Previous edition 30 Sept.: U.S. to Send Thousands of Extra Troops, Fighter Jets to Middle East;  Israeli Strikes Hit Beirut Suburbs

Iran hits Israel with salvo of ballistic missiles; Israel vows 'painful response' <https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-military-has-begun-limited-raids-against-hezbollah-targets-border-area-2024-09-30/> | 1 Oct 2024 | Iran fired a salvo of ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday in retaliation for Israel's campaign against Tehran's Hezbollah allies in Lebanon, and Israel vowed a "painful response" against its enemy. Alarms sounded across Israel and explosions could be heard in Jerusalem and the Jordan River valley after Israelis piled into bomb shelters. Reporters on state television lay flat on the ground during live broadcasts. Israeli army radio said nearly 200 missiles had been launched into Israel from Iran. Israel's military later sounded the all-clear and said residents were free to leave their shelters. But Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the attack would have consequences, as did Israel's U.N. Ambassador Danny Danon. "As we have previously made clear to the international community, any enemy that attacks Israel should expect a painful response," Danon said in a statement.

Israeli airspace is closed amid Iran attack, as Jordan, Iraq also shut their airspace <https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/israeli-airspace-is-closed-amid-iran-attack-as-jordan-iraq-also-shut-their-airspace/> | 1 Oct 2024 | The Airports Authority announces that all flights arriving and departing from Ben Gurion airport are suspended amid a massive missile attack from Iran. Israel's Aviation Authority says Israel's airspace is closed. Flights are redirected to alternative destinations outside of Israel. Jordan and Iraq also announce that their airspace was temporarily closed. Reuters reporters say they witnessed several interceptions in Jordanian airspace.  

IDF says it intercepted 'a large number' of the 180 ballistic missiles launched from Iran <https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-it-intercepted-a-large-number-of-the-180-ballistic-missiles-launched-from-iran/> | 1 Oct 2024 | The IDF says that it intercepted "a large number" of the 180 ballistic missiles launched by Iran at Israel this evening. Israel's air defenses were "effective," the IDF says. The U.S. also participated in the defense of Israel, both by detecting the threat from Iran and intercepting some of the missiles, according to the military. The IDF says there are "isolated" impacts in central Israel and several more impacts in southern Israel. There is no damage to the "competence" of the Israeli Air Force in the attack, and the IAF's planes, air defenses, and air traffic control are operating normally, according to the military.  

Six murdered in Jaffa terror shooting, many more wounded <https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-822839> --Nine Israelis wounded in varying degrees --Two terrorists shot dead by security forces | 1 Oct 2024 | Six people were murdered and at least nine wounded, as well as a dog, in a shooting terror attack in Jaffa, in central Israel, on Tuesday evening, Magen David Adom reported. At least four people were reported critically wounded. The shooting occurred near a light rail station in the central Israeli city. Two terrorists who were observed exiting the train were shot dead by security forces.

NATO member calls for use of force against Israel <https://www.rt.com/news/604993-un-intervene-israel-erdogan/> --Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has urged the UN to stop the Jewish state's war in Gaza | 1 Oct 2024 | The United Nations should approve the use of armed force to stop Israel's war in Gaza, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday. He sharply criticized the Israeli operation in the Palestinian enclave and the ongoing airstrikes on Lebanon. Almost a million Lebanese civilians have been displaced due to Israeli attacks, Erdogan said after a cabinet meeting in Ankara. At least 1,300 people have been killed in just over a week, according to the Lebanese authorities. "Standing up for Palestine and Lebanon means standing up for humanity, for peace, for the culture of coexistence of different faiths," the Turkish leader said.

Israeli airstrikes kill at least 37 in Gaza, Palestinian medics say <https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-bombardment-kills-least-21-gaza-fighting-rages-2024-10-01/> | 1 Oct 2024 | Israeli airstrikes killed at least 37 people in Gaza on Tuesday, local medics said and fighting ramped up, as the Israeli military said it had been targeting command centres used by its Islamist militant foe Hamas. Palestinian health officials said at least 13 people, including women and children, were killed in two Israeli strikes on two houses in Nuseirat, one of the enclave's eight historic refugee camps. There has been no immediate comment by the Israeli army on the two strikes. Another strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinian families in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City killed at least seven people, medics added.

U.S. secretly approved Lebanon escalation - Politico <https://www.rt.com/news/605021-us-approved-lebanon-campaign/> --Washington gave Israel the green light to mount an offensive, in contrast to its public calls for a ceasefire, sources have claimed | 1 Oct 2024 | The US government quietly approved Israel's military campaign in Lebanon, despite publicly urging the Jewish state and militant group Hezbollah to seek a ceasefire, Politico has reported, citing insider sources. Israel has waged a week-long bombing campaign in Lebanon, assassinating most of the Hezbollah leadership, and is in the process of what it describes as a "limited incursion" into its northern neighbor. Over 1,000 people, including many civilians, have been killed and over one million displaced... Joe Biden on Monday reiterated his public calls for a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, telling reporters at the White House: "I'm comfortable with them stopping."

Israel goes in: IDF confirms boots on the ground in southern Lebanon as bombs rain down from the sky <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13909477/Israel-goes-IDF-confirms-boots-ground-southern-Lebanon-bombs-rain-sky-day-ratcheting-tensions.html> --Netanyahu issues stark warning to Iran | 30 Sept 2024 | The Israeli military last night confirmed its troops had launched a long-awaited ground invasion of Lebanon, as fears mount that the escalation could plunge the Middle East into an all-out war. After a day of ratcheting tensions in the war-torn region, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) announced that it had begun "localised and targeted raids" against Hezbollah enemies in southern Lebanon. "These targets are located in villages close to the border and pose an immediate threat to Israeli communities in northern Israel," the military added. The IDF said that its incursion, dubbed "Operation Northern Arrows," will continue "according to the situational assessment and in parallel to combat in Gaza and in other arenas." Amid the increased violence, Syrian state-run media also confirmed that one of its television presenters was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Damascus.

North Carolina reeling from devastating Helene as death toll climbs: 'Never seen anything quite like this' <https://www.foxnews.com/media/north-carolina-reeling-devastating-helene-death-toll-climbs-never-seen-anything-quite-like-this> | 1 Oct 2024 | North Carolina residents are detailing how their communities have been "decimated" by Hurricane Helene's historic storm surge as hundreds remain unaccounted for. Swannanoa resident Zach Dasher said his town, located just 10 miles east of hard-hit Asheville, endured "complete devastation" as the death toll from the storm continues to climb. "Our little town here has just been absolutely decimated," Dasher told Fox & Friends First on Tuesday. "I'm talking about not only have the buildings gone on one side of the road, the ground that the building sat on is no longer there. It's complete devastation. Lots of people lost their lives. Folks from our church that were helping rescue people out of the floods, they saw people lose their lives...I've never seen anything quite like this," he continued. 

Death toll triples in Asheville area after Hurricane Helene guts North Carolina: 'There were bodies in the trees' <https://nypost.com/2024/09/30/us-news/death-toll-triples-in-asheville-area-after-hurricane-helene-guts-north-carolina/> | 30 Sept 2024 | The death toll from catastrophic flooding in the Asheville area of western North Carolina more than tripled on Monday to at least 40 -- as survivors in remote mountain towns described seeing the bodies of victims stuck in trees. Nationwide, there have been at least 133 fatalities from Hurricane Helene, which has cut a path of death and destruction across the Southeast since making landfall last Thursday. ?There were bodies in trees. They were finding bodies under rubble," said Alyssa Hudson, whose home of Black Mountain -- a village of 8,400 people about 12 miles from Asheville -- was all but destroyed. The rains smashed the mountains of Buncombe County, which contains Asheville, washing away whole communities in floodwaters and mudslides. Roadways were buried or dissolved altogether, leaving victims cut off from rescue crews.

Asheville, N.C., cut off from world; damage estimated $100B in South <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/09/29/asheville-n-c-cut-off-from-world-damage-estimated-100b-in-south/> | 29 Sept 2024 | Asheville and other parts of western North Carolina were cut off from the world this weekend, with no roads open into or out of the most populous city in the region and electricity and cell towers limited or inoperable. Fatalities from the storm Helene in the South were more than five dozen, and the Buncombe County numbers -- where Asheville is county seat -- were not included due to trouble reaching next of kin, said the Emergency Services director. Nearby Spruce Pine collected 24 inches of rain between Tuesday and Saturday, dwarfing the 11-plus in metro Atlanta in a 48-hour period that eclipsed records dating to 1878. Helene, a Category 4 hurricane when it hit the Big Bend of Florida on Thursday night, is forecast to leave behind between 95 billion and 110 billion in damage and economic loss.

8 migrant workers accused of looting in flood-ravaged Tennessee following Hurricane Helene - sheriff's office <https://nypost.com/2024/09/30/us-news/eight-migrants-accused-of-looting-in-flood-ravaged-tennessee/> | 30 Sept 2024 | A group of migrant workers allegedly looted properties in a washed-out part of Tennessee following the fury of Hurricane Helene on Saturday, according to a local sheriff's office. The eight men were captured by authorities in Washington County where devastating flooding wiped away homes and led to water rescues. The suspects are accused of looting in one of the county's flood zones, the county sheriff's office said. Three alleged criminals -- Jesus Leodan Garcia-Peneda, 51, Josue Berardo Ortis-Valdez, 30, and Ersy Leonel Ortis-Valdez, 33 -- were charged with burglary.

A historic strike is underway at U.S. ports - and the impact on global supply chains could be huge <https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/01/what-a-lengthy-us-port-strike-could-mean-for-global-supply-chains.html> --"We see the dominoes fall in multiple stages now." | 1 Oct 2024 | A massive dockworker strike at seaports on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts is expected to wreak havoc on global supply chains and the economy, with American consumers likely to notice shortages of popular products if the work stoppage lasts for a long time. Workers at ports stretching from Maine to Texas went on strike early Tuesday in a dispute over wages and automation. The action, which is likely to have severe consequences on ships carrying billions of dollars of cargo, is the first by the International Longshoremen's Association, or ILA, union in nearly half a century. Ocean supply chains have already been hit hard this year by conflict in the Red Sea, a lengthy drought affecting the Panama Canal, and the Baltimore bridge collapse. Even so, Peter Sand, chief analyst at ocean freight rate intelligence platform Xeneta, has said that given more than 40% of total "containerized goods" enter the U.S. via ports on the East and Gulf coast, "the stakes could not be higher."

California Governor Signs Law to Ban Local Voter ID Requirements <https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/california-governor-signs-law-to-ban-local-voter-id-requirements/> | 30 Sept 2024 | California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a bill into law on Thursday that bars local governments from enacting laws to require residents to show a valid form of identification in order to vote. The law is a direct response to a ballot initiative approved by voters in the coastal California city of Huntington Beach. In March, 53.4% of residents voted to adopt a ballot measure that requires all residents who want to cast a ballot in municipal elections to show a valid ID. But the measure runs afoul of [insane] state law and, after it passed, California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) and Secretary of State Shirley Weber (D) sued the city to block officials from enforcing it.

NY ballot measure aimed at protecting abortion could allow illegal migrants to vote, critics say: 'Trojan horse of epic proportions' <https://nypost.com/2024/09/30/us-news/ny-ballot-measure-could-allow-illegal-migrants-to-vote-critics-say/> | 30 Sept 2024 | A proposed referendum on New York's ballot aimed at protecting abortion rights could give illegal migrants the right to vote, according to a lawyer spearheading opposition to it. Westchester County-based constitutional lawyer Bobbi Anne Cox said Proposition 1, aka the Equal Rights Amendment, is being promoted as enshrining the right to an abortion in the state constitution. But she said that since the sloppily crafted proposed referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot...potentially allows for a host of serious other consequences, too. 

Famous Pittsburgh sandwich shop faces boycott over its treatment of JD Vance during campaign stop <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13903385/Pittsburgh-restaurant-Primanti-Bros-boycott-Campaign-JD-Vance.html> | 29 Sept 2024 | A well-known Pittsburgh sandwich store is now facing calls for a boycott after it turned vice presidential candidate Senator JD Vance away from its doors. On Saturday afternoon, Senator Vance tried to make a campaign stop at Primanti Bros in North Versailles, but he was rebuffed by staff who said they had not been given advanced notice. Store bosses did so even as multiple customers inside the store asked for Vance to be allowed inside so they could chat with him. After being denied entry, Vance reportedly ended up speaking with people in the parking lot outside. But the Vance supporters who filled Primanti Bros were furious with the way the restaurant had treated the vice presidential candidate. Footage taken inside the 90-year-old business showed many of Vance's supporters apparently calling for a boycott. In one video, a woman said that a manager had told the senator and his team that they would "call the police if [Vance] comes out [of his car]." "The kitchen crew's running out because everyone's cancelling their orders," she said.

Previous edition 1 Oct.: Iran hits Israel with salvo of ballistic missiles; Israel vows 'painful response?

Feds say there's no funds left to respond to hurricanes after FEMA spent $1.4B on migrants <https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/us-news/feds-say-theres-no-money-left-to-respond-to-hurricanes-after-fema-used-640-9m-this-year-on-migrants/> | 3 Oct 2024 | Homeland Security Secretary [and Grade "A" sociopath] Alejandro Mayorkas set off outrage Wednesday when he told reporters that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "does not have the funds" to see Americans through the rest of this Atlantic hurricane season -- after the agency spent more than 1.4 billion since the fall of 2022 to address the migrant crisis... Over two years, more than 1.4 billion has been committed from FEMA-administered programs to support non-federal entities that are taking care of migrants. DHS allocated 780 million for the migrant crisis last year through the FEMA Emergency Food and Shelter Program, which funds relief not associated with natural disasters, and the FEMA Shelter and Services Program, which was authorized in late 2022 by Congress to respond to the migrant crisis.  The 640.9 million spent this year comes solely from the Shelter and Services Program.

