US Troops Attacked 13 Times in Past Week, Admits Biden’s Defense Dept.

The U.S. Department of Defense has admitted that U.S. troops stationed in the Middle East have shockingly faced 13 attacks within the past week alone. Forces in Iraq experienced ten assaults, while those stationed in Syria were subjected to three under Commander-in-Chief Joe Biden. These attacks, employing one-way drones and rockets, reportedly all bear the hallmark of Iran, according to Pentagon officials.

On October 18th, the al Asad base in Iraq located west of Baghdad was targeted by two drones. Coalition forces managed to destroy one and damaged the other, resulting in minor injuries and some damage to the base. Gen. Pat Ryder stated that an early warning system in place at the base detected an additional threat that unfortunately led to a fatal heart attack in a civilian contractor during the precautions.

The USS Carney intercepted four land-based cruise missiles and 15 drones from Houthi forces in the northern Red Sea on October 19th. Other attacks took place at multiple sites including the Al-Harir air base, the Al Tanf Garrison in Syria, and near Baghdad International Airport. Reports indicate minor damages, four injuries to U.S. service members who have returned to duty, and no casualties. However, conflicting reports from Central Command (CENTCOM) points to a lower estimate of eight attacks, leaving the details surrounding the remaining five attacks unaccounted for.

64% of New Yorkers Say Biden Caused Migrant Crisis.

A large majority of New York voters blame Joe Biden for the escalating migrant crisis, with 84 percent of respondents characterizing the situation as a serious problem, and 57 percent declaring it as a “very” serious issue. Only 12 percent of those surveyed believe the issue is not severe. The study further unveils that Biden’s handling of the migrant surge is disapproved by 64 percent of voters, while only 29 percent gave their approval.

New York has seen an influx of tens of thousands of migrants, hurting Biden’s popularity in the traditionally Democrat-leaning state. Siena College pollster Steve Greenberg stressed Democrats, Republicans, independents, men, women, upstaters, downstaters, black people, white people, Latinos, Catholics, Jews, and Protestants all regard the crisis as a serious issue.

Sixty-four percent of voters agree that New York should work to “slow the flow” of migrants from the border, as opposed to the 29 percent who believe the state should welcome and help assimilate them. Additionally, 54 percent of voters surveyed regarded migration as more of a burden than a benefit.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who used to push “sanctuary” policies and celebrated when Biden halted border wall construction, now says the migrant crisis “will destroy” the Big Apple if it continues.

Over 1,600 African Boat Migrants Flood Spanish Islands.

More than 1,600 boat migrants from sub-Saharan Africa reached Europe by way of Spain’s Canary Islands over the weekend, with a record-breaking 321 migrants arriving on a single vessel on Saturday.

The islands off the north-west of Africa, popular with expatriates and tourists from Britain and Germany, have seen around 23,500 migrants land on their shores since January. Much of the influx has been concentrated in recent months, with 8,561 arriving in the first two weeks of October. Arrivals are currently up around 90 percent on last year overall.

Once they reach Spanish soil and claim asylum, boat migrants are often able to move on to Continental Europe, where they have mostly unfettered access to the European Union’s borderless Schengen travel area. There is also little to stop them from making a second voyage to the United Kingdom, as the British authorities do not as a matter of policy ever turn back boat migrants at sea, and often actually help them to complete their journeys.

Migrants have also been reaching Europe by taking boats directly to the Spanish mainland, or by breaking through the border barriers around the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla, bordering Morocco. Further east, even more migrants have been reaching Europe via Italy, and Greece, bordering Turkey, has also seen an increase in border crossings on land and at sea.

Louisiana ‘Superfog’ Sparks Massive Car Crash Killing Seven.

At least seven people have been killed in a major multi-vehicle accident on I-55 outside New Orleans, Louisiana, due to a dense “superfog” caused by marsh fires that dangerously reduced visibility on Monday. The Louisiana State Police confirmed over 158 vehicles were involved in the collision on a bridge over Lake Pontchartrain. A tanker truck hauling hazardous liquid was among the damaged vehicles, leading to a road fire. Authorities fear the death toll may rise as the rescue operation continues, with 25 individuals also hospitalized.

Images released by the Louisiana State Police show a vehicle, pushed over the edge of the bridge as a result of the crash, resting sideways in the water. The law enforcement agency also noted this was just one of several accidents in the area triggered by the heavy fog condition. A total of 25 crashes were reported on the highway, including two involving 18-wheel trucks which ended up in flames, according to St. John Sheriff Mike Tregre.

