From this point forward, you’ll have to pay more than a penny for your thoughts. The U.S. Mint made the final penny on Wednesday, ending the coin’s 232-year run.
The U.S. Mint said in a release that the final penny was struck in Philadelphia by United States Treasurer Brandon Beach.
A transgender Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officer in Virginia is suing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), accusing it of sex discrimination over a new policy that bars transgender agents from conducting security screening pat-downs, according to a federal lawsuit.
Danielle Mittereder, a transgender woman and TSA officer at Dulles International Airport, filed the lawsuit Friday claiming the new policy violates civil rights law, according to The Associated Press.
A TSA spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the new policy states that only male officers can perform pat-downs on male passengers and only female officers can perform pat-downs on female passengers.
The rule applies regardless of an officer’s gender identity or transition status.
The spokesperson said that the rule change was implemented to comply with an executive order issued by President Donald Trump on Jan. 20. That order, titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” declared that the federal government will recognize only two sexes — male and female — defined by biological sex “at conception.”
Until February, TSA assigned work consistent with officers’ gender identity under a 2021 management directive, the agency said.
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release roughly 615 illegal immigrants nabbed in Chicago immigration raids.
During a hearing on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings, a Biden appointee, ruled that hundreds of detainees must be granted bond by Nov. 21, according to ABC7. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) must provide Cummings with a list of detainees by Friday.
DHS hit back at the ruling Wednesday afternoon, calling Cummings an “activist judge.”
“At every turn activist judges, sanctuary politicians, and violent rioters have actively tried to prevent our law enforcement officers from arresting and removing the worst of the worst,” Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire.
“Now an ACTIVIST JUDGE is putting the lives of Americans directly at risk by ordering 615 illegal aliens be released into the community,” she added.
The ruling comes after immigration advocates at the National Immigrant Justice Center argued that federal immigration agents violated a consent decree in Illinois when they arrested the detainees.
Last month, Cummings ruled that the feds’ warrantless arrests in Chicago violated a previous consent decree that required officers to evaluate whether there is probable cause and if the target is a flight risk before making arrests.
Warrantless arrests are routine for federal immigration authorities, who often conduct surveillance and utilize informants to verify targets.
Starbucks employees are set to strike on Thursday to pressure the company in an effort that the organizers have decided to undertake on “Red Cup Day,” which is the company’s annual holiday promotion. The strike will consist of around 1,000 Starbucks workers at around 65 locations across the nation. The union demanded that those around the country boycott the company’s coffee.
In a post to X, Starbucks Workers United said, “As of today, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we’re prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON’T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike!”
“It has been nearly a year since Starbucks has offered us a single proposal to finish the remainder of our union contracts. The company knows where we stand: we need fair wages, better scheduling, and an end to union-busting. Instead, Starbucks is fighting US, their workers,” the union added.
Union members say that there have not been new proposals from the company regarding staffing levels as well as pay since the union rejected a contract offer in April.
“We’re turning the Red Cup Season into the Red Cup Rebellion. Starbucks’ refusal to settle a fair union contract and end union busting is forcing us to take drastic action,” Amos Hall, a barista, said in a statement to ABC News.
Antifa throws a temp-tantrum in Northern California.
Did you think the LGBTQI cult is done? Nope, people are still listening.
And I love being right. Let’s talk about that.
Here We Go Again
According to the Post Millennial:
At the University of California, Berkeley on Monday, multiple people were arrested after violence broke out before Turning Point USA’s final stop on its tour at the campus.
Per Frontlines TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez, at least two people were arrested on campus after a fight broke out between a Trump supporter and an Antifa member. The Trump supporter, who was left bloodied, claimed the Antifa member had tried to rob him. Antifa members attempted to “de-arrest” the member being arrested by police.
Antifa agitators were seen rushing the barricades set up at the entrance of the event, chanting “fascists out of Berkeley.” Another arrest was reportedly made.
Agitators lit a flare, resulting in attendees of the Turning Point event being rushed inside. A person was heard chanting, “any time, any place, punch a fascist in the face.” A car exhaust backfiring outside the venue while performing a burnout raised fears in the crowd of gunshots being fired.
Some agitators were heard chanting “f*ck your dead homie.” This comes after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September while holding a campus event in Utah. Others were heard chanting “Antifa.”
The event featured comedian Rob Schneider, who wrote of the violence, “Thank YOU, Antifa for welcoming us tonight at UC Berkeley. We Look forward to our thoughtful, teargas free discussion and debate.”
Washington State University’s (WSU) medical school has suspended a continuing medical education (CME) course on youth gender medicine after LGBTQ activists protested the material, and the national accrediting body began an investigation into the program.
According to Fox News, the course, produced by the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine (SEGM), had been approved by WSU in June after an extensive vetting process. It is now on hold while the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) reviews complaints.
CME programs are designed to help physicians and other healthcare professionals maintain and update their medical knowledge, sharpen clinical skills, and improve patient care. SEGM’s course was one such offering, focusing specifically on medical interventions for gender-dysphoric youth.
