Anti-Americanist Islamists from Dearborn, Michigan, the hub of activity for this people group, were prevented from carrying out a Halloween massacre on Americans in Detroit this past Halloween. Two men, Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud intended on killing Americans on Halloween using AR-15 rifles.

FBI Director Kash Patel said, “The FBI stopped a potential terrorist attack in Michigan before it could unfold. Thanks to swift action and coordination with our partners, a violent plot tied to international terrorism was disrupted. This is what defending the homeland looks like — vigilance saves lives.”

For better or for worse, Halloween has increasingly become associated with darkness, the occult, and the macabre.

Due in no small part to the thankless work of the FBI, this year’s Halloween wasn’t nearly as dark or macabre as it could’ve been — and that’s objectively for the better.

According to Fox News, the FBI foiled an “ISIS-inspired terror attack” that would have involved a massacre in Detroit on Halloween. The plot was allegedly codenamed “Pumpkin.”

“Mohmed Ali, of Dearborn, Michigan, and Majed Mahmoud are accused of plotting to launch a terror-inspired mass shooting codenamed ‘pumpkin,’ according to court documents,” Fox reported.

“They’ve been charged with receiving, transferring and attempting to receive and transfer firearms knowing and having reasonable cause to believe that they would be used to commit terrorism.”

ABC News noted that, according to the FBI, multiple raids were conducted in the early hours of Pumpkin Day:

 

Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s communications regulator has recently declared that Americans are not protected from UK prosecution for violating their soviet-styled speech laws on social media reaching their citizens. So far, talk of bills being written to deal with this foreign intrusion on American sovereignty is all that’s been seen in response to this assertion by the UK.

The claim came effectively in an ongoing lawsuit in which Ofcom argued, “We also note 4chan’s claim that it is protected from enforcement action taken by Ofcom because of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. However, the First Amendment binds only the US government and not overseas bodies, such as Ofcom, and therefore, it does not affect Ofcom’s powers to enforce the Act in this case.”

The UK government’s communications regulator Ofcom is facing backlash and a federal lawsuit after asserting that the U.S. Constitution does not protect American citizens from its online censorship laws.

Under the United Kingdom’s sweeping Online Safety Act, Ofcom has been sending enforcement letters to small U.S. platforms, including 4chan and Kiwi Farms.

Ofcom is demanding compliance with British speech regulations and threatening heavy fines for noncompliance.

But the move has triggered what one U.S. attorney calls a “constitutional ambush.”

Preston Byrne, an attorney representing 4chan, Kiwi Farms, and two other American companies, said the regulator’s actions were “frankly asinine.”

“My clients are entirely American,” Byrne said.

A document from the Vatican is recommending churches do not use the phrase “Mediatrix of ALL Graces,” claiming Revelation does not validate the term and it puts on “limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place.  Catholics argue the OPPOSITE is true, it is the Vatican LIMITING Mary’s powers.

Catholics fighting back site an encyclical on the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX in 1849 that claimed, “God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary.”

Protestants would dispute both the papal and the traditional Catholic claims on the nature of Mary, citing, Luke 11:27-28, “As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!’ But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’”

Yesterday LifeSiteNews reported that a new document from the Vatican has discouraged the use of “Mediatrix of All Graces” as a title for the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The document suggests that the title lacks solid grounding in Revelation and carries “limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place.”

On the contrary, the doctrine that all graces come to us through the mediation of the Blessed Virgin has been taught many times by the Successors of St Peter.

Tuesday marked the first major election night since November 2024, and to put it frankly, it was a bloodbath for Republicans. This was a 2018-level obliteration in races across the country. The only saving grace was that off-year elections only offer so much meat on the bone for the winning party.

I don’t say that to be alarmist, but I also don’t want Republicans to lull themselves to sleep. These results were a troubling indication of real angst within the electorate, and with the 2026 midterms now under a year away, the clock is ticking for Republicans to turn things around. And while I want to discuss some fundamental issues that I believe are spoiling the environment for the GOP right now, the first step is understanding what happened.

In the fall of 2010, the Heritage Foundation was invited to send a speaker to a charter school class in the District of Columbia to discuss abortion. I was nominated for the task and arrived that morning at the Cesar Chavez Public Charter School for a back-and-forth with a representative from the D.C.-area Planned Parenthood.

The classroom had approximately 30 students, nearly all female and mostly freshmen and sophomores. It proved to be a good, low-key exchange, during which I learned the young women had been given a tour of a local Planned Parenthood facility. The classroom was not set up for audio visuals, and I had planned to dwell primarily on talking points about the value of life and setting behavioral standards necessary for personal success and happiness. But I did bring with me a set of visuals depicting the development of the child in the womb — straightforward prenatal biology and not violent images. The pictures were accurate and beautiful.

