A terrorist attack on the Nuremberg Christmas market in Germany has been thwarted through the arrest of five suspects.

Bavaria’s Interior Minister Herrmann (CSU) spoke in Nuremberg on Sunday about the arrest of the men in Lower Bavaria who were allegedly planning to attack a Christmas market using a vehicle.

Multiple reports indicate that police believe the suspects – three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian – had an “Islamist motive.”

Terrorist attacks using vehicles to ram people have been on the rise in the past two decades. The method was used prominently by Palestinian terrorists in Israel in the early 2000s before a radical Muslim deployed the tactic at the University of North Carolina in 2006.

Another South American country has gone “far-right” and the timing couldn’t be better for the U.S. as it seeks to secure its critical mineral supply chain.

Several weeks ago, Bolivia elected Rodrigo Paz as its new president. He promptly planned to scrap a ream of taxes as one of his first moves since becoming the nation’s first conservative leader in nearly two decades.

The government has also repaired relations with Washington after years of anti-American hostility dating back to when ex-President Evo Morales, a charismatic coca-growing union leader, kicked out the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2008 and cozied up to Russia, Iran and Venezuela.

The U.S. State Department has already announced agreements on nuclear cooperation and security assistance, and Paz has said his administration will allow Elon Musk’s Starlink to operate in Bolivia for the first time, after his predecessor refused to give it an operating license last year.

The Cambodian government has reported that over 300 000 Cambodian citizens have sought safety at camps for displaced people in border provinces, including Banteay Meanchey and Mongkol Borey.

The Thailand–Cambodia border conflict is part of a long-standing territorial dispute, driven by competing claims over several areas along the more than 800 kilometer frontier, including historical sites such as the Preah Vihear temple complex.

A social media user appeared to make a threat against Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, who referred the message to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The user appeared to post a heinous meme mocking the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk and added, “Your [sic] next buddy turn down the rhetoric.”

Former US Attorney Jay Town responded that the meme and the message could be prosecuted as a threat against the senator’s life.

Lee posted a screenshot of the alleged message, which was deleted from the X platform.

The salaries for those working on the project range from $150,000 to $200,000 annually.

The Trump administration launched what is being called the “US Tech Force” as the president is seeking US dominance in the artificial intelligence industry. The new initiative will be comprised of around 1,000 engineers as well as others who will build out AI infrastructure and projects within the federal government.

The two-year employment program will work with teams that report to agency leaders in “collaboration with leading technology companies,” according to the launch website. “Upon completing the program, engineers can seek employment with the partnering private-sector companies for potential full-time roles – demonstrating the value of combining civil service with technical expertise,” the website adds.

A conservative Christian woman from Alabama has been identified as one of the two fatalities from Saturday’s shooting at Brown University in Rhode Island that left at least nine others wounded.

Ella Cook, a 19-year-old sophomore at Brown, was a parishioner at Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, where Rev. Craig Smalley made the announcement during his Sunday service.

“Some of you haven’t heard, a lot of you have heard … [about] the tragedy yesterday at Brown University, the shooting of a number of people,” Smalley said.. “Tragically, one of our parishioners, Ella Cook, was one of those who was killed yesterday.”

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is raising alarms over President Donald Trump’s aggressive push for mid-decade redistricting in Republican-led states, claiming the effort could intensify national divisions and even lead to “political violence.”

Paul’s comments came during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

The senator was pressed on the Indiana State Senate’s recent decision to reject a Trump-backed redistricting proposal.

The president endorsed the mid-cycle map overhaul.

It’s one that analysts say would have added two GOP seats ahead of next year’s midterms.

Federal prosecutors say a group of far-left extremists plotted to bomb U.S. businesses on New Year’s Eve and then turn their sights on federal immigration agents in a follow-up wave of attacks.

According to a criminal complaint, four members of a cell calling itself the Order of the Black Lotus planned to plant pipe bombs at two American companies in Los Angeles as part of a scheme dubbed “Operation Midnight Sun.” The group is described as a splinter faction of the anti-capitalist Turtle Island Liberation Front.

After the initial bombings, the suspects allegedly planned to target ICE agents and their vehicles beginning in January or February 2026, hoping the explosions “would take some of them out and scare the rest of them,” prosecutors said.

Investigators said the New Year’s Eve plot involved backpacks packed with explosive devices, outlined in a handwritten plan recovered during the investigation.

