U.S. POLITICS

PROGRESSIVES CAUGHT PLOTTING OVERTHROW OF AMERICA – 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.

From the main source for the uncovered videos and documents, DataRepublican, “You’ve heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.

“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.”

BIDEN’S DOJ STALKED PARENTS OPPOSED TO WOKE SCHOOLS – Parents who dared speak out against progressive policies in American public schools were tracked and harassed by the FBI. If you dared go to a school board meeting and speak out against pro-transgender policies, or gay porn in school libraries, Biden’s FBI viewed you as a national security risk.

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated, “Under the Biden Administration, parents were the enemy. They were labeled as terrorists, targeted, and investigated by a government weaponized against them. That era is over. The Trump Administration is acting with unprecedented energy and purpose to restore parents’ natural rights as the primary protectors of their children.”

JACK SMITH WAS SPYING ON EVERYONE – A new document drop by the White House Government Transparency Task Force has revealed “special prosecutor” Jack Smith was spying on almost everyone in the Trump inner circle, including his lawyers. He did this by monitoring the phone of the President’s key administrative organizer and coordinator, Susie Wiles. She is currently President Trump’s Chief of Staff.

APPEALS COURT PROTECTS 20,000 NON-CITIZEN CALIFORNIA BALLOTS – A Federal Appeals court ruled 2-1 to deny the Department of Justice’s request to remove 20,000 non-citizen ballots from California’s voter rolls. The court passed on a technicality, claiming it had no power to act until a lower court had ruled. They also claimed, “The United States’s claimed emergency, at least in part, is a self-constructed one.”
CALIFORNIA TELLS THE FEDS A FEW ILLEGAL VOTES ARE NO BIG DEAL – California’s progressive governor Gavin Newsom recently condoned a few non-citizen votes for the sake of not fully checking their voting rolls as the Department of Justice has requested. After the DOJ caught 28 illegal aliens registered to vote and planning to vote, Newsom’s government responded with indifference to the news.

Newsom claimed, “Yes, non-citizen voter registration and voting does happen in isolated instances — in California and the rest of the country alike — but it is so rare that the Trump admin is parading around town about .0001% of California voters. If the feds were serious about this, they would have done this long ago — not in the middle of people voting, which inherently and needlessly sows distrust and doubt in our democracy.”

ARE THE POLLS RIGGED? – Another polling company has confessed to creating fake polls. Wedgwood Polls confessed it created fake polls to show Democrats ahead as part of a social experiment. They claimed, “Our fabricated numbers were given instant credibility across platforms and cited on air and reporting.”

WORLD

NETANYAHU CRIES FOUL AS ELECTION LEAVES NO FINAL WINNER – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to win a majority needed to form a government after the Israeli election, but so did his opponent. Netanyahu beat his opponent 21.4% to 16.2%. Netanyahu is claiming Islamist factions have infiltrated the election process, robbing his coalition of their “rightful” victory.

Golan posted on X, “We must no longer accept Netanyahu’s racist division between Jewish votes and Arab votes. We have a responsibility. And we have an opportunity to form a government of change in partnership with Israel’s Arab citizens.” Netanyahu responded, “We must not endanger Israel and establish a government that relies on anti-Zionist Arab parties.”

BOLSONARO LOSES IN “QUESTIONABLE” ELECTION – The Chinese won Brazil’s Presidential election when their candidate, Lula da Silva, won re-election for the third time. He defeated the American candidate, Senator Flavio Bolsanaro, the son of the former President, Jair Messias Bolsanaro. Lula lost in the first round of votes but came back in the run-off to defeat Bolsonaro by a 51-48-point margin.

The controversy with the election began when a Lula-supporting activist judge decided to extend the closing hour of the polls by 2 hours. It is believed this is where Lula “manufactured” the votes he needed to hold on to power. The win by Lula assures China will continue to have a strong presence in South America. It also means Brazilians will face draconian social media censorship laws.

AFTER IRAN REJECTS PEACE TALK OFFER, U.S. THREATENS STRIKES – Vice President JD Vance’s letter to the Iranians offering another round of peace talks was summarily rejected by the Iranian regime. As a result, the U.S. is threatening to resume air strikes against the Islamic Republic. Iran has countered that it would consider peace talks, but only if brokered by Pakistan.

The U.S. has reached out to its Gulf State allies and informed them there may soon be an “intense” war with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz is not completely opened, and Iran has been able to score hits on tankers still. President Trump once again claimed the war will be over soon, but hinted at a last intense stage.

SERBIA FALLS TO A STUDENT REVOLUTION – Candidates in support of the “Student List” won the majority of seats in Serbia’s election, overthrowing the long-standing power of pro-Russian and Pro-Chinese Prime Minister Aleksander Vucic. The Student List won 52.7% of the vote and 140 of the 250 Parliament seats. The incumbent party, the Serbian Progressive Party, has been in power since 2012.
FRANCE ISLAMIST-PROGRESSIVE RIOTS CONTINUE – Under the guise of “education reform,” which is mostly demanding more resources and creating policies aligned with the Progressive-Islamist alliance, riots across France in most major cities continue unabated. So far, more than 5,000 people have been arrested.
IN WAKE OF MASS “MIGRANT INVASION,” SPAIN’S PM FORCED TO CALL SNAP ELECTIONS – Spaniards are joining the growing national protests against their country’s policies of open borders and the state’s attempt to destroy their national identity. The pressure is mounting on the regime in power, the progressives. They rule under their current Prime Minister, Pedro Sanchez, who rules 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.

ALBERTA CHOOSES SOVIET CANADA – 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.
BURNHAM BLAMES RUSSIA FOR BREXIT – UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham has telegraphed his next major move, setting up an election with Brexit on the chopping block. He is leading an international effort to paint Britain’s choice to leave the EU as a Russian-manipulated outcome, justifying a revisiting of the question. He accused Russia of meddling not only with the 2026 vote, but with other European elections as well.
HAMAS SUPPORTERS MARCH ON OCTOBER 7 – Hamas supporters in London decided to march on the 3^rd anniversary of the October 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis by the organization they are marching for. The march was not seen as racist by British police, despite it clearly sending a message to the Jews that they’re still next. It is an embrace of the slaughter of the Jewish race, nothing more.
WOMEN IN INDIA STERILIZED TO WORK SUGARCANE FIELDS – 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.”

CHINA

CCP AGENT CAUGHT SPYING ON TAIWANESE AMERICANS – The DOJ has arrested Wanying “Heather” Zeng, 34, under charges she was spying on Taiwanese Americans for the Chinese government. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg declared, “The central allegation here – that Zhang, at the behest of the People’s Republic of China, covertly surveilled relatives of a high-ranking foreign government official in the United States – is deeply troubling…”

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli added, “Ms. Zhang is charged with acting at the direction of Chinese government officials to spy on the family of a senior Taiwanese official here in the United States. She violated our laws and will be held accountable in our courts. We will aggressively investigate and prosecute illegal foreign operations on American soil.”

CHINA LOSES TRILLIONS AS FAITH IN AI FALTERS – The Chinese STAR 50 Index has lost trillions of dollars in value in recent months thanks mostly to lost faith in AI. The total value of AI stocks accounts for 40% of the market. The AI machines being built aren’t making money off their domestic market, a problem the U.S. might be facing soon as well.
CHINA WINS IN U.S. COURT – A Federal judge has decided the Pentagon does not have a right to block firms from having defense contracts that lobby for Alibaba. The company rewarded in the ruling is a CCP-controlled and supporting enterprise. This ruling allows the CCP to continue to infiltrate American military procurement infrastructures. They can effectively even “lobby” congress to make it happen.
CHINA ENTERS LAOS – China has sent a military convoy into the border nation of Laos, which is raising concerns of Laotians who have bad memories of colonization from world powers. The military is being moved into a permanent “Training Center,” which is raising even more red flags among the local population.
CHINA ADDS AIR BASE TO “TRAINING” IN LAOS – China has extended its presence in Laos following reports it had set up a training camp inside the country. Now, China appears to have built an air base within Laos as well. Satellite imagery showed Chinese military aircraft leaving from and landing in the region identified as the new air base. Beijing has now claimed the base is to train Laotian pilots to fly Chinese fighters.

CULTURE

LEFTIST NEWS AGGREGATORS DOMINATE U.S. NEWS – 58% of Americans are getting their “news” from far-left news aggregators that block non-progressive media from being seen. These four far-left news aggregators are run by progressive-controlled corporations aligned with the Democratic Party. The four aggregators are Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News, and Microsoft’s MSM.
SHARIA GAINING FAVOR AMONG AMERICAN YOUTH – Thanks in large part to great efforts by progressive-controlled government schools promoting Islam and excoriating Christianity, a new poll reveals 4 in 10 young Americans have a favorable view of Sharia, Islamic Law.

The poll indicts the public education system, which has fallen to insurrectionist progressives. These “teachers” are more aligned with Chairman Mao and Osama Bin Laden than they are with George Washington and Jesus Christ.

3. AMERICAN UNDERGRADS BECOMING VIOLENT PROGRESSIVES – A new poll from the Buckley Institute claims 45% of American undergrads support violence against “hate speech.” 30% of self-identifying “conservative” undergrads agreed. 22% of undergrads believe America deserved 9/1. Among those who support violence against “hate speech,” 72% say “hate speech” is a constitutionally protected form of free speech.

4. SOMALI TEEN PLOTTED MASS MURDER IN MALL OF AMERICA – The FBI caught another wanna-be terrorist before they could act by first seemingly enabling their actions. Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud, an 18-year-old Somali American, was arrested and accused of plotting to kill Americans in the Mall of America. He was going to use an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammo. The teen purchased the inert AK-47, and the ammo, from the FBI. This is how the arrest was made.

