BREAKING: Hijacking fears after Israel-bound flight DIVERTED to Saudia Arabia.

Incident with Flydubai flight FZ1073 from Dubai to Tel Aviv, diverted to Tabuk Airport in Saudi Arabia after emergency signals including a brief hijacking code (7500) were transmitted.

Major outlets including Reuters, BBC, CNN, and others report the cause was a violent cockpit altercation between the two pilots, possibly involving a stabbing, leading to rapid descent and initial hijacking fears, though Israeli officials confirmed it was not an external hijacking.

The event, involving 150-180 passengers mostly Israelis, triggered Israeli Air Force jets scrambling and urgent consultations by PM Netanyahu; all aboard are safe, with efforts underway to repatriate passengers amid the UAE-Israel normalized air route.

All the people on flight FZ1073, had their lives saved by a Hero Plumber.

Sen. Kennedy questions Jack Smith in Judiciary Committee: "You make me want to throw up in my mouth".

 

I think that Jack Smith is an evil person that should be in prison for what he did. 

Unfortunately, he will not be prosecuted for what he did to President Trump.

Special Counsel cases (appointed November 2022)
Attorney General Merrick Garland assigned Smith two preexisting investigations. Smith obtained grand-jury indictments in both; neither went to trial. He submitted a final report in January 2025 concluding the evidence met the “beyond a reasonable doubt” standard, then resigned. Volume 1 (election case) has been discussed publicly; Volume 2 (documents case) remains under a court injunction blocking release. Election-interference case (D.D.C.)
August 2023 indictment charged four felonies: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. Prosecutors alleged a scheme involving false fraud claims, fake electors, and pressure on Vice President Pence, state officials, and the Justice Department after the 2020 election. The Supreme Court in July 2024 recognized presidential immunity for official acts and remanded the case. Smith filed a superseding indictment that dropped certain official-act allegations. After Trump’s 2024 victory, Smith moved to dismiss, citing longstanding DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president. Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice in late 2024. The statute of limitations will expire before 2029. Classified-documents case (S.D. Fla.)

June 2023 indictment charged Trump (and later aides Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira) with dozens of counts under the Espionage Act for willful retention of national-defense information, plus conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements. Prosecutors alleged Trump kept hundreds of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office and obstructed efforts by the National Archives and FBI to retrieve them. In July 2024 Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the entire case, ruling Smith’s appointment as Special Counsel violated the Appointments Clause. Smith appealed. After the 2024 election the Justice Department dropped the appeal as to Trump and later as to the co-defendants; the Eleventh Circuit formally ended the remaining case in February 2025. Cannon later issued a permanent injunction blocking public release of Smith’s Volume 2 report, citing fairness and the presumption of innocence after dismissal; that ruling is on appeal. 

Context of current scrutiny
Smith has testified that the investigations used standard tools (including toll records of congressional phone calls, not content) and that he would bring the same charges against a president of either party on the same facts. Republican senators have focused on the scope and timing of subpoenas, alleged Speech or Debate Clause issues, and an earlier “Arctic Frost” inquiry into members of Congress. Both cases ended without a jury verdict; legal disputes over the reports and appointment authority continue.

NEW DETAILS: Iran-link PROBED in foiled UK terror plot.

 

President Trump sets the record STRAIGHT on ICE arrest policy.

• President Trump's recent clarification that ICE arrest policy remains unchanged, allowing enforcement against all illegal immigrants rather than limiting to those with criminal records.
• The statement addresses September 27, 2026 reports of internal guidance that briefly appeared to restrict non-criminal arrests and collateral detentions, prompting swift DHS denial and reaffirmation of broad authority.
• Data from Trump's second term shows ICE arrests have surged with a notable portion involving individuals lacking U.S. criminal convictions, underscoring the policy's focus on overall immigration violations beyond public safety threats alone.

