Only a handful of candidates in the 2024 Republican presidential field currently hold elected office. And both Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott have leaned on the power they have in those offices following the deadly terrorist attack in Israel and the subsequent war with Hamas.
DeSantis’ administration chartered flights out of Israel for Florida residents trying to get out of the country, while Scott has used his Senate perch to publicize new legislative proposals. Using elected office to amplify a campaign message is nothing new in presidential politics. But what is unusual this year is how few of the GOP’s current contenders
Richard Roundtree, an icon of Blaxploitation film who starred as detective John Shaft in Gordon Parks’ 1971 action thriller, died Tuesday afternoon after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 81 years old.
His death was confirmed by Patrick McMinn, his manager since 1987.
“Richard’s work and career served as a turning point for African American leading men in film,” McMinn said in his statement. “The impact he had on the industry cannot be overstated.” Roundtree was a leading man from the very start of his lifetime in screen acting. After beginning his career in modeling, he secured “Shaft” at the age of 28, marking his feature debut.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Mike Johnson, a relatively little-known Louisiana Republican and low-ranking member of the GOP leadership team, became the party's latest nominee for House speaker on Tuesday night after three other hopefuls fizzled out.
His nomination came just hours after Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., beat Johnson and six other candidates to seize the nomination, only to see Emmer quickly dropped his bid after failing to secure the near-unanimous GOP support needed on the House floor. Johnson, the GOP Conference vice chair, could suffer a fate similar to Emmer’s. It remains unclear whether he can garner the 217 Republican votes — a simple majority of the full House
President Joe Biden’s foreign policy chief, Antony Blinken, says Americans must give foreigners the opportunity to migrate into their U.S. homeland.
“You have to give them an opportunity to do that,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at an event at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy in Texas.
Blinken did not urge his government peers to enforce the immigration laws that protect Americans from employers who hire illegal immigrants that undercut Americans’ bargaining power in the labor market. He also did not mention the many polls showing the growing public opposition to Biden’s mass illegal migration.
The White House senior staff reportedly held wellness meetings for aides who may be struggling with Israel’s defensive measures taken against the Hamas terror group.
The meetings, termed “listening sessions,” featured serious “discussions” about the war and its impact on White House aides, eight officials told Politico.National security adviser Jake Sullivan conducted one virtual wellness check staff meeting on October 13. About 100 staffers attended, which Politico described as a review of the Biden administration’s position on the war while emphasizing that “not everyone agrees with it and has their own strong, personal feelings about the fighting.”
One official told Politico the wellness meetings focused on a pervasive “culture of fear”
A Secret Service agent at Barack Obama's Martha's Vineyard estate called 911 for help rescuing chef Tafari Campbell after he'd fallen off a paddle board, dramatic audio of the calls obtained by DailyMail.com reveal.
'We have a male drowning in the back of the property right now,' the agent named Dave tells a dispatcher at the 911 call center the night of July 23. 'We have our rescue swimmers. They're attempting to go out there right now.'
The agent reported that that there were already swimmers in the water trying to find the 'house guest' who'd fallen.
It’s an Empire State of decline.
Beset by high taxes and quality of life woes, 545,498 New Yorkers left for other states in 2022, according to US Census data.
Top destinations included Florida — the most popular choice — followed by New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania as well as more distant states like Texas and California.
The exodus was partly offset by more people moving to the Empire State in 2022 than any year over the last decade, with 301,000 new residents making the transition.
Despite that uptick, New York still suffered a net population loss of 244,000.

