Macron begins by acknowledging there were some “shortcomings” in response to last weekend’s protests, with “an element of surprise.” He says the government needs to learn from that and apply it to this weekend’s events.

He says that local authorities have been empowered to adopt local measures, such as bans on gatherings, and the judicial system is “fully mobilised” to respond to events.

The president backs the justice ministry’s call for seeking harsh punishments for those involved in the riots.

He then makes it very clear what he makes of the riots:

“We witness both political and even seditious acts carried out by organised ultra-left groups aiming to bring down the Republic – acts that these groups themselves openly claim, characterised by extreme, intense violence.”

The Feds Have That DNA Evidence on Ilhan Omar…and It Could Totally Wreck Her– townhall.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Is this the ballgame for Ilhan Omar? The Minnesota Democrat has gone into the bunker ever since federal agents searched her D.C. residence last Monday. The search warrant was framed as political persecution, a talking point that died a quick death: a Democrat judge signed it, and such searches aren’t approved unless the evidence is damning. Federal agents confiscated Omar’s passport, phone, and computer. The major development in the investigation into Omar, at least regarding the immigration fraud allegations, stems from her sister’s text messages, and federal agents seized her device before the search.

Federal agents were reportedly dumpster diving through Omar’s trash, looking for DNA evidence. Was something else going on? We know that evidence was obtained, and that thing about marrying her brother that the liberal media dismissed as a conspiracy theory — it might be true. Also, we’ve learned the trash sifting was not for DNA (via NY Post):

Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post.

People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities.

One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card — which never came to fruition.

The U.S. has announced a ban on China’s DeepSeek AI from U.S. government systems, citing security risks. China has responded by threatening consequences if the U.S. doesn’t reverse this decision. DeepSeek models “present multiple threat pathways,” according to a notice published by the U.S. Federal Register.

China pushed back and signalled possible countermeasures after the United States banned the use of products from Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek in federal civilian agencies’ IT systems.

AP and Bloomberg reported on Oct. 21 that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security notified federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek products and third-party products and services developed using DeepSeek technology from their IT systems. The move follows an order issued in late July and also bans new procurement of the related products and services.

A notice published in the U.S. Federal Register said DeepSeek models “present multiple threat pathways”. It cited concerns that because DeepSeek servers are in China, Chinese authorities could gain access to private-sector infrastructure and sensitive U.S. data. DeepSeek’s open-source models are widely used in many countries including the United States, and are mostly provided for free.

Asked about the matter, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning (마오닝) said China would “resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests” of Chinese companies. She added that China consistently opposes the excessive expansion of the concept of national security.

China’s commerce ministry also expressed “strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition” to the U.S. move. It said the United States ignored an agreement between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump and overlooked the overall state of China-U.S. economic and trade relations. It added that the United States was trying to contain China by imposing discriminatory restrictions under the pretext of national security, and said China would take all necessary measures to protect its legitimate rights and interests.

The Chinese have sent ships to shadow U.S. ships on patrol in the Taiwan Strait. While the Chinese have done this before, these shadowing operations have recently increased, along with their presence in the Philippine Sea. The U.S. and Taiwan have met this increased activity with their own increased activity in response.

EXCERPT:

Things are continuing to heat up in the Taiwan Strait as naval confrontations become more frequent and aggressive, though the first shot has not yet been fired.

China dispatched naval forces to shadow an American warship near a disputed South China Sea shoal Tuesday as Taiwan confronted a Chinese Coast Guard vessel accused of entering restricted waters with its tracking system disabled, according to the Chinese military and Taiwan Coast Guard. The incidents underscore the growing risk of military confrontations in the region, where Chinese forces are increasingly challenging American and allied vessels.

The USS Charleston, an Independence-class littoral combat ship, entered waters near Sabina Shoal in the disputed Spratly Islands early Tuesday, prompting Chinese naval forces to track and monitor the vessel, according to the PLA Southern Theater Command Navy.

“Taiwan has been getting its act together on defense at last, fielding capabilities designed to deny an invasion fleet (or a blockade fleet) access to the island across the Taiwan Strait,” James R. Holmes, the J. C. Wylie Chair of Maritime Strategy at the Naval War College, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “No access, no Chinese victory, and Taiwan stands. Beijing has been so domineering that it has united the countries along the first island chain against it, including ourselves since we are a resident power in the Western Pacific.”

With little opportunity outside of working sugarcane fields, hundreds of thousands of women in India choose to have their wombs removed to stop having periods. They do this to ensure they don’t miss workdays.

One woman described what they must endure: “We never have a day off. Once we arrive here, it’s constant work every single day for the next four to five months. Even removing my own uterus requires taking on debt. It feels like my body itself has become a slave to the system.”

EXCERPT:

India is the second-largest producer of sugarcane globally, but the demand comes at a brutal cost for some women.

One woman described feeling like “the system has claimed my very womb just so I can keep working.”

An estimated 1.5 million people cut sugarcane across the country, often working 14-hour days for as little as ₹400 (£3). Working in pairs, usually husband and wife, they labour from early morning until night, stopping only to load the harvested cane onto trucks. With few employment opportunities at home, many turn to the arduous work to feed their families. Some travel more than 500km from their villages, spending months in makeshift camps without toilets or clean water.

For female cutters, managing their periods in those conditions adds another painful challenge. Missing a single shift can mean losing wages and facing a fine, leaving some feeling obliged to undergo hysterectomies – surgery to remove their wombs – so they can keep working.

