President Trump speaks at a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas – October 19, 2026
President Trump will hold a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas, this evening for incumbent Senator Roger Marshall as he continues his October blitz ahead of the midterms.
Trump told reporters earlier he’s returning to Kansas for Marshall because “I won the state by many, many points,” and “I love the people of Kansas.”
“Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.
“We want to make sure he wins. He’s a great senator. I just want to make sure. Every place I’ve gone to, they’re doing well,” Trump later said, highlighting the success of his rallies.

Federal prosecutors are planning to use DNA evidence to try to prove Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) committed immigration fraud, as part of the sprawling investigation into the congresswoman, sources told The Post.
People familiar with the years-long criminal probe said the feds have made use of whistleblowers, government records and now obtained DNA in an effort to substantiate decade-old allegations that Omar — and possibly members of her family like her father — defrauded immigration authorities.
One source said the DNA evidence was critical to proving an allegation that Omar married her brother when she wed Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in 2009 because she was trying to help him get a green card — which never came to fruition.
It’s unclear whether the DNA was taken before or after Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) searched the congresswoman’s home in Washington, DC, last Monday, when federal agents were seen exiting the bungalow with boxes marked “Seized Property Evidence.”
According to Fox News, federal investigators are in possession of Ilhan Omar’s DNA and personal passport.
Ilhan Omar’s official passport from her office has not been retrieved, but authorities are not concerned with Omar fleeing the country.
BREAKING: The feds are in possession of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) DNA and personal passport as part of the federal investigation into her US citizenship, colleague @davidspunt reports. It’s unclear how her DNA was obtained, but sources tell David it was NOT from a trash can or dumpster. @FoxNews is told that reports of agents dumpster diving are incorrect. Additionally, David is told the feds have her personal passport as evidence. Her official passport (via her office) has not been retrieved, and authorities aren’t concerned that she fled the country. They believe she in the U.S., and feel that if she were to flee the country, it would create problems for her down the line as her husband and family members are in the US.
DHS and DOJ continue to decline comment to FOX on the investigation.
The federal investigation into Ilhan Omar could widen to a conspiracy case.
CNN reported that the investigation into Ilhan Omar may widen to a conspiracy case as several members of Omar’s family have been subpoenaed.
Last week, the Associated Press and NBC News reported that, according to sources, federal investigators were also probing Ilhan Omar’s financial records.
Deranged comedienne Rosie O’Donnell has suggested that Elon Musk could use his Starlink satellites to manipulate the upcoming midterm elections.
In a video posted to TikTok, O’Donnell expressed hope that a sufficiently large turnout would prevent Republicans from interfering with the election results.
“When this is over — hopefully on November 4th when people show up en masse and they cannot rig the election or use Elon Musk’s satellites to alter the election because the turnout will be so large — hopefully then we will be able to see a tremendous decline in the MAGA cult,” she declared.
Watch the clip below:

O’Donnell offered no evidence for her unusual claims.
Similar allegations spread among anti-Trump activists following the 2024 presidential election, with some suggesting that Musk’s Starlink satellite network had been used to manipulate voting machines.
She continued by suggesting that Trump supporters would need to be reintegrated into society.
“We will have to be welcoming to them back into the reality of the United States of America and what we stand for, because, boy, it’s not MAGA and what they’re about,” she said.
“It’s definitely not Mango Mussolini, who seems to be getting worse every day with his dementia,” she claimed.
“The man is a myriad of problems, in every way, psychologically, physically, and morally.”
O’Donnell also expressed hope that House Speaker Mike Johnson would “go away and go back to being a farmer” back in Louisiana.
The latest video follows similar remarks in June, when O’Donnell speculated that Trump could exploit an assassination attempt or terrorist attack to cancel the midterm elections.
Her comments also come as Musk continues to support Republican candidates ahead of November’s elections.
Musk has spent approximately $276 million supporting Republican candidates and political organizations during the 2026 election cycle, making him one of the largest political donors in American history.
Elon Musk is putting more than $276 million behind Republicans ahead of the midterms, and he’s doing it without the high-profile campaign appearances that defined his support for President Trump in 2024.
Ted Nugent speaks at Trump rally in Wichita, Kansas – October 19, 2026
Rock and roll legend and longtime Trump supporter Ted Nugent delivered a pre-show address to the Trump rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday, and he opened for President Trump with fire.
Nugent took the stage to an electrified crowd, chanting “USA” as his hit song, Stranglehold, filled the arena.
After taking the stage and screaming, “Kansas! I love real Kansas,” Nugent began, “Look at you. Take a good look around you: Real America! I love real America.”
