Iran War Day 240: Trump Says No Strikes on Iran Planned for Sunday

President Donald Trump said Sunday that there would be no attack on Iran before the end of the weekend.

“There will be no strike today,” he told reporters at a White House press gaggle.

Before departing for a campaign event in Michigan, Trump commented to a separate gaggle at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland about a Friday intelligence memo about Iranian plans targeting Americans in the Middle East.

“There are two very different sets of intelligence reports—I have them both,” he said. “We have very advanced sets of intelligence on Iran, and we’re doing very well with Iran, as you know.”

The president’s recent rhetoric on Iran, along with recent measures like U.S. embassy evacuations, has led some to believe that he plans more strikes on Iran in the near future. “Do I make a deal with them, or do I finish them off? That’s the only question,” he said in a phone call to Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.

The president did not comment on the status of negotiations, but multiple outlets reported that a Qatari delegation was in Iran Sunday in an effort to restart diplomacy between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic.

Direct U.S.–Iran military engagement remains relatively low-intensity. Admiral Brad Cooper, head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), visited the Strait of Hormuz per a statement on CENTCOM’s X account. Iran’s state-affiliated Tasnim news agency reported that Iran had downed an American drone over its port of Bandar Abbas.

Yet fighting raged on other fronts throughout the region. Saudi Arabia claimed to have intercepted a missile barrage from Yemen’s Houthi rebels near Mecca. Israel continued offensive operations in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza through the weekend.

AAA reported national average prices per gallon of $4.29 for regular gas and $6.35 for diesel.

UPDATE: Elon Musk Responds – Zelensky Bragged About Breaking Starlink Rules on X by Using It to Bomb Russia – Then Melts Down When It’s Shut Down

Ukrainian leader engaged in conversation while adjusting an earpiece, with a national flag in the background.

It is pretty clear at this point that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy can not be trusted.

Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky lashed out at Elon Musk and the US, after the Starlink service was interrupted in Ukraine earlier this month.

Starlink, which is controlled by Musk’s SpaceX, was being used by Zelensky to bomb Russia.

According to The London Economic, Zelensky wrote Musk saying it was a “big mistake” when Starlink was interrupted in Ukraine that will lead to “a lot of losses.”

Zelensky continued: “People will die if attacks continue and if Starlink will not work.”

On Saturday, Elon Musk responded to Zelensky on X social media:

“Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.

“Starshield,” a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.

Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.

Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.

Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.

SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.

That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.

End of story.”

So it wasn’t Elon who broke the rules. It wasn’t Elon who continues to push for an endless slaughter in an unwinnable war. It wasn’t Elon who was to blame for Ukraine breaking the StarLink rules.

It was Volodymyr Zelensky.

Via Elon Musk:

On Sunday Elon Musk continued to call out Ukraine for breaking the Starlink rules.

Musk has had enough!

(VIDEO) Ilhan Nur Said Elmi AKA Ilhan Omar Questioned About Real Name While Entering Mosque at the Mall of Somalia in Minneapolis

Rep. Ilhan “Omar” was confronted and asked what her real name is on Friday in Minneapolis as she entered a mosque inside the Karmel Mall of Somalia, the largest shopping center and cultural hub in the nation. 

Per Fox, she was “spotted by Fox News Digital at the Karmel Mall of Somalia in Minnesota as she made her way into the Karmel Masjid, inside the mall, for Friday prayers.”

The reporter asked, “Is your name Ilhan Nur Said Elmi or Ilhan Abdullahi Omar?”

“It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar. You know it,” the Somali Rep. turned and said. “It’s Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.”

WATCH:

This comes after the Department of Justice identified Omar as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar” in a recent court filing, revealing her real name for the first time.

It was then revealed by sources familiar with the investigation that “Ilhan Omar” is a fake alias used by Ilhan Nur Said Elmi to obtain citizenship in the year 2000, live in the country illegally, and run for office. A former Minnesota federal immigration judge said this could “call into question” every document she’s ever filled out with her fake name, Ilhan Omar.

US Attorney Jeanine Pirro also confirmed on Thursday, “Her real name is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi. You had it absolutely right.” She added, “Her sister is Sahra Nur Said Elmi, and her sister actually wrote a book and talked about the fact that Ilhan is her sister. So, that is her name.”

Notably, Nur Said Elmi is the same name as her brother-husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom she married in 2009 in what is believed to have been a fraudulent citizenship scheme, though he never completed the naturalization process and they divorced in 2017. Her sister and her late father also have this last name.

Still, the Somali Congresswoman’s office claimed that the allegation is “completely false,” and “Ilhan Omar is her real name.”

Meanwhile, President Trump has demanded that Nur Said Elmi resign from Congress for using a fake name after previously saying she “might go to jail.”

