Tom Pappert, lead reporter at The Tennessee Star, criticized the handling of Nashville's recent ice storm, highlighting what he described as systemic mismanagement by city officials and the Nashville Electric Service (NES) board.

More than 108,000 NES customers remained without power Wednesday morning after an ice storm swept through the region over the weekend. The utility company has since faced criticism after multiple union members and contractors reported that NES declined offers of assistance from available linemen to restore service.

Two members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, who spoke anonymously to Fox 17, claimed that NES "declined offers of assistance from multiple union crews, potentially opting for less expensive contractors instead."

In comparison, other Middle Tennessee electric companies have reported far fewer outages. Middle Tennessee Electric, which serves more than 359,000 customers, reported only 284 outages at noon on Wednesday.

On several occasions, Levy engaged in different kinds of non-consensual sexual activity with minors, the details of which are laid out in the Prosecutor's Office statement.

Modi'in resident Itai Levy, CEO of KERNELIOS cyber company, was found guilty of committing several sexual offenses against minors aged 4-12, according to a Wednesday statement from the State Prosecutor's Office and KAN News.

Levy confessed and pleaded guilty to four separate counts of statutory rape of a minor under 16 years of age, as well as indecent acts on a minor under 16 years of age, and violation of privacy.

As part of his plea bargain, the Prosecutor's Office requested that the court sentence Levy to ten years of actual prison time, as well as an additional suspended sentence and a NIS 258,000 fine.

Comment: Considering Israeli citizens actually rioted on behalf of IDF soldiers' "right" to rape Palestinian prisoners, this is hardly surprising. What a cesspool of a "country".

"Signal-Gate" continues to erupt out of Minneapolis, as the organizational structure or command-and-control nodes of left-wing activists operating within encrypted messaging apps were infiltrated and exposed on Sunday, revealing that on-the-ground pressure campaigns against federal agents were highly coordinated and, according to some experts, exhibit characteristics of a "low-level insurgency."

"We're investigating. As soon as Higby put that post out, I opened an investigation on it. If that leads to a break in the federal statute or a violation of some law, then we are going to arrest people. They should be worried. If they broke the law, you should be worried," FBI Director Kash Patel told Benny Johnson this afternoon.

Crumbling infrastructure: Massive sewage spill flowing into Potomac River upstream from Washington

A massive pipe that moves millions of gallons of sewage has ruptured and sent wastewater flowing into the Potomac River northwest of Washington, D.C., polluting it ahead of a major winter storm that has repair crews scrambling.

DC Water, which operates the sewer system, is hooking up pumps to divert sewage around the rupture and allow crews to make repairs. It has cautioned people to stay out of the area and to wash their skin if exposed.

The spill was caused by a 72-inch (183-centimeter) diameter sewer pipe that collapsed late Monday, shooting sewage out of the ground and into the river. DC Water spokesperson John Lisle said the utility estimates the overflow at about 40 million gallons (about 150 million liters) each day — enough to fill about 66 Olympic-size swimming pools — but it's not clear exactly how much has spilled into the river since the overflow began.

Signs warn the public to stay away

"Oh, my god, the smell is horrific," said Dean Naujoks, the Potomac Riverkeeper and part of an environmental nonprofit. "It's such high concentrations of sewage that just grabbing a sample is a public health risk."

Censorship concerns are back in the spotlight after TikTok users claim to be having trouble posting about Jeffrey Epstein and ICE raids.

Days after the company finalized a sale to a consortium of American investors who now control TikTok's business in the US - which averted a national ban of the app over national security concerns - users report being unable to use the word "Epstein" in direct messages.

The company responded, telling NPR "We don't have rules against sharing the name 'Epstein' in direct messages and are investigating why some users are experiencing issues."

Doing great harm? How DEI and identity politics are infecting American healthcare―and how we are fighting back

The Minnesota chapter of White Coats for Black Lives, a medical student group, greeted the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led terrorist attack on Israel by saying that Palestinians should "free themselves from their oppressors by any means necessary."

