The Irish hamlet of Tipperary is set to be flooded with more migrants than currently live there in a government relocation scheme. The European Union (EU) member’s so-called Department of Integration previously moved hundreds of supposedly Ukrainian refugees into a local hotel, but now plans to replace them with non-Western migrants.
This move has triggered protests in Tipperary, where the local population of approximately 165 now faces the arrival of around 265 migrants, utterly transforming the village’s demographics.

The migrant population being relocated to Tipperary is reportedly comprised predominantly of single, military-age men.
Social mediareports claim additional migrant compounds are being established in rural Ireland. These sites are said to be guarded by government security, housing mostly military-age males from various countries. Some claim these areas resemble military camps, with no attempts at community integration.
Something very sinister is happening in Ireland.
Thousands of strange foreign men are being planted all around the country in sites which resemble military camps.
Earlier this month, protests erupted in Tipperary at the hotel that will be housing the migrants. Similar protests have taken place across Ireland.
Mass migration has been a major issue in the country in recent months, with riots last November following the stabbing of several children near a school in Dublin. Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) superstar Conor McGregor called on Irish people to destroy the hotels slated to house migrants, arguing that the country is at war.
Anti-mass migration protests have also swept the United Kingdom over recent weeks following the fatal stabbing of three young girls at a dance class in Southport, England. The suspect has an African migration background.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Fuyao Glass America, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Vitro Automotive Glass, Ohio government officials, and the Trump administration.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Fuyao Glass America was raided by federal authorities in 2024, and $126 million in civil forfeiture was seized in 2025 for illegal employment practices. Still, Fuyao Glass America continues to operate, and a number of Ohio glass companies may now be forced to close in 2026.
💬KEY QUOTE: “They say they want to make America great again—where’s our help?” Chandra Jarvis, a Vitro glassworker in Crestline, Ohio.
🎯IMPACT: The Trump administration is believed to be exploring a number of actions to crack down on foreign companies like Fuyao Glass America; however, these efforts could be derailed if President Donald J. Trump strikes a trade agreement with Beijing.
IN FULL
Outsourcing is no longer the only threat facing American workers, as the ongoing struggles of the Ohio domestic glass industry illustrate in the face of China’s Fuyao Glass America, which set up shop in the state over a decade ago. The glass industry has long been a cornerstone of the Ohio economy—with glass factories operating from Dayton to Cambridge—but the Fuyao situation has seen a foreign company backed by the former President Barack Obama, while receiving Chinese state subsidies and engaging in unlawful labor practices, devastate that industry, leaving Ohio workers asking, “Where’s our help?“
A key supplier to GM, Ford, and Stellantis, Fuyao Glass America, critics allege, threatens U.S. supply chains and has used illegal employment practices to undermine its competitors. Long-standing Ohio glass companies contend that Fuyao Glass America receives generous subsidies from Beijing, allowing the Chinese company to undercut the prices of its native competitors. The lack of federal action against Fuyao has frustrated Ohioans, with a number of the state’s long-standing glass companies facing closure.
“They say they want to make America great again—where’s our help?” Chandra Jarvis, a Vitro glassworker in Crestline, Ohio, said in a recent interview. Notably, the Trump administration is believed to be considering several steps—primarily on national security grounds—to curb the Chinese manufacturing presence in the United States. However, Ohio workers and, more broadly, national security critics of China worry that any federal action could be derailed if President Donald J. Trump strikes a trade deal with Beijing. Notably, Fuyao and other Chinese manufacturers have continued to operate despite federal scrutiny and widespread evidence of illegal activity.
The National Pulse reported in April 2025 that Fuyao Glass America was part of a broader federal investigation into a group of Chinese-owned manufacturers operating in a complex near Dayton, Ohio, accused of illegally importing workers from China. A total of $126 million in assets were seized by federal investigators, who allege the foreign workers, primarily of Chinese and Hispanic origin, were housed in accommodation owned by their employers and transported to work by them. According to authorities, roughly 40 entities were established to facilitate the employment of these people, who entered and stayed in the United States unlawfully or worked without necessary permits.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: A newly-disclosed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report reveals that Donald J. Trump was “one of the very first people to call [the police] when people found out that they were investigating Epstein,” advising them to focus on the pedophile financier’s “evil” associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who would later be convicted of sex trafficking minors.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald J. Trump, former Palm Beach police chief Michael Reiter, and deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s call to the police reportedly took place in July 2006, with the interview documented by the FBI in 2019.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: The call highlights Trump’s early involvement in calling out Epstein, while other public figures continued to be friendly with him even after his 2008 conviction for procuring a minor for prostitution.
