Democrat President Joe Biden&#8217;s border crisis reached a new level on Friday as data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) showed that the Border Patrol has made approximately 1.66 million arrests of illegal aliens entering the U.S. from Mexico for Fiscal Year 2021.
&#8220;Border crossings surpassed 1.6 million annually at least twice recently, in 1986 and in 2000,&#8221; The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/border-patrol-makes-about-1-66-million-arrests-at-southern-border-in-2021-fiscal-year-11634932866">reported</a>. &#8220;In 2019, when crossings reached a peak under the Trump administration, the Border Patrol made about 850,000 arrests.&#8221;
The Journal added that the 1.66 million arrests in Fiscal Year 2021, which started in October 2020, was &#8220;the highest annual number ever recorded.&#8221;
CBP said that it recorded 192,001 encounters along the southern border for the month of September, a slight decrease from the previous month.
Chad Wolf, former acting DHS secretary and Heritage visiting fellow, <a href="https://www.heritage.org/press/joe-biden-has-chosen-open-the-border-chad-wolf-mark-morgan-and-lora-ries-respond-new-border">slammed</a> Biden in a statement over the latest numbers, calling his policies a failure.
&#8220;Instead of upholding the rule of law, the administration has chosen to open the border by eliminating effective, humane border security policies that were working, replace those policies with no alternative, and then process the subsequent historic flows of illegal aliens into the United States as quickly as possible,&#8221; Wolf said. &#8220;And make no mistake, contrary to the Biden administration’s spin, the vast majority of those apprehended at the southern border are being released into our communities, as CBP’s own publicly available numbers show. The men and women of CBP deserve so much better than this. They deserve leaders who will help them do their jobs, enforce the rule of law, and give them the tools they need. The Biden administration has done the opposite at every turn, and we’re all paying the price for it.&#8221;
Mark Morgan, former acting CBP commissioner and Heritage visiting fellow, warned Americans to not be &#8220;fooled&#8221; by the Biden administration’s attempts to &#8220;spin these still sky-high numbers as some sort of win.&#8221;
&#8220;These 192,000 apprehensions are still more than 40,000 higher than the highest monthly total during the 2019 crisis, a crisis that then-President Trump quickly and successfully moved to solve,&#8221; Morgan said. &#8220;The Biden administration knowingly created a crisis because it sees a political benefit in mass illegal immigration, and thus it has no interest in slowing the historic surge to our border.&#8221;
&#8220;More importantly, however, official apprehensions dropped slightly while the number of got-aways—those who evade apprehension and enter the country after escaping law enforcement—increased from August,&#8221; Morgan added. &#8220;The numbers remain at unsustainable highs, and now more illegal aliens are crossing the border without even being apprehended, as more and more Border Patrol agents are pulled off the line to process migrants through overcrowded CBP facilities and release them into the United States. This cannot continue.&#8221;
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) <a href="https://republicanleader.house.gov/chaos-at-the-border/">said</a> in a statement that since Biden took office, &#8220;there have been over 1.4 million border apprehensions, more than the entire population of Dallas, Texas.&#8221;
“Despite the flashing red warning signs, President Biden and his appointed border czar, Vice President Harris, continue to think they can wish the situation away and pretend that they are powerless in the very crisis they created,&#8221; McCarthy said. &#8220;It is embarrassing that it has gotten to the point where a foreign diplomat went on record to say that for months she ‘sounded the alarm’ about the thousands of migrants that were headed to our border and the Biden administration failed to take any action to get ahead of the surge.&#8221;

MEXICO-US-HAITI-MIGRATION

Biden’s Border Crisis Reaches Historic Levels After New Numbers Released For September

