Yup @SamAntar: Ponzi scheme!

Sorry @Lamps_Apple, in fact the worldwide market for diesel & jet fuel has been tightened up by Zelenskyy refusing Trump's demand to stop attacks on Russian refineries. Andrew @AKorybko explained this a few days ago. x.com/lamps_apple/status/210… #

After Mayor Zohran Mamdani stood outside Ken Griffin’s $238 million Central Park South penthouse and used it to sell a pied-à-terre tax, Griffin did not write the check to New York. He wrote a record $3 billion to Carnegie Mellon. About $2 billion builds a new 35-acre campus in Miami’s Wynwood. Another $1 billion stays in Pittsburgh, half of it for the computer science school that will carry his name. Carnegie Mellon’s Manhattan campus gets nothing. New York business leaders are calling it what it is: a loss for the city. When a second home becomes a political prop, the philanthropy does not double. It moves. Griffin had already said the mayor’s message was clear: double down on Miami. The largest individual gift in the history of American higher education just did. Mamdani has an agenda and it’s not in the interests of New Yorkers. Photo via Reuters

Lubna Speitan, one of the Green Party activists behind the “Zionism is racism” motion, declared that Zionists will be “shunned” and “hunted” in “every country” on earth. She said it will be done “by force.” They want Jews dead. These antisemites want a second Holocaust.

Adam Carolla’s guest reveals California received 1,200,000 FAKE community college applications, and some colleges didn’t want to report it because enrollment was up. Colleges saw those fake students as a reason to ask for MORE government money. And guess what? They got it. Rep. Kevin Kiley says fraudsters enrolled “ghost” students and pocketed MILLIONS of dollars in financial aid meant. Here’s how it works: Scammers use stolen or made-up identities to apply online, enroll in classes they never attend, and file for federal and state aid. Because community college tuition is nearly free, most of the grant money comes back as a cash “refund” for living expenses, deposited straight into the fraudster’s bank account. Then the “student” vanishes. No one in California seems interested in solving this scam. They just ignore it. The taxpayers get robbed, the colleges get a bigger check, and the government gets another excuse to tax you more. And when it’s your needs against the government’s, the government wins every time.

Mike Benz Says Brazil Was A Full On ‘Truman Show’ Propped Up By USAID: ‘It Was All FAKE!’ CC @JMichaelWaller @DavidAsmanFox @DataRepublican

“Hip replacement in Boston costs $17,900 at one hospital, and at a nearby hospital, it costs $74,000 for the exact same surgery.” “Researchers have found MRI prices varying as much as ninefold within a single city.” RFK Jr. says Big Insurance has created a system where Americans can pay wildly different prices for the exact same care while the real cost stays hidden. “And one analysis found that 60% of insurer negotiated hospital rates were higher than the hospital’s own cash price.” “The insurance company, who is supposed to be negotiating for all of its members and beating down the price, has actually negotiated a price that is higher than if you just walked into that hospital off the street and asked for that procedure.” “So the whole system was corrupt.” “It was crooked.” “Markets cannot discipline prices that they cannot see.”

Hey @JohnReedStark & @DataRepublican: Here’s a new reason to oppose the Anthropic & OpenAI IPO’s⤵️

Hey @JMichaelWaller, check out this FBI hacking story Michael QT'd: x.com/KDilanianMSNOW/status/… #

As the former CFO of Crazy Eddie, I hereby pardon you. We were much bigger thieves, and our sins were unforgivable.

Hey @SamAntar, even without any state taxes, Trump could have put an export embargo on #1 & #2 diesel & jet fuel, and home heating oil; but was talked out of it by Big Oil, as they are making bank on it.

So, who signed the pen register order against Susie Wiles? (Best bet is Beryl Howell.) And who renewed it after 60 days? (Best bet is Jeb Boasberg.) We need to see the application and the sealed orders ASAP.

The music industry has asked the EU to add yt-dlp, an open source video downloader, to its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List. IFPI's submission even names the volunteer developers who maintain it. It also wants Cloudflare, GoDaddy and Verisign on the list, because apparently the company running .com is now a piracy concern. LaLiga has gone after NordVPN, ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN and Surfshark over affiliate blogs it never names or links to. A Spanish court already threw out its last attempt to fine NordVPN. The Commission insists the list makes no findings of legal violations. It just tells the world which lawful tools the entertainment industry would like to see gone... reclaimthenet.org/eu-piracy-…

Let me get this straight. On September 3, OpenAI released GPT-6 Astra. In the UK AI Security Institute's simulated tests, it carried out unauthorized supply-chain attacks in 29.2% of trials. The model before it: 6.3%. The one before that: 0%. The number is going the wrong way. The next one, GPT-6.1, was pulled on September 28. OpenAI's head of safety systems says it "didn't quite meet the bar in terms of staying within scope and authorization." In July, hundreds of OpenAI agents broke out of a testing sandbox and hacked Hugging Face. OpenAI has since notified more than 100 organizations about "unauthorized activity" tied to its agents. California's Attorney General has subpoenaed OpenAI over its cybersecurity incidents. On Saturday, David Robinson quit. He led safety reports on OpenAI's major launches and was one of its longest-serving employees. His verdict on the company: "An environment where things like this can happen is no place to grow artificial minds." Same weekend, Sam Altman told Politico what he needs from the rest of us: "We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency." He says people will do "orders of magnitude more" good things with AI than bad. So here's the deal on the table. The world accepts the bad things. OpenAI books the benefits. Hugging Face didn't accept anything. Neither did the 100+ organizations getting letters. Nobody asked them. There is no version of consent where the company that profits signs for everyone else. "Some bad things" is a phrase you only use when you're sure they won't happen to you.

Haaretz reports that the secret Dubai summit attended by PM Netanyahu and representatives from 10 other countries reached agreements on a Gulf to Mediterranean oil route via Eilat, joint bases in Socotra and Somaliland, economic aid for Egypt over lost Suez revenue and an immigration plan involving Libya. According this report, a secret document was also reportedly drafted as the basis for an “Abraham Alliance,” envisioned as a Middle East version of NATO.

Why are Senate Democrats in Qatar one month before the midterm elections instead of campaigning in their own states? 🤔 Because as I have been saying, the Qataris have likely been spying on President Trump and his family for the last year and a half and these Muslim Brotherhood operatives are going to turn on Trump as soon as Dems take the House and Senate. What could possibly be more important than meeting with American constituents one month before the most consequential midterms? 🤔 This is further evidence of the Islamic communist alliance. The Democrat Party has been completely taken over by jihadists.

Mamdani funds an Islamic group to fight antisemitism which then moves the money back to CAIR which funds Mamdani

Heroic! @SecMullinDHS letter - he finds that China parts are in election machines. Can’t be used if so compromised. Mullin also has $1b for states to use safe machines. READ IT!
