Trump Floats Renaming Strait Of Hormuz After Himself, Claims US Is Winning War Against Iran
US President Donald Trump floated the idea of renaming the Strait of Hormuz the Trump Strait during a speech in Corpus Christi, Texas, as he defended American military action against Iran. Trump claimed that the United States was achieving a major victory against Tehran and insisted that Washington had not started the conflict. He also claimed that more oil was flowing through the strategic waterway and suggested naming it after himself, asking the audience, Should we do it? The remarks came as Trump defended the military campaign, claimed Iran's naval and air capabilities had been devastated and predicted that gasoline prices would fall despite the economic impact of the conflict.

Trump's Ex-Press Secretary Isn't Giving Up On Him? Zacharia Reveals Six-Word Message That Drives Her
President Donald Trump's former press secretary Katie Zacharia is making headlines after revealing the six-word message that continues to guide her following her White House exit. Zacharia says Trump's motto, Never quit and always hit back, fuels her determination to keep fighting for the president and his America First agenda. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, she reflects on Trump's campaign energy, defends his immigration crackdown and tariff policies, and signals her political journey may not be over yet.

Federal prosecutors fail to get grand jury indictment against Cassidy Hutchinson
Federal prosecutors were rebuffed in their effort to secure an indictment against former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson over her testimony related to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, according to four sources briefed on the grand jury proceedings. The Justice Department has not yet responded to a request for comment. The Washington Post first reported that the grand jury declined to indict Hutchinson. Hutchinson, who was a top aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, angered President Trump's allies and his base when she testified in 2022 before the House select committee investigating the 2021 Capitol attack. In depositions and congressional testimony, Hutchinson said that Mr. Trump and Meadows were warned on Jan. 6 that some of his supporters were carrying weapons to the Capitol, but Mr. Trump said he didn't care and he tried to order officials to remove the magnetometers at the rally where he spoke that morning. She also relayed a story she said had been told to her by then-White House deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato, in which Mr. Trump grew incensed after his lead Secret Service agent would not drive him to the Capitol after the president's speech to supporters. During that address on the White House Ellipse, he had encouraged them to go to the Capitol, where Congress was confirming the Electoral College results from the 2020 election. He told supporters that after this, we're going to walk down, and I'll be there with you. Hutchinson testified that Ornato had told her that in the car, Mr. Trump lunged at the steering wheel. Her account was later contradicted by Mr. Trump's driver, who in sworn testimony claimed that the president never tried to grab the steering wheel. CBS News could not determine precisely which parts of Hutchinson's testimony were being scrutinized by prosecutors. According to media reports, House Republican allies of the president made the referral to the Justice Department. The Civil Rights Division has been handling the Hutchinson investigation, sources said.

