Democrats Move To Take Pay Away From Trump, Vance, And White House During Shutdown– www.politicususa.com

Democrats are getting aggressive with their moves to draw a distinction between the rich elites who have shut down the government, leaving hundreds of thousands of federal workers without pay, while they are still collecting paychecks.

Other members of Congress have introduced legislation to prevent members of the House and Senate from getting paid during the shutdown, but Rep. John Larson not only wants to not pay members of Congress, he also wants to not pay Donald Trump, JD Vance, and White House officials.

Besides making sure that Congress doesn’t paid during the shutdown, Larson’s bill also states that Trump and Vance aren’t getting paid:

(a) HOLDING SALARIES IN ESCROW.—If on any day during a pay period occurring during the term of office of the President or Vice President a Government shutdown is in effect, the Director of the Office of Personnel Management shall— (1) deposit in an escrow account and exclude from the payments otherwise required to be made with respect to that pay period for the compensation of the President and the Vice President an amount equal to the product of— (A) the daily rate of pay of the President or Vice President (as the case may be) under applicable law;

Florida Gov. DeSantis Aims to End Property Taxes – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Fox News that, since he sees property taxes as people unjustly being forced to rent their homes from the government, an upcoming ballot measure in Florida will look to end property taxes in his state.

DeSantis cannot unilaterally abolish property taxes in the state, which he says would require a state constitutional alteration. Thus, the measure would require 60% of the vote next year in Florida to pass. But if DeSantis is right in his prognostications, and homeowners or future homeowners are sane, the measure should certainly become law there within the next couple of years. This is a major opportunity in the 2026 midterms for Florida citizens.

DeSantis explained the process on Fox, “We got to put it on the ballot, and the voters have to approve it. It’s a constitutional issue in Florida; it’s not something the state derives revenue for, it’s a local issue.”

Over 2,700 illegal aliens have infiltrated Texas voter rolls, according to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. Nelson revealed that after running the 18 million registered voters in the Lone Star State through the federal SAVE database, officials discovered 2,724 potential non-citizens listed as voters.

Nelson said in a statement posted on her website, “Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections.”

“The Trump Administration’s decision to give states free and direct access to this data set for the first time has been a game changer, and we appreciate the partnership with the federal government to verify the citizenship of those on our voter rolls and maintain accurate voter lists,” she added.

Trump suggests Ukraine may have to trade land for peace with Russia – National– globalnews.ca

Ukrainian drones struck a major gas processing plant in southern Russia, sparking a fire and forcing it to suspend its intake of gas from Kazakhstan, Russian and Kazakh authorities said Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump meanwhile suggested that Kyiv may have to give up territory in exchange for an end to Moscow’s more than three-and-a-half-year invasion, in the latest of apparent reversals on how to pursue peace.

The Orenburg plant, run by state-owned gas giant Gazprom and located in a region of the same name near the Kazakh border, is part of a production and processing complex that is one of the world’s largest facilities of its kind, with an annual capacity of 45 billion cubic meters. It handles gas condensate from Kazakhstan’s Karachaganak field, alongside Orenburg’s own oil and gas fields.

A federal judge once accused of waging war on Trump-era policies has been tapped to oversee former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s high-profile criminal case — and conservatives are furious.

Judge Theodore D. Chuang, appointed by Barack Obama, has a long record of rulings that rubbed conservatives the wrong way. Now, he’s been assigned to the Bolton case, where the former national security chief faces 18 total counts for allegedly mishandling classified information through a personal email account potentially compromised by foreign hackers.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) blasted the move on X, calling out Chuang’s political history and left-leaning track record.

A letter sent to the public from Fairfax County School Superintendent, Dr. Michelle Reid, attempts to suggest that there is no truth behind the statements of the teacher at the center of this story. It is disturbing that this has been made public at this time before the findings of the Virginia State Police are concluded and made public.

The letter also links to statements prepared to respond to both the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee inquiry, as well as the request for information from the U.S. Dept of Education.  It was prepared by the multi-million-dollar New York- based international law firm that was hired by FCPS recently to deal with these charges.

Epstein Victim Names ‘Well-Known Prime Minister’ In Stunning Memoir– trendingpoliticsnews.com

The memoir of a woman whose allegations helped expose Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking network will be released soon, and intriguing details from the text are already emerging.

Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, promises to pull back the veil on the “well-known prime minister” she says brutalized her—and the layers of complicity surrounding that abuse.

In the book, Giuffre writes of a terrifying incident: trapped in the house of a powerful politician, she begged Epstein for help as the man attacked her. “After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool,” she reflects. “Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrified I felt made it clear that he was simply a manipulator.”

If all three remain in the race, Mamdani continues to have a substantial lead, taking in 43.2 percent support to Cuomo’s 28.9 percent and Sliwa’s 19.4 percent.

A new poll has found that if the New York City mayoral race was between just socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani and former Governor Andrew Cuomo, the independent candidate comes within striking distance of Mamdani.

The Gotham Polling/AARP poll found that if Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa dropped out of the race, 44.6 percent of New Yorkers would vote for Mamdani, while 40.7 percent would vote for Cuomo, putting the former New York head within the margin of error of four points. The poll surveyed 1,040 likely voters over two days last week.

DEI Industry Dying as Trump clamps down on racist policies

pgnewser October 22, 2025 0

September’s job postings reveal a 50% drop in DEI-related job postings compared to pre-pandemic levels. The peak of DEI job postings was in 2022, when 10,000 jobs were posted, compared to the pace of 1,500 for this year so far.

The Trump administration’s policies had a direct impact on DEI incentives, penalizing government-funded companies and banning DEI policies in government institutions. So far, under President Trump, 38% of DEI employees were moved into non-DEI roles, 55% moved to another company in a non-DEI role, leaving only 7% still in DEI positions.