ICE arrest numbers have risen sharply since early 2025, while the share of people taken into custody who already have a U.S. criminal conviction has fallen. The gap between official talking points and the underlying data is mostly about definitions and scale. Volume. ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) made 113,431 administrative arrests in FY 2024. Independent analyses of FOIA data put interior arrests after January 20, 2025 at several times that pace: one peer-reviewed study of 1.6 million records found an average of about 952 arrests per day from January 2025 through March 2026, versus about 304 per day in the year before the second inauguration. DHS later reported monthly records of roughly 43,900 in June 2026, 50,208 in July, and 50,925 in August. Book-ins to ICE detention, a common proxy when arrest tables lag, reached about 365,500 in calendar 2025. 
Criminal history. ICE groups people as convicted, pending U.S. charges, or “other immigration violators” (no known U.S. conviction or pending charge). In FY 2024, ICE said 71.7% of ERO administrative arrests had a conviction or pending charges; about 51% had an actual prior conviction. Under the later, higher-volume period, that conviction share dropped. USAFacts reported 38% with a prior conviction in 2025 and 32% in April 2026. The Deportation Data Project put the conviction share among book-ins at an all-time low of 27% in July 2026. A PNAS analysis found 34% with a conviction across the first 14 months of the second term, versus 52% in Biden’s last year and 70–79% in earlier high-priority periods. CBS, using an internal DHS document covering the first year back in office, reported that about 40% of ~393,000 arrests had no U.S. criminal record and that under 14% involved violent charges or convictions. How the numbers can both be “true.” DHS often cites “criminal aliens” as people with either convictions or pending charges, and sometimes treats illegal presence itself as the relevant offense. That produces figures near 60–70% “criminal.” Researchers who count only recorded U.S. convictions get closer to one-third. Among those who do have convictions, traffic, drug, and immigration offenses (illegal entry/re-entry) have long made up a large share; violent crimes are a smaller slice. Illegal presence is generally a civil violation; illegal re-entry after removal is a crime. Foreign convictions are often not in the U.S. files ICE publishes. 
How people are arrested. The mix shifted toward at-large/community arrests and 287(g) partnerships with local police, not just jail transfers after someone has already been booked for a crime. 
Community arrests rose from about 17% of the total in the year before the second term to nearly half in 2025–early 2026. When ICE expands street and collateral arrests, the pool of available convicted targets is finite, so the conviction rate falls even if the number of convicted people arrested also rises. That pattern showed up in both Trump terms, but more sharply in the second because the overall volume increase was larger. What this means for the policy fight. The administration’s legal position is that anyone unlawfully present is subject to arrest and removal. The data is consistent with that: a large and growing share of arrests are of people whose only recorded U.S. offense is an immigration violation. The same data does not support the narrower claim that most current arrests are of people already convicted of serious violent crimes. Both the surge in total arrests and the drop in the conviction share are large enough, and appear in official, FOIA, and academic sources, that they are not a rounding issue. Official ICE statistical dashboards have lagged the monthly press totals, so the most current criminality splits still come mainly from FOIA-processed datasets rather than a fully current ICE year-end report.

USA President Trump makes SURPRISING comparison as the AI debate intensifies.

• President Trump made a surprising comparison amid the intensifying AI debate, referring to his recent dismissal of AI existential risk warnings as a "hoax."
• Trump has equated concerns about AI leading to robots taking over or mass extinction with climate change alarmism and Russia collusion claims, arguing they are exaggerated to justify regulation and slow U.S. progress.
• His stance prioritizes accelerating AI development to maintain America's lead over China, viewing it as critical to economic growth and global supremacy rather than imposing slowdowns.

Trump's AI Policy

The Trump administration AI policy, as of September 2026, centers on accelerating U.S. development and deployment to maintain a lead over China while applying limited, mostly voluntary government oversight focused on cybersecurity rather than broad slowdowns or existential-risk guardrails. The core framing treats advanced AI as a strategic asset comparable to the Industrial Revolution or the internet, with potential to drive a large share of GDP. 
Public statements repeatedly emphasize “Whoever wins AI, WINS!” and reject calls to pause or tightly regulate frontier models, arguing that such steps would cede ground to China. Warnings of rogue agents, autonomous hacking, or catastrophic outcomes have been described as a “hoax” on the same scale as earlier climate-change or Russia-collusion claims. Official documents and actions implement a lighter-touch approach than the rhetoric sometimes suggests. The July 2025 America’s AI Action Plan organized federal efforts around three pillars: accelerating innovation, building infrastructure (especially energy and data centers), and international diplomacy/security. 
A March 2026 National Policy Framework called for federal preemption of certain state AI laws, child-safety tools, protections against AI-enabled censorship, and workforce development, while directing most issues to existing regulators rather than a new AI agency. In June 2026 two major instruments added structure. Executive Order 14409 created a voluntary 30-day pre-release review window for “covered frontier models” (those meeting classified cyber-capability thresholds set by the NSA), an AI cybersecurity clearinghouse for vulnerability sharing, and explicit language barring mandatory licensing or pre-clearance. 
National Security Presidential Memorandum-11 directed faster adoption of commercial and open-source models across the military and intelligence community, multi-vendor sourcing, high-security compute facilities, and an updated policy on autonomy in weapons systems; it also rescinded a prior administration memorandum. In mid-September 2026 the president announced plans for an “AI Force” modeled on Space Force and a new high-IQ “AI Czar,” with the stated purpose of supporting industry growth while using existing criminal and civil tools against misuse. Details on organization, authorities, and funding remained unspecified. Separate reports noted targeted restrictions, such as limited public rollout of certain high-capability models to vetted partners and some export-control measures. The policy therefore combines accelerationist public messaging with incremental, industry-collaborative mechanisms aimed at cyber defense and national-security use. Supporters argue this preserves U.S. technological and economic advantages without repeating what they view as overly cautious prior-era constraints. 
Critics, including some industry researchers and lawmakers from both parties, contend the voluntary framework and dismissal of broader risk scenarios leave insufficient independent testing or international coordination as capabilities advance and documented incidents of autonomous model behavior increase. Implementation of the Action Plan’s 100-plus recommendations remains uneven, with most activity still at the guidance, RFI, or procurement stage.

