Our newest arrivals. They are called Bonnie and Clyde. 2 nice ladies got them out of this neglect situation. Sadly a 3rd dog died there recently. Hopefully we can turn their lives around 🤞❤️

They lie there, the hollow windows of shattered homes staring up at the sky like empty eye sockets. Perhaps they would ask "why" if they could, but there is no one left to answer.

Shadow tanker MYRA IMO 9336490 is running with a storm heading for Ireland after issuing a distress call earlier today. At 10 knots she will hit Ireland in ~23h lest she turns, but luckily the storm will subside during tomorrow. Falsely flagged, any navy might inspect her anywhere.

Tom Skerritt, the Emmy-winning actor who embodied a solid, wry authority figure, whether as a flight instructor in “Top Gun,” a tough-but-fair sheriff on TV’s “Picket Fences” or the doomed captain of “Alien,” has died. He was 93. bit.ly/4ePb9zQ #APPhoto by Reed Saxon

If Europe wants to avoid turning into an oligarchy like the US, we must regulate social media, restrict money in politics, drop unrealistic ideals, and stop letting foreign enemies interfere in our elections

WHY does Todd Blanche fight so hard to keep unredacted (and now even redacted) handwritten interview notes from the American people? Is it because they have to do with Convicted Felon Donald Trump and allegations of his sexual and physical abuse of a 13-year old girl?

1/ King Charles III is leading the Western war against Russia, says warblogger Alexey Zhivov in a particularly unhinged rant. He portrays Charles as working for a shadowy conglomorate of business interests, pedophiles, and LGBT people which Russia is heroically resisting. ⬇️

And it wouldn't be so shockingly shameful if it hadn't cost Ukraine the literal lives of our people. I hope that's clear to everyone.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Contrast this with the lack of serious punishment Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller got, whose conduct was far worse. Scheller then got a senior appointment in the Pentagon from Hegseth.

I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the President rescind the disastrous Russian diesel deal. Appeasement spurs Putin to ignore serious peace talks, & the diesel debacle shows abject weakness. 1/

You should never expect him to ever criticize Russia. He’s a Russian asset and he’s not even trying to hide it anymore. The man is a traitor to his country.

Concluding the meeting with the American delegation in the US two days ago, after receiving a tirade of threats from Trump officials, Ukraine's Budanov turned when leaving and said, "We are now going to burn every last Russian refinery and every last port to hell. All of it, down to the final one."

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front.

⚡️ Global energy market data indicates recent diesel price surges are driven primarily by the war in Iran, not Ukrainian strikes on Russia.

This is a genocide. An example of such genocide is Krynky. That is a place in Ukraine where the Russians prevent both children and adults from getting food. We're not talking about famine there. We're talking about genocide.

He was corrupted originally by the Russian mob and betrayed the Italian mob over the concrete deal for Trump Tower. Everybody went to jail but him and the Russians moved into his building. They have been an integral part of his world ever since. Putin inherited him from the KGB.

Donald Trump and his war in Iran are to blame for our nation's sky-high diesel and gas prices. His latest ploy—buying fuel from his friend Vladimir Putin—reeks of weakness and will help pay for Russia’s war but will do nothing to make life more affordable for American families.

Total collapse at Moscow’s airports 🛩 🚫 Ukrainian sources report that Ukraine has initiated its long-promised operation to disrupt russian air traffic. Delayed at the request of our partners, but now finally underway.

The pressure President Zelenskyy is experiencing is otherworldly, and of top of that he has to endure Trump‘s regular attacks. Yet, he keeps cool. He knows that too much is at stake, than to give in to emotions. Stunning.

The original law does not allow him to remove the sanctions, and that was not repealed by the Graham version. It appears Apex is taking it, and it's also problematic because it doesn't comply with our standards for diesel—especially on sulfur content.

It only requires judicial enforcement of the original ban on the importation of Russian fuel products or oil. He does not have the authority to waive it. It would also help if the media would collapse this nonsense that there is a shortage of oil or refined products. There isn't.

1/ Russian commentators are reacting with a mixture of glee and caution to the deal between Vladimir Putin and the American president some call "our Trumpushka". While they applaud Putin's 'judo move', some warn that Trump isn't to be trusted and that the US is still an enemy. ⬇️

Trump has been hiding his Russian diesel deal for over a month: the deal was announced yesterday, but it was likely agreed when Witkoff and Kushner visited the Kremlin on 5th September. While Trump was signing the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026 on 18th September,…

1/ Russian attacks on Ukrainian data centres have started a "data centre war" for which Russia is ill-prepared, argues a Russian warblogger. He forecasts a disastrous collapse of Russia's digital economy if Ukraine's retaliatory attacks on Russian data centres continue. ⬇️
