Iranian-backed groups and pro-Hamas Islamists celebrated the horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staff at a D.C. Jewish museum on Wednesday, hailing it as “a moment of courage” and a &#8220;heroic attack&#8221; against &#8220;the Zionist entity.&#8221;
Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, were exiting an event for young Jewish professionals, where they were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/israeli-embassy-staff-murdered-by-unidentified-shooter-outside-capitol-jewish-museum?author=Kassy+Akiva&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=13&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Two+Israeli+Embassy+Staffers+Murdered+By+Keffiyeh-Wearing+Man+Shouting+%E2%80%98Free+Palestine%E2%80%99+In+DC">shot</a> at close range by 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, who is now in custody.
The suspected attacker is reportedly not Muslim, but carried out the attack in support of Hamas, reportedly yelling “Free, free Palestine,” while shooting at the couple.
&#8220;I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza, I am unarmed,&#8221; Rodriguez told police after the shooting, according to an FBI affidavit.
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) <a href="https://www.memri.org/jttm/palestinian-factions-iran-backed-iraqi-militias-jihadi-clerics-celebrate-deadly-shooting-jewish">reports</a> that the pro-Hamas Gaza Now media outlet glorified Rodriguez on Telegram, claiming that &#8220;in a moment of courage, he decided to make his voice heard and boldly confront the killers.&#8221;
“He opened fire, killing an Israeli employee, and stood defiantly, handcuffed, to raise the banner of justice in the face of injustice,” the group said.
The Iranian-backed Palestinian Mujahideen Movement, a terrorist organization separate from Hamas that has <a href="https://intelligence.weforum.org/monitor/latest-knowledge/f947690f2acd4761ac47bab4bfa66f9b">claimed</a> responsibility for rocket attacks against Israel, said in a statement that the attack reflected &#8220;growing global anger&#8221; toward Israel for its supposed &#8220;barbaric crimes&#8221; in Gaza and declared that Israel&#8217;s &#8220;ongoing impunity&#8221; is a &#8220;threat to international stability and peace,&#8221; MEMRI reported.

A Telegram channel called &#8220;Unit 10000,&#8221; affiliated with Iran-backed militias in Iraq, shared a video showing the arrest of the suspect and praised the shooting as a &#8220;heroic attack&#8221; against &#8220;the Zionist entity.&#8221;
Syrian jihadi cleric Abu Yahya Al-Shami published a post on Telegram praising the shooter and urging Muslims to follow his example.
The cleric expressed fury at Muslim &#8220;indolence&#8221; in waging jihad, indignant that &#8220;infidels&#8221; such as Rodriguez are murdering Israelis while Muslims remain &#8220;inactive.&#8221;
Federal authorities are investigating the shooting as a domestic terrorism incident with possible international connections.
Rodriguez is being <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/charges-revealed-in-d-c-terror-attack-shooter-did-it-for-palestine-fbi-says?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Charges+Revealed+In+D.C.+Terror+Attack%3B+Shooter+%E2%80%98Did+It+For+Palestine%2C%E2%80%99+FBI+Says">charged</a> with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, and two counts of first-degree murder, according to an FBI affidavit.
The FBI is currently investigating Rodriguez&#8217;s online activities and potential ties to extremist groups, though initial reports suggest he was radicalized primarily through social media content related to the Gaza conflict.
The suspect had no prior criminal record, but had reportedly become increasingly vocal about pro-Palestinian causes on various social media platforms in recent months.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino <a href="https://x.com/FBIDDBongino/status/1925580947463762139">said</a> on X, “The FBI is aware of certain writings allegedly authored by the suspect, and we hope to have updates as to the authenticity very soon.”
Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Washington Jeanine Pirro clarified that domestic terrorism charges could likely be added to Rodriguez’s case following the conclusion of the FBI investigation into the suspect.
“Violence against anyone based on their religion is an act of cowardice. It is not the act of a hero. It is the kind of case that we will vigorously pursue,” Pirro said at a Thursday press conference. “Antisemitism will not be tolerated, especially in the nation’s capital. We are going to continue to investigate this as a hate crime and a crime of terrorism and we will add additional charges as the evidence warrants.”

