Nonprofit Executive Caught Instructing Illegal Alien to Vote in NYC Mayoral Election 

The O’Keefe Media Group on Friday released an undercover video of a nonprofit executive instructing an illegal alien to vote in the New York City Mayoral race.

La Jornada Executive Director Pedro Rodriguez told the OMG undercover journalist posing as an unregistered illegal to “vote for the guy that starts with ‘M’.”

Rodriguez instructed the ‘illegal migrant’ to vote for Mamdani, a Communist Muslim born in Uganda who is running against former Governor Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Zohran Mamdani is a far-left radical who openly admits he will raise property taxes based on skin color – specifically, white people.

“Rodriguez acknowledges knowing the individual is “not registered” before advising him how to vote – a potential violation of federal and state election laws,” the O’Keefe Media Group said.

The O’Keefe Media Group noted that nonprofits are prohibited from participating in any political campaign.

According to New York AG Letitia James: “Charitable organizations, including houses of worship that receive a tax exemption pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), are prohibited from participating in any political campaign on behalf of a candidate for public office.”

This includes: “Making statements in support of, or in opposition to, a candidate or a political party, whether orally, recorded, or in writing, including by in-person distribution, mail, email, text, or posting on social media or the internet;”

INSANITY: Zohran Mamdani Plans to Tax Companies Even if They LEAVE New York City

One question that keeps coming up about Zohran Mamdani’s socialist fever dream for New York City, is how he is going to pay for all of the free stuff that he’s planning to give away.

This becomes especially complicated when you consider that some wealthy people and companies will flee the city if he becomes mayor.

Mamdani apparently has a plan for that. He is going to try to tax companies even if they leave the city. It’s not exactly clear how he plans to enforce this insane idea.

Townhall reports:

We suppose the silver lining of New York electing an avowed Democratic Socialist as mayor is that we’ll get to see how disastrous his socialist policies really are, and that’ll discourage the rest of the nation from voting for socialism. But we won’t pretend that learning that lesson will be hard, especially for the people of New York who didn’t vote for Mamdani.

In his latest tax-grab scheme, Zohran Mamdani vows to tax businesses that leave New York and, it seems, any company that merely does business in New York, even if they’re headquartered elsewhere.

“So the way that this tax works is it applies to any business doing business here. They could be located in Miami, but if they’re doing business in New York, it applies to them,” Mamdani said.

This policy proposal is insane. So insane, in fact, we don’t even know how to wrap our heads around it. That’s hundreds of thousands of businesses, including international ones.

In what world does any of this make sense?

Trump: ‘I Do NOT Want Americans to Go Hungry’ — Seeks Way to Pay SNAP, Gives Out Schumer’s Number

President Donald Trump said Friday he has instructed government lawyers to seek immediate court guidance on how to legally continue payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) amid the ongoing government shutdown, as the program faces imminent funding delays while Democrats refuse to pass a clean spending bill.

“Our Government lawyers do not think we have the legal authority to pay SNAP with certain monies we have available, and now two Courts have issued conflicting opinions on what we can and cannot do,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “I do NOT want Americans to go hungry just because the Radical Democrats refuse to do the right thing and REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.”

The president explained he has instructed lawyers “to ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible,” warning that even with an immediate resolution, benefits may be delayed as states process payments. “If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court,” Trump declared, “it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding, just like I did with Military and Law Enforcement Pay.”

Several days ago, Vice President JD Vance confirmed that U.S. troops would continue receiving paychecks during the shutdown, following a $130 million private donation accepted by the Department of War to cover military salaries.

The message follows warnings that the Democrat-led shutdown could halt November SNAP payments. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) noted Thursday was the Democrats’ “15th chance” to reopen the government, warning that their continued opposition to a clean continuing resolution would cause benefits to “run dry.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture previously cautioned that it lacks sufficient funds to issue November benefits, with a contingency reserve of $5 billion falling short of the $8 billion needed to sustain the program. Several governors, including Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin (R), have declared emergencies over the looming lapse.

The Washington Post editorial board this week faulted Democrats for prolonging the shutdown, writing that it is “wrong that Democrats have held the government hostage” over demands to extend Obamacare subsidies. The paper warned that if the standoff persists, “families could start to go hungry.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), and fellow Democrats, including Sens. Alex Padilla (D-CA), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) have argued that Trump could use emergency funds to continue SNAP, claiming he has “billions” at his disposal but is “choosing not to use them.” Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ), meanwhile, accused Republicans of refusing to negotiate, stating that “Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House” and should “bring the House back into session to work and negotiate for the people they claim to serve.”

