Mike Johnson Blasts Democrats’ Government Shutdown Hypocrisy– www.breitbart.com

Excerpt:

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put the Democrats on blast with their own words, showing their hypocrisy as they protested against previous government shutdowns while refusing to put a stop to the looming shutdown that will occur at midnight Tuesday if they do not compromise with Republicans.

Johnson has the following video playing on loop on a television outside his office in the U.S. Capitol, pointing out the blatant contradictions of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more:

“It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the House floor in 2019.

Almost exactly one year ago, Schumer apparently cared about how the government shutdown that he is currently hell-bent on forcing would impact average Americans.

Among Gaza’s latest dead were a mother and her six children who died in a missile strike on their apartment block in Deir al-Balah, in the centre of the enclave. More victims were injured in that attack and three people were killed in an Israeli strike on their tent in a coast-side camp complex of refugees in al-Mawsi.

Others died in large scale attacks across the Strip that intensified from dawn onwards on Tuesday morning. Just hours before the latest Israeli onslaught, at midnight on Monday Hamas was handed the written peace proposal which has emerged as an ultimatum. Earlier US President Donald Trump the militants have just “three of four days” to agree to the deal. If the document is agreed it will be the closest the Middle East has been to peace since war broke out with a bloody Hamas attack on southern Israel in 2023.

Why Democrats Are Backing An Illegal Alien To Run Iowa Schools– thefederalist.com

State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release.

ICE says Roberts is not only an illegal alien from Guyana who was working illegally, but also that he fled arrest in a school district-owned car and was in illegal possession of a loaded gun and hunting knife when agents finally nabbed him. The school board voted in secret to select Roberts as the “first person of color” to assume the Des Moines superintendency in 2023. The noncitizen also holds a Maryland Democrat voting registration.

NASA alert! Giant house-sized asteroid 2025 SA3 set to zoom past Earth at 18,000 mph; here’s what you need to know |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Excerpt:

The night sky has long fascinated humanity, offering both beauty and mystery. Occasionally, it delivers something far more extraordinary—like an asteroid making its way toward Earth. On September 30, 2025, NASA confirmed that asteroid 2025 SA3, a space rock measuring about 54 feet (16.5 meters) in diameter, is traveling on a trajectory that will bring it relatively close to our planet. Moving at 18,073 miles per hour (29,080 km/h), this asteroid has captured the attention of scientists, astronomers, and the public alike.While 2025 SA3 is not large enough to threaten Earth, its approach serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of our solar system and the importance of monitoring near-Earth objects (NEOs). Observing such asteroids allows scientists to refine orbital predictions, study their composition, and prepare for potential future encounters.

Leftist media claims anti-trans ‘hate’ is the real issue after Charlie Kirk assassination– www.lifesitenews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Kirk was allegedly murdered by a sexually confused young man with a trans-identifying partner; he had also submerged himself in the vile underworld of twisted digital porn, developing a taste for “furry porn” and other perversions. Tyler Robinson, according to published text messages, allegedly chose to kill Kirk because of Kirk’s opposition to LGBT ideology, which he referred to as “hate” that could not be “negotiated with.”

Indeed, Kirk’s assassination was gleefully praised by many on the progressive Left who appeared to agree wholeheartedly with Robinson’s motivations. In the wake of mass shootings by trans-identifying killers at a Minneapolis Catholic school in August, at Covenant Christian school in Tennessee, and the recent revelation that the attempted assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as transgender, a pattern is becoming clear: there are LGBT extremists who believe their own rhetoric and are willing to kill.

It was only a matter of time before we were told in a mainstream publication that the real tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s death is that people might start to notice this pattern and recognize transgender ideology and rhetoric as a destabilizing and dangerous one.

CUNY’s ‘Global Antifa’ Course Encourages Students To Aid Antifa– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The City University of New York’s (CUNY) Graduate Center has an English course called “Global Antifa” that is “oriented towards militant co-research” developing “research projects that contribute to the work of global movements fighting fascism.”

Militant research, according to a paper from Newcastle University, “prioritises political struggle over the academic pursuit of knowledge” where the “researcher must become an active participant in a political movement, while still doing research – it essentially means devoting lots of time to working as an activist or as an organiser.”

