Mexican President Groped by Sick Admirer During Meet and Greet in Disturbing Video

**President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum Faces Harassment Incident, Presses Charges**

*Published: November 5, 2025, 2:25 p.m. ET*

The President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, was left rattled after a reportedly intoxicated man appeared to lean in for a kiss and placed his hands on her waist during a public event. Despite the unexpected and unwelcome advance, the politician managed to handle the situation firmly, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

In a viral clip circulating online, the man is seen getting handsy with President Sheinbaum, who promptly pushes his hands away. At 63 years old, Sheinbaum turns to the individual and can be heard saying, “Don’t worry.” However, the incident clearly affected her.

Sheinbaum later revealed that this was not the first time she has encountered harassment. “No man has the right to violate that space,” she asserted.

The president added, “I decided to press charges because this is something that I experienced as a woman, but that we as women experience in our country. I have experienced it before, when I wasn’t president, when I was a student.”

The unsettling event sparked questions regarding Sheinbaum’s security measures, as well as broader concerns about the types of harassment and violence women face in Mexico.

**Public Reaction**

Critics on social media expressed strong opinions about the incident. One user wrote, “I think it’s her duty to pursue justice; this type of behavior cannot be minimized.” Another commented, “What courage to live in these situations of harassment and violence.” Concerns over security were also voiced, with one person asking, “And where are the security guards?” A further comment hoped for repercussions: “Hopefully that guy gets a punishment for harassment.”

**Mayor of Uruapan Murdered During Day of the Dead Celebrations**

The incident involving President Sheinbaum occurred shortly after the shocking public assassination of Carlos Manzo, the divisive mayor of Uruapan in Mexico’s Michoacan province.

Manzo was killed over the weekend during “Day of the Dead” celebrations in his hometown. The event sent shockwaves through Mexico and beyond.

Reacting on X (formerly Twitter), Sheinbaum expressed her condolences and condemnation: “I condemn in the strongest possible terms the vile assassination of the mayor of Uruapan, Carlos Manzo. I express my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones, as well as to the people of Uruapan, for this irreparable loss.”

The assassination also drew a response from Washington, D.C. Christopher Landau, former U.S. ambassador to Mexico and current U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, said:

“On this All Souls’ Day, my thoughts are with the family and friends of Carlos Manzo, mayor of Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico, who was assassinated at a public Day of the Dead celebration last night.”

Landau added: “The U.S. stands ready to deepen security cooperation with Mexico to wipe out organized crime on both sides of the border.”

Sharing a poignant image, Landau continued, “Here’s Carlos holding his young son at the celebration just moments before the attack. May his soul rest in peace and may his memory inspire prompt and effective action.”

—

**Details on the Assassination**

Carlos Manzo was known as an outspoken anti-crime mayor, a stance believed to have made him a target.

The suspected shooter was killed at the scene. Although his identity remains unknown, Michoacan’s attorney general stated that the young man is believed to be between 17 and 19 years old. Authorities suspect that the killing was orchestrated by an organized crime group.

This turbulent week highlights ongoing challenges related to security and violence in Mexico, especially concerning public officials and women in leadership. President Sheinbaum’s decision to press charges and public reactions may contribute to a broader conversation about safety, respect, and justice in the country.

Sherrill says she has a mandate as New Jersey’s next governor and will focus on affordability

**New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill Says She Has a Mandate to Make State More Affordable**

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill said Wednesday she believes she has a clear mandate to fulfill her campaign promises focused on making the state more affordable. The Democrat is also dialing back her criticism of Republican President Donald Trump—for now—as she sets up her administration amid Democratic victories in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and New York City.

Sherrill met with Gov. Phil Murphy, D-N.J., at his statehouse office, where they discussed the transition. When asked if her double-digit victory over Republican Jack Ciattarelli signaled a mandate, the congresswoman responded, “Yes, I do, a big one.”

While Sherrill did not directly address how her centrist victory in a state that had been shifting to the right aligns with the election of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor—a candidate favored by the Democrats’ progressive wing—she remained focused on her core message of affordability.

“The reason I was so focused on affordability issues is because my communities are focused on affordability issues and how they’re going to be successful,” Sherrill said.

She has promised to issue an executive order to freeze monthly electricity bills and aims to expand a program for first-time homebuyers.

During the campaign, Sherrill strongly criticized Trump’s tariffs, describing them as “a worldwide extortion racket,” and positioned him as a key foil in the race. Although she has not yet spoken to Trump, she expressed willingness to collaborate on bringing federal funds into the state—particularly for the Gateway rail tunnel project connecting New Jersey with Manhattan. The Trump administration froze funds for the project amid the government shutdown.

In defeating Ciattarelli, Sherrill flipped counties that had supported Republicans in the previous year’s presidential and gubernatorial races. She also performed strongly among nonwhite voters, winning about 7 in 10, according to the AP Voter Poll, which surveyed more than 4,000 New Jersey voters.

This is a promising sign for Democrats who have been trying to regain support among nonwhite voters after Trump made gains in this demographic in 2024. Sherrill captured about half of the state’s white voters, who comprise 7 in 10 voters overall.

The poll found that approximately 9 in 10 Black voters supported Sherrill, along with about 8 in 10 Asian voters. Hispanic voters were more divided, but around two-thirds favored Sherrill, while only about 3 in 10 voted for Ciattarelli.

Last year, Trump made inroads with Black and Hispanic communities in New Jersey, narrowing the Democratic margin from 16 percentage points in 2020 to just 6 points.

The poll also highlighted economic messaging: Sherrill won about 7 in 10 voters who said their family’s finances were “falling behind,” a group comprising roughly one-quarter of voters.

“What I saw was that our message was resonating,” Sherrill said.

Fedora-wearing bicyclist who scrawled swastikas at NYC yeshiva caught on video

Disturbing surveillance video has captured a mysterious bike-riding vandal who painted swastikas at a Brooklyn yeshiva early Wednesday morning, just hours after socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win.

The footage shows a single figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat pedaling up to the Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend around 6:30 a.m. The individual stops briefly to scrawl hateful graffiti before riding off.

“In light of the results from the election last night, everybody is super sensitive, and we’re afraid that this is going to be the new norm, where these people are going to be emboldened and think that they can get away with it,” Bob Moskiwitz, dispatcher for Flatbush Shomrim Patrol, told The Post.

“First of all, it’s hate graffiti,” he said. “I don’t care if it was on a mailbox or on a light pole—we would look into that, too. But here you have a predominantly Jewish neighborhood, a Jewish school with massive attendance. This is one of the largest schools in the community, and it’s very traumatic for the entire community.”

The hateful act came just hours after Mamdani, a Muslim and social Democrat, comfortably beat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the mayoral race. This victory has sparked concern among some New Yorkers who are wary of the mayor-elect’s purported anti-Israeli rhetoric.

“It’s not a coincidence that this happened hours after Mamdani won the election,” one yeshiva parent said. “Anyone who claims that it is is lying to themselves or having delusions. This was a statement that with the new boss in charge, we finally get to show our true colors.” He referred to it as a sign of “Mamdani’s New York.”

Moskiwitz said the patrol received a call about the graffiti roughly half an hour after the incident. Two swastikas were painted on the main building and two more on the window of an adjoining building. The patrol then notified the NYPD.

The school responded by washing the swastikas off the windows and taping

Latinos Shift Back To Democrats In Tuesday’s Election Without Trump On Ballot

**Key Facts**

In recent elections, Democrat Sherill defeated Trump-endorsed Republican Jack Ciattarelli with a margin of 56.2% to 43.2%. Similarly, Abigail Spanberger won against Republican Winsome Earle-Sears—whom Trump did not directly endorse—in a 57.5% to 42.3% vote. A small number of ballots remain uncounted, so the final results may vary slightly.

**Big Number**

25% — This is the share of Hispanic voters who have a somewhat favorable or favorable view of Trump, according to an October Associated Press-NORC poll. This marks a significant drop from 44% just before Trump took office.

**Crucial Quote**

Reflecting on Tuesday’s results, Trump admitted his party’s poor performance, telling Senate Republicans on Wednesday morning, “I don’t think it was good for Republicans, I’m not sure it was good for anybody.” He partially attributed the GOP’s showing to the recent government shutdown and also claimed that Republicans lost because his “name wasn’t on the ballot.”

**Key Background**

The Democrats’ sweep in Tuesday’s elections—including races in New Jersey, Virginia, the New York City mayoral race, and a ballot issue in California—was widely seen as a rebuke of Trump’s aggressive agenda for a potential second term. These results are also viewed as the first major sign that Democrats might improve their performance in the 2025 midterm elections, especially following their poor showing in 2024.

Pre-election polling pointed to challenges for Republicans among Latino voters. A Unidos poll of 3,000 registered Hispanic voters found that 65% believe Trump and the Republican Party are not doing enough to improve the economy, marking a five-point increase since April.

Phillies rumors: Insider links Philadelphia to Angels outfielders in potential trade

The MLB offseason is underway, and the Philadelphia Phillies are looking to improve after falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS. One potential move on the horizon involves targeting outfielders from the Los Angeles Angels, specifically Taylor Ward or Joe Adell, according to MLB insider Jon Morosi.

Morosi noted, “I would say a better than 50/50 chance they (Angels) move one of their significant veteran outfielders,” when discussing the possibility of trades involving Adell and Ward.

Both Adell and Ward are currently in arbitration years, which means the Angels can negotiate terms with them for just one more season. As a result, any team interested in acquiring either outfielder for the 2026 MLB season would need to arrange a trade.

Morosi also highlighted the Phillies’ ongoing efforts to reshape their outfield. “We know that Nick Castellanos probably will get moved, Alec Bohm could get traded, Kyle Schwarber is a free agent, a lot of moving parts with the Phillies, and Harrison Bader is a free agent too. The outfield in Philly is very much a work in progress,” he explained.

With so many potential changes, the Phillies might pursue a trade for one of the Angels’ outfielders to bolster their lineup. However, acquiring either player would likely require giving up some promising prospects.

While the Phillies could still attempt to extend Kyle Schwarber, there is some uncertainty about reaching an agreement. Likewise, Castellanos is frequently mentioned in trade rumors, suggesting the team may be open to a new direction in their outfield construction.

Looking at their recent performances, Joe Adell had a strong 2025 season, hitting .236 with a career-high 37 home runs, 98 RBIs, and an OPS of .778. Taylor Ward also had a solid campaign, batting .228 with 36 home runs, 103 RBIs, scoring 86 runs, and posting an on-base percentage of .317.

Although neither player boasts a high batting average, their power-hitting capabilities make them attractive options for a team like the Phillies looking to add more pop to their lineup.

As the offseason progresses, it will be interesting to see if Philadelphia makes a move for one of these Angels’ outfielders to help reshape their roster heading into 2026.

What’s Driving Bitcoin’s Price Down? Is a Rise Still Possible? Analysis Firm Explains!

Bitcoin experienced a major crash last night, with its price falling below the psychological level of $100,000. Singapore-based analysis firm QCP Capital has examined the main reasons behind this recent decline.

QCP analysts pointed out that the drop in Bitcoin’s price was primarily driven by a stronger US dollar and growing uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) future actions. The fall below $100,000 has also negatively impacted risk appetite among investors.

This weakening in risk appetite and ongoing macroeconomic pressures have been reflected in US spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have recorded net outflows of approximately $1.3 billion over four consecutive days. According to QCP Capital, “This reversal in ETFs has turned one of Bitcoin’s strongest tailwinds of 2025 into a near-term headwind.”

In addition, weaker spot demand for Bitcoin has coincided with forced deleveraging, resulting in liquidations exceeding $1 billion in long positions. Investors in the options market have also increased hedging activities around the $100,000 mark, highlighting the cautious sentiment prevailing in the market.

The data currently points to a technical decline in Bitcoin, with significant uncertainty still surrounding the Fed’s decisions. The recent 25 basis point rate cut by the Fed in October—despite rare opposition—has been met with a cautious market stance. This has delayed expectations of a new rate cut in December.

Market pricing currently reflects a 72.1% probability of a 25 basis point cut in December, while a scenario keeping rates unchanged stands at 27.9%.

Despite the prevailing uncertainty and increased macroeconomic pressures, QCP Capital analysts remain optimistic that Bitcoin could rally again. They noted that a sustained upward movement in BTC will likely depend on ETF outflows turning into inflows and a renewed investor confidence in risk assets.

As with her prior Iraq War-centric efforts such as *The Hurt Locker* and *Zero Dark Thirty*, it’s a cinéma vérité-style thriller exploring how American life has changed in the wake of 9/11. Written by Noah Oppenheim, the film is a triptych that examines the immediate reactions to a nuclear weapon being launched from an unknown enemy towards Chicago.

Key characters include Strategic Command Combatant General Anthony Brady (Tracy Letts) and the U.S. President (Idris Elba). As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that there’s no way to prevent or respond effectively to the catastrophic event. Like the best nuclear war films, *A House of Dynamite* shows that harnessing such a destructive force was a mistake from the start, and it’s only a matter of time before a critical misstep leads to regret.

If you’ve just finished *A House of Dynamite* and want to get your heart rate up again, fear not. Here are 10 of the best movies like *A House of Dynamite*, ranging from white-knuckle thrillers to absurdist satires.

**1. Crimson Tide (1995)**
Although the Cold War has ended, tensions remain high as civil war breaks out in Chechnya. Russian militants loyal to rebel Vladimir Radchenko (Daniel von Bargen) take control of a nuclear weapons installation and threaten to launch missiles if attacked. Veteran submarine Captain Frank Ramsey (Gene Hackman) commands the USS Alabama with a new executive officer, Lieutenant Commander Ron Hunter (Denzel Washington).

Ramsey is ready to strike to halt a nuclear war when an incomplete Emergency Action Message is received. Hunter urges caution, leading to near mutiny as they fight for control. Like *A House of Dynamite*, *Crimson Tide* examines the nuclear threat from a military standpoint, portraying Ramsey’s hawkish approach contrasted with Hunter’s push for diplomacy.

Directed by Tony Scott and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, it’s slick entertainment that masterfully builds tension aboard a claustrophobic submarine. It’s also a thoughtful drama about how split-second decisions can lead to catastrophic outcomes. Hackman and Washington’s performances encourage viewers to see both perspectives: the danger of inaction and the risks of premature strikes.

**2. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)**
Paranoia over communist infiltration leads Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) to launch an unauthorized nuclear attack against Russia. Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) desperately tries to stop it while U.S. President Merkin Muffley (also Sellers) attempts to reverse the attack. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs General Buck Turgidson (George C. Scott) advocates following through, and a B-52 bomber piloted by Major T. J. “King” Kong (Slim Pickens) heads towards Russia armed with a missile.

Released at the height of the Cold War, Stanley Kubrick’s *Dr. Strangelove* is the comedic flip side of *A House of Dynamite* and the tonal opposite to another 1964 thriller, *Fail Safe*. This pitch-black satire highlights the absurdity of nuclear armageddon, asking: what kind of creature would knowingly build the instrument of its own destruction? The answer: us.

The film earned Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Director, Actor (Sellers), and Adapted Screenplay, a rare feat for comedies. Kubrick’s classic remains a must-watch for its sharp humor and chilling message.

**3. Fail Safe (1964)**
At a nuclear weapons strategy conference, a system malfunction leads to an inadvertent attack on Moscow. President of the United States (Henry Fonda) scrambles efforts to recall the planes, but Colonel Jack Grady (Edward Binns) continues the mission, suspecting a Soviet trick.

*Fail Safe* delivers tense procedural drama charting the desperate attempts to avoid nuclear catastrophe. Unlike *Dr. Strangelove*, it adopts a grim, realistic tone. Shot in black-and-white with a near-documentary style, director Sidney Lumet imagines a nightmare scenario where safeguards meant to protect us instead cause our doom.

Much like Kathryn Bigelow’s approach in *A House of Dynamite*, *Fail Safe* asks difficult questions about how close humanity dances with disaster.

**4. The Hunt for Red October (1990)**
Soviet submarine Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery) seizes control of the Red October, a submersible with stealth capabilities. When the U.S. detects the sub heading towards its east coast, fears of a nuclear attack arise. CIA analyst Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) suspects Ramius plans to defect rather than attack and boards the submarine to uncover his motives before a pre-emptive strike is launched.

Like *A House of Dynamite*, this film explores government efforts to decipher the intentions behind a potential nuclear threat. Adapted from Tom Clancy’s bestseller and directed by John McTiernan, it’s a compelling, high-stakes thriller that asks whether striking first is ever justified.

**5. Miracle Mile (1988)**
Jazz pianist Harry Washello (Anthony Edwards) falls for waitress Julie Peters (Mare Winningham). After their whirlwind afternoon, they plan to meet again at midnight. When Julie doesn’t show, Harry tries calling her but instead intercepts a frantic warning of an imminent nuclear attack on Los Angeles.

While *A House of Dynamite* focuses on the government and military perspective, *Miracle Mile* emphasizes the civilian experience. Harry and Julie’s ordinary lives amplify the desperation of facing overwhelming tragedy.

Director Steve De Jarnatt keeps the audience in suspense about whether the threat is real or a hoax—mirroring how average people would experience such terror. At its heart, *Miracle Mile* is a love story disrupted by looming catastrophe, highlighting the human cost of nuclear weapons.

**6. Oppenheimer (2023)**
As World War II grips the world, physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) joins the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb. Working around the clock at Los Alamos, the team creates a weapon deployed on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending the war.

Haunted by the destruction caused, Oppenheimer speaks out against the arms race, clashing with AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss (Robert Downey Jr.), who uses Oppenheimer’s past communist ties to revoke his security clearance.

Towards the film’s end, Oppenheimer tells Albert Einstein (Tom Conti) he fears having sparked a chain reaction that could end the world—a moment echoed in *A House of Dynamite*. Christopher Nolan’s epic underscores the terrifying power of nuclear weapons and the consequences of wielding them.

*Oppenheimer* won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Director, Actor (Murphy), and Supporting Actor (Downey Jr.).

**7. The Package (1989)**
Army Special Forces Master Sergeant Johnny Gallagher (Gene Hackman) is reassigned after a deadly incident in West Berlin. Tasked with bringing court-martialed Sgt. Walter Henke (Tommy Lee Jones) back to the U.S., Gallagher discovers Henke is an assassin trying to prevent a nuclear disarmament treaty between the U.S. and Soviet Union.

Despite the Cold War’s end, the film explores lingering tensions and the military’s resistance to disarmament, echoing sentiments voiced by Tracy Letts’ character in *A House of Dynamite*. Directed by Andrew Davis, *The Package* is a fast-paced thriller about shadowy forces working to keep the war machine running.

**8. Seven Days in May (1964)**
After signing a nuclear disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union, U.S. President Jordan Lyman (Fredric March) faces political enemies. Among them is General James Mattoon Scott (Burt Lancaster), who plots a military coup. USMC Colonel Martin “Jiggs” Casey (Kirk Douglas) discovers the conspiracy and warns Lyman, setting off a tense cat-and-mouse game.

The film mirrors the tense final act of *A House of Dynamite*, portraying a president struggling to do the right thing amid overpowering pressure and limited control.

Director John Frankenheimer examines the dangerous implications of the nuclear arms race and the fight for power behind the scenes.

**9. The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965)**
British MI6 agent Alec Leamas (Richard Burton) is recalled from Berlin and staged as a disgraced drinker to infiltrate East German intelligence. He romancers Nan Perry (Claire Bloom), gaining trust with Soviet agents to gather information. However, he becomes a pawn discarded by his own government.

Based on John le Carré’s novel and directed by Martin Ritt, the film is a dark, cynical look at Cold War espionage. Like Rebecca Ferguson’s character in *A House of Dynamite*, Leamas is devoted to protecting the world but pays a high personal price.

Burton received an Oscar nomination for his powerful performance filled with sorrow and regret.

**10. WarGames (1983)**
High schooler David Lightman (Matthew Broderick) hacks into a military supercomputer simulating nuclear war with the Soviet Union, mistakenly triggering a false alarm that could lead to real conflict. Together with his girlfriend Jennifer Mack (Ally Sheedy) and AI expert Dr. Stephen Falken (John Wood), David races to prevent disaster.

Throughout *A House of Dynamite*, uncertainty looms over whether the missile launch is real or a mistake. Similarly, *WarGames* explores how modern technology and human error could inadvertently start World War III.

A blend of thrilling suspense and teen comedy, John Badham’s film was nominated for Oscars for its screenplay, cinematography, and sound. It provokes reflection on the dangers of rapidly advancing technology in warfare.