Bill Owens, the longtime executive producer of the CBS show “60 Minutes,” has officially stepped down from the role, saying he no longer felt he had full editorial control over the program.
Owens has been with CBS since he started as a summer intern in 1988 and was in charge of “60 Minutes” since 2019. Now with his resignation, the TV exec says the job has changed to the point where he can no longer do it the way he wants to.
“Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience,” Owens wrote in a final memo that was obtained by <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/04/22/media/60-minutes-producer-bill-owens-quits-under-pressure-from-trumps-cbs-lawsuit/">the New York Post</a>.
“So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside so the show can move forward,” he added.
Per the outlet, Owens wrote that “‘60 Minutes’ will continue to cover the new administration, as we will report on future administrations.”
“The show is too important to the country. It has to continue, just not with me as the executive producer,” he wrote.
CBS News President Wendy McMahon also shared praise for Owens, writing in a separate memo, “Standing behind what he stood for was an easy decision for me, and I never took for granted that he did the same for me.”
His resignation comes at a time when CBS is facing legal pressure on several fronts, including a $10 billion lawsuit from President Donald Trump.
Per a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sues-cbs-news-for-10-billion-over-kamala-60-minutes-interview-edits">report</a> from The Daily Wire, Trump is suing CBS and “60 Minutes” for allegedly manipulating footage from an interview with Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign. The suit claims the network edited her answers to make her appear more polished and to boost the Democrat’s chances, which Trump says held sway with voters.
CBS reps insist that the interview was edited according to standard practices and was not politically biased. But despite their claims, the lawsuit is ongoing. CBS’ parent company, Paramount, is reportedly considering a settlement, especially as it seeks a potential merger with Skydance Media.
One insider told the Post that CBS “is not the home of the investigative journalism of Mike Wallace anymore,” calling the show a “mouthpiece” for the Left.
“Every allegation of bias only tilts one way and it’s always in the favor of the Democrats,” the source said.
Owens didn’t explicitly say his resignation had anything to do with the lawsuit or other internal issues, but the timing has the public questioning his motives for leaving. It’s all part of a major shakeup of mainstream media inspired in large part by the election of Trump and the people’s desire to stop being manipulated by left-leaning outlets masquerading as non-partisan.

President Donald Trump issued an official message on Thursday in honor of National K-9 Veterans Day 2025, which honors heroic working dogs for their “unwavering devotion,&#8221; bravery, and more.
“Dogs are not only man’s best friend, offering companionship and loyalty, but also guardians, instinctively protecting their loved ones with unwavering devotion,” Trump’s message read.  “On National K-9 Veterans Day, the First Lady and I join our Nation in honoring the dedicated service of those working dogs serving alongside our military and law enforcement to defend our citizens and our Homeland.”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

“Since the U.S. Military began employing Military Working Dogs, over 30,000 dedicated working dogs have served,” it added. “The K-9 Corps has played a vital role in strengthening America’s safety, with over 1,600 active Military Working Dogs currently providing support to our brave men and women defending our freedom.”
“These dogs are specially trained to detect explosives, drugs, and other contraband, often risking their lives alongside their handlers,” the message continued. “During search-and-rescue operations, these dogs use their keen sense of smell and unparalleled agility to support military personnel.  Serving on the front lines, in combat zones, and at our borders, these fearless four-legged fighters are an invaluable part of protecting America.”

“After a long tenure of service, punctuated by the takedown of a White House intruder, Hurricane earned a place in all our hearts and in the Guinness Book of World Records with numerous awards,” it said of the pup who just recently passed away.
“There was also Cairo, a member of the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, who participated in the raid on Osama bin Laden; and Rex, who saved countless lives by detecting explosives in combat in Iraq,” it added. “These dogs, along with so many others, exemplify extraordinary courage and dedication to supporting our military service personnel.”

