An investigation conducted by the Buckeye Reporter has uncovered a troubling conflict of interest involving Rob Rue, the mayor of Springfield, Ohio.
The report alledges that Mayor Rue has been profiting directly from the ongoing Haitian crisis by renting out properties he owns to Haitian immigrants. This practice raises serious concerns among citizens who fear that the mayor is favoring low-wage, government-subsidized foreign residents over the local population.
According to the Buckeye Reporter, a 37-year-old man who identified himself as “Works,” has confirmed that he and other imported Haitians are living in buildings owned by Rue.

To Treat Violent Sex Offenders With Chemical Castration replies
Sex offenders are under rising pressure all over the world, and criminals convicted of rape and pedophilia may be facing increasingly tougher penalties as many countries move towards chemical castration sentences for these crimes.
Italy, for one, has started working on a proposed new law legalizing chemical castration for rapists and pedophiles.
Daily Mail reported:
“The parliament in Rome gave its approval on Wednesday to the creation of a committee that could draft laws on treating violent sex offenders with androgen-blocking drugs.
The treatment would be consensual and reversible with the aim of preventing reoffending, Politico has reported.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday said that federal investigators have refused to cooperate with state officials conducting their own investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, which occurred Sunday at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.
During an interview with Fox News host Laura Ingraham — after signing an executive order earlier this week authorizing Florida's attorney general to open a criminal investigation into the incident — DeSantis said the feds have rebuffed state officials several times.
The answer is "no," they’re not being cooperative. I am concerned. For example, we were rebuffed,

As RedState's Bob Hoge reported earlier Friday, Israeli airstrikes in Beirut and Lebanon have taken out several senior Hezbollah leaders, including Ibrahim Aqeel, in yet another blow this week to the terrorist outfit. Aqeel was one of the masterminds behind the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut back in 1983, and his demise comes on the 40th anniversary of one of his other attacks on the U.S. — the 1984 bombing that took place outside of the American embassy in Beirut. The Israel War Room X account noted the significance of the moment,

X was all atwitter on Friday with the question of what Jill Biden was doing at a cabinet meeting.
Joe Biden hasn't held one in 11 months, as he's abdicated his responsibilities. At the start of his meeting on Friday he introduced Jill, and then she did all of the talking about the White House Women's Health initiative. She didn't speak for very long, but she walked through some of the initiatives that they are taking -- (Snip) There's another reason I ask that question, which was also going viral on X.

It got buried because Donald Trump was the victim of another attempted assassination on the same day. Still, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH) took CNN’s Dana Bash to the cleaners about the situation in Springfield, Ohio. He took the liberal narrative about the town and ran it over with a tank. He knows the game—and executed another masterclass in outmaneuvering the establishment press. Bash was clearly irritated that she couldn’t land any punches, and it was becoming clear that Vance might be entering an area where his invitation to this network might be cut down significantly or outright rejected if he kept embarrassing the network’s hosts in this manner.
Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hosted a town hall on Thursday in Springfield, Ohio, where over 15,000 Haitian immigrants have invaded the small town with a population of just 56,000.
During the town hall, hundreds of people gathered to express concerns for their safety despite left-leaning networks dismissing claims that Haitian immigrants are overrunning the Ohio town. Reports also say the immigrants are reportedly also eating and sacrificing animals.
One woman told Ramaswamy that an illegal immigrant chased her and her daughter down the street with a machete, adding that police failed to respond to her calls or check in on the crime.

