Broken? Rebuilt. Stronger Than Ever ⚙️?

As left-wing violence continues to escalate, the DOJ is taking threats very seriously. A man has just been arrested for threatening to kill conservative commentator Benny Johnson, as well as his wife and their four young kids because he hates their political views. This morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal charges against 69-year-old George Isbell Jr. from San Diego who sent a sickening letter full of death threats to Benny Johnson. Watch here: BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi announces FEDERAL CHARGES against a leftist man who threatened to KILL BENNY JOHNSON “This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this…you are NOT going to get away with threatening people.” “He hated Benny because… pic.twitter.com/v3m7x7qGks — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 10, 2025 BREAKING: AG Pam Bondi announces FEDERAL CHARGES against a leftist man who threatened to KILL BENNY JOHNSON “This was a coward hiding behind a keyboard who thought he could get away with this…you are NOT going to get away with threatening people.” “He hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny DEAD.” “We have arrested the author of this letter…we are charging him federally with mailing threatening communications…if convicted, he is going to PRISON.” “This was INCREDIBLE teamwork.” @bennyjohnson “Do not do this.

He sent a letter to my home saying he hated our views and wanted us dead. He is being charged federally and faces prison time. I want to thank President Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice for immediately acting and saving my family. We are forever grateful. Left-wing violence is exploding with copycats appearing everywhere. It is the greatest threat to our country today, targeting people for simply speaking the truth. Let me be absolutely clear: We will not be silenced. We will not back down. We will not break. You lit a fire that cannot be put out. Charlie Kirk taught us to go on offense. That is exactly what we will do. We will work harder, speak louder, and grow stronger. We will continue to move TPUSA’s mission forward. For Charlie. Thank you for your strong leadership @POTUS, @AGPamBondi, and @TheJusticeDept. Notably, the horrific letter was sent to Benny Johnson on September 18th, about a week after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. A DOJ press release has more details: The Justice Department today announced a criminal complaint charging George Russell Isbell Jr., 69, of San Diego, with mailing a threatening communication. Isbell was arrested on Oct. 7 in San Diego. “Thanks to the incredible teamwork between state, local, and federal law enforcement, this coward hiding behind a keyboard was taken into custody and charged federally for mailing threatening communications,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “We cannot allow this political violence to continue any longer. This arrest will serve as a reminder to many – do not do this, we will find you and bring you to justice.” “The FBI and our partners will not tolerate threats of violence like the kind allegedly made by the defendant about a media personality,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “We will continue to investigate, pursue, and find those responsible for this conduct and ensure such criminals are held to full account in our justice system.” “Unfortunately, a rise in political threats has been accompanied by a rise in political violence,” said U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe for the Middle District of Florida. “We take all threats of violence seriously and will continue to respond in close coordination with our law enforcement partners and prosecute the authors of such threatening communications.” According to the complaint, on or about Sept. 18, Isbell mailed a letter from San Diego threatening to injure his victim, a media personality located in Tampa, Florida, and telling his victim that the victim needed “to be exterminated.” In the letter, he referenced one of the victim’s friends, Mr. Charlie Kirk, a conservative political activist who had recently been killed during a public engagement on a college campus. After writing that he hoped that the American flag “strangles the life out of you,” the letter went on to state: “Maybe someone will blow your head off!!! We can hope! Planning any public engagements? Love to see your head explode and your blood stain the concrete red. What a sight!”. If convicted, Isbell faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The FBI Tampa Field Office and the Tampa Police Department are investigating the case, with assistance from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Additional support was provided by the FBI San Diego Field Office, the San Diego Police Department, and the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office. Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Wheeler III for the Middle District of Florida is prosecuting the case. Threatening to murder someone who disagrees with your politics, as well as their beautiful family and young children, is absolutely unacceptable. Make an example out of this guy! Please keep Benny Johnson and his family in your prayers, and continue to pray for the safety of everyone who is aligned with the mission of restoring the values that made America great. These are dangerous times. What is your thought?

