Warnock Calls Out Walker For Skipping Debate: half Of Being A Senator Is Showing Up
Warnock Calls Out Walker For Skipping Debate: ‘half Of Being A Senator Is Showing Up’ https://digitalarizonanews.com/warnock-calls-out-walker-for-skipping-debate-half-of-being-a-senator-is-showing-up/
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) took a shot at a Republican challenger Herschel Walker for skipping the Atlanta Press Club debate on Sunday.
Warnock was introduced along with Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver, while Walker was represented by an empty lectern.
“I think it’s important to point out that my opponent Herschel Walker is not here,” Warnock said at the outset of the debate, “and I think that half of being a senator is showing up. That’s half of life. And I have shown up for the people of Georgia time and time again.”
Warnock faced off against Walker in a debate on Friday, marking the first and only time the two candidates will meet face-to-face before next month’s election.
The race between Warnock, a pastor who defeated former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) in a special election last year, and Walker, a businessman and former football star, is one of the most closely watched in this year’s election cycle. And a potential runoff in the race could once again decide control of the Senate.
Walker, who is endorsed by former President Trump, sent mixed signals about his participation in the Atlanta Press Club debate. In July, he said he would take on Warnock any time, but that his campaign needed to negotiate specifics.
In a statement on Sunday, Walker’s campaign suggested the organizers of the Atlanta Press Club debate were biased in Warnock’s favor.
“It was unfortunate to see that even in his second try at a debate, Raphael Warnock couldn’t give a single direct answer,” Walker spokesperson Will Likely said in a statement. “Winners don’t need a second try and Herschel Walker was the clear winner of Friday night’s debate.”
Despite Walker’s absence, Warnock repeatedly took shots at his GOP challenger Sunday night, saying his opponent had not come clean about the “basic facts” of his life and was a serial liar.
“I have never been violent to anybody for any reason. I have spent my entire life as a citizen, as a pastor of Dr. King’s church steeped in the philosophy of nonviolence,” he said.
“My opponent, on the other hand, has a well-documented history of violence and he hasn’t come clean about it.”
Walker’s ex-wife has said that he held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her, a claim that was featured in an attack ad earlier in the campaign.
Another woman, who is the mother of one of Walker’s children, has said he paid for her to receive an abortion, despite campaigning in support of strict abortion bans. Walker has denied the accusation.

