I’m spitballing here, but: “Petrol thieves” sent to scout base and get information on surveillance/response times. Trump’s “they wanted to do big damage” comment could be a lie, but could be a leak of a classified assessment referring to the actual would-be attackers, not the recon element.

A leopard doesn't change its spots because it becomes president. One of the biggest mistakes Americans made was believing the office would change the man. Instead, the man changed the office. Read: cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/09/acti...

Israel is treating an incident aboard flydubai FZ1073 (Dubai to Tel Aviv) as a terror incident. Officials say the Omani copilot stabbed the Emirati captain over Jordan and tried to take control. The captain signaled a possible hijacking and the jet dropped about 14,000 ft in a minute.

Trump said his GOP convention beat the NFL. Nielsen says the Seahawks-Patriots opener drew 25.1 million viewers. Trump’s speech drew about 3.3 million across three networks. Claiming victory after losing by roughly 21.8 million people takes a special kind of self delusion.

Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”
