By Euronews Persian
Published on
An oil tanker caught fire in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday after entering what Iran’s navy described as a prohibited zone with its tracking systems disabled, Iranian state-run media reported, the second such incident in the area in 24 hours.
Iran’s navy said monitoring teams patrolling the eastern sector of the Strait of Hormuz detected the tanker ablaze in the restricted area, according to a statement cited by the Mehr news agency.
The name, flag and crew condition of the vessel were not immediately known, nor was the cause of the fire.
On Wednesday, Iranian domestic media reported a fire on another tanker near the Strait of Hormuz after it also switched off its tracking equipment.
The incidents follow the sinking of two commercial vessels in the same waters in recent days. The container ship GFS Pride sank on Wednesday after catching fire. All 21 crew members were rescued.

Peaceful pro-lifer ticketed a second time by Quebec police– www.lifesitenews.com

EXCERPT:
(LifeSiteNews) — A man witnessing for life, holding a sign calling for people to “pray” to end abortion was ticketed again by police in the province of Quebec for his pro-life witness after his first ticket was dropped, leaving his lawyer baffled but determined to help clear his client’s name.
Brian Jenkins of Sherbrooke, Quebec, was given a ticket in 2025 for displaying signs calling out abortion during the annual “40 Days for Life” campaign that takes place nationwide.
After legal pressure, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said in a press release sent to LifeSiteNews that Jenkins’ first ticket was dropped on September 30, 2026. However, his constitutional lawyer, Mr. Olivier Séguin, was not notified.
Jenkins was again ticketed on October 3 for the same pro-life witnessing shortly after the first ticket was taken away. The JCCF noted that both tickets are based on a city bylaw banning “sandwich boards,” but that applies to commercial advertising.
Earlier this year, LifeSiteNews reported on Jenkins’ case and the JCCF’s legal assistance.

In an interview published this week, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff, surely having already tortured himself with grubby lawyers and P.R. midwits, said he was sorry for an incident he had no control over, the details of which are unclear (even the people directly involved are in dispute about what happened).
“I think that this is a problem that relates to 20-year-olds, 21-year-olds leaving home for the first time,” he said, “coming into an environment where there’s access to alcohol, where there is unfortunately in some cases access to drugs. And they’re not prepared. And of course they’ve been exposed to social media, pornography, misogyny.” He described the fallout of the “gang rape,” as alleged by a woman known publicly as Jane Doe, as “a challenge for us” at Cornell. “We have to respond by building character, judgment, responsibility, care for each other.”

Surely,historians will refer to this era of Western civilization as the age of insanity.
Court documents and subsequent reporting state that prosecutors determined Abdelshahed had placed bags over each child’s head and pumped helium into the bags through a hose, depriving them of oxygen. The prosecution described the killings as intentional, carefully planned, and particularly ruthless. Investigators recovered items from the home consistent with this method, including bags, tape, and gas-related equipment.

A father who murdered his two young children and was transferred to a women’s prison after beginning to identify as transgender has been accused of sexually harassing female inmates while authorities look the other way. Paulus Said Foukaih Abdelshahed, an Egyptian national, was transferred to a women’s prison after changing his name to “Lily,” where he is serving a life sentence for the killings.
On April 23, 2024, police and ambulances services were dispatched to Abdelshahed’s residence in response to a call that he had made. Abdelshahed told emergency services that his two children – a boy and a girl, both under the age of 10 – were not breathing, according to a criminal indictment lodged in November that year.
Inflation Ticks Higher As Rising Gas Prices Squeeze Americans Ahead of Midterms – RedState– redstate.com

Americans hoping to get some relief from rising costs of consumer goods got a bit of bad news Wednesday: inflation accelerated in September at a faster pace than economists were expecting. Gasoline prices, in particular, delivered an especially nasty blow to consumers’ wallets last month, as anyone who’s had to fill up their tank recently can confirm.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 0.6 percent in September and is now up 3.7 percent over the past year, according to the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That annual increase number was higher than the 3.6 percent economists had predicted, with a noticeable jump from the 3.4 percent rate recorded in August.

Throughout his campaign for Florida governor, Rep. Byron Donalds has been unapologetically enthusiastic about data centers. The Republican candidate vying to replace Gov. Ron DeSantis told a group of Miami businesses last spring that Florida was “wide open” for development. “We have actual land in our state that is still pristine, available to use,” he said at the time. Amid growing evidence of the unpopularity of data centers among voters, he nonetheless dug in, bashing other candidates, like David Jolly, now the Democratic nominee, who had proposed moratoriums. “There ain’t no bans coming,” Donalds said at a campaign event in August. “But it sounds good on TV. Or it sounds good on social media.”
His wife, Erika Donalds, a charter school executive and education chair for the conservative think tank, America First Policy Institute, is also a supporter of the technology. At a Washington, DC, meeting with educators last month, she said that teachers are often the biggest obstacle to implementing AI in schools. During a roundtable discussion at the Ronald Reagan Institute, she made the case that AI education models could be more effective than some current teaching methods. “The biggest challenge I see with adopting these new technologies and the desire to ban them, ” she said, according to the Miami Herald, “is great teachers who have been teaching the same way for a long time and getting great results, and who have to change their pedagogy if we adopt these technologies.”

