Trump jokes that Biden turkey pardon in 2024 ‘invalid’ due to autopen

President Donald Trump pardoned a pair of turkeys at the White House on Tuesday, going on to joke that former President Joe Biden’s turkey pardons last year were ‘null and void’ because he used an autopen.

Trump made the joke while carrying out the decades-long White House Thanksgiving tradition, this year pardoning ‘Gobble’ and ‘Waddle.’ The crowd laughed as Trump said he saved last year’s turkeys, ‘Peach’ and ‘Blossom’ from being carved up after the nullification of Biden’s pardons.

‘I wanted to make an important announcement. Because you remember last year, after a thorough and very rigorous investigation by [Attorney General] Pam Bondi and all of the people at Department of Justice, the FBI, the CIA, and the White House Counsel’s Office…I have determined that last year’s turkey pardons are totally invalid,’ Trump said.

‘Null and void,’ Trump said of the pardons. ‘The turkeys known as Peach and Blossom last year have been located, and they were on their way to be processed, in other words, to be killed. But I’ve stopped that journey, and I am officially pardoning them. And they will not be served for Thanksgiving dinner. We saved them in the nick of time.’

This year’s turkeys, ‘Waddle’ and ‘Gobble,’ are the largest turkeys ever to receive a presidential pardon, Trump said. Both of the birds weigh over 50 pounds.

A National Turkey Federation spokeswoman told reporters at the White House that after Waddle and Gobble are pardoned, they will move to North Carolina State University, where they will serve as ‘Turkey ambassadors for our industry.’

First lady Melania Trump held a poll on X to name this year’s turkeys, resulting in Waddle and Gobble.

Last year’s pardoned turkeys, the aforementioned Peach and Blossom, and the ones before them, ‘Liberty’ and ‘Bell,’ all came from Minnesota.

North Carolina, Indiana, Iowa, South Dakota, Ohio, California, Virginia and Missouri have all sent turkeys to the White House.

Republicans try to quash concerns of more exits following Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise resignation

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s surprise resignation from Congress stunned House Republicans and sets up an even tighter majority in the lower chamber that could foil major legislative priorities.

Whether it triggers a ripple effect of Republican lawmakers following her lead remains to be seen. Still, there are members of the House GOP who are frustrated by how events have unfolded in recent months, especially after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., opted to keep the House in session for over 50 days during the government shutdown.

Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital he’s ‘heard rumors’ of frustration among his colleagues but, from people he’s spoken with, ‘They’re committed to being here.’

‘This is an incredible honor to serve in the House of Representatives, and when you run for office, I think you should fill out your term,’ Haridopolos said.

‘This is what the American public wanted,’ he continued. ‘I mean, they affirmatively put Republicans in power. And the only frustration we’ve been through, at least my biggest frustration, is when the Democrats exercise their power to shut the government down for 43 days.’

Greene, in her resignation letter teeing up her departure from Congress Jan. 5, 2026, aired grievances about how little progress has been made on Capitol Hill since she became a lawmaker in 2021.

She also took aim at President Donald Trump, who she has for weeks been distancing herself from despite being a die-hard Trump loyalist for much of her legislative career, and at Johnson for his handling of the shutdown.

‘During the longest shutdown in our nation’s history, I raged against my own speaker and my own party for refusing to proactively work diligently to pass a plan to save American healthcare and protect Americans from outrageous overpriced and unaffordable health insurance policies,’ Greene said. ‘The House should have been in session working every day to fix this disaster, but instead America was forced fed disgusting political drama once again from both sides of the aisle.’

Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, the fifth highest-ranking House Republican, sought to quash any rumors of dissent among the ranks in a statement to Fox News Digital.

‘Speaker Johnson and the House Republican leadership team have made a diligent effort to listen to all members of the conference for input, policy ideas and concerns,’ he said. ‘As usual, the media is building a negative narrative, but our record of delivering for the American people with our majority this year speaks to our teamwork and unity.’

