Judge rejects Trump’s voter registration proof-of-citizenship order
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Friday sided with civil rights groups that sued the Trump administration over an executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly wrote in her decision that the responsibility for election regulation is in the hands of the states and Congress, as…
Wicker, Reed demand Hegseth share Caribbean strike orders
Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) on Friday called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to give them copies of the orders issued to strike boats in the Caribbean that the Trump administration says were trafficking drugs. They released two letters addressed to Hegseth. The first was sent on Sept. 23, establishing the legal…
AUTOPEN REPORT: This could undo Joe Biden’s presidency
The House Oversight Committee has released its report on Biden’s autopen use as a cover-up of the former president’s mental decline — and while it’s not good, BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t surprised.
“As you probably already guessed, because you have eyeballs and a working brain, there was a coordinated cover-up of his deterioration from the public … but more importantly, the senior Biden staff exercised presidential authority or facilitated executive actions without direct authorization from President Biden himself,” Gonzales says.
“And now that they’ve found all of this out through their report, they consider that any action that was signed with autopen is null and void if it is discovered that Joe Biden did not know about it, which, of course, is the right call,” she continues.
While hundreds of actions were signed with autopen, the question remains as to which ones he knew about.
“I mean, we had all of these pardons, all of these pre-emptive pardons on the way out the door in the 11th hour. … President Autopen was like, ‘Just to be sure, I’m going to sign pardons for all of my family and for Dr. Fauci and Mark Milley and the January 6th fake committee members, Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, Adam Kinzinger, Jamie Raskin,’” Gonzales mocks.
BlazeTV contributor Breanna Morello points out that the “first big red flag” regarding the autopen scandal was Joe Biden allegedly giving “clemency to a convicted pedophile” who had “thousands of child pornographic images on his devices” and was a “Chinese national.”
“And then the media covered for it. They didn’t actually cover that story … I think I was the only reporter talking about it initially, and then everyone else caught wind of it afterwards,” Morello says.
“So it’s not surprising. I couldn’t imagine why any president would have wanted their legacy to be freeing a convicted pedophile with over 42,000 child pornographic images on their devices. … And the fact that he pardoned the whole J6 committee when they pretend everything was legitimate tells you everything you need to know about all this,” she adds.

Democratic state senator allegedly secretly recorded 2 critics having sex in order to silence them
A Maryland state senator is denying allegations that she threatened to release highly compromising video of a former political consultant to keep her from making public comments about the senator.
Democratic state Sen. Dalya Attar was indicted on charges related to the alleged extortion plot that included her brother Joseph Attar as well as a Baltimore police officer named Kalman Finkelstein.
‘Stay out of this election, the delegate election, and make sure she doesn’t do anything against Dalya throughout this election … or I’ll share this video with everybody you know.’
The three defendants are accused of hiding audio and video recording equipment in the apartment of the consultant in order to gather evidence of her sexual relationship with a married man in 2022. Finkelstein’s family owned the apartment where the woman was living.
They then allegedly threatened to release the recorded evidence unless the two agreed to refrain from making negative statements about Dalya Attar in public. Attar was running for state House delegate at the time.
Prosecutors said that Joseph Attar said to the married man via messages on WhatsApp, “I have hours of footage of you in bed with (Victim 1). Here’s what I need you to do for this to go away permanently.”
Both Dalya Attar and the consultant are members of the Orthodox Jewish community.
“The only thing you need to do is very simple, is to go to (Victim 1) and say to her, ‘Listen, leave Dalya alone. Don’t bring her up anymore to anyone,'” Joseph Attar is accused of saying. “Stay out of this election, the delegate election, and make sure she doesn’t do anything against Dalya throughout this election … or I’ll share this video with everybody you know, everyone she knows, every rabbi in town, your kids, your wife, her daughters.”

