Psychiatrists who support euthanasia say it’s out of control in Canada– www.lifesitenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The narrative that Canada’s euthanasia regime is carefully regulated, largely restricted to the dying, and that the regularly reported horror stories are merely sensationalist anomalies has received yet another blow. On October 5, psychiatrists Gary Rodin and Madeline Li laid out their fears in a New York Times op-ed titled “We Implemented Canada’s Assisted Dying Law. We’re Concerned.”
Rodin and Li emphasize that they are both supporters of assisted suicide in principle. Both have “counseled patients about the procedure and assessed whether they were eligible,” and one has “administered the drugs to end patients’ lives.” More than that, they wrote, “together, we created an institutional framework that determined how one of Canada’s largest medical centers would respond to requests for assisted death.” Now, they have fears — and their analysis is devastating to the defenses of Canada’s regime.
“But Canada’s system for assisted death is no longer an option of last resort,” they wrote. “Too many people are receiving the procedure without the opportunity for careful reflection about it with a health provider. In some cases, patients are being approved who should not be. Reports have emerged of people seeking assisted death in the context of poverty or loneliness, raising concerns that they may feel they have no other options.” Even for their cancer patients, they state, “there’s a risk of rushing into it and shortening what can be a meaningful period in patients’ lives.”
That is carefully worded, but read it again. People are being rushed into euthanasia. People who should not be approved are being approved. People are seeking lethal injections because they cannot get what they need, because they are poor, because they feel as if they are a burden. That is precisely what those of us who oppose euthanasia said would happen a decade ago, and what we have been reporting on ever since.
Rodin and Li noted that Canada’s regime is now “one of the most permissive in the world, allowing assisted dying for almost any form of subjectively intolerable suffering that has a medical basis, or even for medically unexplained physical symptoms.” This has resulted in a euthanasia rate that amounts to 5% of Canada’s annual deaths. Since 2016, we have seen a silent, sterile bloodbath in this country. Rodin and Li noted that in their view, this is because assisted suicide activists have largely been in the driver’s seat when it comes to policy. Other medical professionals, they stated, share their concerns.
An attack on a UK Airbase that also hosts American forces was stopped by British authorities. Five Islamist men were arrested and promptly released on bail. Now, the U.S. and the UK are claiming Iran is behind the attacks. Given Iran’s promise to attack British airbases, it is no surprise such a deduction was made. The President has called the UK’s handling of this attack inadequate.

Multiple riots have broken out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush. French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.

But security experts warn that the withdrawal could give Iran and its allies free rein, while also allowing a comeback for ISIS.
“Iran stands to benefit strategically from the coalition’s departure because it removes a military presence that for years acted as a counterweight to Iran’s influence in Iraq,” said Jasim al-Bahadli, an Iraqi security analyst.

Pakistan has conducted more airstrikes against Afghanistan, this time in Helmand. The Taliban claim the attack killed 10 civilians. Pakistan claimed it was a surgical strike targeting terrorists. They claim the attacks were “based on credible intelligence, selective targeting of terrorist camps and hideouts.”
KABUL: The Pakistani military launched rare deadly strikes on Afghanistan’s Helmand province on Thursday (Oct 1), the Taliban government and residents told AFP.
Afghanistan and Pakistan went to war earlier this year and, with no permanent resolution to security issues reached, there have been sporadic attacks since a March truce.
The latest strikes hit Helmand as well as Kunar, which borders Pakistan, killing 10 civilians, according to the Taliban government’s deputy spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat.
Islamabad confirmed “planned and calibrated” strikes in Afghanistan, without detailing locations, which it said targeted militants.
Two Helmand residents told AFP that three airstrikes hit their village.
Pakistan’s information ministry said two locations in Afghanistan were hit
Alongside neighbouring Kandahar province, which was hit by an airstrike last week, Helmand in southern Afghanistan holds great importance for the Taliban movement.
Speaking by phone from Helmand’s Safar village, 50-year-old resident Abdul Wahid said the strikes killed four people and wounded seven.
Another villager, Qudrat Ullah, said he was home when his neighbours’ house was hit.
The Senate voted 53-47 along party lines, leaving the “Stop Insider Trading Act” seven votes short of the 60 needed to advance.
The House had previously approved the legislation with support from Republicans and 13 Democrats. Wednesday’s Senate vote effectively ends the measure’s chances of reaching President Donald Trump’s desk before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
While the legislation sought to prohibit lawmakers from trading individual stocks, Democratic opposition centered largely on Republicans’ inclusion of a voter ID provision.
Republicans have separately sought passage of the SAVE America Act, legislation that would establish voter identification requirements. Democratic opposition has prevented that measure from advancing, prompting Republicans to attach voter ID provisions to other legislation.
The Senate vote puts Democrats on record opposing a measure that combined two priorities Republicans have promoted ahead of the midterms: restricting congressional stock trading and strengthening identification requirements for voting.
The House’s passage of the legislation, including votes from 13 Democrats, demonstrated some bipartisan support for banning congressional stock trading. But the addition of the voter ID provision helped ensure the legislation could not secure the Democratic votes necessary to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote threshold.

