Friday, Federal District Judge Deborah Boardman, a Joe Biden appointee, sentenced the man who attempted to assassinate Associate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to eight years in prison. During a meandering two-hour soliloquy, Boardman tried to justify a sentence that represented a stunning downward departure of 22 years from the sentence recommended by sentencing guidelines and the prosecutors. My colleague Bonchie has the whole story of those sordid proceedings in Outrage: Biden Judge Gives Kavanaugh Assassin Shocking Sentence, Praises Attacker’s ‘Transgenderism’ – RedState.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Department of Justice will appeal the ridiculously lenient sentence.

Excerpt:

Delegations from Hamas, Israel and the United States are due to convene in Egypt for talks on US President Donald Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza.

Indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the 20-point plan are due to begin in Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday.

The talks, which come on the eve of the second anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel that led to the war, have raised hopes that the devastating conflict, which has killed tens of thousands in Gaza, could soon end. But at the same time, there are plenty of potential obstacles to sealing a deal.

Trump has insisted that both sides are on board with his peace framework and has called for the negotiations to “move fast” in reaching an agreement.

Despite the failure of several initiatives to try to end the conflict, including two brief ceasefires that collapsed, the bombardment of Gaza, which has now killed at least 67,160 people, wounded 169,679, and pushed the enclave’s two million or so people towards starvation, Trump said “the first phase should be completed this week”.

In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump said there had been “very positive discussions with Hamas” and other governments over the weekend “to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, finally have long sought peace in the Middle East”.

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution,” said the late David Horowitz, quoting a 1960s rebel. The Palestinian conflict, the climate, transgenderism, immigration, and abortion are all proximate causes for protests and now terrorism. But they are all also part of an amalgamated “omnicause” whose real purpose is to bring down the United States and the West.

Following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and other recent tragedies that are rightly garnering worldwide attention, our leaders have finally woken up and are looking into who the perpetrators are and who organizes and finances them.

After Kirk’s death, a liberal fired three bullets into an ABC News office in Sacramento, supposedly to protest the suspension of left-wing commentator Jimmy Kimmel. Last week, another radical shot inside a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, killing two people.

Law enforcement is investigating, and Congress is weighing hearings on whether we have a problem with leftwing violence in America. For years, I have called for investigations into Black Lives Matter.

J.B. Pritzker Cries “Trump’s Invasion”, Gavin Newsom Warns “America Is on the Brink of Martial Law”, After President Trump Orders Texas National Guard Troops to Chicago and Portland | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

President Donald Trump on Sunday ordered the deployment of four hundred Texas National Guard troops, with the consent of Gov. Greg Abbott (R), to Illinois and Oregon to protect ICE agents and federal facilities under violent siege by Antifa and other leftist terrorists in Chicago and Portland.

The orders federalize about 2,000 Texas National Guard under Northern Command, authorizing their deployment to “Illinois, Oregon and other locations throughout the United States,” with an initial deployment of 400 troops to Portland and Chicago.

The move follows Trump ordering California National Guard troops to Portland after a federal judge on Saturday blocked Trump from deploying the Oregon National Guard. Oregon, California and Portland went to court Sunday night to fight the new California orders.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) flipped out earlier Sunday when he learned Trump, who had already federalized the state guard to protect Los Angeles in June, sent California National Guard troops to Portland, calling the orders “appalling” and “un-American.”

California’s Vague ‘Hate Speech’ Bill Would Censor Conservatives– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

California lawmakers are once again leading the charge — not toward progress, but toward repression. Their latest move, Senate Bill 771 (SB-771), is being packaged as a bold stand against “hate” on social media. In reality, it’s a direct assault on the free expression and constitutionally protected speech of ministries, minority groups, and faith-based organizations.

The bill would force Big Tech to remove content that could be interpreted as “harassment” or “intimidation” based on race, gender identity, sexual orientation, and more — or face financially devastating lawsuits.

If Gov. Gavin Newsom signs this bill into law as expected, it will become one of the most dangerous speech-restricting laws in the country. Cloaked in the language of civil rights, SB-771 is built to punish dissent from progressive orthodoxy.

The target is anyone who dares to speak publicly about values or perspectives that conflict with the state’s ever-expanding list of protected identities. In practice, this means community groups sharing discussions on traditional family structures, cultural views on gender roles, or advocacy for certain social issues may find themselves silenced — not by law enforcement, but by tech giants eager to avoid legal risk.

UK Government Advances Plan to Mandate Digital ID for All Children– slaynews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The British government is quietly pushing through legislation that critics warn will expand cradle-to-grave surveillance, override parental rights, and lay the foundation for a dystopian control grid targeting children.

Branded the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill,” the measure is being sold to the public as a way to “safeguard” children and improve welfare.

In reality, the bill aligns seamlessly with the government’s digital ID agenda and globalist goals that have nothing to do with protecting children.

