In the latest stop on a promotion tour for his new book, How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents, RINO Senator Thom Tillis (NC) went on another anti-Trump tirade for 12 minutes on NBC this morning, taking aim at Trump’s foreign policy. 

Tillis can’t help but root against Trump.

Today, it was Trump’s agreement to import diesel fuel from Russia, which he announced on Friday after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I completely reject it,” Tillis said, describing the ongoing conflict as “an illegal war that was initiated by the despot that we know as Vladimir Putin.”

“Look, I was over in Ukraine a couple of weeks ago with a couple of my colleagues. We went to Kharkiv. We heard stories of systematic kidnap and relocation of children, rape of women and daughters in the presence of their husband before they were executed,” he claimed.

“If President Trump wants to end the strain of energy supplies, number one, get things right in Iran, and number two, recognize that it was Vladimir Putin, not Zelensky, that started this war, and it’s Vladimir Putin who owns the responsibility for energy prices to the extent that they come from that part of the world.”

He further accused Trump of “tarnishing Lindsey Graham’s efforts to try and get the sanctions bill through.”

Asked whether he thinks Trump’s waiver of sanctions violates the law, Tillis said he will be putting out a statement with New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen to pressure Trump into reversing the deal, claiming it has “deadly consequences.”

“I do believe there’s a legitimate case for saying the president’s not following the law,” he said, calling on Russia to end the war by “backing out” of all territory they’ve occupied since the beginning.

Asked if the deal will put American lives at risk, Tillis said, “it absolutely will. My goodness!” while highlighting Putin’s “cozy relationship” with Iran over the years.

“I will guarantee you at the first opportunity Putin has to embarrass or undermine President Trump, he will,” he added.

Texas Democratic Senate Nominee James Talarico broke his silence on his two-week hiatus this afternoon in interviews with NBC and MS Now, swearing that he “just had the flu” as claims that he was suffering a mental health episode continue to circulate. 

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on allegations that Talarico was admitted to a mental institution in Ohio during his mysterious absence. An employee at the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio, allegedly confirmed on Saturday during a recorded phone call that Talarico had been “just discharged” from the facility. However, Talarico’s team denied the claim, saying “Talarico was home in Austin, Texas recovering from the flu.”

Talarico previously claimed, from a hotel room somewhere, that he had been diagnosed with a flu so bad that he went to an urgent care in Dallas during a virtual appearance at a United States Hispanic Business Council forum on September 30.

"I was starting to feel kind of under the weather a few days ago, and last night it got so bad that I went to the urgent care here in Dallas," he said. "And I was diagnosed with the flu, and so uh I'm running a fever, and I'm my most contagious uh right now."

Now, he's changed his story, saying, "I just went to my primary care physician, but it wasn't anything worse than, you know, a nasty case of the flu." So, was it urgent care in Dallas or a primary care physician at his home in Austin?

When asked by Dallas-Fort Worth-based NBC reporter Phil Prazan to explain his absence, Talarico said, "Yeah, I got the flu, and I'm feeling much better, and I'm glad I had a chance to recover."

"That's not true," he said of the claim that he was in a mental hospital. "I just had the flu, and I feel much better. But it's a good reminder that you can't believe everything you read on the internet."

Talarico further maintained that he's ready to debate Republican Senate Nominee Ken Paxton and called on Paxton to meet him on a stage. "You know, I've heard rumors that he has a rare medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. So, I know Ken Paxton has asked for proof of life for me; I'm asking for proof of spine from him," he said.

He also used the same pre-rehearsed lines in an interview with MS Now's Rosa Flores this afternoon.

"I had the flu. This is the craziest thing I've ever heard. It's wild that someone can just put something on the internet and then the media just runs with it," he said. "You know, I've heard credible reports that Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice... He has asked for proof of life from me; I'm asking for proof of spine from him."

A man was arrested on Sunday after he fatally stabbed his parents in their Indianapolis home on Sunday.

The unidentified suspect stabbed his parents shortly after 12 noon.

Officers arrived to the residence in the 2800 block of Lakeshire Lane near Township Line Road and found two victims suffering from stab wounds.

The suspect’s mother was pronounced dead at the scene, and his father was transported to a hospital where he later died.

Russian forces hit Kyiv’s Northern Bridge for the second straight day on October 4, dropped guided bombs on Sumy, and killed civilians in five regions as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in Kyiv with new aid.

In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a strike at 10:34 a.m. hit the Northern Bridge roadway, injuring two people, one of whom was hospitalized. A damaged heating main in the Desnianskyi district temporarily cut off hot water. Overnight, drones damaged six private houses, a church, a primary school, a café, and a medical facility in the Boryspil district. No one was hurt.

In Chernihiv Oblast, a drone set fire to a house and outbuilding in the Nosivka community, damaging neighboring homes. Regional head Viacheslav Chaus reported five people injured regionwide. In Nosivka, a 76-year-old woman, a 55-year-old man, and a 10-year-old boy suffered burns. The boy was moved from intensive care to a Kyiv hospital in serious condition.

