GLOBAL OUTLOOK

1. SCOTUS ENABLES MASS MAILER VOTER FRAUD – The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that a lower court ruling suspending President Trump’s XO attempting to make Mass mailer voting more accountable will stand, at least until AFTER the 2026 election. The ruling effectively enables Democrats to slow-walk close races in their favor using reserve “ballots” “registered” to the dead and non-citizens still on their uncleansed voter rolls.
2. THUNE LETS SAVE ACT DIE – The SAVE Act, aka the SAVE America Act, came closer to not being passed before the summer recess thanks to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD). The last attempt failed to pass by a vote of 48-50.

It now appears increasingly likely that mass mailer elections will continue at least until 2026, giving Democrats a decided advantage. For the progressive state press, this defeat of Voter ID legislation was celebrated. ED. NOTE: That assumption is now certain, that the mass mailer election will take place with little to no safeguards in place to give Americans confidence in the midterm elections.

3. TRUMP IDENTIFIES FOREIGN VULNERABILITIES TO U.S. ELECTIONS – President Donald Trump delivered a Prime Time Speech that failed to deliver rumored smoking guns, but hinted at ones to come. In addition to calling for a DOJ investigation of alleged voter fraud in Michigan in 2020, the President also identified vulnerabilities in the election system that puts it at risk of foreign influence, including from China. He also claims China affected the 2020 election. China has already denied the claims.

The speech’s main moment came with Trump’s claim that a set of documents “proves that for many years, Americans were blatantly lied to about the security of our election infrastructure, including electronic voting machines and ballot counting systems. They’re vulnerable, and they’re easily compromised, and people within our government knew that.”

4. TRUMP, AI TECH LEADERS PROMISE TO BE RESPONSIBLE – President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.

The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”

5. BIDEN’S FBI KILLED INVESTIGATIONS INTO FAMILY CORRUPTION – The FBI under President Biden ran a covert operation designed to neutralize any effort to investigate allegations of corruption by the Biden family. The operation was called “Rounded River.” The Trump White House Transparency Task Force released their findings this past month.
6. PROGRESSIVES RAN GLOBAL POLICY ILLEGALLY DURING TRUMP’S FIRST TERM – Catherine Herridge has been covering the efforts by progressives in the Trump administration who appear to have committed acts of treason by knowingly omitting and altering intelligence reports on China to protect China from Trump’s scrutiny.

Herridge claimed, “They had to save President Trump from his own instincts, from his own tendencies, and that there was very much a globalist view. And they had to preserve a globalist view. So, whether it was downplaying or suppressing intelligence about the threat from China, whether it was giving a pass and calling the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation, there was this level of a bureaucracy, a kind of conspiracy that was making decisions about the kind of information that should be reaching policy makers and ultimately the commander-in-chief.”

7. AMERICA LEAVES IRAQ – The last of any U.S. military overt presence in Iraq left the country this week, leaving Iran’s proxy militias an opportunity to gain influence. In addition to fears of Iran’s rise in influence, ISIS continues to remain present, capable of making another run at a caliphate.
8. IRAN’S ENDURING DEFIANCE LEAVES TRUMP QUESTIONING WHAT TO DO NEXT – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social a problem he is considering, “Do I Want to Go In and Annihilate Them or Do I Not?”

Internally, there are increasing reports of uprisings, and government “officials” abandoning their positions, but so far, no massive uprising has taken place. With congress recently passing a resolution aimed at stopping the Iran war, the President might have a limited window to operate in, one that needs to end with a pro-American government. ED. NOTE: See more on the Iran War in our Situation Report starting on pg. 2.

9. SCOTUS GIVES DEMS MISSOURI GERRYMANDERING WIN – The Supreme Court of the United States shut down the 2025 map for the Missouri midterm election, reinstating the 2022 map that preserves the Democrat-favored U.S. House District.

The unsigned order simply declared “At this late date, ordering reversion to the 2025 map in the midst of an ongoing election would usher in electoral chaos.” It should be noted that the primaries were based on the 2025 election map, giving doubt to SCOTUS’ ‘chaos’ claim as the basis for their ruling. A lower court ruling that gave the GOP the 2025 election map was struck down by SCOTUS by a 6-3 decision, cementing the Dems’ preservation of a presumed safe Democrat seat.

10. TEAM BIDEN APPROVED GOP PHONE SPYING – A report from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee reveals a high-ranking member of the Biden DOJ knew in advance of Jack Smith’s unconstitutional spying on members of congress. The report claims, “beginning in May 2022, prosecutors under the leadership of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves issued several subpoenas demanding telephone toll records for Members of Congress to identify individuals with whom they spoke around major votes in Congress . . .”
11. HAWAII INVALIDATES AMERICA’S SCOTUS – The Hawaiian Supreme Court has issued a recent ruling that spent tens of pages excoriating the Supreme Court of the United States. The majority held the Supreme Court was no longer valid because it overturned Roe, the 1973 ruling that decriminalized murdering unborn children.