U.S. announces $700 million in aid for Ukraine's energy grid and more <https://www.wvtm13.com/article/us-announces-700-million-aid-ukraine-energy-grid/62156794> | 11 Sept 2024 | U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced more than 700 million in aid for Ukraine Wednesday during a visit to Kyiv, aiming to bolster the energy grid that Russia has repeatedly pounded ahead of an expected difficult winter. The announcement came while Blinken was on a rare joint tour with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy after the two top diplomats traveled together to the Ukrainian capital to underscore their commitment to the country in its war with Russia. Blinken said the assistance also would provide humanitarian support and pay for mine-removal operations.

Volunteer firefighter who rushed to help Hurricane Helene victims in his helicopter is threatened with arrest by local officials <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13917643/hurricane-helene-firefighter-threatened-arrest-jordan-seidhom.html> --"I was legal in what I was doing, and I was following all FAA guidelines and airspace guidelines. I was on private property." | 2 Oct 2024 | A volunteer firefighter using his own helicopter to help save Hurricane Helene victims was threatened with an arrest while halfway through helping an elderly couple. Jordan Seidhom, a former cop and volunteer firefighter, has been using his personal chopper to reach those cut off from rescue teams following the devastating storm. But while halfway through rescuing an elderly couple in Lake Lure, North Carolina, on Sunday, a senior official with the local fire department told him he would arrest him for doing so... Thirty minutes after of the arrest threat, a temporary flight restriction order was also implemented over Lake Lure, right where he and the official faced off. Seidhom believes that the move to have himself and other pilots pushed out of the rescue zone put peoples lives at risk. "I'm sorry, if I had to do it over again, I would have stopped and I would have rescued as many people until they decided they were going to arrest me.?

Hurricane Helene victims in NC are fending for themselves as response from Biden-Harris FEMA underwhelms <https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/us-news/north-carolina-hurricane-victims-slam-biden-harris-admin-as-fema-response-sputters/> | 3 Oct 2024 | Desperate residents of Hurricane Helene-ravaged Western North Carolina are relying on home-grown rescue efforts instead of waiting for the Biden-Harris administration's financially depleted FEMA to get its act together. Not content to hold out hope for help some fear might not arrive in time, a handful of grassroots rescue operations have sprung up to render assistance by air, land and even on four legs. With hundreds more missing in the remote, unforgiving terrain and communication services damaged or nonexistent, the search for survivors grows more dire with each passing hour. Local airports like City of Statesville Regional Airport and Hickory Regional Airport have transformed themselves into donation drop-off and delivery zones, courtesy of a few dozen volunteers lending their time, critical supplies and in some cases, their planes to the rescue effort.

Helene death toll rises to at least 227 across 6 states <https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/05/us/helene-death-toll-rises-saturday/index.html> | 5 Oct 2024 | The death toll from Helene has risen to at least 227 across six states, according to CNN's tally, after two more deaths were announced Saturday in South Carolina. Officials announced seven additional deaths in North Carolina earlier Saturday. The deaths from Helene by state as of Saturday are as follows: North Carolina, 113 people; South Carolina, 48 people; Georgia, 33 people; Florida, 20 people; Tennessee, 11 people; and Virginia, 2 people.

Kiev may have to accept loss of territory - Stoltenberg <https://www.rt.com/russia/605272-stoltenberg-ukraine-territories-finland/> --Ukraine could sacrifice some land in favor of ending the conflict, the former NATO chief said | 5 Oct 2024 | Ukraine may have to recognize the loss of some of its territory to Russia in favor of achieving peace and security guarantees, Jens Stoltenberg said in his first long interview after stepping down as NATO secretary general. Stoltenberg ended his 10-year tenure as the chief of the U.S.-led alliance on October 1. In a conversation with the Financial Times published on Friday, he said that Kiev may be forced to rethink seeing the restoration of the 1991 borders as a prerequisite for any peace deal. Stoltenberg suggested "a kind of new momentum" would come after the U.S. presidential election in early November, possibly ushering in "ways to try to get movement on the battlefield combined with movement around the negotiating table.?

Huge explosion from Israeli strikes in Beirut <https://www.rt.com/news/605303-beirut-explosion-strikes-idf/> --The IDF continued its bombing campaign in the early hours of Sunday | 5 Oct 2024 | The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) dropped more bombs on Beirut on Sunday, causing a large explosion in the Lebanese capital. The air raids continued into the night as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to redouble the fight against Hezbollah, which has been firing rockets and mortar shells into northern Israel. Al Jazeera correspondent Laura Khan reported "an absolutely massive explosion" in Beirut's southern suburbs, adding that she has seen at least two strikes. Videos posted to social media show a bright blaze followed by a powerful blast.

Israel has given no assurances it won't target Iran's nuclear facilities, top State Department official tells CNN <https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/04/politics/state-department-israel-no-assurances-irans-nuclear-facilities/index.html> | 4 Oct 2024 | Israel has not given assurances to the Biden administration that targeting Iran's nuclear facilities is off the table in retaliation for the Iranian ballistic missile strikes earlier this week, a top U.S. State Department official told CNN on Friday. The official added that it is "really hard to tell" if Israel will use the anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attacks to retaliate. "We hope and expect to see some wisdom as well as strength, but as you guys know, no guarantees," the official said when asked by CNN if Israel has assured the U.S. that Iran's nuclear sites are off the table. U.S. officials have voiced support for Israel responding to Iran's missile attack earlier this week, with multiple officials publicly saying there must be consequences. At the same time, officials have also voiced concerns about a regional conflagration as they grapple with an increasingly volatile Middle East.

Israel vows 'to target Iran's oil in missile attack revenge' after barrage from Tehran marked 'significant escalation' in crisis, as it edges ever closer to WWIII <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13914901/Israel-vows-target-Irans-oil-missile-attack-revenge-barrage-Tehran-marked-significant-escalation-crisis-edges-closer-WWIII.html> | 2 Oct 2024 | Israel is preparing a "significant retaliation" to Iran's 200-strong barrage of missiles last night that could target the Middle Eastern nation's lucrative oil facilities. The region is edging closer to all-out war that is already drawing in allies on both sides -- with British jets used to counter Iran's strikes, which were fired in retaliation to attacks on Lebanon in recent days. Reports suggest Israel, which has vowed to strike "powerfully" in response to Iran, could go after the country's oil facilities; Iran is the third biggest producer of crude oil in the OPEC group of oil producing countries. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who was on the phone with his Israeli counterpart Benjamin Netanyahu when the Iranian attack began, said: "I am deeply concerned that the region is on the brink and I am deeply concerned about the risk of miscalculation.?

Two California dairy workers infected with bird flu, latest human cases in U.S. <https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/us-news/two-california-dairy-workers-infected-with-bird-flu-latest-human-cases-in-us/> | 3 Oct 2024 | Two dairy workers in California were infected with bird flu, the 15th and 16th human cases detected this year in an ongoing outbreak affecting the nation's dairy cows, health officials said Thursday. The latest cases were found in workers who had contact with infected cattle in California's Central Valley, where more than 50 herds have been affected since August. The workers developed eye redness known as conjunctivitis and had mild symptoms. California health officials said the workers were employed at different farms and there is no known link between the two cases, suggesting that they were infected through animal contact, not by people.

Dem Party Lawyers File in Texas State Court to Appoint a Receiver Over Alex Jones 'the Person,' Violating the 13th Amendment Which Outlaws Indentured Servitude and Slavery <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/05/dem-party-lawyers-file-in-texas-state-court-to-appoint-a-receiver-over-alex-jones-the-person-violating-the-13th-amendment-which-outlaws-indentured-servitude-and-slavery/> | 4 Oct 2024 | The globalists are in full panic mode and are doing everything they can to take the number one American populist broadcast off of the air. Democratic party operatives are simultaneously attempting in federal and state court to close InfoWars forever. Most importantly, they have publicly filed to appoint a receiver over Alex Jones personally, a completely illegal move that violates the 13th Amendment's prohibition against slavery. (Video)

Vance Calls Out Democrats' First Amendment Crackdown: 'Harris Is Engaged in Censorship on an Industrial Scale' <https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/02/vance-calls-out-democrats-first-amendment-crackdown-harris-is-engaged-in-censorship-on-an-industrial-scale/> | 2 Oct 2024 | Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, called out Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., for wanting to implement a mass censorship regime, blocking Americans from practicing their First Amendment rights. "I believe we actually do have a threat to democracy in this country. Unfortunately, it's not the threat to democracy that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz want to talk about. It is the threat of censorship," Vance said at Tuesday night's vice presidential debate. "It's Kamala Harris saying that rather than debating and persuading fellow Americans, she would like to censor people who engage in misinformation. That's a bigger threat to democracy than anything we've seen in the last four years or 40 years." Walz has said in the past "there's not guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy," despite the fact that both "misinformation" and "hate speech" are entirely protected by the First Amendment.

Adam Schiff Demands Crackdown on Election 'Misinformation' After He Spent Years Spreading Russia Collusion Hoax <https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/02/adam-schiff-demands-crackdown-on-election-misinformation-after-he-spent-years-spreading-russia-collusion-hoax/> | 2 Oct 2024 | Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is demanding Big Tech censor so-called "misinformation" and "disinformation" ahead of the election. But just eight years ago, Schiff spread the most damaging election misinformation ever -- the Russia collusion hoax. In a letter sent Monday to the CEOs of several tech giants, including Meta, X, TikTok, and Google, Schiff demanded to know how the companies would censor free speech in order to save "democracy." [LOL!] The letter was signed by seven of Schiff's Democratic colleagues. But for years Schiff leveraged his role as the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee to leak unsubstantiated allegations and misleading information to the media about former President Donald Trump's alleged involvement with Russia.

Defiant Trump makes bold return to Butler, Pa., 'in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache' 3 months after first assassination attempt <https://nypost.com/2024/10/05/us-news/defiant-donald-trump-makes-bold-return-to-butler-pa-where-he-was-nearly-assassinated/> | 5 Oct 2024 | An undaunted former President Donald Trump returned Saturday to the Butler Farm Show grounds in Pennsylvania, where he came within a quarter inch of death just three months ago. "A very big thank you to Pennsylvania. We love, Pennsylvania, and as I was saying --," Trump said to a thunderous applause, while standing in front of bulletproof glass at the exact spot where he was shot nearly three months ago. "Tonight, I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and to the people of America. Our movement to make America great again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined and nearer to victory than ever before." Flanked by top MAGA stars, Trump hoped to galvanize his supporters in the crucial battleground state and transform the tragic memory of July 13 into a message of resilience, proving that he and his movement are more alive than ever, even as security concerns loom large.

Elon Musk speaks at Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania <https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/trump-butler-pennsylvania-rally-october-5> | 5 Oct 2024 | Tesla CEO Elon Musk took the stage at former President Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening. The entrepreneur was seeing wearing a black MAGA hat and listening intently to the former president's speech just before walking up to the podium. "Hi everyone, as you can see, I'm not just MAGA, I'm dark MAGA," Musk joked, a reference to the Dark Brandon meme of Joe Biden. "I want to say what an honor it is to be here and, you know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire, right?" he continued.

Trump's team pushes to scrap his Jan. 6 indictment one day after Jack Smith's evidence dump <https://nypost.com/2024/10/03/us-news/trumps-team-pushes-to-scrap-his-jan-6-indictment-one-day-after-jack-smiths-evidence-dump/> | 3 Oct 2024 | Former President Donald Trump?s legal team forged ahead with its bid to toss out the four-count 2020 election subversion indictment against him, just one day after prosecutors' scathing evidence dump against him was unsealed. Trump's team cited a June ruling from the Supreme Court in Fischer v. United States that curtailed the scope of the obstruction of an official proceeding charge used in the indictment against him. "The Superseding Indictment stretches generally applicable statutes beyond their breaking point based on false claims that President Trump is somehow responsible for events at the Capitol on January 6, 2021," his team wrote in a motion to dismiss based on statutory grounds. "The Special Counsel's Office seeks to assign blame for events President Trump did not control and took action to protect against."

Kamala Harris's husband Doug Emhoff 'forcefully slapped ex-girlfriend' in assault after date to gala <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13898791/Kamala-Harris-husband-Doug-Emhoff-accused-ex-girlfriend-slap.html> | 2 Oct 2024 | Kamala Harris's husband assaulted his ex-girlfriend, three friends have told Dailymail dot com. The Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, 59, allegedly struck the woman in the face so hard she spun around, while waiting in a valet line late at night after a May 2012 Cannes Film Festival event in France. One of her friends told DailyMail dot com that the woman called him immediately after the incident, sobbing in her cab, and described the alleged assault. DailyMail dot com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym "Jane." A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time. A third friend told DailyMail dot com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations.

Tim Walz staggered by cool JD Vance, admits 'I'm a knucklehead' during genial VP debate <https://nypost.com/2024/10/01/us-news/tim-walz-staggered-by-cool-jd-vance-admits-im-a-knucklehead-during-genial-vp-debate/> | 1 Oct 2024 | Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz stunned watchers of Tuesday night's vice presidential debate as he nervously fidgeted, frowned and even called himself a "knucklehead" -- while his Republican counterpart, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, gave a steady and lawyerly presentation and was widely seen as the victor. The largely good-natured forum, hosted by CBS News, featured the two candidates agreeing with each other repeatedly and expressing warm personal sentiments -- avoiding the blistering personal attacks that were part of both presidential debates earlier this year. Walz, 60, who has honed a folksy demeanor on the campaign trail, was noticeably nervous and misspoke repeatedly as he wrung his hands, took frantic notes, and his eyes darted around the CBS studio.

Longshoremen Pause Strike Until January 15, Throw Kamala Harris a Lifeline <https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/10/03/longshoremen-pause-strike-january-15-throw-kamala-harris-lifeline/> | 3 Oct 2024 | The dockworkers' strike that could have severely hurt the American economy and the supply chain weeks before an election has been paused until January 15, diverting what could have been a political catastrophe for Kamala Harris. "The union that represents tens of thousands of East Coast dockworkers and the shipping industry reached a tentative agreement on wages and are extending an expired contract through Jan. 15, 2025," announced Politico on Thursday. The union said on Facebook, "Effective immediately, all current job actions will cease and all work covered by the Master Contract will resume." The threat of a strike could have severely hurt the American supply chain, which would have dramatically affected the economy going into the November presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Upon news that the strike would be going forward earlier this week, Americans began to panic-buy essential goods.

