Bolivians headed to the polls Sunday in a presidential run-off election that brought a center-right candidate to power after two decades of one-party rule by the leftist Movement Toward Socialism (MAS) party. The vote pitted two conservative capitalists — right-wing former President Jorge Quiroga and centrist Senator Rodrigo Paz — against one another. Preliminary results showed Paz winning the election, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal said, securing over 54% of the vote. "The trend is irreversible," said Oscar Hassenteufel, the president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal.

Nearly 20 years after Dennis Rader was sent to prison, his daughter Kerri Rawson found the strength to confront him face-to-face. In 2023, the mother of two was enlisted by investigators to determine whether the man who once terrorized Wichita, Kansas, and taunted police during a 17-year murder spree might be linked to other unsolved killings. Facing the father who called himself BTK — short for "bind, torture, kill" — would mark the final break in a relationship already shattered by his crimes. Rawson, 46, who has spoken out about the serial killer over the years, is the subject of a new Netflix documentary, "My Father, the BTK Killer." It explores

Former NFL kicker Jay Feely is currently running for Congress in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, selling himself as the MAGA Republican choice for voters, but many are starting to notice his history of attacking Trump and supporting Democrats like Hillary and Bill Clinton. Feely is a 14-year NFL veteran who played kicker during a four-year stint with the Arizona Cardinals before ending his career with the Chicago Bears. Now, he’s setting his sights on Rep. Andy Biggs’ seat amid the lawmaker’s plans to retire and run for Arizona Governor in 2026. Feely is currently propping himself up on Fox News as the pro-Trump choice.

A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members on counts of “providing material support to terrorists,” the “attempted murder of officers and employees of the United States,” and “discharging firearms during, in relation to, and in furtherance of a crime of violence,” according to the indictment. These are reportedly the first terrorism charges associated with Antifa. The charges originate from a July 4 attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, allegedly by Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, indicted, and several co-conspirators,

Obviously, readers here are well aware of our research files on former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, and her various tentacles of operations against Donald Trump before and after the 2016 election. To enhance this ongoing effort, Twitter user “pepesgrandma” shares an email exchange from Mary McCord to the FBI in December of 2020 following the election. Apparently, Mary McCord was conducting surveillance of an Oathkeeper chat room and sending information to the FBI following the November 2020 election, and in the runup to the January 6, 2021, protest.

USSS spotted a suspicious stand near the AF1 zone in Palm Beach,” Patel wrote in a post on X, which included a screenshot of a Fox News article. “The FBI is investigating.” In a statement to Fox News, Patel explained that the Secret Service “discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand” that had a view of the President exiting Air Force One. Patel added that “no individuals were located at the scene.” “Prior to the President’s return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone,” Patel said in his statement,

The New Jersey Republican Party is sounding the alarms over the Democrat-controlled Passaic County Board of Elections’ alleged refusal to allow security cameras to monitor ballot storage areas for this year’s tight gubernatorial election. Passaic County’s Board of Elections is also accused of refusing to enforce “basic sign-in and sign-out logs” for individuals accessing mail-in ballots, according to the Garden State GOP. The crucial county — which President Trump won in 2024 in a stunning upset — has a history of alleged election irregularities.

A few short weeks before he left office, staffers for now-former President Joe Biden expanded H-1B visa rules to allow foreign workers to work remotely. In recent days, a viral social post has noticed that “Hundreds of H1Bs have listed the same residential buildings in Irving, Texas as their address of employment.” The poster of the data set said that “these scammers are either committing tax fraud by claiming to work in Texas,” or they are “actually working in California or they went back to India and are lying about their work address.”

