The Image That Killed The Democrats In 2026 And Beyond

The Image That Killed The Democrats In 2026 And Beyond

Authored by Athena Thorne via PJMedia.com,

And just like that, it’s over for the Dems in the 2026 midterms. Maybe even the 2028 general election. Maybe this is even the final nail in their creaky, splintering, mentally ill, Marxist coffin.

Right now, they’re trying to ignore it, the way they tried to pretend Hunter Biden’s laptop didn’t exist back in 2020. They were successful enough that time to push their vote machine over the finish line in Biden/Harris’s favor, but that won’t happen this time. This story, this image, is already out there.

Still, they’re trying to ignore it, hoping it goes away:

The only explanation I’ve seen anywhere is, “Oh, it was never covered nationally because it was only a local story.” Sure. Like George Floyd’s overdose in police custody was only a local story. Good luck with that dodge, lefties.

In all fairness to Democrats, their policies have made this situation so common that it may well have disappeared into the din. A violent lunatic with fourteen previous arrests under his belt but who still freely roamed the streets randomly and viciously stabbed a young woman on the train, killing her. The murder occurred over two weeks ago, and they had every reason to believe the “local crime story” was as dead as the beautiful young victim. 

But then, the video emerged. It’s chilling and terrifying, the horror that every urban female (and plenty of males) fears. The still image of the moment the madman’s knife begins its descent is the most damning optic I’ve seen in years, and it will now become the face of the modern Democrat party.

It gets worse for Democrats: The victim was not only young, female, and stunning, but she was a refugee from Ukraine — one of their fetish victims. 

The New York Post is one outlet that covered the story:

Haunting new video revealed the terrifying moment a homeless ex-con allegedly fatally stabbed a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee in what police said was a random attack on a Charlotte light rail train.

Iryna Zarutska, who fled war-torn Ukraine for a safer life in America, was on the Lynx Blue Line just before 10 p.m. Aug. 22 when she was ambushed, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

The surveillance footage, released Friday by the Charlotte Area Transit System or CATS, shows Zarutska boarding the train in her pizzeria uniform at 9:46 p.m. and sitting, looking at her phone, unaware of the danger behind her.

Just four minutes later, 34-year-old Decarlos Brown Jr. allegedly whips out a folding knife and lunges forward, stabbing her three times, at least once in the neck, police said.

Those eyes, that brave smile, her courageous backstory — fleeing war-torn Ukraine for a chance at safety and freedom in America, taking a humble job as a pizza clerk in Charlotte, N.C.

Laken Riley, the young nursing student murdered by one of then-President Joe Biden’s illegal aliens, became a poster child for stopping the invasion. The description of her murder was shocking to the public consciousness, but still, it was only words. 

Robin Westman’s murder and maiming of young Catholic school kids at prayer was a shocking and tragic story. It was powerful enough to finally spark the public debate about what kind of medications are given to youth with gender dysphoria and whether they are sane enough to own guns. But still, that story was also only told in words.

Here, we have the video of the savage act committed by another Democrat sacred cow, a black, homeless man — you know, the kind of sweet, innocent victim those awful racist cops are always trying to murder.

Even as Democrats surge in the streets of Washington, D.C., protesting the president’s crackdown on crime, this chilling video and this electrifying still image have hit the internet. The left could not be caught further out on the wrong side of the issue. They are exposed as the heinous morons they are.

A confession: I do occasionally worry about Trump’s over-the-top rhetoric and willingness to push the bounds of executive power even further than former President Barack Obama did. I know he’s doing the right things, but every time he calls out the guard or sics the FBI on someone or blows up a boat of our enemies, I can all too easily picture the next rabid Democrat president goring my ox in the same way. 

But then I see something like this, and I thank God for the man in the White House who has climbed athwart history, yelling, “Stop!” (With apologies to the Buckleys.)

Because in the end, Democrats champion mental illness, crime, and the breakdown of civil order; they champion evil. Republicans fight it. Period.

It’s over, Democrats. Begone with you.

Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba Resigns, Most Likely To Be Replaced With Hard-Line Conservative

Japan’s Prime Minister Ishiba Resigns, Most Likely To Be Replaced With Hard-Line Conservative

For much of the past two months, ever since the historic loss of Japan’s LDP in July’s parliamentary elections, we have mocked the highly unpopular Japanese PM Shigeru Ishiba, who was clinging to the post despite record disapproval and a clear shift in popular sentiment that had clearly stripped him of mandate to be Japan’s leader. 

A few hours ago, Ishiba finally decided to prove us wrong and announced he will step down – following weeks of calls for his departure – a decision that will set in motion a leadership race that may generate concerns for investors. 

“While I feel there are still things I wish to do as premier, I have made the difficult decision to step down,” Ishiba said at a press conference in Tokyo on Sunday. “Having seen the US trade negotiations through, I felt that now is the right time to stand down and give way to my successor.”

“I felt that if I continued amid a vote on an early leadership race, it could have created an irreversible division within the party, which is certainly not my intention.” He will stay on as prime minister until his successor takes over.

Ishiba’s resignation brings to an end a tenure marked by humiliating election results that stripped the Liberal Democratic Party’s ruling coalition of its majorities in both chambers of parliament and left market participants unsure of Japan’s fiscal plans. His departure is likely to fuel uncertainty among investors over the coming weeks until a new leader is chosen. It will also likely spark debate among market participants whether his replacement will follow through with the trade deal that Japan reach with Trump.

As Bloomberg warns, the risk of further instability could weigh on the yen and longer-term bonds when trading opens Monday in Asia. Japan’s currency was one of the weakest performers among its Group of 10 peers last week, while yields on longer-term Japanese government debt reached fresh multi-decade highs.

“Prime Minister Ishiba was known for his strict stance on fiscal discipline,” said Katsutoshi Inadome, senior strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Asset Management, flagging the likelihood of upward pressure on super-long yields. “While it remains unclear who will become the next prime minister, it’s difficult to envision anyone with a fiscal discipline stance better than or even equivalent to his.”

Which, in a country best known for the short tenure of its prime minister, more easing to placate the masses is on deck, even if it means another surge in inflation, and even higher prices in gold and crypto as the local population protects what little is left of its purchasing power.

The LDP was set to hold a vote Monday if it should bring forward a leadership election by two years, but that had looked increasingly likely to turn into a vote of no confidence in the premier. That vote will now be canceled, and instead the LDP will hold a leadership race, Ishiba said.

Lawmakers jockeying to position themselves as the next premier will need at least 20 other members of parliament to support their candidacy in order to enter the race. Whoever emerges top in the party contest will then have to win a vote in parliament to become prime minister in a fractured Diet.

Potential candidates within the ruling party include Sanae Takaichi, 64, a former internal affairs minister who finished second to Ishiba in an LDP leadership race last year. If chosen, Takaichi would be Japan’s first female prime minister.

A party veteran who has held a variety of roles, including economic security and internal affairs minister, she is known for conservative positions such as revising the pacifist postwar constitution; Takaichi is a regular visitor to the Yasukuni shrine to honor Japan’s war dead, viewed by some Asian neighbors as a symbol of past militarism.

She is a fan of Abenomics economic policies and favors stimulus measures which means any hope for a rate hike by the “independent” Bank of Japan would be quietly put to pasture under her leadership (we leave the discussion of BOJ “independence” to an other time). 

A member of Japan’s largest nationalist organisation Nippon Kaigi and known as a hard-line conservative, Takaichi opposes same-sex marriage and supports a requirement for couples to share a surname after marriage. She has also stated that a government gender equality plan could “destroy the social structure based on family units” has voiced opposition to proposals to change the law so that a woman could become the Emperor of Japan.

Takaichi supports imprisoning those who damage Japan’s national flag, and is considered a China-hawk when it comes to foreign policy and supports revising article 9 of the Japanese constitution which prohibits Japan from entering armed conflict.  She’s also a vocal critic of Chinese economic practices such as intellectual property theft and calls on Japan to lessen its economic dependence on China.