Last weekend 460 patients and their associates were massacred at Saudi Maternity Hospital in el-Fasher, Sudan.  This was acknowledged by the World Health Organization last Wednesday, when they reported that the RSF, the Rapid Support Forces, a Sudanese paramilitary force, in other words, terrorists, had committed the heinous act, as well as other slaughters in and around Darfur. One would think that this kind of horror would be widely reported on. When it comes to the nightly newscasts on CBS and ABC, one would be wrong.

Let’s start with the CBS Evening News. They did not mention the attack even once all week — that’s zero seconds — but they did have time for plenty of Halloween stories. On Friday evening, which was Halloween, the broadcast spent one minute on Halloween weather around the country. They ran a two minute package on “spooky” Halloween decorations, and the debate over whether or not they are too scary for children. And the best for last, a three minute segment on toilet paper being used by mischievous trick or treaters using toilet paper to ‘decorate’ homes and businesses in Heflin, Alabama, something the police are understandably not happy about. Bari Weiss, are you watching?

In the span of less than 10 minutes after a huge crowd of protesters filled the U.S. Capitol West Plaza beneath the inauguration stage on Jan. 6, Capitol Police repeatedly used lethal force on the crowd, targeting people in the head, neck, face, and upper body — actions one use-of-force expert called “criminally negligent.”

During that brief span, at least 16 people were shot with kinetic-impact projectiles, including nine who took shots to the top of the head, face, and base of the neck, according to Capitol Police surveillance video obtained by Blaze News.

‘We need munitions! Unload! Unload it all! Take ’em out!’

The rounds are designed to be shot at or below the waist or skipped off pavement to strike the legs and cause trauma and “pain compliance.” None of the rounds observable on the surveillance footage struck below the belt, putting all of the observable rounds in dangerous and potentially lethal territory.

China will begin easing an export ban on automotive computer chips vital to production of cars across the world as part of a trade deal struck between the US and China, the White House has said.

The White House confirmed details of the deal in a new fact sheet after Xi Jinping and Donald Trump met in South Korea this week.

The nations also reached agreements on US soybean exports, the supply of rare earth minerals, and the materials used in production of the drug fentanyl.

The deal de-escalates a trade war between the world’s two largest economies after Trump hit China with tariffs after he entered office this year, leading to rounds of retaliatory tariffs and global business uncertainty.

The Scottish Parliament has passed a financial resolution to the Scottish assisted suicide Bill that would hand a “blank cheque” to implement assisted suicide, with funding likely to have to be diverted from other services to pay for this.

The Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, at Stage 2 in Holyrood, would legalise assisted suicide for someone who is aged 16 or over, deemed mentally capable, ordinarily resident in Scotland, and terminally ill. There is no prognosis requirement specified.

Due to the likely large expenditure required by the implementation of assisted suicide, the Bill was required to be subject to a financial resolution before it could progress to the next Parliamentary stage.

A troubling new medical study has found that stillbirth rates in the United States are continuing to surge to alarmingly high levels and show no sign of improvement.

The peer-reviewed study examined more than 2.7 million pregnancies between 2016 and 2022.

Researchers found that roughly one in 150 pregnancies (6.8 per 1,000) ended in stillbirth.

The rate is significantly higher than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) previous estimate of one in 175 (5.7 per 1,000).

The findings underscore what public health experts are calling a persistent and preventable national tragedy that is being massively underreported by the corporate media.

The results of the study were published in the medical journal JAMA.

The state of Texas has secured an “historic” $1.375 billion settlement agreement with Google

The October 31 announcement from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office marked the conclusion of two of the largest data privacy enforcement actions ever brought by a single state against the tech giant. Paxton sued Google for unlawfully tracking and collecting users’ private data regarding geolocation, incognito searches, and biometric data in 2022.

“This historic $1.375 billion price tag for Google’s misconduct sends a clear warning to all of Big Tech that I will take aggressive action against any company that misuses Texans’ data and violates their privacy,” said Paxton in a press release. “If Big Tech thinks they can get away with abusing user data and illegally spying on Texans without consequences, I will make sure they are proven wrong. This monumental settlement is a testament to my office’s commitment to taking on the biggest companies in the world and securing victory on behalf of Texans.”

“The settlement obtained by Attorney General Paxton for these combined abuses far eclipses that of any other one state’s settlement against Google for similar claims, with the largest single-state settlement to date outside of Texas being $93 million,” declared the AG office.  “Additionally, a forty-state coalition secured $391 million in its privacy case against Google, which is almost one billion dollars less than what Attorney General Paxton secured for Texas alone.”

