TRUMP’S Immigration Plan: Schools Gripped by Fear
— Rumors of immigration raids during Donald Trump’s presidency caused panic in Oregon schools. Although unfounded, these rumors led to students avoiding classes out of fear. School staff had to reassure and encourage students to return.
Educators nationwide are preparing for potential disruptions as Trump pledges to deport millions of illegal immigrants. Even discussing such policies can harm immigrant children’s education, experts warn. UCLA’s Hiroshi Motomura stated that threats of mass deportation hinder societal functioning and educational access for children.
Fear has already gripped many communities, with children attending school under a cloud of anxiety. Almudena Abeyta, superintendent in Chelsea, Massachusetts, noted that immigrant students are worried about deportation risks. This concern is prevalent among Central American and Haitian families settling in the area.
UKRAINE’S Battle: How Drones and Trump Could Change the WAR
— Ukrainian soldiers in the Kharkiv region are using drones to deliver supplies to troops on the front line. The Khartia brigade, led by a commander known as Kit, repurposes bomb-carrying drones to transport food, water, and hand warmers. These deliveries sustain soldiers for days as they battle Russian forces in harsh conditions.
Despite focusing on immediate challenges, Ukrainian troops are aware of potential changes with Donald Trump’s possible reelection. Trump has criticized U.S. support for Ukraine and praised Putin’s actions, which could alter American involvement in the conflict. However, Kit emphasizes that his priority is defending territory against Russian advances rather than speculating about political shifts.
Russia is intensifying attacks in Kharkiv with powerful bombs and drone swarms while advancing in other areas like Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. Intelligence reports indicate up to 12,000 North Korean troops have been deployed near Russia’s border with Ukraine to bolster defenses against Ukrainian forces.
The situation highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics affecting Ukraine’s fight for sovereignty amid global political uncertainties. As these factors evolve, Ukrainian soldiers remain focused on their mission despite looming international changes that could impact their struggle significantly.
EUROPEAN Allies RALLY to Defend Ukraine as Trump Era Looms
— London, Paris, and Warsaw are forming a core group to support Ukraine against Russia, anticipating changes in U.S. policy under a possible Trump presidency. Donald Trump hasn’t detailed his plans for ending the conflict but has mentioned options like land swaps or demilitarized zones. These strategies clash with Ukraine’s goal of total victory over Russia.
British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss defense matters and support for Ukraine. They want outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden to allow Ukraine’s use of long-range missiles against Russia before any Trump policy shift. The U.S., however, worries this could escalate tensions with Moscow significantly.
A UK government source stressed the urgency of maximizing efforts before Trump’s potential presidency begins on January 20th. Starmer and Macron aim to strengthen Ukraine’s position as winter nears and after Trump’s re-election announcement days ago, despite financial challenges faced by both the UK and France amid budgetary issues.
Poland, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusks, is also increasing its role in this emerging anti-Trump alliance within Europe. Meetings between Polish leaders and European counterparts are planned to involve NATO members from Scandinavia as well.
LAMMY’S Shocking Turnaround on Trump Ignites Fierce Discussion
— Foreign Minister David Lammy is under pressure to retract his past criticisms of President-elect Donald Trump. Despite his history of harsh remarks, Lammy holds back from issuing a retraction. He admits his perspective has shifted since taking on his new role.
Lammy previously called Trump a “woman-hating, neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and other harsh names. Now, he aims to work with the Trump administration, with help from Nigel Farage MP. Recent interactions hint at a warming relationship between the UK and Trump’s team.
In September, Lammy dined with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Trump at Trump Tower. He described Trump as gracious and warm towards the UK and its royal family. This meeting suggests potential for better US-UK relations despite past tensions.
However, Lammy still worries about Trump’s tariff policies meant to protect American jobs. He stresses aligning US-UK interests while tackling global trade issues like those posed by China. Lammy highlights finding opportunities amid inevitable disagreements with the new administration.
TRUMP’S BOLD Move: Elon Musk and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Connect
— President-elect Donald Trump facilitated a conversation between Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a congratulatory call. A Ukrainian official revealed that Trump handed his phone to Musk, allowing Zelenskyy to thank the SpaceX CEO for providing Starlink satellite internet access. This highlights Musk’s influence within Trump’s circle, sparking speculation about a potential formal role in the administration.
