Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) went scorched earth on failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris this week, when he heard — seemingly for the first time — what she wrote about Shapiro in her then-unpublished memoir. Shapiro, who was once considered to be Harris’ running mate, bluntly stated that the former VP told “blatant lies” about him and said she was trying to “cover her *ss” and “sell books.” Harris claims in “107 Days” that Shapiro was overbearing and suggests he wanted to be a co-president if they won the election. Shapiro had “mused that he would want to be in the room for every decision,” Harris also says, adding that this made her tell Shapiro that “a vice president is not a co-president.” Harris also wrote that she questioned if Shapiro “would be unable to settle for a role as number two and that it would wear on our partnership.” During an interview with The Atlantic, Shapiro was told about these comments, which were apparently unbeknownst to him at the time. “I did ask a bunch of questions,” he reacted. “Wouldn’t you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?” 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

Shapiro was also told that Harris wrote that the governor asked her residence manager how many bedrooms were in the vice-presidential residence and was curious if the Smithsonian might work with him to loan Pennsylvania art for the house. Those comments, according to The Atlantic, set off Shapiro. “That’s complete and utter bullsh*t,” Shapiro said. “I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.” Asked if he felt betrayed by Harris, Shapiro continued to go off: “I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her *ss,” he said. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her *ss.’ I think that’s not appropriate … She’s trying to sell books. Period.” Harris performed incredibly poorly in her 2024 run for the White House against President Donald Trump. She decided against Shapiro as her VP pick, and instead chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who tanked a debate against Vice President JD Vance. Walz was also plagued by past scandals during the campaign. Some speculated at the time that Harris opted for Walz over Shapiro since the latter is Jewish, which wouldn’t sit well with far-Left Democrats who are anti-Israel or even antisemitic.

Federal immigration officials arrested a man allegedly linked to the terrorist group that killed 13 American soldiers during the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday arrested Jaan Shah Safi in Waynesboro, Virginia, located about 100 miles from Washington D.C. Safi is a terrorist linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, according to the Department of Homeland Security. “The Biden administration brought this terrorist into the U.S. under the disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program. This terrorist was arrested miles from our nation’s capital where our brave National Guard heroes, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, were shot just days ago by another unvetted Afghan terrorist brought into our country,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a statement. Noem blamed the Biden administration for creating “one of the worst national security crises in American history” with its botched handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tens of thousands of Afghans that immigrated to the United States as a result. “Biden let into our country nearly 190,000 unvetted Afghan aliens–only determining who they were and their intentions when they were already on American soil. President Trump has been working every day since January 20 to clean up this unmitigated national security crisis,” said Noem. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

The airport at the time was serving as the headquarters for U.S. operations extracting service members and others from the country, including thousands of Afghanis. On August 26, ISIS-K conducted a terror attack in which a bomb was detonated outside the airport’s Abbey Gate, killing 13 U.S. service members along with dozens of Afghans. Safi is the third Afghan that entered the United States during the Afghanistan withdrawal arrested in the past week. On November 26, law enforcement arrested Rahmanullah Lakanwal after officers said he shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. One of the guardsmen, Sarah Beckstrom, died from her injuries while the other, Andrew Wolfe, is still fighting for his life. A day prior to the attack, law enforcement in Texas arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay on charges of making terroristic threats after he allegedly posted a video to social media threatening to carry out a suicide bombing attack against Americans.

Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Malls fill with people looking to get the best deals of the season. This year, thousands went to Valley Fair Mall in San Jose, California, expecting to shop and have fun. No one expected gang-related violence to erupt. NBC Bay Area reported that a 17-year-old allegedly shot at a rival gang member in a mall filled with people. As they heard the gunfire, shoppers scattered. Some made it out to their cars, but others, on foot, just kept running. Dozens wound up across the street where the Garcia family lives. Doorbell camera footage captured the couple’s unparalleled kindness. @abc7newsbayarea Doorbell camera video shows San Jose couple Martin and Irene Garcia opening the doors of their home to let over 50 fleeing shoppers in to hide inside after a gunman opened fire inside Valley Fair Mall on Black Friday. Martin and his wife quickly turned their home into a place of refuge for the next six hours — ordering pizza, praying together, and listening to Christmas music. The couple lives about a block away from the mall, where three shooting victims were left with non-life threatening injuries.

