WATCH: Ilhan Omar Dodges and Attacks Trump When Asked by CNN About Claims the Liquid Attack Was Staged

Rep. Ilhan Omar dodged and began attacking President Donald Trump when asked by CNN about claims that Tuesday’s apple cider vinegar attack on her was staged.

Omar was spritzed with apple cider vinegar in a syringe by Anthony J. Kazmierczak, 55, during a town hall event on Tuesday.

Kazmierczak has been charged with forcibly assaulting, opposing, impeding, and intimidating an officer and employee of the United States.

After the incident, Trump floated the idea that the congresswoman may have staged the entire thing.

“No. I don’t think about her. I think she’s a fraud. I really don’t think about that. She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her,” the president told ABC News when asked if he had seen the video of the incident.

Trump continued, “I haven’t seen it. No, no. I hope I don’t have to bother.”

During an appearance on The Source with Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday night, Collins asked Omar about Trump’s response.

Collins began, “I mentioned the President’s response, where he told ABC News after, just a few hours after this happened, She probably had herself sprayed, knowing her.”

“Before you respond. I do want to remind everyone that when President Trump was nearly assassinated, you responded and said, We must condemn acts of violence and pray for the victims. May calmness and decency prevail. And you said, it was sad to hear the tragedy that had occurred,” the pundit continued. “What went through your mind when you heard the President’s response last night?”

Omar responded, “Well, the difference between the President and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion, and he lacks both of those things.”

“This is a president who presides over an administration that, when they assassinated Renee Good, told us that she was a domestic terrorist that was trying to kill the federal agents. When they assassinated Alex Pretti, they told us that he was a domestic terrorist who brandished a weapon,” Omar continued. “None of those things are true, and they are known to be liars. They have constantly told us not to believe in our eyes. Fortunately, both of those assassinations were caught on camera, and so was what happened to me last night, caught on camera.”

Collins asked Omar directly about the claim that it was staged.

Instead of responding to whether it was or wasn’t, Omar dodged and continued her attacks on Trump.

“Well, I mean, this is also somebody who was talking about me in his town hall, in Iowa, and then seems to exhibit some sort of dementia when he says he doesn’t think about me. Maybe it is time for us to — for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, because he certainly cannot remember what he has said and has done, an hour ago,” Omar said.

Then They Came for the Pig Figurines

In Europe, mass immigration means Islamification, which in turn means the suppression of the native culture. This is manifested in small steps that incrementally lead to the eradication of anything deemed non-Islamic.

Mortadella and More, a shop in Padua, Italy that specializes in paninis and cured meats, cannot feature a pig figurine without courting controversy.

Via Allah’s Willing Executioners:

What was perceived by shop owners and some customers as a mere advertising gimmick has become the subject of a public inquiry by some representatives of the local Islamic community. Salim El Mauoed, a doctor and regional vice-president of the community, demanded the removal of the figure, describing its presence as ‘tasteless’ and potentially offensive to Muslims visiting the city centre.

Offend Muslims and you have painted a target on your back. But if you move when they push you, they will keep pushing. It won’t be long before Europeans are forbidden to eat pork.

German actress Sarah Maria Sander loses leading role because of pro-Israel video

Sarah Maria Sander.Screenshot youtube

The German film scene is a state-sponsored abyss of anti-Semitism. Quite apart from the fact that it has produced nothing of value for decades, it has degenerated into an ideologically contaminated, cowardly conformist apparatus that allows itself to be enslaved by a hysterical, anti-Israeli and, in some cases, openly anti-Semitic mob. The case of actress Sarah Maria Sander is only the latest, particularly disgusting proof of this.

Actress Sarah Maria Sander, who calls out the barbaric mass murder committed by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and refuses to sugarcoat or gloss over the Islamic slaughter of Jews, posts a clear statement in support of Israel and against terror in the summer of 2025. As a result, she was immediately dismissed from a leading role in the major film production ‘Maria Ohm’s Death Wish’ by the oh-so-progressive, state-subsidised cultural officials. According to Sander, she had been contractually guaranteed a leading role. The actress, who also works as a journalist, explains in the Bild newspaper: ‘The film is largely based on my autobiographical material, I co-wrote the script and was supposed to be a central part of the project in the role of Maria Ohm. This promise was the basis of the deal.’

