A small North Carolina town saw two churches set on fire Friday night.

The fires took place near Casar, a town of about 300 people located northwest of Charlotte.

According to a Facebook post from the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, the fires were set between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Tabernacle Baptist Church and Calvary’s Cross Baptist Church were both targeted, the post said.

“Fortunately, both fires were spotted by citizens who quickly put the fire out before significant damage occurred. These events are still under investigation,” the post said.

… In the lead-up to the “No Kings” protests on Oct. 18, the Democrats faced fierce perceptual headwinds — and from multiple directions, too. First, their own base despised ‘em for committing the one unforgivable sin: They lost the popular vote to “literally Hitler.”

That’s problematic, because modern elections are increasingly won or lost on turnout. It’s less about wooing the undecideds and more about ginning up the diehards.

But in the DNC’s eyes, there was no need to panic because American elections are binary decisions: It doesn’t matter how much you hate your own party — as long as you hate the other party more! And although President Trump has done a great deal to demotivate the left, he hasn’t converted them to his side. (Trump’s approval rating amongst liberals still hovers in the single digits.)

The fight against euthanasia reached a new level yesterday, as Fox News published an article that blows the lid off the sinister nature of the industry.

Reporter Asra Nomani has just published an investigative report detailing the predatory-like behavior of what she calls “Assisted Suicide Inc.”

“A Fox Digital investigation reveals … opponents of euthanasia face a multimillion-dollar global lobby that could be called Assisted Suicide Inc., a sprawling network changing laws worldwide, developing euthanasia services for funeral parlors, selling ‘suicide pods,’ promoting ‘suicide tourism’ and even training ‘doulas for death,’” she writes.

Reflecting on her recent sentencing of over a year’s house arrest for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, Tamara Lich laid bare the fact that when all is said in done seven years of her life will have been spent in a government-imposed “lockdown” in one form or another.

Last Friday on X, Lich wrote, “I did the math this morning.”

“Between the ‘pandemic,’ our bail conditions, and now our sentence, @ChrisBarber1975 and I will have been in lockdown, in one form or another, for a total of seven years by the time we complete our sentences,” she noted.

Last week as well, Lich launched what she called her “house arrest” podcast, with her fellow co-leader of the Freedom Convoy Chris Barber. The pair spent over an hour talking about their recent sentence, as well as the state of affairs in Canada.

President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a critical minerals agreement to counter China, which is holding tight to its own rare earth metals.

According to Bloomberg, Australia “holds the world’s fourth-largest deposits of rare earths.”

With China trying to control the rare earths and critical minerals market, Australia hopes to become “a viable alternative” for countries.

Australia has these key elements:

  • Neodymium and praseodymium: needed for high-strength magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines
  • Dysprosium and terbium: needed for magnets used in high temperatures
  • Lanthanum and cerium: used in catalytic converters and batteries
  • Europium and gadolinium: needed for phosphors used in screens and medical imaging
  • Samarium: used in high-temperature permanent magnets and lasers

In Ian Fleming’s 1959 James Bond novel Goldfinger, he wrote, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.”

When it comes to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, we’ve now got him linked to two anti-gay figures. Is that, as Fleming said, a coincidence? Or part of a larger pattern?

Two weeks ago, we learned that Mamdani is acquainted with Rebecca Kadaga, the Ugandan politician who supported legislation that would imprison gays in Uganda for life. Mamdani denied knowing Kadaga, but the New York Post revealed she’s got ties to his family, who own a massive compound in the African nation.

Now we’re learning Mamdani’s imam pal, Siraj Wahhaj, is also anti-gay.

Hamas has rejected disarmament and security control surrender under President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, following the October 9, 2025, ceasefire in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which ended two years of conflict and released the last Israeli hostages. Saudi Arabia, with UAE and Bahrain, warned the U.S. administration of withholding $50 billion in reconstruction aid if Hamas retains arms or power, criticizing Qatar and Turkey’s mediation for emboldening the group. Gulf states propose a neutral Western-led mission for demilitarization to ensure lasting stability.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor just hit another bump in the road, and this one might actually matter to Democratic voters. The socialist darling who’s been cruising toward what looks like a likely victory next month now finds himself tied to a second figure with a history of virulent anti-gay rhetoric.

While his terror-tied associations might not ruffle too many feathers among the city’s Democratic base, homophobia could be a different story entirely.

Earlier this month, the New York Post revealed that Mamdani “flashed a beaming smile in a cringeworthy photo with a top Ugandan official who pushed harsh anti-LGBT policies — that included life imprisonment for gay people.”

Uruguay, once a conservative pillar in Latin America, has crossed a tragic threshold. Its Senate has voted to legalize euthanasia, turning the nation’s medical profession into an instrument of state-sanctioned death. After eight years of debate and multiple legislative battles, the upper house approved the so-called “Dignified Death.” The law allows doctors to end the lives of patients who claim to suffer “unbearable pain” from incurable conditions.

Uruguay has abandoned life.

