First Russian Diesel Tanker Heads To New York Under Trump-Putin Deal Carrying 40,000 Tonnes
A Malta-flagged tanker loaded with 40,000 metric tons of ultra-low sulphur diesel has set sail from Russia’s Baltic port of Primorsk and is heading for New York, expected to arrive around November 7. Ship-tracking data and Kremlin statements confirm this is the first shipment under the recent agreement between President Trump and President Putin, which resumes Russian diesel exports to the US and global markets after years of restrictions. Trump announced the deal earlier this month as part of efforts to ease high diesel prices, with initial volumes of 300,000 tons promised and more to follow. The cargo marks the first US import of Russian petroleum products since the 2022 ban. Additional shipments are expected as commercial contracts are finalized. #USA #Russia

The World's Most Powerful Army Was Humbled by Men in Rubber Sandals Who Grew Rice.

In 1965, America sent its combat troops into Vietnam with jets, napalm, helicopters, and the most advanced military on Earth.

Against them stood farmers, villagers, and guerrilla fighters who knew every paddy, tunnel, and jungle trail.

Eight years later, in January 1973, the U.S. signed the Paris Peace Accords and withdrew. More than 58,000 Americans were dead. Two years later, Saigon fell.

The lesson is uncomfortable: firepower is not the same as victory. A people defending their homeland can outlast an empire.

But the cost was staggering, with estimates of over a million Vietnamese lives lost.

So can a superior army ever truly win against a people who are determined to protect their land? #USA #Vietnam

Texas Man Charged Migrants $200 Each for a Ride to Apply for Asylum and Drove Them Straight to ICE Detention.

Authorities say a Texas man was arrested after charging illegal migrants $200 apiece while telling them he would take them to places where they could apply for asylum. Instead, he drove them to ICE detention centers.

Officials claim he presented himself as someone offering help and then handed the migrants over to federal immigration authorities. #USA

🚨 A GEORGIA WOMAN WENT TO WITHDRAW MONEY FROM AN ATM… AND THE MACHINE SUDDENLY OPENED, REVEALING CASH INSIDE! 😳💵

What started as a routine trip to the bank turned into an experience Wanda Cooper says she will never forget.

Cooper was withdrawing money from a standalone Bank of America ATM in Villa Rica, Georgia, when something completely unexpected happened. After the machine dispensed her cash, its door suddenly swung open, exposing the machinery and money inside! 😨

But things got even more alarming when the door reportedly struck her car and briefly prevented her from moving away.

Realizing that the ATM was open and its contents could potentially be accessed, Cooper recorded what had happened and warned others not to touch the machine.

She then tried contacting Bank of America but says she couldn't reach anyone. So, she did something many people wouldn't expect in this situation: SHE CALLED 911. 🚔

The emergency dispatcher reportedly sounded surprised when Cooper explained that the ATM had opened.

And here's the part that makes this story stand out: Cooper said she wasn't trying to take anything. She wanted to make sure nobody else accessed the exposed cash.

Her actions earned praise from another bank customer, who pointed out that many people might have been tempted to take the money.

The experience left Cooper so shaken that she said she had to go to the emergency room because of the anxiety she experienced.

🏦 WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?

Bank of America later confirmed that the ATM had been serviced and was functioning properly. The bank also thanked Cooper for alerting them to the problem.

The exact reason the ATM door opened was not established in the report.

💭 HONESTLY, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE?

Imagine withdrawing $100 from an ATM, only for the machine to suddenly open and expose the cash and machinery inside. Would you immediately call 911 like Cooper did, contact the bank, or simply walk away?

Trump Calls Canadians Nasty While Calling Putin A Friend
In a recent exchange, President Trump said the United States wants peaceful and positive relations with Russia and declared that Putin is his friend. When a reporter noted that Russia is not a traditional American ally and pointed out Canada’s decades of standing alongside the United States, Trump replied that Canadians are nasty people. Pressed further on whether that means Russians are good people while Canadians are nasty, he answered yes and moved on.
This fits a pattern of Trump repeatedly describing Canada and its leadership as nasty while pursuing warmer ties with Moscow. He has praised personal relations with Putin, defended him on past issues, and recently advanced energy deals involving Russia. At the same time, longstanding North American partnerships face sharp public criticism from the White House.
The contrast has fueled strong reactions among Canadians and observers of U.S. foreign policy, highlighting tensions with a close neighbor alongside outreach to Russia. #Trump #USA #Canada

