Last weekend, an explosion ripped through railway tracks near Warsaw, Poland, tearing open a NATO-linked supply route feeding Ukraine’s war effort. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the explosion an “unprecedented act of sabotage,” as early reports from the scene confirmed that military aid shipments moved along the same corridor.
The same Department of Justice partisans who played key roles in the launch and cover of the FBI’s politically driven Arctic Frost investigation killed a criminal probe into the driver of the Russia collusion hoax, according to new emails released Thursday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.
The emails, dating back to 2019 at the height of the hoax, expose DOJ players freezing investigative efforts to look into campaign finance violations committed by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. As became clear over time (no thanks to the accomplice media), the failed 2016 Democrat presidential candidate’s campaign and the DNC pushed opposition research to fuel a deep state soft coup aimed at toppling President Donald Trump’s first term in office.
In 2022, the Federal Election Commission fined the Clinton campaign and the DNC for “misreporting” (disguising) campaign funds paid to Fusion GPS to deliver the infamous Steele dossier that falsely and maliciously accused the Trump campaign of colluding with the Kremlin.
A violent “protester” named “Jihad” was arrested on charges of assault and robbery following a brutal confrontation at a Turning Point USA rally at the University of California, Berkeley.
Antifa thugs attacked conservative attendees at the event on November 10, marking the two-month anniversary of the organization’s founder, Charlie Kirk, Breitbart reported.
The man in custody allegedly stole a necklace from someone in the crowd, which led to a fight.
Both the victim, who was wearing a red shirt emblazoned with “Freedom” like the one Kirk wore on the day he died, and the alleged perpetrator, Jihad Dphrepaulezz, were left bloody from the confrontation.
A spokesman for the Berkeley Police Department said:
“Officers determined that one of the men — Jihad Dphrepaulezz — had stolen the other man’s chain from around his neck.
The entrepreneurs who are part of the booming school safety industry face a cruel irony: they are dependent on the uniquely American epidemic of school shootings.
“Every time there is a shooting, we see an uptick in business,” says one, featured in the new HBO documentary Thoughts and Prayers, who sells bulletproof wall art and skateboards. “Every time there is a tragedy, it economically benefits my family. That’s not what I wanted. We could be a $300 million company by the time this documentary airs.”
There are, as the documentary shows, bulletproof desks that can double as shields, blackout shutters to block visibility into classrooms, and video game simulations that test how teachers respond to a fake threat of a school shooter. The school safety industry has become an estimated $4 billion juggernaut, aided in part by a $1 billion infusion from Congress in 2022 to support mental health services and infrastructure upgrades, instead of meaningful gun reform.
Despite the documentary’s critique of the American gun culture that has given rise to mass shootings, political debates and depictions of gun violence are absent from the film. Instead, there are sit-down interviews with teachers reluctantly learning how to shoot guns and kids learning to live with the looming threat of mass shootings. The filmmakers were also present for lockdown drills and a highly realistic mass casualty simulation at a school district in Oregon that included volunteer students portraying gunshot victims. For co-directors Jessica Dimmock and Zackary Canepari, the goal of making the documentary was to “look at what people are trying to do” to combat mass shootings, Dimmock told me, “and ask the audience to consider whether or not this is going to work. And do we want to live like this?”
Progressives in higher education are not listening to the country on this topic; they just keep doubling down.
UMich faculty senate urges school to continue performing sex changes for minors
The Faculty Senate at the University of Michigan passed a resolution at its Nov. 3 meeting that pushes the university to resume performing sex changes on minors.
The resolution argues that because “cisgender” patients receive hormone blockers, the university is discriminating against transgender-identifying individuals by refusing to give them care. The resolution does not elaborate further, but could be referring to treatments for precocious puberty, a condition in which young children go through puberty at a very early age.
The university paused “gender-affirming care” at Michigan Medicine for patients under 19 on Aug. 25, due to federal pressure. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January that threatened loss of federal funding for institutions that failed to eliminate the practice.
Since the Democrats swept the 2025 mid-midterms, the MSM is already talking about an “upset” in the 35 midterm U.S. Senate races.
The RCP average is now flashing “red”, with President Trump at 42.3% approval, versus 54.7% disapproval. Trump has been at the dangerous 43% approval number since November 3 (which is unfortunate, since that is also my birthday ☹). This is Bush territory, and as such, it could lead to a “blue wave” if it is left unchecked.