On October 15, 2025, Uruguay’s Senate voted 20 to 11 to legalize euthanasia. This followed a 64 to 29 vote by the Chamber of Representatives on August 13, 2025. With those two votes, Uruguay’s legislature handed doctors the legal authority to kill. The left-wing government of President Yamandú Orsi celebrates this as a milestone. They cheer it as progress. What they have approved is death, on demand, wrapped in official procedure and sold as compassion.

Supporters call it compassion, but it’s not. It’s surrender. They claim it protects choice, but it erases conscience. By declaring death a form of medical care, Uruguay has chosen elimination over treatment, and despair over dignity. This isn’t progress. It’s a complete moral collapse.

A federal judge has ruled that a Florida school board did not violate the First Amendment when it removed a children’s book featuring two male penguins raising a chick in a victory for officials who argue they have the authority to keep LGBTQ-themed material out of school libraries.

Chief U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor ruled on September 30 that the Escambia County School Board acted within its rights when it removed the book And Tango Makes Three from its library shelves. The 2005 book tells the true story of two male penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo who hatch and raise a chick together and has long been at the center of debates over LGBTQ representation in schools.

We all knew heads were going to roll when Bari Weiss took the editor-in-chief job at CBS News, following the purchase of her Free Press venture. It’s why liberals were so mad about this move made at the network. Its staffers were going to be forced to report on what actually happens. The rot of old had to be cleaned out, so Weiss took her first “scalp” in what will likely be a long list of cuts to get things right at CBS News (via NY Post):

The head of CBS News’ standards and practices unit — who presided over some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting — is out as new boss Bari Weiss looks to bring more balance to the left-leaning network.

Claudia Milne, who ran the division responsible for the moral, ethical and legal implications of CBS programming, is the first senior executive to leave the network since Weiss arrived as editor in chief earlier this month.

Although Milne’s job had been “slowly phased out,” a CBS source called her departure “significant.”

“She was part of the woke mob at CBS News. It shows an editorial shift in how CBS will operate,” the person said, speculating that “this is Bari’s first scalp.”

ICE agents arrested a Chicago area police officer Thursday, accusing him of living illegally in the United States for over a decade.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Hanover Park Police Officer Radule Bojovic overstayed a B-2 tourist visa that required him to depart the U.S. on March 31, 2015. “Over a decade later, he was still illegally in the U.S.,” DHS stated in a press release. Hanover Park is a suburb of Chicago with a population of over 37,000 people.

Federal prosecutors are now signaling they may remove James Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as his lead counsel because of his involvement in the former FBI Director’s leaks of classified information to the media through Daniel Richman.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey last month. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

If convicted, James Comey is facing up to five years in prison.

Comey’s case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.

No one wanted the ongoing government shutdown more than Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York.

In fact, Schumer’s own words serve as irrefutable proof that he hoped the shutdown would boost his party’s political fortunes.

Now, in the wake of Democrats’ silly “No Kings” rallies against President Donald Trump on Saturday, Schumer has learned that perhaps he should have thought through his shutdown strategy before taking on a president who, time and again, has exhibited the resilience and fighting spirit of history’s noblest kings.

The Passaic County Board of Elections is under fire — and possibly heading to court — after rejecting a push from local Republicans to beef up ballot security and speed up vote counting ahead of the November 4 general election.

The Passaic County Republican Organization had called for tighter oversight of ballots, including installing security cameras inside ballot storage rooms, setting up a two-party lock system to control access, and posting a sheriff’s officer on-site 24 hours a day for added protection.

GOP officials also demanded the county start opening and canvassing mail-in ballots five days before Election Day, a procedure they say is already being used successfully in other New Jersey counties.

President Donald Trump has worked ardently to bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine — a war that has resulted in millions of casualties and transformed much of Eastern Ukraine into drone-netted wasteland.

Fresh off brokering a tenuous ceasefire in Gaza and speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday.

‘They should stop where they are. Let both claim Victory, let History decide!’

Vice President J.D. Vance has held onto a narrow lead over Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a new hypothetical poll of the 2028 presidential race.

The poll, conducted by Emerson College, shows that 46 percent of participants would support Vance, 45 percent would vote for Newsom, and 10 percent were undecided.

Neither of the lawmakers have formally announced a bid for president, but are currently seen as their parties’ likely frontrunners in the next presidential race.

An unhinged leftist has been caught after trying to kill an innocent Trump supporter over a sign that he did not like.

As the Daily Mail reported on Monday, 38-year-old Benjamin Michael Campbell was charged with unloading gunshots into the residence of 62-year-old Mark Thomas in Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina. The incident occurred back on September 6.

At least 34 arrests, ranging from terroristic threats to assault, were made during what some are calling the “mostly peaceful” nationwide “No Kings” protests Saturday, reports say.

Millions of demonstrators filled the streets of major U.S. cities to protest President Donald Trump and his administration, according to multiple reports. Most of the violence broke out near Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, a frequent target for left-wing unrest and threats since midsummer.

David Cox of New York was charged Friday night with making terroristic threats and threatening mass harm after allegedly telling a gas station employee he planned to firebomb ICE agents at the protest, ABC 7 News reported.

