Donald Trump makes another move that will bury Kamala.

A major injustice is happening in New York…again.

And California is about to release a couple of brutal murderers.

Injustice for All

 According to the Daily Wire:

Jury selection continues in the trial of Daniel Penny, who faces charges relating to the death of a homeless man who allegedly threatened New York City subway passengers last year.

The judge overseeing the case said Monday that jury selection would take a while, CBS News reported. This week will consist of screening potential jurors and determining whether they will be available for the whole trial or if they know anyone expected to be called as a witness.

The judge also asked all the potential jurors present if they had heard of the case – and most raised their hands.

The judge prompted Penny to stand and face the gallery, saying “Good morning” in a soft voice and waving to potential jurors while the judge spoke, CBS reported.

“The truth is only going to come out through this trial. There’s a lot of evidence people aren’t aware of. There’s a lot of assumptions that have been made that are going to be dispelled,” defense attorney Steven Raiser said, according to the outlet.

Penny, 25, faces up to 19 years in prison after he put Jordan Neely, who was allegedly threatening passengers, in a chokehold. Neely died at the scene.

Another Great Move

According to the Daily Wire:

Former President Donald Trump is expected to sit down for an interview with podcast giant Joe Rogan this week at his studio in Austin, Texas.

Trump’s appearance on the podcast, which will be recorded on Friday, comes as he looks to extend his lead with male voters in the upcoming election.

This will be the first time Trump has appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Rogan was a major supporter of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when he was running for president. RFK Jr. has since dropped out and endorsed Trump.

Both Trump and Rogan have a mutual ally in X owner Elon Musk, who has gone all in on trying to help Trump win the election.

Musk said earlier this month that Trump appearing on Rogan’s podcast before the election “will happen.”

You Must Be Kidding

According to the Daily Wire:

Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said he does not believe that Erik and Lyle Menendez are a danger to society.

The brothers have been in prison for the past three decades after being convicted of the first-degree murders of their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home in 1989. Gascón says he has been reviewing the evidence, including new revelations, to make his recommendation about a possible resentencing. The two brothers were sentenced to life in prison at their second trial after the first ended in a mistrial.

A judge will make the final decision on what happens to the Menendez brothers now.

“Based on everything that I know, I don’t believe that they are [a threat to society],” Gascón told People in an interview published Tuesday. “Quite frankly, they probably haven’t been for a very long time, if they ever were. I think this is not like they were going around killing people or robbing people on the street.”

Many supporters of the brothers argue that the charges should be downgraded to manslaughter due to accusations of sexual molestation at the hands of their father. 

“There are some people in my office that believe that there is no evidence of molestation. I don’t agree with that, but that’s certainly the position that some people have taken, and they believe that they should stay in prison the rest of their life,” Gascón told the outlet. “There are other people in the office that believe that there’s probably some evidence of molestation and there is additionally evidence of rehabilitation. So, I mean, certainly we have some issues.”

“If in fact they have rehabilitated as is being alleged, and we’re reviewing all of that, they have been in prison for almost 35 years,” he continued. 

“Thirty-five years is a long time to be in prison. And especially when you look at the circumstances behind this case, it just seems to me that at some point there has to be a place for redemption and rehabilitation. But again, whether I believe that they should or shouldn’t be in prison the rest of their life, it’s not necessarily what is going to alter my final decision. My final decision is going to be really evaluating the law.”

Menendez family members held a press conference outside the DA’s office last week, pleading for the sentences to be reevaluated, as The Daily Wire previously reported. 

Gascón said at an unrelated news conference Tuesday night that he would make a decision on a resentencing recommendation by the end of this week. The next court date for the Menendez brothers is slated for November 26.

Nothing Happening, Huh?

According to the Daily Wire:

Nathan Wade, the Georgia lawyer tapped to prosecute former President Donald Trump by his onetime lover, Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis, had extensive communications with the Biden-Harris White House, new records show.

Wade billed the Fulton County office for hours of meetings with the White House, the congressional January 6 committee, and other D.C. officials, according to records obtained by the House Judiciary Committee.

On Monday the committee released a transcript of an interview with Wade, which was compelled by subpoena, in which he said that Willis was preparing to prosecute Trump even before she took office, and that she put Wade on a “search committee” to find a prosecutor, which ultimately chose him for the job.

On May 23, 2022, Wade billed the Fulton office for eight hours of travel and “Conf with White House Counsel.” Wade said he could not remember who from the White House was involved, or even where the meeting took place. On November 18, 2022, he billed eight hours for “Interview with DC/White House,” but under oath claimed he didn’t remember the meeting and couldn’t even say whether it was online or in-person. Between September 7 and September 9, 2022, Wade billed $6,000 to taxpayers for “Witness Interviews; conf call DC; team meeting,” but couldn’t remember what the D.C. meeting entailed.

On April 25, 2023, he spent eight hours on “Zoom conf with investigators in other jurisdictions,” but could not remember anything about it. In all, Wade said he couldn’t remember details 58 times. Wade’s memory was famously faulty in Georgia court as witnesses tried to explain the timeline of Willis hiring her secret boyfriend without contradicting each other.

You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do

According to the New York Post:

This Hamptons resident finds the Trump campaign electrifying.

Andy Sabin of Amagansett has installed electrical wiring around his numerous political signs supporting the Republican presidential nominee — ready to deliver 14,000 volts to anyone who might try to steal or deface them, he told The Post.

