Protesting Netanyahu, Arrests at the United Nations for Blocking road

Socialist congressional nominee arrested at anti-Netanyahu protest near United Nations

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed nominee for a New York congressional seat, was arrested Thursday outside the United Nations after blocking a Manhattan roadway during a protest against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, one of more than 100 demonstrators taken into custody by the NYPD.

The demonstration, timed to coincide with Netanyahu's address to the UN General Assembly, drew roughly 250 people. By the time officers finished clearing the avenue, 104 had been arrested, according to the New York Post.

Avila Chevalier, 32, is the Democratic nominee for New York's 13th Congressional District, which covers Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx. She won the seat's June primary by unseating five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat.

Avila Chevalier was far from the only prominent figure hauled away. Oscar-winning actress Susan Sarandon, Emmy winner Hannah Einbinder, and whistleblower Chelsea Manning were all among those arrested, the Post reported. New York City Council members Chi Ossé, Alexa Avilés, and Jennifer Gutiérrez were also taken into custody.

If illegals are on the Voter Roles; They Can Vote

Reuters finds 30,000 noncitizens on voter rolls since 2000 as Lee demands Senate act on SAVE America Act

A Reuters investigation found more than 30,000 self-declared noncitizens landed on U.S. voter rolls over a quarter-century, and Sen. Mike Lee says the Senate's refusal to pass his proof-of-citizenship bill is the reason it keeps happening.

Lee, a Utah Republican, took the Senate floor Wednesday to confront members of both parties who have stalled the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity bill he introduced earlier this year. His catalyst: a Reuters report published the same day documenting erroneous noncitizen registrations across eleven states, from California and Illinois to Texas and Pennsylvania.

The report identified the problem in both red and blue states, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia round out the list, and attributed the registrations to "software glitches and clerical errors" rather than any organized scheme to register illegal immigrants.

Reuters also acknowledged that its numbers are not precise because "state data is often tentative and subject to revision," and the wire service said it could not determine how many of those noncitizens actually cast ballots.

None of that softened Lee's argument. He told colleagues the data proved a point he and other conservatives have pressed for years.

The SAVE America Act, which Lee introduced earlier this year, would require registrants to verify their citizenship and eligibility at the time of registration. It would also mandate voter ID and photo identification at the polls.

The bill cleared the House but has stalled in the Senate, where resistance has come from Democrats and, Lee indicated, some Republicans as well. President Donald Trump supports the legislation.

Ketanji Brown Jackson melts down in scathing dissent after Supreme Court hands another win to Trump

Brown argues the ruling will lead to the disenfranchisement of legal voters.

The U.S. Supreme Court says in a split decision Friday that the Trump administration can follow through with a new way of cross-checking voter eligibility.

All of the liberal justices dissented against the ruling that temporarily allows states to check voters’ citizenship status while the case continues. [The Blaze]

And they want to pack the Supreme Court with MORE liberal judges? NO FREAKING WAY!

The Lake Worth Beach Pier will be temporarily closed beginning Friday due to hazardous wave conditions

The closure is expected to remain in effect throughout the weekend, with plans to reopen the pier Monday, weather and ocean conditions permitting.

Officials emphasized that while the pier will be closed, the beach itself will remain open to visitors. Restaurants, shops and other businesses located at the beach will continue normal operations during the temporary closure.

Visitors are encouraged to use caution near the shoreline as elevated surf conditions continue to impact the area. [WPBF-25]

Netanyahu speaks truth and facts at United Nations

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised President Donald Trump's "bold leadership" in a speech before the United Nations on Thursday

He credited the president and the United States with playing a decisive role alongside Israel in confronting Iran and crippling its military and nuclear capabilities

Speaking before the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Netanyahu portrayed the U.S.-Israel partnership as essential to stopping what he described as an existential danger posed by Tehran.

"In this battle against the barbarians, we've had no greater partner than President Trump," Netanyahu said. "I thank him. I thank him for his bold leadership."

Netanyahu said Trump recognized the danger posed by Iran's leadership and was prepared to act rather than allow Tehran's capabilities to grow unchecked.

It was a disgrace that over 100 individuals from scores of delegations of the assembly walked out as well as those silly fools prostesting in front of the United Nations waving their Palestinian and Iranian flags. These people live among us!

International diplomatic bodies and legal frameworks treat Palestine as a recognized political entity and a non-member observer state at the United Nations, rather than a terrorist state. However, individual factions involved in political violence and attacks against civilians and military targets have formal terrorism designations.

Netanyahu condemned Mamdani for spreading baseless lies and condemned the fake news media. It was a great speech.

States may have registered more than 30,000 self-identified noncitizens since 2000, Reuters reports

The review of registration errors across a dozen states comes as Republicans press Congress to require proof of citizenship to register for federal elections.

U.S. states may have added more than 30,000 people who identified themselves as noncitizens to voter registration rolls since 2000, according to a Reuters review of official records published Sept. 23.

The figure covers software glitches and clerical errors at driver’s license and state identification (ID) agencies in a dozen states governed by both Democrats and Republicans. Reuters said it drew on data from the Center for Election Innovation & Research, then verified figures with state officials, court records, and local reports.

New Jersey reported one of the largest errors, according to Reuters. Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, said in July that a software problem registered roughly 6,600 people between June 2023 and June 2024 even though they answered “no” when asked whether they were U.S. citizens during license or ID applications. Sherrill said a preliminary review showed fewer than 400 of those individuals went on to vote...(yeah, right, like we believe that!! N.J is so corrupt.)

The data also showed errors in California, Illinois, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South ⁠Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Virginia, according to Reuters.

The findings come as Republicans have for months pressed for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE America, Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections and photo identification to vote.

