Yesterday, I sat down in my local theater to watch Leonardo DiCaprio’s new film, One Battle After Another. DiCaprio has long been known as a social-justice advocate, and over the past decade his film choices increasingly carry political undertones. My first encounter with this was during The Revenant, when he used that film’s publicity to highlight climate change. His latest is no different. In One Battle After Another, the narrative centers on immigration struggles, portraying antagonists as...

Monday evening flights into multiple major cities were delayed as the government shutdown continued, just hours after the Department of Transportation (DOT) warned that the funding halt has led to stressed-out air traffic controllers calling out sick as they wait to get paid again. “This shutdown has put way more stress on our controllers,” Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy said during a press conference at New Jersey’s Newark Liberty International Airport.

Flight delays are expected across the country for a third straight day on Wednesday as the Federal Aviation Administration braced for more airport staffing shortages amid the ongoing government shutdown. Within the last 48 hours, delays due to air traffic controller staffing shortages were reported at airports in Boston; Burbank, California; Chicago; Denver; Houston; Las Vegas; Nashville, Tennessee; Newark, New Jersey; Philadelphia; and Phoenix, according to the FAA.

Staffing shortages are contributing to ground delays, longer wait times and travel modifications at airports across the country due to the government shutdown.  Passengers expecting speedy layovers and smooth transitions in some major cities have been jolted by unexpected delays or cancellations.  

Many people freeze their bread to make it last longer and prevent waste without ever realizing they’re giving themselves an added health benefit. As UK-based surgeon Dr. Karan Rangarajan explained on TikTok, “If you take a slice of white bread and then freeze it, and then defrost it and toast it again, you could lower the glycemic index of the bread by almost double.”When bread is frozen, the starches inside undergo a chemical process called retrogradation, causing them to become more compact and crystalline. When this happens, those digestible starches become resistant starches, which don’t get digested in the small intestine, and instead move to the large intestine to be digested by our “good” gut bacteria. In this way, the resistant starches act more like prebiotics. Think of the money you’ll save on fiber supplements! @dr.karanr Kitchen hacks ♬ original sound - Dr Karan Rajan While this doesn’t significantly reduce calories (boo), the resulting benefits can include better blood sugar levels, a controlled appetite, a healthier gut microbiome, a reduced risk of colon cancer, improved digestion, and even lower cholesterol levels.And this hack isn’t just for white bread. You can also try it on rice, pasta, and other similar dishes. See on Instagram Is toasting bread healthier for you?Furthermore, freezing followed by toasting white bread can be a glycemic-lowering double whammy, according to studies. This is a byproduct of the Maillard reaction, a fancy name for the crispy, browning process that naturally occurs when heat meets protein, sugar, or starch. It’s what gives us the crunchy, nutty, savory goodness we know and love. This sounds like good news for folks who are fans of directly freezing, defrosting, and toasting white bread, and science seems to support that theory further. Should you freeze and toast bread?One study (albeit with a small sample size) involved ten healthy adults who sampled both homemade and store-bought white bread prepared in four ways: fresh, frozen, then defrosted, and toasted, or toasted after freezing and defrosting. Researchers discovered that fresh bread had the most significant effect on blood sugar levels, while the other methods significantly reduced the blood sugar response. Freezing followed by toasting held the highest score in this regard.However, neither toasting nor freezing magically turns white bread toast into a fat-burning superfood. These improvements are quantifiable, but slight in the grand scheme of things. Meaning that the freeze-toast method becomes moot, followed by gobs of syrup or other sugary fix-ins. It also goes without saying that opting for whole-grain bread nearly eliminates the need for this strategy if health is our goal. Still, little things like this, primarily when we intentionally aim for a truly balanced diet, do add up. If nothing else, let this be a reminder that if you are a bread-lover (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), there are healthy ways to incorporate it into your routine.

