Director Kash Patel Busts Jack Smith For Tracking Private Phone Calls of Several GOP Senators During J6 Probe– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:
Joe Biden’s FBI – and later Jack Smith – spied on eight Republican Senators during the ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation into January 6.
Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson earlier this year released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.
Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice and compromised FBI. According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
Now this… Jack Smith tracked private phone calls of eight GOP Senators.

Leftists Put $10K Bounty on Killing ICE Officers, Chicago Mayor Johnson Escalates Violent Rhetoric– gellerreport.com

Excerpt:
Anti-American leftist anarchists are doxing, stalking, and targeting federal agents in coordinated plots across major U.S. cities, with some groups offering thousands of dollars to kidnap or kill them, according to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
Democrat rioters are chant “K*LL ICE” rhetoric. ICE agents are being called the Gestapo.
In yet another dangerous escalation of rhetoric. The socialist mayor of Chicago was decrying efforts from ICE law enforcement officials: “For now, let me just say that we are unequivocally going to continue to reject the military occupation of our city. The Trump administration must end the war on Chicago. The Trump administration must end this war against Americans. The Trump administration must end its attempt to dismantle our democracy. Right as we are making historic progress in reducing violence, the Trump administration is seeking to destabilize our city and provoke chaos. We said that they would use ICE as a pretext to send in the National Guard, and now they are doing just that. I’ve also said for the last couple of years that the extreme right in this country refused to accept the results of the Civil War. They have repeatedly called for a rematch. In the coming weeks, we will use this opportunity to build greater resistance” (Real Clear Politics).
Call it war…because that is just what it is.

WTO downgrades global trade growth forecast to 0.5% for next year– www.channelnewsasia.com
Source Link
Excerpt:
GENEVA: The World Trade Organization sharply lowered its 2026 forecast for global merchandise trade volume growth to 0.5 per cent on Tuesday (Oct 7), citing expected delayed impacts from US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
It marks a significant revision down from its previous estimate in August of 1.8 per cent growth.
“The outlook for next year is bleaker … I am very concerned,” Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told reporters in Geneva.
However, she said the world trading system is showing resilience, with the rules-based multilateral system providing some stability amid trade turmoil.
For 2025, the WTO upgraded its forecast for global trade volume growth to 2.4 per cent, from 0.9 per cent previously, driven primarily by the front-loading of imports into the United States ahead of tariff hikes and growth in the trade of AI-related goods. It is still below the 2.8 per cent growth seen in 2024.
Trump’s tariff decisions since he took office in January have shocked financial markets and sent a wave of uncertainty through the global economy.
On Aug 7, Trump imposed higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries, leaving major trade partners like Switzerland, Brazil and India scrambling for a better deal, while the EU struck a deal that set duties at 15 per cent on most EU goods imported into the United States.

Greta Thunberg among 171 flotilla activists deported from Israel after failed bid to reach Gaza– www.euronews.com

Excerpt:
Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau are amongst 171 flotilla activists deported by Israel to Greece and Slovakia on Monday after a failed bid to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza last week.
The activists were detained by Israel in an operation which started last Wednesday night after its navy intercepted 44 civilain boats carrying a symbolic amount of aid to Gaza.
The flotilla’s goal had been to break Israel’s long-standing blockade of the Strip and to bring crucial aid into the war-ravaged enclave.
“The deportees are citizens of Greece, Italy, France, Ireland, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Austria, Luxembourg, Finland, Denmark, Slovakia, Switzerland, Norway, the UK, Serbia, and the United States,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry wrote on X, attaching photograhs of the released activists in white T-shirts and grey sweatpants.
Several activists were already released over the weekend by Israel to Turkey, Spain and Italy. They spoke to reporters about the harsh conditions Thunberg and other prisoners were subjected to. Earlier, Swiss and Spanish activists said they were subject to inhumane conditions.
“We were detained in a maximum security prison where there was no rule of law, they didn’t respect any of our rights,” former Barcelona mayor Ada Colau claimed.

Cruz vows accountability for Nigerian Christian killings and violence– www.foxnews.com

Excerpt:
FIRST ON FOX: A diplomatic battle is being waged between leading Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Nigerian government officials. The Texas senator has warned he will hold them accountable for the reported “mass slaughter” of tens of thousands of Christians in Nigeria. The officials say Cruz is lying, with one claiming that despite even the pope publicly calling out the killings, there is religious harmony in the country.
Nigeria is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a Christian, according to international Christian advocacy group Open Doors International’s 2025 World Watch List (WWL). An estimated 48% of the population is Christian. But of the 4,476 Christians reported killed worldwide in WWL’s latest reporting period, 3,100 – 69% – were in Nigeria.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, has introduced the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act, which he said would target officials “with powerful sanctions and other tools.”