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, sought to advance legislation containing parts of the SAVE America Act on the Senate Sept. 23, but Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., objected, blocking Lee’s attempt to advance that bill quickly by unanimous consent.

“Don’t be fooled—Trump’s red-carpet rollout for Xi is a strategic coup.

Steven W. Mosher of the New York Post wrote, “China’s initiative to replace the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is failing. Xi himself was basically sidelined at this month’s BRICS summit in India; he skipped the obligatory banquet and left a day early. Media apologists claimed he was tired, but it’s more likely that he was just tired of being ignored.

“Now, just two weeks later, the American president’s impressive show of hospitality—giving him face, as it’s known in Chinese culture—not only massages Xi’s ego, it also provides useful propaganda fodder for his captive audience back in China.

“And it costs America nothing.

“Trump, on the other hand, has cost China dearly. He has radically reduced China’s inroads into the Western Hemisphere, ousting its agents from Venezuela and the Panama Canal.

With the Cuban dictatorship apparently unable to keep the lights on, and China now permanently shut out of Greenland, Beijing’s losses in the Americas appear certain to keep piling up.”[Don Surber]

Rubio takes on Dual Role with the Government

Trump makes Rubio's national security adviser role permanent, formalizing historic dual appointment

President Trump signed a commission permanently installing Marco Rubio as national security adviser while Rubio keeps his post as Secretary of State, making him only the second person in American history to hold both jobs at once.

A White House official confirmed the signing, which The Hill reported on Monday. Rubio had been serving in the national security adviser role on an acting basis since May 2025, when Trump tapped him to replace Mike Waltz.

President Donald Trump replaced Mike Waltz as National Security Adviser in May 2025 following a high-profile messaging scandal, political pressure from conservative activists, and internal West Wing friction, as reported by outlets like the BBC. Trump subsequently nominated Waltz to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the interim national security adviser.

The formal commission ends more than sixteen months of interim status and cements a consolidation of foreign-policy authority that has no modern precedent outside the Nixon era.

The last person to serve simultaneously as Secretary of State and national security adviser was Henry Kissinger, who held both titles from 1973 to 1975 under President Nixon. Rubio now joins that short list of one.

JENNINGS: “It was a momentous thing.”

Scott Jennings Makes CNN Face the Greenland Deal They Said Would Never Happen

Scott Jennings, CNN’s lone conservative voice, turned an on-air discussion of President Trump’s new Greenland Deal into a victory lap. The other panelists were left to listen as Jennings revisited months of criticism aimed at Trump’s Greenland vision.

For months, critics on the left had claimed that Trump was undermining American foreign policy and putting the relationship with Denmark at risk. They also argued that his approach was weakening Europe and NATO. Jennings used the segment to remind the panel of those warnings—and to compare them with what he said actually happened.

Jennings pointed to remarks from Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. The source account described those remarks as strongly pro-American and pro-Trump. According to the transcript published via Overton News, Frederiksen heaped praise on both Trump and the United States.

That collided with earlier predictions that an agreement involving the United States and Greenland would never happen. Jennings placed those predictions beside the outcome he was describing: a deal that got done despite the uproar, followed by a speech he said could not have been more supportive of Trump and American interests.

American technology companies moved to Florida

Two of California's important tech companies moved to Florida

California lost 100,397 tax filers and $11.9 billion in adjusted gross income. New York lost 71,987 filers. Florida gained 55,359 filers and $20.6 billion in income which is more than any other state in the union. The current is unmistakable. ServiceNow and D-Wave just followed it to the Palm Beaches.

In the past year, two of California's most important technology companies both shifted their futures to the same Florida county. One a Fortune 500 AI leader, the other the world's only dual-platform quantum computing pioneer. They are not outliers. They are the clearest signal yet of a structural reordering of the American technology economy.

ServiceNow, the Santa Clara-based Fortune 500 AI platform with nearly $11 billion in revenue and more than 27,000 employees worldwide, committed to a 200,000-square-foot regional innovation hub at 10 CityPlace in downtown West Palm Beach.

The expansion will generate over 850 jobs in five years at an average salary of $170,000, with projected regional economic impact above $1.8 billion. CEO Bill McDermott didn't hedge: "The AI innovation economy has a new epicenter in West Palm Beach, Florida." Inside the hub, ServiceNow is also building an AI Institute and a startup accelerator — engineered to seed the next generation of enterprise technology companies in the region.

Months later, D-Wave Quantum Inc., the world's only dual-platform quantum computing company — announced it would relocate its global headquarters from Palo Alto to Boca Raton, establishing its primary U.S. R&D facility at the Boca Raton Innovation Campus.

D-Wave simultaneously signed a $20 million agreement with Florida Atlantic University to install an Advantage2 quantum computer on campus, making FAU the first Florida university to host a dedicated quantum system. State and city performance-based incentives exceeded $5 million. More than 100 high-paying technology and research positions are expected on the ground by year's end.

Seattle is paying to manage crime it refuses to stop

Seattle mayor spends $1.7 million on grocery store security instead of enforcing the law

It's easier to ignore the problem than to fix it

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is funneling $1.7 million in taxpayer money to hire security guards and patch up grocery stores battered by retail theft, a plan critics say treats the symptom while ignoring the disease of rampant crime.

Wilson announced the city-funded grocery-support initiative earlier this week as part of Seattle's 2026 budget. The plan targets 10 independent grocery stores, offering one-time funding for security upgrades and repairs along with a full year of business support. The city will also partner with the Independent Grocers Alliance to study eight neighborhoods as potential sites for new grocery stores.

The mayor framed the spending as a lifeline for neighborhoods losing access to affordable food. In a social media post, Wilson said that "keeping our neighborhood grocery stores safe and supported is essential to making sure every Seattleite has a reliable, affordable grocery store near them."

