Super Mayor Predicts Her Own Trump-Style Re-Election Landslide Amid Village Financial Crisis
At a heated board meeting in Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard’s pick for police chief, Ronnie Burge Sr., was rejected by trustees, continuing a contentious battle over local leadership. Despite the rejection, Burge can serve in a temporary capacity for up to 30 days. Trustees voiced concerns over depleted village funds, revealing that basic supplies, like printer paper, are unaffordable, and voted to return luxury SUVs leased for Henyard’s use, costing over $374,000. Henyard, however, promised to veto this decision. Adding to the tension, a former Henyard aide publicly accused Trustee Andrew Holmes of misconduct during a taxpayer-funded Las Vegas trip, although no charges were filed. Undeterred, Henyard declared she would win reelection “in a landslide,” comparing herself to former President Trump. The meeting concluded with promises of a future town hall, leaving the community questioning Dolton’s leadership direction.

Trump Triumphs, Harris Falters, Democrats Recalled, GOP Secures Senate
Donald Trump has secured his place as the 47th President of the United States, marking a historic comeback following a contentious political journey. His decisive victory against Kamala Harris was bolstered by significant support from Americans disillusioned by the current state of the nation. Trump's campaign rhetoric focused on issues of high crime rates, economic struggles, and a commitment to "law and order," resonating particularly with conservative voters. His presidency promises sweeping changes, including plans for mass deportations, stricter control over media narratives, and a robust "America First" foreign policy that may alter longstanding alliances. Trump's leadership style—sharp, unapologetic, and loyalist-driven—signals a return to aggressive, hands-on governance aimed at countering what he and his supporters view as systemic issues perpetuated by Democratic leadership. As he prepares to assume office in January, the political landscape is poised for drastic changes under his administration.

🔴 Live Election Night Coverage | 7 pm ET | Nov. 5
The 2024 presidential election hinges on seven key swing states, each with significant electoral power and unique dynamics. Georgia and North Carolina, traditionally conservative strongholds, are vital for Trump, especially as Georgia’s Atlanta metro area leans increasingly Democratic. Arizona's Maricopa County, home to three out of five state voters, remains pivotal, swinging from Trump to Biden in 2020. In Michigan, Trump’s 2016 gains in rural areas make it ripe for a GOP comeback if Harris can't retain Biden’s 2020 support. Pennsylvania, the largest swing state in this group, is the ultimate tipping point for both parties, holding 19 electoral votes and a history of razor-thin margins. With Wisconsin and Nevada also intensely competitive, Republicans must mobilize voters across diverse demographics to counter growing urban Democratic strongholds and secure these decisive states.

Trustee Walks Out as Henyard Proposes Controversial $2.2 Million Tax Refund
At a heated Thornton Township Board meeting, Supervisor Tiffany Henyard faced opposition while pushing a 100% property tax refund for homeowners, a plan estimated to cost $2.2 million. With only two trustees present, Henyard succeeded in approving bill payments and employee insurance but faced a third trustee, Chris Gonzalez, who questioned her transparency about the refund proposal. Citing a lack of detail on its scope and implementation, Gonzalez moved to adjourn, leaving the meeting without a quorum. Henyard, also contending with an eviction case, dismissed the criticism, affirming her dedication to public service. Critics like her landlord allege Henyard’s actions reflect a broader disregard for accountability, stirring controversy among community members over her fiscal management and leadership style.

FBI Investigates Vancouver Ballot Box Arson as Hundreds of Ballots Burn
In an alarming act of vandalism, a Vancouver, WA ballot drop box was targeted in an arson attack early Monday morning, with hundreds of ballots potentially destroyed. The FBI has taken over the investigation, linking this incident to other recent arson cases in Portland and nearby regions. Smoke and flames were witnessed billowing from the Fisher’s Landing Transit Center drop box as police and explosive experts arrived to secure the scene. Authorities have also uncovered a suspicious device near the box, intensifying security concerns as Election Day nears. This arson, combined with a previous incident earlier this month, suggests a coordinated attack aimed at disrupting local voting processes. Law enforcement urges residents to report any information, while voters who used the impacted drop box are advised to contact Clark County Elections immediately to secure replacement ballots.

