Trump Warns U.S. Military ‘May Very Well’ Go into Nigeria ‘Guns-a-Blazing’ over Killing of Christians:

In a post on Truth Social, Trump instructed the Department of War to “prepare for possible action,” adding that if the U.S. does attack, “it will be fast, vicious, and sweet.” Trump also threatened to “stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria” if the Nigerian government continues to allow the killing of Christians.

“If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, ‘guns-a-blazing,’ to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,” Trump said in his post.

Trump continued: “I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians! WARNING: THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT BETTER MOVE FAST!”

Trump’s warning comes after he previously said that Christians were “facing an existential threat in Nigeria,” and pointed out that “thousands of Christians are being killed” by radical Islamists.

“I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN’ — But that is the least of it. When Christians, or any such group, is slaughtered like it happening in Nigeria (3,100 versus 4,476 Worldwide), something must be done!”

In response to Trump’s comments about the “mass slaughter” of Christians in Nigeria, Nigerian Minister of Foreign Affairs Yusuf Maitama Tuggar denied that there was a genocide occurring in the country.

Breitbart News’s Frances Martel reported that eleven years ago, in April 2014, Boko Haram terrorists “abducted nearly 300 schoolgirls from the Christian community of Chibok in northern Borno State.” More than “90 of the girls remain missing.”

"It’s time to hold those responsible accountable,” Cruz added. “My Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act would target these officials with powerful sanction and other tools.”

@patrician Stop grandstanding and give the order.  Surely our military knows how to do their job and figure out the details quickly.  How many more people are going to be slaughtered while you're running your mouth off.  You like to do a lot of speaking, softly or otherwise, but where's your big stick?

Trump doesn't want to get us into another war.  He would rather just have their government stop the killing of Christians.

@patrician He doesn't mind piling in with Ukraine.  He had said he would stop.

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Demands LAFD Investigate Itself over Palisades Fire:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass demanded an investigation of the Palisades Fire on Friday, after text messages revealed that city firefighters abandoned the burn scar of a January 1 fire with smoldering roots that later re-ignited.

As Breitbart News reported, based on investigative reporting by the Los Angeles Times, the local Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) battalion chief in charge of monitoring the January 1 fire, known as the Lachman Fire, told firefighters to roll up their hoses after they had searched for hotspots on January 2. But there were smoldering roots, which authorities now believe reignited in high winds on January 7 as the Palisades Fire.

Bass, who was on a junket to Africa with the outgoing Biden administration on January 7, despite being warned for days about the impending extreme wind event, demanded an investigation from the LAFD.

Bass did not call for an independent investigation. She did not seem to consider that the LAFD might not be willing or able to do a credible investigation of its own alleged negligence or poor judgment about the fire.

Bass fired LAFD Chief Kristen Crowley earlier this year. Crowley chose not to pre-deploy firefighters in the area of the Lachman Fire ahead of the January 7 event. But she was also hamstrung by budget cuts that the mayor had demanded from the City Council, which limited the LAFD’s ability to pay firefighters overtime.

L.A. spends more on homeless services than on firefighting — and homeless people start one-third of fires.

Presler: Voting Machines Down in Three Red Districts of New Jersey as Election Day Heats Up:

Just before 8:00 a.m., Presler reported via X that three red districts in Cumberland County saw their machines go down.

Other conservatives on the social media platform highlighted the news and urged people not to skip out on voting.

“Election machines have gone down in multiple locations across CUMBERLAND COUNTY, NJ – where Republicans are outperforming their 2024 turnout by double digits, Scott Presler says. Isn’t that suspicious. STILL VOTE! DO NOT let it deter you!” Eric Daugherty of Florida’s Voice News said:

Turning Point USA Spokesman Andrew Kolvet echoed Daugherty’s statement, writing, “Scott Presler is reporting that voting machines are down in 3 conservative districts in Cumberland Country, NJ. Shenanigans abound but do not be deterred!! Will update as we hear more… Vote Vote Vote.”

In another post, Presler said it appeared some of the areas that were having issues had resolved the problem and people were able to vote.

Presler later shared a video of Downe Township Mayor Michael Rothman talking about the machines that had issues, saying some voters had been turned away and not given a provisional ballot. Rothman said he was appalled that they were not allowed to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

“We are, right now, in the middle of everything that is wrong with this system,” he stated:

The news comes as New Jersey Republican gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli and Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ), the Democrat gubernatorial candidate, were virtually tied in the race, according to a recent poll, per Breitbart News.

RIP NYC – Muslim Communist Zohran Mamdani Wins New York City Mayoral Race:

...it now appears that Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate will win the mayoral race in New York City.

This race changes New York City in ways that people have not even considered yet.

The Bernie/AOC wing of the Democrat party will be enabled by this and will become much bolder and outspoken. They will spin this as a mandate and more Democrats will become even more radicalized.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin Reveals Schumer Held Secret BACKROOM MEETING — Orders Democrat Senators to Keep Government SHUT Until After Elections:

Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of orchestrating a secret “backroom deal” with fellow Democrats to deliberately keep the government shut down until after Tuesday’s elections.

During an interview, Mullin disclosed that Schumer privately instructed Senate Democrats to “wait it out” rather than negotiate with Republicans to reopen the government.

Mullin blasted the strategy as a cynical move to protect Democrat turnout in key states.

Wow.  Can you believe there are people I know of, Dave Hodges of the Common Sense Show, and a friend from another forum, who don't want the rapture to happen.  They want to stay here, carry on, and fix the country with politics.

Election 2025 recap: Mamdani, Sherrill, Spanberger win as Democrats sweep top races:

The 2025 election results are in, with Democrats securing key victories in several high-profile races across the country — from New York to Virginia and New Jersey, offering a potential boost of momentum heading into the 2026 midterms, Northeastern University political scientists say. 

Other analysts caution, however, that while the victories — including Zohran Mamdani’s grassroots win in New York — signal energy within the party, the results may reflect local dynamics more than a clear national trend.

In perhaps the most-watched race, Mamdani clinched the mayoral race over former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. In New York, voter turnout for the mayoral race was the largest in decades.

California Approves Prop 50, Potentially Adding 5 Democrat House Seats:

California overwhelmingly approved Prop 50 on Tuesday, which will potentially add five Democrat seats to the U.S. House in opposition to Republicans in Texas.

Republicans hold 219 seats in the U.S. House, while Democrats hold 213; those five seats in the 2026 midterm could make a huge difference in the balance of power. California Gov. Gavin Newsom strongly backed Prop 50, pledging it would be a bulwark against President Trump.

“California’s Proposition 50 asked voters to suspend House maps drawn by an independent commission and replace them with rejiggered districts adopted by the Democratic-controlled Legislature. Those new districts would be in place for the 2026, 2028 and 2030 elections,” noted the AP.