Reason? Officially, of course, never ‘political’, but always some flimsy artistic or interpersonal platitudes. In reality: pure ideological witch-hunting. As Sander explains, her downfall was her response in August 2025 to an open letter from 200 filmmakers to Chancellor Friedrich Merz calling for a halt to arms deliveries to Israel. In a YouTube video, Sander accused the artists of hypocrisy. Then, in early December, her director Silvana Santamaria informed her in an email: ‘Dear Sarah, (…) several actors and agencies have made it clear to us that they refuse to work with you. Among other things, this was justified by public statements that have come to their attention (…) This feedback and your limited availability in January have led to the decision that it is not possible to implement the project with you as the lead actress in the current constellation.’

This is not an exception, it is the norm. For years, a climate of fear has prevailed in German theatres, film schools, funding bodies and ensembles: woe betide you if you deviate from the anti-Zionist narrative, woe betide you if you show even the slightest solidarity with the only democratic state in the Middle East, woe betide you if you call Islamic terror by its name. Then you are ‘toxic,’ ‘problematic,’ ‘no longer acceptable.’ Millions in taxpayer subsidies continue to flow into the same institutions, the same directors, the same ‘dramaturgs’ who cover up or even actively engage in such purges.

The German cultural scene should have its funding cut off very quickly. Completely. Immediately. Until further notice. Not a single euro more in tax money for institutions and projects where ideological tests are carried out and people are sorted out because of their attitudes towards democracy and human rights.

On X, Sanders announces that she will fight back:

Watch: First Female Archbishop of Canterbury Heckled at St Paul’s Cathedral Confirmation

Screengrab youtube

The Anglican church has consecrated its first female Archbishop of Canterbury in the 1,400-year history of the role, but the ceremony was interrupted by a dissenting priest who has claimed she was complicit in alleged safeguarding failures that led to the suicide of a London priest in 2020.

The former chief nurse of England, Suffragan Bishop of Crediton, and Bishop of London Dame Sarah Mullally was confirmed as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday. The “theological liberal” is now the senior bishop and “spiritual leader” of the worldwide Anglican Communion, one of the world’s largest, including the Church of England, the Episcopal Church in the United States, and many others in 165 nations.

Yet the size of that global communion is unclear as her appointment last year, confirmed this week and to be installed in Canterbury in March, heralded a split in the already long-shaky alliance between English liberal theologians and scripture traditionalists in Africa and Asia. As reported in October, GAFCON, the Africa-focussed Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, said in a statement that the appointment “abandons Anglicans”.

The Anglican Church in Nigeria called the decision “devastating” and “insensitive to the conviction of the majority of Anglicans who are unable to embrace female headship in the episcopate.”

Some criticisms of Mullally were not merely about gender but instead focussed on the quality of her leadership during her time as Bishop of London, and her closeness to the sex abuse and safeguarding scandals that forced the previous Archbishop to resign in 2024. These criticisms manifested themselves in the confirmation service at St Paul’s Cathedral on Wednesday.

In a dramatic moment akin to a wedding ceremony where the assembled are invited to object to the union, a priest presiding stated the pro-forma words of the ceremony, saying: “…this mandate is a certificate which verifies that public notice was duly given as required and no person has appeared in opposition to the confirmation”.

n response to this, a priest in the cathedral shouted out “I did”, and was quickly bundled out of the building by vergers. Ignoring the commotion, the ceremony continued, with a member of the official party reciting: “…full opportunity having been given for opposers to appear, whose objections could be lawfully received, and not having appeared as ordered, we now proceed with the process of confirmation”.

The Church Times states the dissenting priest is Father Paul Williamson, a London vicar who was forcibly retired by the Church of England against his will. The Times states his heckling was over the now-Archbishop’s handling of safeguarding while Bishop of London.

Evidently conscious of the allegations by Williamson and others against Mullally, the Church of England put out a statement before the service to get ahead of criticism and assert she’d addressed safeguarding issued with “care and rigour”, reports The Daily Telegraph.

Documents show Williamson submitted a complaint to the Church of England’s safeguarding authority to complain about Bishop Sarah in 2024 over the death by suicide of London priest Father Allan Griffin in 2020 who was falsely subjected to “unsubstantiated allegations of child abuse”. Williamson accused Mullally of incompetence and malfeasance, but the Church of England dismissed the complaints against the Archbishop-elect earlier this month.

