UK Claims Russian Missile Fired Near Royal Air Force Fighter Jet over the Black Sea
Britain’s defense secretary revealed Thursday that a Russian fighter jet released a missile near an RAF aircraft operating in international airspace over the Black Sea last month.
Ben Wallace told the House of Commons on Thursday that an unarmed RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint – a spy plane – “interacted with” two Russian SU-27s. One of the fighter jets “released a missile in the vicinity of” the British plane beyond visual range, he said.
Orban: They Tell Us Russian Gas is Bad But Not How To Replace It
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has criticised those clamouring to scrap Russian gas, saying it’s easy to make such calls without having a plan to replace that lost energy with an affordable, reliable substitute.

U.S. NEWS, POLITICS & GOVERNMENT
Steve Bannon – former President Donald Trump’s chief White House strategist and campaign CEO – was sentenced to four months in prison on Friday after a jury convicted him on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. He must also pay $6,500 in financial penalties.
Bannon was found guilty in July, and his legal team has indicated that he intends to appeal his conviction.
Prosecutors asked Judge Carl Nichols to send Bannon to prison for six months, at the higher end of the sentencing guidelines for this case, and impose a $200,000 fine for what they argued was “his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress.” Bannon’s team asked for a probationary sentence and a delay in any possible prison time pending his appeal.
Nichols ruled that Bannon had been convicted of charges that require a mandatory minimum of one month in prison, explaining that the “law is clear” on the matter, and Bannon has showed no remorse for his actions.
The judge agreed with Bannon’s legal team that Bannon should be released and his prison time be delayed until the appeal process is resolved.
Texas AG Urges Prosecution Over “Grotesque” ‘Child-Friendly’ Drag Show Near Dallas
Following what’s probably the single most horrifying and egregious example of a so-called “child friendly drag show” that we’ve ever seen, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has called for legal prosecution against those involved.
The event took place on Saturday in Plano, Texas – a large suburb of Dallas (of all places) – and involved a drag performer simulating a sex act in front of children at what the venue dubbed an “all ages” show.
“This is grotesque, disturbing behavior. Under Texas law, local district and county attorneys are charged with taking up the mantle to protect Texas kids by prosecuting these types of totally inappropriate acts,” Paxton was quoted as saying after viewing disturbing footage of the event.
Arizona City Council Member Indicted for 2020 Ballot Harvesting Scheme: AG
Two Arizona women, including a sitting city council member, were indicted for their alleged involvement in a 2020 ballot harvesting scheme in Yuma County, state Attorney General Mark Brnovich said on Oct. 19.
A state grand jury charged Gloria Lopez Torres and Nadia Guadalupe Lizarraga-Mayorquin, both of San Luis, with conspiracy and ballot abuse on Oct. 3, the attorney general said in a statement. Under state law, ballot harvesting is considered a class 6 felony; convictions usually carry a penalty of up to two years in prison and up to a $150,000 fine.
Torres, notably, is currently a San Luis City Council member, according to local media.
They are accused of conducting a scheme to collect “early ballots from other voters” and deposit them in a ballot box during the state’s primary election in August 2020.
Torres is accused of collecting seven ballots from Lizarraga-Mayorquin, according to grand jury indictments (pdf) (pdf) that were returned earlier this month. Lizarraga-Mayorquin collected at least one ballot from a third party who wasn’t identified.
Ohio Voters to Decide If Non-US Citizens Can Vote in Local Elections
Ohio voters will be asked on Nov. 8 to decide if non-U.S. citizens can vote in state or local elections.
If passed, Issue 2 would change the Ohio Constitution. It proposes that only adult U.S. citizens who legally reside and are registered to vote in Ohio for at least 30 days can cast a ballot in future state and local elections.
The current Ohio Constitution states that “every citizen of the United States, of the age of eighteen years and has been registered to vote for thirty days is entitled to vote at all elections.”
The state constitution doesn’t say that noncitizens can’t vote.

