Just constant lying. It is not "Europe" it is the G7. It is not "immediately", but over 4 months.
A social media post by a user named Donald J. Trump with a verified badge. The profile picture features an American flag design. The post reads: "Europe has just agreed to release a massive amount of their heavily stocked Diesel Oil. The process will begin immediately. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT."

Just like JD Vance.
Isn't it a founding principle of the country that the press is supposed to hold government and those in power accountable? Do you believe in that?

It is, but they got to treat you fairly. You know, when they write stories that are knowingly false, and everyone knows NBC's, NBC's bad too, but CNN is terrible. MS Now changed their name because they have no friends.

Well, let's shift to Iran because a lot's going on over there. You initially said that the war would take about six to eight weeks. We're now entering the seventh month. Can you just explain, like, why is it taking so long?

I certainly hope Lockheed and any other company that "donates" money for Trump's projects gets a positively brutal ass reaming prosecution. Fines cannot be the only penalty, we need to see prison time for these corrupt mf'ers.
"Trump says Lockheed paid for his new helipad and ballroom." President Donald Trump discussed various topics in a September 28 interview at the White House, including the war with Iran, AI policy, press access, the economy, and White House renovations. Key points include:

- Extending the Iran campaign to destroy nuclear sites, navy, and air force, claiming 159 ships sunk and inflation at 300 percent.
- Defending restricted access for CNN and MSNBC, labeling them "fake news" while supporting a "free press" but not an "honest press."
- Meeting with Dario Amodei on AI, calling it "super intelligence" and warning against over-regulation.
- Criticizing the Supreme Court on tariffs and birthright citizenship, expressing regret over appointing Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett, and desiring justices who deliver "good decisions."
- Stating White House renovations, including a helipad and ballroom, cost taxpayers nothing due to funding from Lockheed Martin and Congress.

The SCOTUS terror regime has landed another body blow to democracy. difopin.com/zaktur3
Supreme Court lets states expand citizenship checks on voter rolls. The Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to expand a federal citizenship database for checking voter rolls, despite lower-court findings of likely unlawfulness. The court's 6-3 emergency ruling permits use of the expanded SAVE database during ongoing legal challenges. The database now includes Social Security Administration information, enabling searches by Social Security number and bulk voter roll checks. Critics argue the data is unreliable and may wrongly flag or remove U.S. citizens, including newly naturalized ones. The court stated the National Voter Registration Act prohibits broad voter-roll purges before elections, but states can conduct individualized checks. Texas processed over 18 million registrations through SAVE, with only three people charged for illegal voting as noncitizens, according to the report.

EU and six partners seek a stronger, more representative global system. The EU and six co-sponsors launched the Partners for Multilateralism initiative to strengthen international cooperation, peace, sustainable development, and respect for international law. The initiative was launched on 21 September 2026 during the United Nations General Assembly High-Level Week. Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, India, and Kenya joined the EU as co-sponsors. The summit responded to geopolitical tensions, conflicts, climate change, and artificial intelligence challenges affecting multilateral institutions. Signatories said the United Nations Charter-based system remains indispensable but needs reform to become more effective, representative, and inclusive. Leaders committed to cooperation on conflict prevention, crisis response, sustainable development, fair trade, human rights, and the rule of law. The declaration reaffirmed sovereign equality, territorial integrity, peaceful dispute settlement, and the prohibition of threats or uses of force.

"Heating-oil bills in the Northeast could rise as much as 31% this winter." Bloomberg: tinyurl.com/28bqtmxb
Black Sea attacks tighten global wheat and fuel supplies. The Black Sea conflict is disrupting wheat shipments and driving a broader food and fuel supply shock alongside the crisis around the Strait of Hormuz. Russia and Ukraine account for more than a quarter of global wheat trade, but attacks on ports, vessels, and infrastructure have sharply reduced shipments since July. Egypt, the world’s largest wheat buyer, has received no Black Sea grain for about a month. Ukraine is struggling to move harvests by land and river and lacks storage space. Wheat prices have reached three-year highs, while Ukraine’s neighbors have imposed import bans and prospects for a new shipping corridor remain limited. Vietnam’s Golden Wheat CEO Tue Vuong said canceled Black Sea cargoes left his company exposed and forced him to search for replacement supplies. Diesel shortages are adding to inflation risks. U.S. retail diesel prices exceeded $6 a gallon this month, and the EIA expects Russian refinery outages to affect global distillate markets through the first half of 2027. The disruptions could raise freight, farming, food-delivery, and home-heating costs, with one U.S. group warning that heating-oil bills in the Northeast could rise as much as 31% this winter if prices remain high.

The Greenland deal is a normal international treaty, not a MAGA invasion on paper. Berlingske Media: archive.ph/1bFgV
The text discusses how US officials and diplomats convinced Trump that a plan was a major victory, despite it not being a victory for those wanting an American takeover of Greenland. It highlights the principle that countries cannot annex others' territories, supporting the Western rules-based order. Most Americans did not support Trump's idea of annexing Greenland. The situation puzzled American politicians, especially Republicans, regarding Trump's threats against an ally. European leaders were concerned about Trump's threats. Ultimately, Trump sought an exit strategy and, after a conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, announced he would not attack Greenland militarily.

