‘[Bleep] all of you!’ Watch school-board candidate have graphic meltdown, seeking apparent death of Trump supporters

A woman running for school board in Monroe, Michigan, is getting fresh attention for a graphic meltdown she had in which she called for all MAGA supporters of President Donald Trump to “burn down to the ground” because they “do not deserve to breathe.”

The ferocious rhetoric from candidate Mary Renwick came in the immediate aftermath of the death of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis in January when Good purportedly tried to run him over with her car, though the circumstances remain in dispute.

“Every single one of you that voted for Trump, who supports what he’s continuing to do, f*** you!” Renwick exclaimed in a video she made of herself.

“You are responsible for what happened in Minnesota today. That woman being unalive, point f***ing blank.

“She was not a threat. She was trying to get away from the threat. ICE is the f***ing threat here. ICE is the terrorists.”

Renwick continued: “F***ing MAGA, all of you cultists are out of your f***ing minds. This not America!”

“I pray to God I live long enough to see every single one of you motherf***ers either burn down to the ground or find your day in court and get locked up because you guys do not deserve to breathe the same f***ing air as the rest of us who have a conscience. F*** all of you!”

UN Report Details Israeli Crimes Against Humanity in Palestine, Including Extermination, Rape, and Torture

A United Nations-mandated commission of inquiry on Monday issued a report detailing Israeli crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories, while also affirming that Israel’s genocide continues in Gaza, despite a nominal yearlong ceasefire.

“Israel has committed war crimes and the crimes against humanity of extermination, persecution, torture, rape, and other forms of sexual violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, intentionally targeting Palestinian civilians as it continues to commit genocide in Gaza,” the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said in a summary of the 19-page report.

“In Gaza… Israeli authorities and forces continue to commit genocidal acts even after the so-called ceasefire agreement, with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people, in whole or in part,” OHCHR said of the report, which was authored by the UN-mandated Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.

“Israeli forces have also deliberately killed and inflicted serious bodily and mental harm against children in the West Bank – as they have in Gaza – committing age-based persecution against Palestinian children,” the report found. More than 21,500 Palestinian children, including over 1,000 infants, have been killed in Gaza over the past three years.

The commission documented cases of rape and sexual assault of Palestinians, including at the notorious Sde Teiman prison in Israel, where, according to the report, a prisoner “was raped with a stick and forced to insert it into his mouth until he vomited.”

Previous reporting, including by The New York Times, detailed sexual violence against Palestinian prisoners, including one man who died after allegedly being sodomized by an electric baton.

The commission’s report also affirmed that Israeli forces sexually abused Global Sumud Flotilla activists who were seized upon the high seas and abducted to Israel, including one male activist who was raped with a metal detector.

The report comes as Israeli forces intensify a military lockdown and ethnic cleansing in the occupied West Bank, including expulsions and home demolitions in Hebron, following the killing of two Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers by Palestinians resisting the nearly half-century occupation, and ahead of Tuesday’s Israeli elections.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza – is trying to shore up support for his far-right coalition ahead of the elections. Netanyahu and other senior officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich have vowed to annex parts or all of the West Bank and to ethnically cleanse Gaza.

Netanyahu and members of his Cabinet have also said that Israel is planning to launch the biggest military operation in the West Bank since it was captured and occupied during the 1967 Six-Day War. Both the occupation and colonization of the West Bank are illegal under international law.

More than 250,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded in Gaza since the Hamas-led attack of October 2023. Roughly 1.9 million others have been forcibly displaced, often multiple times. Israel’s conduct in Gaza is the subject of a genocide case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice. A ruling is not expected until at least 2029.

The new report shows how the scale of deadly violence has increased dramatically in the West Bank. Six Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes there between 2008 and October 6, 2023, compared with 254 killed in aerial bombardments between October 7, 2023 and September 30, 2026.

OCHCR has documented 1,143 Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, between October 7, 2023 and October 9, 2026. At least 250 of those killed were children.

“The intentional killing and injuring of Palestinian civilians and destruction of homes in the West Bank combined with Israel’s persistent denial of responsibility form part of a broader strategy to exterminate and displace Palestinians and impose conditions of life that are unliveable,” Srinivasan Muralidhar, who chairs the commission of inquiry, said in a statement. “Meanwhile, Israel’s expansion of territorial control in Gaza continues to result in the killing and harming of Palestinian civilians.”