The video series from SEGM’s 2023 international academic conference covered topics such as “Transgender identities and the brain,” “Misconceptions in youth gender medicine,” and hormone treatments for gender-dysphoric youth.
According to SEGM, the course was intended to offer “guidance on the benefits, risks, and ethical considerations of medical interventions for gender-dysphoric youth.” The group says WSU’s continuing medical education team spent approximately nine months reviewing the content and ultimately concluded that it met national standards for scientific balance and educational integrity.

A Democrat-backed bill sitting on Governor JB Pritzker’s desk would turn Illinois into an assisted suicide destination and severely curtail the rights of Christian doctors, a conservative legal group is warning.
Just a few hours after midnight on Halloween morning, Democrats in the Illinois Senate rammed through legislation that would legalize doctor-assisted suicide in a 30–27 vote. The bill, which was passed by the state House in May, is awaiting Pritzker’s signature. It would allow doctors to prescribe deadly pills to those who are sick and have been given a prognosis of less than six months to live.
Conservative groups in the state say that the legislation would force doctors to promote and make referrals for the deadly practice.
“You’re not just allowing physicians to give people deadly drugs to kill themselves, but you’re actually forcing us or people of faith, to be part of it, to promote it,” Peter Breen, the head of litigation at Thomas More Society, told The Daily Wire. “I know of no other state where the legislature has gone this far in restricting the religious liberty rights of people of faith.”
While the bill says that doctors would not be forced to participate in prescribing the fatal pills, Breen said that the text contains provisions that would “force institutions and physicians to refer for and to inform about the opportunity to take deadly drugs and end your life.”
Breen noted that parts of the bill would make it impossible for a Christian hospital to fire a doctor who promoted assisted suicide or facilitated one off the grounds of the hospital.
Currently, 11 states and Washington, D.C., allow for physician-assisted suicide, but Illinois would be the first in America’s heartland.
The U.S. Supreme Court sided with President Donald Trump late Friday night, temporarily blocking an order for the administration to somehow fully fund food stamps while Senate Democrats keep the government shut down.
The administration already planned to tap into emergency funds to partially pay out Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments to the tune of billions of dollars. Administration officials said it would be impossible to provide the remaining billions needed to fully fund the program without congressional action, noting that the shortfall was the fault of Congress, not the executive branch.
SNAP payments are made to a stunning 42 million Americans every month.
SCOTUS sided with Trump, and agreed to temporarily block the lower court order for 48 hours. Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued the stay.
It looks like the government shutdown is coming to an end. What have we learned about this?
The hammer is dropping on professional sports gambling.
And we getting shocking news about the trans-woman (man) who got a real woman kicked out of a Los Angeles gym. By shocking I mean it is not shocking at all.
It’s Finally Over
The eight critical votes that advanced a short-term spending package on Sunday evening and put the government on the path to re-opening also tore the seams of Democratic Party unity, bringing scrutiny to its shutdown strategy and leadership.
One of the eight said that the plan Democrats had rallied around at its outset had crumbled.
“After six weeks — going on seven weeks — that path wasn’t working,” Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, said. “It wasn’t going to happen. The question was: Does the shutdown further the goal of achieving some needed support for the extension of the tax credits? Our judgment was that it will not produce that result.”
“The evidence for that is almost seven weeks of fruitless attempts to make that happen. Would it change in a week? Or another week? Or after Thanksgiving? There’s no evidence that it would.”
To other Democrats, it’s the party’s top figures who led a losing effort.
“Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif, said in a post on social media on Sunday.
The government first plunged into a shutdown 40 days ago on Oct. 1 when Democrats rejected a short-term spending bill advanced by Republicans in the House meant to keep the government afloat until Nov. 21. Democrats had demanded that lawmakers first consider expiring COVID-era Obamacare subsidies set to phase out at the end of the year. Republicans, who saw spending and the tax credits as completely unrelated, refused to negotiate on the tax credits during the shutdown.
Ultimately, Republicans avoided any substantive concessions on the Obamacare credits.
Things we have learned:
No one really knows what the government does. Outside of air traffic control, nothing seems to be affected by the shutdown of the government.
Maybe we need to privatize air traffic control.
We need serious restructuring of our welfare programs.
42 million people are on food stamps (1 in 8 people).
There are no limits on the type of food recipients can buy.
75% of people on SNAP are obese.
On average, SNAP recipients buy more than the working class (up to 20% more).
There is no time limit on SNAP or welfare. One can be on it for decades.
Legal and illegal immigrants qualify for welfare programs.
Federal welfare spending—including SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, housing assistance, and other low-income support programs—was $1.048 trillion in FY 2024.
This accounted for roughly 16% of all federal outlays.
SNAP (commonly known as food stamps) cost the federal government $100.3 billion in FY 2024.
The average SNAP benefit for a family varies by household size and composition, but in fiscal year 2023, the average SNAP household received a monthly benefit of $332. Households with children received a larger average monthly benefit of $574, corresponding to an average household size of 3.3 people. This equals roughly $174 per person for families with children and $177 per person overall.
Average per person: $174–$177 per month, with slight variations depending on household composition.
We need to add a couple of amendments in the Constitution.