Melania Trump’s plans as first lady the second time around will reportedly look different than when she and President Donald Trump occupied the White House during his first term, a source said.
Speaking to <a href="https://people.com/melania-trump-leads-own-life-1-month-into-presidency-exclusive-source-11685588?utm_campaign=people&amp;utm_content=likeshop&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a>, an exclusive source told the outlet that Melania has “her own ideas on what she wants to do” during Trump’s 47th presidency and that her stepping away from the spotlight the last few weeks &#8220;should not come as a surprise because this is how she lives.&#8221;
“She will never be a traditional first lady,” the source told the outlet. “That isn’t who she is.”
The insider also said the first lady &#8220;has been involved with moving ahead on her own projects, and recently she has been in the White House for that.&#8221;
Another source said, “Melania has been busy shooting her documentary and that has taken place in several locations, including the White House.”
<a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/melania-trump-documentary-amazon-brett-ratner-directing-1236265670/">Variety</a> previously reported that Melania was working on a documentary for Amazon Prime Video that she is executive producing with Fernando Sulichin. The documentary will be directed by Brett Ratner.
Another insider told the outlet that Melania and Trump &#8220;both live at Mar-a-Lago and have quarters in the White House. But she leads her own life and joins him when appropriate in either place.&#8221;

In January, the first lady spoke to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6367025633112">Fox News</a> about her plans to &#8220;expand&#8221; her initiative “Be Best” during Trump’s second term after noting the little support her initiative got the first time around.
&#8220;Imagine what we could do in those years if they will rally behind me and teach the children and protect them about social media and their mental health,&#8221; Melania said. &#8220;It will be an exciting four years. We have a lot to do.&#8221;
At one point in the same interview, the first lady said she’s more prepared to move and live in the White House than the last time in 2017, following Trump’s election victory.
“The difference is I know where I will be going. I know the rooms, where we will be living, I know the process,” Melania said. “The first time was challenging. We didn’t have much of the information. But this time I have everything &#8230; So it’s a very different transition this time, second time around.”
The first lady also talked about how she didn’t “feel that people” accepted, understood, or supported her during President Trump&#8217;s first term. She said she’s looking forward to her second time in the White House, and those things being different.

The most decorated four-legged hero in United States History, who defended the White House before his retirement from the United States Secret Service Special Operations Canine unit, has died. He was 16 years old.
“Hurricane was a true American hero.

In 2014, Hurricane made headlines for his bravery when he took down a White House intruder who had scaled the White House fence during former President Barack Obama’s presidency while his family was inside, per a former <a href="https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2022/03/former-uniformed-division-k-9-officer-hurricane-awarded-distinguished">USSS release.</a>

But Hurricane did not give up.”
Shortly after the incident, Hurricane retired due to the injuries but was always credited with being a “very good boy.”
“On every shift of every day, we at the Secret Service strive to uphold five core values; Duty, Honor, Loyalty, Justice, and Courage,” Uniformed Division Assistant Chief Michael Buck said during a ceremony that honored the four-legged hero with the Distinguished Service Medal. “They are the five points of our agency’s star, and on a dark night in October 2014, they were embodied by a very good boy named Hurricane.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daughters of the American Revolution</a> National Board of Management on Saturday rejected a proposal from its Texas chapter to keep trans-identifying men out of the group.
In a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=122126401004407101&amp;set=gm.1792407311544493&amp;idorvanity=1659132851538607">letter</a> to the Martha Laird Chapter, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-board-to-vote-to-keep-trans-identifying-men-out" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DAR National Board of Management</a>, said it “found the proposed amendment” to prohibit all men, including trans-identifying males, from the group &#8220;not to be suitable for inclusion in the bylaws and not to be in the best interest of the Society.”
“The board rejected the proposed amendments in their entirety. The proposed amendments will not be forwarded to the 134th Continental Congress,” it added, noting it will continue to allow “state-certified birth certificates” and not base membership on “chromosomal DNA tests to establish an applicant&#8217;s sex.”
Daily Wire host Michael Knowles<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/michael-knowles-exposes-transgender-attempt-to-infiltrate-daughters-of-american-revolution"> revealed</a> — in a viral thread on <a href="https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/1838267625962405922">X</a> — how a group of DAR members were “channeling the rebellious spirit of their forebears” by fighting back “this time building a larger, grassroots effort to affirm the original intent of the bylaws and prevent men from continuing to invade their genealogical society.”
The Daily Wire spoke to Martha Laird Chapter Recording Secretary Laura McDonald after the vote, and she said the chapter was “disappointed but not discouraged.”
“The rejection of our proposal to define a woman in our bylaws from the National Board of Management sadly confirms what we knew all along. That is a political stance the leadership is taking,” McDonald said.
“We have another proposal ready, and our chapter will vote at our next meeting in March,” she added. “The language of the new proposal will be slightly tweaked to accommodate the concerns the NBM addressed in their rejection letter.”
“We are looking forward to this process again in the coming year. Our goal is to restore our iconic, historic and once prestigious American institution founded by women, for women, and we intend to see it through,” McDonald continued.
In January, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas">Texas</a> chapter decided to fight back against its national organization’s decision to allow trans-identifying males into their organization, as The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daughters-of-the-american-revolution-chapter-is-fighting-to-keep-men-out">reported</a>.
In a letter, the chapter pushed back against a threat from its leadership that by prohibiting transgender males, the DAR would somehow lose its tax-exempt status, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/texas-daughters-american-revolution-chapter-challenges-premise-must-admit-transgender-members">Fox News</a> reported.
“Members have been told that in order to keep our nonprofit status we must allow men who submit an altered birth certificate indicating they are female to be eligible members,” a letter on the DAR <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1659132851538607/permalink/1776056659846225/?mibextid=wwXIfr&amp;_rdr">Facebook</a> page read. “Our hope is that once members and the NBM can feel confident that our nonprofit status is not in jeopardy, they will no longer feel intimidated and vote to allow this bylaw amendment to be heard at Continental Congress.”
The vote comes after President Donald Trump signed an <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defending-women-from-gender-ideology-extremism-and-restoring-biological-truth-to-the-federal-government/">executive order</a> stating that the United States will only recognize two genders.

