Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies.

MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but.

These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al).  The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.

Elon Musk vulnerably told the world in July 2024, “My son Xavier is dead, killed by the woke mind virus,” adding starkly, “They call it deadnaming for a reason … they call it deadnaming because your son is dead.” Musk explained this mind virus to Bill Maher on his show more than a year earlier as a psychic spell where “you can’t question things; even the questioning is bad.”

This virulent virus fuels the deadly secular religion of transgenderism, a lie founded upon a contra-scientific view of male or female that rapidly infected millions of young people through social contagion over the last ten years. It caused whole guilds of otherwise well-educated professionals (physicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, educators, coaches, sports administrators, athletic associations, politicians, and the media) to lose their collective reason, objectivity, and credibility. We have all seen its horrific effects.

Ian Andre Roberts, the illegal alien ineligible for employment in the U.S. but hired in Iowa as superintendent at the Des Moines School District, is a registered Maryland voter.

By law, only U.S. citizens are allowed to register to vote in U.S. elections, but an election watchdog group, the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), looked into voter registration in states where Roberts previously lived and found he registered to vote as a Democrat twice, once in 2011 and again in 2016.

It raises questions about how many other illegal aliens or otherwise ineligible people have successfully registered to vote. As AAF president Tom Jones told Fox 45, “We can’t rely on the honor system to hope that illegal aliens won’t lie to us.”

Pope Leo XIV reiterated the Church’s condemnation of usury while meeting with members of Italy’s National Anti-Usury Council on Saturday.

During the October 18 address to the Anti-Usury Council, the pontiff strongly condemned the practice of usury as a “grave sin” that “corrupts the human heart,” emphasizing that it ultimately enslaves the most vulnerable of the population. Usury, or the practice of charging excessive interest rates on loans, has been consistently condemned by the Church.

“The phenomenon of usury points to the corruption of the human heart. It is a painful and ancient story, already attested to in the Bible,” Leo noted.

Other signs read “No detentions,” and marchers were seen alongside a large banner that read “All Nazis go to hell.”

Protesters participating in the “No Kings” demonstrations in New York City on Saturday were seen holding signs labeling several well-known Democrats and public figures as “Antifa,” including Gavin Newsom, Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jimmy Kimmel.

Footage posted by Turning Point USA’s Frontlines’ Savanah Hernandez showed protesters carrying posters depicting these notable democrats with the word “ANTIFA” printed above their images. Other signs read “No detentions,” and marchers were seen alongside a large banner that read “All Nazis go to hell.”

A self-described “anti-fascist” protester at a Washington D.C.  “No Kings” protest on Saturday admitted to receiving training ahead of the nationwide demonstrations, which Democrats have attempted to frame as an organic display of public opinion.

While reporting from the National Mall, Newsmax correspondent Alana Austin spoke with a woman holding an Antifa-related sign, who described herself as “antifascist,” though she stopped short of claiming any affiliation with the group. The anti-Trump protester also appeared to insinuate that the group — which operates hundreds of named chapters across the globe — does not exist.

New York Times reporter Anemona Hartocollis blamed Republicans for the supposed suppression of free speech on campus lately – as in, why aren’t pro-Hamas campus activists able to disrupt classes, occupy buildings, and harass Jewish students — in Tuesday’s “What Happened to Campus Activism Against the War in Gaza?

The war in Gaza was started by Hamas when they invaded Israel and killed or kidnapped over 1,000 Israeli civilians. But there was no attempt at balance. The only quoted material came in support of the pro-Hamas campus activists, with no dissenters from the one-sided tone.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrations swept through campuses across the country in the spring of 2024, leading to the arrests of more than 3,100 people. But in the more than a year and a half since, the protests have dissipated, even as the war in Gaza intensified.

Why the shift?

A major factor is the strict crackdown that universities waged on student protesters who built encampments on college campuses, beginning with Columbia and spreading across the country.

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.

