Will ICE Man Polling Stations?

The [Deep State] is panicking. They are saying the quiet part out loud and they are suing the Trump administration to find out if ICE will be at the voting centers.

Trump’s strategy is not to bomb Iran into dust but to tactically disarm the regime to take control of their assets like Kharg and the Straight of Hormuz. Once this happen, Iran’s economy begins to tank.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has put everything in motion. Has Trump already signaled that mission is a success and that the people will demand the end to the war? Most likely yes. Here’s more from the X22 Report.

Keep Calm: Tariffs Remain On!

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected the tariffs that President Donald Trump had been imposing to try to balance out foreign trade, but not everyone thinks this spells doom for the U.S. economy. Here, And We Know explains how Trump has a secondary plan up his sleeve, ready to roll out now that the Justices have shown their hands.

Only three of the Justices approved the original Trump tariffs — Justice Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavenaugh. Those voting against him included the three Democratic appointees as well as Chief Justice John Roberts and the two other Republicans appointed by Trump in his first term — Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. How will Trump get around these opponents? Is there a way to bypass such an unresponsive Court?

And We Now lays out the options, and also covers: Negotiating from strength and the details of IEEPA law. This is so-called International Economic Emergencies Power Act, allowing the President to regulate international commerce during periods of a declared national emergency.

Harvard Probes Epstein Ties

Harvard University has reopened an investigation to ascertain the full scope of the relations between Harvard instructor Larry Summers and the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Summers is a former Treasury Secretary during the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Summers has already announced he will step back from making further public appearances and has withdrawn as a member of the board for Open AI.

As part of the probe, Harvard will look into other employees and teachers who had dealings with Epstein to determine what sanctions, if any, are warranted. Some politicians have called for Harvard to sever all ties with Summers, but it remains to be seen if the university will take that step. Here’s more from The New York Post.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Summers has announced he is leaving his teaching post at Harvard University. It’s not clear if the Harvard probe will continue for other employees.) 

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” shares a DM clip of Hakeem Jeffries’ pathetic attempts to defend Stacey Plaskett’s Jeffrey Epstein connection. Plaskett was serving on the House Intelligence Committee as delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands.

When will we see the Epstein documents? What will be withheld?

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says it will take the U.S. Justice Department about a month to get the files ready for release. Documents will be stripped of images showing child sexual abuse as well as information identifying the names of victims.

Also, there could be sensitive, classified information, especially involving foreign relations, redacted from the documents. Here’s more from NewsNation.

Rare Earth Deal Close At Hand

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says a rare earths deal with China could be finalized by Thanksgiving, expressing confidence that Beijing will honor its commitments following high-level talks between President Trump and President Xi.

Bessent also forecasts strong U.S. economic growth in early 2026 under Trump’s economic plan. He appears here with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News.

Borrowing Puts Us All At Risk

John Rubino, author of The Coming Collapse of the Dollar,  joins Greg Hunter on USAWatchdog.com to discuss the political wrangling surrounding moves to raise the federal government’s debt ceiling. Most of us have heard Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s dire warnings. We all know the Republicans and Democrats will most likely coalesce at the end and raise the debt.

But what other horrid pieces of legislation will be stuffed silently into the debt bill at the last minute? Why can’t these clowns ever seem to pass bills in a more open, logical and transparent manner? Why must the sausage be squeezed so violently?

And when will the government ever reduce its spending as opposed to driving us all to the brink? Catastrophic borrowing can only lead to calamity.
