Top-Ranking Virginia State Senator Arrested by Feds for Trafficking Marijuana, Money Laundering, and, Get This, Fraud
—Disinformation Expert Ace
This arrest is totally "racist" according to the drug dealer and her Democrat Media supporters.
It's another Gentle Giant Dindu Nuffin sitch.
Virginia Democratic state Sen. L. Louise Lucas has been charged with allegedly having a leading role in a criminal enterprise that traffics marijuana and launders the proceeds, according to a federal indictment unsealed Thursday.The indictment charges Lucas and six other defendants, including several of her relatives, the Justice Department said in a statement. The 82-year-old lawmaker has surrendered to authorities, a Justice Department spokesperson told the Associated Press.
Authorities in May searched Lucas' hometown office and a cannabis shop in which she had a stake.
...
They allegedly orchestrated a scheme over years to enrich their own criminal marijuana enterprise, and Lucas used her position as chairwoman of the state's "Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee to insulate the enterprise from criminal scrutiny and influence legislation to financially benefit group membvers, according to Patel.
The feds also arrested seven of her criminal family members.
Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas and various family members are in federal custody today, up on charges of racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy with intent to distribute marijuana, conspiracy to launder money, conspiracy to commit audit services fraud, and maintaining a drug-involved premises....
FBI Director Kash Patel said at a press conference today, "As alleged by the Attorney General, Ms. Lucas, for the last nearly five years, accumulated nearly $5 million in ill-gotten gains through her criminal enterprise."
When Lucas was heard in a phone tap calling the (alleged!) criminal enterprise her "last chance at generational wealth," she really meant it:
The Old Dominion lawmaker-turned-lawbreaker (allegedly!) is 82 years old, so any worthwhile sentence would likely be a life sentence. Ironic, given that in an intercepted phone call with an alleged coconspirator earlier this year, Lucas can be heard saying, "I've gotten too old to not be greedy."
Fake moderate communist Deep State operative Abigail Spannberger, the media, and this pot-dealer's lawyers are complaining that the pot dealer was elected just before an election.Governor Abigail Spanberger @GovernorVA1h
I have read the charging document alleging a series of criminal acts by a member of the Virginia Senate. In our American system of justice, people are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and that is true for Senator L. Louise Lucas. She and her family deserve the opportunity to present their defense and speak to the allegations presented.
The timing of this indictment undermines the U.S. Department of Justice's previously longstanding policy of not taking legal actions -- to include indictments or significant investigative steps -- close to an election and sadly, this timing further erodes the trust the American people deserve to have in the Department of Justice.
Maybe, but not her election, these mob lawyers fail to mention: She's not up for reelection this year.
They also fail to mention that this investigation began "under" Joe Biden. Or let's just say he was the guy napping in the Oval Office when it began.
She immediately cried -- prepare yourselves -- Muh Racism and said that she's used to being arrested for being an illegal drug trafficker and money launderer because "I grew up under Jim Crow."
Jim Crow? Man, this is Jim Eagle!

Disney Groomer Corporation's Propaganda Division: There Is No Evidence -- NONE! -- Connecting Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood or Any Other Islamic Extremist Group
—Disinformation Expert Ace
ABC "News" are just mob lawyers for the Democrat Party.
Ben Shapiro @benshapiro2h
"Without providing evidence?"
El-Sayed literally signed a letter in 2012 in support of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. His campaign refuses to explain it.
Even the New York Times admits this evidence:
His sister said his family was MB. His father in law, who is a founding member of ISNA -- an offshoot of the MB -- donated hundreds of thousands to his campaign. There is not a single anti-MB measure he supports.He says about Islamic terrorists trying to murder Jewish kindergarteners, "Hurt people hurt people," and equates Dearborn-based terrorists trying to kill schoolkids with the IDF's targeted killing of Hezbollah members.
He was caught on tape during this campaign saying he wouldn't say anything about Ayatollah Khamenei's death because too many of his constituents were upset about it.
He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who says Hamas is better than Israel and speaks warmly of Hezbollah.
There is no more thoroughly sourced claim in politics than that El-Sayed is sympathetic to radical Islam and connected to Islamic extremists.
Ed Morrissey notes some more evidence, which ABC hides from its audience.
. I did a roundup earlier this week, in fact, of the evidence that ABC News and all of its reporters, editors, and fact-checkers missed in order to air these bald-faced lies:Let us count the ways in which El-Sayed connects with the Muslim Brotherhood, especially financially:
Father-in-law Tayeb Jukaku sits on the boards of CAIR and ISNA, both unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation money-laundering case that funded Hamas and both subsidiaries of the Muslim Brotherhood. Jukaku has also funded a super PAC backing El-Sayed, where the money's origins can be hidden from public exposure.
El-Sayed had to scrub his public praise for Imam Abdelhamid Algizawi, a local cleric whose sermons praised Hamas leaders, also a Muslim Brotherhood subsidiary.
El-Sayed appeared repeatedly with another Dearborn imam, Mohammad Ali Elahi, who turns out to be a former Iranian IRGC official who idolized Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
El-Sayed appeared at the opening of a mosque headed by Hassan Qazwini in June. Qazwini urged his congregants to vote for El-Sayed to "deal the Zionists a blow," and praised Iran for having "stood firm" against the United States.
El-Sayed spent Labor Day weekend at the ISNA convention in Detroit, the one in which one speaker promised that "America is going down." Again, ISNA is a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The New York Post and The Midwesterner reported in August that El-Sayed's mother helped launder money to al-Qaeda and the Taliban while working for the Islamic American Relief Agency (IARA) from 1999 until at least 2004. Some of the money that IARA moved funded Hamas too, which is -- again -- a subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Note well that I haven't even mentioned Hasan Piker in this list.

Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, aka "Ilhan Omar," When Asked If She Married Her Brother: "NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
What I'm about to say is very obvious but you've come to expect that from me.
When Democrats are lying, and realize they're about to be exposed as lying, they begin shifting their denials from objective denials to mere subjective denials.
The Clintons, of course, are infamous for this.
Bill Clinton first denied, objectively, that he had had no sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky: "I never had sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky."
Later, when it was proven that he That Woman Miss Lewinsky had performed both fellatio and analingus on him, and that he had penetrated her vagina with a cigar, he claimed, in his mind -- subjectively -- that he didn't think that oral sex qualified as sex so in his completely subjective view of the world, they never had sex and he was telling the truth.
I mean, "oral sex" contains the word "sex" but Bill Clinton claims that, in his mind, in his subjective idiosyncratic worldview, he didn't know that "sex" included oral sex.
Because he was doing a lot of parsing and quibbling and evasion in his testimony in the Paula Jones suit, lawyers asked him something that he could not parse his way out of later: They asked him if he was ever even alone with Monica Lewinsky. He claimed, objectively, that he had never been alone with her. Never.
When it was proven that he was getting his chocolate starfish serviced by Lewinsky while using her as the world's sweatiest humidor, he claimed that because there were many people in the huge building called the White House, he didn't subjectively believe he was alone with Monica Lewinsky when she was blowing him in the Oval Office. "Maybe I was alone with her," he later conceded, "but I never thought we were."
Hillary Clinton perjured herself when she claimed, as an objective fact, that she never, ever worked on the Whitewater account. When it was proven that she had worked on it, and had committed perjury, she denied having subjective knowledge that the account was the Whitewater account. She claimed she only knew the account by its billing code, which was something like "WHC," and had no idea whatsoever that this referred to the Whitewater account. She is claiming that in none of the many hours she billed for Whitewater did she come across a single document containing the word "Whitewater."
And of course when she violated the public records act by denying the people of the United States the full documentation of all of her correspondence, by hiding her email communications in a secret bathroom server, she claimed she hadn't done this to keep her communications from the public. Why, she didn't do it for that reason! She just was in love with her Blackberry and this was the simplest way to handle Blackberry messages.
I didn't commit espionage by deliberately using an unsecure server which was invisible to the American public (and federal prosecutors) but very visible to the Chinese. I had no idea that would happen! I just wanted to keep my Recipes and Yoga Routines on a special server, for convenience.
No "intent!"
The Clintons' defense is always: We didn't Knowingly Know what we Doingly Did.
I could say that "All liars do this," but that's not true: It is insulting to the hearer to lie in this way, claiming that you didn't know what you were doing when you did it, so most liars avoid this high-risk Lie on Top of a Lie.
But Democrats know their supporters are vicious cultists who know they're lying but just need any possible excuse to support the lie, and so will never convict them of perjury if they play the We Didn't Knowingly Know What We Doingly Did Card -- "no intent!" -- so they do push this absurd non-defense.
So now we come to Ilhan "Omar," real name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, who married her actual, biological brother, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. She knows the feds have her DNA and can easily prove she is Amhed's brother, so she shifts from her prior objective denials -- it's absurd and racist to accuse me of marrying my brother -- to a mere subjective denial -- If I married my brother, I didn't know it was my brother when I married him.
Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., denied Wednesday that she married her former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, to commit immigration fraud and pushed back against claims that they are related.But when asked if there's any familial relation with her ex-husband, Omar admitted, "Not to my knowledge."
The interview marked the Somali-born congresswoman's first time speaking with the media since federal agents searched her Washington, D.C., residence on Oct. 12. The congresswoman's office has not responded to Fox News Digital's repeated requests for comment regarding the investigations and raid on her home earlier this month.

The Morning Rant

As gratifying as the prospect is of a Marine Le Pen and National Rally win in April's National elections in France, it is dangerous to assume that she will lead from the right in all matters.
Her economic philosophy is protectionist more than anything else, and her fiscal policies focus on redirection of government spending to citizens, rather than the more rational decreases that are vital to France's emergence from its budgetary disaster.
Will her immigration reforms do the job? Probably, but she is conspicuously quiet on any sort of remigration of citizens who have demonstrated antipathy toward France. And while she supports sharply decreasing legal immigration, she plans to "restrict" rather than abolish birthright citizenship.
Le Pen Extends Presidential Polling Lead as France Slides Into Chaos
According to Elabe, a French polling firm, Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally (RN) party, leads the field for the 2027 French presidential election, with 32 percent support. Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, is on 15.5 percent. Former French Prime Minister Édouard Philippe, leader of Horizons, an establishment-aligned centrist party, also secured 15.5 percent. Raphaël Glucksmann, leader of the center-left eurofederalist Public Square party, secured comparable support, with 15 percent. This follows Glucksmann’s successful bid to obtain the endorsement of the Socialist Party after running in the party’s primary.
Is she going to win? Maybe, but don't count out the establishment elites of France who are terrified of a Le Pen win and will do anything to prevent it. Remember, she is still under what is essentially house arrest that has been stayed during appeal.
But the bigger question: is she the best candidate for France? And the answer is a resounding 'No." Eric Zemmour and his Reconquête party are clearly the best choice for a shot at an economically powerful and culturally healthy France.
And he is polling as an also-ran, so it just isn't in the cards, which is too bad, because he would truly throw the bums out!

