White House Press Secretary calls out CNN reporter in front of everyone

CNN has had a checkered history with the truth. That fact is especially true in their reporting of Donald Trump.

And now the White House Press Secretary calls out a CNN reporter in front of everyone.

White House Briefing Spotlights Portland Protest Coverage

In a White House press briefing on October 6, 2025, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt pressed CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins to verify reports on Portland, Oregon, protests through direct observation, amid President Donald Trump’s proposal to deploy National Guard troops.

The exchange highlighted tensions over demonstrations targeting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, where federal agents have faced nightly confrontations.

Portland saw renewed clashes on October 5 and 6, with protesters gathering outside the ICE detention center on South Macadam Avenue.

Local police arrested two individuals on Sunday for harassment and assault during the events. Earlier, on October 4, about 400 demonstrators marched against potential Guard involvement, resulting in three arrests after federal agents used tear gas and pepper spray.

Key Moments in the Exchange

Collins challenged the deployment’s necessity, citing Portland Police Chief Bob Day. “I spoke to the police chief of Portland last week. He said that the president’s claims just don’t match up with what’s happening on the ground,” she said, asking if Leavitt had heard from Guard supporters.

Leavitt advocated for firsthand accounts: “I would encourage you, as a reporter, to go on the ground and to take a look for yourself… independent journalists… have been in the middle of these riots, and they have witnessed the anarchy that is taking place night after night. It’s on video!” She noted plans to host such reporters at the White House.

When Collins interjected about airing footage on CNN, Leavitt suggested her sources might be biased: “You’re probably talking to partisan Democrat officials who are opposed to everything this president does.”

She urged speaking to affected residents, adding of protesters, “These people are not there to peacefully protest, they are there to cause mayhem and havoc.”

The clip, shared by Collins on X, drew over 1,900 likes and mixed reactions.

Broader Context and Legal Developments

The unrest builds on Portland’s protest history, including 2018 ICE office closures and 2020 courthouse attacks during Black Lives Matter actions. Trump has called the city “war-torn,” arguing disruptions justify Guard aid.

However, U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut blocked the deployment on October 6 until October 18, finding insufficient evidence of severe hindrance. The Justice Department appealed to the 9th Circuit.

On October 2, journalist Nick Sortor’s arrest at a protest led to a DOJ probe into Portland police bias. Oregon officials report only 25 citywide arrests in June 2025, with none since.

Supreme Court gifts Donald Trump a huge victory that sent Democrats spiraling

Even the courts in America are starting to get fed up with Democrat policy. And they are turning Washington, D.C. on its head.

Because the Supreme Court gifted Donald Trump a huge victory that sent Democrats spiraling.

Johnson Forces Dems’ Hand in Shutdown Showdown

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., ramped up the pressure on Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Friday by axing next week’s legislative slate, stranding lawmakers in their home districts until at least October 14—a masterstroke to expose Democratic intransigence and rally public support for GOP fiscal restraint as the 2025 government shutdown lurches into its second week.

This calculated recess not only saves taxpayer money on empty chambers but shines a spotlight on Senate Democrats’ serial rejection of the House GOP’s sensible stopgap, forcing them to own the chaos from their ivory towers while federal workers and families bear the brunt.

The House was primed for a October 7 return after idling since September 19. Johnson laid it bare to reporters: no deal, no session.

“We passed it, and it’s been rejected by the Senate,” the House speaker told reporters during a news conference. “So the House will come back into session and do its work as soon as Chuck Schumer allows us to reopen the government. That’s plain and simple.”

Jeffries’ Empty Threat Highlights Dem Disarray

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., blustered during his own Friday presser that he’d drag Democrats back to D.C. next week solo—a hollow flex that two sources confirmed to Fox News Digital was just one arrow in the GOP’s quiver, fine-tuned after the Senate’s predictable no-vote.

For the fourth time Friday, Senate Democrats torpedoed the GOP’s continuing resolution (CR): a no-frills extension of fiscal year 2025 funding levels, plus $88 million in bipartisan bolstering for congressional, White House, and judicial security—measures with cross-aisle backing that could’ve kept paychecks flowing.

Democrats howl over their exclusion from negotiations, but their real gripe is the GOP’s refusal to rubber-stamp enhanced Obamacare subsidies set to lapse end-2025, a pandemic-era handout that’s ballooned costs without delivering promised results.

Their retaliatory CR to October 31? A partisan poison pill undoing Medicaid reforms from the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” and resurrecting Trump-era defunding of NPR and PBS—classic left-wing payback that Republicans rightly trash as a non-starter.

As Jeffries fumes, Republicans remind voters: Democrats greenlit 13 identical “clean” CRs under Biden, proving their current tantrum is pure power-play hypocrisy.