IN FULL
A newly disclosed Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report from 2019, summarizing an interview with former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, reveals that Donald J. Trump was among the first to contact law enforcement in support of their early investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in the 2000s. According to the interview summary, Trump called the Palm Beach Police Department in July 2006—around the time details of the probe became public—to express his support for the efforts against Epstein. Reiter recounted that Trump said, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him, everyone has known he’s been doing this,” telling him that “people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting.”
“TRUMP was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating EPSTEIN,” the report stresses, adding that the then-future president described Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell as the pedophile’s “operative,” adding that “she is evil and to focus on her.” Maxwell would eventually be convicted of sex trafficking minors, among other serious crimes.
Trump told Reiter he had once seen Epstein around teenagers and promptly “got the hell out of there,” and recounted how he banned him from Mar-a-Lago. Virginia Giuffre, a high-profile Epstein victim linked to the now-former Prince Andrew, previously worked at Mar-a-Lago, where her father was a maintenance worker, and said Trump was “kind to her” and denied he was involved in any sexual impropriety or even flirting.
“It’s true that he didn’t partake in any sex with us… it’s not true that he flirted with me. Donald Trump never flirted with me,” she said.
Reiter, who oversaw the initial Palm Beach Police investigation into Epstein that began in 2005, clashed with local prosecutors over the case’s handling and later turned the evidence over to the FBI. He went public in 2006 to voice frustration with the situation.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Fox Varian, a 22-year-old detransitioner, and the medical professionals involved in her case.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The verdict was reached on January 30 in New York.
🎯IMPACT: The jury awarded Varian $1.6 million for pain and suffering and $400,000 for future medical expenses related to the gender transition, setting a precedent for other detransitioners.
IN FULL
A New York jury has found a surgeon and a psychologist liable for malpractice in a case brought by 22-year-old Fox Varian, who underwent a double mastectomy at age 16 after identifying as transgender. The jury awarded Varian $1.6 million in damages for pain and suffering and $400,000 for future medical expenses.
The verdict is being described as a landmark decision for detransitioners—people who stop or reverse a gender transition—who have historically struggled to pursue legal action over medical interventions they now regret. Supporters of the ruling say it signals a shift toward increased scrutiny of medical professionals who authorize or perform irreversible procedures on minors.
One detransitioner commenting on the outcome said, “This case is a huge leap … every doctor and clinic involved in this fad should be very afraid for what comes next.”
The case comes amid broader debate over the medical treatment of gender dysphoria, particularly in children and adolescents. Minors lack the capacity to give informed consent for such irreversible medical interventions.
Recent research has intensified the controversy. An extensive study cited by critics of surgical intervention found that transgender surgeries were not associated with improved mental health outcomes, such as reductions in depression or anxiety diagnoses, raising questions about long-term benefits.
The legal landscape is also shifting. In recent years, multiple states have enacted laws restricting or banning transgender medical treatments for minors. In one notable ruling, a judgeupheld a state ban on transgender medical procedures for minors, reinforcing the authority of states to regulate such care. Courts have increasingly deferred to lawmakers on the issue, citing ongoing scientific and ethical disagreements.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Jeffrey Epstein, King Charles III, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and Thames Valley Police.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The investigation was reignited following the recent release of documents by U.S. authorities, with public scrutiny intensifying during King Charles III’s visit to Lancashire.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct.” – Buckingham Palace spokesman.
🎯IMPACT: The scandal has brought renewed scrutiny on the monarchy and Westminster, with public protests and police investigations into related claims.
IN FULL
England’s Thames Valley Police are investigating claims that Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, one of the younger brothers of King Charles III and the former Duke of York, shared confidential trade envoy documents with deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein. The allegations follow the release of emails by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) suggesting Andrew may have provided sensitive official reports to Epstein, raising concerns about potential breaches of confidentiality.
