Despite Losing 1000 Men a Day, Russia Threatens to Encircle 20,000 Ukrainian Troops in Avdiivka [21:35] By Richard Abelson
Oct. 29, 2023 11:00 am – As the world is focused on eliminating Hamas in Gaza, Russia is launching its “counter-counteroffensive” (WaPo) in Ukraine and threatens to make significant advances against largely exhausted Ukrainian forces. Russia’s Ministry of Defence claims Ukraine has lost 13,000 tanks since the Russian invasion.
“With the world focused on the war between Israel and Hamas, Russia has launched ferocious attacks in eastern Ukraine, simultaneously ramping up its efforts to encircle the city of Avdiivka in the Donetsk region and pummeling the area around the formerly occupied cities of Kupyansk and Lyman”, the Washington Post reports.
“Moscow’s reinforced positions and renewed attacks at these strategic points on the eastern front are forcing Ukraine to defend swaths of territory that were occupied for months after Russia’s invasion in February 2022 and then liberated roughly a year ago”, the WaPo writes. “Some of the most intense fighting is taking place near Kupyansk, a city on the Oskil River, just 25 miles from the border with Russia. Ukrainian commanders and officials stationed along the eastern front said in interviews that Russia had noticeably bolstered its forces in recent weeks by creating new, fresh brigades — including elite forces and “Storm Z” units of prisoner battalions.”
“The commander of Ukraine’s ground forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky, said the situation had “worsened significantly” and that Russia was aiming to encircle Kupyansk and to reach the river, which cuts through the city”, the Washington Post said.

The Russian Ministry of Defense claims its armed forces have destroyed more than 13,000 Ukrainian tanks and other armored combat vehicles since the beginning of the invasion, TASS reported.
“A total of 517 aircraft, 253 helicopters, 8,392 unmanned aerial vehicles, 441 anti-aircraft missile systems, 13,006 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 1,170 multiple rocket launchers, 6,902 field artillery and mortar guns, as well as 14,760 units of special military vehicles have been destroyed since the beginning of the special military operation,” the Russian Ministry of Defense said.
Ukraine has lost over 2,055 soldiers on the Donetsk front in the past week, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed on Friday. “In the Donetsk direction, Russian… troops repelled nine enemy attacks over the past week… in the areas of the settlements of Maryinka, Kurdyumovka, Bogdanovka and Kleshcheyevka of the Donetsk People’s Republic. As a result of the fighting, the total losses of the Ukrainian armed forces in this direction amounted to more than 2,055 soldiers, three tanks, 17 armored combat vehicles, 22 vehicles, as well as 16 field artillery guns,” the ministry said
“Civil Order Starting to Break Down” (VIDEO) By Jim Hᴏft
Oct. 29, 2023 2:20 pm – Thousands of people have looted United Nations aid warehouses to seize supplies, an act that the UN alarmingly describes as a sign of civil order starting to erupt.
“This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down after three weeks of war and a tight siege,” Thomas White, director of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in Gaza.
With Israel intensifying its military operations against Hamas, over half of Gaza’s 2.4 million inhabitants have been displaced. Even the UN World Food Programme’s senior spokeswoman Abeer Etefa admitted that people in Gaza are “desperate” and “hungry,” which is what made the looting of UN warehouses expected.
The looting incidents occurred primarily at UNRWA’s second-largest depot in Deir al-Balah, situated in the central Gaza Strip. The depots contained basic supplies like flour, soap, and hygiene kits. Individuals who participated in the looting defended their actions by explaining their lack of essential supplies.
“Our houses were destroyed. No one cares about us. We appeal to the people of the world. All international powers are against us. We needed aid, and we wouldn’t have done this if we weren’t in need,” said Gaza resident Abdulrahman al-Kilani, according to BBC.
This sentiment has been reiterated by Abeer Etefa, a senior spokeswoman for the UN World Food Programme (WFP), who stated that these incidents were “expected” given the “difficult conditions facing people.”

Anti-Israel Ivy League Students Get Brutal News from University’s Jewish Billionaire Donor By Jack Davis
Oct. 29, 2023 3:40 pm – Billionaire Leon Cooperman, who wears his Polish-Jewish heritage as a badge of pride and has made giving away his billions to make the world a better place a major part of his life, is angry.
The 80-year-old estimates that he has given $50 million over the years to New York City’s Columbia University, where he earned a master’s degree in business administration in 1967. But he will give no more to the school due to the way some students and faculty celebrated the slaughter of Israeli civilians in the massacre of Oct. 7 that claimed more than 1,400 lives.
“These kids at the colleges have sh– for brains,” Cooperman told Fox Business host Claman last week.
We have one reliable ally in the Middle East. That’s Israel,” Cooperman said. “We only have one democracy in the Middle East. That’s Israel. And we have one economy tolerant of different people, gays, lesbians, etc. That’s Israel. So they have no idea what these young kids are doing.
“Now, the real shame is, I’ve given to Columbia probably about $50 million over many years. And I’m going to suspend my giving. I’ll give my giving to other organizations,” he said.