If you haven’t heard the news, the Nobel Peace Prize was shockingly NOT awarded to President Trump today. Despite the crescendo of calls touting the extreme peace-making accomplishments of President Trump throughout the 9 months of his current term… Despite ending a total of 8 wars, including the Gaza conflict between Hamas and Israel… The Nobel Committee did not see fit to award him the prized honor. It might even be more accurate to say they didn’t consider him to BE ‘fit’ for the prize, peace work aside. Judging by the remarks made by the Chair of the Nobel Prize Committee following this morning’s award announcement, President Trump never stood a chance. Just listen to the response (and even the phrasing of the question to begin with) given by the Nobel Price Chair Jorgen Frydnes when he was asked directly why they surprisingly chose NOT to award the price to President Trump: Nobel Committee Chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes defends not giving Trump of prestigious award https://t.co/9evZNu4AFn pic.twitter.com/zJYQplOiLJ — New York Post (@nypost) October 10, 2025 According to the Chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee, President Trump’s enormous success in stopping wars and bringing peace to millions wasn’t enough. In his own words, Jorgen Frydnes insinuated that President Trump was lacking the ‘courage and integrity’ necessary to be a legitimate contender for the Nobel Prize. However, a certain amount of poetic justice did just come to light following that snub. The opposition leader standing in opposition to Nicolas Maduro’s dictatorial rule in Venezuela — who DID receive the award — just dedicated it to President Trump! Benny Johnson broke that news and quoted her statement made on X: NEW: Nobel Peace Prize winner María Corina Machado praises President Trump and dedicates her award to him: “We are on the threshold of victory — and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the… pic.twitter.com/ZfhLwZKkGu — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) October 10, 2025 Here’s the full text of that post in case that is hard to read: “We are on the threshold of victory — and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve freedom and democracy.” I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause.” Apparently the timing of the award may have technically played into President Trump being skipped over. But then, why the unnecessary snub? The technical timing of President Trump’s nomination and the work he has recently done in the way of peace work actually didn’t line up well with THIS year’s award. But again, if that is the case… why didn’t they just say THAT. Apparently, they simply think President Trump isn’t ‘Noble enough’, according to the New York Post: Not Nobel enough? The head of the Nobel Peace Prize tried to justify not giving the award to President Trump early Friday — subtly suggesting the commander-in-chief was not worthy of the illustrious award despite his historic breakthroughs seeking the end of the Israel-Hamas war. However, the deadline for nominations was Jan. 31 — just days into Trump’s second term in office — meaning all nominations Trump has earned this year for settling conflicts across the world are for the 2026 prize. Still, instead of pointing out the timing, Frydnes suggested that a last-minute switch wasn’t made because the US leader doesn’t live up to it. While the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee made its decision on Monday, many of the president’s allies made a last-minute pitch to have Trump win the award after he brokered a peace deal between Israel and Hamas days later. Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu was among them, sharing an AI image of Trump with an award around his neck on Thursday with the caption: “Give @realDonaldTrump the Nobel Peace Prize – he deserves it!” President Trump may have actually hinted at today’s snub less than 24 hours ago. Just yesterday the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee’s neighbor in the Nordic region of the world enjoyed a sit-down with President Trump. Finland’s President discussed several topics in the Oval Office with reporters present, and you can bet the topic of who should get the Nobel award came up. While the Finish President sidestepped the question — President Trump clarified that his work getting peace deals over the last 9 months wasn’t about getting an award. Check out this clip of that moment, and see if you see what I see. He knows they would never give it to him in a million years!  Am I wrong?: And he said as much — that they would never give him the Nobel Peace Prize — even more plainly almost a month ago. Check out THIS clip.  