FBI Director Confirms Foiled ISIS Attack on US Soil

/2 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed Thursday that an ISIS plot to murder Americans in Michigan was foiled.

“I can now confirm reports that our FBI teams and partners foiled an attempted ISIS attack on one of our U.S. military bases in Warren, Michigan,” Patel announced on X. “The individual, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, plotted a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility before multiple undercover law enforcement officers obtained information of his plans.”

“Said was arrested this week and will now face charges of supporting a foreign terrorist organization, among others,” he continued. “Our agents, intelligence teams, and partners acted quickly — and they saved lives. Well done to all on executing the mission.”

According to the Department of Justice, Said was a former member of the Michigan National Guard.

“This defendant is charged with planning a deadly attack on a U.S. military base here at home for ISIS,” DOJ National Security Division Director Sue Bai added in a statement. “Thanks to the tireless efforts of law enforcement, we foiled the attack before lives were lost. We will not hesitate to bring the full force of the Department to find and prosecute those who seek to harm our men and women in the military and to protect all Americans.”

FBI Thwarts ISIS-Inspired Attack on US Army Base; Former National Guard Member Charged

By ABC News. A former member of the Michigan Army National Guard has been arrested after he allegedly tried to carry out a plan to conduct a mass shooting at a U.S. military base in Michigan on behalf of the ISIS terrorist organization, the Justice Department said Wednesday.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, was arrested on Tuesday, which authorities say was the scheduled day of the attack, after he visited an area near the military base and launched a drone in support of the attack plan, according to the Justice Department.

Said allegedly planned to attack the Army’s Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, which is located in a Detroit suburb and manages the Army’s supply chain for tanks. According to federal prosecutors, Said offered to help undercover law enforcement officers carry out the attack by training them to use firearms and make Molotov cocktails and by providing armor-piercing ammunition and magazines for the attack.

Said has been charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and with distributing information related to a destructive device. Court documents did not list an attorney for Said.

Said spent two years in the Michigan Army National Guard until he was discharged in December, according to court documents. (Read more from “FBI Thwarts ISIS-Inspired Attack on US Army Base; Former National Guard Member Charged” HERE)

Tired All the Time? A Silent but Serious Health Issue Could Be to Blame

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a study published this month in Neurology, researchers found a link between lingering fatigue and a transient ischemic attack (TIA), commonly known as a “ministroke.” . . .

TIA is a temporary disruption of blood flow to the brain, spurring stroke-like symptoms that typically last two to 15 minutes.

People who have them are typically at higher risk of having a full-blown stroke in the near future.

And, as the new study suggests, TIA patients may actually suffer some more long-term effects, including exhaustion.

“People with a transient ischemic attack can have symptoms such as face drooping, arm weakness, or slurred speech, and these resolve within a day,” said study author Boris Modrau, MD, Ph.D., of Aalborg University Hospital in Denmark.

“However, some have reported continued challenges, including reduced quality of life, thinking problems, depression, anxiety and fatigue. Our study found that for some people, fatigue was a common symptom that lasted up to one year after the transient ischemic attack.” (Read more from “Tired All the Time?

Dem Megadonor Who Is Fighting Trump’s Agenda Is Quite the Alleged Sexual Harasser

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Do you know who Hansjörg Wyss is? Frankly, I did not. At first, it sounded like he was some Nazi war criminal, but he’s not. He’s actually a Temu version of George Soros. He’s a Swiss billionaire who’s been funneling hordes of cash to progressive groups in the United States, whose goal is to derail the Trump agenda, specifically the tax cuts that would benefit working families (via NY Post):

A Swiss billionaire is funneling his money into a pop-up progressive advocacy group claiming to support “working families” and denouncing President Trump’s plans to extend tax cuts as a giveaway to the ultra-rich.

Families Over Billionaires, which launched when Trump returned to the White House in January, was set up as a temporary entity to oppose the extension of Trump’s signature 2017 tax legislation — but its “eight-figure” fundraising campaign, through an array of pass-through organizations, is backed by the very wealthy.

