New York Judge April Newbauer has postponed War Room host Stephen K. Bannon’s state fraud trial. The former Chief Strategist to President-elect Donald J. Trump will now be tried on February 25 after prosecutors asked to introduce new evidence to their case. Judge Newbauer—who initially refused a postponement—insists, “We’re not changing [the date] again.”
The case, brought by Manhattan District Attorney (DA) Alvin Bragg, centers on allegations that Bannon defrauded donors to We Build the Wall, an initiative to complete sections of the U.S. southern border war privately while lawfare and congressional resistance were holding up federal construction efforts during Trump’s first term.

Lawyers for Bannon, who denies any wrongdoing, have argued they will require additional time to respond to prosecutors introducing new evidence, as they “may now need to offer testimony and/or evidence countering” the claims against him.
Bannon completed a sentence for a separate federal conviction for defying the corrupt January 6 Committee shortly before Election Day.
While the new state trial date is set for after President-elect Trump’s inauguration, presidential pardon powers do not apply to state crimes.

The judge finds it necessary after ALLOWING prosecutors to introduce evidence about financial transactions involving We Build the Wall, Bannon’s non-profit COAR, and Bannon’s AmEx card.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Church of England has selected a “pro-choice” woman to be the Archbishop of Canterbury, its most senior clerical office, for the first time.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on October 3.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.” – GAFCON.
🎯IMPACT: The move will likely deepen the divisions in the Anglican Communion, and comes at a time when more and more young people in England are turning to Roman Catholicism.
IN FULL
The Church of England has appointed Sarah Mullally as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman ever to hold the Anglican church’s most senior clerical role. Mullally, 63, was known as a champion of Black Lives Matter and diversity as Bishop of London, and has previously described herself as “pro-choice” on the question of abortion.
Mullally has backed blessings for same-sex couples, pushed for greater inclusion of gender and sexual minorities, and branded the Church of England “institutionally racist” in a prior conversation with Anglican minister Calvin Robinson. “Calvin, as a white woman, I can tell you that the Church is institutionally racist,” she told the biracial conservative.
Mullally steps into the role less than a year after former Archbishop Justin Welby resigned following a child sex abuse cover-up, adding another stain to the institution’s already tarnished reputation. She is set to be officially installed in March 2026 at Canterbury Cathedral.
Her rise comes amid a broader ideological shift in the Church of England, which is widely regarded as abandoning its theological foundations in favor of woke, secular activism, using the image of Christ to promote anti-borders politics, for instance.
Last year, the Church faced backlash after St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of its most iconic institutions, even labeled wartime Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill a “white supremacist.”
The Church’s leftward drift has also been linked to falling attendance and declining public trust. A growing number of young Britons are reportedly turning to the Roman Catholic Church, seeking stability and tradition. There are now more young practicing Catholics in England than young practicing Anglicans, with Catholics expected to outnumber Anglicans in England overall in the coming years.
Mullally’s appointment has already drawn fire from the global Anglican community, particularly from leaders in Africa and Asia, where the majority of Anglicans live. The conservative GAFCON network, representing churches across the Global South, condemned the announcement, stating, “This appointment abandons global Anglicans, as the Church of England has chosen a leader who will further divide an already split Communion.”
❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has set a deadline for Hamas to agree to a deal to end the Gaza conflict, warning the Islamic terror group that they will face “all Hell” if they do not.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The peace proposal was unveiled on Monday at the White House; a Sunday 6 PM deadline has now been set for compliance.
💬KEY QUOTE: “If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: The deal seeks to end the conflict through a ceasefire, Hamas disarming, the establishment of a Palestinian-led governing committee, and the replacement of Israeli forces with an International Stabilization Force, but Hamas has yet to agree.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump has issued a Sunday deadline for Hamas to agree to a deal aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza. In a Friday morning Truth Social post, he warned that failing to accept the terms would result in crushing military action. Since being made public on Monday, Trump’s proposal has received significant backing from a number of key Middle Eastern governments, ramping up pressure on Hamas to accept the peace terms.
“Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East! They have killed (and made lives unbearably miserable), culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, babies, woman, children, old people, and many young men and women, boys and girls, getting ready to celebrate their future lives together. As retribution for the October 7th attack on civilization, more than 25,000 Hamas “soldiers” have already been killed. Most of the rest are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, just waiting for me to give the word, “GO,” for their lives to be quickly extinguished,” Trump wrote.
