Dems Dig in on Shutdown, Believe They’re ‘Winning Messaging War,’ Won’t Concede Short of ‘Planes Falling Out of the Sky’– amgreatness.com

Blurb:

Congressional Democrats reportedly plan to continue the government shutdown standoff for several more weeks in an attempt to force Republicans to accept their healthcare demands.

Democrats are digging in, even as active-duty military service members risk missing a paycheck on October 15, because they believe they are “winning the messaging war,” as CNN put it.

One senior Democrat aide told CNN that as long as public perception is in their favor, the party will not concede short of “planes falling out of the sky,” presumably due to air traffic controller staffing shortages.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Friday called that comment “one of the most disgusting statements I’ve ever read.”

Early polling of the shutdown showed clear majorities of Americans blaming Republicans for the standoff, but the polls have tightened since then.

On Sunday the New York Post reported that New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s campaign took in nearly $13,000 in “potentially illegal foreign donations.” Unsurprisingly, the party that spent four years claiming “no one is above the law” when justifying their lawfare against President Donald Trump is now silent on such alleged election law violations simply because Mamdani is one of their own.

According to the Post, “At least 170 of the nearly 54,000 contributions … came from donors with addresses outside the United States, an examination of NYC Campaign Finance Board records found.” As noted by the Post, only U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents can legally contribute to political campaigns and action committees. Any illegal donations must be returned.

A coalition of news outlets, including the conservative Newsmax, said they wouldn’t sign the Pentagon’s new document outlining new press rules.

The group, which includes the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Reuters, NPR, Newsmax, the Wall Street Journal, the Guardian, the Associated Press, and the New York Times, argued that the new rules violate the First Amendment.

“Journalists from the New York Times will not sign the Pentagon’s revised press pass policy, which threatens to punish them for ordinary news gathering protected by the First Amendment,” the New York Times’s statement read. “Since the policy was first announced, we have expressed concerns that it constrains how journalists can report on the U.S. military, which is funded by nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars annually.”

Trump hinted he would use the prospect of deployment as leverage in upcoming discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I may tell him [Putin] that if the war is not settled, we may very well,” Trump said.

Journalist James O’Keefe has done it again, this time exposing a U.S. State Department diplomat via hidden camera for dating a CCP leader’s daughter and hiding it from the government.

“‘I Defied My Government for Love’: US State Department Foreign Service Officer Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter, Admits ‘She Could Have Been A Spy,’ Refused to Report Her,” reads the headline of O’Keefe’s latest exposé.

“This is Daniel Choi, worked at the State Department for almost 20 years and was in charge of vetting all student visas from China, a program that recent arrests show has become less about education and a pipeline for infiltration and espionage,” O’Keefe tells BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“This is a guy in the State Department talking to a random stranger about how he’s sleeping with a Chinese spy,” O’Keefe explains.

This country needs better foster parents, and the State of Massachusetts is no exception. That’s why it’s not only bizarre but deeply unserious that DCF has decided to revoke the foster license of one caring couple. Whether or not this has something to do with their Christian faith, well… you will have to do the math.

A married couple from Woburn, Massachusetts, had their foster care license revoked after declining to sign a gender-affirming policy agreement required by the state’s Department of Children and Families (DCF).

After federal agents raided an apartment building in Chicago to arrest Tren de Aragua gang members, MSNBC personalities repeatedly spread the fake news that agents zip-tied children. And, even though no one died in the raid, they also promoted hyperbolic comparisons to the Gestapo, the Tulsa killings of 1921, and the MOVE Philadelphia bombing of 1985.

Fox News not only highlighted DHS’s fact check that debunks Democrat misinformation on the subject, but Fox reporters also informed viewers that most of those living in the building were illegal squatters.

Skirmishes between ICE and “activists” continue to break out in Chicago, and some “journalists” are learning that claiming that title after the fact isn’t a get-out-of-detainment-free card.

Despite the Democrat-led city being ravaged by a murder epidemic, mostly caused by out-of-control gang violence, left-wingers have decided that the real problem is ICE deporting violent illegal aliens. Using tracking apps and other means, they show up at facilities and during raids to try to impede federal immigration officials. One of those people was Debbie Brockman, who is a video editor and producer for the creative services department of Chicago television station WGN.

Video shows her pinned on the ground by ICE agents as she’s detained and placed in the back of a vehicle. During the scene, she started proclaiming she’s a journalist.

‘I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered … I will be very candid with you‘

The coordinator of student-government programs at Oklahoma State University allegedly reprimanded a student who gave a small tribute to Charlie Kirk at a meeting just hours after Kirk’s assassination.

According to the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Josh Wilson, a member of the OSU student government and debate society, “took a few moments to speak to fellow students” at a Student Government Association meeting that had been scheduled the day of Kirk’s murder.

“Wilson’s Sept. 10 speech contained no references to Trump, nor did it advocate for the election of any political figure or call for support of any political party,” according to the report.

“Instead, Wilson called Kirk ‘a father, a husband, a devout Christian, and a shining light for so many,” and “recalled that during Kirk’s April visit to OSU, Kirk was able to ‘provoke discussion and dialogue among countless students on this campus.’”

Are you the kind of person who likes to spend $4 for every $3 you take in? If so, your financial management “skills” might qualify you to run for Congress. With people like that running the show, is it any wonder that interest costs on our national debt surpassed $1 trillion last year for the first time ever?

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) review of the fiscal year that just concluded on Sept. 30 provides one of many reasons why Republicans should reject Democrats’ demands to end the “Schumer Shutdown” — namely, a permanent extension of enhanced Obamacare subsidies as part of $1.5 trillion in spending. While most Republican lawmakers won’t win any awards for fiscal rectitude, on this issue at least, they’re exhibiting the courage not to make a bad situation worse.

AI Could Make it Harder to Establish Blame for Medical Failings, Experts Say– www.madinamerica.com

From The Guardian: “The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare could create a legally complex blame game when it comes to establishing liability for medical failings, experts have warned.

The development of AI for clinical use has boomed, with researchers creating a host of tools, from algorithms to help interpret scans to systems that can aid with diagnoses. AI is also being developed to help manage hospitals, from optimising bed capacity to tackling supply chains.

But while experts say the technology could bring myriad benefits for healthcare, they say there is also cause for concern, from a lack of testing of the effectiveness of AI tools to questions over who is responsible should a patient have a negative outcome.

Former FBI Director James Comey’s defense team wants to kill the Trump administration’s case before it goes to trial, but legal experts say their chances of success are slim.

Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald indicated Wednesday that the defense intends to file motions alleging vindictive and selective prosecution “at the direction of President [Donald] Trump,” as well as challenging the appointment of the prosecutor who brought the indictment, Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

If Halligan had not indicted Comey on Sept. 25, the statute of limitations would have expired within days, making it crucial for the government to prevail on a motion to dismiss. However, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the two motions Comey hopes to file will be difficult to prove.

‘Islam must adapt to Sweden’ — Swedish deputy prime minister calls for public burqa and niqab ban– rmx.news

Sweden’s Deputy Prime Minister Ebba Busch has called for a nationwide ban on burqas and niqabs in all public places, saying the country must “wake up from its naivety” about Islamism and act decisively to protect Swedish values and social cohesion.

The Christian Democrats (KD) leader told Aftonbladet that she wants legislation prohibiting the full-face coverings in streets, squares, shops, healthcare facilities, and other public settings — a step beyond previous local attempts to ban them in schools and public workplaces that were struck down under current law.

“You should be able to meet for real if you are on the street, if you are shopping in the square, or taking the children to the health center. Then I don’t want to meet someone who has covered their entire face,” Busch said.
