Audi to build manufacturing plant in Macon

Trump Announces at a Georgia Campaign Rally That Audi Will Build a New Auto Factory in the State

President Donald Trump on Saturday announced that Audi will build an automobile plant in Georgia as he tries to deliver on his promise to bolster American manufacturing in the final days before the midterm elections.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Perry, Georgia, where he sought to boost Republican candidates, Trump said Audi — the German luxury brand owned by Volkswagen — would commit $4.2 billion in nearby Macon to begin construction on a plant that will produce 200,000 cars a year.

“Think of that. 200,000 cars a year. That’s incredible,” Trump said, crediting his aggressive and unpopular tariff policies for the company's decision to build the plant.

The announcement seemed timed to offer a last-minute boost to Republican candidates in the battleground state, including Rep. Mike Collins, who is trying to unseat Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff.

Trump has spent October campaigning in reliably Republican states as the party tries to hold onto its majorities in the House and Senate. Trump won Georgia in 2024 after losing it in 2020.

France finally deploying Police to contain violence

PARIS—Clashes broke out at the end of protest marches in Paris, Marseille, and a dozen other French cities on Saturday

Police made nearly 1,000 arrests

The looting and destruction that marked the previous weekend were largely contained after the government deployed 70,000 police officers and gendarmes. In Paris, masked individuals pelted police with projectiles and fireworks near the end point of the march, and officers responded with tear gas, stun grenades, and water cannons.

In Marseille, protesters set fire to garbage bins and hurled rocks and bottles at security forces, and several stores, including two jewelry shops, were ransacked, police said.

Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez told reporters on Saturday evening that the day “bears no comparison with last week,” when rioters looted thousands of shops across the country. He nonetheless pointed to a high level of violence in most of the marches.

“In almost every march we saw the formation of these high-risk groups. They broke away from the main body and sought to commit acts of violence,” Nuñez said, blaming far-left activists and criminal gangs.

Nearly 1,000 people had been arrested by Saturday evening, a figure he expected to rise significantly.

Trump Trolls Ilhan with phone meme

Trump Trolls Ilhan Omar With ‘Scam Likely’ Meme as Dispute Over Her Name Escalates

President Trump used a mocking phone-call meme to target Rep. Ilhan Omar on Saturday, according to The Gateway Pundit. The post came as the report described an escalating fight over Omar’s name and background, along with an ongoing federal criminal investigation.

The investigation moved into focus after a recent court filing by the DC US Attorney’s Office. According to the report, the filing referred to the congresswoman in search warrants as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” The warrants involved her home and property, while the filing stated that they had not been fully executed.

The report then cited sources familiar with the investigation who alleged that “Ilhan Omar” was a fake alias used to obtain citizenship in the year 2000, live in the country illegally, and run for office. Those claims were presented as part of the continuing investigation and political dispute.

A former Minnesota federal immigration judge also said the allegations could “call into question” every document Omar had filled out under the name Ilhan Omar.

The article also quoted US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, who reportedly confirmed the name at issue on Thursday. Pirro said, “Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. You had it absolutely right.” She added, “Her sister is Sahra Nur Said Elmi, and her sister actually wrote a book and talked about the fact that Ilhan is her sister. So that is her name.”

DOJ Investigates Corey Lewandowski

DOJ opens probe into Corey Lewandowski over DHS contracts under Kristi Noem

The Justice Department is investigating whether Corey Lewandowski profited from his powerful DHS role under Kristi Noem, as President Trump says dishonest aides must face prosecution.

The Post confirmed that the Department of Justice is probing former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski over whether he used his top post at the Department of Homeland Security for personal gain.

The inquiry followed a referral from the DHS inspector general after a watchdog complaint alleged abuse of his position during President Trump’s second term. Lewandowski served as a special government employee and lead adviser to then-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

No charges have been announced. Lewandowski’s side says he has not been contacted and denies any wrongdoing. The episode still puts real pressure on how federal contracts, grants, and funding decisions were handled inside DHS.

Keeping digital conversations private

Only Congress can defend our right to private conversation

Speech freedom limited 'when every conversation can be construed as evidence against them'

Wednesday, Oct. 21, was Global Encryption Day, an occasion to defend the technology that makes digital conversations as private as those you have with your friends and family. But encryption is in danger of being broken by demands from governments at home and abroad.