Seattle judge releases accused killer 27 hours after 65-year-old military veteran stabbed to death <https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-judge-releases-accused-killer-27-hours-after-65-year-old-military-veteran-stabbed-death> --K'Shawn Konscience Jimerson, 19, was released on bail one day after his arrest | 2 Oct 2024 | A judge in Washington state released a teen one day after his arrest for allegedly stabbing a 65-year-old veteran to death at a home. As first reported by FOX 13 Seattle, the Renton Police Department said 19-year-old K'Shawn Konscience Jimerson called 911 just after 2 p.m. and told the operator that he had stabbed someone and would be standing "outside with the knife." ...When law enforcement officers were asked if they objected to Jimerson's release, they marked "yes" on a court form, stating, "Jimerson, who is 19, stabbed a 65-year-old man with a large knife during an argument." At his first court appearance, 27 hours after his arrest, Judge Michelle Gehlsen initially set bail at 50,000 despite finding probable cause for second-degree murder and the prosecutor asking for 2 million bail. Police said Jimerson posted bail and has been released.

BioLab plant fire: More than 90K sheltering in place in Georgia as 'strong chemical smell' enters Atlanta area <https://www.foxnews.com/us/biolab-plant-fire-more-than-90k-sheltering-place-georgia-strong-chemical-smell-enters-atlanta-area> | 30 Sept 2024 | Authorities are now reporting a "strong chemical smell" in the Atlanta area following a chemical plant fire east of Georgia's capital city that has forced more than 90,000 residents to remain sheltered in place Monday after the "harmful irritant chlorine" was detected in the air. The Atlanta-Fulton County Emergency Management Agency announced this morning that it is continuing "to investigate the numerous reports of a haze and strong chemical smell across Fulton County, likely related to the BioLab fire" that broke out in Conyers on Sunday. BioLab is a company that produces pool chemicals, according to its website. The government in Rockdale County, where Conyers is located, ordered residents to remain sheltered in place on Monday after testing from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division revealed the presence of the "harmful irritant chlorine" in the "air emitting from the incident location of BioLab."

Previous edition 5 Oct.: Feds say there's no funds left to respond to hurricanes after FEMA spent 1.4B on migrants

Hurricane Milton supercharges into monster 180mph storm so quickly experts call for it to be given unprecedented Category 6 status: 'This is nothing short of astronomical' <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13932985/hurricane-milton-live-updates-tracker-path-florida.html>  | 8 Oct 2024 | Hurricane Milton is set to make landfall in Florida as a Category 5 hurricane on Wednesday morning - and it's expected to be even worse than Helene. Six million residents are under hurricane watch warnings and many have been ordered to evacuate as "life-threatening" fifteen-foot-high storm surges and winds of up to 175mph barrel in. The National Weather Service in Tampa Bay has said, "If the storm stays on the current track, it will be the worst storm to impact the Tampa area in over 100 years." Mayor Jane Castor has warned the city's nearly 400,000 residents that if they don't evacuate, "you are going to die." Startling spaghetti models show the hurricane's deadly path covering vast swathes of Florida. Fox 35 Orlando Meteorologist Noah Bergren posted on X: "8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce."

Category 5 Milton explodes as winds hit 180 mph - much of Florida Gulf Coast evacuating <https://www.miamiherald.com/news/weather/hurricane/article293574674.html> | 7 Oct 2024 | Florida's highways were filled with evacuees on Monday, streaming away from the Gulf Coast ahead of what is expected to be a catastrophic landfall from Hurricane Milton in just a few days. To their west, in the open Gulf of Mexico, Milton exploded into a frightening Category 5 storm with 180 mph maximum sustained winds. The monster storm blew up overnight and kept going. Forecasters are calling for the chart-topping winds to weaken somewhat by mid-week but Milton is still shaping up a record disaster doubling down on Hurricane Helene just two weeks ago. Milton is expected to make landfall on the west coast as a Category 3 hurricane, potentially pushing up to 15 feet of storm surge ashore in Tampa Bay -- roughly twice what Helene pushed over the coastline.  [Maybe tell HAARP to stand down.]

Evacuation panic in Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton sparks widespread backups and shortages <https://nypost.com/2024/10/07/us-news/evacuation-panic-in-florida-ahead-of-hurricane-milton-sparks-widespread-backups-and-shortages/> | 7 Oct 2024 | Highways out of Florida are backed up for miles as panicked residents attempt to flee the state before Hurricane Milton?s landfall later this week. Hurricane Milton stands at a Category 5, the highest rating on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. It is expected to have winds stronger than 157 miles per hour. In Hillsborough County, home to nearly 1.5 million people in the Tampa Bay Area, residents are scrambling as local leadership orders the evacuation of zones A and B --essentially anyone living immediately on the coast or just outside. "We've ordered evacuations for zones A & B for a very good reason," Hillsborough County Fire Chief Jason Dougherty said during a press briefing in Tampa as reported by the Florida Phoenix. "If you remain there, you could die...Help [rescuers] by leaving zones A & B today."

Special ops vets form 'Redneck Air Force' to ferry aid into NC mountains after feds come up short: 'Who's FEMA?' <https://nypost.com/2024/10/07/us-news/redneck-air-force-is-bringing-aid-to-nc-when-fema-came-up-short/> | 7 Oct 2024 | Hundreds of special operations personnel in North Carolina have formed their own homegrown rescue and supply operation in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene after they grew tired of waiting for the federal government to get its act together. The Post found an all-volunteer operation being run out of a Harley-Davidson dealership with ruthless efficiency and military precision. "Who's FEMA?" ex-Green Beret Adam Smith derisively responded when asked about the agency's presence on the ground since the deadly storm ravaged the rural western part of the state. "This disaster has definitively proven without a shadow of a doubt FEMA's incompetence and incapability," he said, noting that the agency didn?t even show up until Thursday -- almost a week after the storm that has killed at least 232, nearly half of them in the mountainous west of the Tar Heel State.

FEMA chief insists criticism of federal response to Helene is 'dangerous' <https://www.foxnews.com/media/fema-accused-playing-victim-after-insisting-criticism-helene-handling-dangerous-the-audacity> [What response?] | 6 Oct 2024 | The administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) argued Sunday that criticizing the agency's response to Hurricane Helene is "dangerous." In an interview on ABC's This Week, Deanne Criswell addressed public outcry over the federal government's response to Hurricane Helene, warning that the "false" narratives spread online about the agency's handling of the hurricane could hinder FEMA's recovery efforts. "It has a tremendous impact on the comfort level of our own employees to be able to go out there, but it's also demoralizing to all of the first responders...FEMA staff, volunteers," she said. "I need to make sure I can get the resources to where they are needed, and when you have this dangerous rhetoric like you're hearing, it creates fear in our own employees." ...Elon Musk accused FEMA of blocking shipments of Starlink satellite internet deliveries in hurricane-ravaged North Carolina, writing on X, "FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!?

Rep. Norman warns U.S. is facing a saline shortage because shipments of the critical medical solution went to Ukraine <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/07/rep-norman-warns-u-s-is-facing-a-saline-shortage-because-shipments-of-the-critical-medical-solution-went-to-ukraine/> | 7 Sept 2024 | Republican South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman on Monday warned that the United States was facing a saline shortage because shipments of the critical medical solution have gone to Ukraine. Medical facilities around the United States are preparing for the shortage after a medical facility in North Carolina closed down because of flooding from the storm, and the shipments to Ukraine. The plant is operated by Baxter Healthcare Corp, which produces approximately 60% of the nation's supply of IV solutions, according to The News & Observer. Norman claimed the shortage and shipment of the products to Ukraine was an "assault on our way of life." Norman also warned of the shortage on a post to X, claiming that the shortage and destruction in North Carolina constitute a "national emergency that Biden-Harris needs to address immediately.?

Ukraine preparing false flag chemical attack - Moscow <https://www.rt.com/russia/605356-ukraine-preparing-false-flag-chemical-attack/> | 7 Oct 2024 | Ukraine has made extensive preparations for a false flag chemical weapons attack to pin the blame on Russia and attempt to turn Moscow into a pariah at the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), a senior Russian defense official has said. Speaking at a briefing on Monday, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia's chemical and biological defense forces, stated that Moscow "has information about Ukraine's preparation of false flag attacks aimed at accusing Russia of using toxic substances during the special military operation." He added that "proof" would be provided to OPCW officials.

Ukrainian official filmed lying on bed of m-ney <https://www.rt.com/russia/605380-ukraine-corrupt-official-money/> --The government employee and his mother were caught with nearly 6 million in cash | 7 Oct 2024 | Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) has published a video of a pension agency official lying on a bed of d-llar bills, after he and his mother -- also a senior government employee -- were arrested with nearly 6 million in apparently illicit cash. In a statement on Friday, the SBI said its agents raided the office of the head of the Khmelnitsky Regional Center of Medical and Social Expertise, as part of an investigation into the forging of fraudulent disability certificates allowing men to avoid military conscription. The agents found 100,000 in U.S. d-llars in the office, along with lists of men with fictitious disabilities. 

NATO state's PM pledges to block Ukrainian membership <https://www.rt.com/news/605332-nato-state-kiev-never-join/> | 6 Oct 2024 | Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico has said that his country would not allow Ukraine to join NATO as long as he stays in power. Admitting Kiev into the U.S.-led military alliance would trigger a new world war, he warned in an interview with the broadcaster STVR on Sunday. "As long as I am the prime minister of the Slovak Republic, I will lead the legislators, whom I have control over as a party chairman, to never agree to Ukraine's membership in NATO," Fico said. "Ukraine's entry into NATO would serve as a good basis for a third world war." Fico, a longtime critic of Western military and financial aid to Ukraine, has insisted that the conflict must be resolved through diplomatic means. He repeatedly warned against further escalation with Moscow.

Kiev lost over 20,000 soldiers in Russia's Kursk Region - Moscow <https://www.rt.com/russia/605329-kiev-lost-soldiers-russia-kursk-region/> | 6 Oct 2024 | Kiev's total losses from its incursion into Russia?s Kursk Region have surpassed 20,000, the Defense Ministry in Moscow said in its latest report on Sunday. Russian troops have continued their counteroffensive in the area while preventing more Ukrainian units from crossing into the region, it added. The Ukrainian military has lost around 200 soldiers over the past 24 hours alone, the Defense Ministry's report said. Several pieces of Ukrainian hardware were also destroyed in the last 24 hours, including an artillery system, three mortars, and two vehicles, while one Ukrainian soldier surrendered, the Russian military noted. The total number of Ukrainian soldiers killed in the fighting in the Russian border region has exceeded 20,800, the ministry claimed.  

Israel launches ground operations in southwest Lebanon as Iran delivers warning <https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hezbollah-strikes-israel-gaza-war-anniversary-fears-grow-over-middle-east-2024-10-07/> | 8 Oct 2024 | Israel's military said on Tuesday it had begun ground operations in southwest Lebanon, expanding its incursions to a new zone a year after exchanges of fire began with armed group Hezbollah and amid pleas by the U.N. for a diplomatic solution. The regional tensions triggered a year ago by Palestinian armed group Hamas's attack on southern Israel have spiralled to a string of Israeli operations by land and air over Lebanon and direct attacks by Iran onto Israeli military installations. Iran warned Israel on Tuesday against any attacks on the Islamic Republic, a week after Tehran fired a barrage of missiles on it, putting the Middle East on edge. Any attack on Iran's infrastructure will be met with retaliation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said, warning Israel against attacks on his country.  

Israel marks anniversary of Hamas attack <https://www.rt.com/news/605389-israel-hamas-october-anniversary/> --Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a message of unity, but families who lost loved ones called for accountability | 7 Oct 2024 | Ceremonies have been held across Israel to mark the one-year anniversary of Hamas's October 7 attack on the Jewish state. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that the attack awakened Israel's "inner strength," families of those killed blame the state for allowing it to happen in the first place. Hamas militants launched a surprise assault on Israel one year ago on Monday, occupying dozens of towns and villages in the south of the country, killing around 1,100 people, and taking roughly 250 hostages back to Gaza. Israel responded by declaring war on the militant group. The ongoing conflict has claimed nearly 42,000 Palestinian lives to date, as well as the lives of 726 Israeli soldiers.

Pro-Israel Democrat Beaten, Robbed at Pro-Hamas October 7 Rally in NYC <https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2024/10/07/pro-israel-democrat-beaten-robbed-at-pro-terror-october-7-rally-in-nyc/> | 7 Oct 2024 | Todd Richman, the co-chair of Democratic Majority for Israel, was beaten and had his Israeli flag stolen on Monday at a pro-Hamas protest in New York City to commemorate the October 7 attack. As Breitbart News reported, there were pro-Hamas demonstrators at Columbia University on Monday, as part of city-wide protests by anti-Israel activists. Video of the protesters circulated on social media as well, with one group of protesters calling for Tel Aviv -- Israel's tech-savvy, left-wing, secular metropolis -- to be destroyed. Richman was a counter-protester. The organization he chairs advocates for pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.

Elon Musk tells Tucker Carlson he's f***ed if Trump loses election: 'How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be?' <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13934743/Elon-Musk-tells-Tucker-Carlson-hes-f-ed-Trump-loses-election-long-think-prison-sentence-going-be.html> | 7 Oct 2024 | Elon Musk told Tucker Carlson that if Kamala Harris wins the election, "I'm f***ed" and predicts the vice president will send him to prison. The Tesla CEO, 50, sat down with the ex-Fox News host for a 90-minute interview on the Musk-owned social media app X. The chat began with Carlson wondering what would happen to Musk if Trump loses, with both beginning to cackle. "If Trump loses, you're f***ed, dude," Carlson said, with Elon laughing along and agreeing. "If he loses, I'm f***ed," he affirmed. "How long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? Will I see my children? I don't know." Musk and Carlson both said that if Harris beats Trump in November, it will be the last election.

