EXCERPT:

Vogel has been involved with Rose City Antifa for nearly a decade.

A federal judge has sentenced a veteran Rose City Antifa member to one year of probation for a 2025 attack at the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Portland, Oregon. Katherine Meagan Vogel, 39, pleaded guilty in July to forcibly intefering with a federal law enforcement officer on September 30, 2025. The incident occurred at the height of the infamous months-long anti-ICE occupation.

Vogel was captured on surevillance video dumping red paint all over the ICE driveway and on the sidewalk in front of the facility. When federal officers mobilized out of the gates to arrest Vogel for property damage, she resisted arrest and punched one of the officers in the face with a closed fist, according to the complaint.

The officer was not injured, according to court documents.

If you’re like me, you constantly see ads for Temu products. They promise things that are stylish, clever, useful, cute, or whatever it is you’re looking for, and they’re all so very cheap. But while you’re buying their product, it turns out that this Chinese company may well be harvesting your information and laundering it to the CCP. Now, though, at least in Texas, Temu can’t do that anymore.

Temu was unknown a few years ago, so it’s worth looking at its history to understand how it suddenly became so ubiquitous. It all started in 2015, when Colin Huang, a Chinese- and American-educated tech guy who also worked at Google, founded Pinduoduo, an e-commerce business he later rebranded as PDD Holdings. It is now one of China’s largest online shopping businesses.

While PDD is a publicly traded company, and Huang (no longer in leadership but still holding significant equity) is not a member of the Chinese government, that doesn’t mean PDD has no government ties. PDD has significant ties to the CCP because several former CCP officials are (or have been) among PDD’s top executives. Moreover, like all China-based companies, it must comply with CCP intelligence agencies when directed under the National Intelligence Law.

In September 2022, PDD launched Temu, a global version of the Chinese company. Its purpose is to connect consumers directly with inexpensive, usually Chinese-made merchandise. It grew at a near-exponential rate thanks to low prices, a huge advertising budget, cute games that drove bargains, cheap international shipping via a loophole Trump finally closed, and piggybacking on PDD’s supply chains.

The European Union has awarded its top human rights prize to the International Criminal Court (ICC), the international tribunal in The Hague that has come under attack from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

The European Parliament announced on Thursday that it was awarding the 2026 Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought to the ICC and its officials.

The decision “recognizes the Court’s important work in upholding international law and justice,” Roberta Metsola, president of the European Parliament, said in a written statement.

EXCERPT:

Macron begins by acknowledging there were some “shortcomings” in response to last weekend’s protests, with “an element of surprise.” He says the government needs to learn from that and apply it to this weekend’s events.

He says that local authorities have been empowered to adopt local measures, such as bans on gatherings, and the judicial system is “fully mobilised” to respond to events.

The president backs the justice ministry’s call for seeking harsh punishments for those involved in the riots.

He then makes it very clear what he makes of the riots:

“We witness both political and even seditious acts carried out by organised ultra-left groups aiming to bring down the Republic – acts that these groups themselves openly claim, characterised by extreme, intense violence.”

EXCERPT:

Is this the ballgame for Ilhan Omar? The Minnesota Democrat has gone into the bunker ever since federal agents searched her D.C. residence last Monday. The search warrant was framed as political persecution, a talking point that died a quick death: a Democrat judge signed it, and such searches aren’t approved unless the evidence is damning. Federal agents confiscated Omar’s passport, phone, and computer. The major development in the investigation into Omar, at least regarding the immigration fraud allegations, stems from her sister’s text messages, and federal agents seized her device before the search.

Federal agents were reportedly dumpster diving through Omar’s trash, looking for DNA evidence. Was something else going on? We know that evidence was obtained, and that thing about marrying her brother that the liberal media dismissed as a conspiracy theory — it might be true. Also, we’ve learned the trash sifting was not for DNA (via NY Post):

Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post.

People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities.

One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card — which never came to fruition.

