UK Blocks Trump From Using RAF Bases for Strikes on Iran — and He Is Already Retaliating

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The UK is blocking President Trump from using its military air bases for a possible attack on Iran — because the lefty government believes such strikes could violate international law and doesn’t want Britain implicated, according to a new report.

Trump has already hit back by slamming the UK prime minister’s plan to resolve a long-running dispute over a strategically crucial chain of islands in the Indian Ocean.

The White House is drawing up plans for a possible military strike on Iran that involves the use of the Royal Air Force base Fairford in England — which is a forward operating base for America’s heavy bombers, the Times reported.

Trump reportedly spoke with Prime Minister Keir Starmer about the plans Tuesday night, and UK officials were worried that giving the US permission to use the RAF bases for a military attack could breach international law, according to the Times.

Trump made a direct reference to the UK base in Diego Garcia — part of the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean nearly 6,000 miles from Britain — plus RAF Fairford. (Read more from “UK Blocks Trump From Using RAF Bases for Strikes on Iran — and He Is Already Retaliating” HERE)

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor – formerly Prince Andrew, Duke of York – was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He was apprehended and placed in police custody on his 66th birthday.

The BBC notes this is the first time the second son of the late Queen Elizabeth II, who has faced numerous allegations over his links to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has been arrested.

Andrew has consistently and strenuously denied any wrongdoing.

olice did not directly name Mountbatten-Windsor, as is normal under U.K. law. But when asked if he had been arrested, the force pointed to a statement (see below) saying they had arrested a man in his 60s.

Mountbatten-Windsor is 66 and today is his birthday.

He was apprehended after a raid on his new Sandringham home. (Read more from “Prince Andrew Arrested on Suspicion of Misconduct in Public Office” HERE)

BBC’s Headline On Conservative Student Beaten To Death Sparks Massive Backlash

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) sparked massive backlash on Tuesday for labeling a conservative student beaten to death by a mob a “far-right student” in a recently published headline.

Authorities charged a group of nine far-left militants with fatally beating 23-year-old Quentin Deranque in Lyon, France, during a protest. The BBC published the headline, “Nine arrested in France over death of far-right student,” which sparked outrage among conservatives online.

The article, written by Hugh Schofield, stated that Deranque was beaten at a protest held by so-called “far-right feminists” at the Institute of Political Studies. The suspects who were detained are reportedly linked to a far-left militant group called La Jeune Garde (Young Guard), according to the BBC. Among those arrested was a parliamentary assistant from the far-left France Unbowed (LFI) party.

Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Millions of files related to the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a “global criminal enterprise” that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the United Nations human rights council has said.

The experts said crimes outlined in documents released by the US justice department were committed against a backdrop of supremacist beliefs, racism, corruption and extreme misogyny. The crimes, they said, showed a commodification and dehumanisation of women and girls.

“So grave is the scale, nature, systematic character, and transnational reach of these atrocities against women and girls, that a number of them may reasonably meet the legal threshold of crimes against humanity,” they said in a statement.

The experts said the allegations contained in the files require an independent, thorough and impartial investigation, and said inquiries should also be launched into how it was possible for such crimes to be committed for so long. . .

A law, approved by Congress with broad bipartisan support in November, requires all Epstein-related files to be made public. (Read more from “Epstein Files Suggest Acts That May Amount to Crimes Against Humanity, Say UN Experts” HERE)

REPORT: Three Million Dogs to be Killed by Firing Squad Ahead of World Cup

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Animal rights groups have expressed outrage over Morocco’s alleged killing of millions of stray dogs ahead of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, according to a recent report.

Organizations such as the International Animal Welfare and Protection Coalition (IAWPC) and PETA have criticized Moroccan officials for culling the population of roughly three million stray dogs, according to the Daily Mail.

The animal rights organizations have reportedly “released images and testimony” claiming that Moroccan officials are resorting to “using harsh methods” such as “clamping dogs by the neck, loading them into trucks and poisoning or shooting them before disposing of their bodies,” according to the outlet.

In a “91-page dossier to FIFA” from the IAWPC, there were “photographs documenting poisonings, forced starvation, and the shooting of dogs.” The organization has claimed that after Morocco was confirmed to be one of the countries hosting the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the killing of stray dogs “has increased dramatically.”

“After the [World Cup confirmation], the extermination of the dogs has increased dramatically,” IAWPC stated, adding that “the fear is that Morocco will” proceed to kill millions of dogs, according to the outlet.

Massie Torches AG Bondi: ‘I Have No Confidence’

/3 Comments/in , , /by

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Sunday he has no confidence in Attorney General Pam Bondi, escalating tensions over the Justice Department’s handling of sensitive document disclosures tied to Jeffrey Epstein.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Massie did not mince words when asked by host Martha Raddatz whether he still trusted Bondi to lead the department.

“I don’t think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi,” Massie said. “She wasn’t confident enough to engage in anything but name-calling in the hearing. And so no, I don’t have confidence in her.”

