7-Year-Old Boy Predicts His Own Murder: ‘Mama Is Going to Kill me’

Seven-year-old Nathaniel Burton was a vibrant boy whose tragic end came at the hands of those meant to protect him, yet he seemed to carry a heavy, unspoken intuition about his own fate.

In the months leading up to the 2021 tragedy, the young boy made chilling pleas for help that haunt the community to this day.

Despite these heartbreakingly accurate predictions and multiple reports to social services, Nathaniel’s cries for intervention went unanswered until it was far too late. Get the full story on this episode of Law&Crime Investigates.


Illegal immigrants from Africa, India and China are voting in US elections — here’s how they’re doing it

Illegal immigrants are voting in US elections.

A Mauritanian illegal immigrant marked for deportation since 2002 has continued to live in the US and is a registered Democrat who voted in every election since 2008, authorities claim.

Mahady Sacko, 50, who goes by the nickname “Sacko Scorpion,” was busted last week in Philadelphia for allegedly falsely claiming citizenship to cast a 2024 ballot.

He was picked up in a joint operation between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the FBI who charge he “falsely represented that he was a US citizen in order to vote and register to vote” in the last preidential election, according to a press release.

Sacko denied the charges when called by The Post, claiming: “Everything is a lie! They are lying about me!” before hanging up. He has yet to enter a plea in his case.

As the issue of election security ramps up in Congress with the SAVE act, Sacko’s arrest was one of nearly a dozen uncovered by The Post of non-citizens allegedly voting in US elections, sometimes for decades, with many remaining listed as active voters on state rolls, even after their convictions.

“The reality is aliens are voting in American elections,” J. Christian Adams, president of Public Interest Legal Foundation, who has spent decades working on election integrity told The Post, noting no one is quite sure how widespread the problem is.

There were about 14 million people who are in the country legally but who are not citizens in 2023, according to the Pew Research center. While they may have work permits and visas, they can’t vote.

“It’s way worse than the left says, but it’s way better than some others say,” he added.

Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, stands out for disastrous alien voter registration, said Adams.

The Keystone State has admitted a glitch in its “motor voter” program, which registers voters at the DMV, inadvertently has allowed approximately 100,000 non-citizens to register to vote, though some state officials dispute this number.

Another Pennsylvania voter, Indian citizen Kaushalkumar Patel, 47, of Allentown will stand trial this month for allegedly voting illegally in the 2020 election in Penn.


Gallup finds many Americans are making financial trade-offs to pay for health care

Health care costs are influencing how many Americans manage their money — and in some cases, the choices they make about their future.

According to new research from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America, roughly one-third of U.S. adults say they have had to make at least one financial trade-off in their daily lives to afford health care.

That represents more than 82 million people nationwide. 

The findings come from two surveys conducted by Gallup in partnership with West Health.

The first survey took place between June and August 2025 and included nearly 20,000 adults from all 50 states and Washington, D.C.

Participants were recruited using address-based sampling and Gallup’s probability-based national panel. The surveys were conducted online and weighted to reflect the demographics of the U.S. adult population.

A second study focused on how health care costs affect life decisions.

That survey was conducted from October to December 2025 and included 5,660 adults who are members of the Gallup Panel. Some respondents completed the survey online, while others returned printed questionnaires by mail. 

Together, the two surveys provide a detailed look at how Americans experience the financial side of health care

The research highlights how widespread the financial impact of health care has become.

Overall, over 33% said they have made one or more than one trade-off in the last 12 months to pay for health care expenses. 

The sacrifices people reported making vary widely. Some respondents said they cut back on everyday expenses like utilities (9%) or driving less to save on gas (11%). Others said they stretched their prescription medications (15%) or borrowed money to help pay medical bills (15%). 

While financial pressure is most common among people without health insurance, the data suggests the issue is not limited to that group.

For those without insurance, 62% report making at least one sacrifice to cover medical costs. Even among people with insurance, close to three in ten say they’ve made similar adjustments.