EXCERPT:

We now have confirmation that James Talarico is no different than the rest of the insane Democrats right now who want to completely destroy our institutions.

Remember when Democrats accused Trump of destroying our precious norms? That is actually what they want to do.

During a Q and A with a reporter for FOX News, Talarico said that he supports the idea of changing the U.S. Supreme Court, adding term limits, adding judges, and more. He said the court ‘needs to be overhauled.’

The National News Desk reports:

Another comment Talarico previously made was that there are six genders, which he addressed.

“I’ve missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it,” he said. “What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there’s a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities.”

“Obviously didn’t say it correctly. There are not six sexes. There are two, and I think the reason that politicians in that convention center across the street want to talk about six sexes is because they don’t want to talk about $6 diesel,” Talarico added.

Meanwhile, Talarico said the Supreme Court was “infected” with corruption, and that it “needs to be overhauled.”

If elected, Talarico said, “You’re going to expect that I will vote for overhaul to the Supreme Court. That will include binding codes of conduct for our justices. It’ll include term limits, and I am open to a discussion about expanding the number of justices.”

Yemeni government forces and allied Popular Resistance fighters clashed with Houthi fighters on the western outskirts of Taiz on Wednesday, 21 October, near the city’s old airport and Jabal Han mountain. The internationally recognised government said its forces repelled the attack, while reporting air strikes on Houthi positions, vehicles and a missile launchpad west, south and east of the city.

Footage showed a government tank firing towards Houthi positions as gunfire echoed across the area. The fighting comes as Taiz, Yemen’s third-largest city, faces mounting pressure from Houthi forces, which have largely encircled it and cut key supply routes, including the main road to Aden, the interim capital of the internationally recognised government.

The restrictions have also disrupted access to the city’s main landfill, leaving rubbish to pile up along major streets. Sanitation workers say they can no longer reach the dumping site because of the clashes and have resorted to burning waste in the streets.

EXCERPT:

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is begging her supporters to keep sending money as she faces a federal investigation into her citizenship and finances, portraying the probe as an effort by President Donald Trump to intimidate her before the midterms.

In a video message, Omar thanked donors and warned of an expensive “fight” following the search of her Washington, D.C., home more than a week earlier.

Omar said donations would help her “fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many other people right before the midterm elections.”

Her appeal continued a political retaliation argument she has repeatedly advanced.

However, the investigation began under former President Joe Biden’s administration.

DIMONA, Israel: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday (Oct 21) that the only way to remove the threat posed by Iran was to topple its government.

“Iran wanted to destroy us; we stopped them. They wanted to produce nuclear bombs; we stopped them … Yet they persist,” he said during an election rally in the southern town of Dimona. “Therefore, there is only one way to end this: by toppling this regime.”

“This is the directive I have issued to the Israel Defence Forces, to the Mossad, and to all our security branches,” he added, without specifying when or how that directive would be executed.

The sabre-rattling came as the premier headed into the last week of a tight race for re-election.

Netanyahu had instructed the Israeli military to plan for resumed strikes against Iran earlier this month, according to sources cited by the Financial Times on Wednesday, but US President Donald Trump reportedly objected to the idea.

EXCERPT:

Once upon a time, calling to pack the Supreme Court with more justices for partisan gain was viewed as such a radical idea that few politicians would even consider it. Today, it has become mainstream in the Democrat Party.

Throughout the past year, Democrats far and wide have resuscitated plans to increase the number of justices on the high court as a means of garnering decisions favorable to their party. From potential 2028 presidential contenders to congressional leadership, these officials have made clear their intention to pack the court should they reclaim Congress and the White House in the next few elections.

With Americans currently heading to the polls for this year’s midterms, The Federalist has assembled a guide assessing where every major Democrat Senate candidate stands on the issue. While some candidates have already openly entertained court-packing, others have chosen to hide their position from voters.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — A foreign citizen was beaten to death by a group of around 50 people during a protest march in South Africa’s east coast city of Durban, police said Thursday, as anti-immigrant tensions continue to flare in Africa’s most advanced economy.

