No integrity at all from coach Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youseff. Both coach Kaze and Khalil have started speaking against the same things they gladly accepted while at Kaizer Chiefs. No backbone, you start to understand that they don't operate with principles, they chase immediate opportunities no matter what its worth. Listening to Khalil speak now, it's clear that success was always going to be difficult under his guidance with Kaze. He openly admits he never liked the co-coaching arrangement, questioning the football logic behind management's decision to implement it. He points out that top clubs rarely operate that way and laughs at this. He started by highlighting how decisions can become difficult to make when you don't agree but each strongly believes in his own approach. He later mentions that they had disagreement with substitutions with Kaze, an area we always looked like a team without a coach. Yet, the contradiction is that he was willing to accept the role and become part of the very structure he now criticizes. The same applies to coach Kaze. Today, he confidently speaks about the unrealistic expectations management had given the quality of the squad[reaching CAFCL spot]. But he, too, accepted the position that became available after his head coach was removed with this mandate without hesitation. The Kaizer Chiefs management and their inconsistency in decision-making have played a major role in the club's struggles over the years. These interviews and many more, keep revealing this. Khalil and Kaze got the job because they were an easy excuse to get rid of a coach who demanded better from those who have power to change things at the club. They did not get the job because they were good enough. That's why they now laugh at the demands and arrangements they had to face at the club. This is what happens when a club looks for shortcuts instead of establishing a clear football structure and supports its own decisions. The unfortunate reality is that Kaizer Chiefs' management continues to avoid accountability in such situations, rather direct the poor performance to someone else. Even after years of disappointing performances, they still seem unwilling to recognize that many of the club's problems originate from the decisions made in the boardroom rather than on the pitch.

Inside Kaizer Chiefs' Second-Half Tactical Dominance๐Ÿ“ Kaizer Chiefs produced a far more balanced and purposeful attacking display in the second half. There was greater tactical flexibility in their movement, improved intensity in and out of possession, and better decision-making in the final third. The constant rotation of positions made it difficult for Kruger United to maintain their defensive shape, creating more space and allowing Chiefs to attack with greater fluency and control. A far more dynamic display in attack with Vilakazi mostly receiving inside that wide. โ–  Chiefs showed patient but purposeful ball circulation, refusing to force attacks but moving the ball a bit quicker than usual. There were quick passing sequences, one-touch combinations and improved third-man movements which manipulated Kruger's defensive block, creating spaces to penetrate in the half-spaces and from both flanks. We made it difficult for them to break out and progress when we decided to press. โ–  Ethan Chislett was the tactical heartbeat in the 10 role. He freely roamed across the final 3rd, creating overloads between the lines and dragging defenders out of position. His pressing was good, contributed directly to the sequences that led to both goals. His movement allowed both Baartman (LW) and Vilakazi (RW) to invert into central pockets without sacrificing width. โ–  The chemistry between Chislett, Baartman and Vilakazi created constant positional rotations that made Chiefs unpredictable. As Kruger narrowed to protect central spaces, Monyane and Frosler aggressively attacked the wide channels, stretching the defensive block while remaining tactically disciplined after offensive actions. You'll see Frosler moving into a more inverted role when Monyane pushes to cross and vice versa. โ–  Despite committing numbers forward, Chiefs remained structurally balanced. I was impressed with the aggressive counter-press which saw the team recover possession very quickly, preventing Kruger from transitioning and also it allowed us to sustain relentless attacking momentum. The goals came from continued attacking momentum, and good ball circulation. โ–  The team built attacking moments on controlled possession, repeated ball circulation and well balanced off-the-ball movement rather than individual brilliance. Every ball recovery immediately initiated another attacking phase, pinning Kruger United deep until the pressure eventually produced the goals that sealed the victory. This team delivered an impressive performance despite being without key talents like Asanele Velebayi, Mduduzi Shabalala, and new signing Langelihle Phili. โ–  The depth, structure, and quality on display should give Kaizer Chiefs supporters plenty of encouragement. Kaizer Chiefs of coach Fernando Da Cruz...๐Ÿ“

