Hundreds Feared Dead After Afghanistan Earthquakes.

Two 6.3 magnitude earthquakes struck Afghanistan on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, according to a spokesperson for the country’s national disaster authority. The United States Geological Survey reported the 6.3 magnitude, with an epicenter located 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) northwest of Herat city. An aftershock measuring 5.5 magnitude was also recorded.

Residents of Herat reported at least five quakes around noon, local time, prompting them to evacuate their homes and seek safety. The World Health Organization dispatched ambulances. Videos shared on social media revealed hundreds of people gathered outside their homes and offices in Herat. Telephone connections have been disrupted, hampering communication. Local media reports the quakes were also felt in neighboring Afghan provinces of Farah and Badghis, as well as in parts of Iran.

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban-appointed deputy prime minister for economic affairs, offered his condolences to the victims of the earthquakes in Herat and Badghis. This incident follows a powerful earthquake in June 2022, which resulted in the deaths of at least 1,000 people and injuries to approximately 1,500 more in eastern Afghanistan.

War: 100+ Israelis, 200+ Palestinians Dead After Surprise Attacks by Hamas & Response.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel is at war after Hamas militants launched a surprise attack against the nation and its citizens in the early morning hours.

Netanyahu ordered a mobilization of reserves and promised a forceful response that the enemy has not experienced before.

Hamas militants are believed to have killed at least 100 people in the overnight raid which has also seen a large number of kidnappings of Israeli citizens, some of whom are thought to have been dragged over the Gaza border.

Reports suggest a whopping 700 injured, with militants breaking through the border at key points to launch their sneak attack which also included thousands of rockets.

The Israeli response is believed to have killed over 200 Gazans so far, with thousands believed injured.

The Associated Press reports:

The Israeli military struck targets in Gaza in response for some 2,500 rockets that sent air raid sirens wailing constantly as far north as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, some 80 kilometers (50 miles) away. It said its forces were engaged in gunfights with Hamas militants who had infiltrated Israel in at least seven locations. The fighters had sneaked across the separation fence and even invaded Israel through the air with paragliders, the army said.

“The United States unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians,” said U.S. National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson said in a statement.

“There is never any justification for terrorism. We stand firmly with the Government and people of Israel and extend our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks,” she added.

Former President Trump released a statement Saturday morning: “These Hamas attacks are a disgrace and Israel has every right to defend itself with overwhelming force. Sadly, American taxpayer dollars helped fund these attacks, which many reports are saying came from the Biden Administration. We brought so much peace to the Middle East through the Abraham Accords, only to see Biden whittle it away at a far more rapid pace than anyone thought possible. Here we go again.”

Stop Trump Summit

NYC ‘Stop Trump Summit’ to Feature Far Leftists, Never Trumpers, and… Robert DeNiro?

The American far-left is increasingly panicked about the return of President Donald Trump to the White House, with The New Republic magazine hosting “The Stop Trump Summit” next week in New York City. The conference, taking place at The Great Hall at Cooper Union, is being billed with the tag line: “Can American Democracy Survive the 2024 Election?”

According to the conference website, speakers include a myriad of detractors and critics of President Trump ranging from far-Left ideologues, to establishment Democrat power-players, and NeverTrump “Republicans”. The conference’s closing speakers will include actor and celebrity Robert De Niro.

American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten and degenerate leftist blogger Molly Jong-Fast are slated to kick off the conference next Wednesday. Jong-Fast is the granddaughter of writer and dedicated communist Howard Fast. The elder Fast joined the Communist Party USA in 1943. When he was brought before the the House Committee on Un-American Activist in 1950, Fast refused to give up the names of communist collaborators. Charged with Contempt of Congress, he spent three months in prison. In 1953, Fast was awarded the Stalin Peace Prize by the Soviet Union.

New York University professor of History and Italian studies, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, will speak on “Trump and American Fascism.” Ben-Ghiat recently compared former President Trump to Adolf Hitler for comments he made in opposition to Biden’s handling of the border crisis during an interview The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam. Disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen will purportedly discuss the DOJ, New York, and Georgia prosecutions of Trump.

Several prominent NeverTrumpers will make appearances including Miles Taylor, author of the infamous anonymous New York Times op-ed claiming to be a high-level staffer who was part of ‘the resistance’ within the Trump administration. In reality, when most of the purported events described by Taylor occurred, he was merely an advisor at the Department for Homeland Security – a role that would not have given him the sort of access to President Trump that he claimed.