But the announcement landed in a city where larceny-theft is the most commonly reported crime in every police precinct, and where the police force has been gutted over the past five years. Wilson announced that she had hired 66 new police officers.

Critics say the city is paying to manage crime it refuses to stop.

Defying a little man with a little gavel would do the nation good.

Late-night ruling has turned the White House press dispute into an argument over whether presidents must obey judges. Don Surber reports that Judge Timothy Kelly temporarily ordered restoration of CNN, MS NOW and Politico’s credentials, finding likely due-process violations.

Surber's proposed response: ignore him. But the hour of a ruling does not determine its authority, and temporary relief is not a final merits judgment. The Supreme Court’s general rule requires compliance with orders issued by courts possessing jurisdiction until those orders are reversed through proper proceedings.

Will Trump use White House press access to make his stand against what many regard as a runaway judiciary?

Ignore the judge. Is Donald Trump the president or are the district judges in DC running the country?[Don Surber]

A deliberate assault by the Biden-Harris DOJ and Special Counsel Jack Smith

House Judiciary report accuses Biden-era DOJ of spying on GOP lawmakers during Jack Smith's Trump investigations

The House Judiciary Committee released an interim report Wednesday alleging the Biden-Harris Justice Department secretly obtained phone records and text messages from dozens of Republican members of Congress during Special Counsel Jack Smith's twin probes of Donald Trump, a move the committee says violated core constitutional protections.

The report, the product of a multi-year congressional investigation into Smith's tenure, concludes that the FBI and Smith's team used grand jury subpoenas to sweep up toll records from at least 17 GOP lawmakers and text messages from as many as 44, all without notifying the affected members or giving them a chance to challenge the collection in court.

Among those whose records were gathered: former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan himself.

The committee's central charge is that Smith's operation trampled the Speech or Debate Clause, the provision in Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution that shields members of Congress from executive-branch interference in their official duties.

That clause exists for a reason older than the republic itself, to prevent a president or his prosecutors from using law-enforcement power to rifle through a legislator's work product and private communications.

The Ban of some news networks from the White House Press Pool

Why CNN, MS NOW, and Politico Deserved to be Banned From the White House

CNN spent years telling America that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy. Trump just threw CNN, MS NOW, and Politico out of the White House for lying to his face.

Trump didn't mince words in his Truth Social announcement Friday. "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW (who recently changed their name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility!), and Politico," Trump wrote, adding more bans were coming.

He also called out Politico specifically – the outlet that received an $8 million government subscription deal under Joe Biden. Eight million of your taxpayer dollars kept Politico on life support during the Biden years. Now they're suing the man who cut off their government welfare check.

Reporters from CNN and MS NOW went live Saturday to report their press badges had been deactivated when they arrived for work. Politico's White House reporter had her badge physically confiscated. The three outlets filed a joint statement calling the ban "viewpoint discrimination" that violates the First Amendment.

Here's what they left out of that statement: the Supreme Court already settled this question sixty years ago...a 1965 Supreme Court ruling that draws a hard line between the right to publish and the right to walk into any government building you want. Those are two different rights – and the First Amendment only protects one of them.

A federal appeals court sided with the White House – ruling the president has broader discretion over which journalists enter restricted spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One.

That case is still technically pending, but the appellate ruling is already on the books. CNN, MS NOW, and Politico are walking into court to fight a legal battle where Trump's lawyers will hand the judge a ruling that already went his way.

Austin City Council will fund Defense for Illegal aliens

Austin City Council Uses Consent Agenda to Pass $850K in Taxpayer Funding for Illegal Alien Deportation Defense

On Consent Agenda so no discussion or debate

There was a time when “sanctuary city” was the most offensive label a municipality could earn. Those days are long gone.

Across America, a growing number of blue-city governments have graduated from passive non-cooperation with federal immigration enforcement to something far more aggressive: organized, taxpayer-funded legal warfare designed to keep illegal aliens planted firmly on American soil. Forget symbolic gestures and sternly worded press releases.

Your money is now being wired directly to attorneys whose entire job is to defeat your own country’s laws.

So what happens when a city government decides its allegiance belongs not to the citizens paying the bills, nor to the Constitution its officials swore to defend, but to foreign nationals whom a federal judge has already ordered removed?

One Texas city just answered that question – and they went to remarkable lengths to make sure nobody noticed.

Lake Worth Beach man takes Plea Deal in Shooting Death

Delray Beach: Beach murder suspect accepts plea deal, doesn’t admit guilt

Facing a possible life sentence, Mark David Anderson on Wednesday accepted a plea deal that will allow him to be freed in two years in connection with the 2023 shooting death of a popular Delray Beach computer tech at a beachside condominium.

Anderson didn’t admit guilt in connection with the gunshot slaying of 58-year-old Albert Camentz during an alcohol and drug-fueled get-together at Berkshire by the Sea, 126 N. Ocean Boulevard in Delray Beach, about a block north of Atlantic Avenue.Instead, the 48-year-old Lake Worth Beach man took what is called a “best interest” plea.

That means he didn’t admit guilt but agreed to be punished, acknowledging that he could have been found guilty of second-degree murder at a trial that was to begin Monday.

The plea deal ends the bizarre case that was compromised when one of the two witnesses — Jack Feinberg — fatally shot himself last summer.

Principles First; Truth Always --The Prickly Pear

If the midterm argument is really about your wallet, the numbers aren't close

• 19.2% vs. 7.8%. Cumulative inflation: Biden versus Trump.
• 41% higher. Avg. gas prices under Biden versus Trump. Peaked at $5.01 per gallon.
• $1,200 to $2,000. What the typical household loses every year if the Trump tax cuts were allowed to expire.
• 12%: How much stock market growth under Biden lagged behind Trump’s first term.
• Net total energy exporter: Under Trump, the United States reached this status for the first time in 67 years.

