Employers across the U.S. added 119,000 jobs in September, marking a pickup after previous employment data had shown a slowdown in hiring. The report marks the first official job tally since the government shutdown ended last week, ending a six-week blackout on labor data.

House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal.
Reps. Chris Deluzio (PA-17), Chrissy Houlahan (PA-6), Maggie Goodlander (NH-2), and Jason Crow (CO-6), along with Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), tried agitating some troops and intelligence officials into potentially illegal actions of their own by defying orders they personally interpret as unlawful. It was a startling effort. The message was clear. They laid it out quite clearly, referencing "this administration" and how it
The Biden Justice Department secretly obtained more than two years worth of Representative Jim Jordan’s (R., Ohio) phone records during its sweeping investigation into the role President Donald Trump played in the Capitol riot.
Without his knowledge, the Biden administration targeted Jordan’s phone records weeks after the Biden administration launched its “Arctic Frost” investigation, according to records Jordan released Thursday night as part of his investigation into the role Verizon and AT&T played in “Arctic Frost.”
Male inmates at an all-female prison in Fort Worth, Texas, are temporarily restricted from entering or using female-only private areas, a judge decided this week. It is the first time a federal court has ruled that male inmates must be sex-segregated in women’s prisons.
The Federal Medical Center, Carswell is a formerly women-only prison in Texas that currently houses several men who identify as women. FMC Carswell recently housed dozens of people who identify as trans or intersex, according to a federal report.
Female inmates have for years petitioned the state to separate trans-identifying men from women’s private spaces.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The National Transportation Safety Board has issued its preliminary report into the crash of UPS 2976 , an MD-11F bound for Honolulu that crashed on takeoff at Muhammad International Airport.
The preliminary report was released 16 days after the crash.
The three crewmembers were killed, as were 11 people on the ground. There were also 23 injuries as a result of the crash.
The initial report shows that the taxi and takeoff roll were uneventful. The Flight Data Recorder contained about 63 hours of data that spanned 24 flights, including the crash. Initial investigation revealed that the left engine and left pylon detached during takeoff.

With a little less than a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, a Marist Poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by a massive +14 points in the generic ballot.
“Democrats currently have a 14-point lead against the Republicans among registered voters nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot question,” writes Marist. “This has changed considerably. Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.”
This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”
Yesterday we learned that a three judge panel had ruled 2-1 that Texas would not be allowed to use newly drawn maps in the midterm elections. U.S. District Judge Jeffrey V. Brown, who is a Trump appointee, joined U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama, an Obama appointee, to demand the state return to its previously drawn maps. The core of their ruling was that the goal of the redistricting was not partisan political advantage, but racial gerrymandering.
The state had argued that the entire redistricting process was based on a partisan goal, which the U.S. Supreme Court has previously said courts cannot intervene to prevent. But the plaintiffs pointed to a letter

Larry Summers, the former treasury secretary and ex-president of Harvard University, announced Wednesday he would resign from the board of directors at OpenAI amid scrutiny on his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — ties that are now the subject of a new internal investigation at the Ivy League school.
"In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI," Summers said in a statement Wednesday. "I am grateful for the opportunity to have served, excited about the potential of the company, and look forward to following their progress."

Romper Room As Retaliation Planned for
One Who Went Rogue 4 replies
Democrat Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03) did the right thing in pushing for a vote on a "disapproval resolution" against one of her leftist colleagues, and now she must pay the price.
That is the gist of the latest drama playing out among the House Democrat Caucus after the lower chamber voted on Tuesday in favor of the resolution, with 23 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote with Republicans (236-183-4) in what ended up being a deeply humiliating moment not just for Rep. Jesús "Chuy" Garcia (IL-04) but for Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), who had urged his caucus to vote against it.
In a nutshell,
Has New York's Mayor-elect, the "Democratic Socialist" (Communist) Zohran Mamdani, found a cynical way to appease his Islamic constituency while also making nicey-nice with his "woke" supporters? Because his latest loony-left policy proposal sure makes it look like he's trying to do just that. Townhall's Amy Curtis has details:
This is such a good point that this writer is mad she didn't connect the dots first. She has, however, written several articles about Zohran Mamdani and his troubling anti-gay ties. This includes a relationship with Ugandan politician Rebecca Kadaga, who supported legislation that would imprison gays for life; Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who called gays the "disease of society"
Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned.
The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN).
The cash was awarded from a “Champions of Justice Fund,” set up by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) as “institutional endorsement,” the report claims.
In California, the largest arm of the CAIR web of nonprofits,
The Epstein chimera

