President Trump participates in a cybercrime roundtable with FBI Director Kash Patel, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin
President Trump will participate in a roundtable at the White House today focused on the Trump administration’s efforts to combat cybercrime.
Seniors, children, and low-income families are disproportionately targeted by online cybercrime, losing their benefits and savings, the White House official told NewsNation.
These crimes are often perpetuated by Transnational Crime Organizations (TCOs) based outside the United States. The administration said it will focus on addressing ransomware attacks, phishing campaigns, sextortion schemes, impersonation scams and financial frauds.
The Homeland Security Task Force has restrained approximately $833 million in cryptocurrency tied to overseas scam centers and cryptocurrency investment fraud schemes. Authorities have seized 503 fraudulent cryptocurrency investment websites; these websites display fake gains to lure Americans into transferring money into criminally controlled accounts.
Investigators said they have identified and warned nearly 9,000 Americans who were actively being victimized, preventing an estimated $562 million in losses.
“President Trump is unleashing every available tool to stop foreign-based, organized criminal organizations that exploit Americans in cyberspace,” a White House official said in a statement.
“The Trump administration is taking on a $50 billion threat to American families and businesses … and disrupting the networks by targeting the transnational groups behind scam centers and fraud schemes, stopping the money fast by freezing stolen funds before they leave the system, then sizing them for victims and returning it to the victims by putting recovered funds back in the hands of the people who lost them.”
This comes after Trump, on Tuesday, announced the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud’s new Fraud Whistleblower Incentive Program, which rewards tipsters who help the government catch fraudsters stealing from government programs.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump announced the new program, promising a 1% “commission” to Americans, including journalists, who report the theft of taxpayer dollars to the new tip line.
“It’s a lot of money, and if it’s 10 billion, 200 billion, 400 billion, we’re giving a 1% commission to that person,” Trump told reporters, suggesting that it could be the “largest commission ever paid” given the trillions of dollars in fraud to be uncovered.
ESPN juggernaut and independent political commentator Stephen A. Smith went on The View Wednesday and delivered a series of basic lessons in politics that the panel did not want to hear.
Smith was booked after news broke that he’d spent more than four hours at a White House dinner with President Trump, Bill Maher, and Kid Rock last Thursday.
But the headline wasn’t what Smith revealed about the dinner. It was how he pushed back against The View’s obsessive hatred of Trump.
The first instance came when Smith told the ladies they’re going to have to deal with Trump until 2028. “He’s not going away.” View co-host Sunny Hostin shot back, “Well, he may get impeached and convicted.” Smith went off.
He told her to her face: That AIN’T GONNA WORK! Stop dreaming.
SMITH: “Hold on a minute… He’s been impeached TWICE.”
“I’m so SICK and tired of us acting like that’s going to do something.”
“Whether you like him or not, he’s the president of the United States of America. He’s not going away until 2028.”
Hostin had no comeback. She knew he was right. And so did the audience.
Stephen A. Smith SWATS DOWN Sunny Hostin’s relentless hopes to impeach Donald Trump.
He told her to her face: That AIN’T GONNA WORK! Stop dreaming.

“Whether you like him or not, he’s the president of the United States of America. He’s not going away until 2028.”
Hostin had no comeback. She knew he was right. And so did the audience.
Whoopi vented to Smith that Trump can’t explain how he treats minorities and women, or the war.
Smith offered a fix she couldn’t stomach: “INVITE HIM and see if he comes.”
The panel erupted, and Whoopi looked like she wanted to throw up.
It got so hostile that Smith backpedaled just to bring down the temperature.
Whoopi nearly throws up after Stephen A. Smith gives her the simplest solution to settle all her complaints about Trump.
She said Trump can’t explain how he treats minorities, women, or the war.
Smith suggested something she couldn’t stomach: “INVITE HIM and see if he comes.”
The panel erupted. The hostility was so fierce that Smith backpedaled just to bring down the temperature.
FACT CHECK: The View claims they’ve already invited Trump, but the only “invitations” on record are Joy Behar’s on-air dares.
In October 2024, when Hasan Minhaj asked whether they’d actually have Trump on, they answered NO! Sunny Hostin said, “I don’t think you normalize him,” and Whoopi said it would be “not advantageous for our audience.”
Smith closed his appearance with a lesson for the ladies to chew on before they spend another show complaining endlessly about Trump.
He reminded them that 77 MILLION people voted for Trump, and you can’t just wave that away.
He told them you’re so busy being disgusted by him that you IGNORE why people voted for him in the first place: they’re sick and tired of a system that robs them of their tax dollars and never gets “something done for themselves.”
