President Trump has rescheduled rallies that were previously canceled in Kansas and Iowa for this weekend. 

Trump announced on Thursday that he would no longer travel to the states and instead hold tele-rallies. But now, he’s doing back-to-back rallies in both states on Sunday.

“He’s doing very well,” Trump said, referring to Incumbent Kansas Senator Roger Marshall on Thursday.

“Rallies are BACK ON! President Trump loves his supporters, and in addition to nearly 20 tele-rallies, he will hold back-to-back rallies in Kansas and Iowa on Sunday. No one works harder, fights harder, or loves the American people more than President Donald J. Trump!” a source familiar said.

“The rallies were rearranged for scheduling purposes to accommodate dozens of additional tele-rallies that were recently added to the President’s schedule.”

This comes after Trump eviscerated a reporter who attacked him over his health and suggested on Thursday that he canceled the rallies because he’s “sick.”

“Oh, you’re sick to ask that question. You are sick! Who are you with?” Trump fired back.

“Look at this guy. He’s way out of shape… He comes to me, ‘Sir, you’re not going to go to Kansas,’” Trump added.

“You’ve been following me for two weeks. I feel perfect! You are disgusting. Put yourself in shape. You look like hell!”

The far-left Houston District Attorney’s Office on Friday charged an ICE agent who struck a Mexican illegal alien with his vehicle.

The federal agent, Mario Alberto Morales, was driving an unmarked vehicle when he struck a Mexican construction worker who stepped in front of the car earlier this month.

ICE said Morales was in pursuit of Parra Hernandez, who was fleeing on foot when he stepped in front of the vehicle.

Hernandez suffered a broken leg.

A grand jury indicted Morales on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Via The Associated Press:

A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer accused of intentionally ramming his car into a Mexican construction worker in Houston was charged Friday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, prosecutors said.

The Harris County District Attorney’s office says Mario Alberto Morales was behind the wheel of an unmarked black vehicle on Oct. 10 when it struck Miguel Parra Hernandez, 48, who was running away. Parra Hernandez was later placed in custody with a broken leg.

The case in Houston was brought by District Attorney Sean Teare, a Democrat, who is also investigating the fatal shooting of a Mexican homebuilder in July that set off protests in the nation’s fourth-largest city.

The far-left Houston DA is also investigating the fatal shooting of an illegal alien from Mexico who tried to run over an ICE agent in Houston, Texas, on July 7.

According to reports, ICE officers conducted a traffic stop around 6:50 am when the illegal alien, identified as Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, tried to evade law enforcement.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo rammed an ICE vehicle, refused to follow multiple verbal commands and attempted to run over an ICE agent before he was fatally shot.

The illegal was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has blocked a foreign-born Biden-appointed judge’s order that would have compelled Secretary of State Marco Rubio to reopen the controversial Diversity Visa lottery, allowing up to 55,000 green cards for foreigners from low-immigration countries in fiscal year 2027.

In a unanimous 3-0 ruling issued Thursday, October 29, a three-judge panel granted the Trump administration’s emergency stay of the preliminary injunction handed down by U.S. District Judge Jinsook Ohta of the Southern District of California, according to Bloomberg Law.

Ohta, born in Seoul, South Korea, and confirmed as a Biden appointee after prior service as a California state judge appointed by Gavin Newsom, had ordered Rubio’s State Department to announce registration details by midnight October 29, open the lottery by November 1 for a 30-day period, notify selectees by December 3, and process applications through the end of the fiscal year on September 30, 2027.

The appeals court panel, Judges M. Margaret McKeown (Clinton appointee), Holly Thomas (Biden appointee), and N. Randy Smith (George W. Bush appointee), explicitly declined to endorse the State Department’s decision to leave the program dormant.

“We do not endorse the Department’s failure to open the lottery registration period,” the per curiam order stated.

“Nevertheless, Red Eagle has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits because it is not within the zone of interests of the statute and does not have a cause of action. The emergency motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED.”

The court added that the Diversity Visa Program, created by the Immigration Act of 1990, “was enacted to encourage immigration, not generate revenue for law firms.”

The sole plaintiff was Red Eagle Law L.C., a California immigration firm that has represented past lottery selectees and relies on the program for a portion of its business.

Attorney Curtis Morrison, who has publicly updated followers on the case, previously indicated the firm would pursue additional litigation on behalf of a potential future entrant.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Ohta’s October 14 injunction forced the reopening of a program the Trump administration had effectively suspended after Portuguese national Claudio Manuel Neves Valente, who entered the United States through the 2017 Diversity Visa lottery and later obtained a green card, was identified as the suspect in the deadly Brown University shooting and the murder of an MIT professor.

Secretary Kristi Noem announced the pause at President Trump’s direction, stating that Valente “should never have been allowed in our country” and directing an immediate hold “to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program.”

The Gateway Pundit covered the suspension in December 2025, noting the program’s history of admitting individuals later tied to violence, including the 2017 New York City truck attack by Sayfullo Saipov, who entered via the same lottery.