In another turn of events that could possibly reshape the legal landscape surrounding former President Donald Trump, Mark Meadows, Trump’s last chief of staff, was reportedly granted immunity to testify under oath. Meadows’ cooperation with Special Counsel Jack Smith could set the stage for his possible role as a key witness against the former president.Sources with knowledge of the matter told ABC News about Meadows’ cooperation with the prosecution.
Former President Donald Trump's final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith's team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury,
Since the October 7 Hamas massacre of Israeli civilians, House Democratic members of the “Squad” have drawn harsh criticism from even members of their own party for their rabidly anti-Israel posturing. But rather than shining a spotlight on the controversy, the broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) instead dutifully sheltered them from public scrutiny; in fact, since the attack, they have not received even a second of airtime on the evening newscasts.
MRC analysts combed through all of ABC, CBS, and NBC’s evening newscasts from October 7 through October 22 for any mention of the House Democrats colloquially known as “the Squad.”
Former President Donald Trump has mocked President Joe Biden for using the 'children's stairs' to board Air Force One - while prodding the president over photos that showed him napping on the beach while at a Monday rally in New Hampshire.
The visit to the Granite State saw Trump, 77, finally make his candidacy official - after which he spoke to supporters for some 100 minutes in Derry and gleefully slapped around his embattled successor.
Specifically, the GOP frontrunner honed in on the 80-year-old commander-in-chief's series of stumbling incidents, and the fact that he has been using a shorter staircase than usual to board and deplane
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) on Monday blew holes into James Biden’s reason for allegedly cutting President Joe Biden a $200,000 check in 2018, claiming it is a story contrived “out of their rear end.”
James Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, denied the $200,000 check he gave Joe Biden was due to a pre-existing business relationship. He insisted the money was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him.
Comer believes the $200,000 payment is suspicious because the money flowed through a distressed entity, Americore, which loaned James Biden a total of $600,000. On March 1, 2018, Americore wired James Biden $200,000. That same day,

Many of the criminals who Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear released under executive commutation during the COVID-19 pandemic went on to commit new crimes, a report from the state’s government showed.
The report examined the criminal records of the approximately 1,700 criminals that Beshear had released in April and August of 2020 to reduce the prison population during the pandemic. Of those released, roughly 70% went on to commit crimes, with 50% committing felonies within less than a year of their release.
Bill Gates probably thought he was just gonna make an easy profit here … nope.

During 2023’s fiscal second quarter, Gates bought more than 1.7 million shares of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the makers of scandal-ridden beers Bud Light and Budweiser. But apparently not even the overlord himself can save the tainted company, as they continue to spiral down the toilet
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres gave a speech at the UN General Assembly Tuesday and excused the October 7 terrorist attack carried out by Hamas on thousands of innocent Israeli citizens. At least two hundred people are being held hostage by Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip and 33 Americans have been killed."The attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum," Guterres said, falsely stating Gaza is under "Israeli occupation." Israel left Gaza in 2005. In 2007, the people of Gaza elected Hamas as their government, who turned the 25 mile strip into a terrorism hell hole
The Biden administration's proposed menthol cigarette ban could become a thorn in the president's side during the 2024 elections, political operatives planning to run ads attacking him have told Fox News Digital.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially proposed rules prohibiting menthol cigarettes and flavored cigars in April 2022 to "prevent children from becoming the next generation of smokers" and to "help adult smokers quit." After missing its August deadline, the agency said it remains a top issue, and they are nearing the end of the process.

Viral Neo-Communism

The virus of globalist neo-communism has spread around the world with massive help from United Nation’s Agenda 21 now morphed into Agenda 2030, its myriad of paid NGOs, Marxist billionaires, the global warming lie turned into the very profitable climate change industry with its “green energy” agenda, and the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum and its affiliates. This type of neo-communism, rebranded as “woke,” is more dangerous than ever as its social engineering goals threaten to control every facet of our lives, and puts in jeopardy the very existence of humanity itself.
Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., has dropped out of the race for speaker hours after being named House Republicans’ nominee.
Emmer won a majority of the GOP Conference on Tuesday morning after five rounds of voting, against six other potential candidates.
But it quickly became clear that he did not have enough support to outright win a House-wide vote. With Republicans’ razor-thin majority, a GOP speaker-designate can only lose four members of their own party to win the gavel without Democratic support. At least 25 Republicans said they would not support Emmer in a House floor vote after he won the title.
Recently on X, formerly known as Twitter, I wrote the following regarding the Oct. 7 Hamas incursion into Israel: “No context is needed: Jews are warmongers fit for annihilation. Israel must be eradicated.” It has since come to my attention that people actually read what I wrote and have taken it wildly out of context, causing quite a kerfuffle. Upon reflection, I wish to apologize to the Harvard community — not because Harvard’s president broke down my door, demanding I delete the tweet, which I have since done, but because my words somehow caused harm and a breathtaking loss of alumni donations.

