Former stripper and convicted murderer Crystal Mangum admitted Thursday that she lied and “made up a story” that three Duke University lacrosse players raped her at a team party in 2006. “They trusted me that I wouldn’t betray their trust, and I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped me when they didn’t, and that was wrong,” Magnum told the independent media outlet “Let’s Talk With Kat” at the North Carolina Correctional Institution for Women. “[I] made up a story that wasn’t true.”

The Iranian regime is obsessive: It obsessively hates Israel and the United States, it obsessively persecutes women, and it obsessively targets dissidents, Jews and politicians abroad.
Even as the Revolutionary Islamic Government’s proxy forces falter, sapping the mullahs’ supposed strength, they show no signs of giving up their fixations.
That is why the United States must take up an obsession of its own — one that applies maximum pressure on Iran.
On Nov. 8, three men were charged in a New York court in connection with an Iranian attempt to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump.
The FBI spoke to Luigi Mangione’s mother the night before her son’s high-profile arrest and told the feds he bore a resemblance to the suspect wanted for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, according to law enforcement sources.
Members of the Joint Violent Crimes Task Force questioned Kathleen Mangione late Sunday night after receiving a tip from San Francisco police – four days prior – about a missing person’s report the family had filed with the department in November, the sources said.
Police tipped off the feds after they recognized the 26-year-old’s face in surveillance images put out by the NYPD after Thompson, 50,
Experts are worried about how President-elect Trump’s nomination of Robert F. Kennedy as Health and Human Services secretary will affect vaccination rates for school children, which have been on the decline.
Schools have seen a drop in childhood vaccinations since the COVID-19 pandemic, when critics of the COVID-19 vaccines increased anti-vaccine sentiments in generalizing . Public health groups see vaccines as a huge bulwark against disease and fear Kennedy will only increase skepticism if he is confirmed.
Former Director of Counterterrorism of the CIA Bernard Hudson in an op-ed published Friday endorsed Army Lt. Col. Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as President-elect Donald Trump’s director of national intelligence, praising her as an independent thinker who will restore trust in the nation’s intelligence apparatus.
Hudson wrote in the National Review: “She has the experience, temperament, and professional integrity necessary for the American intelligence community to win and keep the trust of the American people.”

Sen. John Kennedy’s exchange with Retired Army Maj. Gen. Randy Manner during a recent Senate hearing was nothing short of epic. Kennedy, a master of political discourse, delivered a blistering takedown of Manner’s past comments on President Trump and his supporters during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. Manner was testifying about the incoming administration’s plans for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens.Manner began his opening statement by highlighting his 35 years of service in the military, including roles such as Deputy Commanding General of the United States Third Army in Kuwait and Acting Vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau.

Tax Case Sum Up the Biggest Problem With
His Recent Pardon 3 replies
President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son Hunter Biden – with years attached for personal reasons – still bothers me in a number of ways. Here’s a guy who went back on his promise not only to lawmakers but also to the American people. All for the sake of protecting his son’s hide, as well as his own.
But I think some recent comments provided by Federal District Judge Mark C. Scarsi really sum up the big problem with the pardon, which took place early last week.Speaking with NBC News earlier in the week, Scarsi, who was also working on Biden’s then-tax case,
Zachary Young, a former private contractor who facilitated evacuating individuals out of Afghanistan, brought a major defamation lawsuit against CNN. As we have been reporting, the case against the network for defaming Young’s work as “illegal” and “exploitative” by reporter Alex Marquardt and featured on Jake Tapper’s show was questioned within the ranks of CNN for lacking proper verification. Internal communications have indicated a strong slant towards provable malice, which the courts have agreed warrants a jury trial.
Dominic Cummings is an unusual man. When I first saw his name, in Tim Shipman’s book Brexit: All Out War, I imagined him as a sort of vast Chesterton or Mycroft Holmes figure, doing everything by the power of mind. But then I saw a picture: and he looked more like a Dickensian character, Traddles or Clennam or someone. Funny, since his critique is that of Dickens in Little Dorrit, that the art of government, regrettably, is “How Not To Do It”.
Cummings is unusual for being both a cog in the machinery of the state and also a spanner in the works of the state.

National Guard soldiers’ mission to help New York City’s overburdened migrant shelters will be “completed” next week, The Post has learned.
The deployment of New York Army National Guard troops — which began in 2022 — will stop assisting city officials in shelters starting Dec. 18 as the migrant crisis cools off, state officials revealed Thursday.
All troops in migrant shelters across the state will be sent home by March 31, according to orders obtained by The Post that note “mission completed.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has reportedly launched a behind-the-scenes effort to thwart Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) bid to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee.
Pelosi, 84, would rather see Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) serve as ranking member on the high-profile panel and is “actively working to tank” the 35-year-old New York Democrat’s bid, according to Punchbowl News.
The former House speaker has been “making calls” urging Democrats to support Connolly, 74, over Ocasio-Cortez, the outlet reported on Thursday.

