Chinese hackers recently targeted the phones of Donald Trump and JD Vance. The FBI and other officials had previously confirmed that Iran hacked Trump’s campaign. Three Iranians were charged with that crime. The hackers sent information to Biden’s team. Some of it was leaked, and the only person it helped was Harris.

Actress Gina Carano took the stage in Las Vegas to talk to supporters of former President Donald Trump and explained why it’s important to “speak even if your voice shakes.” During the Turning Point Action rally on Thursday for Trump, Carano started out her speech pointing to celebrities who say they will leave the country if Trump wins the election and said, regardless of who wins on November 5, she will stay and fight for America. She said she suspects those celebrities will end up leaving the country, too, if Vice President Kamala Harris wins, once the Democrats have “installed a government” that “seeks to destroy us.” “I’m an actress who got my start professional fighting right here in your mixed martial arts gyms in Las Vegas. … I’d rather be being punched in the face than giving a speech right now, but I’m doing this for America,’ Carano said. “I’m doing this because this election is so important, it’s so valuable,” she added. “I didn’t actually start voting until 2020, and I realized that, my gosh, there was such a prejudice here. I was voting for who I thought was the best candidate, and that was Donald Trump, and that still is Donald Trump.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “I was targeted, discriminated against, shamed, and fired from one of the most powerful entertainment companies in the world [Disney],” Carano continued. “They fired me at the height of my career. … I mean, they’ve gone out of the way to make an example out of me. But I think by the grace of God, he’s helping me make an example out of them. I’m currently suing Disney with Elon Musk’s and X’s backing.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by G I N A J?Y C A R A N O (@ginajcarano) Later, she called on Trump supporters in Nevada to get out and vote and make the election an “overwhelming majority vote for Donald Trump.” “I want to encourage you to never give up,” the actress explained. “Cast your vote. This is our first and most important step toward saving America. It is the healthiest act. It is the right thing to do so we do not look back and say we didn’t go through the motions of the best possible outcome.” “Don’t get cocky — we’ve seen how easily votes can change in the middle of election night,” she added. “Make this election overwhelmingly obvious. I truly hope this is the start of the great awakening.” Later, in a post on Instagram, Carano wrote about “electric night” and said, “Speak even if your voice shakes…Thank you for the beautiful reception today. All my love! Keep voting, don’t let up. Make it overwhelming. The time is now. Glory to God.” The star of the DailyWire+ film “Terror on the Prairie” filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Disney and Luscasfilm after she was fired from the “Star Wars” spinoff series “The Mandalorian” over what it deemed “offensive” social media posts. The trial is scheduled to begin on September 29, 2025. Related: Gina Carano Celebrates After Disney Loses Effort To Stall Her Suit

Israel has started its long-expected military response to Iran’s missile barrage at the start of the month as massive explosions have been seen and felt throughout Iran’s capital city of Tehran and nearby Karaj. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the strikes against Iranian military targets in a statement, saying that they were in direct response to the “months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel.” “The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th – on seven fronts – including direct attacks from Iranian soil,” the statement added. “Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized. We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel.” The airstrikes appear to have hit multiple locations throughout Tehran, including the eastern, western, and southern parts of the city, according to The New York Times. In the east, there are military bases and secretive military sites, and in the west is the headquarters for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the report said. The Times added that explosions also were happening near Imam Khomeini international airport, which is in the southern part of the city. The strikes come in response to the Islamic regime firing approximately 180 ballistic missiles into Israel at the start of the month, which sent the entire country running for bomb shelters. Current and former Israeli officials had said for weeks that the country’s response to Iran would include a significant military response that would be deadly. Israel reportedly told Iran prior to their ballistic attack that if any missiles hit Israeli territory — regardless of whether anyone was hurt or there was damage to any infrastructure — Israel would respond by targeting sensitive facilities inside Iran. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Iran launched the missile attack on Israel in response to Israel terminating the leaders of two Iranian-backed terrorist organizations, Hezbollah’s Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas’ Ismail Haniyeh. Nasrallah was killed in an airstrike in southern Lebanon at the end of September after a year of Hezbollah firing thousands of missiles, rockets, and drones into Israel, which displaced tens of thousands of civilians. Haniyeh was killed at the end of July in Tehran by a bomb that was planted inside his room at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) facility where he was staying. Israel has decimated both Islamic terrorist groups over the last year following Hamas’ unprecedented October 7 terrorist attack in which 1,200 people were murdered inside Israel, 5,000+ were injured, and hundreds were taken hostage. Israel also killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in southern Gaza last week when a tank opened fire on a structure that the terrorist was hiding in. Recent intelligence released by Israeli officials showed that Iran knew about Hamas’ October 7 terrorist attack at least several months before it was