ISRAEL’S Bold Return: Troops Reclaim MT Hermon Peak After 50 Years
— Israeli troops have returned to the peak of Mount Hermon for the first time since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. This strategic mountain, the highest in the region, has long been important for both Israel and Syria. During that war, Syrian forces captured an Israeli base on its slopes but were eventually pushed back by Israeli paratroopers.
In a fierce battle from October 21 to 22, 1973, Israeli forces took control of both their own and Syrian positions on Mount Hermon. Paratroopers landed at the peak and fought downward while another force ascended, trapping Syrian troops. However, Israel later returned control of Syria’s base at the peak as part of a post-war agreement to reduce tensions between the two nations.
Today, a memorial stands on Mount Hermon’s slopes honoring Golani brigade soldiers who fell during that conflict. The return to this historic site underscores ongoing regional tensions and highlights Israel’s commitment to securing its borders against potential threats from neighboring countries like Syria.
CEO MURDER Sparks Fear: Corporate America on High Alert
— The shocking murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has left corporate America in fear. The gunman, still unidentified, likely fled New York City by bus shortly after the ambush. Police are investigating potential motives, including whether the shooter was a disgruntled employee or client.
Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny stated that investigators are working tirelessly to track down the suspect. Video evidence shows the gunman fleeing on a bicycle into Central Park before taking a taxi to a bus terminal. This terminal offers routes to several major cities, complicating efforts to pinpoint his location.
The bold nature of this crime has raised concerns about safety among top executives nationwide. As police continue their search, corporate leaders are urged to review security measures and stay vigilant in these uncertain times.
UNITEDHEALTHCARE CEO Shot Dead: Chilling Details Emerge
— UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was killed in a shocking ambush on a Manhattan sidewalk. The masked gunman used bullets marked with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose.” This attack happened as Thompson was heading to an investor conference at a nearby Hilton hotel.
Law enforcement officials have not publicly disclosed details of the investigation, citing its ongoing nature. An anonymous source shared information about the ammunition used in the attack. This incident has raised concerns about security for corporate leaders in high-profile positions.
Thompson, 50, led one of America’s largest health insurance companies and was well-known in the industry. His death has sent shockwaves through both corporate and public sectors. Authorities are working tirelessly to find those responsible for this heinous crime.
2024’s MOST MISPRONOUNCED Names Revealed: A Surprising List
— Vice President Kamala Harris and pop star Chappell Roan topped the list of most mispronounced names in 2024. Released by Babbel and The Captioning Group, this list highlights common pronunciation errors made by news anchors and politicians. It serves as a look back at the year’s most talked-about topics and figures.
Chappell Roan, known for her hit “Good Luck, Babe!” and six Grammy nominations, often has her name mispronounced as SHA-pel ROW-an instead of CHAP-uhl ROHN. During Kamala Harris’s unsuccessful presidential run this year, her great-nieces clarified that her first name is pronounced COM-a-la at the Democratic National Convention.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also made the list due to ongoing confusion over his last name’s pronunciation. His campaign previously used “Boot-Edge-Edge” on posters to help people during his 2020 presidential bid.
Even dog breeds like Dutch Kooikerhondje entered American vocabulary this year thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s pet Decoy, who became a fan favorite at Dodgers games. The breed is pronounced COY-ker-HUND-che but often leaves people puzzled when they try to say it correctly.
JORDANIAN "TERRORIST" Captured: Border Security Fears Grow
— Federal authorities have identified Mohammed Hasan Abdellatif Albana, a Jordanian migrant, as a “known or suspected terrorist.” ICE Enforcement Removal Operations in Seattle reported his capture near Lynden, Washington. How he entered the U.S. is still unclear.
Albana was deported back to Jordan on November 15 after immigration proceedings. ERO Seattle stressed their commitment to removing noncitizens who threaten national security. “Our officers perform these removals dutifully,” stated ERO Seattle Field Office Director Drew H. Bostock.
Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol agents have intercepted 300 migrants on the terror watchlist at both northern and southern borders, according to Customs and Border Patrol data. This raises concerns about border security and national safety amid increasing migration challenges.
TRUMP’S Immigration Plan: Schools Gripped by Fear
— Rumors of immigration raids during Donald Trump’s presidency caused panic in Oregon schools. Although unfounded, these rumors led to students avoiding classes out of fear. School staff had to reassure and encourage students to return.
Educators nationwide are preparing for potential disruptions as Trump pledges to deport millions of illegal immigrants. Even discussing such policies can harm immigrant children’s education, experts warn. UCLA’s Hiroshi Motomura stated that threats of mass deportation hinder societal functioning and educational access for children.
Fear has already gripped many communities, with children attending school under a cloud of anxiety. Almudena Abeyta, superintendent in Chelsea, Massachusetts, noted that immigrant students are worried about deportation risks. This concern is prevalent among Central American and Haitian families settling in the area.
