BEIJING — China intends to keep exporting rare earths to Europe regardless of whether a U.S. trade deal with Beijing gets extended past January.

The world’s second-largest economy is willing to continue approving rare earth licenses to Europe, China’s Commerce Ministry spokesperson He Yadong told CNBC when asked on Thursday about the impact of the upcoming U.S. deadline.

Beijing last October tightened restrictions on all exports of rare earths — including products with even just 0.1% of China-sourced rare earths. The move followed a new U.S. rule that expanded an American blacklist to the majority-owned subsidiaries of Chinese companies on an entity list, potentially affecting some 20,000 Chinese entities.

CBS News reports: Multiple relatives of Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar received grand jury subpoenas, as part of the ongoing criminal investigation into her family’s history for evidence of possible fraud and false statements in their immigration paperwork, sources familiar with the matter told CBS News. The subpoenas were issued on Friday, just days before Omar’s home in Washington, D.C., was searched early Monday morning by investigators from ICE’s investigative unit. Omar’s personal cell phone was taken by Homeland Security Investigations during the search, two sources told CBS News (CBS).

Bryant allegedly told Van Rootselaar: “Hallways also mean a lot of ways people can escape. Corners to turn. Wide open spaces means numbers.”

A Washington state trans-identified male charged with providing tactical advice, money, and livestream assistance to trans-identified Tumbler Ridge school shooter Jesse Van Rootselaar was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury. Van Rootselaar killed his mother and brother at their home in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, before going to the high school and opening fire on students there.

James Cody Bryant, 30, of Bellingham, faces one count of conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country in connection with the February 10 massacre in British Columbia, which left eight victims dead across two locations.

Bryant was initially charged through a criminal complaint supported by an FBI affidavit filed October 2 and was arrested October 6. The October 14 indictment brings the same charge, formally advancing the prosecution after a grand jury found probable cause. Bryant is scheduled for arraignment October 22 and faces up to life in prison if convicted.

ANALYSIS: Furries club hosts workshops on how to create ‘fursona,’ or animal persona

Student activity fees at the University of Arkansas went to a furries club and a group that hosted a “pride prom” with drag performers, according to university records recently obtained by The College Fix.

The records, which The Fix received through the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, show how the university’s student government allocated mandatory student activity fees to clubs and how much of that money the clubs spent during the 2025-2026 academic year.

Rebecca Morrison, the university’s public information officer, told The Fix via email that more than 400 student organizations operate on campus.

Every Registered Student Organization “is entitled and encouraged to apply for funding supported by student fees, with applications reviewed and approved by a student committee, and allocated by the student-directed ASG Office of Financial Affairs,” she stated in an email with the requested documents.

“DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS”: Blakeman Demolishes Hochul in Debate Showdown– gellerreport.com

The NY Post reported that Gov. Kathy Hochul was defensive and dismissive while drawing fiery attacks from Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman during Tuesday’s New York gubernatorial debate.

Blakeman slammed Gov. Kathy Hochul Tuesday during their sole face-to-face debate ahead of the November election, tearing into the incumbent over sanctuary policies he said were putting New Yorkers in danger.

While the incumbent looked like “a deer in headlights,” her GOP opponent gave an aggressive showing — repeatedly attacking Hochul over New York’s high energy costs, taxes, and rising antisemitism, Dr. Lillian Glass told The Post.Once the Democrats seized control of New York State, it’s become a one party state – much the way california and other blue state totalitarian ehllholes became.

In a free and fair election, common sense would carry the day—and Blakeman would carry New York.

Hochul’s defensive posture extended to taking long pauses before answering questions, frequently smiling and looking down at the podium, and smiling as Blakeman talked.

“There was also a lot of pause time where she had to take her time to manufacture an answer. Whereas Blakeman just went right to it and had answers right back to her and had accusations that were very, very straightforward towards her,” Glass said, praising the Long Island pol’s swipes.

Biden vs Trump Inflation Rates Expose Big Media Bias in Election Coverage– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

The stark difference in media treatment a worse average inflation rate under Biden received vs. the Armageddon-level coverage a retrospectively tamer inflation situation under Trump got was first exposed via an analysis conducted by MRC Business and CNSNews.

Now, just before the midterm elections this November, the tale of two inflation rates just got worse for the furiously spinning partisan journalists who covered them.

