🇮🇱 Israel's spies found a runaway mother on a bus in Argentina, so why can't they find 200 settlers burning Palestinian homes Yaakov Katz asked the question of his own government, and he ran the Jerusalem Post. The same services that stole Iran's nuclear archive and tracked a missing Israeli family to a bus seat in South America say they can't stop a few hundred men terrorizing villages. He doesn't buy it: "I have no problem recognizing that there is a form of Jewish terrorism" He also rejects the phrase settler violence. Six hundred thousand Israelis live over the Green Line, and treating them all as arsonists is like calling every Chicagoan a murderer. The reason nothing happens, he says, is plain arithmetic. Arresting these men means arresting your own voters, and nobody in this coalition will do it. The danger is that one mass-casualty attack turns Palestinian police who share those roads into gunmen, and the West Bank into Gaza. @yaakovkatz

🇺🇸 An ER nurse tried to protect a colleague from a violent patient and ended up getting punched in the head three times and slammed to the floor. Yanira Eguileor says the attack happened after she stepped in at Jackson Memorial Hospital, and she’s now suing the hospital, alleging security measures failed to protect staff. The hospital says its ER has four public safety specialists on duty around the clock, plus two off-duty sheriff’s deputies on campus. Writer: Sol t.co/r08zAngh5V

🇮🇱 Netanyahu pitches Israel as the last safe home for Christians in the Middle East, and tells them they are defending Israel too. "The State of Israel is the only place where the Christian community is flourishing and growing, the only place in the Middle East. Everywhere else, they are persecuted, they emigrate, or they are slaughtered. We are not only protecting Christians. Christians are defending us." That last sentence is the actual message, and It's likely aimed at American evangelicals. It's the one bloc still holding firm while young Republicans drift, and the one Netanyahu really cannot afford to lose. Writer: Daniel t.co/LQlw2wBus0

🇮🇱 Netanyahu says Israel is under a worldwide assault on its reputation, and calls the IDF the most moral army on earth. "We are facing a global attack on the State of Israel and on the Israel Defense Forces. They portray Israel's soldiers as perpetrators of war crimes, which is the greatest absurdity imaginable to say about the most moral army in the world. The State of Israel is like an island of progress, an island of tolerance, an island of security." Somewhere in the reputational damage assessment there ought to be a line item for the footage Israel's own operations produced... Writer: Daniel t.co/tXip8r5yKJ

🇾🇪 Houthi fighters are openly taunting Saudi Arabia after claiming to have shot down one of their F-15s over Yemen: “This will be the fate of Al Saud: submission and humiliation in Yemen” According to some reports online, the footage is from 2020 However, this appears to be due to the Persian calendar having different years from the Gregorian calendar Plus, the Houthis didn't shoot down any Saudi F-15s in 2020 Whatever the year, Riyadh's having a bad one Writers: Lynn, Ian t.co/ipMnwTS3vm

🇺🇸 Twenty-seven devices, years of digging, and the FBI says it still found no evidence Thomas Crooks was coordinating with anyone else. Kash Patel says investigators pulled data from the devices and looked for connections inside the U.S. and overseas, but found no evidence Crooks was even communicating with anyone beyond his parents. That lines up with the FBI’s earlier conclusion that it had found no credible evidence of a co-conspirator, while Crooks’ motive still remains unresolved. Writer: Sol t.co/rPmK1kLBCY

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Is America draining the arsenal it needs to project power abroad? Brandon Weichert says the strain is already severe, arguing that key missile systems are being burned through faster than they can be replaced. He warns the damage could last “at least a generation,” even if the war ended immediately. The U.S. is burning through the interceptors and missile-defense systems it relies on to sustain military operations overseas. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Tucker: WTF are we doing sending Israel 40,000 tons of bombs?!?! "According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. Only public outrage can stop this." Source: @TuckerCarlson / Writer: Ian t.co/h4IGtSbER5

🇺🇸 A San Diego family learned the hard way that their Golden Retriever, Nash, has absolutely zero interest in a career in home security.

🇩🇪🇱🇻 Germany is sending four Eurofighter jets to Latvia as the country prepares for its Oct. 3 parliamentary election. The fighters will deploy to Lielvārde Air Base for roughly a week, giving Latvia extra NATO air cover after repeated drone incidents along the alliance’s eastern flank. Latvia specifically requested the reinforcement ahead of the vote. The Oct. 3 election will choose all 100 members of Latvia’s parliament. Four fighter jets for election week tells you just how seriously NATO is taking the threat of disruption. Source: @TabzLIVE on TG / Writer: Lynn

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Why is Saudi Arabia still fighting when Washington is already looking for a way out? Brandon Weichert says Riyadh has been handed a “blessing in disguise”: the U.S. is moving toward a deal with the Houthis, giving Saudi Arabia a clean opening to de-escalate. He doubts Egypt will jump in militarily unless American bombers get involved, and thinks the emerging U.S.-Houthi arrangement makes a wider air campaign less likely. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 Sec. Bessent put a price tag on Trump’s family tax cut: $82 billion claimed this filing season. The Treasury secretary says the overwhelming share went to households earning under $200,000 and that this is the administration keeping a promise. But if you look at how much the price of gas, diesel, houses, goods, and everything else has gone up, I don't know if things will stay the same or even get worse...

