Let me make this abundantly clear: If youโ€™re claiming Democrats are campaigning to โ€œchange the gender of three-year-olds,โ€ name the candidate. Produce the quote. Show the actual policy. There isnโ€™t a single democratic candidate running for Office, who has ever said that they want to change the gender of three-year-olds. In fact, there isnโ€™t a single candidate who has come out in support of any sort of sex change surgery for any person under the age of 18. This is all a problem that they made up in their heads because they know they canโ€™t run on inflation, gas prices, or the economy

One teen accuser described being forced to act as a โ€œhuman incubatorโ€, her newborn was immediately taken away at birth and never seen again. Documents also allege dead sex slaves were buried on the property. This is beyond disturbing. They need to account for every single baby and woman and where they are.

Portnoff is a highly respected New Yorkโ€“based clinical psychologist and clinical director of New York Psychology Practice, She earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Columbia University.

James Cleverlyโ€™s claim that the UK couldnโ€™t cut VAT because we were in the EU is wrong. In 2008, while the UK was an EU member, the government cut standard VAT from 17.5% to 15%. And in July 2020, during the Brexit transition period, the government cut VAT to 5% on certain hospitality and tourism services. EU rules allowed reduced rates on eligible services. Covid and the war in Ukraine make Brexitโ€™s precise economic impact harder to isolate. They donโ€™t make it impossible to estimate: the OBR still forecasts that the UKโ€™s post-Brexit trading relationship will reduce long-run productivity by 4% compared with staying in the EU.

๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ดNEW: NORWAY RAISES NATIONAL CYBER RISK TO HIGH AS ARCTIC UNIVERSITY SUFFERS TARGETED CYBERATTACK Norway is facing a deteriorating cybersecurity environment, with authorities reporting a sharp increase in successful cyber operations. On October 27, Norway's National Security Authority (NSM) publicly announced a HIGH national cyber risk level, the second-highest on its five-level scale. Key findings: โ€ข Successful cyber operations against Norwegian organisations have tripled over the past six months. โ€ข Defence, space and critical infrastructure sectors face particularly high risks. โ€ข Authorities warn that cyberattacks could disrupt electricity, water, mobile networks and internet services. โ€ข NSM and the Directorate for Civil Protection have urged the public to prepare for potential disruptions. Just three days later, on October 30, the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) disclosed a targeted cyberattack. Attackers successfully accessed several servers, forcing the university to take affected systems offline. University officials described the attacker as a well-resourced threat actor and confirmed that this was not a conventional DDoS attack. As of October 31, no theft of personal information had been identified. The attacker's identity and motives remain unknown, and no direct connection to the broader increase in cyber operations has been established. The developments highlight growing cybersecurity challenges facing Norway, including institutions operating in the strategically important Arctic region.

Russiaโ€™s information war against NATO is playing out on the allianceโ€™s eastern flank. This new @FPRI report ๐Ÿ‘‡ details how Moscow exploits ethnic divisions, disinformation and social media in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania -- with a broader goal: weakening NATO unity from within.
Russiaโ€™s influence measures seek to identify and exploit existing divides within the target society. In manipulating and amplifying these narratives, Russia: - Undermine public trust in target governments and democratic political institutions - Amplifies divisive fringe voices - Polarizes domestic debates - Spreads conspiracy theories - Blends real and fake news to create an information fog buff.ly/54zUW7z

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ช Anwar Gargash, diplomatic adviser to UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed, warned Sunday that the region is "braced for the worst" as US and Iranian positions remain far apart. "If these positions are not bridged, then we have to worry about the worst," he said at the International Institute for Strategic Studies' Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain. "We don't really want to see another round of confrontation in the region," Gargash said, adding that the UAE was ready "to protect our achievements, our development model, our country, our citizens and people who are resident here." He said Gulf states "have not collectively risen to the challenge," adding, "Nationally, we have." Gargash said all Gulf states are in contact with Tehran. "Of course, we are talking to Iran. All Gulf countries are talking to Iran through different channels," he said. He called restoring pre-war shipping through the Strait of Hormuz a non-negotiable priority, saying disruption to "the flow of energy, the flow of trade" cannot be "a cost that we will all bear because of a crisis that we did not create." He also said the war had exposed Gulf collective security in some cases "hollow," and called for "rebuilding Gulf confidence." ๐Ÿ”— More takeaways from the Economistโ€™s journalist below โฌ‡๏ธ
A few takeaways from a gloomy @IISS_org Manama Dialogue this weekend: - Very real sense of dread about another, more destructive round of war in the coming weeks, which is unsurprising - Gulf states are clear and unanimous that they don't want it, a difference from February, when messages to Washington were rather more mixed - At the same time, there was a feeling of resignation: no one willing to criticize the Trump administration in public, nor to talk in private about what sort of pressure they might bring to bear on America - There were even some bizarro-world discussions about opportunities for growth and connectivity in the Gulf. Trump is driving a car with no brakes, Gulf states are strapped on the roof, and people are somehow still talking about, like, IMEC and data centers - Barely any American representation, at a moment when America is deciding the fate of its Gulf allies - No clarity on what sort of deal (sequencing, nuclear concessions, etc.) the Trump administration would actually be willing to accept. And a broad consensus that Trump himself may not be clear - Lots of upbeat talk about the Mecca pact, middle powers playing a role in maritime security and so on; little evidence any of this is making a difference yet - Gargash offered some well-founded criticism of Gulf states failing to work together this year; everyone else offered paeans to Gulf solidarity that seem disconnected from reality In general, the feeling was a world in torpor: nobody wants this, and nobody has any great ideas for how to stop it

A deployment of 70,000 police officers and gendarmes largely prevented a repeat of the rioting and looting of Oct. 17, the Financial Times reported. Police arrested 779 people, down from 1,435 during the Oct. 17 riots. The ministry said "radical elements" tried to break off from marches in Bordeaux, Toulouse, Lyon and Marseille to loot but were stopped.

U.S. agents temporarily took control of much of Argentinaโ€™s Iguazรบ airport to facilitate Flรกvio Bolsonaroโ€™s escape to Miami, according to Argentine newspaper Clarรญn. The operation reportedly involved cooperation from President Mileiโ€™s government, which sent an adviser to oversee it. At least four private jets were used to create diversions and alternative escape routes, allegedly coordinated with the U.S. State Department. Bolsonaro reportedly traveled more than 1,000 kilometers by car to Argentina before boarding a private jet to Miami.

Many tankers are operating with tracking systems switched off, making actual traffic harder to measure. โžค Attacks and Casualties: The IMO confirmed 30 attacks on vessels in October alone and more than 120 since the war began. Two vessels recently sank in the strait, including a container ship. At least 24 seafarers have been killed, with several others missing or seriously wounded. โžค Mines and Environmental Damage: Dominguez said previous assessments indicated approximately 80 mines in the established shipping corridor, and there is no confirmation the waterway has been cleared. Attacks have now caused oil spills off Qatar, Oman and the UAE. โžค Global Economic Fallout: Citing UN trade data, Dominguez said jet fuel prices have surged 80% and shipping fuel approximately 70%. Diesel prices have risen more than 20% in over 95 countries. Disruptions are also affecting manufacturing and fertilizer shipments, threatening food security. โžค Limited Alternatives: Countries are developing pipelines, rail connections and alternative trade routes to bypass conflict zones, but Dominguez said land-based alternatives can transport only around 5% of affected cargo volumes.
