'Do you want Democrats to take back the Senate?'

Blind Faith was a supergroup that defined both the brilliance and fragility of late 1960s rock collaboration. Formed in London in 1969, the band brought together four extraordinary musicians whose collective talent would create one of the most talked-about albums of the era. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker had just finished their tenure with Cream, while Steve Winwood came from Traffic and Ric Grech from Family. Each member arrived with a history of innovation and success, and together they sought to channel their experience into something fresh and spiritually driven. The name “Blind Faith” itself reflected their leap into the The post Complete List Of Blind Faith Songs From A to Z appeared first on ClassicRockHistory.com.

DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—The wife of socialist New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani appeared to mourn the death of a Palestinian influencer who celebrated Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel. Saleh al-Jafarawi, a popular social media influencer and activist who gained notoriety after posting a video celebrating the Oct. 7 massacre, was allegedly shot and killed in Gaza during a deadly clash between Hamas and Palestinian militias, according to reports. In response, the Muslim mayoral candidate’s wife, Rama Duwaji, shared an image of Jafarawi on her Instagram story, accompanied by four broken-heart emojis. She also shared a separate post referring to the “beloved Jafarawi.” Jafarawi has been dubbed “Mr. FAFO” in Israeli media for celebrating the Oct. 7 attack in which Hamas terrorists killed 1,200 civilians and took 251 hostages, only to later post a video of himself sobbing after Israel launched its counterstrike on Gaza, according to the New York Post. Jafarawi has also been accused of pocketing millions of dollars he had raised as donations for Gaza residents, The Times of Israel reported. The influencer has been falsely reported dead on multiple occasions. “For the last two years, I have followed Hamas content creator Saleh Al-Jafrawi (‘Mr FAFO’) with a mix of horror and admiration. I was engrossed. Mr FAFO had phenomenal energy, charisma, and creativity. Always popping up in a different costume, once a patient, then a radiologist, a jihadist, then a foreign correspondent, a ham actor, but always with panache and chutzpah, constantly finding inventive ways to grab new audiences and tell his story,” former Israeli spokesperson Eylon Levy wrote on X on Sunday in response to the news of Jafarawi’s alleged death. Mamdani’s campaign did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. The Democratic Socialist has previously drawn criticism for failing to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which is widely seen as a call to violence against Jews. He marked the second anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack by accusing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of launching “a genocidal war,” while offering only a brief condemnation of the “horrific war crime” carried out by Hamas Mamdani currently leads the mayoral race with 46% support among likely voters, followed by disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo at 33% and Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa at 15%, according to an Oct. 9 Quinnipiac survey. Mamdani also faces scrutiny over his campaign’s alleged acceptance of $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign donations, the New York Post reported Sunday. At least 170 of the campaign’s 54,000 contributions allegedly came from donors with addresses outside the U.S., despite only U.S. citizens or legal residents being permitted to donate to political campaigns and political action committees.

Letitia James' 'Tenant' in Mortgage Fraud Home Is a Niece Who Is a Fugitive From North Carolina