President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
The commutations announced Thursday are for people who have served out home confinement sentences for at least one year after they were released. Prisons were uniquely bad for spreading the virus and some inmates were released in part to stop the spread. At one point, 1 in 5 prisoners had COVID-19, according to a tally kept by The Associated Press.

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement in Germany after sustaining injuries during a trip to Luxembourg, a spokesperson said on Saturday. [Snip] "Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg for their excellent care and kindness. Speaker Pelosi is enjoying the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and well wishes and is ever determined to ensure access to quality health care for all Americans," Krager added. The former speaker was taken by MEDEVAC to Landstuhl, Germany, a Defense official told NBC News, after Pelosi was injured Friday while on an official congressional trip to Luxembourg.
In a jaw-dropping interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby struggled to provide clear answers about a bizarre and alarming series of drone sightings in New Jersey.
MacCallum, unimpressed by Kirby’s evasions, grilled him relentlessly on why the administration hasn’t even bothered to shoot down one of these drones to uncover their origins.
Instead of providing clarity, Kirby fumbled through talking points about “policy options” and “inter-agency conversations.” His repeated refrain of “we don’t know”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is recovering after a dramatic fall on Friday, as previously reported.
Pelosi, 84, was hospitalized after sustaining an injury while traveling with a bipartisan congressional delegation. Pelosi was in Luxembourg to attend events marking the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the most significant engagements of World War II on the Western Front.
According to her spokesperson, Ian Krager, Pelosi is receiving "excellent treatment from doctors and medical professionals" and is expected to recover. However, she will not be able to attend the remaining engagements of the congressional delegation.
If your third-grader is competing in the 2025 Scripps National Spelling Bee, good news: “W-O-M-Y-N” is now an acceptable spelling of “women.” (What a time to be alive!)
In fact, “W-O-M-Y-N” is explicitly listed on the National Spelling Bee’s list of 50 “study words” that’s distributed to third-graders.
Nobody knows when spoken language began, but written language developed independently in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and Mesoamerica. Presumably, shortly after the emergence of writing, was the emergence of the crotchety, ornery, spinster schoolteacher who’d shame you before the class when you misspelled a word.
And now, the proper spelling of women is “W-O-M-Y-N.”
The Great Drone Scam

Let me begin with a phrase I never used to start a story in 45 years as a TV reporter: “I may be wrong.” This entire piece may be wrong, but those 45 years on the air and 2000+ hours as a pilot tell me I’m right.

The U.S. Military Academy has apologized for falsely saying President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Pentagon, Peter Hegseth, was never accepted into the school, known as West Point.
“A review of our records indicates Peter Hegseth was offered admission to West Point in 1999 but did not attend. An incorrect statement involving Hegseth’s admission to the U.S. Military Academy was released by an employee on Dec. 10, 2024,” a spokesperson for West Point told The Epoch Times in an email.
“Upon further review of an archived database, employees realized this statement was in error. Hegseth was offered acceptance to West Point as a prospective member of the Class of 2003.

Warring Democratic factions are in a 'knife fight' for control of the Party after Kamala Harris's humiliating election loss, say political insiders.
The battle lines are now drawn between West Coast liberals, Bernie Sanders-socialists and moderate technocrats in the Midwest, who insist the party has completely lost touch with the average American voter.
But first, there is one thing that all sides seemingly agree on: The current political establishment must be chased out of national politics for good.

A newly minted and massive Iranian drone carrier was captured in new satellite images sailing in the Persian Gulf this week — the ship’s first reported sighting since leaving its home port for the first time in mid-November.
The satellite images taken Thursday by commercial operator Maxar Technologies shows three Iranian drone ships in the waters off the country’s coast as theories have swirled in the US that Iran could be behind the mysterious drone sightings across the tri-state area, according to Business Insider.
Iran’s new carrier — the Shahid Bagheri — is a converted shipping container that was outfitted to support drone operations and was last seen on Nov. 12,
President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that he was granting 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations in what his administation called the “largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.” But it’s not Thursday’s set of commutations that have caught the attention of concerned Americans — it’s those that were quietly given weeks ago to Chinese spies.
X user Nick Sortor posted that “Joe Biden just pardoned multiple Chinese spies and an individual convicted of possessing child p*rnography. WHY?”

A New Jersey police department has sparked concern after it revealed that a drone it sent up to track a mystery aircraft 'easily' evaded their device before disappearing into thin air.
Ocean County Sheriff Michael Mastronardy said his force launched its drone after one of his officers saw 50 unmanned aerial vehicles, 'coming off the ocean'.
The officer dialed 911 to alert state police, the FBI and the Coast Guard. The maritime agency then reported seeing spotted 13 drones following their boat, estimating that the devices had a wingspan of eight feet.
Matronardy told NewsNation's Rich McHugh the force put up an 'industrial grade' drone to follow one of the devices,