A 75-year-old pro-life activist, left with permanent vision and hearing loss after a vicious beating outside a Baltimore abortion clinic, is pleading with the Trump administration’s Justice Department to step in and deliver the justice a local court denied him.

Mark Crosby, a lifelong Catholic sidewalk counselor who has spent decades praying for unborn children and offering support to women facing crisis pregnancies, sent a desperate letter Thursday to the DOJ, accusing the Maryland judiciary of a “gross miscarriage of justice” in the sentencing of his attacker.

The appeal comes nearly two years after the May 26, 2023, assault that left Crosby and his 84-year-old friend Richard “Dick” Schaefer, battered and bloodied in broad daylight.

Acclaimed artist and sculptor Jackie Ferrara has been euthanized despite reportedly being in “good health.”

Ferrara is the latest celebrity to be killed by “assisted suicide,” continuing the disturbing trend of liberal media outlets glamorizing what should be treated as a tragedy, not a fashionable lifestyle choice.

Ferrara was killed via lethal injection on October 22 at age 95.

By all accounts, Ferrara was in “good health.”

She simply decided that she was “ready to go,” and didn’t want to “depend on anybody.”

“I don’t want a housekeeper,” she told The New York Times shortly before her death.

“I never wanted anybody.

“I was married three times.

“That’s enough,” she added.

A charity supporting victims of Muslim child rape grooming gangs has revealed that family members of predators have attempted to infiltrate their ranks to threaten women and girls seeking help.

While much of the focus of the grooming gang scandal has focused on the failures of local authorities and the gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men, which were given free rein to sexually exploit often young working-class white girls, a victims’ charity has claimed that there is a broader familial, tribal support network operating in the shadows behind the criminal operations.

Managing director of the Next Stage Youth Development charity, Paul O’Rourke told The Times of London that it is “really common” for family members of grooming gangs to worm their way into the charity to “threaten and intimidate” victims.

“Once the gang in Rochdale found out where those young people were, they tried to infiltrate — to get access to them, to interfere with them as witnesses, to threaten them,” he said. “They also tried to recruit them back into the grooming gang because they were still very vulnerable.”

Over the weekend, unidentified drones were detected hovering above Belgium’s Kleine Brogel air base, which his the location of a U.S. nuclear weapons storage facility, prompting investigations into a possible espionage operation.

Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken said Sunday that a jammer was unsuccessfully used during the overnight drone sightings over Belgium’s Kleine Brogel airbase, which is used by NATO forces.

“Last night, we received 3 reports of drones above Kleine Brogel, of a larger type and flying at higher altitude,” Francken wrote on X. “It was not a simple overflight, but a clear command targeting Kleine Brogel. A drone jammer was used, but without success.

“A helicopter and police vehicles pursued the drone, but lost it after several kilometers,” he added.

…Francken said on Saturday that he would meet police next week to assess the threat and take the necessary steps to find and arrest the drone pilots.

A spokesperson for Francken’s office told Reuters news agency police were investigating the incident. Government ministers will discuss the sightings this week.

“I foresee violent pushback from an armed citizenry in the future. The 2nd amendment folx were very clear that weapons are meant to oppose a tyrannical government…”

A Democrat trans activist has won the mayoral race in Downingtown, PA, a small town of about 9,000 people in Chester County, west of Philadelphia. Deuso defeated Republican Richard Bryant.

Erica Deuso, who is openly transgender, had recently suggested armed violence against the federal government after footage came out of illegal immigrants being detained.

“Tonight, the numbers are clear,” Deuso stated early Wednesday morning, according to WHYY. “We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

One of the more noxious aspects of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to be mayor of New York City is the reappearance of Linda Sarsour, the far-left, oxymoronically hijab-wearing “feminist” activist who rocketed to international fame some years ago as the hate-filled face of the leftist/Islamic alliance, glossing over the human rights abuses of Sharia and demonizing Israel with extravagant false claims long before doing so became the left’s favorite pastime. As it turns out, Sarsour has not been enjoying a comfortable, Soros-financed retirement; she has been working on what she calls “the quiet side” of the Mamdani campaign.

Quiet side or not, however, Sarsour has been loquacious of late, and what she has been saying should give every New Yorker pause, although it probably won’t. In an Instagram livestream that she posted on Saturday but later took down, Sarsour declared that she was determined to keep the pressure up on Mayor Mamdani to dismantle the Strategic Response Group, the NYPD’s counterterror unit, which is also responsible for policing protests. “If Zohran’s gonna be the mayor of New York City,” Sarsour vowed, “he’s going to shut down the Strategic Response Group, the SRG, which is what Zohran has committed to.”