Possession vs Progression: Patience or Lack of Ideas? Is Kaizer Chiefs showing more patience on the ball, or a lack of ideas to penetrate defensive blocks? Kaizer Chiefs were more comfortable in possession and better organised against Sekhukhune than against Golden Arrows over the weekend, but the key question was whether this represented patient control or a lack of attacking invention. Chiefs kept the ball but rarely broke lines. Circulation was often safe and predictable, with few passes between the lines, limited rotations in the final third and little movement behind the defence. Possession, therefore, did not consistently translate into clear chances. This also exposed structural and personnel issues in build-up. When we build in a 4-2 and the opposition blocks passing lanes to Maboe and Ox, progression becomes difficult. The fullbacks are not consistently high, while we lack enough quality from the back to play through pressure and connect with Baartman or Ighodaro moving into the half-spaces or behind pressure. These are passes a player like Aden McCarthy used to provide more naturally, but we often resort to long balls with poor accuracy. Midfield control is another concern. Ox made more passes into the final third[14] than Maboe, despite Maboe playing as the 8. We need the 8 to be more influential in these areas, helping control the flow and connect midfield with attack. Ox was effective at winning the ball and playing forward, but that responsibility cannot fall primarily on him given his technical flaws once the expectations rise. Sekhukhune's passive press gave Chiefs comfort on the ball, but it also highlighted how dependent our possession can be on the opponent's approach. We can circulate when unpressured, but still struggle to play through a well-organised press. Ighodaro is another example: he often drops too deep to get involved, yet when he makes runs behind the defence, he is not consistently found even when the space is available..we lacked players brave enough to play "that pass". We also rely too heavily on low-probability long shots instead of getting the ball into the box for players such as Silva, Ighodaro and Duba. Final-third decision-making has to improve. We need to get our best midfielders on the ball more often and, once we reach the attacking third, consistently find our most dangerous players in positions where they can hurt the opposition. We struggled to get Phili in the game in the 1st half. The second half was an improvement on the pointless circulation of the first. Chiefs played more forward, increased the intensity a little and benefited from substitutions that brought better movement in the final third. Instead of simply passing around Sekhukhune's block, we began moving it, creating spaces from both wide and central areas and the goals followed. Having a player capable of operating between the lines also made a difference by providing a link between midfield and attack. There are clear signs of progress in the coach's positional model, particularly in our ability to retain the ball and control games for longer periods. However, possession must become more consistently penetrative. This is also a squad-balance issue. The coach has asked for 4 attacking reinforcements, and management is yet to provide them[Only Phili came and Faiz is more of a project buy than a player who comes and hits the ground running] Some of these limitations, if attended to, should improve with better attacking profiles, but the existing group must still make better decisions in the final third. The progress is there, but the next step is turning possession into progression, and progression into consistent chances. Match day 3 under coach Fernando Da Cruz...๐Ÿ“