He’s had signs stolen in previous election years, but no one has dared touch his current crop, which includes messages like “God, Guns and Trump” and “You missed.”

“I hope it doesn’t come to that.”

And if the volts don’t work, he adds, “I got hollow-point bullets to teach them a lesson in life.” 

Last week, Sabin, who runs a precious-metals refining company, returned to his home to find a handwritten note in a bottle next to one of his signs, reading, “You must be very lonely. Please stop making racism and sexism all of your neighbors’ business. . . . it’s embarrassing!”

The die-hard Republican fired off his own note, along with a flag, and left it in the same bottle, reading, “Sorry you don’t like me expressing my first amendment right. Hope you are good with Christmas. Be sure to vote and Happy Holidays!!”

In 2008, someone stole his signs in support of John McCain and in 2015 a thief snatched his “Hillary for Prison” signs. Now he’s installed a third camera and has a 360-degree view to catch trespassers.

They Love Christians

According to the New York Post:

The actress starring in a radical feminist opera that controversially sickened 18 audience members over its sex scenes and depictions of sadism is speaking out.

Annina Machaz plays a thoroughly unconventional version of Jesus in “Sancta Susanna,” which was shelved due to public outrage back in 1921.

Now, more than 100 years later, composer Paul Hindemith’s controversial creation is being performed in Stuttgart, Germany for the first time.

In the shocking modernized version, Machaz plays Jesus as a homeless drug addict. She also performs in a secondary role as a naked Adam.

Machaz described the thrill she gets from performing naked and engaging in dangerous stunts throughout the show.

“What I find exciting about theatre is the possibility of transformation,” she told the Swiss newspaper Tagesanzeiger last year, per the Daily Mail Friday.

At one point in the production, Machaz dangles high above the stage completely naked.

In preparation for the show, Machaz and her fellow performers go through rigorous stunt training, with the star adding that the thrill she feels from performing risky tricks, including setting herself on fire, is what theatre is all about, according to the outlet.

The scandalous show is coming to the US this month and follows the story of a suppressed nun embarking on self-discovery and sexuality. It features shocking elements including explicit lesbian scenes, real injuries and nudity. 

The one-act show lasts almost three hours and has no breaks — but shows many sex acts, real and simulated blood, and painful stunts, alongside graphic portrayals of violence and nudity.  

Some of the shocking scenes include naked performers appearing as clappers in church bells, others scaling walls while wearing only harnesses, and a crucifix-shaped sword being thrust down an actress’s throat.

The immersive production has received mixed responses from audiences, with reports of 18 attendees requiring medical attention for stress and more on-site — with three treated by a doctor for excessive nausea — during its initial performances, The UK Times reported. 

However, the show must go on.

A representative from the opera told the outlet: “We recommend that all audience members once again very carefully read the warnings so they know what to expect.”

Donald Trump had a good weekend and the media is flipping out.

Kamala Harris is really reaching down to the bottom of the barrel to get her campaign on track.

And I have a story of treason. We might as well talk about it since no one else is.

How Hard Could It Be?

According to the New York Post:

Donald Trump went to a McDonald’s this weekend and worked the french fry station. The idea was that Donald Trump will make fun of the Kamala lie that she worked at McDonald’s. He did and worked the drive thru window. It was funnyand made Harris look like an ass.

But some people think employment at McDonald’s is far more involved than what Trump thinks. According to The New York Post:

Manning the fries at McDonald’s is no small potatoes. 

Pennsylvania mom Rayanne, a staffer at the fast-food franchise, tells The Post she often clocks in for shifts at 4 a.m., prepping the kitchen to serve up those crispy spheres of heaven come lunchtime. 

It’s a task confirmed fast-food fan Donald Trump may be tackling in her home state this weekend. 

The GOP presidential nominee has vowed to shake things up by shaking a few fry baskets at a local Mickey D’s during a campaign stop in Philadelphia on Sunday. 

“A friend of mine owns a McDonald’s someplace,” added the former head of state. “Oh, I’m going.”

His greasy labor in the swing state will, presumably, show that he’s able to work “longer and harder” than Oval Office opponent Kamala Harris, 59, who previously revealed she worked as a McDonald’s fry cook while earning her undergraduate degree in the 1980s. 

It’s a claim Trump has deemed “fake.”

But before the Donald takes on french fry daddy duties, he’d better listen up: one Golden Arches guru warns that it’s no cakewalk. 

“Being a McDonald’s employee is more difficult than a lot of people imagine,” Mike Haracz, an ex-executive chef for the restaurant chain, told The Post, casting doubts about white-collar Trump’s upcoming blue-collar gig. 

“Unless the scenario is fabricated in his favor, he will not do a good job.”

A former manager of culinary innovation for the U.S. menu, Haracz, 40, from Chicago, tells The Post it takes a certain je ne sais quoi to excel at the potato post.

“Maintaining a cool temperament is key,” advised Haracz to the oft-reactive former president. “As a fry cook, anything can go wrong, which is tough because almost every McDonald’s order includes fries.

“You have to be mindful of the oil and fry only a few batches a time to ensure patrons are getting fresh cartons rather than ones being held under heat lamps,” he continued. “And make sure that each batch is seasoned with just the right amount of salt for consistency.”

Crew members from the kitchen have shared the step-by-steps for preparing the perfect pack of those Mickey D delights, which recently ranked No. 1 in the U.S.

But unlike the average fry cook — who typically contends with floods of orders, short-staffed shifts and cranky customers — Haracz says it’s likely Trump will be strategically set up for success. 