Poornima, a worker considering the operation in the hope of easing her suffering, said: “My suffering isn’t reducing. If I continue this work, it’ll only grow. If I can stop lifting such heavy weights, maybe it’ll be better. But we don’t have an option other than to do this job.”

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has identified 50 million Social Security records that have inaccurate or fraudulent information. They’ve begun a massive database cleanup of Social Security records which are intended to dramatically reduce fraud. This is the largest cleanup operation in the history of the SSA.

“Accurate SSN records prevent fraud across federal programs and support the proper administration of benefits,” Commissioner Frank Bisignano said in a statement.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) under President Trump has announced that it will be conducting the largest clean-up of SSNs in its history. “The Social Security Number database is our country’s books and records. The database’s accuracy is essential to maintaining integrity of government services for citizens. Accurate SSN records prevent fraud across federal programs and support the proper administration of benefits,” Commissioner Frank Bisignano said in a statement.

“This is the first time SSA has undertaken an effort of this scale, and I am proud of the work we have done to strengthen the foundation of identity data relied upon throughout government and the economy.”

The SSA said that approximately 15 percent or around 50 million of all active SSNs have been corrected across 330 million American citizens and 390 million records. SSNs are referred to be agencies in the federal government and in states to verify identities and prevent improper payments in Social Security fraud. During the clean-up, the SSA added records of 17 million deaths that were previously lacking in the system.

GOP Foils Dems’ Election Integrity Shenanigans In North Carolina– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

As President Donald Trump rallied the Republican troops Tuesday in the Tar Heel State two weeks ahead of next month’s midterms, the GOP was coming fresh off a big election integrity victory.

The RNC and the North Carolina Republican Party stopped a last-minute attempt by left-wingers to water down safeguards for absentee ballots.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder denied a motion for preliminary injunction filed by the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, part of a national network of big labor-sponsored activists that advocate for leftist causes, and other leftist groups. Schroeder ruled that the groups sought to block the election integrity directives too late in the game.

As the judge noted, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly admonished lower courts they “should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election.” That particularly holds for injunctions seeking to change the rules of engagement in the eleventh hour. In this case, the “election is not merely upcoming; it has already started,’” the judge wrote in quoting a past SCOTUS decision.

“Plaintiffs have also delayed. They waited eighteen days afterthe 2026 Numbered Memo was issued to bring this action, and they did not file their motion for preliminary injunction until the day before the counting of absentee ballots would begin,” Schroeder wrote.

The vote to secede from Canada failed in Alberta by a convincing margin, with only 23% voting to start the process of secession. With results being delayed, and polls not opening in all places when they should have been, some doubt might remain about the results, but the margin makes it difficult to sustain.

Voters in Canada’s oil-rich province of Alberta have rejected a proposal to begin a process toward independence, results showed early Tuesday, delivering a victory for Prime Minister Mark Carney and supporters of Canadian unity amid President Trump’s trade war and annexation threats.

The vote was not a direct referendum on independence but would have set oil-rich Alberta on a path toward a future vote on separation from Canada.

With more than 1 million votes counted, about 76% supported remaining in Canada, compared with 23% who backed beginning a process that could lead to separation.

“We are a solid country that’s united from coast to coast to coast,” Thomas Lukaszuk, a former Alberta deputy premier who led the Forever Canadian campaign against separation, told supporters.

The progressives are planning on enacting a series of violent actions after the midterm elections, should they win decisively. The plan is to trigger a federal response that will allow progressive-controlled states to rebel against the Federal government.

“What you not have heard is – there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become ‘foot soldiers”’ in constant clashes with the administration to cross a ‘red line’ or invoke a ‘doomsday scenario’ – meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.”

The Proposition 1 campaign to radically expand abortion in Idaho is working hard to convince voters it won’t allow minor girls to get an abortion without their parents’ consent.

A new campaign mailer from Prop 1 claims that “Prop One leaves Idaho’s parental consent laws untouched and intact.” (See attached image of mailer excerpt.)

But the ACLU of Idaho, a supporter of maximally liberalized abortion laws, says on its website that Prop 1’s language conflicts with Idaho’s long-established parental consent laws and would “likely” lead to litigation.

On its Prop 1 FAQs page, under “Would Prop 1 remove parental consent laws?,” the ACLU of Idaho says:

“Prop 1 does not explicitly repeal Idaho’s existing parental consent laws. It does include broad language that could interact with several areas of state code, so legal issues arising from current parental consent laws would likely be resolved in the courts.”

President Donald Trump scored another significant legal victory Monday after the Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to his decision to fire a Biden-appointed federal labor official, leaving intact a ruling that reinforces the president’s authority over executive branch agencies.

The justices rejected an appeal from Gwynne Wilcox, a former member of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), who argued that Trump violated federal law when he removed her from her position shortly after returning to the White House in January 2025.

The decision effectively ends Wilcox’s legal effort to regain her position and represents another victory for the Trump administration in its ongoing battle over presidential authority.

Wilcox, a Democrat appointed by former President Joe Biden, was dismissed just one week into Trump’s second term. Her removal immediately triggered a legal fight over whether presidents can fire officials serving on federal agencies traditionally considered independent of the White House.

Four in 10 college students believe offensive speech should be subject to criminal prosecution, according to the results of a nationwide survey published this month by the Buckley Institute.

The students were asked whether they agree or disagree with the statement: “Offensive speech should be subject to criminal prosecution.”

“Four in ten (40%) agree that offensive speech should be subject to criminal prosecution, while 52% disagree. Agreement is up seven points from last year and is the highest in the three years this question has been asked,” according to the survey, which polled 803 undergrads at four-year colleges across the country in mid-September.

