Alaska Governor Orders CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION Into Mary Peltola Campaign Over Alleged Democrat Scheme to DECEIVE VOTERS With Fake Dan Sullivan Candidate

Alaska Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has ordered a state investigation into Democrat Mary Peltola’s U.S. Senate campaign following explosive new reporting that aides and national Democrat operatives worked to recruit a candidate sharing the name of incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in an apparent bid to siphon votes and confuse Alaskans.

In a statement posted early Thursday, Dunleavy cited the New York Times report published Wednesday, writing that it “reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates, including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator, to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes.”

He noted that the Alaska Division of Elections had already examined related concerns in June and that the new reporting “substantially supports the Division’s findings.”

Dunleavy directed the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether the alleged scheme violated state laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted.

Dunleavy wrote on X:

“Today’s New York Times reporting reveals disturbing new evidence of an organized effort to manipulate Alaska’s elections by recruiting candidates—including one with the same name as an incumbent U.S. Senator—to deliberately confuse voters and misdirect their votes. The Alaska Division of Elections investigated these very concerns in June of this year. The new reporting substantially supports the Division’s findings.

I am therefore directing the Department of Public Safety to investigate whether this scheme violated Alaska’s laws and whether criminal charges or civil action are warranted. The evidence will determine what happens next.

Alaskans have a fundamental right to vote for the candidate they actually intend to support. Deliberately tricking voters into casting their ballots for someone else strikes at the integrity of our elections.

Anyone or any organization found to have broken the law must be held accountable.”

France’s Senate Approves Bill Expanding Police Powers Over Online Speech

France’s Senate has approved a bill that was originally tabled as a means to make rioters pay for the damages they cause – but ended up with provisions that are meant to allow for faster removal of online content at the police’s behest, ban people from social media for committing protest-related offenses, allow the police to fly as many drones as they want equipped with cameras, and use AI to analyze footage from those drones, as well as from CCTV cameras.

All this was added to the “casseurs-payeurs” (rioters-pay) bill in the form of amendments, which senators approved on October 27 by 229 votes to 105. The bill was first submitted on September 16, and it had only five articles that made no mention of any of these issues.

The government’s use of the accelerated procedure means that after one reading in the National Assembly, the bill can go to a joint committee of both chambers.

All the quotes below are from the Senate’s record of the debate, translated from French.

“Social networks can contribute decisively to violence and damage, in particular through the dissemination of content calling for these offenses to be committed,” is how the government justified its amendment that was adopted with 219 votes to 115.

The amendment allows the administrative authority, rather than a judge, to order platforms and hosts to remove content that is seen as provoking crimes such as attacks on life, theft and destruction, where it is likely to cause a serious disturbance of public order.

If a host fails to remove such content within 24 hours, it will face six months in prison and a 150,000 euro fine, or up to two percent of its worldwide turnover for a company. The authority will also be able to have the site blocked and removed from search results.

The request goes to a designated reviewer, rather than a judge, before the content is removed.

The original filing of the amendment had a one-hour emergency procedure for content that calls for “an attack, for insurrection or for arming against the State” – but Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez pulled it in the chamber, saying, “I have just rectified my amendment so that we can secure the emergency procedure during the shuttle [between chambers], in view of risks regarding [EU-law] conformity and constitutionality.”

So this provision is expected to be back later in the legislative process.

Scandal-plagued prosecutor charges James O’Keefe and Cam Higby with felonies for exposing shocking flaws in voter system

A scandal-plagued Democrat prosecutor in Minnesota has announced she is bringing charges against James O’Keefe, founder of O’Keefe Media Productions, and Cam Higby, for an election system flaw-exposing stunt there.

They posed as Muslims and confirmed that Minnesota allows a single person who is a registered voter to “vouch” for up to eight more people, who are not registered, so they are allowed to have their votes counted.

The announcement came from Mary Moriarty, now the Hennepin County attorney.

She said the charges are for “unlawful voting and identity theft” and claimed, “Polling places are the heart of our democracy. Any attempt to disrupt or deceive our election workers will not be tolerated.

It was because O’Keefe dressed in Muslim garb and went to a polling station during the primary, asking about other people, not registered, having their votes count.

He was told he was their ID.

O’Keefe asked about the vouching system: “I can vouch for them. They are not registered…” and he was told, “That’s okay. That’s fine. Yeah!”

“If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people,” he was told.