“I don’t believe he has ever worked in a restaurant in any capacity,” said Haracz, a McWhisperer known for exposing the company’s secrets on TikTok, including how to make their world-famous fries at home. 

“He’s probably going to have a fully staffed, if not overly-staffed, kitchen with all of the best crew members surrounding him,” continued the authority. “It’s likely that there will also be things in place to make sure that no disgruntled customers are yelling at him over the counter for their fries.”

And he’s almost certain that any presidential candidate would be afforded those same courtesies if they gave fry-cooking a go for publicity.

“But I don’t think he’d be very great in that position on a normal day,” Haracz said of Trump.

And, according to McDonald’s 9-to-5ers online, a normal day on the job — one that’s not a photo op featuring swarms of Secret Service agents at the ready to shield the presidential candidate from threatening grease splatters — can come with a long line of challenges. 

From being pelted with pickles by patrons to getting chided over out-of-order ice cream machines, busy bees behind the counter are under pressure, extremely tight deadlines and the watchful eyes of those they serve. 

In fact, Haracz says people in high political places might be able to relate. 

“Depending on your position in the restaurant, you can be either a rolling up your and getting the job done or motivating others to do their best,” he said, likening a McDonald’s staffer’s role — not power or prestige — to that of folks in government. 

And should Trump actually get his hands dirty salting and slinging the shack’s finger-licking fries, he’d be wise to do it with a smile. If things go awry, a good cook still has to whip up the best serving of spuds — and fast. 

“It’s a high-volume, high-speed position in the restaurant,” Haracz insisted. “And because McDonald’s is the gold standard, they take the most care to ensure that each order meets the standard.”

Trump’s forthcoming attempt to rise to the occasion as commander-in-chef aside, Haracz hopes fast foodies nationwide begin showing the men and women of the fryer a little more respect. 

“You have no idea what’s going on in a fry cooks life,” he said, reminding grumpy grubbers to be considerate and patient with McDonald’s employees. “That person might be struggling to pay for college, or to feed their children or keep a roof over their head.”

“They’re trying their best,” added Haracz. “Be nice.”

There Is Only One Word for This

According to the Axios:

U.S. officials are extremely concerned about a potentially major security breach after two alleged U.S. intelligence documents about Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran were published by a Telegram account affiliated with Iran.

Why it matters: The alleged leak comes as Israel completes weeks of preparations for a retaliation against Iran, which attacked Israel with a barrage of ballistic missiles on Oct. 1.

• The leak could be an attempt to disrupt the Israeli operation.
• The Pentagon and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence declined to comment on the leaked documents, but did not dispute their authenticity.

Driving the news: A Telegram channel by the name “Middle East Spectator” claimed on Friday that it had received documents from a source in the U.S. intelligence community about Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran.

• The Telegram channel routinely publishes pro-Iranian content, and the profile of the X account affiliated with the channel says it is located in Iran.
• The documents include an alleged Visual Intelligence report by the Department of Defense National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) distributed inside the U.S. intelligence community earlier this week.
• The authenticity of the documents has not been independently verified by Axios.

The alleged report details measures that have been carried out in recent days at several Israeli Air Force bases, including the transfer of advanced munitions which, according to the report, were intended for an attack on Iran.

• It also states that according to U.S. signals intelligence, the Israeli Air Force conducted a large exercise this week involving intelligence planes and likely fighter jets trained for a possible attack against Iran.
• The alleged intelligence report also detailed preparations in Israeli drone units for an attack against Iran.

Between the lines: The report, if accurate, would suggest very close and detailed surveillance by U.S. intelligence of Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran, including the use of satellites to spy on operations carried out at Israeli Air Force bases.

• The potential leak could be the sign of very serious security breach within the U.S. intelligence community that resulted in top secret classified information reaching a Telegram channel affiliated with Iran.

What they’re saying: A U.S. official told Axios that the alleged leak is extremely concerning, but that he doesn’t believe it would influence Israel’s operational plans against Iran.

• A senior Israeli official said that the Israeli defense establishment is aware of the alleged leak and takes it very seriously.

Gee, Not Biased at All

Here are some reasons why Jackie Calmes of the Los Angeles Times says we shouldn’t vote:

10: As president, he violated his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”

Ask Mike Pence, who forfeited his place as Trump’s ticket mate to Ohio Sen. JD Vance because Pence wouldn’t violate the Constitution; Vance would. Even after leaving office, Trump called for terminating parts of it so he could regain power. No one should think he’d keep the oath if given a second chance, especially when the Supreme Court that he packed has ruled that presidents are virtually immune from prosecution.

9: He still won’t say that he’ll accept the voters’ verdict.

And that is still unprecedented. Trump has gravely eroded Americans’ faith in the elections that are fundamental to democracy. He lied after his 2016 victory in the electoral college that he lost the popular vote only because up to 5 million people voted illegally for Hillary Clinton. His efforts to flip his 2020 loss to Joe Biden got him criminally indicted, another first.

8: He will be held accountable for his alleged crimes as president only if he is defeated.

If reelected, Trump can order “his” Justice Department to bury the two federal cases that he succeeded in delaying past the election — the Washington trial for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election, and the case in Florida for allegedly making off with and hiding top government secrets. A third case in Georgia, state charges for attempting to subvert its 2020 vote for Biden, could well be shelved if he were back in office.

7: He’d be the first president with a serious rap sheet.

