The U.N. Security Council approved President Trump’s plan for ending the Gaza conflict between Israel and Hamas to establish peace in the area. The 15-member council voted 13-0 in favor of the plan, with abstentions by Russia and China. Russia and China declined to use their veto power to block the resolution. #BREAKING UN Security Council ADOPTS resolution authorizing a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force in #Gaza, as outlined in a United States “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict”. VOTE RESULT: In favor: 13 Against: 0 Abstain: 2 pic.twitter.com/mMFeePRfdh — UN News (@UN_News_Centre) November 17, 2025 Newsweek shared: The vote marks a critical step in reinforcing a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and comes as several Arab and Muslim nations consider contributing troops to help secure Gaza. Many governments had made clear they would only participate with Security Council authorization in place. The resolution formally endorses Trump’s 20-point ceasefire blueprint, which calls for a new transitional “Board of Peace” headed by the president and empowers a multinational stabilization force to oversee Gaza’s borders, provide security and guide the territory’s demilitarization. Both the board and the force are authorized through the end of 2027. Winning approval required significant revisions, particularly stronger language on Palestinian self-determination demanded by Arab states and the Palestinian leadership. The final text says that after the Palestinian Authority enacts reforms and Gaza’s reconstruction advances, “the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.” It also commits the United States to establishing a dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians on “a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.” “Congratulations to the World on the incredible Vote of the United Nations Security Council, just moments ago, acknowledging and endorsing the BOARD OF PEACE, which will be chaired by me, and include the most powerful and respected Leaders throughout the World. This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!” Trump said on Truth Social. “Thank you to the United Nations, and all of the Countries on the U.N. Security Council, China, Russia, France, The United Kingdom, Algeria, Denmark, Greece, Guyana, South Korea, Pakistan, Panama, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, and Somalia. Also thank you to those Countries that weren’t on this Committee, but strongly backed the effort, including Qatar, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Turkiye, and Jordan. The members of the Board, and many more exciting announcements, will be made in the coming weeks,” he added. “Today’s UN Security Council resolution endorsing President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan is a historic milestone in building a peaceful and prosperous Gaza governed by the Palestinian people—not Hamas,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said. “@POTUS is advancing real, measurable change in the region. With this vote, we’re closer than ever to achieving a demilitarized, deradicalized, and stable Gaza,” he added. Today’s UN Security Council resolution endorsing President Trump’s 20-Point Peace Plan is a historic milestone in building a peaceful and prosperous Gaza governed by the Palestinian people—not Hamas. @POTUS is advancing real, measurable change in the region. With this vote,… — Secretary Marco Rubio (@SecRubio) November 17, 2025 CNN has more: US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had acknowledged the need for an “international mandate” to support the plan. Notably, the resolution also contains a reference to Palestinian statehood, stating that “after the (Palestinian Authority) reform program is faithfully carried out and Gaza redevelopment has advanced, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.” “The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence,” the draft said. The resolution states that the Board would also oversee the disarmament of Hamas and other factions — a key Israeli demand — and the reconstruction of Gaza. Ahead of the vote, Waltz warned that “a vote against this resolution is a vote to return to war.” He applauded its passage, saying it “represents another significant step towards a stable Gaza that will be able to prosper, and an environment that will allow Israel to live in security.” Although the resolution has passed, many questions remain about its implementation, with the draft appearing vague on sequencing and detail.

This just in: the acting administrator of FEMA David Richardson is stepping down. JUST IN: The acting administrator of FEMA resigns after roughly six months leading the agency, two administration officials confirm to NBC News. https://t.co/buPk7lBwxM — NBC News (@NBCNews) November 17, 2025 JUST IN: Acting head of FEMA David Richardson RESIGNS pic.twitter.com/AwpF4VlJLu — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 17, 2025 Richardson had been leading the agency for around six months. He was appointed to the role following President Trump’s first acting chief Cameron Hamilton being ousted by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Now, Richardson has announced that he will be leaving the agency and returning to the private sector. The New York Post reported: Richardson, a former Marine Corps officer, is the second FEMA head to leave or be fired since May. He departs amid criticism that he kept a low profile during deadly Texas floods in July that killed 130 people and baffled staff in June when he said he was unaware the country had a hurricane season. The Trump administration official familiar with Richardson’s departure, which was first reported by the Washington Post, gave no reasons for the FEMA chief stepping down. It was not immediately clear who Richardson’s successor will be. Richardson’s predecessor was fired in May, after pushing back against Trump administration efforts to dismantle the agency. President Donald Trump has said he wants to greatly reduce the size of FEMA — the federal agency responsible for preparing for and responding to natural disasters — saying state governments can handle many of its functions. Reportedly, the Trump administration was already planning to oust Richardson before his resignation.

