The wife of New York&#8217;s socialist mayor hopeful Zohran Mamdani is mourning one of the most prominent Palestinian influencers, who openly celebrated Hamas’s October 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel and has been the tip of the spear on Hamas propaganda efforts.
Saleh al-Jafarawi, popularly known as “Mr. FAFO,” was killed over the weekend in the fighting between Hamas and other Palestinian clans, as confirmed by Hamas&#8217;s Al-Aqsa TV.
Al-Jafarawi gained attention after posting a video following the October 7 attacks in which he praised Hamas’s rocket fire. Shortly after, he recorded another video crying in fear during Israeli airstrikes, earning him the nickname “Mr. FAFO.” Among other allegations, Al-Jafarawi was <a href="https://x.com/afalkhatib/status/1977428544901845384" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accused</a> of raising $10 million to build a children&#8217;s hospital but keeping the funds.
Mamdani&#8217;s wife, Rama Duwaji, posted a tribute to him on her Instagram with broken hearts and calling him &#8220;beloved.&#8221;

Mamdani, who ran in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ZohranKMamdani/posts/this-morning-i-ran-the-nyc-gaza-5k-in-prospect-park-for-the-third-time-to-raise-/1202155905056559/">Gaza 5k</a> yesterday and has endorsed anti-Israel rhetoric for years, released a statement on the second anniversary of the Hamas October 7 massacre by briefly saying Hamas had “carried out a horrific war crime,” but then escalated his rhetoric by continuing at length about Israel’s supposed genocide, writing:
<blockquote>
In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered.
</blockquote>
Then he attacked the Trump administration, saying savagely, “Our government has been complicit through it all.”

In June, Mamdani was pressed three times to condemn the phrase &#8220;globalize the intifada&#8221; during an appearance on NBC’s &#8220;Meet the Press,&#8221; and each time he refused to do so. Mamdani backpedaled in July, telling a group of executives that he would &#8220;discourage&#8221; the use of the phrase, but still refused to condemn it outright, saying, “I don’t believe that the role of the mayor is to police speech.”

“The escalation between Hamas and the Doghmush clan reportedly began when members of the clan ambushed several Hamas operatives near the Jordanian Hospital in Gaza City this past Friday, shortly after a ceasefire went into effect,” the Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-870266">reported.</a> “Reports also emerged of summary executions carried out by Hamas against members of the Doghmush clan in Sabra, including claims that children from the clan were also targeted by gunfire.”

Mayoral Candidate For New York Zohran Mamdani Holds Primary Election Night Party

Mamdani’s Wife Mourns Hamas Operative ‘Mr. FAFO,’ Killed By Fellow Palestinians

Zohran Mamdani

Democratic socialist and current NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani is under fire after an explosive report revealed his campaign accepted nearly $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign contributions — including $500 from his own mother-in-law living in Dubai.
According to a New York City Campaign Finance Board review and reporting by the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/10/12/us-news/mamdanis-mayoral-campaign-took-in-13000-in-illegal-foreign-campaign-cash-records-show/">New York Post</a>, at least 170 donations came from individuals with foreign addresses — a direct violation of federal, state, and local laws that prohibit non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent residents from contributing to political campaigns. The donations, which include contributions from professionals in Canada, Germany, Australia, and the UAE, raise serious concerns about the legality — and integrity — of Mamdani’s campaign operation.
While Mamdani’s campaign claimed it would return any donations not in compliance with campaign finance law, records show 88 of those donations — totaling $7,190 — still haven’t been returned. A spokesperson declined to explain why.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;_gl=1*sxxrkd*_gcl_au*MTcyMjkzNDgyNi4xNzUzNzAyOTg2LjE0NTM3NjMxNTUuMTc1NTYwMTM0MS4xNzU1NjAxMzQx*_ga*MTM1OTk4Njg2NS4xNzA2NzE2NTAy*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*czE3NjAzNzAzNzEkbzQ2OCRnMSR0MTc2MDM3MTM3NCRqNjAkbDAkaDA." target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a> 
Among the foreign donors:
<ul>
<li data-start="1201" data-end="1266">James Furlaud, an environmental scientist in Australia – $2,100</li>
<li data-start="1269" data-end="1318">Ada Diaz Ahmed, a Dubai-based investor – $2,100</li>
<li data-start="1321" data-end="1386">Jun-Dai Bates Kobashigawa, a Canadian software developer – $250</li>
<li data-start="1389" data-end="1436">Ugur Macit, a German software engineer – $250</li>
<li data-start="1439" data-end="1480">Ahmed Enbya, a Calgary physician – $100</li>
</ul>
GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa <a href="https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/illegal-foreign-campaign/2025/10/12/id/1230020/">blasted</a> Mamdani, saying, “Where there&#8217;s smoke, there’s fire. There is probably a lot more in terms of foreign money,” and raised alarms over possible dark money and foreign influence quietly flowing into Mamdani’s $4 million campaign, which has also received a staggering $12.7 million in public matching funds.
This isn&#8217;t the only cloud hanging over Mamdani’s candidacy. Former governor and independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo previously accused Mamdani of exploiting NYC’s housing system by living in rent-stabilized housing meant for low-income residents — despite his wealth. Cuomo proposed “Zohran’s Law” to stop the affluent from stealing affordable units.
“You are a rich person stealing affordable housing from the poor,” Cuomo <a href="https://x.com/andrewcuomo/status/1954614957003440611">wrote</a>. “Let’s build a new NYC that works for the people who need it.”
With less than a month until Election Day, Mamdani — a self-described “Democratic Socialist” — finds himself at the center of a growing storm of campaign finance violations, ethics questions, and elitist hypocrisy.
The NYC Campaign Finance Board says it is auditing all campaigns — but declined further comment.

