CIA briefings contradicted reality on the ground

Trump’s peace deal negotiators just pulled back the curtain on something disturbing

The intelligence community has some explaining to do.

And Steve Witkoff just exposed one ugly truth about the CIA that has Trump fuming.

Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner achieved what presidents tried and failed to accomplish for decades – they got Hamas to agree to a ceasefire that freed the remaining hostages in Gaza.

But the two Trump negotiators revealed something shocking during their "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday.

While they were working behind the scenes with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey – who all expressed confidence Hamas was ready to accept Trump’s peace deal – the CIA was telling them the exact opposite.

Shutdown Stalemate Fuels Funding Freeze

Trump halts $11 billion in Democratic city infrastructure funds over shutdown

The Trump administration has just pulled the plug on $11 billion in federal funds for infrastructure projects, primarily in Democrat-led cities, as the government shutdown drags on with no resolution in sight.

As reported by Fox News, the freeze, announced by Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought on Friday, targets projects in cities like New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Baltimore, with Vought squarely blaming Democrats for forcing this drastic step through their refusal to negotiate an end to the shutdown.

This move comes on the heels of an earlier freeze of nearly $18 billion for major New York City projects like the Hudson Tunnel and Second Avenue Subway, signaling a broader strategy to rethink federal spending priorities during the budget impasse that began on Oct. 1.

Girlboss governors have destroyed every state where they have taken power

Democrats Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Mikie Sherrill (NJ)

"On November 4, Virginia and New Jersey will elect new governors. Democrats Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Mikie Sherrill (NJ) are the frontrunners.

They are manchurian candidate clones grown in the DNC.AWFL.PMC.NPC.AI lab. Both position themselves as moderate moms, but are captured by the far left. Both are unable to define what a woman is or commit to banning men from girls’ bathrooms. Both regurgitate the same Kamala-style word salads. Both platforms are copy pasta: orange man bad, abortions good, sanctuary state, climate hysteria, protect LGBTQ+ trans kids. Both pushed masks, school closures, and jab mandates during COVID.

Both are former Congresswomen. Both have masters’ degrees. Both spent time in the military and CIA with suspicious stints at Islamic schools. Both were endorsed by Obama, who filmed videos for both of them wearing the same shirt in the same room. Both have taken donations from CCP-linked groups.

Ironically, Abigail was born in New Jersey while Mikie was born in Virginia. They could swap places tomorrow and nothing would be different. The DNC base will vote for Mikie Spanberger because of the (D) next to her name.

Republicans Jack Ciattarelli (NJ) and Winsome Earle-Sears (VA) can win if Republicans turn out for them the way they do for Trump."

President Donald Trump has just kicked off a jaw-dropping transformation at the White House with the demolition of the East Wing to make way for a massive presidential ballroom, as Deccan Chronicle reports.

This bold move, part of a $250 million renovation push, aims to modernize the historic East Wing and create a stunning 90,000-square-foot space for grand events and state visits.

The project, which has been a personal vision of Trump’s for over 15 years, marks the start of a significant overhaul of the White House grounds all while claiming zero burden on taxpayers through private funding and Trump himself.

$100 Billion Federal Contracting Scam

James O’Keefe Uncovers New Massive Fraud

A sweeping undercover investigation has ignited controversy across the federal contracting world after journalist James O’Keefe released footage allegedly exposing a billion-dollar fraud within the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program.

The video, published Monday by O’Keefe Media Group and already viewed more than 2.3 million times, features Melayne Cromwell, a contract manager for ATI Government Solutions, describing how her firm uses its minority-owned status to secure lucrative no-bid contracts before passing most of the work to outside firms.

“I tell you pass-throughs are a great thing!” Cromwell says in the footage, adding that ATI completes only about 20 percent of each project — far below the 51 percent threshold required by federal rules.

DeSantis on cutting property taxes

Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks Wednesday at the Kravis Center’s Cohen Pavilion

"Gov. Ron DeSantis explained how he decided to slash local property taxes while tackling other hot-button topics in hourlong remarks Wednesday at the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach.

Why it matters: The governor made his remarks a day before a House committee released eight tax-cutting proposals, all taking aim at local property taxes, which generate $55 billion a year.

Zoom in: The governor, who is term-limited next year, honed in on relief for homesteaded properties, saying cities and counties can still collect full taxes on rental units, seasonal homes and commercial properties.

What he’s saying: “So people say, ‘Well, where are you going to get the money?’ Well, how come nobody asks, ‘Why can't government spend less money?’”

Yes, but: While he said about 70% of property taxes come from non-homesteaded properties, in Palm Beach County, non-homesteaded properties account for 59% of the tax base."

Appeals Court decision goes Trump's way

Federal Appeals Court Allows Trump’s National Guard Deployment in Oregon

A federal appeals court ruled on Oct. 20 that President Donald Trump may deploy National Guard troops to deal with violence directed against federal immigration facilities in Portland, Oregon, while the case works its way through the lower courts.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit voted 2–1 to stay an Oct. 4 order of District Judge Karin J. Immergut of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon, who blocked a move by Trump to deploy members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland.

