needed video to believe he actually said this 9 days before an election.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

BREAKING: Based on information obtained from multiple independent sources, I can confirm that the White House has narrowed its search for President Trump’s next Press Secretary to four finalists: Sydney Sweeney, Alix Earle, Kate Upton, and Scott Jennings. No other candidates are currently believed to be under serious consideration.

Remember when Joe Biden said Mitterand instead of Macron and it was a months-long story that he was inexorably declining and basically about to die in a vegetative state?
Trump: "I call him Mohammad Al-Fayed. His name is Abdul, but I call him Mohammad Abdul Al-Sayed."

Mayor Mamdani gave those murdered by Hamas terrorists a passing mention on the anniversary of their massacre. Jewish New Yorkers deserve a mayor who can grieve with them without an asterisk. We stand with the victims, their families, and the Jewish people.
This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity.

A snippet from Bret Stephens’s column today on Avinatan Or, who was kidnapped from the Nova festival on October 7 and held hostage by Hamas for 738 days: “On the 409th day, he was caught in an elaborate escape attempt that involved pilfering a pickax from a nearby storage room, getting behind the sandbags that formed the back wall of his cell and digging his way upward through more than 30 feet of earth, rock and concrete until he broke the surface, breathed fresh air and, for an exhilarating if fleeting moment, saw the stars. For his audacity, Hamas tied him to a chair, whipped and clubbed him for a week, then chained him to his cell for close to 11 months. At his lowest point, he told me, he lost more than 80 lbs. Why, I asked, did he take the risk of trying to escape in the first place? “I will not let other people decide my destiny,” he said. “Soldiers outside are fighting for me; I have to fight, too.” nytimes.com/2026/10/06/opini…

In the first 4+ days of my trip to Israel, I lost over 2,000+ followers just from posting about it. That was my initial worry before getting on the plane. By the end of my 9+ day trip, I lost 10,000+. Then I realized: if people unfollow me for being Jewish and showing Israel, they never supported me in the first place. They do not like me for who I am or my people. So I decided to do the exact opposite of going quiet. I interviewed Muslims, Christians, and people from all walks of life living peacefully together, showing what the media refuses to broadcast. Then something crazy happened. Those posts passed got millions of views across platforms. And over 20,000+ new people started following me who actually stand for truth, faith, and unity. I am going to keep using this platform to stand proud and show what living with conviction looks like. Never back down from your people. Never back down from your faith. God has got you.

If you were capable of voting in 2024 and did anything other than vote for Kamala, then you are directly responsible for Trump and all of the terrible things currently happening.

Two years ago the reflecting pool was reflecting, the East Wing existed and was welcoming visitors to the People’s House, and the Kennedy Center was financially stable and artistically thriving. Gasoline was semi-affordable and USAID was saving human lives all over the world. Go vote. We don’t have to live like this.

🤡 Eric Schmitt beclowns himself during Jack Smith hearing 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atlanta to go to a Hawks game and collude with Fani Willis, and briefly displayed his "evidence" on a poster board before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- Schmitt's facts were totally wrong. Smith was actually in Maryland at a Hawkeyes (not a Hawks) game and never met Willis. As Klobuchar told him, "You have your teams wrong." Here's the whole deeply embarrassing sequence:

Some photographs are so iconic, they will go down in history. They capture a moment so perfectly that, decades later, we can look at them and immediately understand something about the people and the time in which they live. One of the most chilling examples is the famous photograph known as “Eyes of Hate” - that 1933 photograph of Joseph Goebbels, captured in the moment after he learned that the photographer assigned to photograph him was Jewish. Look at his eyes. You don't need a caption. You don't need an explanation. The hatred is right there. And now, we have a new “Eyes of Hate” photograph for our generation - this one, snapped yesterday during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit. Look at their eyes. Really look at them. They show the very essence of these two people. There is no warmth. No joy. No humanity. Just that cold, unmistakable look of contempt. And the question isn't whether they hate someone. The question is who they hate. They hate the people who stand in their way. They hate the people who challenge them. They hate the people who refuse to bend the knee. They hate the journalists, the critics, the protesters, the immigrants, the political opponents, the institutions that constrain them, and anyone who dares to say, “No.” Ultimately, they hate the very idea that the American people are supposed to be their masters - not the other way around. That is what makes this photograph so chilling. Because sometimes a photograph captures far more than a facial expression. Sometimes it captures an entire moment in history. We will look back at this photograph years from now and remember exactly what we were seeing. Eyes of hate. And they were looking straight at us.
