Mamdani’s false Tolerance Boulevard ends in darkness
Everybody knows the real victims of 9/11 weren’t the 3,000 murdered Americans or their grieving families. No, according to the new progressive hierarchy, it’s Zohran Mamdani’s second cousin — thrice removed, four times hijabed — who claims she was once offended on the subway. Allegedly.
So if you’re keeping score at home in the “words are violence” sweepstakes, here’s the latest update: Something that probably never happened is righteous if it helps an Islamic socialist become mayor of America’s largest city. Meanwhile, Virginia’s Democratic candidate for attorney general gets a pass for fantasizing about the murder of a Republican lawmaker and his family.
Nothing new under the sun. Just another civilization sprinting toward its chosen darkness, proud all the way.
You’d think New Yorkers might have enough self-respect not to be played so easily — especially when it comes to one of the most fateful days in American history. But no. Apparently Loki was right. They were made to be ruled — and by the very people who treat the ashes of Ground Zero as a holiday display.
I’d wager real money that at least one family member of a 9/11 victim will vote for Mamdani next week. Loki, it seems, must have read John Calvin at some point in his multiverse journey: When God wants to punish a rebellious people, He gives them wicked rulers.
The worldview beneath the wreckage
We can’t outrun our worldview. Because worldview is destiny. When a people deny reality, they descend into madness. That’s what’s happening to those voting for Mamdani. They are largely godless, and once you reject the author of reality, you’re on a short, steep slide toward hell.
Hell, for its part, knows how to work with human nature. The devil discovered long ago that our fallen desire to shake a fist at God rivals even his own. That’s how you get from watching the Twin Towers fall to, just 25 years later, electing a man who shares the same ideology as one of the hijackers.
Not secretly. Not reluctantly. These voters are proud of it. They’ll call friends and family “racists” and “Nazis” for disagreeing. Such is the will to power when you reject God: The world must be turned upside down and morality twisted into a hall of mirrors.
When even Ayn Rand saw the abyss
Ayn Rand, no friend of Christianity, at least saw the problem. In an interview late in life, she told Phil Donahue that without some objective truth in the universe, nothing else made sense. Why do we reason instead of acting on instinct like animals? Rand recognized, however dimly, that a world without truth collapses into nihilism.
But that clarity is rare. Rand was a unicorn. Most people in her camp never do the math. They end up voting for their captors, praising their murderers, and calling it freedom.
The short version is simple: If you’re not in Christ’s camp, you belong to chaos. There are no neutral parties. Hell is happy to let you think otherwise — right up to the moment the darkness slams the door shut.
The believer’s tension — and the city’s choice
Every true believer wrestles with the tension between judgment and mercy. We are commanded to love God with our whole heart, mind, and strength — and to love our neighbor as ourselves. You can’t be “nicer than God,” but you must strive to let mercy triumph over judgment whenever you can.

New York doesn’t care. The city long ago chose the darkness, which knows no such tension. Evil allows the illusion of tolerance until the moment comes to plant its flag.
By all means, take one more stroll down Tolerance Boulevard, Big Apple, and see where it ends. You’ll find it’s a one-way street to annihilation.
The math checks out
New York has made its peace with godlessness. First it worshiped the idol of corporate power. Then it voted for Sandinista Bill de Blasio’s Marxism. Now it’s ready to give the false god of Islam a chance to shatter its soul completely. The math checks out every time.
Nothing new under the sun. Just another civilization sprinting toward its chosen darkness, proud all the way.
God help us all.
DeSantis demands end to ‘cheap’ H-1B labor at Florida universities: ‘Why do we need to bring someone from China?’
Public universities in Florida may soon have to hire more Americans, thanks to a decision from Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
In an announcement on October 29, DeSantis directed the Florida Board of Governors to “pull the plug” on the use of H-1B visas for faculty and staff at Florida state universities.
‘Why do we need to bring someone from China to talk about public policy?’
In explaining the decision, DeSantis criticized companies for prioritizing visa-holders over American workers: “These tech companies will fire Americans and hire H-1B at a discount. … This is basically, in some respects, cheap labor that they’re bringing in to try to save money.”
The governor said these practices hurt American workers, who should be first in line at American universities.
DeSantis said his administration has discovered many examples of unnecessary H-1B hires in the university system. “You got a computer application professor from China, public policy professor, China. Why do we need to bring someone from China to talk about public policy?” DeSantis asked.
He went on to list more examples, citing them as proof of the threat that H-1B visas pose to American workers, particularly when visa workers can be paid significantly less.

To address the issue, DeSantis announced, “I am directing the Florida Board of Governors to pull the plug on the use of these H-1B visas in our universities.” He went on to say that staff and faculty jobs can be filled “with our residents in Florida or with Americans.” The Florida Board of Governors oversees the state’s 12 public universities.
The H-1B visa program has recently become a hotbed issue. On September 19, President Trump signed a proclamation requiring companies to pay a $100,000 fee for new H-1B hires. In August, the Young Republicans of Texas announced they would endorse only national candidates who oppose the H-1B program.

