President Donald Trump promoted a pastor’s biblical defense of livestreaming Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan’s execution on Saturday, even as the president said he would personally decide whether the controversial broadcast goes ahead.
Trump reposted a report featuring Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of First Baptist Dallas and a longtime Trump ally, who argued that the public execution would demonstrate the sanctity of human life.
The post sharpened a divide among religious leaders after Pope Leo XIV reiterated the Catholic Church’s opposition to capital punishment and the head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops directly condemned the proposed livestream.
It also came as opposition widened among Democratic lawmakers and some Republicans who support executing Hasan but oppose livestreaming it.

Watch: Florida thrashed as Hurricane Isaias makes landfall
Four people have died and hundreds of thousands are without power after Hurricane Isaias battered parts of the southern US with powerful winds and heavy rain.
Officials reported two deaths each in the states of Alabama and Florida, which included people who were killed when trees fell on their houses.
An estimated 500,000 people in total were without power in several states as of Saturday evening, according to tracker PowerOutage.
Isaias made landfall in Florida late on Friday with maximum sustained winds of 105mph (168km/h) before being downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone.
The storm felled trees and ripped the roofs off buildings. Alabama, Florida and Georgia all declared states of emergency ahead of its arrival, while both Florida and Alabama issued mandatory evacuation orders to thousands of people.
Meanwhile, Hurricane Simon is bearing down on Mexico's Pacific coast and has strengthened to category four. It is expected to make landfall sometime overnight.
Tropical Storm Rachel, also in the Pacific Ocean, is expected to hit southern California later on Saturday.

Mamdani advisor’s secret Cuba diary exposes anti-US plot, luxe trip
By David Spector
Published Oct. 11, 2026, 5:13 a.m. ET
A friend and advisor to socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani met with the president of Cuba during a luxe trip to the communist nation — where they conspired to subvert US foreign policy, according to a since-deleted travel diary obtained by The Post.
Danny Valdez, who hosted a fundraiser for Mamdani’s mayoral campaign in 2025, traveled to Cuba with a delegation from the DSA International Committee from Oct. 22 to Oct. 26, 2023, according to the Nov. 9, 2023 blog post, entitled “The Cuba Diaries.”
The delegation met with President Miguel Diaz-Canel on the third day of the trip with the purpose of partnering to end the US embargo, in place since 1962, three years after Fidel Castro imposed a communist dictatorship on the island, he recalled.

“It was genuinely a big accomplishment for our delegation that this meeting took place. It was a sign that the Cuban government took our organization seriously and saw us as potential partners in the work of ending the US blockade,” Valdez wrote.
During the meeting, the Cuban president whined about the US-imposed blockade.
“No other country has to operate under such conditions. Vietnam and China are not under blockade, and are able to develop their approach to socialism,” Diaz-Canel said, according to Valdez.

City-Backed Festival Let a Man STRIP for Cash in Front of CHILDREN
184 views
A small city in upstate New York sponsored a “family friendly” arts festival, then stood by while grown men stripped down and took cash tips a few feet from toddlers. Rather than issuing an apology, the Democratic mayor issued a lecture on free speech.
Footage from the September 19 City of the Hills Festival in Oneonta now circulating online shows one performer peeling off clothing, working the crowd for money, and dancing like a stripper in Muller Plaza, a public downtown space.
Local parents have started a petition. City Hall has treated their objection as the real problem.
The hour-long show was billed by organizers as “Draglesque to Downtown.” It was put on by the Community Arts Network of Oneonta and held on the plaza’s stage area during a festival that, according to a Daily Caller report, drew sponsorship from the City of Oneonta and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Advertisements did not warn that stripteases were part of the act. Videos and photos reviewed by the Caller show toddlers and young children seated just feet from the performers.
One performer, identified on Facebook as Teejae Dee, stripped down to a thong-style costume, did floorwork, climbed across picnic tables, and took money from the audience.
Dee promoted the slot in advance as a “Sickening Showcase,” with shows at 4 p.m. Asked whether the performance was appropriate for children, the organization did not answer.

