EXCERPT:

The US government on Monday ordered its agencies to stop using artificial intelligence tools from Chinese startup DeepSeek, as the countries race for dominance in the fast-moving sector.

A notice from the Department of Homeland Security announced the ban on products developed by DeepSeek — and tools created using DeepSeek by third parties — saying they must be removed from IT devices.

The department can issue direction to civilian agencies, but not the military or intelligence services. Washington’s Department of Defense did not respond to an AFP request for comment.

“DeepSeek’s models present multiple threat vectors,” said a document attached to Monday’s notice.

Use of DeepSeek AI tools “may result in the transfer of sensitive data to (China) if used by US government employees or vendors,” the department warned.

Feds Arrest 28 Registered Noncitizen Voters, All From List of 20,000 Sent to California – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

EXCERPT:

 

Remember how California Dems sneered at the list the Trump administration sent of 20,000 registered noncitizen voters who received ballots? Feds just arrested more than two dozen of them while Democrats continue to deny any of the voters are noncitizens.

Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, is tired of the lying propaganda coming from the likes of Secretary of State Shirley Weber (D-Calif.) and Attorney General Rob Bonta (D-Calif.). So on October 19, he pointed out that the most recently arrested registered noncitizen voters are just a drop in the bucket of the tens of thousands the feds identified in the blue state.

He posted, “28 people charged today. All 28 are on the list of 20,000+ likely noncitizen registrants we gave California last week. All 28 are still registered voters, and ballots are going out now. No, this isn’t the total number of noncitizen voters in California. Police can’t catch every speeder, but that doesn’t mean speeding isn’t widespread. 28 is what we could charge in a week. California must verify those 20,000 registrations before counting ballots. One illegal vote is too many.”

CNN is losing one of its longest-serving anchors as Christiane Amanpour announces her departure after 43 years with the network.

The chief international anchor, 68, is heading for the exit as CNN prepares for a takeover by Trump ally David Ellison. Her announcement included a message about preserving the network’s journalistic independence, though she did not mention the incoming owners.

“After many months of thought and a few sleepless nights, I have decided to separate from CNN, my partner of 43 fantastic years!” Amanpour said.

CNN Chairman Mark Thompson told employees he had been discussing the move with Amanpour for months.

“Christiane has thought carefully about this decision, and she and I have been discussing it for some months,” Thompson wrote in a memo.

“Like so many CNNers who will hear the news today, I’m very sorry to see her go, but I’ve come to accept that this is the right time for her, both personally and professionally.”

Amanpour said she “looks forward to interesting new projects down the line, and will always be rooting for CNN and maintaining its history of independent journalism. Remember: always be truthful, not neutral.”

EXCERPT:

The U.S. Dept. of Justice escalated its feud with California officials on Monday when it filed for a temporary restraining order over 20,000 likely noncitizen voters.

The DOJ is demanding that officials set aside the ballots from the list of people registered to vote but tagged by the Trump administration as possible noncitizens.

‘Once illegally cast ballots are counted and commingled with lawful votes, the resulting harm may be impossible to remedy.’

California previously refused the request from the Trump administration to either confirm the voters’ eligibility or set aside the 20,000 voters.

The DOJ filed for the temporary restraining order in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

“California not just refused to act; it made clear that it is committed to treating ballots from those likely noncitizens equal to ballots from American citizens, prompting this suit and motion that seeks commonplace election relief when ballots are called into question,” reads the filing from the DOJ.

EXCERPT:

Hidden-camera footage of a University of Central Oklahoma employee discussing how  diversity, equity and inclusion activities continue at the school despite a state law restricting it has prompted questions and concerns.

The conservative activism group Accuracy in Media on Oct. 5 published a four-minute edited video showing employee Shatima Bennett telling an undercover investigator for the group that she assists with DEI programming by allowing the students to organize the efforts.

“Technically my whole job is illegal if you want to be honest,” Bennett said in a conversational  manner.

She said the law “just made our jobs a little harder.” She is referring to Senate Bill 796, approved in 2025, which eliminated public funding for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs at Oklahoma’s public colleges and universities.

But DEI “hasn’t stopped because there are ways that the students are able to honor it,” Bennett said in the video. “These are student-led organizations. That’s kind of how it’s made legal.”

Conservatives oppose DEI, so we shouldn’t promote ‘viewpoint diversity,’ one professor says

Cornell University should not take proactive steps to recruit right-leaning scholars, according to a faculty report from the Committee on the Future of the American University.

The 238-page report, written by 18 faculty members, largely focused on changes to education, artificial intelligence, and the university’s relationship with the public.

“This report asks how the university must adapt to honor its quietly revolutionary purpose in American life. The answer cannot leave the university exactly as it is today,” the report said.

“Today’s pressures are too intense and the opportunities too promising to prioritize nostalgia over envisioning the future,” the authors stated.

Feds Have Ilhan Omar’s Personal Passport — But Not Her Official One– wltreport.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar just took another remarkable turn.

Federal investigators are now holding the Minnesota Democrat’s personal passport — and Fox News says they are also in possession of her DNA.

But there is an important distinction in the latest report.

Authorities do not have Omar’s official congressional passport.

That gap immediately fueled online speculation that Omar might have left the United States.

Fox’s sources pushed back on that theory.

They reportedly believe Omar remains inside the country and are not concerned that she fled. The fact that investigators do not hold her official passport is not evidence that she used it or left the United States.

That is the responsible line here: the personal passport and DNA are confirmed as evidence in federal hands through source-based reporting; the flight rumor is not.

