VIDEO UPDATE FROM JOE MILLER: Blacklisted Again, Restoring Liberty Fights On
UPDATE: We want to thank all of our loyal readers who have contributed so far! We’re at a little over 5% of our goal. If you have not contributed to this first fundraiser in two years, we would be incredibly grateful for any donation. You can donate HERE or HERE. We will apply your donations to accrued operating expenses first, and then to our future operations. Thank you for standing with us!
For over 20 years, Restoring Liberty has been your trusted source for fiercely independent, bold content, delivering truth that Big Tech and mainstream media often suppress. We were one of the first websites censored and demonetized by Google. Facebook killed our algorithm so no one would see our stories. And YouTube stripped us of revenue. All of this started over ten years ago because, apparently, our content is just too dangerous for you to read.
Incredibly, the attacks have continued. Most recently, our fundraising platform blacklisted us, halting donations for the past year. This has strained our ability to host our website and send you daily emails.
Despite the lack of funding, we’ve kept fighting. And now, we’ve partnered with GiveSendGo so you can help us in this fight. To donate at GiveSendGo, please click HERE. To use your credit/debit card or PayPal, please click HERE. If you prefer CashApp, our donation ID is $RestoringLiberty. If using Venmo, our donation ID is @RealRestoringLiberty. Finally, if you would prefer to donate by mail, please send your contributions to: Restoring Liberty, POB 83440, Fairbanks, AK 99708.
Your generous contribution, no matter the size, will keep our servers running, emails flowing, and bold content thriving into 2026 and beyond. We’re aiming for $25,000 to cover these essentials and continue our mission. Every dollar strengthens our fight for truth and free speech.
Donate HERE or HERE today and stand with us in Restoring Liberty’s 21st year!
Best Regards,
Joe Miller
Founder and President

House Republicans Want to Strip Zohran Mamdani of Citizenship, Possibly Deport NYC Mayoral Frontrunner Over Form Omissions
The first immigration case NYC mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani may have to confront if elected could be his own – as two House Republicans push the Justice Department to probe his path to citizenship and possibly boot him from the US.
Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) last week demanded the feds “review every naturalization of the past 30 years – starting with Mamdani.”
“I just think we need to take a hard look at how these folks became citizens, and if there is any fraud or any violation of the rules we need to denaturalize and deport,” Fine told the Post.
He also called for a probe of anti-Israel “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), who was born in Somalia and is one of the first two women Muslims to serve in Congress.
Mamdani is a threat to the nation, he continued. “I know that there’s a lot of us that are very, very concerned about the enemy within – people who have come to this country to become citizens, to destroy it.”
He dismissed logistical concerns about yanking the citizenship of naturalized Americans after they got elected to top jobs. “If they’re not Americans, they can’t be in office,” he said.

Republican Minn. Gov. Candidate Blasts Tim Walz on Election Integrity: ‘Fraud Capital of the Country’
Illegal migrants and other non-citizens in Minnesota could circumvent election law and vote simply by presenting a driver’s license on election day — though election officials stress that the practice is illegal.
Local leaders are waking up to the glaring problem with same-day registration voting, which is when a non-registered voter shows up on election day with a valid ID and casts a ballot.
State Representative Kristin Robbins, chair of state’s House Fraud Prevention Committee, is calling out Minnesota election officials and had harsh words for Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.
“Tim Walz has made Minnesota the fraud capital of the country and I have no confidence in his oversight of elections,” Robbins, a Republican candidate for governor, told The Post. “We got lots of election problems.”
Robbins raised the alarm at an Oct. 14 hearing in which she pressed state Elections Director Paul Linnell on the issue. (Read more from “Republican Minn. Gov. Candidate Blasts Tim Walz on Election Integrity: ‘Fraud Capital of the Country’” HERE)

Member Of Congress Reportedly In ‘Early Stages Of Dementia’ Scammed By Suspects Masquerading As Home Cleaning Crew
Longtime Democratic District of Columbia Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton was scammed by individuals claiming to work for an HVAC company, according to a police report describing the 88-year-old lawmaker as being in the “early stages of dementia.”
Norton, who has served as Washington’s nonvoting delegate to the House of Representatives since 1991, has repeatedly stated she is running for a 19th term in 2026 despite concerns over her age. Scammers came to the delegate’s residence Thursday afternoon and charged over $4,000 to her credit card for cleaning services they did not carry out, according to a police report obtained by NBC4 Washington.
The internal document reportedly described the incident’s “complainant” or victim as “Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC) 88 years old, Black Woman, suffers early stages of dementia.”
The Democrat personally allowed the group claiming to be HVAC personnel into her home in D.C.’s Southeast quadrant, according to the outlet. An unspecified amount of time later, a person identified on the report as Norton’s “caretaker/power of attorney” spotted the supposed cleaning crew on a doorbell camera.
That supposed caretaker, identified as Jaqueline Pelt on a separate public incident report, was reportedly not at the delegate’s residence when she first spotted the strange individuals on camera. Pelt then left to go there, realizing Norton’s card had been charged, after which she notified police, according to the outlet.

