The “No Kings” rallies are taking place again. On Saturday, October 18, more than 2,000 events will be held in every state of the union. Their purpose? To protest President Donald Trump and to allegedly reclaim America as a democracy instead of a monarchy.

The liberal groups sponsoring the rallies are all the usual suspects — the ACLU, MoveOn.org, Human Rights Campaign, and more.

This weekend’s events, one of which will feature Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, were first held back in June on Trump’s 79th birthday.

Pierre Poilievre, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, was visibly moved to tears while speaking about how the assassination of Charlie Kirk affected him personally.

Speaking as a guest on a recent episode of Northern Perspective (starts at 17-minute mark), Poilievre was asked by the hosts to give his honest thoughts about Kirk’s death. He gave an honest and candid assessment of the state of politics in the United States and Canada today.

“Our thoughts are with the incredible family of Charlie Kirk, and our condolences to them. He was winning a lot of debates, and I think the authoritarian left was frustrated that they couldn’t win the argument, and ultimately, they ended the argument, and that’s often what they do,” he said.

Former national security adviser John Bolton’s indictment shows he is charged with 18 criminal counts, including eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 counts of retaining national defense information.

The indictment also claims that after Bolton was hacked by a “cyber actor” linked to Iran, he failed to reveal what kinds of classified information he had been sending through the hacked account.

The indictment alleges that “from on or about April 9, 2018, through at least on or about August 22, 2025, BOLTON abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor-including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level-with two unauthorized individuals, namely Individuals 1 and 2.”

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is suggesting Democrats may attempt to prosecute Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for enforcing federal immigration law.

During an interview with FOX 32 Chicago this week, Pritzker proposed prosecuting DHS officials and ICE agents for arresting illegal aliens in the sanctuary state of Illinois.

“The tables will turn one day,” Prtizker told reporter Paris Schutz: These people should recognize that maybe they’re not gonna get prosecuted today, although we’re looking at doing that, but they may get prosecuted after the Trump administration because the statute of limitations would not have run out. [Emphasis added] Pritzker said he was in talks with Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul (D) and other attorneys regarding a potential criminal investigation into DHS officials and ICE agents.

“We’re talking to the state’s attorneys and Attorney General to see how they can go at this because what we want to make sure is that they follow the law,” Pritzker said.

“DHS extended fencing at the Broadview Processing Center after rioters and sanctuary politicians obstructed law enforcement, threw tear gas cans, rocks, bottles, and fireworks…”

In the wake of a judge ordering a fence outside a Chicago-area ICE facility be removed, crews were seen on Tuesday night working to take it down. The Broadview ICE facility had until 11:59 pm on Tuesday night to comply with the court and remove it.

Workers were seen dismantling the fence outside the facility on Tuesday night, and per Fox 32, concrete barriers were put up in their place near the facility.

Cook County Circuit Chief Judge Timothy Evans has issued an administrative decree that effectively bars ICE and Border Patrol agents from making civil immigration arrests at or near county courthouses, even as aliens appear for hearings.

The edict, signed late Tuesday night and going into effect Wednesday, proclaims that “no person attending or returning from a court proceeding shall be subject to a civil arrest” unless there is a judicial warrant or order.

The order explicitly limits it to civil immigration arrests. The order also includes the walkways, entryways, driveways, and parking lots contiguous to courthouses. “The fair administration of justice requires that courts remain open and accessible, and that litigants and witnesses may appear without fear of civil arrest,” the order states.

Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears swiftly condemned those tied to a Young Republicans group chat scandal—and now she’s calling on her opponent, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, to do the same with regard to her own running mate, attorney general nominee Jay Jones.

In a press release issued Wednesday, the Democratic Party of Virginia said Earle-Sears “must call on participants of a leaked Young Republicans chat that used racist language to step down from their roles joining Virginia Young Republican Thomas Turner”—something the lieutenant governor had no problem doing.

“Easy,” she replied, “they absolutely must step down.”

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Leftists are calling for veterans of “the George Floyd revolt” to join upcoming “No Kings” rallies against President Donald Trump on Saturday.

CrimethInc, an international anarchist group, encouraged supporters on Thursday to engage in “anti-authoritarian” uprisings similar to the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots when the nationwide anti-Trump rallies take place. The post recommended “direct action planning,” a phrase CrimethInc defines as mobilizing people to cause a public disruption even if it risks arrest.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been harboring a fugitive from justice in the Norfolk, Virginia house at the center of her federal indictment, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

Letitia James’s niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, has two daughters who live in separate properties owned by James in Norfolk. Both have significant criminal histories.

Just this morning, I wrote that the reason Democrats can’t moderate their unpopular political positions on things such as transgenderism and immigration is that they’ve backed themselves into logical corners that do not allow any moderation or compromise. This is why they can’t move on the budget. To them, $3.9 million in “LGBTQ+ democracy grants” for the Balkans is as important as welfare checks at home.

And today, as if by magic, one of my leftist Facebook friends re-posted one of the most insane and extreme pro-abortion things I’ve ever seen. (Many have wondered why I continue to have leftist friends on Facebook. The reason is that I’m a writer and they provide me with endless inspiration.)

President Trump on Tuesday announced another successful strike in international waters against a Venezuelan drug vessel, “affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO),” he said.

This comes as the US has launched a series of attacks on narcoterrorists trafficking narcotics to the United States. Earlier this month, Trump announced the destruction of a vessel, which was carrying a “substantial amounts of narcotics,” War Secretary Pete Hegseth said. According to President Trump, that boat was carrying “enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE.”

JB Pritzker is at it again, attempting to rile up his base by threatening the Trump Administration.

The Illinois Governor is now threatening to throw ICE and other federal agents in PRISON.

Tell me you want to run for President as a Democrat without telling me you want to run for President as a Democrat.

