Jimmy Kimmel Didn’t See a ‘Problem’ with His Lie that Charlie Kirk’s Killer was Part of the ‘MAGA Gang’– www.breitbart.com

Disney’s late-night funnyman Jimmy Kimmel said he didn’t see what the “problem” was with his comments about slain conservative icon and free speech martyr Charlie Kirk, and blamed “right-wing media networks” for the backlash he received, claiming conservative reporters “intentionally” and “maliciously mischaracterized” his controversial remarks.

“I didn’t think there was a big problem, You know? I just saw it as distortion on the part of some of the right-wing media networks, and I aimed to correct it,” Kimmel said of his comments about Kirk’s assassination during a Wednesday interview with Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw for Bloomberg Screentime.

“Sometimes you think, ‘Oh, this is not a problem,’ and then it turns into a big problem, and then sometimes it goes the other way, where you think, ‘Uh oh, this is going to be a problem,’ and then nobody really notices.”

Shutdown polls show Democrats’ economic messaging still falling flat– www.politico.com

Democrats’ hardline opposition to rising health care costs isn’t earning them voters’ trust on economic issues — a disconnect that lays bare the party’s challenge heading into next year’s midterms.

Voters blame Republicans more than Democrats for the federal government shutdown, according to a review of polling conducted after services shuttered. An Economist/YouGov survey of 1,648 Americans showed 41 percent hold the GOP accountable for the lapse in federal funding, compared to 30 percent who point a finger at Democrats and 23 percent who hold the parties equally responsible. A 2,441-person CBS News/YouGov survey also found Americans blame Republicans more than Democrats — 39 percent to 30 percent — with 31 percent faulting both. And a Harvard/Harris poll demonstrated 2,413 voters impugned Republicans more than Democrats by 6 points.

‘Could End Badly’: Medvedev Threatens Trump Over Tomahawks for Ukraine– www.themoscowtimes.com

Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Monday warned U.S. President Donald Trump that the supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine could “end badly” for him.

Medvedev, who served as Russia’s president from 2008 to 2012, appeared to suggest that Russia might issue a nuclear response if Ukraine receives and fires the long-range rockets at targets inside Russia.

“The supply of these missiles could end badly for everyone. First and foremost for Trump,” Medvedev wrote in a post on Telegram after the American president repeated his own threat of supplying Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine if Russia does not agree to end the war.

More Evidence Emerges That One of Saturn’s Moons Could Harbor Life– www.wired.com

A recent study of Enceladus, one of Saturn’s moons, has detected several organic compounds that had never been recorded there before. The findings, published this month in Nature Astronomy, provide new clues about the interior chemical composition of this icy world, as well as new hope that it could harbor life.

The researchers analyzed data from the Cassini probe, which launched in 1997 and studied Saturn and its moons for years until its destruction in 2017. For Enceladus, Cassini gathered data from ice fragments forcefully ejected from the moon’s subsurface ocean up into space.

The world faces a “new reality” as we have reached the first of many Earth system tipping points that will cause catastrophic harm unless humanity takes urgent action, according to a report released by the University of Exeter and international partners.

With ministers gathering ahead of the COP30 summit, the second Global Tipping Points Report finds that warm-water coral reefs—on which nearly a billion people and a quarter of all marine life depend—are passing their tipping point.

Monday was a day of rejoicing, of gratitude. For the families and friends of the 20 last living hostages freed after two years of hell, it was a day of fully breathing once again. The hostage release came as a very good sign that Hamas, the genocidal monsters responsible for the devastating two-year war with Israel, could at least come through on a principle term in a long sought ceasefire.

“This is the day the Lord has made known to us, and we will rejoice in it,” Zvika Mor, father of Eitan Mor, said after reuniting with his hostage son, according to reporting by the Times of Israel.

Peace is suddenly a real promise for this war-ravaged portion of the Middle East.

Monday was a momentous, joyful day — after two years, finally, a ceasefire in the Middle East.

A somber one, yes — it marked a ceasefire that ended hostilities between Israel and Hamas that had claimed thousands of innocent lives (as well as quite a few not-so-innocent ones, mostly fighting under the aegis of the terror organization that has run the Gaza Strip for 19 years now). But it was a happy day, a day which saw peace for the good guys, looming justice for the bad guys, and a well-deserved comeuppance in a moment of brief levity for pusillanimous ones.

Gov. Janet Mills (D-ME) launched her campaign Tuesday for next year’s Maine Senate race, presenting what Democrats believe will be incumbent Sen. Susan Collins‘s (R-ME) toughest opponent.