Gee, what a bummer. I missed Kamala Harris's star turn with Oprah because I was busy looking for pipe stretchers at Home Depot, but the show found me, so here I am writing about it when I should be downing the first Bombay Sapphire martini of the last weekend of summer. Yes, a gin martini; deal with it.
Summer is fleeting, so let's just get this out of the way now so I can go find the shaker. More and more people have less and less certainty that Kamala Harris owns the gun she's claimed to own only three times in her decades of public life.
A groundbreaking report from Steve Baker has unveiled crucial transcripts proving that President Donald Trump did indeed request National Guard deployment to ensure a peaceful protest on January 6th, 2021.
These newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.
According to the documents, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that President Trump expressed concern about the potential for unrest and proactively ordered the necessary precautions.
Fox News’s Gutfeld! set a new record after it drew an audience of nearly five million viewers during its interview with former President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
The outlet announced in a press release on Thursday that it had an average of 4.9 million viewers, marking “its highest-rated telecast in program history.” In the press release, Fox also revealed that the program had been seen by 744,000 viewers in the “25-54” demographic. The show is also reported as attracting “more Independents and Democrats than” its competition, according to the Nielsen MRI Fusion.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell is selling his home following security concerns after his address was leaked online. Campbell's family of four had been the victim of "doxxing," a leaking of personal information to the public, according to Crain's Detroit Business.

Iran hacked the Trump campaign, stole vetting materials, and passed it along to the media and to the Biden-Harris campaign.
According to the FBI, this was to sow chaos, rather than the obvious motive of helping the Democrats win.
The Biden-Harris campaign did not respond to the Iranian emails by going to the FBI. It did not contact law enforcement at all.
The media coverage is using all sorts of weasel words to explain the actions of the Biden-Harris campaign people. There are claims that they did not open the emails. The Biden-Harrs campaign claims that its people were the real victims of Iran.

On Friday, former President Donald Trump shared Breitbart’s Jon Kahn‘s #1 song “FIGHTER” with the 7.75 million followers on his Truth Social page, praising it as an “unexpected honor!”
“This is now the Number One Song across all charts, about me. Such an unexpected honor!” Trump said.
Kahn thanked President Trump for being the “Fighter America Needs.” When asked about what the takeaway of the song is thus far on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily on Friday, Kahn told host Mike Slater, “to recognize who President Trump really is and what he goes up against and we owe it to him to keep fighting alongside him regardless of what

Butler: Whistleblower replies
The Secret Service allegedly told local law enforcement that it would cover the rooftop where a gunman fired at former President Donald Trump during his July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to a new whistleblower account.
One of the local law enforcement officers involved in securing the Butler rally came forward as a whistleblower to a House GOP group investigating the assassination attempt.
“The Secret Service said they were covering that roof,” Rep. Cory Mills, Florida Republican, told The Washington Times.
After Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, it wasn't just his campaign that came to a halt — the illusion that he was running the country evaporated as well. Instead of governing, he spent more time at the beach than in the White House.

Israel on Friday took out Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah leader behind a trio of bombing attacks that killed more than 250 Americans in the 1980s — as the Jewish state moves toward all-out war with the Iranian proxy group.
Aqil – most recently a member of Hezbollah’s highest military body, the Jihad Council – “was eliminated in a targeted intelligence-based strike in Beirut,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
Also known as “Tahsin,” Aqil was a “principal leader” of the cell responsible for both the April 18, 1983, bombing at the US embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people including 17 Americans; and the Marine Corps barracks bombing

Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their foreign-policy team spent the last eleven months of handcuffing Israel in its war after Hamas' October 7 massacre and atrocities. For the past nine months, the Biden-Harris administration and other Western nations have demanded more and more concessions from Benjamin Netanyahu for a cease-fire and a hostage deal, painting him as the main obstacle to peace.
Now, according to the Wall Street Journal, it's slowly dawning on the Biden-Harris team that terrorists lie and have no real interest in a "two-state solution." First, however, we have to get through some it's-Israel's-fault excuses:
PHILADELPHIA — Eight years after Donald Trump shattered the Blue Wall, some Democrats worry he could do it again.
Most polls show Kamala Harris tied or leading Trump in the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin after a commanding performance at the debate. Party leaders are projecting confidence publicly. But on the ground, jittery elected officials, strategists and allies are quietly pointing to warning signs for the vice president.
The Teamsters withholding an endorsement from Harris this week — after internal polling showed most respondents backing Trump — is sparking fresh concerns that the GOP nominee could have higher-than-expected support among union members
A George Soros-funded nonprofit that steers left-wing prosecutors in major American cities is in turmoil after much of its minority staff accused their leader of being racist and abusive.
Long-simmering discontent at Fair and Just Prosecution reached a new high in April when Sherry Boston, the elected district attorney of Dekalb County, Georgia, accused FJP Executive Director Miriam Krinsky of racism for excluding her from a New York City event, emails obtained by The Daily Wire show.
Krinsky, who is white, replied by disparaging Boston and saying she was excluded from events because of merit, not race.
Breakdowns in communication with local law enforcement impeded the Secret Service’s ability to competently address the first attempt on former president Donald Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania rally in July, according to a preliminary report released Friday.
Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe, who replaced Kimberly Cheatle following her resignation due to fallout from the attempted assassination, laid the blame on complacent Secret Service agents, who he vowed would face unspecified consequences.
“While some members of the advance team were very diligent, there was complacency
On Friday afternoon, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe did a press conference in order to update the public on the Secret Service internal investigation on the July 13 assassination attempt on former President and GOP nominee Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Rowe's comments were short, summarizing the facts and investigation findings that RedState has reported extensively. The gist of Rowe's introduction embodied the fact that the "threat level is evolving" and requires a "paradigm shift" in the Secret Service operations and procedures in safeguarding their protectees.
Rowe outlined these main findings:
Qualcomm approached Intel about a takeover in recent days, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.
Intel shares rose 8% on the report. The deal, if it were to happen, would be one of the largest technology mergers in years. Intel has a market cap around $96 billion.
It would cap off a dire stretch for Intel. The company's stock had its biggest one-day drop in over 50 years in August after the firm reported disappointing earnings. Intel stock is down 53% in 2024 as investors express doubts about its costly plans to manufacture and design chips.

One of its capabilities was firing nuclear artillery shells....Alpha News has learned from a former National Guard colleague of Walz that, during that time, a classified document allegedly went missing—the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual detailing the howitzer’s nuclear capabilities.... According to the retired soldier, Walz had just returned from another trip to China around the time when the manual went missing. He alleges Walz was one of the few with access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was “often the only one there.”

The FBI on Wednesday confirmed that Iran-backed hackers targeted former President Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and tried to deliver that information to President Joe Biden’s campaign earlier this year.
The incident occurred over the summer, the FBI, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) said in a statement.

Iranian hackers in late June and early July sent what the agencies described as “unsolicited emails” to people associated with the Biden campaign. This came weeks before Biden announced in a statement that he was suspending his reelection bid before backing Vice President Kamala Harris,
Two countries share the Caribbean island that is called Hispaniola. The west side is Haiti. The east side is Dominican Republic (which shares practically nothing with Haiti except that island, but it’s racist to point that out).

A district judge in Kentucky was fatally shot in the Letcher County Courthouse in Whitesburg on Thursday, Kentucky State Police said. A local sheriff has been charged in relation to the shooting.
State police received a 911 call about shots being fired inside the Letcher County Courthouse just before 3 p.m. on Thursday.
“Several law enforcement agencies and emergency medical services responded to the scene and located District Judge Kevin Mullins, 54, of Jackhorn, with multiple gunshot wounds,” Kentucky State Police spokesperson Sherry Bray said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
The Georgia Election Board has approved a new rule requiring election workers to hand count ballots in the November election and confirm that the numbers match machine counts before the vote can be certified.
The rule, which was first proposed in August, passed in a 3–2 vote on the morning of Sept. 20, making Georgia the only state in the union to adopt such a requirement as part of its standard vote-counting.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has accused the FBI of blocking a state investigation into the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
In a press conference on Tuesday, DeSantis announced that Florida would conduct its own investigation, asserting that federal agencies cannot be trusted to investigate threats against Trump due to their ongoing efforts to prosecute him.
According to DeSantis, these agencies have no place leading an investigation where the most serious violations fall under state law, not federal law.

