"It will be livestreamed. Details will follow," a War Department official told Fox News Digital. The execution is scheduled for Dec. 3 at Fort Hood, Texas. Trump Economy 'Very Strong,' Working Americans Benefit Most Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says President Donald Trump's economic agenda is delivering stronger results for working Americans, arguing that rising wages, expanding energy production, deregulation, and new investment accounts for children are creating a foundation for sustained economic growth. Bessent offered the remarks in a sit-down interview with Greta Van Susteren at the NPolicy Summit in Washington, D.C., on Thursday. Bessent rejected concerns that the economy primarily benefits wealthy Americans, insisting that economic data show lower-income workers are making gains even as higher-income consumers show signs of weakness.
Trump Establishes Committee to Investigate Federal Reserve's Lisa Cook in Latest Effort to Fire Her President Donald Trump opened another chapter in his effort to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook Friday by establishing a "committee of inquiry" to investigate allegations that she made false statements in mortgage applications. The inquiry will include a hearing at the White House Nov. 5, Trump said in a written memo, that Cook "shall" attend to answer questions from the committee. The hearing wouldn't be public but a transcript would be published, the memo said. Trump's extraordinary demand that Cook testify before the committee will likely renew concerns about threats to the Federal Reserve's independence. The president has called for the central bank to cut its key interest rate, but just last month, the Fed raised it instead, led by Chairman Kevin Warsh, whom Trump appointed earlier this year.
Outspoken Rep. Nancy Mace insists Jane Doe was willing participant in Cornell 7 ‘consensual gangbang’ Outspoken Rep. Nancy Mace has gone wildly viral for insisting that the Cornell student accusing seven fraternity brothers of raping her was actually a willing participant in a “consensual gangbang.” The firebrand South Carolina Republican joined the divisive debate about the Cornell 7 case some 18 months after she came forward with her own explosive allegations that she’d been drugged and raped by her ex and three of his associates. “IDK who needs to hear this, but a consensual gangbang is not a rape,” Mace wrote on X in a message viewed more than 1.3 million times since she posted it late Thursday. Mace’s viral tweet came after a trove of newly released texts showed the Cornell accuser, only known as Jane Doe, chatting amiably to some of the men she later accused of rape, suggesting that they shouldn’t “feel any shame.” Democrats are changing their transgender message. Republicans say they’re just flip-flopping Several prominent Democrats have shifted messaging on transgender issues as Republicans revive potent 2024 campaign cudgel South Carolina Democratic Senate nominee Dr. Annie Andrews appears to be distancing herself from her past opposition to restricting transgender athletes in girls' sports, telling Fox News Digital she opposes biological males competing in women's sports and gender transition surgeries for minors. As Democrats fight to regain control of the House and Senate in the midterm elections, Andrews is among a group of candidates in competitive races in red and swing states who seem to be shifting positions on transgender issues. Meanwhile, Republicans are aiming to use the highly-charged issue as a cudgel to bash Democrats for a second straight cycle. "I don't support biological men playing in women's sports, and I don't support gender surgery on minors," Andrews told Fox News Digital. Andrews, who's locked in an increasingly competitive midterm election showdown with Republican Sen. Darline Graham in reliably red state South Carolina, delivers the same message in a new campaign commercial, adding, "I want you to hear me loud and clear." Talarico disappearance has Dem volunteers worrying and Trump asking, 'What is going on?' The Democrat cited a flu diagnosis but leaked volunteer messages reveal concerns about lost momentum before Election Day President Donald Trump and Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton are raising questions about Democratic challenger James Talarico's whereabouts after the candidate spent nearly two weeks away from the campaign trail, as new reporting reveals concerns about his absence among members of his own volunteer network. Talarico, who is challenging Paxton in Texas' closely watched Senate contest, has not appeared at an in-person campaign event since late September, citing a case of the flu. The prolonged absence has prompted attacks from Republicans, including Trump, who questioned Talarico's whereabouts during a Wednesday campaign rally in San Antonio and later on his social media platform Truth Social, calling the Texas Democrat "MISSING IN ACTION." "TalaFREAKo has been missing for 12 days! Now, after looking for him throughout all of Texas, and beyond, probably even weirder places than anyone would think possible, he put out a statement that he has the 'flu.' 12 days is a long time to rid yourself of the so-called flu bug," Trump wrote Wednesday. "What’s going on? We need a Senator that’s a proven Champion like one that has been, without question, the Greatest Attorney General in the History of Texas, and one of the Greatest in the U.S.A." Thousands flood Brussels streets as anti-austerity protests erupt into clashes with police Two major labor unions organized a national strike as police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse masked agitators Belgian citizens against government budget cuts took to the streets on Friday in Brussels, clashing with police. Thousands of demonstrators poured into the streets of Brussels on Friday, at times clashing with police officers, to protest the Belgian government's budget-tightening measures and the overall rise in the cost of living. Dozens of protesters, most of them young and dressed in black with masks over their faces, were seen throwing rocks and firecrackers at police at the central Brussels railway station, The Associated Press reported. They also set several fires, with photos showing a man lighting an electric scooter ablaze. Legendary Bears head coach Mike Ditka dead at 86 Ditka won a Super Bowl with Dallas and was a Super Bowl winning coach with the Bears Mike Ditka, one of the greatest examples of a great player becoming a great coach in NFL history en route to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has passed away at the age of 86. The death of one of the NFL's greats was announced Friday morning by his family in a statement. "It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Mike Ditka," the statement said. "While the world knew Mike as a Hall of Fame football player, legendary coach, and leader of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl XX championship team, we knew him as the heart of our family.