Fox's Gillian Turner: "President Trump told our team on the ground early this morning that the thing that has surprised him the most during the course of this operation so far has been the Iranian regime attacking countries that are not attacking them. I'm curious if that surprised you as well. And, General, curious if you are open to the possibility of escorting vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, and if you could describe some of the challenges of doing so." Secretary of War Pete Hegseth: "Big mistake by the Iranian regime to start targeting its neighbors right away, exposing who they are and what they're all about, indiscriminate targeting, flailing recklessly at the beginning. I can't say that we anticipated necessarily that's exactly how they would -- would react, but we knew it was a possibility. And I think it was a demonstration of the desperation of that regime then and that regime now, that they still think their pathway out is to try to alienate their Arab partners even more, who've instead decided to come to us and have been willing to go on the offense, have been given us access, basing and overflight in a -- in a new partnership that will continue to remake the region the way that President Trump did with the Abraham Accords. So, you're pushing those countries in our -- in our direction to support this effort, further alienating Iran. And I think it's worth underscoring. I see in the media banners that say we're expanding or war spreading. It's actually the opposite. It's actually quite contained. And more allies are -- more of those countries are coming onside, recognizing that you can't live under a conventional umbrella with nuclear ambitions, with a radical regime like that. Again, properly scoping the objectives in the process. And then you want to talk about the Strait?" Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Caine: "Sure. On the -- on the potential if tasked to escort, you know, we'll look at the range of options to set the military conditions to be able to do that. And then, like we always do with every potential mission, come to the secretary and the President with both what are the resources required, what is the command and control required, and what are the risks and how do we mitigate those risks. So, we're looking at a range of options there. And we'll figure out how to solve problems as they come to us." Hegseth: "But I would reiterate also to -- to add to what the chairman said, the truth the president posted last night about that, saying if Iran does anything to stop the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they have been hit thus far. He goes on to say death, fire, and fury will rain upon them. You've -- you've seen the Truth and read it. But he takes very seriously the condition of that straits. We have capabilities that no other nation on Earth has, and we're certainly working with our partners across the administration to control for that. That's part of that scoping of this. The -- the world needs to understand this doesn't have -- this isn't intended to be, nor is it something that will expand. We know exactly what we're attempting to achieve here, scoped properly. And the American people can count on that for sure."

Thought for todayโ€ฆ. I would like to thank Alexander Isak for his behaviour and forcing to leave Newcastle. I would also like to thank Liverpool for the duplicitous way they unsettled him. Why FFS you may ask? Hear me outโ€ฆ 1. The bloke is not a team player as he showed last season with his performances at the start and end of last season and we only want fully committed players at our club. 2. At some point due to the corrupt PSR rules we were going to have to sell a big player to enable us to move to the next level. It might as well be one with the lack of character and morality that he has shown. 3. Isak and Liverpool have handed us a massive windfall that has the potential to transform the club over the next few seasons. Without this we would not be able to move forward as quickly and we would all be waiting for the axe to fall on another star player. That is less likely now. 4. We now, potentially,have the strongest squad in my living memory (with the possible exception of Keeganโ€™s Entertainers but who knows they may surpass even them) 5. The new CEO and Sporting Director (both of whom are top class if reports are correct) will be walking into a club that is united from top to bottom and in a very strong financial position. A club that has qualified for the Champions League in two of the last 3 season and won its first domestic trophy in 70 years. A club that is clearly on the up. 6. PIF will hopefully have learned lessons from what happened this summer and even though it was a little late they acted in the last few weeks and made sure the end to they transfer window could be deemed a big success despite the circumstances (next up get the CEO and Sporting Director in and announce a new stadium) 7. Eddie Howe, Andy Howe, Jamie Reuben and Steve Nickson have cemented their reputations. In particular Eddieโ€™s handling of the whole Isak affair has been a masterclass in diplomacy, hard work, and man management - we truly have an absolute gem and a gentleman leading the team. 8. In summary we have a club that is united from top to bottom, in a healthy financial position, a much stronger squad with players committed to the club, new top class senior personnel to be added very shortly, a second Champions League season to look forward to and hopefully more silverware. Thanks Isak (you are still a rat) and Liverpool (your ยฃ135m will move us to the next level head of time) HWTL ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค

The targeting foul against Zack Orr of NCC Football has been overturned, and he will be eligible to start in Saturday's #d3fb National Semifinal vs. Susquehanna Football at 3:30pm EST / 2:30pm CST. I spoke with Steve Shaw, the NCAA's National Coordinator of Officials, about the overturn this morning. Note that the provision in question is whether or not Springfield Football QB Drew Heenan qualified under the rules as a "defenseless player," as the following is one such definition in the NCAA Football Rulebook: "A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped." If a defenseless player is hit in the neck or head region by an opponent, then targeting is a proper call under the rules. Steve said: โ€œWeโ€™re very clear that he's not defenseless until he is down. And if you go back and look at the video on the playโ€ฆhe's wrapped up and he's going down. And the contact is with [the] runner just as he's going to the ground. So he really has not transitioned to a defenseless player yet. You know, you can make the argument that, well, if he's wrapped up, he's defenseless and he can't really defend himself. But from a replay perspective, we needed a bright line that that was not a judgment, but a bright line. And that is, [he] has to be down, considered down before he's defenselessโ€ฆ.He's just beginning to go down and be down. And so we wouldn't consider him down at the time that he's hit. And there's no crown of the helmet involved. The helmet is clearly to the side. And so, from a replay perspective, rules are very clear. You've got to be able to confirm all aspects of targeting for it to be targeting. You couldn't confirm that he was down and then hit. So we didn't give him defenseless status....And that's why the targeting was overturned.โ€ Steve also taught me about something that is important. While regular replay reviews can come out as "confirmed," "overturned," or "stands" (which means that there is not conclusive evidence to overturn, but there isn't a full confirmation of the original call either), targeting calls do not have a "stands" option when they are reviewed. In other words, they are viewed anew and either every element necessary for targeting must be confirmed, or it is overturned. Think of it as being innocent until proven guilty in the review process for targeting. In this case, he was clear to underscore that the elements could have been argued to have existed, but it would have, at best, been a "call stands" decision, which is not sufficient to uphold a targeting call. Steve also expressed the hopes that the instant replay model that has been developed and used in Division 2 will become more utilized in Division 3, related to more-universal instant replay using a coaches' challenge approach (except for targeting), much like we saw in the Centennial Conference this year. He understands the challenges, but he also feels that having two HD camera angles plus the normal web stream (basically at least three cameras) is sufficient to embrace the needs of instant replay. He is not in favor of a D1 type of replay at the lower levels because of the desire to not have constant game interruptions and more technological challenges at the lower levels than we see at D1 -- he stressed his support of a coaches' challenge system in our conversation multiple times. In The (D3FB) Huddle and I give thanks to Steve for his transparency, which is always on display in the CFO training videos he releases on YouTube. I always learn something when I watch his videos, and today was no different in our conversation.

President Donald Trump is abandoning Ukraine and putting Europe in danger by negotiating directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin and criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, say the media, many European leaders, and some in Congress. But it is not in the interests of the United States to be involved in another endless war like Afghanistan that ultimately has the same outcome. Russians retain their numerical advantage. The supplies and capacities of Ukrainians and the European nations that support them are dwindling. The war has ended the lives of 200,000 people at a total cost of trillions. The US has spent $64 billion, and Europe has spent $62 billion on military aid for Ukraine, and another $50 billion and $70 billion, respectively, on other forms of aid. Itโ€™s true that Trumpโ€™s actions since taking office for his second term suggest an effort to end the so-called โ€œinternational rules-based orderโ€ that has existed since World War II. And France and the UK have proposed continuing that order by sending 30,000 European peacekeeping troops to deter Russia, with US fighter jets and missiles to support them. But there is little appetite among Europeans or Americans for a long-term Western military occupation of Ukraine that is not guaranteed to work and may still trigger conflict with a nuclear-armed Russia. A Russian government representative has already rejected the proposal as a โ€œdangerous provocation.