US President Donald Trump has called for the imprisonment of Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois governor JB Pritzker, accusing them of failing to protect federal immigration officers. The remarks, posted on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, come amid ongoing political tensions over immigration enforcement and the deployment of federal troops in Democratic-led cities.“Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE Officers! Governor Pritzker also!” Trump wrote, referring to US immigration and customs enforcement personnel operating in the city.

Trump’s comments follow a recent executive order by Johnson that designates city property as an “ICE Free Zone,” restricting federal immigration agents from using municipal facilities. The move was seen as a direct pushback against federal immigration operations within the city.Trump’s statement adds to a broader dispute over the use of the national guard in Democrat-led states. Hundreds of Texas national guard soldiers have reportedly assembled at a military facility near Chicago, despite vocal opposition from state leadership, including Johnson and Pritzker.The administration has not accused either Johnson or Pritzker of any wrongdoing legally. Both leaders have opposed Trump’s immigration policies and criticized what they see as the federal government’s overreach. Pritzker has previously accused Trump of trying to provoke unrest as a means to justify military deployments.

Roblox, which reports more than 111 million active monthly users, is used by roughly two-thirds of American children aged 9 to 12.

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has filed a lawsuit against Roblox, alleging the company failed to protect minors from sexual predators and explicit material, including violent simulations depicting the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Filed on Monday, the suit accuses the California gaming platform of operating as a “playground for pedophiles” by neglecting to implement any meaningful age verification, moderation, or parental safeguards. Roblox, which reports more than 111 million active monthly users, is used by roughly two-thirds of American children aged 9 to 12.

According to the complaint, predators frequently create fake accounts posing as children to contact and groom minors. “Roblox is designed to allow predators easy access to children,” prosecutors wrote, alleging that the company’s inaction has resulted in “harassment, kidnapping, trafficking, violence, and sexual assault.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday ready to spar with Democrat members of the Committee and armed with a binder full of of negative and embarrassing information about them.

Bondi testified that the Department of Justice under her leadership is “ending the weaponization of justice” and “returning to our core mission of fighting real crime.”

While indicating there will be accountability for past abuses of power, Bondi emphasized that the Justice Department is focused now on tackling violent crime in cities like Washington D.C. and Memphis, rather than pursuing politically motivated investigations.

Bondi’s testimony came two weeks after the Justice Department indicted disgraced former FBI Director James Comey for lying to Congress, and days after President Trump deployed National Guard troops to Chicago, Illinois and Portland, Oregon.

The attorney general clashed with Senators. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.),  Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), and other Democrats throughout the contentious hearing.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has vowed to take legal action against anyone in the federal government allegedly involved in monitoring his private phone records during Special Counsel Jack Smith’s “investigation” into Jan. 6.

The senator’s fiery remarks followed bombshell reports revealing that Smith and his team, as part of their so-called “Arctic Frost” investigation, allegedly tracked phone calls from multiple Republican lawmakers well after the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

Tuesday night on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Graham called the alleged surveillance an outrageous violation of his rights.

Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) is directing her attention to federal worker back pay in an apparent attempt to pull focus away from Jay Jones’s violent text messages. At the same time, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears‘s (R-VA) campaign continues to blast the Democratic ticket on Jones’s violent rhetoric.

Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have called on Democrats to force their candidate for attorney general, Jay Jones, to drop out of the election, after text messages surfaced where he said state House Speaker Todd Gilbert should get “two bullets to the head.” So far, he has not dropped out, and Democrats have been mum about holding him accountable for his violent rhetoric, frustrating conservatives further.

Spanberger has condemned her ticket mate’s violent rhetoric, but didn’t ask him to leave the ticket. Instead, she’s redirected her messaging to focus on the government shutdown, seizing on the opportunity to slam Republicans on a Trump administration memo threatening to withhold back pay from furloughed federal employees.

Fifty-two years ago, I found myself in a beautiful corner of central France as a camp counselor to twelve 8- and 9-year-old boys. Four were Algerian, and eight were French. I can still remember some of their names and faces: Kamal, Mohammed, Mustapha, Pierre, Michel, Nicholas, and Jean-Paul. It was a learning experience as well as a memorable one.

The camp lasted a month. I worked six days a week with one day off. On my day off, I would trek many kilometers to a small village called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon.

There, I enjoyed the peace and quiet of life away from twelve very active garçons (“boys”). I especially enjoyed several cups of robust café au lait, drunk leisurely with a croissant or a croque monsieur sandwich. While walking through the village or sitting at the café, I enjoyed observing the villagers. People-watching is one of my favorite pastimes. At the time, I was unaware that I was among a very special group of heroes and heroines.

