🟠 #BREAKING REBEL NEWS REPORTER AVI YEMENI HANDCUFFED AND REMOVED BY VICTORIA POLICE WHILE INTERVIEWING SCHOOLKIDS WHO SKIPPED CLASS TO PROTEST PAULINE HANSON IN MELBOURNE 🟠

Welcome to Communist Victoria, where asking questions in public gets you put in handcuffs while far left activists pull kids out of school under police protection.

While students walked out of class across Australia today to protest Pauline Hanson, including rallies in Sydney and Melbourne, Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini ended up in steel cuffs in Melbourne just for doing his job.

That is where Rebel News reporter Avi Yemini ended up in steel cuffs just for doing his job.

Yemini was walking through the crowd interviewing teenagers, asking a simple question: why had they ditched class on a Thursday afternoon to protest a democratically elected senator?

Victoria Police immediately moved in, slapped handcuffs on him, and marched him away from the rally for "disturbing the peace". Officers admitted he wasn't even under arrest, yet kept him cuffed anyway just to remove a journalist from the street.

Think about that, a reporter asking uncomfortable questions gets hauled away in restraints, while the far left organisers who dragged underage schoolkids onto the streets are shielded by the state.

Meanwhile, Pauline Hanson had already told the Sydney students to get back to class, pointing out that 51% of Australian 15 year olds fail to meet national standards in maths.

Far-left activists from CodePink and allied groups funded by communist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham spent years ambushing lawmakers on camera, cornering them with hostile questions and posting the footage as humiliation rituals on social media.

On Veterans Day, Fox News Digital turned the cameras on them for six hours as they lobbied Congress to slash the military budget and end U.S. ties with Israel. The result: they blocked the lens with keffiyehs and watermelon-print backpacks, refused every question, covered the camera with their hands, shoved a cafeteria chair into the reporter's path and unleashed a string of personal attacks. One activist called the reporter "a liar." Another told her to "buzz off." A BreakThrough News co-host called Fox News Digital "an absolute joke" and "state propagandists," then posted the confrontation online.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise fired back: "You just follow the money when you see who funds some of these groups that hate America. It tells you everything you need to know."

Are we living in a "Fourth Turning"?

The term was coined by William Strauss and Neil Howe who wrote the bestselling book, "The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy." They argued that history could be understood as coming in turnings, which have cycles of four. Each cycle spans a length longer than human life, roughly 80 to 100 years. That unit of time was what the ancients called the saeculum. These four turnings of the saeculum comprise the historical rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and destruction. The authors predicted that political, economic, and social upheavals would rattle the United States in and around the 2020s.

Three years ago, Neil Howe wrote The Fourth Turning Is Here. The title tells it all. We are in crisis as illustrated by a government that does not seem to function, low public trust in just about any institution, political polarization, moral and legal chaos, and a collapse of families. He reminds us of the Abraham Lincoln quote that “a house divided against itself cannot stand” and that the government “will become all one thing, or all the other.”

In his book, he reminds us of the other fourth turning crises in America. That would be World War II, the Civil War, and the American Revolution. Perhaps you can see why some social commentators argue that we are living in the fourth turning. We see a crisis in government and the economy. We see moral and social chaos.

 I think what we need more than anything is a true revival and a biblical reformation.

Do you think we're living in a "Fourth Turning"?

Indivisible wants congressional investigations to send a message to the next generation of “crappy little Heritage staffers.”

The major left-wing organizing group says it’s discussing investigations with Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia—and wants consequences that deter future staffers and corporate donors.

Quoting Garcia: “Lawyer up, folks, because if you committed crimes and you undermine the Constitution… you’re gonna need some legal support.”

They explicitly say the goal extends to FUTURE administrations.

[Anna Giaritelli @Anna_Giaritelli]

3,000 arrests per day was Stephen Miller’s quota for ICE as of May 2025. It’s never been hit, not even close. (FY2026 data reported by CBS today shows avg of 1,345 arrests per day.)

When Trump took office, ICE had 6,500 deportation officers. They hired between 10,000-12,000 on top of the 6,500, but we also know several thousand tenured employees have left ICE.

