A recent report from CNN on the voter sentiment among Jewish Democrats in New York painted a stark picture for Democrats in the Empire State.

It noted that in 2018 a generic poll of just New York Jews found they favored Democrats by an unsurprising 40 points.

Nevertheless, the same type of survey conducted in 2026 found Jews in New York favoring Democrats by 13 points representing a 27-point fall of support for Democrats.

Currently, a group of New York State Rabbis is traveling the state to essentially campaign against Democrats.

In Michigan Jews for Republican Mike Rogers groups, something that would be inconceivable just months ago, are working to defeat the Democrat El-Sayd.

But a new demographic group problem is growing for Democrats across the country: Black voters are not as enthusiastic about voting as Democrats need them to be.

El-Sayed, is the Democratic nominee for Michigan’s open US Senate seat won the nomination by less than a single percentage point in the party’s primary.

Rep. Haley Stevens, who lost to him, nevertheless, defeated him by 28 points in the heavily Black Detroit area. As in the case with Michigan’s Jewish Democrats, groups of Blacks are stepping up to denounce El-Sayd.

Moreover, in Georgia, among early in person voters Black Democrats are, at this point underrepresented.

Back to Michigan, which can rightfully be pointed to as a harbinger of bad news for Democrats depending on Black voters, a recent Washington Post-Schar School poll found the following:

“Among likely Black voters, 83 percent say they want Democrats to control the Senate but 67 percent back El-Sayed.”

The significance of the second number can not be ignored because a late September survey of Michigan Black Democrats conducted by Fox News, found 77% support for El-Sayd meaning it has dropped 10 points in less than a month.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.

Fight back:

Do what YOU can with what YOU have. Volunteer, donate, wave signs in the streets of YOUR district and pray asking God for His protection from these evil people. Please spread the truth.

If you thought the political games around the midterms couldn’t get any more disturbing, buckle up, we’ve got a doozy for you. There’s a new bombshell report from DataRepublican, the researcher who made big waves during the DOGE investigations.

And if what she’s uncovering turns out to be true, we’re looking at something a helluva lot scarier than the usual political dirty tricks from our communist enemies on the left.

DataRepublican says she’s got her hands on thousands of transcripts and hundreds of recordings that point to an elaborate, coordinated effort to provoke a constitutional crisis right after the 2026 midterms.

Basically, this would be a CIA-style color revolution on our own soil, in real time.

From DR’s reporting, the goal is to create enough confrontation and unrest that President Trump is forced to invoke the Insurrection Act, then use his response to undermine the legitimacy of the federal government and shift political authority to Dem governors.

It’s an extraordinary allegation. Keep in mind, the materials haven’t been independently verified, and likely never will be. But what she’s describing is specific enough and serious enough that it’s worth talking about.

Because if there’s any truth to this, the midterms could be about a whole lot more than which party controls Congress. It could be a complete and total annihilation of our constitutional republic.

DR says she has a huge collection of material, including thousands of documents that she’s been using AI to analyze.

According to her findings, the Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) would play a central role in a much larger plot involving other far-left activist organizations and a whole slew of confrontations with the Trump admin.

What DR is suggesting goes way beyond anything we’ve seen yet. She says there’s an operational plan that could begin unfolding right after the midterms and totally reshape the political fight heading into 2028.

DataRepublican:

The past few days, I got my hands on thousands of new transcripts and hundreds of recordings, thanks to leads from @SKDoubleDub33 and @iamlisalogan.You’ve heard that the DSA is proposing structural reforms to America, including abolishing the Senate and imposing term limits.

What you not have heard is – there is an operational plan to put it all into action. If the Democratic Party sweeps 2026, then DSA will become “foot soldiers” in constant clashes with the administration to cross a “red line” or invoke a “doomsday scenario” – meaning, President Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, probably sometime in 2027.

Then, a lot of coordinated responses kick off, including delegitimizing the federal government itself and handing that legitimacy to Democratic governors. 2028 then becomes a vote on whether to keep America governance as-is or to burn it all down to appease a “young and brown” demographic.

The mysterious group who’s been coordinating 50501, Indivisible, and coordinating the NoKings protests is called “United Democracy Alliance” and their intellectual leader is Erica Chenoweth who came up with the 3.5% rule of nonviolent regime change.

Patience. I know I’ve hyped this more than anything else. It’s genuinely the biggest discovery I’ve had. This is an enormous archive. This is only the beginning.