In other words, that method would have students be active members of Antifa, not just embedding with them, but potentially participating in violence and destruction with them. It “seeks different ways to generate knowledge, with a particular focus on processes and methods, and it offers a blurring of the boundaries between activism/organising and research, between researcher and researched, and between theory and practice.”

According to the course syllabus, obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted by Defending Education, the class “surveys and draws on these antifascist traditions, linking them to a deep engagement with racial justice, anti-imperialist movements, intersectional feminism, and an analysis of the changing character and contradictions of capitalism” and “begins from the premise that racialized and colonized peoples have been at the forefront of theorizing, challenging, and dismantling fascism, white supremacy, and other modes of authoritarian rule over the last century.”

Excerpt:

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is pushing back against the legacy media narrative blaming the Trump administration for the current government shutdown, putting the responsibility on Democratic leaders in Congress.

Johnson told CNN’s Kaitlin Collins that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) decision to refuse to pass a short-term stopgap measure to fund the U.S. government for the next 7 weeks is a “very reckless decision.”

The Speaker emphasized that the House had done its job by send a clean continuing resolution (CR) to the Senate so that appropriators in Congress from both parties could continue to do their work on reconciling 12 separate appropriations bills.

Genocide Against Christians? That’s Not News– www.newsbusters.org

Excerpt:

As we approach the second anniversary of Hamas mercilessly slaughtering 1,200 human beings on October 7, 2023, our media remind us daily of the death toll of Palestinians, according to the “Gaza Health Ministry,” which is run by Hamas.

It’s outrageous that these media outlets are such receptive publicists for mass-murdering terrorists. But they have effectively reversed the polarity, and the people of Israel are painted as the most horrible ghouls on Earth.

On the latest Real Life with Bill Maher, the stridently atheist host said something surprising. “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches,” Maher said, referring to violent Islamists in Nigeria, such as Boko Haram.

“This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza,” he added.“ They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?”

That is wokeness at work. The Palestinians are the “marginalized” brown people that need to be “centered” in the media. We know how overwhelmingly anti-Israel our most prestigious campuses are. Meanwhile, African Christians who are black aren’t newsworthy.

Russia on the brink as insider fears ‘economic collapse’ | World | News– www.express.co.uk

Excerpt:

Russia is teetering on the edge of economic collapse as a result of systematic Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, a Russian propagandist has warned. Meanwhile, the leader of the puppet regime installed by Vladimir Putin in Crimea has said fuel can no longer be sold in quantities of more than 30 litres per person as ordinary people feel the pinch.

In a video clip posted on X, Maksim Kalashnikov, a propagandist, admitted the attacks are no longer sporadic but a systematic campaign aimed at shattering Russia‘s economy. He said: “The war is now waged not for the complete destruction of the Russian Federation, of course, but its collapse,” highlighting a 17% disruption in refining capacity. The fuel crisis was deepening, with the voices of those advocating rationed consumption growing louder, Kalashnikov explained.

He added: “I can state that the situation is deteriorating,” underscoring the severity.

Kalashnikov added: “Ukraine‘s strategy, targeting critical infrastructure like the Druzhba pipeline and Blue Stream, exploits Russia‘s vulnerability, pushing the nation towards an unprecedented economic crisis.

After Dallas ICE Shooting, Trump Slams the Left: ‘Stop Demonizing Law Enforcement’– townhall.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump has reacted to a shooting in Texas this morning at an U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement facility. A shooter killed two detainees and injured a third before he apparently killed himself.

Trump said that the shooter wrote “anti-ICE” on shell casings.

“I have been briefed on the deadly shooting at the ICE Field Office in Dallas, Texas.

“It has now been revealed the deranged shooter wrote “Anti-ICE” on his shell casings. This is despicable! The Brave Men and Women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs, and remove the “WORST of the WORST” Criminals out of our Country, but they are facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence, and attacks by Deranged Radical Leftists. This violence is the result of the Radical Left Democrats constantly demonizing Law Enforcement, calling for ICE to be demolished, and comparing ICE Officers to “Nazis.”

