A federal judge ruled Thursday that New Jersey Democrat Representative LaMonica McIver must face trial for assaulting a federal law enforcement officer outside an immigration detention facility in Newark.

U.S. District Judge Jamel Semper denied McIver’s demand to drop two of the three charges leveled against her. The judge rejected the Democrat’s claims that the charges were excessive due to a motive of political retribution, and that because she is an elected official she is immune from prosecution, Bloomberg reported.

McIver was charged with assaulting, resisting, and impeding law enforcement officers during a riot at Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark in May.

The White House has announced a study that reveals Americans can expect to pay $1K less in federal taxes on average this year thanks to Trump. White House Press Secretary Katherine Leavitt declared, “According to a new study from Piper Sandler, which is out this week, tax filers can expect an extra $1,000 bump to their tax refund next year. We know these refunds will make a huge difference for Americans to help pay down their bills and use towards life’s expenses.”

The White House has revealed that millions of Americans may see a significant boost in their tax refunds next year, an estimated “extra $1,000 bump.”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed that the bump is thanks to President Donald Trump’s economic and tax policies.

Leavitt cited new research from investment bank Piper Sandler during a Thursday briefing, telling reporters the 2026 tax-filing season could deliver “a record-breaking tax refund season.”

On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the U.S. mint in Philadelphia struck it’s last-ever-penny. The move comes following a Presidential order. Every penny made costs 4 cents to make, costing the American taxpayer millions of dollars each year. In February, the President wrote “For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful!”

US Mint in Philadelphia to press final penny as the 1-cent coin gets canceled – ABC News

PHILADELPHIA — Back in 1793, a penny could get you a biscuit, a candle or a piece of candy. These days, many sit in drawers or glass jars and are basically cast aside or collected as lucky keepsakes.

But their luck is about to run out.

The U.S. Mint in Philadelphia is set to strike its last circulating penny on Wednesday as the president has canceled the 1-cent coin as the cost of making them became more than their value.

President Donald Trump has ordered its demise as costs climb to nearly 4 cents per penny and the 1-cent valuation becomes somewhat obsolete.

The International Olympic Committee will not allow men presenting as women to compete with women in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. In addition to trans “women,” women with unusually high masculine features will also not be allowed to compete.

The announcement came through an International Olympic Committee (IOC) statement, declaring the reason for the policy shift is because “An update was given by the IOC’s director of health, medicine and science to the IOC Members last week during the IOC commission meetings. The working group is continuing its discussions on this topic and no decisions have been taken yet.”

President Donald Trump has said that the US will deny visas for trans-identified males seeking to compete in woen’s sports at the 2028 games.

Current rules leave decisions on whether trans-identified males can compete in the women’s division up to each individual sport, however, the IOC under new president Kirsty Coventry is reportedly in discussions about changing this policy, per the Daily Mail.

After the BBC was exposed for releasing a documentary one week before the 2024 election that showed a deceptively edited video of President Trump, its top leadership is now being forced to resign. The video was clearly edited to make it appear President Trump was calling for an insurrection on January 6.

Some of the top casualties, so far, include BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness. While the UK left is doubling down on its defense of the indefensible, calls from rank-and-file British to ban the television license in light of their bias being clearly exposed have only increased.

Brendan O’Neill captures it well: If you come for Donald J. Trump, you better not miss. That’s a lesson the BBC just learned the hard way. The Beeb went after Trump, slurring him with vicious lies. It used its flagship current-affairs show to defame him as a fascistic monster who stirred up violence at the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. And the result of these outrageous libels has been not the fall of Trump, but the fall of the BBC. The Beeb thought it could drag down the leader of the free world — but ended up dragging its own reputation into the gutter, burying itself in its own Trump-phobic BS. It is hands-down the worst crisis Britain’s publicly funded broadcaster has ever faced…. The seriousness of this cannot be overstated. The BBC doctored the footage. It twisted the truth to serve ideological ends. These were Pravda levels of manipulation. The BBC’s London headquarters honors George Orwell with a statue outside the building (New York Post).

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accusing the Harris County Commissioners Court of redirecting more than $1.3 million tax dollars into the hands of Antifa organizations committing acts of terror on ICE agents. Paxton wrote, “We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration. Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from.”

