Newsmax Obtains Alec Baldwin Crash Video, Contradicts His Claim

/0 Comments/in , /by

Newsmax has obtained exclusive dashcam footage that appears to contradict Alec Baldwin’s account of how he and his brother Stephen Baldwin were involved in a car crash Monday afternoon.

The 1-minute, 29-second front-facing video, taken from the commercial truck Alec Baldwin claims cut him off, shows the truck making a legal right turn onto Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York, before Alec Baldwin’s white Range Rover comes into view — and moments later, slams into a tree along the roadside.

The footage begins with the truck exiting a parking lot and making a routine right turn.

Roughly 30 seconds in, Alec Baldwin’s vehicle appears to attempt to pass the truck on the right, before veering onto the shoulder and striking a large tree head-on. (Read more from “Newsmax Obtains Alec Baldwin Crash Video, Contradicts His Claim” HERE)

Family of Milwaukee Man Shot to Death During Traffic Stop Insists Officer’s Actions Were Justified: ‘Something We Have to Live With’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The shooting occurred on the evening of October 9, leaving 26-year-old Elijah Wilks dead. In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Wilks’ family demanded answers.

Just days later, the Milwaukee Police Department released footage of the incident from the officer’s dashboard camera. In the video, the officer’s car had a minor collision with a car driven by Wilks. As soon as both cars came to a stop so the drivers could assess the damage, Wilks got out and immediately walked toward the driver’s side of the officer’s car. Wilks was seen yelling at the officer.

When the officer got out of his car, he walked in front of it to look at the spot where the collision had occurred. As he walked, Wilks trailed behind him and continued berating him. Then, Wilks suddenly brandished a handgun and hit the officer in the head with it. The officer pulled out his own firearm and shot Wilks multiple times.

According to a report from Fox 6 Milwaukee:

[Wilks family attorney B’Ivory Lamarr] and the family watched the video Friday and came out right away and said they thought the officer was justified in shooting.

“When we saw the video for the first time, completely silent. You know, I was it was unimaginable, you know, what actually took place, and we requested to see it a second time, and it’s just something that we just have to take acceptance and accountability for,” added Lamarr. “I think it was clear that he definitely brought out the firearm first, and that he, you know violently, kind of swung the firearm in the officer’s direction that resulted in that response.”

“She Might Love Israel More”: Trump’s Remark About Miriam Adelson Sparks Criticism

/0 Comments/in , /by

When President Donald Trump addressed the Israeli Knesset on Monday, much of the world’s attention was on his historic return to Israel — but it was one offhand comment that drew the most attention back home.

Gesturing toward billionaire Miriam Adelson, one of his most prominent financial backers, Trump joked, “I’m gonna get her in trouble with this one, but I actually asked her once, ‘So, Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more? The United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer. That might mean Israel.”

The remark, which prompted laughter and applause in the chamber, underscored what many observers see as a contradiction in Trump’s political identity. For years, Trump’s “America First” message has defined his movement — yet here he was, highlighting the deep influence of a donor whose loyalties, by his own teasing admission, lie primarily with another country.

During his speech, Trump praised Miriam and her late husband, Sheldon Adelson, for their generosity and political support, reminiscing about their frequent visits to the White House. “Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office, they’d call me. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else I could think of,” Trump said. “Look at her sitting there so innocently! She got $60 billion in the bank … and she loves Israel.”

He went on to credit the Adelsons with inspiring some of his most consequential pro-Israel decisions during his first term — including recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights and moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.

But Trump’s nostalgic praise also raises uncomfortable questions about the role of billionaire donors in shaping U.S. foreign policy. How much influence should private citizens — especially those with dual citizenship — have in decisions that affect America’s diplomatic posture?

In 2018, Trump awarded Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — citing her contributions to medicine, philanthropy, and Jewish causes.

Sheldon Adelson once described his worldview bluntly: “All we care about is being good Zionists, being good citizens of Israel.”

Trump’s comments have reignited debate over his relationship with the Adelsons and the broader influence of money in U.S. foreign policy. Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) was quick to respond on X (formerly Twitter):

“Trump asked dual citizen Miriam Adelson, a billionaire running nasty ads against me in Kentucky, ‘what do you love more, the United States or Israel?’ She refused to answer him. He says that might mean she loves Israel more. This isn’t AI, it’s real video…”

Trump’s joking acknowledgment of Miriam Adelson’s divided loyalties may have been meant in jest, but it exposed a deeper tension at the heart of his political brand. While he continues to promote an “America First” foreign policy, his own words highlighted the extent to which personal relationships and donor influence have shaped U.S. policy toward Israel — a contradiction not lost on his critics.

