'Deal Or Drive Them Into Hell': Trump Issues Stark Iran Ultimatum In UN Speech

Trump on Iran, Oil & Midterm Elections

Standing before the United Nations General Assembly, President Trump told the world: "While others have talked, I have acted. While others have spoken of peace, I have made peace."The focus quickly turned to the Islamic Republic of Iran, which Trump charged as responsible for spreading "death and carnage and chaos." He claimed: "They were the bully of the Middle East, but they are the bully no more."

In listing out what have become the admin's typical talking points, Trump issued an even bigger than before number of Iranian citizens he claims were recently killed by their own government, stating without evidence that over 72,000 Iranian citizens had been slaughtered. This number just keeps on and keeps on growing.

Addressing the war itself, Trump hailed that Iran's navy ships now lie "at the bottom of the sea," and their economy is completely gone, and with many capabilities like radar utterly non-existent. Yet, the nuclear threat is still front and center. Reaffirming his red line to "never allow a nuclear weapon," Trump turned to boasting of how his Operation Epic Fury "obliterated their nuclear program beneath mountains of rubble." But again he still holds Iran out as an atomic threat.

One of the more interesting lines came when Trump said Tehran had built a missile capable of hitting Europe, and that the Iranians openly boasted of this. He called on Europeans (who have so far rejected the urging to join a Hormuz military mission) to take note of this. "I have a big decision to make… will a deal be made with Iran, or do I annihilate the Islamic Republic and 'do it quickly'? Do I drive them into hell with no chance of survival?"

He talked about potentially annihilating them, and this key line:

“I believe we’ll make a deal right after the election because it doesn’t make sense for them not to,” Trump said. “They’re waiting to see how I do in the midterm election.”

Trump in this Iran section of the speech made some provocative remarks on the US midterm elections. He indirectly invoked the dilemma of high oil prices and how the GOP might do. "I give no credence to the election; I am not running… it doesn't even enter my mind." Instead, a global ultimatum was issued: a call on all nations to join the United States in enforcing the total isolation of Iran, driven by the absolute promise that "It's gonna be done, it's gonna be done fast" - in reference to this decision of achieving either peace or Iran's final destruction.

The address then got broader, outlining Trump's foreign policy 'successes' driven by leverage, special relationships, and the persistent threat of tariffs. Pointing to Venezuela, his narrative emphasized how combining Venezuelan and US resources - accounting for "60% of the world's oil" - would help drive down energy prices worldwide.

He openly boasted after the US military invasion of Venezuela and overthrow of Maduro, "To the victor belong the spoils."

Trump on Ending Ukraine War, Greenland Security Deal, & AI

On Ukraine War:

Trump claimed ending the war between Russia and Ukraine will happen "faster than people understand." He said Washington is working closely with both leaders, asserting both countries are exhausted by the conflict.

On Greenland:

"No US. adversary will ever be permitted to establish a military presence in Greenland anymore or make sensitive investments there without our express written approval. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large military presence in the appropriate locations. We’ll be building two very major military bases."

On AI:

Calling it “super intelligence”, Trump said the US rejects a “globalist scheme” to control AI.

“The use of the word artificial makes intelligence sound fake, and it is not fake,” Trump explained. “It’s actually amazing.” And then: “All of US documents will be changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’, instead of ‘artificial’,” he said. “Welcome to the new world of super intelligence slash SI.”

Trump said the US would encourage rather than rein in the technology. “The United States leads the world in super intelligence, and we’ll continue to do so safely and responsibly,” he said. “Americans have never been a nation that retreats from a frontier or shrinks from a challenge, no matter how great or how daunting that challenge may be,” he added.

Libya's Largest Oilfield Hit By New Armed Group Blockade

Crude oil production at Libya’s largest oilfield, Sharara, has slumped over the past day after an armed military group closed a valve on the pipeline that carries crude oil from the field to the Zawiya port for exports, in yet another global supply scare amid ongoing disruptions in the Middle East.