“You know how much I love real America? I was in a tree stand in the swamps of Michigan this morning, and I got a call from President Trump, and he said, ‘Would you come to Kansas and raise some hell with me?’” he continued.
“So I got out of my tree stand — I don’t get out of my tree stand for nothing except freedom! I rock and rolled in Kansas. You people are real music lovers. I love you people.”
WATCH:
Nugent went on to tell the crowd, “I’m a radical. I’m extremist.”
He explained why, saying, “I believe my life pivots upon God, family, country, Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the 10 Commandments, the Golden Rule, work ethic, law and order, self-defense, private property rights!”
“I know you people. You people deserve me. But you know what else I do in Kansas? I love the rock and roll. Who doesn’t love the rock and roll?” he added.
A Clearwater, Kansas, man was arrested last week for threatening to shoot President Trump at tonight’s Wichita rally.
President Trump is holding a midterm rally in Wichita, Kansas, on Monday evening for incumbent Senator Roger Marshall.
Trump told reporters earlier he’s returning to Kansas for Marshall because “I won the state by many, many points,” and “I love the people of Kansas.”
“Roger Marshall is one of the finest people in government, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.
“We want to make sure he wins. He’s a great senator. I just want to make sure. Every place I’ve gone to, they’re doing well,” Trump later said, highlighting the success of his rallies.
Last week, a Kansas man, identified as Jaden Read, 24, was arrested for threatening to shoot President Trump at his Wichita rally: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.
Per the DOJ: On October 15th, a Crime Stoppers tip led authorities to a Facebook post where Jaden Read made comments in response to a KAKE News article detailing President Trump’s upcoming visit to Wichita, KS on October 19th, 2026. Jaden J. Read’s threatening comments raised concern among the authorities.
“Read posted on Facebook: “Let’s shoot Trump honestly, where’s our shooter? I’m tired of living this money life” and immediately after his first comment, Read posted a second comment on the same KAKE News Article stating: “I just got a 308 and 305 round and I’m killing this pedo”.
“Authorities found Read made two more threating comments in response to a different article by KWCH 12 News discussing President Trump’s upcoming visit. In this threat, Read commented: “Can we shoot him in Kansas please I will myself.” And a minute later Read posted “IK where your speech will be. Already mapped out roofs around. Finna get kirked since yall couldn’t help him”” the DOJ said.
“On October 17th, the U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Kansas filed a Criminal Complaint against Jaden J. Read, 24, of Clearwater, KS for making Threats Against the President,” the DOJ said.
“Political violence and threats of political violence will not be tolerated.” Said U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser.
“The first Amendment allows for robust disagreement but there are constraints. I caution people to stay within the bounds of constitutionally protected speech,” he said.

They have been quietly draining your account every month. Here is the perfectly legal trick that slams the door on them for good.
Look at your last credit card statement. You made a payment, on time, like always. And the balance barely moved. That money did not go to your debt. It went straight to a bank betting you would never notice.
You did everything right. You worked your whole life. You pay your bills. That balance came from a busted furnace or a medical bill, not from recklessness. And they turned your honor into their profit.
The math should make your blood boil. Carry $8,000 at around 24% and you hand the bank nearly $1,900 a YEAR in interest alone. That is not paying off a debt. That is paying RENT on it.
This is not a glitch. It is the plan. The whole system is built to keep you stuck on minimum payments forever. To them, the customer who never escapes is the most valuable customer of all.
But there is a way out they pray you never find. It is legal. It is boring. And the big banks refuse to put it in their flashy TV ads. It is called a 0% introductory APR balance transfer card.
Here is how it works. You move the balance you already owe onto the new card. For an intro window, the best stretching as long as about twenty-one months, that balance is charged ZERO interest. Every dollar you send hits your debt instead of their bonus.
Now the catches, told straight. The 0% ENDS, and then the rate jumps back, often seventeen to twenty-eight percent. Most cards charge a one-time transfer fee of three to five percent. You need decent credit. And it only works if you pay the balance down inside that window.
This is a tool for the disciplined. Not for spenders. For the responsible adult who is sick of being treated like a sucker. If you have a payoff plan and the backbone to follow it, this puts YOU back in charge.
What it really buys is your independence. Owing nobody. Not leaving a mess behind for your kids. Pouring your morning coffee without that knot in your gut. After everything you have given, you have earned it.
These offers do not last. The long 0% windows are the rarest of all, and lenders quietly cut them the second rates move. The twenty-one-month deal today could be slashed to fifteen by next quarter.