President Donald Trump is once again taking a tough stance toward Canada, saying negotiations with Ottawa have been difficult and that the United States is not satisfied with the current situation.
Trump said Canada would like to make a deal, but Washington remains unhappy with the terms and approach being offered.
The language is drawing attention because Trump’s negotiating style often sounds less like a traditional diplomatic discussion and more like a high-pressure ultimatum — creating the impression that the other side has very little time to respond.
For Canada, the message is clear: reaching an agreement with the Trump administration may require major concessions, patience and careful negotiation.
The latest comments are likely to keep pressure on Canadian leaders as both countries navigate trade, tariffs and their broader economic relationship.
🇺🇸 Trump is signaling that he wants results — and he wants them on his terms. #Trump #USA #Canada

Zambia will sign a $1.5 billion, five-year health funding agreement with the United States after resolving disputes over data sharing.

The new pact targets HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, and boosts Zambia’s disease outbreak preparedness.

Zambia paused negotiations earlier this year over U.S. demands for broad access to health data and concerns of possible links to Zambia’s mineral resources.

The final deal limits U.S. data access strictly to program monitoring and removes a clause about sharing patient medical specimens. #Zambia #USA

New York City has been named the wealthiest city in the world for the fourth year in a row.

According to Henley & Partners' 2025 World's Wealthiest Cities Report, New York is home to around:

384,500 millionaires

818 centi-millionaires

66 billionaires

About $3 trillion in private wealth

That's roughly one millionaire for every 22 residents.

New York ranks ahead of the San Francisco Bay Area, Tokyo, Singapore, and London.

Its millionaire population has also grown by 45% in just 10 years.

But there's another side to those numbers.

The same city has a median rent of around $5,000 a month, a major shortage of affordable housing, and roughly 1 in 4 to 7 residents living in poverty.

So New York holds two very different records at the same time.

It's the wealthiest city in the world — and one of the hardest places for ordinary people to afford.

Just In:🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷

More than 2,000 U.S. Marines are currently heading to the Middle East as part of U.S. military buildup for potential resumption of military operations against Iran.

These 2,000 Marines are embarking on a new mission which is expected to take them seven months.

According to Al Jazeera Arabic, citing sources close to U.S. officials, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and two accompanying warships have reportedly departed San Diego for the Middle East, carrying the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU).

The deployment reportedly includes approximately 2,200 Marines and an additional 2,000 sailors across three amphibious ships.

An unnamed U.S. defense official was also quoted as saying that Washington expects to have three aircraft carriers and two amphibious groups positioned around Iran by November.

According to the report, the deployment is aimed to support efforts to enforce a naval blockade and protect commercial shipping routes, including the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.

What’s your view on this? Do you think the U.S. military buildup suggests that Washington may be preparing for a possible resumption of military operations against Iran?

How long do you think Iran could withstand the pressure from the United States, given that Iranian officials have ruled out any possibility of surrendering to Washington? #USA

🇺🇸 US Court Blocks $100,000 H-1B Visa Fee

A second US federal judge has blocked the $100,000 (about Ksh13 million) fee imposed on new H-1B visa petitions filed by American employers seeking to hire foreign professionals in specialised fields.

The ruling could provide relief for Kenyans and other foreign professionals seeking employment opportunities in the United States through the H-1B programme, amid concerns that the high fee could discourage employers from sponsoring international workers.

According to Reuters, the court found that US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the State Department had not followed the required rule-making procedures before introducing the fee.

⚖️ The ruling adds another legal challenge to the controversial H-1B fee as the US immigration policy remains subject to ongoing court proceedings. #USA

Trump said that while Washington can get along with countries such as China, relations with Canada have been particularly challenging. He also criticized what he described as Canada’s sense of entitlement, while emphasizing that Canada is a separate country and “not a state.”

His latest remarks come amid continued tensions between Washington and Ottawa over trade, tariffs and the future of the U.S.-Canada economic relationship.

Trump’s comments are adding fresh pressure to an already tense relationship between the two neighboring countries, with trade disputes and political disagreements continuing to dominate headlines.

Kenyans have raised concerns over the reported size of President William Ruto's delegation to the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York, with claims that Kenya travelled with 84 representatives, compared to five from Uganda and six from the United Kingdom.

The reported figures have sparked debate over government spending on air travel, accommodation and allowances, as citizens continue to grapple with economic challenges, including rising living costs and concerns over healthcare.

