🚨 NEW: Fox’s @BretBaier on midterm polling: “If this doesn’t turn out how we think it’s gonna turn out, is this the end of polling? Are people just PO’d about polls?” Alex Castellanos (Republican consultant): “There are a lot of pollsters, I think, who are trading in all their interview mechanism for crockpots right now because it’s so unpredictable.” “But, for example in Iowa, I’m hearing from pollsters that it is polling hell. It is incredibly difficult to get Republicans to respond to a text or a phone call.” “What does that mean? Does that mean that they don’t trust pollsters and the establishment and the media? They think they’re on the other side? Or does that mean they’re upset at the president and they’re not gonna say? I mean, you could read it both ways. I could, and right now we don’t know,” adds @alexcast. Bret: “The president looks at the people showing up at the rallies and reads it the latter. But, you know, we don’t know yet.”

🚨Prospector 5 Sinks Off Gabon: A Real-World Reminder of Offshore Risks and Real Costs The Prospector 5 jack-up, owned by Borr Drilling and working for BW Energy on the Dussafu Marin license, sank Saturday night off Mayumba, Gabon, during routine preload and jacking operations. Preliminary reports point to a classic punch-through: One or more legs suddenly penetrating weaker seabed sediments, causing loss of stability. Of the 115 people on board, 110 have been accounted for. Five remain missing, with one fatality confirmed. Search efforts continue. No pollution or damage to the nearby MaBoMo production facility has been reported. This is the unglamorous reality of offshore development: complex geotechnical conditions, high-spec equipment, and people working in demanding environments. Punch-throughs are a known risk in jack-up operations, which is why preload testing exists in the first place. Key points: ◾️Asset value: Analysts estimate Borr’s carrying value for a rig like this at roughly $100–106 million. A new comparable premium jack-up would cost around $300 million to build. Hull-and-machinery insurance is typically placed on an agreed-value basis, so the net balance-sheet hit may be limited once the payout is determined. ◾️Contract impact: The rig was under a firm ~320-day contract (plus options) at fleet average dayrates near $134,000. Lost revenue and any delay to BW Energy’s Phase 2 drilling program are the more immediate cash-flow concerns, potentially mitigated by loss-of-hire coverage or redeployment of another unit. ◾️Broader context: Dussafu is a producing asset supporting Gabon’s oil output and fiscal revenues. Temporary production shut-ins and schedule slips matter more to local economics and company cash flow than the headline loss of one 2014-built jack-up. Market reaction: Borr shares dropped 8–10% on the news. That pricing largely reflects uncertainty around insurance recovery and near-term earnings, not the destruction of irreplaceable capacity. Offshore oil and gas development continues because the energy is needed and the industry has long experience managing these risks. Insurance, engineering standards, safety, and operational protocols exist for a reason. The investigation will determine the precise sequence; the financial outcome will hinge on the insurance settlement, not the replacement cost of the steel.

Reminder: There is one big exception to the current situation in energy markets - with high prices, tight supplies, etc. - it's U.S. natural gas.

BREAKING: Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei demands an end to the "neither war nor peace" situation with the United States.

🚫 CLAIM: The navy commander for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps recently claimed that U.S. forces have abandoned the Strait of Hormuz by moving hundreds of "kilometers" away. This is FALSE. ✅ FACT: U.S. forces deployed to the Middle East remain present and vigilant in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding waters, as demonstrated by the CENTCOM commander this weekend. U.S. forces and regional partners control the international waterway — clearly not Iran.

This year alone, more Christians have been killed by Muslims in Nigeria than Gazans in three years of war. Not a single Muslim or pro-Palestinian activist has protested like they do for Gaza. Weird.

This article is just another exercise in turning lawful traffic stops and immigration status checks into a morality play. Choosing to enforce the law is not “tearing the town apart,” it is the natural result of what happens when smaller communities are overwhelmed by illegal immigration. It is what Americans overwhelmingly voted for. Our 287(g) law enforcement partners are essential for immigration enforcement. The law is clear, the mission continues, and we don’t apologize for it.
