🇵🇸🇮🇱 Imagine being attacked just for trying to get home. That's what a Palestinian family faced in the West Bank when they encountered young Israeli settlers known as Hilltop Youth. Local resident Hassan Faraj was headbutted in the face and struck again, leaving him with a fractured nose. We're talking about a family trying to reach their own home. Something most of us do every day without a second thought. Nobody should have to wonder whether they'll make it through their own neighborhood without being assaulted. For many Palestinian families in the West Bank this is a daily. Writer: Oliver t.co/u7bxd4dv66

I think Trump might be underestimating how easily the Yemen war could become America's next problem. The Houthis have now brought their attacks to Riyadh's main airport, killing civilians INCLUDING AN AMERICAN. Saudi Arabia wants a serious response. Trump says the U.S. might join. Here's the problem though: America has already spent years striking Houthi targets without eliminating their ability to launch missiles. What exactly would another round of American airstrikes accomplish that the previous ones didn't? And what happens if they fail? Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 Deputy Director Matt Quinn: “Swarms are a huge problem and a big threat. I'd love to tell you the swarm problem is solved. It's not” The challenge isn't just stopping one drone at a time. They now have to think about dozens arriving together, from different directions, with only seconds to respond. Literal nightmare scenario! Writer: Oliver t.co/TfTwv04wdn

🇺🇸🇸🇦 The FAA is now warning American airlines that flying over Saudi Arabia could be dangerous at any altitude. The warning follows Houthi strikes on Riyadh's international airport that killed 13 people and wounded more than 300. The FAA is also concerned about interference with aircraft navigation systems, and Riyadh's airport remains closed. What's particularly worrying is that Saudi Arabia's main international gateway is now facing the kind of aviation risks the kingdom has spent years trying to contain. Delta is supposed to launch direct Atlanta-Riyadh flights on October 23. That decision just became considerably more complicated. Source: Reuters / Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 The Secret Service just showed 60 Minutes its new “Drone Hunter.” It uses AI and radar to track hostile drones, then fires a net to capture them midair. A fascinating glimpse of how presidential protection is changing. A threat that once required sophisticated military equipment can now come from a relatively cheap commercial drone. And the Secret Service is preparing to literally catch it out of the sky. Writer: Oliver t.co/Udh12IDHRM

🇺🇸 Holy hell, look at the destruction in Long Beach, California 🤯 Massive waves are smashing into beachfront homes, ripping apart decks and leaving parts of the buildings dangerously exposed. Some of these houses look one wave away from collapsing into the ocean! Writer: Sol t.co/rGw0qMowDM t.co/k2yXk6yJsG

🇺🇲 The Secret Service is training nearly FIVE TIMES as many people as it was last year. Deputy Director Matthew Quinn says they've gone from roughly 200 trainees to 942. That's an enormous jump. And frankly it's hard to hear those numbers without thinking about Butler... Trump nearly lost his life, and a spectator was killed. Two others were seriously wounded. The Secret Service has been struggling with staffing shortages FOR YEARS. They didn't suddenly discover that problem after Butler. So why are we only seeing numbers like this now?

🇫🇷 France’s so-called “student riots” have some VERY interesting backers. An investigation links the protests to a coalition of roughly 50 organizations, fewer than a third of which are classified as youth groups. The rest include labor unions, communist and socialist organizations, and pro-Palestinian activists. Some groups reportedly have ties to Neville Roy Singham, the CHINA-based billionaire accused of financing similar activist networks IN THE U.S. I've said it before: this all looked way too organized...

🇺🇸 Steve Hanke: The dollar isn't dying, but Washington is making it vulnerable I've been hearing a lot about the end of the dollar lately, so I was interested to hear Steve Hanke push back against that argument. His answer was surprisingly emphatic. The dollar remains extraordinarily strong, and Hanke believes America's AI investment boom is actually helping keep it that way. Foreign investors want exposure to American technology companies. To buy those assets, they need dollars. And with roughly 60–65% of global stock market capitalization concentrated in the United States, replacing the dollar is much harder than the headlines suggest. But Hanke isn't dismissing the risks. He thinks Washington is undermining its own currency through sanctions, tariffs and uncontrolled government spending. China is buying gold and building alternative financial systems, but its capital controls make the yuan a difficult replacement. The euro isn't making much progress either. Hanke's point is that a currency doesn't lose its global dominance simply because its government makes mistakes. It needs a credible challenger. And right now, despite America's growing debt and increasingly aggressive economic policies, he doesn't see one. @steve_hanke

🇺🇸 The Secret Service is looking to Ukraine for lessons on how to protect the American president. And it makes sense. Ukraine has shown just how dangerous cheap drones can become, even against heavily defended targets. The agency says it's preparing for drone attacks and developing its own drone capabilities, drawing directly from what has been happening on the battlefield. Now a small drone can approach from above, potentially carrying explosives, and give security teams only seconds to react. The Secret Service is having to rethink what a secure perimeter even means.

