Judges Order Trump Admin To Use Emergency Funds For Food Assistance
October 31st, 2025Via: ZeroHedge:
Two judges have stepped in over the federal government suspension of food-aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans set to end on Nov. 1 amid the shutdown.
On Friday, US District Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island announced that he would order the US Department of Agriculture to distribute a pool of contingency funds “as soon as possible.”
While minutes before, Boston US District Judge Indira Talwani ruled that the US government must announce by Nov. 3 whether they would authorize at least partial funding for the program using around $6 billion in contingency funds – and if so, when will they do it.
McConnell’s order is related to a case brought by Democrat-led cities and nonprofits who sought to keep federal funds flowing the the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), while Talwani’s case was brought by over two dozen Democratic states and the District of Columbia.
Which, of course, completely takes pressure off Congress to find a speedy resolution to the ongoing shutdown. We’re sure judges will simply order federal employees to be paid, effectively un-shutting-down the government.
Data Centers in Orbit?
October 31st, 2025Via: Ars Technica:
As artificial intelligence drives the need for vastly more computing storage and processing power, interest in space-based data centers has spiked.
Although several startup companies, such as Starcloud, have begun to address this problem, the idea has also attracted the interest of tech barons. In May, it emerged that former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt acquired Relativity Space due to his interest in space-based data centers. Then, earlier this month, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicted that gigawatt-scale data centers will be built in space within the next 10 to 20 years.
Now, Elon Musk, whose SpaceX owns and operates significantly more space-based infrastructure than any other company or country in the world, has also expressed interest in the technology.

Bill Gates Admits Climate Change Won’t End World
October 31st, 2025Via: ZeroHedge:
In the late 1970s, after ‘global cooling’ armageddon science fell out of fashion, a well-oiled machine comprised of billionaire-funded NGOs, the MSM, Hollywood, woke Wall Street, and a robust fact-checking / censorship cartel – started pushing a cult narrative about the planet’s imminent demise in a hellish inferno of global warming. They’ve blamed everything from cow farts and Taylor Swift’s private jet to two-stroke chainsaws, petrol-powered cars, and whatever else these climate Marxists wanted banned – and forced people into authoritarian bullshit like ‘electric stoves only’ and ’15 minute cities’ and ‘eat the bugs,’ etc.
Now, as data centers are coincidentally projected to need record amounts of electricity, Bill Gates has changed his mind about all of that.
Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases
October 30th, 2025Via: The Atlantic:
There are scattered examples from previous administrations of Cabinet members residing on bases. Both Robert Gates, defense secretary under presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and Jim Mattis, Trump’s first Pentagon chief, lived in Navy housing at the Potomac Hill annex, a secure compound near the State Department. Mike Pompeo, CIA director and secretary of state during Trump’s first term, lived at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall. The grand homes they occupied, some of which date back more than a century, offer officials an additional layer of security and ample space for official entertaining.
But there is no record of so many political appointees living on military installations. The shift adds to the blurring of traditional boundaries between the civilian and military worlds. Trump has made the military a far more visible element of domestic politics, deploying National Guard forces to Washington, Los Angeles, and other cities run by Democrats. He has decreed that those cities should be used as “training grounds” in the battle against the “enemy within.”

Truck Hauling Research Monkeys Crashes, at Least One on the Loose
October 29th, 2025There’s confusion regarding the monkeys’ health status.
Initially, the truck driver told law enforcement that the monkeys were infected with hepatitis C, herpes, and COVID-19, posing a potential risk to humans.
Tulane University then stated the monkeys, “Aren’t infectious,” and “Have not been exposed to any infectious agent.”
Hmm…
Via: Independent:
A truck hauling “aggressive” monkeys thought to be carrying hepatitis C, herpes and Covid-19 has overturned in Mississippi, with at least one on the loose, according to authorities.
The truck was loaded with caged Rehsus monkeys when it crashed on Interstate 59, north of Heidelberg, on Tuesday.
It was transporting the monkeys to a testing facility in Florida, Connecticut news outlet WFSB reported.
Jasper County Sheriff Randy Johnson told local outlet WAPT that 21 monkeys were on the truck, six of whom escaped.
“The monkey that got away actually crossed interstate, went out into a wooded area,” Johnson said.
…
Tulane said in a statement on X Tuesday evening that the monkeys are not infectious.
“The primates…aren’t infectious. We’re actively collaborating with local authorities & will send a team of animal care experts to assist as needed,” the university wrote.
Tulane stressed to The Independent that the monkeys “have not been exposed to any infectious agent.”
Three Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Personnel Found Dead
October 29th, 2025Update: New York Post:
An Air Force base worker killed his wife and a lieutenant before taking his own life in the parking lot of their sleepy Ohio town’s municipal building early Saturday morning, authorities said.
The bloodshed began late on Oct. 24 after Jacob Prichard, 34, broke into 1st Lt. Jaime Gustitus’ apartment in Sugarcreek Township, roughly 18 miles south of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where they both worked, WDTN reported, citing West Milton police.
Police said that Prichard killed Gustitus, the lone resident in the apartment, though the manner of her death is still unclear.
After leaving the apartment, Prichard murdered his 33-year-old wife, Jaymee, before he killed himself in the parking lot of the West Milton Municipal Building, according to the report.
Prichard was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound around 4:30 a.m. on Oct. 25 and his wife was found dead in the open trunk of their car, police said.
