The Revenge of the White Van Man

First Italy, now South America. Populism is awake, and it sounds like common sense. From Milei in Buenos Aires to Meloni in Rome and Independents in Basingstoke, the revenge of the ordinary working man and woman, long sneered at by the metropolitan elite, is in full swing. In Buenos Aires, Javier Milei’s alliance has just cemented control of Congress with roughly 40% of the vote after delivering Argentina’s first budget surplus in 14 years. Inflation, once galloping toward 300%, is finally falling. The peso is stabilising. Exports are hitting record highs. For the first time in a generation, Argentina smells less like crisis and more like competence.

President Trump called on Republicans Thursday to invoke the so-called “nuclear option” and change Senate rules to allow legislation to end the 30-day-long government shutdown to pass with a simple majority vote.
“It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” the president wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post.
Trump explained that during his whirlwind Asia trip “the one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN-
President Trump said on Wednesday that he has instructed the Defense Department (DOD) to immediately begin testing U.S. nuclear weapons on an equal basis to China and Russia.
“The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country,” Trump wrote. “This was accomplished, including a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my First Term in office. Because of the tremendous destructive power, I HATED to do it, but had no choice! Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.”

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Wednesday revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith targeted the ‘entire Republican apparatus.’
According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The 2020 Trump alternate electors prompted the Biden DOJ to open the Arctic Frost investigation into Trump and hundreds of other individuals and organizations.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday night from South Korea he has ordered the Department of War to “immediately” start testing nuclear weapons, something the United States has not done since 1992 at the end of the Cold War.Trump’s statement came just an hour before he was scheduled to hold a high stakes meeting in South Korea with Chinese President Xi Jinping and also after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the successful tests of two nuclear powered, nuclear capable weapons systems–a cruise missile and an underwater drone.
Peace is slowly spreading around the old continent.
For years, conservative hero and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán almost single-handedly opposed suicidal EU policies and directives, becoming the European ‘bête noire’ that Brussels and Strasbourg love to hate.
When it comes resisting the Globalist commitment to supporting the Ukrainian war effort to the detriment of their national interests, Orbán was also alone.
But now, Budapest apparently will not have to go at it alone, as other peace-loving heads of state are popping up in Europe.
The Washington Examiner has uncovered deep connections between the Chavista regime in Venezuela and Black Lives Matter (BLM), an organization that presents itself as a defender of racial rights but, according to documented evidence, has served as a vehicle for foreign Marxist agendas.
It all began in late 2012, when Hugo Chávez, the eternal father of 21st-century socialism, ordered the delivery of at least $20 million in suitcases filled with cash to Opal Tometi, one of the three co-founders of BLM alongsidePatrisse Cullors and Alicia Garza.
According to a former high-ranking Venezuelan official who defected and witnessed the meeting,
South Korea — President Trump announced “we have a deal” shortly after meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping for almost two hours Thursday in their first face-to-face since he returned to the White House.
“On the scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the best, I would say the meeting was a 12,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One after leaving the South Korean air base that hosted the meeting.
“We have a deal. Now, every year we will renegotiate the deal. But I think the deal will go on for a long time.” Trump said that Xi agreed to pause for a period of one year-
My antennae are always on the lookout for any signs of a return to that dystopian world of community masking. As a staunch and longstanding critic of this ineffective and harmful ‘pandemic’ restriction, I have – over the last few weeks – been troubled by what seemed to be an increase in the number of TV images and social media pics where the protagonists are wearing a face covering. Surely, I wondered, our world cannot be losing its sanity again? Alas, three recent observations suggest that my fears may be justified.First, the World Health Organisation (WHO) – that high-profile globalist mouthpiece –
One aspect of the government shutdown that probably wasn’t anticipated by Chuck Schumer and other Democrats, is that it has revealed to the public just how many people receive food stamps.
Years ago, when the program was still called ‘food stamps’ it was seen as something that struggling families might use temporarily to get through a hard time. Then it was re-branded as the ‘SNAP’ program and destigmatized. People were encouraged to enroll. Now there are many more people using the program, many who probably don’t even really need it.
A new report being shared with Democrats is filled with bad news about their party.
Their brand is in the gutter and they are experiencing growth only among white liberals, while alienating pretty much every other group. This is something that we all began to see with the outcome of the 2024 election, but this report confirms it.
Part of the party’s problem is that they don’t stand for anything other than being anti-Trump. When they do stand for something, it’s on the 20 percent end of an 80-20 issue. How much longer can they drag on like this?