We need the filibuster put in the Constitution.
We need a balanced budget amendment.
When there is a shutdown, politicians shouldn’t get paid.
We need term limits.
Democrats are in huge trouble.
The are fractured.
They are being pushed to the left.
They have no message. They are all about being anti-Trump.
They look cruel. They used the withholding paychecks and SNAP as a weapon.
Their accusations against Republicans is falling a deaf ears. This includes the messaging by the media.
Federal prosecutors have charged two pitchers for the Cleveland Guardians on counts related to a Major League Baseball (MLB) gambling scheme.
Prosecutors unsealed an indictment against Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz on Sunday. The charging document alleges that the two professional athletes committed fraud, conspiracy, and bribery while collecting on bets and receiving kickbacks for their on-field performances.
Clase and Ortiz have been on paid leave from the MLB since July, when the league began investigating allegations related to the illegal gambling scheme. If found guilty, the two pitchers face a potential punishment of up to 20 years in prison, according to CNBC.
The scheme traces back to 2023 when Clase agreed to work with “corrupt sports bettors” who would place wagers on the type and speed of Clase’s pitches. Clase would coordinate with the bettors on the pitch he would throw. In many cases, Clase’s pitches would hit “in the dirt, well outside the strike zone” to satisfy the wager, according to the Department of Justice.
Ortiz joined the scheme around June 2025 after he was traded to the Guardians in December 2024, according to prosecutors.
“Together with Clase, Ortiz agreed in advance to throw balls (instead of strikes) on pitches in two games in exchange for bribes and kickbacks. Before an MLB game on June 15, 2025, Ortiz agreed with his co-conspirators to throw a ball on a particular pitch in exchange for bribes. The bettors agreed to pay Ortiz a $5,000 bribe for throwing the rigged pitch and Clase a $5,000 bribe for arranging the rigged pitch,” the Justice Department press release states.
The transgender person caught up in a viral Los Angeles gym bathroom row had been convicted of assaulting their now-ex-wife while living in Ohio as a man — before taking the victim’s first name as their own.
Alexis Black ran afoul of women at a gym in Beverly Hills, including singer-songwriter Tish Hyman, who accused them of exposing himself and harassing her in the locker room.
Black, formerly Grant Freeman, pleaded guilty in 2022 to savagely beating his wife Alexis Freeman, causing a compound fractured jaw among other serious injuries.
So, this guy is a misogynist.
“Kyle Grant Freeman caused serious physical harm to the victim. The victim suffered a compound fractured mandible, which resulted in her needing surgery,” said court documents from Hamilton County, Ohio.
Black was sentenced to a year in prison, minus time served.
Black had been convicted of both domestic violence and drug trafficking in the past, and has faced a slew of other charges, including resisting arrest, records show.
The elections do not go well for Republicans as well as New York, Virginia, New Jersey and California (who got what they wanted).

California Proposition 50
Proposition 50, the Use of Legislative Congressional Redistricting Map Amendment, is on the special election ballot as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment.
A criminal gets off on assault on an ICE officer. Yes, assault with a sandwich is still assault.
Canada proves that the “slippery slope” theory isn’t a theory. And, of course, children are affected again.
And Leftists in New York are cheering Sharia Law and our deaths again after Zorhan Mamdani’s win this week. They are going to get what they deserve.
This Doesn’t Fix Anything
According to Fox News:
A former Department of Justice worker on trial for throwing a sandwich at a federal officer in Washington, D.C., earlier this year was found not guilty on Thursday.
Sean Dunn struck a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent (CBP) in the chest with a sandwich in August. He was facing charges of assaulting, resisting, opposing, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal officer.
Jurors deliberated for about seven hours before reaching a verdict. After it was read, Dunn hugged his lawyers in the courtroom.
“I believe that I was protecting the rights of immigrants. And let us not forget that the Great Seal of the United States says, E Pluribus Unum,” Dunn said after the verdict was read. “That means, from many, one, every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here, no matter how you identify, you have the right to live a life that is free.”
During the trial, Dunn’s legal team insisted he threw the sandwich in protest of President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C., and it was not a violent attack.
Video of the incident quickly went viral, with Dunn being heralded as a hero by residents throughout the city who also opposed Trump’s move to occupy the nation’s capital with federal agents.
Dunn’s lawyers did not dispute that Dunn threw the sandwich at a CBP officer outside a nightclub, though they insisted it was done as an “exclamation point” to express his negative feelings about the National Guard’s deployment within the nation’s capital.
Advocates for assisted suicide in Canada, where it’s been legal for just under a decade, are pushing to expand the practice to children.
Canada’s euthanasia program, known as MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying), started back in 2016 for people whose natural death was “reasonably foreseeable” and wanted to end their lives. It’s already been expanded — both expanding the pool of adults who are eligible and how it can be administered, leading to an explosion of suicides in recent years.
Now, groups are calling for minors as young as 12 years old to be included in the government-funded suicide program. One advocacy group, called “Dying With Dignity Canada,” recommends minors as young as 12 be included in the program, and goes as far as to suggest 16 and 17-year-olds shouldn’t even need parental consent to be killed by a doctor if they fit broad criteria.
