WASHINGTON D.C. - The Federal Emergency Management Agency supervisor fired for telling workers to avoid homes with Trump signs or flags said in an interview Tuesday that “senior leadership” at FEMA was well-aware of this guidance and it was not an isolated incident.

The FEMA supervisor, Marn’i Washington, said in an interview with show host Roland Martin that she instructed her survivor assistance team in Lake Placid, Florida, to avoid homes with Trump signs or flags not on her own, but due to what FEMA refers to as a “community trend” where people who fell in that category were hostile to FEMA workers.

Washington’s allegations track with what hurricane survivors have told Breitbart News and other outlets in North Carolina, where survivors said it took six days after Hurricane Helene for federal disaster assistance workers to arrive and that they were not proactive in seeing if survivors needed assistance.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF - Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass confirmed this week she wants to see her city officially become a “sanctuary” for illegal immigrants before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House next year.

Bass, a Democrat who has served as the mayor of Los Angeles since December 2022, would like to see the quick passage of an ordinance proposal that would make her hometown a sanctuary city before the year’s end, according to comments she made to local radio station KNX News. The statements position her as one of the latest Democratic politicians aiming to stymie Trump’s hardline immigration agenda.

The Democrat mayor said she was originally not aware that Los Angeles wasn’t a sanctuary city already, noting that it needs to become one before Trump takes back the White House in January. Click link to read more.

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It’s been eleven years since a 21-year-old mother disappeared in East Nashville. At the time Radiah Gilbert was about 6-7 months pregnant.

It’s just one of hundreds of cases Metro Nashville police hope to shed light on after a cold case website launched several weeks ago.

In June 2013, 21-year-old Radiah Gilbert was last seen at the Roadway Inn on Trinity Ln. The inn is now permanently closed.

“Although it was usual for Radiah to be gone for a long period of time, it was unusual for her to be gone this long,” Lieutenant Jill Weaver, Metro Nashville Police Department Cold Case Homicide Detective said.

Lt. Weaver is the detective on Gilbert’s case. She said at the time of her disappearance, Gilbert found herself on the wrong path and staying at various inns. “She had been involved in prostitution and there were people in and out of her life.”  

At the time, Gilbert’s two-year-old child was being cared for by her mother and Gilbert was up to 7 months pregnant.

“We feel strongly that Radiah was a victim of foul play, or something nefarious happened to her that ended her life,” Weaver said. “People don’t just fall off the face of the earth.”

For over a decade, Weaver investigated the case and hoped to give some answers to Gilbert’s mother. Click here to read more.

 

THATCHER, Ariz. — A 10-year-old girl in Arizona likes to spend her time raising and selling chickens.

After selling enough of the chickens to raise a few thousand dollars, the family of Kinley Maner said the bank was keeping the money.

While living a rural life in Thatcher, which is located about three hours southeast of Phoenix, Kinley began spending her time raising chickens to sell at the county fair.

“I just thought that it would be fun, because when they’re little, they’re so cute,” Kinley said.

J.R. Maner, Kinley’s father, said the experience has been a lot of fun for his daughter and taught her a lot about chickens.

“It really taught her kind of strict obedience of being out there and taking care of an animal,” he said.

Kinley proudly showed her chickens at the Graham County Fair, eventually putting them up for auction.

After all was done, Kinley’s six chickens sold for a whopping $2,100.

The treasurer of the Small Stock Association wrote Kinley a check, which was electronically deposited at Chase Bank in the bank account of her mother, Kalli Maner.

“So we cashed it,” her father said. “Didn’t think it would be a big deal. And the next day, Chase closed Kalli’s bank account.”

And Kinley’s check was also frozen, meaning she didn’t get that $2,100.

Kalli Maner spent hours on the phone with Chase trying to get answers.

DETROIT, MICH– Detroit’s public school district has launched a program that will pay each student $2,000 for completing a 40-hour tutoring program, allowing the students to make $50 an hour.

The school board needs to approve the program at today’s meeting or else student payments would be capped at $1,000.

According to district documents, students would work with trained teachers and academic interventionists for one hour a day, four days a week for 10 weeks.

“The District recognizes that many students must work after school jobs,” the district stated in the memo distributed to the school board. “In order to support our students and recognize their need to earn money, the District will provide students $2,000 if they complete the 40 hour tutoring program.”

The first session began Nov. 11 and then a second session would begin in January. Students can only participate one time. The district believes more than 400 high school students will participate. The participants will be paid via a gift card.

