Islamist Teen Arrested for Plotting Christmas Market Truck Attack.

A teenager believed to have radical Islamist links has been arrested for allegedly planning to drive a truck through a busy Christmas market in a bid to murder as many people as possible. Police in Elmshorn in Germany’s Schleswig-Holstein region arrested a 17-year-old Turkish-German national who they say was planning a truck attack at the city’s Christmas market.

Intelligence tips from the United States alerted the German authorities to the suspect in the spring of this year. After a Federal Criminal Police Office investigation, he was arrested on November 6. The description of the alleged plot matches the 2016 Christmas market attack in Berlin that Tunisian asylum seeker Anis Amri carried out. Amri drove a large truck through the German capital, killing a dozen people and injuring another 56.

Christmas markets across Europe have been targets of radical Islamic terrorists for years, with many now having to be guarded by armed police. Germany, specifically, has seen several Islamist terror attacks this year, including a mass stabbing at a diversity festival in Solingen over the summer, which left several dead.

As of September, Europe had seen at least 21 attempted terrorist attacks this year, many of which were linked to the Islamic State terrorist group.

The fatal stabbing of three children in Southport in the United Kingdom may also have been linked to radical Islam. Suspect Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, a migrant-background teenager, was said to have been in possession of jihadist terror manuals and attempted to create the deadly nerve agent ricin. However, police only revealed the possible connection months after the stabbing took place in July.

ELECTION DATA: Parents of Minor Children Shifted Support to Trump.

Election polls reveal that parents of minor children voted for President-elect Donald J. Trump over Vice President Kamala Harris, becoming a crucial part of the Trump campaign’s victory. This demographic showed a noteworthy shift from the 2020 election, with Trump receiving 53 percent of their votes, compared to 44 percent for Harris.

Parents of children under 18 were vital in Trump’s victory. They represented 27 percent of the overall electorate and shifted 15 points from the previous election when they favored Joe Biden by a six-point margin.

Fathers with dependent children broke for Trump by a dramatic 23-point margin in 2024, a substantial increase from their nearly equal split in 2020. Although mothers of minor children also shifted toward Trump, they still favored Harris by a five-point margin overall, marking an eight-point move compared to four years prior.

A central topic in the election was transgender issues related to children. Trump released an ad during the campaign that highlighted how Harris had supported allowing biological men to compete in girls’ sports.

Under the Biden-Harris regime, children have been subjected to pro-LGBTQ agenda lessons in several states. A federal court in Maryland even ruled this year that parents were not allowed to opt out of the lessons.

The Biden-Harris regime even used taxpayer-funded foster care funds to pay for children wishing to change their gender identities. The money was earmarked for a variety of things, including fake penises for young girls pretending to be boys.

Between 2019 and 2023, doctors in the United States massively profited from sex change procedures for minors. Medical professionals made a total of over $120 million during the period, which saw thousands of minors having gender reassignment surgeries or puberty blockers.

Amsterdam Aflame as Pro-Palestinian ‘Youths’ Riot.

A tram has been set on fire, and at least one man attacked in the streets, as pro-Palestinian “youths” have taken to the streets of Amsterdam in the Netherlands days after prior antisemitic violence.

Groups of masked people dressed in black descended on the Plein area on Monday, November 11, and began rioting and setting off fireworks. In one case, which was caught in video, a tram had its windows smashed and was set on fire. A man on a bicycle was also attacked in the area as the rioters chanted pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel slogans.

Local police say that the violence started at around 7:15 PM and that a large group of people took part in the violence. Several arrests were made, but it is unclear how many people were arrested.

The violence comes just days after antisemitic mobs carried out attacks on Jews and supporters of the Israel Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer club. At least 62 people were arrested following that violence, which caused at least five people to be injured and was described as a “pogrom” by Dutch anti-Islamist populist leader Geert Wilders.

Five more people were arrested in neighboring Belgium in the city of Antwerp on Sunday, November 10, as authorities discovered a social media group of men trying to organize further violence against Jews.

Messages on the social media platform Snapchat indicated that people in the group wanted to take “action” against Jews in Antwerp. Anyone seen in the city’s Jewish neighborhood wearing balaclavas or carrying Palestinian flags was preemptively arrested.

