🇺🇸 Most Americans OPPOSE betting on elections, military operations, and government decisions through prediction markets, according to a new nationwide poll. Opposition crosses party lines, with 69% of Democrats and 61% of Republicans against betting on election results. Meanwhile, 65% of Americans oppose wagering on military actions, and 63% oppose bets on government policy decisions. Nearly 90% of Republicans and Democrats also consider it inappropriate for members of Congress or their staff to bet on political events. The findings come as prediction markets grow rapidly, raising concerns about insider trading, market manipulation, and national security. The Trump admin supports federal oversight of the industry, while some state regulators argue these platforms are merely gambling businesses and should be regulated accordingly.

🚨🇺🇸 The man convicted of orchestrating Tupac's 1996 murder is facing life in prison without parole, nearly 30 years after the killing in Las Vegas. Former gang leader Duane "Keffe D" Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August and is scheduled to be sentenced TODAY, bringing one of hip-hop's most notorious cold cases (nearer) to a close. The killing followed a confrontation at the MGM Grand casino on September 7, 1996, when Tupac and members of his entourage beat Davis' nephew. Hours later, Davis and 3 associates tracked down Tupac and record executive Suge Knight in his BMW 750iL. Davis admitted passing a gun to the backseat before someone opened fire, hitting Tupac 4 times. Davis was arrested in 2023 after years of publicly discussing his involvement, including in a memoir that helped prosecutors build their case. Although Davis has been convicted, the identity of the person who actually fired the fatal shots remains unsolved. Source: Reuters / Writer: Mhedi

🇫🇷🇲🇦🇩🇿 French right-wing leader Bardella says Macron is accomplishing the impossible: “In France, we are in a paradoxical situation, because historically the French left has always been very close to the Algerian regime. The French right has always been benevolent towards the Moroccan regime. Emmanuel Macron has managed to alienate BOTH countries, Algeria and Morocco. That’s quite something!” Subtle, yet pointed!

🇦🇶🐧 You can get paid up to $2,800 a month to COUNT PENGUINS in Antarctica!!! And yes, there's a catch. Several, actually 😅 A UK charity hires people to spend 5 months on a tiny Antarctic island, counting penguins, running a gift shop, and operating the world's southernmost post office. The pay is roughly $1,900-$2,800 a month, with food, accommodation and travel covered. The downside? No running water, one shower a week, shared sleeping quarters, and just 1 day off every 2 weeks. Oh, and you must live in the UK to apply. Basically, your dream job comes with penguins and medieval plumbing. 😂 Source: Cuatro / Writer: Samuel

🇱🇧 Hezbollah is handing out housing money to displaced Lebanese families, and nobody is asking where it came from! Lebanese MP Fouad Makhzoumi is asking the right question here: When a designated terrorist organization starts moving substantial funds outside official channels, in a country already under scrutiny from the U.S. Treasury, that is a parallel financial state operating in plain sight. Lebanon cannot rebuild sovereignty while allowing a second government to control both the guns and the money. One state. One law. No exceptions. Writer: Michael

🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 Riyadh’s airport was struck 4 times in a week, killing 18 people and wounding 300, and Saudi’s warning system was completely silent for ALL of it. The last public alert before the attacks was issued on Sept 29, nearly 2 weeks before the strikes, and Saudi authorities reportedly stopped warnings because citizens were complaining about being woken up. Western embassies issued their own internal missile alerts to staff the entire time, compiled from U.S. and Western intel, while ordinary Saudis received nothing. Even the embassies had no warning before Saturday’s deadliest strike. The last images before Saturday’s explosion were passengers scrolling their phones at the gate, completely unaware.

🇺🇸🇻🇦 The Catholic archbishop overseeing U.S. military chaplains is urging soldiers assigned to the Fort Hood shooter’s firing squad to request religious exemptions. Archbishop Timothy Broglio questioned whether publicly executing Nidal Hasan would turn the military into a spectacle resembling terrorist groups. The Vatican and several lawmakers have echoed this concern. Hasan, convicted of killing 13 people in 2009, is scheduled to die on December 3. Trump has yet to decide whether the execution will be broadcast. What happens next could say a lot about where America’s death penalty is actually heading...

🇱🇰🇸🇦 A 24-year-old Sri Lankan laborer is on death row in Saudi Arabia over a Facebook comment he’d already deleted, and his mother is begging for his life. Anojan Sivarasa, a Hindu worker from eastern Sri Lanka, got into an online argument in June after someone made insulting remarks about a Hindu god, and he fired back with a comment insulting the Prophet Muhammad. He was first handed 5 years in prison and a fine under Saudi cybercrime law, but on September 17 an appeals court upgraded that to a death sentence for blasphemy. His mother pleaded with Saudi authorities to forgive him and to see him as their own child, saying he spoke by mistake and asking whether a life should be lost over it. Sri Lanka is pushing for clemency, but his family says they haven’t heard from him since late September. Writer: Julie t.co/QJgecw9toZ