Using Bureau of Labor Statistics data, MRC Business and CNSNews researchers analyzed inflation rates across the seven-month midterm election season span of the Iran War during President Donald Trump’s second year (March 2026—September 2026). For comparison, the data was then juxtaposed to the same timeframe during the midterm election season during President Joe Biden’s second year (March 2022 — September 2022). As MRC previously revealed, the disparity was massive, especially in light of the “transitory” media narrative voters were getting under Biden vs. the doom-and-gloom circling the Trump administration now.

For Trump, the average all-items inflation rate across the time period analyzed was 3.6 percent, and that’s counting the major price fluctuations undergirding the energy market rollercoaster-ride from the Strait of Hormuz conflict. For Biden, across the same time length with no international war, the all-items inflation average was a whopping 8.5 percent.

Trump Says Same-Name Dan Sullivan Candidacy Under Investigation, Calls It ‘Another Hoax by the Democrats’– slaynews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump says authorities are investigating the candidacy of an independent Alaska Senate challenger who shares a name with Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK), calling the situation a Democratic effort to siphon votes from the Republican incumbent.

Speaking to Fox News after an Alaska campaign rally Tuesday night, Trump said the matter was being reviewed.

However, the president declined to identify the investigation as federal.

“We are looking, I can’t say federal, but we are looking into it,” Trump said.

“It’s a disgrace,” he noted.

“We have, I call him the real Dan Sullivan, a great senator from Alaska.

“And in the race, they put somebody named Dan Sullivan who knows nothing about politics.

“His name happens to be Dan Sullivan.

“They even wanted to change his middle initial, which was different.

“They wanted to make it an S so that it could be exactly correct.

“I think it’s just terrible that they did it.”

Trump Blasts Same-Name Challenge

Trump argued that the independent challenger’s presence creates confusion in a race involving an established Republican senator.

“And actually, he got two points or something in the primary,” Trump added.

“The real Dan Sullivan won it, but … It’s a terrible thing.

“It’s another hoax by the Democrats.”

The president’s comments place fresh attention on the same-name candidacy as Alaska voters prepare to choose their next senator.

President Urges Republican Rival to Step Aside

Trump also addressed Alaska’s gubernatorial race, urging Republican Dave Bronson to withdraw and consolidate support behind his endorsed candidate, Bernadette Wilson.

Trump said Wilson’s stronger primary performance should have prompted other Republicans to leave the race.

“He doesn’t have to, but he should, because, frankly, he lost in the primary by substantial numbers to Bernadette,” Trump said.

“And I’m not involved that much in, you know, Alaska politics, other than I want to see Dan and Nick get in.

“But she won in the primaries, and the others should have dropped out.

“So now you have three Republicans running against one Democrat.

“And I don’t like that.

“I don’t like those odds very much.

“But there, she’s great, and maybe she’ll get in, but I thought I had an obligation to endorse her.”

Trump Defends Iran Campaign Against Peltola Criticism

The president also pushed back against former Rep. Mary Peltola (D-AK), the Democrat Senate candidate, after she criticized Sullivan’s support for the war in Iran.

Trump argued that higher gasoline prices are a “small price to pay” to prevent the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

“Can you imagine if they attacked our cities, and they attacked places where we are, including right here in Alaska?” Trump said.

“You would see turmoil far greater.

“We have a lot of oil flowing right now in the almost strait, we control it.

“The war is going to be over very, very soon.

“We’re going to have a big victory very shortly.

“Very, very shortly, and oil is going to come way, way down.

“Gasoline is going to come down to where it was before.”

He predicted that prices would fall as the conflict concludes, while emphasizing that preventing a nuclear-armed Iran remains the central objective.

“I had it down to $1.85 a gallon in some places like Iowa and a lot of places, actually,” Trump added.

“And I think we’re going to maybe even top those numbers.

“So you’re going to see it.

“But most importantly, Iran, the number-one state sponsor of terror, will never have a nuclear weapon.

“If they had one, you might not be standing here right now.”

Lankford Indicates That a Hezbollah Affiliate Is Supporting El-Sayed in Michigan – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Sen. James Lankford’s (R-Okla.) recent conversation with a Lebanese politician might have revealed yet another terrorist connection for Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed.

