Saturday morning #headlines recap

The Telegraph is reporting Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, which Trump agreed with. So much for yesterday’s denials.

Trump comment on the affair: "I don't think it was me and I don't think it was Elon". Well that settles that.

Zelensky wants Starlink privileges up to 300 kilometers deep into Russia in exchange for cessation of strikes against Russian energy assets for up to three months. Just another jewish shell game.

Ukraine continues to strike Russian refineries, while Zelenskyyyy tells EU leaders he needs another 70 billion euros “for the war”. Nervous EU leaders have picked up on Zelensky’s latest rashness and have urged him to pipe down before Trump does something truly game-changing to Ukraine. It’s time for the little jew to leave the stage.

US arms supplied to Ukraine found in war-torn Sudan. I’m surprised it took this long to discover.

Trump waives most Graham Act sanctions on Russia, days before they would have taken effect. The waiver comes as Washington turns to Moscow to help bring fuel prices down. Ladybugs still taking it in the ass.

Tanker war moves deep into the Gulf: two VLCCs hit off Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Brent above $110 and WTI above $100; North Sea grades price far above Brent futures. Spikes driven by attacks on Saudi east-west pipeline and four additional tanker hits. SPR stands at a 1982 low. While prices continue to climb Trump says oil is "going to come down very soon".

Trump told Newsmax the US "doesn't have to" use nuclear weapons and that he doesn't foresee ground troops. He would not rule out the MOAB after the midterms. Analysts continue to say the MOAB will have no effect.

As many as 1,800 Patriots fired worldwide Feb 28-Sep 30, against 1,795 delivered to the Army from Sep 2001 to May 2020. They literally burned thru 20 years of stock in 7 months.

Indonesia: worst stock market session since 1998. Bali is out of fuel, at least 11 provinces report shortages.

CoreWeave fell 12% on Friday, -25% for the week. Its bonds are below 80 cents with yields approaching 15%. ~$14B of distressed junk bonds back data centers whose only tenant is CoreWeave. Meanwhile The SOX semiconductor index fell an 8th straight day. That matches the longest losing streak in approximately 20 years. The Nasdaq 100 lost -5.5% on the week, its worst since April 2025. Producer prices for chips are up +27% year on year, a record.

Anthropic is in talks with NYC's comptroller about pausing its IPO. On the subject of Anthropic: Trump's former Deputy DNI is now a registered Anthropic lobbyist. Revolving door is revolving.

Michael Dell calls the memory shortage "a 4 year problem". No comment from his wife.

Axios reports Trump's outside allies are urging him to "take control of the midterms", with martial law floated if they judge the vote rigged. Normally one can stop reading at the word “Axios”, but I poasted this one just for the lulz.

After Tesla’s previous roadster announcement was never followed by an actual product, their latest roadster takes “flights of fancy” to a new level by flying over other vehicles and sticking to a nearly upside-down ramp before leaping into the air and landing safely. Phineas Taylor Barnum would be proud.

White House press secretary Katie Zacharia out after 5 days, the shortest tenure on record. Honestly a dart board could yield better staff choices.

Redditor points out that Bob Kraft and his jew buddies hang around with rappers in order to promote predatory sports gambling on the black community. Poasted only for the novelty of a Redditor actually noticing.

Speaking of noticing… US men under 40 blame the US (39%) and Israel (29%) for the conflict before Iran (18%).

Three children — ages 5, 8 and 11 — and an teacher were killed at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, by a 16 year old shooter who was quickly killed by a civilian with a gun who saw him and followed him into the school. It’s hard to know what’s real in any of these stories, but if it truly was just a civilian who acted bravely then it underscores the importance of an armed populace.

Speaking of an armed populace, make sure you don’t go out today without the proper gear…
