European NatGas Crosses 100-Euro “Psychological Mark” As Winter Supply Fears Mount

European natural gas prices hit triple-digit territory for the first time since December 2022. The energy-stricken continent has already begun drawing from critical stockpiles, with levels well below seasonal norms, as it braces for a cold snap and continued disruption to supplies transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.Benchmark TTF NatGas futures jumped as much as 4.1%, taking prices above 100 euros per megawatt-hour. US NatGas prices remain largely constrained amid ample supplies as El Niño-related warmth spreads across the Lower 48. The chart shows EU NatGas at 32.628 and US gas at 2.773 priced in dollars and per million British thermal units. EU NatGas is trading at about 11.8 times the US price. In other words, the chart shows a widening transatlantic energy divide.The region’s storage facilities are just 75% full, compared with a 10-year average of around 90% for this time of year.Last week, Gas Infrastructure Europe data showed that EU natural gas inventories declined for the first time this year. This is troubling because the EU has entered the withdrawal period with seasonally low inventories, leaving limited buffers to shield the continent from back-to-back cold blasts.What’s next for Europe? A cold blast is expected in parts of continental Europe early next month.Tom Marzec-Manser, director of Europe gas and LNG at Wood Mackenzie, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, “€100 is no doubt a psychological mark and could provide some resistance to further gains.”Marzec-Manser continued, “With the geopolitical situation in the Middle East changing so much at the moment, particularly given the upcoming US midterms, it will not take much to move European gas prices even higher.”Recall that earlier this month, Goldman energy expert Daan Struyven warned that NatGas prices could reach 150 euros per megawatt-hour “by year-end if Persian Gulf LNG exports don’t improve beyond 25% of normal and if the winter realizes 1 std. dev. colder than average.” Read the note here.

Rubio and President Trump told him YES, he can get visas in the US 🇺🇸— Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 28, 2026Brazil Political Crisis?While Democrats, the Democratic Socialists of America, and Alex Soros were cheering on Sunday after the runoff election victory of Brazil’s socialist regime leader, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the left has gone awfully silent as their ally in South America has unleashed a totalitarian crackdown against his opposition. The left claims, whether in the US, Europe, or elsewhere, that it is all about “saving democracy.” In reality, these leftists are all about weaponizing the courts to crush their opponents in what can be viewed as total lawfare and massive hypocrisy.Lula supporters in Brazil celebrate their victory by BURNING the American flag and chanting “Fora Trump”.. The Soros foundation sent Brazil about R$605 million between 2016 and 2023, and over $31 million to 95 NGOs in 2023 alone, according to Gazeta do Povo.. Look at what those NGOs push: dr*g decriminalization, abortion, fewer people in prison, and groups like Sleeping Giants Brasil that organize ad boycotts against right-wing media. RIP BRAZIL— American AF 🇺🇸 (@iAnonPatriot) October 26, 2026Lula Lula Lula! Congrats to Brazil for standing up against authoritarianism once again! 🇧🇷 ⚖️✌️— Alex Soros (@AlexanderSoros) October 26, 2026DSA member and prospective “Squad 2.0” congressman Chris Rabb is part of the election observation delegation in Brazil, where he’s filming videos celebrating Lula’s reelection and warning about American political interference. I’d like to see Rabb bring that same social media, man-on-the-ground energy to Philadelphia’s biggest problem areas. Go stand in an open-air drug market, talk about the addiction crisis, and explain what he’s actually doing to address it. And while we’re at it, election observation delegations should be politically neutral, not de facto cheerleaders for one side. Rabb’s videos celebrating Lula’s victory certainly raise questions about his objectivity as an election observer.— Stu Smith (@thestustustudio) October 26, 2026Here is James Hernández, the YDSA Co-Chair who also sits on DSA’s National Political Committee. She is currently in Brazil as part of an “international delegation observing the Brazilian runoff election” and is overjoyed that the Supreme Court extended voting hours, even though “a lot of stations have already closed.” These DSA delegations hardly seem like impartial election observers when the organization openly declares solidarity with the very political forces whose elections it is supposedly observing.