executed. The New York Times obtained minutes of 10 secret meetings that Hamas held that included Sinwar and his top commanders. The Israeli military discovered the documents on a computer in January 2024 as they searched an underground command center in Khan Younis. “Members of and experts close to Hamas” confirmed to the Times that the documents were legitimate and authentic, the report said. The Washington Post reported that other documents from Hamas showed that the terrorist group had even deadlier plans for its attack on Israel. Hamas’ plans were based on more than 17,000 photographs of Israel that were taken from satellites, drones, and social media postings. Hamas planned attacks at additional Israeli military facilities, Ben Gurion International Airport, a 70-story skyscraper, and “the Azrieli Center complex which comprises three skyscrapers, a large shopping mall, train station and cinema.” The terrorist group searched for ways to destroy the skyscraper, hoping to replicate, on a smaller scale, Al-Qaeda’s September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the U.S. Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has publicly claimed that Iran had nothing to do with the attack and was not aware of its planing. However, documents obtained by the various publications also debunk this false claim. It has already been established that hundreds of Hamas terrorists received “specialized combat training” inside Iran from the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF) in the months leading up to October 7. Iran sent Hamas at least $10 million, the documents state. But Sinwar wanted more and launched a “vigorous appeal” directly to Khamenei, requesting $500 million over the course of two years and training for 12,000 Hamas terrorists. “Iran trained Hamas and encouraged them to do exactly the things they did on Oct. 7,” said Farzin Nadimi, an Iran expert and senior fellow with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “Their goal was to get to the core of the Israeli state and crush it.” Hamas was ready to carry out the attack in July 2022, but decided to postpone it. The documents do not state why the attack was postponed, but based on details included in the notes, it is believed to be because they were trying to enlist support from Hezbollah and Iran. However, the terrorist group did not want to wait too long to launch the attack because Israel was on the verge of deploying a new laser defense weapon to shoot down rockets and missiles, the report said. Sinwar’s deputy, Khalil al-Hayya, discussed the attack in the summer of 2023 with senior IRGC commander Mohammed Said Izadi and asked for Iran’s help with striking sensitive Israeli military sites within the “first hour” of the attack, the report said. Izadi said that Iran supported the plan, but needed time “to prepare the environment.” While Iran did not conduct military strikes against Israel that day, it is not known, at least publicly, whether they provided any kind of logistical, surveillance, or other type of assistance to fulfill Hamas’ request for support during the first hour of the attack. It is clear, however, that Iran knew about the attack well in advance of the massacre. The Wall Street Journal reported that some of the documents dated back to 2019, when Qassem Soleimani was still the head of the IRGC-QF. Soleimani told Hamas that they had few allies in the region and that even Turkey, which likes Hamas, couldn’t provide “a single bullet” to the terror group. “The reality,” Soleimani said, “is that there is no one but Iran.” This is a breaking news story; refresh the page for updates. 

Alec Baldwin has won another victory in court after a New Mexico judge denied the state’s motion in the “Rust” case to reconsider the dismissal of the involuntary manslaughter charge against him. On Thursday, New Mexico Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer filed her judgment that the prosecutors’ arguments have already been presented and said they provided nothing new that would warrant reconsidering her prior decision to dismiss the charges against Baldwin, the Associated Press reported. “Because the state’s amended motion raises arguments previously made, and arguments that the state elected not to raise earlier, the court does not find the amended motion well taken,” the judge wrote, adding that the request was also untimely (outside the time frame for appeal). Earlier this year, Baldwin was charged with involuntary manslaughter. He faced up to 18 months in prison, as previously reported. However, the charges were dismissed on the third day of his trial in July, with the judge ruling prosecution hid evidence from the defense. A judge on Friday refused to reopen the manslaughter case against Alec Baldwin, standing by her earlier decision to throw out the charge due to withheld evidence.https://t.co/q0WIdAZK3A — Variety (@Variety) October 25, 2024 The charges stem from an incident on the New Mexico film set of Baldwin’s movie “Rust,” on October 21, 2021, when Baldwin began filming a scene and the gun he was holding fired a live round that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured the film’s director, Joel Souza. Baldwin repeatedly maintained that there was “no trigger pull.” Following the decision Thursday, the special prosecutor in the case, Kari Morrissey, told the AP she would be appealing the latest ruling, disagreeing with the judge. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 In January, a grand jury indicted the “Saturday Night Live” star for involuntary manslaughter. Two special prosecutors, Morrissey and Jason Lewis, presented their case to the grand jury after receiving further analysis about the gun used, Variety noted. Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, released a statement at the time that said, “We look forward to our day in court.” In January 2023, the Santa Fe County District Attorney’s Office charged Baldwin with two counts of involuntary manslaughter following Hutchins’ death. The charges were dismissed without prejudice in April after the actor’s legal team claimed the gun had been modified in some way which caused it to malfunction, the Associated Press noted. Prosecutors made clear at the time, “This decision does not absolve Mr. Baldwin of criminal culpability and charges may be refiled.” In April, the film’s weapons supervisor, 26-year-old Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Hutchins. In September, Sommer rejected Gutierrez-Reed’s request to dismiss her conviction or have a new trial following the dismissal of charges against Baldwin, the AP noted.