🇺🇸 A wire-fraud convict walked into Tucson Federal Prison at 278 pounds and walked out 85 pounds lighter. Filippo Cardone said he treated the sentence like a training camp: commissary tuna and beef, a tight eating window, and yard work that started before dawn with a fellow inmate as his trainer. He went in with blood pressure that was already giving doctors pause... He came out talking about opening performance clubs, incredible! Source: NY Post / Writer: Samuel

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The U.S. and Iran collided again, this time over a drone in the water... CENTCOM says Iranian boats tried to grab an American sea drone and U.S. forces destroyed two of them. Iranian media says the boats were only fishing vessels, and that America shot first. At the same time, the Houthis are pushing the Red Sea and threatening more hits on Saudi energy. Every new wreck off Hormuz is yet another reason the oil prices stay high... Writer: Samuel t.co/wltJLtxQAr

🇯🇴🇮🇷 Check this out: New satellite imagery details the extent of damage at Jordan’s Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base. It appears that multiple locations were hit, including runways, planes, and drone hangars. More pointless damage from a pointless war. Writer: Jamie t.co/LEdTmoF0MQ

🚨🇺🇸 Just in time for the midterms, @RepThomas Massie turns up the heat on the Epstein case: “It’s a race against time, but we are moving fast toward justice and transparency. We have 195 of the 218 signatures required to force a vote on Epstein Files Transparency Act II!” I’m certain at least 23 more people in Congress are against trafficking and harming children, right?! DO THE RIGHT THING!!! Source: @RepThomasMassie / Writer: Jamie

CORRECTION: This incident took place in Lake Charles, Louisiana, NOT Arizona. Apologies for the mistake.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 A U.S.-contracted vessel was hit in an Iranian drone and missile attack around the Strait of Hormuz this week, according to Fox News. Awaiting further updates on this... We already knew about the exchange of fire the U.S. says came after IRGC forces attempted to seize a naval drone; the U.S. destroyed several Iranian small boats. Iran claims these were fishing vessels... Make no mistake, this war is still very much ALIVE, unfortunately... 😔 Source: @FoxNews, @TreyYingst / Writer: Michael

🔥🇺🇸 Check out this new BATTLEFIELD BADASS! Lockheed’s Skunk Works just showed more of Vectis, its tailless combat drone built to fly with F-35s and F-22s. The first prototype is already in development, with four more funded in-house and a first-flight goal by the end of 2027. It is about 34 feet long with a 38-foot wingspan, a recessed top inlet for stealth and debris protection, and an internal bay shown launching AIM-120s and Small Diameter Bombs. More robots to fight the robots! Woohoo!! Source: The War Zone / Writer: Jamie

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran fired about 20 missiles at Jordan last week... The United States answered with 60-70 Patriots and more than a dozen THAADs. That's a week’s worth of high-end interceptors burned in a single night... That's because the warheads split on the way in, forcing them to shoot at a swarm instead of a single projectile. The Pentagon insists the cupboard is NOT empty, but an inspector general report says the war has created strategic shortfalls. Whatever math you go by, it isn't pretty...

🇩🇪🇷🇺🏥 German hospitals are preparing for mass casualties after Bundeswehr planners warned that a NATO war could send up to 1,000 wounded soldiers into Germany every day. The country’s 5 military hospitals would overflow, so civilian clinics would have to treat troops and civilians at the same time. In Ulm, the army is looking at reopening a 1979 underground bunker built for 2,000 people for 90 days. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has said Russia could be able to strike NATO by 2029. Long story short… no one is truly ready for what comes next. Source: Bloomberg / Writer: Jamie

