EXCERPT:

A district in Georgia that covers parts of Milton, Roswell, and Alpharetta hasn’t had a significant Democrat challenger in more than 20 years, but the entry of a social media-savvy candidate who has attracted floods of out-of-state funding has suddenly made the race peculiar and one to watch.

Georgia House District 47 is currently led by state Rep. Jan Jones, a Republican member of the Georgia House of Representatives who has served as speaker pro tempore since 2010. She has held the district seat since 2013 but announced in February she would not seek reelection.

The Democrat candidate seeking to replace her, Lindsay DeFranco, is garnering lots of attention, and out-of-state funds, in what would otherwise be a sleepy district and a shoo-in for any Republican candidate.

DeFranco, who moved to Georgia with her husband in 2024, has a large social media following. She boasts 187,000 followers on Instagram, about 14,000 followers on her campaign Instagram account, and nearly 7,000 subscribers on her Lindsay DeFranco for Georgia YouTube channel.

She told the Daily Signal that her campaign is built around “a pretty simple idea [of] lower costs and higher standards.” The Democrat said she thinks she can win because “the issues we’re talking about aren’t exclusively Democratic or Republican issues.”

Undercover video captured canvassers aligned with Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) saying they don’t believe in asking about immigration status or actively encouraging self-identified noncitizens and felons to register and vote. All of that, of course, is completely illegal.

Everyone knows that Arizona elections are incredibly corrupt. There is still a very significant Republican population in the state, and it voted for Donald Trump both in 2016 and 2024, and yet for some reason Democrats keep winning state and local offices. At a certain point we have to ask: is Democrat control of Arizona dependent entirely upon fraud? Would Katie Hobbs ever have become governor if it were not for fraud?

Muckraker’s team caught the Democrat activists on video and subsequently confronted them about their support of illegal voting. In the compilation of clips below, you will notice one man who specifically talks about supporting Hobbs, and who says he never gets into asking about immigration status. He seems to imply that noncitizens are included in the Democrat voting base.

When one of the undercover journalists claimed he was a convicted felon, a canvasser waved that off as if it were not an issue and encouraged him to register anyway. Yet another woman told the undercover journalist that he should share the QR code for registering to vote online with Canadian friends.

Muckraker identified the canvassers as being from the AFL-CIO union, Hobbs-aligned Worker Power and Stand Indivisible Arizona, and the Democratic National Committee’s When We Count.

EXCERPT:

On Tuesday afternoon, MS NOW host Alicia Menendez and contributor Jason Johnson marveled over Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el-Sayed’s response to a question about whether he has sympathy for the Muslim Brotherhood. Menendez set up the segment:

Abdul el-Sayed is no stranger to confrontation on the campaign trail. As he stumps across Michigan, the Democratic Senate candidate is met almost regularly with critics hoping to catch him off balance for a viral moment. His Saturday town hall in Michigan, just northeast of Flint, was no different until it was because this time el-Sayed turned a heckler into a campaign highlight.

The show played a clip of an audience member, whom Menendez later identified as a former employee of Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), asking el-Sayed if he would “disavow” the Muslim Brotherhood, followed by the Michigan Democrat challenging the questioner on why he does not ask the same question of non-Muslims.

Bringing aboard MS NOW contributors Jason Johnson and Paola Ramos, Menendez noted that the video clip had gone viral with millions of views, and then posed: “A moment like this, I get what Tommy was going for, but I wonder if it actually ends up becoming a gift for el-Sayed?”

An Alabama woman, who describes herself as a “masc lesbian,” faces federal charges after allegedly threatening to shoot President Donald Trump if he attended an Alabama–Georgia football game in Tuscaloosa, according to a criminal complaint filed in the Northern District of Alabama.

Megan Lorraine Utz allegedly shared a news story about Trump’s planned appearance and wrote: “He’s not allowed in my stadium! I’ll put a bullet through him if he dares.”

The October 8 complaint obtained by The Post Millennial charges Utz with threats against the president and threatening communications.

EXCERPT:

A new Fox News poll of Texas likely voters finds Democratic Party nominee James Talarico and Republican nominee Ken Paxton tied at 49 percent each in the state’s closely-watched U.S. Senate race. This represents a change from the network’s September survey, in which Talarico held a 51 percent to 49 percent advantage among likely voters.

The October poll was conducted from October 15-19 among a sample of 2,011 registered voters, of whom 1,398 were identified as likely voters. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points for the likely-voter subsample.