🇺🇸 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh was asked whether Trump’s pressure for lower interest rates is threatening the Fed’s independence. He didn’t answer whether he had recently spoken with Trump. Instead, Warsh drew a pretty clear line: “Part of the independence of the Federal Reserve is we stay in our lane. Independence is a two-way street.” Basically, the Fed won’t tell the White House how to run trade or government spending, and Warsh expects the same distance when the Fed sets interest rates.

🔥🇵🇸🇺🇸 2026 is WILD! Who would have ever thought @TuckerCarlson would become a hero to the people of Gaza?! GENOCIDE IS BAD!… No matter your political ideology, religion, or nationality! Tucker is merely shining a light on truth. The mainstream should pay close attention and take notes.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Was the drone incident near Mecca actually a false flag designed to pull Saudi Arabia deeper into the conflict? Brandon Weichert says he doesn’t believe the Houthis were behind it and speculates that Israel may have launched the drone to push Riyadh further into the war. At the same time, he thinks there may still be a backdoor deal available for MBS if Saudi Arabia chooses to de-escalate. If Washington is already cutting deals with the Houthis, why should Riyadh keep fighting them? @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇷 CENTCOM is trying hard to prove Iran doesn't control Hormuz It claims 900 million barrels moved since early May, which sounds like a victory until somebody divides it by the days. That's about 6.7 million a day. The strait used to carry 14 million, and it did that with no warships, no minesweepers and nobody asking permission to sail. Iran never had to close the water. It only had to make it expensive, and enough of the world's tankers decided the trip wasn't worth it. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸Trump’s handpicked Fed Chair just raised interest rates, directly defying his demands for lower borrowing costs In a UNANIMOUS decision led by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, the Fed raised its key federal funds rate target range by a quarter point to between 3.75% and 4%. Inflation has remained above the Fed’s target for more than five years, but in recent months has crept higher… “This summer's inflation readings do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved.” The increase marks the first rate adjustment under Warsh. Handpicked or not, Warsh has made it clear he’s not going to torch his own credibility just to validate Trump. Source: NBC / Writer: Bri t.co/TTIyhJcnWw

🇱🇧🇮🇱 The IDF has released new footage from inside the tunnels beneath Lebanon’s Ali al-Taher Ridge before they were demolished.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran fired 20 missiles at a U.S base in Jordan, while America reportedly fired more than 70 interceptors trying to stop them. And some still got through. That may be one of the most alarming numbers to emerge from the war so far. According to the WSJ, the U.S fired 60–70 Patriot interceptors and more than a dozen THAAD interceptors against the attack More than three defensive missiles for every incoming one. And despite that enormous expenditure, Iran still penetrated the defenses and struck aircraft. At current production rates, replacing the Patriots expended in that one attack represents roughly a month and a half of production. Actually getting replacements delivered could take around two years because of existing backlogs. Meanwhile, Iran has reportedly shot down another MQ-9 Reaper, bringing the claimed total to 52. This is no longer simply a question of whether America can intercept Iranian missiles. It's whether America can afford to keep up with what Iran is sending its way. @WeTheBrandon

🇨🇳🇺🇸🇮🇷 China could be the "adult in the room" for putting an end to the U.S.–Iran war... The fight has dragged nearly 7 months with no off-ramp, but two sides at war almost never end it alone. Beijing is the customer that still matters in Tehran: it took the bulk of Iran’s oil before the blockade and it has the stockpiles to wait while others panic. Today, FM Wang Yi sat with FM Araghchi in Beijing and told both capitals to get back to the June talks, stay rational, and reopen Hormuz. China already aided the 2023 Saudi–Iran thaw, sits on the UN Security Council, and Xi is due in Washington next week. The U.S. would like to put an end to this, and China could be the key to making it happen. Source: Al Jazeera / Writer: Samuel

🇬🇧 A village of 400 people just voted to LEAVE the UK because the government wants to move 1,256 foreign men in next door... Piddington sits in Oxfordshire and has no shop, no cafe and no pub. The plan is to house male asylum seekers at an old military base nearby, which works out at roughly 3 new arrivals for every person who lives there. So they held their own referendum. 92% turned out, 285 voted to leave the UK, 26 voted to stay, and they hung a sign with the village's new name outside the hall afterwards. The vote changes nothing legally and they know it. What they're actually doing is putting up their own CCTV cameras and organizing security patrols. The government was asked this week if it would drop the plan. The answer was no, because the alternative is putting those men in poorer towns that have already taken more than their share. The same base was picked for this in 2005 and dropped. 21 years on, the village has worked out that letters to the MP change nothing. Source: The Independent / Writer: Daniyal
