 You know, Germany, look, they put themselves into a position in Adolf Hitler’s chiefly responsible for this, but his whole regime is responsible for it, that when they went into the east in 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners, and so forth that they were going to have to handle. They went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps. And millions of people ended up dead there. You know, you have, you have like letters as early as July, August 1941 from commandants of these makeshift camps that they’re setting up for these millions of people who were surrendering or people they’re rounding up and they’re- so it’s two months after, a month or two after Barbarossa was launched, and they’re writing back to the high command in Berlin saying, “We can’t feed these people, we don’t have the food to feed these people.” And one of them actually says ‘Rather than wait for them all to slowly starve this winter, wouldn’t it be more humane to just finish them off quickly now?”

BELOW - Italics are mine, James Pitcherella:

“Nick Fuentes, a 27-year-old white nationalist livestreamer, routinely uses his platform to deny the Holocaust, praise Adolf Hitler, denigrate women as “baby machines,” and make wildly racist statements.

Fuentes’ abhorrent views have propelled him to far-right celebrity status, and he presides over a movement of “groypers”—young, highly online incels, neo-Nazis, and racist shitposters who follow him. Over the years, about his ultimate goal: dragging mainstream conservatism into the bowels of the far right, to a place where all Republicans feel that they can throw up a Hitler salute or drop the N-word without consequence. And this week, Fuentes edged ever closer to that goal.

He did so thanks to Tucker Carlson, who had Fuentes as a guest on his show. The segment included Fuentes—without challenge from Carlson—opining on “the Jews,” who he called “unassimilable,” and rolling critiques of Israel into antisemitic conspiracies. The interview racked up nearly 5 million views on YouTube.

It has also divided the right. Some conservative commentators criticized Carlson for hosting Fuentes, noting that he was a longtime adversary of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the founder of conservative youth movement Turning Point USA who was assassinated in September. Commentator Dinesh D’Souza surfaced old texts in which the late Kirk Fuentes as “vermin” and said debating him was a “massive mistake.” Other critics included far-right activist Laura Loomer, who is Jewish and who has feuded with both Carlson and Fuentes in recent months. Sen. Ted Cruz, without mentioning Carlson by name, that it was a “cowardly and complicit” decision to platform “someone who says Adolf Hitler was very, very cool.”

Others defended Carlson’s decision to platform Fuentes, mainly on free speech grounds.  Overall, the divided response to the Fuentes interview somewhat after the racism and antisemitism in young Republican leaders’ group chats.

But the biggest green light Fuentes received following the Carlson interview came from the Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank that was founded in 1973 and has been enormously influential over American conservatism and the Trump administration. Its positions are considered bellwethers for the broader conservative movement.

In a on Thursday, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts dispelled rumors that they were preparing to distance themselves from Carlson for hosting Fuentes. “The Heritage Foundation did not become the intellectual backbone of the conservative movement by canceling our own people or policing the consciences of Christians, and we won’t start doing that now,” said Roberts. “I disagree with or even abhor things that Nick Fuentes says, but canceling him isn’t the answer either.” Roberts said critics of Carlson were part of a “venomous coalition.”

The right, including Roberts and the Heritage Foundation, might not love Fuentes and the groyper movement. But the events of this week suggest that Fuentes, once a pariah, is now being brought into the big tent of Republican politics. There are no limits on how far right you can go, so long as you’re willing to join the fight against the center and left.

This is the culmination of a yearslong effort by Fuentes and the groypers to build power and influence in mainstream politics…

Fuentes has proved enormously resilient over the years, . He has grown his audience, despite deplatforming and demonetization. After he was exposed as a participant in the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Fuentes distanced himself from the swastika-waving contingent of the far right and pursued a new optics-friendly suit-and-tie aesthetic that he hoped would appeal more to disaffected young conservative men.

Fuentes tried to pitch himself and his band of racist followers, who became known as groypers, as the authentic voice for young conservatives—and went to war against Kirk’s college organization Turning Point USA, who were, comparatively speaking, more politically moderate. Fuentes cast TPUSA as a RINO organization—Republican in Name Only—that was overly beholden to cancel culture, and urged his supporters to harass, dox, and troll Kirk and his members. These became known as the “groyper wars.”Fuentes also saw victory in some of the questions that Vice President J.D. Vance fielded at a TPUSA event this week, including questions like “Is Trump controlled by Israel?” and “Why did you marry a Hindu?”

“The Groypers have taken over,” Fuentes wrote on X. “We run this.”

The Heritage Foundation Frantically Reassures Supporters That Being a Neo-Nazi Won’t Get You Canceled

Tucker Carlson gave a softball interview to Nick Fuentes, an open white nationalist and Holocaust denier.

