Trump:

The one I like the best is "Gays for Palestine."

You know what they do if you happen to be gay? They throw you off the top of a building.

How about women for Palestine? They treat them almost as badly.

Trump:

I will be the last Republican president if the Democrats get in.

Trump on Jon Husted:

I don't do this with men very often. I started examining his body because I didn't know he was a great athlete.

I watched up and down. I looked at his ass, and I looked at the whole — and then I looked at his hands.

Jake Paul:

I get confused by the left, the protesters. Do they not have jobs?

That's all they do, just carry signs around while we're doing the work.

Jake Paul:

All they do is talk on Twitter. But Twitter fingers never built the country. Hate has never built the country.

And the woke socialist movement that we face has never built a country.

Young girls in Azerbaijan are being turned away from school for wearing hijab, and they’re fighting back.

On September 21, Azerbaijan’s Cabinet amended school uniform rules to bar clothing conflicting with the “principle of secularism” in education, effectively targeting the hijab without naming it.

Since early October, schools have been turning away hijab-wearing students and teachers from classrooms.

One young girl’s plea:

I am a child. I want to study! I have that right too — but they are not letting me study!

A teacher was filmed holding back tears while comforting a student forced to choose between her faith and her education:

You have to take it off as though you are guilty? Don’t cry. We are with you. Everything will be alright.

Students who don’t wear hijab have joined the protests in solidarity.

“Nobody accepts it,” one said.

Teachers held lessons outdoors rather than enforce the ban, and defiant students declared:

If they throw us out through the door, we will come back through the window.

Police have arrested 37 people, and Instagram and TikTok have been disrupted as the protests spread across the country.

Trump on Iran:

We might have gone too far with the leaders because we don't know who the hell we're dealing with anymore.

We're having a hard time figuring out who the hell to deal with, to be honest with you. I think we went too far.

We could have stopped at level one. Level two and level two and a half was probably going too far.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

The precise objective of the war was to destroy Hamas's military and governing power within a year.

Netanyahu added another element: "total victory." I thought at the time that saying this was a mistake.

The last total victory was achieved in 1945 against Japan and Germany. Today's reality is more complicated.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

Israel must do everything, including attacking Iran, to prevent Iran from having a military nuclear capability.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

As far as I'm concerned, not a single worker should leave the Gaza Strip for the next 100 years.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

I don't see any Arab party in Israel today that accepts my four principles. Therefore, I will not go with any Arab party.

I want support to come from the Zionist, statesmanlike parties.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

Ben Gvir probably did some good things in the prisons, but he failed catastrophically in dealing with crime in Israel.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

On the Palestinian issue, my position has been consistent for as long as I can remember dealing with it.

Two states for two peoples is a mistake.

Israel's Gadi Eisenkot:

I think it would be a disaster for the State of Israel to annex three million Palestinians in the West Bank and another two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

I don't want them.

NEW: Egypt says it will support Saudi Arabia against the Houthis “without any reservation.”

Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty:

“Whatever is being asked by the Saudis, of course we will respond.

Without any reservation we are providing all kind of support.”

Egypt has strong reasons to act.

Houthi control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait area is already hurting Suez Canal revenues. But Cairo remains historically cautious about Yemen entanglement.

Nasser’s 1962–67 intervention with 70,000 troops became Egypt’s “Vietnam.”

Mother of Hindu laborer sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for insulting Prophet Mohammed breaks down pleading for his life.

The woman, shaking as she speaks, begs Saudi authorities to spare her son:

Please forgive him... For God’s sake, please consider him as your own child, I am begging you.

He spoke by mistake. Should a life be lost? Will we ever get it back? We will not get it back.

Two Russian Rassvet satellites are falling out of orbit after failing to raise altitude, the latest setback for Moscow’s Starlink alternative.

Satellites No. 17 and No. 23 from the July batch are in rapid decay — No. 17 at just ~245 km and dropping ~1.7 km/day, with reentry likely in weeks if thrusters can’t fire.

One satellite from the earlier March batch already burned up in June.

Rassvet, built by Bureau 1440 as Russia’s answer to Starlink after SpaceX cut off Russian military access in Ukraine, has launched 38 satellites across two batches.

Most are ascending normally toward ~500–540 km, but repeated propulsion failures on a subset are slowing progress.

Coverage remains limited to brief daily windows rather than continuous service, with commercial targets pushed to 2027 at the earliest.
