Un posible desafío al líder demócrata de la Cámara de Representantes, Hakeem Jeffries, está sacudiendo al establishment demócrata de Nueva York y exponiendo profundas divisiones dentro del partido. Según Axios, el concejal neoyorquino Chi Ossé, un aliado cercano del candidato socialista a la alcaldía Zohran Mamdani, ha discutido en privado la posibilidad de lanzar una campaña primaria contra Jeffries.

“Ossé, quien apoyó a Mamdani en las primarias para la alcaldía y encabezó un mitin y esfuerzos de campaña por él, ha hablado en privado con grupos progresistas sobre la posibilidad de enfrentarse a Jeffries en las primarias demócratas del próximo año”, informó Axios, citando tres fuentes familiarizadas con las conversaciones. El medio agregó que tal movimiento “podría abrir una brecha aún mayor” entre Jeffries y Mamdani, quien se ha negado a suavizar su mensaje socialista incluso cuando se acercan las elecciones.

El informe señaló que “cualquier intento de Ossé por desbancar a Jeffries —uno de los demócratas más poderosos del país— probablemente profundizaría la división dentro del Partido Demócrata en torno a la edad y la ideología”. Esa división ya se ha ampliado tras la reciente victoria de Mamdani en las primarias, que dejó a algunos demócratas en “pánico y temor absolutos” ante la posibilidad de enfrentar desafíos de sus aliados.

Ossé negó tener planes de postularse y escribió a Axios: “Tendría que ser una situación muy grave para que siquiera considerara pasar el resto de mis veintes en Washington, D.C.”. Más tarde aclaró: “Solo para que quede claro, no me postularé al Congreso.”

Según los informes, el equipo de Jeffries “emitió una dura advertencia a sus posibles oponentes”, prometiendo “apuntar contra los socialistas demócratas en la legislatura estatal si intentan arrebatarle su escaño en el Congreso.”

El Congreso aprueba la prohibición de la ley Sharía.

El representante Chip Roy (R-TX) presentó recientemente un proyecto de ley que impide la entrada a Estados Unidos de personas que sigan la ley Sharía.

El proyecto, llamado Ley para Preservar una América Libre de la Sharía (Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act), enmienda la Ley de Inmigración y Nacionalidad para “prohibir la entrada de extranjeros que se adhieran a la ley Sharía y para otros fines”.

A quienes estén involucrados con la ley Sharía se les negará “cualquier beneficio migratorio, visa, alivio migratorio o admisión a los Estados Unidos”.

Además, los extranjeros en Estados Unidos que sean hallados por el Secretario de Estado, el Secretario de Seguridad Nacional o el Fiscal General como adherentes a la ley Sharía “tendrán revocados sus beneficios migratorios, alivios o visas, serán considerados inadmisibles o deportables, y serán expulsados de los Estados Unidos”.

Quienes mientan sobre su adhesión a la ley Sharía ante agencias federales también verán “revocados sus beneficios migratorios, alivios o visas, serán considerados inadmisibles o deportables, y serán expulsados de los Estados Unidos”.

“Estados Unidos enfrenta una amenaza existencial: la expansión de la ley Sharía. Desde Texas hasta cada estado de la unión, los casos de seguidores de la Sharía han amenazado el modo de vida estadounidense, buscando reemplazar nuestro sistema legal y nuestra Constitución con una ideología incompatible que reduce los derechos de las mujeres, los niños y las personas de diferentes religiones”, dijo Roy sobre el proyecto. “Europa debería ser una llamada de atención para Estados Unidos, mostrando cómo la expansión de la ley Sharía provoca la erosión de Occidente.”

Roy explicó que el sistema migratorio del país debe ser “fortalecido” para combatir la “importación de seguidores de la Sharía —la preservación de nuestra república constitucional y de su pueblo depende de ello”.

