🇪🇬🇧🇷 Egypt’s Interior Ministry confirmed they ARRESTED Brazilian content creator Malevola Alves and a friend over sexual gestures and harassment on the streets of Alexandria. Authorities said both admitted to filming and posting the clips for views. The case has now been referred to the Public Prosecutor. Agree or disagree with local laws, filming yourself doing this in public for clout doesn’t exempt you from the rules. Writer: Lucas t.co/cIJehb68mQ

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump declares Iran is no longer the "bully of the Middle East" after eight months of war The Pentagon has tied Iran to the deaths of around 600 American troops in Iraq alone, and Trump says those days are over: "They were the bully of the Middle East. They were one of the bullies of the world. They're not a bully anymore." Iran's conventional military has taken a beating, so that part passes the sniff test. The bullying hasn't stopped at sea, though, since October has been the worst month for attacks on ships in Hormuz since March, and Iran's Houthi allies are blockading Saudi shipping in the Red Sea. The bully lost its army and kept its mines... and no victory lap counts until tankers can sail both straits freely without catching fire. Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 A US fleet stuck in the Arabian Sea with no shore leave is building pressure to use it before it has to leave. Former Navy SEAL Matt Bracken says the ships are worn out and the crews are running low on patience, which turns a show of force into a use it or lose it moment: "You've built up this force, and the troops are restless. They're frustrated. The politicians at home are wondering about the midterms." A fleet that can't stay out there forever leaves Washington two choices, strike or sail home, and the clock is choosing for it. @matt_bracken48

🇺🇲 Trump, at his core, is a jokester… and it can be ROUGH on the Secret Service. Like when he abruptly walks away from agents... "You know, the Secret Service HATES when I do that. No secret! I did that once, like two days ago. And all the Secret Service is RUNNING; they weren't prepared!” Poking at the people paid to keep you alive is BOLD when they’re already doing a mediocre job.

🚨🇺🇲 OHIO GOVERNOR’S RACE SINKS TO NEW LOW An anonymous attack ad circulating online features the Ohio Dem. gubernatorial candidate’s estranged mother calling her a liar and disputing her account of a troubled childhood. Amy Acton said her stepfather sexually abused her as a child. He was arrested and indicted on a rape charge in 1978, and Acton and her brother were removed from their mother’s custody. Her mother stayed with her stepfather until his death. Her brother, Philip Stearns, condemned the ad as “a despicable low.” The video’s creator and funder remain unknown. Ramaswamy’s campaign has not claimed responsibility. Childhood trauma as campaign ammunition? You've lost my vote. Source: NYT, AP / Writer: Marie t.co/B4XZl1ko9m

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Taiz has reportedly fallen to the Houthis and Marib is next... Aramco's output is already down nearly a third and MBS may not survive the year The Houthi missiles keep landing inside Saudi Arabia with an accuracy nobody serious expected when this started, and the kingdom they're hitting was already wounded. A new breakdown of the damage shows Aramco lost close to a third of its quarterly liquids output between the first and second quarters, before the Houthi war even began in July. Larry Johnson, former CIA, says the crown prince is running out of road: "I don't think MBS will survive to the end of the year. Personally." Egypt's parliament is debating whether to authorize an intervention and Turkey is pushing the Mecca Accord through its own, but Larry calls most of it lip service and expects the Turks to have the same success they had in 1918 and 1919. Nobody has shown him a plan for moving and supplying an army across Saudi Arabia, so Riyadh may be buying allies who show up after the war is decided. @WeTheBrandon @NewSonof

🇺🇸 Bessent says a Democratic House would mostly mean MORE NOISE and VERY LITTLE actual POWER to stop the Trump agenda He points to his own recent hearings as proof. The last one was supposed to be about international financial institutions, and he says he didn't get a single question on the topic. Lawmakers just used the time for political attacks instead. If that is the pattern, then taking the House looks more like theater than a real roadblock. Writer: Lucas t.co/w7Pu0YeCd1

🇺🇸 CHIP PRODUCTION in North Carolina gets a $1.5B push from the Department of War. Trump’s team lined up a conditional loan to help a local chipmaker expand U.S. production of specialized semiconductors used in defense systems. The goal is to build critical tech at home instead of relying so heavily on foreign suppliers. The funding comes with conditions, but the mission is clear: strengthen domestic production and secure the supply chain. Writer: Lucas t.co/ertXed2ozs

🇺🇸 The hottest inflation prints since 2022 hit last week and Treasury yields FELL... which may mean the bond market is sniffing out a 1929-style bust The 10-year spiked to 5.33% on the CPI surprise, then dropped to 5.04% within 24 hours after a producer-price number that should have sent it the other way. George Gammon of Rebel Capitalist says that only makes sense if the long end sees demand destruction coming, and his new comparison is the one nobody wants: "If it's a 1929, you can't see it coming because you just get that right hook from Tyson." The Buffett Indicator sits near 245% against 130% in 1929. Diesel is already $6 to $7 and heads toward $10 if oil reaches $140, and an economy propped up by asset prices and AI capex has no Fed put left. George's answer for a 401(k) is a 200-day moving average and a willingness to sit in cash, because set-it-and-forget-it investing is over. @GeorgeGammon

