FBI Reports Fivefold Surge in Arrests Tied to NVE Networks Exploiting Children

By Mary Margaret Olohan | The Daily Wire “This FBI is fully engaged in dismantling NVE networks and violent groups like 764." WASHINGTON—The Federal Bureau of Investigation says it has seen a dramatic 490% increase in “Nihilistic Violent Extremism” arrests during the past fiscal year, The Daily Wire can first report — an almost fivefold increase in the 2025 fiscal year. These arrests are mostly associated with 764, an online network that preys on young children, The Daily Wire has learned. “Members of ‘764’ use known online social media communications platforms as mediums to support the possession, production, and sharing of extreme gore media and child sex abuse material with vulnerable, juvenile populations,” the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland ...

How to Help Parents Through the Unimaginable Pain of Losing a Child

By Jon Caldara | Commentary, Complete Colorado Had my daughter lived she would’ve just celebrated her 25th birthday. She died of a vicious form of cancer just days before her first birthday. She was our only child at the time. Twenty-four years later, I still have no way to express what it is like to be a parent one day and then not the next. I had no idea what terror was before that day. Her death is the seminal event of my life. The world changed, never to shift back. If you’ve lost a child, you get it. If not, I envy you. I am forever indebted to those who pulled me through. Many had lost children themselves. I have tried to pay them back by being there myself for grieving parents, particularly men. We men have been conditioned to bottle up our pain (we are rarely rewarde...

The devil’s roadmap to destroy the next generation, revealed in a stark AI response

By Jonathan Haidt | Commentary, The Free Press I asked ChatGPT how it would destroy America’s youth. Its answers were unsettling—and all too familiar. Earlier this year, someone started a viral trend of asking ChatGPT this question: If you were the devil, how would you destroy the next generation, without them even knowing it? Chat’s responses were profound and unsettling: “I wouldn’t come with violence. I’d come with convenience.” “I’d keep them busy. Always distracted.” “I’d watch their minds rot slowly, sweetly, silently. And the best part is, they’d never know it was me. They’d call it freedom.” As a social psychologist who has been trying since 2015 to figure out what on earth was happening to Gen Z, I was stunned. Why? Because what the AI proposed doing is pretty m...

FBI Investigates Democrats After Video on ‘Illegal Orders’ Sparks National Tension

By: Joey Cappelletti and Mike Householder | KDVR FOX31 WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Jason Crow, who appeared in a social media video urging U.S. troops to defy “illegal orders” say the FBI has contacted them to begin scheduling interviews, signaling a possible inquiry into the matter. It would mark the second investigation tied to the video, coming a day after the Pentagon said it was reviewing Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over potential violations of military law. The FBI and Pentagon actions come after President Donald Trump accused the lawmakers of sedition “punishable by DEATH” in a social media post. “President Trump is using the FBI as a tool to intimidate and harass Members of Congress,” Crow and other Democratic House members said in a&nb...

Two-Step Opt Out Needed to Block Google AI From Your Emails

By: Lucas Nolan and Colin Madine | Breitbart Google has quietly started accessing Gmail users’ private emails and attachments to train its AI models, requiring manual opt-out to avoid participation. To make the process even trickier, Gmail users have to opt out in two separate places for the change to work. Follow these steps to protect your privacy from Google’s invasive AI endeavors. Malwarebytes reports that Google has recently implemented changes that enable Gmail to access all private messages and attachments for the purpose of training its AI models. This means that unless users take action to opt out, their emails could be analyzed to improve Google’s AI assistants, such as Smart Compose or AI-generated replies. The motivation behind this change is Google’s...

Marijuana Addiction Rising, But Demand for Treatment Declining

By Laura Ungar | AP News Megan Feller smoked pot several times a day and couldn’t eat, sleep or function without it. But at the time, she didn’t see the need to reach out for help. “I didn’t think cannabis was a big deal,” the 24-year-old said. “It was really socially accepted.” This attitude is common. As more states legalize marijuana, use has become more normalized and products have become more potent. But fewer of those who are addicted seek help for it. Pot use among young adults reached historic levels in recent years, according to a federally supported survey. Daily use even outpaced daily drinking, with nearly 18 million Americans reporting in 2022 that they use marijuana every day or nearly every day, up from less than 1 million three deca...

Joy Reid discovers the Y in XY stands for “Yikes!” when she envisions locker-room reality

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Joy Reid, the fired MSNBC commentator who swung from defining women as ‘a social construct’ and invoking Nazi Germany when anyone challenged transgender orthodoxy, now says she would “freak out” if she found a man in a women’s locker room. https://twitter.com/TheFive/status/1991506817138999298?s=20 A belated moment of honesty, it seems, yet it only underscores how privileged it is to hold ideological positions until they actually affect you. That’s the essence of one of the left’s modern pastimes – virtue signaling. Nothing reveals the hollowness of progressive politics faster than the moment when theory collides with biology. In a clip shared widely on X/Twitter, Reid admitted that yes, if she walked into the ...

Tyson Plant Closure Leaves Nebraska Town Bracing for Economic Shock

By: Josh Funk | KDVR FOX31 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Tyson Foods’ decision to close a beef plant that employs nearly one third of residents of Lexington, Nebraska, could devastate the small city and undermine the profits of ranchers nationwide. Closing a single slaughterhouse might not seem significant, but the Lexington plant employs roughly 3,200 people in the city of 11,000 and has the capacity to slaughter some 5,000 head of cattle a day. Tyson also plans to cut one of the two shifts at a plant in Amarillo, Texas, and eliminate 1,700 jobs there. Together those two moves will reduce beef processing capacity nationwide by 7-9%. Consumers may not see prices change much at the grocery store over the next six months because all the cattle that are now being prepared for slaughter will sti...

New X.com Feature Reveals Surge of Overseas Operators Pushing Misinformation

By Dmitri Bolt | Townhall Elon Musk’s company, X, recently launched a new feature on Friday that reveals the country of origin for every user account. The update is already raising eyebrows, offering a glimpse into how foreign-operated accounts may be using the platform to push misinformation on what has become one of the most politically consequential social media sites. Many of the accounts based in foreign countries are pretending to represent the America First agenda. https://twitter.com/authorrochelle/status/1992635515573580190?s=20 For example, an account called "@1776General_" which describes the owner as a "constitutionalist, patriot and ethnically American," with over 140,000 followers, is based in Turkey. The owner posted that they work in international business, an...

Campbell’s Soup Executive Benched After Lawsuit Alleges Mockery of Customers and Coworkers

By: Christina Shaw | FOX Business Martin Bally placed on temporary leave as company conducts internal investigation following lawsuit. Accusations are making their rounds after a Campbell Soup Company executive allegedly made disparaging comments regarding the company’s customers and employees. The executive was secretly recorded during a meeting, according to a lawsuit filed in Michigan’s Wayne County Circuit Court. The suit, filed by Robert Garza, a former cybersecurity analyst for Campbell Soup, accuses Martin Bally, the company’s vice president and chief information security officer, of making the offensive comments during a meeting in November 2024. Garza recorded the conversation, which he said took place at the company’s headquarters in Camden, New Jersey,...
