BIRTHDAY: “Weird Al” Yankovic (born 1959) — Musician and parody king; turns 67. THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 1941 — Disney’s animated film Dumbo had its world premiere. ------ SOCIAL SECURITY ZOMBIES (KTVU) Social Security says its database cleanup added 17 million missing death dates and filled citizenship information gaps in approximately 25 million records. Another 8.5 million citizenship-status corrections are underway. The agency calls it its largest cleanup ever. Missing death dates do not, by themselves, establish that those individuals were receiving benefits. ------ 20,000 REASONS TO VOTE (FOX NEWS) Federal prosecutor Bill Essayli says DOJ verified 20,000 noncitizens on California voter rolls. California disputes the federal findings, and litigation is underway. The government’s broader court filings describe the individuals as likely noncitizens. Registration is distinct from casting a ballot; the claim does not establish 20,000 illegal votes. ------ I’M GONNA TELL MY MUMMY! (NOT THE BEE) Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum removed Egyptian human remains from display, citing respect for the deceased and concerns about displaying remains without documented consent. Removed items reportedly include a mummified head, hand, foot, and a priest’s remains.

OMARITHON! (NOT THE BEE) Rep. Ilhan Omar is asking supporters for donations following a federal search of her Washington home amid an immigration-related investigation. She accuses the Trump administration of intimidation and says she will keep campaigning. Omar denies wrongdoing. Reporting describes the appeal as campaign fundraising; the supplied article does not establish a dedicated legal-defense fund. ------ THEY’RE BRINGING IT HOME (NEW YORK POST) Rapper Tufawon urged Americans to become more radical after visiting student demonstrators in France, according to the New York Post. He says his remarks were figurative and not intended to incite violence. Separately, CodePink is promoting a Washington protest it describes as peaceful resistance. ------ FRENCH APPLE PIE (NEW YORK POST) Looters who stole iPhones from an Apple Store in Lille, France, reportedly discovered their haul came with a warning: the devices were disabled and being tracked. The New York Post describes video showing the security message after the October 17 looting.

(NEW YORK POST) California awarded nearly $369 million in federal recovery funds from the devastating 2018 wildfires to affordable-housing developers without requiring them to house wildfire survivors. The California Post investigation found that while developers received major awards, some fire victims were still struggling to rebuild nearly eight years later. State officials defend the spending as replacing lost housing, but critics question who actually benefits from disaster relief. WNBA SNUBS ANTHEM (FOX NEWS / OUTKICK) The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries left the court before the national anthem at both Games 1 and 2 of the WNBA Finals in San Francisco, returning seconds after the performances ended.

STAR UNLINKED (GROUND NEWS) Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States resumed intelligence sharing after a brief interruption that left Ukraine without advance warnings of Russian ballistic missile attacks for three days.

UP IN SMOKE (FOX NEWS) A historic French town hall built in 1883 was largely destroyed after rioters set it ablaze during nationwide protests over soaring living costs.

The decision raises a provocative question: Should executions be private acts of justice, or should the public be allowed to witness what the government does in its name? ------ THE UNCOLA PART DUEX (FOX BUSINESS) Social Security's annual cost-of-living increase is back in the headlines, but so is the program's looming funding crisis. Retirees are watching how much their monthly checks will rise while policymakers confront projected trust-fund shortfalls. Higher benefits may help with household expenses, but annual increases also add to program costs. Is the COLA keeping seniors afloat, or are Americans watching a retirement system slowly run out of financial breathing room? ------ SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host and audio producer: John JamingoBoomer Bunker My other co-hosts: Ken Madden and Boomer Bob The cast of characters: The Duchess of New Jersey Sam (Cody's mom) Cody Lorenzo and occasionally Flo (Lorenzo's motha) and a big Thank You to all my Supporters: Aaron I had to Say it The Duchess of New Jersey Boomer Bunker Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

Cornell's response raises questions about campus safety, disciplinary procedures, and whether universities act decisively before public pressure mounts. ------ INFLATION NATION (GROUND NEWS) U.S. inflation reportedly climbed to 3.7% in September, exceeding forecasts and putting renewed pressure on American households. Rising gasoline and energy costs are major concerns as consumers continue dealing with elevated prices for necessities. The latest figures raise questions about purchasing power, interest rates, and whether economic statistics reflect what Americans experience at the checkout counter. ------ THE UN-COLA (KTVU FOX 2) Social Security's reported 2027 cost-of-living adjustment is 3.6%, potentially adding approximately $75 per month to the average retired worker's benefit.

Matchmakers say women are increasingly targeting wealthy AI engineers as potential husbands, especially employees at companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. With fortunes potentially waiting in stock options, the competition for Mr. Right has apparently become a competition for Mr. Rich. Is it true love, financial planning, or artificial intimacy? ------- IF WE COULD ONLY PREVENT ONE DEATH… (NOT THE BEE) Two lawful permanent residents in Alabama have been arrested and federally charged with allegedly voting illegally. Prosecutors say a Jamaican national voted in the 2024 election, while a Peruvian national voted in multiple elections despite neither being a U.S. citizen. Both face up to a year in prison if convicted. The cases revive questions about voter verification, election safeguards, and how illegal ballots get through the system. ------- TURNING THE TABLES ON FLOCK (THE SURVIVAL PODCAST) A Canadian software engineer built his own automatic license plate reader—but programmed it to track police vehicles instead of ordinary motorists. When officers reportedly visited his home expressing privacy and safety concerns, the irony practically wrote itself. Jack Spirko argues the experiment exposes a double standard surrounding Flock-style surveillance. If tracking everyone is acceptable for public safety, why does the conversation change when police become the subjects? ------ SHOW CREDITS: Thank you to my co-host and audio producer: John JamingoBoomer Bunker My other co-hosts: Ken Madden and Boomer Bob The cast of characters: The Duchess of New Jersey Sam (Cody's mom) Cody Lorenzo and occasionally Flo (Lorenzo's motha) and a big Thank You to all my Supporters: Aaron I had to Say it The Duchess of New Jersey Boomer Bunker Steve McShane of the Razor Wire News Josh Roberts from New Hampshire and you can always leave a comment by email: bruce@wsmgmedia.com

Another heckler discovers that interrupting a professional comedian can backfire spectacularly. ------- CROSS COUNTRY CROSSDRESSER (FOX NEWS / OUTKICK) A transgender runner at Washington's Camas High School switched from the boys' cross-country team to the girls' team midseason, sparking objections from competing athletes and parents.