The group calls for assessing age eligibility based on “maturity” rather than “chronological age.”
Experts say the advocacy shows there was merit to the “slippery slope” argument made against the law from the outset.

Will New York City elect a Ugandan communist mayor?
Will Virginia turn blue?
Will New Jersey turn red?
Will California be allowed to break the law and cheat for next years midterms?
It’s election day! Let’s take a look at some of what going on today.
New York
The mayoral race features Zohran Mamdani (Democratic socialist), former Governor Andrew Cuomo (Independent), and Curtis Sliwa (Republican). The contest is notable for the leftward shift in city politics and younger voter engagement.
What’s going on:
The voting is over 50%. That’s not good.
No one should be surprised. New York City is very diverse, with 147 different languages spoken.
This gives Mamdani an advantage.
Diversity is not our strength.
New York City is already a third world country.
Curtis Sliwa should have have dropped out.
Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani leads the polls, ahead of Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
Current surveys suggest a margin of about 16-21 points separating Mamdani from Cuomo, with voter dissatisfaction toward the city’s direction being a major theme.
This election will determine if the government reopens.
If Cuomo wins, the government reopens.
If Mamdani wins (which he should), the Dems have gone further Left and the government will stay closed.
This election is the reason we need to control voting.
New Jersey
The gubernatorial race is between Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli. Both candidates are focusing on state-level issues with national implications for party strategy under President Trump’s current administration.
Some things:
This is the closest race.
Recent polls give Democrat Mikie Sherrill a slight lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli, with several surveys showing a margin of 3 to 8 points.
The last time New Jersey had a Republican governor was from 2010 to 2018, when Chris Christie held office as the 55th governor of the state.
Virginia
Voters choose between Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears and Democrat Abigail Spanberger for governor. This race is closely watched as a possible indicator of suburban and independent voter sentiment during Trump’s second term. An Earle-Sears win would mark historic firsts for a Black woman governor in the U.S..
Some things:
Democrat Abigail Spanberger leads Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, with polling averages showing a 53-43% advantage for Spanberger.
The race is considered a key test of Trump’s influence and the Democratic Party’s ability to maintain momentum in a state Harris narrowly won in 2024.
Other statewide offices and the House of Delegates are also at stake, making this a high-interest contest.
California
Voters are deciding on Proposition 50, which would temporarily allow the state legislature, dominated by Democrats, to control congressional redistricting instead of the independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. This could lead to new district boundaries and impact House control for future elections.
Proposition 50, which would change congressional redistricting, is being closely watched, especially as recent polling shows strong opinions but no reliable margin released as of Election Day.
Polls actually says the “Yes” vote will win by double digits.
This may backfire for California. There is the possibility Dems will lose seats since the state is heavily gerrymandered. (51 of the 59 congressional delegates are Dems).
This is illegal according to the California state constitution. Expect to see lawsuits.
The Current Election Laws Are Dumb!
We need to change the election rules. Here’s how I would do it.
There should only be in person, day of elections.
All elections should be by paper ballot.
All elections should have a result by that night or early the next day.
Identification should be required.
Anyone who can’t read a ballot should not be voting.
The voting age should be 25 years old.
Citizens should be required to take a civics test to vote.
Voters should be paying taxes and not on any government benefits (housing, welfare, food stamps).
Candidates who are duel citizenship should not be allowed to run.
R.I.P. Dick
Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.
Dick Cheney was an influential and controversial figure in American politics whose career spanned over four decades and included leadership roles under multiple presidents, most notably as vice president under George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009.
Early Life and Education
Born January 30, 1941, in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney grew up in both Lincoln and Casper, Wyoming. His family background included a father working for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a mother who excelled in athletics. Cheney attended Yale University but did not complete his degree, eventually earning both a Bachelor and Master of Arts in political science from the University of Wyoming.
Political Career Beginnings
Cheney began his career as an intern for Congressman William Steiger and then joined the Nixon and Ford administrations, serving in rising White House roles—including Deputy Assistant and, eventually, Chief of Staff under President Gerald Ford from 1975 to 1977.
Congressional and Defense Leadership
Returning to Wyoming, Cheney was elected the state’s sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives, serving from 1979 to 1989 in leadership roles such as House Minority Whip. President George H. W. Bush then appointed him Secretary of Defense (1989-1993), where Cheney directed U.S. military actions in Panama and during the Gulf War, earning the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his leadership.
Business Career and Vice Presidency
After government service, Cheney became CEO of Halliburton, a major oil services company, from 1995 to 2000. His corporate experience was interrupted when George W. Bush selected him as his running mate for the 2000 presidential election. As vice president, Cheney played a central—often secretive—role in shaping U.S. foreign and energy policy, especially after 9/11, and advocated forcefully for the Iraq War, policies that drew both praise and heavy criticism. He was also known for his support of wiretapping and enhanced interrogation techniques.
Later Years and Legacy
Cheney’s public popularity declined sharply by the end of his vice presidency, but he remained influential, critiquing the direction of the Republican Party and writing multiple books with his daughter, Liz Cheney. Plagued by heart disease, he survived several heart attacks and underwent a heart transplant in 2012.
