An artificial intelligence (AI) assistant developed by Meta, the parent company of Facebook, inaccurately claimed that former President Donald J. Trump was not shot earlier this month, fueling leftist conspiracy theories over Trump’s attempted assassination. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg called Trump‘s immediate reaction to being shot “badass” and inspiring, a statement which contradicts the company’s AI assistant.
In a blog post on Tuesday, Meta’s global head of policy, Joel Kaplan, attributed the AI’s error to its tendency to “hallucinate,” a term used within the industry to describe the generation of false information. “Like all generative AI systems, models can return inaccurate or inappropriate outputs, and we’ll continue to address these issues and improve these features as they evolve and more people share their feedback,” Kaplan claimed.

Meta decided to suppress its AI assistant’s ability to provide information on the incident involving Trump in reaction to massive criticism. Facebook previously censored the iconic photo of Trump raising his fist after being shot in Butler, Pennsylvania, falsely labeling it an altered image.
Meta is not alone in grappling with AI inaccuracies. Google also faced backlash for its AI’s failure to properly handle news about the assassination attempt, leading to claims of censorship. Users noted earlier this week that Google searches for information on the attempted assassination of former President Trump refused to autofill.
Tech billionaire and X owner Elon Musksuggested, sarcastically, that it may just be a coincidence that executives at Google’s parent company, Alphabet, are top donors to Democrats.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The dispute unfolded on Tuesday, with statements made on social media and during press interactions.
💬KEY QUOTE: “You torpedoed this siding with Jamie Raskin. You said you would fix it, so fix it.” – Elise Stefanik
🎯IMPACT: The controversy threatens Republican unity on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), with Stefanik and others pledging to oppose the bill without the provision’s inclusion.
IN FULL
Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) blasted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday, accusing the Republican leader of siding with Democrats to protect the intelligence community from accountability. Stefanik expressed her frustration over the potential removal of a provision she supports from the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which aims to prevent the illegal weaponization of federal agencies.
“The Speaker is blocking my provision to root out the illegal weaponization that led to Crossfire Hurricane, Arctic Frost, and more. He is siding with Jamie Raskin against Trump Republicans to block this provision to protect the deep state,” Rep. Stefanik wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday. “This is an easy one. This bill is DOA unless this provision gets added in as it was passed out of committee,” she warned.
The amendment seeks to mandate that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) notify Congress when investigations into presidential or other federal candidates are launched.
Stefanik’s allegations mark a rare and public challenge by a member of Speaker Johnson’s leadership team. The House Speaker quickly pushed back against the New York congresswoman’s claims. “All of that is false. I don’t exactly know why Elise won’t just call me. I texted her yesterday,” Johnson said just before noon on Tuesday. “She’s upset one of her provisions is not being made, I think, into the NDAA… As soon as I heard this yesterday, I was campaigning in Tennessee, and I wrote her and said, ‘What are you talking about?’ This hasn’t even made it to my level.”
Johnson says the provision may be passed through other legislative mechanisms, but the exact plan and details remain unclear. Despite his attempts to reassure House Republicans, opposition to the NDAA now appears to be mounting. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has also pledged to vote against the defense bill if Stefanik’s provision is excluded. With Johnson only able to lose a handful of votes, the path to adoption for the NDAA is increasingly precarious, and its defeat would be a significant legislative blow and political humiliation for the Speaker.
“Just more lies from the Speaker,” Stefanik wrote in reaction to Johnson’s claims. “This is not regular order. Regular order is a Members’ provision that passed out of committee should be heard on the floor and not struck down by a Democrat minority member in a closed door meeting.”
“My provision passed out of the House Intelligence Committee which is the committee of jurisdiction. You torpedoed this siding with Jamie Raskin,” she alleged, adding: “You said you would fix it, so fix it.”

IN FULL
Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, 30, who arrived in the U.S. during the former Biden government’s Operation Allies Welcome—conducted as part of its shambolic withdrawal from Afghanistan—has been federally charged with transmitting a threatening communication in interstate commerce. Alokozay, residing in Fort Worth, Texas, allegedly threatened to “build a bomb,” “conduct a suicide attack,” and kill Americans, according to U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould.
Raybould stated that Alokozay posted a video to social media in which he was seen “angrily gesturing and speaking Dari” while discussing plans with others. The video also referenced the use of a type of cooking oil container commonly utilized by the Taliban to construct improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan. Alokozay reportedly admitted he came to the U.S. with the intent to kill the people on the call and carry out a suicide attack on Americans.
Alokozay entered the U.S. in 2021 as a lawful permanent resident under the Biden government’s resettlement program following the evacuation of U.S. forces and supposed allies from Kabul. Concerns over vetting procedures have been raised, particularly after another Afghan evacuee, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, attacked two West Virginia National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C, killing one and leaving the other in critical condition.
