Vivek loses Ohio's Govrnorship

Vivek Ramaswamy Suffers Painful Loss to Amy Acton in Ohio Governor's Race

Democrat Amy Acton notched a massive victory on Tuesday, defeating Republican Vivek Ramaswamy in the Ohio gubernatorial race

Despite being a swing state for decades, Ohio began breaking right back in 2016 when then-candidate Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton by more than eight points. Trump won it again in 2020 by eight points, and most recently in 2024 by over 11 points while running against Kamala Harris.

Vice President J.D. Vance also hails from Ohio and was easily elected to the U.S. Senate from his home state in 2022. Ramaswamy ran in the 2024 GOP presidential primaries before dropping out to endorse Trump. After Trump’s 2024 victory, he quickly pivoted his focus to the Ohio governor’s race.

A controversial ad featuring Acton’s estranged mother, Donna Arthur, was reportedly pulled off the air by Ramaswamy last week after it seemed to backfire with voters. In the ad, Acton’s mom called her a “lifetime liar” and told Ohioans not to support her candidacy.>br />

Bomb Threats force Europe to ground seven planes

Bomb threats force emergency landings on seven flights including two from Britain

Seven passenger flights across Europe, including two that left the UK, faced bomb threats within hours, triggering emergency landings, airport lockdowns, and fighter escorts that the British government branded a malicious hoax.

The Sun reported a rapid cluster of alerts that grounded planes in Poland, Italy, Spain, and Bulgaria after threats hit carriers including Polish Airlines, Ryanair, and Wizz Air.

Passengers and crews were diverted, evacuated, and held while bomb squads and counter-terrorism units searched aircraft. Where checks were completed and disclosed, no explosives turned up. The UK government called the spate a “malicious hoax.”

Tuesday morning’s chaos marked the third emergency landing of a UK-departure flight over a bomb threat in under 24 hours.

Iran's Underground Missile Facility

The United States launched new strikes against Iran's strategically important Qeshm Island on Monday

This is a part of a series of limited military operations carried out in recent weeks even as President Donald Trump signaled that a diplomatic agreement could avert renewed large-scale fighting, The Wall Street Journal reported.

U.S. officials told the Journal the strikes were intended to prevent Iranian forces from threatening commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passageway for global oil shipments.

The operations have largely been conducted without public announcements, reflecting an administration effort to contain Iranian military threats without signaling a return to full-scale war, according to the report.

Qeshm Island, situated near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, houses an underground missile facility, a naval base, and a major desalination plant.

“Mostly peaceful” becomes a disgrace when politicians use it to shrug off somebody else’s burned business.

The shopkeeper still has rent to pay, employees still need wages, and a neighborhood loses something that took years to build. Officials who excuse destruction, shift its costs onto people with far less power than the activists commanding their attention.

That is a rotten bargain for everyone expected to keep working, paying taxes, and accepting assurances that everything remains under control. Voters have every right to reject leaders who treat public order as an embarrassment to their political coalition. A burned storefront doesn’t become less destroyed because the people defending the protest have found a flattering adjective.

Small Business Administration

Trump Administration Delivers Second Consecutive Year of $100 Billion Small-Business Support, SBA Reports

One hundred billion dollars. Not funneled to multinational conglomerates or politically wired insiders. Directed to Main Street.

The Small Business Administration guaranteed 62,205 loans worth $39.5 billion through its core lending programs in fiscal 2026 – the third-highest loan volume ever recorded.

The broader $100 billion total encompasses private investment, disaster aid, and direct business support, all flowing through an ecosystem that President Trump’s policies deliberately constructed.

Here’s what makes this even more impressive. A 43-day government shutdown froze SBA lending for nearly two months, draining an estimated $5 billion in potential financing.

The engine Trump built was strong enough to absorb that hit and still post historic numbers. That’s not luck. That’s policy working exactly as designed.