On the second anniversary of the Hamas October 7, 2023, massacre of more than 1,200 people in Israel, a Greek member of the European Parliament offered a rousing defense of Israel, declaring, “If Israel falls, the gates of hell will open for all of us.”
Afroditi Latinopoulou, founder and leader of the Voice of Reason party, made her comments before the European Union.
“Today marks the anniversary of Hamas’ horrific crime, in which they murdered, kidnapped and abused thousands of Israeli citizens. And who opened the borders and brought Islamists into our home? The leftists. Who is targeting Israel? The leftists,” she stated.
“Coincidence? I don’t think so,” she continued. “Today, the leftist propaganda is targeting Israel, which is fighting for its survival against Hamas’ terrorists. And media worldwide misinform and teach brainless people to hate Jews while Europeans are being murdered by fanatical Islamists. It is our sacred duty to help cleanse Gaza of Hamas. Israel is the only democratic Western state in the Middle East.”

“If Israel falls, the gates of hell will open for all of us,” she declared. “If they want peace, let Hamas release the hostages and accept Trump’s plan. Otherwise, let them disappear. There is no Palestinian state.”

She <a href="https://x.com/AdamMoczar/status/1948120228090769650">added</a>, “Illegal immigration is a well-orchestrated business for the orchestrators to make a fortune and to Islamize Europe. You have filled our countries with illegal migrants with the blessing of Germany and France. We pay Islam, which hates us, out of our savings, to turn our cities into ghettos, to rape and to murder before our eyes in the name of Allah.”
Last May, she <a href="https://www.hungarianconservative.com/articles/culture_society/afroditi-latinopoulou-we-need-more-orbans-fewer-macrons/">stated</a> at CPAC Hungary 2025 in Budapest, “Hungary is fortunate to have a visionary leader, Viktor Orbán, who is guiding the nation on the path of virtue and freedom. A leader who did not hesitate to confront the EU elite to protect his country. That is why today you see a Hungary that is clean, without ghettos, without [the] woke agenda. You see a Hungary being Hungarian. Hungary chose sovereignty, and did so with courage. It’s sent a powerful message: The definition of who we are is ours to give. And in Europe, we need more Orbáns and fewer Macrons.”

Italy’s boldest conservative leader since the Cold War, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, is doubling down on her defense of Italian identity and Western values with a sweeping new proposal targeting what she calls “Islamic separatism.” Unveiled on Wednesday by her Brothers of Italy party, the bill would ban burqas and niqabs in all public spaces and impose tough new measures against radical Islamist influence inside the country.
The legislation goes far beyond the face-covering bans already in place in parts of Europe. Under the proposed law, wearing a full-face veil like a burqa or niqab in public—whether in schools, shops, offices, or on the street—could result in fines of up to €3,000 ($3,500). But the law doesn’t stop there.
The bill includes criminal penalties for so-called “cultural crimes,” like virginity testing and forced marriages, especially when driven by religious coercion. Punishment for such offenses could reach up to 10 years in prison — a clear signal from Meloni’s government that Italy won’t tolerate practices seen as violating women’s rights or Western values.
Galeazzo Bignami, parliamentary leader of Brothers of Italy, <a href="https://www.the-sun.com/news/15321318/italy-ban-burka-virginity-testing-giorgia-meloni/">said</a> the idea was to protect the country from “all forms of extremism and any attempt to create parallel societies on Italian soil.”

