13-Year-Old Arrested at School With 1,500 Suspected Fentanyl Pills

/0 Comments/in , /by

On December 11, a seventh-grader at Horizon Middle School in Moorhead, Minnesota, was detained after another student reported a large bag of fentanyl pills around noon, according to local police.

School Resource Officer Jessica Horn detained the student and seized the pills.

Approximately 1,500 pills were allegedly in the student’s possession. The juvenile, age 13, was arrested for 1st Degree Possession of a Controlled Substance and transported to the West Central Juvenile Detention Center. His parents were notified.

Field tests confirmed the counterfeit M30 pills likely contained fentanyl, with lab results pending; the boy faces first-degree possession charges and was taken to juvenile detention.

Police Chief Helmick said “We commend the students who came forward — your actions helped protect others. This remains an active investigation, and we will continue working closely with Moorhead Area Public Schools to strengthen safety protocols and ensure a secure learning environment for all students and staff.” (Read more from “13-Year-Old Arrested at School With 1,500 Suspected Fentanyl Pills” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

A heroic shopkeeper tackled and disarmed one of the terrorists who opened fire on a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration in Australia Sunday.

Video captured the moment that good Samaritan Ahmed al-Ahmed, 43, wearing a white shirt, sneaked up behind the shotgun-wielding gunman and wrestled the weapon away from him.

Ahmed, who owns a local fruit stall, then points the weapon at the terrorist, who falls to the ground before scampering away.

He was shot twice in the arm by the second terrorist during his heroic actions, and was taken to a hospital for surgery, according to a relative.

“He’s in [the] hospital and we don’t know exactly what’s going on inside. We do hope he will be fine. He’s a hero, 100 percent,” his cousin, named only as Mustafa, told Australian outlet 7News.

Later video showed him bloodied but conscious, being treated at the scene for his injuries. (Read more from “Incredible Moment Bondi Beach Hero Disarms Terrorist Who Opened Fire on Hanukkah Party” HERE)

/0 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. The first victim of the deadly school shooting at Brown University has been identified as a sophomore student and vice president of the school’s college Republican club, Ella Cook, according to her Alabama parish and a former classmate.

The news of Cook’s death was shared during a service at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in her hometown of Birmingham.

Cook was one of the church’s parishioners who fostered a deep engagement with the community through her frequent service at the church, a priest said during the Mass.

He described her as a “tremendous bright light” who brought peace and faith to all those around her, according to a livestream shared on the parish’s Facebook.

Cook is survived by her parents and two siblings, he said. (Read more from “First Victim in Brown University Shooting ID’d” HERE)

Police release man detained earlier in connection with deadly Brown University shooting, mayor says

By CNN. The person of interest detained in connection with Saturday’s deadly shooting at Brown University has been released, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley said.

Police are releasing the man who had been detained earlier Sunday because evidence “now points in a different direction,” Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Neronha said.

The shooting left two students dead and nine others injured at the Ivy League school in Providence. A vigil and community event were held at a local park Sunday evening, where the city’s mayor said residents could come together and “shine a little bit of light.” Classes and exams have been canceled at Brown as the campus reels from the shooting.

Islamic Extremists Prepare To Slaughter Hundreds On Christmas, Local Intel Warns

/0 Comments/in , /by

Islamic extremists in Nigeria are reportedly plotting an attack for Christmas — which could result in hundreds of deaths and the displacement of many more if left unchecked, the head of a Nigerian news site told the Daily Caller.

U.S.-based filmmaker, evangelist and founder of Truth Nigeria, Judd Saul, told the Caller that extremists are mobilizing units in preparation for a mass assault on Christian regions of Nigeria.

Fulani militants appear to be rallying forces and supplies to strike Riom, Bokkos and Barkin Lotti of Plateau state, the Agatu region of Benue state and the Kafanchan region of Kaduna state in Nigeria, according to Saul.

Saul warned that if immediate action is not taken by the Nigerian state — and likely with pressure from the U.S. — they may see up to 1,000 people dead and potentially 20,000 to 40,000 more displaced.