Border Crisis

Illegal Immigration

Joe Biden

Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed during a speech on Thursday the far-left woke ideology that he said is causing societal ills throughout the Western world, saying that it is no different than what happened in Russia during the 1917 revolution.
Putin made the remarks during a plenary session of the 18th annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi where the topic was &#8220;Global Shake-up in the 21st Century.&#8221; Putin&#8217;s remarks were translated by an interpreter and that video was uploaded to the Russian government&#8217;s website.
&#8220;We see with bemusement the paralysis unfolding in countries that have grown accustomed to viewing themselves as the flagships of progress,&#8221; Putin said during an event where he spoke for a few hours. &#8220;Of course, it&#8217;s none of our business or what is happening, the social and cultural shocks that are happening in some countries in the Western countries, some believe that aggressive blotting out of whole pages of your own history, the affirmative action in the interest of minorities, and the requirement to renounce the traditional interpretation of such basic values as mother, father, family, and the distinction between sexes are a milestone &#8230; a renewal of society.&#8221;
Putin said that Western nations had a right to do whatever they wanted to do but that &#8220;the overwhelming majority of Russian society&#8221; rejected these new ways of thinking.
&#8220;The preparedness of the so called social progress believe that the bringing a new conscience, a new consciousness to humanity, something that is more correct,&#8221; Putin said. &#8220;But there is one thing I would like to say: The recipes they come up with are nothing new. Paradoxical as it may seem, but this is something we saw in Russia. It happened in our country before after the 1917 revolution, the Bolsheviks followed the dogmas of Marx and Engels. And they also declared that they would go into change the traditional lifestyle, the political, the economic lifestyle, as well as the very notion of morality, the basic principles for a healthy society. They were trying to destroy age and century long values, revisiting the relationship between the people, they were encouraging informing on one&#8217;s own beloved, and families. It was hailed as the march of progress. And it was very popular across the world and it was supported by many, as we see, it is happening right now.&#8221;
&#8220;Incidentally, the Bolsheviks were absolutely intolerant of other opinions, different from their own,&#8221; Putin continued. &#8220;I think this should remind you of something that is happening. And we see what is happening in the Western countries, it is with puzzlement that we see the practices Russia used to have and that we left behind in distant path, the fight for equality and against discrimination turns into an aggressive dogmatism on the brink of absurdity, when great authors of the past such as Shakespeare are no longer taught in schools and universities because they announced as backward classics that did not understand the importance of gender or race.&#8221;
&#8220;In Hollywood there are leaflets reminding what you should do in the cinema, in the films, how many personalities and actors you&#8217;ve got, what kind of color, what sex, and sometimes it&#8217;s even even tighter and stricter than what the Department of Propaganda of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee did,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And the fight against racism, which is a lofty goal, turns into a new culture, cancel culture, and into reverse discrimination, racism on the obverse. And it brings people apart, whereas the true fighters for civic rights, they were trying to eliminate those differences. I asked my colleagues to find this quote from Martin Luther King, and he said, &#8216;I have a dream, that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.&#8217; That is a true value.&#8221;
&#8220;You know, the Bolsheviks were speaking about nationalizing not just the property, but also women,&#8221; Putin continued. &#8220;The proponents of new approaches go so far as they want to eliminate the whole notions of men and women, and those who dare say that men and women exist and this is a biological fact, they are all but banished. Parent number one, parent number two, or the parent that has given birth, or instead of breast milk, you say human milk. And you say all of that, so the people who are not sure of their sexual agenda are not unhappy.&#8221;
&#8220;And I would like to say that this is not something new, and the 20s and the 1920s, the Soviet couture Tagore came up with the so called &#8216;Newspeak&#8217;, and they thought that thereby they were building a new consciousness and coming up with new values, and they went so far that we feel the consequences up until now,&#8221; he concluded on the matter. &#8220;There are some monstrous things when from a very young age, you teach to children that the boy can easily become a girl and you impose on them this selection, this choice. You push the parents aside and make the child take this decisions that can destroy their lives. And if we call the spade a spade, this is nigh to crime against humanity and all of that under the banner of progress, while some people just want to do that.&#8221;

Russian President Putin Meets Valdai Discussion Club During Annual Meeting

Putin Warns Wokeness Is Destroying The West: It Happened In Russia, It’s Evil, It Destroys Values

Vladimir Putin

Wokeness

The leader of the Haitian gang that kidnapped 16 American missionaries has threatened to kill the hostages if his ransom demands, $1 million per hostage, are not paid.
“I prefer that thunder burns me, if I don’t get what I need. You see those Americans, I will prefer to kill them and I will unload a big weapon to each of their heads,” the leader of the gang known as 400 Mawozo, Wilson Joseph, said in the video, according to The New York Times. “I mean what I said, that’s it.”
The Times said that their sourcing for Joseph&#8217;s remarks included two people who were present when the threat was made and recorded on video. A total of 17 people were kidnapped, including one Canadian.
The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/haiti-gang-that-kidnapped-u-s-missionaries-threatens-to-kill-them-11634841503">reported</a>:
<blockquote>The missionaries were abducted last Saturday in an eastern suburb of the capital when armed members of the gang forcibly stopped a minibus carrying the men, women and children. The group, which includes an 8-month-old baby, was returning from a visit to a nearby orphanage.</blockquote>
A reporter asked Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during Thursday&#8217;s White House press briefing about the situation, specifically about how seriously the Biden administration was taking the situation and what it was doing to respond to it.
Jean-Pierre responded first by highlighting a statement from Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who said this week:
<blockquote>First, with regard to the specific incident that you referred to, the kidnapping of missionaries, including 16 Americans, we have in the administration been relentlessly focused on this, including sending a team to Haiti from the State Department; working very closely with the FBI, which is the lead in these kinds of matters; in constant communication with the Haitian National Police, the church that the missionaries belong to, as well as to the Haitian Government.  And we will do everything that we can to help resolve the situation.</blockquote>
Jean-Pierre also highlighted a purported statement from Haiti&#8217;s security:
<blockquote>We have been working closely with the Haitian National Police to try to build their capacity, as well as help put in place programs that can effectively deal with the gangs. But it’s a very challenging and long-term process. We’re focused on it, but is it absolutely essential that this security dynamic change if Haiti is going to make real progress.</blockquote>
Jean-Pierre said that for privacy and security reasons, she could not disclose more at this time.

