(Click on Book Cover) World & Nation Trump asks Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as Greece ambassador, White House confirms The move came one day after Trump said 'we're not happy' about the former Donald Trump Jr fiance's conduct The White House has asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign as U.S. ambassador to Greece amid mounting allegations involving her financial dealings, treatment of embassy staff and relationships with foreign business interests. "We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well," White House press secretary Katie Zacharia announced Tuesday during her first-ever briefing to the press. It is not clear whether Guilfoyle lodged her official resignation, and when asked for clarity, the White House referred Fox News Digital to the remarks from the briefing.
Iran has a problem: The US military will do whatever it takes to blockade Iran and cripple Tehran’s economy U.S. Fighter Jet Strikes Cargo Ship As Iran Blockade Intensifies - The U.S. military struck a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman on Saturday, October 10. Washington is stepping up efforts to prevent ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports and to show Tehran that, as its economy worsens, it won’t be able to force oil out of its ports, through the Strait of Hormuz, and into international waters. The operation comes as new evidence suggests that vessels continue to attempt to evade the American blockade, and as Iran intensifies its own attacks on commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The latest development comes only days after President Donald Trump announced that he would not launch new military strikes against Iran before the November 3 midterm elections. The latest operation, which saw an American fighter jet disable a Panama-flagged cargo vessel, suggests that even as Washington rules out a return to large-scale strikes, it will continue its existing maritime traffic enforcement campaign to Iran’s disadvantage. Iran says 'deeply concerned' over escalation between Houthis, Saudi Arabia Iran says it is “deeply concerned” by escalating attacks between Yemen’s Tehran-backed Houthis and Saudi Arabia, after 14 people died in strikes on Riyadh’s airport over the weekend. “We are deeply concerned about the developments taking place in the Arabian Peninsula,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei tells a weekly press conference, adding that Tehran is ready “to use our good offices to help facilitate dialogue between the parties.” Iran is the patron and chief backer of the Houthis. Iran has turned the Strait of Hormuz into such a warzone captains are now paid $100,000 per month to risk their lives Tanker Captains Paid $100,000 Per Month to Brave Strait of Hormuz - Oil tanker captains are being offered enormous salaries to sail through the Strait of Hormuz as Iran steps up its attacks on commercial vessels and the global market demands oil move out of the Gulf region at record pace. Some captains now reportedly earn as much as $100,000 per month, plus an additional $50,000 bonus for each journey through the waterway. The massive payments reflect just how dangerous commercial shipping has become since the war began on February 28, and Iran tries to grind the global economy to a halt by making it as dangerous as possible to move oil through the Strait of Hormuz. The result is a market that increasingly incentivizes parties to move oil out of the region by whatever means possible, and some crew members are reportedly being pressured into voyages they would otherwise refuse. Mike Johnson urges Trump to rethink livestreaming Nidal Hasan execution: ‘I wouldn’t be watching’ House Speaker Mike Johnson encouraged President Trump Monday to reverse his decision to livestream the planned execution of Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad — adding that many of his fellow Republicans are similarly squeamish about the idea. “The concern would be that you would create a video that then would be a recruiting tool for future terrorists,” Johnson (R-La.) told CBS News. “We’ve got to think through the policy implications of all that. I wouldn’t be watching it if it was aired, but there’s a lot of opinions on that.” Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced plans last week to make the execution of Hasan available to the public, drawing bipartisan backlash. But Vice President JD Vance told reporters that if Hasan’s execution was livestreamed, he was “not gonna be watching it.”
Peltola Raises $17 Million as Trump Heads to Alaska Former Rep. Mary Peltola raised $17 million over the past three months in her campaign against Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska as both parties intensify their efforts in the competitive Senate race. The $17 million marks Peltola's largest quarterly fundraising haul of the campaign. Her campaign said the total also set a third-quarter fundraising record for an Alaska Senate candidate, Politico reported on Tuesday. The news comes as President Donald Trump is scheduled to head to Wasilla for a rally later Tuesday, with Sullivan expected to attend, the senator's campaign confirmed. Vice President JD Vance visited Alaska last week.
