The House Ethics Committee’s report concluded that former Rep. Matt Gaetz violated Florida’s statutory rape law by paying a 17-year-old for sex, one of at least 20 instances where he paid for sex or drugs. The investigation, which reviewed tens of thousands of dollars in personal transactions, revealed multiple violations of House rules, including the gift rule, related to sex with multiple women and drug use, primarily ecstasy, cocaine, and cannabis. While the committee found insufficient evidence to support federal sex trafficking charges, they determined substantial evidence existed to support multiple state law violations related to sexual misconduct. The report’s release followed Gaetz’s unsuccessful attempt to obtain a restraining order against the committee.

Russia’s actions, including the deployment of weapons supplied by North Korea and Iran, have caused over 12,000 Ukrainian civilian deaths and widespread destruction. This aggression necessitates continued international support for Ukraine’s self-defense and pursuit of a just peace, founded on the UN Charter’s principles. Only Russia’s complete withdrawal from Ukraine can resolve this conflict. The international community must reject Russia’s attempts to distort reality and uphold the truth.

Donald Trump is renewing his calls for the U.S. to purchase Greenland from Denmark, citing national security, a move met with immediate rejection from Greenland’s government. Simultaneously, he’s threatened to retake control of the Panama Canal due to rising shipping costs, despite the 1977 treaty transferring control to Panama. These actions, alongside suggestions of annexing Canada, are seen by some as a negotiating tactic to leverage concessions from allied nations, echoing his past business strategies. Greenland and Panama have both firmly rejected his claims.

Former Mossad agents have revealed a decade-long operation involving the planting of explosives within walkie-talkies and pagers, ultimately detonated earlier this year targeting Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon. The operation, they claim, served as a potent message to Israel’s enemies.
This audacious plan involved the sale of approximately 16,000 of these modified devices to Hezbollah over a sustained period, cleverly disguised as a legitimate commercial transaction. The agents emphasized the importance of a “good price” to ensure the successful infiltration of the target market.
Recognizing the prevalence of walkie-talkies in combat scenarios, the team expanded their efforts to include the development of exploding pagers, presenting a more covert delivery method.… Continue reading
