🚨🇹🇷 Turkey’s stock market just fell so fast the exchange had to hit the brakes... The BIST 100 dropped about 6% and tripped a market-wide circuit breaker after an asset manager, Pusula Portföy, could not meet 55 billion lira in redemptions sitting on illiquid names... TURKEY SEEMS F*CKED Source: Trading View / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇾🇪🇸🇦 Yemen’s Houthis just dropped footage they say shows a Saudi F-15 getting hit over Marib... The video shows what they claim is one of their homemade missiles striking the jet, followed by wreckage on the ground. One tail piece appears to show the Saudi flag, with Houthi fighters standing around the crash site. They released it today after claiming Saudi jets carried out more than 450 strikes this week. And just yesterday, Saudi Arabia said it shot down a Houthi drone south of Mecca. Riyadh has NOT confirmed losing an F-15. Writer: Daniyal t.co/msdl4XNpuY

🇪🇺🇭🇺🏳️‍⚧️ Brussels just got from Hungary’s new government what it NEVER could from Orbán's... The Tisza cabinet has proposed rewriting the 2021 Child Protection Act, so schools and media can AGAIN promote and portray homosexuality, gender transition, and identities other than birth sex to minors. The European Commission spent years attacking the old laws. The EU court called those limits incompatible with “European values” last April. What are "European values" anyway? 🤔 Source: @AxiomaHungary / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱✝️ Netanyahu: "We are not only protecting Christians. Christians are defending us!" What Christians? How many Christians are there around the world?? The IDF destroys Christian symbols in Lebanon; some Israeli citizens spit on Christian symbols or even on people wearing Christian symbols... What are you talking about???

🇪🇺🇨🇦 Trump spent a year calling Canada the 51st state, and Europe just offered to take it instead. Ursula von der Leyen told the European Parliament she wants Canada as the bloc's first "associate member," a category that doesn't exist and has NEVER been offered to anyone. Carney was sitting in the room when she said it. She never mentioned Trump once. She called it a partnership "not against anyone else," which is the most European way possible to say it's entirely against someone. Then she went further and proposed a European Security Council with the UK, Canada and Ukraine inside it, carrying a mechanism to "flank" NATO's Article 4. Brussels swears that complements the alliance, though nobody builds a second emergency button unless they've stopped trusting the first. The catch is Europe moves slowly. 10 of the 27 member states still haven't ratified the Canada trade deal from a decade ago, so the door she's opening may take years to actually swing.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu: "The State of Israel is like an island of progress, an island of tolerance, an island of security." An island of progress and tolerance??? 🤣🤣🤣 Writer: Samuel t.co/aQf4q4mv6x

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇨🇦 An Indiana congressman just said his state will buy MORE from Israel, because Trump picked a trade fight with Canada. Rep. Stutzman floated it as compensation: if Ottawa is frozen out, Jerusalem can fill the gap. Canada is able to send lumber, cars, and energy across a land border, Israel is... not. But good luck with that! Writer: Samuel t.co/YvuyvbXzud

🚨🇺🇸 Straight-up WWE chaos in an Ohio courtroom... A 20-year-old who had just been sentenced in Columbiana County, Ohio, SNAPS the front handcuffs, throat-punches the deputy walking him out, body-slams the next one, and takes off down the stairs. They tase him right before he reaches the door. Both deputies ended up with broken bones. He already had assault, menacing, and failure to comply charges. Now he’s looking at extra time for escape and assaulting officers. Wild. Writer: Daniyal t.co/MfvPVQbaQN

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Sen. Ted Cruz on Iran: "Is Trump going to put hundreds of thousands of boots on the ground and try to turn Iran into Switzerland? No. That’s not the job of the military. It is the job of the military to stop lunatics from murdering us." And the best way to get a lunatic not to murder you is to try (and fail) to murder them, first? Writers: Samuel t.co/CzyLKwcFMk

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia wants a treaty banning weapons in space, 5 years after shooting its own satellite out of the sky. The demand came from Sergei Ryabkov, the deputy foreign minister who runs Moscow's arms control file, a day after the U.S. Space Force confirmed its people "operate on-orbit weapons that can defend the Joint Force against space-enabled attacks." Ryabkov complained that Washington never notified Russia, then said in the same breath that none of it was news: "we are monitoring all of this, recording it all." Nobody broke any rules here, which is the actual problem. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty only bans weapons of mass destruction in orbit, so everything else has been open season for 60 years. That 2021 test scattered debris across low orbit and Washington says Moscow is working on a nuclear anti-satellite weapon, so the country asking for limits is the one that keeps testing what happens without them.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 U.S. Energy Sec. Chris Wright was asked on Fox: "Is this where we are in America with the price of gasoline for the foreseeable future?" His response/deflection: "Look, President Trump is simply not going to allow Iran to get nuclear weapons." Guess we have our answer, then... 📈 Writer: Michael t.co/VyTfQ5Hdnq

🇺🇸 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

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 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."

🚨🇺🇸 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
