http://youtu.be/95XU65RkFXU The US Army has charged defector Travis King with several offenses including desertion for sprinting into North Korea in July — as well as the solicitation of child pornography and other crimes dating back to at least last year. The wide-ranging case against King, who spent over two months in the custody of North Korean law enforcement, includes eight distinct charges under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, according to court records obtained by Reuters. The Army claims the private had the intention of abandoning his military duties permanently when he ditched his South Korean post by running across the demilitarized border into the totalitarian country. He “did remain so absent in desertion until on or about 27 September 2023,” when the hermit kingdom r...

http://youtu.be/G_1nC0V-KjM Rep. Jim Jordan kicked off a third day of voting in the House with a history lesson, highlighting the herculean task before House Republicans to "step up" and elect him speaker by the end of the day. "I represent Wapakoneta, Ohio, Auglaize County, Ohio, hometown of Neil Armstrong, who 22 years after Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier, steps on the moon," Jordan said in a Capitol Hill press conference around 8 a.m. The Ohio Republican leaned on anecdotes from a visit to the Wright Brothers National Museum in his home state as well as his "favorite scripture verse" in brief remarks calling his caucus to action. "Stop and think about it," Jordan told reporters. "In 66 years, one lifetime, we went from two guys flying a hundred feet to putting a man on the mo...

http://youtu.be/Hb6fP1mI4Xg The chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway has admitted he beat the young Alabama woman to death on a beach in Aruba after she refused his advances, then dumped her body into the sea. New details in the killing emerged Wednesday as Joran van der Sloot pleaded guilty to extorting Holloway’s mother. He sought a quarter of a million dollars to tell the family the location of their daughter's remains. His confession appears to resolve a case that has captivated the public’s attention for nearly 20 years. Van der Sloot's 20-year sentence for extortion will run concurrently with prison time he's serving for another murder in Peru. #nataleeholloway #joranvandersloot #bethholloway The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about ...

http://youtu.be/oWujG5jvwW4 Rep. Jim Jordan failed to win the speaker’s gavel in a third round of voting, with 25 members voting against him. Earlier Friday, Jordan kicked off the day with a call for House Republicans to “step up” and elect him by the end of the day to break the gridlock. The Ohio Republican compared the difficult task ahead of his colleagues to America having put “a man on the moon” in “one lifetime” — as he faces more than 20 members who have opposed his speakership bid thus far. “The quickest way to get all this work done is to get a speaker elected — that’s what I hope we can do today,” Jordan said. The founding member of the House Freedom Caucus has not received more than 200 votes to succeed ousted Speaker McCarthy as the next leader of the House of Representati...

http://youtu.be/q8BzWQvY55g A Greek Orthodox church in the Gaza Strip which was sheltering hundreds of displaced Palestinians was hit overnight by an Israeli air strike, the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem and Palestinian health officials said. Gaza's Hamas-run government media office said 18 Christian Palestinians were killed. There was no word from the church on any final death toll. The Israeli military said a part of the church was damaged in a strike on a militant command centre and it was reviewing the incident. Palestinian officials said at least 500 Muslims and Christians had taken shelter in the church from Israeli bombardments. The Orthodox Church said in a statement: "The Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expresses its strongest condemnation of the Israeli air strike th...

http://youtu.be/5LBSpqFm074 Starbucks and the union representing nearly 9,000 of its baristas filed warring lawsuits on Wednesday after Workers United posted messages on social media declaring “Solidarity with Palestine!” in the wake of Hamas’ deadly attacks. NY Post Business reporter Shannon Thaler shares this story. Starbucks sued the union in Iowa federal court for trademark infringement, demanding that the union stop using “the Starbucks name and other identifying symbols.” The lawsuit said “customers [were] misled and confused over the source or endorsement” of Starbucks Workers United’s pro-Palestinian message because of the union’s name and the two entities’ similar circular, green-and-white logos. The coffeehouse chain noted that it hasn’t been successful in “distinguishing it...

http://youtu.be/H0SVrBr2PWQ An attorney for former President Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign whom prosecutors called the “architect” of a scheme to overturn the Republican’s defeat pleaded guilty in a Georgia courtroom Friday. Kenneth Chesebro admitted to a single count of felony conspiracy to commit filing false documents just as jury selection in his case was getting underway, becoming the second lawyer linked to the 77-year-old Trump to plead guilty in as many days.

Chesebro was sentenced by Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee to five years’ probation and 100 hours of community service. He was also ordered to pay $5,000 in restitution, write an apology letter to Georgia’s resi...

http://youtu.be/On5zJNM-rW0 Two American hostages abducted by Hamas in early October have been released “for humanitarian reasons,” the terrorist group announced Friday. “In response to Qatari efforts, Al-Qassam Brigades released two American citizens (a mother and her daughter) for humanitarian reasons, and to prove to the American people and the world that the claims made by Biden and his fascist administration are false and baseless,” Hamas said in a statement, according to the Times of Israel. The pair were identified as Judith Raanan and her 18-year-old daughter, Natalie, a senior Israeli official told the Times of Israel. A source close to the issue also confirmed their identity to Fox News Digital. Israel’s Channel 12 later added that “Israeli sources” confirmed the women’s rel...

http://youtu.be/HwQdkpNgIOM Hardline conservative Republican Jim Jordan's quest to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives ended on Friday (October 20) as his fellow Republicans revoked their support following a third, failed vote on the House floor, lawmakers said. Jordan told reporters that he had been honored to be a candidate but that the his caucus had informed him that he should drop out of the race. Republicans voted 112-86 to revoke Jordan's nomination in a closed-door meeting. The secret-ballot vote means the chamber will be leaderless and unable to respond to President Joe Biden's request for aid to Ukraine and Israel until next week at the earliest. Support for Jordan's candidacy faded over the course of the week. He received 194 votes in a third round of balloti...

http://youtu.be/ym_82p2PtzY Apple and its CEO Tim Cook have been remarkably quiet when it comes to the Hamas attacks on Israel – and sources speculate it has something to do with China.

Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) bowed out of the running to become House speaker Friday after failing on a third ballot, clearing the way for new candidates to take their shot at the gavel next week.