You pulled up to the pump this week and watched the number climb past where it should be. A tariff fight with Canada reads more like a family feud than foreign policy. The Oval Office has gone gold, and somebody decided the Kennedy Center needed a facelift. You are allowed to be annoyed.

But do not confuse annoyance with danger. Gold trim is temporary. A worldview is not.

Every election comes down to one question: the vision, not the man. Which side is more likely to advance my prosperity and my security? That is the whole ballot. Everything else is window dressing.

It's not just what their leaders say out loud. It is that their voters actually believe it.

Creeps arrested on Human Trafficking

Man arrested on human trafficking charges of disabled person; police seek more victims

The Boca Raton Police Department is asking potential victims to come forward following the arrest of a man in connection with an ongoing human trafficking investigation. Maximiliano Buitrago, 51, was arrested along with Charlie Pardieck, 51, on Sept. 16, 2026, with assistance from the U.S. Marshals Service and the Boynton Beach Police Department. 

The investigation began when Boynton Beach Police shared information with Boca Raton authorities about the possible trafficking of an intellectually disabled adult victim in Boca Raton in July 2025.

According to police, Pardieck, who is related to the female victim, was paid to transport the victim to a studio on North Federal Highway in Boca Raton. There, Buitrago allegedly photographed the victim’s feet, legs and hands, telling Pardieck the images would be sold to third parties for sexual gratification.

This is not Buitrago’s first arrest on human trafficking charges. Boynton Beach Police arrested him in July 2026 on charges involving a minor when investigators said Buitrago posted advertisements near a middle school offering payment for photos of feet and modeling sessions.

Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Anyone with information about this ongoing investigation is encouraged to contact Detective Davis at (561) 620-6167.

Going after fauci--

Peter Navarro’s book, Why Fauci MUST Rot in Prison, puts his pandemic-era disputes with Anthony Fauci at the center of a proposed prosecution.

Speaking with publisher Tony Lyons at MAHA Action, Navarro describes records he says reveal contradictions between Fauci’s private deliberations and public statements.

Fauci’s diary shows that while he was pushing universal vaccination onto the American people, he was privately expressing doubts.

He also revisits their disagreements inside the Trump administration and outlines his interest in pursuing cases through state courts. The presentation combines Navarro’s firsthand account of those policy battles with accusations he develops in the book. His central contention is that scrutiny of pandemic decisions should extend to individual accountability.

U.S. now has permanent control over Greenland Security

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a deal with the leaders of Greenland and Denmark

This will allow a larger U.S. military presence in the key Arctic territory

Trump participated in a signing ceremony on the morning of Sept. 22 alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen at the U.N. General Assembly in New York City.

“This HISTORIC deal is critical for American national security and defense in the Arctic Region,” the White House wrote in a statement on X.

During his address to the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 22, Trump announced that the United States will build two major military bases in Greenland.

“No U.S. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore, or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval,” Trump said. “We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations.”

Democrat Mayor removed from office after 10 months for Malfeasance and Sexting

Stockbridge's youngest mayor removed after sexting and spending scandals

— then blamed the city for not training him

By Jayden Williams, the 23-year-old who made history as Georgia's youngest elected Black mayor, lasted less than a year in office before the Stockbridge City Council impeached him over misused city funds and sexually explicit messages with a teenage mentorship student.

Williams broke his public silence after the removal, telling WSB-TV he never expected to lose his job. He admitted the relationship with the 18-year-old male high school student was "somewhat" inappropriate but insisted he had not violated his oath of office.

He blamed city officials for failing to walk him through basic financial procedures, even as records showed thousands of dollars in personal purchases charged to a city account.

The Stockbridge City Council voted earlier this month to remove Williams on grounds of malfeasance, misfeasance, and violation of his oath of office, according to Breitbart. The city issued a terse confirmation:

"The City of Stockbridge confirms that the City Council has taken formal action concerning the Office of Mayor. The Mayor has been removed from office." Williams had taken office in January and served roughly ten months.

Communists behind anti-ICE protests in Austin

Socialist and communist groups coordinated 'spontaneous' anti-ICE protests in Austin, investigation finds

Within hours of an ICE officer shooting a Venezuelan national in Austin, Texas, a network of socialist and communist organizations launched a synchronized social-media campaign and mobilized protesters to the scene, all while local media described the demonstrations as spontaneous.

The shooting happened around 12:56 p.m. Central Time on Sunday, September 20, when an ICE officer fired on 28-year-old Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez during a traffic stop near Anderson Square and Research Boulevard. Pérez was hospitalized in serious but stable condition and later placed in federal custody.

By 4:19 p.m., roughly three and a half hours later, the Party for Socialism and Liberation's national X account had posted "BREAKING. MAN SHOT BY ICE AGENTS IN AUSTIN" and "ICE OUT OF AUSTIN NOW!" The Austin PSL chapter simultaneously pushed a matching graphic on Instagram, coordinating with PSL chapters in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Waco.

A Fox News Digital investigation traced the rapid mobilization across at least three distinct far-left organizations, the PSL, the Democratic Socialists of America's Austin chapter, and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

It was found that their social-media posts went live within minutes of each other, carried coordinated messaging, and funneled thousands of supporters toward the protest site before most local outlets had finished reporting the basic facts of the shooting.

Networks banding together to punish Trump

All five White House television pool members, including Fox News, agreed to halt pooled coverage of President Trump

This occurred after the administration banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, a move the outlets are now challenging in federal court

The suspension landed Monday, the same day CNN was scheduled to serve as the rotating pool representative inside the White House. Instead of providing the shared camera feed that every network relies on for presidential events, the pool went dark.

