Senate Majority Leader John Thune appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the current status of the government shutdown. As noted by Senator Thune, he will bring the Continuing Resolution bill to the Senate floor again on Monday, and see what happens.
Four times the radical wing of the Democrat party have refused to extend the short-term budget gap CR unless the Trump administration agrees to fund healthcare for illegal aliens and other Democrat priorities. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is reportedly worried about getting a leftist primary challenge and cannot permit the government to open. WATCH:

In addition to the Japanese election victory of Sanae Takaichi, now positioned to be the first female Prime Minister of Japan, both the Czech Republic and nation state of Georgia held elections yesterday.
♦ In the Czech Republic, billionaire businessman Andrej Babis won parliamentary elections, with his populist ANO party receiving around 35% of the vote. This gains ANO 80 seats in the 200-seat lower house – up from 72 seats four years ago.
Andrej Babis will now likely enter a coalition with anti-Green Deal “Motorists for Themselves,” (lol) and the anti-illegal immigrant Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, led by the Czech-Japanese entrepreneur Tomio Okamura. While this coalition will likely not exit the EU, this coalition will strongly push-back against the efforts of Brussels bureaucrats to control the national decisions of independent nations.
The biggest loser in the Czech election is Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy who has relied upon a sketchy assembly of Czech arms dealers to provide him weapons via highly corrupt NATO/EU payment systems. As noted by the BBC, Babis “has already vowed to scrap the successful Czech ammunition initiative – which has delivered 3.5 million shells to Ukraine since 2022.
“Babis claims it lacks transparency, but Czech government officials who created the scheme say it works precisely because it is not transparent. Under the initiative, Czech arms dealers use their international contacts to procure shells for Ukraine on the global market, with the bulk of the money coming from EU and NATO partners. Some of the producers are in countries that have relationships with Russia but as the deal is arranged with Czech dealers their involvement remains private.”
In essence, the Czech arms dealers delivering weapons to Ukraine are also delivering weapons to Russia. [Sound familiar?]
The new Czech government will continue letting NATO/USA buy weapons for Ukraine from Czech arms dealers, but the govt will no longer permit the operation from hiding the transactions. Russia will know which of their arms suppliers are also delivering weapons to Ukraine. [Oh dear]
♦ The other big election outcome was the municipal elections in Georgia. Following the 2024 independent Parliamentary elections of Georgia Dream, the entire apparatus of western NGOs, western intelligence, EU and NATO alliances, have been funding opposition efforts in Georgia.
Their EU’s yearlong manipulation effort culminated in a massive rally, turned riot, on the streets of Tbilisi last night. However, the Georgian people rejected the pro-EU manipulation and resoundingly elected Georgia Dream (nationalists) to lead their municipal elections. Mayoral and council elections were won by candidates who supported the sovereign state of Georgia.
The biggest losers in the Georgia elections were EU President Ursula von der Leyen, the Brussels bureaucrats and again Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Tbilisi (AFP) – Georgia’s ruling party won local elections Saturday and police fired tear gas and water cannons at anti-government protesters who tried to enter the presidential palace, as tens of thousands of people rallied to the opposition’s call to save democracy. (more)
I think ‘the new awakening’, post Ukraine and post EU mobilization, includes a growing understanding of what this new “save democracy” claim is all about. None of it has anything to do with elections, freedom or liberty.
The people who organize these “save democracy” rallies, have a totally different perspective on what democracy actually is. They view nationalism, national identity, as something against the interests of the global democracy of totalitarian elites they wish to create.
This is a new era, where people are starting to recognize the ‘save democracy’ brand for what it really is. That gives me hope.
The government of Georgia should be held up for praise when considering their approach.
Many strong nationalists may not like it, but the Georgia ruling party openly, Georgia Dream, let the left-wing “new democracy” crowd protest for over a year. The Pro-EU troops marched in the streets and yet the govt did not stop the protests all year.
Instead, the nationalist govt permitted dissent, even when it was uncomfortable – which is, as we know, a tenuous approach. The Marxists always exploit the willingness of noble govt to remain solid in their view of counter argument.
The Georgia Dream decision to permit the continued antagonism by the Brussels funded crowds could have ended badly. However, while the govt permitted the protests, they simultaneously made the argument for sovereign control over their own country. They let the leftists shout at trees, while the Georgia govt made the better argument. It takes courage to do this.
Ultimately, this approach showed how the protest group was in the minority, and how the majority of the Georgian people stand firm on the side of sovereign nationalism.
Compare that approach to how the leftists in Romania and Moldova responded to protests. Both governments targeted dissent, attacked the sovereign nationalist movement, banned opposing views, made opposition to their ideology unlawful and weaponized government against their own election systems.
You might think the brutal totalitarian approach by both Romania and Moldova ended with victory for the oppressive fascists currently in power; but they govern in a very tenuous and unstable position. (Same with Ukraine, same with France).
The unstable nature of their “new democracy” leaves their governing structures exceptionally vulnerable. The need for control is driven by fear.
The government of Georgia doesn’t need to fear the future; while the governments of Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and France certainly do, and that’s why they’re acting like it.

Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan constructed a coverup to hide their political surveillance operation.
From the perspective of Obama, Comey and Brennan, expanding Hillary Clinton’s Trump-Russia collusion narrative was the key element to hide the activity of the administration prior to the November 2016 election. That’s the motive for the FBI and CIA to collaborate on the agenda after the shocking outcome of the 2016 election result.
The December ’16 Joint Analysis Report (JAR), and the January ’17 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA), were fabricated to enhance this larger coverup objective. Spiropoulos has taken the time to put the deconstruction of the ICA into a simple to follow video format.
For the next few days CTH will outline a series of videos that will walk through the deconstruction of the ICA narrative, which was the centerpiece for President Obama, James Comey and John Brennan to hide their prior surveillance operations. Today begins episode #1. “Obama Spies and Lies”
Remember, from a risk management perspective, initially the surveillance and spying operation was a low-risk endeavor. Obama held power and was going to hand off operations to Hillary. The Clinton administration would retain the officials who were doing the surveillance/spying, and no one would ever know.
Donald Trump was not expected to win the election. When he did, all of the participants were suddenly at risk. President Obama and every member of his cabinet involved in the spying operations, then used Clinton’s “Russiagate” smear to cover up Obama’s “Spygate” activity.
Expanded timeline below.
The IRS was used to identify targets 2011 and 2012, until discovered in April ’12. Suddenly, President Obama has a problem. President Obama then sends his Chief of Staff, Jack Lew, to run the IRS and block discoveries around the IRS weaponization.
From April 2012 through April 2016, the Obama administration then began spying on political opposition, using the FBI to conduct surveillance through their access to the NSA database.
In April 2016, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers was alerted by the NSA compliance officer who noted the uptick in database access activity by the FBI searching the Republican Primary Candidate field.
Post April 2016 the Obama administration again had a problem. Enter FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” July 2016, in an effort to remove the political risk.
October 2016, the FBI rushes a FISA application through the FISC, circumventing the missing ‘Woods File’, with the Chris Steele dossier as evidence.
October 2016, NSA Director Rogers sends the first official notification of the FBI, using the NSA database to the oversight body, the FISA Court.
December 2016, worried about Trump now discovering the NSA database spying, the Obama administration wraps the Clinton smear into official policy, blaming the Russians and validating Crossfire Hurricane. That’s where the Joint Analysis Report and Intelligence Community Assessment become critical.
May 2017, needing to extend the coverup of the FBI activity, special counsel Robert Mueller then takes over Crossfire Hurricane. All FBI evidence and personnel transfers to Mueller.
April 2019, Robert Mueller operation wraps up, and prior activity coverup shifts to Impeachment process.
July 2019, John Durham kicks in extending DOJ/FBI control through 2020 election.
Fall 2020, mail-in ballots triggered to facilitate 2020 election outcome. Install Joe Biden, shift to autopen administration, maintain Obama team influence and coverup objective.
January 2021, FBI triggers Operation Arctic Frost, targeting Trump supporters and 2020 election researchers. FBI again using NSA database search queries to identify targeting.
March 2021, FBI operation ‘Arctic Frost’ – results are fed to J6 Committee and DHS. TSA triggers “quiet skies” targeting via results from Arctic Frost.
It’s one long continuum of coverup activity within Main Justice and the FBI, supported by all other various agencies (CIA) who were operating in support.
Question: What were they covering up?
Answer: The original 2012 through 2016 political spying operation within the Obama administration, as carried out by the same Main Justice and FBI operators.

Chicago is well known as a safe haven for domestic communist activity. Radical political groups, the Weather Underground, Revolutionary Communists, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and their Chicago Alinsky disciples all have called Chicago home for their base of operations.
As a result, it does not come as a surprise that all these hard-core leftist elements have converged in commonality to physically fight against any effort to bring peace and stability to the Chicago metropolitan area. However, the scale and scope of their activity is still alarming to hear when explained by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
In this interview Secretary Noem notes that bounties of $10,000 per kill have been placed on the heads of the ICE/CBP officials currently operating to arrest criminal cartel members and illegal aliens. While she is careful to avoid giving details of ongoing investigations and interdiction efforts, Secretary Noem notes the scale of the threat presented by the alignment of these radical groups and their support for the criminal cartels who operate in the area.

A disturbing set of text messages from Virginia Democrat nominee Jay Jones has recently surfaced. The text message exchange shows Mr. Jay Jones openly advocating for shooting then Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Todd Gilbert.
The text messages show a rare glimpse into the psyche of a Democrat politician running for higher office. Even if you take the politics of the issue out of the equation, these are the text messages from a severely disturbed mind.
“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” the text reads in part, referring to Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert and the two dictators.
Factually, well beyond politics, this is not an emotionally or cognitively stable person.
The disturbing messages come amid a larger conversation about Democrats and Leftists promoting violence in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the politically motivated execution of Democratic Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman in their home earlier this year.
Democrats have been defending their promotion of violence for several weeks, and now the documentary evidence, provided by Virginia Democrat candidate Jay Jones, is staring them directly in the face. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Virginia Democrat Party is now defending Jay Jones and supporting his violent messaging.
This is very unsettling.
Early voting for Virginia’s statewide races in November is already underway.
On the left is the image of Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert, standing with his wife Jennifer and children. On the right is Democrat AG nominee Jay Jones, the man who said they were “evil” and promised to kill them. {more details here}