At least 3,100 Christians have been killed in Nigeria in 2025, according to Open Doors data. President Donald Trump, his State Department and Republican members of Congress have repeatedly called on the government to protect Christians in the region.

Unredacted Trump Photos From Epstein Files Dump Reveal Glamorous Group of Adult Models: ‘He Was Very Gentlemanly’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By New York Post. Unredacted photos of President Trump from the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s estate — which oddly blurred the faces of women he posed with — reveal he was standing with “adult women models,” according to exclusive images obtained by The Post.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a trove of images from Epstein’s estate Friday, including two shots of the president with women whose faces were blacked out — fueling speculation they could be the disgraced financier’s victims.

But a pair of pictures obtained exclusively by The Post show Trump standing next to beautiful grown women.

One woman pictured in a black-and-white image with the future president and five other glamorous ladies in Hawaiian leis said he was a “gentleman” who went out of his way to make sure the group enjoyed their evening at Mar-a-Lago.

“I don’t remember much of that,” she told the Telegraph. (Read more from “Unredacted Trump Photos From Epstein Files Dump Reveal Glamorous Group of Adult Models: ‘He Was Very Gentlemanly’” HERE)

Donald Trump Condoms and Adult Toys: New Jeffrey Epstein Images Released

By Joel Lefevre. More shocking images are emerging about some of the things Jeffrey Epstein kept track of on his island. The late child sex offender, it seems, didn’t just have records of the guests who visited his place in the Caribbean.

Among the physical records he kept were sex toys, according to news reports, including a novelty condom with a likeness to Donald Trump. Behind the table, there’s a sign reading Trump Condom $4.50. In addition, there were pics of former US President Bill Clinton with Jeffrey’s girlfriend and conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

The details of what transpired on Jeffrey’s island are disturbing enough to hear. All of these new photos add yet another element of shock. The Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published the findings on their X account on Friday, attaching a Dropbox folder for all to see.

Donald and Bill aren’t the only celebrities seen in the photos. Among the others are Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Steve Bannon, Woody Allen, and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

In their big reveal, none of the released photos were dated. Names of potential victims and identifying details were redacted. The latest collection supposedly contains over 95,000 images, with 19 revealed on Friday. Representative Robert Garcia says that these disturbing photos raise more questions about Jeffrey and his relationship with some powerful people. In early December, the Oversight Committee released photos of Jeffrey’s island. (Read more from “Donald Trump Condoms and Adult Toys: New Jeffrey Epstein Images Released” HERE)

Listen to the People, President Trump — They Really DO Feel Economic Pain

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is stepping out of his White House bubble to address economic gloom; we expect he’ll make time to listen as well as speechify.

He needs to be careful: Slamming Democrats’ talk of “affordability” as a “con job” is readily twisted to make it seem like he doesn’t think people are suffering.

We realize that he means that Dems are responsible for the nation’s current woes; they can’t credibly claim to be the party of strong economic growth, which is the only way out of this box.

But his mission, Tuesday in Pennsylvania and in more speeches across the country early in the new year, is to address public frustration over stubbornly high prices and slow wage growth.

The prez can and should offer genuine assurances, but must admit the frustration is painfully real: Three-quarters of Americans view the economy negatively, a Fox News survey found last month.

That’s up from the 70% who felt that way at the end of Joe Biden’s presidency. (Read more from “Listen to the People, President Trump — They Really DO Feel Economic Pain” HERE)

Everything We Know About the Creepy Photo Jeffrey Epstein Had of a Lounging Woman on His Desk

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A haunting photo of a lounging woman that Jeffrey Epstein kept on his home office desk is among several mysterious artifacts belonging to the convicted sex offender that can be seen in new photos published Friday by members of a US House committee.

The snapshot, in which the woman is seen lying in an awkward position on what appears to be a couch, is visible in a photo of Epstein and former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon at the notorious pedophile’s Upper East Side residence.

The photo is undated, but previously released records indicate that Bannon spent several hours interviewing Epstein in 2019 for a never-released documentary. . .