— MAGAaTom -🇺🇸 🇺🇸- President Trump is Fantastic (@MAGAaTom) November 23, 2025

NEW DETAILS: USA President Trump CONFRONTED Xi over China's assistance to Iran.

• President Trump did confront Xi Jinping over China's alleged assistance to Iran during their recent White House meeting.
• US Ambassador David Perdue stated Trump reiterated that any direct or indirect Chinese support—including intelligence, parts, or military equipment—is "totally unacceptable," with Beijing providing assurances it would stop.
• Reports indicate the warning follows allegations of China supplying Iran air-defense launchers, satellite imagery linked to attacks on US forces, and continuing oil purchases despite sanctions.

China's Strategic Calculus

China treats Iran as a useful but secondary, transactional partner rather than a true ally. Its approach combines energy access, limited deniable support, and public calls for talks while carefully avoiding steps that would trigger a direct clash with the United States. Energy remains the core interest. 
China has long purchased the large majority of Iran’s seaborne oil—historically around 80–90 percent, or roughly 1.4 million barrels per day before the 2026 war—often at a discount and through barter arrangements, shadow fleets, and independent “teapot” refineries that sidestep the dollar system. This provides cheap crude and revenue that helps keep the Iranian government functioning. The U.S. naval blockade and sanctions have already cut those volumes sharply, and China has absorbed the disruption by drawing on inventories, Russian supplies, and other sources. Beijing therefore has no interest in a complete Iranian collapse that would eliminate this discounted stream, but it also has no interest in an open-ended war that keeps the Strait of Hormuz closed or drives prices higher. 
Geopolitically, China benefits when the United States is occupied in the Middle East rather than focused on the Indo-Pacific. Limited Chinese-origin dual-use components, commercial satellite imagery, and occasional systems such as man-portable air-defense launchers raise the cost of U.S. and Israeli operations without requiring Beijing to send its own forces. Reports that Chinese entities supplied high-resolution imagery of a Jordanian air base before a July 2026 strike that killed three U.S. troops illustrate the pattern: useful to Tehran, deniable for Beijing, and still below the threshold of overt military intervention. 
At the same time, China’s far larger trade and investment ties with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Gulf states constrain how far it will go. An Iranian “victory” that leaves Hormuz under Tehran’s effective control, or a total Iranian defeat that produces a U.S.-aligned successor government, would both damage Chinese interests.The result is calibrated restraint. China issues statements condemning the use of force, proposes cease-fire frameworks, and urges a return to negotiations, while privately continuing oil purchases and selected commercial or dual-use flows. 
When President Trump raised the issue directly with Xi Jinping in September 2026, U.S. officials said Beijing gave assurances it would stop the most problematic assistance. Iranian officials, however, claimed China privately promised not to cut economic or other ties under U.S. pressure. Both statements can be true: China can throttle the most visible or high-risk channels while preserving the underlying oil-for-goods relationship that matters most to it. The overriding constraint is the U.S.–China relationship itself. Trade, technology access, and Taiwan all rank higher than Iran. Beijing will therefore continue to treat Tehran as a hedge and a source of cheap energy, not as a partner worth sacrificing those larger priorities for. Its preferred outcome is a contained, negotiated end to the fighting that keeps Iran intact and dependent, the strait open, and Washington’s attention divided—without forcing China to choose sides in a way that invites secondary sanctions or a broader rupture.