BELOVED PETS Seized: New York Faces Outrage Over Squirrel and Raccoon
— Mark Longo and Daniela Bittner are suing New York State after authorities seized their pet squirrel, Peanut, and raccoon, Fred. The Department of Environmental Conservation raided their Pine City home on October 30, citing rabies concerns. The couple accuses the state of government overreach and rights violations.
Authorities euthanized Peanut and Fred to test for rabies, despite allegedly knowing the animals were healthy. Longo and Bittner claim the tests were “unfounded” and “unjustified.” They argue that officials invaded their privacy during the raid.
Peanut was a social media sensation with over 532,000 Instagram followers before his seizure. His popularity has drawn attention to this legal battle against New York State’s actions. The case highlights concerns about government intervention in private animal ownership.
The state justified its actions by stating an agent was bitten during the raid, necessitating rabies testing. However, Longo and Bittner maintain that this reasoning is flawed given prior knowledge of the animals’ health status.
HEARTBREAKING Plea: FAMILIES of American Hostages Demand Action from US and Israel
— The families of American hostages held by Hamas for nearly 420 days are pleading with U.S. and Israeli officials to act urgently. Seven Americans are among the 101 hostages in Gaza, leaving their families facing another Thanksgiving with empty seats at the table. Orna Neutra, mother of hostage Omer Neutra, expressed frustration over the lack of urgency in securing their release.
Orna emphasized that while security issues involving Hezbollah and Iran have been addressed, freeing the hostages should be a top priority for Israel. She criticized the slow progress and urged that everything possible be done to bring them home safely. The Neutras participated in an event by the Israeli-American Council featuring artworks dedicated to victims of the October 7 attack by Hamas.
Families have begun questioning Prime Minister Netanyahu’s strategy regarding hostage negotiations amid calls for a cease-fire with Hamas. They demand more decisive action as negotiations appear to falter, pushing both U.S. and Israeli leaders for a “Plan B.” The pressure on Netanyahu is growing both domestically and internationally to secure these hostages’ release promptly.;
TRAGIC STABBING Spree at London Market Shocks Community
— A stabbing spree at East Street Market in south London left one dead and two injured on Sunday morning. Police arrested a man in his 60s at the scene. While they have not shared details about the suspect or his motives, they do not believe it is terror-related, hinting that mental health issues might be involved.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the attacker randomly targeted people. An unnamed fabric seller said, “I just saw a bloke running through the market stabbing people willy-nilly.” The attack happened around 10:30 am when the market was getting busy.
The witness immediately called police after seeing two men stabbed, noting one appeared severely injured. Emergency services quickly arrived but sadly, one victim died from injuries despite their efforts.
The investigation continues as authorities work to understand what led to this tragic event and ensure community safety moving forward.
WILDFIRES DEVASTATE Coasts: Communities on Edge as Flames Spread
— Firefighters are battling wildfires on both U.S. coasts, with significant damage in New York, New Jersey, and Southern California. In Ventura County, California, the Mountain Fire has destroyed over 130 structures and forced thousands to evacuate. The fire is 31% contained but still threatens homes due to strong Santa Ana winds.
In New York and New Jersey, a wildfire claimed the life of Dariel Vasquez, an 18-year-old parks employee. He died when a tree fell on him while fighting a brush fire in Sterling Forest near Greenwood Lake. The Jennings Creek Wildfire in New Jersey threatens 25 structures and is only 10% contained as of Sunday night.
Authorities have issued evacuation warnings and road closures in affected areas for public safety. Some residents have been allowed back home but are advised to remain cautious of hazards like live power lines and debris.
Investigations into the causes of these fires are ongoing as communities brace for further developments. Residents remain vigilant amid uncertain conditions while firefighters work tirelessly to control the blazes threatening their homes and lives.
UK STABBING HORROR: Terror Charges Shock Nation
— The Merseyside police in England have admitted they are “restricted” from sharing details about the Southport attack in July, which killed three young girls. Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, faces terror-related charges alongside murder and attempted murder charges. Authorities found ricin and al Qaeda training materials at his property.
Rudakubana allegedly carried out a stabbing spree on July 29 during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, killing Alice Dasilva Aguiar, Elsie Dot Stancombe, and Bebe King. Despite finding terror-related materials, police have not declared the incident as terrorism due to an undetermined motive.
The Crown Prosecution Service has guided the police on public statements to protect court proceedings’ integrity. This has sparked criticism over perceived secrecy by authorities following the Southport attack north of Liverpool.
Toby Young from the Free Speech Union suggested that withholding information aims to avoid prejudicing Rudakubana’s trial. The motive is expected to be a significant issue during legal proceedings.
