Hamas Admits Top Leaders’ Deaths, Vows To ‘Fight With Their Fingernails’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hamas confirmed Monday that Israeli forces have killed five senior leaders of its military wing, including longtime spokesperson Abu Obeida and the brother of October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar.

The terror group’s new spokesman delivered the announcement in his first public address, The Jerusalem Post reported. He revealed that he “inherited” the “Abu Obeida” pseudonym, meaning “father of the worshipers,” from his predecessor.

The previous spokesperson’s true name was Huthayfa Samir Abdallah al-Kahlout, according to the outlet. An Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strike on Gaza City took him out on Aug. 31, 2025.

The Israeli military and Shin Bet security agency confirmed the kill at the time, but Hamas refused to acknowledge the death until now.

The organization also admitted that Mohammad Sinwar, Hakham Muhammad Issa al-Issa, Mohammed Shabana and Ra’ad Sa’ad were killed by Israeli forces. (Read more from “Hamas Admits Top Leaders’ Deaths, Vows To ‘Fight With Their Fingernails’” HERE)

Journalist Who Helped Expose Jeffrey Epstein Questions Why DOJ Was Tracking Her

/2 Comments/in , /by

Julie K. Brown — the Miami Herald reporter whose investigative work helped reopen the Jeffrey Epstein case — says she expected her name to appear in the recently released Epstein files. What she didn’t expect, however, was to find her personal flight records included among the government documents.

Brown wrote that she discovered the information while reviewing materials from the latest document release by the Department of Justice. The records appeared as part of a grand jury subpoena requesting business documents from American Airlines, which included an itinerary for flights she booked in July 2019 — just days before Epstein was arrested.

In a December 28 Substack post, Brown said the itinerary listed her maiden name, which she does not use professionally, making it clear to her that the entry referred to her specifically. She questioned why her travel details were swept into the files.

“Since the itinerary includes my maiden name — and I did take this flight — why was the DOJ monitoring me?” Brown asked in a post on X.

So far, the Justice Department has not provided a public explanation for why her information appeared in the database.

Brown’s acclaimed three-part investigation, Perversion of Justice, published in 2018, helped bring renewed scrutiny to Epstein’s earlier plea deal and the scope of his abuse network. Her reporting was widely credited with spurring federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York to bring new criminal charges in July 2019.

Epstein was later found dead in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial.

The flight record Brown uncovered showed a round trip from Austin, Texas to Little Rock, Arkansas, with a return scheduled for July 8, 2019 — the same day Epstein was taken into federal custody. Brown said she had booked and taken the trip.

Trump Scolds Ukraine After Russia Claims Putin Home Attacked, Zelensky Slams ‘Typical Lies’

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump directed a public rebuke at Ukraine Monday after Russia claimed that Kyiv had attacked one of Vladimir Putin’s official residences with 91 long-range drones overnight — despite Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissing the report as “typical Russian lies.”

Ahead of a bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump initially told reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort that “I don’t know about” the reported assault on the Kremlin tyrant’s home in the Novgorod region before adding “that would be too bad, that would not be good.”

The president then confirmed that his Russian counterpart had “told me about” the assault on a Monday morning phone call that White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had described as “positive.”

“This is not the right time,” Trump said about the alleged drone incursion. “It’s one thing to be offensive, it’s another thing to attack his house. I was very angry about it.”

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed to reporters that all 91 drones had been shot down, and there were no immediate reports of other damage or casualties. (Read more from “Trump Scolds Ukraine After Russia Claims Putin Home Attacked, Zelensky Slams ‘Typical Lies’” HERE)

American Airlines Pilot Shared Screenshot of Salary — And People’s Jaws Are on the Floor

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Pilots’ paychecks vary depending on the airline they work for and the hours they’ve flown in a given year.

According to an American Airlines captain’s paystub that was later shared on X (formerly Twitter), pilots’ earning potential is so high, it’ll cause most people to rethink their entire career paths.

Supposedly, the screenshotted paystub was of a Miami-based American Airlines Boeing 737 captain. If you look closely, you can see that the pilot’s yearly salary is a jaw-dropping $458,000.

Part of the reason this pilot probably earns as much as they do is because of their high hourly wage, around $360, which shockingly isn’t even the highest tier for pilots.

Captains of planes as massive as Boeing 777 or Airbus A350 can earn up to $450 per hour. Considering the average pilot flies around 900 hours per year, 75 hours per month, according to Flying, do the math — and that’s one fat paycheck they earn.

A teen allegedly shot both of his parents, killing his mother, outside their Pennsylvania home the day after Christmas, according to authorities.

Jarrod Noll, 18, was nabbed in West Virginia on Saturday after authorities launched a massive manhunt with search dogs after the attack in the town of New Freeport on Friday afternoon, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.

Cops were called to the home, just north of the West Virginia border, and discovered Noll’s mother and father with gunshot wounds, police said.

Noll’s mother, who has not yet been identified, was taken to the hospital in critical condition and later pronounced dead, cops said.

His father was taken to a hospital and has since been released in stable condition, authorities added.

The teen’s younger siblings were home when the shooting took place, though he allegedly fired the shots outside the home. The children are now in the custody of a relative, CBS News reported. (Read more from “Teen Shoots Parents, Killing Mother, in Day-After-Christmas Horror” HERE)

Trump Backs Netanyahu After Reports of Friction, Talks Tough on Iran: ‘We’ll Knock the Hell Out of Them’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump gave gushing praise to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday — denying reported friction with his counterpart and vowing to “knock the hell out of” Iran if it rebuilds its nuclear program.

