Uzbek Semi-Truck Driver Who Killed Woman on Texas Highway Caught Lying to Investigators About Crash

A semi-truck driver who killed a woman on a Texas highway last week lied to investigators about the crash.

The driver, identified as Khasan Begbaev, 39, from Uzbekistan, was charged with manslaughter after Lisa Maldonado, 33, died in the crash.

Khasan Begbaev has residency in the United States (New York), but it will be revoked, and he can be deported if he is convicted.

Begbaev initially told investigators that he took the wrong exit while traveling toward Austin on Interstate 635 and was driving slowly in the left lane with his hazard lights on.

However, dashcam footage reviewed by investigators shows that Begbaev was stopped on the off-ramp and reversed on the highway!

“Police said the camera footage showed the semi-truck stop on the ramp at 2:32 a.m. and begin slowly reversing down the highway while other vehicles passed on the right. Video captured the impact of Maldonado’s vehicle striking the rear of the backing semi at 2:34 a.m., after which the truck briefly stopped before pulling forward a short distance, according to the affidavit,” Fox 4 DFW reported.

Hunter Biden (and his laptop) enter the cryptosphere with new meme coin

The son of former President Joe Biden is launching a meme coin that takes aim at his family’s nemesis, Donald Trump. And he’s naming it for the most-infamous personal computer in American political history.

Yes, Hunter Biden’s laptop will live on. At least on the blockchain.

Biden’s token will trade under the ticker, $LAPTOP, and launch Sept. 9 on Base, a digital ledger built by Coinbase Global, the largest U.S. crypto exchange, people familiar with the matter said.

The token’s name is inspired by the sensation that followed the public’s discovery of Biden’s former computer in 2020. The contents of that device, from messages that documented his foreign business dealings to nude photos of the president’s son doing drugs, were eventually laid bare. And the leaks forged a cottage industry of investigations, conspiracies—and digital media content.

On Monday, Biden posted on X a short video clip of his laptop being referenced by different media outlets, teasing the launch of his meme coin.

Meme coins carry no intrinsic value, and most tumble in price within days or even hours after their launch. But some of the tokens have remained relevant thanks to their affiliations with a procession of celebrities, personalities and politicians who issued them to cash in on their fame. Coins tied to President Trump, first lady Melania Trump and former New York Mayor Eric Adams rocketed in value when they launched, only to crash within days.Expand article logo  Continue reading

In launching $LAPTOP, Hunter Biden will bring his weekslong media blitz to the cryptosphere. The 56-year-old has been seen and heard everywhere of late—podcasts, news shows and Substack essays—and at times alongside right-wing provocateurs such as Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes. He has opened up on his past troubles, present grievances, and at times promoted the virtues of crypto.

Outrageous! Haitian Illegal Alien Who Killed Ohio Father and Young Son in Multi-Vehicle Crash Given Huge Sweetheart Deal by Woke Judge

An unbelievable travesty of justice occurred last week in Ohio after an illegal alien who killed a loving father and his young son was given an unbelievably lenient deal.

Back on February 28, the Ohio State Highway Patrol revealed that a driver who was later identified as 53-year-old Yvio Michel of Haiti, drove his Great Dane semi-truck northbound on Interstate 75 but failed to maintain sufficient distance as he approached congested traffic. As a result, he smacked into four passenger vehicles and another semi-truck.

Lima, Ohio, resident Hurshel Gipson and his 11-year-old son, Michael, were killed in a massive crash caused by the illegal alien. Gipson’s 45-year-old wife, Amanda, who was driving the family’s 2015 Buick Enclave, was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries.

Fortunately, she managed to survive the incident.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol reported that four other victims were all in separate vehicles that were struck by Michel, who now resides in Florida. One of them was transported to a hospital with serious injuries, while two others were sent there with non-life-threatening injuries.

The crash closed the highway for five hours.

One would think that a Michel would have received a lengthy jail sentence for his reckless actions. But last Wednesday, a woke judge named Tammie K. Hursh decided to sentence Michel to just 20 days in prison for causing the crash.

Trump lifts sanctions on top Al Qaeda recruiters, financiers days before 9/11 anniversary

As the US prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Donald Trump has removed top Al Qaeda figures from the US list of designated terrorists. Among those he delisted was Abdullah Muhaysini, a Saudi cleric who recruited child fighters and teen suicide bombers to wreak havoc across Syria.

The administration of President Donald Trump has removed the names of some of the world’s most notorious commanders, recruiters and financiers for the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda from its list of specially designated terrorists. Among those relieved of US sanctions this August was Abdullah Muhaysini, a Salafi-jihadi cleric from Saudi Arabia who participated in videotaped massacres of captive soldiers and recruited droves of foreign youth to carry out suicide bombings throughout Syria over the past decade.

