Governments are warning their citizens. The Pentagon is preparing for prolonged disruption. Military activity is intensifying. Are we paying attention? President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the war with Iran will end immediately after the November 3 midterm elections. On Sept. 9, he made that prediction publicly. On Oct. 28, however, when asked whether he might order additional strikes after the election, Trump replied, “Anything’s possible.” That same day, the Associated Press reported that American officials had privately urged several Middle Eastern governments and regional allies to prepare for renewed U.S. strikes against Iran after the election, as well as...

Greens deputy leader Steph Hodgins-May has taken the unusual step of confronting one of her online abusers, revealing she regularly faces “misogynistic and violent” comments while doing her job. The Victorian senator told nine.com.au that she is targeted by cruel comments, often including violent threats, almost every time she shares a post or video online. Greens senator Steph Hodgins-May said she faces online abuse almost every time she posts on social media. The stream of online vitriol has taken its toll, particularly following the tragic alleged attack on Indi MP Helen Haines, with the incident garnering bipartisan support for the...

Alphabet is Google’s self-created parent company. On October 29, its stock dropped $500 billion — in a day. Thirteen percent of Alphabet’s total value. .... Alphabet is hemorrhaging AI cash — just like all the other Big Tech companies making the AI Big Bet. I still think the AI Big Bet is a big bubble that is about to burst. .... problem is Web Search. I have screwed around with AI a little in a variety of areas. The one thing for which I still return to the AI well? Web Search. Sorry, Google. I use Grok (sorry, Google). I...

0:36 VIDEO AT LINK............... Bam Bitch went down. lol I watched this several times. Not gonna lie. She blocked the ICE vehicle. ICE put her on the ground. Outside Broadview, she stood in front of the vehicle and refused to move. Agent shoved her out of the way and she hit the pavement. Don’t stand in front of federal vehicles. Don’t play roadblock. ICE doesn’t ask twice. They clear the path. FAFO. https://x.com/LibOrNormal/status/2116497964076085715/video/1

In the resurfaced clip, Mohamed says the community’s political goal is to present a united front to lobby for Somalia.

It looks like Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s getting a wish-granted monkey-paw style: MTA buses are now de-facto free — at the price of making them increasingly dangerous and blowing a disastrous hole in the agency’s finances. Not to mention the larger consequence of surrendering to farebeating. MTA chief Janno Leiber last week suspended the EAGLE fare-verification program after a couple of ugly incidents, presumably under political orders not to upset the anti-policing left. And NYPD flacks say the cops have “no plans” to step in; officers haven’t been issuing more than handful of farebeating summonses for some time, and the city’s...

Conservatives score historic win in most left-wing province. Canada went tropical last week (October 24, 2026). I would have written “Hell freezes over in Canada,” but Canada is frozen most of the year, so that wouldn’t work. A political earthquake like nothing before has shaken the Great White North to its tundra core. I’ve previously vented my disdain for our Frozen Banana Republic neighbor, which locks up Christians, dismisses citizens in need of health care, and treads upon the rights of the common man while claiming to be nice in the process. The country has drifted, then rushed to the...

It seems morbidly appropriate that America’s midterm elections come right after Halloween. What the Democrat Party offers voters this year is the culmination of many decades of cultural rot, psychopathy, and anti-Americanism. It feels as if we’re in the middle of a scary movie, doesn’t it? Are we hanging from the edge of a cliff? Yes. Are there evil monsters chasing us down? Yes. Does it seem as if every choice we make could be our last? Yes. What the Democrat Party has become is truly horrific. Like Frankenstein’s monster, its political body is comprised of dead parts: Islamic supremacy,...

Featured photo: Hillary Clinton’s official portrait as Secretary of State. U.S. Department of State, public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.Five days before the midterms, Hillary Clinton told Democrats what a new majority would do first. Not lower grocery bills. Not cheaper gas. Investigations. On the Oct. 28 episode of High Stakes, the Vox Media podcast she co-hosts with Kara Swisher, Clinton predicted President Trump would soon face “a Democratic Congress trying to rein him in, hold him accountable, and investigate him, his administration, his family, his supporters and allies.” Then she added: “So buckle up. The election is just the beginning.”...

