China Declares Economic War with New Export Controls, Trump Responds With New Tariffs

The news that the horrific Palisades Fire in Los Angeles was probably caused by an arsonist contradicted all the dramatic climate-change proclamations tied to the disaster. But the evening broadcast networks took it a step further and buried the breaking news that the accused arsonist is an eco-extremist. While ABC, CBS and NBC did cover the news on October 8 that the alleged arsonist was apprehended, they completely failed to report that a revealing motive had been found through the suspect’s social media a day later.  For example, CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson even claimed during an October 8 broadcast that "officials have given no possible motive." There's been a whole string of network "news" stories failing to find a leftist motive that has become obvious to anyone outside the liberal bubble.  Gee, maybe his social media posts could give everyone somewhat of a clue, right? A New York Post exclusive reported October 9 on alleged arsonist Jonathan Rinderknecht’s social posts, which were apparently laced with anti-Trump screeds and climate-change claptrap. Rinderknecht “regularly took to Facebook to share posts about eco-apocalypses, mocking President Trump and his supporters, and pushing people to become vegans,” Post reporters Anthony Blair and Alex Oliveira noted. One article Rinderknecht shared online, per the Post, “‘Climate Change Will Force a New American Migration,’ from ProPublica – even included a thumbnail showing wildfires raging across a California hillside neighborhood.” The newspaper summarized that it was “eerily – and ironically – similar” to the grotesque crime Rinderknecht is accused of committing. None of this was newsy enough course to the typical media talking heads at ABC World News Tonight, CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly News, which all ignored the entire story during their October 9 broadcasts. Given the insane plot twist from the Palisades fire being treated as another fingerprint of climate change to the whole thing being started by a supposed climate change nutjob, no wonder ABC, CBS and NBC tried to pretend it didn’t exist. NBC Nightly News, however, conducted a pathetic rehab job to deflect backlash from the public over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) tone-deaf comments saying “every day gets better for us” in regards to the tumultuous, ongoing government shutdown.”  Defend leftists when they stick their foot in their mouths? Yeah that’s some hard-hitting news coverage (sarcasm). But how about sharing the emerging facts on the climate change-obsessed suspect who destroyed many people’s lives because of his affinity for inferno porn? Nah, we can just skip that, right ABC, CBS and NBC? But what more can you expect from what’s basically the equivalent of Democrat TV?  WATCH: The only legacy newscast mention of Schumer's "every day gets better for us" is a rehab job by NBC pic.twitter.com/3HfRb7HxC7 — Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) October 10, 2025 Rinderknecht allegedly “hiked to the hills above Los Angeles and started a brushfire. Prosecutors allege that blaze was never fully extinguished and six days later it sprang back to life,” according to Blair and Oliveira. The fire then proceeded to torch close to 24,000 acres, kill 12 people, and decimate “over 7,000 homes and businesses with damages worth about $150 billion.” Other online activity, according to Blair and Oliveira, involved “creating disturbing AI-generated images showing cities burning with masses of people fleeing the destruction, according to prosecutors.” Blair and Oliveira further reported that Rinderknecht “allegedly filmed the blaze he first set, reported it to authorities, and then returned to the site to watch firefighters battle it, according to prosecutors.” One would think his social media posts profiling his extremist behavior as a baseline for a possible motive would be of interest to the American people, let alone to the Californians who suffered enormously because of his alleged actions.  The leftist media will clearly continue to shield the fanatics within their ideological ranks -- and the greater the human damage, the more they run away from it. 