That majority is now headed for a tenuous situation with Greene’s retirement.

Though Republicans are expected to maintain a seat after former Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., retired, the special election to replace the late former Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Texas, is expected to stay in Democratic control, effectively nullifying the results.

That means when Greene leaves, and if the results in Tennessee in December favor Republicans, Democrats are hoping for a miracle in the race. The results in Texas in late January favor Democrats, so the GOP would be left with effectively a two-vote majority.

Another lawmaker was tempted to exit the House for a different reason.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., was furious over the White House’s 28-point plan for Russia and Ukraine and told Fox News Digital that he found it ‘so appalling, so embarrassing.’

Bacon argued that the plan, which has broadly been viewed as giving Moscow much of what it wants and leaves Ukraine with little other than an end to the ongoing war, was ‘a recipe for Ukraine being abused for decades to come, and to be basically a vassal state under Russian control. And that was unacceptable.’

His preference is that if Ukraine is pushed to give up territory to Russia, it should be allowed to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at the very least.

He noted that he ran on a pro-Ukraine platform, and, for a moment, considered resigning, fast-tracking his planned retirement from Congress at the end of next year.

‘I was so frustrated, it went through my mind,’ Bacon said. ‘You know, I don’t want to be a part of this team, frankly, but I don’t — I knew it was wrong. It was short-lived.

‘I think people would be doing a disservice to a lot of people just to resign,’ he continued. ‘I frankly think you should only resign if you got, like, an illness, or your spouse has an illness, or you got a legal issue. You know, when you run, there’s a commitment.’

FBI nabs Florida man with alleged plan to livestream neo-Nazi terror attack; graphic Signal messages recovered

A Florida man was arrested after an FBI investigation linked him to multiple extremist group chats on the encrypted messaging app Signal, where agents claim he used aliases to share disturbing graphic messages, detailed instructions for explosives and violent neo-Nazi propaganda.

Lucas Alexander Temple, 20, is facing federal charges for distribution of information regarding the manufacturing or use of explosives and possession of an unregistered short-barreled shotgun, according to court documents.

According to criminal complaints, Temple shared a hand-drawn diagram of a homemade detonator, linked to YouTube videos describing how to synthesize dynamite and construct blasting caps, and posted a 122-page extremist manual filled with White supremacist rhetoric. 

Investigators said the chats also included graphic discussions promoting rape, torture and murder, including the killing of non-White children.

Screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Temple’s aliases included phrases like, ‘How long would it take to rape a femboy to death?’ and discussions about sexually assaulting men.

Temple’s online aliases were linked to his true identity through personal details shared in chats — including his age, job at a grocery store and a family museum visit — and were verified with state records and security footage, according to the complaint.

While executing a search warrant at Temple’s home on Thursday, FBI agents found neo-Nazi propaganda, a book related to Columbine High School shooters Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris and a Springfield Model 67 Series E shotgun with a barrel shorter than 18 inches.

The barrel was allegedly sawed off and found in a separate area by investigators.

ATF records confirmed Temple was not registered to have the weapon.

Agents also found a handwritten note that said, ‘Plans: Wear body cams for livestream. Notify friends of livestream. Put flags on car. Play music on car speakers during operation. Place motion-activated bombs in doorways (for cops).’

During his initial court appearance, Magistrate Judge Amanda Arnold Sansone ordered that he remain detained pending trial, finding he posed a serious danger to others.

US envoy gave Russian aide tips on how to sell Ukraine deal to Trump: report

U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff gave a senior Kremlin official tips on how to sell a Ukraine peace deal to President Donald Trump, a report said.

Witkoff spoke by phone to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov on Oct. 14, advising him on how Putin should bring up the topic with the U.S. president, according to Bloomberg.

‘We put a 20-point Trump plan together that was 20 points for peace, and I’m thinking maybe we do the same thing with you,’ Witkoff was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, in reference to the Trump administration’s Gaza peace deal.