Plans to remove him from the role were already underway at the agency, three sources told CNN. Basically, this guy was facing being fired due to incompetence. He faced a lot of controversy for being nowhere to be seen during the Texas floods this summer. Later, it turned out that he was too busy vacationing during the deadly flooding event. NBC News reported: Richardson’s short time as head of FEMA came during a turbulent chapter for the agency. President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed major cuts to its budget, and Trump has publicly called for the agency to be eliminated after this year’s hurricane season winds down at the end of the month. During Richardson’s time as FEMA chief, he was heavily criticized for his slow response to the catastrophic floods that devastated Texas’ Hill Country in July. Richardson could not be reached for 24 hours after raging floodwaters killed more than 130 people in the state on July 4, including 27 girls and counselors at Camp Mystic, a Christian youth summer camp. It was later revealed that Richardson, who did not have emergency management experience before he became acting head of FEMA, had been on vacation for the holiday weekend. Good riddance! Why did it take him this long to call it quits?

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem just issued a warning to foreigners traveling to the United States for the World Cup next summer. You’re welcome to come here and enjoy the sporting event, but don’t try to illegally overstay your visa! Noem promised that anyone coming here on a tourist visa for the World Cup will be thoroughly vetted and that the DHS will ensure they go back to their countries a timely manner. Watch: Backup here if needed: BREAKING: DHS Sec. Kristi Noem just said ALL foreigners who come to the US for the World Cup will be CAUGHT if they try to stay here illegally “We’re making sure these people who come in on tourist visas…they will GO HOME, and go home in a TIMELY manner!” GREAT! pic.twitter.com/FCV2EaROol — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 17, 2025 The 2026 FIA World Cup will be hosted in sixteen cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico from June 11 to July 19, 2026. In case you’re wondering, around 6 million foreign travelers are expected to come to the U.S. for the event! It’s nice to know that the Trump administration is preparing for this huge event to ensure it goes off safely and that the people coming here won’t be allowed to abuse the system to stay here indefinitely.

Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin appears to be in some hot water. The attorney of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has accused Rep. Jamie Raskin of leaking emails of her client to the press. Maxwell’s attorney Leah Saffian rebuked the representative from Maryland for leaking the emails and called for him to be punished. The New York Post reported more details on the scandal: Workers at the Texas federal prison camp housing Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell have been fired for leaking emails in which she described the cushy conditions — and the Democratic lawmaker who purportedly made them public should be punished too, her attorney said in a fiery statement Friday. Leah Saffian rebuked House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) over the publication of messages in which Maxwell raved about her treatment at Federal Prison Camp Bryan — even praising warden Tanisha Hall for helping her send and receive documents needed for her unsuccessful appeal to the Supreme Court. “The congressman is a ranking member of the House Oversight [actually Judiciary] Committee, an attorney and law professor. He must be aware that his conduct undermines the whole legal process,” Saffian said. “His action should be a matter for professional disciplinary action.” “There have been appropriate consequences already for employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan,” Saffian went on. “They have been terminated for improper, unauthorized access to the email system used by the Federal Bureau of Prisons [BOP] to allow inmates to communicate with the outside world. “The provision of those emails to a federal official who then caused them to be shared with the media is a breach of constitutional protections including the First, Sixth and Fourteenth amendments afforded to all prisoners.” The emails from Maxwell, 63, were published by NBC News Nov. 8. The following Monday, Raskin fired off a letter to President Trump claiming that a whistleblower had told him Maxwell was “preparing a ‘Commutation Application’ for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration.” In Friday’s statement, Saffian claimed that Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence after her December 2021 conviction for federal charges of grooming and sexually abusing young women, “has not requested a commutation — or a made a pardon — application to the second Trump administration.” BREAKING – It’s been revealed Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin was involved in a plot where prison staffers stole Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney-client emails and funneled them to him, which he then leaked to the media in an attempt to smear President Trump. pic.twitter.com/g9yZuDRgfo — Right Angle News Network (@Rightanglenews) November 15, 2025 Prison staff fired for stealing Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal emails and giving them to guess who? Yep! Lil Jay Ray himself, Jamie Raskin!! Who’s ready to see this corrupt POS in prison?!? pic.twitter.com/67eGbxHmrG — SaltyGoat (@SaltyGoat17) November 15, 2025 CNN reported more on Raskin’s move: Earlier this week, Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, released what he said was information about Maxwell’s life inside the Bryan prison — including special privileges being afforded to the late-Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman — that was shared with Raskin by a whistleblower. The whistleblower also told Raskin that Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison, is in the process of preparing to file an application for commutation. According to an email that the whistleblower shared with the committee, Maxwell wrote to Saffian in early October that she planned to send materials “through the warden.” House Judiciary Committee Democrats on Friday defended how they received and released the information and disputed that the correspondence was privileged. “The House Judiciary Committee Minority’s letter was based on a range of documents and information shared with Committee staff by a whistleblower. None of the documents shared with the Committee from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) TRULINCS system was subject to the attorney client privilege,” a House Judiciary Democratic spokeswoman told CNN. The spokeswoman pointed out that individuals have to accept a disclaimer that their activity will be monitored once logging into the prison’s systems. She said the disclaimer makes clear that DOJ may monitor the system and that users must consent to such monitoring and have no expectation that communications will stay private.

