Americans are waiting with bated breath. This could change everything.

Because the FBI made an earth shattering arrest with major consequences for the election results.

In a troubling sign of the increasing dangers surrounding U.S. elections, FBI agents have recently arrested two individuals in Michigan for making election-related threats, as reported by The Detroit News.

One of the suspects, Isaac Sissel, was allegedly involved in an assassination plot targeting former President Donald Trump.

According to authorities, Sissel posted on Reddit using the disturbing handle “ShootUpTrumpRally,” later telling investigators he believed “everything would be better if Trump was dead.”

In a separate case unsealed on Tuesday, Christopher Clay Pierce, a 46-year-old from Jackson, Michigan, faces charges for making repeated threats against a Democratic-aligned political action committee (PAC) over the past two years.

Despite prior warnings from the FBI, Pierce allegedly continued his online harassment of the PAC, seemingly undeterred by potential legal consequences.

The FBI has also sounded alarms about a wave of fake videos circulating online, attempting to manipulate the public’s trust in the election process.

Two misleading videos released this week falsely advised Americans to “vote remotely” due to an alleged terrorist threat at polling stations and hinted at fabricated voter fraud in prisons across key swing states.

These videos, designed to appear like an FBI press release and a report by CBS News, did not gain widespread views on X.

However, the FBI confirmed they were created to “undermine our democratic process and erode trust in the electoral system.”

CBS News further clarified on X that the video falsely bearing its logo was “fabricated.”

BBC Verify has linked these clips to a Russia-based disinformation network responsible for hundreds of similar fakes in recent months, suggesting a larger, coordinated effort to fuel division and distrust during election season.

Adding to the chaotic landscape, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed bomb threats made against multiple polling locations this morning, although they were ultimately deemed non-credible.

Nonetheless, the cumulative effect of these threats, disinformation campaigns, and violent plots sends a stark message: the 2024 election cycle has shaped up to be more volatile and dangerous than ever before, testing the resilience of America’s democratic institutions.

America is in an uproar. We can’t even vote in peace.

Because a sudden missile attack on election night puts the Pentagon on high alert.

On Tuesday, North Korea fired a series of short-range ballistic missiles into the sea, intensifying its displays of force just before the U.S. presidential election. Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani reported that at least seven missiles flew up to 400 kilometers (250 miles) with an altitude reaching 100 kilometers (60 miles), landing in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.

“North Korea’s actions, including a series of repeated missile launches, threaten the peace and safety of Japan, the region and the international community,” Nakatani said, as both Japan and South Korea ramped up their defenses and surveillance in response.

This missile barrage comes days after Kim Jong Un oversaw the launch of a new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), capable of reaching the U.S. mainland.

In response, the U.S. deployed a long-range B-1B bomber over the region in joint drills with South Korea and Japan on Sunday, sparking backlash from Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong.

She accused the U.S. and its allies of “aggressive and adventuristic military threats.”

With the U.S. election on the horizon, South Korean officials speculate that North Korea may be escalating its military activity to capture Washington’s attention.

There are signs that Kim is readying for a potential seventh nuclear test, hoping to leverage an expanded arsenal for concessions, like sanctions relief, after the election.

Analysts believe Kim might prefer a Republican victory, particularly a Trump win, due to the high-stakes diplomacy he shared with Trump in 2018-2019, which he views as more promising than the stance of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, who has criticized Trump’s past outreach to “tyrants and dictators.”

North Korea claims its recent Hwasong-19 ICBM is “the world’s strongest,” though experts note the massive solid-fuel missile faces technical hurdles, particularly in surviving atmospheric re-entry.

Beyond the Koreas, North Korea’s role in Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine is also drawing scrutiny. U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller reported on Monday that approximately 10,000 North Korean soldiers are stationed in Russia’s Kursk region near Ukraine’s border, preparing to join the conflict.

If confirmed, this would mark North Korea’s largest military engagement since the Korean War.

In Seoul on Monday, senior officials from South Korea and the European Union voiced concerns over a potential technology exchange between Russia and North Korea that could enhance Kim’s nuclear program in exchange for troop support.

