Excerpt:

A Turkish court on Monday delayed a verdict in a case seeking the annulment of an internal leadership election of the country’s main opposition party over alleged irregularities, a decision that could restore the party’s unpopular former leader and inflame political tensions.

The court in Ankara adjourned the trial over the legitimacy of the 38th congress of Republican People’s Party, or CHP, until Oct. 24. The congress in 2023 ousted long-time leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu and elected current chairman Ozgur Ozel.

Schools Keep Trying to Push a Discredited Ideology– www.dailysignal.com

Excerpt:

It’s back-to-school season, and some teachers have promised that the racist ideas from diversity, equity, and inclusion would not be in their classrooms this year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many of these teachers and administrators are clearly telling whoppers.

In fact, K-12 schools and colleges around the country are disguising their DEI offices and their racial preferences.

Take Maryland, across the border from the nation’s capital and where many federal bureaucrats sleep and send their children to school.

State education officials said schools would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders calling on schools to reject DEI, citing the ways in which DEI programs violate civil rights laws.

Yet schools in Montgomery County, precisely where the swamp lives, still have resources on their website dedicated to DEI and critical race theory.

This wealthy school district, which receives $51.5 million in federal taxpayer spending for children in its lower-income areas, offers online classes for teachers on “How to be an anti-racist and anti-racist educator.” These sessions argue that everything around us is racist because not everyone receives the same rewards in life.

So it does not matter how hard you work in life—everyone should have the same amount. That is “equity,” the course materials say. The way equity’s champions rationalize this to themselves is to say that success is the result of “whiteness,” or systemic racism or some such, not the result of effort.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul Endorses Radical Socialist Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed far-left Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral race.

After three months of silence, Hochul is now throwing her weight behind a radical candidate who has openly attacked police, pushed communist communal homes schemes, and made controversial remarks about Israel.

In a Sunday evening post on social media, Hochul declared:

“New York City deserves a mayor who will stand up to Donald Trump and make life more affordable for New Yorkers. That’s @ZohranKMamdani.”

The move is a major boost for Mamdani, the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist from Queens.

Mamdani shocked the political establishment in June by defeating former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and nine other rivals to capture the Democrat nomination.

He now holds a commanding double-digit lead in the polls ahead of November.

Billionaire Bill Ackman convened stormy Israel ‘intervention’ with Charlie Kirk, sources say– thegrayzone.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he contemplated a Catholic conversion.

On September 11, one day after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman took to Twitter/X to trumpet his relationship with the late conservative operative. “I feel incredibly privileged to have spent a day and shared a meal with @charliekirk11 this summer. He was a giant of a man.”

The Grayzone has spoken to five people with intimate knowledge of Kirk’s meeting with Ackman, which was held in early August. According to one source, Kirk was left upset after the gathering turned into an “intervention” where he was “hammered” for his increasingly skeptical views on the US special relationship with Israel, and for platforming prominent conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events.

Why did they bother to fight the Nazis? How long before we see King Charles reciting the shahada?

This is what happens when a left-wing bankrupt nation sells out to barbarians.

According to news reports from September 14, 2025, the recent UK ban on Israeli nationals from enrolling at the Royal College of Defence Studies appears to be unprecedented.

This is the first time in the college’s history since its founding in 1927 that it has excluded students from a particular country.

The institution was established nearly a century ago following a recommendation from a committee led by Winston Churchill, then colonial secretary, with the vision of fostering “understanding between senior military officers, diplomats, civil servants and officials.”

Winston Churchill was a strong supporter of the Zionist movement and the creation of a Jewish National Home, which he believed would be a blessing to the world. He envisioned a Jewish state under British protection, becoming a reality through Jewish majority-rule and the reclamation of desert lands.

Excerpt:

US President Donald Trump said the military on Monday again targeted a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, killing three aboard the vessel, hinting that the targeting of cartels could be further expanded.

“The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.,” Trump said in a Truth Social post announcing the strike.

“These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels pose a threat to National Security, foreign policy, and vital US Interests,” Trump wrote.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office later on Monday, Trump said he had been shown footage of the latest strike by Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Asked what proof the US has that the vessel was carrying drugs, Trump replied, “We have proof. All you have to do is look at the cargo that was spattered all over the ocean — big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place.”