A FORMER MAYOR, a Gulfstream Hotel rep, a real estate advisor and a neighborhood association official are the newest members of two Lake Worth Beach advisory boards. Appointed to three openings on the Business Advisory Board, listed in order of their ranking by a point-based vote of the City Commission on Oct. 27:

Craig Frost, chairman of the Neighborhood Association Presidents Council. A Pineapple Beach resident, he operates an audio electronics and marine upholstery business.

Lawrence Cassenti, general manager of the Gulfstream Hotel since March 2025. He lives in Eden Place.

Pam Triolo Clahane, Lake Worth Beach’s mayor from November 2011 to March 2021. She’s a Realtor who lives in Parrot Cove.

Appointed to one opening on the Planning and Zoning Board:

Christopher Scott, a real estate advisor who told commissioners he moved to College Park in 2025 “to escape a lot of the crazy development in West Palm Beach.’’

To fill the openings, commissioners ranked their top three choices, giving three points for their first selection, two for the second and one for the third.

The top BAB scorers: Frost with nine points, Cassenti with 8 and Clahane, seven. Scott received 13 points for the PZB opening, ahead of Bryant Park Neighborhood Association President Danielle Hartman (nine) and Hartman’s husband, Thomas Forlenza (eight).

The Business Advisory Board vacancies were created when three members left: Gulfstream, Hotel developer Amy Gill resigned because she was unable to remotely attend meetings, while Hannah Crawford and Camila Zavala were removed for violating attendance rules, said BAB Chair Erin Allen.

FBI makes arrest of government contractor

Federal authorities have arrested a government contractor

He was accused of accessing highly classified CIA intelligence and providing sensitive national defense information to his romantic partner, who allegedly used the material in articles published online.

Prosecutors say the disclosures involved some of the nation’s most closely guarded secrets.

A 42-year-old government contractor with access to top-secret intelligence was arrested this month after federal investigators accused him of illegally providing classified national defense information to his girlfriend, a journalist who published articles based on sensitive government assessments.

Ian A. Brinksman, of Washington, D.C., was arrested Oct. 23 following an FBI search of his residence and charged with unlawfully transmitting national defense information, according to the Justice Department.

Teamsters president backs GOP Sen. Ashley Moody as Florida vote nears

Well who in he!! would vote for a communist?

Teamsters boss Sean O’Brien cast his Florida ballot for Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, a break with the left that drew sharp pushback from Democrats and union critics.

Fox News reported that International Brotherhood of Teamsters General President Sean O’Brien announced over the weekend he had voted for Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., and was proud to endorse her.

O’Brien, a self-described lifelong Democrat who leads one of the nation’s oldest and largest unions, framed the choice as about pensions, jobs, and apprenticeship programs, not party labels.

Moody faces Democratic nominee Angie Nixon, a Jacksonville state lawmaker whose platform is considered DSA-aligned, with polls set to open nationwide in a matter of hours at the time of the announcement.

The Michigan congresswoman’s surprise endorsement of Republican Mike Rogers has triggered staff resignations, furious Democratic criticism, and an invitation from President Trump to switch parties.

President Donald Trump invited Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens of Michigan to join the Republican Party on Sunday after she endorsed Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers over her party’s nominee, Abdul El-Sayed, prompting fierce criticism from Democratic leaders and the resignations of several congressional staff members.

The unexpected endorsement came just two days before Tuesday’s midterm elections and followed a bitter dispute between Stevens and El-Sayed, who narrowly defeated her in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary in August. [Patrick Houck]

Financial institutions targeted President Trump, his supporters, and conservative-leaning organizations

Pre-Midterm Treasury Report Confirms Conservatives Were Debanked Under Joe Biden’s Administration

For years, conservatives who said they were being cut off from the banking system were dismissed as paranoid. Now the Treasury Department has confirmed it.

On October 14, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Treasury bureau that regulates national banks, released the findings of its review of the nation’s nine largest banks.