Even many insured and middle-income households report making sacrifices to keep up with medical costs. 

Health care expenses are also influencing long-term planning.

About 9% of adults say they postponed retirement due to health care costs, while 18% delayed changing jobs, and 14% postponed buying a home. Smaller shares say they put off starting or expanding a family. ….



Severe Monkeypox Clade 1 Detected in New York City

New York City Monkeypox Clade I
New York City Monkeypox Clade I

The case is the twelfth clade 1 diagnosis in America.

Medical professionals have said that clade 1 “is more likely to cause severe illness and death, especially in people who are immunocompromised.”

Weirdly enough, there’s not that much information out there about this case.

The New York Post stated the infected person recently traveled internationally:

The case of “mpox clade I” is travel-related, with the person who tested positive having recently traveled internationally, the city Department of Health announced Friday.

“There is no known local transmission of mpox clade I in New York City and the risk remains low for New Yorkers,” Health Commissioner Dr. Alister Martin said in a statement.

“The NYC Health Department recommends that New Yorkers who are at risk for mpox receive and complete the two-dose vaccine series that works to prevent mpox.”

Why aren’t the NYC media and health officials freaking out, given that the city had an outbreak a few years ago?

Oh, yeah. Those at highest risk are people who “have sex with men and identify as male, trans, nonbinary, genderqueer or gender non-conforming.”

It seems Sweden had the first clade 1 case outside of Africa in August 2024.

California had the first clade 1 case in America in November 2024.


No, Republicans Don’t Need To ‘Change’ The Senate Rules To Pass The SAVE America Act

The Senate is set to bring the SAVE America Act to the floor this week, and the impending action has prompted corporate media to deploy deceptive talking points about upper chamber rules.

The election integrity measure, whose key components on voter ID and proof of citizenship are widely popular with Republican, independent, and Democrat voters, has faced a headwind of false narratives since its introduction.

Now some members of the propaganda press are misleading readers about what it would take to pass the legislation, with several outlets framing the issue as though Republicans would need to “change” Senate rules in order to pass the bill with a simple majority (which would likely be the only way the legislation is passed).

The Hill’s Jared Gans wrote that “Trump and conservatives in Congress have pushed for Republicans to change Senate rules to implement a ‘talking filibuster.’”

The Washington Post claimed the legislation “faces unified opposition from Democrats, meaning that the Senate can’t pass it unless Republicans change the rules and eliminate the filibuster.”

NBC News’ Sahil Kapur and Frank Thorp V reported that “years ago, Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., explored the possibility of using a ‘talking filibuster’ when Democrats were in charge of the Senate and frustrated by relentless Republican filibusters. He eventually concluded that it wasn’t feasible to get around the 60-vote threshold without changing the Senate rules.”

But Rachel Bovard, vice president of programs at Conservative Partnership Institute, told The Federalist that that portrayal fundamentally misunderstands how Senate procedure works.

“So everything in the Senate prior to cloture being filed on it is at simple majority,” Bovard told The Federalist. “What a filibuster is, is you’re forcing them to actually come physically delay the vote.”

At that point, she explained, there are two ways to end that delay.

One option is filing cloture, which requires 60 votes under Senate Rule 22 to cut off debate. The other is to force senators of the minority to hold the floor continuously and keep talking. That’s what is known as the talking filibuster.

“I think a lot of reporters and a lot of Americans think bills pass at 60 votes. Every bill passes the Senate with a simple majority; it’s just a question of how you break the filibuster,” Bovard explained.

“You can either do it mechanically under the Senate’s Rule 22 by invoking cloture at 60 votes, or you can break a filibuster by physical exhaustion [a talking filibuster]. Either way, bills always pass at simple majority once the filibuster has been broken.”….

New York GOP backs Paladino in fight over ‘Islamophobic’ remarks

The New York Republican Party is backing embattled New York City Councilwoman Vickie Palladino’s legal fight against democrats over claims she violated ethics laws by making “Islamophobic” statements. 

