DC Lawsuit Alleges Amazon Halted Fast Deliveries to Predominantly Black Areas.

The District of Columbia has initiated a lawsuit against the e-commerce giant Amazon, alleging the company secretly halted its fastest delivery service in two predominantly black Washington neighborhoods while continuing to charge these residents for Prime membership. Filed in the District of Columbia Superior Court, the complaint claims Amazon’s Prime service, which costs $139 annually or $14.99 monthly, does not provide its promised expedited deliveries, including one-day, two-day, and same-day options to a large swath of Northeast and Southeast Washington, D.C.—both areas which have seen waves of retail thefts and violent crime, including deadly carjackings.

Instead of using its fast delivery network of vehicles and drivers, Amazon outsources deliveries to third-party services such as UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. Though Amazon cited driver safety issues for this change, the suit argues the company failed to inform affected Prime members in those neighborhoods, resulting in slower deliveries.

District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb highlighted the financial implications: “Amazon is charging tens of thousands of hard-working Ward 7 and 8 residents for an expedited delivery service it promises but does not provide.” Schwalb stressed that while operational changes are within Amazon’s rights, the company cannot devalue memberships based on geographical distinctions.

The lawsuit points out that the two neighborhoods have around 50,000 Prime members, making up nearly half the local population. These residents have reportedly ordered over 4.5 million packages in the last four years, heavily relying on Amazon due to fewer local services and retail outlets. Before the alleged exclusion, over 72 percent of Prime packages in these areas were delivered within two days, dropping to 24 percent afterward. Conversely, other city areas maintained a 75 percent two-day delivery rate.

District officials are seeking court intervention to prevent deceptive practices by Amazon and to secure financial restitution for affected members, alongside civil penalties. This legal action follows a previous antitrust suit against Amazon filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and 17 state attorneys general.

BREAKING: UnitedHealthcare CEO Shot Dead in Midtown, Possible Targeted Attack.

UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson, 50, was fatally shot early Wednesday morning outside the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan in what police describe as a targeted attack. Thompson was arriving at the hotel around 6:46 AM for a conference when a masked gunman, allegedly lying in wait, opened fire multiple times before fleeing the scene, law enforcement sources said. Witnesses reported seeing the suspect lingering near the hotel on 6th Avenue before the attack.

Emergency responders rushed Thompson to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead after arriving in critical condition. Police have not made any arrests, and an investigation remains ongoing.

Authorities describe the suspect as a white male wearing a cream-colored jacket, a black face mask, black-and-white sneakers, and carrying a gray backpack. After the shooting, the gunman fled eastbound through the Ziegfeld alleyway and escaped on a bicycle.

Officials confirmed the suspect was not a guest at the Hilton, though it is unclear if he had other business at the hotel.

Thompson, a 20-year veteran of UnitedHealth, had served as CEO since 2021, overseeing government programs such as Medicare and Retirement before his promotion.

Secret Service Opens Fire on Carjackers Near Treasury Secretary Yellen’s DC Home.

Secret Service agents fired shots at suspected carjackers attempting to break into vehicles near Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s home in Washington, D.C., early Tuesday morning. The incident occurred shortly after 1:30 AM. The suspects fled the scene in their vehicle and remain at large.

Law enforcement officials confirmed the gunfire was part of an “agent-involved shooting.” The motives of the suspects and their connection, if any, to Yellen remain unclear, with investigators yet to provide further details.

The Washington Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Attorney’s Office, led by Matthew Graves, are overseeing the investigation. Senior law enforcement sources indicate that neither agents nor the carjackers were harmed during the incident, which took place in a high-security area.

Violent crime in the Democrat-dominated American capital is increasingly encroaching on the lives of the country’s governing class despite their relatively high levels of protection. In July, U.S. Marshals shot an 18-year-old trying to carjack federal bodyguards stationed outside Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor‘s home. Earlier in the year, Mike Gill, an official in the first Donald J. Trump administration, was shot and killed during a carjacking spree on the 900 block of K Street NW.

In November 2023, Secret Service agents protecting Joe Biden’s granddaughter Naomi opened fire on assailants attempting to break into an unmarked SUV. The month before, Democrat Congressman Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar had been carjacked outside an apartment block housing dozens of lawmakers.

Judge Enforces Subpoena Against ActBlue, Advancing Fundraising Probe Against Dems.

A Wisconsin court decision is placing increasing scrutiny on ActBlue, a prominent Democratic fundraising platform. Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a subpoena directed at ActBlue, demanding explanations concerning GOP consultant Mark Block’s claims about unauthorized donations using his email identity. This legal action is part of a broader investigation coordinated by Congress and 19 state attorneys general.