White Stripes Drop Lawsuit Against President Donald Trump.

The White Stripes are dropping their lawsuits against President-elect Donald J. Trump‘s campaign over using their song ‘Seven Nation Army’ in a video posted to social media. According to a filing in the U.S. District Court’s Southern District of New York, the band—through its frontman Jack White—is asking the case be “dismissed without prejudice” and is dropping “all claims against Defendants Donald John Trump, Donald J. Trump for President 2024, and Margo McAtee Martin.”

Jack White and his ex-wife Meg White comprise the two members of The White Stripes; however, the former appears to be the primary instigator behind the litigation. The National Pulse reported in September that White announced the lawsuit following Margo Martin’s posting of a video featuring the band’s song. White filed a copyright infringement lawsuit, accusing the campaign of “flagrant misappropriation” of the song.

It remains unclear if the Trump campaign had a licensing agreement with the music’s license holder. Such agreements are often a hurdle for music artists who become upset with certain political candidates using their music. Regardless of the license status, White’s decision to sue Trump garnered him and his band headlines for several days and the adulation of Democrats supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Despite insisting the lawsuit was serious and aimed to bar Trump’s use of the song and recoup any losses, White has now quietly moved to withdraw the legal action. Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election and the relatively low chances of White’s lawsuit being successful—despite its media accolades—were likely motivating factors in the decision.

BREAKING: Lee Zeldin Will Head Trump EPA.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has tapped former Representative Lee Zeldin (R-NY) to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in his new administration. Trump says Zeldin “has been a true fighter for America First policies” and “will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted to unleash the power of American businesses, while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet.”

“I am deeply honored to have been asked by President Trump to serve in his Cabinet. As EPA Administrator, we will restore American energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, make the United States the global leader of Artificial Intelligence advancement, and slash the red tape holding back American workers from upward economic mobility,” Zeldin said.

“We will accomplish all this while conserving our environment, protecting access to clean air and water, and keeping the American people healthy. I look forward to contributing to President Trump’s agenda to build a more prosperous future for our nation,” he added.

Britain and France Are Already Trying to Scupper Trump’s Peace Plans.

Britain’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and France’s President Emmanuel Macron are preparing to discuss efforts to challenge U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump’s potential reduction in support for Ukraine. This meeting, scheduled for Monday in Paris, will cover a range of topics, including whether Joe Biden can be convinced to permit Ukraine to launch Storm Shadow missiles deep into Russian territory—significantly escalating the war before Trump has a chance to end it. These discussions will coincide with Starmer’s visit for an Armistice Day ceremony, marking the end of the First World War in 1918.

The leaders’ discussions will also touch on concerns about the Middle East and the threat of a trade war between the U.S. and Europe. The forthcoming weeks present a critical window for Biden to influence U.S. policy as Trump takes office on January 20.

Biden has been actively working to cement U.S. support for Zelensky. White House initiatives announced last week involve continuing humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. Trump’s potential policy shift is underscored by news that his incoming administration will exclude hawkish figures like Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley.

However, Zelensky has publicly welcomed Trump’s election, saying, “I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs,” adding: “We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership.”

Immediate Vaccine Suspension Ordered Over Contamination Fears.

An immediate halt to the use of Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 vaccines has been called by Port Hedland’s local government in Western Australia. The move follows claims of synthetic DNA contamination in the vaccines. During a special meeting on October 11, councilors voted 5-2 to alert all 537 local councils across Australia about the potential risks linked to this contamination.

The council is expressing serious concerns about possible health impacts, including genomic integration, cancer, hereditary defects, and immune system issues. Healthcare providers in Port Hedland received correspondence urging them to inform patients considering these vaccines. Federal Member of Parliament (MP) Russell Broadbent echoes the council’s stance. He is also demanding an investigation into the contamination.

The initiative came after testing by Canadian virologist Dr. David Speicher found synthetic DNA in vaccine vials at levels allegedly exceeding regulatory limits. Similar findings in other countries have brought attention to DNA remnants that result from the vaccine production process. These findings have sparked responses from health officials like Florida‘s Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo, who previously called for suspending the vaccine program.