On November 3, 2025, Dick Cheney died at age 84 from complications related to pneumonia and cardiovascular disease.

An explosion occurred early on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Harvard Medical School’s Goldenson Building in Boston. Authorities have declared the incident an “intentional” bombing, but no injuries were reported.
Key Details
The explosion happened around 2:48 a.m. on the fourth floor of the Goldenson Building.
A Harvard University police officer responded to a fire alarm and saw two people fleeing the scene. The officer tried to intercept them, but they got away.
Surveillance photos of the masked suspects were released to the public by authorities, who are seeking help in identifying them.
The Boston Fire Department’s arson unit concluded the explosion was set deliberately, and Boston police performed a sweep of the building, finding no additional devices.
The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Harvard University Police Department, the Boston Police Department, the Boston Fire Department, and the FBI.
Response and Campus Impact
No one was injured in the blast, and only a portion of the building was closed afterward as a precaution.
Officials have asked anyone with information about the suspects or the incident to contact law enforcement.
The investigation remains active, and the public has been advised to avoid the affected portion of the building unless absolutely necessary.
Context
As of now, details regarding the motive, the type of explosive used, and the extent of property damage have not been publicly released.
The university community has been urged to remain vigilant as law enforcement continues to investigate the case.
This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available from official sources.
The descriptions of the suspects should explain their motivations:
First Suspect:
Wore khaki pants and Crocs
Brown hooded sweatshirt with apparent “NYC” lettering
President Donald Trump unloaded on Democrats — and posted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) office number for anyone who wanted to complain — after federal judges weighed in on whether or not Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could be allowed to lapse amid the ongoing government shutdown.
Two federal judges — U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Massachusetts and U.S. District Judge John McConnell in Rhode Island — on Friday ordered the Trump administration to continue paying out SNAP benefits despite the government shutdown, with McConnell further ordering the administration to tap into emergency funds in order to pay out the benefits “as soon as possible.” Talwani’s order gave the administration until November 3 to come up with a way to fund the program, but did not specify where those funds should come from.
Trump pushed back in a post shared on Truth Social, saying that he was instructing his attorneys to find the fastest way to fund the program and make sure that people could receive the assistance they needed — but he also pointed out the fact that Democrats were continuing to block Republican efforts to reopen the government, thus creating the current quandary.
Some things:
This is not good for Democrats. They want the pain. It’s their leverage.
The judges can’t do this. They don’t understand the economy and how the government is funded. They are overstepping their bounds again.
The Trump administration knows this. They are going back to the courts to ask them how to do it.

President Donald Trump issued a direct warning to Nigeria on Saturday, promising to withhold aid from the nation and threatening to take further action if the government did not step in and put a stop to the targeted killing of Christians there.
Trump made a statement via his Truth Social platform, calling on the Nigerian government to stop the Islamic terrorists who were killing Christians and warning that if they did not do so quickly, the United States could “go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing.’”
Trump issued an order on Friday stating that he was designating Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC), citing the ongoing and relentless persecution of Christians conducted by “radical Islamist” terrorists.

These People Don’t Belong Here
According to the Daily Wire:
The FBI prevented a potentially “violent terrorist attack” planned for Halloween weekend and arrested multiple people in Michigan, FBI Director Kash Patel said on Friday morning.
Patel did not disclose where exactly the attack was planned to take place or who was allegedly behind it, but he added that more details would be released soon.
The FBI director thanked the men and women of the FBI and law enforcement everywhere who stand guard 24/7 to “defend the homeland.”
Fox News has reported:
The Detroit Public Affairs Office confirmed to Fox News that members of the FBI field office in Michigan were in Dearborn and Inkster this morning, but there is no clear indication if this was connected to the thwarted attack.
News of the thwarted plot comes 10 months after Shamsud‑Din Jabbar plowed a pickup truck into New Year’s revelers on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street. Fifteen people were killed and dozens were injured, making it one of the deadliest acts of terrorism in the U.S. since 9/11.
The latest China-United States trade deal, reached in late October 2025, is a one-year truce that temporarily eases tensions between the two nations by suspending certain tariffs and export controls, while introducing new agreements related to rare earth elements, agricultural purchases, and fentanyl controls.
Key Elements of the 2025 Trade Truce
The United States agreed to cut tariffs on fentanyl-related goods from 20% to 10%, lowering the overall tariff burden on Chinese imports to roughly 47% (from a previous average of 57%); a threatened 100% tariff has been suspended.
China agreed to suspend its new export controls on rare earth elements for one year, effective immediately, which had been a major source of contention in recent months.
Both sides will halt reciprocal port tariffs on each other’s ships for 12 months, aiming to facilitate smoother logistics.
China committed to ramping up purchases of American agricultural products, especially soybeans, and will boost imports of U.S. energy, with a possible transaction for Alaskan oil mentioned in talks.
The agreement features expanded cooperation to limit fentanyl and its precursors, with China pledging to undertake more efforts to curb illegal shipments to the U.S..
