A poll from Marist has some Republicans concerned, while others are hoping it’s an outlier poll. The poll shows the Democrats with a 14-point lead in the general ballot question for the 2026 election. 55 percent of those polled would choose a generic Democrat in their congressional race while 41 percent said they would vote for the Republican.

A new poll from Marist gauging voter sentiment ahead of next year’s midterm elections has some not-so-welcome news for Republicans: voters are not currently vibing with the GOP. In fact, according to the poll, Republicans lag a whopping 14 percent behind Democrats on the generic ballot, with 55 percent of voters saying they’d support the Democrat candidate if the congressional elections were held today.

All the standard disclaimers apply here – it’s just one poll, it could be an outlier, it’s too soon to tell, there’s plenty of time left to change things, polls are stupid – but the results shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand. There’s actually some good stuff in there that could help Republicans refine their messaging as the election cycle ramps up.

A report from the University of California, San Diego has set off alarms about how well prepared high school graduates are for college. According to the report, from the start of the pandemic in 2020 to the current year, the number of high school students with math knowledge below the 8th grade has exploded. In 2020 it was 1%, while today it has exploded to 12%.

This is not the first university to report these numbers. George Mason and Temple have reported similar trends. The problem is not many are interested in measuring such numbers, and DNC corporate media is not interested in covering it. So far, only Fox News has covered what could be a critical fail issue in our public schools.

On Thursday November 6th, the University of California, San Diego released a report that is undoubtedly worthy of the attention of any fair minded news organization. The problem is of course, we don’t have many who would fall under that category. The report shows that from 2020, the start of the pandemic, to this current year, the percentage of incoming freshmen at the University whose math skills are below middle school level, has increased to over 12%, up from less than 1 percent in 2020. Unfortunately, only one network  bothered to include this news in its’ prime time nightly newscast.

CBS, NBC, and ABC were all AWOL on their respective nighty newscasts, and did not mention this story from the day it was released, through and including Thursday of this week. Fox News’s Special Report with Bret Baier did cover it, this Thursday, complete with a package from Chief Correspondent Jonathan Hunt, as part of their continuing series on “Failing Our Children”, a perfect fit.

Verizon’s new “strategic reset” under newly appointed CEO Dan Schulman will involve layoffs for thousands of employees in the coming year. According to “insiders,” cuts could go as deep as 15,000, which would be 15 percent of its total workforce.

Verizon Layoffs: American Telecom Giant Is Likely To Fire Thousands of Employees; Here’s Why  Times Now
from news.google.com

America’s largest telecommunications provider is reportedly gearing up for a restructuring effort, with wide-ranging job cuts potentially set to be announced as early as next week. A Bloomberg report, citing individuals familiar with the ongoing discussions, indicates that Verizon Communications is weighing a plan that could remove between 10,000 and 15,000 roles across the organisation.
With the company counting just under 100,000 employees at the end of 2024, the move would represent one of the most sweeping workforce reductions in Verizon’s recent history, the report added.

A poll by Gallup shows in just 10 years the percentage of Americans who say religion is an important part of their daily life went from 66% in 2015 to 49% in 2025. Gallop said the 17-point drop “ranks among the largest Gallup has recorded in any country over any 10-year period since 2007.”

Recapping People Advance News from 11/01/2025 to 11/12/2025

A. TRENDING

  1. OLYMPICS TO FREE WOMEN FROM MEN IN SPORTS? – The International Olympic Committee will ALLEGEDLY not allow men presenting as women to compete with women in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. In addition to trans “women,” women with unusually high masculine features will also not be allowed to compete. The full confirmation of this change, however, has not been given.

The half-confirmed announcement came through an International Olympic Committee (IOC) statement, declaring the reason for the policy shift is because “An update was given by the IOC’s director of health, medicine and science to the IOC Members last week during the IOC commission meetings. The working group is continuing its discussions on this topic and no decisions have been taken yet.”

  1. REMINDER: WERE IT NOT FOR TRUMP, OUR TROOPS WOULD BE UNPAID DURING THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN – Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) reminded Americans on the “Alex Marlow” show that during the government shutdown that she put at the feet of Democrats, American troops would not be paid were it not for Donald Trump.

She said, “My daughter is an active-duty servicemember, her husband is also an active-duty servicemember. So, there’s a two-member family that would not be receiving pay if President Donald Trump hadn’t cobbled together the pennies to pay our servicemembers.”

  1. BBC RESIGNATIONS FOLLOW EXPOSURE OF DOCTORED TRUMP JANUARY 6 SPEECH – After the BBC was exposed for releasing a documentary one week before the 2024 election that showed a deceptively edited video of President Trump, its top leadership is now being forced to resign. The video was clearly edited to make it appear President Trump was calling for an insurrection on January 6.

