A range of independent TDs are contemplating the prospect of entering Ireland’s next coalition government as Fianna Fail and Fine Gael consider ways to secure a solid majority. Three long days of counting in the General Election finished late on Monday night when the final two seats were declared in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. Fianna Fail was the clear winner of the election, securing 48 of the Dail parliament’s 174 seats. Sinn Fein took 39 and Fine Gael 38. Labour and the Social Democrats both won 11 seats; People Before Profit-Solidarity took three; Aontu secured two; and the Green Party retained only one of its 12 seats. Independents and others accounted for 21 seats. The return of a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael-led coalition is now highly likely. However, their combined seat total of 86 leaves them just short of the 88 needed for a majority in the Dail. While the two centrist parties that have dominated Irish politics for a century could look to strike a deal with one of the Dail’s smaller centre-left parties, such as the Social Democrats or Labour, a more straightforward route to a majority could be achieved by securing the support of several independent TDs. For Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and current taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris, wooing like-minded independents would be likely to involve fewer policy concessions, and financial commitments, than would be required to convince another party to join the government benches. Longford-Westmeath independent TD Kevin “Boxer” Moran, who served in a Fine Gael-led minority government between 2017 and 2020, expressed his willingness to listen to offers to join the new coalition in Dublin. “Look, my door’s open,” he told RTE. “Someone knocks, I’m always there to open it.” Marian Harkin, an independent TD for Sligo-Leitrim, expressed her desire to participate in government as she noted that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were within “shouting distance” of an overall majority. “That means they will be looking for support, and I certainly will be one of those people who will be speaking to them and talking to them and negotiating with them, and I’m looking forward to doing that, because that was the reason that I ran in the first place,” she said. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats and Irish Labour Party both appear cautious about the prospect of an alliance with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. They will no doubt be mindful of the experience of the Green Party, the junior partner in the last mandate. The Greens experienced near wipeout in the election, retaining only one of their 12 seats. Sinn Fein appears to currently have no realistic route to government, given Fianna Fail and Fine Gael’s ongoing refusal to share power with the party. Despite the odds being stacked against her party, Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald contacted the leaders of the Social Democrats and Labour on Monday to discuss options. Earlier, Fianna Fail deputy leader and outgoing Finance Minister Jack Chambers predicted that a new coalition government would not be in place before Christmas. Mr Chambers said planned talks about forming an administration required “time and space” to ensure that any new government will be “coherent and stable”. After an inconclusive outcome to the 2020 election, it took five months for Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Greens to strike the last coalition deal. Mr Chambers said he did not believe it would take that long this time, as he noted the Covid-19 pandemic was a factor in 2020, but he also made clear it would not be a swift process. He said he agreed with analysis that there was no prospect of a deal before Christmas. “I don’t expect a government to be formed in mid-December, when the Dail is due to meet on December 18, probably a Ceann Comhairle (speaker) can be elected, and there’ll have to be time and space taken to make sure we can form a coherent, stable government,” he told RTE. “I don’t think it should take five months like it did the last time – Covid obviously complicated that. But I think all political parties need to take the time to see what’s possible and try and form a stable government for the Irish people.” Fine Gael minister of state Peter Burke said members of his parliamentary party would have to meet to consider their options before giving Mr Harris a mandate to negotiate a new programme for government with Fianna Fail. “It’s important that we have a strong, stable, viable government, whatever form that may be, to ensure that we can meet the challenges of our society, meet the challenges in terms of the economic changes that are potentially going to happen,” he told RTE. Despite being set to emerge with the most seats, it has not been all good news for Fianna Fail. The party’s outgoing Health Minister Stephen Donnelly became one of the biggest casualties of the election when he lost his seat in Wicklow in the early hours of Monday morning. Mr Donnelly was always predicted to face a fight in the constituency after boundary changes saw it reduced from five to four seats. If it is to be a reprise of the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael governing partnership of the last mandate, one of the major questions is around the position of taoiseach and whether the parties will once again take turns to hold the Irish premiership during the lifetime of the new government. The outcome in 2020 saw the parties enter a coalition on the basis that the holder of the premier position would be exchanged midway through the