The fake news is now building the narrative that Trump has caused a recession. It has begun. Trump has trapped the [DS]/[CB] in the tariff money, he will use it to push the reversal of the impoundment act of 1974. Trump is now setting the stage. He putting all the pieces in place. He is moving the NG into position, he is building the narrative for the insurrection so the people understand what is about to happen. Comey is now isolated, in the game of chess you isolate the knight, the pressure is now on Comey. Trump has the leverage and the people are with him, the polls show this.   Economy EU proposes 50% steel tariffs to counter Trump The European Commission has proposed a 50% tariff on steel imports above an annual quota, claiming the move will protect the EU’s metals industry from international competition and US duties. An agreement struck earlier this year by EC President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump, viewed in the EU as lopsided, set a baseline 15% US tariff on most exports from the bloc, but left steel and aluminum at 50%. Source: rt.com  Steel-using sectors like automotive, construction, and appliances—consuming millions of tonnes annually—face rising input prices, potentially adding to production costs and consumer inflation. The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) has warned the measures “go too far,” risking competitiveness in global markets.  Diverted cheap steel could flood unprotected markets, but within the EU, it may lead to shortages or imbalances if quotas are exhausted quickly. This protectionism could spark retaliatory tariffs, fracturing global trade and harming EU exporters.  Analyses suggest short-term gains for steel (e.g., price floors) are outweighed by long-term damage, including higher overall prices and reduced efficiency in integrated value chains. Emerging markets might see surplus dumping, indirectly pressuring EU trade partners.  the tariffs are likely to hurt parts of the EU economy—particularly downstream industries through higher costs and potential inflation—but they could provide a net benefit to the steel sector by saving jobs and enabling sustainability investments.  The Trump recession may already be upon us A Trump recession is reportedly already crashing down on many American families, and Republicans have only themselves to blame. Twenty-two states and Washington, D.C., are experiencing recessions, while another 13 states are flashing serious economic warning signs, according to an estimate from economic research firm Moody’s. Moody’s finds that both red and blue states are being dragged into these poor economic circumstances, but those two groups won’t hurt equally. Contracting red states, like Iowa and West Virginia, are already struggling to overcome the hangover effects of Trump’s sweeping cuts to federal services. Those states are now more vulnerable to sudden spikes in community need, such as for food assistance, which Trump’s government slashed. As the United States careens toward a recession that Republicans swear isn’t real, it will be the nation’s low-income and working families who bear the brunt. If the economic situation continues degrading across the Great Plains and the Rust Belt, the GOP may soon find they have more than blue states’ “soft secession” to worry about. If our national economy truly begins to decouple, struggling red states may be eager to join the growing stampede away from Washington.   Source: dailykos.com The Democrats are so cruel in their continual votes to shut down the government that they forced the WIC program for the most vulnerable women and children to run out this week. Thankfully, President Trump and the White House have identified a creative solution to transfer… https://t.co/tj9Xt7f4yQ — Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) October 7, 2025     Regarding the current Trump administration’s plan to redirect about $190 billion in Section 232 tariff revenues to fund the WIC program amid the October 2025 government shutdown, legal experts and critics argue this violates these principles, as Congress has not appropriated those specific funds for WIC. The move has been called illegal by some, potentially breaching the separation of powers and the “power of the purse,” though no court challenge has been resolved as of October 8, 2025. The White House defends it as executive discretion over unappropriated general revenues, but it risks lawsuits under the Impoundment Control Act or constitutional grounds. The Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (ICA) is a U.S. federal law that restricts the President’s authority to withhold or refuse to spend funds appropriated by Congress, a practice known as “impoundment.” Enacted as Title X of the broader Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-344), it was signed into law on July 12, 1974, t  The ICA emerged amid escalating tensions over executive impoundments during the Nixon administration, which withheld up to $18 billion (about 5-10% of federal outlays) in the early 1970s to oppose congressional spending priorities, particularly on environmental and social programs amid the Vietnam War and economic pressures. This built on earlier precedents, such as Thomas Jefferson’s 1803 withholding of gunboat funds due to changed circumstances or Franklin D. Roosevelt’s World War II-era impoundments of public works funding, but Nixon’s scale prompted lawsuits (e.g., Train v. City of New York, 420 U.S. 35 (1975)) and congressional backlash. A 1972 law (P.L. 92-599) required basic reporting on impoundments, but it proved insufficient. The ICA was incorporated into H.R. 7130, a budget reform bill, passing the House overwhelmingly (386-23) in December 1973 and the Senate unanimously (80-0) in March 1974, before final approval in June.     The timing—just three years after Nixon’s August 1971 “Nixon Shock,” which unilaterally ended the U.S. dollar’s convertibility to gold and dismantled the Bretton Woods system—was not coincidental     the gold standard effectively acted like a form of impoundment on fiscal expansion. Under this system (in place in the U.S. from 1900 until 1933 domestically, and internationally until 1971), governments could not freely print money to fund deficits because the currency supply was tied to finite gold reserves. This created a hard limit on spending: exceeding it risked depleting reserves, triggering deflation, capital flight, or economic contraction. It “impounded” potential spending power by design, enforcing discipline through market forces rather than presidential fiat.Key similarities to impoundment:   Just as impoundment withholds allocated funds to curb overspending, the gold standard withheld monetary expansion. Governments couldn’t “spend” beyond their gold backing without consequences like investor flight—gold would flow to more stable economies, forcing austerity.  : It compelled balanced budgets or gold inflows to sustain spending, mirroring how impoundment was used (e.g., by presidents like Jefferson or Nixon) to avoid deficits.   Political/Rights BREAKING: Arrest Made in Connection to Deadly Palisades Fire – DOJ IDs Suspect Who Intentionally Set Fire: 29-Year-Old Jonathan Rinderknecht (VIDEO) Jonathan Rinderknecht arrested for intentionally starting Pacific Palisades fire More left-wing terrorism?

