Trump Rips into Volodymyr Zelensky — Insisting it’s Time for Ukraine to ‘Get a New President’

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Trump ripped into Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday insisting that it’s time for Ukraine to “get a new president.”

The fiery comments came just hours after his administration announced a deal to have Russia supply 300,000 metric tons of diesel to the US and global energy markets.

The president described the arrangement as a direct response to Zelensky’s continued targeting of Russian oil refineries – even after Trump asked him to stop the attacks.

“I said to him: ‘do what you want, don’t hit refineries,’” Trump told reporters as he left the White House Saturday afternoon en route to a rally in Tennessee.

He hammered Zelensky for failing to bring about an end to the Ukraine war, which began with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin launching a full-scale invasion in February 2022.

“You’ve lost 30% of your country and you’ve had over a million people killed. … I think it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president,” Trump fumed.

“Zelensky could have settled this war many times – many many times. And he chooses not to. Very difficult. It’s a war that should have never been started,” he continued. (Read more from “Trump Rips into Volodymyr Zelensky — Insisting it’s Time for Ukraine to ‘Get a New President’” HERE)

ABC News Issues Correction After Appearing To Quietly Delete Story About Trump Family Member

/0 Comments/in , /by

ABC News on Friday published a corrected version of an apparently deleted article from earlier that week which drew conclusions about the business dealings of President Donald Trump’s eldest sons.

Without an immediately clear public explanation, ABC News appeared to take down from its website an Oct. 7 report which attributed a $2.5 billion investment into U.S. defense contractor Anduril to 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm founded in 2022 for which Donald Trump Jr. serves as a partner.

The retracted piece, which ABC News originally headlined “Trump sons’ investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election,” was apparently republished after being revised under a new headline, “New shipyard announced amid earlier Democratic concerns about potential conflicts of interest.”

In addition, an editor’s note was included in the revision published online, reading, “CORRECTION: A version of this story published on Oct. 7 contained errors in the description of certain company investments, government contracts and event chronologies. After subsequent reporting, this version contains corrected information and additional context regarding some of those investments, contracts and events.”

The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to ABC News and 1789 Capital for comment. (Read more from “ABC News Issues Correction After Appearing To Quietly Delete Story About Trump Family Member” HERE)

One Bad Storm Could Leave America Scrambling For Fuel

/0 Comments/in , /by

America’s fuel supply has little room left to absorb a hurricane that knocks Gulf Coast refineries offline, according to federal data and energy analysts.

U.S. gasoline inventories were 6 percent below their five-year average for the week ending Oct. 2, and distillate stocks, which include diesel, were 12 percent below, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Hurricane Isaias, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, had maximum sustained winds of 115 mph and was moving north toward the western Florida Panhandle at 17 mph Friday afternoon, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The Gulf Coast holds about 54 percent of the nation’s refining capacity, according to EIA data.

“We really don’t have much cushion,” Steve Milloy, a senior fellow at the Energy and Environment Legal Institute, told the DCNF.

Isaias had moved too far east to affect any refinery in Louisiana, Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates, said in a statement to the DCNF. Lipow said a refinery that shuts down for a storm takes one to two weeks to restart if it is not damaged. (Read more from “One Bad Storm Could Leave America Scrambling For Fuel” HERE)

Boomers, Elite Made Killing After Pandemic While Everyone Else Drowned

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new report by the Federal Reserve published Friday indicates the wealth gap between affluent Americans and nearly everyone else has widened since the COVID-19 pandemic.

While the median family net worth rose 2%, to nearly $216,000, from 2022-2025, the median net worth of surveyed individuals under the age of 35 dropped 23% — to around $33,000 — during that time frame, according to the Fed’s 2025 Survey of Consumer Finances. Notably, the median net worth of those 75 or older climbed 37%, to around $504,900.

The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. The Fed told the DCNF that it didn’t have anything else to share beyond its report.

Other age brackets, however, didn’t appear to fare much better. The median net worth of respondents between the ages of 45 and 54 and 65 to 74 fell 6% and 4%, respectively. That metric, on the other hand, rose among respondents between the ages of 35 and 44 and 55 to 64 by 5% and 3%, respectively.

