The Israeli military has fired on the United Nations peacekeeping force in Lebanon twice in less than 48 hours, the UN says. Israeli forces repeatedly fired at a guard tower at the headquarters of the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) on Thursday, injuring two members of the force, and again fired at a watchtower, injuring two more peacekeepers, on Friday. It is almost unheard of for a UN member state to take aim at a UN peacekeeping force, so how significant are these incidents in the unfolding war in Lebanon? UNIFIL armoured personnel carriers depart from a base to patrol…

As shared by the JoeBucsFan website, cornerback Zyon McCollum suggested earlier this week that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having to evacuate to Tulane University in advance of Hurricane Milton could result in players becoming “closer as a group” ahead of this Sunday’s game at the 2-3 New Orleans Saints. Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Coen echoed McCollum’s point while speaking with reporters on Thursday. “The guys were locked in, focused, you know, there’s a good energy actually,” Coen said about practices held at Tulane, according to the Buccaneers’ official website. “I would say that Zyon is probably correct when he says that sometimes, these moments, these…

Sheehy has eschewed interviews with local and national reporters, and there is little evidence of a significant grassroots campaign. The Montana GOP’s website lists only three events for the entire month of October, none of them including Sheehy. The events Sheehy does hold are by invitation only and not open to the media. His campaign didn’t acknowledge repeated requests to interview him or to cover an event with him talking to voters.An invitation obtained by NBC News showed Sheehy was raising money in Texas this week. Still, Daines argued that Sheehy is connecting with voters and that his walled-off strategy is…
Just outside Lausanne, Switzerland, in a meeting room wallpapered with patent drawings, Ioannis Ierides faced a classic sales challenge: demonstrating his product’s advantages within the short span of his customer’s attention. Ierides is a business-development manager at Iprova, a company that sells ideas for invention with an element of artificial intelligence (AI). When Ierides gets someone to sign on the bottom line, Iprova begins sending their company proposals for patentable inventions in their area of interest. Any resulting patents will name humans as the inventors, but those humans will have benefited from Iprova’s AI tool. The software’s primary purpose is…
The Department of Homeland Security released a report to gauge the number of asylum seekers who entered the US in 2023.

Venezuelans composed 22% of all applications, followed by Cuba at 17%, and Colombia at 8.3%. Venezuelans in particular flooded into America over 2023, with…
All of the talk about how sacred ‘our democracy’ is from Democrats in recent years might go right out the window in November. Rep. Jamie Raskin of California and other members of his party are already signaling that they may not vote to certify the 2024 election if Trump wins. This would not be a big change for Raskin. He objected to certifying the 2016 election when Trump won. It’s almost like they don’t really care about ‘our democracy’ at all. Almost. Breitbart News reports: Top Democrats, Including Election Denier Jamie Raskin, Won’t Commit to Certifying a Trump Victory Top…

GENEVA: A United Nations inquiry said it found that Israel carried out a concerted policy of destroying Gaza’s healthcare system in the Gaza war, actions amounting to both war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination. A statement on Thursday (Oct 10) by former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay that accompanied the report accused Israel of “relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities” in the war, triggered by Hamas militants’ deadly cross-border attack on southern Israel on Oct 7, 2023. “Children in particular have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and…