Fox News Media, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and NBC News issued a joint statement announcing the stand-down, framing it as a defense of independent reporting rather than a favor to any single competitor.

The trigger was straightforward: the Trump administration revoked press credentials for journalists at CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, accusing the three outlets of publishing what the president called "fake news."

The three banned organizations responded by filing a lawsuit the same morning, invoking the First Amendment. The collision between the White House and the press corps now sits in two arenas, the courts and the briefing room, with no clear resolution in sight.

This is the first time I can remember Fox News siding against Trump, effectifvely removing him from his biggest market on cable news.

When the Taliban first appeared, many Afghan women thought the chaos of war was finally ending. What they didn't know was that a very different kind of nightmare was just beginning. And nothing they had lived through could have prepared them for the way the Taliban treated them.

America’s oil supply depends on what happens after crude leaves the ground. Refining is a national-security issue, connecting fuel production with financing, equipment, storage, and transportation.

The historical distinction matters: EIA identifies Garyville, opened in 1977, as America’s newest refinery with significant downstream processing capacity. Smaller refineries have opened since, and existing facilities have expanded.

ExxonMobil’s Beaumont expansion added 250,000 barrels daily in 2023. Future investment should be assessed through completed projects and additional fuel production, examining several routes: expanding operating plants, restarting idle facilities, and constructing new refineries. [Alexander Muse]

Cory Booker complains about Supreme Court

Cory Booker calls the Supreme Court 'compromised,' pushes 18-year term limits

Sen. Cory Booker wants to impose term limits on Supreme Court justices and strip the Court of what he calls its independence, framing the proposal as ethics reform while Democrats openly debate how to reshape a bench they no longer control.

The New Jersey Democrat appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday and laid out a plan he said he developed with unnamed Senate colleagues: 18-year terms for justices, two guaranteed appointments per president, and new ethics rules targeting what Booker described as justices accepting "unlimited gifts from billionaires."

He offered no bill name, no co-sponsor list, and no specific ethics violation to justify the overhaul, just the assertion that the highest court in the country is broken and needs fixing on his terms.

Host Kristen Welker set the table by noting that former Vice President Kamala Harris has pushed Democrats to add four justices outright. Welker told Booker the Court has become "a big debate in your party." Booker positioned himself as the reasonable alternative, the senator who wants "pragmatic solutions" rather than raw court-packing.

Peggy Flanagan's 25 year friendship with Somali who is under investigation for fraud

Minnesota Lt. Gov. Flanagan's hijab video ally now faces state fraud investigation

The woman who stood beside Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in a viral hijab video now runs an autism center under active state investigation for fraud, and both have stayed silent about it.

Nimco Ahmed, a longtime Democratic, Farmer, Labor Party activist and CEO of Milestone Development Center, appeared alongside Flanagan during a December visit to the Karmel Somali market in Minnesota. Flanagan donned a hijab for the occasion, and the video, posted by Somali TV Minnesota, spread quickly online. But what the video did not show was what state regulators were already finding behind the scenes at Ahmed's autism services operation.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services confirmed it has open investigations into both Milestone Development Center and Spectrum Therapy Center. The state terminated both agencies from the Medicaid program under a compliance review called Minnesota Revalidate 2026, a process that checks whether providers hold required credentials and follow state and federal rules. Both providers have appealed their terminations.

A 25-year friendship and a fraud inquiry--Ahmed and Flanagan have been friends for nearly 25 years, Fox News Digital reported, citing Alpha News. Ahmed is listed online as CEO of Milestone Development Center. Flanagan, who has served as lieutenant governor since 2019, is now running for the U.S. Senate as a Democrat.

Animal cruelty discovered in Lake Worth

Routine warrant leads to shocking major animal cruelty bust in Lake Worth

A warrant arrest took a dark turn in Lake Worth when law enforcement officers stepped into a home and discovered 12 dogs living in filthy, cramped conditions....no food...no water...feces everywheer.

Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office originally arrived at Leslie Torres’s mobile home on West Mayaguana Lane on August 22 to serve a felony warrant for her teenage son. Once inside, officers quickly realized the animals were in urgent trouble and called Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control for backup.>br />
Following a weeks-long investigation into the grim discovery, the 34-year-old was arrested on Wednesday for seven felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty and four misdemeanor counts of animal abandonment.

Inspectors say they entered the home to find stagnant air thick with the smell of waste, with urine and feces scattered on the floor. In a dark hallway, they found two rusted wire cages stacked on top of each other, holding about seven dogs cramped together without food or water.

Amendment 3 Property Tax

Florida TaxWatch Recommends ‘No’ Vote on Amendment 3

Florida TaxWatch is recommending that voters reject Amendment 3, the property tax proposal appearing on Florida’s Nov. 3 general election ballot, citing concerns about its fiscal impact, potential tax shifts and the process used to place the measure before voters.

The nonprofit taxpayer research institute issued the recommendation last week as part of its 2026 voter guide examining the three constitutional amendments on the statewide ballot. Florida TaxWatch recommends “yes” votes on Amendments 1 and 2 and a “no” vote on Amendment 3.

Amendment 3 would increase the homestead exemption for non-school property taxes from $51,411 to $150,000 in 2027 and $250,000 in 2028, with inflation adjustments thereafter. It would also reduce the annual cap on assessment increases for non-homestead properties from 10 percent to 5 percent. The measure would take effect Jan. 1, 2027, if approved by at least 60 percent of voters.

Florida TaxWatch said the proposal would provide substantial tax relief to homestead property owners but warned that the reduction in taxable value could produce significant revenue losses for counties, municipalities and special districts.