The majority also held that due to the white supremacist nature of SCOTUS, Hawaii is no longer bound by its rulings. There have been no arrested issued by the Department of Justice.

12. CCP RUNNING OUTREACH PROGRAMS IN 83 U.S. COLLEGES – The Chinese Communist Party has been allowed to set up propaganda outreach programs in 83 U.S. Colleges according to a report by Defending Education.

The report claims the program is called “The Young Envoys Scholarship,” which sends 50,000 U.S. students to study or visit China. The program is “run by the China Education Association for International Exchange, an organization guided by ‘Marxism-Leninism’ and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism.”

13. XI’S PURGES CONTINUE – Another heavyweight CCP member found himself purged from power by Chairman Xi. Former Politburo member Ma Xingrui was the latest high-profile leader removed under Xi’s anti-corruption operation. The move shows Xi has still not consolidated power after last year’s attempted coup from within.
14. 14. EU’S AI ACT KICKS IN – The EU’s new AI Act has taken effect, which includes key provisions empowering the EU to regulate AI models and apply fines to companies that fall out of compliance. The law also gives the EU investigatory powers to penalize non-cooperating companies and individuals.

The Act itself presents a challenge to AI geopolitical realities of power as nations and associations like the EU attempt to use domestic laws to affect foreign AI powers. For instance, the fines countries give to foreign companies due to non-compliance with their AI rules could become weapons of war in the AI geopolitical reality of power.

15. IN SHADOW OF POLITICAL MURDER OF FORMER MP, BURNHAM TAKES THE UK HELM – On Monday, July 20, 2026, Andy Burnham inherited the UK as its new Prime Minister. He was appointed by the Labour Party through unanimous consent after winning a special MP election in Makerfield.

He inherits a divided Kingdom, having just witnessed a political murder of a former MP, Anne Widdecombe, in her home. Widdecombe is reported to have been beaten to death by a progressive activist. He drove three hours to her home to do it. He used a poled object to kill her.

16. HALF A MILLION DEAD RUSSIANS FOR A SCRATCH OF EARTH – A British military intelligence report is alleging Russia has lost half a million Russian soldiers in the war since 2023. During that same time, Russia has only gained 2% more ground than it had before.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Rich Knighton, chief of the UK armed forces, commented, “I think these numbers illustrate clearly the senseless and futile waste of human life for such little progress, and against such an illegitimate aim of President Putin.”

17. META SECURES A $16.7 BILLION CHILD ADDICTION SETTLEMENT – A Federal lawsuit against social media giant Meta has been settled. Meta has agreed to pay $16.7 billion in an agreement with multiple states Attorney Generals. California is one of the states, but Texas and other large states are not. The lawsuit charged Meta with facilitating childhood social media addiction.

California State AG Rob Bonta said of the settlement, “Today, we have secured a settlement with Meta that will make social media less dangerous for our kids and make a world of a difference for children and their families,” Bonta said in a statement. “Meta has agreed to make massive transformations that will reduce the risk of harm from its platforms — and will do it within months.”

18. SCOTUS RESTORES SOME VOTER ID PLUMBLINING FOR TRUMP – By a vote of 6-3, SCOTUS empowered President Trump’s administration to resume using Social Security records to confirm only citizens are voting in the election. The three progressive state judges voted against the decision. The ruling removes a lower court injunction against the administration.
19. NOTE: Be sure to read our special October 30 MIA Monthly issue where we will give you a detailed report on the midterm elections, including a predictive analysis.
20. SISTER TAKES PLACE OF FALLEN LINDSEY GRAHAM – Not long after Lindsey Graham had spoken to President Trump, he had a sudden medical emergency he would not recover from. It was later learned he had a heart attack due to a ruptured aorta. His sister, Darline Graham, was appointed by the Republican South Carolina Governor to finish his term.

She said of her acceptance of the appointment. “It is such a privilege to get to finish some of his important work, and I promise to work hard over the next several months to support the president and carry forward the efforts of my brother on behalf of the citizens of South Carolina and the United States.” She added she was sure he would have wanted her to finish his term.

NOTE: Graham has also won her primary, meaning she will be running for election in the 2026 Midterm election.

21, PROGRESSIVE STATE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS FORMED CONFIDENTIAL GROUP TO PLOT JUDGEFARE ASSAULT ON TRUMP PRESIDENCY – Democrat State Attorneys from across the country were coordinating their efforts to plot legal entanglements for President Trump before the 2024 election, while Biden was still running against Trump.

The group was called “Privileged & Confidential Common Interest Agreement.” It was a secret society of progressive DAs who wanted to go outside the bounds of government accountability record-keeping to plot their intentions to sabotage the Trump Presidency. What hasn’t been revealed is whether progressive judges were in that group. All signs point to “yes.”

