Three men hanging out in a Washington garage fought off a pair of armed robbers who barged in and stuck a rifle in their faces, wild home security video shows. A series of videos shared online shows two men with hoods, masks and a rifle storming into the garage while the three victims are seated at a table drinking beers. One is wearing plaid pajamas as the other has on a bright blue hoodie. "Give me your s---!" one of the masked men demands. "Everything," the other adds. As the victims remain seated, the man with the gun smacks one...

Ten alleged mafiosos from the Gambino crime family were indicted by the feds for their alleged violent attempts to take over the Big Apple’s garbage hauling and demolition industry — which included a hammer attack that sent one worker to the hospital and a grim threat to cut a business owner in half with a knife. The defendants — who include made men and mob associates — were hit with charges including racketeering conspiracy, extortion, witness retaliation, fraud and embezzlement, according to the indictment unsealed Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court. They each face between 20 and 180 years in prison...

WASHINGTON, November 6, 2023 — As war wages on between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, a watchdog group is releasing a new report that reveals how UNRWA teachers in the enclave, funded largely by the U.S. and EU, indoctrinate Palestinian children and promote terrorism and antisemitism. Entitled “UNRWA: Hate Starts Here,” today’s report uncovers 20 UNRWA teachers and other staff members who celebrated the October 7th Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians on their social media accounts, collected by the non-governmental organization UN Watch, an independent human rights monitoring group based in Geneva. The new cases are in addition to 133...

A media watchdog went over images from the October 7 massacre published in the world's leading outlets, posing question that are both shocking and self-evident Many of the most shocking images from the October 7 come from the Palestinian terrorists who perpetrated it. And yet, quite a few of the photos published by the world's leading media outlets, including AP, CNN, The New York Times and Reuters, raised troubling questions regarding how the persons whose names appeared in the photo credits found themselves on the scene of the worst antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust.

The Israeli government is demanding answers from western media outlets including CNN, Reuters and The Associated Press over troubling images of freelance photographers they each hired which suggest they may have been embedded with Hamas on October 7th. The issue - first highlighted by Honest Reporting - concerns four freelance photographers from Gaza whose works have been published by the media outlets. Among them is Hassan Eslaiah, a photographer who has now been seen in an image with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. All three outlets deny having any prior knowledge of the Hamas attack and insist they have cut ties...

Heavy blow from Israel's armored brigade to a secret Hamas point! Raids on Hamas positions have increased significantly! Terrorists are cornered in the Gaza Strip with both land and air operations! The Israeli army took action in the direction of Beit Hanoun. Troops from Israel's 7th armored brigade launched a reconnaissance operation in the Al Karameh area. Special Israeli forces examined the area in detail and infiltrated a tunnel entrance and discovered that there was an ammunition depot further down the tunnel. An anti-tank position was seen at a point on the surface of the tunnel. This hidden attack area...

Videos showed fights between protestors outside the Los Angeles Museum of Tolerance, where actress Gal Gadot organized a screening of footage of the brutal Hamas terror attack atrocities committed during the October 7 invasion of Israel. The 47-minute footage, provided by the Israeli Defence forces, was aired to a select audience of celebrities and influential personalities in Los Angeles and New York last night. About 200 people attended the screening, though Gadot was not in attendance, nor were any major Hollywood stars, according to the LA Times. That may have been due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which only concluded yesterday....

While the world’s attention is focused on the war raging between Israel and Hamas, the military confrontation between the United States and Hezbollah is heating up. Since the Hamas attacks on 7 October and the subsequent retaliation by Israel, U.S. military bases and outposts in Syria and Iraq are facing daily attacks with rocket, missiles and mortars. I learned today from someone who regularly visits Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland that the wards are filling up with U.S. military personnel wounded in recent attacks on those bases. The White House and the Department of Defense are working actively...

