Case in point: UK police have confirmed that they are seeking information from the FBI on unverified claims published in recently released court documents related to so-called ‘pedophile ring parties’. The claims were made by a US woman, who alleged that these parties involved high-profile figures in the...

A Republican congresswoman took a trip to the US-Mexico border to expose the stockpiling of baby formula being sent to border facilities while American families continue to face empty shelves amid a nationwide shortage. Rep. Kat Cammack, of Florida, was accused of lying about the formula crisis after she shared photos she was sent by sources last week showing full shelves of baby formula and food at a processing center at the southern border. But now the congresswoman has visited and surveyed the facilities herself, finding not only an amass of formula, but other necessary infant supplies littered across the...

'I hate marijuana. Addiction is very real. Let's say I was abusing it, for sure. 'Fifteen to 25 joints a day, just blitzed all the time. That's a very long time.

Donald Trump has doubled down on his attacks on Rob Reiner after the Hollywood star and his wife were apparently murdered. The President appeared to blame Reiner and Michele's killings on the liberal director's 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' in a Monday post on Truth Social. Hollywood celebrities and Republicans pushed back on his statement, with some calling it 'disgusting and vile.' But the President seemed undeterred in his criticism of the late director. When pressed by a reporter in the Oval Office about his previous statement, he said: 'Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged...

Minnesota is still reeling from the biggest fraud scandal in its history. A sprawling, stunning, almost unbelievable heist of federal money intended to feed hungry children during the pandemic. And at the center of the storm sits Aimee Bock – former schoolteacher, mom-of-two, and the woman federal prosecutors branded the mastermind of a $300million meals-for-kids scam. Bock is already convicted. She's already behind bars. And she's facing a sentence that could lock her away for most of the rest of her life. But her lawyer, Kenneth Udoibok, says she is nothing more than a scapegoat – the fall-girl for a...

Dearborn, Michigan, was back in the national spotlight last month after a far-right protest spiraled into street clashes, a near-Quran burning, and the latest debate about religion, identity and political extremism in America's largest Muslim-majority city. The drama began when Jake Lang – a January 6 rioter, newly pardoned by Donald Trump, and now a long-shot Republican US Senate candidate in Florida – arrived in Dearborn with an entourage, cameras, and a self-styled 'anti-Sharia' crusade. He carried bacon in one hand and a Quran in the other, marching through the city center in combat gear and trolling locals, daring them...

Drivers have complained that their vehicles have suddenly locked up, lost power and refused to start, as owners and dealerships warn of a growing wave of failures that has left hundreds of vehicles stuck in place. The nationwide meltdown hit Porsche models built since 2013, which are all fitted with the brand's factory VTS satellite-security unit. The vehicles have been 'bricked' with their engines immobilised, due to connections with the satellite system being lost. Rolf dealership service director Yulia Trushkova said 'all models and all engine types' are impacted. The company does not rule out that the malfunction may have...

During a brief NBC News interview on Saturday, the president was asked about the Republican lawmaker's future after she abruptly announced she would resign from Congress in early 2026 following their public split. Trump admitted that 'it's not going to be easy for her' to claw her way back into politics, but said, 'I'd love to see it,' noting that for now, 'she's got to take some rest.' When pressed on whether the relationship between the...

American troops have stormed a Mexican beach setting off a diplomatic firestorm amid soaring tensions after Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country.

The US housing market is now the strongest buyer's market in records dating back more than a decade, but that doesn't mean they are biting. New Redfin data shows home sellers outnumbered buyers by 36.8 percent in October, with 528,769 more sellers than buyers nationwide. That imbalance is the highest since the years following the 2008 financial crisis, and it has flooded the market with listings and forced sellers to slash prices across much of the country. In theory, buyers should now have the upper hand: more homes to choose from, more room to negotiate, and far less competition. But...

MAGA has been left outraged over a pink, fair-isle patterned J.Crew sweater marketed towards men - claiming it is trying to 'feminize' them. The conversation was sparked on X (formerly Twitter) after Juanita Broaddrick - a former nurse who accused Bill Clinton of raping her in 1978, allegations that he has fiercely denied and was never charged with - posted about the sweater on the social media platform to her 1.9 million followers. The jumper, which retails for $168 on J.Crew's website and is described as a 'cold-weather classic,' is knit in a bubblegum-pink color, complete with pink, green and...

A vast trove of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendars and emails are being revealed today by DailyMail.com. The hundreds of pages in the files give an unprecedented insight into the late pedophile's extraordinary network of power and influence. Among the revelations is that Epstein appeared to know personal details about the marriage of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda – while magician David Blaine had numerous dinners with the financier.

The saga of now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s “fixer” Ghislaine Maxwell continues to grind on, generating headlines that the New York Post and the Daily Mail in the UK simply can’t resist. And let’s be honest… neither can many of the rest of us. The Daily Mail has uncovered (pun intended) yet another gem from the disgraced madam’s upcoming court proceedings. If the reports turn out to be accurate, the court now has videos of a very provocative, if not pornographic nature involving unnamed “individuals” who may have been with some of Epstein’s young victims. And until some names are attached...

Nigeria's Christians are being pushed to the brink of extinction - and could be wiped off the map within two generations without urgent international intervention. That's the chilling warning from Emeka Umeagbalasi, the outspoken founder of Nigeria's International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety). And he's not mincing his words. The veteran activist says a silent, systematic genocide has swept Africa's most populous nation for nearly two decades - a 'long-running, coordinated campaign' of killings, kidnappings and church burnings carried out mostly by Islamist militants and enabled by the Nigerian state itself. 'If you look at the...
