Two cities; Abdan and Malik Shahi have now officially fallen as the police and the IRGC withdrew their forces. While this is good news, obviously this is a temporary so-called liberation. This actually makes these two cities now extremely dangerous because of course tomorrow morning we are expecting the IRGC to send extra reinforcements to make a point to take them back. They're going to go absolutely mental. Now in this live stream we're going to give you guys the latest updates coming from inside Iran that the mainstream media is not showing you. And we're also going to talk...

I'm Alex Adams, HHS Assistant Secretary for the Administration for Children and Families. For the past two weeks, everyone's been asking questions about the political patronage system in Minnesota. Incompetent state officials, through negligence or by design, for years have stood by as taxpayer money was diverted into the pockets of politically connected cronies. State officials have been unwilling to provide definitive confirmation about the size and scope of fraud. This...

WILMINGTON, DE — With the successful military operation to topple the authoritarian Venezuelan government, former President Joe Biden was notified that he was being forced to pay Donald Trump the $25 million bounty his administration had put in place for capturing Nicolas Maduro.

In the hours since U.S. military forces captured Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro in a pre-dawn raid Saturday, officials across the landscape of Major League Baseball have scrambled to check on the safety of players, coaches and scouts throughout the country, while trying to understand how the raid and its aftermath might affect the upcoming baseball season and World Baseball Classic. Those within baseball were still gathering information on Monday, but interviews with executives, scouts and agents suggested a tenuous status quo in a country marked by unsteady relations with the United States for many years.

The Hochul administration is being accused of covering up crimes in prisons by downgrading attacks committed by inmates against guards as “harassment” or “disruptive behavior” instead of assaults. A bombshell Dec. 31, 2025 memo issued by the state Corrections Department’s deputy commissioner Michael D’Amore lays out examples of what constitutes an assault and what’s considered the lower classification of harassment or disruptive behavior. “The Department has redefined the Unusual Incident (UI) category, and created harassment as a reportable UI,” D’Amore said in the memo sent to all prison superintendents and watch commanders. For example, an inmate who rips off the...

PAID Protesters. The Timeline Doesn’t Add Up. Here me out Maduro was captured around 2 AM on a Saturday in Venezuela. By 7 AM, protesters around America were already marching in the streets with professionally printed signs. Perfect fonts. High-quality printing. Unified messaging. That doesn’t happen in a few hours. That takes planning, money, and coordination. So who lined it up? Who paid for it? And why was it ready before most Americans were even awake?