The Morning Report — 10/22/26
—J.J. Sefton
The country best known for its cuisine, its arrogance, and its readiness to surrender at the drop of a hat is scheduled to host a regular-season NFL game in Paris between the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. The game is still on for Sunday, October 25, in spite of the fact that the U.S. Embassy in France is warning Americans to avoid areas of unrest in the country.The million-dollar question is, how do you avoid “unrest” if it decides to come to you? No doubt the orchestrators of the violence will know that disrupting an NFL football game in Paris will get the attention of America. With that in mind, you almost have to assume that the game already has the attention of the “mostly peaceful” violence planners. . . In the face of this, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell feels good about the security measures the league and the French government have in place for Sunday’s game. Of course, that doesn’t speak to the safety of every American fan who will be staying in the city but not under the same protection from armed guards as the players and coaches. You know, the paying customers who will have made the trip across the Atlantic for the game.
Hopefully those unlucky and stupid enough not to have cancelled their trip will be fortunate enough if all they encounter is a mostly peaceful hockey game breaking out or Muslim gang-raping on their way to the game.
And then we have the blathering of this emotionally disturbed yammering sewer rat:
On Tuesday, MS NOW’s The Last Word With Lawrence O’Donnell made the claim that “America lost the Cold War” due to President Trump’s recent diesel deal with Russia. O’Donnell launched into his hunch that Trump “now has surrendered” to Vladimir Putin. Also in on the guesswork was foreign affairs analyst and Daily Beast columnist, David Rothkopf, who argued that the president has since gone soft on Russia, reversing all the progress from the Cold War with Trump “doing his bidding”
Funny but where was this douchebag when Jimmy Carter handed Iran over to the Mullahs, the Panama Canal over to Omar Torrijos and Zimbabwe over to Robert Mugabe while pressuring Israel to hand over chunks of its ancestral homeland to Islamic terrorists and on and on. And I'll bet he was as morose as Putin when the Berlin Wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed, much like Bernie Sanders and his fellow travelers in the Democrat Party, who are now hell bent for leather to re-establish Soviet-style rule here in America while alternately scheming to pack or dismantle the Supreme Court, abolish the Senate and in truth the Constitution amendment by amendment in the name of justice and democracy!
And because of all of that and the platform of most if not all of the current crop of Democrat candidates running in the midterms and sadly a horrifyingly large percentage if not overwhelming majority of their voters... Perhaps O'Donnell's statement that "America Lost the Cold War" might be closer to the truth than he thought, and certainly not in the way he thinks. It is he and everyone like him who has nearly brought us to our knees, so thank you and fuck you Lawrence O'Donnell.
So you can "stop the hammering" ... and the sickle-ing!!!!
Even staunch Lefty Bill Ackman has had enough.
Bill Ackman used to be a reliable vote for the Democrats. Today? Not so much. During a recent appearance on a podcast, Ackman described the Democrat Party as crazy, radicalized, and anti-American.It is near to impossible for the average voter not to notice what Ackman is describing here, especially with the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Good of Ackman to acknowledge this but whether he admits it or not, his party has always been this way, it's just that they did their best over the years to hide it and their totalitarian intentions, to varying degrees of success. Its record of destruction, dissolution and Anti-Americanism is well known, or at least used to be until successive generations of American school children were prevented from properly learning about it from an educational system that is now fully a Leftist brainwashing and propaganda machine.
“Reading, writing, arithmetic, and resistance?Students across the country have been taught to join the “resistance” against “settler colonialism” while being taught a sanitized view of Islamic jihad, a damning probe into major school districts revealed Wednesday. House Republicans released the findings of their investigation into multiple school districts after complaints of teachers pushing anti-Israel activism in the classroom. Parents send their children to school to learn reading, writing, and math — not to be taught to hate Israel or embrace radical political causes. Yet that’s exactly the kind of material our investigation uncovered,” Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) told The Daily Wire.
The report from the lawmakers focused on curriculum used at school districts in Philadelphia and Berkeley, where parents have complain
On these and all the other mostly depressing links, 70 by my count, I nevertheless bid you all to have a good day.

Again: Unnamed Deep State Officials Push Democrat Conspiracy to Washington Post, Alleging Trump Plan to... "Interfere in the Elections"
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Everything old is new again. The Trump-deranged deep state is dusting off its bag of tricks before the midterm elections. The Wasington Post, a reliable hand-maiden of the leftist, bureaucratic apparatus, is gleefully reporting that a group of "security officials" with experience "countering authoritarianism abroad" is warning the Trump administration will interfere in the midterm elections. It's all so tedious, parading out the old "group of experts say..." influence operation. Memories of the "51 intelligence officials confirming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation" maneuver come flooding back. By the way, the Hunter Biden laptop was, in fact, not Russian disinformation but Hunter's actual laptop."All of them have said we're concerned but we don't know what to do," one member of the group said of its meetings with lawmakers. "The outcome that we hope for is that states would be prepared for any contingencies should they arise," the person continued.
Well at least these " " " intelligence " " " officials are presenting us with very specific, very actionable "intelligence."
"Something bad might happen. We don't know what it might be. We should prepare for a wide range of events, including the Null Event where nothing happens at all. In fact, maybe we should put our money on that last one."
The WaPo propaganda piece offers no specific evidence Trump is going to deploy the military or immigration agents to voting locations or confiscate ballots and voting machines or otherwise interfere in the election. In fact, the Pentagon has denied it has plans to deploy troops to voting locations and the Department of Homeland Security stated it will only respond at polling locations for genuine public safety threats. There is no reason to even write this article other than to elevate the fever dreams of the "resistance" and cultivate paranoia....
Just this past weekend, one of CBS's imbecilic journalists, Leslie Stahl, questioned Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon about sowing seeds of distrust in the election process by prosecuting people who voted illegally.
As usual, Democrats claim that anything a Republican says which raises the prospect of election cheating is a crime against democracy because it undermines faith in elections.
Meanwhile, they shart out their 19th conspiracy about Trump doing something to hijack the elections.

The illegal alien who spoke no English -- especially when he's being questioned under oath, when his English language ability plunges to zero -- but got elected as the Democrat mayor of Lawrence, Massachusetts because the Democrats completely changed the population of the country has been -- get this -- arrested for stealing American taxpayers' money.
This story is several months old but there's fresh news -- the city council at least voted no confidence in his leadership.
Lawrence city councilors voted no confidence in Mayor Brian DePeña Tuesday, formally casting doubt on his ability to lead as he battles more than two dozen state and federal charges.Five councilors voted in favor of the no-confidence resolution, one opposed it, and three declined to take a stance. But given the City Council has no legal authority to remove DePeña from office, the vote amounted to more of a political statement than an action item.
DePeña, 61, has rebuffed calls for his resignation and pledged to continue serving, even despite growing support for a recall election to potentially remove him from office.
The two-term Democrat was initially arrested in August on federal charges stemming from alleged pandemic loan fraud, with prosecutors saying he misused more than $1.5 million meant for a local business he owned. The political firestorm continued last month as Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell's office announced DePeña had been indicted on wiretapping charges for allegedly sharing an illegally recorded conversation between two city staffers.