Elections: Malloy Courts Vt. Conservatives ready For Change
Elections: Malloy Courts Vt. Conservatives ‘ready For Change’ https://digitalarizonanews.com/elections-malloy-courts-vt-conservatives-ready-for-change/
Gerald Malloy is mere months into his stint as a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate. But so far, he says, the experience “has been fantastic.”
A political newcomer, Malloy had never run for office before he threw his hat in the ring to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. Come January, Leahy will close a nearly five-decade-long career in the U.S. Senate.
When Leahy stood in the Vermont Statehouse last November to announce his upcoming retirement, candidates vying to rise in the state’s notably small political ranks were ready. Just one week after Leahy’s press conference, U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., launched his campaign for the newly opened Senate seat. Three high-profile Democrats quickly lined up for Welch’s soon-to-be-vacant post in the House, and by January, former U.S. attorney Christina Nolan was publicly exploring a Republican challenge to Welch.
Not Malloy.
In an interview with VTDigger in October, the 60-year-old Army veteran said, “You know, when Sen. Leahy made his announcement, I had, the day before that, absolutely no thoughts of running to be a U.S. senator.”
In the ensuing year, Malloy said, his mindset progressed from “could run, should run, have to run” to “have to win.”
Since launching his campaign in March, Malloy has traveled the state to beat the drum of fiscal and social conservatism, leaving a trail of his simple yet arguably menacing “Deploy Malloy” lawn signs. The slogan refers to Malloy’s 22-year career in the Army. An arresting portrait of a raptor stares down passerby from the lawn signs.
In the Republican primary in August, Malloy pulled off a major upset, defeating the more moderately positioned Nolan by a roughly four-point margin, despite her institutional support, campaign fundraising edge and Vermont’s left-leaning politics. Though Nolan won over the endorsement of Vermont’s overwhelmingly popular Gov. Phil Scott, a moderate Republican, Malloy deliberately positioned himself to Nolan’s right.
Now, Malloy is up against Welch, who has 15 years of congressional service under his belt and millions in campaign funds stowed away. But even in the bluest state in the nation, Malloy doesn’t think his defeat is a foregone conclusion.
Malloy isn’t just new to politics. He’s relatively new to Vermont.
According to property records, Malloy and his wife Stacey, who is also his de facto campaign manager, purchased their home in Perkinsville — which they call “the Lodge” — in 2020, when they moved from Massachusetts to Vermont. Since 2011, Malloy has worked in federal government and defense contracting, and according to financial disclosure forms filed with the U.S. Senate, the Malloys maintain a residence valued between $1 million and $5 million in Baltimore.
On a visit to the Lodge in early October, rows of Malloy’s black and white lawn signs were lined up on its porch, dozens of eagle eyes keeping watch over the house. A campaign volunteer was at work, fashioning more signs to be deployed to lawns and highway medians across the state.
Inside, an eight-point buck’s head hangs above the fireplace. It came with the house, Malloy said. In the living room window is a stuffed black bear cub, an animal Malloy said he found struck dead on the side of the road while he was driving in the Northeast Kingdom. He scooped up the roadkill and took it to a taxidermist. Now named Boo Boo, the cub wears a red Make America Great Again cap.
Sitting on a picnic bench outside the Lodge, Malloy rattled off the outline of his career in the military, the U.S. Department of Defense and the private sector. At 18 years old, the Boston native reported to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he studied, trained and played baseball and hockey.
It was there, in 1980, that Malloy met his friend Tyler King when the two were plebes at West Point and players on the hockey team. They went on to play as linemates their senior year and, after graduation, traveled Europe together while they were both stationed in Germany.
“You know, hockey is a violent sport in many regards, and I think really the closest that I’ve come to being sort of in a tight, strong, almost a combat environment was when I was playing hockey,” King said. “You learn a lot about yourself and about the people that you’re with. And so, you know, I learned a lot about Gerry in those times that you don’t get a chance to learn from people in most normal relationships.”
Malloy graduated in 1984 and, over the following 22 years, served in the Army in postings throughout the world, including the Middle East during the Gulf War. He retired from active duty in 2006 as an Army major, with an honorable discharge.
From there, he spent five years working with the Department of Defense’s Defense Coordinating Element, coordinating emergency management operations throughout New England. In 2011, he moved to the private sector, where he currently works in government contracting. He told VTDigger that most of his work is based in the Washington, D.C., area, and he mostly works with the military and the Department of Defense.
According to Malloy’s campaign finance disclosures filed in July, he currently works for a Reston, Virginia-based artificial intelligence company called Empower AI, previously known as NCI Information Systems. Empower AI describes itself as “a leading provider of artificial intelligence and other technologies to U.S. government agencies.” He also listed income from UIC Government Services, also known as Bowhead, based in Springfield, Virginia, whose services include avionics, weapons development and more. Malloy told VTDigger that he has also worked for Raytheon and Lockheed Martin.
Over the years, Malloy and King have remained close. During a recent visit to Vermont, the two were riding in a car and Malloy confessed to his friend that he was contemplating a career change — but “he didn’t mention anything about politics,” according to King. Later, when King was back home in Minnesota, Malloy told him his decision over the phone.
Asked to picture his friend of 42 years working on Capitol Hill, King said, “Well, I know Gerry loves his country. I know that.”
King said his friend’s military experience would make him an effective voice on foreign affairs. But Malloy’s biggest asset, he said, is his ideology.
“He has strong conservative values, and I think that he’ll work to help this country get turned around and back on a different path that maybe is more welcoming to conservative values than it currently is. I think he’ll be a good representative of Vermonters who have some conservative values,” King said.
One of Malloy’s conservative values has become a political minefield for him, as well as dozens of other Republican candidates in competitive races across the country: the issue of abortion.
In an interview with NBC5 in June, reporter Stewart Ledbetter pressed Malloy on the question: How would he vote on a nationwide abortion ban, with no exceptions, including in cases in which the mother’s life is in danger?
Malloy, who identifies himself as pro-life, dodged until he could no longer. Eventually, he said “I would, I would” vote yes on such a ban if it came up for a vote, but he added that he believed such a bill would be unlikely to reach the Senate floor.
Less than two weeks after that interview, the conservative majority of the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade case precedent, which had protected the right to an abortion nationwide for nearly 50 years prior. The question of abortion was punted to the states, many of which immediately outlawed the procedure.
It was a decision that Malloy himself heralded. It also brought the country one step closer to a hypothetical nationwide abortion ban bill that Malloy previously deemed improbable.
At a VTDigger debate in early September, Malloy was asked once again how he would vote on a nationwide ban, and he walked back his stance from June, saying, “I’d have to look at it.”
Less than one week later, U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., proposed a nationwide 15-week ban. The Malloy campaign at that time declined to make its candidate available by phone but said in an emailed statement attributed to Malloy, “Per the US Constitution as a US Senator, I will vote to keep abortion issues decided at the state level.” For six days, the Malloy campaign did not answer a followup email asking him to clarify his stance.
Then, on Sept. 19, Malloy wrote, “I would vote ‘no’ on a nation wide abortion ban. The Roe v. Wade decision was not decided when I spoke to NBC5 in June.” (A leaked draft of the majority opinion overturning Roe was reported by Politico in May.)
Malloy is not the only Republican congressional candidate to have a change of heart on the question of a nationwide ban. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in May that a national abortion ban would be “possible” should Republicans take back Congress, but when Graham introduced his bill in September, McConnell distanced himself from his South Carolina colleague. Graham’s bill left the caucus divided, and on the campaign trail, Republican candidates had scrubbed their websites of anti-abortion pledges.
Malloy himself removed a video from his campaign website in which he proclaimed himself to be “proudly pro-life.” The video is still live on the candidate’s Youtube page.
“I have always made it very clear that the decision should be left up to states, per the 10th Amendment, and that was what I believed would happen. That is what happened; Roe v. Wade was overturned,” Malloy wrote on Sept. 19. “I am pro life, but I will abide by the US Constitution.”
Malloy is also echoing Republican candidates around the country and in New England when it comes to his campaign focus on the state of the economy. The cost of living has skyrocketed i...
New Video: Roger Stone Says Trump Will Get His 'Brains Beat In' If He Runs Again
New Video: Roger Stone Says Trump Will Get His 'Brains Beat In' If He Runs Again https://digitalarizonanews.com/new-video-roger-stone-says-trump-will-get-his-brains-beat-in-if-he-runs-again/
Republican political operative Roger Stone is seen in new documentary footage threatening to support Donald Trump’s second impeachment and saying the former president would lose if he tried to run again in 2024.
“I’m done with this president,” Trump’s longest-serving political adviser says on a phone call in the clip, reportedly filmed on Jan. 20, 2021. “I’m going to public supporting impeachment. I have no choice.”
“He has to go. Run again! You’ll get your fucking brains beat in,” he adds. It’s not clear who he was on the phone with.
Trump was impeached for a second time on Jan. 13, 2021, for inciting the riot on the U.S. Capitol. His Senate trial, which ultimately acquitted him, began the following month.
The footage was released on Saturday by Danish filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, whose team was granted permission to shadow Stone for more than two years, including during the months when Stone was working behind the scenes to aid Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
The Danish team’s documentary about that effort, “A Storm Foretold,” is slated for release later this year.
Guldbrandsen told the Daily Beast the footage was from President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day after Stone learned he would not be receiving a second presidential pardon to protect him from legal fallout over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
Stone was already pardoned once by Trump in December 2020. He had been sentenced to 40 months in prison for multiple felonies, including witness tampering, lying to Congress, and obstructing the House investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2016, but Trump commuted his sentence before it even began.
In another clip of Stone’s angry phone conversation released on Friday, he’s seen ranting about Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and calling Ivanka Trump an “abortionist bitch.”
Guldbrandsen said Stone made the call in a car in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Stone has called that video “fake” but admitted he is “not a fan” of Kushner or the former first daughter.
Stone’s cellphone rant was recently subpoenaed by the House Jan. 6 committee but was not played at its Thursday hearing.

Stock Futures Rise Slightly After A Rollercoaster Week
Stock Futures Rise Slightly After A Rollercoaster Week https://digitalarizonanews.com/stock-futures-rise-slightly-after-a-rollercoaster-week/
Traders on the floor of the NYSE, Aug. 4, 2022.
Source: NYSE
Stock futures edged higher in overnight trading Sunday as investors awaited big earnings reports to roll in.
Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained about 50 points. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures both inched 0.3% higher.
The S&P 500 just came off its fourth negative week in five with a 1.6% loss last week. A hotter-than-expected inflation reading stoked wild price swings in the markets as investors readjusted their expectations for the Federal Reserve’s coming rate hikes.
“As inflation remains elevated for longer and the Fed hikes further, the risk increases that the cumulative effect of policy tightening pushes the U.S. economy into recession, undermining the outlook for corporate earnings,” Mark Haefele, CIO at UBS Global Wealth Management, said in a note.
Meanwhile, the third-quarter earnings season has kicked off. Investors are monitoring if corporate America will have any significant downward revisions to their outlooks in the face of stubbornly high inflation and the economic slowdown.
Bank of America is slated to report Monday before the bell, while Goldman Sachs will release numbers Tuesday morning. JPMorgan and Wells Fargo reported solid results last week, while Morgan Stanley’s equity trading revenue disappointed.
Many notable technology names are also reporting this week, including Netflix, Tesla and IBM. Johnson & Johnson, United Airlines, AT&T, Verizon and Procter & Gamble are other big companies on investors’ radar.

A relief rally could be close?
Last Thursday, the market pulled off a historic intraday reversal that saw the S&P 500 end the day up 2.6% after losing more than 2% earlier. It marked the fifth largest intraday reversal from a low in the history of the S&P 500, and it was the fourth largest for the Nasdaq Composite, according to SentimenTrader.
The dramatic rebound gave some investors confidence that a more lasting comeback could be on the horizon.
“Markets have attempted a rally several times in recent weeks with no success, though the impressive reversal on Thursday is an indication that a relief rally may be near given the excess degree of pessimism priced into markets,” said Mark Hackett, Nationwide’s chief of investment research.
Hackett noted that institutional investors have remained on the sidelines, while retail investors continued to be in buy-the-dip mode, with positive fund flows in seven-consecutive weeks.