A Cheesecake Factory joke fuels Trump and Obama's back-and-forth before midterms
With a week to go until the 2026 midterm elections , you'd be forgiven for thinking that President Trump and former President Barack Obama were running against each other this year. While campaigning for Democrats in Ohio over the weekend, Obama mocked the various renovation projects that Trump has been overseeing at the White House, prompting a pointed response from the president and his administration. I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovations, Obama told the crowd in Cleveland. He should be on HGTV. Guy's building a ballroom that's bigger than the White House. He's paved over the Rose Garden. He's put a helicopter pad on the South Lawn. And there's gold everywhere what's up with the gold? Everything, more gold. He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. What else did Obama say? Obama also skewered the Trump administration for the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool controversy. Remember that whole thing about 'drain the swamp'? he said. The only thing that got drained was the reflecting pool in the National Mall after some no-bid contract got it all messed up, and then they tried to blame a three-time Olympian and say he vandalized it. Obama also taunted Trump for starting a trade war with that well-known evil empire, Canada. I mean, these are the people who gave us maple syrup and Martin Short, Obama said. But it was the Cheesecake Factory line that seemed to strike a nerve with Trump . What was Trump's response? In a Truth Social post hours after Obama spoke, Trump called Obama a grossly incompetent President but did not address the Cheesecake Factory comment. On Monday, the White House account on X posted a digitally altered image of the restaurant's menu listing what it described as Trump's accomplishments, saying, The only thing bigger than the menu is the list of President Trump's accomplishments. Then on Tuesday, the White House hosted an hourslong YouTube livestream titled Lo-fi Beats to Dismantle DEI To, featuring a split-screen of what the administration described as Trump's efforts to dismantle DEI and an AI-generated cartoon of the president waving to a crowd of Americans in front of a Cheesecake Factory. A Cheesecake Factory in Naperville, Ill., in 2025. Timothy Hiatt via Getty Images At a campaign rally in Mississippi on Monday, President Trump praised the restaurant chain as a very successful company and defended the need for White House renovations which are projected to cost at least $900 million while denying that he has spent too much time focusing on them. The White House represents our country, and that has to be pristine, Trump said in Corinth, Miss., while stumping for incumbent GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith. I would try and explain that to a guy like Obama, but he wouldn't understand. He doesn't understand the White House has to be clean, pristine, beautiful. It can't have cracks in the column. Trump insisted that he had spent very little time on redesigning the White House, but also said that he has fun doing it and that it actually relaxes me. I do it very good, he said. I'm really good in real estate and fixing things. I fix things very good, very beautifully and I always build beautiful and inexpensive, which is a good combination if you can do. Most Americans, though, disapprove of the president devoting his time to such projects. An ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted earlier this month found 59% of U.S. adults say Trump is spending too much time on renovating the White House, compared with 27% who say he is spending the right amount of time and 11% who say not enough. What's at stake? President-elect Donald Trump shakes hands with President Barack Obama during a meeting in the Oval Office, Nov. 10, 2016. Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images The president, whose overall approval ratings are near all-time lows, has been out on the campaign trail hoping to help Republicans avert a so-called blue wave and hold on to control of Congress. In recent stump speeches, Trump has urged would-be voters to pretend he's running to encourage a bigger turnout. In this election, if you would, I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot, he said in Mississippi. Obama has been out on the trail too. He's seeking to boost Democrats in key races, such as those in Ohio and Michigan, as the party looks to flip both chambers of Congress. But Trump suggested Obama is campaigning against him. He fought me with crooked Hillary [Clinton]. That didn't work out well. Then he fought me with Kamala [Harris]. That didn't work out well, the president said. And now they say, 'Oh, whoa. Barack Obama is going to start campaigning.' And he's not even campaigning. Tell him he's not campaigning about me. Maybe he'll go home.

People are influenced by unreliable information yet remain aware of its influence on their decisions
Every day, people make decisions based on information obtained from social media, news outlets, online reviews and interpersonal communication, all of which vary in reliability. Numerical indicators and labels designed to convey information reliability, such as user ratings and fact-checking systems, have become increasingly common online. However, an important question remains: When reliability is explicitly stated, do people use this information appropriately for making decisions?

All Ships Will Be Hit': Iran Opens New Hormuz Front? Trump Ally In BIG DANGER | Watch
Iran has reportedly warned South Korean shipping company Sinokor that its vessels could face legal action over alleged repeated transit violations in the Strait of Hormuz. The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) says the measures will apply to Sinokor-owned vessels from November 1 and claims at least seven of the companys ships have already faced legal proceedings. A separate statement circulating alongside the warning also alleges that Sinokor vessels could face missile strikes, although this threat has not been independently verified. The development raises concerns about commercial shipping safety in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil and gas supplies. It remains unclear whether the November 1 deadline will lead to legal restrictions or further escalation.