Tucker Carlson repeatedly kvetches that the Trump administration hasn't done enough about Antifa. Andy Ngo repeatedly corrects him.Carlson: "I am surprised that two years into this administration, we still haven't seen a systematic attempt to understand what Antifa is and who pays for it. Where's that?"
Ngo: "I actually think the administration has done a good job. I'll name out sort of the things that have been taken by the federal government. A lot of people forget or don't remember what's happened. So in the autumn of last year, Donald Trump announced that his administration would be treating Antifa as domestic terrorists. There was a big executive order... But from there, then the State Department proscribed, banned four European Antifa groups. So making them designated foreign terrorist organizations... That was the first time an international Antifa group had ever been proscribed by the U.S. government."
"So the federal government has done a lot. I think, of course, they can always do more."
Carlson: "Has anyone been charged for sending money to Antifa?... Because if I gave money to Hamas or Hezbollah, I'd get a FBI raid at my house."
Ngo: "There was a really big case actually earlier this year, in Texas, a federal prosecution, it was the first time that accused Antifa members of a North Texas Antifa cell had been charged with providing material support to terrorism, attempted murder, and many, many other felonies... So there have been 15 who have been federally prosecuted and are accused in charging documents of being part of an Antifa network."
Cucked coffinrobber Emmanuel Macron says ignore all the video showing black and brown looters and palestinian flags, none of the looters are immigrants and Trump is a big liar.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday hit out at the "unacceptable and stupid comments from many foreign leaders" in the aftermath of unrest which rocked several French cities over the weekend."Some people have claimed that we've been overrun by hordes of migrants and Islamists, which is completely false," Macron told reporters during a trip to Qatar. His comments were a clear swipe at U.S. President Donald Trump, who this week railed that France is "being conquered, looted, and burned to the ground by migrants, jihadists, and Communists."
While hundreds of thousands of protesters in France demonstrated peacefully over the cost of living and school conditions at the weekend, the mayhem -- including public buildings being set on fire, stores being looted and clashes with riot police -- sparked widespread condemnation in France and abroad, including in the U.S., where Trump is using the French unrest to rally voters ahead of November's midterm elections.
There is no evidence tying last weekend's incidents in France to immigration.Macron said Trump is "among" a group of political leaders who are campaigning "off of France's back," adding, "it's at times like these that you can tell who loves France and who doesn't."
You know who doesn't love France? The hordes of angry, violent Third World conquerors you invited to live off the French welfare system before they seize the country entirely.
Right-leaning leaders in other European countries like Hungary and Poland also tried to pin the unrest in France on immigration to justify their countries' hard-line policies on the divisive issue. Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said on X that the chaos that engulfed several French cities makes it "clear to everyone why Hungary advocates the strictest possible approach to migration."
Of course the savages aren't all immigrants. Many a stupid, lazy, envious, venemous communists.
I linked a tweet about this rich bitch communist influencer.
Here's an article about her:
A woke French student has become the běte noire of the protests after she mocked business owners who lost their stores in the riots.
Lola-Fleur Whittaker, a leftist political influencer who studies at the prestigious Sciences Po Paris, appeared on a TV show Monday to defend the rioters.
"Your little shops, that's real cute," she said during an argument about who was to blame for the weekend's violence on her appearance on La Grande Confrontation.
But the privileged student was confronted by Jhemima Sheilha, owner of a chain of bakeries who had seen her businesses looted.
"It's my life, Lola," Sheilha said. "We've had to see our businesses smashed. What justifies terrorizing people's lives?"
Whittaker subsequently tried to paint herself as a poor victim, claiming that her mother is a teacher who eats cookies for lunch because she can't "pay for the cafeteria."
But she was quickly outed for a social media profile that revealed she's more bourgeoisie than proletariat.
She regularly shares pictures of vacations in exotic locations around the world, including Sicily, Greece, Malaysia, Egypt and Oman.
Whittaker, who earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Manchester, previously stood as a candidate for the far-left political party France Unbowed in Paris and is also a prominent leftist influencer.
During Monday's heated debate, she also appeared to bizarrely suggest a link between the recent rioting and the attacks on Algerian immigrants by French police back in October 1961, La Depeche reported.
Whittaker was not immediately available for comment.
The NFL has one of its international matches scheduled for Sunday in Paris. Apparently they're going ahead with the game despite the obvious security risks.
Marco Rubio says "It'll be fine, mate."
I don't know about that.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said on Wednesday that he's "leaving shortly" for France to attend the first-ever NFL game there and he's confident it will be safe to attend and play the game due in no small part to assurances he received from United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio, which were confirmed to OutKick by Rubio himself."We're involved at the highest levels both in France on a global basis with our officials here, including, I had a conversation here with the Secretary of State a couple of days ago," Goodell said at the close of the Fall League Meeting in New York.
"So we're continuing to make sure we have all the available information, make sure appropriate steps are being made. We're guests in the country. We're going to be good guests. We're going to do our thing and I'm confident they're going to do theirs."
Rubio on Wednesday confirmed to OutKick and Fox News Digital that he spoke with Goodell.
"Our embassy feels the game will be fine," Rubio told OutKick and Fox News Digital. "We have no indication the game will be impacted in any way."
Rubio will not be attending the game but it has nothing to do with recent events.
"I was never planning to go anyways," Rubio said.
The Israeli Defense Forces took out the last Hamas operative involved in the kidnapping and murder of hostage Shani Louk during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack.Tamer Muhammad Ibrahim al-Sabbagh, who was among the men caught on camera abducting Louk, 22, and parading her half-naked body around Gaza, was killed in an airstrike on Tuesday, the IDF said.
Al-Sabbagh was seen in the infamous Associated Press photo of Louk's body as he sat right beside her as he and his fellow terror operatives howled in victory while driving off in a pickup truck during the terror attack.
The men were quickly identified in the aftermath of the Nova music festival massacre, with the other Hamas operatives taken out during the height of the war in Gaza.
Al-Sabbagh was allegedly working to carry out future attacks on Israeli troops and civilians while stationed in Jabalia when he was located by the Israeli military.
Tuq'r Qarlson maintains that Hamas is only "supposedly" a terrorist organization, and "seems like a political organization to me."

