What to know about the investigations into the Brown University shooting and the killing of an MIT professor:
The suspect in the Dec. 13 mass shooting on the campus of Brown University has been found dead in a storage unit in Salem, New Hampshire, sources told CBS News. Two students were killed and nine were wounded in the shooting. Multiple sources familiar with the investigation had told CBS News earlier Thursday that a person of interest has been identified in the shooting.
Ready for another exciting episode of "Rampant Welfare Fraud Costs the Taxpayers Billions?" Well, here we are; this time it's Colorado, and the fraud has to do with housing assistance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Investigators have uncovered 221 people receiving federal housing assistance who have no business receiving it, unless one can consider a coffin or an urn "housing." That's right. 221 dead people, out of almost 3,000 people in Colorado who were improperly receiving benefits from HUD. Here's the question: Were these just mistakes, the results of bad record-keeping, or deliberate fraud? Not that either is exactly a comfortable finding; when the answer
The European Union continues to hammer away at American companies under the guise of "Digital Regulation." The Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) have become tools of economic and political aggression, masquerading as consumer protection. All of this, of course, under the European guise of "protecting democracy." (snip) What the EU is doing is nothing less than an extraterritorial power play meant to export European censorship norms into America.
Federal prosecutors announced new indictments Thursday in the widening Minnesota fraud scandal, this time involving two Philadelphia-based men accused of traveling to Minneapolis after a friend told them the taxpayer funded programs there "presented a good opportunity to make money." (snip) Unlike many of the individuals caught up in the state's sprawling fraud scandal, they don't appear to have ties to Minnesota's large Somali community. Prosecutors say they don't have ties to Minnesota at all. "Minnesota has become a magnet for fraud -- so much that we have developed a fraud tourism industry" (snip.)
The Brown University shooting probe reportedly reached Salem, New Hampshire, on Thursday. After reports linked the Providence incident to the murder of MIT professor Nuno Loureiro, a large police presence was seen in the Rockingham County town. Boston 25 reporter Bob Ward cited law enforcement sources to state that the search for a suspect in the Brown University mass shooting and the Brookline murder is centered on Salem, New Hampshire. Officials are yet to make a statement about the reported development. HT.com cannot verify the latest report currently.

United States Attorney Leah Foley of the District of Massachusetts announced Wednesday that two Haitian immigrants to the United States were facing food stamp fraud charges.
Antonio Bonheur, 74, of Mattapan, and Saul Alisme, 21, of Hyde Park, were each indicted on a single count of food stamp fraud over a scheme that bilked over $7 million in benefits from two bodegas in the Boston area, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) release. Foley described how the bodega owners ripped off taxpayers during a press conference. "These defendants exchanged SNAP benefits for cash, which they pocketed.

The Most Explosive Book Of 2026
replies
Yes, they waged war on us. That's the simplest way to summarize what the government, technocratic elite, security state, and media did to the American people in 2016. It's also the premise behind what is sure to be the most important and explosive book of 2026. That book, The Information State: Politics in the Age Of Total Control by Jacob Siegel, explores the ways the crazed reactions of these parts of society to the arrival of Donald Trump drove them to label him "a threat to American democracy" and take actions that, ironically, turned them into the very threat they warned us against.

Urged to Act and Use Frozen Russian Billions
to Fund Ukraine replies
Europe faces a question of “money today, or blood tomorrow”, its leaders were told as they entered crunch meetings on whether to approve a financial structure using frozen Russian assets to enable a mega loan to Ukraine.
The leaders of European Union member states met for a session of the European Council on Thursday, talks which are expected to go all day, for discussions on using frozen Russian assets held in European countries to guarantee a loan to Ukraine to keep it solvent. The European Union believes Kyiv needs a cash injection of $160 billion to pay for its military and civil expenses for the next two years
White males who have faced discrimination should file a federal complaint, the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says.
In a video posted on social media Thursday, EEOC Acting Chairwoman Andrea Lucas advised potential victims of discrimination to file complaints in a timely manner.
“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?” Lucas said. “You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws.” The Trump administration has opposed diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in the government, and terminated DEI federal grants.
A person has a deadline of 180 days from the alleged discrimination to make a complaint,
On January 14, Charles Foehner will begin serving a four-year prison sentence.
Yes, New Yorkers, we can finally rest easy. We got him. And by him, I mean a 67-year-old man who poses no danger to society.
Foehner is a retired doorman with the gift of gab, a devoted wife, and a habit of saying “groovy.” He spends his time watching naval history videos on YouTube. While there are many violent criminals with rap sheets the length of a CVS receipt walking our streets, Queens DA Melinda Katz decided to throw the book at this senior citizen, after he pleaded guilty to owning unlicensed guns.

Protesters stormed a wine bar where Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was enjoying a quiet evening, confronting him about President Trump’s economic policies and accusing him of contributing to global suffering. "We have a special guest here, and we want to make a toast, to the Secretary of Treasury, Scott Bessent. So let's give it up, for the man who eating in peace as people starve across the world, based on his sanctions, which are economic warfare."
Several diners and Bessent himself began to boo the protesters, as one protester is heard yelling, "Of course you're going to boo this, it's the truth."

