AMERICAN HISTORY: On October 15, 1860, Grace Bedell (11) wrote to the Republican Party’s presidential nominee, Abraham Lincoln, urging him to grow a beard. She told her mother, “He would look better if he wore whiskers.”

MIDTERMS: [16:58] – Democrats have been hiding their politicians’ infirmities for a lot longer than Joe Biden.

Democrat President Woodrow Wilson suffered a severe stroke on October 2, 1919, and remained incapacitated until the end of his presidency in March 1921, nearly 17 months. During that time, his wife essentially ran the country.

Democrat President John F. Kennedy was diagnosed with Addison’s disease, a serious adrenal disorder, in 1947, long before he ever ran for office. He and his cronies kept it and his other health issues a secret.

NEW YUCK SUCKS: between Jan. 20, 2025, and Sept. 14, 2026, NYC ignored 14,916 requests by ICE to detain illegals who had been arrested in connection with 47,750 criminal charges and convictions. Among these were homicides, sexual assaults, drug offenses, kidnapping, weapons offenses, and assaults. Instead of holding these scumbags in jail until an ICE agent can come get them in a safe and controlled environment, New York’s sanctuary policy dictates they be released into the community.

UK: CLICK https://x.com/oldspeak_books/status/2108482972139552920 [3:16] to hear a woman respond to a police officer who was sent to her house to warn her about her social media content. Here’s part of the exchange:

Woman: I’ll post what I want because it’s a free country.

Cop: To a point.

Woman: To what point?

Cop: Well, I’m not going to start shouting it … I suggest you look it up … I’m advising you to be aware of what you’re putting on your page. Because if it continues and we can prove there are offenses there, the next time we come back we can have conversation at the police station, okay?

I did look it up and found that Brits have only “a qualified right to freedom of expression under the Human Rights Act 1998 (incorporating European Convention on Human Rights Article 10), allowing significant restrictions for things like hate speech, incitement, public order, and online safety, leading to ongoing debates about censorship and limitations compared to the US approach.”

I looked at the woman’s feed and found what I think is likely the inciting post @ https://x.com/oldspeak_books/status/2107145467087716572. It links to a video made by a man mocking his newborn, about which the woman wrote, “This made me weep.” The comments got harsh, but seriously … they were just comments on a social media account, not Molotov cocktails thrown into someone’s house.

CATHOLIC: The quotation above was written in 2004 by then-Cardinal Ratzinger in his capacity as Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. In 2005, he was elected to head the Roman Catholic Church as pope and chose the name Benedict XVI.

This is worth mentioning, because Pope Leo XIV just posted, “The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.”

Catholics are bound only to the doctrines and dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church. What Ratzinger wrote summed up what the RCC has taught over the centuries. What Leo just posted is his opinion.

The U.S. government can limit or override patent rights in specific situations, such as through march-in rights under the Bayh-Dole Act or under 28 U.S.C. §1498, but it cannot simply snatch, revoke, or rescind a patent outright.

• The Bayh–Dole Act is a U.S. law enacted on December 12, 1980 that lets universities, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations elect to own inventions made from federally funded research. It also created a uniform patent policy for federal research funding and is codified in 35 U.S.C. §§ 200–212.

• 28 U.S.C. § 1498 is a law that allows the U.S. government to use patented inventions without the patent holder’s permission, provided that the government pays “reasonable and entire compensation” to the patent owner.

EVERYDAY HEROES: Tess adopted Atlas, a golden retriever who had flunked out of service dog school. For six years, Atlas never did any work except to carry in the mail. Then, one day, Tess and Atlas were at the farmer’s market in Boone, North Carolina. Vince, a man two places ahead of them in line, collapsed. He was having a epileptic seizure. Atlas immediately left Tess and pushed himself in under the man’s head and shoulders and lay still. For close to three minutes, Atlas cushioned Vince’s head from the pavement. When Vince’s seizure was over and he could sit up, Atlas moved across his lap and stayed until the ambulance crew asked for room. Tess later called the school where Atlas had trained and learned that seizure response is taught in weeks 10 through 12. Atlas had had the top score in the class. He was flunked out during week 14, because he couldn’t bear to pass a stranger without stopping to say hey.

RACE: The person who posted this photo captioned it, “Slavery is White People’s worst crime.” – The monument in this image is located in Zanzibar; it depicts one of the country’s last slave markets, which was run by Arabs and shut down by Brits.

Arab Muslims ruled Zanzibar from 1698 until 1890 when the British took over. Under Muslim rule, Zanzibar’s economy depended on exporting spices grown by the native Bantu, ivory taken from elephants who were killed for their tusks, and slaves who were kidnapped to be sold to slave traders.

Wikipedia says, “Every year, about 40,000–50,000 slaves were taken to Zanzibar. About a third went to work on clove and coconut plantations of Zanzibar and Pemba, while the rest were exported to Persia, Arabia, the Ottoman Empire and Egypt. Conditions on the plantations were so harsh that about 30% of the male slaves died every year, thus maintaining the demand for more slaves.”

EVERYDAY HEROES: Arlene Mabry, 63, has driven a truck across the country for 22 years, the last eight with a blue heeler named Dutch in the passenger seat.

At a truck stop outside Amarillo, Texas, she ran in to pay and left the driver’s door open with Dutch on the seat. The fuel island camera shows a man in a ball cap climb the steps, lift Dutch out and carry the dog to a pickup. On the video Dutch keeps twisting around to see the truck.

Arlene put the picture from that camera on a truckers’ page that night. Then she parked and waited.

Two days later a driver named Hollis spotted a heeler tied to a fence at a rest area outside Oklahoma City, 260 miles east. He was headed the wrong way. So he handed Dutch up to a driver going west, and that driver handed the dog to another one in Elk City.

The third truck pulled into the Amarillo truck stop a little after midnight. Dutch came down the steps of a stranger’s cab, crossed the lot and went straight up into Arlene’s.

MAHA: I was surprised by this “Long Game” email from Dr. Alex who is generally negative about supplements. I’m so glad he wrote it, because I’ve never even considered taking creatine, yet when I checked it out at Consumer Lab, I found that the research suggests it could help a substantial number of my personal issues.

Dr. Alex writes, “Creatine … is one of the most heavily studied supplements in existence and the evidence behind it is solid, because it helps your muscles produce quick energy, which supports strength, and it helps you preserve muscle as you age, which is exactly what anyone thinking about longevity should care about. But… it only gives you an edge if you actually work your muscles regularly. …

“There’s also a growing body of work, still fairly early, hinting at benefits for the brain, particularly when you’re stressed or running short on sleep, and I’d file that firmly under promising rather than proven, because I’ll always try to tell you which of the two we’re dealing with.”

Grok says about the current status of the appeal: “Trump was convicted in May 2024 on 34 counts of falsifying business records and sentenced Jan. 10, 2025, to an unconditional discharge (no jail, fine, or probation). He has appealed the conviction in New York state appellate court, where it remains pending. Parallel efforts to move the appeal to federal court on immunity grounds have been denied multiple times (most recently Aug. 2026) and are under review by the 2nd Circuit. The process is active now and is not deferred until after his term.”
