    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Several forces (and I have my suspicions who) are trying to drive muy-MAGA people out of the administration: Wiles, Patel, and Hegseth. They are using hoaxified "sources" to claim Trump is displeased. Nope. Trump said he's happy with Kash. And as Patrick Ruffini shows, Trump isn't losing MAGA at all---but he is slipping with indies, whose #1 issue is the economy. Once the economy turns, they are back. 2) Nothing But Communists (NBC) is very upset that X's new policy places locations of posters in the Tweet. Lo and behold, a large majority of the "influencers" anti-Trump stuff was coming from India and Israel. 3) DemoKKKrats supposedly are going to pour "eight figures" into the midterms---from where? They're broke. The DNC just has to BORROW $15m to stay afloat. 4) A judge (who else?) dismissed cases against James Scrotumtoter Comey and Letitia James, saying the prosecuting attorney, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed. And this judge blocked Trump from eliminating four agencies. 5) An illegal street takeover in Queens, NY, turned violent. Get ready for more with the Amazing Zohran. 6) The Pentagon opened an investigation into the seditious moonman Sen. Mark Kelly. Moonman and others did a video encouraging members of the military to disobey orders that come from President Trump. This evil demonspooge needs to be given the William Wallace treatment, sans "freedom." Not to be outdone by his fellow glandmagnet in AZ, fraudulent senator El Pollo Gallego threatened any military who court martial Moonman with "consequences." By the way, the soft and pudgy-looking El Pollo Gallego trashed DemoKKKrat men, saying they look like women. Well, hold on partner. Are you talking about "women" like Lia Thomas? Cus most DemoKKKrat men look like that man. 7) The Pentagon will end a century long partnership with Scouting America over wokeness. 8) President Trump has launched an AI initiative he compared to the Manhattan Project. Jeff Childers assessed this "Genesis" project this way: If successful, the Genesis inflection point could soar far beyond “just” technology. It could reshape economies, geopolitics, education, culture, arts, and even the essential meanings of human creativity, responsibility, and discovery. It is potentially the ultimate pivot from “human-driven advancement” to “machine-accelerated civilization.” DOE must review and inspect and approval ALL research labs using AI-directed workflow. But then he says something I (and George Gilder) have said for some time: that authoritarian/totalitarian (dare we say, DemoKKKrat?) societies are not compatible with AI. It is impossible to control. As Jeff adroitly notes, Trump sees opportunity and a "profitable asset where everyone else saw bureaucratic chaos." 9) The ridiculous snoot-tooter mayor of New Azteca (LA) celebrates the first house rebuilt since the wildfires in Pacific Palisades last year. Only problem? It was already approved for construction by a developer before the fires. 10) Meanwhile, in New Kabul (NYC), the Amazing Zohran has brought an anti-cop activist onto his transition team. I know, "transition team" may mean something new these days. 11) And in yet another hellhole big city, Benghazi-by-the-Lake, mayor Let's Go Brandon Williams says that jailing violent criminal is unholy. Having them set fire to peaceful citizens, to shoot up birthday parties, or to attack people on the streets is holy, I guess. 12) Parents are suing a CO school after their teen daughter was forced to share a bed with a male. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 13) The Rutabaga regime forced airports to house unvetted illegal criminal invaders. 14) Of course they do. Minnesota DemoKKKrats are defending the Somali fraudsters. But of course a lib female judge overturned the conviction of one Somali spoogebucket convicted of stealing $7.2m in welfare funds. 15) Another 20 were arrested in a human trafficking sting in WI and IL. Once again, where are these leads coming from? (Epstein?) IN CULTURAL NEWS 16) Interesting survey here on sex and age differences. Among other things, da youts pray for themselves more than for others; young men increasingly see drinking as a moral problem; and young women just want to "express themselves," no matter who they hurt. IN TRANSOID NEWS 17) The "world's strongest woman" was stripped of his title because it's a man, baby. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 18) This is becoming a thing: Americans are saying one thing with regards to the economy, doing another, as spending at restaurants and bars is rising despite their stated "sour mood." Overall retail sales ticked up last month. 20) Tyson will shut down a beef plant due to dwindling cattle supplies. 21Now that illegals are being given the boot, housing prices in major cities are finally starting to fall. 22) The oversupply of college-educated people has increased. 23) McKinsey says AI could replace up to 57% of American work hours.

