‘Everything Is On the Table’: Trump Admin Weighs Terror Sanctions for UNRWA
The Trump administration says that “everything is on the table”—including terrorism-related sanctions—as it moves closer to taking fresh punitive measures against the Hamas-linked United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), according to three senior officials, who told the Washington Free Beacon that the aid group’s “time playing a role in Gaza is over.”

EXCLUSIVE: Covert Israeli-Taiwan Meetings Aim To ‘Counter Chinese Axis of Evil’
JERUSALEM—Israeli lawmakers over the past two weeks covertly held a series of meetings with senior Taiwanese officials, seeking to strengthen bilateral cooperation and counter the growing menace of China.
Ohad Tal, a member of the governing Religious Zionism party and the Knesset’s powerful Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, met in Taipei between Sunday and Wednesday with Taiwan’s vice president, Hsiao Bi-khim; foreign minister, Lin Chia-lung; and other top diplomats. Taiwan’s deputy foreign minister, Francois Wu, led a delegation to Jerusalem last Tuesday. He huddled with Tal and Michael Biton of the opposition Blue and White party.

Second grand jury declines to indict Letitia James
A federal grand jury refused to indict Letitia James on mortgage charges after the Dept. of Justice refiled the case against the New York attorney general.
James had been accused of making false statements on mortgage documents in order to obtain favorable financial terms and had the charges dismissed from a different grand jury.
‘Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.’
Prosecutors said James claimed a home purchased in 2020 to be a second home instead of an investment property, which would have allowed her to save about $19,000 in interest payments. She has denied all wrongdoing.
The prior charges were dismissed on the basis that the administration had unlawfully appointed the U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia.
“This unprecedented rejection makes even clearer that this case should never have seen the light of day,” said Abbe Lowell, an attorney representing James.
“Career prosecutors who knew better refused to bring it, and now two different grand juries in two different cities have refused to allow these baseless charges to be brought,” he added. “Any further attempt to revive these discredited charges would be a mockery of our system of justice.
President Donald Trump has called for James to resign over the allegations.
“Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote on social media. “Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”

James successfully convicted the president of lying about the values of his real estate holdings in order to secure favorable bank terms. He was ordered to pay nearly half a billion dollars in the civil fraud judgment, but the fine was struck down by a New York state appeals court in August.
The attorney general’s office signaled that it intended to file an appeal in the case.

Mother’s boyfriend allegedly beat her 3-year-old son to death — and officials say she turned a blind eye
Authorities allege that a Texas mother turned a blind eye to her boyfriend beating her 3-year-old son over a sustained period. Now the boy is dead — and his mother as well as her boyfriend are charged with capital murder.
An arrest warrant states that Christopher Alexander — the boyfriend of Chelsea Berg — brought 3-year-old Dawson Zamora to Medical City McKinney on Oct. 14, KFDA-TV reported.
‘Chelsea knew that Dawson was demonstrating signs of severe illness and physical deterioration, yet neglected to remove Dawson from the dangerous situation and failed to obtain appropriate care for his injuries.’
Medical staff determined the child was covered in “apparent physical injuries in various stages of healing” and immediately became concerned about intentional trauma or abuse, the station said.
Witnesses then observed Alexander speaking in an agitated manner on the phone with Berg, who is Dawson’s mother, KFDA reported.
Witnesses added that they could hear Berg making accusatory statements toward Alexander and Alexander saying he “had to get rough with the child and strike the child in the stomach while trying to wake him up,” the station said.

Documents indicate that Berg told detectives her son previously had been hospitalized for normal illnesses but added that she recently noticed bruising on his body, KFDA reported.
More from the station:
She indicated she thought the child’s day care was responsible for the injuries. She also indicated that she trusted Alexander to watch Dawson and made statements to indicate she had “never seen anything alarming concerning Christopher and her children.”
Documents state detectives showed Berg photographs of Dawson taken during the current incident, which included severe physical injuries throughout his head, chest, abdomen, back, and all extremities. Berg denied having seen most of the current injuries and was shocked by the severity of the injuries.
Documents indicate that Berg didn’t suggest that Alexander was responsible for the abuse, KFDA said.
Soon Dawson was taken to Children’s Medical Center Dallas, where medical staff determined that the child’s injuries likely would result in death or permanent disabilities, the station said.
Detectives then got a search warrant for the apartment of Berg, Alexander, and Dawson, KFDA reported.