Dalya Attar released a statement denying the allegations.
“I ran for public office because of my strong belief in serving my community that I love, and I would never do anything to knowingly jeopardize my constituents’ trust in me,” she said.
“The case centers on the allegations of my former disgruntled employee. We have yet to see any tangible evidence to support the claim that I knew of any illegal actions taken on my behalf,” Dalya Attar added. “I look forward to sharing my side of the story, and believe the truth will be the arbiter of justice.”
Dalya Attar was indicted on eight counts, including conspiracy, extortion via interstate communications, aiding and abetting, and interception and disclosure of a wire.

Finkelstein has been suspended since 2022, according to Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley.
“He has not had police powers since 2022,” Worley added. “We’re going to cooperate completely with the indictment.”
Dalya Attar represents Baltimore City and was appointed to fill a vacancy in the state Senate in January.

UPenn email account hacked, sends vulgar message to students and alumni
Students and alumni of the University of Pennsylvania were surprised to receive a vulgar email from the university’s account after it was hacked Friday.
The university confirmed that the email came from a security breach and that its incident response team was investigating the incident.
‘This is obviously a fake, and nothing in the highly offensive, hurtful message reflects the mission or actions of Penn or of Penn GSE.’
“The University of Pennsylvania is a dogs**t elitist institution full of woke retards. We have terrible security practices and are completely unmeritocratic,” reads the hacked email, which was posted to social media.
“We hire and admit morons because we love legacies, donors, and unqualified affirmative action admits. We love breaking federal laws like FERPA (all your data will be leaked) and Supreme Court rulings like SFFA,” the email continues. “Please stop giving us money.”
The subject heading reads, “We got hacked (Action Required).”
The hackers referred to the Supreme Court decision in favor of the Students for Fair Admissions in 2023 that forbid race-based affirmative action in admissions to colleges. They also accused the college of violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects students’ school records data.
A university spokesperson released a statement decrying the email.
“A fraudulent email has been circulated that appears to come from the University of Pennsylvania’s Graduate School of Education,” the statement reads. “This is obviously a fake, and nothing in the highly offensive, hurtful message reflects the mission or actions of Penn or of Penn GSE.”

Top Michigan Dems Headline Fundraiser for Arab-American PAC Whose Leader Wants Jews Sent ‘Back to Poland’
Democratic candidates in Michigan who reject American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) donations over the Israel-Hamas war spoke at a fundraiser this week for an Arab-American PAC whose leader praises Hamas and called for Israeli Jews to be sent “back to Poland.”

Horror show: ‘The View’ too scary for conservatives, boasts Behar
Talk about a booby prize.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) recently declared war on the GOP on several fronts, and instead of a trophy or plaque, she’ll get the honor of matching wits with those doyennes of derangement on “The View” next week.
The ever-present smile. The blazing hypocrisy. The fact that ‘Escape from New York’ is getting an all-too real sequel starting ASAP.
Apparently, Taylor Greene’s recent ideological about-face makes her the perfect conservative foil on a show that tends to veer — if not careen — left.
Co-host Joy Behar recently griped that the show can’t book right-leaning guests because, “They’re scared of us.”
Sure, Joy. Just like I’m “scared” of the 8-year-old Minecraft zombies who’ll be knocking on my door for Kit-Kats tonight.
Here’s a trick to make “The View” more compelling — stop treating guests who don’t agree with you like fun-size Snickers bars. It’s OK to have more than one.
Pretty payday
Julia Roberts is a genius. Or at least, her agent is.
The Oscar winner isn’t as active in Hollywood as in her box office heyday, but she still convinced a movie studio to pay her $20 million for her to star in “After the Hunt.”
The Me Too-themed drama cast Roberts as a professor torn between a trusted colleague (Andrew Garfield) and a bright student (Ayo Edebiri), who claims said colleague sexually assaulted her.
The film has made just $9 million worldwide and is already fading after two weeks of release. The budget? A reported $80 million, including that hefty price tag for the erstwhile “Pretty Woman.”
Paying 1995 rates in 2025 — when even the most beloved Oscar-winner can’t guarantee butts in seats? Well, Hollywood is the land of make-believe.
Billion-dollar baby
You first, Billie.
Androgynous crooner Billie Eilish is taking a bold stand against billionaires. The “Bad Guy” singer addressed a room full of rich, powerful people to accept an “innovator” award from the Wall Street Journal Magazine. Said room included mega billionaire Mark Zuckerberg, apparently.
She used the moment to lecture the ultra rich.
“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here that have a lot more money than me. … If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire? No hate, but yeah, give your money away, shorties.”
Set aside the economic ignorance, the body shaming, and the fact that she’s a millionaire many times over. She just cut a gargantuan check to help defeat, check notes, “climate justice.” Why not just go full Joker and set a mountain of cash on fire? At least she could write a song about it …

