Secret FBI Investigation: Was Trump Really a Russian Agent? New

Secret FBI Investigation: Was Trump Really a Russian Agent?

WASHINGTON — The FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was “wittingly or unwittingly” acting as a Russian agent when he fired then-Director James Comey in 2017, according to bombshell documents released by the White House Wednesday.The probe, called Oxferd Comma, grew out of Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau’s probe into whether Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with the Kremlin to get the 45th president elected.The Trump White House initially cited Comey’s handling of the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server as the reason for his dismissal — but it was later revealed the president fired Comey because he wouldn’t publicly state that Trump was not a target of Crossfire Hurricane.

(Jack Gruber) USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectThe May 16, 2017, memo opening Oxferd Comma was approved by then-FBI General Counsel James A. Baker and Bill Priestap, assistant director of the bureau’s counterintelligence division.The probe was meant to “determine if President Trump is or was directed by, controlled by, and/or coordinated activities with, the Russian Federation in a manner constituting a threat to the national security of the United States and/or a violation of federal criminal statutes,” the memo said.“In addition, this investigation will also seek to determine whether President Trump and others yet to be named obstructed and/or conspiracy to obstruct any associated FBI investigation.”Trump was not under personal investigation for collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign, but his firing of Comey raised questions about possible obstruction of justice, which triggered an investigation headed by then-special counsel Robert Mueller, a former FBI director.Oxferd Comma was closed on April 9, 2019, with no charges against Trump.

He accused the FBI of targeting him and has often refered to Comey as a “dirty cop.”

Sophie Rain's Jaw-Dropping Transformation: What Sparked the Frenzy?

One of OnlyFans' most successful creators, Sophie Rain, has sparked fresh debate online after posting a side-by-side comparison of herself at prom and today. The 20-year-old, who has become a multi-millionaire through the subscription platform, shared the two photos on social media with the caption: "how it started vs how it's going."

Rain has become one of the platform's highest earners and has frequently attracted headlines after revealing that, despite her career in adult content, she is still a virgin. She has previously claimed she has rejected multiple offers worth five and six figures from people seeking to pay for her virginity, saying she has no intention of accepting them. Social media responds Her latest post quickly generated thousands of reactions, with many users commenting on the dramatic transformation between the two photographs. One X user wrote: "The girl on the left is what most men would marry regardless of stature. That girl was also(presumably) innocent and a virgin. You are no longer either." Another simply commented: "Soo much change happens ?!" A third user praised the transformation, writing: "I think that's what they call a glow-up." Meanwhile, another person appeared stunned by the comparison, adding: "Ain't no way the same girl." Rain claimed that she earned $83 million for her content in 2025 alone, after making $43 million in her first year selling content on OnlyFans. However, the US-based adult star recently revealed that she has been lying to followers about her age, admitting that she was actually 19 when she signed up. Featured Image.

Why Everyone's Talking About 'Symbiosexual' Attraction New

Why Everyone's Talking About 'Symbiosexual' Attraction

Now more than ever, more people are coming out as 'symbiosexual' - and we're not surprised. Sexuality is a complex aspect of human identity, influenced by a wide range of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. It is not simply about sexual orientation or behavior but encompasses desires, attractions, emotional connections, and personal experiences that can change over time. People’s understanding of their own sexuality can be fluid and influenced by their environment, upbringing, societal norms, and individual life experiences. Sexuality is a complex aspect of human identity. Credit: Igor Ustynskyy / Getty Cultural expectations, religious beliefs, and social pressures can further complicate one’s expression of sexuality, often leading to inner conflicts or confusion. Cue symbiosexualism. Love triangles have been a staple part of narratives throughout storytelling history, but scientists now believe that this has influenced an entirely new sexuality. A new study by researchers at Seattle University has identified that 'symbiosexual' people are attracted to the energy between established couples rather than between themselves and one other person, bringing a whole new meaning to the more, the merrier. Symbiosexualism is a newly researched sexuality type. Credit: Maskot/Getty This type of sexuality is described as "attraction to the energy, multidimensionality, and power shared between people in relationships," as per a definition provided by the Archives of Sexual Behavior when discussing a previous 2023 study titled 'The Pleasure Study.' The study, which surveyed 373 participants about aspects of their sexual and gender identity, also found that a large portion of participants in the study actually felt romantic and sexual attraction to the “synergy” of a third person being thrown into the mix. And in a world filled with open relationships and sexual freedom, we're not surprised. Credit: Visoot Uthairam/Getty Speaking of the outcome, Dr. Sally Johnston, an adjunct professor of anthropology and sociology who conducted the study, said: "We need to rethink the nature of human attraction and desire as only one-to-one experiences." Further research into the topic found that there was a "lack of recognition and validation for this attraction," even within the polyamorous community and this often led to the mistreatment of the third person within the relationship. The findings of the studies mentioned above allegedly "push the boundaries of the concepts of desire and sexual orientation in sexuality studies and challenge the ongoing invisibility and invalidation of and stigma and discrimination against such attractions," according to Dr. Johnson. In an interview with the PsyPost, the researcher revealed that she was first interested in delving more into the unique sexuality after "[hearing] people talk openly about experiencing attraction to established couples." "I wanted to learn more about this understudied attraction," she added. Credit: Klaus Vedfelt/Getty After conducting the study, participants were interviewed to get a better understanding of why this sexuality was the best to describe what they were attracted to. One participant, referred to as 'Hayden', said that she was attracted to couples because of "their cohesiveness." "You feed off their energy, their attraction to each other… there’s an interplay between the couple," she added. Another participant, called 'Sage', also added: "I also just want to be smack in the middle of that relationship. I would also like to be included in this relationship... I really think my ideal dynamic might be myself and a couple." While there is not much research out there about this particular desire currently, we're sure there will be much more over the next decade as sexuality continues to broaden.