A man was arrested with 200 “viable” explosives on Sunday. His target was a Catholic Mass known to be routinely attended by SCOTUS justices. Police found a manifesto expressing hatred for Christians, the Supreme Court, Jews and ICE.

It would have added to the 500+ attacks on churches since Roe v. Wade was overturned.

Within earshot of this arrest, the transgender would-be assassin of Justice Kavanaugh got leniency from a Biden-appointed judge. The judge, Deborah Boardman, sentenced the assassin to just eight years instead of the 30 recommended. The primary consideration was that the assassin identifies as transgender.

All this week, the public has witnessed astonishing behavior from authorities in Portland and Illinois. Violent members of Antifa in Portland commit crimes in plain view of police officers with impunity. Worse, they assault conservative reporters and police choose to arrest or blame the reporters.

You won’t see any pearl-clutching in coastal media newsrooms about the First Amendment implications of police arresting reporters who have been physically assaulted. They simply don’t count as “real” reporters. Also, “Antifa is just an idea,” they say.

Former Democrat Rep. Katie Porter hopes to replace term-limited California Governor Gavin Newsom but she almost stormed out of an interview when challenged on exactly how she intends to lure the Golden State’s Donald Trump voters to her side.

The Independent reports newly released footage of the California gubernatorial aspirant shows her getting testy and threatening to flee an interview as she grows increasingly flustered when pushed to detail her exact plans.

Followup questions left Porter looking a little pained and discombobulated as she clearly felt her interviewer be held beneath contempt for daring to challenge her.

The angry exchange came last month with journalist Julie Watts of CBS News California Investigates. It quickly went south when the reporter asked the former representative about her prospects of luring Republicans.

“What do you say to the 40 percent of California voters, who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for [President Donald] Trump?” Watts asked Porter.

The Challenge of Engaging Generation Z

Blurb: – from www.theblaze.com

David Harsanyi recently sounded the alarm in the New York Post that “Gen Z’s casual anti-Semitism is growing.” His warning has some merit, but it also reveals blind spots about the political context he prefers not to acknowledge.

Harsanyi isn’t wrong that ugly anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic rhetoric has surfaced in parts of the populist right. Plenty of very online commentators have insinuated — and in some instances insisted — that Charlie Kirk’s assassination was tied to Israel. Conspiracy theory claims circulate online that Jewish billionaires control conservative media, bribing or blackmailing Republicans into supporting Benjamin Netanyahu in Gaza no matter the cost.

Gen Z has broken old taboos. That’s healthy. But if Zoomers want to be taken seriously, they must separate legitimate criticism of US policy from adolescent conspiracy theories.

This is an “ugly turn,” but it didn’t appear out of thin air. Once the neoconservative gatekeepers lost their grip, a wider debate on the right was inevitable.

For decades, particular outlets and movement foundations policed what conservatives were allowed to say. That censorship has collapsed in the internet era, for better and worse.

I welcome the broader discussion on the right. It was overdue. But the opening comes with a price: young voices saying stupid and reckless things. Then again, establishment conservatives have spent years saying reckless things of their own. My own anthology of commentaries catalogs four decades of such elite nonsense — much of which never saw daylight in “respectable” venues such as National Review, Commentary, or the Wall Street Journal.

Suddenly Democrats who have long turned a blind eye to corruption within the Department of Justice (DOJ) are now worried about its weaponization.

Their timing could not be more disingenuous; it came during a hearing Tuesday, less than 24 hours after clear evidence that former President Joe “Autopen” Biden used the FBI to spy on Republicans. Documents show the FBI obtained cell phone records of eight Republican senators and a U.S. Representative for Jan. 4-8, 2021, as part of the “Arctic Frost” investigation. Arctic Frost eventually became Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s elector lawfare case against Trump.

The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood reported the following lawmakers were targeted: Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn; and Republican senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming. Some of these Republicans were in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday when Democrats had their great awakening while they were collecting testimony from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

  • Weber State University canceled its Unity Conference due to concerns over compliance with a new state law restricting discussions on diversity, equity, and inclusion topics outside of academic settings.
  • The cancellation sparked backlash over free speech and led to an alternative event, ‘Unity Conference: Uncensored version.’
  • The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression criticized the university for overinterpreting the law and limiting faculty speech.

Weber State University’s annual Unity Conference was recently canceled by administrators over concerns that its content would violate a new anti-diversity, equity and inclusion law in the state.

The irony? This year’s theme was on censorship.

