Food stamps running out on November 1; hunger, starvation, food riots? – “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?” – Jon Rappoport

What Do You Tell God When You Let His Children Starve? – “A Food Stamp Kid’s Reckoning. They voted for him twice. Believed the promises. Trusted that a businessman would understand what it means to work hard and still come up short. Now Sarah and Mike sit at their kitchen table in Pennsylvania, staring at an empty pantry and two hungry kids. Their three-year-old doesn’t understand why there’s no milk. Their six-year-old has stopped asking for snacks. The SNAP benefits that kept them afloat? Gone. Not because they did anything wrong. Not because they’re lazy. Because a billionaire playing government shutdown chicken decided their children make good bargaining chips. They thought they were voting for someone who’d fight for families like theirs. They were wrong. I know what Sarah and Mike’s kids are going through because I lived it thirty years ago. I grew up in a trailer. My parents were once dirt poor. ” – The Wise Wolf

Shutdown Poker: The Republicans Are Playing A Weak Hand Smarter Than The Democrats – “Winning Does Not Require A High Hand, Merely A Higher Hand” – Peter Nayland Kust

President Trump Needs to Turn Attention to Our Problems – “In light of the $38 trillion US national debt, why is Washington financing Israel’s wars and the war against Russia in Ukraine? The weaponization of the US dollar with sanctions and asset freezes and confiscations has resulted in a decline in the percentage of international transactions accounted for by US dollars. Similarly, the dollar’s use as foreign central bank reserves is declining. If the dollar loses its role as reserve currency, the interest rate needed to finance the massive US national debt would rise precipitously and absorb the entire revenues of the government. American power depends far more importantly on the dollar’s role as reserve currency than it does on the War Department budget or winning wars for Israel and Ukraine.” – Paul Craig Roberts

Socialism Inevitably Ends in Totalitarian Tyranny – “If you’v been watching the Zohran Mamdani circus closely, this article is worth a skim—if only to remind you what “collective ownership” really means when you stop repeating it like a feel-good mantra.” – Quoth the Raven

Mamdani meltdown (VIDEO) – “Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss the GOP and pro-Israel meltdown over Zohran Mamdani’s seemingly imminent victory in the NYC mayoral election, and cover the looming US military assault on Venezuela, the Trump-Israel “master plan” for Gaza and more.” – The Grayzone

Coming Soon: The People’s Republic of Manhattan – “(Seriously, New York. You okay?) …these days, the Big Apple’s “gritty charm” feels more like “a cry for help.” The rent is criminal, actual crime is off the charts, and the MTA routinely smells like a litterbox someone forgot to scoop (for six years). So when a guy like Zohran Mamdani—rabid socialist, rent-control crusader, and self-described enemy of capitalism—starts crushing in the polls to become New York City’s next mayor, it makes an odd sort of sense. It’s not like the rest of the mayoral field is inspiring confidence. Until yesterday—when Cuomo made a “dramatic leap” in one poll (and we all know how polls can go)—they were all trailing Mamdani by a margin big enough to park a Lincoln Navigator in.” – Jenna McCarthy

Food Lines Are Already Growing Longer All Over America – “It is already happening. There has been a lot of talk that there will be a surge in demand at America’s overwhelmed food banks once funding for the food stamp program ends in early November, but the truth is that we are already witnessing a surge in demand. So what is going to happen if the current government shutdown persists for an extended period of time?” – Michael Snyder

Warning: The Single Best Indicator of Future Inflation is Ripping Higher! – “The single best predictor of future inflation is SCREAMING that another inflationary storm is coming. The Fed focuses on two inflation measures: the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE). There are two MAJOR problems with this: Both measures of inflation have numerous gimmicks designed to UNDER-state the true rate of inflation. Both measures are ALSO terrible predictors of future inflation. What’s astonishing is that the Fed is aware of both of these facts. And in fact, the single best predictor of future inflation was food inflation.” – Graham Summers, MBA  – GREAT POINT BY GRAHAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why Exactly Is the Federal Reserve Cutting Rates? – “The Federal Reserve kicked off its October meeting today (Tuesday, Oct. 28). The central bank is expected to cut interest rates another quarter percent and could announce a timetable to end balance sheet reduction. But why? A lot of the people clamoring for looser monetary policy claim the economy is booming. That isn’t generally a signal for rate cuts. So, why ease when price inflation remains well above the Fed’s purported 2 percent target and is rising? In a sane world, the central bank would be holding rates higher to strangle inflation once and for all. It might even be hiking rates.” – Mike Maharrey
