Acclaimed artist and sculptor Jackie Ferrara has been euthanized despite reportedly being in “good health.”

Ferrara is the latest celebrity to be killed by “assisted suicide,” continuing the disturbing trend of liberal media outlets glamorizing what should be treated as a tragedy, not a fashionable lifestyle choice.

Ferrara was killed via lethal injection on October 22 at age 95.

By all accounts, Ferrara was in “good health.”

She simply decided that she was “ready to go,” and didn’t want to “depend on anybody.”

“I don’t want a housekeeper,” she told The New York Times shortly before her death.

“I never wanted anybody.

“I was married three times.

“That’s enough,” she added.

A charity supporting victims of Muslim child rape grooming gangs has revealed that family members of predators have attempted to infiltrate their ranks to threaten women and girls seeking help.

While much of the focus of the grooming gang scandal has focused on the failures of local authorities and the gangs of mostly Pakistani Muslim men, which were given free rein to sexually exploit often young working-class white girls, a victims’ charity has claimed that there is a broader familial, tribal support network operating in the shadows behind the criminal operations.

Managing director of the Next Stage Youth Development charity, Paul O’Rourke told The Times of London that it is “really common” for family members of grooming gangs to worm their way into the charity to “threaten and intimidate” victims.

“Once the gang in Rochdale found out where those young people were, they tried to infiltrate — to get access to them, to interfere with them as witnesses, to threaten them,” he said. “They also tried to recruit them back into the grooming gang because they were still very vulnerable.”

New Arctic Frost whistleblower documents confirm a seditious conspiracy of unimaginable proportions. The newly uncovered Arctic Frost whistleblower files have blown Washington wide open. They suggest a breathtaking expansion of federal power—an operation so sweeping it blurred every line between oversight and intrusion. What began as an investigation now looks, to many, like surveillance without boundaries. These revelations demand answers: who authorized it, who benefited, and why Congress was kept in the dark. At stake is not just transparency, but the integrity of the institutions Americans are told to trust.

Trump is demanding prison for Jack Smith.

Trump is demanding prison for Jack Smith. New Arctic Frost whistleblower documents show that the corrupt Biden FBI subpoenaed the bank records, donor lists, and emails of nearly every major conservative organization and leader in the country, including Donald Trump’s campaign, the RNC, Conservative Partnership Institute, Save America PAC, America First Policy Institute, and even MyPillow.

A new advertisement from Denmark’s state broadcaster is drawing attention for its messaging about genetics and diversity, reigniting discussion about political themes in Western advertising.

The commercial, which promotes a science program titled “Evolution,” features an on-screen “expert” interrupting a white Danish couple as they flirt.

The expert explains that Denmark’s history of war introduced foreign DNA into the national gene pool, which he says “protected them from disease.”

He then compares their relationship to inbreeding because they are both white and suggests they seek partners with more “exotic” genetics.

The woman then smiles as if intrigued by the idea.

The series first aired in 2020 but is now being re-released with the same “inbreeding” advertisements in 2025.

Over the weekend, unidentified drones were detected hovering above Belgium’s Kleine Brogel air base, which his the location of a U.S. nuclear weapons storage facility, prompting investigations into a possible espionage operation.

Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken said Sunday that a jammer was unsuccessfully used during the overnight drone sightings over Belgium’s Kleine Brogel airbase, which is used by NATO forces.

“Last night, we received 3 reports of drones above Kleine Brogel, of a larger type and flying at higher altitude,” Francken wrote on X. “It was not a simple overflight, but a clear command targeting Kleine Brogel. A drone jammer was used, but without success.

“A helicopter and police vehicles pursued the drone, but lost it after several kilometers,” he added.

…Francken said on Saturday that he would meet police next week to assess the threat and take the necessary steps to find and arrest the drone pilots.

A spokesperson for Francken’s office told Reuters news agency police were investigating the incident. Government ministers will discuss the sightings this week.

Shares of Europe’s biggest carmakers rose Monday as fears over an industry shortage of semiconductors appeared to recede.

China on Saturday said it would consider some exemptions for Nexperia chip exports. It had previously blocked Nexperia semiconductors from leaving the country after the Dutch government seized control of Nexperia, owned by the Chinese company Wingtech.