Some of the top casualties, so far, include BBC Director General Tim Davie and News CEO Deborah Turness. While the UK left is doubling down on its defense of the indefensible, calls from rank-and-file British to ban the television license in light of their bias being clearly exposed have only increased.

  1. AMERICANS WANT BIDEN AUTOPEN ARRESTS – A new Rasmussen Reports poll shows 52% of Americans want former Biden aids connected to the autopen scandal prosecuted. 32% said they disagreed, while 17% said they weren’t sure. Another Rasmussen Reports poll shows 55% of U.S. voters “consider it likely that, when Biden was president, members of his White House staff used the autopen to sign documents without Biden’s knowledge.”

B. U.S. POLITICS

  1. MORE MAGA CASUALTIES OF DNC LAWFARE PARDONED BY TRUMP – President Donald Trump continues to strategically pardon political targets of the Democratic party for what seems to be a slow-drip pardoning process. In this round, he pardoned dozens of people prosecuted by the DNC for daring to challenge the illegal mass mailer 2020 election (an illegality the courts have yet to even address, let alone rightly identify, though that might soon change).
  2. Among those pardoned include former NY Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House chief of Staff Mark Meadows, as well as lawyers Sidney Powell and John Eastman. Trump called the action “No MAGA left behind,” with his pardon attorney, Ed Martin, saying of the pardons, “President Trump is putting an end to the Biden regime’s communist tactics once and for all.”

3. GILL SERVES BOESBERG IMPEACHMENT ARTICLES – Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) has officially filed articles of impeachment against Progmerican Judge James Boesberg for the role he allegedly played in the Jack Smith run insurrectionist operation Arctic Frost.

The articles read, in part, “Ignoring his responsibility to wield the power of his office in a constitutional manner, Chief Judge Boasberg granted Special Counsel John L. Smith authorization to issue frivolous nondisclosure orders in furtherance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation project codenamed ARCTIC FROST.”

Gill told Fox News, “Judge Boasberg was an accomplice in the egregious Arctic Frost scandal where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel. I am proud to once again introduce articles of impeachment against Judge Boasberg to hold him accountable for his high crimes and misdemeanors.”

4. DNC’S INSURRECTIONIST LAWFARE MACHINE FACES MORE POTENTIAL INDICTMENTS – More top officials of the Democratic Party’s insurrectionist lawfare machine now face subpoenas from a Florida grand jury. The Grand Jury is investigating the DNC’s insurrectionist “Operation Arctic Frost,” which sought to use the DOJ to destroy political opposition to the soviet-styled party, the Democratic Party.

Included in the list are former CIA Director John Brennan and two former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. These three were key leaders in the Progmerican operation intended to overthrow the republic and replace it with the Soviet Progmerica.

5. TEXAS AG SUES COUNTY FUNDING ANTI-ICE TERROR OPERATIONS – Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is accusing the Harris County Commissioners Court of redirecting more than $1.3 million tax dollars into the hands of Antifa organizations committing acts of terror on ICE agents. Paxton wrote, “We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration. Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from.”

C. CULTURE

  1. U.S. COURT STRIKES DOWN SCHOOL RULE COMPELLING CHILDREN TO USE TRANS PRONOUNS ONLY – The U.S. 6th District Court has ruled an Ohio school district does not have a right to punish students for not using the “preferred” pronouns of students, including transgendered students. The majority wrote, “Our society continues to debate whether biological pronouns are appropriate or offensive — just as it continues to debate many other issues surrounding transgender rights.”
  2. TEXAS LAW BANNING DRAG SHOWS FOR KIDS UPHELD BY 5TH CIRCUIT – One of the main instigators of a Texas law that banned sex shows for kids, including drag shows, is celebrating the 5th circuit’s ruling upholding that same law. Sarah Gonzalez, Vice President of Texas Family Project, was one of the main drivers behind the creation and passage of the bill.

She said of the ruling, “As I said, it has been tied up in the courts for years and we have been waiting for this moment. It is upheld. In the state of Texas, you cannot dance provocatively and sexually in front of young children. Obviously, we worked very hard to expose these all-ages shows that were happening in the state of Texas. Those exposés, those videos, were instrumental in the fight to prevent this from happening. I worked directly with legislators to craft the language of this bill. So this is very, very personal for me.”

  1. BLACK LIVES MATTER ORG FACES MORE DOJ INVESTIGATIONS – The once-darling cause celeb of the DNC Hollywood elite, Black Lives Matter, is facing yet another Department of Justice investigation, this time involving millions of dollars of funds raised during the infamous 2020 protests that made the organization’s name.
  2. TRUMP’S NIXING OF NON-BINARY OPTION ON PASSPORTS APPROVED BY SCOTUS – In a vote of 6-3, the Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump has the constitutional authority to end the Biden-era non-binary option on passports. The ruling struck down lower court rulings halting the order.

