REPUBLICANS TRIUMPH: KEY Pennsylvania Seat Flipped
— Rob Bresnahan flipped Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, unseating Democrat Matt Cartwright, who held the seat since 2013. The race was tight, with Bresnahan winning by about 7,000 votes. A bomb threat in Luzerne County added to the election night tension.
Bresnahan credited his grassroots campaign for the win. “We shook every hand,” he said, showing his commitment to engaging voters directly instead of relying on media ads. His team logged over 50,000 miles on their pickup truck during the campaign.
Host Mike Slater highlighted this win’s importance in Scranton, a traditionally Democratic area linked with President Joe Biden. This victory aids Republican efforts to keep control of the House amid ongoing battles nationwide.
Bresnahan had marked this race as vital for securing a Republican majority in the House. He noted that capturing Pennsylvania’s 8th District was crucial for GOP success and expressed satisfaction with reaching that goal through dedicated campaigning efforts.
TRUMP’S Triumph Ignites Outrage: Just Stop OIL Strikes Back
— On Wednesday, Donald Trump claimed victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, winning support from over 70 million Americans. Yet, not everyone was pleased. The far-left group Just Stop Oil showed their anger by splashing bright orange paint on the U.S. Embassy in London.
Just Stop Oil slammed corporate power and fossil fuel industries, saying they control major political parties and are the real winners of the election. They called Trump a “fake populist,” claiming he ignores what they see as vital — stopping oil and gas drilling. The group urged regular people to act since they believe no leaders will make needed changes.
Activist Joseph Aggarwal was detained by police after joining the protest. He voiced concerns about a lack of true democracy across Western nations, arguing voters get similar policies no matter which party wins, worsening living conditions and climate issues. Aggarwal accused Trump of using public frustration to help billionaires while ignoring urgent environmental problems.

TEEN FACES Shocking BIO-Weapon Charges: Ricin and Terror Links Exposed
— Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, 18, now faces serious terrorism and bio-weapon charges on top of murder and attempted murder accusations. He was arrested after a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed party in Southport that left three young girls dead. The new charges involve making ricin and having an Al-Qaeda training manual.
Merseyside Police found evidence in Rudakubana’s home leading to these additional charges. Ricin is a deadly poison that could be used as a weapon if refined. Despite this, UK Health Security Agency officials assured the public there’s no risk from the ricin discovered at his property.
Authorities stressed these terrorism-related charges do not mean the Southport attack was an act of terror. Counter Terrorism Policing hasn’t labeled it as such since motive must be proven for it to be considered terrorism.
Merseyside Police addressed public worries about transparency and rumors regarding withheld information, promising they aim to avoid affecting any trial while staying open with communities. They confirmed no information is being purposely kept from the public.
VENEZUELAN GANG’S Chaos: US Communities Under Threat
— In New York City, kids as young as 11 are reportedly involved in violent robberies linked to the Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua (TdA). Surveillance footage from Aurora, Colorado shows a brutal attack on a worker by men refusing to accept a bribe. In Texas, two foreign nationals were arrested for allegedly planning to transport firearms for criminal use.
These incidents highlight the growing influence of TdA across the United States. The gang has gained notoriety through violent crimes that have alarmed law enforcement and policymakers. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas has been vocal about the threat posed by TdA, especially in border communities unprepared for such brutality.
Gonzales and other GOP lawmakers have urged President Biden to designate TdA as a Transnational Criminal Organization. They warn that if unchecked, the gang could unleash terror similar to its impact in Central and South America. The gang’s activities include drug trafficking and human trafficking, leaving devastation across multiple countries.
Authorities caution that Tren De Aragua’s criminal operations pose an increasing danger to American communities nationwide. With its roots in Venezuela’s prisons, this “thug-for-hire” organization is spreading chaos from major cities like New York City down to small towns along border states like Texas.