January 6 Committee Member Says Panel Will Ask Former Secret Service Agent To Testify Again | CNN Politics
January 6 Committee Member Says Panel Will Ask Former Secret Service Agent To Testify Again | CNN Politics https://digitalarizonanews.com/january-6-committee-member-says-panel-will-ask-former-secret-service-agent-to-testify-again-cnn-politics/
Washington CNN —
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a member of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, told CNN on Sunday the panel will ask former Secret Service Assistant Director Tony Ornato to testify again.
“We’re in a position in the very near future to call the witnesses from the Secret Service back in for a few additional questions,” the California Democrat told CNN’s Pamela Brown on “CNN Newsroom,” explaining that the panel had wanted to “get through all the documentary evidence … over a million documents,” which they’ve now done.
The House select committee has made clear it believes Ornato was a central figure who could provide valuable information about former President Donald Trump’s movements and intentions leading up to and on January 6.
Not only did Ornato once run Trump’s detail, but he also made the unprecedented move of joining White House staff as the deputy chief of staff in December 2019 on a temporary assignment and eventually returned to the Secret Service to run its training program.
To this point, Ornato has met with the panel on two occasions – in January and March – as part of its investigation.
It’s not clear whether Ornato will end up testifying related to the claims from Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Hutchinson specifically testified that Ornato had told her about Trump lashing out in anger and lunging at a member of his protective detail as he demanded to be taken to the Capitol on January 6.
Lofgren said Sunday she could not expand further on Rep. Pete Aguilar’s comments during Thursday’s public hearing that the committee is examining a potential attempt to obstruct testimony related to that incident.
“It’s not just about the incident, but the testimony – and I will say, we have, broadly, questions about the advice given to some witnesses, and whether all the witnesses were completely candid with the committee, and that’s something that we’re interested in, and I think the Department of Justice will be very interested in,” Lofgren said.
Asked Sunday who else from the Secret Service would be called back to testify, Lofgren also mentioned the head of Trump’s Secret Service detail, Robert Engel, “and a few others,” but did not specify whom.
“We want to make sure that we’re getting the straight story. Some of the testimony received doesn’t seem to align with some of the documents, so we have a need to understand that better from them,” she said.

Elon Musk Reverses Course Says SpaceX Will Keep Funding Ukraine Starlink Service For Free | CNN Business
Elon Musk Reverses Course, Says SpaceX Will Keep Funding Ukraine Starlink Service For Free | CNN Business https://digitalarizonanews.com/elon-musk-reverses-course-says-spacex-will-keep-funding-ukraine-starlink-service-for-free-cnn-business/

CNN —
US billionaire Elon Musk tweeted on Saturday that SpaceX will continue funding Starlink internet service in war-torn Ukraine, apparently reversing course after SpaceX asked the United States military to pick up the tab.
SpaceX’s Starlink satellite internet services have been a vital source of communication for the country’s military during the war with Russia, but as CNN exclusively reported earlier this week, SpaceX warned the Pentagon that it may stop funding the service in Ukraine unless the US military kicks in tens of millions of dollars per month, according to documents obtained by CNN.
The letter also requested that the Pentagon take over funding for Ukraine’s government and military use of Starlink, which SpaceX claims would cost more than $120 million for the rest of the year and could cost close to $400 million for the next 12 months. The report elicited a torrent of tweets from social media users both defending and criticizing the move.
A tweet from Musk’s verified account posted Saturday said, “The hell with it … even though Starlink is still losing money & other companies are getting billions of taxpayer $, we’ll just keep funding Ukraine govt for free.”
Since they first started arriving in Ukraine last spring, the Starlink satellite internet terminals made by Musk’s SpaceX have allowed Ukraine’s military to fight and stay connected even as cellular phone and internet networks have been destroyed in its war with Russia.
A Pentagon spokesperson said Friday afternoon that it had been in communication with SpaceX about the funding of the Starlink satellite communication product as well as other topics.
In response Saturday to a follower who replied to Musk’s tweet, “No good deed goes unpunished,” Musk said, “Even so, we should still do good deeds.”
Musk on Friday had doubled down on SpaceX’s request to the Pentagon in a series of tweets.
“SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely *and* send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households. This is unreasonable,” read one post from Musk’s verified account.
He also said that in asking the Pentagon to pick up the bill for Starlink in Ukraine, he was following the advice of a Ukrainian diplomat who responded to Musk’s Ukraine peace plan earlier this month, before the letter was sent to the Pentagon, with: “F*** off.”
Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, Andrij Melnyk, responded earlier this month to Musk’s claimed peace plan for Russia’s Ukraine war by saying: “F*** off is my very diplomatic reply to you @elonmusk.”
SpaceX’s suggestion that it would stop funding Starlink also came amid rising concern in Ukraine over Musk’s allegiance. Musk recently tweeted a controversial peace plan that would have Ukraine give up Crimea and control over the eastern Luhansk and Donetsk regions.
After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky raised the question of who Musk sides with, he responded that he “still very much support[s] Ukraine” but fears “massive escalation.”
One Ukrainian official, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to Zelensky, appeared to extend an olive branch in a tweet posted Friday, writing, “Let’s be honest. Like it or not, @elonmusk helped us survive the most critical moments of war.”
“Business has the right to its own strategies,” Podolyak’s tweet read. “(We) will find a solution to keep #Starlink working. We expect that the company will provide stable connection till the end of negotiations.”

