We waited 9 years for a new I See Stars record, and all we got was a mediocre outing. It’s not a terrible record, but it’s absolutely sub-par from the rest of their discography.

Trump Warns His Patience With Putin Is "Running Out Fast"
Trump Warns His Patience With Putin Is "Running Out Fast"
U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he is losing patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin and could issue new tariffs and sanctions to compel the Russian leader to enter cease-fire negotiations with Ukraine.
Trump said that his patience with Putin’s refusal to participate in peace talks with Ukraine was “running out and running out fast,” during an interview with Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” on Sep. 12.
Trump ist genau wie Putin - ein Blender....
Trump hat erneut erklärt, dass seine Geduld gegenüber Putin zur Neige geht. Er droht mit gewissen Sanktionen.
„Meine Geduld scheint schon fast erschöpft zu sein, und das schnell – aber es braucht ja zwei zum Tango tanzen... Als Putin es… https://t.co/RjA9J8We7n
— Konstanze Hoffmann (@KonstanzeHoffm1) https://twitter.com/KonstanzeHoffm1/status/1966600945288310931?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
the president added that “it does take two to tango,” saying that Putin’s recalcitrance on committing to peace talks was in part due to the Russian leader’s mutual animosity with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“There’s tremendous hatred between him and Zelenskyy,” Trump said.
Trump has made ending the https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/how-the-war-in-ukraine-unfolded-and-how-it-might-end-5816673
and other international conflicts a key part of his presidential agenda, but has struggled at times to convince Putin and Zelenskyy to meaningfully negotiate on ending the conflict.
The comments follow a high-profile summit between Trump and Putin in Alaska in August, which aimed to bring Russia back to the negotiating table but ultimately did not result in the resumption of cease-fire talks.
“There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” Trump https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/key-takeaways-from-trump-putin-summit-on-ukraine-5901960
at the time.
That meeting itself was the result of a threat by Trump to impose https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/trump-gives-russia-10-days-to-agree-to-ukraine-cease-fire-or-face-sanctions-5893964
on the Russian oil sector, including secondary tariffs on nations such as India and China that purchase oil from Russian entities.
Trump renewed those threats during Friday’s interview, saying the United States would have to “come down very, very strong” on Russia if Putin did not commit to peace talks with Ukraine.
?itok=g4VNFWAF
When asked what coming down on Russia would look like, Trump said that it would involve “hitting [Russia] very hard with sanctions to banks and having to do with oil and tariffs also.”
to U.S. allies in Europe earlier this week in the hopes of building international support for secondary tariffs of up to 100 percent on China and India.
The move demonstrates how much Trump and his administration have https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-is-losing-patience-with-russia-5885370
in handling the war in Ukraine since first coming to office, moving from pausing all support of Ukraine early in the year to renewing weapon sales to Kyiv and threatening sanctions against Moscow.
The difficulty lies in getting either Kyiv or Moscow to relent on any of several key war aims, with Zelenskyy refusing to consider the giving up of any territory to Russia and Putin demanding that it be given territory it has failed to conquer.
For now, Moscow appears undeterred. This week alone, Russia launched its largest https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/russia-hits-ukraine-with-biggest-air-attack-of-war-sets-government-building-ablaze-5911576
into NATO member Poland’s airspace.
NATO leadership has https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/nato-strengthens-defenses-on-eastern-frontier-after-drone-incursion-in-poland-5914116
whether the drones entered Polish airspace deliberately or as part of an operation in Ukraine that went wrong.
Trump said during Friday’s interview that Russian assets “shouldn’t be close to Poland.”

Trump May Meet With Syria's Al-Qaeda-Leader-Turned President In New York This Month
Trump May Meet With Syria's Al-Qaeda-Leader-Turned President In New York This Month
Syrian media has confirmed that Syria’s de facto president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, a former al-Qaeda leader, https://sana.sy/en/presidency/2266641/
in New York City this month, where he may land a meeting with President Trump.
Syrian diplomatic sources https://themedialine.org/headlines/diplomatic-sources-to-tml-al-sharaas-us-visa-sets-stage-for-un-debut-high-stakes-diplomacy/
as an effort to impede Western countries from recognizing a Palestinian state.