The movement from a two-point Talarico lead to a tie is associated with gains by Paxton among conservatives, rural voters, suburban women, and Republicans who supported Cornyn in the primary. Compared with the September Fox News poll, Paxton’s support rose by one point among both men and women, while Talarico’s support fell by one point among men and two points among women.

The Department of English will host this new hire, which will also give them an opportunity to teach in the gender studies and ethnic studies programs. These programs were collapsed last year into the English department due to budget issues and low enrollment.

“Candidates with relevant expertise may also contribute to our department’s programs in Comparative Race and Ethnic Studies and Women and Gender Studies as well as the program in Digital Culture/Digital Analytics and other interdisciplinary initiatives,” the posting states.

The College Fix reached out to Texas Christian University for a comment regarding how the job listing fits into the department’s learning goals and with the school’s mission as a private, Christian institution.

The Love Life Details That Would Destroy a Male Politician — But Haven’t Touched Maura Healey – RedState– redstate.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

 

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey is up for reelection next month. Some details of her personal life have drawn far less scrutiny than they likely would have for a male politician in the same position.

Critics argue the media coverage has been noticeably softer, if not outright absent, due to the fact that she is a woman and has been celebrated as the first openly lesbian governor in the United States. As if that is some sort of qualification for the job.

Healey spent roughly a dozen years in a relationship with Massachusetts Appeals Court Judge Gabrielle Wolohojian that ended in 2019, while Healey was still attorney general. A few years later, she nominated Wolohojian to the Supreme Judicial Court, a move the Boston Globe’s editorial board at the time called dreadful on optics grounds and one that raised obvious questions about recusal.

“Surely a smart politician like Governor Maura Healey knows that optics count. And surely she also had to know that the optics around nominating her former longtime partner to the state’s highest court are just dreadful,” the board wrote, though it contends Wolohojian had the qualifications.

Rumors have circulated about the reasons for Healey and Wolohojian’s 2019 split, though none have been confirmed. Regardless of that background, the Globe contends that it’d be nearly impossible for bias not to creep into Wolohojian’s work.

EXCERPT:

A swimming robot does not necessarily need a bulky motor or powerful mechanical parts to move through water. MIT researchers have demonstrated that a single, carefully engineered layer of living muscle cells can generate enough force to propel a tiny robot forward.

The engineers developed an extremely thin swimming robot that uses living muscle tissue to move its fins. Described in a new study published in Advanced Functional Materials, the device has a flexible gel framework roughly the length and width of a stick of gum. The gel forms two fins, each coated with a layer of muscle cells far thinner than a human hair. These cells have been genetically modified to contract when exposed to light.

By directing light onto either fin, the researchers can trigger muscle contractions that make the fin flap and push the robot through water. Adjusting which fin receives light and how frequently it is illuminated allows the team to control both its speed and direction.

In experiments, the remarkably thin robot successfully swam and turned through a simple underwater maze. At maximum speed, it covered approximately four times its body length per minute. Although that is much slower than an Olympic swimmer, who can travel up to 65 body lengths per minute, it is comparable to the swimming pace of a cow shark moving leisurely through the ocean.

“It takes a lot of force to move through water versus air,” says study author Ritu Raman, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT. “The robot’s quite strong, given its size. ”

James Talarico Wants To Win Texas In Republican Drag– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico doesn’t want you to change his mind. He wants you to change yours, and he’s betting Texas Republicans are gullible enough to fall for the packaging.

Conservative commentator Steven Crowder has filed a lawsuit against CNN and Jubilee over their use of “Change My Mind,” the slogan Crowder made famous through his political debate videos.

According to Newsweek, Crowder says his trademark brand and format are being used to help Talarico ingratiate himself with conservative voters. Crowder initially threatened legal action against Talarico, CNN, and Jubilee, but the reported lawsuit names the two media companies as defendants. The Louder with Crowder host also argued in an episode of his show last week that CNN is peddling the falsehood that the format, which he created in 2017, is a “unique” concept that will “change town halls” in the future.

 

Whether Crowder’s lawsuit succeeds is for the courts to decide. From the trademark to the iconography of the “Change My Mind” meme, which features a photo of Crowder sitting at a folding table outside Texas Christian University in February 2018, the conservative commentator certainly has a trail of evidence to support his claims. Still, owning a trademark does not automatically establish that every similar phrase or debate format infringes it. The court will have to consider the scope of Crowder’s rights and the specific use by CNN and Jubilee.

