Trump considering $2,000 rebates for Americans

 

President Trump said Thursday that he’s still weighing the idea of giving Americans up to $2,000 in rebates derived from the revenues his tariff agenda has generated. 

Trump’s proposal to share some of the hundreds of billions of dollars the federal government has collected since he slapped foreign nations with steep levies in April, comes as the Supreme Court is slated to hear arguments in a case next month that will decide whether the president has the power to impose sweeping global tariffs. 

“They’re just starting to kick in,” Trump said of the tariffs in an interview with One America News Network, “but ultimately, your tariffs are going to be over a trillion dollars a year.” 

What does he plan to do with the money? 

“Number one, we’re paying down debt,” Trump said, “because people have allowed the debt to go crazy.” 

The president then argued that the $37 trillion national debt is actually “very little, relatively speaking” because the government is now taking in unprecedented sums of money from tariffs. 

“With that being said, we’ll pay back debt, but we also might make a distribution to the people,” Trump continued. 

Trump described his plan, which he’s floated before, as “a dividend to the people of America.” 

“We’re thinking maybe $1,000 to $2,000 – it would be great,” the president said of the size of the checks Americans might get. 

Any disbursement from the federal government would require congressional approval.

The federal government has raked in about $214.9 billion in revenues from tariffs this year, according to Fox Business, citing data from the Treasury Department. 

The $31.3 billion in tariff revenue collected in September, however, was $73 million less than the August record. 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has repeatedly said that he expects the US to generate at least $300 billion in tariff revenue by the end of the year. 

In August, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that most of the president’s tariffs were not covered by an emergency powers law – a decision that followed two lower courts finding that most of the levies imposed on US trading partners were illegal. 

The appeals court allowed Trump’s tariffs to remain in place pending his administration’s appeal to the Supreme Court. 

The justices on the high court will hear oral arguments in the case in the first week of November.

Bessent warned the justices in a filing that the government could be forced to refund between $750 billion to $1 trillion in collected and projected tariff revenue if the Supreme Court finds the duties are illegal.

A guy with the name "Jihad" walks the streets of England for 35 years, and people wonder what happened!

 

British police have identified the suspect in the deadly Yom Kippur terror attack outside a Manchester shul as Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent.

Greater Manchester Police confirmed that Al-Shamie was shot dead by armed officers after ramming his car into a group of mispalelim outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in the Crumpsall neighborhood and stabbing at least one person. Two people were tragically killed and four others injured in the assault. One of the victims was reportedly the shul’s security guard.

“This is the day we hoped we would never see, but which deep down, we knew would come,” Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis said in a statement. He blamed what he called an “unrelenting wave of Jew hatred” across Britain — on the streets, on campuses, and online — for creating the environment that enabled such an attack.

Rabbis Mirvis praised Rabbi Daniel Walker, the rav of the shul, who was credited by witnesses with barricading the sanctuary doors and preventing the attacker from entering. “His courageous leadership, together with the resilience of his congregation, are an inspiration to us all,” Chief Rabbi Mirvis said.

“This is not only an assault on the Jewish community, but an attack on the very foundations of humanity and the values of compassion, dignity and respect which we all share,” Rabbi Mirvis added.

Soros Gave Over $80 Million to Terror-Linked Groups

 

Alan Skorski sat down with Ryan Mauro, an investigative researcher at the Capital Research Center, whose groundbreaking research exposed direct connections between George Soros, his Open Society Foundations, and Hamas-supporting groups in America.

Mauro originally broke the news during an interview with Glenn Beck, who for years has warned Americans about Soros’ dangerous ties to anti-Israel and anti-American movements.

In a 90-page report titled Exclusive: Soros’ Open Society Gave Terrorist and Pro-Terror Groups Over $80 Million, Mauro documents how since 2016, Soros’ Open Society—now operated alongside his son Alexander—funneled more than $80 million into extremist groups. According to Mauro, “The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in ‘direct actions’ the FBI defines as domestic terrorism.”

Israeli Navy intercepts Gaza flotilla, arrests activists

 



 The Israeli Navy on Wednesday evening began to intercept the Global Sumud Flotilla, which is attempting to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip, activists aboard the vessels claimed.

Footage posted to social media showed a Navy vessel near one of the boats. Al Jazeera reported that IDF troops had begun to arrest participants in the flotilla.

Later, the Foreign Ministry posted footage of environmental activist Greta Thunberg, who is taking part in this flotilla and was previously deported by Israel in June after taking part in another flotilla, the Madleen.

“Already several vessels of the Hamas-Sumud flotilla have been safely stopped and their passengers are being transferred to an Israeli port. Greta and her friends are safe and healthy,” it said.

So far, the takeover of the flotilla is proceeding without unusual incidents. Due to the size of the flotilla, approximately 50 vessels, the operation is expected to continue into the night and deep into Yom Kippur.

Earlier, the Israeli Navy issued a final call to the activists to change course.

Yom Kippur bloodshed: 2 Jews murdered in attack on Manchester synagogue


 Two Jews were murdered and three others were seriously injured today (Thursday) in a combined vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue in Manchester, England. The attack was committed on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

Local police reported that the attacker, initially suspected of wearing a suicide belt, was shot dead by responding officers.

Eyewitnesses said they saw a car speeding toward a gathering outside the building. After ramming into people, the driver exited the vehicle and began stabbing those nearby before being neutralized. The bomb disposal unit was called to the scene, and the police confirmed it was a terrorist attack, noting that two individuals were arrested.

Chava Levin, a local resident, told British media, "As soon as he got out of the car, he started stabbing anyone nearby. He approached the guard and tried to break into the synagogue." She added, "Someone blocked the door. Everyone was in complete shock." Later reports in the Daily Mail noted that the entrance was blocked by Rabbi Daniel Walker, who has led the synagogue since 2008. "Rabbi Walker was incredibly calm," Levin said. "He closed the doors and blocked the entrance. He’s a hero. It could have been much worse."

Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson thanks security staff and worshippers for their bravery in helping to prevent the attacker gaining access to the synagogue: "There were a large number of worshippers attending the synagogue at the time of this attack but thanks to the immediate bravery of security staff and the worshippers inside as well as the fast response of the police, the attacker was prevented from gaining access."

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the attack, stating he was "I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall. The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific. My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders."

Before departing for a flight, Starmer added, "We will do everything to ensure the safety of the Jewish community. Police presence will be increased around synagogues across the country."

King Charles also condemned the deadly attack, saying he was "deeply saddened and shocked to learn of the horrific attack in Manchester, especially on such a significant day for the Jewish community."

The Israeli Embassy in London denounced the attack as "heinous and very distressing," adding in a post on X: "We are in close contact with the Jewish community in Manchester to ensure they receive the necessary support."

Trump Issues Executive Order Vowing to Defend Qatar After Israeli Strike

 

President Donald Trump signed an executive order pledging that any attack on Qatar would be treated as a threat to U.S. security. The order, dated September 29, 2025, follows an Israeli airstrike in Doha that killed six people, including a Qatari security officer.

According to The New York Times, Trump was not informed in advance of the strike by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The order directs the U.S. to use diplomatic, economic, or military measures to defend both American and Qatari interests if Qatar is attacked.

The U.S. secretary of defense is tasked with maintaining contingency plans with Qatar to ensure a rapid response to foreign aggression. Qatar hosts the largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East.