An armed group has closed Valve n.7 on the pipeline, Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said, adding that the closure caused a pressure buildup within the crude oil pipeline, leading to a significant reduction in production at the Sharara field.

The field is operated by Akakus Oil Operations, and its production is being shipped through the pipeline to the Zawiya port for exports.

The Libyan state oil firm warned that “the continued closure of Valve No. 7 will inevitably halt production, transportation, and export operations at the Sharara field.”

If the shutdown continues, NOC said it may be compelled to declare force majeure on Sharara output and exports.

“This would directly harm the national economy by reducing state revenues, especially given rising global oil prices, and would expose the oil transport system and its facilities to technical and operational risks,” NOC said.

The Sharara oilfield is estimated to have produced about 340,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil before the incident.

Following the closure of the valve and the forced reduction of production, crude output at Sharara has now slumped to about 120,000 bpd, according to various estimates.

Libya’s fresh supply scare comes amid squeezed global oil supply as shipments through the Strait of Hormuz remain uneven and uncertain, and the Yanbu exports out of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast are still offline, following the drone attack on the East-West pipeline on September 10.

Oil prices rose in Asian trade on Tuesday, following two days of declines, as the market weighs diplomacy hopes against supply-side risks.

All 10 ActBlue Witnesses Take The Fifth As GOP Says Probe Is "Far From Over"

All ten ActBlue employees and board members deposed by House investigators have invoked the Fifth Amendment rather than answer questions about the Democratic Party's dominant fundraising platform. Five of the ten are board members, all deposed in the past five weeks, and the three committees running the probe say they are not done. Their third report, released last week, alleged ActBlue accepted a substantial volume of foreign and fraudulent donations with minimal scrutiny.

The investigation's third report, released last week, alleged ActBlue accepted a substantial volume of foreign and fraudulent donations with minimal scrutiny.

It builds on the first report, released in April 2025, which found that ActBlue skipped standard verification steps such as CVV checks, identified at least 22 significant fraud campaigns, and documented 237 prepaid-card donations from foreign IP addresses in a single month before the 2024 election.

Investigators found that skipping those checks opened the door to smurfing, the practice of dressing up one illegal mega-donation as a parade of small contributions filed under real people's names. ActBlue's much-touted "passport verification" process appears to have checked nothing against any government database. Fraud analysts inside the company faced pressure to wave through foreign-flagged donations, in one case clearing a donor on the strength of a LinkedIn profile.

House Oversight, House Administration, and House Judiciary are still working the case now, and none of them show signs of backing off. "Whether it's allowing fraudsters to steal taxpayer dollars or accepting illegal foreign donations through ActBlue, Democrats have proven themselves to be the party of fraud," Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer told Fox News Digital. "Our investigation into ActBlue is far from over. We expect more documents and testimony in the weeks ahead."

Republicans have complained about ActBlue's verification standards for years, and the company insists it has tightened those safeguards since the investigation began. That claim falls apart against the committees' own findings. The report says ActBlue took "a more lenient approach" to fraud prevention in 2024, after Steil first questioned its practices in October 2023, and the internal records released last week show employees approving donations despite unresolved red flags about the money's origins.

ActBlue still denies wrongdoing and has given no indication it plans to return any flagged contribution.

"ActBlue's own admissions raise serious questions about its fraud prevention practices, including a so-called passport verification process that did not actually verify or check entries against any government database," Committee on House Administration Chairman Rep. Bryan Steil told Fox News Digital on Friday. "All options are on the table to ensure we get to the bottom of what is going on at ActBlue."

A spokesperson for Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan confirmed to Fox News Digital that the panel "will continue aggressive oversight of ActBlue, including additional depositions."

Texas Governor Orders Halt To New Data Centers Weeks After Issuing Moratorium

One month after Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered a pause on Texas data center approvals pending an audit, overnight the governor doubled down and ordered the state’s environmental watchdog to withhold permits for new data centers until an audit of risks to the power grid is complete.