“No foreign funding should ever undermine our sovereignty or our civilization,” declared Brothers of Italy lawmaker Andrea Delmastro. The bill drives that point home by targeting mosque financing and requiring full transparency from all religious groups not formally recognized by the Italian state — a category that includes every Muslim organization in the country.
Any organization receiving money from foreign entities deemed a &#8220;threat to state security&#8221; would be barred from operating. It’s a direct strike against foreign-funded Islamist influence, which Meloni’s government believes fosters radicalism and attempts to establish “parallel societies” within Italy.
As Brothers of Italy parliamentary leader Galeazzo Bignami put it, the law aims to defend the Republic from extremism and from those who seek to live under sharia law rather than the Italian constitution. Party immigration chief Sara Kelany reinforced the message, declaring Italy will not tolerate &#8220;enclaves&#8221; where Western legal norms are subordinated to religious law.
Predictably, the usual chorus of critics — Muslim groups, NGOs, and global media — have labeled the move “divisive.” But the Meloni coalition holds a commanding majority in parliament, meaning the bill is likely to pass despite the backlash.
While leftist voices are <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/italy-pm-meloni-says-been-denounced-icc-complicity-genocide-2025-10-07/">attempting</a> to accuse Meloni of “complicity in genocide” at the International Criminal Court — due to her government’s past support for Israel — she remains undeterred. “I’m amazed,” she said, noting that Italy had not authorized new arms shipments since October 7, 2023.
In a time when weak Western leaders fold under pressure, Meloni stands firm and reminds the world that Italy will not be conquered from within.

In a grim reminder of a justice system gone adrift, Ronald Exantus — the man who killed 6-year-old Kentuckian Logan Tipton in the dead of night — has been <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15179267/ronald-exantus-killer-arrested-logan-tipton.html">rearrested</a>, this time in Florida, after a controversial early parole release that sparked public outrage.
Exantus, now 42, was convicted in 2018 of multiple assaults after he broke into the Tipton family’s home in Versailles, Kentucky, in 2015. Though he wasn’t convicted of murder — thanks to a jury’s “not guilty by reason of insanity” verdict — the facts were clear: he crept into the family&#8217;s home and repeatedly stabbed a sleeping child in the head with such force that the butcher knife bent.
And yet, after serving just seven years of a 20-year sentence, Exantus <a href="https://www.wkyt.com/2025/10/09/ronald-exantus-arrested-florida-officials-working-send-him-back-kentucky-ag-says/">walked free</a> on October 1 under Kentucky’s Mandatory Reentry Supervision law, bolstered by education and “good behavior” credits. The parole board had recommended he remain locked up. The Department of Corrections overruled the board.
Exantus’ brief taste of freedom ended with handcuffs in Florida. Marion County deputies arrested him for violating his parole and failing to register as a convicted felon, a requirement under Florida law within 48 hours of relocating. He was found living across from an elementary school — the same kind of innocent environment he once shattered.
Sheriff Billy Woods didn’t mince words: “The fact that he was living right next to an elementary school is even more repulsive&#8230; I have no tolerance for this type of dangerous person flaunting our laws and thinking he would hide out in our county.”

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier echoed the outrage, saying officials are already working to send Exantus back to Kentucky. “This dangerous individual who murdered a child by repeatedly stabbing him in the head was in Florida. We are not tolerating that,” he stated.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The release ignited a public firestorm. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking for President Donald Trump’s administration,<a href="https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/crime/2025/10/05/white-house-looking-into-ronald-exantus-logan-tipton-kentucky-boy-killing/86535555007/"> stated</a> bluntly: “It’s wholly unacceptable for a child killer to walk free after just several years in prison.”
The facts of the case are not in dispute. On the night of the killing, Exantus — a dialysis nurse from Indianapolis — drove to Kentucky for no discernible reason. He entered the Tipton home through an unlocked door and attacked the family in their sleep. Logan was killed. His father and two sisters were stabbed. The court acknowledged that Exantus was mentally disturbed. That didn’t make the blood any less real.
Logan’s father, Dean Tipton, gave voice to the anguish, declaring, “I’ve told the court — if I ever cross paths with him, I will kill the man.”
His mother, Heather Tipton, said the justice system offered no protection, not even a courtesy call when Exantus was released, offering, “It just feels like a 6-year-old’s life is worth more than ten years in prison.”