America Caucus' aimed at defending 'Western civilization' replies
A pair of conservative lawmakers is launching a new group in the House of Representatives to "protect Western civilization in the United States," according to one of its founders. Reps. Keith Self, R-Texas, and Chip Roy, R-Texas, are starting the "Sharia Free America Caucus," Fox News Digital learned first.
"Anytime you go to a fight, you bring as many friends with you as you can. I'm a military guy," Self told Fox News Digital. "So what we need to do is build this caucus now so that we can start educating the American people to the dangers of Sharia in the United States." Self said it was "fundamentally incompatible
Washington Republicans have introduced new legislation that would add a slate of Christian and Jewish holy days to the state’s list of “legislatively recognized” observances, months after Washington enacted a law recognizing the Muslim holidays Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha on the eve of Passover and Easter, without recognizing those holidays. On April 9, 2025, Gov. Bob Ferguson signed Senate Bill 5106, which added Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to Washington’s list of state-recognized observances, on the event of Passover and Easter, without recognizing the Jewish and Christian holidays. The governor’s office described the move as making Washington the first state to officially recognize the two Eid holidays, while emphasizing
After the European Commission levied a several-hundred-million-dollar fine on Elon Musk and his social media platform X earlier this month, journalist Michael Shellenberger wrote a damning post in which he excoriated Europe’s rank censorship and state-sponsored propaganda. He accused the commission of engaging “in a deception campaign aimed at confusing” Europeans and Americans into thinking that European elites’ “goal” is anything other than “to censor the American people.” Shellenberger pointed out that Musk’s fine came while European governments are demanding backdoor access to all private text messages (under the pretense of combatting the transmission of child pornography) and creating a so-called “Democracy Shield”
Back during the Biden administration, the FBI appeared to be solely focused on rounding up conservatives. At the same time, all kinds of other crimes in their mandate -- spies, terrorism, blue-city corruption -- showed little evidence of activity or results.
Obviously, that allowed the crazies on the left to grow in number and get bolder in their plans, but the results seen now suggest some impressive corrective work. It looks like the FBI -- and the many law enforcement agencies that helped them -- is back.
The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will now bear the names of two American presidents after its board of trustees voted unanimously on Thursday to rename the institution “The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.” The decision, announced on December 18, 2025, marks a historic renaming of the iconic Washington, DC, venue. The board’s unanimous decision recognizes Chairman Donald J. Trump’s role in saving the institution from what Roma Daravi, Vice President of Public Relations at the Kennedy Center, described as “financial ruin and physical destruction.”

Do Not Look Away on This One

The ramifications are enormous here, not just to Brown University, Providence Rhode Island or local/state officials. The ramifications here extend into every facet of the leftist operation to disrupt law and order in the United States.
Do not look away from the story of the targeted assassination on the campus of Brown University, or the coverup surrounding why information is not available. Brown University was attempting to create the ultimate leftist locale where every leftist idea and outlook was affirmed, and all leftist policies were implemented. The implications here are extremely important. Do not look away. WATCH: (Video)
An airplane linked to former NASCAR star Greg Biffle crashed while landing at a North Carolina regional airport on Thursday morning.
The plane was identified as a Cessna C550 with the tail number N257BW, which is owned by GB Aviation Leasing LLC, according to federal aviation records. The company is owned by Biffle. It crashed at Statesville Regional Airport. Iredell County Sheriff Grant Campbell said he could "confirm there were fatalities" in the crash. Officials didn’t identify who the deceased were or how many people were on board the plane.

America has a lot of secrets: the nuclear launch codes, what’s going on at Area 51, Bigfoot, why the Denver International Airport seems so odd, whatever happened to D. B. Cooper, and exactly what evidence convinced several U.S. government agencies that the most likely cause of the Covid-19 pandemic was a lab leak.
And over at the Democratic National Committee, they’re locking up the biggest secret of all: why the Democrats lost the 2024 election.

Charlie Kirk assassin suspect Tyler Robinson made jokes about how conservative figures will “catch a bullet one day,” and mocked attempted Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks for failing to “shoot straight.” Robinson, who once bragged about being able to hit a 400-yard shot, began openly adopting left-wing stances after getting into a relationship with his transgender roommate, whom he was seen physically coddling while the trans cried over politics, friends and former colleagues told the Washington Post.
The newspaper spoke with 21 people who knew Robinson and examined hundreds of messages the assassin suspect exchanged online, as well as in a Discord server

Room During Shooting replies
It's now into the fifth day since the shooting at Brown University, where someone killed two students and injured nine. Meanwhile, the press conferences have projected incompetence from the authorities, which hasn't given the public a lot of confidence that they're going to find the killer.
On Wednesday, they announced they had a second person they wanted to speak to, who they characterized as having been in the vicinity of the primary person of interest for whom they are looking.
They already released one "person of interest" who they had briefly detained.
When Donald Trump took the oath of office in January, he inherited an economic mess courtesy of Joe Biden — soaring inflation, record-high gas prices, and a cost-of-living crisis that had American families scrambling to make ends meet. As we close in on a full year of Trump being back in office, there’s no doubt that things are turning around. Inflation has been slashed by more than half, gas prices are plummeting, real wages are climbing, and the everyday expenses that crushed household budgets under Biden are finally moving in the right direction. Even job creation is happening for native born Americans, not foreign workers.
Inflation dropped in November, ending a monthslong acceleration of price increases and offering relief for households strained by cost hikes, government data on Thursday showed. The reading came in below economists' expectations.
Consumer prices rose 2.7% in November compared to a year earlier, marking a notable reduction from 3% year-over-year inflation in September, the most recent month for which complete data is available. Inflation stands at its lowest level since July. The report offered the first look at price increases in nearly two months, after the 43-day government shutdown impaired data collection.
Despite an overall reduction of inflation, some high-profile items like coffee and beef continued to soar in November.
