Even Niazal's own lawyer Joshua Radcliffe called the phone footage 'genuinely horrific', adding: 'I have no doubt that if the general public were exposed to that, we would have disorder on our hands.' The asylum seekers were living in taxpayer-funded houses at the time of the attack, having arrived in the UK by small boats as unaccompanied children.

Here are a several things I would never do if I seriously believed my best friend in the world was brutally murdered as part of a conspiracy... 1. Reveal information from "inside sources" in such a way that would almost certainly get those sources killed if I really believed I was dealing with cold hearted murderers. 2. Slow roll details of my investigation to the public in such a way that would let the people I was investigating on to what I was looking for, where I was looking for it and who I was using inside their organization to...

Reporting live from Central America. The General Elections from 30 November gives dysfunction a bad name. Let me bring you up to date. My source is local Honduran television, before the signal was mysteriously cut, just now.

The current president Xiomara Castro is from the Libre Party and under the Honduran Constitution, cannot run...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has picked a controversial rapper who did seven years in state prison for armed robbery to advise him on the criminal justice system. Mysonne Linen, 49, a Bronx convict-turned-activist who was found guilty of two felony heists in the late 1990s, was appointed by the democratic socialist to sit on a “criminal legal system” committee for his transition team as he prepares for the move to City Hall next month. “This is a testament to our decades of work advocating on behalf of black and brown communities and our expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy and...

Synopsis of “Why I Think The J6 Fedsurrection Was Planned At This Secret Meeting In June 2020” This YouTube video, uploaded by independent journalist and commentator Darren Beattie (of Revolver News), runs approximately 25 minutes and presents a speculative but evidence-based theory that the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot—derisively termed the “J6 Fedsurrection” by the host—was not a spontaneous insurrection but a manufactured event orchestrated by federal intelligence agencies. Beattie argues that the groundwork was laid at a secretive June 2020 meeting involving key players from the military, intelligence community, and political operatives. The tone is investigative and urgent, blending...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offered advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in a video message Sunday — calling on illegal immigrants to “stand up” to the federal agents and “know your rights.” The democratic socialist positioned himself as the mayor of “more than 3 million immigrants” as he spoke following last weekend’s ICE raid in Chinatown, which was disrupted by protesters. “Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in a video posted on X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes...

Is not a denial of this a belief that of an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for life with profound intricate, elaborate complexity and extensive diversity can be all a result of purely natural processes, or some other explanation. Otherwise, how can a denial of a creator no[t] be a belief in an alternative explanation? In philosophy, yes: once the evidence on the table makes “God exists” vs. “no God / no creator” live options, denying a creator is itself a belief (a positive stance on how reality is), not a mere “absence” of belief. The...

Peter Schiff has challenged President Trump to a debate about the U.S. economy after the president verbally attacked him for speaking on the affordability crisis. Despite the growing concern among Americans regarding inflation, President Trump continues to claim that prices are falling and the economy is recovering. Financial commentator Peter Schiff publicly challenged President Donald Trump on Saturday after the president attacked him on Truth Social for appearing on Fox & Friends Weekend. The president’s attack on Schiff was in response to his discussing the affordability crisis facing Americans during his morning television appearance on December 6, 2025. Trump posted...

Socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani tapped a radical who idolizes cop-killer Assata Shakur to advise his administration on public schools, The Post has learned. Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari — the co-executive director for the Alliance for Quality Education, a far-left activist group once fronted by “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon — was selected last week for Mamdani’s transition committee for youth and education. In an interview with the website Lingua Franca, Shaakir-Ansari was asked if she could spend an afternoon with any woman past or present, who would it be, and what question would she ask her. The activist and mother...

The 30-year-old Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots is an autistic recluse and ‘computer nerd’ who has no party affiliation, his grandmother told the Daily Mail on Friday. Brian Cole confessed and told his FBI interrogators that he is a Trump supporter and holds anarchist views, MSNOW reported citing unnamed sources. But Loretta, his grandmother, said Cole has no party affiliation and never votes. Rather, he keeps to himself, living in his mother’s basement in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he’s been grieving the loss of his beloved pet...

An illegal immigrant from Somalia with a long rap sheet for fraud and apparent ties to Democratic politicians in Minnesota — including Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar — was arrested Friday as part of President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Abdul Dahir Ibrahim was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and is being held at the McCook ICE facility in Nebraska, dubbed the “Cornhusker Clink” by the Department of Homeland Security, records show. Ibrahim has an extensive criminal history and has had removal orders against him since 2004, according to Fox News. Prior to entering the US,...

A black man was acquitted of stabbing a white man in Oregon after he claimed the attack was self-defense because the victim called him a racial slur. Gary Edwards, 43, was charged with second-degree assault for stabbing a man in Portland near a light rail stop on July 8, KPTV reported. However, he was found not guilty of the crime on October 31 after the jury learned the victim was using racial slurs in the aftermath of the altercation.

A Brazilian Harvard Law School professor who pleaded guilty last month to illegally firing an air rifle outside a Boston-area synagogue — and told police he was “hunting rats” — has agreed to leave the US following his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week. Carlos Portugal Gouvea, 43, copped Nov. 13 to a single charge of illegal use of the air rifle in connection with the Oct. 2 incident outside of Brookline’s Temple Beth Zion, which took place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. The scholar was arrested by ICE Boston Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO)...

Many companies claim to be modern and fair, yet some old habits still survive surprisingly well. One employee found out just how quickly things can escalate when she questioned a task she’d been quietly assigned for months. Hello, Bright Side, I’m 27F, a project engineer. My boss kept asking me to take notes at meetings with clients. I didn’t mind at first, until I noticed I was the only one he asked. When I finally refused, he smirked and said, “Women are best at it.” I reported him to HR. The next day, I was heading to my desk when...

The US military sank another suspected drug vessel in the Pacific Ocean Thursday, marking the 22nd strike under the Trump administration’s Operation Southern Spear and the first since War Secretary Pete Hegseth was accused of ordering survivors of a boat bombing be killed. The latest lethal strike killed “four male narco-terrorists” traveling on a vessel operated by a “Designated Terrorist Organization” in international waters, according to US Southern Command. “Intelligence confirmed that the vessel was carrying illicit narcotics and transiting along a known narco-trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific,” US Southern Command said. The strike is the first in more...

The CNN anchor made the embarrassing gaffe during the opening segment on The Lead Thursday evening, as a surveillance photo of suspect Brian Cole Jr. flashed behind him. Moments later, CNN became the first outlet to publish a second photo of the alleged suspect, taken from his mother's Instagram account. It clearly shows that the 30-year-old is a black man.

Minnesota Democratic lawmakers, including the Attorney General, were handed over $53,000 in campaign contributions by fraudsters who ripped off taxpayer cash meant to feed children. AG Keith Ellison, his councilman son, mayor Jacob Frey, Representative Ilhan Omar and others received cash from the scammers who siphoned off some $250 million, largely through nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Many did so after meeting the crooks, raising questions about how much they knew. “I’m not here because I think it’s going to help my re-election,” Ellison said during an encounter with Somali business leaders, two of whom later became criminal defendants linked to...

I usually don’t throw up Vanities, but this one matters — because Congress absolutely reads Free Republic, and someone on the Hill needs to hear this plainly: Sen. Mark Warner’s “the uniformed military may help save us from this president” remark is not normal political rhetoric. It is not “oversight.” It is not “concern.” It is the exact kind of language members of Congress were censured — and even expelled — for in the years leading up to the Civil War. Warner is the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He knows the weight of his words. He knows civilian...