Epstein Probe Delay Fits GOP’s Prudent Path

The shutdown breather conveniently shelves a contentious push for fresh Jeffrey Epstein DOJ files, dodging a bipartisan discharge petition from Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., that needed one final signature—easily nabbed if Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., swears in post-special election.

GOP brass dismisses it as redundant grandstanding, with the House Oversight Committee already dissecting the DOJ’s Epstein bungles under Trump’s watchful eye.

Johnson flagged to Fox News Digital this week that the cross-party bill risks unmasking victims’ private details, a red line for responsible conservatives who prioritize justice without collateral damage.

Schumer twisted the knife at his briefing: “Johnson and the House Republicans care more about protecting the Epstein files than protecting the American people.”

With Trump championing the GOP’s disciplined approach—slashing waste while safeguarding essentials—Johnson’s stand buys time for public pressure to mount on Democrats, ensuring any resolution favors everyday Americans over elite entitlements. As the clock ticks, it’s clear: Republican resolve will break the deadlock, delivering the efficient government voters demanded.

Tim Walz confesses what he did to Kamala that doomed her campaign

Kamala and Tim were never a great match. And now they’re finally telling all.

Because Tim Walz confessed what he did to Kamala that doomed her campaign.

Walz Admits Debate Shortcomings in Wake of Harris’ Critique

Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, reflecting on his 2024 vice presidential debate against JD Vance, conceded during a YouTube-posted MinnPost Festival session Tuesday that his approach may have been overly lenient toward his opponent in a contest riddled with Democratic missteps.

The October 1, 2024, encounter unfolded as “largely civil” and infused with “midwestern nice,” though Walz faltered with repeated gaffes. Addressing Saturday’s MinnPost discussion, he acknowledged Vice President Kamala Harris’ pointed assessment of his performance in her recent memoir.

“As far as the book and things like that go, I think she has every right to be critical. I do think I let her down on a couple things,” Walz said. “And I warned them my Minnesota nice thing is if somebody’s being nice to me, I’ll be nice to them … These people have seen me debate. I know my subject. I’m pretty good at it. I don’t think I’m particularly mean.”

Probing the Politeness: Walz Grapples with Perceived Boost to Vance

Moderator Lulu Garcia-Navarro pressed Walz on whether his demeanor allowed Vance to project a “more collegial side,” potentially aiding the Republican’s image. Walz appeared to agree before minimizing the debate’s weight, then retracting the dismissal.

“It did matter though, and I think in the moment we were in, in preparing for that, and quite honestly, we did not prepare for him to be more cordial. The expectation was that he would do the false attacks and do some of that. And they didn’t,” the governor said.

“So, I’ll give them this — they were well prepared. But my goal was to try and find, you know, getting there. And I’m saying, ‘We all want to fix immigration, but you’re doing the ‘dogs and cats’ stuff. What we’re talking about is fixing the system, adjudicating asylum claims faster.’”

“That was viewed as me trying to find common ground. And the teacher in me, and this is a nervous tick or habit that we have when you’re a teacher, when someone else is speaking next to you, you instinctively nod and listen and try and listen,” he added.

“And that was viewed as — and the vice president took it — that I was agreeing on some of the things that were a personal attack on her. And it wasn’t that at all. Because when we’re teachers or in any other one, like, ‘That’s really interesting. It’s dumb as hell but it’s very interesting.’ And I was doing that.”

Harris’ Memoir Highlights Internal Democratic Frustrations

Harris’ “107 Days” levels direct criticism at Walz for “nodding and smiling” during Vance’s remarks, interpreting it as falling for “fake bipartisanship” and a contrived amiability, according to Fox News.

“I told the television screen: ‘You’re not there to make friends with the guy who is attacking your running mate,’” she wrote.

The book further faulted Walz for mishandling a question on a CNN report that exposed his incorrect claim of being in Hong Kong during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests in Beijing.

Compounding the scrutiny, an October 2, 2024, MSNBC “Morning Joe” panel voiced dismay at Walz’s inability to counter Vance effectively, particularly his response to the Tiananmen inaccuracy, underscoring broader Democratic concerns over the ticket’s debate readiness.

Chuck Schumer becomes a laughingstock in front of the Senate for these embarrassing comments

Schumer has had some rough moments as a U.S. Senator. But this may take the cake.

And Chuck Schumer becomes a laughingstock in front of the Senate for these embarrassing comments.

The U.S. Senate turned into a circus Tuesday night when Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tried to dismiss a stinging New York Times poll as “biased.” The poll exposed what most Americans already know: the Democrat push to shut down the government is a reckless stunt nobody asked for. Schumer’s whining only proved how out of touch he is with the heart of the country.

A New York Times/Siena poll, conducted from September 22 to September 27 with 1,313 registered voters, asked a straightforward question: should Democrats shut down the government if their demands aren’t met? The answer was a landslide. A massive 65 percent of respondents said Democrats should keep the government open, while only 27 percent backed their shutdown scheme. The numbers are a gut punch to the left’s agenda.