Buckingham Palace has issued a statement, saying, “The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr Mountbatten‑Windsor’s conduct. While the specific claims in question are for Mr Mountbatten‑Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police we stand ready to support them as you would expect.”
During a recent visit to a railway station in Lancashire, King Charles III was confronted by a member of the public who shouted, “How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?” The King did not answer, and the crowd reacted with boos.
Recent DOJ disclosures concerning Epstein include emails suggesting that Andrew contacted Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s convicted associate, in 2001, asking if she had found him “some new inappropriate friends.” These messages have fueled scrutiny of his long-standing ties to Epstein and Maxwell.
In November 2025, Andrew was officially stripped of his royal titles and the style of “His Royal Highness” by King Charles, who is 77 and currently battling cancer. Andrew has also been evicted from the Royal Lodge and told to find private accommodation.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Senator Ted Cruz, Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy, local news companies Ruddy is trying to cripple, and Vice President J.D. Vance as a likely 2028 presidential candidate.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Cruz’s comments were reportedly made at a fundraiser late last year; Ruddy is set to testify before Cruz’s Senate committee on Tuesday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Neither [Chris Ruddy] nor Newsmax have made any pledge of support for any candidate in 2028,” said a Newsmax spokesman.
🎯IMPACT: Ruddy’s endorsement, if it materializes, could provide Cruz with a significant media platform, with Cruz possibly helping Ruddy’s efforts to prevent local news from competing with corporate national broadcasters.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) privately told donors that Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy would support a potential Cruz presidential campaign in 2028, according to a donor’s account. The comments were reportedly made as Ruddy was preparing to testify before Cruz’s Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation at a hearing titled “We Interrupt This Program: Media Ownership and the Digital Age.” Notably, Ruddy is currently seeking to sabotage a merger between Nexstar Media Group and TEGNA, crippling the ability of local news to compete with corporate national broadcasters.
The Newsmax CEO has emerged as a leading opponent of the proposed merger between Nexstar and Tegna, arguing the deal would exceed federal broadcast ownership limits and consolidate power among left-leaning media companies. However, Ruddy has denied making any commitment to Cruz, with a Newsmax spokesman saying, “Neither he nor Newsmax have made any pledge of support for any candidate in 2028.”
President Donald J. Trump has taken the opposite position to Ruddy on the merger, urging Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approval of the deal on Truth Social. “We need more competition against THE ENEMY, the Fake News National TV Networks,” he wrote.
Trump’s endorsement of the merger places Ruddy, in opposition, alongside far-left Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representatives Maxwell Frost and Summer Lee.
Cruz, who chairs the Senate committee overseeing communications policy, has not publicly staked out a position on the proposed merger. However, he has often criticized the FCC under President Trump’s appointees, criticizing FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr for questioning ABC’s broadcast license over comments by Jimmy Kimmel blaming conservatives for the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk.
Cruz is weighing a possible 2028 presidential run that would likely place him in a Republican primary against Vice President J.D. Vance as the de facto neoconservative throwback candidate. Cruz has privately criticized Vance, with leaked audio capturing him calling the Vice President a “pawn” of Tucker Carlson.
Vance, for his part, has said he plans to discuss a potential 2028 campaign with Trump after the midterm elections, while emphasizing that his current focus is governing.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The fraudulent actions took place over two years in Minnesota, with sentencing announced last week.
🎯IMPACT: Thomas was ordered to repay $325,159 in restitution to the United States Department of Agriculture.
IN FULL
Latasha Thomas, a 39-year-old Minnesota resident, has been sentenced to one year in federal prison after being convicted of mail fraud for orchestrating a scheme to steal benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Federal prosecutors said Thomas worked for more than two years with her daughter, Ambrosia Thomas, and another relative, Cynthia Thomas, to unlawfully obtain Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards funded through SNAP. Investigators said the group used fake Minnesota temporary driver’s licenses containing false names and photographs of the Thomases to apply for benefits through Hennepin County.