Indiana Horror: What Drove This Man to Attack a Newborn?

An Indiana nutjob viciously bit a newborn’s face to stop it from crying — and later allegedly told cops the infant looked like a “busted up egg” when he was done with it.Authorities say Kaden Manuel Lewis Shurm, 18, began by “nibbling” on the 9-day-old baby’s cheek before repeatedly biting in a “chomping down” motion, according to FOX59.Shrum, who tips the scales at a whopping 250 pounds, was arrested and charged with felony battery with injury to a person under 14.  Kaden Manuek Lewis Shrum allegedly bit an infant and claimed the baby looked like an egg. Monroe County Sheriff's Office Shrum’s wanted poster in connection with his bond violation for previous acts. Monroe County Sheriff's OfficeA pediatrician first alerted child protective services to the infant’s injuries on July 14, prompting a probe by the Bloomington Police Department, according to court documents obtained by The Post.The brazen biter reportedly confessed that he bit the child to silence it at around 4 a.m. — initially “nibbling” before escalating until the newborn’s face resembled a “busted up egg.”Shrum was arrested at the hospital; the baby’s current condition remains unknown.It was not immediately clear if Shrum and the child had any relation. The lunatic also faces felony charges in separate cases for battery with a deadly weapon and criminal recklessness, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge.Shrum briefly posted a $5,500 bond on the child abuse charge on July 21 before being re-arrested on a bond revocation warrant for the prior cases.

Jetstar's Bold Move: Why Passengers Will Pay for Overhead Locker Use New

Jetstar's Bold Move: Why Passengers Will Pay for Overhead Locker Use

For passengers on the budget Australian airline Jetstar, the days of cramming your bag into an overhead locker already full of your seatmates’ full-sized suitcases are coming to an end, but there’s a catch.The carrier will charge passengers for stowing carry-on bags in the overhead compartments, beginning in February 2027.The move came after passengers and airline staff named “having bags weighed at the gate and struggling to find room in overhead lockers as the more stressful parts of the airport experience,” the carrier said in a statement on Wednesday.Australian budget airline Jetstar will soon charge passengers to use overhead compartments for carry-on bags. Space_Cat – stock.adobe.comIt makes Jetstar the latest low-cost carrier to introduce a payment system for carry-on bags, with budget airlines in the United States and Europe commonly charging passengers to use the compartments.Passengers could stow a purse, laptop bag or small backpack that fitted within specified measurements under the seat in front of them for no charge, Jetstar said.The cost of using the overhead compartments in the cabin would start from 25 Australian dollars ($18) one way, with the price depending on the route.Bags stowed in the lockers can weigh up to 10 kilograms (22 pounds) and will no longer be weighed by airline staff as passengers line up to board, Jetstar said.The existing weight limit of 7 kilograms (15 pounds) will be scrapped for the small item placed under travelers’ seats.Starting February 2027, the airline will charge from $18 one way for overhead storage. Jo Panuwat D – stock.adobe.comLike many carriers worldwide, Australian and New Zealand airlines have already introduced charges for checked luggage, seat selection, and some dining and in-flight entertainment options.An industry analyst said, however, that Jetstar was the first to charge for use of the overhead lockers.“It will ruffle feathers because Australian travelers have got such high expectations,” said Sharon Petersen, CEO of AirlineRatings.com. “For such a long time they lived in a bubble of full-service options only.”Jetstar said the change would reduce frustrations at boarding gates.But passengers can still stow a small bag under their seat for free. ISVO – stock.adobe.com“By giving customers an underseat bag with the option to add Priority Carry-on, we can make better use of overhead locker space, streamline boarding and help more flights depart on time,” Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully said in a statement.She added that the move would ensure customers only paid for what they needed. Petersen, however, said Jetstar’s base fares remained higher than those of low-budget carriers in Europe that had brought in similar policies.“Jetstar’s starting price is generally well above what Ryanair or Wizz Air can offer, largely because Australia lacks that level of competition and because wages, taxes and operating costs sit much higher here,” she said.