Most notably, she believes that immigration to Japan risks destabilizing Japanese society and argues that Japanese heritage must be protected. As such, should she replace Ishiba, she would become the latest hard-line conservative to take charge in blowback to the catastrophic policies unleashed by the liberal left in recent years.

Among other possible candidates, Takayuki Kobayashi, a former economic security minister, is on the right-wing of the party and would be a possible rival to Takaichi in garnering support from that section of lawmakers. Yoshimasa Hayashi, the current chief cabinet secretary, as well as Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato, might also show interest in succeeding Ishiba. 

“If Ms. Takaichi is appointed, bond selling could intensify due to the risk of a credit rating downgrade,” Sumitomo Mitsui Trust’s Inadome said. In that scenario, “we could see a triple dip: falling bond prices, a weaker yen, and declining stock prices.” 

A Koizumi or Hayashi win is more likely to return the yield curve to its previous shape, he added.

Traditionally, the LDP’s dominance in parliament all but assures that its leader will become prime minister. With no majority in either house, there’s only a slim chance the leader of the LDP could fail to clinch the premiership, though that decision is still some weeks away.

The next premier will have to navigate challenges ranging from global trade headwinds to simmering resentment at home over soaring costs of living. Ishiba had called for fresh cash handouts to support consumers, while opposition parties sought tax cuts or higher spending, proposals that have given investors cause for concern.

In the press conference held Sunday, Ishiba said that consumers and businesses will need more support and pressed the need to maintain momentum for wage hikes. He indicated that he essentially decided to step down following the July election setback, but saw a need to make more progress on the trade deal with the US first.

US President Donald Trump signed his trade agreement with Japan and put it into effect with an executive order on Thursday. Although current tariff rates will be lowered with the new order, Japan will still have to pay a maximum 15% tariff on its products, including exports of cars and auto parts.

Still, the signing of the deal leaves Ishiba with some kind of legacy to walk away with after a troubled year at the helm.

OPEC+ Accelerates Oil Production Hikes Despite ‘Glut’ Concerns

OPEC+ Accelerates Oil Production Hikes Despite ‘Glut’ Concerns

OPEC+ agreed to accelerate the return of another chunk of oil that it’s been withholding from the market, as the group sticks with a strategy of prioritizing market share over prices.

After an online meeting Sunday, eight OPEC+ members said they will boost production by 137,000 barrels a day in October, beginning to roll back some voluntary cuts they had previously put in place.

The alliance, which comprises OPEC and other top oil producers including Russia, had been expected to keep output steady until recent days. 

It’s the first sliver of a bigger 1.65 million barrels a day tranche of supply that was meant to be held back until the end of next year, suggesting cautious optimism about the market.

OPEC+ members said Sunday the barrels may be restored in part or in full “subject to evolving market conditions.”

While the production increases have prevented prices from rising sharply amid heightened geopolitical tensions, The Wall Street Journal reports they have sparked fears of an impending glut among investors. 

This has yet to show in inventory data, largely because of robust summer demand and only modest stock buildups in OECD countries, according to market watchers. 

Actual OPEC+ production also has fallen short of pledged volumes in recent months, as some members had to restrict output to compensate for earlier overproduction.

The decision is likely to put a renewed spotlight on the unused production levels available in different OPEC+ members, as countries that can’t pump more won’t fully benefit from the increased quotas, while they face the added pressure of lower prices. 

The group’s next meeting will be October 5.

South Korea Makes Deal With US To Release Detained Georgia Plant Workers

South Korea Makes Deal With US To Release Detained Georgia Plant Workers

Authored by Jacob Burg via The Epoch Times,

The South Korean government on Sept. 7 said that the more than 300 South Korean workers who were detained during a federal immigration operation at a Georgia Hyundai plant will be released and sent home.

The South Korea and U.S. governments finalized negotiations on releasing the workers, said presidential chief of staff, Kang Hoon-sik. South Korea will send a charter plane to bring the workers back once the remaining administrative steps are concluded, he added.