During the phone call, which lasted about five minutes, Witkoff said he had a deep respect for Putin and that he had informed Trump that he believed Russia has always wanted a peace deal for Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.

Witkoff mentioned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was visiting the White House in mid-October and that Putin could speak to Trump ahead of that meeting, the report added.

‘Zelenskyy is coming to the White House on Friday,’ Witkoff said, according to a recording of the phone call obtained by Bloomberg. ‘I will go to that because they want me there, but I think, if possible, we have the call with your boss before that Friday meeting.’

Witkoff suggested that Putin congratulate Trump on the Gaza peace deal and say that Russia backed it and that he respects Trump as a man of peace, Bloomberg reported.

‘Here’s what I think would be amazing,’ Witkoff reportedly added. ‘Maybe he says to President Trump: you know, Steve and Yuri discussed a very similar 20-point plan to peace and that could be something that we think might move the needle a little bit. We’re open to those sorts of things.’

Bloomberg also reported that Ushakov said Putin ‘will congratulate’ Trump and say ‘Mr. Trump is a real peace man.’

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.

‘This story proves one thing: Special Envoy Witkoff talks to officials in both Russia and Ukraine nearly every day to achieve peace, which is exactly what President Trump appointed him to do,’ White House communications director Steven Cheung told Bloomberg.

Ushakov told Russian media on Wednesday that details about his conversation with Witkoff should not have been leaked, describing the situation as ‘unacceptable,’ according to Reuters.

It added that Ushakov said the leak was aimed at hindering discussions between the U.S. and Russia and that he would be raising the matter with Witkoff.

On Tuesday, Ukraine agreed to the peace deal that would see an end to the war with Russia, a U.S. official told Fox News.

Some minor details of the agreement are still to be sorted out, the official said.

Lt. Col. Jeff Tolbert, a spokesman for U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, had told Fox News that Driscoll and his team met with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the framework for a Ukraine peace deal.

A U.S. official told Fox News that the Ukrainian delegation was also in Abu Dhabi and was in contact with Driscoll and his team.

Fox News’ Ashley Carnahan and Jennifer Griffin contributed to this report.

Trump touts ‘progress’ on Ukraine-Russia deal, admits it’s ‘one of the more difficult’ conflicts to solve

President Donald Trump says Ukraine and Russia are ‘making progress’ toward a peace agreement, but he conceded that the conflict remains ‘difficult’ to solve.

Trump made the comments while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday night, giving insight into the ongoing Ukraine-Russia talks. He went on to say that U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff would soon be engaging in talks in Moscow, potentially alongside Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.

‘We’re having good talks,’ Trump said. ‘Ukraine is doing well. I think they’re pretty happy about it. I’d like to see it end, and we won’t know for a little while. Well, we’re making progress.’

‘We settled eight wars, and I thought this would be one of the easier ones because of my relationship with President Putin, but this is probably one of the more difficult ones. There’s a lot of hatred,’ he added.

Trump said that Europe is playing a large part in ensuring there are security guarantees for Ukraine to prevent any further aggression from Russia.

The Trump administration had come under scrutiny last week after presenting a 28-point peace plan to U.S. lawmakers. Some lawmakers, including Republicans, initially described it as a ‘wish list’ for Russia.

Trump downplayed that plan while speaking Tuesday night, telling reporters that it was ‘just a map.’

‘All that was was a map. That was not a plan. It was, a concept. And from there they’re taking each one of the 28 points, and then you get down to 22 points. A lot of them were solved and actually very favorably solved. So, so we’ll see how we’ll see what happens,’ he said.

While the talks are moving quickly, Trump said he does not have a deadline for securing a deal.

‘The deadline for me is when it’s over,’ he said. ‘I think everybody’s tired of fighting at this moment. They are losing, losing too many people.’