ALABAMA Fights BACK: Undercover Heroes Take on Fentanyl Crisis
— A small city in Alabama is fighting back against a surge in drug activity, particularly involving FENTANYL. Local police officers, many of whom grew up in the community, are determined to reclaim their town from this crisis. Lou Valoze, a retired ATF agent, emphasized the personal stakes for these officers as they engage in undercover work to combat illegal drugs and trafficking.
Valoze is featured in a new Investigation Discovery series titled “Operation Undercover,” which showcases real-life police operations aimed at safeguarding communities nationwide. The show provides exclusive footage of stings targeting drug suppliers and traffickers. The first episode highlights Oxford, Alabama’s battle against fentanyl smuggling along Highway 20.
Fentanyl has become the primary drug of choice for smugglers due to its potency — 50 times stronger than heroin. This alarming trend has prompted intensified law enforcement efforts to dismantle trafficking networks and protect local residents from its devastating impact.
REPUBLICANS TRIUMPH: KEY Pennsylvania Seat Flipped
— Rob Bresnahan flipped Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, unseating Democrat Matt Cartwright, who held the seat since 2013. The race was tight, with Bresnahan winning by about 7,000 votes. A bomb threat in Luzerne County added to the election night tension.
Bresnahan credited his grassroots campaign for the win. “We shook every hand,” he said, showing his commitment to engaging voters directly instead of relying on media ads. His team logged over 50,000 miles on their pickup truck during the campaign.
Host Mike Slater highlighted this win’s importance in Scranton, a traditionally Democratic area linked with President Joe Biden. This victory aids Republican efforts to keep control of the House amid ongoing battles nationwide.
Bresnahan had marked this race as vital for securing a Republican majority in the House. He noted that capturing Pennsylvania’s 8th District was crucial for GOP success and expressed satisfaction with reaching that goal through dedicated campaigning efforts.
WILDFIRE CHAOS: Thousands Flee as California Inferno Spreads
— A fast-moving WILDFIRE near Camarillo, California, has destroyed dozens of homes and forced over 10,000 residents to evacuate. Heavy winds fueled the Mountain Fire’s rapid spread from less than half a square mile to over 22 square miles in just hours. The fire remained at 0% containment late Wednesday, according to the Ventura County Fire Department.
Governor Gavin Newsom confirmed evacuation orders for thousands as the fire threatened 3,500 structures in suburban and agricultural areas. The National Weather Service issued a red flag warning until Thursday evening due to high fire danger conditions. Winds are expected to decrease by Thursday night, offering some hope for containment efforts.
Power outages affected over 30,000 customers statewide early Thursday morning amid Santa Ana winds notorious for spreading fires quickly. Flames consumed homes while firefighters worked tirelessly with ground crews and helicopters throughout the night. Thick smoke blanketed neighborhoods and limited visibility for both evacuees and emergency responders battling this devastating blaze.
RUSSIA’S Dangerous Plot: Planes to US and Canada at Risk
— Western security officials suspect Russia is plotting to plant EXPLOSIVES on planes bound for the United States and Canada. Two incendiary devices ignited at DHL logistics hubs in Germany and England, triggering a multinational investigation. Intelligence agencies found electric massagers with flammable substances were used as a “test run” for Russian sabotage efforts.
Poland’s National Prosecutor’s Office arrested four suspects linked to the DHL hub fires, charging them with “sabotage or terrorist operations.” The suspects allegedly tested parcel transfer channels intended for North America. Authorities have not disclosed their identities or nationalities.
Pawel Szota, head of Poland’s foreign-intelligence agency, attributed the plot to Russian spies. He warned that any attack would mark a “major escalation” of Russia’s sabotage against Western nations. This revelation underscores rising tensions between Russia and Western powers amid ongoing geopolitical conflicts.
TRUMP’S Shocking Victory: Pennsylvania WIN Secures Presidency
— Fox News declared Donald TRUMP the winner of Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning, securing his victory in the presidential race. Trump delivered a victory speech at Mar-a-Lago around 2:30 a.m. ET.
NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor reported that aides to Kamala Harris acknowledged her loss, despite no official concession from Harris herself. Her team discussed future cooperation with the Trump administration.
The Associated Press, CNN, and MSNBC confirmed Trump’s victory later in the morning, around 6 a.m. ET. Meanwhile, Harris left her election night event at Howard University without making any public remarks or conceding to Trump.
TRUMP’S Triumph: Disillusioned Voters Reject Harris-Biden Agenda
— Former President Donald Trump has made a comeback to the White House, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s nearly four-year term. Many voters, unhappy with America’s path, embraced Trump’s bold approach. AP VoteCast showed about 3 in 10 voters wanted a complete government overhaul.
Economic concerns were key in Trump’s victory, overshadowing issues like democracy and abortion protections favored by Harris’ supporters. Voters worried about the economy supported stronger immigration enforcement and believed Trump was better suited to tackle economic challenges. This sentiment was strong in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Even though he won the electoral college, some voters had reservations about Trump’s potential use of power. A notable number expressed concern over possible authoritarianism under his leadership. Yet more than 1 in 10 concerned voters still backed him despite these fears.