They’ve blamed the government shutdown on congressional Republicans, claimed White House tariffs would steal Christmas and even rolled out funny costumes at Saturday’s “No Kings” protest, but nothing seems to be working for Democrats.

And now, after falling to a new low in popularity, Democrats have sunk below Republicans in the key “favorability index,” a sign that their kitchen sink strategy has failed.

In a telling poll reinforced by new Federal Election Commission numbers showing that House Republicans just broke a fundraising record, the Democratic favorability rating dropped another two points to 45%, 3 points behind the GOP, which has held steady at 48%.

Local college ‘adult education manager’: ‘You gotta grab a gun! ICE agents gotta get shot and wiped out!’

There certainly was no shortage of … entertaining progressive activists at this past Saturday’s various “No Kings” rallies. However, two particular activists arguably went way overboard.

At a Chicago-area rally, elementary school teacher Lucy Martinez was caught on video mockingly making a gesture akin to being shot in the neck, mimicking how Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The Daily Mail reports Martinez’s antics ultimately led to Nathan Hale Elementary School shutting down its website and social media presence.

“These barbaric monsters who committed these crimes against innocent children should NEVER have been in our country in the first place.”

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on Monday arrested illegal immigrants throughout the country who they described as “worst of the worst.” These are men who have been convicted for sex crimes against children and other serious counts but have still been resiging in the US, despite their illegal status.

Among those arrested by ICE are Mariano Yanez-Conejo, of Mexico; Humberto Perez-Vasquez, of Guatemala; Jose Rigoberto Lopez-Aguilar, of El Salvador; Rafael Penaloza-Cabrera, of Mexico; and Jose Ortiz-Jacobo, of Mexico. Each of these have been convicted of vile behavior against children.

Eric Trump warned that former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has no shot at defeating Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa remains in the contest.

Appearing Tuesday on Fox News’s America Reports, the president’s son said Sliwa’s refusal to exit the race would divide the anti-Mamdani vote and ensure a left-wing victory in November.

“Can Cuomo pull off victory if Sliwa is still in the race?” host Sandra Smith asked Trump.

“No, of course not,” Trump replied. “That’s why the New York Post, that’s why one of your own companies [referring to the fact that News Corp, which owns the New York Post, and Fox Corporation are both owned by the Murdoch family] is strongly encouraging him to get out of the race.”

Democrats have sworn up and down for years that we didn’t need legislation like the SAVE Act to clean up our voter rolls. “It’s already against the law for illegal immigrants to vote,” they argued.

They also insisted illegal immigrants weren’t voting in elections.

The Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee votes on a package of six bills Wednesday that will make it possible for pregnant Pennsylvania women to kill their unborn babies up to birth. It will also turn Pennsylvania into an abortion tourism destination, allowing women from states with stronger pro-life rules to kill their babies in Pennsylvania with no legal entanglements.

Currently Pennsylvania bans abortion after 24 weeks (six months), though even then state law makes an exception “when the pregnancy poses a serious health risk or threatens the life” of the mother.

The main legislation is HB 1957, which aims to amend the Pennsylvania Constitution, making abortion a state constitutional right. HB 1957 would have to be approved by voters on a statewide ballot, and the committee hearing is the first step in that long process to amend the state constitution. First it must be approved in committee, then it moves to the House. The Pennsylvania House has a slight Democrat majority over Republicans, 102-101, so there is a good chance the constitutional amendment (and the entire six-bill package) will be approved by the committee and could pass the House.

A young man who filmed a video threatening ICE agents and then tried to lie his way out of it is about to learn the hard way that there are consequences.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, teenage-looking individuals went on TikTok last week. They decided to piggyback off reports of bounties that have been issued against ICE agents trying to enforce our immigration laws.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently thinks taking a stand for federal employees and service members means calling a bill that does exactly that, a “political ploy.”

Senate Majority Leader John Thune placed the Shutdown Fairness Act on the calendar, and it should come up for a vote as the shutdown enters its fourth week. The measure would provide backpay and ongoing wages to military servicemembers and essential federal workers who have not been furloughed. Seems like something Democrats should jump on because they claim to support our troops and federal workers. But a reporter asked him whether he would encourage his Democratic colleagues to support the legislation, Jeffries dismissed the bill as inadequate.

“It’s my understanding that that is not a comprehensive bill that actually is designed to reopen the government, while at the same time, addressing the issues that need to be confronted on behalf of the American people, which include lowering the high cost of living and decisively addressing the Republican healthcare crisis,” Jeffries said. The minority leader’s response signals that Democrats remain dug in on their demands for a broader package that includes extensions of Affordable Care Act tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year.

The Western Journal asked readers again this week: If the 2028 Republican primary were held today, who would you support?

Vice President J.D. Vance continues to dominate the field, though his lead has narrowed again compared to last week’s poll.

Vance received 50.1 percent of the vote in this week’s straw poll, which was conducted Oct. 13 to 19 and drew 14,952 responses.

That marks a slight dip from the 53.5 percent total he recorded the week before, continuing a two-week decline following his high of 62.1 percent earlier this month.

President Donald Trump finished second once again, earning the support of 13.4 percent of the respondents while being term-limited.
