At least 11 people have been killed and 15 injured in an attack on a training range in Russia's Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine, the Defense Ministry said on Saturday. The incident was a "terrorist act," it added.

Two suspects have been killed on the spot in retaliatory fire, the ministry explained. Officials further explained that they have been identified as "citizens of a member of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS)."

The CIS includes most former Soviet republics, except for the Baltic States, Ukraine, Georgia and Turkmenistan. The latter is an associate member of the organization.

The Russian military has not provided any further details about the incident or the identities of the assailants.

According to RIA Novosti, the two attackers opened fire at a group of volunteer fighters during training at a firing range. The Defense Ministry has yet to confirm this information.

FDA confirms major Adderall shortage, restock will take months

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday confirmed what many Americans had already discovered the hard way: The country is experiencing a nationwide shortage of Adderall, the drug used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy.

The FDA said the shortage of "amphetamine mixed salts" -- the drug behind the brand name -- is driven in large part by manufacturing delays at the largest manufacturer: Israel-based Teva Pharmaceuticals.

Teva said the problems arose out of labor shortages that have been resolved.


Comment: Labor shortages elsewhere, such as in the airline and healthcare industry, can be directly traced back to the lockdowns and experimental covid vaccine mandates, and Israel enforced some of the most draconian restrictions on the planet.


However, the shortage persists, and the end isn't imminent: A Teva spokesperson told NBC News that patients should expect "inventory recovery in the coming months" and "intermittent delays through end of year."

Comment: Are we about to witness the consequences of forcing tens of millions of people, who are heavily reliant on a drug for their mental well-being, go cold turkey?

There are already numerous signs that the vulnerable and susceptible in Western societies are teetering on the edge of a mental breakdown.

The attack caused a fire at the oil storage facility, Belgorod Region's head Vyacheslav Gladkov said
An oil depot and a border checkpoint have been shelled in Russia's southern Belgorod Region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed on Saturday. The incident comes just a day after a missile struck a power station in the city of Belgorod, causing a major blaze at the site.

"We have another shelling. One of the shells struck an oil terminal," Gladkov wrote on his Telegram channel, adding later that the fire that followed the attack had been extinguished. No casualties have been reported.

Earlier on Saturday, the governor used his Telegram channel to claim that 14 shells had been fired at a customs office in the border city of Shebekino, adding that no one was hurt.

Book review: Exposing the logical fallacies of Critical Race Theory

In a late September article for the Washington Post magazine, staff writer DeNeen L. Brown declared that she has "decided to eventually leave America." Though when or where she will go she "can't say for sure," she is "finally ready."

"I want to engage in intellectual debates without having to explain the history of this country's racism," she writes. "I want to live in a country where racism is not a constant threat."

There are other things about America that frustrate Brown. It's a country that "seem[s] to be increasingly dangerous for Black people" — an observation that is, in fact, true, though, as data indisputably demonstrates, this stems far more from black-on-black crime than it does from a supposedly "white supremacist" regime. Brown further bemoans "state laws banning the teaching of Critical Race Theory," which, she avers, amounts to "barring the teaching of historical truths."

Name and shame, local version: Greenwich Village 'hostage' situation ends after Post exposes unruly students

The lunchtime lunacy is over.

A band of high-school hooligans are no longer terrorizing Greenwich Village residents after The Post exposed the foul-mouthed, toy gun-toting rowdies earlier this month.

For at least a year while school is in session, the roughnecks loitered on stoops, rolled blunts, and menaced West 13th Street residents who had the nerve to question them.

The Post spotted the louts brandishing realistic-looking imitation guns, which they fired at frightened pedestrians. Neighbors — who said they felt like they were being held hostage — pointed to the fake TEC-9 semi-automatic pistols as a tragedy waiting to happen.

Comment: How it's done. But it should be asked, where is the school in this, and especially, where are the parents?


Alarm Clock

The 'pandemic' has paved the way for the new fascism of the global biosecurity state

smart phone helth pass qcode
We are - we are constantly being told - living in 'unprecedented times', facing 'unprecedented circumstances' requiring 'unprecedented measures' for which there is no historical precedent and because of which - is the unstated implication - those in power cannot be held to account for the consequences of their actions. 'Unprecedented', however, is one of those words that should set alarm-bells ringing, implying, as it does, that we are in a moment about which history can teach us nothing. History tells us that we should always be suspicious when those in power start claiming we are in a moment about which history can tell us nothing. The call to forget the past is always made in the service of power; but there are very few things that history cannot teach us. Once upon a time, we studied history precisely in order to learn from it, rather than stumbling around without memory in the apparently unprecedented newness of the present. Whether that present is a product of ignorance or deceit, the past inevitably has a lot to tell us about supposedly 'unprecedented' moments, and so it is with the coronavirus 'crisis'.

Industry stalls amid energy crisis - Bank of France

Almost all industrial sectors in France have recorded a drop in activity amid surging energy prices and growing uncertainty, a monthly business survey by the Bank of France released this week reveals.

