Virginia Democrats are advancing two bills to extend deadlines for receiving and counting mail-in absentee ballots several days after Election Day.
Delegate Adele McClure and State Senator Barbara Favola, who represent Arlington, have introduced companion bills, HB 82 and SB 58, which will extend the deadline for counting absentee ballots in Virginia from noon to 5 p.m. on the third day after Election Day, reported ARL Now.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” was the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
The United States has reportedly played a role in the Mexican military operation that resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as “El Mencho,” the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).
On Sunday, Oseguera Cervantes, who led one of Mexico’s most powerful criminal gangs and was a rival to the Sinaloa Cartel, was killed in the operation. The US State Department had previously offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his arrest.

Authorities have identified the armed intruder shot and killed early Sunday after breaching the secure perimeter at Mar-a-Lago as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin of North Carolina, according to the Associated Press.
Martin had reportedly been listed as missing by his family just days before the incident. Investigators believe he traveled south and obtained the shotgun along the way. A box for the weapon was discovered inside his vehicle after the shooting.
According to the AP:
“The man, who was in his early 20s and from North Carolina, had a gas can and a shotgun, according to Anthony Guglielmi, the spokesman. He had been reported missing by his family a few days ago, and investigators believe he headed south and picked up the shotgun along the way.”
Fox News broke the name of the shooter on air.

Activists have been recording exchanges with officers and uploading them online in a manner similar to anti-ICE activists who confront federal immigration agents.
Officers with the New York City Police Department are reportedly being harassed and doxxed by left-wing agitators who film encounters with them and post the footage on social media.
According to a report by the New York Post, activists have been recording exchanges with officers and uploading them online in a manner similar to anti-ICE activists who confront federal immigration agents.
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Leigh Finke claimed during a Thursday hearing that pornography could be “educational” for “queer” children while arguing against a law requiring age verification to access adult web sites.
The legislation HF 1434, would require age verification for sites deemed “harmful to minors,” with sites failing to do so being subject to civil action from the state attorney general and private citizens. Finke, a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman, claimed current sex education was not being provided for LGBT youth.
“The AGs in many states are, are very clear about that they’re almost jubilant about being able to use these laws to ban young people from accessing content that could be educational if they are queer,” Finke claimed during the Thursday hearing. “And you’re a principal, you have LGBT students in your school, and we also know that they’re not receiving sex education for queer kids. We know that. Prurient interest could be for many people the very existence of transgender kids. More and more people are saying there simply are no transgender kids.”
The father of one of the students, Bogdan Zaslavsky, said school staff witnessed the incident and did not intervene.
Students who participated in an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) walkout at a Kansas high school were seen assaulting classmates holding pro-Donald Trump flags, an incident that drew backlash and prompted the school’s principal to lock his social media.
Viral video showed two students at Olathe Northwest High School being attacked by other students while holding Trump flags during the anti-ICE walkout. One nearby anti-ICE student held a sign reading “End ICE brutality” as the students were attacked.
Actor Robert De Niro is once again claiming that President Donald Trump will refuse to leave office when his second term concludes in 2029, a prediction he has repeated multiple times since the 2024 election.
According to a preview reported by The Wrap, De Niro is set to appear on a podcast hosted by Nicolle Wallace and sponsored by MSNBC, where he reiterates his warning.
“Let’s not kid ourselves,” De Niro says in the preview.
“He will not leave. It’s up to us to get rid of him.”
This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist.
In one of their publications, the pro-abortion group NARAL states:
“Eggs and sperm are alive; so are bacteria and all plants and animals. Of course, embryos and fetuses are alive. That doesn’t mean, though, that abortion should be illegal or that it constitutes murder. The Supreme Court has said…that legal personhood begins with birth.”

