@RupertLowe10 It looks like Starmer is seriously considering a ban on X. I will protest against this on the streets of London. I hope you will all join me.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Violent rioters favoring monarchy vandalized public and private properties in a number of cities across Iran on Thursday night, inflicting injuries on ordinary people and security forces.

Crystal-clear new footage shows the moments leading up to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, filmed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot her. Good, 37, could be seen smiling at Jonathan 'Jon' Ross while sitting in her Honda Pilot on Wednesday afternoon and saying, 'That's fine dude. I'm not mad,' in a video shot by the officer that was obtained by Minnesota outlet Alpha News. Her wife, Rebecca Good, 40, could be heard urging the agent to 'show his face' as she asks him, 'You want to come at us?' 'You want to come at us?...

911 heard MULTIPLE DEATH THREATS directed at me by a mob, MPD pretended for 20 MINUTES that they were responding Then they told me I was on my own, and HUNG UP This city needs to be taken under FEDERAL CONTROL After about two minutes on scene, my security began wanting to bring me out of there due to the immediate threats of violence. I tried to shorten this video as much as possible but it’s tough given all the BS that unfolded. As soon as I dialed 911, one of the leftist screamed “Minneapolis Police are on OUR side!”...

(NewsNation) — Word in Los Angeles is that former VP Kamala Harris and her hubby, legal eagle Doug Emhoff, are done with Brentwood. A well-placed source in LA told me the two have dropped $10 million on a house in Malibu, near Zuma Beach. ”He bills $2,000 an hour (as a lawyer), and she has a best-selling book and is making a lot of money for speaking engagements,” my source said. “They can afford it.”

Journalist and podcast host Kara Swisher recounted Monday how Vice President Kamala Harris scolded her in front of an audience over a question about Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) RFK Jr. that she previously laughed about backstage when the journalist brought it up. "I just had an experience with Kamala Harris where we were joking about something backstage about Robert Kennedy Jr., circumcision and autism — the link he was making, a link which is not there. And it was so weird. It was like, ‘That’s so f------ strange.’ And then when I got on stage and mentioned it...

The same party that brought you the “Maryland Dad” narrative for Kilmar Abrego Garcia now wants to sell you the narrative of the innocent “Minnesota Mom" for Renee Nicole Good. Good is not a MS-13 gang member or a human trafficker like Abrego Garcia, but she’s not the scared and confused mom who just happened to find herself caught up in an ICE operation that she didn't understand and panicked. According to a new report, she was “an anti-ICE ‘warrior’ and was part of a group of activists who worked to ‘document and resist’ the federal immigration crackdown in Minnesota.”(snip)...

President Donald Trump ordered the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, toppling a brutal totalitarian regime. But he's only getting started. The Babylon Bee consulted with experts at the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DMV to compile the following list of who Trump is planning to arrest next: Tim Walz: He just declared war on the federal government, which is more than Maduro ever did. Kathleen Kennedy: It's time for her oppressive rule over Lucasfilm to end. Travis Kelce: It may be the only way to save him from Taylor Swift. Ariana Grande: At least as a prisoner, she'll be forced...

At about 2:30 a.m., a shelter dog named Dawson escaped from his gated enclosure and then used his teeth to open the front door of the animal shelter in West Virginia, slipping quietly into the night. When staff at Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Shelter arrived at about 5 a.m. on Jan. 4, they were puzzled to find the front door unlocked.

A bloodied, blade-wielding patient at Brooklyn Methodist Hospital was shot and killed by cops Thursday night after he barricaded himself in a room with an elderly patient and a staffer — sending the Park Slope medical center into lockdown, according to cops. Police rushed to the hospital after receiving multiple 911 calls just before 5:30 p.m. about a man who barricaded himself inside an eighth-floor hospital room with an elderly patient and a member of the hospital security staff, Charles Minch, Assistant Chief and Commanding Officer of patrol borough Brooklyn South, said at a press conference late Thursday. The madman...

The MTA has hit the $1.5 billion jackpot, thanks to the state collecting massive fees dedicated to mass transit from each from three bidders awarded casino licenses. Each of the three winning bidders are required to pony up a $500 million upfront license fee for the privilege to operate a casino.Under state law, the money is redirected to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to fund the operations of its subway and buses and commuter rail lines. Mets owner Steve Cohen, in tandem with gaming partner Hard Rock, have delivered the $500 million fee to operate a “Metropolitan Park” casino complex near...

CBS 17’s Greg Funderburg opened his report with the voice of grief, not politics. Paige Briggs told the station her family has been “sad,” and that there are “constant memories” of their dog all through the house. Funderburg’s story centered on one fact that hit the family like a second loss: the Wake County deputy involved in the shooting is returning to work after the sheriff’s office finished its internal review....... Funderburg reported that Paige Briggs was out of town for work when the incident happened. Her husband and their children had left home like normal, and hours later, the...

The Somali-dominated Democratic political machine in Minnesota successfully silenced hundreds of government experts who tracked the huge flow of taxpayer funds through Somali-run businesses, a top Minnesota Republican told a House hearing on Wednesday. Up to 1,000 government auditors, accountants, and program managers were silenced by Democratic threats, Minnesota House Rep. Marion Rarick told a House hearing: The most severe ones was that they would be fired with cause so they couldn’t have unemployment insurance, that they would be blacklisted from all state agencies… [including] Hennepin County, Ramsey County. As you know, those are Democrat-run. Many government experts, non-government professionals,...

Could Minnesota break away from the United States due to a violent overthrow of the state government?

Yesterday, several videos went viral of Renee Nicole Macklin Good blocking ICE from driving down a neighborhood street in Minneapolis with a vehicle during an ICE raid. In one of the videos, several ICE agents are seen approaching the vehicle where Good was sitting in the driver’s seat. Her Honda SUV was parked perpendicular to traffic. Two ICE agents approach the window of the vehicle and demand that she move. She backs up, repositions her tires so she is aiming directly at the ICE agent standing to her right, and points her vehicle at the ICE agent in front of...

A medical situation with an un-named crew member caused NASA to make the change...The agency said that it would not disclose the crew member's name or specific condition due to medical privacy.

A GoFundMe campaign to raise money for the wife and son of Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was fatally shot while trying to mow down an ICE agent, has raised nearly $600,000 in less than a day. Good was shot on Wednesday during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, in which she was using her vehicle to impede the operation throughout the day. The situation turned deadly when she began to accelerate her vehicle into an officer, who fired in what appears to be a clear-cut case of self-defense. The fundraiser, organized by Mattie Weiss, is titled “Support for Renee...

Florida’s Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd gave his opinion on the Minneapolis ICE shooting, saying, “If you do felonious assaults with two-ton weapons, expect to be shot.” Judd posted his take on the incident in which an ICE agent shot and killed a woman who allegedly drove her vehicle into him. He opened his comments by saying, “You have to be accountable for your conduct, and that starts with the mayor. Did you hear his filthy talk? Did you hear his filthy, uninformed talk yesterday?” Breitbart News reported that Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) responded to the ICE-involved shooting by...

Five Senate Republicans joined with Democratic lawmakers in a surprise rebuke of President Donald Trump Thursday, voting to advance legislation that would force the commander in chief to seek Congress’ OK before taking any additional military action in Venezuela. Trump attacked the lawmakers in a Truth Social post after the procedural vote, saying they “should never be elected to office again” and that the measure they supported “greatly hampers American Self Defense and National Security.” Here’s a closer look at each of the GOP lawmakers and how they explained their votes: Rand Paul of Kentucky: Paul was a co-sponsor of...
