President Trump announced the finalized Iran deal is expected Sunday.
"Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement," he wrote on Truth Social.
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday, Oct. 2, said he signed two election reform bills into law, including one that criminalizes lotteries for voter registration or participation.
From Sen. Tom Umberg, D-Santa Ana, the idea is to ensure wealthy people or special interests cannot influence voter participation. Umberg has pointed to Elon Musk as an example; the former advisor to President Donald Trump paid some Wisconsin voters $1 million each earlier this year, during a tight state Supreme Court election.
Multiple homeless people on Skid Row frankly admitted to an undercover reporter to receiving money to vote for Los Angeles Democrat Mayor Karen Bass and said ballot harvesters regularly come to search for votes.The California Post obtained videos of multiple homeless people in an infamous Los Angeles homeless encampment who said they accepted anywhere from two dollars to five dollars to vote for Karen Bass, and that ballot harvesters come down multiple times a week to bribe homeless people to vote for their favored candidates, which, in this election, was either Democrat Bass or socialist Nithya Raman.
Sentinel Of Civilization

As Western identity crumbles under the pressure of ideological abstraction and bureaucratic managerialism, Winston Churchill rises above the crowd as a lonely, embattled monument to conservative prudence.
In contrast to the imperialist warmonger of historical revisionism, Churchill embodied a profound Burkean conservatism: a soldier-statesman acutely conscious of civilization’s fragility, a patriot who loved British inheritance not as static relic but as living covenant, and a thinker who grasped that ordered liberty demands both reverence for the past and wary adaptation. His life, forged in the crucibles of the Boer War, Gallipoli, and the cataclysm of WWII, testifies to a worldview that prized historical continuity over utopian rupture.
Imagine being so mentally polluted (no pun intended) by your disdain for people who disagree with your climate fanaticism that you turn them into carbon footprint monsters in their obituaries? That’s exactly what leftist media outlets did writ large upon the passing of legendary former ExxonMobil CEO Lee Raymond. Outlets like Bloomberg News, The New York Times, the Houston Chronicle and the Australia-based Sydney Morning Herald all took aim at Raymond following news of his death at age 87. They all turned Raymond into Mother Earth’s archnemesis by making him the face of Big Oil and the so-called climate change denier movement.
In one of America's most technologically advanced states, California voters have grown accustomed to waiting days, and sometimes weeks, for election results. The state’s elections are a national disgrace.
Peru successfully conducted a national election involving more than 20 million voters and produced results within a single day. A single day. Yet in California, voters must wait days or weeks to learn the outcome of elections. In the world's most powerful democracy, that should be unacceptable.
These delays matter because election security is a matter of national security.

Spencer Pratt, the registered Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate who was heading for a runoff until loads of questionable ballots surfaced days after the election, says that the fire this week at his office was no accident.
The fire, which occurred at Pratt’s crystals company office in the Pacific Palisades on Thursday afternoon, is under investigation for “suspicious” circumstances, and Pratt himself certainly believes that it was the result of deliberate action: (X) The New York Post reported:
The Los Angeles mayoral candidate confirmed that the office, located inside the Highlands Circle complex at 1515 Palisades Dr., belonged to him.
The Los Angeles Fire Department’s Arson Unit was notified,
For those following NewsBusters’ coverage of the defamation cases brought against CNN (successful) and the Associated Press (on-going) by Navy veteran Zachary Young, one name should be familiar: Charles D. Tobin. A lawyer with Ballard Spahr, Tobin was part of the legal team that represented CNN and then the AP. As with the nature of defamation cases, both hinged on words and their interpretations. Tobin’s arguments before Florida’s First District Court of Appeal have repeatedly shown an aversion to holding the media to objective definitions.
In the CNN case, the phrase “black market” was one of the contentious points Young successfully argued were defamatory against him. In an unsuccessful April 2024
Even in the midst of PM Mark Carney’s flat-out admission that he’s ushering in a European-based New World Order “forcing” Canadians to be part of it, Trudeau’s tawdry romance with celebrity Katy Perry is literally dominating the “News”. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canadians will be forced to be part of "the next world order" that will emerge from Europe.