🇺🇸 This rocket pretty much turned night into day over Florida. This is Space Shuttle Columbia taking off from Kennedy Space Center back in 2002, with astronauts heading up to fix and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope. The engines were so bright they lit up the clouds and sky like a second sunrise. Imagine watching all that from a nearby beach. Definitely the kind of thing you'd happily lose a night's sleep for. 🚀 Writer: Daniyal t.co/nRyABUfKeo

🇺🇸 The threats against Trump's life have gotten so serious that his own Secret Service director is admitting the danger has escalated. Sean Curran said that footage of a funeral showed MASSIVE banners calling for Trump's death. Asked whether the threat level had increased, his answer was immediate: “Absolutely.” And when pressed on what the Secret Service is doing differently, Curran made it clear those details are staying behind closed doors.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis appear to be tightening their grip on Taiz The latest battlefield map shows just how much ground Saudi-backed forces may have lost. According to Islamic World News, Houthi forces have captured Al-Misrakh, including Al-Kalaibah and Najd Al-Qasim, along with the road connecting the district to southern Taiz. That would leave Saudi-backed forces holding only a narrow stretch of mountainous territory around Jabal Al-Arous and Jabal Al-Sabr south of the city. And those mountains matter. They overlook important approaches to Taiz, making them valuable defensive positions. If these territorial claims are confirmed, Saudi-backed forces would be facing an increasingly difficult position on a front they have fought over for years. The reported advances have not yet been independently verified. Writer: Oliver t.co/lQhjIuq4LS

🇮🇱🇺🇸 Ben Shapiro tells a TPUSA crowd that, in Jewish tradition, non-Jews are expected to FOLLOW 7 basic Noahide LAWS No idolatry. No blasphemy. No murder. No sexual immorality. No theft. No eating flesh from a living animal. Establish courts of justice. 5 minutes earlier everyone was arguing about American politics. Now the Q&A has somehow reached post-Flood universal law. 🤦 Writer: Oliver t.co/BHsGqcC8YR

🇺🇸 Trump's former LEAD SECRET SERVICE agent just admitted he requested additional security resources before the Butler ASSASSINATION attempt. Sean Curran, now Secret Service Director, was asked whether those requests were denied. “I did request additional resources, and I'll leave it at that.” He wouldn't answer the question. More than 2 years after a gunman opened fire on Trump, who decided what security his detail would receive, and WHY? Writer: Oliver t.co/nqORMxJvWe

🇺🇸🇵🇸🇮🇱 A Palestinian activist in Chicago is openly calling for Israel to be replaced by a single state called PALESTINE. The founder of the U.S. Palestinian Community Network wants “one democratic secular state of Palestine” covering Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank. He also insists on the right of return for Palestinian refugees and their descendants, while promising equal rights for everyone, including Jews. Writer: Sol t.co/SG4iUJmG0l

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia’s health minister visited the hospital to check on people hurt in the Riyadh airport attack. The young man in this video is one of them, and Fahd Al-Jalajel stopped by his bed to check on him. He’s one of dozens injured when Houthi strikes hit airports in Riyadh and Abha last week, attacks that also left people dead. Behind all the talk of missiles and payback are people like him, who have nothing to do with any of this and just want to get on with their lives. Here’s hoping he, and everyone hurt, makes a full recovery. Writer: Daniyal t.co/16CFtSzKyB