Keith Olbermann calls for Elon Musk to be deported, says Biden needs to get mogul 'the F out of our country' <https://www.foxnews.com/media/keith-olbermann-calls-elon-musk-deported-says-biden-need-get-mogul-the-f-out-our-country> | 7 Oct 2024 | Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann called for Tesla mogul Elon Musk to be deported, suggesting Joe Biden should use presidential immunity to get the multi-billionaire business magnate "the F out of our country." Olbermann, a staunch critic of former President Trump, is irked that Musk has criticized FEMA and supported the Republican presidential nominee on X, where he boasts over 200 million followers. "It is now time to cancel all of Elon Musk's government contracts. Tesla, SpaceX, whatever other cr-p he's selling us," Olbermann said on a video posted to social media intended to promote his podcast. While Olbermann doesn't want the government to work with Musk, the former MSNBC host posted the video to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter that is owned by Musk. "It's time to cancel all the contracts and re-assess his immigration status, and hopefully deport him the h-ll out of the country," Olbermann said. "If we can?t do that by conventional means, President [sic] Biden, you have presidential immunity," Olbermann continued. "Get Elon Musk the F out of our country and do it now."

Hillary Clinton says 'the quiet part out loud' during CNN interview: leaders could 'lose control' if they don't censor content <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13930729/Hillary-Clinton-says-quiet-loud-CNN-interview-sending-news-appearance-viral-frenzy.html> | 6 Oct 2024 | Hillary Clinton called for a government crack down on social media, sparking users on X to accuse her of saying "the quiet part out loud." The former Secretary of State told CNN host Michael Smerconish Saturday that leaders could "lose control" if they don't take serious action to censor digital content -- sparking outcry on social media. Clinton called for the repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Act, the keeps online platforms from being held liable for content posted by users on their platforms. That legal carve out, she argued, was an "overly simple view" that did not take into account the dangers of social media. "[I]f the platforms, whether it's Facebook or Twitter/X or Instagram or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don't moderate and monitor the content, we lose total control," she said.

New Biden-Harris Medicare plan could cost taxpayers $20 billion in election-year boondoggle, CBO warns <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/06/new-biden-harris-medicare-plan-could-cost-taxpayers-20-billion-in-election-year-giveaway-cbo-warns/> | 6 Oct 2024 | In an election-year stunner, the Congressional Budget Office is warning the Biden-Harris administration's new Medicare prescription drug plan could cost taxpayers more than 20 billion over three years. The budget analysis arm of Congress said the increased costs are due to the government subsidizing many seniors' premiums by sending funds to insurance firms, and it would cost at least 5 billion extra in 2025 alone and add to the deficit. "The higher costs are attributable to the increases in subsidies for premiums and risk corridors," the CBO told key lawmakers this week. Lawmakers blasted the Biden/Harris administration for imposing such new cost on taxpayers "As predicted, the Biden-Harris Inflation Reduction Act not only quelled investment for new cures, but caused Medicare prescription drug plan premiums to skyrocket, and Democrats are scrambling to cover it up before the election," House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, said.

Pivotal swing state under fire for closing voter registration same night as Trump's big rally <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/battleground-state-under-fire-scheduling-voter-registration-site-go-dark-same-day-butler-rally> --"Aren?t even trying to hide their blatant interference," RNC co-chair Lara Trump said ahead of the "maintenance" | 6 Oct 2024 | Conservatives blasted Pennsylvania's Department of State this month for scheduling a system maintenance update to its voter registration website the same day former President Trump returned to Butler, where he survived an assassination attempt in July. The operation would have taken the site offline for several hours during the same time frame the Trump campaign expected to register voters. The department, however, moved the window of time for maintenance to later in the night amid an early outcry. "The PA State Department voter registration website will be unavailable on Saturday, October 5th, the day that President Trump will be triumphantly returning to the site of the assassination attempt in Butler County, PA. W/ all eyes on PA, the site will be down. Coincidence?" GOP activist Scott Pressler posted to Instagram on Thursday.

Trump assassination attempt at Coachella Valley rally thwarted when man with multiple guns, fake passes arrested - Riverside sheriff <https://www.presstelegram.com/2024/10/13/las-vegas-man-found-with-loaded-firearm-high-capacity-magazine-near-trump-rally-in-coachella-valley/> | 13 Oct 2024 | A third assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was thwarted on Saturday after a Las Vegas man was arrested with weapons and fake passes about a half mile from Trump's campaign rally in Coachella Valley, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday. Deputies assigned to Trump's rally said the driver, Vem Miller, rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said in a news release <https://www.riversidesheriff.org/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=5898>. Bianco told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller, who he said is a member of a right-leaning anti-government group, planned to kill Trump and that deputies thwarted the plan when Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at a checkpoint. "They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm," Bianco said. "We probably stopped another assassination attempt."

Pro-Trump group sues fed agencies for allegedly concealing records on assassination attempt suspect Ryan Routh <https://www.foxnews.com/us/pro-trump-group-sues-fed-agencies-allegedly-concealing-records-assassination-attempt-suspect-ryan-routh> --America First Legal's lawsuit alleges the DOJ, DHS, DOD and the State Department knew Ryan Routh was a threat | 10 Oct 2024 | A pro-Trump organization has filed a lawsuit against several federal agencies claiming that they were illegally concealing records on Ryan Routh, the suspect charged in the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. On Thursday, America First Legal (AFL) filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State, Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleging that the agencies knew about Routh and the danger he posed to the former president. AFL said it launched multiple government-wide investigations into the Biden-Harris administration's records about Routh on September 17.

U.S. to deploy about 100 troops inside Israel to operate anti-missile system <https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/13/politics/israel-iran-antimissile-system-us-troops/index.html> | 13 Oct 2024 | The U.S. will send an advanced anti-missile system -- and U.S. troops to operate it -- to Israel "to help bolster Israel's air defenses..." the Pentagon said Sunday. It is not the first time the U.S. has deployed the system, the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery, to the Middle East, Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said in the statement, and the system was also deployed to Israel in 2019 for an exercise. But the deployment of additional U.S. troops to Israel is notable amid the heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, and as the region braces for a potential Israeli attack on Iran that could continue to escalate hostilities. Approximately 100 U.S. troops are deploying to Israel to operate the THAAD battery, according to a U.S. defense official.

Ukraine is receiving chemical weapons from the West - Moscow <https://www.rt.com/russia/605490-ukraine-west-chemical-weapons/> | 9 Oct 2024 | The collective West has been facilitating the supply of banned toxic chemicals to Kiev to be used as chemical weaponry on the frontlines, the Russian Embassy in the UK has said. The mission made the remarks on Tuesday, responding to a new round of sanctions imposed by London. The restrictions target Russia's Radiological Chemical and Biological Defense Forces (RChBZ) and its head, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov, with the British government accusing Moscow of "flagrant violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)." The mission strongly rejected the accusations, pointing out that Moscow destroyed its chemical arsenal years ago, with the process overseen by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW)... In reality, London's accusations were intended to divert attention from the numerous instances of use of chemical weapons by Kiev's forces during the conflict against Moscow, the embassy suggested.

U.S. Navy spotted near Nord Stream blasts - Danish media <https://www.rt.com/news/605461-nord-stream-us-navy/> --American warships were operating in the area with their transponders switched off, Politiken has reported | 9 Oct 2024 | U.S. Navy vessels were operating near the Nord Stream pipelines shortly before the explosions that crippled the connectors in the Baltic Sea, Danish newspaper Politiken has reported, citing a local harbormaster. The newspaper added that their transponders -- used to locate vessels for safety purposes -- had been switched off. The crucial energy infrastructure, built to deliver Russian gas to Germany and the rest of Europe, was ruptured by underwater blasts in September 2022. According to the article, published on September 26, American warships had been operating in the area east of the Danish island of Bornholm a few days before the explosions with their transponders off. The circumstances prompted a local harbormaster at the nearby Danish port of Christianso, John Anker Nielsen, to launch a rescue mission. However, upon reaching the scene they saw that the vessels in question were U.S. Navy ships, Nielsen said. The Naval Command then told Nielsen and his colleagues to turn back, the harbormaster recounted.

Afghan refugee waived into U.S. by Biden charged with plotting Election Day terror attack <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/08/afghan-refugee-waived-into-u-s-by-biden-charged-with-plotting-election-day-terror-attack/> | 8 Oct 2024 | An Afghan national let into the United States by the Biden administration immediately after the bungled withdrawal of American troops from his country was charged Tuesday in federal court with plotting an Election Day terror attack in support of the Islamic State (ISIS) [I-CIA-SIS]. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was arrested by the FBI on Monday and charged with multiple crimes including conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, according to the Justice Department announcement. Tawhedi has been legally in the United States since Sept. 9, 2021, after he was granted special parole permission to enter the country during Operation Allies Refuge following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, a senior US official speaking on condition of anonymity told Just The News.

Mask mandates returning to several Bay Area counties <https://www.ktvu.com/news/mask-mandates-return-bay-area> | 10 Oct 2024 | Mask mandates are returning to health care settings in several Bay Area counties as an increase in COVID-19 cases overlaps with the cold and flu season. The local health orders require masks to be worn in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and other healthcare facilities. The story was first reported by the San Francisco Chronicle. Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and Napa counties have reinstated the mask requirements. The mandates become effective Nov. 1 and will continue through the end of March or April 2025.

California reports 6th human case of H5N1 bird flu <https://bnonews.com/index.php/2024/10/california-reports-6th-human-case-of-h5n1-bird-flu/> | 10 Oct 2024 | Health officials in California have reported another human case of H5N1 bird flu, taking the total number of dairy farm workers who have been infected during the past week to six. All of the cases were caused by animal-to-human transmission. All six cases so far have been found in individuals who worked at dairy farms in the Central Valley, suggesting none of them were caused by human-to-human transmission, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH). Of the six cases, four have been confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The other two have tested positive in California and are awaiting final confirmation from the CDC.

Oversight Chair Comer slams Ranking member Raskin as a 'hypocrite' over election certification <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/12/oversight-chair-comer-slams-ranking-member-raskin-as-a-hypocrite-over-election-certification/> | 12 Oct 2024 | House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., slammed Ranking member Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., for not being clear about whether or not he would certify the election if GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump wins in 2024. "Ranking member Raskin is the ultimate hypocrite," Comer said in an interview with Fox News Digital. "He talks a big game about 'saving democracy' yet actively undermines it by sowing seeds of doubt in America's free and fair elections when it benefits him to do so." Raskin said in an interview with Axios published Thursday that if Trump wins the election free and fair, he would "obviously accept it" but he said that Trump would not employ "free, fair and honest means" to win the White House. Comer proceeded to call Raskin an "election denier" and mentioned that the Maryland Democrat didn't vote to certify the election when Trump won in 2016. "Now ranking member Raskin is signaling he'd do the same if Trump wins again in November," Comer stated.

Some top Democrats won't commit to certifying a Trump win <https://www.axios.com/2024/10/11/house-democrats-jan-6-election-trump-raskin> | 10 Oct 2024 | House Democrats railed against House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) for hedging on whether a GOP-controlled House would certify a Kamala Harris victory. But some of their senior members are playing a similar game. Those Democrats are trapped between their deep distrust of Donald Trump [even though the 2020 "election" was rigged] and their vigorous denunciations [and prosecutions] of any election challenges in the years since the Jan. 6 attack... Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), the House Oversight Committee ranking member and former Jan. 6 committee member who objected to Trump electors in 2017, told Axios in an interview that if Trump "won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it." However, Raskin said he "definitely" doesn't assume that Trump would use free, fair and honest means to secure a victory.

Georgia State Election Board subpoenas Fulton County 2020 election records <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/09/georgia-state-election-board-subpoenas-fulton-county-2020-election-records/> | 9 Oct 2024 | The Georgia State Election Board voted to subpoena Fulton County's 2020 election records amid a legal fight over election monitors. The board voted 3-2 on Tuesday to subpoena all election records from the 2020 election in Fulton County, The Associated Press reported. The vote came a day after Fulton County filed a lawsuit claiming that the board does not have the authority to make the county "accept, and Fulton County to pay for, additional monitors for the 2024 election that have been hand-picked by certain State Election Board members."

Kamala Harris's 'world salad' response on 60 Minutes edited out by CBS <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13938177/Kamala-Harris-Israel-word-salad-60-minutes-edited.html> | 8 Oct 2024 | CBS News appears to have edited the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris to show the Democratic 2024 hopeful in a more positive light. Social media erupted in criticism of Harris's "word salad" response to a question about the Israeli-Hamas war. But after the episode aired on 60 Minutes on Monday night, the version that was put onto the show's official YouTube page did not include Harris's nonsensical answer and instead included a truncated and more straight-forward response. The interview aired Monday. In the aftermath of the backlash for her response to 60 Minutes, it appears that CBS News decided to edit her answer. Instead, the new version on YouTube has Harris appearing much for decisive and sure-footed in her answer.

Kamala Harris accused of being 'fed questions' in bizarre Hurricane Milton briefing moment <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13942831/Kamala-Harris-fed-questions-Hurricane-Milton-briefing.html> | 9 Oct 2024 | Kamala Harris had an obvious hot microphone moment during a briefing on Hurricane Milton. Donald Trump's campaign and critics on X are accusing Harris of being fed what to say during the briefing on Wednesday. While National Weather Service Director Ken Graham was providing information on the storm, Harris could be seen covering her mouth awkwardly and heard saying: "It's a live broadcast." Shortly after that, she posed a question to Graham... "Kamala can be heard telling an aide (who is feeding her questions) that it's a 'live broadcast' before immediately asking the question. She's a total fraud," Trump War Room wrote posted on its X page with a clip of the moment. A user posted their own takeaway from the moment, writing on X of the vice president: "This lady doesn't know what's going on. Everything about her is scripted and fake."