In the last four days we have learned more about Trump shooter Thomas Crooks then we did in over a year. A new report by investigative journalists at the New York Post and the Daily Mail have revealed President Trump’s would be assassin Thomas Crooks reportedly used “they/them” pronouns on a website that hosts sexual “furry” material. Investigators revealed Crooks has two accounts on the website DeviantArt which hosts sexual images of “furries.” The Daily Mail reported more on Crook’s sick fantasies: Donald Trump’s would-be assassin appears to have used ‘they/them’ pronouns on a website known for hosting pornographic ‘furry’ material. Thomas Crooks, who shot Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, at the height of the presidential campaign in 2024, is linked to the accounts ‘epicmicrowave’ and ‘theepicmicrowave’ on the website DeviantArt. The website hosts sexually explicit images of ‘furries’ – human-like animal characters. The accounts linked to Crooks used ‘they/them’ pronouns used by the transgender community and his activity suggested an interest in cartoon characters with ripped male physiques and female heads. It comes amid renewed scrutiny on Crooks after Tucker Carlson carried out a forensic examination of his online footprint, including his violent statements, as well as his political journey from Trump supporter to rabid leftist. Prior to Tucker’s reporting, very little was known about Crooks, to the extent that the FBI was accused of a cover-up, which has fueled various conspiracy theories – including that the shooter may have been backed by a foreign government. Among the most stunning aspects of the latest reporting is that the shooter was in contact with a Norwegian national who is allegedly part of a neo-Nazi terrorist organization. The FBI’s official narrative is that Crooks acted alone in the assassination attempt, with no evidence of co-conspirators or foreign direction. Thomas Crooks liked ‘FURRY’ porn on DeviantArt – NY Post Trump’s would-be assassin and Charlie Kirk’s killer – both lurked on cartoon bestiality forums What the hell is going on there? https://t.co/dL99flveAW pic.twitter.com/4BZv5KYZhQ — RT (@RT_com) November 17, 2025 WTF Thomas Matthew Crooks supposedly had a furry AND trans fetish, just like Tyler Robinson. How in the hell do all of these people have a furry and trans fetishes? Very very suspicious pic.twitter.com/B9DtU1V7Xu — Calen Archer (@CalenArcher) November 17, 2025 The New York Post broke the story: When told of Crooks’ online threats, he said there was no way the FBI would not be aware of the teenager. “No matter how ridiculous the allegation, no matter if it’s COVID or not, somebody is going to knock on somebody’s door,” Swanson said. “If they investigated that kid there’s a record of it and there’s an assessment that some leader made that this was not a threat or it rose to a level and they did something else.” He also said that “if the FBI had that information [about his name on the PayPal account], I can’t even imagine they would not have reached out to me right away.” Given Crooks’ pattern of tracking high-profile mass shootings and violent events, the source believes it is plausible that he adopted Swanson’s name as a private joke. Like alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, Crooks appears to have been interested in “furries” and exploring gender identity. He described himself with the pronouns “they/them” on the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for “furry” art and the “furry” community. (A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often as a sexual fetish.) Two accounts linked to Crooks’ primary email were found on DeviantArt, under usernames “epicmicrowave” and “theepicmicrowave.” The account suggests he had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads. One of the people Crooks interacted with online was “Willy Tepes,” a member of Norwegian neo-Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has since been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department. Tepes encouraged violence and Crooks’ extremism, using a Maoist phrase, “Political power comes from the barrel of a gun,” which Crooks repeated several times. In one comment on Oct. 5, 2025, more than a year after Butler, Tepes commented to another user that he had been contacted by both Russian and American intelligence.