I just ask you to pray to get the message out in the most impactful way possible. A mere 1 year ago, it would not have been possible for a human to connect all the dots in 7000 documents to reconstruct meetings from high-level, secretive, no-recordings alliances.

If you actually want to reclaim soveriegnty – learn everything about AI. Offload homeschooling, accounting, etc to AI to the greatest extent possible. AI/SI has made it possible for everyone to reclaim true sovereignty in the form of picking currencies, school curricula, etc. Choose accordingly.

There’s a lot to unpack, but the timing is crucial.

DR says a Deem sweep in November would set the stage for a much more aggressive confrontation with the Trump administration in 2027.

And like we mentioned earlier, that’s where the Insurrection Act comes into the picture.

The Insurrection Act is a federal law that allows the president to deploy military forces domestically under certain extraordinary circumstances, including serious unrest that obstructs enforcement of federal law.

Under this scenario DR says once that happens, the whole country will take a totally different turn.

Another X user offered a really clean, clear, blunt interpretation of DR’s findings.

Cynical Publius:

Let me break down what I’m seeing and hearing here from DR.

I don’t know DR’s source for these materials , but they appear completely legit and are profoundly disturbing.

These are leading members of the Democrat Party hatching up the following strategy:

1. After the midterms, use the DSA to incite and carry out violent civil unrest.

2. Make the violent civil unrest so bad that Trump must invoke the Insurrection Act.

3. Use the invocation of the Insurrection Act to create a national sense of illegitimacy whereby Democrat governors appear justified in taking the extreme action of refusing to acknowledge federal authority and push to form a new form of federal government via various means, including an Article V transformation of the Constitution.

Maybe there is more to this and it’s not as bad as it seems, but right now this appears to be a conspiracy to create the next Fort Sumter.

This is a CIA-style color revolution in real time, on our own soil.

(Of course the legacy media is nowhere near this–it takes us Internet randos to get the word out.)

Now, here’s where we need to understand what this would actually mean if the allegations are true.

Imagine a situation where Trump is dealing with really serious unrest… think Paris or Milan, and the rioting going on there. And it gets so out of control, he decides federal military intervention is necessary.

The strategy would then use that decision to argue that the federal government had become illegitimate, giving Dem governors a political opening to challenge Washington’s authority.

That’s the proposed trap. Trump responds to a crisis, and his response becomes the centerpiece of a campaign against his presidency.

Governors couldn’t just declare themselves the new federal government or rewrite the Constitution. But a political movement could attempt to use a major national crisis to build support for massive constitutional changes… something the Dems need if they want to continue on as a legit party.

And according to DR’s reporting, that new battle would carry over into the 2028 presidential election.

DataRepublican says she’s only starting to work through her archive, so we’ll be watching to see what happens.

Because if the evidence supports what she thinks it does, this could become one of the most consequential political stories of our lifetime.

And we’d much rather know about something like this before the elections than discover afterward that the red flags were there all along.

Revolver News

On the evening of Friday 2 October, Daria Shipilova, an employee of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute, died in a district hospital in the Russian city of Shelekhov. Her place of work, and the rumoured circumstances of her death, have triggered a public health emergency in the region and a slew of questions: did the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, kill Shipilova? Could this metastasise into a plague epidemic in Russia? Should we – abroad – be worried?

The Russian authorities have done their best to play down the link between the plague and Shipilova’s death. According to Russia’s public health watchdog, Rospotrebnadzor, Shipilova had been diagnosed with pneumonia of ‘unknown etiology’ – i.e. of unknown origin.

Irkutsk’s regional governor, Igor Kobzev, announced that a ‘particularly dangerous infection’ had been identified, without specifying a particular diagnosis. Later, Kobzev took to social media to insist that the situation in the region was ‘stable’ and that approximately 200 people who had recently interacted with Shipilova had been tracked down and were being monitored.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the authorities’ vague pronouncements on the incident, many questions remain unanswered about what killed Shipilova. Yersina pestis is, despite its mediaeval associations, still naturally occurring in Russia – although cases of human contraction are rare and can usually be treated quickly with antibiotics. Pneumonic plague is the most dangerous form of the disease: it can pass from person to person via respiratory particles, with symptoms appearing within 24 hours of infection. Incidentally, and somewhat eerily, the Irkutsk region is also where scientists hypothesise that plague first originated 5,000 years ago.

Shipilova had, according to some suggestions, recently conducted a study trip to the Mongolian border (where an outbreak of plague had been reported in August). Another rumour has suggested that Shipilova contracted the disease in Thailand – although given there have been no reported instances of the plague there, this theory doesn’t appear to have legs.