On Friday, U.S. immigration authorities said they had arrested 475 people at the worksite, most of whom were South Korean nationals. Hundreds of federal agents had conducted an operation at the Korean automaker Hyundai’s large Georgia-based manufacturing plant, where it builds electric vehicles. More than 300 South Koreans were part of the group detained, said Cho Hyun, South Korea’s Foreign Minister.

In video footage released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Saturday, a caravan of vehicles can be seen approaching the site before federal agents direct workers to form a line outside. Agents told several detainees to put up their hands against a bus before frisking them. Some of the workers were shackled around their hands, ankles, and waists.

The plant, which is still under construction, is a partnership between Hyundai and LG Energy Solution to manufacture batteries for electric vehicles. The Hyundai campus is one of Georgia’s largest economic development projects.

The majority of the detainees were sent to an immigration detention center in Folkston, Georgia, near the Florida border. 

Steven Schrank, the lead Georgia agent of Homeland Security Investigations, said during a news conference on Sept. 5 that none of the arrested workers have been charged with crimes yet, as the investigation is still ongoing. The Sept. 4 operation was the largest federal immigration worksite operation in Homeland Security Investigations’s history, he said. 

The South Korean government, a key U.S. ally, said it felt “concern and regret” regarding the operation targeting its citizens and has sent diplomats to the plant. 

The effort continues the Trump administration’s focus on illegal immigration and deportations at businesses and workplaces that allegedly employ illegal immigrants.

Last week, ICE agents arrested dozens of illegal immigrants in the New York townships of Cato and Fulton.

The operation was carried out at a factory run by Nutrition Bar Confectioners, a local food processing company. Between 40 and 70 people were arrested.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul criticized the arrests.

“I am outraged by this morning’s ICE raids in Cato and Fulton, where more than 40 adults were seized—including parents of at least a dozen children at risk of returning from school to an empty house,” Hochul wrote in a statement.

“New York will work with the federal government to secure our borders and deport violent criminals, but we will never stand for masked ICE agents separating families and abandoning children.”

Putin Invited Zelensky To Moscow, Who Responds “I Can’t Go To The Capital Of This Terrorist”

Putin Invited Zelensky To Moscow, Who Responds “I Can’t Go To The Capital Of This Terrorist”

Russian state media sources have of late been alleging a secret Western plot to replace Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. These reports have continued through August and into September, but the scenario has obviously not come to fruition.

A prime candidate to replace him would be former chief of the armed forces, Gen. Valery Zaluzhny – who Zelensky fired last year and shipped off to London to be ambassador there. Since then, Ukraine’s military has been doing even worse on the battlefield, according to The Wall Street Journal and many other reports.

Russia’s TASS has claimed there’s a specific plot afoot, reporting a so-called “triumvirate” consisting of Andriy Yermak (head of the Ukrainian presidential office), Kyrylo Budanov (military intelligence chief), and Gen. Zaluzhny (former commander-in-chief and current ambassador to the UK), are actively working with the US and UK to replace President Zelensky with Zaluzhny.

Ukrainian media has also picked up on this, but has dismissed it as Russian wartime propaganda:

The SVR said the “conspiracy” was the underlying cause “…of the recent scandalous attempt by ‘Kyiv’s president’ to restrict the powers of the local anti-corruption mechanisms.” This was in reference to the proposed legal attempts to limit the independence of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office.

But Zelensky has, under pressure from Western partners, dutifully reversed his legal move against said anti-corruption bodies. 

Several reports by the end of July indicated he “backtracked” amid domestic and international criticism. Still, the Russian media reports claimed this revealed cracks in his support base, emboldening those plotting against him.

But given Zelensky’s recent appearance in Paris for a collective defense conference alongside President Macron, and given he’s readying a plan with NATO allies for ‘security guarantees’ – it doesn’t seem like he’s going anywhere soon.

President Putin has repeatedly called Zelensky out as ‘illegitimate’ – but still while in Beijing this past week indicated he’s open to inviting him to Moscow for talks.

Putin caveated that this would have to be premised on real progress at the negotiating table, however. He actually appeared to throw out an open invitation, at least according to US officials who informed Zelensky of the overture

Watch: Zelensky rejects the invite…

Zelensky countered by saying Putin should come to Kyiv, but practically speaking that’s not going to happen, given it would be a security nightmare for the Kremlin, and given it would be seen as bowing to Ukraine’s demands.