The term-limited Mills, who is serving her second consecutive term as governor, boosts Democrats’ longtime hopes of picking off one of the Senate’s most centrist Republicans in the battleground seat.

“I’ve never backed down from a bully, and I never will,” Mills said in her launch video, which focused heavily on President Donald Trump. “Honestly, if this President and this Congress were doing things that were even remotely acceptable, I wouldn’t be running for the U.S. Senate.

The U.S. is at war with drug cartels. The news should be cause for celebration, but some are trying to discredit and derail these efforts.

According to the detractors, the Cartel of the Suns doesn’t exist. Killing drug traffickers is a war crime. The U.S., they argue, should relinquish its regional leadership and pursue ostrich diplomacy.

In this context of retorts and recriminations, the Trump administration is not giving up or giving in. On the contrary, it is determined to track, kill and destroy the drug cartels. This isn’t propaganda; it’s a promise being fulfilled in real time.

It’s been a very busy 36 hours for President Donald Trump. He brought peace to the Middle East. Once again, he trounced his doubters, ended the war in Gaza, and got Hamas to release the rest of the Israeli hostages taken during the October 7 attack two years ago. The remains of captives murdered by Hamas will also be returned.

The president addressed the Knesset and later flew to Egypt to make this ceasefire agreement, which Trump pitched at the end of September, official. As with anything relating to the president of the United States, he wasn’t on schedule, though this was intentional. Trump stuck around a little longer to meet with the families of the hostages.

DJI fights U.S. government classification as ‘Chinese military company,’ appeals ruling– mashable.com

DJI is continuing to fight the U.S. government’s classification of it as a “Chinese military company,” filing an appeal in its unsuccessful lawsuit against the Department of Defense (DoD, recently renamed the Department of War).

In a ruling against DJI last month, a U.S. district court allowed the DoD’s designation of the Chinese drone manufacturer as a “Chinese military company” to stand. Despite disagreeing with the DoD’s allegation that DJI is “indirectly owned by the Chinese Communist Party,” the judge determined that there is evidence that the company does contribute to the “Chinese defence industrial base,” as drones are of substantial use in military contexts.

An emergency vote on Israel’s participation in the Eurovision Song Contest has been called off following developments in the Middle East, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has said.

Contest organisers had scheduled “an extraordinary meeting of [its] general assembly to be held online” in early November after several countries said they would no longer take part in Eurovision if Israel participated.

The EBU said in a statement that following “recent developments in the Middle East” the executive board had agreed on Monday that there should be an in-person discussion among members “on the issue of participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026”.

The European Union is edging closer to agreeing on new sanctions on Russia, the 19th round since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine three years ago, but two EU member states are still holding out before giving the green light. And perhaps surprisingly the perennial EU sanctions skeptic Hungary isn’t one of them. Instead, it is Austria and Slovakia that are hesitant to endorse the package — and their issues aren’t related to the proposed measures against Moscow at all. Bratislava has concerns about EU energy policy, as well as the future of Slovakia’s automotive industry.

Newt Gingrich Offers Blunt Words To Fmr Biden Officials Who Claim Trump ‘Built On’ Their Israel-Hamas Plan– dailycaller.com

Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” that no one could expect former President Joe Biden’s Secretary of State Antony Blinken “to go off quietly” after he claimed President Donald Trump “built on” the former administration’s Israel-Hamas plan.

On Wednesday, Trump secured a historic peace deal between Israel and Hamas, just a day after the anniversary of the war that began on Oct. 7, 2023, under the Biden administration. Guest host Kayleigh McEnany read Blinken’s tweet aloud, noting that it made her “bristle.”

“Well, it doesn’t make me bristle. Look, the entire Democratic left wing is out of touch with reality and verges on crazy. Blinken is part of that group. Why would you think that he has any realistic sense of what happened?” Gingrich asked.

“Republicans Don’t Know How to Count”: Jasmine Crockett Blames Republicans For Government Shutdown– www.louderwithcrowder.com

According to Jasmine Crockett, “Republicans don’t know how to count,” because “when you’re in a legislative body, you control everything. When the government shuts down, it’s on y’all.” I don’t have to tell you how misguided that statement is, considering the vote was 55‑45. She does realize that 60 votes are needed to advance it, right? It’s unclear, but according to her, this still has everything to do with the GOP and nothing to do with the fact that some members voted against the continuing resolution because they want to fund healthcare for illegal foreign nationals. But you can do the math—assuming, of course, that you know how to count.

Firstly, why does she speak like that? Can’t she just talk like a normal person? The fact that she was elected by the people of Texas seems to defy all logic, but that’s neither here nor there.