Even more embarrassing for Schumer, his own party is divided. Less than half of Democrat voters in the poll supported shutting down the government over unmet demands. That’s right—Schumer’s base isn’t even on board with this disaster. It’s a clear sign the Democrats are marching to the beat of their own elitist drum, ignoring the will of the people.

Then came the moment that had senators howling with laughter. Just after 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, with the shutdown looming, Schumer took the Senate floor and tried to wave off the poll. “Now I know the leader is going to show a poll that says that the Democrats will be blamed for the shutdown. There are many more polls that show Republicans are blamed. The question in that poll is biased. Biased. It’s in the New York Times, but it’s biased —” he said, before the chamber erupted, cutting him off.

Schumer, doubling down, added, “That’s true. I don’t always believe in the New York Times, you can be sure of that. Neither do you.” The irony was rich. Here’s a Democrat leader, trashing his hometown paper—one of the left’s favorite mouthpieces—because it dared to print inconvenient facts. The laughter from his colleagues said it all: Schumer’s desperation was showing.

The clock hit midnight on October 1, and the government shut down. Why? Democrats blocked a clean continuing resolution (CR) from Republicans—a no-drama plan to keep the government funded. Instead of working together, Democrats chose chaos, proving they care more about their agenda than the American people.

This shutdown is a textbook Democrat power grab. They’ve spent years blaming Republicans for every budget fight, but now the mask is off. The New York Times poll shows 65 percent of Americans want the government to stay open, yet Democrats are holding it hostage. It’s a betrayal of the hardworking taxpayers who keep this nation running.

Republicans, by contrast, offered a common-sense solution. Their clean CR was about stability, not political games. But Democrats couldn’t resist turning it into a spectacle, leaving federal workers, national parks, and essential services in the lurch. The choice was clear: Republicans stand for order, while Democrats thrive on disorder.

Schumer’s claim that the New York Times is “biased” isn’t just laughable—it’s a sign of panic. When even a left-wing outlet like the Times prints data that exposes Democrat overreach, you know they’re in trouble. This poll isn’t an outlier; it’s a warning shot from the American people.

The shutdown’s consequences are real. Federal employees face furloughs, families can’t visit national parks, and critical services grind to a halt. All because Democrats prioritized their ego over the public good. The 65 percent of Americans who opposed this shutdown aren’t just a number—they’re the backbone of this country, fed up with being ignored.

For too long, Democrats have leaned on the media to spin their failures. But when the New York Times prints the truth, their narrative crumbles. Schumer’s Senate floor meltdown was a moment of clarity: the left’s grip on the story is slipping, and Americans are seeing through the charade.

This fight is bigger than a budget. It’s about who runs this country—the people or a handful of elitist politicians. Democrats want to hold America hostage, but the people have spoken. They want a government that works, not one that throws tantrums for headlines.

Republicans need to keep the pressure on, exposing Democrat hypocrisy at every turn. The American people deserve leaders who listen, not ones who dismiss their concerns and mock the truth.

As the shutdown drags on, the blame lands squarely on Schumer and his party. They had a chance to do right by America but chose chaos instead. The New York Times poll wasn’t “biased”—it was a reality check. And if Schumer thinks he can dodge it by trashing his own side’s paper, he’s in for a rude awakening.

This shutdown isn’t just a policy failure—it’s a symptom of a deeper problem. The left thinks they can bully the country into submission, but the people are done with their games.

Trump secures a major court victory against this Big Tech giant

Trump secures a major court victory against this Big Tech giant

The president has had all sorts of legal woes over the past few years. But he’s quickly starting to come out on the right side of many of these battles.

And Trump secured a major court victory against this Big Tech giant.

In a major win for free speech and accountability, YouTube has finally caved and agreed to fork over $24.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump. The suit stemmed from the tech giant’s heavy-handed suspension of his account back in 2021, right after the chaos on January 6.

This payout isn’t just pocket change—it’s a direct slap at the Big Tech overlords who tried to silence the people’s choice. Court papers reveal that the lion’s share, a whopping $22 million, heads straight to the Trust for the National Mall. This group focuses on fixing up and boosting America’s iconic landmarks.

According to CNN, that cash will fuel the building of a brand-new White House State Ballroom, turning a vision into reality on hallowed ground. It’s a fitting tribute to Trump’s enduring legacy, channeling tech dollars back into the heart of the nation.

The leftover $2.5 million from the settlement gets split among other folks in the fight, including the American Conservative Union, per The Wall Street Journal.

YouTube, under Google’s Alphabet umbrella, yanked Trump’s channel claiming he broke rules on stirring up violence during his last days in office. But fast-forward two years, and they brought it back online—making them the last holdout among the social media giants to face the music in court.