The survey also found 46 percent of college students agree it is sometimes appropriate to shout down or disrupt a speaker on campus, while 47 percent disagree.

Another 45 percent agreed physical violence can be justified to prevent a person from using hate speech or making racially charged comments, while 50 percent disagreed.

Belgium euthanized more than 1,100 people suffering from common ailments whose deaths were not expected in the short term in 2025, a new government report reveals, as the country’s assisted death regime reaches record levels.

The Federal Commission for the Control and Evaluation reports that 1,117 deaths, 24.9% of all registered euthanasia cases, involved patients who were not approaching an imminent death.

The findings expose how far the practice extends beyond terminal patients in their final days, encompassing chronic conditions, psychiatric illness, and cognitive disorders such as dementia.

Belgium recorded 4,486 euthanasia deaths in 2025, a 12.4% increase from the previous year and approximately 4% of all deaths nationwide.

Nearly One in Four Were Not Facing Imminent Death

The commission’s report identifies more than a quarter of the registered cases as involving people whose deaths were not “expected in the short term.”

Those patients had conditions described as incurable, including multiple chronic ailments common among older people.

Some cases involved psychiatric or cognitive conditions.

Although most people euthanized were elderly, the 2025 figures also include a teenager.

The European Parliament has approved a resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and calling for stronger action against Islamist influence in European institutions. The resolution is a significant development in the continent’s efforts to combat political extremism.

The center-right European People’s Party spearheaded the resolution, which follows the Trump administration’s designation of the Muslim Brotherhood and four affiliated branches as terrorist organizations.

French European Parliament member Céline Imart, who sponsored the measure, celebrated the vote as a breakthrough.

“This is a historic victory because it is a European first,” Imart said, describing the resolution as Europe’s first parliamentary action specifically confronting Islamist infiltration and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The resolution warns that organized Islamist networks threaten democratic institutions, religious freedoms, the rule of law and equality between men and women.

It calls for greater scrutiny of foreign funding, particularly involving organizations connected to Qatar and Turkey, and increased transparency surrounding European Union funding of groups suspected of Muslim Brotherhood ties.

Lawmakers also urged the European Council to consider whether Brotherhood-linked individuals and organizations should be added to the EU’s terrorist list.

Researchers from New York’s Binghamton University have developed a wallpaper that generates electricity from the air. The technology is called Moist-electric generators, which have existed for years, but is now closer to becoming practical.

Wallpaper indoors holds an aesthetic value. Other than that, they don’t do much. But a new wallpaper-style device could pull electricity from the moisture already present in the indoor air. At the same time, it also acts as an indoor climate regulator; it absorbs excess moisture from the room and also releases stored moisture to increase humidity.

The study transforms a single sheet of wallpaper into a humidity-responsive platform that not only harvests energy but also helps maintain indoor climate, the researchers say. They also add that this new wallpaper can fuel low-power-demanding gadgets like sensors or wireless modules.

Moist-electric generators (MEGs) are devices that convert humidity into electricity. They have been around for years and have emerged as a reliable energy-harvesting source without an external fuel source. But most of the previous generators have focused on outdoor humidity, “because there is a lot of moisture out there that is an excellent energy resource,” says Seokheun Choi of Binghamton University.

ED. NOTE: We are working on a report on the Immigrant crisis in Europe which we hoped to have completed this week.

In the course of our research, we have discovered that the narratives around the three bellwether European countries we are using for this report are being buried by search engines that assure only progressive state media shows up in current news search results.

Even when prompting AI to present data outside of the progressive state press, not one major AI deployed could comply. Even when we provided them with a list of websites that we use for news aggregate analysis, the AI could still not produce research results outside of the progressive state press.

A couple of websites, like Breitbart and PJ Media, made it into the aggregation analysis process because they are some of the very few non-progressive sites that show up in current news searches.

Without AI, the research process is considerably more time-consuming than with it. In order for us to have a more complete picture of views on the planvasion, it will take us a lot more time than we previously thought, therefore we are offering here a scaled down version of what the final report will be.

We are in the process of building AI bots that will regularly search websites outside the progressive state press to assure we get current news research results not so overwhelmingly dominated by progressive talking points.

This discovery has expanded the scope of our research as we seek to understand how effective, through the use of progressive-controlled search engines and AI agents, the progressive state press is at protecting the narrative and creating violent responses to those outside the progressive orthodoxy.

INTRODUCTION

This report will effectively serve here as the introduction to the final comprehensive report to come.

This week, the planvasion of Europe is no doubt the bellwether story not just of this week, but of the month so far. So, we feel compelled to cover this story, at least in part, in this issue.

We believe the planvasion strategies of the progressives, in alignment with the bulk of their replacement partners, the Islamists, are intended to dismantle the notion of the local, individual nation-state in favor of the one ecumenical nation-state both ideologies believe they need in order to bring heaven on earth.

What we’ve seen this past month so far has only solidified that assumption.

This report is intended to give you a snapshot view of the most recent consequences of governments paying people opposed to western civilization rule of law to invade their country. These countries do this while passing laws criminalizing dissent not only of the planvasion, but of the violent Islamists they’re importing to do their self-sabotaging work.

This month’s MIA will be a special issue focused on the 2026 election, so we won’t be covering this planvasion then. The next issue, November 6, will feature our comprehensive report on the planvasion of Europe. This most likely will be a two-part report (published in the same issue), possibly three parts.

We will provide a comprehensive analysis of the 2026 Midterm election results in the November 13 issue of MIA. We will cover the basic results of the election in the November 6 issue.

By the time of the scheduled publishing of the comprehensive report, we will update the current status of our bellwether countries, the UK, France, and Spain.