Inflation anxiety was a major concern nationwide as families felt their financial situations worsening since the last election cycle. The rising cost of living remained an urgent issue for many Americans struggling with higher prices on essentials like groceries and housing costs. These economic pressures greatly boosted Trump’s appeal among disenchanted voters seeking change.
ELECTION SHOCKER: Harris vs Trump Reveals Deep National Split
— Voters for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showed starkly different priorities in Tuesday’s presidential election. This reflects a broader national divide on key issues facing the United States.
AP VoteCast surveyed over 115,000 voters nationwide, revealing that Harris supporters were primarily motivated by concerns about the fate of democracy. Her campaign’s messaging, labeling Trump as a fascist, seemed to resonate with her base.
Conversely, Trump’s supporters focused on immigration and inflation as their main concerns. Trump has consistently promised that tariffs would revive factory jobs and increased domestic oil production would lower prices across the economy.
TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him
— CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, Anthony Salvanto, highlighted Donald Trump’s rising support among Hispanic neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Despite Trump’s past rhetoric, many Hispanics feel he isn’t targeting them negatively. This perception is shifting some Latino voters toward Trump.
A poll revealed that two-thirds of surveyed Latinos believe Trump wasn’t referring to them when discussing immigrants. Additionally, half of foreign-born Latinos shared this sentiment. These findings suggest a growing acceptance of Trump among Hispanic communities.
While Latinos predominantly lean Democrat, Trump’s messaging on the economy resonates with many in this demographic. His approach appears to offer a sense of belonging similar to that extended to white voters. This strategy could be pivotal for his future campaigns as he continues to engage with diverse voter groups.
PRISON SCANDAL Shocks West Virginia: Female Inmates at Risk
— A troubling incident at a West Virginia work release center highlights the growing issue of sexual misconduct in prisons. April Youst, an incarcerated woman, accused correctional officer James Widen of inappropriate behavior during a late-night encounter in the facility’s laundry room. She filed a police complaint eight years ago, but the case remains unresolved as it slowly moves through the court system.
Widen has pleaded not guilty to the charges and claims he was set up, maintaining his innocence throughout the ordeal. Despite his denial, Youst’s allegations point to a broader trend affecting female prisoners nationwide. Reports of sexual violence against women by correctional staff have surged recently, raising concerns about accountability and justice within prison systems.
Female inmates are often vulnerable targets for such misconduct due to their increasing numbers behind bars for nonviolent offenses, many related to drugs. Unfortunately, accusers frequently face retaliation while those accused often escape significant consequences. This pattern underscores systemic issues that demand urgent attention from authorities and policymakers alike.
SUPREME COURT Decision Shocks Virginia Voters: A WIN For Election Integrity
— The SUPREME COURT’s conservative majority has backed Virginia’s voter registration purge. The state argues this move targets non-citizens trying to vote. This decision supports Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Republican goals, aiming to safeguard election integrity.
A Virginian affected by the purge called it “a very bad October surprise.” Despite living in Virginia her whole life, her registration was canceled. The court did not explain its ruling, which is typical in emergency appeals.
The three liberal justices dissented, showing ongoing tensions over voting rights and election integrity in America. Republicans believe such actions are crucial to prevent voter fraud and ensure fair elections.
SUPREME COURT Decision Sparks Fury: Virginia Voter Purge Backed
— The Supreme Court’s conservative majority upheld Virginia’s voter registration purge on Wednesday. The state argues this action prevents non-citizens from voting. This decision aligns with Virginia’s Republican administration under Governor Glenn Youngkin.
A Virginian affected by the purge criticized it as “a very bad October surprise,” despite living in the state her entire life. The court’s ruling came over the dissent of its three liberal justices, highlighting a clear ideological divide.
The Supreme Court did not provide an explanation for its decision, which is common in emergency appeals. This move underscores ongoing debates about voter registration and election integrity across the nation.
US STRIKES on ISIS in Syria: A Powerful Blow to Terrorism
— U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a series of successful strikes on ISIS locations in Syria, eliminating up to 35 terrorists. The operation targeted multiple camps and took out several senior ISIS leaders, with no civilian casualties reported.
CENTCOM stated that these airstrikes will disrupt ISIS’s ability to plan and execute attacks against civilians, the U.S., allies, and partners in the region. The command emphasized its commitment to degrading ISIS’s operational capabilities alongside regional allies to ensure the group’s defeat.
This announcement follows an incident in Iraq where two U.S. service members were injured during an operation that killed at least seven ISIS operatives. Both service members are reportedly in stable condition as CENTCOM continues its efforts against terrorism in the Middle East.