Wednesday is not the firs time Williamson has objected to the enthronement of a bishop. He spoke out at the ceremony to make John Sentamu as Archbishop of York in 2005, stating then that Sentamu had spoken out in favour of women priests. He then objected again at the consecration of Bishop Libby Lane, the first ever woman bishop in the Church of England in 2015.

In scenes comparable to those this week, the bishop presiding over the consecration of Bishop Libby asked the congregation whether anyone present objected to the proceedings and Williamson stepped forward, and said: “No, not in the Bible. With respect, Your Grace, I ask to speak on this absolute impediment, please.”

The presiding bishop — who coincidentally was Archbishop Sentamu, to whom Williamson had objected ten years ago — paused for a moment but carried on with the service regardless as if nothing had happened. The Church of England shrugged off the protest at the time, calling Williamson a “serial protester”.

Speaking to Sky News after the event 2015, Father Williamson said of his objecting to the first ever female bishop: “Lord Jesus Christ made a very deliberate choice of those who were to carry on his works…. there’s a little clue in what [Bishop Libby] said, she hopes to ‘inspire women’. A bishop is suppose to inspire everybody”.

Italian Left Brands Student Scrutiny of Leftist School Indoctrination as ‘Fascism’

Illustration GROK

Storm among Italian high school students: a student organisation has taken it upon itself to track down teachers who promote left-wing ideology in the classroom. The initiative is not to everyone’s liking, and the Italian Left is crying fascism.

According to the newspaper La Repubblica, leaflets were distributed in several Italian high schools by the organisation Azione Studentesca, linked to Gioventù Nazionale, the youth movement of Giorgia Meloni’s party, Fratelli d’Italia. The document contains a QR code that gives access to a questionnaire allowing students to express their views on the education system. One question in particular caught attention: “Do you have one or more left-wing teachers who spread propaganda during lessons?” It is possible to answer yes or no, and then give specific examples of this educational activism when it occurs.

Is this cause for scandal? For the Italian Left, it is nothing less than a reminder of the ‘filing’ system set up against anti-fascists during the Mussolini era. The controversy eventually escalated and reached the government. The president of the Democratic Party (PD), Francesco Boccia, told Corriere della Sera that he had asked Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to distance herself from this initiative, which he considered questionable. A teachers’ union launched the ‘Schedateci tutti’ (Register us all) campaign on social media, asking teachers to report themselves.

The initiative came from young people and the grassroots, which gave the right wing a ready-made response: we should be enthusiastic about the commitment of young people. In other times, in May 1968, we would have welcomed the fact that young people were taking up the political struggle and making their disapproval known.

Protest was then held up as a virtue, but the aim, of course, was to denounce the right wing and authority. Meloni refrained from commenting directly, leaving it to MP Giovanni Donzelli to respond. He did not let himself be deterred and replied sharply to the press: “If there are teachers who, instead of teaching properly, engage in propaganda, students have the right to protest,” he said. He accused the PD of wanting to “muzzle the voices of young people” and turned the accusation around, arguing that it was the Left that was exercising “violent censorship against young people in schools.” The president of Azione Studentesca, for his part, defended himself against any suggestion of profiling, as no names are requested in the questionnaire.

The Left is alarmed by methods that are reminiscent of ‘the darkest hours’ and the profiling of the fascist era. There is a certain hypocrisy on the part of those who, in so many other contexts, marvel at the ‘freedom of speech’ and ‘name and shame’ procedures that expose private individuals or companies accused of going against political correctness. The #MeToo movement, with its Italian variant, #quellavoltache, also consisted of a major public denunciation campaign, without anyone on the Left finding fault with it—despite the inevitable false accusations that may have crept into this great exposé.

The initiative has one merit: it highlights the hold that left-wing ideology has on the teaching profession—a hold that we tend to overlook because it seems so natural and ingrained.

A similar initiative to that of Azione Studentesca exists in France, with a platform set up by the group “Parents vigilants” (Vigilant Parents), which is close to Éric Zemmour’s Reconquête party. This time, taking the side of parents with the aim of protecting children from woke ideology and inappropriate content conveyed through the promotion of gender theory, the site also offers to collect testimonies on proven cases where teachers or school staff have clearly overstepped the mark by engaging in activism in the classroom. Teachers’ unions in France reacted sharply to the launch of this initiative and, as in Italy, denounced it as ‘ideological profiling’ in favour of the ‘Great School Survey,’ which was also launched with leaflets and QR codes at the start of the 2024 school year.