We chose these three countries because all three were once Christian countries, and all three are now dominated by progressives, all of which have the same dream, of eliminating all nation-states but one, the ecumenical progressive state.

Their street fighters, their fighting aged men, ALSO want to eliminate all nation-states and create one ecumenical state, only their state is an Islamic caliphate. They both approve murder as a means of advancing their kingdoms. They both approve forcing conversion through violence, and killing, or at least imprisoning, those who refuse to convert.

But the Islamists are not progressives, they are theocrats who derive their “wisdom” from a received source, the Quran, the Tafsirs, and the approved Hadiths. They don’t develop wisdom from material and rational understanding, like the progressives claim they do; they develop an understanding of a wisdom sent to them from Allah.

That fact is making even some progressive hedge their bets on the street fighter army, with concerns they may be overcome themselves by the beast they brought in to finish off non-ecumenical nation-statism.

Here are the key events in our three bellwether countries that crystalize the phenomenon happening across Europe, in varying degrees, from Sweden to German, from Denmark to Italy.

A. THE BRITISH INVASION

We reported in June of this year: “If Northern Ireland is a bellwether of what’s to come in broader Britian, the ordered protests in front of police stations are about to be replaced with organized targeted assaults on migrant strongholds.”

This was referring to a series of violent actions by the native Irish targeting immigrant housing and government authority responsible for protecting and bringing in fighting aged men from countries that hate their culture and their ways.

Since then, lenient sentences against Islamist immigrants in contrast to draconian ones against British citizens have only pushed the perceived existential distance between the natives and the government-sponsored imports. While pedophile rapists get light sentences, British citizens are being arrested for denying that a man cannot “choose” to become a woman.

British citizens are now attempting to meet the boats of fighting aged men at the shores and preventing them from landing. The British police appear in numerous viral videos beating on the British natives while they escort the government-funded fighting aged men into their government-funded housing (which is often far better than what many British citizens have).

Heads of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are threatening to secede from the Union because of fears the “far right” may take the helm of 10 Downing Street. For these leaders, England is still too English, and they don’t want to be part of a nation that protects the English from being overrun by foreigners who hate their culture, their values, and their God.

Piddington, a small community in Oxfordshire, England, held a symbolic referendum to begin the process of seceding from a Union that wants to pay an invader army to overcome it with child rape and Islamist sectarian violence.

The recent handling of terrorist suspects attempting to bomb U.S. assets on a British air base may further embolden Islamist radicals from within, especially Iranian ones.

The bellwether event of the past month is the recent “protest” by Islamists in London on the 3rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of Israeli women and children by Hamas. The crowds waved Hamas flags and chanted death threat to the Jews and the Israeli state. This was not deemed hate speech by the progressive British government.

As these Islamists and their progressive supporters flooded the streets of the British Islamist capital, London, a man in Ireland was being arrested for refusing to call men women. The native  man will go to prison, the supporters of a genocidal death cult, Hamas, were feted by the progressive state press. None of them were arrested for hate speech violations.

B. FRENCH “STUDENTS”

We reported on October 3 of this year that multiple riots broke out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush.

French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.

As near as we can figure out, the movement began in Mid-September with peaceful protests mostly composed of French native youth. They were asking for better conditions and resources in the state’s public school system.

The protests quickly turned violent, being taken over by opportunist Islamists and progressives. Yet even as that shift occurred, the progressive state media continued to claim this was a student-led protest about school resources.

From October 5-6, the largest days of riots and protests occurred so far. This was coordinated between the original French student protest organizers, the radical anti-French progressives, and the Islamists. It was called the “National Day of Action.”

Let us remember “action” is a short term for “direct action,” and “direct action” is a dog whistle for direct violence.

French officials, including the Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu , continued (and are continuing) to call this “Student protests,” despite numerous viral videos showing Islamists and Progressive adults engaging in violent action against French citizens and French businesses.

A school shooting by a 14-year-old that left his headmaster, and another teacher, injured has expanded the violent reach of the growing “movement.” The identity of the 14-year-old hasn’t been released as of the completion of this report.

The response from French authorities seems to be to blame the violence on misinformation online, not the invasion of the country by fighting aged men sponsored by your taxes. The authorities are indicating they intend on using this crisis to push for more censorship of dissent from the progressive orthodoxy.

Minister of National Education Édouard Geffray said “This unacceptable act bears witness once again to the spread of unbridled violence in our society, against which we must all mobilize. In words as in deeds.”

Now, Greta Thunberg has joined the fight against French identity. The riots have spread to Belgium, and even Macron has begun to acknowledge that “student protests” may have political elements exploiting their movement to their own ends.

C. CEUTA, SPAIN

In January 2026, Spain announced effective amnesty for anyone who entered the country before late 2025. They also had to show they were here for five months and in good standing with the authorities. The plan claimed it would create amnesty for only 500,000 people, but that quickly exploded to 1.2 million by the end of June.

In late June, Spain announced another change in its immigration policy. No immigrant would be admitted by sea unless they came through Ceuta or Melilla. People illegally entering the country by land would be “regularized,” while people who came by sea would have to do it “legally.”

On the last two days of June more than 50,000 people, mostly Moroccan Muslim “fighting age” men, came flooding into Ceuta, where battles between the natives and the fighting age men broke out. Spanish police mostly protected the fighting age men, though there was some pushback by the police against them.

Since that moment, the “right” in Spain has been gaining more on-the-ground power with protests continuing even as this report is being written. Fights between fighting aged men and natives have not let up, and the Spanish police continue to mostly protect the fighting aged men.

