October 17, 2024 Supreme Court REMOVES Jill Stein From Nevada Ballot
The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid to put Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on the Nevada general election ballot, leaving in place a lower court decision that excluded the party from the vote.
The Supreme Court denied a request from the Nevada Green Party to toss out a lower court injunction that blocked its candidates from appearing on the general election ballot. There were no noted dissents.
The dispute involving the Nevada Green Party was brought by the Nevada State Democratic Party, which sued in June to challenge the Green Party's access to the ballot. Nevada Democrats claimed the Green Party, a minor political party in the state, used the wrong form to gather signatures to get on the ballot, rendering them invalid.
The Green Party had been inadvertently emailed the incorrect form by the Nevada Secretary of State's Office after its original petition contained a technical error.

October 16, 2024 🚨BREAKING: Israel Prepares For A Ground INVASION Of Lebanon - Ceasefire Deal Rejected
Israel’s military chief told troops on Wednesday that its airstrikes in Lebanon were aiming to destroy Hezbollah’s infrastructure and to pave the way for a possible ground incursion by Israeli forces.
The goal of the incursion is to allow the tens of thousands of Israelis who have been displaced by cross-border fire in the north of the country to return to their homes, Halevi said.
“To achieve that, we are preparing the process of a maneuver,” he said. “It means your military boots, your maneuvering boots, will enter enemy territory, enter villages that Hezbollah has prepared as large military outposts.”

October 15, 2024 Another Politician Caught Taking Money From A Foreign Government - Eric Adams Faces Federal Charges
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, according to a 57-page indictment unsealed Thursday morning.
The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough president.
Specifically, Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later in exchange pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, the indictment says.

October 15, 2024 Over 600 Civilians Dead As Israel Launches MASSIVE STRIKE Into Lebanon
At least 569 people, including 50 children, have been killed and 1,835 wounded in Israel’s fierce bombardment of various parts of Lebanon, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah fired a barrage of missiles at Israeli air bases and attacked a naval base with drones in response as world leaders and the United Nations called for urgent de-escalation.
Israel’s top army commander tells troops: “Your entry will show Hezbollah what it’s like to meet a professional combat force,” as he touts a “possible” ground invasion of southern Lebanon.

October 11, 2024 CONTROVERSY: Jill Stein Refuses To Call Vladimir Putin A “War Criminal”
Green Party candidate Jill Stein is facing backlash after a video went viral in which she refused to call Russian President Vladimir Putin a war criminal.
In an interview released by Zeteo on Monday, host Mehdi Hasan grilled Stein on Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in which tens of thousands of Ukrainians have died, before alleging that she has not called out the Russian president for attacks on civilians.
"We looked at your social media and you haven't done that many posts specifically calling out Russian attacks on civilian areas," Hasan said. "You haven't called Vladimir Putin a war criminal, but you have called Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal."

October 09, 2024 HISTORIC VOTE - UN Says Israel Must RETREAT From All Palestinian Land
With a recorded vote of 124 nations in favour, 14 against, and 43 abstentions, the resolution calls for Israel to comply with international law and withdraw its military forces, immediately cease all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from occupied land, and dismantle parts of the separation wall it constructed inside the occupied West Bank.
The General Assembly further demanded that Israel return land and other “immovable property”, as well as all assets seized since the occupation began in 1967, and all cultural property and assets taken from Palestinians and Palestinian institutions.
The resolution also demands Israel allow all Palestinians displaced during the occupation to return to their place of origin and make reparation for the damage caused by its occupation.

October 08, 2024 Germany Moves To Stop 🛑 Sending WEAPONS To Israel - What’s Next?
Germany has put a hold on new exports of weapons of war to Israel while it deals with legal challenges, according to a Reuters analysis of data and a source close to the Economy Ministry.
A source close to the ministry cited a senior government official as saying it had stopped work on approving export licences for arms to Israel due to legal and political pressure from legal cases arguing that such exports from Germany breached humanitarian law.
The Economy Ministry has not responded to requests for comment. However, the German government did issue a statement after the Reuters story was published.
"There is no German arms export boycott against Israel," government spokesperson Steffen Hebestreit said.

October 07, 2024 Jill Stein DEFEATS Democratic Party Effort To Keep Her Off The Ballot In Georgia
An administrative law judge is set to decide whether Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s name will appear on Georgia ballots in November following challenges by the Democratic Party.
Stein’s application seeks to use a new Georgia law that allows a political party to get on the state ballot if the party is on the ballot in at least 20 other states. Democrats say Stein’s application, filed by the Georgia Green Party, is invalid because the Georgia branch is not affiliated with the national Green Party.

October 03, 2024 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT - Donald Trump Is Once Again Targeted By A Gunman
Donald Trump was the target of what the FBI said “appears to be an attempted assassination” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life. The former president said he was safe and well, and authorities held a man in custody.
U.S. Secret Service agents stationed a few holes up from where Trump was playing noticed the muzzle of an AK-style rifle sticking through the shrubbery that lines the course, roughly 400 yards away.
In an email to supporters, Trump said: “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” He wrote: “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER!”

September 25, 2024 RFK Jr FORCES Ballots To Be Reprinted In North Carolina After SUPREME COURT Ruling
North Carolina’s Supreme Court ruled Monday that the State Board of Elections must reprint presidential ballots to remove former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from the ticket.
The decision marks a significant win for Kennedy, who suspended his campaign in critical swing states more than two weeks ago and subsequently endorsed former President Trump. The independent candidate has since launched an effort to remove his name from ballots in the battleground states where the race is expected to be close in November — a move aimed at boosting Trump’s support.
In the 4-3 decision Monday, the state’s top court said it was clear that Kennedy ended his campaign and that a vote for him would not count. The order stressed the importance of protecting the right to vote over other concerns.