HOLLYWOOD’S Secret Political Agenda: Julia Roberts Backs Kamala Harris
— Julia Roberts stars in a new ad urging voters to support Kamala Harris, despite her Trump-supporting husband’s objections. The ad hints at secrecy in voting, with Roberts saying, “Remember, what happens in the booth stays in the booth.” This fits with Roberts’ active role in political events backing Democratic candidates.
Roberts attended a Hollywood fundraiser for Joe Biden where attendees like George Clooney raised concerns about Biden’s cognitive health. It’s unclear if Roberts noticed or ignored these issues during the event. Her involvement shows Hollywood’s sway over political narratives and their effect on public views.
In a chat with Oprah Winfrey and Kamala Harris, Roberts accidentally admitted that foreign opinions on U.S. leadership are negative under Biden and Harris. She noted that international friends express worry over America’s current state, hinting at global doubts about U.S. governance.
Roberts continues her advocacy by campaigning for Kamala Harris alongside Stacey Abrams in Georgia, even though polls show Donald Trump leading Harris by four points according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. This suggests a tough road for Democrats as they face strong Republican challenges before upcoming elections.
NASHVILLE TRAIL Horror: Witness Shares Chilling Encounter With Suspected Killer
— A woman who was on the Nashville trail when Alyssa Lokits was tragically killed spoke with Fox News Digital. Shannon Howard, a local resident, recounted her unsettling encounter with the alleged killer, Paul Park. She observed Park lingering and watching police work at the scene after the murder occurred.
Howard typically walks along the Mill Creek Greenway in the evenings but was delayed by 15 minutes on October 14, when Lokits lost her life. That day, she saw Lokits lying on the ground in a fetal position but didn’t realize she had been shot. Chaos ensued as people frantically called 911 for help.
Howard kept her distance from the chaos and eventually returned to her car as darkness fell. Her fiancé, now husband, preferred she avoid being alone on the trail at night for safety reasons.
INDIANAPOLIS TRAGEDY: Murder Suspect Arrested After Shocking Incident
— Indianapolis police arrested Felipe Maguellal, 33, for murder after he allegedly drove over and killed Perry Banks outside a bar. This incident happened just two days after Maguellal was released from jail. Detectives from the Violent Crimes Unit caught him following the Oct. 19 homicide at Checkered Flag Tavern.
Witnesses said Banks stepped in to stop an argument between strangers before being hit by Maguellal’s SUV. Police believe Maguellal intentionally drove into a crowd, aiming at Banks who was trying to calm things down.
Officer Tommy Thompson of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department issued a warning to potential criminals, stating, “I hope any criminal out there... thinks twice because the IMPD won’t stop.” The department is committed to seeking justice and ensuring public safety.
HISPANIC Voters TURN to Trump: Discontent with Biden’s Policies
— A recent poll from The New York Times shows 35% of Hispanic voters feel Donald Trump’s policies helped them, compared to just 22% for President Biden. This suggests a preference for Trump’s approach over the current administration. The data raises questions about President Biden’s absence from campaign trails alongside Vice President Harris.
Munoz emphasized growth and improvement in key economic areas under Vice President Harris’s vision, claiming it resonates with Latino voters. However, he acknowledged the challenge of effectively reaching these communities through traditional polling methods. Munoz argued that Latino voters seek candidates who promise change rather than maintaining the status quo associated with Trump.
Burman highlighted that only 20% of Hispanic voters rate the economy as excellent or good, while 80% describe it as fair or poor — indicating dissatisfaction with current economic conditions. Despite this, Munoz remained optimistic about influencing voter perception in the remaining days before elections. He stressed focusing on ground-level engagement over relying solely on polling numbers to sway opinions among Hispanic constituents.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S Secretive Move: Illegal Immigrants Relocated OUT Of California
— The FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is moving illegal immigrants from California’s southern border to other states. San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond says this strategy avoids street releases, which could harm optics before the November election. Desmond noted that about 155,000 migrants were released in San Diego from September 2023 through June.
Migrants used to be dropped off at the Iris Avenue train station in San Diego. Now, three buses take them daily to Yuma, Arizona. Additionally, three to four flights each week move illegal immigrants from San Diego to McAllen, Texas, where facilities can handle more people.
Desmond criticized the federal government’s actions as an attempt to hide the situation rather than tackle it directly by resuming street releases. He believes this decision is politically motivated and likely influenced by upcoming elections. Fox News Digital reached out for comments from Border Patrol but has not received a response yet.
Before these relocations began, mass migrant releases overwhelmed San Diego’s services and resources. Some migrants also arrive by boat along California’s coastlines, adding further strain on local infrastructure and resources.
COLD-BLOODED Killer Still Roams Free: 16 Years of Heartbreak in Tinley Park
— On February 2, 2008, a man pretending to be a delivery driver entered a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. Armed with a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, he forced six women into a back room. After tying their hands with duct tape and assaulting one woman, he shot all six victims.