Trump’s interactions with Zelenskyy are under scrutiny as he prepares to assume office on January 20th. He has suggested a shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine, proposing Kyiv might cede territory for peace with Russia — an idea Zelenskyy rejects. This stance contrasts with Trump’s previous administration’s decision to arm Ukraine against Russian aggression in 2017, which helped counter the full-scale invasion in 2022.
The Biden administration has provided extensive military and economic aid to Ukraine, drawing criticism from Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. They argue that U.S. resources should prioritize domestic needs over foreign conflicts, reflecting their cautious approach towards international involvement.
UK PM Faces BACKLASH: Apologize to Trump or Risk Trade Deal?
— Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to apologize to President-Elect Donald Trump for past harsh words. Concerns about the “special relationship” between the U.S. and the UK are growing, especially with a potential trade deal on the line. Brexit leader Nigel Farage urged the Labour government to welcome Trump, seeing his friendship as a big opportunity for Britain.
New Tory leader Kemi Badenoch supported this view during her first Prime Minister’s Questions session. She urged Starmer to formally apologize for Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s derogatory remarks about Trump, which included inflammatory language and actions against him speaking in Parliament. Badenoch congratulated Trump on his win and asked if apologies were made during recent meetings with him.
Starmer avoided directly addressing the apology issue, describing his meeting with Trump as “constructive.” However, he did not respond to calls for an apology. His previous comments have shown anti-Trump sentiment, accusing the Tory party of following Trump’s politics by neglecting democratic principles for self-interest.
This stance raises questions about future UK-U.S relations under Starmer’s leadership if tensions remain unresolved. The situation could impact diplomatic ties and economic agreements between these long-time allies if not addressed soon.
EUROPEAN LEADERS Anxious Over Possible Trump Comeback
— Around 50 European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, met to talk about trans-Atlantic relations with the possibility of Donald Trump returning. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte stressed the need for a united front on Russia. The summit aimed to ensure smoother relations if Trump wins the presidency again.
Rutte, who worked with Trump during his first term, praised Trump’s clarity and ability to reach joint decisions. He highlighted shared challenges from Russia’s actions in Ukraine and warned that Russia’s ties with North Korea threaten both Europe and the U.S. mainland.
Trump previously urged European NATO allies to boost defense spending beyond 2% of their GDP. This push led NATO members to exceed this target without U.S. contributions considered. Rutte credited Trump for sparking this shift during his presidency, which is now a reality for many European nations.
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.
TRUMP’S Triumph: Disillusioned Voters Reject Harris-Biden Agenda
— Former President Donald Trump has made a comeback to the White House, highlighting widespread dissatisfaction with Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden’s nearly four-year term. Many voters, unhappy with America’s path, embraced Trump’s bold approach. AP VoteCast showed about 3 in 10 voters wanted a complete government overhaul.
Economic concerns were key in Trump’s victory, overshadowing issues like democracy and abortion protections favored by Harris’ supporters. Voters worried about the economy supported stronger immigration enforcement and believed Trump was better suited to tackle economic challenges. This sentiment was strong in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
Even though he won the electoral college, some voters had reservations about Trump’s potential use of power. A notable number expressed concern over possible authoritarianism under his leadership. Yet more than 1 in 10 concerned voters still backed him despite these fears.
Inflation anxiety was a major concern nationwide as families felt their financial situations worsening since the last election cycle. The rising cost of living remained an urgent issue for many Americans struggling with higher prices on essentials like groceries and housing costs. These economic pressures greatly boosted Trump’s appeal among disenchanted voters seeking change.
TRUMP’S Shocking Victory: Pennsylvania WIN Secures Presidency
— Fox News declared Donald TRUMP the winner of Pennsylvania early Wednesday morning, securing his victory in the presidential race. Trump delivered a victory speech at Mar-a-Lago around 2:30 a.m. ET.
NBC’s Yamiche Alcindor reported that aides to Kamala Harris acknowledged her loss, despite no official concession from Harris herself. Her team discussed future cooperation with the Trump administration.