“The Detroit Public Schools Community District is excited to announce the launch of our High School Paid Tutoring Program,” said Chrystal Wilson, the school district spokeswoman, in an email to Michigan News Source. “Designed to support our students’ academic journeys, this initiative offers tutoring from Orton Gillingham trained educators. This is a new program, it launched on Monday 11/11 with the first tutoring session.” Click here to read more.

School Board Member Alleges Information Withheld in Proposed $40 Million School Sale

SWARTZ CREEK, Mich. — Tensions flared at a recent Swartz Creek School Board meeting after a board member claimed he was not given key information about a potential $40 million sale of Moorish Elementary School to a state-backed development project.

Board member Chuck Melki alleged that documents related to the proposed sale were withheld from him and the public. The school sits within a large industrial site in Mundy Township where the state of Michigan has already spent $259 million to clear land for a potential factory project. Despite the investment, several companies have declined to move in, leaving the land vacant.

“I wasn’t given all the information about the possible sale of this school,” Melki said during the meeting, adding that he recently learned documents existed as far back as May indicating the property could be sold. He accused the district’s former superintendent, who has since left for another district, of withholding the paperwork.

Michigan’s Failing $259 Million Mega Site Project Could Now Claim a $40M School

The state of Michigan has spent over $259 million in taxpayer money buying land in Genesee County for a “mega-site” project aimed at attracting a large company, but no firm has committed to the site. A proposed $55 billion project recently fell through, leaving the land vacant. Now, officials are considering buying Morris Elementary School for $40 million to add to the site, despite uncertainty over whether a company will ever build there. Supporters say it could bring jobs, while critics argue it’s a waste of public funds.

Maxwell Breaks Silence: What She Really Said About Clinton, Trump and Epstein’s Death
The new tapes just released.

WASHINGTON — Ghislaine Maxwell, the disgraced socialite serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation, spoke at length about her ties to former President Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and her view of Epstein’s death in newly released transcripts of her proffer sessions with the Department of Justice. She also addressed persistent rumors of a secret “list” of Epstein’s powerful associates, calling the notion a myth.

Click here to listen to the interview.

The interviews, conducted July 24–25, 2025, under a proffer agreement, mark the first time Maxwell has directly addressed federal investigators since her conviction. The transcripts provide a rare glimpse into her perspective on Epstein’s network and the scandals that continue to swirl around his name.

 

Maxwell on Donald Trump

Maxwell said her connections to Trump predated her relationship with Epstein. She recalled that in 1990, while helping her father Robert Maxwell with business matters in New York, she may have briefly met Trump. “My father was friendly with him and liked him very much,” she told investigators, adding that her father also admired Ivana Trump.

She acknowledged attending events at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort but denied recruiting women there on Epstein’s behalf. “I really don’t believe it’s true,” she said when pressed about allegations that she approached women at the property. “In the realm of possibility, it could have [happened], but I have no memory of it”.

Maxwell on Bill Clinton

Maxwell described Clinton as a figure Epstein “greatly admired” and sought to impress. She said she saw Clinton at charity and academic gatherings but insisted he was “never inappropriate” and “never a participant” in Epstein’s sexual misconduct.

Clinton has acknowledged flying on Epstein’s private jet for philanthropic work but denied wrongdoing. Maxwell’s comments, while echoing his denials, underscore Epstein’s desire to cultivate relationships with political elites.

 

Maxwell on Jeffrey Epstein’s Death

The transcripts show Maxwell voicing deep skepticism about Epstein’s official cause of death. “I don’t believe he killed himself,” she told investigators. She suggested Epstein “had many enemies” and said there were “too many coincidences” surrounding the circumstances of his 2019 death in federal custody.

While she did not accuse anyone directly, Maxwell’s doubts echoed the widespread suspicion that Epstein’s death was not self-inflicted.

Maxwell on the Rumored ‘List’

Investigators also asked Maxwell about the long-rumored “list” of Epstein’s friends and associates — sometimes described in media accounts as a supposed ledger of influential figures tied to his activities. Maxwell dismissed the idea outright.

“I never kept such a list, and I never saw one,” she said, calling the notion a “media invention.” She added that Epstein’s social circle was broad and well-known through public appearances, flight logs, and society pages, but insisted there was no secret document cataloging who might have been complicit.

“People have imagined this massive hidden record,” she said, “but it simply didn’t exist in the way it has been described.”

 

Distancing Herself from Epstein

Maxwell continued to dispute prosecutors’ characterization of Epstein’s multimillion-dollar transfers to her. She claimed the money was tied to loans, business deals, and investments, not payments for recruiting underage girls. She described flipping real estate, investing in luxury cars, and earning banking licenses in the 1990s, portraying herself as a woman seeking financial independence rather than an accomplice.