DOJ Solicitor General John Sauer argued to the Supreme Court, “The President’s choice to revert to prior policy and rely on biological sex—a choice that bound the State Department—should be the last place for novel equal-protection claims or Administrative Procedure Act objections.”

  1. TRUMP MOVES TO SAVE SCOTT ADAMS’ LIFE – Conservative commentator and Dilbert cartoon creator Scott Adams made an urgent plea to President Trump to possibly save his life. Adams is fighting Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. He is hoping to get access to an experimental drug that could potentially save his life. From Kennedy Jr. to Donald Trump, Adams has received responses and assurances the approval process will be expedited in light of his critical health condition.
  2. YALE HANGS CLARENCE THOMAS PORTRAIT, AT LONG LAST – After years of delays, Yale University’s law school has finally gotten around to hang the portrait of one of its most illustrious alumni, Justice Clarence Thomas.

Conservative Buckley Institute Executive Director Lauren Noble echoed the sentiment of many conservatives, saying, “It is refreshing to see Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ portrait finally take its place alongside other prominent Yale alumni after 6 years of neglect. It is encouraging to see such an outstanding figure finally receive some recognition from his alma mater for all he has accomplished. Whoever made the decision to buck the orthodoxy at Yale Law School and at long last put the portrait up deserves credit for doing so.”

  1. WOKE YOUTH FLAGSHIP MAGAZINE “TEEN VOGUE” EFFECTIVELY DIES – Five years ago, the teen magazine that early on leaned into the toxic woke message had to stop printing. At the time, the woke defenders argued it didn’t go woke and broke, it’s just a victim of digital media overcoming print media. Now, Teen Vogue is effectively being folded into Vogue as a section of the publication it originally came from. Teen Vogue ACTUALLY got woke and went broke.
  2. MAJOR WOKE ACTRESS SURRENDERS THE CULTURE WAR – U.S. actress Jennifer Lawrence has long been one of the loudest pro-woke-supporting A-list celebrities in the culture war over the last 10 plus years. Now, Lawrence is prepared to surrender the culture war, recognizing that the woke brand is as toxic as the Nazi brand now.

The actress told the NY Times, “I don’t really know if I should [speak out against Trump now. During the first Trump administration, I felt like I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off… we’ve learned, election after election, celebrities do not make a difference whatsoever on who people vote for. So then what am I doing? I’m just sharing my opinion on something that’s going to add fuel to a fire that’s ripping the country apart.”

  1. LIVING METAL COULD REVOLUTIONIZE OUR SINGULARITY WORLD – As humanity moves closer to merging with machines, allegedly, researchers from Binghamton University. New York, claim to have developed a method to createliving metal.” The team was led by Professor Seokheun “Sean” Choi. They aim to create a composite that would be reactive to the environment, self-healing, and highly customizable.

The applications are numerous, and some might emerge as understanding of the “living metal” evolves. The medical field could see the earliest benefits as the material begins to be used for numerous life-saving applications.

  1. GROWING PLANTS FASTER, BETTER, AND WITH 10% THE WATER, MEET THE NEW HYDROPONICS – Lights can maximize plants for optimal growing. One of the surest ways for humanity to have sustainable flourishing is to be able to grow food, and even raw materials, indoors. Limitations on hydroponics, the prevailing method for indoor growing, has kept it from becoming a dominant source for food. Now, researchers at the University of Minnesota are developing a new type of hydroponics that will reduce water needs by 10% and optimize plants for maximal nutrition and minimal grow times.

Assistant Professor Nate Eylands describes the use of lights in this new hydroponics, “Quantum dots are little nanoparticles, and they absorb photons of light and change that photon into a different photon. Say you have blue light coming in, it might be red light coming out of it. So, what we’re doing is taking a liquid quantum dot and we’re spraying it on some of these plants. You can’t tell which ones of them have it. And then on the leaf surface, they are absorbing that photon, say a blue photon, and converting it to a red photon. And that might speed up the process of photosynthesis at different stages of the plant growth.”

  1. DOCTORS REMIND DOCTORS THEY ARE NOT ORGAN HARVESTERS, THEY ARE DOCTORS – The American College of Physicians felt compelled to take a stand in defense of the patient over the organ donor. The organization wrote a paper excoriating doctors to remember their primary interest should be first, foremost, and lastly, that of the patient.

The paper stated, “It is unethical, before the declaration of death, to use any treatments or interventions aimed at preserving organs or assessing their suitability for donation that may harm the still-living patient by causing pain, causing traumatic injury, or shortening the patient’s life.”