In Sumy Oblast, Russia carried out 45 attacks on 21 settlements in 14 communities. Five guided bombs hit Sumy and the Bezdrytsia community in the morning, and around 2 p.m. Russia dropped six more on the city. Drones hitting a Sumy enterprise killed a 52-year-old worker. Authorities reported more than 25 injured, 21 by aerial bombs, including a 1-year-old child. Sumy has been a frequent target, as covered in a recent field report.

In Poltava Oblast, a drone hit an energy facility, temporarily leaving about 22,000 consumers without power, regional head Vitalii Diakivnych said.

On the Eastern Front, Kharkiv Oblast head Oleh Syniehubov said Russia attacked Kharkiv and 10 other settlements with three missiles, one MLRS round, seven Geran-2 drones, two Molniya drones, nine FPV drones, and 136 other drones, killing one person, a 42-year-old man in Kharkiv, and injuring 12. Late on October 4, a Banderol missile-drone hit a residential high-rise in Kharkiv’s Industrialnyi district. Mayor Ihor Terekhov first reported two dead, but updated figures put the toll at one killed and six injured.

In Donetsk Oblast, regional head Vadym Filashkin reported 20 Russian attacks and said Russian forces killed a resident of Kramatorsk. In Sloviansk, three private houses and two cars were damaged. Authorities evacuated 293 people from the front line, including 21 children.

In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russia struck four districts more than 70 times with drones, artillery, and an aerial bomb, killing one person in the Nikopol area and injuring four, three near Nikopol and one in Pavlohrad. In Dnipro, an attack hit a telecommunications company’s premises.

On the Southern Front, Zaporizhzhia Oblast absorbed 891 strikes on 52 settlements, including 25 airstrikes, 719 drone attacks, two MLRS salvos, and 145 artillery strikes, with 40 damage reports. Drones attacking Kushuhum and Novostepnianske killed two people and injured two. A 79-year-old man died in Kushuhum, and in Novostepnianske a drone hit a moving truck, killing the driver.

In Kherson Oblast, regional head Oleksandr Prokudin said Russian drones, artillery, and aircraft hit Kherson and 19 other settlements, injuring six people and damaging an apartment building, seven private houses, a cell tower, a gas pipeline, an agricultural enterprise, and a minibus.

Ukraine’s General Staff reported on October 5 that Russia lost 2,020 personnel in the previous 24 hours, bringing its total since February 2022 to about 1,542,720. Ukrainian losses were not disclosed, though the war’s toll on soldiers has strained Ukraine’s prosthetics providers. Overnight on October 4, the SBU hit a Su-35 and Su-34 at the Khanska military airfield in Russia’s Republic of Adygea, and drones of its Alpha special operations center struck an ammunition depot there.

Merz arrived in Kyiv by train. At a joint press conference, he and Zelensky announced a German package worth over €1.3 billion ($1.46 billion), including €1 billion in military aid with funding for interceptor drones that can counter Russian jet-powered weapons, and about €350 million for energy. Germany will also supply thousands of IRIS-T missiles and additional IRIS-T fire units. “This will quickly and noticeably strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, and this reinforcement is urgently needed,” Merz said. The two countries signed 15 cooperation documents. The visit came days after Ukrainians marked Pokrova, an observance that links Christian faith with military service.

Zelensky said the U.S. is proposing “some kind of meeting at the technical level in a trilateral format by the end of October.” He said he spoke directly with the U.S. negotiating team on October 3 and that Ukraine is ready to participate.

Asked whether Russia had shared its new jet-powered drone with North Korea, Zelensky replied, “Yes, of course.” Zelensky also congratulated Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, whose pro-Ukraine United List won 41 seats in the 100-seat Saeima.

Russia reportedly attacked a Ukrainian power plant on Sunday, hours after President Trump announced an energy ceasefire. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump announced a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, which Zelensky said he supports.

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump wrote on Truth Social this morning.

Zelensky later responded, writing, “Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side.”

President Trump Announces Energy Ceasefire Between Russia and Ukraine After Ukraine Blows Up Russian Diesel Terminal – Zelensky Responds

The announcement followed a back-and-forth in the press between Trump and Zelensky after Trump announced a deal to purchase diesel from Russia. However, Ukraine continued attacks, striking a Russian diesel export hub, which angered the President.

Trump went off on Zelensky on Saturday, calling for him to hold an election to replace him, and accusing him of dragging out the war. He doubled down hours later, saying Zelensky "should have an election" and that "Putin would like to see a settlement strongly," but "Zelensky does not want to make a deal."

Zelensky responded to Trump on Sunday ahead of the ceasefire announcement, telling ABC's Jonathan Karl that it's Russia's fault that the war has continued and calling for a ceasefire.