Trump has been found guilty or liable for sexual abuse, defamation, civil financial fraud and criminal business fraud to conceal a tryst with a porn star. He’s also the first president to be impeached twice, justifiably. Character counts: Voters should not hire for president someone who wouldn’t be hired by any private employer in the land.

6: He’s unfit to be president.

Take it from scores of former top advisors, including nearly half of the 42 people who served in Trump’s Cabinet. The early Cabinet members he once called “my generals”? James N. Mattis, H.R. McMaster and John F. Kelly all broke with their former commander in chief. Even those who back Trump have damned him: Former Atty. Gen. William Barr said Trump “shouldn’t be anywhere near the Oval Office” and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley called him “unhinged.” Let those two shape-shifters put party over country to vote for Trump. Voters shouldn’t.

5: He’s a threat to national security.

Trump is “the most dangerous person to this country,” Mark A. Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, says in Bob Woodward’s new book. He’s more likely to be seduced by murderous autocrats than stand up to them. He’s poised to appease war criminal Vladimir Putin and reward Russia’s lawless invasion by abandoning Ukraine. Woodward reports that Trump has had seven calls with Putin since leaving office, suggesting a treacherous willingness to undermine allies’ support for Ukraine, Europe’s security and U.S. alliances generally. He encouraged Russia to do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO members who miss defense spending targets. As Foreign Affairs reported: “His first term tested the transatlantic relationship — but his second would break it.”

4: He doesn’t know or care how to constructively address the nation’s problems.

The most policy-ignorant candidate in memory, Trump turned to the extremists behind Project 2025 for a blueprint, though he denies it now. Deal maker? He lacks the attention span, grasp of details and spirit of compromise to enact bipartisan laws. In a Wall Street Journal survey, most economists predicted that inflation, interest rates and deficits would be much higher under his proposed tax cuts and tariffs than under Harris’ policies. (And, no, Trump’s tariffs wouldn’t cut child-care costs.) He had Republicans kill an immigration bill to keep the issue alive for his demagogic campaign. His solution: “bloody” deportations of millions of migrants.

3: He’d further pack the federal courts with right-wing ideologues.

To confirm his picks, Trump would be helped, again, by what is expected to be a Republican-majority Senate. Again, he’d choose young nominees to serve for decades: “You don’t put old in, because they’re there for two years or three years,” he said last week. The Supreme Court’s far-right justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr., would likely retire so Trump could seat much-younger, like-minded replacements.

2. He’s a pathological liar.

Trump’s constant lies range from the relatively harmless to life-threatening. Residents of Springfield, Ohio, endured school and hospital closures amid bomb threats after Trump lied that Haitian migrants would eat their pets. Federal hurricane responders in the South were threatened after Trump lied about the Biden administration rescue effort. Local governments are spending tax dollars to protect nonpartisan election workers. Americans prominent and obscure have been forced to get security against death threats after Trump’s mendacious attacks. But more prosaically: Citizens should expect truth from their presidents.

1. He was not, and would not be, a president for all Americans.

Not MAGA? Not worthy. Trump talks of withholding disaster aid from blue states. He assails Democrats, other domestic critics and the free press as “the enemy within,” subject to possible military action.

Finally, the bonus, a positive reason to vote Harris. She’s not only among the most experienced applicants for the job ever, but also: She’s not Trump.

In an effort to save democracy, a California bureaucracy goes after Elon Musk and the U.S. military.

And democratic politicians really don’t understand the purpose of the Constitution.

Disgusting

According to Politico:

Elon Musk’s tweets about the presidential election and spreading falsehoods about Hurricane Helene are endangering his ability to launch rockets off California’s central coast.

The California Coastal Commission on Thursday rejected the Air Force’s plan to give SpaceX permission to launch up to 50 rockets a year from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Santa Barbara County.

“Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims with free Starlink access to the internet,” Commissioner Gretchen Newsom said at the meeting in San Diego.

The agency’s commissioners, appointed by the governor and legislative leaders, voted 6-4 to reject the Air Force’s plan over concerns that all SpaceX launches would be considered military activity, shielding the company from having to acquire its own permits, even if military payloads aren’t being carried.

“I do believe that the Space Force has failed to establish that SpaceX is a part of the federal government, part of our defense,” said Commissioner Dayna Bochco.

Space Launch Delta 30, which oversees military launch operations on the West Coast, said in a statement after the meeting that the Air Force has worked closely with commission staff on environmental protection issues and will continue to do so.

“Today’s vote hasn’t changed the [Department of the Air Force] or Vandenberg’s unwavering commitment to preserving the California coastline and the precious species that reside there,” said Ravi Chaudhary, the Air Force’s assistant secretary for energy, installations and environment. “The Space Force’s dedication to collaboration here is in many ways unprecedented — so is our commitment to ensuring dialogue continues.”

The Coastal Commission, known for its sharp-elbowed defense of public access to the state’s 840-mile coastline, has been sparring with the Air Force’s Space Force branch since May 2023, when DOD asked to increase SpaceX’s satellite launches from Vandenberg from six to 36 per year.

Things came to a head in August when commissioners unloaded on DOD for resisting their recommendations for reducing the impacts of the launches — which disturb wildlife like threatened snowy plovers as well as people, who often have to evacuate nearby Jalama Beach.

The commission ultimately approved the 36-launch plan at the meeting, on the condition that Space Force undertake seven measures to improve environmental protection and coastal access. But military officials didn’t commit to following them during the hearing, drawing fiery criticism from commissioners.

