Texas judge urges Christians to get out and vote
 'if you care about souls' 
A Texas county judge says Christians “who care about souls” have a duty to get out and vote in the midterm elections next month, saying it's imperative for churches to mobilize voters. 
 
During an appearance on the “Wake Up Church” podcast Tuesday, Tarrant County Judge Tim O’Hare spoke with Pastor Chris Cheema of Mercy Culture Church in Fort Worth about faith, family, government and elections and described how his Christian beliefs shape his approach to public office.
 
“What is at stake is our American way of life,” O’Hare said. “What is at stake is freedom. What is at stake is the ability to freely worship. What is at stake is the ability to tell others about Jesus.”
 
O’Hare, the Republican incumbent running against Democratic Commissioner Alisa Simmons for Tarrant County judge, also encouraged Christians to vote and to persuade others in their communities to participate in elections. “If you care about souls, it’s not enough to go to church and sit in there and sing on Sunday mornings,” he said. “If you care about souls, you get out and vote.” (Christian Post) Read More Here 
Abba Father, we pray You would empower the words of Texas County Judge Tim O'Hare, and others, encouraging Christians to save America and future generations by voting! We pray this current election would AWAKEN church congregations around our nation to vote biblically and motivate other believers to join them at the polls as well.  We lift praise for organizations, such as 'Liberty and Justice' in Tarrant Country, Texas, which encourages Christians to get involved in running for elections and school board positions within their own communities and states.  In the Name of Jesus we ask for a mighty move of Holy Spirit to secure legitimate elections and also position Christians in high-places of authority, so they may boldly stand for righteousness and cause realignment towards God's holy ways across our nation! By the Blood of the Lamb, we pray- Amen.

Israeli Ceremony Marks 3rd Anniversary of October 7th as Trump Explains Bomber Removal from UK Base

Israel marked three years since the October 7th Hamas massacre on Monday, lowering flags to half-staff. The National Remembrance Day is observed each year on the Hebrew calendar, two days after Simchat Torah, the holiday on which the horrific attack occurred in 2023.

At the solemn ceremony, leaders joined in remembering the 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage in the terrorist attack.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog laid a wreath and called for a full investigation into the failures that allowed the attack.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu focused on what he believes is still yet to be done.

“We achieved tremendous accomplishments, but there are still tasks ahead of us, and we intend to complete them. In Gaza, there will be no rule by Hamas. Anyone who was involved in the attack against us, anyone who held our people hostage, is living on borrowed time. We will reach him, just as we reached the others," the prime minister declared.

Defense Minister Israel Katz insisted that Israel is making good on that promise. He said that about 6,000 terrorists crossed into Israel on October 7th, and the Israel Defense Forces have now killed 4,000 of them. He warned that the IDF intends to eliminate the remaining two thousand.

On Tuesday, thousands of Christians plan to gather at Jerusalem's Western Wall in what organizer, Friends of Zion Founder Mike Evans, describes as the largest prayer event in history. (CBN) Read more

Holy One of Israel, we join our prayers with those who are in the land and pray for Your grace to bring forth victory and righteousness, in Jesus' name. We bind the anti-semitic hostilities in our nation and pray for Your light to shine forth to all mankind. 

"Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9:7)

Red States Combine Forces to Choke Off Abortion Pill Pipeline

Like a lot of girls her age, Rosalie Markezich knew the standard talking point about mifepristone. Don’t worry, the online sites say. It’s just like taking a Tylenol. “Well, I’ve taken a lot of Tylenol in my lifetime,” she tells people now, and “it has never killed my child. It has never ruined my life, and it has never made me bleed for over a week.”

Unlike most moms, Rosalie never got the chance to hear that lie from her doctor, because she didn’t ask for a prescription in the first place. Her boyfriend ordered the pills in her name, and without any sort of ID or verification, the drugs magically showed up at her house. “I told him, ‘No thank you. I do not want you to do that, and I do not want them.’ Well, [he] found the website. He filled it out all with my personal information that I did not give him to use … [and] $150 later, he successfully ordered abortion pills through the mail from a [California] doctor named Remy Coeytaux, shipped directly to my doorstep.”