Whoopi clearly wasn’t a fan of that statement.

Shani Louk was killed by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7. (@HenMazzig / X)
One of the most disturbing stories to come out of the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack on civilians was what the Hamas monsters did to Shani Louk.
Louk, a 22-year-old German-Israeli tattoo artist, was last seen at a rave party in the northern Negev, where Hamas militants stormed in and killed at least 260 attendees.
Here is a video of Shani Louk before the brutal attack.
Shortly before the attack on the camp Shani Louk was dancing with her friends. #Israel_under_attack https://t.co/KWcuuOrxrO
According to Israeli forensic evidence, eyewitness accounts, and reports on Nova festival massacre, Louk was likely subjected to sexual violence and extreme mutilation before her murder.
After her murder, her lifeless body was flaunted around Gaza as an appalling trophy of terrorism.
Disturbing images and videos showed the militants spitting on her body, chanting, “Allahu Akbar!” meaning, God is good, as they paraded through the Gaza, bearing Louk’s corpse while crowds cheered.
Now, the IDF has announced they have one of the monsters involved.
“ELIMINATED: Tamer Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Zabaq, a Hamas military wing terrorist who infiltrated Israel & took part in the abduction of Shani Louk during the October 7 Massacre.”
“Recently, the terrorist advanced attacks against Israeli civilians & IDF troops and operated to restore Hamas’ military capabilities, in systematic violation of the ceasefire.”
“The terrorist was eliminated in order to remove the threat he posed.”

Defendant Tavares entering into sham marriage with illegal alien from Brazil as part of massive fraud ring in Massachusetts / DOJ
The Justice Department on Wednesday announced six people were charged in a massive marriage fraud ring between illegal aliens and US citizens in Massachusetts.
“Six individuals in Massachusetts have been charged with allegedly arranging sham marriages to fraudulently obtain immigration status for illegal aliens,” the DOJ said.
“The organization’s leader has allegedly been orchestrating sham marriages for illegal aliens to enable them to fraudulently obtain immigration status for over 10 years and has made millions of dollars doing so,” the DOJ said in a press release.
The following individuals have been chargedwith conspiracy to harbor illegal aliens; harboring illegal aliens; conspiracy to commit marriage fraud; and marriage fraud:
Jennifer Gonzalez, 43, of Fall River, Mass.;
Erica Daniels, 29, of Fall River, Mass.;
Chreise Alejandro, 39), of Fall River, Mass.;
Amara Pugh, 31, of Fall River, Mass.;
Jessica Tavares, 31, of Attleboro, Mass.; and
Jaylin Hill, 26, of Fall River, Mass.
Leah Foley, US Attorney for Massachusetts, announced the charges during a press conference on Wednesday.
“The alleged mastermind behind this marriage fraud scheme is Jennifer Gonzales, a United States citizen who was allegedly responsible for fraudulently arranging sham marriages in Massachusetts for over a decade. Gonzales allegedly charged between $38,000 and $40,000 per marriage and arranged 18 to 20 sham marriages per year for over 10 years. On the low end, this conspiracy netted her $6 MILLION during the course of the alleged scam,” Leah Foley said.
“According to court documents, Gonzalez ran a business in which illegal aliens paid her to arrange sham marriages for them so that they could fraudulently obtain immigration status. Gonzalez in turn paid Daniels, Alejandro, Tavares and Hill (all U.S. citizens), to engage in one or more marriages to illegal aliens so that those “customers” could submit fraudulent documents to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to obtain legal immigration status. Pugh, also a U.S. citizen, worked as the business’s “secretary.”” the DOJ said.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni/ Image: Video screenshot
While French President Emmanuel Macron, unsurprisingly, chose to blame his fellow French citizens for the violent Islamo-Marxist riots tearing through his country and spreading across Europe.
Originally framed as ‘student’ protests that ignited over so-called crowded classrooms and teacher shortages, the protests expanded to other cities and countries and became violent as Muslim migrants used them as an excuse to take over the streets.
Now, Meloni has announced a new decree and four new measures to combat violent riots and looting, noting that people of foreign background constitute half of the 330 people arrested and detained so far.
The new measures include prison sentences of up to 5 years and fines of €20,000 for participating in violent protests.
Under the new decree:
Rioters acting in groups of 5 or more face tougher penalties, particularly if they conceal their faces or injure someone
Parents will be held financially responsible for damage caused by their underage children.
Preventive detention powers will be extended to minors.
An additional 500 soldiers will be deployed to Milan until the end of the year.
Juvenile courts and detention facilities will receive additional resources.