There’s something quietly revolutionary about paperwork. It rarely makes headlines or history books. But every so often, a bureaucratic act reveals a moral frontier. Because citizenship isn’t just about where you live. It’s about what you’re willing to live for — and what you’re prepared to stand against. That’s what happened last week in Berlin, when the German government revoked the citizenship of a man named Abdallah A., a naturalized Palestinian-German who used his new German identity to glorify Hamas’s October 7 atrocities, the deadliest mass killing of Jews since the Holocaust. His Instagram stories praised the attacks as heroic, sanctified the gunmen as martyrs, and

Former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn sharply criticized former Vice President Mike Pence in a series of posts this week, accusing him of betrayal, hypocrisy, and silence over what Flynn described as one of the most difficult periods of his life and career.n several statements posted to X, Flynn accused Pence of failing to reach out to him after years of controversy surrounding his prosecution and subsequent exoneration. “Sadly, it appears a former VP of the USA @Mike_Pence was as bad as they say he was,” Flynn wrote.

Zohran Mamdani is the future of the Democratic Party and there is little the Democrat establishment can do to stop it. Most Americans are undoubtedly tired of hearing about New York and the socialist currently leading the city’s mayoral race, but what happens in the Big Apple may unfortunately affect the whole country. New York held its first debate Thursday night between three leading candidates: Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Mamdani. You can read my night-of analysis here. But I have one additional takeaway from the debate and race as a whole. The reason Mamdani, who is a state assemblyman and is backed by the Democratic Socialists of America

Fox News broke the story that the FBI is now investigating a hunting stand the U.S. Secret Service discovered with a “direct line of sight” to where the president exits Air Force One in Florida at the Palm Beach International Airport. According to Fox News: “Agents found the stand on Thursday, and the FBI is now leading an investigation into the discovery. FBI Director Kash Patel said the hunting stand has not yet been connected to any individual.

One of China’s most important meetings begins Monday, October 20, as leader Xi Jinping and other ruling Communist Party elites gather in Beijing to map out the goals for the next five years. The closed-door gathering — known as the fourth plenum — is expected to last four days and will discuss and put the final touches on China’s next five-year plan, a blueprint for 2026-2030.

On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump won the United States presidential election against Kamala Harris. It was a convincing win. Trump snagged victory in the Electoral College, where the contest is officially decided, 312 to 226. He needed only 270 to prevail. He also won the popular vote (a nice but unnecessary distinction), with 77,302,580 votes to 75,017,613, a margin of almost 2 million votes. I mention these well-known facts to underscore the black comedy of the “No Kings” protests taking place across the country as I write. According to several sources, some 2500 separate protests are planned. Millions of people are expected to join in the fun.

This morning, the headlines were dominated by Colombian President Gustavo Petro's claims that one of the strikes against vessels of Venezuelan-based drug cartels contained a Colombian 'fisherman.'No matter that this allegation can't be documented, and happened over a month ago, the claim was immediately picked up online. It will undoubtedly be the topic of discussion over the next few days. As Rush Limbaugh was famous for saying, "It isn't the nature of evidence, it is the seriousness of the charge" that matters. Here, there is literally no evidence, but the allegation of "murder' is pretty serious, so here we go.

Israel carried out “significant and extensive” waves of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Sunday, in response to what it said was Hamas’ “blatant violation of the ceasefire.” More than 20 Israeli airstrikes were reported in Khan Younis in the south of the territory, according to reports. “Our planes have begun a significant and extensive wave of attacks on dozens of targets throughout the Gaza Strip,” Israeli journalist Hallel Bitton Rosen wrote on X. It comes after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Hamas of firing on it in the southern city of Rafah. “Terrorists fired an anti-tank missile and gunfire toward IDF troops,” the IDF said,

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen faced two more challenges to her position in the European Parliament last week. She received support from just over half the members of the 720-seat European Parliament in both votes. Neither of the motions of no confidence had a chance of securing the two-thirds majority required to eject the President but still they served as the latest reminder of the increasingly fractured European Parliament and its growing populist factions. The Patriots for Europe group, a conservative-populist faction which participated in the parliamentary motion,

n September 10, by one bullet, the world was changed. Charlie Kirk, a fierce advocate for Judeo-Christian values and traditional American principles, was assassinated. His death didn’t just silence one of the century’s most influential voices—it shattered a family and exposed a growing rift in America’s moral fabric. While a strong segment of the American population was naturally shocked by the gruesome death of a Christian martyr, we also witnessed troubling jubilation from students and even teachers at institutions of learning across America. Even here in Texas, we saw students celebrating the assassination of a strong man who stood firmly for biblical values and traditional American principles.

