According to documents released by journalists Matt Taibbi and Paul Thacker, the British anti-disinformation think tank, the Center for Countering Digital Hate, met with Democrats to discuss killing the X platform. “Kill Musk’s Twitter,” the group wrote in one bullet point of agenda items ahead of meetings with Senator Klobuchar and Congressman Adam Schiff, both of whom have been part of a push on Capitol Hill to regulate social media platforms.

The two U.S. troops are in stable condition and have been transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

After a four-second pause during which his audience enthusiastically applauded, Biden added in an apparent backtrack attempt: “politically, lock him up — lock him out, that’s what we’ve got to do.”
Trump attacks ‘dumb war hawk’ Cheney | 21 Oct 2024 | Former U.S. President Donald Trump has hammered Kamala Harris for campaigning with Liz Cheney, a prominent neoconservative whom Trump accused of wanting “to go to war with every Muslim country known to mankind.” Cheney, a former member of Congress and the daughter of former [neocon dirt-bag] Dick Cheney, endorsed Harris last month, and will tour the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin this week in a bid to drum up establishment Republican support for the Democratic nominee. Michigan is home to around 250,000 Arab-Americans, who reportedly favor Trump, due to their opposition to Harris’s position on the Israel-Hamas war. In a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday, Trump predicted that Ms. Cheney’s appearance will further infuriate the cohort. “Arab Voters are very upset that Comrade Kamala Harris, the Worst Vice President [sic] in the History of the United States and a Low IQ individual, is campaigning with ‘dumb as a rock’ War Hawk, Liz Cheney, who, like her father, the man that pushed Bush to ridiculously go to War in the Middle East, also wants to go to War with every Muslim Country known to mankind,” he wrote.
Steve Bannon blasts ‘Queen of Mass Incarcerations’ Kamala for ‘illegally holding’ him in prison despite his eligibility for First Step Act –“The Harris Bureau of Prisons is illegally holding me past my legal release date–trying to eliminate one of President Trump’s strongest advocate–these criminals reek of desperation,” Bannon said | 19 Oct 2024 | In a statement Friday, War Room host and former Trump White House Chief Advisor Steve Bannon said that the Biden-Harris administration is illegally continuing to hold him in prison, as he is eligible for the First Step Act. “Kamala Harris is the ‘Queen of Mass Incarcerations,’ detested by black and Hispanic men who are refusing to turn out and vote for her,” Bannon said in a statement to the National Pulse. Bannon is currently serving his four-month sentence in a Connecticut federal prison handed down in response to his contempt of Congress conviction. Harris “has done nothing to implement President Trump’s heroic First Step Act, in fact welcoming hundreds of thousands of hardened illegal migrant criminals while allowing U.S. citizens eligible for early release to rot in prison. No mass deportations, but continual mass incarcerations,” he continued. A motion to reimpose bail or a period of supervised release was filed on August 29. The government’s response has been pending for over 75 days.
Handwriting analysis expert catches Cassidy Hutchinson in apparent false testimony | 21 Oct 2024 | Handwriting analysis of a tweet draft is the latest piece of evidence contradicting the testimony of star Jan. 6 witness Cassidy Hutchinson who has come under fire from House Republicans for her role in the investigation led by the Democratic-controlled Jan. 6 Select Committee. In her public testimony before the special committee in June 2022, Hutchinson told Congress, under oath, that she wrote the note for a proposed tweet as her boss, President Donald Trump’s Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and Eric Herschmann, a personal attorney to Trump, dictated it to her. Immediately after her public testimony, Herschmann disputed Hutchinson’s claim, according to the House Republicans. Now, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight said it ordered a handwriting analysis from an expert who determined was consistent with Herschmann’s writing, not Hutchinson’s.