Axelrod says 'upscale' NC Harris voters will find way to vote after storm, not sure about rural Trump fans <https://www.foxnews.com/media/axelrod-says-upscale-nc-harris-voters-find-way-vote-after-storm-not-sure-about-rural-trump-fans> --'You know, they're upscale, kind of liberal voters, and they're probably going to figure out a way to vote,' David Axelrod said of Ashville, NC, voters | 5 Oct 2024 | Former Obama senior adviser David Axelrod argued that Kamala Harris voters will be clever enough to navigate voting in the wake of the devastation from Hurricane Helene, while saying that rural Trump voters will have a harder time getting to the polls. Axelrod made the claim during an episode of his podcast "Hacks on Tap" that aired Wednesday, predicting that liberal voters in Asheville, North Carolina -- a predominantly blue area in the state -- will "figure out a way to vote" more so than conservatives in the storm's aftermath. Describing Asheville as a "blue dot" in the state, he continued, "Those voters in Asheville are -- they're, you know, the kind of voters that will figure out a way to vote. You know, they?re upscale, kind of liberal voters, and they're probably going to figure out a way to vote," Axelrod said. He continued, stating that rural conservatives may not be as resourceful in finding ways to vote following the destruction of their homes and communities. "I?m not sure a bunch of these folks who've had their homes and lives destroyed elsewhere in western North Carolina -- in the mountains there -- are going to be as easy to wrangle for the Trump campaign," Axelrod hypothesized.

Bombshell poll: Left-leaning Quinnipiac has Trump ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/09/bombshell-poll-left-leaning-quinnipiac-has-trump-ahead-in-wisconsin-michigan/> | 9 Oct 2024 | In what can only be viewed as good news for former President Donald Trump, one of the more left-leaning polling outfits has found him carving out a material lead in two key battleground states. Widely regarded as one of the nation's left-leaning polls, the Quinnipiac University survey of battleground states found trump with 50% support in Michigan, compared to Harris's 47%, and 2% breaking for other candidates. In Wisconsin, Trump led with 48% support to Harris's 46% and 2% backing someone else. He remained behind in Pennsylvania, where Harris led with 49% to his 46%. Again, 2% backed other candidates. "The Harris post-debate starburst dims to a glow as Harris enters the last weeks slipping slightly in the Rust Belt," Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy said.

Chicago prosecutor declines to charge 'dangerous' migrant in 17-year-old's death <https://www.foxnews.com/us/chicago-prosecutor-declines-charge-dangerous-colombian-migrant-shooting-death-17-year-old> | 8 Oct 2024 | Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx?s office declined to pursue any charges against a "dangerous" Colombian migrant who was arrested for murder last week in Chicago. Foxx's decision comes after a CPD source shared with Fox News the migrant?s illegally acquired gun went off in an apartment building, killing a "beautiful and promising" 17-year-old girl. A Chicago Police source told Fox News that when 19-year-old Juan David Ramirez-Olivo was arrested for murder last week and questioned by CPD, he lied about being from Venezuela. Ramirez-Olivo is a Colombian national. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement source tells Fox News that Ramirez-Olivo previously came into the United States under the parole program and was given a notice to appear. ICE shared with Fox News it placed a detainer on Ramirez-Olivo last Thursday after he was arrested for first-degree murder and taken into custody on Saturday.

Georgia environment boss, who testified about BioLab chemical explosion, collapses and dies moments after revealing what he knew <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13942955/georgia-environmental-chief-dies-testifying-biolab-explosion.html> | 9 Oct 2024 | A Georgia environment boss collapsed suddenly on Tuesday and later died in the hospital -- on the same day after testifying about the BioLab chemical explosion. Kenny Johnson, 62, was Rockdale's state representative supervisor for soil and water conservation. He testified about the BioLab chemical fire that spewed clouds of chlorine gas and smoke in Conyers, where Johnson lived with his family. He later collapsed near the state Capitol and was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died. During his recorded testimony, Johnson claimed this was the second time he had asked for a criminal investigation -- the first time was three weeks prior to Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff, whose office told the environment boss they'd do an injury by utilizing the Department of Justice.

At least 17 dead after Hurricane Milton, 1.5 million customers in Florida still without power <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/12/at-least-17-dead-after-hurricane-milton-1-5-million-customers-in-florida-still-without-power/> --Tampa International Airport reopened on Saturday after service was suspended for three days. | 12 Oct 2024 | Hurricane Milton has claimed at least 17 lives in the state of Florida as 1.5 million customers in the Sunshine State are still without power. Milton hit Florida less than two weeks after Hurricane Helene, which ripped through Florida and killed about 20 people. First responders have reportedly rescued over a thousand people stranded by Milton. As of 9 a.m. on Saturday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said that 2.4 million customers have gotten power restored, according to CNN.

DeSantis offers free gas amid widespread shortages in Florida after Milton <https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/12/desantis-free-gas-milton-00183545> | 12 Oct 2024 | Florida is handing out free gas as the state struggles to recover from Hurricane Milton, a move announced by Gov. Ron DeSantis amid scenes of long lines for gasoline in the areas hit by the deadly storm. The state's Republican governor announced that three sites opened on Saturday, with more to come in cities on the Gulf Coast. The state's emergency management director also said millions of gallons of fuel would be unloaded later in the day from the port in Tampa. DeSantis announced that those in need of gasoline could get up to 10 gallons for free from fuel distribution sites set up in Plant City, Bradenton and St. Petersburg and there were plans to add one in Tampa, Sarasota and potentially another location in Pinellas County.

Manatees stranded in Florida pond by Hurricane Helene rescued, returned to wild <https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/oct/5/manatees-stranded-in-florida-pond-by-hurricane-hel/> | 5 Oct 2024 | Four manatees were rescued from a pond at a Florida cemetery that the animals had gotten trapped in during and after Hurricane Helene. The manatees swam into the Largo pond at the Serenity Funeral Home & Serenity Gardens Memorial Park while the area was flooded during the storm. Other manatees also got stranded due to the hurricane, with rescue efforts planned for one in Manatee County and another in the Jacksonville area, FWC spokeswoman Kelly Richmond said.

Netanyahu approves strikes on Iran - ABC News <https://www.rt.com/news/605873-netanyahu-iran-strike-targets/> --The Israeli PM has reportedly signed off on targets for Israel?s response to Tehran's missile attack, a source told the outlet | 17 Oct 2024 | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly signed off on a list of targets that could be struck in response to Tehran's missile strikes earlier this month. On October 1, Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in response to the killings of the heads of Hamas and Hezbollah and an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general last month. Since then, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has threatened to deliver a "deadly, pinpoint accurate, and surprising" response to Iran, while Israeli officials have called for devastating strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, including nuclear facilities. On Thursday, an unnamed Israeli source reportedly told ABC News that Netanyahu had approved the set of targets. However, the source did not provide any specific details on the targets or whether they are strictly related to the Iranian military.

Biden announces $425 million in military aid for Ukraine <https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-announces-new-425-million-military-aid-ukraine-2024-10-16/> | 16 Oct 2024 | Joe Biden spoke to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky on Wednesday about efforts to surge security assistance to Ukraine and announced a new 425 million military aid package, the White House said. The security package includes air defense capability, air-to-ground munitions, armored vehicles and critical munitions, the White House said in a statement. Zelensky, writing on Telegram, expressed gratitude to Biden, both parties of Congress and the American people for the new package and said he spoke to Biden about Kiev's five-point [imaginary] "victory plan," which he presented to parliament on Wednesday. [Okay, now they're just f-ing with us. If you don't believe pitchfork time is at hand, you're not paying attention.]

'Unspeakable anger' in U.S. over Ukraine aid - GOP Rep <https://www.rt.com/news/605874-americans-hatred-government-ukraine/> | 17 Oct 2024 | Americans are furious with the current administration because it has sent billions to Ukraine while treating its own citizens worse than dirt, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has said. Speaking at a campaign rally in Atlanta on Wednesday evening, the Georgia Republican contrasted the response by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to disasters affecting Americans with their eagerness to funnel funds to Kiev. "Lahaina. East Palestine. Western North Carolina," Greene named the locations of catastrophic wildfires [DEW attack], a toxic train derailment [WEF bucket list goal], and flooding caused by [geoengineered] Hurricane Helene. "There is anger in this country that is unspeakable, over how the Biden-Harris administration has thrown away these Americans as if their lives do not matter. As if their tax dollars never mattered. And treated them so that they're only worth 750 measly bucks," she said. "Oh, but Congress will write that check for 60 billion over and over again for Ukraine. Won't they?" Greene added. U.S. lawmakers have approved almost 180 billion in Ukraine aid since 2022. Greene has repeatedly voted against these spending packages. [Not to mention, billions for Israel, Lebanon (bombed by Israel, who we funded), Taiwan, and lest we forget: the Taliban, because the 85bn in equipment Biden left in Afghanistan was just not enough.]

Israel confirms death of Hamas leader <https://www.rt.com/news/605879-hamas-leader-killed/> | 17 Oct 2024 | Israel has officially announced that Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, has been killed. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Thursday that they were "investigating" whether Sinwar was among the Palestinian militants killed in a skirmish at an unspecified location. "Eliminated: Yahya Sinwar," the IDF posted on X on Thursday evening. Foreign Minister Israel Katz has also sent out a note to several of his colleagues around the world confirming Sinwar's death, according to an official statement. Sinwar, 62, has been the political leader of Hamas in Gaza since early 2017. He assumed full leadership of the group in August, after Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated in Tehran.

U.S. to send anti-missile system and troops to Israel, Pentagon says <https://www.reuters.com/world/us-send-anti-missile-system-israel-says-pentagon-2024-10-13/> | 14 Oct 2024 | The United States said on Sunday it will send U.S. troops to Israel along with an advanced U.S. anti-missile system, in a highly unusual deployment meant to bolster the country's air defenses following missile attacks by Iran. Joe Biden said the move was meant "to defend Israel," which is weighing an expected retaliation against Iran after Tehran fired more than 180 missiles at Israel on Oct 1. The United States has been privately urging Israel to calibrate its response to avoid triggering a broader war in the Middle East, officials say, with Biden publicly voicing his opposition to an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites and his concerns about a strike on Iran's energy infrastructure.

Israel kills at least 21 in strike on Christian town in north Lebanon <https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-says-israeli-tanks-burst-into-peacekeeper-base-while-hezbollah-drones-kill-2024-10-14/> | 14 Oct 2024 | Israel expanded its targets in its war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon on Monday, killing at least 21 people in an airstrike in the north, health officials said, while millions of Israelis took shelter from projectiles fired back across the border. So far the main focus of Israel's military operations in Lebanon has been in the south, the Bekaa Valley in the east and the suburbs of Beirut. The strike in the Christian-majority town of Aitou hit a house that had been rented to displaced families, the town's mayor Joseph Trad told Reuters. In addition to the deaths, eight people were injured, the Lebanese health ministry said.

U.S. military strikes Houthi targets in Yemen <https://abcnews.go.com/International/us-military-strikes-houthi-targets-yemen/story?id=114879095> --B-2 strategic stealth bombers were used in the strikes. | 16 Oct 2024 | The U.S. military has struck Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, U.S. officials told ABC News. "U.S. Central Command forces conducted multiple airstrikes on numerous Iran-backed Houthi weapons storage facilities within Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen," a U.S. defense official said. The defense official said the weapons were used to "target military and civilian vessels navigating international waters throughout the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden." Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that B-2 strategic stealth bombers were used in the strikes against "five hardened underground weapons storage locations in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen."

Updated DoD directive expands military authority to use lethal force against U.S. citizens <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/16/updated-dod-directive-expands-military-authority-to-use-lethal-force-against-u-s-citizens/> | 15 Oct 2024 | With the election only a few weeks away, the Department of Defense (DoD) has given the U.S. military authority to assist in domestic law enforcement, including giving them the right to use lethal force against American citizens under certain circumstances. It's a development that has largely gone under the radar despite its significant implications. DoD Directive 5240.01 <https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/DD/issuances/dodd/524001p.PDF> is not new, but it got an update last month.  It expands the list of circumstances in which the DoD is allowed to use deadly force while helping civilian law enforcement, potentially paving the way for using such force under a vague definition of "national security" conditions. This new iteration replaces the 2016 version of the directive, which was largely concerned with collecting intelligence and protecting civil liberties. In the updated version, lethal force can be used where there are imminent threats as long as it follows proper legal frameworks and gains approval from the Secretary of Defense... Also, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has recently broadened its definition of domestic terrorism, with the list of potential threats now including individuals who question election integrity as well as vaccine efficacy and the origins of the pandemic.

The Pentagon Wants to Use AI to Create Deepfake Internet Users <https://theintercept.com/2024/10/17/pentagon-ai-deepfake-internet-users/> --The Department of Defense wants technology so it can fabricate online personas that are indistinguishable from real people. | 17 Oct 2024 | The U.S. secretive Special Operations Command is looking for companies to help create deepfake internet users so convincing that neither humans nor computers will be able to detect they are fake, according to a procurement document reviewed by The Intercept. The plan, mentioned in a new 76-page wish list by the Department of Defense's Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, outlines advanced technologies desired for country?s most elite, clandestine military efforts. "Special Operations Forces (SOF) are interested in technologies that can generate convincing online personas for use on social media platforms, social networking sites, and other online content," the entry reads. The document specifies that JSOC wants the ability to create online user profiles that "appear to be a unique individual that is recognizable as human but does not exist in the real world," with each featuring "multiple expressions" and "Government Identification quality photos."