El expresidente Trump criticó a los líderes que permiten el avance de la ley Sharía en Occidente durante su discurso ante las Naciones Unidas, diciendo sobre el alcalde de Londres, Sadiq Khan: “Ahora quieren implementar la ley Sharía. Será la muerte de Europa si estos países no comienzan a controlar sus fronteras.”

El presidente Donald Trump firmó un histórico acuerdo de paz en Egipto junto a numerosos líderes mundiales.

Entre los asistentes a la cumbre se encontraban líderes de Egipto, Catar, Turquía, Francia, Alemania, el Reino Unido, los Emiratos Árabes Unidos, Jordania y otros países.

“Esto tomó 3.000 años para llegar a este punto. ¿Pueden creerlo? Y va a mantenerse también. Va a mantenerse”, dijo Trump.

“Este es el día por el que la gente de esta región y de todo el mundo ha estado trabajando, esforzándose, esperando y rezando”, declaró al firmar el acuerdo. “Han hecho cosas durante el último mes que creo que eran realmente impensables. Nadie pensó que esto podría suceder. Con el histórico acuerdo que acabamos de firmar, las oraciones de millones finalmente han sido respondidas. Como saben, los rehenes han sido liberados.”

“Juntos, hemos logrado lo que todos decían que era imposible. Por fin, tenemos paz en Medio Oriente”, afirmó. “Lo hemos escuchado durante muchos años, pero nadie pensó que alguna vez podría lograrse. Y ahora lo hemos conseguido.”

El presidente Trump también recibió el máximo honor estatal de Egipto, la Orden del Nilo. “Me siento profundamente honrado de recibir de ustedes el más alto honor del Estado egipcio, la Orden del Nilo”, expresó.

Los mediadores comenzarán a trabajar en la fase dos del plan de 20 puntos.

“Bueno, ya comenzó. Quiero decir, comenzó desde nuestro punto de vista”, anunció Trump mientras se reunía con el presidente egipcio Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. “La fase dos ha comenzado. Y, ya saben, las fases están un poco entremezcladas entre sí. Van a empezar a limpiar. Si miran Gaza, necesita mucha limpieza.”

President Donald Trump signed a historic peace agreement in Egypt alongside numerous world leaders.

Those present at the summit included leaders from Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and other countries.

“This took 3,000 years to get to this point. Can you believe it? And it’s going to hold up too. It’s going to hold up,” Trump said.

“This is the day that people across this region and around the world have been working, striving, hoping, and praying for,” he stated upon signing the agreement. “They have done things over the last month that I think were really unthinkable. Nobody thought this could happen. With the historic agreement we have just signed, those prayers of millions have finally been answered. As you know the hostages have been returned.”

“Together, we have achieved what everybody said was impossible. At long last, we have peace in the Middle East,” he declared. “We’ve heard it for many years, but nobody thought it could ever get there. And now we’re there.”

President Trump also received Egypt’s highest state honor, the Order of the Nile. “I’m deeply honored to receive from you Egypt’s highest state honor, the Order of the Nile,” he said.

Mediators will begin working on phase two of the 20-point plan.

“Well, it started. I mean, it started as far as we’re concerned,” Trump announced while sitting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. “Phase two has started. And, you know, the phases are all a little bit mixed in with each other. You’re gonna start cleaning up. You look at Gaza it needs a lot of clean-up.”

Abigail Spanberger Endorsement Scandal Explodes After Debate Silence

Democratic Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger refused five times to rescind her endorsement of attorney general nominee Jay Jones, who has come under fire for texting about shooting a Republican colleague.

During Thursday night’s gubernatorial debate, Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears pressed Spanberger directly: “Abigail, when are you gonna take Jay Jones and say to him, ‘You must leave the race?’ He has said he wants to murder his political opponent, and not only that—his opponent’s children.”

Despite repeated questioning from moderators, Spanberger declined to withdraw her support. She called Jones’s comments “absolutely abhorrent” but avoided saying whether she still backed his campaign. “It is up to voters to make an individual choice based on this information,” she said when pressed.

