In yet another alarming example of crumbling infrastructure under the Biden administration, millions of Verizon customers were left stranded without cell service on Monday as one of the nation’s largest telecom networks went dark.

Verizon Communications experienced a massive outage, causing significant disruptions in major cities across the country.

According to Downdetector, a platform that tracks outages through user-submitted reports, over 100,000 incidents of service disruptions were reported.

However, many are speculating that millions of Verizon users were actually impacted, with widespread reports of individuals unable to make phone calls, send text messages, or access the internet.

Apple users, in particular, were left in “SOS mode,” meaning they were completely cut off from communication.

The outage affected major cities such as Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, Indianapolis, Seattle, Omaha, Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, and Los Angeles.

Verizon’s failure to quickly address the issue has only added to the frustration. Despite the nationwide chaos, the company has yet to release a formal public statement.

In a brief statement to Time, a spokesperson for Verizon offered little more than the standard corporate line: “We are aware of an issue impacting service for some customers. Our engineers are engaged, and we are working quickly to identify and solve the issue.”

The outage comes after Verizon reached a deal to sell mobile towers to infrastructure firm Vertical Bridge.

According to the news release:

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) and Vertical Bridge today announced they have entered into a definitive agreement for Vertical Bridge to obtain the exclusive rights to lease, operate and manage 6,339 wireless communications towers across all 50 states and Washington, D.C. from subsidiaries of Verizon for approximately $3.3 billion, including certain commercial benefits.

The transaction is structured as a prepaid lease with upfront proceeds of approximately $2.8 billion in cash.

Under the terms, Verizon will enter into a 10-year agreement1 to lease back capacity on the towers from Vertical Bridge, serving as the anchor tenant, with options that could extend the lease term up to 50 years.

Verizon will also have access to certain additional space on the towers for its future use, subject to certain restrictions.

This agreement, along with Verizon’s existing build-to-suit joint venture with Vertical Bridge, will support Verizon’s efforts to drive down tower-related costs and provide greater vendor diversity in a concentrated industry.

Japan’s Fumio Kishida, Germany’s Olaf Scholz and Canada’s Justin Trudeau.

Around the world – be it in the Americas, in Europe, or in Asia – citizens are quite fed-up with Globalist leaders and their failed, crippling policies that keep their countries away from social harmony and economic development.

So, now, there’s a new planetary neologism that encapsulates the longings of these citizens. It’s a call for these non-leaders to ‘do the Biden’ – and it’s catching up fast!

In several US-allied countries, we can see people starting to ask why their own leaders aren’t ‘doing the Biden’ and stepping aside so that someone else can take over.

New York Post reported:

“President Biden, 81, made history in July by dropping his reelection bid under intense pressure, and now demands for some other world leaders to follow suit and skedaddle from office are taking hold using variations of the new catchphrase.”

In particular, there are three allied countries where the people at the helm are plagued by very low approval ratings and are facing elections in the not-too-distant future: the least popular German Chancellor in history Olaf Scholz, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and embattled Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“Earlier this month, German news outlet Der Spiegel asked, ‘Why isn’t Scholz doing a Biden?’ while highlighting how Scholz’s coalition has been battered by regional election losses.

‘The chancellor could follow the example of US President Joe Biden: Instead of clinging to power and letting himself be taken apart piece by piece in the coming months, he is clearing the way for a new political start’, the outlet wrote.

Over the summer, Canadian broadcaster CBC also pondered, ‘Could Trudeau go next’ in the wake of Biden’s seismic decision to bow out of the 2024 US presidential race.”

Trudeau still insists to remain at the head of his Liberal Party.

Fumio Kishida was also said in the press to be ‘having a Biden moment’ after he stepped down at the helm of his party, the Liberal Democratic Party.

“’Biden is out, and Kishida should retire quickly and honorably, too’, a LDP official said to Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun. A member of Kishida’s cabinet also suggested to the Japan Times: ‘We need to closely watch the impact of [Biden’s withdrawal] on the party leadership race’.”

All these Globalist regimes (US, Germany, Canada, and Japan) have been grappling with cost-of-living issues and low (or zero) economic growth.

Biden has a close rapport with Trudeau, Kishida, and Scholz and shares many of the same disastrous principles and policies.

Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin(D-MI), who is running for Senate in Michigan, has admitted she is not feeling good about Kamala Harris’s prospects in her state.

According to a report from Axios, Slotkin’s campaign has carried out internal polling that has found Harris is “underwater” among likely voters.

The report states:

Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) warned donors last week that internal polling for her Senate campaign shows Vice President Kamala Harris is “underwater” in Michigan, according to a video clip obtained by Axios.

…

“I’m not feeling my best right now about where we are on Kamala Harris in a place like Michigan,” Slotkin said during a virtual fundraiser on Wednesday with Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), according to a recording.

“We have her underwater in our polling,” Slotkin added. Spokespeople for Slotkin’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Slotkin, who currently represents Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, is running against former Rep. Mike Rogers. If Republicans are successful, that would almost certainly guarantee control of the Senate.

On top of being a crucial swing state with a significant number of electoral votes, Michigan has become particularly problematic for Kamala Harris’s campaign because of the state’s large Muslim population.

Many of them remain furious with Biden and Harris over their lukewarm support for Israel and what they consider their complicity in a genocide in Gaza.

During the rigged Democratic primary back in February, in which the party made it incredibly difficult for anyone to stand against Joe Biden, over 100,000 people voted “uncommitted” against him mainly because of his stance on Israel, around 13 percent of the total turnout.

If the election comes down to the wire and some of those 100,000 refuse to turn out for Harris, as many have indicated will be the case, it could potentially hand the state and the keys to the White House to Donald Trump.

DEI VP Kamala Harris FINALLY made it down to the Southern Border over the weekend on Friday. She went down to Douglas, Arizona, and spent only 20 minutes talking to a couple of officers while wearing high heels and what appears to be a $62,000 dollar Tiffany necklace for a quick photo op. Users on social media quickly ripped her apart for the clearly staged photo-op on top of neglecting the open border massacre for the past nearly 4 years.

ANGEL mothers, the Border Patrol Union, Arizona locals and ranchers, the Trump Campaign, and members of the media all in unison quickly called Kamala Harris out for the ridiculous display of hypocrisy.

She also spoke at Cochise College in Douglas, Arizona, and gave one of the most gaslighting speeches she has given to date.

In her stump speech, she went from claiming during his first administration, President Trump did NOTHING to secure the southern border to holding America’s border security hostage by declaring unless she is elected President, she will not make securing the southern border a priority.

As we all know, she is VP NOW and can shut down the border alongside Joe Biden via executive order.

The Southeastern United States was plunged into devastation after Category 4 Hurricane Helene, the strongest hurricane to ever strike Florida’s Big Bend region, unleashed catastrophic destruction across six states.

Helene’s ferocious winds and torrential rains have claimed at least 95 lives, left millions without power, and trapped countless families in floodwaters, particularly in North Carolina, where entire communities have been cut off from vital resources.

The death toll continues to rise, with North Carolina being hit the hardest, reporting at least 36 casualties. South Carolina follows closely with 25 confirmed deaths, including two firefighters who died in Saluda County, according to CNN.

In Georgia, 17 lives were lost, two of them victims of a tornado that swept through Alamo. In Florida, 11 fatalities have been confirmed, with many occurring in Pinellas County, where flash floods overtook entire neighborhoods.

Tennessee and Virginia have also reported deaths, with four in Tennessee and two in Virginia, as rescue operations remain ongoing.

In the hardest-hit areas of North Carolina, floodwaters have ravaged entire neighborhoods. Families are stranded without food, water, or power.

Joe Biden was asked about the devastation on Sunday and government assistance to the storm ravaged region.

Old Joe’s response, “We’ve given all we have.”

Here is the full transcript:

Reporter: Do you have a few words for the victims of the devastation?

Joe Biden: Yes. As a matter of fact, we’re trying to get the exact number. My FEMA advisors on the ground in Florida right now. There’s a distinction between the numbers that FEMA’s used and the ones that are used by the locals. So it really is amazing. You saw the photographs. It’s stunning. It’s unbelievable. It really is. It really is. So many…

Reporter: It’s such a wide area.