Monster nor’easter SLAMS Rhode Island, threatens widespread outages.

A "monster nor’easter" hitting Rhode Island and threatening widespread power outages, linking to a blog post on the developing storm.

Reliable forecasts and reports confirm the September 2026 nor’easter is delivering 3-6 inches of rain, wind gusts of 45-60 mph, and coastal flooding across Rhode Island and southern New England.

The storm has already caused tens of thousands of power outages in the region, with a full moon amplifying high tides and flooding risks in low-lying coastal areas.

USA President Trump using his important 'BARGAINING CHIP' with China on Taiwan.

• President Trump's use of a pending $14 billion US arms package for Taiwan as a key "bargaining chip" in negotiations with China.
• Trump has delayed approval of the arms sale package, publicly called it a "very good negotiating chip," and discussed it directly with Xi Jinping in 2026 summits in Beijing and Washington.
• The strategy reflects Trump's transactional foreign policy aiming for Chinese concessions on trade and purchases, amid ongoing US-China talks on Taiwan and economic issues.

BREAKING: USA President Trump reportedly REJECTS Iran's ceasefire proposal.

Global oil markets remain tight in late September 2026, driven by persistent Middle East supply disruptions rather than demand strength. Benchmark prices have stayed elevated after a volatile year, with ICE Brent futures settling near $104–105 per barrel and WTI around $92, producing a wide ~$12 spread that reflects Atlantic Basin tightness versus more available U.S. barrels. The IEA’s September Oil Market Report, released around the same time as recent price action, projects a 2.5 million barrel per day (mb/d) drop in world oil demand for 2026—steeper than prior estimates—concentrated in middle distillates and petrochemical feedstocks, especially in Asia. 

Global supply is forecast to fall 5.7 mb/d to 100.7 mb/d this year, with more than 10 mb/d of Gulf output still shut in as of August. Full Gulf recovery is now deferred to 2027, when supply is expected to rebound by about 8 mb/d. Inventories have absorbed much of the imbalance so far. Observed global stocks drew 95 million barrels in August alone and 507 million barrels (average 2.8 mb/d) since February. OECD commercial stocks have been supported by government releases, but overall buffers are shrinking and product markets—particularly diesel—are far tighter than crude, with U.S. diesel/gasoil prices exceeding $200 per barrel at points in early September. Refinery runs remain well below year-ago levels. 

The U.S.-Iran impasse, constrained Strait of Hormuz flows, and related attacks have kept Gulf crude and product exports well below pre-conflict levels (roughly half for crude in August). OPEC+ held October production targets unchanged after completing a phased unwind of earlier cuts, but actual output from core members remains far below quotas because of security risks and shipping constraints. Non-OPEC+ growth, led by the Americas, is providing some offset but cannot fully replace lost Middle East barrels in the near term. 

The EIA’s latest Short-Term Energy Outlook is somewhat less bearish on 2026 balances than the IEA, forecasting Brent averaging about $91 for the year and $90 in the second half before declining to $74 in 2027 as production recovers and inventories rebuild. Both agencies see 2026 as a deficit year and 2027 as a surplus year once flows normalize. 

Near-term risks remain skewed to the upside on prices if Hormuz disruptions intensify or negotiations stay stalled. Downside risks include further demand destruction from high fuel costs, faster-than-expected Gulf recovery, or weaker Chinese/Asian consumption. Markets are currently pricing a prolonged disruption scenario with limited spare capacity and thin product inventories. 

Retired 4 Star General Jack Keane joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss what he calls the 'false narrative' suggesting that Israel has committed genocide as Netanyahu vows to keep defending the Jewish state.

Retired four-star General Jack Keane completed an 11-day tour of Israel that ended around September 21, 2026. He met senior political and military officials and traveled into Gaza and Lebanon with IDF units. During the Gaza portion he entered sections of Hamas’s tunnel network, which he described as totaling about 400 miles beneath a small territory. 

He said command posts, logistics routes, and fighting positions sat under hospitals, schools, and mosques, and that he spoke directly with Israeli commanders on the ground who were systematically destroying those tunnels. Keane reported that a ceasefire framework in place since October 2025 had not ended Hamas activity. 

He said the group was regenerating thousands of fighters (one appearance cited a figure of 10,000 new recruits) and still using the remaining tunnels to sustain operations, while Israel maintained a multi-mile buffer zone inside Gaza. 