Churches' Commission for Migrants in Europe
Refugees and migration
What were your biggest takeaways from the conference?
Dr Moritz: We met 28-30 September with some 30 participants representing churches from all over Europe. Discussions were around a draft paper outlining what elements of an alternative, protection-oriented asylum system in Europe could look like – a system which protects people more than borders.
These were very earnest discussions. They showed how important it is in asylum policy and practice to put the human being first - and how often this is not the case in Europe these days. There is thus great support for the draft paper. At the same time, there is a fear that any policy reform might even more be influenced by the extreme right and those following their agenda. Last not least, the message protecting people more than borders is a good common message, but it needs to be translated and contextualised into the different languages and contexts of churches in Europe.
What is the most crucial information for churches to know right now?
Dr Moritz: We – that is the CCME office and a task force from among members – will be working with the input we received from churches in Europe.
In early 2027 we will make an updated version of the proposals for an alternative asylum system in Europe available. It will be mainly policy-oriented and will contain specific suggestions for organising recognition of people asking for protection in Europe, their reception and integration, how this can happen while social cohesion increases, and how it doesn’t have to cost more than the current policy of dissuasion. The proposals are informed by good practices, as we could for example find them in the protection of Ukrainians fleeing in and since 2022. We will present an outline which shows that protecting people is not an a lofty illusion, but a real option if we dare to be values-based and realistic at the same time.
We will also provide accompanying information templates – like an explanation of policy proposals in a less technical language, which non-expert church members and members of the public can relate to. Throughout 2027, we will spread this information—online but also through events across Europe – to a church audience and policymakers, but also a broader public.
What is your urgent call to churches?
Dr Moritz: First of all, continue your work around the principle of protecting people more than borders. With hardening of policy and practice towards the most vulnerable, damage control is essential. Churches in many places make a different for upholding the dignity of persons seeking protection in Europe, while working to uphold social cohesion for all.
And, secondly, work with us on making an alternative asylum system a reality. Let us know what will help you in making an argument for a policy which prioritises protecting people – what information do you need, do you want us to visit and explain, and whom would you like to reach with your arguments? We all know that times are difficult and our resource at different levels are limited, but if we work together, we can have impact!

Hurricane Isaias Strikes Destin | 668K Without Power, 9-FT Surge & Deadly Flash Floods
🔴 Hurricane Isaias Strikes Destin | 668K Without Power, 9-FT Surge & Deadly Flash Floods

Mrman Extreme Weather
Oct 10, 2026
Hurricane Isaias made landfall in Destin, Florida late Thursday night — packing 105 MPH sustained winds, a devastating 9-foot storm surge, and catastrophic flash flooding across the Gulf Coast. As of this morning, 668,000 customers are without power across Florida and Alabama, with Mobile County and Baldwin County taking the hardest hit. Flash Flood Emergencies were issued across southern Okaloosa County as 4–7 inches of rain dropped in just hours. Storm surge warnings remain active from the Alabama-Florida border to Grayton Beach. Isaias is now pushing north through Alabama at 20 MPH — tornado watches, additional flooding, and downed power lines are still active threats RIGHT NOW.
This is the first U.S. hurricane landfall in two years — and it happened fast. Isaias went from a tropical depression to a Category 2 in just 48 hours, thanks to record-warm Gulf waters and collapsed wind shear. The Gulf was basically rocket fuel.
⚠️ Turn Around, Don’t Drown. 12 inches of water can float your car. 2 feet will sweep away an SUV. Do NOT drive around barricades — the road may be completely washed out underneath.
Stay safe. Monitor weather.gov, floridadisaster.org, or ema.alabama.gov for real-time updates.
Lesson learned: hurricane season isn’t over until it’s over. One quiet season can end in 48 hours. Have your go-bag ready, know your evacuation zone, and never wait for the last warning.
Peter Thiel slams Obama, Pope Leo in new ‘Antichrist’ lectures
The tech billionaire accused them of using AI concerns to “boost their own popularity,” according to recordings obtained by POLITICO.

Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is escalating his attacks on critics of artificial intelligence, accusing former President Barack Obama and the pope of exploiting the public’s fears about AI, according to exclusive recordings of closed-door lectures obtained by Decoded by POLITICO.
In a new series of talks in Nashville, Thiel singled out the two leaders as he sharpened his warnings about the Antichrist — a figure who he sees as stopping the progress of technology and advocating for a “one world government” of regulation.
“Many people know that AI is politically unpopular and want to leverage that to boost their own popularity,” Thiel said. “Both Obama and the pope fall into this category. Obama knows the Democrats have no ideas,
but they can at least oppose AI.”
The former president recently urged Democrats to come up with a more comprehensive plan on AI.
Thiel was even more critical of Pope Leo XIV, suggesting his focus on AI was an attempt to divert attention from the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse scandals.
“He needed something politically popular to distract from the church’s child sex abuse scandals, and he found it in AI,” Thiel said, referring to the pope’s first encyclical on AI.
