Far-left U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan is dismissing Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith’s case against President-elect Donald J. Trump in Washington, D.C. Earlier today, Smith filed a motion in federal court asking that the charges be dropped and the case dismissed, noting that the prohibition on prosecuting a sitting president is “categorical.”
“Dismissal without prejudice is appropriate here. Where a prosecutor moves to dismiss an indictment without prejudice, ‘there is a strong presumption in favor’ of that course,” the judge wrote. Chutkan goes on to note, however, that the immunity enjoyed by a president is only temporary—suggesting a future Democratic government could seek to revive the charges.
The Washington, D.C. prosecution involved allegations that Trump conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election. While this federal prosecution is officially over, it is expected that the second DOJ case—currently under appeal in Florida—will soon be dismissed entirely as well.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his former defense minister Yoav Gallant, and a Hamas military chief. In response to these developments, Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of Hamas’ founding members, blasted the “corruption” of the ICC, stressing the “absurdity” of the Hamas arrest warrant, considering he is already “a corpse.”
“Hamas leaders are in Turkey right now,” Yousef observed. However, instead of bringing these “war criminals” to justice, he said, the ICC is putting pressure on Israel.
Yousef argued the Israeli military has done everything it can to minimize civilian casualties in the densely populated Gaza Strip. In contrast, Hamas “did everything within their ability to maximize the civilian casualties, then they exaggerated the numbers, they lied to the international community, and they played on the emotional nerve of the West.”

Far-left filmmaker and anti-corporate activist Michael Moore is blasting the Democrats and Joe Biden, accusing the 82-year-old president of further destabilizing the world and fomenting conflict. In a letter addressed to Biden, Moore challenged what he perceives as Biden’s emerging legacy, warning that the lame duck leader could start World War III.
“Instead of using your precious little time left to do something to HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, your first action after Trump won was to fast track the delivery of over $6 Billion in weapons to Ukraine,” Moore, the director of the anti-gun film Bowling for Columbine, writes.
“Then, you called up Zelensky and gave him the green light to start firing long range ballistic missiles into a country with a massive amount of nuclear weapons, Russia. Then, as if that weren’t enough carnage for one week, you authorized the use of antipersonnel land mines in Russia,” he continues.
“LAND MINES, Joe? Seriously? THIS is your legacy? This is how you want to go out? In a blaze of horror? Like, if Joe’s gotta go, we all gotta go with him… right into World War III?” the left-wing filmmaker adds.
Moore goes on to condemn the Biden-Harris government for opposing a move by 19 senators to block U.S. weapons shipments to Israel. He lambasts allegations from Biden’s team labeling these senators as Hamas sympathizers.
Moore also expresses disapproval of the U.S. decision to obstruct a U.N. call for a ceasefire in Gaza, slamming Biden’s refusal to endorse an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Earlier this year, Moore accused Biden of supporting ethnic cleansing due to U.S. support for Israel’s war against Hamas.

Travelers across the United States may face disruptions as wintry weather is forecasted just before the Thanksgiving holiday. Meanwhile, California and Washington state are still addressing the aftermath of severe storms that resulted in power outages and damage. The recent storms claimed two lives in California, with the victims discovered in floodwaters over the weekend.
A winter storm warning is in effect for the Sierra Nevada mountain region through Tuesday. Heavy snowfall at higher altitudes is predicted, coupled with wind gusts reaching 55 mph. The region anticipates approximately four feet of snow, with the most significant accumulation on Monday and Tuesday.
The Midwest and Great Lakes are expected to experience rain and snow on Monday, while the East Coast faces potential weather disturbances on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. According to predictions, a low-pressure system will bring rain to the Southeast early Thursday, moving toward the Northeast. The Northeast corridor from Boston to New York might see rainy and breezy conditions, with possible snow in areas like northern New Hampshire, northern Maine, and the Adirondacks.
Meteorologist Hayden Frank from Massachusetts indicated that, unless temperatures drop significantly, rain is expected along the I-95 corridor, advising travelers to prepare accordingly. He expects favorable driving conditions for Sunday return travel nationwide, though the East will cool down, and the West will warm.
The Pacific Northwest experienced fatalities following a “bomb cyclone” last Tuesday, which caused widespread power outages and damage. By Sunday evening, less than 25,000 people in the Seattle area remained without electricity.
Authorities found bodies in Sonoma County, California, confirming the persistence of flood risks and mudslide dangers in the region. These dangers were exacerbated by over 12 inches of rain around Santa Rosa.

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.

The Biden Department of Justice special counsel, Jack Smith, is moving to drop both federal prosecutions against President-elect Donald J. Trump. In a filing with U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, Smith writes “It has long been the position of the Department of Justice that the United States Constitution forbids the federal indictment and subsequent criminal prosecution of a sitting President.”
As of November 2024, Smith’s investigations into former President Donald Trump have cost taxpayers around $50 million. This figure encompasses expenses related to personnel, travel, rent, contractual services, and security measures. Previous special counsel investigations have incurred varying costs, with Robert Mueller’s confected investigation into “Russian interference” costing approximately $32 million over two years.
“After careful consideration, the Department has determined that OLC’s prior opinions concerning the Constitution’s prohibition on federal indictment and prosecution of a sitting President apply to this situation and that as a result this prosecution must be dismissed before the defendant is inaugurated,” Smith writes. However, the special counsel—who has overseen much of the Biden government’s lawfare against Trump adds: “That prohibition is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Government stands fully behind. ”
Smith notes: “The Government has conferred with defense counsel, who does not object to this motion.”
It is expected that Judge Chutkan will not oppose the motion, meaning the Washington, D.C. prosecution of Trump will likely soon be over. A second filing is expected in Florida to end the appellate proceedings following Judge Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the documents case.
It is unclear whether Smith intends to leave the United States and move back to the Hague in the Netherlands, where he was residing prior to the Biden-Harris government’s drafting of him as a lawfare tactic against Trump’s 2024 campaign.

