Here's today's roundup. | NASA Activates Earth Defense Group Over Possible Alien Comet |
A possible alien mothership is in our solar system.
A NASA-backed planetary defense group has reportedly begun efforts to pinpoint an unusual comet after it emitted an alloy not seen in nature. Scientists believe extraterrestrial technology could be fueling the cosmic anomaly and view it as a potential threat to Earth.
The object, Manhattan-sized comet 3I/ATLAS, is believed to be the International Asteroid Warning Network’s first target. The group is a worldwide coalition of organizations and space experts who collaborate to detect and monitor potentially hazardous asteroids. 3I/ATLAS has displayed a host of unusual characteristics, including emitting a plume that is unheard of in comets and performing a dramatic tail reversal. Its behavior could indicate that it was an alien probe sent to do recon on Earth, according to Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb. Read more.

Democrat Donor Gives Kamala "Profanity-Laced Rejection" |
Imagine being a Democrat megadonor, less than one year removed from pumping boatloads of cash into Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. You’d be justified to feel like you’d wasted your money; the former vice president’s blowout loss meant you got absolutely nothing in exchange for your generous donations.
Now, picture that, amid your frustration, you get a call from Kamala’s team asking for even more money. They want you to write her another fat check even though she proved herself incapable of winning a single swing state and hasn’t announced plans to run again in 2028. No one would blame you for blowing a gasket. One donor recently did precisely that.
A deep-pocketed Democrat sent the DNC a "profanity-laced rejection” to an invitation to an upcoming Harris fundraiser, The Wall Street Journal reported this week, snapping at the idea of shelling out more of their fortunes to the party that consistently loses to Donald Trump. Others said they didn’t want to give until Democrats produced substantive plans to win elections, according to the report.
The DNC reportedly has roughly $12 million in cash reserves. The RNC has $86 million. Read more.

European Union Agrees to Phase Out Russian Gas |
The West’s “Ukraine support” has been entirely insincere. The warring country's Western allies have paid Russia more for its hydrocarbons than they have given Ukraine in aid since the start of the conflict, according to reports like this one from the BBC. That means they’ve been funding Vladimir Putin’s war machine while lecturing the rest of us about the deep evil of the Kremlin leader. But they may soon reverse course.
European Union ministers approved plans to phase out Russian gas imports by the start of 2028 this week, bowing to Donald Trump amid criticism that they’ve funded both sides of the war. The strategy is to prohibit new Russian gas contracts starting in January and phase out long-term agreements within two years.
Russian gas has made up roughly 13% of EU imports in 2025, according to the Council of the EU. Read more. |
Trump Threatens to Defund Israel
|
America’s funding for Israel is not unconditional, according to Donald Trump.
The president said Thursday that America’s “special ally” will “lose all of its support from the United States” if it annexes the West Bank. The comment came in response to a Knesset bill proposing the border expansion despite the White House saying the move is not allowed. JD Vance slammed the legislation as a personal “insult” this week.
Imagine having the audacity of the Israeli lawmakers pushing for annexation. Israel relies on the largesse of the United States and its taxpayers, and yet the Israelis still defy the will of our president. That’s like a child dumping hot tar on Santa Claus because he didn’t think his Christmas presents were enough. The entitlement is too much to bear. Read more.

Miriam Adelson Wins Medal of Honor… in Israel |
Miriam Adelson has American citizenship, and she lives in the United States. But she cares far more about Israel. Donald Trump called her out for it this month.
The Israeli government rewarded the GOP megadonor for paying so many U.S. politicians to advance its cause on Thursday, awarding her the Israeli Medal of Honor. The medal is the country’s highest civilian recognition.
Adelson is definitely worthy of the prize. She and her late husband spent years using campaign contributions to morph Washington into an Israeli client state, funding politicians like Ted Cruz who use their American offices to advance a foreign agenda. If we were Benjamin Netanyahu, we would absolutely adore her. Read more.

Jay Jones’s Wife Donated to Group that Busts Murderers and Rapists Out of Jail |
Jay Jones wishing death upon his Republican colleague and his children showed that he’s a deeply troubled man. Who would marry someone like that? Allow us to introduce you to Mrs. Jones.
A 2020 tweet of the Virginia attorney general candidate’s wife, boasting about donating to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, resurfaced on Thursday. As BLM set America’s cities aflame, Mrs. Jones urged her followers to cough up cash to “suppor[t] protestors.” She wrote the message just months before marrying her bloodthirsty husband.
The Minnesota Freedom Fund used its donors’ money to help post bail for violent criminals like twice-convicted rapist Christopher Boswell, alleged child rapist Timothy Wayne Columbus, and accused road-rage murderer George Howard. If we were them, we’d be thrilled to see someone like Jones become his state’s attorney general. Read more.

Democrat Candidate Doesn’t Care if Kids Access Sexually Explicit Material |
You’d probably prefer your kids not to encounter pornography in their elementary school libraries. Virginia Lt. Gov. candidate Ghazala Hashmi does not feel the same way.
Video of Hashmi saying she doesn’t “really care” about young children stumbling upon sexually explicit material emerged on Thursday, showing her expressing ambivalence for legislation that would require libraries to place parental advisory labels on books containing X-rated content.
“We seem to focus on sexual explicit material,” Hashmi says in the 2023 video. “I don’t really care about that.”
She doesn’t care about the possibility of an eight-year-old wandering into a library looking for a book about Barney the Purple Dinosaur and instead finding a description of the mechanics of gay sex? Seriously? If that’s true, then what does she care about? Read more. |
NBA Stars Charged in Mafia-Backed Poker Scheme |
Law enforcement arrested a trio of NBA players and coaches on illegal gambling charges on Thursday, turning the league on its head in its season’s opening week. Portland head coach Chauncey Billups, Miami guard Terry Rozier, and former player Damon Jones are the accused conspirators.
Rozier’s alleged crimes are fairly straightforward. Police say he purposely performed poorly to aid a sports-betting conspiracy and committed fraud by betting based on nonpublic information about the league. It’s like insider trading, but in sports.
Billups’s wrongdoings were allegedly more complicated. He participated in an illegal poker operation tied to the mafia, according to his indictment, using his fame to lure victims into rigged card games and cheating them out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Charges in this scheme include wire fraud conspiracy, illegal gambling, money laundering, robbery, and extortion. The fraud is said to have included self-shuffling machines, eyeglasses that read pre-marked cards, and an X-ray table that reads cards face down. Members of the Bonanno, Gambino, and Genovese organized crime families were allegedly involved.
Police say Jones is tied to both Billups's and Rozier’s accused crimes. Read more. |
October 24, 1901: The first barrel ride down Niagara Falls. 63-year-old schoolteacher Annie Edson Taylor found herself craving fame and needing money following the death of her husband in the Civil War, and viewed hurling herself down America’s most renowned waterfalls as her most likely path to each. With the help of two assistants, the near-senior citizen strapped herself into a leather harness inside a custom wooden pickle barrel, connected to a tow boat in the Niagara River, and began her dangerous ride. She reached the shore shortly after surviving the fall but ultimately failed to achieve the fortune she desired. Over a dozen copycats went over the falls from 1901 to 1915, ten of whom survived. Among those who died was a man who took the plunge in a kayak and another who used a jet ski. Read more. |
