MID-TERM ELECTION MADNESS
I can’t remember a mid-term election so contested and consequential as this one. The Democrats are running a fake candidate in the Alaskan Senate race, with the same name as the GOP Senate candidate, fully intending to split off Republican votes by confusing people. President Trump is holding campaign rallies around the country trying to stir up the MAGA crowd to action, but Republicans are concerned with all of the defections from their ranks over disappointment in Trump adding to high inflation in everything (not just fuel) and his intentions to continue with the futile war with Iran which is sapping our military strength, and providing no benefit that Americans can feel. I don’t mean that they are going to vote for the Democrats, which are scaring the nation with their vows to impose more Socialism on the nation. No former Trump supporter would do that, but they certainly aren’t enthused about Trump’s performance, compared to his claims about exposing the Epstein files, draining the swamp and halting foreign wars. In his typical arrogant style, this week, Donald Trump summed up for the nation when the Iran war will end with six defiant words: “Whenever I want it to end.” Which isn’t any time soon, given his refusal to cut his losses and stop the war. Trump is saddling himself with the full responsibility for all the war’s coming hardships, costs and ill effects.

Trump’s $8 Billion Farmer Fuel Bailout
Relief is real, the financing is not free, and the schedule is political. Diesel near $6 is a genuine emergency for row-crop farmers, and CCC exists precisely for fast action. But a program announced at a campaign rally, funded off-budget, and paying out after Election Day invites skepticism. The number to track is the per-commodity rate in November, which will tell you whether this is targeted loss relief or a broad pre-election transfer.

California Sends Nearly $369 Million in Wildfire Recovery Money to Developers While Survivors Still Cannot Rebuild
The Camp Fire and Woolsey Fire together killed 103 people and wrecked or damaged more than 24,000 structures. The Camp Fire alone wiped out about 14,000 homes in Paradise. The federal allocation of $1,017,399,000 was supposed to cover costs insurance and other aid did not. California’s Department of Housing and Community Development split the money between homeowner rebuilding and “affordable” rentals. Homeowners got the short end. Of the $222.4 million set aside for them, just $38 million had been spent by the end of 2023, rebuilding a total of 110 homes. Meanwhile developers collected $368.7 million.
She Took Her Triplets Back to China. She Returned With 2.
Now, she was at a Chinese airport, the triplets in her arms. Two strangers appeared, a man and a woman. They offered to hold her newborns. Tursun was only too grateful. But as soon as she handed her babies to them, their faces changed. Follow us, they instructed. They were the Chinese police. Thus began an ordeal that cost Tursun one of her babies and stole years of her youth.

WHO Kills MAHA-Backed Hepatitis B Baby Vaccine Trial
Per the study design, the control group of 7,000 infants would skip the at-birth hepatitis B vaccine dose and receive it later on at six weeks, whereas the experimental group of 7,000 infants would receive the shot immediately at birth, the objective being to assess potential adverse health impacts of the hepatitis B shot in day-old infants - a practice which the Public Health™ experts stateside have gone to war to shield from scrutiny, notwithstanding the facts that: · Screening mothers for hepatitis B is cheap and easy · Hepatitis B, outside of mother-to-infant transmission, is nearly exclusively acquired via unprotected sex and intravenous drug use, neither of which most rational people outside of Portland or Brooklyn would recognize as normal activities for infants

Musk Clarifies Why Starlink Speed Limits Were Throttled In Ukraine
The Wall Street Journal reported that Musk personally ordered the cap. One of its sources said he and President Trump discussed the move before it took effect, while others said they spoke only after it became public, and some U.S. officials said Musk acted alone. Administration denials have been broad. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said "there was no foreknowledge," Hegseth said "we haven't pulled anything back," and a White House official said "we didn't slow down Starlink at all." Trump has said he did not make the call but that Musk should not be blamed, AP noted.
