Brent Flirts With $110 Before Reversing As Wright Declares Pump Prices Have "Peaked"
Brent crude futures briefly tagged $109.99 a barrel in overnight trading before retreating from five-month highs during the Asian session and into European trading, as signs of recovering Middle Eastern supply offset renewed attacks on energy infrastructure and critical maritime shipping lanes.
Stop Letting Your Kids Call You 'Bro'
There's a graphic I've seen printed on signs, shirts, and other apparel that says, "Mama. Mommy. Mom. Bruh." All parents, especially mothers, should be appalled. Results vary, but one search of the phrase using Google's A.I. overview feature rendered a horrifying summary. "The phrase 'Mama, Mommy, Mom, Bruh'" the overview said, "is a viral internet [...]

Growing List Of Major Events Saudi Arabia Forced To Cancel, Postpone
Houthi ballistic missile attacks on Saudi Arabia have become almost daily at this point, and appear aimed at causing maximal economic and security pain for the kingdom. Riyadh's international airport has remained closed, as have some other regional hubs that were targeted this month, and flight suspensions to and from Europe and internationally have had a domino effect, impacting the ability of Saudi Arabia to host major events.
Europe Braces For A Winter Energy Crisis As Gas Reserves Run Low
Europe faces another expensive winter as low gas reserves and Middle East disruptions drive up energy prices. Rising fuel costs threaten household budgets, industrial production, and employment across Europe. Increased U.S. LNG supplies could provide some relief, but continued geopolitical risks leave energy markets vulnerable. After months of elevated energy prices, Europe can expect fuel costs to continue rising through the winter months as demand grows.
The Pope's tweet and the quiet suicide of order
By Kyle McClay Bad leadership is not always dramatic. Sometimes it arrives as a short post about dignity that quietly tells the public the state will no longer do the hard, public work of justice.
Dutch Minister: Young Locals Can Just Live With Their Parents, Migrants Get Houses First
Via Remix News, Dutch Housing Minister Elanor Boekholt-O'Sullivan drew sharp criticism this week after defending priority access to scarce social housing for recognized refugees, arguing that many young Dutch first-time home seekers "can still live with their parents." In an interview with De Telegraaf, the D66 minister was asked why status holders - asylum seekers granted residence permits - should receive preference for social rental homes while Dutch "starters" face long waiting lists and...
80% Of New UK Payroll Jobs Since 2014 Went To Foreign Nationals, Think Tank Finds
Just one in five of the roughly 3.7 million jobs added to UK payrolls from 2014 through the end of 2025 went to British nationals. Non-EU nationals took about 2.5 million of them, roughly two-thirds, and EU nationals another 408,000, leaving Britons with 734,000, according to a Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) analysis of HMRC data. The center-right think tank released the figures Tuesday in State of Dependency, a 250-page report launching its Welfare 2030 inquiry.
Germany's Rent Control Is Backfiring, New Study Of 107 Cities Finds
Authored by Rainer Zitelmann via RealClearMarkets, Across Europe, the housing shortage is getting worse - and left-wing parties have discovered it as a central political issue. Recently, the far-left party DIE LINKE even won the elections in Berlin, the German capital, campaigning on a demand to nationalize large housing companies. In Spain, hundreds of thousands of people have demonstrated in favor of stricter regulations. But do such measures really help?
70% Of Moroccan Asylee Claims In Ceuta After Mass Entry Cite Persecution Over Sexual Orientation
Spanish police say about 70% of the Moroccans processed in Ceuta after July's mass entry have asked for asylum alleging persecution over their sexual orientation, according to El Periódico de Ceuta, which relays figures from National Police sources first published by the Spanish daily ABC. The number comes from unnamed police sources, not published statistics.
Omar, Obama, And The Danger Of False Identities
On Columbus Day, Homeland Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant of Representative Ilhan Omar's home. For several months, there have been rumors that she was under investigation for immigration fraud. A few weeks ago, White House Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledged that the congresswoman was the subject of an ongoing criminal investigation. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro says her office is investigating Omar for potential financial crimes.
"They Will All Go To Jail": Trump Threatens California Election Officials If They Let Non-Citizens Vote
On Friday President Donald Trump warned California election officials that they will go to prison if they count mail-in ballots from about 20,000 people who have been identified as possible noncitizens by the federal government, intensifying the legal dispute with the state mere weeks before the midterm elections.
Trump Issues Full-Throated Endorsement Of Netanyahu Ahead Of Tough Election
In what should come as no big surprise at all, President Trump has issued a whole-hearted endorsement for Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday as next Israeli prime minister.