The delisting of the jihadist recruiters came as part of the Trump administration’s removal of the government of Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa as a State Sponsor of Terrorists. “These actions represent another historic step by President Trump to give the Syrian people a path to prosperity,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared on August 24, 2026.

Formerly known as Abu Mohammad Al-Jolani, Al-Sharaa is the co-founder of ISIS and founder of Jabhat Al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda. Under the guidance of Western advisors, Al-Sharaa rebranded Al-Nusra as Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, before he toppled the government of President Bashar Al-Assad in December 2024.

By the time he seized power, Al-Sharaa had been groomed by his NATO handlers as a reliable local enforcer. When Trump hosted Al-Sharaa in the Oval Office in November 2025, playfully misting him with Trump Cologne and asking how many wives he had, it was clear the US was ready to lift the sanctions that had devastated Syria’s economy. Two months later, Trump pitched a half-baked plan for the Syrian military to attack Iran. Washington had finally found its man in Damascus.

This August, the Trump administration went a step further, lifting sanctions on Al Qaeda propagandists, funders and fighters responsible for gruesome atrocities during the dirty war on Syria. These figures include Abu Sulayman al-Muhajir, a top Al Qaeda recruiter in Australia who fled to Syria; Shafi Sultan Mohammed al-Ajmi, a major Kuwaiti financier of Al-Nusra; and Abdul Samrez Jashari, an Albanian foreign fighter who has taken on a senior role in Syria’s military under Al-Sharaa.

Perhaps none of the Al Qaeda bandits who received sanctions relief from the Trump administration oversaw as many acts of sadistic violence as the Saudi-born, Turkish-backed cleric Abdullah Muhaysini.

Questions Arise Regarding a ‘Mole’ Inside Muslim Marxist Abdul El-Sayed’s Campaign When This Embarrassing Photo of Him Emerges

An incredibly humiliating image of far-left Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed has left some Americans wondering whether there is someone inside his campaign who is trying to sabotage him.

Last Wednesday, a tornado tore through Detroit’s East Side, causing extensive damage. The following day, El Sayed decided to stage a photo-op in the Motor City while pretending to care about the residents suffering.

Notice the stupid outfit he’s wearing.

On Saturday, former LA Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt shared a photo of Abdul El-Sayed not only next to a much taller man but also wearing that same pink poncho, which looks like a trash bag. One would think that parts of Michigan were experiencing a monsoon.

But no, it was barely drizzling outside. This caused Pratt to declare that there must be a mole on El-Sayed’s campaign staff because he looks so absurd.

“Oompa Loompa Abdul has a mole on his staff, trying to sabotage him,” Pratt wrote. “First, ignore how dumb it is to put him next to a normal-sized man.”

Greenland’s Icecap Grew This Year

Greenland’s icecap is melting away thanks to global warming, at least that is what we are told. According to the EU’s European State of the Climate 2025 Report, the ice sheet lost 139 Gt last year. They say that is equivalent to about 1.5 times the amount of ice stored in all the glaciers in the European Alps, and raised global mean sea level by 0.4 mm. (A gigatonne is one billion tonnes.) Since 1972, losses have amounted to 5,747 Gt. The rate of ice loss has increased by around five times since the 1980s and is expected to continue increasing beyond the end of the century.

These amounts sound terrifying, which is of course the object of the exercise – at least until you realise that at present rates it would take Greenland 27,000 years to melt away.

I am always suspicious when ‘scientists’ present trends since the 1970s, a time when the Earth had gone through three decades of cooling and there were genuine fears among both scientists and world leaders about the return of the Little Ice Age. I am even more suspicious when I discover that official data about the Greenland ice sheet is publicly available back to 1840.

In 2021, a peer-reviewed study calculated the annual changes in the ice sheet mass balance since 1840. (The heavy black line represents the net changes, which is of relevance to this discussion):

This is the 2026 Senate Race That Has Democrats Very Worried

Republicans are already favored to keep the Senate in the 2026 midterms, but that is not stopping Democrats from trying to gain control of the chamber. Dems would love nothing more than to control both chambers so they can do all of the crazy things they’ve been promising to their base.

There are some candidates on the left who are so far out, people like James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, who Democrats and the media are pushing hard, but who are so polarizing that their chances aren’t great.

The race that is really worrying Democrats is New Hampshire.

Republican John Sununu is running against Democrat Chris Pappas and Sununu has some big advantages. He has already been a U.S. Senator for New Hampshire and his last name has massive recognition in the state – his father was governor.

