JD Vance's Halloween Costume Truly Won
the Internet
Posted By: Dreadnought, 11/1/2025 10:28:48 AM
Vice President JD Vance showed he’s got a sense of humor this Halloween—and a pretty good handle on the internet, too. While Democrats were probably workshopping their next “dark Brandon” meme in a D.C. focus group, Vance was busy winning the internet. The vice president poked fun at himself by leaning into a viral meme that’s been following him for months. In a short TikTok video filmed at the Naval Observatory, Vance appears in a dark suit and red tie, topped off with a curly brown wig to complete the look.

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts announced staff reassignments on Friday in the wake of the conservative uproar over his statement defending Tucker Carlson for interviewing white nationalist Nick Fuentes.
Roberts tapped the think tank’s executive vice president Derrick Morgan to serve as acting chief of staff until the end of the year. Ryan Neuhaus, who was serving in the role, was moved to be a senior adviser.
He made the announcement in an email to staff late Friday with the subject line: “Heritage’s Stand Against Antisemitism and for Civilizational Truth.”
The email, obtained by The Hill, opened by saying the thank tank had
British voters across the political spectrum are much more likely to hold strong views on immigration and even ethnic homogeneity than Americans, with 70 per cent of right-wing voters saying it’s bad for society “if white people decline as a share of the population”.
Britons have long been considered to be comfortably to the left of their American cousins on practically all political matters. While this remains largely true, new research shows that Britons from both the left and right are considerably more forthright than their American counterparts on immigration policy questions.

Are Furious!) 11 replies
Just yesterday I said the ground beneath Democrats' feet was starting to shift on the shutdown. I also said that it was ultimately all about one thing: Would the media stop carrying water for Dems? Here was my concluding paragraph:
It's not over until its over, but if just a few major news outlets decide to stop playing dumb about whose shutdown this is, Democrats will fold. It really is that simple.
About five hours later, the Washington Post published an editorial titled "A turning point in the government shutdown." The Post is done pretending. This is a straight up call for Democrats to reopen the government that they shut down.
The Justice Department is investigating leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement for potential donor fraud after the leftist group experienced a surge of donations during the 2020 George Floyd riots, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to National Review.
In recent weeks, federal investigators have issued subpoenas and executed at least one search warrant for an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Foundation, the BLM movement’s umbrella organization, and other leftist groups involved with the racial reckoning of 2020, the Associated Press reported.

New Delhi:
North Korea announced Wednesday that it successfully launched multiple sea-to-surface cruise missiles into its western waters, just hours before US President Donald Trump’s arrival in South Korea for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Gyeongju. The tests, conducted Tuesday, were described by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) as part of the regime’s ongoing effort to expand the “operational sphere” of its nuclear-armed military.
KCNA reported that the missiles flew for over two hours and “accurately struck their targets,” demonstrating what it called the “advanced precision” of North Korea’s new weapon systems.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates now says climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise,” despite having spent years fearmongering over rising global temperatures.
Gates authored a surprising blog post on Monday advocating for climate activists to move away from the “doomsday outlook” they have spent years peddling.
“Although climate change will have serious consequences — particularly for people in the poorest countries — it will not lead to humanity’s demise,” wrote Gates, who has spent billions of dollars on climate-related initiatives. “People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”

Executive Power as President Declined,
House Report Finds 15 replies
Top Biden administration officials misused executive authority and took actions without then-President Joe Biden’s authorization as his mental acuity declined, a House investigation found.
President Biden’s inner circle hid the extent of his mental decline from the American people and exercised executive authority by abusing the presidential autopen and taking advantage of a lax chain-of-command, according to a report released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee.
BUENOS AIRES - Early results in Argentina's legislative elections on Sunday showed a landslide victory for President Javier Milei as voters overwhelmingly backed his free-market reforms and deep austerity measures, providing a strong boost for the libertarian leader to continue his economic overhaul.
The president's party, La Libertad Avanza, scored 41.5% of the vote in Buenos Aires province compared with 40.8% for the Peronist coalition, according to official results. The province has long been a political stronghold for the Peronists, marking a dramatic political shift
LOS ANGELES — June Lockhart, who became a mother figure for a generation of television viewers whether at home in “Lassie” or up in the stratosphere in “Lost in Space,” has died. She was 100.
Lockhart died Thursday of natural causes at her home in Santa Monica, family spokesman Lyle Gregory, a friend of 40 years, said Saturday.
“She was very happy up until the very end, reading the New York Times and LA Times everyday,” he said. “It was very important to her to stay focused on the news of the day.”