Amazingly, one woman survived and gave police a description of the suspect. Despite thousands of leads over the past 16 years, authorities have yet to catch him. The suspect is described as a Black man between 25 and 35 years old at the time of the crime, standing just over six feet tall with corn-rowed hair and green beads on one braid.
Grainy surveillance footage showed two dark vehicles near the scene during the murders. However, it is unclear if either vehicle was used by the attacker. The tragic event claimed five lives: Jennifer Bishop, Carrie Chiuso, Rhoda McFarland, Sarah Szafranski, and Connie Woolfolk.
The Tinley Park Police continue to seek justice for these victims while urging anyone with information to come forward. This cold-blooded case remains unsolved despite extensive efforts by law enforcement agencies for more than a decade.
GERMANY FOILS Isis Plot: Arrest Sparks Security Alert
— German authorities have arrested a Libyan man suspected of planning an attack on the Israeli embassy in Berlin. The arrest happened in the Bernau suburb, stopping a potential terror act. The suspect intended to flee to Sankt Augustin and eventually leave Germany after carrying out the attack.
Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosor, praised German authorities for keeping the embassy safe. He emphasized that “Muslim anti-Semitism” fuels global terrorism and endangers embassy staff. Local Interior Minister Herbert Reul warned those threatening Jewish life in Germany: "We are on your trail!
This arrest follows a recent shooting by an 18-year-old Austrian citizen of Bosnian descent at the Israeli consulate in Munich. The attack also targeted a nearby museum dedicated to National Socialism documentation. These events highlight ongoing threats against Jewish institutions in Europe.
US DEMANDS TOUGH Sanctions on China for Fentanyl Crisis
— A group has filed a petition with the U.S. Trade Representative, urging action against China under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This section allows the U.S. to impose sanctions on countries that violate trade agreements or harm American commerce. Attorney Nazak Nikakhtar emphasized that sanctions are within legal rights and necessary to pressure China economically.
The opioid crisis cost the U.S. nearly $1.5 trillion in 2020, according to a House Joint Economic Committee report from September 2022. An investigation by Reuters revealed that Chinese companies openly sell fentanyl ingredients online and ship them easily to the U.S., contributing significantly to this crisis. These suppliers often send shipments to Mexican cartels, which then manufacture synthetic opioids like fentanyl, worsening the problem further.
In May 2023, the CDC reported that synthetic opioids caused over 81,000 American deaths in one year, mainly due to fentanyl overdoses. The ongoing crisis highlights an urgent need for effective measures against foreign suppliers fueling this epidemic affecting countless American families daily.;
HARRIS FACES Backlash: Losing Catholic Voters Could Be Her Downfall
— Vice President Kamala Harris is under fire for alienating Catholic voters. Alex Marlow argues that her recent actions are not only ineffective but also harmful to her political standing.
Marlow claims that Harris’s attempts to mock Catholics have backfired, costing her a key group of voters that President Biden once secured. He points to her Senate behavior, especially during Brett Kavanaugh’s hearings, as proof of her ongoing struggles.
In contrast, Marlow commends former President Trump for his strong public presence despite political disagreements. He suggests Harris’s strategies are failing while Trump’s appeal remains strong among conservatives.
VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat
— In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.
These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.
Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.
Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.
TRUMP And HARRIS Neck-And-Neck: What’s Behind the Poll Shocker?
— Recent polls show a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with both candidates nearly tied. Just last month, Harris was ahead in election and favorability ratings. Now, her lead is gone, sparking questions about why voters are changing their minds.
NBC’s Savannah Guthrie talked with analyst Steve Kornacki about this shift. He explained how Harris’s favorability ratings have reversed. Last month, she had a 48% positive rating compared to Trump’s steady numbers. Now her positive rating has fallen to 43%, while her negative rating jumped to 49%.
Kornacki noted that this change brings Harris’s ratings closer to Trump’s figures. He also mentioned an interesting twist about public views on Trump’s presidency. Recent polling shows that 44% of voters think Trump’s policies helped their families more than during his time in office.
US THAAD DEPLOYMENT to Israel Sparks Concerns Over Army Readiness
— The U.S. has sent a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery to Israel, along with 100 soldiers. This move, ordered by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and approved by President Joe Biden, puts extra pressure on the Army’s air defense forces. These forces are already stretched thin due to global conflicts. The deployment raises concerns about the military’s ability to upgrade missile defense systems amid rising demands from Ukraine and tensions in the Middle East.
Army Secretary Christine Wormuth expressed worries over the high operational pace of air defense forces, calling them “the most stressed” part of the Army. She highlighted the need for careful consideration when planning future deployments but admitted that unstable global situations sometimes require quick action. The Pentagon stated it would take several days for both equipment and personnel to reach Israel from their current U.S.-based location.