One factor which may have influenced these changes is participation in the stock market. Trading declined from 58% in 2022 to 56% in 2025, largely driven by lower participation of those outside of the top 10% of the income distribution identified in the report. The S&P 500 index, however, rose 78% from 2023 through 2025, The Motley Fool reported in January. (Read more from ” Boomers, Elite Made Killing After Pandemic While Everyone Else Drowned” HERE)

12-Year-Old Girl’s Milkshake Death Exposes How Even ‘Safe’ Foods can be Dangerous

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 12-year-old’s death from a Twix milkshake has highlighted an insidious way even so-called “safe foods” can prove deadly to people with severe nut allergies.

The victim, Mia Shay St Hilaire, had reportedly ordered the sweet beverage at the Pop Inn in London while visiting with her aunt and sister.

While the shake didn’t have any tree nuts — the source of her life-threatening allergy — she subsequently “developed rapidly progressing anaphylaxis” and ended up collapsing at her aunt’s home. Despite being rushed to the hospital, the youngster tragically passed away shortly after arriving, the coroner’s office said.

How did this supposedly benign beverage cost St Hilaire her life? According to CCTV reports, the restaurant’s owner Baris Yucel had used the same blender to whip up a hazelnut-harboring Kinder Bueno milkshake and didn’t wash it before prepping the preteen’s order — an issue known as allergen cross-contact.

“No family should ever have to lose a child in these circumstances,” the girl’s parents said in a statement, adding that they wanted to use their daughter’s tragedy to help “save lives in the future.” (Read more from “12-Year-Old Girl’s Milkshake Death Exposes How Even ‘Safe’ Foods can be Dangerous” HERE)

‘Cornell 7’ Frat Bro Who Said He was ‘Sodomized’ Trashed US, is Son of Dubai-Based Islamic Studies Prof

/0 Comments/in , /by

Matthew Ingalls — the Cornell University Chi Phi fraternity brother who admitted he initiated the now infamous threesome that an unnamed female student claimed in a lawsuit turned into a gang rape — is a US hater who grew up in privilege and whose father teaches Islamic studies in Dubai, The Post has learned.

Ingalls, 21, whose full name is Umar Matthew Ingalls, attended Dubai International Academy, an elite private school that charges about $21,000 a year located in what has been dubbed the “Beverly Hills of Dubai.” The former frat bro grew up between the Middle East and the United States.

The school, in Dubai’s Emirates Hills neighborhood, hailed as the city’s “most exclusive and prestigious gated community” where homes start at $3 million, was listed as Ingalls’ alma mater on Cornell University’s rugby roster for 2023-2024, when he played on the team.

A resurfaced 2020 article said he was embarrassed by his American citizenship while attending the posh school, having to explain to people in the United Arab Emirates that “no, I’m not a Trump supporter.”

“Generally speaking, ‘American’ over here is synonymous with ‘Trump,’ which is synonymous with a whole bunch of other words that I won’t mention,” a high school online magazine quotes Ingalls as saying, describing him as half American.

REPORT: Top Huckabee Aide Downplayed Murders Of American Citizens To Make Israel Look Better

/38 Comments/in , , /by

A top aide to U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee allegedly suppressed a detailed embassy report into the killings of nine Americans in the West Bank, according to a report Thursday.

David Milstein, the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin, frequently suppressed or manipulated reports from staffers at the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem to downplay Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank and portray Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in a positive light, The New York Times reported. He also allegedly intervened to suppress a “detailed” report by embassy staffers on the murders of nine U.S. citizens by Israeli settlers and security forces as members of Congress pushed for more information and accountability, according to The New York Times.

After a ninth American, 19-year-old Nasrallah Abu Siyam, was shot dead in the West Bank while trying to prevent settlers from stealing his livestock in February, 30 members of Congress sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding updates on investigations into the string of killings. The embassy completed a report by March that found the Israeli investigations had gone nowhere, some cases were closed, and no one had been charged. However, Milstein allegedly pushed to send a letter back in response to Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen, rather than sending the more detailed report, according to the outlet.