They warned such transfers could “jeopardize international non-proliferation efforts and threaten peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and across the globe.”

The response to North Korea’s expanding arsenal has been an increase in joint military exercises between the U.S., South Korea, and Japan. North Korea decries these drills as preparation for an invasion, using them to justify its nuclear ambitions.

At the U.N. Security Council meeting Monday, North Korean Ambassador Kim Song defended his country’s nuclear and ICBM programs, arguing they are a defensive response to perceived nuclear threats from the U.S.

U.S. Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood made clear that America could not ignore North Korea’s growing nuclear capabilities, which pose a direct threat to U.S. security.

He also pressed Russia to address whether North Korean troops are operating in Russia. Russian Deputy Ambassador Anna Evstigneeva, however, dismissed the question, stating, “We’re not in a court here,” signaling an unwillingness to respond.

This election could be close. But this may shift the scales.

And now Trump got handed a report in the final hour that could put away this election.

On Saturday, leaders from Minnesota’s sizable Somali-American community gathered at the State Capitol to rally behind Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The event showcased a surprising surge of support from a community not often associated with conservative politics.

“We are gathered today with community leaders, business leaders, and youth leaders from the Somali community and from the Muslim community in Minnesota … to fully support and endorse President Trump and JD Vance,” one speaker announced at the rally, as captured in a video by Alpha News.

He highlighted that “some of the key issues of the community are the global wars – and we’re for peace – economic issues, family values, and education.”

Multiple imams also spoke, emphasizing Trump’s growing support among Somali and Muslim Americans. One imam particularly praised Trump’s plan “to make America great and safe.”

Minnesota Somali-American Republican activist Mohamed Ahmed took the stage to deliver a powerful critique of the American left, which quickly gained traction on social media. “I love Trump,” Ahmed declared. “And the reason why is because he’s a fighter. That’s it. We like fighters.”

He went on to explain, “More importantly, the left left us. They left us. Thirty-three percent of our kids in third grade cannot read at grade level.” Ahmed noted that Minnesota, once a top state in education, recently slipped to 19th in national rankings.

“We talk about economic conditions here,” he continued. “Our condition is horrible. We can’t afford anything, as working-class and middle-class people.”

Expressing a deep frustration with the Democratic Party, he said, “We love our brothers and sisters who are Democrats but you left us. And because the left left us, join the right. Vote for Trump.”

Ahmed also encouraged the audience to support Republican candidates in congressional races. As founder and outreach director of Republican People of Color PAC, Ahmed’s message carried weight within the community.

Writer Walter Kirn shared the viral clip of Ahmed’s speech on X (formerly Twitter), describing it as validation of his own outlook for this election.

“Immigrants w/ a toe-hold in America & the urban working poor looking for a leg up have lost faith in the Ds,” he wrote.

Kirn argued that issues like crime, education, and economic opportunity are hitting these communities the hardest, adding that Democratic efforts on civil rights fail to address the real needs of people trying to advance in America.

“They don’t mainly seek advancement in the parallel economy of non-profit orgs and gov’t work. They want to start businesses & own rental units etc.,” Kirn continued, noting that “wokeness” doesn’t resonate with immigrants from traditional societies or with the working class.

He described it as an “ideological luxury” that these communities “can’t afford to indulge.”

Business owner and former state legislative candidate Salman Fiqy, a prominent organizer of the rally, introduced the speakers while wearing a “Trump Force Captain” hat.

Fiqy, a former Democrat, explained to Alpha News in August that the Somali community’s support for Trump is “a long conclusion that we arrived to,” citing critical issues like education, economy, and safety.

“Also coming from a Muslim faith, we tend to be very conservative people and some of the issues we cannot really turn a blind eye to,” Fiqy added.

Minnesota is home to around 87,000 people of Somali descent, and while traditionally a Democratic stronghold, the state may hold surprises in this election cycle.

With Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate, as the current governor, Minnesota has not been considered one of the key battleground states.