In contrast, regulatory bodies, including Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), maintain that the vaccines pose no safety risks. The TGA has described reports of contamination as “misinformation,” although detailed evidence to counter these claims has not been released publicly. The agency has tested several vaccine batches and declared them compliant, but the results remain redacted.

Border Hawk Stephen Miller to Become White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

According to insiders familiar with the transition planning, President-Elect Donald J. Trump will appoint Stephen Miller as White House deputy chief of staff for policy. Miller served as White House Director of Speechwriting and Senior Advisor to the President during the first Trump administration, focusing particularly on immigration and border security.

Miller, 39, has remained close to Trump’s circle since the end of the first term, supporting the 2024 campaign. Under the Biden-Harris government, he worked to preserve Trump’s legacy, founding the America First Legal firm to counteract some of the worst excesses of Democratic policy. In May, a lawsuit brought by America First Legal successfully shuttered the Biden-Harris Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Homeland Intelligence Experts Group due to the fact it had been packed with partisan actors such as James Clapper and John Brennan, who helped to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.

Trump has consistently promised to prioritize the nation’s immigration crisis in his second term, including taking firm action to end illegal border crossings and deport illegal aliens en masse. Miller’s appointment signals a commitment to fulfilling these promises.

REVEALED: FEMA Told Workers to Bypass Homes Displaying Trump Signs.

Internal communications reveal that a federal disaster official told workers to skip homes displaying support for President-elect Donald J. Trump following the devastation of Hurricane Milton in Florida. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supervisor Marn’i Washington reportedly communicated these instructions verbally and in team group chats.

As a result of Washington’s actions, about 20 homes in Lake Placid, Florida, were skipped from late October into November. This left residents unable to secure a federal aid assessment. Employees documented instances of bypassing properties with messages like “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

The workers belonged to a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity team, enlisted to assist FEMA amid staffing shortages during two consecutive major hurricanes. Highlands County, where the bypassed homes are located, is known for its overwhelming support for Trump.

A FEMA spokesman described the actions as “deeply disturbing” and confirmed that the responsible employee had been removed from their role pending an investigation.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, FEMA has been deeply criticized for withholding and allegedly seizing aid meant for victims. For instance, tech billionaire Elon Musk says that FEMA prevented the distribution of Starlink terminals and other supplies in North Carolina.

FEMA also stated that it would not help some locals in the state because the agency felt disaster victims may threaten its employees. FEMA allegedly received reports from the National Guard that an “armed militia” was threatening relief workers.

The two hurricanes also highlighted the lack of money available to help disaster victims. However, FEMA did spend over a billion dollars on helping house illegal immigrants.

WaPo Tells Staff to Get Back to Office.

The Washington Post has announced a return-to-office mandate for employees, signaling a shift from pandemic-era remote work practices. According to a recent memo issued by chief executive William Lewis, all staff are expected to resume in-office work five days a week by June 2, 2025 with managers required back by February 3 of next year. Lewis emphasized the benefits of in-person collaboration in his memo, stating, “We are really good when we are working together in person.”

This policy aligns with a similar directive from Amazon, where chief executive Andy Jassy highlighted how in-person work enhances speedy decision-making and cultural retention. Amazon, the e-commerce company headed by Jeff Bezos, who also owns The Washington Post, announced its return-to-office plans in September.

The policy shift at The Post arrives at a time of internal unrest. Jeff Bezos’s previous decision to cease presidential candidate endorsements by the paper led to a series of subscription cancellations and criticism from some of its journalists.

The response from The Washington Post Guild, the employee union, was swift and negative. The guild labeled the new office mandate as “inflexible and outdated,” expressing concerns over potential disruptions to work instead of improvements in productivity or collaboration. “Guild leadership sees this for what it is: a change that stands to further disrupt our work,” the union complained in a statement.

As many companies reassess their work policies post-pandemic, The Washington Post‘s decision to enforce a full return to the office reflects broader industry trends toward re-establishing pre-pandemic norms.
