Woke Democrat pastor Adam Hamilton is hoping to defeat incumbent Republican Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) in Kansas.

A resurfaced video, however, may not help his efforts in the deep-red state,

In the summer of 2020, during the height of the violent and destructive George Floyd riots, Hamilton suggested members of his congregation at the Church of the Resurrection recognize their “White privilege” and “repent.”

Hamilton said in the video, “Like part of what I know is that, is that I grew up in a way that I’m blind to certain things in our society.”

“I just am. And I have certain benefits by virtue of being educated, White, and male, right?”

“And we don’t like to hear that, especially White folks don’t like to hear that. But there are benefits that come along with that.”

He continued, “There are benefits and privileges to my place in life. I have to recognize that. To see that. And then I have to listen. I have to listen and understand, and finally be able to see the brokenness in myself, and my indifference.”

“Before I can do anything to help anyone else, I have to have a conversion. I have to repent.”

Watch (begins at 19:14):

According to The New York Post, Hamilton has also been accused by Marshall of failing to report a pedophile, who once worked at Hamilton’s church, to law enforcement.

“Hamilton, who has served as lead pastor at Church of the Resurrection in Leawood for more than three decades, caught flak from a Democratic primary opponent for allowing the employment of Scott Moore, a church volunteer accused of molesting teenage boys at two retreats in 2005 and 2006.”

Marshall released an ad highlighting the accusation.

“What did Hamilton do when victims reported him to church leaders? Parents were ignored, and Hamilton never called the police,” the narrator says.

The ad continues, “The next fall, Hamilton welcomed him back. Free to lurk for new victims — later convicted of more child sex crimes.”

“Adam Hamilton protected a pedophile. He should never be our senator.”

Watch:

#KSPol: “A child predator working for Adam Hamilton’s megachurch. What did Hamilton do when victims reported him to church leadership? Parents were ignored … Hamilton protected a pedophile.”

Roger Marshall is up with a new #KSSen ad.

The post Woke Democrat Kansas Senate Candidate Calls for “Repentance Over White Privilege” in Resurfaced Video appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico made an appearance at a town hall hosted by CNN in collaboration with Jubilee on Wednesday evening.

The format CNN used was reminiscent of Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, where one individual must face a barrage from naysayers who disagree with their views.

For Talarico, opposition came from a Roman Catholic woman who made it known she was a single-issue voter, with everything coming down to abortion.

After expressing her hesitance to vote Democrat because of the party’s poor track record on the issue, Talarico tried to respond as a moderate, attempting to find common ground with someone he considered a fellow Christian.

“Some of my spiritual heroes like Pope Francis and Pope Leo are pro-life, and they are consistently pro-life,” he told her. “I can respect anyone like you who is consistently pro-life,” Talarico said, hoping to find “common ground.”

The Senate hopeful then tried claiming “the Bible is silent on the issue of abortion.”

He tried desperately to distance himself from the line from the Democrats’ long-held stance on murdering children, telling the woman, “You and I actually have the same goal. We may have different moral conclusions when it comes to this particular ethical question, but we actually have the same public policy goal.”

Although he kept rambling, this voter would not let his comment on Scripture go unaddressed.

“I just want to add that the Bible is not silent on abortion. There is the 10 Commandments: thou shalt not kill.”

Talarico simply told her, “It’s okay that you and I come to different conclusions about that.”

No, it definitely is not okay.

How can voters who oppose the slaughter and dismemberment of children find any common ground with Talarico or his party?

For all of the mental gymnastics he tries here, the issue is black and white.

Either you support the murder of children in the womb, or you do not.

Talarico’s understanding of Scripture is strange, but more accurately abhorrent. That tracks well with leadership at his church claiming Jesus did not die for our sins and that we cannot know if He even existed.

The town hall gave audiences more moments like this as he tried to inch away from the radicalism Democrats have spent years endorsing.