Documents also note that investigators collected evidence in the apartment suggesting someone may have been hurt — and there may have been an attempt to clean or conceal blood or other trace evidence, the station said.
What’s more, through search warrants detectives downloaded data from multiple cell phones and electronic devices — and documents say detectives found evidence illustrating that Dawson suffered numerous injuries over the past months while alone with Alexander, KFDA reported.
Police added to the station that the evidence “clearly indicated that Chelsea observed the injuries on her child, knew that her child was continuously getting hurt with Christopher, and clearly knew the dangers that Christopher presented to her children.”
In addition, documents added that “Chelsea knew that Dawson was demonstrating signs of severe illness and physical deterioration, yet neglected to remove Dawson from the dangerous situation and failed to obtain appropriate care for his injuries,” KFDA reported.
Dawson died Sunday of his injuries, the station said.
KFDA, citing the arrest warrant, states that evidence indicates Alexander had been physically assaulting the boy over a period of at least 30 days — and that both Berg and Alexander noticed his visible injuries.
Police added to the station that evidence also suggests the couple feared Child Protective Services would investigate them if they sought medical treatment for Dawson. In addition, KFDA noted that the couple “deliberately omitted pertinent information about the cause of the child’s injuries” at one point, according to documents.
Berg was arrested Monday — the day after her son’s death — and charged with capital murder, the station said, adding that Alexander’s charges were upgraded to capital murder.
KFDA noted that a Texas capital murder conviction is punishable by death or life in prison.
Berg and Alexander were first arrested in October and charged with injury to a child, a first-degree felony, KTVT-TV reported, adding that Alexander also was charged with tampering with evidence.
Berg had been out of jail on bond until she was arrested again Monday, KTVT said, adding that Alexander remained in the Collin County Jail.
Dawson’s father, Dahrian Zamora, confirmed his son’s death Sunday in a social media post, KTVT said, adding that Dahrian’s birthday also was on Sunday.
“His gift to me was his final breath, and we are now forever interlocked with my birth and his death,” Dahrian Zamora wrote on Facebook, KTVT added. “He held on to spend one last birthday with me and refused to go until then.”

The New York Times’ ‘trillionaire’ lie: The left is now outraged over pure fiction
The left is yet again up in arms about a non-issue, this time regarding the amount of trillionaires in America. Because what they don’t appear to know is that there are no trillionaires in America.
“We did it. They’ve been eradicated. There are no American trillionaires. We did it everybody. Yay. I guess that’s a goal we all have now. In case you didn’t know,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu Does America.” “A lot of people on the left apparently don’t.”
And sadly, the New York Times has landed on the list of those who don’t know this, as a recent article is titled, “Musk Wins $1 Trillion Pay Package, Creating Split Screen on Wealth in America.”
“Again, no it doesn’t,” Burguiere comments.
“At Tesla, based in the Austin, Texas, area, shareholders have largely bought into a winner-takes-all version of capitalism, agreeing by a wide margin to give Mr. Musk shares worth almost a trillion dollars if the company under his management achieves ambitious financial and operational goals over the next decade,” the article reads.
“Now, the terms I would like you to look at in that particular quote are ‘shareholders.’ So, the people whose money is going to be paid to Elon Musk have bought in. So, why would they buy into a winner-takes-all philosophy of capitalism? Because that would bankrupt them, right?” Burguiere asks.
“Elon wins, they get nothing, right? Let’s think about it a little bit. Could it possibly be that they actually win too? Could it possibly be that they think that if Elon Musk becomes a trillionaire, they’re doing pretty darn well for themselves as well? Could it possibly be that the New York freaking Times, located in the financial capital of the world, have no idea what they’re talking about?” he continues.
“And you might say, ‘Well, yeah, that is what it means, Stu.’ No, it doesn’t. It means they’re lying. They know exactly what’s going on here. They know why they’re framing it this way. And they’re doing it completely intentionally,” he adds.
The article goes on to discuss mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s New York victory as a “reminder of the frustrations many Americans have with an economic system that has left them struggling to afford basics like food, housing, and child care.”
“I assure you, Elon Musk having a trillion dollars, which I will note he does not have, but if he did have it, that money would not have anything to do with someone in New York feeding themselves. It’s literally got nothing to do with them starving on the streets,” Burguiere says.
“It’s got nothing to do with Elon Musk. He’s not doing this to people,” he adds.