No authorizations can be given until the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, or Ercot, completes its review, Abbott said in a statement on Monday.

In his statement, Abbott said that data center projects must prove they can cover all electrical infrastructure costs, use no water needed by local communities, and result in lower bills for households. The governor also said he would work with state legislators to eliminate any financial incentives for the hubs.

The governor is doubling down on an effective moratorium on new AI hubs amid concern that the vast sites are compromising the state grid and water resources. The proliferation of data centers is set to be a key issue in midterm elections in November, with President Donald Trump’s enthusiasm for expansion coming up against mounting public concern, mostly due to soaring power bills.

The permitting halt comes amid growing opposition to data centers across the US. Some 45 projects, worth $68 billion, were blocked or delayed by local pushback between April and June, according to research group Data Center Watch. Trump, meanwhile, has sought to drive the industry forward, warning that a slowdown could offer China an advantage in the AI race.

Texas, the biggest US energy powerhouse, has until now been at the forefront of the AI boom, but it has also struggled to connect data centers to the grid. As we reported at the time, Abbott last month ordered Ercot, along with the Public Utility Commission of Texas, to audit all data centers in the grid queue before issuing further approvals. Regulators subsequently set a mid-December deadline for project reviews.

Army Flight Surgeon Drops Bombshell in Federal Court — 29 Troop Deaths After the COVID Shot, 55,000 Adverse-Event Reports, and 2,544 Death Files Now Under Review

Army Lt. Col. Theresa Long, a retired Army flight surgeon now serving as senior medical military adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and reporting to War Secretary Pete Hegseth, filed a sworn declaration in Adirim v. U.S. Central Intelligence Agency et al., in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Long told the court she has firsthand knowledge of more than 29 service-member deaths after COVID-19 vaccination and that she has been tasked with examining roughly 55,000 military-linked adverse-event reports, including 2,544 death reports in the federal Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“I have first hand knowledge of over 29 deaths of servicemembers after vaccination with the COVID-19 vaccines. I am currently tasked with investigating the 55,000 vaccine adverse event reports filed on individuals identified as members of the U.S. Armed Forces, this includes 2544 deaths.

“As the first aviation brigade surgeon I had one servicemember die of rapid onset and progression of esophageal cancer after COVID vaccination and one in which a student pilot who had never been COVID positive, who experienced sudden cardiac death at the controls of a helicopter during a training flight.

“An independent cardiologist evaluated all imaging, labs and history on the student pilot and determined that myocardial injury secondary to the COVID-19 vaccines was the most likely cause.

The declaration reportedly cites troubling increases in several medical conditions recorded in the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database, including:

A 151 percent increase in myocarditis and pericarditis

A 43.6 percent increase in pulmonary embolisms

A 34.9 percent increase in ovarian dysfunction

A 22.9 percent increase in hypertension

An 18.3 percent increase in cancers of the digestive organs

Romanian Regime Arrests Presidential Election Winner — Raid Drags Georgescu to Jail in Front of His Son After Annulled Election

https://twitter.com/i/status/2101981009839575270

Officers hit five addresses that morning in Bucharest, Mogoșoaia, Ciolpani and Buftea.

They filmed themselves storming the property and claimed they found €5,000. Georgescu was then hauled to DIICOT headquarters, then marched out in handcuffs that evening. He spent the night in Bucharest’s central jail.

Prosecutors now demand 30 days of preventive lock-up. The regime accuses him of running an organized crime group and committing fraud with particularly serious consequences. The story they suddenly revived claims he and two others posed as foreign money men in 2021.

They supposedly promised businessman Răzvan Leu fat Swiss loans in return for cash guarantees. Leu handed over more than €1.1 million. The loans never came. Sources name Ionel Rusen and Italian Massimiliano Arena as the other two.

Prosecutors claim that some of the cash later helped fund Georgescu’s 2024 campaign. The complaint has gathered dust since early 2024. The globalist machine pulled it out this week, five years after the alleged events, because they needed a fresh club.

