3) Bruner continued: "And we found a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros network, the Open Society network, it's other funding networks, the Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singam and his network, foreign cash."

2) "I think we know that this is not just a story about violence and chaos this is a money story," Bruner told President Trump. "And at the Government Accountability Institute we follow the money, and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex."

1) According to GAI's findings, the chaos now gripping cities like Portland, Chicago, and Los Angeles — especially the recent waves of anti-ICE violence — isn't spontaneous. It's organized, coordinated, and funded.

There are reports that a large fire has broken out in Novosibirsk at a factory that manufactures electronics and microchips for the Russian defense industry. It's unclear whether a Ukraine drone was behind the blaze, or whether it was a sabotage incident or possibly an accident.

President Trump Just posted on social media that Israel and the terror group Hamas have agreed to the first phase of a peace deal that would put an end to the grueling and bloody Gaza conflict after two years.

Heat to hang around the Midwest and drought to build in the SE. Not going to see any hurricanes in the Gulf this year? Have not seen that since 2015. It's rare, but not that rare.

3) Open the Books’ records do show that the highest-paid employee in the Corrections Department last year was Jermiagh Daly, who made $360,790. Another 107 people made more than $200,000.

2) Auditors reviewed the 20 highest overtime earners from two of Illinois’ largest prisons. They found 150 times where an employee used an entire days’ worth of paid leave and also worked overtime the same day.

1) Overtime pay is meant for employees working more than 8 hours per day, but the Illinois Department of Corrections has found a way to circumvent that rule. Employees are using paid time off to stay home during work hours and then coming in later the same day to work overtime.

Is it difficult to believe that those forecasting South American weather are just as confused as to what will be, as they were in forecasting U.S. weather this summer?

No drought forecasted for this winter, except for the SE, which needs to be, as it is a precursor for a Midwest drought. Historically, a Midwest drought begins in the SE U.S., then pushes into the Midwest in late spring/summer.

2) Comey - who was also a key player in the Russiagate hoax, spying on Trump's campaign, downplaying Hillary's emails, etc. - has not been arrested since his indictment by a grand jury, and will apparently just 'show up' for his arraignment. https://t.co/uLx8YAeHLK

1) As expected, Comey sauntered into court in Alexandria, Virginia today and pleaded 'not guilty' at this morning's arraignment.

This 14-day gives 3 areas of interest. Expect flood over the next 5 days in AZ. From KS to MN, heavy rains in places. Yet, the main region of increasing drought risk remains the same, from TX to PA. Over all, about 72% of the U.S. Grainbelt will see a fairly open/dry 14-days.

Still nippy north and east, with the frost and freeze warnings moving east into the weekend. Heat is rolling into the Midwest, returning to what has been........

Expectations move different directions past 10-days. With a very warm October, historical odds suggest colder north and west, with warmer east and south. The 4-corners of IA, NE, KS, and MO, walk away with normal.

In Agreement? Dry over TX, wet in the southwest.

2) "The red state proposals for AI in general have a lighter touch than the blue states," Sacks said. "But everyone just seems to be motivated by the imperative to do something on AI, even though no one's really sure what that something should be.” https://t.co/Z88XslNlpr

1) White House AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks blasted Democrat-controlled states, spearheaded by California, for pushing a wave of regulations that could force "woke AI" on the nation.

2) Lecornu blamed divisions among parties, including Macron's own centrist minority, for the breakdown in forming a new cabinet. Macron's move gives him some wiggle room before deciding whether to dissolve parliament and call early elections.