Parents Vigilants were criticised for their desire to “publicly condemn teachers whose teaching practices did not meet with the approval of far-right thinkers.” Teachers urged parents not to respond to the survey. Despite this, hundreds of testimonies of clear abuse were collected and eventually appeared in the press.

Leftist Swiss politician fined for shooting image of Jesus, Mary

A leftist Swiss politician who posted photos of herself shooting an image of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary has been convicted and sentenced to a fine.

Former member of the Green Liberal Party (GLP), Sanija Ameti, was convicted by a Zurich court and fined 3,500 Swiss Francs ($4,563). She was accused of “disturbing freedom of religion” and “endangering religious peace.”

According to the Swiss newspaper Blick, the Zurich public prosecutor’s office argued that Ameti had “publicly and maliciously insulted or mocked the beliefs of others, in particular their belief in God.” The public prosecutor’s office indicted Ameti in July 2025 and sought fines totaling 12,500 Swiss francs ($16,297). The court ultimately handed out a less severe punishment, citing that the loss of her job and the damage to her reputation were already part of the punishment.

Judge Hugo Kronauer said, “There was undoubtedly a disregard for faith,” since “the two most central figures of Christianity were shot several times in the head.”

At the same time, Ameti could not be accused of intent, as she had been in an emotionally stressful situation. Her defense attorney, Peter Bettoni, said in his closing statement that the politician had witnessed her older brother being shot dead in the Bosnian War when she was a small child. With her air gun shooting practice, she tried to “cry out to the world the pain she had carried inside her for so long.”

As LifeSiteNews reported, the incident occurred in September 2024. After facing outrage over her blasphemous actions, Ameti posted an apology and deleted the video, stating: “As a template for the 10-meter shooting range, I needed motifs that were visible enough. I only had the Koller catalog to hand, which was big enough. I didn’t pay attention to the content of the pictures. That wasn’t right. I’m sorry from the bottom of my heart if I offended anyone!”

Ameti had resigned from her position in the GLP in the canton of Zurich and was later expelled from GLP altogether. The former politician, who was born in Bosnia to Muslim parents, had also lost her job as a consultant at the Swiss PR agency Farner.

Only Operation Libero, a left-wing political movement in which Ameti still serves as co-president, defended her, writing that it values Ameti as “a politician, co-president, and friend,” while stating that her actions were “wrong and inappropriate.”

Chez papa ? Vatican plans to open bistro at top of St Peter’s 

Illustration AI generator

The Vatican is silently working on opening a bistro on the terrace at the top of Saint Peter’s Basilica, ‘Il Messaggero’ reported on Thursday.
The Rome-based daily said the eatery would be housed an existing structure on the terrace, near to the statues of the apostles, which was previously used for the materials of basilica employees. It said the Vatican had wanted to open the bistro in time for last year’s Jubilee but this had not been possible because of technical issues. It said the material to set up the structure as a bistro had been delivered and work had started and speculated that the venue could open before the end of the year.

‘France belongs to us!’ — Off-duty police officer called ‘dirty Frenchman’ and beaten in Paris park

An off-duty police officer was assaulted in broad daylight on Tuesday in the Clichy-Batignolles–Martin Luther King park in Paris’s 17th arrondissement after being followed and attacked by a man later identified as being on France’s national security watchlist, according to police union representatives and media reports.

As reported by CNews, the officer was targeted after the suspect noticed a French flag attached to his backpack, a symbol commonly worn by law enforcement or military personnel.

Fabien Bogais, national union delegate for Alliance 75, said the confrontation appeared to have begun when the attacker spotted the flag, sparking a tirade of anti-French abuse before the assault. “The altercation reportedly started when he saw a French flag on his backpack. The investigation will have to confirm this,” Bogais said.

The suspect is alleged to have insulted the officer by calling him a “dirty Frenchman” and telling him, “France belongs to us,” before punching him several times. The officer suffered injuries to his mouth and face, as well as wounds to his torso.