This is Georgescu’s third live file. One charges him with helping plot against the constitutional order alongside Horațiu Potra and twenty others.That case opened its first hearing on 9 September. Georgescu stayed away.

The next date is 28 September. A second file slaps him with legionary propaganda.Georgescu crushed the first round of the 2024 presidential election on a hard anti-globalist platform. The Constitutional Court then cancelled the result after intelligence services peddled claims of a Russian online campaign.

They never showed the public any evidence that settled the argument. Ordinary Romanians still call it a stitch-up. The Dan-Bolojan government sits on that stolen vote and therefore holds little to no democratic legitimacy.

AUR leader George Simion hit back within hours of the raid. “Any of us could be next. Stop the abuses! Romania is a dictatorship!!!!” The raid landed on Simion’s 40th birthday. Nicușor Dan was posing in New York the same day while his thugs sent masked gunmen after the man who actually won an election.

THEM

Let Them Eat Chicken: Rollins Tells Americans To Find Protein Alternatives As Beef Prices Soar

Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins is telling Americans to find protein alternatives as beef prices soar.

Rollins, head of President Donald Trump’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), appeared on The Benny Show Monday, where host Benny Johnson asked her about the steep beef prices Americans are seeing at the grocery store and what the Trump administration is doing about it.

“I know that Trump called you about the price of a Big Mac,” Johnson said, “as well as about the price of American beef.”

Johnson continued, saying he believed Trump was “very concerned” about the issue and appreciated the president’s “sensitivity,” before pressing Rollins on what the administration planned to do about the cost of beef.

“What are we going to do about American beef? Nobody likes it. Nobody likes these expensive steaks that cost $20 a pound. So, like gas prices and steak prices, no good,” Johnson said.

Rollins pushed back on Johnson’s characterization of her conversation with Trump, saying the call was not about beef prices.

“Well, it’s interesting. For the first time in, I think, six months, that’s not what he called me about,” Rollins said.

Rollins said Trump had called her about an issue involving another country and efforts to get “more fertilizer in,” while acknowledging that the two do discuss beef prices.

Returning to Johnson’s question, Rollins pointed to several factors affecting the price of beef. First, she said, “Beef is lower by 5 percent, so we are trending in the right direction.”

THEY'RE DRILLING THE ARK: First Ever Permitted Cores Go Into Durupinar

Official Turkish Permits Result in the First Core Samples Taken From the Boat-Shaped Formation at Durupinar

Core samples are now going into Durupınar, the boat-shaped formation near Mount Ararat that has long stood at the center of claims that Noah’s Ark rests in eastern Turkey.

Noah’s Ark Scans said Sunday that its Turkish-approved 2026 expedition has begun what it describes as the first permitted core-sampling campaign at the site. The group says Prof. Dr. Cenker Atila of Sivas Cumhuriyet University leads the project with Noah’s Ark Scans.

Türkiye Today reported that the 2026 project received approval from Sivas Cumhuriyet University and permission from two Turkish ministries. Its work includes GPS mapping, ground-penetrating radar, soil analysis, and dry drilling.

The new cores will cut directly through the formation’s layers. The group says the program uses dry sonic drilling to recover continuous samples, unlike older attempts. Noah’s Ark Scans acknowledges that researchers attempted core holes there in 1987 and 1988, but says that effort produced no usable data.

That makes the samples the center of the 2026 investigation. The team plans laboratory analysis alongside radar, electrical-resistivity, and terrain-mapping data.

For decades, the argument rested on the formation’s striking outline and remote scans. Now the Turkish-approved expedition is taking physical cores from inside it.

Israeli Troops Destroy Former Syrian Military Sites on Mount Hermon

Artillery strikes target Yarmouk River Basin

In December of 2024, immediately following the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Israel invaded southwest Syria, and occupied a substantial swathe of land including the UNDOF demilitarized zone and Mount Hermon. Throughout negotiations and persistent further Israeli incursions, Israeli officials have insisted they don’t intend to ever return control over Mount Hermon, despite the fairly significant factor that it’s legally part of Syria.

