Following a White House roundtable discussion on Antifa-linked and other far-left violence on Wednesday, President Donald Trump indicated that he is preparing to designate the black bloc militant group as a foreign terrorist organization.
The move comes on the heels of the president’s decision to label the black bloc organization as a foreign terrorist group last month. Designating the group as a foreign terrorist organization would give prosecutors expanded powers to prosecute members, as well as individuals found to be involved with financing and supporting the group.
On Wednesday, a number of leading reporters on Antifa violence, in addition to other experts, participated in a roundtable discussion headed up by President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi. In attendance was Nick Sortor, a conservative journalist who was recently subjected to a controversial arrest by the Portland Police Bureau, and Andy Ngo, who is widely considered to be the leading voice on covering Antifa extremism in Portland and beyond.
Ngo suffered a brain bleed when he was brutally beaten by Antifa militants in Portland in 2019.
For two years now, the suffering of the 251 hostages snatched by Hamas terrorists during the October 7th massacre in Israel has been a stain on the conscience of the civilised world. Now the first phase of President Donald Trump’s peace deal promises the speedy release of the 48 remaining hostages held in Gaza – up to 20 of whom could still be alive.
Their release will be a joyful day for former British hostage Emily Damari, whose family I tried my best to support whilst she was in captivity. If his confident prediction that they will all be released “very soon” is fulfilled, then President Trump will deserve huge congratulations and heartfelt thanks — not only from the hostages’ desperate families — but from everybody who wants to see an end to terrorism and war in the Middle East.
If this happens, President Trump will surely also deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. He has proved again that he is an instinctive peacemaker, not a warmonger like too many of his predecessors in the White House.
Before Trump US policy was dominated by neo-cons, from both the Democratic and Republican parties, who seemed all for foreign wars and launched disastrous military campaigns in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere.
Imagine a future where the internet isn’t just fast, it’s fundamentally different. Where information doesn’t travel through cables in bits and bytes, but dances across space in entangled photons, instantaneously linking quantum computers continents apart. In this shimmering vision of tomorrow, the backbone of communication is no longer copper or fiber; it’s quantum light.
At the heart of this revolution is a peculiar phenomenon known as squeezed light, and a team of researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology believes it may be the key to unlocking scalable quantum networks. Their latest study, led by Fermilab scientist Alexandru Macridin, marks a pivotal step toward building a quantum internet, one that could transform scientific research, cryptography, and computing itself.
Quantum networks rely on entangled qubits: pairs of quantum bits that remain mysteriously connected, no matter how far apart they are. In quantum physics, entanglement is the ghostly thread that links particles across space, such that a change in one instantly affects the other. It’s a phenomenon Einstein famously referred to as “spooky action at a distance,” and it forms the cornerstone of quantum communication.
Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the two criminal charges he faces for allegedly lying to Congress.
Comey was indicted Sept. 25 for making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
But in his arraignment Wednesday, Comey pleaded not guilty to both charges and requested a jury trial, which has been scheduled for Jan. 5, 2026. The government says it expects the trial to take 2-3 days.
Comey is represented by former federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who is known for being the first to bring charges against Osama bin Laden in 1996.
The charges against Comey concern his 2020 testimony before Congress on the investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election. Comey briefly headed that investigation during his tenure as FBI director before President Donald Trump fired him in May 2017.
Trump hails election of ‘highly respected’ first female prime minister of Japan– www.washingtonexaminer.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump celebrated the election of the right-wing Sanae Takaichi as the likely next prime minister of Japan.
Takaichi is set to become the first female prime minister of Japan after she won the presidency of the Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan almost uninterrupted since 1955. Feminists on the left aren’t celebrating, however, as Takaichi has distinguished herself as a hard-line conservative.