Trump didn’t stop at YouTube; he took on the whole cartel. Meta, the parent of Facebook and Instagram, coughed up $25 million back in January to end their own legal battle.

Most of that Meta money poured into Trump’s upcoming presidential library down in Miami, Florida—a beacon for future generations to remember his America First agenda.

Then there’s X, the platform once called Twitter, which settled for $10 million in February. Elon Musk, a Trump supporter, snapped it up in 2022 and wasted no time reinstating the president’s account that same year.

Meta dragged their feet longer, only letting Trump back on in February 2023. But in the end, justice caught up, thanks to relentless pressure.

Behind all these courtroom triumphs stands Trump lawyer John Coale, who masterminded the cases against these tech titans. He didn’t mince words on why they folded so fast.

“If he had not been re-elected, we would have been in court for 1,000 years,” Coale said, per the Wall Street Journal. “It was his re-election that made the difference.”

That’s the power of the ballot box—Trump’s landslide return to the White House shifted the ground under Big Tech’s feet, forcing them to pay up instead of dragging things out forever.

This isn’t just about money; it’s a message that conservatives won’t roll over when elites try to muzzle dissent. Trump’s victories here expose the bias baked into these platforms.

Meanwhile, Trump’s been building bridges in Silicon Valley during his latest campaign and now in his second term.

Key players like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg and Alphabet’s Sundar Pichai showed up front and center at his inauguration, rubbing elbows with Musk.

It’s a sign that even the tech moguls are starting to get it—America’s back under strong leadership, and they’re wise to align rather than fight the tide. These settlements mark a turning point, putting real consequences on censorship and funneling resources back to patriotic causes.

China throws down the gauntlet to Donald Trump and things aren’t going to be pretty

China throws down the gauntlet to Donald Trump and things aren’t going to be pretty

America and China have been waging a silent war for decades. The communist regime considers us its number one enemy.

Now China threw down the gauntlet to Donald Trump and things aren’t going to be pretty.

Imagine trying to win back your old family home after handing over the keys to a rough crowd – that’s the uphill battle President Donald Trump is facing with his recent push to reclaim Bagram Airfield from the Taliban in Afghanistan. Four years after the chaotic U.S. pullout left this strategic gem in terrorist hands, Trump dropped the bombshell that America is “trying” to get it back, but experts like Bill Roggio warn that China is lurking in the wings, ready to slam the door shut on any such deal.

The Taliban’s Ironclad Hold on America’s Former Stronghold

Picture this: Bagram, that massive airbase just 30 miles north of Kabul, was once the nerve center for U.S. operations in Afghanistan – a sprawling hub with runways long enough for bombers and enough space to house thousands of troops.

Trump insists his 2020 Doha deal with the Taliban never meant to surrender it outright. “We were going to keep it,” he told reporters during a U.K. visit last week, blaming the Biden crew for the full handover that left it “for nothing.”

But here’s the cold reality: The Taliban isn’t budging. As Roggio, the sharp-eyed senior editor at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ Long War Journal, put it bluntly, “First of all, the Taliban will never accept the return to the US. I’d sooner…believe the Taliban would give up on its Sharia or Islamic law before I’d believe that it would let the U.S. return.”

Even if cooler heads prevailed and talks somehow started, Roggio doubts the militants would ever warm to the idea of American boots back on their turf.

From a conservative standpoint, it’s infuriating – we built it, bled for it, and now it’s a symbol of how weakness emboldens our enemies. Trump’s eyeing it not just for nostalgia, but for its prime spot overlooking potential threats, like that supposed Chinese nuclear site “an hour away.” (Though open-source intel hasn’t pinned down any such facility that close, and neither the White House nor Pentagon would spill the beans.)

China’s Quiet Power Play in a Terror-Riddled Backyard

Now, enter the real roadblock: Beijing, with its deep pockets and deeper ambitions. Since the U.S. hightailed it out, Afghanistan’s treasure trove of minerals – lithium for batteries, copper for wires, gold for bling, uranium for… well, you get it – has become China’s playground. They’re the first to slap an ambassador in Kabul back in 2023, and just last August, Foreign Minister Wang Yi jetted in for chummy chats with Taliban bigwig Amir Khan Muttaqi.

The Taliban spilled that China was all in on mining deals and ramping up trade, a lifeline for their cash-strapped regime teetering on economic collapse. Roggio doesn’t mince words: “The Chinese just wield significant influence with the Taliban, particularly when it comes to something like the U.S. return.” If Uncle Sam knocks, expect Beijing to whisper sweet nothings – or threats – in the Taliban’s ear, maybe yanking those lucrative mining rights or dialing back diplomatic nods.

“They would pressure the Taliban by possibly canceling those mining rights, by restricting trade, by ending political and diplomatic recognition. These are all things that are important to the Taliban as they try to develop as a government and try to become legitimately recognized.”