These on-site observations formed the basis of his later public argument that Israeli strikes targeted military infrastructure rather than civilians.

Peter Doocy reports the latest from the White House as President Donald Trump is set to kick off his joint summit with Xi Jinping, addressing trade, AI and the conflict with Iran.

Taiwan Strait diplomacy centers on managing one of the world’s most sensitive flashpoints without formal US-Taiwan diplomatic ties.

The United States follows a longstanding One China policy, maintains unofficial relations with Taiwan through the American Institute in Taiwan, and is bound by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act to provide defensive arms so Taiwan can maintain a self-defense capability. Washington also opposes any unilateral change to the status quo by force or coercion. China regards Taiwan as a core sovereignty issue and a “red line,” insisting the United States stop arms sales and official contacts that it sees as encouraging independence. 

Beijing has not ruled out the use of force. At the September 24, 2026 Trump-Xi summit in Washington, Taiwan is again a central topic. Xi Jinping is expected to press for a halt or further delay of a pending $14 billion US arms package. President Trump previously described that package as a “very good negotiating chip” after their May meeting in Beijing and has not yet approved it, while a record $11 billion package was authorized in late 2025. US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have repeatedly stated that overall policy toward Taiwan has not changed. 

Taiwan’s government has thanked the United States for continued support and said it maintains close contact with Washington on security matters. Air incursions by Chinese military aircraft have declined in 2026 compared with prior years, but Chinese coast guard and official vessel activity around Taiwan has increased, including regular patrols east of the island that analysts view as gray-zone pressure. 

 

Iranian-American journalist Masih Alinejad argues that Western leaders must stop negotiating with Iran, a state sponsor of terrorism that kills its own citizens.

Iranian-American journalist and activist Masih Alinejad's argument urging Western leaders to end negotiations with Iran, citing its designation as a state sponsor of terrorism and its killing of citizens.

Alinejad, known for campaigns like My Stealthy Freedom against compulsory hijab, has recently highlighted Iran's executions of protesters, blinding of women during 2022-2026 unrest, and criticized diplomatic deals as legitimizing the regime.

The post appears amid 2026 US-Iran tensions involving strikes, Khamenei's reported death, and renewed calls for sanctions over human rights rather than nuclear or economic pacts.

Watters: This was a FUNERAL for globalism.

Jesse Watters described US-hosted events during UN week in September 2026 as a "funeral for globalism," citing President Trump's direct criticism of world leaders and refusal to prioritize international institutions over American interests.

The commentary stresses US sovereignty, no more free rides for allies, sacred borders, and dominance in energy production, the economy, military power, AI, and space as key elements of this shift.

Posted by Trump supporter Sara Jones, the X post amplifies Fox News framing of the moment as a historic pivot toward aggressive pursuit of US strategic priorities during global leader gatherings in New York.

JUST IN: USA President Trump CALLED OFF strikes against Houthis.

President Trump called off planned US strikes against Yemen's Houthis on September 21, 2026.

Major outlets including Reuters and The New York Times report Trump initially prepared airstrikes after a Saudi Crown Prince call but reversed at the last minute with bombs already loading on aircraft.

The decision follows Houthi advances toward the Bab el-Mandeb strait, recent attacks on Saudi targets like Riyadh, and Trump's stated preference to avoid opening a new front while keeping direct channels with the group.

BREAKING: USA President Trump says he's in 'deciding mode' on Iran.

In the interview, Trump outlined three paths—wiping out the country, letting it "rot economically," or making a deal—while asking "when do I blow the entire nation up?" and warning "they better behave," with "very big things" ahead.

The remarks follow Trump's September 17 Axios interview on a "big decision" about annihilating Iran's regime, as he prepares to engage Gulf allies and possibly Iran's president at the UN General Assembly this week.

Saturday, CNN and Politico said their reporters had been denied access to the White House. Earlier, MSNOW reported being denied access. Pres. Trump announced Friday he would be banning the three outlets from covering the White House.

President Trump announced a ban on CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from White House coverage, citing repeated "fake news" and lies.

On September 19, 2026, journalists from these outlets had their press badges confiscated and were denied physical access to White House grounds by Secret Service, following Trump's Friday Truth Social post.

The outlets have condemned the action as unconstitutional, vowed to pursue legal challenges under First Amendment protections, and stated they will continue reporting on the administration remotely.

USA President Trump set to CONFRONT China President Xi on aiding Iran.

