While Christians are easy targets in other countries, U.S. churches are protected by professional security and armed parishioners. Photo courtesy of Gentle Response. Christians are experiencing some of the worst persecution of modern times, with believers around the world being killed because they are easy targets. Outside the United States, many have no weapons and have been taught that being a Christian means being a pacifist who turns the other cheek and does not defend himself. Less than two days ago, on October 23, 2026, gunmen carrying pistols and a long gun opened fire on a funeral at a Greek…
President Donald Trump called the sledgehammer attack on an Iwo Jima statue near Marine Corps Base Quantico a “disgrace” after police arrested a man accused of knocking the head off one of the figures. Trump made the remarks when a reporter asked what his message was to someone who disrespects a memorial honoring fallen Marines and what should happen to the person responsible. “What he did to that beautiful memorial was terrible. I guess he comes from Mexico,” Trump said. “He came in through the border of Biden, the open border of Biden and we nabbed him.” “But what he…

Republican Texas congressional nominee Brandon Herrera called out Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Jake Auchincloss over apparent ignorance about federal firearms laws early Saturday morning.Pro-Second Amendment activists put a referendum on the Massachusetts ballot to ask if Bay State voters supported a gun-control law passed in 2024 targeting so-called “ghost guns” and “assault weapons.” Auchincloss posted on Friday morning a video of the ad to X, saying he was supporting it “as a Marine and dad.”Also in the video, Auchincloss notably claims the parts for a so-called “ghost gun” can be purchased online, while removing a disassembled AR-15 from the two boxes,…
CLEVELAND, Ohio—Former President Barack Obama and other Democrats dusted off his “hope and change” messaging from his successful 2008 campaign and whipped up support at a get-out-the-vote rally on Oct. 24.With a blend of humor, cheerleading, and sobering calls for more “decency” in American politics, Obama urged Ohio voters to realize they messed up when the state voted to send President Donald Trump back to the White House in 2024.Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, played a big role in Obama’s two Ohio presidential victories; he drew about 69 percent of Republicans in that county during his second presidential run in…
Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration is working to reopen shuttered U.S. oil refineries and expand capacity, which officials say would bring down the price of fuel. Speaking in Houston, Wright said that officials are exploring restarts at multiple closed plants, according to a report from Reuters. “We are talking about reopening every refinery we can,” he said. “There are dialogues there, and that’s a tough challenge. I’m not saying all these are going to happen.” Wright explained that the Trump administration is contacting owners of every refinery shut down in the past decade to determine which sites…
If you merely paid attention to the legacy media in recent weeks, you’d think that the French riots were only a bit of a scuffle between students and police, with perhaps a few “ultra-left” agitators, and that the only negative takeaway from the whole thing is that—horror of horrors—this could help the Right.Let’s get this out of the way. What’s happening in France has been quite remarkable. These aren’t your usual French union-led protests that seemingly break out every summer in Paris and maybe lead to a car or two being overturned. These are large-scale violent riots taking place across the…

The Nevada Supreme Court Refuses to Rule on the Voters’ Right to Verify Their Vote is CountedUpdate on Nevada Supreme Court Case 93319Voters across the country are denied by design the right to verify the only ballot that matters: the ballot that actually gets counted. In electronic tabulation your votes are computed from an electronic “version” of your ballot, a version you are never allowed to see. If you cannot see it, you cannot verify it before it’s counted.ADVERTISEMENTThis matters immensely because the explicit design of electronic tabulation completely rejects voter oversight of what goes into the count. The count…
On Friday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish falsely claimed: “When you think of [Trump’s] initial campaign, the grab them by the genitalia comment that came out, his point of view is not like, oh no, we need to back away from something.” In other words, Cornish was saying that Trump didn’t feel any need to apologize — “back away” — from “grab them.” Except that, the morning after The Washington Post published the Access Hollywood tape, Trump issued a statement in which he said: “I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.” That is the definition of backing away.…
Third-party Wyoming gubernatorial candidate Rebecca Bextel told Tucker Carlson during an interview released Saturday that taxpayers of America’s reddest state in particular are being scammed by the development of affordable housing.Bextel, who is running under the banner of the Constitution Party, claimed taxpayer dollars were flowing to benefit out-of-state private equity firms, one of which she said was owned by the Japanese. Furthermore, the more-than-120-year-old famous Jackson Hole Rodeo may become a casualty of such transactions after the town of Jackson gave developers a “free 99-year lease” to build affordable housing on those grounds, Bextel warned Carlson.

