🇺🇸 Trump Condemns Democrats for NC Train Stabbing

In partnership with

Happy Tuesday, Patriots!

Yesterday, the White House released evidence disputing claims that President Trump signed a risquĂ© “birthday card” for Jeffrey Epstein more than 20 years ago.

News of the alleged card was published in a Wall Street Journal report earlier this summer. Yesterday’s story featured a crude drawing and Trump’s alleged signature. But officials pointed to clear differences from Trump’s known handwriting and called it a fake.

Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich said the matter is grounds for defamation, while Trump’s $10 million lawsuit against News Corp moves forward.

At the same time, House Oversight Chair James Comer has subpoenaed Epstein’s estate for visitor logs and related files.

The pressure for answers continues to build.

President Trump delivered a powerful response to the horrific Charlotte train stabbing that claimed the life of a Ukrainian refugee, boldly declaring that Democrats have "blood on their hands" for their soft-on-crime policies that keep dangerous criminals on our streets. As expected, the left immediately cried "racism" rather than address the real issue - their failed leadership that allows repeat offenders to terrorize innocent Americans. Trump's call for federal intervention to restore law and order stands in stark contrast to the weakness we've witnessed from Democratic-run cities.

The President also made inspiring remarks at the Museum of the Bible, reaffirming America's foundation as "one nation under God" and defending our God-given rights against those who would tear down our cherished principles. With his administration already exposing the Biden team's shocking anti-Christian bias across federal agencies, Trump is proving once again that he's the leader America needs to reclaim our values and secure our streets. We're only into Tuesday, but this week is already showing decisive action and moral clarity that has come to define the Trump presidency.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🏦 Trump Ends Weaponized Banking Discrimination
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency announced new actions to end "unlawful debanking" in the federal banking system, with Comptroller Jonathan Gould stating the OCC is working to root out bank activities that unlawfully debank or discriminate against customers based on political or religious beliefs or lawful business activities. Following President Trump's executive order, the OCC released a bulletin to banks clarifying how it defines "unlawful debanking" in licensing filings and will now consider a bank's debanking practices when determining its Community Reinvestment Act rating. The OCC initially requested information from the nine largest regulated institutions regarding their debanking activities and updated its online customer complaint website to assist consumer reporting. SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler stated that since the Obama Administration, financial institutions have weaponized the banking system against Americans who refused to bend the knee to partisan ideology, with many confirmed debanking cases targeting right-leaning businesses, non-profits, Christian, pro-life, and Second Amendment organizations. The SBA has given its lenders until December 5 to comply with the Trump executive order ending debanking practices and until January 5 to submit compliance reports.

⛪ Trump Task Force Exposes Biden Anti-Christian Bias
President Trump's Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias released a report documenting "numerous instances" of anti-Christian bias during the Biden administration, stating that Biden "weaponized the full weight of the federal government against Christians." The task force found that the Department of Defense, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Department of Labor all "deprioritized, mishandled, or denied requests for religious exemptions" to Biden's COVID-19 mandate, while the Department of Education attempted to impose record-breaking fines on Christian universities. At the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection omitted Christian perspectives from a directive for detainees while deliberately noting accommodations for Islam, Rastafarianism and sects of Judaism. The FBI created a memo asserting that "radical-traditionalist" Catholics were "domestic terrorism threats," while the State Department provided limited humanitarian relief to Christians relative to other populations while offering muted responses to attacks on Christians compared to other groups. The task force found that the Department of Housing and Urban Development discriminated against Christian perspectives in its marketing, taking down social media posts celebrating Christian holidays like Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter while leaving up posts celebrating Pride Month, Ramadan, and Diwali.

🏠 Trump Considers Housing Emergency Declaration
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that the Trump administration may declare a national housing emergency this fall, citing rising prices and dwindling supply that threaten the American dream. Real estate veteran Dan Coakley, who began his career at Lehman Brothers, said that a national housing emergency declaration is "overdue," noting that median rents have risen 21% during his 25-year career while median income has increased only 2%, with 40% of U.S. households now paying more than 30% of their take-home pay on housing costs. Harvard's 2025 State of the Nation's Housing report shows home sales have fallen to a 30-year low, weighed down by high prices, interest rates, rising insurance and taxes, and shrinking affordability. Coakley recommended three main approaches for the White House to tackle the housing emergency: increased funding through tax credits (which Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" allocated with a 13% increase to states), tariff relief on key materials like timber, lumber, gypsum and glass, and federal fast-tracking of zoning reform to reduce non-economic barriers to development. The developer emphasized that young people and first-time homebuyers cannot afford homes due to high interest rates and median wages that have not caught up with costs, creating a state of "limbo or hopelessness" that threatens the American dream's promise of upward mobility.