?itok=UGFivar5
The Media Line report also said that preparations are underway for a bilateral meeting between Trump and Sharaa on the sidelines of the General Assembly. The two leaders met in Saudi Arabia back in May, and Trump praised Sharaa as a “young, attractive guy” with a “strong past.”
Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, got his start with al-Qaeda in Iraq, where he fought an insurgency against US troops before being imprisoned from 2006 to 2011. In 2012, he travelled to Syria and formed al-Qaeda’s affiliate in the country, the al-Nusra Front.
In 2016, Sharaa claimed the al-Nusra Front was cutting ties with al-Qaeda. At the time, https://www.france24.com/en/20160728-al-nusra-chief-syria-announces-break-al-qaeda-new-name
“commanders of al-Qaeda for having understood the need to break ties.” In 2017, Julani merged his group with several other Islamist factions to form Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the group that led the offensive that ousted former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
According to https://www.newarab.com/news/who-asaad-al-shibani-syrias-new-foreign-minister
, Syria’s new foreign minister, Asaad al-Shaibani, who will also be traveling to New York, was also a founding member of the al-Nusra Front and oversaw its transition into HTS.
The US will be welcoming the two former al-Qaeda leaders to New York less than two weeks after the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, which killed 2,606 people at the Twin Towers in New York City.
Reports say the US may be https://apnews.com/article/us-un-iran-brazil-sudan-zimbabwe-visas-0ab158019f7192a90289d8ed432e1188
on Iranian officials who are attending the General Assembly, but there’s no sign that travel will be limited for Sharaa and his delegation. The Media Line report said Sharaa may also visit New York’s Turkish House, the headquarters of several Turkish diplomatic missions, together with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, one of HTS’s major backers.
While Sharaa now presents himself as a moderate, Syrian government forces have been responsible for the massacre of https://news.antiwar.com/2025/03/10/syrias-hts-say-security-operation-against-alawites-over-more-than-1300-killed/

— HQ (@HKX37) https://twitter.com/HKX37/status/1966419004727472312?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Despite the violence, the US has embraced the new Syrian government by lifting sanctions and removing HTS from its list of terror organizations. Israel, which https://news.antiwar.com/2024/12/08/netanyahu-takes-credit-for-assads-overthrow-israel-seizes-golan-heights-buffer-zone/
, has used the HTS takeover as a pretext to invade and occupy more territory in southwest Syria.

Lisa Cook Can't Be Fired - For Now: Judge
Lisa Cook Can't Be Fired - For Now: Judge
Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has been granted a reprieve after her sorority-sister judge, Jia Cobb, temporarily blocked President Donald Trump from firing her - allowing Cook to remain on the job amid allegations of mortgage fraud.
?itok=ici5r7oR
Cobb granted Cook's request to continue in her role, finding that the alleged mortgage misconduct likely didn't amount to "cause" to fire her under the Federal Reserve Act. Cobb also found that the way Cook was fired likely violated her right to due process under the Constitution.
"The best reading of the ‘for cause’ provision is that the bases for removal of a member of the Board of Governors are limited to grounds concerning a Governor’s behavior in office and whether they have been faithfully and effectively executing their statutory duties," Cobb wrote.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Judge grants fired member of fed, Cook, a preliminary injunction and orders Powell and others to keep Cook at fed & refuses to issue STAY. (corrected). https://t.co/x7Jnau44k5
— Margot Cleveland (@ProfMJCleveland) https://twitter.com/ProfMJCleveland/status/1965596360536932437?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
The ruling means that Cook will likely be able to attend an anticipated Fed policy meeting Sept. 16-17 to vote on interest rates.
The DOJ is expected to quickly appeal the ruling, leaving the final say to the US Supreme Court.
Abbe Lowell, Cook's lawyer, said in a statement that tonight's ruling "recognizes and reaffirms" the Fed's independence from political interference.
"Allowing the president to unlawfully remove Governor Cook on unsubstantiated and vague allegations would endanger the stability of our financial system and undermine the rule of law," said Lowell.
Judge Jia Cobb, of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, ruled that Lisa Cook, of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, should continue setting US monetary policy even though she doesn't know how to fill out a mortgage application https://t.co/hjnxm7NAYz
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1965607705235914955?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
Cook was fired last month after FHFA Director Bill Pulte released evidence that Cook had fraudulently listed two homes as her "primary residence" within weeks of each other in 2021 in order to secure more favorable terms on her loans. Pulte also revealed a third mortgage Cook had listed as a 'secondary residence' while actually renting it out.
