From The Washington Free Beacon, as mayor of Braddock, PA, senatorial candidate John Fetter(wo)man (D) told his constituents to "eat more vegetables", but is flabbergasted when his rival Dr. Mehmet Oz (R) tells him to do the same. (According to his bio on Wiki, Oz received his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in 1986, so I think he's qualified to give medical advice.)
From the Washington Examiner, President Biden's plan to "forgive" student loan debt faces mounting court challenges.
From The Federalist, 56 Republican congresscritters urge their colleagues to vote against a wasteful spending measure that would keep the government open through the middle of December.

From Euractiv, European leaders suspect sabotage as the cause of the leak in the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

From Ekathimerini, according to a European Commission spokesperson, Turkey should respect Greece's sovereignty.
From the Greek City Times, ancient artifacts found in a salvage excavation go on display at the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus. (Piraeus is the port city for Athens, Greece. I have sailed out of there twice during my own travels.)
From Balkan Insight, Ukraine and Romania promise to help Moldova if the Russian company Gazprom cuts off the natural gas it sends there.
From Total Croatia News, camps and hotels in the Croatian region of Istria continue to break records in this years post-season. (If you read Croatian, read the story at Poslovni Dnevnik and a related story at HRT.)

From The New Arab, King Salman of Saudi Arabia names his son Prince Mohammed bin Salman the country's prime minister.
From The Real Kashmir, two Muslim woman are detained for allegedly vandalizing an idol of the Hindu goddess Durga in Hyderabad, India. (The article never indicates that Hyderabad is in India, as opposed to a city with the same name in Pakistan. Even so, the presence of a Hindu idol in a city in Muslim-majority Pakistan seems very unlikely. Thus, I believe that the site of this alleged incident is probably the Indian city of Hyderabad.)
From News18, four women protesting the death of Mahsa Amini are shot dead in Iran. (Where are the western feminist on this and related developments, or will they just go Sgt. Schulz?)
From Gatestone Institute, China poses a "massive" threat.

From Newsmax, Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) probes the funding of a lithium battery company backed by the Chinese Communist Party.
And from the Mirror, in a "giant leap" for earth defense, NASA smashes a rocket into an asteroid.