Trump rejected that characterization in his Truth Social message Friday: “The Democrats should quit this charade where they hurt people for their own political reasons, and immediately REOPEN THE GOVERNMENT.”

He ended his post by urging Americans who rely on SNAP to pressure Democrats directly: “Call the Senate Democrats, and tell them to reopen the Government, NOW! Here is Cryin’ Chuck Schumer’s Office Number: (202) 224-6542.”

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Into Military Bases Over Assassination Fears

Top Trump officials are moving into military bases near Washington DC over escalating assassination fears.

The move comes amid heightened security fears after the September assassination of Charlie Kirk.

In September TPUSA founder and top conservative Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah at a public event.

Rather than distancing themselves from this gruesome act of violence against a top MAGA mind, many on the left CHEERED and LAUGHED at this brutal murder.

The threats against Trump supporters from the radical left continue to this day. In fact, Democrats are running a candidate in Virginia for Attorney General who fantasized about the  murder of Republican children is running for office in Virginia.

Democrats refused to condemn this deadly threat against children! The party was silent.

Democrats refuse to tamp down on the death threats.

In response to the growing threats of violence, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and others also now live in military housing in the DC area.

There’s more…
The New York Times reported:

Daniel P. Driscoll, the Army secretary, has also moved into military housing, as has the Navy secretary, John Phelan, whose home in Washington was damaged in a fire in May, according to a congressional staff member who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Effort to fast-track permanent daylight saving time bill thwarted: What happens now?

An effort to end the biannual changing of the clocks in the U.S. has once again stalled out in Congress.

Earlier this year, Sen. Rick Scott and Rep. Vern Buchanan, both Republicans from Florida, reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act, previously championed by now-Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Scott’s bill received bipartisan support and a committee hearing, and even advanced out of committee. It would give the necessary federal approval to the states that have passed permanent daylight saving time legislation to begin locking their clocks, while giving other states the option to opt in or out of doing the same.

Scott and other lawmakers took to the Senate floor on Tuesday to try to advance the bill by unanimous consent, Reuters reports. This practice allows legislation to be expedited through the legislative process. Because all members of the chamber have to agree on the bill for it to be successful, it’s usually reserved for legislation expected to have unanimous support.

“This bill is about states’ rights,” Scott said in his remarks on the Senate floor. “It allows the people of each state to choose what best fits their needs and the needs of their families.”

There are states in which year-round daylight saving time could be more enjoyable than others, though health experts believe we should lock our clocks to another permanent time.

While Scott’s bill seemed to have a bright future in the Senate as well as President Donald Trump’s apparent support, it, like its predecessors, has stalled out.

Social Media Uproar Ensues as Footage Emerges Showing Marxist Muslim Candidate for Minneapolis Mayor Pledging Loyalty to Somalia in a Foreign Language While Waving the Nation’s Flag

One of America’s most iconic cities appears to have fallen to the radical Islamist left thanks to unfettered immigration from hostile foreign nations.

On Thursday, a viral video emerged showing 35-year-old Minnesota Democratic State Senator and mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Muslim and son of Somali migrants, smiling and waving his native country’s flag. The footage appears to be from a rally held by Fateh in August at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis.

As one can see, he pledges his complete loyalty to Somalia while speaking in either Somali or Arabic and urging his fans to vote for him in November.

Can you believe this is happening in America?

Seeing this sickening scene infuriated several prominent social media conservatives, who declared this could be the end of Minneapolis and demanded his deportation (Fateh was born in Washington, D.C.).

As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, Fateh previously revealed his Marxist agenda for the city in a social media post back in July.

He called for increasing the minimum wage to $20 “to keep money in working people’s pockets and circulating in our local economy.” However, given that so many small businesses operate on small profit margins and fail to begin with, this would result in mass bankruptcies for those who stay in Minneapolis, while others flee the city.

Fateh also pushed for “rent stabilization,” also known as freezes, to protect workers. This would have the opposite effect, providing no incentive for companies to build additional housing.

Fateh also wants to ‘protect’ all of Minneapolis’s communities from President Donald Trump. To do so, he would refuse to let the Minneapolis Police Department cooperate with ICE, even if there is a raid on criminal aliens.