The fired 'economist' says that her ouster was politically motivated, while her lawyers claim that if there are any errors, they were accidental, and nobody was harmed - just nobody was harmed when NY AG Letitia James threw the kitchen sink at Trump over similar real estate malarkey.

Trump Announces Crackdown On Drug Ads On TV, Potentially Disrupting Billions In Ad Spending
Trump Announces Crackdown On Drug Ads On TV, Potentially Disrupting Billions In Ad Spending
Earlier this week, following both the kangaroo court that was RFK Jr. congressional hearing and the news that the Trump admin may crack down on Tylenol (of all things), we wondered if there really wasn't something more serious for MAHA to be focusing on... like making an actual impact and banning pharma ads on TV. After all, it's just the US and New Zealand that still allow pharma ads to fund what are largely extremely liberal cable TV stations: why not help US health at the grass roots level by pulling back on the US addiction with, well, drug addiction. And if the Trump admin can put much of the liberal mainstream media out of business for selling snake oil - in some cases literally - even better.
Whatever happened to banning pharma ads on TV? https://t.co/QCdOOSefBV
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1964030817421738046?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
And while we didn't expect our lament to generate any traction, we were very surprised to learn that late on Tuesday, the Trump admin announced a crackdown on pharmaceutical advertising on television and social media platforms, potentially disrupting billions of dollars in annual ad spending.
President Trump signed a presidential memorandum on Tuesday that calls on federal health agencies to require pharmaceutical companies to disclose more side effects in their ads and enforce existing rules about misleading ads. The administration is pitching the moves as a way to increase transparency for patients, and while it is not an outright ban as many had hoped for, it is a start, and it will certainly had an adverse effect as drug makers scramble to avoid penalties and sanctions.

As noted above, the US is the only place, besides New Zealand, where pharma companies can directly advertise to consumers. Limiting pharmaceutical advertisements has been a longtime priority for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., though the new regulations would stop short of banning the ads entirely.
But, as Bloomberg notes, even adding stricter requirements to the ads will likely hit both pharmaceutical companies and the media companies that rely extensively on those advertising dollars.
Drug companies spent $10.8 billion in 2024 on direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising in total, according to a report from the advertising data firm MediaRadar. AbbVie, Glaxo and Pfizer were particularly big spenders. AbbVie alone spent $2 billion on direct-to-consumer drug ads last year, primarily on advertising for the company’s anti-inflammatory drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. The medicines brought in more than $6.5 billion for AbbVie in the second quarter of 2025.
?itok=TaoffSKs
Aside from new regulations, the agencies also plan to more strictly enforce existing rules around misleading advertising.
“The FDA is sending approximately 100 enforcement action letters today and thousands of letters warning the industry, including online pharmacies, who have increasingly been promoting drugs with no mention of side effects at all,” FDA Commissioner Marty Makary said in a video posted on social media Tuesday.
A senior administration official confirmed that the new Trump administration regulations may require broadcast ads to be longer to ensure they disclose the full risk profile of medications. Another official clarified that the goal is not to reduce the number of ads, but ensure patients have full information about side effects.
“They’re going to have to report all their side effects,” Kennedy said in an interview with Fox News Tuesday evening. “In some cases that might create an advertisement that’s four minutes long.”
Before the loosening of advertising regulations by the FDA in 1997, US pharma companies had to list all possible side effects for a medication if they wanted to mention which condition the drug being advertised was intended to treat. Reading out the long lists drove up costs for air time, making the ads less practical.
That FDA change in 1997 allowed ads to disclose fewer side effects and also allowed companies to direct customers to talk to their doctors, call a telephone number or visit a website to get more information on the advertised drugs. Realizing that the new regulations meant a much higher return on investment, TV pharma ad spending surged, and so did chronic diseases, autism, and mental disorders. Last year, 59% of the pharmaceutical industry’s expenditures were on TV advertising, making pharma the third-highest spending industry, according to MediaRadar.
Administration officials said they’d also be taking a closer look at advertisements from telehealth companies, which operate differently from traditional pharma companies. They declined to mention specific companies, but noted a Super Bowl advertisement from a telehealth company that received criticism from senators.