Judge Schimel rejected ActBlue’s objections, which claimed compliance with the subpoena was overly burdensome. The court granted Block and his legal team from the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) permission to pursue discovery, aiming to uncover potential fraud tied to the unauthorized donations from his old email address linked to various liberal campaigns.

ActBlue’s efforts to resist the subpoena, primarily on behalf of a purported contributor known as Bernard Cain, were unsuccessful. Judge Schimel highlighted that ActBlue operates as a contribution conduit, emphasizing the need for transparency in this case.

“Something is not right,” Judge Schimel declared when approving the subpoena. He continued: “There may be an element of fraud, or maybe it is innocent. Plaintiff has set forth enough in their complaint and in support of their subpoena to demonstrate that there may be something here.”

Block initiated legal action this fall, alleging that his identity was part of a broader conspiracy exploiting the ActBlue platform under civil racketeering laws. This case aligns with findings from the House Administration Committee, which identified numerous suspicious transactions on the platform. These transactions seemingly involved donors who lacked the financial capacity for such contributions.

Meanwhile, the investigation has gained momentum, expanding to 19 states. ActBlue has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

Additionally, House investigators have issued a subpoena to ActBlue amid broader inquiries into possible illicit foreign funding. The Treasury Department’s detection system flagged hundreds of suspicious activity reports related to the platform, prompting further legislative scrutiny.

The Illegal Muslim Migrant Who Murdered a Jew Appears to Have Committed Suicide in Jail.

Sidi Mohamed Abdallahi, the 22-year-old Mauritanian national who was held on charges related to a shooting incident in Chicago, was found dead in his jail cell in what authorities describe as an “apparent suicide attempt by hanging.” The Cook County Sheriff’s Office reported that staff discovered Abdallahi unresponsive during a routine check at the facility’s medical unit. Emergency measures were implemented, and he was transported to a hospital but was subsequently declared deceased.

On October 26, Abdallahi allegedly shot a Jewish man en route to a synagogue in Chicago. The incident escalated when law enforcement and first responders arrived on the scene, and Abdallahi reportedly opened fire, shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the exchange. Although Abdallahi sustained injuries in the firefight, responding officers escaped without harm. An ambulance from the Chicago Fire Department was hit during the gunfire exchange.

Prosecutors had argued that Abdallahi was involved in a broader plan targeting several Jewish institutions, including schools and community centers. Evidence suggesting he had mapped out these locations was presented in court.

Following the shooting incident, Abdallahi was initially hospitalized due to his injuries but was later transferred to jail custody. Despite the current designation of suicide, the Illinois State Police Public Integrity Task Force is set to carry out an independent inquiry into his death. While authorities have ruled out foul play, the investigation continues to ensure all circumstances are thoroughly examined.

MSNBC Says Joe Biden Should Pardon Himself and Jack Smith Next.

MSNBC is pushing President Joe Biden to pardon himself and Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith—along with his team of attorneys—in the wake of the 82-year-old Democrat deciding to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. The network, late Sunday after Biden announced the pardoning of his son, featured former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks, who argued Biden should use his pardon power to protect DOJ officials who pursued the federal government lawfare campaign against President-elect Donald J. Trump.

“I’m relieved and thrilled that he did it; this was one of the cases that called out for clemency. Hunter Biden, first of all, would not ever be prosecuted for the gun crime, but for his last name,” Wine-Banks claimed when asked for her reaction by MSNBC host Jonathan Capehart. However, the former Watergate prosecutor went further, urging Biden to  “…issue preemptive pardons to all of those people threatened by the injustice of what will become the Department of Justice in the Trump administration.”

“That includes Jack Smith and all of his staff, many Department of Justice lawyers, it includes President Biden himself, although we don’t know that anyone can legally pardon themselves,” Wine-Banks continued, concluding: “He will need a pardon because he is going to be harassed and charged for no crimes whatsoever. Donald Trump has promised that.”


There are widespread suspicions that President Biden’s pardoning of his son, Hunter, may just be the first in a series of grants of legal clemency for members of his family and individuals who’ve served in his government. Along with special counsel Jack Smith, Biden may also move to pardon any cabinet officials or former officials, like Dr. Anthony Fauci, who the incoming Trump White House could move to investigate.

Hunter Biden Allegedly Owes This Family $300k in Back Rent.

Shaun Maguire, a partner at Sequoia Capital, claims Hunter Biden owes his family $300,000 for unpaid rent on a property in Venice, California. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Maguire states Hunter Biden lived at the residence between 2019 and 2020 and did not pay the monthly rent of $25,000. The allegations emerged shortly after Joe Biden announced a pardon for his son, covering various crimes over 11 years.

