Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 10/29/2025 1:13:20 PM
President Donald Trump’s firing of all members of an independent federal agency expected to review some of his construction projects, including his planned $300 million White House ballroom, has sparked an online backlash. Trump fired six members of the Commission of Fine Arts, a group of architectural experts that advises the federal government on historic preservation and public buildings, on Tuesday. The Washington Post first reported the firings. A White House official told the newspaper that new members who were more aligned with Trump’s "America First" policies would be named to the commission.

Michael Alfonso, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy’s son-in-law, announced his candidacy for Duffy’s old seat on Wednesday.
Alfonso, 25, said in a video statement posted to X that he is running for Congress in Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District to “keep the American dream alive.” The Republican also wrote in his post that he believes it is time to “bring opportunity back and put Wisconsin families first.” "Some say Congress needs older people with more experience. But let’s be honest, they’re the ones who created this mess,” Alfonso said in his candidacy announcement video. “We need leaders with strong values, fresh energy and the courage to fight for America’s future.”
Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Ben Cohen said Tuesday that parent company Unilever prevented the ice cream maker from creating a "flavor for Palestine." Cohen and the Vermont-based ice cream maker are known for social activism, often supporting Palestinians and criticizing Israel. "Unilever / Magnum stopped Ben & Jerry’s from creating a flavor for Palestine — so I’m doing it myself," Cohen wrote on X, referring to Magnum Ice Cream, Unilever's ice cream unit. "I’ve got a watermelon, an empty pint, and I need your help: Name the flavor or suggest ingredients. Or design the pint packaging," he continued. Watermelons have become a symbol of Palestinian solidarity
Zohran Mamdani’s filmmaker mom once described the socialist mayoral front-runner as “not an American at all” in a newly surfaced interview about his Indian roots.
Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, made the remarks in a 2013 interview with the Hindustan Times when she was asked about her then-21-year-old son’s upbringing.
“He is a total desi,” Nair told the outlet, referring to the Hindi and Urdu term used to describe those of Indian descent." Completely. We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan (American) at all,”
Starting Saturday, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for millions are in jeopardy as the impacts of the weeks-long federal government shutdown expand.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), which administers the food stamp program, said last week it will not use more than $5 million in contingency funding that Congress allocated for emergency scenarios. Next month’s SNAP benefits are estimated at $8 billion. SNAP funding is given to states monthly, with the federal government and states splitting administrative costs and states operating their own programs.

Zohran Mamdani’s father Mahmood — a prominent leftist in his own right — penned a book in the wake of the terrorist attacks of 9/11 where he argued that there was a “moral equivalence” between the United States and al-Qaeda, compared the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan to the terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center, blamed the U.S. for 9/11 and al-Qaeda, and much more. Mahmood Mamdani is a longtime tenured Columbia University professor, where the school says he "specializes in the study of colonialism, anti-colonialism, and decolonization."
An even more potent replacement for fentanyl is emerging in the United States, and experts say China is behind its rise.
Nitazenes, a class of synthetic opioids that can be up to 43 times stronger than fentanyl, were first developed in the 1950s as a painkiller, but their extreme addictiveness led drugmakers to keep them off the shelves. Now, their black market presence is increasing. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) logged zero reported nitazene discoveries from 2005 to 2019. Since then, the agency has logged nearly 7,000 such reports and linked the drugs to roughly 2,000 deaths.
An Indian man who was in the United States illegally is in custody after a stabbing that took place aboard an airliner on Saturday.
Praneeth Kumar Usiripalli, 28, is charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm while traveling on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, according to a Department of Justice news release.
The incident took place aboard a Lufthansa flight from Chicago that had been scheduled to land in Frankfurt, Germany. The incident took place while the plane was over the Atlantic, according to MassNewsLive.
TOKYO — President Trump announced Toyota has promised $10 billion in investments toward new manufacturing plants in the US — urging people to “go out and buy a Toyota” in a wide-ranging speech to sailors aboard the USS George Washington Tuesday in Tokyo Bay.
Trump, who is making trade and economic deals a top goal of his three-nation regional tour, said that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi told him earlier in the day that the world’s largest car company would pour funds into American manufacturing plants.
The attorneys general of 24 states filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the Trump administration’s attempt to stop the invasion-through-legal-loophole of “birthright citizenship.”
Attorneys general Jonathan Skrmetti, R-Tenn., and Brenna Bird, R-Iowa, led the charge alongside nearly every Republican state attorney general in the country with the 37-page brief asking the nation’s high court to side with the Trump administration’s argument that the 14th Amendment clearly does not allow for any person born on American soil to automatically become an American citizen.
India’s government is drafting a bill to expand and accelerate the already huge migration of Indians into jobs throughout the developed world, including white collar careers in the Fortune 500.
The “Overseas Mobility Bill” will help the Indian government train its young people amid recommendations from foreign companies, negotiate labor deals with foreign governments, and help bind overseas Indians to their home countries, according to the English-language Deccan Herald newspaper, which adds:
[Training] young Indians in the future of jobs overseas, negotiating better working conditions for [Indian] workers, and opening new pathways for [Indian] migration will be crucial. The law should empower young Indian migrants to strengthen their leverage and

