White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller asks why childhood cancer is so much more common in developed countries, calling it a “disease of civilization.”
"There's no other primate in the world where pediatric cancer is commonplace."
"Only in humans."
"Why is that?"
"And what's fascinating, and this is something that's not disputed, is that they have vastly lower rates of pediatric cancer in the developing world than the developed world."
"It is a disease of civilization."
"And they find that when someone moves from the developing world to the developed world, within one generation, so their children, they have the exact same cancer rates as the existing population in the United States or other Western countries."
"So what is happening in our environment, in our food supply, in our lives, and in our medical protocols that is causing us to be so sick?"

The OSS is back.
Built by some of WWII’s most visionary minds, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) carried American resolve into the hardest places and against the most determined enemies. It embodied the determination of Americans who believed they could achieve the impossible.
Today, after 81 years, the OSS returns.
Our operators deserve a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. @ASWAndersonSOF advocated for a Secretariat for Special Operations that operates in both name and function, setting the pace, driving coordination, and ensuring SOF has the resources needed.
This redesignation strengthens SOF representation within @DeptofWar and reaffirms America’s commitment to the forces entrusted with the Nation’s most demanding missions.

Durham, under oath, confirmed that the FBI informant Stefan Halper lied to the FBI in coordination with Christopher Steele in order to obtain surveillance on the Trump administration via the Page FISA.
Yet @Jim_Jordan @JudiciaryGOP didn't subpoena Halper and/or his documents.

As noted by Russian President Putin, allowing hedge funds, financial interests and inorganic market forces to set the prices of energy disconnects oil and gas from the economic principle of supply and demand.

When a Muslim Brotherhood member wins a Senate race, that’s NOT DEMOCRACY; that’s USEFUL IDIOTS hating their own country. When the mullahs in Iran took over, socialists helped them, and later, the Islamists killed them all. This is the most dangerous moment for Western civilization. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is a dark chapter in this great nation’s history.
And as the Bible warns:
“For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7 (KJV)
Be careful what you plant in the name of democracy. You may not enjoy the harvest.

It's happening.
Poland's ambassadors are resigning in protest, Nawrocki has personally stormed the Constitutional Court, and NO ONE has come out in support of Tusk.
The EU is LOSING the attempted coup. Tusk is going to be imprisoned.
Keep fighting, Poland! 🇵🇱

Europe has developed a pretty interesting definition of “protecting democracy.”
🇷🇴 Romania annulled a presidential election after Călin Georgescu finished first, then barred him from the rerun.
🇭🇺 Hungary’s new government rewrote the constitution with retroactive limits that block Viktor Orbán from becoming PM again and later approved rules barring long-serving MPs from the next parliamentary election.
🇩🇪 Germany’s domestic intelligence service classified the AfD as extremist, opening the door to much heavier surveillance of the country’s biggest opposition party.
🇫🇷 France upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction, kept restrictions on her political future and ordered her to wear an electronic ankle tag.
🇪🇸 In Spain, more than a dozen people tied to Pedro Sánchez’s political and personal circle have been investigated or prosecuted in separate corruption cases, while Sánchez himself has not been charged.
🇬🇧 Britain postponed local elections during a sweeping reorganization of local government, triggering a petition accusing the government of voter suppression.
🇵🇱 And now Poland has police surrounding its Constitutional Tribunal while the government and opposition accuse each other of trying to seize control of the court.
The real red line in Europe may not be democracy... It may be leaving the club.

14. An apparently fraudulent election in Brazil where the presumed presidential election winner was forced to flee the country under threat of arrest by his opponent.
15. The uncovering of a Color Revolution plot in the USA led by embittered former USAID employees and ex-military members.
That’s a lot to be happening all at once, don’t you think?
And the USA is having midterm elections next week.
You know, if I was a conspiracy-minded type I might be connecting some dots here. 🧐

You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.

JUST IN: The Pentagon has published a remarkable image of China's secretive Shenlong spaceplane in orbit, captured by a Maxar satellite and featured in its newly released 2026 space threat assessment.
The reusable, uncrewed spacecraft launches aboard a rocket and returns to Earth on a runway, similar to the U.S. military's X-37B.
China has conducted four orbital missions since 2020, demonstrating the ability to deploy and maneuver near other objects in space.
The DIA warns that technologies used for satellite inspection and proximity operations could also support anti-satellite capabilities.
China has disclosed few details about the spacecraft's missions or capabilities.

Imagine the Supreme Court stopping the count after polls close and ordering polls reopen for two hours ONLY in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Atlanta, and you sort of get the scope of what's currently happening in Brazil.

David Friedberg: France’s Crisis Is a Warning for America
“France is a bellwether for the West.
So take a look at this chart. This chart is a measure of public spending as a percent of GDP.
And you can see the comparison of France's public spending as a % of GDP to the peak public spending as a % of GDP of major communist nations.”
@Chamath:
“So do you think France is a communist state? They spend like it.”
@Jason:
“Well, it's certainly been a socialist state, right?”
Chamath:
“Is it working?”
@Friedberg:
“That's my point. And I think this is such a prescient lesson for the West to look at.
We all think that there's some political problem with Macron or whoever it was.
The more the government spends, the worse the conditions get for its people, not the opposite, and then the people riot and revolt.
Take a guess where the US is today. US public spending is roughly 36% of GDP. France today is operating its national government spending deficit is 5.4% of GDP. The US is actually 6.2% of GDP.
France is, I think, probably the first to go because they're only growing their economy at half a percent while the US is growing at 2.3%.
So we're still kind of hanging on because we have some degree of economic growth that's allowing us to kind of hold things together.
But I would argue that we are facing the same sort of fiscal cliff which leads to this extraordinary social unrest as France.
All the economic measures are aligned, we're at the same rate, we're at the same set of problems, and we're starting to see the cracks in the system.
There's probably a multi-year solution.”

Via @ragipsoylu, the full text of the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan has now been published, with the agreement being sent to the Turkish Parliament for ratification by the government.
In the recent past, when amidst Houthi attacks, Saudi Arabia invoked the agreement, and Türkiye’s lacking response was questioned by critics, with Turkish officials responding by saying that the deal was not yet legally operative.