The organization cited a state revenue estimate projecting local property tax collections would decline by $4.9 billion in 2027 and $8.7 billion in 2028, with the cumulative reduction reaching about $45.8 billion over five years under current millage rates.

TaxWatch also raised concerns that local governments could respond to the lower tax base by increasing millage rates, fees or other revenue sources, potentially shifting a greater share of the tax burden toward businesses, rental properties and other non-homestead property.

The group further criticized the speed with which the proposal advanced through the Legislature, arguing that a change of its scale warranted additional study and stakeholder input.

Florida TaxWatch said property tax relief is justified but contended that broader reforms should address both homestead and non-homestead taxpayers while also examining local government spending and revenue growth.

Most-favored-nation drug pricing agreements now in effect

Trump Extends Most-Favored-Nation Drug Pricing Deals to Medicaid in All 50 States, Saving $64 Billion

Imagine walking into a pharmacy and being told you’ll pay three times what a customer in Paris or Tokyo pays for the exact same pill. No special formula, no premium version – just a bigger bill because you happen to live in the United States.

That’s been the reality for American families for decades. The U.S. has long paid nearly three times what other developed nations spend on prescription drugs – a fact that every politician in Washington has lamented and virtually none have fixed. Administrations came and went. Promises piled up like unpaid invoices. The pharmaceutical lobby wrote checks, and Congress looked the other way.

Sound familiar? It should. We’ve been hearing this song our entire lives. But last Friday, something concrete actually happened – and I mean concrete with a dollar sign$ attached.

President Trump announced from the Oval Office that his most-favored-nation drug pricing agreements with pharmaceutical companies are officially being extended to Medicaid programs in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Through the GENEROUS Medicaid Payment Model, states will receive rebates ensuring they never pay more than the MFN price on expensive brand-name drugs.

Twenty-six major pharmaceutical companies – from Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to AstraZeneca and AbbVie – have signed on voluntarily.

New York is in a death-spiral, and has been for several years now. If I had to point to the moment it started to tank, I’d go back to November 2018 when the Democrats gained 100% control over the State. In that election cycle, the Republicans lost control of the NYS Senate, the Democrats achieved one-party-rule, and the chokehold began.

I’ve said this many times before… one-party rule is toxic, no matter which party it is. The reason for that is because when you have total control over a state (particularly one of the largest in our country), you develop a sense of entitlement and superiority like you’ve never felt before.

The Democrats have majority control over our NYS Senate and super-majority control over our Assembly. This means they do not need even 1 Republican vote to make laws, change laws, direct agency regs, etc. This also means there is zero negotiating going on across the aisle. You, the party in power, are quite literally unstoppable, and so you become emboldened.

In the case of the NYS legislature, this has caused the Democrats to produce more and more radical policies as the years drag on. [ATTORNEY BOBBIE ANNE COX]

Homeless Fraud in Los Angeles

Trump admin unearths $75M in ‘homeless industrial complex’ fraud

The federal taxpayer dollars were spent on Los Angeles mansions, luxury vehicles, pricey vacations, and paying bail for domestic assault charges. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Turner pledged, “No more.”

Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced Sept. 16 that his agency had identified approximately $75 million laundered through homeless services, mostly in California.

States and cities receiving federal taxpayer dollars to support homeless people funneled that money into nonprofit and non-governmental organizations, where the taxpayer dollars were spent on lavish vacations, private jets, luxury automobiles, opening nightclubs, and other personal ventures, according to the announcement.

The “homeless industrial complex,” as Turner called it, involves nonprofits and non-governmental organizations that take federal taxpayer dollars, administered by states, and register non-existent identities as “homeless people” receiving aid, when no such people exist and no aid is given to real homeless people.

Washington Is Reviewing the Europe Footprint

Hegseth Review Could Withdraw Up to 40,000 U.S. Troops From Europe

The United States is weighing a major force-structure shakeup that could pull thousands of troops out of Western Europe, according to a new report from NBC News. One scenario could remove up to one-third of the troops stationed there, or about 25,000 service members. Other estimates put the possible number at 40,000, which would be roughly half of the U.S. forces based in Europe.

These figures describe possible scenarios, not a final troop movement order. Still, the review signals that Washington is taking a hard look at where American forces are stationed and how much of Europe’s defense the United States should continue to carry.

European Governments Are Alarmed--The possibility of such dramatic cuts has alarmed lawmakers from both parties and European governments worried that Russia could be emboldened. Germany, Italy, and Spain are likely to be impacted, NBC News reported, citing officials it did not name.

Those countries have some of the largest concentrations of American troops in Europe. They were also at odds with President Donald Trump over the war in Iran. The message from Washington is becoming difficult to miss: NATO allies cannot expect America to handle the heavy lifting forever.

Trump Points to Poland--Even as the review raises questions about the U.S. presence in Western Europe, Trump said America will not abandon its allies. He pointed to Poland as a possible location for a new U.S. Army base. “Thanks to the bold leadership of my friend, Karol Nawrocki, President of Poland, major progress is being made toward establishing a U.S. Army base in Poland,” Trump wrote.

He added that if the plan moves forward, the location would be announced very soon, calling it a historic step for the U.S.-Polish alliance. The post placed Poland at the center of Trump’s message about maintaining strong partnerships while reviewing America’s broader military posture.

Fear Mongerer Pritzker wants federal AI rules but cannot name the threat

Pritzker compares AI to nuclear weapons, demands federal regulation while eyeing 2028

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (worth $4.2 billion dollars) is pushing Congress to treat artificial intelligence as a threat comparable to nuclear weapons, while simultaneously auditioning for a national stage with less than seven weeks until the midterms.

Pritzker, a Democrat, sat for an exclusive interview on ABC's "This Week" that aired Sunday, urging federal lawmakers to make AI regulation a top priority. He called the technology dangerous "on the level of nuclear weapons" and took direct aim at President Trump's approach to the industry, accusing the administration of letting AI companies police themselves.

