Poverty Rate Hits LOWEST LEVEL in US History: The ‘Greatest Story Never Told’ Just Keeps Getting Better
Record real household income and record-low poverty are a pretty great story to tell. So is the lowest murder rate in 126 years, a 99.9 percent reduction in illegal border crossings, or a thousand other things. Nearly a million additional Americans working in just two months is a pretty solid answer to those who told us Trump would fail. That’s not all. America just also hit its highest real median household income in history. The Atlanta Fed’s October 20 estimate puts third-quarter growth at a strong 3.5 percent annual rate. That’s after years of Democrats promising us that 1.6 percent was “the new normal.”

Ukraine’s best answer to Russia’s jet Shaheds is its own jet Shahed, turned around to hunt them
It’s called Bars, and Zelensky says it has the best hit rate of any Ukrainian interceptor against the jet drones, about 30%, but the small jet engines it needs may be in short supply.

Scientists Are Preparing for a Tunguska-Sized Asteroid Threat in a New Planetary Defense Exercise
“Asteroids are extremely varied in their structures and properties, ranging from weak, loosely bound rubble piles to strong, dense, iron-type monoliths,” Wheeler explained. “When you combine those structural and density uncertainties with the size uncertainties, you get a huge range in the potential mass and energy that could airburst or impact Earth.” “The current exercise that is underway for the 2027 Planetary Defense Conference is based around a hypothetical impact threat from a roughly Tunguska-sized object,” Wheeler told The Debrief.

Czech Communist’s Defection Makes Le Pen’s Far-Right Group Largest in the European Parliament
Marine Le Pen’s far-right group in the European Parliament is now larger than Giorgia Meloni’s – thanks to a Czech communist. The far-right PFE group, led by Le Pen’s “crown prince” Jordan Bardella, now has 85 members – one more than its colleagues in the Italian-dominated far-right ECR group. This follows Katerina Konečná of the Czech Communist Party (KSČM) joining the PFE. She believes it has “most in common” with the left-wing alliance she ran for in the 2024 election.

Witkoff’s Europe meetings point to new peace talks, despite praise for Putin
Russia and Ukraine both see opportunities to resume talks on a peace settlement, but only at a lower level. That is the most concrete result so far of US envoy Steve Witkoff’s meetings with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin, despite Witkoff’s effusive praise of Putin. Steve Witkoff has returned to the United States after intense days of negotiations in both Oslo and St. Petersburg.

Putin agrees to resume three-way talks with Kyiv and Washington
President ⁠Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Wednesday that Ukraine supported a US proposal for three-way talks ‌with Russia ⁠and the United ‌States at the level ⁠of negotiators to be held as soon as possible, preferably ‌no later than early November.

MAJOR NEW DEVELOPMENT — After Meeting with President Trump’s Team, Zelensky Announces HE WOULD ACCEPT A PEACE DEAL to FREEZE the Current Frontlines as They Stand
Zelensky says YES to a deal freezing the frontlines after talks with Trump’s team. Now comes the critical test: turning diplomacy into a ceasefire that holds. Volodymyr Zelensky has publicly expressed willingness to accept a deal freezing the current frontlines, offering a potentially significant opening for President Donald Trump’s push to stop the fighting.

Trump supporters confronted with painful gas prices deliver striking response: ‘I’ll take that any day’
Voters at the North Carolina event backed the president’s stance that the ongoing war with Iran is a ‘small price to pay’. “If you’re really a good American, you’ll be thinking not for yourself or how much you’re spending for gas. But what life is going to be like for your children, your grandchildren and great-grandchildren,” one voter told Fox News Digital on Tuesday evening.

Israeli jets flew to Iran’s border, some US sources suspect bid to rile Tehran
Dozens of Israeli fighter jets and refueling aircraft flew over Syria and Iraq toward the Iranian border earlier this week, following a flight path resembling an attack on Iran, … The aircraft turned around shortly before reaching Iranian territory and returned to Israel,

Houthi Attack On Aramco Facility Kills Two; US Prepares More Diplomatic Evacuations In Riyadh
Earlier, Reuters reported said the US State Department is preparing to issue an ordered departure of some personnel and family members at US embassies across the Gulf. Note, this update says just from Saudi Arabia, not the entire Gulf. Meanwhile, more has emerged on the fresh Houthi targeting of a Saudi Aramco facility in the kingdom’s eastern region. “A drone targeting a facility at Aramco’s Shaybah oil field in the eastern region was intercepted on Wednesday morning, …