In Portugal, police clashed with protesters while clearing a housing camp in Porto, leaving 37 protesters injured and one officer hurt. Spain, Greece, Germany, and Austria have seen marches, encampments, and school blockades. In nearly every country, communist parties, socialist youth wings, Trotskyist groups, and left-wing labor confederations have been documented organizing, joining, or promoting the demonstrations.
The movement began on September 17 at Lycée Saint-Exupéry in Créteil and spread nationwide within two weeks. On October 17, it merged with protests over fuel prices and the cost of living, drawing between 550,000 and 800,000 people. Rioters destroyed the historic Limoges town hall and looted shops in at least nine cities. The Interior Ministry reported nearly 2,400 arrests that day, and Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has called for localized curfews.
The French government has attributed the movement to La France Insoumise (France Unbowed, or LFI), describing it as a maneuver organized by LFI and its ultra-left proxies. The president of the Union syndicale lycéenne, the high school union that called the first national day of action, ran on an LFI-led list in local elections. The French Communist Party issued an October 14 statement calling for demonstrations on October 17 and a day of strikes on November 5.
Smaller revolutionary organizations, including the Union de la Jeunesse Communiste and the Nouveau Parti anticapitaliste, called for expanding the movement through strikes. The country’s major union confederations, led by the CGT, joined the marches. A Fox News Digital investigation identified 54 organizations in the wider French protest network.
In Belgium, the protests began in Liège on October 1 and spread to Brussels, Mons, and Charleroi. Footage from Liège showed demonstrators carrying material from RedFox, the high school youth wing of the Marxist Workers’ Party of Belgium (PTB). The party’s university wing, Comac, operates on campuses in Brussels and Liège.
Belgian public broadcaster RTBF reported that masked outsiders were inciting destruction at the Liège protests. On October 9, a Brussels march organized by the socialist FGTB union drew 30,000 people, according to police, with about 1,000 rioters operating on its margins. Defense Minister Theo Francken accused the PTB of links to the violence, an allegation that party general secretary Peter Mertens publicly rejected.
In Germany, the protests have so far consisted of school blockades and small rallies. An October 8 rally at the French Embassy in Berlin was organized by Die Linke’s (The Left) Neukölln and Mitte chapters and the Berlin branch of LFI. It had support from Linksjugend Solid (Left Youth Solid), Klasse Gegen Klasse (Class Against Class), and several Trotskyist groups. The Berlin police union warned that Linksjugend Solid could hijack the protests.
In Italy, the communist high school group OSA (Opposizione Studentesca d’Alternativa, or Alternative Student Opposition) launched school occupations in Turin on October 5 under the slogan “Let’s do as in France.” With its university counterpart, Cambiare Rotta (Change Course), it organized a national student strike in 40 cities on October 16. Cost-of-living marches turned violent in Milan, Turin, and Bologna on October 17 and 18.
In Bologna, Carrelli Vuoti (Empty Shopping Carts) called the march alongside local collectives Cua, Crash, and Plat. Cua stands for Collettivo Universitario Autonomo (Autonomous University Collective). In Italy, autonomous collectives are far-left groups independent of parties and unions, governed by open assemblies, and committed to direct action, including occupations and unauthorized marches. Cua and Plat activists led an unauthorized march of about 500 people. The clashes left 75 officers injured, and five people were arrested, four of them minors.
In Turin, ANSA reported that antagonist collectives, social centers, and pro-Palestinian activists took control of the march. Antagonist collectives are militant far-left groups opposed to the state and established parties; social centers, often housed in occupied buildings, serve as their political and cultural hubs. In Milan, police detained 271 young people on Sunday alone and arrested 32, including 23 minors.
Albania’s revolt targets Edi Rama’s Socialist government. Student protesters attacked the Prime Minister’s Office, the Constitutional Court, and the Bank of Albania with stones and Molotov cocktails. Arlind Qori, leader of the left-wing Lëvizja Bashkë, called on Albanians to rise alongside the students and vowed to bring down Rama. The conservative Democratic Party also backs the protesters, making Albania the one country where the right and left share the streets.
On the Iberian Peninsula, established communist parties are participating openly in the unrest. In Portugal, the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP) announced that its general secretary, Paulo Raimundo, would join a party delegation at an October 17 demonstration in Lisbon organized by the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP), a union confederation closely associated with the communist movement.
In Spain, Izquierda Unida (United Left), a left-wing coalition that includes the Communist Party of Spain, announced its participation in housing marches that drew 70,000 people in Madrid. Two major union confederations, Workers’ Commissions (CCOO), with communist roots, and the General Union of Workers (UGT), with socialist roots, have agreed to a general strike. Socialist youth groups clashed with police at Madrid’s Complutense University on October 14.
