President Trump said Sunday he is “in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine,” and accused Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy of not wanting to end the war.

In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Mr. Trump criticized Zelensky for “using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target” and alleged “he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did.”

“He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead,” Mr. Trump wrote.

The comments come amid a deepening rift between the Mr. Trump and Zelensky, with the U.S. president criticizing his Ukrainian counterpart for attacking Russian oil infrastructure.

An armed bystander fatally shot the 16-year-old suspect who opened fire Thursday at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, according to multiple law enforcement sources cited by several media outlets.

Federal law enforcement sources told Fox News that the bystander, who was carrying a concealed weapon, “definitely prevented more deaths.” A law separate law enforcement source similarly told USA TODAY that the bystander was legally carrying a concealed weapon and followed the shooter.

CBS News also reported, citing law enforcement sources, that the 16-year-old suspect “was shot and killed by a bystander.”

Bend Police communications manager Sheila Miller said at a news conference that officers arrived at the school at 1:02 p.m. and, seconds later, received word that the suspect was down. “We don’t have confirmation yet who shot the suspect. It may have been a bystander,” Miller stated in the news conference, which took place in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.

Police said the first call at approximately 12:59 p.m. reported that an unknown man had shot into a car outside the school. Within about a minute, multiple 911 calls reported that a person had entered the school and started shooting.

Earlier local reporting from The Source Weekly described a passerby outside the school confronting a man with a gun, after which the man fired at a vehicle, shattering a window, before entering the school, reportedly in the special education area. Police confirmed they were investigating reports of shots fired into a vehicle.

Voter enthusiasm surveys are showing signs of a gathering “Silver Wave” of older voters surging to the polls on November 3 for the 2026 midterm elections and voting in greater numbers for Republican candidates than they have in recent years, according to GOP pollster and campaign strategist Matt Towery.

Combined with the traditional huge drop-off in the number of younger voters aged 18 to 39 in midterm contests, who are among the Democratic Party’s most loyal supporters, the Silver Wave could mean a bunch of Democratic congressional candidates now making relocation plans to the nation’s capital after the election could be in for an unexpected surprise.

And, according to Towery, a key factor in bringing that outcome about would be the explosion of media coverage and enthusiasm among young people for candidates who, like New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D), identify themselves as socialists or those like Claire Valdez, who is running in New York’s 7th Congressional District, as members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—President Donald Trump’s Birth Tourism Prevention Task Force has revoked more than 700 visas held by Chinese nationals since its launched in August.

“The Chinese birth tourism industry should not be allowed to profit from the privileges of American citizenship while undermining the integrity of our immigration laws,” a State Department spokesperson told the Daily Signal. “President Trump and Secretary Rubio are putting American interests first, strengthening enforcement, and making clear that the United States will not tolerate the deliberate exploitation of its visa process.”

The State Department established a task force to identify instances of birth tourism, revoke visas of those who engage in or facilitate it, and dismantle the networks that profit from it.

The task force’s largest crackdown has been on Chinese nationals accused of exploiting the immigration system to obtain U.S. citizenship for their children, according to the spokesperson.

“We will not allow foreign nationals or commercial networks from any country to abuse our visa process for financial gain,” the spokesperson said.

EXCERPT:

Iran-backed Houthis are working towards building advanced ballistic missiles that could strike targets across Saudi Arabia and Israel, using components shipped from China, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

The weapons under development appear to be modelled on Iran’s Kheibar Shekan, a precision-guided ballistic missile capable of manoeuvring to evade air defence systems, according to an investigation by Conflict Armament Research (CAR), a group that tracks weapons and their supply chains in conflict zones.

A missile based on the Iranian design could travel up to 1,200 miles, potentially bringing all of Saudi Arabia and Israel within striking distance.

The development comes as Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia have intensified in recent weeks, adding to tensions over a Riyadh-led blockade. The attacks, alongside Iran’s continued strikes on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, have contributed to rising oil prices and caused US President Donald Trump to accuse the Houthis of behaving “very badly” in a post on his Social Truth platform.

U.S. District Judge Ana C. Reyes called the emergency hearing Monday, held by videoconference, after preservationists and golfers asked her to stop tree cutting at East Potomac Golf Course, court records show.