The Associated Press, CNN, and MSNBC confirmed Trump’s victory later in the morning, around 6 a.m. ET. Meanwhile, Harris left her election night event at Howard University without making any public remarks or conceding to Trump.
TRUMP’S Surge: Why Hispanic Voters Are Embracing Him
— CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, Anthony Salvanto, highlighted Donald Trump’s rising support among Hispanic neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Despite Trump’s past rhetoric, many Hispanics feel he isn’t targeting them negatively. This perception is shifting some Latino voters toward Trump.
A poll revealed that two-thirds of surveyed Latinos believe Trump wasn’t referring to them when discussing immigrants. Additionally, half of foreign-born Latinos shared this sentiment. These findings suggest a growing acceptance of Trump among Hispanic communities.
While Latinos predominantly lean Democrat, Trump’s messaging on the economy resonates with many in this demographic. His approach appears to offer a sense of belonging similar to that extended to white voters. This strategy could be pivotal for his future campaigns as he continues to engage with diverse voter groups.
ELECTION SHOCKER: Harris vs Trump Reveals Deep National Split
— Voters for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump showed starkly different priorities in Tuesday’s presidential election. This reflects a broader national divide on key issues facing the United States.
AP VoteCast surveyed over 115,000 voters nationwide, revealing that Harris supporters were primarily motivated by concerns about the fate of democracy. Her campaign’s messaging, labeling Trump as a fascist, seemed to resonate with her base.
Conversely, Trump’s supporters focused on immigration and inflation as their main concerns. Trump has consistently promised that tariffs would revive factory jobs and increased domestic oil production would lower prices across the economy.
HISPANIC Voters TURN to Trump: Discontent with Biden’s Policies
— A recent poll from The New York Times shows 35% of Hispanic voters feel Donald Trump’s policies helped them, compared to just 22% for President Biden. This suggests a preference for Trump’s approach over the current administration. The data raises questions about President Biden’s absence from campaign trails alongside Vice President Harris.
Munoz emphasized growth and improvement in key economic areas under Vice President Harris’s vision, claiming it resonates with Latino voters. However, he acknowledged the challenge of effectively reaching these communities through traditional polling methods. Munoz argued that Latino voters seek candidates who promise change rather than maintaining the status quo associated with Trump.
Burman highlighted that only 20% of Hispanic voters rate the economy as excellent or good, while 80% describe it as fair or poor — indicating dissatisfaction with current economic conditions. Despite this, Munoz remained optimistic about influencing voter perception in the remaining days before elections. He stressed focusing on ground-level engagement over relying solely on polling numbers to sway opinions among Hispanic constituents.
TRUMP And HARRIS Neck-And-Neck: What’s Behind the Poll Shocker?
— Recent polls show a tight race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, with both candidates nearly tied. Just last month, Harris was ahead in election and favorability ratings. Now, her lead is gone, sparking questions about why voters are changing their minds.
NBC’s Savannah Guthrie talked with analyst Steve Kornacki about this shift. He explained how Harris’s favorability ratings have reversed. Last month, she had a 48% positive rating compared to Trump’s steady numbers. Now her positive rating has fallen to 43%, while her negative rating jumped to 49%.
Kornacki noted that this change brings Harris’s ratings closer to Trump’s figures. He also mentioned an interesting twist about public views on Trump’s presidency. Recent polling shows that 44% of voters think Trump’s policies helped their families more than during his time in office.
HARRIS’S FUNDING Frenzy: Can Trump’s Campaign Catch UP?
— Vice President Kamala Harris has surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in campaign fundraising. On the day she announced her candidacy, Harris raised $25 million and reached $500 million within a month. This financial boost gives her a strong edge as the 2024 presidential race intensifies.
Trump’s campaign, however, had collected $309 million by the end of August. To close this gap, Republican super PACs are stepping up, spending over $80 million on TV ads nationwide in September alone. They’ve also set aside more than $100 million for advertising during the campaign’s final weeks.
Despite this fundraising difference, Republicans remain determined. They’re investing heavily in online, mail, and door-to-door campaigns to counter Harris’s financial lead. The race for the White House is becoming fiercely competitive as both sides strategically deploy their resources to win voters over.
