The [DS] is now using everything they have to stop the Trump and his team. Judges are now dictating that the President doesn’t have the authority to remove someones security clearance.

That’s not a typo – 5 degrees Celsius of potential error. Only 19 pristine Class 1 sites remain capable of measuring actual ambient air temperature accurately. The rest? Located on airport runways, walled gardens, next to main roads, and inside solar farms. Places where concrete, engines, and infrastructure create artificial heat islands that have nothing to do with atmospheric temperature changes. The Met Office database also contains data from over 100 stations that don’t exist. They’re using “estimated” temperatures from unidentified neighboring stations and presenting it as real data. When journalist Ray Sanders started asking questions through Freedom of Information requests, the Met Office dismissed them as “vexatious” and “not in the public interest.” After media inquiries, the Met Office quietly removed estimated data from 3 non-existent stations. Of 17 new sites opened since April 2024, nearly 65% were immediately placed in the worst quality categories. UK Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance is calling scrutiny of this mess “misinformation” that weakens trust in science. Perhaps what actually weakens trust in science is using temperature readings from imaginary thermometers next to jet engines to justify trillion-pound Net Zero policies that reshape the entire economy. The data might be fine for tomorrow’s weather forecast. Using it to revolutionize Britain’s energy infrastructure? That requires stations that actually exist. https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/2003537920624677163?s=20 https://twitter.com/JeffPasquino/status/2003667251426197766?s=20   dollars” already – language and words are important – but this time the difference will be to the benefit of stablecoin holders. “But if it is pegged to the dollar, why will it matter?” you might wonder. That's a great question. The difference will be that today's bank accounts are in Federal Reserve “dollars”, which are debt-based, inflationary and losing value at a rapid pace. The new digital dollar stablecoins will be backed by gold or other assets (yet to be defined, but it's clearly how they're heading) and the purchasing power will go up. This is the first step out of the debt-based system enslaving most Americans – and by extension of the world reserve currency, most everyone in the Western world. People will eventually see that the asset-backed “digital dollar” is far superior to the Federal Reserve dollar. Once noticed, stablecoin dollars will be hoarded while Fed dollars will flood the market (Gresham's Law). No one will want the dying dollar -or any debt denominated in it – and much like the rise of gold and silver now against the Fed dollar, the digital dollar will also rise in value. Then everyone will transition, by choice, to an asset-backed currency without even knowing why they want those new dollars – they will just know that they hold value better. In other words, the “digital dollar” will actually be a store of value – evidence that it is actual money, not just a currency. Fix the money, fix the world.

For his long association with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is facing a long list of repercussions that seem to have no end. Now, the avid hunter has surrendered his firearms license to the Met Police – the same police force who dropped the investigation into his alleged crimes.

Imran Ahmed of the Center for Countering Digital Hate is also on the list. He had a very specific mission. Want to know what his organization’s annual priorities were? Internal documents show “Kill Musk’s Twitter” at the top of the list. Not “reduce hate speech” or “improve online safety.” Kill Twitter. Destroy the platform entirely because Elon wouldn’t play ball with their censorship demands. These groups operated by labeling anything they disagreed with as “misinformation” or “hate speech,” then lobbying governments to force platforms to remove it. Clare Melford’s Global Disinformation Index used U.S. taxpayer money to create scoring systems that effectively blacklisted conservative American news outlets, steering advertisers away from them to financially strangle speech they opposed. Breton personally sent threatening letters to Elon warning of consequences under EU law right before his live interview with Trump during the campaign. Now the banned activists are claiming this is an “authoritarian attack on free speech” and calling it “immoral, unlawful, and un-American.” These are the same people who built entire careers pressuring tech platforms to silence voices they found problematic. Suddenly they care deeply about censorship when it affects them. Free speech isn’t negotiable. It’s not something governments should regulate away because certain viewpoints make them uncomfortable, whether in Europe or America.