Encryption protects our banking transactions, medical privacy, business secrets, and personal communications. End-to-end encryption on services such as Signal goes further: Properly implemented, it allows only the communicating parties to read their messages, keeping even the service provider from opening them.

For many people, that protection can be a lifeline. A woman fleeing a violent stalker needs to communicate with her children and her shelter without exposing their plans. A journalist needs to speak with a whistleblower without delivering that source to the people whose misconduct is being exposed. Dissidents, religious minorities, and political opponents living under authoritarian governments need room to organize, worship, and dissent without inviting arrest.

Privacy makes these freedoms possible. People cannot speak freely when every conversation can be construed as evidence against them. Yet governments keep demanding a special key into encrypted communications. They call it "lawful access," suggesting that officials can obtain that key without compromising everyone else's security.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the Trump administration’s regulatory changes have produced an estimated $1.6 trillion in savings.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubles down on her support for transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. 

Why do we fear for the future of the Republic? AOC (who is actually a member of the US Congress) spouted some of the most idiotic drivel ever spoken in public.

It included claims that she backs men in women’s sports and locker rooms because she’s a “girl’s girl” (a term she didn’t define because she can’t even define what a “woman” is).

Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion for consumer-protection violations

New Mexico judge hits Meta with $25 billion judgment over data claims

"[It is the] single largest, if not the largest, single state verdict against the company in American history

A Santa Fe judge ordered Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion for consumer-protection violations tied to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a penalty Meta calls a tax on speech.

Judge Francis Mathew of the First Judicial District of New Mexico handed down the judgment after a jury found the company liable for more than 43 million violations of the state’s consumer protection laws. ABC News reported the ruling on October 21, 2026.

The case grew out of Facebook user data that flowed to Cambridge Analytica and later fueled targeted political ads in the 2016 general election. New Mexico sued on its own. Forty-eight other states settled similar claims.

Meta said it will appeal. Its chief legal officer framed the lawsuit as an attempt to police online speech under the banner of consumer law.

Pete Buttigieg endorses Independent, not Democrat candidate

Pete Buttigieg sides with independent over Democratic nominee in Montana Senate race

Pete Buttigieg has endorsed independent Seth Bodnar over his own party’s nominee in Montana’s open Senate race, a move that exposes Democratic doubts about winning in deep-red states.

ABC News reported that the former transportation secretary is backing Bodnar, a Green Beret and former University of Montana president running as an independent, rather than Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead.

The endorsement was shared first with the network. Buttigieg did not mention Bankhead in his statement. The race is for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Steve Daines, with former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme running as the Republican.

Buttigieg framed the choice around service and results, not party loyalty.

Liberal Judge halts non-citizen voting investigations

Federal judge blocks Trump effort to probe noncitizen voter rolls in nine states

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt noncitizen voting investigations in nine states until polls close, freezing election integrity work days before the midterms.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin in Oakland, California (nominated by Joe Biden) directed the Trump administration to stop the probes into whether noncitizens are registered to vote in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. The order runs until the polls close on Election Day, Nov. 3.

The ruling came Wednesday. Martinez-Olguin then put her own order on hold until Friday so the administration could seek an appeal. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return a request for comment, the Associated Press reported.

Plaintiffs in the case include the California Nurses Association, National Nurses United, the Voto Latino Foundation, the city of San Francisco, and Santa Clara County. They went to federal court to stop the government’s work in those nine states.

Martinez-Olguin’s order covers large Electoral College and battleground states alike. Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin sit on that list beside deep-blue California and New York. The geographic spread means the freeze is not a narrow local dispute. It reaches the states where small margins often decide control of Congress.

Lindsay Clancy defense blocked from challenging holdout juror

Massachusetts judge blocks Lindsay Clancy bid to question holdout juror

A Massachusetts judge has blocked Lindsay Clancy's attempt to investigate the lone holdout juror who refused to acquit her of murdering her three young children.

The U.S. Sun reported that Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan denied the defense request for an evidentiary hearing aimed at the juror who kept the jury from a unanimous verdict. The four-page order also rejected a bid to postpone the next court date.

Citing state Supreme Judicial Court precedent (notably the Karen Read case), Sullivan ruled that post-trial information cannot be used to challenge a validly declared mistrial or breach the strict secrecy of jury deliberations.

Three murder charges against Clancy remain pending. Arguments on a separate double-jeopardy dismissal motion are still set for November 2. The ruling closes off one path the defense hoped would undercut the mistrial declared after a 26-day trial.