LIBERAL GROUP Targets Trump And Vance In Shocking Charges
— A liberal group backed by George Soros and Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us has filed charges against Donald Trump and Senator J.D. Vance. The Haitian Bridge Alliance claims the duo disrupted public services and harassed the Haitian community in Springfield, Ohio.
The charges include making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing, and complicity. The group’s attorney stated that local prosecutors failed to act, prompting this rare move by private citizens in Ohio.
State law mandates a hearing before the affidavit can proceed, but none has been scheduled yet. Pro-Democratic media outlets have amplified these accusations while downplaying the impact of government-funded migration on American jobs and communities.
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.
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.
BIDEN and STARMER UNITE on Ukraine: Bold Strategy Talks at White House
— Labour leader Keir Starmer met with President Joe Biden at the White House to discuss strategy for Ukraine. They did not focus on specific capabilities.
Starmer had planned to press Biden on sending British Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine but will now address it at the UN General Assembly.
Biden dismissed Putin’s warnings about arming Ukraine, stating he doesn’t think much about Putin and believes Putin won’t win the war. However, Biden is hesitant to provide long-range ATACMS missiles due to limited impact and stock concerns.
The leaders also talked about Gaza, with Britain recently halting arms deliveries to Israel over potential violations of international humanitarian law.
ROBERT F Kennedy JR Shocks Nation: Endorses Trump
— Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his presidential campaign on Friday and endorsed Republican nominee Donald Trump. Speaking in Arizona, Kennedy expressed concerns that continuing his campaign would aid Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.
Kennedy’s support had declined in recent polls as he struggled to find his place in a race reshaped by President Joe Biden’s exit and Harris’ nomination. Recent polls showed Kennedy’s support hovering in the mid-single digits, far from earlier double-digit figures.
A July AP-NORC poll revealed Americans were split on their views of Kennedy, with Republicans more likely to view him favorably than Democrats or independents. Those with a positive impression of Kennedy also tended to favor Trump over Harris by a significant margin.
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.
MICHAEL RAPAPORT Shocks Fans: Admits Trump Was Right on Israel and Economy
— Actor Michael Rapaport, known for his harsh criticism of Donald Trump, has recently changed his tune on two key issues. Speaking on Sage Steele’s podcast, Rapaport admitted he was wrong about Trump’s handling of the economy and Israel.
Rapaport had previously called Trump derogatory names and criticized him daily. However, he now acknowledges that Trump supported Israel effectively and weakened Iran’s terror financing capabilities.
“I was wrong,” Rapaport confessed, noting that while he still dislikes some of Trump’s behavior, he can’t deny the positive outcomes in these areas. This admission marks a significant shift in Rapaport’s stance on the former president.
BIDEN DEMANDS Supreme Court Shake-UP: Sparks Intense Debate
— President Biden has called for major changes to the Supreme Court, sparking a heated debate. Co-host Jonathan Lemire discussed the topic with Senator Cory Booker, who downplayed the extent of the proposed reforms.
Booker argued that these changes are practical and have bipartisan support. He emphasized that the highest court should not have low ethics standards, pointing out that right-wing billionaires are giving lavish gifts to justices with cases before the court.
Booker also supported term limits for justices, similar to other major democracies. He stressed that courts should not be influenced by financial gifts from interested parties as this undermines democracy and delegitimizes institutions.
NETANYAHU and TRUMP Reunite: What’s at Stake for US-Israel Relations
— Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to meet former President Trump on Friday at Mar-a-Lago. The meeting aims to repair their fractured relationship after Netanyahu congratulated President Biden following the 2020 election. Trump had expressed his displeasure, saying, “I haven’t spoken to him since,” and adding a harsh remark.
Netanyahu’s tweet congratulating Biden and Harris highlighted his long-standing relationship with Biden and expressed a desire to strengthen the US-Israel alliance. This move angered Trump, who felt betrayed by the Israeli leader’s swift acknowledgment of Biden’s victory.
In an effort to mend ties, Netanyahu praised Trump during a speech to Congress on Thursday. He thanked Trump for his leadership in brokering the Abraham Accords and condemned political violence against democracy.
The Abraham Accords, facilitated by Trump’s administration, normalized diplomatic relations between Israel and several Sunni Arab countries including the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco. Netanyahu’s tribute underscores the importance of Trump’s Middle East achievements in their upcoming meeting.