In a statement, New York State Republican Party chairman Ed Cox said the party “stands unequivocally” with Paladino “in her fight against the radical New York City Council’s political and vindictive charges.” 

“Islamophobia’ is a term used to browbeat the weak into submission to distract from the very real threat of Islamic extremism,” Cox said. “Vickie Paladino is not weak – hers is a powerful voice for truth and moral clarity in an era when too many Democrats – especially Zohran Mamdani and his wife – make common cause with radical Islamic terrorists.”  

Two weeks ago, the City Council’s standards and ethics committee voted to charge Paladino for remarks she’s made on social media over the past few months, criticizing newly appointed members of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration. 

Council Speaker Julie Menin, a Democrat, called for the ethics committee vote, describing Paladino’s comments as “unacceptable and deeply Islamophobic.” 

Paladino blasted the ethics committee’s vote as “politically motivated” and filed a preemptive lawsuit last week seeking to block the council from taking a final vote on the committee’s recommendations to censure her.

A state Superior Court judge denied Paladino’s request for a temporary restraining order, but set a hearing for early April to consider the legal challenge….


EXCLUSIVE: DHS Calls on Fairfax County to Honor ICE Detainer Following Allegations an Illegal Alien Groped Female Students

Multiple parents in Fairfax County, Virginia, say a man groped their daughters in crowded school hallways.

Now, the Department of Homeland Security is asking “Virginia sanctuary politicians” to not allow the alleged perpetrator, who is an illegal alien, back into the community.

Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz is from El Salvador. He illegally entered the United States in 2024 and was released, according to DHS. He is in 11th grade at Fairfax High School just outside Washington, D.C.

“This 19-year-old should NOT have been attending a Virginia high school and allowed to prey on innocent teenage girls,” DHS Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “This is yet another example of the Biden administration’s failed open border policies.”

Flores-Ortiz now faces nine counts of assault and battery.

The charges against Ortiz follow accusations from multiple female students that Ortiz walked up behind them and placed his hand between their legs, moving it from front to back, 7News’ Nick Minock reports.

“There’s a group of about 12 individuals that have reported this assault,” a mother of one of the victims exclusively told 7News.

“It was all perpetrated by a single individual who is a stranger to the girls. He just sneakily walked up behind them and put his hand in between their legs. It was not just a butt smack or a butt grab. It was a groping of a private area,” the mother said, adding that the groping had been happening for several months….

Trump Takes Question After Question From Reporters On War With Iran, Strait Of Hormuz


Iran Terrorism

The Iran conflict is shaping a new geopolitical dynamic even beyond the Middle East.

Iran isn’t just a direct threat to its neighbors and western interests, but for decades it’s also paid for and coordinated an alarming number of attacks launched by terrorist groups throughout the region, including against Americans.

Few know more about the carnage Iran is responsible for and how it’s become the powder keg we know today than former U.S. Ambassador David Hale, he is with the Wilson Center, a nonpartisan think tank.


Minneapolis Fraud: Part 2

With the notorious theft of taxpayer dollars in Minnesota that you’ve heard so much about.

The web of fraud that’s taken place, largely by residents from Somalia, siphoned billions from programs meant to help the vulnerable.

But years before the national headlines, insiders were sounding the alarm about a system primed for abuse on a wide scale.

Today, we hear from one of those whistleblowers. Then, how the crackdown has rippled through Minnesota’s Somali community.


Why the US Navy Rushed USS Tripoli to the Strait of Hormuz

The US Navy broke 90% of Iran’s military equation. Sixty warships destroyed. Missile factories in rubble. Two carrier strike groups hold the perimeter. But Hormuz is still closed — because the last 10% only needs one burning tanker to shut down the world’s most critical shipping lane.

So why is the Pentagon rushing a ship that analysts once dismissed as a “failed experiment” — USS Tripoli, LHA-7 — through the South China Sea at high speed? What can 2,500 Marines do that 50,000 sailors and two supercarriers could not?


