Two National Guard soldiers were shot in the head just yards from the White House during a possible terror attack by a lone gunman identified as an Afghan national.
Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, has been named as the alleged gunman in custody over the horror shoot-out at Farragut West metro station in the center of Washington, DC, which has left two soldiers in a critical condition.
Law enforcement sources initially told NBC News the gunman has been identified as an Afghan national and the shooting is being investigated as a possible act of terror.
He allegedly came to the United States during the chaotic US withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021 under Joe Biden‘s Operation Allies Welcome, sources told The New York Post.
In the trial of Linda Sun, the former aide to New York governors who is accused of acting as a Chinese agent, the court has heard evidence that Sun forged the signature of Gov. Kathy Hochul, had close contact with Chinese consular staff, and purchased luxury items with payouts from China.
The former aide to Hochul and former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was indicted in 2024 over allegedly using her position to push the agenda of the Chinese Communist Party in return for millions of dollars paid to her husband’s business. Sun has pleaded not guilty.
Sun is on trial in federal court in the Eastern District of New York in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, with former colleagues and coworkers taking the stand to testify.
After almost two weeks of a trial that is expected to run until mid-December, here are some key takeaways so far.
Delegation Invitation Letters Allegedly Forged
Federal prosecutors alleged that Sun put together an official invitation letter to help Chinese officials travel to New York state. Without approval, she allegedly signed then-Lt. Gov. Hochul’s signature on the letter, which was on official letterhead. According to the prosecution, officials from Henan Province, China, used that letter to apply for visas to travel to the United States.

Colombian authorities just rescued17 underage girls and boys (some of them American children) from an ultra-Orthodox Jewish cult known as Lev Tahor, one of the most notorious and nomadic extremist sects operating today.
This latest operation comes after years of cross-border investigations into the group’s abuse of minors, its systematic control of families, and its ability to relocate from country to country in an effort to evade prosecution. According to Colombian police, early reports suggest the possibility of kidnapping, forced confinement, and human trafficking, all carried out under the protective guise of religious practice.
Lev Tahor, founded in the 1980s in the state of Israel, has long been described as the “Jewish Taliban”. Its roughly 300 members have migrated between Israel, Guatemala, Canada, the U.S., Mexico, the Balkans, and Colombia, usually fleeing investigations, court orders, or criminal charges. Each time, the group arrives in a new country presenting itself as a persecuted religious minority. Each time, the pattern repeats: children disappear from schools, medical care is denied, marriages are arranged for children, pregnancy is forced, adults are violently controlled, and children are malnourished, uneducated, and neglected.
In December 2024, authorities rescued 160 children from a farm occupied by Lev Tahor. These children reported rampant abuse, coercion, and sexual violence. The Colombian prosecutor overseeing the case said the raid was launched due to credible suspicions of:
forced pregnancy
mistreatment of minors
sexual abuse and rape
child disappearance and parental separation
transnational movement of children without documentation
The video in question1is a Kill-Or-Be-Killed (KOBK) move. The only way to defeat it is swiftly arrest the perpetrators and prosecute them, thus ‘killing’ them. That video is an act of sedition in and of itself. Nothing like this should be permitted in USA. Hegseth should act swiftly while details are fresh in the public mind and to show force. ABN

An unsealed federal search-warrant application reveals investigators have zeroed in on a Chinese drug-trafficking network operating out of Dexter, Stetson, Norridgewock & Ripley, Maine.
According to a sealed 50-page affidavit filed March 17, investigators caught their break when Zhao & Li were stopped crossing back into the U.S. from Canada and were forced to hand over their phones.
At the center: 🇨🇳 “Larry” Zhao of Brooklyn 🇨🇳 Wen Hui “Wen” Li of Las Vegas
DEA task-force officers then secured warrants for 4 Maine properties linked to the pair — each showing red flags for commercial-scale illegal cannabis grows: massive power usage, structural mods, and suspicious financial flows.
The affidavit says the operation was fueled by mortgage fraud, shell companies, foreign money transfers & straw buyers. Federal investigators say these sites fit patterns seen in the 270+ Chinese cartel grow houses DHS flagged across Maine.
WeChat messages pulled from Zhao’s phone show him telling partners that Maine operations had “ceased” due to “local police concerns” — matching the lull in cartel activity after public reporting and increased scrutiny.
As an update, both the White House and our counterterrorism agencies have confirmed receipt of what I reported publicly: Emmanuel Macron attempted to organize my assassination, per a source close to the first couple.
Also, I will again state that the French legionnaires were involved in Charlie Kirk’s assassination but they did not act alone.
For all of you who doubted my claims, you can now look to the President of the United States and our intelligence communities to issue a statement to confirm whether I am telling the truth.
The mission of this website is to call attention to possible foreign and domestic malign influences on voting systems across our country with evidence obtained from open sources. This evidence raises significant concerns about whether our democratic system is under attack due to the use of foreign-owned electronic voting systems to run our elections and count our votes.
Are unauthorized and malicious foreign software engineers and administrators in hostile countries accessing our voting records and manipulating our elections? Is some of the work funded by one or more South American cartels? Is the personal voting information from past elections stored on Chinese servers in an eastern European country? Are actors able to control and alter the outcomes of our elections? Have they been doing so?
The timelines below trace the evolution of the coding and software that form the electronic DNA of America’s electronic voting and tabulation systems as they have developed over the years. The summary timeline provides the chronological history in brief. Just follow the yellow line. It connects pieces of evidence and raises important questions.
The full timeline includes more than 200 events between 1997 and 2024. Everything is linked to the original sources.
This evidence should concern all Americans. If we have lost control of our votes, we have lost control of our democratic process and our constitutional republic.
This claim fits well with information many of us have been seeing for years. It connects China, Serbia and Venezuela, as well as the makers of electronic voting machines used in USA. The story has always been shadowy and lacking essential details or recognition by law enforcement. Emerald claims Trump is preparing to take down Maduro in Venezuela primarily over their election fraud in USA. ABN
