Trump Supporter Stabbed At Rally; Police Release New Details

A chaotic confrontation outside President Donald Trump’s Ohio rally sparked claims that a supporter had been stabbed, but local police are pushing back, revealing that the apparent weapon was actually an officer’s pocketknife caught in the man’s shirt.

The incident unfolded Wednesday evening outside the Shoemaker Center at Ohio University Chillicothe, where Trump was addressing supporters ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Video circulating across social media appeared to show a knife protruding from a man’s back as frightened onlookers gathered around him and demanded answers.

But the Chillicothe Police Department says the alarming footage does not show a stabbing.

“There was no stabbing,” police Capt. Micheal Short told Newsweek.

According to authorities, an officer was attempting to separate two individuals involved in an altercation when the retention clip on the officer’s pocketknife became tangled in one person’s shirt.

The department confirmed that the knife never opened, contradicting widespread claims that someone had been attacked with a blade.

The explanation came after footage of the confrontation spread online, prompting accusations of political violence against Trump supporters.

Conservative activist Tyler Bowyer was among those who shared the video, initially suggesting that an anti-Trump individual had stabbed a rally attendee.

“Apparently some crazy anti-Trump person stabbed a Trump supporter outside his rally in Ohio,” Bowyer wrote.

“This is more of the insane political violence stoked by the Left. Pray for the person who was stabbed.”

However, police have not substantiated the allegation that an anti-Trump demonstrator stabbed anyone during the confrontation.

The viral recording captured the confusion surrounding the incident as the man questioned officers about what appeared to be lodged in his clothing.

“Is there a knife in my back?” he asked.

“I think I’ve been stabbed.”

An officer subsequently examined the man’s back with a flashlight while nearby spectators reacted to the unusual scene.

One woman exclaimed, “Oh my god” after noticing the knife handle protruding from the man’s black T-shirt.

Another bystander pointed toward someone nearby and demanded, “Arrest that m**********, he stabbed him.”

The confusion quickly escalated into a confrontation between spectators and officers as people demanded that someone be taken into custody.

The man eventually sat along the sidewalk while witnesses continued recording the scene.

Hackers Dump Records on Over 41,000 DHS Employees, Including Undercover ICE Agents

A group calling itself the “Department of Peace” has released a massive trove of records on more than 41,000 Department of Homeland Security employees and contractors, including names, cellphone numbers, email addresses, office locations, membership in internal groups tied to undercover operations, wiretap programs, and surveillance tools.

The transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets published the archive under the name “Icepick” on Wednesday after receiving the material from the “Department of Peace,” which claims it obtained the data from DHS’s Okta single sign-on login system.

The records were last updated on August 19, 2026, and cover DHS headquarters along with agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

WIRED, which reviewed the data dump, reported that the leak maps out organizational structure, reporting lines, facility locations, and permission groups for sensitive programs.

The report noted, “The Trump administration has prosecuted protesters for posting information about individual ICE officers and warned others for doing so. In June, 15 Minnesota residents were charged under laws related to stalking and threats of violence, which prosecutors linked to their participation in ICE-opposition activities. More than 100 HSI agents, including undercover operatives, took part in an operation that included widespread surveillance and infiltration of group chats.”

The BBC reports:

Most of the agents included, more than 21,000 of them, work for CBP, according to the data. Nearly 6,600 work for ICE.

Other records show agents with Homeland Security Investigations, the Federal Protective Service and even people working for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

The leaked information also included dozens of previously unknown operation names, the agents that led and worked on those operations, and some of the technology they used in their work, including tech provided by Cellbrite and Palantir.

The hackers left a note with the files stating, “They have our information, so it’s only fair that we have theirs.”

DEA whistleblower says agency allowed millions of fentanyl pills on the streets

As New Mexico officials sounded alarms this month about a growing fentanyl crisis, a veteran Drug Enforcement Administration agent has alleged the agency has contributed to the problem by allowing the deadly pills to reach the streets.