Russia reportedly hit the power plant this afternoon.

Per ABC:

Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite President Donald Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," according to Ukrainian officials.

A local official told ABC News the thermal power plant CHP-5 was struck at least twice, causing a fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement confirmed Russia had attacked the plant, as well as another in Kyiv, saying it had taken place after Trump's announcement.

Announcing the energy ceasefire earlier on social media, Trump said both Russia and Ukraine had agreed and that it would immediately come into effect, but Zelenskyy has said Ukraine was caught off guard by the announcement. Russia has yet to comment.

Zelensky released a video statement on X:

Today, there was a statement from the President of the United States that an energy ceasefire has been secured. This is good news for everyone – and it is important that it become reality.

Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian “shaheds” all day today. There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too. A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening.

Overall, this past week alone, the Russians have carried out more than 200 strikes on our electricity generation and transmission facilities in Ukraine, and another 17 strikes this week targeted gas and oil facilities. They have killed more than 150 of our people, and more than 700 people have been wounded.

Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – “nyet.” We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace.

Ukraine wants peace. The question is whether Russia does. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have received all the appropriate orders. We are awaiting clear details of the dialogue between America and Russia – and we expect Putin to follow through on what President Trump said.

You sat on the paper sheet that crinkles every time you move. The doctor had seven minutes and one eye on the screen.

You told him about the shoulder that grinds when you reach for the top shelf. The knee that makes you grab the stair rail. The first twenty minutes out of bed, when your feet hit the cold floor and you shuffle to the coffee pot like someone twenty years older.

He nodded. Then he said it. “That’s just age.”

A pamphlet. A refill. The door clicks shut behind the doctor.

And you drive home wondering if this is how the rest of it goes.

Because here is what “just age” costs. It is the grandkids yelling “come play” while you stay in the recliner, since getting back up off the carpet is the hard part. It is the Saturday of raking that you pay for until Tuesday, with an ice pack on the couch. It is the hunt you missed, the back nine you sat out, the trip you skipped.

A lot of people try the usual fixes first.

One wrote: “A previous cortisone shot helped for a couple of weeks, but the issue came right back.”

Another went the exercise route: “I did my research and began to do rehab type exercises that really didn’t seem to help.”

And pain pills only quiet things for a few hours.

Then things got better.

They tried something you mix into your water each morning called Regenerate from The Wellness Company. Then they said what happened:

The one who had tried the rehab exercises: “On day 2, I noticed a change. On day 4, almost no pain. On day 6, ZERO pain.”

Another: “I can work in my flower garden again!”

And another: “On my trip I went, saw, and did everything that I intended to.”

Still another: “Without Regenerate, I couldn’t do it at age 67”

Regenerate comes from The Wellness Company where Dr. Peter McCullough, who told the truth during COVID when few doctors would, serves as Chief Scientific Officer.

What is it exactly?

Regenerate uses three peptides most folks have never heard of: BPC-157, KPV and TB-500.

Here is what each one does:

– BPC-157 backs up the recovery of your muscles, tendons and ligaments, the parts that pay for a day of raking.

– KPV helps keep your body’s normal inflammatory response in balance.

– TB-500 supports flexibility and endurance, so you can move and keep going.

Regenerate is the first oral blend of all three together. Each serving has 1 mg of each peptide. Peptides like these usually come as shots. The Wellness Company designed Regenerate so the same peptides come in drops instead of shots. No needles.

Each morning, it takes about a minute. First thing on an empty stomach, put 30 drops in two tablespoons of water and drink it. Then wait 20 minutes before you eat or drink anything else. That’s it. That’s all you need to do.

“But will I even feel it?”

Here is what buyers say. Leah P.: “I noticed a difference after 1 day.” Mary U., about 12 days in: “I’ve noticed that I wake up in less pain. It’s wonderful!” Shirley B., about her shoulder after a week: “Nothing else helped me.”

Not everyone moves that fast. One person wrote it was “too early to make a judgement” after his first stretch. Bodies differ. Give it the full 30-day bottle and pay attention to those first twenty minutes out of bed. That is where most people notice it first.

What’s the cost?

On subscription, Regenerate is $269.99, and you can skip or cancel anytime. That is 30 servings, about $9 a morning. A single bottle is $299.99, about $10 a morning. Shipping is free in the U.S.

Put that next to what you have already tried. According to FairVisitHealth, a cortisone shot without insurance typically runs $100 to $500, and one man said his cortisone shot only helped “for a couple of weeks” before the issue came right back. And rehab is usually more.

Before you try it, think about what a better morning would mean:

• Your feet hit the floor and you walk the dog without shuffling

• The grandkids say “come play” and you get down on the carpet and back up again

• A Saturday of yard work that does not cost you Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

• The truck step and the stairs stop feeling like hurdles

Your doctor said “That’s just age.”

But a lot of people are finding out that they can do better.
