Weird
I thought undemocratic was having your personal lawyer who is now on the Supreme Court illegally extend voting hours
But hey you tell your own tale.
Lula wins reelection in Brazil! Flavio Bolsonaro loses, in what I hope is an omen for the fate of undemocratic right-wing extremists worldwide. nytimes.com/live/2026/10/25/…

Former Venezuelan presidential candidate Alejandro Peña Esclusa is right. It is impossible for the right to have won the parliamentary elections 20 days ago so convingly and for Lula to have won yesterday with four million votes. As my friend Alejandro says, this was a coup.

Makes speeches for 500k a pop. Hasn’t eaten dinner that costs less than $250 in years. Has never been in a Cheesecake Factory. Undefeated at condescending to regular folks. Will always be known for a presidency that ushered in the Trump era to begin with.

Stud…and hero. 💪❤️🇺🇸
Coast Guard rescue swimmer rescues 16 people 140 miles off the coast of Baja California in pitch-black darkness while getting tossed by 8-foot waves.
24-year-old Josh Law is credited with the heroic rescue.
At 1 a.m., a call came in at the US Coast Guard Air Station in Ventura, California, from a boat sinking in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ensenada, Mexico.
The Coast Guard crew geared up and jumped into the helicopter before making the long trek to the boat.
The boat had capsized about 140 miles off the coast and threw more than two dozen people into cold water.
When the crew finally located the wreckage, they lowered Law by cable from the helicopter into the water.
He was the only rescuer in the cold water for 2 hours.
Law was in pitch darkness with no moonlight, in 6- to 8-foot waves, rotor spray and turbulence, and hypothermic water.
"I was experiencing exhaustion at that point... what I was experiencing was nothing compared to what they were at that point," Law said.
"With one hand, I’m holding the survivor. With the other, I am signaling to the helicopter and working with the device," he said.
He did this to rescue 16 survivors, placing them in the basket one by one before hoisting them up to the helicopter.
With fuel running low, the crew raced to the Coast Guard station in San Diego, California, which is about 160 miles south of the Ventura station.
Law said he treated the survivors during the flight. Some had injuries consistent with shark bites.
All 16 were Mexicans, and the ones with injuries were treated when they got to shore. About half have since returned to Mexico.
Eleven people on the boat were never found, but thanks to Law and the rest of the crew, 16 lives were saved.
Beast.

Talarico is a far left extremist

It is a matter of historical fact that the two groups most prone to murdering or enslaving Christians are Communism and Islam.
The Democrat Party is now under the control of a marriage of convenience between literal Communists and Islamic Jihadists. This unholy alliance is popularly referred to as the "Red/Green Alliance."
If you are an American Christian, know this: the Red/Green Alliance wants you dead, or enslaved, or bankrupted, or persecuted so badly that you will not be allowed to live freely in American society.
They hide behind the lies of benevolence of seemingly harmless masks like Talarico.
Those masks will fall as soon as they achieve power.
There should not be a single adult Christian staying home for the midterms. Christians must vote like their life depends on it, because it does.
Mass remigration before it’s too late.

This video is very important for Europe. It shows that those who loot, destroy cars, set fires and cause chaos speak Arabic. And if they speak Arabic, they are not Europeans. Let's assume many people won't want this video to spread, because it tells too much truth.

If only someone had spent 15+ years warning people "fact checkers" were arrogant, explicitly dishonest, censorious, and actively partisan!
Allegations of the Minnesota congresswoman marrying her brother aside… Ilhan Omar’s father was a high-ranking military official in Somalia’s genocidal Marxist-Leninist Barre regime.
This fact would have likely disqualified him from immigrating to the U.S. as a Somali refugee — and, by extension, prevented Omar from becoming a U.S. citizen through her father’s naturalization.
Snopes and Politifact buried the truth about Omar’s father, averting a scandal that could’ve been disastrous for her political career; @ashleyrindsberg reports 👇

Wait until you see what most countries do to the Pacific Ocean. A single trawler carrying garbage dumps about a million thousand times more “toxic sh*t” than a single spent rocket booster. But you won’t hear any outrage over that. Natural gas isn’t toxic by the way, and all of the propellant is burned up before it even reaches the ocean.
Elon Musk is developing reusable rockets precisely because everybody else’s products are single-use.
If anything, people should be thanking him for revolutionizing sustainable technology, not just with his rockets but also with his cars and batteries.