Notably, the terrorist who tried to cause a mass casualty event at a Jewish school and synagogue this year in West Bloomfield, Mich., was a Hezbollah affiliate whose brother was a commander in the jihad group. If Ayman Ghazali was able to come to live in Michigan in spite of his family and his affiliations, then it’s not shocking — though it is horrifying — that other Hezbollah operatives are living and agitating in Michigan, especially Dearborn.

After all, El-Sayed’s sister repeatedly discussed their family’s Muslim Brotherhood affiliation, so obviously being a Muslim jihadi is popular in Michigan now and for over a decade. In fact, there is a foundation in Michigan openly promoting terrorism against Israel on behalf of Hezbollah allies.

Hezbollah remains very powerful in Lebanon, not only by controlling territory but by having numerous plants in the military and government there. The Israeli government is the only one actively fighting Hezbollah at the present, so it is not surprising that Israeli officials have told Lankford they are worried about potential jihadi El-Sayed.

“I had several meetings with Israeli leaders, and I’ll go ahead and leave names out, but at the end of the meeting, they would quietly say to me, ‘Tell me what’s going to happen in the Michigan Senate race,’” the senator said after his trip to the Middle East, according to an October 12 piece on Cleveland Jewish News.

Nabih Berri, speaker of Lebanon’s Parliament and leader of Shiite Amal Movement, asked about the same race, the Oklahoma Republican said.

“Both sides were talking about the Michigan Senate race, the Shia leadership of Lebanon and the Jewish leadership of Israel,” he told reporters… Berri told Lankford that the Amal Movement recently founded an affiliate group in Michigan, where the Lebanese leader lived briefly and where some of his children were raised.

Legacy media and its GOP-E(lite) cohorts are running with a Wall Street Journal exclusive that centers around Texas Attorney General and Republican nominee for U.S. Senate Ken Paxton and his extramarital girlfriend Tracy Duhon taking a trip to Dubai for New Year’s Eve 2024.

Siskind is being deliberately hyperbolic here. There is one 30-second video, and if by “receipts” she means repeating what other Texas outlets have reported over the 23 years of Paxton’s political career, then, yeah.

According to the WSJ, Paxton celebrated in Dubai with two American Muslim physicians: Dr. Anosh Ahmed and Dr. Sameer Suhail. According to a 2025 Chicago Sun-Times exclusive, the physicians were hiding out in Dubai to escape the long arm of the law.

Dr. Anosh Ahmed and Dr. Sameer Suhail, entrepreneurs as well as medical doctors, had matching cars, a matching taste for luxury watches and matching condos at Trump Tower.

They also come from similar backgrounds, immigrating to the United States as children — Ahmed from Pakistan, Suhail from Jordan — and got their medical degrees from overseas schools and built images as businessmen flush with cash.

For more than a year, they’ve also been fugitives — living expensive lifestyles in Dubai while dodging accountability for the damage prosecutors say they caused the West Side’s Loretto Hospital, a safety-net facility serving the poorest Chicagoans.

Prosecutors say Ahmed and Suhail worked together to embezzle $15 million from Loretto, a taxpayer-funded hospital, and steered $19 million of hospital contracts to Suhail through “corrupt” means, including bribery.

Ahmed also is charged in a separate COVID-19 testing scheme prosecutors say defrauded the government of about $300 million.

Even satirical interviews can be especially brutal.

On Monday, Nigerian-American comedian, writer, and actress Ziwe Fumudoh, best known for turning celebrity interviews into polite interrogations, released one with socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Ziwe’s interviews have long specialized in making her subjects squirm, and Piker, with his online fame, leftist politics, and conspicuously comfortable lifestyle, offered her an unusually rich target.

Ziwe over the course of just a couple of minutes had Piker model his “communist-style” suit for the camera, like a performing monkey, before asking whether he had always aspired to be a champagne socialist. From there, the questions only got more awkward: his recent Oscars appearance, and the not-so-small matter of reconciling his politics with his $2.7 million California mansion.

To appreciate just how uncomfortable it gets, you really have to watch it.

“You kind of look like a communist,” Ziwe said to Piker, who wore a Mao Zedong style suit.

“Thank you. I got this in China,” Piker said.

“Really?”

“It’s the only tailored suit I own,” he added.