Deviating from the “Abolish ICE” narrative the left uses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Talarico said, “We need Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this country, but that’s not what we’re seeing,” commenting, “What we’ve seen over the last year is a secret police force, and that’s what we don’t want in this country.”

Sure, calling ICE the “secret police” is not moderate, but it’s a step back from the lunacy of the left by at least understanding the agency is needed.

Talarico maintains a slim lead over his Republican opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as the New York Post, citing RealClearPolling, puts him ahead by 2.6 percentage points.

He’s trying to tread lightly until November, but abortion is not a middle ground issue with room for nuance. We are talking about the murder of innocent children.

Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit against the City of Detroit to force the release of records on how many dogs and cats were euthanized by Detroit Animal Care and Control while Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed ran the city’s health department.

The lawsuit, Judicial Watch, Inc. v. City of Detroit (No. 26-018170), follows an August 14 FOIA request and an October 7 follow-up that the city never answered.

Judicial Watch is demanding annual euthanasia totals from 2010 through 2025, plus every directive, memorandum, and protocol that Animal Care and Control received from El-Sayed’s office between January 2015 and December 2017.

The organization also wants the numbers after he left, so voters can compare.

As The Gateway Pundit reported in August, El-Sayed’s tenure as executive director and health officer saw nearly 4,680 dogs and cats put down.

In 2015 alone, the facility killed 1,988 dogs and 272 cats.

Former officer Brittany Roberts called the place a “dog slaughterhouse,” describing overcrowded, unsanitary conditions filled with feces, blood, and vomit, animals that were not scanned for microchips, and inadequate care.

One dog named Coco was killed by mistake while it was supposed to be in quarantine.

The city settled her whistleblower suit for $63,000.

El-Sayed has said he inherited a mess and later claimed a “humane-care turnaround.”

“The public deserves answers about Detroit’s animal euthanasia practices during El-Sayed’s tenure,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement. “With an election approaching, Detroit should stop stonewalling and disclose these records so voters can examine the facts for themselves.”

El-Sayed is a practicing Muslim.

Under his religion, dogs are not seen as man’s best friend; they are considered “impure” and “dirty.”

The Justice Department has given California 48 hours to review a federal list of people it believes are noncitizens who were mailed ballots for the November 3 midterms, or face emergency legal action.

Acting Deputy Attorney General R. Trent McCotter sent letters Tuesday to Secretary of State Shirley Weber and Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan.

The department handed over a password-protected thumb drive listing individuals federal officials “believe are likely noncitizens” who received vote-by-mail ballots.

California began mailing ballots to more than 20 million registered voters on October 5.

The letters demand that officials review the list within 48 hours.

For anyone whose citizenship cannot be independently confirmed, the DOJ wants the state and county to segregate returned ballots, not cancel them, and refrain from verifying signatures or tabulating them until citizenship is determined.

Officials are told to withhold ballots for anyone on the list who has not yet been sent one.

“If you cannot implement this process by then, given the ongoing federal election, the United States will have no choice but to seek emergency relief,” the letter states.

McCotter wrote that “Allowing noncitizens to vote cancels citizen votes.”

Weber pushed back in her response.

“In July of this year, President Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin made (still) unsubstantiated claims that California had 190,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. Given the many high-profile examples of states purging U.S. citizens from their voter rolls based on DHS/SAVE data, SOS immediately requested written information about their methodology and data sources to back up their claims. They refused and provided California with nothing,” Weber said in a statement, according to a report from Fox News.

“Now the USDOJ, under threat of ‘emergency’ litigation, demands that California blindly trust this administration without any evidence or legal authority to justify its request,” she said.

Weber continued, “The USDOJ’s relentless efforts to unlawfully gain access to states’ protected voter data and purge voter rolls serve only to cause chaos and fuel public distrust in our elections. California has robust state law requirements that only U.S. citizens can register to vote and that any non-eligible registrants are removed from the State’s voter rolls. My office and California election officials remain committed — as always — to ensuring a fair and smooth 2026 General Election.”

