Anti-Gun Rhetoric Doesn't Help With Domestic
Violence Tragedies

I'm far from an expert statistician, but I've learned a few things over the years about how people use and abuse statistics in order to make their political point. There are a lot of ways you can make a mild thing look absolutely horrific, all by presenting the statistics a certain way. In the Second Amendment debate, we see this a lot. And, well, we're going to see it again, this time as domestic violence prevention advocates try to misrepresent the statistics to push for gun control.

The individual who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in 2022 will be sentenced Friday.
Federal prosecutors are seeking up to life imprisonment as the defendant, Sophie Roske, pushes for just eight years. U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman will weigh the case’s disturbing evidence and concerns from Roske, who recently told the court she is transgender, about receiving care in prison under Trump administration policies.
Kavanaugh’s attempted assassination came as the court was preparing to overturn constitutional abortion rights, and it has become one of the highest-profile prosecutions in a rising trend of violence and threats against judges.
Apple has removed ICEBlock, which allows users to track and report the location of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, from its App Store.
“We created the App Store to be a safe and trusted place to discover apps,” Apple said in a statement to NewsNation, The Hill’s sister company. “Based on information we’ve received from law enforcement about the safety risks associated with ICEBlock, we have removed it and similar apps from the App Store.” The app, created in April, allows users to track where ICE officers are and pin their locations. Those within a five-mile radius of the pinned officers would receive a notification.
The Trump administration has informed Congress that the United States armed forces are engaged in hostilities against drug cartels and have killed operatives the president has unilaterally determined are “enemy combatants” because they are allegedly shipping quantities of illegal narcotics that kill Americans.
The notice was conveyed to Congress this week in a report that is required by statute — Section 1543a of federal war and national defense law (Title 50, U.S. Code) -- when American military forces engage in hostilities. Although the law mandates notice within 48 hours of the engagement, the three reported U.S. missile attacks on seacraft began ...
Bad news for Big Apple families: Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani says he’ll phase out gifted and talented programs in city schools; he’s doubling down on his vows to ensure New York’s kids don’t have the same educational opportunities his privileged background allowed him.
He says he’ll start by scrapping G&T classes in Kindergarten, but then move along in higher grades, following the plan Mayor Bill de Blasio outlined on his way out of office.
Eric Adams rightly reversed that, instead moving to expand G&T: Does Mamdani really have to crush every seed Adams planted?

dumped into Hudson River from Indian Point
nuclear plant 9 replies
Roughly 45,000 gallons of radioactive water from a defunct plant north of New York City will be discharged into the Hudson River after a federal court ruling struck down a state environmental law.
US District Judge Kenneth Karas sided with company Holtec International over New York State in a ruling issued last week that reversed the 2023 “Save The Hudson” law which sought to prevent the company from muddying the Hudson’s waters.
Holtec sued the Empire State last year, arguing that only the federal government had the right to regulate discharge of the Indian Point plant’s nuclear waste, which amounted to the 45,000-gallon sum, The New York Times reported.

Shocking video from Thursday’s deadly knife attack at a UK synagogue shows a cop frantically yelling at horrified onlookers to “go away” because the deranged suspect “has a bomb.”
Two people were killed after a man rammed his car into a crowd outside the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester before stabbing multiple worshippers who were marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in Judaism.
In one video from the terrifying incident, a police officer is seen saying, “Everybody else, if you’re not involved, move back. Get away, somebody stay with the casualties. Everybody else, he has a bomb, go away.”
At least two people were killed and five others injured Thursday when a knife-wielding madman plowed a car into pedestrians and stabbed a security guard outside a UK synagogue on Yom Kippur — the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
The savage attack unfolded outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester just after 9:30 a.m. as scores of people were worshipping inside, police said.
Cops descended on the scene after a witness reported seeing a car crashing into members of the public before a man was stabbed and left lying in a pool of blood outside the synagogue.

