TOP STORIES
FAR-LEFT COLLEGE ACTIVISTS BECOME PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS, STUDY REVEALS – When you see the far-left college activists screaming hate against the United States of America, hatred against our constitution, calling on defunding police and criminalizing “whiteness,” there’s a good chance you’re looking at future public school teachers.
A study from the non-profit watchdog group Canary Mission reveals 38 percent of far-left college activists go on to become public school teachers while 16 percent become activists in advocacy groups that are given free access to our children in public schools by these same seditious-minded teachers.

NEW HOUSE SPEAKER ELECTED ON FIRST VOTE – MIKE JOHNSON WINS UNANIMOUS GOP SUPPORT – Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) was elected the next House Speaker to replace Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on the first vote, winning 100 percent of Republican votes, all 220, with Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) getting all DNC and Socialist votes, 209 in total. As the left refers to Johnson as a right winger, a pejorative intended to invoke accusations of “ism” and “phobia,” but is really code that means “this guy supports the American constitution,” that is a good sign Americans might not have a “Uniparty” Speaker like McCarthy, his predecessor, was/is.

MAINE MASS SHOOTING LEAVES 22 DEAD, SCORES INJURED – A mentally unstable man named Robert Card is alleged to have shot scores of people in 3 different locations in the state of Maine, leading to the deaths of 22 individuals. The motivation for the shooting remains unclear, but Card has been treated for severe mental illness, hearing voices and threatening at one point to shoot up the National guard. He has been trained as a firearms instructor at the U.S. Army reserve training facility in Maine. GO DEEPER
U.S. PAUSES GROUND ASSAULT ON GAZA TO RE-ARM VULNERABLE BASES – Israel will be pausing its planned ground assault on Gaza as per the U.S. request to do so. The reason for the pause comes from the United States’ lack of missiles on stock at military bases located in the Middle East. The U.S. cannot adequately defend these bases until the missiles are delivered.
CHEVRON BUYS HESS FOR $53 BILLION – Chevron joins other energy companies in purchasing other large energy companies as the energy market moves even further towards monopolization. The company has recently purchased Hess for $53 billion in a deal that is only the biggest of this year.

EVEN WITH “OPEN BORDERS,” CBP FINDS RECORD NUMBER OF TERRORISTS ARRESTED AT U.S. SOUTHERN BORDER – Despite having a border that is mostly wide open for any enemy of America to cross, Customs and Border control is reporting a record number of terrorists have been caught in the last year.
The CPB report shows 169 terrorists have been arrested, which suggests to anyone with basic common sense that the number of terrorists who’ve entered our country thanks to Biden’s de facto Open Border policy is well over 1,000, a crime against the republic that, God willing, will lead to the arrest, prosecution, and detention of all who were complicit in this intentional sabotaging of the American republic.
COVID-19 BOOSTER NOT FOR PEOPLE UNDER 65, FLORIDA SURGEON GENERAL SAYS – Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo has recommended the Covid-19 booster shot not be taken by anyone under 65. The Surgeon General said he made this recommendation after investigating all the facts related to the booster shot.
The Surgeon General said, “Based on the high rate of global immunity and currently available data, the State Surgeon General recommends against the COVID-19 booster for individuals under 65. Individuals 65 and older should discuss this information with their health care provider, including potential concerns outlined in this guidance.”

AFRICAN “JUNTA” STATES FORM COALITION – The Junta-led African states of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso have announced a shared security pact that compels each nation to come to the material military aid of the other if they are ever attacked by outside forces.
UAE GOBBLING UP AFRICAN PORTS – The UAE appears to be taking over a number of African ports through its major freight company DP World. The latest acquisitions of ports in Tanzania expands their existing African port empire.

U.S. POLITICS (M-F)
LAWFARE JUDGE FINES TRUMP FOR RESISTING THE LEFT’S NARRATIVE – The Lawfare assassin Judge in the New York Fraud trial of Donald Trump, Arthur Engoron, threw a temper tantrum in court Thursday, October 25, excoriating Trump for expressing dissent against the court’s opinion in “violation” of the unconstitutional gag order placed on him by the seditious judge.
The judge fined Trump $10K and threatened to do much worse if he violates the gag order again. He also claimed Trump calling him the partisan hack judge he is “could get someone killed.” Methinks the man is projecting, as usual, a common tactic of the far-left seditionists this man represents.
FIRE-ALARM-PULLING DNC-CCP REPRESENTATIVE CHARGED – Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) will face criminal prosecution for pulling the fire alarm in an attempt to delay a vote on a continuing resolution, which was an effort to keep the corrupt Federal government funding the same far-left anti-American policies that it has been doing in whole now that a seditionist committee, the Mass Mailer President Joe Biden Committee, is in charge.
The charge could result in up to 6 months in jail but should be much worse if he were charged as the seditionist that he demonstrated he is by pulling such a stunt to affect a political outcome in his anti-American favor.

UAW LOOKS TO EXPAND STRIKE BY SHUTTING DOWN GM TEXAS PLANT – The UAW has been slow-walking its auto workers strike in a strategy aimed at forcing the car manufacturers to acquiesce to their increasingly unrealistic demands. Now, the head of the union, Marxist Shawn Fain, has ordered the workers in a GM Texas plant to join the strike, but it is not sure if his aim is to aid the workers or his own anti-American ambitions to destroy our essential industries from within.
CHINA LOOKS TO DESTROY FOXCONN – In a move that should surely chill any foreign investor’s hopes of having a secure place in the Chinese market, the CCP has announced it will be investigating the world’s largest manufacturer of Apple products, Foxconn. State-run Global Times revealed the CCP is using tax law to justify the taking down of Foxconn mostly due to its ties to Taiwan, and specifically due to the pro-Taiwan stance of founder Terry Gou, who is running as an independent candidate in Taiwan’s Presidential election.

CULTURE (M & TH)
AI-CREATED CP NOW SPREADING ONLINE – Pedophiles are using artificial intelligence to create startlingly real images of children being raped and even murdered says an online safety group, The Internet Watch Foundation, in “unprecedented quantities.” One danger from this proliferation is the fact that the images are getting closer and closer to be indistinguishable from the real ones, giving those caught with such images some plausible deniability unless the nation the perpetrator resides in has made it illegal to create such images in the first place.
ACLU DEFENDS PROSTITUTES’ “RIGHT” TO INTENTIONALLY INFECT “CLIENTS” WITH AIDS – The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is defending a prostitute’s “right” to intentionally spread Aids to their clients because the law prohibiting them from doing so “unfairly” targets minorities and the LGBTQ community, as if being in some form of identity group gives you special rights to medically murder, or at least assault, someone.

‘“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. ‘ Ezekiel 3:17-19