The decision ignited a firestorm of debate about free speech and academic freedom — and prompted scholars to host an alternative event titled “Unity Conference: Uncensored version.”

… On Sunday, the police arrested a man outside of the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC, hours before the annual Red Mass held for Supreme Court justices to mark the start of their term.

Well, guess what: “During his arrest, Louis Geri threatened to ignite explosives and handed authorities pages of his notebook that, according to court records, expressed animosity toward the Catholic Church, Supreme Court justices, members of the Jewish faith and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.”

According to The Washington Post, the court papers allege Louis Geri, 41, of Arizona and New Jersey, warned the cops, “You might want to stay back and call the federales, I have explosives.”

Just wow:

The officer called over a sergeant with the bomb squad, court records show, who told Geri he had to move because there was an event. Geri — 41, of Vineland, New Jersey — said he knew about the event and continued to insist he had bombs.

“Do you want me to throw one out, I’ll test one out on the streets? I have a hundred-plus of them,” he told the sergeant, according to court records. “If you just step back, I’ll take out that tree. No one will get hurt, there will just be a hole where that tree used to be.”

When officers told Geri they were going to forcefully remove him if he did not leave, court documents show he responded by telling police that “several of your people are gonna die from one of these.”

WINCHESTER, Virginia—The one thing that has been consistent in covering Virginia’s off-year statewide elections since as far back as the year Republicans George Allen and Jim Gilmore ran for governor and attorney general, respectively, in 1993 is that the races really don’t start moving until September.

And when they do, they move fast.

Allen began that summer trailing badly in his race against Democrat Mary Sue Terry. Early polling showed her earning 56% support of Virginia’s voters to Allen’s 27%.

By September of that year, Allen had cut Terry’s lead from 18 percentage points to 6, according to the Mason-Dixon polling at that time that showed him trailing her 46%-40%.

Gilmore, who was running against Democrat Bill Dolan for attorney general, had also moved into a close race against Dolan.

Allen won by a whopping 58% of the vote to Terry’s 41%, marking the first time a Republican had won a statewide election since 1977. Gilmore defeated Dolan by 10 percentage points.

The aerobic freakout has begun inside the liberal media over the new owners of CBS News appointing “anti-woke” Bari Weiss to the new post of “Editor In Chief.” None of the CBS veterans want a new boss with a new ideology. They like pretending they don’t have an ideology. They call themselves courageously “independent.”

Paramount Chief Executive David Ellison wants to put CBS News firmly in the middle: “We want CBS to speak to that 70 percent of the audience that would really define themselves as center-left to center-right.”

In her initial memo to employees, Weiss stated several principles that are absolute anathema inside CBS: “Journalism that holds both American political parties to equal scrutiny,” and “Journalism that embraces a wide spectrum of views and voices so that the audience can contend with the best arguments on all sides of a debate.”

The anonymous leakers are already on fire. Jeremy Barr of The Guardian spread the early spurts: “CBS News veterans I’ve talked to are encouraging Bari Weiss to not mess with the Golden Goose(s) of 60 Minutes and CBS News Sunday Morning.”

If this were any other state (except for maybe New York), Katie Porter’s performance here would be detrimental to her gubernatorial aspirations. But because it’s California where Democrats could murder your mother in front of you and still get elected just so long as they aren’t Republican, she may have picked up 5% on the polls.

Not familiar with Rep. Katie Porter? She’s special:

She’s running in the Democrat primary to succeed Gavin Newscum as California governor. Newscum is attempting to subvert democracy with a scam to gerrymander California’s congressional districts even more gerrymandered than they already are, leaving 40+% of Republican Californians with only 9% of the congressional seats.

A question asked of all the candidates is if they agree with Newscum’s scheme, and if they care about the 40% of the state they are running to represent. Porter had her talking point prepared, but when the reporter followed up, she had her meltdown.

And we think that Chicago is a mess? Yes it is, but not as bad as Paris or France. What in the world is going on in that fabled nation? They can’t seem to keep a prime minister on the job. Let’s check the story:

 

French President Emmanuel Macron is running out of wiggle room. The abrupt resignation of his prime minister Monday — Macron’s fourth in more than a year of almost ceaseless political upheaval — puts the French leader in a bind.

 

None of the options now look appealing for Macron, from his perspective at least. And for France, the road ahead promises more of the political uncertainty that is eroding investor confidence in the European Union’s second-largest economy and is frustrating efforts to rein in France’s damaging state deficit and debts.