The DOJ released a statement that, in part, exclaimed, “The FBI rendered the AK-47 rifle inert prior to the transaction. During the sale of the firearm and ammunition, Mohamud reaffirmed his plan to use the firearm and ammunition to shoot people at the Mall of America”

5. CHILD GENDER “THERAPISTS” CONTINUE SHUT-DOWN OPERATIONS UNDER NEW NAMES – When child transgender therapists and operations are shut down from organizations relying on Federal tax dollars, they turn to independent trans zealots to both fund and protect them. The Trump administration is working on identifying shut down operations and following them when they go “independent.”

6. HARVARD PROFESSORS AND ALUMNI ARE AGAINST HIRING CONSERVATIVES – 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.” We will leave that statement represent the mind of the progressive in all its incongruity with reality.

7. UK SUPPORTS GLOBAL HATE SPEECH CRACKDOWN – The UK is coming out in support of a UN resolution demanding worldwide action to prevent hate speech. The Burnham administration declared, “… we, the UK, thank the African Group for bringing forward this resolution and pay particular tribute to South Africa for their principled leadership in keeping the fight against racism high on the international agenda.”

8. WOMAN ALMOST SUICIDED BY CANADA FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO COOK – A woman who was depressed because she felt she could no longer cook for her family was approved for suicide by Canadian doctors. Fortunately, she was talked out of it, but not by the doctors, who may have wanted to profit from her organs.

Canada’s embrace of euthanasia, which was supposed to be a measure of last resort for the truly terminally and pain-ridden ill, has led it to expand the reasons people can apply for state-assisted suicide. We can add to that growing list not being able to cook for your family. Now, even euthanasia supporters are raising the alarm on Canada’s seemingly careless reliance on suicide to cure its social and economic woes.

9. SUPPORT FOR CRIMINALIZING OFFENSIVE SPEECH SPIKES – Four in 10 U.S. students support criminal prosecution of “offensive speech,” which is up 7 points from last year. The survey came from the Buckley Institute. At the same time, 73% of students agreed the Constitution is an important document for the U.S., not an outdated one.

10. IDAHO PROPOSITION WOULD ALLOW MINORS TO CONSENT TO ABORTION – Despite what the ACLU has been saying about Idaho’s Proposition 1, critics counter that it does, in fact, allow minor children to consent to abortions without parental notice. The proposition, if passed, would remove limits on abortion and effectively allow children to have abortions without parental consent.

11. BELGIUM’S EUTHANASIA EXPLODES – Over 1,100 people have been euthanized by Belgian authorities for ailments that are not immediately terminal. In 2025, euthanasia deaths jumped 12.4% from last year. They accounted for 4% of all national deaths.

MARKET

NINE U.S. BANKS DEBANKED DISSENTERS OF THE PROGRESSIVE ORTHODOXY – 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.

AI DEBT LOOMING THREAT ON WORLD ECONOMY – The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has issued a warning to global markets about the looming debt in the AI industry. It claims all the major American tech companies are saddled with AI investment bills not met with AI-producing revenues.
META GETS $25 BILLION BILL OVER 2016 ELECTION – A New Mexico court is ordering Meta to pay $25 billion in a civil lawsuit for allowing Cambridge Analytica access to user data during the 2016 election. The company was working for the Trump campaign. It used that information to help the Trump campaign more effectively target potential voters.

SCI-TECH

U.S. AXES DEEPSEEK, CHINA THREATENS COUNTERACTION – 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 in the U.S. Federal Register.
GOP HANDS AI GOVERNANCE OVER TO CALIFORNIA – Because the Republican-controlled national legislature failed to pass a measure to block them, California is set to be the definer of AI standards. Now, Anthropic is using California’s AI standards to push a national bill forward that could allow their AI agents to work without government intervention unless the high threshold of 50 lives in danger is met.
ANTHROPIC WANTS TO MERGE WITH THE PRESIDENT – Anthropic has launched a “presidential engagement” project in preparation for the 2028 Presidential election. They plan on engaging with major U.S. presidential candidates on AI policy to determine their political strategy. From this, their political funding strategy would follow. It’s a transparent “buy influence” program being advertised in advance ahead of the 2028 elections. It is projected Anthropic will be a $2 trillion plus venture. With no limits on campaign finance, this will make Anthropic an instant President maker.
ANTHROPIC ANNOUNCES RESTRICTIONS ON BEING MEAN TO ITS AI AGENT, CLAUDE – 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.

They claim the rule will be enforced selectively, “only in extreme cases, where users repeatedly act cruelly toward our models, with no discernible purpose.”

PEOPLE ADVANCE

SOCIAL SECURITY TO GET RECORD CLEANUP AFFECTING 50 MILLION RECORDS – 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 is intended to dramatically reduce fraud. This is the largest cleanup operation in the history of the SSA.
NO HEARINGS FOR ILLEGALS – The 5^th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 10-7 to continue to allow the Federal government to detain illegal aliens without a hearing. The ruling makes it easier to deport illegal aliens, whose deportations are often delayed by lengthy hearing-delay tactics from progressive activist “lawyers.”
OREGON SCHOOL SHOOTING STOPPED BY AMERICAN GUN OWNER – A shooting at an Oregon high school left three children, aged five, eight, and 1l, along with one teacher, dead. The shooter has been identified as John J. Griffin III. The shooter was stopped by a parent with a concealed carry license, saving many lives, but tragically not all lives.
TRUMP TARGETS MAJOR U.S. CORPORATIONS IN FOREIGN VISA CRACKDOWN – Vice President JD Vance announced the Trump administration’s new restrictions on the H-1B Visa program. These new restrictions effectively end U.S. corporate reliance on “cheap foreign labor” for high-level positions, which effectively freeze Americans out of higher potential seats of power.
SCOTUS AFFIRMS TRUMP’S RIGHT TO FIRE FEDERAL EMPLOYEES – A challenge to President Trump firing of a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member was dismissed by the Supreme Court. Gwynne Wilcox, a progressive, was fired by President Trump. She sued to get her job back.
EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RUNS OUT OF PATIENCE WITH ISLAM – The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning the Muslim Brotherhood and calling on action to be taken against Islamists in Europe. French European Parliament member Céline Imart said of the passage, “This is a historic victory because it is a European first.”
CNN FALLS TO MAGA? – The merger deal between Paramount and Warner Brothers has now officially gone through, meaning a Trump-supporting family, the Ellisons, OFFICIALLY hold the reins of power of CNN, the progressive state cable news flagship.

The current head of CNN, Mark Thompson, said of the merger, “First, I’m convinced that from David Ellison on down, Paramount Skydance leadership really does believe in news alongside entertainment as a top strategic opportunity for our new company… And second, having now spoken to them at length of the topic, I have real confidence that they both understand and will fully support the principle and practice of the kind of independent news that CNN has always stood for.”

ICE UNMASKING STRUCK DOWN BY 9^TH – An effort by progressive California to unmask ICE agents in an effort to help their street fighters locate and terrorize (or worse) ICE agents has been struck down by the 9^th Circuit Court of Appeals.

From the summary of the ruling, “In sum, if a state law directly regulates the governmental conduct of the United States without congressional authorization, it is void irrespective of whether the regulated activities are essential to federal functions or operations, and irrespective of the degree to which the state law interferes with such functions or operations.”

CHRISTIAN-ONLY FRANCHISE CONSTITUTIONAL, COURT RULES – The 5^th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled a Christian-only auto repair franchise is not a constitutional violation. The company, Christian Brothers Automotive, only allows self-professing Christians to be franchise owners. There are 300 franchises nationwide.
GREENLAND GOLD COMING AMERICA’S WAY – President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social, “Massive Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration is getting ready to begin in our new and beautiful Greenland! There are Experts that are saying that the amount of easily available Oil is far greater than that of almost any land, anywhere in the World and, even more importantly, from a Security Purpose in the Defense and Offense of both the United States of America, and Europe, is second to none. Any future attack on the United States will have to come across Greenland, where our Defense will routinely knock down drones, missiles, or any other form of weapon not yet even conceived. It gives us time, location, and sightline, like nowhere else in the World!”
AS FOREIGN APPLICATIONS DRY UP, UNIVERSITIES LOWER TUITION FOR AMERICANS – After a dramatic reduction in foreign customers for U.S. universities, the consequence for Americans is lower tuition. Universities needing American customers are now lowering their tuition prices to get them. Several private schools struggling to exist are now lowering their tuition by 40-50% to win back American customers.
PASTOR FREED AFTER BEING ARRESTED FOR HAVING 24/7 CHURCH – An Ohio Pastor has seen his conviction for opening his church 24/7 overturned by the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals. The defendant, Pastor Chris Avell, faced “fire code charges” and jail time for keeping his church open 24/7.

His counsel, Ryan Gardner, said of the ruling, “Pastor Chris has the constitutional right to operate his church free from the government imposing draconian fire code regulations. We hope that this latest ruling will put an end to the years-long legal battle that Pastor Chris has endured. We are grateful to all the work of our co-counsels in this case.”

DOJ TO LET SUPPRESSOR RULING STAND – The Department of Justice has informed congress it will not be appealing a lower court decision that struck down federal regulations on firearms suppressors. The ruling only applies to the states in the jurisdiction of the court.

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
THUNE LETS SAVE ACT DIE – The SAVE Act, aka the SAVE America Act, came closer to not being passed before the summer recess thanks to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The last attempt failed to pass by a vote of 48-50.

It now appears increasingly likely that mass mailer elections will continue at least until 2026, giving Democrats a decided advantage. For the progressive state press, this defeat of Voter ID legislation was celebrated. ED. NOTE: That assumption is now certain, that the mass mailer election will take place with little to no safeguards in place to give Americans confidence in the midterm elections.

TRUMP IDENTIFIES FOREIGN VULNERABILITIES TO U.S. ELECTIONS – President Donald Trump delivered a Prime Time Speech that failed to deliver rumored smoking guns, but hinted at ones to come. In addition to calling for a DOJ investigation of alleged voter fraud in Michigan in 2020, the President also identified vulnerabilities in the election system that puts it at risk of foreign influence, including from China. He also claims China affected the 2020 election. China has already denied the claims.

The speech’s main moment came with Trump’s claim that a set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.”