California judge blocks sharing gun owners’ information, citing ‘massive’ privacy breach
ACalifornia law that provided names and other information about gun owners to researchers analyzing the effectiveness of gun violence restraining orders was blocked by a judge, who ruled it may violate the privacy rights of gun owners.
San Diego Superior Court Judge Katherine Bacal ordered a preliminary injunction against the state’s Assembly Bill 173 last week.
“Accordingly, plaintiffs have shown that the balance of harms weighs in favor of issuing the injunction,” she wrote in her order on Friday, noting that the law’s provisions threatened the privacy rights of gun owners.
Woman charged, accused of freeing swarm of bees on deputies
A Massachusetts woman is facing multiple assault and battery charges for allegedly releasing a swarm of bees on a group of sheriff’s deputies, some of them allergic to bee stings, as they tried to serve an eviction notice, authorities said.
Rorie S. Woods, 55, pleaded not guilty at her arraignment on Oct. 12 in Springfield District Court and was released without bail, Masslive.com, citing court records, reported on Wednesday.
Her lawyer did not immediately respond to a voicemail left by The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The Hampden County Sheriff’s Department deputies went to a home in Longmeadow on the morning of Oct. 12 and were met by protesters, according to the official department report.
Florida education board approves new parental rights rules
Florida’s State Board of Education passed several new rules Wednesday that implement the requirements set forth in Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Act that was signed into law over the summer.
That is the law opponents dubbed the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ law. A law that continues to create controversy.
One new rule makes clear that kindergarten through third-grade teachers cannot provide classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity.
Another rule requires schools to notify parents if transgender students are allowed to use the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choosing.
Both of these rules were passed by the board unanimously, but not before dozens of people voiced their opinion during public comment.
“Teachers have no right to put subliminal ideologies onto my children,” one speaker said.
“They’re not teaching children sex. They’re saying this person is a boy. They use he/him pronouns,” another speaker said.
Ohio Supreme Court Suspends Democrat Judge Over ‘Unprecedented’ Behavior
The Ohio Supreme Court has indefinitely suspended a local judge, citing “unprecedented misconduct” that includes falsifying court documents, issuing illegitimate arrest warrants, and donning inappropriate attire in court.
Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Pinkey Carr, a Democrat, was found to exhibit such misconduct that comprise more than 100 incidents over a period of about two years.
The misconduct “encompassed repeated acts of dishonesty; the blatant and systematic disregard of due process, the law, court orders, and local rules; the disrespectful treatment of court staff and litigants; and the abuse of capias warrants and the court’s contempt power,” stated the court’s per curium opinion (pdf). “That misconduct warrants an indefinite suspension from the practice of law.”
Justices agreed with the court’s three-panel Board of Professional Conduct’s assessment that Carr “ruled her courtroom in a reckless and cavalier manner, unrestrained by the law or the court’s rules, without any measure of probity or even common courtesy,” and that she “conducted business in a manner befitting a game show host rather than a judge of the Cleveland Municipal Court.”

Report: Elon Musk Plans to Lay Off 75% of Twitter’s Employees
Massive layoffs could be on the horizon for the far-left social platform Twitter in the coming months, no matter who owns the company, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post. In one presentation to potential investors in his takeover bid, Elon Musk reportedly states that he plans to lay off 75% of the company’s 7,500 workers.
According to the Post, Elon Musk has told potential investors in his bid to buy Twitter that he plans to cut the workforce by nearly 75 percent. But even if Musk does not take over the company, Twitter plans to slash nearly a quarter of employees due to a massive payroll cut.
Poll Shows 90 Percent of Voters Are Worried About Economy and Inflation Ahead of Midterms
A new poll showed that a significant number of voters rate inflation and U.S. economic decline as their top concern going into the November midterm elections.
A Politico-Morning Consult poll, published Wednesday, showed that 71 percent of voters are “very concerned” with inflation, up 5 percentage points since August. Another 42 percent said that economic issues such as taxes and jobs were their top issue when deciding who to vote for next month.
Overall, more than 90 percent of voters are worried about the U.S. economy and inflation, the poll revealed.
The consumer price index, a key metric that measures inflation, reached 8.2 percent in September—running near 40-year highs. Another metric, the producer price index, rose to 8.5 percent year-over-year.
More than 80 percent told Politico that the economy would play a significant role in deciding who to vote for. About 75 percent of Democrats and 90 percent of Republicans said it would play a major factor in their decision-making process come November.
The poll revealed that 70 percent of voters believe the United States is heading down the wrong track, continuing a trend of majority polled voters feeling that way for 38 consecutive weeks.
Home-Seller Profits Drop Across U.S. In Third Quarter As Housing Market Boom Eases
ATTOM, a leading curator of real estate data nationwide for land and property data, today released its third-quarter 2022 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that profit margins on median-priced single-family home and condo sales across the United States decreased to 54.6 percent as home prices declined for the first time in almost three years.
The drop-off in typical profit margins, from 57.6 percent in the second quarter, came as the median national home value went down 3 percent quarterly, to roughly $340,000.
“Rapidly-rising mortgage rates have not only resulted in fewer home sales, but have begun to impact home prices as well,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of market intelligence at ATTOM. “With rates the highest they’ve been in over 20 years, homebuyers face serious affordability challenges, with monthly payments in some markets up 50 percent year-over-year. It’s very likely that home prices will continue to weaken in many markets in the coming months.”
Pork Producers Say California Regulation Challenged in Supreme Court Would Impose Huge Costs
Joe Tinsman’s family got into the pork business about 10 years ago, more as an avocation than an industry.
“It started with the kids showing pigs in 4-H. We figured we could raise them for less than we could buy them,” Tinsman told The Epoch Times.
The Tinsmans, appropriately enough, live in Farmland, Indiana. They’re first-generation pork producers and are small by design, between 40 and 50 head at a time.
Like many family farmers, Tinsman works another full-time job in addition to their farm, so the specter of California’s Proposition 12 tended to be theoretical, but still unsettling.
“The cost of it would take you out,” Tinsman said. “You would need more ground, more space in buildings. There’s no way to make that happen. There would be multiple farmers in the same situation.”
The Green Tax: Electric Vehicle Owners Shocked by Battery Replacements Costing $20,000+
Canadian Electric vehicle (EV) owners have been shocked to find out that battery replacements for their cars, especially older models, tops $20,000. One EV owner shared his experience, saying: “At the dealership, he looked it up online and said you’re not going to like this,” before delivering a bill of $15,000 plus labor and taxes.
“I don’t understand why they make the battery so expensive when you have to change it,” Phyllis Lau, who owns a 2018 KIA Soul all-electric vehicle, told CTV News Toronto.