Attorney General Pam Bondi criticized the Biden government’s vetting process, stating, “The public safety threat created by the Biden administration’s vetting breakdown cannot be overstated.” She added that the Department of Justice (DOJ) would continue working with federal and state partners to address these threats. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Dallas Field Office head, R. Joseph Rothrock, credited public reports of the video for enabling authorities to act swiftly in apprehending Alokozay.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Vincent Mazzurco is prosecuting the case, and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force remains involved in the investigation.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Beginning Tuesday night, impacting regions from Maine to Nebraska, with the Midwest and Great Plains particularly affected.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The cold the first week of December is the appetizer and the main course will be in mid-December.” – Judah Cohen
🎯IMPACT: Dangerous cold, crashes, school closures, and snowstorms already affecting millions, with more to come.
IN FULL
Winter weather warnings have been issued across 30 states as a polar vortex prepares to bring some of the coldest temperatures on Earth to the United States. The National Weather Service has issued advisories, warning of extreme temperatures that could feel as low as -30°F, along with potential snowstorms.
A polar vortex is a large, low-pressure system of cold air that typically resides above the North Pole. Normally held in place by strong winds, this vortex has been disrupted by storms and high-pressure systems, sending icy Arctic air southward into the U.S., potentially chilling 235 million Americans.
Winter storms are expected to stretch from Maine to Nebraska, with wind chills making temperatures feel as low as -10 to -30°F in regions like the Midwest and Great Plains. The storm system has already caused significant disruptions, including crashes and school closures in Missouri, over a foot of snow in Iowa, and poor visibility for drivers in New York.
The East Coast is bracing for similar conditions, with areas such as Albany already experiencing cold weather. Several states in the Midwest, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan, are also facing snowstorms and temperatures dropping into the single digits. A 45-car pileup on Interstate 70 in Indiana over the weekend highlighted the dangers, though no serious injuries were reported.
Judah Cohen, a climatologist and research scientist at MIT, stated, “My thinking is that the cold the first week of December is the appetizer and the main course will be in mid-December.” He noted that computer models predict the most extreme cold will stretch from the Canadian Plains to the U.S. East Coast in the third week of December, though snow predictions remain uncertain beyond a few days.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It is better to search for ways of dialogue, or perhaps pressure, including economic pressure.” – Pope Leo
🎯IMPACT: The Pope’s comments could influence international discourse on the Trump administration’s approach to Venezuela and its leadership.
IN FULL
Pope Leo XIV has urged the Trump administration not to resort to military action to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from power, recommending dialogue or economic sanctions as preferable ways to seek political change in the country.
The Trump administration has been weighing different approaches to confront Maduro’s role in funneling narcotics into the United States—a charge the Venezuelan leader firmly rejects.
Speaking to reporters while returning from his inaugural foreign trip, which took him to Turkey and Lebanon, the American-born pontiff directly addressed the prospect of armed intervention: “I truly believe that it is better to look for ways of dialogue, maybe pressure, including economic pressure, but looking another way to change, if that is what they want to do in the United States.”
Later, the pontiff also scolded “people who are against immigration and trying to keep out people who may be from another country, another religion, another race,” urging Western countries to be “a little less fearful” of migrants.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Glasgow City Council, Councillor Christina Cannon, and Glasgow children, parents, and teachers.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The latest data was revealed in December 2025, focusing on primary schools in Glasgow, Scotland.
💬KEY QUOTE: “We have seen an explosion in the number of children who need English as an additional language support.” – Councillor Christina Cannon
🎯IMPACT: Schools are struggling with stretched resources, cultural divides, and concerns over integration and education standards.
IN FULL
New figures from Glasgow, Scotland‘s largest city and Britain’s “asylum capital,” show that 31 percent of primary (elementary) school pupils now require support for English as an additional language (EAL). That represents a 24 percent rise since 2020, with Arabic, Polish, Urdu, and Punjabi among the most commonly spoken.
Glasgow City Council education lead Christina Cannon said the increase reflects waves of migration, including refugees from Syria, Ukraine, and Afghanistan, with Glasgow having far more asylum seekers dumped on it per capita than any other city in the United Kingdom.
“We have seen an explosion in the number of children who need English as an additional language support,” Cannon said, warning of severe strain despite expensive efforts such as hiring EAL coordinators in over 100 schools, with some schools forced to rely on tools like Google Translate for parent-teacher meetings.
One parent described her child’s class as having “15 different languages—it’s wonderful in theory, but [my son is] struggling because the teacher spends half the day translating.” Others worry that children are forming cliques rather than mixing across backgrounds.
Murdo Fraser, a Conservative Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP)—roughly equivalent to a U.S. state legislature—warns “parallel societies” may begin forming, as in certain areas in London, where integration has failed and social tensions have grown.
