When you see the video below, you will understand why. Zacharia is as sharp as a knife and obviously understands what the country is facing if far left Democrats return to power.
We all knew that Karoline Leavitt was going to be extremely difficult to replace, but Zacharia will do just fine.
As RedState shared earlier, the White House has announced President Trump’s pick for the new Press Secretary in place of Karoline Leavitt, and her name is Katie Zacharia.
We wrote that she is no stranger to the White House, as one of her previous roles was as a spokesperson at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
My colleague Teri Christoph also wrote that “Zacharia recently left DHS after a short stint in the agency’s communications shop and returned to the worlds of media commentary and advocacy,” while adding that “…she appeared alongside our own Jennifer Van Laar on an episode of The Sean Spicer Show not too long ago…” More on that in a minute.
Now, our sister site Townhall has just unveiled a stupendous supercut video showing Katie Zacharia in action – on everything from how big a failure Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom has been for California – and that he would be even worse for the country, to a spot-on slam of Kamala Harris’ lack of support during the 2024 election, and more.
Now check out this highlight reel. It’s amazing.
Meet Katie Zacharia, who’s reportedly been offered the job of Trump’s next Press Secretary.
On Democrats: “Weak, whiny, woke, and they’re now broke.”
President Trump Weighs In on Pentagon’s Decision to Livestream Execution of Fort Hood Islamist Terrorist Nidal Hasan
October 10, 2026

President Donald Trump has weighed in on the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan, saying he understands the decision to make it public so it can serve as an example.
Hasan, who infamously walked onto the Fort Hood military base in Texas back in November 2009 shouting “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire, slaughtering 13 innocent American heroes and wounding dozens of others, is finally facing the ultimate penalty.
When asked about the groundbreaking decision to make the military execution completely public via a livestream, President Trump didn’t mince words about the sheer brutality of Hasan’s crimes and the necessity of setting a firm example.
Trump: “They want to do that because they want to set an example. I wasn’t involved in that decision, but I understand the decision. He went in and killed 14 people; he badly, badly wounded 22 people — walked into a room, just started firing at everybody, screaming things that he shouldn’t be screaming. I guess they want to have it serve as an example, and I understand that very well.”

President Donald Trump is backing the decision by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon to livestream the upcoming firing squad execution of radical Islamist mass murderer and former Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan. https://t.co/ircH6slfC4
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Thursday that Hasan would be executed publicly by a U.S. Army firing squad.
During an interview with conservative commentator Jack Posobiec, Hegseth made clear that the military wanted Americans to witness the consequences of committing such a horrific act of terrorism against American soldiers.
Hegseth explained that the execution would be public so that Americans could understand the serious consequences of such crimes.
The Pentagon subsequently confirmed that the execution would be livestreamed.
And when Posobiec asked whether the convicted terrorist had made any final requests, Hegseth delivered a response that left little room for sympathy.
“Don’t care,” Hegseth responded.
“We’ll see him on December 3rd.”
The execution is scheduled for 1 p.m. Central Time, approximately the same time of day that Hasan launched his November 2009 attack.
BUSTED! Far-Left ABC News Caught Spreading Defamatory Lies About Trump’s Sons — Then Quietly Deletes Fake News Hit Piece Without Issuing a Retraction or Apology
October 10, 2026

The Corporate Fake News Media has reached a brand-new, shameful low, and this time, Disney-owned ABC News needs to be sued straight into bankruptcy.
On Wednesday, the radical hacks at ABC News published a completely fabricated, malicious hit piece targeting Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.
The mainstream media propaganda outlet falsely claimed that the Trump brothers’ conservative venture capital firm, 1789 Capital, had taken a massive, multi-billion dollar stake in the defense technology company Anduril.
On Wednesday, October 7, ABC published a story under the headline “Trump sons’ investments have won billions in Pentagon contracts since his election.”
