Flying cars lift off in China, Dow drops 800; ASIO warns of sabotage, Trump touts ‘Southern Spear,’ and NJ mob-linked college betting ring yields 14 arrests
China starts trial production at the world's first flying-car factory
Xpeng subsidiary Aridge has begun trial runs at a 120,000 square meter plant in Guangzhou, already rolling out a detachable eVTOL for its modular Land Aircraft Carrier. The site is designed for up to 10,000 modules a year and aims to assemble one aircraft every 30 minutes. For now it is focused on process verification, equipment testing, and prototypes for airworthiness certification. The future of transportation, now with more paperwork, because gravity is easier to beat than regulators.
ASIO warns of Chinese sabotage, Australia wrestles with its own off switch
ASIO chief Mike Burgess says Chinese state linked hackers have mapped and in some cases infiltrated critical infrastructure, shifting from theft to the capacity to disrupt telecoms, energy, transport, and finance during a crisis. As Canberra firms up the grid, proposals like mandatory age checks and stricter online limits for minors risk turning security into a domestic nanny switch. The adult move is clear limits on state power, transparent rules for data access, and real protections for speech. Defend the networks without unplugging the freedoms they power.
Trump administration touts Operation Southern Spear against narco-terrorists
The Pentagon rolled out Operation Southern Spear, pitched as securing America’s neighborhood, with Joint Task Force Southern Spear and U.S. Southern Command in the lead. The USS Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group arrived in the region shortly before the announcement, because nothing says neighborhood watch like the biggest aircraft carrier on Earth. It follows a string of lethal force strikes on suspected narco boats, while a bipartisan War Powers attempt to rein in the campaign fell nine votes short of breaking a Senate filibuster on Nov. 6. Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro warned against provoking the condor, Trump claimed Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro dangled oil stakes to stop the strikes, and the Defense Department and SOUTHCOM had no immediate comment.
14 arrested in New Jersey mob linked college sports betting ring
Prosecutors say a Newark based operation took in more than 2 million dollars in illicit wagers on college games. The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office and State Police led the bust, a timely reminder that while student athletes might not get paid, someone always tries to.
Dow drops 800 points as rate cut hopes wobble
Wall Street threw an 800 point fit on whispers that a potential third Federal Reserve rate cut in December might not happen. Apparently nothing spooks markets faster than the prospect of slightly less free money, especially from a crowd that swears it loves fundamentals until the fundamentals forget to hand out candy.
