The Terror Court Congress Built and Forgot About Just Got Its First Case Under Trump — and Survived Its First Challenge
The Trump DOJ filed the first one on July 15. On Thursday, it survived its first constitutional challenge. The terror court is open for business.
The defendant is Nazira Haji Zada, 47, a lawful permanent resident from Afghanistan living in Fort Worth, Texas. Federal prosecutors allege she is the matriarch of an ISIS-sympathizing family that planned a mass shooting on American voters on Election Day 2024. Her son Abdullah and son-in-law Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi have already pleaded guilty. Abdullah, who was 17 at the time of his arrest, received 15 years as an adult. Tawhedi is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and attempting to arm himself for a federal terrorism offense.
The two men were arrested on October 7, 2024 — one year to the day after Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis — after purchasing two AK-47-style rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition from an undercover FBI agent. The weapons were intended for an attack targeting large crowds around Election Day.
Haji Zada herself was not criminally charged. The government is pursuing her removal through a civil immigration proceeding — exactly the type the ATRC was designed for. The DOJ alleges she indoctrinated her children with ISIS ideology, concealed their radicalization from her husband, and helped prepare the family to flee to Afghanistan immediately after the planned attack. The family sold furniture, computers, a phone, and two vehicles. A contract was signed to sell the family home. One-way tickets to Kabul were purchased for her and several children for a date shortly before Election Day.
Chief Judge Joan Ericksen refused to dismiss the case Thursday and denied a request to release Haji Zada from custody — handing the DOJ a critical early win. The court did require prosecutors to supplement their filing with a clearer connection to the terrorism provisions cited. The government complied. The court found it sufficient.
Acting AG Todd Blanche didn’t soften the framing: “The allegations in this case show the matriarch of an ISIS-sympathizing family aiding in a plot to launch a mass casualty attack.”
The defense called the entire proceeding unconstitutional — a “runaround” to avoid a criminal case. Judge Ericksen wasn’t buying it, though she left the door open for those arguments to be raised again as the case develops. The constitutional questions will be fully litigated in real time. That’s fine. That’s exactly what appellate courts are for.
What Thursday established is simpler: the ATRC works, the first case survived its first challenge, and a woman accused of helping plan an Election Day massacre is in custody in Washington D.C.
Congress built the court. Trump finally used it. Now it’s the left’s turn to explain why it shouldn’t exist.
The One Guest At Dolly Parton's Funeral No One Expected
When the world lost an irreplaceable icon, the entire globe stopped to mourn. Yet, behind the scenes, away from the glittering lights and the massive stadium farewells, a deeply personal and shockingly quiet goodbye was taking place. The Queen of Country had meticulously planned her own farewell, dictating exactly who was allowed inside the room. But when the guest list was finally revealed, one specific name left the public absolutely stunned. Who was the unexpected guest, and what does it reveal about the beloved star's final days? Read the full breakdown below and find the complete video analysis at the end of this article.
1. A World in Mourning: The Tributes Pour In
The video begins by painting a picture of the overwhelming global grief following Dolly Parton's passing in August 2026. The tributes were historic. From Paul McCartney to Seth MacFarlane, and from world leaders to ordinary fans, everyone agreed that the world had lost someone truly irreplaceable. President Donald Trump even ordered American flags to be flown at half-staff nationwide for an entire week—an unprecedented honor for a country singer, proving just how deeply her philanthropy and universal kindness had impacted the nation.
2. The Quiet Goodbye: Planned to Perfection
Contrary to the massive public outpourings of grief, Dolly’s actual farewell was intensely private. According to the video, Dolly had been planning her own funeral for years to ensure her loved ones wouldn't be burdened with decisions. She explicitly requested to be buried in a comfortable cotton dress and her signature high heels, resting beside her husband of 59 years, Carl Dean, who had passed away just 17 months prior. She requested no massive public service, asking instead that fans donate to her Imagination Library to give children the gift of reading. The actual funeral room in Nashville was strictly reserved for "immediate family only."
3. The Unexpected Guest: A Chosen Family
The climax of the story revolves around the strict "immediate family only" guest list. Sibling, nieces, and nephews were there, but the world was shocked to learn that pop star Miley Cyrus was also invited into that sacred, private room.
While many knew Dolly as Miley’s "honorary godmother," the video reveals the profound depth of their bond. From faxing love notes to discovering they were actual blood relatives (seventh cousins, once removed), Dolly viewed Miley not as a celebrity connection, but as true family. Dolly’s decision to include Miley in her final moments perfectly encapsulated her life's philosophy: she refused to categorize people, choosing genuine love and deep relationships over industry reputation.

Canada’s PM HITS Trump Where It Hurts After Bizarre "Lake America" Stunt!
Is the United States losing its grip on its closest neighbor? A fiery new breakdown exposes how Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just delivered a humiliating, public takedown of Donald Trump. After Trump launched a series of bizarre stunts and tariff threats, Canada’s leadership is no longer playing nice. From brutal fact-checks to devastating poll numbers, the administration’s bullying tactics are backfiring spectacularly. Read the full breakdown below and find the complete video analysis at the end of this article.
1. The Absurd "Lake America" Rebrand
The conflict escalated when Donald Trump announced a ridiculous new stunt: a plan to unilaterally rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America." Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney didn't hold back, delivering a swift and classy historical takedown. Carney publicly reminded Trump that the name "Ontario" originates from the Indigenous Wendat word meaning "beautiful, big lake"—a name that predates both the Canadian Confederation and the US Declaration of Independence by over 400 years. Carney firmly stated that Canadians will continue to "name reality," completely dismissing Trump's childish attempt to overwrite international geography.
2. The Humiliating "Icebreaker" Fact-Check
The embarrassment didn't stop at geography. During a press conference, Trump attempted to flex American naval superiority by boasting that the US was "building 11 new icebreakers." Prime Minister Carney immediately dismantled the claim on live television. With a smirk, Carney pointed out that the United States currently has, generously, one functioning icebreaker, while Canada proudly operates a fleet of 20 best-in-class icebreakers. The contrast between Trump’s empty bragging and Canada's actual maritime dominance left the former president looking completely out of touch with reality.
3. Devastating Polls: A Tale of Two Leaders
Perhaps the most damaging blow to Trump is the stark contrast in political reality. The video highlights how Trump’s aggressive tariff policies against Canada are destroying his popularity at home. Recent polls show Trump drowning with a dismal -21 net approval rating, with voters rejecting his tariff policies by a staggering 60-point margin (underwater). In sharp contrast, Prime Minister Carney is riding high with a +18 net approval rating in Canada. The data proves that while Trump tries to project strength by treating Canada like a subordinate US state, his bullying is only uniting Canadians while alienating his own base.