Forte Minerals Commences First-Ever Drilling at the Pucarini High-Sulfidation Gold Project, Puno, Peru

  • Five-hole 1,750m drill program underway
  • Testing for potential large-scale high-sulphidation epithermal gold system
  • Assay results expected early Q1 2026

Forte Minerals Corp. (‘Forte’ or the ‘Company’) ( CSE: CUAU,OTC:FOMNF ) ( OTCQB: FOMNF ) ( Frankfurt: 2OA ) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced at its 100%-owned Pucarini High-Sulfidation Gold Project (‘ Pucarini ‘ or the ‘ Project ‘) in southern Peru. This marks the first-ever drill program on the Project and represents a significant milestone following several years of geological work, community engagement, and environmental permitting.

Pucarini is located within the Southern Peru Miocene Mineral Belt, which hosts numerous epithermal gold (‘ Au ‘) and porphyry copper – molybdenum (‘ Cu-Mo ‘) deposits. The Project exhibits a large-scale hydrothermal alteration footprint with high-sulphidation epithermal Au type mineralization, similar to those of neighbouring and regional deposits in the Puno region of Southern Peru.

Figure 1 – Key Mineral Belts of Southern Peru, INGEMMET, 2020.

Figure 2 – Pucarini Au Geochemistry – IP Chargeability-Resistivity 3D Model – Ground Magnetic Susceptibility 3D Model and Proposed Drilling

Over the past several years, Forte has carried out detailed mapping, geochemistry, multispectral mineralogical analysis, and ground geophysics, while also building strong, long-term relationships with local communities. The Company secured its DIA drilling permit in August 2023 (refer to news release – September 29, 2023 ) and entered into a renewed one-year Community Agreement on March 1, 2025, ensuring local support for the 2025–2026 exploration drilling program.

Inaugural Drill Program

The Phase I program consists of:

  • 5 diamond drill holes
  • 1,750 metres total (~350 m per hole)
  • Testing a potential large-scale high-sulfidation epithermal gold system.

The drill targets were prioritized based on coincident gold geochemistry, high-sulfidation alteration zones, and high resistivity geophysical anomalies, creating a potential cohesive exploration model.

Figure 6 – Pucarini Diamond Drill Hole #3 in Cross section – IP High Chargeability/ Low Resistivity Anomaly and Deeper High Magnetic Susceptibility Anomaly

The 1,000-hectare 100% owned Pucarini Project contains multiple advanced argillic alteration zones within a 3.6 km by 1.8 km hydrothermal alteration footprint. These zones are characterized by massive and granular silica ledges, vuggy silica, and high-sulfidation alteration textures, all consistent with high-sulfidation epithermal Au alteration and mineralization on surface.

Forte has identified a cohesive Au geochemical anomaly in rocks and soils that spans 1,200 m by 600m, supported by a large 1,500 m by 600 m high chargeability anomaly. This is also coincident with a deep-rooted high magnetic susceptibility anomaly that potentially outlines a Au-Cu-Mo porphyry system at depth. Lower levels of anomalous Cu and Mo geochemistry in rocks and soils dominate the main target zone lending more conviction to a potential deeper porphyry target. Together, these datasets outline a robust, untested high-sulphidation epithermal Au target overprinting a potential porphyry Au-Cu-Mo target at greater depth.

With drilling now underway, the Company is positioned to unlock the first subsurface information ever collected from this extensive system. Core processing and sampling from the first drill hole is now underway, and the Company anticipates delivering first assay results to the market in early Q1 2026.

Forte’s President & CEO Statement, Patrick Elliott commented:

‘The start of drilling at Pucarini is a major milestone for Forte. After years of geological groundwork, permitting progress, and meaningful collaboration with local communities, we are finally able to test what we believe is one of the most compelling untested high-sulfidation gold exploration targets in southern Peru.

The scale of the alteration system, the strength of the geophysics, and the consistency of the gold anomaly make this a highly attractive first-pass discovery opportunity. With drilling underway, we look forward to sharing initial results with the market in December.’