The Somalians have nice cars like BMWs and Mercedes @Brookerteejones “Here in Minnesota, a local realtor reached out to me to tell me about another way that Somalians are scamming Minnesotans out of their taxpayer dollars. In her community alone, Somalians have bought up over 455 homes. They buy these homes claiming they’re turning these homes into home health care centers. She says the way we know Somalians have bought these homes is because all of a sudden extremely nice cars start showing up. Mercedes, BMWs, the nicest cars are parked in the driveway. She said, by law, the state will not come out and inspect these homes and make sure these homes even have clients living in these homes. — Somalians have bought that home and they’re using that as a home health care center. She said these homes can even take people in who’ve just been released from jail and the neighborhood does not need to know about this. But she says, many of these homes do not even have clients in them. But the state is writing them checks every month for the clients that the Somalians say are in these homes. These Somalians are making millions of dollars off of these homes every year.” “The Somalians have figured out exactly the perfect plan as to how to scam Minnesota taxpayers out of their money. They are banking on this making millions of dollars and the government here in Minnesota is too lazy to go and check it out and to see if there’s even clients living in these homes.

Raskin posted a video on X on Monday, pitching ranked-choice voting as a cure-all for American politics. The video was released after he reintroduced H.R. 6589, a bill that would mandate ranked-choice voting in elections for the U.S. House and Senate nationwide. Under the system, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and ballots are “redistributed” to remaining candidates until someone crosses the 50 percent threshold. Raskin even praised races where candidates who finished second in the first round ultimately “catapulted ahead” after vote redistribution. In Alaska, where RCV flipped a Republican seat to Democrat Mary Peltola despite 60% of voters backing GOP candidates, the system exhausted ballots and ignored second choices for top vote-getters. In New York, socialist Zohran Mamdani led on election night with 43.5% of first-choice votes, but after several rounds of eliminations and redistributions, he was declared the winner with 56%, while Andrew Cuomo finished with 44%. A study of Maine elections found that, of 98 recent ranked choice elections, 60 percent of the victors did not win by a majority of the total votes cast. RCV opens doors to fraud and manipulation. The multi-round tabulation delays create gaps ripe for accusations of tampering, while exhausted ballots mean winners often lack true majority support. Sites like RCVScam.com expose how it lets initial also-rans steal victories, undermining “one person, one vote.” In 2025 alone, Idaho, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and South Carolina prohibited ranked-choice voting, joining 11 other states for a total of 17 bans. It is a scam, and Americans should push back hard. Source: thegatewaypundit.com  Supreme Court Rejects Trump Bid To Deploy National Guard In Chicago The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Trump’s emergency request to allow National Guard troops to be deployed in Chicago, dealing a setback to the admin’s attempts to curtail high crime rates in major cities. The 6-3 decision left in force a judge's ruling that has blocked the deployment since Oct. 9. “At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois,” the majority said. The government hadn't shown the president could legally “federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.”   Justice Samuel Alito dissented from the high court's ruling Tuesday, saying he had “serious doubts” about the majority's reasoning. “The Court fails to explain why the President's inherent constitutional authority to protect federal officers and property is not sufficient to justify the use of National Guard members in the relevant area for precisely that purpose,” Alito wrote, joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote a separate dissent, contending that the challengers to the National Guard deployment – the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago – had forfeited the argument about the meaning of “regular forces” by failing to present that issue in the lower courts.

The Supreme Court just admitted that Trump has the authority to invoke the Insurrection Act to bypass Posse Comitatus and send the troops to Chicago, and any other city he wants. Trump tried to exhaust every legal avenue possible before resulting to the Insurrection Act, but the Dems resisted and refused to cooperate. Sounds to me like Trump just got the green light.

Especially when the MSM are compromised and telling the public that Trump is literally Hitler and is going to unleash a military dictatorship. This had to be done delicately, as not to cause panic. The public must be psychologically prepared. That's why Trump has been giving us soft disclosure about the Insurrection Act for a long time. They have been mentally preparing us for what they knew had to be done, by showing us why it needed to be done. Here he is back in September addressing all his Generals, and reminded them how Washington and Lincoln used the military to keep the peace.

Ranked Choice Voting had a bit of a "moment" in 2022, helping send Democrat Mary Peltola to congress in Alaska, and clearing a first-ballot hurdle for statewide acceptance in Nevada. This year, proponents of the RCV process got proposals on the ballot in four states (Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, and the confirmation vote in NV), but ultimately found themselves on defense, losing all four, and also losing a Missouri ballot measure to ban the method from use in the state.  A measure to repeal RCV in Alaska failed by just 743 votes. Conversely, use of RCV continues to expand in cities and other localities. In Washington DC, a measure to introduce RCV passed with over 70% of the vote this year.Our guest today, Josh Rosa, is on the Steering Committee of Better Ballot Sacramento, an organization promoting adoption of Ranked Choice Voting in Sacramento.  Rosa is a lecturer at Sacramento State and has a long history in the capitol community, including a stint in the Schwarzenegger administration.