The commission also faulted the Palestinian Authority for targeting Palestinians for voicing dissent to its policies and actions and for its failure “to conduct effective and impartial investigations into incidents of killings and to ensure effective remedy, including financial compensation to victims and their family members.”

College Student Files Official ETHICS COMPLAINT Against Senator Elissa Slotkin for Her Threats to Young People Thinking of Working for Trump

Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan was in the news two weeks ago because she said that she wants to go after Trump’s inner circle in order to scare young people who might be thinking of going to work for the Trump administration.

It was clearly a threat. Go to work for Trump and you might find yourself in a world of trouble.

Now a student from the University of Chicago has filed an official ethics complaint against Slotkin. She deserves this.

The College Fix reports:

University of Chicago student files ethics complaint against Sen. Slotkin

A University of Chicago student has filed an ethics complaint against Sen. Elissa Slotkin for her recent suggestion that college graduates who work for the Trump administration might be prosecuted.

“Senator Slotkin, if you thought this was over, you’re wrong,” said student Michael Bicksel in a video he posted on X on Oct. 22 as he held up a copy of an ethics complaint he filed with the U.S. Senate.

“The complaint was submitted to the Senate Select Committee on Ethics and argues that Slotkin proposed using congressional investigations and potential prosecutions to frighten young people away from serving in a Republican administration,” Fox News reported.

“The complaint asks the committee to determine whether Slotkin’s comments amounted to ‘improper conduct which may reflect upon the Senate,’ a standard described in the Senate Ethics Manual as applying to conduct that may be unethical even if it does not violate a specific law or Senate rule,” the outlet reported.

Speaking Oct. 13 at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, the Michigan Democrat said potential legal problems should be a deterrent against working for Trump…

The comments drew widespread criticism as a threat to young conservative graduates looking to work in government, as well as complaints the sentiments were akin to “Bolshevik tactics.”

Vaccine Injury: A Glimpse of the Scale

Ihave heard these stories a thousand times. I am a board‑certified pediatrician with 46 years of clinical experience. I’ve practiced in group and solo settings, served as Director of Pediatric Education for a residency program, and received numerous awards for child‑health initiatives. My solo practice had 3,500 general pediatric patients. I spent five years as Medical Director of the Autism Research Institute.

By caring for and consulting on more than 600 children with autism from 5 countries and 20 states, and hundreds of children with complex chronic illnesses, I have a unique clinical perspective to share, which mirrors what these families shared today.

My concerns about vaccine safety began in 1999 after my patient experienced a severe and irreversible reaction following a vaccine I gave. Despite exhaustive efforts to identify another cause, I could not. The trajectory of my career changed. I left a secure academic position I loved and opened a solo practice dedicated to children whose medical needs were not being met.

During my career I learned an extraordinary amount from parents who are usually perceptive observers of their children’s health. At ARI we partnered with families to identify medical problems that were overlooked. Their insights guided our research and these actions should guide our actions today. Families directed us to treat gastrointestinal dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and impairments in detoxification pathways. Collaborations with international scientists helped identify mitochondrial dysfunction, methylation abnormalities, cerebral folate deficiency, and prolonged cell danger responses.

Most pediatricians do not know about these issues. Addressing these problems often resulted in measurable improvements in autism symptoms. Some children initially diagnosed with moderate to severe autism entered kindergarten no longer meeting criteria for autism because their medical problems were treated. Other severely affected children treated as toddlers have gone on to college without knowing they once carried an autism diagnosis.

My concerns about vaccine safety extend far beyond the narrow question of whether vaccines cause autism. Autism and complex chronic illnesses are profoundly heterogeneous. In my experience, antecedents, mediators, and triggers vary widely among children. Vaccines contribute to oxidative or mitochondrial stress in all children. In some kids; they amplify pre‑existing vulnerabilities. For others, early-life factors—such as C‑section birth, antibiotics, or prematurity — create antecedent conditions that interact with later vaccines and precede neurodevelopmental regression.

In 2005, I gave grand rounds at the university where I had been chief resident. Simply raising the possibility that the accelerated vaccine schedule might contribute to rising autism prevalence resulted in my adjunct faculty appointment not being renewed. At the time, I used a modified schedule that reduced aluminum exposure while remaining fully compliant with Virginia’s school requirements.

