Seven names. One signed statement. Almost nobody read it. Rape is a crime, and any man who commits rape should be charged and punished, but that doesn’t turn an accusation into a verdict. Her November 2024 statement is public. She signed it, corrected it by hand, and the DA declined to charge because, on her own account, the sex and the drugs were voluntary, and when she said stop, it stopped. Innocent until proven guilty is not a favor to men. It is the standard that makes a guilty verdict mean something, which is the only reason a real victim gets believed. Regret is not rape, and a false accusation does not protect women. It teaches everyone to doubt the next one who is telling the truth. Read the statement, then talk. https://t.co/xfW97F5Rd2

Technology companies issued as much as $300 billion in guarantees tied to AI data centers and chips over the past year, according to a Financial Times analysis.

These aren’t conventional loans. They’re something called residual value guarantees, and the way they work is almost elegant in how much they hide.

A technology company promises that chips, data centers, or other infrastructure will retain a minimum value in the future. If those assets get sold or leased for less than the guaranteed amount later on, the tech company that issued the guarantee could be on the hook for covering part of the gap. But because the debt technically belongs to a separate financing vehicle rather than the tech company itself, the full exposure never lands on the company’s own balance sheet.

In other words, the liability is real. The accounting treatment makes it disappear.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz finished second to Trump in the 2016 GOP Presidential primary.

Cruz is making no secret of the fact that he wants to run for President again in 2028.

And Cruz has been carving out a lane as the Never Trump candidate by opposing President Trump on tariffs, Trump’s negotiations to end the Iran war, Trump’s proposed $5,000 post-election dividend, and FCC investigations into liberal bias in late-night TV.

Cruz also attacked a so-called “rise of anti-Semitism” on the right, a move Vice President JD Vance took exception to as Vance explained Cruz was calling GOP voters a bunch of bigots.

Fox Business Network’s Larry Kudlow pressed Cruz on whether he was running for President in 2028.

🚨 BOMBSHELL: What if CANCER isn’t “cancer” at all… but PARASITES and their egg sacks? Under the microscope, the so-called “cancer cells” look identical to living parasite clusters — and they MOVE. Dr. Lee Merritt drops the red pill: “They know that Cancer is Para-sites… but they’re not letting anyone know because they don’t want to lose their funding. ”The trillion-dollar “War on Cancer” has been pushing chemo and radiation while cheap, safe anti-parasitics like wormwood, neem, and tulsi get demonized. Could this be why parasitic drugs like Fenbendazole and Ivermectin are working? Time to wake up. Who’s done with the medical mafia? Tag someone who needs to see it. 👇

How much does it cost to get more information about a cop who punched someone in the face?

If you guessed anything lower than $2.5 million, you’d be wrong — at least according to the city of Eugene, Oregon.

In August, the local news outlet Double Sided Media filed a public records request for records about police officer Justin Peckels, which focused on potential misconduct between 2018 and 2026. Peckels has been the subject of community complaints, including for punching a resident in the face during a traffic stop, making the records vital for oversight and their release clearly in the public interest.

The city’s response is beyond belief. In its response to the request on Monday, the Eugene Police Department claimed searching for records and processing the request would take at least 44,816 hours of staff time and cost approximately $2,484,599.04. (A separate request by the outlet for similar records concerning a former police officer, Eric Klinko, was met with a comparatively modest estimate of $195,869.52, for a grand total of nearly $2.7 million for both requests.)

The US Coast Guard said Friday that its forces intercepted a ship that was attempting to bring fuel to Cuba, as the US continues to enforce a ramped-up oil embargo on the country, which has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis.

The Coast Guard said that the incident occurred in early September, when a “Coast Guard tactical team” boarded the M/V Grace, a 300-foot-long container ship, in the Caribbean Sea.

United States District Judge David S. Leibowitz in Miami dismissed a federal case against Chelsea Cox, a Jamaican national accused of illegally voting in 2020. The court held that 18 U.S.C. § 611, the federal “voting by aliens” crime, is unconstitutional as applied to Cox. The order states Cox cannot be prosecuted under an unconstitutional statute. Reuters reported the decision is limited to her case for now but signals a broader legal fight over who sets voter qualifications.