The hit piece claimed that 1789 Capital, the venture firm where Donald Trump Jr. is one of six partners, had taken a “major stake” in defense tech company Anduril out of a $2.5 billion funding round.
It further asserted that Anduril went on to score more than $6 billion in lucrative Pentagon contracts directly tied to this investment, including a massive new shipyard deal, implying pay-to-play favoritism under the Trump administration.
“The company is one of the largest manufacturers to receive an investment from Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump, but they are not the only one,” according to the now-deleted article.
“An ABC News analysis found defense companies backed by the president’s sons, including Anduril, have now raked in more than $6 billion dollars in active or promised government contracts since those investments were made, according to the government’s official contract reporting,” the outlet said.
Naturally, the Far-Left smear machine immediately went into overdrive. Radical California Governor Gavin Newsom and a army of unhinged Democrats quickly weaponized ABC’s outright lies, pushing the viral hit piece across social media to frame the First Family.

There was just one giant problem for ABC News: The numbers were wrong.
Anduril founder Palmer Luckey, the entrepreneur who created Oculus and later built one of America’s fastest-growing defense companies specializing in autonomous drones and AI military systems, said Anduril gave the ABC reporter the correct figures before publication.
Luckey stated that 1789 Capital invested $50 million, not a controlling or “major” stake, in a company now valued at more than $60 billion. That is roughly one one-thousandth of Anduril. He also explained that most of the $6 billion figure consisted of contract ceilings (the maximum the government is authorized to spend), not money actually committed or paid out. These facts would have gutted the story’s premise.
ABC’s editors reviewed the piece, made only a minor edit, and stood by the reporting. Then the page disappeared. No correction note. No explanation. The link went dead.
Brian Stelter and other media figures later cited a source claiming the story was “published prematurely.” Luckey rejected that as a cover story. He described a timeline in which Anduril immediately contacted ABC, the network refused meaningful corrections, editors insisted the claims were accurate, the author went quiet (and reportedly deleted his X account), and the story was wiped without explanation. Luckey called it a coordinated influence operation rather than an innocent CMS error.
Luckey wrote on X:
ABC News continues to lie, this time privately to their friends in the press. This was a coordinated influence operation planted by our competition, not “premature publication”.
7:01 AM October 7th, story goes live. Within minutes, dozens of high-profile commentators, politicians, and news outlets are sharing it with tens of millions of followers. We immediately contact ABC and demand they correct their false claims – after multiple rounds of refusal, they finally make a single one-word grammar edit. The editors stand by the reporting and insist the false claims are true.
Finally, eight hours after I was forced to call them out publicly, they delete everything. The editors hide all the comments, the author deletes his X account, and the story is completely wiped from their website without any explanation, directly violating SPJ ethics standards and ABC’s own internal rules.
ABC is currently running a coverup operation, ignoring all of our requests for correction/retraction while telling their buddies to spread the word that this was nothing more than a CMS publication timeline error.
Late Wednesday, 1789 Capital spokeswoman Alexa Henning replied to former Wall Street executive Amy Siskind’s X post sharing the report, saying, “This post shows you have literally zero financial literacy. 1789 Capital does not have a ‘major stake’ in Anduril. It’s false to say Vulcan, Firehawk, and PsiQuantum are ‘backed by Don Jr and Eric Trump.’”
Vulcan Elements, Firehawk Aerospace, and PsiQuantum that Henning referred to were other companies mentioned in the ABC News report.
“Here’s a small lesson, that I also explained to ABC, the ‘reporter’ who is a complete idiot conflated raising funds with investment by 1789. Those are two separate actions. Meaning the ‘investments’ mentioned were actually the total number raised for a funding round, that MANY companies contribute to,” Henning continued.
“Another thing that the reporter buried the lead on was that many of these companies have gotten government contracts during Biden AND Trump, which completely negates the assertion by ABC that Don Jr and Eric Trump are doing anything wrong. Total biased hit piece that is not being regurgitated by dumb trolls on the internet.”
