 My son has narrated the last book I wrote.
Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Trump rules out livestream for Nidal Hasan firing squad execution Trump reversed an earlier Pentagon announcement that the public would be able to watch the execution President Donald Trump announced that the planned firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will not be livestreamed, reversing an earlier Pentagon announcement that the public would be able to watch the convicted mass killer's final moments. Trump said in a Truth Social post that broadcasting the execution could serve as a powerful deterrent to terrorism but acknowledged that many Americans would rather not witness Hasan's death. "He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed," Trump wrote. The president's announcement comes after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday that the execution would be made public, telling Real America's Voice that Americans would be able to watch Hasan's death.

We’re done,” Zelensky told the Financial Times during a London visit. The decision came after Ukraine complied with the cease-fire for three days while Moscow continued to launch more than 100 attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in the past week, Zelensky fumed.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pascal Confavreux declined to elaborate on what were the means sent to Saudi Arabia. The announcement signals deeper French involvement in defending Saudi energy infrastructure as Houthi attacks escalate amid the broader Iran war Breaking: Ilhan Omar's staff changed her birthdate on official records, her citizenship may be fraudulent - report On Monday, progressive Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's residence was raided by federal agents. While all sorts of speculation has circulated about why Omar was raided (there is a separate financial investigation into Omar, as well), rumors in circulation almost uniformly returned to one major theory: her immigration status. And now, an ominous report from the New York Post is pouring gasoline onto that fire. According to emails obtained and reviewed by the outlet, Omar's staff allegedly changed the congresswoman's birthdate in public records.

Zacharia, 42, failed the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine University’s law school in 2011, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday, citing a person familiar with her experience. The press secretary told the New York Times in a phone interview Wednesday that she had asked Pepperdine’s president how to describe herself after graduating and was told to avoid the phrase “attorney” or “esquire,” but given a green light to say “lawyer.” James Talarico ruthlessly fact-checked by voter after claiming Bible is ‘silent’ on abortion at CNN town hall Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico was ruthlessly fact-checked by a Catholic voter during a Texas town hall Wednesday after he claimed the Bible doesn’t take a stance on abortion. Talarico, a Christian seminarian and state lawmaker, attempted to convince the self-described “one-issue voter,” Jody Hunt, that his pro-choice position is compatible with her faith because “the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion.” Hunt, respectfully, wasn’t buying it. She allowed Talarico to finish his point that “certain policy levers” — absent banning the procedure — can reduce abortions nationwide, before her mic-drop moment. Georgia voters set early-voting record as midterm elections heat up Georgia secretary of state says record-breaking turnout proves voters have confidence in the integrity of Georgia's elections Over 180,000 Georgians cast their ballots on the first day of early voting on Tuesday, setting a record for midterm elections. Tuesday's total eclipsed the first day of early voting in 2022 by more than 55,000 votes, state election officials say. Georgia's early voting schedule runs through Oct. 30. "This record-breaking turnout proves that voters have confidence in the integrity of our elections," Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement. "It’s a testament to our strong election system overseen by 159 of the best county election officials in the country." DOJ gives California 48 hours to review list of possible noncitizens on voter rolls State has 48 hours to confirm whether individuals on a federal list were sent ballots ahead of midterm elections The Justice Department is threatening California with possible legal action after it says the state mailed ballots to noncitizens ahead of the midterm elections. The DOJ sent a letter on Tuesday to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber informing her that federal officials provided Los Angeles County election officials with a list of names of individuals who authorities believe to be noncitizens. Acting Deputy U.S. Attorney Trent McCotter warned that the state has 48 hours to confirm whether any of the individuals on the list were mailed ballots for the November 3 election. That deadline will expire later on Thursday. US Floats Unfreezing Russian Assets to Revive Ukraine Peace Talks The Trump administration has proposed unfreezing some Russian government assets frozen after Moscow's 2022 invasion of Ukraine in an effort to revive stalled peace negotiations, but European officials rejected the proposal, the Financial Times reported Wednesday. The plan, pitched by U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law, would involve transferring some of the assets into a special-purpose financial vehicle overseen by Washington, according to the FT, which cited four people briefed on the matter. The proposal emerged during discussions in Miami last week involving U.S. negotiators and officials from Ukraine, France, Germany, Britain, the European Union, and NATO.
The polls got Michigan badly wrong. Now Democrats may face a bigger reckoning All across the country, Democrats have nominated candidates from the fringe this year By Hugh Hewitt
The nationwide duel for the Senate is going on in the dark because polling this year has produced a series of spectacular busts, especially in Michigan, where polls on the primary battle between Democrats Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens posted double-digit lead after double-digit lead for El-Sayed. In fact, El-Sayed won by 1% — not the 10-18% that had been predicted. It turns out those polls may have suppressed voter turnout and encouraged some Stevens voters to stay home. It is doubtful anyone following the news will stay home in Michigan in the general election. El-Sayed is — at best! — an Islamist apologist. He cannot own his past statements or campaign rhetoric. He refuses to discuss his most prominent supporter in the primary: far-left streamer and YouTube personality Hasan Piker, who is part crazy and part extremist. Piker carried El-Sayed over the finish line in the primary, but now voters are supposed to accept El-Sayed’s deflections when questioned about him. El-Sayed is a radical. He’s done very little to hide his antipathy toward America’s ally Israel, going so far as to equate Israel with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran has, of course, been at war with the United States since its revolution in 1979. That regime is responsible for the deaths of more than a thousand Americans, whether blown up at the U.S. Embassy or the Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983 by Iran’s proxy in Lebanon, Hezbollah, or this past weekend, when another American was killed by another Iranian proxy, the Houthis, via a Houthi missile attack on the international airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Why a Senate win for Abdul El-Sayed has Capitol Hill running scared By Josh Hammer
On Sunday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker asked Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed if he would “set the record straight” on his alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. “No,” El-Sayed quickly replied, saying that neither he nor his family have any ties to the international Sunni Islamist network. El-Sayed is lying. He’s running as the most thinly veiled Trojan horse in American political history — on behalf of the Brotherhood and the Islamism it embodies. The Washington Free Beacon helped expose how El-Sayed’s half-sister, a radical University of Chicago professor named Eman Abdelhadi, has explicitly lauded their family’s Brotherhood ties. In 2012 Abdelhadi gushed over their mother, Fatten Elkomy: “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early 70s.” |