term. Fianna Fail leader Mr Martin took the role for the first half of the mandate, with Leo Varadkar taking over in December 2022. Current Fine Gael leader Mr Harris succeeded Mr Varadkar as taoiseach when he resigned from the role earlier this year. However, this time Fianna Fail has significantly increased its seat lead over Fine Gael, compared with the last election when there were only three seats between the parties. The size of the disparity in party numbers is likely to draw focus on the rotating taoiseach arrangement, raising questions as to whether it will be re-run in the next coalition and, if it is, on what terms. On Sunday, Simon Coveney, a former deputy leader of Fine Gael, said a coalition that did not repeat the rotating taoiseach arrangement in some fashion would be a “difficult proposition” for his party. Meanwhile, Fine Gael minister Paschal Donohoe said he would be making the case for Mr Harris to have another opportunity to serve as taoiseach. On Monday, Mr Chambers said while his party would expect to lead the government it would approach the issue of rotating the taoiseach’s role on the basis of “mutual respect” with Fine Gael. “I think the context of discussions and negotiations will be driven by mutual respect, and that’s the glue that will drive a programme for government and that’s the context in which we’ll engage,” he said. On Monday, Labour leader Ivana Bacik reiterated her party’s determination to forge an alliance with fellow centre-left parties with the intention of having a unified approach to the prospect of entering government. Asked if Labour was prepared to go into government with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael on its own, she told RTE: “No, not at this stage. We are absolutely not willing to do that. “We want to ensure there’s the largest number of TDs who share our vision and our values who want to deliver change on the same basis that we do.” The Social Democrats have been non-committal about any potential arrangement with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, and have restated a series of red lines they would need to achieve before considering taking a place in government. Leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a daughter on polling day on Friday, said in a statement: “The party is in a very strong position to play an important role in the next Dail. In what position, government or opposition, remains to be seen.” Fianna Fail secured the most first preference votes in Friday’s proportional representation election, taking 21.9% to Fine Gael’s 20.8%. Sinn Fein came in third on 19%. While Sinn Fein’s vote share represented a marked improvement on its disappointing showing in June’s local elections in Ireland, it is still significantly down on the 24.5% poll-topping share it secured in the 2020 general election. The final breakdown of first preferences also flipped the result of Friday night’s exit poll, which suggested Sinn Fein was in front on 21.1%, with Fine Gael on 21% and Fianna Fail on 19.5%.
WASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, . He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as . Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over . Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” John Ratcliffe, Trump's , was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.Massachusetts man charged with supporting Iran in drone strike that killed 3 U.S. service members

Get Me Out Of Here! viewers to vote for his wife to do a Bushtucker Trial as he feels she would want to “put herself to the test”. The former England footballer, 39, said he was “proud” of how Coleen was doing in the Australian jungle in a post on social media on Saturday. The couple, who first met at school and began dating aged 16, share four sons – Kai Wayne, Klay Anthony, Kit Joseph and Cass Mac. Proud of on she’s doing great ❤️ Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. If you can download the app and let’s get voting! 🗳️🕷️🐍 — Wayne Rooney (@WayneRooney) “Proud of @ColeenRoo on @imacelebrity she’s doing great”, he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a collage of photos of her on the show. “Me and the boys would love to see her doing a trial and we know she’d want to put herself to the test. “If you can download the #ImACeleb and let’s get voting!” At the end of Saturday’s episode, it was revealed Rooney would be taking on the next Bushtucker Trial alongside BBC Radio 1 presenter Dean McCullough. Your votes mean Coleen and Dean are about to have a trucking terrifying time when they face Absolute Carnage ⚠️ — I'm A Celebrity... (@imacelebrity) During the first task of the series, McCullough chose to partner up with TV personality Coleen as he hailed her as “Wagatha Christie”. Rooney, 38, was given the nickname when she accused Rebekah Vardy, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, of leaking her private information to The Sun in a viral post on social media. In July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”. During Vardy’s stint on I’m A Celebrity, she became the third celebrity to leave, saying the series helped her become more tolerant. Earlier this week, Liverpool-born Coleen told her fellow campmate that going to court over her feud with Vardy was her “worst nightmare” as she felt she was “putting on a show for the whole world”. However, she said she was not scared about making the viral post which kicked off the dispute, saying: “I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining.” Later in the episode, Rooney became emotional over the loss of her sister Rosie, after boxing star Barry McGuigan spoke about the death of his daughter.