When Hamas terrorists released 85-year-old peace activist Yocheved Lifschitz for the fawning press to record on Monday, she was kind enough to give them another small propaganda win on her way back to Israel.Lifschitz and her husband, Oded, were taken hostage from the Nir Oz kibbutz by Hamas terrorists on motorcycles during the October 7 terror invasion of Israel. Their daughter Sharone told the Times of Israel, “They’re no longer the kind of people who can survive without medications… Mom was ripped out of her machine; she was sleeping.”
Before the war, the Lifschitzes worked as peace activists, transporting sick Gazans to Israeli hospitals for treatment. Oded remains a hostage.
Former President Donald Trump said on Tuesday it would be a “tragic mistake” to vote for a “Globalist RINO” like House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) for Speaker of the House.

He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending Ilhan Omar, than he did me—He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters.
No, I’m not kidding. The New York Times re-hired an open admirer of Hitler to cover the Gaza Strip conflict. As I have pointed out before, you can’t believe a single thing reported out of the Palestinian territories because the “journalists” allowed to “report” are only allowed to be there because of their allegiance to the “cause.” There may be an occasional Western reporter who is allowed in to be shown carefully curated “facts,” but the people who bring you the “news” are almost exclusively agents of the terrorists.
“Journalists” such as Sulaiman/Soliman Hijjy, an admirer of Hitler whose social media posts include images and praise of Adolf Hitler
WASHINGTON - New data shows there have been over 800 carjackings in D.C. this year – more than double the total number of carjackings reported in 2022. That means the District is averaging almost three carjackings per day since the top of the year.
Now, Metropolitan Police are looking for a group involved in one of the most recent armed carjackings in Southeast.
Around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 17, officers were called to the 4200 block of 53rd Street where a man had just been carjacked at gunpoint.
Video released by police showed a black Nissan park behind a Jeep Cherokee on 53rd Street. Police say three suspects hopped
As noted by Politico in 2021, when asked about Donald Trump getting involved in midterm primaries, head of the National Republic Congressional Committee Tom Emmer told reporter Jacob Rubaskin, “He’s a private citizen, and he’s entitled to his own opinion.” “I would tell him that it’s probably better for us that we keep these people and we make sure that we have a majority that can be sustained going forward.”
Emmer followed later in March saying Trump getting involved in the GOP congressional primaries was “not gonna be helpful.”
Fast forward to 2023, Emmer is now the House Republican Whip and wants to be Speaker of the House.
It’s a familiar trope: The agitated young “transgender” person claims that being “misgendered” left him or her “literally shaking.” I’ve always seen that as a sign of a tragically weak human being. However, last night, while watching Dinesh D’Souza’s Police State, I found myself literally shaking, too. Maybe I’m pathetically weak, or maybe that movie triggered such a strong “fight or flight” response in me that, sitting there in my seat, unable to react to either instinct, all I could do was tremble.
Why is the movie so powerful? Because using a combination of reenactments, interviews, news footage, police body cams, and individuals’ security cameras, D’Souza has compellingly put together
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations is ripping the "horrible views" that U.N. Secretary General António Guterres expressed at a meeting of the Security Council on Tuesday and is calling for his resignation.