An extended stretch of the I-55, a 24-mile elevated interstate over Lake Pontchartrain, faces potential closure for an undetermined period. Approximately 100 motorists in the vicinity were stranded due to the accidents. Greg Langley, Press Secretary for the Department of Environmental Quality, commented on the tanker truck situation, stating plans are afoot to offload its hazardous cargo onto an alternative tanker. Louisianans were urged to donate blood to aid the wounded by the state’s Governor, John Bel Edwards, who also cautioned constituents about the hazardous combination of wildfire smoke and dense fog. Police are now notifying families and conducting investigations into the exact cause of the multiple crashes.

Anti-Immigration Party Wins Big in Swiss Elections.

The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) has taken a clear first place in Switzerland’s federal elections, performing even better than pollsters had predicted and coming close to equalling their best-ever election result.

Increasing its share of the vote from 25.6 percent to 28.6 percent – close to 29.4 percent it scored in 2015 – the SVP ran on a strong anti-mass migration platform, running an ad campaign with the strapline ‘New normal?’ highlighting deadly stabbings and other crimes committed by migrants in recent years.

The SVP also stressed the importance of Switzerland’s historic neutrality, suggesting this has been undermined as the country has given in to pressure to participate in the sanctions war on Russia led by Joe Biden and the European Union. (Switzerland is not an EU member, and the SVP is strongly opposed to joining.)

“Drag queens, antifas and climate activists are all going to vote! At the polls, they could ruin Switzerland and our society. We won’t let them!” the populist party had declared in a final rallying cry before the polls opened.

As in many European countries, however, placing first in an election does not guarantee a party the driving seat in government in Switzerland. While the SVP has voiced its hope that other conservative-leaning parties in the country will work with them to address voters’ “worry about an explosion of the population” due to immigration, it is likely the so-called “center-right” will co-ordinate with the second-placed Social Democrats to ensure a coalition government does not execute a truly populist agenda.

Biden State Dept Appoints Muslim Mayor Who Called for Israel Eradication to Leadership Program.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud has been appointed to the State Department’s Assembly of Local Leaders program – a first of its kind initiative ostensibly positioned to identify “key issues” impacting local communities. Hammoud, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, excused the Hamas terror attack on the Jewish state “inevitable” just weeks ago.

In a previous social media statement, the Democratic leader called for the eradication of the Jewish state, supporting Hamas’s incursion on Israel which took place on October 7, 2021. Contravening facts, Hammoud accused Israel of the tragic bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza, that instead came from the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s rocket, as per the Biden government’s own announcement.

Concerns have also been raised about the Biden government’s previous associations with groups supportive of Hamas, including the appointment of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on its “National Strategy to Combat Anti-Semitism”. CAIR, linked to Hamas, has backed various anti-Israel actions, with CAIR president Nihad Awad recently derogatorily referring to President Biden as a “Zionist”. The State Department has reportedly funneled millions in support to certain organizations in Gaza and the West Bank, some of which with a history of supporting Hamas. State Department official Nina Hachigian, known to have previously advocated for stronger U.S.-China ties, is leading the Assembly of Local Leaders program.

‘Don’t Help People’: DC Crime So Bad That Senate Sergeant Tells Congress Staff Not to Assist Broken Down Drivers.

Senate Sergeant at Arms Karen Gibson has sent a safety bulletin to Senate staff warning them, among other things, not to “stop to assist a stranger” on the road, amid a surge in carjacking in Democrat-run Washington D.C.

“Local authorities note an increase in carjacking incidents in and around Capitol Hill and the District of Columbia,” the bulletin explains, advising readers to “keep doors locked and windows up,” to avoid “driving alone, especially at night,” and to stick to center lanes.

Among other tips, the one most emphasizing the American capital’s descent into a low-trust, low-social cohesion zone urges: “Don’t stop to assist a stranger with a broken-down car; call the police from a safe location instead.”

Drivers are urged to behave as though they are perpetually in danger, using attended garages if possible, parking in well-lit areas, and remaining on the alert whenever exiting their vehicles.

Just weeks ago Democrat Representative Enrique ‘Henry’ Cuellar, who supported the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, was carjacked outside a building that houses dozens of Congressmen. Republican Senator Katie Britt staffer Amanda Pepper was carjacked even more recently, by an attacker who leveled a gun at her face as she was walking to her office.

WATCH: Pro-Hamas Mob Blocks Street, Attacks Driver, Then Claim to be Victims.