(Focus on Sport/Getty Images) Cook Report Shifts 18 House Races Toward Dems The Cook Political Report shifted 18 House races toward Democrats on Friday, raising fresh concerns for Republicans hoping to retain their narrow congressional majority in November's midterm elections. The nonpartisan election handicapper's latest ratings changes reflect mounting challenges for GOP candidates amid rising energy prices, economic uncertainty, and voter dissatisfaction with the conflict in Iran. "With these new moves, we're also adjusting our range: the most likely outcome is now that Democrats will pick up nine to 19 seats," Cook Report house editor Erin Covey wrote. That projection would leave Democrats controlling between 224 and 234 House seats, according to Cook's analysis. Israel Blasts Nobel Peace Prize for Navi Pillay Israel's Foreign Ministry blasted the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay as the "grotesque weaponization" of the award, accusing the Norwegian Nobel Committee of legitimizing anti-Israel hatred. The ministry's sharp rebuke Friday followed the announcement that Pillay, a South African human rights lawyer who led a United Nations investigation accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, had received the prestigious international honor. "If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn't just be a contender. She'd be a frontrunner," the Israeli Foreign Ministry wrote on X. "Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes." Fauci Diary Exposes Anti-Trump Rants, Praise for China Newly released diary entries from Dr. Anthony Fauci reveal the former federal infectious disease official repeatedly attacked President Donald Trump while praising Chinese Communist Party-linked health officials. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, released the records Wednesday, exposing Fauci's private criticism of Trump dating back to the 2016 presidential campaign. In a post on X, Paul accused Fauci of displaying "early-onset Trump Derangement Syndrome," pointing to writings that show the longtime government scientist's opposition to Trump well before the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump is fighting Obamacare fraud. Democrats are defending the numbers President Trump is turning fraud enforcement into affordability policy by protecting patients and ensuring taxpayer dollars pay for legitimate care By Mehek Cooke Democrats love double-talk. They claim to defend affordable healthcare while taxpayers finance fraudulent enrollments that harm the very consumers Obamacare was supposed to protect. Right on cue, they turned the Trump administration’s fraud crackdown into cruelty. Chuck Schumer claims the administration is kicking hundreds of thousands of people off their plans, while former Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls fraud enforcement a "false pretext" for stripping away coverage. Before Democrats declare 760,000 people victims of Republican cruelty, they should explain why taxpayers were financing policies that some consumers never requested, used or knew existed. The Trump administration recently announced that CMS canceled approximately 315,000 unauthorized Obamacare enrollments covering more than 760,000 people and expected to recover approximately $2.2 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies. An additional 419,000 enrollments are undergoing eligibility verification. Every taxpayer and every family struggling to afford health insurance should be alarmed. Instead, Rep. Richard Neal, the ranking Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, accused Republicans of "[doubling] down to take [coverage] away entirely," warning that the crackdown would increase medical debt and healthcare costs without acknowledging the fraudulent enrollment or the $2.2 billion in subsidies the administration expects to recover. GAO found that Biden-era controls failed to verify consumer consent, restrict broker access or notify patients when plans changed. Complaints involving confirmed unauthorized activity more than quadrupled from 2023 through 2025. Predatory brokers used basic personal information to enroll consumers or switch their plans without permission, changed their contact information to conceal the activity and then collected compensation from insurers. Victims risked losing doctors or medications, paying higher copayments and deductibles or repaying tax credits based on false information. Saritha Komatireddy exposed Letitia James, the ‘Let them eat crime’ NY AG, during debate By Isaac Schorr
GOP candidate Saritha Komatireddy came out swinging for incumbent Democrate Letitia James during the New York AG debate on Oct. 8, 2026. Some drubbings — think about the game that’s already by the end of the first quarter — are a bore. But others — like Thursday night’s attorney general debate between incumbent Democrat Letitia James and her Republican challenger, Saritha Komatireddy — are utterly captivating. The beatdown began at the opening bell. |