Donald Trump Jr. publicly noted the deletion, telling Newsom the article lasted “about as long as your presidential campaign would last.”
ABC deleted this article in less than 24 hours because it’s false. Sounds about as long as your presidential campaign would last.
On Friday, ABC posted a revised version under a softer headline about the new Maryland shipyard project and “earlier Democratic concerns about potential conflicts of interest.”
An editor’s note admits the original “contained errors in the description of certain company investments, government contracts and event chronologies.”
The corrected article now states that 1789 invested $50 million as part of the larger round, that this represented a relatively small stake in the $60-billion-plus company, and that Trump Jr. is not on the three-person committee that makes investment decisions. It also notes that Anduril and other firms have won contracts across administrations.
The story, which was originally bylined by Nathan Lee, now has a “By ABC NEWS” byline https://t.co/J0TbinMUNi
People are now openly calling for ABC to be sued. On X and elsewhere, users are urging Palmer Luckey, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and 1789 Capital to take legal action and hold the network accountable for the false claims that were amplified before the quiet deletion.
Anti-Police Commie Democrat Is Shoved to Ground After Attacking NYPD at Anti-ICE Protest – Then Goes on CNN and Plays Victim Like a True Communist (VIDEO)
October 10, 2026
Commie Democrat Darializa Avila Chevalier was pushed to the ground during an anti-ICE protest in New York City. She blamed the police.
Another Democrat winner who will soon be causing chaos in Washington DC…
Commie Democrat Darializa Avila Chevalier was pushed to the ground by police officers on Thursday during a violent anti-ICE protest in New York City.
Darializa was seen screaming at police and getting in their face.
Of course, she claimed she was innocent as a flower.
She discussed this alleged “abuse” on CNN on Friday. She pretends to be so innocent but you can see her rushing police and getting in their faces – like a true communist.
She admitted that she has been to several anti-ICE protests.
Watch the video below and then count the lies by Darializa that are highlighted.
CNN Host Erin Burnett: So I want to talk about ICE. I want to talk about the shooting. I want to begin with the video, though, that I just showed. It captures the chaos of that moment in the Bronx last night. People are pushing. People are shoving. Some police officers are pushed to the ground. And then you are shoved to the pavement by a police officer. So can you tell me exactly what happened in that moment?
Darializa Avila Chevalier: At that point in the evening, we had already, you know, left the scene where the incident had occurred. Where Oscar Belgal (violent illegal alien gang member) had been shot, where, you know, so many families were traumatized by the incident with ICE.
And we were outside of the hospital, standing with protesters. And before I even arrived, I could see from a distance that, you know, there was police already pushing people aside to make room for a law enforcement vehicle that was unmarked.
The only reason I knew it was a law enforcement vehicle was because of the lights, that, you know, These NYPD officers were pushing people aside to make way for that vehicle.
I don’t know who was in that vehicle. I don’t know whether it was ICE or whether, you know, Oscar himself was in that vehicle. But what I do know was what I saw and the kind of conduct that I saw the NYPD engaging in. When I was trying to de-escalate the situation, as police were putting up barricades, which were completely unnecessary, you know, they were pushing people to make space for the barricades and were getting in tug-of-wars with people. escalating the situation every moment.
And when I would try to reason with them to, you know, de-escalate the situation, to create a safer space for people to express their rightful outrage at what was happening, you know, they continued to just simply escalate to the point where, you know, myself and others were pushed to the ground. And it was just a very all-around concerning situation. And for me, as someone who is not new to protests, as someone who is not new to these— this kind of chaos, this was particularly alarming. I have never been thrown to the ground. I have been arrested 3 times in protest, and not once have I been slammed to the ground by a police officer.
What a perfect communist to represent New York City in the halls of Congress! Darializa earlier said she was excited to bring “black socialism” to Congress.
God help us!
100% of MAGA voters approve of President Donald John Trump!