From The Hill newspaper,
Senate unanimously approves bill to force release of Epstein files.
No doubt that Pres. Trump will quickly sign the measure. Also from The Hill,
The Senate agreed by unanimous consent Tuesday to approve a House-passed bill to require the Justice Department to release all unclassified records and documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, sending the bill to President Trump’s desk for a signature.
UNCLASSIFED? What, what? So this entire pointless exercise just got more pointless (pointlesser? pointleast?). What about other government agencies, like the CIA or NSA?

Questions for the First Time Since Rebrand Disaster 35 replies
Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere. Like Bud Light's partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel's new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren't changing a thing.
ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein’s crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout.
Despite the Democrats’ best efforts, the recent dump
Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., announced on Thursday he is launching a campaign for California governor in 2026. The congressman and longtime foe of President Donald Trump made the announcement during an appearance on the late-night show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
"He’s going to hate tonight’s episode," Swalwell wrote on X in response to a social media post from the president criticizing Kimmel for being "biased" and having "no talent." The Democrat lawmaker vowed to be a "protector and fighter" if elected governor.
Worst Living President Turns 83
22 replies
When Joe Biden, the worst living president of the United States, entered the world in 1942, there were still people alive who fought in the Civil War. Now he's celebrating his 83rd birthday. He is joined in celebration by his conniving wife, Dr. Jill Biden, his crackhead lothario son, Hunter Biden, his utterly disgraced former White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, and other deranged weirdos who view Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 campaign as a national tragedy.
If the Biden clan had gotten their way, we'd be less than halfway through the first half of President Biden's second term in office. He would be confined to his basement and getting treated
When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020.
RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.
Dick Cheney's funeral was held on Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Cheney served as Vice President under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. He died on Nov. 3, at 84 years old, "due to complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease." Bush and Cheney's daughter, Liz, gave the eulogies.
What got a lot of talk on social media about was who was there - and who wasn't.
Starting with the "who wasn't," President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were not invited. Cheney and his daughter were big critics of Trump, and they supported Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential run.
Charlotte, N.C., is making headlines this week because dozens of construction sites have gone silent. ICE swept through the region, and the labor force evaporated almost instantly. A major American city discovered, in real time, that its building boom was being held together by workers who couldn’t legally be there. Watching that footage hit me hard, because I’ve seen it before — not on the evening news, but in the slow collapse of my own childhood community. [Video]
I grew up forty miles north of Louisville, Ky., in a one-stoplight town held together by tobacco, construction, and the kinds of gritty jobs that built the region’s character.
A prominent Muslim advocacy organization is taking Texas to court, arguing that Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to brand it a "foreign terrorist organization" tramples both the U.S. Constitution and state law. The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin chapters filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to overturn Abbott’s proclamation issued earlier in the week.
"This attempt to punish the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization simply because Governor Abbott disagrees with its views is not only contrary to the United States Constitution, but finds no support in any Texas law," the group said in its lawsuit.
Founded in 1994, CAIR operates 25 chapters nationwide,
Liberal loudmouth Rep. Jasmine Crockett gave a mind-boggling explanation for why she accused Lee Zeldin and other Republicans on the House floor of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein — desperately insisting she never said she was referring to the late convicted pedophile.
Crockett (D-Texas) tried to defend herself Wednesday night in a CNN appearance after she was ripped for boldly implying that she’d found evidence linking the Long Island Republican and other prominent GOPers to the disgraced financier, who died in 2019.
“Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,” Crockett told “The Source” host Kaitlin Collins after being given the chance to correct the record.
The wealthy oceanfront town of Carmel, California, has banned pickleball in its public park after residents complained that the constant sound of paddles striking balls was too noisy.
The Carmel City Council voted earlier this month to permanently prohibit the sport at Forest Hill Park, the only public pickleball location within city limits, marking the first such ban in the state, according to sfgate.com.
Residents reported that the "popping" sound had been echoing through the neighborhood as players participated in the game that has grown in popularity, particularly among seniors and retirees, the outlet reported.