The standoff between the Netherlands and China had prompted automotive groups to raise the alarm over a worsening chip shortage.

The Minnesota Supreme Court unanimously ruled that USA Powerlifting discriminated against a male athlete by barring him from competing in a women’s competition, marking a major decision in the ongoing debate over transgender participation in women’s sports.The court’s decision last Wednesday found that the organization’s policy of explicitly excluding men identifying as women from women’s events violated Minnesota’s Human Rights Act. All seven justices agreed with the ruling. Five were appointed by current Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and two by former Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton.

“I foresee violent pushback from an armed citizenry in the future. The 2nd amendment folx were very clear that weapons are meant to oppose a tyrannical government…”

A Democrat trans activist has won the mayoral race in Downingtown, PA, a small town of about 9,000 people in Chester County, west of Philadelphia. Deuso defeated Republican Richard Bryant.

Erica Deuso, who is openly transgender, had recently suggested armed violence against the federal government after footage came out of illegal immigrants being detained.

“Tonight, the numbers are clear,” Deuso stated early Wednesday morning, according to WHYY. “We won. Voters chose hope, decency, and a community where every neighbor matters. I am honored to be elected as Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor. I carry that responsibility with care and with purpose.”

One of the more noxious aspects of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign to be mayor of New York City is the reappearance of Linda Sarsour, the far-left, oxymoronically hijab-wearing “feminist” activist who rocketed to international fame some years ago as the hate-filled face of the leftist/Islamic alliance, glossing over the human rights abuses of Sharia and demonizing Israel with extravagant false claims long before doing so became the left’s favorite pastime. As it turns out, Sarsour has not been enjoying a comfortable, Soros-financed retirement; she has been working on what she calls “the quiet side” of the Mamdani campaign.

Quiet side or not, however, Sarsour has been loquacious of late, and what she has been saying should give every New Yorker pause, although it probably won’t. In an Instagram livestream that she posted on Saturday but later took down, Sarsour declared that she was determined to keep the pressure up on Mayor Mamdani to dismantle the Strategic Response Group, the NYPD’s counterterror unit, which is also responsible for policing protests. “If Zohran’s gonna be the mayor of New York City,” Sarsour vowed, “he’s going to shut down the Strategic Response Group, the SRG, which is what Zohran has committed to.”

Two bills recently proposed to honor slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk on Oklahoma college campuses have prompted debate, with some professors arguing the proposals go too far and run afoul of the very principles Kirk espoused.

One week after Kirk’s assassination, Oklahoma state Sen. Shane Jett, who leads the Oklahoma Freedom Caucus, introduced the bills to honor the memory and legacy of the Turning Point USA founder.

The proposals seek to require Oklahoma’s public institutions of higher education to honor Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, as Charlie Kirk Free Speech Day, and “designate and develop a prominent area on its main campus as the ‘Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza.’”

If any student, employee or faculty member vandalizes the plaza, they would be terminated from enrollment or employment and fined for the cost of the damage, the OU Daily student newspaper reported.

California overwhelmingly approved Prop 50 on Tuesday, which will potentially add five Democrat seats to the U.S. House in opposition to Republicans in Texas.

The Associated Press called the election in favor of Prop 50 shortly after the polls closed on Tuesday night.

“California voters approved new congressional district boundaries Tuesday, delivering a victory for Democrats in the state-by-state redistricting battle that will help determine which party wins control of the U.S. House in 2026,” the AP noted.

Republicans hold 219 seats in the U.S. House, while Democrats hold 213; those five seats in the 2026 midterm could make a huge difference in the balance of power. California Gov. Gavin Newsom strongly backed Prop 50, pledging it would be a bulwark against President Trump.

Conservative politicians and Canadians are in an uproar after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that a mandatory one-year sentence for possessing or accessing child pornography is “unconstitutional.”

The Supreme Court released its ruling on October 31 in a 5-4 decision. The court dismissed the Crown’s appeal of the ruling n 2025 SCC 33 (File No. 40882). The ruling upholds a Quebec Court of Appeal decision, meaning that in such cases moving forward it will be up to the judge to hand over a ruling.