21. WALZ PARDONS CHILD RAPIST – In what appears to be a move to save an illegal alien from deportation, Tim Walz pardoned an illegal alien convicted of raping a child. He was joined on a three-member panel by Democrats Keith Ellison and Natalie Hudson. Ellison is Minnesota’s Attorney General. Hudson is the state’s Chief Justice.

DHS spokeswoman Lauren Bis responded to the decision, claiming “Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.” Marco Rubio has intervened and the illegal immigrant has been deported.

22. PROTESTS GROW IN UKRAINE OVER ZELENSKY’S MILITARY FIRINGS – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has chosen Major General Ihor Skybyuk to become the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Force. The move follows numerous shake-ups in military leadership that are leading to street protests from Ukrainians.

Zelensky said of the appointment, “We determined the order of further steps. Today, decisions regarding the replacement of the leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be formalized — the relevant decrees are being prepared. Together with Mykhailo Drapatyi and Yevhenii Khmara, we determined that the new chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be Major General Ihor Skybyuk — a very experienced military officer, with whom the new commander-in-chief defended Ukraine side by side.”

23. MAMDANI RELEASES EVIL CAPITALIST “PROSCRIPTION” LIST – The Marxist-Islamist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, has just released what appears to be a de facto proscription list for his foreign-paid street fighters to target. He released a list of property owners, including their names and addresses, who own another home outside the city.

While the information is public, the signal is clear; Attack these people. Mamdani ally and national Democrat Socialists of America co-chair Megan Romer made that clear when she said on Fox News “We will win by making conditions so intolerable to the ruling class that they would rather give in to our demands than live with the disturbance we cause.” Disturbance is a dog whistle for violence. Ruling Class is a dog whistle for white people.

24. 30-YEAR TREASURY BOND YIELD SPIKES – The 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield hit 5.501%, which was a high not reached since June of 2007. The spike came after U.S. economic data showed a stronger than expected economy, raising concerns there would be more Fed rate increases to combat inflationary pressures. High oil prices have also contributed to the spike. The rate is a benchmark for long-term interest rates and long-term borrowing.
25. TRUMP REDEPLOYS TARIFF GEOPOLITICS – President Donald Trump appears prepared to utilize tariffs as a geopolitical tool once again. He announced a 50% tariff on Canada that came without warning. He followed up this announcement with more tariffs targeting multiple nations he accuses of practicing “forced labor.” This could indicate the administration believes it has a legal path to apply tariffs that don’t conflict with SCOTUS’ recent ruling on tariffs.
26. CANADA-US TRADE WAR IS ON – After President Trump announced new tariffs targeting Canada, Mark Carney’s administration has responded by meeting Trump’s tariffs with similar ones of his own. U.S. progressive state media has reported on the trade war decidedly from a pro-Canadian perspective.

During the trade war, Alberta continues to go forward with a referendum to secede from Canada. Canada’s progressive state press have now taken to refuse to refer to 9/11 as a terrorist act, telegraphing open hostility to America.

27. CLANCY DEFENSE WANTED TO USE LAWFARE TO PERSECUTE LONE HOLD-OUT – The lone-hold-out in the Lindsay Clancy child murder trial faced a lawfare campaign by the Clancy Defense team. Clancy Attorney Keving Reddington was hoping Judge William Sullivan would examine the juror’s private data to determine if he did something inappropriate.

The judge denied the unusual filing This is the same attorney who led a campaign against the holdout juror while deliberations were still going on.

28. APOCALYPTIC FLASH FLOOD DEVASTATES TIBET AND NEPAL – Major flash floods from a glacial collapse devastated parts of Tibet and Nepal, with Nepal being the hardest hit. The flash floods removed whole villages, hitting them with 30-plus-foot high walls. The alleged current death toll stands at over 1,000, with nearly 4,000 still reported missing as of the end of September 2026.

The true death toll may be much higher. There were scores of foreigners among the dead, including 60-plus Americans. They were there to make Hindu pilgrimages.

29. DEMOCRATS PROMISE TRUMP IMPEACHMENTS, INVESTIGATIONS WITH 2026 WIN – The Democrats made it clear to the American voter that a midterm win for them will be constant “investigations” of Trump and his allies for us. The Democrats are threatening Cabinet officials, Trump family members, and Trump himself with numerous “criminal” investigations. This is in addition to the impeachment they promise to deliver should they win in the midterms.
30. ONE IN THREE DEMOCRATS ADMIT TO WANTING TO KILL TRUMP – Nearly one third of Democrats responded yes to a poll question asking them if they’d support President Trump being assassinated to remove him from office. 23% said they’d feel very positive if the President were assassinated, while 8% said they would be somewhat positive. 25% most likely hid their true views, claiming they had no opinion one way or another.