When he forced her to swallow them, her plan was to go inside and throw them up. But it was too late. “That night, I laid on a blood-soaked towel by myself, choking on my own breath. I remember my body rejecting it, rejecting its own breath — the one thing that it needs. I was praying to God, ‘Please take me too.’” Now, filled with grief and anger at how the government has robbed her of everything the Left insists this debate is about — choice, privacy, and safety — she’s fighting back. 

“The FDA was wrong,” Rosalie said emotionally at the Pray Vote Stand Summit. “They allowed these drugs. They allowed them to go through the mail. They knew the warnings. They knew what could happen. And yet they are still sending them through the mail after seeing firsthand what it has done to women and children.” (Washington Stand) Read more

Oh Father God, these horrific stories are becoming horribly common and we declare an end to all of this evil-doing, in Jesus' name. We cry out for every agency involved to be brought to its knees before Your divine justice – FDA, Postal Service, pharmaceuticals, medical community, everyone, because of the Word of God. We pray against every layer of inducement to bring death and destruction and ask You O King to cover women under the shadow of Your wings so they can resist threats, protect and give life to their unborn babies. We forgive those who have gotten ensnared in deception and fear, in Jesus' name, and would You show them the way to find someone who will love them and their babies into life.

"Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked. They do not know, nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are unstable." (Psalm 82:3-5)

Five Economic Facts the Media Don’t Want You to Know

Biased legacy media are prone to report the news that supports their liberal narratives, and ignore news that doesn’t, particularly when it comes to the health of the nation’s economy. Here are five economic facts you might not have seen reported – because the media don’t want you to know about them:

  1. Inflation is lower during President Donald Trump’s second term in office than it was during the Biden Administration.

  2. Despite the war with Iran, the price of gas during Trump’s second term has never come close to its spike during Biden’s time in the White House.

  3. Real wages stagnated under Biden, but have grown in both of Trump’s presidencies.

  4. President Trump’s 2025 tax cut bill lowered the average household’s taxes by nearly three thousand dollars.

  5. Mortgage rates more than doubled under Biden, but fell in Trump’s first term and has held steady during his second.

When it comes to the cost of a gallon of gas (regular), the all-time high was set on June 13, 2022 during Biden’s presidency, when it hit $5.11, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. As of Tuesday, the highest price during either of Trump terms in office was $4.63, reached on May 11, 2026. (Newsbusters) Read more

Holy One, we pray for this information to be shouted from the housetops. We bind the incessant deception coming through the media manipulation, with the plan to sway elections because they can control the message. We thank You for this positive news and pray for it to inform people about President Trump's accomplishments and provide constructive guidance regarding the coming elections, in Jesus's name.

"And the Lord said, 'Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.'" (Luke 12:42-44)

FBI Tracked Teenage Barron Trump, First Lady
Newly declassified records reveal the Biden-era FBI tracked the movements of Melania and Barron Trump as agents prepared to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate — sparking fresh accusations that federal law enforcement was weaponized against the Trump family.

The documents, released by the White House Monday, detail an investigation code-named “Plasmic Echo,” which was later taken over by former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Agents monitored the travel of then-former first lady Melania Trump and Barron Trump while determining when to execute the August 2022 search of Trump’s Palm Beach home, Fox News reported.

The records also show investigators obtained call-detail information involving Susie Wiles, who was working in Trump’s political orbit and is now White House chief of staff. The surveillance captured information including phone numbers, times and duration of calls — not the contents of conversations.

“Jack Smith’s surveillance operation was a disgraceful abuse of government power,” White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. “Spying on political opponents is weaponization of law enforcement, plain and simple.” (toddstarnes.com)  Read more
Holy King, we, Your people and covenant nation, are governed by the rule of law, yet we have shocking law-breaking taking place at the highest levels, which remains unprosecuted. We cannot stand for this unrighteousness to be permitted, so we ask for Your justice to move upon this land and within our government, in Jesus' name. We pray for Your protection over Melania and Barron Trump, as well as the rest of the family and ask Holy King, for Your wisdom to address this matter and compel prosecution, in the righteous name of Jesus. 

"Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves." (Romans 13:2)

1. Netanyahu: Hamas will try to influence election with terror attacks, Israel is prepared - Jerusalem Post

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Hamas on Tuesday against attempting attacks ahead of Israel’s October 27 Knesset election, saying Israel would thwart such efforts and respond with “tremendous force” if the terrorist organization tried to influence the vote.

“Precisely because Hamas is so weak, it will try to challenge us with the remnants of its forces ahead of the elections in an attempt to influence them,” Netanyahu said at the opening of the cabinet meeting.

“We are prepared for this. First and foremost, we will thwart such attempts, and in any event, we will respond with tremendous force if they make that mistake,” he added.

2. Israel’s Consul General in New York Invites Mamdani to Watch Oct. 7 Footage at Israeli Memorial Ceremony - Algemeiner

Ofir Akunis, the consul general of Israel in New York, has publicly invited New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to attend a screening of footage from the deadly terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, that is being held on the third anniversary of the Hamas -led massacre.

Akunis commemorated the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 atrocities on Monday night with an event at New York’s Kehilath Jeshurun Synagogue. Roughly 1,000 people were in attendance, including consuls general, elected officials, and community leaders.

In his speech, Akunis said that on Wednesday, which marks three years since the attack, the consulate will host a screening of a 47-minute film documenting the massacre through real-life footage captured by Hamas terrorists during their deadly rampage, in which they killed 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. Akunis invited Mamdani, a far-left democratic socialist and avowed anti-Zionist, to attend the screening. (Read more)

3. 1,200 crew members from banned countries entered Israel - Israel National News

This number takes on an entirely different meaning after the attempted hijacking: More than 1,200 airline crew members from countries without diplomatic relations with Israel have entered the country since the beginning of the year - including crew from Syria, Lebanon and Oman.

The figure, reported Tuesday by Kan News, emerged days after the attempted hijacking of a Flydubai flight to Tel Aviv - and particularly after it was revealed that the Omani pilot at the center of the affair had previously raised concerns in his home country.

Imam Al-Hamami was not a pilot who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. According to reports, authorities in Oman had already noticed his online activity and concluded that he was showing excessive interest in radical ideology. The concern was serious enough that he was not allowed to continue working as a pilot for the national carrier, Oman Air.

4. Severe poisoning attack kills nine sheep, shepherding dog near Alon Road
- Israel National News

Nine sheep and a shepherding dog died Tuesday, while more than 40 additional sheep were affected in a poisoning incident in grazing areas on a hill near Alon Road in the Binyamin region.

According to local residents, a terrorist cell from the village of al-Mughayyir entered the grazing area and poured a toxic substance into a water trough used by local flocks.

The flock reached the trough in the afternoon. Shepherds said that shortly after drinking from the contaminated water, dozens of sheep began convulsing and showing severe symptoms of poisoning. (Read more) 

5. Exclusive: Israel preparing for the 'massive' aliyah from France as riots rock the country - i24 News

Israel is preparing for a massive influx of Jews from France, i24NEWS learned on Tuesday.

"In light of the riots in France, we must prepare a plan to absorb a massive immigration of Jews," Aliyah and Integration Minister Ofir Sofer told the government.

Settlements Minister Orit Strock said in the same meeting that "Jews are currently afraid to walk the streets. We need to prepare for the possibility that there will be attempts to harm them." (Read more)

1. Exclusive: FBI Has Blocked over $1 Billion in Theft by Cyber Criminals Since January 2025 - Breitbart

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Recovery Asset Team has denied more than $1 billion in attempted cyber theft since January 2025, which is a 16 percent increase over the same period under the previous administration, the bureau told Breitbart News on Thursday.

FBI Director Kash Patel, in figures the FBI Office of Public Affairs provided exclusively to Breitbart News, credited the recovery total to what the bureau described as a wholesale rebuild of its cyber operations. Patel said the number shows a shift in how the bureau confronts financial criminals.