RoboCop: Oakland Police Consider Arming Robots With Shotguns
In a series of little noted Zoom meetings this fall, the city of Oakland, California, grappled with a question whose consequences could shape the future of American policing: Should cops be able to kill people with shotgun-armed robots?
The back-and-forth between the Oakland Police Department and a civilian oversight body concluded with the police relinquishing their push for official language that would have allowed them to kill humans with robots under certain circumstances. It was a concession to the civilian committee, which pushed to bar arming robots with firearms — but a concession only for the time being.
The department said it will continue to pursue lethal options. When asked whether the the Oakland Police Department will continue to advocate for language that would allow killer robots under certain emergency circumstances, Lt. Omar Daza-Quiroz, who represented the department in discussions over the authorized robot use policy, told The Intercept, “Yes, we are looking into that and doing more research at this time.”
The controversy began at the September 21 meeting of an Oakland Police Commission subcommittee, a civilian oversight council addressing what rules should govern the use of the city’s arsenal of military-grade police equipment. According to California state law, police must seek approval from a local governing body, like a city council, to determine permissible uses of military equipment or weapons like stun grenades and drones. Much of the September meeting focused on the staples of modern American policing, with the commissioners debating the permissible uses of flash-bang grenades, tear gas, and other now-standard equipment with representatives from the Oakland Police Department.
Roughly two hours into the meeting, however, the conversation moved on to the Oakland police’s stable of robots and their accessories. One such accessory is the gun-shaped “percussion actuated nonelectric disruptor,” a favorite tool of bomb squads at home and at war. The PAN disruptor affixes to a robot and directs an explosive force — typically a blank shotgun shell or pressurized water — at suspected bombs while human operators remain at a safe distance. Picture a shotgun barrel secured to an 800-pound Roomba on tank treads.
While describing the safety precautions taken while using the PAN disruptor, Daza-Quiroz told the subcommittee that the department takes special care to ensure that it is in fact a blank round loaded into the robot’s gun. This led a clearly bemused Jennifer Tu, a fellow with the American Friends Service Committee and member of the Oakland Police Commission subcommittee on militarized policing, to ask: “Can a live round physically go in, and what happens if a live round goes in?”
“Yeah, physically a live round can go in,” Daza-Quiroz answered. “Absolutely. And you’d be getting a shotgun round.”

After Uvalde: Public Schools In Texas Send Home DNA Kits For Kids
This week, Texas public schools plan to distribute DNA and fingerprint identification kits to guardians of students in kindergarten through middle school. The Child Identification Program, which became a law in 2021, requires the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to provide inkless in-home fingerprint and DNA identification cards to the guardians of children in the public school system in the state.
After DNA is gathered, the parent or legal guardian is asked to hold onto the child identification cards for law enforcement use in cases of emergency including if they go missing or are suspected of being human trafficked.
The program is entirely opt-in for parents and guardians, but experts warn of the message it sends to children, particularly in light of the Uvalde shooting on May 24, when 19 children were killed by an armed gunman and parents were asked to provide DNA samples to help identify the victims.