The U.S. will temporarily suspend certain export controls related to national security, specifically delaying an expansion of the ‘entity list,’ which restricts Chinese companies’ access to American technology.
The two sides reaffirm previous commitments, such as those made in the Madrid consultations, involving corporate cases and broader cooperation.
Unresolved Details and Longer-Term Issues
The rare earths agreement is explicitly a one-year temporary deal, with a plan to “regularly extend” as needed.
Trade truce remains thin on detailed implementation mechanisms and future steps; analysts caution that many issues—especially on technology, chip exports, and long-term tariff rates—are only temporarily resolved and could return.
The U.S. and China have agreed to further dialogue, with additional state visits planned for the first half of 2026.
Historical context and existing “Phase One” deal elements—regarding intellectual property, technology transfer, and agricultural purchases—remain operative but are not fully absorbed into this new truce.

Amazon slashed 14,000 jobs this week — not to cut costs or chase AI, but because they didn’t fit the culture.
That’s according to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who shared his thoughts about the layoffs for the first time during the company’s quarterly earnings call on Thursday.
“The announcement that we made a few days ago was not really financially driven, and it’s not even really AI-driven, not right now at least,” Jassy said, referring to the job cuts announced on Tuesday. “It really — it’s culture.”
Jassy’s remark aligns with his broader mission to reshape Amazon’s culture this year, which Business Insider chronicled. He is trying to raise performance standards, enforce discipline, and eliminate bureaucracy.
Amazon’s senior vice president of people experience and technology, Beth Galetti, announced the cuts on Tuesday in a blog post, explaining that despite the company’s strong performance, it is reducing jobs as a result of AI rapidly changing the world.
🚨 NEW — Bill Gates Walks Back His 'Apocalyptic' Climate Change Narrative, Pushes More Vaccines
“We won't achieve our best goal, the 1.5 or even the 2 degrees … We have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare ….. If we stopped funding all vaccines and that saved you 0.1… pic.twitter.com/ndOaafW5jY
He accepts that the climate is going to change and there is nothing we can do about it.
His caring for “human welfare” is new. He is a Malthusianist. He believed that we needed to lower population to prevent climate change. He believed vaccines were a way to do that.
Who cares what Greta Thunberg has to say or what she thinks?
Greta doesn’t buy climate change anymore either.
I do want to point out that he talks about vaccines being for the betterment of humanity. He also thought it was a way to control the population.
Climate change has never been about human welfare or saving of the planet. It has been about control. The was made clear by the World Economic Forum in which Bill Gates is a member.
You Have To Be Kidding
According to the Post Millennial:
Virginia school officials and parents are condemning a series of student-made videos posted by Muslim Student Association (MSA) chapters at two Fairfax County high schools, in which members staged mock kidnappings as part of efforts to recruit for the club. Critics say the content is “traumatizing,” especially for Jewish students, which appear to mock the real-world kidnappings carried out by Hamas on October 7, 2023.
The since-deleted clips, filmed at Langley High School in McLean and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, appear to show MSA members targeting students who refuse to join the club. In one video, students at Langley can be seen placing a bag over a classmate’s head, lifting him off the ground, and throwing him into the trunk of a car, which quickly drives away. The scene ends with the group laughing and asking bystanders if they want to join after seeing the consequences of saying no.
A similar video at Thomas Jefferson depicts students covering a classmate’s head with a keffiyeh while stuffing another into a plastic storage bin before dragging them away. It’s unclear whether the two clubs coordinated the content, though similar clips from unrelated students mocking club recruitment have surfaced online.
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) swiftly condemned the footage, stressing that the district did not approve the videos and warning that disciplinary consequences are possible.
A Minnesota man who was arrested by the FBI for a TikTok post placing a $45,000 bounty on the head of Attorney General Pam Bondi has been released without bail. Tyler Maxon Avalos, 30, of St. Paul, Minnesota, signed a personal recognizance bond on October 22, agreeing to appear for future court proceedings.
Judge Elizabeth Cowan Wright released Avalos on October 22 with GPS monitoring and ordered him to continue his mental health treatment. He was prohibited from using a computer or online services without the approval of his probation officer. The conditions of release also prohibit Avalos from using drugs, alcohol or possessing a firearm, Avalos must submit to a curfew as directed by the pretrial services officer, and submit to a search of his person, residence, and other areas under his control.
Avalos is accused of posting the bounty to TikTok, which featured a “sniper-scope red dot” on Bondi’s head and the words “WANTED: Pam Bondi. REWARD: 45,000. DEAD OR ALIVE (PREFERABLY DEAD).” A TikTok user in Detroit flagged the post.

Another Big Win
According to Perplexity:
The latest United States–Japan trade deal was signed in July 2025 and implements a wide-ranging framework focused on investment, market access, and tariff adjustments. Under the agreement, Japan committed to invest $550 billion in American industries, while the United States established a baseline 15% tariff rate on nearly all Japanese imports, replacing previous higher rates.
Main Features of the Trade Deal
Japanese Investment in the US
Japan pledged $550 billion in investments to the U.S. economy, with funding directed towards sectors such as manufacturing, semiconductors, energy, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, shipbuilding, and pharmaceuticals.
