QUEENS, NY (TND) — A shocking arrest was made in an apparent homegrown terrorism case involving two brothers in Queens, New York. Authorities said an arsenal of homemade weapons and a "hit list" listing "cops, judges, politicians, celebrities" and “banker scum” were found when the suspected anarchists were arrested at their home. New York police arrested 39-year-old Andrew and 51-year-old Angelo Hatziagelis. On January 17, a search warrant was served at their Astoria apartment that the brothers shared with their mother and another brother.

The new CEO for National Public Radio (NPR) has become instant news over social media postings that she deleted before the recent announcement of her selection. Katherine Maher is the former CEO of Wikipedia and sought to remove controversial postings on subjects ranging from looters to Trump. Shannon Thaler at the New York Post reassembled Maher’s deleted postings including a 2018 declaration that “Donald Trump is a racist” and a variety of race-based commentary. That included a statement that appeared to excuse looting: She is also quoted for saying that “white silence is complicity.” She has described her own “hysteric...

VIDEORemember when No Labels was hyped in the media because they thought it would hurt Republicans? Well, now it appears that No Labels will definitely hurt Joe Biden in 2024 so they are now the target of both the media and the usual TDS suspects such as Robert Reich and the Lincoln Project among others. A recent report showed that the Democrats are so desperate to STOP No Labels that they threated any future candidate of that party with revealing any skeleton they might have in their closet.

KAIT, a news station in Arkansas that Hanson worked for from 2010 to 2015 and again from 2018 to 2021, said she "had a medical emergency earlier this week and died from complications." It's not clear what the medical emergency was at this time.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that her deepest condolences go out to the three U.S. service members killed in a drone attack by Iran-backed militants in Jordan, who she said were fighting on behalf “of this administration.” Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Is there anything new since we spoke with Admiral Kirby in the last hour in terms of the Biden administration’s plans to respond to what has happened?” Jean-Pierre said, “So nothing new to report back from what Admiral John Kirby shared with all of you about an hour or so ago. What...

Cities coast-to-coast grappling with broken-down e-buses that cannot be fixed .. Between the federal government, states and municipalities, untold billions in taxpayer dollars have been spent adding electric buses to transit fleets across the U.S. in an effort to reduce carbon emissions. However, cities from coast-to-coast are grappling with broken-down e-buses that cannot be fixed, are too expensive to fix, or they have scrapped their electric fleets altogether. Officials in Asheville, North Carolina, recently expressed frustration that three of the five e-buses the city purchased for millions in 2018 are now sitting idle due to a combination of software issues,...

The $130 billion sent to Ukraine so far for its war against Russia is apparently not actually going to Ukraine, but is really “benefiting American interests,” a spokesperson for Ukraine told Breitbart News. The shock claim was in response to a request for information by Breitbart News on whether or not any American tax dollars had gone specifically to Uman, a city in the war-torn Eastern European nation that is currently seeing a condo built on a Jewish mass grave, as previously reported, in violation of a bilateral agreement with the U.S., and in violation of international law. Breitbart reported...

E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist to whom a jury awarded $83.3 million in damages last week as part of a defamation trial against Donald Trump, said on CNN Monday that the court proceedings were little more than a “campaign stop” for the former president. “The courtroom was not a courtroom to him, it was a campaign stop. That was clear,” Carroll said on “CNN This Morning.” “He’s using me to win voters. Sexual assault. A man found liable for sexual assault is using the woman he sexually assaulted to get votes.” Carroll has alleged Trump raped her in...

Secular India appears on its way to becoming a Hindu state. Last Monday, India witnessed the spectacle of millions watching on television as Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a temple to the Hindu god Ram built upon the ruins of a historic 16th-century mosque demolished by a mob in 1992 in the northern city of Ayodhya. Erasing the distinction between church and state, Modi called it a "divine moment" that marked "Ram's rule again" and the end of a "slavery mindset." With the building of the temple, he said that 1,000 years of slavery was finished. Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party...

In a somber admission, the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell, conveys a gloomy outlook on the Ukrainian conflict, stating, “We do not see the light at the end of the Ukrainian tunnel.” Despite European sanctions, Borrell acknowledges that they have only weakened, not destroyed, the Russian military machine. This confession comes as Ukraine’s hopes of defeating Russia appear to be fading, with President Zelensky pleading for more support amid international fatigue and political gridlock. The Washington Post reports a sense of desperation within Ukraine’s corridors of power, highlighting the country’s plea for arms, aid, and political commitments. Two years...

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. — A dying thief who confessed to stealing a pair of ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in “The Wizard of Oz” because he wanted to pull off “one last score” is expected to stay out of prison after he's sentenced Monday. Terry Jon Martin, 76, stole the slippers in 2005 from the Judy Garland Museum in the late actor’s hometown of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. He gave into temptation after an old mob associate told him the shoes had to be adorned with real jewels to justify their $1 million insured value, his attorney revealed in a...

This week, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis refused to hand over communications between herself and the White House regarding coordinating her prosecution of Trump with President Biden's reelection campaign to House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). "These documents will be kept confidential as part of the 'attorney-client privilege,'" she contended. Jordan challenged her assertion of privilege, saying "she is the prosecutor. She doesn't have a client. Neither does she have a legitimate purpose in discussing the political ramifications of her case against Trump with the President. That would be an abuse of her office. Since taxpayers pay her...

The awarding of nearly $90 million to the second-rate advice columnist E. Jean Carroll will doubtless be remembered for generations as the greatest miscarriage of justice in contemporary American history. Jean Carroll’s case was not just ludicrous on the face of it, but between the judge, the “experts” who testified, and the mechanisms by which the case even came to be, it’s impossible for any ordinary person in the West to see this as anything more than the continuation of a series of hoaxes perpetrated on former President Donald J. Trump with the desire to keep him from re-entering the...

[Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis slams critics of same-sex couples blessing as ‘small ideological groups’In discussing Fiducia Supplicans, Pope Francis described the Catholic Church in Africa as 'a special case' since 'for them, homosexuality is something 'ugly' from a cultural point of view; they do not tolerate it.'Pope Francis has said that those who oppose Fiducia Supplicans (FS) “belong to small ideological groups” and that the Church in Africa is “a special case” because of its culture. In an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa, Francis addressed the criticism of the controversial Vatican declaration on “blessings” for couples in irregular...

The recently-retired banking oracle - who forecast the 2008 housing crisis - made the dramatic prediction this week.. Bove, 83, claimed other analysts won't make the same admission because they're 'monks praying to money' who rely on the mainstream financial system.. It comes despite the collapse of its property sector, which accounts for roughly a quarter of the country's economy, and US growth ... China will soon overtake the American economy and the US dollar will catastrophically collapse, according to famed financial analyst Richard X Bove. In a characteristically histrionic forecast, the recently-retired 83-year-old banking oracle has announced that 'the...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As tensions between the federal government and 25 red states over securing the border continued to stoke fears of another Civil War, President Biden cleverly distracted a concerned American public by announcing the start of a new World War. "It's time to bomb Iran!" said the President to a bowl of melted ice cream on his nightstand. "Those whipper-snappers have been living on borrowed time ever since they chased me and the boys around the pool with switchblades. And if that doesn't do the trick, we'll bomb Russia and China as well. Not a joke!" Many critics...

The United Nations aid agency staffers accused of taking part in Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel included some who provided rocket-propelled grenades — as well as others who actively killed and kidnapped Israelis, according to a damning dossier of intel given to the US.

Israeli officials said they tracked the movements of UN aid workers on the...