The decision highlights ongoing tensions within the Defense Department about resource allocation for international conflicts and its effect on U.S. military readiness at home. Gen. Randy George, Army chief of staff, noted that U.S. Army air defense forces are in high demand worldwide, describing them as “our most deployed formation.” This situation raises questions about America’s ability to balance international commitments with national security needs effectively.;
HURRICANE MILTON’S Fury: Florida’s Heroic Rescue Efforts and Destruction
— More than 3 million Floridians are without power as Hurricane MILTON wreaks havoc across the state. The storm hit near Siesta Key as a Category 3 hurricane, leaving four dead in St. Lucie County due to tornadoes. Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed that over 48 people have been rescued so far, with more than 125 active rescue missions underway in 26 counties.
Milton has now moved off Florida’s east coast, downgraded to a Category 1 storm, but not before causing significant damage through destructive winds and flooding. The worst-hit areas include Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota counties. “The storm was significant,” DeSantis stated, emphasizing the widespread impact but noting it was not the worst-case scenario.
Tampa Bay faced severe weather conditions with up to 18 inches of rainfall reported in some areas and a construction crane collapsing into an office building housing the Tampa Bay Times headquarters. The roof of Tropicana Field was also damaged by strong winds. Sarasota County experienced a substantial storm surge between eight and ten feet high.
Water levels are expected to rise along northeast and west-central Florida rivers over the next day or so, potentially reaching flood stages according to forecasts. Despite the challenges posed by Hurricane Milton’s impact on infrastructure and communities, rescue efforts continue
HARRIS’S FUNDING Frenzy: Can Trump’s Campaign Catch UP?
— Vice President Kamala Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in campaign fundraising. On the day she announced her candidacy, Harris raised $25 million and reached $500 million within a month. This financial boost gives her a strong edge as the 2024 presidential race intensifies.
Trump’s campaign, however, had collected $309 million by the end of August. To close this gap, Republican super PACs are stepping up, spending over $80 million on TV ads nationwide in September alone. They’ve also set aside more than $100 million for advertising during the campaign’s final weeks.
Despite this fundraising difference, Republicans remain determined. They’re investing heavily in online, mail, and door-to-door campaigns to counter Harris’s financial lead. The race for the White House is becoming fiercely competitive as both sides strategically deploy their resources to win voters over.
HURRICANE MILTON’S Fury: Tampa Bay Braces for Historic Impact
— Hurricane Milton, though slightly weakened, still poses a major threat to the Tampa Bay area. With winds reaching 145 mph, it could deliver a once-in-a-century direct hit. The storm’s approach has prompted hurricane warnings along Florida’s west and east coasts.
The storm is expected to make landfall Wednesday night in the densely populated Tampa Bay region, home to over 3.3 million residents. Local authorities have ordered evacuations for vulnerable areas and mobile homes by Tuesday night. Governor Ron DeSantis reassured residents about fuel availability and advised them to evacuate only tens of miles if needed.
Despite warnings, some residents like Martin Oakes from Apollo Beach plan to stay put and face the storm head-on. “We got shutters up; the house is all ready,” Oakes said while waiting for gas in Riverview. This sentiment reflects a common resolve among locals preparing for Milton’s impact.
DOCKWORKERS STRIKE Halted: New Contract Brings Hope and Relief
— The International Longshoremen’s Association has paused its strike affecting East and Gulf coast ports. This break allows time to negotiate a new contract until January 15. The union will resume work once they reach a tentative wage agreement with the U.S. Maritime Alliance.
The proposed deal includes a wage increase from 50% to 62% over six years, pending union member approval. The strike began Tuesday due to disputes over pay and automation at 36 ports from Maine to Texas, threatening holiday supply chains but was eased by retailers’ early preparations.
President Joe Biden expressed optimism about the agreement’s potential stability, highlighting its importance for maintaining critical supplies during Hurricane Helene recovery efforts. He praised both parties for their patriotic actions in reopening the ports swiftly.
LIBERAL GROUP Targets Trump And Vance In Shocking Charges
— A liberal group backed by George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us has filed charges against Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. The Haitian Bridge Alliance claims the duo disrupted public services and harassed the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio.
The charges include making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing, and complicity. The group’s attorney stated that local prosecutors failed to act, prompting this rare move by private citizens in Ohio.
State law mandates a hearing before the affidavit can proceed, but none has been scheduled yet. Pro-Democratic media outlets have amplified these accusations while downplaying the impact of government-funded migration on American jobs and communities.
TRUMP Assassination Attempt SUSPECT Laughs in Court: Shocking Behavior Revealed
— Ryan W. Routh, accused of trying to assassinate former President Trump, appeared in court Monday. He was seen smiling and laughing with his defense lawyers. Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg stated that Routh’s behavior does not indicate criminal insanity. “He fled after all, tried to get away and escape,” Aronberg noted. Routh was arrested near Palm City, Florida on September 15, 2024. A U.S. Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel through a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Routh fled north on Interstate 95 toward his home in North Carolina. Aronberg highlighted the irony of Routh’s actions given his support for Ukraine against Russia. Despite understanding right from wrong in international conflicts, Routh allegedly attempted an evil act by targeting Trump. This undermines any potential insanity defense he might claim. Federal prosecutors have taken over the case as the investigation continues into the failed assassination plot against former President Trump.