Police said the group approached the man, who was standing at the side of a road during a march through the streets of Durban’s city center, and assaulted him.

Police did not immediately give the man’s nationality or details on what the march was related to. They said the victim was in his 30s or early 40s, and they were still trying to identify suspects in the attack.

South Africa has struggled with months of anti-immigration tensions. Marches calling for government action against migrants in the country illegally have sometimes spilled over into violence.

Canada has announced a $6.2 billion (€5.7 billion) package to protect its steel and auto industries from US tariffs, as Prime Minister Mark Carney warned that Washington has permanently altered a trade relationship built over decades.

Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford jointly unveiled the plan on Wednesday, directing $3.7 billion (€3.4 billion) to steelmakers and $1.8 billion (€1.65 billion) to automakers over five years, with $1.1 billion (€1 billion) of the auto funding coming from the federal government in Ottawa.

The announcement came the same day US-owned Cleveland-Cliffs confirmed layoffs at its Hamilton, Ontario, plant, underlining the human cost of the trade dispute.

“US tariffs have upended a trade bargain that’s existed for decades,” Carney said. “They’ve raised costs for American families while putting Ontario workers and businesses at a disadvantage.”

The damage to the auto sector is already visible in the trade figures, as Canadian auto exports to the US have fallen more than 10 percent, while US exports to Canada have dropped more than 20 percent, a decline Carney said hurts both sides of the border.

Iranian parliamentarians overwhelmingly approved the appointment of Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi, 68, as the country’s new defense chief on Sunday.

Akhlaghi studied chemical engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology and then spent more than four decades working in Iran’s military industries, holding senior positions in the Shahid Bagheri Industrial Group, the Aerospace Industries Organization  – which has worked on missile development in cooperation with Russia, China and North Korea –  and the Defense Industries Organization.

He worked with Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander widely regarded as the father of Iran’s missile industry.

Akhlaghi has been under international sanctions since 2007 because of his involvement in Iran’s missile programs.

EXCERPT:

If Democrats win control of the House in the midterms, leaders of the moderate New Democrat Coalition expect their 114-member bloc, already the largest ideological faction among House Democrats, to grow and advance its artificial intelligence agenda. The consultant raising money for the coalition’s political arm also runs a corporate-backed nonprofit that brings executives from Anthropic, Nvidia, and Oracle into private discussions with congressional staff and advises a tech industry group that seeks to shape the party’s AI agenda.

Helen Milby is the longtime treasurer and top paid fundraising adviser to the New Democrat Coalition Action Fund, a PAC that supports the coalition’s candidates. She also runs GlobalWIN, a bipartisan nonprofit with partners including Anthropic and a16z that sponsors congressional travel, private dinners, and policy discussions that connect lawmakers with business executives. Milby also serves on the advisory board of the tech industry group Chamber of Progress, whose corporate backers include Google, OpenAI, and Coinbase and which says it wants to “shape the kind of Democrats who win in 2026.”

These overlapping roles give the tech industry channels into both the electoral operation working to expand the New Democrats and the private policy conversations that reach their staff and members. The Action Fund has endorsed 50 candidates this cycle, including 36 of the 46 in the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s Red to Blue program of districts it aims to flip. Its website says it has raised and bundled more than $12 million this cycle for its candidates. “We expect that our numbers are going to swell in the next Congress,” Action Fund Chair Greg Stanton, an Arizona Democrat, told Roll Call this month.

EXCERPT:

A conservative editorial board threw cold water on one of President Donald Trump’s latest diplomatic wins, warning his team was getting played.

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board wrote Wednesday that there is “no cause to be grateful” to Russian President Vladimir Putin for freeing Stephen Hubbard, a retired American teacher jailed in Russia since 2022. Trump said Wednesday that Putin let Hubbard go after a personal plea from the president and asked for nothing in return.