On Thursday’s CNN This Morning, the panel reacted with alarm to reports that the Department of Homeland Security is compiling data on anti-ICE activists. Host Audie Cornish played a clip in which an ICE agent, in what she described as a “tossed off” remark, told a protester she was now considered a “domestic terrorist.” Cornish claimed that such language, once written into a report, “becomes a real problem for someone.”
Republican panelist Kristen Soltis Anderson urged viewers to “think about what would have happened during the Tea Party era, when the shoe’s on the other foot, about how upset conservatives would have been at the idea of the government tracking their speech in any kind of way. And so I always just think it’s useful to imagine, like, what if the parties were flipped here? And I think a lot of conservatives would be in, would be unbelievably outraged, and rightly so, if a Democratic administration was trying to track them.”
A manhunt is underway in Idaho for the dangerous individual who tried to blow up a building that houses Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offices in the city of Meridian, Wednesday.
During a press briefing Thursday, Meridian Police Chief Tracy Basterrechea said the suspect stole an ambulance from a bay at St. Luke’s West hospital and drove it through the parking lot to retrieve gas cans that were staged in nearby vegetation.
The alleged domestic terrorist then crashed the ambulance into the North Portico building, where the DHS offices are housed, Basterrechea said.
China on Monday urged the United States to cancel unilateral tariffs announced by President Donald Trump after the US Supreme Court struck down many of his measures, ruling he lacked authority under a 1977 law. Trump responded by unveiling new global import duties of up to 15% under different powers.

The EU’s top executive body has urged US President Donald Trump not to impose new tariffs on the bloc’s goods and to clarify his position following the US Supreme Court ruling that struck down most of his earlier measures.
On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump had no authority to impose tariffs under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). Trump responded by signing an order imposing a 10% global tariff through a different law and later said he would raise it to 15%. He denounced the justices who ruled against him as “a disgrace to the nation.”
Drones are increasingly violating American airspace. We know that tens of thousands of drone sightings on our southern border are connected with the Mexican drug and human trafficking cartels. But dozens of other drone sightings at sensitive military installations suggest hostile nation-state actors, most likely China.
As drone operations in Russia’s war on Ukraine show, the threat is no longer hypothetical — it is active and escalating. Unfortunately, a dangerous combination of bureaucratic inertia and misplaced priorities has left our borders and military installations vulnerable.
The Mexican state of Jalisco will remain under a “code red” Monday, with public transport and schools remaining closed, its governor said Sunday. The announcement follows a day of violence in the coastal city of Puerto Vallarta in the wake of a government announcement that the head of one of the country’s most powerful crime groups was dead.
Smoke from burning vehicles blackened the sky in Puerto Vallarta, a popular tourist destination on the Pacific coast. Similar scenes played out in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and across several states on Sunday morning.

New images inside Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘Lolita Express’ private jet show some of the chilling items that have been left on the aircraft, which is now abandoned.
Now rotting away in an aircraft yard in Georgia, newly released footage shows the plane deteriorating on an outdoor tarmac, its structure corroding and worn after long exposure to the elements. The new images have revealed the plane’s current state, which is a far cry from its days carrying high-profile passengers, including former President Bill Clinton.
President Claudia Sheinbaum urged Mexicans to remain calm and stay well-informed after a federal operation targeting Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes triggered a violent response from cartel henchmen.