🇷🇺🇺🇸 Russia says it could export even MORE diesel than Trump announced in his deal with Putin. And Moscow is already talking about returning to pre-crisis levels. Russian Deputy PM Novak says exports could reach 3-3.5 million metric tons per month by the end of the year. The Trump admin temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian fuel to ease global prices, despite objections from Ukraine and U.S. lawmakers. Russia says diesel prices have already fallen 5-6% following the deal. Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🇧🇬🇷🇺🇹🇷 11 sailors are MISSING after a drone attack sank the Turkish-owned cargo ship Azov Concord, off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast. 5 other crew members were rescued from the vessel, which became the second cargo ship to be sunk by drones in the area in just one week. Bulgarian PM Radev condemned the attacks as "absolutely unacceptable" and summoned Russia's ambassador, though Moscow has NOT been formally blamed. The incidents have intensified calls within Bulgaria for stronger NATO involvement, including consultations with allies and increased protection of commercial shipping in the Black Sea.

Oil has had one wild ride since 2000, and it's not exactly calming down now. In 2008, booming demand from China and a flood of speculators sent Brent to a record $144 a barrel. Months later, the global financial crisis hit and prices crashed below $40. By 2016, Brent had sunk to $26 after the U.S. shale boom flooded the world with oil and Saudi Arabia refused to cut production to prop prices up. Then came 2020. COVID lockdowns killed demand overnight, storage tanks filled to the brim, and U.S. crude briefly went NEGATIVE, meaning sellers were literally paying people to take it off their hands. In 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, the West slapped sanctions on Moscow, and Brent rocketed back up to $133. Now it's climbing again, with Brent settling at $106.65 yesterday and WTI at $93.74, as the Iran war drags on, the Strait of Hormuz stays under blockade and Houthi missiles rain down on Saudi Arabia. Every few years, the world finds a new way to break the oil market, and this year it's going for the full combo. Writer: Julie t.co/WI4I4llkyw

🇺🇸 The plan to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former U.S. Army major convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, could mark a turning point in America's relationship with the death penalty. The December firing-squad execution comes as Washington struggles with the war against Iran and its consequences in the Strait of Hormuz. Executing a convicted Islamist terrorist could provide a morale boost and a political distraction from those difficulties. But the larger significance goes far beyond the war. America has spent decades maintaining capital punishment in law while increasingly avoiding its implementation. California is perhaps the clearest example. Despite retaining the death penalty and voters repeatedly rejecting abolition, the state has not executed anyone since 2006. This arrangement allows politicians to avoid the political consequences of either abolishing capital punishment or actually enforcing it. Across the country, lengthy appeals, execution moratoriums and disputes over supposedly cruel and unusual punishment have created an enormous divide between what the law permits and what the government is willing to do. Even lethal injection reflects America's discomfort with capital punishment, presenting an inherently violent act as something resembling a medical procedure. A publicly broadcast firing-squad execution would reject that sanitization entirely. There is a serious argument that laws, once democratically established and upheld by the courts, should be enforced rather than quietly abandoned through political avoidance. That does not eliminate the need for due process or constitutional protections. But retaining the death penalty while making its implementation practically impossible raises questions about the credibility of the law itself. And that is why Hasan's execution could become a defining test. If capital punishment is to survive as a meaningful part of American law, its supporters may have to defend its actual implementation openly rather than hiding behind increasingly sanitized procedures. The reaction to a livestreamed firing squad could reveal whether America still has the political and institutional willingness to enforce the ultimate punishment. Writer: Mhedi t.co/SYrSckXD6P

🇩🇪🇪🇺 Germany's Chancellor Merz: "The studies we are seeing show that Germany is considered the most attractive investment destination in Europe." He may be right about that, but it's a bit surprising when you look around Germany and find countries that are safer with lower labor costs and lower energy costs. What makes Germany still the "most attractive investment destination" over, say, Poland? Writer: Michael t.co/tbCA8pAJFR

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Houthi missiles are hitting Riyadh, and the bill could end up (once again) at your gas pump. Brent crude jumped from around $97 to over $107 a barrel in less than a week as attacks on Saudi Arabia intensified. It's still hovering around $105, with traders nervous about what happens if the Houthis start going after oil facilities. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's biggest oil exporters, so even the threat of disrupted pipelines and refineries can send prices climbing elsewhere. Saudi stocks dipped after the latest airport attack before recovering most of their losses, while other Gulf markets remain on edge. Even Ali Shihabi, a Saudi analyst close to the government, acknowledges the kingdom has too many airports, pipelines and oil facilities to defend them all. And the damage to business is already showing. Riyadh's main airport had to suspend operations, the capital's financial district has gone remote, U.S. aviation authorities are warning about flying over parts of the country, and some major players skipped this week's oil conference. That hits MBS right where it hurts. His Vision 2030 plan depends on attracting $100 billion a year in foreign investment to move the economy beyond oil. Not exactly an easy sell when missiles are flying over the capital. So the country spending billions to build a future beyond oil is now stuck watching its oil drive prices up for everyone else.