Haitian Gang Threatens To Kill American Christian Missionaries If Ransom Not Paid

Haiti

CNN attacked famed podcast host Joe Rogan in a statement on Thursday after Rogan called out the network recently for falsely claiming that he consumed horse dewormer.
The Washington Post noted the following examples of when CNN falsely claimed or suggested that Rogan consumed horse dewormer:
<ul>
<li>CNN host Erin Burnett on 09/01: “Controversial podcast host Joe Rogan, who’s railed against vaccine requirements, says he has COVID and took a drug intended for livestock.”</li>
<li>CNN host Anderson Cooper on 09/01: “One of those drugs he mentioned, ivermectin, is something more often used to deworm horses.”</li>
<li>CNN reporter Brian Stelter on 09/01: “When you have a horse deworming medication that’s discouraged by the government that actually causes some people in this crazy environment we’re in to actually want to try it. That’s the upside down where we’re in with figures like Joe Rogan.”</li>
<li>CNN host Don Lemon on 09/01: “The United States is now averaging 160,455 new COVID-19 cases every day, including controversial podcast host Joe Rogan saying that he tested positive for COVID and that he says he is taking several medications including a drug meant for deworming livestock.”</li>
<li>CNN commentator Bakari Sellers on 09/03: “I think the unfortunate part about all of this is you have individuals like Joe Rogan, for example, who don’t want to take an experimental vaccine but will take horse dewormer.”</li>
<li>CNN anchor Jim Acosta on 09/04: “In case you missed it, Rogan said ivermectin. Yes, that’s the deworming medicine made to kill parasites in farm animals and, weirdly, is being promoted by right-wing media figures and even some politicians as a COVID treatment.”</li>
</ul>
Rogan slammed the network during an interview late last week with CNN medical expert Sanjay Gupta, saying, &#8220;They’re lying at your network about people taking human drugs vs drugs for veterinary–”
“Calling it a horse dewormer is not a flattering thing,” Gupta responded. “I get that.”
“It’s a lie. It’s a lie on a news network,” Rogan responded. “And it’s a lie, that’s a willing, that’s a lie that they’re conscious of; this is not a mistake.”
“Yeah,” Gupta acknowledged.
CNN was pressed by <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/10/21/joe-rogan-cnn-ivermectin-statement-gupta/?utm_source=dlvr.it&amp;utm_medium=twitter">The Washington Post</a> about the false statements that it made about Rogan, to which the network responded:
<blockquote>The heart of this debate has been purposely confused and ultimately lost. It’s never been about livestock versus human dosage of Ivermectin. The issue is that a powerful voice in the media, who by example and through his platform, sowed doubt in the proven and approved science of vaccines while promoting the use of an unproven treatment for covid-19 — a drug developed to ward off parasites in farm animals. The only thing CNN did wrong here was bruise the ego of a popular podcaster who pushed dangerous conspiracy theories and risked the lives of millions of people in doing so.</blockquote>
Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple said that CNN&#8217;s statement sounded &#8220;more like the work of an advocacy group than a journalism outfit.&#8221;
&#8220;The &#8216;issue,&#8217; actually, begins and ends with the integrity of CNN’s content,&#8221; Wemple added. &#8220;If we take Rogan’s prescription claim at face value — and CNN hasn’t challenged it — then the network’s coverage was slanted in some cases and straight-up incorrect in others.&#8221;

UFC 220: Makhachev v Tibau

CNN Mocks Joe Rogan After False Claims About Him: ‘Only Thing’ We ‘Did Wrong’ Is ‘Bruise’ His ‘Ego’

