Is the FBI involved in this reporter’s DISAPPEARANCE?

‘Emmy-winning producer James Gordon Meek had his home raided by the FBI. His colleagues says they haven’t seen him since,’ writes a recent Rolling Stone report about an American reporter’s mysterious disappearance.

Though some details remain murky, in this clip, Glenn explains everything we know so far.This is something ‘I’ve never seen before in America,’ Glenn says, and it raises several PRESSING questions:

Could the FBI possibly be involved in this? Where is Meek, and why have no friends or family publicly expressed concern?

What was on his laptop, and why did one of his colleagues refuse to answer Rolling Stone’s questions…?

The child was lethargic and showed symptoms of possible opioid poisoning, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies gathered information that the child may have ingested fentanyl while at the parent’s home.

First responders administered Naloxone to the child, who responded to the medication. The child was airlifted to Enloe Medical Center and later released into the care of Butte County Children Services Division.

During an investigation, narcotics agents searched the family’s home, a trailer in Concow, California, where it was believed the child ingested the fentanyl.

Investigators discovered methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia along with “a small amount of rainbow-colored fentanyl in a silicone container” in the parent’s vehicle.

Detectives believe the fentanyl likely ingested by the 2-year-old “had the appearance of rainbow-colored candy, and had been placed in a silicone container in a form which might appeal to a child,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

The grand larceny happened on Tuesday at a Home Depot location in Hillsborough, located about 38 miles northwest of Raleigh, the Hillsborough Police Department said Wednesday.

Video shows the worker confront the hoodie-wearing suspect as he wheels a cart of Ryobi power tools out of the store. The suspect uses his arm to shove the elderly man, who falls to the ground and appears to hit his head on a flowerpot. 

Police said the “menace to society” fled in a white, four-door Hyundai Sonata with a North Carolina temporary tag that was obscured from witnesses.

Authorities asked anyone with information about the suspect to contact the department.

A video shows the fight in detail as the suspects attacked customers and employees of the restaurant, including the manager. 

After employees of Hooters asked the children to leave the building, the kids instead started turning over chairs and throwing things, according to the Plano Police Department.

The boys then went to a waiting car, where three adult males got out of the car and came into the restaurant. 

This is the point at which the men then attacked the manager and a customer who was trying to help, according to Plano police. 

The manager is believed to have been beaten with a metal pipe — causing him to suffer a broken arm and concussion.

The 16-year-old twins ran door to door through the neighborhood for half an hour early Tuesday pleading for help. 

The boy was shirtless, both were barefoot and shivering when a kind woman in a nearby subdivision answered her door and let them inside. 

“They were so skinny and so frail. They just looked like they had been through a lot,” the woman said. “They told me that their mom kept them locked in the laundry room, naked, zip tied from the ankles and handcuffed from the wrist.”

Deputies went to the house to investigate but the couple and five other children, ages 8 to 14, were gone so an AMBER Alert was issued.

Hours later, Zaikiya  Duncan, 40, and Jova Terrell, 27, were arrested in Baton Rouge, La. Both could be charged with injury to a child and will be brought back to Houston on Thursday.

It’s not the first time Duncan has been arrested and charged due to alleged child abuse.

According to Louisiana court documents from 10 years ago, a then 5-year-old child of Duncan’s was taken from school to a local hospital to be treated for burns to his feet, genitals, and other parts of his body.

Doctors determined it was likely the result of being burned by hot water. The boy also had bruises on his torso, back, hip and buttocks.

Johnny Charles Ebbs V’s plea deal comes with eight years of deferred adjudication on a third-degree continuous family violence assault charge, meaning that he has not been found guilty at the time of sentencing and will have his offense dismissed if he doesn’t violate his probation. 

Lemons’ attorney, Kelsey McKay, said in court that Ebbs’ bond and an agreed-upon protective order mandated that he was to forfeit his guns – a move he has yet to make, KXAN reported

McKay called firearm surrender laws and domestic violence laws “relatively useless” if they’re not being enforced. She said Ebbs’ plea deal means he will be required to wear a GPS monitor for six months and will not serve any jail time.

Earlier in the week, Project Veritas released footage of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ “Advance Team” member Chris Baugh admitting to an undercover PV reporter that his boss isn’t capable enough to deal with the buses of illegals being sent from Texas, and that it’s been terrible optics for both the Adams and Biden administrations. 

In their most recently released video exposing Adams’ office, PV captured Baugh expressing scorn for those who lost their jobs over the city’s vaccine mandate. “I have no sympathy for them. They made a choice [not to get vaccinated]. They chose not to do a very harmless thing that protects the rest of society. F**k ‘em. 1,400 people voluntarily quit their jobs rather than get vaccinated. They don’t deserve their jobs back,” Baugh said.

He continued to rip his boss in the newly released video, who he described as “corrupt,” and mocked his potential presidential ambitions.

Fox News Digital previously reported that while more than a dozen attacks have been claimed by the left-wing pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge, not a single member of the underground group has been arrested.

According to a list updated this month by the Family Research Council (FRC), a Christian nonprofit, at least 38 churches across the country have been firebombed, smashed, ransacked or vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti and threatening messages since the May 2 leak.

At least 58 other pro-life clinics and organizations suffered the same fate, according to the same report.

