U.S. states are warning food aid recipients their benefits may not be distributed beginning Saturday if the federal government shutdown stretches into its fourth week.

Warnings issued on at least two dozen state websites flag the potential for an unprecedented benefit gap in November for Americans who get aid from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as food stamps, and the nearly seven million who receive aid from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

The shutdown, which began Oct. 1, is now the second-longest on record.

How did a 34-year-old nobody climb to the edge of running America’s biggest city? These things don’t just happen, they are made to happen.

Zohran Mamdani is funded by a $2.9 million dollar network of George Soros and Islamic activists donors.

George Soros’ foundation funneled $37 million to left-wing groups that backed Zohran Mamdani’s run for New York City mayor. The Working Families Party and nine other progressive organizations that supported Mamdani all received substantial support from Soros-aligned nonprofits. While Mamdani campaigns against wealth and billionaires, critics say he is benefiting from the very system he denounces.

New Yorkers are preparing to flee for Palm Beach, Florida, as Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani seems poised to win and raise taxes on the rich, Fox News reported on Monday.

Mamdani, a Democratic socialist running on a platform of taxing wealthy New Yorkers, garnered the support of 43.8% of likely voters polled — about ten points ahead of independent candidate and former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, according to a Suffolk University poll released on Monday. Miami-based Fox News reporter Danamarie McNicholl said on “America Reports” that Palm Beach realtors assert “there’s a new sense of urgency for wealthy New York buyers.”

Trump Announces Canada Tariff Increase over Reagan Ad ‘Fraud’– gellerreport.com

Blurb:

In a stunning act of political miscalculation, Canada aired a deceptive tariff ad featuring President Reagan to taunt Donald Trump — prompting Trump to retaliate by raising tariffs on Canadian goods. To call it “stupid” is far too generous; it was a reckless act of self-sabotage.

The person responsible for this misleading ad is Doug Ford; the premier of the province of Ontario. Ford thought that this attack ad would scare President Trump into retreating from his tariff policy. Ford was dead wrong. In response to this attack ad, President Trump has suspended trade negotiations with Canada, and has also increased tariff’s on Canada by an additional 10 percent. Doug Ford is a clown.

Texas Moves to Ban In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens– slaynews.com

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has adopted new rules to ban illegal alien students from receiving in-state tuition rates.

The move was taken to comply with a court ruling compelling the board to do so.

The Trump administration sued Texas to get the change, saying that parts of its education law conflicted with federal law pertaining to illegal immigrants.

“In direct and express conflict with federal law, Texas education law specifically allows an alien who is not lawfully present in the United States to qualify for in-state tuition based on residence within the state, while explicitly denying resident-based tuition rates to U.S. citizens that do not qualify as Texas residents,” the administration argued.

Socialist Students at Utah Valley U. Protest Proposal for Charlie Kirk Statue– legalinsurrection.com

Utah Valley University socialist students protested a proposal to erect a statue of Charlie Kirk on campus, saying that they don’t want outsiders on campus and do not want to honor the slain Turning Point USA founder.

“We’re out here because we want to protest any sort of Charlie Kirk memorial,” Collin Grannis told Scripps News Service last week. “We don’t want his likeness on campus; we don’t want his likeness sort of immortalized.” Tyler Robinson is accused of assassinating Kirk on Sept. 10 at the public university in Orem, Utah during one of Kirk’s speaking events.

Grannis (pictured) is with UVU Students for a Democratic Society. The group held signs at their rally that said things like “No Kirk on Campus” and “Memorial For Unity Not Hate,” according to a blog post he created on Fight Back! News. The protest was reportedly just 200 feet from where Kirk was killed.

Apropos of nothing, that was a 2023 clip of The Zohran, as an elected member of the New York Assembly, saying, “We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the IDF.”

Not that anything matters at this point because The Zohran is going to be next mayor of New York City. Andrew Cuomo is Andrew Cuomo, and the New York GOP never bothered trying (shocker). But I just wanted to point out how the incoming mayor of NYC hates both the NYPD and the Jews. Even though whenever you accuse The Zohran of that or anything else, he cries crocodile tears that you’re Islamophobiaing against him.

Those crocodiles here are why I’ve asked you here today. Because The Zohran cried them while invoking 9/11, while claiming his aunt was the real victim.