    *Note: I will be Steve Bannon's Thanksgiving Day guest for two full hours! Join us as we discuss Thanksgiving, America's founding and all sorts of good stuff. Also, I am appearing in two different segments coming up (but don't have a date) on Chanel Rion's news show). Meanwhile, we have FOUR great "Black Friday" offers that include autographed book packages and book/curriculum packages at www.wildworldofhistory.com. And remember, my new X handle is @WallsOther. IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) Do-nothing AG Pam Bondi just fixed yet another or Rutabaga's little toxic easter egg by moving two death row murderers whos sentences Rutabaga commuted to Supermax prison. Meanwhile, however, this sore is festering and the DOJ must act, as still more GOP names on the "Arctic Frost" list were discovered. Bondi is going to have to arrest someone on this. It's getting just too big to ignore. 2) High-profile Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene will step down from her GA house seat in January, unhappy that President Trump hasn't shown her more love. In part she's miffed that the RNC hasn't given her more money. But the GOP unfortunately is full of grifters who constantly appear on X or Faux News but who get nothing done. Greene whined that she "introduced" a number of bills that went nowhere. Well, toots, I got news for ya: NOBODY'S BILL GOES ANYWHERE UNLESS YOU PERSONALLY BUILD A COALITION (which means that horrid word, "compromise"). The Marines say "improvise, adapt, and overcome." The Phoenix Suns say, "Screw the refs! We'll win anyway." But too many of our people act like they are owed leadership support (see: Masshole) without doing a single thing to bring support to the table. In the film industry no production company will talk to you unless you bring money to the table first. 3) President Trump had a cordial and totally disarming meeting with the Amazing Zohran, pledging to help NYC. This sets up the Amazing Zohran to take the entire fall if things go into the toilet, which they apparently already are starting to do: the Police Commissioner said "We need more cops." Amazing Zohran said, "men, you have enough." 4) A liberal goonspoon judge released a criminal with 72 arrests in Benghazi-by-the-Lake. He promptly set a woman on fire. UPDATE: following an uproar, the goonspoon kept this toadsmoker in jail. Elsewhere in Benghazi-by-the-Lake, there is growing outrage over shootings in the "Loop" during a Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony where 14 were injured, 8 teens were shot and a kid was killed. Meanwhile, "Let's Go Brandon" has a personal security team of over 100. Oh, and speaking of crime, this analysis of the national crime data (which only records crimes sent to it, meaning in liberal states, they don't share, meaning again their crime #s are usually low) shows that New Mexico leads the nation in both violent and property crime. Then there is this crime, where a former Phoenix hottie news anchor was charged with China Virus wire fraud scheme. I dunno. I might lean "not guilty." For her, not me. 5) Good news here, as the Supes reinstated the TX redistricting map (which was halted by another goonspoon judge). That means in all likelihood the Supes will side with TX. 6) DemoKKKrats are just doing so well leading up to the midterms that they are broke, and had to take out a $15 million loan. 7) It looks like Trump will designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist org this week. 8) WA state seems to be in a depravity race with OR. Now the state sentencing commission recommended judges lighten sentences for adults caught in on-line sex stings. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 9) Somali "immigrants" in MN have been discovered to be involved in multiple massive fraud schemes. President Trump had enough, ending deportation protection for the Somalis. 10) A raid in NC saw 250 illegals arrested, while Border Patrol found a 3,000 foot long "drug tunnel" under San Diego. IN CULTURAL NEWS 11) The United Methodist Church is experiencing a "financial house on fire." Maybe if you preached being refined by fire once in a while, you'd have some tithes. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 12) Zillow says housing affordability has improved to a three-year high. 13) Massive winter blackouts may be coming due to data centers' heavy energy use. Well, I told ya this was coming. Next will be water. 14) The FAA is looking to hire 8,900 air traffic controllers in the next three years due to a looming crisis. 15) With the SpewMore Shutdown over, airlines are expecting a record number of travelers this Thanksgiving. IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS 16) A French general said France must be prepared to lose its children in a war with Russia. Otherwise he said, "we are weak." I guess with the declining birth rates in France they'd be ready to lose all three kids? 17) This analysis of Hitler's DNA, which was obtained through blood on the couch where he shot himself and living relatives showed he was nuttier than a barn owl on meth. It turns out the OSS (...