LOL: Netflix Fires Its Head of Film Development, Apparently Due to Its Looming "Narnia" Disaster
Wokeslop Video Game Company Bioware Transitions to "Out of Business" (Pronouns Was/Were)
—Disinformation Expert Ace
I mentioned on Friday that Netflix had slashed 1,000 jobs, which is a 6% reduction in its total workforce.
It wasn't just the drones who got the sack.
"Everyone is collateral damage."
That's how one top Netflix insider summarized another bloody Monday at the streamer, which saw Dan Lin ousted as the company's head of film.
Following last week's 6% workforce reduction at Netflix -- which claimed victims including chief content officer Bela Bajaria and Lin's right-hand Doug Belgrad -- consensus said it was a matter of time before co-CEO Ted Sarandos would show Lin the door.
It took a day. On the heels of the Bajaria news on Thursday, Sarandos rang Lin on Friday to tell him he'd been dismissed, three sources told Variety. The exec kept his head up and pressed on through the weekend, appearing at Saturday's Academy Gala (in the same room as Sarandos) and at a Sunday tastemaker screening to support the filmmakers of "La Bola Negra." As has been summarized in many articles about the Netflix purge, creative leadership at the company is being overhauled amid poor stock performance and declining user engagement on the platform.
I wonder why. Clay Travis has a Conspiracy Theory:
Clay Travis
@ClayTravisNetflix is firing all of its top creative leadership after their strategy of make every character gay and trans and every white person black failed to produce strong subscriber growth.
Competing narratives are flying about why Lin was let go, but they arrive at the same conclusion: In the end, it wasn't working....
There are also some interesting leaks around tension he's said to have with A-list filmmakers like Greta Gerwig and Ben Affleck, which we'll get to....
Four sources with knowledge of the matter said that, indeed, Lin and Gerwig had a falling out during a Zoom call about the project earlier this year. On a virtual meeting populated by numerous Netflix executives, Lin is said to have been "dismissive" to the director in conversation about the progress of the film. Lin is known in town to be incredibly fair, but at times obtuse in his frankness. Word travelled fast around Netflix that the meeting had gone south, at which point sources said Bajaria called Gerwig's producer Amy Pascal to smooth things over. Two sources also said that Gerwig's new, all-powerful CAA agent Bryan Lourd went to Sarandos directly over the faux pas. Lin was subsequently disappeared from the film, all sources concurred, and Belgrad stepped in as the primary Netflix exec overseeing the project (until, of course, he was laid off last week).
None of the sources suggested the incident led to Lin's firing. One Lin defender said he's never "afraid to talk about how to make a movie better." Another person familiar with the company said there are any number of filmmakers who could say the same about Lin's delivery. While it may be juicy to speculate that Gerwig's follow-up to the game changer "Barbie" could be troubled, don't forget that the industry doubted that Margot Robbie film right up to opening weekend. "Barbie" grossed $1.44 billion at the worldwide box office and became the highest-earning release in the history of Warner Bros. Pictures.
Yes but that was an ideologically-driven feminist making a movie for her fellow feminists out of a toy property designed for girls. It was a natural fit. She didn't gender-bend Barbie, as she did with Aslan.
Actually I believe there was a "Trans Barbie" in the movie, but not the Barbie, and anyway, leftwing feminists are all about being Queer Allies. I don't think the Christian families who are the target audience for a Narnia reboot are going to enjoy the Everything for the Gays and the Girlies tone Gerwig will bring.
CosmicBookNews's Matt McGloin says he hears the Narnia film -- actually The Magician's Nephew -- is "woke slop."
"Narnia is a mega woke slop insanity," says the source. "Think Amazon Rings of Power but worse."The $280 million movie is already in serious trouble inside Netflix, where insiders have called it "awful" and "a genuine problem."
That report also described friction between Gerwig and Lin over the film, with reshoots ordered after a summer test screening.
Now Lin is gone with the movie four months out.
The first trailer was hit with 62,000 dislikes and a wave of Marvel comparisons.
Narnia hits theaters and IMAX on February 12, 2027, with the Netflix streaming release following on April 2.
...
CBN's source says there is a reason it is all happening now.
He claims that competition from the merged Paramount/Skydance/Warner Bros. corporation is the reason Netflix is making big moves.
"Now you know why Netflix was doing everything to stop the merger," says the source. "ParaBros is an existential threat."
"ParaBros" is the source's name for Skydance, the merged Paramount and Warner Bros. company that officially closed its deal on October 6.
"Did you see they fired Bela and Lin? Heads of series and movies in one week," the source continued, floored that both jobs turned over within days.
Our WB insiders add that Lin never got his faith-based projects off the ground at Netflix, which is another reason.
The warnings have been on the record for weeks.
On October 2, the Paramount source said flat out that "Netflix is in big trouble" and to expect major restructuring and firings.
Back on September 2, the source said Disney and Netflix "know what's coming and they're doing EVERYTHING to stop it."
And CBN's Narnia report, which flagged Lin and Bajaria as rumored to be on thin ice, ran October 14. Bajaria was out that same evening. Lin followed within days.
The firing landed alongside a TheWrap piece Monday arguing Netflix has a quality problem that may be impossible for any film chief to solve.
A top talent agent told the outlet that Lin faced the same challenge as his predecessor, Scott Stuber: the Netflix model demands too much volume to consistently put out high-quality movies.
CBN's source says that is not just a Netflix problem.
"DC Studios, Hulu, Starz, Marvel, and many others face the same problem," says the source. "Glut = Slop."
"Will ParaBros stop the madness? We shall see," the source continued. "Ellison wants to invest $$$ in quality but Kreiz is a penny pincher. The honeymoon won't last very long."