Why isn't this the lead story on every news outlet, both broadcast and cable?
The citizens need to know why they need to work two or three jobs to survive

If the AI bot swarms are in the banks, they’re likely already nested into voting machines, or will be very soon and will then work within the network to change votes. It’s a matter of when, not if this will happen. Elections should immediately be moved to ONLY paper ballots. Our $ and elections are at risk.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

Anyone with an 80 IQ can intuit the ‘wealth tax’ is a nuke for California’s tech industry and that there is no limiting principle governing the demands of California’s insatiable parasitic lib borg.
(Libs would rather devour the most dynamic and profitable industry in California than, say, rein in ethnic gangs looting Medicaid.)
That an ‘MIT economics professor’ would engage in moralistic scolding for tech founders reacting rationally to very predictable policy incentives and implications demonstrates extraordinary dishonesty, stupidity, or both. If this is the reasoning ‘economics’ produces perhaps the whole profession should go in the wood chipper.
What amazes me is the attitude of so many of the centibillionaires.
A 5% tax will not make any difference to the way they live. Their spending may be extravagant, but it is still much less than their (correctly measured) income.
They know that, as gifted as some of them indeed are, they have benefited from extreme luck (and the help of the state, and, to speak like an economist, monopoly rents).
They know that their effective tax rate is low, relative to what many others pay.
They know that extreme inequality is extremely unpopular, and can lead to political unrest, backlash, or worse.
They must admit that, morally, it is hard to argue for a society in which some become obscenely wealthy, while so many are poor and see their income stagnate.
They typically have not indicated that they are building their wealth to eventually make the world a better place.
But they are still willing to fight the tax, spending hundreds of millions in California to avoid paying the tax. Why?
They simply think what is theirs is theirs, end of story.
They believe in the slippery slope, and if they do not take a stand on this levy, the government will come back for more.
They hate the state and the notion that their money will be misused?
Or?

Either the French Police are delusional or the trick is up for the American left in denying the existence of Antifa. While Democrats have long denied the existence of the group, the French just declared that it is the largest and most violent group behind the riots. jonathanturley.org/2026/10/2…

Antifa, like noncitizen voting, “does not exist”
Oddly, both keep … seeming to exist
The French authorities identified Antifa as the largest of three “ideologically distinct groups” responsible for the violence in France. Apparently, some of our Democratic leaders need to explain that Antifa does not exist... jonathanturley.org/2025/10/1…

This is the funniest announcement I've seen in weeks:
"The European Union is working toward fast-track antitrust approval for a satellite joint venture between Leonardo SpA, Airbus SE, and Thales SA, which is positioned as Europe's response to SpaceX"
We know pretty much how this is going to go. With a vast wheezing and clanking of bureaucratic gears, the consortium be approved. It will provide extremely comfortable livings for a vast horde of bureaucrats, consultants, and hangers-on. White papers and bold, forward-looking plans will issue like confetti.
After approximately a decade of extremely expensive grinding, the consortium will have approximately the productive output of a wet fart.
The damage for SpaceX is massive
"The European Union is working toward fast-track antitrust approval for a satellite joint venture between Leonardo SpA, Airbus SE, and Thales SA, which is positioned as Europe's response to SpaceX"
The actions of the 🇺🇸 US administration have consequences.
Recent reports from 4 sources confirm that both Elon and Trump supported the restrictions of Starshield, which confirms my earlier posts stating that SpaceX is involved and part of it.
The Telegraph on Oct. 16 reported that it was Musk who proposed the speed cap to Trump — and Trump "agreed," one source said.
That sounds very likely to what really had happened including Elons denial to have any responsibility (half true) and Trumps lie which is just one more of the many he spreads every day. finance.yahoo.com/economy/po…