(The Center Square) – It looks like the Silver State struck gold for its $50.5 billion 2027-29 budget.That’s the takeaway from Nevada budget officials and economists such as Orphe Divounguy of The Center Square after the state’s projection of a $1 billion surplus. During the Oct. 14 Economic Forum, state budget officials discussed how a surge and sales and tax revenue and record-high gaming percentage fees could push the state’s budget $1 billion higher than the 2025-2027 fiscal year’s $49.5 billion total during the biennial period from 2027 to 2029.

Minnesota could miss out on a significant source of education funding because the state has chosen not to participate in a new federal tax-credit program. With the 2026 gubernatorial election approaching, questions are also being raised about where Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., who is running for governor, stands on the issue. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has already stated that Minnesota will not join the program. The federal program allows taxpayers to receive a tax credit for donations to approved scholarship-granting organizations. These nonprofit groups can help cover private school tuition for eligible K–12 students, as well as certain public school expenses,…

SAN FRANCISCO—A federal judge rejected a bail request of a former OpenAI engineer who was accused of eavesdropping in the executive conference room with customized devices.“The Saudi government’s offer to pay an indeterminate and possibly limitless sum to secure the defendant’s release from custody does not assure the Court that it will exercise moral suasion over the defendant to keep him in the United States,” Magistrate Judge Alex Tse wrote in the detention order dated Oct. 21.William Pernik, the defendant’s lawyer, said Abdulrahman Alfozan is willing to put up “almost the entirety” of his assets—about $1 million currently in a…
Audi plans to invest about $4 billion to build its first U.S. manufacturing plant at the Middle Georgia Mega Site near Macon, with capacity to produce up to 200,000 premium SUVs a year and an expected 4,500 jobs.

RINO Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has joined forces with the Democrats again in opposing the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against the Democrats’ dirty trick in the Alaska Senate race. The controversy centers on Daniel J. Sullivan, who ran in the Senate primary as a Republican and is now running in the general election as a no-party-affiliated candidate after receiving just 2.5% of the vote. The scheme is intended to confuse voters into voting for the wrong Dan Sullivan, giving Democrat Mary Peltola a victory in the solid red state. The DOJ on Friday sued to block certification of Alaska’s Senate…
In September 1781, Thomas Hughes, then 22, visited Brighton for what he hoped would be a restorative holiday. It was not his first trip: such sojourns were common for Hughes. But on this occasion something was different. As Hughes recorded in his journal, ‘launched into a sea of gaiety and dissipation’ he nevertheless felt ‘out of my element’. Though he admitted to being naturally of a somewhat ‘reserved disposition’, this had never previously stopped the young man from enjoying polite company. But as he wandered among Brighton’s gaming tables and ballrooms, he found ‘little pleasure in a concourse of people…

Authorities still searching for the motive.October 25, 2026 by Daniel Greenfield 2 Comments There’s some debate in the media as to whether Azzm Khan is a “Lakeview Man”, a “Long Island man” or, better yet, a “New York man”.

Riots and looting spread to Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday evening as local youths sought to imitate the unrest seen in France and other European nations in recent weeks, apparently motivated by little more than a desire to cause destruction and loot stores. Hundreds of mostly young, hooded teenagers dressed in black descended upon the city centre of Barcelona on Saturday afternoon, destroying street furniture, clashing with police, and looting shops, the local Vanguardia newspaper reported. According to the paper, the initial protest, called under the vague pretence of fighting “against the system”, was organised on social media and not approved…
