Are you sitting down? Republicans are currently showing signs of PRESIDENTIAL-LEVEL midterms turnout already in early voting in crucial states. Scott Presler breaks down the POSITIVE signals he is seeing on the ground for the GOP: In Texas, Republicans are leading Democrats by 50,000 early ballots and red counties are seeing Presidential election level voter turnout. In Pennsylvania, Democrats are DOWN 100,000 mail-in ballots from 2022, Republicans are up 50,000 and our return rate is matching Democrats. In Florida, Republicans have gained the early vote lead for Byron Donalds. Don't believe the polls. Get out and Vote EARLY, @ScottPresler

🇪🇺 Europe is falling apart, and Neil Oliver thinks the people running it know exactly what they're doing. France is burning, Germany is struggling, and Britain is being told to prepare for war. Across Europe, millions of people are watching their living standards deteriorate while their governments insist everything is under control. I asked him whether the growing warnings about Russia, the military preparations and the unrest spreading across Europe could be connected. His answer was extraordinary. Neil argues that Europe's political establishment has spent decades stripping individual nations of their sovereignty, weakening their economies and transferring power to Brussels. And now, as public anger grows, he believes the prospect of war offers something extremely convenient: An excuse for emergency powers, restrictions on movement, extraordinary government spending, and potentially even conscription. But here's where his argument gets even darker. Neil believes the unrest itself is being manipulated. He argues that the grievances driving protests in France are genuine, but alleges that violent elements are being deliberately encouraged to turn public anger into chaos. Why? Because disorder gives governments a justification to crack down on the very populations demanding change. But he thinks the establishment has underestimated one thing: “You cannot impose something unwanted on 500 million people unless they go along with it to some extent.” And he believes the moment enough Europeans withdraw that consent, the entire political project could unravel. @thecoastguy

The PHP patches are out Go and update!

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Iran’s blockade of Hormuz is failing: the Gulf is pumping out MORE oil than before the war Kpler's numbers for the week through Oct. 18: 24 million barrels a day out of the region against 23.3 million prewar, and Hormuz itself back to 82% of normal even though October has seen roughly 30 ship attacks, a fifth of the war's total. Saudi and Emirati pipelines now carry 40% of the Gulf's non-Iranian crude around the strait, up from 17% in February. Iran's own exports stay bottled up by the US blockade. The system doing it is ugly and EXPENSIVE. Tankers reportedly load inside the Gulf with their trackers off, dash through under American air cover along the Omani coast, hand the cargo to another ship in the Gulf of Oman and go back in for more. Crews get three times their monthly pay or a $25,000 bonus for one round trip, a supertanker run to China costs a record $37 a barrel in freight, war insurance has jumped from under 3% to 10% of hull value, and one ship that took an RPG through its water tank last week was carrying 2 million barrels of Iraqi crude at the time. Credit where it's due: CENTCOM said last week that the US controls Hormuz and Tehran's "closed" claims are lies, and the volume data backs Washington. Iran can still make the trip dangerous and the whole world is paying for it at $108 Brent, which is why gas is $6 and Trump is at 31%. But the leverage Tehran built in April, the actual shortage of crude, appears to be gone. Source: WSJ / Kpler / Writer: Daniel

Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines. If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly. Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

Interviewer: Would you accept a peace deal that freezes everything the way it is right now, where you still keep 75 percent or more of your country? Regardless of how it started, would you accept where it is right now? Zelensky: Yes.

BREAKING: The U.S. is now preparing to completely abandon Gulf countries, as Trump envoy Tom Barrack directly warns Gulf allies that Washington can no longer guarantee their security indefinitely, telling regional officials in Doha that they must take responsibility for their own defense, signalling the end of the U.S. security umbrella in the Middle East, per the Wall Street Journal. Barrack said the 80-year-old U.S. security-for-oil arrangement is no longer sustainable, pointing to regional defense partnerships as the way forward. The warning comes as Gulf states face Iranian strikes on U.S. military infrastructure and growing uncertainty over Washington’s future military commitment to the region.

This is the advanced building block technique.

"Kristen, no sanctions were lifted." Bessent to Welker: the only thing lifted is the diesel embargo. The U.S. imports $4B of Russian goods. Europe imports 10x that.

You cannot be happy if your primary identity is that of a victim... even if you really are one.

Brazilian politics is wild. They just left their podiums. Bolsonaro wrote “Corruption” on his hand and is telling Lula to stay far away so his wallet doesn’t get stolen. 😂

Unlike most people, I thought the debate between Lula and Bolsonaro WAS VERY GOOD Those who complain that debates exist to exchange ideas and present government plans should ask themselves what world they live in, because not even in mature democracies like the United States does that actually happen. Debates have only one real purpose, which is to reveal posture, serenity, the ability to answer under pressure, and above all the capacity to transmit confidence. In that sense the debate was not merely good for Bolsonaro. It was perfect. He answered at a high level the entire time, he never stuttered, he committed no gaffes, and he remained serene and confident throughout. Lula was a disaster. He stayed tense, he lacked confidence, he swapped words, and he even made serious gaffes against the people of Rio de Janeiro.

Heavenly Father, Today, we place our beloved Alberta in your hands. Grant us the wisdom to recognize truth and the courage to defend our freedoms against those who would take them from us. May today’s vote bring Alberta one step closer to independence. Let us never surrender, never lose faith, and never give up our fight to free her. May our children and grandchildren one day enjoy the freedom we are determined to secure for them. Protect Alberta and her people, and guide us in the days ahead. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

🚨 BREAKING: Right-wing Flavio Bolsonaro is DESTROYING socialist President Lula in tonight's debate, he just MIC DROPPED Lula for being a tyrant who effectively gives himself legal immunity while PERSECUTING his enemies LFG! "You were convicted at every level of the courts. You were convicted at the first level, you were convicted at the second level, you were convicted at the STJ (Superior Court of Justice), you were convicted at the STF (Supreme Federal Court). You were convicted at every level, Lula, and then your friends threw out your conviction! And YOU want to talk about JUSTICE!?" 🔥🇧🇷 He's right. Lula was convicted of corruption and money laundering in 2017, and an appeals court upheld it in 2018 and increased his sentence The Supreme Court threw out his convictions on a technicality. Convenient. The SAME COURT that's persecuting Bolsonaro's family! The runoff is next Sunday, Oct 25 Brazil is one week away from kicking out Lula! RUSH THE POLLS