When they are in power, Democrats love to make up the rules as they go along. But when Republicans take over and decide to play the game by the rules Democrats made up, well, that's a problem. Former President Barack Obama was fond of chiding Republicans with a condescending "elections have consequences" reminder. Recently, Republicans on both the national and state levels have not been so subtle about returning that same rebuke in the form of an old Democrat "strategy": mid-decade redistricting, or gerrymandering, before the 2026 midterm election. Democrats are not happy, and the epicenter of their unhappiness is California.
Two regional Delta jets full of passengers and crew collided while taxiing at LaGuardia Airport on Wednesday night — as one flyer recalled the flights “absolutely” smashing into each other and part of a wing being ripped off.
The wing of Endeavor Air flight 5155, departing for Roanoke, Virginia, collided with the fuselage of Endeavor Air flight 5047, arriving from Charlotte, North Carolina, on the airport’s taxiway just before 10 p.m., according to preliminary information provided to The Post by Delta Air Lines.
CBS News producer Joey Annunziato, a passenger on the flight from Charlotte, described the chaos inside his plane’s cabin after the collision as “super jarring.”
If anyone needs to apologize, it is Qatar, which has long been financing, hosting, and advocating for Hamas and other Islamist terror groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS) and Al-Qaeda.
Qatar, in fact, needs to apologize not only to Israel, but to several Arab countries affected by the Gulf state's support for Islamist terror groups.
"Qatar is now known as the world's safe haven for terrorist groups and militia leaders.... Evidence suggests that Qatar has directly armed or financed multiple Islamist groups in the region, undermining U.S. objectives in pivotal countries such as Libya, Egypt, and Syria by pushing those places toward violent extremism." — US Representative Doug Lamborn, 2015.
The national Black Lives Matter movement claims $33.4 million of its cash is being withheld by one of its progressive partner organizations, The Post has learned.
In a scathing lawsuit, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation accuse the Tides foundation — backed by George Soros — of alleged “deceptive business practices” as well as “egregious mismanagement” of its money, while demanding its return.
The lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday when the BLMGNF — which oversees its other regional operations — asked the California Attorney General to step in and investigate Tides.

A new gubernatorial candidate has entered the fold in Georgia with an incredibly cringeworthy advertisement to let voters know who she is.
Democratic candidate Ruma Romman posted her campaign ad to social media platform X on Monday where she spouted all the usual leftist drivel about people being put last while big, bad corporations hold down them down. She promised to feed the hungry, increase the minimum wage, open hospitals, and help small businesses. “Georgia belongs to all of us, not just corporations and special interests,” Romman declared in front of a group of paid actors.
Charlie Kirk is dead. Americans must face why.
His murder was not random, not confusing, not detached from the battles he fought so fiercely in life. It was the direct consequence of his bold refusal to bend before one of the most aggressive and destabilizing ideologies of our time: transgender radicalism.
For years, Kirk warned about the dangers of this movement. Not just its cultural consequences, but the deeper crisis of mental illness and violence it has unleashed across the nation. In the end, his voice was silenced by precisely the pestilence he spent his career opposing.
The facts are painfully clear. On Sept. 13, 2025, police captured Tyler Robinson, a 22-year-old suspect
Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said President Donald Trump’s second term has become “the worst crisis in America literally since the Civil War.”
Host Chris Hayes said, “You’ve have been in you’ve served in Congress, in the Senate, you served through a number of different administrations with different presidents. I’ve covered a number of shutdowns. I’ve never seen a president during a shutdown kind of gloating about the ability to punish people or to take stuff away from people in states that didn’t vote for him. Have you seen that before?
Anti-woke former New York Times opinion editor Bari Weiss will be announced as the new editor-in-chief of CBS News on Monday.
The network - which is trying to rebuild its reputation after losing a multimillion dollar lawsuit to Donald Trump - will also acquire her publication, The Free Press for around $150 million. Weiss will report directly to Skydance Paramount CEO David Ellison, whose company Skydance recently merged with CBS' owners at Paramount.
Tom Cibrowski will remain CBS News' president but Weiss will not have to report to him. Weiss has been 'informally consulting' CBS for 'a while,' a source previously told The Daily Mail.