Excerpt:

Poland’s State Protection Service (SOP) has neutralised a drone flying that was flying over sensitive government locations in Warsaw, Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a post on X.

Two Belarusian citizens were detained in connection with the incident and police have launched an investigation into the incident, Tusk said.

The incident comes at a time of heightened regional tensions following a string of airspace violations.

Poland says its airspace was violated in the early hours of Wednesday by a record 19 drones, believed to be from Russia.

In response, the Armed Forces of Ukraine said it would send a team to Poland to provide anti-drone training.

The Polish government has traditionally been a staunch supporter of Ukraine’s war effort.

Total support to Ukraine from Warsaw totals approximately €3.3 billion, in both military and humanitarian assistance.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refused to rule out further strikes on Hamas leaders abroad.

“The principle that terrorists should not have immunity wherever they are, wherever they may be, was not established by me,” he claimed.

Mr Netanyahu was speaking during a news conference with US secretary of state Marco Rubio, who was visiting Jerusalem, a meeting which coincided with an emergency summit in Qatar of Arab and Islamic states convened in response to Israel’s attack last week on Hamas leaders in the Gulf state.

The strike killed six people – five members of Hamas and a local Qatari security force member.

Does Mike Johnson Want To Expand Abortion Tourism?– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

With the enhanced Obamacare subsidies Democrats passed as part of their “Covid emergency” in 2021 set to expire on Dec. 31, congressional Republicans are considering what, if anything, to do about it. In a recent interview, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said, “I don’t love the policy” of extending the subsidies, “but I understand the political realities and the realities of people on the ground.”

Respectfully, I don’t think he understands the political realities in the slightest. Apart from Johnson’s convenient case of amnesia — remember when Republicans said they wanted to repeal Obamacare rather than expand and extend it? — the speaker is ignoring one major issue. Extending the enhanced subsidies would 1) keep taxpayer dollars flowing to plans that fund abortion and 2) allow blue states to create “slush funds” for abortion tourism that undermine the protections that pro-life states, including Johnson’s home state of Louisiana, have worked diligently to enact.

‘This Is a Targeted Arrest’: South Korean Pastor Hasn’t Been Seen Since Entering Police Station– www.cbn.com

Excerpt:

SEOUL – “If I am imprisoned, it will prove that Korea is no longer free.”  Reverend Hyun-bo Son made that statement just before entering the police station for a pre-trial hearing on September 8th. He hasn’t been seen since.

Charges against Pastor Son include violating election laws—specifically, for interviewing a candidate on issues the government interpreted as illegal campaigning. Authorities cited “risk of flight and destroying evidence” as the reasons for his detention.

Chance Son says the family only learned of his father’s arrest through the press. Since then, they have not been allowed to speak to Pastor Son, which they say violates his rights.

He said, “To a senior pastor who has served the same church for over 30 years, faithfully ministering to his congregation and the community, the court’s claim of flight risk makes no sense. I believe this is clearly political retaliation and religious oppression targeting Korean churches.”

Poll: Capitalism is out … and socialism is in– www.politico.com

Excerpt:

 

The socialist brand is on the rise, according to recent polling, fueling the left flank of the Democratic Party to argue its ideology is becoming more mainstream.

Shortly after Gallup released data showing Democrats and independents are cooling toward capitalism, a progressive organization is out with a poll finding that more than half of likely Democratic voters prefer socialist-aligned figures like Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Zohran Mamdani to establishment politicians like Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jefrries and Nancy Pelosi.

Democratic voters also view elected officials who describe themselves as democratic socialists about as positively as those who identify as Democrats, and they prefer democratic socialism to capitalism when written definitions of each are read aloud to them, according to the poll conducted by Data for Progress and shared first with POLITICO.

“What the mainstream of the party wants is both democratic socialism as a value system and democratic socialist politicians,” said Gabe Tobias, executive director of the Democratic Socialists of America Fund, a political nonprofit organization that funded the survey with the magazine Jacobin and the Berlin-based democratic socialist group Rosa Luxemburg Foundation.

Though Democratic voters are warming to socialism, the ideology is toxic to most Republicans and many independents, making it difficult for socialists to win in battlegrounds. Even within the Democratic Party, some voters are skeptical about the electability of democratic socialists in swing areas, a reality Sanders faced during his two unsuccessful presidential runs.