“Space Force came here and intentionally disrespected us,” Bochco said at the August meeting.

They’re Not Suppose to Have Control

According to the Post Millennial:

Hillary Clinton has called for social media companies to take stronger actions in censoring content on their platforms, warning that without moderation, “We lose total control.”

During a recent discussion on CNN, Clinton stated, “We need national action and sadly, our Congress has been dysfunctional when it comes to addressing these threats to our children. So you’re absolutely right. This should be at the top of every legislative, political agenda.”

Hillary Clinton calls for mass censorship of American citizens or "we lose total control."pic.twitter.com/g4XNXDcLC1

— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) October 5, 2024

She went on to advocate for the repeal of Section 230, a key provision of US law that grants immunity to internet platforms from liability for content posted by users. “We should be, in my view, repealing something called section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity because they were thought to be just pass-throughs, that they shouldn’t be judged for the content that is posted. But we now know that that was an overly simple view,” she explained. 

A little further down in the article:

The Supreme Court has previously ruled to keep Section 230 in place. The law states in part that “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider,” and “No cause of action may be brought and no liability may be imposed under any State or local law that is inconsistent with this section.” 

While Clinton added stipulations about content that is related to illegal or violent content, her comments come as part of her broader efforts to call for a crackdown on so-called “misinformation” on social media. Last month, the former first lady and secretary of state suggested on MSNBC that Americans could be “civilly or even in some cases criminally charged” for certain posts in an effort to establish deterrence.

This is Protecting Our Rights?

According to Fox News:

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey immediately implemented new gun legislation on Wednesday that not only cracks down on unserialized “ghost guns,” and attachments like bump stocks and trigger cranks, but also requires applicants to demonstrate basic safety principles and complete live-fire training before being granted a gun license.

State lawmakers approved the gun reform law in July, which was expected to go into effect later this month, and comes as the deep-blue state already has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. 

The Associated Press reported that gun rights advocates were working to gather enough signatures to suspend the law before it took effect.

But rather than wait for the law to go into effect on Oct. 23, or 90 days after the governor signed it into law, Healey decided to put the law into effect immediately, blocking any temporary suspension of the law being sought by gun rights advocates.

“This gun safety law bans ghost guns, strengthens the Extreme Risk Protection Order statute to keep guns out of the hands of people who are a danger to themselves or others, and invests in violence prevention programs,” Healey said in a statement. “It is important that these measures go into effect without delay.”

The new law expands the state’s “red flag” law that allows police, health care and school officials to alert the courts if they believe someone with access to guns poses a threat and should have their firearms confiscated temporarily.

Gun rights advocates have called the law a “historic attack on our civil rights,” adding it imposes unnecessary barriers on those who are law-abiding citizens and want to own a gun.

Understand, removing a right is done through a flood. It is done through leaks. We used to be able to own canons and automatic weapons. That is not more and gun violence hasn’t gone down.

I also want to point out the same people who want to take away the Second Amendment rights also want to defund the police and want cashless bail. The criminal will be the overwatch. This is the same thing that happened within the gulags of the Soviet Union and every other communist country.

Good for Him

According to the New York Post:

A resident of Hanson, Massachusetts, has been asked to stop projecting political signs onto the town’s municipal water tower or face fines, according to a statement released by Hanson Town Administrator Lisa Green.

Green issued the statement after she became aware the resident was projecting the image from his residence.

“On Friday, Oct. 11, the Town of Hanson became aware that a resident was projecting the image of a political sign from their property onto the Town of Hanson municipal water tower at 228 High St. This misleads the public into believing that this activity is sanctioned by or condoned by the Town,” the statement from Green read.

Green went on to say the town “does not endorse candidates for any office from any political party.”

Town officials are combating the visibility of the “Trump 2024” campaign logo being projected onto the water tower with a floodlight; however, it was still visible as of Friday evening.

And the cease-and-desist order being prepared for the violator will impose a $100-per-day fine until the activity stops.

“Highway Department employees have positioned a spotlight to shine on the water tower to dim the projection. Further measures are being considered at this time,” the statement said. “This individual’s actions have the potential to cost a significant amount of taxpayer dollars, including attorney fees, overtime to pay Highway Department workers to turn the spotlight on and off each day, and the potential for having to rent or purchase stronger lighting equipment. The $100 per day fine will likely not cover these expenses.”

Hanson officials wanted to be clear that they respect everyone’s rights and expression of political views as long as they do not insinuate that they are views of the town as a whole.

The Contrast

Gee, Wonder Why This Isn’t a Story?

According to the New York Post:

An Afghan national accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack in the US worked for the CIA in Afghanistan, according to a new report.

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, who was nabbed in Oklahoma on Monday over the alleged terror plot, was employed as a security guard for the agency but was not a CIA informant, NBC News reported, citing multiple sources.

It wasn’t immediately clear when or how long Tawhedi worked security before he came to the US in 2021 — just weeks after the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan and the last US troops departed from the war-torn nation.

It also wasn’t known if there were signs that Tawhedi had ties to radical Islam before he entered the US, the sources told NBC.

Tawhedi had been living in Oklahoma City on a special immigrant visa at the time of his arrest, the Justice Department said. 

It meant Tawhedi should have been heavily screened before entering the country, according to NBC sources. 

The visas were doled out to more than 70,000 Afghans by the Biden-Harris administration after the US pullout from Afghanistan. 

