GAINESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — As word spread across Jackson County, a gathering of friends quickly grew into an impromptu town hall. One woman, with her freshly coiffed hair, rushed over after hearing about the gathering at the local beauty salon, as did the owners of two restaurants and the coffee shop that all sit on the east side of the Gainesboro town square. One by one, local townspeople — about 50 in all — seemingly appeared out of nowhere from the quiet streets of Gainesboro and quickly ducked into the events center that sits just across the street from the historic Jackson County Courthouse. FULL REPORT: Watch NC5 at 6 p.m. Some just came with questions — others, with deep concerns. "We don't want one news story to portray something of Jackson County that we're not," said Kara Smith, whose husband Beau had spread the word that we were coming to town. It followed NewsChannel 5’s revelations about the white Christian nationalists — led by podcasters Andrew Isker and C.Jay Engel — now setting their sights on Jackson County, hoping to turn this quaint community of just over 12,000 people into a political haven for others just like themselves. Jackson County is located about 90 minutes northeast of Nashville. "We're building a town, right? We're building a community there,” Isker said during a July podcast when he and Engel announced their move to Tennessee. Yet, for the people who already have a community here, the news took them by surprise. "Did anyone have any sense about these people prior to this story?" I asked. A loud chorus of local residents responded in unison, “No, no." Among those we met, some had deep roots. "My family has been here for seven generations," said Mark Dudney, a public historian with an agency that serves the Upper Cumberland region of Tennessee. Others were drawn here by the openness of the people they now call neighbors. “I'm a ‘mover-inner.’ I think that's what you all call people who move in from other areas,” said Diane Murphy, glancing around the room with a smile. "This town is such a loving group of people. I've been accepted, even though I came in from outside." And we were there to listen. "What has this story done to this community's sense of well-being?" I asked. "I think mainly people are scared," answered Murphy, who is vice chair of the local Republican Party. I had explained to the crowd that I had used the online story to provide documentation for every remark attributed to Isker and Engel, Murphy added: "I listened to the podcasts. I did research on what you mentioned," Murphy added. "It scares me that they are very clear about taking over." Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area, trying to recruit other like-minded people to join Isker and Engel in relocating to Gainesboro. In a video posted online by one of the developers, Isker talked about the ability of those people to get their way in a small community. "You could exercise far, far more political power – even with a few hundred or a few thousand people – than you can on your own, widely dispersed across the entire country,” the right-wing Minnesota pastor said. I asked the Jackson County residents, "When you hear them talking about coming here to build a town, to build a community, what's your reaction?" Diana Mandli quickly chimed in. "I would love to speak to that. That makes me mad," she said. Mandli co-owns a local restaurant, the Bull and Thistle, and she sees a community remaking itself without the help of strangers from out of state who don't understand what Jackson County already has. "People from all different walks of life, genealogies, nationalities, race — you name it — we have got a melting pot right here in this small town, all working together to make this town come back to life,” she explained. So, I wanted to know, “What is it you're afraid of losing?" "I don't want to lose what we already have — the sense of community." Mark Dudney, the public historian, agreed. “It is a very welcoming community, but I think they kinda came in under the radar and want to recreate it in their own image," he said. On election night, the podcasters monitored the results of the 2024 presidential election during a nearly nine-hour show from Gainesboro. The real estate developer behind the project, Josh Abbotoy, provided live reports from a watch party he had hosted for local Republicans at the same events center. One of their podcast buddies also set up an account on X, formerly Twitter, that claimed to represent the views of the local Republican Party. Jackson County Republican Party chair Beau Smith was surprised when NewsChannel 5 Investigates first told him about the X account. "It said it was the official account of the Jackson County GOP." "But it was not," said Smith, who immediately insisted that the podcaster remove the claim that the account was endorsed by the local party. We also showed him where Engel had tweeted that "the best way forward" for Christian nationalists "is to take over local level outlets of the Republican Party." "So that's not going to happen especially now due to your reporting,” Smith said. “We're thankful for that, and knowing these people are in our community is a big deal." Still, not everyone is so concerned. The administrator of a local Facebook group lashed out at those who were also upset that a white supremacist group, the Asatru Folk Assembly, had bought property in Jackson County in December 2022. “I think you guys just don’t like outsiders,” Mickie Davis posted. “Just live and let live.” Late Friday, Engel appeared on a YouTube program run by a local minister to try to quell some of the public backlash following NewsChannel 5’s report. As the host took calls from local residents, Engel was asked about the podcasters’ claims that they are coming to Jackson County to “start a town.” Engel described it as being an “analogous” statement. “Our plan is to assimilate into the culture of the area and to participate in making Gainesboro a better place to live, to the extent that we are welcomed to,” he said. Back inside the events center, I asked the group, "Have these Christian nationalist podcasters, these developers tried to have a meeting like this, to sit down and answer your questions?" “No,” they again