El reportero de Politico que cubre a Trump lloró por su elección, pero aún así afirma objetividad.

September 30, 2025

La actual reportera de Politico asignada a cubrir a Donald Trump en la Casa Blanca admitió una vez que lloró cuando él ganó en 2016 porque creía que “cosas horribles estaban por venir”. Cheyanne Daniels, quien se unió a Politico en mayo tras años como “reportera de raza y política” en The Hill, ahora informa sobre la presidencia de Trump, lo que ha generado dudas sobre la neutralidad de los medios.

El 7 de noviembre de 2020, Daniels tuiteó: “Hace 4 años lloré cuando me di cuenta de que Donald Trump había sido elegido, sabiendo que cosas horribles estaban por venir. Ahora, estoy en mi apartamento en D.C., escuchando a la gente animar en las calles y gritar que ha sido derrotado, y lloro una vez más. Pero por una razón muy diferente.” Apenas una semana después, escribió que los partidarios de Trump creían que su “vida como mujer negra no importa, que no debería existir, que amenazo la pureza del poder blanco.”

A pesar de la promesa de Politico de ofrecer “hechos directos y análisis objetivo”, los comentarios pasados de Daniels muestran una hostilidad abierta hacia Trump y sus votantes. Lo ha calificado de “racista, homofóbico, sexista y misógino” mientras elogiaba a Kamala Harris por boicotear un evento bipartidista en honor al expresidente. También se refirió a los seguidores de Trump como “Magatts”.

Actualmente, su cobertura incluye desde el enfoque de Trump hacia Ucrania hasta su agenda doméstica. Sin embargo, persisten las preguntas sobre la decisión de Politico de asignar a alguien con un historial de declaraciones tan partidistas a una fuente que exige objetividad.

Senate Report Exposes CISA as Biden’s Government Censorship Machine

September 30, 2025

Biden (8) — WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 1: U.S. President Joe Biden speaks to the media following the Supreme Court's ruling on charges against former President Donald Trump that he sought to subvert the 2020 election, at the White House on July 1, 2024 in Washington, DC. The highest court ruled 6-3 that presidents have some level of immunity from prosecution when operating within their "constitutional authority," but do not have absolute immunity.

The latest Senate investigation has revealed how the Biden administration turned the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) into a government censorship tool. Created in 2018 to defend critical infrastructure, the agency quickly expanded its reach into policing online speech—targeting conservatives in particular.

On Oct. 7, 2020, a Twitter post urging conservatives to “vote in person” was flagged by Washington state officials as “potential misinformation.” Within 20 minutes, CISA forwarded the complaint to Twitter, and by the next morning, the post was gone. According to the Senate report, such “switchboarding” was routine during the 2020 election.

CISA officials defended their role in shaping online discourse. Former director Jen Easterly declared in 2021 that “the most critical infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure,” adding, “building that resilience to misinformation and disinformation, I think, is incredibly important.”

The report—titled The Mechanics of Government Censorship—shows how CISA blurred the line between national security and political messaging. It describes how the agency outsourced censorship operations to nonprofits to avoid legal scrutiny and even flagged factual content as “malinformation” if it challenged official narratives.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted the revelations: “Our report shows that the Biden administration used CISA to strong arm social media companies into taking action against speech protected by the First Amendment.” He warned that such tactics will “inevitably… be disproportionately used to silence conservatives.”

The findings arrive as Congress weighs new regulations on artificial intelligence. The report concludes with a stark reminder: “They should keep in mind the Biden administration’s transformation of CISA—which Congress created with widespread bipartisan support to protect national security—into an unaccountable censorship agency.”

Erika Kirk destacada en la lista de “Estrellas en Ascenso Más Influyentes”

September 30, 2025

Erika Kirk, viuda del fundador de Turning Point USA, Charlie Kirk, ha sido nombrada una de las “estrellas en ascenso más influyentes” del mundo por la revista TIME.

