Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/3/2025 2:56:09 PM
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the U.S. military killed four “narco-terrorists” on a boat he said was carrying narcotics off the coast of Venezuela on Friday morning, the latest strike on “narco-trafficking” vessels in the Caribbean Sea. Hegseth said a “kinetic” strike took out a boat affiliated with a designated terrorist organization in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility. No U.S. forces were injured during the operation. “The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics – headed to America to poison our people,”

Venezuela has accused U.S. combat aircraft of operating just 46 miles off its northern coast, as American forces surge across the Caribbean in what many view as a direct show of military pressure on Nicolas Maduro’s government.
Satellite imagery, Pentagon releases, and ship tracking reports reveal stealth jets, Marines, and naval vessels poised across Puerto Rico and the eastern Caribbean, raising the specter of escalating tensions that some say could be the opening moves of a broader confrontation.
Newsweek reached out to the State Department and Venezuela's Foreign Ministry for comment.
FBI Director Kash Patel has just put an end to one of the left’s biggest grifts: the idea that the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), one of the left’s foremost mechanisms for destroying those whom it fears and hates the most, was an impartial arbiter of what constitutes unacceptable “hate” that must be opposed and shunned wherever it appears.
It is bad enough that the SPLC has spent many years and untold millions of dollars smearing and defaming patriots, lumping them in with the likes of the KKK and neo-Nazis on bogus “hate” lists that were designed to marginalize and silence every effective opponent
A large fire erupted at a Los Angeles County refinery following an explosion on Thursday night.
Officers and firefighters responded to the Chevron refinery in El Segundo after receiving multiple reports of an explosion. The El Segundo Police Department is not aware of any immediate injuries or evacuations.
A witness said the explosion felt like a small earthquake.
The refinery has its own fire department. According to Chevron's website, the El Segundo refinery was constructed in 1911. The facility produces 276,000 barrels of crude oil every day and "is the largest producing oil refinery on the west coast,"
Notice how, now that the republic is embroiled in the Schumer Shutdown, Democrats are suddenly all a-twitter about Republican claims that they were favoring healthcare benefits for illegal aliens at taxpayer expense? Well, let's hop in the Wayback Machine and have Mr. Peabody take us back to 2020, and the Democratic Party's presidential primary debate. Remember this? Here's the question from NBC News' Savannah Guthrie that they are all answering in the affirmative:
You've been talking tonight about these government healthcare plans that you've proposed in one form or another. This is a show of hands question,
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,”
Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said President Donald Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s meeting of military commanders on Tuesday was a crazy “disgrace.”
Crow said, “Packing hundreds of general officers, generals and admirals into a room so they could be lectured by Pete Hegseth on woke culture war issues and grooming standards is not something that you see in the United States of America or should see in the United States of America. That’s something that Vladimir Putin would do. That’s something that Kim Jong Un would do, or Xi
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?
Stocks edged up to new record highs on Thursday as the U.S. government shutdown appeared poised to stretch into its third day.
The S&P 500 moved up a slight 0.06 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 79 points, or 017 percent. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.4 percent.

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?
Do You Hear Laughter, Democrats?

In 1956's The Ten Commandments, after Yul Brynner's Pharaoh released the Hebrew slaves from bondage, his Queen, Nefertiri, played by Anne Baxter, was bitter at losing her son in the final plague God brought on Egypt during the first Passover. She uttered the question, dripping with condescension, "Do you hear laughter, Pharaoh?" The same laughter of mocking and derision is cascading down on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and the rest of the Congressional and Senate Democrats in the wake of the Schumer shutdown, now entering Day 2.
If there has to be a government shutdown, October is as good a month as any
Readers may remember Chubby Checker's big hit, "Limbo Rock." The calypso-inspired song hit #2 on Billboard and took the top spot on Casbox in 1962, and remains a staple on oldies stations. The repeated phrase, "How low can you go?", still inspires backaches and laughter at parties, especially after a few drinks.
Well, executives at Protection Racket Media outlets may need more drinks to get past the latest data from Gallup on trust in their product. As it turns out, "how low can you go" has been a mission statement as well as a refrain. Today's iteration of their longitudinal surveys on media confidence hit a new low ... again:

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

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 --

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.

‘Charlie Kirk’s Killer’ 15 replies
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,

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,