It wasn’t clear exactly how Tawhedi became eligible for the visa.

The feds haven’t disclosed yet how Tawhedi — and his alleged plot — came onto their radar.

Following his arrest, Tawhedi allegedly told investigators that he planned his attack to coincide with Election Day next month and that he and a co-conspirator expected to die as martyrs.

He had taken steps in recent weeks to advance his attack plans, including by ordering AK-47 rifles, liquidating his family’s assets and buying one-way tickets for his wife and child to travel home to Afghanistan, charging documents said.

Tawhedi has been charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State.

Kamala Harris is getting desperate. She has made a decision and it will probably end her political career.

Former president, Bill Clinton, has joined the Trump campaign.

And the terrorists that the Biden/Harris are importing and hate America are making their plans.

News

Here is some news:

• Kamala Harris has been accused of plagiarism with a book she wrote, and no one read, 10 years ago.
• Kamala Harris has decided to interview with people because she’s getting her ass kicked. She is going to interview with Brett Bier of Fox News and go on the Joe Rogan podcast. Be prepared for a lot of hysterical clips.
• Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom enacted a law Monday that will empower state bureaucrats to monitor and dictate inventory levels at oil refineries in an attempt to prevent gas price hikes.
  • Newsom signed ABX2-1, which will enable regulators to require oil companies to keep a minimum level of fuel on hand and permit the California Energy Commission (CEC) to mandate refiners to make plans to provide resupply during outages for maintenance. While proponents say the bill is a key step to prevent major corporations from gouging consumers with artificially high prices at the pump during periods of low supply, industry interests have slammed the bill as political hostility directed at the oil and gas industry.
• The Star Wars franchise has unveiled its first transgender Stormtrooper in the form of “Sister,” who will appear in the new book “Star Wars: The Secrets of the Clone Troopers.”
  • According to Star Wars Holocron on X, the character Captain Rex describes Sister as being someone who “expressed her gender identity differently than her fellow troopers, she featured [sic] she’d have to hide who she truly was inside. Fortunately, her brothers in the 7th Sky Corps gave her the name Sister as a constant reminder that she belonged.”

Just the Stupidity…

According to the Post Millennial:

A man attempted to set himself on fire in Lafayette Park on Saturday during a pro-Palestinian rally. Photos and footage captured by Washington Free Beacon reporter Jessica Costescu show the moment when Samuel Mena Jr. ignited his arm while standing across the street from the White House.

He was seen waving his arm and screaming in pain. Police officers approached him in an attempt to intervene, while bystanders rushed to pour water on him to extinguish the flames.

As Mena screamed in pain, he was reportedly shouting about “misinformation” and declared, “I’m a journalist, and I said it was okay.” Mena is believed to be a graduate of Arizona State University’s School of Journalism and is a self-described production specialist employed as a photojournalist with AZFamily Channels 3 and 5.

One bystander successfully poured water on Mena before a police officer moved in, shouting at the crowd to “back it up!”

The protest occurred almost one year after Hamas’ October 7 attack on Israel, which killed more than 1,200 Israelis and triggered the ongoing conflict in Gaza. According to the Daily Mail, Mena had a website that included an essay explaining his actions and his disagreement with “objectivity as it relates to journalism” in the context of the Gaza conflict.

Mena’s X account features a photo of him in front of a Palestinian flag. He also had posts announcing his plan to livestream from outside the White House, along with a call to “end settler colonialism.”

Mena’s act of protest follows a similar incident that happened earlier this year when an Air Force servicemember lit himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC. The man, identified as Aaron Bushnell, shouted “Free Palestine” as he eventually died from his wounds.

Just Great

According to the New York Post:

The Russian arms dealer known as the “Merchant of Death,” who was released two years ago in exchange for WNBA star Brittney Griner, is now back in business selling arms to the Houthi rebels attacking Israel and merchant ships in the Middle East, according to a new report.

Viktor Bout, 57, allegedly brokered a $10 million deal in August to supply the Yemen-based terror group with automatic weapons, including AK-47 rifles, people familiar with the deal told the Wall Street Journal.

The sources, however, said the deal included talks that could very well open the door to missile purchases that threaten Israel, as well as America’s efforts to protect the region.

The alleged deal came together when Houthi operatives traveled to Moscow over the summer posing as merchants set to buy pesticides and vehicles, according to the WSJ.

While there, the Houthis were allegedly greeted by Bout’s familiar face — he became a Russian lawmaker last year following his release from prison.

As they secured automatic weapons from the infamous arms dealer, who inspired the 2005 Nicolas Cage movie “Lord of War,” the Houthi representatives allegedly discussed future deals with Russia.

Those deals included the sale of Kornet anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft weapons, a European security official told the WSJ.

Complete Incompetence

According to the Post Millennial:

The FCC has granted Elon Musk’s Starlink “special temporary emergency authority” to provide cell phone coverage for areas devastated by Hurricane Helene. Starlink satellites will be able to provide direct-to-cell capability for those in the area.

“SpaceX and @TMobile have been given emergency special temporary authority by the @FCC to enable @Starlink satellites with direct-to-cell capability to provide coverage for cell phones in the affected areas of Hurricane Helene,” SpaceX posted. “The satellites have already been enabled and started broadcasting emergency alerts to cell phones on all networks in North Carolina. In addition, we may test basic texting (SMS) capabilities for most cell phones on the T-Mobile network in North Carolina. SpaceX’s direct-to-cell constellation has not been fully deployed, so all services will be delivered on a best-effort basis.”