A Consultation Committee from both governments will identify key projects, with final approval given by the U.S. president.
Tariff Structure
A baseline 15% tariff is now applied to most Japanese imports, including automobiles and industrial goods, down from previous rates as high as 27.5%.
Tariff rates for certain sectors (like pharmaceuticals and natural resources) may be set to 0% if these products are unavailable domestically in the U.S..
Market Access and U.S. Exports
Japan agreed to rapidly increase imports of U.S. rice by 75% and make annual purchases of at least $8 billion of U.S. agricultural products, including corn, soybeans, fertilizer, bioethanol, and sustainable aviation fuel.
Longstanding restrictions on U.S. automobiles will be lifted, allowing American automakers to sell vehicles in Japan with U.S. safety certifications and standards.
Energy and Technology Cooperation
Japan will purchase major volumes of U.S. energy annually, including expanded imports of liquefied natural gas and commitments to invest in U.S. energy infrastructure projects.
Both countries signed a critical minerals agreement to secure strategic supply chains for rare earths and advanced nuclear power reactors.
Aerospace and Defense
Japan committed to buying 100 Boeing aircraft and increasing purchases of U.S.-manufactured defense equipment, as well as including semiconductors and technology as part of the defense trade.
Oversight and Enforcement
The deal includes U.S. government oversight over how and where Japanese investment occurs, with mechanisms for monitoring progress and ensuring compliance; tariff increases are possible if commitments are not met.
Both sides retain the right to adjust future sector-specific tariffs, but Japan is assured it will not face higher rates than any other country for certain products.
Political and Economic Impact
The agreement was signed by President Donald Trump and Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, highlighting the close national security and economic partnership between the two countries.
At least 10 major Japanese firms, including SoftBank, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, and Honda, have shown immediate interest in launching U.S. projects under the terms of the deal.
This trade deal is regarded as one of the largest bilateral investment and trade agreements in recent U.S. history, aiming to boost American manufacturing, secure strategic resources, and deepen economic cooperation across multiple sectors.

According to the Daily Wire:
The liberal Canadian premier who launched a $75 million anti-tariff ad campaign in the United States featuring former President Ronald Reagan will yank the effort after pressure from President Donald Trump.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Friday afternoon that he would pause the ad campaign put out by his administration targeting Americans starting on Monday. That announcement came after Trump on Thursday said he had ended all trade talks with Canada over the ad, calling it an effort to influence American politics.
“Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,” Ford posted on X. “We’ve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels. I’ve directed my team to keep putting our message in front of Americans over the weekend so that we can air our commercial during the first two World Series games.”
Ford said he would “pause [the] U.S. advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume” after speaking with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney
The Trump administration says it has brokered a deal with Liberia to accept alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia when he’s deported from the United States, according to a Friday court filing.
Abrego Garcia presented a list of 20 countries he feared deportation to, but the list didn’t include Liberia, Justice Department lawyers wrote in the filing. The Trump administration is looking to deport him as early as October 31.
Federal officials “have received diplomatic assurances regarding the treatment of third country individuals removed to Liberia from the United States and are making the final necessary arrangements for Petitioner’s removal.”
The Trump administration deported Abrego Garcia, who entered the U.S. illegally in 2011, to his native El Salvador in June, despite an “administrative error.” He was brought back to the U.S. on human smuggling charges.
An Ohio man who was convicted in the high-profile beating death of 17-year-old Ethan Liming has been released from prison, and was arrested and charged this past week in a different murder.
Deshawn Stafford, 24, has been charged with murdering Timothy Hutchinson, a 25-year-old Ohio man who was working as an engineer in his hometown. Hutchinson was reportedly struck unintentionally during an exchange of gunfire allegedly between Stafford and another individual.
In addition to the murder charge, Stafford is facing charges of felonious assault, discharging a firearm on a public roadway, having a weapon while under disability, drug trafficking, and possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
A GoFundMe for Hutchinson set up by the victim’s sister says Hutchinson graduated from the mechanical engineering program of University of Akron less than a year ago.

Already Successful
On Sunday, the United States signed several trade and critical minerals agreements with four Southeast Asian countries—Malaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam—during a summit in Kuala Lumpur. These deals aim to address trade imbalances, diversify supply chains, and reduce dependency on China, particularly regarding rare earth elements crucial for industries like semiconductors and electric vehicles.
U.S. President Donald Trump signed reciprocal trade deals with Malaysia and Cambodia, and a framework agreement with Thailand to reduce tariff and non-tariff barriers. The U.S. will maintain a 19% tariff on exports from these countries, though some goods will have zero tariffs.
Additionally, Vietnam, which had a trade surplus of $123 billion with the U.S. last year, agreed to buy more American products to help reduce this gap. The U.S. imposed a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports, but a framework agreement was also established.
The deals focused heavily on critical minerals supply chains. Malaysia, in particular, committed to not banning or imposing quotas on critical mineral exports to the U.S. but did not specify whether this applied to raw or processed rare earths. Malaysia has banned the export of raw rare earths to retain resources for its own processing industry.