SNAP is hemorrhaging cash to corpses and cheats, with 29 states uncovering a trail of dead recipients, double payments, and able-bodied freeloaders milking the system.
The nation’s food-stamp program is rotten to the core: thousands of dead “beneficiaries,” 500,000 double-paid scammers, and blue states stonewalling the data.
SNAP fraud is out of control, and the numbers we HAVE prove it.
Data from just 29 states uncovered nearly 200,000 people with dead people’s social security numbers… Meanwhile, 21 states are suing to keep their data hidden.
Why block transparency unless the truth is worse than… pic.twitter.com/XAjHKncCfp

The proposition granting the Democrat-controlled legislature authority to redraw California’s congressional districts won by a decisive margin, but the Trump administration is suing to stop the gerrymandering scheme.
On Thursday the Department of Justice filed to join a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the law that would allow Democrats to possibly flip five Republican seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.
‘Race cannot be used as a proxy to advance political interests, but that is precisely what the California General Assembly did with Prop. 50.’
Did Gavin Newsom forget that the Department of Justice arrested the suspect believed to have started the Palisades fire in January? Because he’s still out there blaming an invisible climate that no one can see, feel, or comprehend—despite all the evidence proving otherwise.
According to Newsom, the climate is “climate-ing.” You know, dryness is dry and hotter is hot—a concept that shouldn’t be blamed on invisible, evil forces. But, of course, Newsom doesn’t care about this little thing called “facts,” which is why he went on to blame climate change for his state’s failures.
And don’t take their failures lightly. Although the blaze was originally started by arson, according to officials, there are still reports that firefighters were ordered not to monitor the fire closely—despite knowing that winds were reaching 100 mph.
Axios claims Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will run for president in 2028 by professing his conservative views while attacking Tucker Carlson.
I have to admit that it’s a great way to showcase your traditional conservative views.
But it will likely put him against Vice President JD Vance:
Why it matters: By poking at Carlson’s isolationist foreign policy views, accusing him of antisemitism and more, Cruz is putting himself on a collision course with Vice President Vance, a Carlson ally widely seen as the 2028 GOP frontrunner.
- The senator also is diving into issues that are tearing at President Trump’s MAGA movement, namely ideological differences over Israel.
- “We have a responsibility to speak out even when it’s uncomfortable,” Cruz said in a statement to Axios. “When voices in our own movement push dangerous and misguided ideas, we can’t look the other way. I won’t hesitate to call out those who peddle destructive, vile rhetoric and threaten our principles and our future. Silence in the face of recklessness is not an option.”
President Donald Trump weighed in on a pair of Indiana Republicans involved in thwarting redistricting efforts in the Hoosier State ahead of next year’s midterm elections. As you might have guessed, he wasn’t pleased with their actions.
As reported by RedState’s Teri Christoph, Indiana’s Republican Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray announced earlier this week that the chamber, controlled by the GOP, would not reconvene in December to vote on redistricting.
Bray, along with state Sen. Greg Goode (R), was the target of the President’s ire as he railed against their “politically correct” cowardice for developing an acute case of weak knees at the thought of redistricting.
“Very disappointed in Indiana State Senate Republicans, led by RINO Senators Rod Bray and Greg Goode, for not wanting to redistrict their State, allowing the United States Congress to perhaps gain two more Republican seats,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social media platform.
Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran told Fox News that deportations are slowing inflation.
“A significant amount of the inflation that we experienced for years is because we through millions of new people into the country without sufficiently expanding the housing stock and sufficient expansion of other forms of fixed capital,” Miran said.
President Donald Trump says Americans won’t have to wait much longer to see direct benefits from his tariff policies. In new comments made on Monday, President Trump revealed that the administration expects to begin issuing “tariff dividend checks” as early as the middle of next year, delivering thousands of dollars to middle and moderate income households.
During remarks, Trump detailed how the United States has collected “hundreds of millions of dollars in tariff money,” which he argues has both strengthened American industry and created a surplus that can now be returned directly to taxpayers.
“We’re going to be issuing dividends later on, somewhere prior to, probably in the middle of next year, a little bit later than that, of thousands of dollars for individuals of moderate income, middle income. We’re going to pay down debt. We have a lot of money from tariffs,” Trump said.
The Trump administration’s immigration enforcement operations have expanded to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Operation Charlotte’s Web launched on Saturday, as federal agents aimed to arrest criminal illegal aliens.
‘An illegal alien from Mexico gets deported 4 times, strolls back to Charlotte, then racks up a hit & run AND a DUI/DWI?’