Over the weekend, Israeli forces in the Mount Hermon area spent their time attacking and destroying former Assad-era military sites. Israeli officials have yet to comment on exactly why they chose now to strike the long-abandoned sites in territory they already militarily occupy.

The incident comes a little over a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the mountain. Netanyahu bragged Israel had absolute control over everything from Mount Hermon to the Yarmouk River.

Speaking of the Yarmouk River Basin, Israeli forces fired artillery shells against the villages of Jamlah and Abdin in that basin, in Daraa Governorate. Those villages, particularly Jamlah, have come under regular fire from Israeli forces in recent weeks.

Israeli ground troops regularly cross into Daraa and Quneitra Governorate to conduct military operations. Those operations tend to involve troops raiding villages, searching homes, and occasionally establishing temporary military checkpoints.

Multiple cross border operations are reported any given day, and while most of the operations don’t involve casualties, it’s increasingly common for Israel to detain locals, taking them back to Israeli occupied territories, where they’re held incommunicado without charges, sometimes for over a year.

Qatar says its aid did not fund Hamas, and if it did, ‘Israel is responsible’

Statement responds to New Yorker story saying Doha’s payments to Gaza ‘helped buy’ terror group’s pre-Oct. 7 arms buildup; Qatar: Money was for civilians and was overseen by Israel

“The October 7th attacks revealed what Qatar’s money had helped buy,” the article said. Describing the onslaught, it continued, “Hamas forces assembled in a vast system of tunnels outfitted with ventilation systems, surveillance cameras, and communications networks; they emerged wearing body cameras and carrying antitank missiles.”

In its statement, Qatar’s International Media Office insisted the allegations in the New Yorker story were “based on falsified and fabricated information.” It claimed money from Qatar was directed to Palestinian civilians in Gaza, “coordinated with the Israeli authorities and international partners.”

The statement added, “Under previous aid mechanisms, all financial assistance, as well as goods such as food, medicine and fuel, passed through Israel before entering Gaza. Nothing was delivered without Israeli involvement at every stage of the process.”

Netanyahu under fire after report he was repeatedly warned Qatar was funding Hamas military wing

Yedioth Ahronoth says Israeli agencies and Egypt all told PM the Qatari funding he backed was building terror group’s war machine; Israeli intel also uncovered separate covert money channel to terror group

Netanyahu’s office rejected the investigation as “a collection of recycled lies that have already been disproven in the past,” maintaining that Israel’s security chiefs had supported the Qatari grant because it was intended for humanitarian purposes and was expected to help maintain calm in Gaza.

Unprecedented success treating neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s using the antiparasitic drug IVERMECTIN….

The accidental discovery by Dr. William Makis is producing results that challenge conventional expectations…In the case of Parkinson’s, ivermectin at high doses (60-72 mg) is facilitating remarkable recoveries. Patients on maximum standard treatments, who previously could barely move, are now experiencing drastic improvements in movement and symptoms. One of these patients, after a few weeks of treatment, returned to playing golf, an activity he had lost for years.

The results in Alzheimer’s are even more profound. Family members, following his ivermectin protocol at low doses (12-24 mg for a few days), are witnessing what can only be described as medical miracles.

Loved ones who hadn’t recognized their family members for years are suddenly reconnecting. Memories are flowing again; cognitive abilities are being restored. In one extraordinary case, a patient was discharged from hospice after a drastic improvement in their condition.

The stories are heart-wrenching: “My grandmother has come back.” Families are reclaiming precious time with loved ones they felt they had lost forever. All thanks to a few pills of a medication with a well-established safety profile.

The preclinical research supporting ivermectin and Alzheimer’s appears to have been scrubbed from major search engines, a silent testament to the battle surrounding this repurposed drug.

The potential of a safe, accessible, and effective treatment for these neurodegenerative diseases is too significant to ignore…