England, which is more diverse than Scotland overall, also faces substantial issues in its schools, with White British students being in the minority at one in four schools. At least 72 schools have no White British students at all, and they comprise less than two percent of the student body in a further 474 schools.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The corporate media falsely reported that Costco is suing to overturn President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs on Tuesday. In reality, the company is seeking the right to recoup import duties paid, should the tariffs be overturned in a separate case before the Supreme Court.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Costco, the corporate media, President Trump, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday, December 2, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “RETAIL REVOLT: The wholesale giant is suing the federal government to strike down President Trump’s emergency tariffs and recover funds the retailer says it was improperly required to pay on imported goods,” Fox News claimed in an inaccurate report.
🎯IMPACT: The retail giant could see a significant revenue boost should the courts agree that the tariffs are unconstitutional and that the tariffs already paid can be recouped from the federal government.
IN FULL
Costco is not suing the federal government in an effort to overturn tariffs imposed by President Donald J. Trump, despite claims by the corporate media—including Fox News. While the major U.S. retailer has filed a lawsuit, the legal action aims to ensure the company can recoup money already paid in import duties should an unrelated case currently under consideration by the Supreme Court result in Trump’s tariffs being declared unconstitutional.
Major corporate media outlets on Tuesday erroneously claimed Costco’s lawsuit was essentially the same as the current Supreme Court case. Fox News, in a post on X (formerly Twitter), declared, “RETAIL REVOLT: The wholesale giant is suing the federal government to strike down President Trump’s emergency tariffs and recover funds the retailer says it was improperly required to pay on imported goods.” This was accompanied by a graphic stating, “Costco files federal lawsuit challenging Trump’s emergency tariff orders on imported goods.”

However, the lawsuit does not directly challenge the tariffs. Instead, Costco is seeking relief—including from a December 15 liquidation deadline on tariff revenues—to ensure it can recoup the monies it has paid on import duties should the Supreme Court rule that President Trump’s tariffs are unconstitutional. The lawsuit is necessary as it is unlikely—if not impossible—that the high court will hand down a decision before the December liquidation deadline.
The best way to understand Costco’s legal action is in the context of a refund, which is what the retailer is essentially suing to guarantee a right to. Consider an individual who pays local property taxes, and a separate lawsuit results in the city’s property assessments being overturned by a court. The property owner, in theory, should have a right to recoup the property taxes that the city government unlawfully collected. This is essentially what Costco is seeking, but for potentially unlawful import duties.

💬KEY QUOTE: “How many more senseless tragedies must take place before sanctuary politicians stop allowing illegal aliens to dangerously operate semi-trucks on America’s roads?” – Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
🎯IMPACT: The incident highlights ongoing concerns over illegal immigrants operating commercial vehicles and the policies—especially in California—enabling it.
IN FULL
Rajinder Kumar, a 32-year-old illegal immigrant from India, was arrested after a semi-truck he was driving jackknifed and collided with a vehicle in Bend, Oregon, on November 24. The crash killed William Carter and his wife, Jennifer Lower, who were newlyweds. Federal authorities have revealed that Kumar was in the United States illegally, having been released into the country by the former Biden government.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) disclosed that Kumar was issued a commercial driver’s license in California under Governor Gavin Newsom‘s (D-CA) administration and granted work authorization in 2023. An immigration detainer has now been lodged against Kumar following his arrest.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated, “Rajinder Kumar, a criminal illegal alien from India, was released into our country under the Biden administration and issued a commercial driver’s license by [California Governor] Gavin Newsom’s Department of Motor Vehicles. How many more senseless tragedies must take place before sanctuary politicians stop allowing illegal aliens to dangerously operate semi-trucks on America’s roads?”
This incident is the latest in a series of fatal crashes involving illegal immigrants from India operating commercial vehicles. In August, Harjinder Singh, another illegal migrant, was arrested in Florida after a wreck that left three people dead. That same month, Partap Singh, also in the U.S. illegally, was accused of causing a multi-car pileup in California that severely injured a five-year-old. In October, Jashanpreet Singh, another illegal migrant, was arrested for an alleged drunken crash in California that killed three people.
“Our prayers are with William and Jennifer’s families,” McLaughlin said, adding, “ICE will continue its efforts to get illegal alien truck drivers off America’s highways.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 2, 2025, in the Caribbean Sea.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Pete said he did not order the death of those two men. And I believe him.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: Investigations by lawmakers on Capitol Hill are underway to determine whether the strike violated laws of war.
IN FULL
Democrat lawmaker allegations that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth authorized a so-called “double tap strike” against a Venezuelan cartel drug boat on September 2 appear to have no basis in fact. New evidence suggests that while Hegseth did authorize the drug boat strike, his orders did not specify any actions against potential survivors—despite claims made by Democrats on Capitol Hill based on reporting by The Washington Post.