responded in unison. One woman called out from across the room, "They're a wolf in sheep's clothing." But what really concerned these Jackson County residents — some who were reluctant for their faces to be on camera — are the podcasters' views that the Civil Rights movement was a mistake, that foreigners who have become U.S. citizens still don't belong in America. I asked, "What is it that you would like for these people coming in from out of state to know? What message would you have for these people?" "This town is not for them," said local business owner Barry Naff. Another woman called out, "Bigotry is not going to work." "No, it's not going to work," Naff agreed. Yet another woman chimed in from off camera, "We are not that community, and we don't want to be a part of a racial hate community." Then, Isker and Engel’s views on women are discussed. On social media, Engel had posted that he "detest(s) the specific impact of college-educated White women on the culture of the world" he sees around him. That comment had brought a spirited response on Facebook. "The White women on Facebook that you are referring to, they are probably the scariest thing these guys are going to have to deal with now," Mark Dudney said, drawing laughter from the crowd. Over and over, the townspeople made clear that, if the Christian nationalists think Gainesboro and Jackson County is a place where people all think like them, they don't know Jackson County. "These people's views do not represent our community,” said lifelong resident Nan Coons. "And if they think they are going to come in here and take over and force their views on everybody else, they are going to have a fight on their hands." —————————— Do you have information that would help me with my investigation?

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not be charged with a crime after he was found with a gun in a car driven by his brother, a prosecutor said Monday. The gun on the floor was registered to Williams, but he didn’t have a concealed-carry permit. His brother did. Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Michigan law is “far from clear” when applied to the 1 a.m. traffic stop on Oct. 8. “We really could not recall any case that had facts that mirrored this case,” she said. Williams was riding in a car driven by his brother when Detroit police stopped the vehicle for speeding. Williams said one of two guns in the car belonged to him and was registered. But without a concealed-pistol license, known as a CPL, a Michigan gun owner typically must place the weapon in a closed case while in a vehicle. A violation is a felony. In this case, Williams’ brother had a permit. “The CPL holder here was the driver and had care, custody and control of the car,” Worthy said. “Guidance is needed for the future on how many weapons can a valid CPL say that they have control over.” Williams obtained a CPL on Nov. 6, a month later, attorney Todd Flood said.

During the traffic stop, Williams was handcuffed and placed in a patrol car before officers released him with his gun instead of taking him to a detention center. Williams, a first-round draft pick in 2022, has 29 catches for 602 yards and four touchdowns this season. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL Advertisement Advertisement

YouTuber Paul eyes Joshua showdown143 Entertainment is under intense scrutiny following allegations of sexual misconduct involving their CEO and MADEIN member Gaeun. According to a report by Koreaboo , the agency’s public denial of the claims, combined with actions like disabling comments on social media platforms, has sparked widespread criticism from fans and netizens, many of whom are rallying for accountability and justice. The controversy reportedly began earlier this month when fans noticed unusual activity on Gaeun’s Instagram. She wiped her account clean and unfollowed the agency’s CEO, raising suspicions. Around the same time, JTBC’s Scandal Supervisor aired a report alleging that a girl group member had evidence of being sexually assaulted by her agency’s CEO. While the report did not name the victim or group, fans identified footage used in the broadcast as related to MADEIN. Gaeun’s announcement of a hiatus for health reasons on 11 November only added to the concern. Matters came to a head on 22 November when MADEIN’s official account on X (formerly Twitter) issued a statement acknowledging the connection to their group but vehemently denying the allegations. In their statement, 143 Entertainment declared: “First and foremost, we wish to clarify that there was no sexual harassment or any other form of sexual contact involving abuse of power between the mentioned member and the company CEO. The reported claims are entirely false. Additionally, regarding the hotel incident involving the member, we would like to clarify that it was in the company of acquaintances. The broadcasted information was based on statements from individuals unrelated to the member, who provided inaccurate accounts. We want to emphasize once again that the issue is baseless and completely unfounded.” However, many fans found the agency’s response unconvincing. The decision to disable comments on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube was widely interpreted as an attempt to suppress discussions and avoid accountability. As one fan remarked on X, “Disabling comments just proves they don’t want the truth out. It’s a cowardly move.” Another voiced frustration over the broader issues at play, stating, “This is probably just the tip of the iceberg in K-pop. CEOs like this know how to hide their tracks or intimidate their idols into silence.” Adding to the outrage is Gaeun’s young age—she is only 19 years old. One netizen expressed their shock, saying, “She’s younger than me. These creepy old men preying on helpless girls need to face justice.” Fans have called for a boycott of MADEIN, hoping to pressure the company into greater transparency and systemic change. The ongoing backlash against 143 Entertainment highlights troubling dynamics in the K-pop industry, where exploitation and power imbalances are often shrouded in secrecy. Fans remain vocal on X, keeping the conversation alive and amplifying demands for a safer and more ethical environment for idols.