“I’ve seen at least 15 cases of voter registration that resulted in actual voting by non-U.S. citizens in the last two weeks alone". We’re seeing this now play out in California and Washington where secretaries of state insist that there are no non-citizens registered to vote, then admit that they have no ability to check the citizenship of whoever is voting, but insist that there’s no reason to believe that there are non-citizens voting because it’s illegal for non-citizens to vote… and so they don’t have to worry about non-citizens voting. However, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne...

Martha Stewart is facing backlash after seemingly dressing up as a homeless person for Halloween. The lifestyle guru reportedly shared — and quickly deleted — a photo of herself wearing tattered clothing, with dirt smeared across her face, while holding a sign begging for food. “I AM HUNGRY HELP ME!” the sign read in her Instagram snap.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was right to grant a visa to Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro and his family. As President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, known as Lula, grows increasingly vindictive and authoritarian, the United States should make clear that political persecution has adverse consequences. Supporting freedom and democracy in Latin America means standing behind those whose right to challenge the government is under threat. Offering protection to an opposition leader in the region’s biggest and most populous nation upholds America’s principles and serves its strategic interests. Bolsonaro and his family arrived in the U.S. this week after...

The Islamo-Leftist alliance is picking up where the Nazis left off, not just in Paris, but across large swaths of Europe—and our choices in this election matter. June 6, 1944, marked the beginning of the end for the Nazi’s dominance across Europe. By August 1944, the Allies were heading to Paris, one of the crown jewels in Hitler’s European conquest. Hitler planned to hold Paris but, failing that, he wanted the Allies to suffer a Pyrrhic victory. To that end, he ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz to leave behind “nothing but a field of ruins.” The Nazis would completely destroy...

A liberal journalist goes to Cuba expecting to document Trump’s damage. The Cubans have other ideas. Worth's questions about American policy produced another revealing exchange. During nine days of travel, he had not met a single person who blamed Donald Trump or the United States for their situation. He sometimes reminded people about the blockade and asked whether conditions had worsened. Retired engineer Guillermo Almeida told him he saw no change since January. Venezuelan oil, he explained, had not been reaching ordinary Cubans anyway. Another man offered a concise explanation: “It seems to us that the real embargo is inside...

In yet another case of a supposed conspiracy theory becoming established fact, the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed that the nation’s largest banks consistently discriminated against customers based on political and social considerations, beginning in the chaotic 2020 election year. In addition to being a reprehensible weapon deployed by a political mass movement to punish half the nation’s population for their political beliefs, the debanking campaign constitutes a thoroughly staggering and shameful misuse of government power, a scandal of historic proportions. In a 47-page report titled “Debanked: Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” released on October 14, the Treasury Department’s...

While the news is scattered and the incidents fresh, it appears the EU-supported politicians attempted a coup d’etat in Poland and lost due to the bravery of the Polish president Karol Nawrocki and the thousands of Poles who support him. The international press is largely silent as this significant setback for the EU unfolds, but thanks to Elon Musk, X is covering it well. Hermann Tertsch , a member of the European Parliament for Spain, reports: Without X, no one in Europe would have found out about what happened in Poland tonight. The head of government Donald Tusk carried out...

"We said he'll blame Russia on Monday. He didn't even wait that long.) After a full day of silence, Tusk finally spoke for five minutes. If you took a shot every time he said "rule of law," you'd be on your eighth before he got to the Russian bots. His main points: 🔸️The court built by PiS "is not a real court," and Nawrocki and PiS blocked every attempt to fix it. 🔸️His judges were "legally elected" and were "attacked," while the police were there to "protect the court from the attackers." 🔸️"In a state governed by the rule of...
