Trump uses government shutdown to dole out firings and political punishment
President Donald Trump has seized on the government shutdown as an opportunity to reshape the federal workforce and punish detractors, saying he planned to meet with budget director Russ Vought to talk through “temporary or permanent” spending cuts that could set up a lose-lose dynamic for Democratic lawmakers.

And where will it lead?

Fear in Manchester ‘like during the Holocaust’
He says, “We are experiencing antisemitism in an abnormal way. There is fear of walking the streets, people are scared, they endure shouts and curses. It is terribly sad that people live like this. We continue in any case, but some people go out less, people take off their kippah and Stars of David so that they will not be identified as Jews. On the other hand there are those who walk around with an Israeli flag and come to synagogues on Shabbat even though they would not usually come, to show that the Jewish people are still here. It is complicated.”

Canada Issues First-Ever Jail Sentence for Holocaust Denial
A court in North Bay, Ontario, sentenced Kenneth Paulin, 51, to nine months behind bars and two years of probation after finding him guilty of willfully promoting hatred against Jews and “condoning, denying, or downplaying the Holocaust.” Crown prosecutors confirmed that the ruling on Sept. 18 marked the first time in Canadian history that someone has received imprisonment specifically for denying the historical reality of the Nazi genocide against the Jewish people. Authorities said his assortment of social media posts and videos targeted Jews with slurs, conspiracy theories, and calls to violence. He called Jews “demons” and said they are “to blame for every American who falls.” He condemned Jews as responsible for “almost 100 percent” of the world’s problems. He even called for a “Worldwide Jew Hunt”

While Americans Sleep, There Is Concern That Canada, The United Kingdom And Europe Continue To Implement “The Beast System”
Would you like to live in a country where the government could secretly cut off your phone and Internet service if you are accused of spreading “misinformation”?  Or how about a country where you must submit to a digital identification system if you want to get a job?  We live at a time when our liberties are being eroded in countless ways.  If we do not stand up and speak out now, those that are seeking to take our liberties away will just continue to push the envelope.  Eventually, we could find ourselves living in a “Beast system” society in which we don’t have any liberties left at all.

Bounties Are Being Put On The Heads Of Federal Agents As America’s Domestic Terror Crisis Escalates
“Chaos has erupted on the streets of America. We used to talk about civil unrest and political violence as threats that would be coming in the future, but now they have become reality. And of course the domestic terror crisis that we are now dealing with is just one element of “the perfect storm” that we are now facing. As economic conditions continue to deteriorate and as global events continue to go haywire, domestic terrorism will get even worse. The groups that are committing acts of domestic terror are very highly organized, and they are recruiting more crazed lunatics with each passing day.”

The group of agents were conducting their routine patrol near 39th Place and South Kedzie Avenue in the city’s South Side “when they were attacked and rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars,” the Department of Homeland Security said. “The officers exited their trapped vehicle, when a suspect tried to run them over, forcing the officers to fire defensively,” according to DHS, which called the incident “an evolving situation” and noted FBI agents were currently on the scene. The suspect, who is a U.S. citizen, was armed with a semi-automatic weapon

Judges have been participating in an “educational programme” to convince them to side with climate activists in state and federal cases.

The Milky Way has a Colossal Wave Rippling Through It, Astronomers Say
The images show that this wave of motion emanates from the center of the Milky Way and takes up a large portion — a little less than half — of the galaxy’s entire body, which itself is warped in the outer edges. Looking at the galaxy in a vertical sideways view, you see that stars float above or below the disc’s dusty central body, as if they were fish bobbing up and down in a wave of water after a boat passes by.

Portland’s dystopia delusion coming to a city near all of us
The most amazing thing about Portland isn’t actually how far left-wing it is. Everyone has seen episodes or clips from the TV show “Portlandia.” It’s how sure the people there are that everything is fine, that occasionally walking past dead bodies on the sidewalk is a normal American experience. “At a Portland concert last night, I heard a guy give the ‘every city is like that, bro’ to an out-of-town couple who had a rough experience in our city,” she began, adding, “The wife was like, ‘No, I work in downtown Detroit, and it’s not like that.’ I was there this year and agree. It’s much cleaner.”

Leftists And Globalists Have Merged Into The Same Horrific Entity

Anyone who thinks that conflict is avoidable is delusional. Anyone who thinks the division is “artificial” or a “false left/right paradigm” is naive. It is very real, tangible and undeniable. Leftists WANT the power to destroy conservatives. They want control and they want to see blood. It’s the thing that subconsciously drives every political decision they make.

Why Did Dozens Of U.S. Military Aircraft Recently Fly To The Middle East? (Hint: It Had Nothing To Do With Hamas)
Now that it appears that the war in Gaza is ending, all eyes are on Iran. The Israeli government believes that lasting peace in the Middle East will not be possible until the threat that Iran poses is completely neutralized, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it exceedingly clear that the Iranians will not be permitted to rebuild their nuclear program. Unfortunately, that is precisely what the Iranians are attempting to do, and the Iranian government has indicated that there will be no negotiations with the United States as long as Trump’s campaign of “maximum pressure” remains in place. So the clock is ticking, and many expect Iran to get bombed again sooner rather than later. But once missiles start flying back and forth, events may unfold a lot differently than a lot of the experts were anticipating.