The upheaval has triggered a snap election from Spain’s Prime Minister. We wrote last week:

More and more Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against Spain’s policies of open borders and the state-financed invasion by Islamists intending to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rule thanks to a coalition of leftists.

His own party fared worse than the pro-Spanish party in the last election (which finished first but was kept out of power by the far-left coalition). Now, Sanchez must call a Snap election before any hope of winning another election (if he even makes it to that point) dies as the resistance to his Spain-hating policies grows.

SUMMARY

It is clear and obvious at this point that the “replacement” conspiracy in white western countries is real. Outside of the diehard progressives and the Islamists benefiting from this planvasion, more and more regular citizens are being confronted with the violent reality of the planvasion.

With each raped daughter, with each arrested family member who dissented against the planvasion and its invaders, more and more non-politically active people are finding it increasingly difficult not to notice the replacement conspiracy at work in their daily lives.

I will grant you that the “replacement” conspiracy has been used by real ethnic fascistic nationalists, but that’s been to the help of the planvasion plotters, not to their detriment. It has always been obvious to anyone not wed to the notion that the strong should inherently suffer at the hands of the weak (social justice) that the strategy has always been about importing humans not formed by western, free speech values.

What they seek to import are street fighters and future citizens fully on board with murdering dissent. What they may be miscalculating is their ability to not become one of the murdered dissenters.

The progressives behind this don’t hate the white race; after all, most of them are white. What they hate are human beings that are formed by a sense of liberty entitlement. Western-raised humans grow up expecting limits on state power, especially when it comes to belief. Getting western peoples to voluntarily surrender this sense of entitlement is a lot more difficult than simply importing enough non-western raised peoples whose children would not inherit the traditions of the west.

In other words, they’ll be raised Islamist, not American or British, etc.

The white devil narrative, which is worldwide wherever progressives hold power, gives the progressive a justification for lying to their own white citizens while they knowingly import people intended to destroy their way of life. The white devil narrative is why progressive judges let child rapist immigrants go free.

If we were not so gradually inured to this white hate, we would never empower a people that hate their own white citizens to govern them. Yet, white progressives do this every day, worldwide, wherever and whenever they can.

For progressives and Islamists alike, lying to bring heaven on earth is justified by the belief it will bring heaven on earth.

To the progressive, the criminal who rapes is a righteous judgment on majority power. Let the majority power suffer the consequences of their own oppressive ways, the criminals they produce. To the progressive, all advantaged power that is not theirs is oppressive in and of itself.

The only way to free the white devil, the advantaged power, from his own tyrannical spirit is by allowing immigrants to murder and rape them. This is not hyperbole. This is how progressives regularly speak, especially in halls of academia, their base of power.

Rousseau may have justified chains to make you free, progressives of today justify murder to make you free.

If you rape a child, the right child, a white child, and you do it in the name of any god by Christ, you are a policeman inflicting righteous punishment on an unrighteous people. You go free.

If the child dies, the child dies. For the sake of heaven on earth here and now, who is not afraid to allow their neighbors to be raped and murdered by people better than yourselves?

To progressives and Islamists, to declare this is a planvasion intended to destroy nation-states, Christianity, and even parental rights, is a criminal act that should be violently enforced. The progressive in Europe (and America) would like to immediately execute you, but they haven’t fully killed the western sense of liberty entitlement just yet. Their Islamist allies have no such hesitation wherever they hold civic power. The penalty for dissent is death.

Thought is criminal, murder and theft of the white race is not.

In France, the UK, and Spain, the progressive state press has lost its hold on the minds of the man in the street, the native man in the street. The clear daily demonstrations of the replacement plan in action in their lives is no longer refutable, no matter how much the press equates clear evidence of a planvasion with dog whistles for white supremacists.

These three countries are the bellwethers for many other countries, including our own, that allow foreign non-tolerant ideologies to fester within them, ideologies like progressivism and Islamism, both of which existentially oppose the self-stewarded individual, the person who could openly, freely reject their god and still thrive in the public institutions of the land if their merit allows it.

Both ideologies want to kill the republic of letters, the western ideal, and reinstate the ancient ideal of absolute rule by god-like authority.

What happens over the next 6 months will go a long way in determining, at least in Europe, if the ecumenical nation-state model can finally overcome and vanquish the local nation-state model. Shall the west be one progressive state or continue to be many nation-states that do not empower the state to murder dissent? We are about to find out.

“I see it all the time, that when Trump’s on the ballot, they win. When he’s out of the ballot, the people don’t go to vote, and I’m asking the people … to get out and vote. Pretend I’m on the ballot.” – Donald Trump on the Midterm Elections, August 27, 2026

In the U.S., mid-terms almost always go hard against the incumbent President’s party. To overcome that you have to do extraordinary things, and you genuinely have to appeal to a decent majority of voters.

In a country with a fairly even split by party affiliation, where party is sadly becoming part of people’s identity, that means mid-terms are hardly winnable for the party in power unless it does something spectacular.

What’s amazing is how neither party gets this.

They win everything with a strong Presidential election year victory then they essentially give lip service to their supporters and “phone it in.”

I wouldn’t accuse Trump of phoning it in, although I would argue he hasn’t mastered appealing to a solid majority of Americans. While the progressive state press has contributed greatly to his negative image, I believe he has plenty of blame to put directly on himself.

If anyone can overcome the progressive state press bullhorn, it’s the President of the United States. Presidents can bypass the bias against them, they have a bully pulpit, as they say.

The Thune-led GOP Senate has remained paralyzed by their own party leader, who continues to prevent critical Trump policies from passing, especially the SAVE America Act, which would gut progressive election power, even in the midterms had it been passed.