The government has defended the trip, citing diplomatic and economic priorities such as UN Security Council reforms and climate finance. However, the full composition and cost of Kenya's delegation remain subjects of public scrutiny, with official records confirming the participation of seven Cabinet Secretaries but not independently verifying the reported total of 84 people. #USA

Donald Trump doesn't usually meet foreign leaders at the airport. On Wednesday, he did for Xi Jinping.

The Chinese president landed at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington and was met on the tarmac by Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, complete with a red carpet, an honour guard and a flyover by two B-1 bombers. It's the first time Trump has welcomed any leader this way during a state visit, and Xi's first trip to Washington in more than a decade.

So why the extra effort? Reporting from Reuters, the BBC and others points to what Washington wants out of this visit:

▪ A trade win. Minutes after Xi landed, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the US–China tariff truce (the "Busan Agreement", due to expire on 10 November) is being extended to 10 January. He said the US hopes to negotiate a broader economic package by then, while admitting some Chinese commitments have "not been perfect".

▪ Rare earths. Reuters reports that more Chinese rare-earth export licences and bigger Chinese purchases of US goods are among Washington's key objectives.

▪ Stability. The visit comes as both sides navigate the Iran war, Ukraine, AI and Taiwan. Analysts quoted by Reuters and CNN say both leaders want to show the relationship is steady, even if few major breakthroughs are expected.

Trump has called Xi a "great leader" and a friend. Thursday's White House arrival ceremony featured military bands, fighter-jet flyovers and nearly 500 service members, followed by Oval Office talks and a state dinner only the second Trump has hosted this term. Some Republicans have questioned the optics of such a warm welcome just six weeks before the midterm elections.

Is Trump's red-carpet treatment of Xi smart dealmaking, or is he giving Beijing too much? Tell us what you think below.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has told reporters that he does not know how Iranian representatives at the United Nations would return home after U.S. sanctions effectively halted the vast majority of international flights in and out of Iranian airports.

Bessent said that, with an estimated 80% to 90% of international flights from Iran suspended following U.S. secondary sanctions, he could not confirm how Iranian UN delegates would be able to return home.

Note: The United States has warned that any foreign entity providing fuel, landing services, catering, maintenance, or ticketing services to designated Iranian aircraft could be cut off from access to the U.S. dollar financial system.

Bessent reiterated the United States readiness to take aggressive measures against anyone facilitating prohibited aviation activity with Iran.

What’s your view on this? Do you think the Iranian delegation will be able to leave the United States despite the restrictions on international flights to and from Iran?

Do you think the U.S. intends to prevent the Iranian delegation including the president, foreign minister and other senior officials from returning home?

What’s your opinion on this? Do you think Iran delegation will still leave the United States even with the ban on international flights in Iran airport.

Do you think US is planning to hold hostage the Iranian delegation which involves the president, foreign minister and other senior government officials. #Iran #USA

LIVE FROM UNGA: U.S. President Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on the International Criminal Court, branding it an “out-of-control institution” and an “anti-American tribunal,” and directly called on every member nation to resign from the ICC immediately.

Standing at the green-marble podium, Trump declared:
“The United States is equally opposed to the out-of-control institution known as the International Criminal Court. We will never allow U.S. service members or anyone else to be investigated or given show trials by an anti-American tribunal with no jurisdiction over us. You’re an evil group of people. I call on all nations that are members of the ICC to officially resign from this rogue institution immediately.”

The president went on to criticize the UN’s top human-rights officials, accusing them of ignoring “genuine atrocities” while focusing criticism on the United States for “protecting our children from transgender mutilation and transgender insanity” and for enforcing immigration laws. He labeled the Human Rights Council “craven hypocrites” for remaining largely silent on the global persecution of Christians, stating: “Christians are being persecuted all over the world. It’s not even believable. I never thought I’d say it.”

Trump’s remarks, delivered in a raised and emphatic tone, mark one of the strongest public rebukes of the ICC and UN human-rights bodies by a sitting American president in recent years. The speech is still ongoing as of this report. #Trump #USA

U.S. just put $414 million behind a uranium mine in Niger two years after getting kicked out. - Washington approved up to $414.2 million in financing for Global Atomic’s Dasa project, the company said. Sources are calling it a quiet win for the U.S. after Niger expelled American forces in 2024.