The leading theory as to how Shipilova may have contracted plague, if indeed that is what killed her, is, perhaps naturally, related to where she worked. Some reports have suggested that Shipilova may have broken a test tube containing the plague pathogen whilst working in her laboratory, contracting the disease that way. Nevertheless, some experts have subsequently pointed out that, given the expected nature of the personal protective equipment she would probably have been wearing to enter and work in the lab, infection in this way would seem very unlikely.

Adding to the confusion and growing alarm, Shelekhov city authorities first issued a warning advising against travel to the city, but this was deleted from social media just hours later. According to local media reports, five hospitals in the region have been placed under a three-week quarantine with doctors ‘openly talking about plague’. Ambulances transporting those who had been in contact with Shipilova for testing were, in some cases, reportedly accompanied by patrols from the FSB, Russia’s domestic security service. This has, among other things, prompted unsubstantiated rumours online that the lab Shipilova was working in was conducting classified government work, such as on a bio-weapon.

Rumours of the plague and the authorities’ lack of transparency are, unsurprisingly, causing unrest among locals. Antibiotics have reportedly sold out in pharmacies across the Irkutsk region, and people are stocking up on masks and hand sanitiser. Google searches for the word ‘чума’, meaning ‘plague’, have increased by approximately 2,800 per cent in the week from 29 September 29 to 5 October.

Yesterday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov urged the Russian public not to ‘listen to rumours’ and to instead follow advice from Rospotrebnadzor. But the authorities’ – frankly rather typical – obfuscation and evasive talk of ‘dangerous infections’ and ‘unknown etioligies’ has left a vacuum that has only too readily been filled with gossip and conspiracy. The public health body has since stated that ‘two cases of Covid-19 and two cases of rhinovirus infection have been identified’ among those associated with Shipilova – but at this stage it’s hard to know how much of this is the Russian state whirring into gear in an attempt to manipulate the narrative or a genuinely truthful statement.

With memories of the Covid pandemic still fresh in global memory, the European Union and America’s White House have both said that they are monitoring the situation. US president Donald Trump has even offered help to Russia in containing the spread of any disease should they need it. The Kremlin’s track record, however, on communicating both with the Russian population and foreign governments in times of crisis suggests there is little hope of transparency should this public health crisis in Irkutsk escalate. Plague or not, pigs will fly before Vladimir Putin publicly accepts Trump’s help in containing the spread of any disease.

They are finding it harder to reach the American Dream.

From a young age, we ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. Firefighter, doctor, president, mechanic, astronaut, teacher, actor—the list goes on.

Dreams shift as children discover their gifts, what they enjoy, and where the two overlap. The kid who wanted to be a doctor might change his mind after finding out he can design spaceships and likes math better than anatomy.

Allowing people to follow their dreams has always been an American aspiration and part of what makes our country exceptional. Yet today, one group of Americans—young men—is at risk of being shut out from their dreams, largely through no fault of their own.

Mountains of evidence show that our education system and economy are increasingly leaving boys and men behind. This is a national crisis our political leaders must urgently acknowledge and address.

For Exhibit A, simply look at the last 50 years of wage trends. Although earnings for women have steadily increased, nearly doubling in the last half-century, men’s wages have remained largely stagnant. Indeed, while the inflation-adjusted median full-time wage for women has grown by $21,750 since 1976, it has increased for men by only $7,570.

But it gets worse. In August, 98% of U.S. job growth went to women according to government statistics. While female employment has grown by 870,000 since last year, male employment has contracted by 1.5 million. Roughly one-third of men are not participating in the labor force, including over half of young men ages 16-24.

The same trend is happening in college participation. In the mid-1990s, American men and women ages 25-34 were equally likely to have completed college, but the gap has ballooned since then. Today, about 47% of young women have a bachelor’s degree compared to 37% of young men. Women make up about 55% of U.S. undergraduate enrollment, while men account for 40% (with the remaining 5% being unknown or unreported).

Male education and workforce success directly impact family formation. Women are more likely to marry a man with a steady income, and men are more likely to want to work if they have something to work toward. But couples are told to wait until they have financial stability before having kids, a goal that is increasingly difficult to reach, leading them to have fewer children.

