New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, is privately plotting a primary challenge against House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, according to a new report. "Ossé, who backed Mamdani in the mayoral primary and headlined a rally and canvass efforts for him, has spoken privately with progressive groups about potentially taking on Jeffries in the Democratic primary next year," Axios reported Wednesday evening, citing three people familiar with the discussions.

#1, I have dust with more umph than poor Hakeem. 2) TRUE STORY: many years ago I ran into a young mother and her baby in the grocery store. Cute mother, and the baby (2 months?) was bright and happy. After oohing and ahhing, I asked his name. The young mother paused for a nanosecond, and then told me his name— which was several syllables, connected by dashes, and apostrophes. I could tell the mom was trying to remember all of the name in its proper order. Finally, she told me. (It was 5-6 syllables long). I smiled and touched the baby and said: “what was wrong with Bob?” She laughed and seemed to understand the burden she was putting on the baby.

Poor Hakeem. He stepped into Nancy's shoes and they were several sizes too big. Even his "protected class" designation will not save him.

I believe it is official now. The communists have officially stopped hiding behind the democrats and are now openly taking over their party. Since they have indoctrinated most of the college kids in this country, it won't be but another generation or two before the United States is taken over. I am glad that I will not be around to see it.

This Saturday, October 11, 2025, Palm Beach County Commissioner Gregg Weiss along with Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) Major Christopher Keane and Captain Byron Smith are scheduled to participate in a conference titled “Mercy to Mankind: Celebrating the Life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.” The gathering will take place at the Al-Amin Center of Florida (ACF) in Boynton Beach and is co-sponsored by the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF) (of which ACF is a member) and the American Muslim Advocacy Network (AMAN).

One of the most famous divisions in the U.S. Army officially took over command of the Joint Task Force guarding the southern border on Friday. The 101st Airborne “Screaming Eagles” officially took over command of the JTF Southern Border mission from the 10th Mountain Division in a ceremony Friday at the JTF Headquarters in Fort Huachuca, Arizona. The task force combines more than 10,000 service members from across the Armed Forces to protect the border, which has seen zero migrant releases in the last four months. “This is a real world mission against a living, breathing threat,” Maj.

The Trump administration’s approval of a Qatari air force base in Idaho isn’t popular with either of America’s political parties. Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the forthcoming Qatari Emiri Air Force facility in America’s heartland Friday morning, thanking the Middle Eastern nation for playing a “core part” in negotiating the ceasefire between Israel and Palestine. Mountain Home Air Force Base will host Qatari F-15 fighter jets and pilots, and allow Qatari forces alongside American troops for F-15 pilot training. The move, which stands in stark contrast to the president’s “America first” agenda, seriously rattled some of Donald Trump’s most outspoken supporters. “Never thought I’d see Republicans give terror financing Muslims

Gavin Newsom signed the legislation, Assembly Bill 268, into law on Monday, which will go into effect in January 2026. First introduced by Democratic California State Assembly members Ash Kalra and Darshana Patel, it will authorize public schools and community colleges to close in observance of Diwali and also allow employees and students to take time off to recognize the holiday, according to the bill’s text.

President Donald Trump’s State Department has fired a foreign service officer who admitted to hiding a relationship with a woman who had known ties to the Chinese Communist Party, the department confirmed to The Daily Signal. Investigative journalist James O’Keefe uncovered that Foreign Service Officer Daniel Choi admitted on a hidden camera to hiding his relationship with the daughter of a senior Chinese Communist Party official. “This termination is consistent with the executive order signed by President Trump affirming both his constitutional authority over our foreign policy and the State Department’s responsibility to carry out his directives,” Tommy Pigott, principal deputy spokesperson at the State Department,

If lawmakers get their way, President Donald Trump’s face will be on a special piece of legal tender to celebrate America’s quarter-millennial anniversary — and, as with all things Trump-related, it’ll be yuge. A bill introduced by GOP Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina and cosponsored by 13 other Republicans would put Trump’s face on a $250 bill minted in 2026 for America’s 250th birthday. And, while the legislation was initially introduced in February without much movement on it recently, both the co-sponsors and the president himself are giving H.R. 1761 — the “Donald J. Trump $250 Bill Act” — a renewed push in the media.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that while corporate officials have been mum on the chain's policy, multiple employees at stores in south and central Florida have confirmed that open carry is now allowed after a state appellate court ruled the state's ban violated the Second Amendment. Several other chains, however, are still prohibiting the practice.

Melania Trump, the most attractive and intelligent first lady in American history, is doing her part to restore public faith in mainstream media by forcing journalists to atone for their lies. Over the past several weeks, Melania has obtained retractions and apologies from media outlets that published falsehoods about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the jet-setting pedophile tycoon. This week, the publishing house HarperCollins UK apologized to Melania and recalled a recently published book about Epstein associate Prince Andrew. The book repeated the unsubstantiated claim that Epstein introduced Melania to her husband, the greatest living president, Donald Trump. Melania's legal team demanded a retraction and

It had – but so too had 10 undercover police officers. A video on social media shows Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, shouting for help as the swarm of officers move to apprehend him.

The cost for that Disney magic is going up. Walt Disney World has confirmed that it is raising prices on its theme park tickets, annual passes, and on some annual pass renewals. Disney World previously implemented "dynamic pricing," which means daily tickets to its theme parks vary by theme park, day, and demand. That will continue. Beginning during the 2026 holiday season, Disney confirmed that the highest ticket price point – only on its busiest days – could top $200 per person for a one-park, one-day ticket.

October is a month for political surprises, it’s been said. But one turn of events this month was not the least bit shocking. We’ve been following the flameout of the electric vehicle for years. It was quite predictable. Up until Oct. 1, Americans could reel in generous federal subsidies in exchange for buying an electric vehicle. A new EV or plug-in hybrid pulled down a $7,500 tax credit. A used EV or plug-in got $4,000. Now those subsidies are gone, thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill signed by President Donald Trump on July 4, and EV sales are expected

Katie Porter’s “unhappy experience” in a viral interview has become the news cycle from hell. The bipartisan pile-on following the widely-circulated clip of her contentious sit-down with a local CBS news reporter was only hours old when a new video surfaced from POLITICO of the former House member berating a staffer in 2021 — the two clips fueling long-simmering concerns about her temperament and judgment. Together, they suddenly boiled over into the broader political zeitgeist, raising questions about just how durable Porter’s lead in California’s gubernatorial race really is. “Is this a disaster?

Abigail Spanberger’s campaign for governor of Virginia took a major hit Wednesday night when she refused—repeatedly—to answer a simple question during the Virginia gubernatorial debate: does she still endorse Jay Jones for attorney general after his violent text messages came to light? The exchange, moderated by Deanna Allbrittin of WRIC, was terrible for Spanberger as she twisted herself into rhetorical knots to avoid giving a clear answer. Her opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, wasted no time pointing out what everyone watching could see—Spanberger was dodging.

The Washington Post, even after owner Jeff Bezos's shakeups, is anything but a publication friendly to Republicans or the Trump administration. But even members of the legacy media sometimes have to admit the obvious. One of those is Washington Post Marc A. Thiessen, who on Thursday penned a piece making the case for President Trump being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. This isn't a new notion; the idea's been kicked around before. But the calls seem to be getting louder. Not only does Donald Trump deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but there has arguably never been an American president who deserved it more.

This isn't speculation or paranoia. They're saying the quiet part out loud, and we'd better start taking them seriously. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries just laid it all out there during an MSNBC interview while reacting to the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James by a grand jury on mortgage fraud charges. His message: if Democrats win the midterm elections, Trump and his allies are in their crosshairs,
