A private geospatial intelligence firm said it examined 40 missile and drone attacks against Saudi Arabia by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in #Yemen and militias in Iraq between July 1 and Oct. 19. In every case, the firm found the same pattern of Russian government and military satellites orbiting above the areas for days before and after.
The findings illustrate how Russia is believed to be helping Iran and its allies in the region target Saudi Arabia’s oil and military infrastructure in attacks that have helped raise global energy prices.
Three officials, including one from Saudi Arabia and another in the top ranks of the Houthis, as well as a private intelligence analyst, told The Associated Press that the Houthis and other Iranian allies have benefited from Russian intelligence, as well as Chinese capabilities. Iranian advisers in the field analyzed and transferred the intelligence to their allies, according to AP reporting.

Number of Journalists killed in wars:
Vietnam: 63 journalists in 20 years.
World War II: 67 journalists in 7 years.
Gaza and Lebanon: 300+ journalists in 3 years.
This violates Article 79 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn’t apply to Israel.

The Curious Case of China's Dangerous Ability to Manufacture Things at Scale
China's Greatest Crime: Making Stuff People Want
The West has discovered a shocking new law of economics:
If China produces something successfully, it's overcapacity.
Let's review the official terminology.
•Britain flooding the world with textiles in the 19th century = Comparative Advantage™
•America dominating global manufacturing after WWII = Industrial Leadership™
•Japan exporting millions of cars = Economic Miracle™
•South Korea conquering shipbuilding = National Competitiveness™
China exporting EVs, batteries, solar panels and industrial equipment?
Overcapacity.
It's a fascinating scientific phenomenon. The exact same activity changes its name depending on who is doing it.
Imagine if Olympic commentary worked this way:
Michael Phelps wins eight gold medals.
Headline:
"Remarkable swimming competitiveness."
Chinese swimmer wins eight gold medals.
Headline:
"Concerning overcapacity in gold medal winners. Are they doping?"
Calls grow for World Anti-Doping Agency to specifically investigate Chinese swimmers.
The funniest thing about the argument is that it can't decide whether China is a communist command economy or a capitalist free-for-all.
When Chinese firms succeed:
"Beijing controls everything!"
When Beijing tries to slow down local investment:
"Look, Beijing can't control anything!"
Pick a lane.
According to the latest theory, Xi Jinping wakes up every morning and personally approves every exported toaster.
"Comrades, after careful consultation with Marx, Engels, and the Central Committee, I have authorized the production of 37 additional air fryers."
Meanwhile, nobody asks the forbidden question:
If China has overcapacity, does somebody else have undercapacity?
Perhaps spending three decades shutting factories, outsourcing production, neglecting infrastructure, and convincing an entire generation that making PowerPoint slides is more important than making machine tools was not the master plan everyone imagined.
But that's a dangerous line of inquiry.
Much safer to blame the country that still manufactures things.
Notice how nobody complains about overcapacity in consulting.
Nobody says:
"The United States has produced 400,000 surplus management consultants and over 1,000,000 hedge fund managers"
"Europe suffers from excess capacity in regulatory paperwork."
"There are too many think tank reports and not enough washing machines."
No, only physical products count.
The truly remarkable achievement of modern economics is turning consumer preference into evidence of wrongdoing.
People buy Chinese EVs?
Suspicious.
People buy Chinese solar panels?
Very suspicious.
People buy Chinese batteries?
Extremely suspicious.
At no point does anyone consider the radical possibility that customers might simply like the products.
In the end, "overcapacity" increasingly sounds less like an economic diagnosis and more like emotional damage.
For decades economists taught:
Competition is good.
China took notes.
Now the lesson has been updated:
Competition is good, unless you're winning.
Coming soon to a newspaper near you:
•China has too many engineers.
•China has too many factories.
•China has too much electricity.
•China has too much high-speed rail.
•China has too many products people keep insisting on buying.
The horror.
Not since the invention of affordable consumer goods has humanity faced such a grave threat.

Ford blamed students for OSAP being "unsustainable." The truth: his government got scammed out of hundreds of millions, and now students are paying for it with new debt.
Students didn't break OSAP. Doug Ford did.