“In exchange for Trump’s support, Vance shed the identity of the man who once defended immigrants and Muslims and became a sycophant—much like Mike Pence before him. But unlike Pence, Vance wasn’t going to be submissive. Instead of Trump’s lapdog, he set out to become his attack dog.

His rise accelerated after a sniper killed right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk on September 10. Vance encouraged people to expose and ruin anyone who celebrated Kirk’s death: “Call them out. And hell, call their employers.” He then flew on Air Force Two to retrieve Kirk’s body from Utah and bring it to Arizona, speaking at his memorial and portraying Kirk as a Christian martyr. “Believers gain eternal life, while unbelievers eternal damnation… born twice, die once. Born once, die twice,” he proclaimed.

More recently, Vance traveled to Israel to support a Trump-backed peace deal after the 2023 Hamas massacre. When the Knesset passed a symbolic bill calling for annexation of the West Bank—an idea opposed by the U.S.—Vance called it a “very stupid political stunt” and said he was “personally insulted.”

At the same time, he defended young Republicans who’d been exposed for racist, anti-Semitic, and violent comments in a private group chat. They were just “kids” making “stupid jokes,” he said—echoing Trump’s “very fine people” defense of neo-Nazis in Charlottesville. These “kids” were 25 to 34 years old, and politicians from both parties condemned them. But Vance saw an opportunity to flex Trump-style.

He then attacked New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after Mamdani shared how his Muslim aunt had feared Islamophobia after 9/11. Vance mocked him: “According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks.” It was a distortion—but one crafted to score points against both socialism and Islam.

Vance also lied—another Trump tactic—about the government shutdown. He claimed Democrats wanted to spend “hundreds of billions of dollars on health care benefits to illegal aliens.” In reality, undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for those benefits. Democrats were trying to maintain subsidies for citizens using the ACA. Without them, premiums could jump 30 percent—harming the working-class voters Vance once claimed to champion.

Learning from Pence’s mistakes, Vance is snarling, not kneeling, as he positions himself to succeed Trump in 2028. Early polling suggests it’s working—but the race is wide open. In a recent YouGov poll testing ten potential successors, he topped the list, but right behind him was someone he should worry about: Donald Trump Jr. The actual heir.”

NAZI UNIFORMED GREG BOVINO, HOMELAND SECURITY LEADER OF TRUMP’S FEDERAL AGENCY TO CONTROL THE USA USING VIOLENCE, IS THE AMERICAN HEYDRICH.

"Earlier on 31 July 1941, Hermann Göring gave written authorisation to Heydrich to ensure the co-operation of administrative leaders of various government departments in the implementation of a "final solution to the Jewish question" in territories under German control.^[130] On 20 January 1942, Heydrich chaired a meeting, now called the Wannsee Conference, to discuss the implementation of the plan.^{[131][132]”"}

“Trump wants to use Homeland Security as the state apparatus to impose his rule on this country. U.S. Border Patrol official Greg Bovino is helping him do it.” 

“Ken Harbaugh shares footage of ICE agents turning a children’s Halloween parade into a scene of terror—emboldened by leaders whose message to Americans is, “Don’t protest.” With Kris Goldsmith, he breaks down how DHS’s new recruiting campaign is built to attract and arm the worst of the worst—and unleash them in our communities.”

 

"Jeffrey Epstein... was "a political “fixer” who arranged access to senior Russian political figures with the goal of advancing Israeli national security interests, often in direct contradiction to the United States’ national security strategy."

Jeffrey Epstein facilitated efforts to open a backchannel between Israel and the Kremlin during the Syrian civil war, according to leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

The trove of emails, exchanged at the height of the Syrian civil war between 2013 and 2016, reveal Epstein’s successful efforts to secure a private meeting between Barak and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a Russian-brokered end to the conflict, including winning Russian support for a negotiated removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Epstein was an invaluable resource for Israel’s former prime minister, who also served as head of intelligence and defense minister throughout his career, sharing whispers from within Russian elite circles and intel on Putin’s interlocutors in Europe and the U.S—and even advising him on how to engage with the Mossad. Barak, fresh out of his role as Israeli defense minister, built a deep portfolio of investments and business relationships around the world with Epstein’s help...

Epstein was not merely a fixer for Barak, but also a friend and advisor, who collaborated with him at high-levels to promote Israeli security interests. The correspondence between Barak and Epstein, as well as publicly released information about Epstein’s travel and activities during this period, point to a significant degree of collaboration between the two men, involving numerous governments in negotiations intended to serve Israeli security interests. In a note sent by Barak to Epstein after the St. Petersburg forum in 2015, he rattled off a long list of heads of state, senior officials, and business magnates he had met, reporting “great meetings” with all.