A person who feels neither one way nor another about a political assassination is de facto admitting they approve of violence as a means of political persuasion. No person who disapproves of political violence would respond with no opinion. This poll most likely shows most Democrats (59%) support murder as a means of political persuasion, murder that would not stop with the President.

HEADLINES MISSED

1. DHS FINDS CHINESE PARTS IN U.S. VOTING MACHINES – Due to a breach in security, the Department of Homeland Security has let states know it will be conducting spot paper ballot audits of U.S. voting machines this November.

The announcement comes following news Chinese parts have shown up in U.S. voting machines, giving the Chinese government potential opportunity to manipulate election results. This is a follow-up on the announcement President Trump made in July about Chinese interference in U.S. elections.

2. AI IS GOING INTO TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT – A surge in hidden debt among AI giants like Oracle and Meta is setting off alarms in the industry. The hidden debt comes from future payment liabilities for operations not yet online to make money. For instance, leases and property taxes must be paid on sites that are earmarked for databases that haven’t been built or completely built yet. The hidden debt amounts to more than $1.65 trillion.
3. EU WANTS AI TO ENFORCE ITS WOKE CENSORSHIP LAWS – The EU is ordering AI agents like ChatGPT to enforce its recently enacted (and now in-effect) Online Censorship laws. These laws protect favored classes like Muslims, homosexuals, and people of color from “offensive” language. They also penalize positive expressions of unfavored classes like Christians, heterosexuals, and whites.
4. PAYING FOR TRUMP’S TRUTH? – President Trump’s Truth Social announced plans to offer corporations the opportunity to see the most influential Truth Social posters’ posts a few seconds before everyone else does. The offer is for institutional clients, specifically banks, hedge funds, and high-frequency traders, only. You pay for a few seconds of insider trading.

The ethicality of the decision is being questioned across the political sphere, as is the legality. The question is this: Is this not simply selling Presidential influence? The product is Presidential power to move markets, not Trump’s wisdom. The interim CEO, Kevin McGurn, said, “Markets are already reacting to Truth Social posts. The Truth API will provide direct, licensed access to the platform’s most market-moving content, while allowing us to monetize our own assets.”

5. FRANCE UNDER IMMIGRANT ASSAULT – Multiple riots have broken out across France, triggered by immigrants demanding more resources for the schools they don’t pay for. The Islamist immigrants have taken to the streets to burn churches, people, and businesses, as well as assault French women who are caught in the mob rush. French progressives, aligned with Islamists, are assisting the insurrection. The Islamists are also demanding all calls to deport them be cancelled, or the beatings will continue.
6. 6. CHINA OFICIALLY BECOMES AN ETHNO-NATIONALIST STATE – China’s Ethnic Unity Law took effect July 1, 2026. The law appears to attempt to advance Han ethnic supremacism both within China and globally. Global concerns about the law’s effects on ethnic minorities within China were met by claims from CCP officials that the law was meant to “protect them.”
7. CANADIANS LEARN FROM CHINESE MEDIA THEIR GOVERNMENT IS COOPERATING MILITARILY WITH THE CCP – Canada is playing a dangerous game, first with its pushback on the Trump tariffs, and now with its cozying up to America’s greatest threat, China. Canadians learned from a Chinese news report that their Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had been secretly negotiating with the CCP to develop a plan for military cooperation between the two countries. The move makes Canada a threat to U.S. security.
8. CHINA BUILDING AI ROBOT ARMY – China is working on developing an AI-run robot army equipped with humanoid “soldiers” with AI brains. Reuters is claiming that an investigation of their procurement records reveals the army is already being built. They claimed they reviewed “more than 100 Chinese military procurement notices, academic studies, patents, official publications, government records and defense-company materials.” This led them to conclude China is building an AI robot army.
9. MUSLIM CONGRESSMEMBERS VOTE FOR AMERICA TO PAY THEM 9/11 REPARATIONS – Because of the “Islamophobia” that followed from the 9/11 attacks, Muslim U.S. congress members voted on a resolution demanding reparations from Americans. They reckon the pain of hearing disfavor about their religion was more painful to them than the pain their religion caused on Americans by murdering thousands of our brothers and sisters.
10. CHINESE BILLIONAIRE IS MAKING FUTURE CCP AMERICANS THANKS TO SCOTUS – Thanks to the Supreme Court’s refusal to defend American sovereignty from foreign invaders, a recluse Chinese billionaire has hundreds of “American” children. Xu Bo is alleged to have been using surrogates to bring to term his embryos on American soil so that his children will be born as American citizens.

Our enemies have children birthed on American soil; these children are then taken to their home country, trained in their home country’s ways, and sent back as “legal” invaders, scouts, saboteurs of the country they have no business being citizens of. After SCOTUS’ ruling that upheld birthright citizenship covers anyone born in America, our enemies have increased their efforts to create future “legal” invaders of America.