Maguire’s posts on X questioned whether the pardon affects the allegedly unpaid rent. He sarcastically thanked President Biden, asking, “So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now?”

The partner at Sequoia Capital went on to explain that Hunter Biden attempted to pay the rent with “art made from his own feces” and called President Biden’s son an “Absolute sh*t bag.”

While President Biden’s essentially blanket pardon for his son covers federal crimes, no presidential pardon can excuse civil crimes or penalties. Any non-criminal civil claims against Hunter Biden remain viable, including the alleged back-rent owed to Maguire’s family.

The pardon is one of the most far-reaching to be issued in decades, comparable to then-President Gerald Ford’s pardoning of former President Richard Nixon. When President Biden issued the pardon late Sunday evening, the broad language left many political observers stunned. It included any “offenses against the United States” Hunter Biden has or may have committed over an 11-year period—suggesting there may be other crimes that President Biden is aware his son has committed but are not publicly known.

AZ Man Faces Charges for Threatening Donald Trump and Family.

An Arizona man, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, has been detained following accusations of threatening President-elect Donald J. Trump and his family while wielding a rifle in online videos. As detailed in court documents from Arizona, Tamayo-Torres is alleged to have uploaded videos almost daily, making a bizarre and unfounded series of allegations against the President-elect and his family. Concerningly, one video is believed to have been recorded at a Trump rally held at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on August 23.

The documents reference “Individual 1,” describing this person as a former president and current President-elect rather than directly naming Trump. In a Facebook video dated November 13, Tamayo-Torres is seen displaying a white AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine, issuing a challenging but unclear threat, according to the documents. He is quoted as referring to “Individual 1” and mentioning a scenario involving pursuit after gunfire.

On November 21, another video allegedly showed Tamayo-Torres threatening that Trump’s entire family would die. The documents further reveal his derogatory remarks about Trump’s background and a declaration of intent to cause harm if given the opportunity.

Tamayo-Torres was apprehended in Southern California on Monday. His legal representative has not provided any public comment. The charges against him include one count of making threats against the President-elect and four counts of providing false statements during a firearm purchase. The court documents note that Tamayo-Torres has a criminal history, with a felony assault conviction in 2003 resulting in a five-year imprisonment in California. In addition, he received a protective order from his ex-wife last year, according to the filings.

‘YOU GOT A LIOCENSE FOR THAT PLASTIC!?’ – UK Man Jailed for 5 Years for 3D-Printing Gun Parts.

A British man has been sentenced to over five years in prison after using a 3D printer to manufacture a workable firearm and possessing ammunition for it. Jordan Brown, a 25-year-old man from a small village near Blackpool, was sentenced to five years and two months in prison after Lancashire police discovered the 3D-printed firearm in his home.

According to local media reports, the firearm was created using a mix of 3D-printed materials and other materials, and ammunition was also found inside it. Detective Sergeant Vicki Speak of Lancashire Police stated, “The weapon was tested and found to be viable. Despite being manufactured with parts from a 3D printer, the harm which the weapon could cause was catastrophic.”

While 3D printers can manufacture most of a firearm’s components, viable weapons still require metal firing pins and other components to work reliably.

It remains unclear what motivated Brown, who pled guilty to the charges. His case comes just months after another British man was arrested for several terror offenses.

Jacob Graham, a 19-year-old admirer of American philosopher-terrorist Theodore “Ted” Kaczynski, a.k.a. the Unabomber, was convicted in Manchester in February for various acts, including preparation for a terrorist act and possession of information for terrorist purposes.

British Preschool Principal Arrested in DC Over Disturbing Video Request.

A British-born teacher who heads an expensive preschool has been arrested in a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sting operation after allegedly trying to solicit pornographic material involving a child. James Stewart Carroll, 55, appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges of attempted coercion and enticement of a minor. He could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison.

Carroll has been at the helm of the National Child Research Center, an institution requiring an annual fee of tens of thousands of dollars, since 2018. The FBI began investigating Carroll in September after being alerted by Discord staff over illicit activities.

Using the username “CircumcisedLondonGay,” he allegedly uploaded an image depicting two minors, resulting in further investigation. Federal authorities traced Carroll’s online activities back to his residence, enabling them to initiate contact with him through an undercover FBI agent.

Throughout conversations on Discord, Carroll reportedly expressed a specific interest in boys aged between eight and 12. Subsequently, pretending to be a separated father, the FBI agent prompted Carroll to request specific videos of abuse, culminating in his arrest.

Carroll’s arrest comes just months after a Canadian LGBTQ pride group leader was also arrested for possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

The head of the Maryland LGBT Democrats was also exposed in a sting operation this year by child predator hunter Alex Rosen. Democrat Michael Knaapen allegedly expressed a desire to rape a child.