They can’t stop it. They’re powerless. And we don’t care if you’re upset. The memes will continue until the government reopens. It’s asymmetrical warfare—I love it. The Democrats never expected to be hit like this during the Schumer shutdown, and it shows. They are seething over President Trump’s trolling of Democrats over their little show here. Liberals want $1.5 trillion for illegal alien health care and NPR funding. That’s the crux of why they decided to shut down DC. When talks failed, Trump posted a video of Hakeem Jeffries, K-Mart Obama, standing next to Chuck Schumer with a moustache and a sombrero, where the latter rattled off reasons

The Democrats appear to have miscalculated on triggering a government shutdown by a vast measure, which we started to see in motion mere hours after the Schumer Shutdown began on Oct. 1.
Then as my colleague Ward Clark wrote earlier on Thursday, President Trump signaled in a Truth Social post he was eager to sit down with OMB head Vought in the afternoon, to dig into what extraneous government spending might get cut--especially anything prized by the Democrats. We may have had a preview of this, though, from something Vought posted on his X account on Wednesday afternoon --
The religion of Islam teaches that raping and killing non-Muslims is a holy and necessary action. Is it any surprise, therefore, that some of the Muslim immigrants to Europe and America admit frankly that their goal is, quite simply, conquest and transformation?
San Diego Imam Uthman Ibn Farooq delivered an address in Birmingham, Great Britain, which should chill the heart of every American patriot. America and Europe will be Muslim, the imam excitedly predicted, urging his fellow Muslims not to water down a single word of their religion, which includes explicit commands to rape, assault, conquer, and murder “infidels.” The imam even referenced a desire to be a “martyr,”

Randi Weingarten has taken to wearing a paper clip on her lapel as a bizarre symbol of her crusade against “fascism,” aka Donald Trump.
The president of the American Federation of Teachers is on tour to peddle her new book, “Why Fascists Fear Teachers” — yet another example of prioritizing poisonous politics over education from this Marxist fossil. Not to mention fattening her own wallet.
The paper clip, she likes to explain to anyone who will listen — mostly on MSNBC — symbolizes a Norwegian protest against Adolf Hitler in World War II.
Zohran Mamdani just offered fresh proof of his deep anti-cop bigotry with his call to shift key powers to discipline officers to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.
It’s a terrible fix for a problem that doesn’t exist — and one that would lead to worse policing, and so more crime; it would likely even produce a force with far more bad cops.
“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani says — without pointing to any actual bad results of the current law, which gives final say to the police commissioner.
President Trump said Thursday that he’s still weighing the idea of giving Americans up to $2,000 in rebates derived from the revenues his tariff agenda has generated.
Trump’s proposal to share some of the hundreds of billions of dollars the federal government has collected since he slapped foreign nations with steep levies in April, comes as the Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a case next month that will decide whether the president has the power to impose sweeping global tariffs.
“They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said of the tariffs in an interview with One America News Network,

A student television network at the University of Delaware, which houses the Biden Institute, offered "SPECIAL THANKS" to "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER" at the end of a comedy program, then quickly and quietly removed the joke from the episode.
The credits for last week’s episode of the Biweekly Show, a student comedy program produced under the university’s supervision, included a "special thanks" section with entries like "COCAINE," "AMNESTY WEEK," "VIOLENCE"—and "CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLER." Delaware Republican Party executive director Nick Miles told the Washington Free Beacon the video was uploaded to YouTube the evening of Sept. 25 and replaced with a version that omitted the credits the following afternoon. The episode does, however,
Thursday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) said President Donald Trump was “unhinged and unwell.”
Discussing a conversation with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Dean said, “I told him how deeply concerned I am that the president is unhinged and unwell, and our allies are noticing it, and they’re looking elsewhere for support, and our enemies are enjoying it, and they are emboldened by it.”
Host John Berman said, “You just called the president unwell again. What do you mean by that?”
Dean said, “Well, he’s aging, aren’t we all?