This race would actually be a pick-up for Republicans.

This Is Why Homeland Security’s Request that DOJ Investigate the ERIC System Is So Damn Important

In January 2022, TGP published a 3-part series about the ERIC non-profit. The Electronic Registration Information Center was supposedly helping 31 states clean their voter rolls. The more data, documents, videos, and transcripts that TGP reviewed, the more ERIC smelled like a cloaked Democrat operation. So we published what we learned about ERIC.

In the weeks and months after our series, the left-wing media conducted an unbelievable campaign to defend ERIC. They, of course, attempted to discredit TGP and intimidate State officials thinking of leaving ERIC.

Eventually, 9 of the 31 member States left the ERIC non-profit for several reasons. Virginia rejoined ERIC in 2026 after a Democrat won the governor’s office. Why was the left-wing media ferociously supporting this tiny non-profit with only 3 employees?

Well, it gave the left access to states’ voter rolls and their coveted MVD/DMV (Motor Vehicle Dept / Dept. of Motor Vehicles) data too! About a year later, Verity Vote confirmed that ERIC data was, in fact, being shared with the left-wing activist group CEIR and David Becker.

The ERIC voter registration non-profit says their “sole mission is assisting states to improve the accuracy of voter rolls and increase access to voter registration.” Most now know the first part is just not true – at all.

ERIC provides five types of reports (lists) to its members. The members must ask ERIC for most of these reports, as frequently as monthly. But ERIC operates like a secret black box – a State makes a report request, and days later their report is ready for download. That election jurisdiction has little idea how these reports were created or if they contain any bias.

Amy Acton’s ‘Assassination Attempt’ Narrative Is Falling Apart

You may have heard about the alleged assassination attempt against Ohio Democrat gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton over the weekend.

“While attending the Canfield Fair, an armed individual lunged at Dr. Acton, injuring multiple people. Dr. Acton and Eric are grateful for the swift and decisive action of law enforcement and are praying for the recovery of those injured. This kind of violence has no place in Ohio. Dr. Acton will always stand up to the chaos, hate and vitriol that pits us against one another,” said Addie Bullock, communications director for the Acton campaign.

There’s just one problem. This story is a complete lie.

That statement is carefully worded to make you think Acton was standing in a gunman’s crosshairs. She wasn’t. Acton was never touched, never injured, and never threatened.

An armed man pushed through a crowd at the Canfield Fair on Sunday, knocking down two elderly fairgoers before deputies tackled him and placed him under arrest. Within hours, her campaign and a sympathetic press corps turned an arrest for disorderly conduct into an assassination attempt.

The campaign lied.

Yet, the New York Times, of all outlets, couldn’t even back up the Acton campaign’s version of events.

“An armed man was arrested Sunday after forcing his way through a crowd toward Dr. Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for Ohio governor, the authorities said,” the paper reported. “Dr. Acton was giving a speech at the Mahoning County Democratic Party tent at a fair in Canfield, in the northeastern part of the state, when a man pushed through the crowd, knocking over two elderly audience members, according to the county sheriff, Jerry Greene, and two witnesses. The man did not draw his weapons, according to Sheriff Greene and the witnesses. Dr. Acton was not injured.”

Had there been even a hint of evidence that this was an assassination attempt or some form of attack against a political candidate, you can bet law enforcement would have treated it as such. But, law enforcement officials made it quite clear there was no assassination attempt, and the suspect is facing misdemeanor assault charges.

The Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as Patrick Havas, an Ohio resident, and released his mugshot after the incident inside a crowded tent at the Canfield Fair near Youngstown. Havas faces two counts of assault for knocking over those elderly attendees and one count of disorderly conduct. He carried two firearms in holsters under a valid Ohio concealed-carry permit and never drew either one. Officers only discovered the guns after they already had him in handcuffs.

Trump Declares an End to Selling Canada’s Bombardier Planes in the US Unless They Build in the US as Trade War Escalates

President Trump on Monday escalated the trade war with Canada, announcing that Bombardier, a Canadian airplane manufacturer, will no longer be allowed to sell its jets in the United States unless they build in the US.  

Last month, Trump slapped 50% tariffs on about $20 billion of Canadian goods. Canada’s Mark Carney, in response, reportedly announced plans to impose tariffs of 15% to 50% on American goods.

Now, Trump is threatening to decertify Canadian business jets if manufacturing isn’t moved to the United States.

“NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough!” Trump said, accusing the company of “treating America like a piggybank.”

“Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A.”

“BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST!” Trump added.

NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A.

They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.”

BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