And while feminists may cheer the number of women in the 9-to-5 work world, it has not come without a cost. As many observers (including Elizabeth Warren before she entered politics) have pointed out, more mothers entering the workforce has made households increasingly reliant on both parents working to stay afloat, creating a “two-income trap.” It is financially unfeasible for many women to stay home with their children, even when they want to.

Many factors have led us to the current status quo. American industrial and trade policy over the last half-century has shipped many blue-collar jobs overseas while driving down wages for those who remain. Economic policy influenced by feminism has convinced many women to invest in careers rather than family. But we should not overlook another important driver of young men’s present disadvantage: the rapid proliferation of DEI across society.

Jacob Savage’s essay in Compact magazine last December highlighted the devastating impact of the DEI regime on young men. Fittingly titled “The Lost Generation,” Savage chronicled how Millennial and Gen Z men over the last 10-15 years have found themselves chained to the same job, or without one entirely, while less qualified but more “diverse” employees rise in the ranks. This practice has run rampant across numerous industries—entertainment, academia, the medical field—with untold casualties.

What film masterpieces did we miss by passing over a promising writer for a more diverse candidate? What medical breakthroughs did we forgo to reach a quota? What discoveries, studies, and breakthroughs are missing from academia simply because the men who would have made them were unfairly denied the opportunity?

Fortunately, DEI has been in retreat lately, thanks in large part to the Trump Administration’s crackdown. DEI has also declined in popularity in the workforce, though it still boasts majority support amid widespread ignorance about its true consequences. Even so, DEI remains a powerful force that could regain greater influence if political conditions become more favorable.

Meanwhile, young men continue to suffer. A recent Institute for Family Studies survey found that about half of men ages 18-29 now see the American Dream as out of reach. Many have retreated into destructive pastimes such as pornography and gambling, while suicide rates have risen to record highs. The statistics are grim in every direction.

So where does this leave us?

Our young men are still dreaming as they did when they were little boys, but they are being forced to acknowledge that hard work may not be enough to achieve those dreams. In America especially—the country founded on the ability to get ahead and create something spectacular—this is a reality we should not tolerate.

The situation young men face is an issue lawmakers can no longer afford to ignore. We need an economy where men’s skills and contributions are valued and appropriately compensated. We also need to make it possible for a family to raise children on one income. There is no easy fix for these problems. It will necessarily involve a myriad of approaches, from fully eliminating DEI to bringing back blue-collar work and stabilizing our broken dollar, whose debasement undergirds so much of Americans’ current struggles.

To save the American Dream from today’s threats, we must tackle this challenge. We owe it to the next generation of boys who still dare to dream.

Terry Schilling, American Mind

The Supreme Court has agreed to weigh in on the constitutionality of an 1868 federal law that imposes a tax on distilled spirits but also bans home distilleries – that is, the at-home production of spirits like bourbon and whiskey. The penalties for violating the law include fines of up to $10,000, five years in prison, or both. In a list of orders from the justices’ Oct. 16 conference, the court announced that it had granted review in Department of Justice v. McNutt.

The justices will likely hear oral argument in the case early next year, with a decision to follow by late June or early July.

The lawsuit was filed in 2023 by a nonprofit, the Hobby Distillers Association, and some of its individual members, who want to be able to operate home distilleries. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruled that the ban on home distilleries violates two different provisions of the Constitution: the taxation clause, which gives Congress the power to “lay and collect Taxes … to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States”; and the necessary and proper clause, which gives Congress the power to “make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution” its listed powers.

The Constitution gives Congress the power to impose a tax on distilled spirits, the 5th Circuit determined, but it concluded that the ban on home distilleries exceeds that power. Not only does the ban not raise revenue, the court of appeals wrote, it prevents the production of spirits that could generate revenue. The court of appeals similarly rejected the government’s contention that the ban guards against tax evasion, explaining that “preventing activity lest it give rise to tax evasion places no limit whatsoever on Congress’s power under the taxation clause.”

The federal government came to the Supreme Court in August, asking the justices to weigh in. It contended that “[a] law is necessary and proper if it is ‘convenient’ or ‘useful’ for carrying an enumerated power into effect, and ‘plainly adapted’ to that legitimate end.” That is precisely what the ban on home distilleries does, the government argued. “Congress restricted home distilling because a distiller can more easily conceal a distilling operation or thwart necessary inspections—thereby evading the requisite tax—if the still is located in” a house or a structure attached to that house.

The challengers agreed that the court should grant review, although they urged the justices to leave the 5th Circuit’s ruling in place. The case, they said, “presents fundamental questions of the extent of federal power and the powers reserved to the states and the people.”

