

The market for whether or not Maduro would be out of power climbed shortly before 10pm ET on Friday, after hovering in the low single digits for weeks, per the Wall Street Journal.

What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro’s exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Announces He Will Convert To Christianity Before He Dies

/0 Comments/in , , /by

“Dilbert” creator Scott Adams announced on his podcast “Real Coffee With Scott Adams” that he plans on converting to Christianity before he passes away.

Adams announced that he has prostate cancer on his podcast on May 15, 2025, a condition he said he has “essentially zero” chance of recovering from on his Thursday show. Adams said on his Sunday that his Christian friends and followers have implored him to convert to Christianity before he passes away, and that despite being a non-believer for a long time, he plans to do so.

“I have not been a believer,” said Adams. “But I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me, because how would I believe you wouldn’t believe your own religion if you’re not trying to convert me?”

The cartoonist added that “out of great respect” for the people who have tried to convince him to become a Christian, that he plans on converting. As for any skepticism he may still have, he said it will be “instantly answered” if he wakes up in heaven.

“I’m now convinced that the risk-reward is completely smart,” Adams said to his Christian listeners. “If it turns out that there’s nothing there, I’ve lost nothing, but I’ve respected your wishes and I like doing that. If it turns out there is something there and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win.” (Read more from “Dilbert Creator Scott Adams Announces He Will Convert To Christianity Before He Dies” HERE)

Two Major Hospitals Pull the Plug on ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors

/0 Comments/in , /by

On December 18, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced new and sweeping regulatory changes that would bring an end to “gender-affirming care” for minors. This includes a ban on puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical procedures for those under 18 years of age.

The reforms mean that hospitals that continue to provide such “gender-affirming care” to children would be stripped of all federal funding as a condition of their participation in Medicare/Medicaid programs.

In his announcement, Kennedy said, “Doctors assume a solemn obligation to protect children. Yet doctors across the country now provide needless and irreversible sex-rejecting procedures that violate their sacred Hippocratic oath, endangering the very lives that they are sworn to safeguard.” . . .

According to 9News, both Children’s Hospital Colorado and Denver Health said they would no longer be writing or filling prescriptions for “gender-affirming care” for minors, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. Neither facility performed “gender-affirming surgeries” on minors.

In a statement, Children’s Hospital Colorado said, “Following the Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) announcement of an investigation against Children’s Hospital Colorado (Children’s Colorado), the hospital must suspend all medical gender-affirming care for patients under 18 years old. At the same time, we await federal court rulings and assess the rapidly evolving legal landscape. This referral threatens Children’s Colorado’s Medicare and Medicaid funding, risking care for hundreds of thousands of children.” (Read more from “Two Major Hospitals Pull the Plug on ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors” HERE)

Trump Admin’s Top Secret Military Operation Plans Reportedly Leaked To Legacy Media Outlets

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Despite an unidentified party leaking plans of the Trump administration’s top secret military operation targeting Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela to both The New York Times and the Washington Post, neither publication decided to expose it, Semafor reported Saturday night.

Two anonymous sources, described as familiar with the communication between the administration and media outlets, told Semafor that both outlets declined to break the news on the operation before it happened out of concern for U.S. troops involved. The military incursion, carried out early Saturday, resulted in the capture and ouster of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, whom a grand jury later indicted on four charges, including narco-terrorism conspiracy.

The identity of the leaker or leakers was not made public as of Sunday morning.

President Donald Trump gave his final approval to go ahead with the operation at 10:46 p.m. on Friday night, fewer than eight hours before he announced on Truth Social that Maduro had been captured and flown out of Venezuela. A string of photos posted to the president’s primary social media account Saturday afternoon show him alongside senior members of his administration in a situation room at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida.

While a few U.S. soldiers were injured during the strikes, there were no American fatalities during the operation, according to Trump.

Trans Gymgoer Caught ‘Masturbating’ in Women’s Bathroom at California Planet Fitness

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Disturbing viral video shows the moment a transgender gymgoer appears to be masturbating in a stall inside the women’s bathroom at a Planet Fitness in California.

Planet Fitness patron, Grace Hutson, claims she encountered the ordeal while she was using the female restroom at the gym’s Concord location, just outside San Francisco, last May — but the footage only exploded online over the weekend.

The clip, which she originally posted on TikTok, showed the shadow of an unidentified person appearing to perform the sex act on themselves.

“At the end of the day, whether you’re transgender or not, you should not be stroking your s–t in the women’s bathroom,” Huston said in a TikTok video posted late Sunday after the footage started going viral. . .

The young woman alerted the front desk staff at the time, but the employees didn’t know how to handle the situation, she said.

Her boyfriend eventually stepped in to confront the trans gymgoer. (Read more from “Trans Gymgoer Caught ‘Masturbating’ in Women’s Bathroom at California Planet Fitness” HERE)
