Blinken warns Iran at UN Security Council: ‘We will defend our people’

Blinken warns Iran at UN Security Council: ‘We will defend our people’

News- US
http://youtu.be/q5dqPEf93AI Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the United Nations Security Council Tuesday that while the US does not seek war with Iran, Washington will not hesitate to “defend our security” after a series of attacks on American forces in Iraq and Syria by Tehran’s proxies. There have been at least six publicly acknowledged attacks on US military sites in the Middle East over the past week, fueled by the Israeli response to Hamas’ surprise terror attack on Oct. 7. “Let me say what we’ve consistently said to Iranian officials through other channels: The United States does not seek conflict with Iran, we do not want this war to widen,” Blinken said at Turtle Bay. “But if Iran or its proxies attack US personnel anywhere, make no mistake – we will defend our people, we ...
Biden complains aid meant for Palestinian civilians not arriving ‘fast enough’ from Egypt

Biden complains aid meant for Palestinian civilians not arriving ‘fast enough’ from Egypt

News- US
http://youtu.be/RWXKq8jV9LA President Biden said Tuesday that international humanitarian aid meant for Palestinian civilians is arriving too slowly as Israel and the terrorist group Hamas battle in the densely populated Gaza Strip. “Not fast enough,” Biden said in response to a question about aid delivery as he left a scientific awards ceremony at the White House. The 80-year-old president said last week he had convinced Egyptian officials to open the long-closed Rafah border crossing to food and medicine — after Israeli crossings were closed following Hamas’ slaughter of more than 1,400 people in its Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. A convoy of 20 trucks entered Gaza on Saturday after Egyptian officials repaved the roadway. Biden last week pledged $100 million in US aid to Palestini...

Hurricane Otis weakens to Category 4 storm while flash floods batter southern Mexico

Hurricane Otis weakens to Category 4 storm while flash floods batter southern Mexico

News- US
http://youtu.be/8GBTBZbZtBY Hurricane Otis slammed into Mexico’s southern Pacific coast as a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane early Wednesday, bringing dangerous winds and heavy rain to Acapulco and surrounding towns, stirring memories of a 1997 storm that killed dozens of people. Now a Category 4 storm, the hurricane was expected to continue to weaken quickly in Guerrero state’s steep mountains. But the 5 to 10 inches (13 to 25 centimeters) of rain forecast, with as much as 15 inches (38 centimeters) possible in some areas, raised the threat of landslides and floods. Otis was about 25 miles (40 kilometers) north-northwest of Acapulco with its maximum sustained winds decreasing to 130 mph (215 kph) and moving at 10 mph (17 kph). The center of Otis is expected to move farther inland o...

Mark Meadows granted immunity in federal 2020 election case against Trump: report

News- US
http://youtu.be/vxlaq0s0BFk Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was granted immunity by special counsel Jack Smith in exchange for his testimony in the federal 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump, according to a report. Trump allies have long suspected that Meadows was cooperating with Smith and some have even been apprehensive about talking with the former White House aide over fears that the FBI was monitoring his communications. Meadows reportedly told Smith’s team that he informed Trump several times in the weeks after his 2020 presidential election loss to Joe Biden that allegations of widespread voting fraud were without merit, according to ABC News. The former North Carolina congressman also reportedly told prosecutors that Trump, 7...

News- US
http://youtu.be/LEHka8PkHTw A third attorney who falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen flipped Tuesday and agreed to cooperate in the criminal case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia — saying she had “deep remorse” for her actions. Jenna Ellis, 38, tearfully said she “failed” to do “due diligence” on claims that the election was stolen through fraud in swing states including Georgia, where former Vice President Joe Biden beat Trump by fewer than 12,000 votes — joining former Trump attorneys Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro in pleading guilty. “I relied on others, including lawyers with many more years of experience than I, to provide me with true and reliable information, especially since my role involved speaking to the media and to legislators in various states,” El...

Israeli forces deploy on borders with Lebanon as crossfire continues

News- US
http://youtu.be/LEkX0DU0DJA Israeli tanks and troops were stationed along the border with Lebanon on Thursday morning (October 19), while plumes of smoke rose from a fire on the Israeli side of the borders, from what seems is a hit from the Lebanon side. This came as troops prepared for a ground assault on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in the country's hit back for an unprecedented assault on its territory, and Iran warned of "far-reaching consequences" if Israel's bombardment was not stopped.

Biden appeared to read teleprompter instruction to ‘make it clear’ during national address

News- US
http://youtu.be/EJo8THIsRpI President Biden began his rare address to the nation from the Oval Office by staring aimlessly at the camera and stumbling over his words – and then seemingly reading his teleprompter instructions. The 80-year-old commander-in-chief looked around, seemingly unaware that he was on live, before he started to speak as he squinted in the glare of the lights. At one point, Biden appeared to read an autocue instruction to “make it clear” — similar to how last year he read out “repeat the line” in another speech. “We’ll have something that we do not seek — make it clear we do not seek — we do not seek to have American troops fighting in Russia,” he said. Biden later fumbled by stating that “you’ll all America” before correcting himself and saying, “You’re all Amer...

Speaking to those troops Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said they would soon see Gaza “from the inside. “Whoever sees Gaza from afar will soon see it from the inside,” h...

http://youtu.be/G_1nC0V-KjM Rep. Jim Jordan kicked off a third day of voting in the House with a history lesson, highlighting the herculean task before House Republicans to "step up" and elect him speaker by the end of the day. "I represent Wapakoneta, Ohio, Auglaize County, Ohio, hometown of Neil Armstrong, who 22 years after Chuck Yeager breaks the sound barrier, steps on the moon," Jordan said in a Capitol Hill press conference around 8 a.m. The Ohio Republican leaned on anecdotes from a visit to the Wright Brothers National Museum in his home state as well as his "favorite scripture verse" in brief remarks calling his caucus to action. "Stop and think about it," Jordan told reporters. "In 66 years, one lifetime, we went from two guys flying a hundred feet to putting a man on the mo...

Earlier Friday, Jordan kicked off the day with a call for House Republicans to “step up” and elect him by the end of the day to break the gridlock. The Ohio Republican compared the difficult task ahead of his colleagues to America having put “a man on the moon” in “one lifetime” — as he faces more than 20 members who have opposed his speakership bid thus far. “The quickest way to get all this work done is to get a speaker elected — that’s what I hope we can do today,” Jordan said.

Starbucks sued the union in Iowa federal court for trademark infringement, demanding that the union stop using “the Starbucks name and other identifying symbols.” The lawsuit said “customers [were] misled and confused over the source or endorsement” of Starbucks Workers United’s pro-Palestinian message because of the union’s name and the two entities’ similar circular, green-and-white logos.

http://youtu.be/HwQdkpNgIOM Hardline conservative Republican Jim Jordan's quest to become speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives ended on Friday (October 20) as his fellow Republicans revoked their support following a third, failed vote on the House floor, lawmakers said. Jordan told reporters that he had been honored to be a candidate but that the his caucus had informed him that he should drop out of the race. Republicans voted 112-86 to revoke Jordan's nomination in a closed-door meeting.
