Living life in anarchy – “It’s a goal, not a curse.” – John Hunt, MD

When the Pope Comes to Town – “Lockdown in Buenos Aires, popular political delusions and plenty more… We’re on lockdown, dear reader. Sort of… No, Buenos Aires is not “ground zero” for another National Institute of Health-funded lab leak. Nor is the country facing a popular revolt on account of a presidential corruption scandal. (That’s neighboring Paraguay. Never a dull day in South America!) Rather, el Papa is in town. The Big Cheese. The Keeper of the Keys. The Man in White. And it’s a big deal for the roughly 26 million Catholics here, for whom León XIV – born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, Il. – is literally Vicarius Christi, the Vicar of Christ on earth. It’s also the first time in nearly four decades that a sitting pontiff has visited the world’s southernmost Catholic country.” – Joel Bowman

The Further Revenge of the Barbarous Relic (No Apologies to J.M. Keynes) – “Ninety years ago, John Maynard Keynes dismissed gold as a “barbarous relic” and recommended the pursuit of paper money. Today, we see the inflationary fruit of the poisonous tree. It was the Morgans and Rockefellers of Wall Street who turned to government to cage their banking competition, especially the growing challenge from non-national banks in the South and West, and came up with a plan for a central bank. It was the big bankers who took the lead in creating a system that would protect them from the hazards of bank counterfeiting and make them a monopoly issuer of bank notes. After the Act became law, it was Morgan bankers who occupied the seats of power in the new system, particularly at the Fed’s New York branch where Benjamin Strong—president of J. P. Morgan’s Bankers Trust Company—ran the money machine from the Fed’s inception in 1914 to his death in 1928. The Fed became an indispensable instrument of profit and power.” – George Ford Smith

Ice Maiden Out, Pit Bull In: Stephen Miller Steps Up as Chief of Staff – “As the lame-duck session looms, Trump girds his loins for war.” – James Fite

We Just Got a Clue – “Anyone who maybe thought Trump would at least be a bit more reticent about his commitment to MIGA ought to stop thinking that. The elevation of the odious – the personally repellent – Stephen Miller to Chief of Staff is the kind of clue that detectives sometimes get when they find a dead body with a hatchet in its head. Miller is a psychotic MIGA fanatic; a known shill for Israel and so a known pusher of this war that just cost Trump his presidency and the GOP not just its control of Congress but its ability to control the Blues who are set to take it over come January. Miller is not just a rabid Israel Firster. He is also a driving force behind the nascent federal police force being normalized as “ICE.” People ought to clue in to the meaning behind these jackbooted acronyms” – Eric Peters

Trump Gives the Nation a Big FY Middle Finger on 60 Minutes- “Please consider Trump’s elevation of Stephen Miller a middle finger to millions of voters Donald Trump just gave the middle finger to millions of American voters. Any other president who suffered the kind of drubbing at the polls that Trump did this week might have felt at least a sliver of humility – and perhaps even an obligation to work with the new opposition in Congress. But not for the first time in his political career, Trump veered in the opposite direction.” – Mish

The Blue Amnesia? – “The 2026 Midterms Explained…. There’s a blue wave across America and I’m not (totally) surprised, considering the current situation in America. I am surprised by the collective AMNESIA that I’m witnessing, though. Many things are being left out of coverage, and many have forgotten the terrible circumstances under the Democrats that led to Trump’s initial victory.” – Karla Treadway

The Curse It Is Cast – “That 60-Minutes interview with the President Sunday night was a doozy: he allowed Ross Douthat (former New York Times columnist) to over-speak him so audaciously you had to wonder why Mr. Trump even bothered to show up. Actually, you were watching an act of political ju-jitsu: the president pretending to take it like a whipped dog, so that his antagonists would think he was offering himself up for slaughter. They’d better think again (but watch, they won’t). Also on Sunday, Roger Stone wrote that Stephen Miller, the new chief of staff, was just promoted to “wartime consigliere.” You are a little off, Roger. It’s more like wartime field marshal. The president has gone to war against the treasonous Democratic Party, the Party of Victims. Now they know. And now you know. The positions on both sides have hardened-up.” – James Howard Kunstler

90% of Voters Clocked ‘Corruption’ as ‘Crucial’ Concern — What Ever Happened to #DraintheSwamp? – “The decades-old phenomenon of mass-scale corruption, endemic to both parties and across every federal agency, only intensifies in scale and nakedness with time. Indeed, the nation’s hallowed capital, the Heart of Darkness — mythologized as a bustling hub of the frenetic workaday hum of a thousand Mr. Smiths in Washington serving up Democracy™ to their constituents good and hard — runs on corruption.” – Ben Bartee

Republicans got Trumped. So now what? – “The midterms exposed deep frustration with war, fuel costs and executive overreach – leaving the party’s post-election path uncertain” – Rachel Marsden

Jared Kushner’s Diplomacy for Hire – “Many observers of the highly dysfunctional President Donald J Trump administration have noted how a major contributing factor for the foreign policy disasters might well derive from the appointment of two real estate billionaires personally linked to the president as its top negotiators. That Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner had no diplomatic experience right from the beginning the presumption should have been a given that they would be managed and consistently out-maneuvered by their counterparts from other countries. That Kushner possessed unique access to Trump and might be inclined to give him bad advice in return for business “favors” also should have been reckoned by Congress and the national media.” – Philip Giraldi

Chuck Schumer: Sex Symbol? – “Media gushes over Senator’s supposed midterm masterstroke” – Ken Klippenstein

What the New $20 Million Bounty for Iran Intel May Be Telling Us – “On November 3rd, the country bitch-slapped Trump and the US Congress hard. The collective populist beatdown of the 119th Congress and the president felt good, but any shared optimism won’t last long. Trump is laying blame elsewhere, and yearns for the safe and untouchable spaces of his architectural visions. While he reverts to a boy playing with blocks in his room, Congress remains a reliable AIPAC (er…UDP) service provider. Congress will be comfortable only when it says yes Yes YES to the folks on top of the K shaped economy. No wars have ended, no federal reformation has occurred, no tax dollars have been accounted for, and no taxpayer or citizen justice for the various ongoing national Ponzi schemes and influence peddling pedophile scams has been found. Voters may have blamed the 119th Congress for this, but the 120th will do no better.” – Karen Kwiatkowski

Ex-MAHA Insider Tells Rogan What Trump Didn’t Know About His Own White House – “Former senior White House advisor Calley Means says he had full White House approval for a federal look at how much sugar American children eat – until Trump’s former Chief-of-Staff Susie Wiles killed it. “And that’s where Susie told me, we can’t do that. I need the sugar industry money. I need the money for the midterms,” Means told Joe Rogan in an episode published Friday. In fact, according to Means, Wiles was up to all sorts of bad stuff. ” – Tyler Durden

Moving A Household: What Each Culture Packed And What They Abandoned – “There is an exercise I think every prepper should try once. Stand in the middle of your house and imagine leaving it, not for a weekend but for good, with a hard limit on what can come along. Maybe everything has to fit in one vehicle, or a wagon, or onto your own back. The moment you accept that limit, the things around you divide into two groups that looked like one a minute earlier. There are things you own, and there are things you actually need.” – Alec Deacon