Liberal women are vowing to go on a sex strike in protest of President Donald Trump’s 2024 election-night win.
The trend is inspired by the feminists in South Korea who started a movement called “4B” which rejects traditional gender roles and “the patriarchy”. The “4” represents no sex, no dating, no childbirth and no marriage while the “B” represents a negative as “bi” is a prefix for negative words in South Korea.
American liberal women are announcing on social media that they’re joining the movement with the intention to punish men for “voting against women’s rights.” Translated: liberal women are throwing a temper tantrum because the majority of Americans agree with commonsense restrictions on abortion opposed to allowing abortion through all nine months of pregnancy for any reason under the sun.
Ironically, liberal women who have largely rejected abstinence as an option to prevent pregnancy are now admitting it works.

She <a href="https://x.com/solitasims/status/1854042963971858666">goes on to say</a>, “I am very much a radical feminist, I just don’t talk about it much. But I am literally so serious. Guard your womb, SERIOUSLY. IF you choose to be with a male, make sure he actually values and respects you at a human f***** being. This is ridiculous.”
The inauguration is over two months away and somehow there seems to be a “President Trump effect” that is making America more wholesome already. It seems far-fetched that a radical feminist would be encouraging women to guard their wombs and wait for a man who values and respects them, but that’s exactly what we’re witnessing. Who is going to tell them this has been a conservative talking point all along?
In some cases within the new obsession of the 4B movement, liberal women are shaving their hair to make themselves less attractive to men. X account @libsoftiktok shared a selfie-style video of a woman cutting her own hair while telling women not to have sex with, date, or talk to men.

Regardless of the reason causing women to pursue abstinence to prevent pregnancy, the pro-life movement considers this a win.
It proves what we’ve been saying all along; women have always had control over their bodies. Women have always been able to abstain from casual sex. In fact, it would be real misogyny to suggest women are incapable of being responsible and accountable for their own consensual decisions.
If women elect to abstain from casual sex with men who don’t value them, unplanned pregnancies will be prevented. If there are less unplanned pregnancies, there will be less women seeking abortions.
There is no scenario where this is a negative, unless you happen to be Planned Parenthood or any other part of the $2 billion abortion industry. It must be difficult witnessing their clients and biggest supporters commit themselves to abstinence.