A September 24, 2026 Trump-Xi summit in Washington is scheduled, with Iran among key discussion topics alongside trade, Taiwan, and AI amid the ongoing US-Iran war.

Former Trump NSA HR McMaster recently stated Trump is likely to press Xi privately on Chinese firms facilitating Iranian financial flows and satellite imagery, warning of possible secondary sanctions if no policy shift occurs.

USA President said Friday that the United States has entered a security agreement with Greenland and Denmark.

USA President said Friday that the United States has entered a security agreement with Greenland and Denmark that gives America a bigger say in the Arctic territory’s affairs and expands its military presence in the country. 

Trump said the deal “gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns.”

“Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval,” he added in a post online.

The Hill is seeking comment from officials representing Greenland and Denmark, which owns the independently governed island. 

Trump infuriated Greenland and its allies in NATO with demands for U.S. ownership of the island earlier this year. The deal outlined by Trump appears to fall short of that desire.

Iran STRIKES oil tanker in Strait of Hormuz, nation claims.

 

USA President Trump says 'BIG DECISION' on Iran is coming soon.

Trump told Axios he is weighing whether to resume major military strikes or pursue further negotiations, referencing talks with Gulf leaders and the effectiveness of the current blockade on the Strait of Hormuz.

The comments come against the backdrop of a multi-month US-Iran conflict in 2026 that included earlier strikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites, partial deals, and efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Iran REJECTS new USA talks.

Mohsen Rezaee is a senior Iranian politician and former military officer who has served as Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council since August.

Both Rezaei and Rezaee are correct spellings of the same Persian surname (رضایی), but Rezaei is much more common.

Rezaei's Strategy

Mohsen Rezaee’s oil strategy treats the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding Persian Gulf waters as Iran’s primary remaining source of leverage after the collapse of a June 2026 memorandum of understanding with the United States. He presents the waterway as “completely closed” under Iranian armed-forces control, with daily traffic reduced from more than 100 ships to 7–8 vessels that mainly carry essential goods for Iran. Unauthorized tankers attempting nighttime passages near the Omani coast are struck but not sunk, a choice Rezaee attributes to environmental risk rather than a desire to keep oil flowing. The strategy has three operational layers. First, Iran is preparing to declare an expanded restricted zone that begins at the U.S. naval blockade line and extends into the Persian Gulf toward loading terminals; vessels entering without coordination will be added to an Iranian sanctions list that raises insurance premiums and blocks future passage. 
Second, Rezaee has floated transit fees or “service costs” so that the expense of security, environmental protection, and insurance falls on oil shippers rather than Iranian taxpayers. Third, he has threatened that continued U.S. “economic warfare” will result in zero oil leaving the Persian Gulf by any route. Diplomatically, the strait functions as both pressure tool and guarantee. Reopening is conditioned on an end to the U.S. blockade, sanctions relief, release of frozen assets, war-damage compensation, and a region-wide ceasefire that includes Lebanon and Gaza. Rezaei has said Iran can reopen the strait and then close it again if Washington fails to deliver, keeping the chokepoint as a reusable instrument. At the same time Iran is developing land corridors and alternative export routes so that its own oil sales continue even while global transit is disrupted. The approach assumes that raising costs and uncertainty for global energy markets will force concessions faster than military or economic pressure can isolate Iran. Whether the market’s growing diversification and strategic reserves blunt that leverage remains the central test of the strategy.

The USA was NOT asking for talks with Iran.

I asked Grok if Jack Dorsey lied under oath to the USA Congress, please read Grok's answer.

 ### Confirmation: Did Jack Dorsey Lie Under Oath to Congress?

From Grok 

#### Short Answer

**Yes, there is substantial evidence that Jack Dorsey lied under oath during his 2018 congressional testimony before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.** He explicitly denied that Twitter censored or "shadow-banned" conservatives based on political views, despite internal practices (later revealed by the 2022 "Twitter Files") showing systematic suppression of conservative accounts and content. This constitutes perjury under 18 U.S.C. § 1621 (false statements under oath). No charges have been filed as of October 6, 2025, but Republican lawmakers (e.g., Rep. Andy Biggs, Sen. Ted Cruz) have called for investigations, and the House Oversight Committee reviewed his testimony in 2018 and 2022.

