Internet outages in Asia, Mideast. Undersea cable cut in Red Sea
Undersea internet cables in the Red Sea have been cut, disrupting internet access to parts of Asia and the Middle East. The cause of the cuts weren't immediately clear, though China does have a deep-sea cable cutter.
Associated Press (via NBC) seems to think that Houthi rebels from Yemen have been targeting the cables, which sounds absurd - though parts of the red sea are only as deep at 100m (330 ft).
Undersea cables are a major component of the internet, along with satellite connections and land-based cables, with internet providers having multiple access points through which to reroute traffic if necessary.
According to internet monitor NetKBlocks, a "series of subsea cable outages in the Red Sea has degraded internet connectivity in multiple countries," which it says includes India and Pakistan. It blamed "failures affecting the SMW4 and IMEWE cable systems near Jeddah, Saudi Arabia."

Bad optics: Walmart scandal exposes deeper immigration hiring abuses
Walmart is reeling after revelations that a vice president in its Global Tech division allegedly pocketed bribes worth tens of thousands of dollars per day from Indian staffing firms.
The scheme, exposed not by auditors but through anonymous posts on Blind and Reddit, led to the abrupt termination of about 1,200 contractors many believed to be on H-1B visas. The episode has sparked questions not only about corporate governance at America's largest retailer, but also about how deeply Walmart has relied on foreign labor pipelines to fill U.S. jobs.
The current bribery scandal is not an isolated event, but rather is a flashpoint that pulls back the curtain on years of questionable hiring practices. From kickback schemes to vendor favoritism, to its deep ties with Indian outsourcing partners, Walmart's immigration history is riddled with red flags.
The company's public denial will not erase the growing perception that Walmart has been part of the broader pattern of visa abuse undermining U.S. workers.

Is your baby, doorbell or security cam spying for China? Florida’s top cop wants to know
Attorney General James Uthmeier issues subpoenas to Lorex seeking evidence of ties to banned CCP firm. A wide range of products from drone cameras to social media platforms have been accused of creating a "backdoor" for the Chinese government to spy on users.
Florida’s top law enforcement official has issued a subpoena to Lorex Corp., a top maker of baby monitors, security and doorbell cameras, demanding documents and information about its corporate structure, whether it has any ties to Chinese Communist firms and whether Americans' data or privacy can be breached. Those documents could provide evidence of illegal activity.
Attorney General James Uthmeier’s office said he believes Lorex, though North American-based, has imported large swaths of equipment from a Chinese manufacturer banned from the United States over alleged human rights abuses and national security risks.
“Lorex Corporation is importing millions of devices from CCP-controlled Dahua, which has been banned in the United States for human rights abuses and national security risks,” the office said in a statement. “AG Uthmeier must discover whether Lorex is selling re-labeled Dahua products which would introduce a range of cybersecurity vulnerabilities that would give the CCP a direct line into the homes and private lives of millions of Floridians.”

It’s time to eradicate transgenderism from public life
We don’t have to tolerate a demonic ideology that destroys lives, tears families apart, and keeps producing mass shooters.
The tragic news of the deadly mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis last week was quickly followed by the unsurprising revelation that the shooter, a 23-year-old man, identified as trans.
It should be obvious by now that transgenderism — the entire industrial complex of medical interventions, legal actions, social affirmation, and political rhetoric now attached to what was once called gender dysphoria — is a serious threat to public safety. As such, it should be outlawed and eradicated from public life.
When politicians promote and embrace transgenderism, there should likewise be repercussions, like the withholding of federal funds — similar to how Trump has dealt with universities that turn a blind eye to campus radicalism or antisemitism.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan have all made pro-transgenderism statements recently, with Frey and Walz both declaring Minneapolis and Minnesota to be a “safe haven” for transgenderism. If they persist in this, their state and city should be deprived of various sources of federal funding, and they themselves should become potential targets for Justice Department investigations.

She couldn't read her own diploma: Why public schools pass students but fail society
A nineteen-year-old college student is suing her former high school for negligence because she graduated despite being unable to read or write.
The student, Aleysha Ortiz, graduated from Hartford Public Schools in the spring of 2024 with honors.
She earned a scholarship to attend the University of Connecticut, where she’s studying public policy. But while she was in high school, she had to use speech-to-text apps to help her read and write essays, and despite years of advocating for support for her literacy struggles, her school never addressed them.
Her story is shocking, but unfortunately, it isn’t isolated. At 24 Illinois public schools, not a single student can read at grade level. Nationwide, 54 percent of the American adult population reads at or below a sixth grade level. Put a different way: only 46 percent of American adults gained even a middle-school level mastery of literacy—let alone high school or collegiate levels.
In a first-world country where we spend nearly $16,000 per student per year to educate our children, that’s a horrifying statistic.