The Kentucky congressman sharply criticized Bondi’s responses during a recent congressional hearing, particularly over questions surrounding document redactions. Massie said he pressed the attorney general on who made the decision to redact the name of Lesley Wexner from a key document but received no clear answer.

“When I asked her specifically who redacted Lesley Wexner’s name from the one document that mattered, she couldn’t give me an answer. She wouldn’t give me an answer,” Massie said. “But ultimately, it’s her who is responsible for the document production. According to our law, the attorney general. It’s not Todd Blanche, it’s not the people below them. You can assign tasks to people, but you can’t assign your responsibility.”

Massie framed the controversy as part of a broader battle with powerful interests he claims are aligned against him.

“This is about the Epstein class, the people who are funding the attacks against me,” he said. “They may or may not be implicated in these files, but they were certainly rubbing shoulders with the people who are in these files. They’re billionaires who are friends with these people. And that’s what I’m up against.”

New Administration People Visiting: Epstein’s Mail to Bill Gates After Trump’s 2016 Win

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sex offender Jeffrey Epstein invited Microsoft co-founder and billionaire Bill Gates to his island, Little Saint James, saying people from the “new administration” were visiting him. The email, sent in December 2016, seemingly indicated those from Donald Trump’s team during his first term, considering he was elected as the President of the US a month before that.

“Come to visit the island. New administration people visiting,” the email read.

Trump, who became the President of the US for the second time after defeating Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2020 elections, had earlier said that he had severed ties with Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s. However, it cannot be ascertained whether Epstein was indeed talking about the Trump administration.

The email exchanges are part of the fresh tranche of documents associated with Epstein and released by the US Justice Department. These also come at a time when senior members of the Trump administration are facing renewed scrutiny over their links to the sex offender. Earlier this week, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick confirmed that he had lunch with Epstein at the latter’s island in 2012, contradicting his previous claims about severing ties with the paedophile years before his conviction.

“I did have lunch with him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation,” Lutnick testified on Capitol Hill. “My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies…We had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour.” (Read more from “New Administration People Visiting: Epstein’s Mail to Bill Gates After Trump’s 2016 Win” HERE)

State Of Emergency Declared As US Region Faces Worst Drought In 25 Years Amid Hundreds Of Wildfires

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Florida is currently enduring its most severe drought in 25 years, according to updated data recently released. This troubling development coincides with the Florida Forest Service (FFS) reporting a highly concerning beginning to the 2026 wildfire season Friday. Since Jan. 1, over 650 wildfires have already been documented statewide.

A state of emergency has been issued by Gov. Ron DeSantis to address both the prolonged drought and the history-making Arctic cold that impacted Florida at the start of Feb.

The emergency order suspends agricultural weight limits that enable farmers to move and harvest crops more efficiently. It also instructs the state to gather the necessary documentation to pursue federal assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Small Business Administration.

Water shortage restrictions are now in place through every one of Florida’s water management districts — there’s a total of five. Several restrictions even have strict limits on lawn irrigation.

Per the U.S. Drought Monitor, 98% of Florida has some degree of drought while 85% is classified as being in “severe drought,” the highest level since Mar. 2001. (Read more from “State Of Emergency Declared As US Region Faces Worst Drought In 25 Years Amid Hundreds Of Wildfires” HERE)

Damning Report Torpedoes Trump’s ‘Central Defense’ About Epstein Ties

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A new report on Sunday torpedoed one of President Donald Trump’s “central defenses” about his ties to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump has often claimed that he has never been credibly accused of wrongdoing over the course of his relationship with Epstein. He has also claimed that he never knew of Epstein’s crimes, even though the recently released Epstein files include a transcript of Trump calling a local police station and telling them about “creepy” Epstein.

But a new report undermines both of those claims. Investigative political reporter Roger Sollenberger reported on Sunday that Trump was credibly accused of abusing at least two young girls, citing court records and an internal FBI slideshow that was released in the latest tranche of Epstein files. . .

The report also mentions that Trump was at least partially aware of Epstein’s crimes because of information provided by a witness who helped secure a conviction against Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

‘Quiet’ Father Allegedly Stabbed 3-Month-Old Son, Threw Him in the Snow as Part of ‘Sacrifice’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A “quiet” Pennsylvania father allegedly stabbed his baby son and tossed his tiny, injured body into the snow last week as part of a “sacrifice,” prosecutors chillingly revealed Thursday.

Michael Phillips, 44, was arrested after police responded to a call about a stabbing on Wednesday at an apartment complex in Coatesville just before 11:40 a.m., according to the Chester County District Attorney’s Office.

After arriving at the home, police discovered that Phillips had allegedly stabbed his 3-month-old son in the abdomen after the infant’s mother said he made comments about “having to sacrifice the baby” and had come at her with a knife, the DA said.

Philips allegedly tried to stab his baby son several times, but only managed to strike him once, the mother told police.

After the father launched the alleged freak assault, the terrified mother grabbed the injured child and her 9-year-old son to flee the residence, prosecutors added. (Read more from “‘Quiet’ Father Allegedly Stabbed 3-Month-Old Son, Threw Him in the Snow as Part of ‘Sacrifice’” HERE)