Musk has been severely critical of the Biden-Harris administration’s response to the victims of Hurricane Helene, particularly in the mountainous region of western North Carolina. He has posted several times about the difficulties that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has posed to residents in the area even as it trumpets its top objective as being “equity.”

“Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina. @FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help! ‘Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.’”

NMusk responded to the disaster by providing Starlink equipment to enable people to get into contact with the outside world. On Friday, Musk referred to the “belligerent government incompetence” that was impeding rescue and recovery efforts.

Musk was a special guest at former President Donald Trump’s Sunday rally as he returned to Butler, PA where he almost killed by an assassin’s bullet on July 13. The billionaire entrepreneur encouraged everyone “to register to vote right now.”

“The other side wants to take away your freedom of speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms,” Musk said of Kamala Harris. He later added, “President Trump must win to preserve the Constitution. He must win to preserve democracy in America.” He told the audience that free speech depends on electing Trump, saying that “you must have free speech in order to have democracy.”

The Biden/Harris administration’s incompetence is on full display this week. Just in time for the election.

You won’t believe why the victims of Hurricane Helene are not getting any help from the government.

And we enter day 3 of the longshoreman’s strike. That’s a loss of about $12 billion.

Are You Kidding?

According to the Associated Press:

The Federal Emergency Management Agency can meet immediate needs but does not have enough funding to make it through the hurricane season, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told reporters Wednesday.

The agency is being stretched as it works with states to assess damage from Hurricane Helene and delivers meals, water, generators and other critical supplies. The storm struck Florida last week, then plowed through several states in the Southeast, flooding towns and killing more than 160 people.

Mayorkas was not specific about how much additional money the agency may need, but his remarks on Air Force One underscored concerns voiced by President Joe Biden and some lawmakers earlier this week that Congress may need to pass a supplemental spending bill this fall to help states with recovery efforts.

“We are meeting the immediate needs with the money that we have. We are expecting another hurricane hitting,” Mayorkas said. “FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season.”

Hurricane season runs June 1 to Nov. 30, but most hurricanes typically occur in September and October.

That is their excuse for people not having power, water, food, or communications for a week? Is that the excuse they are going with for the lack of response to the Maui fire and the chemical spill and explosion in East Palestine, Ohio?

They Are Proving Why We Need Automation

According to CNN:

The dockworkers striking up and down the East Coast are, culturally and geographically, a world apart from the Hollywood actors and writers who staged a four-month walkout last year. But their protests share a common core principle: They don’t want bots taking their jobs.

It’s a fight you can expect to see playing out a lot more as advanced automation and AI creep into virtually every workforce.

The strike that began early Tuesday is about two main issues: wages and automation. Around the ports, workers can be seen wearing signs that read “robots don’t pay taxes” and “automation hurts families.”

They’re fighting a trend that port operators largely want to see accelerate: more cranes and driverless trucks shuttling goods from container ships, with fewer humans around demanding compensation.

Of course, the economics of automation aren’t so simple. While research shows automation has obvious benefits, like lower operating costs and fewer human-related errors, port automation does not, on its own, significantly improve performance, according to a 2018 McKinsey report.

Automated ports “are generally less productive than their conventional counterparts,” and the return on their significant capital investments falls short of the industry norm, according to industry leaders surveyed by McKinsey. (The report does note, however, that “careful planning and management” can overcome those challenges.)

Still, automation is clearly a trend, and US shipping executives seem to be eyeing modern ports in China, Singapore and Europe with envy.

“The rest of the world is looking down on us because we’re fighting automation,” said Dennis Daggett, executive vice president of the International Longshoremen’s Association, outside the Port of New York and New Jersey Tuesday morning. “Remember that this industry, this union has always adapted to innovation. But we will never adapt to robots taking our jobs.”

The dockworkers’ concerns are legit.

Automation won’t end the need for human labor completely, but it will significantly reduce the number of bodies needed on payroll, just as it has done in many industries, including auto manufacturing and mining. One report from the Economic Roundtable found that automation eliminated 572 full-time roles at the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles in 2020 and 2021.

The longshoremen’s union is demanding a $5-an-hour increase in pay in each of the six years over the course of the next contract and “airtight” language that the ports won’t introduce automation “or semi-automation.”

This is How We Win

According to Fox News:

Boise State University administrators owe a coffee shop owner $4 million after a jury unanimously ruled the school officials violated the woman’s First Amendment rights in a conflict over her public support of law enforcement.

The jury awarded Big City Coffee owner Sarah Fendley $3 million for lost business, reputational damage, mental and emotional distress and personal humiliation, in a decision reached Sept. 13. Jurors awarded her an additional $1 million in punitive damages from the school’s former vice president of student affairs.

Fendley originally sued the university for $10 million after she closed her campus shop in October 2020, according to local reports, arguing administrators conspired to retaliate against her for expressing pro-police views on social media.

A lawyer for the administrators denied any retaliation, and accused Fendley herself of trying to get the university to infringe on students’ speech rights.

Big City opened an on-campus location in September 2020, on the heels of the nationwide police reform protests that followed George Floyd’s killing in Minneapolis. Fendley’s support for law enforcement — she displayed a thin blue line sticker near the door of the shop’s downtown Boise location — immediately stoked anger among student activists, according to the suit.

“I hope y’all don’t go there if you truly support your bipoc peers and other students, staff and faculty,” one student posted on Snapchat after the shop opened. The acronym BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous and people of color.