  1. DYE COATING COULD INCREASE SOLAR PANEL EFFICIENCY BY 50% OR MORE – A new dye coating developed by researchers at the University of New South Wales in New Zealand could increase silicon-based solar cell efficiency by 20% to over 30%. It can also increase longevity. This means homeowners will need less solar cells initially, and even lesser over the long haul.

The European Union (EU) will ban all cash purchases over $10,000 beginning in January 2027. This draconian change was not made through legislation that was debated and voted on, it was created through regulation. Unelected EU bureaucrats simply chose to make the change, claiming it is purely to target criminals.

In addition to that, new laws already passed will soon require anyone using or holding cryptocurrency to do so through a digital ID system, assuring no anonymity in the transaction of value between humans. By 2029, the EU plans on rolling out their digital currency, which they intend on replacing physical currency. Digital currency turbo-charge governments’ ability to control transactions, create instant “magic value,” and micromanage the currency markets.

Mexico’s far left anti-Americanist President, Claudia Sheinbaum, continues to invite direct war with the U.S. The cartel-controlled President is now accusing the U.S. of being fascist for daring to go to war with the drug cartels wreaking havoc on American soil. Sheinbaum claimed, “Returning to the war against the narco is not an option — first, because it is outside the framework of the law.”

She went on to elaborate that going to war with cartels violates their due process rights even as cartels in her own country continue to openly murder elected government officials in what can only be described as an insurrectionist act of war. Her comments are sure to continue to push Americans towards supporting an eventual war with Mexico should Sheinbaum remain in power.

According to Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, “Returning to the war against the narco is not an option — first, because it is outside the framework of the law.” In the next breath, she proceeded to mock those on the right by claiming that going after the cartels is against the rule of law.

She claimed this would be “permission to kill without any trial.” In fact, she argued it would be moving toward authoritarianism—or “fascism,” if you will. It’s unclear exactly who she thinks she’s convincing with these lies, but she has made it clear who she intends to represent, and it certainly isn’t the law-abiding citizens of Mexico.

NH State Representative Stacie Laughton (D) has pled guilty to charges of sexual exploitation of children. The representative is the state’s first-ever transgendered elected official.

A former cell mate of pedophile kingpin Jeffrey Epstein is alleging that former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter offered Epstein a sweetheart deal if he could deliver Trump to her. The daughter, Maureen Comey, had her job in the DOJ until very recently.

Nicholas Tartaglione claimed, “Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Epstein’s crimes he would walk free. Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it.”

A former cellmate of disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said the multi-millionaire degenerate was given an offer to walk free if he could implicate Donald Trump in any crimes, a Wednesday report claimed.

What’s more, the prosecutor who the cellmate said gave Epstein the offer was the daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, Maurene Comey.

James Comey was fired by Trump in May 2017, after which the then-former FBI director became one of the chief proponents of the debunked Russiagate hoax.

Former police officer Nicholas Tartaglione, who shared a cell with Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan after Epstein’s arrest on child sex-trafficking charges in 2019, said Epstein told him about the purported deal during the month between his arrest and death, the New York Post reported.

Tartaglione was convicted of kidnapping and murdering four men because he believed they had stolen money intended for a cocaine deal. In 2024, he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms, according to a Department of Justice media release.

Numerous Democrats, including Representative Mike Quigley (D-IL) and Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) have been spreading a lie shared by DNC media like CNN that ICE arrested a daycare worker without a warrant. The narrative was that ICE showed up to a daycare to arrest a preschool teacher in front of her students.

ICE wrote in response to one Democrat, who was pushing the DNC media narrative: “Congressman, you are deliberately misrepresenting the facts,” the agency wrote. “ICE law enforcement did NOT target a daycare and were only at this location because the female illegal alien fled inside… (the woman and her male partner) ran into a daycare and attempted to barricade themselves inside the daycare — recklessly endangering the children inside. The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school. Upon arrest, she lied about her identity.”

In recent years, more than $2 billion has been sent to DNC-aligned far-left anti-Americanist groups, many with ties to Antifa affiliations, with no checks by regulators. A report from Americans for Public Trust (APT) has exposed the foreign money pipeline driving anti-American hate through DNC-affiliated groups.

APT Executive Director Caitlin Sutherland stated, “It is extremely alarming that five foreign charities have quietly poured almost two billion dollars into advocating for the most extreme liberal policies and protests in the United States. Since current laws regulating foreign giving to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations are hindered by a lack of oversight and exploitable exemptions and loopholes, foreign actors have been able to advance their radical and dangerous interests virtually unchecked. Congress needs to address these serious shortfalls in our laws to protect American interests and keep foreign influence out of our politics.”

Blurb:

Nearly half a dozen foreign charities have dumped more than a billion dollars into numerous U.S.-based leftist organizations and causes in recent years, according to a new investigative report.