JUST IN: Democrat Alaska Senate Candidate Mary Peltola Injured in Car Crash

Democrat Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola was injured in a car crash, her campaign announced on Sunday.

Peltola suffered non-life-threatening injuries that required medical attention after the vehicle that was transporting her was struck by another driver on Saturday.

Peltola’s camp said events scheduled in Fairbanks and Bethel for Sunday and Monday were postponed due to the car accident.

NBC News reported:

Former Rep. Mary Peltola is rescheduling several upcoming campaign events after she and her family sustained “minor” injuries in a car crash, her campaign announced on Sunday.

“Mary and her family sustained minor injuries but are in good spirits. Unfortunately, per the advice of medical professionals, Mary’s upcoming events in Fairbanks and Bethel will be rescheduled for later in the week as she takes time to recover,” Peltola campaign manager Cheryl Bruce said in a statement.

“Mary is disappointed that the accident is delaying the start of her Alaska Always Tour, and she is eager to get back on the campaign trail to speak directly with Alaskans about her plan to take on the rigged system and lower costs for working families,” Bruce added.

Peltola was en route to the Alaska Federation of Natives’ annual banquet on Saturday when a vehicle transporting the candidate and her family was struck by another driver, according to the campaign.

The police department in Anchorage confirmed Sunday that a collision involving three vehicles occurred on Saturday evening and those involved sustained “non-life threatening injuries.”

Alaska’s Senate race has turned into a legal battle after the Democrats used a decoy candidate to confuse voters.

The Justice Department on Friday sued to block Alaska’s Senate certification if incumbent GOP Senator Dan Sullivan loses over the Democrats’ dirty trick to use a ‘decoy’ Dan Sullivan on the ballot.

A Democrat operative worked to register a man named Daniel J. Sullivan as Dan S. Sullivan (the incumbent Senator’s name) as a Republican primary challenger.

The decoy saboteur, Daniel J. Sullivan, is a Democrat and has a team of Democrats working for him, but they registered him as a Republican to cause chaos and confusion during Alaska’s August primary.

After that plan failed to add the decoy Dan Sullivan to the primary ballot over the summer, Daniel J. Sullivan’s name will appear on the Alaska ballot in the general election in November.

The lawsuit is seeking an order to block the Senate election results from being certified “if: (1) Senator Sullivan does not win the election; and (2) had all votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan been cast instead for Senator Sullivan and Alaska’s rank-choice process played out accordingly, Senator Sullivan would have won the election.”

HILARIOUS! Fulton County DA Fani Willis Says Someone Fraudulently Registered Her to Vote as a Republican Living in Trump Tower in NY, Whines About Harassment (VIDEO)

Fulton County DA Fani Willis says someone registered her as a Republican living in Trump Tower in New York

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis says it was “quite upsetting” to learn her name was used on a voter registration in New York that signed her up as a Republican with an address at Trump Tower “of all places.”

Willis was behind the RICO indictment against President Trump and 18 co-defendants after they challenged the 2020 election results, but her case fell to pieces after she appointed her lover, Nathan Wade, to the case and the two billed Fulton County for their lavish outings.

The charges were finally dropped in late 2025 after Willis and her office were disqualified from the case.

Now, Willis is whining about a prank that she sees as a “serious matter.”

“It came to my attention that someone registered to vote as me in New York. Interestingly enough, they registered me as a Republican that lived in Trump Tower, of all places,” she said in a recent interview. “I got notice of that, which was really actually quite upsetting.”

“It’s true I’ve been threatened and harassed,” she added.

“But it’s not the first crime that’s been committed to harass me because every time I’m threatened, when my house is doxed, all of those things are crimes.”

“I don’t want Georgia to try to use it as an excuse as to why I shouldn’t vote here, and so I take it as a serious matter,” she further complained.

Via WSB-TV:

According to WSB’s Mark Winne, the New York City Board of Elections notified Willis of the discrepancy.

The New York City Board of Elections wrote in a letter to Fani Willis, “had an individual attempted to vote they would have been required to present identification or sufficient documentation to establish proof of residence. In any event, the Board does not have any records regarding voter history for any election.”

Willis is now working with a prosecutor in New York about a potential criminal investigation into the prankster.

Mail Bins Filled with 92 Undelivered Midterm Ballots Found Tossed in Seattle Park Dumpster (VIDEO)

Two bins of mail containing 92 undelivered ballots for the upcoming midterm election were discovered in a dumpster at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood.

The discovery comes less than two weeks before Election Day on November 3 in a state that relies heavily on mail-in voting.

The person who found the tossed ballots contacted King County Elections customer service to report what they saw.

King County Elections staffers then went to the park and found the bins.

Kendall Hodson, King County Elections Chief of Staff, told the Seattle Times the ballots were undelivered and unused.

WATCH:

The county reported the incident to the Postal Service, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is investigating.

