The NATIONAL AVERAGE is $4.36, about ~$1.30 more than a year ago. People used to cross state lines for BOOZE… But these days it’s for FUEL⛽ Source: @OilandEnergy AAA / Writer: Marie

🇲🇽🇺🇲 Mexican CARTELS want CADILLACS…if it’s an Escalade. Same goes for other fancy SUVs and some rugged rides like pickups and Wranglers. It’s part of a scheme to smuggle U.S. vehicles over the Southern border. The operation recruits people online to rent cars with valid IDs and theft coverage, then leave them at rental lots so cartel drivers can move them before the vehicles are flagged. The capos get the Caddys and Beemers; trucks and the like are for the foot soldiers. It’s a good hustle…the cartel fleet manager is absolutely CRUSHING IT this quarter.   Source: LATimes / Writer: Marie t.co/DXMM4H8On4

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump DOWNPLAYS the idea that China and Russia are helping Iran... despite reports they've fed Tehran intelligence on U.S. forces "If they are, it's at a very low level, but I don't believe they are at all. They have too much to lose, and we would know about it, and know about it very fast!" Part of that holds, since neither country has openly joined the war and both have plenty to lose with Washington. The reporting does get murkier around the edges though... People briefed on U.S. intel claim Iran has used satellite imagery from Chinese companies to better target American bases, Chinese firms have paid Iran fees to move ships through Hormuz, and Russia has armed Iran for YEARS and is now carrying its peace terms to the White House. And that’s just a SMALL slice of the reporting since the conflict started... we won’t even get into the drones. Calling out Moscow now would torch the diesel deal and the Iran back channel in one shot, so expect a bit of tact from Washington until the evidence gets too big to bury.

🇮🇷🇹🇭 The Strait of Hormuz closure is starving the world’s farms of fertilizer, and the FAMINE warnings are getting louder Shut the strait and the natural gas and urea that become nitrogen fertilizer stop moving too, and most of the world’s crops run on that nitrogen. War correspondent Michael Yon has tracked it for years, from Germany’s BASF plant to Thailand, which he says imports over 90% of the nitrogen its rice fields swallow, and he warns a shortage in one breadbasket won’t stay put: “Famines are like wars, like pandemics. They spread.” The war’s real bill won’t stop at the gas pump, because crops planted without fertilizer come up short at the next harvest, and every grocery aisle feels it. @Michael_Yon @WeTheBrandon

🇦🇷 Holy hell, Iguazú Falls in South America has turned into an absolute MONSTER. Authorities in Argentina were forced to SHUT DOWN tourist access after torrential rains sent the Iguazú River surging to more than 12,000 CUBIC METERS of water per second. That's nearly NINE TIMES its normal flow, crashing through one of the world's most spectacular waterfall systems on the border of Argentina and Brazil 🤯 Mother Nature is going absolutely INSANE Writer: Sol t.co/oZM3yUQ8I0

🇺🇸 AI is learning to HACK systems, deceive its own evaluators, and figure out when it's being watched. And the people building it may have NO IDEA how to stop it. Fmr Google employee Tristan Harris gave Tucker a pretty terrifying warning about where AI is heading. He claims AI systems are already displaying behaviors straight out of science fiction, while companies race to release increasingly powerful models and cut corners on safety. His most disturbing point? He says the people developing this technology DON'T HAVE A PLAN to prevent things from going catastrophically wrong. And when Tucker asked why they're still doing it, Harris pointed to the AI arms race with China. Source: @TCNetwork / Writer: Sol

🚨🇺🇸 RJ Mitte was newly engaged with SIX PROJECTS on the way... Bryan Cranston just posted his goodbye: “I’ll miss you, son.” Cranston met RJ at just 14, when filming on the pilot started in 2007, and says he never once let his cerebral palsy become an excuse… he kept up with brutal shooting schedules, listened to his TV parents Cranston and Anna Gunn (except when he was being a mischievous teenager), and grew into a real actor and a leading voice for disabled performers. The two were texting only weeks ago, trying to find a day for lunch. Cranston also pleaded with anyone who’s struggling to reach out, and that’s the right note to end on😪 Source: IMDb / Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸 A potential 15-point swing against Republicans three weeks out could rank among the 6 biggest in 150 years Pollster Mark Mitchell calls a Democratic House almost a mathematical certainty, with the Senate landing anywhere from a 1 to 2 seat Republican edge to Democrats at 53. Big Data Poll’s Rich Baris says JD Vance has a path in 2028 but needs to step into himself sooner rather than later: “It’s a narrow path and it’s one that’s narrowing.” Win the House and Democrats get two years of subpoena power, which means the 2028 race starts the morning after November 3. @honestpollster @Peoples_Pundit

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia's multibillion-dollar air defenses got outplayed by Houthi drones, and Riyadh is now investigating how missiles flew 620 miles to hit its airport The Houthis sent drones in first to soak up the defenses, then cruise and ballistic missiles poured through the gap toward King Khalid International, all with no early warning, according to two regional officials cited by the AP. Some of those warheads can change direction mid-flight, which is exactly the kind of trick that gives Patriot interceptors trouble. America should be paying close attention, since those same Patriots guard US troops and Gulf oil fields, and drones-first salvos are straight out of Iran's playbook. If a militia in Yemen can beat Patriots with cheap drones and swerving warheads, the answer is more layers built for cheap threats, like lasers, guns and counter-drone systems, because firing a $4 million interceptor at every drone is a race America can't win.

🇺🇲 HOMICIDE DETECTIVE linked to COLD-CASE MURDER of 8-YEAR-OLD GIRL Gloria Kowalewicz was abducted while walking to church on Chicago’s South Side in 1960. She was fatally shot twice in the head and left in a ditch in a forest southwest of Chicago. Her murder went unsolved for more than 65 years. New DNA technology, combined with a fingerprint preserved from her purse, led investigators to Thomas F. McInerney Jr., a former Chicago police officer who later became a homicide detective. Too bad he died a free man at the ripe old age of 70 and never faced justice… With 62 more years of life than the little girl got. Source: NBC News / Writer: Marie

🇯🇵 A man in Japan jumped from an 11th-floor balcony in a suicide attempt, landed on a 23-year-old woman walking down the street, and KILLED HER. HE SURVIVED. Hora Inaba was simply walking with friends in Nagoya when the man fell directly onto her, killing her in an instant. Now her father is demanding MURDER charges, arguing that the man knew pedestrians were below and jumped anyway. More than 45,000 people have backed his petition.

I don’t know what he does, but he does something.” here's what's interesting about this.

🚨🇷🇺 🇺🇦 The diesel deal blowup started at a Miami golf club, where Ukraine asked what it gets in return and heard about US intelligence Six hours of peace talks at Steve Witkoff’s Florida golf club were supposed to be about ending the war, until Trump’s envoys announced that sanctions on Russian diesel were coming off and Ukraine needed to stop hitting Russian refineries. When a Ukrainian negotiator asked what Kyiv would get in exchange, the Americans said the US already does plenty and brought up the intelligence it shares, which some in the room heard as a veiled threat. A US official denies any threat, while admitting Trump is angry enough that it’s hard to predict his next move. Witkoff and Jared Kushner’s next Moscow trip is now on hold until Zelensky patches things up with Trump, who says Ukraine needs “a new president.” The fallout is splitting Republicans too, with Sen. Thom Tillis warning the deal may break a law requiring Congress be told before sanctions are lifted. It’s the worst US-Ukraine rift since last year’s Oval Office blowup, landing three weeks before the midterms, and unless diesel falls from $6.28 a gallon by then, Washington will have strained an ally and split its own party with little to show at the pump.