Released on Friday, the new analysis by Americans for Public Trust (APT) shows how five overseas charities have collectively funneled almost $2 billion into left-wing groups, policy fights, and more “to advance their extreme, foreign, activist agenda” in America. These causes, according to the report, range from funding climate alarmist demonstrations and campaigns to environmental-related litigation.

U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino faced a court order by U.S. District Judge Sara L. Ellis that would require him to report to her daily. The ruling was quickly struck down by the 7th district appeals court, diverting a potential flashpoint between the Progmerican DNC judiciary and the American Trump Administration.

The ruling by the Progmerican Judge is seen by intelligence experts as being an intentional effort to sabotage the central management bandwidth of Border Patrol’s leader rather than any judgment that fits within the parameters of her constitutional powers, either in the ruling in principle or in the decision to assume jurisdiction she flat-out doesn’t have.

Every day a new “opportunity” arises for the Trump administration to have to decide between submitting to an openly unconstitutional, seditious ruling or taking an action that perhaps half the “country” (Progmerica) would find treasonous as well. Fortunately, the Appeals Court saved us again, for now, but when will the DOJ prosecute these clearly rogue, Progmerican judges?

A federal appeals court quickly overturned a controversial lower court ruling that would have required U.S. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino, who is leading the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, to report back to the court on a daily basis.

Bovino has been leading Operation Midway Blitz, the Trump Administration’s expanded immigration enforcement operations in the Chicago area that has resulted in nearly 3,000 apprehensions of illegal aliens. The operation has mostly targeted gang members and illegal aliens with serious criminal histories.

Federal agents have come under constant assault from far-left extremists in the area, particularly outside an ICE detention facility in the community of Broadview. Bovino personally helped to organize a defense of the facility after weeks of consistent rioting and violent assaults on agents, which has been met with a surge in federal resources and the deployment of less-than-lethal crowd control measures such as tear gas, rubber bullets and mass arrests of rioters.

The Israeli army launched a barrage of attacks in Gaza on Tuesday as tensions with Hamas grew two weeks into a fragile ceasefire, and the militant group responded by saying it would delay handing over the body of a hostage. At least seven Palestinians were killed, health officials said.

The flare-up of violence presented one of the biggest tests so far for the truce and had international mediators scrambling to prevent it from collapsing. U.S. Vice President JD Vance attempted to play down the fighting, saying he expected “skirmishes” to quickly die down.

The order from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to launch “powerful strikes” came after an Israeli official said its forces were fired upon in southern Gaza and after Hamas handed over body parts on Monday that Israel said were the partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war.

Netanyahu called the return of these body parts a “clear violation” of the ceasefire agreement, which requires Hamas to return the remaining hostages in Gaza as soon as possible. Israeli officials also accused Hamas of staging the discovery of these remains on Monday, sharing a 14-minute edited video captured by a military drone in Gaza.

The Department of Justice is recommending charges against NYC Mayoral candidate and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani. He faces allegations of receiving foreign, illegal donations.

His recent shaming of Americans for feeling angry about 9/11 when his aunt felt bad for being Muslim in America post-911 has hurt his campaign, but possibly not enough to stop the coalition forming to support him. That coalition appears to be among the professional classes seeking to keep the rabble out, the very poors hoping to get a free lunch, and the truly insurrectionist Marxists and Islamists who have LONG desired to overthrow our republic.

Zohran Mamdani has been criminally referred to the Department of Justice by the campaign finance watchdog group, the Coolidge Reagan Foundation (CRF). The foundation filed two criminal referrals against the socialist candidate on Tuesday for allegedly taking illegal donations from foreign donors.

According to Fox News, after a review of Mamdani’s campaign finances, it was discovered he took $13,000 from 170 donors outside the US.

“These are not isolated incidents or clerical errors,” campaign finance expert of the CRF, told Fox News Digital. “This was a sustained pattern of foreign money flowing into a New York City mayoral race which is a clear violation of both federal law and New York City campaign finance rules. Mamdani’s campaign was on notice for months that it was accepting illegal foreign contributions, and yet it did nothing meaningful to stop it.”

Xi had been escalating the trade war with the U.S. by attempting to use its rare earth monopoly to separate market allies from the U.S. Trump’s response of a 100% rise in tariffs raised the cost of China’s potential response significantly. After the fourth plenum, Xi is now ready to formalize a ceasefire with Trump at the APEC Summit. The seeming pullback from the brink is seen by some experts as a sign that Xi’s bellicose policy towards the U.S. has been checked by a weakness from within after the fourth plenum. It would seem the Generals may have been replaced BECAUSE of their loyalty to Xi, not their failure to protect him.

Blurb:

The Trump-Xi trade truce on rare earth stability represents a pivotal moment in rare earth diplomacy, but understanding its true significance requires examining China’s entrenched position across critical minerals supply chains. Beyond the headlines of temporary détente lies a complex web of processing dominance that extends far deeper than raw material extraction.