Judge Leibowitz framed § 611 as a voter qualification rule, not a mere procedure. He wrote that the Constitution leaves voter qualifications to the states, while Congress can regulate the time, place, and manner of elections. That reading knocked out the charge in this case. The order described § 611 as a voter qualification statute, and on that ground, rejected federal power to criminalize the conduct in federal court for Cox.

Ethiopia’s continued existence is indispensable to Israeli security since Egypt’s exploitation of a “Balkanized” Ethiopia’s natural resource wealth, which could follow the Hybrid War that Egypt is masterminding against Ethiopia, could eventually empower Egypt to become an existential threat to Israel (once again).

The leaders of Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, and Somalia pledged to comprehensively strengthen their relations, including through quadrilateral coordination in the broader region, in the El-Alamein Joint Declaration that they signed after their latest summit. This is being widely interpreted as aimed against Ethiopia after federal forces retook control of the rebellious Tigray Region’s capital in the Second Northern Conflict that just broke out and which Addis accused Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea of sparking via their proxies.

Ethiopia and Eritrea have also cut diplomatic ties, the US State Department expressed concern about their escalating military tensions, and unconfirmed reports just began circulating on social media alleging that Eritrean forces are flooding into the remaining rebel-held regions of Tigray. Amidst these developments, some Ethiopians have called for federal forces to “cut the head off the snake” by overthrowing Eritrea’s three-decade-long leader due to his state’s patronage of the new rebel alliance.

Ethiopia believes that Egypt is, arming, funding, and organizing Eritrea’s Hybrid War against it, which could include more direct involvement from Sudan and Somalia as well. Sudan accuses Ethiopia of backing RSF rebels, claims that Addis has always denied, while Somalia resents the 2024 MoU that Ethiopia signed with de facto independent Somaliland, which Mogadishu still lays claim to. Egypt is their top military backer, and its ~1,000-15,000 troops in Somalia could also hypothetically threaten Ethiopia.

The stage is therefore set for a regional war, one in which Ethiopia’s close Emirati and Israeli partners could become involved in too, both in support of Ethiopia but also Somaliland if it too is threatened. Unlike the unofficial quadrilateral alliance that was recently solidified in Egypt, which built upon the late 2024 trilateral one that Cairo clinched with Eritrea and Somalia, no platform has yet to be established for coordinating between Ethiopia, the UAE, Israel, and Somaliland, though a future one can’t be ruled out.

Israel is the only state to recognize Somaliland, which this piece here argues was partly due to its rivalry with Turkiye, whose influence in Somalia rivals Egypt’s. Meanwhile, the UAE has invested in Somaliland’s connectivity infrastructure, which some suspect is used to arm the RSF via Ethiopia (and thenceforth via South Sudan in some cases) despite all parties’ denials. Ethiopia’s hypothetical defeat and consequent “Balkanization” could also make Egypt an Arab superpower to Israel and the UAE’s strategic detriment.

Claire's Observations:  (Sigh) It looks like Africa is very much in play regarding existing and coming wars, as to who controls its resources.

Long before Trump took office, U.S. taxpayers have spent far more on the Pentagon — and its wars — than most know. For decades, Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon have hidden the military’s true cost through little-known bureaucratic practices and budgeting tricks. Journalists, academics, and think tank experts have, with rare exceptions, perpetuated the problem by repeating “official” numbers that don’t come close to telling the full story.

Data shows that the budget was already between $1.5 trillion and $1.8 trillion in the last full fiscal year, 2025, as detailed by a recent Project on Government Oversight, or POGO, report I co-authored. Trump’s requests would add another $781 billion, bringing the potential total to at least $2.581 trillion in 2027.

People have a right to know how much tax money goes to military spending. This is critical to debating the proper size of the military budget both on its own and compared to other spending priorities, particularly any program related to education or the social safety net. Understanding the military’s true cost means understanding where and how the government has been hiding the money.