⚖️ Supreme Court Allows Trump to Remove FTC Commissioner
The Supreme Court has issued an administrative stay, allowing President Trump to keep Democratic FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter from returning to her post while the case proceeds. Chief Justice John Roberts granted this temporary pause on lower-court rulings that had ordered her reinstatement, giving the justices time to review the matter. Trump’s administration argues that the modern FTC holds significant executive power, justifying removal without cause, challenging the long-standing precedent set by the 1935 Humphrey’s Executor decision, which limits such dismissals. The appeals court had ruled that removal without cause violates statutory protections, and Slaughter continues her legal fight. While she remains ousted for now, the broader question of presidential authority over independent agencies is unresolved and moving through the courts.

President Trump delivered a scathing rebuke of Democratic policies following the brutal murder of a Ukrainian refugee on a Charlotte light rail train, declaring that "blood is on the hands of the Democrats" who refuse to incarcerate dangerous criminals. The attack, captured on surveillance footage that horrified viewers nationwide, showed 34-year-old Decarlos Brown stabbing 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska three times in the throat as she sat innocently scrolling her phone.

Trump condemned the perpetrator as a "mentally deranged lunatic" and "madman," questioning why such a career criminal was allowed to roam the streets freely. Brown had been arrested an astounding 14 times and was released on cashless bail, a policy Trump has repeatedly attacked as dangerous to public safety. The President emphasized that criminals like Brown "need to be LOCKED UP" rather than being repeatedly released to terrorize innocent citizens.

Speaking at the Museum of the Bible, Trump declared that while "we're all people of religion," society must confront evil people. "If we don't handle that, we don't have a country," Trump stated, referring to the need to address violent criminals who prey on the innocent. The President specifically targeted former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, calling him "Former Disgraced Governor and 'Wannabe Senator,'" and blamed Democratic soft-on-crime policies for enabling the tragedy.

The surveillance video revealed the horrific nature of the attack, with Zarutska, still wearing her pizzeria uniform from work, becoming the victim of what authorities described as a completely random assault. Brown, who has a criminal history spanning over a decade including armed robbery and felony convictions, served five years in prison but was released and continued his pattern of arrests. The video shows blood dripping from Brown's hand as he walked through the train car after the attack, while passengers looked on in shock.

Trump's administration has launched a comprehensive federal response to the murder, with FBI Director Kash Patel announcing that the bureau has been investigating the case "from day one." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy declared that his department would investigate Charlotte's transit system for failing to protect Zarutska, warning that cities unable to keep their public transportation safe don't deserve taxpayer funding. Both officials framed the incident as having national implications beyond North Carolina.

The case became a flashpoint in North Carolina's upcoming Senate race, with Trump endorsing Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Whatley over Cooper. Whatley accused Cooper's "spineless, soft-on-crime policies" of unleashing predators like Brown, while the National Republican Senatorial Committee echoed Trump's argument that Cooper's policies kept violent criminals on the streets. Cooper's campaign pushed back, claiming he spent his career prosecuting violent criminals and keeping them behind bars.

North Carolina's Democratic Governor Josh Stein faced widespread criticism for his delayed response to the murder, only commenting after social media backlash erupted. When Stein finally spoke, calling for "more cops on the beat," Republican officials including Rep. Tim Moore and Sen. Tom Cotton dismissed his response as missing the point entirely. They argued that the problem wasn't insufficient police but rather "soft-on-crime, leftist judges and magistrates" who repeatedly released career criminals like Brown.

Media coverage of the incident sparked its own controversy, with CNN's Brian Stelter claiming that "pro-Trump activists" had seized upon the murder as a political symbol. Stelter suggested the attention was comparable to civil rights groups highlighting police-involved shootings, but acknowledged that Brown's status as a repeat offender raised legitimate questions about the criminal justice system. Critics accused mainstream media outlets of initially ignoring the story to protect Democratic politicians from scrutiny over their crime policies.