Logan’s office has not opened the drive, citing security concerns.

“The letter included a USB drive purportedly containing the referenced records, along with a handwritten note providing a password. We have not accessed the drive because doing so would conflict with established data privacy and information security protocols. We do not consider the device a secure medium. Additionally, the letter does not specify the number of individuals involved or describe the information contained in the records,” Logan said in a statement.

Late last month, the Supreme Court allowed states to use the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to check voter eligibility for now, after a lower court blocked the expanded version.

Trump signed an executive order directing the creation of a federal voter-registration list and new restrictions on mail voting.

A DOJ spokesperson said the request “should not be controversial” because “only American citizens may vote in federal elections” and “it is a federal crime for noncitizens to vote.”

The execution of Nidal Hasan, the former U.S. Army major who carried out the mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009, will not be live-streamed, President Donald Trump announced Thursday.

“He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “That said, the execution may be viewed in person by the immediate families of the victims, if they so choose.”

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had said last Thursday that the execution would be conducted by firing squad and that it would be “public,” and the Pentagon said it would be live-streamed.

Americans overwhelmingly oppose live-streaming the execution—80 to 18 percent—according to new polling by the Washington Post and ABC News.

After the Pentagon’s announcement, the Trump administration debated calling off the livestream, CNN reported Tuesday. During those conversations, the president learned Hasan is paralyzed from the waist down and uses a wheelchair, raising concerns for Trump about the event’s imagery.

On Monday, accomplished filmmaker Ava DuVernay stood before the BFI London Film Festival audience and declared, “Hollywood is over.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-nominated documentarian shared that the era of institutional control was coming to an end.

“It’s done. They’re buying each other, they’re collapsing. It’s all changed,” DuVernay said. “They’re selling studio lots. The idea of going to Sundance and getting a three-picture deal from Harvey Weinstein? He’s in prison.”

Instead of being financed by the major media companies, DuVernay suggested crowdfunding through different “kinds of apps and sites” as an alternative.

“Everything has changed,” said DuVernay.

The question she attempted to answer was, “What can we build now that’s new, that serves more kinds of people and kinds of stories?”

These comments come amid commercial success for low-budget independent releases in 2026.

Curry Barker’s $522 million hit “Obsession” and Kane Parker’s $400 million psychological horror “Backrooms” were two of 2026’s most successful films.

But these films were not products of established film companies. They were from small indie creators.

Shooting on relatively small budgets, selling directly to audiences, and sidestepping the usual Hollywood studios allowed them to produce very successful cinema.

They are not the only ones stepping away from traditional media.

Reporting from Politico in August 2026 revealed a large physical exodus from the 30 Mile Zone around Los Angeles’ studios. Film companies are moving operations to Illinois, Georgia, and New York.

Financial incentives to leave California have driven many successful filmmakers away from the Golden State.

A June investigation by The Hollywood Reporter found that many of these film locations have been taken over by small content creators or influencers.

DuVernay confirmed the decentralization of the industry.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she shared that “more and more, it will be about artists and audiences connecting directly without a middle man or company that brings them together.”

DuVernay’s documentary “14th” has a limited theatrical release on Nov. 27, 2026, followed by its global streaming premiere on Netflix on Dec. 4, 2026.

The movie examines the 14th Amendment, the context behind its ratification, and the battles surrounding it today.

Arthritis is not just “a little joint pain.” It’s a constant, grinding ache — the kind of ache it is hard to find any relief from.

And what’s behind it all? Inflammation. The same kind of inflammation that wreaked havoc in severe COVID-19 cases is also attacking joints in those with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).

Swelling. Stiffness. Breakdown. It’s the same enemy wearing a different mask.

Your body uses chemicals called cytokines to call for backup when there’s injury or infection. But sometimes these chemical messengers go rogue.