Regression of Humanity, How Big Pharma Is Risking Everything
Media are reporting that pregnancy complications have spiked during the COVID pandemic, but claim the cause is unknown
Most blame the virus itself. But even then, they fail to address the fact that it’s the spike protein that is the most likely culprit. The obvious reason for that is because the spike protein is also what your body produces in response to the COVID shots
Around the world, women are reporting abnormal menses and vaginal hemorrhaging, both post-COVID and after exposure to the jab or someone who got the shot. Birth rates have significantly dropped, and we’re seeing upticks in preeclampsia, miscarriages, premature births and early puberty, as well as maternal and infant deaths
Despite the clear risks of vaccinating during pregnancy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a whooping cough vaccine for newborns that is given to mothers in the third trimester. This is the first vaccine aimed at infants that is to be preemptively given to the mother during pregnancy
While U.S. media celebrated the FDA’s authorization of COVID shots for infants under the age of 5 last summer, European countries had long since stopped caring about the pandemic, and the head of public health in Denmark admitted it was a mistake to vaccinate children between the ages of 5 and 11
What Your Feet Might Say About Your Health
The average adult walks roughly 75,000 miles in their lifetime, which is equivalent to walking three times around the world. Many people experience pain and discomfort in their feet that may be alleviated with simple changes to the way they walk or their footwear
Start with purchasing the right shoes for your foot type, which may necessitate visiting a good shoe or running shoe store. Factors that are important are flexibility, stiffness, structure, insoles and the shape of the toe box
You may not be wearing the right shoes if you have sore spots on your feet, the shoes wear out quickly and are unevenly worn, you have pain in your knees, hips and back, or if you are fiddling with your shoes throughout the day
Pay attention to your feet at the end of each day, watching for signs of metabolic or heart conditions that include ulcers that don’t heal, dry flaky skin, bald toes, splinter hemorrhages or clubbing

Republican Lawmakers Criticize Biden Over Releasing 15 Million Barrels of Oil From Reserve
Republican lawmakers are criticizing President Joe Biden over his decision to release 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), arguing that his move was politically motivated and left the United States vulnerable to foreign adversaries.
“President Biden is draining the SPR to bailout Democrats ahead of the midterms, further surrendering our energy security AND national security to countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela,” Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee wrote on Twitter on Oct. 19.
Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, shared a similar sentiment.

Natural Food Storage Containers Can Help Save Money
As food costs continue to rise, many people are seeking creative solutions to stretch their dollars and reduce wasted food. Buying and cooking food in bulk helps save money, as well as time and resources. However, frugal shoppers then face the challenge of how to safely store their bounty for future meals.
And … what about leftovers? Even the best storage bags and containers, when sealed properly, lock in damaging oxygen which can cause mold, oxidation and bacteria to set in.
The right storage solutions can help extend the shelf life of everyday food and other products at home. MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) is a patented system designed to help consumers keep food safely for longer periods by using nitrogen to maintain freshness and deter spoilage. This technology has been used by food processors and packers since the 1930s and is now available to the general public. Fruits, vegetables, cheese and meats stay fresher.
“Using MAP, the bad air inside packaged products is exchanged and replaced by good air,” says MAPWARE creator Gary Growden.
“Natural Preserve is simply highly filtered air, leaving 100% safe, natural, organic, inert nitrogen,” he explains.
The MAPWARE natural storage system allows consumers to use MAP safely and effectively right at home. With MAPWARE, oxygen inside the container is reduced or eliminated, thereby lowering the chances of bacteria and oxidation setting in that can cause food to spoil.
Here’s how it works: Place food in a MAPWARE container, seal with the locking lid, and use a specialized canister of their foodgrade nitrogen to flush out the bad air, leaving food sealed similar to the way it came from the store.
The products in the MAPWARE line include specialized canisters of nitrogen and the MAPWARE series of bowls with lids, available in a range of sizes. In addition, the Zip and Zap bags are MAP-compliant zipper bags that can fit easily in the freezer, fridge or pantry and are perfect for meats, cookies, breads, fruits and vegetables, snacks and any other cooked or uncooked foods. Other MAPWARE products include specialized clips and caps that can be attached to bags of store-bought products, such as bread and buns.
The MAPWARE products help prevent food waste and save money, so they benefit your wallet as well as the environment.