In a separate case, Ream v. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit reached the opposite conclusion from the 5th Circuit, holding that the ban on home distilleries is a necessary and proper exercise of Congress’s power to collect the federal tax on distilled spirits. John Ream, a retired aerospace engineer and the owner of a brewery who wants to be able to distill his own spirits, then came to the Supreme Court in July, asking the justices to weigh in on the legality of the ban and on the broader question of Congress’ power to regulate “local, noncommercial conduct.”

The federal government agreed that the justices should take up the question at the center of Ream’s petition for review, but it urged the court to grant its own petition, in McNutt, instead. On Monday, the justices did just that.

While several Democrats have declared that Republican predictions that voting for Democrats will lead to Medicare benefits being given to illegal aliens are a lie, Sen. Bernie Sanders’ “Medicare for All” legislation would do exactly that. Sanders asserted that “medical care is a human right that must be provided to all humans regardless of their citizenship. Republican efforts to restrict these benefits to only US citizens is a crime against humanity.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) still insisted that “Republicans are lying. Right now there is nothing in the existing law that authorizes giving these benefits to undocumented immigrants. The implication that our Party would violate the law to give aid to those not entitled to it is a smear tactic.”

Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn) echoed Warren’s claim, saying “of course Republicans are lying. Federal law today says health insurance benefits cannot be used by people who are undocumented, who are not here legally. That is the law. There is nothing that we are currently trying to do to change that law.”

Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md) said “the claim that Democrats want to provide health care for illegals is a big lie. I want to remind everyone that Sen. Sanders is not a Democrat. He is an Independent. Democrats cannot be held responsible for his ‘Medicare for All’ bill. We may end up voting for it in the next Congress, but it is wrong for Republicans to try to use this future possibility against Democrats in this year’s election to try to scare voters into voting against us.”

The Democrat nominee for US Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, has made “Medicare for All” — including illegal aliens — a major campaign promise. Eighteen Senate Democrats, including Warren, Smith, and Van Hollen are co-sponsors of Sanders’ bill. This evidence seems to verify the Republican claim that voting Democrats into a majority in Congress would lead to enactment of legislation granting federal Medicare and Medicaid benefits to illegal aliens.

In related news, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill) is sponsoring a “Reimagining Safety Act” that would replace the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with a new Department of Community Safety (DCS) and eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). “It’s time we ended the persecution and put out the welcome mat that former President Biden laid out for the brave individuals who endured perilous journeys to come and share in the wealth our country has accumulated,” she said. Co-sponsors of her bill include Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich), Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz), and Jim McGovern (D-Mass).

Democratic socialists” are going door to door today where I live, in a Republican district. They’re demanding you vote for the candidate who supports a “guaranteed income.”

Curious concept. An income is something you EARN. Somebody WILLINGLY pays you money in exchange for goods or services you WILLINGLY provide.

They’re demanding it as an entitlement, coerced from those who earn for those who did not earn it. It’s theft, and it’s fraud. The gullible, the parasites and those with more than enough money to care fall for it.

The rest of us get screwed under Communism.

To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:

Do not blame the French people for this.

We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.

Here are the numbers your media won’t show you.

70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government’s record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it’s not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.

That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.

So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.

In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: “We penetrate the cabinets.” He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.

It’s the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.

What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.

The peoples of Europe don’t want this. They never did.

So when you see our town halls burning, don’t say “the French chose this.”

The French never chose this.

They were forced into it.

If you’re French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.

If you’re American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd. https://x.com/MisterKraKra/s 

More than 1,100 Bengali Muslim families have been rendered homeless in a two-day eviction drive across Assam’s Nagaon, Hojai and Golaghat districts, with authorities demolishing homes and reportedly razing more than 10 mosques, some of them over 50 years old.

According to media reports, on Sunday, the second day of the operation, authorities demolished the homes of more than 600 Muslim families in the Lutumari Longjap Reserve Forest in Nagaon district, claiming that the structures had been built on encroached forest land.

A day earlier, 547 families were evicted under tight security across the three districts — 336 in Nagaon, 152 in Hojai and 59 in Golaghat.

While the administration maintains that the homes and mosques stood on encroached land, residents have disputed the claim, saying their families had originally worked as labourers for the Forest Department and were settled in the area by the government itself, according to a report by Scroll.in.

“We were settled by the government in 1974,” Abdul Noor, a 44-year-old resident whose house was demolished on Sunday, said.