Facebook engineer admits site 'automatically demotes' anti-Kamala posts to 'help the Democrats' <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13970987/Facebook-engineer-admits-site-automatically-demotes-anti-Kamala-posts-help-Democrats.html> | 17 Oct 2024 | A Meta engineer claimed that Facebook has been "automatically demoting" posts criticizing Kamala Harris in an undercover sting. Senior software engineer Jeevan Gyawali was caught by a hidden camera while on a date discussing how Meta's algorithms and content moderation practices reduce the visibility of certain political posts without notifying the users.He provided an explanation to the unknown woman who sat at the other side of the table, saying if someone posts about Harris is "unfit to be president because she does not have a child" that "kind of s--- is automatically demoted." Gyawali, 32, also said that Meta has the ability to influence the 2024 election, claiming CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to use that power to help the Democrats.

Google emails with U.S. trade reps reveal cozy ties as tech giant pushed to 'hijack policy' <https://nypost.com/2024/10/14/business/google-emails-with-us-trade-reps-reveal-cozy-ties-as-tech-giant-pushed-to-hijack-policy/> | 14 Oct 2024 | Newly uncovered emails reveal how Google and Amazon used their access to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative as they sought to undermine overseas regulations -- including efforts to protect traditional media outlets. In May 2023, Google tried enlist the USTR in its fight to defeat or at least water down Canada's Online News Act, which took effect last December. The law requires Google and Facebook parent Meta to pay publishers for the right to display their content online... That month, Google's head of trade policy Nicholas Bramble emailed three USTR staffers -- senior director for services and digital trade Andrea Boron, deputy assistant trade representative Robb Tanner and director for Canada Randall Oliver -- to request a meeting on "upcoming developments on Canada."

Kamala Harris plagiarized her first book, bombshell report claims as scandal rocks presidential campaign <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13958939/kamala-harris-accused-plagiarism-smart-crime-book.html> | 14 Oct 2024 | Several passages in Kamala Harris' first book are found to have been lifted from primary sources without attribution, according to a new report from plagiarism hunters. Harris published her first book Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer in 2009, with co-author Joan O'C. Hamilton, taking her political slogan from her campaign for district attorney and putting it into a nationwide plan for the future of criminal justice reform. Author and activist Christopher Russo published details of the book on his Substack on Monday, citing famous Austrian "plagiarism hunter" Stefan Weber, who says he found more than a dozen fragments of plagiarism. Weber's report shows that Harris copied verbatim content from Wikipedia, Goodwill Industries, her partner on her "Back on Track" crime program, into the text of her book. [An October "surprise" that isn't. We knew she couldn't have written a book as she's likely never even read one.]

Liz Cheney contacted controversial J6 witness on encrypted app behind lawyer's back, messages show <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/15/liz-cheney-contacted-controversial-j6-witness-on-encrypted-app-behind-lawyers-back-messages-show/> | 15 Oct 2024 | While vice chairwoman of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, former Rep. Liz Cheney used an encrypted phone app to directly and indirectly communicate around defense counsel -- and possibly ethical rules -- with a witness who would later change her testimony in shocking fashion, according to evidence obtained by congressional investigators and Just the News. Cheney's Signal communications with witness [fabulist] Cassidy Hutchinson on June 6, 2022, and her friend, Alyssa Farah Griffin, were recently obtained by Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., chairman of the House Administration oversight subcommittee that has identified significant problems with the original Democratic-run inquiry into the Jan. 6 incident. At the time of the communication, Hutchinson was represented by attorney Stefan Passantino, who told Just the News he did not authorize the contacts with Cheney and was not aware of them until contacted by Just the News.

Johnson accuses CBS of 'selectively editing' his interview, new blow amid '60 Minutes' controversy <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/16/johnson-accuses-cbs-of-selectively-editing-his-interview-new-blow-amid-60-minutes-controversy/> | 15 Oct 2024 | House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday accused CBS News of cutting critical parts of his answers during a Sunday appearance on Face the Nation, as part of an effort to "undermine Republicans." The criticism comes after multiple Republican politicians urged the network to release the full unedited transcripts of Kamala Harris's appearance on 60 Minutes last week, after the Harris's answer in a clip promoting the interview differed from the answer in the full interview that aired. Johnson claimed that the network "selectively edited" portions of his responses related to the federal response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina, the SAVE Act, and Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's efforts to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. "CBS has been under fire for selectively editing their interviews to PROMOTE Democrats and UNDERMINE Republicans," Johnson posted to X <https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1846029803595383249> on Monday. "Yesterday, they chose to cut FIVE important minutes out of my nearly 15 minute interview. You can be the judge as to why."

JD Vance rips ABC anchor as she tries to downplay Venezuelan gang takeover in Colorado: 'Do you hear yourself?' <https://nypost.com/2024/10/14/us-news/jd-vance-rips-abcs-martha-raddatz-as-she-tries-to-downplay-venezuelan-gang-takeover-in-colorado-do-you-hear-yourself/> | 14 Oct 2024 | Republican vice presidential hopeful JD Vance went off on ABC News correspondent Martha Raddatz Sunday after she tried to fact-check the senator from Ohio about the presence of Venezuelan migrant gangs in Aurora, Colo. Former President Donald Trump, 78, stumped in the Denver suburb Friday and vented that the Tren de Aragua (TdA) crime syndicate had "overrun" the city. "The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes, apartment complexes and the mayor said, 'Our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns,'" Raddatz, 71, told Vance on ABC's This Week. "Martha, do you hear yourself?" asked Vance, 40, seemingly taken aback by the reporter's objection. "Only 'a handful of apartment complexes' in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's open border? Americans are so fed up with what's going on," Vance went on.

Aurora Property Management Company Blasts Media Coverup: Venezuelan Gangs 'DID Take Control of Our Apartment Complexes' and 'Government Did Nothing' <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/15/aurora-property-management-company-blasts-media-coverup-venezuelan-gangs-did-take-control-of-our-apartment-complexes-and-government-did-nothing/> | 14 Oct 2024 | The property management company overseeing the apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, that have been commandeered by Venezuelan gangs have spoken out about the situation. As Infowars reported, CBZ Management is the company that owns the Fitzsimons Place and Whispering Pines apartment complexes that the Venezuelan transnational gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) had taken over in August which quickly made national headlines. The company posted an extensive thread Friday on X to expose the dire reality of the situation and counter the mainstream media's coverup of the gang activity. "Gangs have taken control of several of our properties in Aurora, Colorado. In an attempt to discredit this fact for political purposes and avoid governmental accountability, some have spread false information about our situation," the company said.

Man arrested outside Trump Coachella rally denies assassination intent; he's 'all in' supporting Trump <https://www.foxnews.com/us/man-arrested-outside-trump-coachella-rally-denies-assassination-intent-support-trump> --Vem Miller told Fox News Digital that he was 100% a Trump supporter and claims against him are false | 13 Oct 2024 | The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest. Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally on Saturday evening and denied that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit. His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on 5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed. "I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck," Miller told Fox News Digital in a phone interview.

British Group With Ties to Starmer, American Democrats Seeking to 'Kill Musk's Twitter' <https://www.nysun.com/article/british-group-with-ties-to-starmer-american-democrats-seeking-to-kill-musks-twitter> --'This is war,? Mr. Musk said in response to the reporting. | 23 Oct 2024 | Billionaire Elon Musk is declaring "war" on a British group that sought to "kill" his X platform by using European Union regulations and legislation here in America, according to a new report. Those involved with the group that wanted to limit the reach of Mr. Musk's platform have ties to powerful Democrats and Prime Minister Starmer's Labour Party. According to documents released by journalists Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker, the British anti-disinformation think tank, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, met with Democrats to discuss killing the X platform. "Kill Musk's Twitter," the group wrote in one bullet point of agenda items ahead of meetings with Senator Klobuchar and Congressman Adam Schiff, both of whom have been part of a push on Capitol Hill to regulate social media platforms. The goal of closing down Mr. Musk's platform was listed as part of their "annual" goals for 2024.

Elon Musk to upgrade security after left-wing magazine labels him 'Public Enemy No. 2' <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/elon-musk-upgrade-security-after-der-spiegel-labels-him-public-enemy-no-2> --Elon Musk endorsed Trump after the first assassination attempt on the former president | 20 Oct 2024 | Elon Musk said Sunday he planned to upgrade his security after a left-wing German magazine labeled him an enemy of the people. Musk held a town hall discussion in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Sunday in support of former President Donald Trump's candidacy. While talking to the crowd, Musk commented on the heightened political atmosphere as the nation approached the November presidential election. He noted he was recently on the cover of Der Spiegel, which labeled him "Public Enemy No. 2" -- the first being Trump. "I'm like, enemy number 2 of what? Uh, democracy? I mean I'm pro-democracy. I'm literally trying to uphold the Constitution and ensure we have a free and fair election," Musk said, eliciting applause from the crowd.

Two U.S. service members injured in joint operation with Iraq that targeted ISIS leaders <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/23/two-us-service-members-injured-in-joint-operation-with-iraq-that-targeted-isis-leaders/> | 23 Oct 2024 | The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday confirmed that two U.S. military personnel were injured in a raid in Iraq on Tuesday, which resulted in the deaths of several Islamic State (ISIS) [I-CIA-SIS] leaders, and at least seven of their operatives. The attack comes after Pentagon officials announced last month that it would end the current operation to beat back ISIS by 2026, which would likely scale back the number of soldiers in the region. There are approximately 2,500 U.S. troops currently in Iraq, according to The Hill. CENTCOM said on Wednesday that the strikes and raids targeted multiple ISIS locations in Central Iraq. The two U.S. troops are in stable condition and have been transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

The military thwarted "an attempt by the Kiev regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation," the ministry said. Air defenses intercepted or destroyed 110 UAVs, 43 of which were taken down over the Kursk Region near the border, where fighting has been raging since early August.

"If I said this five years ago, you'd lock me up: We gotta lock him up," Biden, 81, said during a visit to a Democratic campaign office in Concord, New Hampshire, the Granite State's capital. After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added in an apparent backtrack attempt: "politically, lock him up -- lock him out, that's what we've got to do."

Trump attacks 'dumb war hawk' Cheney <https://www.rt.com/news/606053-trump-harris-cheney-arabs/> | 21 Oct 2024 | Former U.S. President Donald Trump has hammered Kamala Harris for campaigning with Liz Cheney, a prominent neoconservative whom Trump accused of wanting "to go to war with every Muslim country known to mankind." Cheney, a former member of Congress and the daughter of former [neocon dirt-bag] Dick Cheney, endorsed Harris last month, and will tour the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin this week in a bid to drum up establishment Republican support for the Democratic nominee. Michigan is home to around 250,000 Arab-Americans, who reportedly favor Trump, due to their opposition to Harris's position on the Israel-Hamas war. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump predicted that Ms. Cheney's appearance will further infuriate the cohort. "Arab Voters are very upset that Comrade Kamala Harris, the Worst Vice President [sic] in the History of the United States and a Low IQ individual, is campaigning with 'dumb as a rock' War Hawk, Liz Cheney, who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind," he wrote.

Steve Bannon blasts 'Queen of Mass Incarcerations' Kamala for 'illegally holding' him in prison despite his eligibility for First Step Act <https://thepostmillennial.com/new-steve-bannon-blasts-queen-of-mass-incarcerations-kamala-harris-for-illegally-holding-me-in-prison> --"The Harris Bureau of Prisons is illegally holding me past my legal release date?trying to eliminate one of President Trump's strongest advocate--these criminals reek of desperation," Bannon said | 19 Oct 2024 | In a statement Friday, War Room host and former Trump White House Chief Advisor Steve Bannon said that the Biden-Harris administration is illegally continuing to hold him in prison, as he is eligible for the First Step Act. "Kamala Harris is the 'Queen of Mass Incarcerations,' detested by black and Hispanic men who are refusing to turn out and vote for her," Bannon said in a statement to the National Pulse. Bannon is currently serving his four-month sentence in a Connecticut federal prison handed down in response to his contempt of Congress conviction. Harris "has done nothing to implement President Trump's heroic First Step Act, in fact welcoming hundreds of thousands of hardened illegal migrant criminals while allowing U.S. citizens eligible for early release to rot in prison. No mass deportations, but continual mass incarcerations," he continued. A motion to reimpose bail or a period of supervised release was filed on August 29. The government?s response has been pending for over 75 days.

Handwriting analysis expert catches Cassidy Hutchinson in apparent false testimony <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/22/handwriting-analysis-expert-catches-cassidy-hutchinson-in-apparent-false-testimony/> | 21 Oct 2024 | Handwriting analysis of a tweet draft is the latest piece of evidence contradicting the testimony of star Jan. 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson who has come under fire from House Republicans for her role in the investigation led by the Democratic-controlled Jan. 6 Select Committee. In her public testimony before the special committee in June 2022, Hutchinson told Congress, under oath, that she wrote the note for a proposed tweet as her boss, President Donald Trump's Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Eric Herschmann, a personal attorney to Trump, dictated it to her. Immediately after her public testimony, Herschmann disputed Hutchinson's claim, according to the House Republicans. Now, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight said it ordered a handwriting analysis from an expert who determined was consistent with Herschmann's writing, not Hutchinson?s.

Kamala Harris town hall host shuts down Michigan voter hoping to ask a question: 'We have some pre-determined questions' <https://nypost.com/2024/10/21/us-news/kamala-harris-town-hall-host-maria-shriver-shuts-down-michigan-voter-hoping-to-ask-the-vp-a-question-we-have-some-pre-determined-questions/> | 21 Oct 2024 | Former California first lady and journalist [sic] Maria Shriver revealed that only "pre-determined questions" were allowed to be asked of Kamala Harris at a Michigan town hall event on Monday. "Are we going to be able to ask a question?" a woman attending the Oakland County event asked Shriver ahead of Harris taking the stage with former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, according to the Daily Mail. Shriver shut her down. "You're not, unfortunately, we have some pre-determined questions," the former Dateline correspondent replied. "Hopefully I'll be able to ask some of the questions that might be in your head," Shriver added.