“This will be a unilateral decision that will not ask Canadians for their input.
"Canada will be part of that effort.”(Shadow of Ezra) For the last 11 years as Canada’s Prime Minister, Trudeau, the father of three, who masqueraded as a feminist, was closer to Mark Carney
Bending America Until it Breaks
replies
Bend a piece of metal; no matter how strong it is, keep bending it, and it will break. That is our current political system. And it is worldwide.
Europe is on some kind of autopilot. The people have literally no input into where they are going; it has become a very weird place. Victims of crime are being arrested while the perps are being let go. 90% of all new jobs are going to foreigners. Europe is getting closer every day to revolution.
Here, the difference in political parties has become so vast that any change in the power balance in Washington results in instability, chaos, and much bending.

CNN's Fact-Checker Has Vanished
replies
Remember Daniel Dale? Well, for those who watch CNN to keep an eye on what the enemy is doing, he’s the network’s fact-checker, and he’s vanished. Some in the media noticed that he’s been absent from the airwaves ever since the merger between Warner Bros. and Paramount was announced. The network says Dale is still around, however (via NY Post):
CNN’s most recognizable fact-checker has all but disappeared from the network’s airwaves, fueling questions about the sudden absence of one of its more familiar on-air personalities.
Daniel Dale, a Canadian journo who built a national profile as fact-checker of President Trump and other politicians, has not appeared
Disgraced Democrat Hillary Clinton is continuing to perpetuate an old lie pushed by liberals to prevent election security. (X) “They’re trying to kick people off of voter rolls,” Clinton said of Republicans promoting basic election integrity measures. “They’re trying to demand…you know…forms of identification most real people don’t have, and most older people, and most rural people don’t have. They are certainly redistricting to make it difficult to elect black representatives or Latino representatives or Democrats. So, that means that we have to be even more intentional in showing up and voting.”
So most “real people” (whatever that means) don’t have a REAL ID driver’s license or a passport?
England Is a B***h
replies
The news is as appalling, infuriating, sick-making, inexcusable, and earth-shaking, but one thing it isn’t is surprising. The revelation that one of the chief financiers of the principal forces arrayed against Britain and the West in general is the British government is all too much in keeping with the suicidal leftism we have seen from that government (whether the Tories or Labour are in power) for years now. So of course they’re funding ISIS. What else would they do? And the rot is even deeper than that.
The Daily Mail reported Monday that the British government “gave more than £28 billion in taxpayer cash to its enemies over six years,
The Karmelo Anthony Problem
replies
On April 2, 2025, Karmelo Anthony went to Memorial High School looking for a fight. Though he was participating in a track meet, he felt the need to bring a knife in his backpack. Once at the school, he sat in the tent of the opposing team. When confronted by Austin Metcalf, who told him to leave, Anthony reached into his backpack and said, “Touch me and see what happens.” Metcalf then grabbed Anthony in an attempt to forcibly move him out of the tent. Anthony then used his knife to stab Metcalf in the heart, killing him almost instantly.
Touch me and see what happens. This is the ethos
It was another busy week in the news, highlighted by the election for Mayor of Los Angeles, in which Democrats snatched victory from the ballot box of defeat with the now-familiar flood of post-election votes. As in the past, many were suspicious.
Graham Platner was in the news again. In any past era, his escapades would have led to a hasty substitution of a more plausible candidate. But the Democrats, as we have observed over the years, don’t embarrass easy.
An attempted decapitation in Ireland and a successful stabbing murder in Texas riled the public but elicited perverse reactions from the Left.
War hero Scott Pelley made a graceful, low-key exit from CBS,
I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968. I was 14. I enjoyed the visual spectacle—its special effects hold up well today—but hadn’t a clue about its meaning.
I eventually showed it to my Advanced Placement kids in high school. They were used to having all the answers, so I asked them to keep question logs we’d answer after the film. They scribbled furiously and constantly and walked out each day—it’s a long movie—muttering to themselves. Finding out you don’t have all the answers, that you really don’t know it all, is hard—and character building.