Noor said his forefathers were landless people from nearby Juria and were among 300 families who had each been allotted four bighas of land. The residents had challenged the eviction in the Gauhati High Court but failed to obtain relief, he added.

Noor also claimed that more than 10 mosques, some of them over five decades old, had been razed during the operation, raising concerns about the destruction of long-standing places of worship alongside residential structures.

Forest Workers’ Settlements Disputed

In June, the All India Union of Forest Working People had urged the Assam government to halt the eviction drive, arguing that residents of four villages in the reserve had been settled under the taungya system and should not be treated as ordinary encroachers.

The villages are Kandarpa Longjap, Padumoni, Hatijur and No. 9 Kheroni.

Introduced by the British in the mid-19th century, the taungya system allowed forest workers to cultivate food crops alongside commercially valuable trees while working for the Forest Department. Citing a Forest Department communication dated June 7, 1974, the union argued that the settlements in the Kaki and Lutumari Longjap reserves had a historical basis.

The residents’ claims raise questions about the treatment of long-established forest settlements and whether their historical circumstances were adequately considered before the demolitions. The available account does not establish whether the administration addressed these claims before proceeding with the eviction drive.

Earlier Evictions Affected 1,700 Families

The latest operation follows another eviction drive in a separate part of the larger Lutumari reserve in November last year, when around 1,700 families were affected across nearly 800 hectares.

According to data compiled by Scroll.in from the Revenue Department and district authorities, around 19,000 families, most of them Muslim, have been evicted from government land during the decade of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) rule in Assam.

The latest drive has affected forest areas in all three districts, displacing families whose homes were demolished under the administration’s anti-encroachment campaign.

In Hojai, authorities demolished 152 households in the Jamuna-Maudanga Reserve Forest and cleared around 525 bighas of land. In Golaghat, the houses of the last 59 families at No. 2 Negheribil in the Merapani area were demolished.

In Nagaon’s Borpani Reserve Forest, the 336 affected families occupied around 216 hectares of land. Residents alleged that they were not given sufficient time to remove their belongings before the demolition operation beganThe evictions have once again brought the Assam government’s land-clearance campaign under scrutiny, particularly over the displacement of large numbers of Muslim families and allegations that long-established settlements have been treated as encroachments. The central questions remain whether the residents’ claims of government-backed settlement were adequately examined and what rehabilitation, if any, has been offered to those rendered homeless.

Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff is leading the rise of the rude Democrat. More should follow his lead.

In recent weeks, I’ve been fortunate enough to observe two competing visions for Democratic senators should they retake the upper chamber in next month’s midterm elections. On the one hand, we have Senators Martin Heinrich and Sheldon Whitehouse, who announced at the end of September that they were teaming up with their Republican counterparts Mike Lee and Shelley Moore Capito on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, which the quartet believe will “reform the federal environmental review and permitting process.” Per their press release, “This groundbreaking agreement will deliver cheaper energy, more jobs, and responsible growth across the United States.”

On the other hand, we have Senator Jon Ossoff, who has taken the debate stage twice in recent days to tell his Republican opponent to his face that he’s a racist scumbag.

My paraphrasing here is more blunt than the rhetoric that Ossoff has been using, but only just. In the pair’s first debate, Ossoff threw daggers, accusing Representative Mike Collins of hiring “half the Third Reich to staff [his] congressional office,” adding, “If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club.” During Tuesday night’s debate, an embittered Collins tried to play the civility card, claiming that Ossoff’s incendiary statements about Collins’s very real embrace of white supremacy had led to death threats. Ossoff breezily brushed away the accusation and went back for more. Referring to Collins’s son-in-law, a white-nationalist influencer, Ossoff jabbed: “Can you commit for just three weeks to stop the production of neo-Nazi propaganda from your home?”

This is like watching a fever finally break, and it’s not just Ossoff. In the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed has gone at Mike Rogers with both barrels, repeatedly referring to the former congressman as weak and cowardly. In Maine … well, let’s just say that I wished Troy Jackson had a bit of that dog in him, but he doesn’t. Still, I can tell he’s trying, and his better moments against Senator Susan Collins, like telling her “You can’t eat road salt,” at least have a bit of a surly edge. At any rate, the rise of rude Democrats has got me believing in the potential cure for one of our greatest civic maladies: degenerative Senate brain, the very condition that leads a Sheldon Whitehouse or a Martin Heinrich to work with MAGA filth bent on desecrating the constitutional order.