Voters in Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee Report Voting Machines Flipping Their Selections <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/19/voters-in-georgia-texas-and-tennessee-report-voting-machines-flipping-their-selections/> | 19 Oct 2024 | Voters in Georgia, Texas, and Tennessee are reporting on numerous voting machine irregularities that are flipping their vote choices. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga) first broke the issue on The Alex Jones Show on Friday, reporting that Dominion voting machines in Georgia are flipping voter selections in her district from Republican to Democratic. "CHECK YOUR BALLOTS GEORGIA! Reports from Whitfield County, GA, that Dominion machines are flipping votes. This is exactly the kind of fraud we saw in 2020 and it cannot be tolerated. I will be working to investigate this issue and ensure the integrity of our elections in Georgia," Greene posted on X along with the interview.

Wall Street ramps up staffing as election nears, expecting volatile trading <https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/wall-street-ramps-up-staffing-election-nears-expecting-volatile-trading-2024-10-23/> --Firms test systems to handle increased trading volume and volatility | 23 October 2024 | Banks, brokerages, investment managers and exchanges are adding staff to handle high trading volumes on and around Election Day with markets expected to become volatile as results come in. With Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican former President Donald Trump neck-and-neck in many polls ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, the prospect of no immediate winner being clear is heightening concerns among investors and traders.

Bill Gates secretly donated $50M to pro-Harris group - report <https://nypost.com/2024/10/23/us-news/bill-gates-secretly-donated-50m-to-pro-harris-group-report/> | 23 Oct 2024 | Microsoft founder Bill Gates secretly donated some 50 million to a group backing Kamala Harris but is not publicly endorsing her, according to a report. The billionaire's hefty donation was made to Future Forward USA Action, according to the New York Times, which reports that Gates's contribution was not intended to be made public. Gates, 68, has privately expressed concern about former President Donald Trump defeating Harris in November, according to the New York Times. The tech titan?s nonprofit, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, fears potential cuts to family planning and global health programs depopulation agenda if Trump, 78, is elected to a second term.

Musk donates $75 million to Trump campaign <https://www.rt.com/news/605814-musk-confirms-donation-trump/> --The billionaire has confirmed his contribution to America PAC, becoming one of the top donors supporting the Republican nominee | 16 Oct 2024 | Elon Musk has donated 75 million to a pro-Donald Trump group in recent months, the U.S.-based billionaire has confirmed. Founded by the tech mogul himself back in July, America Political Action Committee says it aims to bolster turnout for the Republican nominee in closely contested battleground states, which could decide the November 5 presidential election. Musk, whose net worth stands at 246.5 billion, says he financially backed both Republican and Democratic candidates in previous campaigns, not showing any clear preference for either party. However, following the failed assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, the tycoon publicly endorsed the GOP candidate, and has been a vocal supporter ever since.

Donald Trump trolls Kamala Harris by working the McDonald's drive-thru outside Philadelphia <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13980413/Donald-Trump-McDonalds-work-Kamala-Harris-fries.html> | 20 Oct 2024 | Donald Trump passed through the golden arches and got behind the fryer at a McDonald's in the Philadelphia suburbs -- in a move designed to troll Kamala Harris. "I'm looking for a job. And I've always wanted to work at McDonald's but I never did," Trump said as he introduced himself to franchise owner Derek Giacomantonio. "I'm running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story." "So, if you don't mind, I want to work the French fry counter. How much are you paying me?" the billionaire ex-president said with a laugh. Trump then proceeded to put on a black and yellow apron and learn the process of making French fries at the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, restaurant. Trump also took a turn at the drive-thru counter -- catering to a handful of prearranged "customers" who were supporters. Trump said the meals were taken care of, which speeded processing. "I'm having a lot of fun here, everybody," he declared.

Kids pushed out of schools in Logansport, Indiana, after migrants swelled county's population by 30% <https://nypost.com/2024/10/21/us-news/logansport-in-students-struggle-after-thousands-of-migrants-moved-in/> --'Everybody else is falling behind' | 21 Oct 2024 | Thousands of migrants from Haiti and dozens of other countries have arrived in this isolated Indiana city of 18,000 in just a few years. Furious residents say they no longer feel safe in the once-sleepy downtown, and their kids are being muscled out of the schools by new students who don't know English and need a lot of help. They blame Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. "Do something. Our community cannot withstand this many people being here," Candice Espinoza, 32, a local photographer, told The Post when asked what her message would be to the Democratic presidential candidate. Nancy Baker, 44, a mother of two, was more blunt about what she would tell Harris: "Get off my property." It?s not entirely clear how many migrants have arrived in Logansport -- but Cass County Health Department Administrator Serenity Alter told The Post that the surrounding area's population has surged nearly 30%.

Two suspected Tren de Aragua gang members arrested in upstate New York in connection to Connecticut homicide <https://thepostmillennial.com/two-suspected-tren-de-aragua-gang-members-arrested-in-upstate-new-york-in-connection-to-connecticut-homicide> --Law enforcement sources said that the woman was caught and released at the border in Fort Brown, TX on May 26, 2022, the man crossed the border undetected at an unknown time. | 18 Oct 2024 | Two Venezuelan illegal immigrants believed to be part of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang were arrested in the upstate New York town of Rensselaer and were charged in connection to a homicide in a Stamford, Connecticut.

'Evil' super gang seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new terrifying show of strength <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/texas/article-13958241/texas-gang-tren-aragua-apartment-complex-raid.html> | 16 Oct 2024 | A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, Daily Mail can reveal. Dubbed the "epitome of evil," Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution, and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the U.S. in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants. The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York. Just last week, a small army of police officers raided an apartment complex in San Antonio and arrested 19 individuals -- including four gang members. Law enforcement sources confirmed TdA had been operating at the Palatia Apartments for five to six months - squatting in empty units they either rented out to other migrants, used as a base to [commit various crimes].

No-bid migrant contractor DocGo's successor reaped $450M in NYC taxpayer m-ney <https://nypost.com/2024/10/18/us-news/no-bid-migrant-contractor-docgos-successor-reaped-450m-in-nyc-taxpayer-money/> | 18 Oct 2024 | A disaster response company that replaced the controversial DocGo as a migrant services provider for New York City has cost taxpayers more than 450 million over the last year, The Post has learned. Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) called on the city and state comptrollers to investigate Garner Environmental Services' contract in a scathing Thursday letter exclusively obtained by The Post. Garner had previously inked a 30 million emergency services standby contract with the city. When City Hall ended its 432 million no-bid contract with DocGo in May after months of backlash, it handed the troubled company's responsibilities for sheltering the city's tens of thousands of migrants to Garner. But Brannan, the council's finance committee chair, who's running for city comptroller, argued that Garner has reaped nearly 457 million, according to city records -- more than DocGo's widely criticized 432 million contract -- and without being meaningfully audited and scrutinized.  

Here's how much each NY state resident will have to fork over in taxes to cover migrant crisis bill <https://nypost.com/2024/10/14/us-news/ny-state-residents-each-will-have-to-fork-over-this-much-in-taxes-to-cover-migrant-crisis-bill/> | 14 Oct 2024 | Each of New York's 10.7 million taxpayers would have to fork over 215 on average to foot the bill for the state's ongoing migrant crisis, according to a new analysis. Put another way, it would take the entire tax bill paid by 328,471 New Yorkers together to cover the 2.3 billion tab to house and care for the staggering number of asylum seekers in the state. The analysis was conducted by the campaign of Gina Arena, the Republican candidate in the 40th state Senate district in the lower Hudson Valley, based on the average 7,000 state income tax bill for New Yorkers in 2022.

Israel bombs Iran: Explosions are heard across Tehran as 'IDF forces launch retaliatory strikes' while blasts also hit Syria <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14004161/Multiple-explosions-seen-Irans-capital-Tehran.html> | 25 Oct 2024 | Israel launched a series of retaliatory strikes on Iran early on Saturday morning, while blasts also reportedly hit Syria. IDF forces claimed it was conducting "precise strikes" on military targets in Tehran in response to what it called "the continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against Israel." The Middle East has been on edge in anticipation of Israeli retaliation for Iran's attack on October 1, in which around 200 ballistic missiles were fired at Israel, Iran's second direct attack on Israel in six months. An Israeli military statement said that Israel "has the right and the duty to respond," although it did not elaborate on targets.

Harvard professors call for 'militant democracy' to block Trump from presidency <https://www.foxnews.com/media/harvard-professors-argue-america-needs-militant-democracy-stop-trump> --Deranged Ivy League "professors" call for limits on free speech | 24 Oct 2024 | Harvard professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt advised pushing a "militant democracy" to ensure an "authoritarian figure" like former President Trump never rises to power again. In an op-ed for the New York Times, Levitsky and Ziblatt describe how they spent the last year "researching how democracies can protect themselves from authoritarian threats from within," lamenting how close Trump remains to getting a second term. One of the ways they suggested limiting figures like Trump's rise to power was a "militant or defensive democracy" which they described as a way authorities can restrict or outlaw speech against "antidemocratic forces." "...[T]he militant democracy approach empowers public authorities to wield the rule of law against antidemocratic forces. Haunted by the experience of Hitler?s rise to power via the ballot box, West German constitutional designers created legal and administrative procedures that allowed the state to restrict and even outlaw 'anti-constitutional' speech, groups and parties," they wrote.

Former President Trump mused earlier this month that he would push for a prosecution of Google if elected for a second term in office, for allegedly favoring the Democratic candidate, Kamala Harris.

You make yourself a target, and it's a very dangerous business. I never thought of that when I did it."

The choice will have reverberations for decades, deciding which of two very different paths for the future Americans will take. We must choose the following: A secure border and a sensible immigration system. Safer cities and support for law and order. A thriving, low-tax and low-regulation economy for all -- fueled by an energy policy that supports, not penalizes, industry and households. Common-sense policies that restore the power of parents to choose what is best for their children on school choice, gender surgery and trans athletes playing in female sports. An America that's respected on the world stage ? feared by our enemies and trusted by our allies. Only one candidate can credibly claim to lead us there. Donald Trump.

Tiny Ohio town sees population double with influx of 3,000 migrants from African nation as mayor blames 'open border policy' <https://nypost.com/2024/10/24/us-news/lockland-ohio-sees-mauritanian-migrants-double-population/> | 24 Oct 2024 | A small Ohio town is the latest victim of the Biden-Harris administration's open border policy after 3,000 migrants from the West African nation of Mauritania moved in in the past year -- lured by [social media personalities] who are posting instruction videos with maps of the Cincinnati suburb. The influx has nearly doubled Lockland's population of 3,500 in a matter of months, local officials say. "With the federal government's open border policy, these immigration population outbursts have been left for small villages like Lockland to have to deal with," Mayor Mark Mason told WCPO. "If they?re going to have an open border policy, they're going to need a policy to direct these immigrants to communities that can withstand that kind of population outburst. [This is a] 1.2-square-mile village - it's unsustainable."

"The registrar was able to determine that one of the poll workers handed out the wrong ballot, so she very quickly and smartly sequestered those ballots," Thomas said. "And because early voted ballots are under seal and someone has signed them, they are contacting those voters and giving them an opportunity to come back and recast their ballot." Registrar of Voters Elissa Bass said 519 ballots were cast that day, but she believes only a few were given the one wrong one.

It now has the support of every Republican-led U.S. state, giving it outsize attention in the final stretch before the election. In the amicus brief, attorneys general urged the court to grant Virginia's emergency motion and "restore the status quo," noting that doing so "would comply with the law and enable Virginia to ensure that noncitizens do not vote in the upcoming election.?

Georgia's pro-Western opposition - which got only 10% of the vote - refuses to accept election defeat <https://www.rt.com/russia/606589-georiga-opposition-refuse-accept-defeat/> | 27 Oct 2024 | Leaders of several opposition parties in Georgia have said they will not recognize the results of the weekend's national parliamentary vote. According to the official results, the ruling Georgian Dream party received almost 54% of the vote, while various opposition forces attracted between 11% and 3%. Georgian Dream party chairman Mamuka Mdinaradze has claimed the party is likely to win at least 90 of the national chamber's 150 seats, up from the 74 it won in the last election. The party will then be able to form the next government since a simple 76-strong majority is needed in Georgia to pick the next prime minister and cabinet. Tina Bokuchava, who heads the pro-Western Unity-National Movement (UNM) [CIA-backed] party, has accused the nation's central election committee of doing Georgian Dream's bidding and of "stealing the European future" of Georgia. According to official results, the UNM received just over 10% of the votes. Bokuchava still maintained that her party would "fight like never before for the return of our European future and will not come to terms with the stolen election results.?

6 BART employees who refused COVID-19 vaccine to receive more than $1M each <https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/bart-employees-refused-covid-vaccine-get-payout-19861708.php> | 24 Oct 2024 | Six former BART employees are each due a 1 million payout after accusing the agency of wrongly firing them because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate. On Wednesday, a jury in the U.S District Court for the Northern District of California sided with the employees who refused the vaccine for religious reasons. BART has been ordered to pay the group more than 7.8 million, with the individual employees receiving between nearly 1.2 million and 1.5 million each. In a class-action lawsuit filed in October 2022, employees said BART granted the vaccine exemption but denied accommodations... Employees said when they refused to receive the vaccine, they were fired.

Lassa fever suspected in death of Iowa resident who traveled to West Africa <https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/lassa-fever-suspected-death-iowa-resident-traveled-west-115240552> --The CDC is assisting Iowa health officials to identify people who had contact with the patient after symptoms began. | 28 Oct 2024 | Health officials are investigating the death Monday of an Iowa resident as a suspected case of Lassa fever, a frightening viral disease rarely seen in the U.S., health officials said. The patient returned to the U.S. from West Africa early this month. The person was not sick while traveling, so the risk to fellow airline passengers is "extremely low," officials with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. The virus is not spread by casual contact and patients are not believed to be infectious before symptoms occur. The patient had been hospitalized in isolation at the University of Iowa Health Care Medical Center. Testing by the Nebraska Laboratory Response Network early Monday showed that the patient was presumptively positive for Lassa fever. [Do not comply.]

