EXCERPT:

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued an executive order Monday declaring a “state of emergency” as the state reports more than 100 measles cases.

As the Empire State’s neighbor Pennsylvania continues to top the charts with number of measles cases — with over 1,000 as of Monday — Hochul signed an executive order Monday calling for the state to increase its monitoring and vaccination efforts. New York reported 108 measles cases as of Saturday, according to Hochul’s order.

“After reviewing the latest data on measles cases in New York State, I am declaring a State Disaster Emergency to strengthen our ongoing efforts to confront this disease,” Hochul said in a statement posted to her government website.“No one should get seriously ill or die from a vaccine-preventable disease. That is why I have taken steps to increase the number of health professionals who can vaccinate and test. These emergency measures will protect New Yorkers and support our community partners as they work tirelessly to address the spread of this disease.” (RELATED: Schools Brace Themselves For Pennsylvania’s New Epidemic. But Is It Actually Impacting Kids?)

The executive order stressed the necessity to vaccinate New Yorkers in preventing the disease starting “the MMR [measles, mumps and rubella] vaccine is the only reliable way to prevent measles.”

To increase vaccination efforts, Hochul opened up the level of authorized personnel to administer the shots to include “paramedics, advanced EMS providers, pharmacists and midwives, and in addition to physicians, also allows nurses to order testing,” the order indicated.

Since July 15, New York health departments have administered over 1,000 doses of the MMR vaccine across rural areas of the state and also created a “Measles Dashboard” to show the latest updates of the outbreak in the state.

EXCERPT:

The public can’t agree if artificial intelligence is a good thing or a bad thing for society, but one state is taking a stand in opposition. A Florida attorney general recently made a motion to block further ChatGPT development, and unless several strict terms are met, OpenAI can’t release new AI models in the state ever again.

In late September, DeSantis-appointed Attorney General James Uthmeier filed a temporary injunction against OpenAI. The document shines a spotlight on OpenAI, bringing to light the company’s claims that ChatGPT “poses an existential risk to the continued survival of humankind.” Furthermore, AI companies like OpenAI “admit that they provide a service without fully knowing how it works.”

Uthmeier’s motion delivers the government reckoning they crave.

Ultimately, this threat is what led Big AI CEOs, like Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk, to join together in a call to “pace the frontier.” However, so far, that union has amounted to nothing but lip service, as frontier model development continues unfettered, at least for now.

Trump Has A Truly Deranged Message About Iran Destroying U.S. Cities– crooksandliars.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Donald J. Trump suggested during a campaign rally in Nebraska that allowing Iran to “take out” Los Angeles or San Diego would be an acceptable cost of the ongoing war.

While discussing the conflict, Trump described its economic impact as a “small price to pay” to keep the country safe. He then bizarrely applied that logic concerning the possibility of an attack on a major American city, telling the crowd, “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.”

Even more disturbing was the crowd’s response: they cheered rather than recoiled. We’re used to Trump’s deranged remarks, but there’s something extremely disturbing about the idea of thousands of people enthusiastically applauding the notion that millions of their fellow Americans could be sacrificed as an acceptable “price to pay.”

Trump’s comments immediately drew condemnation from California officials. Gov. Gavin Newsom called the president “deranged and dangerous,” while Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said a president’s responsibility is to protect Americans, not threaten them or encourage attacks against them.

San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria similarly rejected the idea that his city could be treated as collateral damage, saying San Diego residents are “not expendable” and should not be considered a “small price to pay.”

Both cities overwhelmingly rejected him at the ballot box. That’s not a coincidence.

EXCERPT:

The United States has discussed starting reciprocal visits to nuclear sites with China, and plans to continue pushing in meetings in the coming months, CNN reported on Tuesday (Oct 6), citing sources familiar with the matter.

The idea of reciprocal visits was initially raised by China in meetings with US officials this year and visits to US Department of Energy national laboratories and equivalent Chinese facilities were discussed, CNN said, citing a source.

The discussions between US and Chinese officials have mainly been on the sidelines of gatherings by the UN Security Council’s five veto-wielding permanent members, CNN reported.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. The White House and the Chinese embassy in Washington did not respond to requests for comment outside business hours.

US President Donald Trump called for trilateral arms control negotiations between the US, China and Russia when he met President Xi Jinping last month. However, the two leaders did not discuss the possibility of nuclear site visits during their talks, the CNN report said, citing a US official.

Mamdani’s definition of socialism sounds like state-controlled ‘totalitarianism’: critics

By Rich Calder, NY Post, Oct. 3, 2026:

Far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered an impassioned definition of socialism this week — one critics say rivals state-controlled totalitarianism — claiming in a podcast interview that it’s the job of the government to ensure the masses have “whatever you need.”

“Socialism, to me, it means that you will have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that,” Hizzoner told comedian podcaster Theo Von on Thursday when asked to define the political and economic system he’s pushing on the city.

Far-left NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani offered an impassioned definition this week of what socialism means to him, claiming in a podcast interview that it’s the government’s job to make sure the masses aren’t “priced out of dignity.”

“It’s a belief that you shouldn’t live in a place where all you can do is pick your own leaders,” added the card-carrying Democratic Socialists of America member.

“You should also be able to have that power in the rest of your life, right? People talk about it as the extension of democracy from the ballot box to the rest of your life.

EXCERPT:

A man convicted of manslaughter in Arizona will be resentenced because an AI-generated video of his victim speaking from beyond the grave was ruled to have carried “undue emotional weight” as an impact statement. An appellate court in Arizona ruled that the manslaughter charge will remain, but the judge must reconsider the length of the man’s prison term because of AI.