On Wednesday, President Donald Trump directed his Cabinet to pursue <a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/trump-looks-to-label-antifa-as-a-foreign-terrorist-organization/">designating</a> Antifa a foreign terrorist organization, escalating his administration’s crackdown on the decentralized group.
At a White House event featuring journalists who claimed to be victims of Antifa violence, Trump stated, “If you agree, I agree. Let’s get it done.” Top officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, stood alongside him. Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller stated, “There are extensive foreign ties, and I think that would be a very valid step.”
</div>
<div>
This move follows Trump’s earlier <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/09/designating-antifa-as-a-domestic-terrorist-organization/">executive order</a> on September 22, 2025, which declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. While that designation holds little legal weight due to limitations in U.S. law, foreign terrorist organization (FTO) status would trigger powerful federal tools — financial sanctions, travel restrictions, asset freezes, and criminal penalties.
The <a href="https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations">legal implications</a> are severe:
</div>
<div>
It is unlawful for a person in the United States or subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to knowingly provide “material support or resources” to a designated FTO. (The term “material support or resources” is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2339A(b)(1) as ” any property, tangible or intangible, or service, including currency or monetary instruments or financial securities, financial services, lodging, training, expert advice or assistance, safehouses, false documentation or identification, communications equipment, facilities, weapons, lethal substances, explosives, personnel (1 or more individuals who maybe or include oneself), and transportation, except medicine or religious materials.
</div>
<div>
The shift toward FTO designation marks a historic escalation. During the 2020 riots, then-Attorney General William Barr identified Antifa as a key instigator of violence. He warned that bad actors could exploit unrest for anarchic agendas and emphasized the Justice Department’s commitment to restoring order.

Trump’s domestic terror designation of Antifa painted the group as a radical anarchist network that uses organized violence, doxing, and intimidation to suppress political speech and undermine government authority. With the proposed foreign terrorist designation, the administration moves from symbolic action to a more forceful legal approach aimed at dismantling the anarchist network and punishing its supporters.

Whether the State Department proceeds with the FTO label remains uncertain, but the administration’s position is clear: violent extremism, even under the guise of activism, will be treated as a national security threat.

Senate Republicans—joined by one high-profile Democrat—on Wednesday <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-war-powers-trump-venezuela-boat-strikes/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">blocked</a> a War Powers resolution that sought to stop President Donald Trump from continuing airstrikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean. The measure failed in a 51–48 vote, with Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman breaking ranks to vote against it, while Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska sided with Democrats.
The resolution, spearheaded by Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Tim Kaine of Virginia, would have required congressional authorization before the U.S. military could engage in hostilities with any non-state drug-trafficking organizations, including those that the Trump administration has labeled “foreign terrorist organizations.” The White House has already conducted four strikes on vessels near Venezuela since early September, and has declared the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with cartels.

“The Administration strongly opposes passage of S.J. Res. 83, a joint resolution that would direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities against any foreign terrorist organization or specially designated global terrorist designated on or after February 20, 2025, engaged in the promotion, trafficking, or distribution of illegal drugs, and other related activities,” the Trump administration <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense/3834945/trump-cartels-us-armed-conflict-memo-congress/">stated</a> on Tuesday.
At the beginning of October, the White House <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense/3834945/trump-cartels-us-armed-conflict-memo-congress/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sent a memo</a> to Congress stating that the drug cartels were terrorist organizations and unlawful combatants. “The United States has now reached a critical point where we must use force in self-defense and defense of others against the ongoing attacks by these designated terrorist organizations,” it declared.
“As we have said many times, the President acted in line with the law of armed conflict to protect our country from those trying to bring deadly poison to our shores, and he is delivering on his promise to take on the cartels and eliminate these national security threats from murdering more Americans,” White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly commented.
GOP Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho <a href="https://www.notus.org/foreign-policy/trump-caribbean-boat-strikes-republicans-senate-democrats-vote?utm_source=chatgpt.com">said</a> the strikes were “fully compliant and fully justified.” Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) called the cartels “narco-terrorists” and praised Trump for “trying to get drugs out of this country.”
Sen. Paul argued, “Is it too much to ask to know the names of those we kill before we kill them? To know what evidence exists of their guilt?” He added: “Death is generally not the penalty for drug smuggling.”
Fetterman’s vote gave the administration the edge it needed. He has demonstrated a willingness to break with Democrats before, especially regarding the Israel-Hamas war.

