Text Message Reportedly Reveals Motivation Of ‘Deeply Disturbed’ Man Killed Attempting To Breach Mar-a-Lago

/14 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The man killed by Secret Service agents Sunday while attempting to breach President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida had an apparent obsession with the release of files pertaining to deceased child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, TMZ reported.

Two agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office confronted Austin Tucker Martin, 21, who was armed with a shotgun and carrying a gas can, according to a press conference held by federal and local law enforcement officials following a statement from the U.S. Secret Service. The texts between Martin and a co-worker about the Epstein files from Feb. 15 indicated a belief there was a cover-up about the disgraced financier, according to TMZ.

“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable,” one of Martin’s texts reads. “The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”

The Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages of documents from its collection of Epstein files Jan. 30, which included contacts Epstein had with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and former White House strategist Steve Bannon.

The disgraced financier, arrested in 2019 on sex trafficking charges, apparently committed suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial. Even after he became a convicted sex offender, Epstein had extensive ties to celebrities, politicians, and executives, including L Brands founder Lex Wexner, director Woody Allen, and Andrew -Windsor, the former Duke of York.

Ancient Assyrian Christian Community in Middle East ‘Doesn’t Have a Chance of Survival’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A religious freedom activist warns that the Assyrian Christian community in the Middle East “does not have a chance of survival” and offered sharp words of criticism at the sixth annual International Religious Freedom Summit, saying “the West has repeatedly failed Assyrian Christians.”

During a Monday panel discussion titled “Voices from Underreported Religious Communities Caught Amid Conflict,” experts discussed the dire state of religious freedom in several countries and pleaded for help from the United States, Western countries and supranational organizations like the United Nations.

Karmella Borashan of the Assyrian International Council spoke about the plight of Assyrian Christians, which she noted dates back to the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and the subsequent Syrian Civil War.

“Ever since, Assyrians faced systematic, subtle persecution from both the Jihadists and Kurdish forces, each using different tactics, and in Syria, lack of security and economic collapse specifically affects all Syrians, specifically Assyrian Christians as minorities,” Borashan said. “Many villages that once were very thriving, they remain largely empty.”

“In Iraq, they face violent attack by Islamist extremists,” she added. “Assyrian archeological sites more than 3000 years [old] are being vandalized.” (Read more from “Assyrian Community in Middle East ‘Doesn’t Have a Chance of Survival’” HERE)

Married Democrat Candidate Cozies Up To Much Younger Far-Left Opponent Over Drinks

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Democratic candidates Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh appeared to cozy up to each other and enjoy drinks at a historic Chicago cocktail bar, less than a month before they are set to face each other in a heated House primary.

Biss, the mayor of Evanston, Illinois, and Abughazaleh, a prominent left-wing social media influencer, are both running in Illinois’ 9th congressional district, which will hold its crowded Democratic primary on March 17 to replace retiring longtime Democratic Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, 81. Both were spotted next to each other at Uptown Chicago’s Green Mill Cocktail Lounge, photos from multiple accounts posted to X on Thursday show.

The photos depict Biss, who is married with two children, seated closely next to Abughazaleh, more than 20 years his junior, in a booth at the century-old bar, with what appeared to be multiple alcoholic drinks on the table.

In one photo, Biss is seen smiling and holding up a glass in the direction of the Abughazaleh. Another shows the mayor tilting his head toward the influencer with just inches separating the two Democrats.

When asked for comment, Biss’ campaign referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to Axios reporter Justin Kaufmann’s X post.

Inside the Rotting Skeleton of Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ Plane That Still Holds Dark Clues About Perv’s Abuses

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “Lolita Express” private jet has been rotting in a Georgia boneyard for a decade— but, dark reminders of the late pedophile’s depraved lifestyle still remain frozen in time.

The Post uncovered the eerie evidence this week during a rare tour of the 133-foot-long Boeing 727, which Epstein once used to shuttle his young sex-trafficking victims around the globe, according to prosecutors.

New photos show the jet corroding and falling apart on an outdoor slab, where it has been left exposed to the elements for years.

Insects and mildew coat parts of the once-luxurious interior, which features a bedroom, three separate sitting areas, a kitchen and two bathrooms – all finished with polished wood, high-pile carpeting and other upscale features.

The plane — N908JE, the last two digits a nod to the perv’s initials — ferried former President Bill Clinton, ex Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and other VIPs.

Fury as Serial Child Molester Freed From Prison Early: ‘Monster Parents Fear Most’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a jaw-dropping decision that’s igniting fury across California, state officials have approved the parole for one of Sacramento County’s most reviled child predators — despite promises he would die behind bars.

David Allen Funston, 64, was granted parole under California’s Elderly Parole Program this week, stunning victims and prosecutors who believed he would never walk free. The program allows inmates over the age of 50 who have served 20 years to petition for release.

“He shouldn’t be breathing the same air that we’re breathing at all,” one of Funston’s victims, who was taken and assaulted by him at 4-years-old, told the Los Angeles Times. “I disagree with him getting paroled out because he’s a horrible person. That man is a monster.”

The monster in question earned his reputation through a reign of terror in the mid-90’s. Living in a suburb of Sacramento, Funston reportedly kidnapped and molested at least eight children — seven girls and one boy — luring them in with Barbie dolls and candy.

