As Thursday morning begins, all the weather watchers are focused on that unpronounceable storm in the Gulf. It's coming ashore tomorrow, that is for sure, the question is where it will make landfall. Current models put it making landfall at Pensacola, but that is subject to change.
The other question is how much of the SEC is it going to disrupt? Will it take out Georgia at Alabama, will it disrupt LSU at Kentucky? The big question is timing. And power outages. There are plenty of smaller schools in the path of the storm and many of them have games scheduled in lesser conferences.
The weather falls on everyone equally. The rich and the poor, the strong and the feeble. It simply seems to hurt the poor and feeble more often. If I lived in Mobile or Pensacola, I would be considering a weekend trip. Somewhere west and away from the coast.
After leaving the SUV on the railroad tracks, the suspect walked to Dixie Road, where he approached a passing motorist and allegedly attempted to enter the vehicle and take it from the driver.
The motorist, a Rankin County resident who owns and operates a firearms store and firearms training facility in Flowood, feared for his safety and produced a firearm. The citizen held the suspect at gunpoint until Rankin County deputies arrived and took him into custody without further incident.
Investigators determined Bumcon and Deangelo Robinson had allegedly been following a man while he was making Uber deliveries. Police said the victim tried to get away before reaching a dead-end road, where Bumcon and Robinson began firing at his vehicle.
Police said the victim returned fire as the encounter continued. More than 60 rounds were fired in total.
We recently lost Evan Marshall, a valued friend and a famous cop. Evan Marshall was a strong and early voice in the officer survival training movement, and is believed to have originated the term “street survival.” He passed a few days before his 84th birthday.Evan’s solid advice in gun magazines and law enforcement professional journals […]
So they sent me for a PET scan, to see if the cancer had spread. It hadn't. Nice.
A PET scan is kind of like an MRI, but first they inject a die that gets absorbed by cancer tumors. A radioactive die. It came encased in a big lead shield. I thought they're going to inject that into me? Yup.
I also got the first of the hormone injections. It wasn't bad, and the only real side effects have been fatigue. The Lupron starts at the end of the month; that's where I expect side effects.
They're scheduling a spacer, which is a gel injected next to the prostate. It will let them be more accurate with the Death Ray beam, keeping it focused on the lesions and not zapping parts of me I want to keep. Radiation will be every day starting in 2 or 3 weeks and will go probably until the end of the year.
All in all, not as fun as a barrel of monkeys but not so bad so far.
By Dave Workman The smoke hasn’t quite yet cleared in Seattle more than two months after a deadly shooting on the final day of the annual “Bite of Seattle” food fest, and socialist Democrat Mayor Katie Wilson increasingly appears to be sailing a rudderless ship with not many oars in the water. A report in […]
The post Months After ‘Bite of Seattle’ Shooting, More Questions than Answers appeared first on Liberty Park Press.
By Dave Workman Published reports have revealed that the billionaire-backed Everytown for Gun Safety gun prohibition lobbying group is “teaming up with House Democrats on a $10 million ad campaign” to support gun control advocates now running for Congress. Axios is identifying these candidates as “former volunteers for Moms Demand Action,” a subsidiary of Everytown. […]
The post REPORT: Everytown Dumps $10M to Support Democrats appeared first on Liberty Park Press.
President Donald Trump’s remarks about the possibility that Iran could “take out” Los Angeles and San Diego have sparked a firestorm of criticism, with Democrats claiming the president was either calling for a foreign adversary to attack the U.S. or portraying the destruction of two major cities as acceptable collateral damage.
But given the full context — as well as Trump’s numerous past comments on this issue and the White House’s later clarification — that’s not our reading of the president’s comments. While his wording is confusing, a more plausible interpretation is that he meant the war would prevent Iran from posing a threat to U.S. cities, and higher gas prices are a small sacrifice to make. He’s made versions of those points before, using similar language.
Trump’s remarks came during an Oct. 5 rally in Nebraska.
“Remember, with the war, it’s just artificial. It’s a little bit high,” he said, apparently referencing gas prices. “It’s a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe. They could take out a city. Let them take — let it — let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.
“That’s — this is a very small price to pay, and it’s going to be over with very soon,” he continued. “It’s essentially almost over with.”
Dear Clayton,
Thank you for helping us make discoveries together.
Working with researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, we found that people carrying a rare inherited genetic variant called EGFR T790M had roughly 25 times higher odds of developing lung cancer. That is equal to or higher than well-established inherited cancer risk variants such as those in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for breast and ovarian cancer.
These findings were recently published in the journal Science, in a peer-reviewed study titled 'Germline EGFR T790M mutation and lung cancer risk.' You can read the paper here.
Many people believe exposure to tobacco smoke is the only risk factor for lung cancer, but tens of thousands of Americans without this risk factor are diagnosed each year. For many people the question of why has had no good answer. This study is a step toward one.
What we discovered together:
• Researchers identified EGFR T790M as the largest known single genetic risk factor for lung cancer. This could have important implications for genetic testing and future lung cancer screening strategies for people who carry the variant.
• More common than anyone knew. Among more than 10 million research participants, 641 carried the variant. It remains rare, but that is about ten times more common than public genetic databases had reported.
• Specific to lung cancer. Often genetic variants that dramatically increase the risk of one cancer also increase the risk of other cancers, but for people with the EGFR T790M variant there were no significant associations with other frequent cancers, such as breast, prostate or colorectal cancer. This finding could help people with this variant know the specific, targeted screening they may need.
• A window into American history. By combining genetics with ancestry and geography, our researchers traced the variant to British and Irish settlers who migrated to the Southeastern United States. Regional expansion and demographic isolation led to a founder effect, where a small group is genetically separated from a larger population, in the Southern Appalachian region, making the variant far more common among their descendants. Participants with Southern U.S. ancestry were about six times more likely to carry this variant. This is a striking example of how our ancestors' origins can remain relevant to our health generations later.
Data analyzed in the study includes participants in the Lung Cancer Genetics Study, which is funded by the Susan Wojcicki Foundation and powered by the 23andMe Research Institute in collaboration with 22 lung cancer advocacy organizations. To learn more about the study, our collaborators, and eligibility criteria, visit the study landing page.
This kind of research is only possible at scale. By answering our research surveys, you help make discoveries like this possible. On behalf of the 23andMe Research Institute, thank you for being part of this journey.