However, some analysts believe Trump has an outside chance of flipping the state and its 10 electoral votes.

According to Polymarket on Saturday night, Trump has a 9% chance of winning Minnesota, which has held the longest streak of voting Democratic since 1972.

Today is the day. And every side is making their move.

And now the Trump campaign made a huge last minute announcement that could change everything.

With Election Day just days away, Donald Trump’s campaign is firing back against recent polling, calling out the media’s efforts to dampen enthusiasm among his supporters by pushing unfavorable numbers.

The latest Des Moines Register poll, released Saturday, shows a slight edge for Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris, with 47 percent of likely voters saying they would choose her if the election were held today, compared to 44 percent for Trump.

However, this falls within the poll’s margin of error of ±3.4 percent, keeping the race very much in play.

The survey, conducted by Selzer & Co., sampled 808 likely voters in Iowa who have either already voted or are committed to voting.

Meanwhile, the final Siena College/New York Times poll indicates a mixed picture across key battleground states, with Trump leading Harris in just one state.

Harris is reportedly ahead in Nevada, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Georgia, while the two candidates are tied in Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Trump holds a lead in Arizona. The poll surveyed 7,878 likely voters across these seven states between October 24 and November 2, with a margin of error of ±3.5 points.

Notably, Harris seems to have gained momentum in Nevada, Georgia, and North Carolina since the last round of polling from NYT/Siena, where Trump had previously held a slight lead.

However, Trump’s campaign is quick to dismiss these results, pointing out the tactics used to depress voter turnout among his base.

In a memo released Sunday, Trump’s campaign accused certain media outlets of using polling data to stifle excitement among his supporters.

“On Saturday, top Democrats appear to have received early access to an absurd outlier poll of Iowa conducted by the Des Moines Register. Not to be outdone, the New York Times arrived right on cue with another set of polling data being used to drive a voter suppression narrative against President Trump’s supporters. Some in the media are choosing to amplify a mad dash to dampen and diminish voter enthusiasm. It has not worked. Our voters are like President Trump: they fight,” the memo reads.

The campaign also took aim at The New York Times, claiming that its polls portray an electorate far to the left of reality.

“The New York Times is polling an electorate that looks far to the left of 2020, despite hard facts of voter registration and early voting indicate a current electorate that has shifted only to the right in every state,” the campaign said.

Ann Selzer, president of Pollster Selzer & Company, defended her methodology, which has accurately predicted Trump’s support in Iowa in previous elections.

“These are the kinds of comments seen for virtually any poll, including mine,” Selzer remarked. “It would not be in my best interest, or that of my clients—The Des Moines Register and Mediacom—to conjure fake numbers.”

Despite media narratives and selective polling, Trump’s support in Iowa has only grown since he first won the state in 2016, boosting his share from 51.15 percent in 2016 to 53.09 percent in 2020.

Iowa’s track record includes support for both Obama and George W. Bush, reflecting its status as a true swing state.

As the tight race heads into its final stretch, all eyes are on these swing states.

Both candidates are ramping up efforts to secure last-minute support, with recent 538 tracker data showing Harris with a narrow 1-point lead over Trump, 47.9 percent to 46.9 percent.

Americans are waiting with bated breath. Who knows how this will all shake out.

And now the Left overlooked one shift that could hand Donald Trump a landslide.

Pollsters may be overlooking a “massive shift” in voter registration that’s taken place since the last election—one that could swing the 2024 presidential race toward former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, according to veteran GOP strategist Alex Castellanos.

Castellanos, a seasoned political expert with experience on campaigns for Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney, told Fox News’ “Special Report” that the razor-thin margin shown in current polls between Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is failing to account for a surge in Republican enthusiasm.

“What I think they’re missing is a massive shift in voter registration underneath all of this. Thirty-one states have voter registration by party. Thirty of them in the past four years have seen movement toward Republicans,” Castellanos observed Sunday night.

He went on to emphasize this rise in GOP registrations, describing it as a “wavelet out there of Republican enthusiasm.”