11. SOUTH KOREANS GO NORTH WITH FAKE NEWS LAW – South Korea has passed a new law that penalizes journalists for sharing “fake news.” The Journalists Association of Korea said of the law, “Even if a law’s objective is legitimate, it could erode the foundations of democracy if it’s enforced in a way that discourages the media and ordinary citizens from freely criticizing and scrutinizing those in power.”

This is yet another lurch towards policies more in keeping with North Korea than what South Korea has been after the Korean War.

12. AI IS NOW CREATING NEW VIRUSES – Researchers at Stanford University were using AI to study pathogens of existing viruses. In the process, they trained AI perhaps too well, for now AI can design viruses. The researchers claim the AI was only intended to be used as “virus surveillance,” but somehow, they went beyond that point. The AI designed 16 new viruses.
13. CCP HACKERS BREAK INTO MAJOR U.S. GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS – The Department of Justice announced the disruption of a Chinese Communist Party hacking operation that had successfully accessed government networks. Some institutions breached include the Senate, the DOJ, NASA, and the Federal Reserve.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “Today we announced the disruption of a global botnet and hacking platform used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers to target U.S. critical infrastructure. These tools were used by PRC cyber actors to hide the origin of their attacks… Today’s action is just the latest technical operation against PRC-sponsored hacking – and in support of President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America, the FBI is surging efforts to shape adversary behavior and defend the homeland in cyberspace.”

14. PRO ABORTION STATES FALL BELOW REPLACEMENT RATES – The states that allow abortion are falling below replacement rates for their populations. The 10 states that allow abortion up to birth are doing the worse, with Vermont being the worst of the worst. They have a total fertility rate of 1.27. The TFR needs to be above 2 to meet replacement requirements.
15. GERMAN POLITICIAN FACES JAIL TIME FOR CHALLENGING “MAP” ACTIVIST – A German politician who challenged a pro-pedophile activist on social media could face two years in prison for committing a hate speech crime. Vanessa Behrendt was challenging an openly “minor attracted person” for advocating adult-child sex on social media. The pedophile reported her comments to German authorities, who opened a “hate speech” investigation against the one challenging public advocacy of child sex.
16. U.S. PROPS YEN WITH EUROS – The Department of Treasury used its Exchange Stabilization Fund to buy Japanese Yen in the hopes of propping up the dangerously weak currency. This hasn’t happened in 30 years. The U.S. is not using U.S. dollars; it is using Euros.

This action follows a recent previous Treasury intervention to help a weakening Argentinian currency. That deal resulted in the loan being paid back in full (at profit). These interventions signal a shift in Treasury policy from two plus decades of international currency passivity to aggressive interventionism.

17. ANTHROPIC SAVES THE WORLD AGAIN AND AGAIN – Anthropic is claiming it has prevented multiple attempts by bad actors to use Claude AI to execute terrorist actions. The attempts included kamikaze drone swarms and biological weapons.

They posted on their X account, “We’re publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people tried to misuse Claude—for cyberattacks, influence operations, surveillance, biology, and building weapons—and how we found and stopped them. We disrupted every operation in the report…”

18. FORMER U.S. CABINET MEMBER SERVED CCP WHILE IN OFFICE – Elaine Chao, a former Bush and Trump-era Cabinet official, is alleged to have been working for a CCP-controlled agency while also serving in the U.S. government. The organization she worked for was the United Front Work Department (UFWD).

A Congressional Select Committee memo claims “United front work damages U.S. interests through legal and illegal technology transfer, surveillance of Chinese diaspora communities, promotion of favorable narratives about the PRC through ostensibly independent voices, and the neutralization or harassment of critics of the CCP.”

19. CANADA’S NEW HATE SPEECH LAW IS ALREADY TRIGGERING POLICE VISITS – The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is reporting numerous Canadians have already been contacted by police about their social media posts in response to the new “Combatting Hate Act” becoming law. Currently, the UK is number one in social media arrests worldwide, which is worth noting because Canada’s anti-speech laws are similar to the UK’s anti-speech laws.
20. FCC LIFTS LIMITS ON LOCAL TV STATION OWNERSHIP – The Federal Trade Commission voted 2-1 to lift FCC restrictions on local tv station ownership. The ruling will allow companies to own local stations that cover more than 39% of the U.S. They can now also own more than one tv station in a local market.
21. PROGRESSIVES KILL COLLEGE INTELLECTUAL FREEDOM PROJECT – The Iowa Legislature created the Center for Intellectual Freedom at the University of Iowa. It has an advisory board overseeing the launch of the Center. Now, nearly half of the advisory council has resigned, claiming the terms the university was setting would kill the legislative intent of the Center.