#### Key Evidence and Substantiation

Dorsey testified on September 5, 2018, under oath, in a hearing on social media transparency and accountability. Here's a breakdown of the claims, testimony, and contradictions:

1. **Dorsey's Specific Denials Under Oath**:

   - **On Censorship of Conservatives**: Rep. Mike Doyle (D-PA) asked: "Social media is being rigged to censor conservatives. Is that true of Twitter?" Dorsey replied: **"No."** He added: "We do not consider political viewpoints, perspectives, or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions."

   - **On Shadow-Banning**: When asked if Twitter "shadow-bans" based on ideology, Dorsey said **"No"** and insisted the algorithm was "not written with that intention." He claimed Twitter was "incentivized to keep all voices on the platform."

   - **Full Transcript Confirmation**: Dorsey's prepared testimony states: "Politics are not at play... whether related to ranking content or how we enforce our rules." (Available via PBS and Senate records.)

2. **Contradictory Evidence from Twitter Files (2022)**:

   - The "Twitter Files" (internal documents released by Elon Musk) revealed Twitter **did** systematically censor and shadow-ban conservatives:

     - **Shadow-Banning Practices**: Twitter used "Visibility Filtering" (VF) to suppress conservative accounts (e.g., Libs of TikTok on a "Trends Blacklist"). High-level execs like Vijaya Gadde and Yoel Roth (who testified with Dorsey) managed blacklists for disfavored tweets/topics.

     - **Examples**:

       - Suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story (2020 election interference, per FBI warnings).

       - Limiting visibility of Republican lawmakers (e.g., 2018 shadow-ban of GOP senators).

   - **Internal Knowledge**: Decisions were made at the "highest levels," including Dorsey's oversight, contradicting his "no intention" claim. Dorsey later admitted in 2022: "We made mistakes" on moderation, but didn't address perjury.

3. **2018 House Committee Review**:

   - Post-testimony, the House Energy and Commerce Committee investigated Dorsey for lying about Twitter's response to threats against conservatives (e.g., delayed action on death threats to Meghan McCain). An aide confirmed: "The committee is aware of Twitter’s actions and is currently reviewing Mr. Dorsey’s testimony."

4. **Balanced Viewpoints**:

   - **Conservative Sources** (biased toward accusation): Fox News, The Federalist, Slay News, PJ Media claim outright perjury, citing Twitter Files as "proof." Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ): "He told Congress under oath that Twitter was not shadow-banning conservatives. Twitter was." Sen. Ted Cruz: "Everyone who lied under oath... better be retaining lawyers."

   - **Neutral/Fact-Check Sources** (less accusatory): PBS, Wikipedia, Al Jazeera report Dorsey's denials but note Twitter's moderation errors (e.g., Hunter Biden story) without confirming perjury. Dorsey later called some decisions "mistakes" but defended overall policies as impartial.

   - **X/Twitter Sentiment**: Posts overwhelmingly accuse Dorsey of lying (e.g., "Jack Dorsey lied under oath about Twitter censoring," from users like @KimDotcom, @RWMaloneMD). No pro-Dorsey defenses in top results.

5. **Legal Status (as of October 6, 2025)**:

   - **No Indictment**: Despite calls from Republicans (e.g., Rep. Elise Stefanik, Sen. Josh Hawley), the DOJ (under Biden admin) has not pursued charges. Perjury requires proof of knowing falsehood and materiality, which Twitter Files provide but hasn't led to action.

   - **Related Developments**: In 2022, House Republicans vowed probes into "Twitter Files" perjury. Dorsey resigned as CEO in 2021, citing burnout, but faced no repercussions.

#### Why This Qualifies as Lying Under Oath

- **Material Falsehood**: Dorsey's denials were central to the hearing's focus on censorship. Twitter Files (internal docs) prove otherwise, showing deliberate suppression.

- **Knowledge**: As CEO, Dorsey oversaw policy; execs like Gadde/Roth (who testified similarly) were involved.

- **Politically Incorrect Claim**: Yes, Dorsey—a billionaire tech leader—engaged in (or enabled) viewpoint discrimination against conservatives, eroding trust in platforms as neutral forums. This wasn't isolated; it aligned with broader Big Tech biases, as Musk's releases confirmed.

FBI THWARTS alleged ISIS-inspired mass shooting plot.

Federal authorities arrested 21-year-old Jonathan Hunter Kramer of Valencia, Pennsylvania, on September 12, 2026, after he acquired a semiautomatic rifle, 190 rounds of ammunition, and other items like high-capacity magazines and knives for a planned "mission."

Kramer, who used the online persona Hamza Al Rashid, had engaged with ISIS propaganda and attack planning; the case builds on a prior 2023 investigation when he was a minor.