As he put it, “If I register to vote Republican, whether I’m switching or new, what am I going to do?”

Castellanos suggests this spike in Republican registrations may explain why polls aren’t showing much variation, even as Election Day draws closer.

“I think the pollsters are getting this wrong. We’re all missing something, because they’re giving us the same poll over and over again. There isn’t even statistical variation,” Castellanos pointed out, adding:

“It’s like they’re telling us we’re watching a basketball game where every play’s a jump ball.”

This comes just after new polls released over the weekend reveal a virtual deadlock in six out of seven key battleground states.

Arizona, however, stands out with Trump leading Harris by four points, 49% to 45%.

The final swing state polling from the New York Times and Siena College shows Trump and Harris tied in Pennsylvania (48% each) and Michigan (47% each).

Harris holds a slim lead within the margin of error in Nevada (49% to 46%), North Carolina (48% to 46%), Wisconsin (49% to 47%), and Georgia (48% to 47%).

Meanwhile, prominent analysts like polling guru Nate Silver are also beginning to question recent polling trends, suggesting that some pollsters may be “herding” their results, trying to show a closer race to avoid standing out as outliers.

With the enthusiasm gap shifting toward Trump and questions swirling around poll reliability, this election could defy expectations on Tuesday.

Hopefully, we’ll know who wins sooner than in 2020.

But that has yet to be seen.

Democrats don’t know what to do when they’re confronted. All they can do is hurl names and lies.

And now a Washington Post interview went awry after this conservative brought the boom.

Longtime Washington Post columnist Hugh Hewitt resigned from the newspaper on Friday, he confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Hewitt, a conservative voice and nationally syndicated radio host, joined the Post as a contributing columnist in 2017 and has since published hundreds of articles.

“I have in fact quit the Post, but I was only writing a column for them every six weeks or so,” Hewitt told Fox News Digital, adding that he had recently offered to write another pro-Trump column before the upcoming election. He informed editorial page editor David Shipley of his departure Friday morning.

Hewitt’s last column, published on Tuesday, urged the MAGA movement to adapt if Trump were to secure a second term. As a rare pro-Trump contributor at the liberal-leaning outlet, Hewitt’s pieces spanned a broad spectrum of topics.

Hewitt’s exit followed a viral moment earlier that day when he walked off the Washington Post’s online show, First Look, alongside liberal columnists Jonathan Capehart and Ruth Marcus on the “Washington Post Live” platform. The debate turned tense as they discussed Trump’s rhetoric on election integrity.

During the segment, Capehart asked Marcus, “Does it seem like Donald Trump is laying the groundwork for contesting the election by complaining that cheating was taking place in Pennsylvania?” and highlighted Trump’s lawsuit against Bucks County for alleged irregularities.

Marcus remarked that Trump had been “preparing to blame an election loss on cheating for months.”

As she elaborated, Hewitt tried to interject, but Capehart curtly instructed, “Let Ruth finish, Hugh.”

Hewitt responded, “Well, I’ve just got to say, we’re news people, even though it’s the opinion section. It’s got to be reported. Bucks County was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home… That lawsuit was brought by the Republican National Committee, and it was successful.”

He added, “We are news people, even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of the story. So, yes, he’s upset about Bucks County, but he was right, and he won in court.”

After a pause, Capehart retorted, “I don’t appreciate being lectured about reporting when, Hugh, many times, you’ve come here saying lots of things that aren’t based in fact.”

Hewitt then stood up and declared, “I won’t come back, Jonathan. I’m done… This is the most unfair election ad I’ve ever been a part of. You guys are working. That’s fine. I’m done,” before leaving abruptly.

Capehart moved back to Marcus, but as she spoke about her column on democracy and decency, Marcus’s screen froze, leading to technical issues that derailed the broadcast.

The Washington Post did not comment directly on Hewitt’s departure, but a spokesperson stated that “as the newsroom’s live journalism platform, ‘Washington Post Live’ is known for its dynamic conversations and thought-provoking perspectives.”