Israel is protesting after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres appeared to try to explain the impetus behind the Hamas terror group’s attacks on Israel at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas.
“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said. “The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoured by settlements and plagued by violence; their economy stifled; their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for a political solution to their plight have been vanishing.”
Guterres added that “the grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling
The US has said now is not the time for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, as the UN reports that some Palestinians who fled their homes in the north of Gaza have returned due to a lack of food and shelter in the south.
The White House national security spokesperson John Kirby told CNN on Monday that Israel still had “work to do to go after Hamas leadership”, echoing comments from the US president, Joe Biden, that any discussions of a ceasefire could only take place if Hamas freed all its hostages in Gaza.
The statement from the White House was at odds with comments from UN and EU
Amidst a rash of antisemitism emanating from the left following the deadly terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7th, those who championed cancel culture are now being devoured by it. Somewhat surprisingly, corporations have decided that championing the largest slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust is a bridge too far. Most would consider that a justified standard.
Yet, the same people who once lauded cancel culture as a necessary consequence are now demanding that conservatives come to their aid. Claims of hypocrisy are ringing out, claiming that because the right broadly opposed cancel culture, they should now go to bat for those who created it.
Jenna Ellis Pleads Guilty

Today prosecutors obtained another guilty plea in the Georgia RICO case against Donald Trump and others who challenged the apparent result of the 2020 presidential election in that state. The New York Times reports:
Jenna Ellis, a pro-Trump lawyer who amplified former President Donald J. Trump’s baseless claims of election fraud as part of what she called a legal “elite strike force team,” pleaded guilty on Tuesday as part of a deal with prosecutors in Georgia.
“Amplifying baseless claims” is not a known criminal offense, and it is something that a great many lawyers have been known to do.
We should all be aware of the domestic threat posed after several years of BLM alignment with various groups promoting Islamic Jihad. The extreme elements of the Palestinian movement have swelled in the U.S since 2009 and the introduction of sympathies for the Muslim Brotherhood.
In addition to the preexisting threat, Customs and Border Patrol are also raising the alert for potential Hamas, Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad fighters to cross the U.S southern border as the influx of illegal aliens continues unabated by the Biden administration.

WASHINGTON — Republicans on Tuesday picked Rep. Tom Emmer as their nominee for House speaker. The nominee now goes to the full House for a vote.
It’s three weeks since Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy. The House speaker will need to accomplish the seemingly impossible job of uniting the GOP majority. Emmer of Minnesota jumped ahead as the top vote-getter on early round ballots and was battling Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana on a fifth ballot.
Others are dropping out including Florida newcomer Byron Donalds, who’s aligned with Donald Trump, and Kevin Hern of Oklahoma. The nominee will also need to win a majority in a House floor vote.
Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Ever since September 11, 2001, Democrats have insisted that the real problem with Islamic terrorists killing innocent people is that innocent people might take a dim view of Islamic terrorists.
How dare we?
We’ve had a few discussions in the past couple of weeks about the Democrats’ inability to differentiate good from evil. Several times during the first week after Hamas decided to launch a terror spree by slaughtering a bunch of kids at a music festival, it appeared as if some Democrats might finally be breaking free from the hive mind and its knee-jerk Islamophobia chorus. I suspected that most of them
As Democrats continue to embrace and refuse to condemn anti-Israel, pro-Hamas views — from the mainstream media to Capitol Hill and campus leftists to marches in the streets of American cities — President Joe Biden's party desperately needs a reality check on who the good guys are and why they're not the Hamas barbarians who slaughtered Israelis in the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. And, since Democrats aren't willing to listen to those across the aisle when they explain why America needs to stand with Israel for the good and safety of both Israeli civilians and any innocent residents of Gaza against barbaric Hamas terrorists