That’s because the fledgling Families for Billionaires, which doesn’t even have a donation option on its website for the public, is actually a trade name of the massive liberal dark money Sixteen Thirty Fund, according to business records filed in Washington, DC.

Sixteen Thirty has received $280 million from the Berger Action Fund, an advocacy group that works with Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss’ eponymous Wyss Foundation, past reports and disclosures from its affiliated groups show.

And what do you think happened to him recently? Remember the ‘Me Too’ moment, or movement, that collapsed once all the creepy men exposed turned out to be liberal, wealthy, and powerful? Les Moonves, the CEO of CBS Corporation, lost his job over this feminist reckoning that mostly shot inside the ship. Too many hand grenades were tossed inside the tent, so this witch hunt went away. Sort of like how Stop Asian Hate died during the COVID pandemic since it was virtually all blacks who were assaulting Asians nationwide.

RFK Jr. Brings Receipts, Drops Fact Check on Purple-Haired Dem During Hearing

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. brought receipts to correct Democrat Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro on the measles outbreaks around the world.

While questioning whether his agency is cutting funding for “life saving” research conducted by the National Institute of Health (NIH), DeLauro suggested that the U.S. has higher cases of measles than other countries. Kennedy told the Democrat congresswoman that she is “wrong,” pointing to the comparable number of outbreaks in Canada, Mexico and parts of Western Europe.

“The Europe you are referring to is the WHO European region, which has 53 countries in Europe and in Asia, including those with low vaccination rates like Romania that has never eliminated measles. If you compare us to Western European countries that we often compare ourselves to like Great Britain, they have seen no measles deaths this year,” DeLauro said.

“Let me address your issue first, because I want to correct you,” Kennedy said. “We have about 1,100 measles cases in this country. The growth rate last year was 15 additional, so we have plateaued. Mexico has roughly the same number, but one-third of our population and they got 300 extra cases last week. Canada has more measles, 1,500, they have one-eighth of our population. Western Europe has about 6,000 which is ten times the number that we have. You are wrong about what you said earlier.”

FDA Warns Seniors to Avoid This Vaccine After Deadly Complications

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Older adults are being warned against receiving the chikungunya vaccine before traveling.

The Ixchiq vaccination, developed by Valneva to prevent the mosquito-borne chikungunya virus, was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2023 as the first of its kind.

The approval applies to anyone aged 18 and older who has a risk of being exposed to the virus.

But the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a safety notice on May 9 recommending that adults over 60 years old pause use of the vaccine due to fatal complications.

“FDA and CDC will continue the evaluation of post-marketing safety reports for Ixchiq,” the release reads. (Read more from “FDA Warns Seniors to Avoid This Vaccine After Deadly Complications” HERE)

Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk

/6 Comments/in , , /by

By The Federalist. In the weeks surrounding President Trump’s inauguration, America’s propaganda press relentlessly cited leftist claims that 15,000 trans-identifying individuals would be booted from the military under the new commander-in-chief. The insinuation, of course, was that such a move would harm “military readiness” and the country’s national security.

But as it turns out, there is still no evidence the 15,000 figure parroted by so-called “journalists” is even remotely viable.

Following a victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, the Pentagon announced last week that it has resumed the process of removing individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria from the service. The agency disclosed in a press release that approximately 1,000 service members “who have self-identified as being diagnosed with gender dysphoria will begin the voluntary separation process.”

This revelation prompted The Federalist to probe the Defense Department and branches of the armed services to determine how many trans-identifying troops are currently serving in the military and how many have begun the voluntary separation process in accordance with Pentagon guidelines.

In a statement to The Federalist, a Defense Department official said that, as of February, there are “approximately 4,200 Active-duty, Guard and Reserve service members currently serving diagnosed with gender dysphoria” throughout the armed forces. The total is roughly the same that was announced by the agency in February. (Read more from “Surprise! Media Claims Of 15,000 ‘Trans’ Troops In The Military Are Total Bunk” HERE)

Pentagon halting “gender-affirming” health care for transgender troops, memo says

By NBC News. The Pentagon is halting gender-affirming health care for transgender troops as it moves to implement President Donald Trump’s plan to kick them out of the U.S. military, according to a memo seen by Reuters on Monday.