One member, Richard Lowery, wrote, “The legislature created the center in 2025 to teach and research the ideas behind the American constitutional order and to promote free speech, civil discourse, and intellectual diversity on campus — and on the terms the regents have now set, it cannot do what the law created it to do.”

22. SCIENTISTS CALL FOR A 50% REDUCTION OF HUMANITY – A group of scientists released a public statement calling for humans to reduce their numbers by 4 billion by the year 2200.

They wrote, “We show that slowing and gradually reversing population growth to ∼4 billion or less by 2200, while moderating per capita impacts, is the path toward sustainability. Global environmental problems are caused by people, nothing else. The more of us there are, the greater our overall economic demands and the greater the associated environmental problems.”

23. THAILAND UNDER ISLAMIST ATTACK IN THE SOUTH – Thailand’s Prime Minister held an emergency meeting after a coordinated series of attacks by Islamist terrorists in the nation’s southern-most province. The attacks come at a time when Thailand is still dealing with a major flood crisis in the north. There were 51 reported attacks that included bombings, arson, and property damage. No security or police forces were targeted. The attacks appear to be aimed at damaging infrastructure and causing disruption.
24. VIOLENCE TO STOP FREE SPEECH IS BECOMING A COLLEGE VALUE – Foundation For Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) released a poll that revealed 30% of surveyed college students approve of violence to stop free speech rarely, which is down from last year’s high of 34%. However, of that group, half (or 15% total) said yes to violence to stop fee speech “sometimes,” not just rarely; 3% chose “always.”
25. NEW YORK SELLS SUICIDES – On the day Progressive New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to pass euthanasia legislation, a company named Quietus began selling suicide. The company offered this $12,00 deal to New Yorkers through the progressive state press: “Imagine that instead of taking medication to fend off death from a terminal illness, a person could pay to take a concoction that will end their life in minutes — giving them full control of when and where they die.

“… Before their scheduled death, patients get two medical evaluations and a mental health screening, as well as a prescription for the drugs needed, including lethal doses of cardiac medication, that will end their life. The $12,000 cost for the patient covers all of this and help for the grieving family after their passing.”

26. CANADA FINES DOCTOR FOR NOT TRANSITIONING CHILD – Canada’s British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal has given a Christian doctor a $28,000 fine. The reason for the fine is because the doctor has refused to prescribe puberty blocker medicine to a teenager. The Doctor had clearly informed the patient and her mother, which he documented in his records.

He wrote “I noticed that the injection is for gender re-assignment as patient is already in the waiting room with (her) mother. I called mother into the room and explained to her that I would not be able to give the injection. Based on my religious belief and cultural background.”

27. POPE PROMOTES PRO-LGBTQ PRIEST TO BISHOP – In another sign of the erosion of the Catholic church’s leadership, Pope Leo XIV has promoted a pro-LGBTQ, anti-church priest to Bishop. Father Mario Leon Dorado has been outspoken in his support to “bless” “irregular” couples (meaning homosexuals), as well as calling on the church to fade away the way John the Baptist did when Christ was baptized.

He declared in 2022, “There is the ecclesiological challenge: the Church as a sacrament at the service of the Kingdom of God. The Church is called to disappear so that the Kingdom may grow, in analogy with the experience of John the Baptist…. The experience of John the Baptist is the experience of the Church.”

28. UK MIGHT BE OVER? – Leaders of Scotland, Wales, and Ireland are calling for a breakup of the UK. The leaders of these three nations are hoping to jettison London in favor of the EU. Scottish First Minister John Swinney, Welsh First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth and Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O’Neill all signed a declaration that claimed, “Westminster is coming to an end.”
29. SCIENTISTS SHOW HUMAN SPERM COULD BE GROWN IN A LAB – The growing human male infertility rate could be offset by growing human sperm in a laboratory’s mini-testes. A group of scientists published a report in the peer-reviewed journal “Cell Stem Cell” claiming to show they are close to growing human sperm in a lab. Researchers are hoping to convert stem cells to sperm cells by exposing them to chemical signals that will do the transforming.

From the report, “… the researchers combined the human or monkey germ cells with supportive cells from mouse fetuses. Together, these cells self-organized into a three-dimensional structure called a xenogeneic reconstituted testis… What grew in this setup closely resembled both the appearance and gene activity patterns of real human germ cells during the early stages of sperm development.”

30. SURROGATE SUED BY GAY COUPLE FOR KEEPING BABY – An unborn child with a cleft lip faced abortion in Canada if a gay couple had their way. The child was living in the womb of a surrogate mother, who refused to abort the child despite the gay couple’s demands. The lawsuit was filed in Ontario, Canada’s Superior Court. The woman gave birth to the child; now the gay couple is seeking monetary compensation after failing to compel her to murder the unborn child.

