🇺🇸The Cornell gang-rape victim now endures disgusting death threats for speaking up.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit accusing seven Chi Phi members of drugging and raping her at a 2024 party.
Since then, she has received phone calls telling her “I can’t guarantee you’ll be safe,” along with explicit threats to shoot her and her family.
Absolutely sickening moral rot.

Greece will acquire $4 billion in military equipment and hardware from the United States under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
According to Report citing the Greek Foreign Ministry, the announcement came in a joint statement issued following the sixth round of the Greece-US Strategic Dialogue in Athens.
The two sides said the acquisitions are intended to support Greece’s long-term defense planning and improve interoperability between the armed forces of both countries. Athens and Washington also plan to explore future cooperation opportunities in the defense industry, including innovative technologies.
In addition, the sides finalized arrangements for Greece’s participation in a partnership program with the Florida National Guard Bureau. As part of expanded defense cooperation, Greece will also receive US-made Stryker armored vehicles.
The strategic dialogue was co-chaired by Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The parties agreed to continue strengthening defense and security cooperation and expand collaboration in combating terrorism and illegal migration.
🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Tehran’s hardliners may be taking over: Araghchi is reportedly under fire for talking to Witkoff without the military’s approval.
Matt Bracken admits he can’t vouch for the report, but if the IRGC is overruling Iran’s diplomats, he sees one path ahead:
“If the Iranians are hardening their position, I think that what we could see is Iranian preemptive strikes before the election.”
That leaves Washington two bad options… hit back and pay for it at the polls, or let it slide and look WEAK.

Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Iranian missiles fired at a US carrier appear to have pushed the Navy more than 1,000 km back from Iran.
Anyone with a satellite feed can track a carrier now, and even a day-old fix works because big ships don’t move fast.
Matt Bracken, former Navy SEAL turned novelist, says the Navy seems to have noticed:
“They appear to have moved further back, like perhaps beyond 1000km range from Iran.”
Every kilometer a carrier backs off is airspace Iran gets to keep.

Nigerian troops killed more than 25 Islamic State-aligned militants as they fought off an assault on a military position in northeastern Borno State, suffering an unknown number of casualties of their own, military sources and a member of the civilian defense force said, Report informs, citing Reuters.
In a separate, earlier incident, gunmen on motorbikes killed more than 25 soldiers and over 100 small-scale gold miners in Zamfara State, in the northwest, a military source, government official, and three residents said.
In the incident in the northeast, troops of the 101 Special Forces Battalion came under attack on Tuesday night from four directions in Kukawa, near Lake Chad, but repelled the assault with air support, according to the military.
“Preliminary assessment indicates that over 25 terrorists were neutralized, with 14 bodies recovered so far,” Captain Mohammed Goni, acting military information officer for Operation Hadin Kai, said in a statement. Troops seized six AK-47 rifles and ammunition during follow-up operations.
The military sources said some soldiers were killed in the fighting but did not provide details.
A member of the Civilian Joint Task Force, which supports military operations in the northeast, said more than three of its members were killed.
The military said it would continue joint operations to prevent militants from regrouping and launching further attacks.
“The MEDIA made that agenda.”
Political scientist and author Norman Finkelstein discusses the media coverage and public debate surrounding sexual violence allegations following the October 7 attacks.

🇺🇸 WHAT THE HECK?! A Chinese couple in California who had at least 25 kids through surrogates are charged with abusing them 💀
Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang, of Arcadia, pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors called the house a house of horrors: daily beatings, kids as young as 1 forced to sit for hours, cameras on the rooms, and a nanny told to hit harder.
It started in May 2025, when a 2-month-old landed in the hospital with a head injury.
They were arrested then, released, and charged now. Bail is $20M.
His lawyer says a nanny who fled did it, and that a big family isn’t a crime.
Each woman carrying a baby was told the couple already had one child. She wasn’t told the house was already full of them.
Nobody in the process was checking.