Laying out his deadline to accept the deal, he added: “RELEASES THE HOSTAGES, ALL OF THEM, INCLUDING THE BODIES OF THOSE THAT ARE DEAD, NOW! An Agreement must be reached with Hamas by Sunday Evening at SIX (6) P.M., Washington, D.C. time. Every Country has signed on! If this LAST CHANCE agreement is not reached, all HELL, like no one has ever seen before, will break out against Hamas.”
The proposal, unveiled by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, outlines a 20-point plan that includes an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, the disarmament of Hamas, Israeli forces withdrawing in favor of an International Stabilization Force, assurances that no one will be forced to leave Gaza, and the establishment of a Palestinian-led governing committee overseen by a “Board of Peace” including President Trump and former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair.
While Israel has agreed to the terms, Hamas has stated it needs additional time to review the details and consult with other Palestinian armed factions. The peace deal has already been rejected by the head of Hamas‘s military wing in Gaza, Izz al-Din al-Haddad.

🎯IMPACT: The Jewish community in Britain is now deeply fearful, with Farage stressing concerns about societal breakdown in the United Kingdom.
IN FULL
Reform Party leader Nigel Farage has responded to the radical Islamic terror attack targeting Jews at a synagogue in Manchester on October 2, perpetrated by Syrian immigrant Jihad al-Shamie. “The scenes of Jewish people being butchered on the streets of Manchester yesterday have shocked many of us deeply to the core,” he said, extending condolences on behalf of his party—but warned that the situation is even worse than it first appears.
“Within hours of this horrific incident, we saw pro-Palestinian flags on the streets in London, Glasgow, and elsewhere, with people demonstrating in what were not planned protests. The truth is, they weren’t demonstrating—they were celebrating,” he said, adding: “I can’t imagine we’ve ever seen such vile scenes on our streets, certainly not in my lifetime.”
Farage criticized the governing Labour Party and senior party figures such as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, noting that they “emboldened these people by recognizing ‘Palestine’ two weeks ago.”
Notably, a major pro-Palestinian march is still planned in London this weekend, despite calls for it to be canceled or postponed, with Farage describing it as a “hate march.”
“[W]e’re a country that allows peaceful protest, but not one that permits the celebration of murder,” he said, confessing: “I must admit, as I speak to you today, I am more worried about the state of broken Britain than ever before.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “You thought arresting me would make me shut up and go away. You couldn’t have been more wrong.” – Nick Sortor
🎯IMPACT: The incident has sparked criticism of the Portland Police’s handling of protests and claims of bias.
IN FULL
Portland Police arrested conservative journalist Nick Sortor while he was covering a protest at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility involving Antifa-linked anti-ICE agitators on Tuesday night. Sortor was booked into Multnomah County Jail on disorderly conduct charges.
Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt noted that Sortor was being targeted by Antifa shortly before his arrest. Anti-ICE demonstrators initiated several fights with pro-ICE counter-demonstrators on the night, but observers expressed bemusement that Sortor was targeted by police, with independent journalist Mark Wilson reporting he did not see him involved in any lawbreaking prior to his arrest. Wilson also noted the Portland Police had previously failed to arrest an anti-ICE agitator who assaulted Daviscourt with a metal pole.
Following his release from jail on Friday morning, Sortor issued a statement on social media, warning: “Hey [Portland Police]: you made a big freaking mistake. You PROVED what we’ve all been saying for years: you’re CORRUPT and CONTROLLED by vioIent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets.”
He continued: “You thought arresting me would make me shut up and go away. You couldn’t have been more wrong. Stay tuned.”
Portland Police and Portland officials have long been accused of at worst enabling and at best turning a blind eye to the regular attacks on federal immigration enforcement in Portland, due to local politicians’ stance against taking action against illegal immigrants. Portland’s government is actively harassing the ICE facility where Sortor was arrested, alleging land use violations.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Kash Patel, the FBI, and the Southern Poverty Law Center.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced on October 3, 2025, via a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) by Daily Signal senior editor Tyler O’Neil.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine.” – Kash Patel
🎯IMPACT: The decision follows the FBI severing ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), signaling that the Trump administration intends to detach the federal government from partisan nonprofits pushing far-left agendas.
IN FULL
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), under the leadership of Director Kash Patel, has officially ended its relationship with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Patel criticized the SPLC for straying from its civil rights mission, stating, “The SPLC long ago abandoned civil rights work & turned into a partisan smear machine.”
Patel particularly stressed the SPLC’s “hate map,” which lists the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) conservative youth organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk alongside the Ku Klux Klan, arguing that it “has been used to defame mainstream Americans and even inspired violence.”