After President Donald Trump announced that Israel and the terrorist group Hamas had agreed on the first phase of his peace deal, the Israel Defense Forces issued a statement welcoming the development but warning troops to remain on alert and “ready for any scenario.”
“The IDF welcomes the signing of the agreement for the return of the hostages, which was signed overnight,” the IDF stated on X. “During a situational assessment held overnight, the Chief of the General Staff instructed all forces, both on the front lines and in the rear areas, to prepare strong defenses and be ready for any scenario. Force deployments will be carried out in accordance with the directives of the political echelon and the stages of the agreement, with responsibility and a focus on the safety of our soldiers. At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff instructed to prepare to lead the operation for the hostages’ return, which is expected to be conducted with sensitivity and professionalism. The IDF will continue to act to achieve the objectives of the war and to defend the citizens of the State of Israel on all fronts.”

A <a href="https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bkmtqextex">report</a> released earlier this week by Israel’s Defense Ministry—timed to the second anniversary of the Hamas-led massacre of more than 1,200 Israelis—revealed that 1,152 Israeli security personnel have been killed since the attack. Of those, more than 40% (487 soldiers) were under the age of 21, and 30% (337 soldiers) were between 22 and 30. The report also noted that 66 women have been killed.
Forty babies have been born to widows who were pregnant when their partners were killed.
“The State of Israel carries a heavy burden. The history of our country is written in the blood of our sons and daughters,” Arie Moalem, head of the ministry’s Families and Commemoration Division, stated. “Each family is a world unto itself, and that is how we treat them. &#8230; In our hearts, we carry a prayer for the return of the hostages, healing for the wounded and the safe return of the IDF soldiers and security forces fighting for our future.”

‘Be Ready For Any Scenario’: Israel Defense Forces Welcome Peace Deal But Stay On Alert

Israel Defense Forces (IDF)

Peace Deal

United States District Judge Karin J. Immergut on Sunday expanded her ruling from the day before, blocking the Trump administration from deploying hundreds of California National Guard troops to Oregon.
Immergut called “an emergency hearing Sunday, then broadened her restraining order to cover ‘the relocation, federalization or deployment of members of the National Guard of any state or the District of Columbia in the state of Oregon,’” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/us/trump-national-guard-california-oregon-newsom.html">reported</a>. Meanwhile, the Trump administration still plans to send Texas National Guard troops to Chicago to restore order amid a series of anti-ICE <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-arrests-two-after-attack-on-border-patrol-in-chicago?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=FBI+Arrests+Two+After+Attack+On+Border+Patrol+In+Chicago">attacks</a>.
On Saturday, Immergut <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ord.189270/gov.uscourts.ord.189270.56.0_1.pdf">granted</a> the State of Oregon and the City of Portland’s motion for a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump from federalizing the National Guard and sending them to Portland.
On Sunday, Immergut stated that “the relocation, federalization or deployment of members of the National Guard of any state,” implied that she wants to forbid Trump from sending out-of-state National Guard troops to Oregon to protect federal agents or property.
One social media user <a href="https://x.com/NapoleonBonabot/status/1975061867220611370">commented</a>, “I want you to realize how crazy this is. She is saying the Federal government has no jurisdiction to protect Federal property. The last time someone tried to argue this was Fort Sumter,” referring to the beginning of the Civil War, when the Confederacy argued that the U.S. federal government had no right to maintain or protect Fort Sumter because South Carolina had lawfully seceded from the Union, and therefore, Fort Sumter (located in Charleston Harbor) now belonged to South Carolina, and by extension, the Confederacy.

