Should your children be knocking on strangers’ doors this Halloween? 🎃
Content creator Tinuke Bernard thinks it should be avoided altogether - while author and agony aunt Gaynor Evans says as long as the house has decorations, trick-or-treaters can go ahead.

Following the recent decision from Haas F1 Team confirming that I will not be participating in this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, I wish to formally address some media reports and speculation surrounding the situation.
Last night, a difference in viewpoints led to a discussion with the parties involved. Whilst I acknowledge that this took place, I categorically reject any reports or allegations suggesting that any form of physical violence was used to resolve any differences of any nature.
I strongly condemn violence in all its forms and firmly believe that disagreements should always be handled with professionalism, respect, and mutual understanding.
I kindly ask that speculation be avoided while the matter is being addressed.
Further updates will be communicated in due course.
🚨‼️ Surveillance footage released by the Dallas Police Department in connection with an October 11, 2026, convenience store (Little World convenience store) shootout, a business in the 4600 block of South Malcolm X Boulevard in South Dallas, Texas, at approximately 1:22 a.m.
Three suspects were rumored to have exchanged gunfire inside the crowded store. An unarmed customer standing between the suspects was shot multiple times and left in critical condition (though expected to survive), and a 1-year-old child narrowly avoided being hit.
The Dallas Police Department is actively asking the public for help identifying and locating the three suspects seen on the surveillance video.

🔊Church: The world is preparing for WHAT could come, while we are preparing for WHO is coming!!! From Europe to Asia, Australia, South America, and the United States, governments are emphasizing “emergency preparedness” and encouraging citizens to prepare for “possible disruptions”. Something is happening around the world, and warnings are coming from every direction!!! BUT WE, THE CHURCH, ARE NOT APPOINTED TO WRATH, BUT TO OBTAIN SALVATION THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST! KEEP LOOKING UP!! HE IS COMING!!
EUROPE: WHAT GOVERNMENTS ARE SAYING
🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Launched its “Be Ready” campaign on October 22, urging households to keep 3 days of supplies. Officials cite weather, cyberattacks, and supply-chain disruption.
🇫🇷 France: Advises 72 hours of supplies. A Normandy regional account urged residents this week: “Don’t wait for the emergency: prepare now!”
🇩🇪 Germany: Recommends up to 10 days of food, water and essentials. Three days is considered the useful minimum.
🇳🇱 Netherlands: Advises a 72-hour kit for the first 72 hours without electricity, water or internet.
🇸🇪 Sweden: Advises at least one week of independence. Its guidance includes the risk of conflict on Swedish soil.
🇳🇴 Norway: Advises at least 7 days without internet, mobile networks or electronic payments.
🇫🇮 Finland: Advises 72 hours of food, water and medicine. Its guidance also covers air raids and civil defense shelters.
🇩🇰 Denmark: Advises 3 days of independence and has published a sample emergency meal plan.
🇵🇱 Poland: Advises 3 days of essential supplies through its official safety guide.
🇮🇪 Ireland: Advises households to keep enough essential supplies (including 2–3 liters of water per person per day) to get through an emergency. Officials avoided a strict 72-hour self-sufficiency message.
🇪🇺 European Union: Urges all citizens to keep at least 72 hours of supplies.
NORTH AMERICA
🇺🇸United States: On September 30, the Pentagon announced an initiative called FORTRESS America, aimed at strengthening military installations against cyberattacks, sabotage, power-grid failures, drone threats, and supply-chain disruptions.
👉🏼The goal includes enabling major military installations to generate electricity independently of civilian power grids, protecting communications, and building strategic reserves to sustain military operations during prolonged emergencies.
👉🏼The U.S. military is planning for scenarios in which civilian infrastructure could become unreliable.
👉🏼Meanwhile, American cybersecurity agencies have warned about Iranian-affiliated cyber actors targeting critical infrastructure, including industrial systems associated with water and energy services.
🇨🇦 Canada: A 72-hour emergency kit.
🇲🇽 Mexico: A 72-hour kit.
ASIA
🇯🇵 Japan: Japan is preparing to launch its new National Disaster Management Agency on November 2, 2026, alongside a renewed emphasis on nationwide disaster preparedness. Households are encouraged to maintain at least three days of emergency supplies, preferably one week, particularly for earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters.