Zabihullah Mohmand, 19, was charged with a felony for allegedly raping a woman in Montana after he was placed in the state by the Biden administration, according to U.S. officials.
The victim, 18, is identified as &#8220;Jane Doe&#8221; in court documents and says that she met Mohmand and two other men at a bar and they agreed to leave to go to a house party. After leaving the bar, she learned there was no house party, but she agreed to go back to his hotel, although she stated that she did not want anything to happen.
The Missoulian <a class="x5l" href="https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/10/21/afghan-u-s-biden-accused-raping-teenage-girl-montana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener external">reports</a>:
<blockquote>While telling police her story, she then began crying. She and Mohmand did have sex, she said, adding “(she) just couldn’t get him off me.” Mohmand wouldn’t let her leave, she told law enforcement. She also mentioned that another man was in the room during the assault. When she eventually left the room to get an Uber, Mohmand allegedly followed her out and tried to stop her from leaving.
In cellphone correspondence with her friend, the woman reported being raped. Her neck had significant bruising and red marks, charging documents said. She told officers Mohmand had held her down on the bed by placing his hand around her neck with force.</blockquote>
Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT), and Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) all issued statements about the alleged rape.
Daines said that the accused individual &#8220;was admitted to the United States and placed in Montana under Humanitarian Parole, which is separate from the Special Immigrant Visa (SN) program.&#8221; Rosendale said that the accused individual &#8220;did not go through the 14-step, 18-24 month vetting process required to obtain a visa and was instead paroled into to the country by President Biden&#8217;s Department of Homeland Security without proper screening.&#8221;
Gianforte called on Biden to stop sending Afghan refugees to his state until federal law enforcement can be fully vetted in accordance with federal law, saying that he had &#8220;serious concerns about whether the Biden administration is meeting its obligations to fully vet Afghans prior to resettlement.&#8221;
Daines said in a statement:
<blockquote>The fallout and consequences from President Biden&#8217;s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan continue. While I support assisting our fully-vetted Afghan allies who served alongside our armed forces, President Biden has failed to provide answers as to who has come into the country or if they have been fully vetted according to what&#8217;s required by law. I&#8217;ve spoken to Governor Gianforte about this situation, and I stand with him in calling on President Biden to stop all Afghan resettlements to Montana until we get answers.</blockquote>
Rosendale&#8217;s statement went further than the other two statements in the actions that it demanded out of the Biden administration. The statement also claimed that the suspect&#8217;s lawyer argued in court that cultural and language barriers may have played a role in the rape.
Rosendale&#8217;s statement said:
<blockquote>For months I have warned of the consequences of admitting and resettling unvetted Afghan nationals throughout our country. These unvetted Afghans do not share our culture and our values, and as this horrific incident shows, they represent a serious risk to our communities. We cannot allow this administration to continue to jeopardize the safety of our communities and the security of our nation in the name of empathy. I urge the Biden Administration to immediately halt the resettlement of Afghan nationals across our nation and begin to remove Afghan evacuees that have been resettled from the United States.</blockquote>
The suspect claims that he was on a world-wide trip and was visiting Missoula.

Afghan Placed In Montana By Biden Admin Charged With Raping Teen, Victim’s Neck Had ‘Significant Bruising’: Reports