Additionally, there is precedent for the National Guard from one state being deployed to a jurisdiction outside its state. For instance, during the civil rights era riots in 1968, National Guard units from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland were <a href="https://www.nga.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/1968NGAAnnualMeeting.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com">sent</a> to Washington, D.C.
On September 27, 2025, President Trump posted a message on his Truth Social account stating that he was directing Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of War, to provide troops to protect “War ravaged Portland” from “Antifa, and other domestic terrorists” and authorizing “Full Force, if necessary.” On September 28, Hegseth issued a memorandum authorizing the deployment and federalization of 200 of Oregon National Guard service members, over the objection of Oregon’s Democratic governor, Tina Kotek.
Immergut noted in her decision that three reasons could be adduced to support a president “activating” the National Guard to serve on a mission, adding that the reason in Trump’s case could be derived from Title 10 of the United States Code, where the Guard is considered federal military and under the command of the U.S. President.
“Members of the National Guard generally do not receive training to perform local law enforcement tasks, such as learning de-escalation techniques, the use of non-lethal force, or how to properly conduct criminal investigations,” Immergut opined.
After delineating numerous instances of agitation, including protestors lighting fires to barricade a vehicle gate at an ICE facility, rocks and M80 fireworks hurled at Federal Protective Services officers, an assault of a federal officer with a machete and knife, the shining of high-powered flashlights in the eyes of drivers leaving the ICE facility, as well as ICE employees being “doxed” and having their personal information posted online, Immergut defended the plaintiffs instead, writing they “have adequately shown irreparable harm and that the balance of equities and public interest weigh in their favor” from the National Guard being federalized.
“Here, this Court concludes that the President did not have a ‘colorable basis’ to invoke § 12406(3) to federalize the National Guard because the situation on the ground belied an inability of federal law enforcement officers to execute federal law. The President’s determination was simply untethered to the facts,” she wrote.
“Defendants also argue that the September 28, 2025 federalization order is authorized under subsection two, which permits federalization of the National Guard in response to ‘a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States,’” Immergut stated. “First, a rebellion must not only be violent but also be armed. Second, a rebellion must be organized. Third, a rebellion must be open and avowed. Fourth, a rebellion must be against the government as a whole — often with an aim of overthrowing the government — rather than in opposition to a single law or issue.”
“The President also stated that ‘protests or acts of violence [that] directly inhibit execution of the laws constitute a form of rebellion. These conceptions of rebellion improperly conflate the statutory preconditions,” she contended. She also argued that sending in the National Guard would inflame the situation, asserting, “state and local law enforcement will need to expend additional resources to quell increased civil unrest that is likely to result from the Guard’s mobilization.”
“The issues at stake in this case are important, and the consequences of this Court’s decision are far-reaching. As soon as the federalized National Guard deploys to Portland, the state of Oregon will suffer an injury to its sovereignty,” Immergut argued.
“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law. Defendants have made a range of arguments that, if accepted, risk blurring the line between civil and military federal power — to the detriment of this nation,” she concluded.