Police responding to the scene identified several individuals, mostly minors, who had gathered around the victim and the attacker, who was attempting to restrain him. The injured officer was treated for facial injuries and other bodily harm.

Investigators identified the suspect as Nordine B., a 38-year-old man born in Paris who is listed on the S-list, a security designation used by French intelligence services to flag individuals considered potential national security threats.

Union officials described the assault as part of a broader pattern of hostility toward law enforcement. Bogais said sustained criticism of the police was having real-world consequences, arguing that “the police bashing by a certain segment of the population, and especially by a certain segment of the political population, is paying off.”

CNews reported that, between Jan. 1 and July 31, 2024, nearly 2,650 police officers and at least 2,300 gendarmes were injured in attacks while on duty.

In September last year, six off-duty police officers were violently attacked by around 10 individuals while they were meeting colleagues for dinner in the French city of Rennes. The incident was caught on film and showed a number of individuals surrounding and beating the officers.

Prosecutor François Schneider described the attack as a “lynching,” and two suspects, originally from the island of Mayotte, were arrested and charged. Injuries to the officers included a broken ankle, a fractured nose, and several lacerations from being struck with a belt buckle.

Earlier this month, the Alliance Police Nationale union launched what it described as an unprecedented appeal to citizens to mobilize against what it considers an out-of-control level of insecurity across France due to rising migrant crime, with coordinated marches planned in 24 major cities on Saturday, Jan. 31.

In a national statement, the union warned that “France is sinking into insecurity,” arguing that crime is “organizing, structuring itself and becoming radicalized,” while “the State is retreating.”

Alliance said police officers were continuing to protect the public “at the risk of their lives,” but without sufficient staff, adequate resources, or “real legal protection.”

Muslim arranges marriage with twelve-year-old girl in the middle of Germany

Symbolbild AI generator

In a case of abuse involving an arranged marriage with a twelve-year-old child, the Essen Regional Court sentenced a 31-year-old man to four years in prison. The defendant was found guilty of aiding and abetting serious sexual abuse of a child in 18 cases, as a court spokesman in the North Rhine-Westphalian city announced on Tuesday regarding the verdict, which had already been announced last week. The marriage, which was conducted according to Islamic law, is said to have been arranged by the defendant, among others.

The 31-year-old also financed the illegal marriage of the 12-year-old to the now 24-year-old. According to the indictment, he thereby supported the subsequent acts of abuse. Between December 2021 and the end of April 2023, according to the indictment, sexual abuse and attempts thereof occurred on multiple occasions against the child’s will and with the use of force.

The 24-year-old had already been sentenced to five and a half years in juvenile detention for the offences. The verdict against the 31-year-old was handed down last Thursday.

Former French Senator Joël Guerriau Convicted for Drugging National Assembly Member Sandrine Josso With the Objective of Raping Her

Joël Guerriau and Sandrine Josso – Wiki Commons

Guerriau also won’t be able to hold elective office.

A former French senator was convicted and sentenced yesterday (27) to four years in prison, of which 18 months must be served.

The conviction is for drugging a National Assembly member in order to abuse or rape her.

Portrait of a woman with long brown hair and a green sweater, standing with arms crossed, conveying a serious expression against a neutral backdrop.

CBS News reported:

“Joël Guerriau, 68, has admitted serving Sandrine Josso a drink spiked with MDMA, known as ecstasy, but says it was an accident.

A Paris court found him guilty of having drugged Josso to sexually assault or rape her and of possession of drug. He was given an additional [two and a half years] suspended sentence, obligation of treatment and a ban on holding elected office.”

After the verdict, Josso said the sentence was a ‘huge relief’, while Guerriau’s lawyer said he would appeal the conviction and sentence.

“The trial brought national attention to drug-facilitated assault in the country already marked by the landmark drugging-and-rape case that turned Gisèle Pelicot into a global icon of the fight against sexual violence.”

Josso said Guerriau invited her to celebrate his reelection back in November 2023.

“’I really felt myself slipping away’, Josso testified Monday, saying she experienced heart palpitations shortly after taking a few sips of champagne. She said she felt uneasy being alone with Guerriau, who appeared unusually agitated and repeatedly turned lights on and off.

Josso said Guerriau later took her glass into the kitchen to refill it. That’s when she noticed him holding ‘a little bag’, which made her realize she had likely been drugged.”