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom will have monitors monitoring the monitors following the announcement from the Department of Justice that they will be in the state to make sure all is on the up and up for the Newsom-orchestrated special election on November 4th.CA Attorney General Rob Bonta has accused President Donald Trump of having monitors in the state in order to "sow seeds of doubt" about the integrity of the special election on Prop 50, which centers around voters determining whether the so-called temporary removal of the independent redistricting commission is okay to do.

Most Americans oppose the demolition of the White House's East Wing to make way for President Donald Trump's ballroom, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.
A 56% majority of Americans oppose the Trump administration tearing down the East Wing of the White House as part of the construction of a 90,000-square-foot ballroom paid for by $300 million in private donations, including 45% who "strongly" oppose it, the poll finds. (Snip) Just 28% of Americans support it, with 15% strongly supporting the East Wing being torn down for a ballroom, the poll found. Another 16% say they are not sure.

Senators have passed a bill to revoke the national emergency declaration used by President Donald Trump as the legal basis for his reciprocal global tariff measures.
The Senate voted 51–47 on Oct. 30 in favor of the joint resolution, S.J. Res. 88, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.).. (snip)Sen.

“PBS NewsHour” Correspondent Liz Landers asked, “You positioned yourself as a consensus builder, someone who works across the aisle. Would you work with President Trump on areas like job creation?
Spanberger answered, “I think that you don’t work with the arsonist who burns down the house to rebuild it. And, in this particular case, the individual who’s responsible for an absolute attack
Walmart says its stores will remain open as a possible lapse in food aid threatens to disrupt shopping patterns nationwide.
A Walmart spokesperson told The Dallas Express via telephone on Wednesday that “Walmart stores will be open,” and implied that the company would be monitoring the situation closely. The potential suspension of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits could significantly impact retailers nationwide, particularly those heavily reliant on lower-income shoppers.
The looming halt in benefits, set to begin November 1 if the government shutdown continues, would cut off food aid for roughly 42 million Americans.
Analysts and economists have warned that the shock could ripple across the retail sector, reducing grocery sales, depressing
It hasn't been a banner month for Kamala Harris. A little less than a year from the day she lost the election, Harris is on a book tour (one that her fellow Dems are pretty sour on), and she's getting lambasted by foreign media for her role in covering up Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
Despite these setbacks, Harris insists she's not done with politics, even though in August she told Stephen Colbert she was stepping away from "public service" because the "system is broken."
King Charles III on Thursday initiated a formal process to remove the style, titles and honours of Prince Andrew.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., criticized Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on Thursday for not endorsing the Democrats’ New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdan.

And I would hope that the Democratic leader in the Senate would recognize that and would offer support not just to Mamdani

As RedState reported, Republican senators held a press conference on Wednesday, and what they revealed about the Arctic Frost scandal was incredibly disturbing. Describing it as "worse than Watergate," Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) presented evidence that 92 different conservative organizations or individuals were targeted by Jack Smith and the Biden-era Department of Justice. All of this was done under the guise of going after President Donald Trump over the 2020 election, and eight GOP senators also had their phone records subpoenaed, among other intrusions. That's where things get even crazier. According to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), infamous left-wing Judge James Boasberg was near the heart of this scandal,
One of America’s most iconic cities appears to have fallen to the radical Islamist left thanks to unfettered immigration from hostile foreign nations.
On Thursday, a viral video emerged showing 35-year-old Minnesota Democratic State Senator and mayoral candidate Omar Fateh, a Muslim and son of Somali migrants, smiling and waving his native country’s flag. The footage appears to be from a rally held by Fateh in August at the Brian Coyle Community Center in Minneapolis. As one can see, he pledges his complete loyalty to Somalia while speaking in either Somali or Arabic and urging his fans to vote for him in November. Can you believe this is happening in America?
We suppose the silver lining of New York electing an avowed Democratic Socialist as mayor is that we'll get to see how disastrous his socialist policies really are, and that'll discourage the rest of the nation from voting for socialism. But we won't pretend that learning that lesson will be hard, especially for the people of New York who didn't vote for Mamdani.
In his latest tax-grab scheme, Zohran Mamdani vows to tax businesses that leave New York and, it seems, any company that merely does business in New York, even if they're headquartered elsewhere.