Former substitute teacher and boyfriend face 38 child sex charges as bond nears 9 million

Madison Paige Jones, a former substitute teacher in the Midlothian Independent School District, and her boyfriend Zackery Dondlinger were first arrested in December after Midlothian police launched an investigation into allegations involving a 5-year-old child who lived in Jones’ home.

Jones’ bond was initially set at $90,000 and Dondlinger’s initially reported at $250,000, but after the additional charges were filed earlier this month, their bonds increased dramatically.

Jones faces 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, one count of possession of child pornography, two counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact and three counts of indecency with a child involving exposure.

Dondlinger faces one count of sexual performance by a child under the age of 14, 13 counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child, two counts of indecency with a child involving sexual contact, three counts of indecency with a child involving exposure and one felony warrant.

Dondlinger’s bond is now set at $5 million, while Jones’ bond stands at $3.8 million.

NBC affiliate NewsChannel10 in Amarillo reported that court documents show Midlothian police were called to the home of a woman on Dec. 17 who identified herself as a friend of Jones.

The woman told officers she was concerned about Dondlinger’s behavior toward a 5-year-old child who lived in Jones’ home. Jones and Dondlinger were in a relationship at the time.

According to the documents, Jones allegedly told investigators Dondlinger directed her to sexually assault the child and that she carried out the acts. The documents also state that Jones told authorities Dondlinger had sexual fantasies involving the child.

Affidavits obtained by the station say Jones described the sexual acts to investigators and told police she recorded videos of the abuse and sent them to Dondlinger through Snapchat…..


New terror group with reported Iran ties claims 4 attacks across Europe

A new terrorist group with suspected links to the Iranian regime emerged in Europe last week. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right) has claimed responsibility for four attacks on Jewish targets across the continent.

A synagogue in Liège, Belgium, was the first target of an explosive attack on Monday. An arson attack on a Rotterdam synagogue followed overnight on Friday and an explosive device was set off at a Jewish school in Amsterdam the next evening.

Several sources have linked an additional attack at a Jewish site in Greece on Wednesday with the group, though no specifics were given about the target or method of attack.

Joe Truzman, senior research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and editor of the FDD’s Long War Journal, told Fox News Digital that when he saw the statement from the organization following their Monday attack, he “thought it was a little bit amateurish.” Truzman said that after videos from the group became to emerge, he “realized that there’s probably something more here to this organization.”

He said that the war in Iran has likely “compelled the group, for whoever is behind this, to start launching these attacks.” Truzman said he “suspect[s] this organization is being directed” and that there is “an entity behind it.” 

Truzman says he suspects the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) itself, which he says “has been active in Europe” and has “attempted to eliminate or assassinate dissidents.” Though he does not discount them being entity of an Iraqi militia group….


Texas rare-earth project aims to curb US reliance on China, strengthen national security

Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham joined FOX Business’ Maria Bartiromo on “Mornings with Maria,” Monday to discuss how development of the Round Top rare-earth deposit could help strengthen U.S. national security while generating billions of dollars in revenue for Texas public schools.

Round Top, located in West Texas, is considered one of the richest known deposits of heavy rare-earth minerals in North America. These materials are essential for defense systems, semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. The project has drawn increasing attention as the U.S. looks to challenge China’s long-standing dominance of the global rare-earth supply chain.

Buckingham said the state’s mineral resources could play a key role in reshaping that balance while delivering economic benefits in Texas.

“There are 17 rare-earth minerals. We have 15… We’re heavy in the heavies. Those are the really important ones,” Buckingham said, “It’s going to be billions of dollars into public education… We’re breaking China’s stronghold on this market. We are making Texas safer.”

As exploration expands across the region, officials are also focusing on the infrastructure needed to process the minerals domestically.

“We have lots of rare-earth minerals all over the region. We are looking at those deposits right now,” Buckingham said, “It’s going to be billions of dollars to the schoolchildren of Texas, and it’s going to make the United States and the whole world safer.”