In presidential elections there’s no such thing as a Pyrrhic victory. Winning is everything — and neither party would ever openly admit there could be advantages to losing.
Yet the outcome of the 2020 election wasn’t entirely unlucky for the Republican Party or even Donald Trump himself. And as both parties look to next year’s contest, far-sighted strategists can see a bigger picture beyond Trump and Biden.
Whoever won in 2020 was going to face the ugly but necessary task of withdrawing US forces from Afghanistan, where twenty years of nation-building had failed to establish a free state that could resist the Taliban. Trump might have executed the withdrawal more successfully

She was sentenced to five years probation, $5,000 restitution and 100 hours of community service. “I believe in and I value election integrity,” Ellis said in court. “If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges. I look back on this whole experience with deep remorse.”
Propaganda works. And for the past few decades, the Left has owned the education system and pushed identity politics so successfully that a generation has turned against civilization itself.
The morality of an act depends upon who did it, not what was done.
How else can you explain the fact that a majority of Americans under 25 think that the attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians were justified, even though a larger majority of them also believe that the attacks were done by terrorists who had genocidal intentions?

The day after Hamas’ onslaught against Israel, Pope Francis intoned: “Every war is a defeat.” A preemptive protest against retaliation, it contradicted centuries of the Catholic Church’s understanding of a just response to aggression. The ancient command to will good to all men does not mean leaving some of them loose to do evil to others.
Careful not to name Hamas, Francis begged that “the armed attacks stop.” His use of the plural “attacks” placed terrorists and Israelis on the same moral plane. It avoided distinction between a war of extermination against Jews and Israel’s defensive action against genocidal barbarians. Francis broadened lament to conflicts everywhere (especially in “beloved Ukraine”),
An elderly woman held hostage for 16 days by Hamas terrorists today explained why she wished them peace despite going 'through hell.'

'Grave concerns' replies
Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said Monday he has "grave concerns" about Israel's potential ground invasion into Gaza amid an ongoing war prompted by Hamas' terror attack on the Jewish State.
In a statement released Monday, Welch said he has "grave concerns about the wisdom and military efficacy" of an Israeli ground invasion in Gaza and that there is "no doubt" an imminent ground invasion would be "catastrophic for innocent Palestinians in Gaza and jeopardize urgent efforts to save hostages."
"Israel has the absolute right to attack Hamas for the brutal, heinous slaughter of more than 1,400 Israelis and the taking of more than 200 hostages,"
Israel had not even buried its dead from the horrifying jihadist pogrom that Hamas terrorists unleashed on Israeli civilians in south Israel -- beheading babies, burning them alive, torturing, raping, kidnapping, murdering -- before the European Union decided to reward the terrorists by tripling its assistance to Gaza.
"The Commission will immediately increase the current humanitarian aid envelope foreseen for Gaza by 50 million euros," European Commission President Ursula van der Leyen said. "This will bring the total to over 75 million euros. We will continue our close cooperation with the UN and its agencies to ensure that this aid reaches those in need in the Gaza strip."

That is extreme ignorance (not to mention dangerous) when a senator is willing to impeach a president just because he doesn’t like him, all without knowing the facts.
Friday afternoon, the Treasury Department reported that, despite a growing economy and low unemployment, the federal deficit shot up by $320 billion in fiscal year 2023. That’s unusual. But what’s really bizarre is why the deficit exploded.
According to the report, overall spending actually dropped by 2% compared with 2022 as the COVID-19 spending splurge abated.
What drove up the deficit this year was a sudden and completely unexpected 9% drop in tax revenues. Not only did revenues come up hundreds of billions lower than last year, but they were well below what everybody expected them to be.
Most of the Muslim world has joined hands with most of the leftist world to make a single argument: Israel is a colonialist occupier that must be routed from the Muslim Arabs’ native land. To the extent Hamas launched an incursion into Israel, it was a necessary act to end imperialism. Many of us (me included) fight back with history showing that Jews are the indigenous people and Muslims the colonialists. That’s a pointless argument because the colonialist claim is just a cover: Islam and leftism are grounded in hatred for Jews, which plays out in the pointed savagery of the attack and open calls for Jewish deaths