🇮🇳 India: The disaster authority advises an emergency kit but gives no timeframe.
🇹🇼 Taiwan, 🇮🇱 Israel, 🇵🇭 Philippines, 🇸🇬 Singapore are also in the list of countries emphasizing emergency.
SOUTH AMERICA
🇪🇨 Ecuador: Declared a nationwide red alert in response to El Niño, urging emergency preparedness for heavy rains, flooding, and landslides.
🇨🇱 Chile, 🇨🇴 Colombia, 🇦🇷 Argentina and 🇧🇷 Brazil are also in the list of countries emphasizing emergency preparedness and encouraging citizens to be ready for natural disasters and other potential disruptions.
OCEANIA AND AFRICA
🇦🇺 Australia. Western Australia advises cyclone-prone areas to prepare kits. That is regional and weather-driven.
🇳🇿 New Zealand also came out with their own emergency preparedness plan.
🇿🇦 South Africa. Cape Town tells households to keep at least three days of supplies.
👉🏼Governments around the world are clearly preparing for a wide range of potential threats and emergencies, including cyberattacks, power-grid failures, infrastructure sabotage, communication disruptions, supply-chain interruptions, military conflicts, cyclones, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, torrential rains, flooding, and severe storms.
⚔️But WE, THE CHURCH, are already in the midst of a spiritual war, facing our own personal earthquakes, cyclones, and raging storms. Battles that shake our foundations, test our faith, exhaust our strength, and threaten to steal our peace. These are storms the world may never see, but they are just as real to those walking through them.
The Word reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness.
📖“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” Eph 6:12
And how intense that battle can feel!!!
👉🏼The discouragement.
👉🏼The distractions.
👉🏼The exhaustion.
👉🏼The attacks against families and relationships.
👉🏼The temptation to grow weary.
👉🏼The constant struggle to remain focused on Jesus in a world filled with uncertainty.
The enemy would love nothing more than to see us overwhelmed by fear, distracted by the cares of this world, and discouraged in their waiting.
But we have not been called to retreat…
WE HAVE BEEN CALLED TO STAND AND KEEP PRAYING TOGETHER!
Lord,🕊️
We come before You in the mighty name of Jesus!!! We thank You for the cross, for choosing us, saving us, cleansing us, redeeming us, and giving us an eternal future with YOU!
🌍Lord, as we watch nations around the world calling for “global preparedness,” we recognize that we do not fully understand what is unfolding or what may lie ahead. We do not know whether these preparations are simply precautionary measures or whether there is something more happening that we are not aware of.
💡Father, please give us wisdom and discernment concerning what is coming ahead! Help us recognize genuine dangers without falling into fear, speculation, or unnecessary anxiety. We pray that truth would be exposed and that any deception, hidden agendas, or any misinformation surrounding these governement initiatives would come to light!!
💣In the mighty name of Jesus, we stand against every spirit of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty concerning the future. We ask You to release Your supernatural peace over our hearts and minds. Keep us, from becoming consumed by the things happening around us, but also from becoming spiritually complacent or asleep. Help us trust the plans You have for each of us and continue walking by faith with our eyes on You.
🛡️Lord, we ask You to protect our families, our children, our loved ones, and our friends, wherever they may be. Provide for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. But above all, Father, AWAKEN THOSE WHO DO NOT YET KNOW YOU!
👉🏼Let the Gospel reach them TODAY, without any delay! Open their eyes, soften their hearts, and draw them closer to YOU! May they experience Your love, kindness, grace, and mercy and come wholeheartedly to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ before it is too late — before the Tribulation begins!!
👉🏼As the world prepares for what it fears may come, help Your Church prepare for the ONE WE KNOW IS COMING!
💪🏼Give us supernatural courage, strength, endurance, and faith to finish the race You have set before us. Strengthen us against the spiritual warfare we face daily, and help us stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the whole armor of God.
🛡️Help us wake up every morning seeking Your face, longing for Your presence, and eagerly awaiting FOR YOU! Keep our hearts and eyes fixed on You and You alone. Whatever tomorrow may bring, remind us that You are our Provider, our Protector, our Shield, our Refuge, and our BLESSED HOPE!
