The United States will provide nearly $157 million in new U.S. humanitarian assistance to support populations affected by conflict in Lebanon and the region. This funding will address new and existing needs of internally displaced persons and refugee populations inside Lebanon and the communities that host them. The assistance will also support those fleeing to neighboring Syria.

This life-saving assistance from the American people includes nearly $82 million immediately available through the Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration and $75 million through the United States Agency for International Development’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance. Of this total, USAID has already deployed $11.5 million, and working with Congress plans to make another $63.5 million available in the coming weeks, to ensure that vital humanitarian assistance can continue to reach the most vulnerable communities in need. This emergency food, shelter, blankets, hygiene kits, protection, water, and sanitation assistance will be a critical lifeline for those who have endured unimaginable hardships.

The United States provided nearly $386 million over the last year to support vulnerable populations in Lebanon and Syria impacted by the increase in conflict. This new humanitarian assistance comes at a time of devastating humanitarian crisis for Lebanon, with more than a million people displaced from their homes. The United States is committed to helping those most vulnerable in Lebanon and throughout the region. We urge other donors to join us in stepping up to contribute to these new humanitarian needs.

North Korea poised to deploy troops to Ukraine  Story by IntelliNews  18hrs ago

North Korea is reportedly preparing to send members of its regular armed forces to Ukraine in support of Russia, highlighting the escalating military cooperation between the two nations. This assessment was made by South Korea's Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun, who pointed to the recent bilateral agreement signed by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which includes a mutual defence clause, as a significant indicator of deepening ties, as reported by Yonhap.

During a parliamentary audit session, Kim emphasised that the signing of this mutual treaty resembles a military alliance, making the deployment of North Korean troops a plausible scenario. He also commented on a recent report regarding North Korean casualties in a Russian-occupied area near Donetsk, suggesting that such claims may indeed have merit. According to the Kyiv Post, six North Korean officers were reportedly killed and three others injured during a Ukrainian missile strike on October 3, as indicated by intelligence sources.

The geopolitical climate further intensifies with concerns surrounding North Korea's intentions regarding its maritime boundaries. When questioned about the possibility of Pyongyang declaring a new maritime border further south of the current de facto sea border, known as the Northern Limit Line (NLL), Kim firmly stated that South Korea would respond decisively to any such provocation. He reaffirmed that the existing NLL is a fiercely defended boundary and that any attempt to alter it would meet with stern retaliation.

This announcement follows North Korea's recent parliamentary meeting, where discussions reportedly centred on constitutional revisions, including the potential removal of clauses related to unification and a clarification of the country's territorial claims. Experts warn that North Korea might leverage a unilateral declaration of a new maritime border as a pretext for further provocations, exacerbating tensions in the region.

As North Korea aligns more closely with Russia, the implications for regional security become increasingly concerning. The possibility of North Korean forces on Ukrainian soil marks a significant shift in the dynamics of the ongoing conflict, underlining the risks posed by the evolving relationship between these two nations.

Mayorkas says FEMA has no more disaster funds, but IG report says agency is sitting  Story by Elizabeth MacDonald • 5h •

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faces a new firestorm of criticism for claiming FEMA is out of disaster funds right as the Inspector General for Homeland Security released a report saying FEMA is sitting on at least $8.3 billion in untapped, unspent funds. 

On Oct 2, Mayorkas said, "We are expecting another hurricane hitting. We do not have the funds. FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season and what is imminent."

This new controversy is surfacing as Hurricane Milton is strengthening into a Cat 4 and massive evacuations are now underway in Florida, which is still struggling from Hurricane Helene, as is much of the Southeast.  

But analysts say FEMA cannot tap unspent appropriations from long-ago crises, so the money sits frozen as 600 people are reportedly still missing from Hurricane Helene, at least 220 died, and entire towns were wiped off the map. Helene is the most catastrophic hurricane to hit the U.S. since Katrina in 2005.

Budget experts warn that this new firestorm shows that FEMA has been turned into a slush fund that the agency and the Biden-Harris White House can spend at will. 

An August 2024 report from Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General noted, "As of October 2022, FEMA estimated that 847 disaster declarations with approximately $73 billion in unliquidated funds remained open." The report also says "$8.3 billion in unliquidated obligations" was "for disasters declared in 2012 or earlier" that analysts say could be returned to help people battling for survival in disasters now. on billions

Gary Franks: Did October 1 mark the beginning of the end for the Harris-Walz campaign?   Opinion by Gary Franks, Tribune Content Agency• 19h •

Ohio Senator JD Vance did exactly what he had to do during the vice-presidential debate with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Vance was outstanding. He adroitly handled the questions and issues in a way that clearly informed America why they should support a Trump-Vance ticket for the White House come November.

