A federal grand jury in Virginia has indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on a bank fraud charge.
The grand jury was meeting in the Eastern District of Virginia court to weigh the charges on Thursday, sources confirmed to Fox News.
Earlier this year, the Justice Department opened an investigation into James for alleged mortgage fraud. James successfully won a civil case last year against President Donald Trump and his Trump Organization over allegations of faulty business practices.
Black Chicagoans are taking to social media to welcome President Donald Trump’s deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and national guard troops to the Windy City to clean up the city’s streets and deport criminal illegals.Recently, U.S. Border Commander Greg Bovino posted a video to social media showing Chicago residents happily shaking his hand and thanking him for coming to their city to bring law and order.While some may dismiss Bovino’s video as “propaganda,” there is no denying that many members of Chicago’s black community are grateful for his presence and that of ICE or the National Guard in their city.
Loyalty can elevate or enslave. Placed in truth, it anchors. Placed in tribe, it distorts. Though I have known both, I abandoned the latter and embraced the former. That is why when I look at Ilhan Omar and Charlie Kirk, I see two distinct moral universes.
Charlie’s foundation was faith in Christ and country, in family and the free market. His faith was that America embodies true freedom and dignity because our country was founded on biblical principles—principles that demand that power be checked and the weak be protected.
Ilhan Omar’s foundation rests on three pillars: clan, Islamism, and leftism. Each demands loyalty not to principle but to faction. Each reduces life
During a roundtable event on Antifa with President Donald Trump, Bruner explained that he, GAI President Peter Schweizer, and their team “followed” a trail of money and “followed it to the top of what” they called the Protest Industrial Complex, or Riot Inc. Bruner explained that the so-called “Riot Inc.” was made up of many different divisions, and that “dozens of radical organizations” have received millions of dollars from Riot Inc.We found a network of NGOs, it’s not just the Soros network, the Open Society Network.

Democrats Decide to Take Out Candidate

Interestingly it appears the Democrat machinery has decided to torpedo former House member Katie Porter from her primary race for governor. Monday a controversial video segment appeared showcasing the unstable disposition of Mrs Porter, and today someone from inside the Biden govt decided to deploy another video showing her angry state of mind.
As noted by the New York Post, “California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter snapped and tried to storm out of an interview after being asked a simple question about President Trump — with the Democrat raging “I don’t want this all on camera.” Footage of the bizarre encounter, which aired on Monday and quickly started going viral,
On Wednesday, President Donald Trump directed his Cabinet to pursue designating Antifa a foreign terrorist organization, escalating his administration’s crackdown on the decentralized group. At a White House event featuring journalists who claimed to be victims of Antifa violence, Trump stated, “If you agree, I agree. Let’s get it done.” Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated, “There are extensive foreign ties, and I think that would be a very valid step.” This move follows Trump’s earlier executive order which declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. (F)oreign terrorist organization (FTO) status would trigger powerful federal tools — financial sanctions, travel restrictions, asset freezes, and criminal penalties.
When the Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage legal in 2015, I wondered what standard they would use should polygamists appeal for similar rights. In accepting a case from Colorado Springs about whether a Christian counselor can advise minors with gender dysphoria and same-sex attractions, the Court will again face the question of free exercise of religion vs. the establishment clause in the First Amendment.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is getting blasted for admitting Democrats are playing political games with the government shutdown with no regard for the pain it’s inflicting on the American people.In an interview with Punchbowl News, the Democrat leader “was as bullish as he’s ever been about his shutdown strategy,” telling the outlet “every day gets better for us.”
Trump officials and Republican lawmakers slammed Schumer for what they said was a "disgusting and revealing statement."
Jubilant locals in both Gaza and Israel took to the streets early Thursday to celebrate President Trump for his role in the historic cease-fire deal — with many calling for him to get the Nobel Peace Prize. Footage from both the streets of Tel Aviv and war-torn Gaza showed crowds of revelers celebrating what they hope will be the end of the two-year war as they hailed Trump for helping secure the deal.
Several high-profile antifa leaders have fled the country or are actively making plans to abscond overseas.
News of their escape comes after President Donald Trump designated antifa as a domestic terrorist threat and directed federal authorities to dismantle terrorism networks operating within the United States. Mark Bray, a financier of transnational antifa operations and antifa’s foremost thought leader in America, announced he is fleeing to Europe, settling in Spain specifically, under the pretext of safety concerns following negative media attention. Before his departure, Bray issued an apparent call-to-action, urging widespread militancy. “Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us,” Bray declared on Bluesky, a popular platform on the political Left.
There is a fundamental misconception about what is happening politically in this country, and it may be helpful to reconsider a particular assumption that is creating cognitive dissonance throughout American culture. That assumption is that Democrats are a political party. Consequently, every measure of their behavior seems unexplainable. The assumption is incorrect. They have accelerated their devolution as a political entity over the last decade and have now arrived at a stable, if not entirely American, end state. The leaders, elected officeholders, and members have now been completely subsumed into a Communist Death Cult. The recent past is only a prologue for what is to come.
It’s Banned Books Week, the celebration of blue-haired librarians cosplaying as champions of the First Amendment against evil conservatives who dare question the appropriateness of sexually explicit, pro-trans literature for five-year-olds. To summarize some of the silliness ably highlighted by NR’s Vahaken Mouradian on the subject: No “Banned Book” in America is actually banned; we still have an operative First Amendment, and every book on the American Library Association’s list of the top ten “Challenged Books” of 2024 is readily available on Amazon or at thousands of libraries and bookstores throughout the country.
On Oct. 9, 2009, President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