As ironic and full circle as this moment is, it shines a light on the lies and manipulation of the pro-abortion Harris/Walz campaign and one of the democrats largest donors, Planned Parenthood. When President Biden was still the Democratic nominee, Planned Parenthood pledged to spend <a href="https://apnews.com/article/planned-parenthood-spending-45-million-2024-election-a6b9252fec64d1e051816ea173dab32f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$40 million</a> to bolster Biden and leading congressional Democrats according to a statement shared with The Associated Press.
Tens of millions of dollars behind corrupt politicians are intentionally manipulating women to think their lives are at risk with any sort of abortion restriction on the books. That number increases to hundreds of millions if you include the pro-abortion referendums across the country this election cycle.
There have been political speeches, news headlines, social media posts and more fearmongering women to believe it is illegal to get miscarriage care.
The new 4B movement posts are full of the same reiterated falsehoods and misinformation.
It is worth noting there is no state in the country, including those that have restrictions on abortion, which bans miscarriage care or ectopic pregnancy treatment and there are no states that don’t have an exception for the life of the mother. Legislation for each state is very clear on this.
It is also worth noting that there have been no women killed by abortion bans, despite pro-abortion, legacy media headlines. Of the fatal cases we’ve seen highlighted in headlines, the cause of death has been a direct result of abortion or medical malpractice.
If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz cared about women, they wouldn’t have repeatedly lied on the issue of abortion, instilling fear among women across the country. If they hadn’t campaigned on abortion lies and simply told the truth, we likely wouldn’t be seeing as many women shaving their hair off and screaming obscenities in the middle of a mental break on social media.
However entertaining and ironic these videos have been to many over the past few days, no one deserves to live in politically manufactured fear.
Women deserve to know the truth. America deserves to know the truth.

Former advisor — first to former President Barack <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/barack-obama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Obama</a> and then to Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> — David Plouffe deleted his X (formerly Twitter) account after predicting her victory and taking a swipe at former President Joe Biden.
Following former President Donald Trump’s stunning victory on Wednesday against the VP, Plouffe took to social media and <a href="https://x.com/JuliannaFrieman/status/1854527397606863211">wrote,</a> “It was a privilege to spend the last 100 days with @KamalaHarris and the amazing staff led by @jomalleydillon who left it all on the field for their country,” the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/11/07/us-news/harris-campaign-senior-adviser-deletes-x-account-after-dinging-biden-for-deep-hole-he-left-dems-in/">New York Post</a> reported.
“We dug out of a deep hole but not enough,” he added, before he <a href="https://x.com/davidplouffe">deleted his X account</a> on Thursday. “A devastating loss. Thanks for being in the arena, all of you.”
On Tuesday night, <a href="https://x.com/barrycunningham/status/1854545456044347734">CNN</a> spoke to Plouffe, who predicted that Harris was going to sweep all seven of the battleground states in the 2024 election: Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. In the end, it was Trump who ended up sweeping all seven.
In the clip on X, Plouffe said they had prepared for the race to be “super close,” but that he was feeling good about their chances and claimed that undecided were turning their way.

He also said that they were “closing strong” in Pennsylvania, and that they had a “credible pathway to all seven states &#8230; to go into Kamala’s column. But we believe they are all going to be close.”
Plouffe was the manager for Barack Obama&#8217;s 2008 campaign which resulted in him winning the White House for the first time.
In a statement to POLITICO, Harris&#8217; campaign advisor said he was “Just taking a break as part of reimmersion into life and out of the campaign bunker,” the Post noted.
One aide to Harris after the election told <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/06/how-bidens-vulnerabilities-led-to-a-bloodbath-for-harris-00187807">POLITICO</a>, “We ran the best campaign we could, considering Joe Biden was president. Joe Biden is the singular reason Kamala Harris and Democrats lost tonight.”
After Plouffe’s dig at Biden, one source connected to the president said that “Joe Biden is the President of the United States and won without [Plouffe]. He successfully beat Donald Trump — something [Plouffe] never did,” <a href="https://x.com/JacquiHeinrich/status/1854261740277526615">Fox News</a> reported.
The source also labeled Plouffe a “sanctimonious a**” and bashed the advisor’s “unproductive” social media post.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley announced a victory for election integrity in Georgia after the state’s Supreme Court ruled that absentee ballots received after election day will not be counted.
“HUGE election integrity victory in Georgia,” Whatley wrote in a post on Monday on <a href="https://x.com/ChairmanWhatley/status/1853534896452444306">X</a> after the RNC and Georgia Republican party appealed a decision on Friday by a lower court after the ACLU filed a lawsuit in the swing state claiming that some 3,000 voters in Cobb county didn’t get their mail-in ballots on time, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/behind-scenes-battles-legal-challenges-could-impact-vote-before-election-day-begins">Fox News</a> reported.
“Democrat-run Cobb County wanted to accept 3,000 absentee ballots AFTER the Election Day deadline,&#8221; he added. &#8220;We took this case to the Georgia Supreme Court. We just got word that we WON the case. Election Day is Election Day — not the week after. We will keep fighting, keep winning, and keep sharing updates.&#8221;
The state Supreme Court took up the Emergency motion and said in its ruling that only those “absentee ballots received by the statutory deadline of 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 5, 2024” can be counted.

