 My son has narrated the last book I wrote. Please consider listening to it and encouraging others to do so too. (Click HERE) World & Nation Migrants Racing to Cross US Border Before Trump Presidency  Human smugglers in Central and South America reportedly are encouraging migrants to cross the U.S.-Mexico border before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January. Soon after taking office, Trump is expected to take action to secure the southern border and limit the number of migrants entering the country. Among the anticipated moves by the second Trump administration is halting the use of a Biden administration app that allows people to apply for U.S. asylum while in Mexico and then cross legally when they have an appointment. Israel Destroyed Iran Nuclear Facility  Israel destroyed a top secret nuclear weapons research facility during its missile attack on Iran last month, it was reported Friday. The Taleghan 2 facility in the Parchin military complex, located roughly 20 miles southeast of Tehran, previously had been reported to be inactive. Instead, Israel's missiles significantly damaged Iran's effort during the past year to resume nuclear weapons research, multiple officials told Axios. Putin army in disarray after disastrous attempt to storm Kursk river ends in wipe out  Ukrainian forces wiped put a Russian assault group trying to cross a river in Kursk in a brutal attack. Vladimir Putin's army, which has been humiliated again, has mustered around 50,000 troops in the Russian border region as his generals desperately try to drive out Ukrainian forces from the territory. Around 12,000 North Korean soldiers are believed to have been deployed to Kursk to help boost Russian troop numbers. ‘All the options’ are on the table to get Trump’s Cabinet picks through confirmation, Sen. John Thune says  Incoming Senate Majority Leader John Thune said “all the options” are on the table to get President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks through the confirmation process amid concern that some appointees won’t receive enough votes to be confirmed. Trump in recent days announced his choices for key government positions, from Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence to Matt Gaetz as attorney general and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary. Thune (R-SD) told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier on Thursday on “Special Report” that Senate Republicans are going to work with Trump to “see that he gets his team installed as quickly as possible so he can implement his agenda.” Thousands of ICE officers to be reassigned from desk jobs as Trump vows to ‘flood’ sanctuary cities with agents  US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers who spent the last four years stuck behind a desk processing illegal migrants under the Biden-Harris administration are preparing to get back out into the field — as President-elect Donald Trump and his “border czar” Tom Homan vowed to “flood” sanctuary cities with agents. The move would mean thousands of desk-bound ICE officers will soon be out making arrests of the millions of illegal immigrants who snuck across the besieged southern border and are now roaming American streets. The federal agency has a total workforce of about 21,000 employees, which includes non-law enforcement personnel who handle administration work, according to a Department of Homeland Security budget overview. North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine sent menacing 'gulag' warning as WW3 fears spike  North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia in Ukraine may never see home again and instead face a grim fate, experts have warned. Allegedly around 10,000 North Korea's servicemen are currently involved in the conflict as per US intelligence reports and their numbers could rise if this initial engagement is deemed successful by Kim Jong Un. However, dreams of a hero's welcome could be shattered for these soldiers upon their return. Russia expert and author Keir Giles provided insight to Mirror.com on their likely future: "There's a good reason why Russia has kept North Korean troops on its territory for now. "They've had enough trouble with their own Russian soldiers going into Ukraine and realizing how much better life is just living it outside Russia. The individuals in North Korea are unlikely ever to be allowed to return home now they have experienced what life is like outside North Korea, even if it is in regions of Russia itself. Insane moment British troops blow up highway bridge in warning to Putin British and Estonian forces have made a bold statement just 120 miles from Russia's border by demolishing a highway bridge in a display of military might aimed at deterring Vladimir Putin. The controlled demolition of the Kanama viaduct, part of the Tallinn-Parnu-Ikla motorway, occurred at 1am, with Estonian troops taking the lead and British engineers participating as part of NATO's defensive posture. Originally constructed during the Soviet era and slated for replacement, the bridge's destruction served a dual purpose: to practice wartime demolition techniques and to send an unmistakable message to Russia. Sylvester Stallone labels Trump the ‘second George Washington’ during speech at star-studded Mar-a-Lago event: ‘I’m in awe’  Sylvester Stallone labeled President-elect Donald Trump the “second George Washington” as the actor invoked his “Rocky” movie series during the star-studded America First Policy Conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday night. The 78-year-old Stallone described the opening scene of the first film where the camera pans down from a mural of Jesus inside an old church converted into a boxing gym as Rocky Balboa gets punched by his opponent, with the word “Resurrection AC Club” shown in the background. “At that moment, he was a chosen person and that’s how I began the journey,” Stallone told the crowd in West Palm Beach, Florida. “Something’s gonna happen, this man is gonna go through a metamorphosis and change lives.” Trump Admin Will Bring 'New Thinking' to Hostage Deal, Says Father of Murdered Captive Relatives of hostages, whom Hamas holds in Gaza, came out of a Wednesday afternoon Oval Office meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden hopeful about future progress amid the lame duck period and transition of White House administrations. JNS asked the family members if Biden had committed to do anything differently in the final two months of his tenure to secure a deal that would release the hostages. "The fact that there is a new administration that will put new thoughts on the table, new thinking, and I think that – by itself — is a welcome progress," Ruby Chen, the father of the Israeli-American hostage Itay Chen, whose body is being held in Gaza, told JNS. "We have been in a stalemate for a couple of months on the hostage deal."