EXCERPT:

WASHINGTON — The U.S.-Ukraine alliance is careening toward a possible breaking point, with Moscow strengthened by President Donald Trump’s recent rejection of new Russia sanctions and Kyiv undermined by disruptions in satellite support for its drones during the war.

Trump’s relationship with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has always been a moving target, while the Republican president has frequently boasted of his rapport with Russian leader Vladimir Putin. But relations between the U.S. and Ukraine appear to be at a new low, threatening to tip the balance of the war to Russia’s favor and imperil America’s security interests across the globe.

“At this moment in time, things look blacker than they ever had regarding this administration’s policy towards Russia and Ukraine,” said John Herbst, a former ambassador to Ukraine under President George W. Bush and now a scholar with the Atlantic Council.

Trump has been lobbing insults at Zelenskyy for over a week and turning to policies that benefit Putin, while Ukraine’s president has said he feels betrayed and worries for his country’s future. But the American president can still shift on Zelenskyy — especially as he faces bipartisan outrage from lawmakers — which Trump has done before.

Paris police imposed an overnight curfew on Monday in two areas of the capital, after a weekend of some of France’s worst rioting in years.

People may not enter or stay in Place de la Republique or the Les Halles shopping district from 11pm until 6am on Tuesday. Gatherings and demonstrations are barred from 8pm.

On Monday evening, police guarded the two spots and asked passers-by to take other routes.

Some people had their identity papers checked. A helicopter with a searchlight passed over Les Halles several times, and the streets stayed quiet.

The prime minister had earlier asked prefects to impose ‘very limited’ and ‘localized’ curfews to prevent more looting.

EXCERPT:

Paris, France – After nationwide protests turned violent, French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday night tried to strike a balance between acknowledging the concerns of students demanding changes to the education system and criticising rioters.

“Those who have destroyed property must pay. Those who have looted must reimburse their victims. Those who sought to bring down the republic will be held accountable,” Macron said.

But the president’s speech was not what Yanis, a 20-year-old from Ivry-sur-Seine, a suburb just southeast of Paris, wanted to hear.

“He gave his usual ‘bla bla bla speech’ without putting forward anything concrete,” he said. “We’ll be back on the streets anyway. There will be one demonstration after another until something changes – every weekend, without a break”.

As France grapples with widespread anger that bubbled over in the form of violent protests last weekend, appetite – at least among the country’s youth – for centrist politics of the kind that Macron represents appears to be rapidly shrinking.

I am running to be a senator who happens to be Muslim. And I think with his candidacy, we were just talking about qualifications. This is a man who holds a medical degree from Columbia University. This is a man who was a Rhodes Scholar, who got his doctorate in public health from Oxford University. I feel like he is one of the most qualified Senate candidates that we’ve seen in a long time. I think he does politics extremely well. And there has been these constant Islamophobic, these Islamophobic comments, around his candidacy. Trump called him a jihadist.

MELBOURNE, Australia — An Australian federal lawmaker remained in a hospital in a critical but stable condition, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Tuesday as he praised a barber who helped restrain a driver accused of deliberately hitting her.

Helen Haines, a 65-year-old independent politician, was struck by a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV on Monday outside her office in her electorate in the city of Wangaratta in Victoria state. The 43-year-old driver remained in police custody on Tuesday.

Albanese said he phoned local barber Ricky Jefferies, who had run from his store to help members of the public detain the suspect, to thank him on Tuesday for intervening.

“It’s a reminder that at the worst of times, we see the best of the Australian character,” Albanese said in Melbourne.

Jefferies had earlier told reporters he searched the driver’s pockets and removed a knife. Police confirmed a knife had been found. Jefferies also said he did not consider himself a hero.

“It was crazy,” he said. “I just ran out the front to see what was happening and … amazing members of the Wangaratta community who I know, or know most of them, and they were helping.”

Voters in oil-rich Alberta province in Canada held its vote Monday on whether or not to separate from the Canada and the far left leadership that is destroying our great northern neighbor.

The polls were held open late with the last scheduled late-closing location at 10 PM Alberta Time – or Mountain time in the US.

The results are being held until all voting locations are closed.

Alberta referendum ballot –

According to the Alberta Elections page:

This is a non-binding, consultative referendum. A “No” (Remain) result changes nothing legally. A “Yes” (Leave) majority would not start separation: under the federal Clarity Act and the Supreme Court’s 1998 Secession Reference, only a clear majority on a clear question obliges Ottawa and the provinces to negotiate — and any actual secession would require a constitutional amendment.

Either way, the political consequences arrive immediately; the legal ones, if any, would take years.

A tech giant backed out of a massive artificial intelligence data center project as its developer hunts for another power source.

Microsoft ended its plan to fund a supercomputer at Nscale’s roughly $2.7 billion AI data center in Loughton, England, which was set to be the largest in the U.K., the BBC reported Sunday. The pullback shows how power shortages are threatening data center build-out, as U.S. projects seeking to connect to PJM now take more than eight years on average to come online, according to Rocky Mountain Institute. (RELATED: Microsoft Boss Says ‘Every Carton Of Milk’ Faces More Safety Rules Than AI)

“We remain committed to our partnership with Nscale, including work to build robust digital infrastructure and support AI growth globally. This decision relates to a single site,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Nscale was told the Loughton site will not get grid power until the 2030s, the Telegraph reported. The Nvidia-funded company markets itself as “the only full stack sovereign AI infrastructure provider in the UK,” according to a statement from Nscale CEO Josh Payne on the company’s website.

Nscale did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
