Jake Chapman 🇺🇸🚀 ✨🇺🇸 @vc Mamdani’s aunt didn’t take the subway after 9/11… because she didn’t live in NYC… she was working in Tanzania. This sociopath can’t help himself

Full-service menu prices were unchanged in September, breaking a streak of seven consecutive monthly increases Full-service menu prices flattened in SeptemberPhoto courtesy of Pexels / Roman Odintsov The Consumer Price Index for September, announced Friday, shows that inflation rose 0.3% month-over-month and 3% year-over-year. The CPI reading is at its highest level since January but fell below expectations, which could support another interest rate cut next week. Economists’ expectations for September were respective readings of 0.4% and 3.1%. According to federal data — delayed by 10 days due to the government shutdown — the overall food index rose 0.2% over...

Here we go. Senator Lindsey Graham on Sunday issued an ominous warning to Venezuela’s Maduro. Lindsey Graham appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” and told host Margaret Brennan that he doesn’t believe Maduro will stay around much longer. Margaret Brennan asked Lindsey Graham about the US potentially expanding military operations inside Venezuela after the Pentagon ordered the deployment of USS Gerald Ford to the Caribbean Sea to “combat drug trafficking.” “It’s time for Maduro to go. I hope Maduro would leave peacefully, but I don’t think he’s going to stay around much longer,” Lindsey Graham casually said. “The game is...

When you cross into Loudon County, Virginia, one of the first things you notice is the hum - that's the sound of 199 data centres whirring in the background. Few people have heard of this inconspicuous part of northern Virginia, which also happens to be the wealthiest county in the US. But Loudon was on everyone's radar earlier this week, when a massive global Amazon outage downed everything from crucial banking services to fun Snapchat streaks for millions. That's because the county is home to the world's largest swath of data storage and processing facilities - even outpacing China. Data...

President Javier Milei scored a decisive political win Sunday, tightening his grip on Argentina’s Congress and securing a lifeline for his audacious free-market revolution backed by President Trump. With nearly 92% of votes counted, Milei’s Freedom Advances party won almost 41% of the national vote, putting it on track to more than double its representation in Congress. That means it should secure at least one-third of the seats in both chambers—the critical threshold that allows Milei to preserve his veto power and defend his sweeping decrees. The result, stronger than most polls had predicted, gives Milei fresh political momentum after...

New Yorkers flocked to the polls in the hotly contested mayoral race during the first two days of early voting – with totals five times higher than four years ago, city data showed. A total of 164.190 voters checked in Saturday and Sunday in the five boroughs, a massive increase over the 31,176 who cast ballots in the first two days of early voting in 2021, when eventual winner Eric Adams faced off against Republican Curtis Sliwa, according to Board of Elections data. This year, Democratic nominee and front-runner Zohran Mamdani is facing off against GOP candidate Sliwa and independent...

U.S. — After word that Kamala Harris had not ruled out another Presidential run, Republicans have generously donated $50 million to her 2028 campaign. The donors stated that there simply was no one else that they would rather see representing the Democratic party. "We love what Kamala brings to the table," said Republican donor Jerry Gondolin. "She has everything we want in a Democratic candidate. Honestly, I can't think of anyone better to give our money to. At least, not since Joe Biden is unavailable." The Republican National Committee has also announced a matching donation up to $500 million for...

The current government shutdown is the second longest in history The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced on Saturday that food stamps will not be issued next month due to the ongoing federal government shutdown. The shutdown, which is the second longest, entered its 26th day. The Senate has not passed the House bill to continue government funding. "Bottom line, the well has run dry," the USDA said on its website. "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01."

Somehow, Rep. Eric Swalwell has appointed himself the enforcer of the entire Democrat party. So now he's issued this marching order to his fellow Democrats: Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE. — Rep. Eric Swalwell (@RepSwalwell) October 26, 2025 Which is pretty grotesque. Democrats are planning to appeal to voters on this selling point? It seems a little ... unimportant, given the kinds of problems created by Democrats that President Trump is now solving. What's more, it's a bad idea --...

British Muslim journalist and political commentator Sami Hamdi was reportedly detained by immigration authorities at San Francisco International Airport on Sunday morning after he had been on a speaking tour in the U.S., according to a news release shared by The Council on American-Islamic Relations. The Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization called for Hamdi’s “immediate release,” suspecting his detainment was “because of his criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza and at the urging of a notorious anti-Muslim, pro-Israel extremist.” Tricia McLaughlin, the assistant secretary for public affairs at the DHS, wrote on X that Hamdi’s “visa was revoked and...

🚨BREAKING: People are digging up a 2010 CNN clip showing Obama’s $376M White House makeover — all paid for by taxpayers. Meanwhile President Trump’s $250M ballroom is coming out of his own pocket.

I’ve told you from Day 1 folks, it’s ALL going to come out! Actually, I’ve told you I believe that from the very moment of the 2020 Steal, President Trump and the White Hats collected all the evidence in realtime and they’ve had it ever since. More on that in a minute. But now, according to a new post from President Trump himself, it looks like they finally have the final pieces they needed. QUOTE: “We now know everything!” The whole post is incredible and tells you many will go to prison and the full truth about the RIGGED 2020...

The White House is adding a ballroom and it’s basically the end of the world.That’s been the media message the last few days as the Left has been in near hysterics about a much-needed expansion to the president’s mansion. I guess the government shutdown isn’t going quite as well as they thought.“‘It’s your house. And he’s destroying it’: Trump demolishes White House East Wing,” reads a headline from Politico.“Trump is destroying the entire White House East Wing to feed his ego,” reads another headline on MSNBC.This is, truly, one of the dumbest media-concocted “scandals” of the Trump era. And that’s...

After 140 days of chaos, disorder, and lawlessness outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, police finally moved in and cleared Antifa’s encampment on Saturday morning. More than 30 officers braved heavy rain to dismantle the site, ordering demonstrators to remove tents, supplies, and gear that had clogged the area for nearly five months. The encampment, long a symbol of Democrat weakness and radical left-wing extremism, collapsed in hours. For conservatives and law-abiding residents of Portland, it was a long-overdue victory for public order. Since June, Antifa activists had effectively taken control of the street outside ICE’s South Portland facility....