According to a "state of credit card report" for 2025 from credit bureau Experian, 53% of Americans in a survey say they use digital wallets more frequently than traditional payment methods. To further incentivize mobile wallet usage, some credit card issuers offer bonus rewards when you elect to pay that way. But those incentives can go beyond just higher reward rates. In fact, mobile wallets in some ways are becoming an essential part of activating and holding a credit card. For example, they can offer immediate access to your credit line, and they can be easier and safer than paying with a physical card. From a rewards perspective, it can make a lot of sense to reach for your phone now instead of your physical card. The Apple Card offers its highest reward rates when you use it through the Apple Pay mobile wallet. Same goes for the PayPal Cashback Mastercard® when you use it to make purchases via the PayPal digital wallet. The Kroger grocery store giant has a co-branded credit card that earns the most when you pay using an eligible digital wallet, and some major credit cards with quarterly rotating bonus categories have a history of incentivizing digital wallet use. But again, these days it's not just about the rewards. Mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and PayPal can offer immediate access to your credit line while you wait for your physical card to arrive after approval. Indeed, most major issuers including Bank of America®, Capital One and Chase now offer instant virtual credit card numbers for eligible cards that can be used upon approval by adding them to a digital wallet. Additionally, many co-branded credit cards — those offered in partnership with another brand — commonly offer instant card access and can be used immediately on in-brand purchases. Credit cards typically take seven to 10 days to arrive after approval, so instant access to your credit line can be particularly useful if you need to make an urgent or unexpected purchase. Plus, they allow you to start spending toward a card’s sign-up bonus right away. As issuers push toward mobile payments, a growing number of merchants and businesses are similarly adopting the payment method. The percentage of U.S. businesses that used digital wallets increased to 62% in 2023, compared to 47% the previous year, according to a 2023 survey commissioned by the Federal Reserve Financial Services. Wider acceptance is potentially good news for the average American, who according to Experian has about four credit cards. While that won’t necessarily weigh down your wallet, it can be hard to manage multiple cards and rewards categories at once. Mobile wallets offer a more efficient way to store and organize all of your workhorse cards, while not having to carry around ones that you don't use often. They can also help you more easily monitor your spending and rewards, and some even track your orders' status and arrival time. Plus, paying with a digital wallet offers added security. That’s because it uses technology called tokenization when you pay, which masks your real credit card number and instead sends an encrypted "token" that’s unique to each payment. This is unlike swiping or dipping a physical card, during which your credit card number is more directly accessible. And again, because a mobile wallet doesn't require you to have your physical cards present, there's less chance of one falling out of your pocket or purse. The article Activating Your Credit Card? Don’t Skip the Mobile Wallet Step originally appeared on NerdWallet.

While SkyTrain line extension projects often take the spotlight, the essential infrastructure that keeps Metro Vancouver’s growing rail rapid transit network running tends to go unnoticed in the public eye. Currently, the operational needs of SkyTrain’s Expo Line and Millennium Line are primarily served by the OMC1 operations and maintenance facility in the Edmonds area of Burnaby. Built as a part of the original Expo Line in the 1980s, OMC1 provides the vast majority of the operations, maintenance, and train storage capacity for the Expo and Millennium lines. In 2021, TransLink began site preparation early works on a . The size of this facility and its importance is comparable to OMC1 in Edmonds. Construction is now well underway on OMC4 at the 27-acre industrial property at 225 North Road, which is situated immediately adjacent to the Expo Line and just northwest of Braid Station. When complete in 2027, OMC4 will be ready just in time for the mass arrival of the majority of the — serving as the replacement of the aging Mark I car fleet, general increased capacity for the Expo and Millennium lines, and the additional fleet required for both the Millennium Line’s Broadway extension and Expo Line’s Surrey-Langley extension, opening in 2027 and 2029, respectively. OMC 4 will have an initial storage and maintenance capacity of 145 cars, which can be expanded to an ultimate capacity of 170 cars. Some upgrades are also being performed to OMC1 to accommodate this new fleet. However, OMC4’s latest projected costs have escalated significantly, making it TransLink’s most expensive maintenance facility project by a wide margin. As of December 2024, OMC4’s total construction cost is now pegged at $1.299 billion. In contrast, the entire 2016-built Evergreen extension of the Millennium Line — which included the small satellite OMC3 facility for mainly overnight train storage needs — cost $1.4 billion ($1.75 billion when adjusted to 2024 dollars). OMC4’s costs have fluctuated and escalated drastically from its previous preliminary estimates of $658 million in 2021, $816 million in 2022, and $764 million in 2023, before seeing a 70% year-over-year jump for 2024. TransLink told Daily Hive Urbanized that the latest cost estimate for OMC4 is primarily due to the market inflation of materials, labour, and