Around the same time, Epstein was known to have conducted meetings with several Obama administration officials, including former U.S. ambassador to Russia, and later CIA chief William Burns, as well as Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler. While shedding light on his efforts with Barak to secure Israeli interests in Syria, the emails leave open the question of other interactions that Epstein may have engaged in with U.S. and other government officials.

A mid-air collision could lead Congressional Republicans to open government. AND lead to the publication of Epstein/Trump Files. Wealthy alleged pedophiles could be indicted. The impeachment & removal of Trump in 2025 would become inevitable.

“Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones.” - U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. 

Because of Trump’s extreme efforts to hide the Epstein Files, it’s becoming clear that Trump may be deeply involved in the human trafficking of little girls for sex. I believe that the Republican Party financiers need to make a decision. Abandon Trump or abandon the Republican Party. - James Pitcherella

However, it looks like potentially armed helicopters will fly over No King's Day protestors. 

 

BREAKING: Republican Governors Mobilize and Deploy National Guard Ahead of No Kings Day

​

Republican Governors across the country mobilize and deploy National Guard for No Kings Day, AG Kris Mayes says she is suing Mike Johnson for not swearing in Grijalva, and much more.

Aaron Parnas20 hrs ago

Good morning, everyone. This morning I’m tracking major developments as Republican governors across the country, from Virginia to Texas, prepare to deploy the National Guard and military aerial assets ahead of the No Kings Day protests in their states.

If you plan on taking part tomorrow, please remember to remain peaceful. The first No Kings Day demonstrations were almost entirely peaceful, and this one must be no different. 

Tomorrow, I will be in Washington, D.C. with full press access to cover one of the largest protests. If you will be there, come find me; I would love to meet you in person. Some have warned me not to go, saying I could be targeted or made an example of. But I refuse to be intimidated. The truth matters too much to stay silent.

If you believe in this work, in fearless reporting and standing up to power, subscribe today. Even in the face of threats, we will not back down.

With that, here’s what you missed:

• Republican Governors across the country are calling up and mobilizing the National Guard in their states ahead of tomorrow’s No Kings Day protests, which are now set to be the largest protests in American history. 

• Governor Glenn Youngkin has mobilized the Virginia National Guard ahead of the nationwide No Kings protests against President Trump’s policies, coordinating with organizers and law enforcement to maintain safety amid over 60 planned demonstrations across Virginia. The first No Kings Day Protest was completely peaceful in Virginia. 

• Governor Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of Texas National Guard troops and state troopers to Austin ahead the No Kings Day protest, falsely claiming that they were “antifa linked”, drawing criticism from Democrats who accused him of using militarized tactics to intimidate peaceful demonstrators exercising their First Amendment rights.

• Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has issued an ultimatum to U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson: either swear in Adelita Grijalva—or face litigation—arguing that the 813,000 residents of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District are being taxed without representation. She has said time is up: “Time is up. I gave him two days, and he continues to refuse to swear her in. And Arizona’s seventh congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting the litigation.”

  
  
  
  

• As the U.S. government shutdown entered its third week, lawmakers and President Trump continued social events — including a senator’s dog’s birthday party and a lavish White House dinner — highlighting a stark contrast between Washington’s elite and unpaid federal workers struggling through the crisis.

• Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) said an American flag in his Capitol Hill office that featured a swastika was part of a coordinated hoax targeting multiple GOP offices with altered flags; the image went viral, prompting a Capitol Police review, as Taylor condemned the symbol and claimed neither he nor his staff knowingly displayed it. Other officials called it an “optical illusion.” I think it’s pretty clear:

The Trump administration is moving to reopen Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for full-scale oil and gas drilling, reinstating previously canceled leases and allowing development across its entire 1.56-million-acre coastal plain — a reversal of Biden-era limits that environmental groups call a threat to polar bears, caribou, and Indigenous lands, while Alaska officials hail it as an economic boon.

• President Trump’s targeting of billionaire philanthropist George Soros and his Open Society Foundations has sparked alarm among progressive nonprofits, which accuse the administration of using government power to intimidate civil society groups working on democracy, climate, and Palestinian rights — vowing instead to “lock arms” and resist what they call authoritarian repression.

• Democrats are weighing mid-decade redistricting in Maryland and Illinois to counter Republican-led map redraws in states like Texas and Missouri, as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pushes Democratic governors to respond to the GOP’s Trump-backed effort to expand its narrow House majority before the 2026 elections.

• Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton surrendered to federal authorities after being indicted on multiple counts of mishandling and transmitting classified national defense information, charges he calls politically motivated retaliation orchestrated by Donald Trump.

• The Trump administration is weighing a sweeping overhaul of the U.S. refugee system that would drastically cut admissions and prioritize white, English-speaking applicants — particularly Europeans and white South Africans — marking a sharp shift from aiding the world’s most vulnerable toward favoring those aligned with the president’s anti-immigration ideology.