Joe Biden: We’ve given them all… Everything that we have, we’re on the ground ahead of time. So we’re working hard.

Female reporter: Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?

Joe Biden: No, we’ve given them… We have pre-planned a significant amount of it, even though they didn’t ask for it yet. They hadn’t asked for it yet.

Sorry, chumps. You’re on your own.

“Do you have any words to the victims of the hurricane?”

BIDEN: “We’ve given everything that we have.”

“Are there any more resources the federal government could be giving them?”

BIDEN: “No.” pic.twitter.com/jDMNGhpjOz

Jaguar Wright blasts Kamala Harris while endorsing Donald Trump (Credit: RealLyfe Productions/Youtube)

In a recent explosive interview on the Reallyfe Street Starz podcast, American singer Jaguar Wright did not hold back when discussing politics and why she believes former President Donald Trump must win the upcoming election.

Known for her raw opinions and unfiltered commentary, Wright, who rose to fame after working with The Roots and Jay-Z, is no stranger to controversy.

Recently, she has been making headlines in connection with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

In 2022, Wright publicly called out “Diddy” during a broader discussion about the “dark side of the music industry.”

She claimed to have attended “Diddy’s parties,” witnessing their operations firsthand, and even suggested that she was there to help potential victims at these gatherings.

During the interview, when asked who she thought should win the upcoming election, Wright didn’t hold back, expressing strong support for Trump while absolutely tearing into Kamala Harris.

Wright went on to criticize the Democratic National Committee (DNC), claiming they were dishonest and manipulative, with their policies only serving to degrade the nation.

Jaguar Wright: I never thought I’d reach the point where I’d sympathize with Donald Trump. But damn, Trump really has my sympathy right now because, for the first time, he’s telling the truth, and nobody’s listening.

Interviewer: You have a track record of knowing what’s coming, like with what you said about Diddy. Who do you think wins the election?

Jaguar Wright: Honestly, it has to be Trump. It just has to be. If we vote DNC, we’re voting for liars. The DNC is lying… this situation isn’t cute. The world is watching us and laughing and no respect.

Her biggest target, however, was Kamala Harris, whom she accused of being inauthentic and using her identity to garner votes rather than offering real solutions.

Jaguar Wright: Joe Brown has been talking nonsense, and nobody’s hit him with a gag order or threatened him with defamation, which means only one thing—he’s not lying. So if he’s not lying about [Kamala], why do we want her to be president?

They’re going to use everything about her against us. She’s too busy f—king around with everyone in the cabinet to run the country. That’s what they’ll say—they’ll attack her sexuality.

Who else is involved? Montel [Williams]? Why do we want that? They want the Black vote, the female vote, to inflame and enrage. ‘Vote for Kamala so the next time something horrible happens, like my dad rapes me, I can get an abortion quickly.’ That’s what we’re voting for.

She claimed Harris is more interested in playing politics than delivering tangible results, setting the stage for future disappointment.

Jaguar Wright: I just don’t think she’s honest. If she really wanted to run on merit, she’d stop pretending to be African-American and asking African-Americans to carry her across the finish line. Because a year from now, if she wins, she’s going to disappoint us, and we’ll all be talking bad about her. But maybe that’s the plan.

Jaguar Wright didn’t stop there. She ridiculed Harris’s attempt to use pop culture and symbolism to connect with voters, specifically criticizing her use of Beyoncé’s “Freedom” as campaign music.

“She’s asking for freedom from Toosii, not tyranny,” Wright quipped. “The simple fact that you find anything in common with a witch, with a woman who was charged in court with practicing extreme witchcraft. That’s your theme music.”

Toosii is an American rapper and singer, and “Witchcraft” is one of his songs released in 2020.

WATCH:

HOLY SH*T!!!! Jaguar Wright ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Kamala Harris and shares why Trump HAS TO WIN

“Trump really has my sympathy right now … he really is telling the truth and nobody’s listening.”

The right-populist Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) won first place in Austria’s parliamentary elections on Sunday, almost doubling their seat count. The election marks the first time that the FPÖ has won a parliamentary election.

The FPÖ earned 28.8 percent of the vote and 56 of the 183 seats in Austria’s dominant lower house, the National Council. This was a significant increase from their results in the previous election, in 2019, which saw them win only 16.2 percent and 31 seats. 