UK NGO sued over censorship, U.S. 'election meddling' <https://www.rt.com/news/606824-british-censorship-us-elections/> | 31 Oct 2024 | The UK-based Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has colluded with Washington to censor Americans and worked to influence the current presidential election on behalf of Democrats as an unregistered foreign agent, America First Legal has alleged. The pro-Republican legal group has formally requested the US Department of Justice to investigate CCDH as "agents of a foreign principal" that must comply with the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). "Our investigation has uncovered shocking details about a foreign organization's influence over the Biden-Harris Administration and numerous state governments," AFL's Gene Hamilton said in a statement on Thursday, claiming that the group's stated goals "appear to be to stop Americans from exercising a fundamental right guaranteed against governmental interference by the First Amendment." According to the AFL, CCDH has "promoted unconstitutional censorship on social media platforms for years."

Liberal NGO Prepares 'Quick Reaction Forces' to Respond to Unrest at Election Facilities <https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/29/liberal-ngo-common-defense-election-day-protests/> | 29 Oct 2024 | Common Defense, a left-leaning non-governmental organization, is preparing a coalition of "Quick Reaction Forces" in order to respond to potential escalation at polling locations, according to NPR. Ahead of the election, Common Defense, which is made up of 40,000 veterans, is mobilizing its network to help "monitor extremist activity in swing states around the election," according to NPR. After instructing members in "open source intelligence" to help predict unrest around polling locations, individuals are instructed by the organization to respond to escalation by filming video in an attempt to produce "accountability," the outlet reported... The Daily Caller spoke to various experts across the political field about what to expect in the event of a Trump victory. From protests to lawfare to Secret Service protection, they predicted a more extreme and dangerous response from Democrats in 2024 compared to 2016.

'Block Community Notes We Don't Like': Harris Campaign Caught Red-Handed Manipulating X to Censor Criticism <https://thefederalist.com/2024/10/30/block-community-notes-we-dont-like-harris-campaign-caught-red-handed-manipulating-x-to-censor-criticism/> | 30 Oct 2024 | An investigation has revealed that Kamala Harris's presidential campaign is deceptively manipulating online platforms as the campaign is operating a Discord server that directs hordes of volunteers to use their social media accounts to deceptively push election propaganda... In more extreme cases, they are encouraging people to skirt election laws and using these "astroturfing" campaigns to spread disinformation they think will help win the upcoming election. Yesterday's report documented how the Harris-Walz campaign has seen great success in manipulating Reddit's algorithm, but that isn't the only social media site they're manipulating. The campaign has also been targeting Elon Musk's X. One particular goal, according to a user of the Harris-Walz campaign Discord server, is to get campaign volunteers to swarm the site and "block [community notes] we don't like.?

According to X user Emma Cawwod, at least "three buses" arrived, with individuals being guided in by representatives from "Vote Today PA," a vote mobilization group funded by the progressive organization Working Families Power. One witness described a disorganized scene, claiming, "They had these people, they had about 12 of them walked in who were all foreigners, and then they took them up to these younger people help them fill out -- they say 'Vote Today PA' -- and somehow they beat a two-hour line.?

Colorado Secretary of State Left Voting System Passwords Exposed Online for Months, Only Acted to Change Some Passwords After GOP Exposed Security Risk <https://legitgov.org/index.php/2024/10/31/colorado-secretary-of-state-left-voting-system-passwords-exposed-online-for-months-only-acted-to-change-some-passwords-after-gop-exposed-security-risk/> | 31 Oct 2024 | In a serious breach of election security, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold's office left voting system passwords publicly accessible on the state's website for several months. Despite discovering the exposure on October 24, Griswold?s team only began to change the leaked passwords after the Colorado GOP brought the issue to light. For months, passwords necessary to access Colorado?s voting systems in 63 out of the state?s 64 counties were available on a hidden tab of a spreadsheet on the Secretary of State's website. The exposed information included one of the two passwords required to modify each county's voting machine configurations, with data listed by serial number, model, and county.

Potential fraud sparks voter registration probes in crucial Keystone State counties <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voter-registration-probes-launched-crucial-keystone-state-counties-amid-claims-potential-fraud> | 30 Oct 2024 | Potentially fraudulent election materials are being probed by top law enforcement and election officials in the battleground state of Pennsylvania as the 2024 race enters its final days. District attorneys and election officials in both Lancaster County and York County are looking into potential election-related fraud after authorities received large batches of voter registration materials from a "third-party organization." Both York and Lancaster counties have more registered Republican voters than Democrats, according to state data, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority in the area and Lancaster Republicans at a 61% majority. The importance of the issues cropping up in Pennsylvania were underscored on Tuesday, when former President Trump highlighted the allegations of potential fraud in a Truth Social post. "Wow! York County, Pennsylvania, received THOUSANDS of potentially FRAUDULENT Voter Registration Forms and Mail-In Ballot Applications from a third party group. This is on top of Lancaster County being caught with 2600 Fake Ballots and Forms, all written by the same person. Really bad 'stuff.' WHAT IS GOING ON IN PENNSYLVANIA??? Law Enforcement must do their job, immediately!!! WOW!!!" he posted.

CPAC claims evidence of Wisconsin illegal 'ballot harvesting' <https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3210651/cpac-claims-evidence-wisconsin-illegal-ballot-harvesting/https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-secrets/3210651/cpac-claims-evidence-wisconsin-illegal-ballot-harvesting/> | 31 Oct 2024 | In its effort to catch election fraud, the Conservative Political Action Conference this week claimed it had photographic evidence of illegal "ballot harvesting" in Wisconsin. Chairman Matt Schlapp said his CPAC Foundation filed a complaint on Wednesday with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, complete with a witness account of the alleged crime conducted in broad daylight outside Milwaukee City Hall. The witness said in a statement that he saw somebody jam up to 500 ballots into an unguarded ballot box and then flee once he realized that he was being photographed. In Wisconsin, the law requires that voters personally handle their ballots. It bans the collection, or harvesting, of ballots by others, CPAC said.

Chinese citizen charged after allegedly voting illegally in key battleground state; vote will be counted <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/chinese-citizen-charged-after-allegedly-voting-illegally-key-battleground-state-vote-counted> | 30 Oct 2024 | A Chinese citizen, who attends the University of Michigan, was charged for allegedly voting illegally in the key battleground state of Michigan ? and that student's vote will still be counted. A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Chinese citizen voted at a polling place at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on Sunday, Oct. 27. The state's top authorities condemned the 19-year-old's actions, saying that since the man is not a U.S. citizen, he cannot vote in federal elections. Despite the fact that the Chinese citizen's ballot was cast illegally, it is expected to be counted in the upcoming election. Andrew McCarthy, a Fox News contributor and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, told Fox News Digital that it is expected to count because there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it's been put through a tabulator.

Supreme Court Upholds Youngkin Order Removing Noncitizens from Virginia Voter Rolls <https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/30/supreme-court-youngkin-noncitizen-voting/> | 30 Oct 2024 | Federal law allows Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) to stop noncitizen voting by removing noncitizens from Virginia voter rolls, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered on Wednesday in a massive win for President Donald Trump, Republicans, and election integrity supporters. Youngkin removed 6,303 noncitizens from the voter rolls in Virginia between January 2022 when he took office and July 2024, pursuant to a state law in place since 2006. Then in August, Youngkin issued an executive order (EO) directing election officials to continue this program in advance of November's election. In addition to the initial 6,300, another 1,600 persons have been removed from voter lists in the Old Dominion pursuant to Youngkin's EO. On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court issued the stay by a 6-3 vote, upholding Youngkin's EO and keeping the noncitizens off the voter rolls in Virginia? Liberal Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Kentanji Brown Jackson voted to deny the stay.

Video shows a garbage truck approaching Trump's plane in Green Bay, Wisconsin, American flags waving in the air. Wearing an orange vest, Trump sent a very pointed message: "Hello everybody. This is Donald Trump, and 250 million people are not garbage." Trump then hopped in the garbage truck, heading off to his next rally in the crucial battleground state. Trump, speaking from the passenger window of the garbage truck -- which had "TRUMP" and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" on the side, asked the press, "How do you like my garbage truck??

Trump rides in 'big, beautiful' MAGA garbage truck after Biden attack on his supporters <https://nypost.com/2024/10/30/us-news/trump-rides-in-big-beautiful-maga-garbage-truck-after-biden-attack-on-his-supporters/> | 30 Oct 2024 | Former President Donald Trump was greeted at a Wisconsin airport Wednesday by a "big, beautiful MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Garbage Truck." "How do you like my garbage truck?? Trump, who was wearing an orange safety vest, asked reporters while sitting in the passenger seat of the MAGA-adorned garbage truck cruising around the tarmac. "This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden."

House Republicans accuse White House of releasing 'false transcript' of Biden's 'garbage' remarks <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-republicans-accuse-white-house-releasing-false-transcript-bidens-garbage-remarks> --Stefanik, Comer warn the White House it may be in violation of federal law | 30 Oct 2024 | House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer accuse the White House of releasing a false transcript of Joe Biden's remarks in which he apparently referred to supporters of former President Trump as "garbage," warning that the revision could violate the Presidential Records Act.  Fox News Digital obtained a letter Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Comer, R-Ky., sent to White House counsel Edward Siskel Wednesday afternoon in which they demand records relating to the remarks and the transcript are preserved. Stefanik and Comer pointed to Biden's remarks Tuesday night, saying, "Americans were rightfully insulted, then, when President [sic] Biden, seeking to boost Ms. Harris's presidential campaign, referred to an enormous swath of the country as 'floating...garbage.'"

Dumpster fire: White House awkwardly attempts to cover up Biden calling Trump supporters 'garbage' in speech transcript as it frantically tries to limit damage to Harris campaign <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14018099/White-House-bizarre-explanation-Biden-calling-Trump-supporters-garbage.html> | 30 Oct 2024 | The White House launched into panic mode on Tuesday night after Joe Biden referred to Donald Trump supporters as "garbage." Biden was speaking to a Latino advocacy group when he made the boneheaded gaffe that drew instant comparisons to Hillary Clinton's infamous dismissal of Trump voters as "deplorables" in 2016. "Just the other day, a speaker at his (Trump's) rally called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage,'" he reiterated to a Latino advocacy group. "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American. It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been." In a desperate attempt to clean up the 81-year-old's president's mess, a White House spokesman added an apostrophe to the word "supporter's" to imply that Biden was only referring to one person. [LOL! Grammatical cover-ups won't save this lunatic.]

Harris billionaire surrogate's suggestion Trump women are dumb comes on heels of Biden?s 'garbage' comment <https://www.foxnews.com/politics/harris-billionaire-surrogate-suggests-trump-women-dumb-days-after-bidens-garbage-comment> | 31 Oct 2024 | Harris campaign surrogate Mark Cuban's suggestion that women in Donald Trump's orbit are weak and dumb is blowing up on her campaign even as the furor continues to rage over Joe Biden's dismissal of Trump supporters as "garbage." "Donald Trump, you never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever," Cuban said during an appearance on ABC's The View Thursday. "It's just that simple. They're intimidating to him. He doesn't like to be challenged by them and, you know, Nikki Haley will call him on his nonsense with reproductive rights and how he sees and treats and talks about women. I mean, he just can't have her around. It wouldn't work." The comments resulted in a firestorm of criticism from Trump supporters -- both men and women... Asked if he would have chosen his words differently in hindsight, Cuban said: "I would probably just add that I'm only speaking to the point that I haven?t seen [Trump] side-by-side on the campaign trail with women I consider strong and intelligent."

EU tells citizens to stockpile goods to last 72 hours in case of chemical, nuclear attack <https://www.rt.com/news/606792-eu-stockpile-goods/> --Households should also be prepared for cyberattacks and the use of chemical weapons, a report has warned | 31 Oct 2024 | EU citizens should start stockpiling three days' worth of goods in order to be ready for various potential disasters, including a nuclear conflict, a report has warned. Published on Wednesday by former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto, the initiative is part of the EU's push to make the bloc more resilient in the face of supposedly mounting threats, ranging from natural disasters to a major military conflict. The report encourages EU households to stockpile "basic self-sufficiency" goods that would last for at least 72 hours for fear of potential shortages in case of "armed aggression through conventional means" or other hostile activities such as "cyberattacks or the use of chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapons." Brussels had tasked Finland's former president earlier this year with assessing the EU's security needs following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict, "responding in particular to Russia's intensifying hybrid operations."

Tragic moment Gaza medic realises the corpse he has wheeled into hospital is his own mother, killed in an Israeli airstrike <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14025941/Gaza-medic-realises-corpse-hospital-mother-killed-Israeli-airstrike.html> | 31 Oct 2024 | Heart-wrenching pictures show the tragic moment a Palestinian ambulance worker realised the body he was transporting was his own mother, killed by an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza. "Oh God, I swear - she's my mother! I didn't know it was her!" Abed Bardini sobbed as he leaned over his mother, Samira, cradling her head in his arms. Bardini had unknowingly sat in the ambulance beside her body, wrapped in a white sheet stained dark with blood, as the vehicle bounced across broken roads for about 1.2 miles (2km) toward Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah. He made the horrific discovery after the bloody sheet covering her body was lifted at the hospital, where fellow Red Crescent medics tried desperately to console him.

Canada Begins Euthanizing Citizens With 'Covid Vaccination Syndrome' <https://slaynews.com/news/canada-begins-euthanizing-citizens-covid-vaccination-syndrome/> | 25 Oct 2024 | Canada has just killed the first citizen under the Canadian government's controversial new plans to begin euthanizing patients who have been injured by Covid "vaccines." An Ontario man in his late 40s has become the first person to be euthanized for "post-COVID-19 vaccination syndrome." The man was killed under Canada's "assisted suicide" laws via the government's taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program. Doctors had determined that the patient had become a burden on the socialized healthcare system. They warned that he wouldn't recover from "post-vaccine syndrome" and ruled that MAiD was a better option than long-term care.