The governor signed an AI safety law in Illinois in July that requires companies to submit to annual third-party audits of their safety plans and disclose safety incidents to the state. But Pritzker argued that state-level action is not enough, and that Washington's inaction amounts to recklessness.

In the interview with co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Pritzker told ABC News that AI regulation must be a national and international effort because the technology cannot be contained by any single state.

Comparing a commercial technology to nuclear weapons is the kind of rhetoric that sounds serious without doing any of the work of being serious.

President Trump has called AI fears a "hoax" and announced the formation of an "AI Force" aimed at accelerating growth in the industry.

Joyless Behar

Joy Behar Said Something About Donald Trump on Live TV That May Cost Disney Its Broadcast License

ABC spent years telling the federal government that The View is serious journalism. Joy Behar just blew that argument to pieces.

And Joy Behar said something about Donald Trump on live TV that may cost Disney its broadcast license. Wednesday's broadcast – where Behar implied the sitting president performs sex acts with animals – is going to be Exhibit A in whatever hearing comes next.

The setup was a Senate hearing clip – one the left-wing media chopped and edited to remove all context. FBI Director Kash Patel was explaining something critical: the FBI's new hiring guidelines exist partly to help sex trafficking victims. Women who were trafficked, forced into prostitution and bestiality by their captors, wanted to help other victims after escaping.

The old FBI rules barred them from service because of what was done to them. Wednesday's broadcast – where a co-host implied the sitting president performs sex acts with animals – is going to be Exhibit A in whatever hearing comes next.

This Is a Pattern, Not a Slip--Behar has a history of saying exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong moment for ABC's legal position.

America Is Importing More Venezuelan Oil While Production Stays Flat

Trump Freed Venezuela’s Oil From Maduro and Washington’s Own Paperwork Is Strangling It

American forces dragged Nicolás Maduro out of Venezuela back in January and handed Trump the world's largest oil reserves.

Eight months later those same oil fields are still producing barely more than they did under the dictator. One piece of leftover paperwork in Washington is deciding how much cheaper your gas gets from here.

Venezuela sits on more proven oil reserves than any country on Earth. Trump ended Maduro's rule in January and promised those barrels would flow to American refineries instead of funding a dictator's drug routes. They are flowing.

U.S. imports of Venezuelan crude climbed from 200,000 barrels a day in January to 630,000 barrels a day by June, according to Energy Information Administration data.

With some major news agencies complaining that President Donald Trump has kicked them out of the White House, they are now being hammered by administration officials as well as their own colleagues in the media.

Trump this week banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from having in-person access to the White House, calling them liars. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz reminded CNN Sunday that no news outlet is granted free access to any government facility.

On the network's "State of the Union" broadcast, anchor Dana Bash lamented: "I'm at a loss for words, especially when the president says he doesn't want negative reporting. It is critical reporting. It is intended to get facts."

Waltz replied: "There's a big difference between negative reporting and garbage, gossip journalism that will sit on one anonymous source and puts it out in the ether-sphere, and it's been repeated by other journalists as fact."

He reminded Bash that former President Joe Biden did not allow every news agency into the White House and banned 500 different reporters...no whining then.

Trump's Demands to Federal Reserve fell on Deaf Ears

Trump demands interest rates of 1% or less after Fed raises rates for first time since 2023

President Donald Trump fired back at the Federal Reserve within hours of its first rate hike in three years, posting on Truth Social that U.S. interest rates "should be 1%, or less", a demand that would require slashing the benchmark rate by nearly three full percentage points.

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday unanimously voted to raise the federal funds rate by a quarter of a percentage point, lifting it to a range of 3.75% to 4.00%. The move reversed course after multiple rounds of rate cuts in late 2024 and 2025, when the central bank had worried about a slowing economy and a weakening labor market. Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh, who was sworn into the post in May, said the hike "comes at a time when the economy appears to be strengthening."

Trump did not see it that way. In a post on Truth Social, the president argued that America's creditworthiness and booming investment climate justified rates far below where the Fed just set them.

"Interest Rates in the United States should be 1%, or less, because we are the Best Credit in the World, BY FAR. Our Country is BOOMING with new Investment! If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year."

He followed up by calling trade deficits "nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS" and demanded the Fed act immediately.

"We are 'carrying' almost every country in the World, and that cannot go on any longer. LOWER THE INTEREST RATES FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND FAST!"

The unanimous vote matters. Every member of the rate-setting committee backed the quarter-point increase. There was no dissent for Trump to point to, no internal split to exploit. The Fed spoke with one voice, and that voice said inflation, not the president's preference, would set the direction of monetary policy.

Whether Warsh can hold that line under sustained presidential pressure will be the question that defines his tenure. The Fed's independence is only as strong as the chairman willing to defend it, and the president just made clear he expects results, not explanations.

Third-Country Deportation Policy struck down by Appeals Court

First Circuit strikes down DHS third-country deportation policy, demands notice for immigrants

Immigrants, a.k.a. Illegals, have rights?

A unanimous federal appeals panel ruled Friday that the Department of Homeland Security cannot deport immigrants to countries where they have no ties without first giving them notice and a real chance to object, a decision that hands open-borders advocates a procedural win while leaving the underlying enforcement authority intact.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit struck down a DHS policy that allowed the government to move quickly when sending immigrants to nations other than their home countries.

The three-judge panel, in an opinion written by Circuit Judge Seth Robert Aframe, (appointed by Joe Biden) held that deportees must know where they are being sent before the plane takes off, and must have a meaningful opportunity to argue against that destination.