Kirk aparece en la categoría de “líderes” junto con la secretaria de prensa de la Casa Blanca, Karoline Levitt, el representante Byron Donalds (R-FL) y otros.

El periodista Nik Popli escribió en TIME que Erika Kirk “ofreció algo poco común en la política actual: perdón”.

“Sus palabras pueden dar forma al futuro de la organización que su esposo lanzó en su adolescencia y convirtió en una potencia política que moviliza a jóvenes conservadores en todo el país. En el camino, Erika Kirk emergió como una voz influyente para esa misma audiencia. Con su fallecimiento, la junta de Turning Point USA la nombró directora ejecutiva y presidenta”, escribió Popli, agregando que “lo que Erika Kirk muestra al liderazgo político de Estados Unidos es la fuerza de la resiliencia y la gracia”.

Durante el servicio conmemorativo de su esposo, Erika Kirk dijo: “Nuestro Salvador dijo: ‘Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen’. Ese joven… lo perdono. Lo perdono porque fue lo que hizo Cristo, y es lo que Charlie haría”.

“La respuesta al odio no es el odio”, continuó. “La respuesta —lo sabemos por el evangelio— es el amor. Siempre el amor. Amor por nuestros enemigos. Amor por quienes nos persiguen”.

Erika Kirk ha sido nombrada la nueva directora ejecutiva de Turning Point USA. La organización conservadora dijo al anunciar la transición: “Fue el honor de nuestras vidas servir como miembros de la junta junto a Charlie. Charlie nos preparó a todos para un momento como este. Trabajó incansablemente para garantizar que Turning Point USA estuviera construido para sobrevivir incluso a las pruebas más grandes. Y ahora, es nuestro gran orgullo anunciar a Erika Kirk como la nueva directora ejecutiva y presidenta de la junta de Turning Point USA”.

Erika Kirk Featured on ‘Most Influential Rising Stars’ List

September 30, 2025

Erika Kirk, the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, has been named one of TIME’s “most influential rising stars” in the world.

Kirk is listed in the “leaders” category alongside White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), and others.

Reporter Nik Popli wrote for TIME that Erika Kirk “offered something rare in today’s politics: forgiveness.”

“Her words may frame the future of the organization her husband launched as a teen and built into a political powerhouse mobilizing young conservatives across the country. Along the way, Erika Kirk emerged as an influential voice for that same audience. With his death, the Turning Point USA board named her CEO and chair,” Popli wrote, adding that “what Erika Kirk models to America’s political leadership is the strength of resilience and grace.”

During the memorial service for her husband, Erika Kirk said, “Our Savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they not know what they do.’ That young man … I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and it’s what Charlie would do.”

“The answer to hate is not hate,” she continued. “The answer—we know from the gospel—is love. Always love. Love for our enemies. Love for those who persecute us.”

Erika Kirk has been named the new CEO of Turning Point USA. The conservative organization said upon announcing the transition, “It was the honor of our lives to serve as board members at Charlie’s side. Charlie prepared all of us for a moment like this one. He worked tirelessly to ensure Turning Point USA was built to survive even the greatest tests. And now, it is our great pride to announce Erika Kirk as the new CEO and Chair of the Board for Turning Point USA.”

Politico’s Trump Reporter Cried Over His Election Yet Claims Objectivity

September 30, 2025

Politico’s current Trump reporter covering the White House once admitted she cried when Donald Trump won in 2016 because she believed “horrible things were to come.” Cheyanne Daniels, who joined Politico in May after years as a “race and politics reporter” for The Hill, now reports on Trump’s presidency—raising concerns about media neutrality.

On Nov. 7, 2020, Daniels tweeted: “4 years ago, I cried when I realized Donald Trump had been elected, knowing horrible things were to come. Now, I’m in my apartment in D.C., hearing people cheering in the streets screaming that he has been defeated, and I’m crying once again. But for a very different reason.” Just a week later, she wrote that Trump supporters believed her “life as a Black woman doesn’t matter, that I shouldn’t exist, I threaten the purity of white power.”