WHOA! World Leaders JUST DID What TRUMP FEARED MOST…
WHOA! World Leaders JUST DID What TRUMP FEARED MOST…
World leaders are publicly turning their backs on the United States in a way we have never seen before. From calling out blatant lies on the global stage to actively abandoning reliance on US defense, the international community is signaling a massive geopolitical shift. Are America's closest allies walking away for good while adversaries exploit the chaos? The truth is unraveling fast. Read the full breakdown below and find the complete video analysis at the end of this article.
1. Allies Call Out the "De-Mined" Hormuz Lie
The administration’s credibility took a massive blow on the global stage when US allies publicly contradicted Donald Trump’s claims regarding the Strait of Hormuz. While Trump went on a podcast asserting that the US Navy had completely cleared the strait of mines, Bloomberg reported that top US allies strongly disagree. Officials estimate that between 80 to 150 mines still remain in the critical waterway, leading international leaders to openly accuse the administration of fabricating success while global shipping routes remain in extreme danger.
2. A Global Military Pivot: Europe and Asia Panic
The prolonged conflict in the Middle East is rapidly draining American weapon stockpiles, and traditional allies are hitting the panic button. According to reports from Politico and the Washington Post, nations like Australia, Japan, and South Korea are deeply alarmed that dwindling US supplies—especially critical interceptors like Patriot missiles—will leave them completely exposed to rising threats from China and North Korea.
The fear of US unreliability has grown so severe that Germany announced it is exploring deeper nuclear cooperation with Britain and France to reduce dependence on the American security umbrella. Meanwhile, France is actively pushing the European Union to steer a massive 60 billion euro defense package exclusively toward European defense manufacturers, freezing American suppliers out entirely.
3. Adversaries Call the Bluff: Hacks and Escalations
While alliances fracture, foreign adversaries are openly mocking Washington's threats. Immediately following a surprise visit by CIA Director John Ratcliffe to Moscow to warn Russia to stay away from NATO, Vladimir Putin responded by launching a massive cyber-attack against Norway and intensifying missile strikes on Ukraine.
Simultaneously, DOJ disclosures revealed that China-linked hackers breached sensitive US government networks, including NASA, the Federal Reserve, and the Senate. To make matters worse, Iran's foreign ministry openly mocked the operational fatigue of the US military, highlighting that the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln had to be diverted for crew rest and recreation after spending over 200 grueling days at sea without a port call.

BREAKING: Dolly Parton’s Cause Of Death Revealed: ‘Brief Battle’
Dolly Parton’s death came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives revealed Tuesday.
The country music legend died Aug. 25 at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville. She was 80.
Parton had been admitted to the cancer center Friday, four days before her death. Her representatives confirmed the cancer diagnosis in a statement to PEOPLE but did not disclose what type she had.
“Our beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched. Her unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand,” the statement read.
“Whether it be the hundreds of millions of books donated through her invaluable Imagination Library or funding research that helped create a lifesaving vaccine used around the world, Dolly’s unconditional love for all people was the guiding force for her lasting impact. After bravely facing a brief battle with cancer, Dolly departed her Earthly life today at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center surrounded by loved ones,” the statement concluded.
The “Jolene” singer had also been dealing with kidney and autoimmune issues before her death, PEOPLE previously reported.
Just days earlier, Dolly Parton opened up about her declining health and acknowledged that she had put off addressing some medical issues while caring for her husband, Carl.
“As I’ve shared in video messages throughout the past year, I am dealing with some health issues that I just didn’t pay attention to when I was watching over [my husband] Carl. You know, this isn’t the first time I’ve had to manage something like this. Back in the early ’80s, I was down for several months with female issues, and I was struggling with my weight at the time too, so it’s not like I haven’t been through hard times with my health,” Parton told PEOPLE.
Her nephew, Bryan Seaver, announced her death in an Instagram video Tuesday on behalf of the Parton and Owens family.
“My name is Bryan Seaver, son of Cassie Parton, and I’m representing the Parton and Owens family today announcing the passing of my aunt, Dolly Rebecca Parton Dean, Sister, Sis and Granny to one generation and Gigi to the next,” he says in the video.
Seaver, who served as Parton’s head of security for more than two decades, said she had asked him years earlier to deliver the announcement.
“This video announcement is something Dolly asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality,” he continued. “As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it until now.”
Seaver said the moment brought immense pride and heartbreak, but he took comfort in his faith that Parton had been reunited with Carl and other loved ones.
Seaver added: “It is an honor, an honor that is mixed with absolute pride and great sadness. But sadness lies with us, not with Dolly. Dolly has lived in the light and is in the arms of Jesus, surely met by Carl, her parents and countless othe
