Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance was forced on Tuesday to do the job of a journalist after the media appeared to cover for President Joe Biden. For two days, Democrats and the media seethed over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke about Puerto Rico, made at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend. Trump's detractors used it as evidence that Trump and his supporters are racist. 'The fact that these "journalists" are covering for a catastrophic error from Kamala's campaign is a scandal.' Enter President Joe Biden, who, speaking in his capacity as commander in chief, decided to one-up the comedian by declaring that all of Trump's supporters are "garbage." "And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something," Biden said on a call with Voto Latino. "In my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American." Despite the clarity with which Biden spoke, the White House, with an assist from the media, decided to pull a play straight from George Orwell's "1984." After the comment began circulating on social media, the White House released an edited transcript of Biden's remarks. The transcript included an apostrophe in the phrase "his supporters," making it "his supporter's," thus suggesting that Biden was speaking about the "garbage" of Hinchcliffe and not directly calling all of Trump's supporters "garbage." In lockstep, the media acted as stenographers for the White House. Politico, for example, directly printed the White House's version of Biden's remarks. Vance responded to Politico by doing what the news outlet failed to do: He posted the actual video of Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage" rather than regurgitating an edited White House transcript. That way, Americans see and hear for themselves what Biden said. "'The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.' That's a direct quote. That's what Kamala Harris's boss said. This is how Politico decided to report it[.] Do [Politico reporter Jonathan Lemire, Politico head of news Alexander Burns, and Politico] have an ounce of integrity? Will they correct this obvious falsehood?" Vance said. — (@) "Here's the actual video," Vance continued. "The fact that these 'journalists' are covering for a catastrophic error from Kamala's campaign is a scandal." "Will the networks that obsessively covered a joke from a comedian at a Trump rally cover the fact that the Kamala Harris campaign is insulting half of the country? Will they even report honestly on this disgusting behavior from our present leadership?" Vance asked. — (@) Later, Vance added, "A mother mourning her son who died of a fentanyl overdose is not garbage. A truck driver who can't afford rising diesel prices is not garbage. A father who wants to afford groceries is not garbage. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ought to be ashamed of themselves." Not only did Democrats and the media claim that Biden did not say what he said, but they blamed Biden's words on his history of stuttering. Democratic loyalists, moreover, downplayed the significance of Biden's remarks by claiming Biden is not a candidate for president. That defense, however, falls flat when the media and Democrats spent two days attacking Trump for a joke that a comedian — not Trump himself — made. Like Blaze News?

A former teacher at an all-boys Catholic high school engaged in an illicit sexual relationship with a student that included a tryst while on campus, according to a prosecutor in Ohio. On Tuesday, Hamilton County prosecutor Melissa Powers announced in a statement that 42-year-old Emily Nutley was indicted for six counts of sexual battery — a felony of the third degree. Nutley faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on all charges. She would also be ordered to register as a sex offender if convicted. 'Let me be very clear: this is child sexual abuse.'Nutley had been a teacher at St. Xavier High School — an all-boys Catholic school in Springfield Township. She also was a supervisor of a program that assists students who are struggling academically. Nutley allegedly met a 17-year-old male through the program and then began to have additional contact with the student "outside of school hours," according to the prosecutor.The teacher communicated with the alleged victim through text messages. Nutley sent the boy nude photos and sexually explicit text messages, the prosecutor said. The teacher allegedly began a sexual relationship with the underage student in mid-November 2023.The prosecutor noted, "Nutley is alleged to have performed oral sex on the male victim at least one time while on the campus of St. Xavier High School and one additional time while off campus."Nutley also is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse "after hours while in her office at the school" with the alleged victim.The alleged victim purportedly attempted to end the illicit relations, but Nutley reportedly continued to send text messages to the boy.St. Xavier High School administrators initiated an internal investigation into the alleged child sex crimes. Once evidence was collected, school administrators notified the Springfield Township Police Department of the alleged child sex abuse. WLWT-TV reported St. Xavier High School fired Nutley when the criminal investigation began.Hamilton County prosecutor Melissa Powers said of the alleged child sex crimes: “This is absolutely unacceptable and reprehensible conduct from an adult towards a minor child."Powers added: "This child was in need of help and guidance but instead found an adult looking to act out her perverted sexual desires. This child was the victim of an adult predator who should never again have a role that puts her in contact with children. She used this child for her own sexual gratification while taking advantage of the position she held."Powers stressed, "Let me be very clear: this is child sexual abuse."Powers vowed that her office would prosecute this case "fully and thoroughly to ensure that justice is served.”St. Xavier High School released a statement Monday that said, "We appreciate the unwavering commitment of our faculty, staff, and administration to the safety, well-being, and dignity of every student entrusted to our care. We believe this case to be an isolated incident."The school also stated, "At this time, we respectfully ask for continued prayers for the well-being of our students, their families, our entire staff, and for all individuals impacted by abuse. We remain committed to providing a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment for our entire St. Xavier community."The high school urged any students who had been sexually abused by a teacher to contact the Springfield Township Police Department.Nutley is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 8.WXIX-TV published a video report about the alleged teacher sex scandal.