“The continuing violence from Radical Left Terrorists, in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, must be stopped. ICE Officers, and other Brave Members of Law Enforcement, are under grave threat. We have already declared ANTIFA a Terrorist Organization, and I will be signing an Executive Order this week to dismantle these Domestic Terrorism Networks. I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE AND AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT, RIGHT NOW! The Trump Administration is fully committed to backing Law Enforcement, Strong Borders, securing our Homeland, deporting Violent Illegal Criminals, and fully rooting out the Left Wing Domestic Terrorism that is terrorizing our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

 

The White House confirmed the details.

“I have been briefed on the deadly shooting at the ICE Field Office in Dallas, Texas. It has now been revealed the deranged shooter wrote “Anti-ICE” on his shell casings… I AM CALLING ON ALL DEMOCRATS TO STOP THIS RHETORIC AGAINST ICE & AMERICA’S LAW ENFORCEMENT.” – @POTUS

Trump’s dizzying corkscrews on Ukraine may wind up back where he began– www.thesun.co.uk

DONALD Trump doesn’t do U-Turns. He does rollercoaster loop-the-loops.

So with all his dizzying corkscrew turns and sudden policy swerves there is every risk he ends up back where he began – sucking up to tyrant Vladimir Putin and scorning President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Before Ukraine shows any relief at Trump’s sudden, full-throated support they will want to see concrete action.

That means weapons without restrictions for Kyiv and penalties for Moscow. Sanctions must hurt the Kremlin and threaten Putin’s rule.

Otherwise it’s just hot air.

It wasn’t so long ago Trump hailed Putin a “genius”. He rolled out the red carpet in Alaska last month.

He said Zelensky had “no cards”.

Zelenskyy tells U.N.: Stop Russia’s war or face dangerous arms race– japantoday.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged world powers to help stop Russia’s war in his country in a speech to the United Nations on Wednesday, warning of a dangerous arms race that he said the fighting was unleashing.

He called for global rules to curb the use of artificial intelligence in weapons while describing breakneck innovation in drones used in Ukraine. He also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking to expand his war beyond Ukraine.

“Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead,” he told the 193-member United Nations General Assembly.

His comments came a day after he met U.S. President Donald Trump at the United Nations, where Trump appeared to take a much tougher stance toward the Kremlin.

Trump said on Tuesday that Kyiv could retake all its occupied land from Russia in what would be an extraordinary battlefield reversal. He also endorsed the idea of shooting down Russian fighter jets that violate NATO airspace.

Zelenskyy said the advent of artificial intelligence meant the arms race under way was the “most destructive” in human history and voiced disappointment in what he said was the weakness of international law and cooperation.

Excerpt:

Despite Russian President Vladimir Putin’s feigned interest in a negotiated end to the Russia-Ukraine war during last month’s summit in Alaska with President Donald Trump, his subsequent actions make clear he has no interest in pursuing a settlement.

Since the meeting, Russian attacks on Ukraine have intensified, and a series of recent Russian jet and drone incursions into the airspace of NATO members Poland, Romania, and Estonia have deepened Western fears over the potential for a wider war — one Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has long warned of.

Although Putin denies he is gearing up for a confrontation with NATO, he has repeatedly shown that his word is meaningless.

As dramatic as the prospect of war with Russia may seem, Reuters reports that Germany and France are already making plans for precisely that scenario. According to Reuters:

Germany’s armed forces are planning how to treat a potential 1,000 wounded troops per day should a large-scale conflict between NATO and Russia break out, and amid long-standing warnings by the alliance that Moscow could be capable of launching an attack from 2029.

Ukrainian soldiers describe the drone-infested corridor covering about 10 km either side of the frontline as the “kill zone” because remotely piloted unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed by both sides can swiftly spot and neutralise targets.

Has Trump woken up to Putin’s Ukraine game?– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

President Donald Trump, on his Truth Social platform, stated on Tuesday that Ukraine, with the support of NATO and the European Union, could “fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form.” He described Russia as a “paper tiger” and said Ukraine “is only getting better.”