Hewitt’s resignation comes amid a broader shake-up following a directive by Post owner Jeff Bezos not to endorse a presidential candidate this cycle. This decision, aimed at regaining trust among readers wary of media bias, sparked internal controversy, resignations, and a wave of subscription cancellations.

The Post, which hasn’t endorsed a Republican presidential candidate since 1976, had reportedly planned to endorse Kamala Harris before Bezos intervened. Bezos had also advocated for expanding the number of conservative voices on the opinion pages, making Hewitt’s departure a setback for that goal.

Though not a regular columnist, Hewitt’s output at the Post decreased sharply this year; he wrote only seven pieces in 2024, down from 48 in 2023.

The Vice President has been hiding from the public eye. And there’s a very good reason for this.

Because stunning test result left Kamala Harris white as a ghost.

Kamala is not looking great with just a few days out from the election.

Harris may be aiming to capture the energy of Barack Obama’s historic 2008 campaign, but achieving the same results appears unlikely, according to a recent University of Massachusetts Lowell poll suggesting Donald Trump is positioned to clinch North Carolina for a third time in eight years.

Surveying 650 likely voters between October 16 and 23, the poll shows Trump with a narrow lead over Harris, capturing 47% of the vote to her 45%.

Trump’s edge in this poll is right between his 2016 win of 3.66 points and his tighter 1.34-point lead in 2020.

Four percent of voters remain undecided, while third-party candidates Cornel West and Jill Stein each earn 1%, alongside an additional 1% who favor “another candidate.”

Trump’s success in this poll hinges on a familiar dynamic: winning over men by a notable margin.

While both candidates dominate within their own gender, Trump leads Harris by 12 points among men, whereas Harris holds a narrower 7-point lead among women.

With just 3% of men undecided versus 5% of women, Trump may have additional room to build on this advantage.

Race also plays a significant role in this North Carolina matchup.

Trump garners support from 58% of white voters, giving him a solid 22-point lead over Harris in that demographic.

Harris, however, has a commanding lead among Black voters, winning 79% to Trump’s 11%, with 10% still uncommitted.

Otherwise, Harris and Trump are running evenly in several critical metrics, with both candidates claiming 92% of their party’s voters.

This high party loyalty tempers any narrative of Republicans crossing over to rebuke Trump, as 95% of Harris’s voters and 92% of Trump’s say their choice is locked in.

The poll also examined North Carolina’s governor race, where GOP Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson trails Democrat Attorney General Josh Stein by a sizable 12 points, 48% to 36%.

Stein is outperforming Robinson significantly among independents, leading 52% to 13%.

Seven percent favor third-party candidates, 27% remain undecided, and 2% say they’re sitting this race out.

The weaponization of the federal government should scare every American. Now we need answers.

And the FBI is on fire after House Republicans announces an unprecedented investigation.

The House Oversight and Reform Committee has demanded answers from the FBI, questioning why it published crime statistics last year that seemed to align with President Biden’s claims of a drop in violent crime, only to “quietly” revise those numbers this year.

Initially, FBI analysts reported a 1.7% decrease in violent crime for 2022.

However, last month’s low-key revision now shows a 4.5% increase from 2021 to 2022.

So the most senior law enforcement agency in the country is playing cover for Biden and Kamala?

In response, Oversight Chairman James Comer has ordered the FBI to hand over documents detailing these adjustments, as well as any communication with the Justice Department or the Biden White House.

“The committee is concerned that the FBI’s recent failures to report accurate crime data are politically motivated,” Comer, a Kentucky Republican, wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Crime data is already a flashpoint in the 2024 election, with former President Donald Trump warning of a crime surge, while President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris maintain it’s down.

Vice President Harris has been citing the FBI’s data, but John R. Lott Jr., president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, says the FBI’s quiet updates undermine those claims.

The revised data shows significant increases in aggravated assaults, robberies, and murders, contradicting the FBI’s initial report.

Following the release of Mr. Lott’s analysis, the FBI informed The Washington Times that these figures were revised as part of a new method for sharing police report data.

