Greetings from Provence, where my doctors are still trying to "stabilise" me. You'll be glad to hear that I remain profoundly unstable - possibly because, whenever I briefly emerge from the haze of medication, I find my in-box full of urgent requests to know what I make of what Mark Levin said about what Candace Owens said about what Ben Shapiro said about what Megyn Kelly said about what Josh Hammer said about what Tucker Carlson said to Nick Fuentes. I haven't appeared on American TV or radio in over four years and, aside from random three-in-the-morning PBS reruns of BBC music specials I made forty years ago,

Normally I wouldn’t do anything so facile as to blame inflation on a particular politician, but given that the Democrats are pinning their hopes on hanging the “affordability crisis” around President Trump’s neck, a little historical perspective is in order. Thus, from the Unleash Prosperity Hotline:
We went back to January 2020 when the pandemic started. We found that 13.5% of cumulative inflation (prices are 24% higher today) has happened under Trump, while 86.5 percent of cumulative inflation happened under Biden.
So the “affordability crisis” is the hangover effect of Bidenomics when the White House dumped some $4 trillion of helicopter money out the windows.
This chart shows it nicely:
I’m a gamer. An old-school tabletop role-play gamer. There, I said it.
I started playing Dungeons & Dragons when I was thirteen, right around the time Mazes and Monsters hit theaters and scared the living daylights out of every suburban parent in America. That was the era when people honestly thought dice and graph paper could summon demons. I lived through the “D&D is satanic” panic — the tracts, the sermons, the moral hysteria. My own father once threw my little brother’s entire hardcover Second Edition collection into the foundation of a house he was pouring, including the first-print Monster Manual.

One of the college basketball players banned by the NCAA for participating in sports-betting operations has acknowledged his role in a gambling scheme.
Former University of New Orleans guard Dae Dae Hunter said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” that he participated in point-shaving.
“I did go out there and not do my best: basically shooting the ball and not actually trying to make it,” Hunter said on the show, which aired Monday. “I just had a child. The school wasn’t paying me, so I was trying to get money to actually take care of my child.”
Hunter and two New Orleans teammates are among six players whose eligibility was revoked by the NCAA

Mess When Grilled on Dem Lawmaker’s
Jeffrey Epstein Texts 9 replies
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) struggled to offer a coherent response when a reporter questioned him on why Democrats should be trusted on the Jeffrey Epstein story when a member of his own party was caught texting with the disgraced sex predator during a congressional hearing in 2019.
For a brief background on that, RedState reporter Nick Arama covered the story of Democrat Del. Stacey Plaskett, who the Washington Post revealed was texting Epstein in real-time during the hearing and steering her questioning of an anti-Trump witness at his behest. (X) To nobody's surprise, few in the media are talking about Plaskett's interactions with Epstein, which, in a sane world,
While there was still some fallout from the shutdown debacle, the press dutifully followed the lead of the Democrats to distract from that failure. And distract did they ever! The release of selective emails from the Jeffrey Epstein estate by the Democrats on the subcommittee had the press in overdrive, insisting that there was proof to bring down the president.
The keyword there is “insist,” as all the examples trotted out and highlighted were sorely lacking in accuracy or actual proof. But do not be swayed by the lack of evidence; take their word for it, this will cause Trump’s demise!
Man, it seems like democratic socialism – Marxism – is rearing its extremist head everywhere you turn. DSA member Zohran Mamdani won the mayor’s race in New York, his comrade Katie Wilson took the top job in Seattle, and as I reported earlier Monday, community organizer Rae Huang has decided to run against Democrat LA Mayor Karen Bass.
But wait, there’s more!
Now listless House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) is facing a primary challenge of his own, and yup, and it’s from another socialist:
New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a democratic socialist, filed paperwork on Monday to challenge House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries

If you live in one of the states or municipalities that held elections in 2025 – or, really, if you've been paying attention for the last 10 years – you already know that Democrats still don't have any electoral messaging that doesn't revolve around Donald Trump. He seems to consume their every waking thought and certainly is invoked in much of their campaign rhetoric; in a party devoid of ideas and overtaken by socialists and other far-left radicals, simply being anti-Trump is their best pitch to the American people.

It costs £174.50 a year to obtain a BBC license for a color TV. Technological atavists who are bargain-hunting can snag a license for a black and white TV for only £58.50 per year. For the year ending March 2025, the license fee raised £3.8 billion, 65 percent of the Beeb’s total income.
There is growing resentment about the fee. “Some people ask,” said one news report, “why they should be forced to pay for the BBC if they do not use its services.” Good question. However, it now appears that the BBC may need to significantly increase its fees to avoid insolvency.