LISTEN: ‘There Ain’t No Rock and Roll’ Song Rips Music Industry for Big Pharma Sellout.

Five Times August have dropped a powerful new track taking aim at the music industry and singling out performers including Mick Jagger, John Legend, and the Foo Fighters by name, for selling out to Big Pharma and the lockdown agenda during the Wuhan virus pandemic.

The song laments “there ain’t no rock and roll, and the blues has lost its soul; all the punks gave the man control, and every pop star’s bought and sold,” with accompanying news clippings and other imagery serving to trash the “Big Pharma sellouts” who demanded vaccinated-only crowds and towed the government line amid Covid hysteria.

Five Times August pulled no punches against the “Big Pharma whores, shillin’ for a check,” accusing them of having completely abandoned their anti-establishment, rebellious posture when it counted: “All the suits lick the boots of the government, what they sang they never meant.”

Details in the music video underline the point, recalling standout episodes such as the Kaiser Chiefs (or “Pfizer Chiefs”) leading crowds with cries of: “Let me hear it if you’ve had the Pfizer vacine! Let me hear it for Moderna! AstraZeneca!”

Joe Biden Nominates Hunter’s Burisma Buddy to Office of Special Counsel.

Joe Biden has nominated Hampton Dellinger, who previously worked at the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner alongside Hunter Biden, to serve as Special Counsel at the Office of Special Counsel, responsible for enforcing laws including the Whistleblower Protection Act and the Act to Prevent Pernicious Political Activities, or Hatch Act.

In addition to working for Boies Schiller Flexner’s Crisis Management and Government Response team while Hunter Biden was employed there, Dellinger donated to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

Boies Schiller Flexner worked for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy corporation where Hunter Biden served on the board, and which Joe Biden is accused of performing favors for. Emails found on the First Son’s laptop indicate he and Dellinger attended private gatherings together and corresponded about firm-related events.

The Special Counsel at the Office of Special Counsel should not be confused with special counsels more generally, such as Jack Smith, who has been tasked with prosecuting Donald Trump, or David Weiss, who is pursuing much less serious charges against Hunter Biden.

Dellinger’s responsibility for whistleblower protection may cause some concern, however, as a number of whistleblowers at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and elsewhere have come forward to say investigations into the Bidens are being stymied, and claim they have suffered retaliation for speaking out.

WATCH: CNN Meltdown Over Trump-Kassam Interview.

CNN’s Dana Bash joins a host of corporate media freaking out over The National Pulse’s interview with former President Donald Trump. Feigning outrage at Trump’s remarks about the unchecked flow of illegal immigrants at the souther border, Bash told viewers before running a clip of the interview: “Now to something Donald Trump said on this topic this week. In an interview, the former president borrowed from white nationalists when he said this to National Pulse, a right-wing news outlet.”

WATCH:

The corporate media meltdown began earlier this week when MSNBC’s resident Islamic extremist, Mehdi Hasan, took to X (formerly Twitter) accusing former President Trump of adopting neo-Nazi talking points. Hasan, however, has previously called non-Muslims “cattle” and “animals” in video first popularized by National Pulse editor Raheem Kassam, over a decade ago. The New York Times, MSNBC‘s MaddowBlog, and Snopes quickly followed Hasan’s lead.

Trump was specifically speaking about drugs and communicable disease “poisoning the blood” of America in his exclusive interview with Kassam, though this point has been broadly ignored by the corporate media, who have instead raised the issue of Jewish people and Adolf Hitler. Jewish people are not part of the masses of illegal migrants pouring over America’s southern border.

U.S. Economy Added 336,000 Jobs in September.

The U.S. government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is reporting the economy added 336,000 jobs in September, far exceeding the 170,000 forecasted. On Wednesday the ADP National Employment Report indicated private sector payroll increased by just 89,000 jobs month, well below their forecast of 150,000.

While on the surface the BLS data for September may look strong, there are some concerning indicators the U.S. job market is weakening. Last month’s job gains were driven entirely by an increase in part-time employment, with 151,000 jobs added. Full time employment actually decreased, shedding 22,000 jobs. Over the last three months, part-time employment has increased by nearly 1.2 million while full time employment has decreased by an estimated 700,000. Additionally, the labor force participation rate remained depressed at 62.8 percent.

