Trump Unveils $8 Billion Harvest Fuel Relief Program To Support Farmers

President Donald Trump announced a new Department of Agriculture program offering $8 billion to farmers during harvest season, as rising diesel costs strain operations nationwide.

"And when the Republicans win, we will pass even more funding for our farmers," Trump told a standing-room-only crowd of thousands during a rally in the Heartland Credit Union Arena in Park City, just north of Wichita, Kansas.

The Harvest Fuel Relief program will use a formula to determine losses and offset increased diesel costs, with calculations similar to those used in the established Farmer Bridge Assistance program, according to a statement from the Department of Agriculture.

This $8 billion dollar investment will help bring certainty to our farmers during this harvest so they can continue to feed our nation," Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in a statement released shortly after the president's announcement.

Diesel prices averaged $6.18 per gallon nationwide as of Oct. 12, up about $2.51 per gallon from the same time last year, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

During an approximately 90-minute address, Trump highlighted recent policies his administration enacted to benefit farmers and rural Americans, including raising production targets for ethanol-based biofuels to the highest levels recorded, a move the president estimated would boost farm incomes in Kansas by $4 billion, collectively, per year.

JD Vance On Endorsing Netanyahu: I’ll Pass

Vice President J.D. Vance said Monday he would not endorse Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in an interview with journalist Mark Halperin.

President Donald Trump offered Netanyahu his full endorsement Sunday ahead of Israel’s elections later this month.

"I endorse American candidates, and that’s where I’m focused on is the midterm,” Vance told Halperin aboard Air Force Two. “I’m not getting involved in Israeli elections.”

“I’m not anti-endorsing him. I’m not pro-endorsing him. I’m not getting involved in Israeli elections,” the vice president added.

45 Seconds Into Softball Interview, Netanyahu Tells Mark Levin He Wants To Drag The US Even Deeper Into Iran War

Less than a minute into Mark Levin’s softball interview with Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, the Israeli prime minister, should he win re-election, said his goal for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s last two years in office would be to drag the United States deeper into the Iran War.

“What is it that you want to do in the last two years of Donald Trump’s presidency? What would you do?” Levin asked.

"Achieve the complete elimination of the Iranian threat to Israel, to America, and to the world,” Netanyahu responded. “This is a regime that chants ‘death to Israel,’ ‘death to America’ — you’re the real target. I think we are well on our way to achieving this with President Trump’s brilliant leadership, both militarily and then economic blockade, very effective. Let’s complete the job and have the people of Iran seize their own future. It changes the Middle East.”

Netanyahu then went on to say that his second goal would be expanding the Abraham Accords with new peace agreements. His third, he said, would be to capitalize on new artificial intelligence technologies to bolster different economic sectors, including agriculture and transportation, as well as education.

Throughout the 30-minute interview, Levin made no mention of recent attacks in the West Bank by Israeli settlers that have targeted European diplomats and a 64-year-old Washington Post photographer, Heidi Levine, who was left hospitalized Friday. Multiple videos showed masked Israeli settlers repeatedly beating Levine with clubs and kicking her while she was on the ground. Settlers have also targeted and killed several U.S. citizens during Trump’s second term — a fact that Levin’s stepson, David Milstein, U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee’s top aide, allegedly downplayed to make his host country look better

Bombshell: Lithuanian Defense Minister Reveals Ukrainian Drones Used in St. Petersburg Attack Came From Polish Airspace

Last night Ukraine launched another large-scale attack on the St. Petersburg region, which according to reports was the largest of the war as it targeted multiple different enterprises, including oil and data center facilities.

The Ukrainian operation against Saint Petersburg, Russia, has been the largest in this war against this Russian city.

Three major targets were hit during this operation:

• The local oil terminal respectively the oil storage units

• The VKontakte Datacenter

• The local Ozon logistics hub

The biggest story surrounding the attack, however, is that once again Ukraine utilized NATO airspace to carry out the attack and, presumably, to bypass Russian air defenses.

Before we get into the details, let us first bring reminder of the last time this happened during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) in June of this year, which we covered in the following piece:

Ukraine launched a major drone attack on Russia’s St. Petersburg to coincide with the annual St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF). The purpose was obviously to humiliate Russia in front of its many international attendees, which included US State Department personnel and foreign dignitaries.

We regret the incident that occurred this morning in Lithuanian airspace, which may have resulted from Russian electronic warfare diverting drones during an operation against legitimate military targets in Russia.

We apologise for any disruption, risks, and concern this may have caused.

We are committed to sharing all relevant information with our Lithuanian partners to establish the full circumstances of the incident. We will continue to work closely together to prevent similar incidents in the future.