China’s market control spans multiple critical stages of rare earth production. The nation processes approximately 92% of global rare earth elements, while maintaining 87% of permanent magnet manufacturing capacity. This processing monopoly creates bottlenecks that no diplomatic agreement can immediately resolve, as Western manufacturers have discovered during recent supply chain disruptions.

The lithium sector reveals similar patterns of concentration. Chinese companies control 65% of global lithium processing capacity, with facilities in Chile, Australia, and domestic operations handling the majority of battery-grade lithium carbonate production. Furthermore, this innovative lithium extraction processing dominance means that even lithium extracted in Western nations often requires Chinese refining before reaching battery manufacturers.

Industry Reality: Processing infrastructure represents the true chokepoint in critical minerals supply chains, not raw material access.

Cobalt refining demonstrates another dimension of Chinese market control. The nation handles 72% of cobalt refining operations, processing material primarily sourced from Democratic Republic of Congo mines. Consequently, this global cobalt mining vertical integration strategy allows Chinese companies to control pricing and allocation across multiple battery metals simultaneously.

Market Dynamics Beyond Raw Materials

The rare earth sector’s complexity extends beyond simple mining statistics. China’s strategic advantage lies in its integrated supply chains that span from ore processing to finished magnet production. Neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) permanent magnets, essential for electric vehicles and wind turbines, require specialised metallurgical expertise that takes decades to develop.

Chinese processing facilities benefit from economies of scale that Western competitors struggle to match. The Baotou region alone processes over 100,000 tonnes of rare earth concentrates annually, more than the combined capacity of all non-Chinese facilities worldwide. This scale advantage translates into cost efficiencies of 30-40% compared to alternative suppliers.

Separation technology represents another critical barrier to market diversification. The chemical processes required to separate individual rare earth elements from mixed concentrates involve proprietary technologies developed over decades. China’s solvent extraction capabilities can achieve purities exceeding 99.99%, while many Western facilities struggle to reach 99.5% purity levels consistently.

UPS announced a total of 34,000 jobs have been cut so far this year in its effort to turn around the struggling company. Amazon also announced job cuts, this time specifically in its executive offices, with reports varying between 14,000-30,000 job cuts projected. It represents nearly a 10% cut in its overall executive workforce. One of the hardest hit departments will be its human resources department, which follows an overall corporate trend.

Blurb:

Amazon is planning to cut upwards of 30,000 corporate jobs beginning this week, Reuters reports.

The company is working to “pare expenses and compensate for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic,” the outlet stated.

Reuters shared more:

The figure represents a small percentage of Amazon’s 1.55 million total employees, but nearly 10% of the company’s roughly 350,000 corporate employees. This would represent the largest job cut at Amazon since around 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting in late 2022.

An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment.

Amazon has been trimming smaller numbers of jobs over the past two years across multiple divisions, including devices, communications, podcasting and others. The cuts beginning this week may impact a variety of divisions within Amazon, including human resources, known as People Experience and Technology, devices and services and operations, among others, the people said.

The Trump administration is managing a growing friction between Border Patrol and ICE over illegal alien deportation targeting, which it has settled by making it clear which side it’s own. ICE was pushing to continue to focus on deporting the worst offenders while Border Control has been pushing to expand the targeting to almost everyone. Apparently, Border Patrol has won.

They signaled their siding with Border Patrol with a wholesale overhaul of ICE in multiple offices nationwide. Many of these ICE officials might be replaced with Border Patrol officials. According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin reported “up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed… a handful of the ICE Chiefs will likely be replaced by Border Patrol & CBP officials, some of whom will be hand-picked by aggressive & controversial Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino.”

Blurb:

There was a massive overhaul across numerous offices at Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It was explained in a lengthy Twitter post by Fox News’ Bill Melugin. The Trump administration is no longer tolerating what some within the president’s inner orbit would consider lethargic progress toward mass deporting the hordes of criminal illegal aliens we have living among us. Sorry, if you’ve crossed into this country illegally and are caught, you’re going back. Period.

That’s the mindset, and the Trump team is looking for ICE officials who can accomplish that goal. And yes, reportedly, some people at the Department of Homeland Security are not pleased with this move. Scores of ICE officials were removed from their posts, with their replacements likely coming from the Border Patrol:

The Chinese Communist Party’s Fourth Plenum was held from October 20-23. The results of the plenum itself are unclear, though the fact that the results are unclear in and of itself should tell you the current head of the party, Xi Jinping, is losing (or has lost) control. Getting information about China’s internal political machinations is difficult as anti-China propagandists are prone to hype China’s real issues while China advocates don’t recognize they have them.