The Trump administration is also planning to ensure drug ads made by influencers and other social media posts abide by the same standards applied to TV, an administration official said.
Research firm Emarketer projected that the pharmaceutical industry would spend more than $19 billion on online marketing in 2024. The spending was driven largely by ads for weight-loss and diabetes medications, which makes sense: the US is the world's most obese nation by a very fat margin.

Berenson On Black Violence, Woke Lies, & Right-Wing Rage
Berenson On Black Violence, Woke Lies, & Right-Wing Rage
https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-black-violence-woke-lies-and-right
You’ve seen the photo.
A man stands behind a woman, his arms raised in a frenzy. She sits, focused on her phone, oblivious to the danger behind her. He is about to slash her neck and leave her to bleed to death.
The man is black. The woman is white.
?itok=vfb14gWu
And their races are no coincidence.
* * *
(The truth, even when it hurts.)
Black men commit a huge amount of violent crime in the United States.
Every statistic confirms this fact. Black people made up almost 47,000 of the 81,000 murder suspects whose race was known to police in the last five years, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/on-black-violence-woke-lies-and-right?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=363080&post_id=173117536&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=hhmv4&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email#footnote-1-173117536
Most of those killers are men.
Put another way, black men, who make up about one-fourteenth of the American population, commit over half of the homicides.
In some cities, the disparities are so stunning as to nearly defy belief. St. Louis has about the same number of black and white people, about 130,000, along with 40,000 Asians and Latinos. So far this year, St. Louis police have identified 83 murder suspects. None are Asian or Latino. Three are white.
The other 80 are black, 73 men and seven women.
(See for yourself.)
?itok=ivsDpWRb
https://slmpd.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Homicide_Stats_for_Website.pdf
I wish this racial gap didn’t exist.
Every American suffers from it. Black people suffer more than white, because most crime is intra-racial, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone. People usually commit violence against family members, friends, or people in their neighborhoods. So black people are far more likely to be the victims of violent crime, as well as its perpetrators.
Nonetheless, the crime gap is real, and has been for generations. Whether violent crime is rising or falling, black people are far more likely to commit it.
For a long time, we simply didn’t discuss this fact. Everyone knew it. Maybe people didn’t know the exact statistics, but everyone broadly knew the overall trends.
No one talked about it.
Guess what?
I think that silence was probably the right move.
I know, probably not what you expected from Mr. Unreported Truths.
But who gains from highlighting black criminality? Obviously, police departments must deal with reality, by focusing their officers and detectives on the neighborhoods where most crime happens. But focusing on the racial disparities in crime seems… unlikely to help race relations. And although rates of black criminality are higher, the vast majority of black people — like the vast majority of white people — do not commit violent crime.
Better, then, to arrest and incarcerate and simply ignore the intersection of race and crime whenever possible.
Except the left wouldn’t agree.
For the last 20 years, the left has spun two demonstrably false narratives on this issue.
The first is that large numbers of black men are in prison for nonviolent drug crimes. I examined this argument closely for https://www.amazon.com/Tell-Your-Children-Marijuana-Violence/dp/1982103671/ref=sr_1_1?crid=ND922OQER1K5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.ar7YnqOFGs2PRGMy7n94q2qLRu9KN3d_6uK6Pwb4kaEEhMYutICT8KQ-7l-MWWzBzg8TNgLvBYR-nqh9SxkeH1oHPATakQ9yhSxQqDtMxSluOVsLI5Bnr6YdkpClvt5uv24uqrr5i_kQWNSltFrE8lono744VMyqDAYlSPcQQha6sJgddY07cqCOYr9XiJTcsnSbiHLtS49vFE3huS4qH7rY3oP-CeorU7VmdJ6xYAw.dfFnHceyk8ek-JBxl8yHOz-IOUDUzwobWB6jqA6jJBo&dib_tag=se&keywords=tell+your+children&qid=1757424197&sprefix=tell+your+childre%2Caps%2C1653&sr=8-1
, and it is almost totally a myth.
It exploded after the publication in 2010 of a book called “The New Jim Crow,” by civil rights lawyer Michelle Alexander. It has been repeated ever since, even though criminal justice professor John Pfaff exploded it in a book called “Locked In: The True Causes of Mass Incarceration - and How to Achieve Real Reform” in 2017.
