Biden: I'm not confident at all there will be a peaceful transfer of power

US President tells CBS in interview to air on Sunday he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January if Trump loses the election this fall.

US President Joe Biden said in a new interview that he is “not confident at all” that there will be a peaceful transfer of power in January if former President Donald Trump loses the election this fall. "If Trump loses, I'm not confident at all," Biden told CBS News when asked if he was confident that power would be peacefully transferred in January 2025. The President also claimed that people were not taking Trump’s past comments about a “bloodbath” seriously. “He means it, all the stuff about if we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath,” Biden said. “You can’t love your country only when you win.”

Video: Democrat congressman calls for ‘civil war conditions,’ to disqualify Trump if he wins

A resurfaced video shows Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) unveiling a plan for Congress to implement “civil war conditions” and disqualify former President Donald Trump if he wins the November presidential election.

According to Legal Insurrection, Raskin’s comments were given in February during an appearance at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C., prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling that individual states could not prohibit Trump from appearing on the ballot by using the 14th Amendment. The Maryland Democrat claimed that if the Supreme Court ruled that states could not remove Trump from the ballot, then Congress would have to act to disqualify the former president from a second term in the White House.

Kamala Running Mate Tim Walz Signed Civil Rights Bill That Removed Anti-Pedo Language

Last year, Governor Tim Walz (D-MN)—Kamala Harris‘ 2024 vice presidential running mate—signed sweeping civil rights legislation that designated “gender identity” as a legally protected class, along with other changes.

However, buried in the bill was amended language, which removed text from existing Minnesota law that specifically states those sexually attracted to children are not considered to be part of a legally protected group for the purposes of employment discrimination. The amended language, which could pave the way for pedophiles to receive employment protections, was authored by state Representative Leigh Finke (D), a transgender male who claims to be a woman. Finke’s amendment specifically struck language reading: ‘”Sexual orientation’ does not include a physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult.”

US military pushed out of foreign country amid ongoing terrorism, instability

U.S. military forces were forced out of Airbase 201 in Agadez, Niger on Monday. Prior to the U.S. military’s withdrawal, Airbase 101 served as an important base for counterterrorism efforts in the region.

In a joint statement released on Monday by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Department of National Defense of the Republic of Niger, officials noted that the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Niger was initiated in May after the two countries finalized withdrawal conditions. “The U.S. Department of Defense and the Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Niger announce that the withdrawal of U.S. forces and assets from Air Base 201 in Agadez is complete,” officials said in Monday’s statement. Officials added that coordination between the U.S. military and the Nigerien military will continue “over the coming weeks to ensure the full withdrawal is complete as planned.”

More U.S. Personnel Injured in Middle East Base Attacks Under Biden-Harris

At least five U.S. personnel were injured on Monday in an attack on a military base in Iraq, according to U.S. officials.

The incident comes amid high tensions in the Middle East due to senior members of militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah dying in Israeli strikes last week. Two Katyusha rockets hit al-Asad airbase in western Iraq, per Iraqi security sources. Any connections between the attack and Iran’s threats to retaliate for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh remain unclear. Speaking anonymously, U.S. officials confessed that one American sustained severe injuries and warned the initial casualty reports may change. Base personnel are currently assessing the damage post-attack.

Israel Vows To Eliminate New Hamas Chief Sinwar, Seen As Even Closer To Tehran

Israel has vowed to "eliminate" new Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar, who just yesterday was announced as the new political leader of Hamas, replacing the slain Ismail Haniyeh, killed in Tehran by an Israeli covert assassination operation on July 31st.

Among some alernative possible options for the top leadership spot were candidates deemed 'moderate' by comparison, but Hamas' choosing Sinwar is intended to send a firm message that the Gaza-based organization will "continue its path of resistance," according to a statement. Sinwar, who was Hamas military leader in Gaza since 2017, is considered the mastermind behind the Oct.7 terror attack on southern Israel. He is also seen as closer to Tehran compared to the late Haniyeh, who had lived in Qatar. Few outsiders have laid eyes on Sinwar in years, and it's widely believed he's been commanding operations from tunnels deep below Gaza throughout the war which is now in its 11th month.