Report: Jewish Students at Cornell in Hiding After Vile Anti-Semitic Death Threats Posted on Student Message Board; Kosher Dining Hall on Lockdown By Kristinn Taylor
Oct. 29, 2023 8:00 pm – Jewish students at Cornell University in upstate New York are reportedly hiding in their rooms after vile, anti-Semitic death threats were posted on a student message board. The campus kosher dining hall was singled out with a threat of a massacre. Police are reportedly on scene and the Cornell administration has issued a statement expressing concern.
The threats come two weeks after a Cornell professor was filmed praising the October 7 slaughter of Jews in Israel by Hamas:

That was followed by pro-Palestinian graffiti on campus:
Amid increasing Jew-hatred and several pro-Hamas rallies on campus, including one at which a professor called Hamas’s massacre “exhilarating,” students at @Cornell were greeted by this egregious, hateful display this morning.

Some of the messages, posted Saturday and Sunday on Greekrank were screen-capped and reported Sunday evening by Cornell ’22 grad Annie Vail, “Currently on a @Cornell discussion forum, the kosher dining hall (104 west) is now on lockdown and Jewish students are scared to leave their rooms…The Cornell Police, State Police and the FBI have all been alerted and there are currently police stationed at 104 West. We are expecting a response from the administration soon
99-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor Receives 1,000 Anti-Semitic Messages On Daily Basis Since Hamas Attack By David Greyson
Oct. 29, 2023 3:20 pm – Anti-Semitic attacks have exploded since Hamas ambushed Israel earlier this month. It has taken form in many ways including tearing down posters of missing children to making threats to people simply because they are Jewish.
This has taken an extreme form in online messages. Lily Ebert, who is a 99-year-old Holocaust survivor has been receiving about 1,000 hate messages on a daily basis since the October 7th attack. She lives in London and runs a TikTok account with her great-grandson. Their main aim is to educate people about the Holocaust and have a substantial following of over 2 million people.
The messages they received are very aggressive and cruel including references to Hitler and emojis that show the devil and the middle finger. Her great-grandson Dov Forman disabled the comments on their account because it became unbearable for her.

A Texan in Donetsk: Russell Bentley Explains the Huge Relevance of the Russian Siege of Avdiivka – ‘Once It Falls the Donbas Front Will Shatter Like Glass’ By Paul Serran
Oct. 29, 2023 4:20 pm – When Russell ‘Texas’ Bentley talks about the war in the Donbas, and the struggle against Nazis in Ukraine, it’s not hearsay. He has been there from the start, and served in Vostok Battalion and XAH Spetsnaz Battalion in 2014, 2015 and 2017, fighting on the side of the Donetsk People’s Republic – now a region of Russia. He was also baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church.
This last week Bentley shared a new update from downtown Donetsk with some really big news.
Sputnik reported:
“The biggest thing that everybody’s talking about recently is the advances of our guys in the Avdiivka front. They’ve taken the Terrikon (slag heap) which is a literally strategic position from there. They can observe for miles around.”

Biden is Sanctioning Hamas While Funding Hamas BY DANIEL GREENFIELD
OCT 28, 2023 5:00 PM – The Biden administration has rolled out some new sanctions on Hamas and other terrorist groups.
“Today’s action underscores the United States’ commitment to dismantling Hamas’s funding networks by deploying our counterterrorism sanctions authorities and working with our global partners to deny Hamas the ability to exploit the international financial system,” Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo said in a statement.
“We will not hesitate to take action to further degrade Hamas’s ability to commit horrific terrorist attacks by relentlessly targeting its financial activities and streams of funding,” he added.
Among the individuals targeted includes Khaled Qaddoumi, described as Hamas’s liaison to the Iranian government, as well as a number of Iranian military members who trained Hamas militants.
Also sanctioned was the Al-Ansar Charity Association, which the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control said funds the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a Hamas-affiliated militant group.
The Biden administration and Democrats have been reluctant to sanction the IRGC, these sanctions target some IRGC figures. And while this is good, Biden announced $100 million in aid to Gaza going through USAID. which, according to a statement by Samantha Power, will work with “our trusted UN, International Committee of the Red Cross, and Red Crescent partners are ready to distribute to those in need.”
The Red Crescent locally has a history of terror ties. There’s nothing trusted about it. Or the UN.