The GOP Chair’s post comes following Cobb County Judge Robert Flournoy&#8217;s <a href="https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/pro-voting-groups-sue-georgia-county-to-extend-ballot-receipt-deadline-for-undelivered-ballots/">decision</a> in the ACLU&#8217;s favor that ordered that ballots must be sent overnight to the affected voters. He also ruled that ballots-if postmarked by Election Day-could be counted as late as Nov. 8 at 5 p.m.
“We commend the court for prioritizing the voices of over 3,000 Cobb County voters who deserve to have their ballots counted,” Theresa J. Lee, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project said, <a href="https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/judge-orders-cobb-county-officials-to-express-mail-over-3000-delayed-absentee-ballots">at the time</a>. “This decision helps voters who followed the proper procedures to now have a chance to participate in this election, despite the county’s unfortunate administrative errors.”
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nevada-supreme-court-rules-on-counting-ballots-received-after-election-day-without-postmarks">federal appeals court</a> in Mississippi recently ruled in the GOP’s favor in another suit that argued mail-in ballots received after Election Day were illegal, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4954413-federal-appeals-court-rules-mississippi-mail-ballots/">reported</a>. However, it <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/election-presidential-mississippi-republican-national-committee-appeal-late-mail-ballots-1976785" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appears</a> that the current law, which allows for mail-in ballots to be received for up to five days after Election Day, will remain in effect. 
Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel that, “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote by Election Day. And federal law does not permit the State of Mississippi to extend the period for voting by one day, five days, or 100 days. The State’s contrary law is preempted.”
“Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors,” the panel added. “Text, precedent and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials.” 
RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released a statement about the Mississippi ruling, calling it a “major win for election integrity, upholding the law and commonsense ballot safeguards.”
The appeals court ruling now sends the decision back to the lower court to decide whether the statute will be blocked immediately or whether it’s too close to Election Day 2024 to make the changes, The Hill noted.

Country superstars came together and raised tens of millions of dollars at a benefit concert for the victims of Hurricane Helene.
The Concert For Carolina, held in Charlotte on Saturday, raised $24.5 million dollars to help those in the southeastern states affected by the devastating hurricane that hit the area last month, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/north-carolina-helene-victims-left-behind-get-help-from-star-studded-concert-carolina">reported</a>.
The event was put on by North Carolina country singers Luke Bryan and Eric Church — who were joined by such stars as James Taylor, Billy Strings, Keith Urban, and more — with 100% of the proceeds going to help those hurt by the hurricane that left more than 230 dead.
During the concert, Church announced that, through his Chief Cares Foundation, 100 homes were also being donated to those in need, the outlet noted.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve come up with a plan called Blueprint for the Blue Ridge. We&#8217;re going to put 100 families in homes that have lost their homes in Avery County and the surrounding areas — one of the worst hit areas,” the singer said. “In an area that I spent half of my years, an area I&#8217;ve had a lot of inspiration and gained a lot of inspiration, in an area I&#8217;ve made five records in. And we&#8217;re going to go and keep those people in their community, put a roof over their heads, let them interact with their community, let them be a part of their community, and let them help rebuild the community.&#8221;