The gay couple wrote the surrogate mother, “Considering that medical tests indicate that the fetus has, or is likely to have, a genetic, chromosomal or other abnormality or defect, and in accordance with article 8.5 (a) of our surrogacy agreement … we want to inform you of our wish that the pregnancy be terminated. Although very difficult, this decision is free and informed.” The child was born healthy.

PEOPLE ADVANCE

1. TRUMP SECURES GREENLAND – President Trump announced he has secured a deal with the Netherlands that effectively gives the U.S. security oversight on the island. The deal assures no enemy of the United States can gain a foothold on Greenland soil.
2. TRUMP NO-SIGNS DIGITAL DOLLAR BAN – Thanks to President Donald Trump’s non-signature, America is under a state digital dollar ban at least until 2030. The 21^st Century ROAD to Housing Act was allowed to become law simply through the President’s non-signing. Within that law is a provision that prohibits the U.S. from developing a U.S. digital dollar at least until 2030.
3. ISLAMIST IMMIGRATION DOWN 96% SINCE 2024 – The number of immigrants coming from Islamist nations has plummeted under President Donald Trump’s watch. Immigration from Islamist nations has dropped 96% since the President took office.
4. GERMANY’S PRO-GERMAN PARTY WINS STATE ELECTION – The only pro-German political party in Germany, the AfD, won 44% of the vote in a Saxony-Anhalt state election. The party fell just short of a majority for the state government, having captured 39 of the 83 seats in the State assembly. They fell just three seats short of a majority. The response from the “Planvasion of Germany” parties was to call for the AfD to be banned.
5. TRUMP DOUBLES U.S. OIL RESERVE WITH ONE DEAL – President Trump has announced an historic deal with Venezuela that secures 65 million barrels of Venezuela’s oil reserves, which more than doubles the U.S. oil reserves.

The President posted on Truth Social, “The United States of America has just entered into an Agreement with the Country of Venezuela on, THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY!… This Historic Transaction MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future, while helping to continue to set Venezuela on a course toward Tremendous Success and Great Prosperity”

6. EUTHANASIA FAILS AGAIN IN BRITIAN – Another attempt to legalize euthanasia in Britian has failed after a 286 to 270 vote defeated the latest bill. The legislation began the practice of euthanasia the same as many other laws, targeting only those with minimal diagnosed time to live. Later, the expansions of the eligible comes.
7. FRAUD EXPOSED IN OBAMACARE LEADS TO THOUSANDS OF CANCELLATIONS – Vice President JD Vance announced 750,000 fraudulent Obamacare accounts have been removed from the rolls, saving taxpayers $2.2 billion yearly. “We’re actually making sure that the people receiving Obamacare subsidies are actually entitled to receive them,” Vance declared.

The progressive state press has left out the fraudulent claim behind those 750,000 being removed from the rolls. Instead, they simply call the removal of fraudulent accounts “healthcare cuts,” implying qualified American citizens are being removed from the rolls. This false narrative is EXACTLY the same one as the Democratic Party.

8. 110,000 LESS FOREIGN STUDENTS EXPECTED NEXT COLLEGE SEMESTER – Thanks to several factors, including new VISA restrictions, the amount of foreign college students attending U.S. schools will be 110,000 less than last year. Colleges will have to rely more on Americans to sell enrollment than foreigners, which might incentivize them to drop their anti-American ideologies.

The progressive state press has portrayed this as a deprivation for American universities. The counter to that claim is that universities primarily serving foreign interests are NOT American ones, regardless of their physical location. This is the exact narrative the Democratic Party advances.

9. JUDGE KILLS DELAWARE’S “GHOST GUN” BAN – U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika struck down Delaware’s ghost-gun ban, which effectively bans the constitutional rights of Americans to make their own guns.

The judge ruled, “… An untraceable firearm is an Arm under the Second Amendment.  It is, after all, a firearm, and even under the narrowest reading of ‘Arms,’ ‘all firearms constitute [] ‘arms,’ whether serialized or not. Moreover, the evidence here shows that untraceable firearms are customarily used for offensive or defensive purposes such as self-defense…”

10. LE PEN STILL CONVICTED, BUT CAN RUN IN 2027 – Marine Le Pen, the leader of France’s National Rally Party, had her embezzlement conviction upheld. However, her eligibility to run for public office has been reduced in time for her to run in the expected 2027 election.

Her party currently leads in the polls. Le Pen must face house arrest, an ankle monitor, and curfews, to run for Prime Minister. She had previously claimed she would not run under those conditions. Now, it appears she has changed her mind. Since the announcement, her party has increased their lead in the polls.