In 1910, a coal dust explosion at the Starkville Mine in Colorado left 56 miners dead.
In 1962, Uganda won autonomy from British rule.In 1963, a mega-tsunami triggered by a landside at Vajont Dam in northern Italy destroyed villages and caused approximately 2,000 deaths.In 1967, Marxist revolutionary guerrilla leader Che Guevara, 39, was executed by the Bolivian army a day after his capture.
After it came to light that Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Virginia’s attorney general, had fantasized about killing a political opponent and his children, some were surprised that other Democrats didn’t condemn him.
No one should have been surprised. Because what Jones said is a widely shared belief among Democrats these days.
According to National Review, which broke the explosive Jones story, he told a colleague that “the only way public policy changes is when policymakers feel pain themselves, like the pain that parents feel when they watch their children die from gun violence.” He was referring to a
About The “Jews”
replies
Van Jones, the CNN host and commentator, recently complained that neither the global left nor the mainstream media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic terrorists.
True, they are not reporting the slaughter.
Truer still, they should be.However, Van Jones went completely off the rails when he blamed “the Jews.”
Or as he put it, “No Jews, no news”—a stereotyped statement as anti-Semitic as it is untrue.
In truth, lots of mass violence worldwide is ignored.
Unlike Trump, neither the left nor the mainstream media cared much for the recent mass ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians from Nagorno-Karabakh—more than 120,000—by Azerbaijani Muslims.
I congratulate @POTUS on this historic peace plan that releases all the hostages,” Fetterman wrote in a post on X. “Now, enduring peace in the region is possible. Our parties are different but we have a shared ironclad commitment to Israel and its people.”
Fetterman’s statement comes after Trump announced in a post on Truth Social that Israel and Hamas “both signed off on the first Phase” of a peace plan.
“This means that ALL of the Hostages will be released very soon, and Israel will withdraw their Troops to an agreed upon line as the first steps toward a Strong, Durable, and Everlasting Peace,”
Bari Weiss and legacy liberalism
replies
Actor and comedian Groucho Marx famously said “I don’t want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member.” Liberals up in arms that journalist Bari Weiss will be overseeing CBS News are perhaps raging that their exclusive club is no longer that, rendering themselves as much of a joke as Groucho’s witty line.
Fox News reported on October 6th that Weiss, formerly a New York Times writer who started the media company the Free Press after exposing liberal bias at The Gray Lady, will be editor-in-chief of CBS News following Paramount’s purchase of the Free Press.
If you are on social media, or if you are watching the regime media, you might be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of bullSchiff coming from the left. Now, it’s all AstroTurf; the social media stuff is all consultant-driven, and the regime media is, well, the regime media. But the regime media is changing regimes before our eyes; it is just that no one sees it because they are distracted by the current fight. Larger trends and a newfound testicular fortitude among conservatives are forcing significant and permanent changes to the structure of the left’s most vital ally, with a powerful downstream effect.
European Union Ambassador to the United States Jovita Neliupšienė told Breitbart News exclusively in a lengthy interview last week that relations between Europe and the United States are going the “right direction” under the leadership of U.S. President Donald Trump and E.U. Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen. I think that they are going the very right direction because we had a meeting of Commission President Von der Leyen and President Trump in Scotland, in D.C., and on the margins of the NATO summit as well,” Neliupšienė said in the interview at the headquarters of the Delegation of the European Union to the United States in downtown Washington last week.

California has long been known for its counter-culture, its zaniness, its "otherness." But in recent decades, that reputation has grown sinister; it’s no longer about The Beach Boys, surfing culture, “Beverly Hills Cop,” or even The Eagles. For the last 15 years or so, give or take, it’s become more about hard-core left-wing politics, societal decline, socialism, and during the COVID years, even totalitarianism as the power structure in the Golden State enacted the most freedom-stripping measures of virtually any state. Now, unsurprisingly, the state’s brain trust seems to be in some sort of schizophrenic blender,

Guard Troops replies
A federal appeals court on Wednesday lifted a judge’s order blocking President Trump from federalizing Oregon National Guard Troops.
On Saturday, Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, blocked President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.
Judge Immergut issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and blasted President Trump’s decision to deploy troops.
The TRO will expire on October 18. The judge warned that Trump’s justification to deploy troops to Portland may send the country into a constitutional crisis.
On Sunday, President Trump called up hundreds of California National Guard Troops to Portland to circumvent the judge’s order blocking Oregon National Guard Troop deployment.
Political experts who watched the debate were divided on how the candidates fared on stage, but all of them told The Post that Mikie Sherrill had much sharper attacks than in the first debate.
"B-" for both candidates, said Dan Cassino, a politics professor and executive director of the Fairleigh Dickinson University Poll.
“This was more acrimonious than we've seen in the past,” Cassino explained. “They both hit their talking points. Did what they set out to do. Nobody landed a real knockout blow or a huge viral moment that's going to define this debate.”
“This was very much a draw.”

President Trump said Wednesday that he expects Hamas to release all remaining Israeli hostages on Monday, following a breakthrough peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian terror group.
“The big thing is hostages are going to be released probably, our time, would be, probably Monday,” Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity, in an interview hours after he announced both Hamas and Israel had agreed to the first phase of his 20-point plan for peace in the Middle East.
“They’re in a terrible situation there,” Trump said of the 48 hostages believed to be in Gaza, more than half of which are thought to be dead.
There’s an odd little side show that caught my attention in the vaudeville act of “Dr.” Ian Roberts, the illegal immigrant from Guyana whom the Des Moines School District hired, heroized, and paid $300,000/year. (None of those particular things caught my attention in themselves, since they’re all par for the illegal immigrant course, these days.)
What caught my attention is that he’s registered to vote in Maryland, which was one of his waypoints on his grand and illegal tour through America. How, I wondered, did he manage to register to vote in Maryland?