In a blistering rebuke of what he called a “blatant lie,” Richard Tice, Deputy Leader of the U.K.’s Reform Party, has issued firsthand testimony challenging claims that Gaza is currently facing famine. Having just returned from the Israeli-Gaza border, Tice accused both the United Nations and the British government of ignoring facts on the ground while fueling what he described as antisemitic sentiment disguised as humanitarian concern.
</div>
<div>
In a piece titled, “<a href="https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/on-the-gaza-front-line-i-find-the-famine-is-a-blatant-lie/">On the Gaza front line, I find the famine is a blatant lie</a>,” Tice, who has stepped up as one of the few British political voices willing to challenge the dominant Gaza famine narrative, spoke of his visit to the Kerem Shalom crossing — a dangerous checkpoint through which humanitarian aid flows into Gaza. What he saw there contradicts the headlines: “I found myself at an Israeli border crossing into Gaza. I stood among hundreds of pallets of fresh avocados, onions and bananas, along with more flour, sugar and tins than I had ever seen.”
</div>
<div>
This wasn’t some isolated warehouse. It was the frontline of a war zone, and yet, he reported, aid is moving.
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a>
</div>
<div>
More damningly, Tice questioned why organizations like the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) have been so slow in distributing this aid, despite having the largest footprint in Gaza. According to Tice, these organizations are either failing outright or deliberately stonewalling. Some even refuse to cooperate with Israeli vetting procedures — refusals that, as Tice points out, delay the aid and empower Hamas to seize supplies for the black market, driving up prices and manufacturing artificial scarcity. In short, it’s not famine — it’s manipulation. “Why are we still funding the UN and other organisations that fail and lie?” he asked rhetorically.
</div>
<div>
Backing Tice’s claims is an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-the-uns-famine-authority-engaged-in-data-fraud-to-undermine-u-s-humanitarian-aid?utm_source=chatgpt.com">explosive forensic</a> report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), a nonpartisan body that analyzed the data behind the UN’s August declaration of famine. The NCRI’s conclusion? The UN&#8217;s claim that famine was “currently occurring” in Gaza City was based on statistically manipulated models, cherry-picked data, and outright suppression of contradictory evidence. For example, the IPC — the UN’s famine classification arm — based its famine alarm on six data points modeled exponentially, even when a linear model fit just as well. Worse, an updated dataset of more than 15,000 children showing malnutrition at 13.5% — below the 15% famine threshold — was available before publication but ignored. In short, famine hadn’t been reached, and the UN knew it.
</div>
<div>
Even worse, the UN famine authority buried contradictory hunger surveys, selectively labeled regions to exaggerate suffering, and excluded Rafah — one of the most stable areas receiving U.S.-backed aid from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — claiming it had been “depopulated,” despite including it in previous reports. The result? A distorted picture aimed at discrediting American-led humanitarian efforts in favor of the UN’s aging, politically compromised machinery.
</div>
<div>
Tice called it what it is: fraud. He warned that the real victims here are not just the misled Western public or taxpayers, but the Israeli civilians who continue to suffer from terrorist attacks and the honest Palestinians being manipulated by a terror-controlled regime and corrupt aid networks. He concluded that if the UN and its affiliates are willing to bury their own data to preserve a narrative, they must be held accountable.

Comedian Dave Chappelle is getting ripped for telling an audience in Saudi Arabia, where mocking the royal family, Islam, or the government can land you in prison, “It’s easier to talk here than in America.”
“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” Chappelle, a practicing Muslim,  <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/world/middleeast/saudi-comedy-festival-riyadh-free-speech.html">declared</a> at the Riyadh Comedy Festival before a crowd of 6,000 people. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.”
Chappelle has been viciously critical of Israel, <a href="applewebdata://A52DFCE2-01FF-40DE-85E7-E5F7A517E32C/v">saying</a> in May 2024 in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, “If you are in America, the best thing you can do is to make American Jews feel safe, feel loved and supported so they can know they don’t have to support a country that is committing genocide just to feel safe.” He continued his anti-Israel rhetoric in Riyadh, saying he feared returning to America, because, “They’re going to do something to me so that I can’t say what I want to say,” then adding he would alert his fans by using a code phrase: “It’s got to be something I would never say in practice, so if I actually say it, you’ll know never to listen to anything else I say after that. Here’s the phrase: I stand with Israel.”
Critics didn’t hold back. Author Dumisani Washington slammed Chappelle for his apparent hypocrisy: “A Black, multimillionaire comedian goes to Saudi Arabia, where there are African slaves, and complains about his lack of civil rights in America. Only a Westerner could be so privileged yet so deluded.”
<a class="c-link c-link--focus-visible" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a> 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Comedian Tim Young was equally scathing: “If Chappelle believes there’s freer speech in Saudi Arabia than in the U.S., he should do an entire set mocking Muhammad there and see how it goes.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Others, like commentator Jesús Enrique Rosas, pointed to the life-or-death stakes of dissent in the Kingdom: “Does Chappelle know you can get literally EXECUTED in Saudi Arabia for saying the ‘wrong things’? That oil money must have been SWEET.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
And conservative journalist Carmine Sabia nailed the heart of the matter: “I find it interesting that Chappelle, who was paid a fortune to perform in Saudi Arabia… would say there is more free speech there than in the U.S. — a nation that actually gave him a list of things he was not allowed to joke about.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Even Bill Maher, not exactly a bastion of right-wing thinking, ridiculed Chappelle on HBO’s “Real Time,” saying,
“It’s not true. Do your hunk on Muhammad, Dave.”
This isn’t Chappelle “punching up.” This is Chappelle indulging in moral relativism at its worst — throwing stones at a country that made him rich, while cozying up to a regime that jails dissidents and executes critics.
