Trump Plan to Designate Antifa, KKK as ‘Terrorist Organizations’

President Donald Trump is slated to announce a measure that designates far-left movement Antifa and the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) as terrorist organizations, calling for lynching to be made a federal hate crime. According to a copy of Trump’s speech, he will provide details about his plan for Black America, including a pledge to access capital in black communities by about $500 billion. The move is likely an attempt for Trump to further try and peel away black voters’ support from Democratic nominee Joe Biden. “For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken black voters for granted. They made you big promises before every election—and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,” said a copy of Trump’s speech, reported Fox News. “The…

Biden, Harris Pay Their Respects to Late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate on Friday paid their respects to late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Ginsburg was lying in state in the National Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol.

Biden and his wife, Jill Biden, held hands as they walked to Ginsburg’s casket to pay their respects. Biden made the sign of the cross as he stood looking at the casket.

The Bidens then departed.

Biden told reporters after exiting the capitol that he first met Ginsburg when he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee when she was nominated for the nation’s highest court in 1993.

“I was the chairman of the committee and she was confirmed. Wonderful memories,” he said.

Biden was leaving the capitol about 90 minutes after arriving. He was heading back to his home in Wilmington, Delaware, while his wife went to Maine to attend campaign events.

Biden didn’t campaign on Thursday, a growing trend for the 77-year-old, who is trying to unseat President Donald Trump.

While in Washington, Biden spoke briefly to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), his running mate.

Harris, asked if she was concerned about Trump potentially not accepting the results of the upcoming election, told reporters: “Today I’m just really thinking about RBG. I really am.”

“It’s very important, I think, that in the midst of being 39 days away from the election that we honor one of the greatest Americans, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, in terms of all that she inspired, all that she empowered, both legally and just in terms of the way she lived her life,” she added later.

Trump, 74, and first lady Melania Trump paid their respects to Ginsburg on Thursday while her casket was at the Supreme Court, also in Washington.

The president said after he learned of Ginsburg’s death on Sept. 18 that he was sad to hear the news.

She led an amazing life,” he said.

Trump was participating in a Latinos for Trump roundtable in Doral, Florida, on Friday morning before departing for events in Washington, Atlanta, Georgia, and Newport News, Virginia.

NYPD Spying Case a ‘Wake-Up Call’ About Chinese Infiltration in US, Local Tibetans Say

NEW YORK—The arrest of an NYPD officer for allegedly spying on local Tibetans for Beijing should serve as a “wake-up call” for U.S. officials about the depth of Chinese espionage in the country, local Tibetan activists said. Baimadajie Angwang, an ethnic Tibetan and naturalized U.S. citizen, had worked at the NYPD’s 111th Precinct in Queens, and is also an Army reservist holding a “secret” security clearance. The 33-year-old was arrested on Sept. 19 on four charges, including acting as an illegal Chinese agent, and faces up to 55 years prison if convicted. Angwang’s arrest was hardly a surprise to the ethnic Tibetans in New York City who had prior contact with him. The Tibetan Community of New York and New Jersey (TCNYNJ), a New York-based nonprofit established in 1979, said…