In 2006, I met with AAP leadership to discuss vaccine safety concerns – which were dismissed. Despite no research funding from government or pharma, I published a dozen studies in my spare time. One 17‑year project examined whether autism risk could be reduced by applying insights learned from families. After seven years, my autism prevalence was 1 in 297—at a time when the national rate was worse than 1 in 50. I submitted the findings to the AAP in 2013, expecting interest in a six‑fold reduction in such a serious public health problem. I received no response.

Society Is More Violent Than Any Revolution

I’ve been watching the discourse about the protests in France, and I’m seeing all the typical propaganda about violence and property damage.

This is one of those cases where people really don’t understand their own beliefs, because if violence was really their problem, then they would be just as outraged about police brutality, war and even the less obvious ways that society hurts and kills many people. I think what they are actually mad about is the fact that the violence they approve of, the violence they think makes society work, is being challenged. And it’s being challenged in a way that they think threatens the natural order of things.

Riots and Revolutions

There’s a whole other conversation to be had about agent provocateurs and how the police instigate violence so they have a pretense to crack down on the protests. But most people aren’t really thinking about it that deeply. They just see the news and they don’t really fill in the rest of the pieces. They see protests turning into a riot, and they’re afraid that a riot might turn into a revolution, and they’re afraid of how that might change their lives.

To some extent that makes sense, because a riot is really like the threat of a revolution. It is a show of force that says we have the power in our numbers to reset this entire system. It’s kind of like a way of bargaining with the establishment.

Still, I don’t personally think this is a situation that will turn into a revolution. I think this is going to be very similar to the kind of movements we’ve seen in the past. I remember the time of the Egyptian revolution and the Arab Spring, and many of us at the time thought this was going to sweep across the world and become a global revolution that was really going to change things.

There were also protests in Europe, especially in Greece, in response to the financial crisis and how it was handled, and we had Occupy Wall Street in the US. So I was optimistic about a revolution then, but then everything was co-opted and just fizzled out, and people didn’t have any kind of plan for what comes next.

This is one of the reasons I think that we’re not capable of a revolution at this point, especially here in the US. The people who are most organized, and I feel most prepared and most armed for a revolution, are not people I would want anywhere near power. It’s the crazy right-wingers.

19 Arrested as Riots Break Out in Spain over Right-Wing Influencer Campus Appearance

Riots broke out once again in Spain on Monday evening in the northern city of Bilbao as far-left activists staged protests to pressure the cancellation of an appearance by a right-wing influencer.

The autonomous Ertzaintza Police force of the Basque Country in northern Spain said that they arrested 19 people in Bilbao as a group of radical activists and students set cars on fire, looted shops and destroyed street furniture.

The protest, according to public broadcaster RTVE, was promoted by leftist groups like the Socialist Youth of the Basque Country and other so-called “anti-fascist” groups opposed to a planned appearance by Spanish conservative commentator Vito Quiles at the University of Deusto.

The call managed to see around 2,000 mostly students attend the afternoon demonstration, the Socialist Youth declaring that “Vito Quiles is NOT welcome” at their campus and that they would “not allow their hatred and intolerance to make their way among the youth.”

Among the 19 arrested were seven minors, according to the broadcaster, in addition to three 18-year-olds and a 19-year-old.

Quiles, who is known for his confrontational journalism and campus speaking tours, claimed that the head of the Ertzaina police had warned him of a “very high” risk of an incident, claiming that members of the ETA (Basque Homeland and Liberty) separatist terror group had helped organise the protests against his appearance.

“Given that there are former ETA members, street terrorists, and other criminals leading the protests, the talk is cancelled,” Quiles said. “Freedom of expression is sacred but no more important than protecting the integrity of all the good young people who attend these events and do not deserve to be exposed to violent situations because of a bunch of scum.”

Ukrainian Geography: A Short History of Czars, Commissars, and Crooks

The most egregious lie underlying the UniParty’s proxy war in Ukraine is the claim that the latter is just another innocent sovereign nation suffering unprovoked invasion and despoilment at the hands of the world latest land-grabbing tyrant.