Lebanese security forces just intercepted roughly 300 KILOGRAMS of explosives being transported through Dahr al-Baidar. Two men were arrested. Military and judicial sources have linked them to Hezbollah, although other sources dispute that connection. But here's what I WANT TO KNOW WHERE were those explosives going? WHO was supposed to receive them? And HOW MANY similar shipments have made it through? Lebanon keeps talking about restoring state sovereignty. This is exactly the kind of investigation that will show whether that means anything. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Amazon is reportedly in talks to buy AI startup Decart for about $7 billion. Decart is a young Israeli company that makes AI that can create and edit video live, as it happens, with potential uses in gaming, online shopping and training robots. Amazon already knows it well, since Decart’s tech is offered to Amazon’s cloud customers and runs on Amazon’s own AI chips. That $7 billion would be a big jump from the $4 billion Decart was valued at back in May. Not bad for a company that’s only 3 years old. Source: Reuters/ Writer: Daniyal

🇸🇦🇺🇸 The damage to Saudi Arabia's oil infrastructure could be far worse than people realize. I've been trying to understand just how much oil Saudi Arabia could be losing as its energy facilities come under attack. Chris Martenson pointed me toward something that deserves far more attention than the fires themselves. Using NASA satellite fire data, he identified an unusually intense blaze at the Khurais oil processing facility, with readings exceeding 550 megawatts of fire radiative power. The concern isn't simply that a facility is burning. Khurais processes oil from a field producing roughly 1.8 million barrels a day. It also handles water injection needed to maintain pressure underground. If those systems are seriously damaged, Saudi Arabia can't necessarily redirect that production somewhere else. And nobody yet knows how long repairs could take. Martenson also raised another problem: the world isn't just losing crude oil. It's losing access to refined products like diesel and jet fuel, while damaged tankers and slower ship-to-ship transfers are making deliveries harder. That's why he's so worried about another American escalation against Iran. A prolonged shutdown of critical Gulf energy infrastructure could turn an already severe supply disruption into something much harder to reverse. And right now, the extent of the damage remains unclear. @chrismartenson

🇸🇦 CCTV footage of Saturday's attack on Riyadh airport. You can see just how powerful the blast was. There's a bright flash, and within seconds the whole place is filled with smoke. At least 12 people were killed, including Saudis, Bangladeshis and a U.S. citizen, and more than 300 were injured. And this was already the third time the airport had been attacked that week.

🇺🇸 A new controversy has erupted around James Talarico's nearly 2 week absence from the Texas Senate campaign trail. Released audio of a call purportedly involving an employee at an Ohio mental health facility appears to suggest someone named James Talarico had recently been discharged. His campaign strongly denies the allegation. Spokesman JT Ennis said: “This is a lie designed to promote a pathetic conspiracy theory” He's insisting Talarico was home in Austin recovering from the flu. The facility has declined to confirm or deny whether he was ever a patient. And that's where the evidence currently stands. Talarico returned to public campaigning on October 9.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Why has the U.S. Army issued A NEW FIELD GUIDE teaching American soldiers how to IDENTIFY IRANIAN TROOPS troops and their weapons? It covers everything from Iranian-made Masaf-2 rifles to RPGs and machine guns. Iran's regular army has an estimated 350,000 ground troops, most of whom remain intact despite months of U.S. and Israeli strikes. Trump says there won't be another strike before the midterms, but the Army is making sure its soldiers know what Iranian forces look like on the ground. That doesn't mean an invasion is coming necessarily. It does show the military is PREPARING FOR POSSIBILITIES beyond another round of airstrikes. Source: Fox News / Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Trump announced a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but forgot one tiny detail: Putin hasn't agreed to it. The WH wants Ukraine to stop bombing Russian oil refineries, even though Kyiv has just ONE refinery of its own, already battered by Russian strikes. Meanwhile, Moscow keeps attacking Ukraine's power plants, and Washington is threatening to cut off weapons and intelligence if Zelensky refuses to cooperate. So Russia keeps bombing, Ukraine gets threatened, and Trump calls it a ceasefire. What a deal 🤣 Source: Axios / Writer: Sol

I'm struggling to understand what Trump is actually getting out of this Russia DIESEL DEAL Russia has reportedly promised 1.8 MILLION TONNS of diesel through December. Sounds like a lot, right? Until you realize analysts expect it to make BARELY A DENT in the global shortage. Meanwhile, Ukraine is being pressured to STOP HITTING Russian REFINERIES, one of the few things that's actually hurting Putin's war economy. So they're giving Russia relief, taking pressure off its refineries, and getting very little cheaper diesel in return. What exactly is the win here? Writer: Oliver