TRUMP Assassination Attempt SUSPECT Laughs in Court: Shocking Behavior Revealed
— Ryan W. Routh, accused of trying to assassinate former President Trump, appeared in court Monday. He was seen smiling and laughing with his defense lawyers. Florida prosecutor Dave Aronberg stated that Routh’s behavior does not indicate criminal insanity. “He fled after all, tried to get away and escape,” Aronberg noted. Routh was arrested near Palm City, Florida on September 15, 2024. A U.S. Secret Service agent spotted a rifle barrel through a fence at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. Routh fled north on Interstate 95 toward his home in North Carolina. Aronberg highlighted the irony of Routh’s actions given his support for Ukraine against Russia. Despite understanding right from wrong in international conflicts, Routh allegedly attempted an evil act by targeting Trump. This undermines any potential insanity defense he might claim. Federal prosecutors have taken over the case as the investigation continues into the failed assassination plot against former President Trump.
Heightened security measures marked the event, reflecting increased threat levels. Trump focused on resilience and overcoming adversity in his speech, themes that resonated with supporters. This appearance is significant as Trump had been relatively quiet since the incident.
President Biden praised law enforcement for their heroic response, highlighting their role in maintaining public safety. Figures from both political sides acknowledged the bravery of the security forces involved. Investigations continue to uncover more details about the suspect and their motives.
The incident has sparked discussions about security protocols for public figures amid political tension. Trump’s return is seen as a defiant stand against threats to democracy and personal safety. The event underscores the volatile environment of contemporary American politics as investigations proceed.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT on Trump’s Life: FBI Investigates Alleged Assassination
— Former President Donald Trump survived another alleged assassination attempt while golfing in West Palm Beach on Sunday. The FBI is investigating the incident as an “attempted assassination.” This comes just over eight weeks after Trump narrowly survived a shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss expressed relief that Trump is safe, questioning the state of affairs in the U.S. “These attempts to subvert democracy must be stopped,” she urged. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper also condemned the violence, stating political violence has no place in a democracy and expressing gladness for Trump’s safety.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK and a staunch Trump ally, called the shooting “truly appalling.” Farage himself has faced physical attacks due to his political career and reflected on this latest attempt on Trump’s life with concern. Since leaving office, Liz Truss has become one of Trump’s most vocal supporters in Europe, emphasizing the importance of his return to power for the fate of the Western world.
TRUMP RALLY Draws Huge Crowd In Arizona: Supporters Ecstatic
— Videos and pictures on social media show the arena, which holds 18,000 people, nearly full ahead of former President Donald Trump’s speech at the Turning Point Action rally. Supporters lined up for miles hoping to gain entry.
The venue previously hosted an event by Harris earlier this month, drawing a crowd of 15,000. The Trump rally comes shortly after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the suspension of his presidential campaign and urged blue state residents to vote for him while supporting Trump in battleground states.
Trump hinted at a “special guest” for the rally on Truth Social, leading many to speculate that it could be Kennedy. “Heading to Arizona where I will soon be speaking at Turning Point — BIG CROWD, AND EVEN BIGGER SURPRISE!” he posted.
SECURITY FAILURES at Trump Rally Spark Outrage
— Two local law enforcement officers left their post to search for a suspicious man before the shooting at former President Donald Trump’s rally. This decision raises questions about whether a key position was left unattended as the shooter climbed onto a roof.
Pennsylvania State Police Col. Christopher Paris testified that the officers were stationed at a second-floor window with a clear view of the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire. Paris admitted uncertainty about whether staying at their post would have allowed them to see Crooks climbing onto the adjacent building’s roof.
The testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee sheds light on security preparations for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, but also highlights potential lapses in law enforcement decisions. The Butler County District Attorney and Secret Service have not responded to requests for comments on who ordered the officers to leave their post.
The incident has sparked growing concerns over multiple security failures that enabled Crooks to fire eight shots into the crowd, resulting in one death and two injuries. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after being criticized by lawmakers for what she called the agency’s “most significant operational failure” in decades.