Afghanistan

Sexual Assault

Democrat President Joe Biden&#8217;s plan to reshape America with his $3.5 trillion social spending bill hit another obstacle on Thursday as one top Democrat Senator said that it would not happen anytime soon.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) made the remarks in relation to a push from Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) to reach a deal on the framework of the bill by the end of this week.
“This is not going to happen anytime soon, guys,” Manchin <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/577834-manchin-negotiators-to-miss-friday-target-for-deal-on-reconciliation">told</a> reporters. “There’s a lot of work to do, everybody’s working hard, everybody’s communicating, working hard. A lot of meetings going on.”
Manchin said that while he thinks his party is &#8220;making good progress,&#8221; he believes that talks will extend well beyond Friday.
“There’s a lot of details. Until you see the text and the fine print, it’s pretty hard to make final decisions, until you actually see,” he said, adding that &#8220;the text&#8221; needs to match &#8220;the intent.&#8221;
Manchin has recently been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-manchins-visible-reaction-to-schumers-attacks-on-gop-goes-viral-slams-attacks-as-not-appropriate">visibly frustrated</a> with Schumer&#8217;s attacks on Republicans while Democrats try to ram through their massive spending bill.
Manchin has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-manchin-tells-colleagues-hell-leave-dems-if-they-stonewall-reducing-social-spending-bill-manchin-denies">reportedly</a> been so upset with his party that he has privately told people that he is considering leaving the party, although Manchin has denied the rumors.
Mother Jones <a href="https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2021/10/senator-joe-manchin-democratic-party-exit-plan-biden-infrastructure-deal-exclusive/">reported</a>:
<blockquote>In recent days, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has told associates that he is considering leaving the Democratic Party if President Joe Biden and Democrats on Capitol Hill do not agree to his demand to cut the size of the social infrastructure bill from $3.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion, according to people who have heard Manchin discuss this. Manchin has said that if this were to happen, he would declare himself an “American Independent.” And he has devised a detailed exit strategy for his departure. &#8230;
He told associates that he has a two-step plan for exiting the party. First, he would send a letter to Sen. Chuck Schumer, the top Senate Democrat, removing himself from the Democratic leadership of the Senate. (He is vice chair of the Senate Democrats’ policy and communications committee.) Manchin hopes that would send a signal. He would then wait and see if that move had any impact on the negotiations. After about a week, he said, he would change his voter registration from Democrat to independent.</blockquote>
Manchin “told the White House the child tax credit must include a firm work requirement and family income cap in the $60,000 range,” Axios reported at the start of the week, adding that the move “would dramatically weaken one of President Biden’s signature programs.”
Manchin, along with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), “held a call with House centrist lawmakers last Wednesday in which the senators detailed some of their specific concerns about Biden’s $3.5 trillion social spending plan,” the report added.
Biden was reportedly dealt another severe blow from Manchin in recent days over another major component of the $3.5 trillion bill.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/15/climate/biden-clean-energy-manchin.html">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Manchin, the Democrat from coal-rich West Virginia whose vote is crucial to passage of the bill, has told the White House that he strongly opposes the clean electricity program, according to three of those people. As a result, White House staffers are now rewriting the legislation without that climate provision, and are trying to cobble together a mix of other policies that could also cut emissions. …
The $150 billion clean electricity program was the muscle behind Mr. Biden’s ambitious climate agenda. It would reward utilities that switched from burning fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, and penalize those that do not.</blockquote>
Recent <a href="https://apnews.com/article/climate-joe-biden-business-congress-environment-df8f42615e01d13faf2d913b4662d295">reports</a> have indicated that the full $3.5 trillion package may no longer be on the table, but neither the House, Senate, nor the White House has filed any official changes to the bill or officially announced a compromise measure.

President Biden Attends Ceremony For 10th Anniversary Of MLK Jr. Memorial

Biden’s Plan To Reshape America With $3.5 Trillion Social Spending Bill Runs Into Another Obstacle

Joe Manchin

Former President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday night a new social media company that he plans to officially launch in Spring 2022 called &#8220;TRUTH Social.&#8221;
&#8220;I created TRUTH Social and TMTG to stand up to the tyranny of Big Tech,&#8221; Trump said in a statement. &#8220;We live in a world where the Taliban has a huge presence on Twitter, yet your favorite American President has been silenced. This is unacceptable. I am excited to send out my first TRUTH on TRUTH Social very soon.&#8221;
&#8220;TMTG was founded with a mission to give a voice to all,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I&#8217;m excited to soon begin sharing my thoughts on TRUTH Social and to fight back against Big Tech. Everyone asks me why doesn&#8217;t someone stand up to Big Tech? Well, we will be soon!&#8221;
The statement from Trump Media &amp; Technology Group added:
<blockquote>Trump Media &amp; Technology Group and Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: DWAC) have entered into a definitive merger agreement, providing for a business combination that will result in Trump Media &amp; Technology Group becoming a publicly listed company, subject to regulatory and stockholder approval. The transaction values Trump Media &amp; Technology Group at an initial enterprise value of $875 Million, with a potential additional earnout of $825 Million in additional shares (at the valuation they are granted) for a cumulative valuation of up to $1. 7 Billion depending on the performance of the stock price post-business combination. Trump Media &amp; Technology Group&#8217;s growth plans initially will be funded by DWAC&#8217;s cash in trust of $293 Million (assuming no redemptions).
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group&#8217;s mission is to create a rival to the liberal media consortium and fight back against the &#8220;Big Tech&#8221; companies of Silicon Valley, which have used their unilateral power to silence opposing voices in America.</blockquote>
The statement said that a beta launch would take place for invited guests in November 2021, and that a nationwide launch is expected in the first quarter of 2022.