“For three years, I’ve told my DEA managers that we’re allowing dangerous amounts of fentanyl to hit the street, and we’re doing nothing to stop it, and they didn’t listen to me,” DEA Special Agent David Howell told CBS News in his first television interview.

Howell, who is still an active agent, claims the agency tasked with enforcing federal drug laws has allowed millions of fentanyl pills to “walk” — a tactic in which investigators allow drug traffickers to distribute their product and then follow the trail to build bigger cases.

But because fentanyl is so lethal, Howell said the tactic has done more harm than good.

“We at the DEA have let drugs hit the street, yes. The difference was we were told not to with fentanyl,” he said.

In 2023, Howell was part of a team tracking a suspect in Albuquerque from the air. Images obtained by CBS News from congressional investigators on the House Oversight Committee showed a person driving a white SUV picking up a child.

Democrats Want Me In Jail For A Post Explaining Election Security

The Democrats’ leading practitioner of weaponizing the government to attack political opponents, Marc Elias, recently called for my prosecution because I wrote on X that President Trump should exercise existing federal authority to make sure that electronic voting machines are not hacked or compromised in the midterm elections.

I argued on X that those who are demanding that President Trump declare a national emergency regarding the voting machines are asking him to do something he’s already done. On May 15, 2019, he invoked the National Emergencies Act of 1976 as the basis for issuing Executive Order 13873. That order authorizes the commerce secretary, after consultation with other federal officials, to restrict certain information and communications technology and services (ICTS) transactions involving foreign adversaries, including China, when they pose specified national security risks. It aimed to eliminate or mitigate vulnerabilities in various categories of technology and U.S. critical infrastructure, which includes elections.

Since then, the U.S. Department of Commerce developed and promulgated regulations implementing the order, which became effective in February 2024.

Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has authority under ICTS regulations to require mitigation of threats to critical infrastructure. Elections are “critical infrastructure” thanks to President Obama and his secretary of Homeland Security in 2017. Because all electronic voting systems used in America’s elections are made in whole or in part in China, the ICTS regulations most certainly apply to voting machines.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, in an Aug. 24 letter to the White House, specifically noted the urgent need to mitigate threats to America’s elections infrastructure. That action, along with statements from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and President Trump’s primetime speech on election security in July 2026, provide all the necessary conditions for Commerce Secretary Lutnick to take action.

Ugandan serial cannibal butchered, ate 38 people over 15-year reign of terror, general claims

Soldiers in Uganda caught an alleged serial killer cannibal who is accused of killing and eating 38 people over his savage 15-year spree, authorities said.

Mujurizi Moses is the “worst serial killer and cannibal in Uganda’s history” who devoured body parts of dozens of victims victims between 2010 and 2025, the country’s defense chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba alleged on Monday.

The machete-wielding maniac is accused of slaughtering a pastor and his family, a witchdoctor, eight of his own relatives, and an elderly woman hacked to death in front of her two grandchildren, according to the Daily Monitor, a Ugandan outlet.

Mujurizi — who police believe was also working as a contract killer — would allegedly break through the walls of family homes, butcher everyone inside, and eat their body parts, the outlet said.

He also allegedly lured women into romantic relationships before slaughtering them, according to local reports.

“We will try him in public, and definitely execute him,” Muhoozi wrote on X.

Mujurizi may have killed even more people.

New York Bans Artificial Intelligence Features for Children

New York’s governor has signed a law that bans artificial intelligence (AI) operators from offering certain chatbot features to minors.

Prohibited features include responses that suggest the chatbot is “a real or fictional individual or character that is human, alive, or experiences human emotions.” Responses that engage in flattery or sycophancy, endorse suicide and drug use, and encourage isolation from adults are also barred.

“No longer will minors have access to chatbots that pretend to be their friends and boyfriends and girlfriends,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said at a signing ceremony on Oct. 28.

“No longer will chatbots be allowed to keep sensitive information about a minor’s emotional and physical health. No longer will chatbots discourage kids from seeking help from licensed professionals. And I’m not sure why we have to pass a law against something so obvious, but no longer will minors have access to chatbots that may in any way encourage thoughts of suicide.”