TRUMP, AI TECH LEADERS PROMISE TO BE RESPONSIBLE – President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.

The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”

BIDEN’S FBI KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO FAMILY CORRUPTION – The FBI under President Biden ran a covert operation designed to neutralize any effort to investigate allegations of corruption by the Biden family. The operation was called “Rounded River.” The Trump White House Transparency Task Force released their findings this past month.
PROGRESSIVES RAN GLOBAL POLICY ILLEGALLY DURING TRUMP’S FIRST TERM – Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.

Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”

AMERICA LEAVES IRAQ – The last of any U.S. military overt presence in Iraq left the country this week, leaving Iran’s proxy militias an opportunity to gain influence. In addition to fears of Iran’s rise in influence, ISIS continues to remain present, capable of making another run at a caliphate.
IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government. ED. NOTE: See more on the Iran War in our Situation Report starting on pg. 2.

SCOTUS GIVES DEMS MISSOURI GERRYMANDERING WIN – The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.

The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling. A lower court ruling that gave the GOP the 2025 election map was struck down by SCOTUS by a 6-3 decision, cementing the Dems’ preservation of a presumed safe Democrat seat.

TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
HAWAII INVALIDATES AMERICA’S SCOTUS – The Hawaiian Supreme Court has issued a recent ruling that spent tens of pages excoriating the Supreme Court of the United States. The majority held the Supreme Court was no longer valid because it overturned Roe, the 1973 ruling that decriminalized murdering unborn children.

The majority also held that due to the white supremacist nature of SCOTUS, Hawaii is no longer bound by its rulings. There have been no arrested issued by the Department of Justice.

CCP RUNNING OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN 83 U.S. COLLEGES – The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.

The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

XI’S PURGES CONTINUE – Another heavyweight CCP member found himself purged from power by Chairman Xi. Former Politburo member Ma Xingrui was the latest high-profile leader removed under Xi’s anti-corruption operation. The move shows Xi has still not consolidated power after last year’s attempted coup from within.
14. EU’S AI ACT KICKS IN – The EU’s new AI Act has taken effect, which includes key provisions empowering the EU to regulate AI models and apply fines to companies that fall out of compliance. The law also gives the EU investigatory powers to penalize non-cooperating companies and individuals.

The Act itself presents a challenge to AI geopolitical realities of power as nations and associations like the EU attempt to use domestic laws to affect foreign AI powers. For instance, the fines countries give to foreign companies due to non-compliance with their AI rules could become weapons of war in the AI geopolitical reality of power.

IN SHADOW OF POLITICAL MURDER OF FORMER MP, BURNHAM TAKES THE UK HELM – On Monday, July 20, 2026, Andy Burnham inherited the UK as its new Prime Minister. He was appointed by the Labour Party through unanimous consent after winning a special MP election in Makerfield.

He inherits a divided Kingdom, having just witnessed a political murder of a former MP, Anne Widdecombe, in her home. Widdecombe is reported to have been beaten to death by a progressive activist. He drove three hours to her home to do it. He used a poled object to kill her.

HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

META SECURES A $16.7 BILLION CHILD ADDICTION SETTLEMENT – A Federal lawsuit against social media giant Meta has been settled. Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion in an agreement with multiple states Attorney Generals. California is one of the states, but Texas and other large states are not. The lawsuit charged Meta with facilitating childhood social media addiction.

California State AG Rob Bonta said of the settlement, “Today, we have secured a settlement with Meta that will make social media less dangerous for our kids and make a world of a difference for children and their families,” Bonta said in a statement. “Meta has agreed to make massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms — and will do it within months.”

SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
SISTER TAKES PLACE OF FALLEN LINDSEY GRAHAM – Not long after Lindsey Graham had spoken to President Trump, he had a sudden medical emergency he would not recover from. It was later learned he had a heart attack due to a ruptured aorta. His sister, Darline Graham, was appointed by the Republican South Carolina Governor to finish his term.

She said of her acceptance of the appointment. “It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.” She added she was sure he would have wanted her to finish his term.

NOTE: Graham has also won her primary, meaning she will be running for election in the 2026 Midterm election.

21, PROGRESSIVE STATE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FORMED CONFIDENTIAL GROUP TO PLOT JUDGEFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP PRESIDENCY – Democrat State Attorneys from across the country were coordinating their efforts to plot legal entanglements for President Trump before the 2024 election, while Biden was still running against Trump.

The group was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was a secret society of progressive DAs who wanted to go outside the bounds of government accountability record-keeping to plot their intentions to sabotage the Trump Presidency. What hasn’t been revealed is whether progressive judges were in that group. All signs point to “yes.”

WALZ PARDONS CHILD RAPIST – In what appears to be a move to save an illegal alien from deportation, Tim Walz pardoned an illegal alien convicted of raping a child. He was joined on a three-member panel by Democrats Keith Ellison and Natalie Hudson. Ellison is Minnesota’s Attorney General. Hudson is the state’s Chief Justice.

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded to the decision, claiming “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.” Marco Rubio has intervened and the illegal immigrant has been deported.

PROTESTS GROW IN UKRAINE OVER ZELENSKY’S MILITARY FIRINGS – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has chosen Major General Ihor Skybyuk to become the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Force. The move follows numerous shake-ups in military leadership that are leading to street protests from Ukrainians.

Zelensky said of the appointment, “We determined the order of further steps. Today, decisions regarding the replacement of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be formalized — the relevant decrees are being prepared. Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara, we determined that the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be Major General Ihor Skybyuk — a very experienced military officer, with whom the new commander-in-chief defended Ukraine side by side.”

MAMDANI RELEASES EVIL CAPITALIST “PROSCRIPTION” LIST – The Marxist-Islamist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has just released what appears to be a de facto proscription list for his foreign-paid street fighters to target. He released a list of property owners, including their names and addresses, who own another home outside the city.

While the information is public, the signal is clear; Attack these people. Mamdani ally and national Democrat Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer made that clear when she said on Fox News “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.” Disturbance is a dog whistle for violence. Ruling Class is a dog whistle for white people.

30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
TRUMP REDEPLOYS TARIFF GEOPOLITICS – President Donald Trump appears prepared to utilize tariffs as a geopolitical tool once again. He announced a 50% tariff on Canada that came without warning. He followed up this announcement with more tariffs targeting multiple nations he accuses of practicing “forced labor.” This could indicate the administration believes it has a legal path to apply tariffs that don’t conflict with SCOTUS’ recent ruling on tariffs.
CANADA-US TRADE WAR IS ON – After President Trump announced new tariffs targeting Canada, Mark Carney’s administration has responded by meeting Trump’s tariffs with similar ones of his own. U.S. progressive state media has reported on the trade war decidedly from a pro-Canadian perspective.

During the trade war, Alberta continues to go forward with a referendum to secede from Canada. Canada’s progressive state press have now taken to refuse to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist act, telegraphing open hostility to America.

CLANCY DEFENSE WANTED TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial faced a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington was hoping Judge William Sullivan would examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge denied the unusual filing This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

APOCALYPTIC FLASH FLOOD DEVASTATES TIBET AND NEPAL – Major flash floods from a glacial collapse devastated parts of Tibet and Nepal, with Nepal being the hardest hit. The flash floods removed whole villages, hitting them with 30-plus-foot high walls. The alleged current death toll stands at over 1,000, with nearly 4,000 still reported missing as of the end of September 2026.

The true death toll may be much higher. There were scores of foreigners among the dead, including 60-plus Americans. They were there to make Hindu pilgrimages.

DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

HEADLINES MISSED

DHS FINDS CHINESE PARTS IN U.S. VOTING MACHINES – Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.

The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

AI IS GOING INTO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT – A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment liabilities for operations not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.
EU WANTS AI TO ENFORCE ITS WOKE CENSORSHIP LAWS – The EU is ordering AI agents like ChatGPT to enforce its recently enacted (and now in-effect) Online Censorship laws. These laws protect favored classes like Muslims, homosexuals, and people of color from “offensive” language. They also penalize positive expressions of unfavored classes like Christians, heterosexuals, and whites.
PAYING FOR TRUMP’S TRUTH? – President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders, only. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.

The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, as is the legality. The question is this: Is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is Presidential power to move markets, not Trump’s wisdom. The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, “Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets.”

FRANCE UNDER IMMIGRANT ASSAULT – Multiple riots have broken 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.
6. CHINA OFICIALLY BECOMES AN ETHNO-NATIONALIST STATE – China’s Ethnic Unity Law took effect July 1, 2026. The law appears to attempt to advance Han ethnic supremacism both within China and globally. Global concerns about the law’s effects on ethnic minorities within China were met by claims from CCP officials that the law was meant to “protect them.”
CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH THE CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report that their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveals the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing disfavor about their religion was more painful to them than the pain their religion caused on Americans by murdering thousands of our brothers and sisters.
CHINESE BILLIONAIRE IS MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil; these children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

SOUTH KOREANS GO NORTH WITH FAKE NEWS LAW – South Korea has passed a new law that penalizes journalists for sharing “fake news.” The Journalists Association of Korea said of the law, “Even if a law’s objective is legitimate, it could erode the foundations of democracy if it’s enforced in a way that discourages the media and ordinary citizens from freely criticizing and scrutinizing those in power.”

This is yet another lurch towards policies more in keeping with North Korea than what South Korea has been after the Korean War.

AI IS NOW CREATING NEW VIRUSES – Researchers at Stanford University were using AI to study pathogens of existing viruses. In the process, they trained AI perhaps too well, for now AI can design viruses. The researchers claim the AI was only intended to be used as “virus surveillance,” but somehow, they went beyond that point. The AI designed 16 new viruses.
CCP HACKERS BREAK INTO MAJOR U.S. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS – The Department of Justice announced the disruption of a Chinese Communist Party hacking operation that had successfully accessed government networks. Some institutions breached include the Senate, the DOJ, NASA, and the Federal Reserve.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks… Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking – and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.”