The agreements also cover digital trade, services, labor rights, environmental protections, and market access. Malaysia agreed to streamline regulations for U.S. products and secured tariff exemptions for goods like aerospace equipment, pharmaceuticals, and commodities such as palm oil and rubber. Thailand, which agreed to eliminate tariffs on 99% of goods, also relaxed foreign ownership rules in telecommunications and pledged significant purchases of U.S. goods, including $18.8 billion in aircraft and $5.4 billion in energy products.
President Donald Trump attended a peace ceremony for Cambodia and Thailand on Sunday after helping mediate a ceasefire agreement between the two countries.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul joined Trump in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to formalize the Kuala Lumpur Peace Accords brokered earlier this year. The agreement ended a five-day conflict this summer that resulted in dozens of deaths, according to NBC News.
“On behalf of the United States, I’m proud to help settle this conflict and forge a future for the region,” said Trump.
Under the terms of the ceasefire, Thailand will release 18 Cambodian soldiers detained during the conflict. Both countries will remove heavy weapons from along their shared border, and officials with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations will monitor the ceasefire.
“We saved maybe millions of lives on this one peace deal,” said Trump.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent gave an optimistic update on the fate of the TikTok deal on Sunday, saying that a framework of a deal has been reached.
A deal on the future of TikTok is set to be finalized, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says, telling @margbrennan a final deal was reached during U.S.-China talks last month in Madrid.
“I believe that as of today, all the details are ironed out, and that will be for the two… pic.twitter.com/psJNoiGYRN
According to the text of the executive order, the framework resolves the national security concerns by removing “the TikTok application and certain other applications from the ‘control’ of a foreign adversary and precludes any ‘operational relationship’ between a formerly affiliated entity controlled by a foreign adversary and the new joint venture.”
It also “prohibits the storage of sensitive United States user data in a manner that would place such data under the control of a foreign adversary and requires such data to be stored in a cloud environment run by an American company.”
U.S. and Chinese economic officials met at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, negotiating a framework for a trade deal to be finalized by Presidents Trump and Xi Jinping later in the week. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the threat of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, set to begin November 1, was eliminated. Additionally, China is expected to delay its rare earths export controls for a year as the policy is reassessed.
The trade deal is expected to extend a tariff truce beyond its November 10 expiration and revive U.S. soybean sales to China, benefiting American farmers. Both sides discussed trade expansion, rare earths access, the U.S. fentanyl crisis, U.S. port fees, and the potential transfer of TikTok to U.S. ownership. The deal will need further internal approval from both countries.
Trump, who is in Malaysia for an ASEAN summit, expressed optimism about reaching a deal with China. The trade talks come after a period of rising tensions, particularly over China’s rare earths export controls, which threaten global supply chains. Trump also signaled potential future meetings with Xi in China or the U.S.
In addition to trade, Trump aims to address issues like Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the war in Ukraine in his discussions with Xi.
Hundreds of requests have poured into the watchdog group StopAntisemitism after it offered last week to help New York City residents relocate over the potential rise of Zohran Mamdani to mayor.
Mamdani, the Democratic candidate for mayor, leads former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, making an independent bid after losing to Mamdani in the primary, and Republican Curtis Sliwa by double-digits in polls. Mamdani calls himself a Democratic Socialist and has been accused by critics of courting antisemites if not trafficking in Jew-hatred himself.
“New Yorkers – looking to relocate if Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral race? We’d love to connect you to realtors in FL, TX, CT, etc. You deserve to live in a city not run by an antisemite,” an October 16 X post from StopAntisemitism says.
“If Mamdani is elected, we will make it our mission to remove as much of his tax base as possible. Antisemites understand one thing – consequences,” a follow-up post says.
More than 300 people have expressed interest in StopAntisemitism’s offer since the post went up, group founder Liora Rez told The Daily Wire. In addition, real estate agents from across the United States have contacted Rez’s group to offer their services for anyone wishing to relocate out of The Big Apple.

Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said the next Democratic presidential nominee must vow to demolish President Donald Trump‘s White House ballroom, proposing the pledge a litmus test for the party’s 2028 contenders.
“Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on DAY ONE,” Swalwell wrote on X on Saturday.
Swalwell’s office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for additional comment.
For the first time in its history, the White House will have a formal ballroom, a new addition built where the East Wing once stood, a project that has become a political flashpoint as photos of the demolition fuel debate over President Trump’s mark on the historic residence.
On July 31, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the planned construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. The sprawling ballroom will accommodate approximately 650 seated guests and will stay true to the classical design of the White House.
“The White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders in other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building’s entrance,” Leavitt said, adding the new ballroom will be “a much-needed and exquisite addition.”
Construction on the White House grounds, which began earlier this month, is estimated to cost $250 million and will be financed by Trump and private donors.
The ballroom isn’t the only update.
Trump has introduced gold accents in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room, a new monument dubbed the “Arc de Trump,” the “walk of fame” with portraits of former presidents, including a photo of the autopen representing former President Joe Biden’s time in office, added stone pavers to the Rose Garden lawn and installed two 88-foot flagpoles.