The man who allegedly violently raped a woman on a train in the Philadelphia-area, as onlookers watched and did nothing, is an illegal alien who reportedly has a criminal history and was supposed to be deported years ago.
Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/congolese-man-accused-rape-train-visa-terminated-deported">reported</a>:
<blockquote>Tucker Carlson Tonight has confirmed that Fiston Ngoy, who was arrested last week for allegedly raping the woman in a brutal attack on a SEPTA train in front of other passengers, came to the U.S. legally in 2012 on a student visa. However, the 35-year-old Congolese national&#8217;s visa was terminated in 2015 because he failed to remain a student.
Meanwhile, court records show that he racked up &#8220;multiple arrests and two misdemeanor convictions, one for controlled substances and one for sexual abuse.&#8221; Ngoy pled guilty in 2017 in Washington D.C. to the sexual abuse misdemeanor and was sentenced to 120 days in prison and nine months probation.</blockquote>
Ngoy was reportedly never deported because &#8220;he received a &#8216;withholding of removal&#8217; from an immigration judge in March 2019 after the Board of Immigration Appeals found that his misdemeanor sex offense was not a &#8216;serious crime&#8217; that would have made him ineligible for such a stay.&#8221;
The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-woman-was-allegedly-assaulted-on-a-train-as-bystanders-looked-on-they-could-face-criminal-charges-too-police-say">reported</a> on Tuesday:
<blockquote>Police arrested 35-year-old Fiston Ngoy, who is homeless, Wednesday night on charges including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated indecent assault without consent after he allegedly attacked a woman on board a train near Philadelphia. Throughout the attack, multiple witnesses failed to intervene or call 911 as Ngoy allegedly tore off the woman’s clothes and assaulted her.
Police said Monday that the man harassed the woman for about 40 minutes while nobody on the train intervened. He eventually began ripping off her clothes, sexually assaulting, and raping her as she attempted to push him away, police said according to WPVI. Ngoy told police in a statement that he knew the woman, but could not remember her name. He also claimed that the encounter was consensual.</blockquote>
Reports have suggested that those who watched the rape happen and did not intervene could face criminal charges, although prosecuting such a case would be tricky.
“I’m appalled by those who did nothing to help this woman,” Timothy Bernhardt, the superintendent of the Upper Darby Township Police Department, said. “Anybody that was on that train has to look in the mirror and ask why they didn’t intervene or why they didn’t do something.”
Bernhardt said that there were enough people in the train car that “collectively, they could have gotten together and done something.”
“What this woman endured at the hands of this guy, what she’s been able to provide for us, it’s been unbelievable,” Bernhardt said.
Alexis Piquero, a criminologist at the University of Miami, said, “The onus is really on us as a collective because we can’t always rely on the police. We have to rely on one another.”
“We need a world where people are doing the right thing when you see someone assaulted,” Piquero added.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos backtracked over defending Dave Chappelle from the woke mob on Tuesday, claiming that he &#8220;screwed up.&#8221;
Sarandos made the remarks in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in response to Netflix&#8217;s &#8220;The Closer,&#8221; which has been widely praised by many online and in reviews with audience scores reaching <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reviews-are-in-for-dave-chappelles-closer-special-its-exactly-what-youd-expect">as high as 97%</a> on the popular website Rotten Tomatoes. Chappelle <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/5-of-dave-chappelles-most-controversial-jokes-from-the-closer-netflix-special">triggered</a> the far-left with jokes about the trans community, defending J.K. Rowling, and going after the LGBT community for trying to cancel a rapper over a comment the rapper made.
&#8220;What I should have led with in those emails was humanity,&#8221; Sarandos said. &#8220;I should have recognized the fact that a group of our employees was really hurting.&#8221;
&#8220;To be clear, storytelling has an impact in the real world…sometimes quite negative,&#8221; Sarandos said, after he previously stated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netflix-ceo-doubles-down-on-chappelle-amid-news-of-trans-employee-walkout-humor-doesnt-translate-to-real-world-harm">the opposite</a>. “We have articulated to our employees that there are going to be things you don’t like. There are going to be things that you might feel are harmful. But we are trying to entertain a world with varying tastes and varying sensibilities and various beliefs, and I think this special was consistent with that.”
Liberal political commentator Bari Weiss responded to Sarandos&#8217; remarks by writing on Twitter, &#8220;And so the caving commences.&#8221;
Sarandos originally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netflix-responds-to-far-left-outrage-over-dave-chappelle-we-support-his-artistic-freedom">stated</a> in a memo to employees:
<blockquote>I wanted to follow-up on the “The Closer” — Dave Chappelle’s latest special — as several of you have reached out following QBR asking what to say to your teams. It never feels good when people are hurting, especially our colleagues, so I wanted to give you some additional context. You should also be aware that some talent may join third parties in asking us to remove the show in the coming days, which we are not going to do.
Chappelle is one of the most popular stand-up comedians today, and we have a long standing deal with him. His last special “Sticks &amp; Stones,” also controversial, is our most watched., stickiest and most award winning stand-up special to date. As with our other talent, we work hard to support their creative freedom – even though this means there will always be content on Netflix some people believe is harmful, like “Cuties,” “365 Days,” “13 Reasons Why” or “My Unorthodox Life.””
Several of you have also asked where we draw the line on hate. We don’t allow titles Netflix that are designed to incite hate or violence, and we don’t believe The Closer crosses that line. I recognize, however, that distinguishing between commentary and harm is hard, especially with stand-up comedy which exists to push boundaries. Some people find the art of stand-up to be mean-spirited but our members enjoy it, and it’s an important part of our content offering.
In terms of our commitment to inclusion, we’re working hard to ensure more people see their lives reflected on screen and that under-represented communities are not defined by the singe story. So we’re proud of titles like “Sex Education,” “Young Royals,” “Control Z” and “Disclosure.” Externally, particularly in stand-up comedy, artistic freedom is obviously a very different standard of speech than we allow internally as the goals are different: entertaining people versus maintaining a respectful, productive workplace.
Today’s conversation on Entertain the World was timely. These are hard and uncomfortable issues. We all bring different values and perspectives so thank you for being part of the conversation as it’s important we’re clear about our operating principals.</blockquote>