PRO ABORTION STATES FALL BELOW REPLACEMENT RATES – The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.
GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
U.S. PROPS YEN WITH EUROS – The Department of Treasury used its Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Japanese Yen in the hopes of propping up the dangerously weak currency. This hasn’t happened in 30 years. The U.S. is not using U.S. dollars; it is using Euros.

This action follows a recent previous Treasury intervention to help a weakening Argentinian currency. That deal resulted in the loan being paid back in full (at profit). These interventions signal a shift in Treasury policy from two plus decades of international currency passivity to aggressive interventionism.

ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

CANADA’S NEW HATE SPEECH LAW IS ALREADY TRIGGERING POLICE VISITS – The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is reporting numerous Canadians have already been contacted by police about their social media posts in response to the new “Combatting Hate Act” becoming law. Currently, the UK is number one in social media arrests worldwide, which is worth noting because Canada’s anti-speech laws are similar to the UK’s anti-speech laws.
FCC LIFTS LIMITS ON LOCAL TV STATION OWNERSHIP – The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-1 to lift FCC restrictions on local tv station ownership. The ruling will allow companies to own local stations that cover more than 39% of the U.S. They can now also own more than one tv station in a local market.
PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

SCIENTISTS CALL FOR A 50% REDUCTION OF HUMANITY – A group of scientists released a public statement calling for humans to reduce their numbers by 4 billion by the year 2200.

They wrote, “We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to ∼4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability. Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems.”

THAILAND UNDER ISLAMIST ATTACK IN THE SOUTH – Thailand’s Prime Minister held an emergency meeting after a coordinated series of attacks by Islamist terrorists in the nation’s southern-most province. The attacks come at a time when Thailand is still dealing with a major flood crisis in the north. There were 51 reported attacks that included bombings, arson, and property damage. No security or police forces were targeted. The attacks appear to be aimed at damaging infrastructure and causing disruption.
VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”
SCIENTISTS SHOW HUMAN SPERM COULD BE GROWN IN A LAB – The growing human male infertility rate could be offset by growing human sperm in a laboratory’s mini-testes. A group of scientists published a report in the peer-reviewed journal “Cell Stem Cell” claiming to show they are close to growing human sperm in a lab. Researchers are hoping to convert stem cells to sperm cells by exposing them to chemical signals that will do the transforming.

From the report, “… the researchers combined the human or monkey germ cells with supportive cells from mouse fetuses. Together, these cells self-organized into a three-dimensional structure called a xenogeneic reconstituted testis… What grew in this setup closely resembled both the appearance and gene activity patterns of real human germ cells during the early stages of sperm development.”

SURROGATE SUED BY GAY COUPLE FOR KEEPING BABY – An unborn child with a cleft lip faced abortion in Canada if a gay couple had their way. The child was living in the womb of a surrogate mother, who refused to abort the child despite the gay couple’s demands. The lawsuit was filed in Ontario, Canada’s Superior Court. The woman gave birth to the child; now the gay couple is seeking monetary compensation after failing to compel her to murder the unborn child.

The gay couple wrote the surrogate mother, “Considering that medical tests indicate that the fetus has, or is likely to have, a genetic, chromosomal or other abnormality or defect, and in accordance with article 8.5 (a) of our surrogacy agreement … we want to inform you of our wish that the pregnancy be terminated. Although very difficult, this decision is free and informed.” The child was born healthy.

PEOPLE ADVANCE

TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
TRUMP NO-SIGNS DIGITAL DOLLAR BAN – Thanks to President Donald Trump’s non-signature, America is under a state digital dollar ban at least until 2030. The 21^st Century ROAD to Housing Act was allowed to become law simply through the President’s non-signing. Within that law is a provision that prohibits the U.S. from developing a U.S. digital dollar at least until 2030.
ISLAMIST IMMIGRATION DOWN 96% SINCE 2024 – The number of immigrants coming from Islamist nations has plummeted under President Donald Trump’s watch. Immigration from Islamist nations has dropped 96% since the President took office.
GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
TRUMP DOUBLES U.S. OIL RESERVE WITH ONE DEAL – President Trump has announced an historic deal with Venezuela that secures 65 million barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves, which more than doubles the U.S. oil reserves.

The President posted on Truth Social, “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!… This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity”

EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.

The progressive state press has left out the fraudulent claim behind those 750,000 being removed from the rolls. Instead, they simply call the removal of fraudulent accounts “healthcare cuts,” implying qualified American citizens are being removed from the rolls. This false narrative is EXACTLY the same one as the Democratic Party.

110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.

The progressive state press has portrayed this as a deprivation for American universities. The counter to that claim is that universities primarily serving foreign interests are NOT American ones, regardless of their physical location. This is the exact narrative the Democratic Party advances.

JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment. It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

LE PEN STILL CONVICTED, BUT CAN RUN IN 2027 – Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Rally Party, had her embezzlement conviction upheld. However, her eligibility to run for public office has been reduced in time for her to run in the expected 2027 election.

Her party currently leads in the polls. Le Pen must face house arrest, an ankle monitor, and curfews, to run for Prime Minister. She had previously claimed she would not run under those conditions. Now, it appears she has changed her mind. Since the announcement, her party has increased their lead in the polls.

FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
ISLAMIST PLANE ATTACK FOILED BY BRAVE ISRAELIS – An Islamist attempted to hijack a plane and crash it into an Israeli airport, hoping to kill as many Jews as he could. He was the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight. He stabbed his co-pilot multiple times but was detained by Israeli passengers while the plane was still in a nose-dive.

The media reported this as a dispute between the two pilots, protecting the “Islam is the religion of peace” narrative. It has since come out that he was, indeed, an Islamist engaged in an act of terror against Israel and Jews in general.

TRUMP PLAN LEADS TO HISTORIC RX PRICE DROP – President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down the cost of prescription drugs have led to an historic drop in drugs that hasn’t been seen in over 60 years. The cost of prescription drugs dropped 3.1% in 12 months, starting from this past July.

White House Spokesman Kush Desai stated, “No president in modern history has been able to drastically reduce prescription drug prices across the board except for President Trump. This is a direct result of the President’s willingness to push the envelope with bold policies that actually put Americans and America First.”

SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.
THANKS TO TRUMP, MARINE COMES HOME FROM RUSSIA – After spending more than four years in a Russian prison, U.S. Marine Robert Gilman has been released. His release came thanks to negotiations between the Trump administration and the Putin regime. While the Biden administration negotiated a deal to release WNBA player Britney Griner from a Russian prison, they made no effort to negotiate the release of this same U.S. Marine.
DNA SALVATION FOR DATA CENTERS – A research team from Penn State has claimed they’ve developed a way to use DNA as memory storage. This memory storage would use 100x less energy than current memory storage uses. This could significantly reduce the resource demand on AI Data centers. The findings were published in Advanced Publishing Materials.

One of the researchers, Kavya S. Keremane, stated “Biology and electronics are different domains. Bridging these two fields required developing an entirely new materials platform that allows them to function seamlessly together. By combining the information storage capabilities of DNA with the exceptional electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors, we created a bio-hybrid system that fundamentally changes how low-power memory devices can be designed.”

CALIFORNIA LOSES NATIONAL CAR PART CONTROL – A new rule change from the EPA effectively ends California’s stranglehold on the car parts industry. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced “Americans should not be forced to solely rely on California to certify aftermarket products. Starting today, Americans can trust that products certified by SEMA meet federal requirements and can be used to repair vehicles.

“The Tampering Policy explains how a person may demonstrate that an aftermarket product does not adversely affect automotive emissions by documenting that an appropriate vehicle equipped with the product will pass the same emissions tests used by the original equipment manufacturer to certify the vehicle under the Clean Air Act.”

TOP NEWS TAGS

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government.

TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
CLANCY DEFENSE WANTS TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial is now facing a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington is hoping Judge William Sullivan will examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge has yet to rule on the unusual filing. This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

HOUTHIS OPEN RED SEA FRONT, TRUMP NEGOTIATES – The Houthis have been taking islands, ports, and Red Sea coast territory in a bid to rescue Iran from U.S. onslaught. The new territory enables them to attack vessels traversing the Red Sea (which they’ve already done). The Saudis have responded by forming an army to remove them. President Trump is in talks with the Houthis, and the Saudis have called for a two-week ceasefire.
DATA CENTERS, NOT AMERICAN RULE OF LAW, CENTER OF MIDTERMS – The central issue in a majority of contested U.S. House and Senate Races is becoming Data Centers. At a time when one party, the Democratic Party, is looking to convert America to the Progressive State, Americans are more concerned over data centers than losing their constitutional rights.

Republicans find themselves on the losing end of this issue with one candidate, Senator John Husted of Ohio, reflecting the new Republican strategy, join the fight against the data centers. He said “They’ve earned that backlash. They haven’t been as forthcoming about the benefits that will come in terms of local jobs and construction worker jobs and reduced property taxes, and they haven’t offered things like paying the energy bills for local communities, for the power plants they build.”

ANTHROPIC WANTS PROGRESSIVE EXTREMISTS TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF AI – Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has picked a panel of far-left, “woke” extremists to “protect” us from the evil AI apocalypse the progressive state media has been pushing. The “board” consists of children of wealthy progressives.

The guiding principle of the group is “Effective Altruism,” which requires a finite definition of value anti-progressives are sure to be existentially threatened by. For instance, this will place abortion in this hierarchy of value as a highly desired altruistic outcome and opposition to abortion will be placed in its hierarchy of value as being anathema to altruism, and thus a criminal activity.

