    More than 180 migrants crossed into Poland through a tunnel hidden in a forest on the border with Belarus, frontier guards said on Friday. Around 130 of them were detained in Poland after the passage was discovered on Thursday, but the rest were still on the run, the Polish Border Guard said in a statement. It released video of the tunnel dug through roots and bare earth, supported by wooden posts and metal rods and just 1.5 meters (5 feet) high – not enough for most people to pass through without crouching. European Union member Poland has been grappling with...
  • Muslim Bondi Beach hero who disarmed terrorist branded a ‘traitor’ in Arab media for saving Jewish lives: report

    The heroic Syrian-Australian man who disarmed one of the terrorists firing at a crowd of Hanukkah revelers at Australia’s Bondi Beach has been slammed as a traitor by many Palestinian commenters for saving Jewish lives, according to a new report. After the West Bank-based Ramallah News outlet shared a story about the life-saving actions taken by Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, many of the outlet’s readers trashed the Muslim hero and prayed that he would not recover from his serious injuries, according to an analysis by the Israeli-based Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). While Ahmed’s heroism served as a “feel-good story” for...
  • 'Obsessed!' Morning Joe Mocks Trump's Biden Speech Mentions with Willie Nelson Song

    Always on the lookout for new ways to attack President Trump, Morning Joe went musical today. The show opened Thursday's episode with Willie Nelson's "Always On My Mind" playing in the background, mocking Trump's frequent mentions of his predecessor in his address to the country last night, and in other instances. Scarborough announced with delight: "Joe Biden. Very much living rent-free in Donald Trump's mind." Mock away, Morning Joe. But in contrast with Biden, at least Trump has a mind that works. Speaking of which, where was Scarborough's mind when he angrily bellowed, just three months before Biden's infamous debate...

    A federal watchdog shared a message Wednesday asking White men to come forward to report potential instances of discrimination against them in the workplace. Vice President JD Vance re-posted the video message from U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair Andrea Lucas on X. In her video statement, Lucas noted that White men who face workplace discrimination may be able to recover money under the law. "Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex? You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact the @USEEOC as soon...

    This announcement (Dan Bongino's resignation from the FBI) does not come as a surprise to those follow the details of corrupt systems closely and who have watched the scale of the problems surface through the years.The problems within the FBI as an institution are systemic. Both Kash Patel and Dan Bongino faced a monumental challenge in trying to get their arms around the scale of the problem within the institution. There is no apple, only worms. Any type of institutional confrontation at this scale can only succeed if the problems are first admitted. Bongino faced a big challenge with Director...

    Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), the operator of Truth Social, has agreed to an all-stock merger with nuclear fusion firm TAE Technologies, valued at roughly $6 billion. The deal is a strategic pivot to address the massive electricity demand from the artificial intelligence sector, transforming the social media company into a vertically integrated tech and energy giant. The new entity plans to build a 50-megawatt fusion pilot plant starting in 2026, marking an attempt to become one of the first publicly traded commercial fusion energy firms... ...The deal, which is set to close in mid-2026, would create one of...

    Explanation: Jupiter, the Solar System's ruling gas giant, is the brightest celestial beacon at the center of this composite night skyscape. The scene was constructed by selecting the 40 exposures containing meteors from about 500 exposures made on the nights of December 13 and 14, near peak activity for this year's annual Geminid meteor shower. With each selected exposure registered in the night sky above Alentejo, Portugal, planet Earth, it does look like the meteors are streaming away from Jupiter. But the apparent radiant of the Geminid meteors is actually closer to bright star Castor, in the shower's eponymous constellation...

    When tragedy strikes it is human to try to look for the good, and one thing that stood out among the horror with the Bondi massacre was the outstanding behaviour from the majority of men. ..... If what happened over the weekend made you more scared of the senseless violence men can be capable of, I don’t blame you. But I do think we should take solace in the fact the vast majority of men caught up in the horrors behaved selflessly and heroically. You don’t have to look far to see all the incredible acts from men during the...

    Almost two years after a Democrat-elected prosecutor secured a conviction against then-candidate Donald Trump, a New York appeals court could decide soon on the appeal of the Manhattan felony conviction. “There is no upside for the courts to string this along. So, we could see a ruling soon,” said Dan Backer, counsel for the watchdog group Coolidge Reagan Foundation, who co-wrote an amicus brief filed Monday and first shared with The Daily Signal. The brief, filed in the First Department Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, calls for reversal of Trump’s conviction. ... Bragg’s team argued that Trump’s...

    Scientists have found that the risk of shingles may rise slightly in the weeks following a Covid booster shot. The discovery comes from researchers at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, who analyzed electronic health records from more than two million people aged 12 and older who had received at least one Covid vaccine. The study found that the risk of developing shingles within 28 days of vaccination increased by seven percent when all doses were combined and by 21 percent after the third, or booster, dose of an mRNA vaccine. Shingles, which appears as a painful, blistering rash,...

The trial of the 78-year-old Lai, which was conducted without a jury and overseen by three government‑appointed judges, ended with guilty verdicts on charges of collusion with foreign forces and sedition—offenses...