Pfaff — who is a liberal — pointed out that any serious cuts in prison populations would have to include the release of many violent offenders (a tack he favors). Depending on the criteria, many if most of those offenders would be black.
Now, one can argue that prisons are inhumane and expensive and that a country as wealthy as the United States should have better alternatives even for violent criminals and that no one should be defined by their worst day. Those are honest arguments. I generally don’t agree with them, but they are honest.
But pretending that our prisons are filled with black men in there for smoking pot is not an honest argument.
The second myth, even more maddening, is that the police are constantly shooting black men, and unarmed black men in particular.
In reality, between 2015 and 2024, American police shot and killed about 180 unarmed black people (and 222 white people), according to a database from https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/investigations/police-shootings-database/
. Obviously, any police shootings need to be investigated, and if there is evidence officers acted without justification, they should be prosecuted.
But the context here is important. Over the same period, close to 100,000 black people died of homicide — and, again, the vast majority died at the hands of other black people. The statistics could not be clearer: Police officers of any race present a far smaller threat to black men than other black men do.
Unfortunately, the left will not simply acknowledge that fact. Instead, the legacy media, has spent the last decade offering saturation coverage of every case it can find in which police officers, particularly white officers, have killed black men.
These demonstrably false narratives were central to the broader effort to “reform” the criminal justice system, a goal the left justified by arguing that violent crime had fallen so much from its 1980s peak we ought to close the prisons and replace police with social workers.
In reality, at least four big factors seem to have led to the fall in crime.
First, we did lengthen sentences and put a lot of violent people in prison in the late 1980s and 1990s. This may come as a shock to progressives, but incarcerating criminals keeps them from committing more crimes.
Second, cell phones and apps made drug dealing a delivery business. When you don’t have to sell on corners, you don’t have to fight for them.
Third, opioids replaced stimulants as America’s preferred drug class. Opioids cause many, many problems, but their users are generally too zonked (the preferred clinical term) to commit violent crime.
Fourth, investigative technology improved. It’s tough to be a serial killer these days. Watch that DNA!
Still, throughout the 2010s, the “Black Lives Matter” anti-incarceration and -police stories gained momentum. To the left, falling crime didn’t signal longer prison sentences had worked. It signaled they were unnecessary.
Then, following George Floyd’s death, calls to “defund the police” exploded. Democratic politicians and prosecutors in cities like Chicago and Philadelphia signaled they would not routinely enforce a wide range of laws or back police who used force in arrests. Many police officers retreated from their work, knowing that they might face lawsuits or worse if they were forced to fight with a suspect.
Within months crime exploded. Murders in the United States rose 30 percent in 2020, the biggest one-year spike ever. Big sections of downtowns in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles became almost impassible, filled with open-air drug use, aggressive panhandling, and street crime.
The post-Floyd crime wave ended the open calls to defund the police, but it didn’t end the left’s general dishonesty about race, crime, and policing.
But the left doesn’t control what we see and hear anymore.
The center of gravity is on social media, and social media, particularly X, has moved increasingly to the right.
Now the right is responding to the left’s misleading arguments about crime and race in the most inflammatory possible way. Commentators with huge audiences are highlighting cases in which black men have committed unprovoked crimes against white people, especially white women, especially young white women.
Thus the image of Decarlos Brown Jr standing behind Iryna Zarutska, about to strike, now viewed hundreds of millions of times — if not billions — on X.
I don’t know how to put this genie back in the bottle.
These images are powerful because they’re real.
They cut to a truth about crime in the United States that the left will not acknowledge.
But they cannot help but inflame anger about race. At least some people posting are using them for just that reason.
Would greater honesty from the left stop them?
Of course not.
We need strict laws against recidivist violent criminals, and we need to enforce those laws. We need to give police more tools to get floridly psychotic people off the streets, particularly when drugs are fueling their psychosis. Those people are almost by definition dangerous to themselves and others. Ideally, we’d send them to civil confinement for treatment. But if they’re breaking laws against, say, public nudity or harassment, we should not be afraid to send them to jail.
The left needs to accept that a lot of those people are going to be black.
But I wish the right wouldn’t say so out loud.