Here’s a breakdown.    “The Pullman Strike (1894) and Railroad Strike (1877) were both considered state active duty,” said Adriana Schroeder, command historian for the Illinois National Guard. “Both of those involved the union, spread throughout the United States, and drew the attention of the president who was in close communications with the governors of the affected states.”   In 1992, Chicago Housing Authority Chairman Vincent Lane requested Mayor Richard M. Daley activate the National Guard to help sweep the Cabrini-Green public housing development after a sniper killed 7-year-old Dantrell Davis, but that ultimately wasn’t part of Daley’s 11-point plan. Violence in the city during 2008, prompted then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich to offer troops, but Mayor Daley refused to accept them.   Great Railroad Strike (1877)   A rail strike that started in West Virginia grew into a national struggle between industrialists and workers, with Chicago a hotbed of the dispute. Workers demanding the eight-hour day clashed violently with police, militia and even U.S. infantry. President Rutherford Hayes deployed the Army in city after city throughout the East and Midwest, joining with local militias to restore order.   Pullman Strike (1894)   Chicago was the center of the nationwide Pullman strike, and the use of troops led to another round of death and destruction. Illinois Gov. John Altgeld, aware that intervention of the militia or the Army would only lead to a repetition of the 1877 violence, would not send the militia to Chicago and urged President Grover Cleveland to refrain from committing troops. Instead, Cleveland ordered the Army into Chicago, and the tragic events of 1877 were repeated. Race riots (1919)   Black teen Eugene Williams floated on a wooden tie past an invisible, but mutually understood, line that separated a Black beach at 29th Street from a white beach at 26th Street. White youths threw rocks at him, according to later investigations, and Williams, who could not swim, was hit and drowned.   West Side riots (1966)   Chicago police shut off a fire hydrant on July 12, 1966, at 1233 S. Throop St., on the Near West Side. Donald Henry was arrested when police said he reopened it. That’s when Henry apparently told onlookers, “You’re not going to let these policemen arrest me. Why don’t you do something about it.”   March in Cicero (1966)   Black college student Jerome Huey went to Cicero on May 25, 1966, to interview at a freight loading company. On his way back to the bus stop that evening, according to Tribune archives, four white teens attacked him with a baseball bat as he walked alone near 25th Street and Laramie Avenue. Huey died in a hospital four days later.   Riots after the assassination of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (1968) On April 4, 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tenn. As the tragic news spread, riots and looting took place in cities including New York, Washington, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. In Chicago, on the first night of rioting, nine people, all Black, were killed.   Democratic National Convention (1968)   Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey was nominated at the stormy convention that was marked by riots on the streets as well as raucous political demonstrations on the floor of the Chicago Amphitheatre. Gov. Samuel Shapiro ordered the National Guard to assist the almost 12,000 Chicago police officers, 1,000 federal agents and 7,500 U.S. soldiers already on duty to maintain law and order during the convention. Almost 10,000 members of the Illinois National Guard responded, Leighton said. First anniversary of King’s assassination (1969)   At least 89 people were injured and 263 arrested on the West and Near North sides of the city on April 3, 1969, after a day full of “fighting, stoning of cars and drivers, looting and some sniper gunfire in the streets,” the Tribune reported. Five thousand National Guard members were activated by Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie as a precautionary measure at the request of Mayor Daley. “This is certainly not in keeping with the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King and nothing is going to be gained by this kind of conduct,” Ogilvie said. ‘Days of Rage’ (1969)   Starting on a Wednesday night in a field in Lincoln Park where a year before thousands of demonstrators had clashed with police during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the self-proclaimed Days of Rage were meaner, better planned and more violent. On the night of Oct. 8, 1969, hundreds of demonstrators summoned to Chicago by leaders of the radical Students for a Democratic Society to protest the ongoing Chicago 8 trial of the leaders of the convention riots erupted into a destructive orgy of violence.   Chicago Bulls championship (1997)   The Phoenix Suns used Chicago’s call for the National Guard to be “on alert” in 1993, as a “rallying cry.” But by the Bulls’ run to their fifth championship in 1997, the city’s officials were proactive in attempting to end the riots and looting that often accompanied the celebration. Mayor Richard M. Daley had approximately 6,000 police officers and another 2,000 National Guard members ready to hit the streets.    Protests after George Floyd’s death (2020)   Gov. Pritzker called for 375 Illinois National Guard members to assist police in quelling the unrest as protests over the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, in Minneapolis had given way to looting, vandalism and violent clashes in parts of Chicago. Mayor Lori Lightfoot made the request, which marked the first time since Mayor Richard J. Daley brought in troops for the ill-fated Democratic National Convention in 1968. Verdict in Derek Chauvin trial (2021) Gov. Pritzker activated on April 19, 2021, 125 members of the Illinois National Guard again at the request of Mayor Lightfoot in anticipation of a verdict in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with killing Floyd. Chauvin was convicted in Floyd’s death.

