An investigation into the suspected killing of former British politician Ann Widdecombe is now being led by U.K. counterterrorism police, investigators said, days after announcing there was no evidence to suggest it was an act of terror.

A 28-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder after Widdecombe, 78, was found dead inside her home in an isolated village in Devon, southwest England, on Thursday, was re-arrested on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, Counter Terrorism Policing South East said in an update Monday, according to The Associated Press.

The suspect was first arrested on Saturday in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, two days after Widdecombe’s body was discovered. Rotherham is more than 320 kilometres from the former MP’s rural home.

The suspect has not been named because he has not been charged.

The Chinese communist government clearly sees the first of the Ten Commandments, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” as a threat.

As reported Sunday in The Telegraph, Chinese authorities have intensified a nationwide campaign against independent Christian congregations, arresting thousands of worshippers and forcing many of China’s “house churches” further underground.

Police have raided churches across the country, detained pastors and lay leaders, and expanded surveillance of believers who refuse to worship in state-approved churches.

Several Chinese Christians who fled the country told The Telegraph that believers increasingly feel they are being treated as enemies of the state simply because their highest allegiance is to God rather than to the Chinese Communist Party.

One Christian told the newspaper that “there is no freedom left,” while another described living under constant surveillance and fearing arrest for attending ordinary worship services. Others said authorities have pressured Christians to join government-controlled churches whose preaching is closely monitored by the Communist Party.

Lib Sen Says SAVE Act Would ‘Make It Hard’ For Dems To Win– thefederalist.com

Leftist Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., has lost a lot of weight in recent months. She hasn’t gained any integrity.

At a town hall with constituents, the Michigan Democrat said the quit part out loud, explaining why her party opposes the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, also known as the SAVE America Act. The legislative package would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and photo identification to cast a ballot, and it would demand states clean up their dirty voter rolls. As The Federalist has reported, the vast majority of voters in poll after poll support the election integrity reforms.

So why has almost every Democrat in the House voted against it, and why is every Democrat in the Senate blocking the bill from reaching the floor for an up or down vote?

Slotkin explained what we’ve known for some time: Democrats are much more concerned about making it easier to vote than they are about making it hard to cheat. Democrats, as Slotkin unwittingly noted, lose elections when elections are secured.

EXCERPT:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and journalist Nick Shirley blew the lid open on how fraudsters in Minnesota used taxpayer funds to support a vicious radical terrorist group in Somalia.

Johnson questioned Shirley during a Wednesday Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee (HSGAC) hearing on government fraud.

“I mean, $700 million in cash flowing out of the Minneapolis airport back to, you know, countries in Africa,” Johnson said. “Have either of you gentlemen kind of investigated the foreign sourcing or an organization of a lot of this fraud? I mean, we’re opening up to foreign governments to fund their own operations.”

Shirley responded by saying “it’s been proven that a lot of the money in suitcases that left Minnesota went back into the hands of people inside Somalia.”

He further explained that in New York, daycare fraud is so rampant that at many facilities, nobody “actually knows who the owner is.”

EXCERPT:

Cuba suffered another blackout of the National Electric System, or SEN, on Tuesday, leaving the entire island country without power, officials said, in what was the third such incident in less than two weeks as a US oil embargo stresses the island’s grid.

Since January, when US President Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on any nation that supplies or sells oil to the island, fuel has been scarce across Cuba, exacerbating the island’s continuing financial and economic crises.

Public transportation has largely been halted, and officials have cancelled tens of thousands of surgeries.

Cuba produces only 40% of the fuel it needs, and a solution for fuel imports is not yet in sight.

The state-owned Electric Union reported that a problem with a generating unit in the eastern province of Holguín caused “a sudden frequency change”, resulting in the SEN blackout around midday.

Donald Trump is reportedly planning a massive new offensive in Iran after being rushed to a situation room meeting.

The US President said the fragile ceasefire with Iran was over last week as he lashed out at its leaders – calling them “scum” – which has been followed by missile strikes from both sides in the region over the past few days.

A naval blockade was imposed on Iran today and airstrikes have intensified in retaliation for Tehran’s attacks on ships trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The American strikes hit an Iranian army barracks, killed at least seven troops and wounded more than 260 people across the country, Iranian officials said.

The race-hustling mainstream media are trying to stoke public outrage over the death of a Mexican national who was hit by a truck while running onto a highway in order to flee Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

As a reminder, these same media stooges repeatedly ignore or downplay the countless deaths of Americans who are raped, beaten, or killed by illegal aliens.

In the latest example of the Darwin Awards, a Mexican migrant died on Tuesday while fleeing ICE officers he had encountered at a Wawa convenience store in St. Augustine, Florida.