“Japan has just elected its first female Prime Minister, a highly respected person of great wisdom and strength. This is tremendous news for the incredible people of Japan. Congratulations to all!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, signing his name at the end.
Trump’s congratulations are likely more than a simple nicety. Takaichi’s right-wing views are in line with those of her U.S. counterpart. She also boasts one of Trump’s best friends on the international stage as her mentor, the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Takaichi is also known for her hard-line views on China, a key priority that plays into Trump’s vision for the Indo-Pacific region. She’s also expressed her opposition to immigration to Japan, one of Trump’s central issues.
Bacteria hidden inside tumors could help beat cancer– www.sciencedaily.com Source Link Excerpt:
An international team of scientists led by researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS), Imperial College London and the University of Cologne have discovered that microbes associated with tumors produce a molecule, which can control cancer progression and boost the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
Most people are familiar with the microbes on our skin or in our gut, but recent discoveries have revealed that tumors also host unique communities of bacteria. Scientists are now investigating how these tumor-associated bacteria can affect tumor growth and the response to chemotherapy.
New research, published online in Cell Systems on September 10, 2025, provides a significant breakthrough in this field, identifying a powerful anti-cancer metabolite produced by bacteria associated with colorectal cancer. This finding opens the door to new strategies for treating cancer, including the development of novel drugs that could make existing therapies more potent.
The researchers used a sophisticated large-scale screening approach to test over 1,100 conditions in a type of microscopic worm called C. elegans. Through this, they found that the bacteria E. coli produced a molecule called 2-methylisocitrate (2-MiCit) that could improve the effectiveness of the chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU).
Trump Convinces Supreme Court to Review Hawaii Gun Restriction Case– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
At President Donald Trump’s request, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review Hawaii’s gun law that restricts people from carrying a firearm on private property unless the owner specifically allows it.
The Trump administration encouraged the high court to rule on the Hawaii law in light of its 2022 ruling that expanded Second Amendment protections broadly.
Three Hawaii residents sued the state’s Democrat attorney general, Anne E. Lopez, and the lower courts split on the decision.
The district court blocked the law, but the appeals court reversed the decision.
Jimmy Kimmel’s Ratings Collapse, Only Took ‘Comedian’ 5 Shows to End Up Back in the Basement– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Love him or hate him, that adage did bear true when ABC semi-funnyman Jimmy Kimmel was yanked off airwaves for lying about the Charlie Kirk assassin in mid-September.
Kimmel came back from his five-day suspension to an undeniably massive audience: 6.48 million viewers, according to Mediaite.
But if absence makes the heart grow fonder, does presence make the heart grow weary?
Love him or hate him, that appears to be true about Kimmel, as well.
Greta Thunberg among 171 flotilla activists deported from Israel after failed bid to reach Gaza– www.euronews.com Source Link Excerpt:
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau are amongst 171 flotilla activists deported by Israel to Greece and Slovakia on Monday after a failed bid to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza last week.
The flotilla’s goal had been to break Israel’s long-standing blockade of the Strip and to bring crucial aid into the war-ravaged enclave.
“The deportees are citizens of Greece, Italy, France, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, Switzerland, Norway, the UK, Serbia, and the United States,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry wrote on X, attaching photograhs of the released activists in white T-shirts and grey sweatpants.
Several activists were already released over the weekend by Israel to Turkey, Spain and Italy. They spoke to reporters about the harsh conditions Thunberg and other prisoners were subjected to. Earlier, Swiss and Spanish activists said they were subject to inhumane conditions.
“We were detained in a maximum security prison where there was no rule of law, they didn’t respect any of our rights,” former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau claimed.

Steak ‘n Shake Will Install the Biggest Possible American Flags at Its Restaurants Nationwide – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
Whether the move is genuine or just shows that Steak ‘n Shake has an uncanny ability to read the room, the hamburger chain last night did something that is sure to win over more than a few American patriots. In a post on X, Steak ‘n Shake revealed that it’s begun American flag installations at its branches.
The flag installations have begun at Steak n Shake.
Every Steak n Shake is getting the tallest and biggest American flag that local governments will allow!
Because local zoning ordinances vary from location to location, Steak ‘n Shake said that the size of the flags and flag poles will be dictated by what is permissible in each location, but the policy itself is to erect the largest flags and tallest poles possible.
In response, X posters were universally supportive with a huge response, starting with none other than X owner Elon Musk, who replied to Steak ‘n Shake’s post, “I’m ordering from there tomorrow!”
White House Notches Significant Court Victory On ‘Sanctuary City’ Funding– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A federal judge in Massachusetts denied a request for an injunction sought by two “sanctuary cities” in the state — Chelsea and Somerville — that sought to bar the Trump Administration from withholding federal funds due to their support for illegal aliens.
Somerville and Chelsea had requested a preliminary injunction in June, arguing that the targeting of cities and towns over their “sanctuary” policies — which openly defy federal immigration law by barring local authorities from working with immigration agents — is unconstitutional and at odds with advice from local law enforcement, according to a report from the Boston Herald.
The cities have also claimed that if the federal government withheld funds while their legal challenges were ongoing, there would be “irreparable harm” to municipal services.
U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton indicated that he was not buying those arguments when he denied the request for an injunction on Friday. In his Judge Gorton noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has not frozen any particular funding, denied any grant application or withheld any reimbursement from plaintiffs.”
Judge Rules Biden’s Offshore Oil Drilling Ban Illegal– conservativeroof.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Joe Biden’s ban on offshore drilling in certain parts of the ocean and the Gulf of America was illegal, a federal judge ruled on Oct. 2.
U.S. District Judge James Cain of Louisiana ruled that both Biden and President Barack Obama went beyond their authority when they banned offshore drilling in parts of the Outer Continental Shelf because the bans were imposed without an expiration date.
Their orders “purported to apply for ‘a period of time without specific expiration,’ i.e., indefinitely,” Cain wrote in a 16-page decision. That “constituted a departure from the executive branch’s longstanding practice” and exceeded the authority outlined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, he added. Biden, on Jan. 6, shortly before his term ended, barred oil and gas leasing across 625 million acres of ocean, including the entire East and West coasts.
“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs,” Biden said in a statement at the time. “It is not worth the risks.”
On Jan. 17, several groups and five states sued the government over the action.