It’s no secret China and Russia want America sidelined, free to weave their Belt and Road web through this mineral-rich mess of a country. For conservatives who see the world through a lens of realpolitik, this is exhibit A of how our retreat handed our rivals a golden ticket – literally.

A Ticking Terror Time Bomb We Can’t Ignore

But the real gut punch? Those billions from Chinese mining deals could flood Taliban coffers, supercharging the very jihadists who sheltered al Qaeda pre-9/11. Roggio paints a grim picture: “Why is this important? Because al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are using Afghanistan as a base of operations,” with training camps popping up in 13 of the country’s 34 provinces. The Taliban? They’re rolling out the red carpet – religious schools for recruits, safe houses for al Qaeda brass shuttling to Iran, even weapons depots stocked and ready.

“The growing Taliban-Chinese relationship is something we should worry about. The Chinese can give the Taliban access to technology – military technology,” Roggio cautioned. “They could give them the resources that they need.” And the kicker: “Afghanistan looks actually far worse today than it looked on Sept. 10, 2001, the day before the 9/11 attacks.”

Trump’s gambit feels like a much-needed gut check for a nation weary of endless wars but allergic to the alternative: a terrorist haven bankrolled by our top adversary. Whether it’s feasible or not, it’s a reminder that strength projects power – and right now, we’re playing catch-up in a game where the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Trump deploys the military to another war-torn Democrat city

America needs to stick up for itself. We can’t allow our own citizens to live in fear.

That’s why Trump deployed the military to another war-torn Democrat city.

Escalating Siege in Portland: Trump Mobilizes Troops Against Antifa Onslaught

In a decisive response to the relentless barrage of violence plaguing federal facilities, President Trump announced Saturday that he is deploying “all necessary” troops to Portland, Oregon, to restore order and shield Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel from what he described as a coordinated assault by Antifa and other domestic terrorists.

Trump’s Truth Social post laid bare the gravity of the situation, invoking the support of key administration figures to justify the military intervention.

“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” the president declared. “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”

This escalation follows a grim tally of assaults documented by the Department of Homeland Security, including rioters blinding ICE officers with laser beams, hurling smoke grenades, and sabotaging equipment at the Portland facility. Local officials have urged protesters to de-escalate, but the pleas have fallen on deaf ears as the attacks persist, prompting an intensified federal footprint.

Trump’s broader crackdown extends beyond Portland, mirroring recent National Guard activations in Washington, D.C., Memphis, and a short-term deployment to Los Angeles earlier this year to quell rioting and curb urban crime. In a nation weary of unchecked anarchy, these measures affirm that federal authority will not yield to mob rule.

Justice Strikes Back: Bondi and Miller Vow Ruthless Prosecution of Terrorists

Attorney General Pam Bondi wasted no time amplifying the administration’s resolve, announcing Friday that the Justice Department is surging agents to ICE sites nationwide and unleashing Joint Terrorism Task Forces to dismantle the networks behind these outrages.

“I have witnessed the continued onslaught of violence perpetrated against ICE officers across our country,” Bondi posted on X. “The Department of Justice will not stand idly by in the face of such lawlessness. The rule of law will prevail.”

Bondi’s directive demands the “most serious available charges against all participants in these criminal mobs,” a direct counterpunch to incidents like Friday’s grand jury indictment of three women for doxxing an ICE agent by tailing her home and broadcasting the address on Instagram.

Just days prior, a deranged sniper unleashed hell on a Texas ICE facility, wounding at least three migrants with bullets etched with “anti ICE” scrawls—a chilling emblem of the hatred now targeting those upholding border security.

White House policy chief Stephen Miller, a steadfast guardian of immigration enforcement, praised the offensive as a turning point.

“This campaign of terrorism will be brought down,” he asserted Friday, later adding, “We are witnessing domestic terrorist sedition against the federal government. All necessary resources will be utilized.”

As the sun sets on another day of defiance in Portland, Trump’s troop surge arrives not a moment too soon, a beacon of resolve in the fight to reclaim America’s streets from those who would tear them apart. The message is unmistakable: the era of impunity for Antifa’s thuggery ends now, with the full weight of the law—and if needed, the military—poised to ensure it.

Whoopi Goldberg went on The View and completely lost her mind

The View isn’t exactly the pinnacle of political discourse. But this is out there even for them.

Because Whoopi Goldberg went on The View and completely lost her mind.

Whoopi Goldberg’s Comments on Trump’s UN Speech Spark Debate

During a Wednesday episode of “The View,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg criticized President Trump’s recent United Nations General Assembly speech, describing it as “not presidential” and “unhelpful.”