One “rumor” that has the most credibility is Xi losing some power, specifically losing his control of the Central Military Commission. One fact not disputed is 11 top officials were axed, with nine of them, all Generals, being called out for taking insubordinate action. The nine generals are all close Xi allies, with two being considered both his right- and left-hand man. Beyond that, MIA will continue to monitor the feeds for more data to support a clearer reality of the consequence of the contested fourth plenum.

Xi’s Grip on Power Falters Amid Military Shake-Up and Rising Successor Hu Chunhua  Vision Times
from news.google.com

As the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) convenes for its long-delayed Fourth Plenary Session, held from Oct. 20-23, speculation is mounting over a potential power shake-up inside Zhongnanhai — the Party’s political nerve center. Historically, such meetings have often signaled major realignments within the CCP’s top echelons.

Multiple unverified leaks circulating online suggest that Xi Jinping, long seen as China’s most dominant leader since Mao Zedong, may soon lose his position as Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) — the post that grants him command over the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Other reports claim Xi’s movements are now under strict control, while rival factions have allegedly prepared two separate plans for handling his political future.

Xi to step down as military chief

Following the downfall of CMC Vice Chairman He Weidong, who was recently expelled from the Party after an internal investigation, the seven-member CMC has been reduced to just four officials. The Politburo (the CCP’s top ruling body) has also quietly shrunk from 24 members to 23.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-MO) has sent a letter to a DNC-aligned NGO that serves as the latest red flags that the “American” left and the CCP are working together against the same enemy, us, the Americans. His letter was sent to the People’s Forum in regard to its funding from Neville Roy Singham, an American expat now living the good life as a CCP favorite in Shanghai.

Other organizations with ties to CCP operatives include Americans for Justice in Palestine Educational Foundation, American Muslims for Palestine, Islamic Relief USA, Alliance for Global Justice, WESPAC Foundation, Tides Foundation, Palestinian Youth Movement, and People’s Media Project.

Time for Congress to expose CCP and terrorist linked NGO’s

Chinese Communist Party-funded nonprofit organizations have long spread radical antics by exploiting the generosity of the American taxpayer. It is time they face the public as they are held accountable by Congress.

Congress must hold a public hearing on these nonprofit organizations.

Orlando police chose to arrest a Christian couple at a Gay Pride parade ostensibly for walking in the street (during a parade where everyone else was walking on the street), They held two signs, one sign said, “Hell is real, Only Jesus Saves”; the other sign said, “Repent or perish.” Orlando Police forcefully arrested Maurice Price, while his wife, Britanny, watched. They were both detained for six hours. They were let out just after the parade was over. All charges were dropped.

The Price’s evangelical video has gone viral. On it, Maurice said to one person of Christ, “He said I know what my people need. They need a Savior to save them from their sins. Because their heart has gotten so hard and their mind has gotten so reprobate that they have put me on the back burner. They have gone their own way. They have gone so far astray … that we openly promote pride, we openly promote lust, we openly promote sexual perversion.”

A Christian street preacher and his wife were jailed on Saturday after demonstrating against an LGBTQ Pride parade in Orlando, Florida.

Maurice Price was pinned to the ground and handcuffed by several policemen, video footage posted to his Facebook page and YouTube channel shows, after he walked the street of an LGBTQ parade holding up a sign that read “Hell is real. Only Jesus Saves.” His wife, Brittany, who joined him in the street while holding up a sign that said “Repent or perish,” was also arrested.

The back of Brittany’s sign read “Jesus is God,” “There are only 2 genders,” and “Jesus is the only way.

Support for the U.S. to recognize the Palestinian state has hit 59% according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. Only 33% were opposed to it, while 53% of Republicans were opposed to it.

Blurb:

Most Americans – including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans – think the U.S. should recognize Palestinian statehood, a sign that President Donald Trump’s opposition to doing so is out of step with public opinion, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The six-day poll, which closed on Monday, found 59% of respondents backed U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, while 33% were opposed and the rest were unsure or did not answer the question.

About half of Trump’s Republicans – 53% – opposed doing so, while 41% of Republicans said they would support the U.S. recognizing a Palestinian state.

A growing number of countries – including U.S. allies Britain, Canada, France and Australia – have formally recognized Palestinian statehood in recent weeks, drawing condemnation from Israel, whose founding in 1948 led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians and decades of conflict.

China is allegedly the first country in the world to launch a jet off an aircraft carrier using an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS). The country released a video of a J-34 stealth fighter being launched by an EMALS catapult off an aircraft carrier at sea. The name of the aircraft carrier was not mentioned in any reports, which all seem to come from the Chinese state media video itself, and the claims made on it.

Regardless of the full efficacy of the claim, China’s rapid development of aircraft carriers poses a security risk for the United States, though the era of the aircraft carrier itself is in question by some.