“He can come to Kyiv,” Zelensky said. “I can’t go to Moscow when my country’s under missiles, under attack, each day. I can’t go to the capital of this terrorist.”

The Bond Market Is Suddenly More Concerned About Jobs Than Inflation

The Bond Market Is Suddenly More Concerned About Jobs Than Inflation

Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk.com,

The long bond verdict is finally in. Jobs and growth outweigh inflation.

US Treasury Yield Notes

  • Between August 5 and August 21, bond yields for US treasuries of 2 year duration or longer all rose.

  • The period between August 21 and September 2 was very painful for 30-year long bond holders but favorable for the rest.

  • Starting September 2, there was a bond market rally across the board.

Treasury Yield Changes Since September 2

What Happened?

  • The ISM report on September 2 showed weak hiring.

  • The BLS JOLTS repot on September 3 revealed unemployment was above job openings for the first time since the pandemic.

  • The ADP report on September 4 was weak, especially small businesses.

  • The nonfarm payroll report on September 5 was a disaster.

The trend on the 10-year treasury note and the 30-year long bond are back in sync. Both are headed lower.

The discrepancy resolved to job weakness over inflation concerns, but Powell will be cautious unless there is a collapse.

CBS Changes Policy For ‘Face The Nation’ Interviews After “Shamefully” Editing Noem Interview

CBS Changes Policy For ‘Face The Nation’ Interviews After “Shamefully” Editing Noem Interview

CBS News has announced it will no longer edit guest interviews on its flagship Sunday program “Face the Nation,” moving to a live or live-to-tape format following days of criticism over its handling of a sit-down with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The change comes after Noem accused the network of “shamefully” cutting portions of her Aug. 31 interview in order to “whitewash the truth.”

As Tom Ozimek reports for The Epoch Times, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the broadcaster removed over 23 percent of her answers, “exposing the truth about criminal illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, President Donald Trump’s lawful actions to protect the American people, and Secretary Noem’s commitment to fight on behalf of the American people and their tax dollars.”

CBS initially defended its actions, saying that the unedited version was posted online, but the backlash continued to grow on social media and beyond.

Noem and others circulated clips of the missing passages online and accused the network of trying to manipulate public opinion by withholding harsh truths—like when Noem said that Abrego Garcia was a “known human smuggler, MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife beater.”

Then, on Sept. 5, CBS said that it will now only broadcast live or live-to-tape interviews, meaning guests’ answers will not be edited in any way—except in situations where legal or national security reasons require it. The broadcaster said it was changing its editorial policy “in response to audience feedback.”

“This extra measure means the television audience will see the full, unedited interview on CBS and we will continue our practice of posting full transcripts and the unedited video online,” a CBS spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

The Noem interview is the second time in less than a year that CBS has figured into disputes over alleged selective editing.

Last fall, then-presidential candidate Trump sued CBS, alleging that a “60 Minutes” interview with Democratic challenger and then-Vice President Kamala Harris had been manipulated to improve her image and boost her chances in the 2024 election.

CBS defended the editing of the Harris interview, saying that transcripts and videos of the full interview showed that the broadcast “was not doctored or deceitful.”

The uncut transcript showed that some of Harris’s answers were cut roughly in half while also clarifying her full response to a question about the Israel–Hamas war, which Trump’s campaign alleged was deceptively edited to make her look better to potential voters.

Later, Trump amended his complaint to include CBS parent company Paramount Global as a defendant, while doubling the amount of damages sought to $20 billion.

Paramount ultimately settled that case in July for $16 million, while denying any wrongdoing.

Released Comey Memos Reveal Obama Admin’s Endorsement Of Russian Hoax

Released Comey Memos Reveal Obama Admin’s Endorsement Of Russian Hoax

Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA,

Newly unclassified memos from disgraced former FBI Director James Comey confirmed that the Obama administration not only welcomed the Russia meddling hoax but also discussed potential post-election actions.