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.
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.
TRUMP’S Unwavering Support For Israel Cheered At GOP Convention
— Matt Brooks, CEO of the Republican Jewish Coalition, spoke passionately at the 2024 Republican National Convention. He emphasized Trump’s strong support for Israel and criticized Biden’s foreign policy failures. “Let me hear you cheer if you support Israel!” Brooks urged, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
Brooks contrasted the GOP’s stance with that of Democrats, claiming a pro-Israel speech would be booed at their convention. Attendees proudly displayed Israeli flags as Brooks highlighted Trump’s achievements, including moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and delivering the Abraham Accords.
The convention celebrated Trump’s formal nomination as the Republican presidential candidate alongside running mate J.D. Vance. This event followed a failed assassination attempt on Trump just days earlier, adding to the triumphalist atmosphere in Milwaukee.
Republicans aim to leverage dissatisfaction within the Jewish community over Biden’s perceived lack of support for Israel and tolerance of antisemitism on campuses and in cities. “This election is a critical moment for the American Jewish community,” Brooks stated, urging voters to continue Trump’s pro-Israel legacy and repair U.S.-Israel relations after what he described as four disastrous years under Biden.
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.
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.
DEMOCRAT Calls for BIDEN to Resign Over Health Concerns
— Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) called for President Biden to step down and resign on Thursday. She cited concerns from her constituents about the President’s age and health. “I doubt the President’s judgement about his health, his fitness to do the job, and whether he is the one making important decisions,” she stated.
Perez emphasized that Americans deserve a president who is fit enough to lead. She urged Biden to put national interest first by resigning. “The crisis of confidence in the President’s leadership needs to come to an end,” she added.
Later in the day, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) also called for Biden’s resignation after a NATO press conference. Despite praising Biden’s record and accomplishments, Himes joined Perez in suggesting it was time for him to step down.
WELCH SLAMS Biden’S RE-Election: "Disastrous" Debate Performance Raises RED Flags
— Vermont Senator Peter Welch expressed concerns about President Biden’s re-election campaign in a Washington Post op-ed. While praising Biden’s past achievements, Welch highlighted worries about his recent debate performance. “We cannot unsee President Biden’s disastrous debate performance,” Welch wrote.
Welch noted that Biden appeared to freeze and struggled with his closing statement during the June 27 debate. He argued that these issues raise valid questions about Biden’s ability to defeat Trump in November. “The stakes could not be higher,” he added.
Despite understanding Biden’s desire to run again, Welch urged him to reassess his candidacy. “He saved us from Donald Trump once and wants to do it again,” Welch stated, but concluded, "In my view, he is not the best candidate.
NATO SUMMIT In DC: Biden’s RE-Election Doubts Shake Ukraine Support
— World leaders are heading to Washington, D.C., this week for a historic NATO summit as uncertainty rises over continued U.S. support for Ukraine. The summit marks the 75th anniversary of the alliance’s founding and comes amid skepticism about President Biden’s re-election chances and their impact on Ukraine’s war with Russia.
Key issues on the agenda include Ukraine’s success in its war with Russia, its future within NATO, and how the alliance plans to bolster collective defense. The U.S. has been a major supporter of Ukraine, providing significant aid, sparking debate over whether this level of support can continue under a different presidency.
Former President Donald Trump has not clarified what U.S. involvement with NATO would look like if he wins a second term, leaving questions about future American support for the alliance and Ukraine unanswered. Experts believe Trump is unlikely to pull out of NATO altogether but note that the alliance is taking steps to safeguard its support for Ukraine should Washington reduce its involvement.
BIDEN’S Naps Spark Fears About Fitness For Presidency
— In a recent interview, host Abby Phillip questioned President Biden’s fitness, citing reports of his need for naps during debate prep. Phillip asked if these accommodations should concern Americans about his ability to serve another term.
Senator Butler deflected the question, focusing on broader issues like democracy and economic growth. She argued that Biden’s need for schedule adjustments shouldn’t overshadow his accomplishments in office.
Phillip pressed further, emphasizing the 24/7 nature of the presidency and expressing alarm over Biden’s nap requirements. Butler responded by listing Biden’s legislative achievements, suggesting that his work speaks louder than his need for rest during debate preparation.