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and the US president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner have arrived in Israel on Monday to shore up the shaky Israel-Hamas ceasefire, a day after the fragile deal faced its first flareup with Israel threatening to halt aid transfers after it said Hamas militants had killed two of its soldiers.

The Israeli military later said it continued enforcing the ceasefire and an official confirmed that aid deliveries would resume on Monday.

By early afternoon, it was not immediately clear if the flow of aid had restarted.

More than a week has passed since the start of the US-proposed truce aimed at ending two years of devastating Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

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.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has signaled a shift in support toward Russia’s Vladimir Putin as he looks for a quick end to the war in Ukraine, likely striking fear into Ukrainian officials.

Trump held a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Friday, with the potential supply of U.S. long-range cruise missiles, Tomahawks, on the agenda.

Zelenskyy walked away from the meeting not only empty-handed, but apparently upbraided by Trump, who said Ukraine should accept Russia’s terms for ending the war — by handing over the entire eastern territory of Donbas, the epicenter of ongoing fighting in Ukraine.

The acting prime minister, Richard Marles, has condemned the “unsafe and unprofessional” behaviour of the Chinese military, saying a fighter jet released flares close to an Australian surveillance plane over the South China Sea.

Australia’s defence forces expressed “concerns” about the incident in a statement, saying it posed a risk to Royal Australian Air Force personnel and their aircraft. No injuries or damage was sustained as a result of actions.

It is at least the third such incident in the past 18 months, with similar contested encounters occurring in February and in May 2024.

The fragile truce in Gaza faced its first major test on Sunday after Israel alleged Hamas had violated the ceasefire and hit back with air and artillery strikes.

An Israeli security official told The Associated Press, on the condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement, that the transfer of aid into Gaza is halted “until further notice.”

Earlier Sunday, Israel’s military said it hit multiple targets in the Gaza Strip using aircraft and artillery, after it accused Hamas of shooting at Israeli soldiers. Military officials later said two soldiers were killed.

An Israeli military official told CBS News that Hamas had targeted its soldiers with a rocket-propelled grenade and sniper fire.

Scientists have developed a promising cancer therapy that uses LED light and ultra-thin flakes of tin to eliminate cancer cells while protecting healthy tissue. Unlike traditional chemotherapy and other invasive treatments, this new method avoids the painful side effects patients often endure.

The breakthrough comes from a partnership between The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Porto in Portugal, made possible through the UT Austin Portugal Program. The collaboration aims to make light-based cancer therapies more accessible and affordable. Current versions of these treatments rely on expensive materials, specialized lab setups, and powerful lasers that can sometimes damage surrounding tissue. By switching to LEDs and introducing tin-based “SnOx nanoflakes” (“Sn” is the chemical symbol for tin), the researchers have created a safer and potentially low-cost alternative.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have agreed to an “immediate ceasefire” after a week of deadly clashes along their border, as the ties between the two South Asian neighbours plunged to their lowest point since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

Both countries agreed to stop fighting and work towards “lasting peace and stability” after peace talks in Doha, the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Sunday, about the deal it mediated alongside Turkiye.

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent the virus from spreading throughout the body. But such a response to a false alarm will mean the cell will die unnecessarily.

In the early 2010s, nearly every STEM-savvy college-bound kid heard the same advice: Learn to code. Python was the new Latin. Computer science was the ticket to a stable, well-paid, future-proof life.

But in 2025, the glow has dimmed. “Learn to code” now sounds a little like “learn shorthand.” Teenagers still want jobs in tech, but they no longer see a single path to get there. AI seems poised to snatch up coding jobs, and there aren’t a plethora of AP classes in vibe coding. Their teachers are scrambling to keep up.

“There’s a move from taking as much computer science as you can to now trying to get in as many statistics courses” as possible, says Benjamin Rubenstein, an assistant principal at New York’s Manhattan Village Academy. Rubenstein has spent 20 years in New York City classrooms, long enough to watch the “STEM pipeline” morph into a network of branching paths instead of one straight line. For his students, studying stats feels more practical.

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.