President Donald Trump continues to strategically target political targets of the Democratic party for what seems to be a slow-drip pardoning process. IN this round, he pardoned dozens of people prosecuted by the DNC for daring to challenge the illegal mass mailer 2020 election (an illegality the courts have yet to even address, let alone rightly identify).

Among those pardoned include former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows, as well as lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Trump called the action “No MAGA left behind,” with his pardon attorney, Ed Martin, saying of the pardons, “President Trump is putting an end to the Biden regime’s communist tactics once and for all.”

Blurb:

President Donald Trump has announced “full, complete, and unconditional” pardons for those allegedly involved in the effort to arrange an alternate slate of electors and submit certificates of ascertainment indicating that Trump won the 2020 Electoral College vote in critical states.

According to the presidential proclamation shared by U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin early Monday morning in response to an older post stating, “No MAGA left behind,” pardons were also granted to individuals who attempted “to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in the 2020 Presidential Election.”

Martin signaled that Trump, unlike his predecessor, was directly involved in the pardon process, noting that the signatures on the pardons were “wet (not autopen),” meaning they were hand-signed.

More top officials of the Democratic Party’s insurrectionist lawfare machine now face subpoenas from a Florida grand jury. The Grand Jury is investigating the DNC’s insurrectionist “Operation Arctic Frost,” which sought to use the DOJ to destroy political opposition to the soviet-styled party, the Democratic Party.

Included in the list are former CIA Director John Brennan and two former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. These three were key leaders in the Progmerican operation intended to overthrow the republic and replace it with the Soviet Progmerica.

A federal grand jury in Florida has subpoenaed former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok and will soon be serving a number of other former Obama-era officials as part of the Justice Department’s ongoing probe into the Russian collusion hoax.

Strzok, the FBI’s former deputy assistant director of counterintelligence and Page, a former FBI lawyer, were served with federal subpoenas on Friday. Strzok played a leading role both in quashing the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server in 2016, and was later instrumental in the formation of Crossfire Hurricane, the bureau’s official title for the investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election on behalf of President Donald Trump.

The U.S. 6th District Court has ruled an Ohio school district does not have a right to punish students for not using the “preferred” pronouns of students, including transgendered students.

Olentangy Local School District Board of Education that the defendant “did not demonstrate that the use of the pronouns to refer to transgender and nonbinary students would ‘materially and substantially disrupt school activities or infringe on the legal rights of others in the school community.’”

One of the main instigators of a Texas law that banned sex shows for kids, including drag shows, is celebrating the 5th circuit’s ruling upholding that same law. Sarah Gonzalez, Vice President of Texas Family Project, was one of the main drivers behind the creation and passage of the bill.

She said of the ruling, “As I said, it has been tied up in the courts for years and we have been waiting for this moment. It is upheld. In the state of Texas, you cannot dance provocatively and sexually in front of young children. Obviously, we worked very hard to expose these all-ages shows that were happening in the state of Texas. Those exposés, those videos, were instrumental in the fight to prevent this from happening. I worked directly with legislators to craft the language of this bill. So this is very, very personal for me.”

A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows 52% of Americans want former Biden aids connected to the auto pen scandal prosecuted. 32% said they disagreed, while 17% said they weren’t sure. Another Rasmussen Reports poll shows 55% of U.S. voters “consider it likely that, when Biden was president, members of his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without Biden’s knowledge.”

Mike Howell, a leading investigator in the Biden autopen scandal, told The Federalist last week that “investigating is no longer good enough. We need accountability.”

A majority of Americans agree, according to a new Rasmussen Reports poll.

The national telephone and online survey of 1,157 likely voters finds 52 percent of respondents believe former President Joe Biden’s aides tied to the suspect use of the autopen should be criminally prosecuted. Less than a third of voters (32 percent) disagree, while 17 percent of those surveyed said they are not sure whether prosecutions are in order. The survey was conducted Oct. 28-30.

Last week’s report from the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform provides copious evidence of the former president’s incredibly shrinking cognitive and physical abilities, his “inner circle of loyalists attempting to mislead the nation to ignore what people’s eyes plainly showed them,” and the constitutional crisis his decline and the cover-up created.

Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) has officially filed articles of impeachment against Progmerican Judge James Boesberg for the role he allegedly played in the Jack Smith run insurrectionist operation Arctic Frost.

The articles read, in part, “Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation project codenamed ARCTIC FROST.”

Gill told Fox News, “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors.”

In a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump has the constitutional authority to end the Biden-era non-binary option on passports. The ruling struck down lower court rulings halting the order.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued to the Supreme Court, “The President’s choice to revert to prior policy and rely on biological sex—a choice that bound the State Department—should be the last place for novel equal-protection claims or Administrative Procedure Act objections.”

The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, allowed President Trump to enforce a new policy that has ended the use of the “X” marker on passports. The high court issued the decision in an unsigned order.

President Trump signed an executive order shortly after his inauguration, which directed agencies like the State Department and Homeland Security to issue IDs, including passports, visas, and Global Entry cards, based solely on biological sex assigned at birth.

This reversed prior allowances for self-selected genders, including “X” for unspecified. The anti-American ACLU represented transgender individuals who sued over the Trump Administration’s passport policy. Two liberal district court judges struck down the Trump Administration’s new passport policy.

As humanity moves closer to merging with machines, allegedly, researchers from Binghamton University. New York, claim to have developed a method to create “living metal.” The team was led by Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi. They aim to create a composite that would be reactive to the environment, self-healing, and highly customizable.

The applications are numerous, and some might emerge as understanding of the “living metal” evolves. The medical field could see the earliest benefits as the material begins to be used for numerous life-saving applications.

Led by Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi, this research centers on the development of living liquid metal composites embedded with electrogenic endospores, presenting a compelling fusion of material science, biology, and electrical engineering…

In their experimental research, the team meticulously examined the compatibility of endospores within the liquid metal environment. Endospores are known for their resilience and ability to survive extreme conditions. By integrating them into a liquid metal matrix, the researchers aimed to create a composite that could potentially self-repair and adapt, offering a host of advantages for bioelectronic devices. This self-healing capability could lead to more durable and reliable electronics that are less prone to failure.

Lights can maximize plants for optimal growing. One of the surest ways for humanity to have sustainable flourishing is to be able to grow food, and even raw materials, indoors. Limitations on hydroponics, the prevailing method for indoor growing, has kept it from becoming a dominant source for food. Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota are developing a new type of hydroponics that will reduce water needs by 10% and optimize plants for maximal nutrition and minimal grow times.

Assistant Professor Nate Eylands describes the use of lights in this new hydroponics, “Quantum dots are little nanoparticles, and they absorb photons of light and change that photon into a different photon. Say you have blue light coming in, it might be red light coming out of it. So, what we’re doing is taking a liquid quantum dot and we’re spraying it on some of these plants. You can’t tell which ones of them have it. And then on the leaf surface, they are absorbing that photon, say a blue photon, and converting it to a red photon. And that might speed up the process of photosynthesis at different stages of the plant growth.”

At the University of Minnesota, researchers are experimenting with new technology to help growers use less water and produce more food — but all indoors — and it’s opening a new field of opportunity to change the way food is grown…

… assistant professor Nate Eylands… says hydroponic systems like this use a fraction of the water compared to traditional agriculture….

“Quantum dots are little nanoparticles, and they absorb photons of light and change that photon into a different photon,” Eylands says. “Say you have blue light coming in, it might be red light coming out of it. So, what we’re doing is taking a liquid quantum dot and we’re spraying it on some of these plants. You can’t tell which ones of them have it. And then on the leaf surface, they are absorbing that photon, say a blue photon, and converting it to a red photon. And that might speed up the process of photosynthesis at different stages of the plant growth.”

By altering the light spectrum, researchers hope to speed the flowering on these plants — boosting yields and making indoor production more efficient.

Federal officials are charging more than a dozen law enforcement officers from Mississippi and Tennessee with accepting bribes from FBI agents disguised as cartel members. One of the worst offenders and best examples of the crimes being charged is Washington County Sheriff Milton Gaston. According to the indictment, he received “multiple monetary payments for his blessing for the cartel to operate in his county and use his deputies to protect the cartel’s illegal drug trafficking.”