“While running away, the 28-year-old man crossed SR-16 and was hit by a semi-truck,” according to WTLV-TV in Jacksonville. “The truck driver stopped immediately and attempted to render aid, but the man died at the scene.”

New Docs Support Claims Jack Smith’s Team Violated Constitution– thefederalist.com

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office analyzed the text messages of some 40-plus Members of Congress, with newly released internal documents indicating that the lead investigators ignored the established filter team review process — a process instituted to protect attorney-client privileged communications. Those documents, released Tuesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, following whistleblowers tips, prove even more damning, though, to the special counsel’s brazen disregard of the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause.

On Monday, Sen. Grassley made public a letter and records he obtained jointly with his colleague, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., as part of their oversight of the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI under the Biden Administration. That cover letter from the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs explained to the senators that Special Counsel Smith’s team had established a filter team intended to protect privileged communications obtained during the investigators’ targeting of Donald Trump.

While the filter team protocols provided that “[n]o materials shall be disclosed to the investigative team without approval of a filter team attorney,” the DOJ’s Office of Legislative Affairs explained that documents uncovered based on whistleblower disclosures revealed that the special counsel’s office “apparently bypassed the Filter Team and directly accessed these text messages.” The “text messages” referenced were “text messages between White House personnel and several Senators and Representatives,” namely 44 different Members of Congress.

In a sign of the continuing breakdown of religious freedom in Europe, Finnish parliament member Päivi Räsänen was banned by the U.K. from traveling to Heathrow Airport for a planned layover due to her Finnish Supreme Court conviction in March for authoring a pamphlet containing supposed “hate speech” toward those who identify as LGBT.

Räsänen’s legal saga began in 2019, when she wrote a post on social media questioning why her Finnish Lutheran Church was choosing to participate in an LGBT Pride event, citing the scriptural prohibition against same-sex conduct from Romans 1:24-27. Finnish authorities eventually charged her and Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola with “hate speech” for authoring a pamphlet advocating for a biblical view of sexuality and for the social media post.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. military will leave Iraq by the end of September, American and Iraqi officials said Tuesday, following a 23-year presence that started with the 2003 invasion against Saddam Hussein and ended with much smaller operations against the Islamic State group.

President Donald Trump, standing alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi at the White House, said “we don’t think we need the military there anymore” and noted Iraq’s growing relationships with oil companies.

“The relationship is a whole big relationship where we don’t need the military,” Trump said. “We’re there to help them. We’re there to protect them if need be. But we don’t think that’s going to be necessary.”

Speaking through an interpreter, al-Zaidi said “U.S. forces will be out of Iraq” by Sept. 30, “while U.S. companies will be inside Iraq.”

Multiple book publishers sued Google on Tuesday for allegedly stealing copyrighted content, using it to train artificial intelligence (AI) models and then generating content that “directly” competes with the original authors’ work.

“The scale and speed at which Gemini can create books and compete with human writers is unprecedented,” the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit, which requests class action status, was filed in New York by Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, Elsevier, author Scott Turow and his publishing company S.C.R.I.B.E.

They allege that “Google secretly copied millions of works” that were provided to Google Books and other services for “limited purposes” and then used that content to train Gemini, its AI model.

Furthermore, they claim the content generated by Gemini directly competes with the authors who wrote the original work.

Britain will introduce a default overnight curfew on social media apps for 16- and 17-year-olds, the government said, adding new restrictions for older teenagers to its plan to introduce a sweeping ban on social media for under-16s.

Affected users would be blocked from using apps between midnight and 6 a.m. unless they change the default setting. Features designed to keep users scrolling for longer, including videos that automatically play one after another, would also be switched off by default.

The new measures aim to prevent a cliff edge for those who will gain access to social media when they turn 16, and offer some protection from the negative effects of late-night scrolling.

“These measures will be crucial in helping young people get the sleep they need, focus on school and college, and spend more quality time with family and friends,” technology minister Liz Kendall said in a statement.

California Assembly members recently peered into the garage of a suburban hobbyist and experienced a collective panic attack. Their legislative response, Assembly Bill 2047, presents itself as a targeted strike against the DIY firearm industry. This classification completely misrepresents the mechanics of the law. The actual mechanism establishes a permanent legal framework in which consumer hardware operates as an automated, inescapable agent of the state.

The statute mandates that every 3D printer sold in California must run mandatory screening software. This system intercepts every digital file, compares the geometric coordinates against a government-maintained database of banned shapes, and shuts down the machine if it detects a forbidden curve. Property law historically recognized a distinct boundary between an object and its purchaser. Under this new system, the state retains ultimate operational veto power over the physical components sitting on your workshop desk, rendering your financial investment and your purchase receipt completely meaningless.