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman has alleged that online gaming platform Roblox has not protected children from abhorrent content.Coleman filed a lawsuit on Monday, claiming that Roblox has allowed minors to be exposed to "animated bloody" content surrounding the assassination of Charlie Kirk.'We constantly monitor all communication for critical harms.'The lawsuit, posted by Fox News Digital, accuses the massive online gaming community of operating under insufficient guardrails in terms of denying children access to certain materials. This includes violence, sexually explicit materials, and alleged "Charlie Kirk 'assassination simulator[s].'"Blaze News previously reported that as of Q2 2024, Roblox had a claimed 79 million active daily users, an increase of almost 15 million from the same time in 2023. This included approximately 58% of its user base being under 16 years old, which equates to at least 46 million children.The alleged assassination simulators "began popping up on Roblox, allowing children as young as 5 years old to access animated bloody depictions of the September 10 shooting," the lawsuit stated.Roblox could easily "require users to verify their age and their parents' consent by virtually any mechanism, including merely asking for these data," the legal document continued. "Doing so would create at least some restriction on the content available to users under 18 years old."RELATED: 'Ginger ISIS member' has terror plot thwarted by Roblox user: 'I cannot agree with the term terrorist' - YouTube "As such, child predators can — and do — establish accounts to pose as children," Kentucky wrote.In response to the lawsuit, a Roblox spokesperson told Blaze News that the company welcomes the opportunity for a direct conversation with the Attorney General about the topic. However, the company also said that some of the parties involved are seeking financial gain."The attorney general's lawsuit is based on outdated and out-of-context information," Roblox said. "We believe together we can increase safety not just on Roblox, but on all platforms used by kids and teens. The AG's office is partnering with plaintiff's attorneys, who we believe have misrepresented matters to seek financial gain."The spokesperson added, "Roblox has taken an industry-leading stance on age-based communication and will require facial age estimation for all Roblox users who access our communications features by the end of this year. Roblox does not allow image sharing via chat, and most chat on Roblox is subject to filters designed to block the sharing of personal information. We constantly monitor all communication for critical harms and swiftly remove violative content when detected and work closely with law enforcement."Roblox pointed to more information about its efforts to implement age verification, which undoubtedly would confirm a user's age, but also could deter platform usage altogether.This includes verification through selfie-videos, the aforementioned "facial age estimation," ID, or verified parental consent.RELATED: Kids 'cosplaying as ICE agents' and performing raids on 'illegals' in Roblox game — (@) The sheer volume of Roblox users makes any enforcement incredibly difficult to pull off without pre-existing barriers to entry, monitoring, or filtration systems. This brings up further issues surrounding digital ID, including, for example, the exposure of children's likenesses.At the same time, gamers are constantly finding new ways to develop ridiculous scenarios on the platform, such as performing ICE raids or in-game protests. There also exists the threat of bad actors grouping together to discuss crimes or make terror plots.Roblox told Blaze News that it includes rigorous text chat filters to stop inappropriate contact with minors. Additionally, the company said that while it started as a "platform for children," 64% of the user base is now over 13 years old.Blaze News did find several videos on YouTube appearing to be re-creations of Kirk's assassination within the video game.Like Blaze News?