The GOP majority in the House is a slim majority, one that can be overcome with a few dissenting GOP House members. Yet even with that slim majority, Johnson was able to get the SAVE Act passed in the House. Nothing of existential substance has passed the Senate under Thune.

The progressives have been protected by Republican leadership to spite the man they hate more than they love America, Trump.

They also collude with Democrats against Trump because, in fact, the GOP’s shot-callers hate Trump and want to return to the Bush era.

The Democrats will sweep and claim a new mandate, as the Republicans did, and forget that they won, as did the Republicans, not because people positively supported them but because the other party screwed up again.

And the cycle continues, each one plumbing deeper depths of inanity, incompetence, and disregard for the People who elected them.

The Democrats will focus on whatever gives them power and seals their majority forever. This is their dream, to rule the Federal Government like they do the California, with no effective opposition and a perpetual super-majority in the legislature.

The GOP leadership doesn’t recognize the Democrats as the existential threat that they are to the republic, or they are in on it, or they would rather live in a Democrat-controlled state than an American-controlled one.

No matter the reason, the GOP leadership handed the Democrats majority control of the Federal legislature, and they did so with premeditation and malice of forethought.

The Bush GOP never tried to defeat the Democratic Party agenda in toto as the Democratic Party attempts to do to the GOP. The Bush GOP was for globalist corpostate systems which needed this dynamic of competition between the two parties as leverage over them both, in my estimation.

As should be obvious to you, I would never suggest the reason the GOP hasn’t attempted to existentially affect the DNC is because they are the better people; I would suggest to you that the reason they haven’t attempted to existentially affect the DNC is because they have far more in common with them than they do with George Washington.

The GOP leadership and the DNC are trying to consolidate power for a permanent globalist corpostate system that controls both parties, letting voters think they have a choice.

That scheme has been upended by the Frankenstein beast the DNC raised because it needed violent street fighters, the radical progressives and Islamists united through the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America).

Democrats are colluding with foreign powers (including the CCP and Islamists), to consolidate power at the Federal level in the similar manner they did in California. China, global Jihadism, and other wacko totalitarian groups, however, might be looking to replace their original “clients” with people more ideologically aligned and beholden to them than the current progressive leadership is.

All of these people, foreign and domestic, in this progressive state coalition are anathema to Judeo-Christian civilizations. The resistance (the GOP under current leadership), however, are effectively just as much of a threat to our civilization as the progressives are.

Outside of victories through executive orders, almost all that the republicans have delivered to America were viral congressional hearing videos showing republicans “owning” progressives. The “owned” progressives still either have the power they had before the hearing or are just one Presidential executive order from getting it back.

I will be voting GOP because the Democrats want to make the whole of America like California, which is a nightmare to me. They are abominable people whose anti-American work is writ large in the oppressed lives of its victims. This is a state that kidnaps children from their parents for not being allowed to have their breasts or penises cut off.

My vote doesn’t mean I think the GOP will govern better it they win. They will not. But having two competing parties at least prevents the USA from becoming a socialist Jihadist dream for international forces in Iran and China, while most Americans becomes impoverished slaves.

That is what the Democratic Party represents to me, and it is what it represents to anyone who holds to American Rule of Law, that we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, none of which can be usurped in the name of “social justice.”

I think the GOP will lose badly because they didn’t find a way to appeal to a solid majority and, despite Trump trying to drive his agenda forward, they phoned it in, as they always do. Even people who loath the Democrats will just stay home.

Low information voters with no awareness about the existential crisis our American republic’s Rule of Law is facing will vote against the party in power if their gas prices are too high. Republicans have done little to frame this election as the existential crisis to the republic that it represents. Not even JD Vance is calling the Democratic Party an illegal insurrectionist operation openly advocating for policies that are constitution killers, even though that is exactly what they are.

What Americans either don’t want to believe or just can’t see is that the Democrats who win in 2026 will not be ones with a little pinkie toe in America. These “Democrats” are openly anti-American and anxious to reboot the whole system for good. I hope and pray that if I am right about a big Democratic victory, I am wrong about who the leadership of that party will be.

If the Democrats win, we continue the road towards upheaval, as they have promised to use their power to persecute their opponents and engage in lawfare against them. Wherever they can, they will use state power to create the precedent that rejecting progressive beliefs, like “the white man invented evil,” is “treason” in and of itself. Reading Romans 1 out loud will be considered an act of terrorism against the state.

Expect less governance and more drama, more hatred and division, more violence, and more economic and lawfare warfare against your rights and your wealth, until they lose, if elections continue in any modicum of fairness, and the cycle repeats.

No person of means, with wealth, time, and influence is trying to break the cycle, run out the Bushites and defeat the Jihadist socialist agenda of the anti-American Democrats once and for all.

Would to God that blue collar Democrats rose up and rooted out all the foreign influence out of their party!

Would to God the Fettermans of the Democratic Party replaced the jihadist socialist vermin taking over.

It is for these reasons I will vote in this midterm election, and it is for these reasons that my only choice is to vote straight republican, come what may. At the very least I will be entering into history my opposition to the rise of the progressive state. I hope you join me in this effort.

President Trump has made it clear that Ukraine’s Prime Minister, Volodymyr Zelensky, is not the man to end the Ukraine War. He has pulled back verbal, and even material support, including scaling back intelligence support for Ukraine. The final straw for Trump came with Zelensky refusing to stop bombing Russian diesel refineries.