Goldberg expressed concern about Trump’s leadership, stating that other world leaders are “really concerned for” the United States. She suggested that the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president deemed unable to fulfill their duties, could be invoked, drawing a comparison to former President Biden. “If Biden had acted like this I would have said, ‘Yeah take him,’” Goldberg remarked.

Her comments ignited significant backlash on social media, with many users defending Trump and questioning her consistency regarding Biden’s tenure.

Fellow co-host Sonny Hostin echoed Goldberg’s sentiments, alleging that Trump misrepresented his administration’s foreign policy achievements, specifically his claim of ending seven global conflicts, in pursuit of a Nobel Peace Prize. The discussion on “The View” highlighted broader divisions over Trump’s approach to international diplomacy and his public statements at the UN.

Trump’s UN Address: Themes and Technical Issues

On Tuesday, President Trump delivered a speech at the UN General Assembly that addressed contentious global issues while confronting technical difficulties.

He questioned the effectiveness of the UN, accusing it of promoting “empty words” and enabling “an assault on Western countries” through unchecked mass migration. Trump emphasized the need to end “the failed experiment of open borders,” urging immediate action.

His remarks included a stark warning to world leaders, stating, “your countries are going to hell,” which contributed to a tense atmosphere in the chamber.

The speech was disrupted by a teleprompter malfunction, forcing Trump to improvise parts of his address. He acknowledged the issue humorously, noting that those responsible for the teleprompter would be in “big trouble,” which elicited laughter from the audience.

Trump also referenced an escalator breakdown that affected him and First Lady Melania Trump, later quipping, “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.” Goldberg, however, suggested that the audience’s laughter was directed at Trump rather than in response to his lighthearted remarks.

Social Media Response and Broader Context

The reaction to Goldberg’s comments was swift on platforms like X, where users criticized her for what they perceived as selective outrage. One post highlighted her silence during “the dementia years of 2021 – 2025,” referring to Biden’s presidency.

Another user argued that the 25th Amendment is unrelated to policy disagreements and questioned why Goldberg did not raise similar concerns about Biden’s mental capacity. These responses reflect ongoing partisan tensions surrounding Trump’s leadership style and public appearances.

Trump’s UN speech, with its focus on border security and criticism of international institutions, aligns with his administration’s broader policy priorities. The technical glitches during the address added an unintended layer of attention, amplifying discussions about his performance.

Gavin Newsom made a 2028 election announcement that is turning heads

Many have speculated about what 2028 will bring. But one man is certain in his mind.

And now Gavin Newsom made a 2028 election announcement that is turning heads.

Newsom’s Election Conspiracy Stokes Fear

California Governor Gavin Newsom took to “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” Tuesday to peddle a baseless claim that President Donald Trump is scheming to cancel the 2028 presidential election to remain in power.

In a melodramatic plea, Newsom warned that Trump is not only rigging next year’s midterms but could derail the next White House race entirely.

“I really mean that in the core of my soul,” he told Colbert, urging a “code red” awakening to this supposed crisis. Such alarmist rhetoric, devoid of evidence, only fuels division and distracts from Newsom’s own leadership failures in California.

Democrats’ Defeat and Newsom’s Deflection

Newsom’s appearance laid bare the Democratic Party’s disarray after their 2024 election drubbing.

“As a Democratic Party, we have a lot of work to do to make up for our failures in the past. We got crushed in this last election, and now we are in a position where we are struggling to communicate, we’re struggling to win back now the majority in the House of Representatives,” he admitted.

Rather than own the party’s inability to connect with voters, Newsom pointed fingers at Trump, whining that “facts don’t seem to matter” and decrying a “weakness that dominates our brand.”

His scapegoating of Trump conveniently sidesteps California’s own woes—skyrocketing costs, crime, and homelessness—under his watch.

Newsom’s Hollow Posturing and Legal Stunts

While touting 41 lawsuits against Trump as proof of “winning” pushback, Newsom’s saber-rattling reeks of political theater.

“We’re pushing back, and we’re winning,” he bragged, yet his legal crusades often seem more about headlines than substance.

Newsom also claimed to champion civility, citing interviews with conservative figures like the late Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.

“I think it’s important to have those civil engagements. I think it’s important to dialogue. It’s important to learn from your opponents, and it’s important to reconcile your weaknesses,” he said. But this posturing rings hollow when paired with his inflammatory election-rigging accusations, which undermine the very dialogue he claims to value and paint a desperate picture of a governor clinging to relevance.

Senator Flores’ DUI Arrest in Las Vegas

On September 12, 2025, Nevada State Senator Edgar Flores, a 39-year-old Democrat from the 2nd District, was arrested for suspected driving under the influence (DUI) in Northeast Las Vegas.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police body camera footage captured Flores unresponsive at a traffic light near Lamb and Lake Mead boulevards around 3 a.m., slumped over in his Jeep Wrangler with the vehicle in drive and his foot on the brake. Officers attempted to wake him by flashing lights and trying to open the driver’s door before knocking on the window, startling him awake.