“I hear that Iran is trying to build up again, and if they are, we’re gonna have to knock them down. We’ll knock them down. We’ll knock the hell out of them,” Trump said while welcoming Netanyahu to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla.

“But hopefully that’s not happening. I heard Iran wants to make a deal. They want to make a deal — that’s much smarter. You know, they could have made a deal the last time before we went through a big attack on them, and they decided not to make a deal. They wish they made that deal.”

Trump described the meeting as focused on five major issues, including the implementation of the Trump-brokered October peace deal in Gaza and improving Israeli relations with the new Syrian government.

Once the doors closed for private talks, Netanyahu flattered Trump by announcing that he would bestow upon him the “Israel Prize,” which recognizes cultural achievements in literature, the arts, Jewish studies and other areas.

Misspelled Minnesota Day Care Trucks in Children After Viral Fraud Video: ‘Never Seen Kids Go in There Until Today’

/1 Comment/in , /by

The Quality “Learing” Center Minneapolis, a purported day care flagged in a viral video designed to expose fraud, may have been bustling with kids Monday, but it is typically such a ghost town that it appeared closed, a local told The Post.

The resident called the kiddie scene at the site Monday — a few days after explosive footage called it out and suggested it was part of widespread state fraud — “highly unusual.

“We’ve never seen kids go in there until today. That parking lot is empty all the time, and I was under the impression that place is permanently closed,” the person said.

Monday’s busy parking lot and the roughly 20 kids streaming in and out as The Post staked it out was in stark contrast to the neighbor’s description and YouTuber Nick Shirley’s video showing what appeared to be a facility that wasn’t in use.

“You do realize there’s supposed to be 99 children here in this building, and there’s no one here?” Shirley asked the person answering the door to the site in his clip, which was posted online Friday.

Report: Dept. of Veterans Affairs Orders End to Abortions, Abortion Counseling at Facilities

/1 Comment/in , /by

In a sweeping reversal to the Biden administration’s pro-abortion agenda, the Trump administration has barred the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) from aborting the unborn babies of veterans and their dependents.

The restriction follows a memo from Joshua Craddock, deputy assistant attorney general of the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) on December 18 to the VA stating that the department is not allowed to perform abortions under any provision of the law, the Hill reported.

The memo revoked a Biden-era OLC opinion that allowed the VA to provide abortions and abortion counseling to pregnant veterans and their dependents. The pro-abortion Biden administration promulgated a rule in September 2022 allowing veterans and covered dependents to obtain taxpayer-funded abortions in cases of rape and incest and to protect the life or health of the pregnant woman, as well as abortion counseling. The Biden administration issued the rule in response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned Roe v. Wade, a 1973 ruling that had invented a constitutional right to abortion.

Screenshots purportedly obtained by the outlet of a separate internal VA memo, dated December 22 and sent to the leaders of the department’s 18 regional integrated service networks, states that the agency “must comply” with the OLC’s memo and that the VA will no longer provide abortions or abortion counseling “effective immediately.”

The internal memo also notes that nothing about the VA’s policy “prohibit[s] providing care to pregnant women in life-threatening circumstances, including treatment for ectopic pregnancies or miscarriages.” (Read more from “Report: Dept. of Veterans Affairs Orders End to Abortions, Abortion Counseling at Facilities” HERE)

‘My Friends Will Get Hurt’: Trump Blew Up Over Threats to Expose Epstein Accomplices

/0 Comments/in , /by

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is offering more details about her falling out with President Donald Trump, saying the final straw revolved around her push for more government transparency surrounding sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. . .

In September, Greene spoke directly to Epstein survivors during a closed-door House Oversight hearing, which moved her to fight for accountability on their behalf. After leaving the hearing, she rallied reporters and publicly threatened that, if necessary, she would work with victims to reveal the names of Epstein’s associates who perpetrated sexual abuse against women and girls.

That threat, she said, resulted in a hostile phone call from the president — their last proper conversation.

According to the Times, which heard about the call through both Greene and one of her staffers, Trump, 79, rang her Capitol Hill office to voice his frustration with her public advocacy on the issue. The whole office could allegedly hear him yelling at her on speakerphone, according to her staffer.

Greene claimed that when she expressed confusion to Trump on the call over his resistance to outing Epstein’s potential conspirators, the president told her, “My friends will get hurt.”

When she suggested that the president could invite Epstein survivors to the Oval Office to show that their stories were being heard, the president allegedly said that they had not done anything to earn such an honor, according to Greene’s account of the conversation.

Report: Ilhan Omar’s Husband’s Firm Erases Names as Minnesota Fraud Case Heats Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) husband’s venture capital firm has reportedly erased the names of “nine officers and advisors” from its website, a suspicious move that comes amid pressure over massive fraud in Minnesota.

Omar “introduced the legislation critics say paved the way for what the feds have called the largest fraud of the pandemic,” the New York Post reported Saturday.

Her husband, Tim Mynett, launched Rose Lake Capital in 2022 and its reported value went quickly from almost nothing to between $5 million and $25 million.

The Post article continued:

Between September and October — when federal prosecutors announced charges to eight more individuals, including six of Somali descent, for their roles in the welfare scheme — the names and bios of Rose Lake Capitals’s nine officers and advisors were removed from the website. None of them were charged in the fraud.

These names include lobbyist and former Obama Ambassador to Bahrain Adam Ereli; former Senator and Obama Ambassador to China Max Baucus; DNC Finance Chair associate Alex Hoffman; former DNC treasurer William Derrough and former ex-CEO of Amalgamated Bank Keith Mestrich, who once described Amalgamated as “the institutional bank of the Democratic Party.”