Minnesota Senate Election Trending Red?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
The Cook Political Report has shifted its rating of the Minnesota Senate race toward the Republican candidate, marking one of the only instances of a major Senate race seemingly moving toward the GOP this cycle.
Cook moved the contest from "likely" to "lean" Democratic, as polls show Republican nominee Michelle Tafoya closing in on Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, D-Minn.
So they still think the bizarre evil Karen is ahead, but only by a smidge.
The parties have more accurate polls. And the Democrats have cancelled ads in Minnesota, while the Republicans are buying ad space up.
These tea leaves are hard to read. The Democrats may be ending advertising because they think they have this in the bag.
But... Flanagan can't get over 50% in a very blue state. She's stuck at 46%, which isn't so great for a virtual incumbent.
That raises the question of why the DSCC stopped investing in Flanagan's race. Do Democrats think Flanagan is out in front enough so that they can shift their funds to other races, perhaps betting on potential pickups in Texas, Maine, or Iowa? Or do they look at Flanagan's inability as a quasi-incumbent to get to 50% in a state that's been safely blue for over 20 years as a flashing red alarm about her prospects, and have decided to stop investing in a loss? Dustin Grage told Larry O'Connor earlier this week, before the NRSC bought ad space for Tafoya, that internal polling showed results that differed from the publicly published surveys, including those tracked by RCP.Of course, we can pose similar questions to the NRSC. What do they see in Minnesota that's prompting them to spend money there rather than, say, Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa? Ken Paxton's Senate campaign against James Talarico has tons of funding from the Senate Republican caucus already through its Senate Leadership Fund, which put over $30 million into Texas PAC, and Elon Musk (America PAC) and MAGA Inc are spending obscene amounts of money here. Either NRSC sees something in its private polling that suggests Tafoya is close enough for a final push or they want to force Democrats to redirect funds to play defense in Minnesota.
For those of you who say "Poll are for strippers:" Maybe it's worse that that.
A "polling" firm called Wedgewood Polling consistently showed outsized leads for Democrat candidates, including in districts where no one else showed any chance for a Democrat win. Charles Schumer directed some ad spending in these no-win races.
But Wedgewood turns out to have been a completely fake operation.
They're claiming their completely-fake polls were a "social experiment" to expose the lack of rigor in polling and in media poll coverage.
But maybe this is a cover story. Maybe it was just a Democrat op to demoralize Republicans all along.
'We're fake!' Wedgewood Polls announced Tuesday night that they're not a real polling agency but a social experiment. A statement issued by the 'pollsters' says it conducted the so-called experiment 'to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry.' Major media outlets like the New York Times and MS NOW have cited Wedgewood Polls. If they were fooled, it shows how easy it is to break into the polling industry and be touted as reliable from the get-go.

The Federal Government Identified 20,000 Mail-In Votes In California Likely Cast by Illegal Aliens. California Refuses to Segregate These Ballots to Verify the "Voters'" Eligibility to Vote Before Counting Them.
—Disinformation Expert Ace
In addition, California admitted to a federal court they have no mechanism whatsoever to verify that voters are legally eligible and rely exclusively on the voters' say-so that he can cast a legal vote.
The federal government just arrested 28 people living in California for illegally voting while being Maryland Fathers.
The Department of Justice on Monday announced a string of arrests related to alleged voter fraud in California."This causes real damage to real elections and real damage to American citizens," a DOJ official said in a press conference. The DOJ also announced that it was bringing charges against 28 noncitizens illegally registered to vote, including some who did cast votes.
"These are not isolated instances," another official said, before confirming that the DOJ was reviewing thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.

🚨 20,000+ POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL VOTER REGISTRATIONS IN CALIFORNIA. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE ANSWERS.
Wake the f*ck up! You are being gaslit by the Marxist left. This list isn't assembled from rumors or political speculation.
According to the DOJ, federal investigators used immigration databases, identity matching, multiple verification layers, manual USCIS reviews, supervisory oversight, and law-enforcement screening to identify more than 20,000 likely noncitizens on California's voter rolls.
And now, 28 foreign nationals have been criminally charged with alleged election-related offenses in California.
Every flagged registration deserves proper verification.
But here's the question California officials must answer:
WHY WOULD ANY STATE RESIST VERIFYING VOTER ELIGIBILITY WHEN FEDERAL AUTHORITIES PRESENT DOCUMENTED CONCERNS?
Every unlawful ballot potentially cancels out the legitimate vote of an American citizen.
Election integrity is not voter suppression. Protecting eligible voters from wrongful removal is equally essential.
Thank you, @USAttyEssayli, for bringing the methodology into public view.
VERIFY THE RECORDS. PROTECT LEGAL VOTERS. ENFORCE THE LAW. 🇺🇸
The SCIF @TheSCIFL.A. officials have confirmed to a federal court that they cannot and have no way to verify a voter's citizenship, besides on what the voter claims their citizenship status is...
This should tell you everything you need to know.
"The Registrar is not equipped or authorized to verify voter citizenship because it does not independently house citizenship-related information beyond the voter attestation as identified in federal and state law, and is certainly not equipped to do so within the election period."