“We have all seen the footage of the violence that swept through Milan and other Italian cities over the weekend, with shops being ransacked, shop windows smashed and police officers attacked. No one can possibly downplay or justify such unacceptable scenes. This is why the Council of Ministers has today approved a decree introducing new measures to prevent and combat this violence. These are in addition to the other measures that have been approved over the last months, starting with biometric recognition – also using artificial intelligence – in order to put a name to those hiding behind a hoodie. I’ll explain the new provisions introduced by today’s measures in the simplest possible terms.”
“First, we have established a new crime: violent participation in a protest. In other words, if you join a group of five or more people during a march or a protest and you start throwing stones, firecrackers, sticks – jeopardising everyone’s safety – then you risk up to five years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to EUR 20,000. If your face was covered or you injured someone, then those sentences are increased, and there are also harsher penalties for those who commit acts of destruction as part of a group.”
“Second, we are applying a simple principle: if you break something, you pay, and if you break something and you’re under 18, then your parents pay. How does this work? If the damage has been caused to public property, such as a bus shelter, a traffic light or a police or army vehicle, then the Prefecture will send a payment order to your house. If the damage has been caused to private property, such as a shop window, a store or someone’s car, then the owner can go to court and obtain an immediately enforceable payment order.”
“It will of course be possible to appeal but, in the meantime, the parents of that young person who had fun smashing everything will have to pay. Those who have suffered the damage may seek compensation from everything – from that family’s assets and even any money the State may owe them. ”
“Third: juveniles. At the moment, in the case of a young person aged between 14 and 18, the State has to prove each time that they were capable of understanding what they were doing. We have already approved legislation to overturn this principle, namely with the presumption that they were capable of understanding what they were doing, unless proven otherwise. That piece of legislation is currently before Parliament, but today’s decree makes it immediately effective. Moreover, the preventive detention measure, which until now was only applicable to adults, can now be applied to minors too.”
“Fourth: 500 additional soldiers will be arriving in Milan, who will work alongside the police and Carabinieri officers until the end of the year. We are also providing the youth justice system with more judges and prosecutors as well as more places in detention centres, so that the certainty of punishment also applies to 16-year-olds.”
“These are the main measures, because we will do everything we can to prevent what we have seen over the last few days from becoming the norm. Almost 200 officers have been injured and, according to Confcommercio, the damage in Milan alone amounts to approximately EUR 1 million. Who was out on those streets and squares? There were the usual fringe agitators – the ones who look for clashes at every protest march – but, alongside them, there was something new this time. Hundreds of very young people, very many of them under the age of 18, arrived in small groups after being called together by a video on social media; kids came out onto the streets to smash things and steal while filming themselves doing it. We must seriously address this phenomenon, also in order to prevent those images from becoming an example to be copied.”
“However, I also want to be clear: there is no political idea, social hardship or opposition to the Government that can justify a shop being destroyed to take its merchandise. Behind that shop window is a family who has invested a lifetime’s worth of sacrifices, there are workers who risk losing their jobs and there are citizens who have the right to enjoy their city without fear. There is nothing revolutionary about vandalism and theft.”
“Vandalism and theft are not a protest; they are a crime. And the State must respond firmly. Public security forces have detained and arrested 330 people, half of whom are of foreign origin – either born abroad or born in Italy to foreign families. I expect the crimes that have been committed to be swiftly prosecuted and all available regulations to be strictly enforced, including those in the recent ‘security decrees’. ”
“There is one fact in particular which, in my view, should make everyone stop and think: the youngest of the minors identified in Milan is reportedly just 11 years old. This is painful and frightening, and it concerns us all. We cannot allow some youngsters to grow up thinking that smashing a window is a way of getting respect, or that some views on social media are worth more than their future. We cannot accept anyone ending up justifying them for political convenience or perhaps for self-promotion. We understand the difficulties that many young people face, and we know what it means to be looking for a job, to have inadequate pay and to see no prospects for the future. We have been working on these problems since the very start of our term and will continue to do so; we work on them every day. ”
“However, hardship cannot become an excuse for violence, first and foremost because violence only exacerbates hardship; it cannot cure it. Secondly, because when a shop window is shattered, it is not those in power who pay the price; it is the shopkeepers, the workers and the local area – precisely the ordinary people who some claim they want to defend.”
“I want to be equally clear in distinguishing between those who commit acts of violence and those who protest peacefully to ask for answers. I am thinking of the farmers, the truck drivers, the workers at the former Ilva steel plant and the many communities going through difficult times – the Government engages in dialogue with them and is working to find solutions. Just today, Minister Salvini met with representatives from the road haulage industry to address the sector’s difficulties and identify additional responses. The State that is saying no to violence is the same State that is listening to those who protest while respecting others. It is precisely on this distinction that I am also asking for clarity from all the political forces. Acts of violence must be condemned without ambiguity, without justifications and without distinctions based on who commits them.”