Not included in either the FRC’s or Catholic Vote’s lists is the high-profile arrest of Nicholas John Roske, a California man who was carrying a gun, ammunition and a knife when he was apprehended by police outside the Maryland home of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

“It’s the American people versus the DC politicians and lobbyists,” Air Force veteran Jennifer-Ruth Green told Fox News Digital in a statement. “I’m with the American people. The Congressional Black Caucus is with the politicians and lobbyists, and their career politician ally Frank Mrvan. America’s poorest communities are proof Frank Mrvan and the CBC care more about power and helping themselves than helping the people of northwest Indiana. It’s sad.”  

The caucus donated to Mrvan instead of his challenger Green, who would become the sole Black Republican woman in Congress if elected.

Green added that all American people regardless of party, race, or gender are “suffering under the failed policies of Washington politicians.”

Footage shows some protesters chanting “AOC has got to go” while others silently hold signs and stare at the controversial Democrat. AOC herself sat on the edge of a stage and pretended to dance along with the protesters’ chants.

“Wake up New York,” one sign read. “Vote for Tina Forte. F**K AOC.”

“Very classy. Thank you sir,” AOC said when she spotted the sign.

AOC eventually became fed up with the incident and tried to get the protesters to calm down and engage in a conversation.

“Respectfully, ma’am you’re saying ‘ask us why’ — Y’all have been talking for 20 minutes, ok? We know why. We know why you’re mad,” she said. “Let’s talk about it.”


Congressional Republicans introduce nationwide ‘Stop the Sexualization of Children Act’

The measure, introduced by Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson and titled the “Stop the Sexualization of Children Act,” would order that “no federal funds may be made available to develop, implement, facilitate, or fund any sexually-oriented program, event, or literature for children under the age of 10.”

The law would extend that prohibition to any efforts toward “hosting or promoting any program, event, or literature involving sexually-oriented material, or any program, event, or literature that exposes children under the age of 10 to nude adults, individuals who are stripping, or lewd or lascivious dancing.”

Johnson in a press release on his website argued that “the Democrat Party and their cultural allies are on a misguided crusade to immerse young children in sexual imagery and radical gender ideology.”

“We can confirm that Russian military personnel based in Crimea have been piloting Iranian UAVs and using them to conduct kinetic strikes across Ukraine in strikes against Kyiv, and in recent days we assess that Iranian personnel — Iranian military personnel — were on the ground in Crimea and assisted Russia in these operations,” said US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price.

The Whitehouse’s confirmation comes after an accusation from the Ukrainian National Resistance Center on Wednesday that Iranian instructors were overseeing Russian forces launching kamikaze drones from within annexed Ukrainian territory.

Price said that “indisputable proof” had emerged of Irain’s involvement in the Russia-Ukraine War and had been presented to the  UN Security Council on Wednesday.

The State Department confirmed that the man, Saad Ibrahim Almadi, had been sentenced earlier this week. Almadi, 72, is a retired project manager in Florida and had sent tweets “mildly” criticizing the Saudi regime during his years in the U.S., his son, Ibrahim Almadi, told The Washington Post.

“We have consistently and intensively raised our concerns regarding the case at senior levels of the Saudi government,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. “The Saudi government understands the priority we attach to resolving this matter.”

Ibrahim criticized the State Department’s handling of his father’s case, saying officials have made basic errors in their efforts to secure his release.

“I told the State Department his hearing was set for Oct. 3, and they should attend,” Ibrahim told WaPo. “Afterward, over the phone, they said, ‘Oh, I’m sorry we forgot to tell the embassy.’ I feel like they are just careless.”


Illegal immigrant charged with ‘barbaric’ killing, rape of Paris 12-year-old found in box

The 12-year-old girl, identified only as Lola, was found dead in a plastic box in a Paris courtyard on Friday.
The 12-year-old girl, identified only as Lola, was found dead in a plastic box in a Paris courtyard on Friday.

The killing of the girl, identified only as Lola Daviet, has triggered an intense political debate on President Emmanuel Macron’s immigration policies after the country’s media reported that the 24-year-old suspect was an illegal immigrant from Algeria.

“The suspect in this barbaric act should not have been in our country,” Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right National Rally party, said Tuesday during a heated National Assembly session, demanding that Macron’s government put a stop to “uncontrolled immigration.”

The 24-year-old woman was arrested Saturday in a northeastern suburb of the capital. She remains in custody on charges of murder and rape of a minor, torture, acts of barbarity and concealment of a corpse, the Paris state prosecutor said Monday. 

A 43-year-old man is also in custody, charged with helping to hide the girl’s body, according to a prosecutors’ statement.

“Given the situation, I cannot deliver the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party,” Truss said. I have therefore spoken to His Majesty the King to notify him that I am resigning as leader of the Conservative Party.”

Truss said that a leadership election will take place “within the next week” and that she will stay on as prime minister “until a successor has been chosen.”

Truss’ announcement came soon after Home Secretary Suella Braverman resigned via a letter that slammed the prime minister.

“The business of government relies upon people accepting responsibility for their mistakes,” Braverman said. “Pretending we haven’t made mistakes, carrying on as if everyone can’t see that we have made them and hoping that things will magically come right is not serious politics.”
