John Fetterman Hospitalized With Heart Problems

Senator John Fetterman suffered a fall and minor injuries, for which he was taken to the hospital for observation. Fox News: Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., was hospitalized on Thursday after he fell near his home in Pennsylvania, a spokesperson for the senator said. “During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock. Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh,” the spokesperson said. “Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.” The spokesperson added that Fetterman is currently “doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital.” The spokesperson also shared a statement from Fetterman, in which the senator jokes about the incident. (Fox News) As decent people wish him well and hope for a full return to good health, the denizens of Bluesky are, of course, wishing for his untimely death. Totally on-brand. (X)

Ukraine Energy and Justice Ministers Resign in $100 Million Corruption Scandal, Others Flee Country

In a totally unexpected development, massive corruption involving top government officials and the energy sector of the economy has led to the resignation of two of Zelensky’s top allies in the government. BBC: Ukraine’s energy and justice ministers have resigned in the wake of a major investigation into corruption in the country’s energy sector. President Volodymyr Zelensky called for Energy Minister Svitlana Grynchuk and Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko’s removal on Wednesday. On Monday anti-corruption bodies accused several people of orchestrating a embezzlement scheme in the energy sector worth about $100m (£76m), including at the national nuclear operator Enerhoatom. Some of those implicated in the scandal are – or have been – close associates of Zelensky’s. The allegation is that Justice Minister Herman Halushchenko and other key ministers and officials received payments from contractors building fortifications against Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Among those alleged to be involved are former Deputy Prime Minister Oleksiy Chernyshov and Timur Mindich – a businessman and a co-owner of Zelensky’s former TV studio Kvartal95. He has since reportedly fled the country. (BBC) No word on whether the Biden family got a cut of the action.

JFK’s Grandson Running for Congress, and He Is Bizarre
Jack Schlossberg, the only grandson of JFK, announced a bid to replace Jerry Nadler in Congress. Kennedy has two claims to fame, the first being his membership in the Kennedy clan, and the second being his TikTok antics that strongly imply he is absolutely nuts. New York Post: “True or false: Usha Vance is way hotter than Jackie O,” he wrote in an X post during President Trump’s inauguration ceremony. The tweet sparked uproar and grossed-out many of his followers. “Gonna be honest man, I think most people don’t do hotness rankers involving their grandmas,” one user commented. In a follow up post, Schlossberg called himself “a literal pervert.” “I called my grandmother hot … have I totally lost it? Jesus … this kid will do anything for attention. Your grandfather would be ashamed. Seriously. Time to get a job,” Schlossberg wrote of himself in third person — as observers told him to “seek help”… In another since-deleted post, Schlossberg designed a crude recipe for a “MAHA energy ball” — referring to Make America Healthy Again, a slogan trademarked by his cousin RFK Jr. The recipe includes “2 oz of Jew blood (Ashkenazi not Sephardic). 4 cups of male j–z. Baked at 300 degrees until totally dry like your wife,” he wrote in February, sparking backlash. (New York Post) Who could have guessed that a Kennedy could be so degenerate?

Massive Fraud in SNAP Program
Agriculture Secretary Brook Rollins revealed that the SNAP program currently pays benefits to dead people, who presumably no longer require food aid. She also revealed that more than half a million people are registered for SNAP twice, giving them a nice bonus, and that they, as well, will no longer get double benefits. Post Millennial:  US Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has revealed that her department has found that dead people have been receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as well as people receiving the benefits twice. Speaking with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Rollins said that of the 29 states that complied and shared their SNAP data with the administration, her department has found that a “staggering” 5,000 dead people have been receiving the benefits, and 500,000 people were “getting benefits two times under the same name.” Additionally, she said that 80 percent of those on SNAP in those states were able-bodied Americans, “meaning they can work. They don’t have small children at home, they’re not taking care of an elderly parent. They can work, and they choose not to work, of course, because they’re getting significant benefits from the taxpayer.” (Post Millennial) Since only 29 states have complied with requests to share SNAP data, one has to wonder how many people in the 21 blue states, including New York, Illinois, and California, are committing fraud. Chances are that the number is much higher, unless you believe that Democrat-run states are especially diligent in stopping welfare fraud.