The number of foreign born workers in the U.S. is at an all-time high, making up 18.5 percent of the nation’s workforce. While the rate of employment for foreign workers has recovered to pre-pandemic levels, the same cannot be said for native-born workers. Compounding the employment gap, BLS data shows since March of 2022 jobs have disproportionately gone to non-native workers.

Economist and President of Queens’ College, Cambridge (UK) Mohamed A. El-Erian said he believes the jobs report is “bad news for markets and for the Fed.” It is widely speculated the better-than-expected jobs numbers for September will increase pressure on Federal Reserve Bank chairman Jerome Powell to raise interest rates further before the end of the year. The Federal Reserve committee which sets interest rates is set to meet at the end of October.

Men on Female Trans Drugs ’93 Percent More Likely to Suffer Heart Disease’.

Men prescribed female hormones in an effort to turn them into women are 93 percent more likely than normal men to develop cardiovascular disease and 73 percent more likely to develop the heart condition than women, according to data from a Danish study published in the European Journal of Endocrinology.

“Hormone treatments such as estrogen will increase fat mass and lower lean body mass, and increased estrogen is usually associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease and inflammation,” explained Dr. Dorte Glintborg.

Transmen, i.e. women on male hormones, are also at greater risk, being 63 percent more likely to have have heart conditions than normal women, and suffering twice the risk of real men.

Researchers studied 2,671 transgender people over five years, comparing them to 26,700 normal people. Both transwomen and transmen were found to be at “significantly increased risk” of suffering a range of debilitating conditions, including not only heart disease but also strokes and hypertension.

U.S. Fentanyl Deaths Equivalent to Crashing an Amtrak Train Filled with Americans Every 48 Hours.

Fentanyl deaths in America, facilitated by Joe Biden’s border policies, are claiming the lives Americans at a rate comparable to a full Amtrak train crashing every two days.

“Joe Biden should be familiar with the number on that train because he took the train back and forth to Delaware when he was a senator for 36 years,” said Senator John Barrasso on Thursday.

“[L]ast week, he went to Arizona… a border state where the number of illegal immigrants and lethal drugs that come across every day continue to kill Americans,” he went on. “He didn’t go to stem the flow of lethal drugs, no, no, no. He went to increase the flow of campaign dollars into his campaign accounts.”

Barosso noted Biden was “closer [to the border] than his regular daily train ride home to Delaware” would have taken him, but he did not go because “he has so little respect for the Border Patrol, or the citizens of this country, or the communities in which they live by the border.”

Far from securing the border, the Biden regime has actively worked to weaken it in Arizona, successfully suing the state government to dismantle a makeshift wall constructed from shipping containers, which was commissioned after construction of Donald Trump’s border wall was halted.

Trump has attempted to draw attention to this, only to be called “Hitler-like” by far-left commentators.

DOJ Claims Trump Casually Described Extremely Specific Details of Submarines to Mar a Lago Guests.

Former President Donald Trump allegedly shared sensitive and extremely specific details regarding U.S. nuclear submarines with  Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, according to a scarcely believable leak from Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel Jack Smith‘s investigation team.

Smith’s investigation claims during an April 2021 meeting at Mar-a-Lago the former President disclosed to Pratt the exact number of number of nuclear warheads typically carried by U.S. submarines and “…exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.”

The leak, according to the corporate media, purports the information shared was ‘sensitive’, though as usual, there is no indication it was actually true, accurate, or even considered classified. Details regarding the U.S. Navy’s nuclear assets are published by the corporate media with some degree of frequency. A January 2022 report from CNN stated the USS Nevada, an Ohio-class nuclear submarine, was “carrying 20 Trident ballistic missiles and dozens of nuclear warheads” while at port in Guam.  The U.S. Department of Defense website lists the specific model of ballistic missile Ohio-class nuclear submarines carry and the days-at-sea they can undertake before needing maintenance. ABC News reported in 2022 the Ohio-class strike range was 4,000 miles.

This isn’t the first time that Department of Justice sources have leaked details regarding ongoing investigations to the media in an effort to create a narrative favorable to the Biden White House. ABC News reported last week DOJ sources indicated the investigation into President Biden’s handling of classified documents would conclude his actions were “more likely a mistake than a criminal act.” The corporate media network was also the first to report on Smith’s allegations that Trump had shared sensitive information regarding U.S. nuclear submarines.