Strengthened Balance Sheet and Strategic Alignment

Over the past four months, Forte has welcomed two new strategic investors, each investing C$5.7 million, bolstering the Company’s treasury and aligning long-term development plans across all projects. These investors bring significant in-country operational experience and will play an important role in unlocking value not only at Pucarini, but also at the Company’s second Au asset, the Alto Ruri Au Project.

Alto Ruri Gold Project (15 km from Barrick’s Pierina Mine)

While drilling progresses at Pucarini, Forte remains committed to advancing its second Au project, Alto Ruri , located approximately 15 km from the past-producing Pierina Mine, one of Barrick’s former cornerstone operations. Alto Ruri hosts shallow historical drilling, high-resistivity geophysical anomalies, and district-scale epithermal signatures, underscoring its potential for a near-surface Au discovery (refer to the news release dated March 4 th , 2024 ).

With the support of two new strategic investors with deep operational experience in Peru, advancing environmental permitting at Alto Ruri is a key priority as the Company prepares the project for future drilling.

Crypto Market Update: Strategy Defends Balance Sheet Strength Amid BTC Drawdown

Here’s a quick recap of the crypto landscape for Wednesday (November 26) as of 9:00 a.m. UTC.

Get the latest insights on Bitcoin, Ether and altcoins, along with a round-up of key cryptocurrency market news.

Bitcoin and Ether price update

Bitcoin (BTC) was priced at US$87,388, a 0.6 percent decrease in 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$86,215.64, while its highest was US$88,097.57.

Bitcoin price performance, November 26, 2025.

Chart via TradingView

Bitcoin’s latest rejection from the heavily defended US$90,000–US$92,000 resistance zone has forced traders to reassess the market’s near-term foundation. The sell-off that followed sent BTC sliding into the US$80,000 region, a dip that was considered by market watchers to be the first major stress test since Bitcoin’s explosive run-up in late Q3.

Despite some optimism of a possible temporary reset, investors warn that a decisive break below US$80,000 could expose Bitcoin to a slide toward the US$69,000–US$62,000 support range. As analyst Ted Pillows wrote on X, “$BTC is facing a lot of resistance around the $88,000–$90,000 zone. If BTC doesn’t break above this level soon, expect a sweep of the lows again.”

A major driver of this uncertainty is the sudden reversal in institutional behavior. After months of steady accumulation, Bitcoin ETFs reported roughly US$3.5 billion in outflows, removing a major pillar of demand and accelerating downward pressure on spot prices.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) was priced at US$2,912.48, a 0.7 percent increase in the last 24 hours. Its lowest valuation of the day was US$2,862.84, while its highest was US$2,973.89.

Altcoin price update

  • XRP (XRP) was priced at US$2.19, down by 1.4 percent over 24 hours.
  • Solana (SOL) was trading at US$137.90, up by 0.7 percent over 24 hours.

Today’s crypto news to know

Strategy insists its balance sheet holds firm even at US$25,000 Bitcoin

Strategy reiterated that its balance sheet can withstand a deep Bitcoin drawdown, telling investors in a recent X post that its collateral coverage would remain at 2.0x even if BTC dropped to US$25,000.

The company disclosed updated calculations showing that its convertible debt remains overcollateralized despite the stock’s 49 percent slide and the risk of an MSCI index removal next year.

With 649,870 BTC—worth roughly US$57 billion—the firm remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. Strategy maintains that this overcollateralization gives it room to manage volatility and refinance maturities that run through 2032.

Despite the reassurances, the company continues to face pressure from index committees and investors reevaluating the long-term role of a Bitcoin-heavy corporate treasury.

Recently, S&P Dow Jones Indices left Strategy off its latest round of S&P 500 additions, choosing to elevate SanDisk instead despite Strategy’s market capitalization placing it within the top tier of US public companies.