— Stu Smith (@thestustustudio) October 26, 2026The timeline highlights how quickly Brazil’s post-election political crisis has unfolded. Lula won Sunday’s runoff after a Supreme Court decision extended voting by two hours, a move defeated presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro cited in initially seeking to challenge the result. By Monday, Bolsonaro had abandoned plans to seek annulment and said Lula’s federal police had seized his passport and barred him from leaving Brazil.Reports emerged Tuesday that Bolsonaro had traveled through Argentina en route to the US, though Argentine officials denied he had entered the country. By late Tuesday, Brazilian newspaper O Globo reported that he had arrived in Miami.🇪🇨🇧🇷 Avião com o candidato derrotado Flávio Bolsonaro e sua família deixa Guayaquil, no Equador, em direção a Miami, nos Estados Unidos. https://t.co/xhtE6EyU9z— Eixo Político (@eixopolitico) October 28, 2026President Donald Trump said early Wednesday that he would have approved of Bolsonaro traveling to the US, although he believed the senator was in Argentina. Trump has alleged fraud in Brazil’s runoff election.Footage: Trump on Flávio Bolsonaro coming to the U.S.: “Well, I would approve. I think they’re fine people.” https://t.co/enML9ilc3a— Open Source Intel (@Osint613) October 28, 2026The lack of scrutiny from Western news outlets and left-wing NGOs as Lula’s socialist regime imposes court-ordered travel restrictions on Bolsonaro raises concerns about political persecution and the use of overreaching judicial power to attack the opposition. Every mainstream lefty outlet has been quiet about this, and that’s very telling.It is also worth noting that Bolsonaro’s party also dominates the Senate, and Lula’s move to go after his opponent immediately after the election suggests the political crisis is far from over; it’s just beginning.

The Supreme Court, with no noted dissents, has allowed an agreement between Texas and the Department of Justice ending a Biden-era immigration rule to go into effect.The Biden administration adopted the rule in 2024, formally establishing procedures for immigration judges to temporarily pause certain deportation proceedings through a practice known as “administrative closure,” including when migrants were pursuing immigration relief through other federal proceedings. The Supreme Court’s move leaves in place a lower court ruling eliminating that rule, stripping away a procedure that allowed certain deportation cases to be put on hold.Texas sued the federal government in June, arguing that the rule was adopted without proper legal authority.The Department of Justice agreed with Texas, asking the judge overseeing the case to vacate the rule and prevent similar rules from being adopted in the future.JUDGE WHO APOLOGIZED TO ACCUSED WOULD-BE TRUMP ASSASSIN LIGHTS UP DOJ IN HUNTER BIDEN FBI CASEOpponents accused Texas and the Justice Department of colluding to eliminate the Biden-era rule, arguing that the two sides worked together despite being on opposite sides of the lawsuit.On the same day the DOJ made its request, District Judge Reed O’Connor, an appointee of President George W. Bush, granted it.TRUMP-APPOINTED JUDGE SLAMS DOOR ON DOJ AS COURT LOSSES PILE UP DAYS AHEAD OF MIDTERMS’In August, however, three cities with large immigrant populations — Baltimore, Maryland; New Haven, Connecticut; and Columbus, Ohio — joined with Centro Legal de la Raza, an immigrant legal advocacy group, in an effort to intervene in the case and defend the Biden-era rule on appeal.The cities argued that eliminating the rule could lead to residents being deported, reducing their tax revenues and giving them legal standing to challenge the agreement. O’Connor rejected that argument.MAMDANI BLASTS FEDS FOR WAGING ‘CAMPAIGN OF VIOLENCE AND TERROR’ AGAINST NYC’S IMMIGRANTSOn Oct. 9, the three cities and Centro Legal de la Raza asked the Supreme Court to temporarily block the lower court’s judgment while their appeal proceeded, accusing Texas and the federal government of engaging in “egregious collusion” to eliminate the Biden-era rule.Federal lawyers argued that the cities and their allies lacked legal standing to challenge the agreement because they had not demonstrated the concrete injury required for a federal court to consider their claims.