Blurb:

Key Points and Summary – China has achieved a significant naval aviation milestone, releasing video of its J-35 stealth fighter launching via an electromagnetic catapult (EMALS) from the new aircraft carrier Fujian.

-This marks the first time any nation has publicly demonstrated an EMALS launch of a stealth fighter from a carrier at sea.

A U.N. Nuclear Watchdog, Rafael Gross, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has claimed that the U.S. bombing run on Iran’s nuclear program failed to significantly deplete the nation’s stockpile of “near-weapons-grade” uranium.

The bombings still set Iran’s nuclear program back, as they are just now beginning to tunnel into the sites, which are still largely collapsed and destroyed. The Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security claimed that while the sites are still powered, “… the visible activity does not indicate a dash to remove possible centrifuge or enriched uranium stocks inside the tunnel complex; rather it points more towards preparing controlled and secure access to two of the three tunnel entrances, and hardening the entrances and utilities against future strikes,”

Blurb:

Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said on Saturday that his agency believes “the majority” of Iran’s stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium survived bombing runs from Israel and the United States in June.

Grossi said during an interview with a Swiss newspaper that the IAEA believes most of the uranium is still stored in Iran’s three primary nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Fordow, and Natanz. All three facilities were hit by devastating airstrikes from the United States in June.

The latest IAEA report estimated Iran has about 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity, which is far beyond any conceivable civilian use, but just shy of weapons-grade material. The IAEA has been asking Iran to account for the uranium ever since the June airstrikes, but the Iranians have not been very cooperative.

LA Mayor Karen Bass and Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) announced plans to create an app that will effectively help Antifa terrorists track ICE agents so they can more effectively attack them. Garcia claims the website will create a “master” ICE tracker in direct opposition to the Department of Justice’s declaration that such apps are criminal.

Garcia announced, “Over the course of the next couple of weeks, the Oversight Committee will be launching on their website a master ICE tracker where we’re going to be essentially tracking every single instance that we can verify that the community will send. You’ll be able to send us information on. It’ll be all available in one central place, and you’ll be able to look up that information as it relates to Los Angeles as well.”

During a press conference alongside Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) revealed the new platform would come as part of an investigation he is leading on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. In conjunction, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is leading a similar investigation into ICE on the Senate side through the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.

 

REPARATIONS MONDAY - M4BL

The state of California is now openly apartheid, creating a monetary reward system that awards people for being black and descended from slaves. The new reparations law was signed into being by Governor Gavin Newsome (D-CA). The law establishes a “Bureau for Descendants of American Slavery,” which will go through the process of verifying eligibility for the program next. After that, the bureau will determine the nature of the benefits, or rewards, then become the dispenser of the “benefits.”

The law will be challenged immediately due to its open violation of the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits government from discriminating against individuals because of the color of their skin. There are some constitutional exceptions, and leftist anti-Americanist judges will find it easy to ham fist this law into those exceptions, so the constitutionality of the law will be determined by whether the court leans American or leftist.

Blurb:

Five years after forming a task force, and more than two years after the group released its recommendations, Gov. Gavin Newsom has approved legislation making my home state the first (and hopefully last) in the union to approve direct “reparations” to the descendants of former slaves.

Also known as direct cash payments and other state-provided benefits to black people based on the color of their skin. Also known as…racist.

As we previously covered, these performative efforts at moral posturing have long been brewing in California. In terms of the proposed benefits, the proposals ranged from the absurd to the unconstitutional.

Social media - Wikipedia

New York City has filed a 327-page lawsuit in federal court against all the major social media companies, alleging they have driven children into a mental health crisis. They join a growing list of civic authorities nationwide bringing similar suits. So far, about 2,050 similar lawsuits are working their way through the court system.

The city declared in its lawsuit, “Defendants should be held to account for the harms their conduct has inflicted. As it stands now, [the] plaintiffs are left to abate the nuisance and foot the bill.”

NYC sues social media giants for allegedly addicting children

New York City has filed a lawsuit accusing Facebook, Google, Snapchat, TikTok and other online platforms of fuelling a mental health crisis among children by addicting them to social media.

The 327-page complaint filed on Wednesday in federal court in Manhattan seeks damages from Facebook and Instagram owner Meta Platforms, Google and YouTube owner Alphabet, Snapchat owner Snap and TikTok owner ByteDance. It accused the defendants of gross negligence and causing a public nuisance.

The city joined other governments, school districts and individuals pursuing about 2,050 similar lawsuits in nationwide litigation in the Oakland, California, federal court.

New York City is among the largest plaintiffs with a population of 8.48 million, including about 1.8 million under age 18. Its school and healthcare systems are also plaintiffs.

Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda said allegations concerning YouTube are “simply not true”, in part because it is a streaming service and not a social network where people catch up with friends.