Mayor Tiffany Henyard Issues Arrest Threats Amid Growing Political Turmoil
Dolton, Illinois—Tiffany Henyard, the self-described “Super Mayor,” has sparked new controversy by threatening her political opponents with arrest during a recent Facebook Live broadcast. Henyard, also Township Supervisor, offered no clear evidence or charges but vowed to reveal details in the future. This follows a canceled township meeting over quorum and location disputes.
Henyard is under growing scrutiny, facing backlash over unfulfilled promises to expose corruption and recent legal troubles, including an eviction lawsuit against her and her boyfriend. Henyard’s lavish spending, funded by taxpayer dollars, has drawn FBI attention, and she’s losing control over local government, with key allies abandoning her.
The mayor’s leadership is deteriorating amid allegations of personal gain and questionable governance, raising concerns about accountability and taxpayer interests in the struggling town.

Court Rejects Dolton Mayor’s Attempt to Keep Village Meetings at City Hall
The political tug-of-war in Dolton persists as Mayor Tiffany Henyard's efforts to centralize village board meetings at Village Hall were thwarted by a court ruling. Henyard filed a lawsuit against several trustees, arguing that board meetings should take place at Village Hall. However, trustees pointed to a binding opinion from the Attorney General's Public Access Bureau, which recommended meetings be held in larger, more accessible venues. Residents had complained about the restricted space and barricades around Village Hall. A Cook County judge sided with the trustees, affirming that meetings must occur elsewhere. The court also dismissed Henyard's attempt to invalidate actions taken during an October 7 meeting. Although the judge expressed concern over Mayor Pro-Tem Jason House's actions, Henyard remains the elected official responsible for presiding over meetings.

Venezuelan Gang Targets Texas Schools: Middle Schoolers Recruited for Criminal Activities
A member of the Venezuelan gang "Tren de Aragua" has been arrested in Houston after attempting to recruit middle school students into a criminal network. Authorities identified Jorgenys Robertson Cova, a 32-year-old Venezuelan migrant with a criminal background, as the suspect. He allegedly targeted students at Jane Long Academy and Las Americas to participate in a large-scale shoplifting ring. Cova was reportedly seeking to exploit the legal system’s leniency toward minors, a tactic reminiscent of methods used by drug cartels.
Cova, who illegally entered the U.S. in 2022, has a history of theft and gang activity, which includes leading shoplifting crews across Texas and Arizona. This case has raised alarms about the growing influence of foreign gangs in the U.S., particularly amid concerns over the nation’s southern border security
This incident underscores broader concerns about the recruitment of minors by criminal organizations and the porous state of immigration enforcement.

Mayor Tiffany Henyard Files LAWSUIT Against Dolton Trustees Over Controversial Board Meeting
Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard has filed a lawsuit against several village trustees, the Dolton Park District, and village officials after a controversial board meeting. Henyard claims that these officials, including Village Clerk Alison Key and Village Administrator Keith Freeman, violated public meeting procedures. The lawsuit stems from an alternate meeting held by the trustees at the Dolton Park District while Henyard and other officials gathered at the Village Hall. The suit alleges that the trustees overstepped their authority by holding the unsanctioned meeting, where they passed ordinances without proper quorum or the mayor’s participation. Henyard argues the actions undermine village governance and seeks a court ruling to invalidate decisions made during the unauthorized meeting. This legal battle reflects deeper divisions in Dolton's local government and questions about transparency and proper procedure.

Nantucket in Crisis: Migrant Crime Surge Leaves Residents Fearing for Safety
Nantucket is experiencing a surge in migrant-related crime, sparking fear and concern among residents. Five illegal immigrants, linked to serious offenses, including child sex crimes and gang affiliation, were recently arrested by ICE. While the local community has historically embraced legal immigrants, especially those involved in seasonal tourism, this rise in criminal activity has many questioning the effects of the nation's open border policies. Long-time residents express discomfort and frustration, citing increased crime and a breakdown in local security. While some defend ICE's actions, others, especially illegal immigrants, are gripped by fear of deportation, even if they have no criminal record. As liberal Nantucket struggles to reconcile its progressive values with the realities of rising crime, residents are calling for stronger immigration enforcement to preserve the safety and charm of their island home.
