An 18-year-old Maine man and two other teens, one in Chicago and another in Kentucky, conspired to attack a Chicago mosque with homemade explosives this month, new court documents reveal—until the FBI unraveled the plot. The teens, agents said, concocted a scheme to massacre worshippers at the Shia mosque in the name of ISIS. The recently unsealed federal filing alleges that Xavier Pelkey of Waterville and two teens, who were not named in court papers because they are juveniles, communicated through Instagram and other platforms to plot the attack.(Snip)However, it was foiled by federal investigators last month after a search of Pelkey's apartment turned up three

The long-promised project to extend the Second Ave. subway to Harlem will get $400 million in the annual budget President Biden is set to propose Monday, according to New York Democrats Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Adriano Espaillat. After years of delays, the money will go to engineering and construction for Q train stops up to 125th St., the pair said.(Snip)The funding allocation “means we’re out of the station and heading on the track,” the Senate Majority Leader told the Daily News on Sunday. “Once you have $400 million allocated, that’s enough to start construction, and it means all systems are go,” he said.
Oscar winners are almost seven times more likely to suffer from mental health and addiction issues than other people. Analysis by Paracelsus Recovery, a clinic that has treated dozens of celebrities, said ‘fame should come with a health warning’ after it emerged that two-thirds of actors who have won Academy Awards over the past 30 years experienced disorders. Of the 60 performers who won either the Best Actor or Best Actress gong since 1992, 41 have suffered from a mental health issue–with depression, anxiety and substance abuse the most common problems.(Snip)Figures show that ten per cent of the general population have a mental health issue,
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that the United States is not looking for 'regime change' in Moscow or anywhere else in the world after President Joe Biden said Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power.' Biden went directly after the Russian autocrat in an emotional speech on Saturday, warning if Putin's ambitions went unchecked it could lead to decades of war in Europe. Speaking to reporters in Jerusalem the next day, Blinken explained that his boss was likely referring to Putin's influence outside of his country—including Moscow's bloody and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine which has now spanned over a month. 'I think the president, the White House,
A women's rights group meeting to discuss single-sex spaces was protested by trans activists—leading to police being called.
Around 200 protestors holding up placards that read 'Some women have penises' and 'If you are transphobic—do one' gathered outside a venue in Manchester where Women's Place UK were holding their discussion. The group was hosting its annual conference to consider 'the importance and future of single-sex provision in policy and law'. But it is reported that the protestors stationed themselves outside the Mechanic Institute conference centre's door with a sound system. The protest was organised by the Manchester Trans Rise Up group, which described Women's Place as
A lawyer who ran for governor of Maine twice was arrested on child pornography charges Friday. Eliot Cutler, 75, faces four counts of possession of sexually explicit material of a minor under 12 after investigators found 10 files of children being exploited on his computer, according to The Portland Press Herald. Culter may face additional charges as cops continued to look through terabytes of data on devices seized from two of the former Independent candidate’s homes, the article said. Officials arrested Cutler at his farm in Brooklin even as the probe continued, prosecutors said. He was being held on $50,000 bail.(Snip)Cutler, a former member of President Jimmy Carter’s administration,
The Beau Biden Foundation for the Protection of Children raked in $3.9 million in 2020, but spent only a fraction of that on its purported mission to help kids, The Post has learned. The Delaware-based charity, which was started in honor of President Biden’s late son, got an infusion of $1.8 million from the Biden Foundation before that group shut down in 2020, according to the charities’ latest tax filings. The Biden Foundation was started by Joe Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, to champion “progress and prosperity for American families.” The Beau Biden charity also took in $225,000 from entities tied to a top political donor and bundler
Vladimir Putin is “a butcher,” President Biden said Saturday, after he made an emotional trip to visit Ukrainian refugees at Warsaw’s PGE Narodowy Stadium. “He’s a butcher,” Biden told a reporter who asked what he thought of Putin after speaking with just a few of the 3.7 million Ukrainians who have fled the Russian invasion.(Snip)The president wore a black face mask and a dark blue baseball cap bearing the logo of the Beau Biden Foundation—but frequently lowered the face covering as he talked.(Snip)He hoisted a young girl in his arms and gave her a quick smooch—“I don’t speak Ukrainian, but tell her I want to
Seattle—The man accused of randomly attacking a Harborview Medical Center employee at a Seattle light rail station earlier this month appeared in court for the first time on Thursday. The alleged victim was there to speak to the court directly. I believe if he is let out "he will kill someone," said assault victim Kim Hayes of Seattle.
Prosecutors argued Alexander Jay's conduct was "alarming" and requested bail be set at $150,000 for the alleged attack on March 2. He is charged with second-degree assault.(Snip)Records show Jay has been convicted of 20 crimes in the last two decades in California and Washington, including assault, theft, and burglary.
President Joe Biden on Saturday compared Poland's taking in more than 2 million Ukraine refugees to the migrant situation on the Southern border of the U.S. The odd comparision came as Biden was thanking Polish President Andrzej Duda for his country's response to the humanitarian crisis and pledging U.S. financial aid.
'We do acknowledge Poland has taken on a lot with all of the responsibility,' Biden said. 'The fact that you have so many Ukrainians seeking refuge in this country of Poland. We understand that because we have, at our southern border, thousands of people per day literally, not figuratively, trying to get into the United States,' he said.
The gunman who shot a 3-year-old girl walking with her father in Brooklyn was aiming at another dad and child when the innocent toddler took a bullet to the shoulder, cops said Saturday.
The revelation comes as cops released surveillance images of the gunman in the hopes that someone recognizes him. The triggerman was aiming at a 28-year-old man putting his 2-year-old son into a car on Riverdale Ave. near Amboy St. in Brownsville when he opened fire at 6 p.m. Friday, cops said. He completely missed his target, but one bullet went wild and hit a 3-year-old girl leaving the Creative
Minneapolis—Federal prosecutors are dropping their appeal of a judge's decision to overturn the death sentence for a Minnesota man convicted in the 2003 kidnapping and killing of Dru Sjodin, but they said they still intend to seek the death penalty when he is resentenced. In a court filing Friday, prosecutors and defense attorneys for Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. voluntarily agreed to dismiss the appeal. Interim U.S. Attorney Nicholas Chase told The Associated Press that the case will now be set for a resentencing, as the judge ordered, and "we are still seeking the death penalty."(Snip)Authorities said Rodriguez, a convicted sex offender, kidnapped Sjodin from the parking lot
President Biden on Saturday attended a meeting of Ukrainian officials in Poland in an attempt to smooth things over after the war-torn country’s top officials slammed the lack of action during this week’s emergency NATO summit. The White House said Mr. Biden will drop by a meeting between Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and their Ukrainian counterparts, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba and Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov.(Snip)Mr. Biden told the ministers about his own experiences traveling by rail. “You’re looking at a fellow who’s traveled over a million, 200,000 miles on a train. Literally,” Biden said. “I learned how to sleep.”