Two bills recently proposed to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Oklahoma college campuses have prompted debate, with some professors arguing the proposals go too far and run afoul of the very principles Kirk espoused.

One week after Kirk’s assassination, Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett, who leads the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, introduced the bills to honor the memory and legacy of the Turning Point USA founder.

The proposals seek to require Oklahoma’s public institutions of higher education to honor Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, as Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day, and “designate and develop a prominent area on its main campus as the ‘Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.’”

If any student, employee or faculty member vandalizes the plaza, they would be terminated from enrollment or employment and fined for the cost of the damage, the OU Daily student newspaper reported.

Conservative politicians and Canadians are in an uproar after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a mandatory one-year sentence for possessing or accessing child pornography is “unconstitutional.”

The Supreme Court released its ruling on October 31 in a 5-4 decision. The court dismissed the Crown’s appeal of the ruling n 2025 SCC 33 (File No. 40882). The ruling upholds a Quebec Court of Appeal decision, meaning that in such cases moving forward it will be up to the judge to hand over a ruling.

The case was based on a recent argument made by two men from Quebec, who had pleaded guilty to child pornography offenses. The two had argued that a one-year jail sentence was a violation of their Charter right of not being a party to “cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.”

It was the Crown that had asked the Supreme Court to rule that having child pornography is a grave offense worthy of strict sentences, noting the harm it causes the victims and families.

The world has been shocked and horrified by stories of how Hamas tortured and murdered Israeli hostages. But Hamas also viciously maltreats and even kills its own people who dare to stand up to it, including Moumen al-Natour, a Palestinian anti-Hamas activist.

The UK Daily Mail says that al-Natour has endured endless harassment and persecution from Hamas, from “being lashed with a whip, stripped of his clothes, or made to squat for 24 gruelling hours in a tiny underground cell, the 30-year-old lawyer has paid the price time and time again for his resistance to the authoritarian government.”

Describing one round of abuse at Hamas’s hands, al-Natour told the UK outlet, “They insulted me with obscene language and threatened to bring my father, mother, brothers and sisters to the prison to torture them. Once, someone even told me they could rape my mother and sisters in front of me.”

Chester County Pennsylvania election officials decided to extend voting hours Tuesday, keeping polls open until 10 p.m. after a disastrous start to the general election.

Poll books where voters sign to show they are a registered voter in the county only listed Republicans and Democrats. The names of some 75,000 independent and unaffiliated voters were not in the book, meaning they could not be verified as a registered voter and had to cast provisional ballots.

When a voter goes to a new polling place for the first time, Pennsylvania requires them to show identification and sign the poll book. After that, their signature from the previous year is in the book and each year they sign near their old signature.

Independent and unaffiliated voters are not allowed to vote in the spring primary election; that is for registered Republicans and Democrats only. One could guess the county was working with a primary poll book in the general election, but that is not clear. Chester election officials promised to return a call to The Federalist Tuesday but never did.

A new Pentagon policy will severely restrict the ability of so-called transgender members of the Armed Forces to avoid discharge by convincing a separation board to retain them on active duty. Under previous policy, transgenders identified for discharge could appeal to a separation board to overturn the administrative process. The new policy permits commanders to set aside the separation board recommendation and require discharge.

One of President Trump’s earliest acts was to issue an executive order titled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness. This order revoked a Joe Biden, or perhaps an autopenned, executive order which had encouraged transgenders to join the military and protected those currently on duty; see Executive Order 14004—Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform. That, in turn, had revoked an memorandum issued by President Trump during his first term that barred transgenders from service; see Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals.

[Let me digress here for a moment to examine how the administrative process works under Republican versus Democrat administrations. Biden was able to revoke a Trump memo without issue. On the other hand, the memo written by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano that created the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA/Dreamer, program has proved impervious to all attacks. Go figure.]

The current estimate is that about 4,200 transgenders haunt the ranks and about 1,000 of those have requested voluntary separation.

President Trump on Tuesday called California’s Proposition 50 a “giant scam” and revealed that the Golden State’s mail-in ballots are under “serious legal and criminal review.”

Governor Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled state Legislature placed the Prop 50 constitutional amendment on California’s 2025 special election ballot in August.

It authorizes a temporary override of California’s independent redistricting process for congressional districts, allowing the Democrat-controlled Legislature to gerrymander new maps starting with the 2026 midterm elections.

“The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “All ‘Mail-In’ Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are ‘Shut Out,’ is under very serious legal and criminal review,” he added. “STAY TUNED.”
