The man arrested for allegedly planting pipe bombs at the Republican and Democratic Party headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the hours before the January 6 Capitol riot confessed to the act on Thursday, according to multiple reports. Brian Cole Jr., who the FBI arrested on Thursday morning, told investigators during interviews on Thursday afternoon that he planted the bombs, according to the Associated Press and The New York Post, which cited sources familiar with the matter. Cole, a 30-year-old living in Woodbridge, Virginia, has been charged with transporting explosives across state lines with intent to kill, injure, and cause damage, and attempted malicious destruction by means of explosive materials. He is set to be arraigned in a D.C. federal court on Friday afternoon. During his interviews with investigators, Cole also expressed support for President Donald Trump and indicated that he believed the 2020 election was stolen from Trump, the Associated Press reported. Whether Cole allegedly planted pipe bombs in response to Trump losing the 2020 election to former President Joe Biden, however, remains in question. According to charging documents, Cole began purchasing supplies for the pipe bombs in May 2019, long before the controversy surrounding the 2020 election erupted. The Daily Wire reported on Thursday that Cole worked for a bail bonds company run by his father that worked to free illegal immigrants from ICE facilities and sued the Trump administration’s Department of Homeland Security. Cole’s exact political leanings or potential motivations remain cloudy, as some reports have also stated that the suspect holds anarchist views. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

The FBI zeroed in on Cole after nearly five years of investigation into the case by analyzing thousands of purchases, cell phone data, and license plates. Data from Cole’s cell phone provider showed that he was near the RNC and DNC on January 5, 2021, between 7:39 p.m. and 8:24 p.m., according to the charging documents. Cole’s 2017 Nissan Sentra with Virginia plates was also allegedly captured by a license plate reader on I-395 South near the Capitol at 7:34 p.m. on that same night.

This holiday season, there’s a little extra cheer at the gas pump. For the first time in four years, the average price of gas has dipped below $3 a gallon. “As you go into the holiday season, there is nothing better than saving money,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox Business. According to AAA, the last time gas averaged $3 or below was May 2021. It was a different world: Joe Biden was president, California was still in COVID hibernation, and every junk drawer in America was 80% face masks. Today, the average gas price per gallon is $2.978. “This is what happens when the American public elects a president who cares about their pocketbook, cares about American people and not special interests or the climate crazies or whatever interest the Democrats are trying to appease,” Secretary Wright said. “President Trump’s just focused on the American consumer.” California ($4.51) and Hawaii have the highest gas prices in the country. The states with the lowest gas prices are Oklahoma ($2.40), Texas ($2.53), Arkansas ($2.55), Colorado ($2.56), Mississippi ($2.57), Tennessee ($2.58), Louisiana ($2.60), Iowa ($2.63), Wisconsin ($2.63), and Missouri ($2.64), per AAA. 50% off DailyWire+ annual memberships will not return for another year, so don’t miss this deal!

Trump said he thinks the national average can go way lower. “We’re gonna be, I think, at $2 a gallon,” Trump said during a press conference earlier this week. “We could even crack that at some point, I’d love to do it. We could do it more easily if we weren’t building up the Strategic National Reserves, which Biden emptied out before the election.” The reserves Trump is referring to are the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the government’s emergency supply of crude oil stored along the Gulf of America. Crude oil prices are hovering around $60 a barrel, which is driving down gasoline prices at the pump. Secretary Wright said another boost to Americans’ wallets would be to continue building the domestic oil and gas supply. “We will see increasing production in the next six to 12 months out of the Gulf of America. If you look carefully at the oil production data in the U.S., as a whole right now, it’s almost a million barrels a day higher than it was 12 months ago. So even with low oil prices, we’re seeing more development. Just common sense is back in town.” The U.S. Energy Information Administration predicts gas prices will remain below the $3/gallon average in 2026.

