LIFE AND NEWS NOTES

· The press secretary lasted about 4.5 days. After an outrageously embarrassing performance, she’s gone.

· Suzy Wiles, after grifting with her family, is now prepared to leave the administration (Note: See Financial Times 10/8/26)

· Stephen Miller is being talked about to replace Wiles.

· There are questions about whether Miller ordered the shutdown of the Starlink system which made it impossible for Ukraine to shoot down Russia’s millies and drones?

· And then there’s “soulless little Marco” Rubio. He evidently spends hours on the phone every day getting orders from Stephen Miller. The “club” that is the Senate confirmed him unanimously. Rubio greenlit ending of programs that cost the lives of millions of people. He has gutted the State Department. He has shut down the departments that deal with climate change. In a recent speech, he recharacterized himself as descended from Spain (instead of Cuba) and legitimated war crimes in the Pacific and in the Caribbean and threats against Cuba. The administration is essentially starving Cuba. (Note: Ending up as what is Viceroy of Cuba and Venezuela is Rubio’s life dream.)

· And then there’s Donald Trump, funding an enemy (Russia) that is helping a country (Iran) actively at war with us.

· As a symbol of just how selfish the administration is, the State Department was surrounded by flags of every notion. Rubio took all the flags down and replaced them with all American flags. Message: Nothing matters but us. Rubio cares about nobody but himself.

· The Administration cut out the mental health aspects of the VA.

· Book “American Resistance.”

· Book “Treasure.” We knew this was going to happen.

· Note the election in Israel is on the 7th and Netanyahu has a chance to form another coalition. The price they pay to have the haredi in government is giving tons of money to the schools.

· France is looking like they are going to make Le Pen the new leader. If the ADF comes to power, Ukraine is going to have much more difficulty.

· Europe has failed to send frozen Russian assets to Ukraine.

· Ilhan Omaher’s integration papers are being examined in order to strip her of her citizenship and deport her. Judge in Georgia gave them a search warrant.

· Trump is likely to go on a crisis after the mid-terms.