When moderator Deanna Allbrittin asked if Spanberger was still endorsing Jones, the Democrat again refused to answer, instead repeating that “it’s up to every voter to make their own individual decision.”

Jones’s violent remarks, first reported by National Review, included a 2022 text saying, “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” referencing GOP House leader Todd Gilbert. He also wrote that he would attend Republican funerals to “piss on their graves” and told a colleague he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her children die.

Earle-Sears said Spanberger’s silence shows “a failure of leadership.” The controversy threatens to derail Spanberger’s campaign as Democrats face mounting pressure to denounce Jones’s comments.

America250 Commission Taps Anti-Columbus Group Behind Statue Removals

The taxpayer-funded America250 commission, led by former Obama official Rosie Rios, has partnered with a left-wing activist group known for campaigning to erase Christopher Columbus from U.S. history.

Rios, appointed by former President Joe Biden to oversee the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations, selected the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) to help organize the semiquincentennial festivities. America250 described NCAI as a “subject-matter” expert on Indigenous history—but the group has led efforts to remove Columbus statues, rename the Washington Redskins, and push to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples’ Day.

In June 2020, NCAI celebrated the removal of Columbus statues, calling the explorer a symbol of “hate, genocide, and bigotry.” The group also praised California lawmakers in 2022 for stripping Columbus’s name from a portion of Interstate 10.

Rios and America250 have echoed those sentiments, promoting an article titled “Unlearning Columbus Day Myths,” which claimed that “Celebrating Columbus and other explorers like him dismisses the devastating losses experienced by Indigenous Peoples.”

The decision to partner with NCAI is likely to reignite criticism of Rios, who previously said “nothing good” could come from Donald Trump’s presidency and accused him of having “demonized … my people.” Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has called for her removal, citing “a track record of extreme partisan bias.”

The controversy comes as Trump restores Columbus Day to federal observance, declaring, “Columbus Day—we’re back, Italians!” Polls show 69 percent of Americans consider Columbus an “important part of American history.”

Rubio Demands Release of Pastor Detained in China

The Trump administration has demanded that a pastor detained in China be released. Pastor Jin Mingr, who also goes by Ezra Jin, was detained on October 10.

“The United States condemns the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s recent detention of dozens of leaders of the unregistered house Zion Church in China, including prominent pastor Mingri ‘Ezra’ Jin,” Rubio said. “This crackdown further demonstrates how the CCP exercises hostility towards Christians who reject Party interference in their faith and choose to worship at unregistered house churches.” The statement demanded that the CCP “immediately release the detained church leaders and to allow all people of faith, including members of house churches, to engage in religious activities without fear of retribution.”

A statement released by Zion Church on October 12 said China launched a “sweeping operation” across Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hainan, arresting pastors, ministers, and members of Zion Church.

“More than 30 church leaders and believers have been detained or disappeared; worship venues have been raided and sealed, properties confiscated, and family members harassed,” the statement said.

The statement declared that the only “offense” committed is “worshiping God peacefully, preaching the Gospel faithfully, shepherding their flock, and serving their neighbors.” These actions are “protected under both the Constitution of China and international human rights law.”

Noting that China’s actions violate other laws, Zion Church asserted, “Such systemic persecution is not only a desecration against God’s Church but also an open affront to the international community.”

The House’s Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party said in a statement on X: “There is no freedom of religion in China. The CCP routinely persecutes people of faith and Pastor Ezra Jin Mingri is its latest victim. China should immediately release Pastor Mingri and end the religious persecution of all Chinese people.”

Man Removed After Desecrating Sacred Altar at St. Peter’s Basilica

Chaos erupted at St. Peter’s Basilica on Friday when a man allegedly urinated on the church’s main altar, one of the holiest sites in Christendom. Security guards and plainclothes police swiftly intervened, escorting the suspect out of the basilica as stunned onlookers recorded the disturbing act.