Seattle police officers also checked 26 additional trash bins across two parking lots at the park and found no more ballots.

“We tend to hear about a handful of incidents of where ballots are tossed after mail theft in each big election,” Hodson stated.

The Postal Service issued a statement saying it is “fully committed to the secure and timely delivery of the nation’s Election Mail” and that the USPS Office of the Inspector General is handling the matter.

King County Elections spokesperson Halei Watkins said that every voter has a unique voter ID, and every ballot has its own ballot ID, with only one accepted per voter.

Signature verification is performed on every returned ballot by workers trained by the Washington State Patrol. If a signature raises questions, workers are supposed to hold the ballot and contact the voter to resolve the issue before certification.

Watkins claimed that even if someone tried to cast a discarded ballot, it would be rejected.

Officials said all affected voters have already received replacement ballots, but those who haven’t can call King County Elections at 206-296-8683 or request a replacement online.

Conservative Activist Mike Davis Outlines What’s at Stake for the U.S. Supreme Court if Democrats Win (VIDEO)

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Conservative activist Mike Davis recently appeared on FOX News and sounded the alarm about what a Democrat win in the midterms, or even worse in 2028, would mean for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Davis reminded the audience that there are currently four SCOTUS justices in their 70s. Do people really want them replaced by Democrats?

Democrats have been very clear about their intentions for the court. They want to pack it with progressive activists.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

LAURA INGRAHAM: Joining us now, delighted they’re both with us, Mike Davis, Article III Project Founder and President, and former Gorsuch Supreme Court clerk, along with Sol Wisenberg, Fox News Contributor, former Deputy Independent Counsel. Mike, let’s start with you. Now, so Democrats are clothing this in their altruistic crusade to, quote, reform the court, saying that the court has, quote, lost its legitimacy. What’s the truth here?

MIKE DAVIS, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT, ARTICLE III PROJECT: What the truth is that President Trump transforms the Supreme Court to the first constitutionalist majority in 90 years, and so Democrats want to destroy the Supreme Court as our last line of defense, and they want to destroy it by packing it. Right? They want to pack it with Left-wing radicals who are going to take away our God-given rights to speak, to worship, to associate, to protect ourselves, and that is the choice for this midterm elections.

Do you want President Trump picking Supreme Court justices? We have four justices in their 70s. Do you want President Trump picking Supreme Court justices who will follow the Constitution, or do you want Democrats blocking them and then packing the Supreme Court with Left-wing radicals who will destroy the Constitution.

Watch the whole thing below:

Democrats rely on the court to push through policies that they can’t pass through Congress.

That’s why they want to pack the court and it’s why they should be stopped.

WATCH: “Ask Hillary How Fake the Polls Are!” – Rapper Nicki Minaj ROASTS Hillary Clinton, Says Trump “Won Three Elections” While Traveling on Air Force One to Michigan Rally

Vocal Trump-supporting rapper Nicki Minaj was on Air Force One on Sunday afternoon, traveling with President Trump to Michigan, and she spoke out in favor of Trump’s agenda while slamming Hillary Clinton. 

She said Trump is “tough internationally” and that he ended the practice of “paying to kiss their ass” with foreign leaders before adding that he won three elections and that Hillary Clinton knows “how fake the fake polls are.”

The rapper is scheduled to appear at Trump’s rally in the Detroit, Michigan, area this afternoon.

While on board Air Force One en route to Michigan, she sat down with White House Communications Director Steven Cheung for a brief on-camera interview, apparently to become the next Press Secretary, Cheung suggested in an X post.

When asked about the economy under Trump, Minaj said, “It’s booming because we have a president that understands economics, first of all.”

“You know, I said before that the president is naturally a businessman. He’s worked his way out of, you know, not having $1 left in the bank. So, if he can do that with himself and his own finances, surely he knows what to do with the country, you know? He’s very tough; he’s tough internationally. He tells them what we need, not what they need. We’re not going to be paying to kiss their ass, okay? They are going to pay us to be affiliated with the United States of America,” the rapper said.

She went on to describe Trump as “a man who’s won three elections,” while discussing his work ethic and rigorous campaign schedule with multiple rallies per day in states across the country. “Legacy media continues to attack him left and right. And what does he do? He wakes up at 4 o’clock in the morning. He outworks people that, you know, are half his age. And you know, what does that say about his character?” she said.

“He knows that he would be fine. He could kick his feet up and just, you know, chill out for the rest of his presidency. But no, he’s paying it forward. He’s thinking about the other Republicans that have to win during these elections, and so that tells me that he’s a great guy.”

Then, the rapper responded to the “fake polls” that show Democrats leading in key races for the majorities in Congress by slamming the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton over her failed 2016 presidential bid.