• Immigration agents arrested Hanover Park police officer Radule Bojovic, alleging he overstayed a tourist visa, though local officials insist federal records confirmed he was legally authorized to work when hired; his detention comes amid Trump’s “Operation Midway Blitz” deportation campaign, which has swept up over 1,500 people in Illinois since September.

• Twenty-three Democratic-led states, including California and Arizona, have sued the Trump administration for canceling the $7 billion EPA Solar for All program, which funded solar energy for low-income communities; state attorneys general argue the rollback will raise energy costs, harm tribal and disadvantaged areas, and illegally divert congressionally approved climate funds.

• Car repossessions in the U.S. have surged to their highest level since 2009 as rising defaults on auto loans signal growing financial strain on households; the bankruptcies of subprime lender Tricolor and supplier First Brands have alarmed Wall Street, with economists warning the stressed car-lending market could foreshadow wider economic trouble.

• Israel and Hamas exchanged accusations over the handling of hostages’ and prisoners’ bodies—Israel alleging Hamas is withholding remains, and Hamas claiming Israel returned tortured bodies—raising tensions and threatening the fragile Gaza ceasefire.

• Humanitarian agencies warned that aid to Gaza remains critically insufficient a week into the ceasefire, with Israel delaying convoys and only about half of intended trucks entering, as famine, disease, and blocked crossings persist amid renewed Israeli-Hamas tensions over truce violations.

• Col. Michael Randrianirina, who led a military coup after weeks of youth-led protests, was sworn in as Madagascar’s new president, prompting UN condemnation, the country’s suspension from the African Union, and uncertainty over a promised transition to elections within two years.

• Peruvian President José Jerí refused to resign after Gen Z–led protests over corruption, inequality, and crime left one protester dead and about 100 injured, as demonstrators accused his government of repression and corruption amid a global wave of youth-driven unrest.

• Susan Stamberg, trailblazing NPR journalist and the first woman to host a national news program, died at 87; a “founding mother” of NPR, she helped shape modern public radio with her conversational style and decades of influential reporting and interviews.

Good news:

• A pet tortoise named Mr. T was safely rescued by railway staff in Oxfordshire after wandering onto the train tracks at Bicester North Station; alerted passengers helped save the unharmed reptile, who was later reunited with his owner after enjoying lettuce and water from Chiltern Railways staff.

  

  
  
  

• When a Wichita taco shop’s payment system crashed, a kind stranger named Jared paid $100 to cover another family’s meal and even tipped the staff — earning him the title of “Wichita Taco Hero” and a year of free tacos, after his generous act went viral and inspired locals with his pay-it-forward spirit.

• Researchers in China have developed a biodegradable plastic made from bamboo cellulose that is stronger than conventional plastic, recyclable, and fully breaks down in soil within 50 days — a breakthrough that could replace rigid petroleum-based plastics and significantly reduce environmental waste.

See you this evening.

Oct 16, 2025  The Warning with Steve Schmidt

While Trump has claimed it's anti-American, the No Kings protests happening across America are necessary to fight for our democracy. Steve Schmidt sits down with Indivisible founder Ezra Levin to discuss the largest peaceful protest in modern American history

“Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office is weighing whether to close parts of Interstate 5 beginning Friday amid concerns over what it says is a White House-directed plan to use live ordnance during a military anniversary celebration off Camp Pendleton’s coast in San Diego County — where Navy ships are expected to fire over the freeway onto the base.

Newsom’s office has received, but not confirmed, reports that live ordnance will be fired from offshore vessels during the event commemorating the Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary. The event is titled “Sea to Shore — A Review of Amphibious Strength” and will feature Vice President JD Vance.

Newsom’s office said it has received little information about the event or safety plans. The military show of force coincides with No Kings rallies and marches across the state on Saturday that are expected to draw large crowds, demonstrations challenging Trump and what critics say is government overreach.

“Donald Trump and JD Vance think that shutting down the I-5 to shoot out missiles from ships is how you respect the military,” Newsom posted on the social media site X Wednesday.”

U.S. Navy bombardment and U.S. Army invasion of New York City 5 points scene from “Gangs of New York”:

“Troops and ships were deployed, artillery was fired, but I haven't been able to find a credible source that confirms a naval bombardment of the city. It seems to be possible, but far from certain, and it probably didn't happen.”

“The New York Draft riots of 1863 close The Gangs of New York both in terms of time and content. The most extraordinary element of this sequence is the (apparently) indiscriminate shelling of the Five Points neighborhood by the Navy. The fact that the "native" government is destroying the old order is clearly a major factor in the meaning of the film.

Is there any historical evidence for anything near this level of indiscriminate destruction? If not, are there interviews/articles in which the filmmakers describe their decision to include it?”
