#10 Donald Trump Campaign Has Raised Over $200 Million in Just Three Days Since Guilty Felony Verdict, Son Eric Trump Claims - Jon Michael Raasch for Daily Mail, and Collin Rugg on X

The Donald Trump campaign has raised a staggering $200 million since the former president was found guilty of 34 felonies last Thursday, his son Eric Trump said Sunday.  Eric, who is married to The Republican National Committee (RNC) Co-Chair Lara Trump, said she told him the figure was comprised of over $70 million in small-donor fundraising in the three days since his father was found guilty of 34 felonies related to falsifying business records.  'This might be a little inside information, but as I was leaving my house about 37 seconds ago, I asked my wife, what are we up to now?' Eric Trump told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo. And [Lara] said, just in terms of small dollars, we're well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small-dollar donations.' The former president's son continued: 'If you add the large dollar donations to it, you're over $200 million.'

#9 Biden Admin Offers ‘Mass Amnesty’ to Migrants as It Quietly Terminates 350,000 Asylum Cases: Sources - Jennie Taer for The New York Post, and End Wokeness and Collin Rugg on X

While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it’s getting tough on the border, behind the scenes, it’s operating a program of a “mass amnesty” for migrants, The Post can reveal. Data shows that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don’t have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country. This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are “terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim” — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities. The move allows them to legally, indefinitely roam about the US without fear of deportation, effectively letting them slip through the cracks...


#8 Mexico Elects Claudia Sheinbaum as Its First Female President - Maria Verza AND Mark Stevenson for AP News and Dra. Claudia Sheinbaum and Breanna Morello on X

Mexico’s projected presidential winner Claudia Sheinbaum will become the first female president in the country’s 200-year history. Sheinbaum, the favored successor of outgoing President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, vowed to continue in the direction set by the populist leftist leader. But the cool-tempered scientist offers a sharp contrast in style — and a break with Mexico’s male-dominated political culture. “I promise that I am not going to let you down,” Sheinbaum said, greeting supporters in Mexico City’s colonial-era main plaza, the Zocalo. The National Electoral Institute’s president said Sheinbaum had between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, while opposition candidate Xóchitl Gálvez had between 26.6% and 28.6% and Jorge Álvarez Máynez had between 9.9% and 10.8% of the vote. Sheinbaum’s Morena party was also projected to hold its majorities in both chambers of Congress...

#5 The Mind Virus Ideology - Vaughan Cordle

The Left's "woke" ideology is an authoritarian agenda that has infected academia, AI, corporations, and government, indoctrinating society with neo-Marxist ideology that undermines democracy. Elon Musk's feared "woke mind virus" describes the insidious progressive ideology pushing a Marxist agenda in America. Their goals are clear -- infinitely expanding the welfare state, opening borders indiscriminately to import an endless underclass, silencing dissent through censorship and abusive lawfare, and dividing the nation into a Manichean struggle of oppressed vs. oppressor tribes. It's the Left's grand scheme to secure permanent one-party rule, stripping democracy of any meaningful choice. Who scripts the algorithms shaping artificial intelligence? Ideological progressives imbued with corrosive "woke" dogma, not rational centrists or conservatives. Even if the AI code itself is politically agnostic in origin, the programmers "teaching" these systems are indoctrinating them, wittingly or unwittingly, with a deeply partisan worldview -- by only exposing AI to a steady diet of progressive propaganda posing as objective truth...

#2 DeSantis Puts Rivalry Aside, Delivers Fiery Message After Trump's Guilty Verdict - 'Kangaroo Court' - Johnathan Jones for The Western Journal, and Florida Voice on X

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a rival to former President Donald Trump in this year’s Republican presidential primary race, laid into the New York legal system in a lengthy statement on Thursday evening after Trump was convicted on 34 felony charges in Manhattan.

And Now for Something Special smiley

I Only Eat Eggs, Bacon, Beef’: 720-Pound Man Loses 300 Pounds on Carnivore Diet Rejected by MDs - Michael Wing for Epoch Times Bright, and Cary Kelly on X

In August, another gnarly “before and after” diet picture appeared on Instagram. A bearded man with a sparkle in his eye and a liberated smile is enjoying life after slimming down 270 pounds in 17 months. It’s all too easy to contrast his new glow with the hopeless, empty eyes, morbidly obese face, and oxygen tubes protruding from his former sick self, a picture of health and life next to imminent death. He claims a diet of primal simplicity saved him. “Carnivore Diet Transformations” is plastered across the page. As are piles of marbled red meat cuts on wooden chopping blocks, more before and after photos, and carnivorous memes poking fun at globalists and vegans...