👉🏼 We trust You, Lord. We know that You have not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ! Our lives and our future are in Your hands!!
🇮🇱 Lord, we continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for Your perfect will to be accomplished in Israel. We lift up the Jewish people throughout the world, asking You to open their spiritual eyes, soften their hearts, and draw them closer to You! May they recognize Jesus as their promised Messiah, YESHUA HAMASHIACH! Reveal Yourself to them, Lord, and let Your salvation reach every heart and every home!
🇺🇸 Father, we also lift up the United States of America. Have mercy on this nation! Bring repentance and spiritual awakening. Open the eyes and hearts of the American people to recognize Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. May Your truth OVERCOME DECEPTION, Your light overcome darkness, and Your Gospel reach every corner of this nation. Please protect this nation, let Your perfect will be done, Lord, and may countless souls turn to You and receive the gift of eternal salvation!
🩵 We love You, Lord, and we cannot wait for that glorious moment when we finally see You FACE TO FACE! To You belong ALL GLORY, HONOR, AND POWER, FOREVER AND EVER!!!
In the mighty, precious, and glorious name of JESUS CHRIST, we pray. AMEN! 🙏🏻
🔊Church: We're entering a new season! KEEP PUTTING ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD! Keep praying and keep preaching the Gospel!! WE ARE LIVING IN THE FINAL MOMENTS OF THE CHURCH AGE OF GRACE!! KEEP LOOKING UP!!!
Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus, Come!!! 🤍
I hate to be the bearer of bad news…
But Caleb Williams has a high percentage chance of getting injured again.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Why?
Because of the way he plays the game.
I tried warning everyone again in the preseason 53 days before he was injured against the Vikings (9/20/26).
People back in July thought it was so wonderful to hear that he lost that 10-15 pounds so he would be “faster,” it wasn’t wonderful to me. All it did was heighten my concern for him.
All he’s doing by running around, scrambling and holding the ball too long before he throws is inviting more opportunity for injury. More contact=more chance of injury and even if contact is not the result, he’s putting more wear and tear on his body, which also increases the chance for injury.
There’s a higher likelihood he gets hurt again from a mathematical standpoint compared to a traditional pocket passer who gets the ball out their hand on schedule because of his playing style and because he is too dependent on his legs. And with a player like Williams once he loses his mobility he will be done. His entire “game” depends on his mobility.
Williams has one of the slowest times to throw in the NFL this season per Pro Football Focus (PFF) 3.44 seconds (this ranks 51/53).
He’s literally inviting contact and putting more stress on his body because he can’t/refuses to get the ball out of his hand on schedule. Per PFF: Williams time to throw has gone from 3.03 seconds (2024), 3.24 seconds (2025), to 3.44 seconds (2026).
In terms of contact—
He’s averaging 3 sacks a game at this point (12 sacks in 4 starts this season).
How many of those sacks and how much of that contact could have been avoided if he could have simply gotten on the ball out of his hand on schedule?
Like this play against the Falcons this season for example. Look how awkward this looks.
🎥
As a former NFL Scout—
I’m not sure what the point of this is.
All more running is going to do is open Caleb Williams up to a higher chance of getting injured.

Please foster, adopt, rescue, or share — someone out there could be the person who changes his whole world!
We've defaulted on American.
Say that to an elite and watch the reaction. Nobody argues with it. They reach for "you can't default when you print the reserve currency," as if the only creditor that counts is a bondholder in Zurich. The Treasury will always pay its coupons. That's the trick. The default happened somewhere else: the pension a machinist was promised, the house a 28-year-old was told he'd afford, the degree sold as a ticket to the middle class, the dollar a grandmother saved that buys half of what it did. Every generation after the boomers got handed the bill and a smaller slice of the country. A government that keeps its promises to creditors and breaks them to its citizens hasn't avoided default. It picked who gets paid.

2 years ago, Louisville lost a very improbable game in which they had 1st & 10 in Stanford territory with 0:19 to play, Tyler Shough threw 4 incompletes, and then Emmet Kenney hit a 52-yd FG for the win.
They avoided that this year by simply winning by 28.
Peter Bealish was my favorite character in Game of Thrones. Little finger was very wise but appeared harmless and foolish. He spoke little. Avoided all the fights his adversaries fought. He mastered the act of timing. When his enemies were in a burn out, he bought everything, including their courts and almost bought the Iron Throne.

