NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Washington, D.C., has gone three weeks without a homicide for the first time in decades, a dramatic turnaround that U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro says is the result of President Trump’s leadership amid his crackdown on violent crime. Pirro argued the change was driven by an “enhanced federal partnership,” aggressive prosecution by her own office, stronger gun enforcement and the removal of repeat offenders, reflecting on how far D.C. has come since 2023 when it had the fourth-highest homicide rate in the country.”This is about getting chronic offenders off the street. It’s about making sure that there are consequences when we do get them off the streets. And it’s about taking guns off the street,” Pirro said Monday on “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”She boasted of “9,500 arrests and almost 1,000 guns taken off the streets” since the start of the crackdown. PIRRO TOUTS DC CRIME IS BEING PROSECUTED ‘LIKE NEVER BEFORE’ IN ANNOUNCING YEAR-END STATS Violent crimes in Washington have fallen since the deployment of the National Guard, but the move did, at first, face resistance from D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who in August pushed back on the idea of having “an armed militia…

SINGAPORE — The Taiwan-based company Tron Future has unveiled an AI-assisted system that guides anti-armor rockets, which could help to accelerate the training of civilians and soldiers during a war, according to the chief executive. The Singapore Airshow, organized here from Feb 3-8, marks the first time the T-Scope has been shown overseas. The device was designed specifically for unguided munitions and uses a variety of sensors and AI to instantly calculate and predict the projectile flight paths, taking into account environmental and physical factors. “What we’re doing rather than placing sensors on the rocket itself, is we are putting them into an AI-driven guidance kit, which essentially transforms unguided rockets into precision-guided munitions to improve their accuracy for cheaper,” Yu-Jiu Wang, the CEO of Tron Future, told Defense News. Taiwan has been gradually building up its inventory of anti-tank weapons, including an unknown number of unguided rocket-propelled grenades, to deter potential attacks. Wang said they were approached by one of the country’s leading defense institutes to develop a device that could help quickly mobilize personnel, if needed. “By combining automated complex ballistic calculations and displaying a live corrected aiming point, T.Scope allows soldiers to achieve marksman-level proficiency within a…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! FIRST ON FOX: A group of Senate Republicans warned the Trump administration that floods of “illicit Chinese e-cigarettes” entering the country carried a darker side effect.Several Senate Republicans alerted Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer in a letter first obtained by Fox News Digital that the Chinese government was reaping massive profits from the devices.And given that connection between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China’s State Tobacco Monopoly Administration (CSTMA), it’s possible that so-called smart vapes could be used as spying devices.TRUMP UNDERCUTS GOP PUSH TO ATTACH SAVE ACT TO SHUTDOWN BILL AS CONSERVATIVES THREATEN MUTINY The lawmakers charged that the “highly sophisticated” vapes had the ability to connect to a person’s cellphone and have become extremely commonplace.”These devices have the capacity to initiate data breaches or malware infections and can also access and collect sensitive user data,” they wrote. “Given the interconnected relationship between Chinese industry and state intelligence services, the targeting of U.S. military personnel with these devices raises profound national security concerns.”President Donald Trump made the crackdown against Chinese vapes one of the many side quests his administration pursued last year, going so far…

This article was originally published by Mike Adams at Natural News.  Introduction: A Stampede of Fear and an Opportunity to Stack On a recent Friday, the price of silver, the indispensable industrial metal and monetary asset, was violently taken to the slaughter. Headlines blared about a crash, and mainstream financial media quickly supplied a convenient, surface-level explanation. But for those who understand the true nature of the modern financial system, this was no ordinary market correction. It was a deliberate psychological terror campaign—a controlled demolition designed to engineer a stampede of fear. The goal was clear: to panic the holders of paper silver derivatives—the ETFs, futures contracts, and leveraged positions—into selling their assets at a catastrophic loss. While these paper traders were being cleaned out, a different class of investor saw the event for what it was: a monumental buying opportunity to acquire physical metal at a steep, artificial discount. As the dust settles with silver at a robust $79.39 per ounce, the true victors are those who held their nerve and their tangible ounces. Anatomy of a Controlled Demolition This crash did not occur in a vacuum. It followed a precise, time-tested blueprint for market manipulation. The first step…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says federal investigators are uncovering a “massive underground fraud network” in Minneapolis that he suggested helped fuel a sudden, coordinated push to drive ICE out of the city.”We had a massive fraud going on all through Minneapolis, all through Minnesota, and suddenly it turned. It turned almost on a dime, and it became suddenly all about ICE, all about getting ICE out and how horrible ICE was doing,” Blanche said Monday on “The Ingraham Angle.” “[We had] very strong pushback when we raised our hands and said ‘stop,’ so, yes, we have multiple investigations going on.”LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP WILL NOT ‘WAVER’ ON ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN DESPITE DEMOCRATIC BACKLASH Blanche also pointed to the financial dimensions of the case, noting that investigators are making “progress” in tracing funding streams connected to the alleged network. Blanche said unraveling those money trails is a priority for federal law enforcement, though he did not name specific individuals or sources.”It’s not something we’re going to do overnight,” he said, “But… it’s not just [a] coincidence that these massive numbers of protesters and rioters and agitators show up at the same time, and they’re…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! President Donald Trump urged Republicans to “take over” and “nationalize” voting on Monday.Trump made the comments during an interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Under the Constitution, states set the rules for both federal and state elections, establishing “the times, places, and manner of holding elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate.””The Republicans should say, ‘We want to take over,'” Trump told Bongino. “We should take over the voting … in at least many, 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that are so crooked and they’re counting votes.”Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer pounced on the idea during remarks on the floor of the Senate.JEFFRIES SAYS GOP ‘DONE EFF’D UP IN TEXAS,’ VOWS THEY WON’T WIN FIVE SEATS: ‘THEY CAN’T IGNORE IT’ “Just a few hours ago, Donald Trump said he wants to nationalize elections around the country.

Relations between President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro have swung sharply from open confrontation to cautious engagement over the past year, setting the stage for a pivotal White House meeting scheduled for Tuesday.Once considered a model partnership in the Western Hemisphere, U.S.–Colombia ties are now being tested by deep disagreements over drug policy, security cooperation and migration.Speaking to reporters ahead of the visit, President Donald Trump suggested the tone between the two leaders has shifted in recent weeks, while underscoring that drug trafficking will dominate the talks.”I mean, he’s been very nice over the last month or two,” Trump said during a press availability. “They were certainly critical before that.

Elections have consequences, and just a few days into Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s reign, Virginians are reaping the fruit of their ballot-box decisions. This is no longer a warning.Now that Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s watch has ended, that progress is under attack. In just weeks, a newly emboldened Democrat majority has moved to drain the budget surplus by expanding costly social programs while imposing unnecessary tax hikes on middle- and lower-class Virginians. Virginians are experiencing a swift, calculated wave of anti-business, anti-family and un-American policies that will irreparably decimate everything that makes Virginia great.We Virginians were spoiled under Youngkin’s administration.
