WSJ: Sources from three countries confirm that the Trump Administration has advocated Viktor Orbán for the role of United Nations Secretary-General.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

If he offered anything in return for the money, even just conversations with his father-in-law, then he would have violated U.S. bribery laws and the foreign agent statute. trib.al/XZeWYh4

Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders. trib.al/iVl4J9l
Musk's own platform rebrands his call for Ukrainian capitulation to Russian invasion as "end to slaughter." He must be angling for the FIFA Peace Prize.

Kushner Phone Hack Reveals How Middle East Dictators Bought Him Off trib.al/2NT4jtL
Andrew McGowan retweeted
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

I was also a Captain in Afghanistan in the dismounted close combat role. I never got time off to go to Kabul HQ.
You are dishonest, disrespectful and dishonourable @PeteHegseth
You shame your country as @SecWar
Hegseth on Afghanistan:
I was a captain in Afghanistan, and we would go to the headquarters in Kabul, and there would be 50 flags at the headquarters.
It was a beautiful thing to see 50 different countries contributing to the NATO alliance and the ISAF mission there.
Except there were like maybe five that contributed. It was actually closer to one or two that, by the end, were actually involved in kinetic operations.
In fact, the ISAF patch, we would joke that it meant "I Saw Americans Fighting."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Over 1100 non-American soldiers from 31 US-allied countries were killed fighting in Afghanistan, approximately 1/3 of the total combat deaths.

You can’t really make this stuff up. So many soulless people - and no compensatory technical skills.
These Daily Mail stories aren’t just tabloid trash, they’re simply made up. Up and down the White House, everyone has been thoroughly impressed with Katie in just a few short days on the job. At the end of this second term, she’ll be remembered as one of the all-time greats.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Just after this post, Katie Zacharia resigned/was fired after being “encouraged” to step down by Trump nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/…
Hey, I just thought of something. Why don’t you call Kristi Noem and ask her for the $220 million she spent on a self-promoting ad campaign. I think that might count. Oh, and that set of fake PSA ads that Trump just ran. Try that too.
US has the poorest health outcomes of any high-income country, and among poorest in OECD. Lack of universal coverage, weak primary care infrastructure, high out-of-pocket costs, complex insurance system add to the nation’s poor performance. And all these jokers can do is this.
Healthcare fraud ran rampant in this country for too long, ignored by Democrats.
President Trump is taking action, eliminating hundreds of thousands of fraudulent duplicate
@CMSGov payments, saving billions.
The American people are finally getting their money back.
This dishonest drivel from @foxnewspolitics is extraordinary. The “bigger story” is how they can sleep at night.
Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico's viral hospital rumor has been debunked by time-stamped security footage reviewed by The New York Times — but the bigger story may be why his campaign sat on the evidence while the conspiracy theory exploded across social media for days.
Talarico disappeared from the campaign trail for nine days in early October, fueling rampant speculation that he had secretly traveled to an Ohio behavioral health center. His campaign maintained he was home with the flu, and security camera images from his Austin home now back that up. But GOP strategists and journalists are torching the campaign's response as "mind-numbing malpractice" for not releasing the footage sooner.
With Election Day just weeks away in one of the biggest Senate races in the country, the question has shifted from where Talarico was to why his team let the narrative spiral unchecked when they had the receipts the entire time.