EXCERPT:

TOKYO – When Chinese stocks lose a South Korea-sized sum in five months, Beijing has a problem.

The US$2.4 trillion plunge in market value since May sits between Korea’s $2.25 trillion GDP and Canada’s $2.49 trillion. Many factors could explain Chinese shares entering bear market territory, but a major one is a protracted slump in consumption and property. External pressure is also mounting as the AI trade wobbles.

The irony is that China keeps winning the AI innovation race while its stock market gets nothing from it. The CSI 300 index is down 11% this year, while the Taipei and Seoul bourses are up 59% and 31%, respectively.

Since the “DeepSeek shock” of January 2025, Chinese labs have repeatedly impressed. July’s launch of Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 proved DeepSeek was no aberration, and Stanford’s Institute for Human-Centered AI recently concluded that China is rapidly eroding America’s lead.

Samm Sacks of Johns Hopkins’ School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) calls the gap between US and Chinese models “narrow and fragile.”

This week, DeepSeek raised roughly $15 billion, setting the stage for one of China’s most anticipated IPOs in years. Yet shares in AI developers MiniMax and Z.AI (Zhipu) are being hammered daily, just as more listings enter the pipeline.

It’s getting more difficult by the day to pretend that Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed never had any association with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Oh, sure, he gets really huffy on stage or during interviews when anyone confronts him about it. He mocks his Republican opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers, for even bringing up his ties to the organization, calling it Islamophobic: “We had a little debate. Or I had a debate and he just pointed at me and said, ‘He’s Muslim,’” he told a crowd on Thursday.

However, we have statements by El-Sayed in support of the terrorist organization, including his remarks during his college years and an essay for HuffPost in 2011 that said Muslim Brotherhood rule of Egypt would be perfectly fine.

The United States is the greatest threat to Canada’s Arctic sovereignty

On the north shore of Burrard Inlet, at the Vancouver shipyards, the mighty CCGS Imnaryuaq is finally taking shape. On Oct. 14, a “keel laying” ceremony was held as the first module of the 158-metre-long polar icebreaker was set in place. Over the next few years, the rest of the ship will be assembled around that section.

Defence Minister David McGuinty marked the milestone by asserting that “Canada’s Arctic sovereignty depends on our ability to be present, to operate, and to respond.”

Most people – and Mr. McGuinty might be among them – think that the greatest threats to Canada’s Arctic sovereignty come from Russia and China. That’s not actually the case. The greatest threat has always been the United States, and while we could never match the world’s most powerful military, we can, by demonstrating our will to secure the Canadian Arctic against all threats, deny them any excuse to deploy there.

At a keel laying ceremony in North Vancouver on Oct. 16, a member of the Squamish Nation performed a traditional cedar brushing on a section of the keel of the CCGS Imnaryuaq polar icebreaker.

It goes on and on,” says Mari Annala, an ecologist from the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation (SLL), looking at drone footage of the former forest from the perimeter

I’ll have to check with Troons for Gaza. But for the sake of this clip involving social media influencer Rep. AOC, it’s trans > actual girls who were born that way.

The super genius influencer who has a side hustle as a member of Congress, and the Woman-American who coined the phrase “Woke 1” to describe how craaaaaaazy the left used to be, claims she still supports boys who claim to be girls because of “bodily autonomy.”

When one has a woo-woo and the other has a wee-wee, I don’t think autonomy means what she thinks it means. But forget it, she’s rolling.

The main trans compromise on the left between “Woke 1” and reality is when it comes to sports. And that, begrudgingly, Democrats admitted that mayhaps normie-Americans had a point when, citing science, they said that it’s unfair to let people born boys compete against people born (and who are) girls.

When the glass doors withstood the blows and did not break, the suspect tore down a yard sign, set it on fire, and attempted to push the burning sign underneath the doors in an effort to start a fire inside the building.

University essay series argues Trump administration is creating ‘regime of forgetting’

A history scholar at the University of Michigan criticized the federal government’s efforts to portray the United States in a positive light for the nation’s 250th anniversary, claiming during a webinar Tuesday that doing so “aims to conceal difficult but necessary truths.”

The “History in a Time of Forgetting” webinar, which The College Fix attended, kicked off an essay series of the same name focused on areas of history that the authors claim are a target of the Trump administration.

Jennifer Brady, director of the university’s Inclusive History Project, opened the webinar by criticizing the administration’s efforts to focus on the positive and unique qualities of the United States for the nation’s 250th anniversary.