TERRORIST ATTACK Foiled: Southern Israel on High Alert
— Security has been tightened in southern Israel since Hamas-led terrorists killed around 20 people on Oct. 7, sparking the Gaza war. On Monday, a suspect arrived at the entrance of Netiv HaAsara and threatened members of the community’s rapid response team with a knife. The team opened fire, stopping the attack.
Israeli Police are investigating the attempted terror attack near the Gaza border. The Israeli military confirmed one person was killed after trying to stab security forces. Magen David Adom (MDA) paramedics reported that no one was physically injured, though a 61-year-old woman suffered from shock.
The terrorist was identified as a Canadian citizen who accused the IDF of killing civilians in Gaza. The IDF confirmed that he came from within Israel rather than crossing from Gaza. This incident highlights ongoing tensions and security challenges in the region.
CONGRESS BLOCKED From Trump Rally Security Report
— Congress was blocked from accessing the crucial Ops Report detailing the protection plan for former President Trump’s rally, a lawmaker revealed to Fox News Digital. The report should explain who was responsible for securing the rooftop from which Thomas Matthew Crooks fired.
Paul Mauro, an attorney and retired NYPD inspector, stated that if the Ops Plan did not cover that rooftop or wasn’t done at all, it represents a significant failure by whoever approved it. Mauro confirmed that as of Thursday afternoon, the FBI held the detailed written plan based on information from a highly trusted source.
The FBI declined to comment on the matter. Despite several reported sightings of Crooks an hour before he opened fire in Butler, Pennsylvania, he managed to slip through security cracks. One of his bullets grazed Trump’s ear and could have been fatal if Trump hadn’t moved his head at that moment.
MADURO SHOCKS With Sympathy for Trump After Assassination Attempt
— Former President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The shooter injured Trump and killed Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief.
Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro condemned the attack on Trump during his own campaign rally. Maduro’s comments were unusually sympathetic towards Trump, wishing him a "speedy recovery.
Maduro stated, “We have been adversaries but I wish President Trump health and a long life.” This marks a significant shift from his typical hostile rhetoric against the former U.S. president.
TRUMP ASSASSINATION Attempt: Hero Dead, TWO Injured At Pennsylvania Rally
— The Pennsylvania State Police have identified the victims of the attempted assassination of former President TRUMP at a rally in Butler County. Corey Comperatore, 50, from Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed. David Dutch and James Copenhaver were injured but are in stable condition. Matt Popovich of the Marine Corps League of Pennsylvania confirmed that one of their members was among the victims. “It is with great sadness that I report that one of the civilians shot at the rally was one of our own,” he wrote on Facebook. Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief, tragically lost his life while shielding his family from bullets. David Dutch remains in critical condition after being shot in the liver and chest. He is currently in an induced coma following multiple surgeries. Doctors described Trump’s survival as “miraculous” given how close a bullet came to his brain. The incident highlights growing political tensions and has left communities mourning and praying for those affected.
TRUMP SURGES Ahead in Michigan: Biden’s Struggle to Secure Base Exposed
— A recent trial ballot in Michigan has revealed a surprising lead for Trump over Biden, with 47 percent favoring the former president compared to 44 percent for the incumbent. This result falls within the survey’s ±3 percent margin of error, leaving nine percent of voters still undecided.
In a more complex five-way trial ballot test, Trump maintains his lead at 44 percent against Biden’s 42 percent. The remaining votes are split among independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, and independent Cornel West.
Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research, attributes Trump’s lead to Biden’s lackluster support from African Americans and younger voters. He forecasts a nail-biting contest ahead as the victory will likely hinge on which candidate can rally their base more effectively.
In a head-to-head choice between Trump and Biden, an overwhelming 90 percent of Republican Michiganders back Trump while only 84 percent of Democrats support Biden. This poll report underscores an uncomfortable situation for Biden as he loses a significant 12 percent chunk of his vote to former President Trump.
MCQUADE’S SHOCKING Comparison: Trump’s Tactics Mirror Hitler and Mussolini?
— Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade has sparked controversy by comparing President Trump’s tactics to those of infamous dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. She suggests that Trump’s use of simple, repeatable slogans like “Stop the Steal” reflects strategies used by these historical figures.
McQuade also argues that Trump’s claim of a stolen election is a “big lie.” She believes this tactic, ironically, gains credibility due to its sheer size. According to her, such strategies have been seen in the actions of notorious leaders like Hitler and Mussolini throughout history.
In addition, she criticized today’s media environment. McQuade suggests that people are creating their own “news bubbles,” leading to an echo-chamber effect where they only encounter ideas that support their existing views.
Her remarks have ignited intense debates on social media platforms. Critics argue her comparison is overly dramatic while supporters think it underscores serious problems in our political dialogue.
TRUMP’S EYE on Burgum: A Potential Power Player in Second Administration
— Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, has recently been spotlighted by former President Trump as a potential key player for his possible second term. This news emerged following Trump’s unprecedented victory in the Iowa Caucuses.
Responding to conjecture about a potential role in Trump’s administration, Burgum, who had previously endorsed Trump just before the Iowa Caucuses said, “Well, it’s very flattering... but you know, these are all hypotheticals.”
The Governor underscored his dedication to his current position and to backing Trump’s nomination and election endeavors. He further explained that his previous campaign was motivated by concerns about the economy, energy and national security issues that America is facing.
BIDEN’S Motorcade Shocked in Unexpected CAR Crash: What Really Happened?
— On Sunday evening, an unforeseen event took place involving President Joe Biden’s motorcade. As the President and First Lady Jill Biden were departing from the Biden-Harris 2024 headquarters, their convoy was struck by a car. This incident transpired in Wilmington, Delaware.
A silver sedan bearing Delaware license plates collided with an SUV that was part of the presidential convoy. The impact produced a loud bang which reportedly caught President Biden off guard.
Immediately following the collision, agents surrounded the driver with firearms at ready while members of the press were quickly moved away from the scene. Despite this startling occurrence, both Bidens were safely escorted away from the location of impact.
TRUMP BACKLASH: Former Arkansas Governor Booed at Florida Freedom Summit Over Anti-Trump Remarks
— Asa Hutchinson, the former governor of Arkansas, was met with a chorus of boos during his speech at the Florida Freedom Summit. This strong reaction from the crowd was triggered when Hutchinson hinted that Donald Trump could potentially face a felony conviction by a jury next year.
Having served as both a federal prosecutor and representative, Hutchinson is currently not making any waves in the Republican primary race with his polling numbers flatlining at zero percent. His remarks sparked widespread disapproval among the more than 3,000 attendees present at the event.
Despite facing an unfavorable response from his audience, Hutchinson didn’t back down. He maintained that Trump’s potential legal troubles could sway independent voters’ view of the party and influence down-ticket races for Congress and Senate.
TRUMP’S FIGHT: The Fourteenth Amendment Takes Center Stage in Ballot Battle
— A brewing legal battle is placing the spotlight on the Fourteenth Amendment’s “Insurrection Clause”. Plaintiffs argue that President Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, should bar him from appearing on future ballots.
This legal challenge is not unique to one state. Similar cases are popping up across the country, including Colorado. Here, Judge Sarah Wallace, an appointee of Democrat Governor Jared Polis, presides over the case. There is a possibility that this issue may escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump’s defense team counters by asserting that this amendment doesn’t extend to presidents. They highlight that while it mentions Senators and Representatives among others, it does not explicitly include presidents. The presidential oath has its own separate provision in the Constitution.

TRUMP’S Triumph: A Historic White House Return Shakes UP America
— In a historic White House meeting, President-elect Donald Trump and President Joe Biden discussed the transition of power after Trump’s decisive 2024 election victory. This encounter marked Trump’s first return to the White House since his win, setting a cooperative tone for the transition period.

Their conversation focused on key topics, including strategies from Biden’s administration and ensuring a smooth handover of duties.