Judge tosses new charges against ex-FBI officials in Hunter Biden case and criticizes DOJ
Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A federal judge on Tuesday tossed new obstruction charges the Justice Department filed against two former FBI agents accused of lying to Congress about an investigation into Hunter Biden. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia expressed anger at the federal prosecutors who filed the superseding complaint shortly after midnight Tuesday, CBS News reported. The complaints were unsworn and unsigned. We have never had complaints filed that are unsigned, Faruqui said. It is inappropriate. It harms the defendants. I am frustrated that I got it in the middle of the night. But I am much more concerned that it is filed on the public record. Former agents Nikki Flores, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants Friday that charged them with lying to Congress about their involvement in the Foreign Influence Task Force investigating the Biden family during the 2020 election cycle. They each faced one count of making a false statement. The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it's time to bring the hammer of justice down on them, Pirro said in a statement on X . When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation's security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold. Prosecutors filed the new complaint to the public court docket Tuesday, adding new charges of obstruction and attempted obstruction of a congressional proceeding. Faruqui said the complaint was never reviewed by him to determine if there was probable cause a crime was committed. He said filing a complaint without judicial review was unprecedented and caused him to question the Justice Department's motivations. The magistrate ordered the complaint to be struck from the record and said the Justice Department could try filing new charges using standard procedures. Everything you're doing is making me more and more concerned, Faruqui told federal prosecutors. Why today on this one case have you changed the entire history of how you charge cases? It makes it look like the United States is afraid of me trying to find probable cause. Federal prosecutor John Borchert said it was the first time he'd been aware of a criminal complaint being filed in this manner, as well. He said, though, that prosecutors are not afraid of a probable cause finding. In a court hearing Tuesday, a lawyer for Flores expressed outrage on behalf of the defense team about the unsigned criminal count added hours before the hearing. The evidence is mounting that this prosecution is about some political football and not the law or the facts in this case, attorney Mary Dohrmann said in court. What is going on at the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office? In the middle of the night, the government filed an unsigned and unsworn complaint attempting to fix the issues with their original charge against Ms. Flores and adding a new charge just as meritless as the first one the defense team said in a statement, according to CNBC . In our combined decades of DOJ service, we have never seen or even heard of something like this being filed. That's because the public lodging of criminal charges must be authorized by the grand jury, a judge, or the defendant herself. Here, the government has taken that power for itself in a desperate attempt to delay our client's right to challenge the charges in court and litigate this case in the media, rather than the courtroom.

Flavio Bolsonaro headed to the US after losing Brazil election, sources say
Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has left
Bolsonaro leaves Brazil for U.S. after presidential election loss, sources say
By Ricardo Brito and Gram Slattery SAO PAULO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro has left the country for the United States after losing Sunday's presidential election and refusing to comply with a Supreme Court order to hand over his passports, two sources said. The US Embassy in Brazil did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bolsonaro's lawyer also did not respond. It was not immediately clear where Bolsonaro was heading, what time he would arrive or whether he would seek asylum. US President Donald Trump's administration has previously alleged Flavio's father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, was a victim of judicial persecution in Brazil. Flavio's departure for the United States threatens to deepen a rift between the two most populous nations in the Americas. Leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has accused Washington of colluding with the Bolsonaros to put them back in power, and Reuters reported ahead of Sunday's election on a US State Department campaign to restore them to office. Trump made no mention of Bolsonaro's departure in comments to the press on Monday, but said the Brazilian vote looked like another rigged election. Lula's office did not respond to a request for comment. Bolsonaro was favored to win Sunday's presidential election but ended up losing in a shock result to Lula. On Monday, he was given 24 hours to surrender his passports as part of a money laundering probe in which he denies wrongdoing, but his documents were cancelled after the deadline lapsed, two other sources said. Bolsonaro, who loses his immunity from prosecution when his Senate term ends in February, said on Monday he had no plans to flee. I have never thought about leaving the country, he said. I will hand over my passports and defend myself against this travesty, which is a clear attempt to intimidate me. Brazil's Minister of Institutional Relations Jose Guimaraes commented on reports of Bolsonaro leaving the country in an interview with CNN Brasil. I have no confirmation from the Federal Police or oversight bodies, he told the news outlet. But this speaks a lot about our opponents lack of preparation to govern the country. FOLLOWING FATHER'S PATH Jair Bolsonaro also went to the United States after refusing to concede to Lula in 2022, when former US President Joe Biden was in office. He eventually returned to Brazil but was later given a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup after his supporters stormed government buildings in Brasilia. His son has yet to officially concede defeat saying on Sunday he would seek the annulment of the result over alleged voter irregularities but his Liberal Party said on Monday it acknowledged Lula's victory. It remains unclear how Bolsonaro was able to leave the country while he was facing a 24-hour deadline to hand over his passports. A senior Federal Police official said Bolsonaro had not exited the country via any regular migration point. Eduardo Bolsonaro, Bolsonaro's younger brother who lives in the United States, said ahead of the vote that an election loss would require a move. If my brother does not win, I'm in favor that he would leave the country, he told podcaster Steven Crowder this month.