They call in the immune system as if it were an emergency. So, instead of healing, there is more pain, more damage, more swelling. Scientists have named the three worst offenders:

The “Inflammatory Triad” that hijacks your body’s natural defenses

These bad actors flip powerful switches inside your cells — NF-κB, MAPK, JAK/STAT — and set off chain reactions that cause joints to deteriorate and your body to spiral into chronic inflammation.

In other words, you experience pain all the time.

This is where ivermectin rushes in.

Originally developed to fight parasites, ivermectin has shown powerful anti-inflammatory potential. Research suggests it can help calm the same inflammatory signals that drive arthritis — blocking NF-κB, the “master switch” of inflammation, and dialing down pathways like MAPK and JAK/STAT.

The result? Less swelling, reduced tissue breakdown, and relief from persistent joint pain.

For over 30 years, ivermectin has been trusted worldwide — Nobel Prize–winning, FDA-approved, and proven safe for millions. Now, science is uncovering its broader potential to support inflammation and joint health.

Far left Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed recently appeared on Meet the Press and was asked if he or anyone in his family has connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. His answer was a flat no.

But NBC News just committed an actual act of journalism and confronted El-Sayed about tweets from his sister and other family members that appear to suggest that there is a family connection to the organization.

El-Sayed did not appreciate the line of questions.

Transcript by NewsBusters:

TOM LLAMAS: Rogers now accusing El-Sayed of lying in this interview when NBC’s Kristen Welker asked about ties to the Islamist movement, the Muslim brotherhood.

KRISTEN WELKER: You don’t have any ties?

ABDUL EL-SAYED: No.

WELKER: And your family doesn’t?

EL-SAYED: No.

LLAMAS: But newly revealed past tweets from El-Sayed’s half sister appearing to call his answer into question.

These tweets have emerged now. “Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim brotherhood during the early 70s while she was in college. #respect.”

EL-SAYED: Talking about me? Me?

LLAMAS: “My family has long been MB.” Let me finish. “Praying for all my family that supports the MB in Egypt.” Can you just explain it?

EL-SAYED: Yeah.Tom, it’s funny to me. I was born in 1984 down the street in Rochester Hills. I was raised here in Michigan, went to the University of Michigan, rebuilt the Health Department in this city, led the Health Department in this county. And you want to ask me about what was happening in Egypt in 1970? Are you serious?

LLAMAS: I get it, but you were asked a question. You gave an answer.

Here’s the video:

Law enforcement in Lansing, Michigan, is concerned there may be a serial killer on the loose after five killings were committed in under one year on the same trail.

Earlier this month, police said they were investigating the possibility that a lone killer was targeting the Lansing River Trail, Fox News reported.

Karen Holt, a criminology professor at nearby Michigan State University, told the outlet, “I definitely think we need to be cautious, but we also need to be rational.”

“As someone who studies violence, the first thing that came to mind was the victims and the vulnerability of these victims and the method of the violence,” she added.

“One of the patterns with either single or serial homicide offenders or just violent offenders is that they tend to go after individuals who are particularly vulnerable,” Holt explained.

Authorities said all the victims were homeless men.

Holt said killers sometimes target homeless victims because they “lack credibility,” which possibly “decreases the likelihood that they’re going to be caught.”

The timeline of the killings spans from October 2025 to August 2026. The victims’ ages ranged from 22 to 70, with the cause of death in many cases being either blunt force trauma or stabbing.

Last month, Edward Joseph Smith, 23, was arrested in connection with the stabbing of Daniel Lusk, 22. No motive was released to the public, however, and it is still unclear if he is responsible for any of the other killings.

Holt told Fox News that Lusk’s murder “stands out” because he was the only who was stabbed.

Smith has been charged with murder in that case, but the other cases remain open, according to The New York Times.

Lusk’s father, Dean, said his son was struggling with addiction and had done stints in rehab, as well as prison, but that he visited his son frequently to bring food and clothing. 

“There were incidents that happened down there before my son got murdered,” Mr. Lusk said. “The cops were well aware of it, and they refused to do anything about it.”