Former Labour minister, Lord Peter Mandelson, has sparked controversy by suggesting the use of Reform UK’s leader to strengthen ties between the nations. Tony Blair’s former lead advisor is considered to be the top choice for the role of UK ambassador to the US. However, Lord Mandelson has directly contradicted official government policy to not engage Nigel Farage in international relations by saying the UK should use the Clacton MP as a “bridgehead”. The suggestion by the former business secretary, which could spark a wider civil war within the Labour party if there's a huge divide in opinion on the matter, also explains the connection to Elon Musk , saying the UK should “swallow [its] pride” to engage with the entrepreneur. Speaking to Times Radio podcast, Mandelson says: “If I were the government here, I’d be asking the embassy in Washington DC to find out who [Musk’s] other British friends are . . . [and use them as a] bridge.” President-elect Trump has appointed Musk to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency. Mandelson continued to explain how it would be “unwise . . . for Britain to ignore him”, labelling the department as a “technological, industrial, commercial phenomenon”. The Tesla founder has been vocally critical of Sir Keir Starmer and his Government, supporting the growing petition for a general election which has surpassed two million signatures. On his platform X, he posted: “The people of Britain have had enough of a tyrannical police state” having also accused him of going “full Stalin” in regards to the inheritance tax raid on farmers. Mandelson expressed the importance of using Farage as a bridge to the US and the people within Trump’s newly elected office. “You can’t ignore him, he’s an elected member of parliament. He’s a public figure. He’s a bridgehead, both to President Trump and to Elon Musk and others . . . National interest is served in all sorts of weird and wonderful ways,” he says. Speaking to the Financial Times in response to the former business secretary’s comments, Farage said he “might disagree with Mandelson on his politics, but he’s a very intelligent man”. The Reform UK leader added that Mandelson is “trying very hard” when asked if he would endorse him for the new ambassador role, but queried his willingness to break his “commitment to the European Union ”.Paris Hilton’s ‘proud’ surgery claimShohei Ohtani wins third MVP award, first in NL.