Rubio Says ‘Foreign Actor’ Was Behind Thwarted Plot Near U.S.-Used Air Base in Britain › American Greatness– amgreatness.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that a “foreign actor” was involved in a thwarted plot near a British military base used by U.S. forces, warning that threats against American interests will carry consequences.
“What happened, what almost happened, what could have happened in the U.K. over the weekend is a very serious situation,” Rubio told Fox News’ “Hannity.” “It’s one that clearly involves the hands of a foreign actor.”
Rubio declined to identify the foreign actor but pointed to Iran as an example of a country that has threatened American interests around the world.
“We’re going to always take that very seriously,” Rubio said. “There will be repercussions for that, if it ever were to happen or even attempted.”
British police arrested five men early Sunday after authorities were alerted to three large white vans parked near RAF Fairford in western England. The base is operated by Britain’s Royal Air Force and used by the U.S. military.
All five suspects, British nationals in their early 20s from London, were released on bail Monday as authorities continued investigating whether people acting on behalf of a foreign state were involved.
President Donald Trump said Monday that the incident “might be” connected to Iran and criticized the decision to release the suspects.

Drones outpace Ukrainian defenses as manufacturers race to build new interceptors– abcnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
KYIV, Ukraine — Russia’s new class of jet-powered drones rip across the night sky in Kyiv at hundreds of kilometers per hour, leaving Ukrainian air-defense units only moments to intercept them. It’s rarely enough time.
With many of the drones getting through to the capital, defense manufacturers are scrambling to develop a new generation of interceptors to counter the deadly threat. They are building their own jet-propulsion systems and training artificial intelligence to help guide the chase.
They need to move fast because the Russian drones are driving a new tactic, ramped up in recent weeks, to hit the infrastructure keeping Ukraine’s war-battered economy afloat. Recent targets have included energy systems, key industries, railways, post offices, shopping centers, telecom networks, gas stations and grain exports.
Russia also has an advantage with its ballistic missile arsenal, which poses another challenge as Ukraine runs low on interceptor missiles.
The effects of the barrage are being felt in Kyiv, which increasingly resembles a front-line city, without the relative safety that had long set it apart from the fighting. Food supplies have been disrupted, explosions echo day and night, and residents scramble for cover from strikes that reach closer to the city center.
Ukrainian officials say they are testing new interceptors that have successfully hit jet-powered Russian drones, which fly much higher and faster than propeller-driven drones and are much harder to stop.
“They’re moving so fast that we can’t get a proper lock on them,” said Volodymyr Serdiuk, commander of an air-defense unit.

The former prime minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, has denounced a new political offensive against his Fidesz political formation following the arrest and 30-day pretrial detention for Miklós Seszták, a lawmaker and former national development minister under Orbán.
A Budapest court on Wednesday ordered 30 days of pre-trial detention for Seszták following a corruption investigation that may just be beginning of a wave of prosecutions targeting the former Orbán government.
Orbán accused Magyar’s Tisza government of “neo-communist tactics.”
“The Tisza authoritarian rulers are raising taxes, fuel prices are soaring, and they are wrecking the Hungarian economy. Authoritarianism creates new victims every day. Today it’s them, tomorrow it’s you. They would rather stage political theatre than face reality. Our message to every Hungarian is this: the Tisza authoritarian rulers will not break our patriotic community. We will not let them. They cannot imprison half the country,” he continued.