THIS IS F*CKING INSANE
Goldman Sachs insider leaked Wall Street research worth $222,000. he turned it into Grok Bot templates you can run on a $30/month subscription
Bots scan your watchlist overnight for filings, earnings, insider trades, chatter, and options activity. you wake up to a ranked brief with what changed, why it matters, and sources for every finding
6 bots behind the research desk:
01 / filings analyst
checks SEC EDGAR for new 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings. compares them with previous disclosures and flags changes in debt, risk factors, auditors, and share count. every finding links to the filing
02 / earnings analyst
compares what management promised last quarter with what it delivered. pulls guidance from the release and call transcript, highlights metrics that disappeared, and identifies questions management avoided answering
03 / insider tracker
tracks disclosed insider purchases and sales, separating open-market transactions from grants and other activity. highlights large purchases and clusters of insiders buying, with names, dates, amounts, and links to the filings
04 / sentiment analyst
checks the conversation around each ticker against its usual activity. traces unusual attention back to the original posts and separates new information from the same opinion being repeated across dozens of accounts
05 / options analyst
checks your connected options-data feed for unusual volume, changes in implied volatility, and upcoming expirations. includes timestamps and the underlying figures so you can inspect the activity instead of accepting an unexplained “bullish” label
06 / chief of staff
reads the other five bots’ findings and produces one ranked, one-page brief. shows the three developments that deserve attention, the evidence behind them, and what still needs checking. repeated coverage of one source doesn’t count as independent confirmation
create watchlist.txt with your tickers and give every bot the same research folder. each specialist saves a dated report there so the chief of staff can assemble the brief without asking you to forward five conversations
run the workflow once while you watch. check the links, dates, calculations, and missing inputs. save the reliable process as skills, then schedule the specialists before the final briefing
licensed market data may require separate access. if a feed is unavailable or a figure is stale, the brief should show the gap instead of filling it with a guess
the advantage compounds when yesterday’s findings stay available. the next run should investigate new disclosures and changed figures, then update the record
save this. build a morning briefing you can question, trace, and use
the article below covers 7 workflow changes that help this Grok Bot research desk cost less to run without paying to reconstruct the same background every morning ↓
The crazy thing about Paradis in Attack on Titan is that people in the northern districts lived completely peaceful lives and didn’t even know what Titans looked like and some people up there didn’t even believe Titans were real
Titans literally avoided the north because of the freezing weather and mountain terrain. You could literally survive the entire story just by living in the North

Ilhan Omar got more bad news on Thursday when a New York Times article revealed that the Obama administration had investigated her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Nur Said Elmi and found evidence it was fraudulent.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security looked at the marriage in the summer of 2016. Officials told the Times that agents developed evidence suggesting it was a sham, possibly to help a man suspected of being her brother obtain a green card. Elmi received a provisional green card based on the marriage. When immigration officials later asked for more proof to make the status permanent, he left the United States and abandoned the petition instead of responding.
The case stalled because prosecutors concluded the potential felony of marriage fraud fell outside the five-year statute of limitations. Omar has spent years calling the claims a right-wing conspiracy that was debunked. A 2016 letter from the U.S. Attorney’s office saying it wasn’t investigating her at that moment was treated as clearance. The Times reporting shows law enforcement under Obama did examine it and saw enough to open a case.
Now both the Obama and Biden administrations have had her investigated on issues tied to her immigration history and related matters. She’s only avoided consequences so far because of technicalities like the statute of limitations. That doesn’t clear her. It just means the clock ran out on one potential charge.
Anyone who’s still defending Omar after these revelations shouldn’t be taken seriously. Just because her alleged crimes may have survived the statute of limitations doesn’t make her a better person. The gap between her public denials and what federal agents found under Obama is straightforward.
Omar really needs to resign. Continuing to protect her only makes the entire party look worse as the details keep coming out. Democrats have had years to move on from her and keep choosing not to.
These revelations about Omar are getting worse, and they’re making the Democrat Party look even worse than it already does for defending her. The evidence keeps accumulating while her explanations don’t. Around 40 House Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, already refused to sign a letter defending her. That’s quiet distancing in plain sight.