A majority of voters said there is no chance they would vote for President Joe Biden in 2024, a recent CNN poll found, increasing fear among Democrats that swing voters ignore the president’s talking points. 51 percent said there was “no chance” of voting for Biden 45 percent said they were a Biden voter Only 4 percent labeled themselves as a “potential” Biden voter In contrast, voters gave former President Donald Trump better marks, suggesting neither candidate has much room for growth:

Quote Noah Pollak @NoahPollak: 22h 🚨🚨🚨🚨 Important expose by @honestreporting: Photographers working for AP, CNN, NYT, and Reuters were EMBEDDED with Hamas on 10/7 and accompanied the terrorist group into Israel. They knew the attack was coming, and participated in it.*

A three-year drought that has left millions of people in Syria, Iraq and Iran with little water wouldn’t have happened without human-caused climate change, a new study found. The west Asian drought, which started in July 2020, is mostly because hotter-than-normal temperatures are evaporating the little rainfall that fell, according to a flash study Wednesday by a team of international climate scientists at World Weather Attribution. It’s a case of climate change unnaturally intensifying naturally dry conditions into a humanitarian crisis that has left people thirsty, hungry and displaced, concluded the research, which has not yet undergone peer review but...

In the 1970s, the coolest job you could have was flipping burgers at McDonald’s. At least according to Paul Hendel... Still, he felt conflicted. Hendel asked his dad for advice before accepting the offer at McDonald’s. That conversation, he says, “changed the trajectory of my career.” “We were out to dinner, and I mentioned the offer from Hunt, and my dad’s first question — I’ll never forget it — was, ‘Do you like what you do?’” says Hendel. “And I said, ‘Yeah, I really love it.’ And he goes, ‘Do you think you’re good at it?’ And I said, ‘Well...

Even the fastest animal in the world can't outrun the effects of climate change, according to experts. Cheetah populations are especially vulnerable to rising temperatures because hotter days are forcing them to behave more nocturnally, putting them in greater competition with other predators such as lions and African wild dogs, according to a study published in the journal Biological Sciences on Wednesday. Researchers from the University of Washington investigated the impacts of temperature on the activity timings and overlaps between four species of large carnivores in Africa, including lions, leopards, cheetahs and African wild dogs. They found that temperature shaped...

Hate crimes against Jews in Democrat-run New York City surged 214 percent last month, the far-left New York Daily News reports. This is typical. Most of the gun violence, violent crime, pollution, sexism, racism, and hate crimes occur where Democrats are in charge. Time and time again, we see this. And yet, in rural MAGA Land, where all the supposed racists live, where we all own guns, where we supposedly don’t care about the environment, our towns and neighborhoods are clean, peaceful, safe, and tolerant. Funny how that works.

Police and SWAT team members continued their search of a section of sprawling New Jersey woods for a man wanted on charges related to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. The search for the man, identified as Gregory Yetman, was ongoing near the Middlesex County town of Helmetta, according to the FBI. Tactical teams could be seen in the backyard of homes, as Chopper 4 showed law enforcement searching one property and a shed. The heavily armed teams set off flashbang grenades as part of the search, with the loud bangs echoing throughout the neighborhood. It...

The latest ghoulish development following the slaughter of 1,400 Jews in the Oct. 7 Israeli attack on Israel is quite a shocker. The AP, CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times used footage and photos from reporters embedded with Hamas terrorists during their slaughter of hundreds of Jews. These Western media outlets then posted the photos in their coverage of this horrendous surprise attack on Israel.

Another day, another dose of bad fiscal/monetary news. Not surprising with the US Treasury being run by Janet Yellen, who doesn’t seem to know much economics. In fact, with Biden/Congress spending like drunken sailors in port, inflation and The Fed’s counterattack, we see that interest of US debt just hit $1 TRILLION! $1.027 trillion in interest is calculated by multiplying the average interest rate on marketable US Treasury debt (which according to the Treasury is 3.096% as of Oct 31) by the $26.003 trillion in marketable US debt (as of Oct 31) which nets off to $805 billion, and adding...

The ministry reported a 149% increase in interest from Jewish French citizens and and an 81% increase from North American Jews...Sofer says his ministry staff is prepared for a large wave of immigrants and a unified desire to support the State of Israel in the coming year. Ofir Sofer, the minister of Aliyah and Integration, said the Jewish state is ready to face what he called a “state of emergency” due to a 500% rise in global antisemitism, especially against Jewish youths on university campuses. “The State of Israel awaits everyone,” he added, inviting Jews around the world to move...