This is from an Associated Press video report on YouTube back when the President hosted Azerbaijan and Armenian leaders at the White House for — WAIT FOR IT — another historic peace deal. He knew it then… there’s nothing he could do that would ever lead to the Norwegian Nobel Peace Price Committee handing him that award: Instead, they gave it to someone who has admittedly stood against a dictator responsible for plenty of bloodshed and turmoil in his own country. But… does that compare with the enormous global impact President Trump has had on the balance of peace in the WORLD? Not according to the Nobel Prize Committee, as reported by The Daily Mail: Donald Trump was today snubbed by Nobel Peace Prize judges – who instead awarded the coveted prize to a Venezuelan politician, despite the President brokering peace in Gaza. The Nobel Committee selected opposition leader María Corina Machado for this year’s award. She was honoured ‘for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy,’ said Jorgen Watne Frydnes, the chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo. The US President’s name, heavily floated in the media in recent weeks, did not make the final cut. Speculation he could win the award this year began after he brokered the historic peace agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the two-year war in Gaza. Machado was lauded for being a ‘key, unifying figure in a political opposition that was once deeply divided – an opposition that found common ground in the demand for free elections and representative government,’ said Frydnes. ‘In the past year, Miss Machado has been forced to live in hiding. Despite serious threats against her life, she has remained in the country, a choice that has inspired millions. ‘When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,’ he said. President Nicolás Maduro’s government routinely targeted its real or perceived opponents ahead of last year’s presidential election. Machado was set to run against Maduro, but the government disqualified her. Edmundo González took her place. He had never run for office before. The crackdown on dissent only increased after the country’s National Electoral Council, which is stacked with Maduro loyalists, declared him the winner despite credible evidence to the contrary. If it wasn’t for the fact that President Trump DOES exist and DID accomplish so much — I’d lean towards agreeing that the Venezuelan opposition leader probably is a good choice for a winner! Just listen to Jorgen go into all the details he says put her at the top of the short list of candidates. But while you listen… keep in mind just the most recent peace agreement President Trump just reached with Israel, Hamas, and multiple Mideast players: “We want to send a message to all authoritarian leaders: choose ballots, not bullets.” Jørgen Watne Frydnes, Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, shares insights into the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize and tells us why Maria Corina Machado was awarded the prize: “She is an… pic.twitter.com/5PfsZK0pUU — The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 10, 2025 I get it — she’s really in a tough fight against a truly dangerous authoritarian dictator! But… Trump!? Are you kidding me? In terms of GLOBAL PEACE, the two situations don’t even compare. President Trump absolutely nailed the truth in that clip from last month when he said outright that nothing he could ever do would convince them to award him that prize. Nothing.  Ever. But like all true heroes of freedom, they don’t do it for some worldly prize — exactly as President Trump summed up in that Associated Press video report. Those kinds of people just do what they do… because it’s the right thing to do. Not to please some Norwegian activist sitting atop some lofty self-described ‘peace’ organization, unable to keep his own TDS under wraps. Your thought?

The Nobel Peace Prize winner has been announced. And, of course, the Committee snubbed President Trump to instead give the award to Venezuelan peace activist Maria Corina Machado. But, in a huge twist, Machado immediately dedicated the prize to President Trump! Take a look: The Nobel Peace Prize Committee awarded it to a Venezuelan peace activist today, and you know what she did? Dedicated it to President Trump She knows freedom for the Venezuelan people from narcoterrorism will be due to the efforts of the Trump administration pic.twitter.com/qw0DcV9cHi — DC_Draino (@DC_Draino) October 10, 2025   Here’s Maria Machado’s full statement on X: This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.

We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause! This is so awesome. I bet that’s the Nobel Peace Committee was expecting! Reuters has more: Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for fighting dictatorship in the country and dedicated the award in part to U.S. President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly insisted he deserved it. Machado, a 58-year-old industrial engineer who lives in hiding, was blocked in 2024 by Venezuela’s courts from running for president and thus challenging President Nicolas Maduro, who has been in power since 2013. “Oh my God … I have no words,” Machado told the secretary of the award body, Kristian Berg Harpviken, in a phone call which the Nobel Committee posted on social media. “I thank you so much, but I hope you understand this is a movement, this is an achievement of a whole society. I am just one person. I certainly do not deserve it,” she added. Don’t get me wrong: after ending eight wars in a single year, President Trump absolutely deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize. But, in many ways, this is even better than President Trump outright receiving the award himself. Honestly this is almost better than Trump getting it. Her dedicating it to Trump and by doing so, giving a gigantic middle finger to the Nobel Peace Prize Committee… …yeah, that’s even better than Trump getting it Hats off to Maria. — Matt Van Swol (@matt_vanswol) October 10, 2025 What are your thoughts?