Flores, appearing disoriented, stated he had been playing soccer at Sunset Park and was driving home but struggled to recall his address. When questioned about alcohol, he admitted to consuming “one beer” around midnight.

After failing field sobriety tests, he was arrested and booked into the Clark County Detention Center on a misdemeanor DUI charge. Released without bail after a blood draw, as allowed under Nevada law, Flores faces a status hearing on January 12, 2026.

Discrepancies in Impairment Claims

Flores’ campaign issued a statement on X, asserting he was stopped after a demanding day of work, community events, exercise, and a late dinner, claiming he was fatigued but not impaired.

They stated he cooperated fully, agreeing to a breathalyzer and blood test, with the breath test allegedly showing a 0.00 blood alcohol content (BAC), and expressed confidence that the pending blood test results, expected in approximately 90 days, would confirm this.

However, police reported that Flores refused a preliminary breath test at the scene, and his observed signs of impairment—slurred speech, droopy eyes, and difficulty balancing during sobriety tests—prompted his arrest.

Flores’ team acknowledged the officers’ commitment to public safety but indicated they are reviewing whether his rights and privacy were respected, highlighting a conflict between the police account and the senator’s claims as the investigation awaits toxicology results.

Importance of Accountability for Public Figures

The arrest of Senator Flores underscores the necessity of holding elected officials accountable to the same legal standards as the public, particularly when their actions could endanger others.

The police’s thorough response—conducting comprehensive sobriety tests upon recognizing Flores’ status as a senator—reflects a commitment to impartial law enforcement.

While Flores maintains he was merely tired, the documented signs of impairment and his failure to pass field tests justify the officers’ actions and the ongoing investigation.

This case just goes to show the importance of ensuring public officials face scrutiny for potentially hazardous behavior, with the forthcoming toxicology results critical to determining whether alcohol or other substances contributed to his condition, reinforcing the need for transparency and accountability in maintaining public trust.

Labor Department turns off the tap on immigration fraud with one consequential decision

It isn’t just ICE who prevents illegal immigration. It’s a team effort.

And now the Labor Department turned off the tap on immigration fraud with one consequential decision.

Trump Administration Rolls Out H-1B Reforms to Prioritize American Workers

The Department of Labor announced Friday the launch of Project Firewall, a targeted enforcement effort aimed at curbing misuse of the H-1B visa program and ensuring employers prioritize qualified U.S. hires for high-skilled positions.

This initiative aligns directly with President Donald Trump’s proclamation signed the same day, which imposes stricter controls on foreign worker entries to address perceived abuses that displace American talent. The combined measures seek to restore balance in the labor market, where critics have long pointed to outsourcing firms securing thousands of visas while laying off domestic staff—for instance, one firm approved for over 5,000 H-1B workers in fiscal 2025 amid 16,000 U.S. job cuts.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, in a department press release, outlined the program’s focus on compliance, stating, “The Trump Administration is standing by our commitment to end practices that leave Americans in the dust. As we reestablish economic dominance, we must protect our most valuable resource: the American worker.

Launching Project Firewall will help us ensure no employers are abusing H-1B visas at the expense of our workforce.” She added, “By rooting out fraud and abuse, the Department of Labor and our federal partners will ensure that highly skilled jobs go to Americans first.” The effort builds on Trump’s broader agenda to reform immigration pathways that support economic growth without undermining local employment.

Details of Trump’s Proclamation Target Program Abuses

Titled “Restriction on Entry of Certain Nonimmigrant Workers,” the presidential proclamation takes effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time on September 21, 2025, and lasts for 12 months unless extended.

It directs federal agencies to reduce fraud by excluding foreign workers from entry-level roles essential for U.S. graduates and requires a one-time $100,000 payment per new H-1B petition submitted after the effective date. This fee applies only to new applicants outside the U.S. participating in future lotteries, sparing current visa holders and renewals to avoid disrupting ongoing operations.

The order highlights exploitation in the program, originally designed for additive high-skilled roles but now criticized for replacing Americans with lower-wage imports, particularly in IT where H-1B holders comprise over 65% of the workforce.

Agencies including the Departments of State, Labor, and Homeland Security must coordinate implementation, with the Labor Secretary tasked to revise prevailing wage rules and Homeland Security to prioritize higher-paid applicants. Tech firms like Amazon and Microsoft, major H-1B users, have advised affected employees to stay stateside amid initial confusion, though officials clarified no retroactive impacts.

Project Firewall Empowers DOL Investigations and Penalties

Under Project Firewall, DOL investigators will scrutinize employers for H-1B compliance, a process Chavez-DeRemer will personally certify for the first time in department history, invoking authority for cases showing reasonable cause of violations.