Of the 900,000 residents in Charlotte, 150,000 are foreign-born, according to CBS News.
The Department of Homeland Security blamed “sanctuary politicians” for the state’s failure to honor 1,400 detainer requests, choosing instead to release offenders back onto the streets.
While President Donald Trump launches an initiative to make America affordable again, Democrats are crafting their own messaging on cost of living, an issue that will likely define the midterms.
One of the most recent Democrat politicians to seize on topics of affordability is Amy Acton, a medical doctor who is running to be the Democrat nominee for the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election.
In a recent post on social media, the Ohio doctor attacked her potential Republican opponent in the general election, former biotechnology executive Vivek Ramaswamy, over comments he had made in 2024 about American culture.
Per new polling reported by Gallup, religion is no longer important to most Americans.
In response to the question “Is religion an important part of your daily life?” 49% said yes.
Ten years ago, in 2015, 66% responded affirmatively.
Gallup notes that this 17-point drop “ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.”
This departure from religion has partisan characteristics.
The chaos, harassment, and violence that unfolded at a recent TPUSA event at UC Berkeley were so bad that the Department of Justice and FBI are now investigating.
“Antifa is an existential threat to our nation,” Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote on X following the event. “The violent riots at UC Berkeley last night are under full investigation by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force. We will continue to spare no expense unmasking all who commit and orchestrate acts of political violence.”
Alongside comedian Rob Schneider, author Frank Turek hosted the Turning Point event that packed the university’s Zellerbach Hall — and he’s telling BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey what really happened.
“Antifa was there, obviously. They were hurling insults and slurs at the people trying to get in. They set off fireworks, which sounded like gunfire, so people were scrambling,” Turek explains.
Radical Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is distancing herself from a growing far-left effort to mount a primary challenge against House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Ocasio-Cortez’s response is signaling a rift inside the party’s progressive wing as activists target one of its most powerful figures.
The dust-up began after leftist New York City Council member Chi Osse, a close ally of socialist NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, filed paperwork for a 2026 primary campaign against Jeffries.
Like Mamdani and Osse, AOC is a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
President Trump had nothing to hide, and he also knows that his team can easily swat away any attacks lobbed by Democrats over the Epstein Files. They’ve done so before. With Congress pushing through a bill releasing all the files yesterday, some on the Hill are already off to the races and have smashed into a wall, too. It’s imploding, not least because Democrats are named.
Earlier this month, The New York Times ran an interview with Wikipedia cofounder Jimmy Wales titled, “The Culture Wars Came for Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales Is Staying the Course.” There, Wales painted Wikipedia as a well-intentioned site trying its best to remain unbiased — and being unfairly targeted by those on the right.
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
No matter how the NYT and Wales try to spin the narrative, reality remains: The culture wars didn’t “come for Wikipedia.” Wikipedia voluntarily threw itself into the fray — and contrary to its claims, it didn’t remain impartial.
It’s telling that even Wales’ co-founder, Larry Sanger, says the website is biased. He’s right: There’s no other way to describe a site that labeled Charlie Kirk, a mainstream conservative, a “far-right conspiracy theorist.”
Washington continues to attract some of the worst people in America, and Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) is no exception. Her pathological tendencies range from alleged abuse of her staff to repeatedly misrepresenting her wealthy background.
How stupid do you have to be to, when you want to smear your opponents for taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein, not check to see if it’s the right Jeffrey Epstein? Apparently, you have to be Jasmine Crockett stupid. On the floor of the House, she thought she had Republicans in a gotcha. Instead, she gotched herself. Hard.
At issue was Democrat Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett and the attempt to censure her over her – alleged(?) – Epstein ties:
Plaskett was caught texting Epstein, whose primary residence was in the U.S. Virgin Islands, during a 2019 hearing when former Trump attorney Michael Cohen was testifying about his work with the president amid an ongoing probe into Trump’s business dealings and matters tied to the 2016 election.
President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday, featuring a military flyover, horse-drawn escort, and cannon salutes, while praising his reforms and friendship. The crown prince announced an increase in Saudi investments in the U.S. to nearly $1 trillion, targeting AI, nuclear energy, and defense sectors including F-35 jet sales.
The president touted the verbal commitment of nearly a trillion dollar investment in the US from the Saudi kingdom.
Historic win for Trump as the kingdom vows massive investment spike in the American economy.