Don’t mess with the Zohran
There’s nothing funny about the rise of Zohran Mamdani.
The future New York City mayor is a terror apologist, an anti-Israel zealot, and an economic illiterate. There’s more, but you get the picture. Still, political satirists should have a field day with Mamdani on so many levels.
The ever-present smile. The blazing hypocrisy. The fact that “Escape from New York” is getting an all-too real sequel starting ASAP.
Instead, comedians are standing down. Anyone shocked? A new study by Newsbusters shows that late-night comics are targeting everyone else in the crowded New York mayoral race save Mamdani.
“Only three out of 63 jokes were about the socialist front-runner,” the site tallied. And that doesn’t count comedian turned shill Jon Stewart comparing Mamdani to Jackie Robinson …
Kim K’s moonshot
Reality stars say the darndest things.
It’s easy to poke fun at Kim Kardashian for her choice in suitors. That Kanye West pairing didn’t end well, did it?
Still, Ms. Kim is a savvy business person who transformed a sordid sex tape into a reality show empire. Just don’t ask her to teach a history class anytime soon.
Kardashian is co-starring with actress Sarah Paulson on the TV show “All’s Fair,” and apparently the two are quite chatty behind the scenes. Kardashian loves sharing her conspiracy theories with her co-star, including her belief that America never landed on the moon.
She pointed to a clip of Buzz Aldrin mishearing a question as part of her “proof.” In her defense, maybe she’s trying to recruit Candace Owens to her next reality show gig …
‘Fack’ all
Comedy is truly on the comeback trail.
The woke mind virus is fading. Roasts are back in vogue. The recent “Naked Gun” reboot was funnier than anyone expected. Now, a new trailer for a “Downton Abbey” spoof looks like the year’s brightest surprise.
“Fackham Hall,” hitting theaters December 5, packs more laughs in its two-minute running time than some mainstream comedies. The physical shtick is priceless, and the oh, so stuffy “Downton Abbey” vibe begs for a good satirical swatting.
At this rate, even Jimmy Kimmel might make us laugh before 2025 ends.
Don Lemon comes out as transphobic; says Megyn Kelly is ‘clockable’ as ‘trans’
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon’s new “Clip Farmers” podcast is off to a rocky start after he and his co-hosts were discussing the appearance of “MAGA women” — and Lemon took it a step too far.
As his Gen Z co-hosts were saying all MAGA women look the same, they also asked Lemon if Megyn Kelly was “chopped,” which they explain as meaning “not hot.”
“Yeah, she’s chopped,” Lemon replied, before adding, “I think she looks trans.”
“Let’s end on that note,” one of his co-hosts said in between nervous laughs.
But he couldn’t end it fast enough before Lemon added, “Looks clockable,” which means he thinks Kelly is not convincing as a woman — and thus would be easy to identify as transgender.
He went on to call her too skinny and said she wears too much makeup.
Now Lemon is in trouble with his base, as being “transphobic” is a direct assault on leftist values — and he used “trans” in a derogatory way despite speaking out numerous times about “transphobia.”
“So it’s OK for Don Lemon to use the word ‘trans’ as a derogatory statement about a woman? Oh, that’s interesting. I thought that was a lovely thing to be trans,” executive producer of “Pat Gray Unleashed” Keith Malinak says.
“This woman looks trans?” Pat Gray chimes in, shocked. “In what universe?”
