House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday accused President Trump and congressional Republicans of going “radio silent” during the government shutdown. Jeffries told Jon Karl on ABC’s “This Week” that “we haven’t heard anything from Donald Trump or the Republicans over the last few weeks. They have gone radio silent since,” a Sept. 29 Oval…

Rebuilding Gaza will take ‘decades’, cost $70B, experts say
With a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in effect, many questions about the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip remain. It may take decades, not years, to rebuild Gaza due to the massive destruction, an expert from the Brookings Institute told ABC News. Under the ceasefire agreement, the Gaza Strip is set to be redeveloped for the Palestinian people. Jaco Cilliers, an official from United Nations Development Programme, said at a press conference on Tuesday that it had already cleared some 81,000 tons of rubble from the Gaza Strip and was continuing to do so. However, it is unclear when reconstruction will begin and who will finance the effort, the Brookings Institute expert, Hady Amr, told ABC News. Amr, the former U.S. representative for Palestinian affairs from 2022 until 2025, said: “I don’t think there’s any modern comparison to what’s going to need to happen in the Gaza Strip right now. The level of destruction and devastation is just absolutely immense. “Imagine not…

SOTT FOCUS: NewsReal: Peacemaker Trump Ends 3,000 Years of War in the Mid-East!
Or so he’d like you to believe. Trump’s bullsh*t reached unprecedented heights last week with his theatrical ‘Mid-East Peace Deal’ in Egypt, which was really just a declaration of intent signed by the leaders of parties other than Israel and Hamas, and in which they expressed their desire to see the conflict ended. That’s it. Hamas has released all remaining Israeli hostages, while Israel has released a couple thousands Palestinian ones. But the fundamentally barbaric and illegal occupation and colonization of Palestinian lands continues. In the meantime, Trump’s also been publicly bragging in Israel’s Knesset (!) about Israeli money buying US foreign policy… Far from being ‘resolved’, Israel’s ‘Palestinian problem’ is likely being shifted into the next phase: bloody civil war instigated by ‘militias’ funded and/or fully supported by the US and Israel.

The ‘No Kings’ Protests Against Democracy Itself Trump’s decisive 2024 victory exposed the irony of the left’s “No Kings” protests—an anti-democracy tantrum against the most democratic act of all: an election. By Roger Kimball
https://amgreatness.com/2025/10/19/the-no-kings-protests-against-democracy-itself/
On November 5, 2024, Donald Trump won the United States presidential election against Kamala Harris. It was a convincing win. Trump snagged victory in the Electoral College, where the contest is officially decided, 312 to 226. He needed only 270 to prevail. He also won the popular vote (a nice but unnecessary distinction), with 77,302,580 votes to 75,017,613, a margin of almost 2 million votes.
I mention these well-known facts to underscore the black comedy of the “No Kings” protests taking place across the country as I write. According to several sources, some 2500 separate protests are planned. Millions of people are expected to join in the fun. More than 200 left-wing groups, from the ACLU and Antifa to Indivisible, have helped organize the events. Prominent Democrats from Bernie Sanders to AOC to Gavin Newsom, and Chuck Schumer are panting to attend and proclaim their virtue and denounce the duly elected president of the United States. Really, as Speaker of the House Mike Johnson observed, the “No Kings” rallies ought to be called “Hate America” rallies.
I live in deep-blue Fairfield County, Connecticut. In nearby Westport, terminally disgruntled middle-to-late-aged citizens joined, but clumps of unattractive GenZeers—Geezers and Zeers—regularly congregate on a certain bridge to protest for or against whatever the central committee has handed down as this week’s issue: climate change, fossil fuels, Brett Kavanaugh, or Israel. Whatever it is, they are there with their signs, self-righteousness, and ire. I am pretty sure I recognized some old-timers today from their stints protesting against George W. Bush and the Iraq War. Naturally, the crowds were out in force today to disrupt traffic and inform the world that they disliked Donald Trump and all his works.
It was a large gathering. It was also depressingly pathetic. As one commentator observed, “Protests are meant to be the voices of the unheard. Yet these protests are the voices of those who never shut up.”
The ironies abound. The announced theme of this Soros-funded, Communist-Party-endorsed network of protests is “No Kings.” But Donald Trump is not a king. He is a democratically elected president. He obeys (and then appeals) every outrageous injunction issued by hubristic district court judges to stymie his agenda. But Trump is nonetheless excoriated by the media and professional leftists for acting in a tyrannical, king-like (they never say “regal”) way. Trump himself had fun with this absurdity. “I was very concerned that a king was trying to take my place,” he wrote, “but thanks to your tireless efforts, I am STILL YOUR PRESIDENT!” If Trump were really a king, as another commentator on X observed, the government would be open now. Trump would simply decree it.