It’s not only college football that has been the focus of my attention over the past three months. It is also the new American pastime that has taken over the kitchen tables of Southern women and is making its way into tailgates on a weekly basis across the country.It’s not a new recipe, or a new table design. Instead, it’s Mahjong.A simple walk to Tiger Stadium on the campus of Louisiana State University during the opening weekend of the college football season certainly changed my outlook on the newest trend sweeping the the nation, one expensive set at a time.LSU IS READY TO PARTY: LANE KIFFIN’S DEBUT BRINGS FIREWORKS TO DEATH VALLEY AFTER REVIVAL-LIKE BUILDUPIt started a few months earlier when I was first introduced to this game, thanks to a friend we’ll just call “Sam” for the sake of keeping the wild world of Mahjong between the groups that play it.I wouldn’t want to give away any secrets, and I would learn over time that this was on the same level as men getting together for a night of poker.The one thing I did not expect to see while making my way into a college football game was four ladies sitting at a table within a tailgate playing this game while others around them were immersed in your normal pregame activities that included alcohol.Did I just stumble into a whole new world?What was it about this game that led to women, and men, finding themselves sitting at a table covered in a ‘mat’ playing with ’tiles’ that were labeled differently and a rule pamphlet that was also used to stir up the same table of ‘craks’, ‘barns’ and ‘dots’.Yes, those are different items used to play Mahjong, which I still have no idea how to play.Also, it had unbeknownst to me, the game had made its way to other tailgates across college football that included Ole Miss, Alabama and Indiana. Yes, I know for a fact it’s being played at other tailgates across this country, even if I haven’t been able to see it firsthand just yet.And why were there so many different colors involved, or why did every playing surface look different?Turns out, I was on the cusp of being astonished at how much this was actually being played around college athletics.No, I’m not just talking about the wives of coaches who might get together on a weekly basis to discuss life while playing this game.I still remember, three or so months ago, when “Sam” told me i’d be surprised to know how many men participate in Mahjong as a way to decompress. More on that later, with a coaching twist.Now, for full disclosure, I have yet to learn the intricate details of this game, nor have I sat down to play a round.And, I’m not just talking about a hand of “cards.” These were elaborate get togethers, with women hosting game nights usually on a rotating basis, while some outings will take place in a local studio or room that could also be used as a storefront.COLLEGE FOOTBALL’S JERRY JONES? TEXAS TECH BOOSTER CODY CAMPBELL DEMANDS RETURN ON INVESTMENTThis turned into an investigative mission to find out how deep this whole Mahjong craze goes.It just so happens that there are actual stores that sell ’tiles’. playing ‘mats’, sets that include marketing agreements with the ‘Grateful Dead’.Yes, the band.How would I know about this?I’m sure by now you are wondering why in the world a sports writer would become so fascinated by a game that is played a majority of the time by women. It probably helps that “Sam” is so into this game that I have been running at system overload for months now, even though I enjoy hearing about these game nights that can most certainly be competitive.So, what did I do?This particular weekend had me in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, not far from home. Besides my algorithm on social media steering me toward different social media pages thanks to my curiosity, I needed to see what all the fuss was about.One google search later I found myself taking a detour on the way to Bryant-Denny Stadium to the Tuscaloosa Mahjong Parlor, just off the boulevard near the University of Alabama campus. The nerves I felt walking into this store were almost as intense as interviewing a head coach following a game, wondering where my brain would take me in the press conference setting.Luckily, Heather Bikes welcomed me into her store that is also home to a business ran by her husband, Steve, like I was just another friend on a random Friday afternoon.The colors were something I had never seen before, with boxes of “sets” stacked eloquently throughout the store. There were also ‘mats’, travel cases and just about anything else one could imagine needed for such a hobby.The awkward introduction by myself as a sports reporter looking to learn more about this game turned into a 45-minute conversation on nearly every single item for sale in this beautiful area designed just to sell the game known as “Mahjong.”And no, sorry guys, this hobby is not cheap.I had to do a double-take when I heard that the colorful “Grateful Dead” set that caught my eye would cost over $400, which I immediately texted “Sam” about in full disbelief.Not because it wasn’t worth it, but more so at how shocked I was to learn how this game had taken on a life of itself over the years, at least in the deep south, and if get caught in the storm it can be pricey. But don’t worry, guysI also didn’t know you could have a Mahjong “hookup” that could get you the same looking game equipment, but for a much cheaper price on what I would normally call the ‘black market’.It was also Heather’s husband, Steve, that reaffirmed my thoughts that this game was essentially the same as poker is for men. A way for women to gather within their communities to either let off some