Smoke-dried human remains found in Asia may be world’s oldest known mummies, researchers say– www.cbsnews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Scientists have discovered what’s thought to be the oldest known mummies in the world in southeastern Asia dating back up to 12,000 years.

Mummification prevents decay by preserving dead bodies. The process can happen naturally in places like the sands of Chile’s Atacama Desert or the bogs of Ireland where conditions can fend off decomposition. Humans across various cultures also mummified their ancestors through embalming to honor them or send their souls to the afterlife.

Egypt’s mummies may be the most well-known, but until now some of the oldest mummies were prepared by a fishing people called the Chinchorro about 7,000 years ago in what’s now Peru and Chile.

A new study published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences pushes that timeline back.

Vance urges people to go hard against anyone ‘justifying or celebrating’ Charlie Kirk’s killing – live | Charlie Kirk shooting– www.theguardian.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

To close out as guest host of Charlie Kirk’s podcast, JD Vance went hard against what he called the far left and an increased tolerance for violence on it, saying the administration would be working to dismantle those who celebrate Kirk’s death and political violence against their opponents.

Vance said that after he left Kirk’s family in Arizona, he read a story in the Nation, a leftwing publication, where the author detailed Kirk’s views and, he said, took a quote about a supreme court justice out of context to imply it applied to all Black women.

The magazine was not a “fringe blog” but a “well-funded, well-respected magazine whose publishing history goes back to the American civil war. George Soros’s Open Society Foundation funds this magazine, as does the Ford Foundation and many other wealthy titans of the American progressive movement,” Vance said, hinting at the organizations the administration might target in the aftermath of Kirk’s murder. Vance later mentioned that the foundations that helped fund the magazine are tax-exempt, a sign that the government could go after that status.

“Charlie was gunned down in broad daylight, and well-funded institutions of the left lied about what he said so as to justify his murder,” Vance claimed. “This is soulless and evil, but I was struck not just by the dishonesty of the smear, but by the glee over a young husband’s and young father’s death.”

Vance said Erica Kirk asked his wife, Usha, for advice on how to tell her children that their father had been murdered on the vice-president’s visit to escort Kirk’s remains back to Arizona. As she was asking for that advice, Vance said, “there were people dancing on that father’s grave”.

Memphis has the highest violent crime rate among US cities with populations over 250,000.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a memorandum creating the Memphis Safe Task Force, an interagency initiative modeled on Washington, DC’s crime crackdown and aimed at addressing violent crime in the Tennessee city.

“We have to save our country from vioIent crime!” Trump said in remarks at the White House. “Our team will deploy the full powers of federal law enforcement agencies and enforcement generally to restore public safety and get dangerous career criminals off of our streets.”

Trump pointed to  Memphis’s crime record: “In 2024, Memphis had the highest violent crime rate, the highest property crime rate, and the third highest murder rate of any city in the nation. Other than that, they’re doing quite well.”

Teacher raped schoolboy, 11, in her own bed then gave pathetic excuse | World | News– www.express.co.uk

Excerpt:

A teacher who raped an 11-year-old boy after luring him back to her home confessed to police with a disgusting excuse. Horrifying bodycam footage has captured the moment Alley Bardfield admitted to enticing her victim home for “play dates” in her bed.

The married 34-year-old was arrested and subsequently confessed to having sexual intercourse with the child on the bed she usually shared with her husband at their residence. The newly released bodycam footage revealed the US teacher’s shocking 12-word confession after the arresting officer questioned her motives towards the young lad.

It was also heard in court that Bardfield had sent over £500 to the teenager over several months and swapped explicit photos with the boy on Snapchat.

When asked by the arresting officer why she sent nude pictures to the boy, she responded: “He kept asking and asking and asking and wouldn’t leave me alone.”

In a shocking twist, Bardfield told a police officer that the young boy made advances towards her and blamed him for the revolting incident. This revelation came about when the boy’s parents grew suspicious after observing their son’s unusual behaviour at home, reports the Daily Star.

The parents discovered that their 11-year-old had been visiting Bardfield’s house in Mount Zion, Illinois, after going through his mobile phone. These visits were referred to as “play dates” by Bardfield, one of which disturbingly led to a sexual encounter.

“The Texas Tech Police Department arrested a student for simple assault, which occurred on the west side of the Student Union Building (free speech area),” The Texas Tech Police Department said in a statement. “The student was transported to the Lubbock County Jail.”
