    President Trump Threatens To Pull FIFA World Cup From Boston

    President Donald Trump suggested that he may push to have the 2026 FIFA World Cup games removed from Boston unless the city’s mayor, Michelle Wu, takes stronger action to curb rising crime, including a recent violent street takeover targeting police officers.

    Speaking to the media during a White House meeting with Argentinian President Javier Milei, Trump expressed frustration over Boston’s public safety situation and said he would consider calling FIFA President Gianni Infantino to relocate the matches to cities that better ensure security for players, fans, and officials.

    “We can take them away. I love the people of Boston. And I know the games are sold out, but the mayor is not good. There are worse than her. At least she’s intelligent… But she’s radical left,” Trump said.

    The president added that if he determines “unsafe conditions” persist, he would ask FIFA to move the games elsewhere.

    “The answer is yes… If somebody’s doing a bad job, and if I feel there’s unsafe conditions, I would call Gianni, the head of FIFA… and I would say, ‘Let’s move it to another location.’”

    Violent Street Takeover Sparks Outcry

    Trump’s comments come in the wake of a chaotic and violent street takeover in Boston that occurred early on October 5, involving more than 100 people. According to the Boston Police Department, participants engaged in reckless street racing and aggressively attacked police cruisers with fireworks, cones, and poles.

    One police cruiser was set ablaze during the incident and had to be towed away.

    “They were hell-bent on attacking law enforcement officials,” said the president of a Boston police union, condemning the incident.

    Boston’s Role in the 2026 World Cup

    Boston is currently slated to host seven matches during the World Cup, including five group-stage games, a Round of 32 fixture, and the first quarterfinal on July 9, 2026. The city’s hosting duties are considered a highlight for New England soccer fans and international visitors.

    Mayor Michelle Wu’s office responded to Trump’s threat with a statement emphasizing Boston’s pride in hosting the event.

    “Boston is honored and excited to host World Cup matches, and we look forward to welcoming fans from around the world to our beautiful city, the cradle of liberty and city of champions,” the statement said.

    Broader Threats Over Public Safety

    Trump extended his warnings beyond Boston, also mentioning the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

    “I could say the same thing for the Olympics,” he said. “If I thought LA was not going to be prepared properly, I’d move it to another location.”

    Mayor Wu has previously criticized the Trump administration’s approach to law enforcement and immigration policy, accusing it of “causing so much fear and harm in our communities.”

    In August, Wu condemned federal threats to withhold funding or sue cities refusing to cooperate on immigration enforcement.

    This latest exchange highlights ongoing political tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic leaders in major cities, particularly over public safety and policing.

    Trump Planning Paris-Style Monument In DC

      Washington, D.C. — President Donald Trump is setting his sights on a bold new symbol of American pride and accomplishment — an “Arc de Trump,” inspired by Paris’s world-famous Arc de Triomphe. The proposed monument, envisioned for the edge of the nation’s capital, would serve as a lasting tribute to America’s achievements and Trump’s vision for national greatness.

      According to Axios’ Marc Caputo, three scale models of the proposed arch now sit inside the White House, where Trump has been personally studying 3D layouts of Washington, D.C., and refining the design himself. The location under consideration lies near the Memorial Bridge, connecting Arlington Cemetery to the capital — a place steeped in American history.

      “Let’s build something like the Arc de Triomphe in that space,” Trump reportedly told a White House visitor. “It would be beautiful when you drive or fly in.”

      A Monument to Legacy and Vision

      Those close to Trump say the idea reflects his long-standing passion for architecture, design, and symbolism.

      “President Bush liked to paint. Trump likes to build and design,” one aide said. “This is his artistic outlet.”

      While critics have compared the concept to grandiose European designs, Trump’s supporters see something entirely different — a celebration of American achievement, not foreign imitation.

      “He’s stamping his legacy on the presidency and on the White House forever,” a senior adviser said. “No one can get rid of the ballroom. It will be difficult to take all of the gold away. Who would even do that?”