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement for Team Harris/Walz. The Democratic ticket is struggling to coax men to vote Democrat on November 5. All the farcical hunting trips and faux-tough rockers can’t sell half the population on Vice President Kamala Harris. And let’s not get started on that macho men for Harris ad. John Wayne never crossed his legs the way that one actor does in the spot. The Democrats would be better off watching the following movies to get pointers on Manhood 101. “Shane” (1953) Hulton Archive/Getty Images It’s OK to tear up during the Western’s final moments. Honest. Up until then, director George Stevens’ film showcases why masculinity matters. Alan Ladd plays the title character, a retired gunslinger who decides to help ranchers at the mercy of a local thug. Shane wants to put killing behind him, but getting to know the Starrett clan changes those plans. Decent people deserve someone who can protect them. Their survival comes first. Shane memorably teaches young Joey Starrett (Brandon deWilde) how to use a gun and wrestles a massive tree trunk with the Starrett patriarch in another iconic scene. He even feels a romantic tug for Mrs. Starrett (Jean Arthur) but knows not to break up their nuclear family. The final gunfight remains a thing of beauty all these years later, a testament to cool under fire. “Jaws” (1975) English actor Robert Shaw (1927 – 1978) as Quint, viewed through a set of shark jaws, in a publicity still for ‘Jaws’, directed by Steven Spielberg, 1975. (Photo by Silver Screen Collection/Getty Images) The ultimate shark thriller doubles as a treatise on masculinity. The three male characters capture the shades of the modern man. Roy Scheider’s Sheriff Brody is a calm, cool and committed leader. He also knows when he’s out of his depth. He pushes past his fear of the water to stop a shark from snacking on more Amity beach dwellers. Quint, memorably played by Robert Shaw, is the ultimate Alpha Male. Richard Dreyfuss’s scholarly Matt Hooper looks like a “Revenge of the Nerds” castoff, but he proves his mettle when it counts. He’s also not afraid to show fear in the face of what seems like insurmountable odds. One of the film’s best lines? Hooper struggles to clean his diving mask seconds before he descends into the steel cage for an up close and personal look at the shark. “I’ve got no spit,” he confesses, capturing both fear and resilience. He’s still going down to confront the shark. That’s what a man does. “Rocky” (1976) Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, Lou Fillipo and Burgess Meredith in “Rocky” 1976. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios. Rocky Balboa could have lived down to everyone’s expectations. Sylvester Stallone’s character wasn’t bright, nor was he born with anything resembling a silver spoon in his mouth. He was a journeyman fighter granted a chance to make something of himself. That’s assuming he can last a few rounds with the great Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers). Stay down, Rocky. No one expects you to win. Rocky won’t quit. He screws up his courage, trains harder than he’s ever trained before and manages to woo a shy pet shop clerk named Adrian (Talia Shire) along the way. “Ain’t gonna be no rematch,” Creed grunts late in the fight, knowing Rocky will never quit. There’s a reason Stallone remains a star at 78. Fans love his aspirational characters, none more than the Italian Stallion. Rocky represents a puncher’s chance, the notion that anyone in America can corral their destiny with hard work, hustle and an indomitable spirit. “Predator” (1987) Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shane Black, Jesse Ventura, Carl Weathers, Bill Duke, Richard Chaves, Sonny Landham. “Predator”. 1987. 20th Century Fox. Lawrence Gordon Productions. Silver Pictures. Photo by Sunset Boulevard/Corbis via Getty Images You may never see more unchecked testosterone in a feature film. Arnold Schwarzenegger leads this manly ensemble, a war picture that takes a Sci-Fi turn when the title creatures appears. Co-stars Jesse Ventura, Bill Duke, Carl Weathers and Sonny Landham tear down half the jungle trying to swat their invisible foe. Only Schwarzenegger’s character lives long enough for the battle royale. Muscle. Sweat. Blood. It’s the perfect ‘80s action movie in a decade loaded with over-the-top male heroes. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “Die Hard” (1988) Bruce Willis as John McClane in “Die Hard.” 20th Century Fox. Gordon Company. Silver Pictures. 1988. Sure, it’s a Christmas movie, but beneath the yuletide tinsel lies a tribute to a father and husband. Det. John McClane (Bruce Willis) gets the worst Christmas present possible – a gang of Eurotrash thieves overtakes Nakatomi Plaza on December 24. McClane’s ex (Bonnie Bedelia) is among the hostages, and he’ll stop at nothing to save her. He’ll walk barefoot over broken glass and stare down one of Hollywood’s most memorable villains, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). He’s got the heart of a champion, showcased in four increasingly diminished sequels. He also knows when it’s best to use a wisecrack to keep the enemy off balance. Willis lacked the cartoonish physique of Stallone and Schwarzenegger, the ‘80s defining action stars. He made do with a wife-beater T-shirt and a never-say-die spirit. “Road House” (1989) “Be nice. If he won’t walk, walk him. But be nice.” Patrick Swayze’s James Dalton can crack skulls with the best of him. The bouncer would rather de-escalate a bar fight than pour gasoline on its flames. Masculinity can evoke restraint, too. Dalton could take on a roomful of drunks, but being a man means knowing when violence is the very last resort. Being a man also means treating a lady right. Dalton proves he’s aces on that front, too, while courting his lovely physician (Kelly Lynch). * * * Christian Toto is an award-winning journalist, movie critic and editor of HollywoodInToto.com.