To Trump’s recent insistence Ukraine stop bombing Russian diesel refineries, Zelensky responded “The block is out. We’re done.” At home, Zelensky faces numerous allegations of corruption as more and more Ukrainians grow weary of fighting for a country that has no free elections.

EXCERPT:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that Ukraine is ending a brief pause on attacks against Russian oil refineries and will resume the strikes, despite warnings from U.S. President Donald Trump.

“The block [on attacking refineries] is out. We’re done,” Zelensky told the Financial Times in an interview published Thursday.

Ukraine had refrained from striking Russian energy facilities for three days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced what he called an “energy ceasefire,” Zelensky said. During that period, Russian forces continued attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian areas. Zelensky said more than 100 civilians were killed in Russian strikes over the past week.

Trump had pressed Ukraine to halt the refinery attacks, which he linked to rising diesel and fuel prices. He also moved to ease restrictions on Russian diesel imports. Moscow never confirmed it had agreed to any reciprocal pause on energy strikes.

Ukraine has for months used long-range drones to target Russian refineries in an effort to reduce revenue and fuel supplies supporting Moscow’s war effort. Western and Ukrainian assessments have reported significant damage to Russia’s refining capacity.

The Houthis of Yemen are wreaking havoc on the Red Sea area, and major cities of Saudi Arabia as well. The latest Houthi missile assault struck the Yemeni presidential palace, killing five.

Saudi Arabia’s deputy foreign minister claimed, “Iran continues to arm, train and support the Houthi militia in violation of UN Security Council resolutions. We think that the escalation by the Houthis at this latest stage of the conflict is encouraged by Iran.”

The Department of Justice is suing the state of California and calling on 20,000 ballots to be frozen to determine whether U.S. citizens are behind the ballots.

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced, “State-facilitated voter fraud is unacceptable in the United States of America. If found responsible in a court of law, the State of California will have seriously undermined confidence in our electoral system and violated laws that protect our nation’s representative system of government.”

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, came after Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter sent letters to counties earlier this week, including Los Angeles, ordering them to review a list of names of suspected noncitizens who he alleged received mail-in ballots for the upcoming midterm elections.

Three children aged five, eight, and 11 were killed in the shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon.

The teen gunman who was taken out by a father after killing three children and a teacher at an Oregon elementary school has been identified as 16-year-old John J. Griffin II.

Three senior law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation revealed the gunman’s identity to NBC News. Two senior law enforcement officials said that the teen’s mother had purchased the long gun used in the shooting around his birthday in August.

The shooting took place on Thursday afternoon, with children ages five, eight, and 11 being killed at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, as well as a teacher. Additionally, a 7-year-old student and a 54-year-old teacher were critically injured. The five-year-old victim has been identified by the family as Rhoam Summer.

Griffin was shot dead by the father of students at the school. The father stormed into the elementary school when he saw the suspect go in at around 1 pm. Police scanners captured sipatch relaying that the suspect had been neutralized, “possibly shot by a father at the school,” as police were arriving.

Former CIA Director John Brennan will not be able to go forward with his lawsuit against the Trump administration. The lawsuit hoped to force the administration to “preserve records” for his potential defense against potential criminal charges. A Federal Judge threw out the “speculative” lawsuit.

A federal judge on Thursday threw out former CIA Director John Brennan’s lawsuit, which sought to compel the Trump administration to preserve records for his defense against potential criminal charges, ruling that he lacked standing.

The Department of Justice is investigating claims that Brennan and other national security officials conspired to undermine President Donald Trump.

The suit, filed in July 2026, sought to compel the Justice Department to retain investigative records so Brennan could prove any indictment against him was the result of vindictive or selective prosecution by the Trump administration.

Judge Jia Cobb, a Clinton-appointed judge, described Brennan’s allegations of political targeting as “deeply concerning,” but determined the claimed injury was “speculative” and not yet imminent, as no indictment has been filed.

While polls continue to show Democrats to be the favorites to win the midterm elections, blue states are showing what progressive rule looks like. Religious liberty is being interpreted in blue states as only being a freedom to worship, not a freedom to outwardly, publicly live out your faith.

From Illinois to New York to California, laws are being passed that are forcing people of faith to participate in abortions, euthanasia, and affirm LGBTQ lifestyles. While “affordability” still appears to be the top issue in this election, “government trust” is a rising issue.

A dangerous theory is taking hold that religious freedom applies only to the right to worship.

Illinois’ assisted suicide law took effect in September. Cardinal Blase Cupich and Bishop Thomas Paprocki have both sued to keep the state from compelling Catholic hospitals and doctors to take part. A group of Muslim doctors similarly have sought protection from the state mandate. The state has yielded temporarily. In July, a federal judge shielded the Little Sisters of the Poor from New York’s version. The message from the state in each case is the same: you may care for the dying, but you must also be ready to help kill them.

The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Nov. 3 in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. Colorado’s universal preschool program requires participating schools to agree to operate at odds with Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality. Parishes in the archdiocese of Denver could not agree to state requirements, so the state shut them out of the preschool program paying $6,000 per eligible child, along with the families who wanted their children taught there. Colorado says it has no problem with the preschools being Catholic, it just doesn’t want them to operate as if they are.

Catholicism is just one example of a religion whose exercise does not end at the sanctuary door. Catholics pray at Mass and live that prayer in the works of mercy: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, burying the dead, and instructing the ignorant. Faith asks to be lived coherently, in belief and in service to one another. Jews, Muslims, and Protestants would recognize the pattern in their own traditions. No one is free if he must split himself into a Sunday self and a Monday self, and no community is free that must do the same.

