This was an incredible week for news, and I am going to discuss just three of what I consider the most important events: The ongoing investigations and criminal indictments; the shutdown of the government, and the ceasefire and return of the hostages in Gaza.
The Ongoing Criminal Investigations
Letitia James, the New York attorney general who confected a criminal case for financial fraud against President Trump has herself been charged with criminal mortgage frauds. Former head of the FBI James Comey has been indicted by a Virginia grand jury for making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.
Reasoned speculation is that former national security adviser John Bolton

Over at last few years, people on the left have taken exception to the mission of Turning Point USA (TPUSA). Our leftist university campuses in particular have criticized the TPUSA mission, since it advocates conservative and religious values.
Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the founder of the organization, attempts to ban the organization have grown exponentially. And if they oppose the plans of TPUSA, they have good reason to be worried about maintaining their leftist agenda:
Since [Kirk’s] death, interest in Turning Point USA, the organization he co-founded has grown exponentially.
“In the past 2 weeks, TPUSA has received 121,000+ requests from high school and college students nationwide

How do they afford it? How do Antifa militants on the streets of Portland afford all the stuff that allows them to spend hours a day in waiting till the night so they can make life a living hell for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers trying to come in or go out of the driveway? And why does the city protect them?
We all know somebody's paying for all the prepared deli sandwiches and pastries that keep that topless lady in the wheelchair and her theater kid pals in rolls and butter. How do they afford it? How do Antifa militants on the streets of Portland afford

Before I begin today's piece, I want to step outside the proverbial box to take a moment and pass out a public "thank you" or two.
First, to my BitsBlog following, which if I'm reading the metrics correctly, has followed me here to PJ Media. For 24 years, BitsBlog has been a labor of love. With the help of my good friend Art Smith, I've never commercially capitalized on it. That love causes me to say, it will not be going away. You will still see me posting at BitsBlog, perhaps a bit less frequently, mostly with shorter items, rather than the long form stuff I've been posting here.

If we want to humiliate a party stupidly expressing its disapproval of us, we can take a lesson from J.K. Rowling. The Vancouver Parks and Recreation board voted unanimously to apologize for the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event set to open on November 7 in Vancouver’s Stanley Park after hearing from members of Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee.
In the X post below, Ms. Rowling advises the board how to ratchet up the pain. The upshot of her advice is that she could not care less, and yet she has delivered her message with a wit that probably exceeds the board’s capacity for comprehension. The Vancouver Sun helpfully

The shutdown rages, ostensibly, but not many seem to notice. When will it end? I suppose when Chuck Schumer’s polling shows him pulling even with Ocasio-Cortez, now that he has stood up to the dreaded Trump.
In other more significant news, a cease fire finally came to Gaza. It is bittersweet: good to have the remaining hostages returned, bad that Hamas still exists. Whether any of the remaining points of President Trump’s peace plan are ever implemented, remains to be seen. But memesters gave Trump credit for saving the lives that could be saved.
Meanwhile, battles raged in Portland and Chicago. The Democratic Party and its judges came out foursquare for criminality,

When Jarred Shaw, an American basketball player in Indonesia, stepped down to the lobby in his apartment complex earlier this year to collect a package containing illegally imported cannabis gummies, he thought that the medicine to ease his Crohn’s disease had arrived.
It had – but so too had 10 undercover police officers. A video on social media shows Shaw, wearing a black T-shirt and shorts, shouting for help as the swarm of officers move to apprehend him.
The 35-year-old from Dallas, Texas, is facing the possibility of the death penalty or a long spell behind bars. He was a key member of Prawira Bandung, who won the Indonesian Basketball League (IBL)

On Tuesday, the Minnesota Star Tribune sponsored an event for wealthy liberals at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. It featured JB Pritzker, the Governor of Illinois, and our own Tim Walz. Walz is a lot like Pritzker, except for the billionaire part. Pritzker and Walz portrayed themselves as valiant resistance fighters:
Govs. Tim Walz and J.B. Pritzker told an audience in Minneapolis on Tuesday they believe their criticism of President Donald Trump could result in both of them being arrested by the federal government.
The Democratic governors of Minnesota and Illinois also said they fear the Trump administration will try to use military and National Guard troops to target

Abigail Spanberger’s campaign for governor of Virginia took a major hit Wednesday night when she refused—repeatedly—to answer a simple question during the Virginia gubernatorial debate: does she still endorse Jay Jones for attorney general after his violent text messages came to light?
The exchange, moderated by Deanna Allbrittin of WRIC, was terrible for Spanberger as she twisted herself into rhetorical knots to avoid giving a clear answer. Her opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, wasted no time pointing out what everyone watching could see—Spanberger was dodging.
It began when the moderator tried to clarify an earlier non-answer. “Thank you, Ms. Spanberger. I just… I didn’t hear an answer there on the endorsement issue,

There is a fundamental misconception about what is happening politically in this country, and it may be helpful to reconsider a particular assumption that is creating cognitive dissonance throughout American culture. That assumption is that Democrats are a political party. Consequently, every measure of their behavior seems unexplainable. The assumption is incorrect. They have accelerated their devolution as a political entity over the last decade and have now arrived at a stable, if not entirely American, end state. The leaders, elected officeholders, and members have now been completely subsumed into a Communist Death Cult. The recent past is only a prologue for what is to come.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, whose insurrectionist tendencies would have made him most welcome in the Antebellum South, is nothing if not forceful in his defense of radical Antifa rioters against federal law enforcement officers — but will a new revelation force him to back down?
The question is rhetorical because who am I kidding? But today's news shows just how far Antifa's communist insurrections might be willing to go toward making Chicago — and maybe the country — completely ungovernable.
Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, as PJ Media's own Rick Moran reported on Tuesday, perform "in a two-man play" of local resistance

If you'll recall, back in early September, after the president ordered the U.S. military to begin striking Venezuelan drug boats in the Caribbean, the country's illegitimate narco-terrorist leader, Nicolás Maduro, got scared and wrote a letter to "Respected President Donald Trump." In it, he told a bunch of lies and half-truths about his peaceful regime that is totally not a cartel and that is actually fighting the war on drugs. He also begged for continued diplomacy talks through Special Envoy Richard Grenell.
On Monday evening, the New York Times reported that President Donald Trump "called off diplomatic outreach to Venezuela" and stated that "The move paves the way