The four suspects arrested were Audrey Carroll, 30, who used the aliases “Asiginaak” and “black moon”; Zachary Page, 32, who went by “Ash Kerrigan,” “AK” and “cthulu’s daughter”; Dante Garfield, 24, also known as “Cedar” or “Nomad”; and Tina Lai, 41, whose alias was “Kickwhere.”

It would be hard to find a decent conservative who liked Rob Reiner’s politics — it will be impossible to find a decent conservative celebrating his death.

Reiner, 78, was found stabbed to death with his wife, Michele Singer,  in the couple’s Hollywood home on Sunday. Their middle child, Nick Reiner, is reportedly a suspect in their killing.

And the reaction across the political spectrum — compared to the September assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk — speaks volumes about American politics.

To the everlasting disgrace of the American left, Kirk’s killing was cause for celebration among his political opponents.

Reiner, however, an inveterate liberal even by Hollywood standards, had a different take. And in an October interview with “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” he showed what a difference decency can make.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have provided Congress with new evidence detailing Clinton Foundation corruption.

The IRS began investigating the Clinton Foundation in 2019 but abruptly stopped and cut off whistleblowers, according to memos obtained by Just The News over the summer.

“Can’t talk about the CF [Clinton Foundation],” one of the memos stated as it cut off the two Clinton Foundation whistleblowers. On Tuesday, Just The News reported that Patel and Bondi have given Congress a new tranche of documents showing the Clinton Foundation took donor money from foreigners seeking influence.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito blocked a federal court ruling Friday that struck down Texas’ new congressional map, allowing Republicans to continue using the disputed boundaries while the high court weighs the case.

Alito ordered the League of United Latin American Citizens and other challengers to respond by Monday at 5 p.m. EST, according to the court document. The administrative stay blocks the Nov. 18 order from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas while the Supreme Court considers the case.

The Supreme Court order states the district court’s ruling “is hereby administratively stayed pending further order of the undersigned or of the Court.” Alito signed the order personally on Nov. 21.

The Trump administration on Tuesday made a big move forward in its effort to effectively dismantle the U.S. Department of Education, announcing the agency will transfer a lot of its workload to other federal departments.

The new partnerships with the Labor, Interior, Health and Human Services, and State departments will help streamline and consolidate a lot of bureaucracy and red tape, the Education Department announced in a news release.

“By partnering with agencies that are best positioned to deliver results for students and taxpayers, these [interagency agreements] will streamline federal education activities on the legally required programs, reduce administrative burdens, and refocus programs and activities to better serve students and grantees,” the release stated.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has announced that federal charges have been filed against a man who threatened to kill a prominent conservative political commentator and friend of the late Charlie Kirk.

George Isbell Jr., 69, was arrested last month in San Diego, California for allegedly threatening to kill conservative political commentator Benny Johnson. He will be federally charged in Florida with mailing a threatening communication, according to Bondi.

“Benny is a well-known media personality, carrying a message very similar to Charlie’s. Grounded largely in faith and love of country. Just days after Charlie’s assassination, Benny received a letter at his home where he and Kate are raising their beautiful, beautiful young family,” Bondi said. “The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny dead.”

“This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this. That’s why we’re standing up here today. You are not going to get away with threatening people in this way. And I’m proud to announce that we have arrested the author of this letter,” the attorney general added.

Texas Christian U. to end gender, race studies departments

Texas Christian University will dissolve its Departments of Women and Gender Studies and Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies at the end of this academic year, merging both programs into the English Department.

The decision, announced earlier this month, has sparked debate over whether the action could mark a return to traditional Christian values or is a cosmetic response to donors and political pressure.

Provost Floyd Wormley told faculty the merger is driven by low enrollment and broader budget restructuring that will also combine other small departments. “Decisions are not based on academic content but on data,” a university spokesperson told Inside Higher Ed.

The Ohio House of Representatives advanced two pro-life measures on Wednesday aimed at curbing chemical abortions and educating students on fetal development.

The pro-life bills are drawing praise from advocates who hailed the votes as a victory for mothers and unborn children.

House Bill 324, dubbed the Patient Protection Act, cleared the chamber 59-28. The legislation would classify the abortion drug mifepristone as a “dangerous drug” due to its severe side effects in more than 5% of patients. It prohibits mail-order sales and remote prescribing, requiring women to visit a doctor in person for informed consent about the risks.