The panel, consisting of Circuit Judges Ryan Nelson, Bridget Bade, and Susan Graber, heard oral arguments in the case in San Francisco on Oct. 9.

“Defendants are likely to succeed on the merits of their appeal, and ... other stay factors weigh in their favor,” the panel stated in its new order. “We grant Defendants’ motion for a stay pending appeal.”

Florida ahead of the curve in Law Enforcement Agreements

DHS Arrests 480K+ Illegals in 9 Months

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem spoke in Bradenton on Monday morning about ICE operations.

She said since January, the Department of Homeland Security has arrested over 480,000 criminal illegal immigrants and seized illegal guns and drugs.

According to Noem, 70 percent of those arrested have criminal charges against them or have been convicted of those criminal charges.

"We are focused on the worst of the worst," Noem explained. "Bringing these people to justice. We’re not going to let individuals terrorize our streets anymore and we’re not going to let them make victims out of families that live in this country."

"Florida has been the state that has provided the most law enforcement agreements under the 287G than any other state.

Noem said she is grateful for partnerships such as Alligator Alcatraz and Deportation Depot.

Kushner and Witkoff ended the "Word Games" for Peace

Jared Kushner Reveals How 'Stupid Word Games' Impacted Middle East Negotiations

Jared Kushner opened up about his role in brokering the recent Gaza ceasefire during an in-depth interview on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, describing years of failed diplomacy in the region as “stupid word games.”

Appearing alongside U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Kushner detailed how the pair helped mediate the deal between Israel and Hamas following their two-year conflict. Host Lesley Stahl said the two men relied less on traditional diplomatic tools and more on “the intensely personal techniques of real estate dealmakers,” including “dangling presidential promises, protections or punishments.”

Kushner told Stahl that, at its core, the negotiation was not complicated. “We wanted the hostages to come out. We wanted a real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a way to bring humanitarian aid into the people,” he said. “And then we had to write all these complex words to deal with the 50 years of stupid word games that everyone in that region is so used to playing.”

He said both sides ultimately wanted the same outcome — peace — but needed help navigating the political language that had bogged down prior negotiations.

Stahl pressed Kushner and Witkoff about their extensive business ties to Middle Eastern countries and whether that presented conflicts of interest...typical of her. Kushner dismissed the criticism. “What people call conflicts of interest, Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships,” he said. “If Steve and I didn’t have these deep relationships, the deal we were able to get done — that freed these hostages — would not have occurred.”

Yes, hell has frozen over—we agree with The Washington Post. The paper’s editorial, “The Gaza ceasefire is cracking. Hamas is to blame,” acknowledged what few in the mainstream admit:

President Donald Trump’s diplomacy worked. “Consider this a win for President Donald Trump, who brought about the ceasefire,” the Post wrote.

Israel recovered its hostages, Hamas began collapsing, and Qatar abandoned its onetime proxies. Trump’s strategy—letting terrorists destroy themselves while regional powers pursue profit—has redefined Middle East peace.

Against every prediction, it appears the art of the deal succeeded where generations of career diplomats failed. [Richard Luthmann]

Good Night, Patriots!

Trump's response to Australia's Ambassador

Former Prime Minister and now Ambassador to the U.S.

Trump’s Hilarious Takedown of Rude Ambassador Is Everything!

In a moment of pure, unscripted political theater that showcased his signature combination of wit and strength, President Donald J. Trump masterfully turned a diplomatic setting into a powerful lesson on loyalty and respect.

During a bilateral meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, a reporter attempted to dredge up a years-old, derogatory comment made by the current Australian Ambassador to the United States, Kevin Rudd. Rather than sidestepping the issue, President Trump confronted it head-on, delivering a response so savagely honest and hilarious that it left the entire room in stitches and the ambassador utterly humiliated.

The scene unfolded during a question-and-answer session, where an Australian reporter presented President Trump with Ambassador Rudd’s past inflammatory remarks. In 2020, Rudd had taken to social media to label President Trump the “most destructive” president in American history and “a traitor to the West.”

Instead of offering a dry, diplomatic rebuttal, President Trump demonstrated his flawless command of the room. With perfect comedic timing and a tone of genuine bemusement, he responded, “I don’t know anything about him. If he said something bad, maybe he’d like to apologize.” He then turned to Prime Minister Albanese and asked, “Did an ambassador say something bad about me? Don’t tell me! Where is he? Is he still working for you?”

When President Trump directly confronted Rudd, who was seated in the room, the ambassador offered a weak, excuse-laden justification, stammering, “Before I took this position, Mr. President.”

“I don’t like you either, and I probably never will!” The room immediately erupted in roaring laughter, validating the President’s bold and unapologetic stance.

This exchange was far more than just a moment of comedy; it was a profound demonstration of President Trump’s refusal to abide by the hypocritical norms of the global elite.

NO Kings Protest a "joke"

A confident President Donald Trump dismissed the “No Kings” protesters

who took to the streets across the nation over the weekend, rejecting them as a “joke” before adding “I work my ass off.”

