NEW: British journalist Sami Hamdi is being released from US detention.
Trump administration agents detained him two weeks ago at the San Francisco airport — hours after he addressed an event, where he urged US leaders to take an “America First” approach rather than “Israel First.”

A social experiment that was performed by Nikalie Monroe (on TikTok) has been getting heard.
She called local churches, a mosque (who said yes A.SA.P.) to see if they would help feed a hungry baby. The answers, if anything, we're shocking!
Most said no; 8 said yes (or of ~30).

The word to describe the unlawful killing of civilians in international waters is "murder"
The U.S. military killed six people on Sunday in two more strikes on boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, without providing evidence. The strikes raised the death toll in the campaign to 76 people.

Now they are going to commute Maxwell’s sentence to protect the pedophiles & transnational organized crime because she has blackmail receipts. This is what happens when criminals are running our government.

“The footage also shows Bovino, who earlier this week was admonished in court for lying about his use of force against civilians and media, pacing back and forth holding a can of tear gas and pointing at it in front of screaming neighbors before a group of Chicago police officers approached him.”
Bovino went into popular Carniceria Aguascalientes in heart of Little Village.
“They said they were just here to buy something,” said Elizabeth Gutierrez. “I told them we wouldn’t serve them and escorted them out. Bovino seemed upset, but I don’t care.” www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/08/c...