Introduced in December 2024, the legislation has already passed three readings in the House of Commons and is now before the House of Lords.

While marketed as a children’s welfare initiative, it contains sweeping provisions to expand government data collection, force compliance monitoring, and entrench state authority over education and child-rearing.

Newsom to Pull Funding from Schools Who Agree Not to Racially Discriminate Under Trump’s New Plan– www.westernjournal.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an ultimatum on Thursday to universities in the state, warning them that entering an agreement with the Trump administration will put them directly at odds with the governor.

After the White House proposed a deal to nine universities promising that compliance with the administration’s agenda could grant them priority treatment in funding decisions, Newsom issued a harsh warning to any “sell-out universities” that might accept it.

The offer in Trump’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” asks schools to stop racially discriminating in admissions and hiring decisions and commit to institutional neutrality and upholding free speech. Newsom said any school that complies with the federal government will “lose billions in state funding” instead.

“If any California University signs this radical agreement, they’ll lose billions in state funding — including Cal Grants — instantly,” Newsom said in a press release. “California will not bankroll schools that sell out their students, professors, researchers, and surrender academic freedom.”

Mathematicians Discover Prime Number Pattern in Fractal Chaos– www.scientificamerican.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Prime numbers are sometimes called math’s “atoms” because they can be divided by only themselves and 1. For two millennia, mathematicians have wondered if the prime numbers are truly random, or if some unknown pattern underlies their ordering. Recently number theorists have proposed several surprising conjectures on prime patterns—in particular, probabilistic patterns that show up in large groups of the mathematical atoms.

The patterns in the primes trace back to an 1859 hypothesis involving the legendary Riemann zeta function. Mathematician Bernhard Riemann derived a function that counts the number of primes up to a number x. It includes three main ingredients: a smooth estimate, a set of corrective terms coming from the Riemann zeta function, and a small error term.

Much has been written about the Riemann zeta function, but the most important thing to know is that it provides a correction to the smooth estimate. To do so, it takes on a wavy pattern, sometimes raising the count, sometimes lowering it. These corrective oscillations are determined by the locations of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function. In fact, the celebrated Riemann hypothesis claims that all such zeros lie on a “critical line” where the real part equals 12.

Trump Skirts Controversial Court Order, Deploys National Guard Troops To Portland– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard personnel to Portland, Oregon, a longtime hotbed of left-wing extremism where violent riots targeting federal buildings and facilities have persisted for months. The move comes after a federal judge in Oregon attempted to block the president from taking federal control of the Oregon national guard in order to deploy 200 troops.

The news was shared by an irate California Governor Gavin Newsom, who lost a court case earlier this year when California Attorney General Rob Bonta attempted to block the president from doing the same with the state’s national guard in order to quell several days of sustained unrest. The California deployment is ongoing at the discretion of War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

“After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now,” Newsom announced in an X post.

The governor added that the state will be challenging the deployment in court, calling it “authoritarian.”

Politically motivated violence is a joke for Jones, but it’s a reality for politicians and leaders who face threats of death daily.

Democrat Jay Jones is the 2025 nominee for Virginia’s attorney general and he’s trying to walk back horrific comments he made wherein he wished death upon a colleague and his children. “I am so deeply, deeply sorry,” he said, “for what I said. And I wish that it happened. And I would take it back if I could.” He didn’t begin his apology tour until he got caught.

Jones wants to be the top cop in Virginia who enforces the law in a nonpartisan manner, yet his personal beliefs are that people with whom he politically disagrees are worthy of “bullets” and so is their family. Apologies were not offered to the family he joked was deserving of murder until after the expose was published

It was revealed this week by National Review that Jones is a man who revels in politically motivated violence. In 2022, he sent texts to a colleague in which he joked about shooting former VA House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

As AI redefines work, US employers cut jobs and remain cautious in hiring – Computerworld– www.computerworld.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

 

Ben Johnston, COO of small business lender Kapitus, said US businesses are grappling with tariffs that raise costs on imported goods, potentially making domestic manufacturing more competitive long term. But in the short term, those tariffs risk driving up inflation and disrupting global supply chains, threatening jobs across the manufacturing, wholesale, and retail sectors.

AI is also beginning to displace workers, especially in white-collar jobs. Companies are currently investing heavily in AI technologies that can analyze data and quickly make decisions that once could only be made by humans, Johnston said.

Companies are using AI to gather and analyze data from the web, internal systems, and third parties — tasks once done only by humans — mainly in white-collar roles like analytics and underwriting. And as robotics advance, AI could soon take on physical tasks in blue-collar jobs like driving, factory work, and even home healthcare, Johnston noted.