Musk, whose net worth stands at 246.5 billion, says he financially backed both Republican and Democratic candidates in previous campaigns, not showing any clear preference for either party. However, following the failed assassination attempt on Trump on July 13, the tycoon publicly endorsed the GOP candidate, and has been a vocal supporter ever since.
Donald Trump trolls Kamala Harris by working the McDonald’s drive-thru outside Philadelphia | 20 Oct 2024 | Donald Trump passed through the golden arches and got behind the fryer at a McDonald’s in the Philadelphia suburbs — in a move designed to troll Kamala Harris. “I’m looking for a job. And I’ve always wanted to work at McDonald’s but I never did,” Trump said as he introduced himself to franchise owner Derek Giacomantonio. “I’m running against somebody that said she did, but it turned out to be a totally phony story.” “So, if you don’t mind, I want to work the French fry counter. How much are you paying me?” the billionaire ex-president said with a laugh. Trump then proceeded to put on a black and yellow apron and learn the process of making French fries at the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, restaurant. Trump also took a turn at the drive-thru counter — catering to a handful of prearranged “customers” who were supporters. Trump said the meals were taken care of, which speeded processing. “I’m having a lot of fun here, everybody,” he declared.
Kids pushed out of schools in Logansport, Indiana, after migrants swelled county’s population by 30% –‘Everybody else is falling behind’ | 21 Oct 2024 | Thousands of migrants from Haiti and dozens of other countries have arrived in this isolated Indiana city of 18,000 in just a few years. Furious residents say they no longer feel safe in the once-sleepy downtown, and their kids are being muscled out of the schools by new students who don’t know English and need a lot of help. They blame Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. “Do something. Our community cannot withstand this many people being here,” Candice Espinoza, 32, a local photographer, told The Post when asked what her message would be to the Democratic presidential candidate. Nancy Baker, 44, a mother of two, was more blunt about what she would tell Harris: “Get off my property.” It’s not entirely clear how many migrants have arrived in Logansport — but Cass County Health Department Administrator Serenity Alter told The Post that the surrounding area’s population has surged nearly 30%.
Two suspected Tren de Aragua gang members arrested in upstate New York in connection to Connecticut homicide –Law enforcement sources said that the woman was caught and released at the border in Fort Brown, TX on May 26, 2022, the man crossed the border undetected at an unknown time. | 18 Oct 2024 | Two Venezuelan illegal immigrants believed to be part of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang were arrested in the upstate New York town of Rensselaer and were charged in connection to a homicide in a Stamford, Connecticut.

‘Evil’ super gang seizes four apartment complexes in major Texas city in new terrifying show of strength | 16 Oct 2024 | A dangerous Venezuelan gang has taken over at least four apartment complexes in San Antonio, Texas, as it expands its reach in yet another America city, Daily Mail can reveal. Dubbed the “epitome of evil,” Tren de Aragua (TdA) is known to run drug smuggling, child prostitution, and human trafficking rings in South America, with its members crossing over into the U.S. in recent years amid a wave of Venezuelan migrants. The tattooed mobsters have since unleashed a wave of crime across the country from Miami and Texas to Denver and New York. Just last week, a small army of police officers raided an apartment complex in San Antonio and arrested 19 individuals — including four gang members. Law enforcement sources confirmed TdA had been operating at the Palatia Apartments for five to six months – squatting in empty units they either rented out to other migrants, used as a base to [commit various crimes].
No-bid migrant contractor DocGo’s successor reaped $450M in NYC taxpayer m-ney | 18 Oct 2024 | A disaster response company that replaced the controversial DocGo as a migrant services provider for New York City has cost taxpayers more than 450 million over the last year, The Post has learned. Councilman Justin Brannan (D-Brooklyn) called on the city and state comptrollers to investigate Garner Environmental Services’ contract in a scathing Thursday letter exclusively obtained by The Post. Garner had previously inked a 30 million emergency services standby contract with the city. When City Hall ended its 432 million no-bid contract with DocGo in May after months of backlash, it handed the troubled company’s responsibilities for sheltering the city’s tens of thousands of migrants to Garner. But Brannan, the council’s finance committee chair, who’s running for city comptroller, argued that Garner has reaped nearly 457 million, according to city records — more than DocGo’s widely criticized 432 million contract — and without being meaningfully audited and scrutinized.
Here’s how much each NY state resident will have to fork over in taxes to cover migrant crisis bill | 14 Oct 2024 | Each of New York’s 10.7 million taxpayers would have to fork over 215 on average to foot the bill for the state’s ongoing migrant crisis, according to a new analysis. Put another way, it would take the entire tax bill paid by 328,471 New Yorkers together to cover the 2.3 billion tab to house and care for the staggering number of asylum seekers in the state. The analysis was conducted by the campaign of Gina Arena, the Republican candidate in the 40th state Senate district in the lower Hudson Valley, based on the average 7,000 state income tax bill for New Yorkers in 2022.