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) announced on Tuesday that Florida has created incentive packages to get companies to abandon clogged ports in states like Democrat-controlled California and use Florida&#8217;s ports instead, a move that he says can help solve the worsening supply chain crisis.
DeSantis made the announcement during a press conference at the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) alongside Florida Department of Transportation Secretary Kevin Thibault and Florida Seaport executives.
The governor&#8217;s office said in a statement:
<blockquote>At the event, JAXPORT announced that they will be offering incentives to any company that chooses to bring its business to the port, freeing up backlogs at other ports while ensuring Americans are able to receive the goods they order faster. Governor DeSantis was able to make the announcement that Florida Seaports are able to meet demand because Florida has continuously invested in its seaports.</blockquote>
&#8220;Year after year we continue to invest in our seaports, in infrastructure and in workforce education to make sure our supply chain is resilient,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;I’m especially proud of Florida’s seaports. They are crown jewels in our state. While other U.S. ports are just now announcing around-the-clock operations, in Florida many of our ports are used to serving Florida farmers, families and businesses with 24 hour operations.&#8221;
&#8220;As the rest of the nation faces rampant inflation and businesses stare down unprecedented supply chain problems, our message is this: Florida is here, we have capacity, we have incentive packages to help businesses who want to move here and we are going to make sure Americans get their Christmas Gifts this season,&#8221; DeSantis continued.
DeSantis&#8217; office added:
<blockquote>Since 2019, Florida has invested nearly $1 billion into its seaports to ensure there is capacity to serve as much cargo as possible. The state has also invested in infrastructure to make sure roadways are capable of handling the demand of today’s freight movements. As an example of the state’s commitment to improving freight logistics, the Florida Department of Transportation is scheduled to invest an additional $200 million in infrastructure improvements over the next few years to ensure there are no significant logjams or freight movement delays. &#8230;
As Florida welcomes more business and has capacity to take on more cargo at ports, the nation is facing supply-chain issues, the likes of which have not been seen in decades. As a result of the supply-chain problems, the country is facing out-of-control inflation:
<ul>
<li>Last week, the Social Security Administration announced that its beneficiaries will see a 5.9 percent increase in their benefits – the largest boost to benefits in close to four decades;</li>
<li>This year, gas prices reached the highest level since 2014;</li>
<li>The year-over-year increase in food prices is the highest in 10 years; and</li>
<li>Overall, the U.S. inflation rate matched the highest rate since the financial crisis of 2008.</li>
</ul>
Florida’s unique geographical presence positions the state to accept diverted cargo from locations limited by supply chain delays and lost productivity. With major cargo seaports with additional capacity like JAXPORT and Port Everglades along the Atlantic Coast, or Port Tampa Bay and Port Panama City within the Gulf of Mexico, Florida seaports can save Christmas during the busy holiday season.</blockquote>