Europe Facing Civil War? by Drieu Godefridi
SATURDAY, OCT 28, 2023 – 07:00 AM – In Vienna, London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels and dozens of other European cities, demonstrations “in support of Palestine” were organised even before the Israelis responded the jihadist pogrom perpetrated by Iran-backed Hamas on October 7, while the corpses of more than 1,400 Israeli victims — tortured, raped, murdered and mutilated, babies decapitated or burned alive — were still warm. According to a JNS report:
“[T]he IDF on Monday [Oct 23] published two segments from the interrogation of Hamas terrorists who participated in the massacre..
“‘The purpose of entering Israeli territory… was to kidnap civilians; they want as many hostages as possible,’ one of the terrorists revealed. He added, ‘They [Hamas] promised us that whoever brings a kidnapped person will receive an apartment and $10,000.'”
All the same, each and every one of these demonstrations in Europe was the scene of hate-filled slogans against Israel and Jews.
In Brussels, those slogans were shouted, and the atmosphere of violence and blood-lust was everywhere. Around me, surrounded by about 2,000 hate-filled demonstrators, a group of a dozen young Arabs were shouting “Death to the Jews” and “Death to Israel”, all the while exchanging knowing smiles and a few jokes. One of them ordered me to stop filming. I did.
Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger explained in an interview recently that Europe had made a serious mistake by creating within itself, through mass immigration, populations that reject all its norms, values and a “constitutional basis”. He deplored the fact that in 2023 in Berlin, almost 80 years after the Holocaust, people, with complete impunity, are shouting “Death to the Jews” in the streets.
In the hours following the revelation of the butchery committed by Hamas, a wave of racist violence and attacks began in Europe, especially in France. Against Arabs or Muslims? Not at all. Against Jews, of course. In Europe, Jews are still the victims of hatred and violence. Apparently it is a way for our local pro-Hamas Europeans to celebrate the jihad pogrom of October 7.
Even though the media have been warning us for 30 years about the risk of violence against Muslims, in deeds and figures, our Jewish fellow citizens are infinitely more victims of violence and abuse than are Muslims living in Europe. Already in 2015, Jeffrey Goldberg warned in The Atlantic: “In 2014, Jews in Europe were murdered, raped, beaten, stalked, chased harassed, spat on and chased for being Jewish.”
I feel a certain fatigue towards those who hold Israelis and Arabs equally responsible. Not just the European Left, which often no longer takes the trouble to hide its anti-Semitism. No, also those on the right who, out of cowardice or ignorance, tell us that Israel had it coming.
Sam Bankman-Fried Finally Deposes in His Defense, Gets Scolded by the Judge – Will Face Brutal Cross-Examination and Mysterious Rebuttal Witness By Paul Serran
Oct. 28, 2023 8:20 pm – Disgraced former billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried finally had his say in his high profile trial, considered to be ‘one of the biggest fraud prosecutions in history’.
But, according to all reports, he failed to score any significant wins, and now will have to face on Monday a brutal cross-examination by Manhattan federal prosecutors, and also a mysterious “rebuttal” witness to contradict his claims.
The crypto bro showed no emotions as he tried to evade of for his alleged $10 billion fraud, claiming it went under because of ‘mistakes’, not crimes.
The New York Post reported:
“’We are expecting a brief rebuttal case’, a member of the federal prosecution team told Judge Lewis Kaplan after jurors were sent home for the day. The feds did not identify the witness or explain how they would ‘rebut’ aspects of the accused crypto crook’s account.
The accused crypto thief — who is charged with splurging with FTX user funds on such luxurious goodies as millions of dollars in Bahamas real estate — testified Friday, ‘We thought we could build the best product on the market’, when asked by his lawyer why he founded his company. The lawyer, Mark Cohen, replied, ‘Did it work out that way?’ Bankman-Fried […] responded a flat, nasally monotone, ‘No, it turned out basically the opposite of that. A lot of people got hurt’.”
SBF displayed little to no remorse in his testimony, as he claimed that FTX had ‘significant oversights’ in its ‘risk management’.
“He also accused his ex-girlfriend Caroline Ellison, who served as CEO of his hedge fund Alameda Research, of not ‘hedging’ the company’s bets months before the feds say Bankman-Fried stole FTX funds to pay off Alameda’s multibillion-dollar debt.”
Bankman-Fried said he made ‘a number of small mistakes and a number of large mistakes’ while running FTX, but he denied ‘taking’ customer funds.
“’Did you defraud anyone?’ Bankman-Fried’s lawyer asked him shortly after he took the stand just before 10 a.m. ‘No, I did not’, the defendant replied.”
He also tried to distance himself from computer code that allowed Alameda to ‘borrow’ FTX users’ funds.
Mostly he tried to sell the image of a young entrepreneur who did the best he could.
Border Patrol Apprehended 3.2 Million Illegals In Fiscal Year 2023 – 10 Million Illegal Border Crossers Since Biden Installed By David Greyson
Oct. 28, 2023 1:40 pm – US Border Patrol apprehended 3.2 million illegal aliens in fiscal year 2023 (Oct 1-Sept 30). Since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021, the number is estimated at 10 million illegal border crossers. That number equals about the population of 41 individual states. Let that one sink in.
The Highland County Press reported (emphasis ours):
More than 10 million people have been reported illegally entering the United States since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the greatest number in history and of any administration.
They total more than the individual populations of 41 states.
The number of people illegally entering the country surged after Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas halted many preexisting border security policies, advanced sweeping parole and other policies to release the greatest number of illegal foreign nationals into the country, encouraged people from all over the world to use a phone app to enter the U.S., and facilitated U.S. entry application processes in foreign countries, among others.
Official U.S. Customs and Border Protection data includes 3,201,144 apprehensions in fiscal 2023; 2,766,582 in fiscal 2022; 1,956,519 in fiscal 2021; and 471,954 in the nine months Biden was in office in fiscal 2020.
CBP’s fiscal year is from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
Combined, official apprehensions total 8,396,199.
Just reading these statistics is overwhelming enough. This is the reality that we as Americans are living in. The U.S. is under invasion on a daily basis while the mainstream media just ignores it.
Groups Advocating Anti-Israel Protests and Supporting Hamas Attacks Receive Over $15 Million from George Soros By Jim Hᴏft
Oct. 28, 2023 3:00 pm – Left-wing billionaire George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to organizations that have been involved in pro-Palestine protests, some of which have openly supported Hamas, a group designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union, and other entities, according to a recent report by New York Post.
The New York Post’s examination of Open Society Foundations records revealed that Soros’ grant-making network channeled $13.7 million of the funding through the Tides Center.
This organization is a lefty advocacy group that sponsors several lefty nonprofits, some of which have justified Hamas’ attacks on Israel while portraying Palestinians as the real victims. Among the beneficiaries of Tides’ funding is the Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which posted a photo on Instagram of a bulldozer tearing down part of Israel’s border fence, captioning it as an “open-air prison.”
“A reminder that the Israeli regime has waged 70+ years of war on Palestinians and has entrapped Palestinians in Gaza with a suffocating siege for 17 years. The natural reaction to colonization and oppression is resistance,” Adalah Justice Project wrote.