“I think it is extremely serious that institutional representatives have gone so far as to publicise information on getting free legal assistance following the devastation in Milan. I consider any attempt at presenting looting and destruction as a legitimate way of raising social grievances to be unacceptable. Those with political responsibility should be the first to point out that no cause can authorise workers being targeted, public security officers being attacked or our cities being destroyed.”
“This is why I am calling for everyone, regardless of their political views, to stand on the side of lawfulness, freedom and respect for the rules. We will continue to do our part to protect those who protest peacefully, those who work and those who simply want to live in safety.”
“Protesting is a right, tearing our cities apart is not. We have said so, and we will prove it through our actions.”

A football fan apparently took his devotion to an extremely disturbing level earlier this month and is now facing criminal charges.
Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC revealed earlier this week that a 64-year-old Richmond, Virginia man named Terry Ward stands accused of tying his wife to a chair and leaving her restrained in the basement of their home while he watched football upstairs.
The incident occurred on October 11. The two teams playing that night were the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcon, a game the Ravens won 30-23 in overtime.
Richmond Police say they received a call around 11:30 p.m. for a reported domestic disturbance.
Upon arrival, they spoke with an adult woman, who identified herself as Ward’s wife.
Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC notes that the responding officer revealed that the woman stated Ward had previously tied her up to a chair using tape in their home’s basement.
Police also say that the woman had marks and sticky tape residue around both of her arms.
She added that she had been tied up for between 30 and 45 minutes while he watched the Ravens and Falcons upstairs alone.
Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC adds that an officer documented Ward admitting to tying his wife up.
“When I arrived on scene, [name redacted] stated that her husband had tied her to a chair with tape in the basement,” a police officer said in a criminal complaint filed in Richmond court that Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC viewed.
“Ward Terry stated that he did indeed tied his wife [name redacted] to a chair and place[d] her down in the basement.”
Court documents obtained by Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC show that Ward was charged with felony abduction and misdemeanor assault on a family member.
Court records viewed by Virginia Statewide Incidents LLC show that oth Ward’s arraignment and bond hearing were continued earlier this week.
Ward’s next court appearance is scheduled for November 10 in Richmond Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
The US Supreme Court on Wednesday, in an unsigned order, denied the Trump Administration’s emergency appeal to restrict transgender surgeries for prison inmates.
Conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the Trump administration cannot enforce a new policy that restricts treatment for transgender inmates in federal prison.
The justices in a brief order rejected an emergency application filed by the administration that sought to block a lower court injunction against the proposal. There are about 1,000 transgender inmates in federal custody.
The policy is part of President Donald Trump’s broader effort to roll back moves to expand transgender rights. It was announced in line with his January 2025 executive order telling federal agencies not to acknowledge the concept of gender identity outside of the “immutable biological classification” of male or female.
The court order included no explanation, saying only that two conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, would have granted it.
In several different announcements, the Bureau of Prisons over the last 18 months has said it will not provide gender transition surgery, hormone treatments or “social accommodations” such as wigs, padding or makeup.
In January 2025, President Trump signed an Executive Order aimed at protecting women and banning taxpayer money from funding transgender surgeries.
“Federal funds shall not be used to promote gender ideology. Each agency shall assess grant conditions and grantee preferences and ensure grant funds do not promote gender ideology,” the executive order said.
“The Attorney General shall ensure that the Bureau of Prisons revises its policies concerning medical care to be consistent with this order, and shall ensure that no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex,” the order said.
Fairfield Township, New Jersey, is a perfect object lesson in what happens when entitled minority populations decide that they can play by their own rules.
Al-Ghazaly High School is an Islamic private institution in the New York City suburbs. Local officials approved the school, run by the Islamic Education Foundation, based on the understanding that it would school 90 students in its current property, according to a report from The New Jersey Progress.
Instead, the school has enrolled around 313 students since it was given a Certificate of Re-Occupancy earlier this year, and practically demanded that local authorities increase its authorized student number to 400.
During a planning board meeting last Tuesday, IEF Schools executive director Hayat Jaludi defended her decision to blatantly disregard the student limit based on the fact that, well, kids wanted to be educated.
Sure, she didn’t have permission, but she apparently didn’t think she needed it to flood the school and break the regulations.
“Hold on, hold on — how can you have 314 students in a building when you’re only allowed to have 90?” one of the board members asked.