โ€ And the people who are demanding the US continue the war in Ukraine are the same people who got us into the war. Many are loyalists to past US presidents, including the last one, whose policies helped lead to the war by expanding NATO. Moreover, it is dishonest to call the Pax Americana that has existed since World War II an โ€œinternational rules-based order.โ€ From CIA interference in the Italian elections of 1947 to wars in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa in the 1960s and 1980s to George W. Bushโ€™s illegal invasion of Iraq in 2003, the US government has exemplified what most every foreign policy realist and International Studies professor knows, which is that the global system is anarchic and governed by power, not morality. And, from 2016 until now, the joint effort by the US government and our allies in Europe to uphold the entirely fictitious โ€œrules-based orderโ€ had become totalitarian. The globalists turned the regime change guns inward. The US government, alongside NATO, the EU, and the governments of Britain, Germany, and others, funded the creation of a Censorship Industrial Complex to finance wrongly named โ€œnongovernmental organizationsโ€ that โ€œflaggedโ€ to social media companies alleged โ€œmisinformationโ€ and demanded its removal. Government-backed NGOs and media organizations conducted sophisticated โ€œinformation operations,โ€ to falsely label nationalist political parties in Europe as โ€œfascistโ€ and โ€œfar right,โ€ to frame Trump as a Putin-controlled Hitler, and to smear ordinary citizens as Nazis. These coordinated propaganda and disinformation tactics were coupled with viewpoint-based censorship, thereby undermining the democratic process. Last year, NGOs funded by USAID and the State Department even pushed for the annulment of an election in Romania to prevent the victory of a nationalist candidate. Many American historians and sociologists have observed that the American people are, by nature and geography, more isolationist than globalist. We very much enjoy having large oceans to separate us from the wars in Europe and Asia. And, our rational response to being repeatedly wounded, shamed, and humiliated for our oft-disastrous foreign interventions is to turn inward and seek to heal our internal wounds. We have many. Americans on the Right and the Left have all rightly soured on foreign intervention. Indeed, opposition to more foreign wars is one of the few positive things both the radical Left and the โ€œfar rightโ€ can agree on. Afghanistan was an end-of-empire mistake that Americans do not want to repeat, and certainly not in Eastern Europe on the border with a territorial and nuclear-armed superpower. Trump was elected twice on a platform of anti-globalist nationalism. Its clear internal logic, America First, is wholly consistent with Left-wing opposition to the kinds of foreign interventions that Noam Chomsky rightly taught several generations of students not only failed on their own terms but were also fundamentally immoral. The nationalists who voters elected to the White House and Congress are not anti-imperialists, in that they still have global ambition, but their aversion to new foreign entanglements overlaps with the 20th-century Left more than the Right. We should critically evaluate whatever agreement they negotiate, and even their behavior during negotiations, but we should also keep in mind that the American people have given a clear mandate to Trump and Vance to end the war in Ukraine and significantly pull back from our two-decades-long role in overthrowing governments across Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Both the national mood and the popular mandate for the Trump administration to disentangle the US from the conflict in Ukraine and to transition our allies to greater security independence are clear. And yet many global media and governing elites โ€” the cross-Atlantic foreign policy establishment, most European leaders, and most Democrats and many Republicans in Congress โ€” are attacking the Trump administrationโ€™s efforts to negotiate peace in Ukraine. Why is that? Why wonโ€™t they just give peace a chance? Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning journalism, read the rest of the article, and watch the rest of the video!