Israel said to believe Hezbollah will respond before Iran to deaths of terror chiefs

CNN says Lebanese terror group seems increasingly set to launch attack ‘independent’ of its Iranian patron; Israel reportedly warns of disproportionate response if civilians hurt

Israeli officials increasingly believe it will be Hezbollah, rather than Iran, that will be first to launch a major attack on Israel in the coming days, according to Hebrew media reports Wednesday. Citing two sources familiar with intelligence on the matter, CNN reported that Hezbollah appears increasingly set to act against Israel “independent” of an expected Iranian response to the recent killings of the Lebanese terror group’s top military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut and Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

They can’t even imagine what might happen,” Gallant said during a visit to troops of the 646th Reserve Paratroopers Brigade. “This may also deteriorate into a war. It’s not theoretical, it’s real,” he added, according to a statement from his office.

Israel 'cannot be saved from annihilation,' says Iranian army commander

“We believe that this child-killing Israeli regime is nearing its end. History shows that anyone who rules with oppression will not remain in power and will be annihilated ASAP."

Israel will soon be met with "a strong and definite response" to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Chief Commander of the Iranian Army Abdolrahim Mousavi said on Wednesday, according to Iranian news sites. According to IFP News, Mousavi was speaking at a ceremony commemorating Journalist's Day in Bandar Abbas, a port city in Southern Iran. “The Zionist regime will soon receive a strong and definite response, and there is no doubt about it," Mousavi reportedly said, according to IRNA and Tasnim. 

Netanyahu warns of proactive attack as Tehran speaks of Israel’s annihilation

American officials ask for de-escalation and Egypt asks its airlines to avoid Iranian airspace.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran and Hezbollah of proactive attacks, while Tehran spoke of the Jewish state’s annihilation and the region braced for the possibility of a second direct confrontation between the two arch-foes. “We are prepared both defensively and offensively,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated during a visit Wednesday to the IDF induction base at Tel Hashomer. “I know that the citizens of Israel are concerned, and I ask one thing of you: Be patient and level-headed,” he said.“We are striking our enemies and are determined to defend ourselves.”

Report: Iran not planning to attack Israel in the near future

US officials tell Politico that Iran may be 'rethinking' its plan to launch multi-pronged attack on Israel.

Two senior US officials have told Politico that Iran has decided against conducting a direct attack on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh last week in Tehran. According to the Wednesday report, Tehran is now convinced that Haniyeh was killed when someone activated a remot-controlled bomb in the room where he was staying, and not in a direct military operation. Washington stressed to Tehran that such an action, so long as no Iranian citizens were killed, does not justify a direct military operation against Israel.

Migrants are on the rampage in most UK cities... the entire country is being held hostage

Cops Admit They Abandoned England’s Second City to Muslim Mob Because ‘Community Leaders’ Said Demo Would Be ‘Policed Within Themselves.’

British police admit Birmingham, England’s second city, was essentially abandoned to a violent Muslim mob on Monday because “community leaders” told them in advance that their demonstration would be “policed within themselves.”

“[W]e have really strong business and community relations, and… we had the opportunity to meet with community leaders [before the demonstration] to kind of understand the style of policing that we needed to deliver,” said Superintendent Emlyn Richards, for West Midlands Police. Journalists who were chased from the area by aggressive, armed Muslims “for miles” described the “style of policing” on the day as officers simply surrendering the streets to the mob, which besieged a pub and violently assaulted a customer seemingly for no other reason than that he was a white person in Birmingham.

Chief Prosecutor Warns ‘Dedicated Police Officers’ Are ‘Scouring Social Media’ to Arrest People for Retweets

Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions of England and Wales (DPP) under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer—himself a former DPP—warns police officers tasked solely with hunting down people being racially offensive amid the anti-mass migration protests gripping the country, even if all they do is repost others’ content.

“The offense of incitement to racial hatred involves publishing or distributing material which is insulting or abusive, which is intended to or likely to stir up racial hatred,” Parkinson said. He warned, “If you retweet that, you’re republishing it, and potentially, you’re committing that offense.”

Finance guru who’s beaten Wall Street for 25 years makes doomsday prediction about future of California

The financial guru who correctly predicted the disastrous Lehman Brothers collapse in 2008 offered a dismal outlook on the future of California.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is known for making hyperbolic predictions about the US economy – and this time he has a grim prognosis for the most populous state in the nation. ‘The problem is California is going broke,’ he wrote on X. ‘California will begin raising taxes and cutting subsidies to the poor, to prisons, environmental problems, and teachers unions. That means crime will spread as police will be cut.’ He believes even Americans who don’t live in the Golden State should care about its prospects because it’s a bell weather for the rest of the country.
