An “independent” media outlet tied to a pro-China megadonor aims to turn Americans against President Donald Trump for his aggressive stance toward Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. New York City-based nonprofit BreakThrough News has spent years telling its audience, which includes more than a million YouTube subscribers, that the now-captured Maduro’s socialist regime is not the corrupt “narco-state” Trump portrays it to be. The group takes large payments from the People’s Forum and the Justice and Education Fund (JEF), two left-wing nonprofits with connections to tech guru and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) supporter Neville Roy Singham, according to tax filings.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s newly instated radical-left tenant advocate, Cea Weaver, broke down Wednesday as she dodged questions from reporters about her gentrification hypocrisy. The 37-year-old, who has faced backlash for blasting homeownership as a “weapon of white supremacy” in the past, teared up when she emerged briefly from her apartment building in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, at about 9 a.m. Weaver, who was tapped by Mamdani to be his new director of the city Office to Protect Tenants, quickly ran back inside after she was asked about the $1.6 million home her mother owns in Nashville, Tennessee.

The story is a bit old, but given that state fraud is now under the microscope, here’s a tale NewsNation did from Maine. It’s not about Somali daycare centers, but a Somali-run health services contractor, and the allegations are just as severe. It could complicate Maine’s Senate race, as Gov. Janet Mills, who is running to usurp Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, might be wrapped up in it. Christopher Bernardini was the billing master for Gateway Community Services, who he claims is part of a scheme that defrauds taxpayers out of millions. He’s coming forward to expose the truth.

The 26-year-old man who is the suspect in the vandalism of Vice President JD Vance’s Cincinnati home on Monday demanded law enforcement call him “Julia” and has a prior criminal record and mental health issues, Fox News reported, citing federal sources. The suspect, William DeFoor, was booked in jail on Monday and is facing charges for vandalism, obstruction of official business, criminal damaging or endangering, and criminal trespass after allegedly wielding a hammer and smashing several windows at Vance’s home. The vice president and his family were not at the residence at the time of the incident.

Hilton Hotels swiftly terminated its franchise agreement with an independently owned Hampton Inn in Minnesota after a video surfaced showing the hotel continuing to refuse rooms to DHS and ICE agents. This, despite assurances that the chain is a "welcoming place for all." Trouble erupted mid-afternoon on Monday when the Department of Homeland Security posted email communications from a Hampton Inn Lakeville property showing that management or staff had researched the name of at least one law enforcement officer attempting to make a reservation and then canceled the commitment once realizing they were involved with "immigration work."

A machete-wielding maniac was shot and killed in a chaotic confrontation with police at a New Jersey home Monday night — before cops discovered three dead victims inside the residence, according to authorities and reports. Cops responded to a home on River Road in Piscataway around 5:30 p.m. after receiving a 911 call about an individual who had a knife, the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office told WABC. When police arrived, an unidentified man charged at them with a large blade, a law enforcement source told the outlet. The blade he was carrying was specifically identified as a machete, sources told Fox 5.

Amy had this earlier today: ICE agents in the Minneapolis area were denied lodging at the Hilton hotel. The Department of Homeland Security described it as a “coordinated campaign,” and screenshots of the canceled reservations accompanied their tweet: Curtis added: In the email, the employee wrote, "After further investigation online, we have found immigration work connected with your name, and we will be canceling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in your inbox shortly from Hilton." The hotel chain now responded, racing to do damage control, but is it too late? Fox News’ Bill Melugin posted their statement:

These are the lifestyles of the rich and shameless. The Somali fraudsters convicted in the Feeding Our Future scandal flaunted government-funded lifestyles and robust real estate portfolios with the millions of dollars they bilked from the federal government. Minny insiders marveled this week to The Post at their sheer chutzpah. Brazen scammers stole hundreds of millions of dollars of federal COVID relief funds — spending their loot on tony condos, expensive cars, and real estate projects in Kenya — including a four-story apartment building and luxury resort, according to court documents.

Venezuela's interim leader, Delcy Rodriguez, has hurled threats at Donald Trump after the capture of the country's president, Nicolas Maduro, who is now languishing in a New York federal jail. The Supreme Court of Venezuela confirmed hardline socialist Vice President Rodriguez as Maduro's successor just hours after US forces detained him and his wife, Cilia Flores, on narco-terrorism and drug trafficking charges on Saturday. Trump said he preferred Rodriguez, 56, in power rather than the country's opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, adding that Maduro's VP was prepared to work with the US. 'She, I think, was quite gracious, but she really doesn't have a choice,' Trump said of Rodriguez

A pizza place near the Pentagon received an unusual rush in orders just an hour after the US launched its attack on Venezuela. Pizzato Pizza in Arlington, Virginia, “suddenly surged in traffic” at 2 a.m. Friday, according to Pentagon Pizza Report, an online account that tracks a pizza spot supposedly favored by federal agents. That would be 3 a.m. in Caracas, one hour after the US rained down airstrikes on the capital city that lasted less than 30 minutes.The Pentagon Pizza theory follows pizza orders surrounding the Pentagon, speculating that an increase in late nights orders for federal agents corresponds with major historical events.

In a Christmas week sting operation in partnership with the New York Police Department, the Dallas Police Department, the Midlothian, TX Police Department, the Euless, TX Police Department, the FBI NY field office, and the FBI Dallas field office, 21-year-old John Michael Garza Jr. of Midlothian, TX was arrested for allegedly funding the international terror group ISIS as well as supplying bomb-making implements to a person he assumed was an "ISIS brother." In reality, it was an undercover agent. Garza gave details to the undercover agent on how to mix the components and offered to send an instructional video on how to build the bomb.