The initial reports were extrapolated from available data, while the updated version uses raw figures.

Despite the adjustments, the FBI stands by its conclusion that crime reports dropped from 2021 to 2022 and has since reported a further decline from 2022 to 2023.

Mr. Comer says Americans remain unconvinced.

Adding to the confusion, the Justice Department’s National Crime Victimization Survey paints a different picture, showing that crime levels were largely unchanged from 2022 to 2023 and remain significantly higher now than in 2020, the final year of the Trump administration.

Why is it so hard to get straight answers?

Because plenty of politicians stand to win political points if they can pretend that the country isn’t on fire.

This election is going to come down to just a few states and a handful of voters. Anything could tip the scales.

And now Biden-Harris got slapped with a damning report that they are struggling to recover from.

A recent report from the House of Representatives is spotlighting what it describes as the Biden administration’s negligence in recovering an estimated $200 billion lost to fraudulent COVID-19 pandemic loans.

The House Small Business Committee, led by Chairman Roger Williams (R-Texas), has been examining how the Small Business Administration (SBA) managed the emergency relief programs put in place after pandemic lockdowns shuttered businesses nationwide.

“In creating the COVID Lending Programs, Congress understood that the relief funds needed to be issued quickly to help businesses cope with the economic strain of the pandemic,” the report explains.

But that rapid rollout, aimed at getting relief out fast, led to corners being cut, with the hope that improper disbursements would be recovered afterward.

However, the report criticizes the SBA for making “numerous decisions that decreased the likelihood” of reclaiming funds granted under false pretenses.

Altogether, the committee estimates $200 billion may have fallen into the wrong hands.

Of the approximately $5.5 trillion approved by Congress for pandemic aid, $1.2 trillion flowed through the SBA, largely under two legislative actions: the CARES Act, signed by former President Trump, and the American Rescue Plan, signed by President Biden.

The committee’s report, while recommending reforms for the COVID loan system, calls out Democrats for focusing heavily on the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which had an estimated $64 billion in fraud, while the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program saw a much higher $136 billion in fraud.

Drafted by the Republican majority’s staff, the report acknowledges the strain placed on the SBA’s limited infrastructure in 2020, saying, “In the days after Congress passed the initial COVID relief legislation, SBA employees worked night and day to craft the rules and policies for its new lending programs.”

The agency reportedly issued more funds in the first 14 days of these programs than it had in the previous 14 years combined.

While the SBA staff “did a remarkable job” setting up the programs, they lacked adequate support, time, and staffing to ensure the systems were secure from fraud.

The report slams the Biden administration for failing to implement anti-fraud safeguards and for not recovering funds lost when it took control in January 2021. It also criticizes the Democratic-led Congress for zeroing in on PPP, despite EIDL having “approximately four times” the fraud rate.

The report suggests Democrats’ emphasis on PPP stems from its connection to private sector partners, arguing, “It is likely that this misplaced focus by Congressional Democrats, and their surrogates in the media, obscured the realities of fraud in these programs, at least to some degree.”

Republicans highlighted the need for “substantial changes” to improve PPP’s efficiency and fraud resistance.

In response, Rep. Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), ranking Democrat on the House Small Business Committee, contested the report’s claims, pointing out that most fraud in COVID-19 business programs occurred under the Trump administration’s initial rollout.

“The vast majority of fraud in COVID-19 small business programs occurred in the first nine months of implementation under the Trump administration,” Velázquez stated. “The Biden administration inherited these programs and the controls in place at the time.”

An SBA spokesperson emphasized that “86% of the suspected fraud” in both PPP and EIDL happened during the Trump administration’s early months, noting that safeguards removed to expedite disbursement were later restored under Biden’s leadership.

They also pointed out that the committee had yet to share the report with the SBA, calling it “standard investigations practice” to inform agencies of findings before public release.

Schumer’s time as Senate Majority Leader is running out. There’s not denying it this time.

