tl;dr, the US and Israel cornered Syria into reconciling with Russia, likely part of a larger deal we don't have information on currently. Likely tied to reconstruction and the same old real estate mafia scams.

After the West failed to stop Israel from bombing all of Syria's armaments and withheld support early on for the new government, Syria is now normalizing relations with Russia in an effort facilitate the handing over of Assad and revive preexisting trade & military agreements.

The U.S. State Department says it’s revoking the visas of six foreign nationals over social media comments they made about the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk.

The thread then went on to list examples of posts by the foreigners, identifying them as citizens of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay and South Africa.

On X, the State Department posted, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Oct. 15, 2025
PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION
STATEMENT
Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution.
The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

SPECIAL REPORT 🚨 The multimillionaire controls a network of news channels, publications and think tanks that the left could only dream of. If Reform or the Tories win the next election, he will become the country’s most influential non-politician

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

To be more specific, media and politicians aren't aware of the scale of continuing reductions

The public mostly don't know it fell at all. Both boats + political/broadcast skew to mainly covering boats contributes significantly to net migration falling by half to two-thirds without being noticed

They’re frustration for sure, but at least introduce some transparency. Though many employ ‘dark patterns’ to trick you into accepting ‘all cookies’.

I guess you use an ad/cookie/tracking blocker. If not, 1Blocker is good.

If you’re on a desktop/laptop (and understand HTML) the developer panel can be a very handy way to remove annoyances or make a site functional again by deleting elements and scripts; though sites are wising up to this.

See an advert for something you like, decide NOT to buy it because you don't really need it & all you will see for days is adverts for that same thing, over & over in a process of attrition designed to wear you down; make you change your decision. It's sick!

Ahh that old chestnut, we are better together but Wales is a drain on England. We could always charge England for all the water and electricity they currently get free from us. And maybe get the tax back from all the tax we pay Westminster

It’s essential that the European Parliament carries out an investigation in to UKIP, Brexit Party and Reform UK and their connection to Russia.

Investigation now!

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.