    IN POLITICAL NEWS 1) AG Pam Bondi says she will obey Trump's instructions to release all Epstein files within 30 days. This was a master class in manipulating the pathetic DemoKKKrats. Trump called the files a "hoax" and acted like he wanted to talk about other issues. In fact, he was baiting the DemoKKKrats to demand release of the files that incriminated . . . THEM. And, you know, when James Brown (Maxine Waters) passed the stupidity torch, she handed it to Jazzy What-a-Crockett, who promptly showed off her blazing lack of IQ by sharing a list of people who took money from Epstein. The problem was, there are a lot of people named Epstein---in FL, more than a few Jewish doctors. She had the wrong Epstein, the evil chlamydia dripper. 2) The latest moron to set the stage for more Trump Presidential libraries in all states is Rosie O'Donnell, who called Trump an "adjudicated rapist," which simply a lie and puts her in position for a major defamation suit. 3) Larry Summers, former head of Harvard, has had to resign from the OpenAI board after his name appeared in the Epstein files and Harvard began an investigation. 4) The DOJ is investigating some of its own, notably individuals associated with Ed Martin in the Letitia James case, concerned with sharing DOJ info with outsiders. This is, among other things, a possible "out" for James and others. On the other hand, the release of info from DOJ shows that the grand jury indictment of James Scrotumtoter Comey was done by the book, contrary to squawks from DemoKKKrat lawyers. Former SecState Mike Pompeo may be next. He gave Schiffty the Human Lemur free access to a small SCIF room at Langley to help overthrow President Trump in 2020. 5) Oh? The cash-strapped DNC had to take out a huge loan just to pay the bills. I say, de-bank the party of terrorism. Course, they can still get illegal contributions, til they are caught, like this rapper, who was sentenced to 14 years in prison for illegal contributions to the Zero campaign. 6) Hoax News is desperate for a MAGA crackup, as seen in Axios here; National Memo here; UK Telegraph here; and New York Slimes here. Yet when people actually DO something other than talk to a pollster, the register Republican. In NC, Rs net gained over 7,900 just last month to take the registration lead there. In Active voter registrations in NC, Rs have a lead of 107,600. NC will be the new FL; GA will be the new NC; and VA will become the new GA. Also in NC, a judge upheld the redrawn 2023 map from the GOP Congress. 7) The State Department not only refused to pay for a bunch of gonad-gripping DemoKKKrats to go to a commie conference, but wouldn't even credential them as US employees. 8) This will tweak the conspiracy theorists and Candace Owens, especially, as Kash Patel says he's seen all the evidence and Thomas Crooks acted alone. He said whatever hasn't been released by the FBI "is not what you think," and implied that any unreleased documents bear no relation to actual evidence on any of these conspiracy issues. 9) Security footage showed the J6 (Patriot Day) pipe bomber made a stop at Congress before continuing on, probably getting marching orders from Botoxic. 10) Really good news, as the first five fascist antifa members charged under the new terrorist organization law have been convicted and reached plea deals. IN ILLEGAL CRIMINAL ALIEN NEWS 11) We win almost all of these, but it takes a minute. Now an appeals court struck down a judge's order limiting ICE agents in Benghazi-by-the-Lake (Chicago). Only ICE has already pulled out and is now hitting Charlotte. But in a last aloha, ICE arrested over 30 members of Tren de Aurgala in Benghazi-by-the-Lake. And business owners in MI have been charged with hiring 270 illegal criminal aliens. Good. The owners need to pay, too. 12) Tom Homan says DHS has located 30,000 previously missing illegal criminal alien children. May they all quickly be returned to their loving parents and homelands. 13) Somalis in MN sent back $1.7 billion to Somalia in 2023---more than the whole Somali gubment budget. 14) Texas busted 31 illegal criminal alien invaders driving with Kollyfornia licenses. Oklahoma, also on the ball, stopped 110 semis in about ten hours, all driven by illegals. IN TRANSOID NEWS 15) A new HHS report calling child mutilation "malpractice" will go a long way toward ending this scourge. IN ECONOMIC NEWS 16) GE appliances has just announced more than $150 million in new supplier contracts across ten states. These are jobs coming back from Chy-na. 17) Trump revealed new offshore drilling plans for FL and CA. 18) Cracker Barrel's CEO who spearheaded the failed redesign said she felt like she was fired by America. Well, in a sense, she was. 19) Right now, Nvidia is going through the roof, both in terms of production stats and stock price. Its CEO said the "world would have fallen apart" if Nvidia did not meet its targets. 20) Wal-Mart shifts its listing to NASDAQ as...
