A former World Trade Center worker who “narrowly escaped” the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks has been beaten to death by three teens — one of whom was just 12 at the time of the attack, according to officials. Long Island native Roger Borkum, 64, was found “severely beaten” just before midnight on Oct. 19 in Downtown Jacksonville, FL., after three teens were seen “kicking and stomping” him, according to an arrest report from the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. He was found with blood “pooled” around his head — and a “blood trail extending down the sidewalk,” the arrest report said. The attackers were seen “rummaging” through Borkum’s backpack — and then returned around 20 minutes later, kicking him “multiple” times, the report said. In total, the same suspects were seen “battering the victim three separate times,” the police docs said. Borkum, a widower who was homeless at the time, died four days later of his injuries. more at https://nypost.com/2025/11/27/us-news/wtc-worker-who-escaped-9-11-beaten-to-death-by-three-teens-cops/

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — A Virginia Beach City Public Schools assistant principal and his brother have been arrested for threats made against police and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. According to police, John Bennett, 54, and his brother, Mark Bennett, 59, were arrested Wednesday for threatening to commit acts of violence against local police, as well as ICE agents. John Bennett was arrested in Virginia Beach at 10:47 a.m. and Mark Bennett was arrested at Norfolk International Airport at 9:42 a.m., with the assistance of airport police. Both have been charged with one count of conspiracy to commit malicious wounding. Court documents reveal that the brothers were overheard talking by an off-duty Norfolk Police officer at a restaurant, and it was there that an assault rifle was mentioned with the ability to use explosive rounds that could penetrate protective vests. Mark Bennett was also heard saying he would fly to Las Vegas to meet with likeminded people and how he would return with “enforcement ideas and plans.” more at https://myfox8.com/news/virginia/virginia-assistant-principal-brother-accused-of-threatening-ice/

X's new geolocation tool is exposing waves of social media influencing by unknown foreign powers. Last weekend, X released the geolocation of major and influential accounts and discovered fake postings from sites claiming to be U.S.-based. Notably, many were so-called "MAGA" accounts that appeared to support President Donald Trump and his policies, but often posted critically of Israel and Ukraine. "I have long said foreign actors are using social media to poison our politics and divide Americans," former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley posted on X. "The location feature on X is a huge win for transparency and American security." For example, the X account "ULTRAMAGA 🇺🇸 TRUMP🇺🇸2028," says it's in Washington, but actually operates from Nigeria. Another account boldly declared its name as "Trump Is My President" — but is based in Macedonia. more at https://www.newsmax.com/politics/x-social-media-israel/2025/11/25/id/1236008/

i've saved myself a lot of headaches during thanksgiving and christmas by always discussing politics and religion......

my thoughts are what she stated to cbp upon entry.........

"None of my clients have any arrests or criminal history that are in this situation. These are just cases where they entered legally, they overstayed their visa, all of my cases right now are people that have been married to U.S. citizens, so these are spouses of U.S. citizens that are going through the normal process, the normal channels, and they're being taken into custody," Nasseri said. the above sounds like they came on a tourist visa, overstayed, got married - and are now being deported.

Travel expenses jumped 2,467% from 2021 as just 30.5% of students grades 3-8 show reading proficiency A scathing report from the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) revealed that the school system spent a staggering $14.5 million in "excessive" travel expenses in FY 2023 and FY 2024 combined. The report comes as data shows that just 30.5% of students in grades 3–8 were proficient in reading, and just 18.3% of students were proficient in math in the spring of 2024. "It is a sad commentary on just how far our city has fallen and how bad the leadership is," Chicago pastor Corey Brooks told Fox News Digital. "These individuals believe that spending money on themselves benefits our educational system more so than spending it on the children who so rightfully deserve it." "In our neighborhood, there's a 6% reading proficiency," Brooks added. "And now you're talking about the overall for Chicago being 30%, that is something that needs to be spoken by everyone who is in power." more at https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-public-schools-blow-millions-travel-expenses-while-students-cant-read-grade-level

Friday, November 21, 2025 Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of the Fugees was sentenced on Thursday to 14 years in prison for a case in which he was convicted of illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. Michel, 52, declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly sentenced him. In April 2023, a federal jury convicted Michel of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The trial in Washington, D.C., included testimony from actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Justice Department prosecutors said federal sentencing guidelines recommended a life sentence for Michel, whom they said “betrayed his country for money” and “lied unapologetically and unrelentingly to carry out his schemes.” more at https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/prakazrel-pras-michel-rapper/2025/11/21/id/1235487/

from what i have found, local judges (example: local magistrate of podunk town, new jersey) cannot administer the oath, it has to be a federal judge. the only oath ceremony i went to, a federal judge gave the oath to new citizens. so this may be a good thing to prevent immigration fraud.

A Miami grand jury indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., on charges of allegedly stealing millions of dollars in disaster relief funds to make illegal campaign contributions, the Department of Justice said Wednesday. According to the indictment, the Florida Democrat allegedly conspired to steal $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) funds alongside her brother Edwin Cherfilus and numerous co-defendants. Prosecutors alleged that the defendants routed the funds through multiple accounts to disguise their source and that a significant portion of the misappropriated funds were used as candidate contributions to Cherfilus-McCormick’s 2021 congressional campaign or for their personal benefit. more at https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-congresswoman-indicted-particularly-selfish-alleged-theft-fema-relief-funds-campaign-use

BOISE, Idaho — Boise's North End community is mourning this week, after an 8-year-old child was struck and killed by a pickup on Tuesday. The Ada County Coroner identified the victim as Mora Gerety, aged 8. She was a student at Washington Elementary School in Boise. As previously reported by KTVB, Gerety was the victim of a pedestrian versus vehicle crash.