Spending Hidden in Other Budgets

It’s difficult to untangle how much the country actually spends on the military in part because Congress pays for the armed forces and wars from many budgets rather than one. Beyond the agency controlling the military branches that Trump calls the “Department of War” (the official name is still the Department of Defense), hundreds of billions of dollars are effectively hidden in the budgets of at least 17 other government agencies and entities. In total, each of these additional sums are larger than what Congress appropriates for every non-military agency.

Russia’s new class of jet-powered drones rip across the night sky in Kyiv at hundreds of kilometers per hour, leaving Ukrainian air-defense units only moments to intercept them. It’s rarely enough time.

With many of the drones getting through to the capital, defense manufacturers are scrambling to develop a new generation of interceptors to counter the deadly threat. They are building their own jet-propulsion systems and training artificial intelligence to help guide the chase.

They need to move fast because the Russian drones are driving a new tactic, ramped up in recent weeks, to hit the infrastructure keeping Ukraine’s war-battered economy afloat. Recent targets have included energy systems, key industries, railways, post offices, shopping centers, telecom networks, gas stations and grain exports.

Israel has killed more than 800 Palestinian teachers and injured over 3,300 others since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, the Palestinian Education Ministry said Sunday.

In a statement ahead of World Teachers’ Day, observed annually on Oct. 5, the ministry said educators across the occupied Palestinian territories are fighting “a real battle for survival” to protect the right to education amid systematic targeting.

The education sector in Gaza and the West Bank has suffered “comprehensive genocide” since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, the ministry said.

The ministry said more than 170 teachers remain detained “in harsh conditions.”

It said movement restrictions and harassment at hundreds of checkpoints have compounded educators’ daily suffering, particularly in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, the village of al-Mughayyir in the central West Bank, the Jordan Valley and areas classified as Area C.

Under the 1995 Oslo II agreement, intended as an interim arrangement, the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B and C.

🇾🇪⚠️🇸🇦 Yemeni sources allege plot to stage drone attack on Mecca Yemeni media citing unnamed regional sources claim approximately 19 American-made LUCAS attack drones have been transferred into Saudi-controlled areas of Yemen, including Al-Jawf. The sources allege the drones are intended to be launched toward Mecca and the area surrounding the Grand Mosque, in an attack that would subsequently be blamed on Ansarallah. The allegation has not been independently verified. LUCAS drones are U.S.-made one-way attack drones modeled on the Iranian Shahed concept and have been deployed by CENTCOM in the Middle East. The claim comes after Riyadh recently accused Ansarallah of attempting to target Mecca, an accusation Ansarallah denied.

Saudi Arabia and Yemeni government forces have been preparing for a major offensive against Iran-backed Houthis, whose latest advances along Yemen's western coast have tightened their control over coastal areas and disrupted a critical maritime chokepoint known as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Bloomberg now reports that the operation is underway.

The outlet reports that Rashad Al-Alimi, head of Yemen's Presidential Leadership Council, ordered all branches of the armed forces into active combat operations on Sunday.

"All state military, security and civil institutions as of this moment are mobilized and on high alert until the mission is completed and victory is achieved," Al-Alimi said on Sunday.

President Volodymyr Zelensky told Reuters in an exclusive interview that Ukraine plans to intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries in response to continued strikes on Ukrainian cities. The threat comes as the Trump administration pressures European allies to release up to 100 million barrels of emergency oil and diesel stocks ahead of the Northern Hemisphere winter, with a global refining crunch already straining fuel supplies.

Zelensky told the outlet that Ukrainian intelligence had obtained documents outlining what he described as Russian President Vladimir Putin's new war doctrine to broaden attacks on civilian infrastructure ahead of winter.

"We saw documents and we know that they allow them to attack infrastructure, logistics, and especially to attack in the cities, in the villages, everywhere, roads, schools, hospitals," Zelensky said. "To pressure people to leave the capital, leave different cities: this is the goal of the operation."

The Great Middle East War has just entered a very dangerous new chapter. 100,000 troops under the control of the internationally-recognized government of Yemen are going to attempt to end the Houthi threat once and for all. Saudi Arabia will be assisting by conducting constant airstrikes on Houthi positions. In other words, all-out war is coming to the Arabian Peninsula. The United States will be providing intelligence and targeting data for this operation, but officials are telling us that the U.S. military will not be directly involved at this time. However, Axios is reporting that the U.S. could join the operation at a later date “should it go south”.