equipment prices, and the changing scope of the facility’s design during the planning process. The public transit authority notes that steel material prices alone have gone up by 65% over the last 18 months, and there is now additional uncertainty due to potential steel tariffs. One example of a scope change is the complete redesign of the train maintenance bays, which are now sunken into the floor to enable more effective maintenance of the new Mark V trains. Other reasons TransLink cited for the cost escalation include delays in getting third-party permits approved, and higher-than-anticipated construction bids for the facility’s buildings and track works. There are also future plans to build the new additional OMC5 — another significant operations and maintenance facility on a scale similar to OMC1 and OMC4. As previously reported by Daily Hive Urbanized, previously designated for agricultural uses, situated at the southeast corner of the intersection of Fraser Highway and 176 Street (Pacific Highway) — just east of the Serpentine River in North Cloverdale. It will be attached to the Expo Line’s Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension, but built as a separate project closely timed with the extension. Recent procurement guides estimate the , and the latest updated cost for OMC4 suggests this likelihood. Combined, OMC4 and OMC5 will likely have a combined cost well north of $2 billion. Not only will both OMC4 and OMC5 facilities significantly increase capacity, but they are also expected to elevate the operational and maintenance performance standards of the SkyTrain network. “This points to the evolution of BCRTC from being a single node company — the node is here at OMC1 in Edmonds — to being a multi-node company. This is one of our big transformations with the future OMC4 in Coquitlam and OMC5 in the South of the Fraser. We’ll begin to have different centres of operations where we can be much more nimble in our response to any issues that show up on the line,” said Sany Zein, the president and general manager of TransLink’s BC Rapid Transit Company, during an . “We extended the Expo Line to Surrey in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we built the Millennium Line, and we built the Evergreen Extension, but we never thought anything more about maintenance facilities, except for OMC3 as a small facility near Inlet Centre Station in Coquitlam. OMC2 in Edmonds was built to assemble trains.” Zein deemed the future OMC4 to be their “catch-up depot” that should have been built when the Expo Line was expanded in the 1990s, especially after the opening of the Millennium Line in 2002 and its Evergreen Extension in 2016. Another notable SkyTrain operations project that has seen a major cost escalation is , which is now in an advanced stage of construction for a 2026 completion. This new control centre facility is being built at OMC2, which is adjacent to OMC1 in Edmonds. When operational, the new control centre will replace the 1980s-built control centre at OMC1, which is under-sized for the ever-expanding network of the Expo and Millennium lines and lacks the latest modern technology for such a critical facility. The new control centre building will now cost $327 million — up from the based on an early design concept. It then escalated to $300 million in 2022 and $327 million in 2023, with no further cost escalation as of December 2024. Explaining the unique circumstances for the new control centre building’s cost growth, in addition to the market escalation in construction materials, labour, and equipment prices, TransLink states there have also been big increases for the facility’s high-tech equipment, machinery, and software, which supports the major data centre. Since 2021, market prices in Canada have risen by 16% for computers and peripherals, 62% for power distribution and equipment, and 36% for thermal regulation equipment. Furthermore, the average cost escalation for data centre construction increased by 42% globally since 2021, with 9% from 2024 alone. The public transit authority also told Daily Hive Urbanized the tripling of the new control centre building’s cost is also due in part to the project absorbing the costs of other SkyTrain infrastructure improvement projects, including an automatic train control signals project, fibre optic upgrades, security perimeter and guardhouse project, and a parking lot reconfiguration for the OMC2 site. Separately, costs have also escalated for the Expo Line’s Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension. In , the provincial government announced the project’s total cost had risen by 50% from $4 billion to $6 billion, following the finalization of the project’s three major contract awards. Construction is also expected to begin this winter for completion and opening by late 2029, which is a year later than originally anticipated. Costs have also escalated for the project of building the , which will be TransLink’s first new facility to handle a mass fleet of battery-electric buses. Four years earlier, during the early design stage, the project’s cost was pegged at $308 million. As of December 2024, with construction now well underway, the costs have nearly tripled to $848 million. All of this reflects a consistent pattern of public sector projects planned before the sharp inflationary trend beginning in 2022, experiencing significant cost escalations — whether it be for new transportation infrastructure, sewage treatment plants, hospitals, community and recreational centres, schools, and public housing, Following the to design and build the project, the provincial government has yet to release an updated cost figure to build the new replacement immersed tunnel for the George Massey Tunnel. The project’s current early design budget of $4.15 billion, created in 2020/2021, is not expected to hold. Construction is currently underway on the new Cloverdale Hospital in Surrey. In , the provincial government announced the hospital project’s cost had ballooned by nearly 75%, with the project now carrying a price tag of $2.88 billion — up from the early design estimated figure of $1.66 billion in 2021. As an example of cost overruns on the municipal level, in , the City of Burnaby cancelled the original design concept for the new Burnaby Lake Recreation Complex, which featured a destination-sized aquatic centre and ice rink. However, due to the project’s cost escalation to $340 million — nearly twice the budget of $187 million — the City downsized the scope and calibre of the architecture, bringing down the cost to $253 million.Chinese parliament chief visits AthensNone