We sincerely thank Lithuania, our ally, for supporting Ukraine in countering Russian aggression, which is the root case of the security threats in our region.

Some Russian channels have mapped the incident as follows, utilizing the air alerts and civil warnings that were issued in various central Lithuanian counties, as well as those in bordering regions of Latvia:

EXPOSED: THE DOMINION LIST — McConnell, Thune, Newsom & Warren accused of taking millions in bribes to rig 2026 midterms and block Trump’s Save America Act!

A former Dominion Voting Systems employee has come forward with a massive “Dominion List” exposing how top politicians from both parties accepted millions in bribes and kickbacks from the notorious voting machine company.

The whistleblower claims these payoffs were made in exchange for handing Dominion lucrative contracts to supply machines for the 2026 midterms — machines that could be used to manipulate results and keep the deep state in power.

The same corrupt network is accused of working overtime to block President Trump’s landmark Save America Act, the one piece of legislation designed to finally secure American elections from fraud, foreign interference, and machine manipulation once and for all.

The explosive list reportedly names a rogues’ gallery of power-hungry operatives, including the only two Republicans on it — Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and John Thune — along with radical leftists Bernie Sanders, AOC, both California Senators, California Governor Gavin Newsom, Senator Elizabeth Warren, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker.

According to the insider, these politicians took the bribes to push Dominion’s machines into their states while simultaneously sabotaging the Save America Act and advancing a communist-style takeover of the electoral system. The whistleblower describes it as a coordinated coup inside our democracy, where elected officials sold out the American people to protect their own power and keep President Trump from restoring election integrity.

This is the smoking gun the deep state never wanted exposed.

While President Trump fights to pass the Save America Act and drain the swamp, these Dominion-funded politicians are working to steal the 2026 midterms and silence the voice of the people.

Retiring Congressman Jerry Nadler will return home to New York under indictment for insurance fraud.

Nadler, who gained sympathy from his constituents when his Long Island home burned down on Christmas Eve in 2017, now stands accused of defrauding Allstate for more than $2 million.

"Congressman Nadler filed claims for several works of art, watches, and other high-value items that he still possesses," said Long Island District Attorney Malcom Reynolds. "Being a retired congressman doesn't make him above the law.

Reynolds says the grand jury is convening next week and should return several felony indictments by late December.

"His homecoming won't exactly be welcoming."

EXPOSED: The biggest welfare fraud in American history just blew wide open — and Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar were all in on it.

Aimee Bock, the ringleader of the $9 BILLION Minnesota Somali Feeding Our Future scam, just confirmed from jail that Walz and Ellison KNEW. They kept signing off on the money even after the fraud flags were flying.

Omar wasn’t just nearby. She helped engineer the loopholes. Her MEALS Act in 2020 gutted the rules. Her name shows up in the court emails and texts at least six times. Bock says the “Squad” office was helping them get the waivers.

One white woman. 80–90 others who spoke the language. Billions in taxpayer cash looted while Democrat politicians looked the other way — or worse.

70 hours of raw audio the Bidens and Democrats spent a fortune trying to keep locked away.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz Says Over 60 Lebanon Villages Have Been Destroyed

DM boasts that 200,000 permanently displaced using ‘Gaza model’

Last week, the New York Times released the results of its investigation into the ongoing Israeli invasion and occupation of southern Lebanon and found that some 48 towns and villages had been destroyed by IDF forces. Defense Minister Israel Katz, in a weekend appearance on Israel’s Channel 14, bragged that the number is even higher.

Katz boasted in the appearance that more than 60 villages were actually destroyed outright. “Every single village, we’re talking about 23,000 homes, is in ruins,” Katz declared before a cheering studio audience, before adding “there are no residents left, 200,000 people have been displaced.”

The comments appear to leave little doubt that Katz is presenting the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure as a primary goal of the ongoing war in Lebanon, and with elections approaching, one that Katz seems to be seeking to emphasize. “This is the Gaza model. That’s what we’ve been implementing,” Katz declared at the end of laying out those details.

The “Gaza model” has been presented time and again by the Israeli right as something to adopt in their various other offensive wars. Since it amounts to a level of wholesale destruction that is already bringing Israel charges of genocide for what happened in Gaza, the attempt to expand the policy abroad seems like it would be controversial, though the Israeli right seems to be campaigning almost exclusively on escalating and expanding the range of such attacks.

While Israeli officials have tried to frame Katz as less extreme than some other members of the cabinet, the defense minister has repeatedly pushed narratives toward further aggression. Indeed, just a few days ago he issued a statement threatening to expand the permanent occupation deeper into Lebanon and to totally annihilate Lebanon’s Shi’ite community.

