We have discussed at length how the EU/NATO intelligence apparatus will do anything to keep U.S. President Trump and Russian President Putin in conflict against each other. As a consequence of tracking the datapoints around this issue, these events in Romania and Hungary cannot be perceived as coincidental.
Remember, what the EU intelligence apparatus did in Romania to control the election result. Remember also, the largest NATO base is being built in Romania. We understand the EU/NATO (CIA) agenda for Romania with clear eyes.
Jeremy and Jason Hammond, 40, who have rap sheets going back 15 years, were both detained at an anti-ICE protest at a facility in Broadview, Illinois, on September 26 – just four days after President Trump signed an executive order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Three conservative activists on the ground in Chicago as well as law enforcement sources said the Hammonds have been front and center at recent anti-ICE protests in the Chicago area, and have been actively doxxing those fighting against leftist school boards and illegal immigration and for the police since 2020.

Last week, two of the "youths" who attacked former DOGE employee Edward "Big Balls" Coristine were sentenced and both avoided jail.
Now U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro is announcing federal charges against more of Coristine's attackers, and we doubt they'll be getting a slap on the wrist.(snip) Lawrence Cotton Powell, 19, and Anthony Taylor, 18, who are linked to the beating of former DOGE staffer Edward Coristine in Washington, D.C., are now facing federal charges for a series of assaults and attempted carjacking.

Federal prosecutors signaled that they might seek the removal of the lead defense attorney in James Comey's criminal case on Sunday, citing his possible role in the disclosures Comey made in 2017, shortly after President Donald Trump fired him as FBI director in his first term.
Prosecutors cited the yearslong relationship between Comey and the defense attorney overseeing his case, Patrick Fitzgerald, as a possible conflict of interest — noting in particular whether Fitzgerald might have had any role in the disclosures Comey made during Trump's first term.

Democrats will get their 12th opportunity to open the government on Monday, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said during a press conference on the 20th day of the Democrat shutdown.
Johnson called out Democrats for shutting down the government over what he described as a “totally clean, non-partisan continued resolution.”
Noting the Democrats’ lack of shame over the hardships inflicted upon affected Americans, he continued:
This is a political stunt, and it’s the first time it’s been done, and it is the most costly, most selfish, most dangerous political stunt in the history of the United States Congress,
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,

“Sadly, it appears a former VP of the USA @Mike_Pence was as bad as they say he was,” Flynn wrote.
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.
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

In its Sunday episode of “60 Minutes,” the broadcast television network CBS misrepresented the facts in the civil immigration lawsuit brought against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is separately charged with human smuggling in Tennessee by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The segment featured an interview of Erez Reuveni, who was fired from the DOJ earlier this year for allegedly failing to appropriately defend the DHS from the lawsuit filed by Abrego Garcia, conducted by “60 Minutes” reporter Scott Pelley
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson is proposing the revival of a corporate tax that the Windy City eliminated over a decade ago that businesses are warning would cost the city jobs. Johnson is proposing a so-called "head tax" that would apply to companies with more than 100 employees and would levy a monthly $21 per employee on companies that meet the employment threshold. The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

It couldn’t have happened to a better person. The individual who was caught on camera yelling racist tropes at Virginia gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears at a football game has lost his job.
The incident happened over the weekend when Earle-Sears attended a football game at James Madison University. A White leftist in the crowd named Scott Pogorelc began screaming at the candidate, telling her to “go back to Haiti” and calling her a “traitor.” [snip] it wasn’t enough for the guy to humiliate himself by failing to get his racist tropes right, he did it on camera,
Mohammed Nazzal, a senior official with the Hamas terrorist organization, defended his group’s mass execution of Palestinian civilians on Friday after President Donald Trump warned Hamas could face utter destruction for the murders. Nazzal, a member of the Hamas Politburo, defended public executions as “exceptional measures” for dealing with “criminals.” He denied accusations that Hamas was simply rounding up and killing its adversaries to keep power in Gaza, even though the ceasefire deal stipulated that Hamas would play no role in postwar administration.
Former Biden White House Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called Trump White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt “deplorable” during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday.
“The View” asked Karine Jean-Pierre to react to a clip of Leavitt and a text exchange she had with a far-left Huffington Post ‘reporter.’
Karine Jean-Pierre echoed Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” insult and called Leavitt “deplorable.”
“Any advice for the current press secretary?” Sunny Hostin asked KJP.
The "No Kings" weekend of absurdity has ended, and many of us are still pointing and laughing at videos of aging Boomer hippies and Gen Z nitwits, both of which groups are shrieking incoherently about "tyranny" when in a real tyranny they would not be allowed to shriek incoherently about "tyranny." A casual read through history reveals very clearly, after all, that real tyrants aren't really big on free speech.
You can't expect any intellectual consistency from these people, after all. But now the raging of the nitwits has some Democrat Senators worried about holding the line in the ongoing Schumer Shutdown - worried, not about Republicans,
Liberals tell us 1) that Charlie Kirk had it coming, but 2) hardly any liberals approved of his murder. Both of those assertions are false. At City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s Christina Buttons reminds us of some basic facts. Copious links are omitted:
When the 31-year-old founder of Turning Point USA was assassinated last month, leaders in both parties condemned the attack, and many mourned the husband and father of two. But some progressives on social media had a different reaction: they rationalized, mocked, and even celebrated the killing.
The scale of this reaction was not trivial. An online database logged over 63,000 user-submitted posts that cheered Kirk’s death, though the site
Attendance was so bad, the legacy media was using protest shots from years ago. Worse still, the smattering of crowds were all old, white hippies.
MSNBC falsely aired video from 2017 claiming it was LIVE footage from yesterday’s “No Kings” rally in Boston in order to portray a massive turnout for “No Kings.” It was anything but.
These are theatrics, performances engineered by the global left elite (Soros et al). The bottom line is the far left is a fringe movement amplified by the Democrats and their media axis. They control big media and they rig elections so , in their minds, it’s a fait accompli. The people be damned.
The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax.
In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Thursday identified Gelsen Verela Dubon, the 18-year-old who was arrested following a high speed chase with Metro Nashville Police Department (MNPD), as an illegal immigrant from Honduras.
An ICE spokesman reportedly confirmed Verela Dubon (pictured above) is a Honduran national in a statement to WKRN, and Davidson County Sheriff’s Office records show he is currently being held on a detainer requested by ICE. According to ICE, such detainers are lodged, “against potentially dangerous aliens who have been arrested by another law enforcement agency or are removable from the United States.”

Ticktin has actively pursued litigation and public advocacy alleging election fraud in the 2020 election. As an attorney, he represents numerous clients seeking federal pardons and many J6 defendants, whom he prefers to call patriots.

Pop quiz. During which Trump administration did the following happen?
ICE has been targeting the home of immigrant children, mothers, and families in California, leading one critic to say the raids “go against our nation’s fundamental values of equality and justice for all.”
Another said, “How then could America say it’s OK to send parents of children away? What value system is that? I think it’s un-American.”
The American Immigration Council said that “ICE raids have left children without parents and feeling abandoned, separated nursing babies from their mothers, separated pregnant wives from their husbands, and compelled local communities and organizations to scramble to address child welfare crises in their wake.”