NoneIllegal immigration is a global issue that affects economies, social cohesion, and national security. Countries worldwide, including the United States and many European nations, face increasing pressure from undocumented migrants, sparking debates on balancing humanitarian responsibility with national security. India faces immigration challenges, both domestically and in terms of emigration to western nations. A recent report showed that nearly 9,00,000 undocumented Indians were caught in the U.S., with half of them being from Gujarat. As a rising global power, India has an opportunity to lead efforts for regulated migration, reduce illegal routes, and promote international cooperation. Illegal immigration affects all regions. In the U.S., (now President-elect) Donald Trump’s hardline approach (in his first tenure), which included calls for mass deportations, has generated significant debate. Large-scale deportations are estimated to cost the U.S., $315 billion, with long-term expenses reaching nearly $968 billion over a decade. Beyond the financial impact, this approach risks losing skilled labour, reducing tax revenues, and separating families. These challenges highlight the need for coordinated action to address the root causes of illegal immigration worldwide. India’s domestic experience India has its own challenges. Some of the northeastern States such as Assam and West Bengal have seen considerable migration from neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh and Myanmar. This influx has raised concerns about employment, social stability, and cultural preservation. In response, India has introduced measures such as the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA). While these initiatives have sparked controversy, they underline India’s efforts to balance national security with humanitarian obligations. India’s experience shows the importance of fair and effective solutions. India-U.S. collaboration India and the U.S. could benefit significantly from a coordinated approach to immigration policy. By sharing best practices and intelligence, both countries can better address security concerns, streamline legal migration, and reduce incentives for illegal immigration. Cooperation could enhance security and foster economic stability and family unity. Some potential areas of cooperation between India and the U.S. include, first, enhanced border security. By jointly working to secure borders, using technology and intelligence sharing, both nations could more effectively prevent illegal crossings. The second area is streamlined migration processes. Simplifying and expediting legal migration channels would reduce wait times and incentivise lawful immigration, making it easier for migrants to follow legal pathways. The third area would be economic development initiatives. Programmes that promote economic growth in high-migration regions could address root causes, providing stability and opportunity locally. The fourth is in humanitarian assistance. Joint efforts to provide aid and support to migrants and refugees would promote safety and dignity, reducing the need to pursue illegal channels. India could also take a proactive role in supporting the voluntary return of undocumented Indian migrants. Partnerships with U.S. immigration agencies could enable an agreed-upon repatriation process, with the Indian government covering part of the expenses to help returning citizens reintegrate into society. This initiative would offer a humane, organised solution, allowing India to address illegal immigration with compassion and responsibility. Efforts to curb illegal immigration may also help strengthen India’s relationship with the U.S. President-elect, who is viewed as a transactional leader and may be inclined to reciprocate with favourable policies or support in other areas. This collaboration could thus bring mutual benefits in multiple spheres of bilateral interest. Western countries should consider their approach to unauthorised migration from stable democracies such as India. Allowing unauthorised migration from democracies disrupts the sovereignty and governance in these countries. To respect human rights, western nations should prioritise legal migration channels and support democratic governments rather than enabling illegal migration. India’s role at the United Nations India’s influence at the United Nations positions it to advocate global solutions to illegal immigration. India can propose resolutions that emphasise border security, fair treatment of migrants, and efficient repatriation processes. Leading efforts to create internationally agreed protocols, India can play a central role in fostering a migration system that is both secure and humane. By collaborating with nations that frequently receive Indian migrants, such as the U.S. and European countries, India can establish clear, lawful migration pathways and work towards combating human trafficking and illegal immigration networks. Illegal immigration is a complex global issue that requires coordinated, multilateral action. India, as a rising global power, is well-positioned to lead by promoting regulated migration, supporting the return of undocumented migrants, and encouraging international cooperation. Working with partners such as the U.S., India can create a more humane, effective immigration system, setting an example for addressing one of the world’s most pressing challenges with compassion, cooperation, and shared responsibility. This partnership also has the potential to benefit India in its relationship with the U.S., as a transactional approach could see both sides reaping rewards for mutual efforts. Americai V.