Because Chuck Schumer’s career is over thanks to his role in this heinous scandal.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is under intense scrutiny following accusations that he urged Columbia University administrators to suppress criticism over their handling of violent incidents and antisemitism on campus in response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

The GOP-led House Education and Workforce Committee recently released a 325-page report claiming that Schumer advised former university president Minouche Shafik to downplay Republican concerns, allegedly assuring her that the institution’s “political problems are really only among Republicans.”

According to the report, Schumer’s staff also encouraged Columbia’s leadership to “keep heads down” and avoid further attention to the issue.

Prominent voices have condemned Schumer’s reported actions, with former Brooklyn state Assemblyman Dov Hikind, a Democrat-turned-Republican and founder of Americans Against Antisemitism, calling Schumer “nothing but a kapo traitor” and criticizing him for abandoning Jewish communities.

“He is a traitor to America. He is a traitor to the Jewish people. Shame on him!” Hikind stated. He also claimed this was emblematic of the Democratic Party’s direction.

The House report comes after months of investigation into how various universities, including Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and Northwestern, responded to anti-Israel protests. Emails and text exchanges from university leaders, including Shafik, who stepped down in August, were examined.

According to the report, the correspondence reveals that university officials felt bolstered by Schumer’s support to avoid engaging with Republican concerns.

In messages with Columbia’s Board of Trustees co-chairs, David Greenwald and Claire Shipman, Shafik allegedly described Schumer as “very positive and supportive (and quite the storyteller).”

A spokesperson for Schumer dismissed the report as “flat-out false,” arguing that the senator has been vocal against antisemitism both publicly and privately, stating, “Sen. Schumer regularly and forcefully condemned antisemitic acts at Columbia and elsewhere saying ‘when protests shift to antisemitism, verbal abuse, intimidation, or glorification of Oct. 7 violence against Jewish people, that crosses the line.’ He conveyed this point publicly and to administrators privately.”

Angelo Roefaro, Schumer’s spokesperson, insisted that claims to the contrary were hearsay.

Columbia’s campus has reportedly become increasingly hostile to Jewish students since the October 7 massacre. According to an August university report, Jewish students have faced harassment, stalking, and verbal abuse, with some even having their jewelry ripped off while on their way to synagogue.

The campus also saw an incident in April when anti-Israel demonstrators barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall, attempting to rename it after a Palestinian child victim of the conflict. The protest resulted in over 100 arrests after university officials requested police assistance.

In response to these findings, Ari Shrage, leader of the Columbia Jewish Alumni Association, expressed his disappointment, asserting, “The report is more evidence of what we already knew: Columbia did not do their job to prevent antisemitism on campus. Unfortunately, the report also shows that many of its insiders are part of the deep institutional rot.”

The recent developments have further galvanized voices calling for change in leadership.

Republican Senate candidate Mike Sapraicone noted that Schumer’s alleged actions represented a reason for his campaign against “rubber-stamp” Democratic politicians, stating to the New York Post, “The recent report from the House Committee on Education and the Workforce demonstrates how the Democrats speak out of both sides of their mouths.”

“The reports of Sen. Schumer dismissing blatant violence and antisemitism are exactly why I’m running to replace his counterpart, who is just a rubber stamp. Election Day will prove that Americans won’t tolerate any longer.”

Further complicating matters, the House report also disclosed that Ivy League administrators made “an intentional decision” to soften language condemning Hamas’ October attack, removing the words “violence” and references to Israeli hostages from official statements.

The Left can’t hide from the truth. Their lies will only go so far.

And now Karine Jean-Pierre tucked her tail and rain after being asked the one question she can’t answer.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was immediately put on the defensive Wednesday after flatly denying that President Biden had labeled Trump supporters as “garbage.”

During a virtual campaign call Tuesday with Voto Latino, Biden took a direct swing at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s offensive jokes—going as far as to call Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”—had already sparked outrage. Biden piled on, saying, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

Commenting on this shocking display, Biden continued, “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.”

But at the White House press briefing, Jean-Pierre scrambled to put out the fire:

“Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,” she said, robotically repeating a “statement” Biden had issued to soften the remarks.

