Former prime minister Naftali Bennett called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to resign on Monday, accusing him of engaging in the cover-up of the Qatargate affair, which Bennett called “the most serious act of treason in Israeli history.” The statement from Bennett, who is running against Netanyahu in next year’s election, follows new revelations about the scandal. The affair involves allegations that top aides to the prime minister were acting as paid lobbyists for Qatar, where Hamas’s leadership is based, while simultaneously working for Netanyahu. On Sunday, i24 News reported that communication between the suspects showed they had fabricated information,...

In A Nutshell * Swedish researchers followed nearly 28,000 people for up to 30 years and found those eating 50+ grams daily of high-fat cheese (more than 20% fat) had a 13% lower dementia risk compared to light consumers * Not all dairy showed benefits — milk, yogurt, low-fat cheese, and low-fat cream had no clear link to dementia risk, while butter showed mixed results depending on overall diet quality * Vascular dementia saw the biggest drop — people eating the...

But who wants to die for Big Brother’s woke State? Oliver JJ Lane, a writer and editor for Breitbart London, writes frequently about the growing censorship regime in the U.K., the public’s distrust of both institutional government and Establishment politicians of all labels, the official cover-up of Muslim “grooming” gangs that target and rape British children, and the increasing backlash of native Britons against a ruling class that prioritizes “multiculturalism” and “diversity” over everything else. A running theme of his articles is that the U.K. is headed for civil war. Last summer, Lane wrote a piece with this provocative headline:...

Lot of posts copying the likes of @BernieSanders @SenWarren and @AOC calling for more taxes on Billionaire @elonmusk, forgetting that in 2021 he paid a 53% rate of tax totaling $11b. They all repeat the claim that his company has received benefits of $38b from the US Government. Let's look at his REAL economic impact to the U.S. It's mind blowing. Musk’s ventures currently contribute $100–140B in annual GDP impact, or roughly 0.4% of total U.S. GDP. And growing faster – considerably faster – than the US economy, promising even greater contributions in the future. That’s more annual contribution to...

Jaguar’s transition to becoming an EV-only brand is almost complete, following the final vehicle with an engine rolling off one of its UK production lines. Though nothing has been officially announced by Jaguar, the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club reported on last week’s landmark occasion, in which an F-Pace SUV rolled off the line on December 19, 2025. The F-Pace SVR’s black paint was reportedly a tribute to the final E-Type which too was finished in black, though the larger focus was on what was under the SUV’s bonnet, with its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine being the last to leave a Jaguar...

A joint venture between two industry giants will lead to the launch of a flagship EV, and it’ll take an unexpected title when it does come to market. The Afeela 1 is going on sale in California next year as the first model from Sony Honda Mobility, a partnership between the tech and car giants, with a vision to take on the upper end of the EV market. While some cars already offer onboard gaming via their touchscreens – or even have rear screens you can plug devices into – the Afeela 1 will be the first car to feature...

Santa as just left the North Pole. Take off was excellent with perfect flying conditions. MERRY CHRISTMAS FREEPERS.

you have clued me in for sure!! what are the top 10 nations where these vids come from.....this flood since 2024....i see many of these click baity yt channels were born 2024 2025 ______________________ Yeah, the flood of AI-narrated, faceless "dark history"/horror/clickbait channels (the ones with dramatic scripts, AI voices, static AI images + Ken Burns zooms) exploded in 2024–2025, and it's a global phenomenon driven by how dirt-cheap it is to produce. There's no official YouTube stats breakdown by country for these specifically (they don't label "AI slop" channels), but from discussions on Reddit, articles on content farms, and...

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has a lot of embarrassing distinctions from a political standpoint, not the least of which is being part of one of the few vice presidential debates people actually remember, with JD Vance absolutely cleaning his clock in October 2024 without breaking a sweat. After getting humiliated the following month as well, one would think that Walz would lie low in 2025 to avoid further national embarrassment. But, not only has he not done so, he's running for reelection as governor in 2026. Even more amazingly, Walz is rumored to be considering a 2028 presidential run,...

Vince Guaraldi Trio’s soundtrack album for ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ has become a seasonal classic, full of magical pieces that stand on their own.The choice of Vince Guaraldi to create the soundtrack for the first A Charlie Brown Christmas Special, which aired on CBS on December 9, 1965, came about by chance – and ended up proving to be an inspirational decision. American television producer Lee Mendelson, the man who produced the show, was looking for someone to do a jazzy soundtrack. He initially tried for Dave Brubeck. “The first call I made was to Dave Brubeck, who was an...

CROSSLAKE, Minn. (KTTC) – In a letter penned by the mayor of Crosslake, and signed by 97 other mayors across the state of Minnesota, top city officials expressed their “deep concern and growing frustration” with the direction the state is heading in. Crosslake Mayor Jackson Purfeerst claimed that fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management at the state level is making it more difficult for cities and towns to plan responsibly and continue offering core services to local taxpayers. “Minnesotans watched an historic $18 billion in surplus disappear in a single biennium, only to now face an updated projected $2.9...

The recent admission by Ann Brumbaugh, attorney for the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, that 315,000 illegally certified votes were included in Georgia’s 2020 final vote totals, has once again raised the issue of the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.After the 2024 election, the New York Times published “An Extremely Detailed Map of the 2024 Election,” showing a rightward shift in precincts across the country. Commentators have explained this as a surge in Trump’s support. But the map tells another story: The real shift came from a dramatic drop in Democrat votes between 2020 and 2024. That...

Meismer, a sophomore, eventually asked his teacher to use the restroom. Matthews, a senior, did the same minutes later. The pair allegedly argued there, as Matthews confronted Meismer about a missing THC vape pen that investigators said he believed the younger student had stolen. Moments later, Matthews and Meismer allegedly walked into an empty lab classroom, which an unnamed female student also entered. That is where the fatal stabbing allegedly occurred.

Divorcing a good man is not an act of bravery but an act of self-destruction that harms many others in the process.There’s a big milestone coming up for a lot of families this year: first divorced Christmas. It might be a challenging day of splitting kids between disparate family events. Or, perhaps, Mom and Dad will behave like adults and both show up to the same gathering in an effort to create some normalcy for their children, who, heretofore, might have had an intact family and simple celebrations.For as long as there has been marriage, there have been some people...

The Southern Baptist Convention has squandered much of its moral credibility crusading for leftist causes, such as amnesty and DEI.The rationale used to campaign for sweeping #MeToo overhauls within the nation’s largest Protestant denomination has now been thoroughly discredited. Newly released documents in Sills v. Southern Baptist Convention reveal how unwise decisions by denominational leaders, combined with unethical conduct by investigative consulting group Guidepost Solutions, manipulated Southern Baptists into a manufactured crisis. The result was a self-inflicted unraveling that exposed the denomination to litigation and has already cost $13 million and counting in investigative and legal expenses.The recent revelations center...