NYC's Bold Grocery Plan Sparks Outrage: What Critics Are Saying New

NYC's Bold Grocery Plan Sparks Outrage: What Critics Are Saying

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s plan for five city-owned grocery stores has a shockingly bad business model, industry insiders argued, citing the administration’s newly released “request for proposals.”The socialist mayor has long touted his plan to bring New Yorkers cheaper goods by opening a “publicly-funded, privately-operated” supermarket in each borough.The socialist mayor has long touted his plan to bring New Yorkers cheaper goods by opening “publicly-funded, privately-operated” groceries throughout the five boroughs. Gregory P. Mango for NY PostBut the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s 44-page RFP released last week — seeking contracting bids from vendors to run the shops — reveal the “ridiculous idea” will only lead to “crappy” stores, Chicago restaurateur Nick Kokonas claimed.“We have an efficient system… just change the outcomes,” Kokonas said in an X thread Monday blasting the city’s plan. But a recent analysis of the New York City Economic Development Corporation’s plans for the grocery stores reveals that the “ridiculous idea” will only lead to “crappy” stores, restaurateur Nick Kokonas claimed. Gregory P. Mango for NY PostWhile the RFP states that bidders who “seek to run all five (5) sites” are preferred, so far only two of the locations – one in Manhattan and the other in The Bronx – have actually been identified by City Hall, Kokonas noted.“Bidders are supposed to price unknown stores in unknown neighborhoods by assuming they’re ‘about 15,000 sq ft.’ Absurd,” Kokonas said, in the thread, which quickly went viral.The RFP also notes the city paying for “the design and fit out of sites” – while the responsibility for the upkeep of the stores will fall on the laps of the operators. While the RFP says that preference is given to bidders who “seek to run all five (5) sites,” only two of the five locations – one in Manhattan and another in the Bronx – have actually been identified.  Gregory P. Mango for NY PostOther bizarre choices highlighted in the plan by Kokonas include the grocery’s stated goal to have a “limited” variety of foods – while also carrying kosher, halal, vegan, dairy-free and diabetic options.  Gregory P. Mango for NY Post“So NYC makes the capital decisions while someone else pays for the consequences,” said the businessman.Other bizarre choices highlighted in the plan by Kokonas included the stated goal for the supermarkets to offer a “limited” variety of foods – while also carrying kosher, halal, vegan, dairy-free and diabetic options. He also noted that the subsidized “Core Basket” of goods — items to be offered at 30% below market price, according to City Hall — could include “chicken salad, egg salad, potato salad, fruit salad and other deli-prepared foods.”But the stores won’t have food preparation on site or a deli counter, according to the RFP, so “you’re going to ship them in every day prepared. Gotcha…,” Kokonas wrote.Also eyebrow-raising, City Hall recently confirmed ID will not be required to shop — meaning anyone, regardless of income or residency, can purchase the taxpayer subsidized groceries.“No means test. Anyone can shop there. So taxpayers will subsidize groceries for affluent shoppers who happen to live nearby, while needy families elsewhere get zero,” Kokonas said. “No means test. Anyone can shop there. So taxpayers will subsidize groceries for affluent shoppers who happen to live nearby, while needy families elsewhere get zero,” Kokonas said.  Gregory P. Mango for NY PostOther industry insiders were also befuddled by the RFP.“None of the metrics fit in my experience,” Andy Arons, former owner of Gourmet Garage, told The Post on Tuesday. “They would be so much better by increasing SNAP benefits for those who need it.”Fernando Matteo, of the United Bodegas of America group, called the grocery plan “a f—ing gimmick.”“It makes no sense,” he fumed, adding that if Mamdani “wants to make a difference” on affordability, he should work with existing grocery stores.The mayor’s office and the EDC did not respond to requests for comment. Kokonas couldn’t immediately be reached.