As Americans across the country suffer under the failed policies from Biden/Harris, 2 crucial Congressional races will play a pivotal role in the election. Rob Bresnahan is running in north east Pennsylvania, district 8. This district's votes generally determine the rest of the commonwealth and the 19 electoral votes that will be crucial in securing the White House. Rob shares insight into this critical battleground state as voters in his district are saying the same thing every American is saying. Cost of living is too high, crime in the community is on the rise, an unsecure border has devastated communities with fentanyl and illegal immigration. President Trump has visited the commonwealth over 5 times in the recent months and Rob has seen a huge switch from registered Democrats to Republicans. Running against an extreme progressive Matt Cartwright, Rob is ready to take district 8's Congressional seat and keep a Republican majority in Congress. Up in Alaska, Nick Begich ran a campaign that resonated with voters enough to have current Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom drop out of the race. With Alaska's convoluted rank choice voting this was the best way to ensure a Republican secures the Congressional seat. It was rank choice voting in the 2022 special election that allowed leftist Democrat Mary Peltola to get into office. Alaska's vote will be detrimental in the election should the race come to a 269-269 tie. Alaska is a red state that Donald Trump won by 10 points in 2020. Nick Begich is ready to represent Alaska to make the state and the country great again.

In a major political upset, Democrat Mary Peltola this week beat  Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin to be Alaska's next representative in the U.S. House.Who is Mary Peltola? How did she win? How did the Republican candidates lose? And what does Peltola's victory mean in the lead-up to the general election in November? On this episode, host Elizabeth Harball is joined by Anchorage Daily News reporter Iris Samuels to discuss all these questions and more about Alaska's unique, high-profile special election for Alaska's lone seat in the U.S. House. For more local and state news, subscribe to ADN today.This episode of ADN Politics is sponsored by SteamDot Coffee.

Democrat Mary Peltola defeated Sarah Palin in a closely watched special congressional election in Alaska. NBC News reports. The Washington Post explains how Biden’s student-loan forgiveness program will work, and how borrowers feel about it. Men have fewer friends than ever, and it’s harming their health. Vox illustrates the consequences. One of Hollywood's most prolific directors doesn't actually exist. Vice explains.

It's a shocker in Alaska as Democrat Mary Peltola won Alaska's special election on Wednesday, making her “the first Alaska Native in Congress,” the Anchorage Daily News' Iris Samuels reports. Peltola is also the first person elected via the state's new ranked-choice voting system.  “Peltola topped Republican former Gov. Sarah Palin after ballots were tallied and after votes for third-place GOP candidate Nick Begich III were redistributed to his supporters' second choices. Peltola, a Yup'ik former state lawmaker who calls Bethel home, is now slated to be the first woman to hold Alaska's lone U.S. House seat.” Peltola, Palin and Begich will face off again in November for a full term. While Washington chews on headlines about President Joe Biden's pre-midterm road blitz and former President Donald Trump's legal jeopardy, an American city of more than 150,000 people is struggling to deliver clean drinking water to its residents. There's no clear end in sight to the crisis in Jackson, Miss., which was sparked by record rainfall that flooded the Pearl River but is rooted in much more persistent issues of public disinvestment, political neglect and racial inequity. As with Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, as well as the water crisis in Flint, Mich., majority-Black communities are left bearing the brunt of the dysfunction — not just during a crisis, but for years before and after.

Trump's lawyers said they wanted the special master to decide questions of executive privilege, not just the limited question of attorney-client privilege. Some legal experts have said that executive privilege exists during a dispute between different branches of government, not the same one, as in this case. In Wednesday's response, Trump's attorneys downplayed the Justice Department's concerns about the classified material found at Mar-a-Lago, saying in the filing that there was no "cause for alarm." They added that the Justice Department "significantly mischaracterized" in their filing of a meeting in June between prosecutors and Trump's legal team. And, they added, that without a special master, prosecutors will "impugn, leak and publicize" details of its investigation. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lost to Democrat Mary Peltola in a special election to fill the state's vacant House seat, Alaska officials announced Wednesday, more than two weeks after polls closed—thwarting Palin's plans for a political comeback, at least for now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Waldman and Greg Dworkin review all that has transpired since we last heard them in August. Democrat Mary Peltola will be the first Alaska Native elected to Congress, benefiting from Alaska's newly adopted ranked-choice voting and Peltola's long held fishy opinions. Let's give Alaska a high 5! Sarah Palin, reacting to Peltola's win and her loss, replied “DERP?” Today, Sarah's word will be “RIGGED!”. Democrats don't need dopey candidates opposing them to win, but it helps. President Joe Biden is sailing out of FPOTUS' reach, and the Democratic Party follows him. Roevember is coming, and Democrats have the Roementum! The DOJ slapped Donald Trump around the last few days after Trump demanded a special master, and so of course he's going to do it again. Trump is ready to explain everything, officer. But first, hand him back what he stole, and he'll be on his way. The theft of top-secret documents and obstructing their investigation sure seems like very bad thing, and Republicans seem to be in disarray, but we're assured there is no cause for alarm, just a few bad apple lawyers Donald hardly even knew will need to be delt with. Some lawyers may not quite get that they need to take one for the team, however. They get those things in Russia. Vlad is skipping Gorby's funeral, because he's busy shutting off the lights on his version of a failed state. Perestroika is out, Defenestroika is in, with passé plutocrats plunging through the glasnost and stroika the sidewalk.

Trump responds to the DOJ's damning new court filing about the Mar-a-Lago search, admitting sensitive documents were found at Mar-a-Lago but arguing it's not a big deal, with one of the former president's attorneys calling espionage and obstruction “Mundane statutes”. CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen tells Don about the key legal points Trump's response fails to address.CNN Host Fareed Zakaria joins to discuss what America's allies could be thinking about their intelligence information being potentially compromised due to the Mar-a Lago situation, and the consequences for democracy if Trump is either charged, or not. Plus, Democrat Mary Peltola defeats former GOP Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for the Alaska House seat, Serena Williams advances to third round of U.S. open, and in Alabama, a black pastor is arrested for watering his neighbor's flowers while they were away on vacation.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Trump's lawyers said they wanted the special master to decide questions of executive privilege, not just the limited question of attorney-client privilege. Some legal experts have said that executive privilege exists during a dispute between different branches of government, not the same one, as in this case. In Wednesday's response, Trump's attorneys downplayed the Justice Department's concerns about the classified material found at Mar-a-Lago, saying in the filing that there was no "cause for alarm." They added that the Justice Department "significantly mischaracterized" in their filing of a meeting in June between prosecutors and Trump's legal team. And, they added, that without a special master, prosecutors will "impugn, leak and publicize" details of its investigation. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) lost to Democrat Mary Peltola in a special election to fill the state's vacant House seat, Alaska officials announced Wednesday, more than two weeks after polls closed—thwarting Palin's plans for a political comeback, at least for now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike & Trey open the episode with a look back at the political legacy of Mikhail Gorbachev, the last leader of the Soviet Union, who died this week. They believe that even though Gorbachev has long been out of power, his impact is felt to this day and there are important lessons we can take away from his failure to preserve the Soviet system.After that, they're joined by Ken Katkin for a discussion of President Biden's prime-time speech warning of the danger to democracy posed by MAGA Republicans. Ken and Mike end up being somewhat more critical of Biden's speech than Trey, who believes it was important for Biden to make a strong, public statement against forces that turned the current GOP into a party Trey finds difficult to support.Then it's a discussion of the search of Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and office. They get into what the unsealed affidavit revealed (not much, due to all the redactions), Trump's call for a special master to go through the seized materials, the potential dangers of a Trump prosecution, and how they envision events playing out.They close the episode by looking at the special election to fill Alaska's lone US House seat, where Democrat Mary Peltola came out on top of Republican Sarah Palin. Mike, Trey, and Ken consider what this election might tell us about the upcoming midterm elections, as well as their thoughts about rank choice voting more generally.The Politics Guys on Facebook | TwitterListener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