Egypt Approves Troop Deployment In Support Of Saudi Arabia
Egypt announced on Sunday that it has approved the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia on a "defensive mission" to help the kingdom protect itself from the retaliatory military operations carried out by the Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF). The Egyptian House of Representatives held "an emergency session to discuss the President of the Republic and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces' decision to send military forces to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on a defensive mission," said MP Mostafa Bakry.
Pentagon Plans To Withhold Report on Minab School Massacre Past Midterms
Authored by Dave DeCamp via Antiwar.com, Bloomberg reported on Thursday that top Pentagon officials have expressed that they will withhold the release of an internal report on the US bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, southern Iran, which massacred at least 120 children, through the midterm elections.
Putin Proposes Summit With Trump And Xi To Negotiate End Of Ukraine War; Zelensky Not Invited
Amid an escalating war that appears to get farther from any hope of a ceasefire, let alone peace, late on Sunday the WSJ reported that Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict that would favor Moscow.
If This Was A Normal Week...
Maybe it was because I was in Europe that last week didn't seem "normal." Maybe that is why some of the things that I would think are most topical don't seem topical (or at least weren't what markets were responding to?).
Saudi Arabia At The Breaking Point
For most of this war, Saudi Arabia has been the shock absorber of the world oil market. When Hormuz closed, Riyadh pushed crude west through the East-West pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea and kept at least part of its exports moving. That bypass is now under attack. Ansar Allah has seized islands at the mouth of the Red Sea, declared a "maritime ban" on Saudi shipping and claimed strikes on Saudi airports, and in September drones knocked the East-West pipeline largely out of service.
"Escape Valve" No More: San Francisco Moves To End School Choice Lottery
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUD) board passed a resolution on Oct. 13 to replace the current lottery-based admission policy with a neighborhood-based system for elementary schools. Board members voted 5-2 to develop a policy under which every student would be assigned to a neighborhood school based on their home address, with a seat guaranteed even if applying late. Programs such as language immersion, K-8 schools, and special education remain open to citywide students to apply.
X Gets "Stronger" As Threads And Bluesky Quarantine The "Worst People On The Internet"
Meta Platforms' Threads and rival Bluesky have devolved into far-left echo chambers that some describe as platforms for the clinically insane, where intelligent conversations are severely lacking and discussions become shouting matches among those suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and infected by the woke mind virus.
BTIG Spots "Real-World Evidence" Humanoid Robots Are Entering The Workforce
Goldman Sachs' recent upward revisions to global humanoid robot delivery forecasts through the end of the decade, along with rising estimates across Wall Street desks, point to broader expected adoption in factories, restaurants, and other workplaces. Military applications and household use could follow soon. BTIG strategic opportunities analyst Jesse Sobelson told clients Friday that the physical AI boom is moving onto factory floors, into warehouses, and behind restaurant counters.
Tesla Wins Round In FSD False-Ad Suit As Court Tosses Class Certification
A federal appeals court blocked Tesla customers in California from pursuing class action claims that the company misled them about the hardware capabilities of its full self-driving (FSD) technology. A class action is a lawsuit filed when a group of people or businesses suffer common injuries as a result of a party's alleged conduct. For a consumer case to proceed as a class action, the buyers generally need to show they were all exposed to the same allegedly false statements in a similar way.
Saudi Helicopter Downed, Two Pilots Killed, In First Of Renewed Yemen War
Saudi Arabia has confirmed two military pilots are dead after their reconnaissance helicopter crashed near the border with war-ravaged Yemen - the first such reported Saudi military deaths since the renew of war with the Houthis last month. Saudi official statements are calling it a crash, describing it as a malfunction or accident, while the Houthis are saying they shot down the aircraft.
Pimco Sees A 6% 10-Year... Here's Why "Bad Inflation" Caps Yields
Will interest rates go up to 6%? That's the question on many investors' minds since Pimco's chief investment officer, Dan Ivascyn, told the Financial Times last Friday that a 6% 10-year Treasury yield is "certainly possible." This week's hotter-than-expected September CPI report only added fuel to that argument. I get it. The 10-year closed at 5.31% on October 5, the highest close since May 2002. It started the year at 4.18%. However, look at what is actually driving inflation.
"I Want That Deterrence Message": Michigan Dem Slotkin Wants To Prosecute Trump Admin To Scare Off Young Conservatives
This election, Democrats have careened to the far left with calls to pack the Supreme Court, unleash a flurry of impeachments, and investigate Republicans. Few, however, have been as honest as Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.) about the purpose of such threats. Slotkin recently said the quiet part out loud in an interview at my alma mater, the University of Chicago, admitting she wants to deter young people from even considering supporting the Administration... if they know what is good for them.