White House Notches Significant Court Victory On ‘Sanctuary City’ Funding– trendingpoliticsnews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:
A federal judge in Massachusetts denied a request for an injunction sought by two “sanctuary cities” in the state — Chelsea and Somerville — that sought to bar the Trump Administration from withholding federal funds due to their support for illegal aliens.
Somerville and Chelsea had requested a preliminary injunction in June, arguing that the targeting of cities and towns over their “sanctuary” policies — which openly defy federal immigration law by barring local authorities from working with immigration agents — is unconstitutional and at odds with advice from local law enforcement, according to a report from the Boston Herald.
The cities have also claimed that if the federal government withheld funds while their legal challenges were ongoing, there would be “irreparable harm” to municipal services.
U.S. District Judge Nathaniel Gorton indicated that he was not buying those arguments when he denied the request for an injunction on Friday. In his Judge Gorton noted that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “has not frozen any particular funding, denied any grant application or withheld any reimbursement from plaintiffs.”
Judge Rules Biden’s Offshore Oil Drilling Ban Illegal– conservativeroof.com
Source Link
Excerpt:
President Joe Biden’s ban on offshore drilling in certain parts of the ocean and the Gulf of America was illegal, a federal judge ruled on Oct. 2.
U.S. District Judge James Cain of Louisiana ruled that both Biden and President Barack Obama went beyond their authority when they banned offshore drilling in parts of the Outer Continental Shelf because the bans were imposed without an expiration date.
Their orders “purported to apply for ‘a period of time without specific expiration,’ i.e., indefinitely,” Cain wrote in a 16-page decision. That “constituted a departure from the executive branch’s longstanding practice” and exceeded the authority outlined in the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, he added. Biden, on Jan. 6, shortly before his term ended, barred oil and gas leasing across 625 million acres of ocean, including the entire East and West coasts.
“My decision reflects what coastal communities, businesses, and beachgoers have known for a long time: that drilling off these coasts could cause irreversible damage to places we hold dear and is unnecessary to meet our nation’s energy needs,” Biden said in a statement at the time. “It is not worth the risks.”
On Jan. 17, several groups and five states sued the government over the action.

DOJ Opens Investigation Into Portland Police After Weeks Of Violent Rioting– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:
The U.S. Justice Department is opening an investigation into the Portland Police Bureau’s “questionable” practice surrounding weeks of sustained attacks and violent rioting targeting federal buildings and agents in the city.
The news was announced just hours after conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested by Portland Police after he was surrounded by a mob of far-left rioters, some of whom damaged his equipment and ultimately assaulted him. Despite the circumstances of the attack, Sortor was taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct.
Just a day before, on-the-ground reporter Katie Daviscourt — who has consistently documented far-left and Antifa violence in Portland, Seattle and other cities — was assaulted with a metal poll. The incident was captured on camera, though the perpetrator was not arrested despite the fact that an officer was standing just feet away.
The Portland Police Bureau confirmed that one of its “dialogue liaison officers,” sworn officers tasked with “hold[ing] a safe space” for protesters, lost track of the suspect. The DLO followed the woman, who was described as a white female with a large septum nose piercing wearing a black mask and carrying a backpack, trying to talk to her to “hear her side of the story,” according to a news release from the department.

Excerpt:
The White House has announced that it will be looking into the case of a child killer who was freed from prison after less than a decade in prison. Ronald Exantus, 42, stabbed an entire family in 2015, killing a 6-year-old boy. Today, he is walking free after being released 13 years early.
“I can confirm the White House is looking into this. It’s wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on X in response to a video about the case.
Logan Tipton, 6, was repeatedly slashed in the head by Exantus on the night of December 7, 2015, after the intruder broke into their home. When Dean Tipton confronted the killer, he was stabbed and then tossed 10-15 feet by Exantus. The daughter in the family, Dakota, described the crimes.
“He stabbed me in the back. And then stomped on my head,” she said. “And I remember waking up across the room, not where I was at, and I looked and he was killing Logan and Logan was screaming.” Exantus was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2018 on only assault charges as the jury found him not guilty of murder, citing insanity. On October 1, he was released on parole because of good behavior and educational credit.

In 2018, Exantus was sentenced to 20 years for breaking into the home of 6-year-old Logan Tipton, fatally stabbing him, and later attacking his family, WLKY reported. Having served less than half his sentence, Exantus was released on parole, prompting the Tipton family to speak out against the decision.
“You took a human being’s life, not just a human being, a 6-year-old boy who had yet to even begun, to begin to live,” Logan’s father, Dean Tipton, told WLEX. “You know, so my thing is, mentally ill or not, you should be… you take a life. Your life should be at least life in prison without the possibility of parole.”
Home invader Ronald Exantus, who viciously slaughtered 6 year-old Logan Tipton in Versailles, KY, in 2015, has JUST BEEN RELEASED for “good behavior.”

Excerpt:The U.S. Supreme Court gave the Trump administration a win against mass amnesty as ICE Chicago topped more than 1000 arrests of illegal aliens in one of the most challenging and crime-infested sanctuary cities in America.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem came to Chicago to oversee enforcement action and its results as Operation Midway Blitz there continues at full force, despite resistance from state and local Democrat politicians. The arrested illegal aliens that Democrats are bewailing include pedophiles, kidnappers, gang members, child abusers, and armed robbers, according to a DHS press release.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin proudly highlighted the new numbers. “During Operation Midway Blitz, our brave DHS law enforcement has made more than 1,000 arrests across Illinois including of pedophiles, child abusers, kidnappers, gang members, and armed robbers,” she stated. “Our patriotic law enforcement officers are making these arrests despite working without pay because of the Democrats’ shutdown. President Trump and Secretary Noem will not allow continued violence or repeat offenders to terrorize our neighborhoods and victimize our children. Operation Midway Blitz is making Illinois safe again.”
Among the arrestees are Mexican illegals Rafael Alberto Tolentino Martinez, previously convicted of aggravated domestic battery of a three-year-old, and Marco Geronimo Ocampo, arrested before this for domestic battery, armed

Portland police have arrested a man wearing a “Freedom” Charlie Kirk memorial t-shirt who was seen defending himself during a brawl with an attacker outside the city’s ICE facility one night prior.
A fight broke out earlier this week outside the facility when a bald, left-wing protester wearing black clothing and yellow-and-black shorts approached a man in a Charlie Kirk “Freedom” shirt and kicked him. The conservative man fought back, leading to a brief fist fight as Antifa agitators shouted insults. Federal officers quickly intervened, appearing to detain the attacker and escort the conservative man away.