Biden turning to Trump-era rule to expel Venezuelan migrants
WASHINGTON (AP) — When Joe Biden was running for the White House, he denounced then-President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Biden said Trump’s approach inflicted “cruelty and exclusion at every turn,” including toward those fleeing the “brutal” government of socialist Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Now, with increasing numbers of Venezuelans arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, President Biden has turned to an unlikely source for an election-year solution, taking a page from Trump’s own immigration playbook. Biden has invoked a Trump-era rule that Biden’s Justice Department is fighting in court. Biden wants to deny Venezuelans who are fleeing their crisis-torn country the chance to request asylum at the border.
Ukraine: Rockets strike mayor’s office in occupied Donetsk
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Pro-Kremlin officials are blaming Ukraine for a rocket attack that struck the mayor’s office in a key Ukrainian city controlled by the separatists. The municipal building in Donetsk was seriously damaged by the rocket attack. Separately, Ukrainian officials said Russian rockets struck a city across from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Kyiv also reported holding the line in fierce fighting around the town of Bakhmut. The fighting comes seven weeks into a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south and east. Late Saturday, a Washington-based think tank accused Moscow of forcibly deporting Ukrainians to Russia and said it likely amounted to ethnic cleansing.
UK leader Liz Truss goes from triumph to trouble in 6 weeks
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has only been in office for six weeks. But already her libertarian economic policies have triggered a financial crisis, emergency central bank intervention, multiple U-turns and the firing of her Treasury chief. Now Truss faces a mutiny inside the governing Conservative Party that leaves her leadership hanging by a thread. Conservative lawmaker Robert Halfon accused the government Sunday of treating the country like “laboratory mice on which to carry out ultra, ultra free-market experiments.” Conservatives are mulling whether to try to force out their leader. Truss, meanwhile, has appointed a new Treasury chief, Jeremy Hunt, who plans to rip up much of her economic plan when he makes a budget statement Oct. 31.
China’s Xi calls for military growth as party congress opens
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping has called for faster military development and announced no change in policies that have strained relations with Washington and tightened the ruling Communist Party’s control over society and the economy. China’s most influential figure in decades spoke at the start of a party meeting Sunday that was closely watched by companies, governments and the Chinese public for signs of its future economic and political direction. It comes amid a painful economic slump and tension with Washington and Asian neighbors over trade, technology and security. The congress will install leaders for the next five years. Xi, 69, is expected to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as party leader.
LA’s Black-Latino tensions bared in City Council scandal
Cross-cultural coalitions have ruled Los Angeles politics for decades, helping elect both Black and Latino politicians to top leadership roles in the huge racially and ethnically diverse city. But a shocking recording of racist comments by the city’s City Council president has laid bare the tensions over political power that have been quietly simmering between the Latino and Black communities. Concerns among the African American community have been growing in recent years as the Latino share of the population has grown and as Hispanic politicians have started assuming more leadership roles. Latino leaders around the U.S. have denounced the recorded remarks and called for the resignations of those involved.
AP Top 25: Tennessee up to No. 3, ‘Bama’s top-5 streak ends
Tennessee has moved to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll behind No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Ohio State. It comes after the Volunteers knocked off Alabama, one of five unbeaten teams to fall during a wild weekend. The Crimson Tide dropped three to No. 6 and swapped places with the Vols after Tennessee kicked a field goal as time expired Saturday. Alabama is out of the top-five for the first time since 2019. Georgia is still No. 1 and received 31 first-place votes and No. 2 Ohio State had 17 first-place votes.
Gates Foundation pledges $1.2B to eradicate polio globally
BERLIN (AP) — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation says it is committing $1.2 billion to efforts aimed at ending polio worldwide. The money will be used to help implement the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s strategy through 2026. The foundation says in a statement Sunday that the initiative is trying to end the polio virus in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the last two endemic countries. The money also will be used to stop outbreaks of new variants of the virus. The announcement was made Sunday at the World Health Summit in Berlin.
California city rests easier after serial killings arrest
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of Stockton, California, says his city is resting easier following the weekend arrest of a man suspected of killing six men and wounding a woman in a series of shootings. Mayor Kevin Lincoln said Sunday that he shed tears of relief when he was informed of the arrest of 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee. Police Chief Stanley McFadden says Brownlee had a gun and appeared to be “out hunting” for another victim. Police had been searching for a serial killer who shot five men in the city since July. Police believe the same person killed a man in Oakland. It was not immediately clear whether Brownlee had an attorney who could comment.
Postal worker holdup leads to muscle car theft ring arrests
DETROIT (AP) — Cloned key fobs, high-powered Hellcats and thieves daring police and risking arrest are part of a trend in which vehicles are being stolen from factory lots and dealer showrooms only to be later sold on the street for tens of thousands of dollars less than their worth. A federal complaint says the muscle cars, SUVs and pickups worth $50,000 to more than $100,000 are sold on the street for $3,500 to $15,000. One Ohio-based theft ring came crashing down in June, when an investigation into the holdup of a postal worker led authorities to connect four Cleveland-area men to brazen vehicle thefts in the Detroit area.
Bills rally to beat Chiefs 24-20 in playoff rematch
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Josh Allen threw for 329 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead toss to Dawson Knox with 1:04 left in the game, and the Buffalo Bills beat the Kansas City Chiefs 24-20 on Sunday to exact a small measure of revenge for their epic overtime loss in last year’s playoffs. Stefon Diggs had 10 catches for 148 yards and a touchdown, and Gabe Davis also had a TD catch after torching Kansas City for four of them in January, as the Bills finally walked out of Arrowhead Stadium a winner. Patrick Mahomes threw for 338 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, including one in the final minute as the Chiefs tried to rally for the win.

Twitter Critics Explode Over Trump's Threat To Jews To Be More Grateful To Him Or Else
Twitter Critics Explode Over Trump's Threat To Jews To Be More Grateful To Him Or Else https://digitalarizonanews.com/twitter-critics-explode-over-trumps-threat-to-jews-to-be-more-grateful-to-him-or-else/
Donald Trump critics had a meltdown on Twitter Sunday after the former president warned Jews to be “more appreciative” of him before it’s “too late.”
Trump posted the startling message Sunday morning on Truth Social.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have. Somewhat surprisingly, however, our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.,” he railed.
Trump also wildly claimed that he was so popular in Israel that he could become the nation’s prime minister.
“We’ve been menaced by fascists before, you two-bit goon,” tweeted commentator and author David Rothkopf in response. “We recognize the threat you represent from the darkest pages of our history. That’s why we’ll never submit to your threats.”
But as for any response from Trump’s Republican Party: Crickets.
Most critics were dumbfounded that Trump would expect gratitude from American Jews given his backing for neo-Nazis and his supporters’ drive to turn the U.S. into a Christian nation.
Trump previously alienated Americans when he tried a similar stunt earlier to strong-arm Jewish voters in a 2019 speech at the Israeli American Council National Summit in Florida.
“A lot of you are in the real estate business because I know you very well,” Trump said then. “You’re brutal killers, not nice people at all. But you have to vote for me, you have no choice.”
Critics were particularly furious about Trump’s “before it’s too late” warning. Many viewed it as a threat to again spur his white supremacist mob into violence if he doesn’t get his way.
Former National Security Council member and retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman — who testified against Trump in the first impeachment investigation against him — characterized the warning as “executing the fascist playbook to turn his mob on Jews.”
Harvard University constitutional expert Lawrence Tribe called the message blatantly antisemitic. He reminded Americans that Trump reportedly kept a copy of Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” (My Struggle) next to his bed for several years, adding: “If it quacks like a duck ….”
Countless other tweets were eviscerating.

Somalia Drought: The Moment A Two-Year-Old Dies From Hunger

Hawa, seen here holding her daughter Ubah and with her son Abdiwali lying on the bed, says he had been growing weaker for weeks before they came to get help
By Andrew Harding
BBC News, Dollow
After two days in a small Somali hospital, Abdiwali Abdi seemed to be groping his way towards some sort of recovery.
The two-year-old still weighed just 4.6kg (10lb 2oz) – not much more than a healthy newborn. But he had the energy to moan now, and his mother, Hawa, sat beside him on the bed, in the border town of Dollow, breastfeeding her two-month-old daughter and making hopeful plans to return to their makeshift camp on the dusty outskirts.
“It’s encouraging,” said Fatuma Mohammed, a senior nurse and administrator from Kenya, as she paced around the 17-bed stabilisation ward, with its 17 infants all wrestling with malnutrition, and with the various diseases that keep it company here on the dry, thorny plains of southern Somalia, as the country grapples with its worst drought in 40 years.
“We don’t have food to feed him, but our neighbours have been helping us,” said Hawa, 22, watching her son closely. He’d been growing weaker for weeks, with a fever and diarrhoea, before they finally came to seek help.
The district hospital in Dollow – a dusty little border town in south-western Somalia – has been quietly assisting children like Abdiwali for years. Funded by the UK government, and others, it has built up a network of community workers who provide basic medical support, not just in town, but deep into the contested countryside, where the militant Islamist group al-Shabab controls many villages.
But today, following a fifth failed rainy season, Dollow is being overwhelmed by a surge of new arrivals. Tens of thousands of families like Abdiwali’s – their cattle dead and their farms parched – have gathered in crowded informal settlements, hoping to find food and safety.
“We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of lives [at stake] and people are dying now. We don’t have enough resources to support them,” said Abdulkadir Mohamed, from the Norwegian Refugee Council, watching more families arrive at one of the larger camps.