Despite Politico’s promise to deliver “straightforward facts and clear-eyed analysis,” Daniels’s past comments paint a picture of open hostility toward Trump and his voters. She has labeled Trump “racist, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic” while praising Kamala Harris for boycotting a bipartisan event honoring the former president. She also referred to Trump supporters as “Magatts.”

Her coverage now includes reporting on everything from Trump’s approach to Ukraine to his domestic agenda. Yet questions remain about Politico’s decision to place someone with such a record of partisan statements on a beat that demands objectivity.

Shocking Safari Chaos: Elephant Charges Tourists After They Get Too Close to Calves

September 30, 2025

Wildlife rules exist for a reason, and one safari group in Botswana learned that the hard way when an angry mother elephant attacked after their canoes floated too close to her young. The terrifying encounter, captured on video, shows the moment an elephant charges tourists, knocking them into the water and briefly shoving a woman underwater with its trunk.

According to reports, a mix of American and British visitors ignored the danger signs as their mokoros — traditional dugout canoes — edged near a herd of elephants in the wetlands. Suddenly, the massive female spun around and stormed the group. Guides tried desperately to backpedal, but it was too late. The elephant rammed two canoes, tossing the passengers into the water.

The footage shows the shaken woman floundering before being pinned under the surface by the giant animal. “She was incredibly lucky. Had the elephant held her down for a few more seconds, or gored her with its tusks, the outcome would likely have been fatal,” a former South African game ranger warned.

Miraculously, the woman escaped without serious injury, though many of the group’s belongings — including phones and cameras — were destroyed.

The mother calmly returned to its calves after sending the unmistakable message: wild animals are not props for careless tourists. In Africa, elephants can reach seven tons and more than 12 feet tall, with only humans posing a real threat to their survival. Yet despite international bans, poaching for ivory still devastates their populations.

This frightening encounter underscores the stakes: respect wildlife boundaries — or pay the price.

Scranton ER Crisis Deepens After Mayor Blocked Much-Needed Expansion

September 30, 2025

A Scranton, PA ER crisis is worsening as hospital resources shrink, and Mayor Paige Cognetti’s (D) zoning decisions are under scrutiny. In 2023, Geisinger Community Medical Center, one of only two emergency rooms in Scranton, sought to expand its facilities after doctors were forced to treat patients in “closets” and “bathrooms.” The hospital warned that without more space, as many as 10 patients a day would be forced elsewhere.

Cognetti initially acknowledged the risks, saying, “We cannot be in a position where we are deterring or blocking health care providers from effectively running their operations. That runs counter to our long-term goals and, most importantly, against the best interests of our residents and their health.” Yet when residents raised concerns over a proposed parking structure, Scranton’s city council voted to slash the maximum building height, making the project unworkable. Cognetti supported and signed the restrictive plan, calling it proof of “what a public process is supposed to be.”

As a result, Geisinger shelved the project in 2024, saying the ordinance was “a setback to our growth plans for Geisinger Community Medical Center.” Today, with two other Scranton hospitals up for sale, concerns are mounting about the city’s already strained medical system.

Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan highlighted the stakes: “[W]e have 33,000 emergency room visits a year, with 1,800 NICU births that take place right just in Lackawanna County. So we want to make sure that there’s a continuity of care in Northeastern Pennsylvania because of our location. We have to make sure that we’re taking care of our own people.”

Bondi Orders Crackdown on ICE Attacks

September 30, 2025

Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued a sweeping memorandum to put an end to the rise of political violence against ICE agents. The directive, sent to the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service, and the director of the Executive Office of US Attorneys, instructs officers and agents to defend ICE facilities, add local law enforcement to the ICE Protection Task Force, and provide assistance to entities protecting ICE.