All of the defendants agreed to “escort runs,” which the indictment claimed “ they were protecting the transportation of 25 kilos of cocaine, sometimes referred to as ‘birds,’ or, on October 5, 2023, the transportation of illegal narcotics proceeds, during the course of the investigation to build trust with the corrupt law enforcement officers, to lay the groundwork for future runs, and to take other action to further the drug trafficking conspiracy.”

Ofcom, the United Kingdom’s communications regulator has recently declared that Americans are not protected from UK prosecution for violating their soviet-styled speech laws on social media reaching their citizens. So far, talk of bills being written to deal with this foreign intrusion on American sovereignty is all that’s been seen in response to this assertion by the UK.

The claim came effectively in an ongoing lawsuit in which Ofcom argued, “We also note 4chan’s claim that it is protected from enforcement action taken by Ofcom because of the First Amendment to the US Constitution. However, the First Amendment binds only the US government and not overseas bodies, such as Ofcom, and therefore, it does not affect Ofcom’s powers to enforce the Act in this case.”

A document from the Vatican is recommending churches do not use the phrase “Mediatrix of ALL Graces,” claiming Revelation does not validate the term and it puts on “limits that do not favor a correct understanding of Mary’s unique place.  Catholics argue the OPPOSITE is true, it is the Vatican LIMITING Mary’s powers.

Catholics fighting back site an encyclical on the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX in 1849 that claimed, “God has committed to Mary the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is His will, that we obtain everything through Mary.”

Protestants would dispute both the papal and the traditional Catholic claims on the nature of Mary, citing, Luke 11:27-28, “As he said these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!’ But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’”

On the contrary, the doctrine that all graces come to us through the mediation of the Blessed Virgin has been taught many times by the Successors of St Peter.

The FCC is considering abolishing what has been called the third rail in broadcasting politics, the national ownership cap. This cap is set at 39%, which means station owners cannot own more than 39% of the affiliates of a national broadcaster’s network.

For the media establishment, this is like touching the third rail. For generations, from Dan Rather to Jimmy Kimmel, Americans have been force-fed a steady diet of liberalism from the big three television channels.

Ending the ownership cap would allow conservative local broadcasters to compete with the likes of networks ABC and force broadcasts to actually reflect the country’s values.

R.I.P. TEEN VOGUE’S POLITICS SECTION

Teen Vogue is on death’s doorstep. Five years after the print magazine was discontinued, parent company Condé Nast announced Monday that Teen Vogue would be absorbed by sister publication Vogue and would focus on topics including “career development and leadership,” the New York Times reported

“I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers on other sections, and today is my last day,” a Teen Vogue politics reporter with “they/them” pronouns said on X. “Certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.”

Teen Vogue made a deliberate pivot during the era of Trump to focus on progressive politics and “female empowerment” while moving away from fashion, beauty, and pop culture. The shakeup gained national attention when journalist Lauren Duca published an article accusing President Donald Trump of “gaslighting” America and had a contentious interview with then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, which we covered previously on this Substack. 

In the years following, Teen Vogue glorified radical progressive politics, leaning into or perhaps driving the increasing gender-based political divide among young voters. The publication consistently decentered women in favor of transgender and LGBTQ+ activism (see this profile of Elon Musk’s trans “daughter”). When women were the focus, it was to promote limitless abortion, Girl Bossing by violently fighting “fascism,” rejecting one’s family over political disagreements, sexual promiscuity, and steering women away from femininity and healthy long-term relationships.

Allies of the Sudanese Army, the “Joint Forces,” stated the rebels  “committed heinous crimes against innocent civilians in the city of El-Fasher, where more than 2,000 unarmed citizens were executed and killed on Oct 26 and Oct 27, most of them women, children and the elderly”.

Pro-democracy activists, meanwhile, said El-Fasher residents had endured “the worst forms of violence and ethnic cleansing” since the RSF claimed control.

A video released by local activists and authenticated by AFP shows a fighter known for executing civilians in RSF-controlled areas shooting a group of unarmed civilians sitting on the ground at point-blank range.

The paramilitaries have a track record of atrocities, having killed as many as 15,000 civilians from non-Arab groups in the West Darfur capital of El-Geneina.

The army, which has been fighting the RSF since April 2023, has also been accused of war crimes.