The program, which draws millions of entries annually for a random selection process favoring applicants from regions with historically lower immigration rates (a large share from Africa), has long been criticized by conservatives as prioritizing “diversity” over merit, national security, and assimilation. Trump officials have previously labeled it a pathway that failed basic screening standards.

The Ninth Circuit’s stay means the State Department is not required to open registration by November 1 while the full appeal proceeds.

The panel ordered a briefing schedule for the merits of the preliminary injunction challenge. Secretary Rubio and the administration had offered no detailed public explanation for the non-opening of the 2027 registration window, which normally occurs in the fall prior to the fiscal year; the failure effectively canceled the cycle until Ohta intervened.

BREAKING: The 9th Circuit just FROZE a FOREIGN-BORN JUDGE’s order that would have forced Marco Rubio to reopen the Diversity Visa lottery for up to 55,000 foreigners in 2027

GREAT! Keep it that way!

A foreign judge had ordered State Dept. to start registration by November 1 for the program, which hands out up to 55,000 green cards a year by RANDOM drawing

It was an immigration LAW FIRM who sued that makes money representing lottery winners, and the court said the program was “enacted to encourage immigration, not generate revenue for law firms”

Congress should step in ASAP and END this program!

Keep pushing, Marco

Christa Pike released her first public statement since the botched execution last month.

Christa Pike, 50, was sentenced to death for a 1995 fatal stabbing, torture, and beating of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer.

Pike was transported back to prison earlier this month after she regained consciousness and began speaking several days after she survived two doses of pentobarbital.

On Wednesday, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signaled Christa Pike’s sentence will stay the same after the failed lethal injection attempt.

“As it related to a particular individual like Christa Pike and her crime, she’s still incarcerated under the laws of the State of Tennessee,” Governor Lee said. “I suspect her sentence will be the same as before unless determined otherwise by the courts.”

Christa Pike complained about being isolated in a statement dictated to her attorneys.

“There hasn’t been a moment since that night when I haven’t been in pain. My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts. I still struggle to speak,” Pike said in a written statement released on Friday. “And the pain isn’t just physical. There is pain in my mind and in my soul.”

“Since that night, I have been largely isolated in the prison’s medical ward, away from other people and the human connections that mean so much to me,” Pike said.

“That isolation brings its own kind of pain. I spent 28 years in solitary confinement and much of what I am experiencing today is a repeat of that condition,” she said.

“I had not contemplated life beyond that night and I’m deeply hurt by the incompetence that has put so many people in this terrible position,” Pike added.

Christa Pike breaks her silence one month after Tennessee’s failed lethal injection, saying she walked into the execution chamber on Sept. 30 “prepared to die” and never imagined surviving.

Pike, 50, who was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, received two doses of pentobarbital and was rushed to a hospital. Her attorneys at one point believed she was brain dead. She later regained consciousness, and now says she remains in constant physical and psychological pain, isolated in the prison’s medical ward.

Gov. Bill Lee has signaled her death sentence is unlikely to change, even as Pike’s legal team pushes for commutation to life without parole. Lee halted Tennessee’s remaining executions for the year and ordered an independent review of what went wrong.

Police say 23-year-old Zarian Dyer orchestrated an online plot to have a stranger sexually assault his fiancée inside their home while she was alone with their two young children.

The mother, identified as Bella Torres, fought off the attacker in a terrifying driveway struggle captured on home security video, and then chased him down the street as he fled.

According to the New York Post, citing the Buckeye Police Department, the attack unfolded around 6 p.m. on October 16 near Southern Avenue and Miller Road.

Torres was home with her 2-month-old son (asleep in a bedroom) and her 17-month-old daughter when 20-year-old Adrian Ayala of Goodyear showed up minutes after Dyer left to run an errand for groceries.

Court records and news accounts describe Ayala poking his head through the front door, asking to use the bathroom, then kicking the door open and forcing his way inside.

Once inside, Ayala allegedly grabbed Torres by the neck and began choking her. The struggle spilled into the bathroom, where he locked the door, tried to undo the button on her pants (unsuccessfully), and groped her, according to reports citing court documents.

Torres fought back fiercely, eventually dragging the attacker outside into the driveway. Home security footage shows her pushing him away, slapping him, and shouting as he pressed his weight into her.

During the fight, Ayala allegedly told her, “Your boyfriend told me you’d be into this.” Torres chased him down the street before he escaped. One of the children was also reportedly struck during the chaos.

Ayala was arrested the next day at his Goodyear home. He claimed he had met Dyer online, with some accounts specifying a Reddit agreement, and entered into a plan to sexually assault the fiancée. Detectives seized electronic devices from both men and uncovered communications about the planned attack.

Dyer was arrested Thursday morning (October 29) while at work near Roosevelt Street and Verrado Way.

He faces charges including aggravated assault, sexual abuse, attempted sexual assault, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Ayala faces related charges, including kidnapping, sexual abuse, burglary, and aggravated assault.

Police have said they do not yet know a motive for the alleged plot. Ayala’s attorney has described it as a “role-play scenario,” claiming his client believed he had consent because of what Dyer allegedly told him.

Torres previously told local media she did not know Ayala and did not believe her fiancé knew him either.