James Talarico Refused to Support Bill to Stop Infanticide– www.lifenews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Texas Senate candidate James Talarico refused to support a 2019 Texas bill that would stop infanticide.
He refused to vote for legislation that required doctors to give life-saving medical care to infants born alive after an abortion, a measure pro-life lawmakers said was necessary to stop infanticide.
Talarico, then representing Round Rock and now the Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate, recorded his vote as “present, not voting” on House Bill 16, the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act. He did not vote yes to mandate that physicians treat a child who survives an abortion the same way they would treat any other infant born at the same gestational age.
Texas Right to Life gave Talarico a 0 percent pro-life score for the 86th Legislative Session. The group cited his present-not-voting stance on the born-alive bill and his opposition to expanding the state’s Alternatives to Abortion program.
The born-alive bill, authored by Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, created criminal and civil penalties for doctors who withhold appropriate care. A physician who failed to act after a failed abortion could face a third-degree felony punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a civil fine of at least $100,000. Gov. Greg Abbott signed the measure, and it took effect Sept. 1, 2019.

“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters.”
The Minnesota Senate race between Republican Michele Tafoya and Democrat Peggy Flanagan remains a closely contested battle. Multiple consecutive polls have shown the candidates just points apart from each other, within the margin of error.
A recent InsiderAdvantage poll of 1,200 likely voters conducted September 28-29 found Flanagan leading Tafoya 46 percent to 45 percent, a one-point difference within the poll’s 2.95 percentage-point margin of error.
“This survey is unusual in that it goes against many of the trends we are seeing in other Senate contests. It appears that the decrease in popularity of Governor Tim Walz, combined with the growing evidence of fraud in the state are taking a toll on the DFL nominee,” InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery said in a memo about the poll.
“Tafoya does extremely well with men and Flanagan is losing every age group other than the youngest of voters, who in the poll have a significant ‘enthusiasm about voting’ gap versus other age groups who are more enthusiastic,” Towery added.
U.S. troops leave Iraq, but Iran-backed militias’ future is uncertain– www.latimes.com News Source
EXCERPT:
BEIRUT — America opened its “forever war” in Iraq more than 23 years ago with “Shock and Awe.” It ended it on Wednesday with little of either, even as the legacy of that conflict — which saw Iraq endure sectarian bloodbaths, civil war and an insurgency that made Baghdad the car bomb capital of the world — continues to cast its shadow on the country today.
President Trump, summing up the U.S. role in Iraq as “a very expensive excursion into Hell,” said, “This day is a victory for the United States, a victory for Iraq…. We’re getting the hell out of there.”
It was the second time U.S. forces have pulled out of Iraq. The first withdrawal took place in 2011, capping the occupation that began in 2003 and toppled Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, and which resulted in Iraqi deaths that number 110,000 to four times greater and the loss of about 4,500 U.S. service members.
But three years later, Islamic State jihadis scythed through wide swaths of Iraq, scooping up U.S.-supplied materiel — as Iraqi troops literally ran away — and seizing control of nearly a third of the country. The U.S., this time at the Iraqi government’s request, led a coalition in a campaign — named Inherent Resolve — that by 2017 had destroyed Islamic State’s caliphate and driven most of its fighters into Syria. Since then, Iraqi forces have fought Islamic State remnants engaged in a low-level insurgency around the country’s remote areas.
California’s public campuses must offer abortions. None advertise prenatal care.– www.thecollegefix.com News Source
EXCERPT:
Every public California university is required by law to provide abortions in their student health centers, but only three provide ultrasounds and none advertise comprehensive prenatal care on campus, a College Fix analysis found.
A number of campuses do offer non-medical resources, such as family study rooms, for pregnant and parenting students. However, the medical services for pregnant students appear limited primarily to abortions.
For the analysis, The College Fix looked at the student health center websites at 33 University of California and California State University campuses. The Fix compared the medical services they provide for pregnant students.
Three campuses, UC Santa Barbara, UC Davis, and Chico State, advertise ultrasounds available for pregnant students. However, none of the 33 campus health centers offer comprehensive prenatal care in-house, according to their websites.
At one campus, Cal State Long Beach, the Student Health Services told The College Fix via email that it “is happy to assist students in connecting with appropriate outside providers” when asked about prenatal care.
Punchbowl News reported that Republicans are broadly resigned to losses in California’s 48th District, Iowa’s 1st District, Nebraska’s 2nd District, New Jersey’s 7th District, and Pennsylvania’s 7th District—all GOP-held seats that in a neutral environment would be highly competitive.
“Nearly every senior Republican and Democrat involved in 2026 believes these five R seats are all but lost,” Punchbowl News co-founder Jake Sherman wrote in a post on X.
Three of those contests (CA-48, NE-02, and NJ-07) are currently rated as “Lean Democratic” races by the Cook Political Report, while Iowa’s 1st and Pennsylvania’s 7th are still in the “toss-up” category. Given that even Republicans say they are the underdogs in these seats, it suggests that the political handicapping organizations are slower to react to the electoral landscape and thus their current ratings may not reflect the true peril the GOP is in.
What’s more, Punchbowl reported that a handful of other districts are also close to being cooked. They include:
Punchbowl said these seats “are growing more difficult for Republicans but still within reach.” It’s why even the typically gun-shy race-rating groups have declared that it’s “almost impossible” for Republicans to keep control of the House.