From the perspective of Obama, Comey and Brennan, expanding Hillary Clinton’s Trump-Russia collusion narrative was the key element to hide the activity of the administration prior to the November 2016 election.  That’s the motive for the FBI and CIA to collaborate on the agenda after the shocking outcome of the 2016 election result; but pay close attention to the activity of the primary “at risk” official, James Comey.   Donald Trump was not expected to win the election.  When he did, all of the participants were suddenly at risk. President Obama and every member of his cabinet involved in the spying operations, then used Clinton’s “Russiagate” smear to cover up Obama’s “Spygate” activity. The IRS was used to identify targets 2010 through 2012, until discovered in April ’12. Suddenly, President Obama has a problem. President Obama then sends his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, to run the IRS and block discoveries around the IRS weaponization. From 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration was spying on their political opposition using the FBI to conduct surveillance through their access to the NSA database. In April 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted by the NSA compliance officer who noted the uptick in database access activity by the FBI searching the Republican primary candidate field. Post April 2016, the Obama administration had a problem. Enter FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” July 2016, in an effort to remove the political risk. October 2016, the FBI rushes a FISA application through the FISC, circumventing the missing ‘Woods File’, with the Chris Steele dossier as evidence. October 2016, NSA Director Rogers sends the first official notification of the FBI using the NSA database to the oversight body, the FISA Court. December 2016, worried about Trump now discovering the NSA database spying, the Obama administration wraps the Clinton smear into official policy, blaming the Russians and validating Crossfire Hurricane. That’s where the Intelligence Community Assessment becomes critical. May 2017, needing to extend the coverup of the FBI activity, special counsel Robert Mueller then takes over Crossfire Hurricane. All FBI evidence and personnel transfers to Mueller. April 2019, Robert Mueller operation wraps up, prior activity coverup shifts to Impeachment process. July 2019, John Durham kicks in extending DOJ/FBI control through 2020 election. Fall 2020, mail-in ballots triggered to facilitate 2020 election outcome. January 2021, FBI triggers Operation Arctic Frost, targeting Trump supporters and 2020 election researchers. FBI again using NSA database search queries to identify targeting. March 2021, FBI Arctic Frost results fed to J6 Committee and DHS. TSA trigger “Quiet Skies” targeting via results from Arctic Frost. August 2022, FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago to retrieve any evidence Donald Trump might have of FBI spying and surveillance activity. September 2023, Jack Smith targets congressional members who had contact with President Trump.   It’s one long continuum of coverup activity within Main Justice and the FBI, supported by all other various agencies who operate in support.