95 Percent of Corpses Had Received COVID Vaccination Within 2 Weeks of Death: Funeral Director
A funeral director from New Zealand says that 95 percent of the corpses he has been seeing had received a COVID-19 vaccine within two weeks of their passing away.
“Ninety-five percent of the people who have passed away through the work that I’ve done have been vaccinated within two weeks,” Brenton Faithfull said.
Faithfull has been working as a funeral director for the last 41 years and has been running his own mortuary business for the last 26 years. He recently spoke out about the apparent relationship between the COVID-19 vaccines and the deaths he has been observing.
“It’s very obvious, they die within two weeks of receiving the vaccination, a lot of them … almost appear to have died from anaphylaxis, almost a reaction straight away to the booster.”
Anaphylaxis is an acute reaction of the body to an antigen, such as that of a bee sting, or an injection.
“They die the same day, the following day after receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. This isn’t a one-off case, this is the majority of cases that have come through our facility,” Faithfull said in an interview.
CDC Advisers Recommend Adding COVID-19 Vaccines to Childhood Immunization Schedule
Advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Oct. 20 recommended adding COVID-19 vaccines to the child and adolescent immunization schedules, despite the vaccines still being under emergency authorization for some children.
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) cast the vote during a meeting on updating the schedules for youth and adults.
All members voted to add the Moderna, Pfizer, and Novavax vaccines to the 2023 schedules, asserting that the vaccines, despite waning effectiveness, can still prevent severe disease.
“We view this as COVID is here to stay,” said Dr. Matthew Daley, one of the advisers. “When I think about the routine immunization schedule as a pediatrician, I think of it as an opportunity to prevent serious disease and death. And if something is added to the schedule, it’s because I feel like the benefits continue to strongly outweigh the risks.”
The Pfizer and Moderna bivalent boosters will also be added if ACIP’s advice is taken.
3 More COVID-19 Vaccine Injuries Approved for Compensation by US Authorities
Three additional COVID-19 vaccine injuries have met the bar for compensation, U.S. authorities announced Oct. 20.
Six claims lodged with the Countermeasures Injury Compensation Program (CICP) have now been determined to be eligible for compensation, a Health Resources and Services Administration official told a meeting on vaccines. All the claims relate to COVID-19 vaccines.
One is the result of severe allergic shock. The five others are the result of myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation.
Of the six vaccine-injured people, only one has been partially compensated. Officials are reviewing “eligible expenses,” the official said.
Due to the invocation of an emergency over the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 vaccine injury claims must be made to the CICP, rather than a different program called the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP).
Certain serious conditions and deaths are covered by CICP, but claims must be judged by a secret panel as having proven a link between the condition or death and the vaccine.
Some COVID-19 therapies are also covered by the program.
Forty-eight claims have been denied because they did not meet the standard proof of causation bar and/or the injury sustained is not covered, the administration official said.
As of Oct. 1, some 10,300 claims have been lodged. About 70 percent allege injuries from COVID-19 vaccines.
6 Main Factors Increase Risk of COVID-19 Vaccine Injury
Why do some people report adverse events after COVID-19 vaccinations while some do not? This question is central to the controversy of COVID-19 vaccine adverse events.
Doctors have identified several factors that contribute to an increased risk of spike protein-induced disease, specifically, post COVID-19 vaccine injury.
Dr. Paul Marik—Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance(FLCCC) co-founder—said at an FLCCC conference on Oct. 15 that there are many overlaps in the symptoms and disease mechanisms of long COVID and injury from the COVID-19 vaccines.
Both diseases are systemic, affecting multiple organs, tissues, and are both driven by a high load of spike protein. These spike proteins trigger inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and autoimmunity.
However, not everyone will experience these symptoms.
Whether a person will suffer from spike protein injuries is dependent on factors that are both unchangeable and temporal.

GOP candidate quits after cop catches him masturbating outside preschool
A Republican running for an Arizona college district’s governing board suspended his campaign Tuesday, two weeks after he was arrested for allegedly masturbating outside a preschool at one of the colleges he was hoping to represent.
Police found candidate Randy Kaufman on Oct. 4 parked outside the child center at Rio Salado College with his pants down to his mid-thigh and “manipulating his genitals in a masturbatory manner,” according to a police report.
Kaufman was in full view of the campus’s Wirtzie’s Preschool and Child Care Center, where several preschool-age children were playing outside, the report said.
“Seriously?” the officer said upon finding the Republican playing with himself.
“I’m sorry,” Kaufman allegedly told the officer. “I f–ked up. I’m really stressed.”
Kaufman said he was out buying rebar nearby but was so stressed out that he pulled into the lot to relieve himself without realizing what the lot was for.