When America developed the atomic bomb that would eventually bring an end to World War II, a secret city in Tennessee was vital for the uranium enrichment that powered the Manhattan Project. Now, that once-secret city is the hub of a new arms race, and The Daily Wire got an exclusive, inside look. The Manhattan Project 2.0 follows Daily Wire senior reporter Cabot Phillips as he heads to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, which has been reborn as the front line of a global competition against China that the United States cannot afford to lose. Inside the halls of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, President Trump’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright delivers an unmistakable warning: If America throttles its own energy supply and innovation, China will seize the lead in artificial intelligence. “AI has been around for a long time, but it’s hitting critical mass now. In the next few years, AI is going to change our world, not just economically, but in science and also in national defense,” Wright says. “China is working aggressively in AI. If they get a meaningful lead on us on AI, it will be a different world in the future.” WATCH: Manhattan Project 2.0 On DailyWire+ To understand what’s at stake, Phillips was given rare access to Frontier, the world’s leading supercomputer driving a modern scientific sprint toward the future. Here, America’s top researchers, led by OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, use AI to accelerate nuclear fusion breakthroughs, model entire reactor cores before they’re built, design next-generation aircraft engines, and rebuild America’s manufacturing edge atom by atom. Frontier isn’t just running calculations, it is collapsing years of research into days, giving the United States a chance to outpace China’s rapidly expanding digital warfare capabilities. But the story doesn’t end with the future. Phillips was escorted into the X-10 Graphite Reactor, a sealed historic site where workers once loaded uranium into a massive graphite cube without knowing they were launching the nuclear age. Standing before the original channels and concrete shielding, he learns how that dangerous experiment birthed nuclear engineering itself and paved the way for the Navy’s first nuclear submarines — proof that breakthroughs at Oak Ridge have shifted global power before. The Manhattan Project 2.0 reveals a nation at another historic crossroads, where nuclear energy, supercomputing, and artificial intelligence converge into a single generational test. It asks whether America will once again accept the risk and responsibility of leading the world into a new age of power, or watch China define that future instead.

An Illinois church’s provocative Nativity scene depicting baby Jesus zip-tied in a manger by ICE agents exposes the absurdity of open-border policies that prioritize illegal immigration over American sovereignty and Christian values. RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM WEAPONIZED AGAINST AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY Lake Street Church of Evanston has not engaged in an act of faith, but in a cynical act of institutional subversion, weaponizing the sacred image of the Nativity to attack the foundational principle of American sovereignty. Depicting the infant Jesus zip-tied by ICE agents is a calculated maneuver designed to confuse Christian compassion with criminal negligence, equating the enforcement of law with religious persecution. This provocative display is irrefutable proof that this church prioritizes sympathy for those who violate American law over respect for the constitutional duty to secure the nation. The message is clear: the leftist church embraces the ultimate betrayal of public trust, deliberately distorting Scripture to undermine the rule of law. This is the new, dangerous face of the Deep State agenda, using moral authority to dismantle national borders and facilitate the foreseeable catastrophe of open-border chaos. Nativity Display at Left-Wing Church Includes Zip-Tied Baby Jesus, Roman Soldiers as ICE Agents Disgusting! What kind of church would do this? Do not use Christ for propaganda! From the article: A left-wing church in Illinois put out a Nativity scene with a zip-tied baby… pic.twitter.com/3Uz56sZEej — NWRain-Judi (@RYboating) December 2, 2025 ELITE ARROGANCE AND THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF MISPLACED COMPASSION The church’s display is an expression of profound elite arrogance, reflecting a broader leftist inversion of values that elevates illegal immigrants above American citizens and the constitutional protections owed to them. While this institution manufactures sympathy for border violators, American families suffer the disastrous cost of inflation, lost jobs, and competition from unvetted workers. President Trump’s administration, recognizing that border security is a constitutional obligation, has acted decisively to protect American taxpayers and resources, closing the border and ensuring benefit programs serve citizens first. Enforcing immigration law is not “cruelty”—it is a moral imperative and a conservative principle that protects American communities from the cartels and drug trafficking networks that exploit open borders. The church’s message is therefore a calculated campaign of public cruelty against the very citizens they claim to serve. REGULATORY MALICE: UNDERCUTTING THE RULE OF LAW This shocking scene is an admission of guilt by the open-borders lobby, which seeks to paint all enforcement as “un-Christian.” True Christian charity begins at home, ensuring the welfare of American citizens and upholding the legal framework that protects everyone. The church’s actions are an act of regulatory malice, attempting to use faith to justify institutional subversion and undermine the efforts to crack down on international cartels designated as terrorist groups. Church in Massachusetts sparks controversy by displaying "ICE WAS HERE" sign in Navity scene, alluding that baby Jesus had been taken by immigration agents. https://t.co/Uzc3btGG6z #kwch12 pic.twitter.com/2hQdowKjaT — KWCH 12 News (@KWCH12) December 4, 2025 Conservatives understand that compassion and law coexist. The only path to stability is through the immediate and uncompromising protection of the border, thereby stopping the shocking plot to overwhelm the nation and guaranteeing the continued shredding of international decency in favor of chaos.