It no longer controls voters. pic.twitter.com/f3z87dPErV — Peter St Onge, Ph.D. (@profstonge) October 8, 2025 "They have nothing to lose." Drop 4645:All assets deployed.

But the senate is using the nuclear option to confirm his nominees Senate Republicans Just Confirmed More Than 100 Trump Nominees Despite the Schumer Shutdown (VIDEO) The Schumer Shutdown is not stopping the confirmation of Trump nominees. Senate Republicans just finished confirming more than 100 of them. This has got to be driving Democrats completely crazy. Not only are they losing the optics battle during this shutdown, they’re not stopping Trump’s agenda from moving forward. FOX News reports: Senate Republicans confirm more than 100 Trump nominees as government shutdown continues Source: thegatewaypundit.com  The letter details how President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard under 10 U.S.C. §§ 332–334 to enforce desegregation at the University of Alabama, overriding Governor George Wallace’s “unlawful obstructions” against federal authority. This was a landmark use of presidential power to protect civil rights and uphold federal law against a defiant state leader.Trump’s decision to share this document comes at a tense moment in his second term, as he’s facing legal pushback for mobilizing out-of-state National Guard units to address what he describes as “rampant crime,” “immigration protests,” and non-cooperation from “sanctuary cities.” Key developments include:   By posting the RFK letter, Trump is drawing a direct parallel: just as Kennedy used federalization to counter Wallace’s segregationist defiance, he’s positioning his Guard deployments as a necessary enforcement of federal immigration and law-and-order policies against “obstructive” Democratic governors and mayors.    Before deploying forces, the president must issue a public proclamation ordering the individuals or groups involved in the unrest to “disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.”   After the proclamation, the president may deploy forces if one of the following conditions exists (no state request is needed except under § 251): § 251 (State Request): An insurrection against a state government, upon request from the state’s legislature (or governor if the legislature cannot convene). The president may call in militia from other states and use federal armed forces as needed to suppress it. § 252 (Federal Law Enforcement): “Unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion” against U.S. authority that make it “impracticable” to enforce federal laws through ordinary judicial proceedings. The president may use militia and armed forces to enforce laws or suppress the rebellion. § 253 (Rights Deprivation or Obstruction): Any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy that: Hinders state or federal law execution, depriving people of constitutional rights where state authorities are unable, fail, or refuse to protect them; or Opposes or obstructs U.S. laws or impedes justice under them. The president’s determination of these conditions is generally conclusive, per Supreme Court precedent (e.g., Martin v. Mott, 1827), though subject to limited judicial review The Insurrection Act has no statutory expiration date or automatic termination provision. Deployments remain in effect at the president’s discretion until the president issues an order to withdraw the forces.   There is no statutory requirement to notify or consult Congress before or during invocation under the current Act. The proclamation under § 254 is transmitted to the Federal Register for public notice  Highlights from the New Harvard CAPS/Harris poll: Americans overwhelmingly support nearly all of the Trump administration's major initiatives that are listed below pic.twitter.com/xzW32lf5yw — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 7, 2025 Imagine you’re Trump in January 2017. You just miraculously won the Presidential election, damn near every soul in DC is trying to take you down by whatever means necessary, and the media has brainwashed the planet to think you’re a Russian asset/Hitler. What do you do? How do… pic.twitter.com/Y6U8xQg90q — Clandestine (@WarClandestine) October 8, 2025   expose this unfathomable corruption? How do you undo decades of disinformation and propaganda? How do you unbrainwash hundreds of millions of people? How do you tell the public that those they have been conditioned to trust are the most evil beings to ever walk this Earth? How do you tell the public that everything they’ve ever been told is a lie? It’s not as easy as just arresting people guilty of criminality. In order for there to be justice, and to ensure this NEVER happens again, the public MUST know the depth of criminality. They must witness the evil with their own eyes, and even then, they still have a hard time believing it. The point I’m getting at is, that arresting people is the easy part, but getting the public to accept that we have been compromised by evil… THAT’S the tricky part. The situation is extremely delicate, and acting irrationally or too quickly, could have catastrophic consequences. Patience. When the time comes for Trump to strike, it will be clean and swift, and the public will understand why it must be done. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED!!!!! — Dan Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) August 3, 2025