In fact, however, no nation or state by the name of “Ukraine” ever existed on the maps of the world from the middle ages until the 20th century. Only 100 years ago did modern history’s real tyrants—Lenin, Stalin and Khrushchev – arbitrarily draw its borders on the region north of the Black Sea. But the territories impressed into these borders did not serve the cause of nationhood – only the administrative convenience of their own totalitarian rule and similar map-making caprice across the entire 6,000 mile expanse of the Soviet Union.

Moreover, the current Washington narrative holding that Vladimir Putin’s Russian government in Moscow is laying siege to the freedom loving Ukrainian nation centered in Kiev embodies no small irony. That’s because Russia’s actual origin story starts in Kiev more than 1,000 years ago, when the like named “Vladimir the Great” declared the Kievan Rus for Christianity in 988 AD. The great Russian Orthodox extension of Christendom was thereby extended into central Eurasia and eventually became Czarist Russia.

As it happened, Kievan Rus had been the first major East Slavic polity, which took shape in the late 9th and 10th centuries. Viking warrior-traders known as the Rus’ established control over trade routes linking the Baltic to the Black Sea and Byzantium. By the early 10th century, under Prince Oleg and his successors, Kiev on the middle Dnieper River had become the dominant center of the incipient Russian nation.

But the Kievan Rus’ was never a tightly centralized state; rather, it was a loose federation of small principalities whose ruling elite belonged to one of history’s long forgotten dynasties called the Rurikid.

The populations they ruled was predominantly East Slavic, with Finnic, Baltic, and steppe nomadic elements on the periphery. The latter included primitive trading settlements to the northeast in the forested Volga region, which later became the center of Muscovy.

Over subsequent centuries the common language and culture of these East Slavs evolved into the distinct Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian branches which populated the yellow areas of the map below. Kiev itself remained the symbolic and ecclesiastical heart of Rus’ through the 11th and early 12th centuries, the period of its greatest prosperity and cultural flowering under Yaroslav the Wise.

Cautionary Tale: Pittsburgh Is What the Country Will Look Like Under DSA Rule

The City of Pittsburgh and the county in which it is located are fast becoming a major hub for the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). On October 20, Allegheny County became the first county in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to adopt paid parental leave for employees.

The controversial policy forces employers to foot the bill for both parents of newborn babies to receive three months of paid time off. In Allegheny County, not only must employers pay the wages of non-working personnel for up to 12 weeks, but they must also pay for temporary, part-time, or full-time personnel to cover for employees on leave.

In other states that have such policies, they did not place the entire burden on the employer. In California, employees fund the policy 100% through employee payroll tax contributions, managed through the State Disability Insurance program. In Colorado, employers and employees split the funding 50/50. Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Minnesota have similar arrangements. In New Jersey, employees cover 100% of the funding through Family Leave Insurance. And in New York, the policy is 100% employee-funded through payroll deduction, along with insurance coverage that employers buy.

But in Pittsburgh, county leaders joyfully defied public outcry over the proposed totally employer-funded program, as they stuck it to large and small organizations, not just private industry.

Card-carrying members of the DSA infest county government, starting at the top with County Executive Sara Innamorato, who has an ally in Rep. Summer Lee (D-Pa.), a junior varsity member of “The Squad” in Congress.

‘It’s offensively cheap’: How solar power is quietly becoming bigger than nuclear

After defying projections, solar’s dramatic growth means it is now overtaking nuclear as a global power source. Here are seven reasons for solar’s success, and where it might go from here.

The world’s solar power is crossing a threshold. A decade ago, it barely registered on a global scale, providing just 1% of the world’s power. In 2026, it will almost certainly increase to 10% of power, and overtake nuclear, a mainstay of electricity since the late 1970s.

Globally, solar electricity generation quietly overtook nuclear power (just) in 2025, according to statistics from UK-based energy think tank Ember. And BBC analysis of Ember data over the past 12 months up to September 2026 shows it clearly outstripping nuclear, producing 13% more power.

“[Solar] generating more electricity than all the world’s nuclear power plants is a pretty insane stat, for sure,” says Dave Jones, co-founder of Ember.

From China’s vast arrays to a recent solar upsurge driven by escalating oil prices, the incredible rise of solar power has defied all projections. Here are seven ways it has become an apparently “unstoppable force” – and what the future looks like from here.