BIDEN’S Border Chaos: Record Crossings Spark Outrage
— President Biden’s border policy is facing intense scrutiny as illegal crossings hit record highs. Critics argue that the administration’s approach has led to chaos and insecurity at the southern border. Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to restore order.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed additional state resources to manage the surge. He stated, “The federal government’s failure leaves us no choice but to protect our own borders.” Local communities are feeling the strain, with many residents expressing concerns over safety and resources.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas defended the administration’s strategy, claiming it aims for a “humane” approach. However, many believe this leniency only encourages more illegal immigration.
With midterm elections approaching, border security remains a hot-button issue. Republicans see this as an opportunity to highlight what they view as Biden’s failed policies and push for stricter enforcement measures.
Biden’s BORDER Policies are FAILING: Shocking New Data Exposed
— New data reveals that President Biden’s border policies are not working. The number of illegal crossings has skyrocketed, causing major concerns. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed, and many believe the administration is not doing enough to secure the border.
Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and invites more illegal immigration. They say stronger measures are needed to protect the country and ensure safety. This includes building more barriers and increasing patrols along the border.
Supporters of stricter policies claim that current strategies fail to address the root problems. They emphasize that without tougher enforcement, illegal crossings will continue to rise, putting a strain on resources and communities near the border.
The debate over how to handle immigration continues, but one thing is clear: Biden’s current policies are facing serious challenges. Many Americans want change and demand action to secure the nation’s borders effectively.
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION Under Fire for Ignoring Israeli Victims
— The Biden-Harris Administration’s recent fact sheet on conflict-related sexual violence has sparked controversy. The document highlights victims in various countries but omits Israeli victims and Palestinian terrorists’ crimes on October 7.
Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) have voiced their concerns, sending a letter to the White House. They criticized the exclusion of sexual violence committed by Hamas against Israelis from the fact sheet.
Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a screening of Sheryl Sandberg’s film Screams Before Silence, which documents these atrocities. This omission is particularly embarrassing for Democrats following Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s primary defeat this week.
BIDEN’S Border Failure: Communities Suffer Amid Migrant Surge
— President Biden’s border policy is under scrutiny as a new wave of migrants arrives at the southern border. Border Patrol agents report an unprecedented surge, straining resources and personnel.
Republican leaders criticize the administration for what they call a “failed approach” to immigration. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated, “The federal government must take immediate action to secure our borders.”
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas insists the administration is handling the situation effectively. However, many conservatives argue that current policies encourage illegal crossings.

Local communities near the border are feeling the impact firsthand. Increased crime rates and strained resources have residents worried about their safety and well-being. Many are calling for immediate action to address these pressing issues before they worsen further.

BIDEN’S Border Policy Disaster: Record Migrant Surge Sparks Outrage
— The Biden administration’s border policies are facing renewed scrutiny as record numbers of migrants overwhelm U.S. border facilities. Critics argue that the administration’s lenient stance has encouraged illegal crossings, leading to chaos and insecurity.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reported over 250,000 encounters in September alone, a historic high. This surge has strained resources and raised concerns about national security and public safety.
Republican lawmakers are calling for immediate action to secure the border. “Our communities are at risk,” said Senator Ted Cruz, emphasizing the need for stricter enforcement measures.
The White House has yet to present a concrete plan to address this crisis, leaving many Americans frustrated. As the situation deteriorates, calls for accountability continue to grow louder.
Biden’s BORDER Policy SHOCKS Americans: Crime Rates Soar
— President Biden’s border policy has led to a surge in illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the rising crime rates linked to this influx. Local communities are feeling the impact, and some residents say they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhoods.

Supporters of stricter border control point out that crime rates have increased in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from further harm.
The debate over immigration policy continues, but one thing is clear: many Americans are deeply concerned about their safety and the future of their communities under current policies.
Biden’s BORDER Crisis: SHOCKING Numbers Reveal the Truth
— The border crisis under President Biden is getting worse. New data shows a record number of illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the impact on our country’s safety and economy.
In August alone, over 200,000 illegal immigrants were caught crossing the southern border. This is a huge increase from previous months. Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed and struggling to keep up with the surge.