🚨 This is absolutely mind-boggling. What is happening in Ontario's real estate market?
Imagine buying a $1 million home. Your mortgage lender sends the funds to a lawyer to complete the transaction and pay off the seller's existing mortgage.
Except the mortgage never gets paid off. The money disappears.
According to an Ontario judge, this happened across 25 real estate transactions involving more than $18 MILLION in mortgage funds.
Not a single mortgage was properly discharged using those funds.
Now THREE GTA law firms have been placed into receivership amid allegations of mishandling client money.
The judge warns this could be just the "tip of an iceberg."
How deep does this go? Where were the regulators?

Her mother was Jayne Mansfield, one of the biggest blonde stars of the 1950s and 1960s. Jayne was only 34 when her car struck a truck on a highway. She did not survive the crash, but all three children in the back seat did. The youngest was a little girl named Mariska, born on January 23, 1964. She would grow up with no memory of the night that changed her family forever.
After the crash Mariska was raised by Mickey Hargitay and his wife Ellen. Mickey, a Hungarian-born bodybuilder who won the Mr. Universe title in 1955, helped create a quiet stable home for the children in California. Wherever Mariska went people already knew her mother’s name. She eventually chose to pursue acting herself.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s she worked for more than a decade taking small roles. Then in 1999 NBC launched *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*. Mariska was cast as Detective Olivia Benson. Soon real survivors began writing to Olivia Benson. They shared experiences they had never told anyone else. One letter came from a 15-year-old girl who said her own father had been abusing her since she was 11. Mariska began researching the real numbers behind the stories. She realized her fame could give people a way to speak up.
In 2004 she founded the Joyful Heart Foundation to help survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. She married actor Peter Hermann. Their family grew. In 2010 her foundation made the rape kit backlog its top priority. It pushed for testing and helped support a federal program to clear old kits. In 2017 she testified before Congress. By then $131 million in federal grants had gone to 25 states and 30 states had passed some form of rape kit reform.
In 2025 Mariska made a film about her mother called *My Mom Jayne*. She revealed that Mickey Hargitay was not her biological father, but she said, “I’m Mickey Hargitay’s daughter. That is not a lie.” The little girl who survived the crash built a life beyond her famous mother’s shadow and turned the letters she received into real help for survivors.

Cannabis is now Canada's fifth-largest cash crop!
According to new Statistics Canada data, cannabis generated more than $3 billion in farm receipts in 2025, up from just $94.8 million in 2016, surpassing traditional crops like barley, lentils, durum wheat and tobacco.
Cannabis is now the number one cash crop in five provinces, including British Columbia, and accounts for nearly 6% of Canada's total crop receipts.
The industry's economic impact extends far beyond the farm, with annual legal cannabis sales exceeding $5 billion and the sector contributing nearly $11.6 billion to Canada's GDP in 2025.
Just eight years after legalization, these numbers demonstrate how cannabis has become an agricultural and economic powerhouse, and why governments need to recognize its importance by supporting the industry with fair taxation and sensible regulations.