Jaludi said that “we came into this building assuming that we have the occupancy of whatever enrolled students we have.”
“Unfortunately, um, we attempted to have the 90 student capacity — if there are any educators in this room, you’ll understand and appreciate the importance of not disrupting or interrupting students’ right to be educated.”
Not that they couldn’t be educated elsewhere, mind you. It’s not as if Fairfield is a public school desert, where there’s no education available unless they go to Al-Ghazaly High School.
“We made the decision to try to run the school with that capacity of students and we’ve been successful so far,” she told the board.
“I wouldn’t say we blatantly decided that it doesn’t matter,” she added.
“We are law-abiding citizens. We understand. However, I do have a community of 313 students with an interruption to their education.”
Translation: We’re law-abiding, unless we decide the law is problematic.
This pretty much describes every criminal, who abides by most laws except for the ones they break. Courts and jails are filled with defendants and criminals who didn’t break most rules and laws, but have infringed upon some that they found onerous.
The town of Fairfield, NJ gave approval for a Muslim school, with a cap of 90 students.
5 weeks in and they already got busted for flooding the town with HUNDREDS more.
Here’s the infuriating exchange: https://t.co/0GnBAx2kAX
At least the school’s lawyer had the common sense to say that the occupancy problem was “news to me.” Jaludi, on the other hand, seemed thoroughly unfazed.
This school had 247 percent more students than it was legally allowed to have, as the U.K. Daily Mail pointed out.
If this were a public school, the superintendent would likely be trying to vigorously cover this fact up. Instead, we have a woman loudly and proudly declaiming that she has every right to go back on her word because “I have to answer to 150 families.”
And what sets this school apart? The fact that it’s Islamic, of course. Thus, answering to 150 Muslim families is more important than answering to the law, or even reporting the variance before she went in front of the planning board.
This isn’t just about limiting the number of students that can safely be in a building, although it’s certainly about that. This creates a traffic and parking nightmare for other residents of Fairfield, as well as other logistical and safety issues.
Can you imagine what the government would do to a Christian school that just unilaterally decided it needed hundreds and hundreds more seats than a town had given it permission to have? If the planning board didn’t raise an objection, the establishment media certainly would do the work for them.
Thankfully, Fairfield Mayor William Galese seemed unintimidated by the school’s demands.
“We have a community of 8,000 people who need to be answered for, and this is exactly one of the things they put us here to do,” he said during the meeting, and other board members were similarly unmoved.
“When I drive down the Garden State Parkway and there are no cars on the road, I know my car can do 120 miles an hour,” a board member said during the showdown. “It doesn’t mean I can do it. You don’t have the jurisdiction to make that decision unilaterally.”
When Jaludi said this wasn’t “a haphazard decision,” Galese said that “it wasn’t your decision to make.”
And therein lies the whole conflict here: America has rules, and what we’ll charitably call diverse communities do not think that those rules apply if they’re not aligned with what they want to do.
Not that there aren’t other people who have contempt for local, state, and federal regulations, mind you — but when there’s a consistent pattern among entitled minority populations who want to be judged by their own standards, we have an issue.
The school now faces summonses for its violations and will have another hearing on Nov. 10. One hopes that the Fairfield Township planning board stands firm and doesn’t reward cavalier disregard for local rules and regulations.

American service members and their families who were stationed at Marine Corps Camp Lejeune in North Carolina between 1953 and 1987 were potentially exposed to toxic drinking water.
During the period in question, people living or working at the base were potentially exposed to contaminated drinking water containing industrial solvents.
Some of the chemicals included trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) from dry-cleaning waste, and benzene from leaking underground fuel storage tanks, which were detected in the water on the base.
Some of the associated diseases include:
Adult leukemia
Aplastic anemia and other myelodysplastic syndromes
Bladder cancer
Kidney cancer
Liver cancer
Multiple myeloma
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Parkinson’s disease
According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), since President Trump returned in January 2025, about 3,300 claimants have received more than $919.7 million. Prior to his return, only 459 settlements had been paid.
The administration has paid out about 3,300 people who made claims under the 2022 law. From that year to the beginning of 2025, before Trump retook office, only 459 settlements had been paid, totaling $59.6 million.
Payments under the program range from $100,000 to $550,000, depending on the illness.
During a rally in North Carolina on Tuesday night, the President shared, “Tonight I’m pleased to announce my administration has delivered $1 billion in cash settlements to these veterans and their families, in addition to 3.1 billion for the VA and ordering the DOJ to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible.”
“We don’t want to give any to the trial lawyers; we want it all to go to the families.”