The Washington Post has executed a sweeping round of layoffs in its Opinion section, firing more than a dozen employees, including longtime veterans and contractors.
This move comes amid ongoing financial struggles and internal shake-ups at the Jeff Bezos-owned outlet.
According to reports, the layoffs were orchestrated by Adam O’Neal, the newly appointed Opinion Editor, as part of a broader plan to “shake up” the section.
New York Times media reporter Ben Mullin broke the story on X, stating: “Scoop: Adam O’Neal, the new Opinion Editor at The Washington Post, is laying off staffers as part of a plan to shake up the section. A source says six employees are affected. I’ve also been told some contractors are being terminated.”
Mullin shared an internal email from O’Neal outlining the changes, which emphasized streamlining operations but offered little insight into the financial motivations behind the cuts.

New York University has agreed to host a free speech event featuring law scholar Ilya Shapiro after initially canceling it due to security concerns.
The event is set for Oct. 7, coinciding with the two-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel, and will discuss free speech controversies and campus antisemitism.
Shapiro criticized NYU for its initial cancellation, suggesting it reflected a bias against non-progressive speakers and described the situation as a classic heckler’s veto.
New York University has “magically found a way to host” an event featuring law scholar Ilya Shapiro, agreeing to secure a venue for the speech on campus after administrators initially canceled the event, citing security concerns.

DOJ Opens Investigation Into Portland Police After Weeks Of Violent Rioting– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
The U.S. Justice Department is opening an investigation into the Portland Police Bureau’s “questionable” practice surrounding weeks of sustained attacks and violent rioting targeting federal buildings and agents in the city.
The news was announced just hours after conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested by Portland Police after he was surrounded by a mob of far-left rioters, some of whom damaged his equipment and ultimately assaulted him. Despite the circumstances of the attack, Sortor was taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct.
Just a day before, on-the-ground reporter Katie Daviscourt — who has consistently documented far-left and Antifa violence in Portland, Seattle and other cities — was assaulted with a metal poll. The incident was captured on camera, though the perpetrator was not arrested despite the fact that an officer was standing just feet away.
The Portland Police Bureau confirmed that one of its “dialogue liaison officers,” sworn officers tasked with “hold[ing] a safe space” for protesters, lost track of the suspect. The DLO followed the woman, who was described as a white female with a large septum nose piercing wearing a black mask and carrying a backpack, trying to talk to her to “hear her side of the story,” according to a news release from the department.