Even when a person is fully unconscious under general anesthesia, their brain may still be doing something remarkable: processing language, recognizing patterns, and even anticipating which words will come next.
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered that the brain retains surprisingly sophisticated abilities during anesthesia, despite the absence of conscious awareness. The findings, published in the journal Nature, challenge traditional assumptions about the relationship between consciousness and thinking. They could also provide new insights into how the brain processes memories and language, potentially leading to advances in technologies that help people communicate after neurological injuries.
“Our findings show that the brain is far more active and capable during unconsciousness than previously thought,” said Dr. Sameer Sheth, professor and Cullen Foundation Endowed chair of neurosurgery and a McNair Scholar at Baylor. “Even when patients are fully anesthetized, their brains continue to analyze the world around them.”

EXCERPT:
NAIROBI, Kenya — U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called for de-escalation in the Horn of Africa amid fighting in northern Ethiopia and heightened tensions with neighboring Eritrea.
Rubio spoke by phone with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Wednesday, urging dialogue under a peace deal agreed between Ethiopia and Eritrea in 2018. He said the region could not tolerate more conflict, according to a statement from the State Department.
Renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region in recent weeks has effectively shattered a 2022 peace agreement that ended a devastating two-year war. Ethiopia has accused Eritrean troops of occupying parts of its territory, while Eritrea condemned Ethiopia for what it called a declaration of war.
Human Rights Watch has received reports of civilians killed and injured by shelling in southern Tigray, Laetitia Bader, the group’s deputy Africa director, told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday.
She said shelling also forced some health facilities to close and called for independent monitoring, restored communications and safe humanitarian access. Her account did not identify who carried out the shelling.

EXCERPT:
Climate change pushed the Earth’s environmental system to, and perhaps beyond, its limits in 2026, as several of its “vital signs” reached record extremes, researchers said in a new report on the state of the global climate.
Of the 16 climate markers that researchers consider integral measures of how the Earth is doing, seven are currently at record extremes, while multiple others show evidence of accelerating or abruptly shifting, the report published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal BioScience said.
The markers include greenhouse gases, temperature, glacier mass, oceans, wildfires and the planet’s energy imbalance, which refers to the difference between the amount of energy the Earth absorbs and the amount it radiates back out into the atmosphere.
Researchers warned in the report that the planet’s climate “is moving deeper into uncharted territory.”
“Earth’s life-support systems are being pushed beyond stable limits, with changes unfolding faster than our ability to respond,” the report said. “Across the globe, extreme heat, floods, droughts, storms, and wildfires are no longer rare events but defining features of a changing planet.”

Golden Dome Is Technologically and Financially Infeasible– warontherocks.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
For as long as nuclear-armed, intercontinental ballistic missiles and submarine-launched ballistic missiles have existed, strategists and engineers have pursued a seductive idea: a shield effective enough to diminish — or even block — a ballistic missile attack. The appeal is obvious. A state that could reliably intercept ballistic missiles could protect its cities from these terrifying weapons and reduce its adversaries’ leverage.
But defenses against strategic ballistic missiles have a long history of disappointments. Over roughly seven decades, the United States has spent more than $500 billion (in 2025 dollars) on missile defenses, much of it to defend against intercontinental ballistic missiles. And yet, the ability of any of these systems to intercept even a single missile or warhead under the conditions expected during a nuclear attack has not been demonstrated.
Most recently, the Trump administration has proposed “Golden Dome” — an ambitious proposal for a comprehensive, layered defense with ground, sea, and space-based elements. It is supposed to protect the United States and its allies and deployed forces not only against attacks by ballistic missiles, but also by cruise missiles, hypersonic boost-glide vehicles, aircraft, and drones launched at any time from anywhere by any adversary, including peer adversaries.
There is no prospect of deploying a missile defense system capable of successfully defending against a major ballistic missile attack by Russia and China for the foreseeable future. Such a system would have to be able to destroy hundreds or thousands of nuclear-armed long-range ballistic missiles or their warheads in the face of sophisticated countermeasures, dozens of decoys, and salvo tactics, as well as new delivery systems specifically designed to defeat it.

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.

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.

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.”

Yes, in the administration where only women get fired, it was Guilfoyle’s turn to be unceremoniously tossed out of her job as U.S. ambassador to Greece.
Indeed, much like when former Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem was fired, it isn’t even clear whether Guilfoyle knew she was out before the genuinely unhinged new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, announced it at a press conference.
Guilfoyle, like Noem, is out because she flew too close to the sun, grifting too much and too brazenly. After all, only the Trump family and their nearest and dearest cronies can do that. And let’s face it: Guilfoyle was hardly in the inner circle any longer, having been paid off/exiled to Greece after Donald Trump Jr. moved on to another lady friend.
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.