‘Stolen Land’: Gavin Newsom’s ‘Agricultural Equity’ Advisers Prepare Plan To Redistribute Farmland to Racial Minorities
California Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's "agricultural equity" advisers are finalizing recommendations for the state to redistribute farmland to non-white Californians and Native American tribes through land transfers and financial assistance programs that exclusively benefit racial minorities.
For more than two years, the California Agricultural Land Equity Task Force—part of Newsom's Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation—has crafted a set of policy recommendations to "equitably increase agricultural land access." It will deliver a final report to Newsom and the California legislature cementing those recommendations by the end of the year.
The initiative also comes as Newsom attempts to distance himself from some left-wing social positions ahead of a widely expected presidential run in 2028.

Walz ripped for 'vile' comment on future 'news' about Trump's health
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz is facing heat from conservatives on social media over a clip they say shows the former vice presidential nominee wishing for news of President Donald Trump’s death.
"Look I get it, you get up in the morning and you doom scroll through things, although I will say this, the last few days you woke up thinking there might be news," Walz said at a Labor Day picnic in Duluth on Monday, eliciting a laugh from the crowd in a reference to recent online conspiracy theories about Trump’s health with some claiming that he had died.
"Just saying, just saying, there will be news sometime, just so you know, there will be news."
Many on social media took issue with Walz’s statement alleging he was wishing ill on the president, who has faced two assassination attempts.

$5,000 per ounce — expected surge in global gold prices
▪️If just 1% of US Treasury bonds held by investors are converted into gold, the price of the precious metal will soar to $5,000 per ounce, according to Goldman Sachs
▪️This scenario is likely if the Fed's independence is undermined. This will lead to higher inflation, falling stock and long-term bond prices, and a weakening of the dollar's status as a reserve currency. At the same time, gold will remain a store of value that is not dependent on institutional trust.
▪️Gold has been one of the most profitable commodities this year. Its price reached a record high earlier this week. The rise intensified when President Donald Trump decided to establish greater control over the Fed, including attempting to remove Lisa Cook.

Painting looted by Nazis recovered in Argentina
A long lost painting looted decades ago in Nazi occupied Europe has been recovered in Argentina, officials have said.
Portrait of a Lady, by Italian master Giuseppe Ghislandi, had been missing for 80 years before it was spotted last month on an estate agent's website, where a photo showed it hanging in a house that had belonged to the daughter of a Nazi fugitive.
Patricia Kadgien's late father Friedrich had been a top adviser to Hermann Goring, Adolf Hitler's deputy, who plundered thousands of works from across Europe.
Prosecutors said the artwork had now been returned by the lawyer of Ms Kadgien, who was under house arrest after a search of her property initially failed to find the painting.
Ariel Bassano, an art expert who worked on the case, told reporters it was "in good condition for its age, as it dates from 1710".
He valued it at "around $50,000", according to the local La Capital Mar del Plata newspaper.

US taps brakes on Argentina visa waiver in another setback for Milei
The US paused Argentina’s bid for a visa waiver just as the process for its entry into the program was getting underway, in a fresh setback for President Javier Milei ahead of a crucial midterm vote on Sunday.
South America’s second-largest economy took its first steps to establish visa-free travel to the US during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s visit to Buenos Aires in July. But that process is now reported to be on hold.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had concerns about a corruption scandal engulfing the libertarian administration and wanted to have more discussions about it before reaching an agreement.
A delegation led by the head of Argentina’s tax agency was sent home empty handed last week after a stop in Miami. Sources attribute the “diplomatic snub” to a lack of communication between Noem and Rubio’s departments.