New York’s Soft-On-Crime Laws Mean No Consequences For Serious Murder Threats
This sickness is the direct result of Democrats’ war on law and order, and it’s not a byproduct; it’s the goal.
Mississippi marked safe from disease-ridden monkey escapees
Disaster nearly struck eastern Mississippi on Tuesday, Oct. 28, when a truck hauling lab monkeys from Tulane University crashed, with several of the animals fleeing the vehicle.
While all but one of the escaped monkeys were “destroyed” — according to the Jasper County Sheriff’s Department — the monkeys were “aggressive to humans” and potentially carried “hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID-19.”
However, Tulane University has now set people’s minds at ease and claimed that the escaped primates would not be the cause of the next pandemic.
“Non-human primates at the Tulane National Biomedical Research Center are provided to other research organizations to advance scientific discovery,” Tulane University said in a statement. “The primates in question belong to another entity and are not infectious. We are actively collaborating with local authorities and will send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed.”
“I wasn’t aware that they transported monkeys this way,” BlazeTV co-host 1/4 Black Garrett says on “Normal World,” adding, “let alone with herpes and COVID.”
“Here’s what I love, though,” BlazeTV host Dave Landau chimes in. “They say ‘potentially diseased’ even though they have the three diseases and they’re coming from New Orleans.”
“You have, like, herpes, hepatitis C, and COVID-19. They always try to jam it in there like it’s just as bad. It sounds like you’re trying to tell a girl what you have,” Landau laughs. “You’re like, ‘Look, you might want to get tested for hep C. You know, maybe some herpes and, you know, COVID-19.’”

3 people allegedly paid hit man to shoot and kill witness in child sex assault case, then killed the hit man
A shocking murder-for-hire plot in Missouri has led to the arrest of three people who were trying to cover up the sex assault of a 15-year-old girl, prosecutors say.
Kcoree Warren was shot and killed at his home on July 8 to keep him from testifying at trial against a man accused of having sex with the girl on March 21.
Klaus himself was killed on the same day, and prosecutors said the white Kia that was seen driving away was destroyed in a fire.
Police said a man named Lavor Harmon met the girl as she was walking home from a school bus and exchanged phone numbers with her. He picked her up later to go shopping and then allegedly had sex with the minor girl at his home.
Warren reported the alleged crime to police, and Harmon was charged on May 19.
About 10 days later, Harmon’s sister Lavonda Harmon went to Warren’s home with another man and offered him $12,000 to keep quiet about the crime. He declined.
Warren was then shot and killed later by Andrew Klaus.
Klaus himself was killed on the same day, and prosecutors said the white Kia that was seen driving away was destroyed in a fire.
Prosecutors say that Harmon was present when Klaus was killed, along with his uncle Anthony L. Young and that man’s son, Anthony D. Young.
Police say they know the identity of the man who went with Lavonda Harmon to offer the bribe, but they have not released that information, and he has not been charged.
Lavor Harmon is being held on a $2 million bond, while both Anthony L.Young and Anthony D. Young have bonds for $2 million on unrelated federal charges.

Trump declares victory on ‘climate change hoax’ after Bill Gates issues concession memo
President Donald Trump said opponents of the “climate change hoax” had won the struggle after Bill Gates said supporters should pivot their efforts.
Gates has been a longtime proponent of policies to fight climate change, but on Monday he took a far more moderate tone that accepted the survivability of slightly higher global temperatures.
‘Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue.’
“I (WE!) just won the War on the Climate Change Hoax,” the president wrote on his Truth Social account.
“Bill Gates has finally admitted that he was completely WRONG on the issue,” he added. “It took courage to do so, and for that we are all grateful. MAGA!!!”
Gates issued the announcement in a memo titled, “Three tough truths about climate.”
He described the previous view on climate change as the following: “In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us — just look at all the heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise in temperature.”
He added: “Fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong.”
Gates opined that governments may have to “invest in cooling centers and better early warning systems for extreme heat and weather events,” and added that people “will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future.”

Gates went on to say that the world’s efforts are better spent trying to reduce poverty and disease.
“The doomsday outlook is causing much of the climate community to focus too much on near-term emissions goals, and it’s diverting resources from the most effective things we should be doing to improve life in a warming world,” he added.
The billionaire concluded, “The biggest problems are poverty and disease, just as they always have been.”