FED RAISES RATES – The Federal Reserve rose interest rates for the first time in six years, citing concerns over the inflation rate continuing to exceed 2%. The board voted unanimously to raise rates and signaled more rate increases were coming. President Trump pushed back against the decision, but stopped short of criticizing the Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh. President Trump nominated Warsh for the position he now holds.
CANADA COURTS THE EU – After the European Union floated the idea of Canada becoming an “associate” member of their Union, Canada’s PM Mark Carney enthusiastically embraced the idea. This followed Carney’s exposed secret collusion with the Chinese military, making Canada a potential base of operation for her current enemy, China, and her fast-becoming future enemy, Europe. Canada is becoming a security risk for the United States.
ISRAEL DEMANDS UK HAND OVER FALKLANDS – After the UK made moves to sanction Israel over its occupation of “Palestinian” territories, Israel has countered by supporting Argentina’s claims on the Falkland Islands.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel ’s minister for national security, posted on X, “It’s time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are Argentine territory under occupation, which the British violently steal from the Argentine people. The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal the money from the Argentine people. I call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and to impose sanctions on Great Britain as long as the occupation continues.”

ISLAMIST FOREIGNERS TAKE BACK SWEDEN – Thanks overwhelmingly to the “migrant” vote, largely dominated by Islamists from the Middle East, Sweden’s pro-Sweden government was defeated by 3 parliament seats. This means the anti-Sweden left has taken power by the slimmest of margins thanks almost entirely to the foreigner Islamist vote. Sweden has fallen, for now.
DEFIANT CLANCY JUROR NOW IN HIDING – The now-doxed Lindsay Clancy juror who prevented the defendant from escaping criminal justice is now in hiding, along with his family. The juror, Michael Desronvil, has remained defiant, claiming he voted on the merits of the case, which showed Clancy was guilty of first-degree murder, of strangling her three children to death.

His family has received numerous death threats. He has acquired a lawyer as he prepares to sue the press and the jurors responsible for both doxing him and committing slander against him.

DID NETANYAHU KNOW? – Ahead of the Israeli national elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being accused of knowing about October 7 in advance. The accusation comes from former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz. He accused the Prime Minister of ignoring and concealing warning signs that led to the “successful” assault by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu accused Halutz of lying. Halutz doubled down, claiming he was involved with numerous conversations that validate this claim, and that from those conversations he was convinced Netanyahu knew more than he said he did.

MASSACHUSETTS KIDNAPS CHILD TO TRANSITION HER – A Roman Catholic couple lost their child to the state when they refused to transition her to a boy. Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough socially transitioned her to a “boy” without her parents’ consent. When the parents rightly contested this illegal activity, Massachusetts state authorities chose to kidnap the child instead of prosecuting school officials.

Child grooming and violating parents’ rights is protected criminal action by the state of Massachusetts. The girl is now 17 and being unconstitutionally confined in a boys’ dormitory. The state is giving her birth control pills and psychiatric drugs while it prepares to mutilate her body.

RUSSIA LITERALLY CONNECTS TO NORTH KOREA NOW – Russia and North Korea have cut the rope on a new bridge that links their two territories together. North Korean’s State media reported, the bridge was built and opened to “ensure the safe passage of various kinds of vehicles and personnel traffic.”

It also claims the bridge is “a guarantee for building up and reinforcing an important infrastructure for economic cooperation between the two countries and revitalizing multi-faceted cooperation including human exchange, tourism and commodity circulation.”

B. HEADLINES MISSED

CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveal the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing the truth about their religion of terror and pedophilia was more painful than the thousands of deaths their religion caused on 9/11, and continues to cause worldwide, even as we report this today. For that, they want us to pay.
CHINESE BILLIONAIRE MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil. These children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After the SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”

A. PEOPLE ADVANCE

TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump has announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
GOP GETS BACK MISSOURI SEAT AFTER COURT RULING – The 8^th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled the Missouri 2026 Midterm election should follow the same map in place for the primaries. That map is the GOP-altered one that eliminates one Democrat House Seat stronghold. The court stated, “This Court holds that Missouri’s current plan to use the 2022 map in the November 2026 general election violates the Constitution. Only use of the 2025 map complies with the Constitution and federal law.”
GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE, LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.
110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.
JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment. It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
U.S. JOB CREATION HEATS BACK UP – The U.S. economy has seen job growth stagnate the past couple of months, leading experts to predict an anemic August jobs report. However, the jobs report delivered far better than expected, with 162,000 new jobs being created in July, Unemployment held steady at 4.1%. In addition to this news, another report revealed unemployment among the college-less is at an all-time low.
SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”

IRAN WAR PUSHES ON AS THEIR LEADER CRIES DEFIANCE – The Iran War continues mostly unabated, with the Houthis making considerable advances along the Red Sea coast. At home, it seems likely the President will face a Senate resolution demanding an end to the war. The President of Iran Massoud Pezeshkian, is claiming they will keep resisting, but signs of internal disruption are only increasing.
30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

WAR IN UKRAINE ESCALATING – Russia is warning Ukrainians it plans on escalating its assault on civilians. President Putin threatened Ukrainians, declaring he will bring them “to their knees.” The rhetoric follows concerns Russia might be preparing to launch sea drone attacks on NATO members.
FRANCE TO SEND TROOPS TO RESCUE SAUDIS AND DEFEND PORT – France has pledged to send military assistance to help Saudi Arabia defend itself from the increasing Houthi assault on its territory. President Emmaneul Macron declared, “We are going to send military assets, that is, soldiers, radar systems, and defense systems to protect this site.”
CLANCY DEFENSE WANTS TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial is now facing a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington is hoping Judge William Sullivan will examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge has yet to rule on the unusual filing. This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

PAKISTAN ESCALATES WAR WITH AFGHANISTAN – Pakistan launched three separate air strikes on three separate Afghan provinces in response to drone attacks from Afghanistan a day earlier. The airstrikes were mostly centered in the southeast part of the country. Four civilians were allegedly killed. A Taliban spokesperson said, “These shameless acts of aggression and attacks by the Pakistani military regime will be met with an appropriate response.”
RUBIO WEARS TWO POWERFUL HATS NOW – Secretary of State Marco Rubio has added another role to the many other roles he has served in the Trump administration. He is currently the Secretary of State. He is also now President Trump’s official and permanent National Security Advisor, a role almost as powerful, sometimes more powerful, than the role he serves now. He had been serving as the acting National Security Advisor.

CANADIAN CHOOSES U.S. CARE TO CANADA’S EUTHANASIA SOLUTION – A Canadian that was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer was recommended euthanasia before any oncologist was consulted. She took that as a sign she should seek healthcare elsewhere, which she did, in the U.S. Here, she received treatment and now seems to have recovered. Kristin Logan told a conservative outlet; “I hadn’t even seen an oncologist yet before I got that pamphlet. As I’m waiting for even the first call from the oncology team, I get this pamphlet in the mail basically telling me that I can go and kill myself. At that point you realize what a DYSTOPIAN situation it is.”
BLACK MAN HANGS BLACK WOMAN, AP SHAMES WHITES – The Associated Press attempted to incite violence against white people by fanning the flames of racial hatred. They did so through their report of the murder by hanging of a black woman, Tasia Fortune, who was only 29. After a black man, Jarques Ratcliff, 51, was arrested for the murder, the narrative wasn’t changed, that white supremacism is causing a lynching epidemic.

AP continued to promote the original anti-white narrative, accusing white supremacism of murdering the woman. CNN, which reported on the story in a similar manner, failed to follow up on the story when it became apparent the murderer was not a white man after all. This is not the free press, this is a military operation.

AI CREATES ONE MILLION JOBS – The Economist has estimated AI has created five jobs for every one job lost. Their study claims AI has caused 200,000 job cuts since mid-2023 while creating one million new jobs.
DOJ REJECTS UNCONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON HANDGUN PURCHASES – The Department of Justice has announced it has no plans to enforce the federal ban on handgun purchases for adults under 20. The DOJ stated it will not enforce a law that unfairly discriminates against the constitutional rights of citizens based on age.
INTERSTATE HANDGUN SALE BAN NO MORE – The Fifth Circuit just struck down a federal ban on interstate handgun sales. That law has been enforced since 1968. The majority opinion held “The Ban, true to its name, categorically bars an entire class of otherwise lawful firearms purchases. The Ban is not a mere stipulation upon an otherwise safeguarded right to purchase firearms in the course of ‘keeping’ them.”

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.

Read more on the portents of the 2026 election in our Deep Dive on page 2.

IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government.

HOUTHIS OPEN RED SEA FRONT, TRUMP NEGOTIATES – The Houthis have been taking islands, ports, and Red Sea coast territory in a bid to rescue Iran from U.S. onslaught. The new territory enables them to attack vessels traversing the Red Sea (which they’ve already done). The Saudis have responded by forming an army to remove them. President Trump is in talks with the Houthis, and the Saudis have called for a two-week ceasefire.
ANTHROPIC WANTS PROGRESSIVE EXTREMISTS TO DEFINE THE FUTURE OF AI – Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has picked a panel of far-left, “woke” extremists to “protect” us from the evil AI apocalypse the progressive state media has been pushing. The “board” consists of children of wealthy progressives.

The guiding principle of the group is “Effective Altruism,” which requires a finite definition of value anti-progressives are sure to be existentially threatened by. For instance, this will place abortion in this hierarchy of value as a highly desired altruistic outcome and opposition to abortion will be placed in its hierarchy of value as being anathema to altruism, and thus a criminal activity.

FED RAISES RATES – The Federal Reserve rose interest rates for the first time in six years, citing concerns over the inflation rate continuing to exceed 2%. The board voted unanimously to raise rates and signaled more rate increases were coming. President Trump pushed back against the decision, but stopped short of criticizing the Federal Reserve Chair, Kevin Warsh. President Trump nominated Warsh for the position he now holds.
CANADA COURTS THE EU – After the European Union floated the idea of Canada becoming an “associate” member of their Union, Canada’s PM Mark Carney enthusiastically embraced the idea. This followed Carney’s exposed secret collusion with the Chinese military, making Canada a potential base of operation for her current enemy, China, and her fast-becoming future enemy, Europe. Canada is becoming a security risk for the United States.
ISLAMIST FOREIGNERS TAKE BACK SWEDEN – Thanks overwhelmingly to the “migrant” vote, largely dominated by Islamists from the Middle East, Sweden’s pro-Sweden government was defeated by 3 parliament seats. This means the anti-Sweden left has taken power by the slimmest of margins thanks almost entirely to the foreigner Islamist vote. Sweden has fallen, for now.
DEFIANT CLANCY JUROR NOW IN HIDING – The now-doxed Lindsay Clancy juror who prevented the defendant from escaping criminal justice is now in hiding, along with his family. The juror, Michael Desronvil, has remained defiant, claiming he voted on the merits of the case, which showed Clancy was guilty of first-degree murder, of strangling her three children to death.

