🚨🇭🇺🏳️‍🌈 Hungary's new government is moving to ALLOW LGBTQ advocacy in schools, reversing protections introduced under Orbán. And it's doing so despite MILLIONS of Hungarians voting against similar changes. PM Magyar's government is seeking to repeal a provision banning the promotion of homosexuality and gender reassignment to minors, arguing that the changes are necessary to comply with EU law. The reforms also include changes to public access to Hungary's sex-offender registry. In a 2022 referendum, roughly 3.6-3.7 million Hungarians voted NO on each of four questions involving LGBTQ-related education and content for minors, although turnout was too low for the referendum to be legally valid. The move is reigniting a fierce debate over parental rights and Brussels' influence on Hungarian schools. Source: @balazsorban_HU

🇺🇸 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

🇦🇶🐧 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

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