Kevin Griess, superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks, testified that Frank Lands, the Park Service’s deputy director for operations, told crews to start cutting Saturday, MeidasTouch Network’s Scott MacFarlane reported.

The plaintiffs argue in court papers that the work clears the way for President Donald Trump’s planned overhaul of the course.

“Misstatements are a federal felony,” Reyes told Griess as he was sworn in, according to Inner City Press.

“Who notified them to start on Saturday?” the judge cut in as Griess began answering the same question from a plaintiffs’ lawyer.

“Deputy Director Frank [Lands],” Griess answered.

Today an international group of scientists, diplomats and timekeepers voted to end the leap second, which has been keeping Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) aligned with the time according to Earth’s rotation (UT1) within one second of difference. The length of a day according to UTC is close to that of UT1 but not exactly the same because our planet’s rotation is irregular. We add a leap second every few years to keep them from drifting too far apart.

But soon the leap second will be replaced with a leap hour, added much more infrequently, which will extend the allowed difference between UT1 and UTC to an hour, or 3,600 seconds.

“After 30 years of debates, we are ready,” said Noël Dimarcq, a senior scientist at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and president of International Bureau of Weights and Measures’ (BIPM’s) Consultative Committee for Time and Frequency, just before the vote, which took place at the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) in Versailles, France.

EXCERPT:

CALGARY, Alberta — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned Thursday that the United States is trying to break Canada so it can “own us” as he urged oil-rich Alberta not to begin a process toward separation in Monday’s referendum.

The vote is not a direct referendum on independence. Alberta, which has the world’s fourth-largest proven oil reserves, will decide whether to remain a province or instruct the government to begin the legal process toward a future referendum on separation.

“This referendum comes at the worst possible time,” Carney told a large pro-Canada rally in Calgary. “The world has become more dangerous and divided. Some outside our borders are working to break us so they can own us.”

He did not directly mention the U.S. or its President Donald Trump in that passage, but has done so in similar past speeches. Carney’s warning came as U.S. President Donald Trump wages a trade war with Canada and after his repeated threats to make Canada the 51st U.S. state. Carney has argued that Canada needs to become more economically resilient and less dependent on the United States.

Carney urged Albertans not to use the vote simply to send Ottawa a message, saying a decisive result could settle the separation question.

“Don’t be fooled by the idea you can ‘send a message’ with your vote,” Carney said. “This is not poker. A vote against Canada is a dangerous bluff that will lead to years of deep division and great uncertainty.”

US President Donald Trump has claimed that American missiles supplied to Ukraine under his predecessor, Joe Biden, were sold on the “open market.” In an interview with Newsmax aired on Thursday, Trump questioned the whereabouts of billions of dollars in US military and financial aid to Kiev.

The president made the remarks after Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky said he felt betrayed by Trump’s unexpected decision to lift sanctions on Russian diesel exports in a bid to curb rising energy prices.

Asked by host Rob Finnerty about the Ukrainian leader’s decision to defy Trump’s demand to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities, Trump said, “Zelensky is not a good guy for us to deal with. Biden gave him billions and billions of dollars.”

Trump went on to argue that Zelensky was unwilling to resolve the conflict with Russia through diplomacy. “He says he wants to settle but he [doesn’t],” he said.

EXCERPT:

US media and the human rights industry are portraying Jeffrey Jarquin as a heroic freedom fighter tortured and wrongly imprisoned by Nicaragua’s government. It turns out he was an opposition hooligan who destroyed a public university during the violent US-backed 2018 coup attempt.

On 1 October 2026, Jeffrey Isaac Jarquin, a 35-year-old Nicaraguan man, was deported from the United States by ICE and, on arrival in Managua, was immediately sent to prison by Nicaraguan authorities. Reports described him as a “torture victim,” a “political prisoner,” and a “prominent figure in the anti-government protests” that occurred in Nicaragua in 2018. His story was covered in uncritical fashion by the Washington Post, CNN, ABC News, The LA Times and other outlets. It featured on Democracy Now and he received support from the longtime former head of Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth.

Not one of the reports, however, investigated Jarquin’s role in those “protests” nor recorded that in November 2018, he was found guilty of various acts of terrorism and sentenced to more than 16 years in prison.