America's Sweetheart Ilhan "Omar" Releases Fundraising Video as the Walls Close All Around Her
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Someone on Twitter pointed out that the trees in the background of this typical left-wing woman car video were all full and green, whereas the trees in Minnesota are of course going bare.
So she recorded this video over the summer.
But she did release it Tuesday.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) raised her head to beg for more cash as she vowed to return to the campaign trail and fight the federal investigation into her immigration status.The lefty "Squad" member posted a minute-long video from the back of a car Tuesday night as she continues to lay low since her home was searched as part of the sprawling federal probe.
She thanked her supporters for sending donations that she said would help "fight Trump and his administration for trying to intimidate me and so many other people right before the midterm elections."
...
"I'll be out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms -- win the House, win the Senate and hold this administration accountable," she continued...
"It is going to be a very expensive and challenging time and so we appreciate whether you're able to send $5, $10, $20," she said, ending with a "Thank you."
I know that many of you are surprised to see this foreign pirate spy grifting for money. "That's not the Ilhan Omar I know," you're probably thinking.
But life is strange and sometimes it throws you a real curveball. I suggest you take the advice of some traveling philosophers and just roll with the changes.
AG Todd Blanche points out that Ilhan Omar has not been subject to a gag order, despite attacking the DOJ as corrupt. Trump, of course, was hit with gag order after gag order for criticizing the Democrat lawfare corps.
Embattled Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is allowed to speak freely about the federal immigration fraud investigation against her -- a privilege President Trump was not afforded during his legal woes, Attorney General Todd Blanche noted on the latest episode of "Pod Force One."Blanche, who served as Trump's personal lawyer when the president faced four criminal indictments during his 2024 campaign, couldn't discuss the details of the ongoing case against Omar but drew a contrast between the Minnesota Democrat's treatment and the various gag orders imposed on Trump.
"To the extent that [Omar's] commented on it, one of the things that she said is that we're not going to keep her quiet, right? We're not trying to keep her quiet," Blanche told "Pod Force One" host Miranda Devine.
...
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith asked judges to place gag orders on Trump in the election interference and classified documents cases.
Smith was successful in the election interference case, but a judge denied the prosecutor's effort to keep Trump from discussing the classified documents case.
The president was also subjected to gag orders during his civil fraud and "hush money" trials in Manhattan.
Trump refused to comment on the Ilhan "Omar" investigation, stating that ethics required him to be silent about an ongoing criminal matter.
President Trump said on Tuesday that Rep. Ilhan Omar could be jailed for lying about her age and described her home country of Somalia as a real "s--t house.""She's a sick, very dishonest person, who hates our country, and she comes from a country that is essentially not even a country, Somalia," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "It's a real s--t house."
...
Trump also suggested the offense could land her behind bars.
"She could go to jail," he said. "They keep talking about deportation."
...
"I hope they treat her fairly, but she's a very dishonest person," the president said of the federal probe.
Trump went off on Omar and Gov. Tim Walz during the Oval Office event, charging them as "100% guilty" of facilitating widespread benefit fraud in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
"The governor is 100% guilty. He's 100% guilty. He's a fraud. He's a thief. He's a crook, and he's getting away by just getting out of office," Trump said of Walz while announcing a new incentive program meant to reward tipsters who blow the whistle on additional theft.
The president then referred to Omar as "that little congresswoman, lovely little woman she is."
"She knew, they all knew," Trump went on.

FBI Busts Two Teenagers Who Were Plotting a School Shooting
The Would-Be Mass Killers Were... Girls?
—Disinformation Expert Ace
Were they actually girls or what the insane establishment now calls "girls"?
Two teenage girls conspired to carry out a school shooting in Riverside County, Corona police revealed late Tuesday.The FBI discovered social media threats from a 15-year-old Corona High School student on Oct. 6 and notified local police, who arrested her.
The plot comes days after a teen committed a horrific school shooting at an Oregon elementary school.
Police executed search warrants, combed electronic devices, and searched several residences in the area as part of the investigation. Officials discovered another 15-year-old girl from Norco High School was involved and arrested her on Oct. 20, police told The Post.
Officials uncovered that the pair had allegedly been plotting how to attack Corona High School.
They spent months researching past school shootings to inform their plan. Both had discussed how to obtain weapons to carry out the attack, but officials said they were unsuccessful in obtaining any. No weapons were found.
Both girls have been charged with felony conspiracy to commit murder and are in custody. If the teens were charged as adults, it would carry a heavy sentence of 25 years to life. As juveniles, they likely face a lesser sentence if convicted of the charge.
FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement that "a potential act of targeted violence against a Southern California high school was disrupted before anyone was harmed."
He said the FBI identified online communications discussing a "planned school attack" and the Los Angeles FBI field office moved "immediately," identified those involved, and worked with local police to take the teens into custody,
...
The identities of the two 15-year-old girls are unknown. Corona police said they would not release additional details at this time because the offenders are juveniles.
Is that the only reason?
...Corona High School enrolls more than 2,000 students in grades 9 through 12. Corona is a Riverside County city about 47 miles east of downtown Los Angeles.
The arrest announcement comes after Corona High School held its Homecoming last week.

Wednesday Morning Rant
—Joe Mannix
... Throughout my career I have always been critical of a museum profession that was awash in whiteness. The lack of diversity, especially in leadership positions, means that museums have not made the commitment to their communities or to their colleagues to be institutions that grapple with our differences. To see culture, history, and the arts as more than sources of beauty, exoticism, and nostalgia, but to use them as tools that help the audiences navigate the challenges of contemporary America. In an article I wrote twenty years ago, "Flies in the Buttermilk: Museums, Diversity, and the Will to Change," I challenged the museum profession to train, promote, and hire people of color as leaders of institutions.That could be from anything. It's boilerplate academic identity politics of the type that used to be comfortably cloistered in the ivory towers of the academy and its various institutional adjuncts. In this case, it was written by a man called Lonnie Bunch for his memoir entitled "A Fool's Errand.". Lonnie Bunch is the outgoing secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, which controls America's network of national museums. He was appointed by the Smithsonian Board of Regents in 2019.
At the Smithsonian, he and his underlings continued the core mission of all progressives: destruction. Those under him in control of the individual museums enthusiastically delivered the progressive vision for America's repositories of cultural legacy. They degraded American history, turned the Institution into an activist network, injected its progressive poison into American public schools and reframed everything through identity politics. None of this started with Bunch and it will certainly not end with him, but he was a capable and competent progressive culture warrior who rained destruction down during his watch. For the first time in a long time, however, progressive destruction is receiving a modicum of scrutiny.

