The News of Today is the History of Tomorrow
IN POLITICAL NEWS
1) As I predicted, "The Moustache," John Bolton, got indicted for diddling with classified info, exactly what they were trying to get Trump on. Bolton's private email was hacked by Iran. Here is Shipwreckedcrew on the indictment. I think Wray, Brennanski and the Clap will be strongly considered for indictments. My guess is that one of the three will get one, the other two walk. But the future is bright at DOJ, as fascist antifa members were arrested on charges of supporting terrorism, which they do. Meanwhile, Kash Patel says many more indictments are coming.
2) For all the spoogesocket leftists who claim Trump is using DOJ to persecute political enemies, Shipwreckedcrew provides the following little chart. The first six rows are the ones Rutabaga persecuted.
3) DemoKKKrats are back to resistance and protesting with the "No Kings" (Who Cares?) protests, which, as this writer argues, will bring them no closer at all to winning anything. Meanwhile, the poor guys over at the Liberal Patriot ask if DemoKKKrats even have a vision? Well, not one that any normal American wants, but as I said in the replies there, the problem is worse than that: Many Americans now see, but won't say, their vision, which is they want everyone else dead.
4) The latest polling from NJ shows a 1-point governor's race. I will not be surprised if Ciatterelli wins this, but do not think Sears-Earle can pull it off in VA.
5) Anyone thinking Gruesome can even run close to J.D. Vance is smokin' the good stuff. Vance leads Gruesome among men and whites by margins even larger than Trump. Oh, and speaking of losing support, Hakeem ("Movin' on Up") Jeffries is losing support nationally among dozens of DemoKKKrat candidates. Meanwhile in AL, a former SEAL now leads in the senate race there as Tommy T heads for the governor's mansion.
6) The Punisher Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, took the press badges from all the Hoax News media, who huffed and puffed.
7) One would expect the Nation, better known as the Aryan Nation, to be freaking about the likely Supes ruling in racial districting. Now the New York Slimes is getting worried about the Supes ruling on the racist district-drawing under DemoKKKrats. Slimes is afraid this will hand the House to Republicans. Dear Slimes: this is why I am not afraid of you one whit. You are behind the curve by MONTHS. The House is already secure with redistricting. What THIS ruling will do is make it impossible to flip enough "tossup seats" for DemoKKKrats to ever win again. The number they are using is 19 lost seats for DemoKKKrats, but Seth Keshel puts the number of R gains at 11-13, or, on top of redistricting, the GOP is looking at 229 to 231 safe R seats. With gerrymandering there is no way even NINE DemoKKKrat lost seats can be recovered. If I were a DemoKKKrat, I'd spend every waking moment trying to "fortify" every single blue district now and forget about flipping anything. In oral arguments on this case, that brilliant Einstein-level intellect, Jumpin' Jackson Brown, compared black people to disabled people in arguing for the special districts. Blacks have now gone to the back of the bus to the short bus. Meanwhile, in other awesome news this DemoKKKrat phony vote ballot harvesting operation was shut down.
8) Oh, and this piece shows older DemoKKKrats are getting crushed by radical youts in the cash wars.
9) John Leake points out a strong LDS/Mormon presence in D.C., especially in foreign service, then asks the question many have asked me: was there a "Mormon Connection" in the Charlie Kirk assassination? He doesn't answer, but this question has been raised a lot.
10) The corrupt DemoKKKrat (but I repeat myself) Stacy M1 Abrams, the Human Planet, had to shut down all her failed ballot harvesting operations. Meanwhile, in FL voting machine company Smartmatic has been charged in multiple bribery indictments.
11) As if Trump didn't have enough money for his Presidential Library already, but he refiled the $15 billion defamation suit against the NYSlimes that was dismissed, this time with new material.
IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS
12) Kollyfornia must be broken up into sections the way the Reconstruction South was and put under military control. Now LA County is going to pay rent and provide legal aid for illegal criminal invaders. The question is, at what point do even a significant portion of the spudbubbler DemoKKKrats there finally say "enough?"
13) Haitian invaders drove all the native-born employees out of the food factory in Charleroi, PA, and now that it's closing, they are stranded.
14) FHA loans were going to illegal criminal alien invaders instead of Americans waiting for loans.
IN CULTURAL NEWS
15) Here is an interesting look at church size in America by Ryan Burge: it appears 400-430 is about the average.
IN ECONOMIC NEWS
16) If AI is a bubble, this is what it looks like. And yeah, duh, AI data centers are building their own power plants, the most recent ones using natural gas.
17) David Blackmon, the Rush Limbaugh of Energy, asks if soaring copper demand is an impediment to growth.
18) Morgan Stanley reported record earnings.
19) Bank of America says there could be trouble in the job market.
20) Also, several regional banks are struggling.
21) There has been a big crypto-crash going on with Bitcoin down 18% in about 10 days. So far, my Unicoin investment can't get past Trump's SEC and to on the market. We're hoping this is resolved.
22) Wow. The USA just posted a nearly $200 billion surplus for September, with $30 billion coming from tariffs. Oh, and speaking of said tariffs, the Whirlpool CEO says the tariffs have helped and his company will invest $300 million in new domestic expansion. More expansion here: and here; and this site provides constant updates on American industrial expansion. Oh, and Trump destroyed the proprosed UN seagoing tax---amazing. No one has stopped these tinpot dictators before.
23) Long-term mortgage rates fell to the lowest in 2025, 6.2%. I got mine for 2.9% back pre-covid.
IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS
24) You'd think these foreign leaders would get the pattern by now. India: "we're going to keep buying gas from the Russkies." Trump: "I'm going to hit you with tariffs and end the H1B visa program." India: "We won't be buying any gas from the Russkies." According to Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent, we may decouple with China entirely if they keep up their hoarding of rare earth minerals.
25) Kash Patel, FBI Director, says foreign espionage arrests are up 50%.
26) The ChiComs have arrested dozens of house pastors.
27) The Qatari energy minister said that Europe's new "ESG" rules may cause his country to stop exporting LNG to the EU.
28) Trump's tariffs have brought the Indian garment industry to its knees.
30) Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party surged in polls after the peace deal.
31) Now hold on. Maybe they have something here. The Tolly-ban have reintroduced public executions in soccer stadiums.
IN ENTERTAINMENT NEWS
32) The new Julia Roberts movie "After the Hunt" is a full-on assault on the "me too/believe the woman" legal assaults on men. It is anti-woke, and the New York Slimes hates it.
33) Ace Frehley, guitarist for KISS, dead at age 74.
IN MEDICAL NEWS
34) The FDA has recalled over 140,000 bottles of a common statin drug.
AND FINALLY . . .
35) This guy is trying to convince Elon Musk to build a tunnel under the Pacific from Russia to the U.S. Hey, what a great idea. Then if Pootie-poot wants to invade, he won't need a navy.