🇦🇱 ALBANIAN CROWDS KEEP HOLDING the line in Tirana night after night as the protests refuse to die What began as anger over the development of the Kushner resort in the coastal area and the flamingos there has turned into bigger street battles, with students and others joining in, demanding the government step down. The longer it runs, the harder it gets to call this a small local dispute. Writer: Lucas t.co/N9CcLEzJ8Q

🇮🇩 Brazilian woman caught smuggling  8 POUNDS of LIQUID COCAINE into Bali. Airport footage shows police inspecting her luggage and uncovering cocaine disguised as everyday personal-care products. Police said the 36-year-old told investigators she was promised $50,000 to deliver the drugs to someone on the island. If convicted, she could face life imprisonment or the death penalty under Indonesian law. No executions in years, but the country still threatens drug smugglers with the firing squad. Literally. Source: Globo / Writer: Marie t.co/jmTbjuC10y

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Witkoff carries a new Ukraine peace plan from Oslo to Putin in St. Petersburg tomorrow... and Zelensky just offered to stop hitting Russian refineries if Moscow stops hitting his grid The Oslo room held Zelensky, the leaders of Norway and Finland, the E4, the EU and NATO, and a US official says Kyiv "brought forward new ideas" and everyone left with "strong alignment at the working level." Kushner dialed in sick and, per one source, was "very direct" on the refinery strikes, which is the line Trump has repeated every day since the diesel deal. Then Zelensky gave him the answer: a refinery ceasefire for a grid ceasefire. That's the same offer Wicker begged Trump to take from Kyiv on Sunday, and it's now the thing Witkoff can put in front of Putin with Washington's name on it. Putin has refused a three-way meeting with Zelensky all year, and Moscow has spent the diesel windfall firing 16 ballistic missiles a night at a country with "a couple" of Patriots left.

🇫🇷📊 Le Pen is WINNING EVERY tested runoff in the latest French poll, and the gap keeps GROWING after the recent riots A major survey that started the same night as the October 17-18 violence just came out. She sits at 34-38% in the first round and clears every head-to-head they tried, from 56% against Philippe up to 68% against Mélenchon. When the numbers show her lead expanding in the weeks after streets got set on fire, it suggests many voters had already decided which side they trust to restore order.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Daily news recap: Tehran is betting it can outlast Trump by waiting out the midterms... and that bet could backfire badly. Iran figures the vote is its best weapon, but the weeks after November 3 are exactly when Washington would have the most room to strike. Tehran is already warning what happens if it does: “We do not dismiss the possibility of war this time. The US will face very serious problems and the world will experience a major energy crisis should war renew.” That’s when Tehran finds out whether its bet pays off or blows up in its face. @WeTheBrandon

🇷🇸 Serbia's ex-President Vučić discussed what he told Putin before resigning. “I want to show that [I can] win even without a position, like an ordinary citizen.” Vučić stepped down from Serbia’s presidency on Sept. 27, ahead of the Oct. 25 parliamentary elections. It allows him to bypass term limits and run for prime minister. As for winning as an “ordinary citizen,” that’s impossible when you’ve already been the head of state.

🇺🇸 RFK Jr. says the Trump admin is FINALLY opening a regulated path for peptides so Americans can stop rolling the dice on Chinese gray-market vials. Americans spend BILLIONS buying them online, often without knowing what’s inside or whether the facilities were inspected. The plan is to let U.S. pharmacies produce them under real oversight, with known purity and domestic sourcing. This is practical freedom of choice, basically letting people access what they want without the blind risks of the gray market. Writer: Lucas t.co/HyaX0iH83C

🇺🇸 Trump says Democrats want to "extinguish Western civilization" with 14 days to the midterms... and House Republicans already know the chamber is gone The post is the closing argument: open borders, power plants shut, criminals loose, Palestinian flags up. Joe Walsh, a former Tea Party congressman who left MAGA eight years ago and still talks to hundreds of those voters daily, used to run that same scare the base play himself, and he's asking whether it still works. His former Republican colleagues in the House have told him the chamber is done, and the voters who were supposed to save it are checking out: "They're demoralized. The hardcore MAGA, like, I expect a lot of them to stay home, period." The Senate is a coin flip with the top five or six races inside the margin of error, and JD Vance has to hug Trump for two more years to win a nomination that Ted Cruz will fight him for, so the real 2028 contest starts the morning after November 3. @WeTheBrandon @WalshFreedom