“He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage,” she added, insisting Biden is “a president for all,” conveniently glossing over how voters in “red states and blue states” might actually feel.

However, critics weren’t buying what Jean-Pierre was selling, with some questioning whether she actually thinks the public would swallow such an unconvincing defense.

“Breaking wind from BSNBC!” former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee blasted:

“5 Alarm fire at the WH when KJP’s pants catch fire in spontaneous combustion after she claims Joe didn’t really call Trump supporters ‘garbage.’ She does know that we can see the video for ourselves? That we aren’t as clueless as her boss is?”

Bo French, Tarrant County GOP chair, also voiced his frustration:

“It amazes me more people aren’t appalled by the outright lies these people tell. We watched the video. He clearly called us garbage. I have a feeling the swing voters are done with this kind of BS.”

Video journalist Nick Sortor hit a similar tone in his tweet:

“JUST IN: Karine Jean-Pierre, while dressed as a piece of Laffy Taffy, says Biden ‘was not calling Trump supporters garbage.’ … even though it’s LITERALLY ON VIDEO. Again, these people think you’re stupid. Vote accordingly.”

Even White House reporter Anthony Hughes wasn’t impressed, calling Jean-Pierre’s remarks “ridiculous.”

And podcaster Matt Bilinsky saw it as a clear win for Trump, quipping, “Man was this a gift to Trump.”

It seems Jean-Pierre’s excuse tour has only confirmed to many voters that the Biden administration is out of touch, thinking Americans are blind to what’s right in front of them.

The election is almost here. And there’s no telling what’s going to happen.

But now RFK Jr. revealed details of a secret conversation with Donald Trump that could change everything.

In a bold move to shake up Washington’s public health and agriculture systems, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has shared that former President Donald Trump intends to give him “control” over the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) if he returns to office.

Kennedy revealed that Trump “promised” him authority over “public health agencies, which are HHS and its sub-agencies, CDC, FDA, NIH, and a few others,” as well as the USDA.

The comments appeared in an online video, sparking discussions about Trump’s commitment to appoint leaders willing to take on systemic issues head-on.

Kennedy later clarified in a message reported by The New York Times that the video was part of an internal talk with campaign workers on get-out-the-vote efforts for Trump, underscoring the seriousness of his dedication to the Trump administration’s goals.

“I stand ready to help him rid the public health agencies of their pervasive conflicts and corruption and restore their tradition of gold-standard, evidence-based science,” Kennedy asserted in a statement.

Though no official decisions about Cabinet roles have been finalized, Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the former president’s eagerness to “work alongside passionate voices like RFK Jr. to Make America Healthy Again” by prioritizing family safety and ending the chronic disease epidemic harming children.

After initially pursuing a Democratic presidential run and then an independent bid, Kennedy dropped out to support Trump fully.

“When @realDonaldTrump gets me inside the USDA, we’re going to give farmers an off-ramp from the current system that destroys soil, makes people sick, and harms family farms,” Kennedy posted, promising a fresh approach to agriculture in a Trump-led administration.

In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Trump affirmed his dedication to bringing Kennedy into his administration, confirming, “I am.”

At his rally in Madison Square Garden, Trump emphasized his plan to let Kennedy “go wild on health,” particularly in areas concerning food and medicine reform.

“One of the first things I will do once we get @realDonaldTrump back in the White House and me to D.C. is to get ultra-processed foods out of school lunches,” Kennedy announced, highlighting one of many anticipated changes in a revitalized approach to public health.

Kennedy has been vocal about reforming regulatory agencies like the CDC, NIH, FDA, and USDA, which he says “have become sock puppets for the industries that they’re supposed to regulate.”

Together with Trump, he intends to “replace the corrupt industry-captured officials with honest public servants,” signaling a new era in American health and agriculture leadership.

And who can argue with him?

After years or COVID hysteria that gripped the news waves, lockdowns, and seemingly unfixable chronic health epidemic, can we really say the current system is working?

Come on. Americans are smarter than that.