What this means is that there isn’t going to be an end to the Great Middle East war for a long time to come.

One of Iran’s core demands has always been an end to the fighting on all fronts.

Needless to say, what we are witnessing is the opposite of that.

Even in the most wildly optimistic scenario, it would take months to totally defeat the Houthis.

Federal prosecutors charged 15 Minneapolis-area activists with conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer, following a grand jury indictment filed in June. Reporting describes a 94-page document alleging a coordinated effort to “prevent, hinder, delay, and impede” immigration enforcement. The indictment ties the accused to rapid-response groups that monitored federal movements and organized actions near government sites. The charge can carry significant prison time if proven. Defendants entered not guilty pleas and await further proceedings.

Assistant United States Attorney Sommer Lindsay Honeycutt said the government is processing about 20 terabytes of digital evidence. Reporters say much of that record is Signal chat content that prosecutors argue shows planning and operational tracking. Coverage notes the indictment references more than a dozen Signal groups and over one hundred messages, plus calls and voicemails. Prosecutors frame the chats as tools used to disrupt lawful federal work, not mere discussion forums or general protest planning.

The global bond market experienced a dramatic sell-off, sending US government borrowing costs to levels not seen in over two decades. On Thursday, the yield on the benchmark 10-year US Treasury note surged to 5.34%, marking its highest point since 2002. This sharp increase in yields reflects a broader trend of investor unease, as concerns mount over the sustainability of government deficits and the threat of renewed inflation, particularly driven by persistently high oil prices and ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Investors across the globe reacted swiftly, with bond yields rising not only in the United States but also in the United Kingdom and Japan. The UK’s 30-year bond yield briefly surpassed 6% for the first time since 1998, underscoring the widespread nature of the sell-off. Stock markets were not immune to the turmoil, as major indices in London, Frankfurt, and Paris all posted significant losses. The sell-off was further exacerbated by expectations that central banks, including the US Federal Reserve, may be compelled to keep interest rates elevated for an extended period to combat inflationary pressures.

Rashad al-Alimi, the head of the Riyadh-based Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, announced on Sunday that Saudi-backed forces were launching a major offensive aimed at capturing all areas of Yemen under the control of Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis.

Al-Alimi has been based largely in Saudi Arabia for more than a decade, having left Yemen after Ansar Allah’s takeover of Sanaa in 2014. While he is framing the offensive as a Yemeni operation, it will rely heavily on Saudi Arabia, which arms and funds many of the ground forces involved and has been conducting heavy airstrikes against Ansar Allah-controlled Yemen, where most of the country’s population lives.

The US is also deeply involved in the war as it is providing targeting and intelligence support for the Saudi air campaign, though so far, it has refrained from launching direct strikes. A US-Ansar Allah ceasefire reached in May 2025 remains in effect, and Ansar Allah has warned that it would escalate in response to any direct US attacks.

The Pentagon has raised combat pay for US troops for the first time since 2002, Task & Purpose has reported, as the Iran war continues and another round of escalation between the US and Iran appears to be coming.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced the pay increase last week. “Our troops in harm’s way deserve compensation that reflects their risk. For the first time in over two decades, the Department of War is increasing Hostile Fire Pay and Imminent Danger Pay,” he wrote on X.

Parnell said that Hostile Fire Pay, which troops can receive if their base or unit comes under enemy fire, has been increased to $450 per month, double the previous amount. Imminent Danger Pay, provided to troops “subject to the threat of physical harm or imminent danger,” has increased to a maximum of $275 per month, up $50 from the previous rate. US troops can receive either Hostile Fire Pay or Imminent Danger Pay, but cannot receive both simultaneously.

Barack Obama's CIA director briefed him in August 2016 that Hillary Clinton invented the Russia collusion story.

Instead of shutting it down, Obama made sure it kept moving – and now declassified documents prove it.

What he did after that briefing is the reason a federal grand jury is now asking questions.