The transgender shooter, the socialist Rifle Association, and the alarming rise of far-left militancy
Last week, Minneapolis was the scene of a nightmare. A transgender shooter stormed into a church, murdered two children, and then turned the gun on himself. Tragedy struck at the intersection of ideology and violence, but while the mainstream press will quietly move on from this story, the details demand closer inspection.
In the aftermath, investigators uncovered the shooter's personal journal. On it, a sticker of a gay pride flag emblazoned with an assault rifle and the words "defend equality." That very same flag is also displayed by the Minneapolis chapter of the Socialist Rifle Association (SRA), a self-proclaimed left-wing gun club that advocates armed struggle. Andy Ngo shared the images here.
Say what you will about America's increasingly bitter culture wars, but we cannot ignore the fact that much of the rhetoric surrounding the modern trans movement isn't just about self-defense, but about "fighting back," like this flyer, advocating for a trans day of vengeance.
What exactly do you think they mean by that?
The Socialist Rifle Association has more than 50 chapters nationwide, with several states hosting multiple chapters. We've been told for decades that America's great domestic terror threat comes from far-right militias in camo gear. But there is obviously a militant movement on the other side of the spectrum: a growing network of far-left militias preparing for what they themselves call "the revolution."

Apprehended killer of Ukrainian lawmaker says it was 'revenge against government' for loss of his son
Earlier this week a suspect was arrested over the murder of former Ukrainian parliamentary speaker and hardline nationalist Andriy Parubiy, who was shot execution-style in the streets of Lviv on Saturday.
By Tuesday a suspect was arrested and he confessed to the murder.
Initially, the killer was widely assumed to have been linked to Russia, given Parubiy has long been on a Russian 'most wanted' list for his role in the 2014 Maidan coup events, as well as overseeing far-right militias in the Donbass.
But the man in custody hasn't been found to be linked to Russia. Instead, the 52-year-old resident of Lviv described his killing the ex-lawmaker as an act of "revenge" against government authorities.
During an initial court appearance, the suspect called the killing as his "personal revenge against the Ukrainian authorities" and said he shot Parubiy "because he was nearby". He further told reporters outside the courtroom, "Yes, I admit I killed him."
He denied that he had been in contact with Russian intelligence or any foreign service in carrying out the killing. According to a summary of statements reported by CNN, the man was angry that he lost a son to the war.

Von der Leyen’s GPS scare gripped Europe. The Russia allegations are starting to unravel
Allegations that Russia jammed European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s private jet gripped Europe this week ― but the story is beginning to unravel.
On Sunday, a Commission-chartered plane on a tour of “front-line states” in Europe reportedly lost access to GPS signals while approaching Bulgaria’s Plovdiv airport. The Financial Times, whose correspondent was on the plane, wrote that the aircraft circled for an hour before the pilot landed using paper maps. Brussels and Sofia were quick to blame Russia, calling it “blatant interference.”
On Monday, flight-tracking service Flightradar24 revealed that its data showed the GPS signal was never lost and that the plane’s landing was only delayed by nine minutes. Public data also showed the same aircraft had experienced GPS jamming the day before over the Baltics — but not in Bulgaria.
On Tuesday, Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov toned down claims of direct Russian interference, calling the incident a routine glitch tied to broader fallout from the war in Ukraine.
“There is no need to investigate the situation," Zhelyazkov said, "because these disturbances are neither hybrid nor cyber threats.”

Trump asks Supreme Court to greenlight tariffs
The Justice Department asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to rescue President Trump’s tariffs invalidated by lower courts.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit struck down the bulk of Trump’s tariffs in a 7-4 decision last week, ruling the president can’t use emergency powers to justify levies imposed on dozens of trading partners.
“The Federal Circuit’s decision casts doubt upon the President’s most significant economic and foreign-affairs policy—a policy that implicates sensitive, ongoing foreign negotiations and urgent national-security concerns,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote in the administration’s Supreme Court petition.
The admin has asked the SCOTUS to expedite their review - and has asked for an announcement by next Wednesday as to whether the highest court in the land will take up the dispute and schedule oral arguments for the first week in November.
Several small businesses and Democratic-led states who filed the lawsuit in question say they have no problem with the Supremes taking up the case or the expedited schedule.
The tariffs will remain in place until the Supreme Court decides.

“We’ll put more there if they want,” Trump told journalists at a meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki. “They’ll be staying in Poland.”
Top officials in Trump’s administration have previously warned that U.S. troops could be pulled out of Europe, upending the transatlantic security arrangement.
About 8,000 U.S. troops are stationed in Poland, which borders Russia and is historically one of America’s closest European allies.