“Well, let’s ask Hillary Clinton how the fake polls — how fake the fake polls are,” she said. “We don’t pay those polls any mind. Obviously, they are there to deter our voters from going out and casting your vote.”

She further assured conservatives that “you are winning, and we need not let anything stand in our way of taking it all the way, bringing it all the way home to the bank.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, I think we may have found the new White House Press Secretary!” Cheung wrote on X.

Nicki Minaj also posted a clip of herself on the plane earlier before sitting down with Cheung.

Georgia Leftist Charged for Throwing Molotov Cocktail at Atlanta ICE Building in a ‘Terroristic Crime’

Federal authorities arrested a Georgia man on Friday after he allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in downtown Atlanta earlier in the week, hitting the perimeter fence and starting a fire.

U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg described the attack as a despicable “terroristic crime” and an act of political violence.

Inique Hinton, 31, has been charged with attempted arson of a federal building and depredation of government property following the incident at the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations office.

WATCH:

Surveillance cameras caught Hinton walking near the building around 8:12 p.m. on Tuesday, carrying a white plastic bag while wearing a black shirt, khaki pants, and black shoes, according to a criminal complaint and statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia.

Minutes later, at approximately 8:14 p.m., footage showed him igniting an item and throwing it toward the facility.

The device, later identified as an improvised incendiary device consistent with a Molotov cocktail, struck the exterior security fence, where flames spread across the top portion.

Hinton fled on foot.

A nearby Atlanta Police Department officer witnessed the throw and ran after him but could not apprehend him at the time.

Investigators later recovered a glass bottle, burned cloth, lighter fluid, and a lighter from the scene.

The device became caught on the fence and did not fully reach the building, limiting the damage.

No injuries were reported.

Authorities took Hinton into custody later in the week.

FBI agents made the arrest, and he is now in federal custody.

Hertzberg said at a news conference that law enforcement’s identification and apprehension of the suspect were exemplary and that prosecutors would respond with extreme severity to send a clear message that such conduct is unacceptable.

WATCH:

If convicted, Hinton faces a mandatory minimum of five years and a maximum of 20 years in federal prison on the arson charge, plus up to 10 years on the property depredation count.

“Attacking a federal building with an incendiary device like a Molotov cocktail is a despicable, terroristic crime that warrants an immediate and severe response,” said Hertzberg in a press release. “My office will relentlessly investigate, pursue, and prosecute any act of arson targeting government institutions and will ensure that the perpetrators bear the full consequences of their actions.”

WATCH: Michigan Sheriff Who Served as a Democrat for 18 Years Leaves the Party and Issues Warning About Abdul El-Sayed’s Soft-on-Crime Policies

Saginaw County Sheriff William Federspiel has left the Democratic Party after nearly two decades as an elected Democrat.

Federspiel has served as sheriff since 2009 and worked in law enforcement since 1987.

The sheriff endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for Senate and John James for governor before announcing his departure.

In a recent Fox News interview, Federspiel described himself as a lifelong Democrat and a “Kennedy Democrat” like his grandparents and parents.

“18 years of being sheriff as a Democrat. Been a lifelong Democrat…I’m a Kennedy Democrat that my grandparents were. They wanted me to leave, and I obliged,” he said.

Rogers has made clear he will not support Abdul El-Sayed.

WATCH:

Federspiel says the party has shifted too far left on public safety. He has criticized policies that favor early releases of prisoners over victims and community safety.

“We need to talk more about victims and keeping prisoners in prison,” he stated on air, voicing support for sentencing laws that require violent offenders to serve their full terms.

In his October 8 statement, Federspiel wrote that his top priority is “the safety of our citizens and justice for victims of crime.”

“As a law enforcement officer, my highest priority is the safety of our citizens and justice for victims of crime. I am deeply concerned by the prevailing push within the Democratic platform toward policies that seek to prematurely release violent offenders from prison,” Federspiel said, according to Michigan News Source.

He pointed to the 1997 kidnapping, rape, torture, and murder of 18-year-old Karen King in Saginaw County.

King, a Michigan State University freshman, was abducted from a grocery store parking lot.

One of the killers was a juvenile at the time, and progressive juvenile sentencing changes have led to repeated court reviews for possible resentencing and release.

“A tragic, real-world example of this soft-on-crime approach is hitting close to home right now in Saginaw County. The case of 18-year-old Karen King, who was brutally kidnapped, tortured, and murdered in 1997, remains a painful scar on our region,” Federspiel said.

“Yet, due to systemic shifts in juvenile sentencing advocacy championed by progressives, her killers have been repeatedly granted court reviews and Miller hearings to evaluate them for potential resentencing and eventual release. Our justice system must prioritize victims and community safety over the comfort of convicted murderers.”

The Saginaw County Democratic Party has welcomed Federspiel’s departure and said it will run a “true Democrat” against him in 2028.