The new evidence shows that Admiral Frank Bradley, the head of U.S. Special Operations Command, approved both the initial strike and follow-up actions. It appears the secondary strikes were targeting large pieces of wreckage and were not intended to eliminate survivors.
Allegations that the Secretary of War had given the order to “kill everybody” following the initial strike were first reported by The Washington Post last Friday. President Donald J. Trump, speaking aboard Air Force One on Sunday, dismissed the report, stating, “He said he did not say that, and I believe him 100 percent. I wouldn’t have wanted that, not a second strike.” Now, five U.S. officials have confirmed to The New York Times that Hegseth did not order such a strike.
On Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, “President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated narcoterrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes in question on September 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes.” She added that Bradley acted within his authority and the law to ensure the vessel was destroyed.
Hegseth has backed Bradley, writing on social media, “Let’s make one thing crystal clear: Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100 percent support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made—on the September 2 mission and all others since.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced in Parliament on Tuesday, the reforms target the criminal court system in England and Wales, which is facing a backlog of over 78,000 cases.
💬KEY QUOTE: “I will create new swift courts within the Crown Court with a judge alone deciding verdicts in trial[s]… with a likely sentence of three years or less,” Lammy said.
🎯IMPACT: Critics warn the far-left Labour Party government’s “reforms” erode centuries-old traditional civil liberties.
IN FULL
Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has confirmed a package of “reforms” introducing so-called “swift courts,” which will eliminate the right to a trial by jury in thousands of cases. Instead, a judge sitting alone will decide guilt for offenses likely to carry a sentence of up to three years’ imprisonment.
The plans draw on recommendations from the Lord Chief Justice, Sir Brian Leveson, and are justified on the grounds that the Crown Courts are facing a backlog of more than 78,000 cases. Deputy Prime Minister Lammy, who also serves as Lord Chancellor and Justice Secretary in Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party government, told Parliament, “The changes I’m proposing will require legislation” and “take time to implement.”
The proposals have met strong opposition. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick, of the formerly governing Conservatives, branded them “twisted,” arguing that Lammy is “depriving British citizens of ancient liberties.”
Some judges and lawyers are also concerned, with Judge Jane Miller KC stressing the value of juries for their “objectivity,” and former Law Society president Richard Atkinson noting that Labour’s reforms “only paper over the cracks” of deeper problems. Many fear that removing juries from these cases risks miscarriages of justice and could erode public trust in the courts.
Separately, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) plans to grant lay magistrates greater sentencing powers, raising the current limit from 12 months to 18 months, with a possible future increase to 24 months.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Climate change alarmists and the corporate media.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 until November 30, with its peak usually in September.
🎯IMPACT: In August, Colorado State University—which is known for its severe weather forecasting program—projected a slightly above average hurricane season, with nine total hurricanes and four major ones. Notably, the actual number of storms fell far short of this.
IN FULL
For the first time in a decade, not a single hurricane made landfall in the continental United States during hurricane season. Running from June 1 to November 30, the Atlantic hurricane season, on average, sees 1.62 hurricanes make landfall along the United States’ Gulf of America coast or Atlantic coast. The absence of landfalls and, more importantly, the lack of significant storms, except for one, has left climate alarmists and the corporate media puzzled.
For decades, members of the scientific community and so-called climate change experts have insisted that increasing global temperatures—allegedly caused by human activities—would result in an increase in powerful Atlantic hurricanes and landfalls along the United States coast. While there have been sporadic years of increased activity, in 2025, the Gulf of America and the Atlantic coast were incredibly quiet. For the past five years, hurricane season has been very active, with the United States seeing 17 hurricane landfalls.
The Caribbean experienced one powerful Category 5 storm, Hurricane Melissa, which unfortunately struck Jamaica, causing significant destruction. Two other Category 5 storms never made landfall and were isolated far out to sea.
AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter claims the United States avoided hurricane landfalls due to “unique atmospheric conditions” and “a lot of luck.” However, in August, Colorado State University—which is known for its severe weather forecasting program—projected a slightly above average hurricane season, with nine total hurricanes and four major ones. Notably, the actual number of storms fell far short of this.
It is not just Atlantic hurricanes on which climate change alarmists have been wrong. The National Pulse reported in June 2024 that several Pacific islands, which climate alarmists had projected would experience significant land loss due to rising sea levels, have actually either expanded their land area or remained stable. Only 11 percent of the islands have seen a reduction in land area.
The lack of apocalyptic environmental changes appears to have caused even some top climate change alarmists to lose interest. In October, billionaire globalist Bill Gates announced that he no longer believes climate change will result in humanity’s demise, urging world leaders instead to shift their focus toward addressing poverty and diseases like malaria. In an open letter, Gates criticized the United Nations’ emphasis on short-term emission targets, instead advocating for improving living conditions and health outcomes globally.