The law authorizes New York’s attorney general to sue in response to indications of violations and seek relief, including money from the chatbot operators and the destruction of illegally obtained data.

“We will not hesitate to defend New Yorkers with the full force of the law,” New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

New York legislators approved the bill earlier this year, and it takes effect on Jan. 1, 2027.

“For everyone wondering whether the public can have any say in determining how AI impacts us, New York again has an answer: Absolutely,” Assemblyman Alex Bores, a Democrat who voted for the legislation, said in a statement.

Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that supports restrictions on AI, was among the groups praising the legislation.

Iran, the Midterms, and the Myth of Government by the People

With the Israeli election this week and America’s midterms next Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly spent weeks debating not whether to restart their war with Iran, but when they should do it.

Netanyahu reportedly wanted to renew the bombing before Israeli or American voters went to the polls. He has officially denied that, but it fits his well-documented strategy of using an ongoing war to shield himself from political and legal accountability.

Trump, meanwhile, has publicly ruled out another US attack until after November 3. But, according to several recent reports, the two governments are genuinely preparing for another major round of strikes once the American election is over.

Already, this episode has made the narrative put forward by both leaders even more ridiculous. After all, if renewed attacks on Iran are as necessary to protect the American people, as both have claimed, why would that necessity depend on whether those people have already voted?

The truth is, as I laid out here earlier this year, that the war on Iran is not a drastic but necessary measure to thwart an imminent threat from a rogue regime. It’s just another military action, on top of all the others our government is carrying out, that is beneficial for a coalition of unique, well-connected interest groups—from the Israeli politicians who want to direct American power towards weakening their main regional rival to the domestic weapons companies getting paid to restock America’s dwindling munitions stockpiles.

The narrative that Iran is months or even weeks away from starting a nuclear war with two far more heavily-armed nuclear powers; that they are not just willing but are actively trying as hard as they can to sacrifice their entire country to take out a few Israeli and American cities; and that this will be carried out with weapons and weapons-delivery technology that they do not possess and are not close to getting is obviously not the truth. But it is the most effective way the pro-war coalition has discovered so far for getting a sufficient portion of the public to at least passively accept a war they all want for reasons they’re not as willing to publicize.

That effectiveness, however, has clearly waned in recent months. Today, around two-thirds of Americans disapprove of Trump’s Iran policy, with widespread concerns growing about the impact on energy prices and all the terrible consequences that brings. This is a deeply unpopular war. And yet, it is set not only to continue but to escalate in the coming weeks.

This also highlights another, even more important aspect of this story that is getting far less attention than the war’s unpopularity: the sheer inadequacy of democratic elections as constraints on political power.

According to the standard narrative that most of us are taught growing up, for most of human history people have suffered under kings, oligarchs, and rulers of all kinds who used political power selfishly. Wealth and power were concentrated in the hands of a small sliver of society, while everyone else was forced to live in either literal servitude or material conditions no better than servitude. However, this was supposed to have changed with the invention of democracy.

Florida governor candidate David Jolly suggests boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams

David Jolly, a former Republican congressman who is now running as a Democrat against U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds to replace Ron DeSantis as Florida governor, is raising eyebrows in the Sunshine State with his suggestion that boys have a constitutional right to play on girls’ sports teams.

His comments came during the “To the Contrary” podcast Charlie Sykes last year, and were unearthed Wednesday by Libs of TikTok.

Sykes had asked Jolly outright: “How do you navigate that issue?”

“I fundamentally think it’s an issue for the courts,” the Democrat replied. “And I don’t think one rule should apply to everything.”

“I think some latitude among the sports leagues to make decisions, but ultimately, it’s a constitutional question that the courts are gonna have to decide.”

Jolly continued: “I think where I fundamentally diverge from Republicans on this issue is you can immediately see where leaders and voters are either working in good faith towards equity or in bad faith against it. This is a new and novel moment for us as a country.

“It’s OK to wrestle with it. But you’re either wrestling to resolve it on behalf of all Americans, their fundamental and constitutional rights, their respect and their dignity, or you’re working to humiliate them. And I think it’s pretty disgusting what we’ve seen from Republicans in the past several years on this.