All nine had policies between 2020 and September 2025 that could deny or limit financial services to Americans based on their political or religious beliefs or their lawful business activities. The banks were:

JPMorgan Chase

Bank of America

Citibank

Wells Fargo

U.S. Bank

Capital One

PNC Bank

Alaska Senate Race

Tim Scott declines straight answer on Alaska Senate outcome as ballot confusion probe heats up

Sen. Tim Scott refused a yes-or-no answer on accepting Alaska Senate results if Democrat Mary Peltola wins, pointing instead to a ballot scheme under federal investigation.

On NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, the South Carolina Republican faced repeated questions from Kristen Welker about the Alaska contest between incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan and Peltola. Welker wanted a clean pledge: if Peltola wins and the race is certified, would Scott accept it?

Scott did not give that answer. He said the real Dan Sullivan will win, then turned straight to the legal fight over a same-name candidate on the ballot and the Department of Justice response that followed.

The Hill reported the exchange as Scott declined a straightforward commitment on the hypothetical outcome and instead highlighted what he called an illegal effort to confuse voters.

Because Alaska utilizes a ranked-choice voting system, the final redistribution of lower-ranked candidate votes will be critical if no candidate clears 50% on the first ballot. We will know late tomorrow night.

Years long search ends up in arrest

Florida Highway Patrol troopers arrested one of the agency's most wanted fugitives in Boca Raton on Thursday

Jean S. Dorisca, 48, was wanted in Osceola County on a felony warrant for three counts of vehicular homicide tied to a 2024 crash that killed three people, including his mother. The Florida Highway Patrol's Criminal Alien Apprehension Team located him at a residence on Wednesday and took him into custody without incident during a targeted enforcement operation on Thursday.

Dorisca, a Haitian national and lawful permanent resident of the United States, had been designated as one of the Florida Highway Patrol's most wanted fugitives after evading arrest following the July 16, 2024, crash. Investigators say he tried to pass a semi-truck in a designated no-passing zone on State Road 60 near the Polk-Osceola County line and collided with oncoming traffic, killing three motorists.

FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner addressed the yearslong search after the arrest

“For more than two years, this fugitive evaded accountability for a crash that claimed the lives of three innocent motorists," Kerner said. "Thanks to the relentless work of our Criminal Alien Apprehension Team, Jean Dorisca has been taken into custody and will now face the criminal charges associated with this tragic crash.”

Dorisca was taken to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Detention Center He remained in custody pending extradition to Osceola County, where he faced up to 45 years in Florida state prison and revocation of his legal status as a permanent resident of the United States.

Elon: How a Democrat Sweep will hurt America

Musk Sees a High-Stakes Election Test

Elon Musk is sounding the alarm over a possible Democratic sweep that could reshape the federal government. The stakes are tied to next week’s midterm elections and the 2028 presidential race. Musk said his biggest fear is that Democrats could win control of Congress this fall and then capture the White House in 2028, leaving the America we know and love gone.

That is a warning about a possible chain of events, not a claim that these changes have already happened. In a second post, he wrote, “It would be game over for America.” Musk argues that the Senate balance in 2029 could decide whether the plan moves forward. His message to conservative voters is blunt: Republicans need enough senators to block what he describes as a sweeping effort to remake the nation’s political system.

The Three Moves Musk Says Democrats Would Make:

1. First, he says Democrats would make Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico states, adding four Senate seats and creating what he calls a strong Senate advantage.
2. Second, he says they would reopen the borders and legalize everyone living in the country illegally through mass amnesty. Musk argues that move would help establish a permanent Democratic majority.
3. Third, he says Democrats would expand the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority. The warning is that such a move could put First and Second Amendment rights at risk.

Taken together, Musk says the three steps would produce a permanent one-party state and end democracy in any meaningful sense. That is a serious claim, and it explains why he is placing so much emphasis on the number of Republican senators serving in 2029.

His argument is that election victories in the House or presidency would not be enough if Republicans cannot hold the Senate.
