Dad ‘died of grief’ after daughter, 12, was raped and beheaded by migrant in France, her mom reveals The father of a 12-year-old girl “died of grief” after his daughter was kidnapped, raped, tortured and then beheaded in France by a sadistic Algerian migrant, the girl’s mother told a court. Lola Daviet’s body was found horrifically mutilated and partially decapitated in a suitcase after she was murdered in 2022 — in a case that shocked the nation and sparked protests over lax immigration enforcement. Dhabia Benkired, 27, a prostitute who overstayed her visa in France, was convicted of the killing.

A French court on Friday sentenced an Algerian woman to life imprisonment without parole for raping, torturing and murdering a girl in Paris, making her the first woman to receive this maximum sentence. Dahbia Benkired was handed an “irreducible life sentence” for killing 12-year-old Lola Daviet in the French capital in 2022, in a case that horrified the country and sparked anti-immigration fervour because the woman did not have the right to be in France. The sentence is the harshest under the French penal code. “We believed in justice and we got it,” said Lola’s mother, Delphine Daviet, following the...

On September 23rd, 2025, I published a video on YouTube titled ‘The Man Who Murdered Charlie Kirk’ reviewing all of the available public information regarding Tyler Robinson, his assassin, and Lance Twiggs - Tyler’s roommate and romantic partner. Shortly thereafter, I was contacted by someone familiar with Lance and Tyler. They provided an alleged firsthand account of what their relationship was like, how it developed, and some of the events that may have driven Tyler to do what he did. They have allowed me to publish this information, but wish to remain anonymous.

They Don't Support the Troops by Lisa De Pasquale Posted Jul 27, 2006 The constant mantra of the radical left is that while they don’t support the war, they do support the troops. Other than making hollow and flippant claims of support, the anti-war left has done little for the troops or their families. To the contrary, their actions show how little respect they have for the military. In a recent interview with CodePink’s Troops Home Fast cofounder Diane Wilson, she dismisses the troops by comparing their real sacrifices and efforts to CodePink’s faux fast, which includes liquids like...

The United States has informed the guarantor nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza.

On October 14, 2025, Missouri is set to execute Lance Shockley by lethal injection.

The jury found him guilty but deadlocked on the penalty—life or death. The trial judge sentenced him...

Sarah Hartsfield, the Texas woman accused of killing her most recent husband with a fatal dose of insulin two years ago, was convicted of murder Wednesday. The verdict came after about an hour of deliberations and seven days of testimony in a trial that focused almost as much on allegations from Hartsfield’s past as it did on the death of Joseph Hartsfield — her fifth husband — on Jan. 15, 2023. In her closing argument Wednesday, Chambers County Assistant District Attorney Mallory Vargas said Sarah Hartsfield believed she’d get away with her husband’s murder “because it’s what she’s always done.”