In 2024, the Oregon Medical Board proposed including "microaggressions" in the category of "unprofessional misconduct" for which doctors could be punished up to losing their licenses. Among the examples of microaggressions mentioned by one of the state's experts is saying "America is the land of opportunity" or "I believe the most qualified person should get the job."

The Ohio State University College of Medicine instructs students and faculty not to ask black colleagues "How are you doing?" It's not an appropriate question, the college explained, because "Black People (and all People of Color) ... experience racism every day."

Anti-ICE protesters violently swarmed a Minneapolis hotel where they believed federal officers were staying, hurling items at people inside, smashing its windows, and graffitiing "F-K ICE" across the building's facade Sunday.

The large mob descended on the Home2 Suites by Hilton Hotel late Sunday, as tensions gripped the Twin Cities just one day after Border Patrol agents shot and killed protester Alex Pretti, 37, in Minneapolis.

They shoved and hurled objects at a Minneapolis Police Department officer and others just inside the hotel's lobby and attempted to push their way in — forcing those inside to use two large vending machines to physically block the rowdy demonstrators.

California's 'billionaire tax' is a mirror of EU green socialism

The mid-19th century Gold Rush earned California the nickname "Golden State." Over generations, the region became a place of aspiration — a projection screen for ambition and prosperity. Here, the American Dream coalesced into tangible stories of social mobility. Today, the state has become the stage for a political experiment that mirrors Europe's globalist ideology.

This year's World Economic Forum in Davos was entirely overshadowed by Donald Trump's speech. The U.S. President declared the centrally planned EU-style climate socialism a failure, sending a chill through those who had benefited economically from the past years' policies and fully embraced the green transformation agenda.

A politician who seems particularly devoted to this European-style centralist approach is California Governor Gavin Newsom. The day after Trump's grand Davos performance, Newsom had the chance to present his perspective — a performance that quickly struck observers as bizarre. He labeled the Western leaders' response to Trump's policies as pathetic, accusing them of cowardice and bowing to the Trump administration. Symbolically, he carried a pair of bright red Trump Signature Knee Pads as a political prop, claiming he should have brought a full set for every world leader.

What journalist Andy Ngo saw in Minnesota's far left Signal chats

The mass mobilization agitation now unfolding in Minneapolis and St. Paul by far-left, open-border extremists bears the hallmarks of a coordinated and professional operation designed to obstruct federal law enforcement. None of this should come as a surprise. These tactics are an evolution of methods tested during the deadly 2020 BLM-Antifa riots, which were centered largely in the Twin Cities.

In recent weeks, numerous Antifa-linked revolutionary anarchist collectives have promoted organizing guides that explicitly instruct extremists on how to carry out obstructionist campaigns. These materials consistently recommend the encrypted messaging app Signal as the primary tool for coordination. Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two militant leftist activists shot dead this month, may have been part of these groups.

What are militants saying to one another inside these chats?

Israel to reopen Gaza's Rafah crossing after search for captive's body ends

Israel has said it will allow a "limited reopening" of Gaza's Rafah crossing with Egypt when the operation to locate the body of the last remaining Israeli captive in the Palestinian territory is completed.

The announcement from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office came late on Sunday as Palestinians mourned at least three people killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza.

Netanyahu's office said the Rafah crossing, which was supposed to have opened during the initial phase of a United States-brokered ceasefire in October, would reopen for the passage of people only.
"The move is conditioned on the return of all living [captives] and the execution of 100 percent effort on the part of Hamas to locate and return all deceased [captives]."
All have been returned, except for the body of police officer Ran Gvili. ‍The Israeli military ⁠said on Sunday it was searching a cemetery in northern Gaza near the "yellow line", which marks off Israeli-controlled parts of the territory, while an Israeli military official said there were "several intelligence leads" regarding Gvili's possible location.