      Building on American Grandeur

      The “Arc de Trump” would join other ambitious redesigns and restoration projects Trump has championed, from a $250 million presidential ballroom to marble-floored corridors echoing the elegance of Mar-a-Lago. White House aides say the president has devoted extensive time — as much as 20 hours — to design meetings, often fitting them in between key policy discussions and diplomatic calls.

      “He’s more of a Corinthian man,” one official said, referring to Trump’s appreciation for ornate classical architecture.

      For supporters, the project reflects more than a love of beauty — it’s about leaving a tangible mark of confidence, prosperity, and strength in America’s capital.

      “This is about honoring America with something bold and beautiful,” one Trump ally said. “He’s a builder at heart — and this is what builders do.”

      Republican Congressman Calls For Swift Investigation Following Disturbing Office Discovery

      Rep. Dave Taylor (R-Ohio) is calling for a full investigation after a disturbing image surfaced showing what appeared to be an altered American flag — twisted into a swastika — displayed behind one of his staffers during a virtual meeting.

      The image, first reported by Politico and amplified on social media by an Ohio blogger, quickly drew outrage. But Taylor’s office says it may not be what it appears.

      “I am aware of an image that appears to depict a vile and deeply inappropriate symbol near an employee in my office,” Taylor said in a statement. “The content of that image does not reflect the values or standards of this office, my staff, or myself, and I condemn it in the strongest terms.”

      Taylor emphasized that he acted immediately, directing Capitol Police to investigate what he described as a potentially malicious act.

      “Upon learning of this matter, I immediately directed a thorough investigation alongside Capitol Police, which remains ongoing,” the statement continued.

      A spokesperson for the congressman suggested the image might have been the result of “foul play or vandalism,” not any endorsement of the offensive imagery by his staff. The photo appeared to show Angelo “AJ” Elia, a legislative correspondent who joined Taylor’s office in January, sitting at his cubicle with the doctored flag visible behind him.

      Elia — who recently earned a master’s degree in legislative affairs from George Washington University — has not commented publicly. Taylor’s office has not said whether any personnel actions have been taken while the investigation proceeds.

      The controversy comes amid renewed scrutiny of conservative youth organizations after Politico reported on leaked Telegram messages allegedly showing racist and anti-Semitic comments from some Young Republican leaders. The timing of the leak, combined with the sudden surfacing of the photo from Taylor’s office, has raised questions among some Republicans about whether politically motivated actors are attempting to smear conservatives ahead of the 2024 election cycle.

      The image was first posted on X (formerly Twitter) by Ohio blogger DJ Byrnes, who claimed a friend had a Zoom meeting with Taylor’s office and noticed the symbol. “A friend in DC had a Zoom call with Congressman Dave Taylor’s office today … Taylor’s legislative correspondent, Angelo Elia, had what can only be described as an American swastika flag prominently displayed in his background,” Byrnes wrote Wednesday.

      Report: Trump Authorized Covert CIA Action In Venezuela

      The Trump administration has escalated its campaign against Venezuela’s authoritarian leader, Nicolas Maduro, and has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in the country, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, while citing United States officials.

      The authorization is the latest escalation in the Trump administration’s intensifying pressure campaign against Venezuela. For weeks, the U.S. military has been targeting drug boats off the Venezuelan coast. American officials have been clear, privately, that the end goal is to drive Maduro from power.

      The new authority would allow the C.I.A. to carry out lethal operations in Venezuela and conduct a range of operations in the Caribbean.

      The New York Times reports:

      The agency would be able to take covert action against Mr. Maduro or his government either unilaterally or in conjunction with a larger military operation. It is not known whether the C.I.A. is planning any operations in Venezuela or if the authorities are meant as a contingency.

      The development comes as the U.S. military is planning to escalate its ongoing operation, drawing up options for President Trump to consider, including strikes inside Venezuela.