The case perfectly encapsulated Trump's message about the consequences of Democratic governance in major cities, where repeat offenders cycle through a revolving-door justice system. Brown's extensive criminal record, including multiple arrests in recent years for communicating threats and misusing the 911 system, demonstrated the failure of current policies to protect public safety. His own mother had previously tried to have him institutionalized, recognizing the danger he posed to society, yet the system repeatedly released him back onto the streets.

Trump's response reflected his administration's zero-tolerance approach to violent crime, positioning the Charlotte murder as evidence that Democratic policies directly endanger innocent Americans. The President's emotional reaction to the video footage, describing it as barely watchable due to its horrific nature, resonated with Americans frustrated by seemingly preventable tragedies. The administration's promise to hold cities accountable through federal funding mechanisms represents a new approach to addressing urban crime from Washington.

The tragic death of Iryna Zarutska, who fled war-torn Ukraine seeking safety in America only to be murdered by a career criminal who should have been incarcerated, became a symbol of systemic failure under Democratic leadership. Trump's forceful condemnation and policy response signal his administration's commitment to ending the cycle of catch-and-release that has plagued American cities for years.

President Trump speaks at the Museum of the Bible on Monday.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

⚖️ A federal appeals court upheld the $83.3 million defamation judgment against President Trump in the E. Jean Carroll case, with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejecting Trump's arguments about presidential immunity and claims that the verdict was unjust. The three-judge panel concluded that Trump failed to identify grounds for reconsidering their prior ruling on presidential immunity and that the jury's damages awards were "fair and reasonable," describing Trump's conduct as having "remarkably high" reprehensibility that was "perhaps unprecedented." Trump now faces the choice of accepting the ruling or appealing to the Supreme Court after the full panel of judges declined to hear his challenge.

🔫 Ryan Routh's jury selection began in Fort Pierce, Florida, for his federal trial on charges of attempting to assassinate President Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club, with the self-represented defendant asking bizarre questions about Gaza, Greenland acquisition, and how jurors would react to spotting a turtle in the road. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Routh's questions as "politically charged" and irrelevant to jury selection, while Routh complained about jail conditions and withdrew potential witnesses who he said feared arrest or deportation. Prosecutors allege Routh staked out a position in shrubbery and pointed a rifle at Trump while the then-presidential candidate played golf, abandoning his weapon after Secret Service agents opened fire on him.

đźš” Illinois Democrats are rejecting President Trump's proposals to deploy the National Guard to Chicago despite the city's police department facing a staffing shortage of more than 2,000 officers since the pandemic-era "defund the police" movement, with Mayor Brandon Johnson declaring "no federal troops in the city of Chicago." The Chicago Police Department dropped from 13,353 sworn members in 2019 to 11,602 as of July 2025, leading to more than 50% of high-priority 911 calls going unanswered in 2023 due to understaffing, while Trump has touted his successful federalization of Washington D.C.'s police force as an example for other crime-ridden cities. Johnson has characterized current incarceration rates as "racist" and rejected Trump's law-and-order approach, while Trump cited Chicago's bloody weekends with eight killed and 74 wounded in recent violence as proof the city needs federal assistance.

🛡️ Democrats have flooded the House's annual defense policy bill with roughly 450 amendments targeting President Trump's administration and GOP priorities, including measures to restore diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the Pentagon and block migrant detention facilities on military installations. Rep. Jasmine Crockett filed amendments to strike prohibitions on DEI funding and halt construction of migrant detention facilities, while Rep. Maxwell Frost introduced language barring Defense Department funds from supporting migrant processing operations. Progressive lawmakers including Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar introduced measures aimed at limiting U.S. support for Israel, with Tlaib's amendment seeking to ban arms sales to countries with officials under International Criminal Court arrest warrants and Omar's proposal targeting Israel's emergency access to U.S. weapons stockpiles.

🎖️ President Trump celebrated West Point's alumni association canceling an award ceremony to honor Tom Hanks, calling the actor "destructive" and "woke" after the group scrapped plans to present Hanks with the 2025 Sylvanus Thayer Award. The West Point Association of Graduates canceled the ceremony that was scheduled for September 25, with association CEO Mark Bieger stating the decision allows the Academy to focus on "preparing cadets to lead, fight, and win as officers in the world's most lethal force." Hanks, who has been politically active supporting Democratic politicians including Obama, Clinton, Biden and Harris, previously called Trump a "self-involved gasbag" and criticized his policies during Trump's first term, while the Sylvanus Thayer Award recognizes outstanding citizens whose service exemplifies West Point's motto of "Duty, Honor, Country."
