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.”

Rapper Rubi Rose is bemoaning the fact that she is single and in her prime. Do you think there’s a reason why she hasn’t found a man? Over the weekend, Leftists took to the street for the No Kings protests. We’re sure the media covered this fairly. Representative Thomas Massie has been fighting President Donald Trump on key issues ever since Trump took office. Over the weekend, Trump endorsed a candidate challenging Massie for his seat.

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.

A live-fire demonstration accompanying the celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary at Camp Pendleton, California, ended with a lot of questions about an artillery round that apparently detonated over a California Highway Patrol engaged in traffic control.

The whole sequence of events was preceded by ill-will towards the event by California Governor Gavin Newsom, who shunned the USMC birthday event headlined by Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to attend a “No Kings” event.

Senator Rodrigo Paz of the Christian Democrat Party has been elected the next President of Bolivia. In August, he finished first in the general election, winning a run-off election with former President Jorge “Tuto’ Quiroga.

In the run-off election, Paz won 54.5% to 45.5%. The election breaks the socialist control of the country as Bolivia looks to follow Argentina in opening their markets and purging the government of waste. He has promised to take a “gradual approach to free-market reforms in hopes of avoiding a sharp recession or jump in inflation that would enrage the masses.”

Blurb:

It looks like Bolivia is done with socialism. For the first time since 2005, the country has officially elected a candidate who is not a part of Evo Morales’ Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) party. This comes as Bolivia faces a serious economic crisis — something that seems to go hand-in-hand with years of socialism.

As I reported back in August, the country held its general election, which led to a runoff between center-right Senator Rodrigo Paz, who earned 32.18% of the vote, and conservative former President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, who earned 26.81% of the vote.

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.

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.

Your taxpayer dollars and mine were paying for a special makeup artist at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) — that is, until DOGE got involved.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cut contracts with a ceiling value of around $17 billion altogether over the last three weeks. It seems as if the waste and fraud in our federal government is endless, and DOGE has to wade through an absolute mountain of corrupt insanity as it tries to restore fiscal responsibility to the government.

The time for accountability is already here for James Comey and John Bolton.

And now, former CIA Director John Brennan may be the next one to face Judgement Day…

Brennan has just been criminally referred to the Department of Justice.

Here are the details:

BREAKING: Former CIA Director John Brennan has officially been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution for lying to Congress:

“We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023.’ While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

The Trump administration is looking to slash an office at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) whose critics say has been a major driver of gender ideology and abortion policies in the federal government.

The Office of Population Affairs (OPA) saw roughly 30 employees issued reduction-in-force (RIF) notices Oct. 10, effectively sidelining most of the agency’s staff, individuals familiar with the matter told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The cuts come as White House officials repeatedly warned that staffing reductions could occur if Democrats continue to refuse to reopen the government.

President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is using several tools to pressure illegal aliens to self-deport from the United States, including via their pocketbooks.

DHS officials revealed exclusively to Breitbart News that the agency has issued more than 31,600 fine notices to illegal aliens, totaling more than $9.6 billion.

“Our message is clear: If you’re in the country illegally, leave now or face the consequences,” DHS’s Tricia McLaughlin told Breitbart News.

Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana is leading the charge alongside Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas to protect Nigerian Christians who are being persecuted and slain by jihadist groups.

Stutzman introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act on Tuesday in the House, an identical companion bill to Cruz’s legislation, Blaze News learned. 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.

‘We must use the targeted tools we have at our disposal.’

Vice-President JD Vance arrived in Israel as the ceasefire in Gaza entered its eleventh day. He is expected to shore up President Donald Trump’s peace agreement amid sabotage attempts by Hamas.

“Vance was meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials and is expected to stay in the region until Thursday,” the Associated Press reported. “White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, arrived Monday and Vance met with them upon landing.”

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way Monday for President Donald Trump to mobilize the National Guard to protect federal buildings in Portland.

A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 to reverse a federal district court ruling that prevented Trump from deploying National Guard troops in the state. The ruling allows the deployment to continue while the case moves forward in the courts.

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.

The president of the Austrian Parliament has banned the use of so-called “gender-inclusive” language in official communications of the legislative body.

Walter Rosenkranz, president of the Nationalrat (National Council, Austria’s Lower House of Parliament), recently announced that Parliament will go back to using the generic masculine form of words, or the female and male form as a couple, for instance, when addressing readers as “Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren” (Dear ladies and gentlemen).