Journalist Catherine Herridge first shared the October 2016 memos on X on Friday after FBI Director Kash Patel approved their declassification.

In one memo, Comey asked, “What is the goal? Informing US people? Disrupting Russians.”

Elsewhere, he contemplated potential steps after President Donald Trump’s election in 2016.

“What are the circumstances in which we can imagine taking any action after the election,” Comey wrote.

“I can’t picture it so why threaten any.”

One note, titled “My Thoughts,” referenced the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein and former Rep. (now Sen.) Adam Schiff, both California Democrats, as putting the FBI “in odd spot.”

The context behind this last note is unclear.

On another page, Comey used the acronym “COS,” likely referring to a chief of staff.

He also entertained the Russia meddling theory.

“Russians have a view on who should win,” he wrote, adding:

“SR (Susan Rice/National Security Adviser) •Need IC (intelligence Community) to do their best lay down of what we could say publicly.”

The memos suggest the outgoing Obama administration embraced the idea that Russia wanted Trump to win the election—a theory that later evolved into claims that Trump colluded with Russia.

No evidence has ever been produced to substantiate this claim.

Cost Of Living Is The Biggest Challenge Americans Face

Cost Of Living Is The Biggest Challenge Americans Face

While inflation has long come down from its 2021/2022 highs, when it peaked at 9 percent, it is still slightly elevated at 2.7 percent.

More importantly though, people are still struggling to cope with the lasting effects of the inflation crisis.

As Statista’s Felix Richter shows in the following chart, according to a new Consumer Insights survey conducted in June and July 2025, 49 percent of U.S. adults said that the high cost of living was one of the biggest challenges they currently face – making it by far the most common answer.

It is a common misconception that prices come down when inflation cools, when in reality a period of high inflation leaves a legacy of high prices.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. consumer prices have increased 22.7 percent since January 2021, with some categories seeing even steeper price increases than that.

Food prices have are up 25 percent, rents have increased almost 27 percent and transportation prices are up 28 percent.

And yet, nominal wages have only grown 21.8 percent since January 2021, leaving many people worse off than they were almost five years ago.

WW3? French Hospitals Told To Prepare For A “Major Military Engagement” Within Six Months

WW3? French Hospitals Told To Prepare For A “Major Military Engagement” Within Six Months

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

French hospitals have been advised to prepare for a large scale war by next year, in a government letter that was leaked to the media.

There are reports that the French Ministry of Health has informed hospitals to prepare for a “major [military] engagement” by March of 2026.

The letter allegedly states that between 10,000 to 50,000 people are to be expected in hospitals.

The leaked letter also reportedly explains that mass casualties are to be expected not just from its own forces, but wounded soldiers from across Europe, and that France would be acting as a ‘rear base’.

It outlines how French hospitals would need to prepare for up to 50 THOUSAND beds allocated to wounded civilians and military personnel EVERY MONTH.

The Ministry of Health also noted that it is considering the creation of medical centers near ports and airports.

Iodine for the prepared…

“In the current international context, it is necessary to anticipate the modalities of health support in situations of high-intensity conflict,” the Ministry of Health letter reportedly notes.

 

The report adds that Health Minister Catherine Vautrin has not denied the authenticity of letter, claiming that it is “part of preparation.”

“It’s part of preparation, like strategic stockpiles, like epidemics,” Vautrin stated.

She added, “Hospitals are constantly preparing for epidemics and patient intake. The fact that the country is preparing for crises and assessing the consequences of what is happening [in the world] is completely normal.”

“I wasn’t in office at the time of Covid-19, remember, there were no words harsh enough to describe the country’s lack of preparedness,” she further stated.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about this.

Earlier this year, the French government sent a ‘survival manual’ to every household in France warning them of an ‘imminent threat to the country’.

Meanwhile, Germany’s military chief says NATO will be on alert as Russia prepares for Zapad 2025, a massive joint drill with Belarus which has been described as a dress rehearsal for a real invasion.

NATO chief Mark Rutte has warned that the world is “on the brink of WW3”, claiming a dual assault from China on Taiwan and Russia on NATO territory could spark a global conflict.