The case was based on a recent argument made by two men from Quebec, who had pleaded guilty to child pornography offenses. The two had argued that a one-year jail sentence was a violation of their Charter right of not being a party to “cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.”

It was the Crown that had asked the Supreme Court to rule that having child pornography is a grave offense worthy of strict sentences, noting the harm it causes the victims and families.

The world has been shocked and horrified by stories of how Hamas tortured and murdered Israeli hostages. But Hamas also viciously maltreats and even kills its own people who dare to stand up to it, including Moumen al-Natour, a Palestinian anti-Hamas activist.

The UK Daily Mail says that al-Natour has endured endless harassment and persecution from Hamas, from “being lashed with a whip, stripped of his clothes, or made to squat for 24 gruelling hours in a tiny underground cell, the 30-year-old lawyer has paid the price time and time again for his resistance to the authoritarian government.”

Describing one round of abuse at Hamas’s hands, al-Natour told the UK outlet, “They insulted me with obscene language and threatened to bring my father, mother, brothers and sisters to the prison to torture them. Once, someone even told me they could rape my mother and sisters in front of me.”

SNAP food benefits for around 42 million Americans could resume as early as Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Sunday morning, after two federal judges ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds during the government shutdown. The action follows rulings on Friday by federal judges in Massachusetts and Rhode Island directing the administration to draw on emergency resources to continue Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programme payments. Judge Jack McConnell of Rhode Island also instructed that the funds be provided “as soon as possible,” CNBC reported. Boston Judge Indira Talwani gave the administration until Monday to inform her whether it will authorise at least reduced SNAP benefits for November. The aid was originally set to be cut off on November 1.

Chester County Pennsylvania election officials decided to extend voting hours Tuesday, keeping polls open until 10 p.m. after a disastrous start to the general election.

Poll books where voters sign to show they are a registered voter in the county only listed Republicans and Democrats. The names of some 75,000 independent and unaffiliated voters were not in the book, meaning they could not be verified as a registered voter and had to cast provisional ballots.

When a voter goes to a new polling place for the first time, Pennsylvania requires them to show identification and sign the poll book. After that, their signature from the previous year is in the book and each year they sign near their old signature.

Independent and unaffiliated voters are not allowed to vote in the spring primary election; that is for registered Republicans and Democrats only. One could guess the county was working with a primary poll book in the general election, but that is not clear. Chester election officials promised to return a call to The Federalist Tuesday but never did.

A new Pentagon policy will severely restrict the ability of so-called transgender members of the Armed Forces to avoid discharge by convincing a separation board to retain them on active duty. Under previous policy, transgenders identified for discharge could appeal to a separation board to overturn the administrative process. The new policy permits commanders to set aside the separation board recommendation and require discharge.

One of President Trump’s earliest acts was to issue an executive order titled Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness. This order revoked a Joe Biden, or perhaps an autopenned, executive order which had encouraged transgenders to join the military and protected those currently on duty; see Executive Order 14004—Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform. That, in turn, had revoked an memorandum issued by President Trump during his first term that barred transgenders from service; see Presidential Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security Regarding Military Service by Transgender Individuals.

[Let me digress here for a moment to examine how the administrative process works under Republican versus Democrat administrations. Biden was able to revoke a Trump memo without issue. On the other hand, the memo written by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano that created the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals, or DACA/Dreamer, program has proved impervious to all attacks. Go figure.]

The current estimate is that about 4,200 transgenders haunt the ranks and about 1,000 of those have requested voluntary separation.

I reported on the preview clips from the 60 Minutes interview that President Donald Trump did with Norah O’Donnell that aired Sunday night. The first two clips were not promising as to whether CBS made a change in how they will be approaching things. One was “What are you doing as president to end the shutdown?” It isn’t up to Trump; it’s up to the Democrats who are behind the government closure. O’Donnell also asked what Trump would do if China attacked Taiwan. Now, that seemed a pretty ridiculous question, because he’s not going to tell her how he would respond, and give away our plans. He made it obvious that it was not something that China would like, which is the only way to answer that question.

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gil has filed articles of impeachment against US District Judge James Boasberg amid revelations that the Obama-appointed activist approved secret subpoenas to seize private phone records of Senators in the sham “Arctic Frost” investigation.