JPMorgan Chase has informed staff members moving into its new Manhattan headquarters they will be required to submit their biometric data to enter the building. The policy, to make biometric enrollment mandatory, is a first among major U.S. banks. It has raised concerns over privacy, consent, and the expanding use of surveillance in the workplace, Biometric Update noted. JPMorgan requiring biometric data for staff access to new headquarters https://t.co/OXFmGkcNSq — Financial Times (@FT) October 10, 2025 Biometric Update has more: Internal communications reviewed by the Financial Times and The Guardian confirm that JPMorgan employees assigned to the new building have been told they must enroll their fingerprints or undergo an eye scan to access the premises. Earlier drafts of the plan described the system as voluntary, but reports say that language has quietly disappeared. A company spokesperson declined to clarify how data will be stored or how long it will be retained, citing security concerns. Some staff reportedly may retain the option of using a badge instead, though the criteria for exemption remain undisclosed. The biometric access requirement is being rolled out alongside a Work at JPMC smartphone app that doubles as a digital ID badge and internal service platform, allowing staff to order meals, navigate the building, or register visitors. The bank’s new headquarters, a $3 billion, 60-story tower, will eventually house about 10,000 employees once it’s fully occupied. JP Morgan’s biometric mandate signals new era of workplace surveillance in finance#accesscontrol #biometrics #dataprivacy #digitalID https://t.co/Y2s0sMHi4S — Biometric Update (@BiometricUpdate) October 10, 2025 The Guardian shared further info: Biometric enrolment is understood to remain voluntary at other JP Morgan offices, including London, where voluntary hand biometrics have been introduced at its Bank Street office. This process involves an employee’s hand print being encrypted so the company does not have access to the data. This system operates in a similar fashion to Apple’s Face ID option on iPhones, where the Silicon Valley company cannot access customers’ facial data. Alongside the introduction of palm and eye scanners, the company has also launched the “Work at JPMC” mobile app, which works as a digital badge and hub for employee services. The app allows staff to manage guest registration, navigate indoor maps of the building and pre-order meals from the building’s 19 on-site dining vendors.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation that requires social media companies to provide users with a straightforward method to delete their accounts and remove their personal data. “Governor Newsom signed AB 656, which requires social media companies to make it clear and easy for a user to delete their account – and requires that deletion also trigger full deletion of the user’s personal data,” Newsom’s office stated in a press release. “This law builds on the administration’s prior work to protect consumers and their privacy,” it added. The legislation is the first-of-its-kind in the country and other states are expected to follow. “Your data should be just that — YOURS,” Newsom said. Your data should be just that — YOURS. https://t.co/JFEKYkrRlX — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) October 10, 2025 More from KTLA: Assembly Bill 656, authored by Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D – Chatsworth ), is a bipartisan bill that strengthens consumer protections in California by establishing a simple, straightforward process for deleting social media accounts. This bill builds on CFC and Assemblymember Schiavo’s “click-to-cancel” law, AB 2863 (2024), which protects consumers from unwanted subscriptions by making cancellations easier, saving them both time and money. “We’d like to thank Governor Newsom for signing this bill and Assemblymember Schiavo for her dedication and hard work to protect consumers,” said CFC Executive Director Robert Herrell. “Consumers shouldn’t feel trapped and forced to navigate a Kafkaesque nightmare to delete unwanted social media accounts. It should be a simple process for consumers to delete their accounts and take their data with them. This is simple common sense and now California has some of the most comprehensive laws in the nation on this issue. From paid subscriptions to free accounts, consumers deserve easy control, and AB 656 helps us make that a reality.” Assemblymember Schiavo stated, “As the mother of a teen, I worry about the toll that social media takes on our children’s mental health. And unfortunately, these platforms