Yesterday while posting, I blindly asked Copilot what the next storm name might be, and it told me Cristobal. Imagine my surprise when I awakened this morning and find that the tropical depression has been named Isaias. So much for AI, I suppose. I need todo better research.
At any rate, we have another named storm, and this one is predicted to become a hurricane. Which means we have a cone.
That is an interesting cone, if only for the prediction that it is headed for the Gret Lakes. It appears that this one is headed for the Mississippi coast, but as always this is subject to change.
Tucked away in the small town of Berryville, Arkansas sits Wilson Combat. One of the premier manufactuers in the entire shooting industry.This hurricane season has been mild, to say the least. This is the first year I can remember when we have gotten into October without a hurricane. Maybe that is about to change, as we are watching a storm that everyone is convinced will soon organize into something bigger. The tracks I've seen has it coming ashore this weekend, somewhere between southeast Louisiana and Pensacola, FL.
At this point, everything is subject to change and we will have to keep an eye on it. If this thing organizes, it will become Cristobal.

On Oct. 1, a Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet that flew from the USS Abraham Lincoln on combat missions in the Iran war was spotted returning home to California with an unusual kill marking. Above rows of other icons representing bombs the plane had dropped was a submarine split in half, embossed with the words “Sub Buster.”
Three adults — two men and a woman — were held for questioning. Police said two of them, a man and a woman, came home that night and found Jones in a bed upstairs. A third man was already inside the home when they arrived and said he had not noticed anything unusual before Jones was found.
An argument broke out between the three men, and Jones was shot, police said. Jones did not appear to know any of the three adults involved, according to investigators.
On Friday afternoon, NOPD officials confirmed that the man who opened fire did so because the person was trying to break into his house. Officers believe he was defending himself and others during the incident.
They said the man who fired shots will not face charges and that he is cooperating with officers.
Robert Loesch, 52, was arrested on one count of attempted second-degree murder and one count of first-degree assault, according to a Lafayette news release updated Saturday. Lafayette Police and the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office reviewed video footage and talked to witnesses before arresting him, the release says.
On Thursday, police responded to the 1500 block of Sidon Circle after learning that someone may have been shot. When officers got there, they learned that a resident, later identified as Loesch, shot a boy who Loesch said was trying to break into his home, the release says.

The post Preparedness Notes — October 6, 2026 appeared first on SurvivalBlog.com.
I have always had an active interest in survival. I have always tried to look at the big picture without bias. Previously, I prepared for vague, generalized threats. Within the last year, however, the world situation has dramatically changed – threats have become more specific, easily identifiable, significant, and realistic. In other words, the present world situation makes prepping more meaningful, practical, and necessary than ever before. We need to cast off our “Normality Bias” complacency of “everything is going to be okay, just like it’s always been” and take measured actions to prepare for what is probably coming. I’m …