Indo-German Chamber of Commerce hosts 58th annual regional meetArmed Arizona man 'threatened to kill Donald Trump and his family' in series of unhinged videos Manuel Tamayo-Torres posted videos brandishing high-powered weapons CLICK HERE: Sign up for DailyMail.com's daily U.S. politics newsletter Follow DailyMail.com's politics live blog for all the latest news and updates By JON MICHAEL RAASCH, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Published: 19:32 GMT, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 19:36 GMT, 27 November 2024 e-mail 1 View comments An Arizona man has been arrested after posting numerous videos online brandishing rifles, shotguns and a high-capacity AR-15 while threatening to kill Donald Trump and his children. Manuel Tamayo-Torres posted 'numerous lengthy videos' on Facebook threatening Trump and his family and even attended one of the president-elect's rallies in Arizona, court documents show. 'You're gonna die, your son's gonna die,' Tamayo-Torres said in a scary video posted Thursday. 'Your whole family is going to die.' 'This is reality for you now. This is the only reality you have in your future, dying,' the clip continued. 'Secret Service, FBI , CIA and the military are all defenseless.' Tamayo-Torres was charged with making threats against the president-elect, who is referred to as 'Individual 1' in the court filings. In another video Tamayo-Torres threatens to shoot Trump before holding up 'what appears to be a white AR-15 style rifle with a 30-round magazine inserted into it,' according to officials. The officials also describe in the court filings how the Arizona man made threats 'on a near-daily basis.' Almost everyday Tamayo-Torres posted videos 'where he talks about [Individual 1] and his family kidnapping and sex-trafficking his children.' An Arizona man was arrested for making threats to kill Donald Trump and his family Manuel Tamayo-Torres, who made repeated threats on Trump and his family, was at Trump's August 23 rally in Glendale Arizona, court documents reveal Tamayo-Torres said he witnessed the president-elect and the Secret Service 'kidnap his daughter' at the Glendale rally Even more shockingly, Tamayo-Torres even appeared at a Trump campaign rally in August. A video from August 23 shows Tamayo-Torres at a Trump campaign rally at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. In the video the man claims he 'observed [Individual 1] and Secret Service kidnap his daughter there.' Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) officials claim they discovered images on Facebook showing Tamayo-Torres holding a verified arsenal of weaponry. He brandished an AR-15, a rifle and a shotgun in one video, ATF officials claim in the court documents. Tamayo-Torres was arrested in California after videos showed him around the San Diego area, though the charges were filed in Arizona. This is just one of the latest threats made against the president-elect in what has been a tumultuous year for his personal safety. While visiting a section of the U.S.-Mexico border wall in Arizona in August, DailyMail.com tipped off Trump that another Arizona man who had made death threats against the Republican was on the loose. Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump tours the southern border with Mexico, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, in Sierra Vista, Arizona Ronald Lee Syvrud, 66, is being sought by Arizona authorities in connection with an alleged assassination plot on Donald Trump Trump thanked DailyMail.com for letting him know, saying 'Thank you for telling me.' Then with a chuckle he said: ' Let's get out of here right now!' It was a surprisingly chipper response just over a month after the first attempt on his life. Notoriously Trump was shot in the ear during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks struck the president and several others, killing father Corey Comperatore as he shielded his family from incoming fire. Crooks was killed by Secret Service shortly after opening fire with an AR-15. The horrific rally prompted a review of the Secret Service, and soon thereafter its ex-director, Kimberly Chealte, resigned after getting ridiculed by Democrats and Republicans in Congress for the innumerable security failures that day. Again on September 15 Trump was targeted by another would-be assassin. Secret Service counter snipers keep watch during a campaign rally with Donald Trump Ryan Wesley Routh following his arrest in Martin County, Florida, on September 15. The gunman accused of planning to kill Donald Trump at his Florida golf course was indicted September 24, 2024 on three additional counts, including attempted assassination of a major presidential candidate Ryan Routh, 58, hid in the hedges near Trump's West Palm Beach golf course Trump International with an AK-47 and cameras before fleeing after being fired upon by Secret Service. Routh is currently being held in a federal detention center in Miami. Earlier this month, the Justice Department announced charges in an alleged Iranian plot to try to kill Trump.
