We are fighting global antisemitic incitement, but when it comes from within us, it’s simply intolerable.

Iran's Tasnim:

Iran has repeatedly said it does not seek negotiations for an agreement with the U.S. government.

Trump continues making false claims about a deal with Iran.

Zelensky:

If our partners are ready to ensure that Russia genuinely refrains from striking our electricity system, other energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and food supply routes, then, of course, we are ready to ensure a corresponding halt to our strikes.

Zelensky:

Ukraine is not convinced that Russia is willing to abide by any agreement.

We expect specifics from our partners.

Government exists to serve the people.

In the wealthiest city, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, we will not waver on the commitment we hold to those we serve, the commitment we hold to one another.

We will stand with immigrant New Yorkers every step of the way.

Trump:

I’ve just received a Report that the United States is producing more Exquisite and Elite Weapons than at any time in our History.

They are being delivered on a daily basis to our Forces in the Middle East, and beyond.

Our Defense Company Factories are moving 24/7, while at the same time building, on average, 4 to 5 largescale brand new Plants, each!

A primary focus of this production has been Patriots, THAAD Systems, Tomahawks, and other Standard Missile Systems, of which we already have large numbers in stock.

Trump:

Oil is flowing through the Hormuz Strait. The Countries of the World, which have been no help to us whatsoever, should, and will, reimburse the United States of America when this SCAM Confligration is all over.

We are doing it much more for others, than we are for ourselves, and we have been for Generations!

Saudi Arabia is seeking to increase oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz after attacks forced the shutdown of its key East-West pipeline, which bypasses the waterway.

The Kingdom had already raised Hormuz shipments in early September and is now trying to boost them further.

Trump:

I hope everyone realizes that price increases throughout America were caused by Sleepy Joe Biden and the Biden Administration, not by “TRUMP.”

Even Oil was higher under Biden than it is right now, and we prevented Iran from having a Nuclear Weapon!

With the temporary exception of Oil, prices are coming down sharply, and Oil will drop like a rock as soon as the Military Conflict with Iran is over, and that will not be long.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Iraqi PM Ali al-Zaidi said Iraq will not become a “launchpad for attacks” against its neighbours and can help “de-escalate tensions and open avenues for dialogue.”

Kirkiversary attendees:

If Islam takes over our country and you're a Christian, you're not allowed to fight for them. You have to pay them a yearly tax.

If they got military weapons in the mosque in Iran, what do they have here in the 3,000 mosques that we have on our land? Probably military grade weapons.

Their god's fake. Their god's probably Satan.

Islamic anything is just gang gang. It's just gangster stuff... If you try to quit, you're dead.

They came here to conquer with the ideology. They didn't come here to assimilate.

BIG: US Strategic Petroleum Reserve at its lowest since 1982 — down to 285 million barrels, about 40% of capacity.

Two massive drawdowns in four years.

Biden released ~180M barrels after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Trump released ~172M after the Iran war disrupted Hormuz.

The reserve went from ~415M barrels in early 2026 to 285M now.

NEW: AfD hits 30% in a national poll for the first time.

10 points ahead of Merz's CDU/CSU at 20%.

The party that got 20.8% in the 2025 federal election has gained nearly 10 points in 18 months while the governing coalition crumbles.

SPD at just 11%.

The "firewall" against AfD holds politically, but the numbers keep climbing.

NEW: Macklemore dropped from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after saying "Free Palestine" at MetLife.

Macklemore says Robert Kraft called Sheeran and rallied other stadium owners to give an ultimatum:

Drop him or lose the venues.

Macklemore's take:

If Ed Sheeran's tour was the biggest stage I was ever given, and those words got me kicked off, but it put the conversation back on Palestine — it was the most successful tour I've ever been on.

He says Sheeran told him the words "Free Palestine" were "hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with."

Macklemore responded there's no neutral position "between the oppressor and the oppressed."

Seven or eight stadium dates gone.

Neither Kraft nor Sheeran has confirmed or denied the ultimatum.

Saudi Crown Prince MbS is heading to Cairo tomorrow for talks with Sisi.

Agenda centers on Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb security, Houthi threats, Iranian attacks on Gulf states, and broader Iran war spillover.

Notably, Egypt joining the Mecca Defence Alliance (Saudi-Türkiye-Pakistan pact) is not on the table.