I watched every SEC Football Media Day press conference so you donโ€™t have to. Hereโ€™s the best answer from every head coach: -- LSU Coach Lane Kiffin on why personal growth often comes from subtracting, not constantly adding: โ€œIf you really want to keep growing, a lot of people add things as they go versus subtracting things that are issues.โ€ โ€œOnce you remove something from your life, you start to realize how many other people are addicted to it or need it.โ€ โ€œTo be free of that has been interesting because you donโ€™t compare.โ€ โ€œSocial mediaโ€ฆ makes you compare your job, the city you live in, your vacation, your kids, your clothes, your car, your significant other.โ€ โ€œWhen you donโ€™t see that all day, youโ€™re free of that comparison.โ€ โ€œItโ€™s been a way of being more present.โ€ โ€” Georgia Coach Kirby Smart explains how leaders should operate when their industry is changing rapidly: โ€œWhat wins football games has not changed. Each coach has to decide within their own program what they want to major in.โ€ Youโ€™ve got to be able to wear multiple hats. But youโ€™ve got to choose which hats you want to wear the best.โ€ โ€œIโ€™m not afraid to change what we need to change to be successful. I donโ€™t have an ego that says you have to do it my way. I want to hear how you want to do it, and letโ€™s find the best way.โ€ โ€” Oklahoma Coach Brent Venables on the player who asked for more money before he had earned a role, and how he responded: โ€œWhy donโ€™t you worry about playing first before we worry about incentives?โ€ โ€” Kentucky Coach Will Stein on why he believes Kentucky can overcome its history and win at a championship level: โ€œI think because of me, to be honest.โ€ โ€œI know what it takes. Iโ€™ve seen it at the highest levels. Youโ€™ve just got to believe. Youโ€™ve just got to put the ball down and play.โ€ โ€œThe best determination of whether what youโ€™re doing is working is putting the ball down and playing football.โ€ โ€œThere are going to be bumps in the road. Iโ€™m prepared for tough moments and tough times. I already do self-talk with myself: โ€˜How can I stay neutral when stuffโ€™s bad?โ€™โ€ โ€œYouโ€™ve got to go attack. You canโ€™t sit back and wait.Thatโ€™s one thing I refuse to do at Kentuckyโ€”wait.โ€ โ€” Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz explains what Ahmad Hardyโ€™s recovery taught him about the real purpose of coaching: โ€œThere was that moment where he realized he was mortal. Iโ€™ve been very proud of the way heโ€™s approached his recovery and his rehab. His number one responsibility is to be a father, and then after that, to continue to be a great teammate.โ€ โ€œThatโ€™s exactly what coaching is all about. Itโ€™s about taking young men on a journey from 18 to maturityโ€”and itโ€™s a lifelong process.โ€ โ€œRegardless of how much the business changes or is disrupted, itโ€™s still about helping players achieve their dreams.โ€ โ€œWhen Ahmad scores his first touchdown this year, Iโ€™ll be thinking about that journey from hospital bed to end zone.โ€ โ€” South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer takes complete ownership of South Carolinaโ€™s disappointing season and explains how adversity revealed the strength of the programโ€™s culture: โ€œThere was no ceiling on the football program at South Carolina, and nothing has changed. We fell woefully short, and thatโ€™s on me. We donโ€™t seek comfort from how close we were.โ€ โ€” Vanderbilt Coach Clark Lea on Vanderbiltโ€™s disastrous 2023 season and explains how it became the turning point that eventually led to a 10-win season: โ€œThatโ€™s called getting your ass kicked.โ€ โ€œIt may have been the most important thing thatโ€™s ever happened to me as a head coach and to the program.โ€ โ€œThe vision never left us.โ€ โ€œIn 15 years, when I look back on this moment, what am I learning right nowโ€”not what am I feeling right now?โ€ โ€” Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel explains how to develop an inexperienced quarterback without coaching away what makes him special: โ€œThe players have to go learn it, earn it, and compete for it every single day.โ€ โ€œEach one of them is a little bit different. Theyโ€™re the artist. Youโ€™ve got to hand them the paintbrush and let them go paint it.โ€ โ€” Florida Coach John Sumrall explains the attitude he wants to establish at Florida: โ€œI may have some bad moments. I donโ€™t have bad days.โ€ โ€œAttitude is demeanor, drive and desire. Demeanor is your body language. Your drive and desire is the mindset that youโ€™ve never arrived, you can always get better.โ€ โ€” Texas A&M Coach Mike Elko on how he prevents complacency after a playoff appearance: โ€œI show them our trophy case, and itโ€™s empty.