“I don’t think we need to knock down that youth soccer player who is working with their family and their doctor on whatever their current crisis is personally. I think it can be supportive of them to allow them to play in youth sports.

“If it’s a question of Olympic trials, obviously I think you get too far down the road there saying, Maybe it’s a bridge too far to let trains athletes in certain sports, but let’s leave it to the sports leagues.”

Donalds is a staunch opponent of biological males competing in girls’ or women’s sports, and his campaign posted video Wednesday of the Republican blasting Jolly’s stance.

“My opponent’s somebody who says it’s OK for boys to be in girls’ sports. It’s just him and the WNBA,” Donalds said.

“They’re the only two that think this is OK. Everybody else has said, ‘No, that’s actually quite stupid.’ Even the Europeans are realizing that’s dumb. But this is where the radical Democrats have gone in America today, and it’s sad to see.”

Germany’s Political Justice? AfD Lawmaker Convicted Over Innocent Family Protection Poster

Imagine running for office on a promise to protect families — and ending up with a criminal record because of a photograph of parents shielding their children.

That is what happened to Wilko Möller, a lawmaker from Germany’s right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

His alleged offense? Distributing a campaign poster featuring a mother and father forming a protective roof with their arms over three children.

The slogan read: “We Protect Your Children.”

German prosecutors argued that the father’s raised right arm looked like a Nazi salute.

Now, Germany’s highest criminal court has upheld Möller’s conviction.

The price: €11,600 and a criminal record.

A Family Photo Becomes a Criminal Offense

The controversy began during the 2024 state election campaign in Brandenburg, eastern Germany.

Möller’s campaign used a commercially available stock photograph showing two adults protecting three children beneath their raised arms.

The image was digitally mirrored by the advertising agency preparing the poster.

That detail became central to the prosecution.

In the original photograph, the man raised his left arm. After the image was reversed, he appeared to raise his right arm.

Under German law, the Nazi salute is prohibited. The ban also covers gestures deemed confusingly similar to it.

Prosecutors argued that the mirrored photograph crossed that legal boundary.

The Regional Court in Frankfurt (Oder) agreed.

Carney calls the Indian Act racist in French, then backs away from scrapping it in English

On Tuesday’s live stream, Sheila Gunn Reid and Lise Merle discussed Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew’s call to abolish the Indian Act and Prime Minister Mark Carney’s shifting answer on whether Ottawa will do it.

Kinew raised the issue on Monday at a meeting in Ottawa of first ministers and First Nations leaders. He held up his own status card, which identifies him as “an Indian within the meaning of the Indian Act.”

“I’m not sure if that lines up with your vision of Canada, that we still have a race-based form of identification in this country, but this is a reality,” Kinew said. “I think it’s time to abolish the Indian Act, get rid of the Indian Act, move past the Indian Act.”

He said the change “needs to be done with First Nations people and First Nations governments,” and that his proposal got an “open-minded reception” from other leaders in the closed-door meeting.

The Indian Act, first passed in 1876, still governs who has Indian status, how reserve land is managed and how band governments operate. Reserve land is held by the Crown for the use of the band, so most First Nations people living on reserve cannot own their homes or land outright.

On Monday, Carney said he was “very open to” abolishing or modernizing the Act, CFJC reported. Speaking in French, he called it a racist law, according to The Globe and Mail.

On Tuesday, a reporter noted that critics say the government “consults to death” and asked Carney why he was comfortable saying he wanted to abolish the Act without consulting First Nations communities. “That is exactly what I did not say,” Carney replied.

He said the issues are “deep, complex, sensitive” and that any reform, including potential abolition, would need a “co-developed” process, which the federal government is open to. “That’s very different than saying, I, we are going to do X. We are not saying that at all,” he said.

Previous attempts to scrap the Act have failed. Pierre Trudeau’s government proposed abolishing it in its 1969 White Paper, then withdrew the plan after strong opposition from First Nations leaders.
