God this guy is such a complete and utter moron. Trump just called for New Mexico to be renamed New America. Does he realize how stupid this sounds? Is he claiming that the State is the "New America"? What, did he destroy the original America?

Hume: The president has been out campaigning vigorously, but I'm not sure it's making any difference and what difference it would make I'm not sure is helping.  In Texas, he is calling James Talarico “Tala-freak-o.” He is not a freak. You see him. He seems mild mannered and pleasant and not an unattractive candidate.  This cuddling up to Vladimir Putin at this moment… I don’t think that plays well. The American public can’t stand Putin. And this fiasco with the press secretary…

French authorities acknowledge they have “lost control” in major cities as widespread protests, violence and unrest grip the country, prompting calls for curfews to restore order. The unrest has also disrupted major landmarks, with the Louvre Museum in Paris closing after protesters announced a blockade, while a towering spire in Limoges collapsed in flames. nbcnews.com/world/europe/fra…

Video of masked Israeli settlers striking European diplomats and elected officials near Taybeh, a Christian village in Palestine. The 78-year-old French mayor Bernard Baudoux was thrown to the ground and beaten with iron bars. Make no mistake: If the Israeli government wanted to put an end to this, they could within minutes. They don't. Just like Biden pretended that he wanted a ceasefire, but in reality worked tirelessly to enable Israel's genocide. They are playing the same trick on us again.

Fall is bulking season. As winter approaches, black bears at Shenandoah National Park are busy packing on the pounds. Acorns are a favorite fall food, providing a calorie-rich feast that helps bears build fat reserves before heading to their dens. Bulk. Nap. Repeat.

Anyone familiar with Mike Huckabee and his deep support for the settlement movement in particular, and Israel in general, understands the extent of the damage these rioters have caused to Israel’s standing among its greatest friends. It’s not rocket science to catch them and punish them severely, to make an example of them and deter others. The next U.S. ambassador will not be satisfied with words alone.
Heidi Levine, photojournalist for @wapo suffered serious injuries from vicious & cowardly attack. Heidi is US Citizen, clear ID as journalist. Details of who under investigation, but those who attacked unarmed reporter should spend YRS in prison. We have called for a full investigation, arrest, and prosecution to the fullest extent of the law to whoever participated in this. Attacking a female photographer is despicable act of terror carried out by masked cowards. Dishonorable act of senseless violence.

The scale of New York City's response to the nationwide No Kings mobilization against the Trump administration is nothing short of staggering. Powerful! ✊
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows FOX aerial coverage of large "No Kings" protests in NYC from October 18, 2025, not the smaller October 17, 2026 voter-focused events. fox5ny.com/news/nyc-no-ki… youtube.com/watch?v=5nAJPr… recordonline.com/story/news/loc…

Meta took down the No Kings organizing page today - the biggest day of protest this fall. They provided zero explanation. It stayed down for the entire afternoon until most of the protests were done. Outrageous. Put this on the January investigation list.

Happy Opener, South Dakota! Foster and I wish you good luck in the field! Pheasant hunting is part of who we are, and it’s a tradition worth passing on to our kids and grandkids. As Governor, I partnered with landowners to start the Second Century Initiative, helping turn marginal land into wildlife habitat so the next generation can enjoy the same hunting traditions we grew up with.

Israeli settlers are out of control, because the Israeli government allows them to be. And while attacks on diplomats or journalists command attention, as they should, this happens unnoticed to Palestinian farmers all the time.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.