      The scale of the military buildup in the region is substantial: There are currently 10,000 U.S. troops there, most of them at bases in Puerto Rico, but also a contingent of Marines on amphibious assault ships. In all, the Navy has eight surface warships and a submarine in the Caribbean.

      The new authorities, known in intelligence jargon as a presidential finding, were described by multiple U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the highly classified document.

      The Trump administration’s strategy on Venezuela, developed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with help from John Ratcliffe, the C.I.A. director, aims to oust Maduro from power.

      Mr. Ratcliffe has said little about what his agency is doing in Venezuela. But he has promised that the C.I.A. under his leadership would become more aggressive. During his confirmation hearing, Mr. Ratcliffe said he would make the C.I.A. less averse to risk and more willing to conduct covert action when ordered by the president, “going places no one else can go and doing things no one else can do.”

      President Trump ordered an end to diplomatic talks with the Maduro government this month as he grew frustrated with the Venezuelan leader’s failure to adhere to U.S. demands to give up power voluntarily and the continued insistence by officials that they had no part in drug trafficking.

      Federal Prosecutors ‘At Work’ To Bring Charges Against John Bolton

      Federal prosecutors are reportedly preparing charges against former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton, a longtime critic of President Trump, over his handling of classified materials — a move that comes after months of internal resistance from within the Justice Department.

      According to CNN’s Katelyn Polantz, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland met over the weekend to hammer out the details of a potential indictment. Citing unnamed sources, Polantz reported that the Maryland team had initially pushed back against DOJ leadership’s push to charge Bolton, but those objections have now “lifted,” and the team is “at work” on the case.

      Appearing on CNN’s The Situation Room with anchor Pamela Brown, Polantz explained that the disagreement was “about when to charge” Bolton — suggesting that some inside the DOJ were concerned about timing rather than substance.

      “From what I had learned through sources,” Polantz said, “was that the dispute was over timing — whether to charge John Bolton very soon or prepare an indictment very soon to take it through the grand jury, or whether there needed to be more time since those searches of his home and office only took place a couple of weeks ago.”

      In late August, FBI agents raided Bolton’s Maryland home and private office, seizing materials reportedly marked “secret,” “confidential,” and “classified,” including documents referencing weapons of mass destruction. Investigators also collected electronics and files labeled “Trump I–IV,” according to court filings.

      Bolton — who has been a vocal Trump critic since leaving the administration — has denied any wrongdoing. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, said the items taken were “decades old” and insisted that his client “did nothing inappropriate.”

      Trump Awards Charlie Kirk Presidential Medal Of Freedom

        The White House posthumously awarded late political activist Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor

        “Although he was taken from us far too soon, his legacy will inspire generations to come and outlive us all,” “The Charlie Kirk Show” executive producer Andrew Kolvet told Fox News Digital. “He represents the very best of America and is deserving of this and every other possible accolade. Thank you to President Trump for quite literally shifting world events to honor Charlie on what would have been his 32nd birthday.” 

        “Only Charlie could do that,” Kolvet added. 

        Kirk was assassinated Sept. 10 while attending a TPUSA event at Utah Valley University’s campus. The conservative movement leader was sitting under a tent while chatting with students when a shot rang out and struck Kirk in the neck, killing him.

        Trump announced in September that he would posthumously award Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom, calling him “a giant of his generation, a champion of liberty and an inspiration to millions and millions of people.” 

        “I have no doubt that Charlie’s voice and the courage he put into the hearts of countless people, especially young people, will live on,” Trump said Sept. 11 when announcing he would award Kirk the honor. 

        TPUSA’s Chief Operating Officer Tyler Bowyer told Fox Digital that the award ceremony will be felt by every youth who has been involved with the conservative advocacy group. 

        “Charlie will be honored today on behalf of the millions of conservative activists he helped lift up to save the movement and the country. Today in the White House this award will be felt by every young man and young woman who was impacted by his work. They can wear it too by carrying on doing the work,” Bowyer said. 