It is too early to call this a new policy. Trump has changed his position on Ukraine many times. He has alternated between sympathetic remarks about Russian President Vladimir Putin and critical statements about Ukraine, while also moving from skepticism toward Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to support for the Ukrainian leader. Still, if Trump follows through on his recent statement, the prospect of real peace becomes more plausible.

That’s because Moscow is unlikely to reconsider its maximalist position on Ukraine unless it faces the real prospect of a Ukrainian victory or heavy pushback by the United States. Providing Ukraine with new weapons, imposing secondary sanctions on Moscow, and the targeting of Russian oil revenues could convince the Kremlin that continued war is unwinnable. In turn, Putin might come to a more serious negotiation position.

Until now, however, Moscow’s version of peace has always meant Kyiv’s capitulation. The Kremlin’s goal is not simply to seize land but to erase Ukraine’s sovereignty, collapse its statehood, and diminish Western international power. On the battlefield, Russia has been unable to secure a decisive victory for three and a half years. If it also comes to understand that it cannot force concessions at the negotiating table, that may be the point at which it is prepared for a more practical conversation.

Fox Host Under Fire For Suggesting ICE Shooter Was MAGA-Aligned Without Evidence– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

A rush was on Wednesday morning to deduce the motive of a gunman who killed one and wounded three others at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday morning.

But a Fox News host stepped over the line for many viewers when he suggested the shooter may have been carrying out “his own form” of justice by targeting illegal immigrants being detained at the facility.

Over a “breaking news” chyron, Fox reporters discussed what may have motivated the individual, described in initial reports as a white male, before turning to Trey Gowdy for his thoughts.

“Talk to me about this moment, legally,” the anchor asks Gowdy.

“To know the motive, you’ve gotta know the target,” he replied while suggesting that authorities will try to scour the man’s online presence and interview his coworkers to “get a sense of if he was aiming at ICE agents.”

“Or… or, was he implementing his own form of due process for these detainees and killing them?” Gowdy speculated.

“I know people love motive and in this particular case I want to know the motive,” he continued before pivoting back to safe territory, talking about how ICE agents have been “vilified for years.”

Excerpt:

Modern Democrats remain historically unpopular because they offer nothing besides lies and projection of their own authoritarian inclinations.

Worse yet, the more they lose, the more they incite and resort to violence.

For instance, on Tuesday’s episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” — Democratic propagandist Stephen Colbert’s moribund late-night talk show — Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California broke into an insane hyperbolic rant about President Donald Trump and the “authoritarian” Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents — a rant that preceded a deadly attack on a Texas ICE facility by only a few hours.

“There was a shooting this morning at the Dallas @ICEgov Field Office,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem wrote Wednesday morning on the social media platform X. “Details are still emerging but we can confirm there were multiple injuries and fatalities. The shooter is deceased by a self-inflicted gun shot wound.”

“While we don’t know motive yet,” she continued, “we know that our ICE law enforcement is facing unprecedented violence against them. It must stop. Please pray for the victims and their families.”

After Newsom Targeted ICE, Shooter Tries To Murder ICE Agents– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Two people are dead after a shooter whose bullet casings reportedly had “anti-ICE messages” on them targeted an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas. Just hours earlier, California Gov. Gavin Newsom described immigration enforcement as “authoritarian” and suggested people would “push back” in an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

At least two individuals were killed with a third injured after a gunman opened fire on an ICE transportation vehicle in Dallas early Wednesday morning. Investigators announced that rounds found near the shooter — who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound — were inscribed with anti-ICE messaging. Notably, there was a bomb threat at the same facility last month, according to DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin.

Officials blamed increasingly inflammatory rhetoric directed toward ICE and law enforcement for the shooting.

Acting field office director for ICE Dallas Joshua Johnson said: “This is the second time I have had to stand in front of you and talk about a shooter at one of my facilities. And I think that the takeaway from all of this is that the rhetoric has to stop. There are people out there who are seeing what is being placed online, and they’re coming and they’re doing acts of violence against ICE employees. So that’s kind of all I have for today is that it’s just got to stop. It’s dangerous. And people are losing their lives.”