His family has received numerous death threats. He has acquired a lawyer as he prepares to sue the press and the jurors responsible for both doxing him and committing slander against him.

DID NETANYAHU KNOW? – Ahead of the Israeli national elections, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is being accused of knowing about October 7 in advance. The accusation comes from former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Dan Halutz. He accused the Prime Minister of ignoring and concealing warning signs that led to the “successful” assault by Hamas terrorists.

Netanyahu accused Halutz of lying. Halutz doubled down, claiming he was involved with numerous conversations that validate this claim, and that from those conversations he was convinced Netanyahu knew more than he said he did.

MASSACHUSETTS KIDNAPS CHILD TO TRANSITION HER – A Roman Catholic couple lost their child to the state when they refused to transition her to a boy. Algonquin Regional High School in Southborough socially transitioned her to a “boy” without her parents’ consent. When the parents rightly contested this illegal activity, Massachusetts state authorities chose to kidnap the child instead of prosecuting school officials.

Child grooming and violating parents’ rights is protected criminal action by the state of Massachusetts. The girl is now 17 and being unconstitutionally confined in a boys’ dormitory. The state is giving her birth control pills and psychiatric drugs while it prepares to mutilate her body.

VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
CHINESE BILLIONAIRE MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil. These children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After the SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”

JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment. It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.

This report contains the Global Outlook, Headlines Missed, and People Advance Reports.

TOP NEWS TAGS

A. GLOBAL OUTLOOK

HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

SCOTUS PUNTS ON MISSOURI REDISTRICTING, GIVING DEMS ONE HOUSE SEAT – The Supreme Court just created massive chaos in Missouri when Justice Brett Kavanaugh rejected a petition by the Missouri GOP seeking to overthrow a state SCOTUS ruling blocking their redistricting map. This map was the one voters assumed when they voted in the primary election.

A lower Federal court has already “lifted” the state SCOTUS ruling, leaving state authorities wondering which court to honor. If the lack of a SCOTUS ruling holds, Missourians who voted in the primary might be voting in a different district in the general election. This non-ruling effectively preserves one Democrat seat.

ONE BLACK MAN DEFIES THE CLANCY JURY – Lindsay Clancy, the woman who has admitted to strangling her three children to death with premeditation, was about to go free thanks to progressive jurors. But one black man confounded them, holding out to force a mistrial. One juror told progressive state media that the man “just couldn’t get over the fact that she viciously murdered her children.”
DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
HOUTHIS TAKE A SEA PORT – The Houthis have successfully seized the seaport of Mokha, a pro-government Yemeni port. The attack was sudden. It captured the entire city off-guard as residents quickly moved to evacuate it. The Saudis have responded by hitting Mokha’s now captured airport.
DATA CENTERS, NOT AMERICAN RULE OF LAW, CENTER OF MIDTERMS – The central issue in a majority of contested U.S. House and Senate Races is becoming Data Centers. At a time when one party, the Democratic Party, is looking to convert America to the Progressive State, Americans are more concerned over data centers than losing their constitutional rights.

Republicans find themselves on the losing end of this issue with one candidate, Senator John Husted of Ohio, reflecting the new Republican strategy, join the fight against the data centers. He said “They’ve earned that backlash. They haven’t been as forthcoming about the benefits that will come in terms of local jobs and construction worker jobs and reduced property taxes, and they haven’t offered things like paying the energy bills for local communities, for the power plants they build.”

ISRAEL DEMANDS UK HAND OVER FALKLANDS – After the UK made moves to sanction Israel over its occupation of “Palestinian” territories, Israel has countered by supporting Argentina’s claims on the Falkland Islands.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel ’s minister for national security, posted on X, “It’s time for the State of Israel to publicly recognize that the Malvinas Islands are Argentine territory under occupation, which the British violently steal from the Argentine people. The British are not content with merely occupying the territory; they also carry out oil drilling there and steal the money from the Argentine people. I call upon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands and to impose sanctions on Great Britain as long as the occupation continues.”

RUSSIA LITERALLY CONNECTS TO NORTH KOREA NOW – Russia and North Korea have cut the rope on a new bridge that links their two territories together. North Korean’s State media reported, the bridge was built and opened to “ensure the safe passage of various kinds of vehicles and personnel traffic.”

It also claims the bridge is “a guarantee for building up and reinforcing an important infrastructure for economic cooperation between the two countries and revitalizing multi-faceted cooperation including human exchange, tourism and commodity circulation.”

NORTH KOREA’S KING JONG-UN HAS AN HEIR? – South Korea’s Spy Agency is claiming it has identified who it believes has been designated Kim Jong-un’s heir apparent, a secret older son. The agency had been operating under the assumption Jong-un had no son. The report has not been substantiated, but the agency making such a claim in and of itself is newsworthy.

CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveal the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing the truth about their religion of terror and pedophilia was more painful than the thousands of deaths their religion caused on 9/11, and continues to cause worldwide, even as we report this today. For that, they want us to pay.
ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.
U.S. JOB CREATION HEATS BACK UP – The U.S. economy has seen job growth stagnate the past couple of months, leading experts to predict an anemic August jobs report. However, the jobs report delivered far better than expected, with 162,000 new jobs being created in July, Unemployment held steady at 4.1%. In addition to this news, another report revealed unemployment among the college-less is at an all-time low.
SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

TOP NEWS TAGS

GLOBAL OUTLOOK

BIDEN’S FBI KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO FAMILY CORRUPTION – The FBI under President Biden ran a covert operation designed to neutralize any effort to investigate allegations of corruption by the Biden family. The operation was called “Rounded River.” The Trump White House Transparency Task Force released their findings this past month.
LETITIA JAMES EXPOSED BY IN-HOUSE WHISTLEBLOWER – Assistant Attorney General Daniel Wiesenfeld is claiming Lawfare prosecutor Letitia James’ office is instructing their attorneys to find reasons to prosecute President Trump and his allies. Wiesenfeld claimed his supervisors told him “to find and pursue crimes committed by specific individuals and organizations affiliated with Donald Trump.”
THUNE LETS SAVE ACT DIE – The SAVE Act, aka the SAVE America Act, came closer to not being passed before the summer recess thanks to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The last attempt failed to pass by a vote of 48-50.

It now appears increasingly likely that mass mailer elections will continue at least until 2026, giving Democrats a decided advantage. For the progressive state press, this defeat of Voter ID legislation was celebrated.

SCOTUS UPHOLDS TRUMP MAIL-IN VOTING ORDER – A Supreme Court ruling will allow the Trump administration’s Mail-in Voting Executive Order to take effect in the 2026 midterm election. The order requires states to have “unique ballot envelope identifiers, such as bar codes, [to] enable confirmation that only citizens receive and cast ballots, reducing the risk of fraud and protecting the integrity of Federal elections.”

The final ruling was 6-3, with the three progressive judges dissenting. The ruling did not determine if the executive order was legal, it only determined the states had no standing because they offered no proof of “concrete” harm by the order, claiming their arguments were only “conjecture.” Legal challenges are already happening, with one Obama judge already suspending Trump’s order after the SCOTUS Ruling.

U.S SWITCHES TO ECONOMIC WARFARE AGAINST IRAN – The Strait of Hormuz appears to be mostly opened, but not fully safe. The Trump administration has ended all negotiations with Iran, demanding total surrender. The U.S. has switched to economic warfare against Iran, of a scale never seen before. They’ve warned their allies that any refusal to go along with the U.S. plan will result in them being removed from the U.S. dollar system.

CCP RUNNING OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN 83 U.S. COLLEGES – The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.

The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

EU’S AI ACT KICKS IN – Starting this Sunday, the EU’s new AI Act begins to take effect, which includes key provisions empowering the EU to regulate AI models and apply fines to companies that fall out of compliance. The law also gives the EU investigatory powers to penalize non-cooperating companies and individuals.

The Act itself presents a challenge to AI geopolitical realities of power as nations and associations like the EU attempt to use domestic laws to affect foreign AI powers. For instance, the fines countries give to foreign companies due to non-compliance with their AI rules could become weapons of war in the AI geopolitical reality of power.

ISRAEL SAYS NO TO GAZA WITHDRAWAL – Israel has informed the United States that it will not agree to any deal with Hamas that does not include their complete disarmament. As a response, the U.S.’s negotiator, Jared Kushner, stated “We will not allow Gaza to be rebuilt until the demilitarization occurs. Nobody wants to put more money into a place that’s gone on for so long if it’s just going to be taken over by terrorists or blown up again.”
META SECURES A $16.7 BILLION CHILD ADDICTION SETTLEMENT – A Federal lawsuit against social media giant Meta has been settled. Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion in an agreement with multiple states Attorney Generals. California is one of the states, but Texas and other large states are not. The lawsuit charged Meta with facilitating childhood social media addiction.

California State AG Rob Bonta said of the settlement, “Today, we have secured a settlement with Meta that will make social media less dangerous for our kids and make a world of a difference for children and their families,” Bonta said in a statement. “Meta has agreed to make massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms — and will do it within months.”

AG BLANCHE BARELY BREAKS CONFIRMATION MINIMUM – In a 50-49 vote, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was confirmed by the U.S. Senate as the now official Attorney General. He received no Democrat votes, with two Republicans, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, voting against him. The vote came down to Bill Cassidy (R-LA).

He gave a statement after his vote for Blanche, saying “Mr. Blanche is not perfect, and he will tell you this. But the choice is not between perfection and Mr. Blanche. It is between Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general who may not run the department effectively under President Trump and who indeed may not be as good as Mr. Blanche.”