Doctors wrapped Abdiwali in a thermal blanket to try to raise his body temperature
At the hospital, nearly 100 women sat in the midday heat, nursing malnourished infants, waiting for them to be weighed and assessed.
“It’s going to be really bad here. We’re expecting things to get worse – we’re expecting a formal declaration [of famine] very soon,” said Pamela Wasonga, who runs the hospital’s nutrition programme on behalf of an Irish charity, Trocaire.
The United Nations is warning that 6.7 million people will need food aid in Somalia in the coming months – about 40% of the population.
Overnight, Abdiwali’s condition deteriorated. Soon after nine the next morning, his temperature fell sharply, and two Somali doctors quickly wrapped him in a thermal blanket made of foil. Two beds away, an 18-month-old girl was getting the same, urgent treatment.
“We’re really worried. These children cannot control their temperatures very well. That’s why we never put on the [ceiling] fans in the stabilisation centres. If the child warms up, then the survival rate is higher,” said Ms Mohammed, as a doctor rested a thermometer under Abdiwali’s limp arm.
By now, the boy’s father, Kerad Adan, 28, had arrived at the hospital, and was pacing nervously around the bed.
Before this new drought, the family had been quite well off, with four children, 40 cows and a thatched home near the town of Qansax Dheere, 200km (125 miles) south of Dollow.
But that region, Bay, lies at the centre of the current drought, and, two months ago, the last of the family’s cattle – the source of all their wealth – died. Soon after that, the parents decided to pack up a few belongings on a donkey cart and head north with the family, trekking for six days. Al-Shabab militants tried to stop them leaving the town but settled for confiscating Mr Adan’s mobile phone, smashing it in front of him.
Suddenly the doctors clustered around Abdiwali. One of them used two fingers to press, repeatedly, on his chest, hoping to stimulate a heartbeat. His colleague moved closer to look into the child’s unmoving eyes. The parents stood quietly at the foot of the bed.
And then, at 10:13 on an overcast morning, it was over.
“The heartbeats have gone,” whispered Ms Mohammed, now watching Abdiwali’s mother as she slumped onto the bed and began to cry.
“We’ve been able to rescue quite a lot of babies. But probably things are getting worse now,” said Ms Mohammed, in the manner of someone who has seen such scenes many times.
“It’s so sad and painful when you witness something that can be prevented and can be corrected very easily,” said the hospital’s head doctor, Ali Shueb.
Within minutes, Abdiwali’s father was on the phone, alerting relatives, and planning a funeral, that afternoon.
“Everyone must die, at some time,” he said, quietly, as if to himself.

An ambulance reversed up the narrow lane outside the hospital, and Abdiwali’s parents climbed onboard, the father carefully clutching his son’s body, wrapped in a heavy piece of material, in both hands.
Later, Pamela Wasonga showed visitors the hospital’s well-stocked pharmacy and small laboratory. She first came to Somalia from her home in Kenya during its last famine, in 2011, and has been here ever since, confident that much has changed since then, and that the steady work of the past decade was paying off.
“I think the continuity of service that has been here all along has probably averted a very, very much worse situation. There are more [international] organisations now on the ground, and more local organisations who are able to reach remote and hard to reach areas,” she said.
And yet, just as another famine looms, the hospital has – perhaps temporarily – lost half its international funding as a result of delays caused by political upheavals in the capital, Mogadishu.
Worse still is growing evidence that a distracted world has been slow to recognise the scale of the catastrophe now unfolding in Somalia, with new data showing less than half the humanitarian funding required to respond to the drought is currently in place.
The UK, for instance, provided over £200 million ($223 million) in humanitarian assistance during Somalia’s last serious drought in 2017. This year it is spending less than a quarter of that.
“We ask the world… not to lose focus on Somalia. Somalia needs help now. If we don’t get it, we are heading for a catastrophe, for sure,” said Ms Wasonga.

Abdiwali was buried on the far edge of the Ladan camp
By the time the ambulance reached the far edge of Ladan camp, on the eastern outskirts of town, a crowd had gathered outside the family’s tent.
Flurries of wind whipped up spirals of thick dust. Jerry cans of water were brought in to wash the child’s body. Someone had already bought a special piece of white linen for the burial. Then two neighbours, shovels slung over bony shoulders, set off towards a fenced-off scrap of wasteland to dig a grave. They chose a spot between two other small, child-sized piles of earth.
An hour later, Hawa arrived at the cemetery. By tradition, women do not attend burials. But she and her mother had made it clear they would not be kept away, and so they sat, with a few other women, perhaps 20 metres from the graveside.
“You tried your best.” “You have other children.” The women quietly passed around words of sympathy and encouragement, while Abdiwali’s father took turns with the other men, swinging a pickaxe into the hard, dry earth.
A short prayer followed, then the burial itself. Then Abdiwali’s parents walked back towards their new home, as the wind blew in across the plain, and scraps of rags and litter shook on a thousand, bone-dry, thorn bushes.

DK Quilt Guild: Australian Quilters Outback Tour 2009
DK Quilt Guild: Australian Quilters Outback Tour 2009 https://digitalarizonanews.com/dk-quilt-guild-australian-quilters-outback-tour-2009/
Barossa Valley, South Australia
This will be a bit of a travelogue of the last trip I took with my Mom. We had visited the Quilters World shop in Toowoomba, Queensland, AU and met Pauline Rogers, the owner, in 2005. She had told us that she did quilters tours. So mom’s last wish was to go on this bus tour with 16 Australian and 1 New Zealander quilters. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!
DK Quilt Guild: A place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too.
We joined them for the last 10 days and got to go to Barossa Valley, Kangaroo Island and Adelaide. We visited shops, met with quilt guilds for show and tells, did projects in the evenings and went sightseeing.
Meeting with South Australia Quilters Guild
We each made a cloth memory book for journaling our trip and tried out new techniques and materials.

We had a tutor, Ruth Bloomfield, that led and encouraged our endeavours… She also showed us her technique of confetti piecing and machine applique that involved really tiny pieces of fabric and using them to create a color palette to make wonderful 3-D effects.

Each evening we had time to get to know each other and exchange ideas. One gal’s specialty was Log Cabin blocks in every imaginable size and pattern and another’s was applique especially with Australian themes. It was so much fun to learn and share quilting tales with these women.

I’ll finish with my mom’s redwork quilt that she made in 2007. It has the flowers, birds and animals from each of the 8 States and Territories of Australia. It’s beautiful and I occasionally pull it out to hang in my sewing room to fill the space with memories.