This puts the destruction in Lebanon in a position somewhat district from the indiscriminate violence in Gaza. While Israel is eagerly destroying much of the infrastructure in Lebanon as well, Katz has repeatedly made clear that Israel is deliberately targeting Shi’ites within Lebanon, destroying Shi’ite majority villages, and expelling Shi’ite civilians from their homes.

Israel invaded Lebanon in early March, and has expanded the offensive north of the Litani River. Though there are notionally some diplomatic deals in place with Lebanon at this point, none of them require Israel to stop attacking or occupying, and attacks on Lebanese towns continue daily.

The next round of the US-brokered talks is to take place in Tampa, Florida, and the focus is on getting Lebanon to lift its extent Israeli boycott laws, with Israeli officials continuing to insist that any requirements to stop attacking would be a “red line” for them.

Lebanese PM Nawaf Salam is seeking international support for convincing Israel to withdraw from southern Lebanon, and international help to reconstruct what has been destroyed. Since Katz has repeatedly presented southern Lebanon as a “permanent” buffer zone Israel intends to control, that’s an uphill battle on both accounts.

Israel-Backed Palestinian Militias Terrorize Displaced Families in Gaza

Over the past year, attacks by Israel-backed Palestinian militias have become increasingly frequent in Gaza, particularly targeting Palestinians living close to the ever expanding “yellow line.”

JABALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip—Youssef Al-Sheikh was asleep with his wife and eight young children in a room on the ground floor of a badly damaged building in the wasteland of northern Gaza’s Jabaliya refugee camp when the group of masked, heavily armed members of an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia broke down the door and stormed inside. It was around 2 a.m. on the night of September 24. Decked out in tactical gear and with their assault rifles pointing menacingly down at his family, they began shouting at Al-Sheikh to get up. The light from their military headlamps pierced the darkness, blinding Al-Sheikh.

“They came inside, and as soon as they entered, one of them raised his Kalashnikov and aimed it at me while I was here,” Al-Sheikh told Drop Site News, pointing to the only bed in the room, made up of thin mattress laid on a thin piece of wood propped up on concrete blocks.

“About seven people came in. They all had flashlights on them—bright white lights, extremely powerful flashlights,” he said. “With all the white light, I couldn’t see who wasin front of me.”

The lead gunman started yelling “Qassam,” Al-Sheikh said, a reference to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas. “He said, ‘Why are you staying here? Where are the explosive devices you have? Where are the weapons you have?’” Al-Sheikh recalled. “I told him, ‘I’m a peaceful citizen. I don’t have anything.’” When Al-Sheikh asked if could put some clothes on, the militiamen grabbed him and began savagely beating him in front of his wife and children.

“I couldn’t process what was happening and didn’t know what to do,” Al-Sheikh said. “Three of them came at me, punching and slapping me and beating me. They beat me in the most brutal ways.” Angry red bruises were still visible on his neck and back two days later.

They bound Al-Sheikh’s hands behind his back and left him on the ground. Amid the commotion, one of Al-Sheikh’s brothers-in-law entered from the room next door, pleading with the men to have mercy. “They grabbed him by his hair. Three of them attacked him, threw him to the ground, and beat him with their Kalashnikovs,” Al-Sheikh said. When a second brother-in-law arrived, they also grabbed him and beat him with their rifle butts.

The militiamen took the three men into an adjacent room and made them kneel on the floor. What appeared to be the lead gunman pulled up a chair and sat in front of them. One of Al-Sheikh’s brothers-in-law, Muatasim Al-Aja, had his hands bound and his mouth gagged. The other, Hossam Tafesh, also had his hands bound. The militiamen pulled out a black T-shirt from Tafesh’s belongings and accused him of being a part of the resistance. When Tafesh said he had nothing to do with the resistance, they began beating him again and wrapped the T-shirt tightly around his face until he began to suffocate.

The other militiamen ransacked the rest of the house, going through and overturning the family’s scant belongings and confiscating all the phones they could find. “One of my children was inside the room while this was happening and he started slapping himself. He’s a little boy, a very young child,” Al-Sheikh said. “He kept slapping himself across the face, crying, ‘Dad, Dad, Dad! Where’s my dad?’ The officer told my wife, ‘Either you shut the children up—all of you be quiet—or I’ll shoot them all and kill them.’”

Al-Sheikh said he later learned from eyewitnesses that an even larger militia force of close to 30 heavily armed men was surrounding the house outside. “It was as if an entire battalion had come to fight us,” he said.

Eventually, the lead militiaman made Al-Sheikh and both of his brothers-in-law look into his phone camera and photographed their faces. “He photographed us and sent the pictures over WhatsApp,” Al-Sheikh said. Several minutes later, the gunman received a call and announced they could be released.