Peace Sells… Who’s Buying? Hamas Will Disarm or ‘We Will Disarm Them,’ Trump Snaps After Terrorists Vow They Won’t

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump said Tuesday that Hamas will disarm pursuant to his 20-point peace plan or “we will disarm them.”

“Well, they’re going to disarm because they said they were going to disarm, and if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them,” Trump told journalists while hosting Argentine President Javier Milei at the White House.

“I don’t have to explain that to you, but if they don’t disarm, we will disarm them. They know I’m not playing games. OK?”

Trump also admitted the Gaza-based terrorist group “misrepresented” how many dead hostages’ bodies they had in their possession after just four were handed over on Monday.

“If they don’t disarm, we will disarm them, and it’ll happen quickly and perhaps violently, but they will disarm. You understand me,” Trump said ahead of a bilateral Cabinet Room lunch.

“I spoke to Hamas, and I said, ‘You’re going to disarm, right?’ ‘Yes, sir, we’re going to disarm.’ That’s what they told me. They will disarm or we will disarm them. Got it?” (Read more from “Peace Sells… Who’s Buying? Hamas Will Disarm or ‘We Will Disarm Them,’ Trump Snaps After Terrorists Vow They Won’t” HERE)

Marjorie Taylor Greene Takes a Swing at GOP Leadership, Blasts Anyone Trying to ‘Prevent’ Epstein List ‘From Coming Out’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) joined CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown for a lengthy interview on Thursday that covered everything from the government shutdown, to some of Greene’s more controversial statements of late, to the House vote on releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.

As the conversation wound down, Brown asked Greene about Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently slamming her for dabbling in what many viewed as anti-Semitism.

“So you recently suggested on X that a quote, ‘foreign government or powerful people may try to kill you.’ Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas shared that post of yours on X, writing, quote, ‘Why do crazy people keep thinking the Jews are trying to kill them?’ What do you say to Cruz, and what did you mean by that?” Brown asked.

“Well, first, that was an extremely ridiculous thing for Ted Cruz to say. I never said Jewish people. I’m not anti-Semitic. I don’t hate any people group for their identity or who they are. So that was unbelievably low for a sitting U.S. senator to say that. But what I’m talking about is very real. I have a tremendous amount of death threats,” Greene replied, adding:

It’s documented. I have some of the highest amount of death threats as a sitting member in the House of Representatives. And when you speak about certain issues, we can watch the calls and the emails and the messages—they increase, and the threats increase.

And so when I say I am seriously concerned for my life, and I say, “If something ever happens to me,” I really mean it. It’s okay for me to say that. This is the time that we’re living in, where we’re seeing political violence, and I’m totally against it completely in every which way. But when I say something like that and to have another Republican of my own party insult me and insinuate I’m saying something I never said is absolutely unacceptable.

‘Not Sure I’m Gonna Be Able to Make Heaven!’ Trump Jokes

/3 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Beast. . .The president didn’t appear optimistic about his prospects in the afterlife as he spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, days after he lost his long-running bid to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Fox News’ Peter Doocy checked in on Trump’s push to secure a seat in heaven after the president rushed to lock down an Israel-Hamas peace deal ahead of the highly anticipated Nobel Prize announcement last week.

“I mean, you know, I’m being a little cute,” Trump said. “I don’t think there’s anything [that’s] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I’m not maybe heaven-bound.” . . .

It’s no secret that getting into heaven has been on the 79-year-old president’s mind. In August, Trump told Fox News that he had personal motivations to put an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, which he previously claimed he could end on day one of his second term.

“If I can save 7,000 people a week from being killed, I think that’s a pretty—I want to try and get to heaven if possible,” he said at the time. “I’m hearing I’m not doing well. I hear I’m really at the bottom of the totem pole. If I can get to heaven, this will be one of the reasons.” (Read more from “Trump, 79, Admits He Is Probably Not Going to Heaven” HERE)

‘Not Sure I’m Gonna Be Able to Make Heaven!’ Trump Jokes

By New York Post. President Trump joked with a Fox News reporter that he doesn’t “think there’s anything [that’s] gonna get me in heaven” — even after brokering the historic Israel-Hamas ceasefire deal bringing the release of Israeli hostages.