Trump Complains American Jews Don https://digitalarizonanews.com/trump-complains-american-jews-don/
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday criticized American Jews for what he argued was their insufficient praise of his policies toward Israel, warning that they need to “get their act together” before “it is too late!”
The suggestion, made on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social, plays into the antisemitic trope that US Jews have dual loyalties to the US and to Israel, and it drew immediate condemnation.
“No President has done more for Israel than I have,” Trump wrote before saying it was somewhat surprising that “our wonderful Evangelicals are far more appreciative of this than the people of the Jewish faith, especially those living in the U.S.”
The head of the American Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt accused Trump of “Jewsplaining.”
“We don’t need the former president, who curries favor with extremists and antisemites, to lecture us about the US-Israel relationship. It is not about a quid pro quo; it rests on shared values and security interests. This ‘Jewsplaining’ is insulting and disgusting,” he wrote.
The Jewish Democratic Council of America similarly lambasted Trump’s remarks. “His threat to Jewish Americans and his continued use of the antisemitic dual loyalty trope fuels hatred against Jews,” the group tweeted. “We will not be threatened by Donald Trump and Jewish Americans will reject GOP bigotry this November.”
Trump’s comments echo an argument he has made before. In an interview last December, the former President argued that Jewish Americans “either don’t like Israel or don’t care about Israel,” and also repeated his claim that evangelicals “love Israel more than the Jews in this country.”
A Pew Research survey released in 2021 found that 45% of Jewish adults in the US viewed caring about Israel as “essential” to what being Jewish means, with an additional 37% saying it was “important, but not essential.” Only 16% said caring about Israel was “not important.”
During his first campaign for president, Trump delivered a speech to the Republican Jewish Coalition that was rife with antisemitic stereotypes.

Trump Endorses Republican Zeldin In New York Governors Race
Trump Endorses Republican Zeldin In New York Governor’s Race https://digitalarizonanews.com/trump-endorses-republican-zeldin-in-new-york-governors-race/
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Republican candidate Lee Zeldin for governor on Sunday.
With just weeks to go before the election between Zeldin, a current member of Congress, and Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul, Trump sang Zeldin’s praises in a post to Trump’s Truth Social platform.
“I have watched and known Congressman Lee Zeldin for many years. He is a great and brilliant lawyer who was a ‘must see’ for others in Congress when they had a complex legal problem that was holding up legislation,” Trump stated.
“Lee was strong on the Border, Crime, our great Military & Vets (like few others!), and fought hard to protect our 2nd Amendment, and succeeded,” he continued. “Lee Zeldin is a WINNER who GOT THINGS DONE. He will be a GREAT Governor of New York, and has my Complete & Total Endorsement. GOOD LUCK LEE!”
The endorsement suggests Trump thinks Zeldin can pull off an upset in overwhelmingly Democratic New York. Hochul was leading Zeldin by 10% in a recent Marist College poll of voters.
The incumbent was quick to pounce on the endorsement on Sunday.
“Lee Zeldin has enabled and embraced the former president’s extremism since day one — but New Yorkers rejected Trump and they’ll do the same for Lee in November,” Hochul tweeted.
Last month, Trump headlined a fundraiser for Zeldin at the Jersey Shore, drawing fierce attacks from Democrats.
Hochul previously bashed the fundraiser, too.
“To the extent that my political opponent wants to be so closely associated in relying on him for the resources, it’s troubling, but it’s something that the voters I guarantee you will be taking note of,” she said Sept. 6.
A staunch Trump supporter, Zeldin was among the many Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results, which Trump falsely claimed were rigged.

Biden turning to Trump-era rule to expel Venezuelan migrants
WASHINGTON (AP) — When Joe Biden was running for the White House, he denounced then-President Donald Trump’s immigration policies. Biden said Trump’s approach inflicted “cruelty and exclusion at every turn,” including toward those fleeing the “brutal” government of socialist Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela. Now, with increasing numbers of Venezuelans arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, President Biden has turned to an unlikely source for an election-year solution, taking a page from Trump’s own immigration playbook. Biden has invoked a Trump-era rule that Biden’s Justice Department is fighting in court. Biden wants to deny Venezuelans who are fleeing their crisis-torn country the chance to request asylum at the border.
Ukraine: Rockets strike mayor’s office in occupied Donetsk
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Pro-Kremlin officials are blaming Ukraine for a rocket attack that struck the mayor’s office in a key Ukrainian city controlled by the separatists. The municipal building in Donetsk was seriously damaged by the rocket attack. Separately, Ukrainian officials said Russian rockets struck a city across from the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. Kyiv also reported holding the line in fierce fighting around the town of Bakhmut. The fighting comes seven weeks into a Ukrainian counteroffensive in the south and east. Late Saturday, a Washington-based think tank accused Moscow of forcibly deporting Ukrainians to Russia and said it likely amounted to ethnic cleansing.
UK leader Liz Truss goes from triumph to trouble in 6 weeks
LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has only been in office for six weeks. But already her libertarian economic policies have triggered a financial crisis, emergency central bank intervention, multiple U-turns and the firing of her Treasury chief. Now Truss faces a mutiny inside the governing Conservative Party that leaves her leadership hanging by a thread. Conservative lawmaker Robert Halfon accused the government Sunday of treating the country like “laboratory mice on which to carry out ultra, ultra free-market experiments.” Conservatives are mulling whether to try to force out their leader. Truss, meanwhile, has appointed a new Treasury chief, Jeremy Hunt, who plans to rip up much of her economic plan when he makes a budget statement Oct. 31.
China’s Xi calls for military growth as party congress opens
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping has called for faster military development and announced no change in policies that have strained relations with Washington and tightened the ruling Communist Party’s control over society and the economy. China’s most influential figure in decades spoke at the start of a party meeting Sunday that was closely watched by companies, governments and the Chinese public for signs of its future economic and political direction. It comes amid a painful economic slump and tension with Washington and Asian neighbors over trade, technology and security. The congress will install leaders for the next five years. Xi, 69, is expected to break with tradition and award himself a third five-year term as party leader.
GOP hopefuls turn to Pence to broaden appeal before election
NEW YORK (AP) — In Donald Trump’s assessment, his Vice President Mike Pence “committed political suicide” on Jan. 6, 2021. That was the day when Pence refused to go along with Trump’s unconstitutional push to overturn the results of the 2020 election that Trump lost. And that was the day of the Capitol riot. Pence’s decision made him a prime target of Trump’s wrath and a pariah in many Republican circles. But in the final weeks of the 2022 election, Pence has emerged as an in-demand draw for Republican candidates. That includes some candidates who are trying to make moderate appeals after spending much of the primary season courting Trump and parroting his lie that his 2020 race was stolen.
LA’s Black-Latino tensions bared in City Council scandal
Cross-cultural coalitions have ruled Los Angeles politics for decades, helping elect both Black and Latino politicians to top leadership roles in the huge racially and ethnically diverse city. But a shocking recording of racist comments by the city’s City Council president has laid bare the tensions over political power that have been quietly simmering between the Latino and Black communities. Concerns among the African American community have been growing in recent years as the Latino share of the population has grown and as Hispanic politicians have started assuming more leadership roles. Latino leaders around the U.S. have denounced the recorded remarks and called for the resignations of those involved.
AP Top 25: Tennessee up to No. 3, ‘Bama’s top-5 streak ends
Tennessee has moved to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll behind No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Ohio State. It comes after the Volunteers knocked off Alabama, one of five unbeaten teams to fall during a wild weekend. The Crimson Tide dropped three to No. 6 and swapped places with the Vols after Tennessee kicked a field goal as time expired Saturday. Alabama is out of the top-five for the first time since 2019. Georgia is still No. 1 and received 31 first-place votes and No. 2 Ohio State had 17 first-place votes.
Gates Foundation pledges $1.2B to eradicate polio globally
BERLIN (AP) — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation says it is committing $1.2 billion to efforts aimed at ending polio worldwide. The money will be used to help implement the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s strategy through 2026. The foundation says in a statement Sunday that the initiative is trying to end the polio virus in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the last two endemic countries. The money also will be used to stop outbreaks of new variants of the virus. The announcement was made Sunday at the World Health Summit in Berlin.
California city rests easier after serial killings arrest
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of Stockton, California, says his city is resting easier following the weekend arrest of a man suspected of killing six men and wounding a woman in a series of shootings. Mayor Kevin Lincoln said Sunday that he shed tears of relief when he was informed of the arrest of 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee. Police Chief Stanley McFadden says Brownlee had a gun and appeared to be “out hunting” for another victim. Police had been searching for a serial killer who shot five men in the city since July. Police believe the same person killed a man in Oakland. It was not immediately clear whether Brownlee had an attorney who could comment.
Postal worker holdup leads to muscle car theft ring arrests
DETROIT (AP) — Cloned key fobs, high-powered Hellcats and thieves daring police and risking arrest are part of a trend in which vehicles are being stolen from factory lots and dealer showrooms only to be later sold on the street for tens of thousands of dollars less than their worth. A federal complaint says the muscle cars, SUVs and pickups worth $50,000 to more than $100,000 are sold on the street for $3,500 to $15,000. One Ohio-based theft ring came crashing down in June, when an investigation into the holdup of a postal worker led authorities to connect four Cleveland-area men to brazen vehicle thefts in the Detroit area.