        David Engelhardt, lead pastor of Kings’ Church New York City and board member of TPUSA, told Fox News Digital that it’s a “profound privilege to be able to witness this moment recognizing Charlie’s courage, conviction, and leadership in defense of faith and freedom.”

        The award ceremony was held at the White House and came on the heels of Trump’s return from the Middle East earlier Tuesday after Trump announced an end to the war in Gaza, which has raged since 2023.

        House Democrat Says House GOP is Plotting Epstein Revolt Against Trump

        Are the tides turning against Trump?

        A House Democrat claims that a large swath of House Republicans are planning to go against President Trump to push a vote on sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s files.

        Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) claimed that multiple House Republican colleagues informed him that they’re planning a “jail break” revolt of over 100 lawmakers against President Donald Trump if there’s a discharge petition to force a vote on the Jeffrey Epstein files release.

        The long-awaited vote, pushed by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), has been delayed as the House remains in recess amid a government shutdown, but it reportedly has enough signatures to force action once the chamber reconvenes.

        Trump, who urged the release of the Epstein files on the campaign trail, has since dismissed the case as “a hoax” and told supporters not to “waste time” on the matter. This comes amid renewed scrutiny of his association with Epstein after newly released documents included a purported birthday note to the disgraced financier, which he denied writing.

        In a post to X on Wednesday, Swalwell gleefully shared that “Trump’s movement/support is fading” among Republicans and that one GOP lawmaker told him “no [one] wants to defend a pedo-protector.”

        House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is facing growing bipartisan criticism for the voting delay, with critics accusing him of extending the recess to avoid the politically explosive issue.

        “Johnson and the House Republicans care more about protecting the Epstein files than protecting the American people,” said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

        Johnson dismissed the charge as “totally absurd,” telling NBC’s Meet the Press on Monday that he supports full transparency: “I want every page of this out.”

        Massie lashed out at the recess on Sunday, warning he had “218 votes for the discharge petition.”

        Major Book Publisher Apologizes to Melania Trump for ‘Unverified’ Epstein Claims

          It’s about time…

          HarperCollins UK issued a formal apology to First Lady Melania Trump on Tuesday and pulled copies of a book about Prince Andrew that repeated an unverified claim that Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump.

          The apology, the third from a major media outlet in recent months, marks an increasingly aggressive push by Melania Trump’s legal team to stamp out any association between her and the disgraced financier.

          The First Lady shared a statement from the publisher on X:

          “We have, in consultation with the author, removed several passages of the book that referenced unverified claims about the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump,” HarperCollins UK said in the statement. “Copies of the book that included those references are being permanently removed from distribution. HarperCollins UK apologizes to the First Lady.”

          The passages appeared in Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, an unauthorized biography of Prince Andrew, an Epstein associate. Though the book did not allege any wrongdoing by Melania Trump, it claimed Epstein “facilitated” her introduction to her husband. Melania’s representatives repeatedly dismissed the claim as “malicious” and “defamatory.”

          “The true account of how the first lady met President Trump is in her bestselling book, Melania,” a spokesperson said, adding that the couple met at a New York party in 1998 through another guest.

          Trump Administration Delivers Historic Border Security Win — Lowest Apprehensions Since 1970

          The Trump administration has closed fiscal year 2025 with a historic milestone on border security — the lowest U.S. Border Patrol apprehensions in more than five decades, according to preliminary enforcement data released by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

          Border agents recorded 237,565 apprehensions in fiscal year 2025 — slightly above the 201,780 apprehensions in 1970 but dramatically below recent levels. The numbers represent an 87% drop compared to the average of the past four fiscal years (1.86 million apprehensions) and showcase what can happen when the federal government finally enforces immigration laws.

          This achievement came even though 72% of this year’s total apprehensions happened during the final 111 days of the Biden administration — before President Trump returned to office and immediately began reversing his predecessor’s “open-border” policies.