“Our residents deserve a mayor that will stand up to Donald Trump and say ‘no, not in our community,’” Fateh says.

He would deal with higher crime rates if it meant not interacting with his sworn enemy.

Kash Patel looks to block Tulsi Gabbard’s rise as Trump team intel split intensifies

A sharp divide at the top of America’s national security apparatus is bursting into public view as the FBI has told Congress it ‘strongly’ opposed a plan that would hand the nation’s counterintelligence reins to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The bureau reportedly warned lawmakers against expanding the authority of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, a letter obtained by the New York Times showed. 

Gabbard’s office would gain sweeping new power under the proposal that was shot down by Congress – highlighting growing unease and division across federal agencies.

Gabbard’s team reportedly planned to promote the changes putting them in another letter. In its note, the FBI challenged claims from Gabbard’s office that the broader intelligence community was unified in backing a plan that would place her office at the forefront of counterintelligence operations.

The letter from the FBI added to the growing evidence of strain reported between Gabbard and leaders at other intelligence agencies, particularly FBI Director Kash Patel.

The FBI letter, though unsigned, was confirmed by administration officials to have Patel’s backing before being sent. It pushes back on several counterintelligence roles that Gabbard would assume, employing phrases such as ‘vigorously disagrees with’ and ‘strong objection.’ 

The letter warns that one of the proposed changes would ’cause serious and long-lasting damage to the US national security.’

In a joint statement to Daily Mail, a spokesperson from Gabbard’s office emphasized that they were working together, saying, ‘The ODNI and the FBI are united in working with Congress to strengthen our nation’s counterintelligence efforts to best protect the safety, security, and freedom of the American people.’

An intelligence community official also tells Daily Mail that the FBI’s letter is a ‘preemptive response’ to an ODNI process document. ‘It was drafted as a part of interagency coordination. Deliberative process documents are not final products. Any time there is a disagreement in opinion across the intelligence community, ODNI denotes the discrepancy in final products and accounts for it in all materials before it reaches Congress or others in the Administration.’

According to officials familiar with the matter, the House proposal would effectively place all counterintelligence operations across the nation’s intelligence agencies under Gabbard’s control.

Disgraced ex-Kiama MP Gareth Ward sentenced for sexually abusing two young men

Former New South Wales Liberal minister and independent Kiama MP Gareth Ward has been sentenced to five years and nine months in jail for sexually abusing two young men.

In July Ward was found guilty of sexual intercourse without consent and three counts of indecent assault.

The 44-year-old appeared via audiovisual link from a Hunter correctional facility as Judge Kara Shead handed down the sentence in the Parramatta District Court.

Ward’s offending was against a 24-year-old political staffer in 2015 and an 18-year-old man in 2013.

Both men watched the proceedings via audiovisual link.

Mamdani Leads as Election Day Approaches in High-Stakes NYC Mayoral Race

New York City voters will go to the polls on Nov. 4 to cast their ballots in a three-way mayoral race that could have far-reaching consequences for the city and beyond.

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party nominee who describes himself as a democratic socialist, is heavily favored to win. He faces former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee known for wearing a red beret.

Previously, sitting New York City Mayor Eric Adams was also running for reelection as an independent, but he dropped out on Sept. 28 and backed Cuomo.

Cuomo has repeatedly called for Sliwa to back out of the race. Sliwa has rejected that demand.

Despite his rivals’ efforts to consolidate opposition to the self-described democratic socialist, polling shows that Mamdani is overwhelmingly favored to win the race in America’s largest metropolis.

Mamdani has led by double-digits in every poll of New York City voters taken since July. He has garnered about 45 percent of the vote in recent polls, compared to about 30 percent for Cuomo and roughly 15 percent for Sliwa.

Lawmakers Want Proof of ID Before You Talk to AI

It was only a matter of time before someone in Congress decided that the cure for the internet’s ills was to make everyone show their papers.

The “Guidelines for User Age-verification and Responsible Dialogue Act of 2025,” or GUARD Act, has arrived to do just that.

We obtained a copy of the bill for you here.

Introduced by Senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal, the bill promises to “protect kids” from AI chatbots that allegedly whisper bad ideas into young ears.

The idea: force every chatbot developer in the country to check users’ ages with verified identification.

The senators call it “reasonable age verification.”

That means scanning your driver’s license or passport before you can talk to a digital assistant.

Keeping in mind that AI is being added to pretty much everything these days, the implications of this could be far-reaching.