The central thesis of the “History in a Time of Forgetting” series is that the Trump administration is creating barriers in order to push a “particular version of U.S. history,” she said.

Brady called this a “regime of forgetting,” a term that she said refers to powerful institutions making history more difficult for the public to remember. Examples of this include failing to create or maintain archives, neglecting to consider certain perspectives, cutting projects’ funding, or even threatening “retaliation for sharing knowledge that complicates a preferred narrative,” Brady said.

She accused the federal government of taking “concerted steps to shape and disseminate a version of the nation’s history that erases essential parts of our shared national past, and that aims to conceal difficult but necessary truths.”

The essay series is “a call to those who seek to resist the rise of a singular and exclusionary history,” she said.

As France’s economic and political woes mount, investors are asking whether the country’s debt problems risk contaminating the rest of the euro zone.

Markets are flashing alarm bells over the euro zone’s second-biggest economy. The euro has remained under pressure, falling almost 5% against the dollar since the start of the year.

France’s benchmark borrowing cost, the yield on its 10-year bond, rose above 5% for the first time since 2002 this week before moving sharply higher.

Meanwhile, the spread between French and German 10-year bond yields — a closely watched metric of distress — reached more than 170 basis points on Thursday for the first time since the euro zone debt crisis of the early 2010s. The cost of insuring the French government against default, as measured by credit default swaps, is also the highest since that period.

But it is solely a Prop 1 ad, using Prop 1’s logo and messaging, with no mention of Pickens or the Democratic Party. Idaho Secretary of State records show that the money for the ad, more than $620,000, came from the Prop 1 campaign and was funneled to the Idaho Democratic Party.

Why the subterfuge? Because political parties and individual candidates pay dramatically lower rates, sometimes as much as a 70 percent discount, for ads than issue campaigns – such as Prop 1 and Stop Prop 1 – do.

EXCERPT:

A federal judge on Thursday ordered US President Donald Trump to sit for a deposition by 11 December in his $10 billion (€8.6 billion) defamation lawsuit against the BBC.

The order by US Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett came after the BBC’s lawyers accused Trump of delaying his appearance.

Trump could face sanctions, including the possible dismissal of his lawsuit, if he fails to comply, unless the discovery period is extended beyond 18 December.

Charles Tobin, an attorney representing the BBC, said that with two months left in the discovery period, “we still haven’t been able to depose the plaintiff.”

Tobin said Trump had initially agreed to be deposed on 16 October but cancelled, citing a “matter of national importance.” However, the president was campaigning in Georgia that day, according to the lawyer.

“He was participating in party politics and prioritized that over sitting for the deposition,” Tobin said.

Trump filed a lawsuit against the BBC in December 2025, accusing the British broadcaster of defamation and deceptive and unfair trade practices over a documentary titled “Trump: A Second Chance.”

Los Angeles County election officials admitted in a federal court filing Tuesday that they have no independent way to verify voter citizenship beyond the voter’s own attestation. The intensifying case, which was initially assigned to a Trump-appointed judge, was transferred to a Clinton-appointed judge on Wednesday.

Assistant Registrar Monica Flores stated the office is “not equipped or authorized” to verify citizenship because it does not independently house immigration, travel, or naturalization records.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli called this a “massive concession” in a statement on X, pointing out that Under federal law, only citizens may vote.

“Yet California has not acted on the list of 20,000 suspected noncitizens or agreed to set aside their ballots,” Essayli wrote. “American citizens’ votes are being diluted in California.”

Governor Gavin Newsom’s press office (D.) countered on X that California has complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which permits reliance on sworn voter statements rather than independent documentary verification.

“18 U.S.C. § 611: It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for federal office,” Essayli posted in response. “18 U.S.C. § 2: Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission is punishable as a principal.”

Look, I understand that the principles of plausible deniability goes a long way in Washington, D.C. I get that a well-placed “I have no recollection of that, senator” is sometimes a heck of a lot better than a yes or a no, especially if you’re under oath.

However, if the question is whether you married a man who is your brother and the response is “not to my knowledge,” come on. 

You probably already know who and what I’m talking about, but for the uninitiated, the rumor that Minnesota Democratic Rep.

Moreover, the Post’s Miranda Devine noted that she had a source that had confirmed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, Omar’s second husband, was also her brother, but that her informant was scooped up by the FBI under President Joe Biden:
