Helpful, useful, repeatable information to keep you ahead of the curve...
The democrats that continue to fight the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies are effectively fighting not only for lawlessness, higher crime rates, and higher costs for government assistance programs too – but for higher rent rates and overall housing inflation too. There are two sides to stories and one side to facts. These are the facts.

This year we've had only eight named storms and most notably, we've not yet had a hurricane develop in the Atlantic Basin. This year marks the first year since the onset of the in the satellite era in the 1960's, that we've entered October without a hurricane having developed. The combination of an El Nino which has become stronger throughout the season with high levels of Saharah dust, have set the stage for what could be at least one of the three most benign hurricane seasons since the onset of official record keeping began in 1851.
First of all, most people are mostly positive people...believe it or not. Medical research has shown that, without prompting, the average person will spend 52% of the time on positive thoughts, with 34% of the time spent on negative thoughts and 14% that are neutral/ambivalent. That's not necessarily great; naturally spending over a third of one's time focusing on negativity isn't the healthiest or best thing to be doing...but still, the average person is mostly positive if left to their own thoughts. But why then is there so much negativity in society? The reason is that the typical person is far more responsive to negativity than they are to positivity. Research has also shown that negativity carries 1.5 to 2 times the psychological impact of positivity typically.

We're now under five weeks away from Election Day with most states, including Florida, having sent out vote by mail ballots to voters – meaning that the election season has already turned into Election Day for millions of voters across the country.
But here we are in the 2020's and from England to Michigan the second-generation Islamists are well ahead of plan. We're culturally up against an ideological movement that seeks to use a combination of terrorism and population to bring about forced outcomes. Just like what we've seen with "no go zones" in London and Paris which are already governed by Sharia Law, to communities like Dearborn and Warren which are in the process of doing

Why wouldn't President Trump do the MOU to at least provide temporary relief that might help him and the GOP politically? As a reminder, oil prices came all of the way down to $68 per barrel during the MOU originally – essentially the price for oil before the war. It's not because he wants Republicans to get waxed, which if the election were today, is most likely what we'd see. It's because he believes there's an even better deal, and even better opportunity for the U.S. as the Axis cracks and their economies crumble.

All eyes were on the U.N. General Assembly meeting and President Trump's meeting with Xi Jing Ping last week. Expectations were measured, though hopes were high in the financial markets that having all the players in the two major wars which have had significantly negative impacts on energy markets, might lead to a turning point in the conflicts. In the end, nothing that hadn't been arranged prior to the meetings last week was achieved. As expected, the new U.S. military arrangement with Greenland was ratified and the Chinese trade standoff was paused until January. However, that doesn't mean there wasn't progress made during the week.
$107.4 million across all households in Palm Beach County equals just over $172 per year. That's how much money you've been paying in taxes each year to facilitate the education of illegal aliens. And this is also where this issue meets property taxes. Based upon where you live, approximately half of the property taxes you pay go to pay for the schools. The top two taxing authorities in almost all jurisdictions are school taxes to the state and school taxes to the school district. That's where most of the money to pay for the 'free' education has been coming from. And here's the thing. The irony is that Matt Lincoln & other GSS Newsers are advocating for children and for compassion. The irony is it's the antithesis. The compassionate position for illegal aliens isn't advocating to make it a bit more comfortable to break the law through light enforcement of it...and to have their children grow up without legitimate status. The compassionate thing is to encourage emigrating into the country legally. Every person, every family who has been in this country illegally has been offered an opportunity to be flown back to their legal home with $1,000 and the ability to begin the legal immigration process. That's what compassion is. ICE activity is what happens when you're here illegally, and you chose to refuse the compassionate offer to comply with the law. There are two sides to stories and one side to facts. You get those here. Apparently not so much with whatever Lincoln is thinkin'...

The better news is that if the Iran war and perhaps even Russia-Ukraine war come to an end – in the not-so-distant, we may well have a historically great economy without preconditions. It won't be soon enough to save the midterms for Republicans – however it would be enough to right the course for '28.

The Republican advantage over Democrats stood at a record of 1,551,271 voters entering this month – with Republicans adding nearly 10,000 more voters than Democrats statewide most recently. However, while Republicans have managed to outperform Democrats by way of voter registration in all but one month since the GOP became the state's top political party in November of 2021 – what we've seen most recently in Florida's remaining blue counties is telling a more nuanced story. In today's update on voter registration within key Florida counties that I track and update for you monthly –

It was a big of a mixed bag on Wall Street last week as the highly anticipated Federal Reserve policy decision on interest rates produced the expected, but also largely desired, result investors were looking for...while the conflict in the middle east continued to produce the undesired but largely expected results as well. The DOW posted its worst week since the early weeks in the Iran war in March, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were able to move a bit higher with greater clarity on rate policy in place.

Today is not Election Day (although there are now four states that have already mailed out vote-by-mail ballots – in addition to Florida having now mailed out military and overseas ballots), but if this is close to the result with these polls that we see on Election Day – this year will produce a blue wave – and the question at that point would only be – how big. One final fun/crazy to think about fact. The tallest wave ever recorded was... 492 feet tall! It was the megatsunami that struck Alaska in 1958.