Police Chief Robert Backus broached the subject of a possible serial killer during a news conference, saying, “We are looking at the idea — or the possibility — that these may be related cases… But we cannot move forward in an investigation thinking that these are all the same person. We have to look at these on a case-by-case scenario.”

Derick Byrd, 56, reportedly knew some of the victims and had previously stayed along the river trail.

“It’s scary knowing that even if you’re homeless, you can’t even lay out here and go to sleep without somebody beating you,” he said.

Backus announced that temporary cameras were placed along the trail, and the city is weighing whether to install better lighting.

He added that the trail is safe, except during the overnight hours.

The killings began with Gino Chouinard, 54, who was discovered dead on the trail, but his cause of death has yet to be determined.

The next victim, Dennis Dunnebacke, 70, was found under a bridge in July, and his cause of death is also undetermined.

The third victim, Robert Smith, 57, died of head trauma one day after Dunnebacke, and his case was declared a blunt force homicide.

The other two deaths occurred 10 days apart back in August, with both victims being found under bridges like Dunnebacke.

One of the victims was Lusk, and the other was Louis Woodruff, 57, who had severe facial trauma. He passed away on Sept. 1, and his death was ruled a blunt force homicide.

Chief Backus blamed the case delays on a lack of witnesses, limited surveillance footage, and inconclusive or pending reports from the medical examiner.

Former New York Knicks star Amar’e Stoudemire has made a major career move and traded a basketball and the shining lights of stardom for a police badge.

Miami Dade College shared a photo of Stoudemire, 43, following his graduation from the Miami-Dade Police Academy on Wednesday.

“Amar’e Stoudemire, @amareisreal, made his mark on the basketball court. A six-time NBA All-Star, 2003 Rookie of the Year and newly inducted Basketball Hall of Famer, he played for some of the league’s biggest teams, including our very own @miamiheat,” the post on Instagram read.

“Today, he’s celebrating a very different milestone: graduating from the MDC School of Justice Basic Law Enforcement Academy after months of rigorous training. And he’s graduating with special recognition, receiving the Harry “Coach” Everett Award for his contributions to the success of the academy program throughout his training.”

“For Amar’e, this is more than a second career. Becoming a police officer was a childhood dream, inspired in part by family members who served in law enforcement. Now, he will begin a new chapter as a police officer with the Miami Dade Schools Police Department, @miamischoolspd, giving back to our community and serving as a positive influence for the next generation.”

“Congratulations, Amar’e, and to all of graduates from BLE 401! Wishing you continued success as you take on this important responsibility in our community.”

A post shared by Miami Dade College (@mdcollege)

Stoudemire told Sports Illustrated, “It’s something I always wanted to do since I was a kid.”

“I remember back when I was in grade school, elementary school. They asked you on career day, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ And my initial response was a police officer.”

Stoudemire noted that the nearly 11 months in the academy, including intense physical training drills, was very different than his experience in the NBA.

.“Yeah, it was a little bit [more] challenging actually because now I’m running a lot more than I had before,” Stoudemire told the outlet.

“Obviously, in the NBA you run short distances, right? And the police academy, you’re running more long-distance mileage.”

Stoudemire will serve and protect in the county’s school police department.

Miami Dade College shared photos from graduation and congratulated the newest class.

A special day celebrating the graduates of @MDCollege’s @SchoolofJustice Basic Law Enforcement Class 401 and their commitment to serving and protecting our community.

Completing this rigorous training requires discipline, sound judgment, and perseverance. As these graduates enter law enforcement, they take on a profound responsibility to uphold the law, earn the public’s trust, and serve with integrity. Their dedication and commitment will carry forward right here in our community, protecting lives and answering the call when others need them most.

Among today’s graduates was former NBA player Amar’e Stoudemire, now embarking on a new chapter of public service. It was extra special to talk hoops with @amareisreal.

Congratulations to BLE Class 401. May God bless and protect you always.