Signs within China point to instability continuing in the wake of Chairman Xi’s recent purge of an attempted coup that appears to have been led by the-then second most powerful man in China, Zhang Youxia. Zhang was well-respected by the military, and they appear willing to send public signals they continue to support him.
That signal came through their newspaper, the Liberation Army Daily, which featured an article signaling support for an historic figure like Zhang Youxia, Zhang Guotao, who broke with Mao Zedong in the 30s. This was the first of six similar articles released following the reported arrest of Zhang Youxia.
Xi Jinping Has Turned China’s Military Against Him, and the Party’s Own Newspaper Proves It Vision Times
from news.google.com
On Feb. 11, the Liberation Army Daily, the official newspaper of China’s military, published yet another article invoking Zhang Guotao, a founding member of the Chinese Communist Party who broke with Mao Zedong in the 1930s and is remembered in Party mythology as the archetype of treachery and “splitting the Party and the army.” The article accused Zhang Guotao of “carrying out activities to split the Party and the Red Army,” language that transparently targets two recently purged military leaders: Zhang Youxia, the former vice chairman of China’s top military command body (the Central Military Commission), and Liu Zhenli, the former chief of the Joint Staff Department, China’s most senior operational military commander.
This was the sixth such article since Jan.16, the date that online sources say Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli were physically detained, eight days before their purge was officially announced on Jan. 24. All six articles share a revealing pattern: every one of them invokes the historical villain Zhang Guotao, and every one of them avoids mentioning Zhang Youxia or Liu Zhenli by name. The gap between the fury of the rhetoric and the absence of the actual targets’ names speaks volumes about how politically explosive these purges remain.
The six articles, with their dates and titles, are:
Jan. 18: “Courage Is Measured by What You Fear and What You Don’t”
Feb. 2: “Political Army-Building Special: Strong Organizations Make a Strong Army”
Democrat “lawmakers” in the insurrectionist state of Washington passed legislation that essentially raids the pensions of police and firefighters to the tune of $4 billion. They hope to use the stolen funds to plug a deficit in their budget caused by their own bloated socialist programs.
One recipient of that stolen money will be the “Climate Commitment Account,” which is a de facto DNC-CCP political slush fund that helps arm its street fighters we see across America on a regular basis, terrorizing cities and burning down businesses. They will receive over half a billion dollars, or 12.5% of the Police and Firefighters pension fund.
Washington Democrats Raid Police & Firefighter Pensions $4 Billion Pension Surplus to Fund Their Spending Spree, ALL REPUBLICANS VOTED NO – gellerreport.com
Washington State House Democrats have crossed a dangerous line. Billions stripped from those who serve — millions redirected to political pet projects.
In a brazen vote, they moved to siphon $4 billion out of pension funds meant for law enforcement officers and firefighters — the very people who risk their lives daily — to plug a deficit of their own making.
Every single Republican in the state House voted no.
But Democrats didn’t stop there. While draining retirement security from cops and first responders, they’re planning to funnel $569 million into the so-called Climate Commitment Account — a pet political project wrapped in green rhetoric.
If you want to get a sense of what DNC Islam rule is like, New York’s new Mayor, DNC Islamist Zohran Mamdani, is putting to flesh those policies. Already, Israeli companies are being forced out, the Muslim call to prayer is polluting New York airspace, and Mamdani is threatening to raise property taxes by 9.5% if New York state doesn’t give Mamdani the bloated budget he wants (a budget that is almost as much as the entire state of Florida).
Now, Mamdani is also bringing in violent radical Islamists into his government which includes a former CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) staffer. CAIR is considered a terrorist organization by Americans, though our own government so far has failed to recognize this reality. The operative, Faizi Ali, will now be New York City’s chief immigration officer. Expect an army of violent Islamist radicals to be imported to their new American caliphate HQ, New York City, a fallen city.
What could possibly go wrong?

ANALYSIS
University of Michigan departments and colleges continue to embrace “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” almost a year after officials promised to abandon a massive “strategic plan.”
In March 2025, former University of Michigan President Santa Ono announced that the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and the Office for Health Equity and Inclusion would close. The school also promised to discontinue its “DEI 2.0 Strategic Plan” and eliminate or reassign much of its affiliated staff. Ono’s embrace of DEI played a central role in his failed attempt to become the new president of the University of Florida.

Juliette Bryant says she first met Jeffrey Epstein when she was a 20-year-old psychology and philosophy student in Cape Town, South Africa, who modeled part time.
Her first interaction with the late American sex offender came by chance, when she was approached on a night out by a girl who offered to introduce her to a man who she said was described to her as American royalty.
“She said she knew a man who was here who was the ‘King Of America,’ and he was here with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. She told me that his best friend Leslie Wexner owns Victoria’s Secret and it would be a very good idea for me to meet them because it could possibly help with my modeling career,” Bryant told CBS News on Sunday. “So we went along to the restaurant where they were having dinner down the road. And sure enough, there they were. Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a few government officials from South Africa.”