But experts say don’t expect big revelations DALLAS (AP) — The nation is set to mark 61 years since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated as his motorcade passed through downtown Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963. Even after over six decades, conspiracy theories about what happened that day still swirl and the desire to follow every thread of information hasn’t waned. President-elect Donald Trump made promises over the summer that if reelected he would declassify the remaining records. At this point, only a few thousand of millions of pages of governmental records related to the assassination have yet to be fully released. And those who have studied what's been released so far say that the public shouldn’t anticipate any earth-shattering revelations even if the remaining files are declassified. Bitcoin is at the doorstep of $100,000 as post-election rally rolls on NEW YORK (AP) — Bitcoin is jumping again, rising above $98,000 for the first time Thursday. The cryptocurrency has been shattering records almost daily since the U.S. presidential election, and has rocketed more than 40% higher in just two weeks. It's now at the doorstep of $100,000. Cryptocurrencies and related investments like crypto exchange-traded funds have rallied because the incoming Trump administration is expected to be more “crypto-friendly.” Still, as with everything in the volatile cryptoverse, the future is hard to predict. And while some are bullish, other experts continue to warn of investment risks. NFL issues security alert to teams and the players' union following recent burglaries The NFL has issued a security alert to teams and the players’ union following recent burglaries involving the homes of Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, the league says homes of professional athletes across multiple sports have become “increasingly targeted for burglaries by organized and skilled groups.” Law enforcement officials noted these groups target the homes on days the athletes have games. Players were told to take precautions and implement home security measures to reduce the risk of being targeted. Some of the burglary groups have conducted extensive surveillance on targets. Penn State wins trademark case over retailer's use of vintage logos, images PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Penn State has won a closely watched trademark fight over an online retailer’s use of its vintage logos and images. A Pennsylvania jury awarded Penn State $28,000 in damages earlier this week over products made and sold by the firms Vintage Brand and Sportswear Inc. Penn State accused them of selling “counterfeit” clothing and accessories. The defendants said their website makes clear they are not affiliated with Penn State. At least a dozen other schools have sued the defendants on similar grounds, but the Pennsylvania case was the first to go to trial. Has a waltz written by composer Frederic Chopin been discovered in an NYC museum? NEW YORK (AP) — A previously unknown musical work written by composer Frederic Chopin appears to have been found in a library in New York City. The Morgan Library & Museum says the untitled and unsigned piece is the first new manuscript of the Romantic era virtuoso to be discovered in nearly a century. Robinson McClellan, the museum’s curator, says he stumbled across the work in May while going through a collection brought to the Manhattan museum years earlier. He worked with outside experts to verify the document's authenticity. But there’s debate whether the waltz is an original Chopin work or merely one written in his hand. Volcano on Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula erupts for the 7th time in a year GRINDAVIK, Iceland (AP) — A volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland is spewing lava from a fissure in its seventh eruption since December. Iceland's seismic monitors said the eruption started with little warning late Wednesday and created a long fissure but looked to be smaller than eruptions in August and May. Around 50 houses were evacuated after the Civil Protection agency issued the alert, along with guests at the famous Blue Lagoon resort, according to the national broadcaster. The repeated eruptions over the past year have caused damage to the town of Grindavík and forced people to relocate. Australian teen and British woman who drank tainted alcohol in Laos have died, bringing toll to 5 VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — An Australian teenager and a British woman have died after drinking tainted alcohol in Laos in what Australia’s prime minister said was every parent’s nightmare. Officials earlier said an American and two Danish tourists also had died following reports that multiple people had been sickened in town popular with backpackers. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told Parliament that 19-year-old Bianca Jones had died after being evacuated from Vang Vieng, Laos, for treatment in a Thai hospital. Her friend, also 19, remains hospitalized in Thailand. Later Thursday, Britain said a British woman also died and the media in the U.K. identified her as 28-year-old Simone White. US ahead in AI innovation, easily surpassing China in Stanford's new ranking The U.S. leads the world in developing artificial intelligence technology, surpassing China in research and other important measures of AI innovation, according to a newly released Stanford University index. There’s no surefire way to rank global AI leadership but Stanford researchers have made an attempt by measuring the “vibrancy” of the AI industry across a variety of dimensions, from how much research and investment is happening to how responsibly the technology is being pursued to prevent harm. Following the U.S. and China were the United Kingdom, India and the United Arab Emirates. Pop star Ed Sheeran helps favorite soccer team sign player before getting on stage with Taylor Swift It turns out British pop star Ed Sheeran is also good at recruiting soccer players. Sheeran is a minority shareholder at English soccer team Ipswich Town and it needed his help over the summer to get a player to join the club. Ipswich CEO Mark Ashton tells a Soccerex industry event in Miami: “Ed jumped on a Zoom call with him at the training ground, just before he stepped on stage with Taylor Swift. Hopefully that was a key part in getting the player across the line.” Ashton didn’t disclose the player in question, saying only: “He’s certainly scoring a few goals.” Chris Stapleton wins 4 CMA Awards, but Morgan Wallen gets entertainer of the year It was mostly Chris Stapleton’s night at the Country Music Association Awards. Stapleton won four times and took the stage to perform three times Wednesday night at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. But an absent Morgan Wallen won the biggest award, entertainer of the year. Stapleton's wins included single of the year and song of the year for “White Horse,” and his eighth trophy as male vocalist of the year. Best female vocalist of the year went to Laney Johnson. An all-star ensemble including both Stapleton and Johnson performed in tribute to George Strait, who won the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