Detailing the increase of violent incidents and riots across the country, described as “sophisticated, organized campaigns of targeted intimidation, radicalization, threats, and violence,” Bondi declares, “Enough is enough. The Department of Justice will stand strong when federal law enforcement officers are attacked or threatened for doing their sworn duty on behalf of the United States government.”

“Our officers will suppress all unlawful rioting and arrest every person suspected of threatening or assaulting,” the memo adds.

Sharing the memo on social media, Bondi wrote, “I just issued a memo to all [Justice Department] components making it clear: violence against federal officers will not be tolerated. The DOJ is deploying agents to protect ICE facilities, arrest violent agitators on the spot, and bring the strongest federal charges possible.”

“The rule of law will prevail,” she asserted.

The directive comes after a shooting occurred at an ICE facility in Dallas. Surveillance footage from the facility reveals the moment federal agents risked their lives to save detainees trapped under sniper fire, where agents shielded migrants and rushed them to safety.

The Department of Homeland Security said last week that ICE officers are “facing a more than 1000% increase in assaults against them, including vehicles being used as weapons towards them, and doxing campaigns targeting federal officers and their families.”

Energy Unleashed: $625M Expansion of Coal Industry

September 30, 2025

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced a $625 million investment to expand the coal industry in the wake of reindustrialization and the AI race.

“Beautiful, clean coal will be essential to powering America’s reindustrialization and winning the AI race,” Energy Secretary Chris Wright said. “These funds will help keep our nation’s coal plants operating and will be vital to keeping electricity prices low and the lights on without interruption. Coal built the greatest industrial engine the world has ever known, and with President Trump’s leadership, it will help do so again.”

Of the $625 million, $350 million will modernize coal power units, $175 million will support coal in rural communities, $50 million will support wastewater systems for coal plants, $25 million will provide economic flexibility for coal plants, and another $25 million will be used for testing natural gas co-firing systems.

The Department of the Interior has also opened 13.1 million acres of federal land for coal leasing in an effort to restore energy dominance and support domestic supply chains.

“President Trump promised to put American energy workers first, and today we’re delivering,” Secretary Doug Burgum said of the development. “By reducing the royalty rate for coal, increasing coal acres available for leasing, and unlocking critical minerals from mine waste, we are strengthening our economy, protecting national security, and ensuring that communities from Montana to Alabama benefit from good-paying jobs. Washington doesn’t build prosperity, American workers and entrepreneurs do, and we’re giving them the tools to succeed.”

In April, President Trump signed an executive order to reinvigorate the coal industry. “It is a national priority to support the domestic coal industry by removing Federal regulatory barriers that undermine coal production, encouraging the utilization of coal to meet growing domestic energy demands, increasing American coal exports, and ensuring that Federal policy does not discriminate against coal production or coal-fired electricity generation,” the order explained.

Zohran Mamdani’s Apology Dodging Shows He’s Scared of DSA Masters

September 30, 2025

Eighteen days after pledging to make amends for calling the NYPD “racist,” Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani still refuses to deliver a real apology — instead hiding behind rambling non-answers that sound more like activist word salad than leadership.

At a press conference in Inwood, Mamdani claimed, “The thing that I have appreciated the most in conversations around policing is the conversations I’ve had with rank-and-file officers.” He added that those discussions are where he shares his “reflections about where we are in this moment, where we’ve been, and also what it will mean to build together to deliver that publicity.”

Statements many saw as falling well short of a substantive apology.

Democratic insiders say the real reason Mamdani can’t utter the words is fear of offending his Democratic Socialists of America backers. “It’s super easy to apologize,” one operative said. “It’s super hard for him because of the DSA.” Another added, “If he can’t bring himself to apologize to the very people that are literally protecting him because of DSA lunatics, he should drop out like Eric Adams.”

Police unions, who backed Mayor Adams before his implosion, confirm they haven’t heard a word from Mamdani’s campaign. Meanwhile, he insists he is “planning to reach out to police unions” as Election Day looms.