Revealed: The Shocking Truth Behind 'Zombie Angelina Jolie' New

Revealed: The Shocking Truth Behind 'Zombie Angelina Jolie'

Remember the woman who went viral in 2017 for looking like a corpse version of Angelina Jolie ? Well, it turns out she looks nothing like that and never really did - although most people would have found that pretty obvious from the start. Sahar Tabar, whose real name is Fatemeh Khishvand, is a 25-year-old Iranian woman who became one of the most talked-about people on the internet after posting a series of photos on Instagram that made her look like Jolie had been dug up and reanimated. Sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, a skeletal face that launched a thousand headlines about 'botched plastic surgery' and '50 operations gone wrong'. None of that was true. She used makeup and Photoshop - pretty simple really when you think about it. However, the Iranian government didn't see the funny side, and what happened next was about as far from funny as it gets. Tabar used Photoshop to alter her appearance. Credit: Instagram/sahartabar_official What happened to Sahar Tabar? In October 2019, when she was 18, Iranian authorities arrested her as part of a crackdown on social media influencers. She was charged with blasphemy, inciting violence, encouraging youth corruption, and gaining income through inappropriate means. Iran has some of the strictest internet censorship laws in the world and routinely targets people who are seen to be promoting things it doesn't like. In December 2020, she fell foul of those strict rules and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. 10 years, all for posting edited photos of herself on Instagram. While inside, she caught Covid-19 and was reportedly put on a ventilator. Her lawyers pushed for her release on medical grounds. A judge refused that appeal, leading Iranian journalist and women's rights activist Masih Alinejad to publicly call on Angelina Jolie herself to intervene, writing that Tabar's mother 'cries every day' for her daughter. She was eventually released on bail in mid-December 2020, having served around 14 or 15 months. Alinejad confirmed the news on Twitter: "Today Iranian teenager who posted heavily distorted images of herself online and was jailed for 10 years has been freed after massive media pressure." Tabar's Instagram has now been deleted. Credit: Instagram/sahartabar_official What does she actually look like? After her release, Tabar appeared on Rokna, an Iranian state-owned media channel, and showed her real face for the first time. People were genuinely shocked. She looked like a completely normal young woman. She had no skeletal features, no sunken cheeks, and - crucially - nothing remotely zombie-like. Again, most people figured that way before, but it's still a bit of a shock. She explained on the programme that her mother had told her to stop posting the images but she hadn't listened. "Sometimes the words of a stranger or a friend can be more important than those of a parent," she said. She described her posts as a 'vulgarity' that helped her become famous, but said she would not be going back to Instagram. "I would not even put Instagram on my phone anymore," she said. The interview left viewers stunned . "Omg it was makeup thank god," one wrote. Another said: "Wow! It's so sad what lengths people would go to for fame. They should have tackled her body dysmorphia rather than an uncalled-for prison sentence." Tabar's real appearance has come as a surprise. Credit: YouTube/Rokna Was any of it real? For the most part, no. In a 2017 interview with Russian outlet Sputnik before her arrest, Tabar had already admitted the images were created using makeup and digital editing. She said she did it to 'amuse' herself. "Now I can see that I have something in common with her, but I amuse myself, and to look like someone is not my goal," she explained. "Over time I post a photo, I make my face more fun and funny. It is a form of self-expression, a kind of art." She did have some cosmetic work done. A nose job, lip fillers, and liposuction have all been confirmed. But the full zombie look that went viral was makeup, lighting, and Photoshop. The '50 surgeries' story that circulated at the time was never true. Where is Sahar Tabar now? She deleted her Instagram profile in 2019 before her arrest. Iran has since banned Instagram entirely, along with Facebook, X, and most other major Western social media platforms. Tabar has not returned to public life in any significant way since the Rokna interview. She would now be 25 years old. Whether she is still in Iran, still subject to the conditions of her bail, or has moved on entirely from the persona that made her famous and then cost her over a year of her life is not publicly known. What is known is that an 18-year-old girl posted some edited photos of herself on Instagram, went viral, and was arrested by her own government for it. She spent over a year in prison, caught Covid, came out the other side, showed the world her real face, and said she was done with social media for good. The photos were fake, but the prison sentence was very real. Featured image credit: Instagram/Sahar Tabar

Armed Suspect at Trump Golf Course: What Isn't Being Said?