Mamdani’s Favorite Influencer Visits China to Highlight Wonders of Communism
Zohran Mamdani famously campaigned with leftist influencer Hasan Piker, who bitterly complained on election night about the collapse of the Soviet Union. Piker is currently broadcasting his wildly popular podcast from China, highlighting the wonders of communism. Although Piker was stopped and searched in Tiananmen Square, Piker has insisted that the country is everything he hopes a communist country could be. Hasan Piker:  My mind in my conscience, I have already become Chinese. Okay? We were already white Chinese in this chat. I’ve already become full Chinese. Okay, let me just start by saying that it’s f**king sick. Okay. Like you have a abundance style consumption paired up with a centrally controlled economy, an economic system. That has yielded tremendous development. You have 1950s Soviet era building blocks next to the Gucci store. If there was more, if there was ever a country that represented the synthesis, the, the, the, uh, the things that I enjoy so much personally, if ever such a country exists, I do not know. You have to try the premium grilled chicken sandwich in McDonald’s China, or I’m gonna report you to the CCP officials. (X) Who could have guessed that Zohran Mamdani would campaign with a shill for the Chinese Communist Party?

Tucker Carlson Warns Against Calling Anybody but Israelis ‘Nazis’
Tucker Carlson has recently been complaining that conservatives have used the term ‘Nazi’ to describe an influencer who says he is on ‘Team Hitler.” He says it is unchristian to do so, and he even criticized Dietrich Bonhoeffer for his participation in a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler. There is one group, though, for whom the accusation of Nazi tendencies is acceptable: the Israeli Defense Forces. Tucker Carlson on Bonhoeffer: Once we start calling people Nazis, we really have no choice but to start shooting them, to be Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and sort of reach the end of reason, or even Christianity. Bonhoeffer decided Christianity’s not even—he was a Lutheran pastor—Christianity’s not enough, we have to kill the guy. (X) Tucker on the IDF: …the IDF’s leaders have more in common with Adolf Eichmann than Jesus. (X) That aligns with the theory he discussed on his podcast, which concluded that Winston Churchill was the villain in World War II.

Democrats Brag That Jeffrey Epstein Hated Trump, Just Like They Do
The Democratic Party is now invoking the moral judgment of Jeffrey Epstein to prove that Donald Trump is a very bad man. Epstein, it turns out, absolutely hated Donald Trump, just as they do, and shared an email from Epstein in which he described Donald Trump as ‘dangerous.’ DNC: BREAKING: Newly released emails show Jeffrey Epstein thought Trump was one of the worst people he knew, with “not one decent cell in his body.” He went on to describe Trump with one word: “Dangerous.” (DNC on X) Data Republican has some thoughts: Democrats yesterday: Jeffrey Epstein was best friends with Trump and this proves Trump is a bad man! Democrats today: Jeffrey Epstein hated Trump and this proves Trump is a bad man! Pick a lane already. (Data Republican on X) Who is surprised that the Democrats are agreeing with the character judgment of one of the most degenerate men in the world?

MSNBC Hires Black Actors to Promote Their White Anchors
MSNBC does not have any solo Black anchors hosting weekday prime-time shows. The most high-profile Black anchor, Joy Reid, was fired earlier in 2025, and this left the network without a solo Black anchor in its main weekday lineup. The current prime-time and weekday hosts are overwhelmingly white, with only rare, brief appearances by Black co-hosts like Michael Steele. So when the network released an ad touting its rebrand to MSNOW, it seems they had to hire black actors for their video. Daily Caller: MSNBC posted a Nov. 4 video advertising the network’s My Source for News, Opinion, and the World (MS NOW) rebrand, featuring black actors portraying regular Americans interspliced around the network’s mostly Caucasian anchors, The Washington Free Beacon reported on Tuesday. MSNBC will officially rebrand to MS NOW on Nov. 15. The video is narrated by network anchor Rachel Maddow, who reads the U.S. Constitution, with the Beacon reporting the ad is likely an appeal to the network’s substantial black audience amid its largely Caucasian team of anchors. MSNBC was the top cable news network for black Americans, the network reported in April. The video features footage of Martin Luther King Jr., protests, the Statue of Liberty and shots of the actors and anchors among other visuals as Maddow narrates. (Daily Caller) No doubt millions of people are shocked that MSNBC is misleading its viewers.

Gavin Newsom’s Former Chief of Staff Indicted for Public Corruption
Gavin Newsom knew a year ago that his Chief of Staff was under investigation by the FBI, but when she resigned, he gave her a glowing recommendation nonetheless. Today she was arrested for committing a series of felonies. Sacramento Bee: Federal officials arrested Dana Williamson, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s former chief of staff, Wednesday in a public corruption probe that includes multiple charges of bank and wire fraud, according to a federal indictment obtained by The Sacramento Bee. Williamson, who left the Governor’s Office at the end of 2024, is named along with Greg Campbell, Sean McCluskie and two others on a conspiracy to commit fraud related to funds in a dormant political campaign account for former U.S. Congressman Xavier Becerra. There are 23 counts in total; the 18 bank and wire fraud charges each carry a maximum of 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. (Sacramento Bee) No word yet on whether Hunter Biden got a cut.