Twelve years ago this week, the federal government shut down over a fight that should have mattered more than any budget squabble in modern history: Obamacare.In 2013, House and Senate conservatives — led by Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) — refused to fund Barack Obama’s budget unless the pending health care law was stripped of its most ruinous provisions. They warned it would crush Americans with skyrocketing premiums and limited choice.Instead of begging Democrats for a short-term continuing resolution, Republicans should force the debate they’ve been avoiding.They were right. And today, watching those predictions come true, the defeat still stings. Democrats always stay united on health care. Republicans, even now, act as if the issue doesn’t exist.The lost fightIn that 2013 showdown, Republicans held the stronger hand. They controlled the House and could have passed a full funding bill minus Obamacare. The law was still unpopular, the website was collapsing, and millions were losing coverage.Democrats had already lost more than 60 House seats and a generation of state-level power because of their support for the 2009 law. The “dependency” phase hadn’t yet taken hold, but the costs were already exploding — premiums jumped 47% in the first year alone.Yet GOP leaders sabotaged their own side. After Cruz’s 21-hour Senate filibuster demanding a defund vote, the Republican establishment turned its fire inward.John McCain scolded Cruz from the Senate floor for comparing the fight to World War II and calling it a “great disservice” to veterans. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) dismissed the strategy as “not a smart play.” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) warned against risking a shutdown “doomed to fail.”Instead of hammering Democrats for creating unaffordable health care, the GOP obsessed over process. The pressure worked. On October 17, Republicans surrendered unconditionally — and Obamacare became untouchable.At the time, I wrote:If we are resigned to letting go of the Obamacare fight in the budget, there is no way it will ever be repealed, even partially repealed. By 2017 ... there will be over 30 million people either willingly or unwillingly dependent on Obamacare. Even if it’s barely workable, it will be the only care they have. We cannot repeal it. That prediction also came true.Failure by surrenderTwelve years later, after winning full control of government, Republicans still couldn’t repeal the law. Now, even with a new GOP trifecta, they’re struggling to stop Joe Biden’s insolvent expansion of it.On paper, Democrats should have the weaker hand today. They control no chamber of Congress and are threatening a shutdown to preserve health care subsidies no one voted for.Yet they’ve managed to frame the fight around the “cost of health care” — a problem created entirely by Obamacare itself. Republicans’ silence only amplifies the lie.Democrats are betting that voters no longer remember why premiums exploded or why subsidies now cover nearly every enrollee. They’re counting on a GOP that can’t articulate the obvious: Obamacare made health care unaffordable and fueled the broader inflation strangling families.Even the Washington Post recently admitted in an editorial that “the real problem is that the Affordable Care Act was never actually affordable.”A second chanceRepublicans now have the opportunity they squandered a decade ago. With control of the White House and Congress, they can finally make the case for repeal and for genuine, market-based reform.They can remind Americans that we’re paying Cadillac prices for catastrophic coverage — massive deductibles, 33% denial rates, and bloated UnitedHealth plans protected by federal subsidy. They can expose the system for what it is: a monopoly masquerading as compassion.RELATED: Smash the health care cartel, free the market Photo by JDawnInk via Getty ImagesInstead of begging Democrats for a short-term continuing resolution, Republicans should force the debate they’ve been avoiding. Health care can’t be fixed by tinkering at the edges. It must be freed from Washington’s grip.Twelve years ago, Republicans claimed they lacked the leverage to stop Obamacare. Today, Democrats have no leverage at all — and they’re the ones complaining about the costs of their own creation.God doesn’t hand out many second chances, especially in politics. Republicans just got one. They’d better use it.

As the government officially enters the second week of the shutdown, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer of Minnesota has a clear message to Democrats. In a video obtained exclusively by Blaze News, Emmer ripped into Senate Democrats for putting partisan politics over the American people. Ever since Democrats refused to pass the Republicans' clean, nonpartisan funding bill before the September 30 deadline, Congress has been in a stalemate. 'All these Democrats are putting their political issue ahead of the American people.'"The Democrats in the U.S. Senate have now voted 'no' on reopening the government seven times," Emmer says in the video obtained by Blaze News. "... You've got over 400,000 Minnesotans who rely on SNAP to support themselves. Our air traffic controllers aren't going to get paid. Our Customs and Border Patrol [sic] isn't going to get paid."Notably, President Donald Trump's administration has made attempts to minimize pain for those affected by the shutdown, such as making sure our military service members don't miss their paychecks on October 15. RELATED: Democrats feign outrage as Trump administration shutdown layoffs hit: 'They seem to be enjoying it' In the video, Emmer is seen standing in the United States Capitol near the Senate chamber, where over a half-dozen votes to reopen the government have been blocked by Democrats. Emmer also points out the harsh contrast between the two spending bills proposed by the respective parties. "I'm standing in the rotunda. Behind me is where the Senate should be right now, voting to reopen the government," Emmer says in the video. "Instead, seven times now they have voted no."The Republican-led spending bill is a bipartisan bill that continues funding the government at current spending levels through November 21. There are no ideological line items or anomalies in the GOP bill, whereas the Democrat bill is full of them. Emmer calls out Democrat Sen. Tina Smith, who shares his Minnesota constituency, for voting against every effort to keep the government open. "You want to put illegals back on taxpayer-funded health care benefits while at the same time gutting our rural hospital fund of $50 billion that we created just this summer," Emmer says of Smith.RELATED: 'PAY OUR TROOPS': Trump unveils creative solution to minimize military's shutdown pain Daniel Heuer/Bloomberg via Getty Images"All these Democrats are putting their political issue ahead of the American people," Emmer continues in the video. "This is insane, and it's wrong.""Our message is clear. Democrats: Reopen the government. Let's get back to work. Put the people before your politics. Stop hurting Americans. Let's get back to work and finish the job that we were all sent here to do."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