U.S. to release 300 detained South Korean workers
More than 300 South Korean workers detained following a massive immigration raid at a Hyundai plant in Georgia will be released and brought home, the South Korean government announced.
Presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik said that South Korea and the U.S. had finalized negotiations on the workers’ release. He said South Korea plans to send a charter plane to bring the workers home as soon as remaining administrative steps are completed.
U.S. immigration authorities said Friday they detained 475 people, most of them South Korean nationals, when hundreds of federal agents raided Hyundai's sprawling manufacturing site in Georgia where the Korean automaker Hyundai makes electric vehicles. South Korea’s Foreign Minister Cho Hyun later said that more than 300 South Koreans were among the detained.
The operation was the latest a long line of workplace raids conducted as part of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda. But the one on Thursday is especially distinct because of its large size and the fact that it targeted Georgia’s largest economic development project.

Brush rush: Florida residents are painting LGBTQIA+ symbols on their driveways instead of public streets
Since Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has made it harder for the LGBTQIA+ movement to paint its religious symbols on public streets, some are now painting rainbows and trans flags on their own personal driveways. One woman is leading the charge by putting her brush to homeowners’ concrete canvases for free.
Commenters say they have no problem with people having these colorful displays on their own property, just keep it off of public streets and sidewalks. Painting your own driveway is fine if you own it. Painting public crosswalks to advertise your sexual preference is not.
Commenters say these ‘safe spaces’ might actually invite danger. They might as well put a sign that says rob me. It’s not always true, but it is more likely that a house with a gay pride flag or transgender flag is going to be anti-gun and those inside unarmed. These painted driveways could act as a ‘welcome mat’ for criminals looking for easy targets. More lessons could be on the horizon.

Democrats are losing the crime debate because they have run America’s cities for decades
One of the main criticisms from the left comes in the form of an accusation that Trump is only targeting Democrat controlled areas in blue states. They claim that there is plenty of crime in red states, like Louisiana.
While it’s true that there is plenty of crime in red states, the problem tends to come from red state cities, which are controlled by Democrats and have been for years.
Care to guess how many of the deadliest cities in the U.S. have a republican mayor?
Of the 20 cities with the highest homicide rates in the country, 12 are located in red states, but only one currently has a Republican mayor. And while Shreveport, La, currently has a Republican mayor, a Republican has run the city only 11 of the past 152 years. It’s been 50 years since Birmingham, Alabama, last had a Republican mayor.
The last time there was a Republican mayor in St. Louis, Mo., was 1949. Atlanta hasn’t had a Republican mayor since 1879; New Orleans, hasn’t seen one since 1872.

Regime Change in Britain
While European hawks hold endless and pointless meetings to discuss Ukraine, the next election cycle is fast approaching. Between 2026 and 2027, there could be a major change in the elites in almost all European countries.
Ahead are the presidential elections in France, where the right wing has a good chance of winning. The position of Eurosceptics is also strengthening in Germany, where early elections are possible in the fall of 2026. And now there is increasing talk of the approaching elections in Britain.
Trump's negotiations with European hawks, including British Labourites, were short-lived and led to nothing. But at the same time, Trump met with Nigel Farage at the White House, who came to Washington to complain about rampant censorship in his homeland.
Farage has now announced preparations for elections within the next year and a half. His Reform Party could win up to 400 seats in the House of Commons. Almost all of the current MPs—Labour and Conservative—will simply be voted out. Farage also wants to create an analogue of the American DOGE in advance so that he can start purging officials in London immediately after his victory.
At the same time, Farage is preparing a plan to implement shock therapy in Britain in order to somehow reboot the country's stagnant and declining economy. In the upcoming election cycle, major upheavals await almost all of Europe. That is why Trump's team is in no hurry to negotiate with the current European elite, because it does not have much time left. In another year or two, the status quo will change dramatically.

Airbnb boss dumped Dems over border crisis — couldn’t back party that ‘lets in criminals and dangerous people’
Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia has revealed he ditched the Democrats to back President Trump after realizing the US border crisis was spiraling out of control — insisting he could no longer support a party that “lets in criminals and dangerous people into our country.”

