Trump-endorsed Senate candidate Kari Lake (R-AZ) once again showed her sharp wit and disdain for CNN during a press conference on Saturday, delivering a searing critique of Vice President Kamala Harris’s brief visit to Arizona’s southern border. Lake took particular issue with the 20-minute duration of Harris’s visit, sarcastically comparing it to the short-lived CNN+ streaming service, saying, “That’s almost as long as CNN+ lasted.” Lake’s jab came as part of her broader critique of what she views as the Biden-Harris administration’s failure to address the border crisis. She argued that Harris’s photo-op was purely for show, aimed at appeasing…

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has reportedly died, leading to significant unrest among Shiite Muslims in Baghdad. Thousands of Iraqi protesters, many allegedly affiliated with Hezbollah, attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad. According to reports from the Geller Report, videos captured the chaotic scene as protesters clashed with Iraqi security forces, with some waving flags of Iran-backed militias such as the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a powerful Shiite paramilitary group in Iraq. Pamela Geller, who runs the Geller Report blog, highlighted the severity of the situation. She stated, “Videos show protesters clashing with security forces in riot gear can…

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a lawsuit against Alabama on Friday, challenging the state’s effort to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls just ahead of the November presidential election. According to the DOJ, Alabama’s actions may violate federal law, particularly as they come within 90 days of the election. This timing could affect voter access, which is protected under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). The NVRA prohibits purging voter lists within 90 days of an election to prevent improper disenfranchisement. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1840053202005180624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke stated that the DOJ is asking the court to restore the…

There are a couple of things to address that people have been discussing on X regarding the Kamala-Oprah event. First, there were questions about the use of a teleprompter during the event. It seems the teleprompter only appeared at the end when Oprah was delivering her closing remarks and giving instructions on where to find more information. According to the transcript, the lines displayed matched Oprah’s wrap-up, not Kamala’s. This event was already a mess, with Kamala delivering confusing, incoherent responses instead of addressing straightforward questions. It felt more like a “vibe” session centered on feelings rather than actual solutions.…

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, but was denied bail and remains behind bars. Now, a Texas-based law firm has announced that it is representing over 50 alleged victims who claim to have been…

On Friday, NFL reporter Michele Tafoya criticized pop star Taylor Swift after Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for the 2024 presidential election.

However, Tafoya quickly responded, expressing her concerns about the Harris administration’s policies, particularly on…

The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) recently made headlines by swearing in its first non-citizen officer and its first Somali female officer, marking a significant milestone for the department.

Recent posts on X have claimed that nine surface-to-air missiles were smuggled into the U.S. through a point of entry in New Mexico. This alarming report suggests the missiles are intended for three teams already operating within the U.S. The specific target, according to some sources, may be former President Donald Trump’s plane. https://twitter.com/samosaur/status/1839385714745577666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/laralogan/status/1839436821752934771?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Dr. Pete Chambers, a former Army Lt. Col. and Green Beret who has worked to protect the southern border, first made the information public. He received the initial report from a confidential informant on the evening of September 22.

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) signed several “reparations” bills on Thursday, including a formal apology for slavery and racial injustice, despite the state having entered the Union as a free state in 1850. These bills represent a broader effort to address historical wrongs and racial inequality, though they fall short of the cash reparations that many activists have demanded. The formal apology acknowledges that, although California was a free state, it still participated in practices that harmed African Americans. The apology reads in part: “Whereas, well after California entered the Union and declared itself a free state outlawing slavery, more…

Non-citizens living in a Phoenix apartment complex have admitted to being registered to vote, as shown in undercover footage shared by the Oversight Project. The video, recorded at the Los Vecinos apartment complex, reveals that multiple residents, who are not U.S. citizens, confirmed their voter registration status.

Others at the complex also acknowledged being registered to vote, with some expressing support for…