"Indiana Jones" star Harrison Ford told The Guardian on Friday that he doesn't "know of a greater criminal in history" than President Donald Trump, criticizing him for failing to address climate change.
Ford said to The Guardian that Trump "doesn’t have any policies, he has whims. It scares the s--- out of me. The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy. [Trump] knows better, but he’s an instrument of the status quo, and he’s making money, hand over fist, while the world goes to hell in a handbasket."
"It's unbelievable," he added. "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history."
Nearly one decade after leaving the White House, Michelle Obama is ready to talk about her fashion choices and the attention placed on her appearance during her eight years as first lady. The former first lady sat down with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts ahead of the release of her new book, "The Look," an in-depth and personal look at her White House style. In the book, Obama explains for the first time the level of intention she placed on her fashion choices as first lady, and the messages she wanted to send with those choices.

A federal judge blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to protect election integrity by requiring proof of United States citizenship on voter registration forms, finding that Trump “lacks the authority to direct such changes.”
In a decision by U.S. District Judge Collen Kollar-Kotelly on Friday, Kollar-Kotelly “sided with Democratic and civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration” after the President issued an executive order in March entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” according to the Associated Press.
Kollar-Kotelly, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, claimed in her decision that “the proof-of-citizenship directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers,”
Michelle Obama really wants you to know she's a victim. That's been the theme for her over the last several years, whether it be during interviews or on her incredibly grating podcast. Most recently, speaking to ABC News "journalist" Gayle King, who is always chosen for these softball sessions for a reason, the former First Lady decried her time in the White House, claiming she and her family were given a "lack of grace" that other presidential families received. [Tweet, video]
KING: "We were all too aware that as the first black couple, we couldn't afford any mistakes."

A Colorado athlete who once vied for a spot on the US Olympic shot put team allegedly stabbed her Uber driver to death, dumping his body in a field — because she felt “cooped up” and wanted to go for a “joy ride,” according to police.
Khayla Dawson, 27, who competed at the USA Olympic Trials last year, is accused of fatally plunging a butcher knife into 38-year-old rideshare driver Jeremy Campbell’s neck before stealing his car and wallet Sunday, according to the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
Dawson(snip)was identified as the last person on Campbell’s driving list at 11:45 p.m. Sunday
A black producer laid off from CBS News this week has accused the company of racism by saying that all of his fired fellow colleagues were 'people of color.' Trey Sherman made the claim in a viral video posted to his TikTok account Wednesday, after CBS News' parent company announced sweeping layoffs across the organization. Sherman had worked for the now-cancelled 'CBS Evening News+' since February, as well as the network's just-eliminated Race and Culture Unit. 'Every person who gets to stay and will be relocated within the company is a white person.' Sherman then recounted a meeting he said
Regrets, Kevin Roberts has a few.
The president of the Heritage Foundation stepped into a maelstrom when he came to the defense of Tucker Carlson this week after Carlson's friendly interview with Nick Fuentes, the 26-year-old white nationalist popular on the far right for his avowedly antisemitic views. It started with a video Roberts posted to X.
“Not as many people as I thought,” he told RealClearPolitics in a Saturday interview, “were ready for a little bit of nuance.”
Roberts told RCP that the backlash has further clarified something that he already believed, namely that antisemitism has become “a much more pronounced problem on part of the right.”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris attacked President Trump in a foul-mouth rant — as she melted down over his White House ballroom renovations.
“Are you f‑‑king kidding me?” Harris raged on Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast on Thursday as she accused Trump of prioritizing the renovations despite the government shutdown threatening the distribution of food aid benefits.
“This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on.”
Judge James Boasberg's chickens may finally be coming home to roost.
The Obama-nominated chief judge of the United States District Court for D.C. now faces impeachment articles that Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) filed, thanks to explosive revelations surrounding Operation Arctic Frost—a coordinated effort that saw 197 subpoenas unleashed against Republicans in Congress and citizens during the Biden administration.
The specifics make your blood boil. Then-Special Counsel Jack Smith sought Sen. Ted Cruz's communications from AT&T, and Boasberg rubber-stamped the request. But here's where it gets really ugly: Boasberg issued an order explicitly prohibiting AT&T from notifying Cruz that his records were being seized.
On Saturday, Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced an emergency order, with a city-wide curfew for anyone under 18, beginning Saturday night.
The curfew will go into effect at 11pm Nov. 1, through 6am the next morning, and will continue nightly until Nov. 5. The order gives Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela Smith the power to identify “high risk” areas in the city, where she can begin the curfew as early as 6pm. (image)
The emergency action by the DC Mayor is in response to chaos in the streets in/around the Navy Yard area where five teens were arrested and the National Guard were forced to break up several fights
The crises at the heart of the government shutdown fight in Washington were coming to a head Saturday as the federal food assistance program faced delays and millions of Americans were set to see a dramatic rise in their health insurance bills.
The impacts on basic needs — food and medical care — underscored how the impasse is hitting homes across the United States. Plans by the Trump administration to freeze payments to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program on Saturday were halted by federal judges, but the delay in payouts will still likely leave millions of people short on their grocery bills.