In 2021, Gabriel Horcasitas shot and killed Christopher Pelkey during a road rage incident. A jury found him guilty of manslaughter. During Horcasitas’ sentencing hearing, Pelkey’s sister Stacey Wales played an AI-generated video of her brother as part of her victim’s impact statement. In the video, which she scripted with her own words that she made an AI generated likeness of Pelkey say, the AI avatar of Pelkey forgives his killer and said they “could have been friends” in another life.



“I loved that video,” the judge said while handing down the maximum sentence of 10 and a half years.

Wales told 404 Media that her intent with the video was to sway the judge. “Isn’t that what you want human connection to be?” she said. “Do you ever come out of a movie and say: ‘Well, that was too emotional. That was too powerful. Human connection is powerful, and trying to convey that to somebody that’s never known another person, this person on the earth, to convey their lifetime of 37 years down to a two-hour sentencing event is hard to do, and I think that victims and victims’ families should be afforded every opportunity.”

EXCERPT:

This month’s edition of the ever-liberal Christian Century dumped a cover story imploring all God’s children to “understand polyamory” — a strained propaganda piece penned by a scholar puffing his upcoming book: Poly Theology: In Praise of Unnatural Love. It’s “an invitation to embrace an unnatural, unrepressed Christianity” as if anyone is seeking that. His essay ends with this claim: “[Polyamory] is here to stay, and it is past time for Christians to engage it thoughtfully, humbly, and openly.” He is not a lone voice.

Andrew Amelang leads the Libertarian Party of Texas and is the father of 12 children. He’s also a worship leader for an organization called “Biblical Families.” His official biography at the group’s website proudly boasts he has a wife named Cheryl and two very long-term live-in girlfriends, Ginny and Ann. He calls it “plural marriage,” but of course it’s not. No civilized society that honors women tolerates collecting them. Amelang is a polyamorist, persuading women normative monogamy is not in their best interest.

Polyamory is unfortunately having its day.

Eleven U.S. cities now proudly offer the poly-minded various bundles of legal protections. Seattle’s clownish city council was the latest to do so, giving the movement its first truly landmark development.

Seattle unanimously beknighted group-sex participants with legal protected class status and deemed it a new sexual orientation. You read that right. The proposal was signed into law by Seattle’s mayor on Sept. 18. You have to read the city clerk’s official explainer to grasp just how unhinged and expansive this is. The ordinance:

amend[s] the definition of the sexual orientation protected class to recognize gender identities outside the gender binary, recognize pansexuality and asexuality as orientations, and include consensual relationships with multiple partners as an element of attitudes, preferences, and practices pertaining to sexual orientation.

Scientists have uncovered stunning new evidence that remnants of a massive ancient supercontinent are buried beneath Antarctica’s vast ice sheet.

The discovery suggests the frozen continent is hiding fragments of Himalaya-scale mountain ranges that may have helped trigger the rapid expansion of life on Earth roughly half a billion years ago.

Two geologists from Australian National University uncovered evidence of material left behind during the formation of Gondwana, the enormous southern supercontinent that once joined modern-day Africa, South America, Antarctica, Australia, and the Indian subcontinent.

The findings were published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters.

The hidden geological remnants could transform scientists’ understanding of the processes that drove the Cambrian explosion, a period marked by the rapid appearance and evolution of complex life in Earth’s fossil record.

Simon Andriesz had exposed previously undisclosed links between Jeffrey Epstein and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick

The sudden death of a British whistleblower who helped expose previously undisclosed links between Jeffrey Epstein and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has triggered calls for an independent investigation into how he was treated by UK regulators.

Simon Andriesz, a 57-year-old former managing director at the brokerage BGC Partners, spent years fighting his former employer and Britain’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) over allegations of financial misconduct and retaliation against whistleblowers. His family said there is no suggestion of foul play after he died by suspected suicide in Thailand on September 23.

Andriesz had begun raising concerns about alleged accounting irregularities at BGC as early as 2016. He later accused the FCA of failing to properly investigate his disclosures and protect him after his identity became known to the company. The regulator subsequently acknowledged that it had wrongly advised him that he was not entitled to whistleblower protections and apologized.

Trump, AI Tech Leaders Promise to be Responsible

President Trump held an AI summit at the White House where he and tech leaders from Elon Musk to Mark Zuckerberg agreed to self-govern their roll-out of AI.

The President has held that holding back AI will allow China to dominate us, and that includes militarily. The move appears intended to ward off any legislative efforts to limit AI. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-AR) appeared to cosign the agreement, claiming “The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future.”

President Donald Trump and some of the world’s most prominent technology executives signed the White House Accord on Super Intelligence on Tuesday, establishing voluntary standards aimed at oversight, transparency and accountability as the industry rapidly develops advanced technology.

The agreement came the same day Trump signed an executive order officially rebranding artificial intelligence as “Super Intelligence.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson unveiled the accord outside the West Wing alongside executives including xAI’s Elon Musk, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang. The announcement followed a private luncheon attended by Trump, Johnson, Cabinet officials and technology leaders.

“The super intelligence providers are committed to building trust as they help us build the future,” Johnson said, adding that the executives were prepared to “take accountability and ownership.”

Johnson described the agreement as a voluntary statement of principles establishing expectations for “robust internal controls and layers of internal and external review.” He said Congress and the White House would continue working to guide the industry’s development in a safe manner.

Trump compared the accord to a constitution and praised the executives for coming together.

“They love our country, they love the world,” Trump said. “And they came together, and they did something … it’s almost like a constitution in a way.”

But security experts warn that the withdrawal could give Iran and its allies free rein, while also allowing a comeback for ISIS.