HUGE 👀
Trump just revealed that he is designating Saudi Arabia as a “major non-NATO ally” and that he and MBS just signed a military cooperation agreement.
Trump’s alliance with MBS is the pathway to a new era of peace in the Middle East.

This makes it clear that leftist students are actively trying to do this. They do not want TPUSA to expand its reach.
Student brags about getting Loyola U. New Orleans to reject TPUSA chapter
A Democratic student leader at Loyola University New Orleans bragged over the weekend about the impact of her advocacy when the student government denied an “official university organization” charter for Turning Point USA.
Juleea Berthelot, a student and vice president of National Students for a Democratic Society, made the remark during a panel discussion at a National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression conference, which took place over the weekend in Chicago.
The DOJ has previously sued Oregon and Maine for declining to provide confidential voter data.
Secretaries of State from 10 states sent a joint letter on Tuesday to Attorney General Pamela Bondi and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem seeking clarification about recent federal requests for statewide voter registration data and the manner in which that information is being used.
The officials said they were concerned about misleading and contradictory statements from the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regarding the collection and sharing of voter information.
In the letter, the Secretaries said that in recent months, each of their states received requests from the DOJ for full voter-registration lists. In some instances, the federal government sought unredacted data, including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and the last four digits of Social Security numbers. The Secretaries called the scope of these requests “unprecedented” and said they needed to know how the federal government intended to use, secure, and distribute such information.
“He wants to be part of the Abraham Accords,” Trump said.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) signaled renewed willingness to join the Abraham Accords during a meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday. He emphasized that any normalization with Israel must include a “path to a two-state solution” between Gaza and Israel.
The meeting, MBS’s first White House visit in more than seven years, was marked by an elaborate welcoming ceremony on the South Lawn to spotlight the administration’s partnership with the kingdom and showcase the rapport between the two leaders. They discussed security cooperation, defense sales, nuclear agreements, and hundreds of billions of dollars in Saudi investment in the US economy.
The Democrat Party’s house of cards just took a fresh round of demolition, courtesy of the latest Jeffrey Epstein revelations. Last week, Democrats released a few select and doctored Epstein emails, hoping to destroy Trump. Then the GOP released over 20,000, and suddenly, one Democrat after another found themselves wrapped up in the Epstein fallout.
This list so far includes Larry Summers, Bill Clinton’s treasury secretary and director of Obama’s National Economic Council; Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett; and Kathryn Ruemmler, White House counsel under Obama. Now, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has found himself in the middle.
This week, House Oversight Chairman James Comer dropped a bombshell that Jeffries probably hoped would never see daylight.
A federal judge smacked down a Texas law that ordered every public school classroom to display the Ten Commandments, ruling the mandate unconstitutional and handing a win to the groups that sued to block it.
U.S. District Judge Orlando L. Garcia said Senate Bill 10 trampled the Establishment Clause, which bars the government from endorsing religion. His order forces the districts named in the lawsuit to strip the displays by Dec. 1.
Plaintiff Lenee Bien-Willner, a Jewish parent, said she was “relieved” by the decision. “I am relieved that as a result of today’s ruling, my children, who are among a small number of Jewish children at their schools, will no longer be continually subjected to religious displays,” she said. “The government has no business interfering with parental decisions about matters of faith.”
The ruling covers the Comal, Georgetown, Conroe, Flour Bluff, Fort Worth, Arlington, McKinney, Frisco, Northwest, Azle, Rockwall, Lovejoy, Mansfield and McAllen districts. But the ACLU, the ACLU of Texas, Americans United for Separation of Church and State and the Freedom From Religion Foundation are urging all schools to ignore the state’s order.
House Republicans tried and failed last night to censure Rep. Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands. The move came in the wake of revelations about Plaskett texting with Jeffrey Epstein during a hearing.
Three Republicans voted against the measure, along with House Democrats who voted unanimously against it, and three Republicans voted present.
Great work guys, really great.
FOX News reports:
House Freedom Caucus bid to censure Democrat over Epstein links goes down in flames
A House Freedom Caucus-led bid to strip a member of the House Democratic Caucus of her role on a high-profile committee after her ties to Jeffrey Epstein were revealed earlier this month failed on Tuesday night.
Lawmakers voted against censuring Del. Stacey Plaskett, D-V.I., the Virgin Islands’ nonvoting delegate in the House of Representatives, over newly surfaced text messages between her and Epstein that were exchanged during the February 2019 congressional testimony of Michael Cohen.