DEMS WIN IN SENATE CR BILL – The Senate Voted 90-6 to pass short-term funding for the government just before they went on summer recess. The Senate failed to pass the SAVE Act, which would require Voter ID and same-day voting, but managed to pass a CR that protects Democrats’ social programs from Trump cuts through executive orders.
CANADA-US TRADE WAR IS ON – After President Trump announced new tariffs targeting Canada, Mark Carney’s administration has responded by meeting Trump’s tariffs with similar ones of his own. U.S. progressive state media has reported on the trade war decidedly from a pro-Canadian perspective.

During the trade war, Alberta continues to go forward with a referendum to secede from Canada. Canada’s progressive state press have now taken to refuse to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist act, telegraphing open hostility to America.

RUSSIA THREATENS ESCALATION, ZELENSKY SAYS ELECTIONS ARE TOO DANGEROUS – President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine has made it clear he has no intentions of holding elections during the war with Russia. He claimed election in wartime would put the country at risk. A trip by CIA Chief Scott Bessent to Moscow was triggered by Russia’s preparation to launch an attack on NATO, unnamed sources claim.

PROGRESSIVE STATE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FORMED CONFIDENTIAL GROUP TO PLOT JUDGEFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP PRESIDENCY – Democrat State Attorneys from across the country were coordinating their efforts to plot legal entanglements for President Trump before the 2024 election, while Biden was still running against Trump.

The group was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was a secret society of progressive DAs who wanted to go outside the bounds of government accountability record-keeping to plot their intentions to sabotage the Trump Presidency. What hasn’t been revealed is whether progressive judges were in that group.

APOCALYPTIC FLASH FLOOD DEVASTATES TIBET AND NEPAL – Major flash floods from a glacial collapse devastated parts of Tibet and Nepal, with Nepal being the hardest hit. The flash floods removed whole villages, hitting them with 30-plus-foot high walls. The alleged current death toll stands at around 1,000, with thousands reported missing. The true death toll may be much higher. There were scores of foreigners among the dead, including 60-plus Americans. They were there to make Hindu pilgrimages.
ANTI-JOURNALIST LAW SIGNED BY GAVIN NEWSOME – California’s Progressive Governor, Gavin Newsome, has signed the “Stop Nick Shirley” Act into law. The law makes it illegal for reporters to question immigration service providers on film and share the results online. The law selectively protects a certain class of people from American journalism. The law is sure to be challenged in the courts.

The law takes effect October 1, 2027. Progressive Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who introduced the bill, claimed, “Our immigrant service providers are living in fear because of extremists looking to demonize the work that they do and the populations they serve.” This is not Americanism, this is progressivism. We are different nations altogether.

DISTRICT JUDGE BLOCKS 75-NATION VISA BAN – U.S. District Judge Jeanette Vargas struck down the Trump administration’s pause on issuing visas to 75 countries. The judge claimed Secretary of State Marco Rubio exceeded his legal authority. She asserts consular authority trumps Secretary of State authority. The judge is another Biden-appointed District Judge. The ruling has been appealed.
SWALWELL GETS PHONE TAKEN BY FBI AT AIRPORT – Progressive anti-Americanist Eric Swalwell, the former congressman from California removed for ethics violations, had his phone seized from him by the FBI. He was met at the San Francisco Airport by FBI Agents. This action comes after evidence has emerged that shows he knew his former lover was a Chinese spy.
ANOTHER STATE LEGALIZES ABORTION UP TO BIRTH – Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey held a signing ceremony with herself and abortion-supporting women to celebrate the signing of a bill legalizing abortion up to birth. A law already existed that allowed “late-term abortions” to protect the life of the mother.

Now, a woman or girl need not give any reason to demand doctors murder her unborn child, even if it’s on the day of the child’s scheduled delivery. In the 2024 election, Democrats claimed no one was suggesting legalizing abortions up to birth. Now, 10 states have passed laws allowing abortion up to birth. Massachusetts became the 10^th state.

MIXED NIGHT FOR DSA IN LATEST PRIMARY ROUND – In Michigan, the DSA won the Democratic nominations for U.S. Senate and the 13^th U.S. House but lost the 7^th House Race and the Governors’ Race. On Thursday, a Trump-backed U.S. House candidate lost in an upset. Andy Ogles (R-KY) lost his primary race to Charlie Hatcher. He is the incumbent, and a reliable Trump ally.

In Missouri, the “moderate’ Democrat defeated the far-left progressive in the Missouri 1^st House. In Virginia, the “moderate” Democrats won most House races. For Tuesday’s Trump-endorsed candidates, it was a near sweep in all races, which include Michigan, Missouri, Kansas, Virginia, and Washington.

WAPO “LEAKERS” CALLED TREASONOUS BY TRUMP AFTER CLAIMING U.S. LOW IN MUNITIONS – After a Washington Post article claimed an “insider” revealed to them that U.S. long-range munitions were running low due to the Iran war, President Trump accused the “leakers” of being treasonous.

President Trump wrote, “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed. Defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history. The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down. Long term jail sentences will be sought.”

BURNHAM JAIL BREAK MAY HAVE CONVICTED CHILD RAPE GANG MEMBERS IN IT – The new Prime Minister of Britian, Andy Burnham, has plans to grant early release to thousands of violent convicted criminals, but wants to do a review on the plan to assure convicted child rape and grooming gang members don’t get out as well.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch was the one who raised a red flag that showed, under Burnham’s guidance, five known child rape grooming gang members would be eligible for early release.

DHS FINDS CHINESE PARTS IN U.S. VOTING MACHINES – Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.

The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

AI IS NOW CREATING NEW VIRUSES – Researchers at Stanford University were using AI to study pathogens of existing viruses. In the process, they trained AI perhaps too well, for now AI can design viruses. The researchers claim the AI was only intended to be used as “virus surveillance,” but somehow they went beyond that point. The AI designed 16 new viruses.
CCP HACKERS BREAK INTO MAJOR U.S. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS – The Department of Justice announced the disruption of a Chinese Communist Party hacking operation that had successfully accessed government networks. Some institutions breached include the Senate, the DOJ, NASA, and the Federal Reserve.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks… Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking – and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.”

AMERICA LOOKS TO FORM NO-CHINA-AI ALLIANCE – The United States is looking to head China off at the AI resource path with a pending message to its allies. The U.S. is working on a draft letter that will let its allies know they cannot partner with China’s AI-led group and benefit from America’s AI power. The group, called the World AI Cooperation Organization, appears to be a vessel for China to secure AI resources for its country.
CNN RUNS INFORMERCIAL FOR THE DSA, FEATURING HASAN PIKER – CNN feted self-avoided Marxist Hasan Piker on their “Whole Story” episode called “The Left Insurgency.” The show was billed as an objective examination of the rise of the Democratic Socialists. It ended up being a celebration of the rise of the DSA, with Hasan Piker featured in the event at the beginning and the end.

Hasan Piker has endorsed terrorism by Hamas and by Antifa regularly on his twitch streams, where hundreds of thousands of children and young adults regularly hear messages endorsing political violence. Piker ended the “documentary” by declaring “there is 0% chance that whoever the elected Democrat is that wins the primary will be pro-Israel in any way, shape or form. You’ll see.”

PRO ABORTION STATES FALL BELOW REPLACEMENT RATES – The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.
YOUNG MEN ABANDON MARRIAGE – A study from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) shows a dramatic increase in the number of unmarried young men, while married young men have decreased. Unmarried men in the 20-29 age group outnumber married men in that age group almost 2 to 1, 30.4 million to 15.4 million. The number of unmarried young men increased by 47% in 25 years.
U.S. PROPS YEN WITH EUROS – The Department of Treasury is using its Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Japanese Yen in the hopes of propping up the dangerously weak currency. This hasn’t happened in 30 years. The U.S. is not using U.S. dollars; it is using Euros.

This action follows a recent previous Treasury intervention to help a weakening Argentinian currency. That deal resulted in the loan being paid back in full (at profit). These interventions signal a shift in Treasury policy from two plus decades of international currency passivity to aggressive interventionism.

FCC LIFTS LIMITS ON LOCAL TV STATION OWNERSHIP – The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-1 to lift FCC restrictions on local tv station ownership. The ruling will allow companies to own local stations that cover more than 39% of the U.S. They can now also own more than one tv station in a local market.
BARFARE HITS DHS ATTORNEY – Progressive groups have long used progressive-controlled bar associations to unconstitutionally remove non-progressive lawyers from the courts. Now, the latest action targeted a DHS attorney. DHS General Counsel James Percival faced a bar association complaints from anti-American progressive groups over his rightful chastisement of rogue district judges. These judges continuously ignore higher court rulings, including SCOTUS rulings.
TRUMP WITHIN WINDOW VIEW OF CCP SNIPER – A senior Chinese Communist Party official has somehow been allowed to purchase historic property in Washington D.C. That property is only 650 feet away from the White House’s northeast grounds. The man, Qiu Feili (who goes by Philip Qiu in America) is also a trained sniper. The property cost $8.4 million.
AUSTRALIA WANTS TO BE THE WORLD’S INTERNET COP – The Australian government is considering legislation that appears to give Australia jurisdiction over all social media companies worldwide that run afoul of their national laws. The legislation would grant Australia the power to retrieve any data from any person or company affiliated with a social media company that does business in Australia.

X protested the bill, claiming it would “compel any person outside Australia to provide information and documents merely because they are affiliated with a company.” X claimed the bill gave no “due regard to procedural fairness, privacy, the broader impacts on online services, and Australia’s digital economy.” Elon Musk called it a “backdoor way to control access to the internet by all Australians.”

SCIENTISTS CALL FOR A 50% REDUCTION OF HUMANITY – A group of scientists released a public statement calling for humans to reduce their numbers by 4 billion by the year 2200.

They wrote, “We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to ∼4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability. Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems.”