DOJ Announces Federal Indictments Against 10 Foreign Nationals Accused of Illegal Voting in Minnesota and Judicial Misconduct Complaint– amgreatness.com News Source EXCERPT:
The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced federal indictments against ten foreign nationals accused of illegally registering and voting in Minnesota elections, while also filing a judicial misconduct complaint against nearly the entire federal bench in the deep blue state.
Attorney General Todd Blanche said a federal grand jury returned the indictments alleging nine counts of illegal voting by an alien and nine counts of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote.
“Today’s charges allege that ten foreign nationals committed voter fraud in Minnesota, one voting illegally as recently as this August’s primary,” said AG Blanche. “The law is clear, only American citizens may vote in American elections, and enforcing this law is fundamental to our democracy. That should not be a partisan concept.”
During a press conference with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Blanche said the defendants illegally Voted in the November 2022 and 2024 General Election and as recently as the August 2026 Primary Election.
The defendants come from Liberia, Lithuania, Ghana, Germany, Bosnia, Brazil, Canada, and South Africa. Notably, one defendant, Joshua Frederick Kofi Edzie, is accused of voting illegally in the August 2026 primary.
Blanche told reporters that since President Trump returned to office, the Justice Department has prosecuted more than 90 people with voter related offenses, including 50 aliens in just the past five weeks. He added that there are currently hundreds of voter fraud cases being investigated across the country. Blanche contrasted that with the merely 13 cases that were investigated during the Biden years.
“That’s much different from what we’re doing,” Blanche said. “We’re focused on accountability and restoring trust in our elections.”
Blanche also announced that the Justice Department just filed the judicial misconduct complaint with 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing all but one of the Minnesota judges of violating various judicial canons, including speaking to the media during active lawsuits.
“Specifically, the former chief judge spoke on the record to the New York Times about the immigration [enforcement] surge late last year and early this year in Minneapolis,” Blanche told reporters.
The AG was referring to Judge Patrick Schiltz, the former chief judge of the U.S. District Court for Minnesota, who gave a 90-minute interview to the Timesin which he described the administration’s handling of Operation Metro Surge as a “grave threat to the rule of law.”
Six other members of Minnesota’s federal bench also agreed to speak with the Times, Blanche said, accusing them of violating their ethical duties.
The Justice Department argues that the Times article demonstrated that the judges had an animosity toward the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), undermining the impartiality of the federal court in Minnesota.
“These judges should be ordered to recuse from any matters involving DHS because the public reasonably questions their impartiality in cases involving immigration,” said Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter and Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward in the formal complaint.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin emphasized that the Trump administration will not allow the votes of American citizens to be cancelled out by illegal votes.
“Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences, including criminal charges and deportation,” Mullin stated. “Under President Trump’s leadership, this administration will never allow the votes of American citizens to be cancelled out by non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. Only American citizens should be electing American leaders.”

