Are you up-to-date??

With all of the election excitement you may have missed a few things that also happened this week....
- Kushner secretly took $2 billion from Saudi and Emirati leaders and agreed to work on their behalf. He also sent bribes to mercenaries in Azerbaijan.
- On October 26, a congressional report included testimony from 11 women who connected Trump to Epstein. 5 of them said they were raped by Trump himself. 2 were only 13 years old at the time.
- A federal judge just froze all construction-related activities on Trump's ridiculous arch to allow the court time to evaluate ongoing lawsuits. The judge should just say 'Losers don't get triumphant arches in this country!'
- There was a major fire at the Savannah River nuclear plant that led to airspace restrictions, shelter-in-place instructions, and a five-hour emergency declaration. The government is withholding details.
- AI stocks took a nose dive after the election, erasing $2.5 TRILLION in market value.
- The US, Russia, and Israel are actively blocking proposals for a legally binding international treaty to restrict or ban Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems.
- ICE got caught holding a US citizen with severe paranoid schizophrenia hostage for the past 10 months. ICE denied him medication and treatment.
- A UN inquiry found Israel guilty of committing genocide in Gaza after a ceasefire. The investigation found that Israelis invaded and are holding hostage at gunpoint Palestinian homes in Jericho.
- The hottest October ever recorded was this past October 2026.
- Average annual heat-related deaths increased 36% from 2016-2026 over the previous decade.
- Trump forced Susie Wiles to resign and named Stephen Miller the new White House chief of staff.
- 3M agreed to pay up to $7.35 billion to settle roughly 99% of personal injury claims tied to PFAS ("forever chemical") groundwater contamination from firefighting foam.
- Russel Brand was convicted of rape and three charges of sexual assault with two more rape cases against him pending.

This blog is a one-man project. For the next week to 10 days I am going to be tied up, for a good part of each day, with family matters. Posting will probably be sparse and sporadic.

This is NOT good behavior