are designed to maintain engagement, which deepens addiction. With AB 656 becoming law, California is giving our kids and anyone experiencing the mental health challenges related to social media a clear and easy way to delete their account and personal information from the platform.” Currently, deleting an account one no longer wants, even accounts that were free to sign up for where no regular payment is required, is far too complex and burdensome. Many consumers find that even after you press the “delete account” button, their account is not deleted and could take up to 90 days for a full deletion. In some cases, this button is also buried deep within the accounts settings, taking users as much as 20 steps to request the deletion of their accounts and consumers have to resort to looking up tutorials online to navigate the process. “It shouldn’t be hard to delete social media accounts, and it shouldn’t be even harder to take back control of personal data. With these bills, social media users can be assured that when they delete their accounts, they do not leave their data behind,” Newsom said. California passed a law requiring social media companies to delete your personal data when you deactivate your account. pic.twitter.com/1aozj07g2e — Pirat_Nation (@Pirat_Nation) October 9, 2025 ConsumerAffairs noted: These laws build on the Governor’s prior work to protect consumers and their privacy. That includes last year’s Click to Cancel bill, AB 2863 by Assemblymember Schiavo, that made it easier to cancel subscriptions, and 2023’s SB 362 by Senator Josh Becker, the DELETE Act, which, beginning in August 2026, will allow Californians to delete all of their data held by data brokers through a single interface. A previous measure gave Californians the right to send opt-out signals, but major browsers have not had to make opt-outs simple to use. The bill signed Wednesday would require them to set up an easy-to-find mechanism that lets Californians opt-out with the push of a button, instead of having to do so repeatedly when visiting individual websites. It’s the first law of its kind in the country. “These signals are going to be available to millions more people and it’s going to be much easier for them to opt out,” said Matt Schwartz, a policy analyst at Consumer Reports, in published remarks.

One shouldn’t be surprised that a Cat Steven’s autobiography would be a supremely honest and humble account as Cat On The Road To Findout most surely is. From his childhood growing up in England, and how his Greek background specifically   influenced his life and music, to his first stab at stardom, where a young Steven Demetre Georgiou made quite the splash on the pop world. Then, his downturn in the music business for a nearly two years, followed by what he calls his “resurgence” with what are considered classic Cat Steven hits. Cat On The Road To Findout is a twisty turning tale of a man who was as much is in search of hits as much as spiritual transcendence from an early age. I love the tales of the singer’s teenage years running around London, his career in music dovetailing with his drawing, all the characters who come in an out as he renames himself “Cat,” taking him into the midst of early 70s songwriting giants. And himself a giant coming into his own. He explores how he dealt with fame, and what it all meant then and continues to mean now in his personal journey to a better understanding of the world — something he seemed to always be searching for. I was on hand at the Barclays Center in 2014 when he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and taken with his humorous acceptance speech and the easy way he delivered some of those aforementioned classics. This autobiography just reiterates how humble and self-aware this music giant is. Along with the book is a companion music release called On The Road To Findout: Greatest Hits. There’s 47 songs highlighting the long career of this unique musical storyteller. This includes classics like “The Wind,” “Peace Train,” “Where Do The Children Play?” and “Wild World,” newly remastered from Cat Steven’s debut Matthew & Son through 2023’s King Of A Land. This music collection also features a 24-page lyric booklet and more never-before-seen reflections from the man himself. All this presents quite the definitive deep dive, the first-ever of its kind. The kind of collection of words and music very few artists ever afford us. Coming away from it, one can’t but feel that it might indeed be a “wild world.”  Having Cat Stevens / Yusuf in it, makes it a little easier to take. ~ Ralph Greco, Jr. Purchase Cat On The Road To Findout & Greatest Hits