“I always wanted to be independent, financially secure and work for myself,” she said.

Renewed Scrutiny

The release of Maxwell’s interviews is likely to reignite scrutiny of Epstein’s network. For years, questions have swirled about who knew what about his abuse and how far his influence extended. Clinton has denied any knowledge of criminal activity, while Trump has said he knew Epstein socially but “was not a fan.”

Maxwell’s denial of a “list” may quiet some speculation but is unlikely to end the fascination with Epstein’s high-profile ties. Her insistence that Clinton and Trump were not involved in abuse will not silence critics, especially given her conviction for enabling Epstein’s exploitation.

 

A Story That Refuses to Fade

Six years after Epstein’s death and more than two years into her sentence, Maxwell remains central to the scandal. Her interviews reflect both an attempt to defend her reputation and a refusal to accept the narrative prosecutors advanced.

“I’ve never had any problem to speak to anybody,” she told investigators at the outset of the interviews, noting that she had asked to meet with the government years earlier. “I offered myself and I kept asking.”

Now, with her words public, the controversy surrounding Epstein, Maxwell, and the powerful world they inhabited is once again thrust into the spotlight — with two former presidents and the specter of a rumored “list” ensuring the story remains alive.

Extremely Promising’: New Vaccine Could Prevent Recurrence Of Deadly Colon, Pancreatic Cancer

A new experimental vaccine has been developed that appears to be successful in preventing recurrences of the deadly colorectal and pancreatic cancers.

A study led by the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of California, Los Angeles, tested the ELI-002 2P vaccine on 25 patients previously treated for pancreatic and colorectal cancers.

The vaccine could “help prevent or delay cancer recurrence in high-risk patients whose tumors are driven by KRAS mutations, which are responsible for half of colorectal cancers and more than 90 percent of pancreatic cancers, researchers noted,” The Hill reported.

The patients were tested a year after the vaccine had been administered, and the average relapse-free survival times were significantly greater than historical norms.

Oncologist Dr. Thomas Marron told News Nation the results are “extremely promising. Pancreatic cancer and colon cancer are really terrible cancers, and oftentimes even if patients can have curative-intense surgery, unfortunately this cancer tends to come back as microscopic bits of the cancer have already spread.

Education Dept places five Virginia school districts on high-alert status over transgender bathrooms

The Department of Education on Tuesday announced it was placing five northern Virginia school districts on "high-risk status" within the federal grant system, after they declined to obey the department's directive to change their policies regarding transgender students using bathrooms that align with their chosen gender identity.

The school districts made their respective decisions to reject the department's Voluntary Resolution Agreement last week.

The Education Department found last month that Arlington Public Schools, Alexandria City Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Loudoun County Public Schools and the Prince William County Public Schools violated Title IX by allowing students access to "intimate, sex-segregated facilities" based on the students' chosen gender identity instead of their biological sex.

Trump vows admin won't approve wind or solar: 'Days of stupidity are over'

resident Donald Trump on Wednesday vowed that his administration would not approve wind or solar projects, calling the alternative energy sources part of the "scam of the century!"

Trump has long criticized the alternative energy forms, notably pointing to the impact of wind turbines on the bird population. Earlier this week, he called for stopping windmill operations due to an energy crunch.

"Any State that has built and relied on WINDMILLS and SOLAR for power are seeing RECORD BREAKING INCREASES IN ELECTRICITY AND ENERGY COSTS," Trum posted on Truth Social. "THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY! We will not approve wind or farmer destroying Solar. The days of stupidity are over in the USA!!! MAGA."

Last month, Trump called windmills a "con job" and warned European leaders against their production, in part due to them being made in China.

 

Man who tried to rape 7-year-old agrees to be castrated as part of plea deal

VERNON PARISH, La. - A Louisiana man agreed to be physically and chemically castrated as part of a plea deal.

Thirty-seven-year-old Thomas Allen McCartney, of Leesville, pleaded guilty Tuesday to attempted first-degree rape of a child under the age of 13.

As part of the plea deal, McCartney also agreed to serve 40 years in state prison, according to the Vernon Parish District Attorney’s Office.

When McCartney was arrested in 2023, authorities said he had been caught sexually abusing a 7-year-old girl. He was already a Tier 3 sex offender in Louisiana, having been previously convicted of attempted aggravated rape in 2011. Click here to read more.