Elon Musk is developing a new educational institution called Ad Astra, which is slated to operate in Bastrop County, Texas, for the 2024-25 academic year. It recently received an operational permit.
Ad Astra, translating to “to the stars” in Latin, aims to nurture the next generation of innovators with a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-oriented curriculum designed for children aged three to nine. The institution will be managed by Greg Marick, CEO of Xplor Education, known for its Montessori-inspired educational programs across the U.S.
Musk’s philanthropic organization, the X Foundation, has committed nearly $100 million to this project. This funding could serve as a foundation for potentially broadening Ad Astra’s educational offerings to include K-12 levels and possibly opening a university in Texas, depending on the program’s success.
This venture is not Musk’s foray into the education sector. In 2014, he launched an experimental school, also named Ad Astra, on the SpaceX campus, initially intended for his children and those of company employees. This original school evolved into Astra Nova, an online educational platform for ages 10 to 14 featuring a unique curriculum.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has called for the immediate dismissal of all U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) staff involved in cases against President-elect Donald J. Trump. In an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, Schmitt alleged that the DOJ was “weaponized” under President Joe Biden and that the Democrat administration targeted Trump and his allies in what is tantamount to political persecution.
“After the midterms, Joe Biden said that there was no way President Trump would ever be back in the White House,” Schmitt noted, adding: “After that speech, these zombie cases were resurrected.”
Sen. Schmitt argued that the cases, which he described as unfounded, unraveled under scrutiny, calling for accountability. When questioned by NBC’s Kristen Welker about potential prosecutions of those involved, Schmitt clarified he advocated for their firing instead.
The DOJ has pursued Trump over efforts to challenge the 2020 election outcome and accusations of improper handling of classified materials post-presidency. Special counsel Jack Smith, who led the investigations, is believed to be finalizing plans to conclude these cases by December 2, with expectations of resignations within his team ahead of Trump’s inauguration.
President-elect Trump has indicated he intends to dismiss DOJ staff who handled the cases against him, opting to instead redirect department resources towards cracking down on instances of voter fraud or incidents where local election officials outright ignore election laws, as was recently seen in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Schmitt’s call for the dismissal of the DOJ staff who targeted Trump echoes similar calls by former Attorney General Bill Barr and Democrat election attorney Thomas Goldstein, who have both called on the DOJ to drop their prosecutions of Trump. Both Barr and Goldstein contend the American people issued their own verdict by returning Trump to the White House.

A majority of Americans support President-elect Donald J. Trump’s plan for mass deportations to address the illegal immigration crisis in the United States, according to a new survey. Trump’s stance on deportations has enjoyed significantsupport among the populace since late Spring, and datasuggests the issue played a significant role in his landslide 2024 election victory.
The poll, conducted by YouGov on behalf of CBS, shows 57 percent of respondents supporting Trump’s deportation plan. However, Americans also appear wary of using U.S. military assets to remove illegal immigrants. According to the data, 82 percent of respondents said they want federal immigration and border patrol agencies to carry out the deportations. Meanwhile, 64 percent said they’d like to see federal law enforcement agencies involved. Forty percent said they would want the U.S. military involved in deportations.
Democratic respondents overwhelmingly express fear regarding threats to their rights under Trump. However, motivation to actively oppose his policies seems to have waned, with fewer Democrats feeling energized to contest his agenda compared to previous years.
The poll also indicates support—albeit more narrow—among Americans for Trump’s economic measures, particularly tariffs. Overall, 52 percent of respondents said they viewed Trump’s tariff plan as favorable, while 48 percent said they oppose the tariffs. Among self-identified Trump voters, the tariffs enjoy 83 percent support.

South Carolina Representative Nancy Mace responded to a protest by a transgender activist following an incident at a tech conference in Washington, D.C., as she is campaigning to ban transgenders from women’s bathrooms. Evan Greer, director of Fight for Freedom, interrupted Mace during her appearance at the “Summit on the Future of the Internet” held at Georgetown University.
The protest was in opposition to Mace’s proposed legislation, which prevents transgender women from accessing women’s facilities on Capitol Hill. During the interruption, Greer accused Mace of spreading misinformation that contributes to violence against transgenders, citing the deaths of several transgenders this year. Greer was removed by security.
Mace later shared video footage of the incident on social media. She reiterated her belief in restricting transgender women from using female-only spaces, saying of Greer: “God loves him, I love him—but his penis isn’t gonna be in my bathroom.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson recently affirmed that facilities in the Capitol complex are designated solely for use by individuals of the corresponding biological sex. He noted that private restrooms and unisex facilities are available.
Mace’s proposed ban on men in women’s facilities, the Protecting Women’s Private Spaces Act, has outraged gender ideologues. Trans activist “Venus Andromeda” threatened to kill the Republican congresswoman, posting an image on Instagram with the text “prepare to die” and fantasizing about beating her to death in a women’s restroom.