steam, congregate to share details of their life, or actually get into the competitive spirit.Yes, this can also get confrontational at times, with words being traded and attitudes checked at either the tailgate tent or the door to each hosting house.Turns out, this was more relevant than I had imagined, and not just outside the college football stadium in this case.For the sake of not giving other coaches ammunition to use within the group texts within the community of each conference, I decided to hold-off on actually naming the coaches who were drawn into this game by their wives or significant others.Also, there were coaches from six different conferences polled, so it would be hard to pin down a specific school.Thanks to “Sam” giving me the idea, along with a few sources with insider knowledge, I started randomly communicating with a number of college football head coaches to gauge whether they had been pulled into this lifestyle.”Dude, who told you I was playing?” one Power Four head coach responded to my question on whether they had ever played. “I use it as a way to relax, but unfortunately this damn game is addicting. I get home from the office and play a few rounds with my girls and wife.”But man, I thought we were competitive on the football field. This is a whole different animal. I did win a round last month, though.”Then, it was another message to an unsuspecting coach within another conference.”Alright, who gave me up? That’s some bulls—,” another Power Four coach jokingly replied. “Yea Trey, I probably play at least once every two weeks. When you sit down at the table, and you have all of those darn tiles, I was lost for the first couple weeks.”I’ve got my wife over here talking smack, and then I’m getting it from my sister. Then, if I come home and she has friends over, I like to get at least one game in before heading upstairs. Every now and then I’m allowed to sit for a few rounds until it’s time for me to leave the room so they can continue their night. If you’re going to play, you better lock in, because they don’t cut you any slack after a few practice rounds.”For full transparency, I sent inquiries to ten different head coaches over a two-day period asking if they had ever played Mahjong.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEOut of the 10, six of them let me know they had at least played the game, with five of them informing me that they actually partake on a monthly basis.”I’m so confused most of the time, but it also gives me something that allows me to spend some extra time with my daughters,” another head coach told OutKick. “So, if I get an extra hour a week with them over this game, I’ll one day figure out a way to beat them.”They don’t know it yet, but I’ve been watching tutorials online.”THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!And while I admit that I have not had enough time to sit down and learn the intricate details of this phenomenon that was first brought to my attention through “Sam’s” weekly game nights, I can now say that I at least understand the craze that comes with it.My wandering mind has sent me all across this country investigating stories related to college athletics.In no way did I expect to see Mahjong intersect with college football. But, I also got to see this game through someone else’s eyes, which will make this easier once I finally get the time to learn, I hope.I guess that’s the best part about my job.You learn something new every day, or at every tailgate.

Trump speaks to reporters at Joint Base Andrews
President Trump said on Wednesday that he approves of conservative Brazilian presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of persecuted former President Jair Bolsonaro, fleeing to the US after his election was stolen and the regime targeted him. 
Bolsonaro was the clear frontrunner, but the fix was in on election day.
Voting hours were extended by two hours on election day in an unprecedented move while Bolsonaro was leading. Lula da Silva pulled off a win after the extension was ordered by his personal attorney and Brazilian Justice Christiano Zanin.
Trump previously responded to the rigged election, highlighting the “very strange” extension.
“It looked terrible to me. I thought it was terrible-looking. I didn’t take sides, but it looked like another rigged election, frankly,” Trump told reporters on Monday. “I didn’t take sides, but it was a terrible look for the world.”
Trump continued, “You know, elections have to be indisputable, and it looked very bad to me. I didn’t take sides. I didn’t endorse anybody or anything. But I watched the election, and it looked so, so corrupt, so terrible.”
WATCH:

Since the election, Bolsonaro has been ordered by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to hand over his passport after challenging the corrupt results.
Now, he has reportedly arrived in the United States, fleeing persecution from the Communist regime.
Overnight, upon returning to Washington, DC, from midterm rallies in Texas, Trump told reporters he “would certainly approve” of Bolsonaro coming to the US, but said that he had “heard he was in Argentina,” not America.
“The election was very strange, and I thought it was terrible,” Trump said. “Would I approve of it? Yeah, I would approve. It would be okay with me.”
“I didn’t take sides. Lula, I know. I know Flavio a little bit. I know the father very well. The father was treated really badly, I thought, but I wasn’t involved. That’s Brazil; it’s a different country,” he added. “I thought I’d stay out of that one. I thought the end result, you know, it’s fine the end result. But the way they got to the end result was terrible.”