Allie Beth Stuckey delivers bold speech on Charlie Kirk’s “5 most controversial truths” at TPUSA LSU stop
On October 27, conservative firebrand and BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey, star of the hit Christian podcast “Relatable,” commanded the stage at Turning Point USA’s Baton Rouge, Louisiana, tour stop, where over 1,500 cheering college students packed the Raising Canes River Center Theatre to capacity.
Allie opened by encouraging the crowd with her favorite Charlie-ism — the phrase he used to encourage her with when the media tried to smear her: “Keep slugging.”
“I want you to think of that phrase every minute of every day. The only thing that you can do with the grace and the power of God is to keep slugging — first for the honor and the glory of Jesus Christ, but also in honor of Charlie Kirk,” she said as students stood to their feet and applauded.
She then launched into an inspiring speech titled “5 of Charlie Kirk’s Most Controversial Truths.”
Truth #1: Feminism has failed women
While the feminist movement claims to be pro-women and pro-equality, it’s actually worked to women’s detriment. Instead of making women equal to men, the feminist movement sought to make women the same as men.
“It has fed us this lie that in order to be respected, that we women have to talk like men, that we have to act like men, that we have to be like men,” Allie said.
But that required forsaking the very things that make us women — primarily being moms and wives, which the feminist industrial complex has demonized by pushing abortion, sexual liberation, and gender abolitionism.
Feminism has “left each and every one of its followers lonelier and more broken,” said Allie, who then reminded the women in the audience the truth about who they are.
“Your value, your worth comes from the God who created you. … You were made in God’s image, and your equal worth, your inherent worth, comes from that reality. It doesn’t come from feminism. … You can be strong, and you can be courageous, and you can be brilliant, and you can be hardworking, and you do not need to act like a man to do that.”
Truth #2: Porn has weakened men
Pornography, Allie candidly explained, doesn’t just harm men; it harms everyone and everything we ought to hold dear: women, children, marriage, and psychological and physical safety. Porn “objectifies women and children,” “commercializes sex,” “glorifies violence,” “creates addiction and shame,” “destroys marriages,” “ruins your perception of other people,” and has become “the legal loophole for sex trafficking,” she warned.
“Men, we need you, and we need your masculinity, and we need your strength, and we need your boldness, and we need your courage, and we need those things to be harnessed for good,” Allie pleaded.
“We need really strong men, and porn makes you weak.”
Truth #3: Merit always trumps DEI
The fear of oppression based on skin color, gender, or any other trait is a hardship Americans today don’t have to worry about.
“And so, we should not be doling out punishments or doling out rewards based on what people look like, based on their sex, based on how they identify. That is actually called partiality, and the Bible calls it a sin,” Allie declared.
The truth was, is, and will always be that nothing in life is “fair.”
“There are different circumstances surrounding our births, different economic situations, different kinds of parents, different kinds of springboards that we’re given, different kinds of setbacks, a different set of strengths, a different set of weaknesses, different kind of personality, different connections that we all make,” Allie said.
Man’s futile attempt to level the playing field in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion only creates more of the evils, like racism and sexism, it supposedly aims to eradicate.
Allie, echoing Charlie, clarified that “what matters across the board is excellence. What matters across the board is hard work. None of us is entitled to anything … so we should only reward that which someone works for through her own talents and efforts.”
Truth #4: America is a Christian nation
Leftists who are threatened by Judeo-Christian principles that challenge every progressive narrative often try to erase America’s deeply religious heritage. They pretend Enlightenment-based ideals, not Christian doctrine, are the bedrock of the nation’s foundation.
But that’s a lie.
While, yes, our founders passionately believed in free speech and expression — core Enlightenment ideas — these values didn’t contradict or eclipse their commitment to God.
“From the Declaration of Independence to all of our founding documents, all of the founders at the very least understood that it was the direction of providence, the Creator of the universe, the giver of all rights, that laid the foundation for this country, is the source of liberty, and the author of morality,” Allie said.
“America makes no sense without Christianity. America makes no sense without the recognition, as we read in the Declaration of Independence, that we were given certain unalienable rights … given to us by a Creator whose power transcends the government, and therefore, the government cannot arbitrarily take those rights away,” she declared. “That is the foundation on which our country is built.”
Truth #5: Jesus is the only way to Heaven
This particular truth — the central message of the gospel — is the one that got Charlie killed and the one that makes him a martyr, Allie said.
She then shared the good news of salvation through Jesus with those in the crowd who aren’t believers. “By grace through faith, if you believe in that gospel, you won’t die, but you’ll have eternal life,” she encouraged.
“Charlie was first an evangelist, he was first an apologist before he was a political activist or an organizer, and he shared that gospel. He died for that gospel because he believed it to be true. And he wanted you to know that it’s true. And I want you to know that it’s true.”
Allie ended with this powerful reminder: “One day Jesus is coming back, and there will be no more politics. There will be no more debate. There will be no more division.”
“But he’s not here yet, which means that in the meantime … we’ve got work to do. And that might look different for every single one of us, but let me tell you what I tell my audience all the time. … Do the next right thing in faith with excellence and for the glory of God.”