Springsteen’ Movie Bombs All over the World
21 replies
Here in America, the Springsteen biopic opened to a truly dreadful $9.1 million. With billions more customers available overseas and Springsteen’s status as a global superstar, you’d think that’s where the money is.Nope.
The movie only scooped up another $7 million internationally, which means that its overall global take was a measly $16 million.
How bad is that?Well, box office analysts believed the worst it would do just here in America was $15 million, and it ended up only barely topping the domestic worst-case scenario all over the world.
Is this a case of “Go woke, go broke?”
Well, as I wrote on Sunday,
Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT), who serves as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said MAGA voters who cheer the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific would not like who a potential President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chooses to kill.
Jansing said, “You’re the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee. Have you seen any evidence to support the administration’s allegation that these are narco-terrorists?”
Himes said, “We have not seen lists of the individuals who were targeted. We have not heard what the protections are, what the checks are, to make sure that these are, in fact, drug boats
staffer for Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey was hit with drug trafficking charges after authorities intercepted eight kilograms of cocaine being delivered to a state office building.
LaMar Cook, who has served as deputy director of Healey’s western Massachusetts office since 2023, was charged with trafficking over 200 grams of cocaine, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful possession of ammunition related to the bust, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni announced Wednesday.
Multiple parcels containing about 21 kilograms of cocaine have been seized by Massachusetts State Police throughout the investigation into Cook.

Karine Jean-Pierre, the dolt who became Joe Biden’s White House Press Secretary through affirmative action (she’s black, gay, a woman, and learning disabled), has once again proven she’s every bit as stupid as everyone suspected.
Even the far-left New Yorker — an outlet inclined to fully embrace and protect black, gay, learning-disabled female Democrats — couldn’t protect her from herself.
You see, she’s selling a book about her time in the White House and her selling point is as nonsensical as those press briefings she used to deliver. It goes something like this… Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democrat Party and becoming an Independent
Bill Gates sees the light on global warming

— but will lefty climate warriors follow suit? 13 replies
Suddenly, Bill Gates is admitting that climate change won’t lead to “humanity’s demise” after all.
Now he tells us, after he long joined other climate alarmists in warning of “disaster,” as the West burned trillions on “decarbonizing” and steered economies toward the stone age.
The “doomsday view” that “cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization” is “wrong,” the Microsoft co-founder writes; people will “be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.” His 2021 book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” somehow missed these truths; he predictied instead that global warming “could be worse” than COVID.
One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps.
Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.
More than 24 hours of peaceful protest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Durango culminated Tuesday with pepper spray and rubber bullets being used against protesters.
Protesters gathered at the site Monday morning after a man and his two middle school children were arrested that morning on their way to school. Protesters formed a human chain in front of the field office gates Monday night to block federal agents from removing the family from the facility.

Fresh insights into the ecological devastation caused by onshore wind turbines around the world are contained in a shocking new paper published last month by a group of ecologists in Nature. The paper is paywalled and has attracted little mainstream media interest, but it highlights research that illustrates that the effect of utility-scale wind energy production “can be far reaching and sometimes have large and unexpected consequences for biodiversity”. An annual figure of around one million bats are killed in the countries with the highest number of turbines, but harmful effects are seen in many other parts of the ecosystem.