The instructions from the Defense Department barred any new hormone treatments as well as any surgical procedures for transgender troops, the memo said.

“I am directing you to take the necessary steps to immediately implement this guidance,” Stephen Ferrara, the acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, said in the memo. . .

The U.S. Supreme Court on May 6 permitted Trump’s administration to implement his ban on transgender people in the military, allowing the armed forces to discharge the thousands of current transgender troops and reject new recruits while legal challenges play out.

This New Tax Could Stop Illegal Immigration And Keep Money From Cartels

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Each year, migrants send tens of billions of dollars out of the United States — often landing in cartel coffers.

That may be good for migrants and drug lords, but it’s bad for the American economy. That’s why Congress is considering a new tax on money flowing out of the country. Advocates say the tax would penalize illegal immigration, impose new costs on criminal networks, and increase government revenue, all without impacting Americans’ wallets.

Remittance outflows from the United States — when migrants send money back to their countries of origin — have steadily increased in recent years. Data from the Migration Policy Institute reveal that just over $66 billion was sent out of the American economy in 2020. That number climbed to $73.7 billion in 2021 and $81.6 billion in 2022. By 2023, remittance outflows hit nearly $86 billion.

Now, a five percent remittance tax, which is included in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” could penalize illegal immigration, punish cartels, and create a new revenue stream for the American government.

Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) Media Director Ira Mehlman told The Daily Wire that a tax on remittances would recoup some of the money that is, in effect, exported out of the American economy.

Biden Didn’t Recognize This Megastar — and Huge Supporter — in Shocking Memory Lapse That Left Celeb ‘Shaken to His Core’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A rapidly aging Joe Biden couldn’t even recognize George Clooney at a Democratic fundraiser in Los Angeles during the 2024 campaign — leaving the Hollywood star “shaken to his core,” a bombshell new book claims.

The troubling incident, which unfolded at a June 13, 2024, star-studded fundraiser co-hosted by Clooney, was laid bare in the forthcoming book “Original Sin” by Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper, which chronicles the attempt to cover up Biden’s decline while in office.

“It was obvious to many standing there that the president did not know who George Clooney was,” the authors wrote, according to an excerpt obtained by The Post.

“Clooney was shaken to his core. The president hadn’t recognized him. A man he had known for years.”

The book detailed how a “severely diminished” Biden, then 81 years old, had hobbled into the event with an aide guiding him by the arm — with the president repeatedly thanking guests as he walked by.

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island: Shocking Footage Revealed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A video released by O’Keefe Media Group has disclosed images inside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s residence on his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The defendant, previously convicted of sex crimes, was in jail in New York awaiting further court action on new allegations when he purportedly committed suicide.

The video comes from OMG and reveals “the first on-site images from within the now-infamous compound since his arrest in 2019 and subsequent death.”

James O’Keefe promised that there will be more video images appearing soon.

He reported the video was taken after Epstein’s 2019 arrest but before authorities sealed off access to Epstein’s lair in the ocean.

“The footage shows Epstein’s kitchen in what has been identified as the island’s ‘main mansion.’ The footage depicts a minimalistic room with white walls, stainless steel appliances, and few decorations. (Read more from “Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island: Shocking Footage Revealed” HERE)

Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Gets ‘No Tax’ On Tips And Overtime

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Two of President Donald Trump’s major tax-related campaign promises that will impact millions of American workers have made it into legislation proposed for the so-called “one big, beautiful bill,” albeit only for a period that would not last beyond his second term.

“No Tax On Tips” and “No Tax On Overtime” appear in a 389-page measure released by the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday, with provisions saying the deductions would expire at the end of 2028.

Another of Trump’s priorities, no tax on auto loan interest, made it into the legislation.

Trump had also been pushing for an end to taxes on Social Security for seniors, however Bloomberg reported that it could not be included due to the “special budget process that Congress is using to advance the tax package.”

Instead, the measure has a section that would allow middle-and low-income seniors to deduct an extra $4,000 for each taxable year. (Read more from “Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’ Gets ‘No Tax’ On Tips And Overtime” HERE)