A debate between the gubernatorial candidates in Virginia turned into a humiliating defeat for Democrats after their nominee refused to withdraw her endorsement of scandal-ridden attorney general candidate Jay Jones.Democrats have been shoved into an untenable position after leaked texts showed Jones had wished violence on his political opponent as well as his children.'Would it take him pulling the trigger? Is that what would do it? And then you would say he needs to get out of the race, Abigail?'Republican gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears used the issue as a cudgel to hammer away at Democrat Abigail Spanberger during their debate Thursday at Norfolk State University. Spanberger vehemently denounced the comments but tried in vain to derail the conversation and instead attack Sears."Abigail, when are you going to take Jay Jones and say to him, 'You must leave the race'? He has said that he wants to murder his political opponent, and not only that, but his political opponent's children," Sears said.Spanberger tried to filibuster the question without answering, but it only prolonged her embarrassment."We are all running our individual races. I believe my opponent has said that about her lieutenant governor nominee, and it's up to every person to make their own decision. I am running my race to serve Virginia, and that is what I intend to do," Spanberger eventually said.Sears pressed on."I’m wondering why my opponent won’t say, beyond it’s abhorrent and disgusting, why she won’t say it is not OK and that he must leave the race because Jay Jones advocated the murder, Abigail, the murder of a man," Sears said. "Would it take him pulling the trigger? Is that what would do it? And then you would say he needs to get out of the race, Abigail? You have nothing to say?"Spanberger's comment appeared to mimic a statement from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi when she avoided the issue in a CNN interview Wednesday. "She has to do what she has to do. She's going to be governor. She's running very well," Pelosi said of Spanberger. "Her race is her race, and her state is her state, and it's up to her."Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin continued the criticism of Spanberger on social media. "Abigail Spanberger continues to stand behind her running mate who wanted to see a man and his children murdered," he wrote. "Abigail, you had your chance to show courage and moral clarity and you failed."RELATED: Democrat Jay Jones cancels fundraiser amid growing backlash over violent texts about GOP rival and his kids Headlines after the debate extended the embarrassment for Spanberger, and video from the debate has already been turned into a devastating campaign advertisement. Spanberger has had the financial and early polling advantage on Sears in the race, but the emergence of the text scandal in the wake of the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk may tip the scales.The texts have prompted many to call on Jones to abandon his campaign, but so far, he has not relented. "I've told you this before," read the Jones text. "Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy."Like Blaze News?

Americans were told that the infamous pipe bomb was planted on January 5 and found just moments before the first breach of the Capitol on January 6.However, that narrative is now crumbling.“You have access now to information that says that this narrative that came from law enforcement originally, this is not true,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says to John Solomon, editor in chief of Just the News.“Kash Patel has always had his doubts about what happened on January 6. And now that he’s got access to what are known as prohibited case files and other drives of evidence that Congress had never accessed before, we’re beginning to see that the narrative doesn’t hold up,” Solomon tells Wheeler.- YouTubeEnjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.While the FBI’s initial narrative claimed that the pipe bombs were planted by unidentifiable figures the night before, there’s no phone tracking in the time frame that matches the action of the person on video.“And so over the last six months or so, some people in Congress like Barry Loudermilk, the chairman of the subcommittee, looking at it, starting to wonder, ‘Was that a head fake? Was there something different to look at? Was this a training episode?’” Solomon explains.“You start opening up the possibilities of things that you didn’t think about in the original analysis when it was so clean and cut and the FBI gave us a nice cookie cutter of what they thought the storyline was,” he continues.Now, FBI Director Kash Patel has been coming out with new information, like the lab report.“The lab report shows that both of these bombs were not likely to have been active, meaning they would not have likely exploded with the triggers that were on them,” Solomon tells Wheeler. “And they use language like, ‘If they had been properly assembled, they would have exploded, but it doesn’t look like that.’”Expert Fred Whitehurst, Solomon recalls, explained that the report had “a lot of problems in it” and was “made to make it sound like these bombs were dangerous and terrible and those bad Donald Trump people probably planted them.”“There are two key things,” he tells Wheeler. “There doesn’t appear to be a lot of black powder in the bomb. That would be the propellant for the bomb exploding and putting out dangerous material and shrapnel towards people.”“And then two, if these were planted 16 hours in advance, the bomb maker had an only one hour timer on it. So if you planted them 16 hours earlier, that timer is gone in an hour. What happened?” he continues.However, that’s when the “real bombshell” came.“There was a witness who found the Republican National Committee bomb and that witness says there is no chance that bomb was planted 15, 16 hours before,” Solomon tells Wheeler.The witness noticed that there were 20 minutes left on the timer for the bomb before she alerted the police.“Now none of that fits the 15-hour narrative that the FBI had long bestowed upon the American public,” Solomon says. “And by the way, that narrative comes from the Capitol police from their video footage.”“So it starts with the Capitol police,” he adds.Want more from Liz Wheeler?To enjoy more of Liz’s based commentary, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