President Trump shrugged off the armed suspect arrested near his Southern California fundraiser this week, brushing aside the security scare and suggesting it comes with the territory of being a president who matters.“The only thing I get a little solace from is they say only consequential presidents, and I am definitely consequential,” Trump told Fox News @ Night host Trace Gallagher during an exclusive interview Tuesday.President Donald Trump appears in an interview on “Fox News @ Night” to discuss the latest on Iran, the economy, and other top headlines.

California Gov.

Jaw-Dropping Transformation: What Happened Just 20 Days After Surgery? New

Jaw-Dropping Transformation: What Happened Just 20 Days After Surgery?

An orthodontic surgeon has gone viral after revealing the dramatic transformation of a patient just 20 days after undergoing a series of corrective jaw procedures. Dr. Narmin Gurbanova, an Azerbaijani surgeon who specializes in orthognathic (jaw) surgery, shared before-and-after images of the patient on Instagram, showcasing the dramatic changes to the woman’s facial profile following image-changing jaw treatment. Surgeon posts astonishing transformation The surgeon shared a before and after of her patient. (stock image). Credit: Pramote Polyamate / Getty Alongside the images, Dr. Gurbanova explained that the patient first underwent orthodontic treatment before having several surgical procedures. "Our patient was prepared for surgery through orthodontic treatment, followed by the successful performance of BSSO, Le Fort I osteotomy, and genioplasty," she wrote. She added that the results were already becoming apparent less than three weeks after the operation. “The transformation achieved is already clearly evident just 20 days after the surgery. Noticeable improvements are observed in the facial profile, dental occlusion, and smile aesthetics." Dr. Gurbanova also praised the collaborative effort behind the outcome, writing: “This result is the fruit of strong teamwork, precise planning, and patient cooperation." BSSO, or bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, is a procedure used to reposition the lower jaw, while a Le Fort I osteotomy involves moving the upper jaw. Genioplasty is surgery performed to reshape or reposition the chin. Dr. Gurbanova has performed hundreds of orthognathic procedures throughout her career and is among a growing number of specialists working in the rapidly expanding facial surgery sector, which has become a multi-billion-dollar global industry. The dramatic before-and-after images quickly spread across social media, where users shared mixed reactions to the transformation. Social media responds to the transformation One user praised the outcome, posting: "This is amazing and the type of surgery that’s worth it!" A third commented: "This is what those surgeries are made for. Not for celebs to make cosmetic adjustments that they'll never be happy with." While many people applauded the surgical result, others criticized some of the comments directed at the patient's appearance, arguing that reconstructive and orthognathic procedures should focus on improving function and quality of life as well as esthetics.

Armed Intruder Captured at Trump Golf Course: What Was He Planning? New

Armed Intruder Captured at Trump Golf Course: What Was He Planning?

Jeanine John Taele was arrested on Sunday, accused by federal agents of engaging in suspicious behavior at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, days before President Donald Trump was scheduled to attend a Republican National Committee fundraiser.Investigators allege that 38-year-old Taele of Downey, California, was photographing and recording "security-planning activities" around the property. He was arrested on weapons-related charges and the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department said they found illegal firearms and ammunition in his car when they searched it. Authorities Say a Lot of 'What Ifs at This Point'"There's a lot of what ifs at this point," Captain Calvin Mah, leader of the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Major Crimes Bureau, told Newsweek. "We have to do some scrubbing of backgrounds and areas we might have access to to see if there are additional weapons." Mah added that authorities are analyzing a notebook that was found and believed to have belonged to Taele and that authorities are looking into any social media profiles they can find of the suspect.Taele's first name being Jeanine prompted immediate speculation online that the suspect was transgender. But Mah dismissed the claim, telling Newsweek that Taele is a biological male.Conservative attorney and Trump ally Mike Davis posted to X on Tuesday in reaction to Taele's arrest, saying, "Jeanine and 'his'? Hmmmmm."Taele was also wanted by the El Segundo, California, police department in a robbery investigation. Mah told Newsweek that the El Segundo force put out a watch in a California database and that when Taele was booked, it alerted the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department that there was a watch out on him.Mah said the department then notified El Segundo that Taele was in custody. He said he believes the robbery probe was a few months old and didn't believe the suspect had other arrests on his record, but Mah hadn't been given access to his full criminal background.Newsweek reached out to the White House and U.S. Secret Service via email on Tuesday night for comment....What We KnowThe investigation expanded after detectives executed a search warrant at Taele's residence.
