When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Shorter version: 1. Go easy on Russia. 2. Russia is helping Iran kill Americans, but only a little, so that’s okay. 3. How dare Ukraine defend itself?! 4. This is all Biden’s fault (unless it’s Zelensky’s).
Trump: "My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want! Perhaps more importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way. Lastly, Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn’t care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

Master Sgt. Nicole Amor was killed one day into Trump's war in Iran.
Her husband asked JD Vance a simple question: Who will be held accountable for the failures that led to her death?
Vance's answer: He hasn’t heard of ANY failures in the war.
Unacceptable. This war must END.
Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died:
Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable?
Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.

Trump’s Aid and Comfort to Putin — for those who came of age in the Cold War, this is hard to fathom. But if you stick to the facts, it’s impossible to deny … nationalreview.com/2026/10/c…

This proposed plan is absolutely unacceptable.
Here’s what the plan actually does: 36 holes of public golf cut to 18. No more mini golf. No more park. More running / cycling road. No more playground. No more introductory course. Nobody has said a word about the Cherry blossoms.
Who is this actually for? Not the kid learning to golf. Not the family in a walk. Not the birders.
This was never about the public. It’s for the elitists who want a private showcase, and one man’s ego.

🇱🇹 BREAKING: Lithuania says an attempt was made overnight to set fire to a company storing Starlink communications equipment used by Ukraine, in an incident Prime Minister Mindaugas Sinkevičius has linked to Russia’s suspected hybrid warfare campaign against Europe.
The attempted arson took place at around 2 a.m. According to Sinkevičius, the company had already been warned by Lithuanian security services about possible attacks, prompting it to strengthen security at the site. The attempt was ultimately prevented, and incendiary liquids were found at the scene in containers ranging from 3 to 5 litres, as well as a 10-litre canister.
The company supports nine Starlink satellite antennas used by Ukraine, making the facility relevant to communications supporting Kyiv.
Lithuanian officials have confirmed that the incident is under investigation. Police Commissioner General Arūnas Paulauskas said officers worked through the night collecting evidence and examining the scene. No suspects have been detained so far, and the company’s operations were not disrupted. Any damage is believed to be minimal.
1. Putin seems to have increasing control over Starlink in part because of blackmail threats to destroy it — both on the ground and in space.
2. The simplest answer to what Trump may do in lieu of, or in response to, the election is to fully suspend the constitution.

The Trump Administration was clearly lying about the reasons for their mass felling of trees in East Potomac last weekend.
They were lying to conceal from the American people that, at a time when our country is at war and everyone is worried about the economy and high prices, the President simply doesn’t care—he’s focused on building an upscale golf course within walking distance of the White House. And on his fancy ballroom and his memorial arch to himself.
The design he’s pursuing would block off roads and paths used by large numbers of local residents for cycling and walking, no doubt to make the area another exclusive hangout for Trump’s rich and powerful friends.
And once again he’s doing all of that at great expense, on your dime.
Breaking: Trump says he'll close East Potomac golf course Nov 15 and begin his overhaul
"The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect," Trump wrote.
Officials didn't immediately respond to Qs about cost

First half misses that stand out to me. All my opinions.
1. “Holding” on Jaguars TD Run. Egregious. No hold and flag was thrown after TD run by deep official with worst angle.
2. DPI call on deep pass at end of half. Didn’t see it, gave Houston 1st and goal at 1.
3. Holding on #4 CB for Jaguars. Didn’t see anything there.
4. No DPI on incomplete pass by Houston on second to last play of half.
Really rough half and most of these misses have really gone against Jacksonville.

This is a major problem. Jags front office has definitely had calls about the calls with the league. Everyone does. How does the NFL continue to defend what has happened at times the last few weeks?