Prosecutors said the defendants also submitted fabricated medical documentation, falsely claiming they were women experiencing “high-risk pregnancies” in order to increase the amount of SNAP benefits loaded onto the cards each month. The EBT cards were mailed to an apartment in Roseville linked to Cynthia Thomas, who allegedly lived there under the alias Sofia Gold. Law enforcement later found mail addressed to multiple fictitious identities and notes instructing postal carriers to deliver items for those names to the same apartment.
Authorities said the fraudulently obtained SNAP funds were withdrawn from ATMs, used for purchases, or trafficked to others. Customers were allegedly charged between 50 and 60 percent of a card’s monthly balance in exchange for temporary access to the EBT cards, which were returned after an agreed portion of the benefits had been spent.
As part of her sentence, Latasha Thomas was ordered to pay $325,159 in restitution to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers SNAP at the federal level. Cynthia Thomas was convicted last year and sentenced to three years of probation. Ambrosia Thomas has agreed to plead guilty to mail fraud and is awaiting sentencing.
SNAP is a federally funded program designed to help low-income individuals and families afford food, with benefits issued monthly through EBT cards that can be used at authorized retailers. The program has faced increased scrutiny in recent years following multiple large-scale fraud investigations and federal findings that benefits were improperly issued in hundreds of thousands of cases, including to dead people. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has sought expanded access to state data to detect ineligible recipients, with Democrat state officials resisting.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Cuban aviation officials warned airlines of a fuel shortage on the island, forcing energy rationing and disrupting flights.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Cuban aviation officials, airlines, and U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The notice was issued on Sunday in Havana, Cuba, and confirmed by a pilot on Monday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “While refueling issues have occurred before, an official announcement of this scale is extraordinary even for an island accustomed to perpetual crisis.” – Anonymous pilot.
🎯IMPACT: Tourism and transportation in Cuba face significant challenges, with long-haul flights disrupted and fuel rationing affecting daily life.
IN FULL
Cuban aviation authorities have warned international airlines that the island may soon be unable to refuel aircraft, as Cuba’s deepening energy crisis spreads to the aviation sector. The notice was issued on Sunday and confirmed on Monday by a commercial pilot who spoke on condition of anonymity. The pilot described the situation as “extraordinary,” even by Cuban standards, noting that shortages have reached a level rarely seen despite the country’s long-running economic difficulties.
The warning comes as Cuba faces severe fuel rationing tied to reduced oil imports. The Trump administration has stepped up economic pressure on Havana, effectively cutting off access to key fuel supplies from allies such as Venezuela, where former Marxist dictator Nicolás Maduro has been ousted, and Mexico. An executive order signed by President Donald J. Trump in January imposed tariffs on goods from countries that provide oil to Cuba, further straining the island’s already fragile energy system.
Some airlines have already been forced to alter operations. Air Canada has suspended flights to Cuba, while other carriers are planning delays or technical stops in nearby countries, including the Dominican Republic, to refuel before continuing to or from Cuban airports. The disruptions threaten Cuba’s tourism sector, one of its most important sources of foreign currency.
The fuel shortage is affecting daily life across the island. Public transportation has been reduced, fuel sales are restricted and often priced in U.S. dollars, and major cultural events such as the Havana International Book Fair have been canceled. In a televised address, President Miguel Díaz-Canel warned citizens that additional austerity measures could be introduced as the crisis worsens.
Many Cubans have compared current conditions to the “Special Period” of the 1990s, when the collapse of Soviet support triggered widespread shortages. Now, residents face prolonged power outages, limited mobility, and difficulties obtaining basic goods, with no clear timeline for improvement.
U.S. officials have publicly suggested that Cuba’s prior dependence on Venezuelan oil leaves its communist regime vulnerable. The Trump administration aims to see major political change in Cuba by the end of the year, with the President recently saying the island’s leadership is nearing collapse.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Rep. Omar, her husband Timothy Mynett, and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).
📍WHEN & WHERE: The investigation centers on financial disclosures from 2023 onwards, with recent developments in Washington, D.C.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.” — Rep. Comer.
🎯IMPACT: The investigation means further scrutiny of Omar’s finances and ethical concerns involving the Somalia-born Democrat and her family.