The Morning Report — 10/21 /26
—J.J. Sefton
Good morning kids. Well as anyone who has any clue as to the nature of the Left and of our recent history could see with their own two eyes, the fires, literal and figurative, that are burning the heart out of France and of Western Civilization as we have known it, are likely to jump whatever firebreaks there might be and burn out not only the apex of Western Civilization but its last bastion, the United States of America!
A Minnesota rapper who traveled to France to join escalating riots has urged white people to “raise hell” and “f–k s–t up” as part of a revolution on American soil, The Post discovered. And communist-linked groups in the US may be working to bring that hell to the nation’s capital.Artist Tufawon, whose real name is Rafael Gonzalez Jr., joined Swedish activist Greta Thunberg outside Paul Éluard, the high school at the heart of the leftist protests marred by violence, looting and arson.
He addressed balaclava-clad protesters before performing his song “No One Is Illegal,” and riling up the crowd with chants of “f–k ICE” and “ICE out.”
“All power to the people,” the 40-year-old from Minneapolis boasted to his fans on Facebook. “After returning home from France I can clearly see how we need to become far more radicalized in the states. “We have to be more enraged. Our comfort is hindering our progress. It really and truly needs to be white people that go outside and raise hell if we want to see revolution.
“There are far too many neoliberals that are just as bad as the fascists. The French have figured this out a while ago. Now it’s time to take it to the next level. Go f–k s–t up white people. It’s your time.”
“They said they were going to globalize the intifada and now they have,” foreign policy expert at the Heritage Foundation Mike Gonzalez told The Post.
“What you are seeing here is the red-green alliance, the marriage of convenience between leftists and Marxists. They have a common enemy which is the Judeo-Christian democratic West. They want to dismantle it.”
Tufawon, who is part Native American and has appeared on the popular radio show The Breakfast Club, claimed that the perceived underfunding of schools and declining public services in France is similar in the US. “I’m incredibly inspired by what’s going on with the student activists and organizers,” the rapper said.
“The most marginalized students, the brown and the black students are the ones that are feeling the implications the worst.”
Tufawon urged fellow protesters in the US to “take influence from the French” so that they can defeat the “same common enemy”. “It is dangerous rhetoric,” Gonzalez told The Post. “If people listen to him and act upon what he is recommending it is very dangerous.”
Tufawon told The Post his trip to Saint-Denis was unplanned and “very spontaneous”. He said he was in Paris on vacation and left before last weekend’s violent protests.
He added that his Facebook posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.”
Wait, what?! This sick bastard is traveling to France to revel in and or participate in bloody volence while calling on the same thing or practicing to engage in it here at home yet insists his posts “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind.”
What a cowardly piece of shit! He'll prepare the Molotov cocktails but better he should get some little dweeb half his age to actually light and toss them. Naturally this part of the story won't change his tiny mind...
Meanwhile, CCP-linked nonprofit Code Pink, backed by Neville Singham, has wasted no time using the unrest in France to plan similar protests in America, with a “taxpayer uprising” planned in Washington, DC, between November 10 and 12. The feminist anti-American group has called on protestors to flood the halls of Congress in what it calls “three days of peaceful resistance.” But its leader Jodie Evans, 72, a radical Hollywood filmmaker and wife of Shanghai-based tech millionaire Singham, called on “people to look at France” as she urged Americans to take to the streets.
I'm eagerly anticipating the two-for-one of Leftists and Muslims killing each other off once God-Forbid when the embers of the final battle for America die out.
This is who and what we are facing. And on top of it we have an entire Political party in the Democrats who have historically relied on both violence — including a civil war to attempt to obtain and maintain absolute power or short of that, rip America apart to create their own state to achieve the same. And now they have so thoroughly corrupted and infiltrated what we thought were inviolable firewalls protecting our rights an liberties, primarily the judicial system and our intelligence services that violence of the kind we are witnessing in France is almost, ALMOST, unnecessary.
Former Democratic Congressional candidate Elijah Manley was arrested on Friday for allegedly posting death threats on Facebook against his colleagues who do not support far-left Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon. Manley, 27, was charged with two counts of making written or electronic threats to kill or injure, both felonies.According to CBS News Miami:One post said: “Every Democrat needs to get behind the Democratic nominee for Senate [Angie Nixon]. Anybody not doing that, I promise you I’m going to cut your [expletive] head off.”
Didn't Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton once threaten to cut then-candidate Obama's nuts off? Meh... And this shit won't go away.
You don’t have to twist Slotkin’s words. Taken at face value, her proposal would give carte blanche to investigate and prosecute pretty much anybody who has done pretty much anything for the Trump administration since January 20, 2025, so long as it’s deemed to be “corrupt”—and corruption, like beauty, is very much in the eye of the beholder.Slotkin has good reason to hate Trump. Last year, she was investigated by the DOJ for sedition. She appeared in a video with five other Democrat lawmakers with military or intelligence experience—Slotkin worked for the CIA—and advised soldiers, sailors, and airmen that they “must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.” Trump had deployed the National Guard to cities including Washington, D.C., and U.S. Southern Command was blowing narco-boats to kingdom come in the Caribbean and posting highlight reels on X. . . And maybe too we should remind ourselves of what was done to Douglass Mackey, the man behind the popular “Ricky Vaughn” Twitter account that posted memes during the 2016 election. Mackey was prosecuted under a Reconstruction-era anti-Klan statute for voter suppression for posting a meme he didn’t even make. For the crime of mocking Hillary Clinton and helping Trump to win, Mackey’s enemies in the Democrat Party waited five years, and then within days of Biden’s inauguration, federal agents were kicking down the door.
Retribution was a long time coming, but come it did. That’s exactly what Elissa Slotkin is promising again. The unfinished work of ensuring there will never be another Donald Trump will be a total effort, touching every level of American society, from government to corporations, from MAGA-hat vendors to dudes who post memes on X. Bank on that.
It really is us or them. But why am I overreacting, right? It's all just blather. Until you find yourself in a gulag or a cattle car on the way to one.
have a good day.