Speech Crime? 21- Year Old Montana Man Faces Felony Charges, Up to Five Years in Prison After Allegedly Telling Indian to “Go Back to His Country”

A 21-year-old man in Montana has been charged with a felony after allegedly telling an Indian man to “go back to his country,” according to court documents.

As reported by the Billings Gazette, Jaxton Tayte Collins, 21, was arraigned on Tuesday in the Lewis and Clark County District Court over the August 7 incident.

He is accused of shoving the alleged victim and faces one misdemeanor count of assault but also a felony charge of malicious intimidation or harassment of civil or human rights.

According to Montana statute:

A person commits the offense of malicious intimidation or harassment when, because of another person’s race, creed, religion, color, national origin, or involvement in civil rights or human rights activities, the person purposely or knowingly, with the intent to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy, or offend:

(a) causes bodily injury to another;

(b) causes reasonable apprehension of bodily injury in another; or

(c) damages, destroys, or defaces any property of another or any public property.

Now, because of a hate-crime charge, Collins faces five years in prison.

More from the Billings Gazette:

The complainant told officers he was walking with friends when a man in an orange shirt and wearing a large cross necklace approached his friend, who is of Indian descent and wears a head covering, the affidavit states.

The man, later identified as Collins, allegedly shoved the friend with both hands and “told him to go back to his country,” according to the court documents. Witnesses told officers the incident was “frightening” and described it as an “attack.”

When more officers arrived, they located Collins nearby. He told them he had been drinking at a downtown bar and admitted that after leaving, he shouted at the victim “to go back to his own country because he was angry,” the affidavit states. Collins denied shoving the victim.

Collins’ next hearing is scheduled for April 8. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Democrat Activist Judge Allows Honduran Illegal Alien Who Shot Tennessee Man in the Face to Walk with Probation, ICE Takes Him Into Custody

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested Aldo David Herrera-Andino, a 22-year-old illegal alien from Honduras who was released into the United States under the Biden administration’s catch-and-release policies, after he pleaded guilty to shooting a Tennessee man in the face and leaving him fighting for his life.

ICE announced the arrest on Tuesday, stating that Herrera-Andino had been convicted of felony reckless aggravated assault in Davidson County and received just five years of probation.

“Herrera-Andino shot a man in the face, left him fighting for his life, and fled the scene,” ICE spokesperson Micah Bock told Breitbart News. “He later admitted to the shooting and pleaded guilty to felony aggravated assault.”

“Violent offenders like Herrera-Andino have no business remaining in our communities,” Bock added. “ICE will continue holding them accountable and removing those who threaten Americans. The Trump administration’s message is simple: If you come to this country illegally and commit violent crimes, ICE will find you, arrest you, and pursue your removal.”

Herrera-Andino illegally crossed the border and was arrested by Border Patrol agents in March 2021 before being released into the country under Biden-era policies, according to ICE and reporting from Breitbart News.

The shooting occurred during an altercation at a residence on Preserve Circle in Nashville.

As the AI Bubble Threatens to Burst, We Must Prepare to Fight a Big Tech Bailout

AI data centers are unpopular for good reason: they drive up utility costs for communities, crowd out everything from schools to family farms, and they’re bad for our health. But these data centers are also a financial crisis in slow motion.

The AI ecosystem is built on mountains of debt taken on not only by tech firms like Meta (which borrowed a record-breaking $25 billion in late 2025 to fund the building of data centers), but also by the companies that lease data center space to the Big Tech firms. Many of these firms have spent far more than they have come close to earning in profits: One estimate puts tech industry spending to build data centers at $1.9 trillion, but less than half of that money has been made in revenue.

The financial markets are taking notice.

There’s been significant turmoil in the tech sector over the past month — and at one critical company in particular: CoreWeave.

CoreWeave used to be a Bitcoin mining firm called Atlantic Crypto, but it started to pivot to AI in 2019. CoreWeave leases space to Big Tech firms at data centers they build and maintain. CoreWeave has paid for most of its data centers by borrowing: it currently owes more than $51 billion to investors, including two of the most infamous financial firms: Magnetar and Blackstone, as documented by journalist Elizabeth Lopatto at The Verge.

Apple Supports Digital ID Push With Facial Age Estimation

Apple is increasing its support of the digital ID age verification agenda and has released iOS 27.2, bringing a new way for Apple to verify your age: by scanning your face with an “age-estimation model” that will be fed by a selfie.