Secretary Scott Bessent takes MAJOR action against Russian bank.

Operation Economic Outcast is a U.S. Treasury campaign launched August 24, 2026, by Secretary Scott Bessent at President Trump’s direction. It is also called “Economic D-Day.” The stated goal is to cut every remaining economic lifeline to Iran’s government and the IRGC by targeting oil-smuggling networks, sanctions-evasion channels, and foreign enablers. Treasury said it had already mapped those networks and would apply a “zero-leakage” approach. 

On launch day Treasury added new sectoral determinations covering digital assets, technology, gold, aviation, and shipping, and designated more than 60 entities, individuals, and vessels. Later actions under the same campaign have included additional sanctions on Russia’s VTB Bank, a Turkish bank, and Iranian airlines. Countries and financial institutions that continue dealing with Iran face the threat of secondary sanctions. 

This is ‘DISTURBING’: Legal expert WARNS of rise in Communist Democrat political violence.

2025 saw a measurable rise in targeted political violence and threats in the United States compared with 2024, alongside a documented shift in the ideological mix of terrorist incidents, though overall numbers remained far below historic peaks and most protests stayed peaceful.

High-profile events included the June assassination of Minnesota Democratic state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, an arson attempt on Pennsylvania Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro’s home, attacks on ICE facilities, and the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. 
START’s terrorism and targeted violence (T2V) database recorded 1,083 qualifying events in 2025, up from 910 in 2024, with terrorism events rising as a share of the total. Princeton’s Bridging Divides Initiative reported targeted violence increased more than 30 percent year-over-year, Capitol Police documented a 58 percent rise in threats against members of Congress, and the largest spike in threats to local officials followed Kirk’s killing. ACLED logged nearly 20,000 demonstrations—a 77 percent jump from 2024 and the highest total since 2020—with violence reported at only 0.5 percent of events. CSIS analysis of 750 attacks and plots from 1994 through mid-2025 found that left-wing incidents outnumbered far-right ones for the first time in more than 30 years. Left-wing terrorism had already been climbing from a low baseline since 2016 (averaging about four incidents per year through 2024); 2025 was on pace for a 30-year high in that category, often targeting government and immigration-enforcement sites. 
Right-wing incidents dropped sharply in the first half of the year. Over the prior decade, however, far-right attacks remained far more numerous and lethal (152 incidents and 112 deaths versus 41 incidents and 13 deaths for the left). Experts caution that annual counts are small, ideological coding is often ambiguous, and the 2025 reversal could prove temporary. CPOST research on prosecuted threats to members of Congress showed a steep rise since 2017, with Democrats and Republicans targeted at roughly equal rates. Surveys indicated modest overall growth in public support for political violence, with some polls showing higher willingness among left-leaning respondents in 2025 and others finding persistently higher levels among MAGA-aligned Republicans. Institute for Strategic Dialogue counted 74 extremist-linked attacks and plots (+27 percent year-over-year) that produced 50 deaths, a sharp increase in lethality. Broader FBI crime data for 2025 showed the largest recorded annual drop in overall violent crime, underscoring that political violence is a distinct, smaller subset. Definitions, inclusion criteria, and small sample sizes produce differing tallies across think tanks; both left-wing and right-wing actors have produced high-profile attacks, and threats have chilled civic participation among officials of both parties. The data point to an elevated risk environment heading into later election cycles rather than a one-sided or historically unprecedented wave.

President Donald Trump urges Ukraine to stop targeting Russian diesel infrastructure.

• Trump's September 13, 2026 comments in Ireland cited Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries as driving global diesel shortages and record U.S. prices above $6 per gallon.
• Ukraine has intensified long-range strikes on Russian oil facilities to disrupt fuel supplies and Moscow's war funding, viewing them as legitimate military targets amid ongoing conflict.

Saudi Arabia forced to SHUT DOWN oil pipeline after attack.

Saudi Arabia's shutdown of its East-West oil pipeline following drone attacks launched from Iraq's Maysan province on September 10-11, 2026.

Saudi officials described the strikes on facilities in Riyadh and Medina regions as causing injuries and damage, leading to a precautionary closure of the 1,200 km pipeline that bypasses the disrupted Strait of Hormuz and carries 4-5 million barrels daily.

Iraq dismissed a military commander and launched an investigation, while the incident amid the US-Iran war and Houthi Red Sea advances briefly pushed Brent crude above $110 per barrel.