DIDDY INDICTED: Music Mogul’s Dark Secrets Exposed
— Sean “Diddy” Combs faces serious charges of sexual crimes and abuse, according to an indictment unsealed Tuesday. The music mogul allegedly coerced and abused women for years, using threats and a network of aides to cover up his actions.
Combs is accused of engaging in physical violence and drugging victims for prolonged sexual performances called “Freak Offs.” The indictment also mentions a video-recorded attack on his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie.
Federal authorities arrested Combs in Manhattan after raiding his homes in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation. His lawyer stated that Combs will plead not guilty and is confident about fighting the charges.
The 54-year-old founder of Bad Boy Records is described as leading a criminal enterprise involved in sex trafficking, forced labor, drug offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. He allegedly used violence against women and enlisted staff to help conceal his crimes.
INFAMOUS French Serial Killer Charles Sobhraj WALKS Free
— Charles Sobhraj, the infamous French serial killer known for murdering at least a dozen Western tourists in Asia during the 1970s, is now free. He recently shared his story in a televised interview. “He likes to have the attention put on him,” said retired detective Jackie Malton.
Sobhraj, 80, is believed to have killed at least 20 people across Afghanistan, India, Thailand, Turkey, Nepal, Iran and Hong Kong. He earned the nickname “bikini killer” due to his ruthless methods and lack of empathy.
In 2004, Sobhraj was sentenced to life in prison in Nepal for killing American tourist Connie Jo Bronzich in 1975. A decade later, he was also found guilty of killing her Canadian companion Laurent Carrière.

Harris’s SHIFTING Fracking Stance ALARMS Conservatives
— Co-host John Roberts aired a clip of Bernie Sanders saying Kamala Harris is being pragmatic to win the election, despite her past views. Roberts then questioned if Harris would revert to opposing fracking if elected.
Philippe Reines responded by suggesting that Sanders’ comments reflect Harris’s current stance on fracking, even though she previously opposed it. He emphasized that candidates often change their positions based on electoral needs and context.
Reines believes Harris is aligning with President Biden’s record to gain support from undecided voters. He expressed confidence in this strategy as a winning approach for the election.
SUGAR DADDY Website TIP Leads to Murder Suspect Arrest
— Texas authorities tracked down a suspect in the murder of a 21-year-old nursing student after a tipster recognized him from his profile on a “Sugar Daddy” website.
Muna Pandey, a Nepalese nursing student at Houston Community College, was found dead with gunshot wounds in her Houston apartment on August 26. A neighbor reported hearing a “loud thump” from her apartment on August 24, the last day she was seen alive. An unknown male called the building manager to report the body before quickly hanging up.

CIA and MI6 Chiefs WARN: Global Threats Looming
— The heads of the CIA and MI6 have issued a stark warning about global threats. They highlighted the war in Ukraine, sabotage in Europe, and rising tensions with China. “We saw the war in Ukraine coming,” they stated, emphasizing their role in alerting the international community.
They are actively working to disrupt Russia’s sabotage campaigns across Europe and address escalating conflicts like the Israel-Gaza situation. Counterterrorism efforts against ISIS are also a priority. The intelligence chiefs stressed that global stability is under threat like never before since the Cold War.
China’s rise is identified as the main geopolitical challenge of this century, prompting both agencies to reorganize their priorities accordingly. Russian intelligence activities were described as reckless, with recent incidents of sabotage and arson attacks on infrastructure in Europe being attributed to Moscow’s covert operations.;
TEEN SHOOTER Kills Four in Georgia School Tragedy
— A 14-year-old boy opened fire at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, killing four and wounding nine. The victims include two students and two teachers.
The shooter, armed with an assault-style rifle, targeted students in a hallway after being denied re-entry to his algebra class. He has been charged as an adult.

TEENS’ SHOCKING Plea Deal in Las Vegas Beating Death
— Four Las Vegas teenagers pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal beating of their high school classmate. The plea deal keeps them from being tried as adults. The attack on 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. was captured on video and widely shared on social media.
The teens were initially charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy but will now face time in a juvenile detention center for an undetermined period. In Clark County, minors are released after completing rehabilitation programs rather than serving traditional jail sentences, according to Brigid Duffy of the district attorney’s office.
Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich called the plea deal “a very fair resolution.” However, Lewis’ mother, Mellisa Ready, disagreed strongly with the outcome, stating that there is no true punishment for her son’s murder and calling it “disgusting.”