CAIR defends Muslims who graffitied Texas Church, claims it was protected speech | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

“We can and should condemn the vandalism of a house of worship without criminalizing speech.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has argued that prosecutors drop charges against three Muslims accused of vandalizing a Texas church, arguing the act was political expression protected by the First Amendment.

In 2024, three individuals were charged in connection with graffiti spray-painted on the wall of a non-denominational church in Euless, Texas. The act of vandalism was carried out after the church raised an Israeli flag following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel. The phrase “F*** Israel” was painted on the walls of the church along with pro-Palestinian stickers, all of which were captured on the church’s security cameras.

Three suspects, identified as Raqunaq Alam, Asfsheen Khan, and Julia Venzor, were initially charged with felony criminal mischief, but the charges were later increased to a third-degree felony hate crime because they targeted a church.

Man Convicted Of Fatally Stabbing 6-Year-Old Released From Prison: Report– www.westernjournal.com

Having served less than half his sentence, Exantus was released on parole, prompting the Tipton family to speak out against the decision.

“You took a human being’s life, not just a human being, a 6-year-old boy who had yet to even begun, to begin to live,” Logan’s father, Dean Tipton, told WLEX. “You know, so my thing is, mentally ill or not, you should be… you take a life. Your life should be at least life in prison without the possibility of parole.”

Federal officers quickly intervened, appearing to detain the attacker and escort the conservative man away.

Trump Says Israel Stopped Bombing Gaza To Give Peace Deal A ‘Chance To Be Completed’– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump noted Israel has “temporarily stopped the bombing” to “give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed” in a Truth Social post Saturday.

Trump urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza on Friday as he gave Hamas an ultimatum to accept the terms of a peace deal by Sunday at 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The terrorist group tentatively agreed to release the remaining hostages and relinquish power with certain conditions, though Trump urged Hamas Saturday to “move quickly” or “all bets will be off.”

“I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed,” Trump wrote. “Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!”

Hamas said there could be an agreement to relinquish its power and release the remaining hostages, though it also noted that other terms of the peace deal would need further discussion and to be in accordance with a “unanimous Palestinian stance,” multiple outlets reported Friday.

“If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas,” Trump wrote Friday.

The Times’ Reporting on Trump’s Circle Draws Accusations of Bias– dailycaller.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The New York Times’ September 26 article on Steve Witkoff and his son Alex reads less like a work of investigative reporting and more like a hit job crafted to create smoke where no fire exists. Written by Debra Kamin with Bradley Hope, the story alleged that while Steve Witkoff served as a U.S. envoy in cease-fire talks, his son pitched a Gulf investment fund to sovereign wealth groups in Qatar and beyond. The framing suggested impropriety. The facts, however, did not.

Attorneys for the Witkoffs quickly filed a formal complaint to the Times standards editor, outlining what they called “severe violations” of the paper’s own ethical handbook. The letter documented how the story expanded allegations beyond what was presented to the family in advance, truncating denials and ignoring verifiable evidence about prior financings. One of the clearest examples was Kamin’s pre-publication inquiry, which mentioned Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The published piece, however, added the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, nations never raised beforehand, and denied the Witkoffs the opportunity to respond.

The complaint also noted how the story misstated key facts: a $615 million Park Lane loan described as if Witkoff were personally on the hook (it was non-recourse debt), claims that he “escaped financially unscathed” while investors lost hundreds of millions, and financing described as Qatar-backed that was in reality an insurance vehicle unrelated to QIA. “This is not journalism,” the family’s attorney wrote, “it is the deliberate construction of a narrative in defiance of verifiable facts.”

Trump Should Start Raiding Antifa Terror Cells– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Soon after the assassination of Charlie Kirk at the hands of a deranged leftist, President Donald Trump took the long-overdue step of designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

As part of that order, Trump declared, “All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa.”

In a show of defiance against the new order, Antifa thugs assaulted a federal building in Eugene, Oregon, pounding on doors and harassing employees. Law enforcement dispersed the group and detained five of the besiegers. While the initial response was decisive, it was ultimately a reaction to an Antifa offensive, not a proactive measure against the organization.

The leftist media love to pretend that Antifa is just an “idea” that has no real structure, logistics, or national leadership, but the protests, riots, and attacks over the last few years have proven without a doubt that Antifa is both highly organized and coordinated. In the wake of the violent attacks on conservatives by left-wing radicals over the last month, it’s past time for the Trump administration to take decisive action and crush the Antifa cells embedded across the country.

The United States has dealt with mass left-wing violence before, perhaps most famously in the late 1960s and early ’70s when radical groups like the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army unleashed a wave of terror and murder. But many of the perpetrators of that violence ended up being rewarded for their wanton destruction and disregard for human life. Weather Underground co-founders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn became distinguished professors and helped launch Barack Obama’s political career, while Assata Shakur, though she spent decades in exile in Cuba after her escape from prison, became a leftist icon in the same vein as Che Guevara.