Trump delivered the observation to reporters before exiting Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews when approached about the demonstrations, waving them and their puerile participants away by saying, “I think it’s a joke.”

“I looked at the people — they’re not representative of this country. And I looked at all the brand new signs… I guess it was paid for by [George] Soros and other radical left lunatics,” Trump continued. “It looks like it was. We’re checking it out.”

“The demonstrations were very small, very ineffective, and the people were whacked out. When you look at those people, those are not representative of the people of our country,” he added.

Trump then made clear his work as a democratically elected leader is far removed from that of an hereditary monarch. [presscorp.org]

Trump won the Electoral College with 312 electoral votes to Harris' 226. Trump won every swing state, including the first win of Nevada by Republicans since 2004. Trump won the national popular vote with a plurality of 49.8%, making him the first Republican to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.

Donald Trump received 77,302,580 in 2024. And I am one of the 77 million that knows he is not a king but elected overwhelming by the American citizens.

"While protesters themselves were not paid, so they say, news reports confirm that funding from foundations linked to George Soros and other organizations went to organizers of the "No Kings" protests.

The Open Society Foundations gave a $3 million grant to the Indivisible organization, which helped manage and organize the demonstrations. Indivisible's co-founder, Leah Greenberg, pushed back on the claims that protesters were paid.

This funding supported the organization and infrastructure of the protests, not individual participants."

John Bolton's Indictment

Ty Cobb defends Bolton prosecution as legally sound

John Bolton’s indictment isn’t just a political witch hunt, despite what he claims. Former White House attorney Ty Cobb insists the case against the ex-national security adviser has a solid legal footing, rooted in serious allegations of mishandling sensitive national defense information.

The Hill reported that federal prosecutors charged Bolton with 18 counts tied to retaining and transmitting classified information after his 2019 exit from the Trump administration. The Justice Department alleges he kept sensitive materials at his home and sent over a thousand pages of “diary-like entries” to two relatives.

The Biden administration previously passed on prosecuting Bolton, likely to protect intelligence-gathering methods related to Iran, according to Cobb.

Cobb, however, sees a clear distinction between Bolton’s case and recent indictments of figures like James Comey and Letitia James. While those cases stirred their own controversies, Bolton’s involves specific allegations of mishandling sensitive documents.

The legal merits, not just Trump’s grudges, drive this prosecution, Cobb insists.

Trump’s Renewed Push for Energy Independence - Drill, baby, Drill!

Trump pushes to unlock Alaska refuge for oil exploration

President Donald Trump is charging full steam ahead to unlock the vast energy potential of Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), a move that’s got environmentalists clutching their recycled hemp bags.

The administration is gearing up to allow oil and gas leasing across the entire 1.56-million-acre coastal plain of ANWR, a pristine tundra on Alaska’s North Slope, reversing over four decades of protective status as part of a broader push for fossil fuel dominance, Politico reported.

This isn’t a new fight—ANWR’s coastal plain, part of the largest wildlife refuge in North America established in 1980, has long been a battleground between energy advocates and conservationists.

Under Biden, a revised environmental impact statement in November 2024 restricted leasing to just 400,000 acres with tight rules on caribou habitat, and a second lease sale before he left office drew zero interest.

Now, Trump is back with a vengeance, issuing an executive order on his first day in his current term to rescind Biden’s restrictions and reopen the entire coastal plain for drilling.

Still, with a budget reconciliation bill passed in July mandating at least four lease sales over the next decade, the administration is betting big on Alaska’s untapped reserves. It’s a gamble, but if it pays off, it could mean energy security over endless progressive hand-wringing.

High-Stakes Game of Chicken

Trump slams Democrats as shutdown deadlock enters third week

President Donald Trump is throwing verbal haymakers at Democrats as the government shutdown grinds into its third week with no resolution in sight.

The crux of this mess is a bitter standoff over a funding bill, where Democrats are holding firm on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies set to lapse in 2025, while Trump and his team push back hard against what they see as wasteful spending, as Fox News reports.

This shutdown kicked off weeks ago when Democrats refused to budge on a funding bill without those healthcare subsidies included. Shutdown Stalemate Impacts Federal Workers.

As a result, hundreds of thousands of federal employees are caught in the crossfire, with their paychecks on hold while politicians bicker in Washington.

Average monthly premium: Between $381 and $507, depending on the plan type and provider.

Monthly premium variation: Costs are affected by the plan's "metal level" (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), which determines the ratio of premium to out-of-pocket costs.

Other out-of-pocket costs: Plans also have deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, which are paid before the plan begins to cover costs.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) costs the government hundreds of billions of dollars primarily through subsidies that lower health insurance premiums for individuals. For instance, extending the enhanced subsidies would cost the government approximately $350 billion over a decade.

Beyond subsidies, ACA-related spending also includes marketplace tax credits, which cost nearly $14 billion in fiscal year 2024.

Republicans argue that the ACA has driven up health insurance costs for many families, who are forced to pay higher premiums and deductibles for more comprehensive plans than they previously had.