A screenshot of the post was shared with Fendley, who responded to it with her own public Facebook and Instagram posts explaining her support for police, the Idaho Statesman previously reported. At the time, she was engaged to a former Boise police officer who had been paralyzed in a gunfight with a fugitive.

University administrators hastily called a meeting with Fendley, worried about the social media “firestorm” her post had created, according to the suit. Defendant Alicia Estey secretly recorded much of the meeting, the Statesman reported, but the recording cut off before the conversation ended, and both sides disputed the outcome.

Free Her? Really?

According to the New York Post:

Susan Smith, in prison for the cold-blooded 1994 murders of her two young sons, has a parole hearing in just six weeks — and family members say that she has come up with at least four arguments she will make as she makes her bid for freedom — including that she’s been (mostly) well behaved in prison.

“She believes she might be a free woman in less than two months,” a relative told The Post.

“And she’s hoping that [the parole hearing] will go her way. She’s put all her hopes in that basket, and she’s manifesting her freedom.”

The Post has learned that Smith, 52, plans to argue that she grew up in a sexually abusive household that skewed her understanding of right and wrong. “She has a different moral compass than other people, because of her trauma,” the relative said. “It really did a number on her.”

Secondly, Smith wants to argue that she was not in her right mind as a young mom — and that she may have suffered from undiagnosed mental illness.

She was a 22-year-old mom when she let her car roll into John D. Long Lake in Union County, South Carolina, with her boys — 3-year-old Michael and 14-month-old Alexander — still strapped into their car seats.

It’s an argument Smith has used before. “I am not the monster society thinks I am,” she wrote in a letter from jail to reporters at The State in 2015.

“Something went very wrong that night. I was not myself. There was no motive as it was not even a planned event. I was not in my right mind.”

Smith will also bring up the fact that she was disciplined in 2000 for having sex with two guards while behind bars. She has always maintained that the sex was not consensual, due to the differing power dynamics.

“I was a victim,” she told a friend on the outside in 2023, according to documents obtained by The Post. “I had sex with them both because I didn’t feel like I had a choice.”

Finally, Smith plans to argue that she has turned her life around behind bars. According to records obtained by the Post, she has held down a steady job and has had no disciplinary actions against her in nearly a decade.

However, she has had several infractions — including in 2010 and 2015 — for having narcotics or marijuana behind bars.

“She’s grown into a mature woman,” the family member tells the Post. “And she thinks she can thrive outside of prison.

This Will Fix Everything

According to the Post Millennial:

Seattle Police will no longer respond to calls from alarm companies unless there is supporting evidence of a crime.

According to a Sept. 13 letter from interim Seattle Police Chief Sue Rahr, beginning Oct. 1, SPD will only dispatch officers to calls from alarm companies if there is supporting evidence of a crime, such as audio, video, panic alarms, or eyewitnesses that a person is illegally entering or attempting to enter a residence or commercial property.

Rahr wrote in the letter, “With depleted resources, we cannot prioritize a patrol response when there is a very low probability that criminal activity is taking place.”

SPD has lost over 700 officers since the Seattle City Council began defunding the department in 2020 in response to the riots that rocked the Emerald City following the death of George Floyd.

The Seattle 911 Center receives approximately 13,000 annual residential and commercial burglary alarm calls from monitoring companies and according to Rahr, most of those calls are due to an “unintended sensor trip by a homeowner or business employee,” while others are the result of “old or failing equipment.”

In 2023, less than 4 percent of the calls were confirmed to have a crime associated with them that resulted in an arrest or report being written.

Washington Alarm told KOMO News, “The verified response policy has been tried and rejected numerous times including by cities such as Dallas, Texas, and San Jose, California. It goes against best practices established through a collaborative effort by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriff’s Association.”

The new policy will affect over 75,000 alarm sites in Seattle as 911 response times have continued to grow in the city. Additionally, SPD is still seeing more separations than new hires and is at its lowest staffing levels since the 1950s while Washington is dealing with the highest rates of burglary and auto theft in the US and is the state most affected by retail crime.

It’s That Time of the Year

According to the New York Post:

Pop-up Halloween retailer Spirit Halloween has endured controversy after a holiday product angered some customers.

According to Norfolk, Virginia-based WAVY TV, customers complained about the retailer selling a punk rock “bullet belt” accessory as part of a “prep school” costume online and in stores as recently as last week. A spiked bracelet, plaid school girl tie, and other accessories were on the same display in a photo taken by WAVY reporter Keagan Hughes at one of Spirit Halloween’s Virginia Beach locations. 

A gold bullet belt was selling for $9.99, while the punk rock bullet belt was selling for $14.99 online, the outlet reported. 

Some shoppers felt the product was distasteful because it was marketed as part of a student costume, in light of school shootings across the country.

“I don’t like it,” one shopper told WAVY. “I have three children that go to school, and I just heard about the shooting that just happened. And it’s scary, even though it’s a costume. Regardless, that’s just not [it]. They shouldn’t be making fun of these shootings and guns and stuff. It is a big deal.”

Another mother named Vanessa said she didn’t feel like it was an overreaction to be upset about the costume accessory.

“I know people always say everyone’s so sensitive,” she said, “but it’s really not, because a lot of children are dying because of the school shootings, and you’re putting it where the school-like outfits are at. Like, that’s just wild to me.”

Four people were shot and killed by a 14-year-old student at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia, earlier this month.