          “Fiscal year 2025 shows what happens when we enforce the law without compromise,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. “For too long, agents and officers were handcuffed by failed policies. Today they are empowered to do their jobs — and the result is the most secure border in modern history.”

          Reversing Biden’s Border Chaos

          When President Trump took office in January 2025, he inherited what many described as a border crisis fueled by Biden’s mass-release policies. In just the first 111 days of the fiscal year, under Biden’s watch, 172,026 apprehensions occurred — nearly three-quarters of the year’s total.

          But once Trump’s immigration directives took effect, the situation changed dramatically. Over the next 254 days, apprehensions plummeted to 65,539 — just 27% of the fiscal year’s total.

          September 2025 alone saw only about 279 apprehensions per day along the Southwest border — a staggering 95% decline compared to the Biden-era daily average of 5,110. It also marked the fifth consecutive month of zero illegal immigrant releases by Border Patrol — a stark contrast to 9,144 releases in September 2024.

          Across all entry points, CBP recorded roughly 26,000 total encounters in September, down 89% from Biden’s monthly averages.

          Strong Action From Day One

          President Trump wasted no time taking decisive action to reestablish border control:

          • Deployed additional personnel to the southern border.
          • Ended “catch-and-release”, ensuring illegal migrants are no longer released while awaiting hearings.
          • Shut down Biden’s CBP One app parole loophole, later repurposing the app to help migrants self-deport.
          • Paused parole programs and authorized ICE to cancel parole statuses.
          • Ordered strict enforcement of existing immigration laws, restoring morale and authority to frontline border agents.

          These policies stand in sharp contrast to Biden’s approach, which relied on controversial “parole” programs and insisted on new legislation instead of acting on existing laws.

          Gov. JB Pritzker Claims President Trump Deploying Troops To Chicago Due To ‘Dementia’

          The gloves are off…

          Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Tuesday accused President Trump of deploying National Guard troops to the Democrat cities of Chicago and Portland based on fixations that stem in part from his being mentally impaired.

          “This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” Pritzker said in a telephone interview with the Tribune. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head. He can’t get it out of his head. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.

          “And then, unfortunately, he has the power of the military, the power of the federal government to do his bidding, and that’s what he’s doing.”

          During the interview, Pritzker — who has been one of Trump’s harshest critics and is a potential 2028 presidential Democrat candidate — said the courts will play an integral role in challenging Trump’s efforts in Illinois and across the nation.

          “We’re not going to go to war between the state of Illinois and the federal government, not taking up arms against the federal government,” Pritzker said. “But we are monitoring everything they’re doing, and using that monitoring to win in court.”

          The governor’s comments came as National Guard troops from Texas were assembling at a U.S. Army Reserve training center in far southwest suburban Elwood and Trump’s administration was moving forward with deploying 300 members of the Illinois National Guard for at least 60 days over the vocal and legal objections of Pritzker and other local elected leaders.

          The Trump administration has said the troops are needed to protect federal agents and facilities involved in its ongoing deportation surge and has sought to do much the same in Portland, Oregon, though those efforts have been stymied so far by temporary court rulings.

          Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, the president reiterated that he was considering employing the two-century-old Insurrection Act to get around legal court orders that would deny him the ability to deploy National Guard troops to cities such as Chicago and Portland over governors’ objections.

          “It’s been invoked before,” Trump said of the law, which the Brennan Center for Justice said has been used 30 times, starting with President George Washington, to quell the Whiskey Rebellion of 1794.

          The last time the Insurrection Act was invoked was by President George H.W. Bush during the Los Angeles riots of 1992, with the support of California Gov. Pete Wilson. It also was used in Chicago in 1968 by President Lyndon Johnson to curb rioting over the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. with the backing of Mayor Richard J. Daley and acting Gov. Samuel Shapiro.

          As Pritzker has sought to counter Trump on nearly every front, he has joined California Gov. Gavin Newsom in threatening to leave the bipartisan National Governors Association because the organization hasn’t spoken out against Trump’s National Guard mobilizations.