The U.N. Security Council has reportedly called for an emergency meeting to take place after North Korea says that it successfully launched a ballistic missile from a submarine.
&#8220;North Korea test-fired a new, smaller ballistic missile from a submarine, state media confirmed on Wednesday, a move that analysts said could be aimed at more quickly fielding an operational missile submarine,&#8221; Reuters <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/nkorea-says-it-conducted-successful-missile-test-submarine-kcna-2021-10-19/">reported</a>. &#8220;The statement from state media came a day after South Korea&#8217;s military reported that it believed North Korea had fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) off its east coast, the latest in a string of North Korean missile tests.&#8221;
CBS Evening News host Norah O&#8217;Donnell reported that the U.N. Security Council had called for an emergency meeting over the incident.
&#8220;The U.N. Security Council has just announced that it will hold an emergency meeting after North Korea launched a new ballistic missile,&#8221; O&#8217;Donnell said. &#8220;These are the first pictures of what the North Koreans say is a missile being launched from a submarine, which would be a major advance for the country&#8217;s military.&#8221;
&#8220;And the timing could be deliberate, President Biden&#8217;s special envoy for North Korea will reportedly meet with allies in South Korea about reviving those nuclear talks with Kim Jong Un,&#8221; she added.

The announcement comes just days after the Financial Times reported that communist China had successfully launched a hypersonic missile that orbited the globe before turning toward its intended target.
The <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/ba0a3cde-719b-4040-93cb-a486e1f843fb">Financial Times</a> reported:
<blockquote>China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught US intelligence by surprise. Five people familiar with the test said the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target.
The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles, according to three people briefed on the intelligence. But two said the test showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realized. The test has raised new questions about why the US often underestimated China’s military modernization.</blockquote>
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded to the news during Monday&#8217;s press briefing by saying that the Biden administration &#8220;welcomes stiff competition&#8221; from communist China.
“I’m not going to comment on the specific report,” Psaki responded. “I can say and would echo what he said, which is, generally speaking, we’ve made clear, are concerned about the military capabilities that the PRC continues to pursue. And we have been consistent in our approach with China. We welcome stiff competition, but we do not that competition to veer into conflict. And that is certainly what we convey privately as well.”
Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence responded to Psaki&#8217;s comments by saying, “Dear God. The entire Biden [team] doesn’t take the threat from China seriously.”

A federal grand jury charged U.S. Representative Jeff Fortenberry (R-NE) on Tuesday for allegedly lying to federal law enforcement officials during the course of an investigation about campaign finance activity.
&#8220;Fortenberry, 60, of Lincoln, Nebraska, was named in an indictment that charges him with one count of scheming to falsify and conceal material facts and two counts of making false statements to federal investigators,&#8221; the DOJ <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/us-rep-jeff-fortenberry-charged-scheme-deceive-federal-investigators-probing-illegal">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;The indictment alleges that Fortenberry repeatedly lied to and misled authorities during a federal investigation into illegal contributions to Fortenberry’s re-election campaign made by a foreign billionaire in early 2016. Gilbert Chagoury, a foreign national prohibited by federal law from contributing to any U.S. elections, arranged for $30,000 of his money to be contributed through other individuals (conduits) to Fortenberry’s campaign during a fundraiser held in Los Angeles, according to the indictment.&#8221;
The indictment alleges that Fortenberry learned about the illegal campaign donations and did not file an amended report with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).
The indictment says that Fortenberry, after allegedly learning about the illegal campaign donations, “knowingly and willfully falsified, concealed, and covered up by trick, scheme, and device material facts” about the criminal activity.
The DOJ further added:
<blockquote>As part of the scheme, Fortenberry allegedly made false and misleading statements during a March 23, 2019 interview with investigators who specifically told him it was a crime to lie to the federal government. 
The indictment alleges that Fortenberry falsely told investigators that he was not aware of [Chagoury associate – Toufic Joseph Baaklini] ever being involved in illegal campaign contributions, that the individuals who made contributions at the 2016 fundraiser were all publicly disclosed, and that he was not aware of any contributions to his campaign from a foreign national.
At a second interview on July 18, 2019 with federal investigators and prosecutors, Fortenberry allegedly made additional false statements, including denying he was aware of any illicit donation made during the 2016 fundraiser, denying that Individual H had told him Baaklini had provided the $30,000 cash at the 2016 fundraiser, and stating that he would have been “horrified” to learn about the illegal conduit contributions, according to the indictment.
During this second interview, Fortenberry also misleadingly stated he ended the June 2018 call with Individual H after that person made a “concerning comment,” when in fact Fortenberry continued to ask Individual H to host another fundraiser for his campaign, the indictment states.</blockquote>
Fortenberry, if convicted, is facing up to 5 years in federal prison for each of the three charges that he is facing.
