\nDonald Trump Just Got Handed Proof of a Deeper Problem: Oil Is Flowing Out of the Gulf But Oil Prices Just Won\u2019t Come Down<\/a><\/h2>\nOil exports have returned near pre-war levels despite Iran\u2019s insistence that the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. This is partly because exporters are using alternative routes.
\n…<\/p>\n
Despite intensified strikes on shipping from Iran in recent weeks, smaller vessels have been able to transit through the Strait of Hormuz with their trackers turned off.
\n…<\/p>\n
Despite U.S. optimism, shipowners and captains remain reluctant to risk damage to their vessels and crews, leaving some cargo stranded in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n
… Brent crude<\/a>, the global benchmark for oil, has remained above $100 per barrel for much of October.

\nMAGA Republican Forced to Concede Elon Musk and Melania Trump Could Be Deported<\/a><\/h2>\n…
\nBerlie pressed the Republican on his dodge and finally got a concession: \u201cI think anyone who was not honest in their immigration paperwork.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MAGA Republican was quick to add, \u201cI don\u2019t know anything about the circumstances of the first lady or Elon Musk; I don\u2019t know that there\u2019s ever been allegations.\u201d
\n…<\/p>\n
Musk himself once described his past immigration status as a “gray area” during a 2013 conference, though he has consistently denied allegations that he worked illegally, writing on his platform that he was “in fact allowed to work in the US”.
\n…<\/p>\n
As for Melania Trump, questions have been raised about her qualifying for a so-called \u201cEinstein visa\u201d as they are reserved for individuals with “extraordinary ability” in sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics.

\nLetters from an American – October 27, 2026<\/a><\/h2>\nOn Sunday a student-led democratic movement ousted Serbia\u2019s Aleksandar Vu\u010di\u0107, a key ally of Russia\u2019s president Vladimir Putin, from power. Today Serbian TV started its news program by apologizing to viewers. \u201cFor years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also on Sunday, right-wing presidential candidate Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro lost to leftist incumbent Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. Despite what appears to have been the restriction by Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, of social media accounts that promoted Lula and its promotion of pro-Bolsonaro accounts, Lula pulled out a victory.
\n…<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, concerns are circulating about a manipulation of information in the U.S. before the midterm election, similar to what happened in Brazil. …
