Periodic reminder that, during the Trump regime, any statement by a US official has better than even odds of being absolute bullshit, maybe 75-80%, except:
- Ambassador/Cabinet/WH staff 80-90%
- VP or CBP/ICE 90-95%
- POTUS 99.9999%

So sorry to hear that Walter Koenig has passed away. I knew Walter to be a very sincere, friendly, and no-nonsense man. He took his craft seriously and I very much respected him for that. He had the gift of listening to you and responding with sensitivity and wisdom. RIP Walter.

This is what actual “lawfare” looks like.
Trump’s budget lawyers only know mob playbooks.
Intimidate and drown in paperwork.
They don’t need to win - just to make opposing him expensive and highly visible.
Comey's attorney Pat Fitzgerald issues a new statement after he was charged again:
"For the third time in little more than one year, the Department of Justice has attempted to charge Mr. Comey with a federal crime. Mr. Comey steadfastly maintains his innocence.
In September 2025, the Department of Justice used a person who was not actually a United States Attorney to seek an Indictment that was not actually shown to the grand jury. And it charged Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit. That case was promptly and properly dismissed.
In April 2026, the Department of Justice filed charges in the Eastern District of North Carolina concerning Mr. Comey’s posting of a photograph of seashells spelling '8647.'"
We will not comment beyond our filings in that case.
This most recent case involves an October 5, 2016 New York Times article that two different teams of prosecutors investigated during the first Trump administration. Both times the Government determined that no charges should be brought against anyone. Now, ten years after the article was published, the Government filed an 'Information' against Mr. Comey that was not approved by a judge nor issued by a grand jury. It purports to charge Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit.
We are gratified that United States District Judge Trevor McFadden has ordered this matter unsealed. Mr. Comey will fight these charges vigorously and in the open."

Orban's government agreed to provide Russia with the content of private NATO conversations and documents. That's not hype.

We join Star Trek fans in mourning the loss of actor Walter Koenig. He joined the cast of the original Star Trek television series in its second season as Russian navigator Pavel Chekov, a key member of the Enterprise crew. Koenig portrayed Chekov in two seasons of the original series and all six of the original series major motion pictures.

Alberta separatists are exploring their options after losing the referendum.
Court challenges? No.
Another vote? No.
Armed confrontation, uprisings and wiping out entire cities? That's the ticket!

Just to be absolutely clear

It has not concluded. But, in order to overcome social media platform censorship, there is also a work-around. See announcement tomorrow, 10/26.

For the record, lecturing an Augustinian Pope on the meaning of the Just War theory first promulgated by St. Augustine is not going to end well. 🤦♂️
🚨 BREAKING:
Mike Johnson says the Pope deserved what happened to him: "Any religious leader has the right to say whatever they want, but obviously, if you wade into politics, you should expect a political response, and I think the Pope has gotten some of that. I was a little surprised by his statement that 'warriors don't hear Jesus' prayers' or something like that. There's something called the 'Just War' doctrine."

Russian operatives set fire to a Romanian arms factory a month ago states Romanian intelligence services.
Source #2 below.
BREAKING NEWS: Romania’s domestic intelligence service (SRI) and the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) attribute last month’s fire at the Carfil factory to an act of sabotage carried out by the Russian Federation.
Carfil Brașov is an arms manufacturing facility. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first case of sabotage publicly attributed to the Russian Federation in Romania.

So the First Lady’s rep is spreading Russian disinformation. Once upon a time, this would’ve been a major scandal.
Exclusive Senior Adviser to First Lady Melania Trump Marc Beckman claims Russian kids are being kidnapped too #BothSides
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There is no evidence that Ukraine has kidnapped Russian children.UN investigation concluded that Russia’s deportation, transfer and disappearance of Ukrainian children constitute war crimes

🇷🇺The LaRouche/Promethean model follows a pattern: there’s always “something big” about to happen. British intel’s always about to be exposed…
This creates an addictive information loop that keeps followers engaged while distracting from actual, documented, historically verified

What could go wrong?
Anthropic just filed to go public.
Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions:
1.) AI could cause human extinction.
2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors.
3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown.
4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception.
5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior.
6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions.
7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth.
8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts.
9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control.
10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm.
These are disclosures from the company building the technology.

MAGA's man in Latin America hired a hitman to kill his girlfriend. He also said he would "take down" the Mexican president. He's since been arrested, but now the attorney prosecuting him has been arrested by the US DEA.

Putin needs war and has no intention of stopping. All of Russia’s contradictory and spurious statements to different audiences are distractions and should be ignored. Watch what he does, not what he says.
Появляется всё больше подробностей об интриге Путина, с расчётом на реализацию которой он согласился возобновить переговоры между США, Украиной и РФ. В Кремле начали говорить, что Европа должна быть включена в этот процесс и, более того, её участие будет иметь «решающее значение для достижения соглашения».
Источники издания The Telegraph говорят, что истинная цель Москвы — использовать следующий раунд переговоров для получения уступок по вопросу расширения НАТО. «Вероятно, Путин потребует сократить военное присутствие НАТО в Европе до уровня 1997 года — то есть до того, как бывшие страны Восточного блока начали вступать в альянс», — говорится в публикации.
По сути, это возвращение к тому самому печально известному «ультиматуму Лаврова», который Москва выдвинула накануне большой войны против Украины. Именно тогда Кремль потребовал «собирать манатки» и уходить из Восточной Европы. Это очередное подтверждение того, о чём я уже неоднократно писал. Путин хочет продолжать войну, а переговоры он будет торпедировать хождением по кругу, постоянно возвращаясь к своим безумным требованиям образца 2021–2022 годов.
Западу он будет рассказывать о недопустимости расширения НАТО, украинцам — морочить голову «денацификацией и демилитаризацией», выдвигая всё новые территориальные и политические требования. Читать безграмотные лекции о половцах и печенегах и бесконечно лгать.

you gotta help me spread this message!
Rob Evans, AKA @hotscots_app, is part of the Microsoft cuts. The future for his family just became very uncertain. This man built Hots and Cots not for money, but for love of Soldiers.
Let’s see if we can get him hired!
#HireRobEvans
Please share!
Hots&Cots has never been my full-time job. It’s been nights, weekends, and vacation days.
My day job has been almost 13 years at Microsoft, most recently as a senior iOS engineer. I’m part of this round.
So I’m open to two things:
* A full-time senior iOS role, building apps or the platforms behind them.
* Contract work. If you need an iOS, Android, or web app built end to end, that’s how I built Hots&Cots.
DMs are open. Hots&Cots isn’t going anywhere.