Tucker Carlson, Ben Shapiro, and Mike Davis of the Article III Project revealed Monday that a New York Times reporter reached out to them for comment regarding an upcoming hit piece about so-called "misinformation" — the likely objective of which is to get conservative commentators demonetized or possibly removed from YouTube. Shapiro pre-emptively attacked the paper and its apparent collaborators at the leftist outfit Media Matters, while Carlson shared screenshots of his fiery textual exchange with Times reporter Nico Grant. "Would I like to participate in your attempt to censor me?" Carlson wrote to Grant. "No thanks. But I do hope you'll quote what I wrote above and also note that I told you to f*** off, which I am now doing. Thanks." Grant apparently opened with an introduction and the following note to Carlson on Monday: "I wanted to give you an opportunity to comment for an upcoming article that takes a look at how political commentators have discussed the upcoming election on YouTube. We rely on an analysis conducted by researchers at Media Matters for America." Media Matters for America is a leftist organization founded by Democratic operative David Brock. It claims to document "conservative misinformation throughout the media" and to notify "activists, journalists, pundits, and the general public about instances of misinformation, providing them with the resources to rebut false claims and to take direct action against offending media institutions." Media Matters, now led by Angelo Carusone — the former Democratic National Committee employee who fought to get Bill O'Reilly and Glenn Beck ousted from Fox News and was responsible for the "#DumpTrump" campaign in 2012 — now serves as an attack dog for the Democratic Party, characterizing dissenting views as "misinformation." 'So the New York Times is working with a left wing hate group to silence critics of the Democratic Party?' Media Matters is presently in hot water, as Elon Musk's social platform X sued the leftist organization last year for alleged defamation. Judge Reed O'Connor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas denied Media Matters' request to have that lawsuit dismissed in August. Grant asked Carlson to comment on the following points, which will apparently be including in the planned Times piece: "Media Matters identified 286 YouTube videos between May and August that contained election misinformation, including narratives that have been debunked or are not supported with credible evidence." "Researchers identified videos posted by you in those four months that contain election misinformation." "We feature a clip of you saying: '...All the sadness we've seen after the clearly stolen election. All these bad things happen, but people I know love each other more.'" Shapiro and Davis appear to have been asked to comment on the same points but on different quotes. 'These outlets are beneath contempt.' Grant gave away the plot with three follow-up questions, in all three cases, about the conservatives' membership in the YouTube Partner Program, their track records of demonetization, and history of notes from YouTube regarding "misinformation." Carlson, wise to Grant's apparent scheme, responded, "So the New York Times is working with a left wing hate group to silence critics of the Democratic Party? Please ask yourself why you're participating in it. This is why you got into journalism? It's shameful." "I hope you're filled with guilt and self-loathing for sending me a text like this," continued Carlson. "Please quote me." BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales said of Carlson's reply to Grant, "Epic." Elon Musk tweeted, "Perfect response." Mike Needham's forward-looking conservative think tank America 2100 tweeted, "These outlets are beneath contempt. 1) Powerful activist groups (Media Matters) put out enemy hit lists. 2) The press (New York Times) publishes the names to send a signal to Big Tech. 3) Big Tech dutifully censors the enemies. They're the enforcement arm of the Left." Conservative filmmaker Robby Starbuck wrote, "YouTube needs to be very careful how they respond to this story or risk a massive exodus from their site. Treating right wing content creators differently is going to become increasingly an offense that loses you a lot of business. People have alternatives now." Chris Pavlovski, the CEO of the video platform Rumble, noted, "The corporate media is on their campaign to deplatform as many conservative voices as possible. This type of activist garbage is not possible on Rumble. @TuckerCarlson, we have your back." Blaze News reached out to Grant and Media Matters for comment as well as for their definitions of "misinformation" but did not receive responses by deadline. Grant has set his X page to private, so that his past tweets are now protected. Shapiro referred to the anticipated Times-Media Matters hit piece as an "October surprise." "What, precisely, is NYT doing?" wrote Shapiro. "It's perfectly obvious: using research from Media Matters, a radical Left-wing organization whose sole purpose is destroying conservative media ... in order to pressure YouTube to demonetize and penalize any and all conservatives ONE WEEK FROM THE ELECTION." While noting that he supported the view that Biden won the 2020 election, Shapiro emphasized that the Constitution guarantees the right of Americans to suggest otherwise. "This is totally scandalous. In 2020, the legacy media shut down dissemination of the Hunter Biden laptop story and laundered the claim that it was all Russian disinformation, all to get Joe Biden elected," continued Shapiro. "In 2024, they're even more brazen: they're openly trying to intimidate YouTube, one of the most dominant news platforms in America, into shutting down anyone who isn't pro-Kamala." Shapiro worked his way up to echoing Carlson's sentiment, concluding, "The New York Times wants comment? Here's my comment: kindly, go f*** yourself." U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt responded by echoing the defiant, nearly assassinated Republican president, "Fight, fight, fight!" Like Blaze News?

Archaeologists working in Israel have discovered a 5,000-year-old settlement at Hurvat Husham, near Beit Shemesh, as a prelude to the expansion of Beit Shemesh’s western industrial area. What they found, instead, was a beautiful Early Bronze Age structure dating to the 4th millennium BC, that was likely a temple or ritual center. Within the settlement, a large hall, with nearly 40 intact ritual vessels, were all preserved in the exact positions where they were likely left thousands of years ago.

The vessels, small and well-preserved, clearly weren’t designated for everyday purposes, likely having specific symbolic or ceremonial roles.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, have distanced themselves and their campaign from comments that President Joe Biden made and walked back that appeared to refer to former President Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage."