The IDF began “a series of strikes” against Hamas targets in southern Gaza in response to the terror group violating the ceasefire agreement on Sunday, the military announced. The military condemned Hamas’s “blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,” which occurred when the terror group fired an anti-tank missile and opened fire on Israeli soldiers. Earlier, the Prime Minister's Office announced that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had instructed Israel's armed forces to respond with force against Gazan terror targets during a consultation with Defense Minister Israel Katz and the heads of Israel's security establishment.

Tellingly, the most senior of the nine officers axed on the 17th was General He Weidong, the second-ranked vice chairman of the Commission and Xi Jinping's No. 1 loyalist in the PLA. The general had gained prominence as Xi's top enforcer in the military. Gen. He was not the only officer who backed Xi and has now been taken out of the military's leadership ranks. Moreover, it is difficult to identify any Xi adversary who was purged in the last 18 months. It is unlikely, at a time Xi Jinping appears to be fighting for political survival, that he would remove his most important supporter in the military.

At a certain point facilitating an extension to conflict becomes an enabling of killing. It appears that President Trump has reached the end of his support for delivering mechanisms of war. Writing on Truth Social, President Trump notes: (image)According to media reports, President Trump has decided not to sell Tomahawk missiles to NATO for transfer to Ukraine. Nothing good can come from putting more offensive weapons into the conflict other than more bloodshed. The expressed position of the White House is to freeze the Ukraine war at current “property lines” of control, and enter negotiations to stop fighting. Toward that end, it appears President Trump is no longer willing to

Every time you think Democrats have hit bottom, that they couldn’t go any lower, one of them breaks out a shovel. Yesterday was the “No Showers,” I mean, “No Kings” rally. A bunch of unlovable mutants took time away from cyber-stalking the OnlyFans people they subscribe to and got a little free vitamin D from the sun to fight off the onset of rickets. For the first time in a few years, major liberal cities across the country shifted from smelling like pot and tear gas to smelling like body odor and tear gas…and pot, because that’s how liberals roll. I’m writing this before the event, mostly

The Gaza peace deal has rightly been characterized as tenuous at best — largely because Hamas seemingly wouldn't know honoring a commitment if it smacked the terrorist outfit upside the head. Speaking of which... On Saturday, the U.S. State Department issued an urgent bulletin, warning of an imminent Hamas attack on the people of Gaza and also warning that the "United States and the other guarantors" would take steps to protect Gazans and uphold the "integrity of the ceasefire." Now, the IDF has indeed responded to multiple Hamas violations of the ceasefire. An Israeli military official confirmed the strikes to Fox News on Sunday,

A gang of brazen thieves dropped the priceless Eugénie Crown outside the Louvre in Paris during a jaw-dropping daylight heist of the world's most visited museum. The group of criminals swiped priceless items, including a necklace and a brooch once belonging to Napoleon Bonaparte and his wife Josephine, in broad daylight, forcing the tourist attraction to shut its doors. The raid, which took place at around 9.30am on Sunday, saw the thieves brazenly break into the art museum, which is also home to the Mona Lisa, by propping a huge freight elevator up against its walls, according to an investigating source. The group of several 'highly organised criminals' arrived on scooters, masking their

Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta has announced a set of upcoming parental control features aimed at safeguarding teens’ conversations with AI characters on its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.TechCrunch reports that in a bid to address growing concerns about the impact of AI interactions on teen mental health, Meta has unveiled a suite of parental control features that will be rolled out next year. The announcement, made by Instagram head Adam Mosseri and newly appointed Meta AI head Alexandr Wang, highlights the company’s commitment to providing parents with tools to navigate the digital landscape safely with their teens.

Leftists are so obsessed with the Trump collusion hoax that they are seeing ‘connections’ in the most ridiculous of places, including the choice of tie that War Secretary Pete Hegseth wore yesterday. Not surprisingly, the latest conspiracy theory regarding Trump-Russia backfired. As The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson reported, a high-stakes meeting Friday involving President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy took place in the Cabinet Room of the White House, a departure from the typical Oval Office meetings that the President holds with foreign leaders.