Sorry, wrong X-post.

The Trump Tariffs Are Helping the GOP – RedState– redstate.com

pgnewser October 28, 2025 0

Blurb:

Recently, in an unprecedented move, Ontario’s provincial government intruded in American politics by trying to divide the Republican Party regarding tariff policy.  They did this knowing that there are two strands of GOP thought on tariffs: a pro-free trade belief, and a pro-tariff belief, which the Canadians hope to exploit in their ongoing trade battles with the U.S.

Which brings me neatly back to the issue of higher tariffs.  Once again, I am analyzing this as a political issue, and not as an economic one.

The historical GOP was a big fan of tariffs.  Abraham Lincoln brought them over from the “American System” of the Whig party, of which he was a prominent proponent.  In 1896, the GOP doubled down on them under William McKinley, whom President Trump has praised.

Zohran Mamdani Holds Sizable Lead With Foreign-Born New Yorkers, Poll Finds– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Pro-communist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds a commanding lead among foreign-born city residents. Former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who is running an independent campaign, and perennial Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa did better with Big Apple residents who were born in the United States, a new poll found.

A survey from Patriot Polling found that Mamdani is running away with the foreign-born vote, as 62 percent of respondents expressed support for his campaign. Cuomo trailed in distant second with 24 percent, while Sliwa was the preferred candidate among just 12 percent of foreign-born respondents.

The poll found Cuomo leading comfortably among American-born New Yorkers with 40 percent. Mamdani was the second choice among 32 percent of respondents, while Sliwa again came in third with 25 percent.

In terms of the overall race, Patriot Polling’s survey was much in line with polling trends, as Mamdani led with 43 percent of the overall vote. Cuomo trailed the Democratic Socialist by nine, while Sliwa sits in a distant third with 19 percent of the vote.

Israeli lawmakers voted on Wednesday to advance two bills on annexing the occupied West Bank, barely a week after President Donald Trump pushed through a deal aimed at ending a two-year Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that was retaliation for a Hamas attack.

“I think the president’s made clear that’s not something we can be supportive of right now,” Rubio said of annexation as he boarded his plane for a visit to Israel. Annexation moves are “threatening for the peace deal,” he told reporters.

“These are tremendous sanctions. These are very big against their two big oil companies,” Trump said in a social media post by the White House. “And we hope that they won’t be on for long. We hope that the war will be settled.”

“They’re massive sanctions,” Trump said during an Oval Office sit-down with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. “They do a lot of oil. And hopefully it will push, hopefully he’ll [Putin] become reasonable, and hopefully Zelensky will be reasonable too.”

When President Donald Trump issued an executive order declaring a “national energy emergency,”’ he directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to prioritize refilling the SPR to its full capacity, which is approximately 714 million barrels.

At the time, the reserve held around 394 million barrels-about 55% of capacity-after historic drawdowns during the Biden administration. As a reminder, in April 2024, the Biden administration refused to purchase oil to refill its reserves.

“Shutdowns are terrible and of course there will be, you know, families that will suffer,” acknowledged Rep. Katherine Clark (D-Mass.), the House Minority Whip, during an interview, Wednesday.  “We take that responsibility very seriously but it is one of the few leverage times we have.”

President Trump’s “rapid response” team responded on X: “These people are SICK!”

Senator Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) has also made clear that causing pain and suffering is a large part of the Democrats’ shutdown strategy.

“They [Republicans] have had months to negotiate,” Sanders said in a recent interview. “You reopen the government and we lose our leverage,” he added. “There has to be an agreement right now—That’s what this whole shutdown is about.”

There it was right there in the middle of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that told elected officials they weren’t the boss over President Donald Trump federalizing the Oregon National Guard.

There was a list explaining the protest activity outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) HQ by Antifa, and the Portland Police Bureau’s enabling of the lawbreaking and antisocial behavior, including this item:

September 6, there were 50 to 60 “very active protest[e]rs/black blockers/agitators” at the gate. There was lots of noise, flashing lights, and swinging sticks. [Federal Protective Service] was pushing out to allow vehicles to enter, and the PPB observed approximately 50 people in the driveway. FPS had 26 officers on duty.

And here’s another example, carried out right under the noses of the Portland Police Bureau, which the court felt compelled to mention in the federal case.