The ruling lands squarely on the administration's expanding use of third-country deportation deals, which now number 35 nations, including the Central African Republic, Liberia, Ghana, and Sierra Leone.

DHS had relied on what it called "diplomatic assurances" from receiving governments that deportees would not be mistreated. The court found that those assurances, standing alone, did not satisfy the requirement that individuals be able to challenge a removal destination based on fear of persecution.

Thomas Massie still causing trouble

House GOP leaders send lawmakers home early, sidestepping Hegseth impeachment vote

House Republican leaders scrapped Thursday's scheduled votes and sent members home ahead of the midterm elections, a move that conveniently shelves a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth until the lame duck session.

Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters the early exit had nothing to do with the eight-article impeachment resolution that Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican and vocal critic of the Trump White House, unveiled on Tuesday. Johnson called it "a publicity stunt by someone who wants attention" and predicted the resolution would be "immediately" rejected when the lame duck session begins November 9.

The cancellation caps a September in which Johnson had already wiped the last two weeks of scheduled session from the calendar. The House has now scrapped at least 63 voting days this Congress, according to Rep. Ralph Norman, a South Carolina Republican and Freedom Caucus member, nine of them this month alone

On September 15, 2026, Thomas Massie shocked his colleagues by filing an eight-article privileged resolution to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, prompting House leadership to truncate the legislative calendar and send members on an early recess to avoid a mandatory floor vote before the midterm elections.

With lawmakers now gone until after the election, a stack of unfinished business, a $95 billion reconciliation package, the Farm Bill, the Clarity Act on cryptocurrency regulation, and bipartisan AI safeguards, sits idle while the Senate shows no sign of moving.

Paxton shuts down Birth Tourism Center

Ken Paxton Shuts Down Alleged ‘Birth Tourism Center’ He Says Helped Chinese Nationals

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday that a Houston area postpartum care business accused of helping Chinese nationals travel to the United States to give birth has been shut down following a months-long legal fight.

De’Ai Postpartum Care Center agreed to cease operations after Paxton sued the business in April, alleging that it marketed extensively to Chinese nationals and helped women come to Texas to give birth so their children would receive American citizenship.

“I will do everything in my power to stop foreign nationals from unlawfully exploiting our immigration system through the scam of ‘birth tourism,’” Paxton said Friday. “This operation helped Chinese foreign nationals come to Texas to evade our laws. Now, we have shut it down.”

Paxton’s office alleged when it filed suit that De’Ai had spent more than two decades helping Chinese clients travel to the United States and claimed to have assisted with the births of more than 1,000 “American-born babies.” The operation reportedly maintained locations in Houston, Sugar Land, Richmond and Rosenberg.

According to the state’s lawsuit, the business also advised prospective clients on navigating immigration rules, including allegedly telling women to obtain tourist visas before becoming pregnant in order to avoid questions about the purpose of their travel.

Paxton accused the center of facilitating violations of immigration law and Texas law. The defendants denied the allegations in court before the case resulted in the center’s closure, according to Texas Public Radio reporting earlier this month.

Illegal crossings at our border at historic low

Trump Administration Delivers 16 Straight Months of Zero Releases at the Border

“Sixteen straight months of zero releases at the border proves that President Trump’s policies are working,” said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. “Catch and release is over, consequences are back, and illegal crossings have fallen to historic lows.

President Trump made a promise to the American people that he would make America safe again, and he has done just that by giving us the most secure border in American history.”

The sustained decline in illegal border crossings and apprehensions – now at levels not seen in over three decades – shows the profound impact of robust enforcement policies. With daily apprehensions down 94% from the previous administration, the border remains more secure than at any point in history.

“Border security starts with knowing who and what is entering our country – and controlling it on behalf of the American people,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. “That means people who cross illegally are apprehended, detained and removed – not released into the United States. Our agents are enforcing that standard every day.”

Illegal crossings in August remained historically low:

• U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions decreased in August--The U.S. Border Patrol’s apprehensions along the southwest border in August (8,870) were 5% lower than in July. Nationwide, the Border Patrol’s apprehensions in August (10,939) were 3% lower than the previous month.
• Southwest border apprehensions were 94% lower than under Biden--The U.S. Border Patrol’s apprehensions along the southwest border in August were 94% lower than the monthly average of the Biden administration; 97% below the peak of the Biden administration (December 2023); and less than what was apprehended in 5 days in August 2024.
• Zero parole releases--The U.S. Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens in August, compared with 10,186 released by the Border Patrol under the Biden administration along the southwest border in August 2024.

National Fraud Enforcement Division now permanent

House votes 352–72 to make Trump's fraud enforcement division permanent, with more than 140 Democrats joining in

More than 140 House Democrats, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted Wednesday to codify President Trump's National Fraud Enforcement Division into law, handing the administration a lopsided bipartisan victory on a program that has already turned its sights on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

The final tally was not close. The House passed the bill 352, 72, with every Republican voting in favor and all 72 opposing votes coming from Democrats. 

The measure would make permanent a DOJ fraud unit that the Trump White House created by executive order in January 2026, converting it from a presidential directive into a standing division with a congressional mandate to target fraud against the federal government, federally funded programs, and private citizens.

For Democrats, the vote amounted to a forced choice: oppose a fraud-fighting bill and hand Republicans a ready-made attack ad, or support it and give Trump a legislative win on one of his signature enforcement priorities.

Most chose the second option. The result was a floor scene in which progressives voted yes while insisting the whole exercise was meaningless, and Republicans used the debate to spotlight the Minnesota fraud scandal that has put Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison under a federal microscope.

U.S. signs agreement with Denmark and Greenland

President Donald John Trump announced Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland

that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns

There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America.

“Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation.

“This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.

This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land.

“We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.” [Don Surber]