Socialism, Islam Are Both Religions Based On Pillaging The West– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:

France is on fire — again. Hundreds of French schools have closed for periods or remain shut down, and the rioting continues, even spreading to neighboring Belgium. Beginning with a faculty protest at Saint-Exupéry High School over budget cuts, students soon joined in and similar protests broke out across the country. To no one’s surprise, activists almost immediately co-opted these demonstrations, taking advantage of the situation and organizing “fiery but not so peaceful” protests in the streets.

As many have now observed, including President Trump, the rioters are largely Muslim immigrants and radical leftists. Thus far, nearly 7,000 rioters have been arrested, more than 1,000 have been injured, and one teenager has lost his hand while another has reportedly partially lost his sight in clashes with police.

As writer John Daniel Davidson recently argued, the current riots in France illustrate yet again the alliance of Islamists and communists, or the Red-Green Alliance: “This is the Red-Green alliance of the socialist/Antifa left and Muslim immigrants, operationalized to bring the country to its knees through widespread rioting ahead of national elections next year.” Despite their many differences, the two groups have united “to tear down western institutions and the Christian faith on which they were built.”

If history and theology are any guide, there is even more uniting these two factions. Davidson correctly points that “on issues like women’s rights, transgenderism, gay marriage and the sexual revolution in general, [Islamists and radical leftists] are not aligned.” But these differences are mere window dressing to their core similarities: spreading their ideology through aggression and confiscating the wealth of others.

These two principles are fairly well known as features of communism, but most Westerners have been conditioned not to associate them with Islam. Nearly all Western schools, underfunded or otherwise, have done their utmost to obscure the fact that Islam was spread by the sword as well as by theft. As historian Raymond Ibrahim details in his classic history Sword and Scimitar: Fourteen Centuries of War Between Islam and the West, starting with the Prophet Muhammad and continuing with his many successors, Muslim armies would invade, pillage, terrorize, and enslave neighboring kingdoms, forcing their populations to submit to Allah, face martyrdom, or live as second-class citizens (dhimmis).

Fewer than ten lay Catholics courageously showed up to pray the Holy Rosary in reparation for an annual LGBT “pride” festival and parade in downtown Altoona for the second year in a row last week, persevering despite being mocked, screamed at, and even provocatively danced at by a “drag queen.”

On Friday, October 9, the small group of just seven brave faithful from across the great state of Pennsylvania, and one from the lesser state of Maryland, recited the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary in reparation for sins committed during the blasphemous pro-LGBT event and indeed by the entire alphabet movement.

As they implored the intercession of the Blessed Mother (and even before they began), several angry (and likely demonically afflicted) LGBTers came up to harass, scream, wave rainbow flags at, and mockingly join them in prayer. A “drag queen” also stopped by to “twerk” at them while they were praying.

Attacks from parade/festival attendees

The third annual Altoona Pride Parade & Festival was organized by the Blair County Inclusion Alliance in partnership with Penn State Altoona (And this alumnus is embarrassed for them), to coincide with the leftist “National Coming Out Day.”

The demonic event drew a noticeably smaller but more vicious crowd than last year, with there appearing to be only about 200 in attendance – and that’s rounding up – including dozens of young children, a few more “drag queens,” but only one “furry” that I spotted compared to about a handful last year.

It’s perhaps the most important question purple-state voters should be asking themselves in 2026: Do you want to vote Republican, or do you want to end up like Minnesota?

On the same day that Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s house was raided by immigration officials, President Donald Trump asked the obvious question to voters in Ohio — namely, whether they wanted their state to be “plundered, ransacked, and destroyed” like their friends up north.

Trump was in the state to support the 2026 Republican candidates for Senate and governor, Jon Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy, respectively.

However, he also gave everyone a callback to a major flashpoint of his 2024 presidential campaign — namely, the town of Springfield, Ohio, which had been overrun by Haitian migrants.

Yes, we all remember this for the “they’re eating the dogs… they’re eating the cats” clip from his debate with Kamala Harris, but there was a deeper issue at play. Springfield residents were worried about the burden on their community posed by a wave of immigrants that had come in during the Biden years — up to 20,000, by estimates at the time.

According to Jane Doe, the woman who claims she was gang raped by seven members of the Chi Phi frat house at Cornell University in the early morning hours of October 20, 2024, the men gave her drugs and alcohol until she was too incapacitated to know they were raping her.