Canadian Government Threatens To Punish Steel Maker Over Tariff Layoffs
The fundamental nature of socialist economics is to use governments to rig markets in favor of certain groups and outcomes. Canada has been exploiting this dynamic for decades (along with their proximity to the largest consumer market in the world), in order to secure optimal benefit for their GDP and their liberal leadership. US tariffs, love them or hate them, are one of the few mechanisms available to level the playing field against countries (and corporations) that abuse global trade.
Two Decades Of Mass Financial Delusion Ends Now
Friday's selloff was not a surprise. Between deteriorating credit markets, rising Treasury yields, increasingly absurd artificial intelligence valuations, enormous amounts of leverage and an entire financial system that has spent the better part of two decades mainlining cheap money like a frat guy guzzling Jaegermeister at the bottom of an ice luge, the warning signs have been flashing for quite some time.
The Left's Rank Hypocrisy On 'Socialist Influencers'
Far-left candidates court socialist influencers in primaries, then pivot to the center for the general election... If memory serves me, while serving in Congress amidst a heated midterm battle in the mid-2000s, I made a cable television appearance where I was asked an "ambush" question. Well, it wasn't quite an ambush question, because the station in question was left-wing; hence, the anchor's Pavlovian parroting of the Democrat talking point du jour was really no surprise.
France Enters "Point Of No Return" As Riots And Chaos Spread
President Trump said, " France is burning!" on Truth Social early this morning, as what appears to be the fall of France quickly unfolds. Consumed by nation-killing Third Worldism through a decade of unfettered mass migration and a cancerous far-left movement, the nation is on a troubling trajectory as its imploding welfare state collides with a fiscal mess. Riots across France today. Looting, fires, vandalism and attacks against policemen and firefighters reported from cities across the country.
Army Chief Warns Britons Must Make Sacrifices For Coming War
General Sir Roly Walker, Chief of the Army General Staff in the UK, has declared that Britons will be required to make sacrifices for their country in a coming war. He addressed around 700 soldiers at Catterick Garrison and laid out the coming reality in plain terms. "You didn't know this, but our nation is going to need you," he said. "There was a time that our nation didn't want to think of a time when it would need its soldiers to fight in a war.
NRC Backs Fermi's Four Texas Reactors
Fermi America's nuclear plans just cleared their first regulatory hurdle. NRC staff have preliminarily recommended issuing combined licenses for four Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at Project Matador, Fermi's planned power and AI campus outside Amarillo, Texas, according to a draft environmental impact statement the agency put out for comment on October 9th. Together, the four units would add over 4.4 GW of nuclear generation capacity to the private grid.
US Firms Account For 75% Of Chips Powering Russia's New Jet Drone
Building on our earlier notes mapping out the supply chain behind the Russian one-way attack drone, a new report from a Ukrainian defense news outlet claims that a whopping " three-quarters of the Geran-4's onboard computer consists of electronic components manufactured by American companies." Militarnyi's supply-chain intelligence investigation into Russian Geran-4 drones identified 80 components from US companies among 105 cataloged parts, suggesting how heavily Russia relies on foreign...
The Biggest Winners And Losers From The Petrodollar's Decline
The Iran war is straining US weapons stockpiles and raising doubts about Washington's ability to protect the Persian Gulf. If that weakens the petrodollar and pushes oil producers away from the US financial system, two assets face clear headwinds: the US dollar and US Treasuries. The petrodollar system helped create structural demand for both. If oil exporters sell more energy outside the dollar system, fewer oil dollars need to flow back through Wall Street and into Treasury securities.
Watergate, A Hoax?
If you are a baby boomer, you remember The Beatles, Henry Aaron hitting #715, and President Nixon resigning over Watergate. It was our soundtrack, as they like to say. It gave us words like "Nixonian" and "The Saturday Night Massacre" and Oval Office tapes. It turned the 37th president into an evil man, and everyone took a shot at him. Even the GOP took down his pictures at the party's convention.
How I Stopped Worrying, And Learned To Love Data Centers
During this time of increased political polarization, it is good to know that there is one issue uniting Trump-loving MAGA Republicans, Bernie Sanders-style Democratic Socialists, and everyone in between: opposition to data centers, especially large data centers built for artificial intelligence (AI). Part of the opposition stems from the public's increasing skepticism of AI.
