  • Rename New Mexico

    Truth Social ^ | President Donald J. Trump
    New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America. We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America! The name would add great value and prestige to the State! Home Values and Incomes would rise, and you would be even prouder while saluting our beautiful American Flag! Maybe even the Crooked Elections, that New Mexico is known for, would become honest again! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    Mediaite ^ | October 19, 2026 | Ahmad Austin, Jr.
    A “secret pay-for-play” text promising paid access to President Donald Trump is at the center of the latest civil war plaguing the White House, according to a new report from Axios. The Monday report cited a text message received by Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon on May 3, 2025. In the text, the sender claimed that Mildon would be part of “VIP events” and that he would “get close with the administration, even with POTUS,” once he sent money that would be transferred to the Kennedy Center. Mildon claimed the texts were sent by Ric Grenell, a special presidential envoy who...

    We're seeing a lot of rioting and looting going on now in France and Italy. Now, as if things weren't crazy enough already, there are reports of bomb threats in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Police in Northern Ireland and Scotland are investigating. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) stated that up to 300 schools had reported receiving the same emailed message which contained a generalised threat and originated from outside the UK. "It is believed similar emails have been received by some schools across UK," they added. Northern Ireland Education Minister Paul Givan told reporters, "At this stage the...
  • Eisenkot leads Netanyahu in four polls, but neither bloc secures Knesset majority - poll

    Jerusalem Post ^ | October 18, 22026
    With just nine days left until the election, Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar party has maintained a consistent lead over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud in four recent election polls, but neither political bloc comes close to securing the 61 seats needed for a Knesset majority, according to surveys published by Maariv, Channel 13, Kan News, and Channel 12. The four surveys paint an almost identical picture: the Zionist opposition averages 51.25 seats, compared with 51 for Netanyahu's bloc, a virtual tie that leaves the Arab parties and smaller factions hovering around the electoral threshold in key positions ahead of election day....

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has reportedly floated a three-way summit between himself, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the table. The meeting was mentioned in a phone call to Trump on Oct. 9, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing a former Russian intelligence officer briefed on the matter. Such a summit may take place at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, according to the report. The call also produced a deal for Moscow...

    A 34-year-old Kansas mother who drove her Chevrolet pickup truck from a parking space onto an active youth soccer field at Stryker Sports Complex in Wichita has been released from custody without charges after killing two people, including a 6-year-old boy, and injuring at least ten others. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the nightmare unfolded around 3:25 p.m. on Saturday. A black Chevrolet pickup, which police say had been parked near the fields, suddenly drove onto the pitch during a youth match, striking children and adults. Wichita Police Capt. Aaron Moses confirmed two fatalities at the scene and multiple...

    The flow of illegal migration along the southern, U.S.-Mexico border is roughly 95% less than it was during the Biden administration. President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration has been hugely successful at dialing back on illegal border crossings. But for some of America’s border communities whose economies relied on illegal immigrants and Border Patrol operations, there’s a big adjustment underway.Grocery store owner Felix Chavez has spent the better part of five decades building this business in the small border town of Donna, Texas. He’s expanded to eight grocery stores and one convenience store.Each year, he says, sales have climbed. That...

    Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska did not hold back during Thursday night’s high-stakes “Debate for the State” in Anchorage when he spotted his Democrat opponent, former Rep. Mary Peltola, appearing to read from scripted notes or answers. Sullivan appeared suspicious after observing Peltola consulting her notes and suggested that her responses looked suspiciously prepared. “We weren’t supposed to get these questions beforehand, were we?” Sullivan asked the moderators from Alaska Public Media and Alaska’s News Source. The moderator replied firmly: “Neither one of you got questions beforehand. Absolutely not.” Sullivan didn’t let it go. “Okay, I’m just watching my...

    Trump pal and former modeling agent Paolo Zampolli has been fired from his position of special envoy at the State Department following a bizarre year-long war over email leaks, Politico reported. A U.S. official told Politico Thursday that Zampolli’s “status as an envoy has been terminated and he is no longer a government employee.” Zampolli’s firing appears to be the culmination of a nasty feud between the special envoy and the deputy secretary of State Christopher Landau. According to Politico, the two top appointees “have been embroiled in a monthslong fight that includes accusations of leaks to the media and...

    Sadly, and very stupidly, John Cornyn, and his Liddle’ Buddy, Super RINO, Karl Rove, are doing everything possible to make it hard for Ken Paxton, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Best in the United States, to win the upcoming Midterm Election against a Radical Left Lunatic, James TalaFREAKO, who is the ANTITHESIS of Texas Values. John Cornyn who, after my Endorsement, lost the Primary to Ken by a very wide margin, and Karl Rove, who shouldn’t be allowed to spew his jealousy on FoxNews, should be ashamed of themselves. They are hurting...