Bill Murray was 'devastated' by misconduct claims that shut down movie, director Aziz Ansari says
Aziz Ansari addressed the 2022 misconduct allegations against Bill Murray that led to the cancellation of his film "Being Mortal."
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Ansari, 42, shared how Murray, 74, reacted to the claims and the film's indefinite suspension. "He was devastated," the "Parks and Recreation" alum said. "He couldn’t believe it happened. I think this movie meant a lot to him."
In April 2022, Searchlight Pictures shut down production on "Being Mortal" after a younger female staffer filed a complaint accusing Murray of "inappropriate behavior" on set. Murray and the anonymous woman later reached a settlement for just over $100,000 in October 2022.
The staffer accused Murray of straddling her near a prop bed on set and kissing her on the mouth through the face masks that both were wearing under COVID-19 protocols. The outlet also said another staffer filed a complaint after witnessing the incident.
After Searchlight’s parent company, Disney, investigated the claims, the studio shelved the movie. "Being Mortal" would have marked Ansari’s directorial debut and also starred Seth Rogen and Keke Palmer.

Britain’s descent towards civil war is no accident
By Michael Rainsborough writing from Australia
Many Australians, still bound by ties of kinship and tradition to the old country, see in the United Kingdom both a cautionary tale and an anti-role model: a once-settled, relatively harmonious state busily teaching the world how to dismantle itself through the enthusiastic embrace of liberal dogma.
As an observer no longer resident in Britain, I am reluctant to pontificate on the fate of my homeland. Yet it is a sight to behold: an establishment seemingly bent on self-destruction, clinging to an incontinent immigration system and an almost devotional attachment to international and human rights laws that disadvantage its own citizens. The Epping hotel protests — complete with the Home Office’s recourse to legal appeals — illustrate the point. No doubt the legal complexities are real, but such manoeuvres only pour petrol on an already combustible national mood.
The prospect of civil conflict is no longer whispered in private but debated openly. This is a healthy development. Britain and Europe are grappling with the results of elite overreach — economic stagnation, political paralysis, social fragmentation — and the question is no longer whether such conditions exist, but what their long-term trajectory will be.

University of Washington faculty want to hide their far-left agenda from the public
University of Washington faculty don’t want you to know what they’re plotting. That much appears clear from a recent email sent by Abraham Flaxman, an associate professor of global health at UW’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
He circulated a message to UW members of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), a notoriously far-left academic organization, urging colleagues to stop using their university-issued emails to communicate with the group.
Flaxman forwarded a message from national AAUP leadership that flatly admits the goal: keep communications away from the eyes of the public.
“Emails that are sent to an employer-issued email address could be accessed by the employer or be subject to records requests from legislators or members of the public, putting our members’ privacy at risk,” the AAUP’s digital organizer wrote. This means they don’t want taxpayers—or the media—learning about the ideological activism they push under the guise of academic freedom.
The national AAUP went further, openly fretting about laws in some states that restrict what kind of political communications public universities can distribute through their servers. Their solution is to instruct faculty to update their accounts with personal emails and, in the same breath, hand over cell phone numbers for “rapid response work.”

New details have emerged about the schemes of British Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner—it turns out that she used her disabled son for tax fraud.
Rayner set up a trust for her disabled son and used it to overvalue real estate above market value in order to obtain benefits. The trust received a large compensation payment from the Department of Health due to complications at the time of her son's birth.
Reiner used this money to buy an apartment in Howe for £800,000, while attempting to avoid paying tax on the second property by claiming that she no longer owned the first house. Since it was owned by her son.
At the same time, she continued to live in this house, which gives reason to believe that the alienation was fictitious and solely for the purpose of avoiding tax. The scandal sparked accusations of hypocrisy, against the backdrop of her previous attacks on political opponents on the subject of tax “optimization.”

The collapse of the British financial system — a scenario for the entire West
▪️The yield on 30-year bonds in Britain rose to 5.64% — the highest level since 1998. This means a rapid increase in public debt costs, with interest rates potentially reaching 13% of GDP in the long term, which would mean complete financial collapse, according to by the analytical company The Kobeissi Letter (TKL)
▪️At the same time, inflation is rising, but the Bank of England is lowering its key rate. The reason is simple — there is no other way out, as the British economy is approaching stagflation. And a humiliating loan from the IMF will not save the day.
▪️But Britain is not the only one with problems. The trends are spreading throughout the Western world. In Japan, the yield on 30-year bonds has reached a historic high. In the US, this indicator is testing the 5.00% level.
▪️“This explains the sharp rise in gold prices, it explains Trump's demand that the Fed lower interest rates amid rising inflation... The clock is ticking on a budget deficit disaster,” TKL emphasizes.