โ€ โ€” Ole Miss Coach Pete Golding explains how he defines an elite program beyond wins and football performance: โ€œElite programs arenโ€™t designed for when theyโ€™ve got cleats on. Elite programs are designed for when they take them cleats off.โ€ โ€œAre they a better dude? Are they a better husband? Are they a better father?โ€ โ€” Auburn Coach Alex Golesh explains where real confidence comes from: โ€œReal confidence, not fake confidence, but real, authentic, genuine confidence, comes from elite-level process day in and day out.โ€ โ€” Arkansas Coach Ryan Silverfield explains why rebuilding Arkansas required examining every detail: โ€œThe night I got thereโ€ฆ I said, โ€˜We need to fix the light bulbs.โ€™ How you do anything is how you do everything.โ€ โ€œPeople now are starting to catch on: this is how we need to do this. We need to be better here. We need to support this more.โ€ โ€” Mississippi State Coach Jeff Lebby explains why the next step for a talented young quarterback is not always making more playsโ€”it is learning which plays not to make: โ€œI donโ€™t necessarily put a ceiling on K1. The way he goes about his business on the day-to-day to prepare himself to have success between the white linesโ€”itโ€™s elite.โ€ โ€” Alabama Coach Kalen DeBoer explains why reputation, returning talent and last yearโ€™s progress mean nothing until the new team proves it again: โ€œThatโ€™s okay, because weโ€™ve got to go prove it. It doesnโ€™t matter how many guys you return.โ€ โ€œUntil we prove it, we understand thereโ€™s going to be doubt.โ€ โ€” Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian explains how Arch Manning handled being hyped by outsiders, blamed when their predictions failed, and refused to respond publicly: โ€œArch Manning wasnโ€™t on social media or television saying, โ€˜Iโ€™m going to be the first pick of the draft.โ€™ All he did was work really hard.โ€ โ€œThen those same people wanted to criticize and demean him almost for letting them down because he didnโ€™t live up to what they thought he was going to be.โ€ โ€œWhat he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes.โ€ โ€œAll he did was stay consistent and true to who he was. He didnโ€™t go back on social media and say, โ€˜I told you so.โ€™โ€ โ€œI think right now heโ€™s a very dangerous player because he learned a lot from last season.โ€

The SOROS & NGOs funding DOMESTIC TERRORISM and ANTIFA are all coming to an END. Major investigations are now underway into every single PERSON, ORGANIZATION, and NGO involved. FBI Director Kash Patel addressed growing public concern over whether billionaire George Soros and his Open Run Foundation are funding anti-American movements. When asked directly if the foundation was supporting terrorist organizations, Patel declined to confirm or deny, saying he could not comment on ongoing investigations. Turning to the issue of Antifa and the presidentโ€™s new executive order granting expanded authority to federal agencies, Patel explained that investigators are focusing on financial networks behind the unrest. โ€œThe one thing Iโ€™ve done my entire career under investigations,โ€ Patel said, โ€œis follow the money.โ€ This was the same advice Patel had received from Senator Ted Cruz in September, following the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Cruz urged Patel to pursue not only those directly responsible but also those funding or organizing the violence. He emphasized that the unrest did not appear spontaneous. Cruz told Patel, โ€œI want to encourage you, in the course of this investigation, to absolutely go after anyone who aided and abetted. But I would more broadly encourage you to follow the money.โ€ He argued that much of the violence seen across the country was not purely organic, but fueled by what he described as โ€œsignificant money spreading dissension.โ€ According to Cruz, investigators had already found shell casings bearing slogans popularized by Antifa, further suggesting a coordinated and well-funded effort. He also cited evidence of similar financial backing behind the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots of previous years, as well as the proโ€“open border riots in Los Angeles and other cities over the past year. โ€œIโ€™ve introduced legislation called the Stop Funding Rioters Act,โ€ Cruz said, explaining that the bill would add rioting to the list of predicate offenses under RICO. โ€œI believe the money should be tracked and prosecuted under RICO.โ€ He went on to note that at recent anti-Semitic and violent campus protests, many tents appeared identical, implying centralized organization and funding. In his TND interview, Patel similarly elaborated that violent demonstrations do not arise spontaneously. โ€œYou donโ€™t have hundreds of people surround a courthouse overnight, then move down to Los Angeles, and later to Chicago, without coordination,โ€ he said. โ€œIt is an organized effort that someone, or some groups, are paying for.