Pro Hamas protesters in Minneapolis surrounded a car being driven by an elderly man during a “die-in” demonstration in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The protestors shut down a section of roadway, blocking traffic, and physically attacking vehicles that tried to push through the crowd. Video from the protest shows individuals carrying Palestinian and Hamas flags and dressed in black assaulting a vehicle driven by a terrorized and frightened man – who the protestors claim tried to run them over and shoot at them.

Additional arial footage of the exchange clearly shows the driver made no attempt to run over protestors, and instead was the target of violence and physical assault himself. At the very start, the driver appears to briefly exit his vehicle before a mob of protestors surge at him.

After the driver is able to re-enter his vehicle, protesters swarm around him and begin smashing his windshield and the passenger and driver side windows. The car then slowly inches forward as more protestors throw themselves on his vehicle and continue using objects and signs to smash at his windows. Finally after another vehicle moves to clear a path, the driver is able to move forward and accelerates once clear of the protestors and on open road.

Despite appearing to be clear of the protestors, the end of the street is blockaded by additional vehicles. The elderly driver is once again trapped and surrounded by protestors. It is at this point the video claiming the driver attempted to run over protestors originates. The video and claims made against the driver come from Zach Metzger, one of the protest organizers who is a radical, anti-police, far-left candidate for Minneapolis City Council.

After another series of attacks on the driver and his vehicle, the elderly man is able to turn his vehicle around and depart the chaotic seen down a city side street.

NYT Admits to Relying on Hamas.

The New York Times has admitted, in a lengthy article retraction, that their reporting on the war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization is overly reliant on sources pushing pro-Hamas talking points. A story ran by the Times last week claimed the explosion that hit a Gaza hospital’s parking lot was the result of an Israeli airstrike. The story’s headline and content – which was damning towards Israel – the Times now admits was entirely too reliant on the word of the Hamas terrorist organization.

“The Times’s initial accounts attributed the claim of Israeli responsibility to Palestinian officials, and noted that the Israeli military said it was investigating the blast. However, the early versions of the coverage — and the prominence it received in a headline, news alert and social media channels — relied too heavily on claims by Hamas,” the New York Times editor’s note reads. “The report left readers with an incorrect impression about what was known and how credible the account was.”

The initial reports stating Israel was responsible for the hospital explosion resulting in civilian deaths sparked violent unrest across the Middle East. Radical leftist Members of the U.S. Congress parroted the Times report, with Rep. Rashida Tlaib telling protestors outside the U.S. Capitol that Israel was responsible for the bombing.

The violent fallout from the false media narrative pushed by the New York Times and other outlets undeniably caused additional harm in the ongoing conflict which started when Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,000 Israeli civilians and took over 200 hostage.

“Given the sensitive nature of the news during a widening conflict, and the prominent promotion it received, Times editors should have taken more care with the initial presentation, and been more explicit about what information could be verified,” the New York Times is now admitting.

Ex German Chancellor Says US Sabotaged Ukraine-Russia Peace Negotiations.

Former Chancellor of Germany Gerhard Schröder has claimed the United States refused to allow Ukraine to sue for peace against Russia in March 2022 and deliberately sabotaged negotiations held in the Turkish capital of Istanbul last year.

Schröder, who was German Chancellor between 1999 and 2004, recently told the German newspaper Berliner Zeitung that the window of opportunity to establish peace was missed last year because of the Biden government’s actions, with the Ukrainians even prepared to discuss the status of Crimea – annexed by the Russians in 2014.

“At the peace negotiations in Istanbul in March 2022 with Rustem Umeirov, the Ukrainians did not agree on peace because they were not allowed to. They first had to ask the Americans about everything they had discussed,” Schröder stated.

Ukrainian Minister of Defence Rustem Umierov “opened the conversation with greetings from Zelensky. As a compromise for the safety guarantees of Ukraine, the Austrian model or the 5+1 model was proposed. Umierov thought that was good. He also showed willingness on the other points. He also said that Ukraine does not want NATO membership. He also said that Ukraine wants to reintroduce Russian in Donbas,” Schröder continued.

“But in the end, nothing happened. My impression: Nothing could happen, because everything else was decided in Washington. That was fatal,” he added before showing the interviewer a copy of the newspaper Bild, which detailed the discussions between Ukraine and Russia under the title “Finally Peace in Sight.”

The former Chancellor is currently under investigation by the German Federal Prosecutor for “crime against humanity” as a result of his unwillingness to relinquish his posts at Russian energy companies and his supposed proximity to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Angela Merkel’s former party, the Christian Democrats (CDU), even suggested putting Schröder on the official European Union sanctions list after the war began.