Pritzker made the comments during an interview this week in which he trashed ICE, CBP, and the Trump Administration in general.

Key Takeaways

  • 22 U.S. states provide in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students, with 18 of these states also offering additional financial aid, despite federal restrictions established by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
  • The Trump administration has challenged these state policies via lawsuits, citing the need to enforce existing laws prohibiting residency-related benefits for illegal immigrants.
  • Critics of the legal challenges claim that denying in-state tuition undermines state economies and education systems, as it restricts access to affordable education for a significant number of students.

In a fiery press conference Tuesday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) of intentionally extending the ongoing partial government shutdown in order to wait for a fresh round of “No Kings Day” protests on October 18, which Scalise referred to as a “hate America rally.”

Schumer has repeatedly accused Republicans of causing the ongoing shutdown, despite the fact that just three Democrats have voted in favor of a House-passed “clean” temporary measure that will fund the government through late November. The measure requires 60 votes to pass in the Senate, meaning that at least seven Democrats must vote in favor.

How over the edge is the left in Los Angeles County? A lot. They proved it, big time, with the move they made on Tuesday.

Los Angeles County officials voted Tuesday to declare a state of emergency that gives them power to provide assistance for residents they say have suffered financially from ongoing federal immigration raids.

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants. [….]

The local state of emergency can also funnel state money for legal aid and other services.

Democrats are keeping the government closed for the sake of “No Kings” mass protests scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18.

We already have a no kings day – it’s called July 4th.

Ironic, is it not, that the far left radicals who refuse to accept the results of the Presidential election are whining about “kings.”

Key Takeaways

  • Governor Gavin Newsom suggests California universities explore giving preferential treatment to descendants of slaves but vetoed a bill that would mandate such preferences, calling it ‘unnecessary’ as universities already have the authority to do so.
  • Democratic Assemblyman Isaac Bryan introduced the legislation to address California’s role in slavery and promote reparations, but legal experts warned it could violate federal affirmative action laws.
  • Newsom vetoed several bills related to preferences for descendants of slaves, citing potential legal risks and increased costs to the state while emphasizing the need for careful consideration of admissions policies.

On Sept. 30, hours before the federal government shut down, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had a baffling act to fit in. The FDA stealthily approved a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone.

Mifepristone, a drug the FDA itself admits sends as many as 1 in 25 women to the emergency room even under strict use conditions, is not only responsible for the deaths of countless unborn children, but also has taken the lives of too many mothers along with it.

Ironically, the approval came barely a week after the administration warned pregnant women to reconsider taking Tylenol to avoid harm to their unborn children.

The Trump administration has just revoked six visas from people who were apparently expressing pleasure over the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

People can’t say that they weren’t warned about this. Since March, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made it extremely clear that the U.S. is no longer going to tolerate disruptions or anti-American shenanigans from visa holders.

FOX News reports:

State Department revokes six visas over offensive Charlie Kirk assassination comments

The State Department on Tuesday said the United States isn’t obligated to take in foreigners who wish harm on Americans, before posting a list of six individuals whose visas were revoked for making vile comments about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The agency noted that the Trump administration will take action against those celebrating Kirk’s death.

“The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the agency wrote on X. “@POTUS and @SecRubio will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America’s hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed.”

Mexican drug cartels have seen their profits decimated as the Trump administration ramps up its drone strikes on traffickers and pressures the country’s government to root out corruption and supply chains. Now, the drug lords are striking back, offering contract killers five-figure paydays to kill federal agents.

An epicenter of the conflict is Chicago which, although far from the southern border, has become a battleground between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the cartels supplying the windy city with drugs and illegal immigrants.

The Gateway Pundit reported that far-left New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) was blocked from walking with her graduating class at the US Naval Academy (USNA) after being caught up in a cheating scandal.

According to records obtained by The New Jersey Globe, Sherrill’s name “was not included on the commencement program” during the May 25, 1994, ceremony.

Despite the USNA’s honor code, the congresswoman said she was barred because she would not “rat out” classmates involved in the scandal.

Democrats are struggling right now with addiction. Addiction to perpetual inanity (and insanity), sure. Addiction to standing up for criminals at the expense of the American people, without a doubt.

But they’re also addicted to engaging in sad, little stunts that at best are embarrassing and at worst are, by their own definition, insurrection-y.

See their pathetic “Choose Your Fighter” video as an example. Or Hank Johnson’s bizarre anti-Trump guitar solo. Or any of Eric Swalwell’s TikTok videos or the embarrassing ones. And, have we mentioned the “TACO” protests yet?

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith spoke out for the first time about his politically motivated investigations into President Trump during a sit-down conversation with dirty prosecutor Andrew Weissmann at the University of London.

Anyway, I digress.

Some Palestinians fear Hamas will not honor President Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan as footage emerged of the terrorists executing civilians in Gaza’s streets, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

Hamas began rounding up alleged Israeli collaborators and killing them as soon as the country’s military withdrew from Gaza after a ceasefire was announced Oct. 8, an anonymous Gazan activist told NYP. The broader 20-point peace agreement requires Hamas to permanently disarm, but video evidence of its brutality toward Palestinians shows it continues to terrorize Gaza.

Sen. Josh Hawley, introduced legislation to close loopholes in Obamacare that allow tax dollars to fund abortions. It’s a move pro-life advocates hailed as a critical step to protect unborn children amid a contentious government shutdown Democrats have forced on Washington.

The bill, dubbed the “No More Loopholes Act,” would expressly prohibit any Obamacare health plan from covering abortions, with very narrow exceptions for cases of rape, incest or when the mother’s life is threatened.

The measure is targeting state-level workarounds and separate billing schemes that skirt the Hyde Amendment’s restrictions on federal funding for elective abortions.
