US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, massively overreaching for someone with tiny arms: “Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. “And we expect our allies, many of whom are part of the ICC, and that rely on American service members for their defence, to rein in this rogue court.

Our economy is underperforming; what little growth exists is almost completely reliant on AI development financed by unsustainable debt. #economy

Republican super PACs are flooding the airwaves in once-safe states and pulling down ads for races that look like lost causes. Trump, with his approval ratings near record lows, is popping up in some of America's reddest states and seemingly doing more harm than good. www.axios.com/2026/10/08/r...

Republican midterm triage puts bleak outlook into focus
The polls may not be quite right. But money — and how campaigns and PACs spend it — rarely lies.

Since the first media reports, WHO has been actively following up on the reported death of a laboratory worker at the Irkutsk Antiplague Research Institute in Irkutsk oblast, Russian Federation. The individual died on 2 October 2026 after being hospitalised with severe pneumonia. Initial media reports suggested pneumonic plague following an alleged accidental laboratory exposure.
In response to WHO's verification request under the International Health Regulations, the Russian health authorities reported that no case of plague had recently been registered in Irkutsk oblast. They informed WHO that an epidemiological investigation had been conducted, preventive and control measures implemented, and identified contacts placed under medical observation and tested. They reported that no high-threat pathogens had been detected among the contacts and that medical observation of all identified contacts had been completed. WHO has remained in contact with the Russian health authorities and has offered technical support.
WHO has requested further information to clarify the cause of the severe pneumonia, the pathogen that prompted the public health measures, and media reports of a second employee with pneumonia of undetermined cause.
Timely, complete and transparent information sharing under the International Health Regulations is essential to clarify conflicting reports and enable an accurate assessment of potential public health risks.

Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia have all attacked Israel since its inception in 1948 with the expressed goal of eradication (genocide), and there have been 1,795 terrorist attacks resulting in 4,727 deaths. This is how we end up with a far-right government filled with hate.

Did I not say that the right-wing government of Israel is evil? Yes, of course I did. The current violence started with a horrific act of terror by Hamas, which is also evil. Are the actions of the far-right Israeli government, 70,000 dead, horrible? Yes. Try reading the article.

She is either an idiot or simply an anarchist rejecting all forms of authority, government, and institutions with constant excuses; today, it's Zionism and genocide. While Mamdani and AOC try to accomplish things, and El-Sayed is embraced by Democrats, she now views them as the bad guys.

The far-right government of Israel has become evil; this article explains how they got there. The truth that people will not consider is that Hamas is also truely evil. People condemning "genocide" while chanting from the river to the sea, which means the eradication of Israel, is hypocritical.

The history of Israel, from 1948 to the present, shows that if not for its military power, the Jewish state would long since have been destroyed—by invasion in 1948, 1967, or 1973; by terrorist assaults; or by Syria, Iraq, or Iran. However... 1/3 www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Seems to be the case. They have now turned on a couple of their success stories, Mamdani and AOC, and the DSA Senate candidate in Michigan, El-Sayed. All because they are working with mainstream Democrats to get things done in office and to get elected. When they show you who they are, believe them.

V.P. Harris was not only the better choice; she was the only choice. Our elections are binary: either the Democrat or the Republican wins. If they did not vote, voted third party, or voted for Trump, they helped elect an adjudicated rapist, a convicted fraudster, and an insurrectionist.

Both Trump and Vance are extremely unpopular not only with Democrats but also with independent voters. Vance also lacks charisma or any positive, coherent message about why people should vote for the GOP. I don't see how having him and Trump campaign helps.

Be sure to visit Vatican City, including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Gardens of Vatican City. Also, hit a small café right outside the Vatican; it has the best wood-fired pizza and bruschetta. The Pantheon in the central Piazza della Rotonda is a must-see.