🇺🇸🇾🇪🇸🇦 Washington sat down with a group it still lists as terrorists, days after that group took the Red Sea coast. U.S. officials met Houthi reps at the embassy in Muscat over the weekend, with Oman arranging the room. The Houthi side said it would NOT hit American ships, would keep the 2025 ceasefire, and would even spare Israeli and commercial traffic... just not Saudi vessels. Mohammad Abdulsalam, who is under U.S. sanctions, was in the room; Trump already said they called and asked America to stay OUT of Yemen... What's MBS thinking about all this? 🤔 Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Who?? A POLITICO poll in France, Germany, and Spain found Ursula von der Leyen was both little known and little liked heading into the State of the Union speech she delivered earlier today in Strasbourg. More than 1 in five French respondents said they did not know who she was. Only 12% in France said she was doing a good job. In Germany, 45% said she is doing a bad job, driven hard by AfD voters. About 1 in 10 across the 3 countries planned to follow the speech closely. The survey of 2,000-plus adults per country ran Sept. 13-15. It covers three large members, not the whole EU.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇸 Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov: "Previously, Trump said: 'This is Biden's war, if I were president, nobody would have started it.' But now this has become the war of the current administration. All the sanctions introduced under Biden have been extended without exception by the Trump admin." Most people give Trump credit for Venezuela and a few other international successes... But on Russia-Ukraine? On Iran? LOTS of blood continues to be spilled under Trump... Lavrov is right: "Biden's war" has become Trump's war. He can't continue to blame the previous admin when nothing's changed... Writer: Michael t.co/uWR3uYA55R

🚨🇺🇸 Diesel just crossed $6 a gallon, and John Thune said Republicans are willing to look at blocking U.S. exports to ease the pain before November. America ships more diesel than anyone. Russia used to be next, then Ukrainian strikes on its plants forced Moscow to keep most of that fuel at home through September, with only a possible extra month under discussion. Europe already leans on Gulf Coast cargoes. Cutting those off would tighten allied markets fast. Doug Burgum has warned the move might not cut pump prices. Talk of Japan or the ECB dumping Treasuries is still just a market rumor… we HOPE! Source: Bloomberg / Reuters / Writer: Jamie

🚨🇬🇧 PM Andy Burnham says asylum seekers in the UK must be accommodated with "fairness across the country." This, after residents of the Oxfordshire town of Piddington voted to LEAVE the UK in a symbolic referendum... Britons have had ENOUGH! But Burnham wants the burden to be equally distributed... It's like Oprah: "YOU get migrants! YOU get migrants! EVERYBODY gets migrants!" 😂😂😂 Writer: Michael t.co/7rqesarYjm

🔥🇺🇸 L.A. Mayor Bass: "I would just ask that all Angelenos think of who we lost today and keep them in your prayers." Rough day in Los Angeles yesterday: First, an SUV crashed right through the middle of a city bus… killing at least 2. Later, while covering the crash, an NBC4 news helicopter crashed near the scene, killing 3 on board. Stay safe out there, Angelenos! Writer: Jamie t.co/gkYULXFHPo

🚨🇺🇸 Charlie Kirk’s family just told Utah the assassination was preventable and they want the state on the hook for it... Notices of claim went to Utah, Utah Valley University, and other officials, arguing that promised security NEVER showed up, including the rooftops around the quad where he was speaking. Their lawyer says the murder would NOT have happened if those pledges had been kept... Writer: Samuel t.co/6sfGOjMDeF

🇬🇧🇮🇱 Labour MP Tahir Ali just suggested that Britain should take MILITARY ACTION against Israel: "Should we not also be calling for Israel's disarmament, given the atrocities that have been committed? Previous governments have intervened in the Middle East to take action against human rights abuses, and protect international trade routes. Isn't it about time that military action is taken against Israel, also?" While the UK government will almost certainly NOT accept this proposal, it's incredible that we've reached the point it's being offered... Writer: Mhedi t.co/IFUx8KLbII

🚨🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis say they just hit Aramco in Yanbu AND a major Saudi air base in the same breath... Their statement claims DOZENS of ballistic missiles and drones struck the Yanbu facility and started large fires, then more ballistic missiles hit Khamis Mushait. They're framing it as payback for more than 450 Saudi airstrikes this week and for its 12-year siege... They're also promising to keep trading blockade for blockade until the war on Yemen stops. Fun times in the Middle East... 😅😭 Source: army21ye (TG) / Writer: Samuel