4 Things To Know Before Buying A Wood Pellet Grill AZ Big Media
4 Things To Know Before Buying A Wood Pellet Grill – AZ Big Media https://digitalarizonanews.com/4-things-to-know-before-buying-a-wood-pellet-grill-az-big-media/
Fall and football are in full swing, making it the optimal season to fire up the grill. A wood pellet grill is a great option because wood-fired flavor pairs well with cooler temperatures and game day adventures.

For those considering trying a wood pellet grill, the barbecue experts at Pit Boss® grills have compiled the top things you should know before purchasing your first pellet grill:
Pellet grills offer more temperature control than gas or charcoal grills.
Pit Boss pellet grills are outdoor cookers that combine elements of smokers, charcoal/gas grills, and ovens. They use hardwood barbecue pellets as the fuel source for direct and indirect heat.
Wood pellets are poured into a storage container called a hopper, then fed into a cooking chamber by the auger. The wood pellets ignite, heating the cooking chamber. Air is brought in by intake fans to disperse heat and smoke throughout the cooking area.
This allows for precise temperature control – either digitally or with a dial – typically ranging from 180°F to 500°F.
Pellet grills are versatile, allowing for multiple cooking styles.
With a Pit Boss, you can grill, smoke, bake, sear, braise, char-grill, barbecue, and roast – all in one thanks to the wide temperature range.
While pellet grills bring the heat, cold smoking is possible too.
Cold smoking is the process of smoking food from your ambient air temperature up to around 120°F. It doesn’t cook the food but infuses it with smoky flavor. This is ideal for foods like salmon, salami, and cheese.
The pellet fuel you use matters.
Not all hardwood pellets are the same, and we recommend using Pit Boss 100% all-natural pellets for the best results.
Pit Boss pellets are made from high quality, ethically sourced food grade hardwood and NEVER contain artificial flavors, spray scents, glues, or chemicals. Locally sourced hardwood is pressurized to create compact pellets held together with the wood’s natural lignin.
This process ensures a hotter, cleaner burn to deliver flavorful “blue” smoke and minimal ash, infusing food with natural, wood-fired flavor, without making a mess of the grill.
Pellet grilling isn’t as difficult as you might think.
The only “skills” required are the ability to load pellets into the hopper and press buttons.
No need to tend a fire here. Just select your desired temperature and let the Pit Boss do the work.
It really is that easy.

Updated Oct. 16, 2022 6:02 pm ET
HONG KONG—Chinese leader Xi Jinping cast himself as the decisive helmsman his country needs in surmounting great adversity, pledging to build a more secure, powerful and egalitarian nation as he signaled plans to extend his decadelong rule.
In a Sunday speech, opening a Communist Party congress where he is set to defy recent norms and claim a third term as party chief, Mr. Xi issued a robust defense of his record, shaking off concerns over Covid-19, a sluggish economy and troubled ties with the U.S. He recalled his efforts to curb corruption, rally public support for the party and champion China’s political system as a counterweight to Western liberal democracy.

Make Them Suffer Drop New Video And Announce New Album |
Make Them Suffer Drop New Video And Announce New Album | https://digitalarizonanews.com/make-them-suffer-drop-new-video-and-announce-new-album/
Make Then Suffer have a new lineup featuring a new member after their latest clean vocalist and keyboardist was asked to leave due to sexual assault allegations. They also dropped a new video for their latest track.
The new track is called “Doomswitch,” which is “a term used to describe a theoretical mechanism where an online poker site inflicts bad luck on a player,” according to their press release. It’s also a cool name for a song. Peep the video below.
Hailing from Perth, this is a big moment for the metalcore band, as clean vocalist and keyboardist Alex Reade has officially joined the team. Their former clean vocalist and keyboardist, Booka Nile, was asked to leave the band in February of this year following allegations that she sexually assaulted a man she slept with.
Of the new song, the band say,
“Sean (Harmanis, vocals) related to this term and, at the time, it felt as if a ‘Doomswitch’ had flicked on his life, so we used the concept as the main inspiration for the song. We’ve adopted a new element into our sound along with the inclusion of a new member: Alex. This song marks a new chapter and the next step forward for the band and the sonic shift in ‘Doomswitch’ really drives that home.”
The video was directed by Colin Jeffs and filmed at The Paint Factory in Brisbane.
The band are touring the U.S. this fall with Bad Omens and Dayseeker. Check the dates out here:

Jan. 6 Committee Members Urge Donald Trump To Testify
Jan. 6 Committee Members Urge Donald Trump To Testify https://digitalarizonanews.com/jan-6-committee-members-urge-donald-trump-to-testify/
If former President Donald Trump really has nothing to hide, he should comply with the recently issued subpoena from the special House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 siege of the U.S. Capitol, a panel member said Sunday.
The comments from Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) came after the committee on Thursday took the extraordinary step of subpoenaing the ex-commander-in-chief, saying the future of democracy is at stake as it winds down its probe.
“He has nothing to hide, is what he says,” Kinzinger said of Trump on ABC’s “This Week.” “So he should come in on the day we ask him to come.”
But he voiced uncertainty about what happens if Trump — who sent a defiant letter to the committee on Friday — does not comply.
“If he pushes off beyond that, we’ll figure out what to do next,” the congressman said. “Granted that … this is not an unprecedented move by Congress, but it’s also, we recognize — this is a big deal. This is a big move.”
Trump’s letter called the work of the committee “a charade and witch hunt,” but he did not directly address the subpoena.

Since the special committee was formed last year, the former president has repeatedly derided it, telling former staffers to defy subpoenas.
While Trump may be unlikely to comply, Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said last week that Trump’s testimony would be vital.
“He is the one person at the center of the story of what happened on Jan. 6,” Thompson said Thursday.
“He must be accountable,” he added. “He is required to answer for his actions.”
Kinzinger echoed that sentiment on Sunday.
“He’s required by law to come in and he can ramble and push back all he wants,” the congressman said. “That’s the requirement for congressional subpoena, to come in.”
In a series of dramatic public hearings that began in the summer, the committee has detailed Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and his refusal to intervene when throngs of his supporters stormed Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.
“We’ve been gathering additional information and we’ve gotten new information, even since the July hearing,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) said Sunday when asked why the committee didn’t subpoena Trump earlier.