The French regulator has polled 8,500 companies, who reported a stabilization instead of the expected slow growth. The ongoing energy crisis has had a significant negative impact on the country's industrial output, with some companies already resorting to layoffs.

As energy costs keep rising there's no optimism apparent, with business leaders predicting further stagnation in October. While services are scrambling to resist the crisis, according to the report, industrial sectors are facing a slowdown. The Bank of France has cut its economic growth assessment for the third quarter from 0.3% to 0.25%.

Electricity prices, which are linked to gas prices, have surged in France, putting a strain on factories and testing the limits of government measures to mitigate the higher costs.

House Democrats struggle to raise funds as Republicans continually break records

Democratic House candidates are struggling to find funding in heavily contested districts while Republicans continue to break fundraising records all over the country, according to Politico.

Heavily contested House districts in Texas, California, Arizona and Pennsylvania have reported that they are not receiving funding from Democratic PACs just three weeks from the midterms, Politico reported. Meanwhile, Republican PACs have ramped up their funding pouring millions of dollars into various races across the country.

The Democratic PACs have stopped supporting their own candidates resulting in campaign impacts quickly diminishing, Politico reported. In one case, retiring Arizona Democratic Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick questioned the Democratic PAC's for refusing to back her replacement Kristen Engle.

"I know with every bone in my body that Engel will win this district if we can get DCCC investing sooner. I understand the impossible decisions they have to make each cycle but coming in late and undervaluing this race is a huge mistake. This is a seat we keep blue if we go big now," Kirkpatrick said on TV after Republicans spent $1.3 million on candidate Juan Ciscomani, according to Politico.

National Democratic PACs have stopped airing TV ads in the majority of 14 Republican-held districts, Politico reported. "The number one factor here is money. If we had more money, yeah, I'd feel much better about a bunch of places. But of course, there are other things. It's not the be-all, end-all," Tim Persico, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said, according to the outlet.

Raleigh shooting

Five people were killed and two others injured after a gunman opened fire on a walking trail in Raleigh, North Carolina, local officials said, prompting a police chase through residential areas that lasted for hours.

Raleigh Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin confirmed the casualties during a news conference on Thursday night, noting that an off-duty police officer was among those killed. Police also said two people with injuries were hospitalized for treatment, one of whom remains in critical condition, and that the suspect was apprehended around 9:30pm local time. He has been identified only as a white male juvenile.

"Tonight, terror has reached our doorstep. The nightmare of every community has come to Raleigh," North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said at the same presser. "This is a senseless, horrific and infuriating act of violence that has been committed."

Comment: Raleigh shooting: District Attorney plans to charge 15-year-old suspect as an adult
A North Carolina district attorney is planning on charging the 15-year-old male suspect in Thursday's shooting in Raleigh, which left five people dead, as an adult.

Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman told Fox News Digital that she plans to charge the 15-year-old male suspect as an adult, "assuming he recovers."

The 15-year-old male, who hasn't been named by officials, is accused of opening fire in Raleigh near the Neuse River Greenway area shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday. After being "contained" by authorities, but not taken into custody, for a period of time on Thursday, the suspect was arrested.

According to Raleigh Police Chief Estella D. Patterson, the crime scene went on for "over 2 miles."

The five people who died in the shooting were identified as off-duty police officer Gabriel Torres, 29; James Roger Thompson, 16; Nicole Conners, 52; Susan Karnatz, 49; and Mary Marshall, 35.

Patterson said that Torres was headed to work when the shooting happened.

Two additional people, including an off-duty police officer, were wounded in the shooting.

"The shootings occurred in the streets in the neighborhood, and then the suspect fled towards the Greenway. And then we had some more victims who were shot in the Greenway," Patterson said during a press conference.

The shooting happened in the Hedingham neighborhood of Raleigh near Osprey Cove Drive and Bay Harbor Drive.

One resident, Sheri Thorn, told Fox News Digital that children in the area are "really friendly" and "love to play in the street."

"It's never been like this. This neighborhood has never been this way," Thorn said.

Anyone with information about the shooting are being asked to call 919-996-1193.

A North Carolina mother read from a graphic novel found in her child's seventh-grade classroom during an Oct. 12 school board meeting, according to video footage from the event.

The mother alleges that the book "This Book Is Gay," by Juno Dawson is available to seventh-grade students at a middle school in Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools. The book was allegedly found at Collingswood Middle School and allegedly on a recommended reading list at another school in the district.

Before reading the graphic novel, the mother insisted children leave the room before she read a chapter titled "The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex."

"I'm going to read from chapter nine, 'The Ins and Outs of Gay Sex,' starting at page 201, part 1, 'Boy-on-Boy Sex,'" the mother said. "'Perhaps the most important skill you will master as a gay or bi man is a timeless classic: the hand job. Good news is you can practice it on yourself. The bad news is, each guy has become very used to his own way of getting himself off.'"

"'A good handy is all about the wrist action. Rub the head of his cock back and forth with your head. Try different speeds and pressures until he responds positively,'" the book reads.