Kamala Harris reaffirmed that she's a gun owner and will fire away if anyone tries to sneak into her house.
The vice president made the statement in an attempt to burnish her credentials as a 'common sense' gun control candidate during her hour-and-a-half long livestream fundraiser with Oprah Winfrey.
'If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot,' she said, before showing off her trademark cackle. She then expressed regret, similar to how her boss Joe Biden would try to take back foolish statements: 'I probably should not have said that. My staff will deal with that later.'
The statement made headlines on social media,
Again, this is why Kamala Harris doesn’t do interviews: she’s braindead. The woman did a livestream event with Oprah Winfrey, which should have been a cakewalk. It ended up being a word salad extravaganza and a painful one. Winfrey exhibited body language that didn’t display confidence in the vice president. I don’t think the cultural icon knew what Harris was talking about half the time. Harris’ interview with the National Association of Black Journalists this week caught all three journalists giving expressions that weren't positive.
So now we have the murmurings of a third possible assassination attempt on the life of former President Trump. Multiple attendees seated onstage at Trump’s Tucson rally experienced severe eye pain afterward, requiring emergency room treatment. The initial indication supports the premise that there was possibly some kind of agent released in the air that caused the malaise. Granted, information is sparse at this point, but would anyone be surprised if it were true? You can almost feel it, the rising excitement in the lunatic fringe.
Political commentators and other social media users criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for remarks that she gave during a campaign event and interview with Oprah Winfrey on Thursday night. "We love our country," Harris said. "I love our country. I know we all do, that’s why everybody’s here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American and this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us. Let’s come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an

At least 20 Trump supporters may have been attacked covertly by chemicals or a high-power laser at a Trump rally in Tucson on September 12. Some victims suffered severe burns. Many were temporarily blinded, with symptoms lasting until today. Others may have been affected but have yet to be identified. The fact that all those known to have been affected were sitting on the stage immediately adjacent to President Trump is important in understanding the significance of what happened.
The victims were all part of a “Latinos for Trump” group on the stage. President Trump shook hands with them as he walked to the podium. But what they believed was

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that building eight electric vehicle charging stations so far under the Inflation Reduction Act’s $7.5 billion investment in electric vehicle charging stations is “on track.” Because most construction will occur in the second half of the decade.
Co-host Joe Kernen asked, “[O]ur designs on electrification of the auto industry, have we recalibrated there? And I’ll just give you one item and you can — maybe you can explain why, but under the Inflation Reduction Act, 7.5 billion for building these charging stations. The latest information, eight have been built with the 7.5 billion that had been allocated.
Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of the entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris -- ever since President Joe Biden, at the 11th hour, dropped out in July.
Harris seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she has not been previously prepped for. Her answers at the debate were memorized and canned. They never addressed the questions asked.

Lindsay Graham Travels To Nebraska To Convince Lawmakers To Revert To Winner-Take-All Electoral System by: Sterling Mosley 09.19.2024 On Wednesday, Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) traveled to Nebraska to convince Republican legislators that the state should revert to a winner-take-all system rather than the current system that allocates electors via the popular vote and congressional districts. Graham's visit to the state is the latest attempt by Republicans to give Trump a slight advantage in the 2024 race by giving him one more electoral college vote that could win him the White House.

When I was a young man fresh into my teens, I was still in the thrall of the various left-wing philosophies, including the pro-choice movement. I even marched through the streets of my city in a pro-choice protest, shouting, "Women have died because of Hyde!" This, of course, was in reference to the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funding for abortions except in cases of rape or incest or if the abortion is needed to save the life of the mother. I was young, indoctrinated, and confident that I stood on the moral high ground. I firmly believed that I was supporting women's rights and reproductive freedom.
It would be helpful to voters to know that a “whistleblower” says ABC rigged last week’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. But outside of conservative media, it’s being largely ignored, because the legacy press covers its own and as zealously as it does the Democratic Party. Whether the claims are true or not – the existence of the whistleblower remains unconfirmed – the mainstream media’s loyalty to Democrats is uncomfortably similar to the relationship Pravda had with the Central Committee of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.
A tidal wave of cheap Chinese imports floods the national market.

