Germany's Chancellor Merz:

They want to transform this republic toward the far right, and we must oppose that as well.

Anyone from our ranks who believes that such people should be elected to public office has absolutely no place in the CDU of Germany.

Absolutely none.

WATCH: German Chancellor Merz faced a call to resign from a delegate of his own CDU youth wing at a party conference in Bonn today.

The delegate accused Merz of betraying younger generations through pension policies and government debt, arguing that public trust in him had collapsed.

“If you care so much about your country and your party, get into your official car, drive to the federal president and ask to be dismissed,” he said.

Merz did not address the resignation demand.

NEW: An explosion hit a Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq with the PMF blaming a stockpile of damaged ammunition.

Some local sources and social media accounts claimed the site was hit by an airstrike, but there has been no claim of responsibility and no confirmation of a strike.

PMF sites across Iraq have been hit repeatedly this year by airstrikes attributed to the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Chinese-made rental cars reportedly recorded sensitive NATO military operations in Norway.

Troop movements, military locations, and even security gate codes were captured on camera…

Without soldiers knowing.

And despite the potential security breach, the military kept using the cars.

Zelensky:

The lifting of sanctions against Russia will continue. The diesel deal is only the first step.

Zelensky says Starlink terminals shut down at speeds above 161 km/h in Ukraine, while tests show they continue working above 180 km/h in the EU.

He calls the restrictions a “planned operation,” saying they prevent Ukraine from using some interceptor drones against jet-powered Shaheds and delivering supplies to isolated frontline positions.

Canada's Carney:

We've got to take care of ourselves, and we always take care of each other. That's what we are as Canadians. We stand up for ourselves.

Where else in the world can I trade? Instead of going north-south, why don't I go east and why don't I go west and build more independence, more options for myself as a business?

Canada's Carney:

We trade more with the U.S. than elsewhere. A number of our other relationships, some of our defense relationships, technology relationships, have a high degree of integration with the United States.

That creates real leverage over Canada. And in some cases, the United States administration has either used that leverage or threatened to use that leverage.

Hillary Clinton:

People ask me all the time, are we going to be able to rebuild and repair the damage? I hope so, but it's going to take time because a lot of people feel that they've been let down, maybe even lied to from time to time.

And that's not just a problem of our government. That's really a national problem.

We have to restore our trustworthiness in order to restore our leadership.

JD Vance:

Some reporter will come and say, "Well, Donald Trump said this terrible thing. Do you disavow it?"

And then I'll go and look at what he said. I'll be like, "Actually, not only do I not disavow it, you're lying about what he said. And what he actually said is totally correct. It's 100% right."

UKMTO reports that a tanker is struck by an unknown projectile 68 nautical miles northeast of Al Jubayl, Saudi Arabia.

Trump:

I am pleased to announce that Katie Zacharia will be beginning her term as Press Secretary tomorrow, Columbus Day, and will be doing an introductory News Conference on Tuesday at 9:30 A.M. from the Press Briefing Room in the White House.

Katie has been with me, in spirit, from the very beginning, and will do a fantastic job!

Türkiye Bans Foreign EVs From Major Defense Facilities over Security Risks

Four major Turkish defense companies have barred foreign electric vehicles from entering their facilities over concerns that onboard cameras, sensors and software could pose surveillance and cybersecurity risks.

NOW: Iran appears to have fired missiles again.

Target not yet confirmed.

BIG: Iran appears more confident after six months of war with the U.S., according to recent U.S. intelligence assessments.

Tehran believes it has learned the limits of American military power, retained enough missiles and drones to keep fighting, and gained leverage by disrupting the Strait of Hormuz.

The broader assessment is that Iran sees little reason to negotiate now.

Instead, it may try to prolong the conflict through the U.S. midterm elections, betting that high energy prices, casualties and an unpopular war will weaken President Trump politically.

The UN says the world will likely warm more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels within the next few years.

This means the planet will pass a level of warming linked to more severe heat, floods, droughts, rising seas, and other climate impacts.

The goal now is to stop temperatures from rising too far above 1.5°C.

Trump:

Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple - And you haven’t seen anything yet! EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOB IN AUGUST.

Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!

A STRONG COUNTRY MEANS A LOWER INTEREST RATE - IT’S A BETTER CREDIT…Very simple! We should have the LOWEST RATE of any country in the World, like “the old days.”

Without the United States agreeing to allow them their big surpluses, and we could stop that immediately, they would no longer be considered financially ELITE!

LOWER THE RATE OR I’LL STOP TRADING WITH COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAVE A DEFICIT, which the U.S. Supreme Court, in its ridiculous and very costly Tariff decision, strongly acknowledged “the President” has an absolute right to do.

IT’S BETTER THAN TARIFFS! The Fed Board, with its great new leader, must get smart - BE PATRIOTS for a change.

High interest rates put the U.S.A. at a very unfair disadvantage, and I won’t allow that to happen!