After a period in which I answered some questions and left the rest unanswered—they were
The June 2 gubernatorial race in California has Republican candidate Steve Hilton exceeding pre-election polls and headed to the November general election to face the top Democrat pick, former Biden Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Politics(Right)
As of this writing 94 percent of the vote has been counted and that tally puts Hilton in the top two, earning 24.8 percent of the vote while Becerra won 28 percent. Pre-election polls had Hilton trailing Becerra by eight points.
When you compare Hilton’s performance to previous Republican attempts to oust a Democrat, the results get interesting.
Back in 2022, then-former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard got blistered for raising concerns that the United States might be funding bio-research labs with dangerous pathogens in foreign countries like war-torn Ukraine.
Republican Mitt Romney – like Gabbard a former presidential candidate – accused her of spreading "treasonous lies" and "Russian propaganda," and many in the news media joined the chorus in a concerted effort to diminish the threat that U.S. tax dollars could one day lead to an accidental virus outbreak from one of those foreign labs.
Four years later, Gabbard turned the tables in epic fashion.
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Friday that the United States and Iran have agreed to a framework for the peace deal that would end the months-long conflict in the Middle East.
The confirmation comes amid conflicting reports on the details of the framework and whether it included a ban on Iran developing nuclear weapons.
"Amid ongoing intense mediation efforts by Pakistan, we are fully aware of incessant misinformation campaign being waged by those who want to sabotage the peace deal," Sharif posted on X. "We can confirm that a final, agreed upon text of the peace deal has been reached"
President Donald Trump announced Friday night that American forces launched a lethal kinetic strike on alleged Tren de Aragua leader Héctor Rusthenford Guerrero Flores, also known as“Niño Guerrero."
The order comes after the Justice Department charged Guerrero Flores last year with ordering, directing and facilitating acts of terrorism and violence in the United States and acting in concert with Cartel de Los Soles.
"At my direction, the United States Southern Command delivered a swift and lethal kinetic strike to successfully execute Niño Guerrero, the infamous leader of Tren De Aragua, one of the most bloodthirsty Terrorist Organizations on Planet Earth," Trump posted on Truth Social.
Britain’s minister for Northern Ireland, Hilary Benn, delivers a warning to those who complain on social media about their stabbing or beheading. Minister Benn notes the danger created by people online sharing information from Belfast after two days of civic unrest in the city following a migrant stabbing and slicing a local resident.
The need for control is always a reaction to fear. Apparently, the government of Great Britain is very fearful.
“Social media companies have a very heavy responsibility. It’s why we’re going to bring forward new powers next week to make it clear that social media companies need to take down illegal content,
The media frame the early arrival of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney as part of a bilateral discussion ahead of the G7 which begins on June 15. However, those who have followed the nuance of geopolitics well understand Mark Carney is in Paris early so that he can strategize with President Emmanuel Macron the best way to defeat Godzilla Trump.
There is a certain irony that amid the G7 only one economy is growing, the USA.
A leather bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex cells failed to sell on Thursday, the Paris auction house Drouot said, commenting that bids were well below expected. Auctioneers Giquello had touted the "one-of-a-kind" piece to sell for more than $500,000 but bids barely broke the $150,000 mark, said the Drouot house where the sale took place.
Unveiled in the spring in Amsterdam, the bag was created from traces of collagen from the femur of a T-Rex found in the US state of Montana 25 years ago.

U.S. House Republicans passed their No Aid for Ghost Students Act of 2026 on June 10, marking the end of a 3-month effort to pass the bill through the House of Representatives.
The bill, originally introduced to the floor by Congressman Burgess Owens of Utah in March 2026, seeks to crack down on criminals who pocket financial aid.
These criminals — “ghost students” — are thieves who impersonate higher education students to enroll in courses and receive federal financial aid that they can steal. The problem has grown since 2019, prompted by an increase in online courses being offered.
The No Aid for Ghost Students Act would require
