June 14 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Saturday he would accept a recommendation for a national inquiry into grooming gangs who sexually abused thousands of girls, having previously resisted calls for a statutory review.
The scandal, which revealed how gangs of mostly Pakistani men had groomed, trafficked and raped young white girls more than a decade ago, returned to the political agenda this year after U.S. billionaire Elon Musk criticised the British government.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican tax bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives would cost the poorest Americans roughly $1,600 a year while increasing the income of the wealthiest households by an average of $12,000 annually, according to a new analysis released Thursday by the Congressional Budget Office.

Middle-income households would see a boost of roughly $500 to $1,000 per year under Republican President Donald Trump’s tax bill, the CBO found.

The cuts to the lowest-income households come from proposed cuts to social safety net programs including Medicaid and a food assistance program for lower-income people, known as Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program.

The bill also proposes expanding work requirements to receive food aid and new “community engagement requirements” of at least 80 hours per month of work, education or service for able-bodied adults without dependents to receive Medicaid. Some proposed tax breaks would be temporary, including a tax break on tips and overtime, car loan interest and a $4,000 increase in the standard deduction for seniors.

How the Groypers Won

Groypers Old Party

IN THE WAKE OF THE LOS ANGELES ICE RAIDS and the protests in response to them, right-wing media figures are starting to demand a ban on all “third-world immigration,” even for people immigrating legally.

Advocates of a ban, like the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh and right-wing media personality Jack Posboiec, don’t exactly spell out what countries would be included—er, excluded. But presumably, any such ban would fall mostly on nonwhite immigrants. That’s a big shift from the rhetoric of just a few years ago, when even vocal critics of illegal immigration said they just wanted immigrants to come “the right way”—i.e., legally.

All that has been nirvana for Nick Fuentes, the leader of the young white nationalists who call themselves “groypers,” a reference to an obese version of the Pepe the Frog meme.

This one's actively developing, so expect updates pretty soon.

Sources have told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS’ Tom Hauser that two Minnesota Lawmakers have been shot.

Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer.

A manhunt is currently underway in Brooklyn Park for a man pretending to be a police officer.

The suspect, according to the alert, is a white man with brown hair wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. Authorities are asking residents not to approach the suspect if spotted.

The current condition of both lawmakers and whether any other victims were involved is currently unknown, but reports state multiple victims were at both locations.

5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is working to learn more information.

Governor Tim Walz sent a message on X stating he had activated the State Emergency Operations Center and that law enforcement in Champlin and Brooklyn Park would have the “full resources of the State of Minnesota behind them.”

Democrat corruption

The longest serving legislative leader in US history, a corrupt Democrat from the state of Illinois has been sentenced to seven years in prison for the conviction of 10 of the 23 federal corruption complaints against him.

Former Illinois lawmaker sentenced to over 7 years in prison for corruption

Former Illinois Democratic lawmaker Michael Madigan was sentenced to more than seven years in prison following a federal corruption trial in Chicago.

Madigan, the longest serving legislative leader in U.S. history, will also be required to pay a $2.5 million fine following a February conviction on 10 of 23 counts of corruption.

“I’m truly sorry for putting the people of the state of Illinois through this,” Madigan, the former speaker of the state house, said before the sentencing according to the Associated Press.

“I tried to do my best to serve the people of the state of Illinois,” he said. “I am not perfect.”

His defense attorneys pushed for five years probation, hoping that he could stay at home to care for his wife Shirley, who’s suffering from aging complications.

However, U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey showed little leniency for the 83 year old who prosecutors said undertook corrupt dealings for years with supporting evidence from 60 witnesses and stacks of documents.

“Being great is hard. Being honest is not. It’s hard to commit crimes. It actually takes effort,” Blakey said during the hearing

The Democrat was once lauded for his historic career, after serving as speaker for the Illinois General Assembly for 50 years.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Streicker said Madigan “fit right into the mold of yet another corrupt leader in Illinois,” as reported by the AP.

As a result of Streicker’s court presentation, jurors found Madigan guilty for overarching racketeering conspiracy on six counts while acquitting him on seven other charges.

While American patriots peacefully demonstrate against tyranny all over the country, another right wing terror attack is carried out

This comes after a right wing terrorist murdered one Democrat congresswoman and attempted to murder another Democrat congressman before fleeing. He's currently at large, possibly being sheltered by sympathetic right wing extremists.

https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/northern-virginia/man-accused-of-driving-through-crowd-of-protesters-in-culpeper/3936544/
A man was arrested for reckless driving and is accused of intentionally driving into a group of people leaving a protest today, Culpeper police said.

A group named Culpeper Democrats on Facebook said it happened at their No Kings rally on James Madison Highway, which police confirmed.

The Culpeper Police Department said officers were monitoring the area as the protest ended when 21-year-old Joseph R. Checklick Jr. of Culpeper "intentionally" accelerated an SUV into the dispersing crowd.

At least one person was hit, according to police, but they said they hadn't received reports of any injuries.

In their Facebook post, the Culpeper Democrats group thanked the police department for its "quick response and for keeping our protest safe!"

Checklick is being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail, police said, and additional charges could still be filed.

The Culpeper Police Department said this is an active and ongoing investigation and is asking witnesses to come forward.

The Agency is in contact with Iranian authorities regarding radiation levels. We are also in contact with our inspectors in the country.”

Trump's child raping comes up again

The notoriously litigious Trump will somehow manage not to sue this guy for Libel, basically confirming that he's both raped kids and is a premature ejaculator

https://dailyboulder.com/journalist-epstein-showed-me-disturbing-photos-of-trump-with-topless-young-girls-fbi-may-have-them/

Bestselling author and journalist Michael Wolff says Jeffrey Epstein personally showed him photos of Donald Trump with topless young girls — and he believes the FBI may now have those images.

“They were in the safe,” Wolff said. “And I have seen him [Epstein] on other occasions take them out of the safe.”

Wolff shared the story on The Court of History podcast with former Clinton adviser Sidney Blumenthal and historian Sean Wilentz, claiming Epstein casually showed him disturbing Polaroids during a conversation after Trump was elected president.

“He said, ‘Wait a minute, I gotta show you something,’” Wolff recalled. “And then he went into his safe and he came out with photographs. They were Polaroids, I think, and he kind of spread them out like playing cards. And it was Trump.”

“I think there were a dozen of them,” he continued, “and it was Trump with girls of an uncertain age at Epstein’s Palm Beach house, where all of the things that [Epstein] would ultimately be accused of took place.”

“I remember very vividly three of them. There are two in which … topless girls are sitting on Trump’s lap, and then a third in which he has a stain on the front of his pants, and the girls are kind of pointing at it, sort of bent over laughing … three or four girls, and those are the ones I specifically remember,” Wolff said.