Dept of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, states that armed protesters confronted Customs and Border Patrol officials near the Broadview ICE facility today.
CHICAGO – This morning, during routine patrolling in Broadview, in the same area of Chicago that law enforcement were assaulted yesterday, our brave law enforcement officers were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars.
Agents were unable to move their vehicles and exited the car. One of the drivers who rammed the law enforcement vehicle was armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Law enforcement was forced to deploy their weapons and fire defensive shots at an armed US citizen who drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds.
The armed woman was named in a CBP intelligence bulletin last week for doxing agents and posting online ‘Hey to all my gang let’s fuck those mother fuckers up, don’t let them take anyone.’
Thankfully, no law enforcement officers were seriously injured in this attack.
Pritzker’s Chicago Police Department is leaving the shooting scene and refuses to assist us in securing the area. There is a growing crowd and we are deploying special operations to control the scene.
This is an evolving situation and we will give more information as soon as it becomes available. (link)
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was at the facility yesterday coordinating plans for a large-scale operation that will now likely include the national guard. Secretary Noem has requested national guard support as the local police are refusing to enforce civil order.
The Midway Blitz Operation has resulted in more than 1,000 arrests, the Department of Homeland Security said in a news release Friday.
“Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens,” Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker wrote on Facebook on Friday. (more)
Immediately after arresting and taking dozens of left-wing extremists off Chicago streets, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issues a scorching message to every Democrat-run city and agitator nationwide:

Sanae Takaichi, 64, won the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election on October 4, 2025, positioning her as Japan’s likely first female prime minister.
Takaichi is a conservative ally of the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and supports revising the pacifist constitution, boosting defense spending, and imposing stricter immigration policies. Her victory was unexpected and now she will face parliamentary confirmation potentially becoming Japan’s first female Prime Minister.
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s governing party on Saturday elected former Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi, a hard-line ultra-conservative and China hawk, as its new leader, making her likely to become the country’s first female prime minister.
In a country that ranks poorly internationally for gender equality, the 64-year-old Takaichi makes history as the first female leader of Japan’s long-governing conservative Liberal Democratic Party. Takaichi is one of the most conservative members of the male-dominated party.
An admirer of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Takaichi is a protege of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe ‘s ultra-conservative vision and a regular at the Yasukuni Shrine, seen as a symbol of Japan’s wartime militarism, which could complicate Tokyo’s relations with its Asian neighbors.

Posted originally on CTH on October 4, 2025 | SundanceAffirming a decision that was made in May 2025, and subsequently blocked by an ideological lower court ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court has again affirmed Secretary Kristi Noem can remove the Temporary Protect Status (TPS) from Venezuelan migrants and deport them back to their home country [RULING HERE].
Once again, the Obama/Biden installed Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, outlined a dissent from the majority, framed around emotional opposition to President Trump that is devoid of legal substance.
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, is only on the Supreme Court to undermine the Supreme Court from within; that was her purpose. That was why CTH said when Merrick Garland was selected as U.S. Attorney General, that ¹KBJ was the true goal behind Garland’s appointment.
WASHINGTON – […] The Supreme Court’s brief order included little explanation of the majority’s decision. It said simply that the circumstances around Chen’s ruling were little changed from May, when the high court blocked a similar preliminary order.
About 300,000 immigrants are affected by the decision. They were previously given safe haven in the United States as a result of deteriorating economic and political dynamics in Venezuela. That status allowed them to live and work in the United States legally.
The court’s liberal justices opposed the decision. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, in a solo written dissent, faulted the court’s majority for “wordlessly” siding with the Trump administration and discarding the lengthy determinations made by several lower-court judges who had blocked the administration’s bid to terminate the protections.

¹CHECK DATE:
Watch who is moved into Garland's spot on the DC circuit.
Garland’s replacement will be a senate confirmed seat for that court. Once that replacement is senate confirmed, I anticipate that person will be quickly elevated to a Supreme Court nomination to replace Justice Bryer. https://t.co/kN5OxIMPhIpic.twitter.com/zvlR55BWAX
Oct 3 (Reuters) – Hamas said on Friday it had agreed to release all Israeli hostages, alive or dead, under the terms of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza proposal, and signaled readiness to immediately enter mediated negotiations to discuss the details.
Hamas says it is open to handing power over to a politically independent Palestinian body. However, it also says the proposal touching on the future of the Gaza Strip and Palestinian rights should be decided on the basis of a “unanimous Palestinian stance” reached with other factions and based on international law. The statement makes no mention of Hamas disarming, a key Israeli demand included in Trump’s proposal.
1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.
3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.
4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.
5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th, 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.
7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.
8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025, agreement.
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.
10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.
11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.
13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.
16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.
17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.
18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.
19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence. [SOURCE]