It was revealed last week that the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies to dig up dirt on Republicans and activists who participated in efforts to overturn the rigged 2020 election.

As previously reported, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley said last week that “197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions.”

The subpoenas requested records and communications related to over 430 individuals and organizations – all aimed at Republicans.

President Trump on Tuesday called California’s Proposition 50 a “giant scam” and revealed that the Golden State’s mail-in ballots are under “serious legal and criminal review.”

Governor Gavin Newsom and the Democrat-controlled state Legislature placed the Prop 50 constitutional amendment on California’s 2025 special election ballot in August.

It authorizes a temporary override of California’s independent redistricting process for congressional districts, allowing the Democrat-controlled Legislature to gerrymander new maps starting with the 2026 midterm elections.

“The Unconstitutional Redistricting Vote in California is a GIANT SCAM in that the entire process, in particular the Voting itself, is RIGGED,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “All ‘Mail-In’ Ballots, where the Republicans in that State are ‘Shut Out,’ is under very serious legal and criminal review,” he added. “STAY TUNED.”

Amid a sea of cowards in Europe and elsewhere, President Donald Trump has become the first major world leader to recognize the ongoing genocide in Nigeria.

As RedState reported, in a social media post, he called the situation an “existential threat” to Christians in the region and designated the African nation a “country of particular concern.” That alone isn’t very meaningful because it only pushes diplomatic lines. In a later post, though, he spoke more directly, threatening to go in “guns-a-blazing” to deal with the Islamic terrorists committing these atrocities.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—New York Attorney General Letitia James is fighting a federal criminal probe over alleged “selective enforcement” in cases she brought against President Donald Trump’s business and the National Rifle Association (NRA), court documents unsealed Friday reveal.

James’s effort to block subpoenas issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ) touches “on matters of national concern, with implications that stretch well beyond this action,” Judge Lorna Schofield, an Obama appointee, wrote in her order making the filings public Friday.

“Unsealing this action is not only permissible but compelled,” the judge wrote. “One simple fact drives this conclusion: the information at issue is not secret.”

In August 2025, it was widely reported that acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York John A. Sarcone III issued subpoenas related to James’s civil fraud case against Trump and his company, along with her case against the National Rifle Association (NRA).

James was indicted in October in a separate mortgage fraud probe in Virginia, where she faces two charges for alleged bank fraud and false statements to a financial institution.

On Friday, Trump designated Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern via the Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

This comes as the city of Portland and the state of Oregon recommit to their status as sanctuaries for illegal immigrants in the face of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal migration.

Several illegal aliens involved with the Tren de Aragua terror group were apprehended in Portland, Oregon, during a high-risk operation involving the illicit sales of drugs, firearms, and ammunition. The suspects, who were originally residing in Chicago, are believed to have moved to Portland just over a month ago in response to immigration enforcement operations increasing in the Windy City, federal investigators say.

US Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) breached a Portland apartment unit the group was suspected of using as a “stash house” on October 24, taking the ringleader into custody, along with seven other accomplices, all of whom are illegally present in the United States and have suspected ties to Tren de Aragua, according to authorities.

A federal judge extended an order barring President Donald Trump‘s federalization and deployment of the National Guard to Portland, as she prepares to issue a final ruling later this week.

U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut has continuously sided with Oregon officials over the Trump administration about whether the president lawfully ordered the deployment of the National Guard in September, further extending her order blocking the deployment of any troops to Portland through Friday.

Immergut held a three-day trial last week featuring testimony related to Trump’s claims that protests over federal immigration operations grew so unruly he needed to call in the National Guard to protect federal assets and officials. The federal judge said that while she is still reviewing the evidence and testimony from the trial, based on her early reading of the evidence, the administration’s claims of violence in the immediate weeks before the deployment were unfounded.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has declared that his fellow Democrats should “own the shutdown” as the government closure enters its second month.

Fetterman argues that the Democrats must acknowledge that the party bears responsibility for the ongoing stalemate that has left millions of Americans without federal food assistance.

During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Fetterman was asked about the lapse of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on November 1.

The lapse cut off benefits for roughly 42 million Americans, including two million Pennsylvanians.

Tapper framed the issue as a political standoff between the White House and the Trump administration, asking Fetterman who he believed was to blame.