Oil Slides As Russia Willing To Resume Trilateral Talks With Ukraine, After ‘Productive’ Witkoff Visit
The Kremlin has on Wednesday communicated to Trump envoy Steve Witkoff that Russia is “in principle, ready to resume” trilateral negotiations involving the US and Ukraine, toward finding a permanent settlement to the war. Oil prices slipped lower on the report…

Pollster Cited By NY Times, Other Outlets Admits It’s Fake
A purported company whose polls were listed by a slew of outlets, including The New York Times, has said that all but one of its surveys were not real. Wedgewood Polling said in a statement on Oct. 20 that it was developed by people who previously worked in the poll sector and wondered how easy it would be for a fabricated polling firm to gain traction, be taken seriously, and “expose how little scrutinization exists in media and public commentary.”

Macron, you asked for it, you got it – A Palestinian state
As the expression goes – be careful what you ask for, because it may not work out so well. Surely that must have crossed the mind of French president Emmanuel Macron over the past few days. The date was September 22, 2025 when he uttered those fateful words… “France recognizes the State of Palestine.”Just a little over one year later, Paris is burning, Lyons and Marseilles are chaotic, Jewish owned shops destroyed, department stores looted, trash and litter cover French streets, monuments burnt to the ground, more than a thousand arrested, the Palestinian flag has been hoisted next to the tricolor flag of France, and there doesn’t seem to be any let-up in sight. Someone might call it karma, but I call it the biblical law of reciprocity. Bless Israel and you get blessed. Curse Israel and you get cursed. The divine reaction to one’s original action is unavoidable.

Yishmael’s mobs drive France’s Jews home as Israel readies for a new wave of aliyah
Schools set on fire in the Paris suburbs, students hurling objects at police in Rennes and Grenoble, and nearly 5,000 arrests have pushed Israel’s government to plan for something it has seen before: French Jews heading for the airport. The Bible named the force behind this moment four thousand years ago. Ishmael, Yishma-El in Hebrew, means “God will hear,” and the Sages taught that the pressure from Ishmael’s descendants at the end of days would bring the cry of the Jewish people before God and the Jews of the exile back to their land.

Russia frees retired US schoolteacher in goodwill gesture as Putin meets Witkoff
Russia freed Stephen Hubbard, a retired US schoolteacher in custody since 2022, from prison on Wednesday and took him to St Petersburg to fly back to the United States, after talks that Washington said were a step toward ending the war in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin made the announcement at a meeting in St Petersburg with US envoy Steve Witkoff, who later said the talks will continue toward planned technical-level discussions involving the US, Russia and Ukraine.

Macron suggests Trump, Netanyahu exploiting French riots
Is Israel to blame again? French President Emmanuel Macron hinted that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump were exploiting the riots in France for political purposes ahead of the upcoming elections. Macron added, “They are using our country for their political campaigns. And we don’t need that. We already have our own difficulties to deal with.”

Minneapolis police officer fired after alerting brother he was a shooting suspect

France forecasts lowest grain-maize yield since 1991 after record heatwaves in summer 2026
France’s 2026 grain-maize yield is forecast to fall to 6.3 tonnes per hectare (2.81 short tons per acre), its lowest level since 1991, after repeated heatwaves and persistent drought damaged crops. Agreste estimates production, including seed maize, at 7.3 million tonnes (8 million short tons), nearly half the 2025 level, as grain-maize area fell 28% and yield declined 27%.

Macron’s address was actually a renewed offer of alliance with the rioters
Emmanuel Macron addressed the nation on 18 Oct, expressing national “anger and shame” following the worst urban violence and looting in France in years. However, reading between the lines, the address wasn’t as it seems: Macron was actually offering an alliance with the rioters who aren’t French, as Macron claims, but consist of immigrants and Communists.

The Islamic Takeover of Red-State Utah is Already Underway
Utah is being Islamified, and the Mormon Church is not merely watching from the sidelines. Instead of resisting, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is actively aiding and abetting the Islamic takeover of this deeply conservative red state.