REPORT: Sensitive Data Of FBI Agents Stolen In Hack– trendingpoliticsnews.com News Source
EXCERPT:
The hacking group known as ShinyHunters is claiming that had obtained sensitive personnel information associated with Federal Bureau of Investigation employees and job applicants.
The group said the data was taken from systems linked to the FBI’s jobs portal and related services. According to a report from ABC News, which reviewed sample records, portions of the material appeared consistent with public records and other available information.
The FBI said it was investigating the claims and had not publicly confirmed the full scope of any intrusion or the origin of all of the material.
“We have compromised the FBI,” the group wrote in a message addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel and Cyber Division official Brett Leatherman. “We hold very sensitive data on almost ALL FBI Agents and individuals who filed an application with the FBI for a job.”
The group further stated that the operation was a response to a May 2026 FBI public advisory describing ShinyHunters’ methods and advising targets not to pay. It demanded that the FBI “correct or simply REMOVE” the advisory within a week.
In addition, the group said the effort was “not financially motivated and claimed to have taken two to three terabytes of data. They later stated that the material covered tens of thousands of current and former personnel and applicants.

SPRINGFIELD, IL — House Bill 3320, the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act, would bar any firearm manufacturer from operating in Illinois without a state license beginning January 1, 2028, and would set the total collected from those licenses at whatever the state calculates as the “public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths.”
The bill, introduced by Rep. Kevin John Olickal, creates the licensing program inside the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. A manufacturer operating in Illinois without that license after January 1, 2028 is subject to a civil penalty of up to $1,000,000 per month. A retailer who sells an Illinois consumer a firearm made by an unlicensed manufacturer is subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per violation. The Department may impose other civil penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, and the Attorney General may enforce the Act.
The fee structure is the part worth reading twice. This is not a charge calibrated to the administrative cost of licensing a regulated business. The bill says the sum of all firearms manufacturer license fees shall be equal to the public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths in Illinois. Whatever number the state assigns to those injuries and deaths becomes the invoice, split among the companies that lawfully manufacture a lawful product.
Just ahead of the midterms, President Donald Trump’s approval rating hit an all-time low at just 32%. This is according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll. Coming as they do just before the midterms, this does not bode well for the GOP ticket.
Poll: Trump’s Approval Rating Drops to New Low as Midterms Loom– www.breitbart.com News Source

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has fallen to a new low in another poll as the midterms are just weeks away.
Surveying 1,277 likely voters with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points, the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll found that the president’s overall approval stands at 32 percent. Even among Republicans, the president’s approval saw a significant drop in the week from 82 percent to 73 percent — a drop from 86 percent in January of this year and 91 percent following the inauguration in January 2025.
The president’s approval among Republicans has been steadily declining since the Iran conflict began, with recent polling showing a drop among his base even on economic issues. Since January, Republican support for Trump’s handling of the economy has dropped to 56 percent while Republican support for his handling of the cost of living has dropped to 44 percent.
“For really his entire political career, the president has enjoyed very strong support among the Republican Party and among his base, and that’s still true today, but it’s a bit less true,” Alec Tyson, senior vice president and lead pollster at Ipsos Public Affairs, told the Hill.
“Those are striking numbers,” Tyson added, “Numbers that we hadn’t seen until recent weeks here in our Ipsos polling.”
Approval ratings for the president as the midterms loom have ranged from as high as 39 percent to as low as 29 percent. According to Fox News, Republican performance in the coming midterms will hinge on several factors, most specifically inflation and base enthusiasm:
Democrats last week heavily criticized Trump and Republicans after the president argued that fuel costs were “a very inexpensive price to pay for what we’ve done,” as he pointed to the attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Meanwhile, the latest Fox News poll indicated that by a wide margin, the Democrats are considered the party that would better handle inflation.
But when asked about the overall economy, recent national surveys from Reuters/Ipsos and NBC News had the GOP and Democrats all knotted up on which party would better handle the issue.
The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.
The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling.

The Supreme Court rejected Republicans’ latest attempt to revive a GOP-tilted map for November’s congressional elections, ruling for a third time that even though the state held primaries under the new map, the old one must be used.