White House to investigate Kentucky parole board that released crazed child-killer 13 years early | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com Source Link Excerpt:
The White House has announced that it will be looking into the case of a child killer who was freed from prison after less than a decade in prison. Ronald Exantus, 42, stabbed an entire family in 2015, killing a 6-year-old boy. Today, he is walking free after being released 13 years early.
“I can confirm the White House is looking into this. It’s wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X in response to a video about the case.
Logan Tipton, 6, was repeatedly slashed in the head by Exantus on the night of December 7, 2015, after the intruder broke into their home. When Dean Tipton confronted the killer, he was stabbed and then tossed 10-15 feet by Exantus. The daughter in the family, Dakota, described the crimes.
“He stabbed me in the back. And then stomped on my head,” she said. “And I remember waking up across the room, not where I was at, and I looked and he was killing Logan and Logan was screaming.” Exantus was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018 on only assault charges as the jury found him not guilty of murder, citing insanity. On October 1, he was released on parole because of good behavior and educational credit.
ICE Tops 1000 Arrests in Chicago as SCOTUS Gives Immigration Enforcement Win – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
The U.S. Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a win against mass amnesty as ICE Chicago topped more than 1000 arrests of illegal aliens in one of the most challenging and crime-infested sanctuary cities in America.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem came to Chicago to oversee enforcement action and its results as Operation Midway Blitz there continues at full force, despite resistance from state and local Democrat politicians. The arrested illegal aliens that Democrats are bewailing include pedophiles, kidnappers, gang members, child abusers, and armed robbers, according to a DHS press release.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin proudly highlighted the new numbers. “During Operation Midway Blitz, our brave DHS law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests across Illinois including of pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers,” she stated. “Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children. Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois safe again.”
Among the arrestees are Mexican illegals Rafael Alberto Tolentino Martinez, previously convicted of aggravated domestic battery of a three-year-old, and Marco Geronimo Ocampo, arrested before this for domestic battery, armed
BREAKING: DOJ Removes Another High-Ranking Deep State Prosecutor in Virginia Following Comey Indictment– conservativeroof.com Source Link Excerpt:
Another high-ranking prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia has been fired.
Last month, President Trump fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff, and others.
Shortly after Siebert’s firing, Lindsey Halligan, the new Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey. However, the night before Lindsey Halligan indicted Comey, Deep State prosecutors in the EDVA, leaked a memo in an effort to defend Comey. “Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA US attorney’s office presented newly sworn US attorney Lindsey Halligan with a memo explaining why charges should not be brought against James Comey, because there isn’t enough evidence to establish probable cause a crime was committed, let alone enough to convince a jury to convict him,” MSNBC’s Ken Dilanian said.
Of course, the memo, pressure, and leaks didn’t stop Lindsey Halligan from indicting James Comey.
Federal Requirement for Proof of Citizenship to Vote Could Arrive– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
Election integrity advocates are pushing the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to require documented proof of citizenship for federal voter registration forms.
More than 15,700 people have made public comments, mostly in support of the rule. The public comment period closes on Oct. 20. America First Legal, a conservative government watchdog, filed the petition with the EAC in July.
“There have been important documented cases of noncitizens registered to vote and of noncitizens voting,” James Rogers, senior counsel to America First Legal, told The Daily Signal.
“Thousands have been taken off the voter rolls,” Rogers continued. “But some states don’t check. In most states it’s not a robust system, but an honor system or pinky swear. You check a box yes or no if you are a citizen. If someone were going to illegally vote, they wouldn’t think twice about lying on a form.”
The federal voter registration form is a baseline that states are required to have under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act, though most states also have their own registration forms. If adopted, the rule would apply to the federal form.
Trump Unleashes Federal Power to Liberate Portland from Antifa’s Grip– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
A wave of retribution is flowing toward Portland, Oregon, from the White House after the arrest of conservative journalist Nick Sortor there on Thursday night.
Sortor’s arrest on a misdemeanor charge inflamed an already tense situation, leading Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon to tell the Portland police that they are under investigation.
On Friday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt noted that the incident, coupled with antifa protests against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that led President Donald Trump to authorize the use of troops to protect ICE, and Trump’s declaration of antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, was the last straw.
In a video posted to X, she noted that Sortor “was ambushed by antifa and was defending himself from these assaults.”

In a New Decision, Supreme Court Permits Trump to End Biden-Era Protections for Hundreds of Thousands of Venezuelans– conservativeroof.com Source Link Excerpt:
The US Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Trump to end the Biden-era protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
The decision was 6-3. All three liberal justices dissented.
Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fumed in her dissent. “I cannot abide our repeated, gratuitous, and harmful interference with cases pending in the lower courts while lives hang in the balance, I dissent,” Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote. “We once again use our equitable power (but not our opinion-writing capacity) to allow this Administration to disrupt as many lives as possible, as quickly as possible,” Jackson added.
The Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for up to 600,000 Venezuelan immigrants, meaning some could ultimately be deported.
The court granted an emergency request filed by the Trump administration seeking to block a judge’s ruling that said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem failed to follow the correct process in revoking Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans.
The Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, in May granted an earlier emergency request filed by the Trump administration in the same case.
The latest filing came after California-based U.S. District Judge Edward Chen on Sept. 5 again ruled against the administration, this time in the form of a final decision rather than a preliminary one.

Antifa Member Confronts Person in Freedom Shirt—and Learns the Hard Way– www.louderwithcrowder.com Source Link Excerpt:
Protesting in Portland every night already says a lot about you—but this video proves just how ridiculously pathetic it can get. One Antifa member may have realized that the hard way.
In the video, we see an Antifa member kick a man who appears to lean more right-wing than his attacker. The man responds in what some might call self-defense, and—well—the Antifa member ends up taken down. Or, in other words, he f**ed around and found out. What’s astonishing, though, is that both were arrested. While I wasn’t there, and it’s unclear exactly what the police saw, the video clearly shows who threw the first kick.
What I found so bizarre is that the lib instinctively chose to kick rather than throw a punch. I’m not sure what that says, but clearly, he had no clue what he was doing and gambled his chances, which he clearly lost.
But I think what’s even more bizarre is him intentionally going limp on the floor, forcing the police officer to carry him instead of walking to the cruiser—a move more immature than a toddler throwing a tantrum. I don’t know about you, but that part felt pretty unsettling to me.