Germany almost has a fuel price agreement. I hope we get the Deutsche Naturschutzring position to subsidize public transportation first. The €9 Deutschland ticket was a universal success getting people out of their cars.
Germany weighs capping fuel prices after a costly two-month rebate. Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition is negotiating a new fuel rebate with a price cap on gasoline and diesel. The first rebate in May and June cut fuel prices by almost 17 cents per liter. The plan would adopt a maximum fuel price similar to Luxembourg and Belgium, barring stations from charging more. A 17-cent rebate costs the government about 800 million euros monthly. The government wants states to cover 50 percent, which states have rejected. The EU is being pressed for an "excess profit tax" on oil company profits, but Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil lacks support in Brussels. A proposed VAT cut from 19 to 7 percent has been dropped. The German Nature Conservation Ring (DNR) criticized the flat rebate, advocating for stronger support of the Deutschlandticket or direct mobility payment.

Pipeline Damage Deepens Fuel Crunch, Keeping Price Relief Out of Reach

Fuel prices could rise sharply as damage to Saudi Arabia’s key East-West oil pipeline deepens an already severe global energy disruption.

- U.S. regular gasoline averages $4.44 per gallon; diesel has reached a record $6.40.
- Midwest prices jumped as much as 25 cents overnight, worsened by an ExxonMobil refinery outage near Chicago.
- Analysts estimate pipeline repairs could take one to two months, contradicting administration assurances of a rapid restart.
- Reduced oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, attacks on Saudi infrastructure, depleted reserves, and renewed Chinese demand are tightening supply.
- A diesel export ban is being considered, though economists warn it could worsen shortages.

The outlook points to sustained consumer pain, with further price spikes possible before relief arrives.

Another China critic, Jennifer Zeng, cited a former Chinese Communist Party (CCP) official when she claimed that “Xi Jinping is suffering from cerebellar atrophy”. “It is a difficult condition to deal with, because unlike problems with some other organs, the cerebellum cannot simply be replaced through a transplant,” Ms Zeng wrote. “Judging from various signs, it seems quite possible that Xi Jinping is indeed experiencing health problems.” Xi’s health has long been subject to scrutiny because he has heavily concentrated power around himself without a clear successor, and the health of Chinese leaders is treated as a highly classified state secret.

It makes me wonder how these people can pretend that in the next for months, with record high gas prices, supply shortages, the start of heating season, and bond yields fast rising, that there is the possibility of a Fed rate cut. Total madness.
"The plain fact is that inflation is too high and has been for too long," Mr. Warsh said at a news conference after the decision was announced. He added the American economy remained strong and unemployment was low.

Policymakers also indicated in new forecasts that there would likely be further adjustments. According to the latest "dot plot," which tracks what officials think will happen to borrowing costs over the coming years, the vast majority of policymakers who submitted projections expect at least one more quarter-point move by the end of the year. Four officials thought rates would need to rise half a percentage point from here this year. Two penciled in the Fed reversing course and cutting this year.

In 2027, the median estimate for rates stood at 4 percent to 4.25 percent, although there was a range of views. Eight policymakers forecast rates would end the year a quarter of a percentage point higher than that, while four expected rates to be no higher than 3.5 percent to 3.75 percent.

We're learning now three pumping stations were hit, not only one. The knock-on effects to everyday life (with winter coming to the northern hemisphere) will be tough. Shortages and price increases this time. Not convinced Brent sees $73 in 2027, seems like wishcasting. tinyurl.com/2c5fcjln
The text discusses the EIA's expectation for 2026 Brent crude to average $91.01 per barrel, nearly $22 higher than last year. Key points include Middle East supply disruptions increasing shut-ins to 6.7 million barrels per day in August, up from 5.0 million in July. The EIA anticipates Brent easing to $73.74 in 2027 as flows recover, but warns some Gulf output may not return to pre-conflict levels. S&P Global Energy describes the disruption risk as "persistent, not episodic," projecting Middle East exports at 10–16 million bpd through 2027, compared to about 20 million before the war. Limited refining capacity is tempering crude prices despite constrained supply. The text concludes that supply shocks are reshaping oil markets into a prolonged high-price era, not a temporary spike.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy's post on social media discusses Ukraine's response to Russian strikes, emphasizing that Ukraine does not cause humanitarian disasters. He mentions Ukraine's capability to respond to Russian operations and the possibility of Russia striking Ukraine's energy system in winter, stating that Ukraine will respond appropriately.

On the right, an image of a coin featuring a man's face, labeled "LIBERTY 1776-2026," alongside a bag labeled "U.S. MINT DOLLARS $100.00" and coin rolls.