“That disgraceful record makes them unfit for any FBI partnership,” he added.
Leading figures such as Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, Jack Posobiec, and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) frontman Elon Musk have long been lobbying for the FBI to cut ties with the SPLC, intensifying their efforts in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, allegedly by radical leftist Tyler Robinson, who explicitly cited the TPUSA chief’s supposed “hatred” as his motivation.
The FBI severing its links to the SPLC follows a similar cutting of ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which also listed TPUSA in a glossary of “extremist” organizations—but defended the Antifa movement recently designated as a domestic terror threat by President Donald J. Trump as misunderstood and generally non-violent.
“[Former FBI Director] James Comey disgraced the FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the ADL and embedding agents with an extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans,” Patel said of the ADL decision.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Over September and October 2025, in Guildford and Brighton.
💬KEY QUOTE: “You need to listen to me, if you breach this, you can be arrested and you will be arrested.” – Police officer to Ollie Sabatelli.
🎯IMPACT: Sabatelli attempted to circumvent the notice by preaching using only his voice, with no microphone.
IN FULL
Christian street preacher Ollie Sabatelli was issued with a “Community Protection Notice” by police in Guildford, England, to prevent him from preaching in public using a speaker system. Officers alleged the “manner” of his preaching was causing “causing annoyance, upset, and distress,” which is unlawful in the United Kingdom.
Video of the incident shared to social media on October 2, 2025, shows an officer warning Sabatelli, “You need to listen to me, if you breach this, you can be arrested and you will be arrested.”
He accused the preacher of “causing annoyance, upset, and distress” to “the local community and businesses,” citing “the content you are choosing to preach… and the choice of words,” as well as his use of a loudspeaker.
Despite clearly indicating that his words as well as his volume were the issue, the officer backtracked when Sabatelli asked him if he was banned from preaching the word of God, saying it was only the “manner” of his preaching “using a loudspeaker” that was at issue. Sabatelli therefore continued preaching using only his voice.
Sabatelli, who has amassed a significant following, with 91,000 followers on Instagram and 184,000 on TikTok, was previously driven out of Brighton last month for preaching on topics such as homosexuality, which the Bible describes as a sin.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: A study marking German reunification revealed that over one-third of 35-year-olds in the country have a migration background.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The study was conducted by Germany’s Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) and included data from 1990, the year West Germany and East Germany reunited.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The study focused on those born in 1990, the year the Berlin Wall fell, and reflects on the current demographics of Germany.
🎯IMPACT: The findings highlight the growing demographic and economic challenges posed by mass migration, including unemployment and social tensions.
IN FULL
Germany’s Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) has released a new report examining the demographic profile of individuals born in 1990, the year East and West Germany were reunified. The report highlights that approximately 1.1 million people were born in that year, representing about 1.4 percent of the country’s current population. Of this group, 36 percent have a migration background, significantly higher than the 26 percent observed across the total German population. Destatis noted that around 80 percent of those with a migration background in this cohort arrived in Germany after reunification.
The data reflects broader demographic shifts in the country. According to recent figures, one in three young adults in Germany aged 20 to 39 now comes from a migration background. The proportion of the overall population with migration roots continues to climb steadily, with migrants and their descendants making up more than a quarter of the total population as of 2024.
This trend has accelerated particularly since 2015, when former Chancellor Angela Merkel made the decision to open Germany’s borders during the European migrant crisis. Between 2015 and 2020, approximately 1.5 million people entered Germany as refugees. Millions more followed through chain migration, reshaping the country’s social and cultural fabric.
The economic and social impacts of this demographic change have been significant. Data from the Federal Employment Agency shows that 33 percent of the long-term unemployed in Germany are migrants. In addition, migrants make up a large share of those receiving social welfare. A 2023 report revealed that 60 percent of welfare recipients in Germany come from a migration background.
Public opinion on the consequences of mass migration remains sharply divided. A Forsa poll found that only 21 percent of Germans believe the country has successfully managed the influx of migrants. Meanwhile, 41 percent say Germany has not coped well, and 37 percent believe the country has not coped at all.
Negative attitudes towards mass migration have been reinforced by a number of violent incidents in recent years involving asylum seekers or others with migration backgrounds.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Recent developments include meetings in New York and ongoing discussions involving the United States, Ukraine, and NATO allies.
💬KEY QUOTE: “If they [Russia] attack our energy, President Trump [supports] that we can answer on energy,” said President Zelensky.