Church and Combs previously announced that all proceeds from the show would be split 50/50 between Combs and Church’s foundation, <a href="https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/hurricane/helene/hurricane-helene-benefit-concert-luke-combs-eric-church-james-taylor-billy-strings/275-e7bcfbfc-1d38-4312-9f47-60656ea00a73">WCNC </a>noted. Combs’ portion will be distributed among relief groups like Samaritan&#8217;s Purse and Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC, Fox News noted.
The concert also follows massive personal donations from country superstars like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/dolly-parton">Dolly Parton</a>, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jason-aldean">Jason Aldean</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/morgan-wallen">Morgan Wallen</a> to aid with hurricane relief efforts. The heavy metal rock band <a href="https://x.com/Metallica/status/1842292459558289888">Metallica</a> also announced they were contributing $100,000 to help those in the area.
Church and Combs previously spoke to <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/country/luke-combs-eric-church-hurricane-helene-relief-concert-interview-1235796031/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">Billboard</a> about a conversation the two singers had in the aftermath of the hurricane — a conversation that ultimately led to Saturday&#8217;s concert.
Combs — who went to Appalachian State University — said the morning after the hurricane hit, both of them “were just inundated with calls and texts and pictures and images from the areas.”
“I called Eric and was like, ‘Hey, let’s figure out how to do a show. I don’t know when, I don’t know where. We’ll worry about that later, but let’s just pool our resources,&#8217;” Combs said. “Let’s do what we do best and help in the way that is best suited to my abilities and Eric’s abilities’ and I think we’re doing that.”
“It was disbelief,” Church said. “These are areas that I knew and then I saw the photos and I didn’t recognize these areas. My family spends half the year in Banner Elk.”
“That’s as much home as Nashville is,” he added. “It was just this shock of I know what I’m supposed to be looking at, but that doesn’t look anything like what it looked like a week ago. I don’t think I’ve come to grips with it yet.”

Major League Baseball hitting legend Pete Rose, who loved playing baseball as much as any man who ever lived, passed away on Monday at his home in Las Vegas, his agent has confirmed. He was 83 years old.
Rose’s agent Ryan Fiterman confirmed to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/09/30/pete-rose-dead/">TMZ</a> that Rose had died and &#8220;the family is asking for privacy at this time.&#8221;  A cause of death has yet to be reported.
Rose, who once said, &#8220;I&#8217;d walk through hell in a gasoline suit to play baseball,&#8221;  started his pro career with the Cincinnati Reds, in 1963, when he won Rookie of the Year. His all-out, hell-bent-for leather style reminded old-time baseball fans of the legendary Ty Cobb, whose career hits record Rose would ultimately break. He was a 17-time All-Star and the National League MVP in 1973. He was the fiercest member of the legendary Big Red Machine in Cincinnati whose 1975 and 1976 World Series-winning teams are considered one of the best teams to have ever played in the major leagues.
In November 1978, Rose became a free agent, then signed with the Philadelphia Phillies, where he played for five years, becoming an integral reason why they won their first-ever  World Series in 1980 after eight decades of waiting. At the age of 41, he played each and every game of the 162-game season in 1982. After a brief sojourn with the Montreal Expos in 1984, he finished the season and played two more back with the Reds, finishing with the most hits, most games played, and most at-bats of any player in the history of major league baseball.
The switch-hitting Rose started his career playing second base, but when asked to move to third base immediately played there, all part of his ferocious desire to win. He was famous for calculating his batting average on his way to first base after a base hit, and could quote at length his statistics against all of the great pitchers he faced. He said the Los Angeles Dodgers&#8217; Sandy Koufax was the toughest pitcher he ever faced, and would take a coin and push it off a table to fall straight down, saying that was how impossible Koufax&#8217;s curveball was to hit. &#8220;I got 10 for 57 off of him. Get your calculator; that&#8217;s .175. When you don&#8217;t hit your weight off of a pitcher you&#8217;re doing pretty bad,&#8221; he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppMRNWFfb4k">joked</a>.
His career was central to Rose&#8217;s life; he once said, &#8220;I&#8217;m just like everybody else. I have two arms, two legs and four-thousand hits.&#8221; He also said, &#8220;Willie Mays could throw better, and Hank Aaron could hit more home runs. But I&#8217;ve got enthusiasm. I&#8217;ve got desire. I&#8217;ve got hustle. Those are God-given talents, too.&#8221;
The Cincinnati-native and all-time MLB hits leader was banned from the sport in 1989 for gambling while he was a manager of the Reds.
The lifetime baseball ban also kept Rose — who won three World Series titles during his career — from being inducted into baseball&#8217;s Hall of Fame, something that has been the subject of contention for years among baseball fans.
Later in life, Rose said his one regret in life was betting on the games.
“There’s only one thing I would change if I had to live it all over again … I would obviously turn my life around and not bet on baseball,” Rose <a href="https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/2024/09/30/pete-rose-mlb-hits-leader-obituary/2808469001/">told the Cincinnati Enquirer</a>. “Having said that, I feel like I’ve been a pretty good citizen.”
“You never read about me being in a bar after hours, beating up my wife, or getting into a fight with a fan and I was as gracious to everyone as I could be,&#8221; he added.