According to multiple Italian reports, the man defiled the Altar of the Confession in full view of tourists and worshippers. Vatican officials said the individual was quickly detained and turned over to Italian authorities. “This is an episode of a person with a serious mental disability who has been detained by the Vatican Police and then placed at the disposal of the Italian authorities,” Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni told ANSA.

Sources said Pope Leo was informed of the incident and was “shocked to learn of the news.” Under Canon Law, such acts require a penitential rite before public worship can resume.

The desecration marks the latest in a troubling pattern of incidents at the basilica. In February, another man damaged ceremonial items on the same altar. And in 2023, a protester stripped near the altar with the words “Save children of Ukraine” scrawled on his back.

The Vatican has since reinforced security measures, emphasizing the need to protect sacred spaces from desecration. For many Catholics, the St. Peter’s Basilica incident serves as a painful reminder of the growing disregard for religious reverence in modern society.

Sharia Law Ban Hits Congress

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) recently introduced a bill preventing those adhering to Sharia Law from entering the United States.

The bill, called Preserving A Sharia-Free America Act, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to “prohibit the entry of aliens who adhere to Sharia law and for other purposes.”

Those involved with Sharia Law are to be denied “any immigration benefit, visa, immigration relief, or admission to the United States.”

Further, aliens in the United States found to be adhering to Sharia Law “by the Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security, or Attorney General shall have any immigration benefit, immigration relief, or visa revoked, be considered inadmissible or deportable, and shall be removed from the United States.”

Those who lie about his or her adherence to Sharia Law to federal agencies will also have their “immigration benefit, immigration relief, or visa revoked, be considered inadmissible or deportable, and shall be removed from the United States.”

“America is facing an existential threat – the spread of Sharia Law. From Texas to every state in the union, instances of Sharia Law adherents have threatened the American way of life, seeking to replace our legal system and Constitution with an incompatible ideology that diminishes the rights of women, children, and individuals of different faiths,” Roy said of the bill. “Europe should be a wakeup call to America, showing what the spread of Sharia law looks like – the erosion of the West.”

Roy explained that the nation’s immigration system must be “fortified” to combat the “importation of Sharia adherents – the preservation of our constitutional republic and its people depend on it.”

President Trump criticized leaders who allow the shift toward Sharia Law in the West during his speech before the United Nations, saying of London Mayor Sadiq Khan, “Now they want to go to Sharia law. It will be the death of Europe if these countries don’t start controlling their borders.”

Doctor’s Crimes Expose After Hidden Camera Discovery Leads to Prison Murder Plot

A shocking case of deception and abuse has emerged from Pennsylvania, where a doctor’s crimes shattered the image of a respected family man and exposed the darkness that can hide behind professional prestige.

Stacey Rutherford believed she had found “a gold mine” when she married local physician Justin Rutherford. But in 2021, her world fell apart after a hidden camera was discovered inside the family bathroom — secretly installed by her husband. Police say the device recorded thousands of intimate images of family members and guests, leading to the exposure of years of sexual abuse.

“Initially, I didn’t think there was any courage there in my speaking out,” said Rutherford’s son, Tyler VanScyoc, who revealed he had been abused since age 11. “I felt like I had to.”

The investigation revealed a sinister double life: Justin fled to Europe, was arrested upon return, and later attempted to orchestrate his stepson’s murder from prison. “I was completely devastated,” Stacey said. “It changed all of our lives. It made me realize just how ugly this world is.”

In 2023, Justin Rutherford was sentenced to up to 70 years in prison, plus additional time for the murder-for-hire scheme. Stacey now urges parents to stay vigilant: “It’s not only creepy weirdos who molest kids. This stuff goes on inside good homes. It can happen anywhere.” The doctor’s double life serves as a chilling reminder that evil often hides in plain sight — and that vigilance remains every parent’s strongest defense.