This is one of the ways in which Apple will check the age of its users, and it applies, as the company’s support page states, “Where required by law.”

The legal requirements that make this necessary in the US apply in Texas, and elsewhere in the world in Australia, Brazil, Singapore, South Korea, and the UK. The iOS update that introduces the new method of age verification was released on October 26.

Apple will ask for age verification when you create an Apple Account, “update the software on your device, try to change certain safety settings, or try to download or purchase apps with an age rating of 18+.”

In Australia, Brazil, Singapore, and the UK, the selfie option is available, while in other places, Apple will ask for a credit card, a scan of an ID, or look at information associated with an Apple Account.

Apple’s explains that the selfie option works by letting the user “Capture all four angles of your face by moving your head slowly right, left, up, and down.” To increase the likelihood of the scan being successful, the company advises users to “Remove anything that might cover your face, such as masks, hats, or sunglasses” and to “Make sure only your face is in the frame.”

The models that will be used to estimate age from these selfies will run “both on-device and on Private Cloud Compute,” Apple says, referring to a service it provides that “extends the security and privacy of your Apple device into the cloud.” The results will then be “combined on your device.”

Apple promises that the selfie “isn’t accessible to anyone, not even Apple,” and that “Once your age is confirmed, your selfie is deleted and isn’t retained in any form.”

Apple has not revealed the accuracy of the age-estimation model, what happens when it misidentifies an adult as a minor, or what record of the result is kept by the company. Those who are not verified as at least 18 by the model are advised to either try another selfie or use another method.

The other methods Apple will use to determine age are: looking at information associated with the user’s account, such as whether they have a credit card on file or how long they have had their Apple Account; and scanning an ID. The image of the ID is “kept for a short period of time to complete this process, after which it’s deleted,” Apple says, and adds that “Debit cards and gift cards aren’t supported.”

Egyptian Parliament Authorizes Troops to Defend Saudi Arabia

The Egyptian Parliament on Monday voted to give President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi the authority to deploy troops to Saudi Arabia, where they would help the kingdom repel attacks from the Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen.

Sisi requested the authority to deploy troops last week, offering assurances that the deployment would be purely defensive in nature. Officials in Sisi’s administration have stressed that Egyptian soldiers would remain on Saudi soil and would not be directly involved in attacks on Houthi targets in Yemen.

On October 18, Sisi chaired a meeting of his National Defense Council, which includes Egypt’s top ministers and military officials. The Council passed a resolution of solidarity with Saudi Arabia and pledged to support its security and sovereignty.

The Egyptian constitution stipulates that military deployments outside the national border require approval from Parliament, and on Monday, two-thirds of Egyptian lawmakers voted to authorize the mission to Saudi Arabia. A notable exception was the caucus from Egypt’s Social Democratic Party, which abstained from the vote because it said not enough details had been provided about the cost and objectives of the mission.

The Saudi government has yet to make an official request for Egyptian support.

Egypt is part of a loose four-way alliance with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, and Egypt known as the “Regional 4” or “R4,” and Cairo is seen as a close ally and potential future member of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement, which was signed by the other three R4 governments in August 2026.

High school student arrested after being accused of attempting to make explosives for ISIS

A 15-year-old high school student in Alachua County, Florida, was arrested after an investigation by local authorities and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) purportedly discovered that he was attempting to build explosives for a terrorist organization.

The Alachua County Sheriff’s Office (ACSO) and FBI conducted a joint search on Friday at the home of 15-year-old Jude Sleeper, after investigators discovered he was communicating online with members and supporters of the Islamist terrorist group ISIS.

Sleeper was charged with making or attempting to make a destructive device after authorities discovered he was seeking advice on how to build drones and explosives to attack people at an unknown location. Additional charges are possible as the investigation continues, ACSO and the FBI noted on Tuesday.

The ACSO office also added that they spoke with the15-year-old’s parents, who allowed police to search their home and their child’s phone.

Upon searching Sleeper’s phone, they reportedly found files containing instructions for making explosive devices and chemical compounds — as well as ISIS-related content and propaganda.

Inside his bedroom, investigators found two jars. Sleeper reportedly admitted they contained chemicals used to manufacture triacetone triperoxide (TATP), a highly volatile explosive. The residence was immediately evacuated, and the ACSO Bomb Squad responded to secure the scene and evaluate the hazardous materials.

Once the home was rendered safe, ACSO detectives obtained and executed a second search warrant.