Many stakeholders in the resolution of the Israel-Gaza War insist that a tenuous but legitimate agreement is in place to resolve this war. The exception to this understanding is…Hamas.
Recently, an official for Hamas, Osama Hamdan, made clear in no uncertain terms, that Hamas will “negotiate” Phase 2 of the agreement. But their definition of negotiating is “stalling for time.”
In a podcast interview on November 10, Hamdan emphasized that only the first phase of the plan had been accepted, not Phase 2. Hamas has still not complied with Phase 1, which raises a number of questions:

The political assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to impact America. Charlie’s conservative nonprofit organization, Turning Point USA, has seen a surge in membership. There are reports across the country of increased church attendance, as lapsed congregants contemplate the sacrifice Charlie made to spread a Christian message. Conservative and Christian Americans are expressing themselves more boldly on social media platforms and college campuses.
An equally important, though darkly troubling, consequence of his murder has been the deluge of mockery and hatred from leftists celebrating Charlie’s death. Antifa-aligned groups show up on college campuses to attack Turning Point staff and prevent students from hearing Charlie’s arguments.
COP30, the UN climate conference, is underway in Belem, Brazil. Thousands of representatives from all over the world have journeyed to discuss how to cut carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to try to fight human-caused climate change. But ten years after the Paris Climate Agreement, the global consensus on climate change is crumbling.
COP30 is the thirtieth “conference of the parties.” The first took place in Berlin in 1995. At COP21 in Paris in 2015, more than 190 countries signed the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to cut emissions and to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
About 50,000 people are attending COP30 from more than 190 nations.

President Donald Trump is no longer fighting the release of the Epstein files. But that doesn’t mean he’s happy about it.
Trump threw his support behind a congressional effort to release all the files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after it became clear that he could not halt its momentum and that he risked suffering an embarrassing blow on the House floor, people familiar with the matter told CNN.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) plans to increase shipping prices in January as it attempts to stabilize its finances while adapting to a rapidly changing postal delivery market. The proposed changes—which were recently approved by the service's governors—follow the release of its fiscal year 2025 financial results, which showed losses of $9 billion, despite a fairly modest revenue growth. The proposed changes will increase rates by 6.6 percent for Priority Mail, 5.1 percent for Priority Mail Express, 7.8 percent for USPS Ground Advantage, and 6 percent for Parcel Select.
The Justice Department’s prosecution of former FBI Director James Comey is facing death by a thousand procedural errors.
Federal judges overseeing the criminal case have increasingly raised concerns about the department’s efforts to investigate and indict the adversary of President Trump, from the evidence presented to grand jurors to the prosecutor who made the government’s case. Any one of the issues could do away with Comey’s charges before he’s ever put on trial.
“This is what happens when you try to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear,” said Barbara McQuade, a former U.S. attorney.

Influential billionaire GOP donor John Catsimatidis — a fierce critic of socialist Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — now says he wants New York conservatives to work with the incoming administration to ensure the Big Apple’s success.
The grocery store magnate hosted a round-table style panel at his WABC radio studio on Monday with right-leaning bigwigs like former NYPD Chief of Department John Chell and one-time Republican mayoral candidate Fernando Mateo.

Michelle Obama said this week that America is “not ready for a woman president,” adding that “we saw that in the last election.” Cute. Predictable. And only barely half right. The former First Lady wants you to believe that America rejected the idea of a woman leading the free world because we’re too primitive, too sexist, too stuck in the Stone Age to recognize brilliance when it smiles into a camera.
Wrong.
We rejected Kamala Harris — because she is, without exaggeration, the emptiest pantsuit ever shuffled onto a debate stage. She didn’t lose because she’s a woman. She lost because she’s incompetent, inauthentic, unprepared, and catastrophically unlikable.

President Trump’s dramatic drop in support from Latinos stunned CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten, who shared polls Monday showing the commander in chief, once popular with the demographic group, is now severely underwater.
Trump’s huge gains with Latinos helped propel him to victory over former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, but his support among the voting bloc is eroding fast, Enten demonstrated, blaming the president’s immigration policies.
“He is 38 points underwater!” Enten said, showing a poll on how Latinos currently view Trump on the issue of immigration.

America’s crime map is not random. And it is not evenly distributed. It forms a pattern, a persistent outline that says more about the country than any campaign speech or census brochure ever could. When you trace the safest states in America, you trace a corridor of calm: New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont’s shadow, Idaho’s long sweep of farms and foothills. Places where the pace is steady and the population overwhelmingly white. When you trace the most dangerous states, the pattern changes just as sharply — a concentration of chaos in states marked by sprawling cities, fractured communities, and the kind of “diverse” demographic makeup polite society insists you never mention.

The resolution passed the council 13-0-2, endorsing the president’s plan, which Hamas agreed to on October 8 and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan officially endorsed in a signing with Trump on October 13.

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’
14 replies
For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned. Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet. Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus. Question whether man-made global warming was truly responsible for increased temperatures rather than natural, often centuries-long cycles of heating and cooling of the planet, and one was labeled a climate crank.