‘Cornell 7’ accuser sent roommate 3-letter text during alleged gang rape, newly released messages show “Cornell 7” accuser Jane Doe sent her roommate a three-letter text during the time she alleges she was gang raped — which a lawyer for one of the accused frat brothers cites as proof she wasn’t too wasted to consent. Jane Doe’s roommate texted her at 3:05 a.m. on Oct. 20, 2024, to ask her, “You coming home tn [tonight]?” according to a screenshot shared by TMZ show. “idk,” the accuser replied, using the three-letter abbreviation for “I don’t know.” The text appears to have been sent from Jane Doe’s phone in the middle of what she later alleged was a drunken, ketamine-fuelled gang-rape in the Chi Phi fraternity house on Cornell University’s Ithaca, New York, campus. llhan Omar’s shady family history gives Trump plenty of reasons to probe her past Much of Ilhan Omar’s family story is a black box, but we are presumably about to learn much more about it. Federal authorities raided her Washington, DC, residence Monday in what’s reportedly a probe related to her immigration paperwork. The congresswoman has alleged an effort to weaponize federal law enforcement and silence her. The Trump administration, which has repeatedly over-reached in pursuit of its political opponents, doesn’t necessarily deserve the benefit of the doubt, although questions have swirled around Omar’s background for years. She has always responded with angry, uninformative dismissals, even when the Minneapolis Star-Tribune — not exactly a right-wing news source — has made inquiries. The allegation that’s gotten the most attention is that Ilhan Omar married her brother. ‘Compelling evidence’ of criminal activity drove feds to raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home: source
Trump targets Ilhan Omar, Somali migrants at Ohio rally as crowd chants 'deport' Omar responds after feds descend on her DC home amid immigration fraud investigation Abdul El-Sayed's alleged family ties to Muslim Brotherhood surface after denying any link during NBC interview Democratic Michigan Senate candidate told Kristen Welker his family had no ties to the group on 'Meet the Press' Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is facing new scrutiny after he denied that he or his family had any ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. On Sunday's "Meet the Press," NBC's Kristen Welker pressed El-Sayed whether he could "set the record straight" on allegations that his family had connections to the controversial Islamist group. "No," El-Sayed replied. However, according to his half-sister Eman Abdelhadi, their mother was an active member of the Muslim Brotherhood. In another 2012 post, Abdelhadi, a professor at the University of Chicago, wrote: "My family has long been MB, but I've always felt that it has navigated the political sphere poorly/destructively." Metallica frontman James Hetfield blasts entertainers pushing political agendas at concerts The musician's remarks come after Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's 'Loop Tour' over 'Free Palestine' statements Metallica frontman James Hetfield is calling out performers who bring political agendas to the stage. During Metallica's show at the Las Vegas Sphere on Saturday night, the 63-year-old musician took a moment to express his gratitude to fans who traveled to see the heavy metal band and blasted entertainers who turn concerts into political platforms. "I just gotta say, Metallica is not here, like some other entertainers, to influence you with their bulls---, OK?," Hetfield continued as the audience clapped and cheered. "We are here … no bulls--- … we're here to forget about all the outside s---, OK?" he added. "Metallica's agenda is love, energy and heavy music, baby!" Trump: China and Russia Not Helping Iran 'at All' President Donald Trump said late Monday he did not believe that China and Russia were helping Iran "at all," adding that Moscow and Beijing had "too much to lose" if they enabled Tehran. Trump said on Truth Social that he had seen comments from his critics and opponents that China and Russia were helping Iran. "If they are, it's at a very low level, but I don't believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast," Trump wrote. Trump said in July he trusted China and Russia not to help Tehran in the Iran war, but warned that if they did get involved "it would be very bad for them."
Two troubled Senate races could spoil Democrats' blue-wave fantasy Front-runners James Talarico and Abdul El-Sayed face growing scrutiny as polls show narrow leads over rivals By Liz Peek
The midterm elections are three weeks away. In some states, voting has already begun. Betting site Kalshi shows odds of 61% that Democrats will win control of the Senate. Recent developments in the Texas and Michigan races suggest keeping your money in your pocket. As voters find out more about front-runner Democrats James Talarico in Texas and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan, the polls are tightening. They say intimacy breeds contempt; nowhere is this truer than in politics. Radical wannabe rep Darializa Avila Chevalier just said the quiet part out loud about violent criminals By New York Post Editorial Board
New York radical congressional wannabe Darializa Avila Chevalier just said the quiet part out loud: It doesn’t “matter” to her that illegal immigrant and alleged gangbanger Oscar Belgal has a violent criminal record. She wants him free to roam the streets and terrorize neighbors all the same. Well, nuts to that: Belgal’s violent criminal record “matters” to normal New Yorkers. Enormously. Does it matter that Belgal's has a violent criminal record? They want thugs like him gone, and they’re beyond grateful ICE agents are risking their lives to boot these menaces from US soil — and keep Americans safe. Alas, Chevalier is not alone. Indeed, she’s giving voice to exactly the kind of scary views of many on the far-left, from Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani on down — even if they don’t put it so honestly. |