News Pluribus Pluribus Episode 6’s Surprise Cameo Star Had No Idea What Their Shocking Scene Was About Drink HDP, it’s good for you By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on December 5, 2025 Credit: Apple TV Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Apple TV Warning! This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of Pluribus, “HDP.” If you’re caught up with Apple TV’s Pluribus, you know that Carol (Rhea Seehorn) has been on a journey. That journey became literal this week when she drove to Las Vegas to talk with Diabaté (Samba Schutte) about her discovery that the hive collective have been slurrying up human body parts for nutrients. Diabaté, however, already knew this. While he found it unfortunate, he accepted it as a necessity. Carol was less convinced, which the hive anticipated, so they put together a video featuring John Cena explaining why they’ve turned to becoming cannibals. Credit: Apple TV The John Cena cameo was equal parts informative and entertaining, and Gilligan has explained how it came to be. “He’s cool,” he told Men’s Health. “And he said yes, thank goodness. We just thought, ‘Who is, simultaneously, the most random person to explain the eating of human flesh to Carol Sturka and the most interesting?’” For his part, Cena was very much on board, even though he wasn’t quite sure what he was talking about. Gilligan also recounted that when Cena left, he said, “I can’t wait to find out what the hell it was I just said.” Cena and Seehorn also never met. They shot Cena’s video in Tampa, while Seehorn’s scene of watching the tape took place in Las Vegas. “I didn’t see [Cena] until the first time I saw that videotape [when] we were filming me watching it,” Seehorn told TVLine. “That was really fun. Not that I’d be surprised, but it’s just we don’t think of him as somebody that delivers news coverage about eating people. And yet there he was doing a great job at it.” The Cena cameo was fun, and something I was waiting for on the show—the opportunity to see someone famous in our world as part of the hive. Pluribus nailed that scenario with Cena, making it one of the many, many things that make this show well worth a watch. New episodes of Pluribus premiere on Apple TV on Fridays.

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, has introduced a bill that would outlaw dual citizenship in the United States. Moreno, who was born in Colombia, legally immigrated with his family at age 5, and became a naturalized citizen at 18, recently introduced The Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, which would require those who are citizens of the United States and a foreign country to choose a single citizenship rather than remain dual citizens. The bill would make it so that “an individual may not be a citizen or national of the United States while simultaneously possessing any foreign citizenship.” Currently, Americans are permitted to hold foreign citizenship, but a press release from Moreno’s office upon the introduction of the bill claimed that dual citizenship “could create conflicts of interest.” “One of the greatest honors of my life was when I became an American citizen at 18, the first opportunity I could do so,” Moreno told Fox News Digital. “It was an honor to pledge an Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America and only to the United States of America. Being an American citizen is an honor and a privilege — and if you want to be an American — it’s all or nothing. It’s time to end dual citizenship for good.” The bill’s text claims dual citizenship could lead to “divided loyalties,” and that “it is in the national interest of the United States to ensure that United States citizenship is held exclusively.” Moreno’s Exclusive Citizenship Act also outlines the process by which Americans would renounce their dual citizenship. If the bill is signed into law, those who possess dual citizenship would have one year to submit to the Secretary of State their written renunciation of their foreign citizenship or to the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security of their United States citizenship. If a citizen of the United States voluntarily becomes a citizen of a foreign country, the bill notes such a person “shall be deemed to have relinquished United States citizenship.“ Since becoming a senator in January, Moreno has intensely focused on immigration. The Ohio senator appeared on Wednesday’s edition of “The Ingraham Angle” to discuss legal and illegal immigration. “You have to make certain that there’s some conditions to come here,” Moreno explained. This includes “learning the language,” which, the senator said, “unites us.” “You have to understand that you coming here is a privilege and it’s an honor. You don’t have a right to come to America. It’s an honor and a privilege,” Moreno emphasized. Moreno also spoke about his own family’s migration to the United States when he was a child. Moreno said his father reminded him and his siblings that America “welcomed us,” even when they were subject to intense searches upon traveling back and forth between Colombia. “The Democrats have systematically tried to destroy what it means to be an American. I find that insulting as an immigrant,” he added. As someone who came to America the right way, there must be conditions to the system. American citizenship is an honor and a privilege. Those coming here legally have to assimilate to our culture. pic.twitter.com/Kvtfz8zGPr— Bernie Moreno (@berniemoreno) December 4, 2025 During his second administration, President Donald Trump, who also endorsed Moreno in his Senate run, continues to remain focused on immigration. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced a pause on immigration from 19 countries. This decision followed the shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. The suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, is an Afghan national who entered under the Biden Administration. Afghanistan is one of the 19 countries on the Trump administrations list. The president has also made citizenship a major issue. At the start of his second term, Trump signed an executive order to end birthright citizenship, a move which Moreno supports. The order was quickly challenged, and the U.S. Supreme Court asked to get involved. While the justices recently declined to hear the case, the courts could still intervene on Trump, Moreno, and Republicans’ efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration and citizenship system.