Strategy’s bid for inclusion has been complicated by its reliance on Bitcoin holdings, which some index members argue behaves more like an investment vehicle than a traditional operating company.

For its part, Strategy insists that its software business, alongside its Bitcoin strategy, qualifies it as an operating firm under the index rules. Chairman Michael Saylor pushed back against the characterization, stressing on X that Strategy is “not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company.”

Japan approves major regulatory shift for crypto under FIEA

Japan’s Financial Services Agency has finalized plans to move digital assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, marking the country’s most sweeping crypto regulatory overhaul in years.

The shift reclassifies crypto assets as investment products and subjects issuers and exchanges to disclosure and conduct standards similar to those governing securities.

The changes affect over 13 million Japanese crypto accounts that collectively hold more than ¥5 trillion, prompting concerns from local exchanges about higher compliance burdens.

The FSA’s working group outlined new obligations, including clearer disclosure of token supply, governance structures, project risk assessments, and issuer responsibilities.

In addition, exchanges will also be required to maintain reserve funds to cover potential hacking incidents. Regulators plan to crack down on unregistered offshore platforms that continue marketing to Japanese users without approval.

The legislative package is expected to be submitted during the 2026 Diet session.

Spain moves to hike taxes on Bitcoin, Ethereum

A Spanish parliamentary bloc has introduced new tax amendments that would significantly increase the burden on Bitcoin, Ether, and other non-financial-instrument crypto assets.

The proposal would shift gains from crypto into the general personal income tax base, which carries rates of up to 47 percent—far above the current 30 percent maximum applied to savings-based income.

Lawmakers also want corporate crypto gains taxed at 30 percent and are pushing for a nationwide “traffic light” risk label that would appear on trading platforms.

Tax specialists argue the reforms would be difficult to implement, with some calling the package legally unworkable and likely to generate administrative chaos. Investors are likewise already expressing concern after a recent case in which a trader was taxed €9 million on a transaction that produced no profit, highlighting flaws in current enforcement.

If enacted, analysts further warn that the new measures could accelerate capital flight from Spain’s retail crypto market.

BHP and Anglo Officially End Merger Talks

BHP Group (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP,OTCQB:BHPLF) confirmed in a statement on Monday (November 24) that its discussions on a merger with Anglo American (LSE:AAL,OTCQX:NGLOY) have officially ended.

The discussions trace back to April 2024, when BHP made its first offer to Anglo to combine their copper assets.

Copper, in particular, has become a prime target as producers seek scale and efficiency in the face of tightening supply and the costly hunt for new deposits.

BHP’s six-week pursuit yielded a total of three offers, including a rejection letter from Anglo in May.

At the time, Anglo said that the deal did not meet its expectations.

In 2025, BHP was triggered to make another bid for Anglo following Anglo’s announcement of a merger with Teck Resources (TSX:TECK.A,TECK.B,NYSE:TECK,OTCQX:TCKRF).

The move was to hinder the supposed new entity, which is projected to become the second-largest listed copper-focused producer, after BHP.

In its statement, BHP said that it is now abandoning its bid for Anglo.

“Whilst BHP continues to believe that a combination with Anglo American would have had strong strategic merits and created significant value for all stakeholders, BHP is confident in the highly compelling potential of its own organic growth strategy,” the mining giant said in its statement.

According to media reports BHP saw Anglo as a means of keeping its dominance in copper.

“While it remains the world’s top producer, its lead is narrowing in the years ahead without significant new projects,” Reuters noted.

Additionally, Berenberg analysts, noted that the Anglo-Teck merger is now more likely to happen after BHP conceded.

“A BHP bid for Anglo would have frustrated that deal, but with BHP now stepping away, it appears that the interloper risk for Anglo has materially reduced and the Anglo/Teck Resources deal is likely to go ahead, assuming approvals are received,’ analysts wrote.

The Anglo-Teck merger is still awaiting approval under the Investment Canada Act.