Will Trump’s win finally break the fever the Democrats have been living in? Celeb-spotters at the nation’s airports have been disappointed this past week. A whole cast of celebrities swore that they would leave the country if former President Donald Trump won this month’s election. And yet — to date — the great celebrity exodus is nowhere to be seen. People have stood in vain waiting to see if Whoopi Goldberg would make good on her promise and get on a plane after Trump’s victory. Ahead of this election — just like in 2016 — Cher said she would leave America if Trump got back into the Oval Office. But this time Cher really meant it. Scott Bessent reportedly top candidate for Treasury secretary during Trump admin For months, economic commentators parroted the Harris campaign’s misleading talking point that tariffs are a "sales tax." Like much of economists’ conventional wisdom, this view is fundamentally incorrect. The reflexive opposition to tariffs represents political ideology and advocacy, not considered economic thought. The truth is that tariffs have a long and storied history as both a revenue-raising tool and a way of protecting strategically important industries in the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has added a third leg to the stool: Tariffs as a negotiating tool with our trading partners. Prior to the 16th Amendment, which authorized the individual income tax, tariffs had been one of the federal government’s chief sources of funding. Our first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton, also happened to be America’s original proponent of tariffs. But after World War II, a consensus coalesced around multilateral tariff disarmament. The promise of this new free-trade consensus was that any economic dislocations caused by globalization would be offset by increased prosperity for all. In the U.S. especially, this conviction was accompanied by a faith that free trade would lead to political freedom in other countries such as Communist China. Neither of these predictions have proven to be correct. From the Archive.... TO KILL OR FEED A MOCKINGBIRD By Geoff Metcalf July 29, 2002 Two mutually exclusive and under reported stories have been troubling me. * The apparent penchant for political operatives to leak classified information that jeopardizes national security. * The generational control of information dissemination by powerful controllers. So we have another ‘Catch-22’. The complicity of the mainstream media to spin, cover, and obfuscate government abuse of power under the color of authority was not unique to the Clinton administration. It may have been more ubiquitous, and at times even clumsy, but it was not unique. It has been reported that in June 1991 David Rockefeller allegedly told a Bilderberg meeting in Baden Baden German, "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years." He went on to explain: "It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supernational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries." Some argue that quote is apocryphal urban legend. However, although I have never been able to find three corroborating independent sources for it, it IS consistent in content and tone with other Bilderberg quotes I HAVE been able to confirm. “If we had been subjected to the light of publicity….” Indicates the one world, globalist, wannabe controllers were/are successful in managing the message. Operation ‘Mockingbird’ was a program supposedly conceived by a brilliant Machiavellian State Department official, Frank Wisner. Wisner selected Philip Graham, then publisher of the Washington Post to manage the program. According to Deborah Davis, author of ‘Katharine the Great’, "By the early 1950s, Wisner 'owned' respected members of the New York Times, Newsweek, CBS and other communications vehicles, plus stringers, four to six hundred in all, according to a former CIA analyst." Over twenty five major newspapers and wire services became willing house organs for the CIA media manipulation. Investigators digging into MOCKINGBIRD have been flabbergasted to discover FOIA documents in which agents boast (in CIA office memos) of pride in having placed "important assets" inside every major news publication in the country. I know, this is the stuff of Ludlum novels conspiracy wackos, but not until 1982 did the ‘Company’ finally concede that reporters on the CIA payroll have been case officers to field agents. I have too often observed, “Some people don’t like to be confused with facts that contradict their preconceived opinions.” I have also noted (and struggle to maintain) “It is not WHO is right or wrong…but WHAT is right or wrong.” Anyone with almost ‘any’ military experience has no doubt seen the once ubiquitous posters cautioning “Loose Lips Sink Ships”. It is a left over phrase from WWII and among “lessons learned”. In the complex world of intelligence loose lips can and have cost lives. Once upon a time, not so long ago, Senator Patrick Leahy (currently the Senate Judiciary committee’s lead obstructionist) used to be the Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee in the mid 80s. Leahy allegedly ‘inadvertently’ exposed a top-secret intercept of Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak that led to the capture of the Achille Lauro terrorists. That supposed slip of the tongue “cost the life of at least one Egyptian operative.” http://www.newsmax.com/showinside.shtml?a=2001/1/31/85757 Loose Lip Leahy was forced to resign in disgrace 14 years ago in the wake of having to acknowledge he leaked secret intelligence to the press. However today he lords his power over the Senate Judiciary committee. Congress’ institutional memory must be as short as some of Jennifer Flowers former paramours. In our contemporary environment in which whistleblowers have become in many cases heroes it is important to make the distinctions between the appropriateness of corporate and political whistleblowers and the idiot or miscreant who leaks information with genuine national security implications. Currently the FBI is investigating national security leaks from specifically the House and Senate Select Intelligence committees. This is serious stuff. Defenders of the indefensible will argue it is a political witch-hunt by politicians in a heavy C.Y.A. mode. That is not true but a convenient political spin job. Sure it is true the white house is p.o.-ed over media reports that the National Security Agency had received but not acted on two early warning messages to 9/11. Dick Cheney reportedly went ballistic and ripped congressional leaders. Both House and Senate Select Intelligence committees asked the Attorney General to conduct an investigation (and no doubt quietly prayed it would be botched). Justice said in a statement, “…the appropriate department officials will expeditiously review this matter and take any appropriate action.” Not if congress has anything to say about it. Don’t expect anything fast. Remember Leahy resigned in disgrace 14 years ago and today has the chutzpah to pontificate ad nauseum to the Judiciary committee and stall any and all Bush judicial appointments.