Nine major U.S. banks have been found to have debanked Americans for holding views not acceptable to the anti-American ideology of progressivism. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a report exposing the unconstitutional, and possibly criminal actions.

The nine banks listed were: BMO Bank, Capital One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, PNC Bank, TD Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. These debankings happened between 2010 and 2025, meaning they continued after Trump took office.

EXCERPT:

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) released a report after finding that the nine largest banks it supervises discriminated against conservatives, religious organizations and lawful businesses.

The report, released Wednesday, examined bank policies between 2020 and late 2025 that denied financial services based on political, religious or social views.

The OCC’s supervisory review was conducted in compliance with President Donald Trump’s executive order (EO), “Guaranteeing Fair Banking for All Americans,” which directs regulators to investigate whether banks have policies or practices that encourage politically or religiously motivated debanking — abruptly closing an account or cutting off financial services.

The nine banks found to have shown bias against certain customers are: Bank of America, BMO Bank, Capital One, Citibank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, PNC Bank, TD Bank, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank. Its investigation involved reviewing nearly 100,000 complaints to OCC-regulated institutions, as well as 50,000 documents consisting of approximately 420,000 pages about the banks’ policies, procedures, practices, and customer decisions.

“Today’s report provides irrefutable evidence that the nation’s largest banks have denied, debanked and discriminated against customers and lawful businesses,” said Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould. “Americans should have access to financial services regardless of their beliefs, affiliations, or political views. Fair access to financial services is not a mantra—it is a mandate. The Trump administration is committed to ending the weaponization of finance against hardworking Americans, once and for all.”

The progressive pit bull special prosecutor Jack Smith was spying on far more than the GOP leadership, including President Trump; he was also spying on over half a million Americans.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley claimed, “This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate. The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus.”

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith seized the personal information of at least 639,000 Republican voters, donors, and supporters as part of his Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump, according to newly reviewed federal whistleblower disclosures.

“This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate. The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Grassley revealed the bombshell discovery in a memo sent to his Senate Judiciary colleagues on Wednesday. In addition to recapping some of his staff’s findings on Smith’s intrusive inquiry thus far, the Iowa Republican noted that newly reviewed subpoenas issued by Smith’s team show how the special counsel’s lawfare was more expansive than originally thought.

According to Grassley, Smith’s team and the Biden Justice Department “obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum.” “Out of those,” the chairman wrote, “over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors.”

The type of data Smith and Co. acquired as a result of these spreadsheets was vast. Not only did they purportedly obtain these Republicans’ names, addresses, and dates of birth, but also their email addresses, occupations and employers, congressional and state legislative districts, and whether they’re officially registered as Republicans. Information on how much these Republicans donated, their credit card information (“including last four digits of credit card numbers”), and “donor analysis data (such as one-time versus recurring donations and the amount of the donation)” was also acquired.

A recent suggestion by Harvard that it should do more to get conservative professors hired was met with stiff resistance from progressive professors. Over 95% of Harvard’s professors are self-identifying progressives.

Progressive alumni joined in the resistance, with one alumnus claiming, “Even supposing that [silencing] takes place, how would the hiring of conservative faculty act as a countervailing force? Surely such hiring may inhibit viewpoint diversity rather than nurture it.”

(LifeSiteNews) – Leftists at Harvard University are pushing back against the institution’s efforts to hire conservative professors to increase viewpoint diversity among the faculty of the infamously left-wing school.

Back in April, the Harvard Crimson reported that the university has been soliciting donors for a $10 million endowment for dozens of new professorships to be filled by conservatives across various departments. The effort was said to be spearheaded by Harvard Provost John F. Manning, a conservative legal scholar.

Now, the Washington Times reports that the plan has been facing resistance from liberal professors and teachers, who comprise 69 percent of the faculty. Forty-seven percent faculty members said they were opposed to the plan and 31 percent supported it, according to a survey.

“The answer is not partisan quotas, but a credible commitment to intellectual openness and hiring excellent scholars across a genuinely broad range of perspectives,” claimed political scientist Daniel Schatz. 

“Even supposing that [silencing] takes place, how would the hiring of conservative faculty act as a countervailing force? Surely such hiring may inhibit viewpoint diversity rather than nurture it,” argued Harvard graduate Dominique Padurano, founder and president of college counseling company Crimson Coaching.

Anthropic has announced plans to implement a new governance policy for users of its AI agent, Claude. The change of policy would eventually block users from using Claude who are consistently “mean” to Claude.

So now it’s against the rules to be mean to Claude. Last week, chatbot-maker Anthropic quietly announced that it was prohibiting what the company called “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior toward our models.” This ban wouldn’t apply, the company stressed, toward normal outbursts of frustration directed at a tool known for feeding its users hallucinated bullshit, as all chatbots do from time to time. The rule would be enforced “only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose”; what’s more, company flacks said, the disciplinary action in most cases would only result in Claude shutting down the conversation, which is something Claude was already doing anyway. Why on earth someone might get their jollies from endlessly abusing their fake computer friend was not addressed.

In response to the Anthropic announcement, the Internet did what the Internet does. On X, investment guru Joseph Carlson declared that “Claude, like every AI, has zero moral agency. It doesn’t make decisions, it has no feelings, it’s not sentient. Being rude to Claude is like being rude to a chair, or a desk.… you do infinitely more damage to a sentient being stepping on an ant than you do being rude to AI.” On Bluesky, sociologist Tressie McMillan Cottom suggested that yelling at Claude was like “cussing out [a] tractor…. you don’t have to hand it to Anthropic because it’s weird to talk mean to its talking word toaster. It’s not real.”