“We have always pursued this investigation, calling in whoever we need to as the information and the facts detail,” she told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And so that’s why you see that we have asked the central figure in the effort to overturn the 2020 election to turn over documents, as well as provide sworn testimony.”
The committee is only authorized to work until the current Congress ends on Jan. 3, 2022.
Like Kinzinger, Murphy voiced uncertainty about what happens if Trump defies the subpoena.
“I won’t engage in any hypotheticals at this moment, as the subpoena hasn’t yet even been served,” she said. “But I will say … that with previous subpoenas, what you’ve seen the committee do is be very deliberate and take the response to our subpoenas on a case-by-case basis.”
Kinzinger, who exits office at the end of this term, said the committee’s work will resonate beyond 2023.
“What happened on Jan. 6 was terrible. What led up to that and what happened since is what I’m more worried about,” he said.
“Democracies are not defined by those bad days, but how we come back from those bad days,” Kinzinger added. “This is that process. This is laying out before the American people what happened and determining we can never do this again.”

LA’s Black-Latino tensions bared in City Council scandal
Cross-cultural coalitions have ruled Los Angeles politics for decades, helping elect both Black and Latino politicians to top leadership roles in the huge racially and ethnically diverse city. But a shocking recording of racist comments by the city’s City Council president has laid bare the tensions over political power that have been quietly simmering between the Latino and Black communities. Concerns among the African American community have been growing in recent years as the Latino share of the population has grown and as Hispanic politicians have started assuming more leadership roles. Latino leaders around the U.S. have denounced the recorded remarks and called for the resignations of those involved.
AP Top 25: Tennessee up to No. 3, ‘Bama’s top-5 streak ends
Tennessee has moved to No. 3 in The Associated Press college football poll behind No. 1 Georgia and No. 2 Ohio State. It comes after the Volunteers knocked off Alabama, one of five unbeaten teams to fall during a wild weekend. The Crimson Tide dropped three to No. 6 and swapped places with the Vols after Tennessee kicked a field goal as time expired Saturday. Alabama is out of the top-five for the first time since 2019. Georgia is still No. 1 and received 31 first-place votes and No. 2 Ohio State had 17 first-place votes.
Gates Foundation pledges $1.2B to eradicate polio globally
BERLIN (AP) — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation says it is committing $1.2 billion to efforts aimed at ending polio worldwide. The money will be used to help implement the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s strategy through 2026. The foundation says in a statement Sunday that the initiative is trying to end the polio virus in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the last two endemic countries. The money also will be used to stop outbreaks of new variants of the virus. The announcement was made Sunday at the World Health Summit in Berlin.
California city rests easier after serial killings arrest
STOCKTON, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of Stockton, California, says his city is resting easier following the weekend arrest of a man suspected of killing six men and wounding a woman in a series of shootings. Mayor Kevin Lincoln said Sunday that he shed tears of relief when he was informed of the arrest of 43-year-old Wesley Brownlee. Police Chief Stanley McFadden says Brownlee had a gun and appeared to be “out hunting” for another victim. Police had been searching for a serial killer who shot five men in the city since July. Police believe the same person killed a man in Oakland. It was not immediately clear whether Brownlee had an attorney who could comment.
Postal worker holdup leads to muscle car theft ring arrests
DETROIT (AP) — Cloned key fobs, high-powered Hellcats and thieves daring police and risking arrest are part of a trend in which vehicles are being stolen from factory lots and dealer showrooms only to be later sold on the street for tens of thousands of dollars less than their worth. A federal complaint says the muscle cars, SUVs and pickups worth $50,000 to more than $100,000 are sold on the street for $3,500 to $15,000. One Ohio-based theft ring came crashing down in June, when an investigation into the holdup of a postal worker led authorities to connect four Cleveland-area men to brazen vehicle thefts in the Detroit area.

$1150 Reward Offered After Research Bobcat Illegally Killed In Tucson Wildlife Official Say
$1,150 Reward Offered After Research Bobcat Illegally Killed In Tucson, Wildlife Official Say https://digitalarizonanews.com/1150-reward-offered-after-research-bobcat-illegally-killed-in-tucson-wildlife-official-say/
TUCSON, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — Arizona wildlife officials are asking for the public’s help in finding the person (or people) responsible for killing a bobcat that was being used for a research project
According to the Arizona Game and Fish Department, the bobcat was killed on the morning of Sept. 28 between Whispering Bell Drive and Painted Hills Road in Tucson. Officials say the animal was being used to study how wildlife interacts with the urban community on the city’s west side.
A Reward Is Being Offered Of Up to $1,150 in The Tucson Killing of Research Project Bobcat(Arizona Game and Fish)
“This was the act of a criminal, a person without regard for one of the state’s most precious resources, its wildlife,” said Regional Supervisor Raul Vega of Game and Fish in Tucson. He says it was a project that was being funded in part by the agency’s Heritage Fund grant.
Now officials want answers and they are offering up to $1,150 for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information is asked Arizona Game and Fish Department’s Operation Game Thief Hotline at 800-352-0700 and reference OGT #22-003130.
Officers warn that the crime for illegally taking wildlife is four months in jail and a possible $750 criminal fine. In some cases, civil penalties apply as well.

Trump Backs Zeldin In NY Governor Race As Hochuls Lead Narrows
Trump Backs Zeldin In NY Governor Race As Hochul’s Lead Narrows https://digitalarizonanews.com/trump-backs-zeldin-in-ny-governor-race-as-hochuls-lead-narrows/
Bebeto Matthews/The Associated Press
Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) prepares to participate in a Republican gubernatorial debate in June.
Former President Trump on Sunday endorsed Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) in the New York gubernatorial race, calling the GOP candidate a “winner” in a post on Truth Social.
“I have watched and known Congressman Lee Zeldin for many years,” Trump wrote. “He is a great and brilliant lawyer who was a ‘must see’ for others in Congress when they had a complex legal problem that was holding up legislation. “
Zeldin was among the House Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election affirming Joe Biden’s win, which Trump continues to falsely claim was fraudulent.
Zeldin is lagging behind in the polls against his Democratic opponent, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).
A Marist poll last week showed 51 percent of New York voters back Hochul while 41 percent support Zeldin.
Over the weekend, Zeldin seized on the news that Real Clear Politics listed the race as a toss-up as Hochul’s lead narrowed in other polls.
“We have just 24 days to go until we FIRE @KathyHochul & save our state,” Zeldin tweeted on Saturday.
Zeldin has campaigned on a typical GOP playbook: reducing crime, fighting inflation and protecting children in schools against “indoctrination and brainwashing.”
Trump, who is from the Empire State and grew his father’s real estate business out of New York City, said Zeldin will be a “great” governor for New York and had earned his “complete” endorsement.
“Lee was strong on the Border, Crime, our great Military & Vets (like few others!), and fought hard to protect our 2nd Amendment, and succeeded,” the former president wrote on Sunday. “Lee Zeldin is a WINNER who GOT THINGS DONE.”