Dasa is billed as Africa’s highest-grade uranium deposit. Production is aimed for late 2028. Global Atomic owns 80%. Niger owns 20%.

The money isn’t flowing yet. The company still needs an export route for yellowcake, permit extensions, a direct deal with Niamey’s government, and final loan papers.

This comes as Niger fights with France’s Orano and leans on Russian security partners. Uranium is now a U.S. critical mineral, so Washington wants a foothold before someone else takes it.

CEO Stephen Roman went to D.C. this summer to push the deal over the line. Off-take contracts already cover about 11% of the mine plan. Getting the ore out of the country is still the hard part. #USA #Niger

🚨Trump told Axios Thursday that he's approaching a critical juncture in the Iran war over whether to restart massive attacks in an effort to bring the conflict to a close.

"I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them [the Iranian regime] or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me."

Trump is meeting with gulf countries on Tuesday to discuss the war and what he plans to do about it.

As CEO’s of banks and energy companies now join the call for the war to stop by any means.

Trump is at a real crossroads.

He might be trying to make it sound like he’s holding the cards and is the big shot caller.

He only really has 2 options and they are both kind of the same.

He either goes full in on a land invasion he’s ordered his troops to prepare for. A adventure we haven’t seen the likes of since the invasion of Iraq.

Or call it quits and concede to Iranian demands. Reigning in the occupation and forever changing the face of the Middle East. A result he will come to inevitably should he try to invade Iran. #Trump #USA #Iran

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung has ruled out sending troops or military assets that could involve South Korea in the ongoing war with Iran, despite continued calls from Washington for greater support.

Lee said Seoul’s principle of avoiding involvement in the conflict will remain unchanged.

South Korea is, however, considering limited measures to protect its commercial vessels, oil shipments and citizens around the Strait of Hormuz.

The decision comes after weeks of U.S. pressure on Seoul to contribute to efforts in the region. #SouthKorea #USA #Iran #Trump

China is urging the United States and Iran to step back from further escalation and return to serious negotiations, warning that the continuing conflict benefits no one.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on both countries to remain rational, exercise restraint and resume meaningful consultations based on their earlier agreements. Beijing also wants the Strait of Hormuz fully reopened, arguing that disruption along one of the world’s most important energy routes is threatening oil supplies, global trade and economic stability.

China has significant interests in ending the crisis. It is Iran’s largest trading partner and a major buyer of Iranian oil, while its economy depends heavily on stable shipping routes through the Middle East. Beijing has also reportedly used its influence to press Tehran to reduce regional tensions.

The message is simple: continued military action risks more deaths, higher energy prices and wider instability, while diplomacy still offers a possible way out.

Should Washington and Tehran accept China’s call and return to negotiations before the conflict becomes even more dangerous? #China #USA #Iran

Trump’s proposed sale of 40,000 heavy bombs to Israel is facing resistance, with Representative Gregory Meeks placing a hold on the $2.8 billion package. The senior Democrat is demanding answers about civilian safety and how these weapons would be used.

That is a meaningful challenge, but it does not mean Democrats have permanently stopped the transfer. A congressional hold is not the same as a final ban, and the administration could still seek to move the deal forward.

The bigger question is why anyone should expect a weapons package of this scale to pass without serious scrutiny. When civilian lives are at stake, asking where bombs will fall and what safeguards exist should be a basic responsibility.

Supporting an ally does not mean approving every weapons request without questions. Americans deserve transparency, and civilians deserve more than vague assurances about their safety.

Meeks has raised an obstacle. Whether it leads to lasting restrictions remains to be seen. Should Congress allow this sale to proceed without stronger protections for civilians? #USA #Trump #Israel

US DIESEL SUPPLIES ARE COMING UNDER PRESSURE

Reports say some stations in North Texas are now displaying “OUT” on their diesel signs, while a station in Orlando, Florida, reportedly showed a diesel price of $0.00 after its pumps ran dry.

California stations also began reporting diesel shortages on Sunday, with some locations posting “OUT OF DIESEL” signs.

Meanwhile, the national average diesel price has reportedly surged to a record $6.31 per gallon, adding further pressure to trucking, transportation and other fuel-dependent industries.

