In Today’s News: Gulf Oil Exports ‘Fully Recover to 2025 Levels’
Crude oil flows from the Middle East are returning toward pre-war levels despite continued risks to shipping, according to separate estimates from JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. “The Middle East’s oil export arteries are flowing again,” JPMorgan analysts including Natasha Kaneva said in a Sept. 29 note. That’s “a remarkable recovery for a region still at war,” although it’s been uneven, they said. It sounds as if nearly every cylinder was firing and the Saudi repairs to drone-damaged pipelines were completed much more expeditiously than anticipated.

‘UFO mothership’ spotted by fans on SpaceX livestream
Eagle-eyed stargazers spotted a mysterious object that looked like a ‘mothership’ during the SpaceX livestream. The SpaceX Starship blasted off into orbit for the first time on Monday (28 September) and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites. But things didn’t run entirely smoothly, after an engine issue meant that the planned 10-hour trip into space was cut down to just three before it splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. Just under eight minutes into the stream, those looking closely saw a small slightly curved streak of light tucked away in the back of the shot. Screenshots of the object were quickly shared online with one X user writing: “They just livestreamed what looks like a UFO mothership trailing Starship over Texas.”

Could America actually ban Muslim immigration? Will Chamberlain says the law may allow it
Could immigrants be screened for ideology and religious beliefs? What about social-media histories, student visas, H-1B workers, foreign imams and family sponsorship? Could Islam itself ever be treated legally as a political ideology rather than solely a religion? It sounds like a constitutional impossibility. Attorney Will Chamberlain says it may not be.

‘Existential threat’: 4 organizations unite in plan to ‘address the Islamification’ of America

That’s what multiple groups fear is starting to happen in America, and a coalition of organizations now has been assembled to fight that.

“Seek Higher Ground Now”: A Near Dam Failure In New Mexico Was Just The Warm-Up For A Record El Niño

Leaked Anthropic IPO Prospectus Shows $42BN Net Loss, $518BN In Unfunded Spending Commitments, And $20BN In Cash
According to a copy of the IPO prospectus leaked by Reuters, Anthropic is making a massive bet that AI will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and ​the internet. But, as Reuters correctly puts it, “the cost to get there will be staggering” – the company reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025. And while revenue grew 12-fold in 2025 to nearly $4.6 billion, the company lost more than $8 billion on an operating basis, with compute spend soaring to $7.33 billion, accounting for 58% of its $12.65 billion in total operating expenses. In other words, Anthropic lost almost $2 for every dollar it made in sales, and that trend is accelerating. It gets worse: not only is the company’s revenue fleeting, it is controlled by just two customers on the margin.

‘My grandmother would be rolling over in her grave’: Dershowitz unloads on today’s Democrats

Francesca Albanese: The United Nations’ Axis Sally
During the Second World War, a handful of Americans and one Briton, William Joyce, better known as Lord Haw-Haw, went to work for the Nazis and the Japanese. Among them was Mildred Gillars, the broadcaster American troops called Axis Sally.

A jury convicted her of treason in 1949, and she served twelve years in federal prison. Francesca Albanese is … Hamas’s de facto spokesperson at the United Nations. Call her Hamas Franny, the UN’s answer to Axis Sally.