Critics say Biden’s policies are to blame for this crisis. They argue that his administration has been too lenient on immigration laws. This has encouraged more people to try and enter the U.S. illegally, putting strain on resources and communities near the border.
Supporters of stricter immigration laws believe that tougher measures are needed now more than ever. They call for stronger enforcement at the border and policies that discourage illegal crossings altogether. The situation remains tense as America watches how this issue will unfold in the coming months under Biden’s leadership.
TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Lawyers Demand End to GAG Order in New York Case
— Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting the removal of a gag order that prevents him from commenting on witnesses, jurors, and others involved in his criminal case. His lawyers argue that the restrictions on Trump’s First Amendment rights are no longer justified now that the trial has concluded.
Trump’s attorneys, Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, emphasized the need for “unrestrained campaign advocacy,” especially after President Joe Biden’s public comments about the verdict. They also pointed out ongoing criticism from Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels as reasons to lift the gag order.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office declined to comment on this request. Judge Juan M. Merchan initially issued the gag order before the trial started due to concerns about Trump attacking those involved in his cases.
Merchan later expanded it to include comments about his own family after Trump targeted his daughter online. While remarks about Merchan and District Attorney Alvin Bragg are permitted, statements regarding court staff and Bragg’s prosecution team remain prohibited under the current gag order.
UK-US SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP Faces Turbulence With Trump And Labour
— Polls indicate Donald Trump may return to the White House, while the Labour Party is projected to take power in the UK. This potential shift could strain the “special relationship” between the two nations.
Labour leaders are softening their stance on Trump, recognizing the need for cooperation with Washington. However, London Mayor Sadiq Khan is pushing for open criticism of Trump, labeling him a “racist,” “sexist,” and "homophobe.
Khan insists that maintaining a special relationship means calling out such views. Despite his city’s crime issues and recent re-election, Khan remains vocal against another Trump presidency. He argues against welcoming Trump with state honors and claims many Republicans share his concerns about Trump’s return.
BIDEN’S SACRILEGIOUS Act at Florida Rally Sparks Outrage
— Bishop Thomas Paprocki criticized President Joe Biden for making the sign of the cross at a Florida abortion rally, calling it “sacrilegious” and a mockery of Catholic faith. This incident occurred as Biden stood beside Nikki Fried, who was criticizing Florida’s six-week abortion limit.
The sign of the cross is deeply revered in Catholicism as it symbolizes respect for Christ’s death and belief in the Holy Trinity. Bishop Paprocki argued that by using this gesture during an abortion rights speech, Biden blatantly contradicted these sacred beliefs.
On a diocesan podcast, Bishop Paprocki further highlighted that Biden’s public support for abortion directly opposes the Fifth Commandment, which forbids murder. His remarks have ignited widespread debate and backlash across various online platforms.
The bishop’s condemnation points to a broader conflict between political actions and religious convictions, stirring intense discussion among both supporters and critics of President Biden’s stance on abortion rights.
BIDEN’S Misleading Claims Caught On Tape at Fundraiser
— At a recent fundraiser, President Joe Biden inaccurately stated that former President Donald Trump recommended injecting bleach as a COVID-19 treatment. This claim has been proven false by various authoritative sources, including the official White House transcript.
Trump’s actual comments were about the potential of using UV light inside the body to combat the virus, which he discussed during a briefing on experimental treatments. These suggestions were not intended as practical medical advice.
This episode sheds light on the persistent issue of misinformation within political discourse. It emphasizes the critical need for public figures to maintain precision and responsibility in their communications.
The spread of such misinformation can have significant implications, underscoring why leaders must be held accountable for their words in order to preserve trust and factual integrity in public dialogue.
BIDEN’S Bold Threat: US Weapons Withheld if Israel Invades
— President Joe Biden recently stated that the U.S. would withhold weapons to Israel if they proceed with an invasion of Rafah. In a CNN interview, he clarified that this scenario has not occurred but cautioned against the use of U.S.-supplied arms in urban warfare.
Critics were quick to voice concerns over Biden’s remarks, citing potential threats to Israeli security. Notable figures like former Vice President Mike Pence and Senators John Fetterman and Mitt Romney voiced their strong disapproval, stressing unwavering U.S. support for Israel.