This hands-on oversight aims to deter practices like underpaying workers or bypassing U.S. hires, with penalties including back wages recovery, civil fines, and temporary bans from the program. The department also plans interagency coordination to address discrimination against Americans, leveraging federal resources for enforcement.

While the initiative does not bar foreign talent outright, it enforces statutory requirements that H-1B roles offer wages and benefits comparable to U.S. workers, potentially reshaping hiring in sectors like technology and engineering where India receives about 71% of approvals.

As the program rolls out, it could generate significant revenue—potentially billions annually—while prompting employers to invest more in domestic training, though some industry voices warn of talent shortages if reforms prove overly stringent.

Another possible Leftist shooter just rocked America to its core

Political violence is getting more common. And there’s no signs it’s going to stop.

Now another possible Leftist shooter just rocked America to its core.

Shots Fired: A Left-Wing Activist’s Attack on Free Speech

In a chilling escalation that’s got everyone talking, 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez-Santana—a former legislative director for the California Federation of Teachers—has been arrested for unleashing a barrage of gunfire at an ABC News affiliate in Sacramento, California.

This wasn’t some random outburst; it came hot on the heels of the network’s move to yank Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after his inflammatory lies about the assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk. Hernandez-Santana, whose social media is a nonstop tirade of anti-Trump venom, faces serious charges: assault with a deadly weapon, negligent discharge of a firearm, and shooting into an occupied building. Thank goodness no one was hurt, but it’s a stark reminder of how heated rhetoric can turn deadly—especially when it bubbles up from the far left.

The suspect’s online footprint paints a picture of someone marinating in radical fury. Back in July, he allegedly posted: “The authoritarian oligarchy is now complete. CBS+ caving, big law firms in DC, the subservients FBI and AG, university presidents stepping down, fan boys SCOTUS, public radio, ICE goons. We are going to have to ‘fight like hell’. Rules don’t apply if election was stolen. FIGHT!”

It’s the kind of unhinged call to arms that echoes the dangerous echo chambers fueling a surge in left-wing aggression. Conservative voices on X nailed it: “The man suspected of firing 3 shots into the window of an ABC affiliate in California after the Kimmel decision is a former teacher’s union legislative director whose X feed is full of far-left rhetoric encouraging escalation.” As investigations deepen, this incident feels like just another thread in a troubling tapestry of political violence that’s increasingly skewed toward the radical left.

Kimmel’s Blunder and the Network’s Wake-Up Call

The trigger? ABC’s Wednesday decision to bench Kimmel’s show indefinitely after he peddled falsehoods on air about Kirk’s tragic death. The 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder was gunned down on September 10, 2025, in a brazen assassination that’s still under scrutiny, with the suspect claiming Kirk “spreads too much hate.”

Kimmel, never one to shy from controversy, smeared the killer as part of the “MAGA gang” and took a cheap shot at President Trump’s heartfelt response.

“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel sneered, twisting facts to fit his narrative.

Nexstar’s broadcasting chief, Andrew Alford, didn’t mince words in pulling the plug: “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located.”

He added, “Continuing to give Mr. Kimmel a broadcast platform in the communities we serve is simply not in the public interest at the current time, and we have made the difficult decision to preempt his show in an effort to let cooler heads prevail as we move toward the resumption of respectful, constructive dialogue.” It’s a rare moment of accountability from the media elite, but one that sparked protests—and apparently, this violent backlash—outside the Sacramento station the very next day.

The Growing Shadow of Left-Wing Rage

This Sacramento shooting isn’t an isolated flare-up; it’s a glaring symptom of the rising tide of political violence from the left that’s gripping America in 2025.

Just look at the numbers: since January 2020, left-wing extremists have accounted for 22% of the 79 murders in politically motivated attacks on U.S. soil—a sharp uptick that’s outpacing earlier years.

And it’s not just talk; threats and harassment against public officials spiked 9% in the first half of this year alone, with over 250 incidents across 40 states. We’ve seen Minnesota Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband cut down in cold blood, an arson blaze at Pennsylvania’s governor’s mansion, and now this drive-by at a news station—all threads in a pattern where far-left fury boils over into action.

President Trump, who’s stared down his own share of threats, has been sounding the alarm: the radical left’s nonstop demonization of patriots like Kirk is lighting fuses across the country. While the mainstream loves to harp on right-wing risks, the data whispers a different story in recent months—leftist acts are less frequent but hitting symbolic targets like media outlets and officials with ruthless precision. Hernandez-Santana’s union background and “fight like hell” screeds? Straight out of the playbook that’s turned frustration into firepower.

As the FBI steps in—re-arresting him on federal charges for messing with licensed communications—it’s clear this isn’t just a local headache. It’s a national wake-up call: if we don’t dial back the hate from the left, these “fights” could tear us apart. Trump’s right—time to put the brakes on this madness before it claims more lives.