🎯IMPACT: The policy shift marks a first in U.S. dealings with Ukraine, potentially escalating pressure on Russia to make peace.
IN FULL
The United States is taking a more aggressive stance in supporting Ukraine’s war effort against Russia with new intelligence-sharing efforts and potential long-range missile deliveries. The U.S. is now helping Ukraine identify key Russian energy infrastructure, including refineries and pipelines, which could become targets in future strikes. The goal is to undermine Moscow’s oil and gas sector, a major source of revenue for its military operations.
President Donald J. Trump is also reportedly considering providing Ukraine with Tomahawk and Barracuda cruise missiles, marking a significant shift in U.S. policy. Washington had previously avoided helping Ukraine carry out strikes deep inside Russian territory, especially on energy assets. The new approach signals a willingness to support more direct pressure on Russia’s economy.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with Trump in New York in recent days to request the missile systems. Zelensky said Trump backs Ukraine’s right to respond to Russian attacks on its own infrastructure. “If they attack our energy, President Trump [supports] that we can answer on energy,” Zelensky said.
Trump has voiced optimism about Ukraine’s ability to push back Russian forces if it receives enough international support. In a Truth Social post, he wrote, “With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win.”
He also defended Ukraine’s right to strike inside Russia, stating, “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invader’s country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense.”
However, Trump has made it clear that he will not commit American troops to Ukraine. In an interview, he ruled out U.S. boots on the ground under any future security agreement. “There’ll be some form of security… but it can’t be NATO,” he said.
Trump feels let down by Russian President Vladimir Putin since they met for peace talks in Alaska in August, believing the Kremlin supremo has not been making a serious effort to wind down the conflict. In late September, a senior Russian official issued a nuclear threat directed at the United States in response to U.S. support for Ukraine.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Your phone? You should consider this a tracker and a listening device at all times.” – Angelita Morillo
🎯IMPACT:While Morillo emphasized the need for protesters to protect themselves from surveillance, the recommendation could also be used by violent protestors to elude law enforcement.
IN FULL
Far-left Portland City Council member Angelita Morillo—a bisexual, self-described “queer” using they/them pronouns, originally from Paraguay—is advising city residents to buy burner phones and use encrypted messaging apps to avoid tracking by immigration officers and federal agents. This recommendation was made in a nearly three-minute video posted to her Facebook account.
Morillo’s advice comes as a response to President Donald J. Trump‘s decision to deploy the National Guard to Portland to defend U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities that have faced ongoing violent demonstrations and attacks by Antifa. While the far-left city council member emphasized the need for protesters to protect themselves from surveillance, the recommendation could also be used by violent protestors to elude law enforcement.
In her video, Morillo stated, “Your phone? You should consider this a tracker and a listening device at all times,” warning that phones can track location and identify patterns of communication and organization.
Morillo suggested additional precautions such as using a Faraday cage, disabling fingerprint and facial recognition technology, and having a secure PIN. She also recommended purchasing burner phones in cash and using encrypted apps like Signal.
She concluded by encouraging protesters to organize smartly and with trusted individuals, stressing the importance of being “smarter, and better organized than our opposition.”

💬KEY QUOTE: “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in the country illegally, not the Super Bowl, not anywhere else.” – Corey Lewandowski, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
🎯IMPACT: The move signifies the lengths ICE is determined to go to in order to find and deport illegals from the United States.
IN FULL
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to conduct immigration enforcement operations during the Super Bowl at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, according to a government official.
Corey Lewandowski, who holds the title of special government employee at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced the upcoming enforcement action during a recent interview. “There is nowhere that you can provide safe haven to people who are in the country illegally, not the Super Bowl, not anywhere else,” he said. Lewandowski did not specify what form the operations would take, only stating that “it will be everywhere.”
The announcement comes shortly after Bad Bunny, recently named as the Super Bowl halftime performer, revealed he would not include the United States in his 2025–2026 concert tour. He cited concerns that ICE could potentially raid venues during his shows.
This heightened attention to enforcement at high-profile events comes during a period of increased ICE activity nationwide. A June 2025 enforcement sweep in Los Angeles, California, led to the arrest of over 300 migrants, many with prior convictions. ICE also carried out its largest single-state operation in April, detaining over 1,100 migrants.
ICE’s increased enforcement has been backed by expanded federal funding through legislation referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Border Czar Tom Homan has called for the agency to ramp up arrests to 7,000 per day, citing the need to address the backlog of illegals released into the country under former President Joe Biden.