By contrast, the Atlanticist governing coalition of the centrist Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) and the Greens lost their majority. The ÖVP fell from 37.5 percent of the vote and 71 seats to 26.3 percent and 52 seats. The Greens dropped from 13.9 percent of the vote and 26 seats to 8.3 percent of the vote and 16 seats.

The issue of aid to Ukraine played a significant role in the campaign. The FPÖ ran on cutting aid to Ukraine and abandoning sanctions against Russia, both of which it views as violations of Austria’s long-standing neutrality. The deputies of the FPÖ had walked out of a speech given to the Austrian parliament by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2021. Despite geopolitical neutrality being enshrined in Austria’s constitution, the governing ÖVP-Green coalition had given over €250 million to Ukraine over the course of the conflict.

Another important issue in the campaign was immigration with the FPÖ supporting further immigration restriction and remigration, including the creation of a “Remigration Commissioner” for the European Union. “What I have noticed in the last few weeks during the election campaign is that there is above all a need for sensible migration policy, that there is a need for remigration,” FPÖ General Secretary Christian Hafenecker told the press in June, following the FPÖ’s victory in June’s European elections.

Even with its election win, it is unclear whether the FPÖ will be able to form a governing coalition. While it has formed coalitions with the ÖVP in the past, it has only done so as a junior partner. Meanwhile, ÖVP has stated its refusal to support the FPÖ’s leader, Herbert Kickl, for the chancellorship. Nevertheless, various European conservative figures have congratulated the FPÖ on their electoral victory, which marks a major win for the new EU-level, Orban-led Patriots for Europe group. “What a weekend!! After the Czech Republic, another victory for the Patriots across the border…. No war, no migration and no gender propaganda,” Peter Szijjarto, the foreign minister of Hungary, wrote in a Facebook post congratulating the FPÖ.

Has there been a mass catnapping in the American northeast, or is something else at play?

Some 20 cats have gone missing without a trace in Bangor, Maine, leaving residents and officials perplexed and disturbed at the disappearances.

Authorities have not discovered any remains in the search for the missing cats.

The situation was realized in late August, as up to 16 cats were reported missing over the course of a month. The number of missing cats soon increased.

“There was never this kind of spike of this kind of activity,” Matt Morgan, the owner of missing feline Eloise, told WCSH-TV, “and the animals that disappeared were either found later, or it just wasn’t at that rate.”

For the owners, the disappearances are a source of anxiety and unease.

“There’s really a hole in my heart without her,” Anne Foster, the owner of another missing cat, Frankee Blue Eyes, told WCSH of her missing cat.

“It’s like you’re in grief,” she later continued, “but you can’t really grieve, because you don’t know if they’re actually gone.”

Trisha Bruen, Bangor’s animal control officer, told WCSH that wildlife is to blame for the city’s unprecedented spike in cat disappearances.

According to Bangor Daily News, Bruen pointed to a bobcat that was recently hit by a car, suggesting it could have been responsible for many of the cats’ disappearances.

Owners of the missing cats, and at least one government agency, are casting serious doubt on the wildlife theory.

“The question is, where’s her collar?” Foster asked. “Where’s her remains, if it was an animal?”

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife dismissed the wildlife theory altogether, pointing out that the area has been a longtime home for predators, but only recently became something of a Bermuda Triangle for cats.

“We do not believe that wildlife is responsible,” MDIFW Communications Director Mark Latti told Maine Wire.

“The neighborhood has had foxes, coyotes and fisher there for years without incident, yet during this recent time period of about two months, 16 cats disappeared.

“If it were wildlife-related, you would not have seen that sudden surge of cats disappearing.”

While one of the vanished cats has since returned home after being reported missing, the locations of the other 19 remain unknown.

As millions struggle with the aftermath, President Biden has yet to set foot in any of the disaster zones. Despite being briefed by FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, the president’s visit has been delayed to avoid “disrupting emergency response operations,” according to the White House.

In contrast, former President Donald Trump quickly issued a statement expressing his condolences and will be visiting Georgia on Monday to help facilitate relief for families affected by Hurricane Helene.