โ€ Patel confirmed that the FBI currently has โ€œopen investigations on multiple groups and individuals funding these effortsโ€ and that legal processes have already been executed. โ€œSearch warrant results are coming in,โ€ he noted, adding that recent actions formally designate certain domestic groups as terrorist organizations. Asked whether prosecutions would target individuals providing material support rather than criminalizing ideology, Patel replied that each case would be handled carefully. โ€œWe have to recognize these groups for what they are,โ€ he said. โ€œIf we as a society just allow these riots to continue, weโ€™re going to be engulfed by criminal activity.โ€ He concluded with a strong condemnation of the rioters and their violence. โ€œYou canโ€™t attack law enforcement, you canโ€™t throw rocks and boulders at officers, you canโ€™t set fire to a federal building and get away with it. How is that acceptable?โ€ Patel stated: โ€œWe are following the money. Money never lies. And thatโ€™s what itโ€™s going to take to bring down this network of organized criminal thugs.โ€ President Trumpโ€™s executive order, signed on September 22, 2025, granted the FBI extraordinary authority to investigate Antifa and its financial backers. The order officially designated Antifa as a โ€œdomestic terrorist organizationโ€ and directed all federal agencies to dismantle operations linked to the group. It also instructed investigators to pursue anyone โ€œclaiming to act on behalf of Antifaโ€ or โ€œproviding material support,โ€ establishing broad criteria for potential prosecution. Under the order, FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent are coordinating efforts to trace the financial networks behind Antifa-linked activities. The Treasury Department is leading a parallel effort to map funding channels and follow the money trail across domestic and international accounts. Trumpโ€™s memorandum further directs the FBI, IRS, and other federal agencies to identify funding sources and refer organizations involved in supporting violent movements to the Department of Justice for prosecution. The White House and several reports have identified George Sorosโ€™s Open Society Foundations as one of the entities allegedly funding organizations linked to Antifa activities. According to a report by the Capital Research Center, the foundation has provided more than $80 million since 2016 to groups โ€œtied to terrorism or extremist violence.โ€ Of that, roughly $23 million went to seven organizations that engaged in or supported violence, property destruction, and economic sabotage. Among the recipients, the Sunrise Movement received at least $2 million and later endorsed and raised funds for Antifa-associated groups such as the Stop Cop City coalitionโ€”whose members now face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments. Another $400,000 went to the Center for Third World Organizing, also known as the Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction during the 2020 riots. Open Society also distributed $18 million to the Movement for Black Lives, which co-authored materials glorifying Hamasโ€™s October 7 attacks and instructing activists on using false IDs, organizing blockades, and disrupting the economy. These funding relationships between Sorosโ€™s foundations and groups tied to violent activity provide a legitimate basis for federal investigation. Determining whether that support was direct or indirect requires tracing money through intermediary organizations, an established method in cases involving organized crime or terrorism financing. However, prosecuting Antifa presents serious challenges. The movement lacks a formal hierarchy, leadership, bank accounts, or documented revenue streams. It functions primarily as an ideology rather than a structured organization, which complicates efforts to apply conventional terrorism statutes. Legal experts warn that attempts to prosecute Antifa as an organization could face constitutional challenges under the First Amendment, which protects freedom of speech and assembly. Under U.S. law, an organization cannot be banned solely for its beliefs, nor can membership itself be made illegal. President Trumpโ€™s designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization was executed through an executive order, not an act of Congress, and represents an unprecedented legal step that may face scrutiny in court. Still, if investigators can trace George Sorosโ€™s funding through intermediary entities that provided material support for violent acts, the Department of Justice could gain multiple avenues for prosecution under existing laws targeting financial facilitation of terrorism and organized crime. The days of SOROS and ANTIFA are OVER.