The way ICE goes after people has become more complicated under Trump because illegal immigrants have learned how to avoid them to an extent and because activists can get in the way or broadcast their location.

I went out with ICE pre-COVID and their goal was to find six specific criminals that day, and there were six ICE officers, and they ended up arresting I believe half of those people that day. The three found and three others who weren't found took them roughly seven, eight hours. and then they have non-ICE employees do the processing and booking.

So when you look at the numbers, say 16,000 ICE deportation officers, versus say 1 million illegal immigrants with criminal arrests, charges or convictions, it's just not plausible to arrest 3,000 per day given how much work it took to go after those 3 people. And now, you have far larger groups of ICE officers going out simply for security reasons of protecting officers.

David Pakman describes how people on the left are buying guns - in preparation to use against people "on the right."

Dave Chappelle says he feels better now that Charlie Kirk has been killed. Jennifer Welch jokes about digging him up to do it again.

It keeps getting worse.

Momentum for special session to limit emergency powers of the Texas Governor is growing… fast… announcement soon!…

[Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard]

A few starter ideas:

Swiftly and immediately deport the illegals who are putting insane pressure on the housing market and public services.

Restrict guest worker visas for the same reason. No more H1Bs. Close the loopholes: no more TPS and limit refugees. Return middle income jobs to Americans.

Fix the healthcare marketplace, Obamacare has made healthcare insanely unaffordable and mandates that families purchase wildly expensive coverage.

Stop printing money and devaluing the currency.

Stop rewarding outsourcing and prioritizing every multinational in the tax code. Corporate carve outs are not “the free market at work.”

End the Iran war and stop Middle East adventuring so truckers can afford diesel again.

Build more market rate, single family homes that are not designated low income. This and home building generally is a local policy issue not so much a fed issue.

To the extent that childcare subsidies already exist, extend them to family member care provided in the home. Make home daycares available again (mostly local issue).

🚨 JUST IN: Rep. Mary Miller and a group of House Republicans are pushing HARD to spend the next 52 days having Congress CODIFY President Trump executive orders on the border, DOGE and more.

@RepMaryMiller: "There are radical communists JUST OUTSIDE THIS ROOM who are determined to dismantle our nation, who even campaigned on that promise! We face a choice, secure our victories or wave the white flag to the radical left. Surrender is not an option!"

"We have less than 52 days, less than 60 days, remaining in this Congress to codify all of our victories, and there's NO excuse for wasting a single day."

"My colleagues and I are requesting bold action before this Congress adjourns."

[Mary Margaret Olohan @MaryMargOlohan]

A) This is incorrect. Every stand alone measure defending women's sports and spaces passed, including in CO and WA. One amendment (primarily focused on abortion but also protecting kids from trans procedures) failed in Missouri.

B) His use of the phrase "anti-trans" to describe these measures only emboldens his opponents fighting for women and kids

[Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard]

The inability of an older generation of the GOP to acknowledge how consolidation, housing scarcity, inflation, limitless immigration (legal and illegal), AI, and other factors have made it structurally harder for younger generations to get ahead is going to be a source of tension on the right for years to come.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll has found that nearly eight in ten Americans hold the Trump administration responsible for the rising cost of living, a result that could reshape the midterm elections.

￭ 78% of respondents blame the White House for higher prices, including 64% of Republicans, 76% of independents, and 95% of Democrats. 62% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy overall.

￭ 57% of Republicans say their living costs are rising faster than their paychecks. Two-thirds of all respondents said the same. Gas has hit $4.37 a gallon on average, up more than 40% from a year ago, while diesel is at $6.28.

￭ The war on Iran has stalled oil trade through the Strait of Hormuz, driving up energy prices globally. Tariffs on Canada and other trading partners have added further costs. Republican candidates in tight races, including Michigan Senate nominee Mike Rogers, are now publicly breaking with Trump and calling for an end to the trade war with Canada.

￭ Trump's economic approval is at historic lows. With the midterms weeks away, Republicans are defending vulnerable incumbents in districts where the cost of living is the top concern for voters.