In Lisbon, housing assemblies, local groups campaigning for affordable housing and tenants’ rights, have called for an “Iberian general strike” across Portugal and Spain on November 11.
In Greece, students set up tents in Athens’ Syntagma Square. The Communist Party of Greece announced that a delegation from its youth wing, KNE, led by Central Council secretary Thodoris Kotsandis, marched in Paris on October 17. This is the clearest documented case of a communist organization from one country physically joining protests in another. In Austria, the national student union ÖH, whose vice chair belongs to the Socialist Students association, held a protest in Vienna on October 13 against university budget cuts.
The next coordinated action is scheduled for November 20, when a coalition of student and youth organizations across Europe has called an International Youth Strike under the slogan “Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars.” Organizers are calling for walkouts, blockades, and occupations. Announced in August, before the French riots, the strike reflects organizing networks that predate the violence.
The documented record establishes broad participation by communist, socialist, and revolutionary-left organizations across at least nine countries, along with direct cross-border contact among them. The worst violence, in Milan, Brussels, and several French cities, has largely been carried out by loosely organized youths whom police have not tied to any single organization.
This article is the first in a series examining these groups country by country. Upcoming installments in The Gateway Pundit will cover France’s school revolt and the parties and unions behind it; the Marxist youth wings active in Belgium and Germany; Italy’s communist student groups and collectives; Albania’s Flamingo Revolution; and the communist parties of Portugal, Spain, and Greece, along with the November 20 youth strike.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Monday released an undercover video of a campaign official for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed admitting that El-Sayed knowingly receives illegal donations from overseas.
Foreign nationals are prohibited from making campaign contributions.
“You know, he [Abdul El Sayed] has people from overseas that donate to him,” Abdul Beckwith, Regional Field Organizer for Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign, said.
When asked whether overseas donations were prohibited, Beckwith responded, “No, it is not allowed,” before describing a hypothetical arrangement in which overseas money passes through a family member.
Beckwith said, “And then people overseas give money to him. And then he gives money to you. It’s that type of thing.”
He then added, “Everybody does it!”
Beckwith also told the OMG undercover journalist that Abdul El-Sayed could lose support if he publicly denounces Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood, a designated terrorist organization.
El-Sayed’s sister has publicly claimed that their family has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
“So that’s the whole thing. So when Abdul is going to denounce that [Muslim Brotherhood], they’re [Muslims] going to think that he is siding with the genociders,” Beckwith said.
Beckwith also said he is concerned that El-Sayed is surrounded by too many whites and Jews and may adopt their mannerisms.
“There’s a lot of white people around [El-Sayed]. A lot of Jewish people around him. And when you’re around a certain group of people for so long, you absorb the ideology, the mannerisms, everything like that,” he said.
Beckwith warned, “[Whites and Jews] are going to hijack him and then in a year he’s going to be doing what they want with him.”
When the OMG journalist asked whether El-Sayed might abandon his promises, Beckwith responded, “I think, yeah.”

“You know, he [Abdul El-Sayed] has people from overseas that donate to him…No it is not allowed.”
“He [Abdul El Sayed] can’t just say, you know, no, I don’t support Hamas, you know, I reject all of them, because he’s going to lose the people that brought him up in the first place.”
Abdul El-Sayed’s team responded to O’Keefe’s undercover video.
“This junior staffer has never been employed by the Abdul for Senate campaign – his comments here are untrue, wildly misinformed, and not reflective of the campaign. The Abdul for Senate campaign is fully in compliance with FEC regulations,” a communications director for Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign said.

President Trump speaks to reporters at the White House
President Trump responded on Monday to Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), who called for Trump’s inner circle to be persecuted to scare young conservatives from getting involved in right-wing politics, slamming the Democrats for weaponizing government.
Slotkin recently said that the entire Trump administration should face prosecution to dissuade young supporters coming out of college.
“Slotkin is a lowlife who’s ruining her state, just destroying her state. But what they’re doing is really discouraging people from going into politics,” Trump told reporters while departing the White House.
“They weaponize government, the Democrats. That’s what they’ve done.”
Trump later described Slotkin’s threats to another reporter as “a hell of a statement.”
“So Slotkin said that there should be prosecutions in order to scare people from going into politics. That’s a Democrat, and that’s what they do,” he added.
“That’s all they’re good at.”
“And you know what? That’s why they’re getting their asses kicked,” Trump said.
WATCH:
The Gateway Pundit reported on Slotkin’s insane comments during a podcast taping at the University of Chicago.
“I want young people coming out of school to say, should I go work for the Trump administration? Like, that sounds fun, I might get an opportunity,” she said.
“I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don’t want, and so let me avoid participating in that. I want that deterrence message sent.“