We finally have our answer. During the inauguration, first son Barron Trump went viral after a video showed him whispering words to Joe Biden. Remember this: Barron whispered something to Joe Biden, and his face instantly changed pic.twitter.com/FPhwsMXBys — Charlie (@MAGACharlie2024) January 21, 2025 As the internet usually does, major speculation and rumors arose claiming to have know what Barron said. Well now Eric Trump has silenced those rumors and has revealed what Barron said to Biden. The New York Post reported more on Barron Trump’s comments to Biden: First son Barron Trump was “very respectable” when he crossed paths with former President Joe Biden at the Capitol Rotunda for his father’s inauguration in January, according to his older brother Eric. During the inauguration, the hulking Trump scion had approached Biden, 82, and shook hands with him before leaning in and muttering something mysterious to the outgoing leader — sending the internet aflutter with speculation. TV cameras captured the viral moment, but it had long been unknown what Barron, 19, actually said to Biden. Eric, 41, finally shed light on his brother’s viral interaction with the 46th president, while speaking to podcast host Megyn Kelly during an interview in Miami last week. “One night I call Barron and I go ‘Buddy, what did you actually say?’ And it was something so polite I almost wouldn’t even get it right,” Eric recounted to Kelly. “But like, ‘Congratulations, and best of luck to you,’ or something like that. Something very respectable,” Eric revealed. Theories had swirled on social media that Barron had snapped at his father’s predecessor, with a clip showing Biden’s smile suddenly dropping after the interaction.

Hopefully this doesn’t escalate any further. A U.S. Marine spokesperson has revealed Marines protecting the U.S. embassy in Haiti exchanged gun fire with suspected gang members last week. A spokesperson for the U.S. Marines revealed embassy security officers were fired upon by suspected gang members resulting in Marines stationed at the embassy to fire back. Fox News provided further details on the gunfire exchange: U.S. Marines protecting the American embassy in Haiti exchanged gunfire with suspected gang members last week, a Marine spokesman said. Capt. Steven J. Keenan told Fox News Digital in an emailed statement Sunday that Marines supporting embassy security operations were fired upon by suspected gang members in the capital of Port-au-Prince and returned fire on the evening of Nov. 13. “U.S. Marines are committed to the safety and security of U.S. embassies worldwide and respond to all threats with professionalism and swift, disciplined action,” Keenan said. No service members were injured in the incident, which was first reported over the weekend by The Washington Post. Neither the State Department nor the U.S. Embassy in Haiti immediately responded to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. The Caribbean nation has been plagued by gang violence, with armed groups reportedly controlling up to 90% of Port-au-Prince, according to the United Nations. The groups block access roads, attack infrastructure, and terrorize civilians through kidnappings, rapes and killings. There has been no elected government in Haiti since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in 2021. The U.N. said a gang suppression force of 5,550 was set to begin operations in Haiti on Oct. 2, working alongside Haitian authorities to neutralize gangs, secure infrastructure and support humanitarian access. Watch here: Original post: WARNING: This post describes a violent armed conflict. Gunfire erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Haiti on Thursday after U.S. Marines exchanged fire with gang members.

Marines at the embassy have been shot at on other occasions this year, but the Corps said this was the fiercest exchange of fire. Gangs control 90 percent of Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince, where they extort businesses and fight for territory, using heavy weaponry. The US continues to operate an embassy in Haiti, but in recent years the State Department issued numerous warnings telling Americans not to travel there, ‘Crimes involving firearms are common in Haiti. They include robbery, carjackings, sexual assault, and kidnappings for ransom,’ the do not travel warning reads. The United Nations estimates gang violence displaced more than 1.3 million Haitians from their homes in recent years. Security in the nation of nearly 12 million people deteriorated rapidly since 2021, when President Jovenel Moise was assassinated in his home by mercenaries. Your thought?
