Democrats won in key races in this off-year election, but it wasn’t without controversy, as Mike Lindell posted on X: “What Happened Last Night Wasn’t an Election - It Was a Setup. Machines failed in red districts. Poll pads crashed. False bomb threats shut down precincts [in conservative areas of NY]. Voters were blocked in PA, NJ, and Ohio - all on cue.” Jason Miyares in VA adds, “Republicans had a lead. Then came the now-familiar fraud curve... the GOP was too busy funding influencers and pushing early voting to notice. This isn’t incompetence. It’s the system working exactly as designed.” Yes, the mail-in ballot fraud system is still alive and well. Inconvenient as it may be, only in-person voting with verifiable citizenship ID, on paper ballots and hand-counting is going to yield honest results. The big news is that New York elected an outright Socialist for Mayor, with voters turning out in the highest numbers since 1969. But some ballots with Mamdani’s name were printed twice. No wonder Mamdani prevailed. Democrats picked up governorships in Virginia and New Jersey, by double digit margins–which was expected. New Jersey has been a blue state for years, and Virginia has become one as the DC area dominates Virginia politics because Democrats are more likely to flock to the government for jobs.

Despite a recent U.S.-China agreement pausing some restrictions for a year, insiders say broader export controls remain in place.

“The U.S. had conducted over 1,000 nuclear tests,” Erath said Monday in an interview with Defense News. “We had all the data necessary to know how nuclear weapons work, to verify that U.S. nuclear weapons would work, and other people didn’t. So by stopping testing when we did, we sort of locked in an advantage in knowledge that persists to this day.”
“What Prop 50 does is it temporarily takes away the power from the independent redistricting commission to draw up congressional districts so the Legislature can do it, and they’re going to use that power to redraw the congressional districts,” von Spakovsky told The Daily Signal.
On TPUSA, Owens says Kirk raised internal concerns about finances a week before he was killed. She cites an internal memo dated September 2 in which Kirk named fundraiser Justin Strife chief operating officer and empowered him to lead a small “Doge” (efficiency) initiative. According to the memo Owens read aloud, the team’s mandate was to make TPUSA “more efficient,” “more cost-effective,” align goals with metrics, and “reshape company culture.” Owens frames this as Kirk preparing a mini-audit to examine where money was going and, she adds, where it was coming from. She says multiple insiders have since contacted her with tips about vendors, contracting practices, and potential conflicts, and she claims outside journalists have engaged forensic accountants to review TPUSA finances.

The broadcast trimmed Trump’s remarks to make it seem he said he would walk to the Capitol with his supporters to “fight, fight like hell.” In reality, Trump said he would walk to the Capitol to “cheer on” lawmakers opposing the certification. The “fight like hell” line came nearly an hour later, long after he vowed to head to the Capitol. Worse still, Trump had explicitly called on his supporters to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
The International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), a Nigeria-based NGO that produces detailed investigative reports on religious violence, estimates 125,000+ Christian deaths since 2009 (part of 185,000+ total civilian killings), with 7,087 killed in the first 220 days of 2025 alone, alongside 19,100 churches destroyed and thousands abducted.Others specify motives and take a nuanced approach. All of these groups, however, agree that Christians are vastly more likely to be killed due to militant violence than anyone else in Nigeria.

Trump made it clear to radical leftist lawmakers that keeping the government closed - now on its 35th day, a record - by refusing to vote on a clean resolution would mean the SNAP program would only resume once the government reopens. "It will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!" the president emphasized.
Of course, the one thing that is certain to prompt Trump to cross any and all red lines is knowing he should not do it... which is precisely why China is doing what it is doing. Ambassador to the US Xie Feng named i) Taiwan, ii) democracy and human rights, iii) China’s political system, and iv) development rights as Beijing’s four red lines, adding that “the most important thing is to respect each other’s core interests and major concerns.”
It was his service as vice president to the younger Bush that earned him the title of America's most powerful second in command, famously huddling in the basement of the White House to architect America's response to Al-Qaeda's devastating terror attack on America on September 11, 2001. Cheney proved an unabashed champion of America acting as the world's policing superpower, becoming the face of the neo-conservative movement inside the Republican Party.
As the federal government shutdown reaches its 35th day, the Trump administration has transferred $450 million from tariff windfalls to a nutrition program for women, infants, and children.

The judge emphasized that democratic protest rights can sometimes render otherwise unlawful actions lawful, even if disruptive. In other words, suspects who commit a clear crime (such as vandalizing an ancient heritage site) will not be punished as long as they support causes that the current government agrees with. UK patriots, on the other hand, will still get years in prison for posting memes on social media that are critical of mass immigration.
The result comes amid talk of new negotiations among senators and a new end date for a continuing resolution to fund the government.

The strategic city is considered to be "the gateway to Donetsk" - and its loss would be a huge blow to Ukraine's logistical abilities across the eastern front lines. Kiev has rejected Putin's claim to have the whole city surrounded and blockaded. "We are holding Pokrovsk," Ukraine’s army chief Oleksandr Syrskii wrote on Facebook Saturday. "A comprehensive operation to destroy and dislodge enemy forces from Pokrovsk is ongoing."
As for drone attacks, this number is in the thousands - with many of these likely being decoy drones, but also highly destructive suicide drones which often come in waves, overwhelming Ukraine's air defenses. "Russia also fired 5,298 long-range drones at Ukraine in October, the same data showed, down by around six percent on the number it fired in September but still close to record highs," AFP found.