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released just 19 photos of more than 95,000 received from Epstein’s estate — which show the financier’s most famous and influential former associates like President Trump, former President Bill Clinton, movie director Woody Allen, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York.

A handful of images of Trump depict him with women whose faces are blacked out to suggest they were victims of Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, though it’s unclear whether that was actually the case.

Scientists Find Key Brain Nutrient From Everyday Foods Lacking in People With Anxiety

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Millions of Americans battle chronic anxiety — but new research claiming a missing brain nutrient may be partly to blame is already drawing skepticism from experts who say the findings are far from conclusive.

Using a non-invasive MRI-based technique that measures brain chemicals, researchers at UC Davis Health in California looked at data from 25 previous studies, comparing 370 people with anxiety disorders to 342 without anxiety.

They found that, across the combined studies, individuals with certain anxiety disorders showed an average of about 8% lower choline levels in brain regions that help regulate thinking and emotions.

“An 8% lower amount doesn’t sound like that much, but in the brain, it’s significant,” said senior study author Richard Maddock, a medical doctor and research professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, Davis.

Choline — found in foods such as eggs, beef, chicken, fish and soybeans — plays a key role in memory, mood and cell health, according to experts.

The study authors propose that heightened stress responses in anxiety disorders may increase the brain’s demand for choline, gradually lowering levels of the nutrient — especially in regions that help regulate stress and reduce the threat response, according to the published research.

Syria Registers Its First-Ever Jewish Organization

/0 Comments/in , /by

Syrian Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Hind Kabawat on Wednesday approved the registration of the Jewish Heritage in Syria Foundation (JHS) – the first Jewish organization to be officially recognized by Syria since it became an independent nation in the 1940s.

Registration will allow JHS to establish offices in Syria, work with local and national government officials, and serve as the government-sanctioned protector of Jewish sites.

Kabawat, the first female minister in Syria’s transitional government, told Fox News Digital on Thursday that Jews “have long been part of Syria’s religious and cultural landscape.”

“Restoring their right to belong, to visit and to live back in their homeland is a natural step toward a more just, tolerant and inclusive society,” she said.

“For decades, Syrian Jews were denied the right to celebrate their own cultural and religious heritage, and today we take a step toward long-term peace, security and stability,” she said. (Read more from “Syria Registers Its First-Ever Jewish Organization” HERE)

Time to Prepare For World War-Size Conflict With Russia, Warns NATO

/0 Comments/in , /by

If NATO members fail to “stop a war before it starts” by successfully deterring Russia from trying its hand in Europe, the Atlantic, and the Arctic it will be a conflict on the scale of the First and Second World Wars, the Secretary General warns.

“The dark forces of oppression are on the march again”, said NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in a speech in Berlin on Thursday, as he implied a coming world war is in the offing if the alliance fails to deter Russia from empire-building. Expressing the importance of continuing to support Ukraine, Rutte said it was better to defeat Russia and have something of a buffer zone, rather than directly meet Russia along the NATO border in central Europe.

Explaining the purpose of the address is to explain “what we must do to stop a war before it starts”, Rutte named Russia as the main threat and China as its main backer, and called for NATO nations to enhance their preparations for war, including pushing their industrial bases to produce more munitions.

He said:

We must all accept that we must act to defend our way of life, now. Because this year, Russia has become even more brazen, reckless, and ruthless, towards NATO and towards Ukraine… Russia’s economy is now geared to wage war, not to make its people prosperous. Russia is spending nearly 40 per cent of its budget on aggression, and around 70 per cent of all machine tools in Russia are used in military production. Taxes are going up, inflation has skyrocketed, and petrol is rationed…

…How is Putin able to maintain his war against Ukraine? The answer is China. China is Russia’s lifeline. China wants to prevent its ally from losing in Ukraine. Without China’s support, Russia could not continue to wage this war. For instance around 80 per cent of critical electronic components in Russian drones and other systems are made in China. So when civilians are made in Kyiv or Kharkiv, Chinese technology is often inside the weapons that kill them… NATO’s own defences can hold for now but with its economy dedicated to war, Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years.