11. FEDERAL COURT UPHOLDS INDIANA’S LAW OUTLAWING TRANSGENDER SURGERY FOR KIDS – U.S. District Judge James Patrick Hanlon upheld Indiana’s law prohibiting transgender surgeries on children. Indiana’s Attorney General declared, “We have won this critical fight against radicals who would otherwise impose this horrific practice on our kids for ideological and financial reasons. My office will keep standing between our children and those who would sacrifice their health, innocence, and well-being on the altar of woke gender ideology.”
12. ISLAMIST PLANE ATTACK FOILED BY BRAVE ISRAELIS – An Islamist attempted to hijack a plane and crash it into an Israeli airport, hoping to kill as many Jews as he could. He was the co-pilot of a FlyDubai flight. He stabbed his co-pilot multiple times but was detained by Israeli passengers while the plane was still in a nose-dive.

The media reported this as a dispute between the two pilots, protecting the “Islam is the religion of peace” narrative. It has since come out that he was, indeed, an Islamist engaged in an act of terror against Israel and Jews in general.

13. TRUMP PLAN LEADS TO HISTORIC RX PRICE DROP – President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring down the cost of prescription drugs have led to an historic drop in drugs that hasn’t been seen in over 60 years. The cost of prescription drugs dropped 3.1% in 12 months, starting from this past July.

White House Spokesman Kush Desai stated, “No president in modern history has been able to drastically reduce prescription drug prices across the board except for President Trump. This is a direct result of the President’s willingness to push the envelope with bold policies that actually put Americans and America First.”

14. SCIENTISTS IDENTIFY TRIGGER RECEPTOR THAT COULD CURE OSTEOPOROSIS – Researchers at Leipzig University in Germany have developed a new therapy for osteoporosis. The researchers claim they have identified a protein receptor named GPR133 that could be triggered to rebuild lost bone density in osteoporosis patients.

Professor Ines Liebscher, lead investigator of the study, said “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, mice show signs of loss of bone density at an early age – similar to osteoporosis in humans. Using the substance AP503, which was only recently identified via a computer-assisted screen as a stimulator of GPR133, we were able to significantly increase bone strength in both healthy and osteoporotic mice.”

15. JUDGE KILLS UNIVERSITY’S “DEAD NAMING” RULE – U.S. District Court Judge Fred Slaughter has halted a University of California policy that would penalize students for calling transgendered students by their born names. This is called “dead naming,” calling them by the name of their “dead selves.” The policy equated “dead naming” to “sexual harassment.”

He also halted their policy of punishing students for not using other students’ preferred pronouns. The school called this action “harassment,” which effectively punishes dissenting belief from the gender fluid ideology. The judge ruled that “there is no categorical ‘harassment exception’ to the First Amendment.” He stated the students “have demonstrated a credible threat to enforcement.”

16. CHRISTIAN WINS BACK RIGHT TO ADOPT – The Oregon Department of Human Services had to change its standards for adoption after a Christian widow sued them. Jessica Bates sued the state after she was denied the right to adopt a child in their system for refusing to affirm the rainbow ideology. The state settled with Bates, removing the conditions of adoption that demand LGBTQ affirmation. They also had to pay Bates’ court costs.
17. PIDDINGTON SECEDES FROM BRITIAN – The village of Piddington voted to secede from the United Kingdom as a response to the government’s plan to overwhelm the tiny village with a flood of subsidized invaders. The vote passed with a 92% supermajority. The referendum was held on September 15, the date Britian celebrates its victory over the German Luftwaffe in 1940.
18. THANKS TO TRUMP, MARINE COMES HOME FROM RUSSIA – After spending more than four years in a Russian prison, U.S. Marine Robert Gilman has been released. His release came thanks to negotiations between the Trump administration and the Putin regime. While the Biden administration negotiated a deal to release WNBA player Britney Griner from a Russian prison, they made no effort to negotiate the release of this same U.S. Marine.
19. DNA SALVATION FOR DATA CENTERS – A research team from Penn State has claimed they’ve developed a way to use DNA as memory storage. This memory storage would use 100x less energy than current memory storage uses. This could significantly reduce the resource demand on AI Data centers. The findings were published in Advanced Publishing Materials.

One of the researchers, Kavya S. Keremane, stated “Biology and electronics are different domains. Bridging these two fields required developing an entirely new materials platform that allows them to function seamlessly together. By combining the information storage capabilities of DNA with the exceptional electronic properties of perovskite semiconductors, we created a bio-hybrid system that fundamentally changes how low-power memory devices can be designed.”

20. CALIFORNIA LOSES NATIONAL CAR PART CONTROL – A new rule change from the EPA effectively ends California’s stranglehold on the car parts industry. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced “Americans should not be forced to solely rely on California to certify aftermarket products. Starting today, Americans can trust that products certified by SEMA meet federal requirements and can be used to repair vehicles.

“The Tampering Policy explains how a person may demonstrate that an aftermarket product does not adversely affect automotive emissions by documenting that an appropriate vehicle equipped with the product will pass the same emissions tests used by the original equipment manufacturer to certify the vehicle under the Clean Air Act.”