The report also alleges that Milstein has had a chilling effect on embassy staffers, with some staffers expressing concern about his relationship with Levin, a fervent ally of Netanyahu; downplayed the expansion of West Bank settlements, even though President Donald Trump has previously expressed opposition to the Israeli annexation of the West Bank; and dismissed mass casualties amid the delivery of food and aid to Palestinians.

The Daily Caller reached out to the embassy, which referred the Caller to an X post from Huckabee.

Anthropic to Users: Be Nice to Claude AI — New Policy Bars ‘Abusive or Cruel Behavior’ to Tech

/0 Comments/in , /by

Anthropic on Thursday updated its usage policy to bar people from “abusive or cruel behavior” behavior toward its Claude AI – even though it’s not, ya know, actually alive.

The strange update came as debate continues to rage about regulating AI, and as oddball corners of Silicon Valley insist the tech has a soul.

“We’ve added a prohibition on sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models,” Anthropic says on a webpage about the updated policy.

“The policy update is meant to apply only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose. It does not apply to common versions of user frustration, pushback, dark creative themes, or model testing and research,” the company adds.

Other changes to the user policy include new guidelines against using Claude for election interference, surveillance without the consent of the surveilled, and building weapons. (Read more from “Anthropic to Users: Be Nice to Claude AI — New Policy Bars ‘Abusive or Cruel Behavior’ to Tech” HERE)

Fruits and Vegetables 50% Less Nutritious Than in the 1960s: ‘Hollowing out our Food’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Fruits and vegetables are only half as nutritious as they were 60 years ago, a new study revealed.

US produce harvested today is lacking in crucial nutrients, including vitamin C, calcium and iron due to drastically declining soil quality, researchers at the UK-based Deep Science Ventures found.

Consumers need to eat twice the number of many fruits and veggies just to get the same level of minerals — like copper, magnesium or potassium — as in the 1960s. Bread, cereals, apples, peas and carrots also lost between 20-50% of several key nutrients.

“For sixty years we’ve measured food security in calories … and on those measures we’ve done remarkably well,” wrote Will Summers, one of the authors of the damning report.

“But we’ve been quietly hollowing out what’s inside our food.”

Since the Green Revolution of the 1960s, agricultural systems were able to successfully increase the global food supply and cereal yields. (Read more from “Fruits and Vegetables 50% Less Nutritious Than in the 1960s: ‘Hollowing out our Food’” HERE)

Why Foul-Mouthed Boy, 6, Who Shot Va. Teacher and Yelled ‘F–k You Bitch,’ Didn’t Face Charges

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The 6-year-old Virginia boy who shot his teacher in the chest before launching into a vicious, caught-on-camera tirade against another educator – yelling “f–k you, bitch” — did not face any criminal charges related to the twisted attack.

Instead, the boy — only identified by officials as J.T. — was ordered to spend 227 days undergoing inpatient psychiatric confinement for shooting his teacher, Abby Zwerner, in front of 16 students in their first grade class on Jan. 6, 2023, according to court records.

Harrowing police bodycam footage released this week shows the baby-faced gunman swearing a blue streak and threatening cops just moments after he opened fire inside the classroom in Newport News, a small city about 70 miles southwest of Richmond.

“Both y’all want a f–king piece of me, bitch?!” J.T. yells at officers, while a Richneck Elementary School reading specialist, Amy Kovac, is seen restraining him in a bear hug and repeatedly pleading with him to “stop.”

“F–k you, bitch,” the tiny perp responds, according to the video, which also shows cops discovering a 9 mm Taurus handgun nearby on the ground.

“I stole that from my mom,” J.T. says, gesturing to the firearm, which he admittedly stole from his mother’s purse earlier that morning. (Read more from “Why Foul-Mouthed Boy, 6, Who Shot Va. Teacher and Yelled ‘F–k You Bitch,’ Didn’t Face Charges” HERE)