Pence labeled Biden’s approach as hypocritical, reminding the public of a past president’s impeachment related to similar issues with foreign aid. He called on Biden to stop making threats and to reinforce America’s longstanding alliance with Israel, echoing widespread conservative views.
Besides his statements about Israel, earlier this month Biden endorsed a significant aid package for Ukraine and other allies, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to global support despite facing criticism at home.
TIKTOK On The BRINK: Biden’s Bold Move to Ban or Force Sale of Chinese App
— TikTok and Universal Music Group have just renewed their partnership. This deal brings UMG’s music back to TikTok after a short break. The agreement includes better promotion strategies and new AI protections. Universal CEO Lucian Grainge said the deal will help artists and creators on the platform.
President Joe Biden has signed a new law that gives TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. This decision is due to worries from both political sides about national security and protecting American youth from foreign influence.
TikTok’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, announced plans to fight this law in U.S courts, claiming it supports their constitutional rights. Yet, ByteDance would rather close TikTok in the U.S than sell it if they lose their legal battle.
This conflict shows the ongoing struggle between TikTok’s business goals and America’s national security needs. It points out big worries about data privacy and foreign influence in American digital spaces by China’s tech sector.
BIDEN HALTS Leahy LAW: A Risky Move for US-Israel Ties?
— The Biden administration recently paused its plan to apply the Leahy Law to Israel, sidestepping a potential complication for the White House. This decision has sparked intense discussions regarding the future of U.S.-Israel relations. Nick Stewart from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies has voiced strong criticism, labeling it as a politicization of security aid that could set a troubling precedent.
Stewart charged that the administration is overlooking crucial facts and fostering a damaging narrative against Israel. He argued that this stance could empower terrorist organizations by distorting Israeli actions. The public exposure of these issues, along with leaks from the State Department, points to political motives rather than genuine concerns, Stewart suggested.
The Leahy Law bars U.S. funding to foreign military units accused of human rights violations. Stewart called on Congress to scrutinize whether this law is being politically weaponized against allies like Israel during an election season. He stressed that any real concerns should be addressed directly and respectfully with Israeli officials, preserving the alliance’s integrity
By halting application of the Leahy Law specifically towards Israel, questions arise about consistency and fairness in U.S. foreign policy practices, potentially impacting diplomatic trust between these longstanding allies.
MEDIA BIAS Outrage: Olbermann Cancels NYT Subscription Over Biden Coverage
— Keith Olbermann, a well-known media personality, has publicly ended his subscription to The New York Times. He claims the newspaper’s publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, shows a bias against President Joe Biden. Olbermann announced his decision on social media, reaching nearly a million followers.
Olbermann argues that Sulzberger’s personal dislike for Biden is harming democracy. He believes this bias is why the Times has been particularly critical of Biden’s age and his administration’s actions, especially noting the president’s limited interviews with the paper.
Furthermore, Olbermann challenges the accuracy of reports from Politico regarding tension between the White House and The New York Times. His bold move to cancel his subscription and voice criticism underscores significant concerns about fairness in political journalism today.
This incident sparks broader discussions on media integrity and bias in political reporting among conservatives who value journalistic accountability and transparency in news coverage.
NYT SUBSCRIPTION Dropped: Keith Olbermann Slams Biden Coverage
— Keith Olbermann, once a prominent face on SportsCenter, has publicly ended his subscription to the New York Times. He pointed out what he sees as biased reporting on President Biden. Olbermann announced his decision to his nearly one million social media followers.
Olbermann directly accused A.G. Sulzberger, the publisher of the Times, of holding a personal grudge against President Biden. He believes this resentment influences the newspaper’s focus on Biden’s age and results in unduly negative coverage.
The root of this issue appears in a Politico piece discussing tension between the White House and the New York Times. Olbermann suggests that Sulzberger’s dissatisfaction with Biden’s limited interactions with the press is prompting harsher scrutiny from reporters at the Times.
However, skepticism surrounds Olbermann’s assertion that he has been a subscriber since 1969 — a claim that would mean he started his subscription at age ten — raising questions about his accuracy and reliability in this controversy.