Ben Williamson, an assistant director in the FBI Office of Public Affairs, tied the recovery figures to Operation Blackout, the bureau’s campaign against overseas scam compounds. Williamson said the operation has seized roughly $17 billion, arrested hundreds of suspects, freed thousands of trafficked workers, warned more than 10,000 Americans before they lost money, and prevented an estimated $660 million in losses. 

The intelligence chief said older Americans make up the bulk of the victims. The bureau has referred 99 victims for suicide intervention, seized 584 scam websites, and sent 7,670 fraudulent accounts to private companies for action, according to Fox News Digital.

Praise God and thank You for this great accomplishment on behalf of all of us, seniors especially, who have been subject to the numberless efforts made to scam people out of their hard-earned money. We pray for there to be unshakeable prosecutions and imprisonments, in Jesus' name and most especially that there will be avenues for people to recover some portion of the amounts that have been stolen from them. 

"'Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, Who write misfortune, Which they have prescribed To rob the needy of justice, And to take what is right from the poor of My people, That widows may be their prey, And that they may rob the fatherless. What will you do in the day of punishment, And in the desolation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?'" (Isaiah 10:1-3)

2. 4 in 10 young adults have positive view of Islamic Sharia extremism - WND

A series of polls has revealed that young adults, those ages 18-24, have a stunning perspective on Islam's Sharia laws, with 43% holding a "positive" view.

This would be the laws that advocate chopping hands off thieves, stoning those involved in adultery and tossing homosexuals off of buildings.

It is a report at the Federalist that explained Justin Haskins, of Our Republic, which did some of the polling, cited a lack of understanding about the "value [of] the Constitution and the protections it provides."

"Sharia is a system of Islamic religious principles and law, derived primarily from the Quran and the teachings and practices of Muhammad, that addresses matters including religious practice, personal conduct, family life, finance, and often civil and criminal law," the pollsters explained.

"Young voters were also substantially more likely to support requiring public schools to teach children about the benefits of Sharia. Twenty-four percent of voters ages 18–24 and 31% of those ages 25–29 support such a requirement, compared with just 3% of voters age 40 and older." Read more

Mighty God, this is an eye-opening revelation about our young people, what they have been taught and what they believe. Holy One, we pray for an outpouring of the Might, Glory and Power of Jesus to be flowing among these young voters, so they can know the difference between Jehovah God and the moon-god allah. We pray for all citizens of the US to become informed about the dangers of islam and sharia law and how violently it is enforced and how hostile it is to anyone who does not follow. We pray for Christianity to be the "trump card" of our national sovereignty, in Jesus' name.  

"Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."
(1 Corinthians 10:6-8)

3. US Treasury Moves to Strip Tax Status From Soros, SPLC and CAIR
- Breaking Christian News

Tax-exempt status is a privilege the public grants, and when a charity pays nothing, everyone else picks up the difference. ... That arrangement has always come with conditions: a 501(c)(3) must operate for charitable or educational purposes, stay out of partisan politics, and obey the law. Open Society is the largest of the three. Now chaired by Alexander Soros, George Soros' son, the foundation distributes billions of dollars to activist groups worldwide. The Post reported that its beneficiaries include Black Lives Matter, the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights, and United We Dream Action, which works to block the deportation of illegal immigrants. The Soros network has also funded the election of soft-on-crime district attorneys in cities across the country, and families in those cities have lived with the consequences. 

According to a recent Facebook post from Ken Blackwell, the Treasury Department is building a case to revoke the tax-exempt status of three of the most influential activist organizations on the left: George Soros' Open Society Foundations, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and the IRS are drafting plans that could strip the 501(c)(3) designation from all three groups, a move that would expose them to back taxes, civil penalties, and the loss of donor tax deductions that have fueled their work for decades.