IN FULL
The House Oversight Committee is examining a sharp rise in the reported value of two companies owned by Timothy Mynett, the husband of Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN), with concerns over potential influence-buying. According to the committee, Mynett’s firms, eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC, were valued at roughly $51,000 in 2023 but were disclosed as being worth as much as $30 million in 2024.
In a letter to Mynett, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) wrote, “Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife.” Comer also referenced media reports citing a 2021 allegation that Mynett promised a 200 percent return on a $300,000 investment in eStCru but did not repay the funds until after being sued for fraud in 2023
Rose Lake Capital, listed in Omar’s 2024 financial disclosure as a venture capital firm, also reported a substantial increase in value. Omar previously disclosed that her husband earned between $5,000 and $15,000 from eStCru and no income from Rose Lake Capital.
The Oversight Committee has requested financial statements, investor information, travel records, and other documents related to both companies. The inquiry comes as Omar continues to face political controversy, with President Donald J. Trump saying investigations involving her are also underway at the Department of Justice (DOJ).
In recent years, Omar has also been linked by critics to broader Minnesotafraud scandals involving the Somali community, including a major pandemic-era case in which a former political operative associated with her admitted guilt in a scheme involving federal child nutrition funds. Omar herself has not been charged with fraud.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” wrote Solicitor General John Sauer.
🎯IMPACT: The move signals a significant reversal in the five-year legal saga involving Bannon and the corrupt January 6 Select Committee.
IN FULL
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed requests with the Supreme Court and a federal judge to dismiss the criminal contempt indictment and conviction against WarRoom host Stephen K. Bannon. The department said the move would serve the “interests of justice,” a step that is uncommon but has occurred before.
In a filing to the Supreme Court, Solicitor General John Sauer stated that the government had concluded dismissal was appropriate based on prosecutorial discretion. “The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” Sauer wrote. The submission also indicated that the government had filed a motion in the district court to vacate the judgment and dismiss the indictment with prejudice.
The matter originated with a 2021 subpoena issued by the corrupt, Democrat-controlled House Select Committee investigating the January 6 protests, which sought documents and testimony from Bannon. However, President Donald J. Trump had invoked executive privilege, and as the former White House Chief Strategist, Bannon advised that he could not lawfully comply with the subpoena. This resulted in an indictment for contempt of Congress at the hands of the Biden government.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said of the move to vacate the conviction, “Today the Department of Justice told the Supreme Court that Steve Bannon’s conviction arising from the J6 ‘Unselect’ Committee’s improper subpoena should be vacated. Under the leadership of Attorney General Bondi, this Department will continue to undo the prior administration’s weaponization of the justice system.”
Legal wrangling over the J6 Committee finding Bannon in contempt, which led to a term in prison, have been ongoing since 2021. The DOJ’s recent filing emphasizes that federal rules allow dismissal even after a jury verdict and final judgment.

🎯IMPACT: The report proves a large majority of the illegals detained by ICE are known threats to the American public.
IN FULL
An internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document confirms that close to 60 percent of migrants arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during President J. Donald Trump’s first year back in office had prior criminal charges or convictions.
CBS News, which provided initial the initial coverage of the document, spun the statistics to argue that that “only” around 14 percent of around 400,000 of the illegals it covered had charges or convictions for violent criminal offenses, specifically—a still-significant 56,000 violent migrants—but this was likely reduced by plea deals, which often involve suspects initially arrested for multiple crimes, including violent crimes, agreeing to admit to a selection of less serious crimes in exchange for lighter charges.
The White House characterized CBS’s framing of the statistics as “Fake News,” stressing that crimes categorized as “non-violent” include serious offenses such as “[d]rug trafficking, human smuggling, child porn, fraud, DUI, burglary, etc.” The White House also stated that the share of arrested migrants with prior criminal charges or convictions is actually around 70 percent, not 60 percent.
“They’re CRIMINALS and they’re NOT welcome here,” the White House added.
Notably, crossing the U.S. border illegally is a criminal offense, meaning that any migrant arriving in the country by this method is a criminal. Overstaying a visa is only a civil violation, but it is often accompanied by criminal offenses, such as willful tax evasion.