Previously, the parliament had used the ideological variant of putting internal capital letters, colons, asterisks, or slashes within nouns that could refer to people of different genders. Signs like the asterisk were meant to include not only females but also people who identify as “transgender.”

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.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said Tuesday he would back Republicans if they invoked the “nuclear option” to eliminate the Senate filibuster and push through legislation reopening the government.

“There are no winners here. It’s not getting better every day here. People are going to start to get really hungry, and I’ve been fully, fully committed to fund [the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program], open up the government,” he said, noting the program is running out of money.

“This is just bad political theater. Open it up,” Fetterman added, speaking to reporters.

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.

A small North Carolina town saw two churches set on fire Friday night.

The fires took place near Casar, a town of about 300 people located northwest of Charlotte.

According to a Facebook post from the Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office, the fires were set between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Tabernacle Baptist Church and Calvary’s Cross Baptist Church were both targeted, the post said.

“Fortunately, both fires were spotted by citizens who quickly put the fire out before significant damage occurred. These events are still under investigation,” the post said.

… 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.)

The fight against euthanasia reached a new level yesterday, as Fox News published an article that blows the lid off the sinister nature of the industry.

Reporter Asra Nomani has just published an investigative report detailing the predatory-like behavior of what she calls “Assisted Suicide Inc.”

“A Fox Digital investigation reveals … opponents of euthanasia face a multimillion-dollar global lobby that could be called Assisted Suicide Inc., a sprawling network changing laws worldwide, developing euthanasia services for funeral parlors, selling ‘suicide pods,’ promoting ‘suicide tourism’ and even training ‘doulas for death,’” she writes.

Reflecting on her recent sentencing of over a year’s house arrest for her role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, Tamara Lich laid bare the fact that when all is said in done seven years of her life will have been spent in a government-imposed “lockdown” in one form or another.

Last Friday on X, Lich wrote, “I did the math this morning.”

“Between the ‘pandemic,’ our bail conditions, and now our sentence, @ChrisBarber1975 and I will have been in lockdown, in one form or another, for a total of seven years by the time we complete our sentences,” she noted.

Last week as well, Lich launched what she called her “house arrest” podcast, with her fellow co-leader of the Freedom Convoy Chris Barber. The pair spent over an hour talking about their recent sentence, as well as the state of affairs in Canada.

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
  • Samarium: used in high-temperature permanent magnets and lasers

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.

Blurb:

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.”

A federal judge has ruled that a Florida school board did not violate the First Amendment when it removed a children’s book featuring two male penguins raising a chick in a victory for officials who argue they have the authority to keep LGBTQ-themed material out of school libraries.

Chief U.S. District Judge Allen Winsor ruled on September 30 that the Escambia County School Board acted within its rights when it removed the book And Tango Makes Three from its library shelves. The 2005 book tells the true story of two male penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo who hatch and raise a chick together and has long been at the center of debates over LGBTQ representation in schools.

We all knew heads were going to roll when Bari Weiss took the editor-in-chief job at CBS News, following the purchase of her Free Press venture. It’s why liberals were so mad about this move made at the network. Its staffers were going to be forced to report on what actually happens. The rot of old had to be cleaned out, so Weiss took her first “scalp” in what will likely be a long list of cuts to get things right at CBS News (via NY Post):

The head of CBS News’ standards and practices unit — who presided over some of the network’s recent controversial, woke reporting — is out as new boss Bari Weiss looks to bring more balance to the left-leaning network.

Claudia Milne, who ran the division responsible for the moral, ethical and legal implications of CBS programming, is the first senior executive to leave the network since Weiss arrived as editor in chief earlier this month.

Although Milne’s job had been “slowly phased out,” a CBS source called her departure “significant.”

“She was part of the woke mob at CBS News. It shows an editorial shift in how CBS will operate,” the person said, speculating that “this is Bari’s first scalp.”

ICE agents arrested a Chicago area police officer Thursday, accusing him of living illegally in the United States for over a decade.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Hanover Park Police Officer Radule Bojovic overstayed a B-2 tourist visa that required him to depart the U.S. on March 31, 2015. “Over a decade later, he was still illegally in the U.S.,” DHS stated in a press release.

Federal prosecutors are now signaling they may remove James Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as his lead counsel because of his involvement in the former FBI Director’s leaks of classified information to the media through Daniel Richman.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey last month. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

If convicted, James Comey is facing up to five years in prison.

Comey’s case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.