One victim, a five-year-old immigrant girl who spoke limited English, was assaulted and abandoned 50 miles from her home in a rural county. (Read more from “Fury as Serial Child Molester Freed From Prison Early: ‘Monster Parents Fear Most’” HERE)

WATCH: Cartel Terror Erupts in Over One Third of Mexico as CJNG Exacts Revenge

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Cartel violence exploded across more than ten of Mexico’s 32 states on Sunday after the government of Mexico confirmed the death of Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera, triggering roadblocks, gunfire, and burning vehicle attacks from the Pacific Coast to the Texas border.

The unrest forced airports to halt operations, highways to shut down, and U.S. officials to warn American citizens to shelter-in-place as CJNG gunmen launched coordinated retaliatory strikes nationwide.

As reported by Breitbart Texas, El Mencho’s death occurred during an enforcement operation conducted by special operations group soldiers with the Mexican Army. At 1:10 p.m. on Sunday, Mexico’s Secretary of National Defense confirmed El Mencho’s demise with the assistance of other military units, including the Mexican Air Force.

The violence erupted shortly after rumors of El Mencho’s death began to circulate early Sunday morning when cartel gunmen associated with the CJNG began constructing road blockades using semi-tractor trailers and civilian vehicles, some lit on fire, to impede traffic along major roadways in four key states controlled by the cartel.

The CJNG is one of several cartels in Mexico that have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the Trump administration. Gunmen set multiple vehicles alight and set fire to commercial buildings, bringing traffic in several Mexican cities to a standstill in the border state of Tamaulipas. The violence soon spread to Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Jalisco. (Read more from “WATCH: Cartel Terror Erupts in Over One Third of Mexico as CJNG Exacts Revenge” HERE)

Senator Who Helped Lisa Murkowski Win With Fraud Is Now Blocking President Trump’s Vote Integrity Bill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senator Mitch McConnell appears to be stalling the voting bill backed by President Trump, and fellow Republicans are not happy.

McConnell, who leads the Senate Rules Committee, is refusing to schedule a vote on the legislation, thus preventing it from moving forward. The bill would create barriers for voting, requiring specific forms of ID in order for Americans to exercise their constitutional right.

In blocking it, the retiring senator and former majority leader has drawn the ire of his colleagues. Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on X Friday saying McConnell’s actions are partially coming from a place of “meanness” because he doesn’t like Trump, and called his mental acuity into question.

“He’s blocking the SAVE Act, or is he? Is it him or a staff member, because as you know, he’s a lot like Joe Biden was in his last few days in office, or last years in office,” Burchett said. “His cognizant level is diminishing daily.”

Burchett went on a tangent about how much of Congress is run by staffers because certain aging members of Congress have diminishing mental capacity, citing the case of Representative Kay Granger, the former House Appropriations Committee chair who disappeared for months in 2024 and was later found to be living in an independent living facility.

Trump Says He Deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor for His 2018 Visit to Iraq: ‘I Was Extremely Brave’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump wanted to give himself the Congressional Medal of Honor, he revealed.

The president, 79, appeared in Rome, Ga., on Thursday, Feb. 19, where he recalled his December 2018 surprise visit to U.S. troops at Al Asad Air Force Base in Iraq’s Anbar province.

“I decided to go to Iraq. I was extremely brave. So brave in fact that I wanted to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump told the Georgia crowd, per footage published by ABC News 4. “I said to my people, ‘Am I allowed to give myself the Congressional Medal of Honor?’”

He acknowledged that the honor has been given to “so many guys that are seriously brave.”

“I mean, they come in and their arms are missing, their legs are missing. Their stories are so unbelievable. And I said that’s a little stretch if I gave myself one,” he said.

Bizarre Photos Show ex-Prince Andrew Playing with Young Boy — using a ‘Boob’ Ball

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Bizarre, newly revealed photos show then-Prince Andrew playing with an infant — using a ball made to look like a woman’s breast.

The photos show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in 2011, when he was still a favored prince and the Duke of York, down on all fours at his home in Windsor, playing with the unidentified young boy, according to TMZ, which obtained the pics after Andrew’s shocking arrest Thursday.

What looks like an innocent moment takes an inappropriate turn when it becomes clear that the ball is actually made to look like a boob, with a fake nipple sticking out of it.

In one snap, the boy bends down to pick up the bizarre object — with the nipple pointing straight at him.

The photos surfaced Thursday soon after Andrew was released from 11 hours of custody following his dramatic, historic arrest for suspected misconduct in public office for allegedly giving confidential documents to his now-deceased pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein.

Nightly Bathroom Habit Was Missed Sign of Common Men’s Cancer: ‘I Didn’t Know’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after chalking his nightly bathroom trips up to drinking too much fluid before bed, as reported by SWNS.

“I would wake up in the middle of the night and go to the loo a couple of times, but I never thought too much of it,” Ed Matthews, who lives in London, told the news outlet.

Matthews wrote off the early warning signs — until he received a shocking diagnosis in April 2025.

The avid golfer and skier said he felt “fit and healthy” when he went in for a routine health check provided by his employer last April. . .

When an MRI scan produced inconclusive results, Matthews underwent a biopsy. Less than three weeks after he went for the original check-up, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. . .

Early-stage prostate cancer rarely causes symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, changes include a frequent, sometimes urgent, need to urinate, especially at night. Other signs include weak urine flow, flow that starts and stops, and blood when using the restroom, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