Let's pray for Treasury Secretary Bessent and the IRS officials working on this investigation, that they would pursue the facts without fear or favor and hold every organization accountable to the same standard regardless of its political alignment. Let's pray for lawmakers in Congress who have the authority to reform the tax code, that they would close loopholes that allow activist groups to exploit charitable status for political ends. Let's pray for families in cities where Soros-funded district attorneys have refused to prosecute violent crime, that they would see justice restored and that their communities would be made whole. And let's pray for a tax system that treats every American equally, remembering Proverbs 29:4: a king who gives justice makes the land stable, but one who takes bribes tears it down. 

[IFAPray.org] Lord, we pray for Treasury Secretary Bessent and the IRS officials working on this investigation, that they would expose all corruption among these companies and organizations and bring accountability. Amen. Read more

This is a huge HalleluJah and answer to prayer. We thank You Father for bringing this issue into the light of day so it can be examined and brought under the law, in Jesus' name. We have prayed much into defeating the bottomless money pit that seems to always be found with the wicked deeds, so we give praise and ask You Father to utterly remove every bit of access to these bad actors, in Jesus name. 

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." (1 John 2:15-17)

4. University of Wisconsin Researchers ‘Helped China Tighten Its Surveillance Machine’ During Yearslong Partnership, Investigation Finds - Free Beacon

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin worked for nearly a decade with partners in China on sensitive technology projects that likely helped China build its notorious domestic surveillance apparatus, including in Xinjiang province, where the Chinese are accused of brutal repression of the ethnic Uyghur population, a new report has found.

The quiet partnership between Wisconsin's flagship Madison campus and multiple Chinese entities developed technologies "that further entrench China's surveillance state — and that also have significant dual-use implications" for the Chinese military, according to the investigation by the global intelligence firm Strategy Risks.

In some cases, these research projects benefited from U.S. federal grant funding, underscoring how American taxpayers can end up unwittingly supporting research projects linked to the build-out of Beijing's security apparatus. Wisconsin academics "conducted joint research with a sanctioned Chinese defense conglomerate, and participated in Tianlai, a radio-astronomy project centered on a telescope array in Xinjiang, a region fraught with sanctions compliance risks due to the Chinese government’s campaign of ethnic cleansing there," according to Strategy Risks' findings. Read more 

Mighty King, this is such very troubling news, we pray for an immediate stop to all collaboration totally, in Jesus' name. We pray that everything that can be dismantled, be taken down and brought under all American authority, in Jesus' name. We pray for those who enabled the joint activities and research with the Chinese government be brought under investigation and potential prosecution and that all financing is frozen immediately and every bit of technology sharing is routed straight through our trusted agencies, in Jesus's name. We also pray for the people in China who have been the victims of such surveillance and tracking technology, whether they are Christians or muslims or dissidents and we ask You Father to minister Your light to them.

"'Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?" Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down,' says the Lord." (Obadiah 2-4)

5. Georgia Election Board Asks Trump DOJ to Declare Statewide Dominion QR-Code Machines UNLAWFUL Before Midterms — Demands Six-Month Phase-Out as Raffensperger Stonewalls - The Gateway Pundit

Georgia’s Republican-controlled State Election Board has formally invited the Trump Department of Justice to step in and shut down the Peach State’s unverifiable, QR-code voting system before voters start casting ballots in the 2026 midterms.

In a September 30 letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, State Election Board Executive Director James Mills asked the DOJ to prohibit the use of “unreadable, unverifiable QR-code-based vote tabulation and any other electronic tabulation method that does not permit the voter to verify the vote that is actually counted,” concerning Georgia’s Dominion voting system, now owned by Liberty Vote USA.

Mills also asked Blanche to set a binding six-month deadline, forcing Georgia to dump the machines and move to a system with voter-verifiable, hand-auditable paper records.

The letter, obtained and published by the Georgia Recorder, was copied to Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Read more

Father, we pray for DOJ AG Blanche to respond favorably to this request by the Georgia Election Board Executive Director to stop this corrupt strategy for tabulating the election votes cast, in Jesus' name. May Georgia be a state that returns to a traditional, trustworthy way votes have been cast and counted for many years. We pray for this to be a watershed event that brings electronic and automated vote "counting" under the scrutiny of citizens and justice, in Jesus' name. We pray for fair and reliable elections in Georgia and every other state of this nation, in the name of Jesus.