Federal Agents Knock on Doors to Crack Down on Noncitizens Voting Ahead of Midterms
DHS agents have knocked on doors in various states asking residents about immigration status, and if they’ve registered to vote or cast votes in past elections. Home visits dialed up in Sept, a few months from Election Day. On Monday, Dept of Justice announced that DHS in California arrested over 20 green card holders for allegedly illegally registering to vote or casting votes.

My novel, The Rapture Dialogues, was accepted and published under the imprint called Anomalous. It was a story about UFOs and the crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. At least the story started there with the strange goings-on that still have even the UFO experts of today wondering about exactly what took place at that time.

The government’s dealing with that long-past occurrence and the very latest incidents involving strange goings-on in the dark heavens above have emerged to dominate headlines today. And they are no longer called UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) but are now termed UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena).

My novel came out many years ago before the renaming from UFOs to UAP. So does that make me a prophet? –Or my publisher an oracle?

Well, no, but my publisher and myself did agree that UFOs were anomalous matters, in that their true nature, although unknown by even the scientists of the world, was, we believe, made known by God’s Word. And Jesus Christ, Who is the Word (John 1: 1), gave what I believe is the Foretelling of just such anomalous phenomena for the wrap-up of the Age of Grace.

The Lord, in answering His disciples’ question: what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age? –prophesied the following.

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars…” (Luke 21:25a).

Jesus was saying that there would be unmistakable signals to look for when the time for the wind-up of the Church Age arrived. Those watching, as commanded and instructed in Mark 13:37 and Luke 21:28, will know that these signs in the heavens will alert that He, Jesus, is about to return as He promised, as recorded in John 14:2-3.

Evidence mounts that we have reached the time Jesus prophesied. And it is this particular signal we will examine in this commentary.

Could unidentified anomalous phenomena — a new catch-all term for unidentified objects in the sky, oceans or space — be pushing the United States towards another “Sputnik Moment”?

That’s the belief of NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman, who compared the uptick in reported unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) sightings in recent years to the Cold War paranoia stirred up when the former Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite to circle Earth in 1957.

Isaacman made the comments in a recent interview with Blake Burman, host of NewsNation’s “The Hill” broadcast on Sept. 25, that touched upon a range of space-related issues. And one of those was probing the space agency chief about what he thinks UAP might be.

Burman made note of pilot reports and videos released of objects with flight characteristics unlike anything previously seen.

“When you watch these videos,” Burman asked Isaacman, “do you believe that anything that we’ve seen in any of this is potentially extraterrestrial? Is it military? What is it?”

Isaacman said that NASA has had “a seat at the table” since U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year called for releasing Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) and UAP files. That call is now officially known as the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE).

“My position going into every one of these: one, be open-minded. I mean, it is kind of our job to go out and try to answer the question ‘are we alone?’

In answer to the “experts, here: We are not alone. Again, here is what God’s Word says through inspiration given to the Apostle Paul.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).

The dark forces of the evil one are indeed in the high places, and I believe, are manifesting against the black backdrop of deep space.

Every Christian should be alert to all the signals the Lord and other prophets gave for the very end of the age.

It is sad that very few pastors in the pulpits, thus very few Christians in their pews, are alert to these clearly manifesting signs that Jesus is about to step onto the Clouds of Glory and make that SHOUT: “Come up here!” (Revelation 4:1).

There is no reason that the term anomalous (unknown) should be applied to the believers –Christians—when considering these strange times.

Revelation chapter 12 tells plainly that there is currently a tremendous Battle raging, not only on Planet Earth, but in the heavens. God’s Word tells us those who are battling. Bible prophecy tells us the outcome of that Battle.

In heaven: “Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night” (Revelation 12:7-10).

So the battle we face today on Earth, as given in Ephesians 6: 12 by the Apostle Paul, will rage at the very end of this age until Satan and his angels are defeated by Michael and his Angelic Force.

I believe we will likely witness more of this so-called anomalous activity as time draws near to Christ making THAT SHOUT! (This is another title of a book I’ve just completed and delivered to my publisher: THAT SHOUT!: What On Earth Just Happened?!

That’s what everyone on Earth will be asking when the Rapture happens!

To hear THAT SHOUT, here is what you must do, or if you have done so, tell others who haven’t done this so they, too, can go to be with the Lord when He Calls.

“That if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and will believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:9-10).