Nevertheless, as of now, all the contemporaneous evidence we have seen points to a 20-year-old woman who showed up at a frat house after having a few drinks, agreed to a threesome, and then agreed to hours of group sex, which she would later describe in a text (approvingly) as a gang bang.

Then, about two weeks later, after news of the event spread around campus and she felt slut-shamed, Jane Doe gave a statement to the campus police where she still agreed that everything that happened to her that night was consensual, including the drinking and the consumption of illegal drugs.

It was only two years later (and a few weeks before a midterm election) that Jane Doe cried rape by way of a high-profile civil suit with the claim that seven Chi Phi frat brothers, now known as the Cornell 7, drugged her into oblivion so they could gang rape her.

The ensuing drip-drip-drip of text messages that various reports claim were written by Jane Doe in the days and weeks after the event show the exact opposite, and on Tuesday, a text message has been released that, if it is indeed hers, raises questions about her claim of being incapacitated by drugs.

SCOTUS To Decide If Leftist Group Can Acquire DOGE Records– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to take up a major case that will decide whether a leftist nonprofit can acquire records from President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

The high court revealed in its newest order list that it has added U.S. DOGE Service v. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to its 2026 merits docket. This means that the justices have agreed to schedule the case for oral argument and will subsequently release a decision on the merits of the issues presented.

The case’s origins can be traced back to early 2025, when the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking to obtain records about DOGE, which was established to root out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. This included attempts to acquire DOGE’s “organizational chart and financial disclosures,” according to CBS News.

As described by InfluenceWatch, the Soros-backed CREW is a leftist advocacy group “focused on public integrity issues.” The organization has gained a reputation for “opposing actions of both the first and second Trump administrations,” which includes filing “several lawsuits challenging administrative actions since the beginning of the second Trump administration in 2025.”

In rejecting CREW’s request, the Trump administration argued that DOGE is not subject to FOIA because it serves as an advisory entity to the president and operates as part of his office. As such, CREW asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to compel DOGE to turn over the sought-after records.

Socialist group prevails in legal battle, seizes lucrative retirement account from professor’s nephews

A national socialist group successfully seized a $6.6 million retirement account from the four nephews of a deceased professor.

Professor David Greenberg died in 2024, setting off a legal battle over his estate, valued at nearly $10 million. The New York University professor had no will, but previously listed the “New American Movement” as the beneficiary of his school retirement plan.

That group later merged with the Democratic Socialists of America, of which Greenberg was also a dues paying member.

The DSA recently won a court battle against Greenberg’s four nephews for the lion’s share of his estate, a $6.6 million retirement account.

National co-chair Ashik Siddique addressed criticism last month over the group’s lawsuit against Greenberg’s family.

“We don’t see any contradiction between being socialists and organizing to have money in a capitalist society,” Siddique said,” according to the New York Times. “The more the better,” he said, “as long as it is meaningfully supporting the decisions that our members make together.”

A Red Dwarf is Taking its Time Eating a Brown Dwarf– www.universetoday.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Most of what happens to any individual star during its lifetime is determined by its mass. Massive stars die young in supernova explosions, small red dwarfs linger for trillions of years, and mid-size stars like our Sun enjoy about ten billion years of fusion. But interactions between stars aren’t uncommon, and they shape stellar destinies, too.

Stars are born in clusters that slowly drift apart. But many stars stay bound to one another in binary systems. Astronomers observed one such binary star where the more massive of the pair, a small red dwarf (M dwarf) is very slowly consuming its companion. In this case, the companion is a brown dwarf. Putting aside the argument over whether a brown dwarf is truly a star or not, the pair, which is only about 300 light years away, is giving astronomers an opportunity to study stellar cannibalism.

New research in Nature Astronomy presents their observations and analysis. It’s titled “Stable mass transfer from a substellar object onto an M dwarf,” and the first author is Aaron Householder, a graduate student in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences. Householder works with Kevin Burdge, assistant professor of physics at MIT.

Massive stars consuming less massive objects like planets is not rare. There are many examples of stars engulfing exoplanets. In those cases, the planet doesn’t last long before being drawn into the star and being destroyed. The only evidence of the engulfment is often an unusual concentration of metals in the star’s upper layer.