Takaichi is set to become the first female prime minister of Japan after she won the presidency of the Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan almost uninterrupted since 1955. Feminists on the left aren’t celebrating, however, as Takaichi has distinguished herself as a hard-line conservative.

“Japan has just elected its first female Prime Minister, a highly respected person of great wisdom and strength. This is tremendous news for the incredible people of Japan. Congratulations to all!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, signing his name at the end.

Trump’s congratulations are likely more than a simple nicety. Takaichi’s right-wing views are in line with those of her U.S. counterpart. She also boasts one of Trump’s best friends on the international stage as her mentor, the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

Takaichi is also known for her hard-line views on China, a key priority that plays into Trump’s vision for the Indo-Pacific region. She’s also expressed her opposition to immigration to Japan, one of Trump’s central issues.

Excerpt:

An FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shows that the FBI, under Joe Biden, spied on 8 Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.

Grassley said the 2023 investigation, which formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against President Trump, targeted 8 GOP Senators’ personal cell phones for “tolling data” tracking their use between January 4 and January 7, 2021.

According to a press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the FBI targeted 8 GOP Senators, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK),  Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA).

Excerpt:

The Biden FBI targeted eight Republican senators’ personal cell phone information as part of an investigation that evolved into lawfare against Donald Trump, new records published Monday show.

The agency document released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, indicates that the FBI sought and obtained the cell phone “tolling data” of eight GOP senators and Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., as part of its “Arctic Frost” inquiry in 2023. That investigation ultimately became Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s elector lawfare against Trump.

According to a Senate Judiciary Committee press release, the FBI obtained the data “about the senators’ phone use from January 4 through January 7, 2021.” The information, the presser noted, “shows when and to whom a call is made, as well as the duration and general location data of the call,” but “does not include the content of the call.”

The eight Senate Republicans targeted in the probe include Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming.

“Based on the evidence to-date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate,” Grassley said in a statement. “What I’ve uncovered today is disturbing and outrageous political conduct by the Biden FBI. The FBI’s actions were an unconstitutional breach, and Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel need to hold accountable those involved in this serious wrongdoing.”

Impeach Judge Who Let Would-Be SCOTUS Assassin Off Easy– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Last Friday, Judge Deborah Boardman of the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland shocked anyone with a conscience by imposing a comically light sentence on the young man, Nicholas Roske, who tried to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the spring of 2022, while also planning to kill two more of Kavanaugh’s conservative colleagues.

In doing so, she functionally condoned political violence — as long as it’s from the left — and based her decision, in large part, on her sympathy for the purported transgender status of the would-be assassin. In a year of preposterous district court decisions, this one takes the cake: Boardman gave a slap on the wrist to someone who planned and attempted the worst sort of political terrorism, it seems, because of her ideological sympathies. The decision is so potentially corrosive to our civic peace that Congress would be right to consider impeachment proceedings against Boardman.

As federal district judges have found increasingly novel and extreme ways to foil the Trump administration’s agenda, calls on the right for judicial impeachment have grown. Indeed, actual articles of impeachment have been introduced. This past spring, the chief justice himself denounced the movement. That he did so was imprudent — it’s not for judges to decide how Congress wields the impeachment power — but his basic argument was probably right. Going back to the start of the republic, there has been a general agreement that mere political disagreement is not enough to warrant impeaching a judge.

Chicago Bans ICE In Public Areas After Withholding Police Backup– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Fully embracing anarchy, Democrat leaders in Chicago, a sanctuary city; and in Illinois, a sanctuary state, are using every possible method to thwart federal immigration authorities from removing illegal aliens and curtailing rampant crime there.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issued an executive order Monday creating an ICE Free Zone, preventing ICE from using city property, such as parking lots, as staging areas, or for enforcement actions. City agencies are directed to use physical barriers like locked gates to limit access to city property, and report to the mayor any attempted use of city property for immigration enforcement. Chicago taxpayers will fund a city-wide distribution of “Know Your Rights” materials for employees, tenants, and security staff, training them to deal with federal agents wishing to use city property.

Gov. JB Pritzker announced the state filed a lawsuit Monday seeking a temporary restraining order to block President Donald Trump from using Illinois and Texas National Guard troops to manage crime in Chicago.

“Illinois is going to use every lever at our disposal to resist this power grab and get (DHS Sec. Kristi) Noem’s thugs hell out of Chicago,” Pritzker said in a Monday afternoon press conference. He also said several times that Texas troops should, “stay the hell out of Illinois.”

Over the weekend, Oct. 4, Border Patrol agents were conducting a patrol in Chicago when their vehicle was rammed by other vehicles and they were boxed in by 10 cars, according to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) statement.