Kid Rock Shocks Jesse Watters Into Fit Of Laughter When He Reveals Halloween Costume
Singer Kid Rock sent Fox News host Jesse Watters into a fit of laughter during his Oct. 23 on-air interview after declaring he’s dressing as a “retard” for Halloween.
The two bantered back and forth about the political landscape in what appeared to be a typical conversation before the famous rocker changed the tone entirely. Kid Rock asked Watters what he planned to dress-up as for Halloween.
“So my whole family is doing Scooby-Doo. My son’s going to be Scooby-Doo,” the host replied, going on to explain what his costume would look like. Kid Rock then floored him with his bizarre costume idea.
After briefly discussing his family’s costume ideas, Waters said, “I’m Shaggy.”
“So, I’m gonna kind of dress like you — big, baggy clothes, I got long hair — just gonna have a little flask while I walk around …” Waters said as the the legendary singer laughed.
Kid Rock promptly pulled out a face mask, casually put it over his face and said “Guess what I’m gonna be — guess what I’m gonna be?” (Read more from “Kid Rock Shocks Jesse Watters Into Fit Of Laughter When He Reveals Halloween Costume” HERE)

NJ Cop Allegedly Ignored 911 Call About Double Murder-Suicide — and Went to ATM, Pizza Shop Instead
First responders typically run toward danger — but a New Jersey cop allegedly hit an ATM and then a pizza parlor instead of responding to a 911 call about what turned out to be a double murder-suicide, prosecutors said.
Franklin Township Police Sgt. Kevin Bollaro has been on administrative leave since Aug. 2, the day authorities found the bodies of veterinarian Lauren Semanchik, 33, and her new boyfriend, volunteer firefighter Tyler Webb, 29, inside her home.
Nearby, authorities found the remains of her 45-year-old ex, New Jersey State Police Lt. Ricardo Santos, who had killed himself.
Bollaro had been dispatched to investigate three 911 calls from Semanchik’s concerned neighbors, but never actually went to the home, Hunterdon County Prosecutor Renée M. Robeson said.
Instead, Bollaro “falsely stated in his report that he ‘checked the area along Upper Kingtown Road again and was unable to locate the source of the shots,’ and that he ‘cleared the scene after approximately 20 minutes,’” Robeson’s office alleged of the Aug. 1 incident.
Bollaro was outed by GPS data and surveillance footage that contradicted his account — and instead revealed his drive 1.5 miles in the opposite direction, to a TD Bank on Route 31 in Clinton Township, prosecutors said.

JD Vance Slams Zohran Mamdani for Making ‘His Auntie’ the ‘Real Victim of 9/11’
Vice President JD Vance criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, writing on X that according to the Democrat, “the real victim of 9/11” was his aunt.
Vance made the remark as early voting began Saturday in New York City, where Mamdani, the frontrunner in the race, is trying to fend off challengers Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.
“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt. Who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani said in a clip of a Friday campaign event that Vance shared.
“According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks,” Vance said.
Mamdani also said Friday that, “I want to speak to the Muslim who works for our city, whether they teach in our schools or walk the beat for the NYPD, New Yorkers who all make daily sacrifices for the city they call home, only to see their leaders spit in their face.” (Read more from “JD Vance Slams Zohran Mamdani for Making ‘His Auntie’ the ‘Real Victim of 9/11’” HERE)

Heart Health Tends to Slip at This Age — It’s a Lot Younger Than You’d Think
. . .Research shows most people’s cardiovascular health starts to decline before they’re even old enough to vote — yet few young Americans recognize the warning signs.
That means millions are missing a critical window to take action and protect themselves from heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US.
The condition is on the rise among adults under 40, with rates more than doubling since 2010.
But the problem often starts much earlier. By age 17, most people’s heart health scores — which consider lifestyle factors like diet and exercise, as well as clinical measures such as blood pressure and weight — have already begun to slip.
“I frequently care for people in their early 20s who are entering adulthood and are already facing serious cardiovascular risk factors such as elevated blood pressure, high blood sugar or a body mass index in the obesity range,” Dr. Jewel Scott, a primary care nurse practitioner, wrote in The Conversation.

Steve Bannon Claims ‘There’s a Plan’ to Secure Trump a Third Term
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has stirred a new political firestorm after suggesting that there is an active plan to help Donald Trump secure a third presidential term—a move that would directly challenge the 22nd Amendment.
In an interview with The Economist, Bannon boldly declared, “He’s gonna get a third term. Trump ’28—Trump is gonna be president ’28, so people just ought to get accommodated with that.”
When pressed by The Economist’s editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes about the constitutional limits, Bannon claimed there were “many different alternatives” to achieve it. “At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is,” he said. “But there’s a plan, and President Trump will be the president in ’28.”
Bannon, who has remained one of Trump’s most vocal allies since leaving the White House, framed the effort as a continuation of a divine mission. “The country needs him to be President of the United States. We have to finish what we started,” he told The Economist.
He described Trump as an “instrument of divine will”—noting that while the former president isn’t “churchy,” he still sees himself as chosen to lead the nation through what Bannon and many of Trump’s supporters view as a battle against the deep state.
Bannon’s claim echoes Trump’s own remarks. On multiple occasions, Trump has hinted at serving beyond the traditional two terms. In March, during an interview with NBC News, he said, “A lot of people want me to seek a third term. I’m focused on the current one, but there are methods which you could do it.”
When pressed about what those “methods” might entail—including a scenario in which Vice President JD Vance runs for president and later hands back the office—Trump responded, “That’s one, but there are others too.”
Constitutional experts quickly pushed back, warning that Trump allies may be exploring legal loopholes in the 22nd and 12th Amendments.
Laurence Tribe, a constitutional scholar and former Harvard Law professor, cautioned that the 22nd Amendment doesn’t technically bar someone from serving more than two terms—it only prohibits being elected to more than two.
“Anyone discounting a 3rd Trump term per the 22nd and 12th Amendments is thinking magically,” Tribe wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “The 22nd doesn’t bar serving a 3rd term, only being elected 3 times. The 12th doesn’t bar running for VP unless ‘ineligible’ to serve as President—but Trump isn’t ineligible. QED!”