MYANMAR JUNTA THREATENS THAILAND – The Myanmar Junta’s military chief, General Ye Win Oo, met with Thailand officials to warn them about their porous borders. The Junta is accusing Thailand of allowing arms to reach the resistance to its military rule. The junta held an election January of this year, but that election was not recognized as being legitimate, for only Junta-approved candidates were allowed to run in the election.

One of the resistance leaders, Min Thway Thit, responded to the action, declaring “The junta is making every effort to cut off the flow of weapons across the border under the pretext of holding talks with neighboring countries. Our resistance forces must stay alert, plan alternative routes, and call for stronger international pressure on the regime.”

THAILAND UNDER ISLAMIST ATTACK IN THE SOUTH – Thailand’s Prime Minister held an emergency meeting after a coordinated series of attacks by Islamist terrorists in the nation’s southern-most province. The attacks come at a time when Thailand is still dealing with a major flood crisis in the north. There were 51 reported attacks that included bombings, arson, and property damage. No security or police forces were targeted. The attacks appear to be aimed at damaging infrastructure and causing disruption.
YOUR AI MIGHT BE PROPAGANDIZING YOU – The Federal Trade Commission is looking to create rules to prevent what it suspects is intentional propagandization by AI chatbots.

The FTC declared, “As the proposed policy statement explains, the FTC Act prohibits businesses from engaging in ‘unfair or deceptive’ conduct. The proposed statement goes on to describe how AI companies that distort their systems’ outputs to achieve undisclosed ideological objectives could be deceiving consumers in violation Section 5 of the FTC Act. Such conduct, it explains, may be at odds with explicit and implicit representations made to consumers about the effectiveness and suitability of AI systems for various tasks.”

TRANS CULT GROUP SUSPECTED OF SERIAL MURDER SEES CHARGES SUSPENDED – A Transgender cult called Zizian saw its felony firearms charges suspended without comment by a Maryland court. The group has been linked to eight violent deaths. The hope was the arrests in 2022 would lead to serial murder charges, but now the investigation appears to be suspended. There are three members in the cult, all three saw their cases made inactive on August 14.

RUSSIA SAVES NIGER JUNTA – Russian mercenaries were crucial in preventing the fall of the Niger Junta, which have ruled since they successfully executed a coup in 2023. The junta itself was in danger of being deposed by disgruntled soldiers, but Russian mercenaries successfully quelled the revolt. The action cements Russia’s preferred status in the Junta’s Niger.
UN WANTS AMERICANS TO PAY REPARATIONS TO AFRICANS – A United Nations committee is issuing a decree to white majority western countries to pay reparations to African descendants of slaves. Tops on that list were America and Britain. The committee insisted, “States Parties must implement comprehensive reparatory measures for people of African descent, covering all aspects of remedies.”

JUDGEMENT AGAINST O’KEEFE STRUCK DOWN – Investigative journalist James O’Keefe saw a $130,000 judgment against him thrown out by a three-panel D.C. appeals court. The judgment came after a Democratic group sued O’Keefe’s Project Veritas. The group claimed Project Veritas’ video called “Rigging the Election” was fraudulent and in violation of wiretapping rules. A D.C. jury ruled in their favor. After the judgment, O’Keefe filed an appeal, claiming the judgment was a violation of the Freedom of Press. The panel ruled 2-1 he was right.

Circuit Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson wrote in the ruling, “The principal question in this appeal is whether the jury’s damages award violated the First Amendment by punishing the defendants for publishing a news story. We conclude that it did. The separate issue is whether, under D.C. law, one of the media defendants became the fiduciary of her own news target by tricking him into hiring her as an unpaid intern. We conclude that she did not.”

Editor’s Commentary: JD Vance and the Good Samaritan

pgnewser February 21, 2025

By Paul Collier, Editor

“Jesus replied, ‘A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. Now by chance, a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

And the next day, he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, “Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.” Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?’ He said, ‘The one who showed him mercy.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘You go, and do likewise.’” – Luke 10:30-37

On January 30, 2025, newly sworn-in Vice President JD Vance had a moment when speaking with Sean Hannity that kicked off a whole host of “debates” (some in good faith, some in bad faith) about the nature of Christian love. He was speaking specifically about the illegal alien invasion of the country and the President’s plan to deport them all.

First, here’s what JD Vance said that kicked off the dust storms:

“[A]s an American leader, but also just as an American citizen, your compassion belongs first to your fellow citizens. It doesn’t mean you hate people from outside of your own borders.

But there’s this old-school [concept] – and I think a very Christian concept, by the way – that you love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens in your own country, and then after that you can focus and prioritize the rest of the world.”

The go-to counter by the left is to appeal to Luke 10, the Parable of the Good Samaritan, to counter this notion that the Homefront comes first. In this story, a Samaritan, who is considered by many at that time to be a stench on the land, finds a poor (presumably) Jew who had been beaten, robbed, and left for dead. Before the Samaritan (the stench of the land) found him, a priest saw him and passed him by, so too did a member of the tribe of Levi, a Levite (which is the priestly tribe).

In this story, then, we have a non-descript Jew who is near death, and two Jews from the most “holy” of tribes, with one being an officer in one of the highest sacred positions in the land. We have the earth, the below, in the beaten man, and wisdom from heaven, the priest and the Levite, intersecting, and the highest of the highest who is a brother to this Jew walked on, left him for dead.

But the lowest of the low, the stench of the land, the Samaritan, bent down and picked up the earth, the Jew, though he was his enemy. The leftist uses this passage to back up the claim that “Christian” love means we love everyone equally, and so those who are without, whether they be family or fellow citizens, strangers or foreigners, we give first to those with the most needs. The good Samaritan gave to the man who hated him because that man had a greater need than his own.

Of course, this takes the gospel out of the story, as this writer sees it, a story that works to show us the nature of true Christian love, to love your enemy as yourself, but it also shows that this spirit, this Christian love, is what makes you a priest, a high position in a family that crosses all racial and ethnic boundaries.

The priest and the Levite were lower in the earth than the man left for dead, though they walked in the whitewashed tombs of a legacy of true priests and Levites.

That love is possible because Christ loved his enemies as he loved himself at an unfathomable scale, giving His life and suffering the torment of the sins of billions of enemies so that they might be saved, for Christ died for us while we were yet his enemies.

That love was reflected in the Samaritan, who risked death himself, walking into Judean towns. It might be the fact that he was helping a Jew that he himself wasn’t robbed and beaten and left for dead.

The Samaritan was like others in Christ’s gospel from outside the 12 tribes who would show Israel that the righteousness of God in men is what made them high places in His Kingdom declared, a Kingdom among those who follow Christ, not their genetic heritage.

In Matthew 8, Jesus says of the faithful centurion who knew his servant could be healed with but a word from Christ, “Truly I tell you, with no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you many will come from east and west and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8:11-12).

The message of the Good Samaritan is NOT to give to those who need it the most, for if that were the case, Christ would have chastised the woman who came and washed his feet and used expensive perfumes to anoint Him with, an expense that could have gone to the poor instead. Christ says of her gesture, “Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told.” (Matthew 26:13).

The message of the Good Samaritan is multi-valent, but outside the shadow of Christ we see in the Good Samaritan, it demonstrates to believers what living out the love of Christ looks like in our lives, emboldening us to dare risk life and limb to rescue our enemies from harm. But that doesn’t mean we preclude the needs of loved ones in our lives or form a hierarchy of giving around “need” alone.

The Apostle Paul himself tells us in 1 Timothy 5:8 that “if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and worse than an unbeliever.”

We have a particular responsibility to provide first for our family, our friends, our associates, our fellow citizens, and then ever outward. When Christ came to walk the earth as the Son of Man, He demonstrated that stewardship responsibility to the inner circle, but yet called us to be impartial to those outside our inner circle.

We see an example of this in Mark 7 when Christ delivered the Syrophoenician woman’s daughter from demons because the foreign woman clearly demonstrated faith in Christ the Messiah even though he did not come to serve non-Jews. He judged her impartially, not as a foreigner, but as a daughter of Christ, for she clearly recognized him as the Messiah, calling Him Lord.

As he was leaving, he told them, “You will be witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) He sent them out with a stewardship that began at home (Jerusalem) and extended outward (Judah, then Samaria, and then the ends of the earth) AFTER the home was served first.

On this, JD Vance was right. But he left out a distinction between stewardship and love. Stewardship is the fruit of love through Christ’s love; it is a certain responsibility love leads us to fulfill, but it’s not love itself. This, I believe, is closer to what JD Vance was describing.

This is an important distinction, and it could explain why JD Vance’s message isn’t more clearly understood (though it might reflect his own lack of understanding of the deeper gospel message, that love is about stewardship, but it’s also about impartiality, and even mercy).

Love does not mean I deprive my neighbors to provide for strangers. Love DOES mean that I show NO PARTIALITY to my neighbors over strangers. If my brother steals from a stranger, Christian love compels me to side with the stranger. Love DOES mean if someone is bleeding in front of me and they are my enemy, I stop what I’m doing and seek to come to their aid.

The left leaves out the stewardship responsibility we have to our inner circles, while JD Vance appears to have left out impartiality and mercy in his, equating stewardship with the totality of Christian love, which it is not.

What’s more, he uses this analogy to justify deporting millions of illegal aliens, some of whom might deserve impartiality and mercy when considering their unique circumstances. To be sure, the criminals (the ones who are criminals for more than just being here illegally) will have to go. To let this nation continue to be inundated with dangerous people who have no right to be here would be bad stewardship of our inner circle, our fellow citizens.

But somewhere in that mix are people who might be like that broken man, beaten and left for dead, in need of mercy, even if you imagine these people are our enemies (some of them are, but most of them are not).

In the last of the books of Moses, Deuteronomy, as Moses is preparing his people for his own death, he tells his people, as commanded to him by God “He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.” (Deuteronomy 10:18-19).

It is not good stewardship, and thus not good Christian love, to sacrifice the well-being of your fellow citizens to take care of strangers, but now that they’re here, let us remember it is also not good Christian love to decline to give mercy, nor to decline to serve the ones beaten, robbed, and left for dead either.