“Tortured” or “torturer”?

Who is Jeffrey Isaac Jarquin, the man being championed by corporate media as a heroic freedom fighter tortured by an authoritarian regime?

In April 2018, protests began in Nicaragua which were part of a U.S.-led and funded coup attempt. Since the protests were ostensibly “student-led,” several universities in Managua were occupied and used as command centers by paid criminals whose financing originated from USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy.

A trans-identified male former substitute teacher in Loudoun County, Virginia has been convicted of making death threats and threatening to go on a “murder spree” at a local high school. In total, Hadyn James Dollery, who goes by “Sophie,” was convicted on four of five counts.

Dollery had been arrested in April and indicted on three counts of threatening to injure or kill a person, one count of making threats on school grounds, and one count of threatening to damage a building. Dollery had worked as a substitute teacher at Eagle Ridge Middle School.

The jury of seven men and five women began deliberating on Thursday, and on Friday evening found Dollery guilty of two counts of threatening to injure or kill a person, one count of making threats on school grounds, and one count of threatening to damage a building, and not guilty on the third charge of threatening, per Loudoun Now.

In opening statements, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Dircia Schubert said that Dollery, who goes by “Cotton Candy” on Discord, had made the threatening statements the day after one of the victims broke up with him. He messaged his ex-boyfriend on Discord at 1:49 am on April 15. Dollery had threatened to kill the ex, members of both his and the ex’s families, undertake a “murder spree at your school,” and cannibalize one of the victims after killing them. Dollery had also sent a message to his ex saying he wanted him to return a shirt “if I’m deemed fit to work after this sh*t I’m about to do.”

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin reached an agreement on a measure to ban horse-drawn carriage operations in the city. This ends a tradition stretching back more than 150 years.

Mamdani and Menin reached the agreement on Tuesday and will enact Romanch’s Law. The bill is named after 18-year-old tourist Romanch Mahajan, who died in June after a carriage horse bolted and overturned the vehicle in Central Park. It was the first carriage fatality in the industry’s history.

The Council will vote on the measure on October 22, with 29 of 51 members co-sponsoring. Menin predicted a veto-proof majority.

From The Guardian:

Mamdani has agreed to back a bill supported by Julie Menin, the speaker of the New York city council, that would make it illegal to operate horse-drawn carriages beginning in June 2028, Politico reported on Tuesday. The city council is expected to vote on the legislation next week.

“The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City. Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe,” Mamdani wrote on X on Tuesday.

A person familiar with the mayor’s office confirmed a deal had been struck.

While horse-drawn carriage rides are ubiquitous in Central Park, animal rights activists have long expressed concern over the treatment of horses. Multiple horses have died since 2020, occasionally collapsing in the middle of carriage rides.

The push for a ban increased over the summer after an 18-year-old tourist, Romanch Mahajan, died after being thrown from a carriage.

In a statement, Menin said horse-drawn carriages had “become a growing public safety liability”.

“We can honor our city’s traditions while recognizing when it’s time to move forward in the interest of public safety, protecting workers, and strengthening our city’s economic vitality,” Menin said.

And then, let’s face this as well: She became an embarrassment, even by this administration’s standards. She apparently threatened to overthrow the Greek government in a fit of pique, but, to be perfectly honest, that didn’t really bother the administration.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have morphed over the last decade from being a little-known group in northwest Yemen, to Iran’s most potent ally in the region and a central opponent of the United States and its allies across the Middle East.

While Iran’s other proxy forces have been depleted in recent years, the Houthis have taken center stage in the Middle East, offering yet another example of how a smaller, guerrilla-style force that’s dug in on the ground can cause asymmetric damage through hard-to-repel aerial attacks.

In support of their Iranian benefactors, the Houthis launched initial attacks on Israel not long after the U.S. joined the Jewish state in strikes across Iran on Feb. 28, sparking the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

Saudi Arabia, one of the world’s richest nations and a key American ally, is now bearing the brunt of the Houthis’ attacks, which have killed at least 20 people at Saudi airports over the last week. Along with other allied groups, the militants have also attacked Saudi oil infrastructure, helping drive up global energy prices by threatening the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which, like the Strait of Hormuz, is a key maritime chokepoint for oil and gas shipments.