Clancy, 36, is charged with killing her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. Prosecutors say the children were strangled with exercise bands. Clancy then jumped from an upstairs window and was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Federal prosecutors have identified Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in a court filing as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," listing the name the Minnesota Democrat uses publicly as an alias.

The name renews scrutiny of long-running claims about her past marriage. Elmi is also the surname of Omar's former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom she married in 2009 and divorced in 2017.

The filing, submitted Wednesday in Washington's federal court by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office, refers to her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

It asks a judge to keep a search warrant for Omar's home sealed until agents finish executing it, after The New York Times and other outlets sought its release.

Alexsander Vučić Populist of Serbia

USAID cash from Biden years still reaches Serbia NGO tied to election protests

A Biden-era USAID award is still sending American taxpayer money to a Serbian group linked to student protests that now threaten Aleksandar Vučić’s long hold on power ahead of this weekend’s vote.

Serbia heads into parliamentary elections on October 25 with so-called student protests spreading across the country and a polling gap that has put Vučić’s party on the defensive. Federal spending records show the Center for Research, Transparency, and Accountability, known as CRTA, has already drawn more than $832,000 from a U.S. Agency for International Development award and still has roughly $2.8 million obligated.

Matt Mercer reported that CRTA is known to stand behind the student-led protests and has published a list of “student demands” aimed at the government. The same outfit tracks elections, media, and public opinion on its website. The money trail runs straight through USAID’s “Elections Integrity Activity” grant, first awarded in 2023 and expanded on January 17, 2025, three days before President Trump took the oath for his second term.

That timeline matters. The expansion locked in additional U.S. funding just as the political calendar in Belgrade was heating up. Vučić stepped down as president in late September so he could run for prime minister. A poll published earlier this month showed his Serbian Progressive Party trailing student-supported candidates by two percentage points.

California's Mail-In ballots to Non-Citizens

Federal prosecutor says 20,000 noncitizens got California mail ballots

A top federal prosecutor says investigators confirmed 20,000 noncitizens on California's voter rolls received mail ballots, and his office is racing to keep those votes from counting.

Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for California's Central District, said federal investigators have determined that every one of the 20,000 people flagged on the state's rolls as likely noncitizens is not a U.S. citizen. He also said investigators have evidence those same people were mailed ballots this month.

His office sued California on Oct. 15 seeking a court order to sequester any ballots they return and keep them from being counted. On Wednesday, the Justice Department escalated the fight, asking a judge to rule on the emergency request by noon Thursday.

Essayli told Fox News Digital the figure is only the starting point.

Data Center at 20-Mile Bend

Project Tango grows: County staff grants administrative approval to larger data center Project

Tango site north of Southern Boulevard at 20-Mile Bend.

The Palm Beach County Commission said “no” on July 15 to the expanded Project Tango data center project. But previous approvals are now coming back to haunt neighbors who oppose the hyperscale AI data center.

County staff on Oct. 7 approved a request from PBA Holdings, one of two landowners in the 202-acre area off Southern Boulevard at 20-Mile Bend, to reassign land uses within the site’s previously approved master plan. That plan had allowed for 200,000 square feet of data center use and 1.2 million square feet of warehouses, leaving about 600,000 square feet unassigned.

With the Oct. 7 approval, those rights now are assigned to increase the amount for data centers to 698,000 square feet.

Fake Manufactured Polls

Polling industry scrutinized after firm admits it ‘fabricated’ data

Wedgewood Polls claimed that it manufactured fraudulent polling data as part of a social experiment to demonstrate the lack of verification in the polling industry and mainstream media.

Just two weeks before midterm elections on Nov. 3, a polling firm widely cited by mainstream news outlets admitted that it fabricated polling data.

Wedgewood Polls confirmed in an Oct. 20 press release that it is a “fictional entity” that published “fabricated numbers” and “unverified figures,” claiming that the polling firm was created as “an experimental project to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry.”

The 17 polls manufactured by Wedgewood since June were cited in outlets such as The New York Times and MSNOW and included in polling aggregators such as Decision Desk HQ, VoteHub, and FiftyPlusOne.

Decision Desk HQ reported afterward that it has removed all 17 Wedgewood polls cited in its aggregates, but added that the “removal of these polls has not changed the projected seat totals or chamber control probabilities in the Senate or House.” Of course.