BREAKING: AMEN! Rep. Jamie Raskin says that future historians will say that this "miserable period" really started when MAGA voters chose to ignore all of the women that Trump sexually harassed and abused.
Our country went off the cliff after that...
"Her mother sided with the rapist stepfather and Vivek Ramaswamy made an ad about it. JD Vance didn't hesitate or flinch in the same news cycle that it comes out," MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace said, setting the stage for the discussion. "He doubles down. He said, run the ad harder, run the ad longer, put more money behind it. Trump said the same. What does it say about the culture around these men?"
Ramaswamy's vile ad featured the mother of his Democratic opponent Amy Acton urging voters to reject her daughter at the ballot box. He dumped millions into the ad, despite the fact that Acton's mother previously sided with Acton's stepfather, who raped her. Vivek and Vance's defense of the ad has been disgusting, and proves that these Republican men view women as nothing more than disposable objects.
"Well, it's completely contaminated and toxic, and you know, when historians look back on this miserable period of our history, they might say that the first problem was disregarding all of those women who told us back in 2016 that they had been sexually harassed or assaulted by Donald Trump," said Raskin.
"But he got elected even after he was adjudicated civilly responsible for sexually penetrating and attacking E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in a department store in New York City," he continued. "And there are there are reports in the report that we just released, the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee.
"There are accounts by specific survivors and victims which very much resemble this, that is at a kind of public event or public place, cornering someone in something like a dressing room or a hotel room and then sexually attacking them," said Raskin. "And that's precisely what Beatrice Keul says in her account of what took place back then."
A new report released by Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee revealed yesterday that former Miss Switzerland Beatrice Keul alleged that Trump raped her at the Plaza Hotel in New York in 1993. Not only that, but Jeffrey Epstein introduced himself to her as Trump's best friend and offered to arrange for her to travel to Mar-a-Lago. The report states that the two predators used the "Donald J. Trump American Dream Pageant" as a "hunting ground" to prey on young women and girls.
The new allegation, as horrifying as it is, is unfortunately unsurprising. We have long known that Trump is an unrepentant rapist in addition to being a pedophile. His voters chose to ignore those facts because they were so excited by his racist rhetoric and cruelty. Now, they're paying the price because (surprise, surprise!), the sociopathic, serial rapist isn't actually interested in improving the lives of average Americans. He's getting richer while the country burns.
"So look, the evidence is certainly enough to justify an investigation," said Raskin of Keul's accusation. "It's overwhelmingly likely it's enough to justify going to a grand jury to see if a grand jury agrees. But it certainly is not reconcilable in any way with sweeping the whole matter under the rug. And I just want to thank these survivors, these victims of these terrible events when they were mostly girls. Some of them were young women, but mostly they were girls. They were minors."
"For coming forward and hanging tough and saying this really happened and the country's got to pay attention to it," he went on. "So my responsibility is the ranking member in the House Judiciary Committee and our responsibility as Democrats on the Judiciary Committee is to make certain that the Department of Justice is not able to sweep this under the rug."
"And we also show evidence in this report about how the White House was actually calling all the shots and was essentially dictating or editing the statement that there was nothing to see here and that there was no basis for further investigation," added Raskin. "And it's just scandalous that that took place. In fact, the White House had to order them to use Department of Justice and FBI letterhead because they didn't want to. Nobody wanted to be associated with this extraordinary act of cover up in the service of Donald Trump and against the service of justice and the rule of law."
Accountability is coming. After the midterms, Raskin will get sweeping subpoena powers and you can be damn sure he'll put them to use!
Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecution!

Salt-N-Pepa sold more than 15 million records.. waited more than 35 years for copyright law to hand their masters back.. and when they asked for them, their music disappeared from Spotify and Apple Music.
Push It, Shoop, Whatta Man. Decades of hits, and the duo does not own the recordings.
"Fans are like, where's the music?" says Cheryl James, known as Salt.
Salt-N-Pepa are Cheryl James and Sandra Denton. Universal Music Group controls their masters.
Under copyright law, she says, recordings revert to the artists after 35 years.
The court record:
1986: Hot, Cool & Vicious, the debut album one fan now tells her she plays "every single day."
More than 35 years later: the duo files the paperwork to take the recordings back. "We did all the right things," she says.
2025: Salt-N-Pepa sue Universal to get their masters.
Universal's answer: a stipulation it says stops the rights from reverting.
Then the catalog comes off streaming.
The case for Salt-N-Pepa: the law sets a clock, the clock ran out, the paperwork was filed. "It's only fair that we get it back."
The case for Universal: the label points to the terms of the deal and says the reversion does not apply to these records.
Salt says the fight is bigger than one duo: "We're also fighting for other women, other artists."
Then the twist.
The man behind their early records was Herbie, the producer for the Idol Makers. Salt was his girlfriend, learning in the studio next to him.
She wrote and produced Expression herself. It went platinum.
She says she still felt she couldn't call herself a producer.
Now her solo album, Salty and Lit, is coming out independently.
In the video below, asked about the dispute with UMG, Salt says: "They're just stalling, using it as an excuse not to give us back our music."
Should a decades-old contract outweigh a law written to give artists their work back?