"'Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, "You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord." But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. But let your "Yes" be "Yes," and your "No," "No." For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.'"
(Matthew 5:33-37)
6. Jim Bakker, famed televangelist felled by scandal, dies at age 86 - Just The News

Jim Bakker, the powerhouse television evangelist felled by a 1980s sex and financial scandal, died Monday at the age of 86. 

Bakker's second wife, Lori, announced the death in a post on his TV show's official Instagram account. “It is with a broken heart that I share that my beloved husband, Jim Bakker, went home to be with the Lord this evening,” Lori Bakker wrote in the post.

“For 66 years, Jim gave his life to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was a pioneer of Christian television, but to me, he was my husband, my best friend, and the man I was honored to walk beside through so many seasons of life and ministry," she added.

Prince of Peace, we give praise for this brother who lived his life for You under the scrutiny of the whole world. His sins were public and visible, for which he paid a price; however, he never stopped preaching the goodness of God to the lost and perishing, which is more than most of us can say. We bless Jim's family and pray for their peace and comfort at this sad time and we thank You Jesus, our Savior, for making the way for every one of us to be forgiven and redeemed no matter what kind of foul sins we have committed. May we all be found doing the work of the Father as Jim Bakker did faithfully, in Jesus's name.

"'You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. '" (Matthew 5:14-16)

DOD Misrepresents COVID Pregnancy Data

The Daily Jot, Bill Wilson, October 6, 2026

The Defense Department’s 2025 study concluding that COVID vaccination was not associated with increased adverse pregnancy outcomes among active-duty women actually excluded pregnancies ending in spontaneous abortion from its study population. A separate DoD infertility study likewise did not directly answer the miscarriage question. Yet DoD’s own medical surveillance system tracks thousands of service members annually under pregnancy-related diagnostic categories. The government had an extraordinary opportunity to answer one of the most controversial COVID vaccine safety questions using one of the nation’s most closely monitored populations. Instead, it misrepresented a most important cohort.

The study examined 39,355 active-component service women who had a singleton (one baby from one pregnancy) delivery, either a live birth or stillbirth, between 2021 and 2023. Researchers used individual Defense Medical Surveillance System records to identify COVID infections and vaccination histories. They reported that vaccination before or during pregnancy was not associated with increased odds of the adverse pregnancy outcomes they examined. Yet buried in the study’s limitations is a critical admission: “pregnancies that ended in abortion, spontaneous or otherwise, were not included.” The researchers themselves acknowledged that this exclusion could introduce selection bias. Put simply, a woman who miscarried before reaching delivery never entered the study population used to reach the pregnancy-safety conclusion. Read More

Tropical rainstorm in Gulf likely to become Atlantic's first hurricane before striking US
AccuWeather meteorologists are forecasting a tropical rainstorm to strengthen into the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic season and bring flooding rain and high winds to the U.S. central Gulf Coast this weekend.

A mass of thunderstorms, currently in the Bay of Campeche, is forecast by AccuWeather to track northeastward and quickly ramp up to a tropical storm before peaking as a hurricane while over the central Gulf. Landfall along the central Gulf Coast is expected this weekend.

The next name on the list of tropical storms for the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is Isaias.

Should the storm become a hurricane, as AccuWeather meteorologists believe, it would be the first of the 2026 season and the latest first hurricane to form in over 100 years.

Waters in the Gulf are well into the 80s F and above the approximate 80-degree threshold for tropical development.

"The only inhibiting factor will be varying amounts of wind shear," AccuWeather Lead Hurricane Expert Alex DaSilva said. Wind shear tends to disrupt the circulation of tropical storms and hurricanes, which can prevent them from strengthening and even cause them to lose intensity.

The AccuWeather RealImpact™ Scale for Hurricanes is less than one for Mexico. This scale rates the storm in terms of flooding, wind damage, risk to lives, property and commerce. A RealImpact rating for the U.S. is forthcoming. (Accuweather) Read More
