  1. Colombian President:

    Issue the order to all levels of the public security forces' intelligence to suspend the sending of communications and other dealings with U.S. security agencies. Such a measure will be maintained as long as the missile attack on boats in the Caribbean persists. The fight against drugs must be subordinated to the human rights of the Caribbean people.

  3. Russia is Collapsing - Diane Francis

    What follows is a 28-minute podcast I did on November 12 with The Times in Britain about Russia's economic meltdown, its war, and Ukraine’s strategy and political situation.

    The salient developments:

    Russia’s oil revenues are down 27% due to the effectiveness of sanctions and intense bombing by Ukraine of its refineries and other oil facilities. Petroleum exports finance the war. Ukraine has also embarked on an intense and successful aerial war targeting Russia’s electrical grid.

    Russia has had to dip into its National Welfare Fund to finance the conflict. In 2022, this “national piggy bank” totalled $100 billion and is down to $34 billion. Russia has also lost access to its $300 billion in foreign-exchange earnings, which were frozen after its 2022 invasion. Allies are close to agreeing to transfer these funds to Ukraine to help rebuild the country.

     

  4. Republican honchos in her district are backing her over Trump, and they have a lot of support.

     

    Statement from the Chairman of the 14th Congressional District Republican Party

    The 14th Congressional District Republican Party issues the following statement in full and unwavering support of our duly elected Representative, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene.

    Congresswoman Greene has consistently demonstrated steadfast commitment to the citizens of Northwest Georgia. She has served with honor, conviction, and uncompromising dedication to the principles that define both our district and our nation. As a woman of faith and a devoted mother, Congresswoman Greene has been a tireless advocate for the sanctity of life, the right to free speech, and the protections guaranteed under the Second Amendment.

    She has been a strong voice for free and fair elections, for strengthening American families, and for ensuring that American taxpayer dollars are used to advance American priorities, not foreign conflicts or international initiatives that offer no clear benefit to the people she represents.

    Her America First, America Only approach reflects the deeply held values of the citizens of the 14th District. Congresswoman Greene has consistently emphasized that federal resources must support American workers, American communities, and American infrastructure before being allocated abroad. This position, rooted in common sense and loyalty to her constituents, has earned her broad and enduring support throughout Northwest Georgia.

    Recent national criticism directed at Congresswoman Greene does not change the fundamental truth that she serves at the direction of the people of this district.

    While the President of the United States represents the nation as a whole, Congresswoman Greene represents the people of Northwest Georgia, and she has done so with clarity, resolve, and integrity. Her willingness to speak candidly on behalf of her constituents, even in the face of political pressure, underscores her courage and her fidelity to her oath.

    The 14th Congressional District Republican Party expresses its deep appreciation for Congresswoman Greene’s continued service and steadfast leadership.

    We remain confident in her ability to represent our district with honor and conviction.

    On behalf of the people of Northwest Georgia, we extend our prayers, our support, and our gratitude to Congresswoman Greene. We stand with her today, tomorrow, and for as long as she continues to serve this district and uphold its values.

    In Freedom, Jim Tully

    Purely anecdotal, but we know of several churches that have seen declines in their attendance that...while maybe not quite embracing Trump from the pulpit, were clearly favoring things that appeal to his followers.

    Meanwhile, I look at my wife's and at friends' churches (Presbyterian, Methodist) that are less into politcs and more into Jesus and they seem a lot fuller than they used to be, even packed.  Now it's possible they got a bunch of new converts who were not going before, but I have a feeling it's a lot of refugees from the more political churches.

    Ah.  I just knew she was a controlling bitch who helped cover up Ronnie's senility at the end of his second term.  

    Quote

    Kelley's biography explained that she would give blow jobs "not only in the evening, but in offices. That was one of the reasons that she was very popular on the MGM lot."

    So yeah.  Although in her defense, she might have been forced into it.  A lot.

    Trump’s plan is to issue tariff checks to voters just before mid terms next year.  It’s probably going to work.

    You’re thinking of the second or third tariff checks next year, he needs to get one out now.  And invade Venezuela.

    Anyone else at the Gruene Halloween show where his costume was Jerry Jeff Walker and he (JJW) told his life story and played JJW songs songs all night. No one knew he was going to that and some people were pissed and called out for TS songs. He would just say "HEY! I'M JERRY JEFF WALKER!"

    He did play one Todd sojg because it was one that JJW recorded. Maybe Alright Guy?

    That is the most Todd Snider thing I’ve heard in a long time.  Maybe ever.