As Trump took questions from reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday en route to Israel, Fox News’ Peter Doocy nodded to the president’s remarks a few months ago that he wanted to end the Russia-Ukraine war to improve his odds of passing through the pearly gates.

“How does this help? Does this help?” Doocy asked of the ceasefire deal, which led to the release of all 20 living Israeli hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners on Monday.

“You know, I’m being a little cute. I don’t think there’s anything gonna get me in heaven. I really don’t,” Trump said as to laughs from other reporters on the plane.

“I think I’m not, maybe, heaven-bound,” he added with a chuckle himself. “I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I’m not sure I’m gonna be able to make heaven, but I’ve made life a lot better for a lot of people.” (Read more from “‘Not Sure I’m Gonna Be Able to Make Heaven!’ Trump Disturbingly Jokes Despite Israel-Hamas Deal” HERE)

Israeli Politician Thrown Out After Interrupting Trump’s Address to Israel’s Parliament

/5 Comments/in , /by

A far-left Israeli politician was jeered as he loudly interrupted President Trump’s address to the country’s parliament, just to quickly get tossed out by security.

Ofer Cassif, a member of parliament from the extreme left-wing Hadash party, began shouting while Trump was praising his special envoy, Steve Witkoff, for his part bringing “peace in the Middle East.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what Cassif was yelling. He was quickly bundled out by security to cheers from the majority of Israel’s MPs who otherwise gave countless rounds of applause to Trump.

Security also went over to another Knesset member and removed him.

Cassif shared a lengthy post on X ahead of Trump’s arrival, condemning the US president’s visit.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Democrat North Carolina state representative was arrested and charged on Wednesday in the statutory rape of a teen.

Rep. Cecil Brockman who represents Guilford County is charged with two counts of indecent liberties with a child and two counts of statutory rape of a person 13 to 15 years of age, Fox 8 reported Thursday.

The outlet said:

Warrants allege that in August of this year, Brockman “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously did commit and attempt to commit lewd and lascivious act” with a 15-year-old victim.

…

He was issued no bond upon arrest, and the magistrates order alleges that he has made attempts to locate the victim at a hospital and leverage his status as a representative to make contact the victim.

The representative is being held at the Guilford County Jail and expected to appear in court on Thursday afternoon, according to WRAL.

Trump To Designate Antifa As Foreign Terrorist Group

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will classify Antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization.”

Trump convened a White House roundtable on Antifa on Wednesday to pledge an aggressive crackdown against the group. The event followed his order and Federal Register entry listing Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization — no State Department action has yet placed “Antifa” on the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list.

“Would you like to see it done? You think it would help?” Trump asked of the FTO designation. “I’d be glad to do it. I think it’s the kind of thing I’d like to do. Does everybody agree? If you agree, I agree. Let’s get it done, OK? Let’s get it done. Marco, we’ll take care of it … Sounds good to me.”

“The epidemic of left-wing violence and Antifa-inspired terror has been escalating for nearly a decade,” the president said earlier in the roundtable. “We’re going to be far more threatening to them than they ever were with us — and that includes the people that fund them.”

Explosive Claim Around Charlie Kirk’s Killing Sparks MAGA Civil War

/0 Comments/in , , /by

While the killing of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk last month launched a flurry of conspiracy theories, an explosive new claim made Monday by one of Kirk’s former associates has sparked a civil war among the MAGA right.

“Charlie was done with Israel bullying him, and I am now going to present to you proof of what I am saying,” said far-right influencer Candace Owens on Monday. “This is an actual group chat which happened two days before Charlie Kirk was assassinated.”

Owens went on to share an image of an alleged group chat that included Kirk and eight other individuals, naming just one of the other eight: Rob McCoy, the co-chair of Kirk’s conservative advocacy organization Turning Point USA.

In the text messages, Kirk allegedly complained about having “lost another huge Jewish donor,” something that would cost him “$2 million a year” because he insisted on inviting Tucker Carlson – an outspoken critic of the United States’ support for Israel – to an upcoming Turning Point event.

That donor is suspected to be conservative billionaire Robert Shillman, largely due to a New York Times report last week that said Shillman had “angrily questioned Kirk for giving a platform to Carlson,” and that he had informed Kirk he would be withdrawing a $2 million pledge to Turning Point, an account that lines up with Kirk’s alleged comments.