Blurb:

The plight of corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) jobs is only getting worse as the Trump administration’s crackdown takes hold, new employment research shows.

As of September, job postings for diversity roles have plunged roughly 50% from pre-pandemic levels, falling to about 1,500 this year, according to Revelio Labs data reported by Bloomberg. By comparison, DEI-related postings nearly quadrupled in 2022, reaching approximately 10,000.

When President Donald Trump took office in January, DEI job postings were about 6% above 2019 levels, according to the outlet.

This legislation is in response to the “rapidly deteriorating” conditions for Christians in Nigeria, who are being abducted, targeted, and murdered by the tens of thousands.

The majority of the panel agreed with the Trump administration that the threat from protesters to federal facilities could not be addressed by existing law enforcement.

As national discussion surrounding political violence has intensified, Democrats are continuing to endorse a candidate who admitted to sending text messages calling for the death of a Republican opponent and his family. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) is the latest Democrat official to double down on supporting Democratic nominee for Attorney General of Virginia Jay Jones, despite the candidate’s violent rhetoric.

Kaine has repeatedly refused to withdraw his endorsement for Jones’s campaign, insisting, “I’m still supporting Jay Jones.” In an interview Sunday, the senator was asked if his position was hypocritical and whether or not he would insist that a hypothetical Republican who made similar violent comments should retire his campaign.

Duke math professor Jonathan Mattingly conducted an analysis to discover if a new Trump-supported congressional map in North Carolina would result in the Republican Party locking in additional seats. The answer, he uncovered, is a resounding yes.

Three days before publishing his results on Sunday, the GOP revealed another mid-decade congressional map proposal that would bolster the party’s grip in Congress. It does so by expanding the boundaries of the state’s 1st Congressional District, which is currently held by Democrat Don Davis, pulling in some of the 3rd Congressional District, which is represented by Republican Greg Murphy.

Cincinnati’s woke police chief embarrassed the badge one time too many, causing the city council to have to take action– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Blurb:

If there’s one thing the City of Cincinnati has done as of late, it’s putting Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge on administrative leave. You don’t have to be a legal expert to understand that she has done nothing for the city’s crime problem — and if I didn’t know any better, I might even say things have gotten worse under her watch. However, I do know better, so that is neither here nor there.

According to WCPO:

“The City continues to face serious public safety challenges that underscore the need for stability at the command level. Therefore, I’ve named Assistant Chief Adam Hennie as Interim Police Chief,” City Manager Sheryl Long said in a statement. “Our focus remains on maintaining stability within the department and ensuring the highest standards of service to our residents.

When she became chief, Theetge spoke at length about addressing ongoing gun violence, as well as officer wellness and recruiting. Those three items continued to be top issues in Cincinnati during her tenure.

While police data showed that shootings are down within city limits, data from the summer also showed that crime reports in downtown Cincinnati were on the rise. That includes home burglaries, hundreds of vehicle break-ins and a violent August fight that garnered national attention.

Yes, the ‘No Kings’ Rallies Were Ridiculous. But the Democrats Still Won a Big PR Victory. – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Blurb:

… In the lead-up to the “No Kings” protests on Oct. 18, the Democrats faced fierce perceptual headwinds — and from multiple directions, too. First, their own base despised ‘em for committing the one unforgivable sin: They lost the popular vote to “literally Hitler.”

That’s problematic, because modern elections are increasingly won or lost on turnout. It’s less about wooing the undecideds and more about ginning up the diehards.

But in the DNC’s eyes, there was no need to panic because American elections are binary decisions: It doesn’t matter how much you hate your own party — as long as you hate the other party more! And although President Trump has done a great deal to demotivate the left, he hasn’t converted them to his side. (Trump’s approval rating amongst liberals still hovers in the single digits.)

President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a critical minerals agreement to counter China, which is holding tight to its own rare earth metals.

According to Bloomberg, Australia “holds the world’s fourth-largest deposits of rare earths.”

With China trying to control the rare earths and critical minerals market, Australia hopes to become “a viable alternative” for countries.

Australia has these key elements:

  • Neodymium and praseodymium: needed for high-strength magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines
  • Dysprosium and terbium: needed for magnets used in high temperatures
  • Lanthanum and cerium: used in catalytic converters and batteries
  • Europium and gadolinium: needed for phosphors used in screens and medical imaging

Zohran Mamdani’s Anti-Gay Connections Keep Growing — and New Yorkers Should Notice– townhall.com

In Ian Fleming’s 1959 James Bond novel Goldfinger, he wrote, “Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.”

When it comes to NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, we’ve now got him linked to two anti-gay figures. Is that, as Fleming said, a coincidence? Or part of a larger pattern?

Two weeks ago, we learned that Mamdani is acquainted with Rebecca Kadaga, the Ugandan politician who supported legislation that would imprison gays in Uganda for life. Mamdani denied knowing Kadaga, but the New York Post revealed she’s got ties to his family, who own a massive compound in the African nation.

Now we’re learning Mamdani’s imam pal, Siraj Wahhaj, is also anti-gay.

Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for New York City mayor just hit another bump in the road, and this one might actually matter to Democratic voters. The socialist darling who’s been cruising toward what looks like a likely victory next month now finds himself tied to a second figure with a history of virulent anti-gay rhetoric.

While his terror-tied associations might not ruffle too many feathers among the city’s Democratic base, homophobia could be a different story entirely.

Earlier this month, the New York Post revealed that Mamdani “flashed a beaming smile in a cringeworthy photo with a top Ugandan official who pushed harsh anti-LGBT policies — that included life imprisonment for gay people.”