The board welcomed Hubbard home but argued the Russian leader “takes Western hostages as part of his statecraft.” The editorial laid out a pattern. Putin seizes someone, slaps them with bogus charges, secures a conviction in a rigged court and then frees or swaps them whenever it suits him.

The board pointed to The Journal’s own reporter, Evan Gershkovich, whom Putin used as a bargaining chip to win back an assassin held in Germany. It also noted that Russian security services detained a Japanese reporter just last week, possibly to pressure Tokyo.

Putin didn’t need anything new for Hubbard because he has “already been piling up concessions” from Trump while escalating his war on Ukraine, Europe and NATO, the editorial argued. Among them, the board listed loosened U.S. sanctions on diesel sales, waived sanctions in a bill from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and what its sources described as intermittent limits on Ukraine’s access to Starlink.

German Federal Police recorded 98,026 crimes at train stations and on trains in the first half of 2026, with foreign nationals substantially overrepresented among identified suspects in violent, property and sexual offenses relative to their share of the population. In the crime of sexual offenses, foreigners represented 53 percent of suspects.

The figures, provided by the Interior Ministry in response to a parliamentary inquiry from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) group, exclude high-volume offenses such as fare evasion. They include roughly 14,000 violent crimes, 1,104 sexual offenses, about 24,000 property crimes, approximately 16,000 cases of property damage, nearly 4,500 drug offenses, and 796 weapons offenses, according to German newspaper Berliner Zeitung.

For sexual offenses, 53 percent of known suspects were non-German, with Syrians, Poles and Afghans again ranking highest.

Pope Leo XIV got good news from his doctors: The pontiff will need no further treatment for lung cancer after follow-up tests confirmed the disease was localized, the Vatican said in a statement Wednesday.

Leo, 71, had the lower lobe of his right lung removed last week in the first major health event of his 17-month pontificate. The surgery confirmed he had adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer. Leo was discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic on Saturday, four days after surgery, and said he would gradually resume his activities.

The pope’s personal physician, Dr. Luigi Carbone, and his surgeon, Dr. Stefano Margaritora, said in a statement that results of the final post-operative tests on tissue removed during the pope’s surgery confirmed the diagnosis and that the cancer had not spread.

“A subsequent oncology assessment confirmed that no further treatment is necessary,” the doctors said.

PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron said Wednesday that foreign leaders — including those “on the other side of the Atlantic” — are trying to exploit France’s tense social climate for their own political agenda.

Protests over soaring living costs have led to widespread rioting and looting in France.

U.S. President Donald Trump has used the violence to rally his political supporters, making unsubstantiated claims that Muslim migrants are responsible for the unrest, and urging Macron to “close your borders and take control before it is too late!”

Macron responded by saying there “has been foreign manipulation of information in the aftermath” of the looting in Paris and other French cities last weekend.

“And that has led to comments that are as unacceptable as they are stupid, from many people, including foreign leaders,” he said.

Asked by a reporter if he was referring to Trump, Macron replied: “Among others.”

Students, teachers and public-sector workers marched through central Athens on Wednesday, demanding more funding for education, smaller classes, better facilities and affordable student housing.

Aerial footage showed crowds filling major streets as protesters made their way from the University of Athens towards the Greek Parliament. Some banners written in French reflected the Greek protesters’ solidarity with, and inspiration from, recent student demonstrations in France. Organisers presented the march as part of a broader European movement calling for better-funded education, affordable housing and relief from rising living costs.

Police officers, including riot police carrying shields, accompanied the march and blocked nearby roads. Some shops and cafés closed their shutters as a precaution.

The demonstration was part of a nationwide protest movement, with rallies also held in Thessaloniki, Patras, Larissa and Crete. Police estimated that around 10,000 people took part in Athens and its suburbs, although organisers claimed a higher turnout.