Kamala Harris on Thursday night attended a star-studded campaign event hosted by Oprah Winfrey, who was forced to nudge the vice president to get to the point during a rambling response to a policy question posed by the audience.
The two-hour “Unite for America” livestream event from Michigan was meant to highlight the grassroots organizers that are backing Harris and give voters an opportunity to ask her about her platform — but the Democratic presidential nominee didn’t offer any new policy proposals.
At one point in the evening, Harris was questioned about what she would do to secure the southern border.
After holding a massive rally on Long Island, New York, yesterday, former President Donald Trump, who is now a professional assassination survivor, dodging two attempts on his life in 65 days, was stopped by Fox News’ Gutfeld. There were some good clips from the show, but the one that had me rolling was this story about the only time Trump spoke with Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate. “He’s a strange guy,” Trump said. But he did recollect this hilarious story about when he spoke with Walz. It was during the 2020 election, around the time Gov. Walz was allowing leftist lunatics to burn down his state post-George Floyd.
Did you catch Donald Trump’s appearance on the Greg Gutfeld show last night? If you missed it, you can watch a bunch of clips here.
Greg Gutfeld has always gotten great ratings, but last night broke a record for the show and topped all of cable news and even network shows.
Reactions to the broadcast from viewers has been very positive. People feel it gave Trump a chance to show a side of him that voters rarely get to see. His humorous side.

ABC, CBS, and NBC News all broadcasted overwhelmingly negative commentary on the Republican presidential candidate after Sunday’s thwarted shooting at the Trump International Golf Course in Florida, MRC found. “A look at the first 72 hours of coverage on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights — finds that while the attempted assassination dominated campaign coverage, t
It was September 1995, and Tim Walz’s Nebraska National Guard unit, the 1-168th Field Artillery, upgraded to the M109A5 self-propelled howitzer. One of its capabilities was firing nuclear artillery shells. (snip) Alpha News has learned from a former National Guard colleague of Walz that, during that time, a classified document allegedly went missing—the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) manual detailing the howitzer’s nuclear capabilities.(snip) Walz was one of the few with access to the building where the top-secret manual was stored and was “often the only one there.” The former battalion member said he believes Walz stole the nuclear SOP manual and later returned it.
Tony Dungy, the first black head coach to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the modern era, recently called out Vice President Kamala Harris for a faith-based post in favor of abortion.
In a post on Thursday, Kamala Harris said, “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree: The government, and certainly Donald Trump, should not be telling a woman what to do with her body.”
In response, Tony Dungy said on X, “Dear VP Harris: I hear you make this statement all the time. Exactly what ‘faith’ are you talking about
Former President Donald Trump challenged Jewish voters Thursday to overcome the “curse” of the Democratic Party and raise his share of the community’s vote to more than 40%, given what he had done in the past for Jews and Israel.

Artist Scott LoBaido wowed the crowd of approximately 18,000 people at a Donald Trump campaign rally in Long Island Wednesday night, generating a compelling portrait of the former president in just over three minutes as thunderous music played.
Wait till the end: [Tweet, video]
Now, it looked to me like the black and white part depicting Trump himself had been painted earlier, and LoBaido unveiled it by pulling off some sort of plastic. That didn't ruin it for me, though, because it took planning and execution and was a nice reveal, almost like a magic show.
We've been doing a lot of coverage of the 2024 race, but even though Joe Biden was shoved off the campaign, he's still occupying the office of the president, which is concerning given the condition he's in.
He seems to have largely disappeared from view except for occasional outings since he withdrew. Maybe they're hoping to do what they can to hide him through the election. But on Thursday, someone made a mistake and let him out to speak at The Economic Club in Washington, D.C.