“If You Hate America, If You Sympathize with Jihadists Then We Don’t Want You in Our Country”- MUST SEE: President Trump Draws a Line in the Sand (VIDEO) By Jim Hoft
Oct. 28, 2023 3:40 pm – President Trump spoke today at the Republican Jewish Coalition Leadership Summit.
During his speech President Trump drew a clear line between his policies and those of the open border Democrats. The liberal party in America is clearly the party of the radical Jew-haters. They even have ten House Democrats who voted against a statement condemning the Hamas raid on Israel.
Trump drew a clear line – No more jihadists in the country!
President Donald Trump: The State Department, which is admitting colossal amounts of jihadists into our communities and campuses and in our refugee programs. That’s why you see all of these big demonstrations in New York and Chicago. Nobody can believe what’s taking place. They’re letting them in at levels that nobody’s ever seen before. We cannot allow that to happen.

And we don’t want to be like Europe with jihadists on every corner. That’s what happens. I mean, we’re going to be like Europe. You take a look at London, you take a look at Paris, you take a look at what’s going on over there. We want to be the United States of America, and we want to make our country great again.

Judicial Watch Sues for Audio/Visual Recordings Related to Obama Chef’s Death Tom Fitton | Judicial Watch Weekly Update
October 28, 2023 – We’re still not being provided complete information about the death of the Obamas’ personal chef Tafari Campbell in July 2023 in the Edgartown Great Pond next to Obama’s sea-side estate.
We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA suit) against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for video recordings relating to the death (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:23-cv-03194)). We recently uncovered the existence of a Secret Service video tied to the incident in response to a separate public records request.
On August 9, 2023, we submitted a FOIA request to the Secret Service, a component of DHS, seeking copies of:
All audio/visual recordings (including dispatch calls, fixed camera footage, internal USSS communications, and communications with other law enforcement and EMS personnel), USSS emails, incident reports, witness statements, investigative reports, and all other records related to the death of Tafari Campbell on July 23-24, 2023, in the Edgartown Great Pond.
Earlier this month, we received 40 pages of records from the Massachusetts State Police that include a July 24, 2023, homicide/death report written by Mass. State Trooper Dustin Shaw, listing the details of the investigation into Campbell’s death. In the narrative portion Shaw writes:
