Math Facts: 28 million is the COMBINED native population of Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE and Kuwait. (64M with foreign nationals). 28 MILLION is the population of JUST the Houthis in Yemen!!! Yemen has 43M people, projected 60M by 2050! Iran has 87M people, projected 100M by 2050.

My summary of the just completed oral argument in the 9th Circuit's emergency hearing on the California ballot segregation demand from DOJ:

Five tests for nationalism in the next 10 days. Could be genuinely transformative. 🇷🇸 Serbia — Vucic lost (yay!) 🇧🇷 Brazil — Lula leads early count 🇮🇱 Israel — 27 Oct 🇧🇬 Bulgaria — 1 Nov 🇺🇸 USA — 3 Nov One down, one looks promising, three to go.

Ok. So ‘they’ talked and said, ok, you can take out Crimea. And it’s done. No water, no power. They have no water without power. This is Big news. Expect that bridge to fall soon. Mass evacuation declared. And Russian trains run on electricity. Uh oh.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of Mary Peltola's campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Elias Law Group has filed to fight DOJ's lawsuit to rig the Alaska Senate election. We will win this case, Mary will win this election, she will be certified and seated.

JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Glad someone is writing a book about this.

Naturally Americans the direct effects of El Niño to America, but few seem to realize that El Niño will have devastating effects across much of the world, particularly in Asia. Beyond plunging tens of millions of people into food insecurity, it will also raise prices for goods in America.

The cloud has a landlord. I followed the evidence on data centers, detention contractors, surveillance, and public costs. The paperwork gives us plenty to question. #DataCenters #PublicAccountability #Privacy #TechnologyEthics

The Department of Justice (DOJ) is considering filing lawsuits against additional states before or after the midterms as part of its effort to force states to investigate alleged noncitizens on their voter rolls, according to an NBC News report. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Be careful of this! It's illegal in some places. legallyexplained.com/is-it-illega...

DOJ vs California on alleged noncitizens is before Judge Holcomb. How much of an outlier is he? He issued the radical ruling that POTUS - not courts - interpret the terms of Alien Enemies Act statute. No other judge would or did say so, including conservatives on 5th Circuit and other districts.

Video analysis reveals an ICE vehicle swerved towards and appeared to hit a U.S. citizen

I can’t understand why religion can be so cruel, yet also be about helping people. But then I saw this.

1/ The Trump Administration is said to have refused to extradite from Montenegro the arrested co-founder of the Russian Rybar blog, Mikhail Zvinchuk, despite its own $10 million bounty on its capture. It also reportedly blocked several European countries from extraditing him. ⬇️

details leaked. this vulnerability is a full unauthenticated unconditional remote code execution exploit against any service running on a PHP version from 5.4 until latest yeah if anything deserves CVSS 11, this is it. this is CATACLYSMICALLY bad.

So I hear two satellites came within 26 meters of each other and it was not an accident. The Russian one was either trying to destroy the other, or send a message. Where is the Space Force when we need them? theins.press/en/news/298487

I remember distinctly that many people were questioning me earlier this year and saying that ICE was not detaining US citizens. No one is saying that now. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/u...

Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people, and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens. The press release claims that every person targeted is a legal permanent resident of the US but not a citizen. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Oh.

This really is disgraceful behaviour and just underlines that the American political elite is rotten to the core

This is a thing I think about a lot, that your data (privacy, texts, DNA, voiceprint, image, all of it) are only as safe as your most credulous, least thoughtful contact makes them. Seems suboptimal!

NEW ANALYSIS: The U.S. and Saudi Arabia are finding themselves trapped in two devastating wars with one dangerous thing in common: Their enemies can strike back at critical energy infrastructure. Iran and the Houthis are exposing a vulnerability that could send shockwaves through the global economy

Surprising no one. LA in the crosshairs once again. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...

Small fishing boats patrols the strait looking for ships, and quickly radio in the locations. A missile launcher comes out from hiding, fires and returns underground. This is why the US is attacking fishing boats. They’re spy boats. We can’t defend the strait. Boats and ships are at very high risk.

Trump buys Russian diesel, threatens to cut off intelligence and weapons to Ukraine, says don’t bomb energy. Russia hits energy. Trump buys Potash from Belarus, not Canada. Starshield fails on the front. Starlink hub sabotaged in NATO country. UK sends more air defense. So much news, so swiftly.

Probably just the weather. Or some malfunction. But the timing is very suspicious. Hmm… www.politico.com/www.politico...

Totally fair and normal! NATO is forbidden from buying US weapons if they will end up in Ukraine, and the US will also cut off intelligence and weapons—unless Ukraine continues to allow Russia to bomb Ukrainian energy infrastructure and without responding. /s thehill.com/policy/defen...