North Carolina State Attorney General Democrat Josh Stein — now running for Governor — was torched for schmoozing with Dem. Gov. of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro while his state suffers after Hurricane Helene ravaged large portions of the area.
In a post shared on <a href="https://x.com/KathyManningNC/status/1840497242035396814">X</a> on Sunday, Dem. Representative Kathy Manning posed for a picture with Stein and Josh Shapiro at a campaign event in Greensboro, NC, after parts of North and South Carolina were completely destroyed due to the hurricane that hit the area on Friday night.
Manning’s post read, “There’s no joshin’ around in<a href="https://x.com/hashtag/NC06?src=hashtag_click"> #NC06</a> when it comes to protecting democracy.”

“Thanks to<a href="https://x.com/JoshShapiroPA"> @JoshShapiroPA</a> for coming to Greensboro to join me in supporting<a href="https://x.com/JoshStein_"> @JoshStein_</a> and Democrats up and down the ticket,” she added.
As of mid-day Monday, the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-helene-north-carolina-asheville-f02869c7d01e68f2d7f0553abb82252f">Associated Press reported</a> at least 130 deaths across multiple states, including <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/devastating-flooding-from-helene-besets-north-carolinas-asheville-local-death-toll-reaches-30">30 people killed</a> in the county where Asheville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/north-carolina">NC</a>, is located, and efforts to provide relief to flooded areas were ongoing.
Reading through the comments, many people called the image of the three smiling at the event “disgusting” and “tone deaf.”
“You have to be kidding me,” one person <a href="https://x.com/wendyp4545/status/1840573972938666260">wrote</a>. “The Western part of the state has thousands of people missing.  More than 30 dead and you had a party here today? None of you deserve your jobs.”
Another <a href="https://x.com/BasedSavannah/status/1840555730849415491">added</a>, “The perfect picture of EVERYTHING wrong with our country. Democrats fundraising in NC while many in our state are devastated right now and have lost EVERYTHING. Vile, evil and disgusting,  ALL of you.<a href="https://x.com/hashtag/ncpol?src=hashtag_click"> #ncpol</a>.”
While a third <a href="https://x.com/Itsjoeco/status/1840563279950660044">wrote</a>, “Hope the fundraising went well please don&#8217;t look a few miles to the west or you might find a national tragedy that the administration is ignoring.”
Others <a href="https://x.com/jedi_medic217/status/1840557748108296239">pointed</a> out that campaigning while people were “literally dying in the mountains” was disgraceful. “What the hell is wrong with you people?”
“<a href="https://x.com/joshstein">@JoshStein</a>, you have got thousands of people missing in western Carolina, total destruction and deaths and you are fundraising and posting it on Twitter,” another person wrote. “You just lost the election.”
While a third person <a href="https://x.com/BonnieBlueTK/status/1840570188174864887">added</a>, “You money grubbing ****. You could not reschedule a cash grab and social event to go to work for the people of your state who are dying, or who have lost everything. You aren&#8217;t just a disgrace to your state, you are a disgrace to humanity.”
