A bombshell report from Fox News Digital alleges that Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) real name is not “Ilhan Omar,” but rather “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” the name federal officials used to refer to the Somali-born congresswoman in a recent court filing.
“Ilhan Omar is not the ‘real name’ of the Minnesota congresswoman, Fox News Digital has learned,” Fox News Digital’s Peter D’Abrosca reports. “Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, according to two people familiar with the ongoing investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman, including a law enforcement source.”
The sources who spoke to Fox News Digital claim they have insider knowledge of the federal immigration probe into Omar that saw her Washington, DC, home raided by agents last week.
In particular, the sources alleged to Fox News Digital that Omar has lived under an alias in the United States and that she actually shares the same last name as her ex-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi — apparently making him Omar’s brother.
At a rally Thursday evening, President Donald Trump mentioned a recent court filing from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro that referred to Omar as “Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) – The chief of New Zealand’s military, Air Marshal Tony Davies, resigned Friday after admitting to an inappropriate relationship as a unit leader.
“I regret not disclosing this when I had the opportunity to do so,” Davies said in his statement. He didn’t elaborate on the circumstances of the relationship or when it happened.
Davies joined the country´s Air Force in 1984 and became chief of the New Zealand Defence Force in 2024. The military said leadership was transitioning to its vice chief, Rear Admiral Mat Williams.
“The resignation is for personal reasons, and results from errors of judgement made by me in the past, for which I am taking responsibility,” Davies said. “The errors of judgement were contrary to the values of the Defence Force.”

Hallucinations are no laughing matter. Well, sometimes they can be.
Al Michaels, the 81-year-old play-by-play man for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime, an absolute legend and future broadcast Hall of Famer, called something on a play during the Bears-Patriots game that didn’t happen.
About midway through the first quarter, New England quarterback Drake Maye handed off to Patriots running back Corey Kiner, who, after avoiding a hit from Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson, was rocked by defensive tackle Kentavius Street.
Kiner then became the middleman in a tug-of-war between the Patriots offensive line and the Bears defense, as both sides tried to push him forward and backward at the same time.
Michaels, who seemed a little flummoxed by the action, mysteriously said Kiner fumbled.
"And the ball comes out," Michaels said. "The ball comes out this time from Corey Kiner."
The only problem? The ball had not come out.

If you want to know why Hollywood and Democrats are lobbying so hard and so dishonestly against AI, look no further than the fact that YouTube has completely conquered TV.
Old people like me think of YouTube as this InterWebDotNet site where you watch classic clips of Johnny Carson or George Carlin on your phone or desktop computer. What we must wrap our minds around is the fact that people are not only watching YouTube on their television sets; YouTube has basically conquered TV.
Currently, according to the latest Nielsen study, 15.8 percent of all television viewing was dedicated to YouTube.
That might not sound like much, but second-place Netflix accounted for less than half of that with 7.7 percent.
The deeper you dig, the more interesting it gets…
In August of 2026, cable TV viewing accounted for only 18.9 percent of television time. That is all of cable. That is every channel on cable. Only 18.9 percent, while YouTube alone accounted for nearly as much, at 15.8 percent.
In August of 2026, broadcast TV accounted for 17.5 percent of viewing. That's all of broadcast TV. That's every network and
A newborn was surrendered to a Safe Haven Baby Box in Knoxville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, the third baby surrendered to that location since it opened in February 2023.
Knoxville Fire Department Captain Tim Woods confirmed the first two infants surrendered at the Knoxville Fire Department’s Station 17 have since been adopted. The third baby was surrendered on Oct. 20, WBIR reported.
“You can’t think of what a parent’s decision is to surrender a baby,” Woods said. “So, you know, to have this option … you’re outside looking in, you’re thankful … thanks for giving the baby a chance.”
The Knoxville area has three baby box locations, and a fourth is planned for the Burlington Fire Station near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue and Holston Drive, Woods said.
“It’s not an easy decision for anyone to make,” he said. “But … we have these boxes, and they’re putting more and more boxes out, and that is to prevent tragedies.”
Baby boxes were created to deter parents from abandoning their newborns, potentially leaving them to die. Baby boxes are temperature-controlled incubators often built into exterior walls
During the riots in Milan last weekend, one of the masked youths flipped off a priest, who responded by returning the gesture. The moment was caught on video and quickly went viral on social media.
“Here’s what happened,” Father Giannicola Maria Simone told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. “As these youths were passing by, one of them gave me the middle finger. They’re just kids, so it doesn’t surprise me. I responded with a middle finger of my own.”

Father Giannicola, who was observing the scene on the steps outside of the Church of Sant’Alessandro di Zebedia in Milan, explained that tourists fleeing the masked mob had rushed into the church.
“I was inside the church, watching what was unfolding,” he said. “Many people were fleeing the rioters, so I let them all in. They weren’t churchgoers — just tourists and other passersby. They stayed here until the chaos had passed.”
The priest, a Milan native, added
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson has been charged with having marijuana in his possession by police in Carmel, Indiana.
In a charge officially filed on October 19, Richardson faces a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession, FOX59/CBS4 reports.
“Officers conducted a traffic stop on Oct. 12 on a black 2023 Dodge Charger that was passing through the area of Springmill Boulevard and Silver Stream Drive,” FOX 59 reports. “Police noted in court documents that the vehicle's registration was reportedly assigned to a different vehicle and had expired.
“Police said the vehicle complied and pulled over to the side of the road. The officer recalled immediately smelling the ‘odor of marijuana’ when approaching the vehicle, according to court documents.”
That odor prompted the officer to question Richardson about whether he had smoked marijuana in the vehicle. The former Florida Gator admitted that he had and also confessed to the presence of a small amount of marijuana still in the vehicle.
Richardson says he chose to smoke in his car to avoid smoking near his children.
Officers then placed the fourth-year NFL vet in handcuffs while searching the vehicle. The search yielded “a small mason jar containing a substance believed
President Trump made his feelings known about LeBron James’ antics during the national anthem, and James has now responded.
When asked about Trump’s comments after Thursday night’s victory over the Cavaliers, including the commander-in-chief’s claim that he owes an apology to our country’s servicemen and women for his behavior, James was unimpressed.
"It's a slow news day at the office, you know," James said. "Slow news day in the office."

Trump’s criticism stemmed from James swinging his arms in a golf swing motion during Wednesday night’s NBA season opener between the New York Knicks and James’ 76ers.
“While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag, and all that our Country stands for!"
On Thursday night, James was far less demonstrative during the anthem, though it’s unclear if that was in response to Trump.

Local authorities in Tehran, Iran, erected an art display this week in which an actor depicting President Donald Trump is placed in a cage hanging above a public square, performing President Trump's signature dance and eliciting jeers from passersby.
The art installation appears to be the latest outrageous street propaganda debuting in Iran's capital to condemn the ongoing conflict between America and Iran. Iranian officials regularly adorn the streets of Tehran with images of Trump dead, calls for his demise, and other incendiary rhetoric.
Iranian authorities have been openly calling for Trump's killing, and sometimes his arrest, since the U.S. government eliminated terror mastermind Maj. Gen. Qasem Soleimani in January 2020.
The caged Trump appears above Tajrish Square, displayed to allow residents to interact with it as well as take photographs with the actor from afar. A caption sign by the cage reportedly reads, "it is a crime not to see this scene." The actor playing Trump is wearing a large red tie and heavy makeup to simulate the president's face and hair. He reportedly paces around and occasionally performs the Trump dance.