Joe Biden’s call-to-arms speech in Poland was long on soaring rhetoric about the virtues of democracy but woefully short on what more the West will do to help Ukraine defeat the Russian invasion. But by the time he got to the finish, most of that was forgotten. What mattered most and what will be remembered for a long time was a single line the president of the United States said about the president of Russia: “For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”(Snip)Maybe the idea just popped into Biden’s addled brain and he added it on the fly.
Tech giant Apple is working on turning its iPhone and other products into a subscription-based hardware service sharing some similarities with a car lease.
Bloomberg reports that tech giant Apple is developing a subscription service for its iPhone and other hardware products, which could turn iPhone ownership into a subscription service rather than direct hardware ownership. The service would be Apple’s biggest effort so far to enter the automatically recurring sales market.
The project is reportedly still in development, according to sources with knowledge of the matter, and has yet to be finalized. Apple shares climbed to a session high falling Bloomberg’s reporting of the feature late this week,
Joe Biden’s trip overseas has been a disaster!
Biden has dramatically escalated his rhetoric against Vladimir Putin, calling for the Russian leader to be removed because of his brutal invasion of Ukraine.
“For God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power,” Biden’s said at the very end of a speech in Poland’s capital that served as the capstone on a four-day trip to Europe.
Biden has frequently talked about ensuring that the Kremlin’s now two-month invasion becomes a “strategic failure” for Putin and has described the Russian leader as a “war criminal.” But until his remarks in Warsaw, the American leader had not said that Putin should not run Russia.
What’s happening to the Marines?

Lately, when we think about what’s happening to America’s military under Biden, we’ve been focusing on the Pentagon’s obsessions with race, LGBTQ+++ issues (especially transgenderism), women’s rights, and political “wrong think” (i.e., conservativism). That obsession has consistently put progressive social policy ahead of military cohesion and readiness. However, Jim Webb, who was a Marine infantry officer while in Vietnam, then the Navy secretary under Ronald Reagan and, lastly, a Virginia senator during the Obama years, has written an op-ed about a different concern: The potentially damaging, purely operational changes Marine commandment Gen. David Berger intends to impose on the Corps.
Following months of hype, CNN is rolling out its new streaming service with the official launch of CNN+ which will become available on April 28 but something very noticeable is missing from the promo, prized hire Chris Wallace who isn’t among the network personalities featured in the video.The news that the longtime Fox News anchor was lured away from his former employer sent shockwaves through the industry as the top figure at the network bolted for rival CNN after 18 years during which he was one of the most well-known faces despite drawing criticism from the staunchly conservative viewer base, particularly over his rude treatment of
Following the New York Times’ recent acknowledgment that the infamous Hunter Biden laptop is actually 100% legit, new polling released this week by Rasmussen Reports shows that a growing number of Democrat voters are waking up to the fact that the 2020 election was, at the very least, rigged, if not outright stolen.
In other words, the narrative is crumbling – it’s impossible to hide the fact that Biden is an illegitimate and incompetent president.
According to the poll from March 24th, nearly a quarter of registered Democrat voters now believe that Joe would not be president today if the media had done their jobs
Tucker Carlson might host one of the most important hours on television in all of America. Each night, it seems he distills the most pressing and alarming issues of the day into a fifteen-minute monologue, each of which is deserving of required-viewing status.

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker on Sunday railed against Republican questioning of Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last week during her confirmation hearings and suggested that Democrats' past treatment of conservative nominees was necessary.
During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," after host Chuck Todd asked how to fix the "broken" confirmation hearings that become increasingly partisan in recent years, Booker slammed Republicans' line of questioning for Jackson as "outrageous" and "beyond the pale."
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and Gen. Mark A. Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have tried to set up phone calls with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Gen.