🇨🇳🇺🇸 China warned the U.S. that orbital weapons could spark a space arms race, one day after Washington confirmed it already has them. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said America now fields “on-orbit space control weapons” to defend the joint force. Beijing called it a bid for space hegemony and said other countries may be forced to respond. China has tested anti-satellite missiles since 2007 and operates its own maneuverable inspector satellites. Source: Reuters / Writer: Jamie

🇪🇺 Ursula von der Leyen wants to reign in Big Tech... "I am aware that many perceive the power of Big Tech as overwhelming and impossible to roll back. I disagree. We do NOT have to accept addictive features. We do NOT have to accept children being drawn into ever more extreme content. We do NOT have to accept that girls have their photos used for AI-generated sexualized images. As we do NOT accept this, we are reversing the burden of proof. Now platforms will have to prove to us that they are safe." Translation: forget any nuance or concept of free speech, let us, and whoever lines our pockets, limit what you're allowed to see in order to "protect" you. Writer: Mhedi t.co/CBSS3Lmarg

🇺🇸 A Miami cop just earned an actual UFC contract! Deputy Luis Hernandez, the first active deputy in professional MMA, submitted his opponent in Rd. 2 of Dana White's Contender Series. He locked the rear-naked choke and the department back home lost its MIND on the broadcast. Nobody said the police can't be brutal in the Octagon... 🤣 Writer: Samuel t.co/0W8KZUHhLe

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: The Kirk Family has filed suit against Utah Valley Univ., the State of Utah, and officials, alleging Charlie Kirk's assassination was entirely PREVENTABLE. "The Charlie Kirk Show" Exec. Producer Andrew Kolvet joined Fox News to discuss the new filing. "Orem PD right next door had drone coverage. They had a great drone program. They were expecting to get a call for support. That NEVER happened." Charlie should still be here... 💔 Writer: Michael t.co/kLbquPe9gZ

🇨🇳 China fired 9 satellites off a ship near Shanghai, and broke its own sea-launch records for height and weight. A barge that can move is not a fixed pad in the desert. It allows Beijing to shoot more mass higher without waiting on one inland range, and it places the payload closer to useful orbits. That matters for coverage, replenishment, and for stacking a constellation faster than a single concrete site allows. The official story is civilian birds, but the capability is a mobile launch dock on the East China Sea... 👀 Writer: Samuel t.co/zyDwjokC3y

🇨🇳🇩🇪 China is giving the Mercedes G-Wagon a run for its money with the Tank 700... at 1/4 the cost! They didn't copy the price. They copied the look and smashed the number. How do you even compete with this?? Writer: Samuel t.co/UbEfn5Z4i9

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia's FM Lavrov: "We are doing everything possible to minimize human losses, above all among civilians." Could anyone be more hypocritical?

🚨🇺🇸 Washington is pulling tens of millions in military aid OUT of Europe and the Middle East and handing it to governments it likes in the Americas. The State Dept. told Congress it's moving $52M in foreign military financing from Slovakia, North Macedonia, Tunisia, and Iraq to Panama, Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. Sec. Rubio just toured 3 of those capitals and sold the shift as a fight against narcoterrorism, a lock on the Panama Canal, and a firm warning to China. The winners are the neighbors Trump wants under a revived Monroe Doctrine... The losers? Everyone else. Source: AP / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Fmr. Israeli PM Bennett: "We have no interest in settling Gaza or managing the lives of 2 million Arabs in Gaza. We are not interested in that. We want Gaza 2.0 that is not controlled by a terrorist organization and does not serve as a base for terrorism." Perhaps if Israel didn’t kill tens of thousands of people, destroy their homes, neighborhoods, and cities, they wouldn't be... Writer: Samuel t.co/GO6dTHgHJz