If the shortages spread, the impact could extend beyond fuel stations — potentially affecting the cost of moving goods across the country. #USA #California

Trump Warns Of Far Harder Strikes If Hormuz Stays Closed As Iran Says The Strait Opens Only After Its Demands Are Met
Tensions over the Strait of Hormuz are flaring again. President Donald Trump has warned that Iran will face much heavier military pressure if the vital oil route is not reopened, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has pushed back that the waterway will open only after Tehran’s conditions are accepted — not because of social media posts. Iran has tied reopening to an end to U.S. military pressure, the lifting of the naval blockade, sanctions relief, release of frozen assets, and compensation for war damage. Washington insists traffic can move and that the strait remains open with or without Iranian cooperation. The standoff matters because this narrow passage normally carries a huge share of the world’s oil. #USA #IRAN

Elon Musk more than doubled his fortune over the past 12 months to rank No. 1 on the annual #Forbes400 list of America’s richest people for the fifth straight year, worth an estimated $908 billion. But the ride was anything but smooth for the SpaceX and Tesla chief, who briefly became the world’s first trillionaire (and saw his fortune top out at $1.3 trillion) after his rocketmaker went public in June. #ElonMusk #USA

Chinese billionaire Xu Bo is revealed to have fathered 100–300 children through American surrogates, granting them U.S. citizenship at birth.
The background on this story and guy is nuts!

Xu Bo dropped out of junior high in Wuhan, started in NetEase customer service, then helped design Fantasy Westward Journey.

He walked out, founded Duoyi Network, and became a gaming billionaire who owns almost the entire company.

Then he started building a family like a product pipeline.

He calls himself “China’s first father.”

His line was “having more children solves everything.”

He wanted 50 “high-quality sons.”

He talked about his kids marrying Elon Musk’s kids.

His ex says 300 children.

His company said no, “only a little over 100,” and that just 12 were born in the U.S. through surrogacy.

In 2023, a Los Angeles judge noticed the same name on petition after petition.

Xu appeared by video from China.

He said he wanted about 20 U.S.-born boys to take over the business.

He said he preferred boys. He also said he hadn’t met some of the kids yet because work was busy. They were with nannies in Irvine.

Later he posted a photo of about 100 children sitting in rows.

A U.S. surrogate who thought she was carrying for a single dad saw it and said he was “creating an army.”

How he did it is not a secret loophole. It’s the law as written.

If a baby is born on U.S. soil, the 14th Amendment makes that baby a citizen.

The parents can be Chinese. They can be billionaires. They don’t even have to live here.

Commercial surrogacy is legal in California.

You hire an agency, use IVF, pay a surrogate, get a parentage order, and the child is born American.

There is no federal limit on how many times you can do this.

China bans the practice at home, so the money just moves to states that allow it. #China #USA

Kenyan arrested by Lewisville Police-Texas for Criminal Trespassing and Evading Arrest on Foot.

On September 5, 2026, officers responded to a call where a criminal trespass had occurred. Upon arrival, they encountered 35-year-old Victor Karanja Kangethe who tried to flee on foot. Officers ran after him and were able to apprehend them shortly after.

Kangethe is being charged with Criminal Trespass and Evading Arrest Detention. His bond was set at $5,000, but ICE has requested an immigration hold on him.

Arrest records show two previous arrests. In May 2025, he spent a month and a half in the Denton County Jail for Possession of a Controlled Substance PG2.

In February 2, 2026, he was arrested also for Possession of a Controlled Substance and for Failing to Identify as a Fugitive by Providing False Information. He spent 4 months in jail and was released on June 29, 2026.

Since he is in the country illegally, it is unclear why he was released and not deported. Kangethe is originally from #kenya. #USA

Kenyans Seeking U.S. Citizenship Face Tighter Scrutiny Over Marriage Fraud

Kenyans pursuing U.S. permanent residency and citizenship through genuine marriages to American citizens could face increased scrutiny as U.S. authorities intensify efforts to crack down on marriage fraud.

The crackdown follows the arrest of 11 people over an alleged scheme that prosecutors say arranged more than 1,000 sham marriages between U.S. citizens and foreign nationals. Authorities allege some participants paid up to KSh12.94 million ($100,000) to secure fraudulent marriages, while U.S. citizens were allegedly paid as much as KSh3.88 million ($30,000).

Investigators say the alleged network staged wedding ceremonies, created fake evidence of shared lives and coached participants on how to respond to immigration officials.

For Kenyans in genuine marriages, the crackdown does not mean legitimate applications are being targeted. However, applicants should expect immigration authorities to carefully verify that their relationship is genuine and that all information submitted is truthful. #USA