Vance’s answers on women’s issues and former President Donald Trump’s recent announcement that he would veto any national ban on abortion rights, both should shore up pivotal support from women.

And Walz – Vice President Kamala Harris’s first major decision as a candidate for president – imploded on the stage. Even the liberal media spin doctors could not resuscitate him. He proved that he was not ready for prime time. Not having prime time moments is fine with Walz and Harris as they both have been doing their best to avoid the media – by not doing interviews – like Superman avoids kryptonite.

The Biden-Harris administration continues to manifest its incompetence on foreign affairs in two parts of the globe. We have two wars that the U.S. is funding to the tune of hundreds of billion dollars (that we have to borrow and add to our over $35 trillion national debt). Each war could very well unleash weapons of mass destruction, which have not been used in nearly 80 years, since World War II.

Russia has repeatedly threatened to use these weapons if its interior, especially Moscow, is bombed by Ukraine with U.S.-made long-range missiles. And the ever-expanding war in the Middle East which now includes Lebanon and Iran could force such a result as Israel retaliates for the October 7 senseless killings, kidnappings and attack on innocent Israeli civilians. President Joe Biden’s attempts to lead on either have failed. Clearly when America’s president shows little strength there is no peace.

Would Harris do better than Biden here? Doubtful. With Trump however, we had no wars in four years, proving peace is ensured through strength.

Yes, Non-Citizens Are Being Registered To Vote And Are Voting   George Rasley, CHQ Editor  6 days ago

Our friend J. Christian Adams and his team at the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) have just released another bombshell report on vote fraud and non-citizens registering to vote.

And it turns out that, despite Democrats denying such crimes are being committed, thousands of aliens have registered to vote and are voting.

In her analysis of the report independent journalist Sharyl Attkisson found non-citizens have been added to voter rolls in several states through motor vehicle departments (DMVs), even after stating they were not US citizens. These registrations occurred as part of the “motor voter” process, which allows individuals to register to vote while completing DMV transactions.

Jesse Watters Reveals Big Update In 2024 Race Martin Waief  October 1, 2024 Conservative Brief

Explain America

Fox News host Jesse Watters revealed a big update in the 2024 presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Kamala is not Joe Biden and yes she has a woman and there’s excitement around that. You should see my mom. Suddenly she’s a Kamala fanatic. Keeps talking about joy,” he began on his show “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

“Trump kept one woman out of the White House and he can do it again. This country is thirsty for leadership after four years of joked hideaway Harris isn’t going to fly and only so much bamboo sling voters can tolerate. And you can sense in the room today the press thrilled they can justify their paychecks. Kamala Harris hasn’t held a press conference since 2023 and that wasn’t even in America. It was in Dubai. Trump got the gang back together and this is what democracy looks like,” Watters continued.

THIS IS RIGHT ON THE NOSE. .......READ IT SLOWLY... I DON'T KNOW WHO WROTE IT, BUT I AM GUESSING IT WAS A SENIOR!!! I FIRST STARTED READING THIS AND WAS READING FAST UNTIL I REACHED THE THIRD SENTENCE. I STOPPED AND STARTED OVER READING SLOWER AND THINKING ABOUT EVERY WORD. THIS IS VERY THOUGHT-PROVOKING. MAKES YOU STOP AND THINK.

AND THEN IT IS WINTER You know. . . time has a way of moving quickly and catching you unaware of the passing years.

It seems just yesterday that I was young, just married and embarking on my new life with my mate. Yet in a way, it seems like eons ago, and I wonder where all the years went. I know that I lived them all. I have glimpses of how it was back then and of all my hopes and dreams. But, here it is... the winter of my life and it catches me by surprise...How did I get here so fast? Where did the years go and where did my youth go?

I remember well seeing older people through the years and thinking that those older people were years away from me and that winter was so far off that I could not fathom it or imagine fully what it would be like. But, here it is...my friends are retired and getting grey...they move slower and I see an older person now. Some are in better and some worse shape than me...but, I see the great change....Not like the ones that I remember who were young and vibrant...but, like me, their age is beginning to show and we are now those older folks that we used to see and never thought we'd be.

Each day now, I find that just getting a shower is a real target for the day! And taking a nap is not a treat anymore... it's mandatory! Cause if I don't on my own free will... I just fall asleep where I sit!

And so...now I enter into this new season of my life unprepared for all the aches and pains and the loss of strength and ability to go and do things that I wish I had done but never did!

But, at least I know, that though the winter has come, and I'm not sure how long it will last...this I know, that when it's over on this earth...it's NOT over. A new adventure will begin!