She told him about the shooting, and without hesitation, the Garcia family ushered her inside. Martin did the same thing for more than 30 people. Not only did he let them into his home, but they ordered pizza. “Just for a second, I thought maybe it was a prank,” Martin Garcia told NBC Bay Area. “Or, maybe I was being pranked because they all ran to the back of the house. And I looked, and there were more people. And I realized there’s something bad going on. I got to let them in the house.” Orieyonna Johnson told NBC Bay Area she felt so blessed to find Martin and his family. “We landed in the street of our wonderful new friends, the angels, the Garcia family,” she said. “And that was a breathtaking moment — the love and the comfort that we felt when Mr. Garcia opened his arms like an angel.” The moment touched many who thanked the Garcias for their kindness. “The true meaning of ‘love thy neighbor.’ The Garcia family deserves all the love and blessings,” someone wrote. “I hope everyone understands how big this was for them to do, because they had no way of knowing if the people coming by were telling the truth and they took the risk that someone was just lying to do them harm. I hate that you have to consider that l, but you do,” another person wrote. The Garcia family inspired many. “I pray this situation never occurs but I would open my door in a heartbeat as well. there is hope for humanity,” a TikToker shared. What a blessing. We need far more Garcia Families in our world today. This story’s featured image can be found here.

Dating, marriage, long-term relationships, they’re all difficult. Committing yourself to one person takes more than just love. It also takes courage and an open mind. You and your partner will likely have opposing views on at least a few things. Sometimes, that opposition makes a relationship impossible. And for others, they get along so well that arguments rarely, if ever, happen. George Clooney appeared on the New Heights podcast with the Kelce brothers and admitted he and his wife, Amal Clooney, have never fought during their 10-year relationship. The men quickly turned to Travis Kelce to hear how often he and Taylor Swift fight it out. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift Don’t Fight Travis Kelce said he and Taylor Swift are much like George and Amal and don’t fight. “Well, it’s only been two and a half years, and you’re right. I haven’t gotten into an argument. Never once,” he said. George admitted that he and Amal just don’t want to waste time fighting. “Dude, I’m 64 years old. And what am I gonna argue about at this point? You know? I’ve met this incredible woman that is, she’s beautiful and smart, and she stands for all the most important things that I believe in the world,” George said. “And I can’t believe how lucky I am. So what am I going to fight about?” The episode was a hit with fans. They loved watching the three men interact. “Travis loves his icy games & Taylor loves her rain shows. Match made,” a fan wrote. “This podcast was off the hook today.good Lord,gentlemen! Lmao I think I must have said, “what is happening right now?” While laughing because you were laughing! You two are hilarious! Love New Heights!” Another person joked. Do you believe Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift never fight? This story’s featured image can be found here.

Wednesday's Final Word

Globally, the average man stands between 5 feet, 3 inches tall and 6 feet, 0.4 inches tall. Women usually stand between 4 feet, 11 inches tall and 5 feet, 7 inches tall. But what about the people who don’t? People who stand above or below those ranges have always captured the attention of the public, whether they’re the tallest man to ever live or the shortest living woman. There have been many remarkably small people throughout history. However, many of the shortest people in the world haven’t been properly recorded or recognized until more recently. Let’s take a look at some of the verified cases of history’s smallest people. From the shortest adult person ever recorded to the littlest married couple, here are the stories of 10 of the shortest people in the world. The Shortest Man Ever: Chandra Bahadur Dangi Wikimedia CommonsChandra Bahadur Dangi is the shortest man ever recorded. Standing just 1 foot, 9.5 inches tall, Chandra Bahadur Dangi holds the record for the shortest adult person to ever live. Born on Nov. 30, 1939, in the village of Reemkholi in Nepal, Dangi lived rather privately for most of his life. Until he was publicly declared the shortest man on Earth, Dangi didn’t leave his home village. He worked as a weaver and a farmer — much like the others in his small agricultural community — to help support his family. He never got married. Instead, he lived with one of his brothers and some other relatives. Though some of his seven siblings were also short (and others were of average height), Dangi was clearly the shortest of them all. Guinness World RecordsChandra Bahadur Dangi was a primordial dwarf, and he lived remarkably long considering his condition. Dangi was a local curiosity in his small village, not garnering much outside publicity due to how remote the village was. That all changed when a forest contractor noticed the man and told local news outlets about Dangi. This attracted the attention of Guinness World Records, and in 2012, the organization came out to Kathmandu to independently measure Dangi and verify that he was, in fact, the shortest man to ever live. At 72 years old, Dangi quickly began to gain international fame for his record-breaking height. Wikimedia CommonsUnfortunately, Chandra Bahadur Dangi died just three years after setting his record. Dangi also finally got to fulfill his lifelong dream of traveling the world, eventually visiting the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, and the United States. However, Dangi died just three years later at the age of 75. At the time, he was touring in American Samoa when he developed pneumonia and succumbed to the infection in Pago Pago on Sept. 3, 2015.