CNN’s Harry Enton breaks liberal hearts with his latest set of Trump approval numbers.
Here is the transcript from CNN:
Harry Enten: MAGA GOP view of Trump: approve 100%. 100%. If you are a member of MAGA and the GOP, you approve of Donald John Trump. 0% say that they disapprove. You don’t have to be a mathematical genius to know you can’t go higher than 100%. He is the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Now, there are some Republicans who disapprove of Donald John Trump, but they are not members of the Make America Great Again movement. The bottom line is this: if you are a member of MAGA, you approve of Donald Trump.
But, some people never learn.
According to Newsmax, FOX News is reportedly turning away from President Trump prior to the midterm elections.
This comes from CNN’s “media analyst” Brian Stelter, who apparently still draws a paycheck from the leftist outlet.
Stelter is certain that FOX News is abandoning Trump because GOP candidates are fretting over President Trump hurting their chances in the election.
Of course, that is insane. Any Republican running for office today would be wise to tie themselves to America’s most legendary president alive today.
Stelter noted that Fox largely bypassed five recent Trump rallies, including an event in San Antonio, Texas.
According to Stelter, the decision carries enormous political consequences for Trump, who has repeatedly demonstrated his frustration when the conservative network declines to broadcast his speeches.
“For Trump, it’s like being deprived of oxygen,” Stelter wrote.
Stelter suggested Fox executives may believe the president has become a political liability, particularly as his approval ratings decline and Republicans worry about maintaining congressional control.
“Perhaps the Murdochs believe the network’s opinion hosts are better messengers for the party than the president himself,” Stelter wrote.
FOX News is quickly losing trust from its most devoted audience base, the MAGA voters.
This mistake will only hurt FOX News. Donald Trump will be fine.
Tony Shaffer weighs in.
Fox News is CNN lite…
We do everything we can to fairly cover @realDonaldTrump and provide real news on @NEWSMAX – just leave Fox News now…
HOW CURIOUS: Thousands of People Signed Up for Event Featuring Hasan Piker at UT-Austin But Only 300 Showed Up
October 10, 2026
Screencap of Twitter/X video.
A recent event was set up at the University of Texas at Austin which featured far left, communist influencer Hasan Piker.
Thousands of people signed up to attend the event, but when the day came, only 300 people showed up.
What’s going on here? Were people on the left trying to inflate his numbers to make him look more popular than he really is? How else can this be explained?
Thousands signed up for Hasan Piker UT Austin event, only 300 attended
Left-wing political streamer Hasan Piker drew roughly 300 people to a highly publicized event at the University of Texas at Austin despite more than 2,400 people previously signing up or joining a waitlist.
Piker appeared at UT Austin on Sept. 30 at an event hosted by the university’s College Democrats chapter. The Austin American-Statesmanreported that the event attracted about 300 attendees to the William C. Powers Jr. Student Activity Center, which has a capacity of roughly 460 people.
At least two rows of seats remained empty, according to the newspaper.
An X post from DSA Watch also highlighted the disparity between the number of people who RSVP’d to attend and the crowd that ultimately showed up.
Benjamin Shrader, president of the Austin Young Republicans, helped organize a coalition of conservative groups that protested outside the event.
In an exclusive interview, Shrader told Campus Reform that he first learned of Piker’s visit through an Eventbrite notification and subsequently contacted the Texas College Republicans, UT College Republicans, High School Conservatives of America, Reawaken USA, Young Americans for Liberty, and other organizations.
“I see a lot of people complaining about this, but I don’t see anybody taking action,” Shrader said. “When nobody else is doing something, you’ve got to do something.”
Shrader said the protesters deliberately did not seek to prevent Piker from speaking.
“We made no move to cancel the event,” Shrader told Campus Reform. “We believe in Hasan Piker’s right to say his crazy stuff, and we believe that it’s critically important that our voices were heard as well.”
Look at the empty seats.