The protesters weren’t the only senior citizens at the ‘No Kings’ protests today. In Massachusetts, Senator Ed Markey was out in full force, yelling about the fact that we don’t have kings in the United States, as if we didn’t know that. The ironic part is that Ed Markey has been in elected office in Massachusetts since 1973. From his Wikipedia page: Edward John Markey (born July 11, 1946) is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from the state of Massachusetts, a seat he has held since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, he served 20 terms (18 full, two partial) as the U.S.

Republicans and Democrats who can’t agree on much of anything these days — including how to keep the basic functions of the federal government up and running — seem to be finding common ground on how to approach an industry that’s poised to dominate the American economy: artificial intelligence. Citing an imperative to protect American workers and children from the predations of artificial intelligence, a bipartisan coalition is emerging to establish safeguards around the technology. The AI safety movement is fast becoming a powerful force on the state and national levels with advocates spanning the entire political spectrum. Its growing political strength ...

As I wrote earlier on Saturday, Vice President JD Vance was on hand to deliver remarks to an enthusiastic crowd of Marines at the United States Marine Corps' 250th Birthday Celebration event at Camp Pendleton in California But he managed to find time before arriving at the base to give his thoughts on the latest revelations involving Zohran Mamdani - the man whom the Democrats are championing to become the next mayor of New York City.In case you missed the latest, here's Bonchie to bring us up to-

Officials in President Trump’s Justice Department have been scrutinizing crime data in recent months — they’ve found evidence that Democratic politicians have been skewing crime stats for their own benefit ahead of the midterm elections, The Post has learned. Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker — a vocal opponent of Trump’s use of federal troops for both immigration enforcement and fighting big-blue-city crime — has lately touted double-digit declines in Chicago crime rates where “shootings and homicides on our highways are down 60, 70, 80% depending on where you look.” But the number of felonies in Chicago — not to mention New York, Los Angeles and Portland, Ore. —

Zohran Mamdani dropped his big education “plan” last week — and of course his vision amounts to nothing but bigger spending. He embraced the perverse state class-size law, which forces New York City (and no other system) to hire thousands more “educators” to no real purpose except to enrich the United Federation of Teachers. Class sizes are already below the law’s limits in nearly all the city’s (too many) failing schools; it’s the successful ones that will have to boost their teacher-student ratios. The law may well even require the “crown jewel” elite high schools (Stuyvesant, Bronx Science, Brooklyn Tech, etc.) to admit fewer kids,

A campaign staffer for Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani was recently caught on hidden camera saying “who gives a s–t” what cops think about the socialist candidate. “They’re city employees. You get told what to do, shut up. When did you get an opinion?” Robert Akleh, the citywide canvass manager for the campaign sniffed to an “undercover” operative for conservative podcaster Steven Crowder. Scott Munro, the president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association representing 21,000 active and retired NYPD Detectives tells The Post that New Yorkers better vote like their “lives depend on it.”

Trump made a flowing speech at the Israeli parliament that was remarkable for its frankness in showing the true picture of the situation to Israelis, combined with asserting his unflinching commitment to their security. [W]hat does peace, when poetic conceit is discarded, mean? It means that a war has ended with one clear winner and one clear loser, effacing a status quo that had bred the war. In the new status quo that must be created, the winner ought to have the final word. The second element in the method is to steer clear of flattering the foe rather than placating him, which would persuade him that you are acting out of weakness.

If you’re reading this today, you probably did not join the aged hippies marching around with signs saying “No more Kings,”a multistate demonstration whose sponsors are not yet fully disclosed. (I don’t think Meghan and Harry are among them, though there are some foreign donors involved.) But rest assured, you didn't miss much. John Bolton: This Week in “No Man is Above the Law” The biggest domestic story of the week in my view was the indictment of former National Security Adviser John Bolton. If the 18-count indictment handed down by a federal grand jury in Maryland where he resides is proven, he demonstrated astonishing arrogance and disregard for national security.