Yes, I have regrets. There are things I wish I hadn't done...things I should have done, but indeed, there are many things I'm happy to have done. It's all in a lifetime.

So, if you're not in your winter yet...let me remind you, that it will be here faster than you think. So, whatever you would like to accomplish in your life please do it quickly! Don't put things off too long!

Life goes by quickly. So, do what you can today, as you can never be sure whether this is your winter or not! You have no promise that you will see all the seasons of your life...so, live for today and say all the things that you want your loved ones to remember...and hope that they appreciate and love you for all the things that you have done for them in all the years past!

"Life" is a gift to you. The way you live your life is your gift to those who come after. Make it a fantastic one.

LIVE IT WELL! ENJOY TODAY! DO SOMETHING FUN! BE HAPPY! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

REMEMBER:....

"It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

"LIVE HAPPY IN THIS YEAR AND EVERY YEAR!

LASTLY, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING:

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL EVER BE SO - ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

~Your kids are becoming you.......

~Going out is good.. Coming home is better!

~You forget names.... But it's OK because other people forgot they even knew you!!!

~You realize you're never going to be really good at anything

~The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don't care to do them anymore.

~You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It's called "pre-sleep".

~You miss the days when everything worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..

~You tend to use more 4 letter words ... "what?"..."when?"... "what?" . ???

~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

~You notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!

~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.

~Everybody whispers.

~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet.... 2 of which you will never wear.

~But Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!!

Stay well, "OLD FRIEND!" Send this on to other "Old Friends!" and let them laugh in AGREEMENT!!!

Top Democrat Proposes New Bill Ahead of Possible Trump Victory   Story by Kevin Scott

Former President Donald Trump has faced four criminal indictments, including two at the state level in New York and Georgia, and two federal indictments in Florida and Washington, D.C. Following a New York trial in May 2024, Trump was convicted on all charges. His sentencing is set for November 26.

As the election draws near, Knewz.com is reporting that Rep. Adam Schiff has proposed a new law designed to stop a sitting president from being able to terminate their own criminal cases. “This is about protecting our democracy and ensuring a President can’t place themselves above the law,” Schiff said. “There is every indication that Donald Trump will use the Justice Department to do away with any effort to hold him accountable.”

Bombshell Transcripts Reveal Trump, in Fact, Ordered National Guard for January 6th — General Milley Confirms Trump Urges Top Pentagon Officials to Deploy’ Guard, or Soldiers, Active Duty Soldiers’ Jon Cherry/Getty Images News

A groundbreaking report from Steve Baker has unveiled crucial transcripts proving that President Donald Trump did indeed request National Guard deployment to ensure a peaceful protest on January 6th, 2021.

These newly surfaced transcripts, which were previously concealed, reveal the truth that many in the mainstream media have ignored.

According to the documents, General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, confirmed that President Trump expressed concern about the potential for unrest and proactively ordered the necessary precautions.

On January 3, 2021, just three days before the protest, General Milley recalled the president saying, “Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th. Make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.” Trump reportedly added, “I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.”

These damning revelations fly in the face of the narrative propagated by the mainstream media and Democrats who have continuously blamed Trump for the chaos that unfolded on January 6th. The president’s clear directive to deploy the National Guard days before the event highlights his intentions to maintain law and order during the protest.

The transcripts also reveal that other Pentagon officials failed to act on Trump’s requests. Chief Steven Sund of the U.S. Capitol Police made an urgent plea for the National Guard on January 6th.

GENERAL MARK MILLEY, CHAIRMAN, JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF:

“[January 3, 2021] The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protesters here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.” *

“[POTUS said! ‘Hey, I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.

“[On January 6, 2021] everyone was like, “Did you listen to the President’s speech?” I’m like “The guy speaks for 90 minutes it’s like Castro or something.?” No, I’ve got work to do.”

“I was cognizant of the fears that the President would invoke the Insurrection Act to politicize the military in an anti-democratic manner. And, just before the Electoral College certification, 10 former Secretaries of Defense signed an op-ed piece published in The Washington Post warning of the dangers of politicizing and using inappropriately the military. No such thing was going to occur on my watch.”

“There was absolutely – there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period.’

“The operational plan was this, let’s take the D.C. National Guard, keep them away from the Capitol.”* 

CHIEF STEVEN SUND, U.S. CAPITOL POLICE:

“I’m making an urgent request for the National Guard. We are being overrun. I gave a quick rundown of what we had going on and that officers out there are fighting for their lives. We were about to be taken over.
The representative from the Secretary of the Army said, “I don’t like the optics of National Guard standing in a line with the Capitol in the background.” *

“I explained to them that the building is being breached. I need their assistance immediately. He [General Piatt] said, “My recommendation to the Secretary of the Army is to not support the request.”
